As mentioned, aoi ringo (blue apple) is a common term. When I moved to Japan many years ago, on my first visit to a McDonald's, I was initially excited then let down by the prospect of getting a "blue apple" milkshake.
Is there a reliable source on being able to buy your way past the requirements? The last time I heard this story (like a decade ago), the author was asking large ad networks to pay to have their ads reviewed (and quite possible rejected), rather than him working for free when they have plenty of cash around. I don't see the problem with that

The acceptable ads program was another bluff-call, where people who had been claiming "I only object to intrusive ads. If there was a way to only allow passive and well-behaved ads I'd allow them!" got their alleged wish and then got angry about it
I assume these are mostly procedures, not functions, (that is, they have side effects) as applying a function 1.3M times per minute immediately raises the question of caching which doesn't seem to be important for them.

But if you execute that many procedure calls, how do you guard against them influencing each other due to their side effects? Memory leaks come to mind, or other weird bugs. Also, how do you manage the credentials to effectively issue side effects in a (hopefully) zero-trust environment?

Germany is spending lots of money on ESA and thus Arianespace. Of course they wont do that and ALSO give plenty of funding to startups.

Germany on its own very much could develop its own rocket, the question if just if this is a priority or not. And it isn't.

> Nothing useful is coming out.

They are doing engine test and structural test. Same as pretty much most second generation rocket startups.

And of course they are going 'nowhere' but that has nothing to do with Germany and everything to do with the economics of launch. There is a reason Virgin Orbit went bust. Astra is about to be bust. And a few others will follow soon enough.

Yeah its insane to me that people are unaware of this or ignore this. I also don't get how the average person can defend the existence of the ultra wealthy.
Tragic that pillboxes are still being used in 2023.

“He reckons that all declarations of war ought to be made into a kind of festival, with entrance tickets and music, like they have at bullfights. Then the ministers and generals of the two countries would have to come into the ring, wearing boxer shorts, and armed with rubber truncheons, and have a go at each other. Whoever is left on his feet, his country is declared the winner. That would be simpler and fairer than things are out here, where the wrong people are fighting each other.”

In the case of Norway there’s most probably some geo-politics in play, too, as they’re a NATO country. Looks bad to have NATO money help develop an ideological enemy.
It's interesting because most of my first calls came from recuiters, but the role I'm currently farthest in came from an ol' fashioned "find the website and fill out application".

I think it depends on company size. large companies are a crapshoot no matter what (and by some point you will probably simply have recruiters come to you). mid sized companies (~200-1000) work best by contacting either a person you know at the company or a recruiter. Small companies that fit your interests and startups (the ones that aren't "growing like crazy") seems to still work fine with the resume submission pipeline in my experience.

I think the tax rate they suggest in the article is 2%, which feels pretty incremental.
If we are to tax people because they benefit from public services, then poor people should be taxed more than rich people since they benefit from those services more.
Dear diary: Today I took part in a debate on an engineering forum on whether the US could take Russia in a nuclear war.
"Everyone benefits from the public services Taxes fund, even the super wealthy."

That is somewhat debatable. Not all taxes go to universally popular public services. Special interest lobbies are strong everywhere, so you always end up funding a bunch of rent seekers.

This is the eternal problem of the public purse, not that different between modern democracies and eunuchs of the Ming dynasty: someone's else's money gets stolen a lot.
I live in one of the most highly taxed countries on planet earth and what my taxes mostly do is go from my pocket to either an unsustainable pay-as-you-go defined benefit pensions regime that nobody wants to reform into a market based defined contribution regime since that would make apparent the underlying weakness of our economy or the money goes to structurally poor regions where it disappears forever because nobody wants to take hard measures to reform governance in those regions. sorry to break your bubble but high taxation is not inherently good or bad, depends wholly on the governance, and the governance tends to the bad

from the article

it owned shares worth about $42 billion in some 850 Chinese companies. Those investments will be managed in future from its Asia hub in Singapore, it said.

The decision to close its Shanghai office was driven by “operational considerations” and doesn’t affect the fund’s investments or its investment strategy in China, NBIM said in a statement on Thursday.

They all have the same problem. The battery technology isn't particularly great so to get any appreciable range they have to be made with certain materials and with certain concessions. Wind is apparently a big factor in route planning so that also impacts the exterior design criteria as well.

