What does "stacked" mean in this context?

Can such policies be implemented individually by cities?

I'm thinking more of situation where definitions of mass-media are extended to cover individual bloggers.

Professional influencers with over 500,000 followers fall under the Dutch Media Act (Mediawet, 2008) and are supervised by the media authority CvDM, which applies rules similar to those for on-demand audiovisual media services, including requirements on recognizable advertising and protection of minors.

Current Rule: Now, influencers with 100,000+ followers (across YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok) who post at least 24 videos a year and earn money must register with the CvdM and pay annual supervision fees. The Burden: You are expected to know your reach. If you cross the 100,000 mark and fail to register, you are technically in violation.

My concern is that when we succeed making "our own web" popular, the Big Cos will lobby for legislation that would put burden on all operators, such that it would be unreasonably costly for small operators but easy for themselves to meet. Probably under disguise of "think of the children". Besides technology we'd need a strong organization advocating for "our own web".

At the time, they were right; it was as good as society had ever been.

Debatable. Proponents of "original affluent society" argue that agricultural civilization was a major step back in terms of quality of life.

I have a silly take on this: to avoid rocking the floating city you throw the rocket overboard, let it re-orient itself upright, then use the main thruster to slow down the fall and then move up.

My workaround for this is to always log in from porn/incognito mode where it doesn't remember cookies. Each time I have to type password and go through 2FA.

I'm somewhat disappointed that the article did not describe how you must be crazy to enjoy programming.

That makes sense. Either knock down the walls all the way and empower developers to make decisions, or keep the walls and let all requests go through the pipeline.

Resist the urge to build walls between people/teams/departments

Do you often have to deal with support staff reaching out directly to developers on Slack to investigate some problem – without going through "normal" process of creating a ticket that gets assigned? Or even asking for features.

Developers generally want to be helpful, but also small requests often turn out to be rabbit holes. And even in best case it distracts from work that was explicitly assigned and scheduled.

I noticed I experience a bit of anxiety every time I'm doing some work that came through backchannels. The way I try to alleviate is create the ticket myself, mention its source and assign it to myself. This way switching context is visible and I can tell myself that "if manager doesn't want me to spend time debugging this now, they can react".

They'll figure something out, some ideas:

1. The cash doesn't have to be withdrawn all at once, it can happen over the course of months 2. The cash can come from earlier cash transactions, not withdrawal 3. Payment can be indirect: CEO donates to a non-profit that hires sheriffs family 4. Instead of kickback the CEO can repay the sheriff with another favor at future time

I hope we're not planning to outlaw cash and implement total invigilation of every transaction just to make corruption slightly more inconvenient.

unless the kickback takes form of cash or favors

My stint as a EU McD worker did give me a feel of how well scripted low skill labour can feel like pleasant work.

Would you care to write some more about this?

I was under impression that scripted work is generally considered bad and makes people feel like cogs in a machine.

A "verified app" is an app that has been verified not to compete with platform owner's products, doesn't bypass their subscription processing and doesn't in any other way cut into their revenue streams. /s

I meant that if you have two separate substances, we can reasonably assume they will also be used individually, giving bacteria chance to develop resistance. Then strains with different resistances meet in one organism and swap genes.

Although that's extremely simplified. I recall reading that the usual mechanism is somewhat different. When you take one antibiotic to fight one pathogen, also attacks other bacteria in your gut microbiome (also those benign and even useful). Those bacterial also develop resistance. Unfortunately they can later share their resistance genes with harmful bacteria.

Bacteria can develop resistance to individual antibiotic mechanism. Then two strains can swap resistance genes to produce a super-bug: https://asm.org/articles/2023/january/plasmids-and-the-sprea...

My understanding is that in this case bacteria would have to develop resistance to two mechanisms at the same time, which is much more difficult.

Would those companies be able to compete in a global market?

One challenge is that people who must work full-time (or more) can't participate and benefit from free education. At the same time they are forced to fund this free education through taxes.

I imagine restaurant chains could make this their competitive advantage:

"No hidden costs. Service included. No tips expected. What you seen on the menu is the real price"

I'd be inclined to choose such a place as a tourist from Europe, who's accustomed to tipping being optional.

What will end up happening is they will make a wealth tax, companies will stay private and hide behind accounting for their income

That makes sense

and it will shut off wealth building for many.

Can you elaborate on how would wealth building be shut off?

It's interesting that the label was introduced in Britain to discourage consumers from buying products imported from Germany. Only then Germany managed to turn it into a brand associated with high quality.

But small amounts of insulin are also released before any sugar enters the bloodstream. This response is known as cephalic phase insulin release. It is triggered by the sight, smell, and taste of food, as well as chewing and swallowing (5Trusted Source).

BOTTOM LINE: Eating carbohydrates causes a rise in blood sugar levels. Insulin is released to bring blood sugar levels back to normal. Some claim that artificial sweeteners may interfere with this process.

Then we adapt.

Alcohol truly is one of the worst drug we use

I also highly recommend episode about alcohol from Huberman Lab: https://hubermanlab.com/what-alcohol-does-to-your-body-brain...

They eye opener for me was how "moderate" alcohol use (like 6 beers over the weekend or 1 beer every day) causes lasting effects. One of them is increasing cortisol levels throughout the week.
