A big reason why Gurgaon real estate is more expensive than Bangalore despite having way more land and poorer jobs is government corruption. All those bribes and backroom deals get siphoned off to buy apartments and land. These buyers can hold forever because their cost basis is practically 0.

I’m actively hunting for an apartment in NCR and get painfully reminded of how poor I actually am.
The reason why you think it happens less often is because the US declassifies its foreign activities after a long delay, at which point we have government admissions of what was done. Until then, we have only media reports that are labelled as conspiracy theories, etc.

But US was certainly behind a wave of color revolutions that just happened to occur in many of the former Soviet Republics and just happened to install pro-US governments that adopted anti-Russian policies (when successful). There is a whole book written about it:

https://www.routledge.com/The-Colour-Revolutions-in-the-Form...

The US was also behind the "Arab Spring" revolts that spread chaos to the Arab world (but not much democracy), as well as periodically stoking revolts in Iran. For some reason, there are a huge number of well armed foreign men murdering police in Iran in the name of women's rights, when Saudi Arabia or the other gulf states aren't exactly known for women's rights, but strangely have had no similar movements. I wonder why that is.

In Southeast Asia, the US is funding violent groups in Myanmar that have been killing school teachers, hospital employees, emergency workers, police, etc in an attempt to overthrow the junta and replace it with a government in exile that is headquartered in Virginia.

In Pakistan, the US is funding Baluchi rebels that have been attacking Chinese engineers working on belt and road projects, and recently tried to assassinate the Chinese Ambassador.

We overthrew the government of Ukraine twice, in 2004 and 2014, installing a repressive anti-Russian government in its place. We tried to overthrow the government of Kazakhstan and Byelorussia earlier.

Etc.

I was worried about sharing broadly and leaking info from 1 contact to another, but it seems like the Signal team did all the right things here.

When you create a story you can make it a group story or not.

If you do not make it a group story, reactions and replies to stories get sent to you over your 1:1 chats and not shared across other recipients of the story.

If you make it a group story, and share it with multiple groups each group receives their own copy of the story and replies and reactions can only be viewed by others in the same group.

After having been burned SO OFTEN by other social platforms embarrassingly notifying others when I did something I thought was a passive post, or leaking information from 1 of my subgroups with another I was very worried that would happen here, but great job signal team!

The only awkward part that I've noticed so far is if I have a contact in 2 groups that I create 2 group stories with, they now have 2 identical stories show up on their story board. It makes sense and I think the UI clearly indicates for which group replies and reactions to each story it would go to which is probably the safest (best?) solution, but I could see that getting a little annoying if I share multiple groups with a frequent story poster.

The idea is that you control it. You're presented with the place you stopped following the thread, and you can certainly skip to the new hotness if you like, but if you want the intervening context it's right there.

That "maybe obsolete" state is -your- reading state.
the accurate statement is that a small slice of India’s upper castes have control. They dominate many sectors but you seem to assume that caste and economic class are interchangeable. they are not although there is a strong correlation due to generational wealth.

> I've always found validation (?) in the deontological aspect of Kant's idealism because I think it neatly describes why people feel obligations to those they interact with most closely (i.e. I feed my child because I should, rather than to avoid his hunger).

It is interesting you bring up that example, because it connects with the moral universalism vs moral particularism debate: moral universalists argue that an essential component of a valid ethical principle is it must be universal in scope (equally applicable to everyone at all times), even though it may still produce quite different outcomes when applied to differing situations. Particularists claim
by contrast that one can have moral obligations which are non-universal in character - I owe special obligations to my children because they are mine, beyond those which I owe to children-in-general. Moral universalists have to either deny the existence of such particular obligations, or else insist that they are ultimately universal rather than particular in character. Anyway, the categorical imperative is a classic statement of moral universalism, yet you are invoking one of the favourite examples of moral particularists to support it.

Personally, I think the best way to defend the objectivity of morality is the “companions in the guilt” argument - for every argument that is put forward against the objectivity of morality, there is a closely parallel argument against the objectivity of (theoretical) rationality. If that’s true, then how is it not special pleading to grant objectivity to one yet deny it to the other?
This is surprisingly more common than I expected. Congratulations.

