I see many quotes that the video was only viewed 4000 times, and that Facebook blocked it "within minutes".

That's deceptive because it only covers the original video and not the copies which is really irrelevant.

And it's deceptive because it starts the clock when NZ police alerted Facebook, even though it's Facebook's responsibility to manage their platform, not the police's responsibility.

If the video was re-uploaded and not blocked 300,000 times, then total views is most likely in the millions.

And Facebook continued to disseminate this material for thousands of minutes.

I can only conclude these more important numbers are intentionally excluded from Facebook's report because Facebook wants people to focus on the other, meaningless numbers instead.

That's deceptive.
I'm not a fan of cars, because they don't perform well in lakes. I'm hoping we're moving toward a world where we use different tools for different tasks. Something engineered to float would be much better, in my opinion.

So the city has a layout, independent of me, and that layout is, as you say, a fact.

In order to recognize a particular patch of ground as a street, and not--say--an oddly shaped rock, I must recognize that it goes somewhere, so even though the facts are authoritative, I can only view them through their correspondence with a model (which is in this case, a map--either on paper or in my mind). Building that correspondence constitutes a successful test of the model.

So my belief about the best route to take to work is determined by my model which is more or less correct based on its correspondence with these facts.

Am I using the words your way now?

And if so, would you agree that "points A and B are 1 mile apart" is an example of a fact--or at least is a model that seems likely to be confirmed by contact with a fact?
France and Germany have the most members, but not nearly enough to take decision by themselves or have control of the agenda.

Besides, the point is moot, because parliament members tend to group themselves based on shared political views, rather than by country.

That countries with more population should have more representation and more weight in the decisions, to me makes sense.

> How would you qualify US style vs non-US style unions? The prevalence of business unionism here?

The big difference, which nobody seems to have mentioned here, is that unions in the US are guaranteed exclusivity by law over representing people within a bargaining unit, as well as unilateral and retroactive control over defining the bargaining unit. In practice, this means that all employees at a given company are required to be represented by the same union; they have no choice in the matter. Once the union is established, it is almost impossible to decertify it, so the union corporate structure will never feel any real pressure from the employees.

In almost every other country, employees can choose alternative representation, which means the unions are forced to compete with each other for membership, and they are not guaranteed to represent employees at that company in perpetuity. This creates a healthier and less exploitative dynamic.
Thankfully Apple don't have a monopoly on wireless earphones. So for people like me who their earphones wouldn't fit, I can have wireless earphones on my iPhone and still have them fit securely for when I'm out running. Win win.

It's also worth noting that different earphones have different frequency curves. Whilst Apple do make some nice sounding earphones, I wanted something with a different colourisation.

New platform? Why is this the case compared to other wireless headphones, let alone headphones, generally speaking?
Using the same density as they achieved in an open field where land is cheap, they could cover 2% of their cost.

Using the latest solar tech in a space-conscious deployment I would assume you could probably 2x that at least. So we’re in the realm of 5% of energy cost.

Give the technology another 10 years and where would we be? Unfortunately panels are already astoundingly efficient going from about 15% in the 60s to 20-25% today. In the lab we can approach 50% so there’s probably one more doubling.

To cover 10% of the energy cost of moving that much cargo just from the sun is mind boggling to me.

It makes me wonder if a different ship design which would scale down to have more surface area per volume, driving the solar power factor up, could actually work economically.

Since the trend has just been bigger and bigger super-freighters this would be an interesting shift.

Is a Tesla cargo ship in our future?

Saying "you should google ..." is not a source. If you want to provide a source for your claim about some group, back it up. You're not making meaningful contribution to the discussion.

Yes, the very wealthy have a variety of sources of income (e.g. stocks) and those dropped greatly in value. Unemployment peaked at maybe 10% during the crisis. So some percentage of people lost jobs while the wealthiest who have most their wealth in capital that dropped 30%.

Ironically, having tax exempt investments hurts when your portfolio drops in value as you won't be able to write those off.

They're working on that, give it some time. The complaint from Spotify gets the ball rolling. The EU will do the rest. Two or three years from now they'll have a $4 billion fine for Apple.

Yes but paranoid doesnt mean psychosis. Inexperienced users will tend to get paranoid more so.

I believe people with psychosis are drawn to weed as they are to other substances.

This study adds nothing new. It just demonstrates that people predisposed to psychosis are more likely to smoke weed. Anyone here could've told you that without a study being done. There is no cause and effect demonstrated in the paper.

