Obfuscate the discussion with numbers when it entirely misses the point I was making. So I will spell it out for you.

It is totally okay to bring into question the numbers and whether it happened when it comes to the crimes of the communist regimes. However if you deny the holocaust that is too much and must be criminalised. That is a double standard.

Either let everyone deny any event occurred or don't let them deny any genocide. If you are going to denounce Nazism and essentially make it illegal, you must also do the same for Communist, Jihadism or any other extremist group. But it is only done for Nazis because they must justify curtailing your freedoms by pointing to the very small amount of people that still think the Failed Austrian Artist with a Charlie Chaplin moustache might have had some good ideas.

> There doesn't seem to be a real consensus on what actually should be counted or not. But I'm ok with taking the widest, most encompassing definition.

Whether or not the Communists regimes killed more or not doesn't really matter. The problem is that there is a double standard. That wearing a Nazi Swastika is somehow beyond the pale, but waving a communist flag with Che T-Shirt is somehow acceptable. Both the Nazi and Communist regimes committed atrocities.

BTW Far-right apologists do the same. Try to obfuscate the issue by talking about numbers and whether the numbers were true. I've been to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Cambodia. I know what I saw there.

> One should wonder then, what number would we get if we apply the same definition to pro-Western/capitalist countries?

I am essentially a Anarchist (I don't like putting labels on myself, but for most intents and purposes that is what I am). So I am completely on board with criticising the state's wars done in the name of "spreading democracy and freedom". I was against the Iraq War, The War in Afghanistan, Drone Strikes. People bring this up as some sort of gotcha. I don't support any War other than one of purely defence.
I'd suggest as an initial migratory step (or just for having that extra reach) start using a Mastodon server for microblogging. That appears to be where this twitter-like social UX paradigm is headed.
I just checked and all the reports of misuse so far don’t seem to be “for months at a time”. I can also get a prepaid sim with very little identification and there’s no direct link from an arbitrary gps device to the person who used it.

I think there was a brief surge in people abusing them because they thought AirTags were untraceable, which they very explicitly are not. As apple says in the article they can directly go from an AirTag to the account that owns it.
You know what else hurts your company? When a well-qualified candidate goes to the trouble of figuring out who the hiring manager is, reaches out to them on LinkedIn, asks if they'd check out their profile and if they'd chat about the position for 10-15 minutes...

...and you get back (paraphrased) "Hi KB, I would look forward to receiving your application."

I am not wasting at least an hour of my time writing a cover letter, touching base with my references (which they demand in the application - are they fucking joking?), and tailoring my resume to the job....

...if the hiring manager can't be bothered to indicate in the slightest way that they even so much as glanced at my profile, or spend 10 minutes on the damn phone for a position that's been open for 6 months.
However all the GDPR requirements entered into force just in may 2018?

But in any case, the point is that the issue is solved without changing the laws or people having to switch cloud providers, as simply the global cloud providers have started offering compliant services.
“So maybe this is the thing we need to get labor back in a place where their salaries match their productivity.”

Otherwise all the economical growth is just BS for most people.
> It costs credibility.

I enjoy the cut of the jib, but credibility isn't really that important. From memory, Argentina isn't credible. All that means is they have to pretend that they will pay high interest rates before people will lend to them. If the question is "can they pay back all their debts with real value?" angle the US position isn't credible either, the numbers have gotten too large. Doesn't mean much in practice.

The real issues with a default are:

1. A country is being run by people who don't believe that written words should decide what they do and who won't keep their promises even in the most watertight of cases.

2. Either the polity or political leadership are incapable of medium term planning.

3. The sort of people who think 10-30 years ahead are being tricked into making bad financial decisions.

So on the one hand a default doesn't matter to people who don't directly own the debt. On the other hand, if there is a default, a host of other problems are going to hit and the country won't be ready for them. It is a bad sign.
I suspect they are working on it, but the crypto is privacy-preserving enough to make centralized authorization management hard.

Specifically, you get a cryptographic secret when you pair the key, it broadcasts as a bluetooth beacon with encrypted messages based on that secret and current time, that get reported up to an Apple service.

When you want to see your accessories, your device will compute the encrypted messages at appropriate times and have apple search for them.

