Interchange. The fees go directly to the issuer not the network (which collects much smaller scheme fees). If you have 3 cards they’d almost certainly be for 3 different issuers so they’d split the interchange. Making you less valuable.
And the voting system that put them there. A plus+minus vote system would create different patterns.
> We have an illusion of a democracy.

No, you don't get to say that and not be laughed at. You can believe it, but you can't claim it. Democracy isn't just voting for what you want or complaining you didn't get a vote. It's also running for office on a platform that you believe is important. Unless you got elected and tried to implement your ideas and men in black came to stop you, you don't get to complain.

Seems likely they did, maybe other groups did too, and we'll probably never know to what extent the IDF were responsible.

The involved actor who could clear things up doesn't want to. If they don't want to, I take it that it wasn't very important to them.
The problem was mostly that the only guy that was really backing the project (Christian Ude, SPD), was replaced with his successor (Dieter Reiter, SPD) who just didn't have the drive necessary to maintain the project.

The entire design of "LiMux" was doomed from the start: it was a highly customized version of Ubuntu that was only used in Munich (not even throughout the entire state). That made everything ridiculously expensive since the actual advantages of building on an open source solution was never realized.
That is combined with the fact that "open source" and "cost savings" were used interchangeably when in reality the budget for Windows should have been pre-allocated into development, rather than cut.

The entire project was half-assed to begin with, which basically meant that Windows and Linux had to coexist since many crucial tools were never ported to Linux.

The "Microsoft killed it" story sounds realistic, but the truth is the much more boring incompetence in execution.

No, you set up your own legal entity(company) based on the financial/legal framework in your country, and bill your foreign employer for the work you do, but you're not an employee so you have no right to sick days, firing protection, etc. and have to do your own taxes.
I wonder how it navigates to target. Is it targeted like a cruise missile or piloted like a drone?
Don't know specifically about Europe-wide or Netherlands specific, but it's not unheard of in various European countries.

As an example, the city government of Barcelona started to migrate things away from proprietary systems back in 2017. First applications and later the OS itself. Not sure what the progress of that is though. Old article about it: https://elpais.com/ccaa/2017/12/01/catalunya/1512145439_1325...

Similar moves been done in various agencies and entities in France and Germany as well.
What are the alternatives. Like, really. I get it: Hetzner and OVH exist. But what are the alternatives to AWS, GCP, Azure?
I mean you don't have to cover the entire area of the country, you can cover the borders and then around key potential target areas, right?

In this case, they would of course want to focus on the border with Ukraine, unless Ukraine somehow starts launching these from entirely different countries.

I got that from TFA where it quotes people like Jamie Dimon saying that JPMC is one of the largest employers in Scotland now because wages are so much lower than they would be for comparable employees in the US.
Well.. it doesn't HAVE to be. But the alternative is revolution, which is often (always?) much worse than the sucky system in the first place. That's why we are stuck here.

But I do think it's possible to have change. I am an optimist. But first we need to try different things on a smaller scale. Municipalities is a good level.

To me it would make sense for large vehicles like city buses to use some sort of battery swapping system. Each half hour or hour when they get back to the main terminal they swap batteries and carry on.
They should also mention their plummeting reputation due to erroneously reporting rental cars stolen causing innocent people to get arrested.

All I need to know about Hertz is that their quality or prices are so bad that costcotravel.com does not list them.

And salaries and pensions, etc.
So basically a couple of finance bros thought they could make a killing by buying Hertz cheap at auction and then doing the old pump and dump with the company. Turns out they weren’t actually very good at running a business and made a huge mess of things. While renting cars is sort of a stodgy boring business turns out it’s boring for a reason… because that’s what works.

I think they're real objectives are to murder as many Palestinians as possible, and to occupy the north of the Gaza strip. Why? Two reasons: oil & gas, and beach-front real estate. Israel has already dished out licenses to oil producers for fields in Palestinian waters, and the new "aid" pier the US is building for them is rather suspect.
> Inhance challenged the EPA’s action, arguing that the EPA improperly sought to take action against the company under a section of TSCA dealing with new uses of chemicals, and that Inhance’s process did not constitute a new use.

It’s been mostly legal to charge credit card surcharge fees since 2013. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=5c6e1264-42a8...

The real reason that most merchants don’t charge surcharges is that they don’t want to lose the sale, calculating the actual interchange is wildly complex and in general they prefer cards to cash.
> People are getting pumped storage and river dams mixed up. It seems mschuster91 also mixed them up.

The environmental impact is bad for both.

River dams break fish crossings, the dammed up area gets flooded and wipes out nature as well as archeological artifacts and the dams are at constant risk of damage - especially in a war, see Ukraine for multiple examples, but also due to maintenance neglect, negligence during construction and natural disasters like earthquakes. In the worst cases such as China's Three Gorges dam, millions of people were displaced as well [1].

