You're not bound until you have had the opportunity to review the TOS. Meaning that merely accessing a page from somewhere else (i.e., a link or url) isn't enough--but once you're on (or revisiting) their website, if you interact with it in any matter beyond visiting the TOS page the TOS would apply even if you chose not to read it.
Here's the Nets owner's response, which adds a little more color to this already contentious issue.[0][1]

I don't see a way for the NBA to come out ahead on this. Chinese investment already drives a lot of business decisions for the League, and I doubt that a civics lesson for fans and players about Chinese territorial sovereignty is going to do anything to lower the temperature. Tsai's statement comes across as particularly caustic - making an implication that Morey's tweets call into question that territorial sovereignty in the same way that e.g. Japanese invasion did. As a sports fan, it's tough to remain objective here. On the one hand, Hong Kong will integrate - baring some major geopolitical course corrections, and probably a war. On the other, it's a little disturbing to see US sports figures - who otherwise are generally untouchable, for the most part - bend over backwards to make sure they don't sufficiently enrage China (looks like it's too late) over some tweets by a GM who is pretty well liked in the League.

As a meta point, I figure this is only the beginning and we'll continue to see China flex it's financial and population muscle abroad in ways that may seem hard to predict in advance, but are pretty obvious once they happen.

I would think expensive would be in terms of the cost of other transport options. A car is very very expensive when compared to public transport, cycling, motorbikes, walking.

Other than air travel, a car is probably the most expensive transport option there is.

I tell myself that often as well. Just had my second child. And remember telling myself, after having my first son, at a moment when I was seriously doubting my ability to care for a child, in a sleep derived, frustrated, scared close-to-panicing state: ”most people, many of which where a lot less able, have gotten through this, surely I will too”.

1. I'm not sure how this has anything to do with your claim that PROC is improperly coercing the world into saying that black is white, by putting a gun to their heads. (And I still don't understand how it squares with the reality that the ROC is trying its best to do the same thing.)

2. Is Taiwan a distinct nation, or is it part of the Chinese Nation?

Both the PROC and the ROC currently seem to think that it is the latter. Most of the world agrees with them.

(Bonus points: Is Catalonia a country? What about Cascadia? What about Transnistria, and South Ossetia? What about Crimea? By your definition, it seems to quite clearly be part of Russia... Be careful where you express that viewpoint, though, it's not one shared by most of the world's governments, or most Ukranians...)
Wow that’s very interesting. Thank you for linking that.

De Jure nationhood is a stupid game that ignores facts on the ground in favor of politicians vision. It is predicated on a fallacy that "legitimacy" is a vital resource and that those already in the nation club have a monopoly on it. At this point calling groups "countries" and calling other groups "terrorists" is better understood as the geopolitical equivalent of a curse word and/or a propaganda trope.

-Order of Malta. De Jure recognition, no territory or population to speak of. Basically a forgotten joke country left over from a bygone era.

-Trasnistaria. Has population, land, flag, collects taxes. Only recognized by Russia. There's a few Russian backed puppets like this, I won't name them all.

-Taiwan. Already discussed.

-Hong Kong. Mainland Chinese media calls the protestors terrorists. Yet another example of "terrorist" meaning simply "whoever the establishment wants to de-legitimize". If you follow the CCP narrative, the thing they care about isn't Democracy but separatism. "One China" is about not recognizing Taiwan and HK as a matter of ethno-nationalist principal.

-Palestine. Recognized by majority of UN countries. Still not recognized by US, Israel, and associated power block. Why? Because of the stupid belief that recognition will somehow legitimate it.

-ISIS. At their peak they had a sizeable chunk of land, a flag, a capital, civic functions like a court system, an oil industry, handed out passports, were fighting a conventional land war using conventional (not terrorist/guerilla) tactics, had a uniformed army, and the word "state" was right there in the name. But don't you dare call them a state lest someone mistake you for a terrorist sympathizer.

This is why I subscribe to De Facto nationhood instead. A nation is a nation when it satisfies the following properties:

-A plot of land with well defined borders.

-A permanent population on said land.

-A Monopoly on violence over said land.

-An organization capable of credibly making peace, declaring war, and otherwise accepting agreements with other nations.

The last one is tricky as it only specifies the capability not the actualization. For example, if the organization agrees to peace but the individual factions of the army keep fighting then this condition is not satisfied and what you have is a stateless warlord situation. For another example, the ISIS situation clearly had an organization which was capable of agreeing to a surrender or appointing an ambassador, but they never wanted to or were allowed to. The condition is still satisfied even though they never did it.
It's also a similar concept to "desk accessories" from the original "System 1" Mac OS.

no, because the problem is with pronouns

theres nobody specific in the story. nobody requested a pronoun. if it was that simple then why would any of this happen? its cause this is about pronouns being a problem and people wanting to edit everything to be gender neutral to cater to the perpetually outraged

Assuming that your assumption are correct on interaction effect.

You can do a hypothesis test on that assumption while including both factors (the two features). Which will clear away any doubt with a 95% confidence or hire a statistician =).

