Another round of blaming Germany!

I guess after the Nord Stream sabotage they need another issue. The whole of Europe took gas from Russia, but Nord Stream was the incarnation of evil. The press was full of Nord Stream articles and never mentioned the other pipelines.

Poland took gas well into May 2022, and only stopped after Russia demanded payment in rubles. The Yamal pipeline is still standing. Europe still gets Russian gas via the Ukraine transit pipelines.

So apparently the issue is that there must not be a direct connection between Germany and Russia, so the transit states have leverage.

What does Poland do itself? It routes the new pipeline from Norway via Denmark and the sea, avoiding transit via Germany.

Perhaps Germany should leave the EU like Britain if it is so horrible.
My first job after completing mine gave me ~25% pay increase, and it's gone only up since. I don't claim this is causal, but I'm not displeased with the correlation. Personally, I found I enjoyed the coursework more than I had during undergrad, and I challenged myself to strive for actual mastery of the material, rather than just doing the minimum to get the credential.
Your remark is ambiguous, so to be perfectly clear, I'm decidedly not insinuating that anyone is a problem because of their sex or skin color.
The Economist isn't a mouthpiece for the UK government.
I'm increasingly encountering the following hostile sequence:

1. A CAPTCHA

2. A cookie consent ad

3. An immediate content blocking pop up asking me to subscribe to their newsletter(generally
before I've had time to read a single sentence.

It's amazing how miserable browsing the web has become. It's also amazing how many companies see this experience as acceptable. I just close the page when I get the email newsletter request.

I realize the CAPTCHA is not going away but I feel like I'm regularly seeing it just to browse ordinary content.

Is there any way browsers could limit these annoying mailing list subscription prompts as well? I feel like this has quickly become a scourge on par with the cookie consent ads.

Not sure how you came to the idea that internet slang is anything other than internet slang.
This is honestly completely terrifying. I grew up firmly believing that we enlightened western democracies had done away with authoritarian crackdowns on free speech.

It’s so jarring and depressing to see this stuff happening.

The only solution to bad speech is MORE good speech, not censorship.
The first format also makes it easy to do counts of # of entries within November 2020. The Second makes life considerably more difficult (not impossible though).
If your theory was true, the phonetic pronunciation wouldn't have been there.
Elixir is a great idea, but it's already dead. I know of several companies here in Europe that already ditched it and went back to other older technologies or moved to Go, etc. because the Elixir ecosystem is so small. Also they had tons of trouble hiring for it.

No unsafe to be found. The feature is there, it just has a different keyword than you might be used to -- the same way Haskell and Java both have something called "class" that mean different things.
Perhaps ironic that Texas is offended at cultural misappropriation of the values that Texas promotes.

That type of scheme does however help foster alignment, which can be more valuable than individual output. When the performance of the company is a bigger multiplier than your personal performance, you are financially more interested in the company doing well than your own stardom.

It doesn’t really drive people to work 80 hour weeks, but that isn’t by itself valuable anyway.
I don't think that's what it being said there. Conservatives on the Supreme Court are being whiny babies about the criticism that their obviously biased rulings are getting (and if we ever get an unbiased court, these rulings will all be thrown out ASAP), but none are actually suggesting that that criticism should be illegal as far as I've seen.
Ive lost the thread, but I think i might have meant to comment sub a different comment.
The images of the damage seem to thoroughly rule out the boat theory. There's clear evidence of lateral shockwaves on the upper-side of the deck (the guardrails are basically completely blown off), and the underside doesn't have the same lateral damage--the catwalks are mostly intact, for example.

I'm also skeptical of missile theory--if you're targeting this with a missile, and you have the precision of such, the place to blow up the bridge wouldn't be where it was hit, but on the high portion of the bridge, where replacing damaged sections would be hard.

The truck bomb does seem the most likely option to me.
That article does not preclude expressing criticism of others, or opinions about their actions.

Having worked on the banking side, I’d say it’s because bankers hate technology. You’d be amazed at what some people will do to avoid it. I had one guy retire in 2005. When a new account manager took over his clients, we learned he’d been telling all of them the bank didn’t have email. Just because he didn’t want to adopt it.
I'd more say it's a form of profit sharing, as are options and equity, but in a reliably valuable cash form as opposed to potentially valuable equity.

