Have you been to Switzerland and if yes, how does it compare? It's the most expensive county I've been to, and it was a bit shockingly so ( an example i recall was a burger in some random restaurant (nothing fancy) in Geneva costing 30CHF, which is a lot even compared to Paris, which is already an expensive place).
Anecdote time:

Before the pandemic we used to make math popularization fairs in the university. Sometime the organizers was just us, sometimes with another branch of the university, sometimes with the cooperation of the city or national government.

Most of the people were fro schools, but we were open to general public too. Something like 200-300 simultaneously and 3000-5000 total after a few days. We had like 10 stands with different activities and someone prescheduled the schools to 3 or 4 stands with the correct level.

The problem was that some schools didn't arrive, or some in charge of a stand didn't arrive, or other similar stuff. So sometimes we had to reschedule on the spot.

So perhaps someone was expecting a student group of 18 y.o. with some knowledge of calculus and got a group of 12 y.o. that didn't know how to draw a parable. Sometimes it was possible to fix rescheduling on the spot a third group, so the age difference was smaller.

One of the trick was to have a wide range of related activities in each stand, so when a group arrives the person in charge would decide which activities to do and change them in case they are too difficult or too easy for the group.
Exactly ... I'm incredulous as to why this is even debatable.
I built a product with Preact, and can’t think of any time it’s bitten us like that. I’m sure you’re right, but for us at least, it’s been smooth sailing.

US data simply doesn't match figures reported by other comparable countries around the world and is likely to be distorted in some way. For example, here's a story from the UK in October/November last year saying that the majority
of Covid ICU patients were vaccinated.

That's the British government's own data which is of decent quality (mostly). US data is virtually uninterpretable in comparison.

You are failing to account for the cost on user trust. Each time a user buys into an app or device Google shuts down, that user trusts Google products a little less. Do it once or twice, no big deal. Do it dozens of times and they're never going to try your new products again.
Personally if I was making money at the expense of humanity’s ability to access knowledge, I wouldn’t feel so great about it.
Quite true, alternatively you could hold the part inside a rotating drum, a bit like rotational moulding. But then it will be harder to predict the thickness.

I suspect you are right about spraying, much more likely to get a uniform thickness. Maybe a combination of the two spray a constantly rotating (in 2 axis) part.
Although the death of Google Reader hurts me to this day, it's impressive how much experimentation Google is able to do.

I've done web apps with PHP, ASP.NET, .NET Core, and, unfortunately, Java/Angular. The only thing that really hangs up .NET for web apps these days is its reliance on Entity Framework. What I've finally concluded is that I'm glad to tradeoff speed and strong typing of .NET/EF for the flexibility and "omakase" of Rails/AR. Obviously, YMMV.
> The one to whom society means to be free from the violence imposed upon citizens by any authority, against the one to whom society means the enforcement of a set of rules protecting it against chaos (I reckon my phrasing may be biased, can't help it I guess).

Maybe replacing "against chaos" with "against violence of individuals" might help to reduce that bias?
Hey, I said "users", not "evil hackers doing weird things" ;)

The sad thing is that this isn't entirely a joke. I've brought up those kind of issues in executive meetings in the past (trying to exterminate battery-draining animations being a particular crusade of mine).

The response is a mix of blank stares, mild interest... and a quick dismissal from the top dog in the room, along the lines of: "That's certainly something to consider, but I think we have more pressing matters in our hands. Let's keep these on the back burner."

I don't even try anymore :(

Tugendhat has already announced that he will run in that contest.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tom-tugendhat...

As to a snowflake's, as of a week ago when the prospect of a contest really emerged, the betting markets thought his chance was 16/1 and now his odds are between 6/1 and 9/1 depending on where you look. Not far off Truss's odds.

Not a snowflake's -- he's in fourth place and it's more like we need to see whether Jeremy Hunt will run or endorse. Tugendhat has pull in the national party (even if half of the parliamentary party hate him for being a "swot" -- i.e. actual public service instead of a PPE degree and some time at a hedge fund). I think if Hunt decides not to run, there is a good chance he gets to take it to the country.

I would observe that Jeremy Corbyn started out with longer odds in the 2015 Labour leadership campaign.

Boris's hair is not a joke. Nothing about his appearance is a joke. It is carefully crafted to maximise his innate characteristics and play up to a distracting stereotype. He had his flat done up for £100,000 by an exclusive designer, his wife is a smart dresser, and he is surrounded by PR people. Everything about the way Boris looks and acts is planned. Understand that he's a sociopath. And sociopaths do what they do. This will be a rough contest.
There's nothing controversial about writing kernels in C++ though. Windows, Apple, BeOS, etc - basically every commercial OS has used C++ or a subset in the kernel for decades. Linux is an outlier.
Yup, and it has gotten much worse during the pandemic. I too have dealt with crazy rude airline staff like this. Not to mention some of the airlines in general are just dropping the ball with their service.
The free Assassin’s Creed demo had me gawping in shock at my screen, so impressed was I at how smooth it was.

