If they ran the standard 4 wire cable one of the wires will be a grounding wire that goes back to the panel. The panel should already have an earth ground and grounding rod(s). Adding a second grounding rod anywhere else would violate code in most states and potentially create a grounding loop and fire hazard.

To correctly add more grounding rods in multiple locations would require a common ground bus where all grounding rods are inter-connected to an oversized grounding bus cable or bus bar that is independent of the circuit panel wiring. This is rare to find in a home however. This is more common in industrial buildings that have high power and high voltage equipment. In this setup every grounding rod has to be independently tested with a megger prior to being connected to the bus.

Weird decision. I am in Germany and no one cares about Covid anymore. I don't think we will have super strict covid measures this winter.
I think they mean "at scale" to refer to a large number of users. Any service with a significantly large number of users is going to have a lot of people with limited technical aptitude that can't setup 2FA, lose access when changing their phones, etc.

> People doing frontend dev don't want to bother with slow compile time or 3 strings implementation.

As someone doing both, my frontend JS/react pipeline has noticeably longer compile times (both to build locally, and for users rendering client-side) than my server-side one.

> There is a reason why JS was invented.

JS isn't here because it's "fast". JS is here because it shipped in browsers, and browsers were popular. JS got fast, after lots of people put a ton of effort into their JS implementations for almost two decades straight to make it so.

(See https://blog.mozilla.org/javascript/2012/12/04/arewefastyet-... from ten years ago as just one of many, many examples)
Just speculating, what about causing a sudden increase in pressure, like a water hammer, but with gas? Any chance of that causing it to fail?
It depends on the risk. Sometimes shutting down vulnerable servers is not worth it.

Do you not understand Nature does not operate on the same timescales as humanity?

Do you realize that place's entire existence is predicated on a massive logistical network that if left untrnded for a week would likely result in a completely inhospitable environment for the residents?

Civilization as we know it is excruciatingly fragile, and maintained by active expenditure of human energy. Nature, is self'sustaining, closed loop, enthalpy decreasing and Just Frigging Works. It just may take a while for us to see/realize something that makes it click that, wow, nature finds a way.

I'd think the modern hiccups in the supply chain recently would have provided sufficient examples of how fragile the entire artifice is...

Also to shift European dependence away from Russian gas and on to American LNG.
Both pipelines were not operating for a while. They’d be helpful after the war to get gas as reparations though.
No, it's kinda weird.

Such an overpressure would have been detected (and in the worst case, mitigated by flaring or outright venting) at the German entry points of NordStream 1 and 2. No anomalies were recorded, which completely debunks that theory.

The truth is, people using Firefox just to 'stick it to the big bad corpo' is getting us nowhere. Firefox is losing not because of Chrome but because of its own incompetence or inability to keep the users happy.

Firefox is losing userbase a lot faster than some other browsers are gaining it, is that Firefox users' fault or Firefox's?

I use Firefox because I think the sync service it provides is great and that some of the customization is unmatched, not because I think I'm some soldier fighting the Chromium monopoly.
Probably more so by "hodling" instead of immediately selling to buy more hardware, or selling half for hardware and holding the other half to split the risk between the two option.

> Western leaders have stopped short of directly accusing Russia

I'm going to stop short of directly accusing anyone, but I will say that any motive for Russia to eliminate their economic leverage against a powerful NATO nation escapes me, whereas eliminating that leverage is in the apparent interest of every NATO member nation that wants to see Russia weakened, except Germany. Accusing Russia of this particular act of destruction doesn't make any sense.

"Addressing these gaps in life expectancy would require the U.S. to overhaul its health care system and make it work for everyone, many experts say."

Are they even listening to what they, themselves, are saying?

Yes, healthcare reforms can help. The economic gaps they previously mentioned are still going to be a problem. It doesn't matter if you have totally free healthcare if you lack any hope for your economic situation. That's where the substance abuse (liver disease, OD, etc), suicide, and other self destructive behaviors are still a problem. Ostensibly, the Healthcare reforms would have the least impact on the overall issue since Medicaid and Medicare are available to Native Americans already, and covid mortality is skewed to the older populations who are eligible for these programs already (although sign-up and other administrative issues may exists).
Counter argument: is it actually worth getting this upset over themes?

