12. Foreign women are better than American women

What?

15. Escape / Unplug from the Matrix in America

Meaningless statement.

16. Stop being programmed by the American news and media

I feel this will be an issue anywhere. No matter where you live you will have biased news sources.

19. Makes you a better person overall

I agree travelling and experiencing different cultures is a great thing, but you are't magically going to be a better person.

30 and 31 are the same thing, and I think not unique to Americans. I attribute this to a culture raised on social media. That's going to be the same everywhere, I think it's an age thing more than anything else.
There is no indication that throwing money at companies decreases ads. We had newspapers, magazines, cable, and now Hulu and Amazon video and the NYT webpage. They'll gladly take my money and serve me ads.
Other similar compiler optimizations do exist, for, for example, reducing a multiplication by a constant into a series of additions and bit-shifts. It might be possible to reduce divisibility checks for constants in binary at compile time in a similar manner, but no existing work comes to mind.
Read the biography of Don Juan de Onate, but more than colonialists it was an empire builder. More towards adventure there are several books on Spanish exploration of the new world and how they contacted and approached native populations and the several constant fights, missunderstanding, exchanges, etc a good examples for that would be some biography from Juan Sebastian ElCano or Magallanes.

If you are just intereste din community building the experiences of the jesuits in america is what you are looking for. Their work was invaluable founding cities, communities, and creating bridges between natives and Europeans as well as teaching natives European arts, culture, technology, etc.

Maybe not on an individual level, but if it was (for example) the salmon near the factory then that might affect thousands of people and it would be important to stop this at the source.

Tangentially related: I recently learned from a YT interview with James Burke that modern epidemiology was born when John Snow identified the true cause of the 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak using statistics and an accidental double-blind experiment set-up[0][1].

So I do understand Fox' bewilderment that five people from the same set developing Parkinson's disease is not considered worthy of follow-up research.

Get a grip. It's just a word.
I think you've just never been exposed to any counter-arguments, frankly. The media won't do it so you're left to believe anything you disagree with is completely irrational.

The rational/logical argument for opposing gay marriage has two strands:

1. Marriage != civil unions. You can have equal legal rights without the religious concept of marriage being involved, and many countries already had that, so the effort to go further in many places didn't involve doing anything beyond upsetting religious people. It didn't make the lives of gay people better in any specific legal ways. You seem to be conflating the two.

2. The historical taboo against homosexuality is because such couples don't produce children, and thus must be supported in old age or times of famine etc by the wider community who may not feel any particular loyalty to them. In a world where the family is the primary unit of support, such couples can end up with nobody to support them, and moreover, don't contribute to creating the next generation.

The concerns in (2) may seem parochial given the existence of the welfare state and contemporary concerns about over-population. But although it's a sad and scary prospect, it won't be a huge surprise if homophobia comes back in future generations because the demographic deficit is enormous and nobody's talking about it. The welfare state and pension schemes depends critically on a growing and strong economy to support it, which boils down at some level to having enough people. Yet birth rates are far too low to sustain those systems over the long run. If pension funds start drying up because there aren't enough workers, then gay couples might end up being hit by a doubly whammy of (a) not having children who can support them if the state fails to do so and (b) popular resentment against them for contributing to the problem of a declining population.

Of course, neither problem would be their fault. They didn't choose their orientation. However, people certainly knew that centuries ago and the taboo existed and was propagated because society needed families and a growing population to be stable. If pension funds are in as much trouble as demographers claim, we may see a return to that world, and it won't be entirely irrational.

This is just a bunch of falsehoods

> You wouldn’t place a price tag on your freedom to speak. We shouldn’t place one on our privacy, either.

You do place a price tag on a lot of your freedoms, that's what your employers pay you for. And it's not like people are going to be forced to give their data, or even forced to give all of their data, it's entirely voluntary.

We either put a price tag on all user-generated content (including private data) or we abolish all intellectual property laws and copyrights. Suggesting otherwise is dishonest double standards.

> should not be incentivized to pour more data into a system that already exploits them and uses data to discriminate against them.

The system is already sucking all their data. There's nothing else. If anything this will force companies to compete and pay them more than $0.

> Facebook is a massive, global company with billions of users, but each user only offers Facebook a modest amount in revenue.

Plenty of websites would be kept alive if they could earn $28 / year from each one of their users (hell, i 'd be rich), and in fact it shows why such a scheme would be beneficial for the web and the world as a whole.

Privacy and attention are currently being grabbed , stolen and sold in marketplaces nowadays . It's just so wrong to try to convince people to keep doing so.

