> "Many saw a concerted campaign to discredit [Annalena Baerbock, ] a highly accomplished woman"

The problem, in my opinion, is with the new type of the "young politician": This is someone who is the absolute opposite of "accomplished". For a person who is actually "accomplished", journalists would have more important things to say than that they may or may not have plagiarised in the past.

Take for example Sebastian Kurz, the chancellor of Austria (where Weber hails from and has broken many a "scandal"): Kurz joined his party when he was 17, from which point the party "groomed" him for a career in politics. He worked for the party, having no notable employment or self-employment outside of working for the party. Part of his grooming was that, when he was 25, they invented a new public office for him. One where he would frequently get positive media attention and where there would be little opportunity for him to do anything wrong or get any negative attention. At that point he hadn't even completed any university-level education. When he was 31 they made him their new party leader and candidate for the highest office in the country, and he won the election to become the youngest European head of state.

It's the same thing with Baerbock. Her resume is essentially nothing but jobs inside her party.

Such people are "politically invincible". A political opponent simply has nothing that they can be opposed to: They have done nothing, they stand for nothing, they are nothing. But also: They've done nothing wrong [yet].

This is where the plagiarism stuff comes in: Even somebody who has done nothing of note in their life will probably have done a little bit of writing here or there. Maybe a thesis at university. Maybe a non-fiction book outlining their view on politics.

But: Thanks to the "plagiarism hunter" and his exceptionally wide definition of what constitutes plagiarism, that's actually enough to generate a bit of scandal.

So: What have we learned? We need to add "writing" to the list of things a person must not have done in order to qualify for a career in the politics of the "young politician".
This article might be a little outdated now (2017).

Recently, I've enjoyed using the Python cffi module to interface with C libraries:

# not tested!
this_dir = Path(__file__).parent

ffi = cffi.FFI()
ffi.cdef((this_dir / "awesome.h").read_text())
lib = ffi.dlopen(str(this_dir / "awesome.so"))

print("awesome.Add(12,99) = %d" % lib.Add(12,99))

Well I think there is a difference in Energy Production Cost, and Consumer Retail Price. There are distribution, storage, etc in between. So it may likely never be negative.

But I am wondering if Solar is clearly trending towards zero. Why aren't more Solar farm being installed? I dont read any where that Solar Panel or installation are reaching max capacity. Is it simply because of storage problems?
If you have a place to park your car (not roadside parking), it's perfectly possible to install an AC charger in there.

A 3.7kW one will be more than enough for people working 9-5. The car will be sitting there doing nothing for 10+ hours anyway, why not charge at the same time.

Nothing will change without legislation though.

In Finland we changed the law so that if an apartment building has "major renovations", they MUST install EV charging capability for all parking spots. (No need to install a charger, it just needs to be possible).
LineageOS provides automatic updates on the phones my family uses it on. Far past official support I should add. So, I warmly recommend to try it again, not as a badge of FLOSS-dom, which I like too, but because it's easy (flashing the rom the first time is the only hassle right now) and gets you great support and automatic updates for older phones (make sure you get a phone that is well supported by Lineage ofc.)

Lead poisoning does have a clear biological mechanism, establishing it as a toxin in a way that social media does not.

However, the liberty of the metaphor is well justified.

Social media is a plausible (not proven, but plausible) factor in a 57% increase in teen suicide between 2008 and 2018 (noting that rates were stable for the years 2000-2008, and that 2006 was the watershed year for smartphones and social media)[1].

I'm not motivated to dig out the numerous resources showing the deleterious influence of social media on teen psychology, but it doesn't take much searching if you are open. There are clear psychological mechanisms, and Facebook especially was clearly and explicitly designed to take advantage of these psychological mechanisms.

I find the same. My wife is from another country and we find she has more command of my mother language’s rules and whys and viceversa.

For example she had a hard time expressing when does she say “oui” and when does she say “si”; being such a basic word (probably learnt at age 2), she never had to sit and try to infer the rule explicitly. Whereas every french-as-second-language speaker, this is a basic (explicit) rule that has been discussed in class and memorized before being internalized.

