> Why would it just shrug? Lots of people here looooove FB :(

Sure, but if Meta is going to continue being a pratty American company with no respect for how things are done on your side of the pond, where not leaving people open to naked predation by bigcorps is a fundamental principle, I don't think most Europeans would miss it that terribly much. Homegrown alternatives would emerge and most people would just use those and get on with their day.
Don't believe the hype is a common expression in English. You are just reading much too much into it IMHO. And I don't like to see discussions derail into this.
I didn't say they had no apps. I said they don't really have apps and they don't. Their main product is search and it's accessed through the browser.

If what FB is saying is true then the move by Apple helps Google. There's more or less two options for online advertising. So if companies spend less on FB then they're probably going to spend those dollars with Google
No, they are very different conceptually.

Watching r/natureismetal and David Attenborough documentaries I find myself far more taken aback at the viciousness of some predators (even some trees!) than anything I read in Fast Food Nation, and sections of that book were absolutely disgusting
Yes, RedwoodJS seems like Rails for JavaScript.

Recently I’ve also been impressed with Remix that was mentioned in the article. It seems to have solved the client server code duplication problem while still offering the benefits of both.
I alluded to European expeditions to Egypt for a reason :-)

Though maybe there's only a brief window of development in which a culture is both not superstitious enough to be scared by this, and also lacks the technology & knowledge to figure out what you actually mean and verify it themselves.
I'll totally agree that it was a bit of a taboo to speak badly of the protests in some circles, but the enthusiasm for the whole thing quietly died among many people for exactly the reasons you describe.
Getting off the gold standard is clearly the worst deregulation in US history. This goes against prevailing thought, because it "happened a long time ago". But 50 years is not a long time on the scale of societies and empires.

Ending the gold standard is responsible for the ever-widening wealth gap (necessary assets like houses get financialized into investment tokens), the constant nonsensical bubbles (stonk market goes up during a pandemic? yeah, that makes sense), the utter misallocation of resources to moonshot ventures (let's fill the sidewalks and rivers with a bunch of e-scooters), and the ongoing full time churn-work culture in spite of technological advancement.

Monetarily unconstrained, the government creates new money to paper over whatever short term pain of the moment. They then explain it away with nonsensical price inflation metrics that, among other things, complete ignore that prices should have been going down drastically due to technological progress, offshoring, etc. And to be clear for all the republicans reading along and nodding - while what I'm saying applies to congress and the executive branch, it applies even moreso to the Fed itself and its continual subsidies to the financial industry. This is done with no debate and no mainstream news coverage (the unilateral decisions are covered in the financial press, presented positively because the audience directly benefits from the subsidies). Then the small portion that might be spent publicly gets mercilessly politicized so the republican party can pretend they're against this state of affairs, with the resulting austerity making the effects of monetary inflation even more cruel for the middle and lower classes.

I haven't tried the web app or client. I have Office 365 with the desktop apps. It's amazing how long OneNote has been around. It's like an endless notebook/media repository with tabs!

Do you know of any other app that is even close? I had Scrivener on my Mac for writing, but it didn't work well for project management/note taking.

Markdown solutions are there, but nothing as cohesive as OneNote as far as I have found.
However, restrained environment may inspire creativity. For sure today's kids have way more choices and the almost unlimited resources (as long as the family is not poor), but I wouldn't say it's a benefit without harm, from my exp having way more choices than one can digest is always bad. Plus most of the choices out there do not give you the benefit to build from the bottom -- a very important skill for engineering.

US has 2.6 doctors per 1,000 people. Cuba has almost 6 doctors per 1,000 people (more than almost any 1st world country).

These doctors are completely strapped for advanced medical equipment, but they have sufficient resources for preventative care. If Cuba's doctors saw 12 patients per day, they would see every person in the country every 2 weeks.

This (plus reducing obesity) goes a long way toward solving the problem. Cuba has problems where advanced treatment is needed, but succeeds at catching disease early and encouraging people to solve lifestyle problems before they cause damage.

The US needs to DOUBLE its medical doctor graduation rates just to keep up with countries like Austria.

How does this happen? In the 50's, your doctor spent 1-2 years doing prerequisites then 4 years in medical school and 1 year of internship before setting up a general practice. Today, they need 4-5 years for their BS degree then 4 years of med school, then 1 year of internship, then 3 more years of family medicine residency.

It takes 13 years just to be able to diagnose the sniffles or send you on to a specialist. Even a nurse practitioner takes 4-5 years for their BSN then another 3-4 years for their MSN which is still longer than the doctors people saw in times past. Despite this, patient outcome is virtually unchanged.

