Since the tone is hyperbolic, it's hard to discern how much it has been exaggerated/misrepresented (I suspect a lot).

For example, for someone who describes themselves as:

> I have learnt German. I speak fluent German. I am German.

The following:

> To have the Steuerberater file your tax returns on your behalf, you have to grant them Power of Attorney, so that is another nice form for you to fill out. I could have signed away one of my kidneys for all I know. It’s in German.

is grossly misrepresented. Power of attorney forms are generally easy to understand. Here's a sample one: https://www.vollmacht-muster.de/diverse-vollmachten/vollmach.... Anybody who's fluent in German could read and understand it, certainly not mistaking it for signing a kidney away. For those who don't, forms like this can be discussed with an English-speaking accountant (and there are), no reason to fuss about.

EDIT: No doubt that Germany has an English language problem - a significant part of the 40/45+ y.o. population speaks it poorly, so bureaucracy is definitely a problem. This also applies to the south of Europe, though.

The funniest thing about TV Tropes is the realization while reading them that people can be categorized in real life by personality types and these roles we play are not entirely within our control. We've been conditioned to play them. Funny for me as an American because we've been simultaneously taught that we're individuals with the freedom to be who we want to be. Why do we end up playing well trodden roles? Is it because it's easier or do we not have free will? [1] [2] [3]

Microservices is too catchy name. It somehow implicitly means to people less complexity, but the reality is quite opposite. They should be called "a lot of little monoliths that we have to make always running and compatible with each other when updating" would reflect more appropriatelly what it is. Good analogy is replacing wheels for better ones while driving. In non microservice system you stop, change wheels and start driving again with new wheels. With microservices you need to do it while driving and it's going to be more complicated.

The problem if the dmca claim form is valid is the standard for take down, the court determines whose copyright claim is valid, not Google. And though they could argue the point, why argue a point that would have a detrimental effect for being wrong, and very little positive for being right?

But yes, I think the Dmca system is flawed greatly without a serious punishment for those who abuse it.

I have seen it with a Delaware company and checked out the process in Spain. I wouldn't call it much easier there.
You can no more rely on nuclear or coal generation for your electricity without back-up than you can on wind or solar. A nuclear plant in the US is off-line for 29 days a year on average according to the EIA. So you still need back-up for your "reliable" nuclear, unless you want people using candles for nearly a month a year.

All generation technologies are intermittent - they're just intermittent in different ways.

There's a story from years ago (I couldn't find it) about some government or legal documents having info redacted, but whoever did it just used some pdf editing tool to draw black boxes over the redacted parts, so all the info was still in the pdfs.

While I prefer native apps, I’m fine with electron and web apps as long as the ui is good to use and to look at.

Some electron apps are great to use, many have terrible UIs. But in my experience all Qt apps are ugly. I was wondering if Qt has been working on improving that.

> I think so, but I think the problem is that when you do `(size_t *) p` (or pointer arithmetic with that) then the compiler can assume that p points to something that is not just a char array, which allows it to do more optimizations (due to the undefined behavior rules).

For the sake of clarity, I'm going to call `(size_t *) p` "q" for the rest of this post.

Pointers usually have the type of what they point to. But pointers that are one past the end don't follow that rule. q-1 is a size_t, which means q is one past the end of an array containing one size_t. Therefore the existence of the q pointer does not tell the compiler what type actually exists at memory address p/q. Is it invalid to construct q from p? I wouldn't think so as long as they are in the same allocation, but maybe I'm forgetting a rule.

> I think in general it wouldn't, because structure members are not guaranteed to be contiguous

Surely there's a way to allocate two different types up against each other, though? Even if you don't make an actual struct, you can grab some char and say that X bytes are size_t and Y bytes are something else, can't you?

One thing that can help on these situations is to use the fact that these external companies (the one making the claim) have little to no interest in any conversation (even though in this case it appears they did reply, but with a generic template email).
You can send them an email saying that you made X change and giving them 7 days to review it, and then adding that "if they don't reply you will consider it solved". They will probably never reply (if they do you can try again or go to other methods) and so you now have the "ok" (by default) which you can send google, and since you have something to show (remember to send a copy of every email) they will probably revert it. After all you made a change, talked to the offending company, and didn't get a rejection. This is enough for google.
"[A] good man, though a slave, is free; but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves, not one man alone, but what is worse, as many masters as he has vices.” ― Augustine, "City of God"

“The first two facts which a healthy boy or girl feels about sex are these: first that it is beautiful and then that it is dangerous.” ― G.K. Chesterton

“I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning; and consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively with a problem in pure metaphysics. He is also concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do. For myself, as no doubt for most of my friends, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom. The supporters of this system claimed that it embodied the meaning - the Christian meaning, they insisted - of the world. There was one admirably simple method of confuting these people and justifying ourselves in our erotic revolt: we would deny that the world had any meaning whatever.” ― Aldous Huxley, "Ends and Means"

Whenever you meet someone promoting free love, look at whether they struggle with sex addiction or guilt over having done something sexually illicit. Margaret Mead serves as another example, now known for her fraudulent studies of Samoan sex life in which she claimed that free love is the state of nature. It turns out that Mead, too, had been having an adulterous affair.
You're comparing what exactly? The photos in the article with the girls you see on Instagram? The photos in the article have way too much contrast and everyone's expression seems a bit surprised.

