The JSON examples are not even valid, the "$reports" properties on department are written as comma separated lists without enclosing array brackets.

I guess XML might be perfect for when you can't decide between singular and plural and want to leave the problem to others...

Because that's the biggest problem besides charset encoding that JSON helps solving: in JSON, you can be unmistakably clear that a given property is to be interpreted as a list of values, even when the current number is less than two. In XML you can just vaguely communicate that intent with an intermediary "plural element" unless you go full schema.

I don’t necessarily disagree with some of your points.

But Adopt a Highway (adoptahighway.net) is a marketing and advertising program. Which apparently works as many, like you, probably think they’re doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.
Underground power distribution doesn't last as long as above ground. So not only is it more expensive to install, you have to reinstall it more often, plus spend more money on repairs more often. Repairs take longer as well because you have to dig up the lines to do it.
How does routing work in these power lines? Is it similar to a network where you can route around problematic hubs? So if there is a line going through 4 miles of trees, you can just turn that part off... not the whole county?

The Spanish Inquisition did all that and much worse. How much Moorish blood remains in the people of Spain today? How many conversos did the Inquisitors burn at the stake, generations after their ancestors converted, on the strength of rumormongering by jealous neighbors? The Christian and Jewish traditions — clerics, holy books, writing systems, and all — survived centuries of Muslim rule. What today survives of the records of the Inka? Where are the Maya codices today? And the Inka and the Maya fared much better than the Caribs and the Quilmes.

Bartolomé de las Casas relates stories of cruelty beyond belief, inhuman monstrosities beyond imagining, atrocities whose publication he delayed for more than thirty years, finally publishing pseudonymously. How many such true accounts have been forgotten because they were denied the Inquisitor's imprimatur? But the Aztecs' human sacrifices to the sun god, used to justify the bringing of "civilization" to the "savages", remain notorious today.
A major part of the issue here is that although PQ&E is a private company, they're heavily regulated by the state. Price controls plus a political mandate to invest in green industry has left it with few resources for maintaining existing infrastructure.
I find JSON better for random lookups, and XML good for sequential reads. UI falls into the later basket: start at the root, read the children, etc, etc.

I have a theory that toxic players reports non-toxic players, which can create a weird loop of retaining non-toxic players in a low trust factor. I don't know, but I'm surprised with some of the toxicity I experience, and it takes _a lot_ for me to get angry with other players and grief or curse.

Nim does not allow variables starting with underscore.

Also, the compiler errors cannot if any of "useHTTP", "usehttp" or "use_http" is acceptable or unwanted, but it can error out with a clear warning if you are trying to define different variables with those names in the same scope.
This is 100% opposite my experience in wetland water quality permits. Sorry your state has super corrupt army corps districts. Ours (NC) let's all kind of stuff slide, but we still do thorough work that meets all applicable regulations even when the assessor insists they don't need the entire NRTR.
We'll never get a system like this in the US because it removes the ability to legislate via tax code.
It's neither impossible nor unlawful though, they just need the rest of the country to agree with them leaving. The fascist dictator who formed modern Spain made it so its constituent lands can expel a part of it but no one part of it can choose to leave.

This is the root of why the procés is illegal, and why they are being charged as violent agitators. They are seen as young kids trying to leave their parent's house and taking their bedrooms and console with them.

If they amended the constitution, changed the rules, THEN left, that would change things. Problem is, that's even harder to do, in a country where the aforementioned military dictator died free, of old age, and he and his legacy are greatly revered by a whole lot of people.

Yes, the amount of nicotine in Juul pods is absurdly high, and has little variability. Somehow they became the market leader, and a lot of people assume their products to be representative of the industry as a whole. They aren't.

If you want something harmful to ban, why don't you start with products with a nicotine level above 24 mg/ml. Better yet, why don't you REQUIRE them to be made available in a variety of lower nicotine concentrations, including nicotine-free. Giving the user control over the nicotine content is the primary value of vaping for smoking cessation. There is a legitimate public health interest in requiring products to be useful for this purpose.
> The question is if a democracy can be called democratic if it's impossible/unlawful for minorities to secede. I also think that a secession wouldn't be the smartest choice, but that's a totally different matter.

I don't think I'm in position to have a long discussion about this in english, but I thought about it and reached no conclussion.

