Yes, that is true, some developed nations cities have disgusting pavements.

Still, that doesn’t compare to every report I heard from people I know personally that went to visit, or had to work, or has families/grow in our former colonies. The waste management is orders of magnitude worse.

Yes , people complain about Rome and SF streets, but those are nothing compared to the reports i’ve heard. It’s another circle of hell entirely.

And remember that most of the world population is from developing nations (well I guess it depends on how you classify china and india, but those are only starting to care about environment now, for the last decade their focus was rapid industrialization, which is the biggest crime to the environment)

Regarding “developed” vs “developing” categorization, I guess most people think about it differently, everyone has their bias and there’s lots of politics involved in the terms. But i would do the divide on whether sustainability/environment is one of the most constant political topics in the country, and most major political parties have to engage with it (to different levels). This means food and shelter are secure (even if prices are hard on people)
I know a lot of people dislike bitcoin here but I'm wondering (with the huge assumption that its value stabilises over time) would it not actually be a better solution? Not just from an obvious logistical but also from an environmental perspective? I'd imagine gold mining to be much more destructive (both to nature and to human life).
At some point in their history, the US unilaterally decided that any transaction occuring in dollars in any parts of the world was subject to US law.

In other words, they suddenly had granted themselves legitimacy to enforce US law anywhere on the planet as long as a single dollar changed hands.

As the US perceives itself as an empire, it makes complete sense from their POV.

But mayyybeeee, if you're in Ghana, you still cherish delusions of being a sovereign nation ...
yeah outside of meat, a lot of what we eat is like 50-70% water as well. Most people get plenty of water. I guess I'm not an r/hydrohomies :) . I drink plenty between coffee, water, veggies, and occasional soda. I have had long arguments with people that while you will tend to pee a bit more with coffee/tea/soda, it's still a -net- source of water rather a dehydrator. It's a hard sell to people
- Thousands of workers have died in the building process. I mean really FIFA?

- The cost of the carnival is over 200 billion usd (compare it for 0.5 billion in US 1994)

- Sexual minorities are persecuted in Qatar and FIFA completely downplays this, making the whole organization look ridiculously corrupt.

That should give you a headstart.

Of the actual app/site: Thanks, bookmarked! I also want to see the scores, but dont want anything else to do with this sh*tshow.
If you need hours to figure out if a log line is relevant or not, then you have much more important problems to take care of.

For example, if this is a log line for audit logging in an enterprise product then it's clearly relevant. If this is a trace log line in case you need to debug some minor issue, then that's a different story. Has nothing to do with zealotry, just common sense. If you don't understand that there is a difference between those two cases then the discussion ends for me here.
Of course it's not certain and 100%... i'm too lazy to find our local propaganda now, but when i got it, the numbers were in the rage of 96% efficacy (for not getting it and not transmitting it) with minimal chances of side effects.

But in my country (slovenia), at the height of pressure to get vaccinated, if you were a young girl/woman (15-24 age bracket), the "96%" from above turned to "you'll probably still get covid, you'll still spread it, if you do, not one girl in your age bracket died yet because of or even with covid, but one girl died due to the vaccine... but, if you don't take the vaccine, you'll have to get tested every 48 hours or you'll be unable to go to work (oh, no testing center in your village, and you're not allowed to take the bus to the closest test location without a test)".
Decriminalize drug use, thorough social services support, start treating drug-users as patients with an illness rather than criminals with a moral-failing.

This will probably require some decriminalization of drug sales. Just to get the drug-users out of constant contact with crime.
Splinter Cell is getting a radio adaptation?
Don't stores in Manhattan employ security guards? Most busy central London shops certainly do, at least at busy times of day. That seems to sufficiently deter shrinkage, without having to resort to lock boxes on the shelves.

Sometimes you'll see high-value items (like expensive bottles of alcohol) with security tags that need to be removed at checkout, but I don't recall seeing locked down shelves.
This. People seem very exercised about using the dollar specifically to buy oil, but .. currencies are fungible? You can trade them on international markets? Also, where does the gold come from? Is it just their central bank reserve?

