it's worth noting that spanish over-reactions may be rooted in memories/fears of ETA, which is an entirely different group from an entirely different region also seeking secession.

the concern is the "suppress this at any cost" approach.

the heavy sentences can be seen as provocative (13 years for holding an "illegal" election is indefensible. it's pure authoritarian slapdown, reeks of hubris, and spits in the face of actual violent crime convictions. you can get less for murder in Spain!)

this fuels sympathy for a movement that otherwise smelled a bit like the "Piadina" secessionists: a rich region seeking to "unburden" itself of it's poorer compatriot region

such is the unreformed state of spanish nationalism that Madridenses literally will see nothing wrong with extreme civil rights breaches by G.C. etc.

let's not forget that Spain just sold a large order of bombs to Saudi Arabia, so the epiphet "terrorist" is not to be taken seriously, as in the American Gov't etc.

I'm in no way interested in Catalunyan independence, but this posturing by the Spanish Gov't looks RIDICULOUS and should be ridiculed as such.
You're just talking about the areas near power lines now though. Those fires wouldn't be as big of an issue if the rest of the area was properly maintained, not allowing the fire to spread. That part has nothing to do with the power companies.

So yes, not having the fires start is on the power companies, however making sure it can't spread isn't. Which is why I wrote 'in part'.
"Previous major wildfires have been sparked by: mower blades, rims of flat tires sparking on pavement, catalytic converters parked over dry grass, sparks from a hammer. And electrical equipment."

Honestly, at that point, you have a fire, it's just not burning yet. The idea that we can prevent fires from happening by preventing all sources of ignition in hundreds and hundreds of square miles is completely absurd. Even though Man is responsible for a lot of ignition, he's not responsible for all of them. Even if you completely removed civilization, it's still going to be a fire.

I don't have a solution, or any good news here. Best thing I can think of at this point is spending a shit ton of money and creating some very large fire breaks around cities and then burning on purpose, but California probably can't do that either. By the time the eminent domain lawsuits and counterlawsuits happened, the environmental review happens ("we plan on killing lots of things, and then we're going to set the rest of the stuff we didn't kill on fire" isn't exactly going to sail through the review process), and everyone gets their beaks wetted, it'll just end up being a giant waste of money that gets ended with the fires occur anyhow. And the fire breaks would have to be huge; we're probably measuring the necessary widths with miles fairly reasonably. (Possibly <1 mile, but certainly multiple tenths of a mile.) And the liability. Nobody sane would take that job.
I know, not my fault, I just copy/pasted the actual source code of the page while I was commenting.
Youtube kinda gave me a taste of this, a few days ago. They didn't pull the music, but they pulled all the relevant recommendations. So where I used to listen to a song or album and get a long list of relevant recommendations of music from the same artist, label, uploader, or musical style, I suddenly got nothing but local youtubers' nonsense and gaming streams. After I blocked those (not interested & don't recommend this channel again), I got literally no recommendations at all anymore. It was depressing to realize how reliant I am on a company to faciliate music discovery, knowing that they can change their algorithms and/or block certain content any day.
It does appear to be their responsibility.

>From the perspective of any moral human being. Not intentionally harming others is kind of fundamental.

Sure, at least from your perspective. But all human being ? Even now we disagree.

There are some people that to them harming people is the moral thing to do.

You may then say they are wrong, but again you view it from your morality, using your definition of 'wrong'.

>Non-smokers came first.

Sure, for the Non-smokers, Non-smokers came first.

>And there's more of them

Right, so its more to do with which side has more power/influence.

>Plus, non-smokers are at best inconvenience to smokers

Sure the non-smokers can dismiss it as merely inconvenience. But I'm sure there is some smokers that are highly suffer from not able to smoke anywhere anytime.

>Not likely. If the smokers are decent people, there won't be a problem

Again, some smokers can use the same argument, if the non-smokers are decent people, they can excuse themselves and there won't be a problem.

>if they aren't, they obviously won't vote in laws that inconvenience them

While I'm sure within smokers there are people who support the law, but I'm taking about the smokers who againts the law. Unfortunately, they fail or just don't have enough power/influence to prevent the law to exist.

>deficiencies of the regulatory process, which optimizes for the loudest voices instead of maximizing good for everyone

Its not deficiencies because it just the way it is, whichever side who are the strongest get to decide the law.

Maximizing good for everyone is an impossibility. What one human consider as good may be considered bad to other human.

