Is that due to different ways the animals are killed ?
Seeing from comments in this post this seems to be a very common approach/story. It sounds super wrong though. Why should a letter from (the office of) a congressman make such a difference all of a sudden, while the facts regarding the matter hasn't changed at all? In any society priding itself on the rule of law, this sort of process shouldn't make a difference at all, and it sounds an awful lot like personal favor currying both on the side of the congressman and on the government agency that responded to such a letter. So whoever contacted a congressman would suddenly get an edge over whoever that just stays put, while the agency could/should have done its job with the same standard for everybody. Doesn't make logical sense.
No. Because we do not know is it "A" or "The", and as name is missing it is more likely it is "A" but we do not know which one.

An ornament is something that's almost invariant under some transforms. For example, these ACF images are almost invariant under some rotations. Sound waves are almost invariant under temporal shifts. I'd argue that what makes an ornament look good is the ease of recognizing those transforms and what makes sound sound sound is the ease of recognizing those temporal shifts.

India being next-door is not that big of an issue.

The fixation on their demographic issue is quite ridiculous. Demographic problems are not problems in a vacuum. Demographic decline is only an issue insofar as it prevents economic growth.

It turns out, the CPC is acutely aware of the issue, and considered it before putting the policy into place. The crucial fact is this one:

Over 25% of the Chinese population is employed in agriculture. However, only 2% of the American population is employed in agriculture.

This fact is the root cause of the demographic decline being planned and indeed wished for by the CPC. They, in effect, have a 20+% population surplus, that could be got rid of without a negative economic impact.

Therefore, the Chinese economy is very unlikely to implode because of the upcoming demographic shock, as it will not negatively impact economic growth and will thus not lead to issues with either the retirement system (China already has one of the lowest retirement ages), nor with economic growth.

This inscribes itself further in the process of proletarianization in which the Chinese economy is engaging in order to continue its development, as well as calculated so that the peak population will coincide with the carrying capacity of Chinese arable lands. The CCP are a lot of bad things, but they really aren't idiots.

An issue that was not foreseen, however, is the gender imbalance that was created, but even that is not that bad of an issue - involuntary celibacy is significantly lower in China than, for example, the United States, and is actually one of the lowest in the world, but this is still a problem, especially for more long term relationships.

People have been clamouring for the imminent fall of China for this or that, but objectively I don't see it happening.
According to Task Manager, the Electron version has 5 processes for a total 80mb memory. The Sciter version has 1 process for a total 15mb memory.

Just last week I had to help my sister reinstall windows because she used respondus and now her computer blue screens every time she turns on her webcam. It runs as root and appears to mess with the kernel, so a clean reinstall seemed like the only solution. It’s really so much worse than I imagined at this point I’d classify this software as straight up malware.

I can’t imagine programmers wanting to use Rust for games development, especially when there are plenty of alternative languages.

And remember that Rust must go through an LLVM layer.

Been in a similar position too. Didn't end up getting it added to the errata since we reported it against an engineering sample, but just added a sentence about how 'this status bit flag is "unreliable"' buried somewhere in the middle of the first public release of the reference manual without any warnings as to what that implies downstream. At least it went in the real docs I guess. But this was after them ghosting us about this, so the whole encounter still left a bad taste in my mouth.
I don't think many people would argue with you that invading Iraq was a mistake and a catastrophe. That doesn't necessarily mean pulling out immediately (even after 20 years) would be better. I'm not saying it wouldn't, just that it's not that simple.

That's a false equivalence. While I do not endorse the treatment of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers at the US border, it's quite different from what the PRC currently doing, which is forced imprisonment and indoctrination of its own citizens.

This is a strange thing to say. Are you implying for example that every German must bear the sins of Hitler?

I was being a bit flippant but the fact is that you're always relying on the decision of the front line employee. Of course there are guidelines and decisions sometimes travel up the management chain, but the attitude of the first officer you meet can dictate the outcome.

