And if the Eastern front hadn't existed Germany would have a lot more forces to fight against the channel invasion. So... nobody fought in isolation, the world always was connected, and trade and impact of what others did elsewhere always existed since there as no force field around any two parties to ensure they had a "fair" fight 1:1.

The US supported itself with Lend-Lease. Giving weapons to others ensured they didn't have to deal with a victorious Germany.

Quoting:

> David Glantz, the American military historian known for his books on the Eastern front, concludes:

> Although Soviet accounts have routinely belittled the significance of Lend-Lease in the sustainment of the Soviet war effort, the overall importance of the assistance cannot be understated. Lend-Lease aid did not arrive in sufficient quantities to make the difference between defeat and victory in 1941–1942; that achievement must be attributed solely to the Soviet people and to the iron nerve of Stalin, Zhukov, Shaposhnikov, Vasilevsky, and their subordinates. As the war continued, however, the United States and Great Britain provided many of the implements of war and strategic raw materials necessary for Soviet victory. Without Lend-Lease food, clothing, and raw materials (especially metals), the Soviet economy would have been even more heavily burdened by the war effort. Perhaps most directly, without Lend-Lease trucks, rail engines, and railroad cars, every Soviet offensive would have stalled at an earlier stage, outrunning its logistical tail in a matter of days. In turn, this would have allowed the German commanders to escape at least some encirclements, while forcing the Red Army to prepare and conduct many more deliberate penetration attacks in order to advance the same distance.

> Left to their own devices, Stalin and his commanders might have taken twelve to eighteen months longer to finish off the Wehrmacht; the ultimate result would probably have been the same, except that Soviet soldiers could have waded at France's Atlantic beaches.

Interestingly this American historian seems to believe Russia would have won anyway - with grave consequences for the West.

That example sounds like pinkwashing? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkwashing_(LGBT)

Whenever I see someone use “woke” as an insult… it’s been an inconsistent mishmash that matches what was called “political correctness gone mad” when I was a kid — stuff the user doesn’t like but knows better than to say plainly that they don’t like.

Of course, I know plenty of people who have used the word “woke” positively, in the same way I know people who respond to “X is PC gone mad” with “X & PC is just being polite to people”.

Hard to tell what the common current use is though, given the lack of social connection during the pandemic and living in a non-English speaking country. Online polls have a self-selection bias, but I wouldn’t know in which direction that bias alters results.
There were many democratic socialist countries, unfortunately socialism devolves into tyranny in less than one election period. For example Czechoslovakia voted for communism freely by its own volition in 1946, and the communists started killing people the same year. It's not an individual's fault - many new unknown people started ruthlessly competing for absolute power as soon as it became available. Similar process happened in the entire Eastern Bloc.
What if they had a chance to experience a life without addiction and then decide whether to live their life with or without addiction. Would they still choose addiction?

People might be happy with their life, but this doesn't mean that they wouldn't be happier with an alternative life. After they try the alternative, they could even think that what they had thought as happiness, turned out, was suffering.
Yes, that's clear. But also accounting scarcity a 3x price seems high.
Using Statecharts or FRP is completely orthogonal to the choice of polling vs. event driven.

No till people I follow (just few in USA and one in Ireland) ended up with adding huge amount of compost. Mulching with compost. Almost like starting with a new plot.
For this you need to import compost. Where I live you can buy compost as much as you want but quality varies. So I wonder how this can work at scale. Maybe using different no till techniques I do not know.
Yeah so about $5000 according to the article. 4 years of 3 hours per walk doesn't seem like a good ROI

One might also be a lie, which I think is problematic. If, however, your second reply *isn't* a lie you might as well tell them to signal your worth. However that's a privilege few emploees enjoy.

It would seem easy enough to ban proof-of-waste and encourage people to get on with deploying the alleged better technologies that never arrive. And many places have blanket KYC requirements which using crypto does not exempt you from.

The UK has banned crypto derivatives: https://www.fca.org.uk/news/press-releases/fca-bans-sale-cry... and Binance. I suspect further action is coming against unregistered crypto outfits marketing to UK consumers.
I came to know about the Marvel movie military involvement from a youtube video essayist. I don't know whether it's good or bad. It's somewhere in the middle probably. Also every other country does the exact same thing afaik. The opposite of this would be potraying everything about the armed forces in a complete negative light. Now that won't be liked a lot I guess. The important thing here I believe is people should learn to detect if something is a propaganda or not. And the problem now is that its very subtle. Most people with whom I have discussed already detect the blatant propaganda movies instantly. The subtler ones like the marvel movies are the ones which they are very suprised about.

_Clearly_ this is a software problem that needs technical fix. But it isn't. As the parent notes: "the tool doesn't matter. The team does"

Many times I have wanted to burn JIRA to the ground, but the fact of the matter is that if that happened, the org would simply re-create dysfunctional processes in another tool and then blame that tool.
Quoting from Wikipedia:
“ Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is an English adjective meaning 'alert to racial prejudice and discrimination' that originated in African-American Vernacular English (AAVE). Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for left-wing ideas involving identity politics and social justice, such as the notion of white privilege and slavery reparations for African Americans.”

