China's per capita CO2 emissions are still 1/2 that of the U.S. More importantly, neither the Chinese government nor powerful Chinese politicians deny anthropogenic climate change. And they've recently recommitted to nuclear energy expansion despite growing public fear after Fukushima and a subsequent rise in costs as Chinese regulatory policies became more strict.

Part of the reason for the gap in nuclear construction in recent years, separate from Fukushima, seems to have been growing trade tensions with the U.S. Now that construction and approvals have resumed, it seems like China has decided to ditch almost all foreign designs and only build their "homegrown" AP1000 derivative. Unlike American politicians, Chinese politicians haven't forgotten the art of turning lemons into lemonade. Nuclear, solar, electric cars--they're using the transition to bolster and develop their industrial sectors. As countries should be making many of these investments anyhow to hedge and supplement the often myopic and short-sighted pursuits of the free market, the net costs to abandoning the fossil fuel economy can be significantly reduced. (In retrospect the contracts for American nuclear plants were probably handouts, anyhow, intended to mitigate balance of trade tensions. But with all goodwill having been burned to ash by the current administration, not to mention the collapse of the American nuclear construction industry, it became a pointless gesture.)
I guess much of what I'm saying counts on hard determinism, and computation that isn't limited to what can be achieved with boolean logic. I'm talking out my ass here a little, but I picture quantum annealing as a form of computation where quantum physics effects are the actual execution engine.
> Roy Kim knew back in December that something had changed.

I feel like it's a clown land.

No one except a few people around the world knew anything might be up in December. The first death was reported in January.

But Vox can't challenge an Asian restaurant owner over a timeline because of white privilege I assume.
> The tories were also voted in with nuclear power in their manifesto, albeit only in one small section.

I'll bet my life that fewer than 10% of the people who voted Conservative last December had any idea what the manifesto said about nuclear power.

(I don't mean this as a jibe at Tories in particular; my point is just that no-one reads manifestos, and even fewer people bother to learn about the finer details of their party's nuclear policy in an election that's completely dominated by one issue [Brexit])
hi thanks for the feedback really appreciate it! The currency converter automatically changes to the website visitors' region. TBH, we haven't had a huge amount of enquiries from Indian customers but we actually do ship it there, for the trouble here is a 15% off coupon (FUNNY15%!). I've set up shipping to India so pls let me know if you would still like to purchase. Thanks
It's unfortunate that people read articles like this, but it's more unfortunate that people write them in the first place.

Moreover, I don't really believe the primary sources in this article.
>I can’t help but feel like articles like this are an attempt to racialize Asians and make them identify as a marginalized minority group, instead of as individuals who are in the process of achieving upward mobility. Calling the long-standing economic trends a “myth” is borderline deceptive and risky. Clearly something is working. But if you make people think that it isn’t working, you might inadvertently break it.

Economically us asians are doing quite well but that's not the only aspect of racism that exists. We're marginalized in different ways. It's hard to put into words what this is exactly. Quantitatively you can see an aspect of this in low asian representation in Hollywood but it's much more deeper than that. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsWTFeP1hno&t=3s

As you can see from the video it's not even about economics. It's something else that's deeper because the most insidious thing about it is that huge amount of Asian women sort of have this attitude against their own race as well. It's a subtle sentiment that no one really talks about so it comes out in different ways.

The examples are related to dating but I'm not talking about dating specifically. There is something going on terms of class divide and perspective that is influencing the dating game as a side effect. We talk about class in terms of money but clearly something else is going on with class here that is seperate from money.

It's really something that's hard to pinpoint and as a result I feel a lot of articles like this are written in place of the actual problem.
First of all, congratulations, I'm sure these are exciting times!

One question, if I got it right, at least some of these features overlap with nextcloud. Why should I pay for your solution if nextcloud offers something at least very similar for free?
I bet the same. I'm not sure that hard determinism could ever be proven, even if it were the case.

Big Changes to the Oil Language
Funny, my wife was put on Cymbalta for a bit and the side effects were absolutely the worst. Then, she started tapering off and things got so much worse -- brain zaps, nausea, starry vision. We even got the drug compounded to a comically small dose to taper with even smaller steps, and it didn't really help.

So, while your advice isn't wrong, drugs work differently for people. Great for some people, terrible for others.

My wife would probably rank being on Cymbalta as the worst time of her life hands down.

"Frozen Shoulder"

My mom had it over a decade ago when she was under 60. I saw her in constant pain and it really hurt. She used to get physical therapy, tons of professional heat therapy and forced stretching as well. It lasted for about a year and it went away. She is much older now but that thing hasn't come back yet. I can understand his pain even though I cannot feel it.

