What does linaro.org have to do with linux? I've been using linux since a decade before linaro.org was founded, and this is the first I've heard of it. Did you mean the Linux Foundation?
Me. Probably the other Parsi Zoroastrian here :-)
This looks very cool. I'm very new to JS/webdev and I wonder if it could eventually be possible to use this with react-native (if you can't already).
Replying to my sibling comment from @paxys:

True, though Juneteenth may be different here. It could be considered the most basic signal of whether a company cares about Diversity & Inclusion. Of course this itself would be meaningless, but perhaps eventually the lack of this holiday may say something about that employer.

P.S.: The big tech company I work for has more federal holidays off, but Columbus Day and Veterans Day are not among them.

I always prefer listening to the thing that sounds better to me. I don't care about what the artist wants.
Really neat to see how ideas propagate.

Except hotels don't drain the existing supply like AirBnB does. Hotels are built to be hotels, not to be rented to locals. AirBnBs were built to be homes for residences of the area...and instead are being rented to locals, thus draining the existing supply that's already there, which hotels don't do.

When you checked last time did you also check Reagan and the 80s? US prison system is and has been private for years and that makes the entire "pipeline" from streets all the way to prison private.
That’s fine, I’m from the UK and didn't get that the Senate uses words to mean completely different things from the actual meaning in certain contexts. We do it too, I’m certain.
When it's coupled with an economy that disenfranchises certain groups over others, yes, exactly. Like how America offshored all the manufacturing jobs that used to provide for the middle class.
Well, check my prediction 1-2 years from now. Your company will give you a day off on both MLK and Juneteenth. On Juneteenth 2023 you'll have a day off (this and next year it falls on the weekend)

The only exception to this would be companies (and schools) that will use Juneteenth as an education day instead of giving the day off. (I hope companies don't do that. If I want to get educated I have books and the Internet)
I think they're things best practiced with a guide, and not something to go attempt yourself. Whether there's any actual effect from it or not, who knows. But it's always better safe than sorry.
There is a good episode of the BBC podcast "In Our Time" on the history and philosophy of Zoroastrianism:

"How was the religion established in Ancient Persia, what is its body of beliefs and how have they been developed and disseminated? With Vesta Sarkhosh Curtis, Curator of Ancient Iranian Coins in the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum; Farrokh Vajifdar, Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society; Alan Williams, Senior Lecturer in Comparative Religion at the University of Manchester."

I'm boggled people would downvote this; I would have noted mikestew's point about The Maine Woods in my original post if I could have still edited it.
How bizarre that you're being downvoted. This is probably the most useful comment in this thread. The answer is in the first line:

WiFi maps do not fall within the scope of existing European privacy legislation. They do not consist of ‘location data’ as defined by the E-Privacy Directive, nor do they consist of ‘personal data’ under the Data Protection Directive, except in highly unusual and very rare circumstances.
We’re not disagreeing. The new batch of no-code/low-code tools may find a niche and help some non-programmers solve real problems. I see that with Excel, WordPress, Shopify, even SalesForce and Hubspot all the time.

I don’t agree that “80% of tech” (whatever that means) will be built by non-programmers in two years. The hype about new tools (or AI) replacing skilled programmers comes around like clockwork because lots of managers and executives would love to see that happen. Programmers are expensive, in-demand (so hard to find and keep) and often temperamental and hard to manage. That part of the dream is bullshit. If these tools do find a niche they can only expand the amount of software out there, creating a larger pool of work for programmers.

Microwave ovens didn’t replace regular ovens and stoves, nor did they democratize cooking for the masses. No chefs hung up their hats and said “game over.” They are a convenience, a shortcut. If you want a real meal you cook or have someone who knows how cook for you.
If it doesn’t support styled-components, how does this work with real React components?
I really encourage everyone who disagrees with this comment to reflect on it. The reporter just threw out, as though it was obvious, a partisan stance on an issue of great controversy completely unrelated to the topic of the article. A key component of media literacy is recognizing biases in your sources, so you have to be consciously aware of these kinds of things, or you'll be systematically misled.

For example, one question you should be asking is, why does the article contain a quote only from one side of the aisle? I think a lot of people are likely to conclude that only one side thought it was important, and that's not so - there was strong bipartisan support for this bill.
Yeah but all the EMR data I've seen have just been doctor notes, some prescription info, standard clinical scales, etc. Not that this can't be interesting, but there's not really a major database for richer data types like imaging or EEG (AFAIK)
They have a point though, every single US holiday is hell on low paid retail workers except for the few select stores that close on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Why would Voting day be any different?

By 1991 a good portion of the CPSU had become ideologically aligned with Yeltsin. KGB officials saw the writing on the wall, and saved his ass.

