Nobody said snake oil salesmen at all. We are talking about clinical trials by major companies.

Regardless you proved my entire point. The trials they went through weren't actively harmful.

Everyone feels self righteous for playing God with other people's lives restricting them from giving things a chance.

Either there isn't a lot of competition between carriers there and they were just sticking the roaming fees in their pockets before, or there is a lot of competition and the carriers had to make up for the increased usage and loss of roaming fees by raising the prices of phone plans.

This isn't the same thing as whether you like the result of the rule. Maybe paying a little bit more in total in exchange for having a more predictable monthly bill is something people like. It would still be paying a little bit more, if the market there is competitive.
An order of magnitude more Canadians died on that flight than Indians. Canada has a higher percentage of Sikh residents than India at this point. This issue isn’t exclusively Indian.

The issue is that an extrajudicial, extraterritorial killing of a foreign citizen is a pretty serious step to take. There is no evidence that India tried to extradite or otherwise bring this gentleman to justice, nor what exactly his crime would be. India has accused him of a lot with not a lot of specificity.

Flip this on its head: if Canada were to identify the assassins, would it be appropriate to send Canadian agents to India to have them assassinated? How would Indians react to such an act?

>>Labour productivity has been developing faster than wages for the last 50 years.

This false claim was popularized by the EPI, which is funded by unions.

The reality is that worker compensation has almost perfectly tracked labor productivity:

https://www.brookings.edu/articles/sources-of-real-wage-stag...

Comparing productivity with one measure of inflation to compensation using another measure of inflation is the way the EPI produced its false claims, as the above article explains.

>>How do you mean that there has been a decline in market liberalism?

Increase in regulatory compliance costs. Increase in the percentage of occupations requiring a license. Increase in the size of the Code of Federal Regulations. Increase in the percentage of GDP constituted by government spending. Increase in the number of regulatory agencies. Increase in regulatory restrictions on housing development, particularly in the highest productivity economic zones.

Some of those were specifically grandfathered in to the policy [0]:

> Careful readers among you may now be wondering about GitHub, GitLab,
Gitolite, etc. And now we get back to why it took over a year to get the
trademark granted.

> The USPTO initially rejected our application as confusingly similar to
the existing trademark on GitHub, which was filed in 2008. While one
might imagine where the "Git" in GitHub comes from, by the time we
applied to the USPTO, both marks had been widely used in parallel for
years. So we worked out an agreement with GitHub which basically says
"we are mutually OK with the other trademark existing".

> So GitHub is essentially outside the scope of the trademark policy, due
to the history. We also decided to explicitly grandfather some major
projects that were using similar portmanteaus, but which had generally
been good citizens of the Git ecosystem (building on Git in a useful
way, not breaking compatibility). Those include GitLab, JGit, libgit2,
and some others. The reasoning was generally that it would be a big pain
for those projects, which have established their own brands, to have to
switch names. It's hard to hold them responsible for picking a name that
violated a policy that didn't yet exist.

I've been using Windows 10 for the past year and a 4 months now, after some 10 years 100% on Linux. I had to disable a weird setting which would forcefully update and reboot the computer when it considered to be "Not Active". I believe it was called "Active Hours" and by default had no way to turn off: you had to choose some hours of the day when you're supposedly not using it. Lost some work like this and had to do some tinkering, not sure if register or otherwise. Or maybe I just disabled automatic updates I guess.

So, in conclusion, no, an OS taking control off my hands forcefully is not user-centered, no matter how much in programming circles updates are seen as "crucial". Nothing is more crucial than the computer being predictable to its owner.

We had a terribly hard time explaining the idea of "cousin." Once we did, she explained that she was unfamiliar with the concept because her family (and apparently all the families she knew well) had only had single children for generations.

I assumed there had to have been a word for it at some point, and that people were probably using it somewhere, but she seemed quite sincere in telling us she knew no such word.

Sure do, you can just keep stacking, almost like in English.

