The conquest of the Americas killed more than 90% of the population of the Americas. The conquest of Egypt mentioned before maybe killed 1% of the population. Are they the same thing or not?
You see ads on instagram offering to buy or borrow your bank account for £50... and when they're used for muling guess who it is that gets their account banned and then a CIFAS marker ensuring they can't bank anywhere else? The desperate kid who needed the money, not the actual criminals behind it.
Arguing that labour camps, apartheid, the raping both literal and figurative as well as outright genocide that occurred were justified because people today are "freer" (IYO) is a stretch.

I don't know man, but arguing for a process that discriminated against people on the basis of their color is something that I thought was a thing of the past. I guess I was wrong.
Sounds really interesting.

I suppose that, since clamd and radare2 are mentioned, it’d be fair to mention unicorn too.
Alternatively, they will allow players to load external databases of teams, logos and footballers from a file, and the community will do the rest of the job. This kind of stuff has been tried before and it's usually pretty safe, legally speaking.
This sounds like the opposite of having fun to me.
Yes that was annoying to me at first. The official client seems to still get updates, so you don't immediately see anything wrong with it, but has a couple really annoying issues that have been fixed in Syncthing-fork for years.
> Using a persons name in your game implies they endorse your game

I am sure that argument would be made, but I don’t think customers actually think that. Especially if the game makes it clear it’s unofficial.

Beanie Babies were actually cute, and well made toys. They still have that intrinsic value even when dug out of Grandma's closet today.

NFT's haven't got even that much going for them, so far as I can tell. History may recall we used this digital wailing wall for a while; but who will care enough to dig that deep into the minutiae of the silly season when the larger questions are so much more interesting, like "why didn't they see what was happening to their society?"
I tried Syncthing, then I tried Nextcloud, and for the goal of just syncing camera roll and backing up my password manager, they were both a bit of a hassle.

Now I use Minio with FolderSync (Android App, I use the paid one, but the free is perfectly capable) to backup my camera roll and I wrote a very simply WebDAV server in Go to backup my (Android) password manager DB which only supports WebDAV, I sit NGINX in front of them both to terminate TLS and to handle basic auth for the WebDAV server, though I could easily implement basic auth in that too (again, my password manager only supports basic auth).

If someone can suggest a better password manager for Android with a good UI, good integration (e.g. auto-fill), has a Linux desktop app and can backup to WebDAV or Minio I'd jump in a heartbeat.

I considered Bitwarden, but I don't want to run the Mono/Windows server container, and I don't want to rely on the Rust port which is behind in features and is susceptible to the upstream breaking APIs.
ALIX is EOL. Nowadays you'll want to use their APU (excellent too).

All other points aside, it is truly astounding that the non-profit organisation FIFA requires billions of dollars just to license out their name to a video game.

If FIFA really is a non-profit, why is there a need for all this money?

Some context:

>So where does this money go? Well last year [2014] Fifa paid out £26.1 million in salaries to its top 13 executives.

>The organisation does not say how much it pays Sepp Blatter or other senior officials but "compensation is in line with major international and Swiss companies".
Really pleased to see YELP, Inc. on that list, they deserve scrutiny more than ever.
If bitcoin can cause a financial meltdown at a 1T market cap then what about Apple at 2.3T or Microsoft at 2.2T? Facebook is at 915B and is not doing to so well lately either.

I would think these companies would need to be split up as it would be too big of a risk that a "financial meltdown" could occur...
The idea that the war could have been ended any other way is Military Industrial Complex propaganda. It's a complete and total fabrication that relies on the ignorance of people to believe that just a little more war and death would magically create a stable government.

The Afghan government was always going to collapse to the Taliban. 10 years ago, 10 years from now.

There was no end to this war where the Afghan government resisted the Taliban.

And now you claim that the military industrial complex is happy about the end of the war, when they used their control of the media to throw a two month long tantrum? Ridiculous.

How funny that you in one breath bemoan "region destabilized by American hands" and in the next promote neo-colonialism and forever war. You stand for nothing. The Afghan people deserve to rule themselves and if they want an Islamic state, then your bigotry against their self-determination speaks volumes about your concepts of colonialism and your desire to be their white man savior.

That is a somewhat combative thing to say.

We see a NextCloud dev explaining that background uploads don't work herehttps://github.com/nextcloud/ios/issues/215

And we can see syncthing devs lamenting the many issues with an iOS client here https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/102

It may be the case that file eventing now works, but a quick check with an iOS dev friend suggests that the filesystem sandboxing is too restrictive to be meaningful anyway.

Further on this issue, consider that a functioning syncthing client is a node in a p2p network, so must be able to advertise and listen to requests in the background as well as the background jobs that NextCloud requires (as NextCloud is centralised it doesn't need node level co-ordination) - so a partially working NextCloud client is good enough, but a partially working Syncthing client is woefully broken.

A recent new scam is delivery text (SMS) messages [1]. You are expecting a parcel delivery and receive a text message saying you have missed a delivery. The text asks you to rearrange delivery by paying for the cost of re-delivery. The link takes you to a scam website asking for payment from which you enter card details.

