This happened in New Zealand with possums. Originally intentionally introduced to begin a fur trade industry in the 1800s [0], by the 1960s the Government was undertaking eradication efforts. One of these was a bounty, which resulted in possums being intentionally introduced into Northland so that the bounty could be collected there as well. [1] Northland is "cut off" from the rest of the non-urban area of New Zealand by Auckland, being an urban area from coast to coast. Possums had previously not spread through the city to Northland. The bounty took care of that.

Agreed - maybe use it as a signal for potential fraud if this is requested in the first order for a new account or a new payment method, but it's useful functionality that shouldn't fall victim to fraud prevention

Mhhh yeah it was. But the real collapse in quality with Wheel of Time started with Episode 4 and got worse with every single episode.

In total Wheel of Time was terrible, and didn't look good. Rings at least has some good visuals.

Lets hope Rings gets better. Sadly for now it looks like both shows will end up rated button tier.

At least House of the Dragon and The Sandman didn't disappoint.

How could you possibly trust that statement without watching the show yourself first? The subjective nature of entertainment means that one reviewer's opinions are not universal. This means you basically have to go find a reviewer who agrees with your opinions on average - effectively telling you what you want to hear.

How is that a useful system?

I don't think that there's much preventing Elasticsearch or Solr from being as fast. Vector search is expensive. Therefore combining the approach with other filtering and querying makes a lot of sense. It's just another tool for search engineers to use. Probably using vector search exclusively would go at the cost of search quality and performance.
My wife and I do check IMDB ratings before watching a show, but we apply some adjustments based on the genera. If its a super hero show you can subtract 2-3. If its scary film or indie sci-fi you can add 2-3. That kind of thing.
I found the Expanse great from the start. I don't think I'll be watching this series at all based on what I've read in the comments here. I've already read the books and I just don't think they'll be able to do it better.

I don’t know if it would materially affect the individual offender. Lot of them are actually just teenagers. And the time cost for us would not be insignificant.

That being said, if there was a way we could signal to all the would-be-offenders that we took prior cases to court, that could be quite worthwhile.
The sad part is, this phenomena with military bases and issues with drug use is not new. I remember hearing all the horror stories of meth running rampant at the 29 palms Marine base when I was deployed with a MEU from out of there. Not trying to stir any shit over branches, but here is one thing I have noticed. The Navy isn't without these issues, but it seems to be a lot less. I speculate because Navy bases tend to be in pretty good locations. I was in San Diego, had access to the beach and lots of things to do. 29 palms, like many Marine and Army bases, are often in BFE with nothing for service members to do for fun except for finding trouble. I also grew up in NC and had heard how bad drugs were around Fort Bragg and Camp Lejune, before I enlisted in the Navy.

Maybe the Navy SEAL group cited in the article thinks the Navy doesnt go far enough. Maybe that is a problem localized to the SEAL community, they appear to sometimes get away with some really bad shit because they are SEALs, so it doesn't surprise me. After we returned from my second deployment and several sailors were found out to be selling ectasty, they did two full command sweeps. Walk into work, muster up and get told, no one leaves today until everyone has pissed in a cup. All of those sailors were quickly NJP'd and kicked out with Other Than Honorable discharges.

As for above referencing the SEAL community. The Navy has "communities" and these communities sometimes are very different. To me, being regular fleet on an LHD, some of the weirdest fellow Navy guys I've ran into are Seabees that have never stepped aboard a ship. Which is a lot of them. It is almost like two different branches in some respects. The only thing we share in common, at least at that time, was rank structure and CNO. Until the recent uniform change, their working uniforms were even different from most of the fleet's, having the 'Avacados' instead of the blue digi camo.

The only reason this is appearing to get more attention now is Fentanyl. But these are problems that have lasted for awhile. My dad who was in the Army in the late 90s to early 2000s could tell you how much of an issue drug use was in the Army then.
Turns out people don't like it when you take something not about being woke, and make it about being woke. Amazon should hurry up and learn their lesson. If they want a show about being gay they should just make one, don't rewrite an existing story to shoehorn it, and if you want black and brown fantasy characters, don't appropriate something cobbled out of anglo-saxon mythology to do it.
I guess I understand that if one is a big Tolkien fan and takes the source material very seriously. But it sounds like a viewpoint that is almost certainly of little importance to the showrunners and the vast majority of potential viewers.

Personally I couldn’t care less about Tolkien’s legacy or anything like that, and it seems like a cool show with lots of very expensive spectacle on screen and I think that should be enough. I guess I’m just not big into the whole proprietorial fandom thing.
> Because they linger near the entrances of buildings, or are otherwise in a place I would like to be.

If the smoke doesn't alter your desire to be there, then it is still your choice to be there.

> If someone walks around swinging a chain, so that everyone who doesn’t want to be hit has to run away from them, would you say that’s is my fault when I get hit?

