The Earth itself is a climate controlled geoid, although the climate control systems may not remain operational for long.
I'm not sure what the connection here is to the Israeli situation, an entirely different and also complex situation.

Here the UK government acted unethically and (according to the UN) illegally in displacing people who had been resident on these islands for a long time.

That pressure is being brought to bear on them for this, seems like a good thing.
BLS considers 6 levels of unemployment, U1-U6, which covers all of this. We commonly report U3 to match historical definitions and how other countries report their numbers.

And nothing in the way it's measured has changed.

Also U1-U6 move pretty much in lockstep, so there is no real need to report the various flavors except for academic checking.

> Many unemployed give up after a while.

The labor force participation rate has been ticking up, so those who once left are now returning.

And unemployment is decreasing.

And median wages are increasing.

You don't have to be a mailman to transform your neighborhood closer to something as heartwarming as this.

A good friend of mine worked as a programmer, then CEO, now Consultant... but in his spare time he'd spend all his energy on community projects, organizing everything, from Kids Halloween Tours in a small german city when that was very uncommon, to Developer Usergroups, to Startup Events to Barcamps, to TEDxs and so much more small and large.

Without him my area simply wouldn't be the same and many people know.

All it takes is just someone willing things like this into existence, over and over again.
The antenna has to constantly realign anyway due to how fast the satellites in low earth orbit move. Given that they're using phased array antennas, which can be steered electronically nearly instantaneously, there should be no issue tracking a satellite from a moving vehicle.
>Don't you find any moral issue in the state using its power to modify behavior?

As long as they don't prevent that behavior: No. In this particular case, they're not even adding a tax.

There's a long history of the state doing it in more draconian ways (fines for seatbelts, non-functioning lights etc). Fines in some cities for not maintaining the lawn.

Most people are in favor of some of these, and not for others.
Screw the scientists. They're smart enough to do the unit conversions.

Values for the general public should be in the units the general public uses for those things.

I couldn't imagine replacing TV with streaming HD video or downloading free multi-gigabyte sample packs just to see what's in them before before multi-megabyte connections and affordable half terabyte hard drives. Most new or improved technology is speculative. No one knows what people will use it for 10 years later. Guesses rarely pan out.
The Air Force already does the job that the Space Force is supposed to do. Creating another military branch would duplicate a lot of administrative functions and not be very cost effective, IMHO.
I imagine "it ain't cheap" does not score well by the g protein/$ metric.
I was asking in response to:

> Most nutritionists agree you shouldn't have more than 5g of sugar outside of fruit sources-

So nutritionists do or don’t agree that it should also include vegetable sources?

Related: I’m T1 diabetic and my partner had to call 911 last week because of hypoglycemia. If I hadn’t consumed 25g of sugar quickly the result would’ve been quite unhealthy.
Oysters and clams are cheap????
same as milk. milk (even the "fatfree" one) has a ton of sugar. should we also place a warning on milk?

we should also start labeling fruits. because sugar.

if you ask me this is a bit ridiculous. If you don't get that soda/soft-drinks aren't exactly good for you a warning is not going to help you.
Users of GPL licensed software such as the Linux kernel, are bound by the terms of that license to release modifications under the same license. Android and AOSP incorporates and uses the Linux kernel; this is the entire reason AOSP exists. You cannot pick and choose which users you distribute sources to under the GPL.
Is there any reason why you couldn't mirror your repo on github for the donations platform?
The loaded question into the ad hominem, classy. But if you think you need a doctorate in CS to not install shady apps from unknown sources its your prerogative.
I laughed, good point.
It's also said, about Moltke the Elder, that he only ever laughed twice in his life. The first time was when his mother-in-law passed away, the other time, when he saw Sweden's Vaxholm fortress.

To be successful in capitalism, you don’t need to be awesome - it’s sufficient to be no worse than competition. And the competition is the same huge, kafkesque mess - primary because no one yet figured out how to organize thousands of people without creating inert beaurocracy in the process.
The good thing about standards is everyone can have their own.
I don't see a comparison of that to full sugar drinkers.

How times a' changing.

Just few years ago this would've shipped as a standalone desktop software that would've cost a one-time fee in low hundreds at most, but more likely under a $100. This is after all a vector editor with specialized clip art library.

