>> Wait. Please rein in your presumptions. I asked why and nothing more.

Unless your writing tends to be very tangential, or you are only using conjunctions for stylistic purposes, it's hard for me to read this and not take the position that you are asking for some kind of justification.

Specifically: "You do Z, but you do X, why?" In my very limited world, this construct implies there is a disconnect (or more rather, some connection that needs clarification) between the two. The implication is that Z and X held together create a tension in your world that needs resolution.

Perhaps that can be considered presumptuous, but if that is considered presumption then I don't think I'll be able to correctly interpret your position without a lot more syntactic clarification.

No harm done, and I'm sure we find much more agreement elsewhere. Besides, this is hardly the best thing I've read all year; I just found it funny and somewhat interesting, and I thought I found some negative pattern in the comments that would stifle otherwise interesting conversation. But perhaps the poster and I just have poor taste of cheeky humor and this doesn't belong here! That's possible too. Cheers.
I decided to parse what was given to them. Slightly restructured:

> A person shall not open, conduct, or do business as a private postsecondary educational institution (a private entity with a physical presence in this state that offers – advertise, publicize, solicit, or recruit – postsecondary education to the public for an institutional charge) in this state without obtaining an approval to operate under this chapter. The institution must be approved to operate, which means approved to establish, keep, or maintain any facility or location in this state where, or from which, or through which, postsecondary education programs are provided.

I think the key part is the determination of their location. Their California headquarters counts as a facility through which programs are provided. The fact that the classes are fully online is unrelated. They would have to argue that their headquarters don't have anything to do with providing postsecondary education programs.
Do you know how hard/expensive it would be to even dig out a hole that wide and deep?
Not exactly. GMO foods are genetically different by definition. Whether or not the difference is significant is another question, but natural vs "synthetic" diamond really is closer to the question of where a plant is grown, or perhaps if it's wild vs. planted.
> Looking from the outside it looks like both options honestly may pollute or have the same environmental impact long-term.

Not sure how you come to that conclusion. Lithium is not a fuel that is consumed in the process. It is a recyclable component. And there is no dangerous imbalance in the global lithium cycle. Which can't be said about the carbon cycle.

Just because every technology entails some environmental impact does not not mean all impacts are the same.
My guess is that many will buy bigger stones, so that the financial outlay is roughly the same.
Having looked into the finances of car share companies I can vouch that the fleet costs are just huge blots of red ink on their finances

Uber wouldn't work if they owned the fleet - it's a huge advantage to just be the app + ops + acquisition costs
Just to be clear, he was talking to High School students, so perhaps sacrificed a little accuracy for the sake of making a point.

I still think the general idea is sound, even if you don't take it literally on implementation

Just to address that for the sake of that dude, I didn't want it to come across the wrong way.

To address some things further down:

I do remember a specific detail, and I don't know how accurate it is, however, he did explain that (and also prefaced how theoretical it is, even at that time more so I imagine):

- If you wanted to do this right, what you would want to do is desalinate the water and pump it to existing surface basins/reservoirs first (e.g., the Colorado River Basin), and taking great care to match that water to the ecology (e.g., mineral, PH level etc) of the water you are replenishing This way you aren't forcing an entire set of infrastructure to be obsolete, but rather working with existing delivery modes to get the water where it needs to be

- In cases where this isn't feasible, your best bet would be to run some sort of infrastructure (likely pipes) to those in need. In some cases, you might even be able to simply create new reservoirs to feed population centers to create efficient delivery mechanisms. The other thing I remember him mentioning specifically is there are many delivery mechanisms (e.g natural) ones that were no longer in productive service that could be revived also (I wish I had an example for this, but I don't).

The cheapest way to do this (by the dudes estimation) would be to use nuclear power near the coasts, that rely on the salt water for cooling which gives you two advantages:

1. in theory, the water that the plants themselves could produce a by product of clean, usable water[0]

2. The nuclear power plants themselves should be able to produce the power cheaply and ecologically friendly)[1]

3. This would incentive more research into pressurized water systems for nuclear power, which in theory could yield smaller reactors which in turn are even safer as is intrinsic to their design, they may even yield ever smaller sized reactors[2][3]

Its, in a practical sense, feasible, but I think the takeaway I had back then and even now, thinking about it, was we needed to start this by 2009 to have it be up and going by 2019. Which isn't to say that we shouldn't do something now, but rather, we're still deciding what to do about it and that's crippling
It's not quite that simple. The needs and responses of a local market can be completely different from one to the next.

Because of differing cultures, we respond very differently to color palettes, design aesthetics, safety concerns, cool factors, etc. And since the entire point of marketing is to sell, then the the brand's visuals, branding strategy, responses to concerns, etc, all have to be completely customized for the local market in order to engage customers.

For example one common difficulty tech companies often encounter while trying to enter Japan was how difficult it was to acquire and retain users compared to anywhere else. Some gave up, some would keep trying, and surprise—it would magically work out when you hire a local ad team, local designers, art directors, etc. Western companies' sleek, advanced designs are easy to use and navigate, but the locals understand that culturally, the Japanese society resists change. They are used to early day yahoo/geocities level of banner ads and flashing gifs on a page so that they can feel certain that what they are using can be authentically catered to the Japanese people and supported. Overly simple designs like a Bootstrap framework was simply too frightening, new and confusing.

Same can be applied to pretty much anything from fashion, beauty, food, retail of any kind, to things like Uber, which specifically has its own complexities to solve while trying to enter a taxi-efficient market like that; a completely different marketing problem to solve than say Australia's safety concern as you mentioned.

