> Even Steven Universe which has a very straightforward story with an end planned feels bloated with a bunch of filler episodes and lazy character development.

The filler episodes are some of my family's favorites, however. I think the comparison is a bit premature compared to something like the Simpsons where every episode pretty much can stand alone.
I'm seeing like a site to purchase things for people in need. Can someone link the game, I can't find it in the website's current design.
I'm somewhat (pleasantly) shocked that it is Motorola doing this. I've been a Motorola user for >15 years now, but my current phone (xt1650 moto z) had me recommending family members to go for a different brand. I've always liked the nearly stock android and build quality up until this one, which had me convinced Lenovo was destroying the brand. Of 2 identical phones bought at the same time, by 13 months I had
1) replaced 3 screens
2) replaced 2 batteries
3) replaced 1 rear camera
4) replaced 1 USB-c connector

As well, this phone is just as bad as an iPhone for repairability, at least IME.

Hopefully this is a trend for the brand going forward, parts availability was always one of the downsides of Android (after 1 or 2 years, even alibaba doesn't have any parts at any quality for many models).
Additionally, I hope this signals to designers that there is a market for phones that sacrifice thinness for repairability and durability. It just depends on how many people buy these parts. I know I would gladly pay a premium for an OEM battery, but a market of 1 isn't significant.
There's loopholes, but there's also boundaries. In Europe there is scope creep where the boundaries of what's legal versus illegal keep getting redefined. A good example is antitrust enforcement against Google. In the U.S., antitrust is pretty clear cut. In Europe, it's this amorphous thing, where regulators can fine you just because what you're doing rubs them the wrong way.
>Would the author ever write about a man like this?

Sure. Describing their subject's look and personal characteristics, narrative style, is one of the most common tropes in long form reporting.
And that's not what the OP said. Marx said there are stages to "society", which are (from the link):

- Primitive communism - tribes sharing everything
- slavery - e.g. ancient Egypt
- feudalism - kinds, fiefs, serfs
- capitalism - current state
- socialism - dictatorship of the proletariat
- communism - stateless, classless society

Marx combines the last two into one "communist" stage, but distinguishes them as phases.

Traditional Marxism uses words differently than we do today. Yes, it predicts a revolution, though we'd term that a "socialist" revolution, not a communist one, because even Marx believed there needed to be a phase to transition to a stateless, classless society because society is affected by the previous stage.

Now, I completely disagree with Marx's assessment of things, but that's irrelevant.

In the year 2018, Christian theology is almost infinitely diverse, but it wasn't always so. That diversity is very modern. For the vast majority of Christian history, the sacramental role of music in Christianity was essentially a universal given. It wasn't until the Protestant Reformation that anyone even considered divorcing music from sacramental theology and it wasn't until the mid-20th century that the idea of church music as a matter of preference even arose. To speak authoritatively of "Christian theology" in the context of music in any meaningful sense, a "vote" needs to be given to every generation of Christians, not just the current one. And in that sense, there really is a consensus.

While I have seen a slight increase in interest, have we really turned a corner in the last five years? Certainly the EU has started to change the rules on privacy, but I haven't seen a dramatic increase of giving a d*mn in the general populace.

It's worth mentioning here that SA-less Block IIF (and newer) satellites came after "codeless" and "semi-codeless" techniques were publicly-known. Those allow a receiver to use the encrypted P(Y) code to obtain a precise position fix without any knowledge of the encryption key.

There are probably other, newer ways to prevent an adversary to use the GPS signal, but there is little reason to doubt that SA is gone.

It's "cost" is in startup times (compiling your code with LLVM at runtime slows things down, no surprise there), and you still have to write somewhat type-stable code (outputs uniquely inferrable from inputs) if you want it to actually run full speed.
NSA disciplines employees who violate their rules on who gets to access data.
https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/09/nsa-spi...

And senior congressional officials, including people like Feinstein, Grassley, Burr, Schiff, and Warner, are effectively briefed on all intelligence matters. Not every member of congress is. America did a decent job after Watergate implementing supervision of intel.