This BioRender thing apparently costs over 400 per year at its cheapest. I realize that this obviously means that there's a demand even at these terms, but that's just... disconcerting to see for some reason. It's one of the cases when conversion from an installable product to an online service is done merely to justify recurrent monthly charges rather than for any actual user benefits.
Facial recognition is coming no matter what. There is no way people will sacrifice the conveniences that come along with it. Sure people will be against it when their only concept of its applications is to "catch bad guys", but when it begins to cut time out of their day they will have a change of heart.
I just got done with this morning's stream [1]. I've been streaming my open source work for a few months now and it's been fantastic. Having people come and help work on the code with me and contribute commits that I can review with them on the stream is amazing. Having dedicated, scheduled time to work on the projects has been great too. But really, getting to know and interact with the users of the software in real time is like nothing I've experienced before online. We even just released v0.5 of HomelabOS today, in no small part thanks to the help of my twitch viewers/channel[2]!

That's why the old drunks you see at the convience store, always buy a 6 pack of eggs to go with their two 40 oz beers. It's the days meal.
Great story!

Out of curiosity I wondered about the current state of the Prudential website. So I searched, and found Berkshire Hathaway bought the real estate arm in 2012 and now they are Berkshire Hathaway Home Services.

I did a local search on the website, received pictures and basic information (price) for each house... and for each one it lists the same toll-free number as a contact.

So the site he built basically works the same way!
Everyone willing to post their photo, at least. My hardware setup isn't that different than images, but I have 2 laptops KVMed to one monitor and the resulting pile of cables. I have no desire for the world to see my chaos, or my messy office, or my pile of diet mountain dew cans, because somehow admitting to such vices on HN is OK, but documenting them via a photo feels wrong.
No chevrons? I am disappointed.

I find that exceedingly hard to believe. Sources, please. And I don't want a single study concluding sweeteners might affect gut biome in rats or might provoke some insulin secretion. I want serious, reputable studies claiming sweeteners are worse than sugar, a substance arguably killing more people per year than tobacco.

To provide some real data to the discussion, a study analysing 36000 deaths and 3 million person-years (published by the American Heart Association) found a 21% increase in all cause mortality among those consuming 2 or more sugar sweetened beverages per day. Consuming 2 or more artificially sweetened beverages, on the other hand, was associated with only a 4% increase. And moderate consumtion of artificially sweetened beverages (< 2 per day) was actually, unlike sugar, associated with decreased mortality. [1]

The way sweeteners are discussed in relation to sugar is often fear-mongering and disconnected from reality. It's like equating a sewing needle to a gun because the needle might also theoretically be dangerous in some circumstances.

Man, I hope the endgame isn't "Apple-style" highway infrastructure that require you to have a Tesla to use the Tesla-Ready® roads/tunnels...
Marginally, yeah. But spinning that as "corn is toxic" is a bit much. Corn is perfectly fine as a food and a feed.

"Not for sale in California" is basically a marketable feature when it comes to any chemical that you expect to be nasty and bad for your health in the first place (like paints and cleaning products).
I will disagree with your disagree. Edwards demolished a barrier for me in learning to see and draw. YMMV but it was profound for me.

Edwards does focus entirely on drawing from observation, but I see that as a necessary step on the way to drawing from imagination, in much the same way that you must first learn circuit analysis in order to do circuit synthesys.
Depends where you live and the time of the year. Clams in particular can be dirt cheap.
As a regular visitor on /r/macsetups, I find your site's navigation cool! I look forward to more setups :-)
Its major competitors spent 2 centuries actively attacking & sabotaging it (a fact that the US population doesn't seem aware of), seems fair.

Having done no CS in school and jumping right into python and JS, learning how the sausage was made was immensely satisfying. I wrote a CHIP-8 emulator in Python and then a Game Boy emulator in Rust. None of those skills have been practically useful but were very educational.
Building a railway from coast to coast has already been done in the 19th century. An HSR line is just a railway line built to higher standards:

- larger curve radiuses (spelling?). Not much of a factor when a line mostly crosses sparsely populated, flat areas.

- less steep inclines (but if a steam engine can climb an incline, so should every modern train)

- Switches that allow high speeds on the diverging branch. But again, if the population is sparse, you don't need many of them.

And when building a part of the line to HSR standards is too expensive, the HSR train just turns into a regular train while using it. The only part that's expensive even if the geography is great is electrification (having to carry fuel or batteries limits your speed).