Here's an example: You decide spontaneously to travel to the UK from the US after having finishing a grueling contract. Your travel plans are a bit vague because of the short notice. You work on your CV on the flight with a view to your next job.

The border control officer finds your lack of detailed travel plans suspicious. He decides to carry out a search of your luggage and finds your CV. He claims you are coming to the UK to seek work. You protest but you have no evidence to the contrary.

You're refused entry and you will now find it difficult to enter the UK for at least 10 years. You can expect to spend 3 or more hours at the UK border each time you try to enter.

Or, alternatively, none of this happens and instead the officer has a laugh with you about disorganised trips overseas and waves you in.

These sorts of scenarios are very common. People should be aware of the peril of crossing borders and be informed and well organised.

The 'soggy' is a part of the experience; not really disgusting soggy but definitely something you cannot pick up as a slice; the toppings would fall off. Italians eat them generally with fork & knife, but if you want, you can fold the slices 2x (sides to eachother like you would do and then fold the point into there as well and then you can pick it up by the crust).

The basic thing which I have seen as big difference; you have to cook these pizzas from going into the oven to plate in < 90s (usually it's less than that; in my oven, when it's perfect, it takes about 60s) and then immediately eat it. If you leave it only for a bit even, to me it is no longer good.

That's where the low moisture (which here they equate with lower quality, not sure if that's true, but more moist is considered better) mozzarella comes in handy; if you want to serve slices over a period of 30min or you want to deliver a pizza etc, you really cannot use this Italian style as far as I have seen and tried.

The US requires naval power to project power into the South China Sea, China doesn't. Without naval power, China has almost uncontested control. US Military Doctrine cannot hope to control the SCS without naval control, Chinese military doctrine is built around that.

Even with the US having access to advanced hypersonic missiles, China retains the option of an amphibious landing on Taiwan, for example. Indeed, hypersonic antiship missiles, for a great many reasons, only work very well against large, slow-maneuvering ships that are far away from their destination (and thus offer the attacker the option to choose when to launch), because of kinematic and targeting concerns far away from traditional targeting assets.

Their offensive options are more than sufficient using purely air and missile power over the South China Sea. From then on, the ability to project power can be used to disable enemy missile launch options progressively, until the point at which supply lines can be reaffirmed.

No, and that's the big problem.

You can't even tell by grinding the layers off one by one and inspecting them with a microscope. There was a paper published recently showing how to backdoor a random number generator by fiddling with the dopants. No visual difference at any magnification level. I suppose you could test for it with an electron microscope but you'd have to know what you're looking for and where to look.
What a dystopian world it'll be when the US gets its hands on this! The only thing stopping warmongers in Washington is the US public opinion in having American soldiers killed in random wars meant to enrich the MIC. Once the human cost is removed, every nation on earth will be forced to turn into a vassal and the Anglo-Saxon imperial termites will run the world again.

The British empire is dead, long live the American empire.
+1 on the drilling specific techniques. Any skill is reinforced by consistent targeted practice, and to think that math is an exception where you can break through with pure genius is just deluding yourself.

The only way I got through my undergrad math was by doing problem set after problem set until the concepts were second nature, and the courses that didn't have a sufficient breadth of exercises to drive home fundamental concepts ended up being the ones I struggled with the most.

These kinds of issues are the case with essentially all militaries: China, Russia and various European Union states have their fair share of similar issues. I actually think this is a domain where the US has an edge.

My comment doesn't contradict anything that you're saying. I pointed out that America has made many grave mistakes, such as slavery, and that we can still improve America today. The words of the Declaration of Independence are an inspiration and mandate to work towards the goal of equality.

Our founding fathers were certainly hypocrites and flawed men, but that doesn't invalidate the truth of their words.
The interrobang only dates back to 1962, didn't actually appear in a typeface until 1965, and from what I've been able to find, it didn't start routinely appearing in typefaces as a distinct character until it become part of Unicode. So don't blame old typesetters -- blame the internet. :)

I don't see anything wrong with the interrobang, although I don't think I'd go out of my way to use it, simply because it calls rather undue attention to itself. I wouldn't say that about most other ligatures, even some relatively uncommon ones; I'm sure that most people read text in set in Chaparral, for instance, without ever noticing that "Th" is a ligature in that typeface, because it looks optically correct in the same way the near-universal "fi" and "fl" ligatures do.

