there will be serious sand in the gears of global commerce for the foreseeable future.
Or will there? Certainly, serious issues for US trade, but the rest of us can trade with each other just fine. We’re already seeing that start to happen.
20.5 in winter and 21.5 in the summer.
That number is supposed to be how much of the tariff that the exporter passes through to the importer. Essentially this is a measure of how much the producers lower their profits to lower the price to compensate for the tariffs. In other words how much the producer “pays for” the tariffs.
This factor is “backwards”, in that it doesn’t represent how much the producer swallows, but how much they pass on to the importer. Trump’s calculations assume that the producer only passes on 25% of the tariff price increase, but the experts say the number should be much closer to 95%.
I have to idea what “4” means.
I’m not no sure. 90%+ of these services are commodities and nobody gives a damn who the provider is from a technical perspective. There’s no physical component, so it’s literally a matter of signing a contract, spinning up a server/service, move the data and point everything to the new service.
And yeah, there are technical issues that come up, and nothing is ever that easy. But think about how fast many, many companies were able to sort that kind stuff out when the had to when COVID hit.
And that’s the thing. Cloud service disruption can be an existential crisis, so why would you leave it in the hands of a hostile foreign power?
It’s a close call, but I think the IOC just edges out FIFA in overall corruptness.
I got confused about which side not to believe when one of the most corrupt governments on the planet starts mucking with one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet.

Bob’s Red Mill makes an adequate substitute. It’s not as uniform as McCann, but it is good.
FWIW: It never even occured to me that they might have meant removing speed limits. I had to go back and re-read it a few times to see what the beef was.
Context is important here. Sure, “drop” could mean two things, but anything other than “lowering” in this case wouldn’t make sense. IMHO, at least.
No way. When something numerical is “dropped” it usually means lowered. Especially in the form “drop numerical value”, as was this case.
The reason for leaving in the password.trim() would be one of the few things that I would ever document with a comment.
I used KDE Connect on Ubuntu with Gnome. No issues.
Old school Unix guy here…vi,awk and sed are all that you need.
You might want to think about it a bit more before putting it to work. The comment with the streams example is far, far better.
Actually…yes. At least for the “war criminal”. I think the point is that you can’t hide your inner feelings from the feather. So if you genuinely, in the deepest depths of your heart, have no qualms about bombing civilians then you’re fine.
I think this points out the fundamental relativistic nature of morality and how the feather copes with it. Everyone has some sort of moral compass, and the feather measures how true you were to it. And really, what more can you ask of anyone? Decide, for yourself, what is right and what is wrong and stick to it.
Putting aside the fact that a toddler probably lacks the intellectual or emotional development to have a truely personal morality, I cannot imagine that someone who “broods” all their life over kicking a kitten when they were three is anything other than the nicest most moral person you’ll ever meet. I don’t think that have any trouble with Anubis and Thoth.
Anubis and Thoth weighing the heart of the dead to see if it is as light as a feather before letting them into the afterlife.
I love the idea that there’s no “do this, do that”, or a concrete set of rules or commandments. But the idea that if you can look back on your life, and if your heart isn’t weighed down with the burden of all of the things that you did that know we’re just wrong…then you can go on to the afterlife.
It’s just no much more of a reasonable, adult approach to morality.
I think there might be a better way to deliver “ballistic missiles to Russia”.
It’s just a modern version of “Fuzzy Logic”
To explain for those not in Canada… It is usual in Canada for a job to start with a low level of PTO an then add a week every few years that you stay with the company. This usually is capped at 6 weeks.
You can, of course negotiate an amount of PTO when you accept a job. Someone coming into a more senior position wouldn’t expect to start with just two weeks of PTO.