This is both the weak analogy and straw man fallacies in one.

> Talk about victim blaming.

One can believe you were offended, briefly, when they initially lit up, but once you stayed after they continued to smoke near you and completed their smoking, and then smoked a second cigarette, unless you were being restrained and prevented from leaving, then you were not being victimized. Once you chose to remain, you are stubbornly victimizing yourself. It is your choice to be offended when it is easy enough to walk away. Smoking is legal, and there are no stand your ground laws concerning it. If you were legitimately being victimized and you had the ability to move away, if you were rational, that is exactly what you would do. It would be similarly absurd for the smoker to be offended that you stayed within their secondhand smoke. You are in charge of you and not of them.

Move them where? As we've seen more recently with the OFAC list blocking... once one big player starts to block, the rest follow suit pretty quickly.

Remember also that a lot of the large staking players are staking on AWS and also have other external factors which dictate where they can host (taxes, corporations, shareholders, etc).

Many of the large players are also tied to AWS deployment APIs... moving means rewriting those. Ever worked with terraform before? It isn't just some trivial thing to point at another provider.

Must things always stay the same? Can't some popular stories grow and evolve beyond one, albeit original, author's imagination?

As stories cross generations I think it's kind of awesome when each can add some flavor to the retelling or expansion of the tale.

I have a special adoration for Star Wars yet am happy to see it getting more production, even if it must be at the hand of Disney.

Foreign keys are an implementation detail specific to the relational model. In the stereotypical example, an Order might have several Line Items, so each Line Item has a FK back to the Order, via the FK OrderID. (Ignore for a moment Assembly/Part where each Part can be in multiple Assemblies). Anyway the point is the that an Order has 1..N Line Items (we can assume an Order with 0 line items is degenerate and not allowed). What matters is that we can know the Line Items that belong-to an Order and the Order to which a Line Item belongs.

In a strict relational model implementation, the only way to reify that is by the FK of the Order in the Line Item, but in some other implementation, say a generic programming language, the Line Items might be an array or similar data structure that is part of the the Order, and the programming language implementation keeps track of the pointers or address offsets or whatever detail it cares about.

Anyway that's all beside the point.

In my experience, if the IDs are not autogenerated by the relational system, then it's relatively easy to migrate, however when data is full of IDs defined via some AUTO_INCREMENT behavior then migrations become an awful mess and any system (and this happens more frequently than you might expect) where a specific ID starts to have semantic meaning (oh, the customer's ID is 387437. whoops) then all bets are off and you might as well just give up and accept that your auto-generated IDs are now fixed for all time and can't be changed.

Oh and just to add, I have notebooks from previous employers where I have written THE Important IDs to Know, which started life as auto-generated numbers but which now are enshrined and encased in acrylic to the extent that years later they are important tribal knowledge.
It’s also possible to just make a neat show with good production values, solid acting talent, and lots of intrigue and spectacle. You can enjoy stuff so much more when you don’t convince yourself that you have some ownership of the fictional material or the material owes you something.
I’m honestly surprised by the writing in the show so far. I was afraid they would go the Game of Thrones Season 8 route and just dumb everything down to stupid quotes.

But so far, there’s a definite richness in the writing that I wasn’t expecting. Its not entirely Tolkienesque, but its richer than I expected a mainstream blockbuster show to be.

I see.
One similar food delivery business I consulted at had a healthy (for the startup) margins at 30% from each order, so I suppose it's beefy enough to absorb some fraud.

Not to derail from the discussion about Stripe, but having a local payment processor helps a lot. In countries with foreign reserve woes (Sri Lanka and Turkey for example), Central Banks impose additional restrictions when paying foreign entities with cards. This can be in stamp fees (about 2.5% of the amount) or a daily/weekly cap on the amount.

For example, hardly anyone uses their credit cards with Uber in Sri Lanka because of this, and a local startup takes many times more orders because they partner with a local payment processor and charge the card as a local entity, sometimes with lower fees too.
Or lie about your age. I know a 45 year old who puts his age at 39, his dates don’t care.
Giving up foreign key constraints because they cause errors is basically the same mistake that the monk in http://thecodelesscode.com/case/115 made.

It’s not a hypothetical actually. Many non-Semitic languages have adopted Semitic writing systems. e.g. Persian, Urdu, Yiddish.

Sometimes they always write the short vowels in, e.g. Urdu and Yiddish, but other times they don’t e.g. Persian.

So it’s at least possible to write an Indo European language without vowels. Desirable? Probably not.

The subject matter of the Simarillion is that we are all flawed and those flaws lead to suffering and ultimately the repeated triumph of evil over good. And that every once in a while flawed beings shine with such a brilliance that it redeems all the rest of it.
In addition to janitors & wait staff: you can chat with the homeless people, too. You don't have to ask them about "their situation" or offer to help them. Weather, sports, the traffic... just treat them like a person who's not invisible.

