Patrilocality and son preference have nothing to do with abuse of women. Patrilocality is largely pragmatic and son preference is a symptom of population control unless the author is brave enough to claim that abortion specifically against girls is bad (I doubt that lol)
Linux is on the desktop already. From KDE to Windows, the applications, DE, and compatibility layers are there to have it how you want.
Not complicated as in "too hard for AWS to build" but complicated as in "really hard to use as someone trying to limit your spend on AWS." So the people most at risk of huge unexpected bills are also not going to be the people knowledgable enough to setup the billing cap correctly. So it would mostly be a feature for enterprises and most enterprises would rather just pay the extra $ rather than potentially turn off a critical system or accidentally delete some user data.

I worked at a company that spent ~$10m per month on AWS. We had a whole "cloud governance" team who built tools to identify both over and underutilized resources. But they STILL never cut any thing off automatically. The risk/reward ratio just wasn't there. You make the right call and shave $10k off a $10m bill every month, but the one time you take down a mission critical service, you give all of that back and then some.
Whoever wrote this article doesn't seem to understand correlation and causation, but I think some natural resources might have their foot on the scale in your example.
In what world do you live in where competent IT support for production infrastructure is cheap?
That sensationalism, my friend, is why the world is divided.

People keep screaming about climbing deaths but I am still not seeing it anywhere around me. At the entrance of the mall, everybody just sighs annoyed and puts on their mask, that's all that I observe and that's all that most of the populace observes as well.

I have seen barely any disruption except, of course, some local businesses closing down forever. The normal folk just kept going.

That's the problem with this pandemic: it became a religious war above anything else. Everyone just chose to believe a camp and went on to happily scream at the "other team" afterwards.

We need an actually informed and neutral party on these matters. A lot of the agents of this system have a vested economical interest for the lockdowns to continue -- and for people to get subjected multiple times to an experimental vaccine.

I got through Covid twice -- before the news even broke out (Dec 2019 and Jan 2020). And I wore a mask ever since and still do. But I have some heart problems and reading the same sources that you do -- about how almost healthy people died in a lot of pain after taking the vaccine -- I think I'll wait for a little bit, thank you very much.

I am not endangering anyone and I am tired of hearing that I do. No. I really don't endanger anyone. I just don't want to be an experimental lab rat and hold on to my life for a while longer.

Same goes for many others.

(And btw calling people anti-vax is super flamey. This is not what's happening here at all.)
The Asian countries have broadly diversified economies versus the countries you listed which are primarily resource exporters, so I don't think that's a meaningful comparison.
SGX is a super-privileged, encrypted, and isolated enclave in the main CPU memory that can be used for anything. Signed mouse input is much more benign. But sure, I see your point - this is DRM, and it can be used to control the access to your own mouse, even outside of online gaming.

Still, it's the most logical step, and it would probably happen in several years, after Microsoft started demanding TPM 2.0. Valorant already requires TPM to be enabled on Windows 11 to run.

By the way, A4Tech has on-device DRM for more than a decade, they are using it to stop people pirating their software. Which is, ironically, designed for cheating.
I think you're both right. Email is subpar as a protocol for sending secure messages (what you said) and should therefore be abandoned as a protocol in favor of something better, and also many of the specific arguments made in the article are quite weak (what they said).

E.g. PGP doesn't make dragnet surveillance harder?? Unless you assume that point-to-point encryption makes it entirely impossible (wrong), PGP clearly makes it much harder for anyone to read your message.
I was reading a thread on this site about the program and there was speculation that since these IPs are mothballed, lots of people use the address range for internal networks, particularly in China, and potentially this experiment was to get lots of networks worldwide to accidentally leak internal network traffic to the pentagon. Who knows what this thing was, but that sounds like something a government would do.
I honestly don't think giving my parent who didn't know jack about computers Windows and telling them to figure it out would be a necessarily pleasant alternative either.

How about we show some compassion and take time to help people around things, especially when they are people we care about and things we care about as well?
This may turn out to be another EMDrive. But the implications of this claim being true are too great to ignore and warrants further investigation.

I wonder what it would take in terms of expense/equipment to do an independent verification.

Companies are not buying machines this way, but through resellers with drastically different pricing models (even CDNow). Outside of Office 365, I have never paid more than 50-75% MSRP for a Microsoft product using a corp reseller account, including SQL Server licenses.

Murder is a serious offense. Killing is a serious act. But removing a heretic, however, one of fierce barabarity and animal savagery, one who spreads poison everywhere it goes, brings great celebration and joy to all humanity.

