Good point. But then many (most?) sites these days don't use a favicon.ico file in the root, but point to a .png or similar via a header tag as shown in the article (e.g. "<link rel=”icon” href=”/path/to/icon.png”>"). That has the same 'semantic' issue of the favicon being specific to the page and not site.
I think maybe the issue is that the word "immigrant" means informally different things to different people, and something else again officially.

A person from country A who voluntarily moves to country B with the intention of staying there permanently is officially an "immigrant". That's the international standard definition used in immigration statistics, so we can compare immigration statistics between different countries. As far as the official definition goes, it doesn't matter whether the source and destination countries have a common border or are on other sides of the planet, whether they speak the same language or not, whether they are culturally alike or culturally dissimilar.

Now if you are talking about what "immigrant" means informally, that's something which varies in different countries. In Australia, you get anti-immigrant sentiment, and a lot of Australians respond to that anti-immigrant sentiment by saying "we are all immigrants! (except for the Indigenous)". In Europe, I think the term "immigrant" has a more negative connotation. That method of "reclaiming" it doesn't work if your ancestors have lived in the same place so long that nobody is really sure when they immigrated to it, but whenever it was, it was likely thousands of year ago. Hence the term tends to be associated more with immigrants from poorer countries, whereas immigrants from richer countries don't want to be called that, and others don't want to call them that, even if that's technically what they are.

> Switzerland is basically part of the EU without the Euro.

Well, Denmark and Sweden are officially part of the EU without the Euro. Switzerland is not officially part of either the EU or the EEA. Although a messy system of piecemeal bilateral deals makes it a quasi-member of the EEA.

> why in the hell some Swiss think that Europeans (especially those coming from bordering countries) are immigrants is incomprehensible to me...

Because by the formal official definition of the term they are, even if by many people's informal definitions they are not.
I think you have an exceptionally warped idea of how manual photosynth was, or maybe you aren't familiar with it at all.

https://youtu.be/p16frKJLVi0?t=32

The core idea is placing pixels in 3D space, in this case by figuring out the transform of the projections of each image.

This reconstructs a field by taking into account the direction each color is coming from, but the difficult part is getting that information in the first place, which photosynth already did. This paper seems to be organizing that data into a network while claiming that the entire capability and result is new.
I was wondering this myself. Those million line codebases where they are worried about new warnings breaking things should be using a compiler already that doesn't know about the new standard, or one that allows you to set which standard their code is following. I guess I don't understand the problem. Does something like MISRA assume you are using the latest standard? I understand there are regulations involved.
Oh wow i never thought about that and the best thing is i can even share that with other people
Damnn thats a good idea thanks for bringing it up man !!
Definitely not a landlord, so forgive the unfamiliarity:

Are you not able to claim rental property losses if you simply have a tenant who is unable to pay?

---

My model for dealing with a pandemic-induced economic slow-down is that if you can just jump forward til the end, most things will revert to normal (for airline companies but also tenants who can't pay rent)

It's not clear to me that evicting someone and then needing to cut rates to find a new tenant who can afford to rent is a better deal than keeping someone who has fallen on hard times for very straightforward reasons

Most likely because they have complex tentacles that need fine motor control. Their brains developed to control their body. Their eyes seem to be good as well.

Even in human brain huge area of brain dedicated into hands. Human fine motor skill (or dexterity) is superior compared to other apes. We can do small detailed moves. Other apes and monkeys are clumsy.

After the complexity of brain developed to control their dexterity, octopus gets benefit from spatiotemporal intelligence to exploit tentacles in hunting and moving. It's not surprising that intelligence plan and solve problems as well.

> What a truly bizarre article.

Not at all. It would be bizarre if the uses of PDF that the article is meant to address didn't exist, but they do. Just look at https://berkshirehathaway.com for one example.

For a reference, we're a little over a week into the month so far. Yet when I check my browser history for PDFs, there are around 50 entries for August alone. Most of those instances are exactly what the author describes: cases where the format choice led to a worse experience than if that content had existed on a web page instead (or multiple ones). And as annoying as it is to try grappling with the format on a desktop screen, doing it on a smartphone would have been a non-starter, i.e. near 100% bounce rate.
There are multiple methods for automating AWS EC2 instance recovery for instances in the "system status check failed" or "scheduled for retirement event" cases.

