Oh -- FWIW I didn't mean for "more easily managed" to have some negative implication.

I dunno. On some grander level, I know companies mostly just see us as numbers, but (and perhaps I've been lucky) most of the managers I've had have been basically nice folks, some have even given good career development device (some of which seemed much more beneficial to me than the company).
I mean - that's great if you want to give up all your existing friendships and possibly your family. Hard sell for the rest of us.
GabeN's personal financial stake in Valve likely realizes much more in the way of a) cashflow and b) control than any rocker's relationship with their catalogs.

Newell isn't the ageing rocker, smarting over the unfairness of the contract, he's the old-school cigar-chomping record executive, deigning to allow others to enrich him with their art. If he wants more money, he's just got to wait around for a bit. It'll arrive presently.
Which isn't exclusive to crypto soooo....
Is this tendency consistent over several years, though? Because there are some pretty stark differences between the Trump foreign policy and that of Biden or Obama. I don't imagine that many normal users would be inclined to echo the words of Hillary Clinton and later Antony Blinken, and in between them Rex Tillerson. If they have done that, maybe there is some kind of organized effort behind it.
As someone who has used Stripe over the past 5 years for large scale e-commerce and marketplace startups Stripe has dropped the ball quite significantly over the past two or so years. Their customer support has gotten worst, their communication to customers has faltered quite a bit and they're starting to nickel and dime their customers for basic features (like support that responds within a day or two).

I wouldn't go as far as to say they've fallen to the "bean counters" but they definitely aren't as customer obsessed as they have been in the past and quite a few gaps in their armor are becoming obvious.
Because it’s economic warfare and pretty fuckin based.

All they can do is brutalize civilians with military force.

The West (aside from arming local militias to the teeth) is mobilizing the civil society.

No boots on the ground, not even much impact to our lives beyond the inevitable supply shocks. We are sticking it to Putin from our sofas, via democratic government.
Carbon nanotubes in fact have similar pathology to asbestos. I don't think that specific issue applies to graphene though.
What happens when we back Putin into a corner?
You know they'd have a point if they were talking about Bitcoin and gold, but they're not - because if you don't get understand what underpins the value of fiat, or pretend it's the same - then you have an agenda to push.

Fiat has value because it's legally recognized by governments that issue it: it extinguishes tax and debt obligations in those jurisdictions. This makes it markedly different to any other of the commodity items listed: my government will only ever tax me fiat currency, which is sufficient to extinguish those taxes and fulfill debts. I can't be ordered to pay them in gold, or bitcoin.
Coincidentally, the Ides of March are coming soon.
There are ample counterarguments in the article itself to these points.
I just really fail to comprehend why “5” is a perfectly feasible number of days in the office on a set schedule and “3” is a pipe dream.

No one thought it was weird to close offices sat/sun, why would that change (now that we all have remote set ups by force)?
Jesús.

right. be less flippant, me.
Google has announced these too. 4 weeks of work from anywhere, exactly as you described them.
Because if we don’t remove Russia from the world completely we are approving their invasion and keep the door open for further invasions. Only solution is to segregate whole country and all their allies from the world until they remove their leaders from positions of power
I'm the furthest thing from a lawyer, but "knowingly and intentionally" sounds to my lay self like it's a test of mens rea. If I were operating a Tor node in the EU, I would probably assume until stated otherwise that operating a Tor node remained legal, as long as I wasn't operating that node with the intention of circumventing the ban on RT.
If you're your own custodian, as is intended, then no it has no affect

Microsoft had something called MHTML that did this about 20 years ago ... Tablet PC era.
Yes - this is a component of offices that I think people are skipping. Google and some other companies have world class offices and really cater to their employees quite nicely.

I think many here think of an office as an open office with 500 desks crammed together and nothing else. I know those offices - I've worked at plenty. I do not want to go back to that. I've seen what my current work has done for their "renovations". It's soul draining and will be a terrible office environment. Needless to say - I'm looking for a new job because I do want some office time but I don't want a soul sucking office like the ones we currently have at many companies. Google's isn't perfect (and it is huge YMMV - I've seen some that are fantastic and some that are horrific!) but it's usually far better than others. At least there's an option to enjoy some nice perks and office culture! Many places don't have any of that. No activities - no team building - no peer bonding - no anything!

