The authorities you appeal to here are evidently as delusional as this particular human canary they so confidently and cooperatively caged up.

What the authorities need is competition, or else continued abuses of their monopoly are certain.

A system that enables these kinds of outcomes should not be allowed to promote their services as helpful to people. One man's potential settlement check does not acquit them of their responsibilities.

A system that sends people to the sidewalk and then punishes them there does not need to be fed any more, it is eating plenty on its own.
Stallman told a woman he would kill himself if she wouldn't date him.

That's not just 'sad', as you call it. That's abusive emotional manipulation.

And no, neither depression nor autism excuse such behaviour.
The "smile more" analogy is, I think, a good explanation of it. Women's behavior, including language, is tracked closely, and anything that stands out can be used as a justification for worse treatment. When the solution is "don't do that", rather than changing the culture to treat men and women the same, it's sexist.

Uptalk doesn't actually sound like a question. It's similar, but nobody actually listening to the person is confused by it. Rather, it's singled out because it's a pattern associated with women.

Women are constantly being monitored for gender-specific behavior. Women who don't dress in female-specific ways will be censured for it, but so will those who show too much of their femininity. The same outfit can end up being criticized for showing both too much and too little.

I do feel sorry for the manager, who gets stuck between the rock and the hard place. It's wise to act defensively. But it's also unwise to simply give in to a set of shifting, contradictory demands. It sucks that the manager gets put in a position where the right thing to say was "You talk however you want and I'll fight for you regardless of what you choose". That shouldn't have to be her job, on top of all of the other ways a manager already fights for their employees. It's yet another case where we heap extra burdens on some people and then act surprised when they don't make it to the very top ranks.
I think it’s important though to know that these operators exist.

Hey there! It's a community management software where you can build your own white-label community site with built-in gamification features like ranks, quests, badges, and leaderboards.
You are right that this is ultimately about choosing priorities and sticking to that choice.

> "I don't have the time"

Can also mean "I have enough chaos in my life right now that I cannot determine my priorities well enough to say yes and keep that commitment."

> so it's much more believable

This chaos can come from failing to say no to commitments for fear that the people in your life will not believe you about your own time-management situation.
It's no different than ireland (same % taxation), are they both tax havens? Cyprus is not on the OECD tax havens list for years, and in fact are considered a rather safe choice, hence the rise in popularity of their residence/citizenship programs (and their fees)
>The best thing to do is forbid them re-entry into the country nor to hold controlling interest in any company in the US.

This is so wrong at so many levels. Im not from the USA, yet I own Disney stock and visit the USA every year for tourism. Should i be blocked as well?
No need to check, that would be almost impossible, unless they could read the programmer's mind for the intent...
Your code is nowhere near as egregious as the OP's. Actually, I would even suspect your code is made better by not using hacks, because you deal with bases (radix) that are not necessarily 2. And using strings is a necessity since your output is a string.

The original article, instead, is a straightforward bit extraction, from integer to integer. For people who do know bitwise operators, the simple shift reduces mental load (at least according to OP, and I strongly agree).

The opposite of strongly typed is weakly typed, not dynamically typed. A language can be both dynamically typed and strongly typed. Python, for example.

The opposite of dynamically typed is statically typed. SQL is not statically typed.

Are these trees ever called Canadian Redwoods?

I’ve always thought we were told they were canadian redwoods but i could easily be wrong. Maybe they said giant redwoods like this site.
That would go way further than existing optimizers can go.
Again, as I said: Stallman allegedly has a pattern of troubling behaviour going back decades. Not just troubling words, either, but actual behaviour.

Stallman's crass words about consent, re sex-traffic teenagers, was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Many black people's view of healthcare in America is already negative, https://theundefeated.com/features/new-poll-shows-black-amer... and negative experiences are often communicated first and second-hand.
Black americans are also more willing than other groups to believe in genocidal conspiracy theories,

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16009745/

There is an ongoing awareness of the Tuskegee experiment in the black community because in every group discussion (among just black people) of the covid vaccines I've observed someone will bring it up.

That said, I'd say it is just one piece of America's extensive history of race-targeted abuse that black Americans are hyper aware of and fuels belief in nonsense conpsiracies.

