My goto method for reading reviews is sort by negative and only look at detailed reviews, or at least ones that explain what they thought was lacking. Often the 1/2 star reviews have fair points but might be for a use case I don't care about or similar. This generally gives me an idea of the actual pros and cons of the product as opposed to just a vague rating.

That's assuming you can trust the reviews themself of course.

Of course, in a way, everything is natural.

Let's not play with words, "unnatural" in this context generally refers to "human induced", ie "under human control", ie "we could do something about it, if we fixed politics".

Then at this point some will object that if we haven't fixed it yet, it's because we really can't, because our current politics is actually natural, so we should not even try (showing that the anti-environmentalists can also make use of the natural vs unnatural rhetoric).

"Nature" just like its oposite "human volition" are nothing but concepts that has to be assumed or those discussions make no sense.

I am no scientist, I just used to play in playground as a kid and watched allot of figure skating.

When something is rotating as you said, their mass is away from the rotation point, you can increase the rotation speed by moving the mass closer to the rotation point.

When the skater spins with their hands open they gain rotation speed by just gather their hand around the body.

When the kids spin on the round game, they get closer to the center to gain speed and away to slow down.

Is this a thing? Does this actually translates to increased centripetal force? Why they didnt get more speed by using this method?
Same here in Western EU. And if you can't or won't use Apple Pay, any NFC EMV or Pin + Chip EMV will do. Don't combine automation with manual transactions (the direct debit thing), don't put a bunch of value on a thing if you don't have to (both the direct debit thing and the cards) and don't use a credit card or 'overdraft' (or whatever the local equivalent is) features.

One of the things, among many then unique features, that charmed me about Redis when I first encountered it when it first surfaced (2008?) was the ability to open a telnet session to Redis and type commands see the responses. It also hugely helped in writing drivers for it. As to your intuition (“seems”), the fact is that Redis is a very high performance server. I think the key is considering what fraction of time of servicing a request is spent on parsing the requests — given the network hop and other non-protocol computations, it is likely to be negligible.

I seem to recall there being service levels at banks in Canada and maximum numbers of transactions per month until one gets hit with per-transaction fees. I was told explicitly when I opened my TD Canada Trust account there that it was imperative that I both keep money in the accounts and use them occasionally or dormancy fees would accrue (and if there was no money left, they'd then slam it with overdraft fees).

The benefit of US banking despite lax regulation was that there's a ton of different banks and credit unions to choose from. Some are great and some are shit. Literally hundreds to pick from. Canada there was like 5 big banks, a large credit union, and then depending on your area there was maybe perhaps a small community credit union.
I think that requirement of “high enough” is why I was surprised, given that a) it was a 1/3 scale model, b) it was a trial run, and c) things frequently go wrong. I guess sitting below it shows their confidence in its ability to get things up there!

Edit: that being said, it does look like there is a slight angle.

Pretty much all of that is handled by the social safety that the government is there for or by your own savings that you build up because you are an adult and look ahead to make sure you can deal with such events. One of those things is planning and specifically financial planning.
You could argue that Nixon improved relations with China to counter-balance USSR influence during the Cold War.

It was obviously foolish to help China become an economic power since the CCP has been at war with the US since the end of WW2 (2 Taiwan Straits wars, 2 Korean wars, Vietnam war), largely driven by Maoist ideology. (The USSR was involved in stopping the Straits wars to prevent wider conflicts.)

(The USSR dealt with an aggressive CCP by obliterating their forces during a border conflict using overkill. The CCP doesn't understand anything less. The USSR also planned to use nuclear weapons on Beijing around 1969, but the US intervened.)

I followed outsourcing to China in the business press from about 1972 to 2000. I shook my head at the end of each article. But here we are.

What's important to realize is that both the CCP and Russia make public statements and:

1) they're either obviously hyperbolic or

2) they accurately represent their actual plans.

#2 is not well-understood by our politicians for some reason. Pompeo is one of the few people to get it, hence the US' very effective strategy for the CCP during the Trump administration.

Note that China has structural weaknesses that will diminish its power: they import 50% of their energy and food, and have a demographic problem that could cut their population in half. They also have serious flooding issues, with 100,000 questionable dams built since 1945.

And the US can currently only make one F-35 per week, while in WW2 the P-51 was literally stamped out.
Which is stupid, since people who look for a cheap used option aren't going to buy a new product at full price anyway. They are going to buy a cheaper product from another company, and then you have lost them as a potential future customer.

People who buy your companies used products are much more likely to buy your companies new products at some point in the future.
Not GP, but the first term you can search for in an article like these is "anonymous". If the writer claims Bitcoin allows anonymous transactions, then they have failed the first and most basic test of crypto literacy.

From the article:

>Because [BTC] transactions are anonymous and (generally) irreversible, crypto assets are also a prime target for thieves.

Unless you are talking about a privacy coin, most crypto is pseudononymous. A record of every transaction is kept in perpetuity and can later be linked to a given person by following the trail of records when someone in the chain eventually provides a service that has to implement KYC (Know Your Client) protocols (e.g. an exchange, a bank, or a typical e-commerce merchant).

There's a list somewhere which I couldn't find, but I think the majority of startups are copywriting/marketing. It makes sense. It's high demand, pays well, and thinking up unique stuff 3-5 times a day is a pain. And yet it falls in the routine labor bucket.

Personally, I'm working on a kind of text based renderer, for lack of a better word. It's an API where you ask it to describe things. For example, a volcano with farms, in first person:

"Lava flows down the sides of the mountain and gathers in a horseshoe-shaped valley, where it cools and hardens into black stone. The mountain is covered in crops and the air is fresh and smells like fruit."