I have had these scam delivery text messages. On one occasion, I almost fell for it because the scam text message coincided with an expected parcel delivery. The text messages randomly target people without knowing whether people are expecting parcels, but it undoubtedly succeeds in tricking some people who are genuinely expecting a parcel.

CRT is just the common sense of realising that government treated certain perceived races differently and the rest is mostly just normal history.

That being said, Ukrainian opression in the USSR is not something you can only approach with common sense. You need a rigorous approach to it and even then you can land on quite different conclusions.
It's a mix of different content, most of it not terribly technical except that a bunch of it is PC components. It's about as technical as mainstream content gets though.

The activities of most central banks could trigger a financial meltdown. Financial meltdowns are a regular thing, there is one happening with Evergrande right now.

Focus on the positives. Bitcoin is actually a really interesting way of effecting an international wealth transfer that is totally independent of governments.
Now they're applying the same solution as what the Riot Games did to Valorant. It's alarming as the anti-cheat has kernel rights. Well, I hope that after they implement the anti-cheat, the hackers will probably decrease and eventually die down.
The current iPhone SE (2nd generation, 2020) has TouchID, so there doesn't seem to be a higher threshold of biometric security required by Apple as compared to similar Android brands. There are also Android phones that still offer standard (not in-display) fingerprint sensors.
I had a similar experience from HSBC. They called me about a potential fraudulent claim. They asked for my DOB, card number, sort code, you know, to verify "that I am who I say"... all the stuff they SHOULDN'T ask, and stupidly I gave it all up.

To be fair, I did because my card had been rejected literally 30 seconds before while trying to make a purchase. But it was only after the phone call ended that I realised what I had done. I phoned them back on a number listed on their website, asked them to confirm that I had indeed spoken with HSBC fraud detection, and they confirmed. I then lambasted them for asking me all the questions they tell their customers never to answer.

They're just training their customers to give out information, and even alert customers like myself can sometimes have a moment of panic and comply.
For younger kids (6, 7, 8yo), there was "afternoon care" in school where they did their homework and then went outside to the school playgound and played with stuff. For older ones, they went home after school, and stay there, or go out, and parents usually came home at 3, 4 in the afternoon. For even older ones (13 14, 15,..), they usually stay at home until the parents come home, and then go out again.
This seems exaggerated.
That's not how you get into financial ruin. You get into financial ruin by leveraging onto a speculative position (borrowing money to buy an asset that goes upside down). I suspect most retail cryptocurrency buyers are not doing this yet.

so either they didnt delete her account and she was still considered a Flight Operations Manager in the system, or they reused the account together with password for the new employee

What I don't understand is that if you look at the performance of Chinese academics it isn't particularly exceptional compared to those who had lazy upbringings in the west. Surely they should be basically superhuman in their academic achievements? I am extremely lazy, and had a very crappy lazy school experience, even at British university, and yet I was not significantly worse than my Chinese clearly-a-genius PhD supervisor. In fact I do not see any particular difference in research quality or output when comparing people who had intense school careers to those who had easy and laid back ones. Somehow the intense academic training in those countries does not seem to translate into actual research output.

When I started seeing the right-wing freakout over CRT I went and read some stuff on it.

Let me put it this way. Yes, there are things I disagree with in the CRT package, but there was nothing in there that justifies the amount of attention it's getting.

Some parts were quite reasonable. The idea that it's not just the letter of the law that matters but how the law is applied by the actual people applying it is common sense. The idea that a bureaucracy or social system can have biases built into it that none of the participants are fully aware of (systemic racism) is also obvious to anyone who has ever dealt with bureaucracies. This latter point is the base from which the straw man “all whites are racist” is extracted. That’s not what they are really saying. They are pointing out that one can participate in a system that has built in biases without consciously holding those biases.

Like most political freak outs (including some on the left) it's overblown bullshit to rally up the base. Remember that modern US elections tend to be won on which side has larger turnout, and getting the base riled up with anger is the way you maximize turnout.

The usual tactic is to cherry pick the craziest possible quotes or craziest people from the other side and portray them as representative of the entire movement. Sure you can find people in the CRT community saying stupid crazy things, but that is true for any group of people if you search hard enough.

The left does this too by e.g. painting all Christian conservatives as Dominionists when the latter is an extreme fringe position rejected by most.

I tried both and stayed with Nextcloud because of some features (especially sharing and specifically private links).

I have a ~5 years old server (Intel Skylake, 8 GB RAM) on which I run a bunch od docker containers (about 30). One of them is Nextcloud and the load average is 0.8-1.0. This is for an average of 2 users (me and the rest of my family that in total uses the server as I do myself).

Not a very scientific comparison, but I never had any performance issues.

Huh? So only set it for syncthing.
I'm sorry this happened to you. I actually find it terrible how bullying in general is seen as "part of growing up" and other nonsense or sometimes even heavily played down with lies or fabrications like "the bully himself is actually suffering/has a bad life thats why he does it" (which is in no way generally true).

Or even worse: blame is put on the victim.
> Is this a bad thing to discourage?

