This is ridiculous and yet another demonstration of the absurdity that they try to sell as US "justice" system.

So let's summarize.

1) Guy is looking for adults on an adult page

2) Adult women(24) with an adult picture says she is 13

3) Guy probably thinks like "okay, doesn't look 13". Which arguably is stupid, given that US citizens should know how stupid the US is when it comes to minors.

4) Talks more

5) Women says again she is 13

6) They agree to meet anyway

7) Guy drives to her home and she greets him. She is obviously a grown women.

8) Guy gets arrested for child rape

Yeah sounds about right.
God bless America!

So let's rewrite the story a bit:

1) Guy is looking for some mint on craigslist

2) When asking the seller why the mint "makes people high", the seller says it's actually weed.

3) Guy thinks, okay, doesn't look like weed, it looks like fucking mint

4) Guy says, I will buy this mint anyway, looks like mint

5) Seller says again "Dude, it's fucking weed, but okay"

6) Seller sells the mint

7) Guy receives the mint in his mailbox and opens it

8) Cool it's mint, smells of mint, looks like mint.

9) Guy gets arrested for drug possession

Erm what?

In the real world, that cop should have been suspended for false advertising and the seller's account as well.

Good thing the world has no other problems...

This, I am afraid, represents a rather naïve view of 13-year-olds.
The automatic assumption between “smart” and “rich” is a link made by stupid people or the just plain intellectually lazy.

I’ve met smart people who enjoy intellectual challenge but are low in industriousness so don’t desire the process of monitizing the intellect

Smart people who are low in orderliness so they are too chaotic to focus enough to monitize.

Smart people who have particular skills that a capitalistic society doesn’t value.

And what is the definition of “smart” here? The article spouting off IQ numbers is the bare minimum effort to try and quantise something that in reality has multiple dimensions - fluid intelligence, domain knowledge, wisdom, originality, creativity, all of which are dimensions of smart but not always connected to wealth

All that “Smart == Rich” does is create entitlement and bitterness among the lazy intellectuals and should be stamped out - if you want to be rich, being smart can help, but so much more is required.
As a counterpoint, those 30% account for more than just processing fees. Why should the average consumer be tasked with deciding whether a given cut is reasonable without knowing what that cut actually goes to?

I wonder when Facebook and Google will stop shooting themselves. They are in the same boat as they are web 2.0. If they manage to kill the web Google and Facebook will die.
>"Lead zirconate titanate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Pb[ZrxTi1−x]O3 (0≤x≤1). Also called lead zirconium titanate, it is a ceramic perovskite material that shows a marked piezoelectric effect, meaning that the compound changes shape when an electric field is applied."

Here's my curiousity:

We've assumed thus far in Physics, that the piezoelectric effect causes materials that are piezoelectric in nature to change shape, to bend, when electricity is applied.

But...

What if that was not true...

What if the piezoelectric material -- doesn't change shape at all, when electricity is applied?

How would this be possible?

What if, what really happens, is that the piezoelectric material retains its exact same shape -- but the space around it, containing it, is bent -- by the electricity?

Sort of like a lensing effect caused by the electricity.

First you look at the piezoelectric material one way, then you apply electricity, and it appears to bend out of shape (much in the same way a properly shaped mirror or lens could accomplish the same perceptual effect).

But what might actually be happening is that the space around and in the object -- might be getting bent by the application of electricity to it...

Yes, I know!

Sounds like a crackpot theory, in fact, probably is a crackpot theory(!) <g> -- but perhaps this idea is worth exploring...

(Note To Future Self: Investigate this idea further...)

> However the article is a bit click-baity as it was really about a decrease in sales for Tesla due to the pandemic, not because someone else outsold them.

I doubt you read the same article as me, because a) the article quite clearly states that the Renault Zoe dominates sales, b) Tesla doesn't even feature in the top 10 of EV sales in Europe, c) the analyst quoted in the newspiece stated that "Some of this can be explained by issues relating to the production continuity in California, but also by high competition from brands that play as locals in Europe.”