However, there's no network push to an AirTag available to tell it to rotate keys. You could grant more people to see a tag by sharing the secret - but you then could not remove that permission without physically resetting the tag.

I suspect the solution will eventually be having derived keys from the secret and date, and date-based "leases" for permissions - I share the current key to allowed peers. That would mean revocation might be represented in the UX immediately, and take a day (or some other time period) to actually start to fail cryptographically.
Is it viable for advertising supported services to have a fully functional API? Some third-party developer will build an alternative client app with no ads and eliminate the revenue stream.
Chronological is worse since you will see a bunch meaningless tweets from people. It's better if twitter can show me the important tweets that I've missed since I last used it.
I find a position that seems interesting and then find a recruiter/hiring manager from the company on LinkedIn and toss them my resume. Has gone pretty well. Although after I get a real human being's direct attention, they usually ask me to submit a formal app through their job portal for what I assume are logistical reasons anyway.
If Big Corp co is paying per man-hour doing a thing in a week that could be done in a day is actually huge win from the point of view of a business person.

Everything should be done as slow as possible as long as client isn't annoyed enough to change providers.

Business people both at your company and at Big Corp co customer benefit from keeping things as they are for as long as possible. They keep getting paid for as long as the project lasts. But when the project finishes, a lot can go wrong. It might turn out that it was completely unnecessary or that it doesn't solve the problem it was supposed to solve or that any given business person no longer has any utility for the respective companies. Basically a lot of trouble. So technical debt might be something business people actually silently treasure.
> Probably just a coincidence to to round numbers and such, but it amuses me.

Adding to this: it's really hard for Do One Thing Well companies to pivot.
I don't think the typical issue is that someone can maliciously track some other person specifically for years. Longevity of the tracker is an added benefit, not what makes it different.

Honestly, in my personal opinion I feel that only thing that's really different is the company's notoriety. It's no fun to bash Tile (people just don't have any beef with them), but kinda fun when it's Apple. And that they've actually sent out a viral idea ahead of product release focusing attention on this aspect (so, naturally, it echoes back).
Somebody's got to do the work. Most corporate development groups I've seen adhere to the "Innovation Happens Elsewhere" philosophy. You're judged by how well you can copy and paste off of Stack Exchange, not how well you can evaluate customer requirements, design a solution and then implement it (or lead a small team to implement it.)

So... if people stop working on FOSS, we won't get any new web applications.
In other comments they mention that user consent would be enough to allow this.

Unfortunately I'm not going to read another country's laws to see if this is actually the case.
To be fair, the majority of fees can be explained with a simple shrug and "supply and demand".
Or anybody. So any ex-employee could potentially fail a background check / employment verification check (as at least one person here has). Because Apple, previously happy to say "Yes, this person works here as a Senior Product Manager" now says "Eh, sure. They were associated with the company."

They're not obligated to, you're right. But it's not exactly endearing of a company that has any gratitude whatsoever to its employees. But then again, from a company that was more than happy to engage in multiple illegal acts to collude to avoid poaching, to collude to keep salaries artificially deflated, I'm not entirely surprised.
They're not even remotely priced at the magnitude to eat the whole planet. And yet, their market IS eating the entire world (except China, due to insular political reasons). That points to me like they're significantly undervalued.
The lack of possibility to scroll in time (to skip that part) is what bothered me the most.
Not an expert at all in this area, but my understanding was that CFS' design addresses the neutron bombardment problems and the tritium breeding problems by making the reactor smaller and enveloping it in some sort of molten salt. Because the wall is smaller, they plan on being able to replace the inner wall yearly via 3D printing.

Wind & solar are fine where they make sense (i.e. windy or particularly sunny places), though solar panel production depends on rare earth metals, and wind + solar at scale require huge land areas covered with panels or turbines. Fission is fine, but is expensive and has a serious regulatory hurdle to getting safer, modern designs up and running, and produces long-lived radioactive isotopes.

Anyway, I'm interested in all of the above. Any of them are better than fossil fuels, and some scale better than others.

Around a decade ago I built a resume database for the sourcing team at a bigcorp that I worked at. I found a resume parsing tool [1] that had a .NET API and we bought a license for it. It worked phenomenally well on 90% of the resumes that we threw at it; we were able to extract job histories, technical keywords, and location very simply. As far as I'm concerned this is a solved problem... if a 20-year-old kid could do it back in 2011 then it shouldn't be an issue now.

