> You spend a long time arguing the opposite with your bicycle argument. The government never forced them to standardize and they did.

They really didn't though. From different axel widths forcing older ones obsolete (ie my 10yo $450 Chris King hub in perfect condition 135x10QR now has precisely zero frames it will fit), to actual wheel sizes themselves (26" wheel frame are nearly impossible to find, outside of Dirt Jumping), the bike industry is busily doing their own version of 'embrace & extend'.

There's even electronic shifting now, adding a teensy bit of advantage to rich roadies, while removing the ability to fix your own derailleur.
> they've been wanting to get that pipeline approved and operational

Not recently. Recently, they pulled out a string of excuses to send less and less gas over (turbine bing repaired, sanctions, etc.) to show Europe their leverage. They don't feel any lack of money currently, and they know with current hydrocarbon prices, they have options to sell, even if at discount, and no money shortages currently. So they're betting on European population being weak and European energy infrastructure being dependent on Russian hydrocarbons, and thus citizens pushing the politicians to make nice with Russia.

The fact that they invested a lot of money in it means nothing. They have money. They have oil and gas that they can sell for money. What they need is for the West not to send so much weapons and ammunition to Ukraine that Russian army, numerous but weak and disorganized, will be completely crushed and expelled from Ukraine. Cutting off the flow directly would expose them to contractual sanctions, which can be leveraged against assets Russia still has in the West. But cutting off the flow by "mysterious explosion" reaches the same goal while providing Russians with tiny veiled plausible deniability. That's how they always operate. I'm sure in 5 years or so they'd admit it openly. Just as they admitted that "insurgents" in East Ukraine and Crimea were actually Russian military and intelligence officers, or Putin's private military "Wagner Group" exists, was created by a close Putin ally - which they were denying for years - and is operating in Ukraine.
I'm not familiar with Cosmic Crisp, here in apple country on the eastern shores of Lake Michigan the new hotness over the last few years has been "SweeTango", a cross of a Honeycrisp with a Zestar.
so you'd call the pre-JIT JVM an "interpreter" and you'd call Java an interpreted language?
Doesn't make any sense since pressure is measured on the German side as well.
Russia benefits if the western powers fight over responsibility.

Argument in favor: It's obvious sabotage. If Ukraine, the USA, et al did it, it would have been in their interests to make it look less deliberate.
This seems widly exploitable. Even on the OS level, I would argue an application should not have access to thoes 30 pixels.

Beyond rhe security concerns, this seems like a proprietarization of the web for Win11, a la Internet Explorer.
Network effects too. Telegram is big in Europe.
In the Uk, at least in terms of what’s available in normal shops you have all the varieties of “eating apples”, (which you pick up and bite into in the normal way) and then the “cooking apple” which is roughly twice the size of an eating apple and is too dense and tart to be eaten in the normal way but is used in apple pies with lots of sugar and maintains much of its density through the cooking process. There is only one readily available variety- the Bramley.
They get paid for the previous work they have done (two weeks, half month, one month, depending on pay period).

That’s theirs.

But going forward, they don’t have any right to any level of pay above minimum wage.

I’ve personally dealt with this. I had an employer run out of money and be acquired by a new company. The new company owes paychecks for last pay period, but wants to pay everyone lower salaries.

Going forward the new company could pay whatever (above minimum wage). But they owned all the debts of the previous company including that last months wage.

We only had at will hiring agreements, but that didnt matter.
This is some serious motivated reasoning. AMD got murdered Q4 last year (on the client side, while dominating datacenter sales) because Intel 12th gen were good, cheap, and abundant, while AMD Zen 3 were scarce, expensive, and slower. If Intel gen 13 are any good at these price points AMD is in a tough fight regardless of their supply situation.

I dont really get why hate speech shouldn't bring police to your door, you can get sued for these things offline, where is the difference if you do it via some online medium instead?
In Germany, the freedom of one individual ends where the freedom of others begin.

I can sue you, if you insult me.
Or if you claim something about me which isn't true.
Or if you threaten me.
Or $thousand other ways which usually go hand in hand with hatespeech.

Makes me wonder, isn't the same true for the US? (Maybe not the insulting part, but at least wrongful, damaging claims or threats?)
by deniability I mean that you cannot be sure if this is Russia, USA or someone else. If you use depth charges, they explode in certain way and leave some debris which say "this was XXX bomb so must be Russia/USA".

This is sabotage for sure.

There's another option, which I think is more likely than Ukraine being better at it. Because we are supportive of Ukraine, we want Ukrainian propaganda to be true.

Yet it was the United States president that told a German reporter that NS2 will never go online and the US will see to that.

