Last New Years Eve I was cooking with my SO and among other things, we were planning on having rice. I realized at that point that I had bought brown rice by mistake, instead of white rice (small package, both look the same around here). 10 minutes later we had white rice from one these dark stores.

That one time it was really useful.
Wow. What a resource. Do a search for "cDNA patent" and read how many things the Supreme Court can get wrong in just a few paragraphs. (Hint: cDNA is not "composite DNA").
I would prefer to store my money with an institution that follows the laws of my country. That seems pretty sensible.
This is dumb. The government shouldn't limit free speech (donations) from regular citizens.
Book collecting beyond a few hundred books that you love or reference often usually ends up as a burden where your collection owns you.
If you are running a business you need permits and those permits obviously include writing about how much traffic your business can generate, noise levels at specific times, how trash is taken care of, and so on.

Here it sounds like someone set up a garage business and didn’t fill out the paperwork.

Either that’s illegal or the city is some kind of anarcholiberal extreme (which could well be the case in this example seeing as the Netherlands is often on the liberal side of business regulation, but it wouldn’t generalize to other cities so it wouldn’t really be noteworthy)
They did a lot more than block the streets. A full year of constant riots, looting, burning down buildings and just this week in Louisville they paid 100k bail to release "activist" who walked into the office of a Jewish mayoral candidate and tried to shoot him point blank.
That would make us no better than China with their social credit system.
The few times I've donated money to anything in the past decade or so, including to relatively uncontroversial recipients, I've done it by mailing cash in an envelope with no return address. That was partly to avoid cancellation, but also it was to avoid the recipient putting me on a donor list so they could keep hounding me for more.

In one case the recipient became controversial after I sent the cash (earlier it had only been a little bit edgy or fringey) so I'm glad that I used that approach. Not worth getting hassled over $20.

Most likely it's a combination of factors: "big screens" look good on spec sheets and in stores, some people use smartphones are their primary computers, and probably cheaper/easier to manufacture too.
It really depends. If table cell order happens to conform with a logical reading order, yeah, screen readers generally figured out when to ignore table semantics. But if the reading order does not make sense going row by row, then they are terribly broken.

Nested divs aren't that bad. (Ignoring overall performance considerations. And even then I'd suspect that's less a concern than download and running all these JS libraries.) Nested divs with a mish-mash of poorly applied ARIA can get pretty bad though!

Table layouts are also terrible for anyone who is not viewing the site at the browser width you designed it for. Accessibility is more than screen readers, and the ability to zoom or adjust browser width or display on a different device (hello mobile) is incredibly valuable for a lot of people. And I'd argue that the "ease" of using table layouts disappears as soon as you try to accommodate for any of that.
For context, this fellow is a very knowledgeable local and his visualizations of the Canada's census data are great. Right now Canada is publishing its latest census, so it's a hot topic.
No.

Ontario has a conservative government, and the federal conservative party supported the convoy to some degree, and a few MPs met with truckers.

This would be similar to Democrats firing someone for donating to BLM.

Is there such precedent?
The Mastodon instance I run for me and my friends is several orders of magnitude more code than the wiki I once ran for me and my friends, never mind the Wordpress installation behind my personal site. Updating it is always a giant task of merging my tweaks back into the latest from the central repository, and getting the thousands of packages it depends on across three different package managers to work properly. I think that wiki was a tiny handful of Perl files. Maybe even just one. I still haven’t gotten webpack to stop deciding one of my custom SASS files doesn’t exist after the latest update, it’s clearly some other error behind this but I don’t have the energy to grovel through five miles of scrollback to try and trace it down right now.

Getting started in programming is a much bigger step compared to turning on your 8-bit computer and having its BASIC prompt right there, constantly inviting you to explore beyond typing load “cool game” followed by run.
I understand that right now people just want some way to make pages update with minimum fuss, but when you start talking about extending HTTP (even more), that automatically brings up the question of whether you're solving the wrong problem.

> What's the best way to do pub/sub on the Web?

