The PRADO website says it is not (yet) fit for purpose and you should go to your own country's agency to verify passports. The fact of the matter is that for most EU countries, you simply cannot verify them unless you are a government agency.

My mother used to go swimming with a woman who's dad was a Nazi officer who became the police chief in Hamburg. Who do you think took all the administrative positions in Germany after the war? The biggest part of the population was in favour of the Nazis. They didn't suddenly change their minds.

Part of what the Stasi(the east German secret police) did in eastern Germany was to hunt Nazis. Now you can say how horrible the Stasi was and you might be right about it, but there is no denying that a significant part of their work was hunting Nazis and Nazi collaborators. But given the demographics of the country I'd be surprised if a big portion of the Stasi weren't Nazis at some point themselves.

The western German BND(Bundesnachrichtendienst) which is Germany's intelligence agency was founded with the help of the CIA by Reinhard Gehlen who was a general major in the Wehrmacht. The Spiegel - one of Germany's major newspapers - actually had very close ties to the BND and was instrumental to whitewashing the institutions history.

“Making a finished solution” is the really, really expensive part. How does the government allocate limited resources in your model?
I think everything is a balance.

If you as a human have been exposed to an extremely "clean" environment, your immune system will not have had the opportunity to get trained and strong. So you might get a severe infection at the first opportunity.

However, the other extreme can be very bad. I wouldn't recommend living in a lush tropical forest without any protection from novel viruses and bacteria spread from all kinds of insects and other vectors. Your body may not be able to take that kind of bio-warfare against it.

So, the million dollar question is: How much should we train our immune system by exposing ourselves to the natural environment and how much should we protect it?

Different people will put themselves on different sides of this spectrum.

The "middle" ground is of of course the best, some self-exposure to natural environment and some self-protection. But it is difficult to quantify this "middle" ground and that is why we have many of these arguments.
Taiwan doesn't own TSMC. They don't tell TSMC how to do business any more than the US government dictates to Intel. I'm sure it wields influence, of course. The US government offers incentives for companies to build foundries in the US, and there's a large pool of skilled workers in the industry in that area. Also Taiwan is a small country, so it's quite possible TSMC needs to expand internationally in order to be able to scale up it's business.
> Just decades ago people in the West had the same reaction to lobster,

Aversion to lobster was an American phenomenon, lobsters have been considered a delicacy in coastal communities around Europe since the Roman era, possibly earlier than that. In the American north-east, people were initially averse to eating lobster because they were originally from inland parts of Europe and didn't know much about seafood. But they did figure it out as they developed their own coastal palates.

We've all been living alongside bugs this whole time. If they were good to eat, they'd be popular by now.

This was written 7 years after Buckminster Fuller died, which means he could not have responded to it.

The letter is rather long and the evidence presented isn't all that strong - at least, not in my view, it's possible that Buckminster Fuller appropriated the concept pioneered by a student, it is just as likely that the student picked up the idea from their college professor.

The letter that is quoted is not presented (it would have been a strong piece of evidence) and the quotes therein are so damning that I wonder if they are the real thing.

For now, not convinced.

edit: the wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Snelson

"Snelson said his former professor Buckminster Fuller took credit for Snelson's discovery of the concept that Fuller named tensegrity. Fuller gave the idea its name, combining 'tension' and 'structural integrity.' Kārlis Johansons had exhibited tensegrity sculptures several years before Snelson was even born. "

Most studies into product resolution agree that there's zero difference (from a pass/fail perspective) between writing it yourself or trying to reuse third-party applications. Here's one from some quick ddging: https://standishgroup.com/sample_research_files/CHAOSReport2... and see the resolution of all software products surveyed (page 6).

That means that if you can, it is still cheaper to build new software and test it than to try to use Postgres and scale it, because once software is written the cost is (effectively) zero, whereas the cost to support Postgres is a body -- that I might only be able to use 1% of, and that I might need to hire two so that one can go on holiday sometime, with a real salary that we need to pay.

Now maybe you're working for a company whose software never gets finished. In that case, by all means use Postgres in your application, since you can share the churn on that part with every other person using Postgres in the world, but I'm going kayaking today.