Amazing if you hate people - horrible if you love interacting with new folks.
You're right, 学費 is a better word than the one I mis-recognized. In my defense, there is a book titled "やさしい料学", and I found a small handful of other instances through a search.
You're living in the past. The places where people tapped shoulders were the disruptive inefficient places I've worked at. Slack and Zoom have worked great remotely. The only thing I miss is in-room whiteboards, but I'm in the minority. Maybe you haven't worked for well-managed remote companies, and maybe Alphabet isn't one.
That is my impression as well. An ultra marathon is not a walk around the block even if they both commonly involve moving your legs.
Blaming the victim, wonderful.

When I step on your toe, you should apologize to me, because you could've been more mindful of your surroundings and prevented it.
I think its odd that "military experts" are stumped:

If Russia performs a blitzkrieg like attack they would level Ukraine to the ground or destroy major infrastructure. Russia would have to pay to rebuild everything with a pissed off international community. That would cost a hell of a lot more than what they would gain. I don't see why they are surprised, after you realize Russia/Putin isn't trying to destroy, just conquer.

It appears like Russia just wants to take over the land, make it a puppet state, and benefit from its resources. Even the damage to civilian buildings look more of a scare tactic to get Ukrainians to surrender than to win by destruction. Countless sources have said that Russia didn't expect the pushback.

This whole thing is because Ukrainians have shown amazing resistance. If you look at military battles: Battle of Thermopylae. Battle of Thermopylae explains the advantages/current success of Ukrainians, hopefully with a better outcome <3.

The unknown is how Putin is going to save face after all of this.
Depending on the process, maybe. I don’t know the landscape of accounting integrations with Stripe, but I probably wouldn’t want to sync a Stripe draft invoice as an open invoice to my accounting app. If there’s no open invoice, there’s no reference in the GL, and there’s nothing to be caught apart from an informal ‘cash flow seems to have taken a hit’.

It’d take both an open invoice and running an A/R aging to catch this one, which isn’t implicit in double-entry accounting.

The oil contracts went to US firms. So yes you could say that. The WMD story tells you how the US got others to vote for the war at the UN not who won.

They chased him out of Afghanistan, killed him and dismantled his terrorist network. That was the purpose. There were no plans for America to make Afghanistan a state. You leave when you have no reason to be there. The war was 20 years ago.
BTW, in airplane avionics, faulty boards are detected by having more than one board, and comparing the results. Ideally the different boards are different designs, different CPUs, different code, etc.
It's known to be possible to OD on religion. Why not meditation, too? See the classic "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".
No, you won't, just like you wouldn't if you switched offices. Google is and always has been very clear about this. They pay market rates based on location.
>Aging aside, there are millions of people alive today whose lives are worse than you and the original commenter's hypothetical lives following a nuclear holocaust. Are their lives not worth living?

I don't think you need to establish the value of the lives of others to make your own self-determination, nevermind a nuclear wasteland being an altogether distinct frontier of suffering and survival than growing up in a slightly more uncomfortable place than middle class America; nevermind surviving such an environment as an actual elderly person
If this person is habitually rude, then you are not telling the manager anything he doesn't know. If the person was having a bad day, then you should probably have given him a wide berth and let it be. If the person is a jerk behind the manager's back, then it's up to the manager to sort that out. I don't see it as your job to help him with that. He's unlikely to give too much credence to your feedback anyway, as you are rejecting the offer. People do not take feedback well when it's mixed in with disappointment.
They learn to cope. They use jargon, and clearly signal end -over and they demand ack, and repeat-back.

tactical radio does probably do some lightweight stuff which works in the RF field they have. If its through LEO, or any kind of centrex, its got delay.

I'm not MIL. ask a soldier what it's like.
How is this a "complete silencing of a country"? RT is a government propaganda outlet, not all Russian media, and not the Russian people.
To inject another perspective from an outsider, to me it read like meditation actually was a positive experience for you. One of the implicit intentions and outcomes of meditation, at least in Buddhist and Hindu belief systems, is that it's meant to be a technique to _overcome_ wordly illusions and temptations (Maya) and attain enlightened state (Moksha) thus escaping the cycle of birth and rebirth into this world. Seems instead you reverted back to the _samsara_ (world filled with Maya) - although not necessarily for me to judge whether that is good or bad.
Good point. For better or worse, most Japanese government sites firmly stayed in the 90s area design with very little images and CSS.

