It's not the same, but it's probably the closest thing, because European liberals are advocates of less taxes, less government regulation and intervention, less welfare state, and in general oppose any kind of socialism and Keynesian economic policies. It's quite opposite of what 'liberals' in the US advocate for, when it comes to government role and economic policies.

'Liberalism' as used when refering to Democratic Party policies in the US, is generally refered as social democracy or social liberalism in Europe.

I’ll counter with a question: do you tip when you buy a new laptop? At the grocery store when buying milk? If so, how much? If not, why not?

As a customer, I want to know the real costs ahead of time.

As an employee (last received tips some 30 years ago, but still…) I would like to get paid for the work I did, not that 50% of my pay would be contingent on how authentic I can make my fake smile look on a stressful day.

I usually tip 20% wherever I am because I am too lazy to figure out the local culture and because I can afford to; but I seriously hate it.

Visiting Germany 15 years ago was a bliss in this respect - the expectation was to round up to the nearest euro, if any tip at all. But I understand that now, at least in Berlin, 10%-20% tip has become the norm.

Yes in Sweden I did it in 1990 even though I grew up in an evironment were being homosexual was normal. Still being gay was not cool in society, and they were gravely mistreated. We still have a long way to go.
> The root cause was determined to be an undue triggering of the rudder order COM/MON monitoring concomitantly in the 3 FCPC. At the time of the aircraft lateral control flight law switching to lateral ground law at touch down, the combination of a high COM/MON channels asynchronism and the pilot pedal inputs resulted in the rudder order difference between the two channels to exceed the monitoring threshold. The FCPC1 failed first.

In lay-programmers terms, this sounds like a race condition. Is that correct?

People don't live in a vacuum. The first advice is simple but in the real life easily will spiral into "fight all the time against the partner that insists into overfeeding you" or "move to a less contaminated area free of substances mimicking hormones" or "drive more time to reach a better restaurant near the workplace and now you have five minutes left to eat".

"Spend less money than you make" can translate sometimes into "don't search for medical advice that you need right now and fall for scammers that offer cheaper fake solutions"

I'm not saying that those were not good advice but, well, sometimes things get complicated.
The dirty open secret about development is that in highly developed countries with low inequality, human labor is just horrendously expensive, and since dining out has costs dominated by human labor, even relatively wealthy people dine out rarely.

Ask the Swiss or Danes. Cooks can have a living wage, but fancy meals are comparatively much more expensive than their equivalents in the US, given their lack access to underpaid immigrants for that kind of work.
Why would you want to read things that don't change your brain chemistry?
Yeah that is a possible solution, but still not quite what vcpkg, conan and distribution repositories offer, or having COM/Windows Runtime libraries.

I look forward when cargo offers that as an option, doesn't mean everyone has to offer their libraries that way, just having the possibility on crates.io would be nice.

I am also very thankful for what has been achieved thus far, so don't take this as thankless complaint rather as I would like Rust one day to be.
Definitely, YugabyteDB falls into the second category. Tables are split into so called tablets. This splitting can be controlled by choosing the hashing algorithm for the primary key (or transparent row key hash, if no primary key for a table exists). Each tablet is replicated and has its own raft group. Different tables can have different replication factors, the number of tablets to split the table into can be selected and modified.

YugabyteDB recently added support for table spaces on steroids where table spaces are allocated to physical nodes in the cluster. This enables geo-replication features where tables or rows can be placed within selected geo locations.

All the data shifting is done transparently by the database.
There are filesystems (eg. ZFS, BtrFS) which can detect and recover from hardware degradation. NTFS cannot, therefore the problem is NTFS-related, although not limited to NTFS.

Speaking as a meditation guy, reality comes down to sensation.

I mean, this stream of sensations : Sights, sounds, tastes, feelings - and yes, thoughts.

No, thought does not get a special role here. Except in that we consider it to be special. And we use it to map, narrate and explain everything. We really like "meaning".

We use thoughts like this. We associate this thought with that sight (ex "that looks like a horse"), or this thought with that smell (ex "smells like cookies"), or this thought with this other thought (ex "it logically follows..."). I mean we assign meaning. We map stuff.

But no, thought is not inherently special. It's just one more grape on the perceptual vine.

And all those perceptual/sensational/experience-things are all equally real, as far as I can tell.

You must want to live in a frigid world bereft of human connection.

I recently went to a place that had no welcome/front end staff, just workers making a product (desserts) and a two kiosks at the front to take your order.

The kiosks interface was poorly made and confusing for a first time person. Worse, there was no sign telling me to step forward and order using the computer nor was there any sort of line to know who had already ordered and who were waiting to order. Over all it was a terrible experience and as such I don't plan on going back.

To be fair although, the entire existence of a free tier is to draw in people to premium, usually funded by VCs demanding an exponential growth curve. If they were bootstrapped, the free tier is pretty much non-existant in practice.
>As to purchasing a competitor: Sure, if you're purchasing it because it adds to your capabilities then it seems fairly straightforward. That's not what we see here. Here, we have an example of purchasing them when, at this stage, Google saw little or no value in it except as a means to limit competition.

