Yes, that's about right. This is different from what you've heard before probably because you've heard more about per-capita emissions.

https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-pe... is nice; play around a bit if you want. The USA gets a lot of blame because it's a big polluter with very high per-capita emissions, but China pollutes more in total. Australia's a bit like a more extreme USA, and various small countries are weird outliers.
'w' - it's a hard 'v' as in 'very', 'vary'. Always, no exceptions and never anything else

I've been interacting with a Polish web and got very confused because what happens with stand-alone w, that seems to mean in. Indeed Google Translate pronounces it as a v. First time I see a word in any language that consists only of consonants :-m

It’s “correct” but quite rare. The wh was originally a digraph pronounced with a voiceless labial–velar, but but most variants of English have undergone what linguists call the whine-wine merger so those words sound the same. Exceptions are Scots, Irish, and some Southern US varieties.

> for some reason I managed to do everything with a bicycle/public transport till I got my driving license

Reasons being: no job and no kids. I lived for years in the LA megalopolis without a car. Where going to the toilet is customary done at the wheel (1). We could possibly share stories about that one multi-hour bike ride to the box store and back. All that ended quite abruptly with the first job and especially the first kid.

(1) Not really, but I hope it helps getting the the point across.
They do dominate, quietly. Because:

1: Moderate doesn't sell eyeballs and clicks, so extremism gets the attention, which is what it wants because it will attract more of the "curious disillusioned" for potential indoctrination

2: Until unknown critical mass of perceived-threat-paranoia, there's no need to publicise / protest / soapbox one's moderate-ness because it can be relatively assumed. ie. I don't need to explain that I'm not one of those nutjobs.

If you're asking "why don't their values dominate" on a foreign policy level, well, I'm unqualified to answer that, except to say that realpolitik is far removed from most citizens' day to day lives (the conundrum semi-explored by A Few Good Men seems appropriate to mention here).
still, I see no serious action being taken to tackle the climate crisis. Current governments are just putting some dates by which we’ll stop doing x or y, but in really almost nothing concrete is done to stop the worst scenarios.
As somebody who had Japanese gadgetry frequently around me 1995-2005 when I lived in Vladivostok, I find the premise silly.

Japanese versions of PDAs, and mini-PCs (exactly, PDA sized PCs) had zero problem both with display, and input of their language. 16x16 was the font standard.

I frequently got second hand devices with data intact, and I wondered how in the world their font designers managed to pull it out.

Second, Japanese devices had superb connectivity to anything from abroad, a completely 180° of the picture the guy draws.

Clies, Zauruses were able to go to the internet by themselves in around year 2000, and every trendy gadget came with sync cables for those. I had sync cables for my MD walkman for both Zaurus, and Clie. I even saw Sony digital tape players coming with some digital audio i/o adapters.

So, the author feels to me to have zero idea of what he is talking, just pushing the standard trope of "smart, but unimaginative Asians"
I once inherited a project where the previous "webbed" had forced a lot of css formatting using "!important". I wanted to pull out my hair because of how unpredictable everything was.

It should be obvious that the exact result depends on the corpus and year. The one you link is apparently from 2003.

Well who is trolling who - if their overgeneralization prompts you to correct them or provide a counterexample, maybe you're already feeding the troll.

the original sound quality of ⟨v⟩ in Latin was also /w/

IIRC, there wasn't a U letter in Latin, so the vowel was written as V. I guess it tended to souns like W when starting a syllabe, as in versus.

At that time, if things don't improve by a huge margin (like in : never before in human history; except maybe at WW2 levels), hundreds of millions of people will have moved away from their birthplace (taking the place of other who may or may not be happy with it, which may lead to "tension" between populations; see what happens today when a few refugees (yes, a few) reach the borders of Europe...)

My understanding is there will be many more losers than winners.
>but far fewer people are comfortable talking in a large group of strangers.

Pandemic has played a definitive role in the growth of Clubhouse, it would be interesting to see how it pans out after people get on to regular activities because they are generally shy to speak to their phones in public as compared to speaking on their phones.

But this varies according to the cultures.

Learnt this after launching couple of voice based apps in circa 2016, It saw huge activity from China when their appstores took our app from playstore and published it on them. Rest of the world didn't use the app much. Diging into this phenomenon I found that voice messages were even preferred over text in China at time.

Without statistics there is no meat; the Guardian is good at narrative but not so good at objectively reporting on trends. I see only one concrete point in the article; that the heat in certain areas broke records by 5.5 degrees is a relevant factual datum, but to understand what it actually means you have to ask things like: how many standard deviations is that? How long have these records been kept in this many places, and how many record-breakings are "normal" (I'd guess that in any given year the hot and cold temperature records would be broken somewhere).
This is a canard, really. The PDO library, which is a core PHP module, has SQL injection mitigation built-in (with escaped parameter substitution). It was introduced with PHP 5 in 2004. The popular PHP frameworks such as Laravel and CodeIgniter also protect against SQL injection and XSS by default.