A few years ago, I made the switch from Jekyll to Hugo for various sites I've been developing. It was the best decision I ever made for that side web-dev career I'm entertaining.

Jekyll, to me, is a DIY tool; it's clunky and obscure and you only make it happen with your pliers and your hammer -- you can achieve nice little projects quite fast, but once you go for a more elaborate structure your work starts falling apart.
Hugo is more like a construction company with very-well organized architects. Its logic is relentless, yet it is an incredible powerful tool once you master it -- and honestly the video tutorials by Mike Dane and documentation at gohugo.io are really well-made and if you're switching to Hugo, you should dedicate one day to watch the courses and RTFM.

The quality of the template from which you start might indeed be very determining of future success/frustration. Just don't rush it, you'll get there.
The US has built many nuclear plants in modern times and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, they are all in naval warships. I wish the same political will could be applied to civilian nuclear research at least.
Another way to look at it is, they cannot be nicely boxed into a big voting block, so they don't get campaigns that conveniently coincide with elections and fizzle out soon after.
I have Lazarus up and running... it's currently taking 32 Megabytes of RAM. It compiles in the blink of an eye, has one of the best possible 2 way GUI builders in the open source world, and I can reach back 30 years into the libraries I wrote in the days of Turbo Pascal 7/MS-DOS and pretty much use them intact.

It amazes me how many people went with the .NET bloatware and all that follows it. Of course, 95% of programmers out there are newer than me and don't have knowledge of this type of efficiency to compare against.
If you meet an overweight person, do you begin conversation by telling them to eat less? If not, why don't you? They obviously get too much calories and may benefit from your advice. And they can always tell you to stop giving them advice if they don't like it.

I think you've perfectly characterized why I love listening to Dan Carlin. He's masterful at personalizing history (even ancient history) and challenging you to ponder how you would act under the same circumstances.

I was expecting the article to be about sign language over video and whether it's a good experience or not. Does anybody here have experience with that and would they recommend it over captions?

Also, for someone who picked up sign language later in life, how difficult has it been to learn in your experience? Would it be a viable option to have a whole company take sign language courses in order to help become more disability friendly or would that be too much of a time investment with little reward?
That is the case no doubt in most organizations. And I can see their point if it works it works even if it may be very difficult to maintain it. But that should be a conscious decision, not a point of pride how complicated the code is to understand.

Just because a person can write code that only they can understand does not mean they are more intelligent than others, nor that the quality of such code would be "good". :-)
It's the 4G/5G/wifi. Turn off your cell phone, wifi router at night and consider Faraday caging the room. The EMF signals disrupt the bodies healing processes and lead to autoimmune disorder type responses.

I had an RSI injury that seemed to be at its worst every morning and wasn't getting much better with time. After disabling my cell phone at night the severity of the pain decreased significantly and quite rapidly. It didn't seem like a coincidence. Maybe it's psychological, but I seriously think EMF radiation is not as benign as we are being led to believe.
I recently moved from the Bay Area to the East Coast and I'm experiencing some pretty bad headaches that seem to fluctuate with the weather, and sometimes turn into migraines.

Try removing EMF radiation from your home. Turn off cell phones and wifi when you go to sleep.

Very interesting! I was recently prescribed Cymbalta as well for chronic pain in my first rib area [0], but until reading your post had some remaining skepticism about going through with it.

In my case, chronic pain seems to be affecting my sympathetic nervous system and causing dysautonomia, manifesting as delayed orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure drops after a few minutes of standing) and compensatory orthostatic tachycardia (heart rate increases to compensate), similar to POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrom, which, strictly speaking, is just the heart rate symptom and not the blood pressure one).

My doctor who prescribed the Cymbalta described the approach as "multi-modal", since I'll be getting a treatment of pulsed radiofrequency neuromodulation to the painful area (the first rib area) to numb the pain up. But I already have widespread chronic pain, which seems to relate to my POTS (the spine has nerves close enough to the first rib that pain signals could be spilling over and affecting the sympathetic fibers regulating the autonomic nervous system, i.e., things like heart rate and blood pressure). This gives me hope that if my doctor is right, something like Cymbalta could work in tandem with numbing up the pain locally to turn these pain signals down a notch, and hopefully do something to ease up the POTS over time.

I'm living in what is definitely a third world country. This does not happen here. Those who want the best quality care go to private hospitals while a good majority seeks free treatment in state run hospitals. On top of this, most employment contracts come with medical insurance.
Not too long ago, I went to the Apple store to get my MacBook Pro looked at for a faulty key and degraded trackpad. As I had a Genius diagnose the issue, the screen brightness of my iPhone 7 had dropped nearly completely.

