Just like in my country, Ukraine.

However during the last years Ukraine is getting rid of corruption at an escape velocity and hopefully at that speed we will be able to be done with it within ten years or so.
This seems like nothing to do with 'starting a business', but simply obtaining planning permission for changing land use.

This is a notoriously difficult process in any developed nation, and is often even impossible, because the state has decided that a particular area should be dedicated to agriculture (the nation has to feed itself, etc).
OK, accepted.

Like everything in life, there is always a trade off.

We have a see-saw. One side has indignation, encouraging corruption at the level of one bribe, cost.
The other side has time, factory, jobs, and possibly more influence to change the system.

And from my experience, the people getting the bribe don't see it as unethical - it may even be their "salary". (Eg. Counselors don't get paid in many summer camps, they just get tips. Parents views the tips as extortion. Is it unethical to tip? No, but the whole system is corrupt and should be changed. /rant)

Assuming that system is built this way (so the risk of paying the bribe is nominal), and you have the resources to pay it, it is the cost of doing business. It is unfortunate, but I do not understand why the cost is not worth it.
It was the world's first pyramid scheme.
I once worked for a large telco, and we wanted to run an Elasticsearch cluster to do some data analysis. Unfortunately, we worked in the wrong part of the organisation so we weren't allowed to buy servers :(

However, we knew someone in the building opposite who was responsible for the company's streaming TV service. They were retiring a whole bunch of CDN machines, similar to these, which had a crazy amount of storage per node.

While we weren't allowed to buy servers, we were allowed to buy components, so I got a bunch of the retired servers and bought enough RAM to max them out.

Made a lovely ES cluster :)
So it is a "tip" for quality of service.

> Why buy an expensive fur if somebody is just going to ruin it with paint or, worse, you just look like an asshole wearing it?

Why buy an expensive tablet made of nasty coltan if a brat is just going to assault you and jump over it?, oh wait... in fact they don't do it.

This hypocrites bully grandmas "in the name of ecology" while using all the time products made of materials that destroy the African rainforests and must be replaced each five years occupying entire landfills, and never think twice about it.

And in their totalitarian utopia we all wear plastic replacements. Of course plastic fur is super-ecological. Have you heard of the problem with particles of "micro-leather" or "micro-fox-hair" polluting the oceans for decades?. Me neither.

They are directly responsible of the death of animals and plants. Ruined clothes that would last an entire life otherwise, have now to be replaced at a much faster pace and hidden from sight, so more small carnivores will die for the children paint.

They liberate chimps in the zoos with the results that the chimps must be shoot and killed by the same people that cared for them for years. Great job lads!. This animals could have a long quiet life. Save the chimps! under soil

They blocked fixing the American grey squirrel invasion in Italy when it was possible. Grey is a squirrel species know for eating complete rings of bark and killing entire branches. Now the grey squirrels are killing the young trees and also propagating a virus that kills the native red squirrels. They were told before by the zoologists that the squirrels would be a problem. They just don't care.

They did the same when the first racoons invaded Japan in 90's. Now the rampant coons cause millionaire damages in agriculture, threaten japanese unique biodiversity and scratch and urinate over 800 years old japanese temples damaging invaluable cultural artifacts. They were warned about it. Stupid, stupid people.

They liberate alien carnivores that kill millions of birds. They never apologize by this, or showed the slightest sign of remorse.

In resume, they are poison for a sensible ecological management and always take the wrong side in terms of nature conservation. This is what happens when you put toddlers to do surgery.

But of course the rest of people are not moral enough and not saint enough. Not like them.
Do they actually pay out tho? I keep hearing security researchers having difficulty getting these bounties, seems like a great business strategy out source security audits, offer massive pay outs looks good, don't pay out and keep the pot growing larger to look even better.
Because rich text in general is just a minefield.

Just get into copy pasting stuff from word to some browser rich text field - people will expect it works flawlessly but I know it will break in dozen different ways.

Problem is not with markdown - problem is with rich text in general.

Markdown is useful as it limits the options to make stuff easier. Argument that you need post process it to be useful is not that good - because that is the point of markdown you have "raw" data that is easy to post process any way you want. If you need some really fancy embeds and changes then maybe it is just not the right tool?

