Yes, food transplanted is always food adapted to local tastes and ingredients.

What I find interesting is the way that strict recipe following culture interacts with interpretive make-it-up-as-you-go culture.

Take Italy for example - recipe culture is very strict - you make the dish _exactly_ the way Grandma taught you or it is wrong (and by implication bad). Italy has an incredible food culture, and this strictness has resulted in amazing food being largely unchanged for hundreds of years. Every village member has experienced the exact same lasagne for ever - even if it's just the tiniest bit different to the next village.

By contrast countries with little or no food culture simply adopt and fuse everything they come across. The UK is a good example, long lambasted for bland food, there was nothing to lose and everything was assimilated. It promotes experimentation - mixing things never thought of - every day a new adventure.

Each influence is named, "Indian", "Chinese", "Thai", all of which would be unrecognisable in those areas. In one sense it is none of those, it is "British" food.

Thus an Indian restaurant in London does not pretend to be "authentic" (unless of course it explicitly does) - it wants to offer an amazing meal you will enjoy.

An Indian meal in London is different to one in Mumbai is different to one in Beijing is different to one in Washington - and I think the world is richer for that.
A large part is down to the trade in beaver pelts Hudson Bay company, and the Russian expansion into Siberia was in large part down to obtaining more beaver pelts.

Beaver pelts have been referred to as ‘soft gold’.
Is there anything worth doing that doesn't have a risk? I know this is a shallow dismissal. I've been biking long enough to have such stories to tell. But I'm so glad for it. I wouldn't trade it.
We should stop taking any word from Russia seriously. They are not interested in agreements.

What did they change the license to? If you have some examples, I would be curious to see how they handled that.

I was under the impression that it was Commons Clause that people started avoiding in favor of other "cloud protection licenses", both to avoid possible confusion and because Commons Clause got visceral reactions from some members of FLOSS community. Unfortunately, other similar licenses are less recognizable. The whole point of generic licenses is that they should be well known, widely used, and the legal departments already know their tradeoffs. If each company writes their own license then this makes it difficult for other companies to use their software, because legal departments need to check every license separately.

Is there a generic license that is the same (in spirit) as Apache + Commons Clause?

> You're comparing apples to oranges.

No, we couldn't be. i mean, every time in these crypto threads cyptobros compare crypto to the Internet, and to cars, and to the wheel, and to..., and it's fine.

But when we compare it to something, it's apples to oranges? You don't say.

> Crypto is just too big to be adopted quickly

It's not big.
Not blocked here on 3. You’re right in that the networks often have the “adult content” filter (porn, gambling etc.) turned on, but you should be able to turn it off pretty easily. I suspect it’s that filtering that’s blocking archive.org for you
Which is understandable. WFH people are more introverted so they want to have their needs met by staying home. I'm introverted WFH btw.
> Speculation is a stabilizing force overall.

a sophisticated speculator is.

an unsophisticated speculator is actually destabilizing, because they might incorrectly speculate capital (that they cannot really afford), causing a loss in market efficiency in allocating capital to where it's needed.

The 2008 GFC is in part caused by unsophisticated speculators (home buyers) to speculate on property. Initially they saw some good profits, which lead to even more unsophisticated people to try get in on the game (and the banks happily obliged).
You asked if Syria was at war with the US and I responded that they are at war by proxy.

Also, I don't like the framing of "Syria is the enemy". Assad's regime is the enemy of the US-backed group who are also Syrians.

I would imagine in Europe compared to the USA there are a lot more people in very small apartments or share houses in the cities, they do not lend themselves well to home working.

That being said, it amazes me how no good search engines exist. By good I mean relevant results and less poisoning with advertising. It shouldn't be an impossible undertaking. Probably no one could find business sense in a decent search engine. If that is the case, I wonder if is possible to make a community backed search engine, similar to how Wikipedia works.

A lot of people in upper management are there because they aren't concerned about the effect their decisions have on their colleagues.
And they will still get a ton of applications because of the prestige and CV building opportunities.
Amen! It is all about choices and in the grand scheme I feel bikes are a fantastic choice.
This is the Broken Window Fallacy (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window) -- without the military spending, those same jobs could have been created by the government to do something useful, like fixing our crumbling infrastructure.
If enough members of society disagree with the terms of the contract, they may vote in representatives who change those terms, or alternatively they may revolt and install new representatives that way (see e.g. the French Revolution, American Revolution or Arab Spring).

