Dutch (and EU) consumers have traditionally been well protected by consumer laws to prevent situations like this. It is part of the culture to have this freedom, or freedom im general.

Threatening to abandon any country, because they are big and it is small is only going to agitate the population.

On the past years the feeling in the EU is that Big Tech is abusing its power, financially by bypassing taxes, by its market domination, and also by disregarding privacy. The EU has taken steps to prevent this through legislation (for example GDPR), yet this is mostly being disregarded. Now that the bureaucracy has caught up, you will start to see more and more cases and fines.

You want to serve a wealthy, tech loving country like The Netherlands, you better abide by their rules.

which is more difficult (and sometimes slower) than STONITH style devices which just kill power to the entire machine. The latter allow you to program the whole thing and run test cycle after test cycle where the device kills itself the moment it gets a successful flush.
I haven't really looked around in this space but I've used zendesk which 1) sucked, and 2) once you ignore all the useless javascript effects, it didn't really seem to do much. WHCMS is simpler and better but I've only used that from the customer side.

So I'd expect there are a zillion FOSS systems out there that perform this function, and if none are to your liking it's always possible to modify an existing one. Why write from scratch? Am I missing something? This seems like something that would have been done on one of those screen builder apps in the old MS-DOS era.

The drupal repository might be a good place to look for this sort of thing.
Yep here are a few recommendations :)

Sarah Marie Jette has a list here around books for siblings and scientists (https://shepherd.com/best-books/for-siblings-and-scientists) and she recommends "The Care and Feeding of a Pet Black Hole" By Michelle Cuevas

It has illustrations the recommender says, but just not sure if you could help translate the wonder to her age.
Maybe I wasn't describing you then.
Your parent just explained, that there have been animals hatching from eggs before there were chicken. At some point some of those egg-hatching animals had mutated enough to be now called the first chicken. He thereby answered the chickend-egg-question through evolution.

Edit: Even if you specify, that it has to be a "chicken-egg" you just have to decide, whether an animal producing a chicken-egg is automatically a chicken. I would argue no, because you could then prove by induction that everything before has been a chicken.

Often, these thoughts are about worst cases, and imagined outcomes so much more than realistic ones. Germans do have a word for that: "Kopfkino" (literally translated to "cinema in the head"), a state of worrying about things that becomes more darkly fantastical with every second spent on it, playing through all the imaginable adverse outcomes.
> Snowboarders have earned a poor reputation among skiers over the years – they often see us as those who sit in the middle of the slope. Maybe you don’t care what skiers think, but for your own safety and the safety of others, try to avoid doing this. If you need to stop, stop on the side of the track where other people can clearly see you. Never stop behind the lip or in places where others cannot see you.

This sounds like more general othering to me. I mean, as a snowboarder, you could swap "skiers" with "snowboarders" and vice versa in the above passage and it would still ring true.

Really nicely compiled page though!
> You can pretty much prove that calculus works from a purely logical basis (I might be using incorrect terminology here but you get the point, pure math is self-proving.).

Right, but it’s pretty clear from your use of terminology here that you personally haven’t studied the foundations of calculus deeply. Which is 100% fine. You understand roughly why it works and you trust that specialists have checked it out more thoroughly.

A lot of people on this thread keep pointing out that various things can be verified. But they are saying this precisely because they themselves have not verified the things in question and yet trust that it is possible to do so. The point is that this is perfectly reasonable in most contexts. You do not have to take on the burden of proving for yourself every mathematical theorem that you make use of.

I don't think there is any language that actually adopts a 1:1 mapping of letters to sounds, but many come very close to adopting a 1:1 mapping between groups of letters and groups of sounds (for a particular accent).

For example, Romanian is a pretty phonetic langauge, and it adds 4 letters/diacritics to the latin alphabet to come closer - ă [uh], î (no equivalent in English), ș [sh], and ț (like [zz] in pizza).

Even so, it also has some letter combinations - ce sound like the [chai] in "chair", ci sounds like the [Chi] in "China"; but c in any other place represens a hard [k] sound. To mark a hard [k] before e or i, you then use che,chi (why they didnt do it the other way around is beyond me, since [ca],[cu],[co],[că],[cî] all spell the same [c] sound as [che], [chi]).

