Well no, covid. It's still fallout from that. Factories in the cheap-labour countries like Taiwan closed down due to covid, and oftentimes management made conservative bets about how long covid would continue, so they didn't ramp up production or efficiency (or couldn't).
Per your own link (Espionage and security concerns section), there are dozens of "expressions of concern" and similar, but no one has ever found the backdoor that is apparently totally definately there...
Same issue.

I struggeled with french on German keyboard, so I searched how to type everything, and all wad easy except the ç.

The only solution was to type ALT+135 from the keypad. It worked until a recent windows update, now I get garbage from that shortcut.

I will give this a try, thanks!

If they don't support Taliban, the Afghan government will...

Whaaat? — I already hear it, but yes. This is this much fucked up.

We funded the child rapists. Gave child rapists guns. We had non child rapists around, but we gave arms and vehicles to child rapists which enabled them to take children and rape them. Then we ignored the fact that they were raping children.

Go try looking up a sex offender in your area and doing the same sort of stuff. You will be held accountable, trust me.
I have an informal background in learning and cognitive psychology and a decade in volunteer crisis support and mental rehabilitation back into a modified normal life.

The pointlessness of online, self-motivated, CBT has been a constant source of anger and frustration in mental health communities for years. Granted I most likely only see the people these tools fail for and are then further down the track so I can't claim of any knowledge on what % of people CBT or DBT works.

I wish you well of course, but mental health is not an area that 'scales' well in this way. Self-motivation and reflection are usually the first tools to fall away when someone is in need of mental health support. I think too much emphasis is placed on replicating academic 'truths' in the absence of the actual issues people face.

characterizing the Korean War like that is a bit simplistic. the South Korean was another one of the many proxy governments the US supported in SE Asia during the Cold War that committed their own share of atrocities, political repression, and otherwise authoritarian behavior - which the US tolerated because they were "anti-Communist"
Air Support - with the US withdrawal, there's been a decrease in that especially given the Aug 31st deadline. And India's not immediately interested in providing immediate air support as well (in order to try and make inroads with the Taliban, like all other nations in the region are)

I'm not opposed to the idea, but there are some counterpoints that suggest it may not be as effective as you think. Look at gasoline tax. California has the highest tax in the country, yet it's also the largest consumer.

I think other commenters have it right when they say there's a culture problem. In Niagara Falls, for example, it's a fairly common occurrence for Americans going into the Canadian side to get into arguments with Starbucks employees because they think they're being scammed/ripped off, when the reality is simply that canadian sizes are smaller than the american ones. Japanese snack sizes look minuscule in comparison with american ones. Take out food in many places is pretty much restricted to just burgers and pizza, (compare to Japan selling oden at 7-eleven). "Healthy" food like salads is often drizzled with oily, high sodium dressings, the list goes on.
Giuliani met[1] with Andriy Derkach[2] on his 2019 Ukraine trip. Derkach is the target of a long-running US counter-intelligence operation. In September 2020 the Treasury Department sanctioned[3] Derkach for his work against American interests on behalf of Russian intelligence services. Prior to the sanction, US national security adviser Robert O’Brien personally advised President Trump that Giuliani's information should be considered tainted by Russia[4].

The other part was she overestimated the risk of covid and should have invested in an N95 respirator and brave the grocery store and seen her doctor.

That said, I'm curious how reporters find these stories. A poor diabetic who lived alone and died from diabetes complications during covid because it stopped her from eating well and getting regular blood tests is a very specific story.

Employment and salaries in journalism have dropped precipitously.
It doesn't sound like you have much experience in manufacturing.

No, you don't pull a run of hardware mid-run to rev their firmware unless there is an absolute shitstorm which would also just be handled by the manufacturing process i.e. why would you ship the "bad" cards to your office or some such scenario rather than run them again through the same at-scale manufacturing process?

Anyways, as somebody already pointed out, the vast majority of these cases would be handled by live updates.
Off topic... but damn, Windows emojis are still super ugly.

