Portraits are meant to capture the essence of a person and the challenge is to think about who/what that person is rather than yourself.
It was not 'the official position of the church' to not enjoy sex. While some of what the good archbishop is saying is certainly church dogma, some of it is his opinion. Thomas Aquinas, only a few hundred years later, claimed it was sinful for men to have sex without getting their wife to orgasm which is probably a better situation than we have today. Men of course are also obligated to orgasm by church teaching
I don't know if we need escapism anymore or less than before. Now it is more available than ever before and people are wealthier than ever before. So they have time and opportunity to do more of what they want.

When people refer to HTML5 for games (including this post) they usually mean the HTML5 canvas and its associated APIs (canvas/webGL), not using actual HTML elements to render game graphics.

From what I know, canvas rendering is pretty much the same across different browsers. It's a pretty low level API so there's not as much room for interpretation. In any case, the Acid3 test you're running is focused on the specifics of HTML/CSS layout, and don't think it tests the canvas at all.

I think that canvas has done a good job of taking over the use cases that Flash had, and is very portable these days (basic canvas has 98-99% support[0]).

I don't think the recent Joker movie is a good counterpoint. This iteration of the Joker was rather whiny and needy. More than anything, he embodied the kid mentality of "pay attention to me, or I will throw a tantrum!" over the "I don't give a f..., I'll just do what I want" mindset that's normally associated with Joker.

If anything, this Joker felt like a typical incel, a typical angry young man. It's not a superhero movie as there were no superpowers on display.

I think the challenge is that when the sun is variable, you have to constantly regulate the manufacturing process to get consistent output. You have to see clouds coming and scale back the feed rate of whatever material you're heating in advance.

This is really nice. I just wonder whether it heats the air so much near the focal point that it creates an updraft that pulls in and fries insects and birds? (Not that this would stop it from bring a net-positive.)

* Supplier relies on middleman because they can't write convincing sales pitch in the target market's language.

* Supplier relies on middleman so they can get into (and out of) business more quickly; don't need an end-to-end plan to get started.
I used Ansible in pull mode (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/cli/ansible-pull.htm...) in my UserData for several years. I've since left that company, but the implementation still powers their infrastructure. I had Ansible emit slack notifications when it started and completed. If the initial deploy ever failed, the node would eventually fail a healthcheck and that server would be destroyed and throw a different slack notification via an autoscaling group lifecycle monitor.
Self-reporting can be a fine measure.

For example, these participants who were amused by people they disagree with being beaten up self-reported low empathy. They just didn't know that's what they were doing, which is why they were honest about it.

You can measure things better that are unpopular. On a U.S. college campus, you can measure lack of empathy but not empathy, whereas in ancient Sparta you could measure empathy but not lack of empathy.
Moore is spot on here, IMO, but there's another dimension in which our current mass obsession with kid's characters is embarrassing: the comic books that make it to the big screen are far from representative of what's available.

I started collecting comics ironically a few years ago. I was watching "The Big Bang Theory" and had the thought that I should go buy comic books as a kind of joke. I started going to the local comic book store each week after work on new comics day and dropping ~$50 on 10-12 books.

It didn't take me long to realize that comic books today are among the most awesome and mind-blowing stories and art being published in any medium. (I mean, the Internet et. al. has more, but you know what I mean: in physical form the story and art has been reified into something particular and special. A comic book is a physical event. Even the serial nature of the format is part of it. It's just now quite the same to read a graphic novel or a web comic. I don't mean to disparage those formats, I'm just lauding comic books here-and-now.)

They have really become an art form far beyond the stereotypical superhero in tights and a cape. (Which is not to say that there are some comics out there that treat the whole super-beings idea in rich and fascinating ways!)

Comic books are going through a new Golden Age right now. Go to your local comic book store and ask them about it.

That may be true.

However, the quality of their internal controls has nothing to do with why I don't trust Google. I don't trust Google's official and company-sanctioned uses of my data.

