Maybe the people with the high incomes live in areas where the cost of having children is higher? You often hear about people making 200k at Google on here sharing a two bedroom apartment with a roommate. Personally lack of a additional bedroom in my home prevents me from having another child, and home prices prevent me from moving.
You're technically correct (AFAIK); genocide denial is not genocide apologia. But boy what a hair to split...

To those who aren't aware, Noam Chomsky vehemently denied Pol Pot's mass murder of millions in Cambodia.
it's tolerated by the west. The most effective way to punish regimes would be to:

- take away (arrest, freeze, whatever) the elite's real estate in the west

- same thing with other assets, banc accounts etc

- ban them from living in the west or going to the west on vacation, for medical treatment.

- ban their families from living in the west, their kids from studying there.

this is not my idea, you will find similar suggestions a hundred times in different forms on the Russian-speaking internet.

maybe there is no legal base right now to do it as described, but the alternative is broad sanctions that hit the small people harder then regime collaborators.

Interesting concept, though I think learning from whole-sentence translations is fairly difficult, because it can be hard to figure out how the words in the two versions correspond to each other, unless you already mostly understand them. A list of relevant vocabulary with dictionary definitions might be more helpful, but is of course more effort to produce.

Also, the language switcher feels pretty slow. Switching only one page at a time would probably be faster.
Russia does that by a completely legitimate request of country's government.

>Edge's translation of the Arnisia ameletita page is hilarious. I don't know Greek, so I have no idea how much of this is in the original—

It is. It's a recipe site, but this particular article was written during the period of austerity measures and protests, and has some humoristic references to the era.

Note that amelitita means "unmentionables", and those are basically the testicles of the animal.

This recipe however is for bovine "unmentionables", not arnisia (lamb) ones.

It does, actually. If the data controller is based in the EU then the GDPR applies regardless of where the data subject is.
You don't even need to die for that; I think a lot of people have experienced a situation at least once in their life where after a period of intense work or stress, or not long after their vacation starts, they got sick. I'm not talking about being overworked so much, but flu-like symptoms.

It's like your mind finally allows your body (and mind?) to relax, and it finally processes a lot of things it's been saving up. This isn't a very scientific comment, very anecdotal, but I believe it's not uncommon.

> Luckly, Linux and macOS never really could grow out of their niches to really hurt Microsoft.

"Kind of" (indirectly as others pointed out) - the Dotcom bubble from a systems perspective was based on "Put these words on your VC funding paperwork and we'll throw money at you: Netscape Enterprise Webserver, ATG Dynamo (or similar), Solaris 5/6/7 on Sun E250s and E450s, Oracle Database and Java". I was at a services company doing systems work for Java engineers and built countless versions of this stack; java code was written on Windows workstations and deployed to the Sun servers (this might help explain why Java is deployed the way it is - many devs just zipped up a directory, uploaded it and unzipped it remotely).

Then Blackdown JDK[1] entered the room and changed the game - it gained it's first release right after the Dotcom bust and turned that stack on it's ear; now you could use Apache, Tomcat and MySQL (because Java developers could run MySQL on Windows, it "won the war" against Postgres at that time) creating a way to survive in the money-vacuum years following the Dotcom bubble crash when things were very scrappy and people were looking to just survive the storm if they could. My services company had to lay off some 80% of employees because all the clients dried up during the bubble burst.

There was a shot right here to have Java production workloads run on Windows Server (NT etc.) since all the java devs were doing it personally, but running on Linux was a much higher performing stack at the time and of course pennies compared to the previous stack even in the kernel's younger years or paying for Windows licenses (and more hardware). Red Hat's IPO in 1999 preceded the Dotcom bubble, putting them in the right place to handle these workloads post-Dotcom as they had a mature Linux offering with a business plan to Enterprise minded shops (appeal to the business folks - save money, have someone to blame if it breaks). Techs loved it because we'd been doing Linux for a decade and here it was about to take over the server world, and Java workloads were helping make that happen.

Internet and computers are the most different from what existed before 1922, but already then everybody was familiar with telegraphy, telephony and wireless communications and various fiction works about intelligent robots had existed for millennia (starting with the Iliad).

Space travel was also present in many fiction works, the best known being several novels of Jules Verne and of H. G. Wells.

