You can set language to be anything you want regardless of location.

E.g. on mobile just scroll to bottom of fist page and pick different language.

E.g. on desktop just go to settings and pick language.

I'm pretty sure this works awesome since I've used this all my life.

I would expect power users to look for simple solution instead of ranting.

Who the hell are you guys if you can't find language settings!!!
I completley disagree with this. It depends on the person you are talking to. If this is a support chat or you are dealing with someone who is only there to take questions then yes... just state your question.

In every other scenario, when someone says hello, greet them back. Exchange small talk if you must. That is just basic human pleasentries which for some reason is not allowed when you're using a keyboard? It's politeness, don't be an ass about someone hitting you up on slack with a greeting. You are a person like any other not a support robot.

Chat rooms made for support with a "no hello" rule should be designated at work or for a n open source project when technical requests and discussions happen.

PM/DMs should have the same etiquette as a person walking up to your cubicle or office. They will knock/greet first. They won't just show up and start blurting out code snippets and urls.
Like, eating, walking out, talking with wife, reading something, playing xbox occasionally - like the things that I wanna keep even if I do the side project.

You personally might not mind, but I suspect the people who license you the ticker feeds might. ;-)
Feels like you could build an auto-responder that detects this, like a low tech version of that Google feature where it screens your calls and asks them why they are calling before giving you the option to answer.
The US DOD had a budget of $753.5 billion [0] which would make it the 23rd largest country by gdp if it was a country [1] or greater than 196 countries so that does not surprise me.

That might in general be a good idea, but there are situations where it could get awkward - for example, reading in one window and typing in another.

My company is new to messaging, only getting teams fully set up two months in to lockdown/WFH v1.

People still write messages like this...

-------------------------------------------

Hello <Name>,

<General bullshit they want to talk about>

Thanks,

I know who its to and from, its a two way chatting application... it bogles the mind sometimes.

Why do we still do this? Shouldn't we adapt to partial remote as permanent reality? The urban way of life was completely transformed by the office
I use this link often. I'll respond to a "hi" with "hey, what's up", and turn the text into a link to this site, like [hey, what's up?](https://nohello.net/en/) (I know markup links don't work here, but that's even better as an example).

I've "trained" most people who do this to just keep going and ask their questions, rather than waiting for me to respond. Though unfortunately they mostly still break that up into several messages, so it's still more annoying than it could be.

> there is something inherent in middle eastern culture writ large that makes people utterly incapable of living peacefully together

By any means this is the case, but in the current state of affairs, given the amount of hatred in the region, if Israel was a region of Palestine with no sovereignty, I don't think it would fare well for the Jews. How do I know this? This is publicly routinely announced by the Palestinian government, who, granted, are not the Palestinians, but you just need a minority for a persecution to happen. Of course peace and living along together is eventually possible.
> Jews are or have been persecuted in all middle eastern countries.

Jews have been prosecuted on many parts of the world and on different timelines of history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Jews

They have also found refugee in Muslim community from Christian prosecution multiple times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_under_Musl...

> Laws like these lower the probability of Jews becoming a minority in Israel.

It doesn't. The children still remain Isreali citizens. Which means this is an inconvenience to the spouse and a quite racist law.

> And the probability of them being persecuted provided they become a minority is zero?

History shows that their prosecution, demographics, and geography are not that related. Jews got prosecuted because they held significant wealth in a certain societies. It's a power/wealth grab in certain cases; and finding an easy scapegoat in other cases.
The volume of CD sales grew compared to 2020, but was less than the volume from 2019. If you look at the data chart from the link in the article (https://www.riaa.com/u-s-sales-database/) you can see the trend is still down. The revenue per cd in 2019 = $13.28, 2020 = $15.29, 2021 = $12.54.

Combined 2018/9 sales totaled 99.3M units sold vs combined 2020/1 78.2M units sold. There was a huge drop in 2020. Is it safe to assume that sales not done in 2020 were done in 2021?

I don't know what the long term effects will be, but I have a habit of smiling at babies in public and I have been pleasantly surprised to notice that even while wearing a mask babies and small children will recognize I'm smiling at them and smile back. I also remember hearing a story recently that people are better at detecting lies when the liar is wearing a mask, so the side-effects may not all be negative.