He knew this very well. If he directly went against the part of the KGB that supported him he would die.

And yes, the KGB subverted the Soviet Union by removing Gorbachev. This is obvious to anyone that has any understanding of history. Removing Gorbachev could not have been anything less.

So yes, I will persist, the only reason why Yeltsin was able to gain power is because a significant faction of the KGB supported him - though not at the very highest level - while the leadership was against Gorbachev. That is to say, thanks to the KGB.
Let's also keep in mind that airlines aren't making the calculation of balancing delay-hours against lives-lost. They are making the calculation of lives-lost and delay-hours against dollars.

Meanwhile, passengers largely assume they won't die regardless of which airline they pick, and happily take absurd delays and unnecessary connections in exchange for lower ticket prices time and time again.
Some parts are probably cultural. The type of economy that the article is describing, rent-seeking, doesn't feel like it culturally could work in Europe when trying to build something large like Google or Facebook, that is at least my subjective feeling.

That is why I'm somewhat skeptical against the article's proposition, offer it for free and then later come up with a scheme to extort users. I think there are other steps that can be taken first.

Make it a 1/2 day public holiday starting at 12pm. This way employees will be less likely to take Monday off and have a 4 day weekend.

Make serving as as working the polls equivalent to jury duty. All employers must give the days off if employee wants to work the polls.
Thanks for the comments! I appreciate the thought put into it.

1. My original thinking was to keep the game simple for casual players. But now I see that there are many who want to get into more depth :) Will work on it to make the rules of the game clearer and give an option for more visual indicators.

For now, here are some explanations (which might beg more questions):

influence - at the end of each turn, the average color of a tile's neighbors is calculated, and the tile gets 30% of that color (retaining 70% of its original color)

threshold - once a tile gets 50% of the way to max-blue or max-green, it gets a dark border and is not selectable. 0% is white.

2. I originally thought about square tiles, but then it would be more complicated to figure out the 'influence' on diagonally adjacent tiles. Hex tiles eliminates that issue.

3. There is a strong 1st mover advantage in this game. To compensate, the 1st green tile is actually at 55% color. I tried to balance the game so that hard AIs on both colors would roughly capture equal number of tiles.

Glad you're enjoying the game!

The name lends itself for innuendos, so what? I can assure you that a person with sleazy intentions will find many ways to do that without a funnily named programming language. The name is not the problem. Also, a person's offense is not an argument. I'm offended by your name, do you have to change it now? A funnily named programming language just isn't the same as actual sexual harassment.

That's not at all what I got out of reading "The Righteous Mind", so not sure how to respond to this constructively. Did you read the book? Granted it's been ~ 1 year since I read it, but I walked away with a completely different impression. The interesting thing that was covered was that liberals and conservatives have different ways to approach moral reasoning.

Republicans tend (this is not universal) to view things through a lense of six things: faith, patriotism, valor, chastity, law and order. Democrats focus on care and fighting oppression. Again, this is a simplification, but the theme is that conservatives have different moral foundations that make it hard for liberals to understand why they make decisions they do. A solid example (I can't remember if this was used in the book, but it helps me) is "why are they voting against their own interests". I hear this in my personal life all the time! I used to say it! Then I realized that voting for someone who is against welfare, when you are low on the socioeconomic spectrum, makes sense if you overweight faith, and believe that abortion is a grave moral sin. What's some poverty now compared to eternal damnation? I don't believe in hell myself, but this insight let me understand that someone who views things different than me isn't dumb, they just have different values that allow them to rationally decide things that my values seem irrational.

The hard part is trying to talk across this gap in moral reasoning, and find the right balance.

I wonder how much it would cost to open source AutoCAD or Solidworks lol. Blender was only $100k.
To what end though...I'm sure 1:1 ratio would be a huge improvement, but at what cost. You always get diminishing returns in these cases which seems heartless...but like with anything there is only so many resources to go around.

This is ultimately one of our goals, to allow maintainers of those kinds of libraries to publish that kind of integration, or for us or even other users to provide it (thinking along similar lines to TypeScript type definition files)

If anything the last few years showed me, it is that gestures do matter. Giving public recognition seems shallower cheap until you have a leader that refuses to observe even basic decencies.

Of course the work doesn't stop with public gestures, but what we publicly celebrate shows us what we collectively value.
I have the sense that many people with emotional problems often focus their attention too much on only themselves -- are they happy, why are they not, shouldn't they be happier?

It makes sense that spirituality could help many by taking them OUT of this inward focus to look at other people, at longer time frames, at greater meanings and purposes in life, and to help put today's worries into perspective.

Looking for god is just one way among many to be more spiritual.

