Take a vacation in one of the East Asian countries. Stay in a less touristy place. Rent a house instead of staying in a hotel / resort and cook yourself. The food, the weather and the need for longer walks to get things done will make you lose weight faster.


The subtitle (or summary) mentions it - "Director has criticised the practice of re-editing older films while expressing remorse over removing guns in a later edition of ET"


>> a misconfigured domain name system service at GoDaddy allowed hackers to hijack dozens of websites owned by Expedia, Yelp, Mozilla, and others..

Any idea what was the impact on Mozilla ? Did it impact the Firefox and plugin servers ?


I can't speak for Mozilla, but I wouldn't be surprised to see GoDaddy and others used for non-core stuff.

The registrar for mozilla.org is MarkMonitor. I'd guess that most (if not all) of their big name/public facing domains are done through MarkMonitor.

Domains used for testing or marketing purposes might be done through GoDaddy and others. This is a fairly common pattern.


>> SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this Act takes effect September 1, 2021.

I am not American - So strange that the act takes effect even if it does not receive the required votes, only a bit later. How does it work ?


It cites the source. Article 3, section 39:

Sec. 39. TIME OF TAKING EFFECT OF LAWS. No law passed by the Legislature, except the general appropriation act, shall take effect or go into force until ninety days after the adjournment of the session at which it was enacted, unless the Legislature shall, by a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each House, otherwise direct; said vote to be taken by yeas and nays, and entered upon the journals.

The goal here is for laws not to take people by surprise; when a law is passed, it's not active until ninety days has passed, so people have time to learn about the new law and adjust accordingly. If it is believed that an emergency needs the law to be enforced sooner, the Constitution provides a mechanism for that.

In short, it does need the required votes to become law, but that is in this process a simple majority; a larger majority is required to bypass the 90-day delay.


Thank God the Constitution provides a mechanism to get this emergency law take effect immediately to stop godless schools from throwing away framed posters!


Tiktok here does not force you to login for watching the videos (unless you want to like / comment / subscribe etc.. ). And also allows downloading the videos right from the app (if the creator has enabled download for the video), so I download the ones that are to be bookmarked.

This is in stark contrast to what the FB and Insta like companies do.

Since I don't login, I use multiple devices to access tiktok. And I noticed that the stream content is different on my phone (mostly used while traveling / outside home and contain news and semi serious random stuff), tab (mainly used in the bed and contain light funny contents) and computer (serious stuff - arts, tech etc..).

BTW - I am only a tiktok consumer and not creator.


Surely Tiktok will change to do exactly this in the future, that's what they all do.


I don't think they will. Tiktok is a creator platform. More audience is better.

Instagram has left a huge gap by forcing everyone to login.

IMO, Instagram and Twitter are using the wrong metrics which ignore non-login users. They focus on converting users to logged-in. They don't focus on delivering maximum value.

For downloading, I can see that go away though.


Twitter and reddit are doing this. I imagine youtube make it a pain to look at content as well if you’re not signed in


Reddit and YouTube don't require logging in.

When I say "not require logging in" means that there is a home feed with interesting content for non-logged in users


my smart, young hipster friends say tiktok does a phenomenal job of building tools that enhance creators and classify streaming content to consumers, neither of which fb does well. text is dead. spread the good news.

What about the other way - if the commit is "damaging" in nature specially on a competitors repo. For example the recent NPM commit that wiped user data. If its done on company time using company laptop, will the company be liable ?


the code is provided as is, without warranty.


Licenses do not supersede laws.

If you build a software and because of a bug it breaks something, that is fine. If you deliberately change a library to make any software running it crash and you know it is used among other things by software that control nuclear plants or elevators, my guess is it will probably considered a crime in most juridictions. This regardless of the fact said software makers should test their changes.


You're very likely right and I made a mistake. In strict legal terms anything you do can be sued if the law deems it damaging it some way or another, and the answer to this->parent's question is highly dependent on legal contexts.

I was taking a naive view from a theoretical point.


- The batteries discussed here are small and comparatively light weight (a person can remove). So consider it more as "Cells". If you want more range, replace more cells or have heavier pack. If you need the range of Tesla, then you need more battery packs in the vehicle (And increases the weight of the vehicle and its cost).

- Also the vehicles mentioned here (Auto rickshaw) generally carry max 3 customers for shorter distances. Majority of the travel will be in the range of less than 10 Kms.

So for less cost, she is able to serve the same customers, increasing her earning.


So in Indian context respect is shown to the elders by means of different suffix (brother, sister, uncle, grandpa).

It could be either brother (bhaiyya, anna, chettan ) or Sister (deedi, akka, chechi .. ) if the person is elder to you but not too older than you. So if you are in 20's , and shopkeeper (who is Raju) is in his 40s, you might call him Raju bhaiyya (or Raju anna in Tamil, Raju chettan in Malayalam).

If there is a visible One generation gap, then Uncle or Auntie is used.

And if there is a visible two generation gap, then grandpa and grandma is also suffixed to call them (but this is not very common.. and sometimes could be taken as insult)

And the elders might call you Son or Daughter (beta, beti ..) in a similar way.

And you could be complete strangers.
