Tractor Mount Large Capacity Peanut Harvester Peanut Picker 8000/6000?
There are many kinds of accessories for harvesting machines in China. If you want to make the best use of them, you must pay attention to the maintenance of harvester accessories in the usual time, so that the life of the harvester can be maximized, thus improving production efficiency. When harvesting the harvester, first make sure that the peanuts are clean, free of any dirt and then safely handled. Let's let Aike's technicians help us to explain how to maintain the Tractor Mounted Large Capacity Peanut Harvester Peanut Picker 8000/6000
Before the tractor installs the Tractor Mounted Large Capacity Peanut Harvester Peanut Picker 8000/6000, the harvester accessories should be cleaned and dusted. If it has not been cleaned after the last use, it should be cleaned up in time to avoid problems or affect the work process during use; Check for damage and wear. If the wear is too large, it should be replaced in time to avoid affecting the working efficiency. The harvester accessories should be cleaned up in time after use. If the loss is too large, repair or replacement parts should be repaired to avoid the next use. Impact; Harvester accessories should be stored in a dry and ventilated warehouse or shed. If you want to store in the open air, cover them to prevent the weather from affecting the performance of the harvester accessories. In fact, the maintenance of the harvester accessories is relatively simple, as long as you pay attention to avoid problems when the harvester is in use.

>There's an RFC for csv data (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180), there's no way to tell Excel to honour it.

That RFC is from 2005. Excel appeared in 1987.

Excel outputs CSVs in Excel dialect rather than RFC 4180. Unfortunate as it is, it's probably only sane to do that. A lot of stuff has probably relied on it for decades. Python 3, for example, defaults to excel dialect in it's CSV library. Apache Commons CSV supports Excel dialect. I imagine there's all kinds of crap relying on this by now.

The fact that it doesn't have an option to output in RFC 4180 is unideal, but I can certainly see why. For almost their entire userbase, it would be the wrong option. I don't think they really want more code paths to maintain either. Seems logical enough.

Of course it's relatively easy to support XLS/XLSX and it should be relatively easy to automatically detect what dialect of CSV you're taking in. So if your goal is happier customers, then you have options. It is what it is.

I don't think this is a JScript type situation here. The world mostly standardized on Excel style CSV and a different standard was blessed by IETF. But much like HTML5 vs XHTML, sometimes standards should be descriptive rather than prescriptive. RFC 4180 would've been more useful had it followed Excel dialect. Instead I think it leaves Microsoft in a tough place and their decision has been to not change it in line with how they normally treat backwards compatibility.

Far from a staunch fan of Microsoft myself, but I do think it's important to stay rational and have some reasonable skepticism.
It's after tax. I earn 2.5k after tax.
It's attitude and sheer luck. People in the US seem to take more risk, this leads to huge rewards (start-ups) but also leads to an insane amount of inequality in wealth. I have never seen more in-your-face wealth inequality than in America (and yes, I've been to China and Asia in general quite often). Then a second component is the sheer amount of people trying their luck. Imagine that winning in a startup is like tossing a coin with a p=1e-7 probability of landing on "win". The Netherlands has 2.000.000 people aged 20-30 and the US has 40.000.000 people aged 20-30. Imagine that all these people start a startup we have a probability of P(X>0) with n=2.000.000, p=1e-7 is given by 0.18 and the probability for P(X>0) with n=40.000.000, p=1e-7 is 0.98. The point I'm trying to make is that a lot or more people in the US try to start something, this leads to many more failures, but also to some singular huge successes.
> A company is a productive enterprise, that produces value for you

Hmm, does this mean Boeing, Saab Aerospace, the ammo factory is also a productive enterprise, which produces value for me? The bombs dropped on people in sandals in Yemen, how is that producing value for anyone owning the stock of war companies? Also owning said stock indirectly through pension funds.

How many companies are not in any definition "productive" and end up bankrupt, restructured or just bailed-out?
They have an incentive to get discounts, which is not the same as limiting prices.

Attention is the matter of calibration and direction of the sensors which register this "its own light".

> I poked through some of the listed extensions and most are basically bots that you can turn on that will crawl through LinkedIn pages very quickly and either collect info (like email addresses) or send out messages to other LinkedIn users.

Try it. Stare at some spot on the wall. If you do it for few minutes you'll notice that the rest of your field of vision goes to black. Not to total black but you'll see worse and worse.
So, I just ran through the same thought process and the problem is this:

How does a new entrant to the network know which is the valid chain?

They didn't see the previous 20 confirmations, so the only rule they can use is picking the longest chain.

