I see where you're coming from, but that's not quite true.

GDPR basically puts international transfers into two buckets: Adequacy Decision, and Other. Adequacy decision means the other country's laws are "good enough," and your obligations are literally just to put the words "Adequacy Decision" in your privacy policy somewhere.

Other means you need to take "additional safeguards" to ensure data privacy is protected. This is a bit of a bother, but eminently feasible. The "standard" way to do this is put additional terms in the contracts you sign with third parties (and only use third parties where you have signed contracts).

The situation with the United States is unique: the EU have ruled that no possible safeguards are good enough. US law enforcement's needs override any contract you can sign, so it is legally literally not possible for an American company to safeguard data. This makes data transfers to the US substantially more restricted than data transfers to any other third-party country.
Energy is not the same as electricity. That burning is for heat. Your clue is that petroleum is not used for electricity; it is used for transport and a small amount of heating oil.

Biomass is 1.4% of US electricity.

> It’s based on a modern strain of social justice ideology that adopts some very ugly assumptions about Asians.

But the assumptions are based on socio-political history. It's fairly well know that the asian american population is very whitewashed primarily because most asians ( chinese, vietnamese, etc ) were pro-white collaborators who fled china, vietnam, etc after their side lost wars ( chinese civil war, vietnamese war, etc ). These are people who sided with their european/american colonial masters against their own people. And another group are asians historically dominated by white nations ( philipines, japanese, etc ). There have been demographic studies that showed that most asian americans date and marry white. It's so skewed that asian american communities will disappear in a generation or two without asian immigrants.

> I’ve been told to my face that Asians aren’t “grateful” enough to Black people for the Civil Rights movement and we “owe them.”

It was the civil rights movement of the 60s that ended the ban of asian immigration. Without the civil rights movement, there hardly would be any asians in the US. Asians were specifically banned from the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Act_of_1924

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Exclusion_Act

Oddly enough, asian women were the only gender specifically banned from the US. Looking back it's bizarre, but it happened.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_Act_of_1875

It was only in 1965, as a result of civil rights movement, that the ban was lifted. 99.99% of the asians here today came after 1965.

I'm against affirmative action, against woke culture, etc. But there are kernels of truth on every side. I certainly don't think you owe anyone anything, but there is a reason why other minorities might think you do. This issue also shows that everyone has issues with everyone. And everyone will fight against everyone when the pie gets smaller and smaller.

> The strength of these types of global payments systems is that they are global and neutral. If they stop being neutral soon enough they will stop being global.

Being global is far more important than being neutral, and countries will gladly sacrifice the latter if that is the cost to get the former.

Any meaningful global payments system requires access to the U.S. as European financial markets, either because of direct dealing with banks situated in these countries, or because of indirect dealings (virtually any other bank needs to deal with major U.S. or European banks eventually, and one can impose restrictions on the latter).

As a simple example: U.S. regulators can easily force the hands of major European banks, because every one of those banks needs access to the U.S. financial market, if only so their clients can deal there.

Want to buy Apple, Google, or Microsoft stock? Then neutrality is not an option.
To me, it sounded like a question a Kindergarten teacher would ask a class.
Links to other websites aren't the problem. You cant embed material (images, scripts, fonts, video, etc) from any external site at all, because the IP address is always conveyed to that third party because that's how the Internet works. Thus you must host it yourself or not at all.

This isn't just about whether you perceive the third party as a scary big tech "tracker" website or not

This could be understood - a lot of their employees ARE from Ukraine, as far as I remember (so it's rather different from situations companies like Apple/Disney don't want to work in Russia)

This could have grave issues for them IF Ukraine will be fully occupied for a long time but it looks they decided to accept that risk.
I think you under-estimate the amount of undersea cables that cross the Atlantic.

Even if someone went crazy and tried to sever all of them, traffic is still going to flow, it's just going to take a different and slower route.

The cables can be fixed in a reasonable amount of time, so there is little incentive for anyone to even attempt this.

>Negotiations are won by those with the least to lose.

Not in this (or many) cases. If you're implying Russia has the least to lose and will somehow win some banking negotiation, they will simply get cut out of markets.

"Least to lose" winning only happens if the "least to lose" party also has more negotiating power. The Russian economy, as markets pretty clearly show, has lost.
When I was a young lass I read "Holidays in Hell" over and over again. His complaint that Europe had no real ice cubes and if you asked for Scotch on the Rocks they gave you "the crumbling leftover from some Lilliputian puddle freeze"[1] still lives in my head. I didn't always agree with him politically, then and now, but his writing and his person transcend politics.

