Chrome has this built in; I don't use an extension. There's a "Share" icon on the right side of the URL bar, with "Copy link", "Send to your devices", "Create QR code", "Cast", and "Save page as...".

Nah, that's why you have product managers. I would have talked to this stakeholder for an hour and realized the solution is not to build another excel.
Volvo's been owned by Geely for a few years now, so any weird issues are inherited from them using Geely's home market technology. A lot of Chinese luxury automotive stuff seems to be looks first function second and it's been hitting Volvo hard with the S60 and S90.
That’s the problem with making jokes like that in such a position. It makes you seem like a piece of trash, even if you aren’t.

But, they can assume he is all that as much as you can assume he was joking and isn’t a bad person. You can’t prove your side, it’s merely an interpretation given your own biases. Just like people who call him narcissistic or a sadist are basing that on theirs.
I wouldn't set the law aside. Do philosophy over the ethics if you want, but only after you are sure to have the legal side covered, because this one can ruin your finances and your life in general.

Unless you're based and incorporated in Iran, Iraq or North Korea, your country has signed the Berne Convention and has implemented in law some level of copyright protection that almost certainly makes the distribution of those books illegal.

If you're not taking very careful technical and legal measures to remain anonymous, you can get in serious legal trouble for breaking the law.

What is the upside for you? Companies like Uber, Google, etc break the law all the time. But they profit billions from that and then pay millions in fines and lawyers. What's your game? Are you profiting enough to make sense - financially-wise - to break the law?

Last but not least, I wouldn't play with lawyers' personalities trying to make them "please" you. Respect them, otherwise, they'll do whatever they can to make you regret it. And believe me, they can do a lot against you. These people are evil. Don't cross their paths.

I also came to the conclusion that I should try iNaturalist. It doesn't appear to be especially lively, but I did find several "nearby" observations of what I can only assume is the same beetle, and one had been labeled (by the uploader) harpalus sinicus. (Context: middle of Shanghai.)

The harpalus identification seems pretty safe. Identifying the species from a photo seems like a hopeless task, so further identification would presumably have to rely on background knowledge like "there's only one common harpalus species in your area".

The strawberry seed beetle, as far as I can tell, is in fact nearly visually identical, so in some sense Seek made a respectable guess.
It is not "same old rhetoric" if it is in fact true. There are many publicly known examples of Chinese Espionage, including fake "police" departments in SF coercing nationals and naturalized citizens alike to commit espionage.

Author here, simulation 16 shows that money printing, and tax have common effects. The state can replace one with another. Here the 65% tax is replaced with 10% tax plus inflation, i.e., giving new money to public servants. The new money creation decreases the value of money owned by producing workers.

We could even remove the tax entirely, and still support the 3 public servants.
To be convinced you can look at each unit transaction and see that all resource are accounted for.

Another way to look at it, is that the QoL of producing workers is lower than if there was no public servants. Every resource a public servant has, is bought from a worker at some point, whether the money for the purchase comes from taxation or inflation.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

But if you're distributing the contents of these books, that's another story. You're pirating, not training AIs. It didn't end up well for the guys behind The Pirate Bay, unfortunately. They can find you. If they can't bust you for copyright infringement, they'll just make stuff up until they put you in jail. Especially if you offend their personalities.

I shared this because a CPA recently told me that very few people seem to know that this change is coming. It was the first I had heard of it and obviously doesn't impact most people. But it seemed like a big deal since it goes after those using anonymous shell companies to hide things.

However that ignores the externalities of PV and heat pumps manufacture, replacement and disposal so I think the argument is BS.

i'm sorry, which evolutionary geneticists? the 1 sentence in a nat geo article about the genomes being similar, or...

http://www.jabg.org/view/JABG_202303_02.pdf

from the looks of it, you found an inkling of confirmation and rolled with it. you think you got a science backing for your ideas, but nah, wrong. remind yourself when you read all the articles claiming "near identical DNA!" that human DNA is ~1.6% different from gorilla DNA. geneticists are seeing larger differences between domestic and wild cat species.
Another part of the challenge is overtime -- it ends up costing a lot to pay out time-and-a-half on an already fat paycheck. I think we should figure out some binding pre-commitment to forbid or at least minimize regular overtime. Something like "if > 50% of one employee's worth of overtime is required a new role must be opened instead of paying overtime".

I understand that unions like OT for their members (of course they would!) but as an employer it's insane to be handing it out as regularly as government employees get it.

Some of us lived to see Microsoft be found to be in violation of antitrust statutes and forced to break up only for them to become the behemoth they are today.

I have an original Pringle's can from the late 70s or whenever it was. (yes, it used to have an apostrophe in the name).

It contained 4.5 ozs of "newfangled potato chips" (I think they legally can't call them chips anymore). That works out to about 125grams give or take.

This site is kvetching that they are at 200 grams now.

Ps, my can doesn't have a UPC barcode on it because they hadn't been invented yet.

Sure, maybe under a controlled environment where candidate selection is a thing. I've seen some wild reactions in people who turned out to have undiagnosed bipolar disorder or border line personality disorder at the time. They all got diagnosed and treated at a later date so hooray for them. But goddamn, the serotonin dump from even a moderate amount of mdma triggered some intense episodes of mania. Hell, I bet you could use it as a means of diagnosis; it was so obvious in retrospect. Group of friends, chill environment, everyone taking about the same amount, good quality stuff and one person just losing their shit afterwards. Makes you suspect there's something not quite right with them..

