The semantic space that "lager" covers in German is around storage/collection: so it covers concepts that in English are distinguished by worlds like "camp" (storage of people; and is therefore applied to prison camps) and "warehouse". Lager beer is matured in cold storage (like a cellar), hence "Lagerbier" just means "beer kept in storage", roughly.

Because of differing semantic coverage, a lot of words between German and English are not 1:1 mappings. A reverse example is that in English we often speak of generic entrances, while in German you would normally distinguish between an entrance you drive through ("Einfahrt") versus walk ("Eingang").
With your data and metadata still flowing through Meta. No thanks.

Multi-phone is a nice feature though, it's something I like about Telegram, Wire, and Session. It would be nice if Signal had this feature but I would prefer accounts without a telephone number or email address (like Session) first.
I agree. When I first landed from the link, I thought, "Where's the beauty?"

As I scrolled, like you, I found I was becoming impressed with the diversity. (Norway seems to be trying to win some kind of prize that has not been created yet.)

More scrolling and I'm thinking, "I would love to 3D model these and resin-print kits so that you can build them, paint them and (?)... display them off the coast of your model railroad."

I think you hit on something with "arbitrary choices"...

There is a kind of "design" that is devoid of design. I had this realization 50 years ago when I first tried to rebuild a carburetor and had left it on the dining room table — when I returned home to find the indeterminately-shaped thing in an environment flush with design I was struck by the utilitarian of its design. Every facet, hole, angle there serving only the utility of the part, likely cost savings and ease of manufacturing being the guiding principle, not aesthetics at all.

Likewise, these bizarre oil rigs look like the fever dream of an overworked architectural engineer. Kowloon Walled City vibes....
Depiction is not endorsement. Do you think Leonardo DiCaprio is a racist for playing a slave owner in Django Unchained? Is Christoph Waltz a Nazi for playing Hans Landa?
I agree with your first point. As to your second, it’s notable that Nigerian Americans have greater mobility even than similarly educated whites: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/23780231211001... (“Controlling for age, education, and disability, the wages of second-generation Nigerian Americans have reached parity with those of third- and higher generation whites.”)
Interesting point,

for the argument from authority example you gave, it would be problematic if someone said "well I'm only going to listen to the architect about the structural integrity of the building, who's had 40 years experience over this novice <5YOE structural engineer who probably doesn't know what he's talking about"

Another common example that I remember was back when I used to watch Sam Harris talk about religion, and he was always told that he could not criticize religion because he wasn't a theologist or an expert in the field!

What I think is beautiful about our formal models is that it allows us to focus on the claims that are made, instead of who those claims are coming from! That allows us to get to truth better than if we didn't have this framework.

And couldn’t they already do it over the internet?

Presumably they mean doctors can have an internet connection in remote places. But that’s not the same as being far from their patient.
Another overlooked "feature" I see on GM cars. The "reverse" lights are turned on when the car is in park. Not sure why, but it's training me to partially ignore backup lights in parking lots, because they no longer mean a vehicle is going to back up.
> No wireless technology has been a bigger flop than 5G when comparing the hype to the eventual reality.

Well that’s obviously not true. I was at the launch event for WiMAX which had huge hype and now you’ve probably never heard of it.

5G actually exists and works. In my home (admittedly near a tower) it’s faster than my gigabit Fios over wifi.
Security issue and exploitable bug in Trust Wallet's PRNG generator
If this piqued anyone's interest in oil/gas rigs, an engineering disasters podcast I like ("Well, there's your problem") covered a couple of North Sea rig catastrophes in detail that may interest you:

- Piper Alpha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVaMNHQQCs0

- Byford Dolphin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azThd0R7Bt0

Just as a quick content warning: engineering disasters involving loss of life are not exactly a jolly affair, but the Byford Dolphin ep has a few grisly details that make it unsuitable for the faint of heart.

edit: Just thought I should clarify why this popped into my head because it might seem a little morbid otherwise. I'm from the North East of Scotland where there have been a few of these disasters that hit the headlines, and my dad and plenty of friends worked in oil. This meant I got a lot of exposure to this, so "oil rig" is connected with "disaster" in my head, and now decades later finding out why these things happened was fascinating.
Is there an estimate on how many COBOL jobs are out there still? And are there still apprenticeship/training programs for learning COBOL?
I always advocate a good hybrid approach; flex fiscal policy and aggressively tax bad behavior. Eg "Expected value removed from economy is $100m, govt. wants 20% of that". The incentive would push companies to keep infrastructure operational, albeit with a low budget, because it would be cheaper than paying a decently-sized one-time tax. Also if fewer people use the service, in 5-10 years the market value could be $1m, again making it cheaper to decommission so long as you can show it isn't being used.
Based on your comment, I'll give SNW a try.

