The connector bears the name WELL-SHIN, and a UL approval number E115330. Those match and check with the UL database.[1] Well-Shin is a company in Taiwan. Revenue about US$160 million. The part number, WS-111, is the connector only, not the cable assembly.[2]

Well-Shin makes cables, connectors, and all the small metal parts for people assembling cables. Their own line of cables is here.[1] They make some common cables, and this one isn't on their list. The connectors are.

But it's a moulded cable, at least at the plug end. The wires are connected to the metal parts and the housing is injection-molded around it. Only the connector manufacturer can do that. Question: is the twist-lock end also a molded connector? If it is, WELL-SHIN made this, or the whole thing is counterfeit. Either way, report it to UL. They track counterfeits.

If it's not a molded connector, someone cut the end off an extension cord and put that connector on.

> competed US leadership could invite China on the ISS.

And then what, watch the CCP trample HongKong, run massive internment camps, and threaten Taiwan with total destruction? China's (CCP's) values are wholly different from the free world's; I can't think of a way to co-exist when they can get upset for even just news reporting.

The west has pumped hundreds of billions of dollars into a dictatorship and they're building a powerful military with it. And Europe mostly hasn't even woken up to this yet.

My favorite part is you can drag the portfolio image around when focused (this particular interaction feels pretty modern tho, reminds me of some fun interactions found on https://cargo.site/In-Use)
I don’t think speaking Arabic natively would make that much of a difference. Quranic Arabic is roughly as close to the various Arabic “dialects” as Latin is to the Romance languages. I’d new very impressed with someone who spoke Italian memorizing the Aeneid and figuring out what was going on purely from that.
Well, none of those are very deadly most of the time and they don't put human life into the hands of algorithms.
At around 20-25 years old, I felt a strong need to be out making a life for myself. I moved around, met people, and started my career.

Now that I have kids I can certainly see the appeal of living with or close to parents.

I think having a clean break around 18 years old is a good idea for many people. See what it takes to be self-sufficient when you have lots of energy and no kids.
I'm sure this is unpopular opinion. My kids are grown up now and I can relate to both sides. But what's wrong is that companies focus on benefits that only help in their talent branding and being politically correct. Me having kids was a choice and it's a commitment same as starting a business. So not providing fair and equal benefits to all is an issue. As a parent to teenagers I still get the same paid time off as parents with newborns or toddlers which is unfair.
For EU-citizens, any legal data collection would have to be opt-in, right? If I've had no business with any of these companies, there should be no reason for me to have to opt-out.
> Clearly Google Maps has the ability to turn into a feedback loop.

Google and yandex average traffic by hour, they don't factor in their own users. That would be double counting and assuming that they are the only service.
Despite this, loads of companies still do opt-out with impunity.
My family left India 5 generations ago, in the late 1800s. We also had the “advantage” of being “separated” so our “Indian” culture was maintained. Most of us who made it here and stayed were probably not from upper castes. But there always was a strong link and loyalty to the motherland at least until my grandfather’s generation. You can probably guess where I’m from.

The first thing our people lost here was the language. Amazingly, Tamillians speak English in the fast-merged way Tamil is spoken but they speak absolutely no Tamil. Same goes for north-Indian language speakers. Now even the accent is being lost as the most superior accent in this country is obviously the one maintained by the ruling class (white).

Then, clothing. Our traditional dress became considered inferior for everyday use and only gaudy dress for weddings and other functions remain.

Now, my grandmother who looked after her father in law and changed his diapers on his deathbed is completely abandoned. She is so distraught because the generation of my parents is the first to break a pact that I assume goes back millennia in Indian culture; that children will care directly for elders (no old age homes).

It’s interesting however that the social-religious aspects of Indian culture from the late 1800s have been quite meticulously maintained, although there is little impetus for philosophy.

It is, however, still uncommon for Indian unmarried children to live with anyone other than parents.

The first time I visited India I was completely abhorred, for many reasons. I was extremely sure that I am not an Indian. But after living there for many years I can say that most differences between the west and India in this regard comes from the importance in India of the group over the individual, a situation which (seems to me) to be reversed in the west. And there are deep cultural values which exist in me to this day which emanate from India and I have been lucky enough to realise.

I have acknowledged that a large part of my personal life will be reconciling these two men that meet within me, the westerner and the Indian...

I have seen people memorizing these rare words before SAT. They passed the test but the whole exercise still appeared useless. They were not to start using these words, they just memorized them and we're conscious about not using them.

It was not proper language learning at all, that one looks completely differently.
Also if you plug the other end into a live circuit, or the circuit subsequently becomes live, you can make it a murder-suicide.
Same in Dutch, I assume because of the possibility of just adding an "e" or a "t" to most words to score its points again.

