One of the problems with the Spanish course is that all the later content (past checkpoint 5 or so) just stops explaining things at all, so it's up to the user to figure out things like how the negative imperative uses the subjunctive case. It's okay if you've taken a more structured language course in the past but I can imagine people starting from scratch just getting completely lost at that point.
haha! yeah, its rare but my company promotes devs to director positions so it can happen
> It requires running software that is not free/libre (Visual Studio, or parts of Visual Studio Code)

A little nitpicky, but the only proprietary part it requires is the plugin itself, not the IDE—Copilot runs just fine with the Free build of VS Code compiled from source from GitHub, after flipping a switch to enable WIP APIs.
Even the Fi roaming doesn't include US embargoed areas like Iran.
> So you are agreeing with me that there is prior evidence that adenovirus vector vaccines are safe and efficacious

I mean, the evidence isn't as strong as it is with mRNA vaccines, but nonetheless they are effective and reasonably safe.

I just think your division of categories is totally arbitrary and not grounded in any evidence.

> From what I understand the vaccine hesitant population includes medical professionals and many well informed people who are simply waiting for more evidence about its safety

You could describe the flat earth movement the same way. The world has a lot of people in it, the set of beliefs contained within run the gamuet. Some people think X is true for all X. I don't think that says much about the answer to the question one way or another.
Perhaps I misunderstood Slide 16:

Myopia progresses in two stages: (1) near work induces lens spasm, causing pseudo-myopia; (2) use of minus lenses temporarily improves distance vision, but leads to eye elongation and axial myopia. The result of elongation is a need to prescribe stronger minus lenses, in a vicious cycle of ever stronger lenses.

I haven't watched the video yet, but this sounds like my experience.
From an indian perspective, I'd like something like this to replace the lead-acid batteries we use currently in home UPS system. Lithium ones are too costly right now, and if they can make this cheaper and longer lasting than the gel or lead-acid batteries currently in use, they will have a huge market in India.
That's part of why I love my android eReader. I still get all that eInky goodness but I can also just use the Libby, Kindle, Kobo, Google Play Books etc. apps all on 1 device.

I got hooked on Diablo, and the memory of anticipating Diablo II (for which I built a computer) is almost tangible. WoW was the next drug/escape, and Hearthstone my last Blizzard slot-machine until I became a parent. I never thought I’d move away from games, and now I don’t miss them, turning instead to gardening and exploring with my kid. I still have a lot of emotion bound up in that game time, and perhaps they were useful in the absence of a counselor (in person or through books) who could help me cultivate a sense of purpose.

I still play a couple games (Hell Let Loose as a 3-person tank crew is great) but only as a way to spend time with distant friends.

Your site currently says every broker is broken.
Yes: Robinhood runs a casino dressed up as a brokerage, and packaged their offering as if settlement was instantaneous, rather than an efficient fiction built out of loans extended to everyone involved in settling a stock transaction. Brokerages put up substantial capital to insure themselves from each other based on how their customers are extending themselves; there are published formulas for how these capital calls work. Robinhood did their best to hide this reality from their customers, and got caught out.

Nobody should be defending Robinhood here. People are just wrong about what Robinhood did wrong.
Libby is indeed an amazing app. Surprising how it came from the same company that created Overdrive, which is an awful app.
New Zealand is best placed to survive collapse
When I opened my robinhood account, etrade was charging 6.95 per trade. I'm reasonably certain the loss in improvement over best public offer I'm losing or whatever is less than that. It's not "free" but the cost is way, way lower.
I think you're interpreting his meaning in saying that incorrectly.

You're not an employee for somebody else (correct? It's your own project) - it's not a salaried or hourly position where somebody else is currently signing your paycheck. You obviously don't hate it (I hope? If so, not sure why you wouldn't have canned it yet)

Thus, this is what most people would refer to as a passion project. You may have a different meaning of that term in your own mind, but I think, on average, most people would refer to what you're doing as such, and not to be malicious in doing so. I wouldn't let it hurt you, I'm sure that's likely not a friend's intention.
Robinhood would rather let people assume malice than admit to incompetence.
Suggestion: people who get hit with bullshit copyright strikes (which is quite a lot of people now) need to find each other and team up to file a class action suit against YT.

