Your assumption what this behaviour is exclusive for Russians is naive at best, but your relying on the anecdote (of a person you never ever met!) is borderline stupid.

Also take a dive into Reddit most popular subreddits[0] - you will find such behaviour en masse and I will wait here for your explanation how Soviets could instill this culture into Americans.

Have people used SCM Manager [1]? I recently found it on the Mercurial self-hosting page [2], and while it seems pretty good based on using it for a few weeks (at least for a single person use-case), the fact that I never hear of it (as much as Gogs or Gitea) makes me think that it may have some non-obvious issues with it.

Thanks for that explanation, it’s hard for me to relate to the effect of this as muscular men figures in tights are unrealistic as well and also coveted by a population. Representation of non-white characters being similarly low as well (this latter point being seen as a problem)

Not aiming to dilute the point or compete on oppression.

I just can’t relate to the mental condition of feeling like I need to look like those figures, at all or to my detriment, especially to the extent that the existence of those figures are the problem and not my mental state being the problem.

Is there any more background I can read to understand this gendered peculiarity more?
Religion is far from a universal biological need. The proof of that is in the huge rise of secularity after (i) we began to rationally understand the universe, including deep questions such as how our bodies minds work, the origin the universe, etc, and (ii) religious freedom meant people could freely reject the dominant religion and not be killed for it, which is usually a pretty strong motivator to "love" the dominant religion.
"Demographic Apocalypse", Jeez.

I for one see more dystopian scenery originating in the hell-bent overpopulation we've been witnessing on the planet for the past 100 years or so. We're looking at ~1'000 places with a population of 500'000 up to 37'000'000 these days (source: https://worldpopulationreview.com/world-cities); they comment, quite correctly IMHO: There are quite a number of popular and culturally rich cities that have smaller populations, often making for higher living standards for their residents. Barcelona, Sydney, Berlin and Vancouver all have fewer than five million residents, but are very popular choices for city living. There are also some comparatively very small cities with big cultural, historical or political reputations, such as Sarajevo (314,000), Edinburgh (502,000), and Venice (631,000), demonstrating that small cities can be highly significant regardless of the size of their population.

For almost the entire history of mankind, one million people in one place was a singularly big place, and non-existent as recently as maybe 3'000 years ago (personal estimate). Mankind must learn how to live with a shrinking population. I hope figures will cap out at ~10b people as predicted by the UN; after that, I consider ~1b people as a goal, that's the figure from 1800, so 200 years ago. Even when I was born in the 1960s we had but a paltry 3 .. 4 billion people on this planet and we made it to the moon for heaven's sake. Should be good enough, right?
Yes, even in the south of the UK this is an issue. I imagine it's worse in Sweden!
Do you know if a variable speed system will let you oversize and avoid the typical problems from doing so (short cycling, failure to dehumidify, etc...)? I haven't been able to find out a definitive answer. It seems like it wouldn't take a very smart thermostat to measure humidity and cycle times and throttle cooling to ensure that both factors are accounted for.

The primary distinction between Pegasus software and other software is that in order to hack a mobile device, the hacker must have direct, physical access to the device. Pegasus software does not provide remote surveillance.
Strongly agree. I try to limit my WIP tasks to around 8, and even then it's a constant struggle to keep at least one unblocked.

The burger shop analogy seems a little nonsensical too. Most of the time it takes for a burger to be made is waiting for the meat to cook. Conveyor grills exist, it's rare for grill space to be a limiting factor. So, burgers absolutely are assembled in parallel, it's a good example of the opposite strategy to the one the author is advocating.
It actually takes quite a bit of work to operate a registrar.

No, it doesn't.

How do I know this? Because you haven't even specified where the h2 came from.

There is power generation from Ng, and there is h2 from Ng. Which do you think is most effective?

