Best hug for me is no hug, thanks.

I would bet 95% of the human beings never hugs except between lovers or parents and their kids. I would bet hug is very much a North American thing. I'm French and hate hugs (we kiss on the cheeks, which feels less intrusive to me, but is crasy intrusive in most non-Latin countries).

I live in China and, in normal settings, people here won't hug, won't kiss and won't even shake hands (Unrelated to any ongoing pandemic.) I think it is the same in Japan, Korea, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, etc. Hugs between stars at international movie festivals do not reflect real people's life.
Just Chinese prison labor get any return at all? Apparently we give 4% back to the prisoners although it is vague as to how.
They lack access to the necessary capital.
I usually ask them what was a time that their team had to really rally around to get a project done.

Things like general happiness and morale can be picked by just seeing how well the interviewer is prepared to ask you questions and the contentment on employees faces.

I’d also ask them if they feel management cares about them and if they enjoy spending longer then normal hours around at the office since it’s something that naturally happens if I’m if I’m excited about my work.
Paying anything for your own music is too much.

I could have paid for this music on a compact disc 20 years ago, ripped it, and eventually had it migrate to this service, where I now have to pay for it month after month to continue to have access to it.

This is clearly aimed at adults, the text gives it away.
Actually not true. That is the typical environment of big corps in my experience. And also for companies who didnt adapt correctly to remote work. I work from Europe with a NY based startup and these problems were resolved. If some work may require people involved in some critical path, it is scheduled in advance. And there is always someone on call for each critical system.

You keep using problems that are not related to remote work neccesarily, but to the way the company works.
I get your point, but to uproot your entire family and existence over this is quite a stretch.

Nobody wants the vaccine, but we take it not for ourselves, but our friends, families, co-workers and people in our community.

The whole "I don't want the vaccine because I don't know what's in it" is a largely American theme that you find less in the rest of the developed world where people are more focused on the health of the community.

You want to move away to establish yourself in another community, but do not want to participate in the well-being of that community.

If this is where your heart is at you might do better to join some off the grid, eco living type community. It will give you more of what you are looking for.
Statistically speaking, (and assuming no flawed data) that would suggest that the highest scoring electric vehicle drivers are biased heavily towards other brands.

Or, there were no drivers from electric-only brands in the group.

Is that a compliment or an insult? When Haskell is involved I can never tell.
This is all false. The choice of whether to use spheroid radomes has ZERO connection whatsoever to do with concealing satellite locations. The parent comment is complete nonsense.

Antenna operators build radomes because they provide resistance to weather and other sources of environmental damage (birds are a big one). The spheroid/polyhedron "golf ball" shape is mostly used on large antennas because it's a structurally strong shape for the weight. It's also volume efficient for circular & spherical antennas, and handles rotating elements well.

Also, it's impossible to hide a satellite in space. Every nation with a space program tracks every orbiting object that's even remotely big enough to be a functional artificial satellite. It's mostly radar, but also visible light, IR, and UV cameras. There are no "stealth" satellites, mostly because you can't hide a launch... And once you know about the existence of a satellite, it's trivial to track it indefinitely. Civilian satellite spotters even do this with military satellites.

The only important thing you can keep somewhat secret about an orbiting satellite is it's specific capabilities. We don't know exactly what kind of telescopes or radar are deployed on Russian spy satellites, and they don't know the exact details of American equipment... But it's not even that hard for ground observers to guess at a satellite's likely mission and general capabilities, based on its orbit, visible structure, etc.

The parent comment's terminology is kinda strange, but that might just be a non-native English speaker... I'm more focused on the fact that their two "endnotes" in the parent post are just images, they don't actually cite any useful information.
There are many places in the world where there is hardly any difference in pay actually, assuming electricity even happens to run one week long without powercuts.

Some of these places are doing outsourcing for US companies, where the developers do indeed get six figures, and that is why those companies are getting their contract deals.
There are these are well.

Not sure why this is downvoted; you are right.
It seems that it's relatively easy to enforce by blocking this type of acquisition, at least according to Facebook.
Starting from LTE, there's no distinction in the network level between data and voice or SMS, it's all just IP traffic. The voice call protocol is called VoLTE. As long as your handset can reach the VoLTE infrastructure via IP, you can make and receive calls.

