Funny you mention the Viennese Waltz as that was my favorite one mainly for the gliding spins. However, I never really got used to arm placement even after a couple of years. I never got to the point where I was able to develop an internal metric for what's insufficient or excessive touch outside of the most obvious or awkwardly extreme cases.

While Bachata is the probably the most visually intimate, I'd consider the Vienesse Waltz to be most intimate in a mechanistic sense; A dominant partner has near full control over the momentum and displacement of his subordinate at all times. As a result, the onus of success lies with the dominant partner with failure resulting in many moments of backseat leading.

Facing anti-parallel makes in someways it more difficult to dance as it creates a blind spot in the line of dance. This contributes to the stress of maintaining appropriate body distance between partners and couples, while also maintaining directionality, in addition to keeping the appropriate amount of pressure on a partner's upper back without betraying a weak control over ones placing. All of these elements must be simultaneously managed without a thought or a moment of hesitation and, should things go awry, must be swiftly corrected in little more than few seconds.
That's what it's still somewhat good for. I mostly use it to read about random history stuff I'm interested like medieval Europe etc. but avoid it completely for anything contemporary because it always has incredibly left-leaning bias.

I'm thinking of just getting a subscription for a real encyclopedia though because Wikipedia is often rather low quality in my opinion.
> By and large, though, I think most people would agree that politically Wikipedia skews somewhat left of centre.

I find this type of sentence very frustrating. Left of which centre? Where is the centre? What is left and what is right? None of these questions have clear answers as soon as you look at a global userbase.

I think en-wiki reflects the attitude of the editorbase, i.e. mostly young, mostly male, mostly white, mostly anglo-saxon, mostly educated, mostly geeky

Crimes are also not particularly well suited to the blockchain, as the whole "immutable permanent record" thing has the side-effect of leaving a trail of transactions, meaning law enforcement can follow said trail.

Had a similar dilemma to you a few years ago, except that my background was predominantly based in large organisations, i'd never worked in a startup or worked for myself as a contractor.

I chose the contract route and was able string a number of contracts together (sequentially) with rates between £750 - £900pd. (annually ~£170k - £205k).

Contracting can be pretty lucrative depending on your PAYE earning potential. I was earning £126k basic (Director, Senior Solutions Architect) in a large banking organisation when I jumped, so the pay increase was significant.

Checking the current rates in my inbox from this week alone, I see CTO level day rates up around ~£1500pd, which is significantly over your target of £175k.

Just be mindful of getting some decent IR35 insurance setup and having a contract assessment by a reputable company to be confident of a status determination should HMRC decide to take a look.

Best of luck
I was going to reply but your last paragraph tells me you are bringing some unnecessary biased baggage and stereotyping me as believing in nonsense. I suggest reaching out to a variety of people who are against mandates and you would understand that vast majority of them don’t believe in the nonsense which you are stereotyping me as.

I am not misusing stats. your paragraph about the fully vaccinated cases vs fully vaccinated % in Canada seems to missed the point I made. I stated that week but week, that % has risen and a lot faster now after 3-6 months. Ontario had a 19% jump in fully vaccinated cases between October 10 and November 10. Our fully vaccinated % barely rose in that time. Canada had under 10% vaccinations till June 10th so vast majority of our full vaccinations happened in the last 3-5 months. So as we are now coming off the honeymoon period, the cases of fully vaccinated are drastically rising again.

Firstly, the objectives which our Canadian government has claimed for the mandates claim that vaccines somehow prevent transmission - which is simply not true. And obviously they are not 100% effective - the problem is that these effectiveness drops to 3%-66% after 3-6 months. This is not his typical vaccines for polio, measles etc work.

And if you look at stats from Ireland, Iceland, Belgium, Netherlands, Singapore, UK, Germany etc, you would know the shots aren’t doing what you are claiming they are doing. I have been following this daily and have family in 3 of those countries.

In France we kiss.

In Australia we hug. I discovered it the hard way.

When a girl walks up to you, at work in causal work situations, in France you start a kiss on the face. But in Australia she walks 20cm closer and the kiss lands in the neck, and it’s a very, very awkward moment.

(Fortunately she accepted my deep excuses while I babbled to explain what had just happened).

Because money gets spent?

This post should be flagged cause it’s just trolling.

Why does any organization continue to need money?

It’s a very strange question to ask … isn’t the ongoing need for money self evident even if there’s money in the bank?

Serious question: what’s the alternative, stop raising money? Till when? Until they’re desperate?

If it makes you mad that Wikipedia has and asks for money, let me tell you about the church….
The Blockchain only proves the first derivative of ownership. It can't prove the user owned the object before putting it on the Blockchain.
> has any organization ever said "We are good, we can stop growing now.", followed through on it, and then not been thoroughly outcompeted or obsoleted?

The question should be rather asked like that:

"Has any charity/NGO ever pretended that they would not be able to run another year without donations RIGHT NOW from everyone visiting their site, while they are fully loaded and not being transparent about it?"

One should probably not even think of microservices if one employs fewer than 100 programmers.

> “Business” referred to industrial-scale activity. (Before the industrial revolution, “commerce” was the broad term including trade merchants and shopkeepers.)

That sounds very weird to me because OED has plenty of meanings not related to industrial-scale activity that predate the industrial revolution. For example,

"In general sense: action which occupies time, demands attention and labour; esp. serious occupation, work, as opposed to pleasure or recreation.

And there's more of those where this came from, like "a task appointed or undertaken; a person's official duty, part or province; function, occupation" (dating back to Chaucer).

I don't know anything about the guy but the first few sentences normally summarize the article and that article has an entire section "Views on Jews" and "Third Reich" so putting the antisemite in the first paragraph at least is not that far fetched.

But yes, it's the endemic failure to tell "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" that is so worrying. The Wikimedia Foundation wants to become the "essential infrastructure of the [global] ecosystem of free knowledge".

Even if one were to agree that such a global infrastructure monopoly is a desirable thing to have, one would have to need one's head examined to want an organisation in charge of this infrastructure that regularly resorts to lying by omission to suit its own self-interest.

Nurseries have a lot of old books, and TV channels repeat a lot of old cartoons & other shows, so a kid may be exposed to old-style phones in passing quite a lot. And “in passing” is enough at that stage, when a growing brain readily hoovers up any and all available information.