This isn't 2003, and the price of "free services" is no longer high enough to justify giving our data for free (by law). I don't even understand what's the motive behind this post, and why Hailey felt the need to support such abuses
I think you have your answer here:

> I'm still passionately left wing, passionate about helping fix inequality and the environment and so on

What's the most effective way to gain information and insight about these topics and ways to contribute? Is it following the breaking news? Probably not. The real problems don't change hourly or daily, and information doesn't go stale. So instead of today's news, it may be better to find books on these topics, as well as recent but not that recent reports, investigative journalism, etc. - things that are not meant to be a part of a daily news cycle.

Solid information from sources like that, and refined beliefs formed thanks to it, will make you a better voter too.
This is if everyone is equally likely to spread the virus.

Probably 20% of people are responsible for 80% of infections. (People who work in shops or public places, people in large extended families, people who socialize a lot).

If you can identify and vaccinate those people it will be much more that 20% effective. (It might be hard to identify those but it's probably easy to identify people at low risk of spreading it and infer)
When that information is being provided en masse, perhaps warrants should be required.

And either way, something being legal does not stop it from being a big problem.
Or even better, make them support open standards that cover the basics but let them play with their own "advanced" custom features.

I doubt it would help much, for similar reasons why you don't give a flu vaccine to someone already sick.

A vaccine is meant to stimulate adaptive immunity which culminates in formation of memory cells - highly selected T and B lymphocytes which are very specific to the infectious agent.
This process typically takes a couple days [1] and is rather involved. Once you have the memory cells, however, the next time you get in contact with the virus your memory cells will jump-start the immune response much more quickly, before the virus gets a chance to replicate.

In a regular infection the same mechanisms of adaptive immunity are activated, but on top of that you already have the complications from the virus itself (cell death in lung epithelium, accumulation of excess fluid, hypoxia, cytokine storm etc). A vaccine dose won't necessarily speed it up, there are plenty of virus particles already stimulating the immune system - it's just picking up the slack a bit too late.

There are other factors to consider but that's the general idea.

Detective Game Design Problems
due to regular air pollution in the area where i live, i had to buy a couple of air purifiers 2 years ago. those happened to be xiaomi, which had "chinese" auto settings with too high particle ppms to my liking and no possibility to automate it manually (they had it for china, but not europe)

so very soon i ended up with HA on my rpi - yes, the learning curve was quite steep, but my automations just work for years since the initial setup

since then my 'iot infrastructure' has also grown quite a bit, driving me through even more rabbit holes with zigbee2mqtt presence detectors, lighting etc

the only thing that now worries me a bit (in the light of covid etc) is that noone from my family will be able to support all this stuff if anything happens to me, so i have to be careful to design the workflows to fail gracefully and leave the possibility of just plain old manual control if stuff dies

The irritation still persists from the damaged tissue after the virus is eliminated. It takes time to rebuild.
Maybe you should read the The Conquest of Florida by Hernando de Soto (1541) you can find his actual diary notes and letters in spanish or some book adaptation in english as the one from Theodore Irving.

For the spanish settling in america was mostly setting ties and allies with native populations, often as exchange of technology or accepting to fight against a local historical enemy from the communities.

You might also find interesting the biography of Don Juan de Onate, also named "the last Conquistador" who dominated the whole south of nowadays USA and built communities, ended up civilizating the zone, etc.
which is a fair bargain - you still have the option to opt out , but others have the option to get the offers. Demanding that nobody should have access to those bargains reeks of snobism imho
It has nothing to do with social networks - the same thing was true 20, 30 and 40 years ago.

Remember the McDonalds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_coffee_case ? Everything you'd "just hear about it" without looking into the details would lead you to believe that the US justice system is ridiculous - this case was mocked everywhere (in news, in film, in popular culture) and occasionally still is.

> It doesn't mean you have to form your worldview around the first piece of information that reaches you passively. It's about being deliberate about news consumption.

While you are technically correct, I've personally known many (about 20 or so) people who have stopped reading the news with the "if it's important I'll hear about it" mentality, and all of them except one never bother with active investigations into almost anything. You might be different, but in my experience that would be the outlier among the "I'll hear about it" crowd.

Now, you might also claim that Liebeck vs McDonalds doesn't cross your "threshold of importance". Personally, my own threshold of importance and credibility is constantly re-adjusted based on the differing accounts of actual events.

> just not the current news, only one week's old news.

Well, that's an interesting experiment.

One week might be fine, but I find that e.g. one year is not (e.g. one year in the Assange case it was becoming really hard to get informed about anything other than the US Department of State angle, except if you listened to Alex Jones style people -- which is generally an exercise in futility; whereas while things were happening, there were many angles).

