>credible allegations

I truly wish that allegations of any and every sort were considered not credible by the general public. Domestic abuse is a real problem, but false allegation of domestic abuse is a real problem, too. Indeed, if a person wants to harm another without lifting a finger, the simplest thing to do is claim "He hurt me" or "I'm afraid of him" and you'll get every cop, judge, attorney, a legion of your friends, and family, maybe some of his too, on your side. Because to even doubt a woman's allegation is to condone violence against women, making you no better than an abuser yourself.

This isn't against women. How many of us, given such an arbitrary and powerful weapon, would have the character not to use it, especially against someone we hate for personal reasons? "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned," and yet here we are, giving scorned women the literal power of life and death over the object of their rage.

That the accused does not have recourse, neither in a court of law nor in public opinion, goes without question. The solution is not to lament the lack of self-restraint, but to take this unfair power away. Accusation is not guilt, and we need to stop assuming that every accusation is credible.
This ‘protip’ is quite wrong on many levels. Observe the behaviour of the most successful investors, and you will notice they write books, go on podcasts, talk about their strategies etc all the time. In fact you can’t shut them up. The world’s most successful investor, the biggest ‘Scrooge McDuck’ of them all, has completely public disclosures.

On the contrary, the worst advice comes from people who have no accountability or reputation to worry about.

How about NASA?

I'm not a US citizen so apologies if I got that wrong but I figured NASA always had the goods, in terms of personel, even if they also had some bad apples in there.
I feel the big takeaway from COP26 and its predecessor events is that realistically, we simply won't do anything on a global scale to reduce CO2 emissions to any sustainable level. Not without China participating, not without nations making any genuine commitments, not with the lax timetables proposed and the various fossil interest lobbies blocking. This is simply not happening.

The upside is, that once we accept that this is not happening we can move on from these attempts and fully focus on technologies that capture/remove carbon from the air. This one to efficiently convert CO2 into starch (https://newatlas.com/science/artificial-synthesis-starch-fro...) comes to mind. I have no insight of my own to contribute, but David Friedberg argued on the all in podcast that a 25 square-mile areal of these would be enough to capture all CO2 currently in the atmosphere. (again, just quoting, not able to verify this myself)

Funny it's been re-posted as new though, I wonder if the author is the original one ....
I think for many people this problem would be partially solved if employers provided the possibility to charge your car at work (some do already). Many companies are located in industrial zones where the connection to the grid is better.

A positive side effect: if the companies in the industrial zone have large-scale solar panels installed on their roofs, the load on the grid and power plants could be reduced (at home, people usually charge their cars at night).

Sounds like a perfect solution to me, which means there is something wrong in my reasoning :)
I don't think there's any good wired headphones that power ANC without a battery - that's because ANC takes power which the 3.5mm jack can't deliver. Would love to be proven wrong on this, but even if you find a pair of wired headphones that do ANC off battery it's unlikely the ANC is any good, as there's only three manufacturers that seem to get it right - Sony, Bose and (now) Apple.

> We’ve also heard directly from smaller creators, and those just getting started with their YouTube channel, that they are unfairly targeted by dislike attacks.

How do they know that? I hate to be rude but what if people genuinely don't like the content? Of course maybe someone said upfront "I am dislike bombing this video with my 100 youtube accounts" but otherwise it's not clear to me how people are differentiating between an attack and a genuine expression of opinion (though an admittedly rather coarse one).
What rubs me the wrong way is that he shot himself an HOUR after the judge ruled he would lose his daughter and what sounds like huge amount of money.

The explanation from the ex-wife sounds very fishy as well.

> confirmed his treatment of me was Domestic Violence

* this is not for a divorce court to decide. This is a criminal offense not civil. Something feels off..

>He was due to get our daughter for Christmas

* thats brutal he doesn't get to see his daughter for months at a time?

>help me and my daughter stay in our home in Canada and allow me to provide a good life for her

* define good life? Taking all of a guys money would definitely provide a good life for someone.

This piece sounds very carefully written to make the wife look like the good person and demonize the dude. But I would be willing to bet it's not that simple.

""""

Yesterday I recieved a divorce ruling that would help me and my daughter stay in our home in Canada and allow me to provide a good life for her as well as pay back numerous debts that had accrued during the past two years when I was receiving $350 a month in child support.

In the divorce ruling the judge found that Rich had willfully spent down the martial fund, confirmed his treatment of me was Domestic Violence and put together a plan to pay for the attorney fees etc. He would still retain custody settled on previously in mediation. He was due to get our daughter for Christmas.

An hour later I was contacted by my attorney who informed me that Rich had shot himself earlier in the morning.

> The system is fine. What if we applied this logic to elections? Just get rid of them altogether since they're prone to brigading.

Yes, elections suck, but that's their purpose. Mankind is not able to act smart on scale, but there is the interesting effect that we will act sane enough on scale. Elections usually aim to utilize this balance, because all other known solutions are sucking even more.

And not to forget, in a healthy working democracy, you can't game elections like you can do it with (dis)likes. With online-services, it's relative easy to get thousands of alt or hacked accounts, which you can use to manipulate the numbers as you like.

> There's plenty of clickbait videos that have horrible like to dislike ratios and you can save yourself time by seeing the dislike bar.

For some reason, the hotel business seems pretty shady. My sense from crawling the web is that it's one of the areas that have the most blackhat SEO as well. Straight up linkfarms.

This is sheer speculation, but I do think the hotel business is really convenient to get into if you have a questionable side-business and need to launder money. Who is to say if a room was occupied or not that night, if that foreigner who paid in cash really existed. Can pretty much just trickle money into the books. I imagine you could also run contraband out of them fairly easily. Lots of people coming and going with all sorts of luggage. Who is to say if they are as full when they leave as they were when they arrived? Great for prostitution too, trafficking. The girls can tidy up the rooms during the day.

