> Poor guy gets money from the govt. == "a leech"; rich guy gets money from the govt. == "a stimulus for the economy".

Huh? That's the exact opposite of everything I've seen. Rich people are called leeches just for being rich, let alone receiving money from the government.
Here is a list of perennial resources and reliability as assessed by the wikipaedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Per...

Interestingly they rely on politifact which is a somewhat opinion-based fact checker.

They also consider WikiLeaks "unreliable". It's dumps from companies and govt's, so the lying and unreliability should not be a reflection of their reliability but the gov'ts and companies whose leaks reach them.

I love how they lob accusations of clickbait at some orgs but not others, when almost all news orgs engage in clickbait.

> 10 years ago you could have productively used your computer and software without ever needing to touch an internet connection

And then users wanted collaboration features, weren't keeping their software up to date (so it had to be done for them), wanted to share their data across their device on the cloud, etc, etc.
I also used to have a lot of fun with the KeepRight tool. Something oddly satisfying about taking a small geographic area and completely removing all flagged "problems". Feels like taking an ugly .C file and fixing all the warnings and lint errors. Only problem with KeepRight is I found it had a lot of false positives.

I think you are failing to distinguish between three possibilities.

1. Most people like censorship, or at least certain kinds of censorship. They don't use Gab because Gab doesn't censor the things they want censored.

2. Most people don't want to be in a forum that's all crazy evil people all the time. They don't use Gab because they think most of the people on Gab are crazy and/or evil.

3. Most people just want to use whatever social network their friends and family use. Maybe also other people they admire or find interesting and want to follow despite not knowing them. They don't use Gab because hardly anyone they know or admire is on Gab and everyone they know is on Facebook or Instagram or TikTok or Twitter or whatever.

You are claiming it's all about #1. I actually suspect #3 is much the most important effect. The other two may look alike but they are different and I think #2 is much bigger than #1.

A hypothetical version of Gab that didn't censor white supremacists, QAnon groupies, people who think the COVID-19 vaccines will enable Bill Gates to control you with 5G networking, etc., but that somehow wasn't (perceived to be) dominated by those people might actually be pretty attractive. It probably still wouldn't get much use because everyone's on other social networks and no one is on Gab, but it would be in with a chance of success.

But, of course, if everyone else is running full-scale witch hunts and you make a space that doesn't do that, then all the witches will go there, whether or not that was your goal. I think in Gab's case it was actually their goal, though. They may say that they're all about freedom of speech, and maybe they believe that, but I'm pretty sure that what motivated the creation of Gab was wanting freedom for certain particular kinds of speech.

(Note: wanting a space not dominated by X is the same thing as wanting X to be censored, even if it turns out that not censoring X inevitably leads to the space being dominated by X. Someone who leaps off a tall building because he delusionally thinks he can fly doesn't want to fall to the ground and die. Someone who tries to avoid accidental death and fatal diseases doesn't want to suffer gradual decay as a result of aging. Etc.)

Anyway: if you want to argue that Gab's lack of success shows that people want censorship, you need to show some actual evidence that it's #1 rather than #2 and #3 that causes it, and so far you haven't.
Does a child being stabbed in the face make knives evil? Or a child being crushed by a car make vehicles evil? Guns are inanimate objects and I don't really understand the desire to assign them attributes like "evil." There are absolutely evil people who use guns to do evil things, but the same can be said for many other objects.
I didn't say the EU, which has a collective defense treaty similar to that of NATO. I said Europe. And to answer that question:

2014, Ukraine

2008, Georgia

1992, Moldova and Romania

And of course the Soviet Union invading, occupying and brutally oppressing half of Europe after WW2 (including several countries now in the EU and NATO). Or have you forgotten? They haven't.
Yes - joins work across tables and schemas! This (toy) example connects IAM user records with Slack user data:

select u.name, s.id, s.display_name
from aws_iam_user as u, slack_user as s
where u.name = s.email
It actually is possible with raster tiles as well - see e.g. the local chapter work in France ( https://www.openstreetmap.fr ) or Germany ( https://www.openstreetmap.de ) or the osMap project with 10 different language versions ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/osMap ).
All those are produced with raster tiles.

But you are right as this approach does not scale well in regard to using it for all languages out there. So a vector tile stack is a better approach for just switching languages.
Everyone has a different experience! Object oriented programming and design have had approximately no impact on my own career, while SQL knowledge has been indispensable. I don't think they're really in competition.
Every company has a certain threshold revenue size for new BU initiatives -- for a company Google's size it's going to be measured in the billions, which probably didn't seem unreasonable if they assumed game streaming would be a $5bn+ market by 2024 and they'd have a major piece of that. Instead, looks like Stadia was earning a bit south of $100mm/year (with likely unfavorable marginal economics), so well below where they would have wanted this to land.

The problem, of course, is that doing this is going to have downstream impacts if Google wants to stay in the gaming tech market (and some ancillary impacts on the perception of their stability as a tech partner in general). Whether that's worth the burn rate on the BU is a question that presumably was asked and answered, and led to this shutdown.

