> I pointed out that they produce much more heat than bombs, so bombs are most certainly not the reason for the extreme heat this year.

But the effect is still accumulative, hence the "in part at least" in my previous post.

Nature behavior is rarely lineal. Events follow often complex curves with two sudden changes of "velocity". In Ecology is relatively common observing small increases in a variable to trigger huge effects if a threshold is crossed.

We are talking about two different things here. Climate chaos is one; heat waves is another. Anomalous heat this year can be part of a temporal or permanent effect. We can be at a peak in the curve or at a step increasing. What we observed is that something happening in Ukraine needs just a few days to travel to most Europe by air. This is how they discovered Chernobyl in Sweden. We know also that 2023 was heat wave, after heat wave, non stop (wildfires all around the Mediterranean also) and this is unusual behavior.

If the war is feeding this, directly or indirectly (who burned Greece or Canada, and why?), we could return to a "more normal+1" situation, with still a climate chaos problem at the background causing the +1. This does not mean that the antiscience crew was right, but they will try to score the point anyways.

If is the second and each year will we hotter than the previous for the next years, or decades; then we have a big problem at our gates and is not called climate change, is global war

Wars will start in Africa or Asia as long as the areas more punished by climate became insufferable to live, and if the wars are helping the climate change (and Putin's Ukrainian genocide is obviously feeding it at some extent) we could pass the non return point much faster that we expect.

This does not mean that the research models were wrong and the scientists were "puzzled", as every journal parrots constantly. It means that new events happened later.

Your conclusion here doesn’t follow from the premise - when two families or clans are marrying each other the result is not a nuclear family.
I think it's basically circular. If you try to have pride in your job, your pride gets destroyed by the frustration of it all and you either quit or give up on the pride. So what deserves is pride-less work, which causes the frustration.

The best teams I've worked on were ones where we managed to locally have pride by feeling like a little team who cared about each other's work and occasional sacrifice (being on-call, etc) and it felt like a little family. As soon as further-away managers start reaching in and "fiddling" with it, from their prideless vantage post where everything is just a system to accomplish quarterly goals, the family-feeling fades away and it goes back to soul-crushing pointlessness.

> War is too serious a matter to be left to the generals. An absolutely oversized military industrial complex is indeed problematic if a country wants to be a full democracy.

I think that the US armed forces have a far wider set of responsibilities than "war". For example, they act as a social protection service for its members, and weapons program are managed as part of economic policies as job guarantee programmes.

Then there are research programs who started out as military projects which ended up benefitting the whole mankind, such as the internet or GPS.

This takes place in a country whose society has been almost rabidly opposed to any policy remotely associated with socialism. It's almost a cheat code of sorts.

In pragmatic terms, criticising the US armed forces just because "war" seems ignorant and foolish.

To some extent yes, but I was able to keep an old emergency device running with security patches from last month which is better than having to buy a new temporary device or being stuck on the matching official 2016 ROM.

Maybe it happens more to logged-in users? Because I'm sure there have been multiple instances where it was down in the past days and this site shows only one.

When set to "show last week worth of data", the page shows an outage yesterday at 18:24; when set to "past day" it shows the outage at 18:48. Huh? The other graphs' data all has an hourly resolution so it rounding to the nearest 24 minutes is plain weird.

Also, during the reported outage at 18:whatever, all other graphs show nothing weird. Most notably, the uptime is constant at 99.95%. Across what interval is that measured? What's this last 0.05%? Why does it not change after it reports an outage between 18 and 19 'o clock?

Wouldn't trust this software with reporting issues more subtle than a physical cable cut lasting for two hours.

Taxes are far higher in Europe than in America. The additional "Social" benefits in my opinion are trivial in comparison with the differences in taxes.

Progressive income taxes increase at a far higher rate in Europe. Plus Europe has other forms of taxes: far higher sales taxes (VAT), corporate taxes, and other forms of taxes like buying-property tax (Grunderwerbsteuer).

Yes this appears to be a silly suggestion, tuples are everywhere, especially as arguments for functions where it does not make sense to name the fields. They are also a structural type and records in Haskell are, unfortunately, nominal types.
If Haskell records were structural (one would use newtype to make a nominal record), then tuples could be syntactic sugar for a structural record with field names 1, 2 etc. There is value in unifying them with records, but we still need them.

Gold is a noble metal - pure gold doesn't tarnish like that in your photos.

"Gold staters" vary in gold content a great deal:

The Durotriges issued a series of rapidly debased coins through this period probably starting around 50BC with a largely silver (80%) stater (British B) with a fairly small percentage of gold.

and

Verica's stater series weighed between 5.27g and 5.29g while the gold content varied between 42% and 44.5% The gold content appears to have remained stable over time with no sign of debasement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_currency_of_Britain

Pure gold nuggets unearthed after many thousands of years under ground "look like gold" when given a good rinse to get the dirt off - they don't look tarnished like the "gold staters" in you photo.
I'm pretty sure this implementation gap is done partly for a good reason and partly for a bad reason.