A potential future option I only just learned about is JPEG XL (not XR!) which is proposed as a royalty-free successor to the JPEG we know. The draft is at https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.03565 and a little bit about what it has and why is at https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of... (but I haven't found nearly as much public detail on tools, reasoning behind choices, etc. as there is for e.g. AV1).

The most interesting bit of it is that it contains a JPEG1 recompressor that saves about 20% space but allows exact reconstruction of the original file. It uses more modern entropy coding and goes to more effort to predict coefficients than JPEG1. It has almost exactly the same gains as, and sounds a lot like, Dropbox's Lepton, described here: https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2016/07/lepton-image-compress... .

Seems like a big deal to plug seamlessly into all the JPEG-producing stuff that exists, without either doing a second lossy step (ick) or forking into two versions when you first compress the high-quality original. 20% off JPEG sizes is also a bigger deal than it may sound like; totally new codecs with slower encodes and a bucket of new tools only hit like ~50% of JPEG sizes. As Daala researcher Tim Terriberry once said, "JPEG is alien technology from the future." :)

For JPEG XL's native lossy compression, it has some tools reminiscent of AV1 and other recent codecs, e.g. variable-sized DCTs, an identity transform for fundamentally DCT-unfriendly content, a somewhat mysterious 4x4 "AFV" transform that's supposed to help encode diagonal lines (huh!), a post-filter to reduce ringing (that cleverly uses the quantization ranges as a constraint, like the Knusperli deblocker: https://github.com/google/knusperli ).

Interestingly it does not use spatial prediction in the style of the video codecs. A developer in a conference presentation mentioned that it's targeting relatively high qualities equivalent to ~2bpp JPEGs -- maybe spatial prediction just doesn't help as much at that level?

Don't know if AV1-based compression or JPEG XL will get wide adoption first, but either way we should actually have some substantial wins coming.

The Purple Line isn’t a “start” because it’s not going anywhere sustainable. The Purple Line will cost the same amount of money as it took Copenhagen to build a fully automated ring subway beneath beneath downtown (of a similar length). If that’s the price to build above ground light rail that isn’t even grade separated, then there is no hope going forward of new lines to middle class neighborhoods that don’t result in rapid gentrification.
Yes, I absolutely still agree. A mental illness does not absolve you of responsibility for your actions. If someone is a well-known member of some community and is in a position of power and influence, and they have a condition where they have trouble not swearing, I would think that having someone (without that condition) vet their public communications before sending them out would be a minimum logical, smart thing to do.

I think your analogy is a little bit fallacious, though. We're not talking about a verbal tic here; we're talking about actual actions that make women feel unsafe in his presence.

Put another way, I would be far far more comfortable telling someone "hey, yeah, he has a verbal tic that makes him say 'fuck' a lot; it's weird, but just ignore it" than I would be telling a woman, "hey, yeah, he's [something] and that makes him inappropriately hit on you all the time in situations where he has power over you; it's weird, but just ignore it". Yeah... nope.

Some were, plenty were not, and C is nothing special as a turning point in that.

No, insofar as it's a problem, it's a problem with the application language or libraries, in that they don't abstract sufficiently the deployment platform.

Now, if they are bundled with the OS, it may be the same product as the OS, but it's not really an OS. problem.
Or, you know, having to upgrade anyway, people might switch platforms to one which has a better track record in supporting old software.

first, yes you can call her whatever you want. its called freedom.

second, yea pronouns are different. they are actual nouns in the language used to describe people by what they are. theyre exactly the opposite of names which are completely random things you can claim

third, you know most people use pronouns that match a name and looks? so if you change gender and change your name then people are probably gonna be using the right pronoun anyway

Unicode is a lot like a dictionary, in that both things exist to allow people to work with documents that already exist, whether the tool likes it or not. Dictionaries let you understand existing texts, by defining the words in them. Unicode preserves and faithfully transmits existing texts, by defining and fixing the meanings of the codels of those texts.

Even if a dictionary didn't define a particular word, people would still use that word. You just wouldn't be able to find out what that word means from your dictionary. The word wouldn't be harmed; only the dictionary would be made less useful.

Likewise, even without an assigned codepoint for an emoji, people would still create encodings of it—in chat programs and the like. They'd just be proprietary encodings that wouldn't be able to be copied-and-pasted to other software, and would likely suffer bit-rot. (Can any program that exists today—and that runs on a modern computer—correctly parse out the emoji-like symbols from the binary transcript files of a 90s IM program like AIM or ICQ?) The emoji symbols—at least at the time—wouldn't be harmed by this (people would still use them just as often); only Unicode's goal of "one universal text encoding" would be harmed.

"The issue with CLT as a building system is exactly that -- its behavior as a whole when subjected to differing forces as statistically magnified by the great number of joints. There are a ton of connections in a CLT building. Thousands of them. One connection failure can create a cascade of failure that may destroy the building. Each connection has the fingerprints of a single worker. One bonehead can wreck a connection."

That's a non-negligible practical problem and a perfectly valid point.