I had not bothered based on 2 seasons of Discovery and 3 episodes of Picard. I just went back to DS9.

I think people over-estimate the cost of doing this and lack experience with the benefits. I've been doing this for ~20 years now, and when comparing our code to that of a few customers that use databases in a more "chaotic" manner, it is easy to see how quickly it pays off.
And since everyone likes to talk about how great and magic the WASM sandbox happens to be, who cares if C is being used.
Good for you. I mean that without sarcasm. I most certainly am not and don’t consider myself Anglo-Saxon in any way although English is my mother tongue. I would consider referring to New Zealand (for example - not my home country) as “Anglo-Saxon” quite insulting to Māori.

But I disagree with your last claim - there most certainly are racial overtones associated with it. Nobody would ever refer to Barack Obama, MLK, Kāterina Mataira, Rishi Sunak as Anglo-Saxon simply because having white skin and being off English stock is understood as being implied.
I feel similarly. There are long movies where I don’t even notice (Carlito’s Way, Gangs of New York) and movies where I definitely notice (The Irishman) and short movies where I check the clock to see when it ends (Lego Movie 2).
Account for historic slavery, disenfranchisement, etc.

Not in the article,but there were dialogue changes in the 20th anniversary edition too:

If you're using Windows at this point, you must have decided that this sort of telemetry is acceptable for you. It's about the same level as the stuff you can't disable in current versions of that OS.
A geofence warrant is essentially a dragnet warrant: is there any precedent for that being legal in the US?
You look at the 19th century and instead of calling it neoliberalism, it was just called liberalism. It wasn't called neo- because they weren't trying to revive a discredited ideology, that's all. But it was still a contested position.

Now you attribute the mass production and commercialisation of culture to a technical development: this is not completely correct (trinkets are as old as trade, but might not have always been so affordable), but it's much closer to the truth than some kind of false racial essentialism. There's nothing anglosaxon about it and there's nothing English-speaking about it.
It's not entirely passive, you have to have a pump that moves the water through the loop, but it can cool the house without running a heatpump, with just passive heat exchange. Or with the heatpump running at a minimal level because when it is really hot outside, the ground is relatively comfortably cold.

When slow response times are because of software, they not only slow but variable.

If you're accustomed to 90ms delay and the adjustment doesn't come in 250ms, then it pulls your attention, and even your eyes. "What's wrong with my volume knob" shouldn't occur to someone driving a vehicle.
You could do that with LTE a decade ago. It is more than fast enough for 4K video streaming, and typical latencies are below 50 ms. Most users would not notice any difference between LTE and 5G.
And? The opposition organizes on Telegram, and it's a way bigger target.
Nope. Greed.

It costs way more to build out physical ergonomic interior controls when they are permanent fixtures for several model years and any changes require new physical elements to be created and fit (and designed for mass production).

Software can be updated over the air, so there's less pressure on engineers to get it perfect.

The solution is not to point fingers and guess, but instead measure and revise. Study the amount of time drivers' eyes are off the road for routine tasks, develop acceptable limits and enforce them.

Software engineers of any ilk are just as capable of following sensible guidelines if everyone else in the company is obliged to as well.
To misunderstand this word, OP probably speaks German, which means statistically they probably drink more beer than you.
I am using it with specific sequencing for different apps. One of the more strange use -cases is the combination of BTT and touch-bar-simmulator with Figma. Adding functionality to my vertical mouse and trackballs with different profiles for apps and so on.
It means you're drilling a hole and dropping sensors down it to get a better idea of whether a particular location would be profitable to extract oil/gas from. Production platforms are semi-permanent structures that do the extracting once oil/gas have been found. (My knowledge of the field is pretty old but AFAIK, things still work pretty much the same way--although I assume seismic tools locate oil/gas reservoirs without drilling have gotten a lot better.)
It's not an argument, it's marketing to non-techies.