This credential inflation costs valuable years that could be spent treating patients and accrues debt that is then passed along to patients as higher costs. Because insurance companies profit on a percentage of income, the magnify those costs even more.

What happens if you change this back to how it was?

Loads of doctors get mad because all their schooling becomes pointless. When supply doubles, their wages go down too. What do you do with all the nurse practitioners who have more education and experience than the doctors?

The rest of the country would benefit, but the people most involved have more to lose and a much stronger reason to push for the status quo (not to mention much more money to spend in lobbying).

> In rich countries, it targets lower income strata.

[citation needed]; anecdotal, I live in a rich country, a trip to McD's for a family of 3 quickly adds up to €25; home cooked dinner is < €10.

I will acknowledge that the ability to cook food at home and having access to a supermarket that actually stocks fresh vegetables and the like is a rich country's privilege. That said, I gathered there's plenty of places in the US where that is simply not a thing.

Friend - this is a learning opportunity. Check the upvotes.
Fair enough. Although the blame and outrage should be pointed at the shipbuilder themselves. The news headlines like to muster up hatred for the rich any time they can because it's a juicier story. Sure, the guy bought a ridiculously expensive boat. He didn't have much to do about the bridge being taken apart.
I agree, but default connotes that you are able to change it. Maybe it's that sort of built in contradiction that appeals to me.

Why would said individuals need to know who each other are. They should all act independently of each other and simply hand off their payload to the recipient.

Assume the individuals in my scheme are all lawyers at different firms around the world that all have instructions to hand an envelope they do not know the contents of to designated individuals in the event of my death. This is a well understood scheme. I just do it with a redundant quorum so I can avoid any one lawyer being able to consume the contents of said envelope themselves and tolerate some of them failing to perform their duties.

As far as the hardware the recipient has access to, that can be duplicated to any similar off the shelf hardware via a 24 word paper backup and storing paper redundantly and durably is a solved problem.

These schemes use well understood standard cryptographic protocols as well. Shamirs secret sharing and bip39. The rest is just human logistics.
Every time I see discussion about go and enums there are people who are referencing these mythical C-like enums that had never existed. It's some sort of constructed memory. And I'm sure there are languages that do enums "properly", but it's always C/C++ that is referenced.
Are pictures and written words a requirement now? Wish I knew that 35 years ago when I made the trip.
The Cloudflare worker JS is a mess of incompatibility and design idiosyncrasies that make it really impractical for true edge application design. What I mean by cloud native & serverless is specifically containerized platforms where you ship your container and they run it - where a golang container can be 30MB with everything included vs a full-fat nodejs container in the 100-500MB range. Scala is also huge when bundled and shipped as a fat jar. Hell even windows binaries if you really wanted to push something to the end client, are trivial in golang and invoke none of the .net client library, c++ redistributable or "shipping java with your app" headaches of other solutions. Only Delphi and C linked against winapi can offer this same level of portability on Windows.

AWS's lambda golang is first-class as well as GCP's golang "Cloud Functions".

Again, can't speak highly enough of using golang on cloud.
This article is biased and fails to acknowledge many advantages that cash has over credit/debit cards:

* Transactions are private. There is no middleman between you and the merchant to censor your transaction or to sell your purchasing habits to advertising companies.

* Transactions are final. The merchant has no risk of chargebacks.

* Transactions are bounded. Once you walk away, the merchant cannot take more money from you. Whereas with credit cards, they could store your number and charge you again at a later date, without your knowledge.

* The amount transferred is known to you. Whereas with credit cards, the merchant terminal could lie and show you an incorrect amount, and you could approve the fraudulent transaction.

* The maximum amount you can lose is limited by the amount of cash in your wallet (let's say $100), not by your credit limit (let's say $3000).

* It's easy to understand - you have physical tokens with numbers on them. There are no accounts, statements, minimum payments, interest, fees, reward points, customer service phone numbers, etc.

Cash obeys the principle of least privilege much better than cards do. Though, I think electronic payments can be a lot safer if we had a culture of push payments ("I send $123 to Amazon to purchase widgets") instead of pull payments ("here's my credit card number, have fun").
zsysd is Ubuntu's zsys tool. It's notoriously bad at burning CPU as your number of snapshots increase. It has some pretty serious flaws as well that can result in total data loss on the local drive due to aggressive / incorrect snapshot pruning.

Could someone with more knowledge explain to me why a vaccine against HIV would not also be a cure?