Yet to figure out how to test any of those cloudwatch alerts/rules. I've had them deployed in my dev/test environments for months now, after having to manually deal with a handful of them in a short time period. They've yet to trigger once since.

Umbrellas when it's raining etc.
Respecting aside, I don't think we have that much to talk about with other intelligent Earth species.
I don't think you did this intentionally, but you posted two different charts. The Brazil chart is cases per day. The France chart is deaths per day. And so the difference looks extreme. When you just look at deaths per day, Brazil is oscillating around 4 deaths per day while France fell to 0 (per million).
They're definitely not the same, but... idk, they're not stunning differences imo.
And employers will pay the least that they can pay and get people in the door. The least they can possibly pay is lessor if government benefits can be used to make up the difference.

Government benefits lower the floor so low that people literally couldn't live if they were paid solely in wages rather than wages + benefits.
From a linked article:

> The exchange rate of air in the cabin is higher than most other environments, like our home, office, or most other public spaces. “There are between 12 to15 air changes in an hour and 25 to 30 cycles through a HEPA filter,” he said.

I guess I never thought about cabin air that much, this explains why no one gets C02 poisoning on a 14 hour flight.
I couldn't disagree more. On the contrary, there needs to be a Hippocratic Oath for Management, Marketing and CEOs.

No it's really about "internationally recognized human rights and environmental standards" witch should be the standard anyway, with that law you can make those corporations responsible for the shit they do in other country's. ATM that other country have to do it by themselves, an example is Kongo, but they don't do anything for obvious reasons.
For many people, economic history appears to begin with the New Deal, when FDR willed the middle class into existence with a chicken in every pot.

>> Think of it like this if I'm in an industry and polluting the river. Do you want to raise taxes on me so that I stop polluting, or do you want to just make that illegal?

Well, I think that it mostly is illegal right now, but the penalties are either so insignificant as to be considered just an inevitable cost of doing business; and the companies with an incentive to save costs by polluting will support legislation and lawmakers who will do things like dismantle the EPA or eliminate fines for these destructive acts.

I don't think taxes per se are the way to change behavior permanently. I just think it is the easiest way right now to make it so that it is difficult or impossible to make ungodly amounts of money by hurting people and the environment. Ideally we could solve all of these problems without things like taxes or laws but my utopia isn't quite here yet.
> But is it government’s role solely to boost oil company profits?
Or should they consider these against long-term costs incurred by everyone?

We don't live in a world where we get to speculate on what the intended role of government ought to be.

Seriously I'm beyond pissed at the state of Android, patches and open-source compliance. If we are lucky 10% of current phone models will get any form of update. The rest will be vulnerable for years until the devices finally break.

And that's only the Qualcomm stuff. There is another CPU vendor beginning with M who is big in el-cheapo hardware - look at their Android kernel leaks, wherever you dig you find horrid, HORRID code.

Google should mandate full open source disclosure of all GPL'd components as part of the Play Store certification and unlockable bootloaders, otherwise this shit is never going to change.
A very simple answer: Xorg has integrated PostScript support which makes rendering .ps files very easy on Linux. Very few tools were ever developed to do this on Windows, to the extent that using Ghostscript ported from Linux is still a common approach. It's still a pain to deal with PostScript files on Windows, and obvious tricks like using ports of Linux viewers that support .ps generally don't work on Windows because those viewers were just leaning on Xorg to do the hard part.

PDF would have a similar problem, but Adobe leveraged their previous work on other products so they basically already had the rendering engine for Windows and it gained traction there.

Keep in mind that both Postscript and PDF were principally designed by Adobe. Adobe designed both because they were intended for different purposes, and this stands today.
The dark side of this is that evolution works by culling the unfit to survive. Might want to choose another term (or maybe that's exactly what you intended)
At this point I just hope we're able to look back on this period in history at all.
There's another factor worth mentioning:

Europe provides a better social net, and this is funded in larger part by heavier taxes on companies. To encourage entrepreneurship, small companies are exempted from many taxes and regulations, which causes there to be a more prominent cliff as a company grows from small to large.

This is perhaps most noticeable in France, where a lot of stuff kicks in with your 50th employee, and so there are a great deal more companies with 49 employees than 50 employees.

