Commenters excoriate the methadology. First thing I checked was for comparisons with Aleksandr Suvarov, who "never lost a single battle he commanded."¹ Glaringly absent from the exposition.
The darkest Sesame Street skit I ever saw had a muppet jumping up and down on a manhole cover, gleefully repeating "99! 99! 99! ...". A second muppet shows up wondering what it's all about, and the first muppet concedes his spot. The second jumps up once, saying "Ninety---", the manhole cover slips out of place, and the muppet falls to its doom. The first resumes his jumping: "100! 100! 100!"
Right! Didn't think to look it up as a term of art.
That means the missing information is temporal: the subsitution in point III narrows indemnity to only those claims which satisfy finally settled at the moment the contract binds.
Does anyone know the meaning of "all finally settled claims" in point III?
> III. Blanket indemnities. I'm not wealthy, and my insurer won't cover claims that you settle without their consent. Asking me to indemnify you against "all claims" exposes me to the risk of bankruptcy – and still doesn't protect you. I change this to "all finally settled claims."
A claim not finally settled leaves nothing to indemnify against. I'm missing something here.
Edit: Maybe "I indemnify Publisher against all claims which at the time of contract signing are finally settled"?
> Denying people information ... on-brand for Dan Luu.
Just to be clear, he does not deny the information. Chronology matters a lot, danluu knows this, and he does make it available. He also made finding it a personal journey for any first-time visitor looking for a date, costing about 60s per user lifetime.
He's unduly sensitive to bad criticism by ignorant people and admits as much. Reducing his exposure to them helps get him through the day, and so all the power to him.
As for the arrogance, I love this site and would keep coming here even if danluu were Pol Pot himself. Users and moderation make the site.
You mount the remote file system as a volume and traverse it as part of the local file system. Super convenient for comparing contents of a local folder to a remote in the command line, using local tools on the remote FS, batch copying both ways, all that good stuff.
The hung file systems can be a buttpain, enough that I wrote a Bash script that calls `mount` to get the hung FS IDs and `umount` them with the results. After that easy peasy.
Holy crap I had no idea this was Galbraith's insight. I've heard William K. Black talk about Gresham's dynamics a few times, but always wondered why his use of the term didn't comport with Wikipedia's article on it. It's because he's using it in Galbraith's sense. I'll be checking out the book for sure. Thank you.
Seconded. I subscribed to Financial Times for a year, whose prose, editorial balance, and coverage insight are noticeably inferior to The Wall Street Journal's. I also subscribed to The Economist and feel it is also inferior, but it is a weekly, so that's kind of comparing kettles and fish.
I subscribe to Noam Chomsky's opinion that the best journalism is found in the financial press because businesses need a more accurate and timely view of what's going on.
And yes, the op-eds are a blemish on the paper's outstanding journalistic reputation. It got jammed full of cronies after News Corp purchased the paper. Its workaday editorial staff remain fiercely independent, however.
Knock-on effects can just as well be ascribed to alternative targets for those Apollo funds. Those don't take much imagination to come up with, e.g. reducing the student-teacher ratios in schools.
On the face of it, no politician wants to risk tanking an org that employs a significant part of their jurisdiction. Providing even minimum wage employment to thousands is an objective public good and hard to do, even for scoundrels. Big employers are not above the law, but they sure get more leeway.
It seems you missed the point of the OG article? It's not about MAiD or the ethicality of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms but about systemic, community-wide failures to help those in need across Canada. The MAiD anecdotes just show how bad it can get.
I agree, and I'll go further. Jan Tschischold didn't think we should use serifs unless text is justified. That convention was one of Wikipedia's main reasons for settling on sans-serif for body text.
The page's creator should be giving reasons why his "great" example defies a basic typographical convention. This webpage seems to be all headline.
The turning point for me was when they canned Victoria from r/ama. My experience with it got progressively worse thereafter. I might sign in to it once a year now (using old.reddit.com when I do). When I read posts there, I first convert the link to teddit.net.