Ng -> steam generator -> power transmission -> charging loss

Or, Ng -> h2, delivery, fuel cell (fuel cells are highly efficient)

The problem is that a lot
of developers (especially junior ones) make shitty decisions and/or just work slowly without the accountability of having to say what they worked on (and having to explain why what they said they will “finish today” 4 times already isn’t yet finished for the 5th time).

They are not necessarily bad developers, just need the need the external motivator.

If you have 10+ years of experience and you repeatedly make shitty decisions or keep drastically underestimating your work instead of introducing accountability via daily standups you can simply be fired.
He already said “medium article”
I believe that those first explanations and graphics are missing an important aspect. The step in the burger-cooking process that takes the longest is the grilling step, during which the cook does nothing but wait for the burgers to finish cooking. The cook cannot speed up the process by focusing on only one burger at a time instead of both. Even without all of the math on batch processing that is presented later in the article, the idea that it would take 12 minutes to cook three burgers while it only takes 4 minutes to cook one is not plausible.
You're the one who made the claim, I'm not required to help you prove it or describe what kind of evidence might be valid. You should already be able to do that before you made the claim.
Just want to throw my hand up and say in all honesty I’d never heard of this story before hence my original comment.

It’s quite hard to find information on this one and I have to say the Wikipedia article [1] tells a much more plausible version of the story than an unsourced version written by someone who’s brother was killed by the IRA.

“the IRA called a radio station and said it had abandoned a 150-pound (68 kg) bomb in Tullyhommon, 20 miles (32 km) away, after it failed to detonate. That morning, a Remembrance Sunday parade (which included many members of the Boys' and Girls' Brigades) had unwittingly gathered near the Tullyhommon bomb. Soldiers and RUC officers had also been there, and the IRA said it attempted to trigger the bomb when soldiers were standing beside it. It was defused by security forces and was found to have a command wire leading to a firing point across the border.”

Nobody in this story was setting out to actively target civilians let alone children.

There is also this section in the article which may or may not be relevant but this particular theme came up on multiple occasions and I believe was proven to have happened at least once but I have to double check the sourcing on this.

“Under the thirty-year rule, a letter sent after the bombing was released by the Irish Government. The author was anonymous but claimed to be working for MI5, and the letter was sent to then Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Brian Lenihan. Without providing any evidence, it claimed that MI5 had advance knowledge of the Remembrance Day bombing but allowed it to go ahead, so that the public could turn against the Provisional IRA and new security measures could be justified.”

At the same time, I’d say this entire story is actually a great example of why trying to wage a Guerilla campaign amongst a civilian population is an actively terrible idea. These things are going to end up happening regardless of if you meant for it to happen or not unfortunately.

So that’s all to say, none of this is in anyway justified but again, nobody was trying to actively target a bus full of children here because again, it’s hard to think of ANYTHING that could be more counter productive to their aims as you can see from the rest of the article.

PoW makes sense from a first principles approach [1]. I don't see Handshake growing into a trillion dollar network, so the security budget won't be that big, therefore I don't think it will be very energy intensive. Furthermore, if you calculate the economic impact of DNS hacks, the net impact of a decentralised PoW DNS implementation could even be positive.

Wrt to non-PoW system, so far governance for those chains looks closer to a federation (where a few agents control the majority of the network) than to a really decentralised network. In that sense, a proof-of-stake DNS network wouldn't be that different from the current implementation. If such network ever takes off, I wouldn't be surprised if major ISPs, Cloudfare, Google, and a few other players end up owning the majority of the tokens.

The difference between the shootout microbenchmarks and the TechEmpower benchmarks is that the former test computation-intensive tasks and the latter test an end-to-end web backend example. It tests how good the compiler is, how good the DB drivers are, how good the HTTP stack is.

What's so good about MS ranking in the TechEmpower benchmarks is that it's the fastest full-featured "enterprise" framework. Frameworks like drogon or just-js are impressive feats of engineering, but the only reason they exist is so that their authors can mention that on their resume. If you run them in production, you are on your own.

