Can you offer any citation on losing cases for the practice (other than specifically in Italy, which I'll explicitly note is surprising)?

Also what is the "2015 eu consumer rights act"? The closest thing I can find is "The Consumer Rights Act 2015," which "is an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom." It is neither EU-wide nor does it seem to have anything about airline tickets.

Typically when people talk about EU air regulation they are talking about "EU regulation 261/2004" which also has nothing to do with what you're talking about.

You seem to just be spouting nonsense here. Finally, in the restaurant case, you do not agree to a discounted set course in exchange for finishing all of the portions of the meal. If you want the flexibility, PAY FOR IT. This is like entering a "if you finish this meal within 30 minutes, it's free" restaurant promotion, not finishing the meal, and refusing to pay. Note restaurant promotions of this type are also not "clearly illegal."

The airlines allow you to pay for the flexibility you want. You're just refusing to do so and somehow thinking you're in the right.

Yeah, the whole post is riddled with little technical misunderstandings. It’s nice to see someone working things out in the open though.
Options have this thing called "time value", so you lose just by nothing happening.

It's unclear if OP is getting options as part of his remuneration or if he is gambling, so impossible to advise. If he is gambling, he should just stop.
You could find a way to employ those people. Then you’d get growth in both ways.
Wild! I just assumed that they weren't really selling yet, but turns out they just don't sell vehicles... in Canada.

Be that as it may (your sarcasm), what is a person like this doing in congress? He has no grasp on the ability to think twice about what he is saying or doing.

Any rational person would first try and understand the root cause of the issue rather than jumping to something as outlandish as "deep state" as the first conclusion.

These people jump to stupid conclusions because it somehow validates their ignorant perspective of the world.
In context, I’d assume OP’s options were employer-granted options being far more likely than they were speculating on public market options.

You might think they don't have the means, but they have deep pockets and could buy the necessary equipment. You don't need to be a state actor to do this kind of thing anymore.

A company worried about bankruptcy wouldn’t seem overly worried about issuing new options (which will become worthless if bankruptcy happens, so cost nothing but some paperwork).

There are many good reasons to leave a company whose performance is declining and where your compensation is cut to well below what you can make elsewhere, of course.
Obviously we do all those things. But you NEVER want an outside, and particularly APT owned machine inside your network. They can be well hidden and still do very real damage.

You're fortunate if APTs don't consider you a worthy target. They are no joke, and in most cases are playing a long game, more interested in penetration, persistent presence, and quiet theft of information, than in doing anything you'd notice - until they aren't. We had one who burned an asset that had been cultivated on our network for a couple of years to make a hard press play for information about a very particular high profile patient immediately after that patient had been seen (the fact that the patient was seen was public information). But with over 20,000 servers and 300,000 total nodes on the network - some of which cannot be fully patched because they run software someone has to have access to but which won't run on the newest versions of OSs or databases - you still don't know what else they've burrowed into.

A big tech company supplier to our organization had a very telling incident that ended up being detected on our side of the connection, where a brief mistake by network admins opened a channel through their layers of protection for their buid pipeline. In the minutes it was open, an APT detected the access (likely because they already owned something internal), and inserted code into their certified OS build pipeline, which we ended up with in our institution.
>> my mind always reaches for requires autocracy to fix the problems

Maybe try reaching for something else (such as technological solutions). We are currently on the brink of armageddon due to an autocratic regime. Centralization IRL necessarily leads to corruption over time. It's efficient but not robust.
in a sense our problems are caused by our desire to be free

this is an important point. and the next step is the realization that, therefore, the only way to make the world better is through education, and motivating people to strive to be better themselves, to think about our future, to contribute to the advancement of society.
I think you are being optimistic - I don't believe the transition can happen in a decade, even two seems wishful thinking. But it's about something else: about making sure everybody in our society understands the transition is necessary and they are willing to adapt. This wasn't obvious before the war, with many people or even whole societies preferring the old comfy status quo.

As for myself, I have a quite large family, and of course as all human beings we have worries about the future, but nothing really serious happened to us, and our lives are more or less as before. My electricity bill rose by 30% but it's still ridiculously small. I see no any signs of Europe falling despite of what Russian media are actively trying to tell their viewers. Maybe it's to stop emigration, but the ones likely to migrate (=young & talented) know better already. Many of them are staying only because they don't want to leave their older parents.

Yes, it only failed because AMD came up with AMD64 thanks to their patent agreements.

