I've always wanted to do this trail! How was it - honestly? I delved deep into one bagging a few years ago which brought me to ultralight groups/blogs, and this is the one trail that always just seems so... hard, but freaking cool.
Not just the 3rd world (assuming you mean developing world, not the non-aligned movement). Ireland's national health service allowed the (already prevalent) use of WhatsApp during the pandemic (and which helped save it when internal email was taken down for months alongside almost all other IT services due to a ransomware attack). Now non-clinical comms is dominated by WhatsApp and the service would literally halt without it.

I suspect the notability here comes less from the volume of employees, and more from Citizen's notoriety.

(Blackrock is perhaps equally deserving of notoriety, but as a practical matter lacks it in this context.)
Why isn't a single example of an unjust ban that they refuse to overturn when it trends publicly good enough?
CHP also said it was in FSD mode.
Linkedin says 172 employees. There are also 14 job postings for mostly senior roles.
People lie about having FSD enabled all the time. And the internet loves shitting on Tesla so they'll treat unverified claims as fact and then perpetuate it forever as long as it fits their narrative.
The Financial Times had an interesting, and more optimistic, take on this a few months ago:

Is US Industrial Policy Undergoing Japanification? - https://www.ft.com/content/5c2f8bd2-e586-435c-9a0c-2ec165521... (archive.today: https://archive.is/ZGTxl )

The author makes the point that by adopting protectionism to subsidize new or ailing domestic industries that politicians and their voters or donors favor, the US is doing what it accused Japan of doing for many years. But he says there is a contrast: Japan was always looking for an economic advantage in its industrial policy, while the US approach is not mainly about creating/saving jobs but about resisting a particular rival and potential enemy, China, and is targeted to that end.

The implication is despite the apparent irony of hypocrisy, the United States is not actually turning its back on free trade, forever or in every context.
Pretty "typical" of what I expect of a saas marketing page, but that is to say very good.

You act like "moving fast" is all you need to know to "move fast". As if it's simply the skill of making time move faster, and you don't need any other skills than that, because once you've broken the laws of physics and changed the speed of time, everything just works faster without any differences or consequences. Do you watch a lot of Superhero movies?

You should work smarter, not harder. Just turn up your smart knob. But why didn't you ever think of that before? Probably because you had your smart knob turned all the way down.
If I didn’t have to work I’d be breeding rare pigeon and growing rare plants. Possibly take up watch making as a hobby. But that’s not the question you really asked haha.. I have too many side project ideas, but not many that really mean a lot to me on a personal level. If the latter doesn’t matter much, just look at what tools you use and think on how you could do a better job. What is your real goal? To make money? If so, building alone won’t get you far. There are a lot of “boring” tasks you need to do or outsource to achieve that. If making money isn’t that important it makes it a lot easier. Stick to what you enjoy.

Because there's no longer a Soviet Union posing an existential threat to America, so why should we keep underwriting it? Target resources to address the threats of today, like China, rather than the threats of forty years ago.
Trump more politically aligned in a anti globalist and pro protectionist way. It's Biden who aligns more with the "free markets and global economy" position where this article would service to chide rather than encourage.

"This is dangerous for globalism" would be taken as a "keep going!" to a Trump supporter.
Terraform isn't for deploying infrastructure, it's for _converging_ infrastructure onto a desired state. Good luck writing a bash script that can deploy hundreds of different, dependent IaaS resources and deal with any or all of the resources initially being misconfigured or missing.

Treating the short term adjustment effects of a new rule as the same as the eventual steady state impact of the rule makes arguments against new rules seem deceptive and misleading
As someone who only needs raw CPU single-thread power when waiting for an executable to link (while using a stock linker for rust and taking a release build takes minutes, which is not much time but also a lot of time), I wonder whether I should go with the new M2 Max's or build a desktop computer (%99 of the time, I will be sitting my desk) with these shiny CPUs to get the most single-thread power (the parallelization does not really help in my workloads [esp compiler stuff, since everything is pretty much incremental and once I take the first build then it is only linking]).
And literally ∞ up since its release.
The hope was that economic integration would lead to less conflict, but the Russian invasion has proved that to be misguided. The West couldn't imagine Russia doing something so self destructive, but it doesn't have the mindset of authoritarians who do not act entirely rationally, or at least convince themselves of nonsense.

What's really killed globalisation is the realization that in the absence of the self-correcting tendencies of democracy you end up arming your adversaries. Russia has absolutely no qualms about using decades of hydrocarbon sales to try to smite the West. China is an even worse danger as they are actively positioning themselves as being essential to the world economy, but not being dependent on it. Their "unlimited friendship" with Russia is part of that given that Russia can provide critical oil and gas that China cannot produce themselves.
Definitely still work
Even if we all agree that free trade and free markets lead to the most growth, we still have to deal with the externalities that a free market will always fail to solve for; climate change, extreme poverty, etc. Maximum growth is not the end goal, better lives for people on the planet is the goal. Growth helps, but we have other needs, too.

