People in positions of authority need to be careful with their words. They might not be intentionally misleading, but it is possible that they make a remark without thinking it through and others end up believing.

It happened to me. The CTO of the company I worked for moved to another company and recruited a bunch of us from his previous job. He made tall promises, none of which worked out. We were annoyed at the time, but I now realize he didn't intentionally mislead us - he was just overly optimistic about his abilities and his own faith in the new company he joined. It was a disaster for everyone he recruited from his previous job.

All employees at a startup carry substantial risk. If you're working as a customer service rep at a startup which folds, you in all likelihood don't have the connections or financial stability that the founders and software engineers and data scientists and scrum masters have to gracefully transition to another job. If you're planning on having a kid, losing your job 3 weeks before you expected to be able to take paid parental leave is going to really throw a wrench in the works. &c &c

>Other bitcoin alternatives have been less successful at limiting their environmental footprint. Chia, a cryptocurrency that is built on a “proof of time and space” algorithm, has been accused of leading to shortages in hard drives and SSDs, a type of storage medium popular in fast computers. “Instead of just wasting electricity, Chia chews through SSDs at a fantastic rate and also has thoroughly wrecked the market for big HDs,” said David Gerard, a cryptocurrency expert.

This part is at least disingenuous. The real movement away from PoW is in PoS coins but all they say is that it 'ha[s] been less successful' citing the worst that has come out and from a small project at that, and mentioning ETH's slow move to it as if there aren't other projects already using it.

Mailchimp enables "marketing mails", since they have the IP addresses which will not be rejected no matter what they send.

This is power, and they market it: Send an email yourself and you may be shut down, send through us and worse case scenario you will have to create a new account to continue.

At the moment their IPs are more bulletproof then their competitors. But that is all they are selling - the ability to push through spam for others.
As someone who lived through the cold war, I can tell you the Soviet Union never looked "better".

Maybe I was just the one crazy person who thought the Soviet lifestyle and society was dreary, but I don't think I was. If you think the soviets looked better, you're likely looking at the past through rose colored glasses. Most people would have done anything they could to avoid living that "better" soviet life.

We'll have to disagree on that one. If the energy companies won't invest in the greener solution, I don't see how people consuming that energy can be blamed.

As much as I hate miners, blaming them for the disaster that is the energy industry is wrong.
I grew up in France and the Amstrad was king (same in Spain I believe), the C64 a very very distant second, and nobody had ever seen a Spectrum (thankfully, if I may add : the C64 was special and in spite of its terrible palette deserves all the praise it gets. The Spectrum is a mediocre and incredibly overrated machine compared to the others. It was decent and affordable in 1982, but by 1984 both the C64 and Amstrad CPC were wiping the floor with it, and there was no longer a rational reason to prefer it. A bizarre love affair the UK has had with this machine...)

There are just 100 people who can actually use this feature. And it's limited to iOS and the USA it seems. Calling it dead with such limitations and in such a short timeframe is pretty ignorant.

Not total unrestricted, with excemptions like CP, but my default is also just not look at content I find disturbing.

I'm no fan of political power in Russia (my home country) or anywhere else in the world, but come on with this double-standard bullshit.

Every country does exactly the same thing. Just look at how much suppression of "alternative voices" happens in real time all over the world and what apps were banned, accounts closed etc. Jan 6 was painted as bad as 9/11, ffs. It may be staged differently so it's not the "government" directly steps onto your 1st amendment, but "private biz", but who are we kidding. When there are forbidden topics and forbidden people, it's the outcomes that matter, not specific mechanisms.

Google and Apple are collaborating with all governments, and all governments are abusing their powers in someone's own interests, so calling for "pulling out" of a "misbehaving country" makes as much sense as asking for rain to drop upwards.

I'd better explore how people could reduce their dependence on any giant corporation, regardless of it being a business or a government, from West or East.
Reduced?

On the one hand, things like social media make “blowing off steam in private with your mates” basically indistinguishable from what used to be “going out of your way to send a letter to someone to harass or threaten them”. I don’t think that’s a reduction, so much as the system not accounting for the changes wrought by tech (see also: Robin Hood Airport trial).

