Not to mention the fact its not dealt with in high school as a compulsory credit (where all the knowledge, physical, and beaureaucratic resources are provided rather than the private hell the system has become) is suggestive of how big a scam and an intentionally weaponized social determinant it is.

It is actually quite difficult and hard to ensure one can successfully move through it once you have to pay for everything and you're "on your own" procedurally. You may never actually get yourself out of that infinite loop and it severely limits consequent job and economic outcomes that feeds right back in to that compunding the stickiness of the entire state.

The Detection and Attribution of Northern Hemisphere Land Surface Warming
Using rural-only temp data (that removes artificial urban bias) reduces the post-1850 warming trend from 0.89°C to 0.55°C per century.

Using a solar forcing (TSI) dataset neglected by the IPCC allows TSI to explain up to 87% of modern warming.

Talking about the whole labour market is not useful in this case. There are labour shortages in trades, because they do not pay well, so Germans these days prefer to go to university. One of these "trades" is nursing, btw. Other such trades include elderly care.

The German labour market is also very peculiar. Employers are very risk averse so even though they might be lacking personnel they are not willing to hire easily, partly because firing people is also not easy.
Then there is the obvious hurdle: most jobs require German.

Finally, in many job markets, like IT for example, there is a shortage of skilled professionals and an abundance of new graduates. And oftentimes employers are not willing to take on a new graduate and train them. So for example there are a number of C++ positions looking for people with 5+ years of professional experience which won't give a new graduate a chance.
Yes, and thats my point.

AI wont include it, user wont know it should be GPL, developer wont know it was stolen.

This is a whole can of problematic worms
One days pay for one days work seems fair. The electrician that wired the building did far more important work, their work is evident in every single frame of the film, but doesn’t expect payment in perpetuity.
The reality does not match the plans. The German immigration process is hampered by infuriatingly slow and opaque bureaucracy, difficulty of finding housing, and the language barrier.

The immigration office is completely failing to process its current workload, and everyone is wondering how they're supposed to handle even more applicants.

It takes 3-6 months to get a work visa in Berlin these days. People get fired before they even start because employers give up on them. You can't get an appointment there so a bunch of people are stuck in the country with an expired residence permit, often for months. More and more people are suing the state for failure to act.

Then people can't find a flat. The housing crisis has dramatically worsened in Berlin and a lot of people are profiteering from the situation. It has gotten absurd in Berlin.

Then parents can't find a Kindergarten for their children.

It's a never-ending bureaucratic nightmare. Nothing ever just works. For immigrants, it's just worse.

And for what? The payoff just isn't there. You don't come for the great food, the great weather or the warm people. You don't come here because it's easy and things just work. You don't come here for the salaries.

There's a labour shortage because the salaries don't match the job requirements or the cost of living, the system does not do its job, and the reality does not match the policies set by the government.
Nobody would willingly give up their moat.

Isn’t that the point, though? It’s a hedge against inflation, a low risk, static asset to keep in place of cash.

Well volume wasn't the question here (but yes, it's hard to beat anything Chinese or Indian w/o being global). As for literacy most illiterates should be able to use Swish.

Nr 2 though is something that I think might be a reverse though, looking globally mobile payments seems to have been a hit in markets with less well functioning traditional money and credit/debit card markets.

In Sweden cards's (most often debit) with tap-to-pay still rules for most b2c cases like established restaurants, stores and anything with slightly higher value. Swish was mostly started out to facilitate non-commercial person-to-person cases but has now displaced most lower value cash usage (person to person, small vendors, temporary venues).

I frankly don't even know if I have physical money in my wallet anymore since.. well I've not used physical money in a couple of years now iirc.

Overall, it is shoddy writing. A pet peeve of mine is on display:

"The victim suffered critical injuries but died after reaching the hospital."

The use of "but" here is confusing. It's the wrong conjunction. The author meant "and," as if to say "there were critical injuries and the outcome you expected was what happened," rather than "there were critical injuries, and contrary to what you would expect to have happened, what you expected to have happened did indeed happen."

I don't see how you don't see how this all-or-nothing approach as coercive. Maybe if I change the actors it'll become more apparent to you:

"You can sell your widget in our jurisdiction, but only if you agree to our laws." "Ok."

