> Iraq to prevent WMDs from being used against the USA

This is something that was proven to be a lie. There were no WMDs, and Bush knew that there wasn't enough evidence that they existed.

Fish and turtles immediately come to mind. I knew of somebody who released Siberian dwarf hamsters and for a brief period they multiplied in their backyard before the local red tailed hawk caught wind
Most famously, Latin has no word for "yes". Different circumlocutions to say "yes" evolved into the words for "yes" in romance languages.

"sic" -> si/sim (italian, spanish, portuguese)

"hoc" -> oc (occitan)

"hoc ille" -> oui (french)
That sort of thing happens —- try and be really clear what you expect back if you do an assignment. Put it on an email.

Otherwise I’d write to them and tell them that you have an issue. Chase a bit, presumably you don’t know the reason for the ghosting.

Having said that they could be ghosting you because they are assholes. There are unfortunately a lot of inconsiderate assholes in tech.

Also, single goat? That's tough, I've done it by running the goat with a pack of dogs and treating it as a dog, but witha lone goat, who doesn't feel they have herd, keeping them happy is difficult.

I’ve implemented glob matchers by regex-replacing the glob pattern, turning it into a regex, and then using that regex. I wonder how that would have gone in an interview. :)
Did anyone try Renovatebot[1]? It should be OpenSource and endorsed from OpenSSF and Google. Main advantages I see is batched updates, which reduce a bit the dependency update spam.

No, but it might send a message to other digital platforms like the quote says. Google won't even notice this, everyone smaller will now worry about receiving their own $60M fine which would ruin them.
He must have lost the keys very early, when Bitcoin was just a fun experiment, and that would still be dubious: how did he imagine his creation would be so big as to prompt destroying his keys right there and then? The common human response at that idealistic stage would be greed.

And even if he had the foresight, it's probably harder to just stay silent for 15 years. I imagine one would just come out, say they've lost all their BTC, that the original project was a failure but they have an even better idea now, and starting a new cryptocurrency with his name attached.

The person's core argument was obviously that "airlines do what they can to keep people safe rather than financially benefiting from criminal activity" which distinguishes Tornado from airlines and web browser developers.

As an aside, it was less important to prevent hijacking before 2001 because the end result of most hijackings before then was that nobody got hurt if pilots complied, so there would be no reason to place a cockpit door. That strategy obviously changed after 9/11.
85% of email is spam[1], but the remaining 15% is really useful and helps run the world.

same in everything: probably 85% of songs i don't like, 10% i'll listen to, 5% is amazing.

85% of crypto is nonsense, 10% is interesting, 5% transformative.

i find it a useful mental model to not be annoyed at everything i encounter. if theres tons of people saying taylor swift is great theres probably one song im gonna like. apply it to crypto too.

That's not the point. I have literally nothing against eating rabbits - they are delicious in fact.

I do hover, object to lying. Like OP said - they(everyone in fact) have the right to make an informed choice. By omitting this information, people who are returning a rabbit aren't making an informed choice. It's a trick, a ruse, if money was involved I'd call it a fraud.

Nothing to do with squeamishness.
In fact filmmaker Manchán Magan had to borrow the English word “no” to title his documentary “No Béarla” (No English) in which he roamed Ireland attempting to speak only Irish.

This is exactly how a price shift in the supply demand curve works in basic macroeconomics.

If you price shift a good upwards and the demand remains static, yield per good increases and then supply should increase as suppliers willing to supply at the new price is greater than supplier willing to supply at the old price.
I have not driven a car in 30 years, always walk, bike or use public
transport. No longer fly. I cook and eat local food, as much
vegetarian as possible. I don't own a smart phone or use any Big Tech
services. Limit my work to what is ethical and sustainable as much as
possible. Married later and chose to have one child and a smaller
home.