> I don't want to get a non-EV vehicle anymore

For those who use their vehicles to do repair and other types of field or farm work the verdict is not at all clear. I'd also prefer Fire, Ambulance and Police to stay on gasoline and diesel for probably the next 25 to 50 years, given the abysmal rate of infrastructure development that happens in this country.

> But then, I'd rather get somehow excited for a product I am going to buy.

Often a problem in politics is that people are pretty inelastic when it comes to what they want changed. They want a program fully funded or not funded, a tax issued or no tax at all. A small wealth tax will be seen by foes as a stepping stone to further overreach, and proponents won’t want to fight the same fight again later to get what they feel is owed now.

Your naïveté is not the problem, but rather partisanship means we can’t have nice things.
Declare residence in an isolated island. Stay away of the world for 6-9 months a year. Use a third-party proxy person who signs everything in your name (obviously for a profit), and so on, and so on... profit.

All the tricks were already invented during this century. The taxes to the rich guys, at the end, will only affect those in the middle class with medium-high salaries (do you recognize here my friends?).

It's a car. It's a box on wheels which gets me from point A to point B. I get about as excited about it as I get about my kitchen table.

Mainstream cars, be it either EV or ICE, haven't been exciting for decades. They all have the same boring SUV / crossover look these days, wasting a ton of space without actually having significant carrying capacity.

I judge modern cars by 1) whether I can physically fit in them, and 2) how badly they screwed up the controls. "Exciting" just isn't a thing these days.

The EU population pays a lot for national defence and safeguarding of 'things'.

Imagine Switzerland bordered Russia... would they spend more or less on national defence? Does that mean that the EU is subsidising the defence budget of the country with the highest average wealth?

It worked in the past without any significant drawbacks for society (i guess the rich person losing 90% to taxes might grumble a bit), so there is no reason not to do it again.
No, I'm saying I've made a logic mistake in Fizzbuzz in an interview because I forgot to put == 0 in the condition.

Guessing a lot of companies are on hiring freezes (official or not). economy forecasts are bad and no more low interest rates, so companies are downscaling their growth aspects and switching to focusing on core products.
What do you mean, half a bit? A typical base50 encoder would use 50 characters, so say 309 would get encoded as 69 (309 = 6 * 50 + 9 * 1).
Can we agree on the facts?

1. There was Israeli bombing near the Church. Nobody was ever disputing that.

2. Church wasnt hit by the bomb.

3. Church is still standing.

Whoever is now claiming Church was hit/bombed/destroyed is the one lying, with clear multi party corroborated photographic/video evidence. You might argue Israel has no right to bomb Gaza, international law says otherwise. Geneva Convention Article 28 https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gciv-1949/art... Treatment II. Danger zones

"The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations."

https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gciv-1949/art...

"Consequently, the presence of civilians must never be used to render immune from military operations objectives which are liable to be attacked."
Just a note with the Bash encoding method. It should be with the -n option:

$ echo -n "abcde" |base64

Otherwise, without the -n, echo injects an extra newline character to the end of the string that would become encoded.
For those that are as confused as me, in the comment above "ao" refers to "Atlas Obscura" not to blue in Japanese.
Its of course always nonsense to talk about 'fatality' as the people are still there and the economy will not just stop.

But lets not pretend the lackluster growth isn't related to issues with energy.
This reminds me of when I took my drivers' license test in Japan -- they'll do an eye exam including whether you can recognize the colors. The first color was this weird mix between blue and green, and when the administrator asked me what color was showing, it took me a moment to try to find a word to describe the color... then I realized, I'm at the DMV, they want "ao", so that's what I said.
> A server is a physical machine with an operating system. It can run many processes.

That is an acceptable and different definition of “server”. Words have multiple definitions, that’s why any time you look something up in the dictionary, you are likely to see multiple entries for the same word.

I generally don’t use the word “server” that way. I say “machine” when I am talking about machines, and “server” when I am talking about daemon processes. A great many people I have worked with in the past ten years or so, in multiple parts of the country, have adopted similar terminology to lessen confusion.

If you accept that words have multiple definitions, and accept that “server” has multiple definitions, then it is easy to accept that “serverless” means something like “the response is not ultimately processed by a daemon process”. Just like we accept that wireless headphones are called “wireless headphones”, even though they have wires inside. They are only missing one particular set of wires. Like, “the audio is not transmitted to the headphones over a wire” wireless, “the request is ultimately processed by something other than a long-running daemon” serverless.

