Forcing airlines to compensate passengers for weather delays isn't going to work, and isn't equitable. You'd probably have people purposefully trying to book flights that are liable to be cancelled in order to profit.

Don't know what disclaimer you're referring to but in the EU you still get a full refund for cancellations no matter what the reason.
Are you not interpreting the "and they do not accept alternative transportation or travel credits offered" clause to mean that the customers have a choice to take the refund?

The wording definitely implies that customers may be offered alternative transportation or travel credits, but that they have the right to not accept those, and take a refund instead.
Yes. And many of the Heroku employees you speak of would have got RSUs that owed taxes on an $80 basis, been trading far below that for most of that time, and now have a maximum expected value of $35.

This is not a pay day for many people. Anybody who got a pay day were those that could liquidate in the IPO.
Color and TTYs are a two-edged sword. The combinations are simple commands for foreground and background color, but there is no intelligent (read: automatic!) use of foreground color against different colored backgrounds to increase readability.

For example. The CLI consoles on my Linux machine have a black background. My normal xterms in the GUI windows use a white background. The use of specific colors when 'ls' is used works well on the white xterm background. But against the CLI consoles the dark-blue on black directory-color can often be extremely hard to read.

This is the same logic as would be used in banning the translation of the bible or the printing press. For any sufficiently concerned state, 'unbiased' means 'agrees with me'. For example, it may be seen in the USA to be 'unbiased' to be completely uncritical of Israel (anti-Zionism is anti-semitism according the US congress bill H.Res.894). However, this is not the case anywhere else in the world, including Israel (which criticizes itself sometimes), in fact it would seem quite insane.

Also Netflix had greater ambitions back then which would be proven to be a red herring when they first spun out Roku and secondly focused on becoming “HBO before HBO can become us”. Reed probably didn’t have the chops for it, but one can imagine what Netflix could have actually become if it tried to build platforms.
Just one example of dozens of similar cases [0].

Also, given the poor quality of English education in SK, most KATUSA candidates will inevitably be from well educated and upper rungs of Korean society, as they have more resources needed to give that head start.

Hi,

Yes, I feel comfortable, it's a matter of making the habit. Everything specifically related to the knowledge of my profession I use Obsidian. For everything else I use Notion. As for the use of tags, yes I use them.

Best,

Atropine! From nightshade (belladonna) or mandrake. Coool. I’m waiting for eye dilation for cosmetic purposes to be cool again.

You're right, everyone I know now buys their glycine from Donghua Jinlong instead of using domestic manufacturers. This is clearly not because of the superior manufacturing capabilities of Donghua Jinlong, who are ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified, and whose glycine is industrial AND food grade, but because of an insidious campaign by the CCP to promote Chinese glycine across the entire industry, trying to crush American glycine manufacturing. I demand congressional hearings about what our elected politicians are doing about this threat to American-made glycine!
Give me a break... what, you'd rather just let said totalitarian government pump their propaganda into the US? This is a great example of following your moral principles right off the cliff.
I appreciate the feedback but I disagree. The law would prevent Google and Apple from hosting the TikTok APK on their app stores if the company refuses to divest, yes? I don't think it's legal for the government to tell Google or Apple what apps they can host.
I've tried VR, have a bunch of friends with headsets (and a team headset for work, since I work adjacent to AR/VR) and find it mildly interesting when I do try it but not interesting enough to buy a headset with my own money. My kids have both been offered turns but declined.

I honestly don't see the trend that you've been describing among my kids or their older peers. Honestly, NES is this generation's NES; I was shocked that "Marios & Bowsers" is now a playground game (it's basically sharks & minnows), and my kid will spend hours playing MarioKart if given a chance. My kid is an avid gamer but his favorites are all the Tower-defense games you get on Google Play, as well as classics like Tetris or Candy Crush and racing games like MarioKart.