I think it's the wrong question. Or at least it will become the wrong question at some point. Should we be pushing for web technologies even when we need communication models that the Web clearly was not designed for? After having used NATS for some things, web services, web sockets and all other related stuff feels archaic and byzantine. Too much ducktape on top of a very simple, but limited idea of hyperlinked documents.
> the solution is that you need to work less and rest more, rather than rely on 10 min delivery because you're mentally drained

That is presumably the goal of everyone in such a situation. In the meantime, it can help them get through it (I'm thinking of having a newborn here in particular, but there are also various other stressing times in an average life), though it makes me wonder if this inadvertently/indirectly supports this state of being because there is less incentive to change it back to something more healthy.

Edit: For my future reference, this comment is nonconstructive how? (Sometimes I wonder what the effect would be of showing the downvote button only after a comment has any replies at all, anything that's bad enough not to engage with should be flagged after all, but then it's very hard to measure objectively if that makes people get better feedback and use it for the better or not.)
The lowest hanging fruit for cancer cures is regenerative cloning. When your body develops cancer, get a head transplant onto a monoclonal, antigenless (ABO, HLA, etc.) body grown in a lab. The only cancers it doesn't solve are of the brain, blood, and head.

Of course we haven't built any of this technology because it's "icky". But we need to get over ourselves. Our bodies are biological machines. Cloning can be done ethically by decephalization genetically or surgically during development, then artificial innervation, life support, and hormonal development. Grow them in pig uteruses at industrial scale.

This approach also solves heart disease, kidney disease, and pretty much everything else.

You get a new heart, set of lungs, thymus... It'd likely increase lifespans dramatically.

You could choose your height, build, gender...

Once it's 20-30 years old and accepted tech, we'd probably even develop transgenic lines with fluorescent hair, increased endurance, magnetoreception, ...

Cancer is hundreds of different molecular breakdowns of different cell types. Changes to adhesion, proliferation, signalling, etc. Lots of different problems. And if we "fix it", we're doing nothing to repair the genes of the cells that directly led to cancer. They'll still be sitting on the precipice of developing it again.

Replace the body.
Physically it's like when I fly over Arizona and Las Vegas. Those are preposterous settlements. Dubai is that to the nth degree.

Dubai is so recently and explosively settled, you may not understand what I mean by decay. Cities evolve, change, decay, and hopefully renew. Dubai is a product of aggressive investment/subsidy by the royalty, directly or not. Parts of the city will decline. Aspects of the city will decline. Decay is inevitable, it's entropy. Cities are like life: they must actively renew themselves or they fade.

Dubai also is basically a modern slave labor state. How long will that persist? It seems untenable in the long term. Either the slave labor will leave or dry up, or rebel.

Dubai is attached to the oil age. It's excesses, abuses, etc are forgiven by the world elite because of the flow of oil money. That is going to end. Demand is going to PLUMMET worldwide as EVs displace first consumer transport, then local goods delivery, then long haul ground transport. Somewhere in the middle of "consumer transport" and "local goods delivery" the demand will drop by such a large and extended amount that the price won't really be profitable anymore.

Diversification is obviously the aim, and while this isn't authoritative, I've seen this in action with the bizarre satellite/branch universities Saudi Arabia paid various western universities to set up. Just because you throw money at it doesn't mean it sticks. Those universities couldn't find the people that would do the work of academia beyond the usual bullshit of rubber stamp diplomas that universities currently make sausage with.

The sand will consume it. Dubai has to actively keep sand dunes away. If that stops, and what if a section of a city decays and isn't work keeping the dunes away? Yes, the sand will "consume" it.

The oil kings are attempting the "pivot". They are fat, lazy, and unmotivated.
Can you imagine a scenario where such a donation both:

1) Contributes to a “law breaking” cause

2) Still aligns with your views?

It’s easy to talk about the correctness of this when the infringement seems pretty harmful/disruptive.

But social change is often messy, and protests often move into a grey area that is not so easy to judge. Whether you agree with this particular action, it raises much bigger questions than the current unfolding event.
Already happens. Here you can lookup anyone in the US https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/
Correct.