I do not think Google has a similar "tier" concept. It has a "recommended price", which is a conversion to the local currency maybe, but maybe not, taking into account PPP. But you can go in and override those prices if you want to make your product particularly cheap or more expensive in a random country.
I just noticed that it overlaps with „Practical Typography” (https://practicaltypography.com/) to a large extent. So much so that I’d consider them two flavours of the same book, rather than two separate ones.

The continued support for climate change consensus from new research is good to see, but is it having an effect on the final ~25% of Americans that haven't believed in it yet?

I can see you just trying to bait me into a non-productive debate, so I will say this.

I am not going to make any statement regarding whether or not financial crimes against known and convicted criminal enterprises should be deprioritized in relation to crimes against regular citizens.

In this case though, the "victim" has not existed for over 9 years and will never exist in the future, there are no ongoing victism, and there are no downstream victims to return restitution to.

I do not believe the justice department should be pursuing cases (cold or not) where the only goal is siezing (not recovering) assets for their own benefit.

IMO this guy demonstrated an incredible amount of personal integrity here. He likely could have made a lot of money by building this out, but decided not to because he knew it was wrong.

This is why we need more laws and government regulation: people that do the right thing like this are very rare. Typical incentive structures don't optimize for these types of people, so legal ones need to exist to limit the damage that the inevitable bad apples will do.
Unlimited greed. As if they needed this ad money.
I've had the same experience my entire life. That said, testing shows my hearing isn't great, but it's not horrible either. I even have an exceptional ability to identify actors solely by their voice when others can't identify them at all. I've often wondered if there is something else going on that runs deeper than just surface level "hearing". Like I'm hearing slower but more deeply.
Okay, well a lot of people actually live in the US.
It's been interesting to watch the Signal arc. From tech darling to "why do they think I want this" / "time to move on to what's next".

Yes. No computer of any sort, the alarm clock's only advanced technology is radio-synchronization and I don't even let a book enter the bedroom - that is for the living-room couch. Does wonder for sanctuarizing the late evening !
I rarely hear "technical debt" in the context of "let's incur some technical debt now so we can deliver this ticket quickly", it's rather "we can't deliver this ticket quickly now because somebody (usually somebody else) incurred technical debt" in the past.

If management is using it usually an attempt to shut discussion down in the context of (i) poor psychological safety on the part of devs because (ii) management doesn't trust anything the devs say because (iii) management knows that the devs are reading cargo-cult blog posts like "if this software was written in Haskell it wouldn't have any bugs".

I tend to agree. I'm inclined to appreciate the technology, yet at the same time I don't think I like it well enough to blow $60/each to replace all my can lights with Hues. I just run 2700K bulbs for almost every light in the house (excepting the garage & my workshop), and in some areas I make it very bright in lieu of going towards the blue end of the spectrum.

> Regardless, pouring boiling water out of a kettle is far less dangerous than pouring the cooked pasta + boiling water out of the pot and into a strainer.

I don't think this is true. The mechanics are essentially the same. But the colander receiving the pasta + boiling water is situated inside the sink, which will catch the water that is in that case intended to spill out.

The pot is situated on the stove, which is a raised platform that can't catch water at all. Any spill there will splash all over.

Get into a car accident, and want some blackbox data from your Tesla? Good luck - get ready for a lot of legal costs.

Get into a car accident, and it makes Tesla look bad? Tesla will hold press conferences and release your telemetry data to the media, whether you want them to or not. Exceptionally misleading data in some cases - one fatality collision where autopilot was being blamed, Tesla said "Woah, hold up. Not true. Driver was distracted. In fact, the car warned him to put his hands on the steering wheel before the collision!"

In reality, the car had issued -one- warning about the steering wheel, and none after that, and that one warning was -eighteen minutes- before the collision.
And that's why a ton of video lectures from UC Berkeley had to be taken down due to lack of captions.