The same rules apply to g - ghi sounds like the [gea] in gear, while gi sounds like the [gi] in gin.

X of course represents [ks], but can also reprezent [gz] in certain words, such as examen (exam).

I is normally a particular vowel or semivowel sound, like [ee] in English. However, in word final positions after a consonant, it's usually a consonantic sound. For example, the word "mări" (seas) is pronounced as a single syllable, with just a short [ee] sound at the end. However, the word "{a} mări" ({to} enlarge) is pronounced in two syllables, [muh-ree], accenting the second syllable.

The personal pronouns I, he, and she (eu, el, ea) are all written with an e at the start, but always pronounced with an extra [ee] sound. The phonetic spelling would have been ieu, iel, iea but for whatever reason this was not done. No other words share this feature in the standard accent, though it happens to many/all words starting with the letter e- in other accents.

As with many other languages, borrowed words tend to preserve the original spelling, even after they settle on a Romanian pronunciation. For example, the word "weekend" is written exactly like this, not the Romanian phonetic spelling "uichend". Older borrows do get this treatment though. For example the French "chaise longue", a reclining chair, was borrowed into Romanian a long time ago and is now spelled "șezlong".
Considering one of the "official" casus belli is that Ukraine might join NATO, is it?

Samsung won't admit their garbagephones are irrepairable. The repair cost on foldables is ridiculously high. If you want something compact and fancy, buy yourself a flip-phone. There were a few 4G ones, even from samsung :)
I see no reason why a rope would be slower than a gap buffer for 'just typing'. And the gap buffer will choke when you fill it up and want to continue typing.
My Samsung TV is not connected to the internet, but every night about 2am it turns the panel on. Its black, but glowing. I have to turn it off at the wall if I want it to stay off. I'm convinced its trying to shorten its own lifespan.
The funny thing is that I went to all job interviews, because I wasn’t happy with my job/unemployment at the time. I have no idea how to fake here more happiness. Currently I am unhappy with technical level at the company and future salary development, but I can’t tell this directly anyway. I guess I need to learn the ritual how to produce right answers.

I caught a bull shark off my balcony this week. I have bush all around. I travelled the world BEFORE COVID and socialised in all the ways while people grabbed onto the dream and pushed foward with their careers. And now? My travelling the world helped me sort out what was important to me. I love to code, yet i dont like the rat race. I thank covid for allowing me to no longer have to FEIGN socialising to get ahead. I no longer have to be apart of the rat race, i can live and be wherever i want, and still change the world with my code.

Covid lays bare like any other major tramaua to ones life would. 10yrs ago i did my back in; that was my kick start. I said if i could ever feel normal again, i would use that to go explore. and i did. Listen to your covid trauma, if its telling you that you have spent too much time chasing the rat-race, and lost the opportunity to nurture those life connections. dont wait. go connect.

The meaning of life to me is love. No matter how much money you have, without love (of a thing, a friend, a person, a stranger) you have nothing.
Not entirely true. Outside of government workers who are set for life, getting fired in Germany is definitely possible for various reasons, I know many cases. There are legal processes the employer must follow in order to fire employees but nearly all companies have lawyers that take care of that process to let employees go without getting sued.

And you can fall on financial hardship if for example, you took massive loan for a house and you lost your job which happens to be in a low demand filed, making it hard to find another job quickly. You usually have your 1-3 months notice period as a buffer, but the unemployment you get after that might not cover your full expenses as that's usually around the 60% mark of your pay.

Sure, like in most of Europe, it's more difficult to become poor and homeless than in the US, but Germany doesn't give you some magic immunity talisman to never loosing your job.
With everything I've learned so far, this perfectly describes the core struggle of success and entrepreneurship.

In order to have massive success, you need a constant state of both unreasonableness and optimism.

Unreasonableness drives results and change, optimism inspires people to rally around your cause.

If you're not unreasonable, chances are you aren't striving for more. There's lots of people out there living a perfectly happy, unremarkable life.

