In the Netherlands, the right to work part time (at companies >= 10 employees) is mandated by law. So every single job is this type of job.

This feels like online businesses around 2000, where people have identified the problem and know the tech they can use to solve it, but the companies trying to do it aren't the ones that can make the business side stick.
So your method to make passive income online is a slick website filled with buzzwords but ultimately says nothing but encourages people to spend $10 for something that may or may not be useful.
No not really. They don't make a difference.

What could make a difference is whether or not the old Soviet nukes have actually been maintained and actually work. Not something one wants to test but it would make for some great sci fi to imagine the missiles launch, everyone clenches their butthole, and when everything's over, Russia is a crater in the ground and the west is fine.

edit: for reference hypersonic missiles tend to refer to the shorter range stuff. All the ICBMs of old were already hypersonic.
Answer is pretty simple, its because people without strict anti-establishment sentiment do not believe that someone like Neumann is actually better than governments.
To piggyback on the OPs question, I for one think the part in parenthesis is actually most important:

>(Data cleaning and management should also be learned)

There are many students and graduates who either didn't want to do research in the first place or didn't get that research grant or position and looking to get employed in private sector with their degree. Many universities and colleges have now also retooled some of their statistics degrees as dedicated "data science" curriculum who either know basics of ML/DL or have the prerequisite background to learn quickly.

However, in my experience (I am extrapolating from my own past job search experiences) while "understanding theory behind the algorithms" counts still for something, it is much less than one would think. Familiarity with the software technologies and practical implementation is what counts much more. This includes not only "data management", a phrase which makes it sound like the data simply exists somewhere and only needs to be managed (not unlike a Kaggle competition), but also the data pipeline management from generation/collection to analysis and communication of the results, and deploying the software the implements it all, and so on. I suppose (never been on that end of the interview table) given any two candidates to interview, it is very difficult to evaluate how deeply one understands theory of some algorithm compared to other if they both demonstrate some basic understanding (and what is the practical use of possible difference in insight from such differential, anyway?). Likewise, I assume it is somewhat easier to gauge whether someone seems to able start delivering results or contributing to their on-going work quickly if they have the relevant technical skills and/or domain knowledge.
This doesn't make sense to me but probably because I've not understood trivy. Inspecting file type things (docker, file, terraform) was what trivy had been doing so far. This however is now a network inspection and doesn't feel like it fits?

I can only speak for my council, which complains it has no money but has hundreds of millions in slush fund "for a rainy day" and keeps building new council offices or rental spaces that aren't even being used or getting the rent. There's a huge one they built that needs like 30k+ a month in rent, no takers for 18+ months now (as you'd expect in such a crappy area and a certain pandemic).

They also have terrible web based services, akin to Frontpage '97 on a good day.
Anyone with two brain cells can write a stupid article on their "blog" now a days and sound like an authority. My workplace in the bay area already has return to office for a while, guess how many people are showing up week to week? Last time i was in the office a couple days ago, it felt like a ghost town. This is the "people" voting with their actions and those actions tell me that everyone (including me) favors WFH much more than slogging to the office.
Being healthy and being fit is mostly about being healthy and being fit. There are obviously countless ways to get closer to that goal, the gym and calorie counting being one way.

Saying stuff like 'we should try to focus on whole foods and not calories' is a pretty bad take if you ask me. Contrasting that immediately with 'a body builder prepping for a show' is just ridiculous. One is good advice to form part of a healthy lifestyle, the other is a way of life for a tiny group of professional athletes.

There goes more into a healthy diet than just eating lots of whole foods - although whole foods are obviously awesome and healthy. Notice that the linked article compares two groups eating processed and processed with the one eating the processed foods eating 500 more calories a day. They don't gain weight magically but because they ate the less satiating food and as a result ate more calories.