But when the details of the service came out, I had no interest: spending full retail prices for games to exist only on Stadia, ready to vanish with a poof when Google killed the service, made me stay far away.

I remember they did an AMA where the Stadia dev team’s response when beleaguered with concerns around that was: trust us, we’re not going anywhere. Surprise!

I commented on something on LinkedIn in 2013 and, while completely not relevant, out of context etc, I get it thrown at me by investors and partners to this day. It was a remark that was correct at the time for my situation; it doesn't apply anymore now, 8 years later, but seems that people are not very good with that. So yeah; be fake and positive only on LinkedIn if you care about that kind of crap.
Please use the normal justice system with its existing checks and balances, thank you.
> I should also point out that high salaries will be eaten up completely by the sky high costs of everything in the Bay Area.

Interesting. Can you define "eaten up"? With my west-European salary, I can save around 1k/month. Since junior SWEs in California can apparently make 100 to 150k, I imagine that an "eaten-up" 300k would still let me save much, much more than in Europe. Is that unrealistic?
It's my body, my legs. I can refuse to leave for literally any reason I want. If I do it can also be a breach of contract or violation of various laws depending on the why and they would be entitled to compensation or I face criminal charges.

I could do with absurdly high savings though. For everything from future projects to safe vacations and financial emergencies.

Well, considering the number of employees they have ...

But yes, Google Reader was, for me, the start of the decline.

Sure, they're super successful to this day, but they switched off my 'fan-boy' button at that point.

I found that list utterly depressing, actually.
It's been decreasing so far, with financial safety, a saner schedule (no more absurd school deadlines for subjects I don't even care about), and more freedom of movement (one gets pretty isolated with no car in my area).

I expect it to keep getting better.

That's a good practice. KeePass 2, KeePassX and KeePassXC, and KeePassDX on Android do this by default as well. It's even better to use the Auto-Type feature of these software, because then the password never gets on the clipboard in the first place.
This over-dramatizes a bit. For example some of the “deaths” were consolidations that’s were well implemented:

Parent Comment was referring to Joe Rogan frequently asserting that Ivermectin is an effective treatment for COVID. There is no evidence that this is true, and in fact, off-label and unsupervised use of a drug like ivermectin is incredibly dangerous. The misinformation about ivermectin forms a tent-pole in his incredibly dangerous war against the COVID vaccine.

No one is arguing Ivermectin isn't an amazing horse dewormer...

Why do they need the government to do this? Just ban them from your particular business and move on. It’s their right as a business to deny service.

If you're on Netflix, obviously you'll want at least some of the suggested content to be relevant to you. If you love basketball, of course you'd want to be reminded of The Last Dance documentary. The same goes for any other decision in the marketplace, you want relevant products to be presented to you. And that requires information about you.

Of course there's a limit to this. I'd always want at least some content to be atypical, to let me get exposure to things outside my bubble. But it doesn't change the notion that I mostly want content relevant to me.

Now if you ask me: do you want to see ads? I'd say no, most of the time. Because I don't enjoy being distracted by people trying to sell me things when I'm doing something else, e.g. checking my friends' summer pictures.

But if you're showing me ads anyway, making them more relevant is a net benefit than to be spammed with garbage. And if that runs much of the web otherwise for free, that's great, too.
No. Any business should be able to refuse service for any reason. Refusing to leave private property is trespassing. The right thing to do is leave and resolve your dispute over airfare in court.
Wouldn’t you say the experience of “being you” or “being me” would be part of the system of how consciousness works? And therefore, whether you like something or I like something, it’s part of the happening of consciousness.

Maybe “you like the experience of drinking tea” is a totally compatible statement with “I don’t like the experience of drinking tea” in an objective sense.

I would say it’s not that consciousness depends on objective merit, but that it could be the other way around.
Overheating sounds interesting! So what happens if you display a max brightness hdr image on the screen for a long time, does the monitor shut off?

It's even Windows nowadays: They make it super hard to change file associations, change it back to Edge on every update, and even don't let other programs support the user. All under the pretext of "protect the user from bad applications", but really misuse it to drive usage of their own apps. The same will happen with that clipboard function.

You can also leverage that it is new and interesting to you. For example, attach a habit you want to build to using the iPad.