Another way to do it is to have a separate voting system to attest to the "valid" chain, but then you could use an ordinary botnet to outvote the real chain.

In short, confirmations are there for vendors to be sure a few blocks weren't mined at the same time, but they do nothing against a 51% attack.
Yes, and if smoking cured cancer then smoking would be an effective way of curing cancer.

Problem is, you need to demonstrate that your claim is true, otherwise you're begging the question.

I agree that 1) if you widen the topic beyond the original claim, which was specifically about tobacco smoking, and 2) if you assume the correlation implies causation, then sure, you're right.

Except as I've now pointed out several times:

1) the comment you replied to was specifically about tobacco smoking, and trivially disproved if you (mistakenly) expand it to all types of smoking; and

2) neither the lead scientist quoted in the NPR piece nor the actual paper make the claim that smoking marijuana lowers parasite load, only that there is a correlation. Again, quoting the NPR piece, the lead scientist "doesn't know if the THC in the men's system is actually keeping the parasitic worms at bay".

Therefore, how do you know that smoking marijuana lowers parasite load? Please quote the relevant study.

I guess this comes down to extensions that inject code / modify the page.

Extensions can choose if their assets are public or private, and if they reference the asset from injected code - it needs to be public.

It sounds like a better solution might be to track the injected / modified code, and only allow it to read the assets. But I'll bet there is some tradeoff i've no clue about preventing that from happening.

> The reason that fails is that in practice the labourers generally decide to spend the money now, rather than invest it in growth, so businesses run that way tend to fail.

AFAIK, there is no evidence that labor coops fail at a greater rate than conventionally structured businesses. If you have such evidence, I’d love to see it.
I'm failing to see how these extensions "circumvent the privacy of our members", but normal use of the website doesn't. Either you're safeguarding the information properly, or you aren't.

I am fine with huge GDPR fines to teach companies that data is a liability as well as an asset, and needs to be protected appropriately (which this measure doesn't seem to do, since it is trivial to bypass).

I'm not so sure I'm OK with you probing my browser to detect ToS violations/scraping, but not transparently mentioning it makes it worse.

> China, like the USA, has a wide range of companies that span the spectrum of efficiency. Try to get some customer service at China Telecom and you'll see the bottom-tier of efficiency that resembles, or is even worse, than trying to get your cable fixed with Comcast.

True. There are horrifically bureaucratised private companies with SOE roots, or ones ran by the "old boss" class. But in China, nobody will place them as an example to emulate, but in America, the amount of people hellbent on "running the company like a F500 multinational" is just scary, and these people _don't even realise_ that they are doing, and wanting something that is wrong.
Well yeah, it is of course much better today I believe. But I wouldn't be surprised if you still have to spend hours in trying to configure stuff if you have the wrong hardware.

Misunderstand me right, it's still mostly on laptops I have experienced issues. On a stationary computer you just get a performance drop, at least for most graphics cards.

I think it's great that it has improved so much and I hope it will continue to improve so that sometime in the future I can return to the promised land.
One example is a recent study of the Yugoslav economy and what happened after control of production was shifted to worker councils. Employment and growth plummeted.

"Amongst other things, these work councils were now free to decide on the distribution of income between wages and investment. In one sense, this policy change was a success: income per worker increased and wages became a bigger share of the economic pie. However, labour-managed firms seem to have reaped such rewards by hurting other members of the labour force, restricting the employment of new workers so as to limit the worker-based labour market competition that could scupper the wage demands of the 'insiders'."

I wouldn't call google's products vaporware. There are definitely five that I have used. Search, Gmail, Maps, Youtube, and Android. I barely use google search anymore (DDG is my major driver) - I'm not too content with Gmail anymore, and my youtube use has gone down since their ad strategy has changed.

Probably Maps and Android are the two products they do that I would consider 'quality'.

I'm not happy with Tensorflow, Golang, or Kubernetes.
EU capital markets are underdeveloped compared to those in the US. European banks are too small, and mostly national. More importantly, the marketplaces are too small and too national. European stock exchanges are a joke compared to NASDAQ and NYSE.

There's also the small detail of pension funds generally being forbidden from investing in stocks. That's the money that's fuelling SV, if my impression is correct. This policy comes from a general risk-aversion that's also evident in all other areas.

Firstly, I should have been clearer that I specifically meant cat6a, rather than cat6.

