> Well the headline is about people's claims that they don't eat meat, not about whether that claim matches your definition of what a vegetarian is.

I simply used my personal experience to highlight that people can’t be trusted to give accurate information around how they consume animal products. I used veganism (not vegetarianism) because it has a rather well-defined criteria, and is what I have the most experience with.

> If someone asks me I will tell them I don't smoke because my identity is as a nonsmoker, even though I had a cigarette a few months ago.

Certainly, this depends on the question, but a good survey question won’t leave ambiguity.

It will likely specify a time frame and give you choices on how many cigarettes you’ve used, as well as asking if you identify as a smoker.

If I asked you “are you a smoker?”, your answer would rightfully be “no” since the definition of “smoker” requires regular use. If I asked “have you smoked tobacco products anytime in the last six months?”, I’d expect your answer to be “yes”.

With veganism, you can be directly told “I’m a vegan too” when someone hears you’re vegan. If they also choose to consume animals products during a casual meal with many vegan options, there’s no definition of the word “vegan” that they’d fit.
Is this substantially different from e.g. Dolphin downloading Virtual Console and WiiWare games? (In Dolphin's case, this works because Dolphin can emulate the Wii Shop channel. You used to be able to make purchases directly in Dolphin, and you can still redownload previously-purchased software.)

> From the perspective of your immune system's cells, what exactly does the vitamin D molecule do?

Probably nothing. High vitamin D levels are a side effect of being outdoors a lot and therefore getting more exercise than the deskbound population. I recall during lockdown listening to a Slate Star Codex article (on the Astral Codex Ten podcast) which went through a stack of papers and concluded that there was nothing to see here.

The article should be retitled "Pre-Infection exercise levels associated with severity of Covid-19 illness".

The problem is the group of users who have a problem with Electron also tend to have a problem with a billion other things (the size of the chat bubbles as another user commented here) so they end up never being satisfied with any client and any developer who tries to cater to them will be flooded with a wave of complaints about how the animation speed should be configurable.
Does that mean every person has a right to be in the US, Canada, Western Europe, South Korea or Japan (and maybe a few other countries)?
Profit isn’t the only measure - ROC is also highly relevant for companies with billions in CapEx. You can make a ton of profit with a low ROC and you will deservedly get a low valuation.

In any event no one is saying anything is assured only that some things are more likely or risky than others. Intel has a lot to do and recent execution has been weak. You may think that will change but the market will need evidence. AMD on the other hand is in the opposite position and gets credit for that.

Also you may think it’s laughable but there is no should about it - it’s a statement of fact that AMD’s market cap is more than Intel’s and that fact also plays to AMD’s advantage in some ways (acquisitions for example).
The problem with this trend is what happens in 2-3 years when the manufacturer decides they don’t want to update the app anymore? I have ovens that are twenty years old, my washing machine was made in the 1950s (and has so much steel I think it can be used as a tank in times of war). I’m pretty sure appliances today aren’t built to the same standard but seems foolish to have to throw everything away every few years because the app isn’t being updated for the latest iOS or it’s not compatible with wifi7 or similar. At least with my AC I can fall back to the remote or front panel. In this case you don’t even get that option.
The US stationed missiles in Turkey and as a response the USSR stationed missiles in Cuba. The crisis ended when the USSR publicly deconstructed their sites and the US agreed to do the same to theirs privately. This all because Kennedy needed to save face and have the USSR be the agressor.

So if NATO would decide to invade Belarus right now, then it might be similar to the Cuban missile crisis. Until then, it is just a gross oversimplification of a conflict that is the result of complex relations between countries.
You should not turn your furnace off in a cold climate, especially if the home is unoccupied. If the temperature drops below too low, the water in your pipes may freeze and expand, breaking the pipes and causing flooding. Without anyone home to notice the problem, the flooding can easily cause tens of thousands of dollars of damage.

I'm using mine for video, and it has been running for many 1000's of hours already without a glitch.
Because it is internet connected, and possibly only works when internet connected, you are dependent on the manufacturer after purchase. Does it have a built in web-server that can device-independent access all functions through a local net. If not then it sounds to me like after-sales.

What are the after-sales terms? Is there a contract? Are you going to pay for an after-sales subscription? If not, how is their business model to finance it? How is your privacy or personal identification involved? How long will the product be supported (Planned obsolescence)? Can you block automatic-updates? Can you downgrade the firmware? What are your legal options if they close down the service before product end-of-lifetime? Or liability if the product gets hacked and destroys/damages property? Will refusing after-sales influence warranty? What are their terms & conditions to ban your access to the device? What are the non-automated options in case of disputes? What are the options/rights when escalating complaints?