Switzerland does not use HSR despite prioritizing rail. I couldn't find numbers, but AFAIK it's very densely populated if you exclude the uninhabitable parts of the alps. Germany is slightly less densely populated and does use HSR. France has less than half the density and its HSR is significantly faster than Germany's. It does not look like HSR requires a high population density. The opposite is the case: HSR works better when it can go long distances without stopping and re-accelerating.

And even if HSR does not make sense everywhere, that is not a reason not to use it where it does.
The diet soda doesn’t “cause” weight gain. At most it leads people to overindulge because they did one thing “healthy”. Saying diet soda causes weight gain is like saying eating at Subway causes weight gain because people go there and eat pizza, ice cream and cookies because they think it’s healthier.
I wonder if they'll start using Twin Ion Engines anytime soon?
I don't know what's considered a safe speed for moving a train without working safety systems on a European high-speed railway, but it's almost certainly so slow (20-40km/h) that the system is designed such that failure of the control system is extremely rare. Should it fail, the priority will be to restore it, rather than move trains around very slowly.
You mean like FireOS and lineageOS? They are forks of Android.
Wasn't the "legislative" council filled with appointees and served as an advisory role to the british governor ruling over hong kong? Where is the democracy there. Also china played around with "local" elections, doesn't mean they were/are a democracy.

As for your last point, so what? Nobody is claiming china is a democracy. But neither was britain. And it's laughable that "chinese pressure" is why britain didn't allow democracy in hong kong. It's a convenient excuse that doesn't change the facts.

Britain never allowed democracy in hong kong. And it's simply absurd to claim hong kong was "free" when it was a conquered colony of britain. It's one of the ironies of history. Hong kong only became "free" and "democratic" under chinese rule.

And in the final years, the "LegCo and the Urban/Regional Councils" may have been elected but they were powerless advisors. The ruler of hong kong, the governor, who had actual power was not elected.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Patten

Does that guy look like an "elected" and "rightful" leader of hong kong? A guy who wasn't born in hong kong and who didn't grow up in hong kong ruled hong kong by appointment, not election. It's absurd that anyone would claim hong kong was free or democratic at any point under british rule. Britain itself wasn't a democracy and it never allowed any of it's colonies, especially the non-white colonies, to become a democracy.

The truth of the matter is hong kong was never a democracy and probably will never be one. Neither the colonizing brits or the chinese were interested in hong kong being a democracy.
We'd be out of many jobs if people started breaking windows.

Or maybe that time & money could be spent on something else, it's not like we're running out of things to do.
This is bullshit, nobody should have to go and rot in prison for releasing evidence of illegal and unconstitutional conduct by your own government against your people and standing by what you believe in.

History will show eventually that Snowden did the the right thing. The people will eventually come around because they know deep down that what he stood for was protecting their freedom. Perhaps not in a way that had boots on the ground against some foreign enemy, but against a government that was overreaching and spying on the lives of its own citizens against the peoples' constitutional rights.

It is your responsibility to hold your government accountable for their behaviour and he did that in the only possible way he could have - any other way would have seen his complaints shut down and he would have been silenced, by legal or illegal means. His only recourse was to obtain the information secretly and release the information to the public and let the U.S. population judge for themselves whether or not a government by the people, of the people and for the people was acting in the best interest of those to whom it is constitutionally bound.

You don't need to be a martyr to do what's right, you don't need to be a martyr to do what you believe in. The fact that he fled to preserve his freedom doesn't make what he did any less right, nor does it make him any less principled.

If I had to flee the country to preserve as much of my enjoyment of life as I could, while standing up for what I believe is right, I would do the same thing - and I think you'd probably find that a large proportion of other people would too.

If you were guaranteed to rot in a cell for standing up for what's right, would you still stand for what's right? Or would you fall in line and do what you were told?

Or would you find another way to stand up for what you believed was right?

>Mobile application permission systems don't cease to exist in the absence of a sanctioned app store.

Permissions systems definitely do not anything against malware. See: all the flashlight apps with every permission under the sun.

>Even in the worst-case scenario, malware on modern phone operating systems is substantially more limited in disruptive and destructive power than what one can achieve on Windows without a UAC grant.

Sure, but it can still collect all your pictures, have access to your microphone/cameras, and tarck your location. It's better than full control of your device, but it's not that much better.
Isn't this just tax dollars giving subsidies?
IMHO regular mail is subsidizing all the junk mail. They offer bulk rates based on the assumption that delivery is already paid for.
At that point you have expanded the meaning of "persecution" to nonsense.