This actually works already over WiFi too and that's called VoWiFi. That does not support handovers between networks though, so it is not that convenient. Specifically it means that if you walk outside the WiFI network, your call will drop. I suppose the different branding is due to this quality aspect, as there's no difference in the protocol.
"Clean energy" always has it's drawbacks. TIL the issues with the Yucca Mountain Range Nuclear Waste Repository is still being disputed in the state of Nevada.
The article says

>However, if two people were of nearly the same height, the “neck-waist approach” was found to be slightly more common than when their heights differed drastically.

and it links to a different article[1] that says

>they guess that neck-waist might be more common when heights differ more drastically.

One article says neck-waist is most common when heights are the same, the other says neck-waist is most common when heights are different. So the articles contradict each other.

Intuitively I would think neck-waist would be most common when heights are different because the tall person would hug around the neck and the short person would hug around the waist.

Slightly off-topic: I’m a professional dancer, we specifically train hugging.

For contemporary dance, because it’s an important skill for a lot of partnering moves, like jumps involving two persons (an example of partnering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1BbxTWsoO4&t=13s). One important detail I found interesting is that for contemporary dancers, it’s not only about the arms, but how to use the whole body for the hug. Many people in everyday life unconsciously lean forward while hugging to keep some distance between their hips. Close hips feel much to intimate in Western culture for most people. We trained to not do that. Instead we trained to stand with slightly offset feet, so we could stand very close to each other and stay upright and to hug with the whole body. This is both aesthetically and especially biomechanically advantageous for dance.

Similarly in couple dances like Tango the quality of the hug is very important. I remember many female Tango friends would praise an experienced dancer for his abrazo before anything else.

I learned it the hard way. Had an excel template which analised results from a test. It runs for 30-60 minutes depending on the amount of data. If you have another file open in excel and hope to work on it, forget it. Tried it, all data in the other spreadsheet was corrupted (results written in the wrong sheets due to other window being active). The only wise thing was to wait. This was helped by the fact that excel was using one core fully and the other 3 were thermal throtled so the laptop was unusable.
Genuinely curios (since I can’t seem to google that) - what are those cultures you speak of? Ime certainly not anywhere in europe (especially eastern) or asia (my experience there is only limited to Korea and China but I assume it’s similar). I think it might be just the US and possibly Canada

So many times I've searched some weird intranet hostname, or $megacorp_specific_lingo and found it in Slack, yet nowhere in our Confluence. Confluence is great for more long-form stuff, but it also gets stale. But the great thing with a slack message, it's mostly immutable, so I can see the date (a decent proxy for relevance). I don't have to peer through the edit history in Confluence to ascertain the age of the information on a document with a long lifespan and many edits.

What also happened back in the day was you'd get a history of your school in the back pages of the library books. You'd see names of people a year or two above that you might know, then their elder siblings, then names that might have left some art in the halls, or they are on a leavers' wall from a long time ago.
Yes, life sometimes sucks. It is also bad to have to commute for 1 hour or more when you're a junior and have no car, so what?

When you're young you will struggle with things, we all did.

P.S.: if you are mostly doing videocalls in your daily work, you may want to change jobs. You should be ok in a library and going out to some room or hall for videocalls. Sucks? Yeah, not the best, but better than the jail that you said is your room.
So, overall, fine. The few people that get hurt by this are the greedy VCs that invented this wasteful game, and the greedy founders who agreed to play it.
well hugs can be directional or mutual too.

two friends hug each other, mutually. a comforting partner gives their partner a hug, who receives it. a parent praises their child with a hug.

There's "need" and there's what we might want to do. I have lots of crowns and if my dentists could have cleaned out damage and made the tooth regrow instead that'd have been preferable to having to do more and more invasive repairs.

Modern dentistry has come very far, but it's not perfect.
> Miyazaki’s movies, with their warplanes and intrusions of Western décor and dress, keep circling back to the traumatic moment when Japan, which until the mid-19th century had kept itself closed off to the outside world, was forced to embrace the West and Western values.