And simply saying 'Instead we should focus on daily fun movements that we like to do. So it doesn't feel like a chore and easy to maintain within your lifestyle.' is such a weird take. Have you ever considered that some people enjoy going to the gym? On the other hand I personally couldn't imagine anything more boring than body weight exercises. In the end it is up to the individual to chose the lifestyle that they enjoy, so please stop selling your personal favorite as if any other choices 'are large time investments that can be better spent elsewhere'. I very much enjoy my time spend at the gym, thank you very much.
Unfortunately, the only way to prevent hierarchy is to create a limited hierarchy (this is the purpose of constitutions) a priori; hierarchically naive organizations fail on this account. External parties will demand hierarchy simply because they want to know your organization (or nation) isn't wasting their time--no one wants to deliver a sales pitch to people who can't authorize purchases. If they're not careful, a group of people can end up in a state where the necessary-for-external-relations hierarchy becomes a total one. You see this with startup founders; the one who talks to the investors the most ends up in charge, and the ones who deal with employees or low-status counterparties lose power. This is why "flat" organizations can't really work; people who need things from the organization demand to know who to talk to in order to actually get things done, and eventually those "who to talk to" people end up with informal, then formal, power and it's very difficult to get them to give it back.

The large-scale failure of democracy that's happening all over the world is something different, though. Regulation is struggling to keep up with technology, and it doesn't help that nation-states have already been doing a piss-poor job of protecting people from their employers. If the US falls in the next 20 years, it won't be due to Covid or Trump or nation-level adversaries; it'll be due to the obscene power given to employers, who can literally ruin an employee's life--not just fire him, but anally ravage him in perpetuity with bad references--for any reason or none. Eventually, unless national governments start dropping serious lead pipe on employers' heads, people are going to tire of paying 30+ percent of their incomes to a government that lets bosses get away with this shit.

> a hash of an ip address could still be 'personal data' under the eyes of gdpr.

We did something similar for a project, which got approved by the relevant data protection officer: hash(IP + daily secret) as an identifier in the logs. This will be used to count unique visitors, the wraparound at 24:00:00 didn't matter to us. The daily secret is just a random number that our one (small setup) application server generates each day. It is never written out to disk or database, so an appserver restart also recreates that secret, it is strictly kept in RAM. That way, we could argue that, barring extreme measures like attaching a debugger to get the secret, we technically prevented deanonymisation.

But that was just a small-scale project, has never been tested in court and the usual YMMV, IANAL, ...

Edit: I think some webservers can be configured to do something similar
If you are mainly using jquery for its DOM manipulation¹ rather than for browser compatibility² or things that didn't exist consistently in older browsers³ then there are much smaller libraries that do that job which may be worth looking into. https://github.com/fabiospampinato/cash or https://github.com/franciscop/umbrella to give a couple of examples. Some explicitly support IE11 so you are not dropping as much support for legacy browsers as you might otherwise.

Though if jQuery works for you and isn't a performance issue, then by all means keep with it. It may not be ideal, but good enough and does the job. Let the naysayers spend their time debating whether you should or not, and just get on with making things!

TFL is a "Statutory Corporation" which is funded both by grants from local government and commercial income, the majority from rail+bus fares but also from activities such as advertising. There is a significant quantity of advertising placements provided by TFL, in the stations, on buses, bus stops, and as it seems on their website.

TFL was almost bankrupted by Covid, I for one will give them a pass on the ugly advertising on their site.

However, looking at [0] and [1], advertising only covers about 1% of their budget. That banner ad will be tiny fragment of that.

Not that there aren't contradictory studies, but I don't see that here - this study focuses on muscles while the weekend study focused on all-cause mortality.

I.e., just exercising on the weekends may be enough to live longer, but spreading weight training out throughout the week is more effective for muscle growth than the equivalent sum of the training on the weekend only.
I am out of the city.(close to Dutch border) O2 is best here. Even better than Telekom.

I do understand that its not universal.

"I think the easiest solution is log analytics, preferably from anonymized or pseudonymized logs that are present anyways."

Pathview iterates on the server log approach. JavaScript collects two pieces of information: the current page and the referring page. The rest of the data is acquired by parsing HTTP Messages in real-time.

> autonom fahrenden E-Testfahrzeug

This was a test car (driven by a 43yo)

> In einer Kurve kam das Auto aus bislang unklaren Gründen auf die Gegenfahrbahn und streifte dort ein entgegenkommendes Auto

For unknown reasons the test car changed lanes in a curve, driving towards (into?) an incoming car.