Yes, the marketing behind it is stupid because it attempts to correlate some deeper symbolic meaning to the act of choosing colors for your web browser.

The long-lost words that perfectly describe your feelings
Before social media did anyone read every book ever published? Did anyone read all the rejected manuscripts to avoid the censorious hand of the publishing houses? Of course not, we accepted that someone (editors) were doing some first pass quality check and even then we pick what areas are interesting.

There's two related but distinct problems: the moderation problem and the village idiots problem[0]. Polarization _can_ come from moderation, but there's also a whole debate to be had about what is driving what. For example: Alex Jones' whole saga has been spun by some as "being punished for conservative beliefs", so yeah, I guess if he's a conservative then him being pushed off social might cause polarization. BUT I think it's important to note that 10 years ago if you said Jones was a conservative, almost _all_ conservatives would have said something "the interdimensional vampire guy? Don't lump us in with that crazy bastard". During the intervening years right wing leaders have increasingly signaled that Jones is one of theirs. That was a top down series of decisions more than social media's impact. In order to believe that "your team" is being punished you already had to believe that Jones was on your team. If the statement "Alex Jones is on my team and I'm on a mainstream political team" is true, then you're _already_ polarized. The moderation might make it worse but something severely fucked up has already happened.

The (potentially violent) extremism, though, is really about the idiots getting together and self reinforcing (for example incel groups periodically spinning out a mass shooter). Moderation isn't really going to impact the second problem since when they get booted from one platform they migrate to a less moderated one or spin up their own.

> but didn't we just invent complex numbers because they are useful?

Not any more than we invented natural numbers because they are useful.

There are several ways to naturally derive complex numbers, either from mathematics or from physics.

For one, complex numbers are probably the simplest possible extension of the real numbers in which all real-valued polynomials have roots (for example, x^2 + 1 doesn't have a root if x has to be real). This is the same reason why the non-transcendental irrational numbers were invented (such as sqrt(2) ).

(Incidentally, the transcendental numbers (pi, e) are less justified than the complex numbers from this point of view - any polynomial of any rank whose coefficients are non-transcendental real numbers has roots that are either real non-transcendental numbers, or a complex number whose real and imaginary parts are real non-transcendental numbers )

For a physical explanation, complex numbers are the best way we know of describing wave mechanics (either classical or quantum), and in general periodic phenomena and how they compose.
I also chip in :) Librewolf eally saved my bacon on this old laptop I keep flogging into the future.
The thing about motivations is that there's also the possibility of one party doing this just to have the blame put on another party.
That would not signal readiness to do really expensive things.
This wasn't done because of conflicts between the Kremlin and NATO, it was because of the conflict within the Kremlin. Wealthy Russians may have thought things could go "back to normal" if they quickly end the war (through diplomacy, coups, or violence) they can go back to making money. This is Putin sending a signal, "you're going down with me".

I do not feel I can assure you this is correct but -v ending is literally what is written in Russian.

Correctness in surnames is not an easy topic. An exapmle with not Russian surname: half of world pronounce Noam Chomsky as "Khomsky" and another half as "Chomsky". Maybe he wants himself to be written as Markoff, I do not know exactly, but from my understanding his wanting must be kind of an ultimate source of truthness in this question. For example, some Vladimirs (a common Russian name) really want their names to be written as Wladimir, despite a "correct" transcript for this name is V-.

So should a phone number be required or not when ordering something? It's commonly used to text delivery times etc. Or what about a contact form where you're given the option of a call back.

Or what about if it's a government form and they're legally required to ask race, gender etc, but you aren't required to answer.

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but you very quickly run in to situations where you need optionality. It's like making apps easy to use by having no options. Great in theory but annoying in practice.
Every place has barbarism. But the kind and degree matter. There isn’t an equivalence between what, say, China or Qatar are like and the (terrible) practices of, say, the US. And even if there were, tu quoque doesn’t add anything to the discussion.
Maybe. This town seemed to be very remote. It may be that road transport back to an area where the cars could be sold was not feasible.

