> This is where user options should allow for that. If being called a different gender is so bad just block the people that do that.

In your comment, you said that we can just block the n-word. Why? Should it not also be up to the users offended by it to block those using it? I don't think people using the word should be on the platform, but I don't know where you'd draw the line.

> So you can't just create a rule that blocks everyone who says "He" just like you can block the n-word.

I don't think I've ever seen a single person suggest this.

> The problem is with the person assuming every single person in the general public should treat them as a friend and getting offended when a label that is applied to half of the population (neither as a positive or negative, merely as a descriptor) is somehow that bad of a thing.

I'm not sure what situation you're presenting here. Trans persons usually don't assume that the general public should treat them as a friend. What they assume is that "if I tell somebody I would like to be referred to with female pronouns they should do so" is a very normal thing to ask of somebody. I'm male, but if somebody erroneously called me female, I'd correct them. If they kept calling me female, I'd try to get them removed from the social situation I'm in. Why is this any different for a trans person?

> (neither as a positive or negative, merely as a descriptor)

This is a pretty bad line of argumentation. For racist people, the n-word is also just a descriptor, and they don't understand why they're not allowed to use it.

In the end, referring to somebody in a way they don't like is always a demonstration of power. By doing so, you're saying "it is okay for me to make you feel less welcome, because I won't suffer negative consequences from doing so". The only harm in making people feel accepted is an imaginary one.

What part of

> £55k as being equivalent to $100k in the US

Is not? I don't see any argument for that not being correct. Everything you said about costs, sounds that exact same as $100k in the US. Unless you live in North Dakota, chances are you are paying pretty close to the same percentages for rent/foot in a larger city such as San Fran or Chicago.

Not exactly sure what zone 5 is, but a rough search gave me $2500 for rent in Chicago, which is about double £1,500 (roughly), council tax probably doesn't exist, but travel in Chicago is certainly going to be WAY more than "£50 a week". And GOOD luck finding utilities for "at least £100", internet alone is probably $50 US, cell phone another $40 US, power, heat, hot water, depending on apartment is probably another $100 US. Food for "£50 a week" is also a dream I would expect food to be closer to $200 USD a week. Unless you're living on ramen.

Everything I see adds up to that being about correct.

It's not normal to count payroll taxes as part of the employers tax, as that would also increase the gross salary above that which the employee considers their salary to be. E.g. nobody factors that in when comparing California salaries to the many US states with no payroll tax.

Even so, you need to get up towards 300k GBP/year to exceed 50% even with the payroll tax. And that assumes you're making zero pension contributions (as contributions are offset against your tax up to 40k gross/year)

With respect to student loans, sure, you can add that in but then you need to do that when comparing to the US salary levels in this thread too.
> the original goal should be, primarily, totally disconnected from money. Any monetary benefits should be a side effect of providing value.

Value is a funny word here. You have a business if you create value for both your users/customers and yourself.

You don't have to monetize on day one, but how you create value for yourself needs to be at least a fuzzy part of your vision from inception.
The only numbers I could find about this disagree with you:

I’ve struggled with Gradle for years, and remember hating it because of how overly complex and developer-hostile it seemed. Today, I write Gradle plug-ins, mentor others who seem unhappy, and am generally pleased that Gradle exists and how it can significantly improve build times in some projects if wielded correctly.

Its learning curve and user-friendliness, however, are truly abysmal imho.
I seriously doubt that the head of cyber security at such a place would ever do any coding. The primary job would be administrative, the needed skill the management of people. 55k is a joke, but lets not pretend that this position requires l33t hacking skills. This is a job about hiring and firing people, about selecting policy and judging the qualification of prospective contractors. And it's a job about writing reports and presenting them to higher authorities and investigative committees, not the sort of things taught at bootcamps.
There's different degrees of "native"...

There are different kinds of native: native code and native widgets play at different levels.

XUL implementations, when I last checked long ago, were native code written in C++ mostly. XUL applications were written in JavaScript on top of this implementation. If that has changed, corrections are welcome.

That was exactly the same scheme used by Firefox itself: core components in native code, GUI in XUL. As long as most of the functionality is provided by the native code, the difference shouldn't be noticeable. If you put a lot in your JS, it could slow down the GUI, but after all the improvements in JS engines, I doubt it's still a big concern.

Native widgets is a concept that makes sense where the OS provides an official widget set, as in Windows or Mac. In Linux you might say GTK is native for GNOME and Qt for KDE. Here the issue is not so much performance as consistency, because "alien" widget sets sometimes try to emulate "native" ones and pixel perfection is nigh impossible to achieve.

The real catch of XUL (please, read this with a pinch of salt) is that it's useless: you can put the backend code in a local server.
It really is. Of course you have to compare things like housing, food and health services and general quality of life, not electronics.

On the Allurements of Conspiracy Theory
The overall population of Germany is not declining yet, in fact last year the German population has never been as high. In general, if Germany wants to keep its economy the population has to continue increasing until the boomers are dead. So yes, counter intuitively, for now there is going to be a major pressure on the housing market at least until the peak. Germany is a major immigration target inside the EU so it's not met with the same fate as poorer european economies like Russia, Ukraine, or Italy.

