As others have said, you’re seemingly ignoring the existence of EU regulations which apply automatically without needing to be transposed into local law, and of the Court of Justice of the EU whose decisions are binding for local courts.

Both of these were established by the treaties that were in place when Poland joined, and further reaffirmed in the Treaty of Lisbon (which was supposed to be the clarified and rewritten European Constitution, but that was a bridge too far for some countries’ voters, so instead it became a web of amendments over the existing treaties).
"Elective" in "elective procedure" doesn't mean "optional and potentially frivolous." It just means "not emergent", or put differently it means you won't die if you don't have it right now.

Kidney stone surgery is elective. Cancer resection is elective. Most heart surgery is elective. Most brain surgery is elective.

I assume you're not arguing that health insurance shouldn't cover these things, because that would be extremely foolish. It may, though, be worth acquainting yourself with at least the basic terminology of the field about which you want to argue, because overlooking this point makes you seem as if you don't really know what you're talking about.
There is an unreasonably large number of bigoted, racist, and generally rude "old guy" hams. I've been wondering about this for a while.

I got my novice license when the community was as you describe (helpful, welcoming of everyone) and then got my extra class in the 'modern' age. I have been told that SDRs are not "real" radios (as an example). I get the people who feel inadequate because technology has moved quickly and they don't understand it, but the rage they have at people who do is really quite surprising to me.

One theory I have is that these curmudgeons have 'run out' people who just got tired of hearing them on the air.

That said, in probably 20 years or so it is going to be great because they are all going to be dead and hopefully they will have taken their attitude with them.
Thanks for filing the report! I don't know that we can expect distributions to have the manpower to manage these issues, but neither can we expect users in the middle of the "Juse Use Chrome -> GHacks User Config" to be served by any other mechanism right now. I'd like to see Mozilla respond to the expressions in this thread, but that's frankly unlikely, so at the very least; it warms my heart to that this despise exists, has representation, calls to action, and demands which may someday be fulfilled, be it by leadership at Mozilla or elsewhere.
For me, the greatest advertisement for ham radios were the 'Hardy Boys' books.

Sadly, they've been out of fashion for about 40 years. Ham needs something else.
Clearly you're completely clueless about economics.

I suppose the only encounter I've had with theosophy is through Rudolf Steiner[1][2], whom I find infinitely intriguing - you might enjoy the Rudolf Steiner Press Audio[3] if you like Blavatsky.

It seems to me that the only real thinking that has ever occurred happened around 8th century BCE in India[4]; we fool ourselves in the West thinking we are anywhere close to it.

(workflow/DAG systems are an area of special interest for me...)

Happy to see you're supporting runtime-dynamic DAG shape. That's one of the critical things Airflow is missing.

But, if I'm inferring correctly, it looks like you're recording task state in a similar way to Airflow, i.e. in some kind of data store. I suggest you look at how Luigi models task state: using "targets" which are a task's materialized outputs (e.g. a file, or anything whose existence can be tested for). Luigi's model isn't perfect but it's very valuable for tasks to be able to recognize the condition "my output exists, therefore I don't need to run".

...which leads me to the most important feature you need to check off, that most competitors are getting wrong: resuming a partially failed build. It's often the case that one node of a DAG will fail with a non-recoverable error that can't be solved with retries, and so the DAG as a whole will fail. But if we can fix that error in a way that's compatible with the work that was already done (e.g. fix a network ACL, IAM policy, etc), we should be able to start the DAG again and have it resume at the point of failure, and not do any work over again.

Luigi does this very well, Airflow does it adequately, and I think all the other tools in this space (Prefect, Dagster, Nextflow... tell me about others!) don't do it at all.
Currencies exist to fill a need. Legal tender fills the need to be able to pay taxation obligations. Other currencies can exist for other needs, see scrip for an example of this.
Since you linked to the Slate article, let's quote it directly:

A few months after I published Unfollow Everything, academics at the University of Neuchâtel, in Switzerland, expressed interest in using it to study the News Feed’s impact on the amount of time spent on Facebook and the happiness of the platform’s users. We began working together. The university recruited people to join two study groups: one where participants deleted their News Feeds using Unfollow Everything and a control group where participants left their feeds intact. Participants agreed to share limited and anonymous information—specifically, the amount of time they spent on Facebook, the number of times they visited the site, and the number of friends, groups, and pages they were following and not following, both in total and broken down by category. (For regular Unfollow Everything users, the only Facebook-related data shared was the ratio of followed profiles to total profiles, a metric that helped me ensure the tool was working.)

