I use the word "they" in that context all the time regardless of gender or pronoun. I actually thought about that before using it. It's a common use of the word "they" in casual English.
This. I was a TMo customer from when they were Voicestream until about five years ago, then again 3 years ago. Had to switch to VZW so the college kids got signal. This is what, the third or fourth time they've had a data breach? We will not be going back. Ever.

I was in the military during the Reagan era and was a Republican. I coasted on that for awhile and then watched the film adaptation of TGOW and noticed the government run by the Democrats was trying to help poor people at the time, while Republicans were trying to run them out of town if they couldn't exploit their labor. This was the film depiction. I don't vouch for it's voracity. I'm not a historian.

What I did do what take a look around in the 90's and notice Democrats were trying to help poor people while Republicans were trying to cut social security and school lunches for poor kids. That's when I became a Democrat.
I'm tired of this crap. Can we just say all businesses have to pay $10,000 direct to each customer for each data breach?

Furthermore, to prevent government scope creep, can we say the $10,000 comes from the dynastic wealth of whatever congress critters backed whatever bills required the companies to collect the stolen data in the first place?

There is no reason for the cell company to even know who its customers are, beyond dealing with sim card replacements. That could be handled without requiring PII.
> The state of housing in NZ is indeed abysmal; I don't know why it's so bad.

It's got nothing to do with the cost of goods or labour. NZ house prices are basically all zoning, the underlying cost of building a house is nothing compared to the value of the land while there's empty fields surrounding it that you can't even park a caravan on.

I've found YouTube videos can do a good job.

Entry level: 3 Blue 1 Brown, Mathologer

More advanced: Many random one offs which I haven't yet to establish a good pattern for, Richard E Brocherds seems to have a few series though I have to take them slowly as they are more akin to a college lecture.

Number crunching examples: Michael Penn. Also should have some more theory based videos but I have only watched his problem solving ones.

Avoid: Numberphile just ends up feeling empty and devoid of any depth. Maybe it works for someone so entry level that they don't follow along with Mathologer but I don't see any value and would like a way for YouTube to stop recommending their videos.
Should we overhaul all languages that use gendered language? I speak French and often think in French (le/la, etc), obviously I speak English, but a lot of modern English comes with heritage from cultures, languages, hell even concepts of thought (yes thinking in differently languages gives unique perspectives of the world).

In an attempt to sound like he had noble reasons for leaking hundreds of thousands of unrelated secret documents to journalists, Snowden claimed it was watching James Clapper's congressional testimony in March 2013 that triggered him to start downloading and exfiltrating classified material.

This was a lie. He'd actually started collecting his trove of stolen documents many months prior, in mid-2012, coinciding with arguments with his managers. He had a grudge against his employers, and he acted upon it.

Snowden also never mentions that nation-state adversaries got all of this material too. The intelligence agencies of China and Russia must have been rubbing their hands in glee when he fled to them in quick succession. No wonder Russia continues to protect Snowden from being brought to justice in the US, from their point of view he did a stellar espionage job for them.

That's not the only bullshit from Snowden either. Even little things like his claimed $200k salary when it was actually closer to $100k-ish. He's a serial fabricator full of grandiose claims about himself and what he did.

His elevation to hero status is a moral travesty.

>>go against Russia by leaking information about a US surveillance program

The information Snowden leaked was in no way against Russia, it benefited Russia enormously.

Even the stuff that was on his claimed point created turmoil in the US to this day, which harms the US and only helps Russia

The other stuff he leaked helped Russia directly, and directly endangered and likely got killed US people and/or assets.

and of course he claimed his laptop was secure while he was in Hong Kong on his way to Russia. Anyone who thinks it stayed that way and he was allowed/invited to stay in Russia is a fool.

There is nothing he did that didn't harm the US and benefit Russia, and he was a very successful Russian op. the mere fact that it is still being debated here in the Us shows how successful it was, even if just a provocation/disinformation operation.

Likewise satellite TV and the Internet had a lot to do with the instigation of the Arab Spring.
Right but those numbers are wrong too. 70-99% gets spent on the cause but I’ll tell you how.

If you’re a charity that say collects for homeless people, even if the charity says they spend 90% on the cause, the actual benefits to the homeless people is actually close to maybe 30-50%. They creatively spend money “for the cause” like printing pamphlets or spending on a fundraising event or hiring a “consultant” to strategize on how to fix homelessness or plenty of others.

I knew before posting that my comment was going to be downvoted. But it was made from a place of hurt after being involved in multiple charities big and small. There are genuine grassroots community based charities that work well. But they are few. Most well run charities spend at best 60% of the money wisely.
Most statistics I could find showed the USSR had modest economic growth during the interwar period. The famine was seemingly intentionally inflicted to speed industrialization which makes it evil rather than incompetence. https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/soviet-economy-1917-1991-its-...

Using your own domain with Mastodon
Yes I understand and I do see your point. I wonder if the problem can be solved semantically. Instead of thinking of the company as the scalpers you want people thinking of the launch event as an auction. I don't think people would be so fickle if you framed the practice as “launch auctions”. Then it would be clear to everyone that there is no msrp until the supply and demand stabilize. And people would be at liberty to pay whatever they thought a fair price for the item all things considered. If someone else bids higher, well, tough luck.

Not fair to whom? The Soviet apparatchiks who enabled Stalin's purges and banned the movie to avoid hard questions?

