The bad of caste appearing is a symptom of technology strangulation & stagnation. Meaning: new technology empowers the new comer, allowing them to excell in moments of meritocracy - if the economic circumstances give them the chance. But they do no longer, creating the families of old, who own all the things and prevent a change of all the things.

The ugly truth is, the more oligarch a country is, the more the number of disruptions reduces. All that remains is "allowed" disruption, which are basically take over of internal guilds by the oligarchs consolidating power. Think of Rockefeller taking over the stage coach guild with ueber.

The good thing is though, this consensus of oligarchs is not global. In chaotic countries, were the hold of the oligarchs is not total, the new might still bloom and overthrow them. There lies hope, supressed by the tendrils of the oligarchs to the extern in a empire that sanctions experiments.
Especially in regards to Germany we would not have the current problem if we had decided or acted differently. Maybe pro-nuclear, maybe more building alternatives.
For now you are right, we won't be able to activate anything nuclear till the winter.

The funny thing is, the same people arguing against nuclear power (with mostly ridiculously unscientific arguments against all statistics) will be the ones complaining about the situation and that politics should save us all.

I am very interested in the pro/contra nuclear discussion and the more i know about it, the more our current situation saddens me.
This could also be the straw that breaks the fossil fuel camel's back, and gets more european countries to move to clean energy, leaving their fossil fuels for the industrial processes that cannot do without them.
Independently from each other, two exile Chinese told me that China will go for Taiwan if they face severe economic problems at home.

With that in mind it might be a good idea to stack up some chip supplies.

Let's not hype too much. This is normal Microsoft behaviour. Release an update and let the user test it. That's why Win 95 had OSR2, Win 98 had SE, Win Nt 4 had SP6, Win 2k had SP4, XP had SP2 etc.
Full text search sounds great. I'm just wondering what kind of overhead it will add to a big library? I think I have about 3000+ books in mine.

Calibre is one of those excellent pieces of software that shows free and open source can sometimes be better than commercial software. My only gripe with it is that it is updated so often [sometimes it seems almost weekly] and every update involves visiting the site and downloading the whole app again. In-place auto-updates would be nice.

I use Calibre along with Calibre-Web [0] to make my library available online, so I can always grab one of my books to read on my phone, whenever I'm stuck somewhere, thumb-twiddling. I have an rsync... command aliased in my terminal. So every time I add new books to Calibre on desktop, I just type that in a terminal and it's immediately synced to my online library.

PS: Top marks also to Calibre Dev for actually spelling the name of the app properly. It gladdens my heart no end to see the occasional piece of proper English flotsam still afloat on the massive tide of online Americanisms.

UPDATE: Dammit! --just downloaded and Calibre 6 is OSX 10,15+ only. Another piece of software leaves me languishing, as I stick with Mojave. On the plus side, I'll no longer have to worry about the huge updates I was complaining about above!

> The sad thing is that none of this was inevitable.

I'd like to push back on your framing of this.

Whether you think everything was "hysteria" or not, whether you think the measures taken in the wake of Covid were net-good or not...

Either way you look at it, the ground truth is that there was a pandemic, which would inflict some amount of damage no matter what. You might think that a less "hysterical" approach would've caused less overall damage, but damage would've been done either way.

When a tornado strikes a city (for example), the government response can be better or worse, but at its base, it's an act of nature that causes some amount of damage no matter what.
Maybe I'm a horrible person for wanting this, but how hard would it be to repurpose this as a device-local translation extension for Chrome/Chromium/Brave?
A treat to what world? A treat to the western dominated world, with rules that only favour them.

Not abiding to whose law?
Those international laws that even the US and its allies would not respect when it's not convinient to their agenda and narrative.

This has led to the destruction of Irak, Libya, the killing of Lumumba, and scores of other exemples across all continents.

The western world has been responsible for destructions and destabilisations all in the name of ensuring the economical and political future of their countries.