Sure, we could accept Americans as "politically persecuted", because highways in America have speed limits. But we choose not to.

At some point you need to accept that not every difference in laws is persecution. That not every difference in law means that the other one is doing something wrong.

Alas, the US Supreme Court feels similarly when its conservative wing always dismisses all analogies and examples abroad as obviously uninteresting. I think "our SCOTUS" gets this balance right, or at least more right, when it differentiates between "would not constitutional in Germany, but is a valid viewpoint" and "would not be constitutional, and is so far beyond the pale that there cannot be an accomodation".

An extradition case starring an American from some years ago is a prime example for this differentiation, in my opinion (anyone interested in reading a summary?).
You measuring the best of VP9 Encoder in Image quality, and then points to SVT-VP9 being the fastest encoder which isn't optimise for quality.

The VP9 encoder also tends to smooth ( clean ) the video rather than working with the noise ( Not a problem for most short internet video ), which even as of today x264 is very very good and possibly the best at.
I'm halfway "parable of the talents" by Octavia E. Butler (I'm trying to read all the novels that won a Nebula Award). I can see it happening if US keep the current trajectory.
Ok, so every time an American is arrested abroad, Trump could declare them a diplomat and the country would have to let them off without charges? This is really what the Vienna Convention requires?

Why doesn’t every country just do this routinely, in that case?
It will remain functional, although its parameters are changing.
Your average engineer is far more intelligent and introspective than your average police though. They will have biases, but not the same ones police have and far less racist or sexist ones. Police officers have a rate of domestic violence at 2-4x that of the normal population. We 100% benefit by moving the power up the chain from uneducated people to educated people.
Agreed!

I was a BB Classic user for about 2 years before jumping ship to iOS for practical reasons.

Aside from what you mentioned, I would also bring up that, at least on the Classic, the little touch nub/joystick/trackpad thing was actually incredibly handy. It could act as a mouse, which meant that you could use "Desktop" websites very easily, since you didn't have to try to fat finger tiny little buttons. And since it was essentially a real mouse, hovering worked to, which is nice for sites that required that.

For those that have never seen one, it was a small button, about the size of an iPhone home button, but the surface doubled as a capactive trackpad, I assume with similar tech to those used in laptops, but far more sensitive. I still used the touch-screen a fair amount, but having a mouse was wonderful when you needed it.

The hardware on the Classic was just fantastic... long battery life, good build quality, and a SIM+microSD slot.
The fact is, there is no peer reviewed research proving that eating 5g per day, or 6g or 7g or 9g or 2g for that matter will have any material impact on health.

It’s an arbitrarily chosen number. Just like most thinking around food and diet, these things are highly influenced by current trends.

Obsessing over arbitrarily specific numbers in your diet is missing the point. Just make a conscious effort to consume sugar in moderation and you’ll be fine.
Good luck isolating China from its Asian neighbors, I expect that plan will backfire spectacularly.
Helpful. But I think he sounds somewhat naive about why people buy what they buy.

"why do people think canned meats are a good deal?”

Canned meats don't go bad. You also don't have to thaw them out. I'm certainly no fan, but I can understand why people keep such things handy. What is the cost of running to the market more often because you refuse to buy such things? Time, after all, is money.

"we have no idea what nutrition costs."

There's more to nutrition than protein.

Yes, I think there's something here. But as-is it's a bit too simplistic. It needs some meat; pun intended ;)

Space colonization does not allow us to shit our beds. Lifting things off Earth is too expensive to move our whole civilization. On the other hand, successful colonization of hostile environments like space or other planets requires great improvements in sustainability. Space ships and domed cities are too small to fuck around with the ecosystem for hundreds of years before you kill yourself.
Also new ways to create art. Tilt Brush is really cool and offers some great creation tools, but I love Medium even more.
Lower atomic mass gives better Isp for chemical rockets, for which the exhaust velocity is proportional to the temperature of the exhaust divided by the square root of the atomic mass of the exhaust product. However, these satellites are using ion propulsion. In ion engines, the exhaust velocity is constant, so a higher atomic mass allows each atom / molecule to carry more energy. This makes higher mass fuels like Xenon better for ion engines. (Radon would be better still but the radioactivity poses problems for various systems.)