The power imbalance and lack of choice is what makes it not great. Clearly, you see the power of the state, but somehow ignoring the power of corporates over individuals; they might not be legally able to end your life, but they can ruin it (e.g. how recently-convicted eBay executives hounded their victim, or thr list of dead companies that "agreed" to work with Apple or Walmart).

I am unashamedly for using state power as a counterbalance to corporate power. Unregulated profit-seeking has never resulted in good outcomes for humans.

This is false, there are thousands of examples of products 'in the wild' containing trade secrets that are difficult enough to figure out by reverse engineering that they are effectively considered such, even by industry experts.

That's not how trade secrets work. If you give me a device, and I figure out how that part of it goes together, the trade secret dies. There is no protection except an attempt at secrecy, and once someone is retail sold hardware, they may do anything they choose with it, thus the idea of trying to maintain a secret, when it is in someone else's hands, is silly.

Also by definition they cannot be 'invalidated' since trade secrets are never 'validated' in the first place, unlike patents, copyrights, or trademarks.

Trade secrets are valid, until they no longer are. Copyright (in many jurisdictions) require no validation either, they're merely valid upon creation.

Tens of thousands at Burning Man told to conserve water and food
There are huge economic interests driving the tremendous advancements in mobile computing hardware and software. The same economic interests are leading to creation of things like private-access-tokens and web env integrity as a way to differentiate themselves and to protect their business models from external existential attacks on them.

The alternative economic business models have been applied to build open-source hardware and software stacks that preserve this sense of digital freedom. But the result is a stack with vastly inferior capabilities and experiences.

Now, someone can demand I want the capabilities and experience of the former with my notion of digital freedom. But unfortunately there's no economic model that would make that work and there aren't enough users who care deeply enough about this to create the economic motivation needed to force the change.

Most voluminous usage of Internet by most number of humans is not via web browser anymore. It is via mobile apps. This means more restrictive and intrusive things than WEI have already happened and they haven't noticed or didn't care.

In the late 2000s, we built a strong cryptography based privacy preserving secure mesh network and node software for organizing and sharing your personal digital collections (photos, videos, emails, documents, messages etc) and got no traction in the market. Nobody cared about the privacy and security aspects. A few years later unencrypted cloud backups and cloud hosted personal data services became not only normal and accepted but actually preferred and so we gave up on our vision. (We also got a nice and tidy exit via acquisition). Many years later, after many data breaches, Snowden revelations etc, some of us thought people would care now, but alas no, they still don't. Without this basic economic motive force, any such attempt to fight against this will miserably fail.
I agree with the GP,

When I play games I turn off Music, and skip cut scenes, I want to play a game not watch a movie. If i want a movie I watch a movie...

the FPS I only leave on sounds required for the game, and most of the time I have my own music, youtube or some podcast on in the background as i am playing.

For non-FPS games, I turn off the sound completely.

I suspect my style of game play is more common that you would believe.

If voice actors disappears from gaming, I would not notice at all.

Nah. I want to rule the world of course. But I would far rather setup a system of democracy to rule the world with everyone else than let some other bugger be king instead of me.

And I believe in actual government - government that builds roads to deliver food on, government that agrees ways to make researchers to discover medicines and hospitals and nurses to inject them, and governments that force companies to label their food with their ingredients (or their ISP adverts with their fees). I call this real government. not the arguing fools on TV. We can argue how much much of it is too much. We are. But I refuse utterly that "doing real government" is immoral, that any attempt to agree common standards is tyranny.

I believe that the real moral failing is to chip away at real government so
much that services collapse and harm is done to real people. We can look at failed states like Niger or Haiti in horror, but we can also look at the mismatched life expectancy across our own rich countries and ask why?

I reject the idea that we can roll back government so much we can lose driving licenses and just be more careful out there, that we can ignore food safety standards and just look at the restaurant kitchen carefully. I reject libertarianism because it knows as much about the real world as central command economics.

I want government run on empirical data with justice and equality at its heart.

I am happy to accept the grey areas, will stand up for democracy will argue we can always do better. But buggered if it's because I secretly yearn to control your life.
Sure, but that is not the common situation.

One advantage of everything being deep intractable mud - mud is soft! So less chance of compound fractures from a fall at least.

Though vehicle recovery is going to be epic. And that is a good way to break/kill people if not done very carefully.

