Diet as a temporary change of eating habits obviously fails.

Basically all of the secure messaging platforms have indicated that they will pull out of the UK rather than weaken the security model, if or when they are instructed to. That hasn’t changed either. What this may be politically is a way of the Government saying they won’t actually do it, while pretending that nothing has changed to make it look like it’s not a U-turn and pretending they’re not backing down. Hence their eagerness to pretend nothing is different.

As long as the messaging platforms don’t change their commitment then celebrating a small acknowledgement from the Government that the bill is basically unworkable is not a huge issue.

I've never done standup but am a big fan and want to try at some point. I'm glad you mentioned your experience, this thread made me think of the show "Kill Tony" (a podcast where randomly selected comedians do 60 seconds). The quality of comedians ranges from terrible to excellent, but I feel watching those terrible performances has taught me more about the art form than I could have learned only watching headliners who've perfected the craft. The line between weirding everyone out and making them laugh is a fine one, and it helps to see many examples of people failing to fall on the right side.
I think this is kind of a silly thing to say. It's a high risk path to bring in senior leadership - it means you don't have anyone internal you think is good. So it's not surprising when the move fails, whether that external hire was from amazon or anywhere else.
As development works in stages based on the last one, I would assume gene theft just doesn't work on a beetle genome background. You would have to change development from the egg onwards to mimic the termite, essentially turning the beetle into a termite proper.

"such as Fingerspitzengefühl, Wanderlust, Zeitgeist, or Schadenfreude, but why Umwelt?"

Wanderlust, zeitgeist and schadenfreude are all English borrow words. Fingerspitzengefühl isn't (too complicated) and umwelt might well have just started to wriggle its way in!

I love a good Germanic compound word as much as the next anglophone but it needs to be mostly pronounceable on sight to stand a chance of being co-opted. That's one reason why the delightful sounding gewerbegebiet won't replace industrial zone.

Umwelt is suitably short and subtly different from environment. I suggest we nick it.

No unified Germany, which it only became after WW1, would have meant the German states were up for grabs by what ever large powered had territorial ambitions. And how something like that plays out was demostrated by the 30 Years War.

Austria was very willing to go to war in Serbia alone, it did help that Germany wanted to go to war with Russia. And Russia was very willing to go to war with both, Germany and Austria. After all so, as I said earlier, reasons for war in Europe were plenty. And everyone thought these wars would have been quick affairs like the war of 1870. Turned out everybody was wrong.

Regarding potential history if Germany didn't unite, I do not speculate. Especially since I doubt history would have been any better anyway.
Agreed, frequently "newer and better software" simply isn't and for something that you rely upon, such as audio processing software or image/film editing tools, cannot be left to the whims of tech companies who have proved themselves over and over again to be unworthy custodians of these important tools. It's better to get a hardware+software combination that works and then just use that forever without modifying it. It will always perform as well as it did on day one, it's only pesky updates that make computers slower.

Yes it is hypocrisy because Norway claims to be a green country ignoring all the emissions from the fossil fuel industry and the oil and gas exported. They use these petty schemes and policies to project themselves as green while the big issue is ignored.

Tamagotchi are an ingenious psychological and social gambit, paving
the way for smartphones. An electronic dependent, halfway between a
doll and a game that hooks into the formative maternal and caring
instincts of a child, almost 20 years before the modern smartphone
(1996 -> 2016). Don't feed it? It dies. Fail to socialise it? It gets
lonely for friends. B.J Fogg eat your heart out!

Now we grew up into mums and dads with adult Tamagotchi, always hungry
for a battery charge, requiring constant attention, even distracting
us from our real children.

This is one of the lesser seen dangers of AI in personal tech. Not
that it will become a dominating , directing force, but that it will
become something so deeply needy. Something in which we indulge all
our affections instead of with real people.

This is a dumbass discussion that only non-programmers engage in.

An engine and its facilities are as different as different programming languages. No programmer in their right mind would recommend taking a 1M+ line codebase written in C++ and porting it to Scala or something just for kicks.

Gamebryo has been refined for the production of Bethesda RPGs for literal decades, there is no better engine for producing games in that genre. Porting to a new engine would require rebuilding all those features for almost zero gain.

Not everywhere is suitable for pumped hydroelectric - relatively few places have dams or are dam suitable.

You can achieve the same goal, if not so elegantly, if you define a node process that processes HTTP POSTs by evaling the body of the request to replace the previous handling function. In practice you'd quickly want to post a function that behaves normally. However you could also define a function that does something "normal" but has a code path for continually redefining the function.

As exotic as this sounds, this is very similar to what web-browsers do with script src tags, especially from 3rd parties. The page is saying "Hey let me eval a function that can do whatever it wants in this context. I trust you!" Most webdevs don't consider this a threat vector!

