As a disabled person I didn't realize how much anger this story could provoke in me. I've always been on the side of free speech as a mean to improve society and enable humans reaching their potential. Telling nasty jokes toward someone locked in their body for no fault of theirs and no mean to escape is a perversion of the free speech idea. If I were a judge, I might've sided with the majority here, but I really really hope that there have been consequences for this guy.
Sadly, not an open question in the UK.
If you want to contribute to genetic diversity, stop killing species. Right now what humans do is impoverishing the global biodiversity by burning and cutting down forests, building houses, streets and plants, polluting the seas, and being the one major driver for the climate getting warmer instead of cooler which would be the natural course of events. It's not like the human diversity is really challenged with ~8 billions humans being alive.

I don't disagree, but keep in mind that any VR headset is probably going to involve an account and a login. When I download a game from Nintendo or Valve I am signing up for something and giving them personal info.

We are going to have to strike some balances. It's really annoying to have FB (or anyone) mandate that you join a multi-platform surveillance ecosystem to use their hardware. On the other hand, a platform with a digital library-- like say a kindle-- requires a login and some personal info. We just need to set some limits so that companies don't abuse these relationships.
It's very natural to want to have one's own biological child. You can say people shouldn't want that, but it doesn't change the fact that there are a lot of potentially good parents out there who wouldn't choose to adopt, but would do a good job raising children given the chance to have their own.

Bill pay is generally just ACH, so yes. I'm not sure if they do cashiers checks though; their tradeoff is that they are electronic only, so physical checks and cash are not well supported.
I was wondering about the same thing. I think that signal just sends a message to APNS (and Google’s equivalent) that you have something to look at like a new message or whatever. That makes the app wake up and goes to signals servers for the actual content and the app creates the actual notifications on your device.

This is all very much how Toyota rolls these things out.
I think part of it is demographics. Facebook's userbase is and continues to trend older especially for Facebook/WhatsApp and slightly for Instagram as well compared to TikTok/Snap. I'm not saying Facebook has abandoned the younger demo but wants to continue to cater to the earning and older demo. We're not going to live in Wall-E's world but when the older generation no longer wants to or can engage in IRL experiences that require being full mobile and healthy, AR and moreso VR will allow them to immerse themselves and "preserve" youth well longer than we thought possible. We are at an interesting time in history where wealth inequality is growing and the wealth transfer from rich to poor and more significantly from old to young may not happen as quickly as society needs it to. If the older demographic can and wants to hold on a decade or 2 longer compounded with healthcare advances giving them longer life expectancy and their existing investments/savings growing well, who knows what and when the future will look like?

I know your comment is tongue-in-cheek but ha! I don't know about that. The Prius, even if it's just a hybrid, probably led to more aggregate fuel/carbon emission savings than every (non-tesla/chinese manufacturers) EV model combined.

"Old school" manufacturers like BMW and VW may look like they are doing better because of the dozens of models they've released but the actual sales numbers are so tiny that their impact is basically 0.

The Prius on the other hand was a massive sales success, and it really was what made hybrids a thing.
>A 100-megaton bomb releases 10 times more energy than a 10-megaton bomb, but it does not do 10 times more damage. This is because the blast effects of explosions scale as a cubic root, not linearly. So a 10-megaton bomb detonated at an optimal altitude might do medium damage to a distance of 9.4 miles (15 kilometers) from ground zero, but a 100-megaton bomb “only” does the same amount of damage to 20.3 miles (33 kilometers). In other words, a 100-megaton explosion is only a little more than twice as damaging as a 10-megaton bomb.

Area scales as square of radius, so (assuming the radius calculations are right, the ratios are approx cube root of 10 which is napkin-level correct) more than 4x as much area is effected (incinerated).

Doesn't change much about the political/historical issues, but you would fail high school math for this.
With extreme sports you can tell people what you did, and it ain't subversive!