Some clarification here: when JoeAltmaier made his comment, the article contained a sentence that said, "They [Grainger] wanted the bridge torn down!"

After reading that comment and other comments like it online, I decided that it was casting the Grainger team in a worse light than I intended to, so I removed that sentence. The people at Grainger don't like the bridge, but it's not like they are out petitioning for its destruction. Even if they were, I would understand where they were coming from. My article romanticizes the bridge a bit, but it's not a particularly nice bridge to walk over today.
> The key analysis was a 2 × 2 mixed ANOVA with Time (Pre vs. Post) as the repeated (within subjects) measure and Group (Control vs. Treated) as the across-subjects measure. Given the matching of other variables including age, gender and years of education, we did not include these variables as covariates in the model. A two-sided P less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. We used SAS9.4 for all statistical analyses.

Can someone explain what the appeal of solo freelancing is in the age of bountiful remote work?

My typical day as a remote worker is not that different from the one described: a couple hours of work per day and mostly leisure the rest of the time. And I probably still make more money than a freelancer. Consistently too. Is chasing down new clients all the time and working on multiple projects really that desirable to people? I think this article is just cope.
Mine didn't forget either. My grandmother almost died of it as a child. She was sent to a sick ward where patients were seen as a lost cause and not much care was provided. If you survived, good for you. Or if not, too bad but no surprise. She was there for a long time but eventually her body fought it off.

Also, all her hair fell out. Apparently this can happen with high fevers. When she went back to school, she wore a hat so she wouldn't get teased about her bald head.
Not in a narrative-like way. You can't get Ahsoka's long backstory by just having her pose looking sad holding a lightsaber.
This seems related to NTK literature i.e. wide neural nets behave like kernel regression. NTK is a great tool but a notable weakness is kernel view doesn't explain how the model learns new features. Transformer is also pretty different from standard neural architectures because tokens interact with each other through attention. Our goal was capturing this interaction and we believe there is a clean insight on feature learning: Attention is running a token-selection procedure by implementing an SVM that separates tokens.
No it’s not. I use a tool called EA Inspections Extended extensively. There are a couple tools sorta-kinda like it in theory but really no comparison. This keeps your code very neat and clean and automates the cleanup. You’d spend a massive amount of time doing what it does manually.

Can I remind you what you claimed?

I don't remember specific actor adding much to my experience ever.

If that's true, maybe you've only played games without quality voice actors, and they should have tapped into some SAG-AFTRA talent. Because if you had played any of the games I mentioned, it would be absurd to claim that none of voice actors added much to the experience.

To answer you new question, "Are you seriously telling me there is absolutely no as skilled people available outside SAG-AFTRA?"

No, I never said anything at all like that. I am only saying voice actors can add value and be memorable.

You could find a comparably talented person outside the SAG-AFTRA, who could do an amazing job. But that new person would also add to the experience, be memorable, and deserve recognition and remuneration.

Dry lake beds/playas tend to work differently. The caliche/clay tends to crust over and keep the fun, nasty goo around just under the surface for a lot longer than anyone expects. If someone goes out onto it, they can break through into stuff that doesn’t support any weight.

Kind of like if it was thin ice, but it’s actually (mildly) caustic mud.

That said, never tested this on that specific playa. It’s also usually somewhat location dependent even within a specific lakebed.

Don’t be surprised though if it takes months (next year? If there are followup storms) for some of these vehicles to be extracted.

Rule #0: Be born into a privileged family. Your parents will raise you in a wealthier suburb where the schools are good and you network with other similarly privileged kids. The crime rate is low, so you’re less likely to end up injured or killed by violence. Air pollution is also likely lower, so less odds of death by asthma.

Privilege gets you into college, where you study with other even more privileged kids, obtaining a designation that further cements your advantages. From this basis of privilege, your privileged ancestors will perhaps gift you some capital with which you can start your portfolio or purchase a home.

You now begin you career and can start following the other steps to maintain your advantage.

I'm not sure if it's possible with UPI but I know in Kenya many people will get a second, cheaper phone to use for m-pesa (mobile money), I think partially so the battery doesn't die on it but it could also reduce the types of calls you're talking about, or at least make it obvious that someone is calling your mobile money number.

Is that possible with UPI? Or even a dual sim? I'm not sure if the account is tied to the person or the number.