If you're unreasonable, that's by definition an unhappiness with the world, which creates a drive to change it.

If that unreasonableness creeps to much into your life, you get unhappy as well.

If the happiness creeps too much into your unreasonableness, you start losing your edge, the very drive that made all of it happen.

That's why you see so few truly happy billionaires and so many deeply happy people who are never even trying to make a larger impact on thousands.

It's certainly possible to balance both, but it's a very fine line to walk and constant personal development.
Yes, and that has never actually worked, so recently there's been a change of tactic and new sanctions mostly target rich and powerful people and organisations.
I am happy there is a warning, as I get easily disturbed by that kind of content, having some kind of flag is a plus in my opinion.

>Apple it seems does well w/ a Scott Forstall or a Bertrand Serlet

And before that Avie Tevanian.

After that it was Craig Federighi. And I dont like the decisions and directions since then to say the very least.

Sometimes I still think about Bertrand Serlet leaving, the year that Steve passed away or 6 months after Steve took leave of absence. I wonder if he saw what was coming and simply decided it was time to leave.
fascinating!

i always wondered why soft-BOL is set to such a difficult key to press (^) when it's such a useful movement.
I've had a Samsung S8 for 4.5 years now, and it is still okay.

Yeah it shows that it is old. The battery and performance is worse than before, but it still lasts the day as I am not using it that hard. I have no legitimate _need_ to upgrade as it stands today.

I guess the frequency of upgrades quite heavily on usage, but I find upgrading every 2 years to be very often.
It sounds like that agency was fired by the new CMO. Which seems pretty common. Advertising at that level is a big incestuous kick back revolving door of just a couple parent companies.

Google says Martin Agency is owned by IPG.

Which is like 1 of only 3 or 4 players that capture the vast % of traditional ad spend. They all own a bunch of different brands.
As a kid, I used to wonder why time was never "corrected" into an easy-to-calculate system. Our calendars have months of varying length and nonsensical names (SEPTember, OCTober, NOVember and DECember should be they 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th months, but that didn't stop someone from shoving new months behind them to honour emporers).

While 60, 60, 24, 7, 12, 365 don't make much sense (and might be improved on) the problem is that time and date are based on the planet's orbit and rotation, which makes days inconsistent. (I've never worked out how Planck time divides into earth's rotation or orbit, but I'm sure it's not assume lovely round number like 1x10^x). If we wanted the same number of "units" in every year (standardising on our solar orbit and killing of the leap year) then "1 O'Clock" would slowly drift throughout each day. We'd look back and say, "Oh, do your remember when we were kids and 1 o'clock was around mid-day?"

Other measurements like weight, length (and therefore speed, acceleration) are not bound to something variable like night and day, winter and summer.
I have become less impressed with Charlie Munger as time goes by. He has had a lot of financial success. However, lately in his old age he is sounding more and more like a jerk and tone-deaf.

> “What makes capitalism work is the fact that if you’re an able-bodied young person, if you refuse to work, you suffer a fair amount of agony, and because of that agony, the whole economic system works,” he said, adding effective, prospering economies have traditionally imposed hardship on young people who don’t want to work.

> “You take away that hardship and say ‘you can stay home and get more than if you come in to work,’ that’s quite disruptive to an economic system like ours,” Munger added. “The next time we do this, I don’t think we ought to be so liberal.”

Not trolling, and nothing personal but I pointed out an inaccuracy in a vapid and snarky comment with the level of detail it deserved.

The fallacy in your understanding of fisheries management, as you describe it, is that fisheries are not managed as a single global stock. Your argument is the equivalent of saying "all worldwide governments are terrible because some totaltarian despots exist".

There certainly are some historical failures and cautionary tales in fisheries management. But partially in response to those missteps, like the collapse of Atlantic cod fisheries in 1992, the implementation of science-based fisheries management have greatly improved. This isn't just an exercise in hypotheticals, where intensive management is applied, previously overfished stocks rebuild, or stocks are at target levels that can support sustained harvesting (https://www.pnas.org/content/117/4/2218).