I'm not disagreeing with you. In fact I'm pretty much agreeing -I'm saying 10Kh is necessary but not sufficient.

You are saying:
10Kh of practice + tutoring costs + (implicitly) not having other responsibilities to block the learning either directly via work or whatnot or indirectly via emotional stress.

That 10Kh is in your equation, but isn't the only part of the equation. That is it's necessary but not sufficient.
In case anyone things this has anything to do with the current Russia situation, it most likely has not.

Stuff like that happens every few years on larger scale and sometimes multiple times a year on smaller scale (e.g. part of Berlin local trains not going because of it).

A lot of this sabotage comes from people trying to steal cables, but then also sometimes giving up in the process.

Then there a climate crazed people which in a twisted way blame the trains for partially causing the climate crisis because they are too expensive...

There are also two or three other radicalized movements which in twisted and less twisted ways use the DB as a representative for the "evil state/system" and then jump from there to sabotaging the train service, not limited to the DB (sounds stupid? it is, but happens anyway).

The only thing special in this case is how many lines had been affected, not that it happened.
It was indeed successful at killing PA-RISC, high-end MIPS, and Alpha, because their owners (HP, SGI, Compaq) abandoned them for Itanium.
In the horseshoe model of politics, those two are not far apart from each other. They both oppose the competent centrist.
Itanium only failed because AMD exists, with patent agreements that allowed them to create AMD64.
While the top priced SE/30 today exceed the top priced Classic II, for the unrestored machines there is a lot of variance. You can find Classic II for sale on eBay for close to $400, but at times also find SE/30 for under $200. A lot depends on condition and whether the seller is a member of the classic macs cartel. There is a lot of screwing going on in the exchange of old macs. In the early 2000s, Classic II were consistently more expensive than SE/30.
The way they're using this as promotion, it could be assumed that they did this on purpose. But that's probably giving them too much credit.
> what is a person like this doing in congress?

There's no aptitude test for Congress. People vote for people who represent their views. Being as positive about it as possible, the idea is the representative sets direction and then civil servants, who are tested for aptitude, implement it. People don’t need to be smart to have a valid point of view worth representing.

In the UK people mock ministers who don't have health experience running the NHS, or in Belgium an obese person running their health service, for two examples, but the point isn't that they represent the health service, the point is that they represent the users of the health service. (Sometimes that means representing the needs of the health service to the rest of the Government.)

Its not like they even try to hide their location or anything.

If I was to put my tinfoil hat on I would say those current attacks concentrate on Germany because due to long standing influence of Russians on German politics German's political class is a de-facto ally of Russia (against the will of its own population). Those attack's purpose is to scare ordinary Germans into letting their politicians continue pretend they help while they continue doing all in their power to help Putin's regime(or its equivalent under a different name).
Maybe, maybe not, but it's been the standard operating procedure of Russian government to - in reaction to setbacks during this war - produce a gradient of progressively worse news instead of giving out the whole truth at once.
Is It Luck or Something Else? How Never Covid 'Novids' Have Avoided Covid-19
The biggest thing is that expectations are different. Mastodon doesn't do much (or rather ActivityPub doesn't do much - there are many ActivityPub implementations), though there's at least a less manual way of handling federation than having to e-mail people and get added to their config by hand.

With USENET people expected to see every posts in the newsgroups they were subscribed to, and a lot of people would complain loudly if anything was missing. With a network like this nobody expects to read everything. At the same time receiving everything is easier (still) - if you federate with a couple major endpoints you get most stuff. There will be challenges with this as the network grows but I spent too much time ensuring we got messages from newsgroup X within Y hours (less was unfeasible, as there were still sites exchanging on a schedule via dialup).

With respect to spam, once you accept you're not likely to see everything, things get a lot simpler and you can apply a lot more aggressive filtering.

Personally I'm working on my own ActivityPub implementation, and one of the things I've used on Twitter in the past very effectively via the Twitter API was a simple Bayesian network used to rank things to surface interesting stuff, but lots of room to apply more sophisticated machine learning there too.

Security camera footage of the explosion. (https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1578638952885784576)

If it was a truck bomb, it would had to have been a suicide bomber, but I have doubts. Observe the small car that was just going past in the opposing lane at the instant of the explosion. It kept going and you can see it driving toward the camera. If it had been next to such a large truck bomb, it would have been blown off the road.
Whoa. Time has been around for hundreds of years, and clearly we still don't know much about it.
what is a person like this doing in congress

He's not. He's a candidate. And not for Congress, for the position of Secretary of State of Arizona.