I think there's also a trend - particularly among affluent families - of going back to basics and going outside for face-to-face entertainment more. IMHO the 2010s were the high water mark for gaming, and that if anything the trend today has been to detach from devices and have more actual experiences.
That is an excellent paper. One of those things that is obvious in hindsight, but no one wrote it down clearly before.
It is a Kenwood. The integration is done through an iDatalink Maesteo RR unit. They work with a wide range of cars and head units not just Kenwood. When you get the iDatalink module you connect it to your computer via usb, tell it which model car, head unit and wiring harness you have. It programs it for that combination. If you go to Crutchfield and tell it which car you have it will display a list of head units which will work with your car. Once you select a head unit it will present you with an installation package needed. The packages include the 2-din adapter, trim pieces, wiring harnesses and the iDatalink unit. It will also tell you what functionality the kit will allow. You can add it all to your order with a single click. I also upgraded the head unit in my 2017 Outback this way. You will need to run a new microphone because the one which comes with the car is powered. It took me 10 minutes to replace the factory one and run the cable through the headliner and down the pillar. Super easy. You will also need to replace the factory gps antenna. The factory one is located with the middle front speaker which is directly above where the head unit goes. Your new head unit will come with a microphone and gps antenna.

I believe other car audio sites will similarly present you with installation packages. I’ve been using Crutchfield since I replaced the stereo in my 1st car in 1985 so that is who I went with.
Which, in real life, makes you parse (and handle or throw errors or log, whatever you want) but then now that the item you have is what you need.

Another way you can implement the same: through a class constructor like new UserId('some string') which can also throw or let you handle operations on the class itself while allowing you to get the value.
Anyone else sometimes get more sucked in to perfectly typing stuff instead of writing code.

I guess working in the pure logic and formalism of types is just addictive.

I love it.

There's been wider awareness of how pornography is harmful to boys especially, and also to men. The drive to restrict pornography from children and relegation of pornography to seedier parts of the internet makes complete sense as a response to this.

I hate this article. Can’t we do some philosophical introspection instead of just this data driven drivel? There is even a clue in the empty nesters vs parents section but no discussion. Is the author just afraid of saying something offensive? Age being causative is just taken as fact.

I’d suggest that music discovery is centered on having the desire to do so. As people get older they often stop caring about being cool[+] (take a look at the author) and only listening to the same old music is lame. “We stop being interested in new music at $AGE” is just unimaginative, lazy, and counter to the facts.

Being “with it” is a choice.

[+] And, btw, nobody gets to decide what “cool” is(and your mom definitely doesn’t), but it is by nature always changing.
Imagine if this happened with stream processing systems: “here at Acme Corp we decided that Apache Stream Processing wasn’t nearing our needs so we switched to Apache Creek Processing after evaluating it and Microsoft’s River Processing solution”
Only hundreds? Not bad then.

I expected thousands.

It's not very common, in my CS class at EPFL I think about 2-3% of students came from an apprenticeship. Though more recently I have two former coworkers who followed a similar path and are now at Apple and Google respectively.

On the other hand, pursuing a B.Sc (and possibly M.Sc) at a "university of applied sciences" (FH or HES in the local parlance) part time (i.e. while on the job, as a working student), is very common nowadays.

Whatever. I find new stuff all of the time. Anything but show tunes, most country, and recent pop music is fair game. Tidal has good shit whereas Spotify will randomly reach into your account to delete playlists or remove content without warning. Also, the Spotify app no longer controls volume across devices uniformly, doesn't work at all on Apple TV, and is generally getting buggier and crappier with popups and moving things around for no reason. I'm downloading elsewhere to use with PlexAmp and buying vinyl because you just can't get everything via streaming.
Neither the title nor the post body makes it clear. Is this limited to USA?

What about airlines in other countries? Like Air Canada from Canada, and Lufthansa from Germany?
> That seems a bit too conspiracy theorist

Remember "DOS Isn’t Done Until Lotus Won’t Run"?

That large companies do self-serving underhanded tricks is not a conspiracy, just yet another Monday in the office.
I think the pseudo-tangibility of an electronic card game is a key factor, as well as generally having rules that are fully comprehensible. You also see a lot of games with explicit dice rolls these days.

Complex games with a lot of obscure, unknowable number-crunching behind the scenes can feel intimidating or alien. Complex games with everything out in the open are something you can feel good about learning and mastering.
I think the main thing that reduces music discovery as a parent is sheer exhaustion, you just don’t have as many hours anymore. It’s not just that you’re listening to less new music, you’re listening to less, period.

