Counterpoint: That feature has very little utility to all but a tiny fraction of users. Those users can readily find other means (e.g. extensions) to achieve the same thing. In the interest of simplicity, it was the right call to remove this. I imagine it was pitched for its ability to gather feedback on search quality, but the type of people using the feature aren't representative.
I think the Baltic state's precarious relationship with their bigger neighbour is at root the problem, the specific issues at hand (lack of latvian sub-titling, use of russian geographic neologisms regarding Crimea) are the visible symptom but the underlying problem is being seen to provide safe harbour to an independent russian news agency, and the risks.

There just wasn't enough in it for them. That said, with a substantial russian-speaking minority, they may have simply swapped one headache for another.
> The decision to leave the EU was made by parliament, not by the people.

What a nice excuse. I dont buy it. No decision is ever made by "the people", every poll will end up being discussed in some parliament, and politicians will have the final say.

But the british people voted to exit, and that is what happened. I really dont know why supporters of democracy have any problem with that.
Simple means simple for the end users. Not necessarily simple for the developers. The end users do not care if the dev has to spend a couple of minutes recompiling, as long as the result is fast and simple to use.
That‘s what I use on Windows machines as well. I have to admit that I don’t care too much about duplicates as long as it’s not Gigabytes of dupes. There is software that might help with getting rid of duplicates (see Excire), the question is how much time it would take and how many TB of storage I could buy with the time lost. Outside of that: if images are meaningful to you, think about printing them out. It’s a different way of remembering the images and a printed out version feels different than digital. You don’t even have to hang them but touch them and go through them once in a while (I tend to not look through digital images ever after „archiving“ them). Good luck and don’t give up. It’s ugly for the first time but if you control the influx of new images in a meaningful way it‘ll get easier.
Can you define "low throughput"? I think people have significantly different ideas of what that means.

The ISS is a symbol of international peace and collaboration.

Yea I am in Oz and I am very proud of our outcomes, but productivity wise, we have not got especially high ranking scores: 60kUSD compared to 70kUSD GDP per capita AU/US respectively.

We have a lot of public holidays, and 6 weeks annual leave. Maybe our superhuman skill is being "average" on less working hours in the year?

We do have an awesome minimum wage. And, nothing like FAANG peak salary for tech. So maybe in the ICT domain it's about outcome per unit salary cost?
It sounds like you made up your mind that the vaccine could not possibly be at fault. Nothing to see here, right? You will not even consider the possibility? Not even a 1% probability? Note I said nothing about religion, so not sure why you bring that up here when speaking of the probabilities of potential cause, but I believe your stand requires significant faith.

I do not consider covid to be harmless. Many died, including my own family members. We are talking about diabetes among children. Children were hardly impacted by covid. But many did take the vaccine. Food for thought.
How do I do this? I tried but I don't have individual control of my eyes, so I'm not sure what to do.

There is a happy middle ground where you are allowed to bring a little context without annoying everyone.
I've been to some concerts where they checked your ID vs. the credit card.

In that case I imagine the scalper would have to get a card issued that scanned properly with your name and the original number.

I also remember Green Day did a show which was cash at the door only; in that case you only have line cheats who pay people to stand in line for them.

I've also been to concerts where the ticket in an app locked to the phone, which could makes it harder if scalpers have to send a phone to you (though rooted phones could help.)

In each of these cases you're out of luck for the show if you lose the card or phone, though it might be possible to get a refund.
Data centers / the internet are not ecological either: Similar energy consumption as the airline sector.

(And that a significant part is wasted on running ads doesn't make it any better.)
Netflix's streaming service has such a shitty selection of movies compared to Netflix's DVD service.

The end of its DVD service is a huge loss.

Sadly, many people who've only ever used its streaming service will never know what they were missing.

practice ended because prices fell so far not because people’s preferences changed.

As if prices aren't a part of preference? As if innovation isn't lowering costs? That alone torpedoes your claim - why wasn't AT&T innovating on lowering prices? Obviously because they were a monopoly and how no incentive.

What you you may not know, is that people didn't switch from renting to buying the same boring phones, the market exploded with phone options. Where was the AT&T cordless phone pre-1982?

They just created a new form of Kiddie Porn. One that the Russian Mafia doesn't use because they traffic children to pose for nude pictures and videos.

I guess it depends on what level you're generating the events at. On Linux, it would be completely reasonable to inject the input events at the input device level.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/input/event-codes.htm...

This is very straightforward (EV_REL) and requires a very small amount of code. There can be different problems to deal with when working at this level, but in my experience, everything works as expected with keyboards, mice, and gamepads.
>Is WTO or UN a global government?

No, because they have no ability enforce any policy.

>Why do you need this “global government” to let people travel around?

You said you don't want borders. That's different than just letting people travel freely. National borders entail much more than freedom of travel.

>not too long ago people were able to travel wherever they wanted without visa or passport

Yeah, because it was really difficult to travel anywhere except maybe between neighboring countries. When travel became cheap and easy and countless millions of people starting doing it, they made more restrictions because some people were taking advantage of it.

>Why do you think that we should keep those restrictions?