Antibiotics were a huge progress, but the concept would not have been a surprise for anyone, because searching for substances that one would ingest to kill the parasites causing various diseases was already a well understood method in medicine, e.g. like using quinine against the protozoan that causes malaria or organo-arsenic compounds against the bacteria that cause syphilis.

Even if already in antiquity some have supposed that many diseases are caused by very small invisible parasites, only during the 19th century the causes for most common infectious diseases have been identified. So also in this domain the differences between 1922 and 1822 are much larger than between 1922 and 2022.

By 1922, genetics was much better understood than in 1822 even if it was not known yet that it is based on information encoded in the molecules of nucleic acids.

I cannot find any domain of science and technology where the difference between 1922 and 1822 is not much larger than between 2022 and 1922.

On the other hand, in 1922 there was still a very large part of the human population whose life had not been affected yet by the progresses of the 19th century, e.g. who had never used a telephone, an automobile or a train, much less an airplane or a computing machine or a washing machine.

The main difference between 1922 and 2022 is that all the technologies that in 1922 existed only in extremely expensive devices or in experimental devices now exist in cheap devices that are used by most people and such devices have sizes and energy consumptions that are many orders of magnitude less than what could have been done with the technologies from 100 years ago.

The main progress during the last 100 years has been in practical engineering, with much less progress in basic science.

I remember some kids in HS were distributing floppies of women with bathing suits and some "optimized" viewing program.

On the computer lab computers, 8086's, it would take several seconds if not minutes to render on the screen, one line at a time. That gave everyone plenty of time to escape out in case a teacher or someone else walked by. And there was only sky and trees and stuff mostly on the screen at that point.

Later on, a year or so later, the typing teacher got a 6 new computers, 386s. The first kid to try them out to look at the bathing suit pictures found that the images rendered instantly and completely. He was so stunned by seeing the entire image way sooner than he expected, but also, I guess, seeing the entire image itself. He let out a "Oh shit!" which caused the teacher to turn around and see the contraband on the screen.

Student had his disk confiscated and was banned from using the school's computers for the rest of the year.

Times were simpler then.

Sure, one can say Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme because the definition of a Ponzi scheme is flexible. However, it's hard to deny that Bitcoin in not a bubble for the following reasons:

1. Prices are rising because of speculation

2. There is very little non-speculation use of Bitcoin (people are rarely using it for commerce).

3. There is no return on assets from Bitcoin. No yield, no dividend, etc.

Bitcoin could go to $1MM per coin, it's possible. But as a 'fiat' currency, it lacks the institutional backing of other currencies such as the USD. Plus, I would be concerned that nations with their own currency (US, China, etc) could smack Bitcoin pretty hard if they wanted.

Bitcoin is a really cool project/concept/social-experiment. But I do think there's some structural risks and I can't buy into some of the more evangelistic talk about it.

In theory the things that would make the "as much money as possible" in such a short amount of time would be some form of gambling. That could be traditional gambling, options, illicit activities (gambling that you escape the law), etc. However, these tend to have a low probability of working out.

So I think we have to define what level of probability you are looking for. Sure thing? Then maybe consulting. Possible with some follow-up work? Then maybe an app, SaaS, etc. High payout but unlikely? Then some type of gambling - options, crypto, traditional gambling, etc.

The barrier to move an hour and a half is less than moving across country, but it’s not insignificant. Your kids are changing school/school districts. You’re finding a new church. Your friends who you met for dinner each Friday - not going to see them but once a month now. Your relatives that you invited over for dinner every Tuesday - you’ll see them on birthdays and the holidays. The distance is too far to comfortably commute for more than a year. I did roughly half that same commute for 2 years and it was mentally taxing. And no, the engineers who are working 80 hours a week aren’t “normal” people who are all of a sudden going to start working just 48 hours a week.

Btw, the Intel engineers in Chandler aren’t the cause of Intel’s process woes. They’re world class. TSMC is hiring fresh new hires, from a generation that doesn’t yet know or celebrate hard work.

That's because these are knowable errors; you can't talk about a bug if you don't know it might occur.

Testing is not a panacea, by design you can only test for what you know and predict. In addition to testing, your setup needs to be resilient enough that unpredictable bugs can be solved quickly and won't lead to data loss.
Have you demanded Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd be charged for killing an unarmed woman? Have you demanded equality for the tourists, because previously AOC joined the Sunrise Movement at Pelosi's office:

"I have recommended to my House Democratic colleagues that we reinstate the select committee to address the climate crisis," she said in the statement. "We welcome the presence of these activists, and we strongly urge the Capitol Police to allow them to continue to organize and participate in our democracy."