This isn't that hard. Let's say loss of quality-adjusted life years due to accidents or something.
I've found that saying hi in a tech related chat just adds noise, but in a social chat there's no issue and can lead to conversation.
I've always instinctively done this, although I'm generally the exzception.
Hi! Sry for the lag on the reply here, I didn't have time to read those through fully but I skimmed both.

I want to make one thing super clear, we don't make money off users trading, we are an investment/analysis tool and we make no claims/would never be a predatory entity that makes claims of x% returns/anything like that. We genuinely care about educating our users, and then letting them make their own decisions.

As for the links you sent (thanks for that btw!) I would bucket this with a bulk of the education out there, that's existed for a while, but hasn't been solving the financial literacy issue. The reason we believe this is the case is that education you sent is boring/static white text. Most people in the younger generations just don't learn that way. Further that education isn't inlined/when you need it while looking at financials.

A lot of our users/the founders find it much easier/more inviting/more fun & interactive to learn with the "clicky" ? modules we embed inline all over the site to define everything in small chunks. We are finding this is a way to learn where you actually remember things, but more importantly are engaged/having fun learning it. We have yet to see a tool besides ours to execute on this properly since it's very hard to create a consumer product that makes learning investing easy. Most importantly noobies feel comfortable in our tool, 99% of people who are brand new to investing get scared to death and never start when sent 20+ 10pt size font articles.

Lastly, my point isn't to say those resources aren't great, they are. But statistically people will just not read that, and/or not internalize it since it's not being applied when they need it while researching numbers/S1 filings/SEC reports/etc
I do this, i think its a hold over from WhatsApp.

I worked at a company that would send these sort of messages over Slack, including a priority, and expect some kind of ACK back within a certain amount of time. It was the worst thing for productivity that I've experienced in a working environment, everyone hated it except for the CEO and CTO who implemented it.

Receiving the SYN message already distracted the programmer who received it. If the sender had included the entire question or opening message all at once, then the receiver could decide if it was worth their time to answer at that moment.

Instead the receiver of the message needed to break away from their thought process and devote time to determining the scope of the question.

Do not recommend.
no because an in person convo doesn't have a 2-10minute delay of complete silence between the hello and what they are asking for.

example just from yesterday:

them 10:10am Hello

me 10:10am hey what's up

them 10:20am hey do you remember me? I used to work with so and so

me 10:20am yeah I can help you with any questions now

them 10:45am nvm I figured it out by reading the error message.

I'm not full time support, I'm a dev on a team. So that kind of interruption without any context at all derailed my work believe it or not. Fine for a legitimate issue, not that great when you didn't even read the error message.

when someone comes up to you in person they probably have their full question formulated. online they can just say hi without embarrassment apparently.
uMatrix seems even better, but no uMatrix for mobile. Reasons.
I watch quite a few tech talks (via Youtube, mostly conferences), mostly to familiarize myself with concepts, and tbh I rarely have issues being "bored" by talks like the ones described as boring in this post.

I get bored, however, by fluffy talks that have lots of memes and pictures and big text and anecdotes. In any reasonably complex actual tech talk, you'll have concepts that need slides with a bit of text and maybe even formula (or code), simply because the audience will sometimes get distracted or forget what you said a minute ago. I find that perfectly fine and better than the alternative.

So overall this seems to be advice for people who wish their tech talks were actually TED talks.
Corollary: In online chat, do this:

Quick question, does the foo widget support splines?

...instead of:

Quick question.
I don't agree that there is anything fundamentally antisemitic about criticizing Israel or its policies. While I think some antisemitic people hold that viewpoint, there is plenty of valid criticism for the actions of the Israeli government and its military. Sometimes, saying criticism of Israel is antisemitic is just a way of shutting down someone who is giving criticism, though, conversely I will also say that it's unfair to claim any dissent to dissent is an accusation of antisemitism. I'm not accusing you of that, I did want to bring it into the discourse though, given your point.

I will include the quote you're citing here for the purpose of a TL;DR: Under a list of "Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life," included is "claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor."

