In Sweden, five weeks of paid vacation per year is the legal minimum, and you also have the right to take four weeks contiguous in the summer if you want. But you don't have the right to choose when exactly if you exercise that right. Different industries do it differently, some shut down and kick everyone out in July, others try to get their employees to spread their vacation over summer so that there's at least someone in the office.

The difference in mentality and expectations is absolutely crazy.

Wikipedia2Vec: Optimized Implementation for Learning Embeddings from Wikipedia
A good part of their customer base (i.e., the advertisers) are not okay with explicit content, for a variety of reasons. Fear of their brand being associated with sex, puritan principles (their own or those of their customers), or just plain convinced that advertisements don't have the same impact when the content it is served with is arousing.

That is to say, the corporations don't care, and will grant you a scant allowance of nipples only in imagery of breastfeeding and classical paintings if and when enough high-profile people complain about it vocally to warrant some leniency.
> His point is that Maybe a should be composed of all the values of a, plus one more value, nil

No, that's a simple union type. There are very good reasons for Maybe to be different than unions (Maybe can nest meaningfully, simple unions can't.)

Maybe Maybe a is valid, and often useful, type.

Of course, if you have a function of type a -> b and find out you need a more general Maybe a -> b, instead of a breaking change, you just write a wrapper function that produces the correct result for Nothing and delegates to the existing function for Some(a) and you're done without breaking existing clients.

(Now, I suppose, if you're u had something like Scala implicits available, having an implicit a -> Maybe a conversion might sometimes be useful, though it does make code less clear.)
All true, but it's progress compared to some current GMOs (I'm not anti-GMO). Quite literally developed by exposing fields of fruit to massive amounts of radiation until you ended up with a generation that was better than the last.

As an outsider I agree, and I think that would have headed off a lot of the complaints.

That said, I did ask the few people I know that have been using BAT. All three of them knew that there was a chance their tip wouldn't be received if it wasn't a verified user. So, from actual users, putting actual money into it, they understood how it worked.

Two of them specifically would only tip to verified accounts. The third said he saw it as an incentive to get the creators to join the platform, though he's also the most vocal and evangelistic about BAT.
This transfer happened because the territory depends on the "mainland" which happened to be Ukrainian Republic. Most of the transportation happened through Ukraine, which also supplied with electricity and water. Crimea has no reliable source of fresh water, pumping it out from the ground turns the land into desert.
They didn't believe it was possible that the soviet project would fail and the republics would turn hostile against each other.

> That literally is metaphysics.

The claim that toddlers figuring out what shapes fit in what wooden holes are doing metaphysics is seriously off-base. Metaphysics deals with first causes, ontology, modality, free will, and so on. Let's not mince words. Taxonomy is not metaphysics.

> No, they do.

I think the burden of proof is on you. You're making fantastical claims but I don't see any connection between a TensorFlow model and any metaphysical model whatsoever.

> This is why people get frustrated: you don't seem to understand the link, squawk about how it doesn't exist, and then insist philosophy must be useless because you never took the time to understand where you do it naturally.

I studied philosophy.
I think the problem arises due to a very small portion of society that take it too far. The association between nudity and savagery has been grandfathered in. Even if the nudity is pure, people are explicitly or unintentionally afraid, and for good reason: we have children and death in porn. No reasonable person wants that, so we restrict the lot. ML probably could solve this specific problem, but we are too afraid to loosen the borders.
The US also made a huge amount of hard currency from supplying the UK before Germany declared war on the US.

I spent a month in Germany in the mid-90's as a high school student. At the time, Bay Watch was big thing, and the (friendly, nice) people I met had a pretty tough time wrapping their heads around the idea that my experience, living in California, did not include warm beaches, that I didn't surf, etc.

It's really easy to pick up caricatures of life in foreign countries. I don't think anyone is immune to imaging that foreigners are more exotic and strange than they really are. I remember someone on an American forum confidently saying that in anime, a character's family owning a car was supposed to indicate great wealth because car ownership was super rare in Japan -- a vast exaggeration of a minor demographic difference.

>Why would any reasonable person want to invest in building housing when the city government gets to tell them how much they can charge for rent?

Why do landlords oppose rent control if it will raise prices? Why do tenants favor it?

Theories notwithstanding, it simply is untrue that rent control halts development. New York city has had rent control for generations and has had an abundance of development. At this moment more than 2 million units are under some form of rent control.[0]

>the most expensive Bay Area cities are the ones that have rent control

This is a myth. The 5 most expensive Bay Area rental areas are in
Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Cupertino, Foster City, Palo Alto. None of which have rent control. Of the top 20, only 4 are in SF and 1 in Berkeley.[1] And comparing medians, Berkeley is cheapest[2].