No, it seems that Ghana is experiencing the classic forex problem of not being able to export enough valuable production in order to afford its imports, and it's very hard to reduce imports of fuel without drastic drops in either lifestyle or production capacity. And if you can't afford fuel to produce exports, then you have a death spiral.
In short, bad overly-generified design that they completely tore out in later Android updates, limiting emergency calls to OS handling only.
Again?! This is, like, the third or fourth time I’ve heard of Pixels not being able to call emergency services.
It definitely sounds to me more like a doxxing.txt
Ghana are not subject to sanctions?
Great work! Instead of faiss, you could use a standalone vector search engine like Qdrant https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant It would bring some advantages like, for example, filtering support.

> Simonovič presented the composition of the five-member commission, namely, three doctors (neurologist, infectologist and vascular specialist), a pharmacologist and Zoran Simonovič, a representative of the epidemiological profession. The commission reviewed the medical records of a 20-year-old patient who developed thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome following vaccination. The documentation included a treatment procedure as of the admission to the Clinical Department of Neurology in Ljubljana and a health record obtained from the patient’s personal doctor.

> The commission confirmed thrombosis with thrombocytopenia or vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia. All criteria were met for the fulfilment of the diagnosis. Upon examining the medical records before the vaccination, the commission established that no conditions had been identified in the patient that could indicate problems after vaccine administration. “The commission unanimously assessed that there was a direct link between the vaccination with Janssen Johnson & Johnson and the tragic complication, i.e. the onset of the syndrome”, said Simonovič.
Na... I am good bro. :o) I would have liked to discuss the topic but certainly not with you.
I joined Meta in 2021 remotely, but when my stock grants lost 50% their value overnight, I secretly started working for my previous company. Sorry Mark, it’s only fair this way!

I was pleasantly surprised that the pace of work at Meta was so slow that I was able to do one week’s worth of work in a day, and the rest of the time was spent waiting for various crap processes (for insiders: LAMAs, privacy reviews, design reviews, experiment plans, diff reviews from colleagues in other timezones etc.). In the end I still had so much free time on my hand that I actually took up a third gig as well, and still didn’t feel any burnout.

For me, overemployment is 100% the future. I don’t think it’s unethical if you’re a high performer in both (or all three) of your jobs, which I am (I received “exceeds expectations” in most categories on my Meta PSC).
Hetzner banned my account on day 2, lol. At least they didn't charge me for my server (that billing would have happened at the end of the month).

A friend of mine had the same experience with them.
So users who join Teams calls but refuse to login cannot call 911, and die. Seems in line with the general Teams ethos to be honest.
Russia's sanctions were as a result of their invasion of Ukraine and they'd still be a part of the normal financial system otherwise. It's nothing to do with petrodollars.

As a software engineer, docs are quite low in priority. You should be using a language that can do documentation, like Rust, Haskell or even TS if you must use JS.

If you are stuck with JavaScript you have to be careful since you might just make an API that is way more permissive than what you intended to do, or similarly if you are writing Java and need to consider what happens when concurrency happens etc.

If you are so sure that everything in crypto is worthless then bet on it. If you dont do that you are lying to yourself and you argent actually so sure.

Also utility tokens exist with actual use case not "crypto" as the product. You seem misinformed, its not 2015 anymore, big banks use crypto nowadays its not going away its gong to be regulated and become an essential part of the financial system.
Ok, that looks much more like simply another informational product sales funnel. I wouldn't expect a PR firm to setup (or lie about) affiliation with external company (https://we-connect.io/) and running generic ads from CafeMedia.

Bless 'Isaac' grift I guess. What's going on in the original page is unclear to me.
Nope, a Technical Artist will own the art pipeline and tools for artists as well as help produce specific pieces of art that need programming skills. They're an artist who can code or a coder who can make art. So they're using both talents to interface the artists to the game engine and runtimes.

In games a Product Manager doesn't really exist as a specific role generally and is distributed between the Production and Design teams.
It's absolutely Android's fault that it allows a buggy app to interfere with emergency calls, and Google agrees, given that in later Android versions they tore out the code that allowed anything but OS handling for emergency calls placed through the default phone app.
> Most Iranians nowadays believe that their country is being held hostage by Muslim clerics and needs to be liberated.