It's entirely possible. And it doesn't have to be 10 degrees.

With the way the law is going the UK could demand that Tech providers provide backdoors into end-to-end encryption.

The providers can refuse.

The UK can then demand that such apps are not available in the UK.

HOWEVER ... the providers can build WASM equivalents that run in the phones browser.
These can be available elsewhere in the world, and there is no way to stop UK residents from installing them.
If there is no other way to have end-to-end encrypted messaging, some provider WILL offer this ... and they'll make it pretty slick.
You can try prosecute each user (not much chance of success).

Legislation that fights well implemented secrecy will always eventually loose, as the government becomes just one more hostile actor, which the tech is already set up to protect against.

If the government pushes too hard, all that happens is that encrypted messaging moves out of app stores into the open internet ... and then, not only can they not see the content, they can barely see who is using it.
The Axis didn't exist in WW1, that was the Central Powers Germany, Austria and the Ottomans. You see how two of those didn't exist anymore during WW2? And the Entente, there were no Allies neither during WW1, included Japan and Italy. Go figure.

And there is nothing morally relativist about stating the fact that the "guilt question" of WW1 is very, very different from WW2. The Versaille Treaty made that answer very simple, too simple and too one sided. Understably at the time for sure, but it doesn't hold up to proper analysis.

Once the Balkan powder keg blew up, everyone declared war. Which at that time was custom, ever since people tend to just send armies right away. So whether or not you are a soldier fighting an enemy on his or your soil is an academic question, when you are officially at war.

Do no, it doesn't even work remotely for WW1. Unless of course, you oversimplify things and have your judgement clouded by WW2.
That could be, though it's likely to be location specific. Areas with good hydroelectric might just have steady pricing -- solar during the day, hydro at night.

EV owners often get reduced rates for charging at night; that could go away. That's an argument in favor of electrification of our major highways: if cars and trucks can charge while in motion, that shifts their time of maximum energy consuption to the daylight hours when people do most of their driving, and which better aligns with solar production. You might even have highways more-or-less directly powered by adjacent solar farms. Fortunately highways and solar farms both have reasons to exist in sparsely-populated countryside.
Most roads use bitumen (a heavy oil fraction) which AFIK less harmful in a long term than BPA containing plastic. Oil contain some harmful for health compounds (in small amounts) but they AFIK degrade in then environment much faster than BPA.
Climate change is probably a bigger issue in the West than elsewhere because the developing world is too busy working to reach the same level of education / wealth / comfort. Maybe it's a little like how economic growth tends to level off birth rates. Once you reach a certain level of comfort you have time to worry about other things than mere survival. Like climate change.

> it was Bismark's successor who wrecked the private non-aggression deal between Russia and Germany by initially agreeing to its continuation and then suddenly pulling out.

They pulled out because it was doomed. Germany had to choose between Russia and A-H, and that choice was made well before Bismarck's retirement, at least since the Berlin conference.

From that point, the Russian-German alliance was a walking-dead. There are russian sources citing frustration and depreciating the alliance before Germany formally broke it.

Sieve: An Email Filtering Language (RFC 5228)
Hi Alex, I’ve updated the README with a bit more information.

0 is actually an unbindable port, so nix:0 is just an arbitrary string that is unlikely to have conflicts. The Kubelet needs to be configured with —image-service-endpoint to use the nix-snapshotter gRPC socket to handle the “PullImage” RPC. There we can take over resolving the image reference when it’s prefixed with nix:0.
Is there any legitimate reason to avoid having it?
It needn't be perfect at first, just better than nothing (fool some of the eyes, some of the time e.g. in low-light conditions) and a gradient. See Richard Dawkins' chapter "Do good by Stealth" in River Out of Eden https://wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Out_of_Eden#Do_good_by_stea...
I think it's really interesting to watch how poor performing CEOs have been through this period. The work from home decisions, and the subsequent hiring of remote workers with no thought of the long term was a massive mistake. It's just a pure example of CEOs operating at a very low level of competence. No strategic plan for what the business looks like in 2 years time, no forward planning of how these decisions might bind your hands. No, the stock market was up because of stimulus so these companies all just threw money out the door.

Now we're on the other side of it and they've basically all admitted they just massively fucked up. So what's next? A thoughtful and long term strategic discussion about how we organise distributed teams (because let's face it, most of these teams are distributed geographically even if they're all office based), a serious discussion about how workers are willing to trade some level of flexibility for compensation and loyalty?

Nah, instead we're going to insultingly insist that all our workers are lazy assholes and tell them "Forget the deal we made, you can't trust our word. See you on monday".

Also, Bonus points as Andy Jassy to just whenever someone points out your doing something with absolutely no evidence it's correct just shout "Yeah well AWS!". Beyond parody.
