ok - here's a better example - skillful drivers on a highway can predict when another driver might change lanes just from the "body language" of that car. It's pretty subtle and I don't think all human drivers can recognize it, much less SOA AI.

Along the same vein, most drivers will become extra vigilant of another car that's driving in a way that's the least bit erratic, giving that car a wide berth.

No framework that acts like Rails should be considered a stable stack.

If the answer to the question of "will it be supported in 5 years" is no, it can never be considered a "stable stack".
You have a condo, so the 400v is because the building is being supplied with three-phase power - 63A gives you a total of 25KW which is certainly a lot, but normal residential service is usually 240V @ 100A because of HVAC needs so it’s really more or less the same.

RCD breakers really are a wonderful thing though, I had my second small fridge knocked out because I had accidentally hit the test button of the outlet near the kitchen sink that the dining room outlet was fed from - having it at the breaker makes it a whole lot less confusing and removes the searching for the protected outlet conundrum.
You don’t need to lower the optimization level to see what happens at the call site: you can turn the function ‘blub’ into a function prototype. The optimizer cannot in-line your code if it isn’t available.

The thing about autocracies is that they look incredibly stable until the crack appears in the right place, and then everything suddenly falls apart all at once. When Bouazizi set himself on fire, it merited a small sidebar with a sad note that nothing was likely to come of it... and the Tunisian dictator fled the country within 3 weeks. Romania's dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu probably sets the record for speed, going from unassailable to captured and on trial in just 3 days.

Can't let post-modernism and critical race theory off the hook.

Objectively, the statement was not racist and it should not be offensive to anyone. However, objective thought is not in favor anymore as it is associated with whiteness. We must accept the subjective view of the victims as paramount.
Yeah with coronavirus and all, but I did before as well. Generally it's about 2 hours a day, but I work intensely in those hours. I never go over 4, as a general principle. Again, this isn't really comparable to office hours, as most people don't work non-stop (with short breaks of course) or as intensely, so I do finish much faster than my other in person and colleagues.
I don't think it could work that way.

In printing with an engraved plate the ink is spread out over the engraving and then the surface of the plate is wiped with a rag.

The printed image is a result of the ink that remained in the etched grooves without being wiped off. I don't see any way you could mix colors on a single plate without it becoming a blurry mess.

I'm thinking maybe the outlines were printed in a single color and then the colors were hand-painted in the book itself, sort of like 'paint by numbers.'

Resurface best quotes from famous books on Telegram
I recently found this project and I'm very excited about this DIY portable Linux computer trend and hope some of them graduate to mainstream. N-O-D-E recently announced one [1] and there is another RPi zero based phone project on Crowd Supply[2].

The reason I want a portable Linux handheld computer is, because the direction in which smartphones are moving towards is frightening to say the least. Smartphones are essentially mobile computers and for many parts of the world the first computing experience. COVID-19 situation has shown how mobile computing has been taken for granted and misery of those who have no access to it[3].

Can we imagine a computer manufacturer selling $2000 computer which will receive security updates for only 3 years if lucky, can't install alternate operating systems or software of our choice? Then why are we providing smartphone manufacturers with such privileges? With that unfair advantage they are dictating mobile computing for the entire world. I'm afraid it's just a matter of time, when this trend scale up and affects overall computing in general.

> and she's in exile for good reason

And the reason is, that Belarus secret services abducted her on the day of the election, and brought her to the border with Lithuania the next morning.

The foreign minister of Lithuania later confirmed, that her arrival to Lithuania was coordinated with Belarus, not with her. She wouldn't say anything about what happened.

It was the smartest move for Lukashenka: he could neither arrest her, nor let her stay in Belarus, if he wanted to try to avoid the protests. The best option was to make it look like she just ran away, leaving everyone who voted for her to fight for themselves.

I wouldn't be surprised, if the same happens with other Belarus opposition leaders during the next 72 hours.

That's trivially disproven.

On the other hand, three[3] of the top five conservative states do have "strict age cutoffs".