Tax agencies are a pretty good barometer of what is considered to be the minimal effort, for comparison

- France: https://www.impots.gouv.fr/

- Germany: https://www.bzst.de/

France would be on par with the JP, and I actually kinda like the Italian trade-off of high info density upfront and more spacing and pictures coming way below the fold.
What's the relevance of the Gates Foundation? Gates didn't sell Microsoft in order to start it, he used his own personal fortune (fine, Warren Buffet helped, but he didn't sell any golden geese to afford it, either).
You can also version control Word files. That’s not an argument. Apparently plain text is anything and everything. What makes docx file not plain text? You can still edit and view it with your text editor it is just harder.
Nah. But in all seriousness, this is totalitarian ruling. Wtf eu? RT might be a trash fire propaganda news but the EU ain’t at war with Russia. If the people want to listen to the propaganda, and I’m sure there were listener equivalents in neutral places either via SW or MW broadcast in ww2.

Making it illegal to route packets to them and to circumvent the block? Garbage tier laws.
Depends on the software type.

Editor, diff tool -- something that can co-exist with open alternatives, and works similarly for all users? Sure.

A custom software with expensive support contract? That works too. Just don't be too greedy -- I have seen multiple "internal rewrite" projects because vendor was asking for too much money.

Something that needs lots of customization, but at the same time not that expensive, like a build system or a compiler? Probably not a good idea. I spent multiple days digging into source code of both our CI and our build system, and I was able to fix / work around the bugs I saw... But if they were closed source, it would be impossible. And the community is going to be much smaller, too.
Sure. A Lamborghini would be worth more if gas was free and there aren’t that many people who can afford gas for a lambo, but you’re way overestimating global inequality. Plenty of people could afford Chelsea.
We send satisfation surveys after support interactions, and consistently over the past year, 8+ out of 10 businesses have rated their interactions highly.

But it does sound like we did drop the ball with you, and I'd like to figure out what happened if you could forward me an example at edwin@stripe.com.

We have to understand this before we can cope with what is happening? Asking a bit much, in my opinion.

> moving their property across borders

This seems rather naïve. If you can't leave a country because your government requires you to fight a war rather than leave, how do you get yourself, or any physical property, out? If you're in jail, justified or not, how does crypto help you move your property? Or the government you live under simply doesn't allow exiting? What if all international airports refuse to allow flights originating in your country to land, and trains and roads and ships are far beyond capacity? Even your intangible crypto wealth can't be moved across borders, if you yourself aren't able to cross a border.
> Yes, but it's never been fully implemented. Separating superuser/root from normal users was a good first approximation

It sure has, in at least 6 different operating systems that have actually seen real world use, and 3 programming languages since the mid 70s.
For just a lesson of writing code to achieve a specific functionality, you can streamline the process a lot by just starting with a template and let students fill in the gaps. So you don't necessarily make them spend time on "public static final void main", but setup a project in which students can type code, build and see results. To teach them to write robotics code, you can create a Robot class for them to play with, and then gradually
move into the more lower level details. That's certainly how it's done in many college courses too, where templates are setup and students are expected to incrementally add things to address the specific concepts they need to learn, but without worrying too much about details that don't relate to the fundamental concepts. Sure it requires some investment on your side, but your students benefit from being able to start picking up a more marketable skill. This also helps them see your code organization and existing implementation, which they can mimic if they want to extend beyond what's taught.

Matlab is really not a good example imo because if you start wanting to do a bit more, even if it's just to organize the code in better logical blocks, it bad design and lack of OOP gets in the way and makes further progress slower especially for the more talented students.

And finally, while I agree Java might not be the most optimal to teach at the AP level, what you said isn't worth bashing the language for in general terms. It's still sqaurely the AP curriculum's fault that it chooses Java and at the same time requires it to be taught in a way that's not fun or efficient, and not have updated it in 2 decades (while Java had many iterations)

Creating packages for various distros is not your job as a software developer, and it never was intended to be your job in the first place. At least part of this stance is based on a misunderstanding of how Linux package manager style software distribution works.

You most likely don't have experience creating and maintaining packages for every distro that exists, expecting you to be able to do this would be silly. Typically the users or developers of the countless different distros will be who handles packaging your software though, not yourself!

As a developer you just need to provide the source code, use a standardized build system such as make, cmake, meson, cargo, etc, and a list of libraries that your software depends on. If you do these things, creating a distro specific package for your software will be totally trivial for whoever feels like doing it and contributing to their distro's repo. Most distros have decades worth of tooling accumulated to make packaging software that uses standard build systems absolutely trivial!

