Odds are you're living in a bubble, or the people who talk about money tend to be the ones earning more. Average wages really are that low, median wages even more so. Most developers do not talk or negotiate.

One colleague I knew, by far one of the best in the company given his YoE, basically accepted his contract under the assumption of 'yeah I assume everyone just takes that, so I did as well'. This was a guy who was otherwise incredibly critical and vocal about anything.

In that same company, they did 'research' average salaries (they just asked some other company with data), bluntly said in a meeting with developers 'so we know your salaries are lower than market rate, but we're not going to increase them immediately'.

The only rational behavior I took from all this is the ability of established employers to just wave their hands at most of it and still be able to give everything at or above upper management fat wages / profits, given the 'peasants' will just accept things.
How many times has this trope to be repeated?

Yes, some "ritual" sites might in fact have been dumbsters.

But otherwise it feels very much like atheist mindset projection. To my knowledge all the "primitive" cultures and tribes we know of, are (or were) deeply entrenched in magical and ritualistic thinking in everyday life. The earliest written proofs are about religious topics. It therefore makes sense, to assume a religious background of sites, that look different and serve no obvious purpose.
These days, fast loaders achieve speeds up to 19.6 kb/s (Krill's Transwarp, although it does require a custom file format), or ~50 times the usual speed.
I think you meant “grovel”. Growling like a dog before them would be quite a fun experiment.
Yes, underride or "Mansfield bars" (after actress Jane Mansfield who was killed in a similar accident).

Those are only rated for impacts to 35 mph. From the position of the Tesla in the image, it may have been travelling substantially faster.

The Tesla is also a deceptively massive automobile for its size, with much of that mass being low, in particular below the position of an underride bar, which might otherwise engage with the engine of a conventional vehicle. Effectively, the Tesla has a longer lever arm to apply force to the undderride bar. Whether or not that is a factor in Tesla-trailer collisons isn't clear, but might be something that warrants investigation and testing.

May turn out that it’s not a threat in the same way you are not a threat to a homeless man. Until he takes over your job and puts a paid gate in his alley, of course. Then he’s fucked up, lost his goddamn mind and must be dealt with in the name of our freedom.
awesome. Maybe make the ranks and wtf buttons more visible.
Their statement is not “in the general case” though, it’s specifically for postgres.

Postgres uses a fixed-size null bitmap and variable-size rows, so a NULL value takes one bit in the bitmap (and additional nullable columns may require a wider bitmap), but they are skipped in the row itself.
> ask Ukrainians whether they want US bases and whether they want to be part of Nato

That doesn't make it right. Ukrainians are scared right now, that's not the right mental state to take decisions that will trap you for decades or more into a state of subjection to the US.

Also I don't care wether they want or not, the US must not expand further or we're basically asking for them to rule the world even more then they're currently doing. Plus I know by experience Ukraine will be better off without US bases.

My country has several US bases and this makes us a target for any US enemy and at the same time makes us a puppet state, lacking any sovereignty especially when it comes to foreign politics. Ask most people in my country, they'll tell you the bases can burn to hell.

Those bases are not there to defend us, their role is that of an offensive platform. We have many nuclear weapons ready to launch in case Biden decides it's time to fuck up some population.

I feel my safety and wellbeing are actively compromised by having foreign military bases on our soil.

Plus the American soldiers hosted in our country committed violence and rape several times and this is all documented and confirmed by our courts. Those yankees can definitely and quickly go home.
Looks like a coping strategy on your part, try to do some things with other people that force you not to speak e.g. play some team sports or join a knitting club.
We can definitely stop incentivize renewables when operators of fossil fuel plants pay for their externalities (including consequences of climate change).

Why? Do you think they're less reliable or science-oriented than outlets like the BBC? It's the opposite: they are more reliable and much more science based. The authors there read research papers and write articles based on what those papers actually say, not what people in power wish they said.

As a consequence you should have more faith in them, not less. Regardless, ignore the contents of the articles themselves and go direct to the sources, if you wish.

