Wrong. It means you get 1/4 the resistive loss (in the wires) for the same power. So you can pass 4 times the power over the same wires if you want.

If the US eliminated sugar tariffs and corn subsidies, we’d have far less high fructose corn syrup in our diet overnight. They’d also need to stop strong arming public schools into serving all this low fat no taste nonsense. Government intervention got us in this mess, even more regulation by incompetent (or worse, competent) bureaucrats won’t get us out.

Not legally.

It's kind of like how just because you have a pair of scissors it doesn't mean you are entitled to cut people's hair (without a stylist license). Or how just because you own a scalpel you aren't allowed to practice medicine (without a medical license). The government has determined that these behaviors need to be regulated. Perhaps you agree about regulating the surgery but don't agree about regulating haircuts... that's a matter for the political process.

In a similar fashion, Congress has passed laws on copyright that specifically say that if you own a copy of a work you can do anything you want with that copy, but you cannot make a new copy in a different form. This made sense when "a copy" meant a physical book, but that law isn't necessarily worded in a way that makes sense for electronic documents. I am old enough to remember when people tried suing over web servers, because when the browser received the file it made a local "copy" of the document in memory (without a license). The courts eventually settled on an interpretation that roughly said "ephemeral copies made during the process of delivering the work don't count as 'making a copy'". But they also settled on an interpretation that said "changing the medium -- like going between text and audio -- does count as making a copy".

So text-to-speech (or speech-to-text) converters are illegal; or, more precisely, using them on any copyrighted work (which is just about every work) is illegal without the permission of the copyright owner. Maybe not the best law for today's modern world, but it's the law we have and entrenched power groups would resist any attempt to change it.
You idiots are discussing about how to amputate the arms of the zoo visitors that want to pet the alligators, instead of realizing that maybe people shouldn't be able to reach those animals.

Copyright laws are immoral, and shouldn't exist. That's it. Anything else is negotiating with terrorists.

>English doesn't do that—instead, it goes with the foreign spelling first

It only does that with accented letters that are otherwise shared in a common alphabet and then only sometimes.

In your desire for a rule that you like, you are insisting that English is following another rule that you do not like, when in reality it is actually much less simple. English has conventions within contexts, but is more or less allergic to to hard and fast rules.

My favourite quote on this is by the writer James Nicoll.

>“English doesn’t borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.”
This is understood. That's why the featured author felt a need for the minority opinion to be expressed. There's a general point that needs support, perhaps.

Your criticizm in the end is ad-hominem. As far as the body of the critique is directed at the content instead, without adressing it explicitly, then perhaps because the TFA made an ad-hominem via proxy, without resorting to the meta-level to that you have taken it.

The argument rests on the fact that e.g. a news-paper article would barely invite not just readers' letters but whole discussions. It's rather quaint and not all that hyper. Thus it is kind of ironic and almost self-defeating for the article to be published online (online first I guess). As I have said, the trend is obvious and needs no defense.
Not just Putin's. There was only one time in my lifetime when nobody knew who would win the election. That was the 1996 election which was largely won by Yeltsin by hiring a bunch of consultants from the US to run it (and I also suspect that his campaign was at least in part financed by the US as well - his opponent was Gennady Zyuganov, a communist). Other than that I don't recall any even somewhat democratic elections at all. Needless to say, there weren't any real elections in the USSR either. Nor under Czar before that. It's a long, established tradition.
In the US they use flavorings derived from milk and wheat.
> Everything else has swapped sugar for sweeteners, which for those of us who find their taste foul has been an unpleasant reduction in choice.

A few years ago, I adjusted my diet to have a lower carb percentage, but (1) Pepsi was my favorite drink, with Dr. Pepper as a close second, and (2) I could not stand the diet versions of Pepsi or Dr. Pepper.

By doing some contortions I was able to arrange things to keep having Pepsi or Dr. Pepper while still meeting my overall carb goals, but it was annoying as those drinks were pretty much using up all of my carb allowance.

So I took another look at Diet Pepsi, which had a couple different kinds available with different sweeteners, and Diet Dr. Pepper. Still terrible, but I could power through and choke down a few sips with a meal.

I know a lot of people don't like coffee or beer when they first try them, but are told that they will learn to like them if they keep drinking them, and they do so to fit in...and in fact do come to like those drinks.

So I kept choking down Diet Dr. Pepper or Diet Pepsi in small amounts with my meals...and after a week or so, found that I actually had come to like them!

I'm tempted to try a Tab now, to see how far the "learn to like" phenomenon can be pushed, but I'm still waiting for the bizarre aftertaste from that Tab I tried in the late '60s to fully fade, so am somewhat afraid to do any further experiments.