Edit: Playing around on Google Maps, I was unable to find a driving route from the city in the article to any other major cities in the region. I think there may not be any car bridges and transport to the city may only be practicable by rail.
One of the classic examples of an "optional" field is "Address line 2" - many people just have 123 Main Street, but some people need place to put Apt, Suite, Care of, etc.
The point is to remove a direct source of gas. Just because there is an indirect source doesn't mean it's reliable or a full replacement; leverage can be exerted on those transit countries just as easily, or those countries may, on their own, decide to join Russia's economic sphere of influence.

Have you read Greg Egan's "Permutation City"? Of course you have.

Second part. When they were manipulating the artificial universe from "outside".

They worked from just beyond the edge of the universe (its "event horizon") and cajoled the rare molecule into hooking up with its neighbors just so. Thus crafting complex apparatus... and thus an invasion robot was produced.
In that case I misunderstood you. Sure, we can’t always know all tracking details of closed source software, or even open source software with telemetry or some other tracking enabled.

The developer could be using harvested data for monetization. Or not. That’s a bit too speculative and borderline conspiratorial to be discussing.

I released free software myself, my friends have done the same - without any user tracking or ads. So anecdotally I can tell with confidence that free software does exist. Is all free software really free (as in not monetized by the developer in some hidden way)? No, not all.

How does egui interact with screen readers and other accessibility APIs?
This is the big problem. There are a lot of us, working in this industry, that believe in the technology, but aren't trying to make it into a cash-cow, consume-everything, replicate-the-rent-seeking-of-the-real-world-NFT-real-estate ecosystem. We're trying to make tools that improve on the work that people are already doing, seeing good results with our users, and then Zuckerberg comes along sucks all the air out of the room.

I'd be completely fine with a Zuckerberg-less VR market that took 5x longer to reach mass market appeal. I think it's good to build the tech quietly, only extend it into areas where it makes sense with each advancement, and not try to shove My First Multiplayer Unity Project out on everyone like they've done with Horizons.
"access to read, delete or change all content on the phone"... I would think if Android allows an app ability to do that then that's a huge security hole.
Yes, Russia is not prepared to do expensive things in the middle of a billion dollar a day invasion.
Is that research done? I don't think that's an accurate description of gain-of-function research; I thought it was more focused than "just throw everything in a beaker and see what happens." I agree that's a bad idea.
I have a real-world codebase of considerable complexity in both BE & FE code where I work. Our Rust compile time, across all targets we build (which includes a lot of tooling that's not really "backend", but we compile all the Rust together, so…) is 7m47s. Our FE build time was ~20m (and is part of our CI's critical path).

> it doesn't sound like they ever really had a direct talk with their boss.

Sure, but why? Why wouldn't you have a direct, honest conversation with your manager?

I'll tell you why.

Because it can be terrifying.

You don't know how they will react, whether you'll be forced off interesting projects, put at the top of the layoff list, or similar. You can watch how they handle other situations and get an inkling, but you don't know.

Good bosses won't react like that and there are many good bosses out there who want you to grow and will work with you to achieve your goals. But there are plenty of bad bosses too.

From this perspective, it's a lot easier to just pack it in, write off the boss and company, and find a new job. It's less satisfying, to be sure, but less terrifying.

It's taken me a long time to realize how important it is to have a boss you can have a direct conversation with. It's also a factor of my experience and knowledge of my self-worth too.

If I were a new developer in my first job, it'd be a lot harder to have a tough conversation with my boss, because my alternatives would be fewer.

Nobody suggested their opportunities are being curtailed by being

But their opportunities are limited, which leads to infantile acting

Sometimes ones opportunities are constrained by social factors. Like

Is this a new way of saying that they use Webkit?
Yes and no, both. That really depends on what government and what control.

But anyway, the amount of value you can provide there is severely limited, as you can only at most undo the value your government is destroying. You can't ever get in a better situation than what you would get with a competent liberal-ish government and no cryptomoney.

That means some business can exist there, and a small amount of it can even be morally acceptable. But it is completely different from the internet boom.
I sort of agree. Jobs usually have aspects that seem unrewarding. But if you spend most of your time cleaning break rooms then it doesn't let you grow the type of skills needed to land a SWE salary at the next place.
