For crying out loud… I thought that “Now, clearly this is intended to be offensive and not something that I genuinely believe…” (emphasis added) would be sufficient to avoid this. Likewise in another response where I am asked: “You don’t see a difference in authoritarianism [between this British behavior and that of the Nazis?]”, clearly I do.

The joke – regardless of whether it is to your liking – uses the ingredient of the high degree of pride many British still take in (rightfully) standing up against the Third Reich and defending liberal values; contrasts this using a massively exaggerated satirical equivalence to the failure to stand up for what I believe to be those very same values in the present day. As another poster pointed out, the fact that this is an obvious exaggeration is precisely why it is a joke and not an attempt at a political essay.

I am reminded of how at the end of Stewart Lee’s wonderful satirising critique of the culture of the TV show Top Gear, where he faces the camera and explains that, no, he in fact does not wish that Richard Hammond would be dead [1,2].

I think it's more about potential trademark rights and the current userbase, who have built a habit of returning to the same page daily.

Surely part of the deal includes at some point setting up a redirect from there over to the NYT-hosted incarnation.
No. Your cites don't support your claims at all. Fauci said (then backtracked) that the UK rushed the final regulatory approval of the Pfizer vaccine. Not that the vaccine production and testing had been rushed nor that that the US had rushed anything. And certainly not that there was actually anything wrong with that particular vaccine or any other vaccine that got approval. He was merely expressing surprise that there wasn't a redundant government review of data as there was in the US.

> RTFM is really a struggle, and instead I do better learning through a million smaller pokes that slowly build familiarity (e.g. videos + playing with actual code, even if you don't fully grasp it).

You know, I never thought about it but this really rings true for me. I'm the same. I think sometimes it's an advantage to learn this - the mental model I build can be very different from someone who RTFM
Better question - will this help spammers get past the spam filters?
That's just stupid, the operator could just as well connect you to the people taking car of non-emergency situations. They are still the police and one would expect them to at least try to help
A hybrid conversion would be ideal, if this motor could also act as a generator. It seems like it's small enough to fit on the tailshaft of a regular transmission; or perhaps even several of them.

I think that amount of power, although for only 20s, would make for a fun Tesla-beating hybrid sleeper.
I haven’t used ALE in a while, and my colleague who uses vim uses CoC, but as far as I understand, rust-analyzer should “just work” with ALE. You may need to install rust-analyzer (via cargo) and tell ALE to use it, potentially? There’s an older and not well maintained language server called RLS. I would be surprised if ALE defaults to that one, but that could be part of why you aren’t getting great tooling out of the box if so.

I did find this blog post, which seems to suggest there may be a bit of extra config required to get rust-analyzer going with ALE: https://petermalmgren.com/rc-batch-day-9/

Good luck!

for sports betting and prediction markets, the main limitation is the size of the bets possible, which is pretty boring after 5 figures

so even if your bookie was pointing their oracle (api results) to a blockchain to dictate payout conditions of a contract, its still about the size of the pool based on other participants, which would probably be limited, at least initially
Yes very similar, thanks for the reminder. So it’s four platforms in the end (Browser, Backend/Node, Android, iOS).

> My interpretation is that no one uses REST properly (ie, HATEOAS).

Agreed that everyone ignores the HATEOAS clause of REST, even when they call things "RESTful", but that's because the HATEOAS clause is tremendously stupid. I don't know why it's so common for narrow-minded intellectuals to decide that the reason the world is so complicated is because nobody has sat down yet and decided to make it simple. No, the world is complicated because reality has a surprising amount of detail [1][2]. When one person (or worse, a committee) sits down and decides "this is the way all of the world's information will be organized from now on" (HATEOAS, the "semantic web", etc.) they envision automated tools that can browse information the way Web Browsers browse the web. But as complicated as HTTP, HTML, CSS, JS, CORS, SVG, and now WebAssembly are, they are dozens of orders of magnitude simpler than "all the information anyone might ever want to make available over an API". Writing hypertext that can be understood by a tool to digest how your API should be consumed is just not possible. It doesn't work for people who are new to the API (they need to read the docs no matter what), and it's useless overhead for the people who use the API all the time (the hypertext is delivered with every request!?)

