The US will complain until they buy from US companies only

Only the US is allowed to do business with Russia

> Going forward, we intend to have a much smaller operation in Russia which has been renamed Multon Partners. This will focus on the production and sale of existing local brands - Dobry, Rich and Moya Semya - and raw materials will be sourced from within the market. It will be managed and operated locally.
Even in the US, private wells and septic systems are common outside of cities and smaller towns.

My parents have their own in a village of around 3000 people, but they're on the border and people closer to the center are on a municipal system.

The levels of government, in order from largest to smallest, are roughly as follows:

Federal

State

County

Municipality (city, township, or unincorporated) (names for these vary by state).

If you live in an unincorporated area (basically, rural space between cities or suburbs) or a town, you will need your own well and septic system.
This is orthogonal to that point: if I can run code as you, I can exfiltrate your data or write an exploit anywhere writable. The only case where having Homebrew be read-only matters is on a multiuser system where you can do something as a non-admin user.
Your comment would be relevant if the guy written something to the devs. He has a sacred right to rant on his own page as he likes.
And none of them will be held responsible. Why? Just look around this thread where the (D) behind the name and the color of their skin is protection against it. There's a algorithm for assigning responsibility: start at the lowest level connected to the problem and if the people in charge are from your favored party, you climb up one level of government. Repeat this process as many times as needed until you find someone from the other party, then that's the person responsible.

Also notice how much soft bigotry this thread is seeped in, with quite a few treating the leaders of Jackson like low IQ children who can't be held responsible for their actions. Maybe the problem isn't that they're morons like so many apologists here think but maybe they're actually somewhat smart and just crooked or incompetent. Yes, even smart people can do bad things and they're also quite capable of making errors, sometimes very large errors.
They have the goal to build a moon base and establish human presence there. This could lead to better research and we could see the start of the industrialization of the moon. This looks like something governments like to do and do it in government style :)

I don't think psychedelics need to be a miracle cure-all to have value in our society. Prohibition should end immediately.
You can derive what sort of variance a person will tolerate if they have a "utility function" quantifying the marginal value of each dollar. If you are risk averse (which people usually when they have a small net worth) then your utility curve will be concave. Think like sqrt(x) function.

OTOH, insurance companies can afford to have a roughly linearly utility function (because, as pointed out, they play the game much more often than others), which is why they are in business.
Sure the US military has mass bombarded and carpet bombed cities before, but in the last few decades they’ve given that up. It’s too expensive, and it just doesn’t work. Modern smart targeted munitions enable much more precise attacks. Mistakes still get made for sure, but much less frequently. The Russians pretend to do the same, but their tech and targeting intel isn’t good enough, and they clearly just don’t care enough to really try anyway.
Just a slight correction. Abuja is the capital, not Lagos.

And I’ve been to Lagos several times, and gosh, do I hate that overcrowded state with stretched-out infrastructure.
It is similar to my native punjab, but after several years the borewells are all dried up.
I feel like ethnic cleansing of minority populations through systemic erasure of their heritage and identity is a fine pretext for war.

>share their thoughts and react to a news, pretty much exactly like you are doing.

While it's somewhat 'natural' to share a thought, I never share it because I want to share it. I'm way too conscious about my time to merely share a topic.

>1. I think diversity is a completely useless metric. 2. I am in favor legalizing discrimination. 3. I believe we should not help people who want to commit suicide.

>I don't consider any of these opinions to be controversial.

Isn't the 'hard' opinion ( Or the opinion that they generally pander to?)of the majority by definition 'controversial' ?

Side note on 1): people who insist on diversity (or play along with the diversity card), will never do well in the long run in an area where competence is important. So it's one of the traits (among many others) that I use to size people up and decide who to associate with. Often when there is one fundamental difference, there are likely to be many other fundamental differences.
Jackson is in a death spiral. It’s been shrinking for decades and the people who leave first are the people with income, money, and opportunity.

The people left are increasingly poor, on public assistance, and simply don’t pay enough in taxes to maintain their city’s infrastructure.

When this happens, cities need to restructure. Shrink the city boundaries and end service to people outside of it. Give them plenty of warning of course - years of warning - but a city that is shrinking in population and wealth also needs to physically shrink and reduce the amount of infrastructure being maintained to be solvent.
Brew moving to /opt was nice on M1 but nothing being able to compile on M1 is a bit inconvenient.