The MySQL escape functions are named the way they are because that's what they are called in the MySQL API, which PHP exposes pretty much verbatim. I don't see a lot of people using that interface in new PHP code (because Laravel and PDO), but it comes up on older code.

Again the problem is not obscure function names or that PHP makes it possible to shoot yourself in the foot. The problem is a whole lot of inexperienced programmers (and quite a few who should know better) not understanding the problem in the first place. If you don't know what SQL injection is or how it happens or how code can make it possible you aren't going to know how to protect against it. PHP does do it for you if you use PDO (more than 15 years old at this point), or any of the numerous other safe RDBMS libraries. This is like complaining that Honda makes shitty cars because some people put glass packs and spoilers on a Civic -- people use languages and tools wrong out of ignorance and inexperience.

I think it's clear that PHP has been taken seriously for some time, even if largely because of WordPress. It's not going to die off or get relegated to the language ghetto because it has some (obvious, well-known) flaws that serious programmers have known how to live with for literally decades. Regardless of what you think or see on Upwork, PHP contractors are not cheap. No one who can and will work on legacy code is cheap because most programmers won't even do that work if they can help it. Supporting legacy software, which includes improving and securing and upgrading it, is maybe the most lucrative and secure niche for programmers sitting there in plain sight.
From California to be more precise. USA is huge and there are a multitude of 'nowheres' like small factory towns that do not participate a lot in this innovation process.

This then ties into something more important that geography. Culture and freedom from physical, psychological and monetary oppression. It is not that people in rest of the world or rest of USA are less smart on average. It is that they live in a system in which some form of oppression exists if someone higher up in the food chain learns of their success and starts beating them down so they never reach greatness as in California. This someone higher up does not even have to be the government or the local mob. Could also be family/relatives and/or cultural standards (better safe than risky, rich is evil, distribute your riches to the poor ASAP etc)
I don't want my name to be pronounced natively outside my native language. It would feel strange. I very much prefer the English bastardisation of it, which fits better in an English sentence.
The process of science needs this useful data - a problem is that we currently have coupled the publication of these useful observations with scientific conclusions, which results in publishing lousy conclusions and not publishing valuable observations (e.g. negative results); perhaps it would be better to decouple these things so that people can (and would be motivated) to publish their primary studies/observations, where there would not necessarily be anything falsifiable, and the conclusions can be done afterwards by others, preferably combining multiple observational studies (thus being not only reproducible but reproduced), like e.g. meta-studies often used in medicine.
Agree. I was going to add cargo-cult, idealistic, and nonsense. I think reading this guy's list actually killed some brain cells.

The problem is not just that we tolerate bullshit: we reward it. I'd bet he gets paid quite handsomely to trot out this bilge.

Here's a thing close to my heart: "Knowledge work has unique concerns, unrelated to those of a factory or construction site." But notice how he doesn't talk about any specifics, or recognise that there are shades of difference in knowledge work: e.g., it's easier to make determinations about delivery when adding well-understood and tightly scoped CRUD pages, than it is when delivering a more R&D oriented outcome. Don't get me started on the Toyota nonsense though because we'll be here all day.

Another bugbear: talking about outcome versus output without being specific about what you mean with these terms. Grr. And the first point about processes: they don't serve people, they serve business outcomes. Sometimes those things coincide; often they don't.
Completely forgot about bone conduction (I was thinking bed side speakers disturbing your partner, or conventional headphones disturbing you), but still you need it strapped on - a slight discomfort. Also, since you mention measuring, there is another component strapped on (unless it is a fabric woven sensor). An image search on EEG produces cumbersome looking devices.

I suspect it’s a byproduct of “enlightenment now” movement which asserts that humans haven’t had it so good as they do now. Worldwide poverty is the lowest ever, least violence etc. There’s a minor issue of growing inequality and impending climate disasters but that’s all ok and will work out well. Its torchbearer is Steven Pinker and he’s ably supported by, unsurprisingly, the richest 0.1%.

I don’t have a 4K desktop monitor but I was curious to see if it does anything with larger fonts. Trying it out with Open Sans and it does still give an increase in contrast on a 34px title font sample, but not as significant as on the smaller body text: https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/juxtapose/latest/embed/index....
Nope.
That is why people struggle with Danish o,ø,å,y,u and a,æ.

But in reality, at least for Croatia, the differences in dialects mean that in some dialects some words with "o" are pronounced as "ø", or "a" as "æ"...