Meanwhile, having a kid getting into music is fabulous. I’ve been forced to listen to every Taylor Swift album. I know who Olivia Rodrigo is. I managed to discover Wet Leg all on my own. Steve Lacy, Mitski, Zutomayo, sohodolls…

And then there’s The Crane Wives. Honestly one of the best things I have heard in a very long time. Try “Keep You Safe”, if you don’t like it the rest is probably not going to be your thing. If you do, there’s a lot more like it.
Yes, but it's a bit unfair to ding an airline 600 euros per passenger on top of the fare refund because the weather wasn't safe. Fining an airline north of 100k because they didn't take off in unsafe weather would result in an even greater incentive to fly anyway.

The fines are there to disincentivise the airlines from skimping on staffing or maintenance, causing delays, and lumping passengers with the expenses incurred by having to rearrange travel at short notice.

I assume there is some kind of system in place to prevent airlines falsely claiming bad weather to escape the compensation rules.
I’ll happily agree it’s not a first amendment issue, but I think it’s a problem. A systemic analysis here reveals that, in effect, the discourse is clamped down on and censored in a way not to dissimilar in its consequences from actual government censorship. The vast majority of the population engages in discourse in spaces where some topics are made off limits, meaning they won’t be exposed to them. I do think we should be concerned about that when it has tangible negative effects.
Changing American opinions and perceptions is worth everything.
>In terms of geographies - one thing I read about recently is how various “online safety czars” from countries are coordinating in groups that may soon have the power to implement global content restrictions (censorship) that respect each other’s local requests on a global scale.

Thankfully, this dystopian wet dream is unlikely to go far. Censorship "Czars" cannot legally disregard the laws and constitutions of their respective countries. In the US, we have the First Amendment, and no politician or bureaucrat has the authority to censor speech generally.

The most essential advice I can give to any new user of TikTok is to be EXTREMELY liberal with the "long press > not interested" feature. The default FYP ("For you page", the algorithmic feed) is initially tuned towards the average teen, with lots of garbage (pranks, half-dressed women, and assorted other trashy content). The algo is pretty good at picking up what keeps your attention, so be careful what you give your attention to.

If you tune it right, there's a lot of good content on there, though.
This is tangentially related at best but I always found it amusing that a forum for founders and populated mainly by pampered white-collar workers happens to be one of the hot-spots of revolutionary sentiment in the interweb, very ironic.
The analogy isn’t really fair. Honestly, getting the date right on a hotel stay is often more important than getting it right on a flight. Both are an inconvenience, and a good chance that both are major, but really…it’s different. If I get back from my holiday or business trip a day late, it sucks, but it’s workable. If I get to my hotel, they tell me they oversold, but not to worry they’ll fit me in tomorrow…well, I still need somewhere to stay.

This really needs to be considered on its own merits. And, in my view, it still happens to warrant a refund, when asked, when the delay is significant.
Yes, if you do a good job it removes a lot of mental overhead for building the feature or refactoring it later.

Although if you do a bad job it might add a lot...

Younger artists cover older artists all the time; when older artists cover younger ones, that's probably a recommendation.

Examples: Dolly Parton covering Joan Jett; Alla Pugacheva and Sofia Rotaru covering t.A.T.u.
Maybe you can expand on what you’re trying to say because freedom of speech is protected afaik.
Nice username, very topical.
It all kind of reaches an apotheosis when the interviewer makes the second big red pull quote one from their questions, instead of one from the author's answers. I couldn't believe it, I had to double check!
I'm a little puzzled as you're describing a music stylist on skin colour, black vs white. I presume you don't really mean that, so what distinguishes the two musical styles, black swing vs white swing? Serious question.
I was diagnosed at like 6. In that time it's gone from -2 to -10, though it's mostly stabilised from my mid-20s.

In fact the time where it slowed down getting worse was coincidentally the time where my daily near work went from 2-3 hours to 8+ hours as I was doing it professionally and not just in my free time.
I see, ty. I'm not familiar with quantization. Can you give me a brief explainer for that or point me in the right direction?
Yeah, and the friends whose houses I've been over to so I could try their VR setups — stopped using their headsets soon after getting them.
It's the hardware, man. The software practically doesn't matter until they figure out the hardware. If they went all in on adding all the necessary features to Worlds right now, they'd end up having to change things later on to accommodate whatever form the hardware ends up taking.

There are some crucial avenues of research Meta is working on. Varifocal, form factor, face / body tracking, resolution - once these things are nailed, and I'm pretty sure it'll be in the next 10 years, then suddenly we're gonna WANT to be in Horizon Worlds. But it can't happen without massive R&D on the hardware side.
China's national bourgeoisie has a seat at the table, but there are plenty of recent examples of them being brought to heel by the CPC. So, while they definitely have some capitalist productive relations I'd hardly call them capital-C Capitalist in the "ruled by capitalists" sense of the term.

