I mean, my lifetime experience is one of "being different". I was fundamentally different from my classmates since day 1. Teachers picked up on it immediately and were concerned that, while I breezed through everything and seemed to be very "sharp" (or whatever funny word they would use), I was totally disinterested and seemed bored and unhappy. I was. I learned nearly everything I was shown instantly, and usually understood it effortlessly. In grade 3 I excelled so strongly at spelling that the teacher had me make the weekly spelling tests. In grade 5 I was the only kid who actually copied down and memorized "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" and "phthatlylsulfithiazole" when the teacher wrote them on the board to be funny (though he spelled them wrong at the time, I later learned). FWIW I just typed those from memory without checking their spelling.

Environment surely does play some part. I grew up in a home that fostered intellect, learning, growth etc. I'm sure there are countless studies on "nature vs. nurture" and my subjective view is both are relevant, perhaps even fairly 50/50. But my life growing up I was the exception to the norm in all environments. I have some really stark examples that could really hit this home but I'm not going to post them on here, but... there's a lot of truth to the "differentness of giftedness".
The thing is that I still want BW to give me the possibility to choose a site to fill in (so I do need the popup). It is just that sometimes I need it out of the way, and there is no gesture for that (such as sliding it to the side for instance, or long pressing to make it go away)

I don't think the dominance of English has much to do with the quality of English or American cartoons or their wider culture. Even ignoring the British Empire, the USA has been one of the largest ever continental empires for 200 years and is now a quasi hegemonic global empire with around 600 overseas military bases and the ability and willingness to launch military strikes and enforce it's will across large swathes of said empire. Knowing the language of your overlords has always been a good idea and English is now even more widespread as a second language than when the British were stomping around engaging in the odd genocide and searching for a decent meal. I suspect that even if Germany produced the most amazing cartoons in the world only a tiny fraction of people would ever to learn it compared to English. That's what dubbing and subtitles are for.

Having said that, between roughly 1850 and the end of the second World War it was considered necessary for engineers and scientists in the UK and USA at least to know German because of the German's achievements in science and technology (especially chemistry) and the political and economic power of the various central European states and empires controlled by German speaking elites. Gaining a competitive advantage over your peers and expanding your knowledge has always been a good incentive to learn another language independent of wanting to learn what your occupiers are saying.

> Worst of all, she's realizing that her teachers and principal don't actually care whether she learns anything.

If one goes through life expecting people they encounter to care about them, they'll be bitterly disappointed. Some of my teachers were nice to me, and would go out of their way to help if I asked. Did they really care about me? I doubt it. They were just good people. The rest of of my teachers were pretty indifferent. A couple actively disliked me (my own fault).

But what I wanted was not caring, but for them to do their job.

A success for Apple's strategy. It can't work in all the other countries were the primary messaging app even for iPhone users are WhatsApp or similar apps.
Nah, just a passing fad
We have a box of bricked Google branded handsets in the office. It’s quite normal. They’re not worth repairing or replacing. Conversely we have no dead iPhones at all (apart from where some idiots cratered them). We’re rolling out iPhone 12 and 13 to replace the androids. In fact a friend of mine’s flagship galaxy that is 11 months old dropped dead in the middle of nowhere the other day and left her up shit creek. She went to the apple store on Monday and bought an iPhone 13.

> NATO is a military coalition that sits outside the regular National framework of war making.

False.

> If a member is attacked, that is a declaration of war on ALL members

Also false.

> Consider a rogue state/leader member picking war with a nuclear power and escalating to the point of no return. What then?

Sucks to be the rogue state, but assuming you meant for the rogue state to be a NATO member, I don't see even a theoretical problem for NATO, but perhaps instead of posing a question you’d like to actually make an argument that makes sense given the actual text of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty and the scope of the right of self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter.

> The objectives that NATO seem to want

Well, “seem to want” is rather amorphous and subjective, and so is your description, which doesn't even say what objectives you think NATO “seem to want”.

> For all the dick waving that Putin has done, the threat of war with severe consequences has been initiated by

...Russia, each time they've actually invaded another section of Ukraine. Which isn't just a threat of war with severe consequences, but an actual war, and crime of aggression, with severe consequences.

That’s not just “dick waving”, which is a better metaphorical description of the NATO response to date than the Russian action.

> unelected bureaucrats at NATO.

The top decision-makers at NATO are the heads of government of the members, who are, though indirectly in some cases, all elected.

You spend as many years as they did talking about only hiring the best of the best, it was inevitable that they would disappear up their own asses and lose any ability they ever had to tell good from bad. In that light I can't imagine them being devastated by anything other than the humiliation of a golden child getting a B. Beyond that, when you're sucking untold billions out of the industry (and society) while they slept, the "waste" of money was just points on a chalkboard. I mean, look at it from a few steps back: even with what you/they would describe as an existential competition against Facebook, that's what they came up with. "The best of the best." As a corporation they aren't businesspeople, they're rich kids with more money than they can ever spend and they have been that for at least 20 years.
>So don't get huffy if potential visitors go to social media instead.

