Well, plunder might not serve the nation. But it's not the nation who makes the decisions. Wealthy elites always do (except meaybe one time in France, possibly).

So the conclusion is that one of the things wealthy elites tend to do when given the opportunity doesn't serve their nation, but at most themselves. Which is not really groundbreaking after two world wars.

Although I understand that it might be culturally relevant in times where entire nations are expected to pay reparations for what wealthy elites of their country used to do.

Showing that the nations didn't benefit might be a counterargument to that.

His case is interesting, and I imagine he shared more context in his interview, which the editor or reporter likely cut due to the article's word limit. The article briefly describes his objective as a want to land "a management role in technology," but it's likely that he's not looking for a junior project management role with his credentials.

Perhaps he's holding out for a senior or at least mid-level role as an executive or co-founder at a company in a specific part of the technology industry. But then again, as the article describes, he sent out hundreds of applications—while this is plausible for these types of roles, I always imagined these openings to be primarily shared via word-of-mouth. So out of personal curiosity, I wish the article included more details about his process in attempting a career change, and what kinds of jobs he is applying to.

Have you tried DuckDuckGo? I find it fantastic -- it does both general queries and local country queries well. Anytime I go back to Google (e.g. when I'm setting up a new computer) I am surprised that anyone still uses Google -- the result I am looking for is almost always half way down the page on Google yet it is #1 or nearby on DuckDuckGo. Apparently it's based on Bing's index but with their own tech on top.

Yes, they are identical. But I believe the reader is better armed to deal with the confusion, or at least to recognize the error, because it does not fit it. But when producing, you don't know the target language, so there's a better chance for errors to slip in unnoticed.

It's better for me to receive a text in the original language and translate it myself than to try to decipher something translated automatically.

'Not Where We Need to Be': Boeing to Make Changes in Quality Control
This is an expected consequence of over monopolization of industry. You lose all the natural power of moderation that comes from the market. With that gone, corruption is left unchecked, regulatory bodies are captured, and collusion is purchased to gaslight everyone over the truth.

You also should never trust any court, in particular, the Supreme Court. A court has no special access to facts, yet it operates with complete authority, as if it's process was entirely without error. They are a compromise that only makes sense when all other civil remedies have been exhausted because there is no mechanism to guarantee an improved outcome from their involvement.

Which highlights the basic point here, any institution of appreciable size and without competition cannot possibly remain uncorrupted by it. It's essentially impossible to build any government institution that is worthy of "trust."

You probably have to type a password to perform actions as your normal user, unless you've disabled the login screen for your system. But if you do enter that root password, what exactly can you do that you couldn't do as your own user that actually matters? Sure, root can ex. inject drivers to the kernel, but that's just an intermediate step. The real damage is typically in running a keylogger, getting access to your online accounts, sending DDoS traffic for a botnet, etc. - all actions that can be done with just your non-root user.
ASP.NET Core* :D

Really short time to final product when matched with EF Core, and a variety of `System.*` nuget packages for caching, working with mail and job systems (ASP.NET Core has decent background job and service API but if you want more - there are good third-party libraries used by everyone).

Realistically, compared to Python, Java and JS/TS and now even Go (undeservedly), C# is somewhat of an underdog and is often ignored despite offering the most comprehensive and easy to use solution winning vs java at deployment and package management, vs js/ts, python and BEAM-based languages at performance and vs all of them at working with databases because how easy EF Core is (with Dapper existing if you need more involved control).

This article seems written from someone in their own kind of bubble. Here are the first 5 things in a list of supposedly irrelevant things school teaches:

> Values and mindsets taught by the school system:

> 1. Conform to top-down structures and one-size-fits-all curricula

> 2. Obey the authority figure

> 3. Ask permission for anything you’re not explicitly told to do

> 4. Truth comes from authority, defiance will be punished

> 5. Success comes from pleasing authority figures

Far from being "the exact opposite of what every employer in the 21st century is looking for", these are exactly what many employers want from most of their employees. Even in supposedly high-tech companies, insufficient deference to authority - even if technically correct - is punished[1].

In this sense, school actually does a remarkably good job of introducing students to the kind of environments they will need to operate in for the rest of their lives.

It sounds like you're already aware of this, but that's got to be unsustainable (let alone un-reciprocated).
I don't think so.

Assume A is the copyrighted work. Now construct a file of random bits and call it B. Then assuming A=B^C, then you can solve C=A^B (where ^ is the XOR operator). Both B and C appear to be completely random.

Assume you are sued because C is found on your harddrive and if you XOR it with B (found on someone else's harddrive) you get copyrighted work A.

To construct your defense, take a work in the public domain, and call it P. Compute D=C^P. Now tell the judge that there is a file D on a friend's harddrive, that allows you to reconstruct P.

Alternatively, tell the judge that you are researching random numbers and C is just a file you work with. It is not illegal to have random numbers (bits) on your harddrive.

At least for me making tests has been very frustrating, full of many "test conditions here" and "continue with the rest of the tests".

It _hates_ making assumptions about things it doesn't know for sure, I suspect because of "anti-hallucination" nonsense. Instead it has to be shoved to even try making any assumptions, even reasonable ones.

I know it's capable of making reasonable assumptions for class structures/behaviour, etc where I can just tweak it as needed to work. It just refuses too. I've even seen comments like "We'll put the rest of the code in later"
spoiler birth rates kept decreasing for the past decade. one of the main reasons is our government shifted from helping families to helping retired people for electoral reasons.

its pure evil and it happened in two way.