I think you're making your own counterargument: if you prioritize civil discourse, you necessarily exclude radicals - you've limited the space of discourse by insisting that the only acceptable propositions are those that people can reliably be civil about. Fewer people were making extreme claims, but many of those extreme claims could have been debated rationally, were people interested in doing so. It is a Potemkin discourse: it looks very peaceful and respectable, but it looks that way because it's artificially removed from actually discussing the state of our society.

So, I am happy to engage you in debate, and I'll even do your job for you by trying to precisely name the propositions that you think are so obviously incorrect.

Most of the hits I see for "milk is racist" is about the alt-right using milk drinking as essentially an aesthetic symbol, which seems like a) a factual observation b) not a claim about milk itself being racist, but about its adoption as a racist symbol.

I see a 2016 CNN article called "math is racist," which, if you read it, is clearly arguing that mathematical models are being used in ways that reinforce racism, not that the brute facts of mathematics are themselves racist, either. This argument is generally widely accepted, so I'm curious if you disagree with it.

I can't find any articles about interior design being racist, but I do see articles about the interior design industry confronting race problems. This doesn't sound surprising or extreme either - I'd expect that most industries have race problems of some sort.

You'll note that I have not called you bigot, racist, fascist, nor xenophobia [sic], and I'd appreciate if you returned the favor and engaged my arguments on the merits.

no hope. What you'd want to punish them for, in some specific places are considered as the skills in high demand. At the end they will run, say for example, to Russia, like this one for example from the Ukraine security forces:

" the former Berkut riot-police commander in connection with the lethal suppression of the 2013-14 Euromaidan protests. Yet in Moscow, Kusyuk is now a colonel in the Russian Interior Ministry's OMON force and was seen on August 3 overseeing the arrests of demonstrators calling for fair municipal elections in the capital."
> in response of having "lost" Ukraine following a pro-west colored revolution, that had probably helped by foreign interests

By that line of logic, the U.S. "lost" Western Europe at the end of World War II, Mongolia lost Russia after Genghis Khan died and Belarus should return to the dominions of Kiev [1] and Warsaw [2].

It isn't until almost the 19th century, under Catherine the Great, that what is today Belarus fell under Moscow's control [3].

I agree with you to the extent that so-called ‘photo-journalism’ is far more editorial and subjective than widely thought.

However, journalists absolutely believe in a number of values and, as a whole, hold themselves to them. There exist a number of articles which stand as culturally important works of nonfiction. We are going to have significantly less of those, and a lot more blunders like the Bloomberg chip thing because the structures are gone.

Fundamentally, I sense you just have something against the idea of expertise and ordained authority. I get that. It’s ridiculous that the Academy Awards are seen as an authoritative measurement of how good films are. But that doesn’t eliminate the wide spectrum of sophistication and depth that is much more than a TED Talk dopamine hit.

The incentives and security required for in-depth, long-term reporting are gone. That’s bad.
On the other hand news photographers can frame things to their POV. Not that nothing can be neutral, but certainly photographers are known for POV or timing that enhance a narrative.

The Kobo Aura One seems discontinued. They have a Kobo Nia, but it looks seems terrible (just like the entry-level Kindle). The Kobo Clara is $120 [0], so that's the one going up against the Paperwhite.

I'm ashamed to admit I've never considered using a Kobo, but looking into it, damn. The Kobo's lighting color is adjustable, so no more of that garish blue light. And it supports ePUB files natively. The bezel seems a lot thinner. The only feature it's lacking is it isn't waterproof.

Meanwhile, the Kobo Libra H2O is $170, and is waterproof, has page-turn buttons, and a larger screen.

Since I usually strip DRM (getting harder to do), and even sometimes edit eBooks to strip out the shite publishers add to it (like reading samples for other books, I mean WTF), the ePUB support would be extremely useful.

> I also think that there is a strange magical thinking-esque hang-up against any UI that can't be drawn in a terminal.

There's nothing magical about it.

