Surely between one of their 8 messaging apps/teams they have the required expertise and patents? I'm not particularly keen on giving them any benefit of the doubt. They're one of the biggest, richest companies in the world.
"For the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God." Even if you're an atheist, that principle holds true. Be careful of anger as a response to the evil of others. (I say, having had that exact response just this morning...)
I don't know the true rationale, but if I remember correctly a Chrome dev provided some really dubious reasoning one the related issue tracker item, something like "someone could MITM the connection and change the basic auth message to 'please enter your YouTube credentials'". Well guess what, if I MITM your connection, I can provide a much more convincing HTML representation of the YouTube login page! I guess the grain of truth that was in there is that this is one of the few times where a server-provided string is presented as part of the browser's UI, but I am sure there are better ways to highlight that the browser is just quoting the server than outright not showing the message.

Edit: It seems like a dubious security report was the origin of this, not a developer: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=544244
James Shore: JavaScript Colors and the Corruption of Buy vs. Build
What we hope for is rather informing the public policy. Now, any time a scary looking variant is sequenced, there is some public commotion, uncertainty about the future repercussions. We want to be able to gauge the appropriate level of concern in these situations. It is not an all-knowing oracle, but rather a way to distill the insights from prior observations and simulations, the same way a human expert would do.
This being said, we believe that the insights provided by EWS can be of use in designing new vaccines, as well as deploying the existing ones most effectively.

This can quickly lead to "design by committee" or "too many chefs in the kitchen", where the result often feels watered down, may suffer from consistency errors, or may lose focus as each writer feels that some part of the story needs to be told differently or that one part needs to be emphasized over another.
Your descriptions aren't typical of the unvaxxed people I know. The unvaxxed people I know have, from the very beginning, been defiant against isolation, school closures, masking, and the vaccines. And most have spouted some version of "COVID is a hoax" from the very beginning, and continue to do so, even when what they say is incoherent. In 2020 "stay home" was supposedly a power grab. Now you claim you always embraced that message. #TeamHoax mutates as fast as the virus, it seems.

It's a massive logistics challenge and it would require an unprecedented level of cooperation between Saharan nations and given how unstable the region is as of current... I'm afraid it's not happening for another 30-50 years, when climate change will probably corner these countries or their rich neighbors living further north. That being said, Australia is a better candidate to this due to it being a single country and a very stable one at that...

Once Australia proves the concept, Africans can follow suit, and we'll build solar arrays over the oceans, and then we'll become a type 1 civilization.
As a european, I'm amazed and deeply irritated that forced labor to this day is part of the US prison system:

https://www.npr.org/transcripts/884989263?t=1641920153339

And I'm also irritated that in the US many convicts (not just inmates) lose their right to vote, a human right that in Europe you'd only lose for direct attack to the democracy (like the Jan 6 mob, or voting fraud, and even then only for a limited period of time).

I think your assessment of what is currently possible with nuclear technology is somewhat skewed. The time from start to plan to put in production of an old technology nuclear plant is seven years on average (which honestly sounds optimistic). Whereas utility scale solar can be deployed in half the time (which will likely be reduced because most of that time is permits and other legal requirements.)

All this is current tech for both. And honestly, solar panel and energy storage technology improvements are already coming down the pipeline whereas the next-gen nuclear has been "almost ready" for decades.
Yeah this is the technique I've also used.

> It's impossible to make binding long-term promises in a democracy. Voters are allowed to change their minds, and the risk that they do that and completely destroy nuclear engineering as a career option is always present.

That's true of any political system, the problem with democracy is more that it's invariably fickle. A dictator may also be fickle, but there's a least a chance he has a long term vision with a late payoff that he pursues for a his lifetime.
>I'm not saying who's worse, I'm saying we need to do better before we critic others.

But you ARE saying they are morally equivalent. In your own words, "the pot calling the kettle black". And...one of them is so insanely worse than the other that to dance around the issue like that is absurd.

If Hitler rose from the dead tomorrow and started another Holocaust, would you be against critique or action against it because "we need to do better about our flawed prison policy at home before we criticize others"? "Hitler just killed another million people in the gas chambers, but sometimes innocent people get the death penalty in America too, we can't criticize their concentration camps until we fix our problems at home"?

We're talking about the largest-scale detention of ethnic and religious minorities since World War II. Are you suggesting that we shouldn't try to stop a genocide because the US criminal justice system has some notable flaws and we need to fix them first? Am I understanding you correctly? Even after reading the part about the mass rape and sexual torture of an entire culture of people?
Frankly I wish philips head screws would just die off. They're so easy to strip, it's frequently hard to identify the right size bit to use (the wrong size will work until it doesn't), etc. If they all got replaced with torx or robertson heads tomorrow I'd be very happy.

Yes, I saw similar numbers (just not in empty projects, but I'm not familiar with Laravel/Lumen - there might have been a good reason for it).