NSA is probably not perfect, but it's better than the alternative. You know the old quote "Democracy isn't a great way to govern but it's better than the alternatives" -- probably fair to say "Western intelligence agencies aren't perfect but they are the best way we know to navigate today's surveillance economy and secure democracies."

>I mean, yes, I guess it is entirely possible for male journalists use a science article to describe anyone's hair, cheekbones and face in a way that wouldn't sound out of place in a holiday novel

It's not only "possible", it's very common. The snark is not warranted. Almost all e.g. Wired profile stories do the same thing, male or female -- they only fail to add something in those lines when the subject is already known (e.g. Musk or Torvalds, so nobody needs to know how they look).

E.g.:

JAMES ALLISON LOOKS like a cross between Jerry Garcia and Ben Franklin, and he’s a bit of both, an iconoclastic scientist and musician known for good times and great achievements. He also doesn’t always answer his phone, especially when the call arrives at 5 am, from an unfamiliar number.

Even many urban centers in the US are car-centric, especially some of the more affordable ones. Chicago is probably the only affordable place with decent enough transit to go car-free. NY, Boston, and Seattle have pretty good transit, but the total COL expenses in those places still makes them out of reach for poor people. Anywhere else, and not having car will severely impact your job opportunities and probably your cost of living too (good luck saving money by buying from bulk discount stores when you can't carry most of it back).

Is there even a way to (legally) stream all of the Simpsons? I have never been able to find a place that streams the older seasons. I'd even pay for something if it was a reasonable service. I remember being disappointed that Hulu had the Simpsons, but limited to only the newer ones we don't enjoy.
Timespan is not as important as the shared perspective that defines modern religious thought, but even if it were, 25% is still far from a majority and, at least for most of that timeframe, Protestants were a small minority of Christians in the world (and they still are a minority).
Birth control is expensive. Birth control often requires regular, routine access to the healthcare system. This is a problem when you're poor.

At the time of conception, nobody knows how things will turn out in their life a few years down the line. Will I still have that job that allows me to pay my bills? Will I have been bankrupted by an acute medical issue, because I lost my health insurance at a critical moment?

Having kids is a commitment. But you have to take a leap of faith. You can't just undo that commitment later, or walk away from it.

But shaming people for having kids? Have you no heart? How on earth is that going to help with anything? Is it going to make their lives better? Is it going to help the kids?

Depends on the scales used. With linear scales, they do addition. With logarithmic ones, multiplication.
Purely speculation on my part, but that makes a lot of sense. During the Ballmer era, he would have wanted to send a clear and unambiguous signal that he was no longer calling the shots, so he would have made a greater effort to step away. Also important was that, while Ballmer wasn’t technically a cofounder, he had been around since the early days. With Ballmer gone and Gates having demonstrated that his foundation is by far his #1 focus, there’s less reason for him to give Microsoft some distance and more reason for him to occasionally show up and, among other things, serve as a living connection to their early history.
FWIW, here on the East Coast of the U.S. we have the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. It’s 23 miles overall (17.6 miles shore to shore), two lanes each direction, and includes two tunnels of one mile each. The tunnels are part of the original construction and are only one lane each direction so traffic has to merge for the tunnels.

I cross the bridge twice a year. It’s a long way. The Zhuhai bridge at 11 miles longer and double the tunnel distance must be quite something. I think I might be a little nervous driving in a tunnel that length.

One thing I’ve noticed in the CBBT is that cars inevitably slow down on the upgrade out of the tunnel which is a hazard. I wonder if this will be a more significant hazard for the Zhuhai with the longer tunnel and more lanes.

I often use this simple algorithm to select an entry from a sorted list:

1: Select two random entries
2: Discard the one with the lower rank

This is useful in many situations where you want to give a higher chance to entries with a higher rank.

Looking around the web for the name of this, the closest I found is tournament selection which seems to be a superset that contains my approach.

Is there a name for my specific approach, where you select 2 entries at random and from those select the better one?

Maybe it is just me but in older episodes of Simpsons, there was a lot more music for different situations and at times, classic or what I would term 'wholesome' music was played to highlight cathartic situations or trials/tribulations of human lives.