It does receive quite a lot of outsized attention in media like NPR and academia, to which the original article appears to be responding.

This is untrue, if you're a citizen of Australia who is a non-resident you don't have to report or pay taxes on world wide income made outside of Australia.
It's simpler and more emotionally appealing to explain things from an exploitative marxist point of view.
Not too bad really for us overseas Australians.

If you took out a HECS (0% interest, indexed to inflation) loan for university study you still need to file taxes when resident overseas and continue making payments if you earn over the threshold.

If you are resident in Australia more then 6mths of the year you must complete an Australian tax return, but for most people that involves logging in around september and checking that all the auto-fills match up with what they expected.
Unfortunately there are people whose information bubble makes them doubtful of the easily accessible answers by trustworthy sources because their social environment has cast doubts on whoever happens to be the authority in their country.

It's very hard to reach them. I have trouble reaching my otherwise reasonable friends and family. They are not flat-earthers nor alt-right or whatever. Most were not even anti-vax before this. The most common argument is that since their government is full of incompetent and corrupt people (and they adduce a dozen of examples about anything random that happened before and after the pandemic, including bridges collapsing to whatever scandal du-jour happened five years ago or some illogical covid rules they made in the past years, or that some expert is scaremongering everybody in TV every day and acts a bit like a jerk), then "it follows" that the whole thing cannot be trusted and perhaps whoever is saying the opposite may be right (which easily becomes "must be right").
Fair point. As you implied, security key adoption, particularly for the consumer-facing web, is very low, as is support for more secure security keys (FIDO2) by consumer-facing web services. We're trying to bring that level of security to mass audiences through a simple UX that a minority audience (that dislikes relying on phones for authentication) may dislike. That said, we think our phone-based auth security and UX are better than those of SMS OTP, TOTP, and push notification verification, so hopefully we can convince that audience over time.
What Is a SPAC?
If you ignored a court order or fine, you'd also be sent to prison in Germany (Erzwingungshaft). A quarantine order from the local health office is no less official and binding than that. In both cases, it's fairly limited, usually to less than 3 months at absolute maximum, the quarantine deniers will probably sit there for 2 weeks.
Many countries do, and losing your tax residency in a country of which you’re a citizen and have been recently resident is a pain — check out the UK statutory residency tests for example.

That said, it _is_ possible to lose your tax residency in these countries, where American citizens are simply fucked.
The Spanish golden visa will require a €550k housing investment, then the normal amount of accrued in-country time for citizenship.

Maybe we’re sort of upper midde-class then. We gross about $200k consulting. Not rich, not poor.

We live in the developing world now so here we are definitely upper middle class/rich, and do not have millions in assets.
The US is the top tax haven in the world.

You read that right.

The US is the top place to hide your money if you are a foreigner

Yet foreign countries are not rushing to change their laws to tax their citizens living abroad. There is no urgency to tax their expats who havent worked or lived back on foreign home for years, even decades.

So if nost countries have reason to complain about us helping hide stuff, they dont seem interested in enforcing anything

The core of both is the same: anti-science and anti-society.
A timing difference is not the only way to tell from which side a sound came. Since the ears are at opposite sides of the head and the external ears have particular (but unchanging [0]) shapes, a sound will be changed in a different but predictable way depending on the direction it comes from. This effect also helps with detecting whether a sound comes from the front/back or top/bottom of the listener.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-related_transfer_function

[0] Change the environment around the ear a bit, e.g. by putting a hand relatively close to the external ear and listen how doing that changes sounds.
Not sure what your point is. The general scientific consensus so far seems to be that there is no evidence to justify the need for people who already had COVID to get vaccinated. If anything it is worse, as only around 15% of the world population is vaccinated. By getting vaccinated while you already have COVID antibodies you take the vaccine from someone who does not.
The spirit of the internet won’t generate secure hardware or a transparent software stack.

Also, that spirit existed only in an adversary free environment. You may as well say the solution is for everyone to be nice to each other.

The solution is to build new technologies that are privacy preserving, transparent, don’t place trust in a central authority but are resistant to attack.

This is possible but nobody has built it yet.
This.