On the matter of changing guidance, I think the pandemic exposed the public's ignorance of real science.

Science is a verb, not a noun.

It's easy to forget that when it's taught as a series of facts, pre-discovered long ago. Most students are never faced with the unknown edge of science (until grad school).

Because fundamentally, usefully, that's what science really is -- a method for systematically exploring the unknown.

What that actually looks like in practice -- fits and starts, ideas and experiments and retractions, conflicting data resolution, framework guesses and confirmations and rejection -- has largely been forgotten (after ~1990, in the developed media?).

And becoming used to reporting on scientific discoveries is fine... until we're mode switched to reporting on scientific research, and neither media nor public understand the distinction.

Science is always wrong. Until it's not. And that's its strength.

>but is that really the best metric to say it won't be a catastrophe

do you have a better objective metric? Sure, "Extinction rates are multiples higher than the background rate" is a bad thing, but how does it compare to other bad things? eg. poverty increasing by 5%?
Remind me again, why did the US deployed military in Afghanistan in the first place?

I read so much about it and I still have no clue.

If they left in 2012 the Taliban would have done then what they re doing now. There's no good leader that was willing to abandon people to that fate until the public exhausted of the war as it has.

Reddit has an “anti Evil Operations” team that has in the past acted arbitrarily against individual users, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchRedditDie/comments/fkk6en/redd...

Argh, surely if we all agree that paying for journalism is a good thing, we should do what we normally do for such things - take it from taxes?
You should give a serious try to sum types, btw. They're unambiguously good, and have been in use for the last 40 years at least. To me, not having them is an immediate disqualifier for a modern static language (along with some basic form of pattern matching that goes hand in hand with them).
obviously, just like I'm talking about what you _do_ with the increase. Are you really just saying to leave the increase in value alone? Then why pursue it?

I'm under the impression that an increase in company value is not an end to itself, it's a means to an end (more investment, more dividends, higher sell-off/buy-off price, increased stock price, etc - all are more probable when company valuation increases).

So why are you looking to increase your company's value?

Well we did send a strong message about choosing one's house guests wisely. But that message was delivered a decade ago.
Look very closely at the o in "Notice" and the o in "Today"... I see that if I zoom in to the image it looks better than when I zoom out, so there is clearly some interaction going on with the video driver on my screen at 100% zoom that makes it more obvious for me. But the two o's are not the same, the o in Today is narrower, and ends up looking squared off on my screen, and the o in "Notice" looks rounder and more open.

Now I realize that for you to see it, a good zoomed photo with my phone will go a long way:

The pandemic in general? Trans-pacific shipping got completely blown up (on both ends) multiple times since Feb/March 2019.

Already while COVID was largely confined to China, supply problems were beginning to emerge, starting with China factories shutting down and internal networks (trucking) being disrupted by the pandemic and lockdowns. Everything just compounded from there. I remember reading daily posts on a supply chain subreddit talking about shipping indexes dropping daily in March.

Like honestly, it's pretty amazing that shortages aren't worse. Perhaps a testament to how much of our trade is in non-critical goods.
I was never a fan of this nor any other war, but 20 years is a long time, and despite all the bloodshed and suffering that has happened while the Americans (and soldiers from my own country) were there, that is 20 years where, amongst other things, many girls received an education that they would not otherwise have.

Things have been bad in Afghanistan since the 70's, but there were bright moments during the occupation, or what you want to call this period that is now coming to an end.

I have some personal ties to the region, and I sincerely hope things clear up somehow. Afghanistan deserves none of this.
It's pretty clearly a warning about fundamentalism. The Taliban is another warning. Don't let fundamentalism of any kind take hold.
I am not convinced that these are exceptions. By and large, corporations are run by people who see no problem with exploiting others and the more successful they are, it seems, the more willing they are to exploit. That's why we invented unions, and labor regulations, and all the other regulations for that matter and it still isn't enough to stop them from doing it.

Texaco dumped a bunch of waste in the Amazon and refused to clean it up or pay for it. Why is this not surprising to anybody? Oh, right, because we all know that this sort of thing happens all the goddamned time.

