I know how to flirt, the issue is a lot of women don't want guys flirting with them constantly. In another reply, I mentioned how the demographics of my city have a lot of men from a middle eastern background. Their culture is much more forward and the women I know in my life complain about getting constantly hit on.

This isn't an issue of me being socially incompetent, it's about me trying to be a decent human and not annoy women who are constantly being annoyed. Likewise, I don't want to hit on women in a workplace setting because I feel that people should be able to come to work without being made to feel uncomfortable. Some women may like it but some will feel uncomfortable and it's the latter group I'm being respectful towards.

My policies mean I probably sleep with fewer women than I could but dating in 2019 is already stupidly easy.
I'd disagree with 2 and 3, at least at the hobbyist level. Fusion can import STEP files, which at least in my experience are far more common that SolidWorks files. And there's a huge number of Fusion tutorials and videos online, not to mention that Autodesk has a large selection of howto videos on their website.
This makes so much sense. Genius move from Finland. (Swede here.)
There is a clear justification in projecting the trend lines; we have a theory developed from observation that has predicted what has happened so far. This theory predicts that the trends will continue, it is robust and substantiated. The introduction of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere by humans is causing the earth to heat.

Take it however you want to, as a joke or as serious criticism.
It is in their mathematical expression that the laws of nature find their most precise form. Math, therefore, is the single most objective kind of knowledge. But, at the same time, that also means that Math cannot be political. (I am not talking about the impact of mathematics on the society, which is what the book is about.)
I am not sure that's the assumption behind it, but I do agree these things are products of assumptions.

I have ideas for how I would organize a company if I had a blank slate. However, usually if you start getting investment, the discussions get more restricted.
"You can write bad code in any language" is fairly proven.

Can you write good code in any language, though? At least, good enough? It's quite hard to study objectively, but my subjective opinion is "no". Trivially, brainfuck certainly doesn't cut it, but even if you're only looking at serious languages geared toward general, production-quality programming, there's a lot of programming languages that are much easier to make mistakes in or abuse than others.

> It looks like they became one.

It's the same way in every endeavor. People get used to doing things a certain way, and forget the reason why. Try a different way, and relearn the reason why :-)

It's a reason why hiring some older people is worthwhile. They can tell you why things are done in way X, so you can avoid costly mistakes.
As I mentioned in another comment, the main solution is to start small, pay attention to feedback, and escalate if appropriate.
Harder than you might think! People in my lab have worked on a system that monitor deforestation in Indonesia with satellite data https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01431161.2019.15... and it’s not a simple problem. You need to work tightly with local authorities, and they are often complicit in these deforestations.
That is exactly what is being proposed, but the inverse.
Our government is short sighted so even if you all chipped something, our current president would rather have it burned to the ground to allow illegal mining, wood cutters and cattle raising on the burned ground.

It seems like every country kinda has their own "Chinese food", in the netherlands if you go to a chinese restaurant most dishes will actually be indonesian. Also a bunch of dishes you'll only find in dutch "chinese" restaurants that I haven't found in other countries.

One example of this is "Babi Pangang"
That's a big part of the motivation for me.

I wanted GNU tools and environment, and I also wanted to not have to install Linux on the Apple hardware, because I don't have the patience for that.
Maybe you should be editting the wikipedia page on human sex differences? Because currently it strongly gives the impression that those differences are real and substantial
Even if google doesn't have a political bias, there's no way for them to avoid allegations of unfair political treatment. They're in an unenviable position as the arbiter of global popularity and visibility, and there are thousands of mostly far-right groups that are flooding google with garbage. Just by virtue of taking down clearly false, misleading, or violent content, they're already "biased" against one political ideology.

Inheritance is often overused but its obviously important and useful. When it works it works seamlessly. You don't have to think about all the inheritance in collection libraries, for example.
I currently live in pioneer square, close to one of the homeless shelters. Here are some of the things I have seen in the last 1.5 years:

1. People openly shitting on the sidewalk.

2. Ambulances carrying away a junkie that overdosed and
died in a doorwell

3. Having to push a sleeping person out of the way of the doorwell just to leave my apartment

4. random screaming, for hours almost every night

5. my girlfriend gets constantly harrassed

6. I puked in the alley our moving truck was in while moving in because there was so much human feces.

7. A naked person crabwalking down a hill

8. someone ripped a metal garbage can off of its stand,
grabbed a vodka bottle that was inside it and threw it at a passing car, breaking their window

9. mass vandalism and theft of rental bicycles.

10. someone throwing those rental bicycles into the street

11. one homeless person attempted to steal a backpack from another homeless person having a panic attack or overdose WHILE A COP WAS HELPING THEM.

12. bike theft in broad daylight on 1st avenue

13. drug deals and needles. I have a picture of an
abandoned backpack with dozens of needles sprawled around it

14. someone got shot at the 7/11 at night

15. a month later, there was broken glass from a bullet hole at the cherry street cafe.

16. someone using their gun as a pillow

17. tent camping, where i have to walk into the street to get around them.

18. people wandering around in the streets aimlessly, almost getting hit by cars.

19. ive been harrased in restaurants by homeless people that come in and want my food.