> On the contrary, it only forces those providers to have a European presence.

It’s interesting to see the pattern here: if you can’t innovate, regulate.
Well, France has 58 mostly old reactors and have 1 under construction and now announced 6 more. To keep their current level of nuclear production, they would have to build like 40 in the next 20-30 years.
> When webapp logic happens on the client side, that results in slow applications (n.b. for normal users on low-end hardware, not developers on high-end hardware) due to CPU costs.

Its not CPU. Its bad software written by people who are poorly trained and have no leadership.

Do you really need 10mb of JavaScript and 10 seconds of load time to dynamically put a few lines of text on the screen? Yes, absolutely you do, because people don't know how to do it efficiently. This is a people problem, and not a technology problem. Hardware does not solve that problem. The actual technology is actually insane fast. As a counterpoint my personal app loads an OS GUI with state restoration using 2mb of JS code (unminified) in about 150ms.
I've been working on a video game and actually followed the article to implement astar.

If you have an inaccessible node, astar will indeed scan everything. But to get around this I only had to add a limit to the number of frontier iterations which was just a conditional.
Apple and Stripe are also set to commoditize the small business Point of Sale that is Square's bread and butter. iPhones were just announced to soon accept contactless payments directly, and probably also the next iPad will include the required NFC hardware.
My point is, our intelligence requires some activation. It is context-specific in the sense, that pure brain cannot develop it alone, in isolation or in a low tech culture. Configuration of our brain takes time and education, so modern human in prehistoric context may not reach the same IQ as if this person would have studied in one of the best schools on this planet. Agafia is modern human being, but she never had a chance to learn all the things that others had access to. When she met the civilization, she was already an adult person and her ability and desire to learn more was limited. She ran away from civilization back to her hut in taiga, and never wanted to live another life. She does not read a lot and, if you watch the documentary about her, she‘s reading Bible or books for children, so it’s not the same being fond of reading as for someone with university degree. She is unusual, yet she is normal, and she is a good illustration of what would happen if modern human had to become a hunter-gatherer, losing almost all cultural baggage except faith.
It's about 0% for sub-Sahara Africans, and in the 1% to 4% range for the rest. [1]

This may not mean exactly what you think it means though. Your non-Neanderthal genes are also almost identical to the Neanderthal ones, otherwise interbreeding would have been impossible. It's just that genes come with slight variances that can be used to trace ancestry.

E.g. you may also have heard that humans and chimpansee DNA is 98.8% identical, so there is obviously a different type of similarity metric being used there

This is often an intentional design.

A lot of HR people and bosses are evil and want to know not just where you worked and about how long, but what months you were there. Why? Because it's a way to figure out if you're disabled. A resume shows what the candidate wants them to know, but these portals are a way to ask the questions they want to know without revealing (as would occur in personal interactions) the degree to which they want to know.

Also, to a large degree these horrible job portals are a way of filtering out the "prima donnas" who balk at being treated poorly or having to do something mindless and unpleasant.

The hostile design is kinda the point, because it's capitalism after all.
They will keep adding renewable sources in the meantime, it’s not like they’ll be sitting on their hands.
Is all sleep science based p-hacked small-n experiments?

To your point - I probably would have tried to rely on research that supports your points (which you've got me interested in now). I probably wouldn't have included a handful of anecdotes in the the appendix (including your own and Elon Musk's!), as well as 8 replies from a reddit thread as a supporting section. I probably also wouldn't equate "a person with an ADRB1 mutation can sleep less" and "a single individual that underwent brain surgery can sleep less" with "Decreasing sleep by 1-2 hours a night in the long-term has no negative health effects". I wouldn't include any arguments that say modern sleep is "unnatural", which doesn't have any real meaning or basis in reality (is modern medicine natural? what about sanitation?). The analogy to hunger is a justification rather than any type of proof, and taking the analogy further, it would suggest I should go back to sleep in the morning since I usually wake up sleepy, just as I would eat more when I'm hungry. I would be careful about saying sleep duration is a cause of depression/mania rather than considering both might be driven by a confounding variable (stimulants will certainly cause both mania and wakefulness!). I also probably wouldn't make claims like:

> Convincing a million 20-year-olds to sleep an unnecessary hour a day is equivalent, in terms of their hours of wakefulness, to killing 62,500 of them.

