Can only speak for German degrees and while the first part of your answer is correct in spirit, the second one is kinda off.

You can have the exact same curriculum and be called engineer or not be called engineer, depending on the university. You can even learn nothing related to engineering and have an engineer title, or the other way round.

I'm not saying you're wrong (especially the first part), but there's a lot more to it, especially in countries where 'engineer' is a protected name/profession.

Personal opinion: I don't care. My degree is "Computer Science", not "Computer or Software Engineering" and I see myself as a Software Developer (although I will allow programmer)
What makes you think it's denim? I would say it looks quite similar to the trousers the others are wearing (especially the ones of Whitney Oates).

Solely going by the timeline described in [0] it's rather unlikely that these are denim.

> Apple decided to do their own thing and call it texting instead of just making their own entire messaging system.

They did make their own messaging system. Their Messages (née iMessage) is entirely separate from carrier provided SMS/MMS. It's accessed via the same application as SMS because on early iOS they only supported SMS. The Messages/iMessage features were added to their existing application.

Saying "this is texting plain and simple" ignores a ludicrous amount of complexity about the underlying systems. There's nothing plain and simple about text messaging systems. If you're going to bash Apple for supposedly creating problems at least familiarize yourself with the subject.

I think many a real court would (however much it conflicts with certain idealized views of court operation) in different ways depending on whether the issue before it was Amazon seeking to exclude the use as unauthorized as a basis for breach (either seeking damages or seeking to avoid damages for cutting off the entity using the software in a CDC certified zombie invasion) or the some other party seeking to use the fact that it was an authorized use of Amazon software to make a product liability claim against Amazon for harms resulting from such use.

It's not quite the same. Calling a cruise missile an unmanned bomber does not match the effect.

A cruise missile gives you one big bang, enough to ruin a runway. Drones on the other end can keep buzzing in the sky for hours, and destroying whomever still tries to take off, or repair the runway.
I want to say the opposite. The truth tends to win on the long run. On the other hand, allowing institutions to simply censor whatever it does not like by pressing a button never ended well.

That's not a great take. Not only do they understand the internet and the request seems to be formulated in a way it can be restricted to Germany, they also know the same pressure worked in other cases. For example Twitter knows which of their users are Nazi sympathisers - they're currently marked as such so that they're not displayed in Germany where it's illegal.

In other countries it seems it's more profitable to accept them...
In my region we always called softies lightweight engineers, although that term is proposed to be claimed by engineers in the field of energy and resources. I think it is still a good fit. Engineer is a very broad term, the knowledge of electrical and mechanical engineers overlap to some degree, but the focus is very distinct.

Otherwise engineer is just a title too, so I guess it is mostly meaningless?

You could, but it would likely be against the intent of the contract. Note that it also mentions "or successor body". So a smart contract would still be worse in this scenario.

For this kind of event I don't think it's possible to define what "successor body" means. If the US government falls, is the "New United States" body "US Centre of Disease Control" a successor body? If CDC (and its private keys) gets nuked as part of containment, is the spinoff "US Centre of Zombie Prevention and Control" the successor? Maybe. Depends how the role of CDC was split up in the new world.

Is it an easy question? No. A court will likely have a hard time doing the right interpretation. But with smart contracts it instead becomes impossible to achieve the goals intended by all parties involved in making the contract.

(Of course laws can be enacted and dictate a given interpretation, too, saying e.g. that any contract clause preventing use by the military against zombies is void)

And so it goes for all smart contracts. A smart contract can bring back slavery. But slavery is illegal. Now what?

Nothing prevents to peer review an investigative article. Clinical trials are complicated and reviewers were probably professionals who have at least some experience in clinical trials.

In fact, if something like that actually happened, it's likely a court would interpret "viral" more in the sense of "going viral" -- i.e., something that spread widely and quickly, as opposed to something that was spread specifically by a virus.

> I'm interested in a link to where Madonna (in her prime in the 80s) can't hold a tone.

https://youtu.be/KrG8okV9R3w?t=724

The early Madonna stuff is really easy to sing, and she's really struggling. She has no control over her breathing and does the usual tricks to compensate: finish early and let the background singers take over, vocal fry, "squeeking" and other kinds of ornamentations to avoid holding notes. She clearly has had no formal training whatsoever at that point.

Which is fine. As I said, this is pop, good singing is overrated, other stuff is much more important, and I actually vastly prefer Madonna over Whitney Houston any time of the day.
I highly recommend reading about this first before reacting.

> Disagree. I don't like either Scala nor ES - but "const" is really confusing. It implies that whatever we store is constant, but it's not. I can store a mutable object and it changes whenever I want - only the reference is constant.

That's the meaning of const in C++, C and a few more languages. In most other language, it just means that the reference stored in the cell corresponding to the variable is a const, just as you say. I don't think that's too bad, except when switching languages too often.

> Scala is really lacking a way to easily support structural typing like typescript does. ES clearly wins here, since in Scala you have to define the case class in advance. And while you can just use maps, you give up typesafety.