The West would happily support and never critise authoritarian regimes such as Rwanda just because it's convinient to them, and in the same sentence accuse China and Russia. I've never seen calls for democracy in place of the Kagame's regime for example.

You are failing to see the forrest for the trees, and at the same time overlooking so many details just to prove a point.
I've been using KyBook 3 http://kybook-reader.com

According to a document drop publicly released on Retraction Watch, Senechal wrote to Hill and Tabachnikov, concerned about the “very real possibility that the right-wing media may pick [the article] up and hype it internationally.” She proposed a round-table discussion be held in lieu of publishing the paper, one that never occurred.

I don't understand why the people involved would care if some political group picked up the paper. The best political move for the profs in this case is to state their criticisms of the paper and move on. Stamping down on it just makes it louder. Ignoring the valid academic criticisms of the piece makes it look deliberately pushed out to the world. Just comment and move on.

This feels like another academic advertisement for internet politics. The 'sexism makes politics' angle is so worn out lately.
What does the entrance process for Tsinghua, IIT, and C9 look like? I'm just wondering how they are more meritocratic, do they just have less side-door admissions?
We need to be taking this as an object lesson in the destructiveness of propaganda. So many Russian people have been so brainwashed by state propaganda over the last two-some decades that they cannot even comprehend that there's a different way.
The technology is only just getting to the point a solar/wind grid is remotely feasible. Relying on it 40 years ago would have been laughable.

Nuclear and hydropower are the only reliable options to be the backbone of the grid.
I don't think this would be effective honestly. The theory behind ransomware is that it attacks data of value to you, which you are typically reading and writing. It's uncommon that data is written once then never modified. Restricting sudo won't stop local privilege escalation exploits and those are all too common under Linux. Mounting /usr ro as a separate filesystem is likely much easier than some of the steps described. But again, who cares if the OS is trashed? You just reinstall from media. It's the data you care about. A layered approach is warranted and there isn't a simple list of tips to accomplish what OP wants.

> Do these sorts of folks have to be verified in some fashion?

As far as I understand, yes. In Chess.com at least (not sure about Lichess), there will be some kind of human verification for very high-level players, asking to prove that they are IMs or GMs. They can stay anonymous, but they will have the rank appear IIRC. I'm not sure on all the details, I'm very (very very) far from that level :)
My experience is the big ticket items are all fine products at normal prices, but there's no reason to pick Costco for them. I suspect it's where they make a lot of their profit, considering their groceries are famously low margin. I buy groceries and gas exclusively there.

Do you want to sync the whole library with the iphone or just search and download from the iphone? Calibre can be used to just transfer a few books by installing the calibre app on the phone and select books on the computer to transfer. There are also solutions for searching and downloading books from the phone but I haven't tried them much, found it much easier to use the computer to do that.

I can't fit my library on the phone so haven't even thought of syncing the whole thing.
> Telstar 1, first TV satellite, launched 60 years ago today

Is this correct english ? I though that instead of "today" should have been "on this day".
I use dropbox for syncing. I point my calibre library to the dropbox folder, and in my ipad I open the dropbox app and "share" the book I want to read to the Books app.

Moderately tangential, but I just had my Uber account hacked today. I also used a strong, unique password managed by a password manager. As far as I can tell, my email wasn’t hacked (Google Workspace account backed by a physical security key). My best guess is they scammed support, but I am just taking a stab in the dark.

The worst part is, you can’t even talk to Uber support chat unless you put in the account’s current email, phone number, and last 6 digits of the credit card on the account. I have the attacker’s email address, but not the phone number, so I couldn’t even chat with support. They have an “email support” form, but it asks for the same info. I put in what I knew, but I haven’t heard back from support since the attacker took my account this afternoon, and I fear I’m not going to get it back.
New Zealand is getting our first store in a couple of months and people are obsessed with it. Stories in the media nearly every week. Long queues for membership.

A lot of this is because the local Supermarket Duopoly avoids competing on price and makes great profits. People are looking forward to cutting their costs and also a flow-on as the supermarkets cut their prices a little to compete.