Notice they did not say smoking weed causes the psychosis even though they found a 'strong' link.
An ethnically homogenous area doesn't always imply it's a ghetto though?
There's a case to be made for their shortcomings, but this is more of a "No wireless, less space than a Nomad. Lame" style critique, not seeing anything about their unique proposition, and criticizing them for what they are not even supposed to be (e.g. high-end or noise cancelling). Some of those things are not faults with the Airpods, but personal taste which can be satisfied with another headphone/brand.

>These are not good headphones.

Yes, they're not good. Just the best in their category.

>The battery life is kind of bad

For two tiny isolated, on-each-ear earbud style headphones? Compared to what, your "over-ear" set?

>the charging system is finicky

Put them in the case, they're charging. The case stays charged for days of casual use. What exactly is "finicky"?

>the sound is poor

Good enough for music, movies, and calls. I also have (from past purchases) the Parrot Zik 2, the ATH-50x (for simple DAW monitoring), and Sony WH1000XM3, and I could not care less for the differences in sound compared to the convenience of the Airpods.

>and there's not even passive noise isolation.

A fact which probably saves lives of people crossing the street constantly.
Although the article keeps everything in the abstract, I think an example should compare the interest rates different businesses can get. Say, when rates are low, an established business can get credit at 3%, and a startup at 6%. When rates are high, an established business can get rates at 6% and a startup at 9%.

In this low-rate environment, the established business can take on 2x the leverage of the startup while paying the same interest, but in the high-rate environment only 1.5x.

Low rates encourage all firms to use credit, but the countervailing competitiveness of large/stable firms diminishes the ability of startups to take advantage of it. This is all speculative on my part.
I'm hoping this is an indication that they will be releasing their first part charging mat (AirPower) on or before the 25th.

A few years ago I read an article on Hacker news about the drought. It discussed the experts looking at satellite photos and then climbing to mountain tops to perform more detailed measurements.

Don't forget that modern satellites are topographical with a high degree of accuracy. We can use satellites to learn snowpack depth.

This is how we know that the aquifers are depleted because the satellites measure elevation above the aquifer.
Looks like the issue is the feed stock, non-uniform particle size distribution and significant differences in aspect ratio. All the different pieces are clumping up because of the particle interlocking. Maybe consider a grill sorter on the outlet of your size reduction system, allow <1cm particles through and rehandle larger particles back into whatever is chopping, or add secondary size reduction.

> Wouldn't you expect a carbon tax to be similar in price to the cost to get the carbon back out of the air?

If the goal of the tax is to fund carbon removal and if that removal can be done immediately after emission without any damage being done to the environment, then yes. Otherwise you'd want to factor in the damage done.

If someone injected you with snake venom and argued that they should only be fined the amount it costs you for antivenom without consideration of the damage to your body, you would not accept that.

I think the alternative reality we're entering is one where we cannot communicate without record. We coped in the past, where putting something in writing was the exception, not the default. As direct vocal communication becomes less common, it highlights the importance of being able to speak off-the-record.

That said, these measures provide little guarantee of that.

San Francisco uses trolley buses for similar hill routes as well, as does almost every city with hills outside of the USA.

Really I would prefer the payment system was robust enough that it would do no more harm than publishing your past shopping lists but that is a separate topic.

ClojureScript is interpreter, unless you run Closure compiler in compilation phase. Interpretation is done by default in repl. There is also Joker [0].

Not true. Linked lists are base data structure on the same level as vectors and hash maps. Unlike Scheme where hash maps are sometimes implemented as assoc-ed lists.

By this requirement, 90% Lisps out there would not be Lisp ;) Even some Common Lisp implementations (ABCL) doesn't have it. Or if you want another extreme, V8/nodejs can generate image/snapshot or you can dump JVM image via Criu [3].

The screen thing is likely still an issue for mainstream but for me I mostly listen to my content. Screentime only happens at lunch or at home.

Maybe some people can't live without a big screen their commute, but some of us can.

Also, I think given the option I would prefer to carry a tablet in my bag for the situations I want and have time for a screen, and make do with the watch+pods for the majority of scenarios.

In other words, give up a cellphone altogether and replace it with a watch/pod pair and an optional tablet.

What unionless countries achieved these things? It seems to me that workers in countries with unions tend to have far better working conditions than those in countries without unions.

You’re partially correct. Large firms are less risky so they have easier access to credit. Smaller firms have a higher percentage of their value tied up in the future, so they get a bigger future value than the startup. (Safeway’s profits today will be within a few X of their profits in 2029. Slack’s could be 50X.)
It’s also one more possible point of failure. My adapter causes intermittent skipping and cracklings noises, probably because the contact points aren’t secure. So I’ve basically stopped listening to music and podcasts on my iPhone 8 Plus because of it.