Electricity generated from the free 'fuel' of renewables costs nothing to mine, nothing to nothing to refine, very little to transport.

In line with the laws of physics, 'cheaper' is the only possible conclusion. The 'on-demand' 24/7 part arrives once the reality-distortion field is dropped and we commit to solving the storage problem.

Like turbines and panels, storage won't be up-front cheap, but done right it'll be amortized over centuries. The built-in fuel-cost savings will quickly pay for that ... and over that time the costs to humanity and to the planet will plummet. A no-brainer long-term investment.
Not even close even glass fiber / cf nylon won’t be as strong as modern injected plastic where you can do fiber flow simulations before molding it.

Also almost all current fiber filament is well meh the fibers are way too short for them to matter in fact they might result in weaker prints.

There are commercial 3D printers that impregnate the fiber at printing which allow you to lay very long and even do single continuous fiber prints but these aren’t available for hobby use.
Sentences that are too short, or too long, are both a byproduct of a lack of latitude on the part of the judge to apply reason and common sense. Our system a judge's "bias", but then end we up with a bureaucracy instead of a human who can see nuance.

Mandatory minimum sentences have the same effect. The prosecutor uses the fear of the sentence to get a guilty plea and negotiates a plea bargain. This means people who should have gotten a fair trial in front of a judge and a jury are scared into pleaing guilty and letting the prosecutor decide how much time they will do by framing the plea offer. We bother to have judges to prevent this stuff, and should use them.

Mandatory minimum sentences have the same effect

Any company that has an operating entity in an EU country must comply or risk being fined by regulators.

If the target is big enough, EU regulators will ask for help from other countries.

Zoom operates offices in a few EU countries[0] so they'll definitely have some sort of entity(ies) setup - regulation pressure can be applied.

I agree with your statements about the non government sector and other items; however, I still don't follow your line of argumentation.

My understanding of why the US can print money without regard for consequences is because there are always "buyers" for US dollars, b/c countries need US Dollars to carry out business (e.g. China in order to maintain their export driven economy or the fact that the USD is used as the standard unit of currency in international markets for commodities such as gold and petroleum). Yes, there are technically other currencies that are part of the foreign exchange reserves, but none as prevalent as the USD.

As I understand it, this demand for US dollars is what allows USD to remain the dominant reserve currency and why when the US prints money it does not result in catastrophic inflation. If a country like Argentina tries to do what the US does it won't work out, because there is no demand for Argentinian dollars.

The conclusion I'm left with is that the balance sheet is largely irrelevant until the demand for US Dollar decreases. The real question in my mind is exactly what would cause that to occur? Most everything I read is that the network effect of the USD causes everyone to continue to use it, but perhaps something like a war between the US and China might be a precipitating event to decreased demand?

PETG isn’t that great tends to deform less and shatter more, ASA is better if you need temperature resistance and is only slightly more expensive than PETG these days and it’s also much more machineable.

PLA these days also has quite decent temperature resistance in filaments that were designed for that, but even the most generic stuff should be ok for most electronic applications there shouldn’t be a spot that goes over 45c her alone 60-70 where you really begin to see issue.

I disagree. There is so much boilerplate involved with managing concurrency in golang compared to Java. It's very error prone in practice and difficult to extend and manage. golang has nothing remotely close to `java.util.concurrent`.
I'm sure Zoom would be doing privacy-iffy things even if in full compliance with the GDPRAnd the possibility they might be surveying other cookies, and uploading them elsewhere, would be a giant concern if verified.

But the specific complaint here, about a cookie with an expiration longer-than-12-months, seems pretty silly.

It's not stored on some remote machine - it's stored locally, transparently. The user – and their own software – can control this easily & completely. If there's a good rationale for expiring cookies earlier, a browser can easily do it directly - it needn't involve regulators, or ineffectually hoping every one of thousands of different companies/websites do something the laws of one place ask.