If I'm against the Catalan independence it's basically because of practical reasons. I don't think it will solve any problem, but create many more, make many people from Catalonia and from outside miserable and it's also the question of how this momentum has been achieved, which actors have been involved, and in what way.

Currently the independence movement is probably, and for the most part, outside the control of PDCAT and ERC, which are the two main independence parties.

But I can't just erase my memory and forget how it got here, and on what arguments.

I have Catalan friends and relatives, as well as two ex-girlfriends, so I don't live in a television reality (exclusively), and the situation hurts me a lot, and I can understand how the Catalan perception of events develops, and I am perfectly aware of the failures of the Spanish state, but I can only be in favour if I do a very selective memory exercise.

All this without forgetting that there is a legal way, which is to reform the constitution. But it is difficult and requires a political capital that the parties that (now) are idependent have burned long ago.

And I can imagine what a politician sitting in his office thinks when he observes that he has never had better material and symbolic conditions, and that if he wanted support from other regions he would have to recover the capital lost in the last, I don't know, fifteen years.
You have no idea. They don't. Israelis have been cozying up to Saudi and UAE for a while now, while it's not something you will read about in the major newspapers yet, you will find articles written about this by smaller publications.

People only think Saudi must have poor relations with Israel based on somewhat outdated geopolitics, it's basically an assumption because "Saudi is an Arab country and therefore Israel must not do stuff with them", except you find out this is somewhat ridiculously false even going back decades, with all kinds of Arab regimes/groups dealing with Israelis. Just remember one thing the Arab people != the Arab regimes. They are mostly corrupt and could care less what their citizens actually want, so this should make more sense to you.

You can look up several cases of Israeli companies (many with ties to the state) dealing with Arab countries. This is true especially of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt & Jordan (which actually both have treaties with Israel... And somewhat less secret official relations). Most people don't know enough about the Middle East or pay enough attention to their politics to notice these things, which is understandable if you're not from the region.

There was also that documentary made by Al Jazeera about Israeli lobbies (which was censored btw, ironically enough due to Israeli lobbying... What a great way to prove their point), in that documentary one of those guys mentions contacts in Arab countries. Honestly at this point anybody paying attention should have realized these ties. This shouldn't even be surprising all these countries involved are corrupt and shitty, Israel is only looked at in a weird way in the United States, outside of it people realize how extremely shitty that country is, if it wasn't for the US interests and Israeli Lobbies which in turn influence politics and Corporate media most Americans would see Israel as garbage, unless they are evangelicals. I don't think I need to talk about Saudi.

What made me switch away from Ubuntu was that at some point I was forced to upgrade my OS version in order to continue to receive updates for my packages. I now prefer rolling the rolling release model (which Manjaro / Arch use)

Having relatively recent Linux Kernels available is also cool, I'm already on version 5.3.6 and this was trivial to do (5.3.8 is the most recent stable branch).
Good thing we've had XML defining layouts for many years, despite many of the technologies that used the pattern being dead. XML as a layout definition vs XML as data were topics devs discussed heavily 15 years ago, too. So many Java frameworks used Xml to describe the user interfaces (like JavaServer Faces, early Tapestry, etc.). At one time, I worked with a lot was Adobe Flex which used MXML to define user interfaces [1], don't forget about Microsoft's XAML.

It's actually amazing to me how many of Flex's great ideas live on in other frameworks not dependent on the Flash Player, and looking at some modern day React often reminds me if it.

Biology is certainly not an engineering discipline. This claim that it is reflects how little the authors know about biological systems and our limited understanding of biological diversity.

Online matchmaking has changed things for the better and for the worse. I used to play BF1942 online and there was no matchmaker.

They probably had a good admin presence and any cheaters or toxic people got banned quickly. Used to be too that everyone's computer was almost certainly wired into their router. Now, as you say, most people are one wifi with terrible connections.

Now you get placed with random people you'll never see again, a fifth of whom it feels like are cheating anyway.

PG&E pays out dividends out of profits. The amount of profit it makes is strictly regulated by the government, based on the California Public Utility Commission’s rate-making. (What’s called an “authorized rate of return.”) PG&E would submit detailed proposals to the government about what it was planning to spend money on, and how much it would cost and what rates would have to be, and the government would approve those proposals and award PG&E a profit as some percentage of the investment: https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/uploadedFiles/CPUC_Public_Website/Co...

