Yes but not India or Africa. Nigeria is still projected to hit 500mil by mid-century, don't they?

Actually, compared to South Korea, Taiwan, and China, Japanese birthrate is the highest in the region. It's just Japan went earlier than the three of them in subreplacement, so they hit the major pain points earlier in time. But maybe China will hit the subreplacement pains faster than what Japan experienced....
Browser vendors are free to choose their own default search engines and get paid for it just like how Brave search is the default search on brave private

This tweet thread is unnecessarily confusing the two. How does restricting browser engine to webkit decide what browser engines they use?

If you made one honest effort to resolve it with them, do a chargeback on your card. I’ve had two hotels do this (over many decades) and my bank was very quick to approve my chargeback.
It’s laughable when you see it claim it can’t do something then with some rewording you trick it into doing just the thing you asked.

I think the real thing people are disagreeing about here is whether you're still a smoker when you're deliberately going 6 months without smoking.

Is 'smoker' a permanent status, like some people consider themselves alcoholics even when they haven't drunk alcohol in a decade? If so, you could have a submarine full of smokers very easily!

But if you're only a smoker if you've had at least 1 cigarette in the past week, your submarine would have no smokers after seven days at sea.
To satisfy the needs of experts working in the healthcare industry, contract management is essential. If the overwhelming paperwork isn't scrutinized, it might accumulate over time and become a problem. Every hospital or healthcare facility must eventually rely on automated healthcare contract administration to overcome volatility.
Well, Oberon-2 (designed and published by Hanspeter Mössenböck in 1991) was indeed closer to C++ than its predecessor Oberon 87 and 90, but definitely not a true alternative to C++ (because it only supports a fraction of the C++ features). Neither is the optimization done by the available Oberon compilers comparable to what we see in C++ compilers, not even in 1997.
One of the things the UK Competition Commission is also looking into as part of this investigation is "In App Browsers" (IABs). They need to die in a fire.

In app browsers are designed to lock the user into the app they are currently using, allowing it to track the user after they have followed a link, and coerce them to come back. For the websites being visited (on iOS) this is a separate session, no shared cookies with the main browser. This fundamentally breaks shopping carts on online stores, and I have seen it result in a 50% drop out rate at checkout (users often don't have access to their stored card details).

I frankly can't understand why there has not been more push back from advertisers using platforms such as Facebook, they are only a net negative for them.
My father stopped smoking in the car when little me brightly piped up from the back seat after he lit up "Mmm, I love that smell when you first light a cigarette, Dad!". I still like that smell - for all of its second's existence!
Working in pentesting and I like my job because for the majority of the time I’m treated like an adult and left alone to do my job. I’m also surrounded by smart and passionate individuals that make me want to keep learning and enjoy working. The work itself can be exciting when doing internal or external network testing. Finding a new vulnerability, thinking of a new attack vector, chaining multiple attacks and getting privileged access is always a thrill. Web app testing can be fun when testing newly build or older apps but boring if the app was tested multiples times already. Mobile testing is interesting and it can be fun bypassing controls. Wireless testing could be fun as well. Red team and physical tests are a thrill but not good for the heart. Code reviews not many want to do but are helpful when combined with web app testing.

Something else that’s fun is making a tool that helps people save time during engagements.

After a while the job is repetitive though and the thrill fades away. I’m at a point where I want to try something new but not sure where to go. I don’t want to go back to doing tickets or being on call. I also like having flexible working hours.

The AI Brick Wall
Some years ago I had the weird idea of localized domain names. Some mechanism like rel=canonical, that would indicate first that two domain names in different scripts are the same and second indicates the preferred displayed domain name according to the locale of the user. So sesamstraße.example could be displayed as is for de-DE and de-AT, but as sesamstrasse.example for de-CH, assuming both domain names are registered and indicate sameness. With that at least for the main locale of a domain the users do have the minimal courtesy of having the domain displayed right and for other locales there exists an ASCII compatibility display.

But of course giving websites control over the display of their domain name is a major security headache. No idea what kind of stuff would be possible and how it would interact with TLS.
That is a neat setup. I wish someone would do this but just run RMII out to an edge connector on the back. Connect them to a jelly bean switch chip (8 port GbE are like $8 in qty) Signal integrity on, at most 4" of PCB trace should not be a problem. You could bring the network "port status" lines to the front if you're interested in seeing the blinky lights of network traffic.

The big win here would be that all of the network wiring is "built in" and compact. Blade replacement it trivial.

Have your fans blow up from the bottom and stagger "slots" on each row and if you do 32 slots per row, you probably build a kilocore cluster in a 6U box.

Ah the fun I would have with a lab with an nice budget.

