GP wasn't venturing an opinion on immigration/emigration, he was offering a correction[1] to the poster who thought the article was talking about emigration when it was actually talking about the immigrant population only.

Just like how I am not giving an opinion on the immigration/emigration policies, I'm merely offering (what I think is[2]) a correction to your post.

[1] Maybe his "correction" is wrong, but he is still only talking about stats and not policies.

[2] I could be wrong too, about my interpretation about GPs correction, but that still leaves this post void of opinions on immigration/emigration policies.

Then how do you suppose we ended up with fields where nearly everyone was a white male, if race was never taken into consideration?
I see what you are saying, but if arbitrary religious conversion was the way, then there would be no need for missionaries
American encryption laws did not exist in a void. According to this website, one person who was working on the standard indicated that the key space had to be reduced to allow for export.

Take, for example, this old article discussing French law in the late 1900s: https://web.archive.org/web/20000118230559/http://www.opengr...

French cryptography exports required authorisation if the key strength was higher than 40 bits. With its 80 bit keys, the TETRA key space would've been too big to qualify for free exports.

As TETRA is part of an ETSI standard, it seems pretty likely to me that one of the European countries had a 32 bit restriction, and TETRA might as well pick the lowest common denominator when it comes to selecting a backdoor.
They got lucky because when they descended after the engines died, the engine cooling caused small physical size changes and the caked/burned ash just fell off the rotor bits allowing the engine to work again.

To RetroTechie’s point, they got lucky. No design decision saved them. Without that they’d have been a glider until they hit 0ft and it likely would have been far worse.

We’ve clearly gotten very good at flying, managing most weather conditions we’re likely to fly through, the mechanics/maintenance of the planes, and pilot training.

I’ve gained a ton of appreciation for how detailed our preparations are from watching Air Disasters. But we just can’t control everything, some danger is inherent.

Your argument is effectively an ad populum, so I tried to address the parts that could be salvaged. What people do doesn't define what is right or wrong, nor is that how the social contract operates.

Besides, the fact that piracy is rampant is a demonstration of copyright's necessity. If the works were so worthless that trying to charge for their consumption would be pointless, then why are so many people determined to illicitly gain access? And if the works would be made anyway, why weren't they until it was profitable to do so?

The argument you're making dies on a number of fronts, but the one I tried to address originally was the only legitimate line of inquiry. Your ad populum redefinition of the social contract doesn't work, as what is good/bad doesn't get voted on or collectively decided. The best rational argument is what wins in an ethics conversation.
What's stopping you being a garbage man?

No. The content of the social contract is whatever benefits those who adhere to the social contract. It's not a popular vote, what is good isn't up to what the most people think it is.

Stop making sense!

It would be useful if the readily mechanizable aspects of ATC-piloting and driving were done by machine but with human-in-the-loop. The fixations with completely human, manual processes and the leap to full automation are both too risky. There is plenty of middle-ground to derisk and remove points where human-error is mostly likely to occur. TCAS has been an excellent aid. Perhaps an automotive "TCAS" would also be useful.
I'm not downvoting you, but I do disagree with your hypothesis.

In Europe religious power was heavily conflated with political power. Rome, through Catholisism, remained the symbol of political legitimacy well into the Middle ages, and into the modern day.

Especially in England where the Catholic / Protestant battle raged one way and other for hundreds of years, determining who should be king/queen, who the aristocracy were, who were worshiping in secret and so on.

In our time we see this playing out in Northern Ireland, where issues of nationalism (English, Irish) are proxied into issues of religion (Catholic and Protestant).

The concept of separation of church and state would happen in the US specifically because most immigrants there were fleeing state-sponsored religious persecution. They wished to create a place of religious tolerance, which alas has been somewhat imperfect in execution.
WebP and AVIIF (and, to a much lesser extent, HEIC, which AVIF is basically a rip off of) absolutely suck for color management since they are a) virtually never original source formats, b) are video codecs. WebP technically supports two different color profile techniques (traditional embedded ICC - broken in every mainstream batch image processor I’ve tried - and nlx video-based color profiles). Unlike WebP and all the other image formats, untagged AVIF can’t be assumed to be sRGB (in part because there is no actual sRGB for video, though close variants exist) and every image processor or image editor will open it with a different base color profile assigned. WebP doesn’t even support exif, making it absolutely horrible for “lossless” operations that effectively aren’t lossless since they necessarily destroy metadata.

HEIC is also a video codec at heart but has a default color space that also isn’t sRGB (which is a good thing; it’s about time we moved on), untagged HEIC images can (though often aren’t in any default workflow) be assigned Display P3. Assigning/assuming sRGB will absolutely break your images, of course.
Because translation isn't a one-to-one transformation. A bilingual speaker doesn't have a single abstract thought that they are then able to express in two different languages. Rather the expressions themselves represent similar thoughts that are grounded in the overall cultural context surrounding the language. Translation attempts to minimize the difference these expressions have on their respective audiences, but doing so requires understanding the text like the target audience.