TL;DR: Can't easily centralize marketing because local cultures and needs are always different; and you need locals to know what locals will want/engage with.
Well my question is why they consume so much memory/CPU? What makes these services so different from earlier chat systems? Are these users continuously doing video chat with each other or keep sockets open? For simple text chat, 4GB of RAM seems absurdly high, considering how irc was able to handle thousands of users 3 decades ago.
My first thought when I heard that Apple were ditching fingerprints for face recognition was that the lag would be infuriating after getting used to picking up my phone and unlocking it as I did so. With the sensor on the back, it became a natural thing to do and meant my phone was ready and unlocked before I was looking at the screen.

They are describing face unlock working equivalently well, which would mitigate my concerns a lot.

The presumed lack of a headphone port is annoying though. I know it's an oft-stated thing, but still. I just wish anyone was offering a phone with a second USB-C port on top as an alternative. It'd be useful in other ways too.

My main issue with wireless headphones is that I swap between 3+ devices regularly and I have never found any good wireless headphones that handle that as well as just swapping a cable, as counter-intuitive as that is.

There was a time I said I'd never buy a phone without a physical keyboard (mostly solved by bigger screens and swiping virtual keyboards), and later a removable SD card (solved by storage size outpacing my storage needs—on a phone at least), so I assume this, too, shall pass.

Once you have mined the material to use in the battery it can (and will) be recycled into making new batteries (or other uses). It is essentially mine once.

Natural gas is extracted and then burnt. Because it is consumed it requires continual extraction, i.e. endless mining.

Furthermore, batteries are of course energy storage, while natural gas is generation. If you couple batteries with renewable energy generation (solar, wind, etc) you no longer require the use of an extractive fuel, nor do you incur combustion pollution costs. This has to be where we end up because it is the only sustainable way for us to operate. Better we get there sooner rather than later.
Static compiling, common across all OSes before it became an option alongside dynamic linking.

Fast compile times, already being enjoyed by many with Turbo Pascal for MS-DOS, or Object Pascal for Mac OS, among other languages with similar support for modules.

Just to add some context here from a Wisconsinite, Vos is one of the cheerleaders of our great Foxconn corporate welfare scheme.

It’s not the point, the point is risk and opportunity cost. In order to “save up money” like you said means I need to make a lot of sacrifices in the here and now for a future risk. People with money don’t have to sacrifice.

The right and obvious solution is to make special accommodations for people with special needs.
I don't how much that will accomplish. Lots of people without insurance have no means to even pay the discounted rates. I had a drug that until it was available in generic form was $90 (so at 10% copay, I presume it cost the pharmacy $900) But lets say that was a lie and it actually cost $200. Without insurance it would still be too expensive to many people.

This one. You make reasonable accommodations for people who can't follow the normal rules. This is how the ADA is worded - employers have to make reasonable accommodations as long as it doesn't prevent the person from doing their job.
Exactly this. Also no one could block adding the hardware support into AOSP's HAL, so that option is possible.
How it was recorded has nothing to do with copyright law (in this case, mechanical rights are a whole thing).

A musical work was publicly performed (via the radio). He recorded that musical performance (making a copy of the musical work in the process) and then distributed that recording of it to a wider audience. Each time someone watches that video, that is a public performance of that musical work.

Whether there was intent or not, it doesn’t matter. How it was recorded doesn’t matter.

Copyright law doesn’t care about intent. It cares whether a musical work has been performed or copied. Both have happened in this case.

And it can be argued that it does not fall under news programming (he’s not a journalist breaking a story) nor educational (he’s not teaching anything). Therefore it will struggle to be considered fair use.

This is actually copyright law finally being applied correctly on the internet. Its just taken years for it to actually happen on platforms like YouTube.

Avoiding punctuation marks and lower case letters makes the output of codegroup much easier to transmit over a voice or traditional telegraphic link.
This is a complete smokescreen. The truth is that Jimmy Anderson is a Democrat, and the speaker, Robin Vos, is a Republican.

Vos is simply trying to screw over and disenfranchise a Democrat by any means available. Just like Republicans refuse to even consider Democratic justices and constantly try to disenfranchise voters. To a Republican, power is the only thing that matters at any cost.

There is no other useful version of this story, just layers of bullshit.

>> The expensive price tag is a feature, not a bug...

>Feature? For who? The diamond industry?

Each couple is a world unto themselves, as such each is very different and equally unique. However, when it comes to large engagement stones like diamonds, the rings can generally serve three functions:

1) as a flaunting of the wealth of the suitor and the bride-to-be. Generally, you see this with people that are more about 'image' than 'substance'. People like the current US President who is notorious for his use of gold leaf, people that are in 'society' and need to be seen, people in the jewelry industry itself that can use the ring as an advertisement, etc.

2) as a psuedo-dowery for the marriage and the bride-to-be. Essentially, the suitor is 'pot committed', to borrow a poker term, and has a higher likelyhood of actually making it to the wedding as he has put a 'down-payment' on the bride-to-be. This is an extremely regressive stance on marriage, but it persists all the same. The bride-to-be also now has a lump-sum of money that that ring can be pawned off for in case the marriage is not preformed. Traditionally, if the ring was expensive enough, the couple could then start having intercourse and risk pregnancy as the bride-to-be could be assured that the suitor was now serious about marriage and would not run off after intercourse.

3) as a sign to others in society that they share the same values system and can be relied upon to perpeuate the culture too. This is something of a deal in religious communities and in family groups. By putting a lot of money up for such a ring, the couple shows that they are financially committed to the value system of others. This is also known as 'tradition'.