For the mostpart this lifestyle makes me

1) Poorer

2) Ostracised

There is no reward structure that favours doing the right thing. For
me, these positive lifestyle choices have to be their own reward.
Unfortunately that makes me see my society, which rewards conspicuous
greed and selfishness as beneath contempt, and that's not a nice
feeling.

Could be the issue that big players do illegal things? If some organization brings this issues in front of a judge what should a judge do? He must apply the law.

One can find pictures by climate change skeptics showing old and recent photos of various piers that show no change. These are dismissed as poor evidence of the lack of change, but photos showing piers under water are elusive.

There’s also a lot of people that think the world owes them something. Why do they owe you a response? OP agreed to do an assignment did but did they get the company to agree to call them back on a set date? A good job is like a hot girl they don’t have time to text back all the rejects
I mean practically Níl on its own is no in actual spoken Irish, but that is a relatively recent usage that came about because approximately all Irish speakers learned English as a first language and want to import the usage.

But yes, officially and historically the correct response was like "Níl aon tickead agam" or "There is no ticket on me", or less directly translated/less awkwardly "I don't have a ticket"
Disabling it on a repository is one of the first things I do. I tend not to like how noisy it is on Node project. Instead, I have scheduled tasks which audit periodically.
200 lines a day is ridiculous. A good programmer isn't just someone who writes a lot of code. I'd rather hire someone who writes 3 lines a day, but fixes bugs on the way, than someone who writes 200 lines without proper testing, leaving others to fix the mess. Lines of code is a terrible metric.
Yeah, the original title "The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the globe since 1979" (https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-022-00498-3, which another commenter mentioned) makes much more sense. You could actually compare the rates at which Arctic glaciers and glaciers in other parts of the world are receding, but I doubt it's four times faster?!
Capitalism or not, you need to monetize. Supporting a platform with billions of users requires a huge amount of resources. Resources are not free in any system.
There's no reason to use fewest instead of least here (or fewer instead of less more generally)

A few people have decided to start a strange grammatical crusade on the usage of less and fewer, despite the fact that for all recorded history with the usage of these words up and including modern day, less is used for both countable and uncountable nouns. Some people have a preference for using fewer instead but that doesn't make the usage of less incorrect
Software doesn’t come to be through immaculate conception: the authors created it, knowing it could be used in this way.

If a company releases software that is used nefariously, there are very common legal actions to hold them accountable. For example, Facebook has extensive legal obligations to meet to do with behaviour on their platform.

I am not arguing that tornado cash should be illegal (or that encryption should be illegal) rather I am arguing that people are responsible for the software they have created.

If I commit a crime, my intent is absolutely a part of the equation when determining legal action. Why should it be any different with software?

If you wish to argue that the right to privacy is so great that it exceeds any risk of criminal activity, and thus the developers of tornado cash were doing something for the greater good, so be it (that’s probably the position I would take) but it doesn’t absolve them of responsibility.

Taken to the extreme, if I build a piece of software that can save the lives of murder victims by killing the murderer: I am responsible for the killing of (intended) murderers. We might decide that the activity is justified, that the software is operating for the greater good and is therefore permissible, but that doesn’t change my responsibility.
A message is circulating in russian crypto groups, that two more developers were arrested: Roman Panchenko in Seattle, and Nikita Dementyev in Tallinn.

Ice is a major buffer the keeps global mean tempreture in check.

Once gone, things get very serious.

The amount of energy that melts a tonne of ice at 0 C to a tonne of water at the same tempreture will raise that same tonne of water from 0 C to over 79 C.

ie. Energy going to melting ice isn't going toward raising sea and air tempretures .. once there is no ice to melt that same energy will direct itself toward cooking things up.

A lot.
X-ray scattering techniques seem to be a bit of a fad in recent years within many fields due in part to good availability. To a SAXS or related expert, are such experiments really necessary for a paper in this field? Was this the most efficient/straightforward to prove the crystallinity or strain? Or is it just the coolest?
You're using a very specific notion of boilerplate and complexity. I mean, I've never heard of imports being described as boilerplate...
There's a lot of nitpicking around this topic. Mainly because "a chain of blocks" only describes the Merkle Tree part of "blockchain technologies".