Another way to think about it is that translation is not a question of "Express this English sentence in Chinese", but rather "Rewrite this sentence in the style of (some specific Chinese person)". You'll get a very different result if the target is "physics professors from Beijing" versus "rice farmers from Yunnan".

As an example, category theory is an attempt to distill concepts common to all of math but nobody has taken on the task of articulating that function clearly.

> Canada's emigration rate (exiting the country) was [...]

Maybe, but the articles main thesis, as expressed by it's title is about reverse immigration, not emigration:

> The rate of immigrants leaving Canada hit a two-decade high in 2019,

I feel the article just mixed in all the numbers they could for the maximum possible interpretations by readers. They could have focused on the thesis in the title, or they could have focused on the emigration, but by choosing to mix everything up all you get are a bunch of readers who come away from the same article with different salient points.
How does that follow?

"We treat these people poorly" isn't synonymous with, "Gee, I'd really like to be treated poorly."
That only works for self employed.

It took 10 years after Reagan fired the controllers to get the workforce back to pre-1981 levels. This caused a ripple effect because the people that were hired were around the same age. The result was the FAA had to deal with large sections of the ATSC workforce retiring at 56(the legal maximum for an air traffic controller) in bunches. The FAA has struggled since this to maintain adequate staffing levels due to high stress nature of the job.
> The rejection of an imposed faith then, necessarily, also included a rejection of empire

The issue of being a good Roman citizen apart from worship of the Emperor was a key issue for early Christians. The answer was that they most certainly could do so, including serving in the army. It was obviously possible as after Rome became Christian it carried on for centuries.
That makes no sense. I know it’s a real problem.
The thing is that you end up having to be very process heavy. From an efficiency, rather than safety perspective, I had an offer from (and interviewed with--in that order) Boeing many moons ago. The thing I remember from a long-ago dinner after that interview was a guy who had spent a couple of years on some design tweak that saved some fraction of a percent on fuel consumption. That's the sort of thing that most engineers do in aviation (where it's perfectly appropriate).
Yes you can. I usually take the train to the airport.
Well, it is pra-ni-dhAna. Of course, people can say it is humility. ni-dhAna is just deliberation, holding, slowing down. Even the root word dhA/धा is about holding, keeping, etc.

It doesn't matter how you call it, whether "Ancient thought" or "blah blah", what matters is that what is being referred to. It is about how people thought about human actions before Christianity took over.

> I'm not sure how its possible to get a PhD in the modern era without learning LaTex.

I have a fairly complex Pandoc pipeline so that I can send my supervisor Microsoft Word documents and create LaTeX documents all at the same time.

Which is to say that I am swimming upstream to get a PhD in the modern era using LaTeX. It would be far easier if I just used M$ Word.
As silly as it might seem, you do something enough times and oddball rare things happen .. this is an instruction intended to reduce:

* shoes | boots with sharp objects embedded in soles (glass, bent nails)

* extra spikey high heels,

* work boots with hard edged metal hooks for laces,

(etc) causing damage to both inflatable slipways and to other passengers.

How often has a passenger going down an emergancy slide caused a rip that deflated that slide?

Not very often .. and aircrew are taught to issue instructions that make that as an unlikely occurence as possible.
That was not the article I was expecting! Really enjoyed it.

I think the guy is underselling himself. He's running his own successful business, something I cannot imagine doing. He's hitting new (even if similar) problems every day with real world settings and real world consequences, and helping people. Sounds pretty impressive to me. When it comes to DIY I don't stretch beyond fixing tap washers or replacing power switches with obvious problems for fear of causing expensive damage.

The fact he can do it while battling on going mental health hassles is impressive too.
There’s no mention of what effect these changes have on file size. It seems to me all the non-HDR changes will blow up file sizes for all but the largest of images.

The module posted here as a way to avoid that where only runners requested by a job can be used by it (or idle runners if you have those)
In the instruction listings, I've omitted all the data between the basic blocks, and reordered/repeated the blocks to emphasize the control flow. In that particular case, there are actually four bytes, 03 00 3e 00, between the jump and the label. In fact, it's not actually necessary to use a 2-byte 'jmp' to skip past that data, but golfing it further doesn't matter, since it's already at the minimum size for the 80-byte pattern with an undivided string.
The people who end up at the top will be just as prone to the trappings of power and wealth as the capitalists. It’s human nature.
I've thought about these but don't want to mistakenly type something crazy meant for my friend groupchat into my work computer.
Ahh that makes way more sense. Thanks.
> and education quality was crap compared to my average elementary school in California.