I don't use tables in markdown (besides maybe 3-rows 3-columns) but if you need more you probably should just stick with word/excel. I don't see a way to make tables in ASCII/UTF that would not suck.
I was reading "The Collapse of Complex Societies," and at some point the author states that complexity is correlated with (skill) specialization...

There is nothing wrong with having specialized skills, but blindly believing that those skills will stay relevant forever is risky. And it's easy to fall into that trap when you find yourself an echo chamber of like-minded specialists.

"Brian, lizard, come to our guild; we are all cool here, stop that silliness of keeping your eggs in your belly until they hatch. An asteroid is coming? Nah lizard, our guild is insured, full coverage, we will be fine, the market for the stomping trees skill-set is booming!"

> the "company stamps" that are required for everything you do with your business

We had that craze in Poland, but somehow managed to slowly crawl out of it over the last 20 years. It was a slow and painful process: even when the laws were changed not to require stamps, many places would ask for them and you would have to explain that your company stamp doesn't exist, so you can't place one on the form.

It's one of those bureaucratic viruses of the mind. We're lucky to have gotten rid of it, but there are others! Examples are "fill your forms with a BLUE pen" (supposedly because it looks less "photocopied"?), "sign legibly" (I never know if I'm supposed to use my signature or sign my name), "your national ID card number" (it's idiotic to ask for one, as it changes if you lose your ID and get a new one). There was also a period where every company would photocopy your ID (for example when signing up for a cellular plan), until the government stepped in and declared it illegal.

Bureaucracy is like barnacles on a ship: you have to constantly fight the growth.
> Yes, you need to obtain “permission” before you build any manufacturing structure on your own land with your own money.

Are there any countries where this isn't true? Where you can just build whatever you want on your own land with your own money?
Particularly if you consider the on-ramp to corruption: being a little more lenient and helpful to those who are more polite than others blends into being a little more lenient and helpful to those who you consider "on your team" blends into blends into being a little more lenient and helpful to those who give favors in return blends into being a little more lenient and helpful to those who offer cash. Only then the artificial roadblocks begin. Fully developed corruption would likely find ways to continue after digitalization, but the ramp to get there would be so much less inviting.

> I have been so focused on patent searches

Okay, you just shot yourself in the foot!

There is a reason a third party is used for patent legalese, because it is fraught with these types of landmines. It is advised that an innovator should not do patent searches to avoid getting into tricky situations afterwards in case someone challenges her/his patent.
> It is this kind of militant mentality which is why so many people roll their eyes

But, you know, you're the one who selected a lifestyle where you value your muscles above life of innocent beings, above the future of the nature and cause immense suffering with every meal you take.

A minister of finance that took upon himself to break all the (huge) monopolies [the country had one phone company, one bus company, one electric provider, etc. These were broken apart one at a time.], to reform the corruption, etc.

He made plenty of enemies along the way, but somehow managed to keep on punching. And it truly is much better for everyone.
Interested in DJing? Or vinyl? Starting with vinyl is expensive, even if you just get Serato or something.

I recommend a small DJ controller. It has everything included. You don't need all the fancy features to learn the basics. As long as he eventually learns to avoid the sync button, he'll be able to transfer the skills to most digital setups with ease.

Vinyl is different, and there's really no emulating it. If he can mix without syncing or visual cues (such as the transient indicator on most digital setup, where you can match the peaks of the track) and do it entirely by ear, that gets him most of the way to vinyl mixing.

The other half of vinyl mixing is actually the vinyl aspect. Drifting the tracks is different than you'd do it on CDJs, and it's different if you're on a belt driven turntable (which you shouldn't use for DJing anyway) or direct drive. That needs a bit of practice regardless of actual mixing skill.

But the core concepts are the same. As long as it has the faders, the low/mid/high knobs and gain, he can learn most of what he needs.

I started on a single Stanton CDJ, a cheap Behringer mixer, and Virtual DJ on the other "deck" that I pirated. I'd mix a track in, mix out the previous one, then transfer the track to the other deck and mix again. All of the actual adjustments were solely on the CDJ. It taught me enough to really warrant a real second deck later on.

I've gone on to play clubs in several countries, if that matters. Learning the basics can be done on even the most budget of setups (in fact, you might even be better off).

