I had a Peugeot 205 and have now a 206 since 2004, they are amazing cars. They are non non-sense cars, easy and inexpensive to maintain, you can actually do a lot of mechanic yourself.

Talking about the play in the steering wheel, I have none but once scared myself driving the Ford of a friend because of this issue.
This is a good point. I've been hearing "deplatforming" as the word for what's happening and that seems more accurate than censoring. In part because if we call this censoring and then later the government actually does strictly ban this content - what do we call that?

The Guardian are asking the readership to support the articles, you'll note they paid for their own icecream.'Influencers' are asking the subjects to fund the articles. One is advertising, one is journalism.

I'll backtrack slightly on that last sentence, advertising/sponsorship can work for certain things, in general though its a big conflict of interest.
shame on science！
If the argentinian government wasn't riddled with corruption and people who literally stole most of public money then there wouldn't be a child poverty rate of 50% and engineers like myself wouldn't dream of emigrating.

Nevermind that I was one of those poor children.

But yes, the "policy" is the problem. Not the big heads stealing money.
I need to experiment with this. I don't say that mantra and my channel is slowly growing (by about 100% a year and starting to do a hockey-stick curve, but starting from very little). I should take a minute at the end of a video (or even the beginning!) to make a case for supporting the actual channel, on the grounds of it'll help the message get out.

I can phrase it as 'like OR DISLIKE and subscribe and click the bell icon', and explain how the dislike button is the same thing (both go to 'engagement') plus a little feedback for me the creator. So you can help the channel AND try steering me away from more channel-whoring by disliking and subscribing. Hell, maybe it helps you more. Please dislike and subscribe :D
Happy to get your feedback to make it more comprehensive

Insects also are primary processors of rotting biomass. Without them we will soon find that corpses last longer.

The use of an approach based on Letters of Credit entail clasuses that compel arbitration. That means there must be "Principled Documents" available that will support a court case in the event the arbitration process fails. Further, it is now seen that there are weaknesses in arbitration jurisprudence that allow either party to reneg on payments to the arbitrator; in which case the judge must dismiss the case. (Harvard Negotiation Law Review). It is not clear if the arbitration process will be modified (read: repaired). In effect, Amazon is asking to ignore precedent jurisprudence.

But by fixing it yourself, aren't you effectively training the corporation to stay sloppy? Sure, this bug is fixed right now. But a year down the road, when the staff count for quality assurance gets renegotiated, the position to deliver quality out of the box gets weakened, resulting in even more bugs of this kind.

That's my question. Could you not just put a box over the plant for 5 minutes? Even if it needed to be a more elaborate system to simulate the correct rate of light falling and rising, it would surely be easier than waiting for an eclipse.
No we never had Elementals. In the early days there was no way we could afford them. In the later days I don't think we would want them as we needed to scale so many transcode jobs that it was easier to have a large farm of dumb machines to organise jobs across.

There may have been an element machine at one point that was used for testing/playing but I really don't think so, and know there wasn't one between 2010 and 2017.
> Stop using pesticides.

That.
Though I'm very skeptical about the rest of your message. Do you happen to have any source by chance?

And also try not to buy (or at least avoid it as often as possible) products that come from those that use pesticides to reduce the impact of farming.
I read a book where this difference in expressiveness removed a subtlety of writing from the translated version.

The original English version had a passage where it was unclear (on purpose) which grandmother was being referred to (it later turned out to be the one you didn't expect). However, with Swedish having no generic word for grandmother (only mormor and farmor), this nuance was lost in the translation.

BTW. I don't doubt diabetes is a huge problem and there just is a reason I don't know but I'm actually curious: why not just go keto, what would you need insulin for if you just stopped eating carbs? Also can't R-lipoic acid do the job of push glucose into the cells?
The problem isn't you and me, the problem is "the most".

In my time, we all hung out on IRC (well, some still do, but mostly for technical stuff). But IRC was like ARP and IP, you needed to set some parameters, enter a server address (that you had to look up in a paper magazone or had to ask a friend for it), you had to join a channel, that you had to find first (listing all channels was useless on larger ircnets), and then you could chat. ...and you had to be online to receive messages, which was a problem back then with dialup connections.

Then came "social networks" (myspace, facebook,...), where all you needed to know was "myspace.com", and they offered objectively "more" than irc (chat messages were recorded even if you were offline, photos, profile pages,...), and people started using those. So if you wanted to chat with friends, you had to make an account there. And most people slowly migrated to myspace, and then facebook, and so on.

Anyone can build a website, set up video streaming, buy virtual machines for video hosting, etc. But if "all of your friends" (97%(?) of video watchers) open up youtube, and search for videos there, and your video is not there, it's the same if you were alone on an empty irc channel with two other users on the irc server.
Yes, and I think we should protect users from automatic updates.

An AV company should only be able to update the car software after that software has correctly driven for X million miles.

Perhaps a separate agency should perform the actual updating (installing of the new software), so we can be certain that no "quick fixes" are happening behind the scenes.
The opposite is true. Golang is on average 2-3 times slower than Java. On the plus side, it uses less memory.
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott is a nice little book. Abbott blends planar geometry and reality brilliantly. For example, every planar geometry object is a member of the flatland and as the number of points grow in the figure it becomes more wise; Circle is the wisest of all. It's funny how he describes personality types using isosceles triangles, equilateral triangles, and squares. In fact, he calls himself a square.

Be warned for sexist ideas and satirical writing.

The difference between your example and the YouTube case is in how accessible are the alternatives. If the only store close to you bans you, then it can be somewhere between a major inconvenience and practically impossible to go to an alternative.