Sounds like these questions should be answered on the box before you (or the person installing it) should open it. Or in the first section of EULA in layman's terms.

I live in drizzly Seattle. It takes about 24 hrs for the clothes to dry, but there's no mildew problem if your house is dry.

In the summer I sometimes put the rack out on the deck. The fresh smell of sun-dried clothes can't be beat.

I grew up in Phoenix. Drying the clothes consisted of:

1. taking them out of the washer

2. putting them on the line

3. going back to to the beginning of the line, and taking them off, as they are now dry

I'm not joking.

I agree with Peter Greene, in the context of Denver Public Schools, where my kids attend school, big, standardized testing doesn't work.

But the problem with US schools is that there's no uniformity. There's this thing called "home rule", where every state sets its own standards, but every school district, and there's a lot per state, sets the actual curriculum and testing standards. There's absolutely zero uniformity. Curriculum and standards vary so much as to be incomparable.

If the USA had a national school system, with national standards and curriculum, this article would be relevant. In context, this article makes no sense. It's just pandering to more panics about student achievement etc etc etc.
In some locations, it’s illegal to dry your clothes on an outside line.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Access... specifically allows the use of sources that are hard to access. The rule here wasn't that it couldn't be used because it was hard to access, but that it couldn't be used because it wasn't published at all.

Furthermore, any sane editor would allow use of this information under Ignore All Rules (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ignore_all_rules ), which is specifically there because sometimes the rules don't produce good results.
They partook in an invasion with it maybe? Do you think Ukrainians scuttled their own ships for fun or because they wanted to slow down whatever role Russia's navy can have with access to ports?

"You couldn't hide all the ships" implies that would stop or deter them from moving in if they wanted to. Russia's navy getting to the Black Sea no questions asked has shown you can make obviously aggressive military repositioning without repercussion (unless the West gets more proactive with sanctions after this).

Pages with culture war elements will inevitably be impacted by the culture war positions of the active editors in the area in question affecting how strictly a given source is judged for quality.

I'm deliberately avoiding giving examples because it seems logical to assume that I'd merely reflect my own culture war positions with respect to any such example and thereby generate more heat than light.

Overall though I still think wikipedia turns out pretty reasonably as a whole even given having seen a number of situations where I disagreed with the outcome.
If IRC had some better tools then the push for XMPP would be unnecessary. In fact, why didn't we just build IM on top of email?

"The market" has decided that Matrix works well and XMPP doesn't. If it made sense to fix XMPP then someone would have done it and we would all be using that.

Yup. And by all reports Ben Graham was a brilliant dude. If he were in the game today, I doubt he'd be playing the way he played back in the day. He'd get in there and figure it out.
No absolutely not. But the Swiss neutrality is a broad concept/principle not a strictly defined set of actions that the gov can or can not do.

The sanction against Russia for example are not in conflict with the neutrality principle despite the media reporting pretending that this is somehow "unexpected" or "a first" or "clearly picking a side" or even "ditching neutrality because Russia so bad". This is either the media sacrificing truth for click bait headlines or straight out propaganda but its in "Wikipedia trusted" media so Wikipedia picks that up because that what it should do.

So now you have people thinking Switzerland somehow after 200 year of being neutral sides with EU/NATO whatever against Russia. And if people point out that this is not true, people point to Wikipedia. That is the dilemma. Wikipedia doesn't say its a source for truth but people use it as such anyway.

My S21 with "scumbag zoom" or creeper zoom. The amount of zoom, in something as thin as it is, is mind blowing. To zoom 10x, and be able to take great pictures, hand held with almost no shake. Then you have the top GoPros shooting 5k with gimbal like stabilization. Cameras are getting crazy.
I disagree with that conclusion.

I think the problem is most people agree with those government restrictions, or at least did in the recent past. Laws and traditions have sticking power.
It's funny to me that there's no acknowledgment that high fidelity web apps and electron apps are taking the wind out of the sails of platform specific desktop app development.
There are no other options I can think of.

Sensors on full-frame DSLR/Mirrorless systems are large so you're going to have to keep a significantly sized rectangle clear.

Assuming right-handed use, you're going to extend that rectangle to the right for a grip, that also need to have depth. Not optional as any of these cameras might see some very heavy lenses attached to them.

You need a viewfinder, where the only logical option is on top. Same for flash connections. The only alternative is no viewfinder at all, just the back screen, but this can't be done because sports and wildlife photographers will always require an eye piece.

All connections (video, mic, data, remote flash) have to be on the left as the right side is taken for the grip which typically features the memory card slots.

The bottom of the camera has to be flat, it needs to support tripod use, video brackets and battery grips. Realistically, the battery chamber can only be at the bottom, given that all other space is already used.