By contrast, of course, AWS is willing to keep solutions going essentially forever, even if they're on life support; while players like Microsoft or Intel are a lot more cautious about new BU initiatives in the first place. Google seems to be in a questionable middle ground of aggressively greenlighting new initiatives, but being unwilling to take the financial hit of sustaining them even if they don't pan out as desired.

With so many people laughing at the infamous top comment of the Dropbox HN launch[1], I got obsess with the idea one day we would be able to generate Dropbox like UI for any protocol like FTP by implementing this simple interface:

```

interface IBackend {

ls(path) []file

cat(path) stream

save(path, stream)

rm(path)

mv(from, to)

mkdir(path)

}

```

So I open source my work [2] as a result of that thought experiment. Almost 7k github star later, there's about 40k users who use my tool every month to access their FTP server, SFTP server, S3, WebdAV and more protocols and was contacted by people in places I would have never dream like NASA and MIT.

That project is a few order of magnitude more impact full than anything I've done in my professional life and I'm super excited to the prospect of developing the idea further as file manager are an amazing abstraction. My mum can navigate through folders and click on files but I would have a hard to time to explain her what a tree is and a lot of complex system can be model as simple file managers. A good example which was implemented in Filestash [3] is a relational database, the db can be modeled as different folders, tables as subfolders and rows as file which can be edited and save back which would under the hood simply generate a bunch of sql queries

There's still a lot to do but at this stage, it doesn't make enough money to make it a full time job yet.

MongoDB actually doesn't store JSON. It stores a binary encoding of JSON called BSON (Binary JSON) which encodes type and size information.

This means we can encode objects in your program directly into objects in the database. It also means we can natively encode documents, sub-documents, arrays, geo-spatial coordinates, floats, ints and decimals. This is a primary function of the driver.

This also allows us to efficiently index these fields, even sub-documents and arrays.

All MongoDB collections are compressed on disk by default.

(I work for MongoDB)
I deal with applications that run multiple instances. To support that, it would require either an affinity cookie to "stick" the session to a single instance (which could go down at any time based on load) or a centralized session database. I don't like either of those options, so I use JWT cookies.
I prefer OSM to Google Maps when looking at maps. You get better maps with more detail. But, I have to back to GM to find anything with an address. The business database on OSM is poor, and I don't think the system for estimating the location of an address on a street has been particularly good either.

They were terrible years ago on GM, so this is part of the evolution. But I can see how OSM will end up better than GM, like Wikipedia over Encyclopedia Brittanica, but it needs a bit more to get there.

Btw: the online process to make changes on OSM is wonderful and encouraging.
I learned programming my first computer, a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, using its accompanying manual [1]. When I wasn't busy playing games on it, I programmed things like maze generators and a connect-4 player. Then I studied Z80 assembly programming to make the latter run much faster. A few years later I started my Computer Science studies at the university of Amsterdam...

As always, ignore the headline: This article is a very good look at how Wikipedia works in practice; I'm (pleasantly) surprised to see such detailed and factual reporting about Wikipedia in the media.
The comments on the sidebar are interesting - lots of Europeans commenting on salary and tax burden vs. cost of education, retirement and healthcare.

I grew up in Germany, enjoyed a free engineering education but moved to US after graduation. My single anecdotal data point seems to agree with a lot of the US commenters on this post: if you're educated and work for a reputable company you're pretty well off in the US. As the situation becomes worse for blue collar and untrained labor workforce it's clear that it's coming at their expense. Wealth inequality in the US is a huge issue and needs to be addressed.
Good luck getting them to care

In every profession there are good, regular and bad ones. The second opinion is to try to avoid the worse ones, and evaluate if the first treatment is the mainstream opinion or a crackpot idea.

Anyway, they are doing very complicated stuff, like cutting people in half and messing with the internal plumbing. In same cases it's hard to hide mistakes under the carpet like with git --amend. It's like plane pilots, any mistake can be fatal.

For some reason plane pilots have checklist for everything, and very regulated maximal time without rest. Anyway, IIRC surgeons at least count the number of gauze they put and remove inside the patient, but are against checklists. And they still have some weird long shifts in some positions, like 12, 16 or 24 hours https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residency_(medicine)#Adoption_...
Misleading headline. Wikipedia doesn’t have a Fox News problem. The process of establishing reliability is working exactly as intended and in this case seems to have produced a perfectly reasonable result.

> The rule shortens the time required for satellite operators to deorbit LEO satellites to no more than 5 years after completing their mission, from 25 years.

De-orbiting faster means reserving more propellant for the final de-orbit burn. Since the lifespan of satellites is already generally determined by how much propellant they have, this new rule effectively reduces the lifespan of any satellite high enough to require a de-orbit burn.

Companies that use very low satellites are impacted less, since atmospheric drag does more of the work.
They address this at the end of the article

> Our calculations account for air drag and the effects of gravity.

