This sounds like a great advice! Will pickup a domain and get started.
Would probably look around for hardware/robotics and machine learning domain specific projects to get started and learn :)
Credit may not be your thing but you’re effectively losing out on a good bit of money by not having one.

I don’t have an exact number in front of me, but I imagine that we receive at least $8k back annually in rewards from our various cards.

The only thing that doesn’t go on a card is the electric bill because they didn’t allow it until recently. But I believe they now do so my wife will change it soon.

In addition to the free money, it’s also safer. I would never use a debit card.
> As for Open Web Search, what everyone should really be asking themselves is: ok, so what's the scam that's going to be pulled here?

As I'm one of the people who is working within the Open Web Search project please allow me to feel strongly about your statement. I've been involved in campaigning for this project since around 2014. This project did not originate as a 4d-chess move of some political game. It exists because of the hard work of a group of people, some of which are researchers, some of which are working at smaller search engines and some of which are involved in civil rights organisations.
Currently still sitting in the kick-off meeting I can tell you that we are actively discussing how to get this project to produce useful results for a european open web index. Getting the EU to draft problematic legislation is neither in our power nor in our interest.
I've never watched it but have heard about it repeated throughout the years. My Granddaughter is 7 years old, would this be acceptable for her to watch?
Tekkonkinkreet is great! it's surreal and over the top but somehow still very grounded.

Some other awesome experimental animes that I think are worth watching are Redline, which has some amazing animation during car races on alien planets, and Dead Leaves, which is a classic escape from jail plot on steroids.

The good guys (defenders) have to be right 100% of the time, the bad guys (attackers) only have to be right once.

This is the crux of the entire information security industry.
> The problem is that there is a small number of people that are destroying the planet for the rest of us.

I wonder if taking part in this forum is almost a sure indication of membership in the 10%, so perhaps it's us destroying the planet for the rest of them?
Sorry but I don't want to live in a country where the government scans my face and tracks my movement every time I leave my home. Nor can I even believe I even have to say this. Cars are deadly machines and regulating deadly machines is different to regulating and tracking human beings. And just because my name won't match in a criminal database and therefore I'll remain "anonymous" doesn't change that I don't want the government putting a leash around my neck, even if they promise not to strangle me with it unless they say I did something wrong.

Just a few non-fiction books from me this time:

- Lewis Dartnell The Knowledge: This book made me realize the fragility of modern technology and how it is funded on chemical industry, shipping, oil, and the exploitation of natural resources.

- Peter P. Wakker Prospect Theory: This is not an easy reading but it contains one of the few understandable and detailed explanations of rank-dependent utility theory and why early probability-weighing approaches were incorrect; a must read for anyone interested in rational decision making.

- Vöcking, Alt, et. al Taschenbuch der Algorithmen: This marvelous Springer book unfortunately only seems to be available in German; it's not at all what the title suggests, but rather a book that brings the fun back to programming, like an 80s hobby programming book; various contributors lay out their favorite algorithms and techniques in short, easy to read chapters. It's like Christmas for programmers.

- Rosen Handbook of Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics (Indian Edition): believe it or not, this handbook has helped me a lot with my work in philosophy; it's also the almost ideal handbook style, extremely concise but also very understandable. Of course, I didn't "read" this book but using it for reference was definitely worth it.

- Scott Programming Language Pragmatics: Anybody interested in creating a programming language should read this, preferably the latest edition (I don't know if it's still updated, though); I'm convinced that even though it mostly covers "generation 4" languages and earlier, if more language designers read this book, new programming languages would be better; not that anybody needs new programming languages, Common Lisp and Ada are perfectly fine.

- Jean-Claude Ellena Atlas of Perfumed Botany: Although it sounds a bit pretentious at times like the perfume market is in general (it's 90% marketing of emotions, 10% about the scent), this is a really nice and passionate book about perfumery with beautiful illustrations, written by one of the most renowned contemporary perfumers. It's also surprisingly cheap and by MIT Press.

- Duff / Gormly First Aid and Wilderness Medicine: This is perhaps the best first aid book out there. Of course, it doesn't replace a practical course but it's a great reference and generally good reading if you're interested in the topic.

There was another book I read as a child in German, translated from English. It fascinated me and was the main reason why I got interested in AI and ultimately studied philosophy and linguistics. It was about the Schank/Riesbeck group or some similar symbolic AI research at the time (during the 70s or early 80s) and mentioned meetings where members of the group watched Mork from Ork and analyzed Mork's misunderstandings. If anybody has an idea which book that was, please let me know!
The subtitles made me roar with laughter when I first saw Jimmy Cliff's The Harder They Come. The whole movie is in Jamaican patois, so there's some logic in translating it; but most urbanites here have plenty of exposure to Jamaican patois, so it's a bit like having English subtitles on an English movie.