But that’s not brew’s fault.
Jackson, Mississippi is 83% black. About 90% of black voters vote Democrat. Mississippi is a Republican state.

So, not really, the people affected vote for change, and the rest of the state decides to give them the shaft.
This is a problem that developed over a very long time, not just since white people completely abandoned Jackson.
It's not random that people who have had to collaborate with union workers in their company all fall into that second bucket.
At the same time, the old saying that if you double your rate and lose half your clients, you came out ahead seems applicable here.
I think cashew nuts are the strongest proof that we must be living in a simulation.
While used pejoratively, there are a few characteristics you can glean:

- Over-representations or inappropriate representations of minorities

- Main lead is usually some minority (e.g., woman, black, trans, etc.)

- Said minority characters are usually high on the power scale and rarely encounter any challenges, often at the detriment to the story

- Said minority usually espouse some overly blunt progressive message.

It's a mix between progressive propaganda and a fan-fic.
I wouldn't say it was very difficult, but it did take quite a bit of time. Apart from some basic principles (no GC, no RAII, "everything is an expression"), I basically kept adding features whenever I hit some pain point trying to write actual programs in Alumina. If I were to do it again, I'd probably be more methodical, but anyway, here we are :)

Protocols were probably the trickiest feature of the language to figure out. As for the compiler itself, surprisingly, the biggest hurdle to get over was the name resolution. It's a tiny part of the compiler today, but everything else was much more straightforward.

I don't have formal CS background, but I have been coding for a long time. I read the Dragon Book and would recommend it to anyone writing a compiler, even though it's a bit dated.

I don't know Racket or LISP myself so I cannot comment on that part.
Your cops suck so you blame anyone but them? Should ISPs also be liable by your logic? Just like CF they can monitor and censor content. Make the Tor foundation liable as well since they run the Tor network while you are at it. Can't people criticize a company without trying to criticize everything about it? This isn't even related to the topic at hand.
How can you "accidentally shoot yourself in the foot" with a Linux package manager?

Would be curious to know what's the point as this never happened to me. In almost 25 years of Linux usage.
Honest question - why do we send so much foreign aid but don't fix our own backyard? This has been going on for decades and there must be an opportunity cost here. Sure some things cannot be solved by just throwing more money at it, but a lot of things can be.

I remember this was a popular topic in pro Ron Paul 2008 reddit discussions.

More people are eager to help Ukraine than our own states. They'd be ashamed infact.
Sure. They’re within their rights to be stupid. They’re still being stupid, and what happened to them happened because they went about it stupidly. They shouldn’t get an accommodation because of a string of stupid decisions, and they don’t deserve restitution. To the extent they do get restitution it will be because the fair and program didn’t spend enough on lawyers; now they will and the next person won’t.
One could have said the same thing about mobile phones a couple of decades ago when the first primitive PDAs came out but plenty of people are glued to theirs now, even in public.
The US has been described as 50 small countries inside a big one. There is, for lack of a better term, a lot of diversity between them.
This is not true, I used to believe that and then I met with a fee only advisor, and they did in fact want a percentage of AUM. What the fuck!

Here's what NAPFA says, https://www.napfa.org/financial-planning/what-is-fee-only-ad...:

"Fee-Only financial advisors may be paid hourly, as a retainer, as a percentage of assets (AUM), or as a flat fee, depending upon the planner you choose."

What you are describing is advice-only not fee-only. That's what I want, an advice-only advisor. Good luck finding one. I can't.

I'm probably better off just taking the Series 65 myself for now to see what parts I don't know.
No legacy systems meant they didn’t have to worry about whining when they switched since everyone was by definition using a new install.

A Brief History of Virtualisation (my first eBook, recently deleted)
I don't write much about it these days, but my blog has a number of old posts about Sinclair Spectrum and Galaksija, a Z80-based computer from the 80s that I made a replica of some 15 years ago:

How is conda different than nix in this regard?
I can't see anything entitled in the comment. What do you mean?
> How is that relevant?

The minority doesn't get a choice. There's a big difference between a choice and a vote.
Well, during victorian times people got through surgery without anesthetics. What's your point?

Not sure why you think studies aren't controlling for placebo? Although it's obviously notoriously hard with psychedelics.