And while relaxing construction requirements will help, the over valuation of land guarantees the effect will be small. For example, this slum centered small triangular dirt lot is 1.6million [3]

In the Wake: On Blackness and Being
by Christina Sharpe

"In this original and trenchant work, Christina Sharpe interrogates literary, visual, cinematic, and quotidian representations of Black life that comprise what she calls the "orthography of the wake." Activating multiple registers of "wake"—the path behind a ship, keeping watch with the dead, coming to consciousness—Sharpe illustrates how Black lives are swept up and animated by the afterlives of slavery, and she delineates what survives despite such insistent violence and negation."

Title needs fix: Begun the GPS wars have.

But seriously, "war"? Positioning has turned out to be such a vital economic factor that having multiple suppliers seems such an obvious Good Thing™ that it shouldn't need explaining, and the article doesn't really offer any support for its "war" rhetoric apart from showing that there are multiple suppliers.

Despite the assurances that were made, even I as a citizen of an "ally" of the US am not comfortable with sole dependence on GPS and find Galileo a good project. And as we can see, it only takes one unhinged administration to make such assurances next to worthless. If you're higher up on the shitlist (unclear at this point how that's ordered), the need become greater.
> what shapes fit in what wooden holes

We must be talking past each other, or something.

For context, for other readers --

> Traditionally listed as the core of metaphysics, ontology often deals with questions concerning what entities exist or may be said to exist and how such entities may be grouped, related within a hierarchy, and subdivided according to similarities and differences.

I really enjoyed it too. My main takeaways:

1. Use systems, not goals. A system lets you feel good every time you follow it, whereas a goal only makes you feel good when you reach it

2. Combination of skills. If you can be good (say top 20%) in more than one domain, then that combination of skills can be enough to make you very sought after.

3. What all adults should know, like public speaking, psychology, business writing, accounting, design, and conversations.

4. Learning from failures. This is a theme throughout the book. Each failure can teach you something. If you attempt something and fail, you at least gained experience. This experience will be useful for your next project.
That effect is normal the first time(s) you smoke. It goes away eventually. The alcohol probably made it worse, or more uncomfortable. Either way, good on you for not starting. I succeeded with not starting various times, but did fail eventually. Growing up with a mother who smoked (did quit too though) who's also my main parent did not help.

Gee, I guess people just don't read books the same way. What might be annoying to you might be an enjoyable style of writing to others.

I respect your opinion, but your verdict is just not the single truth out there. Personally, I read such books very different from reading at a younger age or non-fiction books.

Encounter a paragraph which does not catch your interest or you don't like the writing style? Skim over it. Familiarize yourself with the rough contents of a chapter before you read it, as to understand the general topic - makes skipping single paragraphs much easier.

The goal is not school like reading, where you ought to know all the contents to fill out a standardized test, but reflect your own personal values and experiences against what you are reading. If there are passages which don't give you anything - people are very diverse - then, well, skip them. The author did not conspire to make the experience unpleasant for you.

Ultimately, this is a fascinating topic for many, whether you prefer the podcast or the book should be left for everyone personally to decide.

Anecdotally, they appear to be paying a ton of influencers on social media to advertise Juuls - friends notice it all the time, influencers that specifically almost all have children as their demographic.

Most turmeric research has been found fraudulent.

From Wikipedia:

> Bharat Aggarwal was a cancer researcher at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, who as of April 2018 had 19 papers retracted for research fraud.[18][19] Aggarwal's research had focused on potential anti-cancer properties of herbs and spices, particularly curcumin, and according to a March 2016 article in the Houston Chronicle, "attracted national media interest and laid the groundwork for ongoing clinical trials".
> The current system was born of that and nobody gives a hoot about the small/medium players who get screwed over by the insanity.

No surprise there. Encouraging small creators may have been necessary at some point, to increase user base, but at this point it's the creators that are compelled to be on YouTube, because that's where the audience is. Meanwhile, as long as the big labels upload their official music videos to YouTube, the userbase is pretty much guaranteed.

Fructose over-consumption -> insulin resistance -> diabetes. Heart disease follows.

Cholesterol is just the scapegoat for fructose over-consumption's horrifying effects. Cholesterol is used by the body to try and patch up all of the damage it causes. Cholesterol is used almost literally everywhere in the body, from hormones, to cell linings, etc.

With PWAs that are installed to a phone's home screen, and where Firefox is installed with privacy and blocking extensions, does it launch the website in a Firefox runtime with these extensions running?