More to the root of the problem: People are elected by other people by popular vote, not by an intelligence or ability test. Democracy is — at its heart — a popularity contest.

The theory is that the populace should be smart enough to recognize the unqualified and not vote for them. But that doesn't work as often as it should due to a number of reasons:

- The influence of advertising

- Political parties/political tribalism

- Fear-mongering in various forms.

None of these are new, and have been part of the nation's political life since its inception. But now we have new things:

- People who think that education is not important

- An entire industry trying to convince people that aspiring to higher education is a bad idea

- The removal of foundational subjects like civics, geography, and social studies from schools

The result is that the general population gets dumbed down, and is no longer able to discern who is a statesman and who is a court jester.

Not that I expect it to happen any time soon, but Intel and AMD are proving with every release they have nothing for energy efficient machines. M1 battery is almost always the first thing people mention. And as M2 gets released, more people will get used/cheaper M1s. Companies release more aarch64-compatible software and even games every day.

At some point the x86 companies will either have to respond or see more and more people migrate to either Apple or other arm laptops (serious alternatives are not here yet, but a few producers are starting to experiment)

List of design systems used by governments
What an interesting way to put it.
What other world views are you referring to? (excluding the flat earth example)
Compared to e.g. Japan and some other countries long distance trains in Germany are _very_ unreliable.

Compared to some other countries it is extremely reliable.

Local train service reliability differs quite a bit depending on region and sometimes in region which exact train you take.

And perception of reliability can differ from reality, e.g. Berlin people always complain about how unreliable their public transportation is, but due to high frequency of the transportation and a tight nitted 3-4 layer transportation net it is in effect really not that bad. Sure there are a few places where you e.g. reliable miss a follow up connection. But you can calculate that in and with delay times included it is still better then what you find in many other places in the word. So uh, perception is it's a catastrophe, but practice is it's far behind Tokio but not that bad at all in general (for most connections).

>Any rational person would first try and understand the root cause of the issue rather than jumping to something as outlandish as "deep state"

Conspiratorial thinking is now so widespread that virtually any act of incompetence, mere accident or random fluke is attributed to malice and collusion by 'deep' this or 'big' that or some shadowy foreign entity.

Including here by the way, every thread on some Google ranking, de-platformed Facebook winemom or what have you is full of comments on how it's either some Machiavellian business move or some other grand plan.
If one selects code and comments (with //) in most editors, then uses the "comment this block" action, the result is code commented with // and comments with ////. It's more likely this is a result of using a code editor or IDE than a particular style choice.
They need to stop commingling FBA goods. Full stop. It’s a smart, efficient idea in a world of good-faith actors. Not in a world of scammers and knock offs
Because of all these reasons I have stopped purchasing almost anything at all on amazon. Also, it's been like this for YEARS, they clearly don't have any interest at all in fixing it. They make more money the way it is. Nowadays, I try mostly just to buy direct from the company selling the product. Usually the cost is the same. It's slower, yes, and returns are more difficult, yes, but at least I know I'm getting the actual product and not a cheap ripoff that'll either fall apart or poison me.

> Are there many servers optimising that to a shorter feed?

That's certainly not the official semantics for these headers, they're validators, so that the server can tell the client nothing changed (304). I would assume overriding these for some sort of pagination would also hinder intermediate caches, though I guess that has become less of an issue now that HTTPS is everywhere, but edge caches performing HTTPS termination might still take this information in account?

As far as HTTP caching semantics are concerned, the new version of the resource would replace the old one, and new clients would be served the latest cached version, truncated.

In fact the requests headers make that very clear, as they're called respectively If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since.

Incidentally there are also If-Match and If-Unmodified-Since headers (POST, PUT, DELETE), but I don't know if anyone actually uses them in the wild. IIRC they were intended for "transactional" update guarantees: you'd fetch a resource, then PUT to it with If-Match and / or If-Unmodified-Since, and you'd a 412 (Precondition Failed) if the resource had been modified in the meantime.
> The fact that he released the first genesis block on 3rd January 2009 with the sentence of UK Times article is not casual. We can see from the first version of the source code that his network was ready many days before that date. Was he waiting for "fixing issues"? No, he ended up clearly with a release that contained many errors (e.g. amount created in genesis block can not be spent).

Sounds almost more like fair instead of a bug, but nommatter what, time going by between "finishing" and releasing is also more than normal on various levels for many reasons?!

> It's really weird to have both styles on codes, unless there are more people (>= 1) that work on the code or that reviews the code.