Just to be clear: I agree that more studies are needed, just disagree with the rest of your statements.
I can name numerous blue cities in red states that, you know, have municipal water systems that work properly and have for decades. Stop blaming the Republican boogeyman for problems that are due to city-level incompetence and corruption. Jackson is most definitely not a well-run city that’s being held down by the white man. It has lots and lots of problems of their own design.
Seconding this, I have lots of Python virtual environments with packages that link to brew libs. It’s a bummer coming back to an env after a while and then realizing auto update has removed linked files due to a minor version bump
Does this apply to those who use Samsung devices without having made explicitly registered for an "account" with samsung.com? They must be made to reveal the extent to which keylogging and other surreptitious means of data collection are being used on their devices.
It's the state's capitol and largest city (by more than 2x the population of its second biggest city), if the state isn't willing to help in that situation, I'm not sure what the state government is there for. Small towns I can see slipping through the cracks, but not your largest/capitol city.

Now it's possible the state just doesn't have the resources to fix it, I wouldn't be surprised about that (and reading an article that appears to be the case, they're even getting $429 million from the federal government for it and they're saying it might cost billions to fix). But that's different from just deciding not to.
I feel like we are solving the wrong problem. People are being killed for living and working land that they have used for ages.
I do it standing in front of a drawer using an old mechanical keyboard from 1988 (that has Futaba MA-41 switches equipped with O-ring dampeners) and Helix editor.
I'd have hoped that those outsiders would still involve climatologists, but it appears in this case the paper you linked was written by a economist affiliated with a conservative think tank and a man who spent his entire career working for mining and fossil fuel industries. These are clear conflicts of interest, which doesn't bode well for the paper. It'll still be interesting to see how what they say compares with the reports by actual experts working at places like the National Academy of Sciences, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the National Science Foundation, and the EPA, but I'm not expecting much to be honest.
We've been here before. Not that this makes what is happening in Mississippi any easier but Flint has had it bad for years. US infrastructure is falling apart and has been for years.
I'm not a LoTR fan[1], but I would agree about the writing. Some of the dialogues are complete joke. The entire beginning with Galadriel, her brother and her bullies sounds as if it was written by a 6yo, wrt logic and poor attempts at gravitas. Also the choreography of Galadriel's fight with the troll and writing of the scenes immediately leading up to that moment don't make any sense. On top of that, the whole thing feels poorly paced and boring.

Note that in the above I haven't said anything about faithfulness to the lore, which I'm not particularly attached to. To me the show can't stand even on its own, much less as part of a larger whole.

When it comes to stylisation, with Elves, at one point I felt as if I was watching Vulcans from Star Trek rather than Elves from LoTR. They obliterated all their features except the ears, and most of them look ridiculous (what's with the haircuts?).

So: I'm not angry (since they didn't break anything I cared about). But I am completely unamused be the show. I won't continue watching it.

[1]: I didn't dislike LoTR, but neither is it something I care all that much for.
This is actually quite common in New England, where many homes have both their own spring & sewage - even when public systems are available

Far more resilient design in the event of extreme weather events, which most rural homes must endure

Centralizes has benefits, but so does decentralization!
Do I understand correctly that what you propose is making this derailed "super"power richer and more connected to the countries it's been trying to subvert for fifteen years?
Sure, there is a trade off, but they have it wrong for online fraud from stolen credit cards.

The three digit CVV code should be a one time passcode (OTP). Banks have been using these since the 1990s for online logins.

Using 90s technology, the card issuer would issue one of these OTP fobs along with the card. It has the card number printed on it, a button and a LCD screen where the OTP is displayed. The CVV is already sent through to the computer that authorises the transaction, the software that checks the CVV would need to be changed.

So we have a trade off of the user having to have a separate thicker card, to fit the battery, for online use.

I just googled, you can get batteries that are 0.4mm X 22mm x 29mm, a credit card is 0.76mm. Eink is old technology now with the right performance characteristics. I suspect in volume using this technology you could integrate the OTP device in the standard card form factor for less than a couple of dollars a card.

So with a bit of innovation the friction of payment / fraud tradeoff goes away.

This all strikes me as fairly obvious to someone designing these things, is there another tradeoff going on here?
There are issues with this, though.

One big issue is that big companies already with some regularity rip off boutique designs and then undercut them. Big data and harnessing AI will mostly make that situation worse.

Examples from Shein, a Chinese fast fashion retailer that already uses strategies like this: https://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/article/55146/1/shein-f...

Legally blind, not totally blind.

I had really bad strabismus plus vision bad enough that it wasn't possible to correct my vision before I had surgery to fix my eye muscles. Since that didn't happen until I was 4, I spent my first 4 years with vision so bad my dominant eye is classified as 'can see movement' and my non-dominant eye is 'can see light'. Then I had surgery and they could correct my vision.