People don't use HATEOAS because HATEOAS is stupid.

The problem is not the engine, it's finding a place to securely mount the batteries that won't interfere with the crash safety systems. Hint: that would cost tens or hundreds of millions per car model if it's even possible. Conversions aren't going to be mass market.
I feel like you're describing my experience.

I'll add webfonts to that. For me uBlock disables them everywhere (because that's not what they're for) and it's good to see how by simply missing a font (which can always fail to load, not just by deliberate blocking) you can't use pages because the icons aren't there and the buttons aren't labeled in any other way.

Such a page immediately falls into DNS blocking - I won't bother just because they don't know the basics of web development...
“wet blanket” works pretty well in my experience.
The table limits prevent serious losses from card counting. Information has a cost. So long as the maximum bet isn't large enough (relative to the minimum bet), on average even a perfect card counter will lose money.
Tt appears to be a pretty sound review of evidence, and then a discussion and conclusions section where the results of the review are interpreted and implications are discussed. Seeing "sad" appear in an abstract is sort of unusual. However in the discussion in the review the arguments about morality etc are a bit more sophisticated, but I reckon it isn't too odd to have a value claim on the implications of the review being unfortunate, since they have real implications for human wellbeing. If the same sentiment was couched in normal amounts of academic jargon, you would likely not have noticed.
+1. While some companies might be abusing the system and using it to get cheap foreign labor, the US also gets highly talented foreigners to work for its companies through this immigration system. Companies pay these talented people exceptional compensation because they want top competitive people to work for them. It is hard for them to find a large pool of similar talent locally (not that American workers aren't talented, but it's just that as skill and talent increase, the pool keeps on getting smaller).

Highly skilled foreign workers are America's competitive advantage to the world. Now other countries realize it, which is why countries like Canada reformed their immigration system a few years back to invite skilled foreign workers by offering them permanent residence. Canada is now poaching people San Francisco bay area, offering them PR even if they don't make the cut-off in their point-based immigration system because they know that if they want to be the tech leader in world, they need this foreign talent pool.
This article is desperately in need of some examples. I can't believe there isn't one.
This sounds a lot like ‚hide my email‘ by Apple. I’m still concerned what is happening with my data.

With apple, I believe the illusion that it’s not necessary for them to sell my data.

Do we have similar insights about duck, besides our believe they won’t sell our data?
That is definitely an interesting application for cancer.

As far as aging though, I would take it with a grain of salt. Strangely, aging doesn't seem to be caused by accumulated DNA copying errors.

Otherwise, each generation of humans would be genetically worse off than the previous generation.

The quote below came to mind.

"Imagine how many times DNA has been reproduced, not just during your lifetime in your own body but since human life began! To understand how amazing this is, consider what would happen if you used a photocopier to copy a document and then used the new copy to make the next copy. If you did this repeatedly, the quality of the copies would deteriorate and eventually become unreadable. Happily, the quality of our DNA does not deteriorate or wear out when our cells repeatedly divide. Why? Because our cells have many ways of repairing DNA copy errors. If that were not true, mankind would long ago have become a pile of dust" - Source: https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/g200605/Why-Do-We-Gr...

> The degree gap is usually quick to be bridged, via this common anti-fallacy called "slippery slope". Give it a few more years.

That's kinda a silly argument, given that free speech rights have generally increased in the UK in the last few decades.

Slippery slopes are good to be aware of, and hope to avoid. They aren't inevitable. Things don't progress constantly towards the worst possible state.
Too low? Meaning there's no room for people to make money as what installers? How does the price being low make it less likely to become a thing?
> I never said I'm entitled to the entire web for free. Don't try to make it seem like I'm brazenly pirating my way across the internet. There are plenty of services behind paywalls and subscriptions that I choose to support with my actual dollars.