I find these definitions easy to understand, natural to use, and I find that they don’t confuse listeners when I use them.

I avoid calling the machine a “server” because it is sometimes confusing, but I’m not going to argue with someone who uses it that way and tell them that they are wrong. That would be horrible.

most probably it's exaggerated, China youth unemployment rate should be similar to that of my Country, Italy, which is at 22% officially, a couple points down unofficially (off the books jobs, people getting state benefits that should not get etc. etc.)

EDIT: in Italy we measure youth unemployment for people up to 34 years old

in the range 15-24 (the one used in the linked article) the unemployment rate is 40.2% on average, 38.8% for men and 42.6% for women

Lenovo bought ThinkPad in 2005. The T560 was released in 2016, 11 years later. Plenty of time for the supposed reductions in quality to have occurred.
I was thinking of a similar thing when the AirPods came out. When they were new it felt like a nice bridging of the real / virtual worlds when it announced walking directions directly into your ear, or reading arriving messages to you. I thought it would be a cool idea to have some kind of trivia, facts being read to you while you move around. Kinda like AR but more audio-based.
s/even the super wealthy/especially the super wealthy/

The wealth of the wealthy depend a lot on the infrastructure build from tax money. E.g. they don't build nation-scale road networks, but would make much less profit if these were absent.
Could this be used to build a super minimalistic Ben Eater style CPU?
The core problem is how you define and observe wealth. It is not like income, which is a transfer that can be observed directly.

It becomes not dissimilar to the "Window tax" (not the bill gates kind) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_tax - a form of daylight robbery where people brick up windows of their houses.
No rich people benefit more. They rely on the rule of law in a nation state to protect their assets and provide a supply of goods and services. And they don't pay much for it (in percentage terms definitely).
I was hoping for something on metric spaces, I was completely wrong but not disappointed. Great post.

It's exactly the opposite: the super rich don't just have all their wealth in assets, they have far more than all their wealth in assets. They buy real estate using mortgages just like everybody else. They are billionaires in net worth, but their debt is usually much bigger than the sum of their cash-equivalents. They win from money devaluation just like any poor mortgage serf, just magnified by some trailing zeroes. Printing money taxes the guy with the savings account and nobody else.
So given the popularity of tailwind I can conclude with confidence, that semantic movement has failed. HTML does not need semantics (because every big site is absolutely filled with divs) and CSS does not need semantics either. Spending time thinking about semantics is wasting time.
It just seems like a very low resolution view of the world. Getting through on family influence is vanishingly rare, to my understanding.
No, that's inflation adjusted.

If I ignored inflation (and hand-waved at least three major currency replacements) it would be eight month's wages.
For Yen and Euro it makes less sense since these are relatively stable, but for less stable currencies that is actually a thing. The definition of gambling you are talking about is built into our monetary system.

I give you the point that it is harder (not impossible) to enforce any regulations on these currencies. It's like cash in that sense, but it has easy access and there are plenty of options of cash, which is unlike regular cash.
exactly, because in the end the idea is to increase taxes for everyone. But hey, lets lower the bar of the super rich to those who own a car or a house or those who travel by plane or those who eat meat....
If you believe in market rates, the cost of protecting large assets from taxes will be very slightly less than the cost of paying those taxes.

Or actually it should cost somewhat more, if you think that holding on to those assets has significantly more utility to you than paying tax.
Yeah, cause I end up with like 5 different buttons designs using Tailwind, and they all have different classes but when I clean up the code later I reduce it down to one button design that fits the final theme.

I think most constitutions have an equivalent. What is unusual about the US is the extent to which there is judge made legislation through re-interpretation and extension of those rights. THis is not just true in the west. Here is the Sri Lankan constitution: https://www.parliament.lk/files/pdf/constitution.pdf - take a look at Chapter III. It is common for cases to be brought under these provisions.

There are international treaties that are incorporated law - e.g. the European Convention on Human Rights. How effective they are varies with national governments (Russia and Turkey are both ECHR, for example). The big variable is whether a country has an independent judiciary that will enforce those rights.

There are definite rights listed in very old laws such as the Magna Carta - and I have read that much of what it granted was already accepted in common law.
