Sadly, very true. I don't know how it was on 5.7 and before, however, at least since v8.0, even patch updates have an alarm probability of breaking existing installations, due to either bugs, or subtle changes in existing functionality.

I copied Firefox to %programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft\Edge\Application and renamed its executable to msedge.exe.

Cool. I've only been to London once, but I distinctly remember being disturbed by how dead everything was. I'm not sure how accurate the stat, but I recall Table Mountain having more floral species than the entire UK.
Yeah this is sort of like littering. One wrapper on the ground does not mean much. But millions of them do. Which is basically what many of these companies have done. Basically lots of 'little' things that add up to a big thing. In this particular case it sounds like the one who brought the case did not sufficiently show the court that any harm had occurred? Reading the output to the case probably would be better here instead of playing telephone with an article and why it is 'sending shockwaves'. This sounds more like 'you did not make your case try again some other time'.
It was a failed social network to help you reconnect with old friends. It tried to get you to recruit your friends immediately after registering and had a typical social network license. I'd say that description is intentionally describing it in the worst possible light, but not wholly inaccurate.
Silently gathering data about a person's activities without their knowledge is antithetical to human dignity and people's freedom. It's no accident that no tracking is done in the open or asks for permission.

Money is not the definite metric by which everything can or should measured.

I recently heard some startling facts about forest cover in the UK. (Forest cover is the amount of forest covering the land.) The UK has only approximately 13% forest cover. In Europe, only Denmark and Netherlands have similarly low coverage.

These facts came from a BBC Radio 4 programme called More or Less [1]

In France, Italy, Spain, and Germany, approximately one third of the land is covered in forests. Finland has an impressive 73% forest cover.

Forest cover has always been small in the UK for the past few hundred years. The Industrial Revolution was not the cause of the small forest cover in the UK.

An estimate from the Forest Commission (a UK government department) is that forest cover in England in the 1100s was only about 15%. After World War I, it dipped to its lowest point - 5%. It's currently about 13% in England (similar in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Why is forest cover so small in the UK? About 5000 years ago, people started cutting down forests to use the land for agricultural use. Even in Roman times, Britain had a reputation for growing lots of produce.

One of the reasons that other European countries have retained greater forest cover is because they have mountain ranges which makes it much harder to convert that land into agricultural use.

[1] More or Less: Behind the Stats: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09x66st (The discussion on forest cover starts approximately at the 24-minute mark.)

---

Edited to add:

The BBC radio programme cites it's source for statistics on forest cover as the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. Their 2020 Global Forest Resources Assessment is another source of fascinating stats:

- Forests cover nearly 1/3 of land globally

- More than half (54 percent) of the world’s forests are in only five countries: the Russian Federation (20%), Brazil (12%), Canada (9%), the USA (8%) and China (5%)

- Rest of the world makes up the rest (46%)

It’s often stated that in theory each branch of government is equal, in practice the idea of the constitution splitting power into three exactly equivalent portions is kind of silly.

As you point out it’s somewhat arbitrary how much weight to assign to each individual branch of government. But, the judicial branch sure tells the legislative branch no far more often than the reverse (edit: than the legislature tells to judicial branch no.). Hypothetically the ability to modify the constitution is a real power the legislature holds across the state and federal levels, in practice a divided legislature has issues passing via simple majority.

Which adds another layer to these assessments. Does the each branch actually have the powers it should hypothetically have or only those it can actually exercise in practice?
I think it is a learning mechanism. The real world is very deterministic, if a process has seemingly random outcomes then most likely there is something about it you don't understand, so you repeat it over and over trying to make connections to understand why the different outcomes happens.

You can see this a lot in gambling addicts trying to find different ways to beat the system etc, trying to predict which number will appear (even though it isn't possible) and so on. Our brains just aren't made to deal with lotteries since lotteries isn't a thing found in nature. Some things looks like lotteries, some nuts might be bad after you open them so was a waste of time, but then you open many nuts and think hard trying to predict which nuts will be bad, and then you no longer need to open the bad ones saving you lots of work. But the artificial nuts are just random, there is no system to solve, so people just get stuck.

That is absolutely not true, regardless of what the hiers of Hobbes would like you to believe. Co-ops, mutual aid societies, some of the Kibbutzen, and various anarchistic communes have operated in non-hierarchical ways

You can debate the effectiveness of these arrangements; it’s clearly true that hierarchical orgs are the norm, and they have a tendency to expand via force. But to say that there is “no human institution on earth” that doesn’t use hierarchies and dominance is just not true.

So there's no need to re-pressurise the station after every few cars anymore? At least a year ago this caused queues in Californian H2 stations, people had to queue for 30-40 minutes waiting for their turn.

Hydrogen price in Germany, with government support, is around 9.5€/kg. Toyota Mirai's consumption is about 1kg/100km, making the cost to drive 100km 9.5€.

You can drive the same distance with an EV for a third or half of the price, depending on where you charge. (0.20€/kWh for public charging, consumption around 15-20kW/100km = 3-4€/100km)

The Mirai, without the insane Californian rebates and subsidies, is around 80k€ in Europe. You can get a fully loaded (FSD and everything) Tesla Model 3 LR for 10k€ less.