While it was true that the glass of the screen had cracked due to a fall, the phone had operated just fine for many months since. The Genius told me it was likely a display issue while I told him it's much more likely a software issue. The Genius gave me the unfortunate advice of restarting the phone by holding down the power button and the lower volume button. The phone restarted, with the Apple logo in full brightness but would turn black when it came to logging in. Pity, since my password is too long to type it in without visual aide.

The Genius told me that to repair the display was $200+. I scoffed at the price and told him it's not the display, and it was unacceptable as I planned on buying the iPhone 12 next month. The manager came by and made it clear there's no room to budge on the price. I resigned and left the device with them.

When I was called in to pick up my phone, they told me that replacing the display did not work, so now my option was either to upgrade or to buy another iPhone 7 for $400+. I told them that's unacceptable and that it's clear it's not the hardware. I told them I am immersed in their ecosystem and I would easily spent another $2000 this year and to cut me a break. They told me, take it or leave it.

I took the phone back and started making my way home. Descending into the metro, I walked past an ill-lit part of the platform. I looked at my phone again and realized I could faintly make out the log in screen. I typed in my password, logged in, went to control center and raised the brightness back up. Perfect. Now, even if I lower the brightness to its lowest setting, it works as normal.

Not only is Apple's moves to cut out 3rd party repairs egregious, their own solutions and staff are rife with incompetence and their offer to you once you've immersed yourself into their ecosystem is, "Money now or go away".

I am not buying the iPhone 12 and my next machine will run Linux.
I don't think it's impossible to have (relatively) lightweight hybrid apps. The article focuses entirely on electron, which ships a whole browser. There are other options, such as pywebview, that use the system native browser. Still means the underlying JS bundle has to perform, which goes the same for websites too.

That said, I normally seek native apps where possible (ripcord for slack, sublime), but that's also pretty hipocrytical of me ref Kanmail!

The easiest way to implement your policy is an emissions trading scheme, where the amount of issued certificates is reduced every year.
If this [1] is the WSJ report you are talking about, then your statement that it "thoroughly broke down and discredited all aspects of this story" is blatantly false.

All they claimed was that there was no clear evidence in Bobulinski's text messages that Joe Biden was involved (though the "big guy" phrasing refering to Joe was not proved one way or the other).

It does not discredit the emails, nor Bobulinski's own testimony. It's actually just a pretty reasonable and reporting of the information they had available.

Does anybody know if there associated videos are available?
I've mostly used Pure Data patches or a C program I wrote that interfaces with Jack. I like Johnston's notation for extended just intonation, and the C program lets you press buttons on your MIDI controller to alter notes by the various commas/accidentals. Eventually I'd like to have a sequencer for it...

His idea was actually pretty cool: you start out with an F, C, and G major chord tuned just like in the ratios a couple comments up, which gives you an entire C major scale, and then there are a handful of accidentals. The syntonic comma (+) is what turns A into the fifth above D rather than a third above F, # applied to the top note of a major third turns it into a minor third (defined by the division of a major triad into a major and minor third), 7 applied to a Bb lowers it to coincide with the 7th harmonic of C, 11 applied to an F slightly raises it to be the 11th harmonic of C, and so on. Each accidental also has an inverse operation. With just these accidentals above, the system is able to uniquely represent every ratio whose prime factorization contains numbers up to 11.

Unfortunately MIDI is not so good for non-12-EDO. Some instruments support SYSEX messages with per-note-number alterations. There's also a program out there, forgot the name, which takes a MIDI channel and splits it across multiple channels to apply independent pitch bends per note when there's polyphony. I hope MIDI 2 will help...

I don't know much about real DAWs, though there are some Adam Neely videos exploring microtonality and alternative tuning systems where he pulls up some plugin -- maybe that will help you find something.

Having seen a video of Jacob Collier's projects, it seems like he might do microtonality using only pitch correction. I think if you're familiar with your commas -- there aren't many after all -- you just learn how many cents you need.

Edit: I thought to look up Sevish, a microtonal musician who seems to actually care about making good music, and he has some resources on his site: https://sevish.com/music-resources/
> Don't be ridiculous. Yes, Indians are much more closely related to whites than Asians are. You don't need to support basic well-known facts.
Recall that Indians were usually "white" under US law...

I’m sorry but that is not a “basic well-known fact” that is just conjecture.

Dubious, now repealed, racial laws are not a sound basis on which to hang an argument.

If you want to make that claim stick you’d need to do a peer reviewed comparison of DNA and prove it.

If you really want to play this game consider that China and India share a border.

Where do the people 20 miles on either side of that border fit in your racial hierarchy?