You might even be able to get state or federal justice dept.'s civil division interested. There could be some compensation due, but what you really want is to cover your costs and demand specific performance of YT actively making changes to uphold fair use and stop being an willing instrumentality for copyright trolls.
Anecdotally I've heard from plenty of people that they have strategies like putting minimum down on a house so they can walk away from it if the market crashes, as a lesson from 06-07. I suspect plenty of people learned lessons from the last crash about moral hazard and are doing whatever they can, for example not paying rent as long as possible just because they can, and then when the crash happens they'll buy a house or meanwhile it might be in Robinhood.

The poor aren't stupid. They can figure out schemes and strategies just as well as Wall Street, they just have less opportunity in most circumstances.
If I ever receive monetary compensation for violation of the license on my repositories, I will personally deliver it to you in cash. It won't happen.

I have a feeling Copilot is more of a tool for publicity than for development.
I read their statement as “there should be some mention of the notoriety within 10 paragraphs,” not that there should be 10 paragraphs that explain it.

You can also look at the edit history of a page. Are there unethical removals of information there, in your opinion? You can even link to the edit that removed them, like this one that removed some juvenile vandalism: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/102148089...
If the adults in the room have 'taken over' Acti-Blizzard, it wouldn't have been ran like a frathouse.

The reality is that over the years, Activision has kept their hands off their golden goose, and that the company's rot originates with the original management team. Notice how most of the harassment, and the retaliation that followed took place under the leadership of Mike Morheim (And that he's been personally called out for the latter.)
> The finance people have taken over Acti-Blizzard and they've been coasting for 10+ years on their original franchises. All we have is annual CoD releases and Blizzrad coasting on their old properties where Blizzrd hasn't had a significant original release in 10+ years.

Hearthstone was release March 11, 2014. Overwatch was released May 24, 2016. Both of these were hugely popular titles.
Some of the best fiction was written by people with absolutely despicable opinions like Francois Céline or Knut Hamsun. You can see it in their art, but their art isn't limited to it, and still holds a lot of value. Friedrich Nietzsche's opinions on women and politics are plain dumb, yet his other thought can be extremely compelling, and he is rightfully one of the most influential thinkers of modern times.

Going back further in time will only make you miserable if you hold the work closely accountable to the person. Terrible people can still say really good things, and I don't believe it is different with games or modern entertainment in general. Old Blizzard games are still good, and old Louis CK sets are still funny.
Except when it comes to providing a filter on their website to only show products sold by Amazon. Or not commingling inventory.
What countervailing evidence would that be? Do you have any links which explain what you mean?

I’ve been watching the launch process of Panic and it has been textbook awesome.

If you’re planning a HW launch, you should go back through their EDM and Social media accounts and take note of how they communicated.

A word of warning, don’t rely on an Apple Watch for important alarms:

Set Alarm on Apple Watch 2.57am Sydney time (3min before launch). Kept watch on silent mode as to not wake wife with other notifications. Alarm didn’t go off. :-(
Whether it is borrowing or dilution is a petty point to quibble about. The government already consumes 42% of what the people create. The questions are:

Are you OK with you and your descendants being made more poor by government dilution?

How much of your earnings are you comfortable forking over to government under threat of force?
And he managed to at other times. He just didn't in that particular instance.

I'm also unsure that was fully his goal. If so wouldn't other books or even other characters on the same book have opposing or different (yet still radical) views on the topic, instead of most of his characters all having really similar views?
Basic git-fu (init, add, clean, commit, pull, push, branch, merge, stash, log) goes a long way to make your life easier. You can leave the fancy stuff for later.

New research has examined the factors that could lead to the collapse of global civilisation, with New Zealand identified as the country most resilient to future threats.

The study, carried out by Nick King and Professor Aled Jones of the Global Sustainability Institute at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), focuses on "de-complexification"—a widespread reversal of the trends of recent civilisation, potentially seeing the collapse of supply chains, international agreements and global financial structures.
Could you explain why you think training models on copyrighted text is illegal or copyright infringement or whatever else it might be?
When someone buys shares of stock something real -- partial ownership of a company -- is being transferred from one person to another. Those shares mean something, and anyone can read the prospectus to see what exactly those shares mean. Companies pay dividends, buy back shares, and allow shareholders to vote on who will lead the company and what the company should do. When a company is bought by another company the shareholders are paid. In theory the shareholders might receive some proceedings from a bankruptcy proceeding (in practice this is uncommon since the creditors have to be paid first and usually bankruptcy happens when debts can no longer be paid in full).