I'm not sure why it wasn't done earlier.

I have some visual issues related to this early period. I'm terrible with crowding [0], have no depth perception, have trouble with facial feature recognition (I recognize my loved ones based on their auditory cues), rely more on other senses than sight, etc.

My life can basically be broken down into periods based on what medical oddity I dealt with, looking back. Yikes.

Have a look at IBM i (nee AS/400), it uses database instead of files, aptly named catalogs.
The bigotry is encoded in the weird belief that you can destroy a city water system in 10 years unless you try your hardest, like in Flint. I can't think of a Democrat I like, but wrecking and abandoning a city to its poor, then blaming the poor for its condition is an old story.
For those turning this into a race issue, the United States has a large number of black controlled cities who have no problem keeping their water systems running. This isn't about race, it's about the particular leaders in Jackson not making the water system a priority. Every other excuse made here applies to other towns who have no problems keeping their water running and clean. Maybe you should ask yourself why you're so desperate to make this about race instead about less than a dozen leaders in one particular city.
>Personally for me, signaling wealth by wasting resources is not a characteristic that is admirable for me.

Hmmm, if only we could have some laws and regulations preventing resource waste and focus on saving the environment. Like an agency focused on ... environmental protection.
I bill anywhere from 85/hr to 350/hr depending on what’s going to be done, who and what I’ll need, location/commute, etc. In the DC area.

I imagine a not quite bell curve with the center around ~150/hr for “accomplish X task and leave” contracts that I’m willing to entertain. Sometimes you bump into some juicy ones, sometimes not. That’s life.

I’ve always told clients that above all else, they’re paying for my ability to provide them certainty, quality, and a hard deadline. I charge what I charge because I’m worth it.

Depending on your reputation, if applicable, it can however be smart to work below your worth for a contract if it means a greater chance at better contracts later. You gotta build your network somehow.
Okay. Amazon still has no say in that.
Like, 50 states?
Anyone else surprised that the results just aren't very good? I followed the instructions and it works, but just seems kinda-like deep dream level results circa 2005. Lots of blurry eyes in the wrong spots, most objects seem really blurrly and cut off. Nothing like the demo examples I've seen online. Are the default options not optimal to get the best results?
Note that the change of this part of the coastline was caused by sea erosion of the cliff, not a raise of the sea level.
That sounds true, but the Mississippi state legislature is 29% black. That's not a majority, but it seems difficult to justify the view that the state government isn't helping these people because of racism in light of this fact.
To be fair, it was arguably not even the company that did. An employee talking to an acquaintance who happens to work at the FTC about it doesn't mean the company ordered (or even wanted) them to.
I'd like explanations from each and every person who downvoted this. Nobody apparently had the courage to try to refute the argument, and even a cursory examination of the facts will reveal that this commenter has the facts right.

Mississippi's Republican governor and Republican legislature have repeatedly denied proper funding to Jackson to address this issue in the past. It takes about 45 seconds to look this up.
Well, Oracle APEX applications written in PL/SQL are a way to approach this.
It is a guide, but it is also a rant. You can’t intersperse passive-aggressive, angry, and condescending comments throughout a guide and not expect people to call it a rant.
A file system is a database though. Not a relational one, granted, but it's still basically nosql before it was cool.

That's untrue. Especially when workers own part of the company as a part of their compensation.
By that argument, the State of Israel is not a state? Since those same countries (Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc) do not in fact recognize Israel’s existence.

The recognition you point to from other countries, is, at its heart, political. Those other countries are Muslim majority and vehemently anti-Israel. Ignoring that political and religious bias is intellectually dishonest.

But, if you still maintain Palestine is indeed a state, please answer the following:

- when was its independence?
- who is the leader?
- what is its currency?
- who are its main trade partners?
I think two changes would contribute a lot to fight harassment in academia:

I - Ban letters of recommendation as admission/hiring criteria;

II - If there's a strong disagreement between student/advisor, causing them part ways, by default should be assumed the student has the rights to carry the research on with another advisor.
Is there a guide like this for anaconda? I'd really prefer to have it "shoved into its own little corner " without it touching my bashrc and the like. I'm currently isntalling it with nix-env, which is great, but nix is a tad overkill, and if/when I'm done experimenting with nix, I'd like to have a way to use conda for projects that require it, but have it otherwise leave me the hell alone.