Which is also shit, albeit more expensive shit. Facebook looks like a Fischer Price toy due for a recall.

Learning a new language to fluency takes hundreds of hours at least, some languages require thousands of hours. That's not the fault of educational practices. It just takes time to memorize thousands of unknown words and figure out in which context they are used.
And sometimes things are just that - stupid. Putin uses fear mongering to appear more important than he is. As a soon has he faces resolute and strong response, he hides with his tail between his legs. If you want to stress cultural nuance here, you can look into Russian criminal subculture, which will give you a very good idea about Putin's modus operandi.

It doesn't mean you should underestimate the damage he can cause. But you shouldn't assign him more value or long term thinking than he actually has. That's exactly what Putin wants - not to appear as sheer mediocrity that he is.
Universal health care is probably the best example. Another example is universal maternal leave.

> i'd ask you to consider that China and her allies, Iran, Turkey, North Korea and Pakistan suddenly moved Radar equipment and denial of airspace missile batteries to Mexico, Canada and Cuba tomorrow.

This would be seen as extremely destabilizing. But the key for me is: who agrees to uphold international law, respect borders?

The reason Russian missiles in Mexico should worry Americans but NATO forces in Lithuania should not worry Russia is simple: NATO doesn’t have a history of annexing countries. This is no trivial difference.

The dialog playing out is really

Ru: promise to stop putting forces on our borders

NATO: would you promise to never move a border by force in these neighbors?

Ru: No. We don’t really recognize “borders” or “sovereignty” of other countries.

No war is going to be started here until someone crosses a border.
Is it normal for Americans to assume that anything not from the US is "European"?

It didn't have E2E encryption, sync across devices or work as a transparent(-ish) SMS substitute/overlay. It was more of a nice but late-to-the-party AIM clone, which wasn't really the direction of instant messaging was headed. Google's IM strategy was and is a mess but gchat wasn't even in the same category of messenger by the time Apple got serious about iMessage.
Not quite sure what you were doing. I have been using Android since the HTC Desire Z (T-Mobile G2 in the US) in 2010, I’ve been rooting and installing multiple custom roms (only on my last phone did I switch to just staying on official LineageOS), and I never had a single phone get bricked. I have no idea how you managed to do that while staying on stock, not have I ever heard of people having such issues.

None of my Android phones lasted under 2 years, my last one lasted almost 5 years and only got replaced because I wanted a slightly better camera, and both the battery and USB-C connector started to fail.

But maybe the issue is just with Samsung or Google phones, Samsung I dislike as much as Apple, Google phones (the Pixel ones, I had the Nexus) seem overpriced for my needs.
What do people with Android phones use, SMS?

In Europe not only Android is dominant but people use WhatsApp or Messenger. iPhone owners must use them too as their primary messaging app. I guess they have their iMessage full with SMS from banks and other notifications, like my Android SMS app.

FWIW, I'm reading this on an early 2013 MBP. I think it would still have years of use in it, but new MacOS versions don't support it any more and I have this gut feeling that Linux maintainers aren't okay with the idea of supporting decade old hardware from the hateful enemy.
Careful, pre-fork as described in the given link as worker processes each handling many requests. This result therefore does not answer the question about the cost of one process per request. The one that does seems to be fork, which is way less efficient (~460 seems like a low number of processes spawned per second though, can we really not do more?).
> as opposed to our current tax system?

Who said anything about replacing the current tax system? They just propose to slap additional tax on your RSUs.
I like to read child psychology and a recurring theme is that children, especially as they reach adolescence, benefit greatly from mentors outside of their immediate family. Whether it’s an uncle or a retired Russian maths professor, it tends to offer something parents often can’t at those (and sometimes all) stages of development.

I’ve found that somewhat liberating as a parent. We should all embrace and encourage that if we can find it for our kids.
I've tried it. One crucial bit of this software is the ability to make chains of cards/items easily so as to link ideas together. They are called 'note sequences' in the app and they can be viewed in the Outliner. There is also less focus on all the other stuff that Obsidian and Roam do, like exposing similar content via automatic search, which can sometimes be confusing and overwhelming. This is much more stripped down and like using an electronic version of index cards.

Hey why is it that all these sites are always about how the old web was good and we should make things like the old web, but the only thing they ever make is stuff about how we should make things like the old web.

I mean I would expect them to after making the first site suggesting you do it like this, to make a number of sites showing the aesthetic put to other subjects of interest. Like, Carl's Icosahedron Spot on the WEB might be an example site but no.

It's almost like they don't have anything else to say but make it like it used to be.

> All children will benefit from small class sizes, individualized lesson plans, encouragement to pursue their passions, etc etc.

