I never mentioned lying. I believe the anxiety is from the confusion. I can understand how empathy can drive anxiety.

I have doubts that a person with imaginary self is capable of understanding another being well enough to be empathetic. I could perceive that the empathy the anxious one is declaring is a rationalization to enlist others in the promotion of the imaginary self.

Warning my only training in this area is life experience.

I once prescribed to the notion that it was wrong to give money to the homeless because it will just be used to feed some addiction. A friend challenged me on that by saying "who care?" Choose to give money or not to give money, who cares what they spend it on, or what they need to get through the day?

I think he was saying base the decision based on your own values and morals, but don't assume so you can make judgements about what they do with that money.
Indeed: some scholars date the synoptic gospels after 70AD because of their metaphysical assumption that predicting the future is impossible.

But late dating creates a host of disparate problems that must be explained. One problem coming to mind: Acts of the Apostles clearly ends with Paul still being alive.

If you simply don't share the assumption that prophecy is fundamentally impossible, then early dating for Mt, Mc and Lc becomes easy to accept on the basis of evidence.

Arecibo is located in the United States. Unless Puerto Rico declared independence recently, that is.

Snide remarks about Texas aside, would you say SpaceX is located in a developing country? Because you'd be hard-pressed to argue that Arecibo was located in a less developed place than SpaceX's South Texas facility.

This comments section is full of people (myself included) who feel otherwise. Art is subjective, but design needs wide appeal. NeXT didn’t have it.
I always find this kind of sentiment weird. Do you think less of yourself for living in the country you’re living in because there are people who do illegal or immoral things? Apple is an organization of 160k employees. Even from a numbers game someone is going to be doing something problematic.

Additionally it’s important to remember that the news report is a one-sided interview basically. It’s hard to know what’s going to be established as fact here until it hits the courts.

More likely the housing had requirements like strict abstinence without providing any of the support they would need to actually quit.

When people aren't using the services there's always a reason. You might not find that reason valid ("well then they should just quit" etc) but it's there. An addict on the street isn't having a better time than you would be doing the same thing. You have to consider why they experience that as a better option for themselves than the one you're presenting.
There's precedent for wooden rockety things: the German WW2 Rheintochter, which had plywood control fins. Never went into space, obviously, but we sometimes forget now how useful wood can be.

Let's make this more concrete because assigning speed to languages is a fools errand. Python is doing a lot more per line of code than compiled languages to enable its very flexible semantics. In cases where this flexibility is desired you won't see much more performance in a compiled language as you'll have just implemented Python-like semantics on top of your compiled language— GObject is a good example of this. More famously this is Greenspun's tenth rule.

> Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.

But where this flexibility isn't required, which is a lot of performance sensitive number crunching code the cost of the flexibility bites you. You can't "turn it off" when you want control down to the instruction for a truly massive performance win. Which is why I think the model Python has of highly expressive and flexible language backed by high-performance compiled libraries is so successful.

Python will never be number crunching or parsing with the best of them because it would require essentially a whole new language to express the low-level constraints but for high-level code that relies on Python's semantics you can get performance wins that can't be accomplished just by switching to a compiled language. We've just taken the "embedded scripting language" and made
it the primary interface.
I'm sorry for my immoral behavior of generally holding investments for more than a year, contributing to my 401(k) and HSA accounts, buying an EV, and installing energy efficiency upgrades in my house, all of which are driven by tax optimization (at least in part).
Let’s not pretend they aren’t effectively slaves even if the are remunerated to some degree, the liberty of a lot of these people in a country like Saudi is almost zero. If I were India (for example) I’d be wanting to make sure people working abroad still were able to leave and hadn’t had passports confiscated and agreed pay disappear at the very least.
What was the point of microservice architecture if you can't develop each service individually in the first place? Sounds to me like the architecture you're talking about isn't an actual microservice, and it's just ball 'o mud over TCP instead of as a single monolith.

At a previous place of work I worked with a monolith structure, and it was actually perfectly fine. Development got done separately on several large substructures in the monolith, and devs could install the whole project locally and run it just fine.

I'm really wondering why we're all using microservice architecture if we're all convinced that to actually develop on them, devs need to reproduce 50odd of those services locally for debugging. Then what was the point?
No, it’s much more complicated than that. If you scroll a bit further:

When I read things like this and think about how money can influence culture and politics, and the stupid stuff people are worried about.

Presumably, cooking/heat causes (or accelerates) some chemical reactions (like with enzymes) which turns those nutrients into something else, or the heat destroys the more complicated molecules, or allows the water to leech away dissolved stuff.

Freezing generally means lowered rate of chemical reactions, water no longer flows, etc. So it makes logical sense that freezing keeps the nutrients intact.
The stories from that place in past years and their consistency... How workers or nannies are treated like literal slaves, sanctioned or not (or at least out in plain sight and completely unpunished). Nepalis, Philipinos and similar nationalities with 0 possibilities to defend themselves, and often even run away since passports were forcibly taken.