Thats a very strong statement. Most of the country, even half of the country would look very differently on the streets. I didn't notice 40+ millions protesting. Its probably some milder version of that - some protest, on top of that some are unhappy for X and Y (its enough to be pissed off about state of economy and freedom overall), some also for reasons you state and in population of 85 million even 1% is almost a million so easily visible if they gather in cities.

I would love to see Iranian regime change for the better since people there deserve it - I've met them, they are smart, cheerful, curious and on the ground its nothing like 24h news reels show. But if it ends up as another Syria, Lybia or any other arab spring then even current regime is a blessing in comparison and heaven compared to war torn hells of those places.
The Chinese Renminbi (Yuan) is a good candidate to quickly get on par with the USD.

If they manage it properly that is, as in: not print mountains of it, and not using it to enforce their political aims.

They're currently actively busy making the Renminbi reserve and default trading currency in much of Asia.

And, as a last resort, there's always Bitcoin and gold, although, as Ghana will discover (unless they make the mistake of using a 3rd-party custodian) gold is very tricky to move about.
> It's like you're subtly trying to highlight how terrible crypto is, but not realizing it.

If we're equating motorcylces to crypto, then as a motorcycle rider, I can assure you that motorcycles are amzing, not terrible.
> "Who wants to buy a $10 deodorant from a NYC CVS when you can buy the same thing for much cheaper online."

The reverse is usually true in the UK. Amazon is great for convenience, but most of the time, physical pharmacies and/or supermarkets are cheaper for these types of products. Not to mention discount stores like Poundland.

I love the spirit of the article, and heartily applaud it.

That said, I do realize that, for many folks (most of them, actually), money is the only metric that matters,

“But look at all the money I’m making!” or “Your project is a failure, because it doesn’t make money!” are frequent refrains, in tech.

For me, development of product is a craft, and a labor of love. It has to be good, because I can’t live with myself, if it’s not.

you posit "911 doesn't ring sometimes" ∈ "very scary issue with a phone", that's correct

title implies "911 doesn't ring sometimes" ∈ "very scary issue dialing 911", that is incorrect

frankly "doesn't ring" is probably the most routine issue that can happen when dialing a number

the comment you respond to responds to article title and posits "911 doesn't ring sometimes" ∉ "very scary issue dialing 911"
Apologies, but your reading of the situation is shallow.

What do you think led Vlad to invade?

The US has been mounting a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine for the past 20 years, one they're ready - barring political upheaval in the US - to fight down to the last European.
The answer is scale! For home stuff it has been 50/50 on time investment (including one of "the hardware I automated went up in smoke"), but for work stuff not putting that bit extra work almost always turned out to be wrong call.
we need more of this, the new devs I work with have no idea of how things work, they are very reliant on aws or some cloud service or even kubernetes and ready made containers.

I remember someone having trouble with kubernetes ingress controller, and it was so easy for me even with little knowledge of kubernetes, since I knew nginx and knew exactly how to exec into the container, go to the conf file and debug it.
If you look at the actual numbers, you'll find that USD dominance is still unchallenged.

BUT, there is definitely way more chatter about alternative payment options, including from well-placed government sources and central banks in important non-west allied countries.

It's now a matter of "when", not "if" when an alternative currency pops up, maybe a BRICS currency.
You know you've hit the cultural zeitgeist as an artist when people create work in your style and pretend to be you!

> Not to mention the lack of public transportation in most areas, so now you're creating more traffic.

That's a somewhat of a circular dependency, though, because public transport requires a certain amount of density in order to be viable.
Imagine how dystopian that would sound in humans, like some science fiction horror.

Well, (proper) cable testers are expensive and I'd imagine carrying that in "just in case" pocket is easier than whole gear to crimp and test the cable.

....you do test the cables you've crimped right ?
Stephen King has a similar few pages in his book On Writing. I really really love the short sentences + short paragraph style. One of the author that excels at that is Bukowski.