If the bonus dollars are evenly distributed as proposed then it won't encourage competitive in-fighting that plagues some incentive systems.
How does MS helps with breaking into specific domains like OS/Compilers/Hardware?

I'm close to complete my Masters and there was basically nothing that'd help with those directly

Generally the whole Masters was mostly wasted time, the only good thing was that there were some people with different backgrounds/domains, so that was cool to see their perspective.

@OP check sylabus and ask graduates about opinions, but remember that you're already experienced, so probably more skilled than average student

I don't know about the economist but there's certain stipulations that went into the foundation of the single currency that favored Germany heavily, and Germany behaved the whole time like it didn't happen.

Most of the european resentment comes from that fact. Most southern european countries were taken for a ride during those negotiations, and have paid (and continue to) a steep price.

I was a strong believer in the common currency but after reading about it for a while I'm not convinced it was a good idea anymore - if you're anyone except Germany or France.

Paul Krugman wrote at length about why that was a mistake, and he was 100% right about it.
Anything in the logs? It just works for me on xps (fedora since 28 till latest). Fwiw, my mac has issues with sleep, so there seems to be some luck involved either way.
Then why offer your opinions?
personally I find the plastic grocery bag bans dumb. I reuse all of my plastic bags and don't buy regular trash bags. in that sense, for me, there's no waste. as paper bags are not resistant to liquid trash, I end up buying trash bags, resulting in net waste.

I doubt most are like me, but those are my two cents. anyone else reuse plastic grocery bags?
Yes, the goal would be to hire more nonwhites than the company currently employs, but the parent is arguing that his company's goal is to exceed proportional representation.
You sound like a fun guy. Enjoy.
This bridge has been used to transfer military equipment and heavy machinery pretty much non-stop for the past seven months, so it is a valid target.
If I had one euro for every time The Economist has said that the Euro/EU were wobbly/breaking/etc I could balance Liz Truss'es budget and have money left for some fish'n'chips.

Well you're correct about hate speech. There's no such thing.
Germany was a huge winner from introduction of the Euro. Some other countries, especially the Latin bloc, cannot cope with the common currency.

(Ironically, it was the German economists who used to be very skeptical against the common currency and were loud about it.)

At the end of the day, the single market will only be popular if growth and prosperity are shared across the continent. If the economic periphery plagued by anemic growth and high debt burden expands, so will populist sentiments. And the economic periphery of the EU is already rather sizeable - even the former GDR could be counted in it, at least when looking at the structural unemployment and migration patterns of young qualified people.

In the US, Trump won his mandate riding on a wave of such populist sentiments from the Rust Belt. In Europe, ethno-national differences run much deeper than interstate differences in America, so the end result may be a fatal split in the Union.

Thing is using nukes in Ukraine probably wouldn't go very well for Putin.

The Ukrainian armed forces are pretty spread out so a nuke or two would only take out a very small percentage of them. It would then probably result in something like:

>Petraeus: US would destroy Russia’s troops if Putin uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/02/us-russia-puti...

ie the US/NATO destroying Russia's forces in Ukraine and or the black sea fleet.

Hitting somewhere like London probably wouldn't go well either as there are like 55 countries against Russia so they hit a small fraction and bang goes Moscow + St Pete and Russia is pretty much done for.
I suppose we should also consider whether the proposed response is to bomb a hospital or reduce somebody's budget.
It seems like a completely valid military target regardless of nordstream. It'd certainly be in Ukraine's interest in blowing up the rest of the rail and road connections to Russia, I'm guessing trade relations will be pretty strained for some time.
Just to be clear, it's not just "I literally froze to death" thousands of people die in the Uk each year due to the cold, and that was before the cost to heat your home more than doubled. Whilst you appreciate the architecture, the rest of us will appreciate not freezing to death.
Bridges are the kind of poster child for civil infrastructure that is usually targeted by belligerents in a war. The Kerch Bridge is a key part of Russian military logistics for Crimea, so it shouldn't be a surprise that it's a target.
Unsurprisingly, every 4K TV on this list is Sceptre.

The bridge is certainly a legitimate military target. However, if indeed a bomb in a civilian-marked truck were used as Russia alleges (I have my doubts based on the footage and pattern of destruction), then it would be an act of terrorism that violates the rules of war (and such an act would be doubly egregious due to the civilians killed as collateral damage in Thai attack).
Isn’t that ‘trawling’?
Why was it a waste of time? Was the ECE program a waste?
As an American, the importance of free speech is ingrained in us from a very early age. It is thought of as a foundation of free society, and it is a VERY high bar to justify using the law to prevent speech.