Yeah, I think part of what is so vexing about Delta is that deaths don’t create a backstop against spread. Someone with a severe or terminal case of Delta can still infect 10+ individuals before they pass.
The press has been complaining about it nonstop, so I'm not quite sure what you're talking about.

And spread the problem further? They were given many resources to improve their country and squandered it.

We know what happens when you have mass immigration from countries with low standards of living. We saw it with Gaddafi, it destabilizes regions and introduces problems with housing supply, welfare budgets and wage suppression.

I think the main take-away from this is that these "factcheckers" are just copying from a single line. In the desperate attempt to scoop up more cash, Snopes did the rewriting after posting rather than before, but as long as what you posted was identical to the NYT/WaPo line, it wouldn't be subject to any sort of examination or critique.

Anyway, aren't Snopes pages just links that Democrats post without reading as a comment under a reactionary or socialist relative's post on Facebook? Nobody is reading them, so the only thing that matters is the headline and the graphic.
Ld load path maybe? I remember this happened to me once a few years back?
When I was there that's where many would go.

I was on a screen-line with 2nd LAR mere miles from the border with Pakistan but we were not allowed to go any closer. It was explained that we have to leave a buffer so that Pakistan can be certain that the US is respecting their territory. One morning some British commandos rolled up, said hello, and left in the direction of the border. I guess they don't have the same buffer rules that we did because I heard gunfire not long after they parted.

We would spend all day searching vehicles and find nothing. The Afghans who submitted to search were very friendly but every so often, for whatever reason, groups of vehicles would turn around rather than be searched. It was open desert down there so I assume they just go wide around the screen-line and on to their destination.
Should we have kept 10,000 US soldiers on the ground permanently to prevent this? Seems like a very small cost.

Perhaps the US could have purchased land from Afghanistan, which isn't so much of a unified country anyway. They could have established permanent bases from which they could aid the Afghanistan government and project power against other regional adversaries (ie. China, Iran, and "ally" Pakistan). The monetary injection would have helped too.

There's no way this pull out doesn't look bad for the Biden administration. This is going to be a major election year topic and we're going to hear how Democrats "hate women" and freedom. What a quagmire.
Perhaps your personal welfare is strongly linked to and dependent on that of others. For example, you need roads, security, education, health care, food, electricity, communication, law, customers, vendors, employees, business partners, etc etc.
To be terse, a population has to be ready to receive a system of government for it to work. It has to be organic and can take many decades to play out.

Russia is an example. After centuries Empire and communism, they were in no way ready for democracy. Democracy may still work out some day in Russia, but not now. Also not now in Afghanistan. They need to work that out themselves.
The Taliban didn't even exist in the 1980s, and was founded partially as a response to the 1980s people fighting amongst themselves.
I don't know, nobody asked them? Hence why this error message is poorly worded.
It doesn't disprove any fact-checking articles, but, as a hypothetical example, imagine if you learned a fact-checker was convicted of writing lots of bad checks. They might be perfectly honest in other areas of their life, but it creates a lot more skepticism, since you know they're willing to be dishonest in that one case.

Plagiarism isn't necessarily as dishonest as financial fraud, but it's still a form of dishonesty and likely also intellectual laziness. Dishonesty and intellectual laziness are the opposites of what you want in a credible debunker/verifier, no matter the relevance or severity.

Absolutely, but of course "better wages and working conditions" has a time and place element to it as well. Coal mining conditions were obviously terrible in hindsight, but my impression is that they were considered "good jobs" at the time, with union protection and so on (depictions in media like October Sky notwithstanding).

In any case, it appears that the purpose of this human-powered laundry machine is not to put anyone doing laundry for pay out of work, but rather to allow some combination of doing laundry at home cheaper, faster, or with less physical strain (a crank may be more ergonomic than being bent over a tub, and your hands don't have to be in wet soapy water the whole time).

Kind of a same experience, my nana (maternal grandfather) use to sit on his front patio every day in the evenings.