The good reason is even within an individual industry each company is different enough that the software needs to be extremely customizable or there will be too much adoption pain required. I don't think opinionated does it when you would need to enforce change across large swathes of people. I have seen this tried and be an expensive failure across more than one organization where malicious compliance basically killed multimillion-dollar rollouts of this kind because people simply weren't prepared to change their workflows. I've seen the CTO of a very large organization first instruct, then ask, then plead, then beg for people to adopt the CRM that had been installed at great cost all to no avail.

The bad reason is that lots of big software companies (but definitely CRM people like Salesforce) rely on big consultancy firms to sell their product. Consultancy do that because they "don't sell software, they sell solutions", meaning they come in and do the implementation etc. They wouldn't do this if they didn't get the sweet sweet billable hours, so your software better be customizable up the wazoo for them to be interested in being your sales army.

And then piled on top of that, salesforce have created an ecosystem of developers who do the customization. So if you're a small bank, you might want ncino to do your loan workflows etc. That means Ncino are selling salesforce everytime they sell their product etc.
350k is 99th percentile in terms of income, so I'm not the one redfining "wealthy".

If you can't afford a nice house with 350k/year, move a mile or two away from your upper class enclave to the middle class neighborhood and live like a king. (Per Nerdwallet, 350k/year is enough to qualify for a mortgage for a $1.35 million property with 20% down. I live in a nice part of LA and places here cost significantly less than 1.35 million.)
Haskell's current dependent typing is expressive, but also painful to use and almost impossible to debug.

I don't work in advertising so I can't say for certain what people do and don't do. But yes, that seems like one useful data point.

But perhaps more interesting is the ability to determine that User X is trying to clear their data for Wayfair, Amazon, and Home Depot, but not Target and not Lowe's. I could imagine some interesting analysis with that data, even if only in aggregate.

There's also no prohibition that I can see in the Privacy Policy against things like fingerprinting your device, building a shadow profile on you, and exposing that data via some API with an "anonymized" identifier. I suspect that the ability to determine something like "owner of mobile device 123455321 is privacy-conscious" might in and of itself be a useful feature for targeting ads.

It is a very good comparison (I work in California, at-will contracts).

The effect of me leaving my company and the effect of my company leaving me, for the one who is getting dropped, are not even remotely comparable.

The negative effects of my leaving or being laid off/fired on the company of 100k people are, more often than not, not distinguishable from zero. Many folks left my group and other groups I worked in and, invariably, the escapees were barely remembered a few weeks after leaving. The cemetery is full of indispensable people, and I was never told that I was indispensable.

The negative effects of my dismissal by the company on me range from almost zero (I wanted to leave anyway, I have ten other jobs lined up, they offer me more money) to very substantial (I didn't want to leave, I can't pay my mortgage, my partner sees me as a failure).

I respect the company I work for and my colleagues. But if I have to choose between advancing my cause and advancing the cause of the company (assuming the two causes are somewhat misaligned and assuming I am not doing anything considered "wrong"), I choose myself every day of the week and twice on Sunday
> someone who can buy a just okay house with a long mortgage.

Look up housing prices in some major European cities (generally way less affordable that in most of the US if adjusted by income).

In London, Paris or Munich prices are about as bad as in SF or NY yet median income is considerably lower (also good luck getting a fixed 30 year mortgage, so there is also considerably more risk even if you can afford it)

> suddenly become poor

If you earn over €350k per year you really have to make some very poor financial decisions for that to happen. Besides from changing illnesses/accidents etc. but you would still most likely end up in a much better position financially if you saved that extra 10% you pay in taxes or went with a private insurance option.

Of course healthcare is probably a different matter.

> These orgs are not truly functioning per market principles, yet for various reasons are stuck in a captive energy state that no one dares to disturb.

All signs point to market principles leading directly to this kind of situation. It seems like markets produce ruthless competition but that's a rudimentary and naive extrapolation from the prediction.

Reality gives good evidence to a more sophisticated prediction: that, in times of non-scarcity, markets produce docile mediocrity, because everyone's goal is to keep their job and make enough money and status to survive, rather than to maximize their money or status, and mediocrity attains that.
Contacts are a core feature. You can not expect to succeed as an open-source company by limiting the number of contacts at any point of maturity. Provide a decent number of features, and then charge for SSO and stuff like that.

Or put everything free and have your own dedicated service, with your infra and support. Look at Sentry. Everything is open source. They are making a lot of money. Not everybody wants to run Sentry on their own infra. Same with CRM.