On the other hand, replacing YouTube as a hosting platform isn't too hard (I think? I don't actually have much experience with this but there are alternatives).

Of course the big issue isn't YouTube the host, it's YouTube the marketing platform - but even here there are alternatives. Host on vimeo, but use other social media more. More Facebook posts. Get an audience via podcasts. I'm not saying it's easy, I'm saying that I'm not at all convinced that YouTube really is a monopoly in the sense where we want to do something about it.

Segfaulting and OOM on MCU's is far more rare than on a device with an entire operating system on top.

In most cases, MCU IDE's like the classic Arduino one don't even give you an allocator, all data must be statically allocated beforehand.

IIRC it doesn't use the stack either. The main() and loop() functions initialize all their variables statically.

When you have 2KB of memory to share between code, data and stack, allocating and using stack for function calls is luxury that only introduces problems.

Hence, I've never ever ever seen an MCU crash from segfaults or OOMs.

On the plus side they will also use vastly less energy. 10 Milliamps is enough to drive a ESP8266 or ESP32, in deep sleep you start counting microamps. A single battery cell can easily last a month.
On the other hand journalism has also been a weapon for controlling mass opinion, propaganda, and promoting particular interests, from the days of Hearst at least, to the WMD and all kinds of more subtle manipulation.

I'd rather have a vibrant scene like the blogging of yore, with good voices rising to the top (or not), than large press interests and gatekeepers.

Try opening a large file with Notepad on a contemporary machine. The window must not be full screen. When loaded, mark all text using the mouse (the keyboard works as well, it just needs more manual skill). While still holding the button down (and marking) move the mouse down, so the text gets marked and scrolled. Now compare the scroll speed while holding the mouse still versus wiggling it. Depending on your machine the speed up can be several times faster.

I always thought that this scroll behavior is known and special in that it helps precise scrolling. I know winapi and why this happens, but never viewed it as a wild bug. Can’t recall now, but I think Mac and Linux behave the same way. Can someone confirm that?
Until Citizens United is repealed there is little hope for anything resembling the arrangement which you describe.

For one thing you can (and will) generate blood sugar from protein, even with no supply of "carbs". I've heard that eventually after a few weeks the brain can use fat, but I don't know to which degree.

Isn't that what the voting system is for then? When I see someone has already written what I was going to say, I upvote them instead of writing a "me too" comment. My other upvotes are reserved for posts that spark my curiosity, or grey comments where I think the downvotes were undeserved.

I almost never upvote comments I disagree with, unless (as above) they bring something new to the table. Downvotes I try to reserve for obnoxious or trollish comments only, but I admit there may be occasions where some man's troll is another man's freedom fighter.

It worked when the right relied on "seriousness" and "respectability". Mockery is the counter to seriousness. The targets of this used to be at the top of the power ladder; mocking them was a form of levelling.

The right has largely stopped trying to engage neutrals on any kind of intellectual, rational basis, and has instead gone for leaning heavily on the emotional buttons of fear and power. Especially power: the cruelty of family separation at the border is deliberate. The right tells you who to hate and encourages you to watch their humiliation, but picks targets by their vulnerability. Hence it has to lie about their power and big up children into "threats to national security".

The tank parade is yet another symbol of this, nicely timed for just after the 30th anniversary of Tianamen.
Why do not need to count in the first place? whilst scale of protests important, who has counted the crowd. And given the authority ignored it why bother? The counting is silly the walk is not.

Well, on average every human contributes around 0.000000014% of world-wide emissions, which is essentially nothing. So we come to the conclusion that nobody should do anything.

text overlays would still be clunky, what's really needed is dynamic video spliced directly into the stream so the viewer understands it's the broadcasters' connection that is poor not the viewer's.

This could be achieved if twitch allowed broadcasters to upload a 2 second loop as a 'placeholder' for connection drops, and twitch could mix that in if it detects too many frame-drops.

It would need to be a setting though because some streamers just stream over a bad connection (e.g. Hitchhiking streams) and wouldn't want that interruption.
I know the most people on here have a terrible opinion of bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general but I think a lot of the criticism based on energy usage and transactions per second is in bad faith.

meme gets so much traction.

The trick is to compare driving deaths to other things where we had a much bigger (or smaller) reaction relative to the number of lives lost.

For example, tell someone "cars kill as many people as twelve September-11th attacks every year" and they might wonder where the trillion-dollar war on road deaths is.

On the other hand, tell someone "heart disease kills 17 times as many people as cars every year" and you'll give them the opposite impression.

This is why we need a solution that separates the social network from the storage platform. Maybe as a first step, have a system that combines your peertube, bitchute and youtube accounts together, like a semi-rss feed. Maybe you should be able to use your google account on the alternate platforms. Google won't like such adversarial compatibility, but if done client side there won't be much they can do.
I recently overheard someone talking about how the lane assist in their new car tried to stop them from safely passing a cyclist. It tried to force them to stay in the lane.

As a cyclist it made me wonder how many of the close-passes I experience, where drivers just full on don't change course and blast past me with inches to spare, are actually due to the car not wanting the driver to move out of the lane.

For a fairly intuitive UI, check out the Tesla, particularly in its latest incarnations. In my estimation it is at least as usable as most tablets, and very discoverable.

However, look online and you will discover a litany of people who decry the lack of physical buttons to control everything.

Car UI is hard, not just because it is hard, but because there are many different groups of "us", and we have all grown used to different forms of car UI, BMW vs Ford for example.