And having the rules more explicitly in the head enables hard reasoning over them, which goes beyond intuitiveness in some contexts.
WTC7 didn't collapse symmetrically. Quote:

WTC 7's collapse, viewed from the exterior (most videos were taken from the north), did appear to fall almost uniformly as a single unit. This occurred because the interior failures that took place did not cause the exterior framing to fail until the final stages of the building collapse. The interior floor framing and columns collapsed downward and pulled away from the exterior frame. There were clues that internal damage was taking place, prior to the downward movement of the exterior frame, such as when the east penthouse fell downward into the building and windows broke out on the north face at the ends of the building core. The symmetric appearance of the downward fall of the WTC 7 was primarily due to the greater stiffness and strength of its exterior frame relative to the interior framing.

There are a lot of Apple apologists who claim Apple's payment system is superior for the customer, but that just doesn't match my experience.

I don't subscribe to a lot of services, but I find that eg. subscribing and unsubscribing from Netflix is a much nicer experience than subscribing from something that uses Apple's service.

With Netflix, I know exactly where to subscribe and where to unsubscribe, and the terms are pretty clear.

Apple on the other hand makes it surprisingly hard to show your active subscriptions. On the Mac, I think you have to open the Music app and click on a bunch of links that I keep forgetting. Kinda weird when Apple is supposedly known for their ease of use.

It's also often unclear how it works. In one app I clicked "start 14 day trial", but ended up being charged for an annual subscription immediately. At first I was surprised, but then I thought maybe it was because I had apparently started the trial already a few years ago already. The buttons I tapped did not make that clear.

And some basic things are impossible with Apple's solution: Eg. charge the Apple Music subscription to a different bank account. Nope, with Apple all your subscriptions go to a single credit card.
> For most Greek speakers texts from this time are mostly legible, words like epiousios not withstanding.

Is this true? As someone who studied classical Greek, I can mostly understand NT Koine OK, but most of modern Greek goes right over my head. Conversely (anecdote alert) I watched a YouTube video where a Greek guy took ancient texts out onto the streets of Athens and asked people to make sense of them; most people giggled self-consciously and admitted that while they had studied them in school they were able to make very little headway in actual translations.

Edit: so my point is that, to my naïve eye, Koine seems much closer to Attic than to Modern, and hence I'd expect modern Greeks to struggle with it - but would be very interested in being proved wrong :)

also in general English style if you say there is X and Y and one is an A and other a B, it is common that the property A refers to X and the property B to Y as they occupy the same positions in the statement. However one can also be structuring things in this ambiguous manner for artistic reasons.
yeah that for sure and i believe there is many developers having same issue as me and this can help them out.
I agree.

Philo of Alexandria was the most influential Jewish-Greek theologian in the first century AD; it was he that originally introduced the idea that Logos is the son of the One god. (That, ostensibly, is how Apollos of Alexandria was able to preach accurately about the logos without knowing about Jesus, Acts 18:24-25)

In the Platonizing esoteric context of Philo, it seems straightforward to view epi-ousia as a kind of "soul" bread. That is, we should pray for the nourishment of our soul.

Soul, in the Platonizing context of Philo, is the noetic realm of mathematics and ideas—and typically placed above the material realm. The question of materialism vs epi-materialism is still a vibrant debate; Max Tegmark, Karl Popper and Roger Penrose for instance, advocate for the meaningful existence of non-material being. For instance, that the concept of a sphere exists universally, not merely through human conception.

Puts another spin on "soul food", too.
That statement seems to be very obsolete. It claims "doctors and scientists are working to estimate the mortality rate". Well, that work has been done and the results were that you can find IFRs of anywhere between 0% and 1.6%, with a median of about 0.2%:

https://www.who.int/bulletin/online_first/BLT.20.265892.pdf

There's a letter here in the BMJ that states it's comparable to flu:

https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4509/rr

The nature of IFR calculations means there will likely always be very wide uncertainty intervals, however.
Change the config file for the hospital from 100 doctors to 200 doctors, and reload the config. You can spin up a new doctor in what 30 seconds? Totally how the world works from the armchair.