I think a consequence of this is that European entrepreneurs tend not to result in as many large companies as American entrepreneurs, as you'll have more people who stop at a smaller size to avoid the penalties of being large.
It's just an extension of the George W. Bush era where every piece of legislation was required to have an name that was completely the opposite of its intent.

They would write a law allowing mines to dump heavy metal contaminated tailings into the nearby rivers and streams which would be named something ridiculous like the Clean Water Act.

We have finally scaled all the barriers thrown up by local ordinances and regulations, protecting entrenched industries in a sphere of cronyism and exclusion, using regulatory capture to block anyone else from joining their club. Rather than competing on price or quality, they had devolved to just trying to exclude everyone else from their business model, and they were ripe for disruption.

What a glorious day!

Ok, now to start pulling up the ladder behind us.
If you don't make enough to have a place to live, medicine, and food you die or at least your life falls apart. How is that false. Some people make so little money they would at that wage not be able to sustain life. These people sustain themselves via government benefits in addition to wages.
Methane’s global warming impact is front loaded, it breaks down in the atmosphere so in a steady state future leaks only maintain but don’t increase the amount of methane in the atmosphere. In other words there are significant benefits from eventually moving to something else, but little long term advantage due to methane from doing so sooner.

“technically recoverable resources“ is what’s possible to extract at any price making it a very poor measurement of economically viable reserves. Considering natural gas is already more than twice as expensive as solar power it’s primary benefit is flexibility and the limited amount of solar manufacturing currently available.

Further the absolute worst case from known reserves of 92 years worth of natural gas is the equivalent of less than 28 years worth of coal production at those rates. Which means any coal offset with natural gas is at worst equivalent to zero coal in 2048 and very likely significantly better than that.

PS: 1998 methane levels are 5% lower than current levels because we have significantly increased output over the last 20 years. But looking at the graph it’s nothing like a linear increase.

That doesn't seem right. All we hear about is the evangelical support of Trump is unwavering even though he personally violates their expectations of behavior. They see him rewarding them in terms of laws, federal judges, supporting their desires and also the perhaps more complicated support for feeling of white people's power and privilege being under siege.
American progressives hate establishment democrats, thinking they are too market oriented and not sufficiently socialist. They don’t really accept the legitimacy of the democratic primary process when their preferred candidate, Bernie Sanders, is unable to secure the nomination. They believe that his inability to pass legislation, or persuade voters to support him, is a mark of his authenticity. This is highly sarcastic but true.

As someone who is both new to Twitch and uses it for “alternative” content to gaming (eg. music streams, cooking classes, etc), I find this rebranding confusing and poorly timed. Clearly the platform is mostly for gaming, but the pandemic has highlighted Twitch’s ability to become more than just that. It works quite well for live music events, whether it be a single artist playing in their bedroom to 50 people or a full-on live music festival with 30k viewers. I’ve been attending all manner of these streams for months now, and I don’t see them ending soon, or even after the pandemic subsides. It’s a completely new way for artists and producers to engage with audiences. Entire record labels have multiple weekly streams for their content and communities.

I really hope that Amazon sees the platform for these other uses and makes it more friendly for other content producers. Clearly there is both a need and demand for it.

> If I were a woman, I would hate that shit but it seems like most people who comes up with and support ideas like this are either too stupid or too ignorant to care.

So if they don't do what you would prefer, they're too stupid or too ignorant to care? What about if they're perfectly smart and perfectly aware, and just aren't concerned with doing what you personally want? Maybe you feel differently from most people, which is great and nice and perfectly fine, but you speculating about what you would want if you were a woman isn't exactly a clear indication of what is actually best right now, and what women want.

EDIT: And to be fair, you don't know how you'd feel about this as a woman, because you don't identify as one (presumably).
Anecdote : I had a mate who was a paramedic; called to a junkies house he noted a tarantula in a tank and felt terribly sorry for it - so bought it for £10. It lived for many years in it's flat, and it hid from people who it didn't know - but if you were calm and waited for it to try its courage, the after a while it would come and inspect you . Should you act kindly to it, well then for ever afterwards it would come out and greet you when you entered the room. I got the idea that it was a "personal" organism - it had an idea of others, and itself.