Similar to IKEA which is a year or so away. Easy to take for granted when you have it but the alternative is paying a lot more for similar to worse quality.
The cell membrane potential and voltage gated ion channels sound exactly like semiconductor to me…
AFAIK, the Union/FDP government reversed that decision, made new contract with the plants, changed their opinion again after Fukushima and we now have to pay breach-of-contract fines to the nuclear power plants.
> Now there is a sudden sympathy for refugees - and we ALL know the true reason for it: They are white Christians.

That explanation does not make sense. We are talking about Europe, after all, where xenophobia routinely targets white European Christians, because their language / culture / nationality / brand of Christianity is different.

Ukrainian refugees receive different treatment, because they are fleeing a mutual enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, or something like that. It's not a matter of right and wrong or some abstract principles but that of self-interest. People in East Europe generally consider the current Russian regime a threat, and they are willing to help those facing the threat.
I've been happy with my Samsung range, fridge, dishwasher and TV

HK was returned, freed from colonial rule, not invaded.
I would prefer to split Russia between China and Europe, and split their gas resources while we’re at it. Their military is trash anyway and everyone hates Putin. I’m sure the Russians won’t mind being part of Europe and being ruled by normal people instead of thugs.
Your first point seems paradoxical but I might be misunderstanding. When you said 'dons were jealously guarding their right to decide, on their own, who would get in', are you inferring that although the right to decide is owned by the dons, they are 'ordinary' so there is less selection pressure for people from powerful backgrounds?
> Europe is going to be ruined by this conflict

If so, then the trans-Atlantic unity will come under serious strain as well. This is happening just as Europe began to climb into a bigger suit, that of an independent economic and military bloc to be reckoned with (not that it was at any moment a realistic ambition). Instead Europe will be forced to take a back seat again, have thousands of US troops on the ground for protection, while the US escapes unscathed if not considerably strengthened.

It's going to be a bitter pill to swallow.
Funny. I think it is a really good movie. I like watching it again sometimes. But tastes are different I guess.

The point is that if anything degrees now provide less generational predictability than they used to 50 years ago.

The article is trying to argue the exact opposite.
Ethereum and DOGE unlike Bitcoin have no fixed supply cap. Many other cryptocurrencies like Cosmos and Tezos are inflationary and have adaptive inflation rates built into the protocol.

> It means that if I get as much as a single coin now, it will be many magnitudes more valuable than fractions of a fraction of a coin available to anyone born 50 years from now.

This is an investment thesis that may not prove to be true. If it was a factual statement that was certain, everybody would just move all their funds to Bitcoin.
A raid was performed so they could try to get in before Uber destroyed all the evidence, which was proven when they did just that
This is especially true of PhD/DPhil programmes at places like Oxford: their intake is massively international, unlike their undergraduate provision which hews to (a small slice of) England.
Both Log4j2 and Logback support automatic reloading of the configuration file at a regular interval - just update the file and the log library picks it up after X seconds.

I think that if you have few enough reviews for a 1-star to matter then people are likely to read the review and be able to decide how much credence to give it.
I believe this is the same director (Chris Cunningham) as the infamous Aphex Twin music video Windowlicker.
How? Surely it will place the problem of energy acquisition as a priority - but also with the need of assessing the problem of access to /cheap/ energy, also to compensate for the past luxury that now appears compromised. The matter of "clean energy" will have to compete with other pressing parameters.
Corsica has partly violent fights for independence. I think if you are not up to a 100% touristy program and speak the language of the "occupying force" you can feel the tensions. Not an ideal holiday destination, unfortunately.

> It is possible to keep database functions in git. It requires some discipline but it's not hard.

My experience differs. How do you check that the stored procedures in the DB are exactly as defined in Git?

I remember spending several hours on a bug that was caused by an altered stored procedure. One SQL function was not as it should have been. I don't know if someone had patched it live, or if there had been an unnoticed failure in a DB migration script.