The direction Mozilla decided to take Firefox truly baffles me because of this. Turning FF into Chrome seems like a losing proposition: you'll lose the users who actively don't want something Chrome-like, and it'll be pretty hard to get users who enjoy Chrome-like browsers to switch from whatever their current browser is. Why bother, when you already have that experience? Even the privacy angle isn't good leverage, as there are established Chrome-like browsers that do well on that count.

It's never made sense to me.
It seems like it‘s really a "type of brain" thing. I think I would even appreciate an alternative browser reader mode that puts normal articles in this style, only on a phone though.

It’s the same for organists in large cathedrals where there is a huge delay and subsequent reverb, as the pipes are often quite far from the player and sound bounces off every conceivable hard surface before making its way back to the organist.

My bank account's got robbed by European Commission. Over 700k is lost.
March 28, 2013, 06:00:15 PM

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=160292

P.S. The worst thing is, that even a month ago I was suspecting that things can go wrong. In February, I several times called my banker and lawyer and asked them if money on the account is safe, mentioning that article in Financial Times. But they convinced me that there is no reason to worry, and even if country goes default, in no way current accounts may be affected. "This is European Union and banks here can't just grab your money and go" I was told.
I got a hard lesson and now I know the meaning of phrase "TRUST NO ONE".

The rest of the money (100k EUR) are still subject to Capital Control and we can only transfer 5K monthly.

Today I had a conversation with a manager from Laiki Bank.
He has been honest and confirmed that we may forget about anything over 100K as it's already spent to pay country's debts. Also, I was warned that the financial situation in the country is getting worse and worse and we should be ready to lose even part of insured (under 100K) money during this year (this is why they keep capital control enforced).

By the way, this style of "bank restructuring" is going to be adopted in the whole European Union.
Soon, everyone's uninsured money (over 100K EUR) in EU banks will be at risk of seizure.

Everyone here has never been able to go to school in the usa since they were kids unless they proved they were vaccinated against the standard diseases we've been giving out shots against for decades. Same goes for most high education too.

It's just become "a thing" now thanks to the rightwing using it as another way to aggravate their base, and thanks to "experts" who have an internet connection and think they know more than epidemiologists.

Unless these steps are taken this will never end and the daily hassles will be worse and go on longer for everyone.

I wish the English (and others following their lead) would stop using the phrase "British Isles" to include Ireland. Many Irish people find it highly offensive; at best it is simply inaccurate.

"In Ireland, the term "British Isles" is controversial, and there are objections to its usage. The Government of Ireland does not officially recognize the term, and its embassy in London discourages its use. Britain and Ireland is used as an alternative description" [1]

Ireland has not been a British Isle in more than a hundred years when 84% of the island re-gained its independence.

“Facebook is large enough to afford professional lobbyists and consulting firms if they need political access. They don’t need to give executive level positions to former employees of a governor’s communications team to get access.”

This is no different. Basically they are hiring lobbyists on staff instead of dealing with a lobbying firm.
I learned these operators in a college course I took while in High School[0]. I remember I had to make flash cards with examples and memorize throughout the semester. I kept mixing up & and | in comparison/setting.

Distinct drivers of Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in the United States
It's also problematic in other way, my friends moved to US for a job for few years and had kids there. US gives you citizenship by place of birth so the kids have US citizenship. Now that they are back they are in a bit of a pickle not knowing what to do, the kids might be screwed and own money to the US for nothing when they grow up but renouncing it now for them also doesn't make sense (if even possible) because they might want to have it, who knows.
> It's no different than ireland (same % taxation), are they both tax havens?

Any country can be a tax haven if you're not already living there and rich enough to negotiate special terms.

Greece and Cyprus offers citizenship-by-investment, and there are many ways wealthy people can 'invest' in the same way they do 'philanthropy'.

I believe that the BBE Sonic Maximizer (http://www.bbesound.com/products/sonic-maximizers/default.as...) products fix that. They (time) align the components in the frequency spectrum, for lack of a better description. edit: Or rather, it works as a dynamic EQ to dampen/amplify certain frequencies.

Most guitarists that have a rack-setup, probably have or have tried these - in practice, the effect is just a more smoothed sound.
The problem is that each person's pinnae have a unique geometry, which makes the notches of the comb filter lie at different frequencies for everyone. As far as I know, there's no good way to determine this other than a direct measurement, which requires specialist equipment.