Without considering that you might be wrong about lifespan (not to mention healthspan) since you might very well be convincing others to effect a behavior change with your post.
> Like another commenter mentioned, inflation screws over anyone who works for a wage.

At worst, anyone who works for a fixed wage (and even then, the demand dynamics that create a fixed wage with inflation mean instead people just lose their jobs without inflation, because of the stickiness of nominal wages.)
Amusing - The statistics from your Department for Transport seem to suggest that you are either an extreme outlier or just entirely wrong[1]! Or maybe this can be attributed to you having some lingering difficulties with kph vs mph?

Inflation is great for people and companies with fixed rate debt.

What I don't get about twitter as a company: Why do they have so many employees? If they scaled back they could have a nice business as it is.
Laws should be written to facilitate and improve the growth of civilization. This includes practical and fair measures for conducting business.

Imposing byzantine regulations on every webmaster on the planet isn't helping anyone, least of all the European user, who will increasingly be locked out from the rest of the planet.
Yes. I think he understood that censorship beyond what is strictly required by law would be the end of Twitter as an omnibus-platform, and thus the end of Twitter.

In the same way that we have newspapers split by political observation, we will end up with social media split. In a way it is natural.

> Environmentalists really are their own worst enemies.

Doesn't almost everyone see themselves as an environmentalist these days? The problem is - the average "environmentalist" is not trying to maximize for anything.

It's a broad bucket that almost everyone is falling into and there's almost zero common ground, no organization, etc.

Of course there are going to be people that oppose almost everything that label themselves as "environmentalists". There's always people that oppose everything! And most people consider themselves "environmentalists".
I like the functionality of the AirTags so I don't want them nerfed, but I can think of no way to fix their fundamental problem of being such easy to use stalking devices.

Chefs knives are great for cooking and are inexpensive and easy to purchase; they can be very dangerous weapons in the wrong hands so we make it against the law to use them in that manner. Maybe that's the best we can do with AirTags.
It's one of those things where in theory and in the rule of law the CEO can do so. It does make me feel uncomfortable, though. As time goes on I am less and less supportive of the notion that private companies can do as they please on the basis that they are private companies.

I don't know what 'the solution' is, but I do sense a precedent being established that I am weary of. Twitter is simultaneously a public sphere where politicians are prohibited from blocking users, but also a private platform where they can be ejected at-will.
If you get your InVerify or Work Number report, and it does not say associate, you would be an anomaly. InVerify told me it's really obnoxious because they have to keep a special process in place for Apple employees to get their actual job titles. The problem, of course, is that The Work Number, does not do this, which is who Sterling is partnered with instead of InVerify.

HireRight will check InVerify AND The Work Number, and if you pull your reports from there (which I have), you can see that for yourself.
>Twitter like all mass social media is competing for quantity of user not quality of user.

Then why do they ban low quality users such as bots or users who have broken their rules?
I do think it should be possible to share encryption keys (ignore this MAC alas doesn’t work because the MACs and randomized and rotate fairly frequently when in the vicinity of an owner’s devices)
We will always be thinking about inflation wrong, if we consider it in isolation. (a rule true of most things, but I digress...)

Intrinsic to inflation is it's relationship with Interest Rates. The global pendulum swings to inflation for a phase, and then it swings back to high(er) interest rates for a phase. "The squeeze" (or "the expansion"!, depending upon which side of the equation one falls) is put on in one direction, and then, some years later, the tables are turned and the squeeze is eventually applied in the opposite direction.

So to consider inflation as though it were an isolated system able to be managed in it's own right will always be problematic, in the way of trying to change one cog of a clock mechanism (without considering the whole).
Hmm; all of those things are what I would associate with breaking the stability promise, that is, reneging on inflation control and holding interest rates low. That encourages borrowing and propels the price of assets.

I'd expect your objection to be associated with growth at all costs, not with stability.
This. LinkedIn is the de facto platform for work networking. I already maintain all my stuff there. Let me just easy apply, or let the company or me pay LinkedIn to provide my info when I apply.

I was sorely disappointed when they announced the new Apple TV remote, and it didn't have airtag built into it.