“ In short, if you're excited about iOS 14, you are more likely to be poor than not”

Why are supposing that all rich people made their money through online advertising? It’s clearly untrue and certainly not a robust enough a conclusion to feel bad about your relative success.
Ah thank you. That's slightly better then.
I feel like the purpose of the cost cap is kind if misconstrued here, too. It was mostly in place to ensure the poorest people, who are often on PAYG meters and the worst tariffs, don't pay way over market rates. It was never designed to stop the kind of huge increases in costs we're seeing now.

One thing is for sure, we desperately need to ween ourselves off natural gas. Switching to heat pumps etc. for heating can't come soon enough.

Okay yes, thanks for this clarification. My RNG comment was based on a reading of your previous message that you didn't like progression being gated on completing the main missions because those had a luck component, and while I felt that at first, upon further play it became clear that there really are very few true Kobayashi Maru scenarios in Into The Breach, even on Hard Mode [0].

That depends. Can you invert a binary tree, in Brainfuck, while standing on your head, and simultaneously writing a new OS in Rust, all while a traditional big-top circus show goes on around you?

Have the chance to move to USA or Canada – which one would you choose?
Long story short, my company can sponsor me for both Canada or US, my decision where.

In Canada I get PR relatively soon, at worst it would take one year. In the US, I would get a Green Card in two years.

My parents live in India and one day I want them living with me, and that is easier in the US too as there is no lottery or wait time for immediate relatives (Canada has lottery system, 200k people apply for the same 20k spots and more and more people will be applying each year). But, Canada has a Supervisa system where parents can come to Canada with me as a PR and live for two years.

Most importantly, for the future, opportunities are limitless in the US, salaries are 2x to 3x that of Canada, healthcare is better and faster, houses are cheaper (except SF and maybe NYC) compared to Toronto. I know very well-educated engineers and doctors from Canada moving to the US for these reasons - future seems bleak for Canada.

What would you do?
You can do Level 2 options trading in a IRA.

So you can sell covered puts / calls, or buy puts /calls. Those do not require margin. You cannot sell uncovered calls / puts, which would require margin.

Part of my position was buying $280 weekly puts which were $1.39 each, now $49.5 each ( still haven't sold lol).
As long as the people who go full crypto act under the same rules as banks for KYC, sanction compliance when moving money etc. (i.e. like for like) - why not? If we can atomize things to that level, I would expect the banking landscape to also look somewhat different - but might not be a bad place to be.
That website didn't seem to do much for bad college professors - if anything, the ones who are called out seem to consider their negative ratings a badge of honor.
I think I understand what they're asking for. Consider a function that takes in a struct as one of the arguments.[0]

Currently, you would have to invoke it like so:

svc.GetObjectWithContext(ctx, &s3.GetObjectInput{Bucket: bucket, Key: key})

But... why do you have to type "s3.GetObjectInput"? The function is taking in a concrete type (not an interface) for that argument, and there is only one possible type that you can pass in... so I agree with the person above that it should be possible to elide the type like so:

svc.GetObjectWithContext(ctx, &{Bucket: bucket, Key: key})

Go already supports type elision in some places, such as...

[]someStruct{{Field: value}, {Field: value}}

instead of having to type

[]someStruct{someStruct{Field: value}, someStruct{Field: value}}

which would be equally pointless repetition.

> And thank fucking god for that. It turns out there's no such thing as "The one way" - it's a choice for a reason: It has consequences and trade-offs that are applicable to your goals.

That comes with a downside though, which is that for any given problem there won’t necessarily be an ultra-well-supported “happy path” where every conceivable problem has long been documented along with a solution.

To me the lack of happy paths can be a problem. It’s something that is often encountered with Android development because Google can’t make up its mind and it’s very frustrating — usually your choices are between 5 different APIs that suck in different ways, meaning you have to pick the one that sucks in a way you think you can deal with best. It’s a significant damper on both velocity and motivation.
I think there’s a general consensus about the speculative bubble in the crypto asset class, but that’s a consequence of central-bank monetary policy, you’ll find the same in real-estate, equities, precious metals, you name it. When the cost of capital is ~0, the scammers come out of the woodwork. Flack-it-till-you SPAC it.

The reason why there is an impression that Japan is more technically advanced is due to the high quality electronics that used to be produced in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. If I bought a Panasonic, Sony or similar people knew it would work well and you wasn't wasting your money.

It isn't some sort of exoticism of the East. They were making high quality products that worked very well. For many people my age, the Japanese seemed to be ahead technologically because all the cool consumer electronics, game consoles etc were coming from their when I was a child.