There is more than just random numbers involved. Equity prices may have a tenuous connection to reality, but there is some real-world basis for stock, bonds, and derivatives. That is what separates financial markets from casino games (which are purely random number games).

An Analysis of the Potential for the Formation of Nodes of Persisting Complexity
>True but at least brokers didn't make it so easy to get margin or options

They did. I personally tried (in addition to RH) WeBull and Fidelity. Both allowed me to access margin and options just as easily. The only difficulty I had with Fidelity was their atrocious UX (not just for options, but in every single aspect).

>then have cute animations and other tech-inspired addictive features.

Tech-inspired addictive features? Like which ones? The only "addictive" feature that RH has over Fidelity is UX that doesn't suck massively. Had to help a friend recently with something as simple as closing out a trade on Fidelity, and we spent 10-15 mins trying to figure out how to do it. This is a disgrace, given how basic and fundamental of an operation closing a trade is.

If your backend is frequently throwing 500 errors and "convince the users of your system that this is OK" flies with your management, sure, backend is easy!

But that's often not the requirement... 100% available isn't the requirement per se either, but "as available as possible because outages cost us $XXXX/minute" is. And pushing that number up is HARD.

And remember the context of this thread: we have a claim here that backend IS easy and that it CAN be "100% correct and bug free." Saying this allows for random-ass 500 errors whenever stuff is broken is such a huge copout as to make that original claim meaningless.
The main point is: Assuming the New section is a queue, and that the very same link is posted twice, should the first link be re-queued in the New section again? It was clearly a duplicate, although it was not flagged as such.

> Once they learn the 2000 joyo, pass N1, and probably do some tertiary education in Japan, then maybe they can choose to move that direction

For the vast majority of people (including native speakers), knowing a few extra kanji outside of joyo brings very little benefit.

Most natives get by just fine by having a very rough understanding of even joyo [1], thanks to smartphones and computers.

Improving pitch accent, on the other hand, does change how you are perceived by natives [2], so it may be worth a try if your goal is to get closer to native speakers.

As I posted there, there are some uncanny parallels between what happened in 1918-1920 and now—a number of which you mention.

I also note there's an image at 15:16 of three people wearing masks one of whom is also wearing a big sign which says "WEAR A MASK OR GO TO JAIL". It seems rather apt these days.

I googled around, and ... has R. Kelly been convicted? Searching https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Kelly for the string "convict" yields only the sentence saying "R. Kelly had not ever actually been convicted of any crime", quoting a news article from 2019. There is mention of a "sentencing trial", but the cited article (from Dec 2020) says he has pled not guilty and that evidence will be presented, which also sounds like it hasn't reached the conviction stage. And recent news results don't mention convictions (other than "If convicted") either.

Do you have a citation?

YT is the wrong subject for such a lawsuit. Creators affected by abusive bans would have to go after the entities filing DMCA claims "under penalty of perjury"... the problem is, either you're heading up against some shell company that gets dissolved at the first whiff of trouble or you're heading up against mega-corporations that spend more money for lawyers defending against your suit than you'll earn in your entire life.
I used a Kindle keybkard for a long time to read all sorts of text based websites on the experimental browser as well as sending emails. The screen Refresh times weren't good but for text stuff it was alright. At the time I had an extremely limited data plan that still cost $40/month and provided minimal data so offshoring anything to the Kindle was a benefit. I took it travelling to the us and the middle East a handful of times as well.
I mean, if you say "parts of the backend are actually the frontend"[0] and "parts of the backend area actually the infra" and say "backend" is just a CRUD api that talks to a database: sure, that can be easy. But I've rarely seen backend jobs that don't require touching the 90% of the iceberg that's underwater...

So it's a stupid definition. I haven't built a large mobile app, but I'm not claiming frontend dev is easy.

You're claiming backend dev is easy but your argument so far reduces to "it's easy because the hard parts actually aren't part of it" which is tautological and pointless. You're not even just claiming it's easy, you're claiming it can be built 100% correct and bug free.

What's the most complicated backend system you've built? What database, what user scale, what traffic scale, what technologies, what servers, etc?

[0] the part of the backend that renders pages, if one exists, and the part that validates user input should be VERY VERY different components, anyway...