Even if this was once true - I doubt it is (on average) any more. The recent PISA rankings put Canada above the US in every area - especially so for science and mathematics. The socio-economic status of a student also impacted the quality of education less in Canada than in the US. [0]

And on what grounds/experience can you so quickly hand-wave all code that doesn't ship on Fridays as "shit"? This is lacking in nuance that anyone with experience would otherwise have.

Bugs happen. Sometimes bugs take a day or two to surface and aren't caught in dev/QA.

I would suspect there is a planning issue somewhere if an engineering team is brought to a standstill if they prefer not to ship on 1 workday of the week.

We save boring work for Fridays. We knock out quality-of-life patches/scripts/cleanup tasks. We'll review external and internal docs. We'll even explicitly verify the functionality of sufficiently large features, which has saved us a few times. Friday is our day to do tasks that improve quality.

I've seen enough weekends saved by not deploying on Fridays for me to be skeptical of any contrarian dogma that demands it's universal removal.

> of course they can't be

They absolutely can be. Apple could officially do what Beeper Mini did unofficially.

There's clearly a market of people on Android who would be willing to install an Apple messaging app in order to have secure messaging with their iOS contacts, and we know now that there's no technical barrier in front of an app like that existing.

Even if not every Android user installed that app, even if it was only a portion -- it would still represent a large security increase for a non-trivial number of messages sent from Apple devices. It would not require Google's permission for Apple to launch a messaging app on Android, nor would it require Apple to use Google's proprietary encryption extensions (or to even use RCS at all).

I agree that both Google and Apple have a vested interest in refusing interop, but it's not a stalemate -- both companies, individually, could take actions to improve security regardless of the other's position. It's not Apple's fault that Google has completely botched the entirety of RCS. It's not Apple's fault that Google is now disingenuously pushing a broken standard under the deceptive guise of interop. But it's also not Google's fault that Apple is forcing iOS users to use less secure communication methods for their Android contacts even in situations where Android users are demonstrating that they would be willing to install separate applications just to secure those communications.

Both companies have -- completely of their own free will -- chosen to leave the situation in its current state, and both companies could take steps to actually address these problems on their own if they wanted to. And neither Google nor Apple can blame the other for their failures to protect their own users.

...and the Cloudflare "are you human" infinite loop for Firefox strikes yet again.
To clarify, I'm using "understand" in a sense similar to the Turing Test. It doesn't matter if the machine actually understands in the same way as humans (or at all), only that it is able to make humans think it understands. If it can convince native speakers of both languages it is human, it has enough "understanding" to perform a good translation.
> commuting ... may be a poorer experience than pre-Covid

Curious, what do you mean? I was WFH from 2006 to 2021, and I feel like the commute improved a bit over that time with the new vehicles and navigation apps, but otherwise not much changed, so maybe I miss something that was better immediately pre-pandemic?
what has been your experience with the healthcare? anecdotally had a friend leave due to no cancer treatment availability. haven’t been able to get a family doctor myself
There’s a different explanation on why WFH has increased productivity: it has expanded the labor pool available to employers beyond the geographic confines of workers within a ~ 1 hour physical commute. That is, employers and employees can more easily find mutually beneficially matches.

I think this is main factor driving increased productivity, not that WFH is inherently more productive.
What a specious argument; “genocide” doesn’t have a threshold on the number of deaths required. And Syria was a completely different situation (though an unspeakable crime at atrocious proportions).
I've been in a couple situations.

- The main one was that I had a flight from Vancouver to Victoria and the weather was too bad for the helicopter to fly. So we took a prop. On takeoff, some cross-wind hit the plane and we tipped over. My colleague and I who were sitting across from each other thought that was it.

- The other one was my plane was reported crashed when I was visiting my parents for some holiday or other. I got panicked call on drive back from airport.

Immigrants leaving a country are those people who had been living somewhere outside the country, came to live in it, and now decided to leave and go elsewhwere.

Emigrants leaving a country had been living there, perhaps for their whole life, and have decided to leave and go elsewhere.

> all countries military's inherently value its own soldiers over an advisory civilians.

I would say you are right about this. Maybe what is so shocking in this particular situation (at least for many people) is how little relative value Israel places on the civilians of their adversary.

Perhaps WeChat can also open images from camera roll, so you can read QR from a screenshot?

Firefox has had this feature for over a decade, and it has never worked reliably. It's slightly better now, but still one time in five or ten, it starts up in a blank session or with an error page prompting you to press a button to restore state.

I lived through the days where force closing Firefox was the only way to preserve sessions. Things honestly aren't that much better. I'd take a zero percent chance of success over 80. At least then failure is known and predictable instead of just reliable enough to get you to trust it.

Highly recommend Time is the Ally of Deceit [1] to get a better understanding of how paganism influenced and was weaved into what we know as modern Christianity.
