I checked the news in my country and they say it's illegal here on the ground that the supreme court ruled "the toxicity is public knowledge."

Stupidity...

bedrooms ,

Sometimes I wonder if POTUS could declare national emergency due to an unhinged SCOTUS.

bedrooms ,

Nah, that's rather what right wingers do.

I'm from Japan. They don't even have judges as corrupt as SCOTUS and still don't allow same sex marriage because the ruling party is conservative. Well, the court ruled it's unconstitutional, but we learned that a law in this country can stay unconstitutional if the government ignores the situation. And apparently 90% of the people (at least on the internet) support that because they are conservative.

Makes me realize how broken my country is. It doesn't even count as corruption because it's lawful. Fucking hell...

Singin' we will we will rock you!

No idea why this is controversial. As a compsci researcher I have always been exploited for their spreadsheets that only satisfy government officials and not the society.

The hearing, entitled "The U.S. Technology Fueling Russia's War in Ukraine: How and Why,"

I sometimes think US politicians make them sound like high schoolers yet to receive higher education.

Bundestag votes against Taurus missiles for Ukraine, supports sending 'necessary long-range missiles' ( kyivindependent.com )

The German parliament held two votes on providing long-range weapons to Ukraine on Feb. 22, first rejecting a motion explicitly mentioning Taurus missiles, followed by supporting a motion calling for Germany to send additional long-range weapons.

bedrooms ,

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is reportedly against sending Taurus missiles to Kyiv because he fears the move will draw Germany into the war.

They're still arguing that nonsense... Putin won't care about anything. If Germany doesn't supply enough weapons, they'll be dragged into the war in a worse way.

I'm looking for a way to create webpages without HTML, any tips?

Hello! I'll try to explain what I'm looking for: I sometimes have to write simple web pages (not just text, also buttons and video players and so on), but I really really hate writing html code. What I'm used to is QML, which I like a lot, because of the ease of placing objects exactly where I need using the anchors and the...

Exactly what I feel about HTML after using QML.

Although there are already comments with good libs, you could also look into services like Weebly.

an engineering manager said during an interview, “OK, we’re going to build a To Do List app right now,” a process that might normally take weeks.

Tbf you can do that in one day with ChatGPT, although it requires some generic software engineering skills. But that's the point.

Even if you don't complete the task, the process of coding can prove your skill level in a positive way.

bedrooms ,

Also, they often don't read more than a few lines. I applied as a dev for a company which I had many friends inside. They all knew my skills. The problem was the high-level managers because they didn't read the memo (and didn't even read my CV), assumed I can't do engineering because I was an academic at the time.

bedrooms ,

I mean, if you argue that way during the interview I'd pass... Nobody thinks you're asked to do all that in a one-day interview.

It's how this publisher works. They make it insanely difficult for reviewers to reject a submission.

bedrooms , (edited )

The biggest problem with Frontiers for me is that there are some handy survey articles that are cited like 500 times. It seems that Interdisciplinary surveys are hard to publish in a traditional journal, and as a result 500 articles cited this handy overview article for readers who would need an overview.

The article I checked was in a reasonable quality, and it's a shame I can't cite it just because it's in Frontiers.

bedrooms ,

Actually, figures should be checked during the reviewing process. It's not an excuse.

bedrooms ,

No, "should be" as in, it must be reviewed but can be skipped if there's a concern like revealing the author identity in a double-blind process.

Worried House Republicans are looking to Johnson for plans for keeping their majority after record-low productivity for this Congress. Instead, he is offering thoughts and prayers.

The one time a Republican politician sent serious thoughts and prayers lmao

Pro-Kremlin military blogger dead after reporting Russia's losses in Avdiivka ( kyivindependent.com )

Andrey Morozov, who wrote under the pseudonym "Murz" on Telegram, was a pro-Kremlin commentator who participated in Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian state-run media and other military bloggers said he died by suicide.

That window, though.

AIs are inaccurate. Conservatives are stupid.