Before anyone jumps up & objects: yes, there are a lot of homeless who don't want to talk to you, or who are downright dangerous. You can avoid those.
Other than a few establishment scenes for the various characters and settings, that’s literally all that has been happening in the first two episodes.
FK’s is what makes a relational database “relational”.

If you step back and look at what you wrote, you’re saying you believe wealth disparity is awkward, and that you find it less awkward to ignore a person.

The person you choose to ignore might not agree with you on either of those points, but you don’t let yourself find that out because you won’t talk to them. It might do you good to second guess yourself now and then, in order to escape these local minima.

The comparison isn't to the people who are being harassed randomly. It's between two "mobs", the Twitter one and the KF one.

The legal concept doesn't, but the ideal (and the social norm) does.
No, they’re saying NYT links to sources and other newspapers do not.
How does it even rich 70 when it deserves a much lower rating? The scale goes from 0 to 100 not from 70 to 100.
That was certainly a theme of much of Tolkien’s writing. Many characters fell out a desire to do good, and many others were confronted with the choice to do evil in the service of good.

Nothing about what the person being interviewed said implies that the moral of the story is “you should go really really far into evil to do good.” I’d say the implication of that question is the opposite.
I'm not accusing him of cheating.

Hans' interviews have been off. This isn't speculation. The positions are right there in the interviews, analyze them and see. Hans says zig and the analysis shows zag.

That's it. That's the whole conversation. Someone said the interviews were bad, you disagreed citing Levy and King, I explained what they (and I!) liked about the interviews and pointed out that the actual chess analysis was, in fact, bad.
This type of development is unfortunately par for the course with modern Hollywood remakes of older media and probably will only get worse over time. I am not familiar at all with the LoTR stuff that's going on, but it seems somewhat similar to what they've done with Star Trek. Discovery and (especially) Picard make a mockery of Old Trek in terms of vision and values. I saw a recent parody video that described the TNG Federation as "Vegetarian Space Socialists" that everyone finds annoying but it seems like the writers of Picard have taken it literally. I won't argue that Old Trek is the epitome of subtlety, but the basic premise was that the Federation represents a utopian society that has mostly put aside material concerns in order to promote peace and prosperity in the galaxy. Star Trek was a series of stories about what would happen when you take people from this utopian society and put them in uncomfortable and challenging situations. This worked amazingly well.

Picard and Discovery throws this out the window. It seems like the rough outline of the show was to shoehorn as much heavy handed modern political controversy in between the big budget space battles. The characters seem to be raring to fight at every juncture which is pretty much the opposite of the Federation's MO.

This has also happened with Star Wars but I feel less bad. I think Star Wars was always a bit less "high brow" than some of the other media being discussed here, but Disney seems to have scoured the entire script of the original trilogy for any lines they could stretch out into scenes for a spinoff film ("Kessel Run" for Solo, "Many Bothans Died" for Rogue One). To me this stuff is straight up cringe - at the same level as bad fan fiction.

Ultimately I have started to regard most of these films as products in the same sense as breakfast cereal at the grocery store. When they put out a new neon green version of lucky charms I don't get mad - I don't pay attention at all. Luckily, it seems like there are some filmmakers who are making interesting films even post-COVID (Robert Eggers, David Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) so I have some hope for the future. But these mega-budget reboots? I do my best to ignore their existence at this point.
I'm OK with them not paying for the useless power that I dump on the grid at noon. I have 12-24 hours of battery backup, so I can get through the night on it.

Plus, they should pay more for peak usage hours (4-9pm and 6-10am) than they charge over night (the overnight power produces less than 70% as much carbon as peak power in the morning and evening), so I'd still end up selling back at a profit vs. storing electricity for my own use. Also, the cost minimizer in the battery would then charge the battery at noon, when electricity is worthless (unlike what it does now).

I want to set the battery to "minimize atmospheric CO2". The details of my power bill are rounding errors vs. the ongoing damages I am already incurring from climate change.
> I still listen to my dad's classic rock records from the 60s and enjoy the hell out of it. But they sound like shit. ;-)

You know why they sound like that? Because sound recording and copying technology was also shit. Garbage in, garbage out.

FLAC was made 50+ years after these records, and is basically indistinguishable from the real thing when made from something close to the original WAV masters, and played back on decent but affordable equipment. Until recently, this wasn't possible.

Not only that - with sufficient care, it will literally never degrade even by a single binary bit when it's being copied or stored, no matter how many times it's played or duplicated.

I have no problems listening to a FLAC now, or when I'm 90. I'm sure my descendants, if they care about my taste in music, wouldn't mind listening to the same files (possibly transcoded to another lossy format, or somehow improved by [REDACTED]) well into the 22nd century.