That place has absolutely nothing in common with western morals and mindset, rather being few centuries behind. Think about it next time you buy any product from there (and good luck with oil obviously, so this crap falls on most of us in tiny pieces).

But I guess military bases there trump some pesky human rights, as long as they are not westerners.
sure but in the meantime, while we're still just studying, best to keep the petri dish uncontaminated
A lot of BigCo people's (myself included) perception of Java is tainted by the challenges of old, inherited code bases. Java has been ubiquitous for a long time, and it's not surprising to accumulate code bases that have been underserved maintenance-wise over the years. Updating dependencies on a Java 8 codebase isn't much fun, especially because semvar wasn't widely followed back in those days.
In the world where they only hired people who told them they live and work in Chicago. Not saying that's what happened here, but it'd really not be their fault if people took advantage of a situation and moved away or lied during an interview/on the contract. Are you sure they don't have Chicago as the contractual place of work? In Europe that's standard if you work remotely - exactly because of this.
as HPV isn’t solely an STD, promiscuity isn’t required for exposure and is a red herring to being inoculated against it

I’m guessing your reply was about quantifying “strain on the healthcare system”, frequency of positive STD diagnosis and treatment is not as stressful as frequency of cancer diagnosis and treatment

HPV inoculation mitigates several cancers from manifesting and subsequently advancing, no matter how promiscuous people choose to be

on an individual basis, it is a low effort thing to take an HPV vaccine, no different than the regime for inoculating against chicken pox. its wild to think that if chickenpox was linked to cancers where genitalia happens to be and go, that developed nations around the world would have had issues rolling it out, like, get over it? People can consider changing their relationship with the government if they think state involvement is the same as its endorsement of contributing activities
They obviously target the companies the highest revenues. Also you would be suprised. For example Klarna, a Swedish company, is often in trouble with the Swedish tax authorities.

A few years ago they had to pay huge amounts of money to the Swedish government because of some tax-dodging loophole was deemed illegal by court-order. So Klarna went into a desperate attempt to last-minute cut costs to not tank the stock value due to much lower expected returns that quarter.

It was kinda funny because the employees of Klarna are unionized they couldn't just fire anyone on short notice like that, but they did let go pretty much all consultants in one swoop. If this was the US the CEO would have just fired a bunch of people because the CFO f-ed up. For a few months there was a major glut of former-Klarna consultants around in Stockholm, two of them ended up at my company at the time.

I couldn't find details about this tax dodging online (it was around 5 years ago), but here is another article about Klarna being in trouble over GDPR violations:

It's even more confronting because folks from Saudi Arabia literary own many of the outlets, products and services available in western countries.

It's in Puerto Rico, a US territory that has toyed with formally joining the union as a proper state. This is NOT a developing country.
This isn't a substantive response to the article. This article isn't reporting on the complainant's allegations, which are a few years old at this point.

Instead, the article is reporting on a five-day-old decision by the US National Labor Relations Board finding her allegations sufficiently justified that the NLRB itself is asking Apple to give her specified remedies in a settlement, and is scheduling an administrative hearing as part of an official enforcement proceeding by the government against Apple.

While you're right that much journalism is just ghost writing for the wealthy, there's no evidence of that in this article. I think The Register would eagerly write about an NLRB decision against Apple regardless of whether anyone wealthy is pushing the story.
I don't know what the syntax should look like.

But the most common pattern is a sequence of calls to functions that return an optional error plus the happy path value, followed by a short circuiting check of the error, followed by a call to another function with the happy path value as an argument. It's very common to have a chain of these kinds of calls making up the body of a function.

It seems like "return err" is very useful for this pattern, if I understand you correctly. A function returning the error from the first call it makes that fails, or the happy path value if all the calls succeed. Seems like it should be possible to bake that pattern into the language, but its tricky doing it a way that doesn't obfuscate the underlying semantics, which is very important to many Go developers.
Based on our results and previous work, these LLMs appear to have brittle, inflexible abstractions of what represents an alphabet in the context of the letter-string analogy task, despite being given the ordered list of letters/symbols before each item. It appears that LLMs like GPT-4 can only perform this abstraction by creating and executing code to map the novel alphabet to new positions

In contrast, in children, familiarity with letters or symbols does not seem to influence how well they solve letter-string analogies. As such, our results add to the accumulating evidence that questions whether reasoning actually occurs in these LLMs

Not terribly surprising I would think, but a nice study to have in case someone has had to much Kool-Aid.
My advice is to find a new product. NFTs are not a provably binding contract - software licenses are. You are investing in a nothingburger.
Higher wages make up for all that, especially in big tech where people do get basically the same benefits as Europeans but at 4x the wage lol: unlimited or at least several weeks of vacation, excellent healthcare, etc. Sure, your point stands for regular workers, but not for tech workers. There's a reason people clamor to come to the US for tech jobs, and it's not because Europe is better for benefits.
Why don't you ask this from the russians?
Our $work let's us embed the dot diagrams in our wiki and just renders them. Maybe look for a plugin for whatever you're using?

