The real reason is that wage slavery in the North is more effective than chattel slavery in the South.

When the slaves imagine themselves free and have a slightly greater amount of agency, they are more productive than those who are motivated by the whip alone.

The continual lack of police action wasn’t super surprising, but as someone who lives in SF, it does bum me out. The supposed inability to enter based on reasonable suspicion or make arrests in certain situations also baffled me.

I definitely wouldn’t want an unnecessarily brutal police force, but I wonder if we could empower them to do just a tiny bit more and be more generally useful to those who live and work here.

I don't see how your point is in conflict with my point. You originally said that "no door will remain shut". Your response seems to be similar to my point is that this is not in fact true, ideas have to be marketed to the people who need them or "the right doors". It is not in fact "the best ideas that will float to the top" by some objective measure but the most relevant/politically applicable/subjectively best to the audience" ideas that will float to the top.

> illegal for her to enter the US on anything but a US passport

From what I recall reading on the internet (don't blame me if it's wrong), it's "illegal" but there's no actual penalty on the books. Apparently they scold you and give you a hard time, but let you pass through, since citizens are required to be allowed entry. (And I mean, consider what if you lost your passport during your trip?) I don't personally know anyone who's actually tried this so I have no idea how true it is in reality.
I didn't discuss money and profit, neither I discussed pgpro employees.

There is difference between people and organizations, though any organization is created by people.

The question I raised was about the global Postgres community and PostgresPro the company – is it ok for the community to deal with this company or not.

My answer is definitely it's not ok. At the same time, we should support try to keep with people and support them, even if they still work in PostgresPro for living.

Moreover, I think dealing the founders – Oleg, Teodor, etc – is also ok. But not with the company, brand, and its branded events like pgconf.ru.

Cybercriminals Are Selling Access to Chinese Surveillance Cameras
Near the end of last year, I had to renew my passport that had expired. I had to travel and was in a sweet spot window where I couldn't renew it and get it in time and I couldn't just go to a passport office and get one.

I ended up having to drive to El Paso, which was the only passport office that was open in the entire United States! I had to wait until a few days before my flight. There were people from all over staying in a hotel waiting for their passport. They had standby flights to leave once they got it. I met people from California, Arizona, Michigan, New York, and Florida. It was totally ridiculous.

An Infographic for Understanding Old British Money
When starting to write a conversion code for pre-decimal British pound, I felt I needed a visual guide to make composing on the computer more comfortable; something I could look at as I typed. I started sketching a diagram so I could keep the subject matter in perspective. I scoured the internet looking for a figure that would look similar and couldn't find it.

After some time working on LibreOffice Draw I had the infographic ready, which I share in this post. I thought it could be interesting and useful for Anglophiles, students, travelers, world citizens and the curious minds in general.

(*) Edited for corrections
I edited my comment above but basically...

That 1 degree isn't due to current CH4 emissions, it's due to CH4 already up there. So we will get it whether we emit more CH4 or not.

Plus there is another 1-1.5 degrees from CO2 and other sources. And that will also still be there.

So the planet WILL keep warming and that includes the amounts being listed...

It's a bit like if you stop turning the tap on a bath tub: it's still quite full AND it's still filling, it's just no longer filling FASTER than it was before (from that tap, the other tap is still being opened further...)
Given the amount of comments on here, I take it as a signal that there is some credibility to this WFH induced porn consumption increase theory.
Methane has a short half life in the atmosphere though, so this in no way reduces the need to cut CO2.
That is the ‘wait in line and you may get it eventually’ version.

The ‘I want it now’ version is priced at 2500 USD up front and 500 USD/month thereafter.

I'd say the opposite especially if you're thinking of the higher rates.

A lot of Rome's more ingenious feats of engineering were geared towards military uses or grand public works in the name of Emperors and aristocrats. There wasn't really the same infrastructure for smart engineers that dreamed they could become wealthy from researching and building a new process for making garments at a lower cost (and they were missing lots of intermediate improvements the British had). Ancient Rome had more freedom of thought than, say, modern China, but a lot less entrepreneurial culture.

That's interesting, the OP was I guess not quite right on this.