Not like it takes 6-7 years to get the basics down, weed out the ones who really are not as into it as they thought or just wont make it, or cant keep up. Not to mention the ones that want to go off and do tit jobs for a living rather than feeding experimental medcine to people who are about to die because they excercised their rights to refuse to take tested medcines.
What data are you using that shows hospital systems crashing?

Not media articles but where is the actual data you're using to make this claim?
Not for the phone I tried last year. Can't remember the model, I returned it the next day and got a different brand.

It may depend on model and location where you buy it.
I love how we come full circle with this YT comment...

"Anybody else ever realized that Pinky is the Genius and Brain is the one that is Insane?

I have never used an iPhone, but IIRC Neflix is the example people usually put as the "perfect" subcription & unsubscription workflows, as in they will make your life easy to unsubscribe and that has earned them a bunch of customers over the years. So it's a bit unfair to put "the best in class" as the alternative and saying it's not as good, when virtually every other subscription system is worse than Netflix.

Apple payments don't even need to be the best, they just need to be good enough since they are already the default and integrated with your phone.
because traditional methods of food preservation deserved to be abandoned?

Your argument assumes refrigeration is a universal good, and other alternatives were not. Likewise, that the highly centralized food distribution system which became the defacto due to refrigeration is a universal good, while decentralized systems are not.

such as the rich and varied food of Vietnam.

Time to learn about Stalin and communism. People who were forced to work destroyed machines for example, you shoot them and lose both labor and assets. So succesful economy has some natural constraints based on human motivation. I think capitalism works good on pricing these motivations although there's too much economy capture by financial class (as they define rules). Once home ownership is fixed I supect there might be some rebalancing of power.

There are times when cost of energy will be zero at point of production. However transfer isn't ever free. And there will be decent part of time when it is not zero due to storage, which isn't exactly cheap.

Also energy will never have zero cost, unless we produce infinite amount of it from single producer. As capital+operational cost/energy generated > 0.

Look, my point is simple: if you agree that snow and sugar are white, then the sunlight is also white.

It has to be because white was historically described as the color of the snow (or whatever is white) under the sunlight.

Now, if you want to adopt a more precise definition of white and other colors, based on (not so) recent scientific insights about the light, you can. Then the sunlight is not white, neither is snow or sugar. And is also certainly not yellow.

Let's be honest, the sun light is almost perfectly white, and kids use yellow to draw the sun, because it wouldn't make sense to draw it with white.

It would be interesting to monitor his number of followers before/after the controversy. For information, John Gibson, CEO of Tripwire Interactive, which is a videogame publisher, recently tweeted a controversial opinion about abortion, then had to step down from his job, yet his number of followers increased from 2.5K to 9K in the process.

Or maybe electric charging will be a bolt on to anything that has a car park, and dedicated charging locations will be relatively rare.

I think it will be both. Anywhere in and around a town or city will have electric charging at most normal parking spaces and basically no dedicated charging stations. Along major highways you'll see a lot more large dedicated charging stations like the ones you describe.

I found something. "ata" seems to mean "atmosphere absolute" and describes the total pressure:

"The ata unit is used in place of atm to indicate the total pressure of the system, compared to a vacuum. For example, underwater pressure of 3 ata would mean that this pressure includes 1 atm of air pressure and thus 2 atm due to the water.", from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_atmosphere_(unit)#Pre...

Why do you need to buy a car to go to work?

I see this thinking as a main problem. Cities are being built around cars, workplaces are being built around cars and etc. Banning ICE vehicles could be a step into transforming cities to be more people friendly, more kid friendly, more community friendly.

There are places in the world were cities were not built around cars. You take a train (or any other kind of public transport) to go to work, or you take a bike. Or you walk.