Compare with the US where the capitalist class not only has a seat at the table: they are the table. And the chairs around the table, the room the table is in, the building the room is in, the property the building is on, the people who go in and out of the building, and the bullets that shoot anyone who tries to enter the building who isn't supposed to. The US is "more capitalist" in all the ways that count - what might be confusing you is that China has more sustainable and powerful relations of production which is why they're overtaking the US. But that doesn't make them capitalist.
But why do we respect that name as a sign off?

What if a CEO said, “We're mortified to discover that we allegedly did a bad thing, but in our defense we did specifically check with the ‘Charlie bit my finger’ kid and he said it was A-OK and so you can't actually blame us".

I don’t find McKinsey any more credible than a child sticking his fingers in the mouth of a baby who is surprised when he gets bit.
> I think you’d have a hard time aligning the amount of the paycheques such that the puppets couldn’t get bigger expected future paycheques by doing what they wanted with tiktok.

Presumably the puppets wouldn't have access to the tiktok platform (its code including AI algorithms, data, employees, etc), they'd just be a middle-man that would take the finished product (e.g. the APK) and publish it to distribution platforms (Google and Apple's app stores)?
I don't see why the West should allow government corporations from China to operate within their borders. It's not like there's reciprocal agreements in place that allow the inverse.
It's because slices have underlying arrays which define their capacity (cap(s)).

Both slices start out having the same underlying (bigger) array -so appending to one slice can affect the other one.

In the "bonus" part, though, the appends outgrew the original array, so new underlying arrays were allocated (i.e. the slices stopped sharing the same backing array).

Thanks for the heads-up, janosdebugs :)
So this is almost certainly to ensure it lands in the hands of pro-Israeli censors.
Facebook didn’t start to become globally popular until around this time. In 2006/2007 when I joined you still needed a .edu or in my case a .mil email address to access it. Basically as soon as it started becoming popular in China it was banned.

The organized protests[1] were just a convenient excuse. Race riots have occurred in many countries and you can link those back to various social media platforms which were used to organize protests.

[1] The protests as you describe them… there is a lot to unpack here and it’s not a good enough excuse to ban American social media companies. But if you think it is, then the US also gets to arbitrarily ban foreign social media companies.
This feels like it should be a built-in feature of HTTP servers and reverse proxies. But the application has to have a hand in identifying the client's quota (so to speak).
I'm sorry, but wanting your music algorithm to key in on the composer's skin color is a ridiculous expectation. Listen to albums or make a playlist.
Maybe when they hit a $Trillion and VR still fails we can finally put a nail in this coffin.
I wonder if this is the case, or if the model just has year as a heavily weighted factor, because bluntly, Ella and Louis were vastly superior musicians to Frank and Tony. I honestly can’t hear the similarity. It’s like thinking “Oh. You liked The Killers, here’s some One Direction”

ByteDance did a ton of stuff in China before getting into short videos, which was a hype cycle with a whole bunch of players until eventually they consolidated to one or two.

The amusing thing looking at this from China perspective is that ByteDance has been hit by the government over and over again for appealing to the mainstream.

The first big success they had was a social media platform centered around memes/jokes, and because the CCP doesn't have a sense of humor they crushed this platform when it started getting too popular.

Their second big success was a news aggregator that focused on surfacing news people actually wanted to read instead of the news the CCP wanted people to read. Which is to say mostly lowbrow gossip and sensationalist storytelling instead of long and tedious treatises about how great the party is. The Xi administration crushed that too, mandating changes in the platform that made it just as sanitized as all the other Chinese "news" outlets.

TikTok getting popular overseas seems like the result of a very well-timed purchase of musical.ly. The small number of western Gen Z youth I'm in contact with say they came to TikTok through musical.ly. Either way, we all see how successful that has been. Once again, ByteDance figured out a product that gave the "low end population" exactly what they wanted, and once again the government is punishing them for it.

At this point you wonder if these guys should just throw their hands in the air and pivot into oil or pharmaceuticals or some other addiction industry that's totally in the government's pocket. I guess the suspicion of some in the US government is that that's already happened and that's why this fun app that everyone loves is actually a tool of the CCP.