Great. Then, if you are a principled person and do not agree with the way advertising is being used on the 'net, don't use anything other than what you pay for. That's the morally and ethically correct stance to take.

What ad-blocker users are saying is: I don't like advertising. I am still going to use your work product and I am not going to pay you a dime for any of it.

Well, that's wrong.

> If it all burned down tomorrow, nothing of value would be lost.

I don't think you have a good sense of the scale and breath of what online marketing supports.

Simple example: https://www.webmd.com/

They have ads. Blocking them would mean the service would suffer and maybe even shutdown.

There are millions of sites like that, where valuable content or services are offered. I belong to several manufacturing related forums that would not exist were it not for their ability to monetize the hard work required to keep them going. I personally know a couple of people running these sites. They work 16 hour days, seven days a week, to keep their communities going. It's very hard work and it is very, very far from "nothing of value".
Here in Norway I think "Pepsi Max" was the gold standard for years while diet Coca Cola mostly sold because of the brand name.

Then something happened: Coca Cola launched Zero and after a few iterations it tasted good! Meanwhile Pepsi Max always yaste stale now since the start of the pandemic or something.

I don't really know what happened and it could just be my taste changing but I don't think so.
I think that is the recommended approach, but I just read the lecture notes and started working on the assignments. I tried to prioritize coding because it helps me retain knowledge better over time
Healthcare pricing is regulated and effectively fixed in all modern economies except for the US.

The same goes for rent controls which are ubiquitous in most of Canada and Europe.

And where is the 'black market' for these vast economies?

These ridiculous references to 'communism' are an intellectual canard.

There is no such thing as a 'free market' - a market is a dynamic equilibrium of the balance of power. This becomes a problem when power is asymetrical, i.e. in monopoly, or monopoly-like situations such as 'sole provider of a drug' in which case there is always regulation.

If the 'free market' were fully effective, Phizer would be selling vaccines at Wallgreens instead of via the US Gov.. But it's not, and so we're not, because it wouldn't work as the 'profit maximizing' price point for the vaccine is way above what most people would be willing to pay.
I am not sure how people do not have even slightest intuition about overdosing something. There are quite strict limits to everyday over the counter medicine. For example you should not take more than 1000 mg of paracetamol at time and not more than 4000 mg a day. Would the same people who think that it is normal to take 5 times in a row the dosage that is mostly prescribed for several months also take 20000 mg of paracetamol when somebody claims that it will cure covid?
I don't think the parent is suggesting the police be militarized; rather that they could look to the US military's experience in combatting organizational racism and improving both professionalism and cohesion.

The US military has had its share of scandals but I have yet to see that degrade the normative US opinion of our "soldiers," namely that they do a hard job on our behalf and deserve respect and gratitude for that.
It does! (less water, so less hydrolysis) "name brand" syrup however isn't particularly economical at retail however[1]. Not too surprisingly there has been a rash of restaurant bankruptcies during the pandemic and so buying "used" soda fountain gear is actually pretty easy (at least in the western US) these days. I actually have an Elkay "water machine" which does carbonation (as well as chilled and not chilled still water) although its carbonation chamber is too small to give a good fizz like the commercial units do. (more Perrier like, less fountain soda like). That said there are also relatively few powder mixes that take into account carbonated water. There was an AWESOME Grape Crush one (that was sugar free) but since it tasted poorly when mixed with still water it was discontinued (having a soda water tap is not the normal situation).

One of the more interesting ideas (and also impractical) are the "mini-syrups" that are used in the multi-beverage dispensers with the touch screen at places like Movie Theaters. Good luck getting hold of those. I briefly had a line on getting them from a local AMC because I knew the manager who wasn't averse to re-selling them to me at cost but she changed jobs when the pandemic made theaters non-viable. The existing Coke branded dispensers are so loaded up with various DRM/telemetry that even if you can get one at auction (which you normally can't since they are leased, not sold) it would be quite the reverse engineering process to get it to work "disconnected" from the Coke network.