The point is that Composer packages are far from being that granular, we have less dependencies by literally order of magnitude.
It’s funny to me that you’re getting a totally different interpretation from the same facts. When I hear that nuclear needs with the same massive investment, subsidies and decades-long R&D that were required to get renewables to the point were they are today, it’s completely clear to me that nuclear power is on its way out.
The 2 high level problems with this line of thought: Who decides what we optimize for ("vastly more efficient") and Is this something that "should" have a single target across a society or across the world, or is this something that individuals or groups should decide for themselves. This line of thought can very easily shift into "worlds super elite aim to commit genocide in order to save the planet".

I do personally wonder (in a sci-fi dystopian novel sense) if the worst case climate change scenario would just end up with 99% of humans dying and the 1% that survive in isolated locations becoming a more sustainable civilization until technology catches back up and allows humans to re-populate the world to today's levels (or just leave to mars).
I started on the other end (my first language was C89) and I am with you on types. Just being able to read a plaintext file and know what type every variable and parameter is just makes reading the code easier to me. My primary language is python at the moment, and I don't think I could continue without the type annotations that you can add in coupled with mypy (a static type checker that you can run on the cli as part of a build).

Every time I see a regular Map with nested maps, I get a little annoyed.
Solar panels do not require rare earth materials.
The US imprisons 5x as many people per capita as China and buys billions of dollars of products made by US prison slave labor.

They could start there.
In unrelated news, lowering nuclear to 50% of electricity is set as a political goal.

In other unrelated news, safely maintaining the current nuclear electric power would have required a massive buildup starting 10 years ago (to replace the reactors that are currently arriving at the end of their life).
I think the message is that one should use one's own agency, and not expect a hand-delivered message from God on what to do in each circumstance, in addition to whatever opportunity at deliverance one receives.

Or, viewed another way... If an obvious opportunity at reasonable safety is there, what gives one the right to demand that God show up to perform a dramatic miracle?

The Jim Keller interview is a wonderful example, listen to the first one. I don't want to re-listen to pull out specific time codes. The first time I listened I was actually interested, I wasn't listening with intent to create time coded indictment of Lex. If you are regular listener and you like his show, I doubt you would ever agree with my take even if I offered you all the proof in the world, because ultimately it's subjective. I say he remains silent and switches topics because he is dumb, but clever enough to be a good bullshit artist. You want to give them the benefit of the doubt.

So not "the UN" as you misrepresent, but rather: some operatives from some of the planet's most brutally repressive regimes (after the PRC, of course) -- specifically: Bahrain, Belarus, Cuba, Eritrea, Djibouti, Iran ... there's too many to list, but I'll just add one more: the DPRK -- get together and sign a petition denying the abuses happening in another country (China) which just so happens to be a big, rich, pal of theirs, and on top of that, praising its leadership to the rafters, as it were:

"We commend China’s remarkable achievements in the field of human rights by
adhering to the people-centered development philosophy and protecting and promoting human rights through development. We also appreciate China’s contributions to the international human rights cause."

And you're suggesting that we're supposed to take this seriously?
You nailed it: things aren't improving and that's the core issue to me. I was often met with, "that's just how macs works" or "it's not a problem for me" but I rarely got helpful suggestions.

Not really. The amount of targets that can be explored with JWST would take far longer than 20 years to image. And many targets, such as exoplanets or expanding novas, benefit from periodic reimaging with the same instrument.

I've also updated that section of the article, to provide some justification for my wish there, including a few more illustrative backing sources.
Reminds me of the Hedonistic Treadmill - whatever your environment, your brain adapts as the baseline and everything slightly below it is now disappointing while everything above it slightly elating. Usually this concept is used to explain why lottery winners do not seem to be all that much happier than the rest of the populace, but it applies here to:

Whatever is required to get media is the normal: You build little rituals around it, you have tiny little traditions in the friend group.

For some guy this is "getting into the old family beater to drive to the VHS-rental", for another gal it's "the Netflix ba-doom sound while settling into the couch" and I am sure they both could write a nostalgic blog post about it 15 years later.

On the one hand, this is aligned with the articles premise that we maybe have not actually moved forward in an emotional sense, but I also like the other, maybe Stoic side of this - the outside world and its offers matter way less than what you make of it in your head and heart :)
For one-on-ones, it should certainly be on. For team meetings, it's a personal choice. I have a feeling that having your camera on is better for your career growth though, since your colleagues would be more supportive of a human getting promoted versus your initials.
Pumped hydro has been viable for energy storage for decades and decades, running 70-80% efficiency. It's more efficient than most alternatives, to include compressed air, but it can't be dispatched quite as quickly.

The real problem is the fact that environmentalists tend to hate dams, especially large hydro projects, so there's a major political battle on top of finding funding for these kinds of capital-intensive projects.
I've never talked about "rules" or "intent" the way you put it.

I am simply saying how else do you describe the hand. The hand is for grasping things the rock is not. How to I ascribe this difference without using the word design or purpose because clearly the hand is much much more efficient at grasping things.

Sure you can use the hand for things it was not "designed" for like hand stands and walking while hand standing and if there was selection pressure your hands can evolve to be less hand like. But in doing such things you are departing from a "design."

Let me put it in a way that won't distract you. Your hand is efficient at grasping things by doing hand stands you are using it in ways that are not efficient. You are departing from the efficiency zone. There is merit in ONLY using the hammer on a nail rather than a screw driver even when the hammer was evolved with Zero actual "design" or "intent" and can one day evolve into something different.