> Where do we draw the line between considering it a modification of the "soul" of the game?

At this point it is clear difficulty is a staple of the series and the ambiance of all the Souls games. Every time a new game comes out, this complaint is raised by people who don't play the games and Miyazaki has decided not to add these explicit difficulty changing settings, so I think it's evident that its part of the soul of the games.

> Not all ability or disability is on the body, as some may lie on the mind, whether it is because of a persistent problem, a bad time in your life, or just constraints.

You can't expect authors to adjust to every single person on Earth circumstances on their works. This is not accessibility, and I think it's an argument in bad faith to claim it is.

This is not gatekeeping; If you want a challenge with fantastic ambience, you play a Souls game --- If you don't, you don't want to play Dark Souls, and that's perfectly fine, there's million other games where difficulty is not core to the experience. Not every piece of art or entertainment has to be palatable to everyone.

The humidity is the issue. Wet-bulb temperatures exceeding body temperature means sweating no longer cools you off.

That's why steam rooms peak at ~110 and saunas at ~150. A steam room at 110 is almost unbearably hot, it's hard to last more than 5 or 10 minutes in one.

Think about a human having a fever of 108—that's the temperature at which you'd start to have convulsions.
Thanks for the help. I'm just trying to think about how it'd work.

It's probably more useful for the cloud version of our product, thinking about it more. At least if we're using Courier primarily to notify leads/customers.

In that case, would it make more sense to integrate Courier as a separate service or pipeline for managing engagement? Where is the line between something like MailChimp and Courier?

I think people have forgotten how easy it is to set up a traditional server-rendered site with Spring Boot or Django or whatever framework.

It' says "a working example" - which we referenced. With "a screenshot as a bonus". And a screenshot is pretty pointless for a binding library, since it doesn't impact what the GUI looks like, so it's not surprising a simple example to show the code doesn't have one.

EDIT: i.e. after looking at the QML, from quick glance it'll render two lines of text and two buttons in QML default styling. What do you gain from that?
I think the critical relationship here to understand is that it's 3 parties: McDonald's corporation, A McDonald's Franchisee, and Taylor. MCD Corp dictates franchisees must use this machine, which is very unforgiving in it's offline modes the machine may only be fixed by Taylor. McDonald's isn't losing the business, the franchisee is, and they are supposedly getting a kickback of some sort from Taylor. The party that gets the short end of the stick is the Franchisee.
I'm really happy with this feature, and having used it since it was first available in the early betas, it 'just works'.

There have been a half dozen or so times I've had to turn it off, mostly due to a website that saw my Fastly or Cloudflare sourced traffic and assumed it was bot generated. Those instances have tailed off in the past few months, and I haven't seen it crop up at all recently.

Happy to see one of the secondary relay companies talk about this, as hopefully it will generate more awareness for website and service operators on how to deal with the anonymized traffic.
It seems clear Putin didn't think the West would "go there" re SWIFT. As most of us are learning about this all in real time, it's really quite remarkable from the perspective that yes, the West is militarizing banking and sanctions in a new way. Putin had become a master of manipulating with armed conflict, and now the West has changed the rules. This is economic war. What are the acceptable or "allowed" reactions to an opponent on the recieving end? This is all new territory we're in here.
> If you write C and don't know how to cross compile your code you shouldn't be writing it.

Cross-compiling in C is always miserable to set up, especially around the area of libraries. And it gets worse if one of the compilers is from a different vendor.
Exactly. I've been in the position various times where I'm embedding a JS app on a page to help the user do something highly interactive, usually creating/editing content. And then as it's expanding to integrate with other things on the site, I start to wish more of the site was in the JS-app side of things.

Sometimes I realize a SPA would have simply served the user better, and it doesn't necessarily take much to be in that predicament.

Too many people hate on SPAs by, presumably, just imagining static read-only content like blogs and news. Though I'm also a bit tired of "SPAs suck amirite, HN?"

Put the user first, consider the trade-offs that work towards that goal, and see what shakes out.
I bought Holidays in Hell on the strength of mentions since his death, and it is tough going and dated to start with - it's just a series of national stereotypes played for cheap laughs that made me wince rather than smile.

> The problem with this type of sanctions is that they are only going to work once, no country on the periphery of "polite society" is going to put their faith on any of these institutions going forward. The strength of these types of global payments systems is that they are global and neutral. If they stop being neutral soon enough they will stop being global.