Before writing a completely asinine comment like this, you might consider that I, having been paid real American dollars to design this language, might know more than you about the relationship between GATs and HKTs and the design of Rust as a whole.

Is this your lived experience? I am finding it hard to believe when the Prime Minister of India comes under what is classified as a "Backward" caste there. The President of India, Droupadi Murmu comes from a historically disadvantaged tribal background.

The political parties and political commentariat in India heavily emphasize Caste and other identitarian aspects as the building blocks of building a coalition rather than policy.

Political parties field candidates who belong to a particular ethnic community and pander to their sentiments to secure their votes. And the historically disadvantaged communities achieve representation in this manner.

While I agree that Caste is a major issue in the Indian society (with a lot of variance between regions and across social strata), saying that "backward" castes are denied political representation and agency is extremely dishonest.

Legal typography is persnickety and its own kind of weird. There are courts in the USA that have very specific rules, including odd paper dimensions and font sizes, that need to be observed when filing with them. To my knowledge these serve mainly as brown M&M clauses to ensure that the lawyers filing in these courts are paying attention.
I'm an 11th gen owner. I'm not happy. The fact that its upgradable is great, but that doesn't mean that the company should treat the most expensive component by a long shot as quickly disposable. A $500 disposable mainboard is 80% as bad as a disposable laptop.

Not OP, but in my jurisdiction the smart power meters broadcast consumption as SCM at 900MHz. rtlamr

does a good job of receiving and decoding those broadcasts using a cheap SDR. My local water utility also broadcasts consumption as SCM+, also 900MHz. I'm able to grab both with the single SDR.
Similar story here. 20 years ago I was a Windows user. I had no love for Windows, but I put up with it. I had never even considered buying a Mac because to me they were just overpriced dumbed down PCs for people who were not technical. I didn't know anything about them.

Then I bought an iPod with click wheel.

I fell in love with it from the minute I opened the packaging. It just felt like a device that a lot of care was put into. I loved holding it and it was a pleasure to use. It made me rethink Apple.

When it was time to buy a new laptop, I bought the 2006 black MacBook. I felt the same thing all over again, but now for my primary computing device. I loved OS X.

Fast forward to today and I also have a house full of Apple products. Just in my line of sight I have several Mac laptops, Magic Keyboard/touchpad, a few iPhones, an iPad, AirPods... over the years I've purchased dozens of Apple products. Not to mention my subscriptions to Apple TV+, iCloud Storage, Apple Music...

But Apple is increasingly a very different company than before. I now feel like they are nickel and diming me at every possible turn and it's no longer even subtle. When I picked up my iPhone 14 Pro at the Apple Store, I was in disbelief at how hard the Apple Employee tried to upsell Apple Care using hard sell scare tactics.

I doubt anything will ever change under Tim Cook. Maybe some day Scott Forstall will return in Jobs-like fashion and correct the company's course.
Life insurance often does but sometimes has a 2 year waiting period before it does. AD&D is a separate policy on top of life insurance, often worth an equal amount, which does not pay out in cases of suicide.

So masking a suicide can double payments to the family. AD&D also does not pay out in deaths involving toxic substances or “reckless driving”.
As an aside, if you use iOS, Banish will nuke those “open in app” popups. Costs one $2 payment, which I was more than happy to give to a dev working on a useful product. Works very well, and gets updated quickly when it doesn’t.

[4a] NameChar ::= NameStartChar | "-" | "." | [0-9] | #xB7 | [#x0300-#x036F] | [#x203F-#x2040]

[5] Name ::= NameStartChar (NameChar)*

Windows ce 6 phone? They haven’t been made since 2009, I believe. They topped out at 256meg of ram, if I remember correctly with the last models before everyone switched to Android 2 point something.

I find this video fascinating in how many topics Don is able to cover in just over 16 minutes, from time travel [paradoxes], to classism, romance, loss, thoughts about life and death, and the elimination of the human race. Combine this with the innocence of explaining factual details to a child who doesn't understand any of the concepts -- and an almost heartbreaking ending.