Anyway, my point is that if you just tried the non-sugary stuff once and gave up because of the foul taste, it might be worth trying a few more times. You may be able to learn to like it, and so restore somewhat variety to your carbonated drink options.
Mmm. In the UK McD has like, some sort of weird vegetable pattie nonsense going on.

Belgium does, in fact, not have electric heating in most houses. The most popular heate sources are gas and oil (diesel, often incorrectly referred to as mazout). Electricity is very expensive in Belgium.

Air source electric heat pumps are on the rise, but it'll be decades before they catch up to gas.
I mean, where are you comparing to? Anecdotally, in Sweden, I have a friend who used to work for a huge slaughterhouse/meat distributor (pardon me if there is a better term). According to him, the beef that was sold to McDonalds was only high quality. This was around ten years ago, mind you.

> "Note that GlobalFoundries said it wants to stop the import of processors made with the technologies it believes are covered by its patents. The company recognized that TSMC doesn't usually import those processors into the U.S. or Germany; TSMC's customers do. That means the lawsuits could affect much of the tech industry: TSMC said that in 2018 it was "manufacturing 10,436 different products using 261 distinct technologies for 481 different customers."

The list of companies supplied by TSMC includes AMD, Nvidia, Apple, Mediatek and many others, which means that GlobalFoundries could bring the tech industry to a halt if it's allowed to stop imports to the U.S. and Germany."

Ground meat is almost certainly the lowest bar for substituting. I'd argue the artificial meat is already pretty close (although probably at a higher cost, at least at the low end). There are probably gourmet burgers that are still better--though high-end meat cuts are at least somewhat of a waste in a burger.

Somewhat amusingly, I first had an Impossible Burger not knowing that it was not real "meat." I didn't find out until a few months later. It tasted like a perfectly good burger to me.

[ADDED: Lab-grown is apparently more accurately used to specifically refer to food made from animal cells. I guess "plant-based" meat is the more common term with "meat" distinguishing from traditional vegi-burgers in the grocery freezer.]
Add experimentation, canarying, rollbacks and monitoring (any metrics relevant) and you have a winner.
I'm preparing a large dinner for an organisation at the moment and decided that we'd make the menu vegan/vegetarian (we use a wonderful Italian caterer, so flavour isn't going to be missed). When I mentioned it to some omnivore colleagues, they asked why and I shrugged and said "the Amazon is burning". They shrugged back and said, makes sense. It's not many years since I would have expected complaints at not catering a meat option. I feel progress is being made.

I was balking at $15 (for a static site) until I re-read and got /y right. Who offers that?
I've invested money in a local butcher in Chicago and source pretty much all of my protein from another one closer to me. I'm familiar with the locavore argument and agree that the quality is higher. There are still higher levels of quality to be reached by sourcing heritage birds, and you can optimize for flavor even more by sourcing game birds. Where do you draw the line? I'd rather eat a local farm chicken than a Tyson breast, just like I'd rather eat a dry-aged ribeye than a wet-packed eye of round. That doesn't make the eye of round somehow inedible or "barely meat".

Even if the environmental impact is nil, I'm fine with the reduction in suffering imposed on tens of billions of animals a year. The scale of suffering created by the meat industry is unfathomable so I think this is a step in the right direction regardless.
As I said, inequality is up hence the lower portion of GDP going to labor. Overall, labor is making more than they were before though.
> My answer to by-copy versus by-borrow for small Rust structs is by-copy

The author is making the case for special treatment of structs for a special case. For a performance gain that's probably below the margin of error. This is negating the elegance and consistency of rust for a special case. I think the author thinks too much in C++ terms and is sort of missing the point of Rust (or at least one point of rust).
No plans for x86 at this time. What application do you have in mind, and what OS would it be running? In our experience even embedded linux projects run on ARM these days.
> I just happen to live in a city where this is quite common - whole streets where every house with multiple apartments has electric heating (overall not a majority by any means but still common). I was contrasting with other countries where this is not only uncommon, it's basically completely non-existing.

You extrapolated from "common in my city" to "common in my country", and a fairly large one at that. That isn't contrasting anything; its just plain wrong.
Could you tell me where exactly?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the US heavily subsidize meat costs?
The supply chain on meat is pretty extensive. Modern animal farming is basically an industrial process that happens to use flesh-and-blood as host organisms for meat.
Is making your own an option in the UK? I have a few friends in the US that love it, but I think you need easy service for the canisters. More effort to be sure, but at least then you can use whatever syrup you like.
Unless I missed it in TFA, it doesn't say that the raw materials (the meat) are more expensive but rather that the product is more expensive. If a fast food chain can charge more for cheaper materials, that's a double win for them.