Scala has great support for structural typing. (One of it's main advantages IMHO), e.g.:

def callSpeak[A <: { def speak(): Unit }](obj: A) {
// code here ...
obj.speak()

in the UK, where the journal is based, I think the libel laws would more than cover 'a law which bans this'.

English libel law permits individuals and companies to go to court to defend their reputations against the harms caused by false and defamatory publications made by others.

Since the statement that this is misleading, and a 'HOAX CLAIM', it would fall into "A statement is defamatory if its publication has caused or is likely to cause serious harm to the reputation of the claimant."[1]

I don't know, I don't think I'm listening to a lot of "genius music" and the things I like most are usually not played by some guy on the street. (Metal and EBM, or electronic).

Also in my experience the correlation between "likes music" and "likes to go to concerts" for people is not direct.

One more point, I'm one of those people who are not heavily into improv, so if the band is performing a version of a song I like that is very different from the album version there's a good chance I might dislike it. I'm not proud of that and of course they're free to do what they wnat with their music, but I like "a live version of the song" and not "a live reinterpretation with everything different", maybe that's also why I dislike jazz.

But the big question is if there is an agreement or "understanding" or something that Google only pays as long as Firefox doesn't become a threat, i.e.:

- don't fix the plugin ecosystem

- don't fix theming

- don't get too far ahead technically (i.e. a good reason to get rid of the servo team)

- don't claim too much authority (i.e. get rid of MDN)

Of course this is wild speculation and mostly in jest.

> the belief that physical violence has a legitimate place in democratic processes.

That's not exactly the point, though. We are not in a democratic process (unless by democracy you mean giving away powers to congress), and our society is very violent towards the most vulnerable segments of it.

Do you think giving back just a tiny portion of that daily violence we face is immoral or wrong? How is it justified for people to threaten us with guns if we don't pay rent to some arbitrary landlord or to detain us if we dare steal food for basic survival, yet attacking bank windows or punching an actual genocidal nazi in the face is seen as violent?!
You still automated it. And if you’re the vendor, win win.
Taking an even wider swerve...

Listen to "One After 909" from Anthology (or the 1963 'bootleg' release).

Then listen to the version from Let It Be.

"Production" such as it is is, I'd think, 'minimal' in most senses - there's some mics in front of singers and amps. One was outside, one inside. But the sound is different. The performance is definitely different in 1969 - so much looser, relaxed, and more accomplished. In some ways it's hard to think it's the exact same band a mere 6 years apart (yes, excepting Billy Preston added keys in 1969).

I'd always wished they'd have re-visited a few more of those early ones (originals or covers), just to get that sense of development, progress and transformation in such a short time. It's interesting that we ended up getting at least one song captured so 'far apart' from itself.

about limitations, configurability, free software, and open source software on their devices. You cannot even test websites you develop properly on MacOS (including what happens with blocking solutions in place, as MacOS limits their capabilities). Also browsers do not have the same right like on other systems. Only Safari has, which is not what you should test with. It is ill suited at least for web development.

The issue is not whether Facebook, as a private company, can filter whatever it likes, but whether it does so reliably and truthfully in a way its users can trust.

Facebook can indeed decide what to filter, but its also permissible for other organizations to make users aware that Facebook may filter and display misleading messages based on inaccurate fact checking and that the fact-checking organization that caused the filtering defamed a reputable publication by falsely alleging that their content is a hoax.
Linux 5.17 Making It Easier to Build a Kernel with new Debug Features
What I use is an old PC running a NextCloud instance. It has an SSD for the OS and the data sits on a ZFS pool made of two HDDs in mirror mode. I chose ZFS because I was worried about silent data corruption (it happened before in my large photo archive even if it isn't nearly as large as yours) and because when I set this up, there was still a lot of discussion on whether BTRFS was reliable or not. If you wish to replicate this now, I think you should re-evaluate BTRFS (assuming you will be using a Linux distro).

For the cloud backup, I think that you will be saving money by using backblaze [1].

As for the solution for posterity, if you're worried about the possibility of next generations not being able to pay, the only solution I see from the top of my head is to print the photos. Given the amount that you have this would be a daunting task, so only print the ones that you find the most valuable and look for a "safe and stable" (whatever this means... :D) place where to store them.

I hope that at some point we get to see an in-depth business case study of Pfizer and how they’ve been so successful out of the pandemic. They seem to have an unbelievable grasp of the science-marketing game and how to navigate it successfully at scale.

Without getting too far into controversial territory, I’ve observed that

- Out of many competing vaccines, Pfizer was always the “cool” one, in both scientific and lay circles

- The vaccine has caused a significantly higher number of cardiac side effects than initial studies reported, which has just sort of been swept under the rug

- It’s failed to stop the pandemic in any meaningful way

And yet

- You still won’t read this in most mainstream media, and still can’t mention these things in many social contexts

- Governments around the world are still pushing Pfizer/Moderna over all other vaccines (hear about AZ recently?)

This article is another example of how their marketing machine is working for them.

If I ran a multimillion dollar company in a highly regulated industry, I’d be taking very careful notes of him how Pfizer is playing this one.