Kill them. Kill them all. Kill them to the very last man. Kill their men, women, and children. Kill their unborned yet to leave the womb. Kill them on the battlefield. Kill them in their homes.

Injustice, victimhood, sympathy, charisma and celebrity means nothing. Have some clarity. It's easy. Anyone who says different is a crook vying for power. Don't listen to them. When we are humiliated or horribly injured, can't contain their happiness, and can't keep them away.

Be blatant about it. Don't try to hide it. You are not fooling anyone. Don't sidequest on keeping them alive. That only validates their cynical superstiton. Let them talk far and wide about what a horrible person I am. I want them to know the full consequences of their actions.

In the past 20 years, no terror attacks. Bin Laden, dead. Zarqawi, dead. Baghdadi, dead. Saddam, dead. Their sons, dead. Qaddaffi, dead. Mubarak, dead. Morsi, dead. Those people died as the porcupine is quiled and the eagle who cares nothing for a storm is feathered. In the past 20 years, we've wielded hypersonic weapons, ballistic lasers, cyber weapons and military branch for outer space. All stem from a culture that retires weapons to the field, that reduces enemies, not creates them, that limits the violence and seeks not to add to it. Life is truly there for you and me to live it. We are not there for the lives of others.

Everyone else, the amoral criminals and ignorant heathens, do everything they can to return humans back to the mud and jungle. Our advancements and civilizations are only there for them to gamify and laugh it, like we are the fools and cowards and children. Imitation. Repetition. Theft. Slavery. Grinding up the lives of others like it was their's to begin with. Their threat hangs off their disgusting culture like decaying morbidity hangs off the rotting dead.

Oh, the world and what it could be if only they were not in it!!!!

Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill them all.

KILL THEM!!!
I remember reading an article about censorship in China, someone talking to his friend on the phone mentioned a particular term that the government didn't like, and the line got disconnected a second later. Was it a coincidence, or was someone listening, or was it computers?

Nowadays most of our communication channels are owned by corporations. Are you okay that they get to decide what we're allowed to talk about? Zoom for example banned meetings talking about the Tiananmen Square massacre; You can't post links to The Pirate Bay in private chats on Facebook... on private chat!

And this coming from me who's quite okay with Twitter banning Trump and other idiots off their platform.

Even if that's true, isn't that an even more damning statement about him as a president? That he wasn't even in control?

You are not the only person; it's miserable.

Let me add (3), the editor interface, possibly the most infuriatingly bad software I've had to use (for work) in the last few years. And I am routinely exposed to awful software.
Here's an anecdote. I left because Microsoft was being weird about long term remote plans and I wanted to actually be able to plan ahead.

They lost me because they couldn't give me a straight answer if I can continue working there if I went fully remote or not.
One size does not fit all. If you are more productive without syntax highlighting, by all means, disable it.

When I first started to program, I found syntax highlighting annoying and distracting, but I changed my mind within a year or so. So I have tried both sides and made my choice.

I also think that the usefulness of syntax highlighting depends a lot on what language you are using. For example, I found it very helpful when working with Perl, but nearly pointless when writing SQL. Like I said, one size does not fit all.
Coordinating individual action is rarely ever the solution. Especially something challenging like weightloss.
I wouldn’t call a 3.5% win, in Texas of all places, a tendency towards trending blue. You seem to be ignoring where most of the population in Texas is based.

How they treated the ordinary person (man or woman) is the true canary.
archive.org obeys the robots.txt exclusion but archive.today doesn't. This means that many websites(like 4chan) cannot be archived with archive.org.
Wouldn't it be cheaper for salesforce to reimburse their employees for birth control?
No. 0.2% of today's co2 is reduced with this approach, given that _all_ obese lose 10kg each, according to the article. This simply won't happen, and if it would, it would have a neglible effect.

Keep the carbon in the ground instead using other methods, and capture what you can to return safety to the geosphere.
FB can ban whoever they want as long as it is not a protected class.

FB can ban you because you like to eat broccoli or for whatever any reason.

Many people support this idea during trump's ban. So you will just need to suck it up.
They also have extremely authoritarian forms of government. It’s easy to be stable when you can lock up anyone who’s causing trouble (at least in the short term).
Especially any group that represents a huge percentage of the population.
Phony diagnoses hide high rates of drugging at nursing homes
I do not consider that strange. It might be a side effect, but it is very useful, indeed.
> do you seriously think there's someone sitting at facebook taking names and making lists about a social network that practically nobody even uses

Yes, when I worked at a 500-person startup there was an employee who’s sole task was to stay aware of our established competitors and nimbler startups. It was jokingly nicknamed the “office of paranoia.”

