Reminds me of the story of how Porsche wanted to name their car '901', but Peugeot had (has?) a trademark on the three number combination with a zero in the middle. So Porsche had to rename their car to '911'. The rest is history as they say.

The goal of the tariffs is to improve the bargaining position of America in getting better trade deals with China... not to move manufacturing back to the US.

That might be what’s fed to the average Joe the plumber Trump supporter but common sense easily precludes that motivation. To actually move manufacturing back you’d have to tariff every country with a lower cost of living than the US, and that’s most of the world. You’d have to massively reduce consumption in the US since such a policy will greatly redistribute wealth to domestic the physical laborer. And in the long term, because of the unsustainable labor costs here eventually automation and robotics R&D will catch up to destroy those jobs anyways.

> At the same time, higher prices of garlic — they soared 53% — actually illustrate tariffs working as intended.

> China had been the biggest exporter of garlic to the U.S. and domestic garlic growers have long argued they were being undercut by cheaper Chinese competition. Now that Chinese garlic faces higher tariffs, domestic companies can charge higher prices.

Domestic companies being able to charge higher prices was not the goal of tariffs. Labor is cheaper in other Asian countries, and that also results in their being able to undercut America producers. However, the trade war is against China and not low labor cost countries like Vietnam and Malaysia.

I've noticed the same thing with arch pain on flats. However, when I started pushing from the middle of the foot, rather than the ball of the foot, that arch pain went away. The problem then that is that then I don't think I was able to extend my foot all the way through the down stroke. However, all that means is that I probably should be using shorter crank length with flats (as opposed to clips or clipless).

I've sort of become convinced that with the right bike fit, crank length, foot position, and good pedals, there's probably not really any meaningful difference between the pedal options overall. I don't mean that to denigrate anything, just that they all probably will work well depending on the person, and I don't know that moving to clipless needs to be a rite of passage for anyone necessarily.

Wasn’t much of this covered by the whole Semantic Web effort? They built a ton of stuff for self-describing data (RDF) that federated over multiple hosts by default (SPARQL), provided meaningful names (URIs everywhere) and multiple tools for giving all this semantic meaning (OWL, RDFS).

It stalled for many many reasons, including:

- XML is kind of awful

- Over-general solution without clear advantages for a specific use case

- Mis-aligned incentives

- easy to abuse open query capabilities

- Hard to use for both data publishers and consumers

I think that JSON Schema with incremental enhancement via JSON-LD is a more promising tech stack for another try. That would let you take advantage of the massive investments in the current API ecosystem while carrying forward the best parts of the old Semantic Web Effort.

Of course the incentives are still hard to sort out. Commercial entities WANT lock-in. They will Embrace/Extend/Extinguish anything they can because they need a moat to make money. Honestly anti-trust regulations might be needed.

>I think copying and pasting could be justified as "evaluating".

Infinitely copying and pasting is justified to encode the state, but not to encode the transition function, as is the case here to emulate loops. To encode an infinite loop would require an infinitely long SVG, but a Turing machine requires that the transition function be finitely encoded.

As someone on the GitHub commented, "If you can not construct an SVG that never halts (finishes drawing) SVG can not be turing complete."
https://github.com/tom-p-reichel/svg-is-turing-complete/issu...

Edit: more explicitly, for each state, the user has to manually add the line

<use href="#line[n - 1]" y="30" id="line[n]" filter="url(#rule110)"/>

manually updating n themselves each time. This means that the transition function is "encoded" by the human, not the SVG code itself.

Alberta has about 30% as much installed wind power generating capacity as Ontario, and about 30% as much population.

Alberta is also better positioned for solar PV [0], and has more capacity (in absolute terms) coming online in each of the next three years than Ontario, and possibly as much or more installed already (hard to find good numbers), despite being only 30% the population.

I'll throw my own anecdote into the ring here. As a person who's been on ADHD meds for 20+ years I've noticed that although tolerance does build up, it doesn't build up to the point that medication is ineffective, just less effective. Also, fairly short periods of no medication (a few days) can go a long way towards resetting tolerance to a meaningful degree. Despite being on these medications for decades, being on or off them continues to be huge factory in my day-to-day ability to execute tasks of any kind.

I've found in their effort not to "sit in the pockets of the industry" they're bias has shifted too far to the other side where they too quick to pass judgement. Combined with their inflammatory tones, it creates a feeling reminiscent of those armchair critics that claim everything is shit while failing to appreciate the detail of the problem.

One nice thing about trains is that you don't need to just sit: there is a lot of room to move about. Also, the trains you use on the Trans-Siberian route stop all the time, often for half an hour or longer at a time, so you can get off the train for some proper exercise. Still, I would not recommend doing the trip on one go: 24 hours is just about long enough stretch to spend onboard any train. There are a lot of cities worth visiting along the way.

Thank you for the insight; this makes a lot of sense to me.
People who live in Taiwan are ethnically Chinese and speak Chinese and consider themselves Chinese, and the Taiwanese government considers itself the legitimate government of China (or at least used to until fairly recently). I would say that it is fair to call them Chinese, even if they are not part of the PRC.

The IPCC’s fourth assessment report in 2007 contained the erroneous prediction that all Himalayan glaciers would be gone by 2035.

I also have friends who work there - one in particular who has released a suite of his own creative music-making tools, which are quite popular .. and over the years I've tried to spy his influence on the Ableton product line - its there, but very subtle. It seems they've allowed him to continue his side projects (wouldn't have been easy to have shut them down, as they are quite popular) while also giving him a small piece of the Ableton product line to improve.

Fiat currency is one of the reasons society has had a lot more stability in the value of money in comparison to any other time in the past. Currencies tied to commodities such as gold, silver, etc have always been more volatile due to supply oscillation, business cycles and periodic bursts of 'pocket' recessions.
Of course they would. Lots of people made loads of money the last time, and no one went to prison. Seems like an obvious thing to try if you're a smart and low-empathy person.

Let's just clarify - American citizens lost $12.8Bn. [0] That money didn't evaporate, it got funneled back into many of the banks and auto manufacturers as a hand out. Some banks that took risk had little to no downside and we know that there were a continuation of bonus payouts to executives by banks that took bailout trailing the debacle.

But the general design class is the same, it even confused the Saudis it was the same rocket. I guess I was trying to say is if it was designed from scratch with a piston engine it would look very different. But because there were already similar designs and models they had access to, it made sense to stick with that same general class of rockets.
Because there is no other API. The DOM is the API. If you only know jQuery, you're shooting yourself in the foot because you can't do anything more advanced than class swizzling. You have to learn the DOM to use the web well, might as well use it directly instead of through a pair of boxing gloves.

Also, I don't actually find jQuery to be nicer. It wraps its nodes in its own objects, but then you end up getting native DOM elements passed to you up anyway. It's an extremely leaky abstraction to the point that it is not nicer. As I said, if you think "document.querySelector" is a mouthful, just alias it and be done.