Vladimir Putin upgrades rank of Russian Penitentiary Service deputy head three days after Navalny’s death in prison ( meduza.io )

Vladimir Putin has decorated Valery Boyarinev, the deputy director of Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN), with the rank of colonel general. The accolade comes just days after opposition leader Alexey Navalny died in prison.

Putin rotting his own institutions again...

bedrooms ,

the timing is extremely odd

Right?

Not by Putin, but the most brutal I know in the history was for the previous Japanese Emperor in 1948. They executed A-class war criminals (his father's cronies) on his birthday. The most shocking part imo is that he was only becoming 15.

Killed acquaintances of a kid on his birthday omg...

Someone should make a placard to ask House Republicans the taste of Putin's dick.

These things should go like, NATO operate their best equipments 1cm outside the UA border and let the UA military personnels push the final button after moving these 1cm in.

Why do you let unelected judges decide your policies?

I'm so happy I never applied for this kind of mass job hunting. I just didn't like it. I couldn't believe it was the right thing to do. Turned out, I don't regret turning down BS.

bedrooms , (edited )

It's a result of systematic job training and matching. 10s of thousands of people with similar backgrounds (college / university degrees, formalized through central controls, for example), applying through a few websites.

There's of course gonna be mass application.

bedrooms ,

Reading this article, these tools look into characteristics like hobbies, while apparently ignoring logic in a written text. Sure, the outcome's gonna be horrible.

Also, you're gonna miss unique talents because all it does is to learn typical good candidates. No way you'll find Jobs!

bedrooms ,

I can imagine. Vast majority of applications I receive as a manager has nothing to do with the job. Those are often just copypasta used for dozens of letters.

I am a highly skilled...

Just read the first 5 words and throw it away.

I think it's nicer if there are more in the lesser owning class, so that anyone can reach there if they work hard, which is not the case today.

bedrooms ,

I mean, if you view them as owners, yes, and that's also the reality. But I want to argue there need to be good leaders.

bedrooms ,

I'm out. Good luck with your view.

Edit: out because I don't see a sign you're ready to accept reality.

bedrooms , (edited )

No.

Anyone who controls said necessities but at least employs or otherwise benefits people of the working class.

There are overlaps, but I'm tired of explaining nuances in this thread. I didn't even write the owning class is good leaders. I instead mean that I wish what OP labeled as the owning class gets replaced with good leaders.

I respect Jeff Bezos because he works so hard he could only send dick pics during company meetings.

Possibly her contribution was important, but tbh it's also generally easy to cherry pick records to invent narratives like this.

Ocasio-Cortez again asked Cohen if the former president had ever inflated his assets. "Yes," Cohen answered.

This fraud was already documented at the time by journalists. Do you call this the "beginning", then? Also, Cohen was collaborating with authorities. Would the investigation not happen without that testimony?

Although AOC contributed there, this article is rather shallow as it misses the bigger picture where AOC was not in the center in my opinion.

Journalist Craig Unger at least mentioned this in 2018 in his book House of Trump, House of Putin. Likely that book is not the original source on this, so there should be some earlier one.

bedrooms ,

Nah... how do you argue it's not a coincidence? There are likely hundreds of people who worked hard to make this outcome possible.

bedrooms ,

Thanks for sharing your personal opinion.

The pattern is, the latter are targets of Russian operations, and so far it seems to be successful at generating kompromats.

Faster backup solution?

I use Beyond Compare to sync files from my laptop to my NAS which is a QNAP (my laptop is Linux Mint). It is incredibly slow, to the point that it is driving me crazy. Admittedly, I have lots of large files on my laptop that I move around frequently, so that may just be how it is. I do have my laptop setup to sync to my phone...

bedrooms ,

Sure, diff tools aren't meant for this. At least you could try dedicated backup tools like borg.

Another thing: schedule the backup to happen while you sleep or have lunch.

Give medieval people 200 years. Someone in the lineage will cheat, I guess.

I'm convinced by the opinion that Putin will funnel money for this through Trump's golden sneaker sell scheme. According to this theory, Trump's not gonna pay with his money.

I wonder if this dark money would give him some consequence on its own. Maybe more kompromats in the US, I don't know...