20. shopping carts full of trash, parked on the sidewalk every day.

Seattle decriminilizing drugs is one thing. But decriminilizing these kinds of petty crimes has turned pioneer square into something shameful and dangerous.

In my opinion, the city should not decriminilize drugs until AFTER the facilities (rehab and involuntary mental health institutions) are in place.

The non-drug related crimes should not be tolerated either way, and what Dan Satterberg prosecutes/charges with regards to repeat offenders is criminal in itself. His personal agenda is putting the public at risk and he should resign immediately.
Ive switched to specialist retailers. Quality is higher and selection in that niche is wider than amazons offerings in that category. Shipping far more reliable as well from a competent carrier who isn’t throwing piss bottles out the window onto my street and stealing packages.
It's interesting that you recite this talking point by them of

> powdered drinks

What tea shop uses powder? I honestly have not experienced one. Even places that boba guys likes to look down upon like Quickly's (an honest logistical marvel: 2 immigrants that know no english serves 300 menu items) don't use "powder". At the worst they use fructose while boba guys itself uses (they use a mix of brown and white sugar to make their syrups). is that really that much of a difference? especially when boba guys oversteeps there tea and warns people against getting 0-25% sugar?

I'm not insinuating it's "white worship".

1. you are a 16 year old AA not in the SGV and you and your AA friends manage to find a boba place to hang out.
2. it's hard to offer this experience to your non AA friends as they would never go there because it's "dirty" and most importantly unknown. and so your network is smaller, your experience more alien
3. this makes boba guys so easy to go to now and then mention to your white friends, who love it because it's an aesthetic they know and a marketing copy their moms can get behind.

This is not a priori the wrong way to approach this problem. However, when this leads to claiming only your way is right and perpetuating racist stereotypes that if a boba shop does not LOOK clean, it must NOT BE clean.

INSTEAD what boba guys needs to do is be honest (rather than perpetuate untruths about other boba places). do everything to get your nut, but not at the direct expense of others.

These are an aside, but Andrew Chau has a history of making cringy semi-racist statements in addition to lying about their sources of funding and their margins.

I thought this link was going to be this article:
https://www.lrb.co.uk/v41/n07/jon-day/operation-columba

which is an interesting article about pigeon service in WWII from a different British literary review magazine, and the writer of the article turns out to be the author of the book reviewed here. Definitely interested to read the book, based on these two articles.

But my favourite pigeon-related link on the internet is this fun pigeon-breeding game from the University of Utah's genetics programme:

I don't necessarily disagree, but this feels like a diplomatic nightmare. It would encourage the rest of the world to threaten to burn their resources too, in order to extract payment.

Perhaps we should be paying the rest of the world too, but what if there's a disagreement about how much a resource is worth? And remember, this is all money that could be invested in solar panels, or carbon capture, or countless other things.

I was about to say "you know that the median mobile-device user has one third-party app installed, right?" but then I thought better and Googled it first. This used to be true, but the stat is far out-of-date; nowadays the median mobile-device user has 40-to-80 apps!

I'm kind of shocked how much user behavior has changed, honestly.

Intriguing, but not a price point that many people will be willing to pay just to try it out. Even with a 30 day return policy, the 10% return fee isn't an ideal experience if it doesn't work for me.

A way to get a live demo before buying would be a good thing.
Isn't the problem that, yes, they're below average now (because we're not at the end of the year yet), but they shouldn't be so high at this time of the year, and the peak should come much later (I think August to October)? (I'm no expert on this!)

Don't get me wrong, I think it's shitty that because of history, the US and the UK (I'm from the UK) got a headstart and polluted all they wanted. But the fact of the matter is, we know far more about the climate now, and such pollution simply can't happen now. I'd really like to see Western countries providing more funding for economic development in other countries, contributing to more green technologies etc, since a lot of their/our gains were by chance that we could pollute all we wanted 200 years ago. And not abusing globalisation and shitting on countries that don't fall for "free trade" which turns them in to low wage workers whilst the West enjoys the fruits of their labour.

The thing is, when it comes to the environment, it affects everyone.
I don't feel that assumption is warranted, but I'm not surprised that someone else does. For myself, I definitely prefer some political orders to others.

Even so, I recognize that some authoritarian polities produce better lives for many of their subjects than some less authoritarian polities do. There's always room for improvement. A situation in which husbands don't beat wives because the people are educated in humane fashion is strictly superior, in my estimation, to one in which husbands don't beat wives because that would invite devastating punishment from the state. Even that latter situation is strictly superior to one in which husbands do beat wives and the state reserves its devastating punishments for other purposes.

However, that is not to say that the society blessed by humane education should make war on either of the other two, or on some society like our own in USA that is in some sense an average of all three. Humane culture is best spread by example, not by the sword.
It’s obviously a reaction to recent fire “alarms” in media but the statistics doesn’t say that this is somehow natural or normal. It’s simply been just as bad for many years.