Polynomial Time Algorithm for Integer Factorization
Respectfully, there are faith communities that hold any number of views without regard to their consistency with founding documents or traditions of teachings. I heartily recommend that for anyone who is genuinely seeking spiritual guidance to avoid religious establishments that do not challenge present cultural norms and mores.

However, it is very unlikely that a church is going to keep someone out, especially a non-believer, because of their views on abortion. Church attendance is generally open to everyone. It is participation in the sacraments (baptism, communion, etc.) and leadership that often requires doctrinal commitments.
Employers don't only check your credit history, they check your background history using 3rd party verifying services (HireRight, Sterling, etc), which usually include credit checks.
It's not really one of those cases though. Electric cars were all but dead. They were considered a joke ("golf carts") until Telsa challenged the status quo and changed the industry. Many seem to have already forgotten this.
The ones I'm most familiar with are: Acxiom, Datalogix, DataSift, Equifax, Full Contact, and Experian. There's always Twitter as well but they are mostly abstracted data and you can't just waltz in and get their firehose.

Most of these are pay to play. IIRC, when Facebook was creating their ads platform in like 06' or 07', they did a deep partnership with DataLogix where DL was effectively powering their targeting/user classification. That's largely why you still see dumb ad classifications (eg. Farmers vs. Non-Farmers) in the FB ads platform. DataLogix started out as a CPG play since they powered the "put your phone number in for groceries" platform that everyone used in the mid 2000's. They then started doing tons of data aggregations and purchased a whole bunch. DL become way more powerful when they were bought by Oracle in 14' since they could do identity resolution across their cloud. Eg. when you go buy a car, you are likely using the Oracle Auto suite which includes credit checks.
What factors are causing that rise? More people living at home? More roommates to lower enormous housing costs?
I suppose the moral question here is, how much do you trust your employer (or country) to use your code only for good? If you're guiding missiles, I think you're naive to think you'll never guide missiles into innocent people.

If you're working on Facebook, the question is whether you trust Zuckerberg's moral leadership. It was plausible to be unsure in the past, but at this point, you know he's going to do something unethical and post another "sorry-not-sorry" message online when he gets caught. You know your code will be misused, and that's on you now.
Probably "learnt" vs "learned".
Czechs and Slovaks assimilate English (and other) words using native spelling when those words pass into comon use.

For example: víkend (weekend), hemendex (ham and eggs), anketa (enquête: questionnaire, poll, ...).

Proper names are not treated this way: Charlie Chaplin, New York, ...

Japanese words and names receive their own Czech and Slovak style romanization, e.g. džómon džidai (縄文時代: joumon jidai: joumon period , 14000-300 BCE). Curiously, the letter "w" (a letter not used in these languages) is used, e.g. Kanagawa.

> How successful was Obama's digital campaign? From what sources are we deriving that conclusion?

I'd agree that it may have been overblown (just like the Russian interference may have been overblown). Also, of course the marketeers ran with it and turned it into a sales pitch.

But that detracts just a little from the effectiveness of Obama's digital campaign. As it was the first of its kind, relative to other campaigns that lacked a modern digital strategy, it gave a significant edge. Your argument seems of the form: "Hercules is strong. Some say he is really really strong. Ergo, Hercules was not strong".

2008: > The key technological innovation that brought Barack Obama to the White House wasn’t his tweets or a smartphone app. It was the Obama campaign’s novel integration of e-mail, cell phones, and websites. The young, technology-savvy staffers didn’t just use the web to convey the candidate’s message; they also enabled supporters to connect and self-organize, pioneering the ways grassroots movements would adapt and adopt platforms in the campaign cycles to come.

> but a network of supporters who used a distributed model of phone banking to organize and get out the vote, helped raise a record-breaking $600 million, and created all manner of media clips that were viewed millions of times. It was an online movement that begot offline behavior, including producing youth voter turnout that may have supplied the margin of victory.

> All of the Obama supporters who traded their personal information for a ticket to a rally or an e-mail alert about the vice presidential choice, or opted in on Facebook or MyBarackObama can now be mass e-mailed at a cost of close to zero.

2012: > Once again, the Obama campaign built a dream team of nerds to create the software that drove many aspects of the campaign. From messaging to fund-­raising to canvassing to organizing to targeting resources to key districts and media buys, the reelection effort took the political application of data science to unprecedented heights. The Obama team created sophisticated analytic models that personalized social and e-mail messaging using data generated by social-media activity.

> The Republican side, too, tried to create smarter tools, but it botched them. The Romney campaign’s “Orca,” a platform for marshaling volunteers to get out the vote on election day, suffered severe technical problems, becoming a cautionary tale of how not to manage a large IT project. For the moment, the technology gap between Democrats and Republicans remained wide.