> Die 70 Jahre alte Fahrerin stieß in der Folge mit ihrem Wagen frontal in das Auto eines 32-Jährigen.

The aforementioned incoming car (driven y a 70yo woman) hit another car frontally (driven by a 32yo)

> Das Auto des Mannes kam von der Fahrbahn ab und fing Feuer.

That later car went offroad and burst into flames.

> Im weiteren Verlauf prallte der E-Testwagen zudem frontal in ein weiteres Auto

The test car then ran into yet another car frontally.
The only thing I can think of is because the co-founder has the same last name as what’s in the VC name.

Maybe that’s standard practice for VC to be named co-founder in this circumstance?

Exactly. I was around back then too. It is pretty hard to make a user experience seamless and there’s a lot of industries where the user experience is needlessly complex and inflexible. The fact that it hasn’t been fixed yet doesn’t really prove it’s impossible.

The rental apartment market is just obviously one of those industries.

fetch() can definitely be aborted, and what "older browsers" don't support fetch? You must be talking maybe about Internet Explorer 11, the only older browser that is still somewhat used (in Japan and public/old infra) that doesn't support it?

>"And for food we should try to focus on whole foods and not calories"

People get obese on "whole foods" just fine if they do not count calories. For some it is not needed since they live physically active life and naturally do not eat all that much. Yet others can barely fit in their cars on the same food.

From time to time you see the entire executive body of a large firm, or sometimes even _all_ executive bodies from all firms in a certain market segment, do something that makes you go: Hmm. Odd. Sure seems like they are oblivious morons from where I'm standing and I don't think I'm judging based on hindsight either.

I usually assume that I must be missing something. But AH is making it real, real hard to figure this one out. What in the fuck has crept into your brain if you think this is a good idea?

SV VCs love saying that it is about the person/team and their experience more than the idea. Okay. It's Adam Neumann, so, swing a dead cat anywhere on the planet and you'll hit someone more capable than that clown.

The idea is also rather basic. So, what happened here? How's this good for AH? Some sort of harebrained scheme where by _them_ giving Adam Neumann money, it means AN can plausibly be called 'a successful businessperson', and thus it makes AH not look like a bunch of fucking idiots who got conned?

Talk about throwing good money after bad.

> VC won't touch anything with an export ban (the potential market size has just been reduced from 8 billion people down to 300 million)

Is there any indication this technology would be made entirely unavailable outside the US?

> Companies already in the field have to fire all their remote non-US workers and non-US customers. And that usually, together with the lack of new VC funding, kills the company.

This is not the case, multinational companies operate under export control regulations as a matter of course. It sometimes requires compartmentalization and not everybody can work on everything, naturally.

> The only exception is if the US military pays for R&D instead, but in that case typically everything is kept secret and nobody gets to use it except some missiles.

Is that really typical? The US military has paid for a lot of R&D for things we use every day, jet engines, civilian rocket and satellite technology and many other aerospace technoloies, GPS, the internet, EUV lithography, off the top of my head.

Not sure if you're saying that GDPR only applies if a person from EU files an information request or not. Anyway, here's the relevant article that states that GDPR applies if the Data Processor/Controller is based in the EU:

> And for food we should try to focus on whole foods and not calories …

This is just plain false. You can “focus” on eating whole foods and if you consume more calories than you burn you will gain weight. If you consume less calories than you burn you will lose weight. The science has not changed on this point. No one giving honest diet advice should tell people not to worry about the calories they consume if the individual has the goal to increase, lower or maintain their weight.

The point of the article on which we are commenting is that training each day is more beneficial than once a week.
It's a huge time investment to go to the gym each day. But you could do some pushups or squats right now, and the great thing is. The time investment is small, and short term and long term is great investment. you'll immediately get a small dopamine boost and in the long run your health and appearance will improve.
And according to the article it's better than once heroic day in the gym, that will leave you feeling sluggish.

But everyone can benefit from even simple body exercises, and maybe buy some dumbbells and lift them up each day for 5 minutes, if they become light, increase the weight or reps. Its that simple.

The point I'm trying to make is that exercise doesn't have to take place in a gym, it could. The bioneer link above can expain it much better then me.