I prefer text based interfaces whenever available as they are generally more responsive, light on resources, use less network bandwidth, and are inherently compatible with SSH. They also tend to be very minimal, having far fewer extraneous features (ie fiddly distractions) due to the inherent design constraints.

If one isn't available though then I'm happy to use a modern GUI (my web browser is an example). In fact, GUIs consistently seem to be more newbie friendly so if it's a one off I might actually avoid a text based interface just to save time.

Came to post. Teenagers aren't the totally irrational monsters television/media makes them out to me, necessarily. As one could guess, they're very much a reflection of their parents' investment in their emotional health and growth.

Purely anecdotally, none of the children I've been around that had thoughtful/respectful/logical parents have gone through the mindless rebellion phase - they've all been very level headed reasonable people in their teens. On the flipside, all of the children of mindless authoritarian parents have gone kinda wild pretty much as soon as they developed the agency to do so. It's kind of sad that (at least in the US) we've painted teenagers as some kind of psychotic monster that needs tamed.
Not the USA for sure. One reason taxes are complicated and full of loopholes is to allow rich people to game their taxes and pay next to nothing. They have enough power and influence and their incentive is to keep things as they are: complicated.

Machine Elves and a Journey into the DMT Spirit World
From the update:

Our team has been hard at work making improvements to our options offering and we would like to share some of them with you today. Many of the updates are already live in your app and we have even more coming soon. Here are some highlights:

We’ve added the ability to exercise contracts in the app: Instead of contacting support to exercise contracts, you can now exercise your long contracts from your options position screens. Additionally, with instant exercise, funds and shares from exercises are available immediately during market hours.

We’ve included new guidance to help with early assignment scenarios: If you have an early assignment, a new resolution flow will help guide you through the potential actions of exercising contracts or trading shares to resolve an account deficit. You can now also buy shares in the app if you’re in a short position due to an early assignment.

We’re making buying power easier to understand: We've begun rolling out updates to how buying power is shown in the app. Instead of showing negative buying power, we’ll show your account deficit amount and the actions you can take to resolve your deficit based on your trading situation.

We’re continuing to expand our options education resources: You can read about advanced options strategies and topics like early options assignments in our Help Center right now, and we’ll be adding more resources in the future.

Belarus’s human rights abuses and crimes against humanity (as defined by the ICC) are highly relevant no matter whether its government signed the statute or not, or whether its government trolls consider it a “toy court”.
What worries me more (in the US) is the number of voters on the right who either don't care or actively support the increasingly blatant fascism of the current regime. Even if Trump loses in November, those people won't just go away. We're going to be fighting fascism at home for a very long time.
> "...utterly spineless, pathetic response from a risk averse management type..."

the same thing happens with the corona responses of universities. colleges could open with distancing rules, sensible mask usage (inside, not outside), testing, and swift quarantine. that would basically eliminate spread in the learning environment.

the problem, of course, is outside the learning environment, where students will inevitably let their guards down and mix unsafely, but that's not the purview of the university. these are (young) adults, and the university's responsibilities end at the campus edge. what the university can do is refuse access to the infected on campus (in conjunction with plentiful testing), and provide swift and compassionate support for students who do get infected (and can't come on campus), without overstepping into paternalism.

then the responsible students will have access to the education they desire (and paid for), while the irresponsible will be denied (temporarily, likely having to repeat a semester or even a year). this will incentivize good behavior without resorting to autocratic mismanagement like this.
There's a common strain of thought in the US that it's actually a sign of maturity to be pained and upset by words. Immature people, the theory goes, don't have enough empathy to understand why a common word in a foreign language could be so hurtful.

I was asking after the etymology, actually; were whoever coined the term aware of the meaning in Chinese? (Compare eg pagerank or bakers' chocolate elsewhere in thread - named after a proper noun, but the term as used is a description - but in this case it would be the reverse - named after a description, but the term as used references a proper noun.) Rereading I agree that wasn't obvious, though.