One extrapolation is: this is what is happening with Bitcoin and the US Dollar. Got to do some mental gymnastics but it makes sense.
They finally did it, I remember on YouTube watching videos of a man at some kind of trade show who claimed you could build car motors that were roughly the size of a soup can and far more friendly for the environment. Always thought he was a crank, but I guess not.

You don't go back to luck based, you stay skilled based, but the only skilled player in the room is the house.

Baseball is a game of skill. So assume the Yankees could ban every skilled player who beat them. They make bank beating little-league rookies. It makes sense to keep the competition at that skill level.

Obviously we're referring to games like Blackjack here, not roulette, which are not purely random.

I’m not an electrical engineer, but aren’t there a couple of core features that all electricity has, like ohms law? Surely we can figure out how an undocumented old computer functioned from a couple of electronic components, if we identify which parts are the resistors and which are the transistors.

I'm young so maybe I don't remember what the glory days of rare were but Rare with Microsoft produced Viva Pinata, banjo kazooie nuts and bolts, and sea of thieves. Sea of thieves did have some trouble at launch but it has grown into quite a great game. Viva piñata is highly revered and nuts and bolts is also loved, even if it wasn't a banjo kazooie platformer.

I've come to realize this isn't always a mistake on management's part. I work at a company where developers use the full day to get tasks done because there is so much on our road map. There is absolutely no slack, when something new comes up, something else needs to drop.

We are hiring, but now I spend some of my time training them. I've seen friends work for companies that keep some % of their experienced developers time idle so those devs tackle issues that might pop up.
Even with an e-conversion you will often have to address the ECU in some manner. Even if you have a full standalone EV setup you will likely still need to integrate some portion of the body harness and fool the rest of the car. Bolting in the crate EV parts will be pretty trivial, the wiring etc is going to take time.

A smart company will come around one day with a targeted selection of cars for a "plug and play" wiring harnesses and control units.

I started using yggdrasil yesterday. The ability to get a static IPv6 address on a meshnet, with encrypted traffic by default, and the option to only accept inbound connections from public keys I trust is incredibly cool. Just like that I can access any of my devices that run ygg from anywhere using standard tools like git or ssh (or git-annex). It makes it really easy to network my devices together without having to screw around with split tunneling a wireguard server and create a DIY set of services to, for example, remotely manage my devices or sync things from one to the other, and that's just for starters. Feels like the Unix philosophy actually being useful for once.
Depends on the powder. The "Wyler's Lemondade mix" powders do fine with the carbonated water from my Elkay machine (not that they taste as good in carbonated water but they do work). I know there were powders that added fizz to still water to make them more soda like and those would be a problem on water that was already carbonated.
I thought so too and tried to check the sources, which were a mess. I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt and say they are probably in the ballpark
The impulse to increase bureaucracy comes from risk-aversion, but you always have other forces to balance. For instance cash transporters are risk averse, but they haven't build secure underground tunnels under every shop and ATM.

Ever increasing bureaucracy probably doesn't come from ever increasing risk-aversion, and more from a dysfunctionning in the balancing mechanisms. Basically it needs to benefit a large portion of the system to keep creeping up.

Thank you. In my experience, policing extends into a number of mundane areas of life, few of which are life threatening emergencies. People can get police called for vomiting in the road, illegally selling sandwiches, or having a radio on too loud.

It’s true that perhaps my situation as described to the dispatcher might not have met a certain threshold, however, it would’ve made sense for them to ask more questions and give guidance as in general people have a bit of adrenaline when calling and might not be in the best shape to give a clear description. Immediately dismissing such scenarios could lead to some harmful results.
I do the opposite, but for the exact same reason. I couldn't figure out how to use Lutris at all when I first installed Linux, but I happened upon a very detailed guide for setting up a wine prefix (it's just a folder) for the game I was installing. Now when I install a new game I mostly just scroll back through my shell history to see what I did back then.

I just opened Lutris for the first time since then and I think I can see how to use it now. But I'll probably stick to my current ways because it works and really all of it's a pain anyway. Lutris is still invaluable for peeking through the installer scripts, though.
There is no standard they can all agree on.
