No, where did I say that?

Having clear regulation and forbid this kind of practice that apply to everybody, not just the poor.

A tax would not solve anything, it would just give a free pass to the wealthier part of the world to pollute and generate waste. The wealthy parts of the world are the biggest source of waste and polution in the first place.

It would also allow powerful companies to bargain between countries and continue playing the dog and cat game they've been doing. Trying to force companies like Apple or Gooogle to pay existing taxes is already a lost cause. Those companies don't care about it and would rather invest in avoidance schemes.

On the contrary, if you hit where things are sold, like closing a whole market like the EU until you abide to a regulation, like the one mentionned in my comment, is much likely to have a real impact, and would be much faster to.

An open source non-sql db is a tough business model. I mean, here's a simple question: Would you use DGraph? Would you pay for it?

With something like CockroachDB or TiDB I can easily say yes to that. The value proposition is clear.

I think Dgraph's DQL is a worse interface than SQL; there are some aspects of it that give me the heebie-jeebies.

> Russia is clearly in violation, not the USA

Of course. Nobody claimed otherwise. The argument made by nekcihc

with this agreement US has signed a trap, because apparently that also means, that US signed treaties are not worth anything

is not that the US is violating the agreement; it is that an agreement signed by the US (among others) has been continuously violated (by Russia) since 2014 so "US signed treaties are not worth anything".

Buying for over asking price is done all the time. I take it you know little about housing markets, sales, or any of this.

I've been involved in 6 house transactions in the past 2 years (a good friend is a realtor, 2 of the transactions involved properties I was moving, 2 were friends, 2 were relatives.) 5 moves f the 6 went for more than asking by quite a bit, for the exact reason that the realtor, wisely, knew the market prices and put them up decently below rates. This causes a rush of buyers who then start a bidding war. All were private buyers. This is standard practice.

Did you know this is how properties are sold?

Got any more non-evidence?

The title of the article and arguments in it are "If everyone were vegan, only a quarter of current farmland would be needed" - the numbers are about what is done now if everyone stopped eating corn and grass fed cows and factory chickens and ate plants instead.

You might also argue that if everyone ate more insects, reindeer, forest grown chickens, more fish, or alpine cows it would also reduce farmland use, but that doesn't make their calculations fatally flawed.

Jira isn’t nearly as bad as it’s made out to be, and I struggle to suggest any real alternative. The problem is that Jira do a lot of different things, and mixing those those things results in people having a bad time.

An example: don’t try to use Kanban board unless you’re planning on doing so in all project. Jira will happily show “kanban” tickets in the same overview as an ITIL incident, resulting in teams having to mentally switch between different workflows.
I might have missed something but it seemed to me that the author neither stated nor implied that Tolkien was in any way inaccurate.

I am against right to repair. If my phone breaks under warranty I have it repaired for free, and if it's out of warranty I will buy another one. I don't want a thicker and uglier phone just so it can be repaired more easily, since I won't be doing that, and I don't want companies to be forced to sell components that they don't want to sell.
> So why aren’t there a bunch of bands like the Beatles?

"Like the Beatles" how?

They were at the right place at the right time (that is, the time where pop music was starting, hence you had less granularity), and singing in the "correct" language to get a massive audience.

Further than that, they were lucky to not get broken up or faded out early.

This in no way diminishes their work, but it was a hole in one.

In a way it's kinda of a Fermi paradox of bands, except there's no paradox because nowadays there are multiple bands (at smaller niches) with several very competent musicians playing. Or "manufacturing" bands.

Is Max Martin a lesser musician than Paul or John? Probably not really and I don't like most of his songs.

Interesting...perhaps Walmart has gotten sick and tired of endless E. coli recalls of lettuce, due to conventional agriculture being utterly unable to get its sh*t together on food safety? Or - are they more concerned that climate change will make supplies of conventionally-grown fresh produce unreliable?

Very good point, though you're missing a layer of indirection in your thinking. I should have made my point more explicit!

Usually you would subscribe to a cryptographic pointer (the publisher's public key) whose value is stored in a DHT. Then the pointer can be updated to point to new revisions of the content/website. IPNS is a famous implementation of that for the IPFS protocol. So as a client you can seed a specific revision of the content, or all of them, or just seed the latest version.

I thought the design of the isolator with it's angled ramps was clever (watch the video at the bottom of the article). But as you say, there's no protection in the vertical direction. My time in California has been limited, so I don't know what the z-axis velocities and displacements would be like in a significant earthquake. Since they spent a non-trivial amount of money on designing this, I can only assume the consultants & engineers took that into account.
My wife is an ER physician. It’s a demanding job that requires a ton of focus, so most of her colleagues only work about 30 hours a week.

My two favourite questions to ask at interview are:

1. Tell me about a time things didn't go to plan and what you did about it afterwards?

2. Do you enjoy working here?

Of the two, the second one gives me the most useful signal. Every business has difficult times, so the first usually isn't too hard to answer, and they can gloss over stuff. The second one is more personal. Nobody can say no to that one. It's the way they say yes that's interesting.

Clausewitz and Sun Tzu are classics, but for epic battles closer to realism, I rather recommend the Total War series than Age of Empire.

Mainly, because in real war, troop morale is a main factor - and the best war tactics are those, that crush the enemies spirit and not their bones.

This is a main quote from Sun Tzu(from the back of my head): if you manage to route the enemy forces in panic, you gain more, than slaughtering them all.

Because they will spread the fear of your troops themself.