>Splinantero so rare Google didn't even guess it from how you spelled it.

I has a typo in my spelling. Spinantero is basically a composite word for "splina" kai "entero", the Greek words that are the ancient etymology of english "spleen" and "enteric". And the recipe is exactly that, speen and other meet wrapped in intestines, and grilled with spices etc.

>Arnisia ameletita doesn't even have any non-Greek results at all.

Ameletita is literarlly unmentionables (basically "testicles"), and arnisia is means "from lamb". So this recipe is easy too (though the recipe site gives one for bull ameletita).
One of the things they told us in infantry school was, "if you get shot, don't die", meaning: don't immediately think that you're dead, because experience has shown that you might actually die from a survivable wound if you _think_ you're a goner.
Contention over mutable state is orthogonal to async/await in Rust. Proof is that they had the contention problem solved prior to async/await. Pure functional languages also solve the contention problem by simply destroying mutable state, without async labelling. A brute force solution, but a solution. async/await doesn't solve the problem of things possibly mutating things when you weren't running; you've turned over the thread of control, if your language permits mutation it can happen without you knowing. Rust solves that in other ways that have nothing to do with async/await, and its solution works with preemptive threading.

Rust has been able to thread since long before async/await was introduced. It was introduced because for some of the use cases of Rust the overhead was unacceptable, not because prior to async you had no options at all to have that sort of functionality.
Heart attacks in the first year after retirement are a thing too:

> How is Java not one of the biggest success story ever for a programming language?

It absolutely is.

Java isn't sexy, for the most part. It lets a lot of innovation happen in other languages, then takes the successful parts for itself. This is how we (eventually) got generics, lambdas, streams, and local type inference, for example.

Java slowly becomes more ergonomic, and that slowness - the slowness to change, not execution speed - is why it gets a lot of hate. Why use Java, when $LANGUAGE_OF_THE_DAY has $FEATURE_OF_THE_DAY?

What people fail to realize, what people fail to see the value of, is that this slowness means Java doesn't get worse. Java has avoided most unforced errors. It's not like C++, where the template language is both Turing complete and the fastest way to summon Beelzebub from the depths of his infernal pit, and where you need a team of PhDs to decide which version of `auto_pointer` actually works the way you think it does. It's not Javascript, where the framework your front-end lead sold you on last week has already been superseded by the hot new thing.

And you don't generally have to worry about compatibility. Until v9, you could take code written against the 1.0 spec of the language and expect it to run pretty much out of the box. And the changes post v9 honestly aren't that difficult to work through, as opposed to Python's 2 -> 3 split.

Java isn't the sexiest language out there, but it hits a very sweet spot, right in the middle of the "familiar", "stable", and "productive" Venn diagram. It's probably the second-most important computer language developed in my lifetime, after Javascript, and is without a doubt a smashing success story.
My point is that "unvaccinated" is a broad term that is including a lot of people with prior infection that you really shouldn't have been made to be concerned about. They are now more of a risk of infection for omicron, but so are folks who received double and triple shots.

> I think they’re lobbying (or lying about status) to let their unvaccinated children bring plague into otherwise vaccinated schools.

How much damage has covid (catching the actual disease) caused to children? How well do the current vaccines stop transmission when youre in a room with 30 other people for an hour?

> I believe they’re lobbying to force businesses to employ them despite them risking other people at work.

This is an interesting framing. You could also say they're lobbying various governments to not force companies to fire people for vaccine status, which as I've said is not as useful of a descriptor as everyone makes it out to be.

> I have yet to see anyone stand up and say “I have the right to be unvaccinated as long as I stay away from places where I have an much higher risk of harming others”. In fact all the evidence shows that they are demanding the exact opposite.

You're talking to someone who had a prior infection but has not been vaccinated. I test frequently, I wear masks (not that I've seen convincing evidence that they do much of anything at an individual level, but because its easy to do and it makes people more comfortable), and I stay home if I have the slightest of symptoms.

Something to keep in mind, especially with omicron: if you are vaccinated you can and will pass the virus if you are infected. You just probably won't die or be hospitalized yourself.
