>It seems you want to start humans young in the quest to get a good taste for vegetables, because I know many adults that just can’t stand them (didn’t have them as children).

It's just never as simple as that though. I mean, of course you are correct- push for the good foods as much as you can. And yes that certainly has a positive effect, I'm not denying that.

BUT.

I'll just say this. I have two kids, 8 & 6. My 8 year old will eat most all vegetables. He can gobble down a massive bowl of peas and corn. He loves asparagus. He will eat brussel sprouts RAW (not cooked, only raw...). Loves carrots.

My 6 year old will pretty much only eat carrots. He's been introduced to the other vegetables all the time, sees his older brother eats them. He tries them, just doesn't like them. He'll eat carrots.

10lb bags of carrots from costco are a staple in our fridge.

So, just giving a counter example of no matter what I've done with one of them, he doesn't like the taste of other veggies. They both love their fruit. And having a pull-out vegetable/fruit drawer in the fridge is an ABSOLUTE LIFE SAVER. I would recommend that to all parents. Your kids can get their own snack- in the healthy drawer!

Anyway- none of what I said means I would do anything different. Or that you should. I think what you are doing is great. But I think with this stuff there is a lot of genetics/taste preference that we are banging our head against the walls with.. and it's hard.

I'll say this, my 8 year old is basically a little clone of me.. and I also love my fruits/vegetables. Whereas the 6 year old is much more like my wife, who wouldn't just choose fruit/veggies as a snack.

Nature vs nurture is a real bitch sometimes.

They generally have a lottery system that is completely random, and have to provide all services for special needs students that public school does. However, some of their differences in test scores could be attributed to simply requiring a bare minimum or effort from parents to research and apply for their children.

The EU paid 6 billion to help Turkey with its migration crisis[1]. In addition to this, they also receive money from other funds like Horizon2020, funding for industry innovation, as part of the pathway of Turkeys to get full EU membership.

This is crazy. I am not even against paying for facilities for refugees outside of the EU or give grants for research. We have a long history of cultural exchange dating back to the eastern roman empire and before.

What a joke EU politics has become, no majority is in favor of Turkey joining the union, only the large diaspora of Turks. The Brexit is a mistake, The Donald is an idiot, but at least they made people get out of their sofa and vote instead of this semi-democracy we call the EU.

Hes not going to come out and say "Dyson is leaving because the UK is going to become a terrible place to do business internationally" either, especially after his enthusiastic support for brexit.
I bought vacuums that were supposed to be as good as Dysons and they always sucked (though there are some Sharks I've heard good things about). Then I finally bought a Dyson (a v7) and it's been great. Great design and function.
> Basically by buying whatever you are shoving money in to this regime. No matter what and where you buy.

Your other option is...what?

You can't buy anything electronic anymore solely "Made in America"; that is, where all the parts, design, assembly, casing, etc - are all done here. Outside of maybe a few select items (and probably certain military stuff - but that isn't available to consumers anyhow) - it just doesn't exist. And it won't likely ever exist, as it would be suicide for a business to go that route.

Anything made in other SEA countries likely use parts sourced from China. I am not sure what you are suggesting, except that we stop purchasing new electronics, and hope and pray that (somehow) our electronics manufacturing systems from the 1950s-70s magically return back to our country.

You'll be waiting a long time...

Funny statement coming from someone who thinks the impeachment of Trump is a "coup". Do you support pussy grabbing, kids in cages, abandoning our allies, allowing foreign governments to assassinate resident journalists, a constant stream of lies and gas lighting from the President, doing nothing about foreign interference in our elections, the purchase of political ads spouting outright lies, conflicts of interest in President's businesses, rolling back civil and environmental protections, etc... You should have a nice long think about your own ethics and what you're willing to support, hypocrite.
In your examples, the tomatoes were the flavour element you enjoyed, not the main caloric driver. That was the pasta (probably wheat). Your example agrees with the GP.
Their goal was to develop a cross-platform OS - so porting was kind of the whole point. Making code and systems portable between architectures was a research topic they wanted to prove out and learn from.

> they take about the same time as any other dryer

This is false. Before the Dyson Airblade and the really loud Xlerator ones, World Dryer was the most common hand dryer (in America at least), and they are awful. Forget about 10 seconds, you could stand there for 60 seconds and still want to use paper towels after.

Dyson really got the bagless vacuums to become the dominant vacuum in the USA. I think while it looks cool and relieving to see lots of stuff whirl in a transparent tornado chamber, it is far inferior to actually having a bag. You then have to dump out a dusty dirt container somewhere (hopefully not inside) and clean and sometimes replace an expensive filter. Vacuum bags are pretty cheap, and biodegradable, and much cleaner to replace. It holds a lot more too before affecting suction resulting in less empties.
Not only that, what about the end of infrastructure? Timber, steel, copper, asphalt, cement -- these are signs of a country investing in its infrastructure. Other than copper, if we saw a trillion dollar infrastructure package, our de-materialization would vanish in a heartbeat, and our carbon emissions would shoot WAY up.

With all due respect, it seems to me that the documents contradict the claim in the initial email.

Rob's initial claim is that Ken came up with UTF-8 entirely from scratch, without even looking at IBM's proposal.

But Ken's oldest document from Sep 2, 1992 has his changes simply appended after the original FSS-UTF document from IBM (starting at "We define 7 byte types", as mentioned in the email), and notes the changes from original spec.

Then the final document that he sent out (Sep 8) is basically the FSS-UTF document with his changes applied (this is also mentioned in the email!).