You don't need any of that for a gifted program. You just need to teach more advanced material, and at a faster pace. There's no reason whatsoever it should cost more.

Heck, my freshman physics class in college had 150 students in it. It blew by high school honors physics in 3 or 4 lectures. I learned a crap ton in it. It was terrifying, but also exhilarating.
Hm. But as stated this is mostly a US thing because of critical mass. Most people I know already use at least two or three services so honestly they don’t really care what service you are on. I remember that in uni people who didn’t have messenger were “annoying” because it was the service which almost all of the group had (while everybody had also others like WhatsApp, hangouts, kakao and whatnot)
Libertarianism is always unpopular if people are afraid. And I believe many are very afraid now.

That said, I believe it is insufficient to only have this perspective, but of course that changes from person to person.

Expanding the law to disallow corporate surveillance would be almost too trivial. But nobody did it because they smelled it might lead to advantages.

> You can only stay 3 months to look for a job.

This isn't quite accurate either. You can stay as a tourist, but otherwise it's a good old Catch 22:
- no one will allow you to rent an apartment (and therefore get a permanent address / residency) without a job contract and without a residence permit
- you won't get a residence permit without a job contract.
- but if you don't have a permanent address and a residence permit, you could just as well apply for jobs from your own country, because what's the difference?

I guess it is easier to go to job interviews if you are staying at an AirBnb, but otherwise no point in staying in Switzerland, unless you are a millionaire, in which case you can support yourself anyways, so the above does not apply to you.

This is actually one noteable difference to EU countries, where you can just move to as you want, you most probably need to register but don't need to apply for a work permit separately.

PS. There is another way. Many people live in Germany, close to the Swiss border, and commute to Switzerland. But if you are a German you already knew that, and if you are not, it's probably not much easier for you to get a job this way :)

It isn't a gold plate. It advertises itself as solid gold. It is in fact solid nickel, with 200-400 mg of gold peppered in. It's also at most 6.4 x 12.8 cm plate, which is tiny. If it were solid gold at 19.3 g/cm^3, it would have a thickness of 2.6 µm which is thin compared to your approx. 50 µm human hair. It is not, and therefore it is not solid gold.
There are a few things here with `width: 100vw`. This is annoying on platforms that don’t use overlay scrollbars because 100vw is wider than the page and so forces a horizontal scrollbar, and I don’t think it was done deliberately. All should be changed to `width: 100%`.

(The viewport units are fundamentally stupidly broken by design, including scrollbar areas, so that if your website has scrollbars they will give you a wrong answer, that the actual viewport width will be things like 17px less than 100vw. There used to be a convoluted way of unbreaking the units with the mild side-effect of forcing the presence of a scrollbar—it involved `overflow: scroll` on the body element, from memory—but Firefox was the only one that implemented it and after some years they collectively gave up and removed it from the spec. So now I say there are literally zero completely legitimate and reasonable uses of viewport units, though there are a few uses where the amount of error is tolerable, though still not a good idea.)

Multichain under fire from users as hacking losses grow to $3M
There is a Second Brain PIM/PKMS graph based app released in public beta now called rea.ch
For one thing, the DOE emergency market waiver to temporarily exceed emissions limits set a market floor price of $1500. [0] So that's your starting price before buyers ever bid/compete for those MW.

(Emissions limits are especially difficult in cold weather due to a less complete burn off and less atmospheric mixing. But this isn't to spinup new dirty power, so much as to run existing plants at full capacity without having to reduce output to more ideal levels for emissions purposes.)

To dispel a few other points that get repeated without much thought:

Texas' grid isolation didn't contribute. Surrounding grids including in Louisiana and Oklahoma were also undersupplied and operating under emergency conditions with requests for voluntary reduced consumption, and were also dangerously close to blackouts. Connections to grids without surplus power doesn't solve anything.

Wind power was frozen in and decreased over 97% over the previous 2 weeks as blades iced over or wind speed exceeded allowable limits. Solar was also iced over. Which led to a premature demand for gas peaker plants to offset this loss via a 450%+ increase in generation. So peakers were needed to offset intermittent renewables instead of as a buffer to meeting peak demand.

"Winterizing" NG plants, wells and lines is complex. What's simple and mostly ignored, is an overloaded NG system causes pressure drops, and pressure drops contribute disproportionately to condensate (both water and methane hydrates) freezing and reducing flow, which is a runaway condition. Pressure drops affects this much greater than temperature (even propane tanks in summer ice up when used at a high rate for an extended time). An increase in NG supply (more wells and pipes) would have greatly improved things without any "winterizing".

Coal and nuclear plants don't suffer from this fuel supply limitation since they have on-site fuel supplies, and the recent closure of 20%+ of the states coal capacity surely contributed, as do the remaining closures going back a decade+ of increased EPA regulation.