I’m wondering what specifically you disagree with and why that is a cult?
You're absolutely right. However, I'm still struggling to believe that the woman existed at all, the entire story just sounds so made up.
I would agree if we were talking about normal situations, but I think protesting people will try very hard to stay connected - look at Belarus.
In some parts of Europe (Czechia specifically but I heard it worked similarly in other countries), the standard is two full calendar months, so usually about ten weeks. Some candidates request three months and the employer usually can wait.

Because the previous employer will also have to wait for a new hire, he will not want to let you out much sooner. It works the other way round as well. The employer can't fire you with a shorter notice period, unless there was some criminal behavior.
Can you point me to any resource that talks more about this ?
The parent comment is comment is British brilliant.
> For books authors generally get a percentage of revenue (with some caveats) which is even better.

Yes and it's very small.

Like less than 10%

You make more money by autoproducing.

Very few authors make money with books.

> Is that a necessarily positive outcome? Even if you don't believe that authors should have the right to excise creative control over their work

Please, stop using this false dichotomy and to pur words in my mouth.

You have to stop talking like what you're saying is true, what is true and what usually happens is Felix Salten that sells the story of Bambi to a movie director for a thousand dollars, the director then sell it to Disney, Disney wins 4 oscars and makes a pile of money out of it while Salten dies alone in Zurich few years later without even being mentioned in the Disney movie.

The English translation has also a complete different meaning than the original German one. Talking about creative control...

The story of the copyright of Bambi is interesting because after Salten death his daughter fought for the rights and after a few controversial rulings, her husband, that continued after Salten's daughter's death, won.

But that means two things

- nobody knows what the original author would have wanted, but others that never wrote a single line of the book claimed the rights

- with that ruling the US courts basically said that as long as someone renew the copyright, it can well be ethernal, there is no need to be authors, there is no right to creative control (which is granted BTW for being the author, that has nothing to do with copyright, you conflate the two things constantly) it's all about the money

In the end those holding the copyrights most of the times are not the authors, Disney wrote none of the stories that made him rich and famous.

So the rethoric about poor authors not being compensated it's completely fabricated, it's already happening, it always happened.

It's the "think of the children" of the publishing world.
I'm a long term user of RSS too, through Thunderbird of all things.
My one beef with it, is that it seems terribly inefficient, that potentially millions of client will poll the resources "to check if there's something new".
Potentially hundreds or thousands of requests per user, per day.
It'd be a lot nicer if it was subscription based, since the content-provider knows when there's something new, they can then push it to their subscribers when it is relevant (and do other neat things like slower rollout to avoid congestion and bad user experience).

It'd be kinda neat if email clients natively supported digesting RSS feeds sent as email, presenting the same user-experience, but without the polling.
All the reasons you gave are really bad reasons! Do you really think that it's fair and normal that someone gets a much higher salary than you while doing the same exact job (and let's assume, performing at the same level) just because she had another offer at the time of hire?? That's ridiculous. It goes even against the interests of the company itself as it's logical to think they might have other candidates like you who are happy to accept the salary offer and won't be able to leverage it to get another, better offer (if that happens often, clearly the company is just underpaying, but for the discussion about whether the difference in salary is justified by only the circumstances of the candidates, we assume that's not the case).
I think Persianisation of India occured mostly due to conquest by Muslim leaders from Persian roots (see: https://www.historydiscussion.net/history-of-india/invasions...).

This is different than Hu Shih's point about non-military cultural influence. Military led cultural influence happens by force. Non military cultural influence happens attraction to culture. Post-WW2 United States had both in combination.

Didn't know about Hu Shih otherwise, so thanks for sharing.
> There is no evidence the show was designed as an advertisement for the DGSE.

It is for me inconceivable that the DGSE did not think of the outcome before agreeing to be an active collaborator of the show, and act accordingly to it's own benefits.
This answer here is exactly why you should visit the landmine museum near Seam Reap. Because if you don't grasp how carpet bombing civilians in a country you're not at war with doesn't strike you as bad, you just really NEED to stick your damn nose in it. You need to see what it means to carpet bomb a country. To plant landmines and forget them there. Vietnam's socialism has never been Russian or Chinese socialism, by the way. Ho Chi Minh was a peaceful intellectual, who studied in France under illuminist and progressive mentors. I disagree with the basics of communists society, but the neoliberal spirit that opposes that has been way more detrimental to the world than what they were trying to fight.
These always fascinate me. Billing is hard but it also can’t he wrong. On the other hand it goes wrong all the time. How do we feel as an industry about this? Why can’t we get it right?
nah. you can have non-romantic accountability partners.

in fact, i'd say it's more the norm than the exception. (and often sort of emergent and far from the phrase "accountability partner", which is a bit formal)
> If it uses my data to help target advertising - so be it

What a great thing that data leaks and power abuse don't ever happen. /s

> What makes you think you can do better than a company with over 20 years experience

The severe decline in quality? I've been using DDG for a while now; in about 2 years I've looked at Google results maybe 5 times and was disappointed every time. If you think Google is the best you can get right now you're missing out.
Your argument is based on the assumption that a company with more experience cannot possibly be bested at what they're doing.

