Yes. I was in the Cub Scouts in the early 80s and later the Boy Scouts. My fondest memories were the camping trips and the outdoor skills we learned on them. Then at some point they stopped doing them and it simply became a social event for the parents (they'd rent out a large meeting hall and have it catered while just letting the scouts run around and occupy themselves), I quit around that time.
The iOS content blocking framework is nowhere near as powerful as what uBlock Origin can do.
Also w/ 20+ years of experience, I'm fine with missing out on companies that think code interviews tell them much more than they think they do. If they're that focused on individual coding, it might be a position inappropriate for your level of experience. At my level, I enjoy the interviews that are a talk over higher level issues above code syntax and algos, and have found that it's a much better two way street eval that way anyway. Those companies and managers that focus on the wider picture tend to be saner places to work where I can be more productive.
> Well yeah, but we use this specific configuration with the shared centre lane only on the lowest tier of rural roads where traffic is limited and the speed limit is 60 km/h (roughly 40 mph), and some select urban streets where they act as a traffic calming measure¹. Most arterial and collector roads have segregated cycleways, both within and without city limits. That is the basis of our road system. Cyclists and motorists mostly share only local roads/streets (30 km/h (20 mph) speed limit within city limits, 60 km/h without). The exceptions are roads where limited space means cyclists have dedicated cycle lanes which motorists may not use for overtaking, but in those cases motorized traffic won't share lanes with oncoming traffic either.

They actually say that in the video. In Germany they are mostly used in urban settings in streets with speedlimits below 30 km/h I believe. They definitely work if this is a low volume street, however the speed limits need to be enforced (a general problem in many countries IMO).

>What is with this insistence that every culture must be a mixture of foreign cultures? Why can't a town, a small town at that, just have its own culture and be allowed to have that?

Yeah we tried that for like 200 years. Fought a war over it. Didn't work out so great.
Whether "America" refers to the continent or the United States depends on the context.
North American or South American.

But usually they say where they are from in terms of their country. A Japanese person and a Russian, for example, don’t call themselves Asian. They would say they are Russian or Japanese.

In the case of the Americas someone would identify as Chilean, or perhaps Colombian. If you’re from Canada you’d say Canadian, and if you’re from the United States of America you’d say American because any other alternative sounds really dumb and nobody is going to use it.

If you’re from Europe do you call yourself Eurasian? Or are you French? Or British?

We really need to stop trying to make a big deal out of this “American” thing, or else I’m going to call everyone Africa-Eurasians, Americans, or Australians.
I’m a paying customer. They do not like to provide support.
I remember when the first person I knew disclosed that they were trans. The pronoun thing was weird for a day or two. But it's no more a burden than using "they" with you since I don't know your gender.

Calling trans people "delusional" is transphobic. If you don't think of yourself as intolerant, you're probably experiencing cognitive dissonance about the whole thing. If you're not homophobic, ask yourself why you're being so reactive about this.

I grew up in a time when "fag" was tossed around very casually. When I realized that the use of that word hurt people, I stopped. These are not hills to die on.
I didn't watch the show so I don't known the context. Am I supposed to side with him or Canada?
> IQ tests seem woefully outdated and highly biased at best.

Maybe in the early 1900s, but not today.

> As many note, the ability to do well on these tests is greatly increased by practice, as with most testing procedures. The notion that an IQ test is a standalone measure of innate intelligence is not well supported.

Then everyone would score 200+.

> If we go to 'higher level' mental processes, such as pattern recognition, symbolic interpretation, analytical capabilities (i.e. higher maths), and creative capabilities (inventiveness), again we see that these abilities are highly trainable.

Yes. Nutrition, education, etc can help you reach your potential. But there seems to be a natural limit. Not only that, some have a natural talent for it and people have different levels of potential.

If you believe what you believe, then why haven't you used your revolutionary knowledge to increase the IQs of people with downs syndrome. All it takes is training right?
Those are pretty naive and shortsighted views. Some women simply can’t breastfeed, and don’t discover that until the baby is born. Milk doesn’t always come in, feeding can be painful, etc.

Some babies are orphans. You gonna pump a corpse? Or force the child on some other new mother?
By weak right I mean that they are socially constructed and thus depend on society. By strong right I mean they come from nature and don’t depend on society.

Many of the classical philosophers have made strong arguments for the right of bodily autonomy extending to ownership of your labour both in the sense of owning your choice of what to do and owning the fruits of your labours. Income tax is government interfering with your ownership of your own labour which violates this sense of bodily autonomy. You might argue for a weaker notion of bodily autonomy but doing so requires some substantial moral argumentation rather than mere assertion.

As to the idea that property rights are at the core to a free society, can you provide me with an example? Since we are discussing the idea that taxation would be a violation of a property right what I’d like to see is a society where having untaxed land is core to the freeness of society.
Is there anywhere from which a deeper set of facts / characteristics might be gleaned.

