> Because it’s becoming increasingly obviously dumb to be paying farmers money to pretend like they are farming their land.

This is a particularly ignorant and clueless opinion to have.

The whole point of Europe's common agricultural policy is to preserve the potential of agricultural production as a strategic asset. Europe's strong economy and huge population density, coupled with cheap access to agricultural production from south America and Africa, renders most agricultural activity economically unfeasible. The problem is that this means Europe is particularly vulnerable to a blockade, and in case of all out war the whole continent risks being starved in a few months.

The whole point of EU's common agricultural policy is to minimize this risk.

Owners of farmland are provided a incentive to keep their farms on standby even if they don't produce anything exactly to mitigate this risk. It would be more profitable to invest in some domains such as, say, real estate. Look at the Netherlands: they are experiencing a huge housing crisis and the whole land in Holland consists of dense urban housing bordered by farm land. It would be tempting for farmers to just cash out on real estate if they didn't had an economic upside.

You would do better if you educated yourself on a topic before commenting on it.

Not necessarily. For one its simply impractical to offer free services in a society that isnt based on such a concept of free. This is a capitalist society. Whether one likes it or is against it, the design of things here prevents altruism for altruisms sake. Someone MUST pay, the flow of capital expects a return. Also nursing homes have no better of a reputation as the asylums except where the most obvious most heinous offenses are ommitted. But to be honest the institutional setting carries pitfalls as well which do not lend themselves towards cure or resolution but other issues further compounding the probem.
I'm genuinely curious what kind of real-world construction and materials are used to create the "blocky" textured buildings and architectural elements.

Like is it regular construction with a bunch of plastic "boxes" covering the outside, with some kind of printed vinyl coverings? How is it made heavy-duty enough both without cracking as well as without the printed texture scratching off or fading?

What do you do about all the rain that collects on the top of every box? Is there some kind of drainage system?

I'm sure these are solved problems -- I'm just curious what the solution is.

It's amazing that you've been able to put in words exactly what I have observed ever since I had kids of my own.

Lego used to be such a big part of my childhood, a creative outline bar none. The amazing realization that with a few basic blocks, you can build so many different things - letting your creativity go wild and build your own worlds.

But like you said, today, you buy a box set and it comes with a whole bunch of super specific pieces. Sure, the result will perhaps look much more real if your race car model now has an appropriately bend fender piece instead of a step approximation. But you'll never be able to reuse that piece for anything else.

But what's worse is that I do not see any desire in my kids to even try and come up with their own creations. It's exactly like you said, they enjoy following the instruction and build the exact thing this box was meant to be, and that's it. Play with it and then it gets dissambled again after a while. They might build it again, yeah, sure, but always exactly like it was predesigned by the company. Instead of fostering creative kids, we're breeding robots. I thought it was just my children so I'm very interested to read someone else having had the same experience.

No wonder that Minecraft then has taken over that niche. My kids are too young and don't know the game yet, I've been trying to reduce screen time. But if the real world and tangible toys aren't inspiring them as much as they did when I was young, it makes you wonder if you shouldn't allow them to express themselves at digitally at an earlier age.

It is a valid comparison to expose the similarity of one thing that someone thinks is reasonable to another thing that everyone should recognize is not.

It is "LOL" to read that only literally.
To a point. I have found that subordinates always have to feel that they have a "little secret edge" over their managers.

In my experience, this is both harmless and necessary. If I, as a manager, can't handle that, then I'm kinda screwed.

But it is also highly dependent on the types of people we manage.

Bing. Otherwise nowhere else will fit your description so you gotta advertise in places you think isn't the best until you figure out some that work.
I grew up with Legos but I don't think they did anything for my delicate motor skills. The blocks don't require precision to snap together. You're not using tweezers or anything.

If delicate motor skills are something that needs developing, it seems like handwriting and drawing and painting are going to be infinitely more effective than building with Legos, no?
> How does having such a large surplus (...)

You should educate yourself. Europe imports around 40% of the agricultural production it consumes.

The "surplus" is referenced in economical value and reflects luxury exports such as wine, which is hardly what keeps Europe alive in case of all-out war.

The whole point of Europe's common agricultural policy is food security including an event of all-out war.

Society has a say in what you can do with a gun you just bought, the manufacturer and gun shop doesn’t. Thus restrictions by the seller is what matters here.