Pres. Biden: "If Russia invades...then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it."

Reporter: "But how will you do that, exactly, since...the project is in Germany's control?"

Biden: "I promise you, we will be able to do that." abcn.ws/3B5SScx
Yeah, I put that to work a lot too, but nuke anything is great for sites you're probably not going to visit more than once since it doesn't clutter up your filter list just to get something out of your way (I'll even remove images or menus if they're distracting me from content while reading). If I do add a random one off website to uBO it's usually because they did something really obnoxious and I was like "Never again!"
It's not just Russian bots, unless I've been deepfaked, Biden announced he would do this if Russia invaded Ukraine prior to the Feb invasion.
The numbers are extremely counter-intuitive because we live far longer than we're fertile. Imagine we have a society that starts with 100 newborns with a fertility rate of 1, in a world where everybody gives birth at 20 and dies at 80. To make this 'sim' slightly more realistic, I'm also going to add in some filler population in year 0 with the assumption of a 6 fertility rate. Incidentally this is exactly the case for South Korea which went from greater than 6 to less than 1 in an incredibly brief period of time:

---

(148) Year 0: 4 sixties, 11 forties, 33 twenties, 100 newborns <=== last year of 6 fertility rate, ~3:1 youth:elder generation ratio

(194) Year 20: 11 sixties, 33 forties, 100 twenties, 50 newborns <=== start of 1 fertility rate

(208) Year 40: 33 sixties, 100 forties, 50 twenties, 25 newborns

(187) Year 60: 100 sixties, 50 forties, 25 twenties, 12 newborns <==== last high fertility elder dies, start of new 1:2 youth:elder generation ratio

(93) Year 80: 50 sixties, 25 forties, 12 twenties, 6 newborns

(46) Year 100: 25 sixties, 12 forties, 6 twenties, 3 newborns

(23) Year 120: 12 sixties, 6 forties, 3 twenties, 1 newborn

---

In spite of having an extinction level fertility rate, everything just seems perfectly peachy at first. The initial population is even seeing some very healthy increases over decades. As the high fertility group starts to die the growth sputters, but it seems less than catastrophic. But then when the generation that's failed to replace itself starts dying, it's like a bomb goes off. Suddenly the population is getting chopped in half every 20 years to say nothing of a large elder population now being supported by a smaller than ever youth population.

In South Korea (and most of the world, including the US) the key initial inflection is between 1960 and 1980 where they went from greater than 6, to less than 2 fertility, which is now less than 1. So their 'great dying' event will start sometime around 2060. So far away, yet also so predictable - and with 0 doubt of its certainty unless something changes dramatically now. And that seems unlikely.
> Not necessarily. Learning enough English to understand the UI is much lower level than being able to converse.

Exactly this. For example, I am learning German and have changed the language of my reading tablet's UI to German. That in itself is a useful learning tool.
That's not misleading, that's standard terminology. an interpreter using bytecode is still an interpreter.
chargebacks may get you banned, but cancelled cards are fine. It's on the business to perform dunning requests and maintain short billing grace periods for automatic renewal charge retries before retracting services.

Revolut's method is to automatically cancel the virtual card after the user-initiated purchase goes through, not before, and not by issuing chargebacks. Obviously if you actually want to have a subscription autorenewed and stay uninterrupted, you shouldn't use the virtual cards there as you will be getting service interruptions every billing cycle and have to manually update your payment with a new vcard. Still, not likely to get you banned.

A different risk of using virtual cards is that the merchant might not be able to issue a refund after the bank destroys the card.

source: as primary billing engineer at our subscription B2C company — cancelled cards give us no problems that make us consider banning a customer. The closest is when we have a customer using such a feature bombarding our support about service interruptions because of his own cancellations, and trying to calmly explain that they did that themselves.

Chargebacks definitely do pose a problem though, as they increase the risk of us getting blacklisted as a fraudulent merchant, and also a more lengthy settlement process with the customer and bank, where we aren't even able to simply issue a refund and close the issue.
1) From what I have heard their consumer customer support services are non-existent to poor, yet so many people rely on them.

2) When I downloaded my Google data it really gave me a shock of the amount of data they have on me considering I take lots of steps to increase privacy, some of the data was data that I had manually deleted over 3 years ago, yet they still stored it on a server, really makes me question their motives as keeping that much unnecessary data cannot be good for the environment

3) Owning an Android phone is a curse, Android phones home and collects so much data using "Android serveries" which most apps like Uber rely on to function, it restricts what the user can do up to the point where Android being open source is useless

I really thought Google was better than this as they labelled themselves as super progressive and human oriented yet they are ONLY progressive when it benefits them and not their users
Sure, they aren't ByteDance, but they aren't something good, to me atleast
That possibility is long gone. Damaging the Nord Stream pipeline however gives Putin reason to continue to not supply gas (rather than flat out breaking existing contracts) hence maximising the possibility for civil disruption in Europe over the Winter. The less gas there is in Europe the more chance of this occurring. No one knows for sure at this point but all these comments on this thread that there isn't reason or motive for Russia to do this is complete nonsense.