E.g., the most quoted books and authors are the Bible and Shakespeare, respectively, with Hamlet the most quoted Shakespearian play.

I'd be curious what the distribution of, say, top 100 or 1,000 quoted works is, and associated dates.
> It's something I've lamented before: Even Americans get kind of brainwashed that their local culture is inferior and everything is better in New York (and California) because that's where so much of our popular media originates and is set.

This reminds me of how Americans are brainwashed into believing that European culture is dramatically better than American culture (Americans are dumb, fat, ignorant, and uncultured while Europeans are intelligent and enlightened). This seems to have eased as our world has become more interconnected, but about a decade ago (before living abroad), this was definitely the impression I had from American media. I'm sure there's some truth to it in certain statistical abstractions, but in general there's enormous variety in America that a comparison of medians doesn't capture. Moreover, there's a lot of cherry-picking that goes on in those comparisons: for instance, I'd never heard any discussion about the significant (~30-50%) discrepancy in take-home (i.e., after tax, healthcare, pension/retirement, etc) income for professionals nor the high cost of living in Europe. Certainly nothing that could feasibly justify stereotypes of American inferiority.
You just created an account to say "education bad" ?
I wouldn't discount the role of tightening US immigration policy either. Starting with the last administration H-1B admissions plummeted: processing times and rejection rates skyrocketed. It's now dicier than ever to come to the US on a H-1B visa.

And despite rhetoric to the contrary the current administration seems intent on upholding these changes - processing for H-1Bs is still nowhere near historical norms.

It used to be that major tech cos would "park" people in Canada to wait for their US visas to clear. I suspect these changes are causing companies to rethink the "wait for US visas" part of the sentence. The more people FAANG parks in Canadian cities the more we will see FAANG-type compensation in those cities.
That is a USA policy, these studies are of Europeans:

> Norwegian researchers analyzed the IQ scores of Norwegian men born between 1962 and 1991 and found that scores increased by almost 3 percentage points each decade for those born between 1962 to 1975 – but then saw a steady decline among those born after 1975.

> Similar studies in Denmark, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Finland and Estonia have demonstrated a similar downward trend in IQ scores, said Ole Rogeberg, a senior research fellow at the Ragnar Frisch Center for Economic Research in Norway and co-author of the new study.
Netflix is a business. Their interest is art they can profit from. Art that drives a lot of people away probably isn't going to make the cut (unless they think it might draw in more people than it pushes away.)
> I imagine in Europe, it's probably Paris and London that draws both French/British and foreigners.

For some people, I'm sure, but don't assume everyone wants the same kind of life.

I could live in London if I chose, and there are some things about it that would be attractive, but on balance I'm far happier with my small-town life 50 miles away.
You're bringing the law into this but I'm not. That's a different issue. I support laws for trans people to have equal rights.

The world won't stop saying negative things about people like me and I accept that. Just last night I was watching Amazon's Bosch and the lead character called someone a "worthless alcoholic." As Vonnegut used to write, "so it goes."
would you be fine with a movie criticizing child pornography, but ending up doing a little bit of CP (fake, of course, but still CP)?

I guess the parent is making a similar comparison.

I am not that enraged by this, but I haven't watched the movie. I am very weary of any "think of the kids" outrage, it's usually bullshit...except the LGBTQ indoctrination at a young age, that is real.
We ended up having 21% of young people to identify as LGBTQ. You can't convince me that this is the base rate and up until now 1 in 5 people were LGBTQ but were just afraid of coming out. https://www.axios.com/2022/02/17/lgbtq-generation-z-gallup
Goat milk was the traditional* answer for intolerance to human milk. Infants typically don't do well with cow's milk.

Unrelated, it's amazing how edtech startups have been beaten by traditional coaching institutions. Not only those institutions are profitable but they are beating growth numbers consistently.
That is a problem with so many themes I see. For a real web site you need something that scales across pages that have little text and a lot of text, mobile and desktop, etc.

> Another feature, that Java finally adopts, after decades of not adopting it.

Back in 1997, James Gosling published an article that serves as a blueprint to Java's evolution to this day: https://www.win.tue.nl/~evink/education/avp/pdf/feel-of-java... He explained it further, as related by Brian Goetz in the first 20 minutes of this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq2WQuWVrgQ

In short, Java attempts to be "a wolf in sheep's clothing," with a state-of-the-art, innovative runtime, wrapped in a language that's intentionally conservative. Java the language only adopts features that have already proven themselves as worthwhile elsewhere, and when mainstream programmers are ready for them. We don't always live up to that standard, but we try.

So another way of putting what you said is that this is another feature that has proven itself enough, for long enough, and that's matured enough for Java to adopt it. Many if not most programming language features don't make it to that stage.

The flip side is to examine which features have never made it to Java and probably never will (at least, they're not on our long-term roadmap). Those include, among others, macros, extension methods, first-class properties, and async/await.