I'd wager closer to 80-100%. They were $2-$3 last year. Now they are $4-$6. Where do people get this data from? Can't be actually going to the supermarket and writing down a price...
Because the seller of those eggs can raise prices while they are (at least for now) in possession of an item which has excess demand relative to supply. You could look at this as compensation for early adoption of tighter regulations, as a natural variation in the prospects of their business, or as evil price-gouging. Which you choose to focus on is a choice that will vary from person to person.

> "Rare-earths" are not, incidentally, needed for electric vehicles, wind turbines, or solar panels, however much certain people wish they were, or confidently claim.

What exactly does this mean? EVs use a ton more rare earth minerals than conventional cars

Solar panels use silicon, indium, gallium, selenium, cadmium, and tellurium. Neodymium and dysprosium are mainly used in the permanent magnets of offshore wind turbines

The Economist has been pushing some of the most ridiculous propaganda of late.

Not really surprising considering it is owned by a few European old-money families, who stand to lose tremendously from an Asia-centric multipolar world order.
This came up a lot in my criminology program in university. Criminologists (especially students) spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about how to kill people and get away with it. General consensus is with a car.

The crazy part is that whether or not you knew the person you ran over in your car can factor heavily into charges and sentencing.

Camera technology is so ubiquitous now that an unknown can create content on a shoestring budget. It's now more about gumption and talent instead of gumption, talent, and having enough money to rent professional equipment.

I can remember an indie film shot on a digital SLR camera with a $6,000 budget picking up festival awards a decade ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battery_(2012_film)

Of course, everyone having access doesn't make everyone's content good, but Spielberg got started with a Super 8 camera in his teens.
Apparently the reason the price of eggs is so high is because A LOT of chickens had to be destroyed this year due to avian flu. We're talking millions of birds. Fewer chickens, less eggs, higher prices.

I'm still young and don't have a lot of work-years under my belt, but I would first finish my CS degree and then maybe go to Med School and into medical research, sounds the most appealing to me right now. Education here is free but I don't know if I could keep up working fulltime and studying for so long, besides research probably doesn't pay decently at all.

Also I would try creating a startup, maybe a small gamedev company with friends or something, but I don't have any ideas atm and I'd probably need extra funding for that, so it's more unlikely.
Then for you too: have you been here? Yes, there are a few countries for which Solar will work, and more countries for which a massive Solar investment will never pay off. But you know what will? Wind and hydro. You know what's already been constantly getting invested in? Wind and hydro.

Being against renewables is completely nuts. Being against solar in places where solar is a dumb idea for most of the year, and we could spend the same money on better green alternatives is being perfectly sensible.

Build solar installations where there's a reliable amount of sun, for most of the year (and each country where that's the case already has solar projects going). And then understand that even if you do that, the benefit will be local rather than EU wide because there simply isn't enough Europe that matches that description for solar to be the only renewable you can think of.

Pieces this stupid make me viscerally angry. I disagree with many of the core points, but it's the particularly dumb way those arguments are presented that really gets me. This reads like it was written by some 70-year old retired executive who has no idea what a semiconductor is.

The level of arrogance and stupidity required to witness the (still ongoing) catastrophe in global supply chains from the COVID-19 pandemic and not reassess any of one's opinions on globalization is simply staggering. It's either criminally negligent or deceitful not to even mention COVID-19 in a discussion of globalization in 2023.

> The death of [the hope for a democratic China]—combined with the migration of a million manufacturing jobs to Chinese factories—caused America to fall out of love with globalisation.

Ok, so the author is acknowledging that globalization cost the US a lot of manufacturing jobs (though there's an obvious downplaying of that loss here). Great!

> Reindustrialisation will raise prices, hurting the poor most.

Now the author is arguing the other side of the exact same point! What about the manufacturing jobs the author just said were lost to globalization? Does the author have brain damage?

> Democrats and Republicans alike worry that the loss of America’s lead in advanced chipmaking to Taiwan will undermine its ability to develop artificial intelligence—on which, they predict, armies of the future will rely to plan strategy and guide missiles.

This totally misunderstands the nature of the conflict. TSMC is the biggest fab of the most sophisticated microprocessors in the world, processors which we all rely on every second of every day. The entire global economy needs these chips to function and US companies need the best chips to put in their products so they can be competitive. For simple economic reasons and complicated historical reasons China really wants to reintegrate Taiwan into the PRC. The US can't tolerate that because it would put China in direct control of the world's biggest supply of advanced semiconductors. It has nothing to do with artificial intelligence and everything to do with control of economic resources.

> America must also woo emerging powers. By 2050 India and Indonesia will be the world’s third- and fourth-largest economies, projects Goldman Sachs, a bank.

Minor quibble, but why include this appositive? Does anybody who reads The Economist not know that Goldman Sachs is a bank?
There were no bugs then, there was very little electronics in a car. Not like in Uber.
Because its not 1800 anymore. Back when a lot of those European countries officially switched to metric the industrial revolution had only just begun. A huge chunk of the population was illiterate. Loads of people didn't deal with precise measurements in their day to day lives. Now days, everyone deals with measures almost daily and just about everyone is literate.

