Is it? I thought both it and food were excluded from the core index because their prices were too "volatile"
Well no, I'm just trying to get the conversation started because the article mentioned that this was a pain point for people. If you have suggestions I'd love to hear it. I don't have all the answers, as I mentioned before this is something that needs to be decided collectively.
Why Nobody Wants This Part of Africa
> Once the house was sold to the new owner for £131,000 by the person impersonating Mr Hall, they legally owned it.

That's nuts. Why isn't it the case that the person who failed to properly vet the seller is out of £131,000 and the house? So I can "buy" a local mansion and then say "oops, I didn't know this random guy didn't own it. Oh well."
That just adds jitter on a month to month basis. Purchases remain nice and steady over time.
This is also why, until the Roberts court gutted the VRA, the courts looked at outcomes of policies and not just intent -- anyone can say the intent was to stop fraud, but if the outcomes are suppression, that used to matter. No more, and that's why state legislatures have jumped at the chance to enact so many laws that "stop fraud" (a problem for which there has not been, and still does not have, any evidence.)
It’s not fundamentally impossible to build fast apps in JS. It’s just not possible to do if you don’t do the legwork of writing code that the compiler will optimize for you. It’s not easy, and it’s not natural in a lot of cases, but saying it is fundamentally impossible goes too far: people build high performance applications like games in JS.

For example, you are worried about value types but under the hood the JIT compiler will actually generate efficient representations that are passed by value if you do not mess things up for it. Modern JS compilers are extremely sophisticated.

For returning values without an allocation, you’d create such a “struct” and then use a memory pool. It would still be heap allocated I believe but not totally sure. People who know more than I do could probably tell you a better method to return multiple values from a function efficiently.

I'm a proficient home cook and baker, on occasion I bring baked goods to work. Invariably, people tell me this thing that I've brought is Delicious! Because it's not TOO sweet! There's a weird disconnect between the commercial manufacturer and the consumer, there's no signalling mechanism; since all manufacturers ratchet up the sugar in everything, consumers don't have a valid choice for something less sweet. The "reduced" label -- I frequently see "reduced salt" or "30% less sodium" on things like bacon, canned beans. The "reduced sugar" I typically see on Weight Watcher or "diet" products. The normal stuff is tooth-achingly sweet, and covered with additional sugar drizzle or sprinkles. People (and even sadder, little kids) are now conditioned to respond to these ridiculous excess with delight, as if it were a special reward.

A while ago I went one month without any added sugar, I cut out dried fruits and reduced fruit intake. On the weekends I allowed myself one tablespoon of fruit jam. After the first week, the jam tasted incredibly sweet, but delicious. When I went back to normal eating, everything tasted incredibly sweet to me, and I thought two tablespoons of jam was unnecessary, and that was just one month!

We just celebrated Halloween here in the US. I think it was more special when cane sugar was more scarce and candy was really a special non-daily treat. No kid needs a tenth of the candy haul I see them carry around, and my office is in a glut of candies that were bought by the adults but not given away.
It depends on where you are. In my state (Oregon), voting is easy and secure. We vote by mail as a default and if you move and don't get your ballot, you can go to any voting office and request all the way up until when polls close on election day.

Now, if you are in republican held states like Alabama or Georgia, it's going to be a different story. republicans use several methods to disenfranchise voters, voter ID is just one of them.

1. republicans always aim to have the shortest polling hours possible. This benefits them because their base tends to be older and more time/ability to vote during the day. Working-class voters are especially impacted by this because if they can even get time off during the day, they probably will have to pay for the privilege of voting in the form of sacrificing hours at work and getting a reduced paycheck.

2. The second thing republicans do is close polling stations in areas they don't expect a lot of support. This creates massive wait times for folks who are more likely to vote Democrat.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/smartphone-data-s...

Those hourly workers who are already sacrificing money to vote have to take even more time off to cast their ballot.

3. Another tactic is voter roll purges. A lot of folks don't know that they've been unenrolled from the voter rolls till they show up on election day. This particularly effects renters who might not realize they aren't registered at their current address, and miss mail regarding it because its sent to their former address.

4. republicans will also just shamelessly attempt to discourage Democratic turnout. For example, Georgia got rid of voting early Sunday morning to put a damper on the 'Souls to Polls' movement. There is no rationalization for this. They didn't even bother to lie about it. They just wanted to squash a successful Black get-out-the-vote initiative.
I regularly read source code of the Rust standard library. With C++ I don't even bother, it's futile.
I don't see anything political or absurd in this article, what do you mean?
Even SQLite3 does this. https://www.sqlite.org/queryplanner.html says under "Sorting":

> Furthermore, the entire output is accumulated in temporary storage (which might be either in main memory or on disk, depending on various compile-time and run-time settings) which can mean that a lot of temporary storage is required to complete the query.

It also will sometimes create an index during a query. https://www.sqlite.org/tempfiles.html mentions this under "Transient Indices".

> not my container!

Good for you, seriously.

But that's not why people use containers. People use containers because they want to deploy random crap from the internet at the press of a button. I'd wager "rootless" is a bug, not a feature in this scenario.
But you really can switch to firefox and DDG today.