You're interpreting the email screenshots incorrectly. I think you need to carefully re-read them and mentally note that there are _2_ different people expressing 2 different opinions: Jeff Huber & [redacted].

- Jeff Huber (Google Ads team): he initially brings up the question about a Youtube acquisition and sees them as additive to Google because he sees their team iterating on new features faster. He perceives the Youtube team as a "passionate" bunch. He also sees value in getting Youtube's assets and existing deals if Google buys them. Jeff sees synergy with buying them because he predicts that Youtube will eventually need a more scalable backend (think of Google's big datacenters) -- and monetization... and as a convenient coincidence... Jeff is in the ads team.

- [redacted] (Google Video team): he pushes back because he thinks his Google Video team will eventually build the same Youtube features anyway by 4th quarter. He's the one who wrote Google acquisition of Youtube purchase would be "defensive".

You're giving too much weight to one person's opinion ([redacted]). However, PC is not the ultimate decision maker for Google to buy Youtube.

Maybe we can use some common sense about [redacted]'s perspective. If [redacted] were to wholeheartedly agree with Jeff Huber, that would mean.... he's admitting that he & his team are not competing as well as those Youtube guys. So it would be understandable human nature for him to think the Youtube acquisition would accomplish nothing but take them away from Yahoo.

It looks like Jeff Huber (and later Susan Wojcicki) championed buying Youtube because of the value there. It seems that [redacted]'s opinion was discounted or ignored. You don't have war meetings about the risks of fighting the multi-million dollar lawsuit with Viacom as a consequence of buying Youtube, and then subsidizing Youtube's money-losing business for years if you saw no value in them.
This is good analysis of the OCI Runtime Spec. I think people should read the specs from time to time, it can be really helpful.
Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all others that has been tried.

Competent kings are great, but then we have to figure out how to get rid of them before they go literally crazy, or before their incompetent children mess everything up.

Honestly, the main issue today just is the same issue that has plagued democracies for centuries. Misinformation and demagogues.

People like kings and authoritarians. People like breaking the rules as long as it supports their side. Caesar can march over the Rubicon in gross violation of law and become a national hero (and emperor)

This has been known for thousands of years. Republics die because the people get tired of it and give up for a king or dictator or Caesar.

I think a lot of people want to overthink the hell out of financial use cases and come up with a million reasons why bitcoin etc can't do X and can't do Y. This holiday weekend is a great example of a use case crypto absolutely crushes.

Complex systems and aerospace particularly are dominated by little things. Failure or near misses are never single cause, those are all designed for. When fails to happen it is almost always a conspiracy of serval things out put together any one of which would have mostly prevented the incident.

> Maybe we need buffet-style restaurants that serve nutritious perishable food without all the extra plating, waters, and other frivolities so people can bask in being served and pretend they are aristocracy.

Aside from buffet-style, casual, fast-casual, fast-food, and street food outlets fit in the “prepared food without, or without as much of, the frivolity that simulates aristocracy”. It’s not exactly an underserved space.
This is what happens in countries with higher labour costs, and it's basically just fine -- provided your core cultural experience doesn't drive you to expect a separate staff person to fill your water cup every time you set it down of course.
You answered your own points! Prol buzz cuts, and luxury hair salons. Eventually automation might step in.

If Khrushchyovkas are ugly but efficient apartments, then let's call the hair style a "Khru cut" hee hee hee.
Maybe? Maybe not. I'm not certain that restaurant owners know to the penny what people will or won't pay for this or that on a menu. It depends a lot on how cost conscious the customers are and other factors.

Try bumping up the wages and advertising the fact that you do pay a living wage, that might have some impact. My fiance and I try to choose restaurants that are locally owned and are known to treat staff well. (We have friends in food service, locally. Word gets around.) I doubt we're unique in this.

It does depend a lot on location and other factors - you're going to find more people willing to spend more in some areas than others. Other people are perfectly happy to go to restaurant X knowing they fuck over workers but have the cheapest menu.
Another way to put the same observation is that, given the choice, people will sacrifice a little bit of income in order to avoid working a crappy job.
If that's what is meant, it's sure as heck misleading to single out NTFS with "known for corrupting data" as if it's somehow unique in not having error correction compared to ext4 or whatever.
> If all the cooks, servers, cosmetologists, janitors, lawn care / landscaping, delivery drivers, warehouse workers and so forth stopped doing their jobs... everything would suck real quickly.

I think you're mixing jobs together that really aren't of similar importance. If all the restaurants shut down, nothing much happens. People buy food at the super market for lunch and dinner. If all the landscaping crews stop working, you'll get more natural growth and some trees will at some point reach into the street / path and become annoying. If the cosmetologists go on strike, you get some annoyed women who need to fill their afternoon time with another activity.

If ware house workers, delivery drivers or garbage collectors strike, shit goes south pretty quickly. I've lived in a major Northern European city during a garbage collector strike, and it was silly to look at because it was pretty obvious who'd win when the trash bags started spilling into the road after people kept piling them up.