Also consider: your refusal to go outside establishment media is exactly why you aren't aware of any of the studies or meta-studies that have been done on effectiveness of counter-measures. You're literally wishing in public for information that already exists, but the only people who are willing to cover such news are those who aren't conflicted by prior pro-lockdown stances.
US centered studies like this are so myopic that they are useless taken individually. https://www.piie.com/sites/default/files/documents/wp22-4.pd...

When Europeans make these studies–especially from smaller countries–they make cross country comparisons as a rule. These comparisons makes it possible to separate national policy from other effects.

Almost everything is multicausal in social sciences, separating the possible effect of different factors makes studies worthwhile.
Hermes of ice cream got me interested in their prices, it seems they sell at 4-5 the normal cost of ice cream there.

Its ice creams, which weigh 78 grams each, are usually sold for between 15 and 20 yuan (US$2.34 to US$3.13), four to five times the price.

Funny that another brand could reposition this as a good thing, unmeltable ice cream

Instead of treating a document as one, every part of the document is a separate block. Every paragraph can be a block, every table is a block, every image can be a block. This makes referencing to specific information very easy, as every block can be referenced, displayed somewhere else, a.s.o.
No. Read more history and you'll understand how the US came to have so many foreign bases. Spoiler, they are not the world's saviors.
I don't think there is enough wood to replace coal, so we'd probably need some new gas turbines. Remember that you need to be prepared for at least a couple of days of roughly zero renewable generation every couple of years. In many locations you have significantly reduced generation every winter. So you need to have sufficient backup capability available. I don't think today's battery tech scales to that amount of storage, so you'll likely have to rely on hydrogen or methane.

Specializing earlier means the children must earlier pick their path, when they're even less grown up and sure (some are, some aren't). It could also lead to a defeatist approach when the plan fails. There's something to be said for both generalizing and specialization. Both have their pros and cons, and the latter still happens at e.g. uni (but also bachelors and such).

Sometimes I ponder what would've happened if I'd have been able to start earlier with using computers seriously instead of opposed to gaming on DOS. I end up with the conclusion it doesn't matter, and that pondering about it means I don't accept the current path I've taken.

I think that's his point. Your instincts fail you all the time when studying stuff smaller than atoms

This is very similar to existing maglev trains (such as transrapid) but has the advantage that a lot of the technology is now in the trains, not in the track. That makes construction of such tracks a lot cheaper (but separate and new tracks are needed anyway).

Also, this new system is designed for cruising speeds of up to 150 km/h (instead of 500 km/h).

But in addition to passenger transport, they seem to be able to carry freight as well. Last year there was a demo track for container transport in Hamburg's harbour [1], not sure, if it's still there.

It is very much a war of attrition, but I'm not sure it is necessarily a war that Russia is going to lose. So far Russia is slowly progressing on their primary objective. They have had significant losses but they have a huge amount of dumb rockets and artillery that they can throw at the problem. They have have failed in most blitz actions with highly mobile forces, but the slow grind seem to work for them, although obviously with high costs for both sides.

They lack manpower but, unfortunately for their victims, they seem to be managing by conscripting the occupied population.

The key will be on whether the West will lose interest in supporting Ukraine before Russia runs out of resources.
Yes it does, I use a reverse proxy with ssl and have CW on its own subdomain.

There's a plain text config file on the Kobo's memory and one of the config options is the store URL. CW generates you a new one tied to your local CW account in your instance and you replace the standard URL. You can do multi user stuff that way. You can also define a "shelf" and only books on that shelf will sync if you wish, handy if you have a large collection or a small memory Kobo.

The guide on setting up the Kobo sync feature is here: https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/wiki/Kobo-Integratio...

> Centralization is an inherently human condition

I disagree. Humans are successful because we exhibit rather few
immutable "inherent conditions", and there's volumes of literature
from the anthropologists on that flexibility.

Maybe what you mean is that systems (which complex societies and
networks are) exhibit, amongst other things, an inherent possibility
of agglomeration. Sometimes we call that a "network effect" - power to
the powerful, riches to the rich, and so on.

