> I wonder how they would verify that with foreigners

This isn't really about consensual heterosexual hooks up, more like someone gets raped, tries to report to the police and ends up in prison for adultery. It happens all the time in Dubai with western tourists or expats.

That's why these laws really exist, to deprive females of any agency.

Furthermore, married or not according to sharia law, homosexual intercourse is automatically adultery.
The term barbaric is used to describe someone's * opinion * of another person/culture/group of people. Anyone is free to describe anyone else's culture as barbaric, that's their opinion.
> Flogging is used in Qatar as a punishment for alcohol consumption or illicit sexual relations. According to Amnesty International, in 2012 at least six foreign nationals were sentenced to floggings of either 40 or 100 lashes.

Just curious, would you share the offending command? I’d be interested to take a crack at it.
Still, I do a lot of browsing the web and did not encounter broken pages on Firefox, luckily.
> There are still plenty of expensive threatments like cancer were the diagnosis is also costly just due to the tech used.

> A proper MRI is expensive, the analysis is slow and need experts etc.

I'm sure that's very true. A company that's struggles to keep a rudimentary chat app running for any length of time, spectacularly miscalculated its fiber project, to name a few obvious ones, does not instill any confidence that they would be the one to improve this. The medical industry is far more conservative and far more complicated than what Google has proven it is able to deal with IMO. You can't just move fast and break things, you can make shit up as you go along, you can't invent your own standards.

> There are plenty of things to optimize.

They've also not performed impressively on any kind of "AI" related thing, if that's what they're thinking. Their self-driving cars are still a curiosity and a long way off being revenue positive, if there is even a path to it, for example. Industry and legislative inertia and baggage aside, I don't even think a big old cumbersome dinosaur like Google has the chops to come in and make a big change. Put it this way if some revolutionary new startup company had a really great idea in healthcare, you would be disappointed if Google bought them.
So countries that trample human and women rights (and everything that comes from it like child marriage, slavery etc) are just a matter of culture? No problems in the world then, just different culture?
In Qatar drinking alcohol in public is not allowed and being drunk in public is a crime.
"I just reactivated my FB profile [which I had deactivated] because the feed has become so toxic", at a guess; like, giving it another chance. Note how the next sentence was something about going to unfriend most of their FB "friends", which would probably be useful if you're deciding to go back to it because it's the only place online where your mother hangs out, or something.
>I wonder how they would verify that with foreigners

If you're caught, then you, as the foreigner, will have to verify it. So it's not their problem.

But on the plus side, you'd have all this time while awaiting trial or in jail to do it...

>Although I can't help but snicker at the image of a bunch of poor cops desperately trying to memorize marriage certificates from around the world.

Cops wont have to memorize anything. If it comes to that, and someone is reported and arrested or questioned for this reason, then he would need to provide the certificate, and some clerk will have to verify it.
> USA isn’t perfect, but being gay isn’t punishable by jail time here.

Well, not since 2003, at least. For now.
FIFA only nominally is a private, officially non-profit (yet actually very much for-profit), entity.

They're embroiled in politics at the highest level because football / soccer arguably is the world's most popular (spectator) sport, which is something politicians gladly make use of to promote their own agendas and careers.

FIFA World Cups more often than not involve large public infrastructure programs.

FIFA and its high-ranking officials on the other hand profit in various ways, too, from "mere" tax holidays to downright corruption.

The title is a bit weird, since I think this will be more of an issue for people who are in a serious/long-term relationship but aren't married.
Predicting through jump tables is no small part of the purpose of indirect branch prediction. This impacts two critical abilities here: 1. Good local decisions from the compiler optimizer; 2. Good execution by superscalar microarchitectures.

This discussion runs the risk of being as dated as advice to write macros rather than functions due to insufficiently aggressive inclining. However, as it stands today anecdotally, I've never seen compiler optimization inline through a indirect call in a jump table, and I have seen numerous examples of inlining through switch. I've also seen switch compile down to computed goto. Santana in his analysis of Indirect Branch Speculation indicates that the execution of these branches is less refined relative to direct branches.

Switch statements are a pretty good default.
Well, you are right to some extent, but in practice you don't need "all possible uses" and instead you are looking for a specific behavior, which you can easily encode in a test that uses a simulator.

After all Alan Turing was supposed to have been gay and his input is all over computers and smart phones!

Now I also hope this is actually designed to cut down on people trafficking and the exploitation of the less fortunate, because there have been some nasty diseases going around and virus hide in parts of the body where the immune system cant go, like the testes, ovaries, eyes and brain.

