Bike thieves aren't bike mechanics and modern hardware has chips that could fail to perform their task or even brick themselves. It could fail to charge or stop charging at 10% it could spin up the motor but inadequately. It could appear to start but gradually turn off for no reason 10 minutes later leaving it in all instances a safe expensive human powered bike.

It could broadcast I'm a stolen bike with cords with the electrical pathway to the transmitter being also wired to something else more vital.

You could pass an encoded unique to device signal over the rest of the system with chips elsewhere expecting that signal and noping out if they don't get it to foil rewiring.

You could require a periodic modifier received over the air encoded in chip2 .. chip n but not available in chip 1 like a series of codes for your key fob to unlock your car.

You could absolutely make it as hard to defeat as defusing a bomb and lunatics who wave glass bottles are no longer stealing your bikes.

This has got to be 90% of the problem.

Can you repeat that using some of sock accounts?

It would appear more convincing if coming from puppets too. :)
There were no Sweden-specific cirumstances that mattered. The belief that Sweden is somehow uniquely special or that it can only be compared to its neighbours is a tired, unconvincing talking point that must surely come mostly from people who have never actually been there.

Swedes are normal Europeans who live in normal cities in a normal western country, and the virus is tiny. To the extent Sweden is "different" to its neighbours it's only in things like the proportion of non-Swedes who live there, which it seems inherently raises their numbers relative to their more anti-immigration neighbours (given that COVID seems to hurt African immigrants more in all regions of the world including the USA).

"obviously the academics and public policy experts have not stopped talking about Sweden (and the verdict is not even close to rendered), but since they are doing so out of the public eye it doesn't so much count."

The academics and policy experts are refusing to talk about Sweden, because it reveals that they aren't really experts at all - just playing at being experts. It is easy to see this. Here's one of the only recent academic pronouncements on Sweden, published in Nature:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-95699-9

Except it's not really recent at all. Despite being published in August the first sentence of the article is a false claim about public statistics and it goes downhill from there. The reason is, to build its argument it has to simply ignore all data from after July 2020. If it didn't then it couldn't possibly make the arguments it's trying to make. Also, it cherry picks its countries and its calculations aren't even consistent with each other. It's not science. It's policy advocacy pretending to be science. These people deserve to be raked over the coals in public because their credibility is zero.
I'd say the election is still very emotional because people don't know if they can trust those statements.

Many young people were upset when upload filters were introduced after the politicians responsible had explicitly and publicly promised that there wouldn't be any.

Many old people were upset by the amount of corruption happening recently, from overpriced covid masks to 700 mio Eur in non-refundable deposit payments for a software project which was ultimately scrapped before it ever started.

And then there's the aspect that parties which have been in power for a long time and reduced support and subsidies for solar and wind energy are listed as caring about the climate.

That's because this table purely summarizes what parties have said they plan to do. But there is no reality check.
To be fair, France has consistently betrayed its allies, throughout history. The start of WWII is worth looking at, where both France and Britain broke mutual defense treaty after mutual defense treaty appeasing Germany.

A lost sale in contrast? That seems more like normal business than lying and betrayal.

"I find post-coding, pre-merge code reviews ineffective, for a change. The code was already written. Time/money spent."

This implies the need for smaller pull requests maybe?

If work is broken into smaller chunks, addressing peer feedback isn't as costly, because there's time to back out of poor decisions if the peers get alerted to them early on.

Changing the course once the implementer has indeed invested lots of time and effort into a flawed solution is ineffective, true; but that might just mean the feedback was asked for too late.

"If you want to enforce standards, automate it"

Agreed, as long as you're thinking standards as in indentation, naming rules etc. All the simple stuff can be done with code inspections, and employing humans to enforce these "mechanical" standards is a waste of time. No argument there!

However, there are higher-level standards that can't really be automated though, or at least not effectively. Eg. various architectural conventions and the like.

"If you want to maintain good codebase, review it periodically (codebase, not some changes to it contained in pull request) and refactor"

Well, I can see how it could work in a small, lean project... but in some multi module behemoth with millions of LOC and history spanning back years?