Not having to mail in your current passport is huge though. I hate being without a passport for the 2-3 months it currently takes, even if I have no travel planned (and what if I did?).
That sounds like a terrible experience to be honest. Two weeks for the expedited procedure ? The normal procedure here (Netherlands) takes 5 working days. If you pay for the expedited procedure and you order one before 14:00 you can pick up your passport the next day after 10:00.
I think you completely missed the point of what I was saying and replying in the middle of the thread is not helping here. Please re-read it again, your comment does not make sense. I did not congratulate myself.
Don't care as long as I don't have to pay it. I didn't make the monetary system that requires the slow burn of everything getting more expensive as time passes, rich people did - the non-rich are always the losers no matter what. At least inflation isn't going to result in legal judgements against me for not paying. Also maybe TPTB shouldn't have created the system where $80K+ of undischargeable debt was seen as necessary by many just to have a job. That's not my fault either.
Out of curiosity, I checked wikipedia which says "In the 6600, loading the value from memory would require one instruction, and adding it would require a second one" so I'm curious what the distinction is if it's not a load instruction
From the USA it was faster (1 week), cheaper, and easier (all online, all digital, no mailing anything in) to renew my New Zealand passport, than it was to renew the US passport for the little one.

We were left with the impression that the USA just doesn’t care about improving these things. So it’s nice to see that the improvements are coming, they just took a while.
Is that false? It seems to me to be the current scientific consensus.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3737365/ - "Genetic data sets are used to see if biological races exist in humans and in our closest evolutionary relative, the chimpanzee. Using the two most commonly used biological concepts of race, chimpanzees are indeed subdivided into races but humans are not."

https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2017/science-genetics-res... - "In the biological and social sciences, the consensus is clear: race is a social construct, not a biological attribute."

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/48157/pdf - "none of the race concepts is compatible with the patterns of variation revealed by our analyses."

> it's obvious that race is a useful, if imprecise, real-world categorization. We can acknowledge this without being discriminatory.

The approach of genetic scientists seems to be to use the words "ancestry" or "population", which do not risk as much ambiguity or overlap with the meaning of "race" as applied to other species.

>This entire conversation is the equivalent of someone claiming that water was a "sociopolitical construct" before scientists knew what atoms and elements were

A more accurate comparison is that of scientists deciding that Pluto isn't actually a planet, because it no longer meets the criteria. There was a bit of a stir about this but eventually it's been accepted, and rightly so as linguistic precision is a good thing!

Salesforce dev has evolved heavily in the last 10 years. Nowadays, depending on the project, you can be working on integrations most of the time, complex automations, and/or front end development through the Lightning Web Components framework. Last project I did a fair amount of work integrating Salesforce with AWS, using Lambda to talk to other services. It was pretty fun!
Methane, molecule per molecule, has an infrared-cross section about 20 times that of carbon dioxide. However, the current ratio of methane (1.9 ppm) to CO2 (420 ppm) is only ~ 1/220, so the total methane forcing is about 10% that of CO2, very roughly. (Pre-industrial methane was only 0.6 ppm as per ice core data)

Note also Arctic permafrost is going to be a steady source of methane as it thaws, at a relatively slow rate, currently only 1% of the total atmospheric methane budget. Shallow marine sediments are another likely source, although that methane might get gobbled up by marine bacteria before it exits to the atmosphere, to some extent.

In any case the stated goal of 'a rapid reduction in methane emissions to 30% below 2020 levels' would have little noticeable effect on warming rates over the next century. Just look at the global trend rate as well, methane's at record levels and the rate is steepening, not flattening.

The point being made is that it's a relative to others metric and so you can't use it to make an absolute ranking.

There are going to be team compositions that didn't win an NBA championship that are stronger than ones that did win a team composition simply because at the time the competition was stronger and so they weren't the best. So, if you use #ofChampionships to generate a ranking of all team compositions there's going to be a lot of debate that the teams aren't actually ranked by strength since some of the teams that racked up championships did so when other teams sucked (I know less about NBA but for NHL's original 6 this becomes the case, the competition was so weak that some people didn't know they were drafted because it wasn't something you cared about).

To get back to the original point, your ELO rating is in relative to your peers. The idea is that for a given point differential you have a x% chance of beating them. So the point being made is that you can't use ELO to compare anything besides two players who can physically can play each other as taking a playing in the past with n elo and having them play a current player with n elo won't match the x% chance.

To counter some of the other points (bowling and the mile). These are precise rankings not relative. If somebody runs a 4min mile in the past you can expect them to run a 4min mile in the future. This doesn't mean that they'll win the same %of races though as they did which is what elo is more about. Same thing with bowling, if somebody constantly bowled a 280 in the past you can expect them (ignoring lane/oil changes) to bowl 280 in the future but if the competition now bowls a 290 that player is going to suck instead of being a legend. So the bowler of the past may have had a very high ELO but now when taken into the future will (after many losses) have a lower ELO despite having the same peformance.
This is partly a geographical/topological thing. The Northeast US--which is mostly what we're talking about--has a lot more fast flowing rivers and streams than England. So it was natural to site mills on those rivers and build waterworks to extract power from the water.
