What would you expect instead? I think the US supports the Saudis because they are the primary competitor to Iran in the middle east. But no one (?) in the middle east has great support for women, gays, or infidels. I think you're righ

This is an assumption that since Amazon Sidewalk exists, smart TVs must have something similar. There's no proof, and I think if it were happening without being documented it would be a huge scandal.

Meaningful is subjective, but yes I do. It was very stable for many years, and I do believe the recent issues are mostly or all because they were caught flat-footed by the rapid AI-driven load increases. This has been a bad time, though. I&

This is what they've told us. It's represented as basically a separate deployment of the entire GHEC stack, so you're not exposed to the load/scaling issues they believe are the underlying cause of all the github.com out

We are in GHEC right now and GitHub Actions is not working. It's been down every time githubstatus.com says it's down.

They have that-ish as an option: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/admin/dat... I'm told that GitHub has asserted to us that moving to this model means we would not be exposed to github.

This is really, really recent though. The tip-everywhere phenomenon has been growing for a lot longer than the tax deduction.

To put it in perspective: an average eye blink is 100-150 ms. The worst outcome in this test was with XWayland adding 3ms of latency. Maybe this is truly important for some exceptional pro gamers but for the majority of the world it is as y

It doesn't cheapen the word. If discrimination is intentional and has the effect of minimizing and eventually eliminating the target ethnic group, then you have the same result as if you lined up everyone in that group and shot them. T

Was, yes. That policy ended in 2017 I think, which I don't know if I call that recent. Post-2017 some evidence pieced together by a journalist suggested that IUDs and forced sterilizations were higher in Xinjiang than the rest of the c

Well there are allegations of mass detentions, forced labor, destruction of religious sites, suppression of language, separation of children into Chinese-controlled boarding schools, coercive birth control, and sterilization. You agreed wit

It's never meant only that, but that's not the argument. We decided that a long time ago. Genocide refers to a People (race, kind, tribe, family, etc.), not individual people. The group is a concept, and 'killing' it doe

It's overblown _right now_ because this information is not broadly available. The fear is that pervasive access to this data would lead to e.g. you or your partner not getting insurance to pay for anything fertility-related, or you not

The default has the 'tang' slider at maximally tangy, which is where the yeast and wait come in. If you back off on that the recipe looks more like the standard quickbread I'm used to. The yeast and ferment is going to make i

You've covered dairy and acid ingredients, but I honestly have no idea what "Unrendered Berkshire pork fat" is or where I would get it. Is that bacon grease? Saltpork? Lard is common but rendered.

FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. FODMAPs generate gas as side effect of being fermented in the gut. Most people just pass this gas, but for some people, usually people with irritab

The point I'm trying to make is that I don't think we know, so we can't say either way. In your example, would the human have ever had contact with other humans, or would it be placed in the room as a baby with no further inp

Does it solve anything? I don't see this as a GitHub problem, it's a "we built a dependency management system with untrusted publishers" problem. GitLab's `include` feature has the same concern. They do offer an int

There's a completely reasonable comment by jamiemallers on this thread which is marked as 'dead' even after vouching. Not sure what's going on there.

This boils down to a security via obscurity argument. Is obscurity a useful tool? Often, yes. Should you depend on it? Definitely not. Is it annoying to lose? Yes.