So it is 100% false to say that “PG&E was avoiding maintenance to pay out dividends.” If PG&E didn’t spend money on safety and maintenance, then the rates, and PG&E’s profit, would go down. Conversely, if PG&E wanted to spend the money on safety, that wouldn’t cut into profits. It would submit a rate case to the CPUC with that proposed spending. CPUC would authorize raising rates, and award PG&E a larger profit (in absolute terms) because PG&E was spending more.

Order / disorder transitions constitute a double edged sword. Indeed proteins, dna, rna possess crystalline structure. It may even require decades of microgravity incubation to unlock these oases of stability within the seas of chaos.

The great driver in Biotech is that results are immediately tangible. When we achieve the result that a 100 year old human preserves full memory recall and the neuroplasticity of a teenager. That will really be an accomplishment. One worth diverting even a small fraction of the current trillions spent on military hardware to hard tech bio R & D.

The Talmud says that if a gentile's 0x gorges a Jew, the gentile mist compensate him. However, it conveniently leaves out any language describing if the Jew must compensate the gentile.

The Hasidic community is the worst at this. Take, for example, Joseph Prushinowski who created a fake bank and ran off with over $190,000,000 in the 1960s dollars.

It took Prushnikowski 13 years to get caught, because he choose banks run and owned by gentile. Both the hasidic community and the mossad. $190m helps buy weapons to evict a lot of Palestinians in order to turn their homes into settlements and give them to the chosen people, so who cares if he's robbing them, they're goyim.

He finally screwed up in 1998, after running successful scams in Canada, USA, Denmark, Sweden, Nederlands, England and Australia. The only reason he was caught was he decided to get greedy and steal from gentiles in Israel. Go figure.
> You can only "own" anything by going to great lengths to protect it.

The expense is mostly shared across all the things you own. You protect one flat or house, and store most of your possessions in it.

> Ultimately, you are still reliant on the relationships you have with others and their willingness to respect that it is yours.

Those are relationships with humans, and perhaps fixed number of public services. Each provides something important. 100th commercial relationship that only exists because the industry likes recurring payments for what should be a one-time purchase is tiring.
We had a non-binding referendum on November 9th, 2014, with 90% saying yes to independence, but 37% voter turnout.

Then an illegally-binding referendum was organized by the Catalan government on October 1st, 2017. The result was 90% leaves, but yet again, 43% voter turnout, and there were no democratic guarantees, as some people were caught voting multiple times, the census was obtained illegally, etc.

After that illegal referendum, the Catalan government decided to secede and declare independence. That's why they were prosecuted and recently convicted. Declaring the independence of a part of Spanish sovereign territory is explicitly forbidden under the name of "secession" in Spanish constitution, and because it goes against the nation's own sovereignty it is considered a very serious crime, that's why they were convicted up to 13 years.

From my POV, as a Catalan citizen, this is ordinary application of law, the law that we all agreed upon in the first place, and the riots and violent scenes seen recently are simply caused by a minority of the pro-independent minority which want independence at all costs, and police forces can't allow that, thus, conflict.

I’ve been around long enough to use them all. I’m pretty happy with JSON as a debuggable serialization format for machine-to-machine or light machine-to-human use cases. YAML works well for human-to-machine (JSON could fill this use case as well if it would support comments and multi line strings). I don’t use TOML much, and good riddance to XML.

You can turn off a line if you have capacity elsewhere. The problem is that as the current increases in a line the temperature of the line increases. This causes thermal expansion and if not well managed, a line can sag too low and have to be turned off. This was one of the causes of the 2003 northeast blackout.

The other option is to have local generation that can supply local load but that is still quite hard to do with renewables.

Well, as both Americans and Spanish might say, "we had a war to settle that issue." The U.S. have been a republic (what you call a "democracy") for the entirety of their history as a nation, and yet unilateral secession is clearly forbidden.

We should figure out a way to quantify and exchange tokens that represent our human virtues- fairness, goodness, and happiness. Maximizing utility and profit currently only refer to money- the token for concrete things. Although money is a good approximation for utility in the ‘small’ regime, large amounts of money do not translate to large amounts of happiness. Perhaps I could write a neural net that would parse and analyze the input from my iPhone- the data captured by its sensors -audio, facial expression, facial blood flow (ir) - could be mapped to a happiness token. But even that is a fail. Just like systems we tried to make before- karma, kudos,upvoting,rep, etc