But where English just has "great great grandmother", In Swedish you can specify exactly which one of the eight people you mean, was it your "mormors farmor" or your "farmors mormor" perhaps? Or I could say something like my "farfars farfars mormors mormors morfars morfars farfar" was a Walloon immigrant to Sweden in the early 1600's, unlike my "farfars farfars farfars farfars farfars far" who was a German immigrant to Sweden in the late 1600's.

However, in practice, it's very rare for people three generations back or more to be alive, so most people only have one or two of these, if any at all, and people usually prepend "gammel-" (lit. "old") in front. So if you have a "gammelfarmor", that's either your father's father's mother, or your father's mother's mother, or your mother's father's mother for example.

I wonder how much the actual average level of education has changed, though the topics may be different. Could those 4th-grade dropouts read and understand a newspaper, calculate how many pounds of barley it takes to plant the south field now that we cleared that new area, and work out a 1-in-10 slope for the new shed roof? I bet most of them could, and that a lot of the time the average person spends in school now is not as well-directed toward their likely life needs — which may be less easily ascertained.

It's not that RSC is a bad thing, there's just a lot of animosity built up from years of react developers shitting on the concept of processing on servers and antagonizing the developers who work in that space.

Splunk has delivered this level of innovation and quality since 2007 when I first used it.

We used Splunk to associate a change request ticket number all the way through the change control process to the Puppet log output tagging each change to the original business purpose.

It was like magic for auditors back then and I rarely see that depth of tracing automated changes to business purpose in the field today, though we get close with gitops.
Since you're bringing up "capturing the data", it's worth pointing at Kagi's privacy policy, the very first point of which is this:

> * Searches are anonymous and private to you. Kagi does not log and associate searches with an account.

https://kagi.com/privacy

Additionally the search page itself displays this notice:

> Your searches are always private. We do not see them and they are not associated with your account

The "captured" user data you seem to be concerned about doesn't appear to actually exist in this case; the data is quite explicitly not being captured.
This seems the most obvious value add feature for search results at both an individual level and for reviewing overall moderation.

I wonder what possible logic there could be to not allow it? The only one I can think of is they don't want bridgading to create a wider system block but that seems easily enough to resolve.

I disagree. ML is eating the world by storm and one thing Apple loves is high margins. Folks like myself would gladly pay that margin to someone besides Nvidia. I paid $2k for my last GPU and was happy to do it. That doesn’t even factor the fact that businesses would pay even more when the alternative are machines that start in the tens of thousands for just the GPU ability. GPUs right now are carrying fat margins and that makes more than enough incentive for Apple IMHO.

You literally said it's the state's job to "look after" all those people.

This is exactly denying individuals freedom. It's right there in the word "mandate". If you want to produce some thing or service at some price, you don't get to unless that's what the planners want. If you don't want to produce some thing or service at some price, you may be forced to by the planners. You don't have freedom of agency, and you can't have freedom of agency, in a planned economy.
Similar to bandwhich, I recently created a snap of my own bandwidth monitor, picosnitch [1]. However I was only able to get it working with classic confinement due to there being no snap interfaces for fanotify or BPF kfuncs. Unfortunately this meant it couldn't be published on the store.

I already packaged it for nearly every distro, but unfortunately most don't have dash [2] in their repos so the user needs to install it separately, and I was hoping that snap would be an easier solution for that.

Well this is a first, I usually get told that Canadian politics is center (NDP), center-right (LPC), right (CPC) or far-right (PPC) because it’s compared to the politics of Western Europe.

Generally I don’t consider it useful to conceptualize a global “center” and say that a countries political parties are mostly to the left or right of it. I only ever hear this in the context of somebody painting an entire country as (unduly) off to one side or the other.

Compared to most comparable countries Canada is to the economic right and social left, and people tend to vastly overestimate how much social spending Canada does and vastly underestimate how much social spending the US does… when you crack open the books the amount spent on social services is shockingly similar.

Right, so let's say Duke Energy is a private profit-seeking company in the eastern US. In many areas it is the only energy company in town. Are you trying to say that, just because it's a private company, it's not centrally planned? That each section of its business is in some sort of free market?

Private corporate ownership and central planning are not mutually exclusive. Texas is maybe the only place in the US where energy production isn't centrally planned, for any reasonably local definition of "central."