If you instead hold the view that _every single individual_ should be able to opt out of the contract (i.e. should be able to choose not to be subject to the rule of law), then you go back to ‘anarchism is the only form of free government’, which is where we started this discussion 6 comments ago. QED.
This is not in short supply either. In California, the capital of the American housing crisis, the overwhelming majority of new residential development in the last 50+ years is low-density single-family on greenfield land. This is certainly true within the high-demand metro areas like the Bay and Greater LA. We could multiply the housing supply of these metro areas by many times without ever building on greenfield land ever again. The land is unbelievably not scarce. It is just illegal to put a sane number of people on it.
I'd bet someone just wanted to teach a course for fun and without compensation, but they had to formalize it and pose an actual job listing online for a month.

Probably explains why the "Open date" & "Final date" are just 30 days apart.
We've started on Firebase Cloud Functions, but lately I've been interested in moving our serverless stack to Vercel's functions instead - the developer experience is much better (no idea about cold-starts though). We'd lose the neat integration with Firebase Auth, though...
This either should be illegal or already is.

> shoot at enemy conscripts

But most Russians affected by these aren't shooting back. They aren't conscripts or have anything to do with the war (doubly so now that sanctions are in effect).

Shooting at solders trying to hurt you is one thing, but that's not what's happening here.
There has to be more to the story than just this job posting. Something is going on here.
I don't know exactly what you mean by "budget" feature, But I think AWS recently added "advanced payments", where you can recharge your account in advance to pay your invoices, though as I understand you still need a CC to sign up (which will be used if you in case go over your budget) which is a shame.

Also I think Vultr supports prepayments (even using cryptocurrency).

EDIT: Oh it looks like you need to add a cc or paypal nevertheless even if you use crypto.
It's either a 40 minute commute with a 2km walk at the end, or a 40 minute commute involving a changeover to a bus. I never realised I could just... ignore Google maps and walk.

Prior to this I've done 1hr+ public transport commutes, and I'm not willing to say they're a net positive, but they're better for me than no commute.
His prognosis for life surviving deep into the old and cold universe was counterintuitive, to me at least.
> but the value of the land underneath will go up if you increase the amount of houses allowed to be built on said land.

which is what would incentivize the owner of that land (ostensibly a single family home land owner) to sell and let high density to be built. If the land doesn't increase in value this way, the owner would not have any incentive to sell.
Why don't keyboards double as a port hub? Obsolescence, price, and reliability. Combining more functions into that single item means that there is more than can go wrong. Keyboards are (were?) made for USB-A and don't need speeds above 1.0: the keyboard/dock combo should be something closer to a Thunderbolt 4 hub.
It's very Orwellian sounding.
Your comment reminded me of this story where a space program director decided, on a hunch or whim, to point Hubble at a seemingly empty space for 100 hours.

It's probably useful mostly to companies which want to avoid the security levels needed to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Consider a seller with a shopping cart program. One that outsources the collection of the payment data, and gives back a token. The token can be used for billing the customer, but the payor, payee, and maybe the shipping address are encapsulated in the token. So possession of the token only lets you submit new transactions that match on those items. The seller doesn't have to have PCI DSS compliance.

This is useful for systems which rebill the customer. They don't have to store the CVV, for which there are high security requirements. If an unauthorized party gets the token, they can cause rebilling, but not buy from others or, hopefully, change the shipping address. Also, in case of trouble, it's easy to invalidate tokens. People have to re-auth, but not get new credit cards.

It's a similar concept to OpenID, in some ways.
Dutch passport photos were once taken at angle in order to more clearly capture a picture of the ear. Wonder whether there is some weird bureaucratic legacy here, Taiwan being a former Dutch colony (Formosa)
Yes, it definitely sounds like it breaks minimum wage laws, and if it doesn't, precisely how it avoids doing that would be something quite interesting.
Yeah - we do store foreign keys, but Firestore only supports fetching a batch of 10 keys at a time afaict. It might just be the wrong tool, like you said.

We do very much want real-time updating, but there are okay integrations for that with RBDMS's now (eg Supabase). Primarily, I'm curious about some of the newer/more modern DBs, and whether anyone has had good or bad experiences with them!
Probably off topic, but how can an institution prioritize the following 3 efforts simultaneously?

1. "The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer"

2. "It is the policy of the University to undertake affirmative action, consistent with its obligations as a federal contractor, for minorities and women"

3. "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender identity..."
Because vehicles bring value (transport people, food, resources, etc) and have energy optimisations (mass transit, electric, etc) because the energy use as a gatekeeper is not an inherent part of its functionality.

I’d be shocked if video games as an industry outranked crypto for energy use. Even if we assume all gamers run their GPU’s at 100% the entire time they play games, miners will quickly dwarf the energy usage because games don’t play 24/7.