Oh my position is that continuing to use tech that was pioneered in the 1960s and has notable safety shortcomings has the possibility to poison the well on a safe and green energy source forever.

I think the solution to this is the deployment of small scale reactors in areas like the midwest where power loss due to distance traveled is a serious matter - close down the gigantic old chimney reactors since people look at those and instantly think Chernobyl. And, before another Fukushima happens, let's get a big ol' pile of new regulations on these aging reactors or possibly just nationalize them and shut them down. It's really just a matter of time until another nationally noticeable accident happens, and more local ones aren't infrequent, especially runoff and watersource pollution. Vermont Yankee[1] got into big trouble for this a while back (specifically tritium leaks) and the decommissioning trust had, of course, been underfunded.

Our old gen nukes and operators cutting corners on safety are the biggest obstacles to having new gen nukes.

I assumed you were not using Amazon because it's obviously a bad choice for this use case. $2/hour is $87k over 5 years — not surprising you can't make money.

One can rent a rack for about $3k a year which comfortably fits 20 servers. Obviously, colocation is much cheaper.

There's exactly zero chance it's not, which makes this review weird to read. "Eliza mostly seems to listen to its patients a bit before asking leading questions to get them to speak more. I don’t notice much insight being offered about their problems." Hardly a surprise for a machine named Eliza, since that's the exact same gambit the real Eliza chatbot uses!

(And that's not what a leading question is! A leading question is trying to provoke a specific answer, not to try and get them to speak generally. "How do you feel about that" is the opposite of a leading question)

Er... Was 2001 the last time you gamed on a computer?

All those issues are solved in modern day pc gaming. Even GOG with its drm free games automatically updates and syncs your games, and even supports beta channels. Also, I don't recall the last time I had a OS related problem more complex than "update your graphic card driver".

On consoles this is even more of a non issue.
The MCU movies are not considered campy by most standards since they take themselves and their internal universe completely seriously.

Batman of the 1960s was campy. The Flash TV show is campy. The MCU may have some humorous moments but the tone, overall, is serious and thought-provoking. Civil War, Black Panther, Winter Soldier, and Iron have all been mentioned here already but you can go on and on with those films.

The interplay between Catwoman and the Penguin in Batman Returns is a fascinating bit of cinema.

I agree, though it is worth remembering that Nixon had strong GOP support right up until the day he did not. Trump is safe now (though I figure the odds of him being impeached are 100%) but if anything comes out that seriously deteriorates the support of the base, the Senate can change gears very quickly.
Yes there's something larger than work. Many people (me included) needed to learn to check their own needs and keep joy in view vs all kinds of expectations.

No, it doesn't. I know people from developing countries. I'm married to one. Universally, every single one of them wants to get the fuck out, and they do everything in their power to get out.

That's reality in a developing country.

The US is not in any way like a developing country. Comparing it to one is an act of such entitled privileged whining it's absurd.
I don't think anyone who has had to pay hospital bills would agree with the hospital lobby's decision to fight this. The article's title makes it give the impression this is okay because, orange man bad, however regardless of the party pushing for transparency it is something everyone would benefit from (other than the heal care industry/insurance company's profits).
Your anecdotes may be relatively worthless to a company as large as Google, but they may yet be quite valuable to an individual reading your words. Don't be afraid to share your thoughts; sometimes these smaller, more human interactions can make all the difference.
All you have to do is do a google search for people dying of health conditions because the cops ignored them, people lying on the ground beaten half to death, out cold, while cops yell "stop resisting arrest!", guys on the ground shot for not crawling up to the cops right, the list goes on and on.
Tax heavens have MUCH lower taxes, but they also have other benefits like very little bureaucracy, better privacy and better protection from lawsuits.

You will also have a lot of freedom managing your company. For example, if you try to move a German company to another country and that country has lower tax rate, then Germans will put additional punishing taxes on your company for the next 10 years, despite you are not living there anymore. You will never have that issue with offshore corporations.
The previous administration had a similar effort that failed. I hope that this effort is successful.