And not every European country uses metric everywhere. Ask someone in the UK what their weight is, and if they don't tell you to buzz off they'll quite probably give you an answer in stone.
So Microsoft created C# to address that
> In 1948, Palestinian irregulars led by Amin al-Husseini, who had been The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who spied for he Nazis and was a guest of Hitler's in Berlin during WWII and who organized SS troops for he Nazis from Bosnia, as well as 5 Arab nations all sought to destroy Israel. They lost.

That narrative has been debunked by historians (both Arab and Israeli) for quite some time. I would encourage you to look at recent documentaries (Tantura (2022), Blue Box (2021), etc.). These run counter to the Christian Zionist narrative promulgated by a strong (and very well funded) Israeli lobby.
And people are companies until THEY want to press charges.
When bird flu shows up in an area, the only way to stop it is to cull the entire flock. Broiler chickens go from hatch -> slaughter in as little as 8 or 9 weeks. Hens need closer to 5 months before they start laying eggs. It just takes longer for the stores of hens to be replenished.
Because the company you are buying from what doing the minimum to achieve the "Pasture Raised Organic" label, which is not a very high bar. These laws impact them just as much as the "budget eggs".

To be a "free-range" or "pasture-raised" chicken you simply need access to the outdoors. So, these animals are kept in the same cramped, feces-filled hothouses that the "budget chickens" are, but there's a tiny hole in the side of the barn where they can access a tiny bit of grass. That's it.

There is no incentive for these companies to do anything above the bare minimum; you will never find a large-scale egg supplier that raises chickens in the idyllic environment you may picture in your head.
The difference is gross and net. 2080 € for 40 h is the gross wage, and only since last October (before it was 1800 €).

I can't say much about low-skilled jobs, but in the last couple of years it has been hard to hire developers and electronics engineers. Not neccessarily due to a lack of people, but because many companies don't want to or can't spend enough money to attract talent.
This is honestly very cool. VS Code uses a similar approach to their local file system provider, albeit with a wrapper around IndexDB instead of SQLite. There’s some interesting trade offs too, since IndexDB can store the browser’s native file handlers in a flat map — so there’s no need for a schema.

IMO, the Chrome team is being a bit deceptive with their phrasing on synchronous file handles. The problem is that the entire API is wrapped up in an asynchronous ceremony. `createSyncAccessHandle` is only available in a worker context. So you can only communicate with the worker using an asynchronous postMesssage event dispatcher. And even when you’re in the worker, file handles can only be accessed through methods that return a promise.

I understand the need for such boundaries when working with a single threaded language, but limiting the synchronous APIs to just workers seems like one too many layers of indirection. I recently attempted to write a POSIX-style BusyBox library and this sort of thing was a total show stopper.
Oil paint. It’s SO very good for my mental health. But alas - I cannot afford to do it as much as I’d like. Nor have I sold a painting, to help the process. (Though that’s not my goal.)
> Until whatsapp dies. Subway systems run for decades. Can anyone really trust that any particular app will still be around in twenty years? Or two? For critical infrastructure you need something stable, something like a part of the RF spectrum dedicated to critical infrastructure. This is why cops/pilots/ships still have dedicated radios even though some combination of cell/satellite phones would certainly be much cheaper in the short term.

The radios of those are outside. The radios of subway are underground. It's not great for radios, requires infrastructure, and phones solve it in same way, by having infrastructure close to cover for reduced range.

Recent increases in gun deaths are primarily driven by poor city neighborhoods that already had a long history of gun violence, so, if you don't live there, why would you be so afraid of gun violence as to avoid having children now compared to 10 or 20 years ago? https://www.brookings.edu/2022/04/21/mapping-gun-violence-a-...

Note that Brookings institute is a solid left think-tank. I completely disagree with most of their conclusions and much of their analyses, but they tend to do a good job in collecting data and are at least more honest than most politically-biased organizations.

> Our politicians don't hide their corruption

They don't need to, because most people just keep voting for them anyways. If they are willing to do that, why would corruption stop them from having kids?

> and you know, the climate crisis that we've seen coming and still choose to do nothing.

People have been claiming climate crises nigh on a century, and they've been wrong. Every. Single. Time. https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/50-years-of-failed-doomsday-e...

We have a climate problem, not a climate crisis. I suggest you read or watch some Bjorn Lomberg.

What's the point of all this? A bad doctor, seeing symptoms, diagnoses the wrong illness, prescribes the wrong treatment, and makes the patient sicker than before. Birth rates are on the decline, but it's not because of gun violence or existential climate threats, although it could be in part due to the false perceptions people have on these issues from listening to dishonest media corporations, school teachers, university professors, and celebrities.

I do a good deal of baking, and I buy a lot of my supplies from Costco. I also have spent a fair amount of time very diligently tracking my family's grocery expenses. (I have a spreadsheet of almost 3 years of just about all groceries we bought.)

In 2019, I picked up 15 dozen eggs for $8.69, and the 5 dozen was $8.99 at that time. (There were times when they didn't stock the 15 dozen, so I had to opt for 5 -- a much more expensive $1.80/dozen but still reasonable.)
