Show me a state that wants this type of sex on public TV at 9pm? Many think the public decency laws are outdated, but see little point in fighting them since going on the internet is perfectly legal for anything you want to see.

> like you can in europe

Europe is not an homogeneous place. Some parts of Europe are just as if not more conservative than the most conservative parts of the US. Europe in fact proves my point if we think of Europe (the EU) as a collection of nation states each with their own local laws. BTW, where in Europe is full penetration shown on a public TV at 9pm?

They don't, they just get a lot larger budgets thanks to wealthy parents. In some states, they also get state funding on top of that.

I'm not sure if it's still the case now, but there was a time when public funding for schools in Arizona would transfer to a charter school with a student, but if a student left, the funding would not transfer back to the public school system. So the money flowed one way and simply acted to drain funding from public schools.
I agree, but I’m really curious if this is just because the commonly used compilers & libraries aren’t particularly optimised for ppc64le (which is a guess) or whether the hardware itself cannot match the equivalent Xeon and Ryzen offerings

Democracy cannot be bought with money, so any corporation selling out a people's right to self determination for money is pure immorality.

All of us who enjoy the self rule through democracy should not dismiss our hard won rights as an "opinion". The right to vote for your leader, even a "wrong leader" is an inalienable right. Oppressive regimes like China have do not have the mandate to rule. The mandate to rule comes from the people, and single part China is nothing more than the party of warlords.

Yes the flashpoint is Hong Kong, but all Chinese people deserve democratic elections. Hong Kong just happens to already be legally owed these rights. The rights all humans deserve.

This is not a controversial "opinion", this is the foundation upon which all modern democracies are formed. All humans deserve the right of self rule, and authority comes from the people.

Many of you reading this get to say your forefathers fought for democracy. I wish I could say that, my forefathers were on the wrong side of the fight for democracy. My grand father got shot near Normandy, he was a 14 year old Nazi soldier standing watch. He was wrong to fight for the Nazis, just as any of us are wrong if we sell out another people's rights to democracy.

They beat themselves, which was understandable back in the day but that's a popular narrative to this day. If a school kid with random scripts or untargeted ransomware gets into a system I put far more blame on the process that prevented them from being patched than said kid.

This certainly is an interesting alternate reality exercise. If US didn't participate, would it become a military superpower? Would Korea/Vietnam/middle east wars/... happen? What would USSR do? Would there be a nuclear race? Would Nazis be able to control most of Europe, long term? Or would they self-destruct with their megalomaniacal desire to expand their reich?

I guess I'm glad US did participate, because I wouldn't be sitting here otherwise. :) Hard to argue against something that resulted in me existing.

Anyway, whether something is justifiable is subjective. Millions of people who died from US actions during WWII and millions who were killed by US after the WWII may have had a different opinion. To the dead, who the executioner was doesn't really matter after all.

It's also probably good to compare what happened, instead of what might have happened, because that is unknowable.

Nazis killed millions and had a disgusting ideology. US killed millions too, and one has to wonder what their ideology was or how important it was if they decided to kill hunderds of thousands of civilians just to show their new found military power, without even thinking about the victims (at least some National Geographic documentary I've seen recently mentioned that there were no indications in archives/diaries that anyone involved in decision making mentioned civilian lives that would be destroyed, while dropping the atomic bombs). How about millions of destroyed lives in the fight to "stop the reds"?
> The idea is that as you add complexity to a problem, the difficulty goes up exponentially. So being much smarter has no significant impact.

Depends. If a future AI wants to make a civilisation that spans our own entire Solar System then it would have to tackle much more -- in number and complexity -- logistical, religious, political and what-have-you problems. So it might be too much for it as certain problems here on Earth are for us the humans.

However, if we postulate a self-aware AI who is Earth-bound and is having more processing power than a single human brain and has much more efficient algorithms than our own then it really easy follows that this AI would be much much better than us in solving our Earth-bound problems. Like in economy: more income and same expenses equal bigger profit.

> If intelligence as we know it could ramp up to generally solve all problems, then surely evolution would keep increasing it and we'd all be gods or at least Einsteins by now?

Well, we are limited by the physical size of our brains being able to squeeze out of our mother's hips during birth. Same way a future AI would, at least initially, be limited by the available hardware on which it can run, how much power it can consume and if its heat dissipation won't become too much.