Get it? So the same thing applies to not eating meat. By not doing so, someone is departing from the "efficiency zone." See how awkward it is to use "efficiency zone" in place of "design"?

I'd rather operate in my efficiency zone rather than push the boundaries of it just so that my progeny 1 million years later can walk on their hands. But that's just my personal take. My argument itself has no agenda other than to say that by not eating meat you are willfully departing from the efficiency zone. By being compassionate about the pig you are doing the same. And using the word "design" is just an EASIER way to express this departure from the "efficiency zone".
I think the parent comment’s question is more along the lines of “if Australia is so deathly afraid of Covid, why are they hosting an international sporting event at this particular time?”
It has to be cost-plus or no one would do something that has not been done before. Fixed cost is fine for something you have a grasp on production costs.

Long term benefits on being active on Stack Overflow
Let's ask some questions of yourself before we begin.
1. Are you the same person looking into stackoverflow.com when you are stuck somewhere or ready to help someone on your free time.

2. Why would someone help you with answers without any benefit, as they might have spent hours to solve the same problem which you have faced. Have you ever thought about these?

Stack Overflow Benefits

There are lot of direct benefits by using stackoverflow.com. Those are well visible on the portal as:

QnA thread

Jobs

Teams

Collectives

Learnings

Reputations

Badges etc.

But do you see the possibility of using your stackoverflow.com profile from a marketing view point?

Right, let's come to the real part.

There are numerous possibilities for developers to make money online, some of them are:

Affiliate Marketing

Blogging

Info Products

Micro Startups

Freelancing

Online courses etc.

All these are good, but Freelancing is one of the great opportunities. But the main problem is where/how to find the clients? And now that is solved by lots of freelancing portals such as:

Upwork

Freelancer

Codementor

Toptal

PeoplePerHour etc.

Now the biggest problem is how will you get the projects which are listed on those freelancing platforms. People think that, as a beginner to the freelancing world it is difficult to get their first project. But indeed it is not if you are moving on the right path. There are a lot of tactics to get your first project; one of them is, using stackoverflow.com profiles to market yourself while submitting your proposals. This is literally a successful approach from my experience.

Let's Have A Closer Look
In the past, I started my career around 2013, and I was very active on stackoverflow.com at the end of 2014 or early 2015 time frame. Soon I became addicted to it and kept searching for my favorite tag "django"and trying to answer all the questions daily. It really helped me to increase my knowledge as a developer, and it went well for a period of time. As an added advantage, I also earned 1000+ reputations there within a short span.

Then around 2 years later, I thought about making some extra income while working, and started exploring freelancing opportunities. So I have opened an account on Upwork and started applying to projects. But I understand that no one will look into my profile, as I'm saying, I have only 2.5 years of experience even though I'm confident to fulfil my clients requirements (I used to always submit proposals for building an application from scratch). A few days passed like that, and then I realized no one would trust me until they saw my work or how passionate I was. So I started putting my stackoverflow.com profile link on the cover letter and started submitting the proposals. Suddenly I started seeing some good results. I'm getting invitations to interview and finally end up winning my first project. This approach I have continued for quite some time, until I get enough reviews from my clients on Upwork..

Note: Once you have enough good reviews from clients, it's much easier to get the new projects.

Illegally detaining an executive is not an "atrocity". Violation of international norms, perhaps, but not an atrocity. Atrocity takes a lot higher standard than that.
It seems like the brownout should be publicized on the front page of github.com - or at least githubstatus.com ?

(Although I'm not an active git/github user, so maybe there's an even more more obvious place a naive user having issues would go to figure out what their problem is. Hopefully there's a helpful commandline error explaining the situation.)
Well, yes. You even have people like that right now (for even far smaller of a compensation).
It's not an America vs. China struggle as you put it. The "rest of the folk" around the world are not content with China's deliberate attempt to conceal, twist, and even completely rewrite the history either.

Yes, America has enjoyed its massive worldwide influence over the past few decades and it has definitely gotten away with abusing it's power at times. Much of it was because the flow of information wasn't as free back than as it is today, but it was also because America, for all its faults, really did at least try and do a lot of good as a "self-appointed world leader".

My opinions aren't exactly unbiased having grown up in South Korea (recipient of lots of good will from the US), but the situation isn't simply that America has lost its edge over China and is complaining - it's more that Chinese government is really aggressive in promoting their agenda and are much more willing to sacrifice certain ideals (freedom of expression, etc) to get there. I can say this as a person who have attended a secret Christian worship meeting in China: Say what you will about the US, but it's not China.
An interesting additional benefit here, is that rather than a brownout, you could just have a "soft cutover", where people can reenable the old protocols for two months. There's good reason for this:

- People who aren't using the old methods can turn them off now and leave them off, benefiting from the new security change sooner.

- People who need to fix something can temporarily repair their workflow at the time of their choosing.

- People who need more than 24 hours to fix their workflow can re-disable the old methods to test that they are now good, at a time of their leisure, between today and March.