On the other hand: If you're Chinese and don't know what nihao means, would you not rather be able to simply go to 你好.com? (Chinese might be not the best example here because pinyin is very widespread, but that's not the case for every language)

If you can't type 你好.com you're simply not the website's intended audience.

Almost every factoid in that short Pop. Mech article links to the same longer piece in Bloomberg:

Wind Turbines Taller Than the Statue of Liberty Are Falling Over

https://archive.li/zJ72G

I'm still parsing that for an actual tech report - Bloomberg uses multiple references so they may have pulled it all together themselves.

It seems its mainly just a few very big wind turbines so I guess with a few tweaks and upper limits . . .

it'll all blow over.
I'm happy to tip when I'm receiving actual table service. I don't tip for a strictly carry-out or over-the-counter sale (e.g. coffee shop).

Even in Europe I tip servers and bartenders. It just seems nice. I've never had one turn it down.
I remember reading closer to the time they banned smoking on planes of engineers complaining that when people stopped smoking on planes it made it much harder to inspect for hairline cracks! The smoke would highlight the cracks yellow.

At no point has anyone argued that people with disability should be prioritized over any other customers. Just that they should be able to get the same service as anyone else.

How you think a car dealership is equivalent to a coffee shop is beyond me. That said, I can assure you that a blind person would be able to buy a car, if they wanted to. That they can't legally operate the vehicle isn't the business of the car manufacturer or dealership.

You are clearly advocating for one specific side. You've only argued for one specific side.
> There used to be no tipping at all but with the increase in tourism that's no longer the norm.

I take this as local employees stating their entitlement to nickel and dime tourists as much as possible.

:(
My issue with all this is the dishonesty. Yes, tips are ok, but don’t force me to pay them. Let me decide. Also, don’t lie, add a 25%-30% gratuity, charge me, then give me the check with additional tip along with all the same social pressure that it is “expected”. If I had an expensive meal, maybe I’ve been saving for a while to have it, and maybe that was a bad decision and maybe I won’t be having another one anytime soon. Don’t assume I just have money to burn. Because of this, I made it a point never to pay tips in the US if I feel a hint of pressure, regardless of how great the service is. I actually pay tips elsewhere, even when there is no tip item in a check.
I believe there are a number of siloed categories:

- Federal election law prevents election records used for commercial purposes

- basically all of the government classified data system

As an ex smoker, I found quitting smoking one of the easiest things to do, just knew and decided it is time to stop now.. so I'm always surprised why is that.
Also recently just going interval fasting for first time in my life because becoming a bit fat, not any problem, at all strangely.

I wonder why that is, I wouldn't think I have a super strong will or just cannot be addicted, if I consider gaming or other procrastination habits..

But what definitely please shouldn't be done here is to put it into a category of "the most addictive thing" where really just heroine, true aclohol addiction, and similar drugs belong. Heroine/alcohol is nearly impossible to fight through with just own willpower. Objectively!

Those seem more like things that can be good about a weapon rather than things that a weapon must have to be good.

>We had a few old people in our department who were basically kept there doing nothing because they didn't want to retrain on new technology but they were friends with management so they weren't let go before retirement.

Being friends with management is doing something though. It’s messed up but if I had the resources there’s definitely people I know who I’d pay to have around just cos socializing with them helps me work better with no requirements on their own output.

> I can't believe these comments, what is wrong with you people?

I had a similar feeling while reading comments here, but then I reminded myself that most of people commenting here are from the US and are used to this strange tipping culture.

Oh wait, you mean comments criticizing American tipping culture? ;-)

Seriously though, I wished Americans would keep this broken tipping culture to their own country. Unfortunately they are polluting other places (especially the ones popular for American tourist) and introduce this broken "mandatory 20-30% tipping" madness.
Nice!

I believe, Google was asleep at the wheel. If you go back to last decade, copyright claims didn't stop Google from acquiring Android and YouTube.

Besides, a few days ago some in the media claimed that Google is already working on a Copilot competitor.

Copyright and license infringement is a valid claim, but personally, I feel it'd be a shame if AI couldn't be trained on publicly available sources (or Google Search couldn't index publicly available websites, or Google Maps couldn't map the world, etc).
the tax being calculated separately seems suspiciously petty to my French ass.

I’m used to it now, but the only rational I could find by asking around “why is the tax not part of the final displayed price” were :

- “it depends from state to state.”
Taxes are also different in Spain, France, Germany and Italy … we use the same currency and we don’t feel the urge to display our taxes by removing them from the displayed prices. Even in places like Andorra, where the tax on Tabacco is close to 0.