> While the return velocity is dependent upon a number of factors, firing angle is extremely important. Bullets fired at an angle maintain their angular ballistic trajectory and are less likely to tumble, allowing them to pick up more speed on the way down.

You make a good point about the infographic showing a cartridge being fired, but as far as I can tell there is only one infographic on the page that actually shows this. These factors make me suspect that you didn't actually read the article to the end before criticizing it. "Intellectual rigor" indeed.
These newspapers all have Facebook pages (and Twitter accounts) where they voluntarily post and promote their news articles. I’d venture they get a ton of free traffic from social media companies and are far more dependent on social media than the inverse…

The bottom line is people weren’t paying newspapers for their news. They had a geographic moat, and controlled printing and distribution; and when the internet made distribution costs free, their business model tanked, much like the music industry and CDs. But it’s far easier to blame
Facebook than admit that the world changed and left them behind.

Dewalt has 20v and 60v batteries. the 60v batteries can also power 20v tools, and can be ganged together to power 120v tools.

That said, I suspect power tools are a different animal because of current.

This isn’t true with WKWebView. You might need a WKProcessPool but it’s certainly not a lot of code you have to write yourself.

Frege is all over analaytic philosophy, as I experienced it as an undergraduate in a top department. Many of the most important papers and books (Dummett, Kripke, Evans, etc) in philosophy of language, logic, mathematics take various of his positions as starting points.

I would describe Frege as the philosopher I had never heard of before showing up at a philosophy department whom I then heard the most about.

His insights were "forgotten" for a time, but have been central to discussions for several decades.
The previous "de-orbing 25 years after mission completion" sound a deliberately unenforceable rule.

I think in the Venn diagram you're proposing, there's a lot of overlap.

However, I think it's useful to look at this with a more objective lens in that these CIA employees are doing a job and that they also report to somebody and what that bog-standard relationship looks like. I think understanding how that fairly boring dynamic works in every federal agency may possibly help explain the behavior you're observing more than anything. There's really no great mystery to it.
>It quickly killed every previous architecture

This feat was much easier to achieve when the industry was much, much smaller, and a single company mostly owned the entire business sector (who were the people that needed databases in the first place).
The US and EU have collectively given Ukraine something like ~$100B in military aid. If they wanted someone to sabotage the pipeline (And they are the elephant in the room, with the most to lose if said pipeline is turned back on) they certainly could find the resources to do it.

Yeah, I get the point, but I stand behind what I said. I probably just worded it the way I did because it's click-baity. :-)

Thinking about your deathbed is really just another way of living in the future instead of the present. On your deathbed you have a completely different set of priorities and abilities, and there's no risk to the fantasy. Because you don't have to actually live it.

I definitely don't disagree within where you ended up. "The point is to optimize your life so that you are satisfied with life - something that is not limited to your dying hours." But I think this idea of reflecting back on an idealized life can be too heavily biased to be useful for some people (me maybe?) I think there's this notion of a sort of toxic ambition, which would be similar to the buddhist notion of living in the future. Seeing a lot of really high functioning artists, I think most reach the point where they realize it's not about the accomplishments, it's about taking enjoyment from the day to day practice of their craft.

But I played video games for most of my youth, and certainly I reflect back and think, maybe if I'd focused harder on school, and gone to a better university, I'd be in a better place now. Probably. But that's not who I was. Shit it's still not who I am. I reflect back fondly, but I just don't enjoy them anymore.

And that's sort of the point. Maybe you will look back and regret your life, but that feeling of regret is such a small part of it.

Does it hurt Microsoft in any way to answer those tickets with "no, your site is participating in a phishing campaign"? And maybe tell the OP how, so that he can clean the malicious material?

And yes, that is a major defamation campaign led by Microsoft against the OP. And since MS even refuses to clarify their claim about the OP's wrongdoing, I imagine he would have an easy time in a court.
I can't believe you even said such a sad thing out load. You don't care what happens to others if your own sad self can keep getting all the food you want and live the good life. The world is connected, Ukraine is a tipping point to Russia slowly taking over democratic countries one by one. Europeans probably care a lot because it's europe and they don't want a war in europe, they are close to Russia. It also sends the signal to China about what we'd do when they feel tempted to attack Taiwan.

Even if you are being cynical about the many wars going on and mistreatment of people, one should be against those too as a moral thing.

Buybacks are not distributions. A company can buyback 99% of it's shares and if the stock goes to 0, the shareholder never got anything. Buybacks increase ownership percentage, and only if they outpace dilution via other means.

The airlines did a ton of buybacks over the years, and their stocks are down. Owning a larger percentage of a stock that's losing value doesn't do you much good.

To say blanket that shareholders prefer buybacks is just wrong. Ignorant shareholders may prefer buybacks at 3% ROI, smart shareholders will prefer activities that yield far higher.

If I can buy an IG bond that yields 6%, why would I want my company to use their cash to buy a 3% yielding asset? Just bubble era mentality fostered by a market that was distorted to the upside via ZIRP.