Yes that's true of inanimate systems, like star formation. Human
beings, and indeed other life forms, offer the precise counter to that
force in being agents that choose an optimal level of proximity and
connectivity. I like to use the analogy of matter, balanced between
strong and weak forces of repulsion and attraction. People have a
Goldilocks point for connection complexity, as seen in Robin Dunbar's
number or George Miller's magic "seven plus or minus two", and this
replicate at various levels of organisational scale as people like
Thomas Schelling and Fred Brooks have indicated.

Unfortunately the way "network effects" are talked about today in tech
creates a distortion around such dynamic equilibriums, painting them
as necessarily "winner takes all".

> Is it even possible for the IETF (or a similar standardization body)
to mitigate it?

That's a really good question. And several questions inside it to
unpack. Their remit? Their capability? Their moral role?

I think the answer is broadly "Yes" (to all), but for small values of
"it". What requires and deserves protection (morally), and can be
protected (practically via regulation), is the substrate on which
other things are built. In the IETF document, protocols like IP, TCP
and DNS are mentioned frequently, but obviously there's a much larger
suite. That, in concert with anti-trust, competition and
interoperability laws will allow choice around as much or little
centralisation as people want. The idea that new protocols should
continue to adhere to the same standards and values as the foundation
is the thrust (insofar as I read it).

IETF say there cannot be an "Internet Police" but in many ways that's
exactly what is needed, and maybe what they wish they are - in a
benevolent sense. Because ultimately the corporations are their own
worst enemy. They will destroy the foundation on which they're
built. Like a child that needs guidance, organisations like IETF act
as a parent to stop cannibalism. Or, as verbal-judo proponent George
Thompson said... "to help you make the best decisions for yourself
now, that you would make if you were thinking clearly in some future
frame of regret."
Except any country hosting US military bases basically loses their sovereignty. Once you have these bases, you can not discuss removing them. You can not debate the alliance with the US. You can not say no when they ask you to fuck up your entire economy to slightly damage Russia, even tho Russia poses no threat to you nor ever had.
Pro tip: when writing out commands for people to read it helps to use the long form arguments. In this case passing '--all' instead of '-a' to smartctl. It makes it easier to read and more clear what specific options do. Same with calling things in scripts. Short form is for quick and dirty typing things, but not great for reading or comprehension :)
Parsing PATH should not be that hard.
>Apart from that, I would be curious to hear if Germany is suffering the same cognitive dissonance in media that we get here in Switzerland

Not Germany but this is definitely happening in The Netherlands. Salaries are marginally, mostly begrudgingly, increasing. Even managed to squeeze a few words out of hiring managers looking to expand to Southern Europe specifically to capitalize on Spanish and Portuguese developers willing to work for current Dutch salaries. They would rather outsource before making the local market any better.

* Shift world politics in their favor - unseat the US-led de-facto world order and replace it with a Chinese one.

The above are perfectly described in Ray Dalio's "Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order".

He evaluates the probability of a war with China in the next 5-10 years at 35%.

Moreover, he argues the US itself is in Stage 5 of 6 of its Big Cycle, with stage 6 being insurrection/revolution.

At a time when only 4% of the population had graduate degrees, if 25% of married grad-degree-holders were married to another grad-degree-holder, that would constitute a large preference in favor of other graduates.
The "current political climate" around race and gender is so thoroughly screwed up that it's hard to think of any real research activity that might make it actually worse. And if you care about e.g. educational outcomes across races and/or genders (which plenty of people do, seeing as these are highly relevant to broader social goals!), the question you refer to is in fact relevant-- if only to conclusively rule out larger differences as a possible factor, and place the research spotlight on other things-- such as e.g. pervasive, systemic dysfunction within educational institutions themselves.
I think this is missing the desired return for the risk adjusted trees.

It's an oversimplification of course, but let's try another oversimplification just for argument's sake and to highlight the mechanism.

Let's say you are born without parents, and your parents get picked at random once you enter university (a completely fair system in that there is no bias involved).

If 4% of all "available" parents have a degree, your chance that you'll get at least one of those "assigned" to you is 7.84% (1 - ((1 - 0.04)^2)).

If 14% of all parents have one, this probability rises to 26.04% (1 - ((1 - 0.14)^2)).