With a well executed, audacious bank robbery you can't tell a soul and every day there is that fear that they will catch you. Even if you ditched that small thing that uniquely connects you to the crime into the uninhabited wilds of Siberia, someone will have seen you go there. Plus you have to explain where the money is from. Even if that is just to your mum.

The thrill is two fold, in the immediate aftermath, getting away with it. And secondly of deception. You have secrets you can't tell. It is human nature to always tell, so this requires mental agility.

What makes this bank robbing special is the bike. It is the perfect getaway vehicle in a society where the police can only follow things up if they have car things to work on.

Well... Tesla have said they are planning to triple the size of the supercharger network over the next two years. Cf. https://electrek.co/2021/10/21/tesla-plans-triple-supercharg...

And they did have a 79% market share of all EVs sold in the US last year (though, that is expected to be lower this year, and the EV market segment is growing very fast). Cf. https://www.thedetroitbureau.com/2021/08/as-ev-sales-double-....

In Canada, Tesla is deploying supercharger stations with separate, dedicated chargers for all other brands to take advantage of government subsidies.

I wouldn't put it past them to prioritize their own cars in some way when they finally open up to other makes.

I'm not a troll, and in the early 2000s I worked on renewable energy installations (off-the grid solar and microhydroelectric) and during that time I lived for a 14 months in a self-sustaining, off-the-grid community (left when it got a little cult-y). I did all sorts of green building (primarily cordwood/earth plaster) techniques, and worked for one of the authors of this book:

He gifted me with a copy as a reviewer back then.

I'm a committed environmentalist, and I've grown deeply skeptical and disgusted with corporate douchebags who live in giant mansions and fly in private jets and pretend to really care about the environment. Haven't you?

It's obviously functioning as a religion-like tool for them to reclaim moral superiority due to a prevalent ideology that makes them feel guilty for their wealth. It lets them continue to keep their money and feel good again. You may disagree, but I'm not being disrespectful to you in any way. "I'm done with you" followed by ad-hominems isn't a productive response.

BTW, I take cold showers daily, keep my house at 65 in winter, turn off AC in summer and use open windows and fans. I drive a Tesla. I don't pretend to be super eco-friendly, but I'm sacrificing more than these posturing executives and board members do. I've met a few very prominent voices in this space, and been in a couple of their homes. They are gluttonous consumers of energy, raw materials, resources, and fossil fuel energy in general. People who live in 20,000 square foot homes should shut up about climate change. They tarnish the entire movement when they open their mouths.

The quip about "living wage" in those countries, paired with no apparent concern for people in your own country is exactly the rationalization made in boardrooms, when everyone knows it was driven by the bottom-line and nothing else. Your rationalization made it sound as if the intention of outsourcing was to help the environment. I think you know this is absurd. They reduced their costs and didn't lower their prices, so they could pocket the difference. Because that's what corporations are designed to do, and the posturing is serving the same purpose via emotional brand marketing for a target demographic.

Yes, but they’re referring to volume - which does scale as a “cube”. Bombs detonate in 3D, not 2D - moreso when aerial/aquatic.

Likely. I have (and like) a Prius Prime PHEV, hoping to drive it for years, but I would hope my next vehicle is fully EV, and I'd rather not have to get an SUV to do that. It'd be nice if Toyota could also bring a sedan or even compact EV to market.

Perhaps. But the Leaf alone is a significant counterpoint to that. Contrast with the abject market failure of the electric-from-the-ground-up i3.
Another benefit, it sounds like, is that you don't have to pay capital gains on selling those shares.

Like, let's say your intent is to donate $10k to some charity, out of the goodness of your heart and/or as a tax write off. You don't have that in cash, but do in stock.

You could liquidate $10k of stock, pay capital gains on it (if it appreciated since acquisition), then donate it. So you're out the capital gains tax.

The method you describe seems more efficient, since you don't need to sell; you simply transfer ownership of the asset.

Or is there still capital gains to be paid?

I wonder if billionaires are setting up charities as trusts for their kids, then "donating their shares to charity?"