"The code was already written. Time/money spent" rings much more strongly in that scenario that in reference to "regular" code review.
Thanks. We're kinda solving this problem for ourselves and people share the same emotions.
what I liked about this and would want Go to pick up is error handling. Rust's ? expression is probably one of the best inventions from the last 2 decades. There is more error handling code in my Go project than actual business logic. I see hundreds of error handling proposals being shot down by the Go community, I am not sure if these people write the Go compiler or the ones actually using Go to build projects or is it the case of, "since I had to suffer with error handling, you should too."
Anecdotally, I'm always very impressed with the connectivity I see in the US versus my home connection in the UK. I'm fairly certain that the last mile from my suburban home to the cabinet is made of corroded aluminium.

d) stand its ground independently, invest in its military to have the capability it needs, work with AUKUS if and when it is in its interests to do so. This includes taking a more 'non-aligned' stance on China, but that'd not be historically new (France was the first Western country to recognise the PRC and De Gaulle even advised Kennedy to do it sooner than later).

Doubling the price, delays, and changing the terms (reducing local contribution told from 90 to less than 60) aren’t good ways to secure a deal with a partner that was already angry in 2018.
There are also other approaches to the problem, like Jump Hash, Multi-Probe and Maglev hashing. Each of them offer a different combination of load balancing, scalability and performance trade-offs. [1] provides a good analysis of the available methods and their tradeoffs.

Jane Jacobs‘ book mentioned in the article is one that I highly recommend („The Death and Life of Great American Cities“; another one is „Cities and the Wealth of Nations“, here, if I remember correctly the theory is That cities are the drivers of economic growth, not countries. She even argues that cities have been the starting point of the agricultural revolution). There is so much thought-provoking material in those books. Blew my mind, when I read them five or so years ago.
> No other package manager can freeze the complete dependency set you are using

I don't know if you realise that your post makes a poor case for that, and for imagined reproducibility of nix builds?

1. Direct quote from your post: "if you tried to follow this article step by step, you’ll have noticed that the versions of ruby and node you installed are probably slightly different from the ones above".

The "solution" for that is to dig through some commit hashes, and use those.

Commit hashes are not versions.

2. Your example points to a completely random version of a package

The previous issue already points to a random version, apparently, but this is further compounded by the fact that "ruby_2_6" and "nodejs-10_x" point to a random version that is available at the time.

To truly make the claim that nix allows reproducible builds, it needs to provide:

- a way to specify versions that don't depend on the commit hash of a "nixpck channel" whatever that is

- a way to actually properly pin package versions. Something that all package/dependency managers allow you to. If I want to pin ruby to exactly 2.6.7, for an actual reproducible build, what is nix' solution for that?

Sounds like the good, old "X considered harmful" template, where the headline is clickbaity, but the content actually boils down to "X considered harmful ...if done badly" (doh).
The use of a non-static tag is intentional to pick up security and bug fixes. It's like using a "stable" branch, where you expect to get any emergency fixes to the stable branch. Only in this case it's a release-specific stable branch. If you ran a system with some compliance mandate that not even security fixes could be automatically applied, then you'd pin to the hash.
Ha! This exactly.

I really hate the 'pretending to be something it's not' angle of faking handwriting. But the tech and the effort that went into making it work is indeed fascinating.

But for every question, you can choose 'I don't know'. There is a button for exactly that kind of situation at the bottom, only called 'Next thesis/question'. Then, when you finished, you can still read the answers and think about it.

Wahl-O-Mat isn't there to simply tell who you have to vote. It should make you think, maybe reevaluate your priorities and views but in the end, it's a list of questions where you can compare all parties answers. You just have to ignore the percentage match.
I concede it is possible. I just don’t think it would be a sustainable business model. Maybe if you get one really big catch…
Yeah they do food deliveries in part of Canberra. It’s Google’s Wing, has been operating for probably 3-4 years now
joinpeertube.org has a "content selection" featuring 1 video, 1 channel and 1 instance on the homepage. It also has a "browse instances" button above that and further down the page, and a search form powered by sepiasearch.org. It's already not that bad compared to many fediverse landing pages, but i'm sure suggestions are appreciated.