Hope that helps!

Submitted title:

> Container queries are finally real

Actual article title:

> CSS Container Queries

And the reality of the matter: you should not depend on container queries on public internet things yet, because Chrome has had them for less than two months, Safari for a month and a half, and Firefox hasn’t got them yet (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1744221, and it looks still some way off)—and it won’t have percolated through to half the common other mobile browsers, either. Try again maybe early 2024. (In all this, I say depend, because progressive enhancements are always fair game, if you weigh things in the balance and ensure it all still works acceptably without it.)
I would recommend Native Instruments Traktor.

The S2 or S4 are both great controllers at entry level price. They aren't standalone, so you will also need a Laptop.

Numark mixers are OK, however the cheaper entry level mixers are basically midi controllers and do not include a headphone output for queing songs.

Vinyl is great, but also quite expensive and hard to learn. Best to learn on a digital system first.
To my knowledge, Japan's Yakuza used to be highly involved with the government. That's basically just a rumor though. I don't have any details. The rumor also says that this is no longer really the case anymore.
I think for most DRM they are stored and distributed pre-encrypted. Encryption isn't performed on these servers, they just shove bytes out.
I think there's a lot of truth to this. I'm new to ML, still going through the ropes on some online courses, but already I can see that, once I get a bit of muscle memory in setting up models etc, there's a whole lot of power and efficiency to be unlocked by using simple models - specifically in CS/X and Marketing. Obviously model quality matters, so you have to have proper monitoring etc, but this stuff is low hanging fruit and should enable teams to be so much more efficient.

I’m a mostly happy iOS user but it’s exactly the same with Android. You connect to your Google Account and everything is back exactly as it was.

I think US users don’t realise how close to each other Android and iOS actually are especially if you use a Pixel phone. I switched because of the Apple Watch which had no equivalent.
They can literally send custom firmware to the device. It is their device, not yours, and they can do whatever they want with it.

Since most people think like that, things don't change and everybody is miserable. Cudos to the author for not accepting this rampant corruption.

If that's really what you think the authors motivation is then you may have missed the point of the article.
Paying for a lifetime pass is worth it if you a regular user.
A bureaucratic system selects for people who are good at that kind of process. Unsurprisingly, they aren't too eager to change the environment they thrive in.
Watching people try to jam non-Americans into American racial categories produces ridiculous results. Saudis are Arab, and (more importantly in practice) Sunni Muslim.

We don't have time to wait until lab based proteins exists, it may take decades until we have the technology and until it spreads through whole world.

Tons of similar technology is designed to simply look fancy and movie-like and the whole point is to justify hefty price tags.

>It’s barely a spec

Which is fitting. It evolved long before the term 'markdown' itself existed, a practice having been used in email and usenet and BBSes for many years before. The 'spec' is just trying to codify the already-existing usage, which evolved organically in many different areas by many different people.

>You need to use a WYSIWYG tool or you don’t use it.

No, no you absolutely don't. Almost no one uses a WYSIWYG for markdown. That would completely negate the point.

>anyone who writes Markdown regularly using a WYSIWYG editor or an IDE already, so the whole ‘plain text’ thing doesn’t matter.

Probably 99% wrong. I've never met anyone that chose to make things more difficult for themselves by using a clunky WYSIWYG instead of just typing the markdown in a text editor. Sometimes that's an IDE, but that's beside the point. Plain text does matter.

>Markdown will never get beyond developers.

Gonna have to go way back in time and alter history in order to change that. Like, before HTML or the web. It was used by everyone, certainly not just developers.

I thought this must've been written by someone very young who never even saw the internet or tech until a few years ago. Yet the author claims to have become a programmer in the mid-1990s and somehow still doesn't understand the concept of plain text or how the internet developed, and how markdown came about - that is a little baffling.
In addition to this, and for those who live in places where this isn't feasible, I recommend some serious thought into the amount of meat consumption. I tried the vegetarianism thing, and basically felt awful the entire time. I don't know why, but I found I just needed some read meat every now and again. However, I learned I only needed a small fraction of what I had before. I end up consuming a moderate portion once a week opposed to one a day and an able to supplement the rest.