These are things that to me play a major part as a viewer. To me, a TV serial is not about 30 min episode, it is a mini-play or chapter in a play.

Think back to days of Tom and Jerry (the ones before mid-1960s) as well as the older Mickey Mouse & Co (up till 1970s) and you will see the recurring pattern -- music was just great and played a huge part in involving the user.

That and also, there is something about the super-sharp, ultra modern type of animation modern day Simpsons have. I understand it is high-tech and latest stuff, but it does take away from the art and appreciation of what the viewer experiences. If you don't believe me, watch an episode of 1940s/1950s Mickey Mouse or Tom & Jerry and compare with their modern day renditions.

How the FISA Court Really Works (Lawfare)
https://www.lawfareblog.com/how-fisa-court-really-works

Stanford law review
https://www.stanfordlawreview.org/online/is-the-foreign-inte...

The win rate is misleading for a simple reason: The requests the FISC receives are not a random or representative sample of all cases in which the executive branch believes it would benefit from a warrant. The number and type of government requests are responsive to the level of oversight the court exercises—just as a plaintiff’s decision to litigate is responsive to changes in the law. Because it is costly to make an ex parte application (in time, resources, and reputation) and because the executive has long-running knowledge of how the FISC treats applications, there is little reason to expect agencies to submit losing requests. And while the rarity of ex parte proceedings might make this outcome seem unprecedented or extraordinary, other ex parte proceedings—like those for Title III wiretaps and delayed-notice warrants—display equally lopsided results: the government “wins” almost 100% of the time.
Like everything in social policy, this is more complicated than downvoters realize. Many people who look comfortable in their DINKy lifestyles would love to have kids if they could give them the best in life. I mean, we refuse to have a _dog_.

I live in NYC and the deeper you get into the boroughs, the more a car is necessary/helpful, especially with how unreliable the MTA is these days. Also most parts of NYC with good transit, shorter commutes are also probably more expensive rent-wise.

For me it's been less the battery and eventually the screen itself. As the phone gets older, getting replacement screens or glass ends up more and more difficult and expensive to the point where it can cost almost 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of a completely new phone to fix my old one. At that point it's a harder decision to make to fix the old one when a single drop after that could mean that I've now spent as much to get a new phone (2x replacements) to fix the old one.

I don’t think it was meant as advice, just an explanation.
The _Hidden Figures_ reminder there that women and people of color were job titled "computers" for a long time in the English language. The term for female/PoC programmers/mathematicians/engineers became the name of the machine built to replace them. It's a fact that feels increasingly strange with distance/hindsight, or at least it should to folks with a heart.

(Just finished Mary Robinette Kowal's excellent "Lady Astronaut" books, and they are a fascinating retro-history of a timeline that fought to get to Mars faster than ours, and an interesting part of that success was getting more Computers in space, but by that it was meant women and people of color that could use a slide rule and do important math quickly in a crisis.)

> Well the Rust community is super welcoming, and the meetups have been really positive.

For sure. The Rust community takes the cake when it comes to owning criticism, wanting to make things better (as opposed to excusing issues), and self-organizing to affect change (e.g., the working groups). I like Go and its community is well above average, but it stands to learn from Rust's community IMHO.

> the meetups have been really positive. They even have the #rust-beginners channel. :)

I know, but a slack/irc/email/etc channel is a really poor substitute for having humans in a room who already have context about the problem you're trying to solve.

> I find Rust to be fairly easy to reason about. The compiler has awesome messages, and even links you to your error type with more information. I also HIGHLY recommend reading the O'Reilly book AND the official Rust book (the free one) if you feel like you're "just not getting it".

Hard to make heads or tails of this without knowing what you're comparing it to. I do agree that Rust does a fantastic job (via its error messages, documentation, books, etc) at addressing the hard problem of dealing with a compiler that pedantically enforces not-very-intuitive invariants, and I respect Rust for believing that those invariants are worth the trouble. I think they _are_ for lots of applications, but I think Rust needs to do quite a lot on the learnability/intuitability front before the economics justify using Rust for general purpose application development. For the time being, for most applications, it's just so much _cheaper_ to use something like Go in the general case.
Why do you assume that?