It can be stolen from the bank. Walk away from a loan and you are not out the full value of the item as the bank can only repossess the car from whoever stole it.
The one-process-per-request model, even with php-fpm and other optimisations, it’s incredibly expensive to scale.

Lego seems like plastic model kits for adults more than the building and creating it was originally. I wonder what the kids to adults breakdown is for Lego.

I can tell you right now handing out straight cash will NOT go well for anyone.
I agree. And the insecurity that these managers feel makes them very poor leaders. They tend to be overly subservient to higher-ups and just pass all management decisions down the chain without too much thought. And they like to punish any disagreement (no matter how reasonable) from their subordinates. Insecurity is the opposite of a culture of trust. And where there is no trust, there is no real leadership.
Well, lectureships are teaching jobs, not research jobs, that's my point. I don't think it has anything to do with the department, if you sign a contract that says you have to teach, you're gonna have to teach, however much of your time it takes- and it is going to take up most of your time. Anyway from my point of view, any amount of time you spend on not doing research is a mallus on your productivity as a researcher.

I mean that's why most mid-level and senior academics leave the research to their PhD students and post-docs. Yes? Because they don't have the time to do it themselves.

It's not just H1-Bs from those cultures, either. I'll give everybody a fair shot but if your cultural mores are extreme deference to authority I'd like to be far away from you when doing anything serious.

Sounds culturally biased. From working in northern Europe and especially with people from Scandinavian countries, I'd say that for each of those examples the 'wrong' choice would be the more likely to be exchanged and taken at face value.

Whereas when I work with people from the US a lot of fluff is always needed or offense may be taken. Just as the article purports.

And there is also body language. Here is one of my favorite exchanges I once witnessed, between two senior leaders, one Spanish, one Finnish, after a few beers at a company party. I leave it to the inclined reader to guess who is from which country.

What's more? Have in mind that an airplane is not a restaurant. It should not even serve food. Although the food industry wants people to believe we need to eat every 3 hours, that's very far from being true.

Besides that, most delays in flights happen because of bad weather. I agree with what you are saying but you really got a bad example to highlight the problem.

> Denmark is not even close to jeopardizing its food supply, even less its food security. It produces way more food than is needed to feed its own population.

Denmark is a part of the EU. Their agricultural policy follows EU's common agricultural policy. Food security is evaluated accounting for all members, not individual member-states in isolation. In case of a scenario that puts food security at risk, such as an all-out war, it's in her best interests of all member states if the whole Europe can preserve it's food security.

30 years ago I never saw raw brick sets in the stores and certainly never had any.

The sets were filled with space pieces like satellite dishes, city pieces like garage doors, medieval castle pieces, and so forth.

Once you built the set you got bored of it within a few days and its pieces went in the pile that you built new things out of. That was your raw brick set. The garage door became the ceiling of a spacecraft.

I don't see why it would be different with the sets now. They're just as themed as they were 30 years ago, the only difference is that they've gone from generic themes like "space" to branded themes like "Star Wars".

And if there are a few more custom pieces per set, I don't think that prevents their reuse in other ways.

If anything has changed, it's just that kids have a lot more options now. If kids play less with Legos, that's not because the sets have changed.
(Re)affirm design principles for future C++ evolution [pdf]
What threat does that prevent? If we don’t trust the storage of ballots, don’t we have the same problem with the storage of the serial numbers? If people are claiming that ballots are being tampered with of fakes, those people will immediately pivot to saying that the serial numbers were legit but attached to new ballots, or that the voting machine switched fields when creating the ballot, etc.

The underlying problem here isn’t that there’s anything wrong with the American voting system. It’s that the weight of one of the two major parties and a multi-billion dollar media network were put behind the conclusion that Trump didn’t lose in 2020, and everything else is confabulation backwards from that conclusion which cannot be questioned. Trying to come up with technical solutions for that is doomed from the start because the concerns were never rational in the first place – it’s like trying to win over a creationist of the “god made it look like we evolved” school.
Exactly this. Somewhat an issue here though, that this is essentially a matter of a person's culture. What you've said is most likely true for WEIRD (acronym) people, but for other cultures where retailiation is quite possible, one either have to dance that silly dances, or indeed polish their CV.

Is anyone working on implementing the three laws of robotics? (Or have we come up with a better model?)