Once the beancounters discover that you can make money with a piece of software, the game is over.
On the last 2 companies I have been hired we have been paying for teams and still the experience is crappy. I have not seen crashes but however I have seen teams window being totally unresponsive, people complaining about having to reboot their computer because their teams window was unresponsive/laggy during videocall. I mean not just sound and video stuttering like it would with a bad internet connection but the complete window being unreactive. This on all OSes: windows, Mac and Linux. Also the struggle is real when pairing / connecting different headsets/speakers, especially bluetooth ones after the app/browser is started. The device might not appear as selectable, sometimes the sound is coming from one audio device although it is another one that is selected (same with microphone), this is a total shit show.

On a personnal note it is much better for me since I stopped using the app on Linux. I installed microsoft-edge that is now dedicated to it and other Office365 stuff. I still experienced bugs, issues with messages synchronisation between teams running on more than one device or more than one browser. And the mobile app is a complete resource and battery hog, I refuse to install it on my new smartphone.
Remarkable???

It’s against copyright laws too, unless you get the right holders’ go-ahead first.

Some regional differences, but it’s mostly not allowed with a few exceptions for some institutions.

Are you new to Linux?

As it appears to be necessary: \s, it was a lighthearted statement about how software is almost never "forget about it" and breaks on updates in unexpected ways.
Yep, exactly. Rocketry works on conditions which are either true or false thus you need to give it a time range.

Points in time do not actually make much sense in terms of scheduling as nothing can be run exactly at specified point. There should always be some buffer of tolerance. I think Cron has a tolerance of a minute or so and in Rocketry the tolerance is made obvious and completely customized.

For those interested more about those two types of time conditions. "time_of_..." are conditions that check whether the current time is in the specified range. The "secondly", "minutely", "hourly", "daily" etc. also check that current time is as specified but also that the task did not yet run on the interval. By combining the two you can create quite complex scheduling strategies easily.
> just a rebranding Lync

OCS, Lync and Skype for Business are all the same (quite shitty) product.

Like in 2014 you couldn't send a message with more than 800 chars. Now imagine troubleshooting something which requires sending logs? AND this is not confirable AND the client actively bitch at you AND you can't even the know the char limit from the client.

"The Sixth Station" always gives me instant goose bumps. Probably stating the obvious but soundtracks can make or destroy a potentially good movie.
The scary trailer recuts of Mary Poppins [1] or Diff'rent Strokes [2] come to mind for example of how influential a soundtrack can be.

I guess that's what the parent comment meant.

Google tries many new products (in-house developed or acquired). If it does not reach a user base of several 100 million users (or 10's of billions of revenue) after a few years then they will scrap it.
Who would start this global conflict?
US can annihilate Russia in a month (not counting time for deployment).
China is in enormous financial crisis and economic slowdown without proper navy to invade Taiwan, there is no way for "true" global conflict [not even close to WW1 and WW2] right now.
You can look at oil prices when the war started and see the jump. There was no such jump at any announcement of Biden. The evidence is clear and easily checked.
>But if you read the article, you'll notice that approval for this new "treatment" came from the deputy mayor for culture with no input from the medical community.

The politician approved their involvement with a six month trial run by several hospitals. The politician is involved because they are in charge of the museums offering tickets.

>Even worse, this new law trivializes the challenges of living with mental illness and undermines the work of mental health professional, who have spent decades educating the public that treating depression goes far beyond "getting yourself out there" or "taking a break."

Not really a law, and it would be your health professional that suggests the program in addition to other treatment, and then consults you about it before and after the trip.

You can be cynical about this news story, which is likely politicians saying "we're helping you see?" But the actual program seems to have more behind it than your post suggests.
Skype has always had a Linux client. It was a nice Qt app that looked like the old Windows client. Unfortunately, it was replaced with an Electron app in 2017.
In case of doubt you can always replace the OS with whatever Linux distribution you choose, which only leaves closed-source driver/fw blobs - but that problem is shared with every other general-purpose computer these days.

There are two kinds of facts: facts about the real world, and digital facts. Digital facts can be secured with fancy cryptography in various ways leading to the ability of a trustless database holding such facts - such as a (secured) git repo or the Bitcoin blockchain.