It's not about this being football. It's because those guys are friendly governments to western interests.

"Although I can't help but snicker at the image of a bunch of poor cops desperately trying to memorize marriage certificates from around the world."

I do not think, this is how it works around there. "The poor cops" will have no problem locking anyone in, until they can proof in a way that pleases the cops, that their papers are allright.

I doubt this law will be enforced strictly as this would cause too much bad press, when important people(from rich western nations) are getting problems, but some poor workers are probably have to get their papers right, translated, locally certified, etc.

Such laws have some far-fetched, surprising (at least for Westerners) and very creepy consequences.

I've read a story about a Swedish girl that had been date-raped while staying on one of Gulf states. Having been used to European legal standards, she reported this incident to the police, only to find out that not only her case was dismissed, but she was found guilty of extramarital affair.

Creepy as hell.

Yeah I like the model of the full function becomes the point of reactivity. It's very different than Firestore (which is trying to sync data to the device so it can run locally). It does allow Firestore to have some better offline behavior by computing queries with cached data locally, but there are benefits (which the article points out) to remote execution too.

I wish y'all the best I do think this is a super cool product!

What does this do that the Lexical playground as-is doesn’t? On the surface, it just seems to be that demo redistributed as a library.
Its basically like Russia - rule by the law, not rule of law. Thats why the laws are so strict - they dont apply to the right people.

Every time someone in the west makes excuses for rule breaking by their government (and it. Usually seems to be the right that does so, so much for freedom), this is what they are moving towards.
Thanks to straight, setting up emacs on a new machine is as easy as git cloning my config into .emacs.d and launching emacs.
Having thousands of “workers” die in order to host a high prestige sporting event is definitely bad taste.

Of course there are cultural differences as well, but modern-day Spartas with 90% permanent underclasses are fundamentally repugnant under any culture.

I’ll also note that in many of the wealthy Gulf states, the rules are so unequally enforced that the ruling people do enjoy many of the vices they supposedly disagree with in Western culture. There are other countries where cultural differences are in good faith, Qatar isn’t one of them.
Well, if you were raised X years ago or Y years in the future, when your own culture was OK with all/some of those things (e.g. in 1830s US South), then you'd be fine with them too (at least statistically: most would be).

So, yes, in a sense it's just a matter of culture. The universe doesn't care either way.
>The Nissan Leaf is the most underrated car in the world. It's perfectly suitable for a vast majority of the trips Americans make by car and it's ridiculously economical (especially if purchased used).

>I don't think there are any rational reasons why it's not the most popular car in America.

It's still a subcompact. For the hordes and hordes of people who need a tad more utility out of a vehicle it just doesn't work without a level of compromise that is solidly into "yeah, F that" territory when you're paying new car money.

Furthermore, it's only economical to buy used because it's not super popular even on the used market. If it was they wouldn't be so cheap.

And I say this as someone who would own one yesterday if it could out "utility vehicle" a 1990s Taurus wagon. The execution is great but the concept that was executed is ill suited to what most people want in a car.

All subcompact hatches in the US market suffer from this.
I guess we just have to give up on it then...

It's not only FIFA. Formula 1 loves to drop historical circuits to go race at some intolerant and filthy rich Middle Eastern country. We've dropped Germany and soon France, and got Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain.

Saudi Arabia had a dress code guide for fans and media, for instance. Women should refrain from wearing indecent clothes, like short sleeves.

If there is only one implementation, then whichever body (private, public, for profit, not for profit, doesn't matter) controls this implementation will control the direction of the entire web. It's the definition of consolidation and monopoly control. There is no reasonable argument to make for a Chromium only web from anyone without vested interests.
They will respond to complaints.

Say you go to your Airbnb, walk the stairs with a woman that could look like a sex worker, the neighbors will consider that disrespectful to be done "in front of their kids", and they will call the police on you. However not sure if that's enough to warrant the police entering your house, so they might just talk to you and ask you to be considerate or give you a warning.

It's all arbitrary. People frown on public defecation. Why is that?
We did this on ourselves. As everyone was laughing at Internet Explorer, another behemoth was overtaking IE and nothing was in their way.

Mozilla (Firefox) was our chance for something different. They were ahead of IE once but they watched on and did nothing whilst they had their pockets lined up with Google's money and allowed them (Google) to overtake everyone and now everyone is complaining about it. It even goes back before Chrome was a thing when the Mozilla CEO declared that they could move away from depending on Google's money. [0] Now 14+ years later, they are still unable to do so.