Anyway, reading Slavic compared to English/Danish is a piece of cake. Grammar on the other hand...
> My personal read is that a huge amount of that in the last decade or so has been a consequence of basement central bank rates.

The central bank doesn't decide the interest rate, rather it is closer to an autonomous organization whose goal is to let interest rates follow the economy.

Low interest rates are the result of the preference to hold deposits and the preference to not take on debt. If you want higher interest rates you'll have to raise the government debt ceiling or kill deposits with inflation/negative interest rates on deposits. Considering the demand for perpetual savings it only makes sense that governments would issue perpetual bonds.

The reason why perpetual bonds are interesting is that they only have to be paid back when they have to be paid back.
That's how the private equity firms squeeze their assets for cash, on the open marketplace.
This would make things worse on streets that have even a moderate amount of traffic (4 people per hour) as lights switching on and off is far more distracting than ones that are on continously.
Whatever current event you're concerned about, have you looked for historical precedent? Suppose you were to discover that the same kind of event had happened in, say, the early 1900s, and/or the late 1800s, before humans had emitted any appreciable amount of CO2. Would that change your opinion about whether we're in a crisis?
It is quite funny, because when I was learning English, it was so bizarre that the first-person pronoun was only one letter (putting aside the required capitalization). On the other hand, having to write and instead of i still seems quite unwieldy to me.

I watched this video. Here is a summary. The delivery sucks and the guy is annoying to listen to, but do not shoot the messenger. His facts are accurate. Apple, the world's wealthiest and perhaps most powerful company, is gouging selected customers with an $800 repair for an admitted backlight design defect that Apple will only fix under warranty in certain models. He shows proof that Apple is deleting any comments in their support forums about how to fix the defect in unsupported models without paying $800. He further observes how hostile Apple "users", i.e., people commenting on his YouTube channel, are to any criticism of the company, as if they take it personally. He also suggests it is likely other companies emulating Apple may adopt some of its worst practices as Apple demonstrates what today's customers will tolerate.

Again, frantic hand-waving and pointing fingers, filled to the brim with logical fallacies. I can only imagine what kind of work culture exists in your company that you keep repeating the same tired, generic excuses that I've heard thousands of times before, thinking that they're not fallacies.

The fact that you and many others in this industry think these arguments are in any way rational or defensible puts our industry to shame.

I don't see how it is a failure. Our money is a failure because of the asymmetry between deposits and loans. You must pay your loan on time but you don't have to spend your deposits on time. The obvious answer is always extend the deadline or take away the deposit.

Pinyin is predictable if you memorize every single syllable that exists, it is not logical on a letter-by-letter basis.

For example, "liu" should be pronounced "liou" and "shui" should be pronounced "shuei", but the "o" and "e" are omitted in Pinyin for brevity. Similarly, the "u" in lu and mu is different from the "u" in "ju" and "qu"; the latter is actually "jü" and "qü" as in "nü" and "lü", again the diareses are omitted purely for the convenience of the writer. The "a" in "yan" and "ya"/"yang" is completely different, etc.

I like Pinyin as a reasonably concise input method, but it's not great for romanizing names.
A major difference is that, Borg needs a server side code running as well, unlike restic.

Restic can take up a lot of RAM, unlike Borg.

Borg offers the option of no encryption. This is useful when backing up to a local drive that is already encrypted, for example with LUKS.

But, they are generally similar.

That's why they changed the inflation target. If your goal is 2% then you have to raise rates before you even hit 2% nipping full employment in the bud. If you target an average rate of 2% then having a year with 5% and four with less than 2% lets you balance things out.

Edit:

I read the article and it basically boils down to rich people benefiting from low inflation because it doesn't erode their deposits and makes stocks/housing go up without increasing wages. It's pretty much true but it is also so obvious to be boring. Money from the past is power from the past.

Maintaining the value of money earned 60 years ago is the same as maintaining power obtained 60 years ago. Holding onto money doesn't help workers be more productive so if they spent their 60 year old money it would get eroded by inflation. You therefore need to add some slack in the labor supply that is not used up by anyone, meaning nobody is going to miss that labor if it is paid by 60 year old dollars that would otherwise result in inflation if there were full employment.

A lot of the scientists and top “scientific” (actually political) institutions were repeatedly wrong, directly lied or indirectly mislead in the past 18 months. Many scientists who disagreed with the official narrative (at the time) were censored or cancelled.
The 16 bit float example fails to show that IEEE754 uses an implicitly set most significant bit on the fraction. The reason being that if the most significant bit were 0, then the fraction could be shifted left and the exponent lowered by 1 to compensate, until the msb is 1, a process called normalization.