It is a Central American value.
I have used many other payment providers (in the UK) that deal with 3D Secure (and have done for decades), there's nothing about 3DS that requires things to be asynchronous.

I am currently involved in a project to add Stripe support to a product, and it's a lot more complicated to set up a simple payment than other APIs on the market.

From everything I'd heard about Stripe, I thought the API would be really simple, but it's not.
That's not buying a ROM. That's like saying when you "buy" a movie in Prime Video you are buying an mp4.

Buying a ROM would mean buying a ROM. As in, you get the .ROM.

Steam DRM by the way is trivial to bypass. From Steamworks documentation:

> The Steam DRM wrapper by itself is not an anti-piracy solution. The Steam DRM wrapper protects against extremely casual piracy (i.e. copying all game files to another computer) and has some obfuscation, but it is easily removed by a motivated attacker.

Of course some games have third party DRM, and in the store it will tell you that before you buy it.

But the problem is not the DRM here. Your average gamer wouldn't care about a non invasive as long as they could get the same or better experience than they can now using a pirated ROM.
I can see how easy it is, when Germany is now facing energy crisis and will rather open coal power plants than get going more renewable ones.
I think it's worth it. Contrary to some comments here, we did improve a lot of the fundamentals in algorithms (the clrs book), machine learning, cryptography, programming languages. It will help with whoever screens for formal degrees. It's easier to get into a better school, not as competitive as bachelor's, just drill for the pretty robotic GRE. You can get a research scholarship and TA or RA salary esp. if you join a lab, so they will (modestly) pay you all the way.
In some places it's rare, in some places it's a daily occurrence, and sure you should work towards stability, but the reality is you have to fix this thing now with what you have. There's also the fact that even if it's rare I still have to know it. And if you don't use it often you will forget it. And then why learn two tools if I can do everything with 1? With intellij I can only do day to day, with vim I can do mission critical and day to day. I'd also argue that a seasoned vim user can get things done incredibly faster than a seasoned intellij user.
Define "actively used". Is an ammo depot with no one currently removing items from it actively used? What about a bridge that's used to bring in reinforcements but has no vehicles currently on it?
The point is that the question 'since what' is a misleading intuition, it's not at all essential or implied.

You want to know how long something takes. You take a timestamp before and one after.

A timestamp since what?
Well, by definition, the number of seconds since the unix epoch.

Which unix epoch, exactly? In what timezone?

Unspecified. You could have picked any timezone, and the result would not change, as it is not essential. Even if there is no timezone, not even one that you picked in secret, it still works.

Asking the question for durations is a subtle error. You only need a timezone for a time point. Timestamps are often immediately converted to time points, but that is neither necessary nor inherent.
This kind of ad-hominem happens on every Economist thread here. First order of business is to take a jab at the Economist.

That just means factual things are being reported and people don't want to confront reality.
Ello's had an interesting ride.

It began as a venture by a couple of graphic artists, focused on artists. It happened to have (for a few iterations) a quite clean design based on Markdown, and (with a couple of what should have been reasonably small tweaks) could have done well in the long-form text+images space (now largely owned / failed by old-school blogging engines such as Wordpress, Medium, and Substack).

The features it had, including Markdown's sections and tables was why I'd posted that particular take on G+ there. It simply presented the information better than any other readily-available platform I was using at the time.

In 2015 a bunch of trans activists and sex performers who'd been hounded off Facebook by its Real Names policy wound up on Ello, and a few people arrived from other platforms (I was at the time a refugee from G+). For about six to twelve months it was the New Hawtness, and attempted a few pivots to the space, but performed fairly poorly in doing so. My own Ello profile has a link to a set of curated posts, one section of which details various gripes and failings.