On the other: while I expect anyone known to more than 1000 people to have other people sounding off about them — and while I expect anyone known to 100k Americans to have indistinguishable-from-plausible threats from gun owners who gained those guns despite specific delusional mental states that ought to have excluded them from gun ownership — Jan 6th had more than just that: it had the extra level of demonstrating that there were a lot of people who were not merely performatively angry FirstnameBunchOfNumbers internet accounts but real people with the means and motivation to travel to DC and to force their way into the Capitol building and private offices therein, to bring Molotovs and pipe bombs with them to DC, to not merely chant “hang Mike Pence” but to do so when someone had set up a gallows (or vice versa, timeline unclear for me).
It would be great if some front-end developer can chime in to tell us which frameworks are worth trying besides Bootstrap (Tailwind?), or it is all yak shaving. Currently I only reach to another framework if:

- I want a MVP without classes (like Picnic.css)

Otherwise I pay a premium theme or create one myself.

I'm not sure I agree with your example. It seems to me it is the exact same as a "Top ten drinks to drink on a rainy day" list. There's simply too many good albums and opinions differ, so a top ten would -just like the drinks- end up being a list of the most popular ones with maybe one the author picks to stir some controversy or discussion. In my opinion the world would be a smarter place if Google ranked all such sites low. Then we might at least get fluff like "Top ten prog rock albums if you love X, hate Y and listen to Z when no one is around" instead.

> Pull out of the countries then.

Then why Apple hasn't pulled out of China? Like 2 decades ago? China was always a brutal dictatorship. Why would they pull out of anything? These company profit from bloody dictatorships, like the rest of the western economy. But somehow when it's about Russia it's a problem? The hypocrisy in the west must stop. The west and it's industry never stood for freedom abroad since it decided that business is more important than democracy in the rest of the world, basically when the west accepted China in the WTO.

> Participating in dictatorship is barely better than refusing to do so if that dictatorship will falsely imprison your employees.

Tell that to Apple in China, a country that is literally using slave workforce from concentration camps. But Russia is where people here start being outraged?
You might as well ignore private companies altogether then, as the total compensation will be much less than public ones without equity factored in.
Our largest competitor, who had 10x our revenue, got bought about 6 years ago by some huge international behemoth, which of course ran it into the ground over the course of a few years.

Great for us, as we got almost all of their customers.

I recently heard the story of how that happened. The original founders had no intention of selling out, and had signed a deal with the others that unless they were offered a well-defined but ridiculously high price, that the original founders could buy back the shares to take back control.

Well, the multinational company offered the ridiculously high price, and the original founders had no chance to make a higher offer. So they lost "their baby", which is now just a pale shadow of what it once was.

The founders got a lot of money of course, so not a sob story.
This is shadier than it seems. The opposition organization FBK (ФБК) was just called out as "extremists," and with this government decision, they wrote mails to Google and Apple to block "extremists."

Or, you could notice that we're the only ones that care. "Reduction", "destruction" are terms meaningful to us and us only, because we're also capable of appreciating the ecosystem as its own thing.

If the planet's biosphere is a super-organism, then we are its brain cells.

The two most common usages of “college” in UK education are:

- pre-university education for 16-18 year olds. This is where you complete qualifications for university entry, such as A Levels, Scottish Highers, or the IB, as well as more vocationally aligned qualifications like BTEC or NVQ. This stage of education used to be optional but recently became compulsory.
- institutions within a larger university umbrella. This includes the colleges of Oxford, Cambridge and Durham. For example, Jesus College of the University of Oxford or Magdalene College of the University of Cambridge. Very few UK universities use a college system, it is mostly a historical legacy seen in very old universities.

Another reply mentions Imperial College London: many of the London universities are colleges of the University of London, but I think this system is mostly so they can share/issue one University of London degree, and that they don’t have the same degree of centralised administration that the Oxbridge college system does.

EDIT: updated to reflect that A levels aren’t the only pre-university qualification in the UK

Because there are more types of vaccines underway: the mRNA (Pfizer, Moderna) which are studied for the last 30 years including for Sars-cov-1, the vector vaccines with modified viri (J&J, AstraZeneca) used since 2013 against Ebola, and even the subunit vaccines like Novavax which are not approved yet for covid but used successfully for hepatitis B or pertussis. So which one is the experimental one? And why not taking another type?