Put it simply you have to sell more phones than you did last year (selling less, or even the same amount, isn't enough). If you don't have features to justify that (which you don't, as the very fast smartphone evolution has mostly stagnated), you make them up. 5G being one of them.
A good initiative in my opinion. As for oifjsidjf's criticism below, neither are they suggesting that a government would be in charge nor are all government services bad.

> To this day I believe there is quite little cooperation between the Russian government and Telegram

I find it fascinating that Telegram is (and was back when they tried to block it) the most popular messenger and possibly even social network in Russia. Dmitry Medvedev, for crying out loud, writes his thuggish notes on Telegram, from which they then get propagated by mass media. Ramzan Kadyrov, too, posts to Telegram. It's so embarrassing to see after their attempt to block it for some reason.
I think it’s ridiculous that this of all things is what has riled you up this much.
> If I wanted to, I can get Disney+ and regular TV, while I provide Netflix and Amazon Prime in return.

Yes, the UCSD p-system virtual machine -- basically the same idea as the JVM and .NET but decades earlier -- compile to a virtual machine and deploy to anywhere you had the VM deployed. It was the basis of the Apple Pascal system which was basically an operating system onto itself (on the Apple II, it was used most famously for the early dungeon crawler Wizardry)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCSD_Pascal
4G can comfortably stream 1080p video with low latency. What does 5G being to this scenario?
Totally agree. Various people seem to be out of touch with modern developments, misinformed, or are being disingenuous (as really advocates for a competing language). A lot of the discussions surrounding Pascal are as if Object Pascal (and its dialects), Delphi, Lazarus, or Oxygene (RemObjects) don't exist or never happened.
Well, T-Mobile is just way too expensive anyway. I pay 25€ for unlimited with Vodafone. It's not the best network but it works surprisingly well where I live. I get ~500mbps at work and ~300mbps at home. Much better upgrade than the one from 3G to 4G.
yes, that's what I was trying to say, thank you.

there is no reason that a light touch couldn't produce haptic feedback as you move your finger around, so you can feel where buttons are, and when you find the button you want you simply remove your finger and tap again. not immediately intuitive, no, but not difficult to learn. as usual, a tap on a button at any time would simply press the button.

i'm a bit sad that experimentation isn't being done, here. I feel like there's a lot of unexplored stuff with regards to touch screens with haptic feedback.
Your constant blaming of bad engineers is s clear invitation to point out that you’re incredibly incredibly naive to think that software people are sitting unencumbered by wider business realities and are just deciding to do a Bad Job.

“Judge talent at its best and character at its worst.” - Lord Acton

This is the only thought I have a bone with. Character is something that’s built over time, especially as people get older then tend to mild out and see the bigger picture becoming more emphatic to other needs.

Rest however is wonderful advice, cheers.
IDK, it sounds OK to me: you make plans for meeting, you'll decide what to do on the spot, "improvising".

Meeting is definitly not done spontaneously. Neither is choosing the activity. The choice, however, may be spontaneous.

The introduction of the new spectrum has relieved the pressure on overloaded cell sites, and we’ve seen cellular speeds rise significantly.
The same "green" politicians who forced the shutdown of a perfectly good fleet of carbon-free nuclear reactors, meaning Germany's dependence on coal is increasing, now more than a third. All the energy-saving software in the world won't cancel that out.

German Green party "environmentalism" is completely fraudulent, they should be international pariahs. Any "sustainability" conference sponsored by them is a farce and should be boycotted, same as if it were sponsored by Exxon or Shell.
When I rode from John o' Groats to Land's End[1] I remember riding past a firth on the east coast of Scotland with a load of oil rigs ready for either refitting or decommissioning.

It was crazy surreal. The landscape is an amazing backdrop anyway but these things are just so big, so weird looking and so out of place... it felt like being party to an alien invasion.