I'd personally argue that "blockchain" is a bad way to describe immutable, decentralized ledgers, because it inherently leaves out some of the defining aspects.

However, the term has been way too established for a long time now, so the whole discussion is moot.
There is a word that negates a sentence/clause, just not a word for no. You're correct that we repeat the verb (tá is the independent form when no particle precedes it, fuil is the dependent form, which here has an initial mutation adding bh to its beginning). "Have you got your ticket?":

- An bhfuil do thicéad agat? (LIT: is your ticket at-you?)
- (interrogative) is your ticket at-you?

- Tá mo thicéad agam.
- is my ticket at-me.

In the negative, we'd use the particle Ní and the form fhuil: Ní-fhuil (lit: Not-is) which is nowadays written and pronounced as Níl:

- Níl mo thicéad agam.
- Ní-fhuil
- not-is my ticket at-me.

Another example using a more regular verb: "do you sing?"

- An gcanann tú?
- (interrogative) sing you?

- Canann mé / Canaim
- sing I / sing-1st.pres

- Ní chanann mé / Ní chanaim
- not sing I / not sing-1st.pres

Note that there are two forms an analytic and a synthetic form that incorporates the pronoun into the verb that can be used depending on dialect and speaker. I've included both above.

EDIT: Unfortunately, code blocks are necessary for alignment, so I've added '-' to the beginning of each line to aid in legibility on mobile.

I don't get Microsoft. Come on, the game is up. Everybody knows that the bloatware is because Microsoft derives money from it. That annoying screen at installation time asking you to sign your soul and those of your loved ones? MS gets X bucks per user per year in whatever twisted revenue they can derive from your (and your loved ones) personal data. Wouldn't be best to sell a version of Windows (they offer tons of versions of Windows) for...gasp...money? I would gladly pay a hundred bucks every few years for the next iteration of Windows if it doesn't treat me like a twat.

The logic being expressed by the control structure is essential complexity though.

Far future (100's-1000's of years), optimistic. Floods, a.k.a. fat-tail disasters like civilization collapse, have happened numerous times in the past, they'll happen numerous more times going forward, we'll continue to be around. We won't go to the stone age, but we'll lose a lot of modern comforts.

Near future, pessimistic. A bad flu completely disrupted our global little village - imagine what actual unprecedented natural disasters and abrupt resource shortages will do. When hundreds of millions of people have the rug pulled out from under them with no local sustainable fallbacks, it's going to get very ugly.
> Wow, just wow. Am i alone in thinking this is not going to fly if all he did was write some software that helps with your financial anonymity? There must be more. Perhaps he also deployed it? That would be a different story.

Does that really make a difference? I’d not worry about writing anything and putting it online saying “this can be used for evil so don’t do that”. But if I was approached by a criminal who asked me to write code for their criminal activity and I did so knowingly, then I’d expect legal consequences, possibly even if my code was never deployed at all.

The difference must be in whether or not there was a conspiracy to commit crimes or if there wasn’t?

In this case I don’t know whether this was purely open and no such contact between user and developer existed. But in principle I’d expect writing (almost) anything in the open to be safe.

I think that's pretty much to be a bit more harsh on Irish people who don't speak Irish, and also to be more recognisable as a title to non-Irish speakers (who would likely at least still recognise Béarla from years of Irish lessons).

"Gan Bearla" or "Without English" would have been an equally short title without resorting to a bilingual title.

Even if you need at least some money to keep the lights on and power the servers you can make the pricing plain and simple (not "free but with ads and 3rd party data sharing").

Free service with 1GB of storage for family photos and movies and 3$/10GB yearly fee if going above that limit. Storage is very cheap if profit is not your main consideration. You don't even need software employees and just make it open source.

