> We need an actual case for why we are supporting what is going on in Ukraine.

The case for me is that I live a few hundred kilometers from Russian border. If Ukraine falls, I'll be next and scenes like this will be happening on my street to people I know: https://x.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1820831971573973385 (as they happened in the past to people I knew).

> The same people who didn't think that through now think destabilising Russia is a going to work out great.

Russia is becoming unstable because Putin launched an unwinnable war, destroyed foreign trade relations, hollowed out civilian economy and sent god knows how many to death while trying his best to keep the true scale hidden. Rest of the world is not "destabilising Russia", but doing what they can to hold the shithouse together while trying to end the war. It is not their fault that Putin is not taking any exit ramps offered to him and instead keeps doubling down on a obvious mistake.

Deserves a mention that overblown concerns about stability are nothing new. As the USSR was falling apart, George Bush Sr made a speech in Kyiv warning Eastern European independence movements about rocking the boat too much. NY Times dubbed it the Chicken Kyiv speech. The fears about nuclear war or weapons falling into terrorists' hands turned out unfounded. Instead, the lasting effect was that 100 million more people in Europe are free now than 35 years ago.

> I have difficulty even pretending to respect the idea that Russia is a bad actor here given the US record we're all expected to look past.

Hundreds of thousands of people are dead, millions of lives ruined, entire cities flattened, occupied areas littered with mass graves, ground contaminated with millions of mines that will take centuries to remove. And yet you can't even entertain the idea that the perpertrator is a "bad actor"? That shows a disturbing lack of any moral sense. Looting, torture, rape, murder and other crimes are disgusting and reprehensible and deserve a punishment, and if you insist on ranking countries, then Russia has committed these acts at scale uncomparable to the US.

True, but as a publisher they had a really good eye for funding interesting games. It's a real loss for me, as I tend to rely on publishers to curate my games for me.

Sure, but the new fabs take time to build and spin up. I don't know how exactly they spend that money, but I'm guessing a large amount is up front (acquiring land and starting construction etc), so it doesn't seem impossible that spending slows down once construction is well under way?
Can someone explain to me the theory of stock buybacks? How is this not just financial engineering? How are you meant to differentiate companies who’s stock goes up because they’ve been productive and made great products from those that increase their stock prices using buybacks? Are there rules against taking out loans and using them to perform stock buybacks?

Often, no. There's a relevant specific fee-recovery mechanism [0] in some, not all, states, because this class of lawsuit acknowledged as being problematic, as being an effective way to silence 1A-protected speech. The deeper problem is that litigation is extraordinarily expensive in the US, and generically easy to abuse as an intimidation weapon—for rich entities to use against those who can't afford lawyers; or for fanatics to use against normal risk-averse people who don't want lawsuits–don't value whatever it is the fanatic is fanatic about, highly enough to go to court to argue it.

This is not about gender or sex. This is about any person creating damage for their future selves online. Whether you like it or not, people running businesses and hiring people, or school teachers etc, have opinions and views of their own. These factor into their decisions when they are interacting with you through daily life.

If somebody who takes a dim view of promiscuity sees that you have an only fans account, they are going to immediately have bias in any decisions that involve you. This is just a fact of life, and nothing to do with the gross reduction of 'women needing to be pure'.

guess they're referring to Andrew Tate and his network, the prosecutors allege that they were behind at least six women, controlling them (including violence) and taking half of their OF income [1]. They themselves claim they have 75 women netting them 600k a month on OF alone, so assuming the prosecutor's claims of them taking 50% hold up it's like 1.2 million a month.

I'm torn a bit here as I happen to know people actually active on their own on OF, but it's on the other side not much of a stretch to assume that the Tate brothers are the only abusive pimps in the game. 600k a month is a ton of money, for a very low effort and low-risk (as long as you don't brag that you bought off police forces) operation.

Even today, Japanese text online and elsewhere uses a variety of encodings. It's sometimes a frustrating experience. Compared to other languages, it is common to see non-Unicode encodings. In particular, Shift JIS (actually, the Windows-specific variant called Windows-932, which is incompatible with JIS X 0213:2004, called "Shift JIS 2004". Old enough Unix and Linux servers used EUC-JP, and Mac OS has its own encoding).

I would like to see a future where someone doing sex work to make ends meet (or even as a freely chosen profession!) is not ostracised for it. Sex is part of society whether you want it or not, and so is paying for sexual acts.
You probably did. Pornography plays an important role in shaping and controlling today's societies and the powers that be will certainly push its distributors and creators more and more in the future.

In Geneva, apart from being able to swim in the massive Geneva lake (100km long, crystal clear like most seas), one can swim portions of Rhone that flows out of the lake. The only exceptions are places where it can drown you or chop you up quickly due to some water constructs (for lack of better words).

Its also quite popular to hop on some inflatable boat or mattress once its safe, just before Jonction [1] which is amazing place on its own, and just take the slow flow for couple of kms in very nice forest environment. Basically till next dam.

Zurich has very similar situation, just way more restricted for free lake swimming.

Any Boeing engineers who may be looking for alternate paths, please know that I've known many great aerospace engineers who have made a pivot to medical devices very successfully and many of the best medical devices to come out in recent years are due to such. It seems very different but really it's very similar.
There's never an answer to this question. People say management is not at fault, and when this is pointed out to them... crickets.
Seems Boeing effectively became part of the FAA. I've produced and designed experimental aircraft. The FAA made it clear they would not certify it, simply wasn't legal since it wasn't contemplated under any certifiable title in the CFRs other than experimental.
And if one of those services is down, your entire application is down. You basically build a server made of abstract components ECR, S3, ALB, CF , all of which are able to fail.