I don't think enough generations have elapsed for any genetic differences. If anything, diet and lifestyle, but I think most likely it's fashion and makeup and comfort infront of a camera and cultural understandings of beauty.

It is apparently sold as an anti-aging supplement, which exacerbates the issue since those in the anti-aging interest group are also in the "old enough to be concerned about cancers" group.

As well, NR is plant derived, versus the other two types that tend to be animal derived. So I assume vegan vitamins would be a likely product range to use NR as B3. This already occurs with vegan Vitamin D, where D2 is plant-derived, and D3 is generally animal derived.

> People will often claim that since X is Free and Open Source Software, every user of X is enabled to hack on it and bend it to their will.

Does any one really say this?

Every user has the potential to hack on it if they’re willing to put in the time and effort to getting up to speed with the codebase but the license doesn’t guarantee that right.

In fact they generally provide it “as is” with no expressed or implied usefulness.

So no mandatory security audits, no mandatory documentation, no onboard team to help the junior-woodchuck devs, nada. If it breaks you get to keep both pieces and if you manage to fix it you might be liable to share your changes with the rest of the world, depending on licensing and what you’re doing with it.

Requirements which make the developers responsible for anything more than what they want to provide will just kill open source because they also have the freedom to not labor for free if they choose not to. If they have to get approval from The Commissar of Free Software before every upstream push, well, silly argument but it makes the point.

"Elon Musk was appointed the Chief Technology Officer..."

He created a web based company as early as 1995. In a three person startup one cannot become a CTO without writing code. So my bet is he understands something about http vs local calls.
Indeed, and beyond that, you are restricted from even DISCUSSING of SENDING any info to any party that is not authorized under the Joint Certification Program (JCP), and there are databases to check whether a person or program is authorized

It is sad to see all these upstream comments that are plainly ignorant and advocating either some ideal of free info exchange, or that it is not possible to contain the info because once it is in the commercial domain, everyone must have it.

While it is almost certain that there will be some leaks in almost any containment system, it is a massive fallacy to assume that therefore all efforts to contain tech transfer are futile. I've literally watched as likely agents from adversary nations attempted in public forums to get even mid-level tech info in my field. It all seemed very collegial until the source of the requests was noticed to be Iran and they were shut down.

Yes, this does often result in 'false positives' and restrict technology transfer to a harmless person. Maybe that guy really was just some student trying to learn (or, more likely, he was well funded and trying to get info for their drone program which is literally at this moment killing people in a democratic nation).

Too bad — the possible benefit isn't even in the same orders of magnitude from the potential harm. The expansionist authoritarian nations (Russia, Iran, China, NK, etc.) are literally waging war against the democracies of the world. We need to treat it as such. Yes, there are sincere colleagues behind those borders. The best we can do is to help them escape their awful governments. Helping them, and their awful governments advance only increases the risk that those awful governments will also rule us.

The company exists from the moment you decide to create it. [0]

This company is already an "entity" and can act accordingly. It can, for example, make contracts, hire, buy stuff and open a bank account. The main difference is that the owners are still liable. Liability only ends once the process has been completed.

In practice these processes happen concurrently. You call the notary to make an appointment and a bank to create an account. Then you show up at the bank first and the notary later and then afterwards submit the documents you received to the bank and you are done.

To me this seems neither complicated nor strange.

edit: I think you have a point about the timeframe. I can't remember this exactly, it may be that the bank account is completed after the notary. Nevertheless it just starts concurrently and the "i.G." exists from the very start, even before the notary. The process is concurrent and short and both the bank and notary will tell you whatever you need (except your company statute/contract which you need to draw up before or use a template). So I'm surprised the author found a need to do much by themselves.

What is your argument...? Are you admitting "being intermittent is bad," while ignoring Solar is intermittent like 70% of the time vs 10% of the time for Nuclear?

...great argument?

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=37252

doesn't seem like you interpreted this correctly, seems bad faith for sure.

> A scheduled shutdown of a nuclear power plant is generally timed to coincide with the plant’s refueling cycle. Nuclear power plants typically refuel every 18 to 24 months, often during the fall and spring when electricity demand is lower.

It's shut down every ~2 years, not "every year."

> _During the past six years, average refueling outages have become shorter, decreasing from an average of 46 days in 2012 to 34 days in 2018._

They're getting better and better.

So adjust the above 10% downtime number I gave, Nuclear is down ~3-5% of the time it sounds like. With improvements, this can probably get down to 1%. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

EDIT: not to mention this is an implementation problem. You can have multiple small reactors that never need maintenance where you just hot swap an old reactor for a new one.

Pseudoscience would be if breathing exercises didn’t have a significant effect on cortisol levels. But some randomised trials have proven that they do. If you apply an additional reason over the top of the breathing like the utterance of certain words that make it work or not, I’d agree with you. From personal experience having attended meditation classes when stressed out, I have found “omm ar humm” very effective in reaching a relaxed lower stress state. I didn’t know this was called box breathing to make the omm (in) arr (the pause held at the heart) and the humm (the outbreath) the same length. So that was a lesson for me. I have however experimented with different non religious words and found it effective in reaching that pleasant meditation very rapidly.