Concluding, the layout makes sense. You could move around connections but it doesn't change the shape of the camera, nor does it improve anything. So it's a logical timeless design, not really a prestige thing.

As somebody else already said: the old design was not specifically analog, only the internals were.
Interesting that the title says all operations are suspended, but description basically says that foreign cards won't work in Russia and Russian cards work abroad, but does it mean local Russian cards will still work in Russia? That's probably majority of transactions anyway. A bit confused here.
Free market principles are "working" here!

The free market has correctly found that there's a large supply of people who can work as a trucker, but not a huge demand. The market has "correctly" set wages at a subsistence level for these workers.

The slow shipping times are fine too! The market has correctly determined that waiting for goods is preferable to spending more money to guarantee meeting delivery timelines. Great going market!

In seriousness, when you cut compensation to the bone you get impoverished workers and a brittle logistics system. Capitalism pushes companies too far into cost-cutting, and the regulations and unions that used to counter problematic cost-cutting were stripped of power in the 80s.

Mirror: https://archive.ph/d5RmA (was down)

Key passage:

“ With this action, cards issued by Russian banks will no longer be supported by the Mastercard network. And, any Mastercard issued outside of the country will not work at Russian merchants or ATMs.”

I don’t believe it’s clear that cards issued in Russia are not still being accepted within Russia. Which is what I believe Visa is still doing:

“ all transactions initiated with Visa cards issued in Russia will no longer work outside the country and any Visa cards issued by financial institutions outside of Russia will no longer work within the Russian Federation.”

https://usa.visa.com/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.rele...

If MasterCard is matching Visa it’s effectively cross border transactions that have stopped - not withdraw access to Russian issued cards within Russia.

If they have withdrawn access to Russian cards within Russia it’s going to put enormous pressure on Russian citizens. Visa and Mastercard apparently have 73% of the credit card market in Russia. This could be the type of pressure need for citizens to push back at the Russian administration (not that they aren’t already).

Your original point that the West's influence, through geopolitics, mattered very little, and internal party power struggles determined Taiwan's fate is inaccurate. It doesn't matter if Xi is directly aware of geopolitics or if its impact, through proxies, shape his decision, it's still geopolitical consequences that largely protects Taiwan.

Rivals are partially against an invasion because it harms them financially, or harms their family's interests. This is amplified by their desire to not give Xi a victory, but if the deterrent didn't exist, surely there could be no plausible push back.
They’re taking the wind out of the entire hardware alright.

They froze the accounts of people at the protests without due process, and passed legislation to let them to it to anyone who supported them "directly or indirectly". i.e. carte blanche to send anyone into digital/financial exile with no recourse.

they repealed it soon after (I think), but the door is open for them or any other government to do it again.

Ha! I have a fun one.

We recently had our first child. I finally opened a thermometer we were gifted from a shower and low and behold, the thing can not take a temperature without downloading an app. It has a digital screen and everything, but you when you first power it on you are greeted with it displaying "APP" and you HAVE to download the app & set it up before it will work.

When we finally took the temperature, the damn thing still didn't even display it on the screen, it sent the reading to the app. I don't even know what the point of the screen is.

This thing also wants to "anonymously" share your temp readings and location with the community stating it will help and let you know if there are diseases spreading locally.

It went against my dignity to download it and use the thing, but it was 10:00PM and checking our baby's temp at the time was more important.

Still it was the most asinine smart-device experience I have had to date.
Today, Ukraine MoD announced they will take anyone, except Russian citizens - no military experience required. 16000 Ukraine foreign legion sign-ups last I heard.
Except that such all-or-nothing logic is completely appropriate when talking about security of computational domains. Taking a device that is supposedly mine and configuring it to work against my interests repudiates the idea that I am the owner of it. Rather than representing my interests, it is now an agent of someone else's top-down policy. And if enough people modify "their" devices to remove such restrictions, then there's a good chance that even more systems of control get deployed to prevent them from doing so.

Modern companies should also learn to suck it up and do business with countries they don't like. Too many companies put activism and emotions before profits. I'm 100% serious. To give a specific example, I wish Google never pulled out of China.
The mathematics of investing haven't changed, but if you have some literature to suggest otherwise, I'd be very interested in reading it.

You seem to think that I use these mechanical estimates as the primary method for purchase, but they are not.

I'm not sure what your point is about IPOs: they're historically a terrible time to invest, which is common knowledge.

And actually all of the companies you have mentioned have easily passed such litmus tests over their life time at different times. Sometimes they're overbought, some times they're oversold. If you buy when they're overbought, you'll end up with a lower IRR than if you hadn't.