>"For instance, it could allow one provider to follow and match the prices of the other provider (like two gas stations across the street from one another who face no other competition)," Garmon said.

I understand this argument, but I think they underrate how much people are willing to shop around when they actually have prices to use as a metric. I would be willing to travel to get a cheaper hip replacement if I actually know what the local price is, rather than being surprised by it every time.

My point is that the conflict is only surface level though. The underlying philosophy of both the boomers and the younger generations seem identical. That's quite a shift from how people thought pre-boomer and post-boomer. Boomers and younger generations still hold the individual at the pinnacle of society whereas pre-boomer cultures did not.
This whole announcement has been a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario for Valve in terms of reception. At this point Valve has put a lot of investment in VR. For years people have asked for a big first party VR game from Valve, often explicitly a Half-Life game. They announce it and many responses are "why did Valve release a game for their own hardware". It's possible that growth will slow in VR and Valve will give up, but why do it now when they have a game ready for release and solidly selling first party hardware?

Are you using Ansible to orchestrate the setup of a particular EC2 instance, or to actually provision AWS resources, or both? If you're doing AWS resources, where is ansible running from?

I have a few deployments using CloudFormation, and in those use CloudFormation::Init [1] to actually setup the EC2 instances (deploy packages, apps, configure local firewall, etc). This kind of grew over time and now involves some (mildly) complex bash and/or powershell scripts which do things that could probably be done with Ansible, but when I started it wasn't obvious how complex that part would eventually get. The split of Ansible vs CloudFormation responsibility also wasn't clear to me, and I favored the simplicity of a single tool, so even though I considered using Ansible, I ended up sticking to CloudFormation::Init.

In retrospect, CloudFormation::Init is pretty much a stand-alone tool, and the only connection it has to AWS and AWS CloudFormation is really just that it reads the metadata from the EC2 API to get its actual configuration (which is just a JSON or YAML blob).

> PRC offers is very specific to China

This is the entire reason behind "with Chinese characteristics". There is no universal Chinese model to export, the Chinese system is a product of constant experimentation that is highly situational and enabled by advantages of Chinese scale. Most countries are constrained in demographics, geography etc to replicate what China has done. The closest applicable model behind Chines development is Manchukuo, strategic protectionist policies that establish domestic industries which has fueled other Asian tigers like Japan, Korea and Taiwan. What's unique to China is sheer scale enables her reach great power parity in many fields and the ability to absorb failures without losing too much momentum. At the end of the day, the only oppression that China will export is surveillance state technology like Huawei Smart City but that's an commercial commodity like weapons, not ideology.

IMO people are worried about Chinese influence because US influence is declining - that shining house on hill has become dilapidated in the last 20 years. Blaming the nouveau riche neighbor won't solve America's problems, nor will trying to stop them from getting that new pool nor coercing others in the neighborhood to avoid the new neighbors house party.

I have never understood this viewpoint of, "If you find fault with country X, then leave!" Sometimes it's applied to companies, tools, etc., too: "If you find fault with Y, then stop using it!"

Can you explain this to me? It seems like an extreme way to live that would preclude anyone from living anywhere that's not perfect or using anything that's not perfect. (And nothing is perfect.)

Why not just address the criticisms individually, rather than arbitrarily bundling them into a person's decision on where to live and what to use?

> Ms Persson said: "I would like to emphasise that the injured party has submitted a credible and reliable version of events.

> "Her statements have been coherent, extensive and detailed; however, my overall assessment is that the evidential situation has been weakened to such an extent that that there is no longer any reason to continue the investigation."

Did Ms Persson also clarify that a lack of evidence suggests that the state consider that Assange may be the injured party. Presuming the accuser injured seems to deprive Assange of an assumption of innocence (not sure if applicable there).

Were Assange's statements not coherent, extensive, and detailed? If so, why favor the accuser? Why deprive Assange of fair treatment?