Have there been any Democrat staffers fired over donations to BLM?

P.S.

As a working class protest over conditions of employment, one could even frame this into a typical socialist strike type of thing, if it were politically profitable. Some of the left persuasion even worry that this sets precedent for extra-judicial strike funds seizures in the future.

I don't even know how "return to normalcy" (probably the shortest way to summarize the convoy's demands) is right or left, it is quite sad that we are discussing such basic concepts on the basis of blue-red spectrum.

I don't get this Reddit "Mrs. Karen Boomer" thing. It seems like a bit distasteful cross-generation discontent, aimed at ordinary people of that generation?

I had the torture to look for a new phone recently and one of my requirements was also a small size coming from a Pixel 3a (about 150mm iirc).

If you're looking for a small but flagship Android then there's currently only the Asus ZenFone (expensive) or the Galaxy phones (s21, a52) which are reasonable in size. But at least the Samsung are full of bloatware.

I think the main reason not more are being built because it's hard to fit in a decent battery and the latest hardware needs more power so phones get bigger.
I think one of the things people are forgetting lately is that civil disobedience, while a legitimate part of protest, historically has carried with it consequences. Rosa Parks was jailed. So was Martin Luther King. If you're out there trying to fight the system, you have to expect the system to fight back a little. What we're seeing in the past couple of years is this expectation that civil disobedience be easy and consequence-free. "I'll just go down to the protest, snap some pics for my insta, and then go do my laundry later in the evening." "Oh, let's fly over to the Capitol, break some windows, and then next week continue our respectable jobs as realtors like nothing happened."

I think this new batch of middle-class, suburbanite, generally older, and yes, predominantly white protestors is a little shocked to learn what other protesters in the past have known for quite a while.
You can have a successful protest that doesn't disturb the peace simply by gathering a large enough number of people to demonstrate that there's significant support for your demands.

Disturbing the peace will also inconvenience other people who might not have had an opinion before, but end up opposing your protest simply because they want to live their lives undisturbed. Unless you have a realistic plan to seize power, remaining peaceful is probably a better idea.

thanks much for the detailed response. these are good issues to be on the look out for as we explore this route for the two small non-profits i'm thinking about. it's always so frustrating to run into significant usability issues after-the-fact for things meant to be used by less tech-savvy folks. the forestry.io combo still looks promising, so i'll dig into it more with those caveats in mind.
Indeed, so the only good option would be to only search public records.

Everything else should not be searchable.

Is there a law for "when a thing becomes easier and/or cheaper to do, more of that thing is created, and the mean quality of that thing goes down"? Of course, there are positive effects as well — desktop publishing was responsible for countless design crimes, but it also unlocked some real innovation during print's last stand.
This is actually a lot more sophisticated than the comments here are making it out to be. With something like this you can basically get software defined cooking. If you combine it with computer vision and a bit of chemistry, you would get a perfect medium rare steak every time. (You don't need the computer vision part if you can get the RF feedback from the sensors directly) To be fair, there is nothing stopping you from doing this with a traditional magnetron microwave, just that you will need a lot of space for hardware and waveguides to have the same precision and control.
You also forget that the government of Canada invoked an act intended to be used in the most extreme circumstances when normal political, democratic processes were obviously impossible to follow. In addition they have induced GoFundMe and the banks to interfere with the privately held accounts of individuals and publically raised funds.

All this after weeks of doing little to nothing and apparently not negotiating with the protestors.

This would all be understandable, but questionable, in a war situation. It is very disturbing, to say the least, to see the sledgehammer of this act being used to crack the relatively small nut of a noisy, inconvenient petition for redress of wrongs by people who seem to still accept that they are citizens of a democratic state.

(Also, this is all the fault of the USA. Or the Russians. )
I find pretty cool there is a company who is trying to improve a technology that haven't advanced in decades, but a whole simple microwave oven is probably a lot cheaper than the transistors driving those RF signals inside this "cooker".

I don't know how much people would buy this, but I'm pretty sure a lot of restaurants would have one of this if they deliver what they promise.