> Worst case sea level rise estimates easily gives New Orleans 300+ more yrs, likely much longer, a time frame longer than the current age of the city.

Your argument depends on this but you give neither numbers nor citations, so it's unsubstantiated and we have no idea how true it is. Numbers I've seen, that are bad, but not worst case are 6' by the end of the century and 20'-60' over longer timescales. I seriously doubt New Orleans will be just fine through that. Many coastal cities will have to move. It's not practical to wall in all of the coast to that extent. Many cities would end up being islands.
There are plenty of barbershops in my area which charge $50 for a haircut but there are many more that charge $18. Having been to a selection of both the difference is mostly the level of interior decoration and not the quality of the haircut. The choice being between a $50 haircut and having your girlfriend do it at home is a false one.
It's hard to take this seriously when it takes liberties with the facts to push a narrative.

>That is why America’s pellagra outbreak was unusual. Americans knew what nixtamalization was. [...]

So the narrative in the article seems to be: "the elites in the us knew what was causing Pellagra, but they didn't bother solving it because it suited them.". This seems to be contradicted by the wikipedia article on pellagra[1] and its cited work[2]:

>In 1914, the commonly held opinion was that pellagra was an infectious and communicable disease [...]

>The year was 1921; it was 7 years since Goldberger had started his pellagra research.He now began in earnest to study the pellagra-preventive action of various foods and to identify the specific nutritional deficiency that was etiologic for pellagra [...] By 1926, on the basis of animal experiments, Goldberger and his colleagues concluded that P-Pfactor was the heat-resistant part of “water soluble vitamin B.”

From what I read, that was the very first time the NWS had every issued a Flash Flood warning for NYC. Seems like that might have earned it a little more attention.

This reminds me of the people complaining about how destructive the floods in Houston were after Harvey. Nevermind that the forecasts for days leading up to it were 40" of rain. What part of 40" of rain sounds like no big deal?

Their problem, a lot of fellow queer people rollerblade and they have a hell of a time.

It's actually extremely funny how homophobes will stop having fun specifically because something gets coded as queer. Like they're deliberately cutting off their nose to spite their face.
Great questions!

> How does the website possibly detect that I'm on a cellular network when I'm a) use Firefox (which doesn't implement the NetworkInformation API) and b) use a VPN to either a data center or my home server?

Yep. An IP lookup is also done to see which AS the user is on. Eg an AWS IP vs a T-Mobile IP.

We also do this to detect when people tether, as when tethering Chrome will report a Wi-Fi connection via the NetworkInforamtion API but it's Wi-Fi on top of an underlying cellular connection.

> There's also the massive privacy issue: other people will know what websites you visit by simply using the P2P system

All cached data is both fragmented and encrypted. When a node sends data to another peer, it's an encrypted fragment of a file and the sender doesn't know 1) what data it's sending nor 2) which website that data is being sent for.

Edit: Oops, I made this all about me, when what matters more is regulation that helps prevent this sort of nutritional abuse and exploitation. See also what England did to Ireland, taking land and selling off the good produce and leaving the Irish to subsist on potatoes, leading to famines.

Original post: I read about this awhile back and have since stopped buying cornmeal (not that I’m at much risk of pellagra), instead buying masa. With the cornmeal I had I soaked it days in baking soda water, which turned some of the bits a lovely orange and made the polenta taste even better. I rinsed it well enough, not too concerned since I then added some of the semi-nixtamalized corn to my sourdough, as I usually add baking soda to cut the acid (I take a lazy route and make flatbread/pancakes using mostly starter) and salt is added as a result.

It feels like we’re churning too fast along the tech tree, losing healthy practices in the process. I’m not a luddite, I just don’t like waste and exploitation. I stopped playing the Civilization series in part because of how little attention is paid to supporting a healthy ecosystem based on reciprocity (see book Braiding Sweetgrass). One of the stories in The Overstory is about such a game. The game I enjoy instead is growing food, along with improving the diversity of life in and around the nearby soil.
I'm not arguing the economics work out given today's prices and all sorts of disequilibria. I'm just saying everyone cooking is ipso facto inefficient, so they has to be some context in which communal eating is economic.

If that is buffet-style and a hefty land value tax to stop landlords from milking the restaurant, so be it.
At what point does this just become C++ with less library support?
> Their politics on racial issues aren’t the same as before the Civil Rights realignment

Residential zoning in the US came out of racism. Restrict multi-family zoning to keep black people out of white neighborhoods. Then use that to create separate school districts for rich suburban white kids and poor urban black kids and maintain de facto segregation after de jure segregation was made unconstitutional.

Predominantly Democrats control the high population density areas where these policies are relevant and it's still ongoing.

Today Democrats promote the construction of abortion clinics and subsidizing the procedure. Before they promoted the construction of abortion clinics for the explicitly stated purpose of encouraging black women to get abortions. It's a changed in the stated justification but it's not actually a policy change.

I think at this point a lot of modern Democrats don't even realize what the intended purpose of these policies was, because they don't like to talk about that for obvious reasons, but they're still the party's policies.
