No, please don't speak for me.

If anything, my point was the same but for people in Asia in regards to China/Russia.

A tiny population rarely in control of their own future, and ethnically + culturally acceptable to the US.
It makes perfect sense. Reviewers want something to differentiate it from the iPhone and to rave about, so they choose the headphone jack.

Whereas users, and Google absolutely has the data for this, are probably mostly using bluetooh ear pods or headphones and so Google knows real users don't care.

The decline of the West continues
This issue has been going on well before C19. The BBC have abused their power and it is absolutely ridiculous that people have to pay license fees to them when media has changed so much.
Honestly having The Guardian posted is the same as The Daily Mail, just the leftist version.
Europe is a Ponzi scheme where by immigrants are pulled in en mass ever decade to provide fresh liquidity while the generational members of the country enjoy themselves and add zero value.

Unfortunately new immigrants have cottoned onto this and don't play the game that has been setup for them. They run their own separate economies and send most of their untaxed money back home.

For that reason, Europe is a terminal patient.

Priti Patel, our Home Minister. The champagne socialists' biggest enemy after Boris because she doesn't behave like a brown person should.

I think this is pretty well known? It's a good idea too for GitHub to protect it's users.

Re:How Time Series Databases Work, and Where They Don’t on Monday October 18, 2021 @04:51AM (#28903434)
I wouldn't take this as the one truth, they are describing their database more than they are describing all timeseries databases.

Just like MySQL and Postgres can behave wildly differently depending on use, so can timeseriesdbs, there is no one truth here.

Ah, yes, the NYT, for when you really want the truth...
Wonder if Covid, in terms of deaths, ends up being seen as a significant moment in history as it moved the needle on different kinds of vaccines/treatments and they, in turn, saved more lives than Covid could claim...

People have pride in their work. The MegaCorp, the politics, the noise all fades away and you just want to X or achieve Y. It's not something to belittle, it's something to be celebrated.

Not everything has to come back down to a paycheck. You can be paid for work but you can absolutely love what you do and/or the challenge it brings to your life.

It is, however, disgusting.
Re:Datafuse – Modern Real-Time Data Processing in Rust on Thursday August 05, 2021 @08:47AM (#28072929)
The problem with these queries is that they just aren't realistic in a production system. Over time the queries become more complex, include more edge-cases and cruft, and your main goal is that they complete with accuracy rather than if it was 5s or 50s.

I don't think "from The Lancet" has the same weight as it used to.
And, of course, you have some proof to back this up and prove you're not regurgitating Twitter-mindthink?
What did you do to elicit that response?
> After years of studying it, I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology

We need a bingo for when and how people include 'right-wing' into things for likes.

Arghh, they should have conviction and pushed this one through. The latest design wastes so much space.

Everyone you disagree with is not 'alt-right'. It's impossible to have an intellectual discussion if it's just the race to the bottom of name-calling.
The British education system is too busy being involved in political movements to actually educate children.

We have a huge issue with the degree-laden failures of society ending up as teachers as pay is terrible and the bar to entry is extremely low.

These teachers couldn't function in the real world with their beliefs , and so they take it upon themselves to brainwash their young and captive audiences in lieu of actually educating them.

With adults, not every conversation has to be about history either party can control, so the relationship usually looks towards the future.

Which is the same generally for the Bay Area VC circuit.

Same VCs that a year ago "didn't feel like [they] could provide value" to remote companies, are suddenly flooding your inbox saying they only believe in remote companies going forward...

Can you point to some proof about what you said re: Jesse Singal? I feel like you've read some tweets and made up your mind instead of actually researching someone you've just lied about on a public forum.