Why would Ukraine want to align with NATO instead of the country that just invaded it?

Why?

Sounds like appeasement to me

They already frequently ask for your social media handles and sometimes for your passwords.
This childish response reminds me of Piratebay mocking legal notices and posting them on their website in the early days. Regardless of the legitimacy of the government's demand, such a response makes me feel it's being run by amateurs who don't realize the seriousness, power and reach of a sovereign government.
Bonus is the XCover is semi-rugged. I went for the slightly smaller Xcover 4s (146.2 x 73.3 x 9.7 mm³ / 5" screen) even though it was older (think trailing edge bargain!). Partner has the 5 (higher capacity battery, but no hard buttons).

I tend to keep my phone until it gets full and "becomes" obsolete, rather than breaks. Size, gorilla glass, followed by storage are my main criteria. Previous phone was a Moto E2 (lasted 5y before software updates made it untenable). Each upgrade gains about 10-15mm in height, sadly.

Still miss my Moto Defy (107x 59 x 13 mm / 3.7" ), sizewise anyway. One-handed I only comfortably have about 2/3rds screen coverage on the Xcover.
Writing GUI apps for Apple products.

Too many variables to mention, but I wrote my first Apple application in 1986. It took several weeks, and wasn't much to look at.

They might not. Commercial zoning around me involves a storefront or front desk. I run a startup out of my house legally because of that (which is really just my office).
> if their protest escalates into significant economic damage or other types of harm. That's when it graduates from protest to terrorism.

First of all, look up the definition of terrorism. It’s not “thing you think is bad”. Pretty integral to terrorism is violence. No violence or threat of violence, no terrorism.

Second, all protest causes economic harm - successful protest causes significant economic harm. Your line of thinking would have you condemn friggin’ Gandhi, a globally renowned and much celebrated peaceful revolutionary. His entire non-violent protest movement relied heavily on inflicting economic damage.

E.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_March
At the same time, I'd much rather have electric transportation devices strewn across the street, than cars (especially the smoking kind) on the street rushing by all day long as they currently are. The number of accidents with these 1000kg blocks of aluminium (more if it's electric) or their energy needs for individual whims... we're going to be 8 billion people soon, smaller individual transport is not a bad thing. If something needs to be done about the placement, well, we have plenty of space over if we could convert even just 50% of the roads to something other than broad slabs of obstruction-free flat space.

(Edit: I'm not the downvoter. I don't agree but that doesn't make it a nonuseful perspective.)

Edit#2: Observing the votes on this comment, presumably from car lovers/haters, is quite interesting. Not sure it's a good sign if I wrote engaging but not generally agreeable content.

>It might be 100 years away, but that feels like the future to me.

I think if it works it's probably quite close now, with how much funding the mRNA scene got through covid. Plagues, wars and famines can often lead to leaps in technology that would have otherwise not worked.
> Also note than on unixy systems, the command line is only "serialized as an array" when you run a command from the shell. (And then the shell does the serialisation, not the OS).

> If a program is launched by another process, the command line is always an array, never a string.

Maybe an example illustrates what I meant by serializing the command-line expression. Many programs take key-value arguments in the form `--key value`, so conceptually that is not an array but a serialization of key-value mapping into an array. You could imagine that an higher level wrapper to call that program could be represented as `exec_foo({"key": "value"})`, and that argument map is then serialized into the string array `--key value`.

Of course that sort of serialization of higher-level concepts (like key-value mappings or subcommands or whatev) is very much target program specific. Which leads to the main argument that in any non-trivial cases you need to serialize the higher-level "api" (which might be key-value mapping, or something more complex) to the "wire format" which can be either array of strings or single string; conceptually that is fairly minor difference.

You can agree to make it whatever balance you want. 70/30 is a solid recommendation to start with though.

I’ve found that in many cases, because the developers understand what needs to be done so clearly in that backlog that even big items go quickly.

The biggest thing is just to make sure that you’re not in a situation of 100% features where everything else is being ignored until it all catches up to you. 70/30 at least forces the issue.