>And like I said, that's why current legal standard people are leaning towards is not to ban it, but to make it opt-in. So if you're fine with tracking, you can have it

Sure if you can gain the power/influence to make it law. But I hope not and I will not support it. why ? It increase friction/inconvenience. Just like the cookie warning, its highly annoying, I would much prefer it to be opt-out or no option at all.
It's just software running on a Raspberry Pi (which does have TV out). You could easily run the exact same software on a laptop. Maybe even build a FreeDOS version, for maximum availability on x86 retro hardware. (Though this is actually an obvious use case for a DRM-free ebook platform. If only e-paper in large formats wasn't so expensive and hard to find.)
Could you sue locally in small claims court?
I hope this doesn’t exacerbate the shortage of CRTs. These are extremely valuable for retro gaming. Old LCDs would be just fine for reading Wikipedia. CRTs are irreplaceable.
"I'm positive we would have invented a workable replacement." is also not a compelling argument :)

It's actually rather absurd to suggest automobiles were a net negative. They are one of the greatest inventions in the history of humanity. It's like saying electricity is a net negative.
Who decided that, for example, music.new goes to OVO and not itunes? Was there an auction?
What's wrong with it being a download button? Does it have to be a "Cancel" or "Yes" button for the example to apply?

But sure, they're animated. I'm referring to the design of the buttons, not the animations. Try this on for size: https://dribbble.com/shots/5915773-Unlock-calls

I don't get this obsession with Skeumorphism. IMO it's not a good look and should be left in the 2000's.
> The lunar mission profiled in there takes 15 tanker launches, which is a lot.

Using pre-Starship capabilities, 15 launches is a lot. At $5M/launch, 3 launches per day that they're forecasting for Startship, 15 launches would be a tiny part of the budget.

...

The wildfire crisis is ultimately the product of a state politics controlled by interest groups whose agenda has drifted out of any cognizable relationship with the daily well-being of the state’s average citizen.

Because California accounts for less than 1% of global emissions, nothing it does will make a difference to climate, but its ratepayers shell out billions for wind and solar that might be better spent on fireproofing. A generation of ill-judged environmental activism has all but ended forest management in favor of letting dead trees and underbrush build up because it’s more “natural.” At the same time, residents resist any natural or planned fires that would consume this tinder before it gives rise to conflagrations like those now menacing Los Angeles and San Francisco.

An activist state Supreme Court imposed on utilities responsibility for any wildfires started by their equipment regardless of negligence. At the same time, state policy obliges them to extend their networks to support housing developments in areas the state designates as “very high fire risk.”

California’s activist one-party government, with its penchant for pretending to be a national government in relation to the hot-button issues of the left, is where all these roads end. Elites subsidize electric cars for themselves while promoting zoning that forces lower-income workers to commute three hours to a job or live in their cars. PG&E can’t keep trees off its power lines but can supply exact numbers for how many LGBTQ workers it employs.

Summary: elevation estimates using data from SRTM [1] are too high in built-up areas, because unlike with LIDAR data it's not able to tell the difference between "this is high ground" and "this is low ground with a building on it". Which means many coastal urban areas are more vulnerable to sea level rise than people had previously estimated.

They try to get a better estimate by building a more complex model, and calibrate it using LIDAR where that's available. This lets them say not just "things are worse than we thought" but "these specific parts of these populated areas are at risk".

Yeah, checkboxes simply need better theming support. Hiding them is not good, but also having them break consistency and sticking out like a sore thumb because there's no way to skin them is also not good
Sorry but as a UxD of 15+ years, that is exactly what I and my team do. It is entirely possible and reasonable for a little d designer to understand and account for the realtime forces that affect a user in context.

The problem is three-fold. First, is that UxD has become a catch all for any digital designer (it took me 8 months to hire 2 qualified UxDs). Second, most companies simply don't pay for professional design talent.

I can tell you with certainty that banks pay between 30% and 50% of market rate for senior design talent. Most mobile app startups pay slightly less than that.

Third is that we don't write the code. We can only recommend what a developer should build and what a stakeholder should prioritize. I've watched both sandbag good design in favor of more features more times than I can count. I've watched both sandbag good design because there was no percieved business value more than once. I've had so many countless conversations with developers who wouldn't do the work because they didn't know how to implement a design and wouldn't admit their knowledge gap.

A true UxD who can cover interaction, behavioral psychology, kinesiology, aesthetics, workflow, accessibility, information architecture and basic research methods can command good money that most companies outside FAANG aren't willing to spend.
That stands pretty much parallel with aviation turnarounds - it’s purely logistics. If they don’t need to do any maintenance other than standardised checklists between flights, which is their ambition, there’s no fundamental reason they couldn’t do this.
unfortunately that browser doesn't support es6 javascript classes :-(
How would that help? Both the state and utilities are strictly liable for fires they cause in California and I don't see the state as being any more willing to assume that liability go bankrupt than PG&E is. It's already the state that decides how much gets spent on maintenance and the relevant regulatory agency hasn't been willing to let PG&E raise its rates. I guess if its nationalized they could raise taxes instead of raising electricity rates but that sounds equally politically infeasible.
No. It's certainly an eye sore.

I am talking about popular music since the vast majority of people do only listen to the radio.

Of course there's a lot of underground and independent music being made in many genres. It just doesn't have much of an audience.