(but this part is not captured well in total war, as there you gain indeed benefits from high body count and enemy troops remain the same fighting spirit, even if they ran away in terror all the battles before)

> part of his skill was in lying to management

I once worked in the warehouse at a (unionized) manufacturer of printer's ink. I was told-off by the Father of Chapel (the union organizer) for working too hard. This was unskilled labour; so the skill I had to master was how to avoid being fired by management for laziness, while not getting told-off by the FoC for excessive zeal.

The traditional view has always been a combination of genetics and behavior factors, namely reading and other close up work during the age of 8-14 when the eye is still capable of axial elongation. The light intensity theory is a more recent development which has some merits, but more evidence is needed for proof.

After WW2, Canadian Inuits started to send their children to school for the first time in history and myopia became endemic from that generation onwards.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1956268/

And to put the source in context:

- This was before the age of computers and smartphones so screen time was much less of a factor.

- Inuits traditionally spend a disproportionate time indoors due to the climate.

- The schooling was likely shorter and less stressful than those found in places like Japan and Korea, yet the effects are just as apparent.

Similar rises in myopia rate was observed when daily schooling was introduced to many other places, but few occur on the same scale. Thus it is possible that Asians and Inuits are genetically predisposed to myopia and it took until the modern age for this to become a problem.

I agree. I do maybe 6h of clocked in official work, then maybe 2-6 additional hours of reasearch, tinkering, learning, thinking, taking random notes.

But those hours are very blurry and come in random high bursts („being onto something“). They’re important and effective for me but it’s difficult to categorize them or even track them.
>f my phone breaks under warranty I have it repaired for free, and if it's out of warranty I will buy another one.

This is literally not what right to repair is about. This is exactly what anti-right to repair lobbyists are saying. Right to repair does prevent warranties, nor does it require a change in how you make a product. It simply allows a person to repair their very thin phone if they know how to do so, or hire someone who does and is not "authorized" (but is a professional, and is capable) to perform the repair.

> I don't want companies to be forced to sell components that they don't want to sell.

This is about preventing companies from preventing other companies from selling parts on the open market. If you don't want to sell parts, fine. If your suppliers do, you should not be able to prevent that for the purpose of making repair impossible.
I agree. And I tried it too. In the end I couldn’t find anything else to do in my downtime. So I went home at 5 and worked from there. Got up early and worked before coming in. I work from home now so the above is moot now.
Sorry I thought you were genuinely curious, and not just baiting for a debate. I'm not interested.

It's not that complicated a concept. Even kids can understand it quite well and there's plenty of information available when you decide that you want to actually learn instead of trying to debate your way into confirming your own opinions.

> There's currently no mechanism for the state to charge these towns for this service

That's a poor excuse. The state police were underfunded and so they stole money from the bridge fund. They could have raised state income taxes or simply said "no" to the increased funding. Instead, because they couldn't charge people in Small town X for their police force, they charged the citizens of Pittsburg by giving them worse bridges than they paid for - to help small town X.
I think Nim has the same, IIRC.
And yet, modern academics are expected to have fluency in English even if it's a second language - academia has always required a lingua franca for obvious reasons, and English simply replaced Latin for that purpose (I think at one point in the early-to-mid 20th century a knowledge of German was required in US universities for some science and engineering subjects).

So most academics are required so spend a non-trivial amount of time learning a foreign language to very high proficiency, to the point of being able to read, write and deliver specialist papers in it.
They like to move their managers around to give them experience with different aspects of the company. This means ambitious managers do short term things to make themselves look good which really screws IT.
Just fine, if you're happy with approximately 1/4th the energy output for a given (manufacturing) energy input. And that's for the best case, for certain wind power installations. Solar is the worst, at about 1/15th the energy output for the same energy input (compared to nuclear). [1]

You totally should name the container classes after battleships.

Then you can truthfull say you deleted/sunk the Bismark.

I would suggest looking into proper wargames if you are interested in applying realworld military strategy or tactics: Gary Grigsby series, Combat Mission series, The Operational Art of War, Graviteam Tactics, and Campaign Series are all pretty solid simulation-oriented computer wargames. Total War is kinda ok too but in general most rts are going to be won by player APM and doing optimal builds (which work due to arbitrary game mechanics) and real world strategy wont really work out due to simplified mechanics and pace. For instance, most 'strategy' games don't model morale or spotting at all. To say nothing of operational concerns like equipment availability or condition.
My experience with timesheets is that they must add up to the hours you're paid for (full-time salaried work, not hourly consulting). That more-or-less guarantees that timesheets are made-up.

My first salaried job was as a salesman; we incurred expenses, which we could claim back. It was explained to us that the system was there to ensure that we weren't out-of-pocket; claims didn't have to actually be true, but you did have to have incurred the expense.

I fairly soon realised that this was a lie; the expenses system was really a salary-augmentation scheme, and you were expected to inflate your claims. Everyone was at it.
I am unsure what the purpose of this comment is, which apart from making the assertion that Beard is "routinely subjected to horrific misogynistic abuse online" merely consists of copy-pasted snippets of the article. Perhaps we can assume that the purpose is simply to include is this former component. One must wonder, however, how much of this "abuse" is merely criticism brought about by perceptions of shortcomings in her work (such as those outlined in TFA), rather than by any inborn prejudice.

Yeah, redis or similar are generally good and battle tested solutions. Celery and Huey use redis, as do many other task queue and scheduling solutions. The issue is then that you have to manage an additional deployment of redis. That’s not so bad if it’s a core part of your application esp if you’re hosting on a paas or major cloud, but it can make local dev and testing suck a bit more.