There's equally fast Vert.x, which you can buy support from Red Hat for, but most Java shops use Spring Boot (vmware or Red Hat support available), which is easier, but hopelessly slow in comparison.
It is readable, simple to comprehend for engineering, product, and management; it adds no value to the game; and it positively rewards finishing what you started. It is exceedingly difficult to precisely forecast when a whole product will ship, much less when a complete feature will be released. However, if one breaks a feature down into its legible constituent components and then commits to completing just what is within that (which also necessitates any required communication in order to arrive at an understanding of the requirements), then over time one can become quite good at predicting what one will be able to get done in a sprint and better at only committing to what one believes they can actually complete.

If it's anything like the McDonald's in the United States, the card readers need to be connected through the network rather than through USB.

And being anti-science is used by the political right to allow them to make claims without evidence. Once they have reduced trust in science enough by amplifying what might be a small percentage of problems they'll be able to justify any action and if the research shows otherwise they'll just call them "elite liberal east coast ivy league etc..." to dismiss it.
Yeah I know all this, you can even use BaGet[1] symbol server to cache or manage private dependencies in an enterprise network. That is not the point... I think that the most used tool / platform should provide more flexibility for non-enterprise or less expierienced developers.

No offense, I like nuget, but I recently made a typo and checked in 0.0.23 instead of 0.0.2. Now, everytime I add a dependency that is < 0.0.23 to a project, that has not been synchronized / validated yet (the other problem I described), it automatically takes the best match, which is 0.0.23 assuming to be the newest package, even if unlisted.

I also burned a 1.0.0 because of a failing script like that... not really bad, but annoying...

This is not politics or entertainment. The only thing that matters is a company revenue as % of GDP and number of people using your products/services.

Tesla and SpaceX are like great poker bluffs. People talk about them, nobody really uses them. Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Salesforce, Facebook...are like Mohammed Ali KO punches or Michael Jordan's last jump against Utah.

There's a reason why nobody makes highlights of poker bluffs. A poker bluff can always become something real, but of course you only shake a person hand after it became real, not before.

> At what point etc.

Your second paragraph suggests that we are not at that point yet.

But to be less facetious - after the regulatory systems in the relevant country reach a state of high trustworthiness and no indications of 'capture' + a few decades' buffer for the trustworthy regulation's effect to permeate.

And this is ignoring the question of chances of damage by war and the issue of waste management, so maximum over the minimum period for each of these 3 considerations.
There are some good points you raise, and I think you're really testing the nuance of what nudging is. But nudges are perhaps more basic than you're thinking.

Nudges don't need to steer the user to a specific choice, just a behaviour change. Sticking with a conversion flow counts as a behaviour change.

Nudges don't need to be simple or understandable. They can be a set of complex changes where causation isn't clear. They just need to get results.

The only really hard requirement that would rule out a nudge is if you forced a choice or used financial incentives.

If you read the Nudge book you'll see that it's a political book, really. The authors introduce nudges as an alternative to hard regulation. Instead they propose that governments consider influencing behaviour in a softer way, but still leave the escape hatch open for people with strong preferences to choose what they want. This strikes a balance between state involvement and principles of liberty. (Or at least that's their argument.)

Because of this framing a nudge is defined mostly by what it isn't. It's not a nudge if it forces a user to a choice; a nudge is anything you do that changes what users do without forcing them.

This is what you've done with your series of changes that resulted in increased conversion. You've left all the choices open still, so users have as much freedom as before, but you've managed to predictably change user behaviour in a way that aligns with your goals. In other words, you've nudged them.
That article doesn't say anything about wifi networks, or about why you wouldn't be able to setup an isolated lab for students to try out attacking access points. And for such an isolated lab (no internet access is required), I can't imagine a university IT department having to be involved except possible to request that the lab have isolation to prevent the APs you're using from interfering with theirs.