For the record, I can't find any supporting evidence about the ordering of punctuation marks; both "?!" and "!?" are non-standard in formal English, and the advice I've seen online -- and in the Chicago Manual of Style I have on my bookshelf I just checked -- suggest that an "exclamatory question" just uses the exclamation point. It's just that "?!" is more common when it gets used. (A question mark comes after an ellipsis not because of punctuation priority, but simply because the "..." indicates elided words, but doesn't replace the terminating punctuation mark.)
Persecuting? That's a big stretch.

[Disclaimer: the government is a Big Place and there is lots of variety.]

With the exception of open source infrastructural tools that are used by the whole world, there probably are not many open source government-run projects that allow contributions from non-governmental employees.

There are all sorts of reasons for this:

- Some are legal. Lawyers get anxious about the soliciting or accepting free work. There are ethical issues around contributions - how do you know it isn't a bribe?

- Many are technical. Someone has to review that code before it gets merged in. Who does that? Probably needs to be a government employee, but many government agencies don't have much, if any, in-house engineering resources - and what few resources they do have are already quite busy maintaining the current crop of software projects. How is this maintained once the open source contributors go on to other projects?

- Many are a mix of both. How do you ensure the code meets proper security and compliance standards? Accessibility requirements? Records retention requirements? Who is responsible for fixing one of these issues when an issue is discovered? What happens if there is a support issue? Who can the case management worker who is out in the field contact to get help?

This isn't to say these issues can't be solved. But it would take a lot of work to solve them all, and it would be difficult to solve them all in a way that would be cheaper than just hiring internal resources, buying a COTS solution, or hiring a vendor to build what you need.

That being said - if you aren't ready to switch jobs, there are lots of government-adjacent open source projects - especially in the Open Data world.

What about the metrology cutouts you have to leave in every 2mm by 2mm region on 28nm and lower processes? I hear the interval is even smaller on 14nm/7nm.

I always thought those were only half for process control and half to force you to leave a blank spot on your mask where they could pattern in nasty additional circuitry on a few wafers.

Edit: TSMC calls this the "Dummy TCD macro". If you have the 28nm design rule book T-N28-CL-DR-002 version 1.3 it's Section 6.3.3 "Dummy TCD Design Insertion Guideline" (if you don't have the design rule book then no, I can't send it to you, please don't ask). The TCD macro is a black box -- nobody outside TSMC gets to see what's in it. You have to leave a 9um*3.5um empty region on all layers in every 2mm by 2mm region of your maskset.

Now that Multi Layer Maskset (MLM) is widespread every fab has the ability to "blade off" regions of a mask and expose a pattern from a different mask in that region (of course wafers processed this way are much much more expensive). The TCD macro rules force you to leave an empty hole in your design at regular intervals where this can be done without breaking your chip.
Yep, I lived through it.

I'm talking relative terms; our numbers were 50-100/day when they realised the problem was getting bad, and up to 700/day when we hit crisis point, but that's still lower than the figures that some U.S. and European cities had even back in March/April when the world was still yet to understand what was really going on.

And yep, I think what's happened here has been impressive, but we've had some factors in our favour that other parts of the world don't have.

It's too tiresome. One of the strategies is the "overwhelming" part - listing an "overwhelming" amount of anecdotes or other articles, that give the impression of overwhelming evidence, but is really irrelevant. To address them all would be an overwhelming amount of work.

For example it is irrelevant that there are many shitcoins and many scammers. What matters is if there are non-shitcoins. Bitcoin seems to be doing well.

In the dot com aera, there were also many scams and bad startups, but I think nobody would want to cite that as proof now that the internet is bad.