Facts about the real world are true or false about the real world, you can't cryptographically secure them. I can trustlessly store the fact "I am Donald Trump" in some DB, I can prove cryptographically that I stored that fact, but there is no way to conclude from this that I am in fact Donald Trump.

For any digital fact, the relationship between it and a physical fact can only be established by a trusted entity. A government office can digitally sign a statement that the holder of some private key is indeed Donald Trump, and you can then believe that any statement signed by that private key was signed by Donald Trump - IF you trust the government.

Similarly, whether some scientific data set is held in a Chinese RDBMS controlled by a Chinese university or whether it is stored on some public block chain, I have more or less the same amount of trust for that data set.

Yes, there are common reasons -- poor security practices resulting from a lack of empathy, a lack of a profit motive and a very low risk of any tangible consequences.

> Is it more about people behaviour or corporate decisions?

Yes. A small number of people directly decide what corporations do. A corporation's activity is usually carried out by a larger number of people, who have some, less direct, control over the corporate decision making. Orders of magnitude more people are affected by those decisions and have extremely limited and indirect means of influencing them.

The goals and motivations of capital will never be truly aligned with that of the individual/people/society.

excellent point - buying a new car is a good example, allowing someone to take out a 7 year loan to payoff a new car, allows the car companies to simply charge more for them - as a large portion of people make their decisions based on being able to afford the monthly payment, not the total price.

That everything is so empty is the aspect of the universe that I find most surprising.

This also holds for small things like atoms. They are mostly empty space, too. And for bigger things like galaxies.

Most other aspects seem to be "good" choices. Like limiting the speed of things. The way it is limited (as described by special relativity) is even really elegant. The uncertainty as described by quantum theory and how it is coupled to the observer is downright cool. I often think "Yes, if I made a universe from scratch, this seems like a nice choice to go with".

But that everything is so empty? I would not have made that choice, I think.

You are describing people mumbling through long and repetitive narratives about the history of the Jewish people without understanding or taking much in, because they believe it makes them closer to God, or simply reading the parts which feature well-known 'Bible stories' while ignoring most of the rest, thinking that they are reading 'The Bible'.

This does not invalidate what the GP said: [paraphrasing] that the Bible is difficult to understand and mostly of questionable value to a modern reader.

You absolutely can, the DRM part of Steam is optional choice by the developer. It can just be a Game Downloader.

You can even sell codes in your own store, WITHOUT STEAM GETTING MONEY. That's incredibly generous.

I don't understand why you would expect them to give away their features for free. That's like expecting a a restaurant letting you use their cutlery and tables with your own food.

Finally, you have never and will never truly own a game. No, not even when they came as CDs. It was always just a limited license.
Sometimes, but as a last resort. I'd prefer types, tests and readable code over comments, and if I feel the need to leave a comments, I usually see that as a code smell
I agree. I think most religions systems are chiefly concerned with our 'internal world', which is fundamentally subjective so doesn't fit well into a modern scientist framework. Thus objective descriptions tend to be sterile.

Yes, but IMO there's depth to it that she might be able to understand and appreciate more once she's around 10 years old. Another really good Studio Ghibli film with a lot of charm but a bit less depth is My Neighbor Totoro, which might be an even better fit for a seven-year-old.
This thread is incredibly negative, this is a suprise because our entire company relies on teams for remote working and it works pretty damned well.

Interestingly teams usage seems to be still rising post-pandemic, something competitors are not seeing (and competitors include its own Skype product), teams even managed to surpass Slack in third part plugin support. So i'm not really buying this thread as repsentative, but it more function of the extremly high usage whcih is suprising on a forum which is heavily Mac/Linux oriented.

Since time is a key part of the OP's question, The Tartar Steppe by Dino Buzzati (published in Italy in 1940 as Il deserto dei Tartari) is an excellent novel about life and time. In other words, the mistakes we often make with how we spend our lives, time wasted without a clear purpose or enjoyment. I read it when I was in my twenties and it had a great impact on me. Now in my early fifties, I'm not sure I would have the courage to read it again.

Yeah but we don't call it the Deforestation Age or the Plague Age, and most people don't center those concerns when talking about the past.

Re plague, the one thing that could be argued actually comes to mind when considering the middle ages, those waves of disease killed ~ half the population. To compete, climate change would have to kill several billion people. I think it's fair to call that alarmist.
My wife got stuck in the e-gate, because it instructs you to take off your glasses and have your face scanned, but she couldn't follow the instructions without her glasses, causing her to panic a little.

I'll take a manned gate any day.