Helping criminals launder money is not a human right.
I understand that. I journal and do my own research and I try to write other stuff sometimes. I am looking for a piece of software to organize my findings, thoughts, and capture my writing and other things. They can all be used off of their main purpose, and I have found it helpful. I like OneNote's mixed media in notebook style, but then again, I was in love with Mathematica's notebook format (long before Jupyter and the rest) many years ago. I will have to evaluate Curio further, but at the end of the day, sometimes my pen and journal are my all time favorite for stream of consciousness with some forethought to the writing being "permanent" and not so easily 'backspaced', 'deleted', or 'spell-checked' or 'grammar checked', and best of all, no popups!
It's good only if you can end up in compiling JVM with it.
I've had this before from a big company in the Go space. They constantly still sent me job ads and requested for me to interview and repeatably ghosted me. Wasn't until I direct messaged the CTO on a public Slack community to find out that I had not passed and that was why they wouldn't consider me and why I had been repeatably ghosted. No feedback as to why I failed the test or anything
> There's no "good" social media and there never was.

As much as I hate Facebook/Meta and everything it stands for, I got a lot of value out of Facebook and Instagram during my teenage years. I lived pretty much in the middle of nowhere, not very walkable/bikeable but also without any other kids my age to hang out nearby. My school was really small (I graduated with a class of less than 30 people) and there weren't many like-minded students.

During the 2000s, Facebook was an absolute lifeline for me. It's where I lived. It's where I met new friends. It's where I shared (cringey) posts about my passions, my interests, books and TV shows and movies and games. And my friends talked about that cringey stuff with me on Facebook, over chat and in comments.

But that was a world before Facebook killed the chronological feed, before they introduced ads in the feed (remember sidebar ads? Not enough $$$ to pay tens of thousands of engineers, I suppose), before they started "recommending" content. They were still manipulative, but they provided a valuable service.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that early-stage simple social media was useful to many people, and that's likely why late-stage social media remains popular today -- people want that core functionality. I made lifelong friends on there, just like you did on blogs, forums, and IRC. At the early stage, it wasn't about influencers and ads. Just slightly-more-than-local attention seeking.

Has anyone done a study of climate denier media running headlines like this to enrage their audience?

It might just be an emergent phenomena where things that enrage everybody get most clicks, but I'd be interested to see if numbers supported that theory.

Since this is the Financial Times I'd also wonder whether you could demonstrate that their readers have lost money because the coverage of climate change is so divorced from reality, as it's not only one of the biggest catastrophes facing humankind but providing solutions to it is also one of the biggest business opportunities.

edit: I'm actually struggling to find anything troubling they've published in the last couple of years, so they may have already made the switch to accepting reality.

Similarly Sky News seems to have done a 180 degree switch in roughly the same time frame.

Finding Locations for Real Estate Investment?
Does anybody think the way real estate investors find locations to invest in is somewhat antiquated? It seems very time consuming to have to research all the specifics of an area e.g. population growth, density, school districts, crime etc. and manually compare different locations.

Has this research process ever been automated to find real estate "hidden gems" around the US?
I have a rule that I refuse to participate in hiring processes that require unequal investment (of time/money) from me and the company.

If the hiring process requires 2 minutes of the company's time for every 1 hour of yours they are pretty much guaranteed to waste your time.

I've made exceptions to this rule before for what I thought were good reasons and deeply regretted it every single time. I no longer believe there are exceptions.
You don't interview to get "programming experience". You're interviewing to get a job. Definitely not a win.

> Actually they go after the people committing the crime AND those facilitating it.

But only if it is in their interest. We don't see other services and platforms sanctioned for facilitating illegal activity. Furthermore, the Data Protection Directive does give users the (human!) right to privacy, considering that crypto isn't a currency, it's merely your private data which is also protected by GDPR.
What a bad take. Are you volunteering your time for free on Upwork so you can "get more programming experience" and avoid a bunch of toxic situations? Of course not.
