Had no idea you could engineer your severance package. That's pretty smart.

I had a similar experience at Google (with the only difference being haven taken a pay cut). Had a few cool months, eventually got disinterested in the work, tried to move laterally, failed upon learning of the year-long minimum to transfer internally, got a pre-PIP conversation, left for a better place. Got questioned by everyone for a while after that; almost the same questions, actually.

I don't regret my decision at all.
>"There are plenty of other choices out there when it comes to infrastructure services so this isn't "deplatforming"."

This is still 'de-platforming', even though there are alternatives. There are alternatives to every service that has 'de-platformed' people, but it doesn't change what you're doing.

I imagine some OS/2 tech got into NT, but I think, in general, this is, in general, false that Microsoft turned OS/2 into their flagship OS, untrue. Windows as we know it didn't technically exist before Cutler and his team developed it at Digital. Somewhere at Digital in the middle 1990's Cutler and team invented an OS and Digital wasn't interested in it. Cutler took his work and his team to Microsoft in late 1998, and the work he brought with him from Digital became Windows NT4.x (not sure when assimilation was first completed) and 2K, XP, Server, 7, 10, etc. The Windows that Microsoft developed prior to Cutler's arrival only bears visual resemblance to previous Windows versions. Windows 1,2,3,95,98 & ME were the products of that previous development, while late NT4, 2K, XP, Server(s), 7, 10, & 11 are instead the direct descendants of the OS Cutler developed at Digital.

Well, I must add that the practice of solving comp pro problems is quite worthwhile for me (without the competition part).

I'm always humbled when I try to solve something, need 50-100 lines of code, and then there's a solution that really gets what the inputs/outputs/intermediate data structures are and it turns out to be just 10 lines of code (written during live competition, I'm amazed by the truly simple thinking of these authors). The best problems that demonstrate that are most often just algorithms with arrays (no specific algorithm, only required knowledge is working with arrays). True display of thinking things through before coding.

I guess example that come to mind (a mindblowingly simple algorith, try to find it yourself):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer%E2%80%93Moore_majority_v...

It gives me similar feeling (but less pronounced) to looking at tinycc, or looking at some tree enumeration algorithm in TAOCP, or the modification of it done by Knuth to support enumerating arithmetic expressions without redundant parentheses (also just an array algorithm, figure out how to modify an array that represents existing expression into an array that represents next expression, literally just a bunch of loops).

I had to handle time series data at work. There already exists 1000s of lines of code that deal with time series, sorted timestamp arrays, {up,down}sampling, timezone handling etc. All of that can be replaced by a simple 5 line function that works faster (supports tz, sampling, appends etc.). Only possible to write if you really focus on the problem you're solving and realize that the sub-problem you envisioned (the "efficient" time series data structure) does not really help you.
I'm OK with manual updates, I disabled autoupdates on Google Play too because I can't trust the apps to actually update them and not remove some functionality or worse.

You are right that the download / install process is very quirky. It often fails to provide the right feedback about what's going on and errors are common. Is it downloading, is it installing, did it get my touch? However I really want to install from there and not from Google.

Why care about the instruction set? It a very good regression test for the kernel locking primitives and data structures. Something "boring" like x86 with its TSO memory model will hide bugs.

The problem with using excess power for things like that (or desalination per sibling comment) is that the infrastructure to do these things is expensive, and it becomes less cost-effective if it's only used part of the time, when the energy is available.

The one application I'm aware of that can cost-effectively use excess power of that sort is crypto mining, since there the vast majority of the cost is electricity; the capital cost is relatively low. Unfortunately it's arguable whether it does anything useful besides enriching the producer.
Ukraine's ambassador to U.S. says Russia used a vacuum bomb on Monday
Enough is enough for Russia and customers from there. This is just a beginning, You and your Hitler=Putin started WW3 in Ukraine. Your leader is telling the world that he is ready to nuke Ukraine or any NATo country or US if someone will try to do anything to him or help save people in ukraine that your soldiers are killing. So yea, if businesses and society won't step in and stop sponsoring Russia which is killing and bombing people, so any business that don't want to touch bloody money, they should stop providing all services to Russia. Feel the pain for not doing anything with your Hitler with nukes and causing a war in europe.

The scope of Russia's “gains” in Ukraine
Well, there's nothing that's truly after your well-being except you and your loved ones. Not even my local gym nor Youtube workout videos nor my $1 pedometer phone app is after my well-being.

Our incentives simply align. I want to exercise more, they want to sell me something that I want to use.

Everyone is free to do push-ups and run at their own leisure without giving money to anyone else. Unfortunately most of us have trouble with that. It seems too much to call something a "con" if it can compel someone to improve their health just because it's transactional.

If someone can figure out how to make money from compelling people to exercise, I think it's a net positive. At least it's certainly better than all the money being made by compelling people to indulge in habits that are bad for them, which seems like just about everything.
> should I die or be cancelled by the rest of the world?

You should not die. But you don’t have an inaliable right to thrive in your country.

Again, not trying to be a dick. War sucks. I am truly sorry you’re hurting. And I am not suggesting it’s your duty to join a resistance movement or whatever. But these are considerations and costs we must all weigh when our governments do horrible things. Most of the time, sadly, the world won’t care. We (America) have war criminals who should be in jail. But occasionally, the world gets horrified and rises to the occasion. Even that occasional threat is better than nothing.

I have heard of it and seen it cited often.