One thing Ello did do was organise as a B-Corp with a community focus. That went swimmingly until it didn't, with the first accepting VC money then being sold to a collector of such sites. The B-Corp language seems to have disappeared, along with the community principles texts. What's left is now ... a sort of vaguely art-aggregation site with an interesting history but little future so far as I can tell. It's burned virtually all its early adoptors (myself included).
I see you have met my countrymen and seen how they view the world.
Are you suggesting the Ukrainian postal service pulled it off? This was months in the making; I bet they already have projects for the liberation of Crimea ready.
punishment is for reinforcement. Our brains are just not sophisticated enough to regularly reevaluate forecasts and stop the chain of events, but do at most trigger on known initial condition, trace and recreate the precedents all the way through to the pain, then just exit with an exit code.
they're in the process of replacing the whole magnetic stripe system right now with a modern contactless system similar to london, vancouver, seattle, etc.
If the truck was headed to Crimea from Russia, why is the Russia bound deck sunk?
I'd prefer if I didn't, but it has few side effects and it's not a recreational thing, so I find it's similar to the Mometasone furoate spray I'm being prescribed to manage my sinusitis. I'd prefer to not need that, too, but breathing is more important.

stochastic terrorism appears to be the academic way of saying “inciting mob violence”

seems pretty straightfoward and honest, to me
Hate speech as a crime is very much a thing in the U.S.; people have been fired from jobs, suspended or expelled from school, even arrested.

On the one hand, there’s a long tradition of free speech absolutism, but on the other, also a long tradition of punishing speech. Then it ends up in court where usually it’s declared to be protected by the Bill of Rights.

Freedom needs to be re-litigated periodically.
Could have had that ready to go for months.
This seems suspiciously close to an ad-hominem argument. The Economist is pro single market and advocated for remain (https://www.economist.com/briefing/2016/02/27/the-brexit-del...)

There were threads in 4chan /g/ around 35c3. Hard to find the photos now, but "Trans aren't real girls
wake up 35c3" post with the number "69115371" is in the thread: https://archive.ph/ki6Un
See other posts to get the impression.

cock.li, /g/, 4chan joint assembly printed and spammed these posters and their logo (you can see it in the OP post thumbnail) all around and were explicitly told not to organize an assembly on 36c3.

Regardless, Vincent Canfield decided to come to 36c3 and started conflicts somewhere around the Tor, GNUNet and some activist/political projects around there, then refused to get out when told to do so by orga and called the police.
Occam's razor leads me to the conclusion that it was most likely done by the Ukrainian intelligence agencies and that the truck was loaded with explosives.

Question is did the driver know or was he unavare.
Unveiled how? Whipped up a digital image? Or released a commemorative set available in local stores?

This reminds me of how people get angry at me whenever I poke holes in the science of movies. Movies affect people's ideas of what is possible and what is impossible.

This is why I'm also quite against, in the general case, post-apocalyptic movies that predict a future based on non-science impossible things happening. Many spaceflight movies and TV shows for example show very bad things in the future giving people a false impression that the future will be worse than the past even that goes against direct evidence that throughout human history things have trended better, on average, every single year with a few moments of worsening.
Often it seems tech companies (and certainly many others) almost explicitly hire people with similar viewpoints--not merely accidentally arriving at homogeneity by way of socioeconomic strata, but by strongly broadcasting ideological statements.
If you have some credible evidence that human sources of CO2 have caused, are causing, or will cause significant warming, then trot it out. I've been waiting for such evidence for years.

By now you have a big problem: We have had in recent years a significant increase in CO2 but without a significant increase in temperature. So, we have good evidence that the warming effect of CO2 is tiny, too small to detect.
> As someone who works in full stack development, what complexities are you talking about exactly? I just spin up a NextJS app with an express server if I need a backend as well. In a way, it's been easier than before where you'd have to set up Webpack and friends.

Every time I read things like this I wonder if most people here are just building landing pages or side projects.

I've literally always had need for validations, background jobs, translations, authentication, authorization, migrations, orm/data libraries, CLI commands for maintenance tasks, etc, etc. "Just next.js and express" or "just next.js and prisma" is still missing a TON of stuff for me. Of course you can npm install 3000 other packages to achieve all of this, but that's a lot of work to get it right, documented, secured and battle proven.

>When 2 countries are at war, with active combat going on, is an act of terrorism possible?

"3 civilians killed by bomb in terrorist attack on bridge" is how we used to report ISIS doing the exact same thing.

Im not sure if a seat at the UN is the difference between this being a terrorist attack and a glorious act of bravery.
It also declared a right to an adequate standard of living and freedom from slavery, so I think it is not really enforced world-wide.
The alleged truck was traveling from Russia to Crimea, on the westbound side of the bridge. It was this side of the bridge that was sunk.