However, an AI wouldn't grow in a natural environment, namely where natural limits would hamper an infinite growth. IMO if a private well-funded lab -- or the military -- invest heavily in such an AI they would just keep throwing hardware at it until it becomes efficient enough to be compared to a human and above. From that point on it is very likely it would become smart and proficient enough to optimise itself and start solving age-old problems we never were able to solve so far.

This, to me at least, is the so-called singularity point, in less extreme terms compared to its official meaning. Namely an entity that can optimise itself and achieve engineering perfection much better than what we can do.

Not really a real-world app, but a simple QtQuick with Qt3d app worked pretty well. When it comes to app sizes, a vanilla Qt app produces an apk file of ~15MB, which is reasonable.

I had troubles accessing external storage (the SD-card), and ended up writing quite some ifdefs to fix that. Probably the kdab folks have proper solutions to most common issues, but at the end of the day the idioms between desktop apps and mobile apps are quite different, and you will end up wasting time to fix those issues if you really believe in having a single code base for cross-platform apps.

It provides competition. The charter schools must attract students to apply as they get a certain dollar amount per student, and that amount is a fraction of what public schools receive per student. Even with this funding handicap, the education is so overwhelmingly better in that at least in my area all but the worst of charter schools have a lottery system for admission and a long waiting list.

> What do they actually want from the deal?

The conventional wisdom is that the party is split between Remainers and Leavers, and that Corbyn himself is a closet Leaver who wants to leave so he can get out from under EU rules on state aid and bring about a glorious socialist revolution.

If this is remotely true, then Corbyn's personal aim is to help the Tories to a no-deal Brexit, or even a hard Brexit under the WA, but in such a way that Labour does not get the blame. However, much of the party wants a soft Brexit or Remain so he cannot be seen to be doing this.

Hence why he does not want, and never has wanted, to obtain Government until Brexit has been sorted (badly) by the Tories, and to come along and pick up the pieces. The entire Labour strategy has been to completely disassociate themselves from Brexit and this latest non-proposal is just a continuation of that.

> What is the party's true desired outcome, being in the EU or not being in the EU?

In short, they do not know and are split. The only thing they agree on is not being blamed for either Remain, soft Leave, or hard Leave. And whoever is in power when the final decision is made most certainly will get blame for any decision taken.

Feed barley also yields almost 2X that milling wheat does on dryland Canadian prairie, so switching species rather than variants doesn't change the argument.

And if you want to use calories instead of grams of protein, be my guest. It'll just help my argument. Chickens eat unhulled barley; the hull is almost half the weight of the kernel. Humans eat hulled barley and still a good chunk of its calories are indigestible fiber. That may help your digestive system but you're not extracting any energy from it.
Emacs: Python Editor?
The parent comment complained about operating schools like prisons. Charters can't assume attendance, so they often perform better from the perspective of standardized testing and student approval.

Charters tend to do better because of the crushing regulation and lack of meaningful accountability of the public schools (if you're British: what you'd call state schools).

Some people are under the mistaken impression that charters perform better due to larger budgets, but typically the well-performing ones cost the state less than state schools, and cost the parents nothing.

1) Bleaching in corals is not one disease. They are (at least) five different types associated to four different genuses of bacteria. All of them could be symptoms of another problem instead the real causes, as seen in research done in Oculina, the other ubiquitous species from Mediterranean Sea with Cladocora (see Ainsworth et al 2008).

And there are other kinds of necrosis caused by viruses, echinoderms and polychaetes.

That some species of corals at least can recover relatively fast after bleaching is know since... dunno, but probably since 80's at least. A bibliographic search should find early documents about it. Other species never bleach and other just die (Levas et al 2018)

2) The real juicy question to answer there, is not if corals bleach and recover, we knew that they do it since decades even if was not reported for Cladocora. The question is what corals bleach and what corals recover, in my not so humble opinion.

"but she preferred paying the accountant"

Why?

At the extreme, would she have preferred to pay 100% to accountants rather than the government?

If everyone took that view, who would pay for the schools and roads etc? I suppose that wouldn't happen, the tax rate would be increased, so everyone's paying tax and a massive accountants bill, so really the rational move is to pay the tax.