That's their definition, they do say at the top of the article it's a "Non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism," so anyone can draw their own. I personally don't think it's necessarily antisemitic to argue Israeli's policies are discriminatory/or racist, depending on how you are defining racism.
I was responding to the parent above me. Not the article.
100% agreed. "Hey, do you have the link for the ticket connected to incident 34567?" is a 30-second task that I can certainly help you with at any time. "Hey, can we discuss the details of this bug report and iron out the multiple specific steps required to work it, along with some help debugging it?" is a 30-to-60-minute task that I may not have enough time for right now. I can't know whether I've "got a sec" to help you if I don't yet know what you need help with... which could be explained in a quick sentence after the "hello" without waiting for a response before telling me.
Plenty of normal people have a pet peeve about getting texted out of the blue with just “wyd” or “U there?”

That would be the normie equivalent of sending a “hello” on Slack or Teams.
> Do you just run up to people and ask them a question in person, or do some kind of greeting first?

The problem is not whether you're greeting or not. Nobody complained about having a greeting in their messages. The problem is that chats are very asynchronous; by the time I read your message you could've solved it already. There is absolutely nothing wrong in writing "Hey, I need help with <x>. I already tried <y> and <z>. If you have a few moments I'd appreciate the help". Then the answer would be "Hello! Oh, of course, the answer is <a>".

This is especially important if you're getting a lot of messages every day. At the end of the day, that amounts to a non-negligible amount of time lost, just because the person didn't write their problem right after their greeting - which they would've done anyway after your greeting.
Lets actually discuss this talking point then. I'm not afraid to do so.

Tactically speaking, why would Ukraine send a fighter into Russian-controlled northern Ukraine to fire upon Belarus, when there's a convoy of tanks roughly 10-km away from Kyiv?

We have satellite footage of where the Russian forces are. We know that the Russian-supply train has ample surface-to-air missiles, as well as an advantage in Air Fighters over Ukraine. Any such operation from Ukraine to Belarus would be extremely high risk, and very low reward (at least, low-reward compared to breaking the encirclement of Kharkiv, Kyiv, or other besieged cities).

Do you have a tactical suggestion of why an attack on Belarus is in Ukraine's favor?
Isn’t it a bug of the chat app, notifying someone for each message despite having a UX which incentivizes sending a message each time you type Enter?
I look at IM as closer to oral conversation than email. If you want async communication, email. If you want async communication from someone who wants synchronous communication disable notifications and reply later. I don't see why people have to expect all people to communicate in the same cold, unfriendly way.

You're entirely discounting the cost of physical storage. It's a non-zero and non-trivial cost to store and move all those CDs. If you've ripped them with high quality lossless settings you will not get better sound later reripping as FLAC. So unless you only ever ripped them with the old unregistered l3enc (limited to 112kbps and a shitty encoder anyways) there's little reason to rerip them.

You may want to keep physical CDs for nostalgia or because you like the physical artifact but if you've ripped them in the past 15 or so years your lossless copy is likely transparent to lossless to the human ear.

They forgot the most important one IMO: document the intended duration and schedule of your cron in a comment above. Most people can't decipher the cron syntax by heart or without making a mistake, and among those most people, there is probably you when you are tired.

Of course, there is always crontab guru (E.G: https://crontab.guru/#*/12_*_*_\*), but still, it's easier to find out with a comment next to it. Besides, it documents the intent, which may shows that there is a mismatch with the reality.

> How is this extreme and irrational assumption about "unable" supported?

How is my assumption 'extreme and irrational'?

I'm sure parents do not have their masks on at home either.

But most people outdoors were wearing masks. Relatives, grandparents etc were NOT encouraged to visit, but if they did they should take precautions - that would be wearing masks.

Young children develop by seeing people - they look to faces. A face with a mask on cannot be read by a child. It can't be anything but harmful. I don't see what's to debate about this, but if you want to explain how this is a good or neutral thing - please make an argument.