With a compiled executable, consistency is guaranteed. With interpreted code (Python, PHP), consistency check is done with a command like `git status`. But there is no standard way to compare the state of store procedures in the DB with their expected code in versioned files.
According to the author and a publisher no scientific criticism has been offered.
The calibre manual warns against using dropbox on the main library folder, users have lost their complete libraray doing that. Might want to at least pause dropbox while running calibre.

In case other readers would like a quick summary of these articles:

- The ACLU faced internal divisions after defending a far-right protest that devolved into a riot of hate-speech that got someone killed.

- The ACLU also argued in court that teachers, when engaging with students in their professional capacity, should respect to gender identity of students.

It seems that a subset of the ACLU has taken the stance that defending free-speech as a cloak for hate would, on balance, reduce rather than increase the rights and liberties of the broader population.

This is the classic paradox of tolerance, it is not a new situation, nor should it be mysterious, controversial, or surprising. It is something that all of us must consider in our daily lives.

Don't forget to warn us also about every single article coming from DW.com which is German state propaganda paid by German gov or France24 which is Fench state owned company.

Some China haters must bring their hate even to simple article about chilli peppers, you will find these haters at every article published from any Chinese media.

I lived in China for years and by the end was sick of it, but I am still not that dumb to hate all aspects of China just because they have dumb politicians.
> For instance, the majority of Polish citizens have not shown a single bit of decency towards refugees from Syria and Iraq - for decades. Almost no refugee was allowed in, and other were treated like subhumans.

Also worth noting that, unlike Ukrainian refugees, the Syrian and Iraq refugees are the direct result of the war that Poland and other nations waged against Iraq, destabilizing the entire area and leaving it a war zone.
Only use creditors that don’t report to Experian? You’ll probably have to look outside of traditional creditors to do this. Maybe through a credit union?
I got such delicious catharsis from reading this! Guilt-free schadenfreude. It's like reading an article by BP and Haliburton whining about breakthrough supercapacitors, or fusion finally arrives and the coal miners are salty.

Almost all multiplayer games were like that, it only changed with the coming of MMOs.
Basically I got the impression that the Dons/profs would not like if the college master tapped them on the shoulder and said "Little Johnny's dad gave us some money, please let him into your tutorial group".

If you look at how admissions work, it seems reasonably fair: most courses have some sort of entrance test, and then a grilling by the don. There's not a lot of soft questions in those interviews: what's e, let's take the log of a negative number, what's magnetism. Not a lot of cultural fit or motivation questions.

There's also the fact that the dons seem to just have their own set of applicants to look at. My understanding of the US system is you have a whole pile of applicants from which to shape the class as a whole. At Oxford it seemed like your don has 10 applicants and chooses 2 or 3, and that's his class. The rest of the uni does the same and the incoming few thousand kids are just whatever the sum of those little decisions is.
The upside of having a developmental disability is that you have compassion for other people with developmental disabilities? Ok.
The solution is that nothing gets to production unless it gets migrated in via the CI pipeline. Admittedly it's still a problem during development.

But a tool like Flyway versions your DB. You know if you are out of date as the migration table is behind.

It's not as good as compiled code but it works when you need it.
Remember: System.out is a PrintStream which is a synchronized class. So multiple threads writing large amounts to System.out will block each other for sure
> That means that children of degree holders got 4.7 times as many degrees as children of non-degree holders.

That doesn't follow at all? You can't just divide the two percentages and get that conclusion?

In 2020 children of degree holders got twice as many degrees as children from non-degree holders; 66 vs 34. In 1970 children of degree holders got 1/4 as many degrees as children of non-degree holders; 20 vs 80.

I know a russian woman, very well off, well travelled, well educated.

She hates Putin but is 100% supporting the invasion of Ukraine.

With the invasion of Ukraine, Putin went to the core of ruscism that unfortunately is so prevalent in Russia.
