Yes, I am also claiming something. I am claiming exaggeration. My proof is the article, and I would rightfully assume they provided the strongest reasons for him being a bully there, I do not see bullying.

I am not the court, and I don't expect to know the fine details, but I need to the know the high-level points. I do not find these.

This is not Soviet-era Russia. If your going to be public about a person's guilt, you gotta give high-level evidence.
I think it's a humor disconnect. The author is expounding on something extremely minor and mundane with a large amount of hyperbole and detail, which his readers may not have thought of with that detail before. Some people might find it funny, others will not. I fall in the former group; I enjoyed it.
C has always had Asserts for that reason.
The reason it's showing that is because the document says

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="rfc2629.xslt" ?>

But rfc2629.xslt isn't uploaded in the same directory (and Firefox gets real unhappy when it tries to parse the HTML 404 page as an XSLT file). Which is fine, the XML file isn't there to show it rendered, it's to download the source. So you can still just save it.

Is there more to this story, or is this as dumb as the surface reading of it implies?
I won't try to answer your question directly but I'll tell you what happened to me and let you make up your own mind.

I developed type 2 diabetes probably by my mid-20's but because I generally felt OK I never bothered to go to a doctor so I didn't find out about it until my late 30's. By that time a lot of irreversible damage had been done and today in my early 50's I'm disabled with chronic fatigue and a leg amputation. I'm also deaf in one ear and had a stroke a couple of years ago, which luckily doesn't seem to have made things much worse.

I do think it's likely that if I had found out about the diabetes when I was young and treated it I would be in a much better situation today.
"initial annual budget of $7bn just for the shipping"

That's less than the (inflation-adjusted) Apollo Program budget (which accomplished far less!)

For the record, the US entered WW2 after more than four years of fighting- Japan was the proximate cause of US entry, and they had been engaged in their horrifying, semi-demi-hemi genocidal war in China since the Marco Polo bridge incident of 1937, two years before Hitler stared anything serious in Europe.

I suspect the authors point is that most countries in Central America were original members of the United Nations (signing the declaration in January 1942) and Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay and Venezuela all joined the war between 1943-5. Argentina was the last country in South America to join the war, at the end of March 1945- Hitler survived little more than a month of war with Argentina. And for those countries, it largely was about pressure from the US.
With two-level naming you still have the squatting problem of the top-level names. It's just now a fight over who owns `oracle/*`.

And if you say just use GitHub user names, you're merely relying on GitHub's support staff to sort it out for you (they're not magic, they have the same problem).
Unfortunately, it's now vital to child safety that iPhone users never be allowed to jailbreak their phones. Apple's recently-announced CSAM photo detection feature relies on Apple being sure that the real NeuralHash machine-learning model, not a fake that produces random data indistinguishable from a non-matching photo, is running on everyone's devices.

So I'd say the odds of them loosening their grip here are pretty slim.
This is only a problem now that npm has millions and millions of packages, IMHO having a flat structure helps in the beginning (abc/jquery vs def/jquery, which one is the official one?) and having a hierarchical structure helps later on.

> Should also be noted the second system sends no images to Apple or is reviewed by Apple employees in any way.

You are directly contradicting Apple's public statement:

> Apple manually reviews all reports

( https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Techni... )

Moreover, it was found that in US v. Ackerman that the NCMEC's inspection of a user's private email was an unlawful violation of their fourth amendment rights specifically because AOL passed along the email based on a hit against the NCMEC database without inspecting it. Had AOL inspected it than the repetition of the inspection by NCMEC would simply be a repetition of the search performed by AOL which was permitted under their contract with the customer.

Not only does Apple state that they will "review" the images, they must do so in order to deprive the user of their forth amendment protection against unlawful search by the government.

Apple is free to provide encryption and they are choosing to not do so.
In 2017 a good number of the VCs investing in blockchain in Vancouver, pivoted to investing in weed. I guess their investment thesis was actually "invest in things that can be sold on hype alone."
Captcha is served over browsers and browsers and websites can easily detect webcam device and process video recording. The same applies for mic and voice recording.

If webcam or mic is not detected and webcam recording or mic recording was given then obviously malicious actor is trying to cheat the captcha and submit fake recording/s.

Edit: You would be prompted with something like: "Wave your hand from left to right." And then video recorder would be presented to you and you would record yourself doing it and review the footage and submit it to the captcha task.

The same applies to mic and voice recording. For example you would be prompted with: Please say: "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." And then voice recorder would be presented to you and you would say it, review it and submit it in order to fulfill captcha task.

I'm betting on a physical recording device that a person has not on the ability or inability of bots or an AI to come up with a human video recording or a voice recording.

The simple explanation is the timeline of the resolution of power struggle of the ruling classes in respective countries. Both Canada and Australia were Crown colonies and subsequently member states of the Commonwealth of the British Empire.