The (bias) issues with crime statistics are well-documented and well-understood (even within actual police and secret service agencies). This is not polemic - what is polemic is how to fix that (and whether or not we should, given that the police is generally of the opinion that "it works acceptably so we should not fix it further"), which this chain doesn't really touch upon.

In principle, yes.

In practice: in order for exponential growth (or any growth) to happen, things must have been smaller in the past.

Do you want to argue that the risks were so much in the past?

Eating insects is probably about as dangerous as it was ten years ago or twenty years ago. Not all that much has changed, or has it?

If more people are eating insects than before that might increase risks. Are you suggesting that the growth in number of people who are eating insects has been or will be exponential?

Or are you suggesting that risks are growing (exponentially!) from other factors?

Is there a path to profitability near-term? That would give you some time then perhaps you could consider options like taking out a loan instead.

It wasn't my startup, but I was the third employee of a small startup which we had to shut down despite having a few hundred paying customers after failing to raise money. In our case though it was clear the business wasn't financially viable. We would have needed something closer to ten thousand customers to have broke even.

In your case 100k monthly users seems like quite a lot. You'd only need to be making a few dollars per user to have a decent amount of turnover. I'm guessing this is free service or something?

There are two main reasons why religious books of law ban certain behaviors:

- to encode social and higienic rules as understood at the time

- to signal heressy, prohibiting a common practice carried out by heretics (double points if it is a practice central to those heretical beliefs).

For religions originating in the desert where meat spoils quickly, it makes sense to ban those kinds of meat more prone to transmiting deseases if mishandled.

> To be fair, you are stigmatizing someone for offering a correct observation (that the successive COVID variants have proven less debilitating and deadly) and for asking a question that must be on many people’s minds: can monoclonal antibody administration promote resistance analogous to bacterial antibiotic resistance?

No, I am singling out another comment which spreads doubts and denial by hiding them among good faith arguments. For instance:

> (that the successive COVID variants have proven less debilitating and deadly)

Doesn't mean it's not debilitating and deadly.

> basically everyone I know has been infected now.

And I haven't and neither my best friend nor my parents did. But my brother did and another friend did. Guess which one is complaining 6 months later of symptoms that are not going away ?

I believe Covid was and is still dangerous and not to be taken lightly because "most people I know has been infected and successive strains are less deadly" (the last one being also dodgy since it might as well be less deadly for an individual but more deadly for a population if it infects much more people, anyway...). That's as worthy to discuss as the core of the submission is.

The agile manifesto is great.

So-called capital-A “Agile” - including the thing that people call Scrum, SaFE, all the other hard coded nonsense - are just turnkey processes, churned out by authors who got lucky, that tend to be implemented as silver bullets, with almost no regard for the actual principles and value of the manifesto from which they draw their name.
I have as well. Even a really long time ago, so it sounds like a long lasting habit.

It reminds me of how lawyers are happy to accept signatures by fax. You could be a rather lousy forger, yet because of the huge and extremely black pixels, still make a passable forged signature over fax. You can even tape a real signature on the page, or make numerous corrections, because the resolution simply cannot show any of those details. There is not much one would consider reliable about a faxed document.
AirPods Pro essentially function as hearing aids already, with their "transparency mode" which routes sound from the microphone to the speakers.

climbing and skiing. None of this would be possible without Guix,

efforts.

What's behind resentment of the sacrifices made by others on a journey
to modest personal success and happiness? I think that many of us are
deeply unhappy with our jobs. For moral reasons. The high salaries
aren't enough. But there isn't the courage to take a plunge into
something crazy, risky - the spiritual transformation so deeply craved
for. If you have "mouths to feed", and think that is stopping you, try
talking to your partner and dependents. You may be surprised that
they love you, want you to be happy, and support your projects.

I don't see this in the article. They explain in a paragraph that cooking and/or freezing are effective, and that simple drying was "considered promising". With a little drop of caution.

The manifesto isn't vague. It's an opionated set of criteria preferences for evaluating ways of working (on software.)

You can easily uncover in an job interview if they honor those preferences.

* How is the customer involved in shaping the software? Give specific examples.

* Who decides what will be developed? Where does my role fit in?

* Will I be able to ship production code my first week? (Why not?)

Et cetera.

Even better: come up with your own manifesto of preferences for ways of working.

And then score potential employers and your teams against them.