The problem with your type of thinking is that it can lead someone to sit on its tools until they're rusty and useless, out of fear of "using them up."

It's probably an inevitability that these "global payment systems" stop being global, because globalization never brought the political unity it promised. Countries will inevitably recognize the vulnerabilities created by dependence on rival's systems, and if they're big enough, they'll eventually build alternatives to solve that.

Honestly, I think the main problem with sanctions is they let political leaders delude themselves into thinking they're doing something to solve a problem, when they really aren't. Sanctions aren't going to get Putin to leave Ukraine: that's an immediate military problem that requires an immediate military solution. There's a small chance they'll destabilize the Russian regime over the long term, but I think the more likely outcome is they'll push Russia deeper into Chinese orbit, solidifying an alliance of rivals. Just look what happened to Belarus very recently.
I still remember how excited I was as a wannabe fullstack rails dev in 2012 trying explore more single-page-style UX. It felt like I was pursuing the "unified web" theory this article's title sucked me in with. "Could I make the UI less sluggish by writing a boatload more JS?" types of thoughts.

Ten years later we still have backend-rendered and frontend-rendered camps. Some of my rollercoaster ride has been filled with useless pursuits (coffeescript! I used to love how clean it was. Old style angularjs jargon like `$scope` and directives. The list goes on...). But overall I strangely think it has been worth it to keep up. The main champions have been SQL, HTML, and JS -- I use them heavily, across whatever newfangled trend I'm pursuing. I'm thankful a lot of what I learned over the years is still applicable, even as I (willingly) get yanked around by the hottest trends.
It also needs to be said that similar machines provided by Taylor to McDonalds' competitors do not have anywhere close to the amount of downtime that McDonalds' machines have. There's also ample evidence that software updates to Taylor's McDonalds machines have made the error codes more cryptic and the machines more unreliable over time.

I think there's a pretty strong legal case to be made that these machines are deliberately designed to break down in order to drive repair service revenue for both Taylor and McDonalds at the expense of franchisees. Unfortunately, franchisees seem to be locked up under binding arbitration clauses in their franchise agreements. Luckily for consumers, 3rd party vendors aren't subject to these contracts.
Macdonald's wants to own the machines and owning maintenance is part of that. They do roughly the same thing with McCafe machines that arguably compete with Starbucks and others. The most likely explanation is that these ice cream machines have turned out to have serious reliability problems that have so far not been addressed.
Most NFTs are just palette swaps / different hats / eyes / mouth on the same model.
Last time I tried to cross compile RISC-V with Rust it just didn't work at all. I even know how linkers work and tried my best with custom linker scripts and arguments, but the toolchain would not build a rv64gc. Perhaps they have fixed the issues now, though.

I would like to add that Zig is extremely cross-compilable. You can even use it to cross compile C/C++ projects.

And Nim is fairly easy to cross compile. Just output C or C++ and cross compile that. I don't know why people are saying that cross compiling C or C++ is so miserable. Yes, it's not always a one-liner, but that depends on the toolchain. For example, there is crosstool-ng. Also Linux distros tend to have cross compilers for many architectures right on the box these days.

Here is how to cross-compile to 64-bit RISC-V on my Ubuntu machine:

sudo apt install gcc-10-riscv64-linux-gnu g++-10-riscv64-linux-gnu

Debugging RISC-V and a heap of other architectures:

sudo apt install gdb-multiarch
Sekiro wants you to see an enemies attempts to attack you as a potential advantage. It's a very different way of playing, and I agree with you that compared to the dark souls games it can feel more restrictive (even though there is a lot of variety you just do not have access to turtle builds or spell casting builds for example).
That's what Putin's nuclear saber rattling has been about; right now he has an epic column of armor stacked up on roads North of Kyiv. He knows that if the West were to intervene with Reapers and/or Tomahawks right now that column would be smashed, so he is making nuclear threats to keep that from happening.

I really don't understand how McDonald's board and leadership has let this situation happen and continue.

These ice cream machines are the printer cartridges of McDonald's. Pointless DRM and obfuscation designed to maximize authorized call outs (with associated costs). Now you can argue taht McDonalds gets a cut of that (which may or may not be true; I just don't know) but all of this comes at the cost of customer experience and brand perception, which are two things McDonald's very much does care about. That's why I'm surprised they've let this go on for so long.

I really have trouble believing the board is unaware of this issue and have chosen not to resolve it.