Pumped storage can come in two variants, either as an associate to ordinary river dams (so they inherit their issues), or as greenfield construction, where they have the same impact on the flooded are, with the additional impact of countless animals dying during pump and empty cycles.

If the alternative is not getting the security certifications required to operate legally in the sectors they depend on for revenue what alternative does an organization really have to seeking/implementation solutions in sync with the mandated regulations.

And this is not an private company whose demise is insignificant to the society at large(as all companies must be in an functional capitalist economy) but the government itself instituting policies to protect itself from dependence on a single foreign company.

And being told by an court to get off the o365 cloud is not an theoretical prospect for an European governmental organization as the EU commission found out about a month ago(https://www.edps.europa.eu/press-publications/press-news/pre...).
> If we exploded all energy companies into millions of tiny companies each with a single oil or gas well, but overall production is the same, would that change anything?

In my mind that would be dramatically better for a ton of reasons.

More competition.

Less ability to hire huge legal teams.

Less ability to influence elections.

Less ability to influence laws and regulation.

And those things would make it easier for us to force them to cut their greenhouse emissions.

Well, if you cherry-pick to compare UK only to US, then yeah it's lower wages, but the US is the global outlier here, not the UK.

Almost any other country in the EU mainland(barring maybe Switzerland and Norway) is low wage compared to US.

If you do a more realistic comparison, like UK to EU, wages are not low at all.
Worked for a 10,000 person company, 50% engineers. There'd be several cases a year of someone using the company credit card to buy gift cards for "the CEO" or other senior execs whose details are available on linkedin or corporate sites, despite that exact case being the example in the anti-phishing training. So you'd be surprised.

I couldn't disagree more.

The idea that we are particles suspended in fluid at the whim of Brownian motion is already an idea that has been taken to ridiculous extremes.

Everyone already believes what you are saying to a ridiculous degree.

I understand what you mean, and there very definitely was a change, but I've always felt it was the shift away from late sixties / early seventies high-concept, almost-fantasy, semi-hallucinogenic wonderful weirdness. Just as culture pretty quickly went post-hippie (as it were), so too did science fiction. I feel as tho, somewhat tongue-in-cheek here, we collectively went "well that was a little embarrassing" after the sixties and reverted a bit to form culturally - not just in popular fiction, I mean, but more generally.
Did they fix the unusable slow rendering on retina Macs yet? Couldn't even normally scroll through a blank document last time I tried...
I’ve wondered this too. One theory I have is that in the UK doing an undergraduate degree is a humanities subject has much higher social status than the US. This leads more of the “top” high school students to do these degrees. When they graduate they obviously need a job and recruiting works week due to needing good language and soft skills. Maybe a bs theory though :)
The one thing that is painfully obvious to anyone who has rented an electric vehicle in a foreign country, is that charging those things is close to impossible.

Most charging networks require a specific app, that often can only be downloaded in that country's App Store. If you do manage to download the app for a network, signing up can fail because it requires a local address or phone number. Eventually, you'll find a network that does allow foreigners to sign up, but realize that their closest charger is slower and 10 miles away. Often the chargers will show up as available in the app, but actually not be functional and there is no-one at the site to help, even if it's a gas station. They'll just roll their eyes and say it's not their charger. Call the network.

At least gas you can buy with cold hard cash or by simply swiping your credit card at a gas station. No need to input your pronouns into an app.

A good example how society sometimes regresses on some fronts.
It doesn't matter if they used dumb or smart bombs to destroy the target. When their selected target entered the building then the whole building became the target by extension. Smart bomb would have equally destroyed the building. Important comparison between dumb and smart bomb is only the probability to hit the target (the building) and IDF used precise diving maneuvers with dumb bombs and avoided hitting high rises with dumb bombs, making the probabilities close. That is not the issue here.

The main crux of the story is the automated target acquisition and the policy to engage the target in civilian homes - there are intelligence errors and collateral damage.

The questions are: is the intelligence gathering and decision making ethical and is the accepted collateral damage ratio reasonable given the scale.

This is different from for example Russian strategy to target whole neighborhoods to inflict terror in the civilian population by indiscriminate killings.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with this particular frustration.

> the power structure is either refusing to or is incapable of solving it

This is where I think the whole doomerism project goes astray. It seems to only notice difficulties and challenges and never pay even a tiny bit of lip service to the flip side of the coin.

Surely "the power structure" must include the executive administration and a majority of the members of both houses of the last US Congress? Those people coordinated the passage of a hugely beneficial package of mostly carrots but also some sticks targeted directly at this problem.

The criticism of this always boils down to "well sure, but that's too little and too late", but that is letting perfect be the enemy of good. People who care about this should be energized by this, both by the opportunities it has created to work on research and deployment of useful technologies, and by the relatively paltry political backlash to it, suggesting more political capital can be spent on this moving forward.