Optionally, you can provide a flatpak image (or similar) for users who want to circumvent the system package manager.
:)

Reminds me of the "every pizza is a personal pizza if you work hard and believe in yourself."
"Knowingly and intentionally" seems to apply to the operation (e.g. "you know that you're running a Tor node") - "circumvention" is on the basis of "object or effect". (For ESL speakers: "object" means "goal", "effect" means "result", and Tor obviously has a final, de-facto result of unblocking RT)
Can I ask your logic in why you go to these lengths? Almost seems like hoarding.
How does he catch credit card fraud? What does it look like?
Apologies, that should be fixed now. Bit more traffic than anticipated.
IANAL but to me, this looks (hopefully unintentionally) much more insidious (emphasis mine):

> It shall be prohibited for operators to broadcast or to enable, facilitate or otherwise contribute to broadcast, any content by the legal persons, entities or bodies listed in Annex XV, including through transmission or distribution by any means such as cable, satellite, IP-TV, internet service providers, internet video-sharing platforms or applications, whether new or pre-installed.

So one way to interpret this is that all ISPs are currently violating this simply by enabling end-to-end-encrypted communication. Any service that would enable or facilitate sending RT streams (ie encrypted communication) are violating this.

Heck, even hosting a blog platform where someone posts a screenshot of the RT website would be in trouble. Cloud providers might have to close the accounts of a significant portion of their customers to cover their behinds.

This article must be revised (or even revoked). I’m certain that it is unconstitutional in more than one EU country.
There's ground temperature and snow temperature. Warm ground will melt and absorb the water. Snow above inhibits evaporation from the ground;so the soil moisture content increases. Once a considerable depth of soil thaws, you get the same depth of mud until evaporation, and drainage, surface and subsoil dry it out. It can take weeks. A prolonged cold snap can make it drivable depending depending on tires and weight.

Out here I see the odd tractor with four or even six tires on an axle in the spring.
I actually thought Stripe did decently here, there were periods of silence which sucks. It's odd that you feel they are obligated to explain their internal processes with you?

Things they did right:
1. Immediately acknowledge the issue and raise it to a Specialist.
2. Give you a work-around, so that you don't need to be blocked.
3. Engage the lead PM, to speak to you, to address your concerns.
4. Fix the documentation first, so others know how to fix this and understand the cases.
5. Take feedback that they need to improve the API.
6. Find which customers had an issue and pro-actively reach out to them. (Isn't this what you wanted in the 1st place?)

Things that didn't go well:
1. Long periods of silence between mails.
2. Lack of a bug bounty, sounds like a pretty big miss on their part and a bug bounty would be nice.
In the end, for sufficient discount, value moves irrespective. Druglords wealth is often notional. They might have a lot of cocaine, but they have to accept massive losses. Much worse than Bezos on a bad Amazon share day.

If I am a high net work person with a hundred-million property in the UK, I'm going to find a way to let my friend use it, even if the british legal system refuses to let me receive money for it. In some future date, what goes around comes around, and he lets me use his yacht.

If you rip too many people off, then one of the discount to values is "services rendered" and you can imagine what these services might be.
That's why open research groups like EleutherAI are critical. They've used elbow grease and enthusiasm to follow in the tracks of OpenAI and Microsoft, and some of their members have prolifically coded implementations of the latest and greatest theory in papers.

Huggingface is also worthy of great praise, making the models accessible and lowering the barrier to actual commercial use.

Lastly, Google deserves props for Colab. You can run models that are 80% as good as the ones which initially cost millions of usd to produce. Even the free tier is excellent, and I've pointed various people to them as a resource for developing practical hands-on experience with machine learning.

This is a wonderful ai summer we're having, appreciate it while you can!
Both current and blockchain solutions are pay to win in the exact same ways. The blockchain solution solves other problems.

If we agree that there's no known solution for the "pay to win" part, I'm not sure what your criticism of this even is?

The unbundling of JavaFx from JDK has made using JavaFx a bit of a chore in a new project. I think it was a bad move, and has made the future of JavaFx uncertain.

Question is can JavaFx be recommended for a new project, given the uncertainty of its future and lack of popularity.
Umm, those things have nothing to do with web _design_, but are rather a function of market dynamics

The simplest answer to this is to look at what the previous regulation (the one being amended by this one) says[1].

Article 12 is completely unmodified except for the scope of parties involved. Since the original (2014) regulation didn't ban Tor, I think it's a safe assumption that this one doesn't either.

The more detailed answer: the article actually reads as follows:

> It shall be prohibited to participate, knowingly and intentionally, [...]

"Knowingly and intentionally" is the operative phrase here. In order to show that this article poses a threat to Tor's legality, you'd need to show at either Tor's operators or Tor itself intentionally provides service to RT. This is a stronger standard than passive service, the kind Tor actually provides.