Just consider publishing more content on the homepage would raise questions, like what content to prioritize/ban from the homepage? There's some editorial work to delist certain instances from the instance list, but personally i'm rather glad Peertube doesn't go much further trying to recreate the whole Youtube experience where a single actor decides on what you get to see.
Seems to be a coffee delivery, and Wing seems to be "a subsidiary of Alphabet" that offers drone delivery as a service?
>Many young people were upset when upload filters were introduced after the politicians responsible had explicitly and publicly promised that there wouldn't be any.

I beg your pardon, upload filters?
Humans rely heavily on social proof and familiarity to make decisions. There is social pressure to be normal and stick with the herd or only try small innovations on or close to the bounds of acceptable thought. But in contrast it is difficult to make serious contributions to state-of-the-art without being some combination of insane, obsessive or twisted. It can be done, but someone who just wants to set fire to everything is just going to learn more about fire than everyone else. While normal people don't learn how to do abnormal things.

The whole trick is setting up a society where strange people can make outsized constructive contributions even if society at large is trying to hit them with all the bullying tools it uses to make people stand in line. That is part of why liberty is so important, and why it is necessary to accept people even if they are just wrong about a belief.

But if somebody downloads the data, and they can track the source to your computer, do they even have to decrypt it on your computer? (I mean does law enforcement have to decrypt it on your computer, or could they just indirectly prove you hosted the data).
The comment from @dukeyukey that you replied to says, as a reply to the suggestion we invest in peace rather than adverts:

> I'd argue the European Union was an experiment in peace along these lines, to bind a war-torn continent so close together that war becomes unthinkable.

I read that as more about bridge-building (and building the peace) than “peace keeping” in the “play nice or we shoot” sense that I get from NATO.

> In fact technically speaking neither NATO nor the EU have prevented wars happening in /Europe/ over the last 60-odd years. And I mean Europe. The EU is not Europe.

Okay, but why must the perfect be the enemy of the good? The context looks to me like “the EU is an attempt” not “the EU perfectly does this thing”.
Wahlomat was a great starting point for me as someone who is not up-to-date on current party agendas. However, its weakness is that it breaks down answers into yes/no options. For me there were lots of items that required more than that (for example: I was looking for parties who reject the premise of a given question - I would have loved a graphical indicator for those cases). But I have to say, drilling down to get that information was not only possible with the website but was easier than hunting for a given stance on a party's website.

The structural problem (or feature) in Germany is that voting for a party who is not expected to pass 5% in total votes is basically the same as not voting at all. For me as a holder of niche opinions, this is inconvenient. Of course, everybody knows this feature exists to prevent the recurrence of a Weimar Republic-style desaster.

I do wish we (Western-style democracies in general) would make more use of direct democratic measures. Barring that, I would absolutely love to give my mandate to several parties in different areas (for example, give my mandate to the Pirate Party on IP matters, but give it to someone else on social policy).
There have been a long history of "hot" confrontations and proxy wars like Korea, Cuba and Angola, Vietnam, the Russians in Afghanistan and then the US in Afghanistan etc.

But go ask random people on streets in the US, Russia or Europe, and they will focus on the "cold war" and the iron curtain and NATO's defense of the west against the threat of Soviet expansion.
So let me get this straight - it's a bad deal for the restaurants, it's an increasingly bad deal for the deliverymen and it depends on VCs subsidizing it to even work?

How did something like this even get funded? I mean, I could understand if the development costs were being funded by VC money, but actual deliveries? Even if one company were to actually dominate the market, it would still need to continue subsidizing variable costs and there is no moat to protect them from competition.
> give them a salary

That's more tricky if the freelancer is not a resident from the same country as my company's headquarters.

I guess tailored freelance contracts can always be crafted: monthly fixed rate, span over 12-24mo, 4-week termination notice... so that it feels salary-like. That's not an issue. The real pain is where to find the type of freelancer accepting these and with the correct mindset.
We could do with less racism and cold-war-era scare.