Further, I've noticed how even science history gets whitewashed. Over 20 years, the narrative of the conflict between Linus Pauling and Dan Shechtman went from easy to find descriptions of "Pauling publicly ridiculed and undermined Shechtman with all his scientific weight, and only after Pauling died (and as a result of him no longer fighting against that) was Shechtman's advances to crystalography accepted" to "Pauling had a standard scientific disagreement with Shechtman that was eventually resolved in Shechtman's favor, but that happened only after Pauling died and without any relation to it". Robin Warren and Barbara McClintock had similar stories that have since been whitewashed.

Again, this is over a 20-50 year period, and might not even cross your threshold of "importance", but I know that if I just waited to "hear about it" I wouldn't know anything of these stories, and they do cross my threshold.

EDIT: a word.
If you're manufacturing something and selling it at a profit, that's absolutely a benefit!

I don't know that the manufacturing costs are less (for Pfizer, Moderna), but I think it's a fair assumption that the bulk of the difference is AstraZeneca (currently) providing it at cost.

I've focused on IoT-devices that uses the ZigBee-protocol, which can be integrated directly (trough a ZigBee controller of your choice, like deConz) into HA without the need of any proprietary hubs. Luckily IKEAs IoT-devices (primarily lights, controllers and switches) use the ZigBee-protocol and are decently priced. I have also used cheap environmental sensors[0] from China that supports ZigBee. I really like the idea of only using components with an open protocol and being able to isolate my IoT-setup to my local network. Everything would still work if I lost my internet connection and no data is leaving my house.

Is there evidence that 50% of users use voice search? I know there have been “surveys” done but everyone keeps citing the same one, and who knows how accurate that is.

And even if 50% of all users use voice search, that doesn’t mean 50% of all queries are voice search. Maybe you only want to use it for very specific use cases like weather, and directions.

Personally many websites don’t even have great site search, let alone voice. You should focus on improving that before addressing the 1% of people who would like to use voice search.
Unless your hardware implements BCD arithmetic, this method is pretty much guaranteed to be slower than just applying the MOD directly:

Direct calculation: 1 division

Proposed method: 1 division plus 1 bit shift plus 1 addition (per digit) plus 1 intermediate register
finally one division

It doesn't matter whether division is implemented in hardware. On machines with BCD support, benchmarking would be required to see whether this method is beneficial.

> The best option for long term archive is probably still characters printed out on paper, but getting that back into a working system can be quite a bit harder

Here it definitely depends on what your goals are. The best records we have from the past, in terms of their ability to survive, are fired clay tablets. Paper records really only survive in very dry environments. (Special documents, notably peace treaties, could be inscribed on metal. But the metal used was generally silver, for its value, which isn't ideal for archival purposes.)

With more modern technology, we can do thinner stainless steel plaques, which solve the problems of tablet thickness and metal rusting. They would also be more difficult to shatter than fired ceramics. Such an archive would survive far, far better than a collection of paper. It would be more expensive, and bulkier.
I wish NodeRed had a YAML (or whatever) syntax though, something git-friendly; that it was a viewer/editor for a sane human-readable text format.

While off-putting, these same capitalist forces are what made companies like Pfizer possible in the first place. Where are the socialist factories? I do not see any communist, religious and/or otherwise motivated groups of people producing anything of value right now. Lots of noise, very little substance.
No. Under a reasonable set of values "what's good for the US" and "what's good for the world" are so often aligned that it's a very good heuristic.
> But you can make tricks for base 16 or 256 if you really need to check for a certain divisibility multiple times

You don't need any tricks in that case since a simple bit mask (bit-wise AND) will do the trick then.
I can't come up with any automations related to my home that are difficult to do in YAML.

Unfortunately this still misses the important point of consistent and repeated bias against Trump to the point of attempting to undermine his legitimacy by the media and political establishment ever since he was elected; it's not reasonable to suddenly assume good faith and objective analysis on their part - regardless of his own trollish culpability in that process and unpleasant history.

From the whitepaper it still seems to use RCS for the transport, just encrypting it and using a special mime type. I know that carriers have various RCS apps, but they likely have special access. Cross-carrier apps like Signal would require OS support for RCS APIs.

IIRC there are plans to add such APIs to Android. I've found old threads [0] that it may be included into Android 11 but nothing in the official docs [1].

So maybe it'll be added to Android 12?

If I wanted to add voice search to my website, what would my options be?

I've not used it before but I'm aware of services like Amazon Transcribe. I'm sure a voice search could be build using that, but I'd still need to build it myself.

Things tend to become common place across the web when someone builds a simple plug and play service or widget to solve the problem, but I'm not sure that exists for voice search.

Yes, the German/Turkish company that actually developed the Pfizer vaccine is heavily subsidized. For me it's mostly how it all ends up (simplified):

European healthcare: Affordable, available to all and workable. Bad PR.

American: Expensive, inaccessible except to the rich, and only slightly better. Great PR.

The AstraZeneca vaccine also has 90 percent efficacy when used twice.