That said, I highly doubt FB is using their list of competitors to block posts mentioning them.
Additionally, in the 2000s we had IE-only webapps, meaning that when companies only cared about Windows clients, they still thought making webapp was a better way to reach their customers than a Win32 app.
> So you pull that tube over yourself and then cover the top with the sleeping bag?

Yep. Ghetto AF. That's why the chair is there to elevate the sleeping bag - otherwise I wouldn't be able to reach the sleeping bag from inside the tube.

> No worries about air circulation or passing out?

Circulation is fine. It's far from airtight - air creeps in from the bottom through the cracks, and I can always just open a small hole in the "ceiling" if needed. Never done it though cause it doesn't get stuffy. Haven't passed out, though that would be seriously dangerous since the heating element is exposed and I'd likely be burned.

> Is it pitch black in there?

Yes, so that's why there's a nightlight on an extension cable in the pic. Also a flashlight on my phone.
Representation within leadership can result in more equitable outcomes for less advantaged groups.
Equality in poverty, the Communist ethos (except for the elites of the ruling party, of course).
I've been doing a lot of reading, sitting here at this desk for the past year.

But the best way for me is to be presented with a problem to solve. I've learned how Cesium Beam atomic clocks work by fixing them, same with Magnetic Amplifiers, etc.

Small projects work best for me.

Especially if you include the fact that something can't be done.... that one really frosts my cookies.

I really like doing impossible things.
Networking? Interactions person to person can achieve you promotions if you know how to move.
You are missing that Software Tools was written for a popular audience, more or less. The Pascal edition was written because people were using Pascal and wanted it. Nobody was asking for a Modula-2 edition.

why would it be brave? Firing people is ok. Firing people for being of particular gender is bad.
That Broadcom CPU was literally designed as a Set Top Box CPU, at least for Pi 1 and 2. That's why the GPU is in control of the CPU.

Whether or not that growth is stable and entirely above board is an open matter of speculation here on a monthly basis.
I was a maths student and in the small programming part of the course, a friend of mine ran out of single-letter variable names and so started going through names of the lecturers he interacted with or random words like “dog” or “cat.”
I can sympathize with this, given that truly high-functioning, collaborative work environments are anything but ubiquitous, but I think that these kinds of environments are still the ideal, however rare and difficult to achieve they are. I’ve only worked for two orgs that really got it right, and they were far and away the best work experiences I’ve had. I can’t imagine those orgs being able to thrive in a completely remote environment (I know factually that one has big attrition problems since COVID hit).

The problem is that it takes a lot of effort and attention from all levels of the company to really get it right. You also need a commitment to subsidiarity and shared vision, which most companies actively disincentivize, despite rhetoric to the contrary.

EDIT: wording, typos, formatting.
Actually, it's totally accurate. And I respectfully disagree with your opinion ;)
Ah yes the monetisation. That's always been a problem on the internet.

Yes you can reach millions of people but not earn a single €. Many such cases! Newspapers almost went broke because of the digital future until they decided to do something completely anti web 2.0: PAYWALL IT. And it worked newspapers were saved.
I thought that back in June, when Covid cases were heading down to a reasonable level. Today, not so much.

You are right though, WFH is not sustainable for many. Many folks are burnt out.
Don't you also need to pay for a domain name?
An interesting point of comparison here is git, which is also widely claimed to have subpar UX.
The common cold is caused by dozens of different viruses (including at least 4 coronaviruses). Gaining immunity to one of those cold viruses doesn't do much to protect against the others.

“ Our results show that firm-wide remote work caused the collaboration network of workers to become more static and siloed, with fewer bridges between disparate parts. Furthermore, there was a decrease in synchronous communication and an increase in asynchronous communication. Together, these effects may make it harder for employees to acquire and share new information across the network.”

So less interruptions and more asynchronous work. That’s awesome! But it’s framed as a negative outcome.

Do we really think that a company fully geared up for in-office work for over 100,000 employees in the USA alone would produce an impartial report on the effects of remote work?
Wheat: Drought Threatens Production, Supply Concerns
Publishing provably false statements or reports with intent to deceive (or even just gross negligence) falls pretty squarely under the definition of misinformation. This isn’t very controversial, except among nut cases.
If the authors of other websites link to it. But how do they discover it?
I see past syntax highlighting for the most part- until I need it and then I don't. I don't understand a lot of this "convenience is a crutch" rhetoric around programming. Yes, it's a crutch, but for many of us, maybe even most, it enables us to work on the stuff that matters with more ease.