I have a short adapter like this for my dual boiler espresso machine. You can configure the machine to allow both boilers to come on simultaneously, which brings the machine up to temperature faster, but requires a 20 amp circuit, or you can configure it to only allow one boiler to be on at a time (alternating between the two, when necessary), which takes longer to warm up initially, but allows you to use a 15 amp circuit.

The machine has a 20 amp plug, because it's physically capable of drawing 20 amps. I have a 15 amp circuit, so I took extra care to enable the 15 amp mode and verify that it was working as intended.

These cables can be okay to use if you understand what you're doing and are not violating the rules. They're obviously not supposed to be used to blindly ignore the wire or breaker ratings.

It's like using `unsafe` in Rust. You're still absolutely not allowed to dereference null, even though you might be able to. You're telling the compiler, "I know you can't verify that what I'm doing is safe, but I promise that I've checked it, and it's fine." That's the same deal you're making when you use one of these cables.
For anyone as unfamiliar with the term RCD as I was until now, it is the same thing that in the US we typically call a GFCI or GFI (ground-fault circuit interrupter):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

These are usually built into the electrical outlet (or one outlet may provide the GFCI/RCD for several connected outlets). A whole-house RCD as described above would be a wonderful thing.
If the drop and rise of PM2.5 levels ends up being found to correlate strongly with the drop and possible rise of heart attack hospital admits during the pandemic, there’s going to be a reckoning in the car, truck, and asphalt industries.

If y’all know anyone with a hospital or clinic or degree in medicine, make sure they have a PM2.5 meter running and uploading data to whatever. There’ll be a lot of research studies that need as much of that data as we can collect, and outdoor sensors are cheap.

Yet, you omit the Chinese leadership that's where the problem really lies. The CCP has a Han-supremacy drug problem and President Xi intends to steer towards a singular vision, whether the world agrees with it or not.
It's kinda important to note why they have been barred. They broke international space laws and were caught hacking JPL. Additionally china's space program is tightly tied to their milliary unlike NASA, ESA, JAXA, CSA, and Roscosmos.

Here's the fix to e-mail: Centralization.

You can't curb abuse in a federated model. This is an issue that's been plaguing the fediverse as well. IRC networks, though not federated, have had to each individually ban spammers and other problematic users.

I've not read her book (though it's going on my list), but the second citation in your first comment suggests that it's just on the research side that they should abandon current classifications, but that the DSM definitions are still needed on the clinical side.

Does she propose a better classification system, something like what she'd replace it with in the next DSM if it were up to her? Because if we don't yet know how to split current ASD diagnoses into more specific classifications, isn't it better to have this rough grouping than to say "this person has an unknown disorder"?

To be even more pedantic, there's nothing stopping you from using VMDK (or other disk images like VDI, VHD, raw/dd, etc) files as a container (like tar or zip), other than some extra overhead.

"DeleteMe, PrivacyDuck, OneRep, Reputation Defender and Reputation.com all offer different opt-out services. However, these are not comprehensive, as some data brokers do not allow third parties to remove listings."

I’m pretty sure I could tow a car with my outdoor power cord/reel.

Or for that matter, with my jumper cables. I paid around $5 more for these monsters than the option next to them, which was flimsy, ridiculously short, and barely had claws. $5. It took me two seconds to make that decision and another 30 to stand there making sure I didn’t misread the prices and then trying to figure out why the others even existed.

Not sure about denmark, but California is not building enough homes which is why prices are so high. The few homes available are all going to the slivers of the economy that can afford to spend $700k on a rotting 800 sqft bungalow without a foundation ordered from the Sears catalog in 1946.

Objects don't have to have mutable state. And even if they do, it can be unobservable. This is true "state encapsulation" but the OOP definition of encapsulation does not require this. Such objects are still very useful as "first-class modules", i.e. modules that can be passed around and switched at runtime.

You are right.

Yes, time of day actually matters greatly since it depends on UVB exposure. Here's some classic research from 1988 discussing the topic:

Webb, A. R., L. Kline, and M. F. Holick. “Influence of Season and Latitude on the Cutaneous Synthesis of Vitamin D3: Exposure to Winter Sunlight in Boston and Edmonton Will Not Promote Vitamin D3 Synthesis in Human Skin.” The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism 67, no. 2 (August 1988): 373–78. https://doi.org/10.1210/jcem-67-2-373.

my argument is that internet is necessary if that is your goal

Only 60% or so of the world's population have access to the Internet.[1] And that's using a definition of "Internet user" as "used the Internet in the past 3 months" which isnt really conducive to a global viral movement.