I remember getting a ride, as a kid, in the back of my great-uncle's Volga and my uncle's Zhiguli. They lived in Moscow while we were in a suburban town (akademgorodok) where a Zaporozhets was a luxury that less than 10% of households could get. The reason I remember is the ride was a yearly treat. This was during perestroika, in Moscow oblast (one of the two richest regions). A few years later glasnost allowed people to see enough movies to conclude that the system was unworkable.

The Soviet Union was an evil empire start to end, built on the bones of its "brother nations" as much as their own citizens. Its troubles can't be explained away by WWII.

Indeed, or balloons or drones with active radar transponders.

Here's what I mean. Suppose you have a line of drones, each with the ability to communicate with the drone next to it (very short range radio) and to emit a pulse that emulates some aircraft's radar signature. The drones are small and/or stealthy, so they don't show up on that aircraft's radar--except when their transponder receives a radar pulse and re-transmits it.

The drones await a radar transmission pulse from an aircraft. When they receive it, the first drone in the line re-transmits the pulse, and sends a signal to the next drone in line. When the next pulse is received, the second drone re-transmits it, and so forth along the line. What this looks like to the aircraft's radar is a single very fast moving object--a UFO (how fast it appears to be depends on the spacing between the drones).

Variations on this idea include sharp bends in the line of drones, which would imitate a fast moving object suddenly accelerating off in a different direction; or a line of drones that goes down to the water, making it appear that the UFO dove towards the water. Release a small bomb from the drone closest to the water, and it appears the UFO actually splashed into the water. Continue the transmissions back up the line of drones and it looks like the UFO dove into the water momentarily, then flew back up.

In no case do the drones need to move fast (or even at all). The movement is all apparent, in the eyes of the radar. If you want to add a simultaneous visible component, add a strobe or similar to each drone (or inside each balloon). In this case, the apparent persistence of the UFO is all in the human's eyes--the same trick movies have used for over a century.
> The state of housing in NZ is indeed abysmal; I don't know why it's so bad.

There are plenty of factors. Most of the country has reasonably temperate weather all year round, especially on the more populous north island. Then you have the just get on with it throw it together attitude that used to dominate the rural areas, so you're starting from a really low point.

Starting from that low point it seems that its been hard to raise the bar. The cost of materials must play a part there. There's also been ongoing and continual issues with the companies that actually do the building and/or manufacture the materials being both intertwined and in monopoly positions.

If it showed up anywhere in future, it would be there, I think, in the list of AirPlay devices.

I can say I’ve had the opposite problem, where I’m on Spotify on one device and, while playing, would want to use a second device to preview tracks. But the Spotify model only lets you play in one location at a time. I do like the Spotify model most of the time, though.

"In 1948 The Grapes of Wrath was allowed to play in Soviet cinemas because of its propaganda value, which was presumably to heighten awareness of the desperate misery of the Okies under the most advanced system of capitalism on the planet. After several weeks, however, the film—given the unbiblical title of The Road to Wrath—had to be withdrawn. Soviet audiences were apparently extracting the wrong lesson, since they could see for themselves that even the most dispossessed of America’s rural proletariat were shown driving automobiles."

I was thinking $40k x 4 which is $160k.

I just did a quick search and found several reputable sites saying the average FAANG salary is $230 (which is 5.75x).

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the mean software engineering salary was $136,230 in 2022. So you're right thats only 3.5x.

Notice thats the mean. I suspect the median is actually slightly higher than the mean. So i'm guesstimating here. But I stand by my rough estimate.

> It's a modern concept, when some folks of a particular political leaning didn't get their way.

I've repeatedly pointed out that it's not, at all. It's been a feature of our political system from the beginning. The ideal is that it's not, but that's never actually been true. It's something that's been known as a feature of this particular arrangement of government since before the Constitution itself was written—when it was still in the planning phase.

You keep using "literally" and it keeps making your points worse because they're literally wrong, while they might have merit as an aspiration, at least.

Like... they totally do play petty politics. Again, read any history of the court, it'll be pretty clear that they always have. It'd be kinda weird if they didn't, when you think about it. It's just a bunch of people, after all, as was (again) repeatedly pointed out by various founders.
You talk about a whole country like it's a single, morally culpable, person? And those 26 million dead, they all should suffer because Stalin signed the pact with Hitler?

So you can wave away massive death -- justified? And all conversation about the matter must be redirected to this allocation of blame. "Mommy, Johnny hit me first."

I think you need to give your head a shake. The way you're talking about war and death, it's like you don't really grasp the level of tragedy at all.

People hate being poor relative to their neighbors even if in real terms they are better off than people near but not at the top in poor places.

> It suffered massive deaths in the war, especially among its young men of working age.

Largely because Stalin refused to listen to anyone and didn't defend his western borders and wouldn't admit the Germans were invading until they were practically half way to Moscow, and the Soviet system didn't allow for any other path of action.

> It was invaded by NAZI Germany

Who Stalin foolishly allied with, knowing at the time that Hitler would betray him.

> Its agricultural and industrial lands were ravaged by war

Was that before or after collectivization caused a famine and the purges wrecked all of the engineering talent?

Indeed, this is one misleading title. The Soviets were really fond of Steinbeck and especially the Grapes of Wrath (the book) up until the moment he wrote positively of the American troops in Vietnam in the 60s. After that, all his books were pulled from libraries and weren't reissued/published until Perestroika, when 6-volume collected works were released in 1989.
It is a fair comparison because Soviet propaganda explicitly said the opposite: that the Soviet system was superior to the West, and that people in the Soviet Union were better off than in the West.