If a company is hemorrhaging money, why not eliminate some office leases and keep more people remote? Maybe that comes later after the self-layoff selection?
That would simply ensure that class actions almost completely cease to exist. And poor people (by which I mean anybody with less means than your average mega-corp) don’t have access to civil remedies in the US.
That has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm saying. What I am saying is that cryptocurrencies are so horrible in every way except anonymity that the ONLY reason you would use it is for illegal activities, speculation, or paranoia.
If the big media approach were about paying for content creation then surely we'd have regulations requiring that shows be available to any selling platform willing to pay the per user cost. Instead it's about creating fiefdoms to lock up content and hold tv/movie culture hostage.

Copyright laws give commercial interests too much power against media consumers.

I guess the only way to win is not too play ...
Doesn't Australia mostly rely on its iron and coal mining? Minerals is basically 2/3d of their exports.
Fixed! Yep, that was a slightly uncharitable reading of the parent post I accept.
Either you are misunderstanding me, or I am misunderstanding you.

Previous situation: You had to hold your staking rewards for 10 years to be able to realize your gains tax-free. When simply buying and holding, the term was 1 year.

New situation: You have to hold your staking rewards for merely a year (like buy&hold) to realize tax-free gains.

Reducing the amount of time before being able to realize tax-free gains benefits both big and small players. (Right?)

However, I think the previous 10 year term was more burdensome on individuals than institutions. Maybe that is where we disagree?
I’m not particularly concerned with the wording on the sign, but this sentiment is exactly why I prefer “sharrows”[1] over designated bike lanes. They very clearly indicate that cyclists are expected to be a part of traffic.

In my experience—at least in Seattle which is more bike friendly than baseline in the US but certainly not on par with Portland—drivers are far more likely to yield to cyclists with these markings than where a bike lane is present. In contrast, I’ve had drivers try to run me off the road, screaming mad, when I had the gall to perfectly legally ride in the main road where a bike lane was present[2]. Even when there was plenty of space for them to pass.

1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_lane_marking

2: Several of my cyclist friends disagree with me on this, but I find the particular bike lane exceedingly dangerous. I frequently avoided it when it was on my daily commute route, after numerous frightening close calls. Riding along with the aggressive drivers really did feel safer.

There was a period where there were a bunch of "Heroku for Python" startups (eg. Gondor.io) that were gaining traction and approximating the Heroku DX. As soon as Heroku added support for Python, they all deflated.

In an alternate timeline where Heroku delayed adding Python support, the competitive pressure to keep the DX simple might have won out.

For other Australians reading this and thinking you can't get into the US, you absolutely can. Look up the E3 visa. It's easy to get because it's reserved entirely for Australian citizens.

Didn’t the US/EU take the high moral of self determination for every country, when supporting Ukraine’s actions? So, if Hungary “self determines” to veto access to NATO, which is its right according to NATO’s rules, why punish it and suffer consequences? It would be the same as Russia invading Ukraine to punish it for “self determining” its choice to join NATO or the EU. I don’t care about rhetoric and window dressing. I want to argue the raw facts. I feel most people here are hypocrites. Let’s agree that the US and EU are equal bandits as Russia. Let’s all drop the hypocrisy.

I read some of this to try to determine how it would compare to a classic operating systems design book - like maybe "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System".

Looking at the Paging [1] chapter, the _Linux Insides_ book has a clear, very technical, description of the meaning of every bit in pointers used for virtual addressing. It includes details like what bits you need to set in order to enable a particular paging mode, so it's really enough detail to actually _do_ something.

I don't think I'm the target audience, but it was interesting to look at.

> this is a transparent gotcha attempt, op wrote "what they've decided are reasonable terms of service" and you pretend that op wrote about their own defintion of reasonable

there is no "transparent gotcha attempt" and it's the op who is making an assumption by using the word "reasonable", it's a qualitative argument the OP is making and it's also called "projection".

it's like you're giggling behind your computer, attempting at rooting out imaginary trolls that only exist in your mind.
As a Canadian I disagree with most of this. Everyone I’ve heard whine about being called a racist or a Nazi seems to in the next breath say something racist or at least homophobic. So you might want to take a look in the mirror if you’re mad about being called those things.

Also, if you want the healthcare system to improve then are you supporting parties and candidates that want to improve it? Or do you just want the Conservatives in power because they don’t call you a Nazi?

> The amount of money you can make in the US as an experienced engineer is probably 5 fold if not more. Senior engineers are easily pulling 7 figures here

This statement is inaccurate for most people.

The salaries for H1B visa holders are actually public [1] and starting salaries for foreigners are more 100k to 200k and nowhere close to 7 figures.

Also the salary levels at FAANGs are mostly known [2] and you have to get very, very far up to even make 7 figures at a fang. An L6 (staff engineer) makes 500k total comp.