I wouldn't really call it a startup, but it's the kind of thing that has helped me save time and money and I enjoy writing the prompts for it.

I don't understand why America, long a champion of immigration, doesn't open the floodgates back up.

We could onshore factories and staff them from all over the world. Pay workers wages comparable to what they would get from working in factories at home (ie. not "US wages" since we can't compete on cost with China, Vietnam, etc.), but give them decent hours, a housing stipend, education for their kids, and a promise of US citizenship. Also offer them courses on American culture, English, etc. "Melting pot" rather than unsupported labor. We could make it really comfortable and attractive.

To incentivize business, we could offer zero taxes over the next fifty years to run factories domestically. Start with the critical pieces, and then build everything.

Growing beyond 300M would also dramatically increase our consumer base.

To keep natural born citizens from getting angry, we can offer tax incentives for people having children. We can pay kids $20/week to study and get good grades (not a bad idea - it especially incentivizes poorer kids!). We can also grant credits for kids that excel in math/science, music/art, sports/club, etc. Keep them engaged and growing.

I recall calling a number in the back of a magazine to buy VistaPro 3. I was a dirt-poor kid at the time. I asked for the upgrade, and was worried because I didn't own v2, just the first version. They laughed and said it would work fine.

It came and was the full install, they were just giving a discount if you owned the previous version.
It came with two additional CDs filled with DEMs. One with DEMs in the US, the other across the world.

I suppose the reason is Vec<T> implements `Borrow<[T]>` and [T; N] implements Borrow<[T]> as well. The trait implementation requires these types to have same implementations for all traits including comparisons and hashing.

Returning `false` when types don't match doesn't make sense in Rust since Rust is strongly typed (and not interpreted).

And say if we don't make them compare equal. then vec![1, 2] != [1, 2] but &vec![1, 2] == &[1, 2], which is just too opaque and confusing. This behavior is no fit for a language like Rust.
Wouldn't that be a good item for a government at some level to look in to? Life without a working bank account would seem unreasonably hard to me.

It's really inelegant though! To multiply two complex numbers, we need to embed one in a 2x2 matrix while keeping the other as a 2d vector, and then do the matrix vector multiplication. And furthermore, it's not like every 2x2 matrix corresponds to a complex number...
Currently in Odyssey password_passthrough works only for cleartext auth, PAM and LDAP.
Probably, we could make this for MD5 work too. And it's the whole purpose of SCRAM to defeat this feature :)

The other way to do so is auth_query - you provide a storage password to access auth data of the DB. This works for MD5 auth. When user wants to authenticate we just check credentials against what we see in the database.

Having worked in large fortune 500 companies they can be totally different experiences depending on the department and particularly the country you work in.

I understand the argument, and I broadly agree. I’d add three things - first is to generally point out how difficult it is to actually prosecute a case like this; the second is to suggest that there’s a wide range of behavior that isn’t strictly illegal but which I think we as society are broadly within our rights to have opinions about (Martin Shkreli jacking up the prices of drugs he’s purchased the rights to, for instance); and the third is that Louis admitted to the allegations.
Australian here -
Points systems are only really worth it in Aus if you're collecting frequent flyer related ones. There are not as many cash-back rewards as the US. We have had a universal fee free bill payment system called Bpay for 20+ years, and paying via cc usually incurs a minor fee. So most households will direct Bpay household bills rather than via credit card.

I don't fly much, so I dont feel the need to harvest points. I dont want my purchasing data picked up by any more companies than necessary (my bank & the vendor), and all the various chargeback and refund facilities offered by credit card companies are a bit less critical as Australia already has stronger consumer protection law around goods fit for purpose & refunds. Credit scores are not really a thing in Australia either, you are assessed on your current ability to service a loan rather your history. Defaults still show up & count against you, but 'building good credit' is again an American concept.

Credit cards are a product designed largely for the American market.

> Surely this activity could have started in 1950,1920, 1890

It did start in 1890. Read about the Populist Party, Cross of Gold speech, Pullman strike, Haymarket affair, US occupation of the Philippines. All of this started before the 19th century. In any old industrial city, check the date when the old national guard armories were built. Why did large, fortified national guard armories start popping up all over the industrialized parts of the country just before the turn of the 20th century?

> I want to be a contractor. With all the rights & responsibilities that entails.

Cool, and one of those responsibilities is ensuring that the contract arrangement is that of independent contractor and not employee.

(Well, actually, it's more that your right as an employee is that your employer has the responsibility to ensure the arrangement isn't being misrepresented. So, really, you're free to make whatever arrangement you like but if your "client" is actually your employer they open themselves up to legal risk.)

And, if your arrangement meets the legal criteria, then great, you can be a contractor.

And, if it doesn't, then you can "lobby" the government to change the law so that you get what you want and other people get to be more easily exploited by their employers.

Or, you know, you can ensure that you have multiple clients, work at times & locations & on equipment controlled by you, on specific pre-agreed tasks and/or whatever other legal requirements need to be met to be considered a contractor.

With regard to the carpenters, company structure is unrelated to whether or not you're considered an employer by law. If the arrangement you have with the carpenters meets the criteria of being an employer/employee relationship, then, that's what it is.

But most likely they're independent contractors free to accept & refuse work as they wish, have & use their own tools etc etc or they're employees of a building firm you've actually contracted with.

Nurses, teachers, doctors, hairdressers, etc., should not be subject to vaccine mandates. Doing that exacerbates the problems of understaffed ICU's, schools, and service industry, not to mention the fact that governments have been the biggest killers of people. Compared to a virus with a 99+% survival rate, they have killed orders of magnitude more. Giving governments more power at a time like this, and tanking the economy like this, as well as shutting so many people out of the economy, seems like stepping on a landmine to prevent getting shot.