England experienced extreme violence during its period of power struggle between contending members of ruling classes. If you review the history of England from Henry VIII until the consolidation of the conflict in what they call "The Glorious Revolution", you will note the same volatility and frequent change of power, extreme violence, and vulnerability to external powers. Had England experienced its power consolidation period in modern times, and was vulnerable to external powers capable of projecting power and influence using modern means, it would be another Argentina. In England's case, a chance event of inclement weather neutralized the armada of the super power of the time (Spain), and it should be noted that another invading force (Dutch Orange) finally resolved the matter.

The Anglo-Empire (currently administered by the American cousins) enjoys relative concord among the ruling set and the subject classes are effectively propagandized to accept their station in life. (A cursory review of any English work of literature or film supports this assertion.)

Should Latin America, Far East, Middle East, or any other non-Anglo region ever enjoy a sufficiently long period unmolested by the Anglo-Empire, they too will pass through their period of contention among the ruling classes and arrive at a stable formula for exercising governance over a docile population.

That is one way of saying that he simply has not allowed trivial concepts like a bunch of boring pictures to affect his mood. Another way of saying this would be "that sounds good, I wish I were not so affected by these things but alas, I am" or "lucky you, maybe I can find a way to avoid these mind traps".

There is no strength in weakness or defeat, there is no virtue in negativity or pessimism nor is the world a better place for people being triggered by a bunch of boring pictures. Just don't look at the damn things if they bore you, I never do - I just click the link for the audio version.
In California, medical marijuana is taxed differently than recreational: if you have a prescription you pay 15% tax, instead of 23-38% tax. The variation in recreational taxes is based on municipality; medical tax is a flat 15% everywhere.

The tax is probably still too high, but it's better than not distinguishing between the two. I suppose if the variation was large enough people might go back to paying sketchy doctors to prescribe them weed for "back pain" (which was fairly common in CA when weed was medically legal but not recreationally; the going rate in SF was somewhere around $80 for a host of back-alley doctors to write you prescriptions), but who knows.
> Until I started using a smart watch to walk me through morning and night routines

This might be a silly question, but what does that mean in practice? I don't think I have what can be called morning or night routine (other than "go to bed when sleepy" and "get up, shower and go to work") but I also can't think why I'd need more than that.
> A bit off topic, but for the smokers here what are your thoughts on lung cancer and other negatives associated with smoking?

No one knows if smoking weed causes lung cancer, but if it did, you'd think someone would have noticed sometime in the last 10K years.

However, everyone knows that smoking tobacco causes lung cancer. But this notion is technically not true. Smoking national brand cigarettes definitely causes lung cancer because what is in national brand cigarettes is not tobacco. It is about 50% tobacco and 50% additives, and also intentionally includes about 300 added carcinogenic chemicals to increase the addictiveness of nicotine... that is what is causing lung cancer, not natural tobacco. Pipe tobacco is just tobacco, nothing added, and pipe smoking (or rolling cigarettes from pipe tobacco), whether inhaled or not, doesn't cause lung cancer. Tongue cancer? Mouth cancer? Maybe to probably. Emphysema? A surity.

Here are a few quotes from the US Surgeon General Report on Smoking and Health[1]

No. 1103, p.112:
"Death rates for current pipe smokers were little if at all higher than for non-smokers, even with men smoking 10 pipefuls per day and with men who had smoked pipes for more than 30 years."

No. 1103, p.92
"Among the pipe smokers.... The US mortality ratios are 0.8 for non-inhalers and 1.0 for inhalers."

...which means pipe smokers who inhale live as long as nonsmokers, and pipe smokers that don’t inhale live longer than non-smokers.

Same in Ireland. Even if we gave employees their own old laptop to keep, we were told this would possibly put the company on the hook for warranty claims.

Instead what they did with the old non-leased hardware was that they said we had to bring it back when we were done with transferring our old stuff over (wink wink). But of course this model is not possible with a completely different party.
You could make a callback that only pushes to a buffer for later processing - to achieve the same behaviour that I suggested. So in a way, callbacks are more general (for an event that was pushed to a buffer, you can't have it be immediately processed by the other party, unless you add major threading and scheduling hackery).

Nevertheless I recommend to never make a callback based API unless there is a clear need for callbacks. If there isn't a need, plain buffers (Maybe I should better say "queues") and decoupled processing are the right thing. Callbacks encourage synchronous processing and where they are used to only push to a buffer they are only overhead.
I think the minor disturbance is the article and the outsized reaction is calling it a “soul destroying burden”.

I’m primarily a software dev, but clients mostly value my skills in producing visually pleasing layouts and graphics. I’ve come to realise that good aesthetics are extremely valued by most. Even during the development process, nice looking layouts/design integrated early can immensely lift the team’s spirits.

I have observed though there a some people who seem to undervalue the need of aesthetics, are very quick to write it off as superficial, and may even have some very negative emotional responses to this “arty stuff”. I would chalk up much of the perceived divide between front-end and back-end developers stems from this negative emotional response.
The sole study you quote:

> Funding - Moscow City Health Department, Russian Direct Investment Fund, and Sberbank.

I seriously can't tell if you are trolling at this point.