Still more performant than misclicking your link. We are in the evolutionary battles era of the internet for a long time already. To open an article you usually have to click in a right place, scroll past the image, close the popup, close the popdown, scroll past blocked ads box and click on “read more” wrapper, ignoring that flashing “ask us a question” assistant, and when you move your pointer away from text, close another “wait don’t leave” popup.

No, you're seriously misrepresenting history there. First, the Nazis were also convinced that the Jews and certain other minorities had committed crimes against the state and the German people, so there's not a meaningful difference between Hitler's and Stalin's motivations. Second, calling the murdering of the kulaks

> the state exerting its power to punish those it thinks are working against its interests

is as bad and wrong as saying the same thing about the Holocaust.

> Put another way, you could, in theory, avoid punishment in the Soviet Union by avoiding certain actions

No, you couldn't. You're implying that the millions of people murdered, tortured, dispossessed, and imprisoned in gulags under Stalin somehow had it coming and could have avoided their "punishment" by just behaving better. Stop spreading lies, and stop trivializing the crimes against humanity committed by the early Soviet Union.
Totally right in your assessment.

But notice that, following your indication, monthly increase is a steady >0.2% and mostly >0.4% since May 2020, way above average.

So, yes: high inflation has been going on for at least a year.
And has to deal with the issue that people in general have a strongly bad judgement owing to lack of resources to acquire the instruments (time is always relatively scarce), complicated by the fact that people in the lower side of the "distribution" of the abilities lack the awareness of their inadequacy.

Consistently, "democracy" has a strong connotation of negative value, which also implies a countervalue: "better than other systems", which does contain its big "though" - making evident that common forms are suboptimal compromises, in light of the inadequacy mentioned above.
Completely agree with parent and grand-parent. For me, a nice clean commit history is an investment in future maintenance.

Following the rules described above means that you get a lot of context on why code was changed:

* the invidivual commit which should contain a description of the change if the change is not self explanatory or not 'intuitive', the individual commit should consist of only 1 functional change

* the commits surrounding it, the feature branch (clearly visible because of the merge commits)

* the issue number on the commit itself and possibly in the merge commit

I've found all this context very informative for projects that are in maintenance mode and still need changes from time to time. Obviously, the higher the quality of the commit history, the higher the quality of the information you get out of it.

Meaning: if you put a rename with an impact over the whole code base (because the original name just happened to bother you that day) together with a bugfix in the same commit and the commit message has the very informative text 'fix', and the referenced issue mentions 'add support for blah' (but the commit obviously does not implement anything related to 'blah'), then... well, yeah, then how you organise your commit history does not really matter.

> Inflation does not affect (relatively speaking) the poorest more.

Not at all: people with low incomes struggle the most to get raises.

And those who barely get to the end of the month struggle the most when their purchase power decreases by 5%.

> On the contrary, it's a tax on people that have a lot of cash or cash-equivalent assets.

No, wealthy people tend to invest theirs saving in various things that resist or often even beat inflation.
This. Let's not discount the fact that this is why I've been loading up on everything I always wanted to buy on 2-3% APR for the past year.

Lol you'd be suprised. Recently one large dutch newspaper published a scathing report published by CapGemini (large consultancy in NL) that researched the security setup at the largest telco in NL (KPN). They found that Huawei was able to listen, read and do pretty much anything they'd like with the data. But this was quickly swept beneath the rug. So no, I am pretty confident that the attitude wouldn't be different if either of those state actors seem to be responsible.

Opel is not really anymore German. Opel is just re-selling cars from PSA like Seat/Skoda is re-selling cars from VW. With the distinction that Seat/Skoda has much more freedom on production decisions and personalization decisions that Opel has. I have many engineering friends who left Opel because of this. Opel is much more dependent as it ever was with GM.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI), for example, measures the prices of a basket of household goods and services that households regularly consume, with weights assigned to each item in the basket based on their average shares of total expenditures. Among these is a shelter component that includes both rental costs and the consumption value of owner-occupied housing, in addition to other forms of lodging such as hotels. Shelter makes up nearly a third of the basket for CPI inflation, and 40 percent of the basket for core CPI that excludes the volatile food and energy components.

In narrow circumstances, I can see how receiving legal advice may be a factor. For instance, theft in England and Wales must be dishonestly done, and s.2(1)(a) of the Theft Act[1] states that:

> A person's appropriation of property belonging to another is not to be regarded as dishonest if he appropriates the property in the belief that he has in law the right to deprive the other of it, on behalf of himself or of a third person

Pure ignorance of the law doesn't provide you such a belief (IIRC), but seeking legal advice may do so. I'm can't think of any other examples, but I wouldn't be surprised if they exist (for example, if your conduct must be reasonable, following legal advice may lend weight to the argument that it was).

It would also be relevant to explaining the conduct, even if it does not provide a legal defence.

I'm all for replacing our current democracies with better systems and to fight corruption. However I'm not for eliminating our current system without anything to replace it, that is a recipe for disaster. If people are willing to vote for a corrupt politician in a democracy, then they would also be willing to fight for a corrupt warlord in an anarchy, and if I have to choose between dealing with corrupt politicians or hostile warlords I'll pick the corrupt politicians any day.

Chinese FDI inflows and outflows are actually almost equivalent in USD terms. Furthermore, China is well known for placing huge restrictions on capital outflow in its economy.

I think it's safe to say that even if every last dollar of FDI dried up, China would be more than fine with its domestic capital supply.

Furthermore, the identities of the big FDI investors are dominated by physical manufacturers investing in onshore operations. Not so much liquid global securities trading.