Again: For regular Unfollow Everything users, the only Facebook-related data shared was the ratio of followed profiles to total profiles, a metric that helped me ensure the tool was working.

https://slate.com/technology/2021/10/facebook-unfollow-every...

The "data sharing" claim, which you've repeated several times in this thread, is as bogus as any other FB have proposed.

If you read and follow the strictures of Elements of Style, your writing is worse than not following it: awkward, stilted, self-conscious, clumsy. The authors did not follow their own advice in their own writing, and not even in that book itself. Its advice is presented and received as truth when it is merely opinion. Worse, people who have real power over you but are not writers will use its advice to evaluate your writing: editors, teachers, even actual judges.

But don't take my word for it. There are language and writing experts who are more articulate and detailed than I who can tell you:

Not really. Average American is already wealthier than the average Chinese. We need better college policies not giving away subsidized loans to useless majors. You should allocate the grants to the fields the country needs, including trade schools.

Why should US corps pay taxes for money they make overseas? That should go to the countries that they're in. Few countries are as greedy as the USA when it comes to taxes. Ask any America working overseas who not only has to fight the locals on taxes and make sure they get their fair part, the USA IRS is always looking over their shoulder and they aren't in the USA making money. Ultimately the consumer has to pay for it as well so essentially the "money" gets taxed multiple times, when it's made, when it's sold, sometimes even when it's used, the money paid to employees is taxed, (cars, boats etc with annual taxes). It's insane.
It’s truly a race!
some cars/car stereos have had auto eq'ing with an active microphone in the past, I have to assume they still do.

> The 12-min trauma film consisted of 11 different scenes involving actual or threatened death, as well as serious injury; the film functioned as an experimental analogue of viewing a traumatic event in real life. Scenes contained different types of context; examples include a young girl hit by a car with blood dripping out of her ear, a man drowning in the sea, and a van hitting a teenage boy while he was using his mobile phone crossing the road. This film footage has been used in previous studies to evoke intrusive memories. The film was projected on a 100-cm × 133-cm screen using an NEC LT25 projector. Viewing distance was approximately 175 cm.
If this is all true, does that mean Apple is now picking winners and losers? (Besides themselves of course, Apple's apps have always been chosen as the winner)
That's not really true. There are and have been many states, provinces and cities where my line of work is rewarded with high pre-tax pay, but the cost of living in those places (especially housing) makes it uneconomic.
Pretty high overview, but good overall. I built an off grid home this last year and it's pretty great.
i've been keeping an eye on 'tenancy for laravel' -- which i think is potentially soon going to get a version upgrade:

https://tenancyforlaravel.com/saas-boilerplate/

or, i guess, the free stuff is 'tenancy for laravel' - the $$ bolt-on stuff that you actually want/need is called 'saas boilerplate'. that's a bit weird, i think, but not my baby.

i had my two most recent projects built for me (but i prototyped!) -- 'i'/we used laravel with the free built-in starter kits, one with bootstrap, and one with the built-in tailwind (which i'm not a fan of).

i went with Laravel/PHP b/c i wanted the perceived ease of being able to find a PHP hacker. i think i got lucky finding a really good hacker, which is nearly impossible if you don't have a lot of money to spend.

i'd been following saaspegasus for months/years, and feel that would be good/fine. just seems well-engineered, solid, supported, ongoing development, etc.

heard good-ish things about usegravity.

i like that most of these toolkits seem to be doing more on the continuous integration/deployment front - just to take more of the hassle out of getting stuff done.

def don't follow my advice, but my advice would be to pick one and get started, because you're def going to pick the wrong one, and you won't know it until it's too late, so you might as well get started.

in other words, you'll either be a billionaire or not, depending on which framework you choose, so choose wisely.