It's a way more exciting time to be involved in solving this problem than it has ever been, certainly in my adult life and I'd say ever. But despite that, the "discourse" on it among young people seems to be one of cynical nihilism. I don't know for sure why that is, but I struggle to believe it has nothing to do with social media echo chambers.

What’s Brexit got to do with anything? If you look at a graph of the devaluation of the pound, it’s a pretty linear decline from 2014 onward. That was two years before the referendum.

The UK actually seems to be stuck in more or less the same malaise that’s hit Italy and France, which is failure to recover from the 2008 crash. If you look at a graph of GDP per capita, all three countries have been totally stagnant on that measure since 2008. It’s similar to the stagnation Japan has experienced since its crash in the mid 1990s.

The US has in theory continued to grow GDP per capita wise, but the growth seems fake. If you take out a handful of global knowledge worker hubs like the Bay Area and NYC, people probably aren’t any better off since then.
I counter these assertions by simply saying the opposite with exactly the same authority supported by exactly as many citations.

Even the bsds, which allow companies to steal without giving back, have kept essentially apace in any important ways with a microscopic fraction on Linux's individual or corporate investment, and without Linux's copyleft to ensure all developments go back upstream.

Both of these comments were nothing more than religious faith opinion.
Large merchants also pay much less for interchange generally.
I like how the article brings up Alien, which Dan O'Bannon later wrote the screenplay for. They have a lot of similarities -- both presenting space travel not as glamorous but as something the future equivalent of truckers do, and also about the problems of picking up alien life without a quarantine, although it is played for laughs in Dark Star and deadly seriously in Alien.
Again, they are barely functional.

MSVC chokes on many standard-defined constructs: https://github.com/microsoft/STL/issues/1694

clang does not claim to be "mostly usable" at all - most papers are not implemented: https://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html#cxx20

And gcc will only start ot be usable with CMake when version 14 is released - that has not happened yet.

And, as I mentioned before, IDE support is either buggy (Visual Studio) or non-existing (any other IDE/OS). So you're off to writing in a text editor and hoping your compiler works to a somewhat usable degree. Yes, at some point people should start using modules, I agree, but to advise library maintainers to ship modularized code... the tooling just isn't there yet.

I mean, the GitHub issue is Microsoft trying to ship their standard library modularized, they employ some of the most capable folks on the planet and pay them big money to get that done, while metaphorically sitting next to the Microsoft compiler devs, and they barely, barely get it done (with bugs, as they themselves mention). This is too much for most other library maintainers.

Unsuitable plant in Oxford, German owners, and the ability to sell cars in Europe post Brexit with fewer hurdles and lower duty likely played a bigger role in that decision.
This is mostly not true of the local shops near me. They’ve stopped taking cash because costs of cash are higher than cards.
That was pre-Brexit though. And the UK plant was JLR afaik, so Indian not German owned.
Economics and psychology is remarkable the interactions which exist. Economics can fully explain mass suicide events, mass depression in connection with economic depression. The idea is that economics is technically passive and just measuring what's happening, but can point to a causal event.

But it's a very long stretch to suggest the mental health crisis is caused by economics. In my mind the current mental health crisis comes from 4 key sources.

1. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2854760/

There are about 30 major sources contaminating our drinking water. We are effectively giving low level HRT to everyone in society. With the obvious consequences.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/12/101208125813.h...

The sources are unimportant. Just that we must discontinue the idea that our drinking water is clean.

2. Government restrictions on in person social interactions preventing people from having friends. In my jurisdiction, government has effectively eliminated in person social interaction; but it will vary i'm sure.

3. Significant social changes which have obvious consequences. This started probably around 2010, but then gamergate and metoo are kind of your major sparks which started the social wildfire. Record low fertility rates and still dropping.

4. Covid lockdowns. Everyone pointed out how this was a bad idea which would cause a mental health crisis, especially for children.

I'll take my downvotes now.
I have tried, a long time ago, LineageOS on Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4. The both of the ports were so buggy, that by those experiences I could not trust the maintainers to be capable of securing the system. It may have been a false assumption, but I had to think stability/bugs and security must correlate at some levels.
You’re right. They wouldn’t ask any questions at all, and just send the money.

I build internal tools and I regularly build things that, while not what they asked for, the users are glad to get in the end since it was a car and not a faster horse.

My biggest problem has always been that users are used to software being "Stone Tablets from the Mountain" and so instinctively work around the tool instead of just asking me to fix it. Which is reasonable mostly since almost all the software they (and me!) have ever used is very much like this.

This isn't only a discussion about software though, but about government. The citizens don't even report problems because they assume they will be ignored. So the government stops listening because there is nothing to listen to. Round and round it goes.
