Do you have as an example of where applying dark coloured make-up to anyone of a European background to make them look exotic/foreign doesn't also look completely ridiculous (and inevitably somewhat insulting)? And yes I'd include "Zwarte Piet".
If you're putting on a performance where it's crucial that the audience identifies a particular character as African (or Moorish) then find a performer who can convincingly and respectfully pull it off sans make-up, or adapt the plot to what you have available. I gather that's what's done for the part of Othello for at least 30 years now at any rate.

employees died, you agreed it was Amazon's fault, if it is Amazon's fault that an employee died then Amazon literally killed that employee. Notice it was never said Amazon is legally culpable for the deaths of employees which has a different meaning in English than 'literally killed'.

It is time we got rid of the "Islamic Golden Age" moniker once and for all. In a way, it is what is actually holding back current day Islamic World from development since they are happy to wallow in useless self-adulation imagining their "Islamic Golden Age" which was not really theirs to begin with; thus hampering their own growth in the "Modern World".
> Too me this always seemed to subvert the "super secure" chip & PIN authentication.

Chip and Pin usually implies offline PIN. The terminal supplies the PIN, after a one-way transform of some sort IIRC* to the chip on the card, which then verifies it locally against a stored version of that same hash or whatever.

With contactless you're doing online PIN. The terminal applies a transform and some sort of asymmetric key encryption to the PIN, and this gets sent to your bank. There's nothing any less secure here.

(* I wrote an EMV 'kernel' a long, long time ago, in about 2002, and some more PIN block processing code about 8 years back. So it's been a while!)

Each release being small is a feature, not a shortcoming.

Rust encourages developers to stick to the latest Rust compiler. Almost all application developers update their compilers every six weeks. This is easier if the changes introduced by each release are small. Even though Rust takes its 1.0 compatibility promise very seriously, bugs still happen. These bugs are easier to report, triage and fix in Rust's model.

So it's not just recent releases that seem small. It's been that way for at least a couple of years now.

PR are not only about placing a bouncer at the club door to, figuratively speaking, check entering members for excessive drunkenness, they are about placing a bouncer at the door to give access to a wider group.

This is quite obvious in open source, where the PR model has been a revolution in terms of lowering barriers of entry. You can join the party without asking for the keys. But similar barriers exist in companies. When they don't exits on the technical level (they usually do, sometimes to the point where collaborating teams wouldn't even know what version control the other side is using), they exist on the social level and a model like PR/MR can help nudge both towards the "internal open source" mindset.

The phrase "to have multiple programs share a database" says a lot about what school of thought one belongs to in terms of architecture.

Using the database as the integration point went out of fashion a bit over 20 years ago. And for good reason. It is not a good integration pattern. It makes the implementation the integration interface rather than using a tightly controlled abstraction that can be kept narrow and preserve degrees of freedom for future evolution. And as you allude to: it gets worse because you have to move more application knowledge and logic into the database to make sure applications don't mess it up.

In fact, this approach is so bad that Amazon's CEO explicitly forbade it at Amazon (Bezos API Mandate, 2002). How often do you see CEOs, even of tech companies, find an integration pattern so counterproductive and dangerous they announce to the company that they will fire anyone using it?

I would say that about 60-70% of projects I've worked on in the last decade have switched databases at least once. One project had support for 5-6 databases and used three different databases in production over a span of 5 years. Adding support for them had fairly low cost (because the internal design made it easy) and it gave us the opportunity to try several things in production, at scale, and then choose what produced the best results. This is a lot better than just choosing something up front and sticking with it because you'll have the data to make an informed choice.
To add a trivial example: if an application is coded well, it’s ready to connect to hosts both on ipv4 and ipv6, in the sense that when resolving a dns name, it will ask for addresses of any kind (unless it supports being explicitly told to only use ipv4).

So now you’re getting a record with multiple ip addresses, some of which are ipv6, but ipv6 is blocked… there you go with random connection delays and possibly timeouts.