> The phase-III trials weren't even conducted in China.

You are confusing the Russia Trial with the Chinese one. I'm sure both have studies that were paid for by the state, analyzing data GIVEN TO THEM by the state. Both the Chinese and Russian vaccines refuse to release raw patient data. They think this shell game with the Lancet and others will fool people...maybe they are right. Maybe it will.

> Gao Fu's statements were not published, even in Chinese.

He said exactly what the Ambassador continues to say, the vaccines need to be made more efficient.

As I proved, the entire world knows this to be true. As said, you are arguing a point the Chinese government themselves are no longer arguing, which is that their vaccine is as effective as western alternatives.

> But there's actually hard data on the efficacy of the Chinese vaccines, collected outside of China and published in solid journals outside China, so we don't have to parse the words of a Chinese health official.

You are right:

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2107715

> China’s CoronaVac was 66% effective in preventing Covid among fully vaccinated adults, compared with 93% or the jab made by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech SE.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-08/china-mad...

But China's internal numbers were > 90%.

> A lot of people have the same general sense that you've expressed that there's no data Chinese vaccines, or that the data's being concealed, despite the fact that this is quite provably not the case

Well, lol. So all the people in SE Asia, the Middle East, South America, etc. that are tracking down western shots as boosters, they are all misguided? This is part of some worldwide conspiracy to "discredit" China? They are all confused? Keep in mind we are left to speculate about this only because we don't actually have raw data to either prove or disprove efficacy. What we do have is example after example of countries that either have Chinese vaccine and don't use it, or are tracking down alternatives after getting destroyed by variants only 6 months later.

> This impression is widespread because of really terrible reporting like the NY Times article I linked earlier.

You actually never refuted anything about any of the articles I posted, you just causally refer to them as bad. I guess this works in some circles, not here.

And you never answer my question. Your name is Greek, China invests a lot in Greece. Are you employed either directly or indirectly by the Chinese government?

That's not an accusation btw (kinda gives the game away that you took it as such), i'm just trying to figure out why someone would spend so much time defending authoritarian regimes.

It absolutely did, the article even goes into how new printings of the same journal now come with a public health warning because of the number of times it was cited, how it had subsequently been debunked, and the overall effect it had on the industry.
This is because in C, a function pointer is just a bare pointer to code, and cannot imply extra data such as your cookie. Usually a 'function' can do just that, either by capturing data (a 'closure') or by partial application.

Yup. They shouldn't exist. It's an outrage that they do.

They don't pay the reviewers. They charge the authors (who pay the ransom typically from taxpayer funded research grants), and they charge the readers, who are either the public or said academics again.

But the reason they do exist is that they have the monopoly on issuing the only acceptable currency that dictates the life and career of academics: publishing their work in "high impact" publications.
Sure, it depends on your threat model. Typically FI means living expenses < (assets * withdrawal rate). If being disabled is in your threat model, include long-term care insurance in your living expenses. Note that you aren't withdrawing just the interest, assets appreciate and you can withdraw from that ever-growing principal.

Psychologically, some prefer to not have a leaky boat, than to be in a boat and constantly expected to bail water. ("Oh, I can rest for a bit, then I better get back to bailing!").

I'm guessing that companies are mandating COVID vaccination simply because its cheaper - cheaper than maintaining all of the rigorous pre-vaccine hygiene standards.

Whether or not customers and staff are actually vaccinated, I don't think they really care. Its not like the vaccine provides sterilising immunity anyway.
They will be compensated. More importantly, it's the chance to do something weird, meaningful, and important. To be a part of history. Not to mention that getting away from one's life is a selling point to quite a number of people. I myself think they'll be swamped with applicants.
For the record, I am completely against screaming.

You see, screaming happens on a spectrum. It really isn't black and white. I wish there was a quantitative scale, but there isn't. And it actually does depend on a person's natural demeanor, some people literally scream when they're even being nice or happy! Is raising your voice without being negative called "screaming". I don't think so.

Perhaps true "screaming" is that which is coupled with negative words / profanity / putting someone down.

This is not an engineering organization. Deepmind is a research organization led by PhD Hassabis who is the obvious intellectual force behind the organization. All the pioneers of AI from Hinton to Goodfellow have PhDs in AI with a strong publication record. Core AI research is simply not an area where college dropouts like Suleyman can drive research. He is a non technical "manager" riding Hassabis coattails. If Hassabis can get work done without bullying, who is this dude?

So either the rock is meaningless, in which case... "more" power to them?

...or it's removal is meaningful, in which case they were right?

Either way: they have some not entirely implausible story of it being a symbol of something universally abhorred.

You are getting emotional in your indignation over their emotion. But then... that's it, isn't it? So you're grasping at straws trying to find some sinister motive in their actions, and base your argument on the absolute meaninglessness of the McMuffin at the center of it, and how you couldn't care less about it's whereabouts. But in the end, your argument comes back to "this doesn't matter".

So they kinda win by default, overwhelmingly, even if one were to agree that it's meaningless?