Do you want criminals from other countries coming to your country? In those wonderful olden days you speak of, that's what happened: people committed terrible crimes, and then evaded capture and fled to other places where no one knew who they were or what they did. Understandably, people don't really want that any more.

We also have the issue of economic migrants. No country really wants to be inundated with millions of poor people from some other country; in the era of modern social services, countries don't have the resources to provide for them. In those olden days, when people moved to a new country, they either figured out how to make a living, or they starved to death, or maybe were exiled or killed if the people there didn't like them for some reason.
On the flipside, having been in El Centro, CA and the Persian Gulf region while in the Navy, I could smack anyone who says "but it's a dry heat." When it's 110 degrees, it doesn't matter.
> it's hard to argue that they don't build a lot very quickly

The problem the article discusses is that they've built too much too quickly. There's no one to buy or use it. Oversupply isn't useful and it costs a lot.

Same situation with EVs. EV oversupply is neither economic nor environmental:

> Basically, life should be better for citizens if governments are competing for legitimacy with them.

You're inventing democracy. China doesn't like democracy.

Taiwan likes democracy. China's determined to take over Taiwan, no matter what the Taiwanese think about it. China's quite happy to invade Taiwan to get it done:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/13/china-unveils-...

China's message is "Fuck your democracy. Submit or we will invade and kill you until whoever is left submits".

So much for the competition of governments and the betterment of the lives of citizens.
> Or people who don't want to juggle 10 different streaming services

That's the huge one. Availability is so fragmented for streaming that it's just not worth it. A DVD service that has everything in one place is gold.

> ...Binding of circulating S protein...

Vaccines don't cause circulating S protein at any levels that could cause damage to organs.

We can measure some S in the blood after vaccination, but it is at levels of picograms per milliliter. Spike is confined within the cells that the vaccine enters and isn't sprayed around the circulatory system by the vaccine. What is displayed on the surface of those cells is the T-cell epitopes after the protein has been chopped up by proteases and those relatively short sequences are displayed on MHC for the immune system. The spike that leaks out is probably only due to those cells being lysed in the lymph nodes.

That is many orders of magnitude less of an exposure than someone who is infected and has literally billions of virus particles floating around expressing spike on their surface.

The vaccine won't cause any effects via circulating spike, that is just bullshit that was being spread early in the vaccine rollout. The reactions to the vaccine are going to be autoimmune-mediated.

I’ve never heard of fluoride treatment. I never had it, I don’t think that’s common in Europe.

I was referring to fluoride in water and toothpaste.
It is most definitely not.
Doesn't surprise me. I've taken one downtown in Austin and it seemed like (at least at the time) that they had it programmed to route only through preordained areas. It avoided 6th st altogether (despite that being clearly the most direct route for my trip) and, weirdly enough, avoided a very basic roundabout (neighborhood sized one that replaces a 4way stop, not the giant 2 lane ones).

I've also seen them stopped in the middle of streets blocking a lane of traffic at night before. Not clogging the entire street like this, but definitely causing a good amount of traffic.

>You keep using that word.

Yes, because it's apt.

>I don't think it means what you think it means.

We both know exactly what it means and it's clear that its aptness bugs you.

>But I'm not really interested in tugging on this thread because it's extremely tedious to argue definitions of words in a language where the dictionaries are descriptive, not proscriptive.

I'm not interested in it either, but it's clear: the definition and proscriptive usage doesn't suit your narrative.

Yes you absolutely can. If you replace the "come join us" leftist people with ISIS, surprise surprise, you've been replaced. QED.

>That's like saying the population of a school has been "replaced" because it graduated an entire generation of students and a new generation is there now.

This is a hilariously not well thought out example because it actually proves my point. Yes, if you replace the population of a school with a different ethnic group, you're replacing the original ethnic group. This is like saying if the trout population in a stream goes down, and you replace the dwindling population with salmon, "the relevant continuity [of fish] is unchanged." You've kept the fish population the same, but you replaced the trout with salmon (who are not native there). Thanks for proving my point. QED.

> I can't help but think that their reluctance to use Docker feels contrarian for no reason

My impression is that it's less about contrarianism and more about

1. the developer opting for installation instructions being consistent across both of the intended targets (Linux and (Open)BSD); and/or

2. μMon being allegedly tiny and simple enough that you're probably best off stuffing it into every one of your containers anyway (i.e. so that said containers can expose their own monitoring interfaces) instead of having a dedicated container for it

> There's an argument to be made that the "Simple" Network Management Protocol they're a fan of is far from being simple either[2]. Configuring the security features of v3 is not a simple task, and entire books have been written about SNMP as well. They conveniently ignore this by using v2c and making access public, which might not be acceptable in real-world deployments.

Agreed here. If SNMP is supposed to be "simple", I'd hate to see what the Complex Network Management Protocol looks like!

(I have a similar peeve about LDAP, on that note; I guess compared to wrappers around it like Active Directory and FreeIPA it's "lightweight", but I dread imagining what a heavyweight directory access protocol would entail)

A lot of it is based on what you’re aiming to generalize. Typically for data that is fairly “conceptual” I find a DPR type solution to be better for most people with a similarity search.
