> They were denied jobs and housing, the latter basically denying them a vote (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_man,_one_vote).

They were not "denied the vote". Read your own link. "However, unlike the situation in Great Britain, non-ratepayers did not have a vote in local government elections." - if you did not pay rates, you couldn't vote in local elections, but could still vote for Parliament.

Furthermore, from your link:

> the Parliament of Northern Ireland voted to update the voting rules for elections to the Northern Ireland House of Commons, which were implemented for the 1969 Northern Ireland general election, and for local government elections, which was done by the Electoral Law Act (Northern Ireland) 1969, passed on 25 November 1969.

So, the IRA campaign began after the voting situation was equalised, for rate payers and non rate payers alike, in 1969. And when the Stormont Parliament was abolished in 1972, the MPs for NI were elected using UK wide rules, which again, did not "basically deny them the vote".

Thus, the IRA campaign was not about civil rights. It was about forcibly pushing NI into the Republic of Ireland, against the wishes of the majority of the population.

This fear of the unknown is the reason many people stay at their company, even when they know they're being underpaid. It's the reason companies are so slow to increase compensation for loyal employees.

IMHO, once you're in the new role, it's not so scary. Sure it's a risk, but life is all about calculated risks. Of course you should do your homework. Talk to people from the company, check out their Glassdoor, get some references from the potential employer, etc. My experience is that you can find good jobs and be paid well. I just make my expectations about work-life balance clear in the interviews. I won't work longer than 40 hours a week. If the expectation is more, I'm not your man. My priority is my kids, not work. Sure it has lost me some potential roles, but I've also had some great roles.

Google was founded in August 1998 and they they hired their first sales guy in May 1999. AdWords launched in October 2000 but before that time they had revenue from backend search deals where they powered other sites search engines for a fee, like Netscape which launched in June 1999.

So it's not really the case that Google had no revenue for years. They were able to generate revenue very fast by selling their tech to other companies.

Well we could introduce negative leap seconds until they align. The problem (UT1 deviating from UTC by more than one second) would be the same as in this proposal.
For me personally it doesn't tract that reducing the supply chain between producer and consumer to the maximum will result in more energy expenditure:

The supplier has one trip to make to sell their current stock.

The consumer has one trip to make to buy multiple items that they're interested in (since this is a market).
Well, native vs Web, we already has this conversation about Word vs Google Docs ans now even Word is a web app built with web technologies, and can run in a browser.
I'm part of the W3C WebAudio Working group, the core team that is making the WebAudio API at the heart of web apps that can do real time audio processing. Since 2011 we saw more and more impressive applications, and with ASM.js in 2015 and its successor, WASM in 2018, people started to port VST plugins, to compile very efficient DSP code written using some DSP like FAUST to WASM, etc. A Plugin format exists since 2015 (Web Audio Modules aka WAM), and some DAW that can record real time audio, support audio effects, instruments, etc. are now available. While they are not as feature complete as native DAWS, thousands of users record multitrack songs everyday and use many built in or external plugins. AmpedStudio can even use your native VSTs. I wrote some WAM plugins (guitar amp simulators) that are usable in AmpedStudio. It is possible to create very efficient WAM plugins in a minute using the FAUST IDE + some existing FAUST code (there are hundreds of examples on the IDE + on diverse open source GitHub Repos). You will find most effects, some instruments such as MOOG recreations etc.

Of course, the Web based DAWs and plugins are young, but some big actors like Roland (see https://roland50.studio/), Ableton (see https://learningsynths.ableton.com/), Propellerheads (they ported to the Web their VST synth Europa), Antares (the real autotune VST is available in the online DAW soundtrap.com).

Real time recording is operational without any hassle on Mac OS, and with some driver configs on Windows or Linux. You need to calibrate "latency compensation", that will automatically adjust the live recording audio to existing tracks.

Yes, online DAWs are close to GarageBand for example, in terms of features. But they also have some advantages : automatic sharing of projects, some DAWS even allow synchronous collaboration à la Google Docs, sharing a project is just sharing a link, and working together on the same project becomes really easy, no hassle for storing the audio files. Publication to spotify/deezer/youtube/apple Music is a click on a button. Most DAWS can be used for free. Etc. It's just the target user profile that is different: while Pro Tools/Logic/Ableton will target studios and pro users, these online DAWS are more for less exigent, more online connected people. Most projects are electronic music, etc.

I use Logic Audio, and I also use online DAWs. I heavily used ampedstudio during the covid lock down with remote friends... Then we roughly recorded / mixed some song projects, then I polished the final version by re-importing the tracks in LOGIC, but this was really for fine tuning things... AmpedStudio and soundtrap (I did not try bandlab) are very capable online DAWS.

I've been out of school for quite a while, but AFAIK while there is plenty of porn out there, it's not in our math books.

No, it's just Florida politicos pandering to their base[0].

I'm guessing that what GP is going on about (please do correct me if I'm wrong) is probably some word problems that include references to non-heterosexual/non-binary folks, which seems to trigger the intolerant among us.

Which is a result of decades of attempts to put christian dogma and ideology back into US public schools, and failing that, destroy the public school system.

And more's the pity.

I imagine if the proponents of these systems had their way, they'd add remote attestation to websites too. Imagine your bank's website only loading on a "secure" windows environment, non-rooted android phone or an iphone.