Edit: As a revenge for pointing his racism the above user decided to act abusively and go to my history and downvote my recent posts - the only one of my 4 most recent posts that was not downvoted was this one, as people can't downvote replies to their own posts. It happened just after that poster responded, feel free to form your own opinion about it.

Apparently pointing out that associating a whole ethnicity with hacking, trolling, and shilling is racist is "vicious, hateful slander" and a lie. I guess this user is going to complain next about indian scammers, jewish bankers, and whatever other vile racist description he can think of when it is convenient.

I find it sad that a lot of posts nowadays end up attacking the person behind the post rather than just the post itself, it seems like it is becoming more and more common as time goes on (although I do recognize that this applies to my edit too rather than just the reply).

> at the same time they absolutely totally want NOT to prevent filtering they want to happen

I'm sure there's a lot of this about, but the situation with freenet is more complex than that. When you run a freenet node, you are storing data on behalf of others, and you don't have access to that data so you don't know what it is.

It's one thing believing that speech should be free, but that's a different thing to believing that individuals should be forced into storing and sharing speech they disagree with.

It's that extra level of potential complicity in speech you find objectionable that makes freenet more problematic, and that makes accusations of hypocrisy a little unfair.
If you find anything interesting in there, it means Google is successfully tracking you across the web to know your habits. Try from a fresh browser/computer and you'll see all recommendations are commercial trash-vertisement with no human/scientific/political interest.

Some of these suggested videos may be fun to watch but Youtube has become really bad over the years to discover interesting, not well-known content. Now they're trying to maximize ad revenue, and the recommended videos have suffered as a consequence, only pushing top-popularity content pushed by "content creation industry" with very little quality.
Specifically for expressing beliefs? No. Only the one that I mentioned as a reply to the sibling post to yours.
> The Y combinator is not generally useful for instance

I wish I had been told that before trying to understand and actually use it. I once wrote a JS benchmark based on Rosetta code to compute Fibonacci numbers. Not only is the Y combinator code convoluted and quite hard to understand, it's also between 1e5...2e5 times slower than a plain iterative implementation.

Somehow I find it ironic to post such a result here.
Offering closer partnership to India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore might be a viable alternate way forward for France - and they might find it in their interest too. More "indo" than "pacific" though.

Q. What search engine do Currawongs use?

The first, and possibly the most important part, of critical thinking is to recognize that you can't be right all the time, and embrace the instances where you're wrong as learning opportunities. I am glad to see that you seem to be pretty good at that already :)

Aside from that, I don't actually have anything concrete for you, unfortunately. What's worked for me is reflecting on my own biases and confidence in the information I am bringing to the conversation. In your case here it's clear that you started your comment with "I think this person is fake" and constructed a (tenuous) chain forwards to arrive there using assumptions rather than concrete information. We all do this to some extent, but specifically taking time to look for this kind of thing can help reduce the chances of it happening. Another skill you can learn (generally, by interacting with people you disagree with) is the ability to run your own devil's advocate on your comments. It sounds a bit strange to say it, but a lot of what I write gets much stronger pushback from myself before I even send it than it does once it's out for others to respond to.

As for practice, you can do this anytime you interact with anyone. As long as you are interacting in good faith, an open mind, and with genuine curiosity, people are unlikely to ban you. What you might want to keep in mind, however, is the context surrounding the conversation: getting something wrong about Java is regrettable, sure, but ultimately not a big deal. But outright calling someone a fraud is a pretty serious accusation, especially considering that certain groups of people are often more affected by this problem. When talking about real-life people, you should be very careful about the conclusions you draw and what their consequences may be.
As with everything there are ways of mitigating risk. Buy a broken one, or even just the motherboard?
One article said that the France contract was about 7 bil per diesel sub, while the new one will be 4 bil per nuclear sub.

I can't imagine how you can justify 7 bil for a diesel sub.

Is it possible that France though that Aus had no alternative and ran the price up?
10 decibels is a 10x reduction in energy. An 8dB reduction is a factor of 10^(8/10) = 6.3 times less energy radiated. Good luck getting a 6.3x improvement in any other parameter in an aircraft design without major sacrifices elsewhere.