Machine Learning is computationally expensive, but unlike crypto, is basically constantly trying to make their systems faster and more efficient all the time. Again-computation isn’t used as a gatekeeper here. There’s no “hash this pointlessly until enough work as been done so you can do x”, it’s just “do this work as quickly and efficiently as possible”. Things like TPU’s in ML aren’t a threat or arms race, they’re a net improvement.

Crypto gets targeted for its energy use because it uses an insane amount of energy for even the most rudimentary functions. Even if current payment processors use the same amount of energy right now as crypto does, you have to consider the relative scales: those payment processors handle the vast, vast majority of payments with that energy; scaling current crypto up to that levels would bring its energy use to astronomical levels.
> 5.4% of Americans are unbanked

Did you even look at why they are unbanked?

--- start quote [1] [2] ---

According to the Federal Reserve data, 14% of households making less than $40,000 are unbanked, compared to only 3% of households making more than that amount.

...

“Don’t have enough money to meet minimum balance requirements” was cited by 29.0 percent of unbanked households as the main reason for not having an account—the most cited main reason

--- end quote ---

But sure. Do tell me how magical crypto that expects you to pay wildly fluctuating fees for every single transaction is going to save the unbanked.

Cue in "not all cryptocurrencies in 3... 2... 1..."

But that is the thing ... the "economic consequences" meant that a lot of people could not buy those houses with earnings.

Pre-civil rights era meant lynching of succesfull people and unavailability of the jobs that allow to buy good place for massive amount of people.
This sounds pretty big-brother. People can get services like phone/internet service anonymously. The potential for misuse is not generaly a sustainable argument for restricting access in a free society.

(Besides this, they also tried other payment methods than credit card, like bank payment).

How is this legal?

Not a rhetorical question. I genuinely would like an explanation of how you can legally post "Applicants must understand there will be no compensation for this position" in a job posting, when minimum wage laws dictate the minimum wage that can be paid for employment.

Specifically, in California [1]:

> Although there are some exceptions, almost all employees in California must be paid the minimum wage as required by state law.

The 'exceptions' are for learners (those with little experience), the mentally ill, and the disabled, which all have different wage laws (none of which allow any of those groups to be employed for free either).

I'm not sure why everyone jokes about British food being bland. That's actually Japanese food.

British food is all the same color (brown), often some kind of sludge with mystery bits in it, and they want you to try several different gross things all called "pickle", but they have spices. Mustard is a spice.
Maybe it's a quantum observer effect and the galaxies only exist because there's an observer. Dark matter/energy is need to make things balance only because we haven't been looking in all the right places.

It might be another way to graft onto external financing, like having a department's chair financed by some company. This will of course lead to undesirable consequences, but for some time now, university boards only seem interested in real estate and funds.
How does that address the captchas?
How would that arise, that someone is connected enough to get them to post a course but not pay them to teach it? You can't just walk into a department and volunteer to teach a course.

People still have 'lucky' rituals they perform before the game-- even people who aren't actually participating engage sometimes. This kind of nonrational performative behavior is common with all humans, even today. It's because we live in a hyper-rational age and we actively resist superstitions that some find it strange. It's just a human psychology thing, though, so everyone is subject to it. In 500 years they may look back and find some of the things you do are just ridiculous ignorant superstitions to them.
WFH is fantastic for ICs and misery for decision makers. You’re seeing pro-office bias from the latter because humans are optimised for building alignment when they meet in person. If you’re an IC that doesn’t need to build influence then, indeed, WFH is bliss.

Not all tech work is about sitting in front of a glowing screen, writing code. It’s about achieving a business goal that brings in revenue, and all the alignment throughout the org that’s needed to get that done.

Repository layout, test framework changes, factoring out core components to make a long term stable branch, persuading teams to collaborate at their bleeding edges rather than by internal releases, how to ship auto formatting code with the lowest negative impact on everyone else…

Decision making, even on technical topics, is a people-centric skill.
This is how American higher education gets hallowed out by opportunistic administrators that have carved out high-paying jobs in the non-profit sector.
I was actually neogtiating with my university-employer to _get_ such a job. Why you ask? Research is my thing, I can win grants which easily allow me to pay my own salary, hopefully til retirement. I just need the affiliation to be able to apply for many grants.

In my case the employer actually declined, because of the risks involved with German job security laws (it may have put me in a position to sue for a paid position after some time).
And everyone else has to waste their time applying for a job for which the successful applicant is predetermined in order for the university to be able to tick the box that it was awarded fairly.