The high rents in places like Munich are due to the urban areas seeing a major boom: that's where the jobs are, that's where the immigrants are going, that's where the young people from the countryside are going.
We had a similar issue, but unfortunately this is not as easy at it seems.

google will remove you from that database fo bad websites but many other crap antivirus/security software will not automatically refresh it. So you will get report from customer A that the website is not safe, you then have to ask for what security program they use, then you need to find the form on those people website , it is not easy since a big securityu company might have different websites and support pages for different stuff so you need to find the right one to submit a form or open a ticket.

And one of this big security companies(unfortunately I do not remember which of them) had a bug on their form, when you submit it it would show an error, and that was for a few weeks.

If anyone works at this "security" companies, make the fuck sure that adding some website on the list should be as easy to also remove it from the list. if you use Google lists to add a site then use same fucking list to remove them, and make a fucking form that works.
Some thoughts:

1) That's the salary range they've specified, if the right applicant comes along they can probably stretch a good deal. My last work was for the gov., and even though they had a specified salary range in the job listing, they paid 20%-30% more to certain hires.

2) These types of jobs come with a certain "prestige" attached to them, which can open doors later - much, much higher paying and powerful doors. And that's a general thing when it comes to such jobs, people are willing to slash their paycheck in half if it's powerful enough

3) The type of applicant for these jobs are (in my experience) much more driven by ideology than money. Gov. jobs can never compete on salary, that's just a fact of life. But they do still get excellent applicants, that are burning for certain things

4) Many of these applicants don't need higher salaries - they're already financially independent.
Dropping CarPlay and Android Auto, in favour of Android Automotive… which is different from Android Auto.

More seriously, Automotive is basically the car running Android, rather than running some custom firmware that can receive the “mirror” content from CarPlay/Auto. Because this means it’ll be running a full app platform, I wonder if CarPlay/Auto could be implemented on top of Automotive with relative ease. It may even be possible for Apple to publish a CarPlay app on the Play Store for example.
I honestly agree with everything you have said. I have constantly seen self-proclaimed "intelligent" arguments which basically make the same assumptions you have stated and then have the gall of saying they aren't racist.

The flip-side of this is that all the "expats" (not immigrants :)) and "digital nomads" are outbidding the locals and pushing up prices for them.

My council tax in zone five for a mid range priced terraced 3 bedroom house is below £200 a month before the single person deduction (25%).

Literally the first search for a 1 bed property to rent in zone 5 (Croydon, specifically), showed up several around 1100/month. The furnished ones in the more expensive new-builds certainly are around the 1500/month range. Those are in band A, while my house is in band D, so even lower council tax, before taking into account the single person deduction.

E.g. a single person in a band A property in Croydon will pay around 1200/year in council tax. Varies by borough, of course.

But the web is already descentralized, isn't it? What I mean is, why don't we go back to the early 2000s phase where there were popular forums for everything, each of them with disctint styles and idiosyncrasies. You could have a separate identity in each of them, and I don't remember ever once thinking "oh, it would be cool to be able to somehow connect this account with this other one in this other forum".

It brings me back a few years ago where everyone just had to use blockchains instead of... a database, when it made no sense. It should be decentralization in the sense of offer, not technical decentralization.

Mastodon and the like feel flat to me. Again, maybe I'm missing a key piece here.

> A decentralized network built on non-proprietary software makes walled gardens and centralization by corporations infeasible

I don't think so. I don't think any of this will gather enough momentum to make a dent to the established networks (Twitter, FB, TikTok, Reddit, etc). That ship has sailed, imho
You are not competing with the nationwide average when trying to rent in munich.
I think this article is specifically about running web servers inside of networks with firewalls that block udp on port 443 for whatever reason. There are lots of older networks that have such firewalls and they aren't going to get upgraded overnight.

Reaching http3 servers outside those networks is indeed not a problem as the connection gets downgraded appropriately. You'd know this when Google, for example, stops working inside your network as most of their load balancers are serving http3. Users tend to complain about these things and this obviously hasn't been happening. Ergo, connections are being downgraded as you'd expect.

But putting up webservers serving http3 in a network that blocks udp3 is indeed not going to work until somebody fixes the firewall. You could still do it and test if browsers from outside the network downgrade correctly. But that seems a bit pointless.
That might be the case for the tech press, but is there any reason to doubt Raymond's claim he started looking into it because of support calls?
An answer could be land trusts. A land trust that is sufficiently capitalized would be a capital partner to help buyers buy at current market rates. When these new buyers sell, the land trust stipulates the price they can sell at. We have these to a limited extent in New England, and they may exist elsewhere. The problem is, at this point, only a currency producing entity like the Fed would seem to have the wherewithal to capitalize such an endeavor at a scale needed to substantially change things.
Personal allowance tapers after 100k, making the effective marginal rate 60% between 100-125k. If you include student loan payments too, it's actually more like 69%!

I call it "The Law of Conservation of Unusability". This states that whenever a technology gets to the point where it becomes usable, where you become comfortable with it and are happy with it, something will always happen that either makes it completely unusable or makes it significantly more difficult to work with. This "something" often has no reasonable justification and the reasons for it look quite artificial.

It might be worse. You can’t just dial up and dial down production and processing of fuels. And the regulatory climate is very hostile.