I have a hard time with the Adventist studies due to their very well know and obvious bias. It's part of their religious faith that meat brings out "sinful" desires and impulses and they've been rabid activists for vegetarianism through most of the 20th century.

They've influenced policy and their studies and products of companies ran by Adventists (like Kellogs) have helped us arrive at our current health predicament. This is a group of people who are ok with processed foods, seed-oils, high omega6s, as long as it verifies their faith's desire for vegetarianism.

Adventist companies also used to parrot the faulty Ancnel Keys Seven Nations study because it demonized saturated fats as opposed to their precious carbs, and this has harmed us as a society, how we see nutrition, for decades and still continues to.

I don't trust a thing they say, no matter how fleshed out their study is.

They have an agenda,. They're not concerned about human health. Healthy eating is an exploitable byproduct to a larger end goal but the goal itself isn't health or longevity.

and even without reading the study in full - the study will not account for societies with high numbers of centenarians who eat meat - Okinawa's diets are rich in pork. Spain is rich in chicken and fish. This throw a wrench in their gears no matter how large the study is.

There's simply more to diet based health than adherence to cults with religious and political agendas and endless human tribalism.

Additionally - if I'm not mistaken about the study itself, it is yet another observational study asking people to self-report their dietary habits.

Observational studies are why nutritional science, IMHO, seems to insanely contradictory with one study seemingly stating one thing and another saying the opposite. It's why all the red and processed meat studies ended up getting thrown out. (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/30/health/red-meat-heart-can...)

Dude, that is how it works. Due to the nukes, the only ones who can remove Putin is the Russian people.

A large percentage of Russians still support Putin, the sanctions are a great motivator for fixing that issue.

Your likely want to look for “Level 3-A” plates for armor such that it can take an AK round. These plates fit into a “plate carrier,” usually the camo outer layer with MOLLE for attaching whatever. Price wise you’re starting around $500 for a set of plate (chest, back, sides) (in America at least where these are common and domestically produced)

You can get further, with coverings for arms, neck, and groin though they are not quite as typically used.

As for helmets, more or less whatever your host nation uses for their military.

oooh, while reading this thread, it crossed my mind that, well, if this website knows where it got the data from, then it could provide that info to the end-user, so they could actually have the source removed.

It isn't infeasible to see a future where this website could continue to provide the public the benefit of its existence, and also help protect the people who actually do need to have their records protected;

It sort of depends on how anarchistic the maintainers lean, and how much of an appetite courts actually have for fixing record leaks rather than blocking access to the tools or suing...

I guess you could verify a record should be in a sealed state with the file that states the sealing happened, right? I vaguely remember document IDs from the last time I touched anything related to them.

No, any site that currently uses Google Fonts AND IS HOSTED IN OR VIEWED FROM THE EU is currently in violation of that EU law called GDPR.

GDPR is not international law, its not a global law, its not Europe telling the US what to do, its actually not about you at all. On the other hand, if you would like to do business with europe, we have some things we would like you to do, if you do not wish to do them, you are free (we all know americans love their freedom fries) to not do any of the things we require and stay out of our jurisdiction.

If you have a website in the US, and a person in the US visits it, unlike your repeated claims - the EU neither wants nor needs nor considers it to be anything to do with anything that they give the slightest of shits about. You, me and the brick wall all know this to be true.

I'm not quite as tall, but still quite tall (slightly under 2m), and I'm still not sure what I prefer: the exit row seats or regular seats. The problem with the exit row seats are that you're "boxed in" due to the meal trays being stored in the side of the seat, so the sides aren't open. I'm not fat by any means, but even for me it's really annoying especially on longer flights: my hips start to hurt.

Last time I had a flight I got a fairly good deal on a business class seat. That was quite nice.
If you look at what both Europe and Ukraine is doing right now with sanctions, they're being a bit more clever.

- You want to turn Russians against Putin, yes. But you don't want to have those same people hate Ukraine/US.

- For example, sanctioning a hospital or stopping sales of food or medical supplies into Russia would be a stupid sanction. Forbidding oligarchs from living luxury lives in Europe is a good one.

- Right now, most sanctions are focused on the wealthy and influential Russians, since those are the ones that have any sway.

- My guess is that the vast majority of Namecheap customer's are exactly the ones that will protest against Putin, or organize information campaigns aginst him.

- Obviously sanctioning Kasparov or Navalny would be the dumbest move. This is sort of in that same category.

It seems it would be completely logical to also boycott the European countries that are actively funding the Russian government with the billions of dollars that are given directly to the state, through the state owned Russian gas companies. If I'm reading this right, ~582bn~ 7bn USD (thanks Jabbles!) for just a few month last year: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/13/gazprom-hits-r...

I think it makes sense that the European people should also feel the immediate pressure for actively funding the war for the foreseeable future. They're an absolutely massive income stream, and should be part of the collateral, especially since they've been warned about this for decades now.

I would be interested in seeing a counter argument to this.

> The thing that I was interested in is whether or not a helium atom in the Earth‘s atmosphere has a way to be sucked into the fusing layer at some point.

It seems to me there are three possible fates for that helium, and two of them involve being used up by stellar fusion. The helium atoms get somehow pulled into the sun and so eventually get used up in a fusion reaction, the sun expands during its giant phase and envelops the Earth and the helium eventually gets used up in a fusion reaction, or the helium nuclei gets propelled out of the solar system with the solar wind.

It'd actually be fun to estimate the odds of each option but I honestly have no idea. #3 feels like a long shot.