I haven't actually bought an ethernet cable for several years now, but cat6a always used to be quite a bit more expensive than cat5e. I just had a quick look, and here in the UK it seems it still is, at least for shielded cables:

- 30m UTP cat5e cable is £12
- 30m STP cat5e cable is £47
- 30m UTP cat6 cable is £14
- 30m STP cat6a cable is £100
C&D letters are written by lawyers. They don't appeal to your empathy over the PII of other users, they state facts and appeal to the legal standing LinkedIn (or $company...) has over the data being used.

That said, I have no idea of the reasons LinkedIn sent you a C&D. It could well be any of the proposed options, or something else entirely. I'm just highlighting that the language in a C&D will rarely give any indication of intent, at least not "well written" ones anyway.
Anyone knows why a `microsecond since epoch` is named "realtime"? What is so "guaranteed" about it?

Indeed, we don't get basic things like GPS signal 100% right 86400 seconds per day. Relying on some remote DB which can crash, be hacked, cut off from internet, down for maintenance etc will be a problem. Or car just losing data connection (like it happens with phones).

Its nice to dream about ideal future, but if lives rely on reliability, it either works 100%, or shouldn't.
I suppose a look east policy will make sense here atleast for the VC funding. Language barrier problem is honestly an opportunith but also a stupid problem to have. I dont understand why atleast language of business is not English throughout the EU (for sectors besides IT). For example, quite a lot of businesses in China use English. Same is the case for most of south east Asia and also India.
I think blade runner style emanators or Iron Man Jarvis is what you are looking at. Sure they won't help you do work, but they will do other things for you. You can call people, order things, watch movies, do other myriad other social networking stuff(Watch videos, see pictures).

For programmers of course its hard to work with those interfaces. But imagine a carpenter being able to order coffee, without having to deal with a screen.

That's the kind of utility we are talking about.

Wonder about this:

I know very few people who regret having kids, unless they're single parents. Most of my friends in fact say it's the best thing in their life ... on the contrary 100% of people who don't have kids and are over their prime to have any they regret it or give you an unconvincing, hesitant answer along the lines of "maybe it's better" ... Now having children too early that's a different story.

This point of you'll regret it anyway is wrong in my opinion. I believe you are way more likely to regret things you've never done than thing you have done.

And that's why it's wrong, you can make relatively sound decisions using degree of regret as a measure as opposed to assuming you will regret it equally ... when you look at your life and project yourself to your deathbed imagine how you'd feel.
As an alternative you can also use https://www.justwatch.com/us/movies?monetization_types=free,... and find a lot of free and legal content in a nice to browse interface.

I think it's something in the American mindset. It's been said before, but Americans think of themselves as "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" when voting (hence why they consistently vote in the interests of the rich - everyone thinks they'll benefit from those tax cuts when they win the lottery/sell their startup/etc).

Same situation here; "health care costs are for those sick losers. I'm not going to get sick, so it doesn't matter to me how much it costs, and I don't want to pay more tax to reduce healthcare costs for those losers".

I exaggerate, but it does seem like there's something like this going on...
I think that ship has sailed, Europeans see what SV has become and are thankful that they failed in replicating the model.
oh chrome is pretty popular it seems (I use firefox)
China is definitely quite a competitive economy in the technology space. I wouldnt say its the next SV. Rather would group it as its own class. Most of the businesses grew out of protectionism offered by thr Chinese govt but noe they seem to have made it.

Android vs. iOS User Behavior: How Does It Impact Mobile App Development?
It doesn't, it queries the local assets of installed extensions. Chrome (and I guess other browsers?) provide a way to do this, so the HTML etc injected by an extension can reference assets shipped with the extension.
I think it's absolutely fantastic that you can get stuff like that from a city's homepage.
For the arrays, I agree "[10] int" is better.

For functions, I think the -> syntax is the only thing that makes sense. It's just natural, first you need the arguments then you get the return value.

> That would mean you have 2 styles of pointers, one as a prefix and one as a suffix to the declarator identifier. So you now have to read both right-to-left and left-to-right, which seems to cancel out the benefits of only reading declarations in left-to-right order!

I'm not following. There are not two styles of pointers, a pointer is declared like "&type". Functions are declared like "(args) -> ret" which is read left-to-right (function taking such arguments and returning such value). A function pointer is simply a pointer to a function like "&(args) -> ret".

> Q: How do these proposed changes affect the parsing of the new C syntax?

I guess I should have added </sarcasm>? C would never adopt such a radical change. In any case, I don't see how it would be fundamentally more difficult to parse than the current declaration syntax. There would be problems disambiguating the two (what is "foo bar;" if foo and bar are both typedefs?). Maybe changing to require a colon after the name would make that simpler "fun: (arg: int) -> int".