> We find this passage from Shoshana Zuboff’s The Age of Surveillance Capitalism to be apt:
“Demanding privacy from surveillance capitalists or lobbying for an end to commercial surveillance on the internet is like asking old Henry Ford to make each Model T by hand. It’s like asking a giraffe to shorten its neck, or a cow to give up chewing. These demands are existential threats that violate the basic mechanisms of the entity’s survival.”

This quote is hilarious, but if, as the article suggests, privacy-invading, tracking-based ads aren't much better than content and region-based ads, presumably advertising companies like Google could abandon it and still provide similar value to their customers.

It might even save time, resources, and money since they wouldn't need to put as much effort into tracking.

Then I don't see the issue of why we can't calculate like the parent said to figure out how many houses don't have service. If we know how many houses there are and the ISPs know the homes they serve, then you can figure out the difference.
I've come to the conclusion that in most languages we refer to as object oriented today, we probably shouldn't use inheritance at all. In Smalltalk it was a way to make generic behavior available to all objects. The prototype chain in Self was the for the same reason.

If you're writing a language that doesn't expose that machinery (which lets you reprogram the runtime), I've found that inheritance is usually a poor choice. Yes, Python programmers, I'm saying that you should never use inheritance unless you're doing metaclass programming.

Whoa, this is actually cool stuff.
Implementation inheritance does more than break encapsulation. It creates inherent fragility because of how it makes code defined in a base class dependent on behavior that may be overridden willy-nilly in a derived class; the possibility of overriding means that the whole bundle of public and protected methods/fields is essentially part of an object's external interface, due to its open extensibility - with method implementations typically calling through that same interface. This is far worse than what you would get with a plain old non-OOP program, even one that doesn't use encapsulation at all! In most cases, implementation inheritance can be treated as simply a bad idea that should be avoided altogether - composition is clearly the better approach.

> You don't have a right to access this network, nor do you have a right to force someone to join this network.

While I am a hypocrite to suggest this, your statement does come off "god-like" (because I am also doing that here). They are stating a widely held belief that many people agree with.

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

> If your "human rights" can be negated by the power going out, they are quite weak.

If that's the case then ALL human rights are "quite weak" - whether it is the power going out or a bullet in a brain - effectively all human rights are terminatable. I don't know why suggesting a human right and someone's ability to "negate" it would be related concepts.

Also, I don't think anyone said anything about forcing someone onto this network.
Not sure about how it actually works. I couldn't find the information around how you actually 'give' internet to people? Do they use their own device, or do you provide a device as well? What happens when the funding for someone runs out?
If the morphology hypothesis (of the above paper) is more or less true, then it would indicate it is possible to detect the ink signal if the resolution of the CT scan is roughly at least as small as the thickness of the ink layer on the papyrus surface. We have measured this on some proxy manuscripts made in the lab to be on the order of 5 microns. So if you can scan an entire scroll at that resolution, in theory the data is all there.

The micro-CT machines currently available are either optimized for smaller object sizes or for lower resolutions. The challenge is to build a machine that can scan a "large" object such as an entire scroll at a high resolution. The above comment is saying that you could design and build such a machine using components currently available (expensive, but possible).

That's not the sole obstacle though, next you have to extract the information you want (visible text) from the resulting data. There are some more challenges here yet to be solved, notably segmenting out the individual layers from each other. This is particularly hard with the Herculaneum scrolls, as there are often hundreds of layers all smashed together, and they are wrinkled and warped. But we're working on this too!

Edit: as for the contents, it could be just about anything from the time period. Many of these scrolls have been opened manually over the last two hundred years since their discovery. This has largely destroyed them into thousands of fragments, but in many cases has revealed some text, so we know some of the contents of the library. Much of it is by Philodemus, who was an Epicurean philosopher but not particularly notable. It is believed that there could be more scrolls from other sections of the library still buried, as much of the town is not excavated. If it is shown that we can indeed read the contents noninvasively, it might be an incentive to dig up more of them and see what is there.

Ah great example, thanks for summarizing. I haven't been following BYND. 4% is a pretty small percentage compared to the amount of float (~91% right now). I wonder if the price would have moved that much if that many shares had been sold unofficially.

But yeah, if you sell integer percentages of a company in a short timeframe, you're right that you can't expect to get the current market price. I'm surprised that it moved it so much in this case, though.

I was mugged multiple time in the u-district in the 90s. The ave in general is far less sketchy than it used to be.

Ballard is much worse. It's gone from an enclave of retired scandy fishermen to hip neighborhood with a thriving walkable main drag. Because much of the street parking is still free the homeless living out of barely functional vans and rvs can live without hassle and attempt to panhandle on the drag. I imagine that at least some of those vehicles are also essentially drug emporiums further concentrating the homeless population that is hooked. ... Still not as sketchy as the u-district in the 90s though.

R uses a generic function, multiple dispatch object system modeled on CLOS, so, yes, it's a lot like R. I found CLOS a bit less obscure to work with, but I never really took the time to dig to the bottom of R and tunnel back up.
Yes, but if you go to another part of India you'll also be served a differently prepared dish, it will never be exactly "just like home". It's not just in India, every cuisine has regional variations, say in Italia there's a big difference in specialties between say Campania and Veneto. So how come that is OK, but emigrants have to make the food just like your mom makes or it's called fake?