I don't get it. How did you come to the conclusion that he's a white supremacist? This is the syllogism:

All Men are equal in their political rights.
Negroes are Men.
Therefore, negroes are equal in political rights to whites.

If you're talking about his use of the word "Negro", I disagree. Negro was a term commonly used, at the time, to refer to people of African origin. I don't associate any negativity with the word in this context.
I get your point that a node in the network can transfer a different packet. But I think people will have to be more creative with the protocol. For example, other nodes can hear both your transmission and next hop and can detect the packet was changed. I'm not sure you could make it 100% reliably, but the network could be self policing. Hopefully it would be one of those things that doesn't work in theory, only in practice. (And if not, then the rules would have to be updated.)
I'm not as concerned about identity politics as I am about class issues.

Bitcoin is an ancap political project designed to make exploitation of the working class, independent of skin color, easier.

Cool idea, I like languages that compile down into C/C++ (like Nim), leverages the ubiquitious nature of C compilers across multiple platforms. Are there any samples of the final sources? It says it's designed for library development, but if there's a error/bug in the generated code am I actually going to debug and parse it effectively? Generated code may be "readable" but it is it understandable? Or am I going to have to try and fix it in the original code (which may be difficult to pinpoint the source of the error if context is lost during compilation)
He could counter-sue Facebook to at least get back on the platform, if he wants.

The reduction in transmission rates is smaller than you'd think. At 3 months the reduction has diminished substantially, 58% transmission risk, marginally better than 67% for unvaccinated people. There is no data yet for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years.

By "Apple payment's system" I'm referring to any payment system that Apple mandates the use of on iOS, all of which Apple takes a 15-30% cut from revenue. I'm not referring Apple Pay except when I specifically mention it by name. I don't use "IAP" to refer to Apple's payment system, because I'm including purchases through the App Store itself, and those aren't IAPs.

95% of purchases through Apple's payment system (App Store + IAP) by volume are subject to Apple's 30% fee.[1] Sellers need to raise the price by ~42.9% to recover the 30% cut, and the cost of that fee is subsidized by the buyers. Those are hard numbers that have a negative impact on both users and developers.

Yes, I agree that Apple helps provide users with leverage against iOS developers when they overstep boundaries on privacy in some cases. But, Apple never provides users with leverage against Apple itself. Many users and iOS developers are too small to directly challenge Apple when it engages in anti-competitive practices, so that is where government comes in to provide leverage to users and developers against Apple.

Thanks for explaining your perspective.

The 10x programmer discussion feels a bit silly partly because it’s on the wrong scale. The real scale is more like this:

In a specified amount of time, N, what is the conditional probability that the engineer, e, can design and code a solution which is (relatively) error free?

This shifts into [0, 1] and is really asking the more important question.
> If having a realistic worldview hinders my ability to learn, then so be it.

I think the point is that the worldview you described is not realistic.

Many people are successful because of hard work and dedication. Sometimes having talent in a tangential field (design, reading, being a good listener) is enough to make you an excellent engineer or team member. Success is complicated and often depends more on the world than on your particular attributes. Example: Maxwell was a true genius, but he had Faraday's life's work to read through. Faraday was a hard worker and a meticulous note taker who didn't really know math, but without his work Maxwell would not have been able to write his equations. Can you imagine if Faraday gave up science because he wasn't good at math?
no.

you have to get in so you can tell all the future crypto billionaires that you got in, you're in, and that's all that matters, because they're just trying to 'tut tut' you for not getting in, or not getting in earlier.

That's a bizarre take. What incentivises governent workers to be efficient? What incentives workers & owners of a private business to be efficient? Government isn't at risk of going out of business, and within a government department, doing a particular thing more efficiently can result in lower budget and reduced headcount. You might be talking about certain large enterprises that have become bloated and top-heavy with non-productive hires & survive by lobbying government to regulate & discourage smaller competitors, but that certainly doesn't describe most private companies.