Two parts stand out for me:

1. COVID: The explosion in revenues during 2020 is self explanatory.

2. Product market fit/Execution: The owners having previously created other, albeit, unsuccessful platforms certainly helped with creating Onlyfans.

Vienna swimming is amazing. I was just swimming in Vienna Alte Donau a few days ago, before it started raining.

Because the Donau and Donau-insel are so long, you have many different ways to swim:

- swimming docks (alte donau) https://www.instagram.com/p/C_qMA8loXMv

- artificial beaches (CopaBeach)

- natural swimming (Neu Donau / Donau Insel) https://photos.app.goo.gl/d5iGqKP8uAjyYY81A

- Strandbad Angelibad for a roped off swim area with food and playgrounds

- Alte Hafenschenke where you swim on a tributary to the Donau

- swimming in a pool on a hill with a view of the city (Krapfenwaldlbad)

- swimming in a pool floating on the canal https://www.instagram.com/p/CiAb0gXufXx

- public pools cost only a few euros and have restaurants, slides, grass for picnics, sunbathing rooms (big rooms with no roof) https://www.heldenderfreizeit.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07...

You've also got Sausalito-style restaurants on the water all along the river:

Fake dichotomy. It is not old vs new, it is simple vs complex. The fact the older technology is simpler is just a coincidence.
Was it not known since the 70s that you should never ever use floats for currency? Why would any sane person build a financial calculator using floats?
You can swim there if you want! there's a picture with ppl swimming in Viennas canal (Donaukanal) on the website and there's a whole association around it which claims 300+ members: https://schwimmvereindonaukanal.org/.

That being said, Donauinsel is still quite close to the center and I personally prefer the relative quietness and greenery around there to swimming in the canal.
> If the system was dysfunctional enough to prioritise short term profit seeking to this extent, then all a competitor would have to do to monopolise any market is do enough “long term thinking” to outlast all their failing competitors.

This makes it sound like my broker, the finance community in general, or maybe the state is better able to handle long term thinking than our industry leaders, but why would anyone believe that? Aren’t they all looking quarter to quarter and retiring next year no matter how bad they wreck the company/economy/country?

Not OP but my partner lived in Copenhagen for two years. As with all of Scandinavia fluency in English is very common, practically universal in cities so you can happily live there without speaking a word of the local language. Also unlike most of Europe it's a lot more acceptable to just assume English is spoken and lead with that rather than stumbling through in the native language to start with.

That said it's still polite to learn some basics, e.g. thank you to mix in. If you're planning on living there long term you will want to learn Danish for social purposes unless you're planning to mix exclusively with immigrant communities. It's a very international place so English can often be the default language that any given group will all speak.

Edit: oh and an interesting quirk English is often spoken with an American accent! I think because they watch a lot of American TV shows and movies.
> However you cannot rewrite the former to have the signature of the latter.

Of course I can. I can always change the code to anything I like. That's what "rewriting" is. The question is only whether the business logic still makes sense, and whether the old call site code still works. Just look at the example I gave above.

> You could definitely use `X|Null -> Y` to implement `X -> Y|Null` but that is not what you are claiming.

"Implementing" is a special case of rewriting, so how can you say you can implement something but not rewrite it?

Thats also fine. You can "like to see" everything you want. Question is, what the rest of society believes. Oldest bussiness and all that, I am actually on your side. But that doesn't mean I can ignore what overall society feels and thinks. Besides, there is a difference between consuming payed sex, and having a relationship with a (ex) sex worker. The difference is quite huge.

Is that the only thing you talk to your friends about?

I mean yeah literally you could talk about your plans [i.e. by yourself or with the other real people] or what's going on in your life and have the bot chime in with thoughts too. You could talk about food, philosophy, politics, travel, complain about stuff, get advice for relationships or work, gossip. All in a group chat setting.

It's not hard to imagine a bot that's able to contribute here and there in a meaningful way in any of these subjects, and other unlimited subjects. But perhaps you weren't open to it in the first place so I'm not going to try to convince you further if you don't buy it; If you don't want to really give it consideration then nobody is going to convince you otherwise.

No one is ever saying "zero regulations are best". There are hundreds of thousands of regulations.

:) what is the correct one? It's different for each server, or even channel. IRC clients usually supported such custom settings. But then there was the matter of the other end of your screen - your terminal and maybe screen session I which it run.

I used to have an IRC config that was different for each server and sometimes channel, then displayed that in one shared encoding with other chat apos, then converted that on the fly with screen to match encoding of other apps.

Now I just had to make sure to convert encodings and line endings of all config files, any text file, or even source code and scripts...

Nowadays you just paste emojis in code and it's there, it works anyone, including the user. Huge change.

Outside of env vars and aliases, my entire config.fish is about 30 lines.
You don't know what I am calling a good coffee. I appreciate some people don't like particularly sour coffee because it's unusual for them but you can do a lot better than nespresso in the realm of that style of darker roast coffee too.

It's really simple, people are happy with it because actually good coffee is so rare that they have nothing to compare against. I also doubt most of these people have ever drank a well brewed light roast espresso anyway so I think your blanket statement about "many people don't particularly like what you are calling good coffee" is bullshit.