If I had the time, I would have a house built by others when it comes to concrete, framing, roof, electrical and drywall. The repetitive skills those tradesmen have is far more efficient than DIY. I quickly learned that by watching concrete videos on youtube of professionals. For DIY, I've come to appreciate the time and quality it takes to do the finishing work such trim. Oil based paint with high VOCs can't be bought in California unless it is small such as a pint or quart, but it's the most durable and looks the nicest for trim. It can be ordered online from out of state though.

Your orderability idea is about "monotonic" mappings.

I watch every episode! Good for him.

I wish he would stop pumping the newsletter. I like that he's promoting his own stuff, but he doesn't understand why i watch his channel - it's because they are informative videos, and give me something meaningful to watch when i eat dinner.

I'd love a westernamatry channel, or something similar in being a sister channel. Maybe shorter episodes. maybe just reading news articles and reflecting on them. Lots of formats that could work.

the stories he tells are unique and intriguing - for me that's the value.

Hah, “fix”. Basics like food and electricity is already becoming way more expensive.

Don’t get how someone can write multiple paragraphs on this stuff and not mention “planned obsolesence”. Consumer capitalism is not a lifestyle but an economic system. Every household is supposed to have 1–2 cars, one lawnmower, one electric snow blower, one chainsaw, one of every this and that tool, and so on. And everyone is supposed to buy something new when these things break down. Not fundamentally because labor is expensive but fundamentally because consumer capitalism demands consumption.

The SEC is still working on the crypto scams of 2018-2019.

One problem with this narrative is that they managed to kill off Kik/Kin and Telegram TON before they launched but they let other pump and dumps play out. Clearly it's possible for the SEC to do their job effectively but they just aren't doing it.

(Not to mention Libra/Diem which was an outlier.)

Workers are so damn good and easy…

This could be the same for the US or Ukraine. So considering that, all things being equal, it sounds pretty terrible for the main Russian goals, so I'm going to say no it wasn't Russia.
Right—most of our stuff is so very much cheaper, especially relative to wages, than it was even in the 1980s, let alone earlier. Of course we aren't as interested in repairing our stuff, either DIY or paying to have it repaired.

This goes for food, too. Articles about food waste can be read as articles lamenting that food's so cheap it's not worth trying to recover all that waste.

I'm pretty far from a free-market superfan, but these two particular, perennial stories—"can you believe how much food waste there is?! What a tragedy!" and "nobody repairs anything anymore, what a shame"—amount to complaining that shit's way too cheap, to my eye. Neither's due to carelessness or wastefulness or laziness, really, but economy. Quintuple the prices on everything and watch food waste plummet and interest in repair skills achieve levels not seen in decades. But, like... I'd rather we not.

That surprises me because the vaccinations being studied were not available to the public for that entire period. The first dose outside a clinical trial was given in Queens, New York on December 14 that year. Before this, they were only available as part of trials which excluded lactating individuals.
I think that’s true of all software, people are fallible open source or not. I’d love to see average time to discovery and reporting in closed versus open source though. I’ve always heard it’s better in open source, which intuitively makes sense, and by the nature of closed source I think gathering the data will be challenging but valuable to see a tight comparison.
What is the worst case scenario here? Will the adversary be able to break out of the sandbox? i.e. will the adversary be able to access non WhatsApp data?

Due to the special inside coating to reduce friction, seawater ingress would mean the abandonment of the pipeline. It’s just not possible to fix the line without just replacing the entire thing. I theorize it’s possible to run at severely reduced flow rates if they were able to get the water out, but that seems unlikely since the receiving facilities are not designed to handle the tremendous amount of water that would be in the system.

Yes. The standardization of the interface was helpful, though. Simplifies drivers, and implies less trust in the device.

Apple already does this,[1] though not many car manufacturers support it (BMW and a few models from Kia).

Teslas let you use any iPhone or Android phone as the key. You can also use your phone to turn on valet mode (which limits acceleration and max speed) and track and control the car (turn on heat/AC, lock/unlock, view through the cameras, etc). Lastly, you can book service or request roadside assistance from the phone app. It's all very handy, and I'm surprised more car companies haven't copied these features yet.