No. It's what I encourage people in my team to do all the time. In fact it's something I was also encouraged to do.

The full quote was:

"Become an expert in at least one thing in your job or preferably career, and do it while you have the time" (e.g. when you're junior and expectations are low, or not a manager).
My personal opinion is that the async event loop of Js, while powerful and "fast", is unnecessary overhead for most basic CRUD apps. Promises, callbacks, async/await are cumbersome and cause issues when not reasoned through properly. I've never experienced that with Django.
or perhaps you just focus on the present not the past.

Still interested in reading your source for your claim that Assange disappeared.
Copying a comment I made a few days ago that applies to this thread as well:

I was just discussing Bitcoin 'investing' with a client last week and one of his engineers overheard us and told us a friend of his (another fresh Lebanese immigrant) maxes out his credit cards on the first of the month buying bitcoin, then sells it on the last day of the month and pays off the credit card and pockets the difference. I just...had no response to that. It seemed so obviously dangerous and irresponsible that I couldn't believe a grown adult would do that.

AND THEN he told me about another friend who does the same thing--but with the tuition/living money his family scrapes together and sends him from Lebanon. To me, that was not only stupid, it was a staggering betrayal in trust. Imagine your entire family scrimping and scraping to get money together to send you to college in the US and then you just casually betting it on Bitcoin.
Great to see you commenting here! :D

Were those quotes some kind of cheat system?

NFTs are speculative mania in its purest form.

An NFT confers zero legal ownership over the underlying JPEG - without an intellectual property contract attached, you have no claim. You own the pointer to the image, and that's it.

Moreover, it's fairly clear that the NFT isn't about the art, either - the most popular NFTs are just series of procedurally generated crap, from 400pixel avatars to literal rocks.
There's a lot of other industries that have a bigger market cap than Bitcoin. It doesn't make sense as Bitcoin has been one of the best assets to invest in the last ten years. This might be one of their ways to spread FUD about cryptocurrency.
thanks for noticing that! Indeed, a typo. Will fix :)

I wonder how these correlate to parental success status. It seems the culture wants children to be successful. Children sometimes compare themselves with or view it as a competition with parents. Ones with high successful parents sometime lose hope of being better/successful (see a bunch of boys of successful male actors of the past).
People with power in the IMF doesn’t like Bitcoin competing with the fiat monetary system so much, as they want to force countries to tax Bitcoin higher. There are some countries (like Germany, Portugal, Malta and Cyprus) where there’s no capital gains tax for selling BTC, and people are moving there (Adam Back moved to Malta for example, but he’s not the only one).

Misleading headline as usual. Borrowing a bunch of money to gamble on Bitcoin, just like borrowing to gamble on anything else, can lead to a meltdown.

The reality is that the financial world operates on about the same level as a sportsbook or racetrack. Except for some insane reason we treat the traders and hedge fund managers like priests instead of bookies and addicts.

One thing that people will figure out eventually is that cryptocurrency at least makes it hard to hide all of the borrowing and side bets.

Edit: thought about it for a minute, sportsbooks and racetracks are much more honest than the global financial system.
What chaos means in this context is "sensitive dependence on initial conditions" meaning if there's just a tiny amount of noise in your model of the behavior it's going to become useless pretty swiftly.

Starling murmurations fit the bill. The behavior of each participant can affect the whole flock such that there's a complex network of feedback loops involved. Their behavior, then, is not all that predictable.

Chaos by James Gleick is an entertaining book on the topic.
The youtube alternatives are becoming useful, I can watch most of the content I would otherwise watch on youtube on odysee, it even has a much better UX.
It also seems strange that people would be worrying about a highly leveraged speculative frenzy while simultaneously acknowledging that the underlying asset is highly volatile.

The irony is that almost monotonically increasing prices of other assets lull investors into a false sense of security that encourages ever larger leveraged positions, resulting in increased risk exposure. But volatilility, especially for digital assets (sic), usually flushes out and resets build-ups of highly leveraged positions in both directions.
Besides all the C-bashing, I think it's hard to take a paper seriously when it first notes that some syntax seems to spread "memetically" between languages, such as square brackets for indexing and then turns around and complains about that, since it makes it harder to use knowledge you already have, such as subscripting for indexing (as in math).

At least some leeway for the differences in typography would be sensible there, in my opinion. Source code is "linear" basic text, and expressing subscripting which is a typographical feature is not directly possible, so I think it's rich to judge language designers based on that.

EDITS: Spelling, grammar.
The biggest for me is needing to understand the .NET ecosystem without knowing C#. Then there's the lack of beginner information. I own several F# books and none of them assume you're coming from a scripting language background. I eventually gave up for good. OCaml doesn't have the .NET problem, but I found it to be unergonomic in a lot of ways.

Make no mistake, it's a cool language that I'd love to be good at. The code always looks elegant, I'm just terrible at writing it.
I find that interesting, especially for countries like Korea or Japan. The stereotype of those cultures is sort of passive, and accepting of the status quo. And yet, when anonymous, the fangs come out, if not even more pointed.