> google could implement site muting in an instant if they wanted

Google could do a lot of great things, but unused potential is worthless. Remember how Google got big precisely because they did what competitors could do but didn't?
Is it social anxiety or just anxiety in general? Nothing in what you wrote indicates the social aspect of anxiety. It seems that you just get anxious due to being in high-stakes, high-pressure situation - not because you're being in a social situation (do you get nervous and choke when at a party, or talking to a clerk in a bank? - these are examples of social anxiety).

If it's just general, and fully justified anxiety due to being in high-stakes situation where you have to think on the fly - my advice is that you just need to toughen up. Start putting yourself in situations where you're outside of your comfort zone more often - you'll feel anxiety similar to the one you experience during interviews, and will slowly learn to handle it.

As for the interviewing advice specifically - interviews are free, so you can just do a ton of them to practice. After you do a bunch of them, you'll be able to smoothly introduce yourself and talk about your past work, just thanks to having done that a lot in the past. But, also, practice doing it outside of interviews! Literally prepare to it like you prepare to a presentation you have to do at work. The part of the interview when you introduce yourself and your experience is basically a sales pitch and you have to work on your sales skills to pull it off well enough (You don't have to become a pro sales person, but you definitely have to say more than just "I'm a backend engineer". When I introduce myself during interviews, I generally give a 5-10 minute overview of what I did in my past roles that is related to what the interviewing company's needs).

Also, a nice trick during interviews if you're nervous is to just mention it. If you're visibly underperforming, say something like "sorry, I get nervous during those things" - this will remind the interviewer that you are in fact under a lot of pressure at the moment, and they'll be more likely to help you out if you're stuck, and be more sympathetic to your situation in general.
Very, very nice, pleasant to use, instructive. 3D exploration is uncommonly pleasant.

I would suggest, in order to increase the visual "information" (as opposed to a blurry landscape), to:

-- give the option to exaggerate the altitudes. Currently, mountains are evident but hillsides are almost indistinct from plains.¹

-- try more relief highlighting colours, like those in DerStefan's opentopomap.org in zoom levels 1 to 8.

Big ClickUp user and I feel you comment about it. It has become a massive UX mess. They really need to clean it up per "use case" or have toggles for users to disable UX features.

Too much is too much, and it's getting close to being too much on ClickUp.
Or just the fact that whenever there is an alien invasion, worldwide apocalypse or destruction, the effort to rebuild always starts from the USA. Every time I watch any of those movies I think "I wonder how Europe is faring..."
Sure! Here is a list of the most important ones (not in any particular order):

- The pull request and code review UI are more user friendly. Everything I need is within reach and clearly visible (build status, test runs, change suggestions, discussions, etc). Gitlab has most of it, but Bitbucket is far behind on this.

- I spend a lot of my "open-source" time on GitHub, so the whole workflow/UI feels super natural to me.

- Issues can track tasks, Discussions can track talking. This is great to keep things organized.

- Great (and simple) release page (recently they added automatic changelog generation from merged PR, which makes it even better).

- GitHub Actions. This is a game changer. It is a well crafted, well documented way of implementing new things in the project workflow. Being able to use a "random" action someone put up that does what I need is priceless. It's like using open-source libs to enhance my code pipeline (allows reusability, discovery, etc). This is also great for CI/CD.

- GitHub projects beta has built-in support for sprints, as well as custom fields (integrated with issues, which is awesome). Everything seems to orbit around the code (imagine coding some custom GitHub action, whose code lives in the same repo as my project, which reacts to the content of a particular issue).

- Issues (and discussions) use markdown and can embed images, videos, spreadsheet, etc, very easily.
I suspect something similar is going on with all the cop/crime shows that show the "hero" cops completely disregard the law and due process. This always happens in situations where all the viewers completely agree that it is justified, e.g. a clear bad/evil guy (we already know he did it) and a small child that has to be saved from a prison...

I think this is essentially suposed to make us conceive law enforcement as always right and doing everything to "keep us safe" even if they have to disregard the law. You can clearly see it's working in how many people unquestionably support the police.
The current oligopoly of the big three credit bureaus is a travesty and needs substantial reform.

That being said, abolishing the concept of a consumer credit report entirely is a terrible idea. It is a fact that different people simply present different risks to a lender in their likelihood of default. Having actual data about a person's previous repayment history is extremely predictive of their future default probability (with proper ML applied).

If you remove the ability to use data about that actual person's previous behavior then instead lenders will simply not provide credit or financial services to large proportions of the population whom might be credit worthy as they would be unable to determine if they are creditworthy.

Again, I'm not arguing for the status quo. A lot of reform is needed. But to ignore the reality of how credit underwriting works is foolish. One of the reasons that many developing countries don't have financial services for their populations to access debt is because they don't have sufficient data to do credit underwriting.

And debt is a critical tool to enable investment in the present. Used wisely, debt enables a person to borrow from the future to invest in the present, e.g. buying a car so they can commute to a nearby city and earn a higher salary.
