Then subs are tacos and not sandwiches? I would disagree.

The definition I like for sandwich is “A set of materials in the configuration ABA, mated along their longest side”. It holds up in contexts outside of food, that the word “sandwich” is sometimes used in, and is valid in dimensionalities other than 3.

The sub issue remains though. Semantically, it could be argued that subs are sandwiches that have not had their end fully cut.
You talk negatively about the protests with broad accusations, but without bringing facts to back them up. I really wish I hadn't to counter this.

> It's immaterial in these protests as it is a manifestation of despair due to economic reality and worsening living conditions without a hope of revival.

The protest started because of the extradition law. Then, due to police brutality against the protestors, the demands widened to these areas.

I question your truthfulness. Was Hong Kong in economic despair? And is that the reason for the protest?

Also, the economy will take a hit because of the protests, so after some time there will be an effect visible. But be honest here, and don't mix up cause and symptom. Also, even if the economy of Hong Kong suffered, you have yet to show that the protests are because of that.

Furthermore, you claim there is "[no] hope of a revival". Well, if the Chinese communist regime works on making them suffer, it will be more difficult to prosper, but without that there is no reason why they shouldn't have success. It's a red flag that you make this claim.

> Extradition treaty require local competent court to make a decision whether to extradite or not. But For majority of protestors it is immaterial because the perception is that Hong Kong do not have a decent judiciary or legal system, it works at the whims of China (again a perception created by few). So the actual discussion no one wants to discuss or hear.

Edward Snowden went initially to Hong Kong because of the high independence and quality of their court system.

I want to hear discussion, after all I'm here because of that, but I don't want to hear echoed propaganda.

Your third point is an attack on the protestors. The AfD in Germany did something like that at a demonstration of children for measures against climate change. They asked them highly specific question regarding the actual percentage of CO2 in the air. Most got them wrong, and the AfD used that to devalue the protestors and the protest.

It is obviously clear that you do not need to understand the details to have a valid political demand that you can voice in a demonstration and protests. Insinuating otherwise is another red flag.

Can you even acknowledge a single demand the protestors are making?

> "it would be difficult to develop adequate charging stations with 85% of the population living in high-density, government-supported housing."

This is a common fallacy. If there is already somewhere to park the car, then you already have somewhere to install charging. In a highly developed city like Singapore, the electric grid already extends almost everywhere.

> "hydrogen is a better long-term solution than electric vehicles for decarbonizing transportation, in part because of the carbon footprint from mining the metals needed to produce car batteries and the issues around their eventual disposal."

Batteries aren't free, but neither are electrolizers and fuel cells (limited life span, large quantities of platinum and rare earth metals needed for catalysts, etc). The lifecycle efficiency of battery electric vehicles is much better than for hydrogen fuel cells, and the infrastructure requirements are much more managable.
What is the citation for the drivers being "mostly illiterate"? Sounds like bullshit to me.

The country is something like 70-80% literate and a significant part of the illiterate population consists of old people.
Bu tin the context of Singapore it makes sense. It's a small country, a city-state. The whole country is just a bit bigger than the city of Madrid and it has a nice (AFAIK) public transport network. Also, cars are extremely expensive there, over 100K USD for a small car.

So, in the context of Singapore, a Tesla is just about status and luxury.

> Once you accept bloat, it’s very hard to claw it back. If your project has multi-minute compiles, people won’t even notice a 10s regression in compile time. Then these pile up, and it gets harder and harder to motivate the work to reduce bloat, because each second gained in compile time becomes such a small fraction of the total. https://raphlinus.github.io/rust/2019/08/21/rust-bloat.html

If accepting a feature that causes a 3x compile-time regression were easy, then that 29s build is just 5 easy decisions away from a 2-hour build. Now, nobody cares about adding more time to the builds, since nightly, and developers commit hoping it doesn't fail. This is sadly all too familiar.

Portuguese name for quince is marmelo, hence marmelada.

Also, the husks and pits (what remains) of the quince are used to make a quince jelly, that we call "geleia de marmelo" (a liquid jelly):

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=pt&tl=en&u=http%3A...

In English you have jam and jelly; in Portuguese we have compota which is jam made from fruit pulp, geleia which is liquid jelly with a consistency of jam usually made with the rest of the fruit like husks and/or pits (though the name is also used for other products like bee's royal jelly), and gelatina which is the solidified jelly.

Four-in-one pill prevents third of heart problems
Having gone this route in part myself, advantages of HTML or other more-structured file formats, if there is appropriate metadata markup:

- Allow for recording source and author information (PDF ... doesn't always provide this).

- Allows for full-text search.

- Allows for editing out annoyances.

I'll frequently go from HTML to some simplified representation (e.g., Markdown), and then re-generate formats that are useful elsewhere: HTML, PDF, ePub, etc.

Dumping from HTML to Markdown frequently makes cruft-removal far simpler, and the principle content of most pages is text. In rare instances, images are useful, and even more rarely, any multimedia content (video, audio, programmatic content).

What's depressing is the number of sites which screw with even basic HTML. E.g., the NY Times rarely use HTML tables for tabular representation, and instead use a homebrew combination of custom markup, CSS, and JS to much the same effect. Pretty, in situ, but brittle and transports exceedingly poorly.

That's just one of many such cases.

As far as I remember, there is no way to load an exact amount, so you always end up with some spare change in the app.

I assume that this is somewhat of an incentive to quite a few customers: That almost-forgotten balance almost feels like a discount towards the next purchase, not so much as a free loan to Starbucks.

Why would I, a business owner, want to pay extortionate rents for floor space in London when I could instead have an office in Crewe for 1/10th the price and still reach my clients when I need to?
Right. For example, no huge global companies run services where you pay them money and they paste your arbitrary content into other web sites...

In what way is this bigger than the production of the many components needed in a gasoline car? Internal combustion engine (as an example) is not exactly CO2 natural to manufacture either.
The article doesn't actually claim that - it just says that the accounts were posting using VPNs (which anyone visiting YouTube from China will be) and they appeared to be acting in a co-ordinated manner.

Takes about 2-3 minutes to taxi to the gate at T3, I usually chose 1C so was first off the plane. Takes 60-90 seconds to get from the gate past baggage collection (obviously hand luggage only) depending on the exact gate.

Having ordered Uber during the taxi, it was already waiting for me, so in within 2 minutes of getting off the gate. 5-7 minute drive to home in Hale Barns.

Best I did was 93 seconds from leaving taxi to gate 141, rare to take longer then 5 minutes. Once the taxi didn't arrive and I had to hail one, got in 10 minutes before scheduled departure time and was sat on the plane (in 1C) before scheduled departure time.

BA have changed since then (there's now a business class section so you don't get to choose 1C), and Manchester Airport is very hostile to people arriving/departing via taxi so I suspect it would take 5 minutes longer now.
> That doesn't explain the racism against Jews, or Asians.

True, but it does explain some of why white people in a super white neighborhood call the cops when a black guy is walking down the sidewalk. It's totally ridiculously bigoted but I think there's a big "this guy looks poor, is he going to break in somewhere?" component to it. And that's classism, not racism.

I'm not saying classism is any better btw. I am saying that trying to solve classism-disguised-as-racism by talking about skin color or culture is missing the mark. The narrative "most black people don't $negative_stereotype" is common, but I hardly see any "most poor people don't $negative_stereotype" messages out there.