This is downright wrong, the Meiji Restoration was when Japan absorbed westernization, not to mention their partial acceptance of Christianity during Imjin War, they were said to be the most open to conversion before suddenly persecuting the Jesuit priests, yet one of the daimyo (renamed Augustine) who was instrumental in the Korean invasion was a devout Christian and was said to have adopted a devout Korean Christian woman, who was certainly Christian enough to be persecuted and is worshipped in both Korea and Japan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Ota

I think what really stands to be underlined, in response to this article, is that this person is using literally 2 books to draw conclusions about the communist party.

This level of opacity from an organisation that controls 1 billion people are claims to have either the largest or second largest national economy globally is quite startling.

Is this the state of knowledge? Compare that to the scrutiny every single important US politicians gets. Kavenaugh was literally bringing out his childhood diary and grilled about his conduct from 1982; large parts of the debate on that are part of the public record for anyone to look up. There are radical differences of approach here.
That's a privilege that our architect/principal engineer enjoyed. Everyone knew that he was too important to bother, so people generally didn't ask him questions. He'd reach out to you if he needed something, and otherwise he'd scan Slack and code reviews once a day and that was all the comms you'd get from him. He basically delivered solutions, and then it was our job to fix, maintain, and support them.

I've started keeping my slack status off permanently in working hours. It discourages people from contacting me, but I imagine the effect will wear off with time, as people catch on. The bigger picture takeaway is Slack status is not synonymous with me doing work that delivers company value (eg: doesn't mean I'm afk gaming or whatever).

The expectation of 'always on' is draining. I withdrew from social media for this reason, and now I'm applying that lens to professional communication software, in an effort to enforce barriers a bit better.

Many people seem to use this as an opportunity to learn a new language.

I was going to do something fun, but gimmicky and try to implement them all in like SPL/2100 on an emulator running RTE, but quickly found I'd end up spending the month learning the latter.

I've been trying to think I've something, else fun to do or maybe use a language I've been itching to try, like Ada, but based on the first question it seems it'd just be boring to so in a language like that. I can think of a ton of other gimmicky solutions, but none that are very fun.
They were either failed businesses (if they couldn't have survived at all without becoming a worldwide phenomenon) or they were greedy (if they could have survived, but really just wanted it all).

I don't know how to put it without sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but I think eventually society really needs to reevaluate its attitude to science in general. Scientists have this elevated status, and naturally people try to exploit it. But everybody can call themselves a scientist, and even getting credibility by attaching to supposedly reliable institutions is not that hard anymore.
It seems to me people are not sufficiently aware yet of "scientific studies" being used as a political tool. Maybe if they read a news article in some magazine, they may be aware it could be ideologically tainted. For "studies", that seems to be much less the case so far.

Psychology also seems like an immediately scary example to me. I worry for example that "experts" can simply bypass the legal system by diagnosing people as "mentally ill" and having them locked away. Is there legal recourse for such a thing?
It's only been in the press that the BMW touch screen issue has mainly been on USA bound vehicle. I'm awaiting delivery of a G23 in the UK and have been told by the dealer that the car is in the UK but they are unsure if it has a touch screen chip as BMW haven't advised........so delivery delayed. If it has no chip we've been offered £500.00. I have touch screen on my Mercedes but tend not to use it, the hey mercedes voice app works fine for nav, phone calls, etc

I recently went to work in Germany (not Berlin). It surprised me how conservative the country is, in many ways, not just the use of tech. Its lack of tech is a reflection of that attitude is my impression. Unfortunately the pandemic has made it difficult to get to know people personally and study this in a bit more detail.
Only if the web3 app itself is entirely decentralized, doesn't implement any moderation, and never votes to change the above. I suspect they will quickly need moderation, and therefore it wont matter if your identity is irrevocable as the platform itself could easily block it.

I do see the value in being able to bring an identity around and store it in a blockchain, but... extreme fragmentation is a bummer.
Yes, we research it, we warn those who are at high risk to be extra cautious but we don’t spread FUD that everyone is going to get reinfected, that the vaccines are useless. You must be able to tell the difference between a cautious but reasonable approach and panic.

Your definition of "profit" doesn't seem to match anyone else's. If an organisation spends what revenue it has on its own operations, that is not profit. You might not agree with the way that money is spent, but that does not change the technical definition of a well-understood and widely agreed accounting term.