This is like a cop posing as a cow and trying to say on "slaughterYourCowToday.com": "Hey look, I am actually a real human being, please don't slaughter me"... But hey, the picture of that cow shows a freakin cow. Now the guy drives to the farm and is greeted by a fucking cow. He takes a gun and tries to shoot the cow. But the police rolls in and arrests him for attempted murder...

Yeah sounds like justice to you?

What is jarring to me are always the anachronisms. E.g. while I can imagine that some form of short "bro" could have existed earlier, when I read the line using "sushi" I can't help but remembering that "sushi" didn't exist until recently. Then I feel cheated, knowing that the original form said something with the different meaning, and I'm aware that I can't know what it is reading the "modern" "retelling".

Another anachronism I remember: in another otherwise easy to read translation of an antique text (as is, originally written around 2000 years ago) the translator decided to regularly use the word "sadistic" which is constructed from the name of a real person living less than 300 years ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquis_de_Sade

Otherwise, modernizing meter (moving to another, more suitable to the the language of the new version, or even doing away with it if the goal is just to retell the story in a more approachable way, with the acceptance that it would simply be too clumsy in the target language) I consider very acceptable.
So she was in fact as she doubtless appeared to him on video, a woman 120% his age, not someone aged 65% of his age.

In more typical cases it’s pretty clear cut.

Suppose you just finished working out in the gym, you’re in the locker room getting dressed, and you see a wallet and decide to steal it. Much to your dismay, when you get back to your car and look through the wallet you find your own ID and realize it’s your own wallet that you took. Well, despite your intention to commit a crime no crime has in fact taken place. You’re perfectly within your rights to take your own wallet home with you from the gym, even if you think you’re being sneaky about it.

This concept has a proper name in the law: actus reus [1]. Along with mens rea, it forms a two-part test to determine whether a crime has been committed in common law.

You've asked this around different places, and it's been answered. Those ads are not digital purchases made by users. They're ads. Please edit your posts and point out that this has been answered now and you understand that ads are not the same thing. But of course, if you want to keep bashing Apple and muddy the waters, continue on.

Also, Facebook is going to find their ads are less effective in the next release of iOS, as they won't be able to track people as easily.
I believe a decrease in sales due to the pandemic wouldn’t only affect Tesla. It affects every car manufacturer.

So yes, Renault outsold Tesla :)
As with a lot of IKEA product names, this references what the product is: 'bygg' is 'build', and 'lek' is 'play'.
One interesting way to look at this is as a bit twiddling puzzle. The "N /= 2 if even" step is removing all the rightmost 0s in the binary representation. The remaining bits on the left have "(N << 1) + N + 1" applied. Wonder if the behavior of those remaining bits can be broken down into a finite set of conditions and be shown to eventually yield a power of 2.
Fair enough. It’s dead simple in rxjs too, but they lack concrete examples which has held back the library. Thanks for the detailed thoughts.

I expect that the translator, being an expert user of multiple languages[1], was very aware of all the surface-level meanings of the language (and many others besides), and made many complex and well-thought-through compromises, as is always necessary when translating (not to mention regular writing).

You're right, I checked and Zoom does have offices in Paris and Amsterdam.

I suppose then they have the choice of doing Google's playbook in China and just close their EU offices if they wanted, instead of complying. I mean, China wanting censorship and EU wanting GDPR aren't any different. Without arguing for or against either, China's censorship and GDPR are both local laws and foreign-based companies with no local offices don't need to comply. Foreign companies may be blocked, that's all.

Not that I'm advocating for Zoom violating privacy, but I'm not in support of EU unilaterally setting rules for the world or their right to police EU laws outside their borders. They should set up a GFW if they don't like certain things being sent into their country borders over the web, but they can't tell me what to do if I haven't set foot in their jurisdiction. (Neither can Iran, Russia, or North Korea, so why does EU get a pass to police you? If Kim Jong Un sent you a fine for $1 million would you pay it?)

Perhaps.

Still incorrect to my understanding of how English works.