There are two changes, basically:

1. Use 10 instead of 1 as the prefix for continuation bytes, so you can synchronize from an arbitrary location.

2. Once the bits are reassembled, use the value as-is instead of adding a bias constant, which simplifies the code at the cost of a tiny bit of packing efficiency.

Given the documentation provided, I would say that the fairest description of the development of UTF-8 is that IBM came up with the initial design, and Plan 9 made two improvements on it to produce the final UTF-8 design.

And : my physics teacher had a C5. However at the time it was not road legal in The Netherlands so he had to stop using it for his commute. This may have limited adoption.

Also, the C5 was not only ahead of its time regarding the electric aspect of it, it also introduced a sitting / lying position ahead of the popularity of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recumbent_bicycle.

The enigma of Nir Eyal continues to evolve and turn in on itself. First he writes the manual for how to write addictive apps. Then he writes a book seemingly atoning for his previous work hijacking human psychology.

And now it turns out he's actually trying to say "It's not Facebook's fault, it's your fault. If you can't stop using an app then it's a failure on your end". When he knows full well that the playing field is not even, and he was one of the guys who helped them take the upper hand.

The comparison to Reefer Madness is just silly. Pot is not a product designed by engineers to encourage the greatest time spent smoking pot as possible. The most valuable companies on Wall Street in the 50s were not in the marijuana business. In 2019, the most valuable companies most definitely are in the attention business. Parents in the 50s were not putting joints in the hands of two year olds for hours a day. Parents in 2019 are doing exactly that with ipads and youtube.

>Didn’t Americans freak out over a few players kneeling for the anthem?

Looks like you fell exactly for the Trump propaganda. Saying "Americans" "freaked out" over the kneeling thing is so ridiculous I don't even know where to start. Trump tried to make it a big deal, and probably 0.0001% of his stupid supporters like /r/the_donald try to make it a big deal so that someone like you thinks it's a big deal.

Why do companies keep thinking they can build a fucking car? Yes Tesla did it but it was a company 100% dedicated to it. Dyson has a core business already.

I’m also skeptical about Apple but at least they have one of the largest treasure chests in the world of cash so they can more afford a moon shot.

Not really comparable. A charging point is more like a parking spot, where you park the car and charge it, you might not come back to it for days.
Exactly. I cannot answer for sure because it’s been years since last time I checked, but back then (and from comments here in previous thread, I’d say still) people was required to install extra packages to acquire such functionalities, and usually they would be a bit bloated.

Getting that freedom back once the deal sours will be very hard, and get much harder each year as surveillance and repression grow.
At our core, we are socially uncomplicated. We exhibit swarm behavior and calibrate ourselves based on our nearest neighbors (or, in a more complicated way, how social media can be used to distort our views). This is how the Overton Window works, it's why there's a bias towards appearing as a moderate.

It's a good heuristic, it's just wrong in the case of our climate situation.
It's incredible bad idea to bring people in the EU and house them in ghettoes surrounded with barbed wire to prevent them from leaving.
> Charter schools are less regulated (is this a good thing?) and more accountable (to whom?).

They are definitely less regulated (that is literally what the “charter” refers to: they are publicly-funded schools with charters granting exemptions from the usual requirements for such schools), but are less accountable as a direct result of being less regulated.

> Are charter schools operated for profit?

Often, but not always. Charters may be private for-profit, private non-profit, or public.

> But even then, if these traits are positive, why not handle public schools like this and get rid of charter schools?

Sure, the idea of charter schools (well, the idea for those that don't oppose public education and see it as a tool to dismantle it) is to enable experimentation, identify things that work, and then apply them more generally. Scaling up things done in “successful” charter schools (whether in wider charter implementations or by copying things that seem to work in public schools) never seems to work, and the fairly obvious reason is that (like most other variation in school outcomes) the “success” of charter schools that seem to be getting good results has nothing to do with teaching, and everything to do with student selection.
Fellow EU here: I was curious too, but the high cost + the insane import duty + risk of return. I'm 99% sure if I RMA'd it like OP did, the local customs would somehow not understand that it's a replacement/repair and sting me for the import duty once more :(

I had to have surgery for a minor tear in my wrist a few years ago. They didn't know going in precisely what they'd find, but knew that if it was a portion that had blood flow, they could repair and thing would grow back. If there was no blood flow, they most they could do was clean the tear area, stitch things back a bit, but they'd always be a little weak and I'd always have to be careful not to reinjure.

> There are over 15,000 EV charging points in the UK today

Is a "point" a single cable, or a location with potentially several cables?

Sounds like a useless comparison when a petrol pump can serve far more vehicles per hour than a charging cable.

Not to say that GP is right, but accurate comparisons are much more convincing.
This rings true, and the reason you will see some charters with minorities is that it is classist as well as racist.

When deciding to send our child to public school, suddenly people around us were feeding us with this really cloudy liberal version of classism/racism. Which was basically that: "While we love underprivileged people, if your child is in a school full of underprivileged people, they might not thrive as well as if they were in fancy charter school X." Prefaced by a few sentences started by the wonderful pseudo-scientific canard, "studies have shown...!"

I have come to the belief that this country is ultimately not culturally committed to the notion that equal opportunity comes from education, and that every child should actually get equal opportunity. Even for the most 'liberal' people, it's wrapped up in so much existential fear around their child succeeding in an increasingly competitive rat race that requires absolute educational and developmental perfection until they get into a prestigious university. The recent celebrity college admission scandals are a symbol of this kind of thing, especially given that the families involved were already wealthy enough to support their children into adulthood.

I hope I am wrong.

About the container stuff specifically, I think the different solution provided here versus off-the-shelf Docker is not merely to be compatible with Bazel.

I can't think of any reason you couldn't call the docker tools in a genrule() though, if you prefer.