If I was to push further, preventing normal interactions is a form of child abuse. But then I also think that piercing a child's ears or damaging their body is also abuse - and this isn't a popular view either, albeit I think this too is self-evident.
I agree. I think we should be discussing geoengineering. Outside of technical feasibility, I believe there are two arguments against doing geoengineering:

- It'll reduce the motivation to transition. You can imagine the current politicians and lobbies against climate change trotting out an argument along the lines of we don't need to transition because we have geoengineering.
- The second argument which holds more weight I think is that it creates a time bomb. You need to continue increasing the amount of geoengineering that's happening. I believe the name for this is "termination shock": all the pent up warming happens in a much smaller time scale which could have massive unintended consequences.

Bunnie is probably one exception to that rule, though.
I think you are missing their point, which is that under Israeli law the multiple wives are already not legally recognized, so this change (not recognizing Palestinian spouses for citizenship) was not needed to prevent what you are talking about.
I don't think anyone "in the west" is advocating for the treatment of women you are talking about. People here are just pointing out that a) this is an incredibly broad brush and b) doesn't seem to be directly related to whether the state of Israel recognizes legal marriages to foreign Arabs as a path to citizenship for those people.
This makes me wonder how one would even prove that something were encrypted.

Do encrypted files/data universally follow any sort of pattern? If not, then how would they be discernible from transmitting random bits? Will that be illegal, too?

Note that I'm not talking about any specific existing encryption algorithms or protocols. I am positing that someone could devise a new one that outputs data that is indistinguishable from noise (without breaking the cipher/keys).
When you struggle to think of what can't be composed in this architecture, it's a whole new way of building. It's clearly the expression of an incredibly elegant mind. Watching that demo was a moment that reminded me of a now famous comp.os.minix usenet post from the early 90s.

Hi :) Thank you for that laugh. That's so true.
I do exactly follow the no-hello "rules" but I frankly don’t care about how my colleagues reach me. We are humans, they can just say hello. I’ll answer or not depending on my availability but even if I answer and they don’t follow up, it will not ruin my day.

If I don’t want to be disturbed, I just switch the notifications off. Magic, no more hellos.

I really don’t understand why it bother people so much. And I’m saying this having strong ADHD and applying no-hello myself. There are so much more important reasons to be upset in life and at work.
What's the difference between:

Hi!
<< Message failed to send >>

and

Hi! We haven't spoken in forever, what's up?
<< Message failed to send >>

What would you do different in the first case that you wouldn't do in the second case?
Cool, it's available as an AUR package in Arch Linux too: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fraidycat-git
It works but probably comes out as rude in a lot of cultures.
Walking up to say "hi" and have a casual chat with someone who's deep in focus work at the office is just as unreasonable. You don't know whether people are "available" on Slack because they're open to a casual chat (as at the water cooler) or because they want to be not totally unavailable should something urgent come up (like being at their desk). Since you don't know, it behooves you to treat it as the latter.
That case is to thwart adblockers abilities to block ads. I think the OP's question was more rhetorical, as in they don't eat their own dog food type of thing.
If you say "I'm not going to pay the price for that" it implies you think the price is too high. But if you want lower prices you want globalization. The system hasn't "crumbled". The prices have gone up. Where are the Italian gas fields that went unexploited because of globalization?

What Pooge said. Chats are more realtime than, say, emails, but they are not as realtime as face-to-face communication, and should not be treated as such. Saying hello is great! Saying only hello and giving no other information is not.
> as we have learned over the past few weeks, sanctions are an effective means of pushback

Not really. The war in Ukraine is intensifying. Russia sees the sanctions regime as an act of war. I'm not sure what the off ramp would be, and I generally support the sanctions. But I don't think your conclusions are sound. Pushback? Yes. Effective? Not so far.

Here you are perpetuating more western propaganda and potential misinformation. First of all the difference between a "biolab" and a "bioweapons lab" is a semantic difference without actual substance. If covid was released out of the wuhan lab, the now predominate theory, this wasn't a "bioweapons lab" but just a "biolab". What is the practical difference? Fact is, anyone performing research that could be used as a bioweapon doesn't actually call it a bioweapon. They just in practice do all the same things a bioweapons lab would and pretend its just "for defense". You say potato, I say potato.