The corporatism is rarely seen in sci-fi: either it's overwhelming fascist (e.g. battling corporations, killing innocents by the thousands) or trivial. Philip K Dicks' Ubik was close to where we're heading:

“The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”
“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”
In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.
I don't know the details here, but there can be takedown notices from governments that I certainly wouldn't want a software repository to agree to. I think we would need a solution for this problem of central repositories.
This goes multiple ways

- An animation editor like Flash? Ther's still Animate

- A "multimedia" framework for standalone content? I would doubt there is a demand nowadays

- A browser-targeted/cross-platform animation editor? That would be nice.

For the latter, there were some tries already, even from Adobe.
The problem is cross-browser compatibility and performance.

I'd really like to see something based on https://greensock.com/gsap/
They solved all the hard problems already, and its itself based on a Flash/ActionScript framework so terms and structures are familiar, eg. keyframe based tweens.
That seems like a different problem though I can’t imagine there are so many people in California living in remote forests. I think the idea of cutting trees is a big no no regardless of whether it’s for net positive for environment or people.
And if that works, and we restore a more normal cycle, how do we avert the next ice-age with all that space junk?

It's the whole architecture: a two-stage, rapidly reusable rocket with as much cargo capacity as anything to ever fly. And just as important for interplanetary flight: The upper stage is refuelable and is integrated with the passenger compartment and has a large delta-v capability as well as aerobraking/capture/entry.

It really breaks basically every human spaceflight architecture. It's a two element architecture (with common propulsion, simplifying development for the booster) that accomplishes every goal of virtually every other interplanetary human spaceflight architecture conceived. This simple architecture (while avoiding the huge penalties of single-stage vehicles) means that it can be developed extremely cheaply.

It really is a gamechanger in spaceflight. All of spaceflight.

400 satellites per launch? For maybe an incremental price of about $40 million near-term and $4 million long-term? That's, um, $10,000 per satellite. That breaks every model of space development.

And it's not like all of this was unforeseeable. Even Werner Von Braun proposed refueling-dependent human spaceflight architectures in the 1940s (in his fictional book about exploring Mars) that would enable low cost. But for historical reasons, human spaceflight took another path.
As a type 1 diabetic, I can tell you beef does not spike blood glucose and resulting insulin response just as much as rice as does. Protein usually takes about half the dosage for the same amount of grams (ie 10g of carbs / 5g of protein), and it does it more slowly. For many type 1 diabetics on non low-carb diets, protein is eaten in small enough amounts with large enough amounts of carbs that you usually don't factor it into your dosage.

I've seen similar situations in Canada:

- In Nova Scotia, an acquaintance food & safety inspector became a consultant to industry on how to navigate the arcane laws of food & safety. There was no fraud or wonkiness there that I could easily perceive - the companies wanted to do the right thing; knew they were not experts in what the right thing is; so hired a person they were confident knew what the right thing is.

- Though we had our own bright security analysts in the company I worked for, when dealing with the public sector we have been heavily advised, and learned the wisdom of, hiring from a pool of rotating local security analysts that knew how to write documents, architecture, assessment in a way that would clearly conform to regulations. Again, not due to any wonkiness - our security analysts who knew the product worked with security analysts who knew the rules, to make sure solution is amenable to all.
Sure, but I think something like this: https://dribbble.com/shots/5915773-Unlock-calls is just a obviously a button. I might be wrong.
It's not about unpaid work though, it's employee-like unpaid work. https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/337123/345240 has some interesting discussion of this.

In practice, that means that normal commenters or people using social media aren't relevant for two reasons:

* There's minimal control over their actions from the 'employer'. There's some basic rules on what content is not allowed, but nobody says "you must write a question about Java every day". You can use the tools available however you'd like, and you have freedom over when and how you use SO/social media - there's no obligation to post with any specific frequency. That's not true for moderators: they have specific tasks they must complete, and they must continue to be active, or they lose their moderation status.

* There's no permanent relationship: you can use social media/SO once, leave, and return any time you like, and leave again. This is not true for moderators.

So both guards fell asleep. Epstein was placed in a cell alone, despite the earlier suicide watch. Both cameras malfunctioned. The autopsy is more consistent with homicide than suicide. Nobody knows where his money came from. He was seemingly collecting blackmail material on the rich and powerful. And there is known evidence of higher powers trying to stop the case going forward in the courts. The entire thing reeks of an intelligence operation by a state actor. Which state?

I'm not much of a fan of conspiracy theories, usually Occams Razor is right. But it's not a natural law, and sometimes the conspiracy theory is actually going to be the truth. This case is extremely suspicious, I think he was most likely murdered.

I started playing about 10 months ago. I had played ages ago when the original came out (Connecting through dial up!).

When I started this time I sucked. I was constantly on the last places. As time has passed I think I have become better. Nowadays I am normally in the middle rank.

I still suck though, that's why I usually play death match. It gives me the best time/enjoyment ratio.

It never occurred to me that some ppl could be using autoaiming or similar cheats.

For me, a very casual player, it is very enjoyable.