Once these chips are in everyone's devices, it would be quite easy to add this stuff technically. And in doing so, break the web on non-approved hardware or software (like linux).

Edit: Actually on the subject of worst case scenarios: If the trusted computing attestation process was extended through the web browser, it would be possible to build a website which is impossible to scrape or interact with in any unapproved way, from any unapproved device.

100k kg is just 100t. Why not just say 100t? Maybe because 100t out of 80,000t would not seem like much.

I used to think that recycling plastic was dumb, because plastic in a landfill is carbon nicely sequestered. But apparently making new plastic burns several times that amount of carbon. So, even if the petroleum that would have been made into new plastic is instead cracked and burned for fuel, you still come out ahead by reusing it.

Did you read the article title? "A literature review"

It was not proving anything - it was listing things in the literature, of which it listed a significant amount of studies that did conclude significant adverse long term effects.

No where did it claim those studies were invalid - and it went to great lengths to list all the problems I listed above and more.

A literature review doesn't get to the end and say "Eureka! We proved it!" It gets to the end and says "we have listed current research, and we recommend further stuff for the following reasons".

It's a literature review - not a meta study, not a new study, not a critique of the previous papers - so it's not the proof you want it to be. The evidence of the paper is in the papers it cited, with key points pulled into this one.

>Read the "Discussion" and "Possible future research" sections.

Yes, it starts with the phrase "Our literature review...." As does the conclusion section, which continued "This literature review found studies that reported the components of road dust particles to be associated with multiple health effects, in particular on the respiratory and cardiovascular system."

I guess we're done at this point. The conclusion clearly states it's a review, and that road dust particles are associated with multiple health effects (which effects? The ones I quoted above, quite serious), which you claim the article does not state.

the trick to living in Europe as a software engineer is to work remotely and live in small town / village outside of big cities with overpriced properties and people of questionable morals and goals.

special achievement for tough lads / lassies is to move to dodgy eastern countries like czech republic, croatia, romania to save on tax. forget about doing the grown up stuff in english there and when your child gets sick or needs education you need to fly right back to daddy germany.

portugal and ireland also have tax incentives but I dont think the quality of life, services or health care are comparable to germany.

all in all since brexit, interesting and realistic solution seems to be switzerland, but it has its own quirks.

in my opinion you would do better to stay in Germany but move to a more sensible location than Berlin. Get a piece of land where still possible. Germany is a safe bet and will be last one to crumble of the EU states, on paper...

To be frank, I believe the reason that you don't even give a hint as to exactly what he's saying is because if you told the details, people would be disgusted.

RMS had a long history of saying annoying things about the computer industry, and that's a good thing - that's his job.

But when he started defending Jeffrey Epstein because one of the girls he trafficked was as old as 17 and had been pimped out to Marvin Minsky whom RMS admired!

A lot of people simply didn't want to be in the same room with him after that. "One of these girls was close to not being underage" is a terrible argument.

An example in my real life - a friend of mine called me up out of the blue during the pandemic and made a big play for the message, "There are too many old people on the planet, so many of them need to die."

I don't think she realized how old I was, but it makes no difference. We never really spoke again, because depraved indifference to others is horrifying.
> then the problem would be greatly lessened.

I disagree; I think it would be made worse.

UTC timekeeping in computers depends on a database of leapseconds, which has to be updated. But many systems don't get updated, resulting in drift. If leap-[seconds|minutes] only occur every 2 decades, many systems will ship with no update mechanism, on the principle "Don't worry, the system will be obsolete before twenty years is up". Hah!

Nobody sends spam from the gmail web browser client, but suppose google successfully bans (somehow?) all other email clients, the enterprising spam sending people would still easily automate the browser, esp. with things like autohotkeys (which doesn't require modifying the browser itself, nor run code in the browser).

The point is, banning a client side mod for any service is irrational if the justification is to prevent spammers.
No, the project here would still benefit from some more evenly spaced production. If they can run their plant at peak just for 4 hours a day instead of, say, 8, it will take much longer to get back the capital investment.

It's the exact reason, and a natural one. Why hurt yourself with increasing wage of existing, content employees rather than using it to expand the workforce with newer, (assuming) more powerful candidates?

This sounds industry specific, not country specific. There are plenty of tech companies in Switzerland which aren't as conservative as banks. I've no doubt that life-long employees of banks prefer to employ those who will stay in their role, even when they treat them and pay them poorly.

As for senior roles, you have your data backwards. Senior roles have higher turnover, including in Switzerland. They're paid more, but there is also much more risk associated with the roles. They're some of the first roles to go during strategic and structural shifts.

“Announcement effects appear somewhat ambiguous for the [British] stock market” [1].

For the last year, it’s largely been high P/E tech stocks that have reacted viciously to rates announcements. The rest of the market is less sensitive to small changes in rates (jargon: duration). And/or it’s better at pricing it in ex ante.

Don't feel bad, there is a lot of luck involved.

I used to be able to (late 1990s/early 2000s) make a living on a mixture of niche websites, affiliate marketing, CPC arbitrage, and similar; but it just started drying up as more people gravitated to social media platforms, and unless you can skill up on social media marketing while getting lucky with their algorithms, you probably won't get far.

I decided to just move on because I never really liked the platforms and wanted stable employment for a while, but even now that I would be willing to risk the unpredictable income, it's nigh on impossible to get anything rolling. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