Edit: Being completely serious here. My reasoning was that if the robot had a comprehensive model of the world and of how harm can come to humans, and was designed to avoid that, then jailbreaks that cause dangerous behavior could be rejected at that level. (i.e. human safety would take priority over obeying instructions... which is literally the Three Laws.)
>> At the end of the day, you eventually need a permanent position

Yes, unfortunately. I'm not saying it's easy, but from what I can tell it's possible: you can have your entire academic career as a long string of fellowships.

>> Lectureships demand significant research and teaching and supervision experience.

Yes, but we know that in practice what that means is that the professor leaves the research work to their PhDs and post-docs, and then puts their name on it at the end. Sometimes that's because the professor has run out of good ideas, sometimes it's because they don't really care, most of the time it's because their lectureship duties leave them without enough time to do it.

This was not my experience during my PhD, btw, my supervisor (who is retiring next month, three years after supervising my PhD) was an active participant in my research and he had his own totally hands-on line of research that he pursued separately ... and whenever I told people about that they were full of surprise. "Don't tell me that he is still coding?". That sort of thing. People were surprised because that just doesn't happen.

>> In some fields getting a lectureship after your PhD or postdoc might be extremely difficult as the market is too crowded.

I've had an offer that I turned down because it was in China, and a discussion about another in the UK that I didn't even consider. Teaching is the death of a research career, that's what I've seen and I'm not going anywhere near it. What that means I don't know. It's possible that my research career is already over anyway- next week is the last of my post-doc and I don't have anything lined up after it :/
Not sure this _is_ a huge issue. As someone who's not involved it just seems like standard issue interpersonal drama that happens on every committee, board etc and to every tech project from time to time.

eg in linux, git exists because of the Larry McEvoy Bitkeeper drama, there was the Eric S Raymond kernel build config drama, there were numerous Reiserfs and devfs dramas, etc etc etc. In the gnu/fsf world we have had the recent guy leaves because he doesn't like the fact that treesitter is the standard c++ mode drama, you had the emacs vs xemacs dramas, numerous "RMS intervenes to prevent people having an intermediate representation in the GCC compiler" dramas, etc etc. The list is incredibly long. People fight and lose political battles. They leave some committee that most people don't care about. Nothing really important is affected in any way.

Here as someone who was not involved it seems both sides are a bit unreasonable, and some guy has left the standards committee as a result. Really doesn't seem like you complaining about how reddit mods have responded to your posting there has any relevance here.
Fat cells have a memory of obesity – hinting at why it's hard to keep weight off
I do see your point, but I think some context about where I work helps here. It's a very chilled company and all teams are very self-organising. In the case of me needing to find cover, I would just drop a message in our on-call slack channel and someone will almost always pick it up (and do the necessary stuff like adding an override in the opsgenie rotation). If nobody happens to see it (unlikely) then I would just let the alerts escalate to the next person who would be happy to pick it up because they know that people don't let alerts escalate without a good reason. Everyone cares about their colleagues so they want to help if they can (it's also quite a small company).

The grid can’t move infinite power through any one point.

Substations and long distance transmission lines make local production a meaningful thing with real upsides. The overall grid avoids losses when power isn’t going through long distance transmission lines. Further as heat increases transmission losses and transmission losses produce heat, lowering the power sent through a long distance transmission line makes it more efficient.
It's not a bad bet. 180 million monthly active users. Skews young, average user mid 20s.

Consider that a a lot of video games are crowing about having a few 10K's of concurrent online players. Minecraft, 180M per month, been doing numbers like this for years.

This generation (20somethings and younger) generally loves selfie opportunities with their favorite characters, that drives a huge amount of interest in existing parks like Disney, Universal etc. Of course the Minecraft characters don't have brand recognition like Mickey or the Minions. Yet. But those 180M are way more deeply engaged with Minecraft than they are with any movie character.

If you were going to pour money into building that character recognition, or try any number of other tweaks to the theme park formula, Minecraft's a viable place to start just due to the scale.
I'd go with `cerr << request.DebugString() << '...' << response.DebugString();`, preferably with your favourite logger instead of `stdout`. My browser does the equivalent for me just fine, but that required an extension.

I buy the familiarity argument, but I usually don't see the wire format at all. And maintenance-wise, protobufs seem easier to me. But that's because, e.g., someone set up a presubmit for me that yells at me if my change isn't backwards compatible. That's kind of hard to do if you don't have a formal specification of what goes into your protocol.