A crucial difference is the US spying is for state use, whereas in China the state is deeply intermixed with industry. State industrial espionage is used for commercial competitive advantage. This is a huge structural and cultural difference.

For instance it’s hard to believe China bootstrapped BYD and GWM among others from green fields. They’ve been exfiltrating and transferring automotive technology for decades. Their products are often near duplicates of other brands - such as the fiat case:

https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/spot-the-difference-ca...

These aren’t cheap knock offs, they have a relatively high quality and with stolen R&D it’s easy to produce at a low cost - the cost can’t be explained by labor alone, as automakers outside China have access to similarly low cost labor.

Note, I don’t think China is incapable of making their own R&D at the same quality as anywhere else; they can. But they don’t when they don’t have to.

The next few decades will see a huge realignment as the decades of theft and forced transfer will begin to seriously pay off.
This story is about his anti counterfeiting exploits though, which usually requires skills not necessarily related to intellect. he was dutiful and unforgiving which is why he had some level of success in it.

gron gives you both the complete key and value in a single line (which you then grep). Directly grep-ing a specific column in a CSV file isn't very straightforward.
The very fact that you are this "riled up" about a plainly obvious statement such as I have made here only serves to validate my position.

Take a look at your statements and tell me you are arguing from a scientific standpoint and not one from your own personal political ideology. You cannot, in good faith, make this claim.
Wrong. The assertion is, they got the volume by buying it, not by becoming better.

I’ll cheers to that! It is important that we do not include words like “assigned female at birth” in any scientific writing because
I couldn't find information about dosage and regularity in the paper.

If it really is just a few sessions with enough time between then im ok with that.

But there should be enough scientific evidence that anything more is very dangerous.
Yeah, that makes it worse. Someone whose job it is to work on games (or at least, work with peope who make games) decided to burn their career over threatening their boss. And since it's someone who is an employee they can go postal or have accomplices.

I don't really care about the wide generalizations, I didn't make them and it's not productive to dwell on them. It's the internet, report and ignore. But I really hate how some people were downplaying this and saying it was a conspiracy all because they are mad at a CEO. Can we both hate corporate greed AND death threats, please?

Is it really espionage if it's not secret?
> What's your game? Are you profiting enough to make sense - financially-wise - to break the law?

Not at all. Hosting costs $130/mo, and I feel the sting each month. I'm not sure we'll even get enough donations to cover that, let alone have some kind of profit motive. But we wouldn't want to profit off the works anyway, or else we'd be no better than the corporations.

My game is to help people like you be able to train your own models. If I don't help you, who will? Companies will have the final say in what you're allowed to do on your own hardware, because they control the data. No data, no training.

The hard part is to balance this with doing the right thing. I'd like to figure out the right thing from first principles and by asking thoughtful people like you, rather than from fear of consequences.

As for consequences, we're being careful enough that it seems worth the risk. (You can read more about our precautions at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37346620.) But I agree that staying out of jail is preferable to being in one.
Take a breath and calm down. Triggered is supposed to be a meme, not reality.
Landscape irrigation isn't that common in a domestic setting here. We get plenty of rain normally, but in the (increasingly common) periods of drought, most people just let their lawns dry out and manually water the flowers.

Domestic fire sprinklers are also, sadly, quite uncommon. They've started to become more common in flats, particularly since Grenfell, but still, I've never had cause to touch the pipework for one. Fire safety in the UK is pretty poor compared to the USA.

Copper has has been the dominant form of indoor plumbing for ages here, so every plumber knows how to work with it. It's still seen as the preferred option, and most people, myself included, consider PEX as a cheap alternative. As far as joints go, compression fit seems to maybe be more popular now than soldering for domestic plumbers due to speed of installation, but I personally prefer soldering as I've had bad luck with compression fittings developing weeps after years. Push fit has been making some inroads - but I wouldn't trust it myself!

Microsoft was forced to limit their behavior. I don't recall them being forced to break up.

>A fundamentally ineffective social program will be just about as ineffective no matter how much funding it gets - because the problem they are approaching isn't one that they can solve.

Correct - ironically, as you're describing most law enforcement agencies. The money spent on police - particularly their generous overtime and pension pay, equipment outlays, and hilariously ineffectual training - could be used to fund social interventions that actually work.
They don’t have to work there. Plenty of jobs in non-luxurious areas.
Wow, that's so baffling. I can't imagine being logged into the account the service provided, changing my profile pic using they interface they provided, and them finding those actions suspicious enough to suspect I'm no longer who they think I am. Do they revoke your verified status if you post? If you log out and log back in? It's bonkers to punish users for using your service as intended. I would have expected that paying for verified status meant that they have enough information to be confident that they know my identity.

> "out of context" is the standard BS answer to anything. "What context, exactly, is missing?" should be the followup question.

Quoting things out of context is also the standard BS way to smear someone. In any case, i agree that the person asking the questions should expect this response. If they're prepared for that response and the quote really wasn't taken out of context, it shouldn't be too hard to make the person using it look like an idiot.