It made me think of the John Christopher classic The Tripods.

Of course not. It might send your medical records too.

It will send the IP regardless of whether telemetry is enabled. But they do claim that no PII is stored for telemetry. Whenever the topic of Telemetry comes up I try to keep to the discussion about properly anonymous telemetry, simply because that’s where there is any discussion at all. If anyone transmit or stores anything they aren’t entitled to it’s obviously always wrong so that’s not an interesting discussion.

Dropbox of course already stores PII (your files) but that doesn’t mean they can do so for other info or other purposes.

You're so lucky! You get the opportunity to learn how to deal with the stress and uncertainty of life voluntarily at your own pace. That's great, and will help you in the future. (No sarcasm: I had to learn these lessons after getting MS my last semester of grad school which is the life version of learning to look both ways after being hit by an 18-wheeler.)

Something that I've found really helpful to remember is that human beings as an organism are made to withstand stressful periods. Observe how your body and thoughts react to the stress. Don't try to get rid of the anxiety: Acknowledge it. Planning can help as others have mentioned, but be careful not to fall into the trap of trying to plan for any eventuality: You'll be so busy planning that you won't get to heal from your burnout.

Accept the anxiety and stress and find out what activities ground you/calm you down. I recommend doing this before leaving if possible. The big thing is to learn to trust yourself and accept that the anxiety exists because you worry for your future - however, you're doing this for your future: If you continue on being burnt out it's worse for you in the long run. Your anxiety and stress is trying to protect you.

I wasn't able to just stop working, but I walked away from a 'good' job and worked retail for a while. Having the time to focus on myself, who I am, what I value, and why I wasn't happy before have put me in a much better place going forward. So that's where my advice is coming from - grains of salt etc.
False, I will rephrase: it is a regulatory requirement under the GDPR to disclose the fact that you are collecting data, to provide a detailed and easily accessible specification of the information contents, a precise definition of how this data is processed and used, and your legal justification(s) for doing so, and to do so for each separate type or kind of collection involving individuals, regardless of whether this includes any PII or not.

The few exceptions that exist are only applicable in cases where there is no potentially identifiable data collected at all, which is obviously not the case here.

Here is a very accessible (although non-official) GDPR resource that I've come across: https://gdpr-info.eu/

Obligatory "I am not a lawyer" disclaimer :)
From past episodes of the Privacy, Security, and OSINT Podcast (hosted by a former FBI special agent) EVERYONE returned by a geofence warrant will be listed in the investigation whether exonerated or not, which then, because of public records laws, means the data becomes public and innocent names are mixed with criminal records (and HR background check companies don't always filter out names in criminal reports who aren't charged with anything).

Context matters. "Those workers" clearly refers to the workers at "a contracted Fiber retail shop in Missouri", not the Cognizant employees.

The NLRB regional director has ruled that Google must negotiate with AWU if AWU wins the election (which they did by a landslide.)

Of course, Google is appealing this decision.

Backup cameras are the unholy trinity of upper middle class moral panic and shirking of responsibility, government Doing Something (TM) and people's inability to accept small but concentrated bad things versus large diffuse and hard to measure bad things.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but remember 1600 ppm is only 0.16%, so that's impressive sensitivity. 4x atmospheric.

When I was living on the streets, St. Vincent de Paul continually finagled for me some gift certificates to a 24-hour burger joint.

That's fine. Buttons are good and well-understood.

I suspect that for myself, a fixed knob or set of fixed physical buttons is not the only interface that I could use without looking.

I'd like to see more experimentation, here. I feel like there's unexplored territory.
Damn, comparing people who are intrigued by topics deemed taboo by certain moral standards to cancer is ... quite something else.

How about putting up a curated model for the public which is easy to access and a less curated / more free model behind the API with a bunch of boolean switches.
Or any other impulse / idea that doesn't label (any) people as cancer.
Let's settle on "state funded" saying "publicly funded" for media of foreign states would sound as if they were domestically funded.
I think it's the liability that matters, not the certification -- which usually translates to "X years in a government facility, pretending to learn something which may or may not be misguided and out of date."
Yep. And they’ve pretty much got the track record to prove that they can.