1. francois hollande and leftist ideals wanted more equity and decided it wasnt fair that “wealthy” people where getting government money when they had children (for them wealthy was anyone middle class or higher in france which whatever you think is way lower than usa in terms of income). they passed this law ten year ago and now only lower income families are incentivised to make children. pretty crazy and suicidal if you hear me. the wave of educated people saying not to make children for the environment due tompropaganda is alarming, at the end only people making children in france are immigrants so that they can get enough money from government to survive without a job (because the jobs dont exist we have 10% unemployment)

2. then macron presidencies just followed this wave. he got elected by boomers while the majority of the active working population voted for the oponent.the boomer generation will benefit from the retirement ponzi that is in place in france, getting back more than they paid to retirement funds during their carreers. the following generations are paying for this robbery. he then decided to reward them by raising pensions by 5% while advocating against raising salaries to tackle inflation.

the major idea behind this is that families vote right rather than left , they want to pay less taxes and are not easy to control. the solution: remove the middle class from the genetic pool, import mass immigration from less developed countries that will forever be lower class and forever vote left to get enough money to survive in a country without industry and with very few blue collar or unqualified jobs.
I recall reading some interesting neurological research on this topic, about how phonemes are learned and accessed.

Video editors are a big one. I've heard of people crashing a browser tab with Figma as well.

For data exploration tools it's very easy to want to use 4GB+ of memory. I found the limit cumbersome while working on financial tools. It usually comes up in internal tools where you reliably have a fast internet connection; it's harder to reach the limit for public-facing tools because there the slowness of sending 4GB+ to the browser is the more limiting factor.

The annoying part isn't just that the limit is there, but that you can't really handle it gracefully as the developer -- when the browser decides you've hit the limit, it may just replace the page with an error message.
Leo Marks' memoirs, _Betweek Silk and Cyanide: A Codemaker's War, 1941-1945_ about his time as chief cryptographer of SOE, frequently discusses two major ideas of his that he pushed regularly: Worked Out Keys (WOKs) and Letter One-time Pads (LOPs). His heavy use of that acronym in his book written in 1998 is pretty strong evidence to me that he at least used that term of art during the war. Now, at least as presented in his memoirs, he was mostly isolated from the main cryptographic efforts of the war, so it seems unlikely that e.g. Meredith Gardner and the Venona Project would have encountered his use of the term, so I think that strongly suggests that the term pre-dates WW2 unless it was a simultaneous coinage.

Lethal Infection of Human ACE2-Transgenic Mice by SARS-CoV2-Related Coronavirus
It's been well-earned. How many iterations of the food pyramid? How many times have we been told that X is okay, only to find out some decades later that X is in fact, not good for us? Flame retardants, can liners. Don't wear masks. Do wear masks. Okay, we lied, but it was for a good reason. This is safe for pregnant women. Then it turns out not to be safe for pregnant women, but they keep prescribing it anyway. Now that everyone involved is off the board and/or dead, we can admit it: we knew about global warming decades ago. Nobody got locked up for Tuskegee, the psychopath who tortured David Reimer and his brother was lauded as a visionary, and the inventor of the lobotomy got a Nobel Prize for this daring feat of psychosurgery ... just a year before the Soviet Union banned it on moral grounds. Feed some kids radioactive oatmeal, become the head of the American Association for Cancer Research.

Of course experts aren't respected. They've demanded it.

On the contrary, ZN is taught is almost every undergrad control course — and not actually used industry. It’s a classic textbook method to demonstrate the concept in simulations but it has many downsides in practice (pushing the system to its boundaries is not a good idea).

Most professionals tune with starting values obtained using model inversion (IMC, direct synthesis) and then hand tune. There is also software like Loop Pro that analyzes the data and proposes tunings.

You're just mirroring the parent example. Prior to AI (or even computers), this was a problem.

I used to be a more conventional engineering guy. We do a ton of calculus to get our degree. My first job - you just didn't need calculus (although all the associated courses in school used it to develop the theory). As a result, the one offs (less than once a year), when a problem did come up where calculus knowledge was helpful, they couldn't do the task and would go to that one guy (me) who still remembered calculus.

BTW, I guarantee all the employees there got A's on their calculus courses.
Great idea! However i think your initial concept might blow up into something much bigger and technically challenging. You want it to be a QR code to link to a business card/personal bio/ai biz helper.

Also, although i do believe many people want this, there is already TONS of competition. Social media apps all kinda have this (profile page), tiktok and Instagram make heavy use of apps/integrations such as linktree to facilitate off site marketing.

Furthermore LinkedIn is unfortunately the de facto "business card" for most people and companies. Again you can totally create an experience that tops these tech companies but it wont be easy imo and will require a bit more than a single markdown file.

Also one major question i have is how will users share their qr code? By sending the qr image as a text? Maybe as a post on social media?? (if so how can i scan the qr if im viewing it on my phone - just send me the direct link).

I would be shocked if the software doesn't already account for that in every local area where it's offered. Uber definitely has a history of just doing stuff and figuring out the law later, but at their current scale and with something like alcohol that has major room for horrible consequences, I would be shocked if it's not all coded up so the customer doesn't see it as an option if it's not for sure legal, and no human has to think about it.
Understanding how the tools work can help them to choose a practice area that will be less affected, if they so desire.