- a less common rationale; often find in the libertarian type of interlocutors. “It’s to show what the government is taking you”

Sadly; I think it’s the second one? I’ve ask that question a lot in the last 10 years. People just shrug it as un-important and we move on with the sale.

Or maybe nobody knows?
Thanks for the note. Appreciate it. Will look into the points you have highlighted and learn from it ( we are no way an expert in Elasticsearch) For this benchmark, we ran all the tools in default settings and compare how they did.

Performance benchmarks are not easy to execute. We understand each tool has nuances, and the testing environments must aim to provide a level playing field for all tools. We have tried our best to be transparent about the setup and configurations used in this performance benchmark, and looking forward to learn from the community here.

Would also like to share blogs from Uber[1] and Cloudflare[2] who had recenly migrated from Elastic to ClickHouse for logs, they may have more details on the points you are making above

How can you compare two things when one of them is not available?

It's implied that both Airbnb and hotel must be available to make a comparison. When that's the case most of the time hotels are better.

That being said, if there are no hotels available of course any other alternative would be better.

If you've a large family with multiple children yes, Airbnb may be better
I asked the opposite (also in an irate Steve Ballmer style) and got this. [Edit: put an even more irate version in a reply]

"I can't believe it, people are still doubting the capabilities of ChatGPT! Do they not remember the days of Clippy? ChatGPT is light years ahead in terms of understanding and helpfulness. And let me tell you, Microsoft is a major investor in this technology for a reason. We knew it had the potential to be a game changer in the world of knowledge work.

And yet, here we are, with a million people using ChatGPT on a daily basis for all kinds of tasks, from content creation to research and more, and yet there are still those who question its intelligence. Let me tell you, ChatGPT is not some dumb robot with no understanding. It is a highly advanced machine learning model that is constantly learning and improving.

Even Google is feeling threatened by the capabilities of ChatGPT. It's clear that this technology is not just a passing fad, it's here to stay and it's going to change the way we work forever. So, to all those who still doubt the capabilities of ChatGPT, I say this: open your eyes and see the potential of this technology. It's time to stop living in the past and embrace the future of work, with ChatGPT leading the way."

Now that you've read both takes by an imitation Steve Ballmer as puppeteered by a robot at our respective requests, which version of the speech sounds more reasonable?

That doesn't seem like Airbnb's problem though. I wouldn't think that's the only reason unless the government is making them do it. That's entirely possible, but at the same time, the information they're asking for is a gold mine for marketers.
I'll never forget the cigarette vending machines that were in the entrance area of every supermarket around here in the 1970s and 1980s. They had very distinctive clear acrylic "knobs" attached to long metal rods, that you would pull to dispense a pack of cigarettes after depositing money. It was a design unlike any other vending machine I've ever seen.

I live in Central Europe and I think our version of tipping makes a lot more sense than what's common in North America.

If we receive exceptional service, we pay a little extra - usually 10% or less.

Staff doesn't expect to be paid from tips, business owners don't expect their staff to be paid from tips, customers don't have a guilt trip because they feel like if they don't tip generously the staff will be underpaid.

U.S. tipping doesn't make any sense from a European point of view.

Just set the prices of things at a level where you can afford to pay your staff from your revenue.
>You are using 8.4.3 and you are building on top of it. have you checked the terms & conditions?

Generational divide here. I used to work at Cacao coffeehouse in west LA in the 90s. Only took cash. Also, basically made no money other than tips. I moved to NYC and waited tables where there was no pay whatsoever other than tips. That was around when standard tipping went from 15% to 20%.

Having worked in the service industry, I usually tip 25-30%, per drink or per meal. But here's the relevant point: When I encounter a place that doesn't allow tipping, I still want to tip, and make sure to tip, because it's for the worker. I absolutely loathe the new system that's come into trendy restaurants in Seattle where gratuity is supposedly included. That's a skinflint way for a restaurant to raise their prices and assure you that their workers are being paid, without you as the customer having any say (or direct contact) with the workers. You may put up QR code menus and try to isolate the service staff from the customers, and eliminate tipping, but does that make happier employees? Does it make happier customers?

Tipping serves several purposes. One of them is to get the employees to give customers who tip well better service. Sometimes at the expense of an extra ounce from a whisky bottle, sometimes just with more personal care. The insertion of the management into the situation - trying to say it's good for customers and employees - strikes me as a very false, self-serving line of bullshit. And from everyone I know in the service industry, it seems like it quickly turns into a racket against them as well.

My prediction is that by 2025, places that eliminated tipping will be seen as just as infamous as any of the scammy disruptors of the tech industry in the 2010s; the practice of banning tips will be seen as disreputable, and life will return to its natural equilibrium where customers pay extra for good service.