Ipv6 exists and it’s getting more and more adoption, no matter if some people keep their head under the sand…
Most of the devs actually love it, and they have excellent customer support. I you suggest a feature, they'll probably do it.
The timing on the SWIO interface needs to be within a few hundred nanoseconds if you want decent bandwidth, but I suppose there's nothing stopping you from running it on a slower and less real-time GPIO pin. You'd just need to swap out the implementation of the PicoSWIO class, the rest would be identical.

Diamond rings are marketed as a luxury, and are probably owned by a similar proportion of the population.
>Amazon is not a person, and cannot kill someone by raising its hand and stabbing them in the spleen. So, what evidence exactly are you asking for?

From a legal point of view, yes Amazon is a person, and that’s the ground on which it can be sued, unlike "Nature" that generated the tornado — though lately things started to move a bit on that side all around the world.[2,3,4,6,7,8,9]

But even that is missing the forest for the tree I think. It seems to me that the point raised by moring is more like can these words be honestly stated as accurate as when The Mail & Guardian titles "The Nigerian government is killing its citizens — again[1]". Although it can be argued that this geopolitical entity is a pure human fiction, there are actual humans that are willingly planning to kill other people.

As awful as the resulting situation might be, I doubt that within Amazon case they were plans and orders to deliberately kill annoying employees. It doesn’t mean Amazon behavior is acceptable, nor is the fact that some government have let Amazon build this situation.

It blew some minds.

Using `truncate` in combination with `cascade` is another that I found unexpected:

"Automatically truncate all tables that have foreign-key references to any of the named tables, or to any tables added to the group due to CASCADE."

So it will simply clear out other tables that reference table to truncate, even if you have `on delete set null` and the foreign key column is null.

My understanding of In-N-Out Burger, a family business, is that they pay the employees adequately and they receive decent benefits. Morale and camaraderie is notably high, and the restaurants can afford to employ at least two dozen people who just crank that kitchen in high gear all day and night. That, along with tasty food, is why I always preferred to patronize them above other dismal fast-food offerings.
While I agree that this is a human nature, I do hope there to be a more systematic way of improving the situation here.

> when it’s actually valid legal ID

Source on this very questionable statement?
A question regarding this - I’ve discovered that using “Express Mode” [0] does allow the transit organization to connect your real credit card to what I assumed was the tokenized DPAN. How is that possible?

Specifically: there’s a transit org (I’ve tried to reach them about this issue, to no avail) that lets you enter your (real, CPAN) credit card number on their public web site and get back your “own” (if it happens to be your card…) transit history i.e. the times when you tapped your iPhone/Android on their NFC/tap enabled turnstiles.

So, they /do/ seem to have a way to either get the CPAN when the card is tapped, or maybe they can tokenize the CPAN in the same way as the phone and then compare the tokens…?

I thought that could not be possible but it 100% works. To me it’s a huge security problem. But again, I have not heard back from them at all.

Do you understand how they do it? Thanks

> Well, for billions of employees it never is, even after 30+ years of hard labor.

This is not a good comparison. You are right that the answer is "never". But the other side of the coin is that, as a Dutch full-time employee, you enjoy incredible stability, something which employers don't have.

The employer might get rich after 10 years of hard work. Or the employer may (much more likely) go bankrupt.

As an employee you are not required to work more than the contracted 40h/week. Yes you will never get rich, but you also don't really have the risk of going bankrupt next month. You are not required to do more than 9-5. You don't have to work overly hard.

Heck even if you lose your job and you can't find a new one, the state will give you a minimum income. You aren't rich but it's also nearly impossible for you to end up in poverty.

If you want to have a shot at getting rich, then start your own company and take the risks of going bankrupt at any moment until you make it. Instead of complaining that you can't get rich while also enjoying stability.

This is also the position of the Dutch tax authority. I once once tried giving employees equity (while also giving salary). The tax authority was like: you can't give them equity for free, they have to buy it from you. I asked why, because I never bought my own stocks. They said: because they're carrying none of the risk, so it's not a fair business transaction if they get it for free; they must pay for it and also pay taxes over the transaction.

Google has your WhatsApp "E2E" private key by default -- meaning it is NOT end-to-end encrypted. Telegram's E2E Secret Chats have no such backdoor.