It’s easy so say net win for society is privacy. But it’s important to also acknowledge it does come at a cost — there exists criminal behavior that most reasonable people would agree is bad and should be stopped that may reach a dead end with services like Signal.

Toyota has a key market advantage among ICE power trains. They do not have a key market advantage with electric power trains. (Though they should, given their decades of Prius production.)
Paywalled. Herd immunity is not one strict number. It depends on the transmissibility of the virus. Alpha was more. Delta is much more. Now A.Y variant is slightly more than Delta. All these affect the herd immunity number. But you can't lay out these sort of qualifiers when you are communicating to public. Seems like by using words like "political operative" and all you really show your ignorance.

Well, somebody has to have access to live prod. That somebody should avoid using it too.

Anyway, everybody should run their queries on a prod-like environment before running on prod, but on Oracle that's really not enough. Also the places that use expensive DBMSes tend not to have a lot of non-prod environments for people to test their scripts.

Nowadays Oracle supports you engineering your data so some of it is not on the bottleneck of anything and you can give some low amount of access to inexperienced people. But that's not the default situation.

In Iraq the intel was lacking. You have a car or a person and the prior locations they've been (only a subset, because spotty coverage) but you don't know who's in the car or who the person is unless you've already allocated resources toward them (i.e. they're someone already on your radar of being interesting).

In rich first world nations who have money they can freely piss away on database integrations and all other manner of orwellian shit you get much more info. A license plate is as good as bank records and a life story of the owner.

As another commenter pointed out, you are misinformed regarding Motorola Solutions' profitability.

As far as 150,000->18,000 employees, that's primarily because Motorola spun off/sold off so many business units (ON Semi, GD Decision Systems, Freescale, Continental, Cambium, Zebra, and of course the split with Motorola Mobility). Most of these spinoffs exist today and are successful. As to whether spinning them off was a good idea or not, I can't really say, but the idea that Motorola has imploded or ceased to exist is just wrong.

When measured, it apparently came out to about 262.5 Hz for Sonicare.

And that makes sense. On the face of it, the idea that the bristles are vibrating in the MHz range is just absurd. "Ultrasonic" is by definition above the human range of hearing, which is about 20,000 Hz as you said. I own a sonicare. I've heard it. It's not inaudible. :-)

In my personal experience with tiktok it will pigeonhole you rapidly. But overall the platform is heavy on silly and fun content (not sure if it intentionally maintained like that by the owners). So before you know it you are pigeonholed into extremely fun stuff (compared to tediously polarizing content on other big apps).

Now over time it might devolve into bad content if there is no higher level moderation to keep it on lighter side of things. I would personally be okay with not all platforms being totally democratic.

> Because this role of the genders is hard to replace, even English has retained the gender for pronouns.

Only vestigially. He is a single human man/boy (or maybe a pet), she is a single human woman/girl (or maybe a pet or a boat), everything else is it/they. This is very different from what I would consider truly gendered languages, where every single noun is independently gendered (like the knife, fork, spoon example in the article: das Messer, die Gabel, der Löffel)

> The second role for the genders was for adjectives. By making the adjectives repeat the gender of the noun to which they applied, when there are no hash collisions it is clear to which nouns the adjectives are connected, otherwise, like for pronouns, the sentences remain ambiguous.

> This was important in the old languages, with free word order, where the adjectives were not necessarily placed besides their nouns.

Is this really the case? I don't know Latin, but AFAIU, adjectives have to go right next to their nouns. In any case it only helps by 'luck'. If you happen to have multiple nouns with the same gender in your sentence, you get no power to disambiguate. My understanding had always been that it's declension based on case that allows Latin to have a free word order. I can see the value of declension, it's harder for me to understand the value of gender.
I’m the opposite. Lost 20lb during WFH eating healthy meals at home with the occasional takeout cheat meal. Gained it all back once I had to return to the office and resort to eating supposedly “healthy” meals provided by the company. No time to prep at home because frankly after being punched kicked and beaten up by the 800lb gorilla that is the miserable commute I’m in no mood to do so.