> I hadn't seen the ELT stuff before, and a quick and lazy google didn't turn up a good debunking. Anyone have anything about ELTs being picked up @ 8:44 AM and ~8:59 AM?

I only did a quick search. Found this transcript where someone mentions they saw a brief ELT blip on 121.5MHz: http://web.archive.org/web/20210718083443/https://www.nytime...

A quick read of the ELT description ( https://www.aopa.org/advocacy/aircraft/aircraft-operations/e... ) shows that the 121.5MHz ELTs are associated with a high number of false triggers:

> In 2009, the international COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system discontinued satellite-based monitoring of the 121.5/243 MHz frequencies, in part because of a high number of false signals attributed with these frequencies.

Apparently the earliest 121.5MHz ELTs had a ridiculously high false trigger rate of 97 percent, which explains why they were deprecated:

> Historically, these ELT’s have experienced an activation rate of less than 25 percent in actual crashes and a 97 percent false-alarm rate.

So if false triggers were a known issue and the ELT signal was only seen extremely briefly, it's more likely someone taking a common occurrence out of context.
Yup. The presentation (and the paper) are very light on math, argue by analogies and dismissive about USPTO's rather reasonable policy to discard inventions contradicting 2nd law of thermodynamics. The author is undoubtedly a technical person but gives off the vibe of someone trying to casually wing it into quantum physics.

Since am not a physicist myself I could well be proven wrong tho. In that case this reply gotta end up infamous!
South Africa is a rich nation with high inequality and extremely high unemployment. Under utilization doesn't seem to make nations poor as long as they can export in-demand products.

My point is that there is a huge difference between people being poor and nations being poor.

The historian Eric Hobsbawm once wrote that the 19th century didn't end until the cataclysm of 1914, and that the 20th finished early with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989. I think 1990-2001 was an innocent decade and the 21st century started on 9/11.
It seems like a natural consequence of the financialization of US society; even crime is mostly viewed in terms of harms to shareholders.

From my experience, often being the only remote on the team...frankly, because you're generally forgotten about quite often. You aren't as chummy with your direct, you don't do lunch together, small gifts/favors, etc.

I don't mean that as a suckup or anything, just things people generally do with one another. If you have two equal performers, and one came to your wedding, gave you a jump, etc....and the other you often forget exists, the choice is quite natural. And I don't find any fault in that or hold any bitterness, it's human nature.

Also, you see your direct's boss in the cafeteria, or hallway, get to chatting, etc. I'd never just ping him or her on Slack to chat, for example.

Then again, I'm only speaking from experience at where I've been. I'm sure others are more strict about meritocracy, perhaps.
We’ve spent billions in all Western countries telling people to do exercise against obesity and cancer. But they chose complete lockdowns then turning lockdowns, day on/day off.

They supposedly cared for my immediate health (Covid) by sacrificing my long-term health (obesity, asthma due to lockdowns), but also loss of friends (bad for health) and social isolation (demonstrably increases the chances of suicide and cancer, but hey, not immediately). Bad for immediate health, ie suicide attempt in April last year.

If they were true Socialists, they would never ever EVER lock us down or socially-isolate us. This was the biggest terrorist attack of all times.
I'm with aoleinik. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away, I had a stand-alone blog that--to put it bluntly--no one visited.

Today I put the same type of content on Medium and get thousands of readers on almost each and every article. So much, in fact, that I've consistently been in the top 1,000 creators on Medium several months running.

Yes, I understand that I'm simply part of their platform. but that's the same for anyone who attempts to create monetized content on Medium, YouTube, Twitch, or any of the many other platforms that pay creators for content.

As far as I can tell, articles and sites like the one above exist because some people simply believe that they should never have to pay for content, and that everything should be free.

Fair enough. And, that being the case, those people are never going to see my work. Also fair.

But Medium drives enough people to my content to make the exchange work for me. Plus it provides enough incentive to get me off my butt and create things that I probably won't have created otherwise.

If anyone who reads this doesn't like Medium. Fine. If you want to go elsewhere... also fine.

But thus far, the value proposition works for me, and it apparently also works for all of the people who read my articles and stories and tutorials each and every day.

To them, thanks.