Fisheries management works where applied, and there are absolutely examples of sustainably managed fisheries today - take skipjack tuna a cosmopolitan species that is not at risk of overexploitation. They can be harvested on a commercial scale with pole and line gear, one at a time with very low rates of bycatch. This isn't some fringe case either, skipjack make up the majority of global tuna harvest.
worked for a company doing apps for smartTVs. They all do it. Incessently. I made ad games that would pop up when the system recognized a certain ad was playing. you were supposed to be able to opt out of this but LG got busted in the UK for not listening to that option. This was back in 2013 era. It's worse by now I'm sure. They'd straight up send a screencap of whatever was on your screen every second for content recognition. Terrible shit.

Its the whole GD tech industry. Its been a race to the bottom on many fronts combined with constantly seeking ways to drive margins higher. Gone are the quality product for a fair price mindset.

PS, I thought everyone knew the foldable devices weren't ready for primetime?

I swore off LG products about 15 years ago, after a similar experience with some of the monitors, but ended up with a LG fridge (which failed) and a TV, and various monitors full of LG parts. These big tech conglomerates are hard to get away from. Its part of the reason I cheer on any competition in some of these spaces, no matter where it comes from.
This is an interesting thread of thought. I personally find many concepts in statistics much easier to understand through a resampling/bootstrapping lens, and I plan to try it on my children once they're old enough.
In a previous life I worked at a Sears. Back when that was a thing.

I was in lawn and garden during springtime. People would come in and buy a fully loaded top of the line lawn tractor. A week later it would be back, covered in mud and grass clippings, clearly having been through hell. Inevitably they were not happy with it. Probably because their pasture was now mowed.

I moved to electronics in the winter. Same story around the Super Bowl but this time big screen TVs.

It was easy to tell. Customers who just went straight to the big ticket item without any questions were obviously not interested in a long term purchase. But we just ate it.

The shitty thing was I got paid commission. Those returns got clawed back in my next paycheck.

I think Apple at least has the decency to pay their retail employees hourly.
You seem to be missing something key to this discussion.

They're selling access to the data, your data all the while you have little to no idea.

The issue you raised about getting targtted ads is fine, I don't think many will dissagree with you, but its about having the option to turn it off. Theres the disconnect. When you're forced into an ecosystem that you cant tailor, it leaves a bad taste.
You're right. It's a societal, imagined instability.

In the US, if you lose your job, you're "between jobs". In Germany, you're "arbeitslos" (jobless), which some people use as an insult. There are entire TV channels that make fun of jobless people - think TLC type shows, but strictly about poverty and joblessness.

If we get control of a country, and it's got laws this sensibly protective of human well-being in relationship to technology and big business, and in 10, 20, 30 years the rest of the world goes by on its trajectory (and we fight off their inevitable efforts to infiltrate or conquer our state), you'd be begging the Jetalonian immigration department for a visa! And we'd have to put you on either a very low chance lottery, or a very long wait list, no matter how many "important person points" you score on some chart! We have too many smart, hard working, beautiful people from all over the world who want to move here! They keep applying in droves, whole communities and families! They love the skyline, the night life, the restaurants, the beautiful natural parks, concerts, temples, churches and mosques! They love the food and the music, the fashion and sports! They love to work hard and play with their friends and the best part is, we don't have any tech CEOs who complain about our laws. They want a big market for profiteering from this sort of demoralizing gobbledyguk? It's just across the border, scenic everywhere else! Yes, over yonder where the skies are grey. Okay, you wanna go there?! See ya, pack up! Goodbye! Au revoir! I hope you enjoy learning foreign tech stacks with built-in depression! The only opportunists would be jealous foreign influencers who hate our happy, healthy people!

For my own editor, for syntax highlighting, instead of storing any part of an AST, I'm working on instead storing the starting state of Rouge's lexers at fixed intervals. It means restarting the syntax highlighting shortly before the point of a change and running it only for the minimal number of lines until the state again matches the old state is trivial. Most of the time, the full state at the beginning of a line is just a single symbol.

If you want/need the AST for other analysis I guess it might be worth doing something more complex there. For my use it mattered more to keep the editor minimal.