> Not even a little. You're just virtue signaling.

Wouldn’t admitting I’m evil be the opposite of virtue signaling?

> What part of my behavior is irrational?

None because you spent a lot of effort rationalizing your behavior. I was more referring to your behavior prior to the rationalization.

I’m the one who is irrational. I live with the contradiction. I like to think of myself as a good moral human being who tips and cares about other people. Yet I don’t care about homeless people and I’m ok with this contradiction.

Maybe I’m rationalizing it away by saying I’m evil. But how does that explain me treating non homeless people nicely with great respect?

> I'm not. Assuming there is even something that could rightly be called evil, I'm not that. You should look into medications for cluster b disorders.

People like me are normal. I think you’re out of touch with how prevalent it is. To advise me to take medication shows this.

You feel a strong need to rationalize your behavior. I don’t. That’s relatively the main difference between us because externally our behavior is identical.
Ah yes the old "we shouldn't fix anything because people will do it more and it'll be a wash" argument. Complete nonsense. Your argument is, essentially, saying that we shouldn't make airplanes safer because if we did more people would fly and the deaths would remain the same. Does that pass the sniff test to you? Of course not. It only seems to make sense to you because of the little sprinkling of irrational puritanism you're including with your argument.
There's a write-in spot on ballots for a reason.

That said there are more than people on ballots to vote for, and some of those things (open space, conceal and carry laws, abortion restrictions, school choice) are possibly more important than the people at the top of the ticket because as local measures they have a higher chance to directly affect you.
They're so backlogged on the prevention that the need for a cure is 100% of all available resources.

This is a "US Federal Government" thing. The funding for this department is decided fairly short term, so it is a political thing dependent on the current government, especially how it feels about California, climate change, etc.
That's rich coming from French. Long time ago France Telecom bought Polish top phone network. Immediately rebranded it to Orange (despite the fact that the company had one of the strongest brands on market where it operated).

Unsurprisingly the licensing fees for using Orange brand that the Polish company had to pay to France Telecom amounted to large percentage of taxable profits that the Polish company had. Overt theft from Polish company and Polish taxpayers.

Many historical mystical experiences are triggered by asceticism. Restricting food, water, social contact, sex, oxygen — engagement in extreme darkness, extreme cold, fatigue, meditation. In short, one could argue, there is no such thing as "sober mystical experiences." They are an altered state of consciousness.

Importantly, the mysticism scale is not a “drug induced mysticism scale.”

The Pythagorean-Platonic tradition is rich — and let me be careful to say that I'm not making the claim that all philosophy is the same everywhere. But mystical concepts of unity and harmony are precisely perennial because of the shared nature of mystical experiences. Mystical christianity, mystical judaism, mystical islam, mystical buddhism, mystical taoism, mystical shintoism... The experiences have a lot in common. There are a number of surprising alignments between the Dao De Jing and Presocratic philosophy. I’d be happy to share.
21,000 people seems like a massive amount of dead. I know that Saudi Arabia and other gulf states abuse foreign workers horribly, but can the death tool really be that high? That works out to 3,000 per year. That seems incredibly high. How can that only be coming out now?

That is way more than the number of Chinese deaths building Canada's railway, which I always thought was a poster child for immigrant abuse: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/canadian-p....

Turns out that 30% of the population in Saudi Arabia is foreign workers, so 10M or so, thus 21,000 is roughly one dead per 500 foreign workers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_workers_in_Saudi_Arabi...

This 21,000 deaths, is it including natural deaths or something other than dying as a result of the job?

If it is true, then we need intervention as the death toll is approaching what one would expect in war zone.

It feels like the solution is, to my privacy ideal dismay, biometrics so that you don't need the passport. You show up at a checkpoint, you're identity proofed on the spot, you get to leave, even if you need to be escorted to the plane by your country's in country diplomatic team.

I can already show up at a US embassy or consulate anywhere in the world and provide them my passport serial number to have a new one cut in an hour if I've lost mine, the gap to close is not big policy wise. Otherwise, we're relying on "magic government credential" which can be held hostage to hold a human hostage. Silliness.

I suspect its more about the ability at scale to appeal prop value increases. At enough scale you have data points on maybe ways to get an edge in appealing the increase. Its on a county/state rule level so I could not say much more but my mental model is if you have 100 SFH in the same county, you may be able to come up with datapoints to appeal or reduce the increase which can provide an edge. They are definitely not negotiating though.
First of all: terribly sorry about your loss.