Bang – Erotic Audio Stories (Sexual Wellness)
Hi guys,

A few weeks ago, one of my friends told me he doesn't like to watch porn, he likes to listen. It's some kind of audio porn. Community call it "JOI". SO we decided to turn into an app. Because of the AppStore rules, we started with soft content but we are considering that we should increase the level.

Erotic stories are kind of sexual meditation for me. It releases people's deep pleasures. So, we want to make it better soon. You'll find more sexual content on our next version.

Here's the link of our app: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps/1568857241/appstore/i...

Use our app and share your thoughts with us! Don't forget to comment!

Near where I grew up there's a state prison called Angola, built in 1880 on the site of an old plantation called Angola. The slave quarters were repurposed as the original prisoner quarters. Mostly-black prisoners raise cotton and other crops for pennies on the hour, overseen by mostly-white officers called "freemen."

The most ancient book of India is Rigveda. The first of Vedas. Exact timing is up for debate but could be easily 5000+ years old. I think in one of the early chapters the book describes a war, a war of 10 kings it is called. Leaving the mystical elements aside this war would shape future of India and Persia going forward. The historians I know believe that this war is not pure fiction but rooted in truth. In this war 9 Persian tribes unite to finally destroy the one king on India's western border (modern day Pakistan). All those tribes are named and it turns out all except 2 still exist in modern day Iran. The defeat of Indian king is certain except that Persians make a terrible mistake, they try to cross a shallow river to pursue Indian king and a sudden cloudburst in mountains wipes off majority of the army. Persians see this as Gods favouring Sudas, the Indian King, Indian King Sudas believes this to be the doing of his God Indra.

Defeated Persians walk back. It is a long journey and by the time they reach home their numbers are low and moral is broken, one of those tribes would split further to become the modern day Zoroastrianism. World's first monotheistic religion.

Technically, Zoroastrianism is at direct conflict with Hinduism and yet both religions have thrived side by side in India and average Hindu has very positive opinion of Parasi people (Zoroastrianism). Examine the language of both religions. In Sanskrit Asura means evil people (demon), in Persian Asura becomes Ahura which means Lord.

I have always felt that Parasi and Hindu communities are exceptional example of how religious groups with opposite viewpoints can live next to each other and peacefully.
Yes, I agree the world works that way, people are poor at risk assessment.

My question though is how should it work? What's the most optimal tradeoff between delays vs lives lost?
OpenSCAD is great for distributing singular models intended to be customized but I can't imagine using it for multi-part or really complex models.
In South Africa voting is always on a Wednesday, and I've always been told the logic is:

Avoid Monday and Friday so that workers won't take a 3 day weekend.

Similarly, avoid Tuesday and Thursday so that workers don't take a vacation day for a 4 day weekend - even though fewer workers would do this, it would still be a massive hit on productivity, and workers would more likely to travel and thus be outside their electoral areas

Hence, midweek

I assume they meant that the existing federal holiday observing MLK‘s birthday should be moved to the existing Election Day, So that election day is off for most people, and we still observe MLK, and there can be no objection to an additional holiday.
That's covered under 799 I think
It's not a public holiday in the UK. Some civil servants get a 'privilege day' off, but most Brits don't even know about this.
I mean, you seem to have confidently written "Black people don't need Juneteenth holidays" which I'm sure many Black individuals would disagree with.

This is made more ironic when in the line above you criticize white people for dictating what Black people need.
"we would be able to quickly deauthorize manufacturers’ public keys at various levels of granularity."

The wording suggests they can't deauthorize an individual device's key, perhaps because they're not unique. So would they have to brick innocent devices that happen to be from the same batch as the attackers'?

>But You are projecting the colonial powers’ treatment of the world onto a nation that has never done anything close to what you describe.

Please read some Chinese history. You'll see the exact same level of brutality, imperialism and aggression shown by the European empires, from Rome to Britain.

Much of central and Western China was only conquered during the last 500 years (basically the same period as European colonialism). They too, experienced forced cultural assimilation and ill treatment. They didn't conquer the globe in the way the Europeans did, but equally they didn't have the naval technology to do so.

IMO These shorters are doing an enormous service to the economy exposing corruption and malfeasance in (relatively) early stages.

If they profit from it, good for them.

Contrast this shorting behavior with massive scale market manipulation done by some multinational powerhouses with strong political connections.

In the absence of any meaningful regulation/enforcement by the FTC/DOJ/SEC/etc, these mechanisms are what the world is left with. Kind of like class action lawsuits, I would prefer a better mechanism, but at least it provides some mechanism to combat these things.
I maintain that the Fourth of July should be made a floating holiday, on the first Thursday in July, to facilitate 4-day weekends.

So this year, for instance, the calendar would go July 4 (Independence Day, Thursday) - July 1 (Friday) - July 2 (Saturday) - July 3 (Sunday) - July 5 (Monday).