Since then it is only Google (Chrome) and Apple (Safari) again, just like for Android and iOS. All other attempts at stopping them was a complete failure like Firefox OS was and now Mozilla and Firefox are the ones fizzling out of existence as they are unable to make money as the majority of users are running to Chrome, Brave, Edge and Vivaldi.

It is no wonder websites are beginning to not only break on Firefox, but also tell or block users from their web apps to instead use Chrome.

Wait, how do you handle rudder with only a joystick? That's my main issue with the X-Plane controls: it doesn't let me use the PS4 shoulder buttons for rudder, so I literally cannot practise turn coordination, slipping, crosswind landings, etc.

(Why would I practise crosswind landings with a PS4 controller? I don't really have room for a joystick, much less pedals. Not in my wallet and not in my apartment. I do have a PS4 around for other things, though!)

This is very, very well written. Recommend reading in its entirity.
On our blender, which has a fairly powerful motor, that’s the exact design. There’s a plastic drive coupling that does eventually wear our, but serves primarily as a one-way shear coupling if the blender gets jammed with ice or whatever mechanical stresses a blender is bound to experience.

A 5 pack of the replacement parts plus the tool to hold the shaft still while installing costs $10+tax delivered from Amazon (ASIN B07Y7S33RF).

The trick is, someone has to think to and then want to repair it. When that coupler first wore out, many would assume “oh, the mixer wore out; we have to buy a new one” rather than “a replaceable part wore out; we have to buy and install a new one”.

A few weeks ago, a friend came over with a cracked phone screen and mentioned they were going to buy a new phone the next day. “Why not replace the screen? I did mine last month.” “You can do that?!”

People are in a default buy-again mindset.

FIFA can only operate this way as long as the country organizations tolerate it, it’s interesting how something like sports that is commonly considered as representing a country is so massively corrupt and everybody is ok with it (and I’m thinking of the big sponsors, where you probably have massive background checks to get hired, but it’s alright to invest in such organizations)

I think there's an aspect of the recently-discussed right-hand pole instability: an A/B test continues just long enough to see an increase in a given metric, but basically never long enough to determine whether that increase results in a change in behaviour that results in a longer-term net-decrease in that metric.

I haven't had the same experiences as you regarding "the old way" of doing things, but I can provide my take as a content creator today.

... wow! It's simply always amazing to me that I can turn on a cheap mirrorless camera and get sharp, clean footage. That footage is fed into my PC. I feed in a "cheap" USB microphone and get crisp audio. OBS takes all of this, and every other asset I throw at it, and combines it all into a live stream of video and audio... in real-time.

And then I stream it to the rest of the planet in less than 100ms.

A friend of mine is learning Unreal Engine 5 right now. Meta Humans are just crazy good. The real-time lighting in the engine is f-ing bonkers! And the fact there are tens of thousands of high poly, free models as well as high-res scans for materials (textures) just blows my mind.

What a time to be alive.

Meta is Facebook's Google Plus without all the potential of Google Plus. Google Plus at least had the independence to potentially be something before the corporate machine reasserted itself. Meta's VR stuff is ugly. People organizing and sharing photo walks helped carry Google Plus in the down months. Who's going to go on a photo walk in Facebook's idea of virtual reality? There's nothing there except what the machine has dictated must be built. And they've bet the farm on it in the same way Google turned the entirety of the company into a funnel for +.

Instagram was still new enough to beat, and they had the seed for what a more patient company could have grown through all its early mistakes. They might very well have shown Facebook how important chat and photos were in trying to make a Facebook clone and drove them to buy WhatsApp and Instagram. Google built what Facebook had to buy, but they didn't understand what that meant and let them become just another unchanging set of things bolted on to Google.

I don't know if the failure of Google Plus and all the changes they made to the company to serve it were the cause of Google's current state, but it probably didn't help. Facebook was already in the PR pit Google is in before the Meta rebrand. Meta isn't even good VR. There's so much better.
This is not hypothetical, as we’ve lived through this before with Internet Explorer. The web didn’t get better from that. Open source is a big plus now of course, but it’s still backed by corporations that want us for our data to make money. It’s never going to be pretty.
We might have to live through another monopoly (or we could call it web-communism?) but I am 100% sure we are going to condemn Chromium some time later and work our way back to a free browser-world. It’s the circle of life.