Musk and Diess were close, but as far as I know there was never any cooperation between the companies.
I'm only at the level of guessing for topics like this, but my guess is that a chain reaction is more likely to see a switch from USD to Renminbi than a switch to gold (or Euros).

China because of the potential assuming similar GDP/capita as the current USA.

Not soon because I expect as a prerequisite for change being the new winner's GDP to be dominant rather than just joint top 3 in a ranking system that changes their ordering depending on what you value most.

Not gold because the justifications given for why we all stopped using the gold standard in the fist place, still seem to apply.
I am familiar with different cycle, not sure what's the exact term for it in English - you start working somewhere, there are (easily) understandable requirements and let's say there is 5 of them.

Over time they add more and more requirements to achieve same result making your work more and more difficult instead of making it easier over time, so after 2 years you are away from 5 simple requirements now with 15 requirements, some of them difficult to comprehend, making you waste more nad more time to achieve same result as in the beginning.

When I see e-mail about changes and improvements I am always horrified, because in 99% situations it means new useless unhelpful steps wasting more of my time.
I think everyone is capable of reading well-written text or code. The problem comes when it’s not well written, in which case you’re in the real of reverse engineering. And most people are bad at RE.

> proxy war against Russia in Ukraine

To a certain extent this is true, but the Ukranians have been very keen on it as they've benefited from not being a puppet state run by a corrupt president who built himself a huge palace. And Russia has no right to be "in" Ukraine in the first place.
You can plug in cable without the tab just fine tho

It's less of "save a day" and more of "don't have to bring the replacement cable next time to fix it"

I think it’s a meme because the home brew author tweeted that he was rejected by Google for failing to invert a binary tree.
Unless Teams is abusing private APIs or acting in other nefarious ways, this is 1000% a problem with Android itself. It shouldn’t be possible to break emergency service call operation through normal usage (or even naive usage) of the public APIs on the system. To blame Teams here is completely backwards.

> OP is trying to just share something cool and fun, and now you come here making it political.

It is important to make it political. The stadiums where this WC is taking place were built by slaves. The host country rejects fundamental humanitarian values such as respect for sexual preferences. Innocent people who did nothing wrong to anyone else except loving someone from the same gender are hurt by them if they thinnk they can get away with it. All of this is deeply unfair and heartbreaking and it should not be overlooked in the name of "cool and fun", if you are to keep any pretense of basic decency.

Of course it is an Android problem.

You can disagree with it and blame the developers, but the fact is that DDD fails basically every time, unless physical boundaries stop you from failing. It's like saying a good driver won't have an accident on a sharp corner of an icy road, but yet you have a ton of accidents on that corner on an icy road. Facts are facts. Just as it's a fact you can't hope every organization to be staffed by 100% geniuses who never make a mistake.

Part of the problem is the platform itself.

Most mainstream languages today ALL support shared mutable state. Meaning you can hold a pointer or a handle to something, mutate it, and someone else having the same pointer or handle has it changed under their nose.

When you fetch, say, JSON over the network, the party who sent it to you can't change it under your nose either intentionally or accidentally. It's a snapshot of data you own, and you can make decisions on at your own leisure. Sure, the snapshot may get out of date by the time you send your next API request, but this contract is clear and obvious.

While the entangled meshes of mutable code in say C, C++, Java, Swift, Python, JS, etc. etc. often make the mess unavoidable.

Rust goes to some length to stop this problem, but it's a language that's low-level (by modern standards) and technical, and I don't think anyone uses it for enterprise automation exactly.

Another problem are nominal (vs. structural) type systems. Well I don't have to explain, but when you fetch JSON from an API a nominal type won't stop you from reading that data, you care about the structure.
The way I see it, this just moves the responsibility for safety to the manufacturers instead of the network. It's on the specific company then to provide adequate QA for their firmware before they release updates, or it reflects badly on them. This fiasco for example, tells me to never buy a Google phone since they apparently don't test their devices properly.

I'm not sure why it would be on the network to test devices anyway, it's not like every net card needs to be approved by ICANN or something. There should be standards to adhere to, if those are breached on either end, fines should follow.