Firefox works perfectly well if you don't get wound up about silly details (mostly silly details that have been amplified by the internet which has told you to care about them, perhaps by Google astroturfing PR?) and you can DDG for 90-95% of your searches and fall back to google when it isn't doing well. Once you get over the initial few weeks of the learning curve there's very little cost to it.
The news organization is free to play it, but the person who recorded it would have still broken the law and opened themselves up to prosecution.

The article seems to complain about the blending of cultures from human history in a future galactic civilization. However, this is precisely what you'd expect if different groups left Earth and mixed in surprising ways as they migrated from planet to planet. For example, see the syncretic 'ZenSunni' cultural tradition in the Dune books.

Good science fiction (in my opinion) isn't just about technological advancements in a future world that just happens to be socio-politically identical to our own. In fact, the most dated and ignored science fiction of the 1950s has just this problem - a stultified 1950's society transplanted to outer space, somehow unchanged over the centuries.

In science fiction, you get to play with not just future technologies, but also future societies, future religions, future races and cultures, future ecosystems and so on. The author of this piece doesn't seem to grasp that concept, or that the reason for the persistence of the Frank Herbert Dune books is that they aren't fixed in the social era in which they were written.

many many many people did ask for them.

When they cross certain lines they become illegal harassment, and there are ways to handle them.

I've worked with people who have been fired for "cubicle farm in the financial services industry" type of behavior, and it's becoming less and less acceptable as time goes on.

In high school a group of boys was expelled for writing homophobic slurs on another student's locker.

I lived in NYC for a period of time, and it's a cake walk compared to spending time on social media. I did feel in danger at one point on the subway, but I was also helped out of that situation by a bystander... and the police were able to ID the individual with security footage (who had a history of causing problems and who I later provided testimony against in court).

With the anonymity of the internet, levers like this are often non-existent. Local police often don't even have the capability to understand it, let alone investigate it. I attempted to report death threats (which contained my home address) at one point and was referred to the FBI (which as far as I know, did nothing).

The mechanisms we have for handling problems like this IRL certainly aren't perfect, many people fall through the cracks, and mechanisms like the police can be very problematic in their own right... but the only time I've felt entirely helpless was when dealing with anonymous online harassment. It became very clear early on that no one was going to do anything about it, and the only way out was to attempt to "not exist" online.

> Consider the Democratic party lock on the US southern states for roughly 50 years after reconstruction.

Yet each party still controlled the government around half of the time, because the Republicans took the North.

Each party will change the amount necessary to flip the marginal district. The districts in the South were harder for Republicans to flip than some others, so they took ones it was easier for them to get, and didn't take the ones they didn't need.

> But I'm NOT going to claim that single party rule is impossible when there are hundreds of examples of it across the world.

The rest of the world uses different voting systems (or lack thereof). There was "single party rule" in the USSR and it wasn't because of gerrymandering.

In the US, there is title insurance. If the seller didn't have the legal right to sell the house, the house reverts to the legal owner, and the buyer is paid back by the insurance. It's not possible to get a mortgage without title insurance, and a cash buyer would be nuts to not demand it from the seller. In some states (example, California) it can get more complicated, though, because the right to sell a house isn't the same thing as the right to live in it. They buyer may own the house, but not have the right to force the current occupants to leave. That's why it's important to state in the contract that the house must be completely empty before the seller gets paid, and every month that it is not completely empty, a few thousand dollars is subtracted from the purchase price.

There are also many definitions on what a "book" is. Is a business book a book? Is a self-improvement book a book? Or are there only fiction books? How about e-books? Is there a size limit under which a text is not a "book" anymore? Depending on such points everybody might be already reading 60 books a year without even realizing it.
In France it's the notary's job ( who are the only ones who can validate a sale) to ensure that the seller is who they say they are, and that they do actually own the land/house/apartment. Wonder how that works across the Channel and whose responsibility it was.
Whataboutism. Canada has little to fear from US hegemony and a lot to fear from Chinese hegemony, it's as simple as that.
I think it should be pretty easy to destroy a foundry or damage it enough so that it's not functional, even when the power goes off or they run out of water they are significantly impacted, based on us foundry impacts in the past. Another interesting question is who would be hurt more by the TSMC Taiwan operations being destroyed. Would it be the West? China? Who depends on leading technology more? It would hurt both sides. I think in any shooting war it's inevitable that it would get destroyed. I think this is the reason why there's suddenly all these new foundry groundbreaking in Arizona and other places by multiple companies but also tsmc.
In California a recording without required consent is a crime when made. Intended use doesn't play into that. It is also separately prohibit from use as evidence in court except as evidence of violation of the law prohibiting such recording itself.

> If you wanted to play it on the news, however, you're still free to do that as far as I know.

Sure, if you want to advertise the crime you committed on the news you are permitted to do that.

There is no express prohibition on this in the California law, sure, but it probably is a good way to rack up civil liability as well as advertising your existing exposure to criminal liability. If Florida really has identical law in this area, I’d expect the same thing.
I get that you are trying to make me the butt of a joke, but you'll notice my original question was if we could come up with a objective definition. If you don't think we can then you could just say so.