How to Choose the Best Roofing for Your Commercial Place
True! I'm experimenting with Ecosia right now, but also recently got on the beta for the kagi.com search engine which so far has proven to be vasty superior to any other that I've tried.
You might have heard concrete is the strongest material there is, but that does not mean it is invincible. Concrete can face damages, especially if you have it for a long time because it regularly takes outdoor and other elements. Similarly, your roof, regardless of its materials, can be damaged. But, you can get it fixed by finding the right roof repair in North York.
Strange. The proprietary software you run after you perform a repair has a specific port requirement and you can only use the left side ports. I always wondered what was so special about these ports.
At least it's white noise. Tonal is far worse :D

I was once in a similar situation. Needed the document in order to understand QR codes so I could contribute to the zbar project. Was forced to use some outdated draft I found online.

I simply don't understand the point of this gatekeeping. IETF RFCs are how things should be done.
Top schools are top schools by general awareness and perception, which, if you want to correlate with anything probably correlates best to athletics.

Ivy League schools are tied together by their athletics league. For most Ivy League schools tuition is a nominal part of their overall revenue. Those same schools are largely free if you are low to medium income (and are able to be accepted).

You state it in your reply, “community colleges are an euphemism for the cheapest degreeone could get that formally counts as one, so it is perceived accordingly.”

A college’s precieved educational value is more important than actual educational value as it pertains to attracting students. Therefore schools cannot afford to be precieved as “cheap” or “bargain-based” if they want to have a reputation for strong academics.
> Big players owning the schools also becomes a huge risk since parents can easily just go elsewhere.

You seem to keep assuming this, but it's just not true. Parents with means can go elsewhere, and even then to a limit. But all that does is leave the schools and kids that are left behind even worse off. And the big schools can keep buying up the other schools. There's only so many places within a range where parents can take their kids, not to mention there'd need to be a minimum amount of kids to even justify keeping one open.

> Those big players would have to be doing a very good job to keep everybody, compared with the current situation where most people seem to do it because they have no choice.

No they really don't. We see this all the time with other big companies. I fail to see how privatizing education makes it any different than every other private enterprise out there.

> Where in the world are you seeing a school bus route that goes 2 hours each way?

Rural United States. I had students literally have to be on the bus at 5:30 in order to get to school at 7.30. They also didn't get home until 5:30 or later at night, depending on weather.

> Ideally, the creation of schools a lot closer to those kids would become possible.

Population dynamics prevent it.

> And a transport hub is perfectly normal and even reasonable. It simplifies the entire pickup and drop off process. Who knows, maybe UPS can show us how it’s done?

Sure, if you're willing to have kids commute multiple hours a day, and have to switch buses (maybe several times?) and somehow expect that to not impact their success.
Maintenance is a big issue when you are using a no-code system to create another system which someone else will use (e.g. to create a business application).

But if you are using a no-code system to create an artefact (e.g. to wrangle data into a new format) then that issue isn't so relevant.

Such ram capability would result in implementing hybrid compressed caches. Why waste whole cache line for storing zeroes when you can have dedicated compressed representation.

I have a 2019 MBP that runs hot because it's supporting an external monitor. The year before every laptop became a WFH desktop, Apple decided that running an external monitor could be a massive heat issue and nobody would care. It's literally burning out my work laptop, and soon I'll have to ask IT for a new one. Apple doesn't care, though: they already got paid.

As I understand it, though, most of the thermal issues are to do with the north bridge and the video card. Basically, Intel's power model for USB is built around performance, not thermals. GamersNexus actually has some interesting videos about this, but at the end of the day Intel shit the bed on northbridge performance while developing USB-4 support.

I wildly speculate that this is a massive part of why Apple moved to their own silicon: to get away from Intel, who is clearly losing every competition they're in. (I don't know why Apple didn't go toward AMD, but I expect GPU hang-ups were part of it.)
I've been using ClearURLs for a while so I never even realized that DDG used referrer links. Have they always done this?
The new MacBooks from a few weeks ago can due to Apple putting some effort into the GPU. I think they’re talking about the Intel MacBook Pro, which had meh cooling from what I hear. (Although if you want to see bad cooling, try out a Surface. Throttle city after anything strenuous.)

> Two way data binding is not a constant source of bugs

Every team using AngularJS _did_ have those problems (not to say it didn’t have some niceties also). It was one of the big architectural changes in Angular (2+) as a direct result. React does not have this feature; passing down a setter function is not the same as automatic 2-way binding.

As to your first point, different things feel like magic to different people, so it’s really hard to debate this with other people with different perspectives unless maybe your talking about single specific instances. It’s like trying to tell someone they don’t feel cold because you don’t feel cold or vice versa.
I do want to say I completely agree with most of what you have said. Current schools are not capable of handling it. But I don't think there's any possible model of schools that can handle it, except, as you said, keeping kids out of their homes when they're in these situations. That's why I don't think any model of vouchers will work, and will just make things worse for the kids whose parents can't afford or don't want to make things better for them.

Basically, to fix this problem, we need to fix the societal issues in the country, not the schools. That's something I entirely agree with. My disagreement is that I think switching to a voucher system and things like that only makes matters worse for those who can't take advantage of just moving for whatever reason.
If we don’t want to have micro superfund sites, are we taxing EVs via refundable deposits sufficiently to ensure toxic metals are not left around?

So you need to to randomize the value of the treat. Otherwise the dog knows the upper bound of the opportunity and the same reasoning applies.
This lateral shift on a 2x2 grid is equal to rotation. In each iteration tiles are shifted/rotated but its content is not. So the content is split into smaller tiles which are rotated but the content is not, so it is split and so on until you reach pixel level.

Yes, but Table Mountain has ridiculous floral diversity. There are widely considered to be six floral kingdoms [0]: the northern hemisphere, the tropics, Africa and southern Asia, South America, Australia, the Antarctic, and the tip of South Africa. My (probably incorrect) understanding is that each of these is similar to the others in floral diversity.
