Can confirm.

However, their quality control is kind of terrible (2/2 had defects in the porcelain causing them to run indefinitely out of the box). I patched both up, and now they're OK.

In fairness, Niagara offered to ship replacements for both free of charge.

Also, they cost a tiny fraction of the other (worse specced) water conserving options, and, thanks to covid we bought them from sketchyplumbingoutlet.com or some such site (they could have been returns for all I know).

Anyway, they flush better than any other residential toilet I've encountered (including high flow and low flow ones), and use 0.8 gallons per flush.
It’s not that easy to move to the West when the only preoccupation of our governments has been reducing immigration.
Most people I've talked to who watched Starship Troopers didn't think it was satire. To be fair, the enemy is literally not human which does make it harder to pick up on.
I think we should find a balance between on using frameworks. Here's my experience with mobile, but the same idea applies:

In my early years (circa 2015) I didn't know much about patterns and wrote this "super smart" code where I called all the API calls yet never used the results directly, passes all the responses through a pipeline, wrote them into a flat normalized state, then fired change events, and my views actually listened to change events and reacted to them to update the UI with a single-source-of-truth local store in both Objective-C and Java for our iOS and Android apps. (There were other "weird" things that "I invented" but this was the relevant part)

Sounds familiar? Then, years later, I learned about React Native and redux, and saga, which (albeit with a completely different language and syntax) roughly worked the same way I envisioned and wrote my app (which worked flawless and bug-free by the way, a validation of the pattern works).

Now, I use React Native (which also came as a bonus because when I learned it I also have automatically learned its web-counterpart React.js as well) which has the same "vision" in terms of store and observing/reactiveness.

Now I use React [Native] because it gets my work easier, faster, and is super popular. I know it will probably not be super popular in, say, 15 years, but the ideas and patterns (reactive programming, state/reducers etc) will be here, and I can adapt to $(popular-reactive-framework-with-nice-syntax-of-year-2035) because that will be making my job easier. (Assuming that I'll still be doing mobile/web development)

I think as long as we want to get the general philosophy of these frameworks and know how to implement the parts needed from scratch if we ever need to, they do more good than harm.

> but russians protecting their interests against american advances is a problem? cool

If protecting your interests needs a war, creating millions of refugees, untold destruction and who knows how many thousands of dead, you are a piece of shit that doesn't deserve to have interests, and everyone who parrots your bullshit excuses is also a piece of shit ( yes, you). Countries like Ukraine and the Baltics run towards NATO out of fear of Russian aggression ( entirely founded, as we can clearly see).

Two wrongs ( Afghanistan, Iraq whatever you want to whatabout about) don't make a right.

Although this is not a definite answer I think it makes sense, that the inconvenient hole actually provide a convenient storage solution, historically at least.
If you felt compelled to acknowledge the exceedingly small influence you have on NATO, why not acknowledge the exceedingly small chance you would cause a Russian revolution by leaving a five star review on the website of an eatery in Moscow?
Which is fine and dandy if calculation is your goal.

If "understanding the nature of reality" is your goal then engaging with various interpretations of QM is unavoidable.

(which is not to say it will be fruitful. This stuff might be genuinely beyond the reach of science. We might be hitting the brick wall of the unknowable. But that's not an excuse to stop trying. Some current formulations of the question are probably meaningless or based on false premises but philosophy, theoretical physics and experimental physics creep forward hand in hand)
We the ordinary people, we don't care about nukes and geopolitical issues so much, why we are in this now? I will not lay my life for geopolitical issues nor Ukrainian people should be forced now to lay theirs. Lets invest hugely in fusion and move away from damn oil so all of this goes away...
> Putin put a red line on Ukraine joining NATO

Ukraine never joined NATO. Ukraine was never even given a membership action plan.

> and the west didn't care about his line drawing.

Neither did Putin; the moving red lines were about pretext, not reasoning.
Viewing a company as only having purely financial interests is very limited, IMO. Hey, let's sell hypermodern weaponry to the Russians and the Chinese. It'll make us a quick buck!

But you may well be right that that's all Spotify has, given their predatory business model. What's wrong pointing that out? Why would you even criticize that, given that it's that site's financial incentive?

Putin has to be seen to threaten and others have to be seen to threaten to meet him. Otherwise why stop at Ukraine when he can keep threatening?

You [and the vast majority of other people] could start by at least seeking out the other side of the story and not unquestioningly swallowing this ridiculous American over-simplification of every global crisis into "We're the good guys and they're the bad guys."

The Russians have legitimate fears about the encroachment of NATO and American weaponry right onto their doorstep. You might want to look up a historical event called 'The Cuban Missile Crisis' to see how the US has acted in the past, in a similar situation [see also Nicaragua, Venezuela, etc]

The Russians believe that a democratically elected and pro-Russian government in Ukraine was over-thrown by a US engineered coup [Euro Maidan] and replaced by a fiercely right-wing anti-Russian regime, which is hell-bent on joining NATO and thus having American missiles stationed there [and Ukraine is a lot closer to Russia than Cuba is to America]

The Russians also say their citizens in the two breakaway regions are being genocided. Although that is, at best, an exaggeration used to justify the invasion.

Now, before you accuse me of being a Russian supporter or apologist, I'm not. I'm as outraged by this invasion as anyone else. But to simply pretend that it's all happened because evil mad dictator Putin has suddenly turned into Adolf Hitler reincarnated, while Uncle Sam has been innocently sitting on the sidelines, polishing his halo, is to bring a play school level of critical thought process to bear on the situation.
> what ends up happening with the "voting with your feet" strategy is that the country ends up with a "brain drain". This worsens the situation because the only people remaining are the ones who either had no means of escaping or have been indoctrinated by the government; thus making the change from "within" even more difficult.

But at least you prevent said country from becoming a global threat. Russia minus its professional class would spiral into total irrelevance in a matter of weeks.
My worst kitchen accident happened cutting bread too. I was trying to cut through a stale loaf using a (brand new!) serrated knife, got lost in thought for one second, and the knife slipped of the bread and into the tip of my finger. Seriously debated going to the urgent care, and took months for feeling to return in the tip.

My takeaway was to be vigilant at being 100% focused whenever using knives.
Geopolitical issues can have a huge effect on the daily lives of citizens, as we’ve seen from the sanctions so far. All citizens should have the power of collective self-determination, and this includes the foreign policy of their nation.

In a democracy, governments are accountable to their citizens. So if the war against Ukraine bothers you, you should contact your representatives within your government to do something about it.
I find that also an appealing scenario. But Putin does not, hence the propaganda and the censoring. So it may for that reason alone be a complete pipe dream of the West.
Sadly it's very bad still. Judges admitting blood splatter "study" as hard evidence, bite marks regarded as science and also employing people who have zero actual expertise or scientific background required, as domain experts.

Dude, I don't live in the US and I know little about american problems with guns, so no, your guess is a big miss. I'm not trying to rationalize anything, apparently you're the one being heavily biased here, to rush into such conclusions.
That'd be one out of twenty? Doesn't sound plausible to me. Do you have any source?
Okay, I'm happy that you admit inspiration in this comment (in opposition to the previously deleted one).

Also, I think it's more than just following up re_data in a couple of places. Elementary's whole data monitoring part started much later than your Lineage part, and it seems to try to follow what re_data did there on the idea & implementation level. I'm sure the other 59 projects you mention were not dbt packages for data reliability (there were no other one in the dbt hub) which is what re_data is and now elementary also tries to copy this. (seeing our traction)

The door refused to open. It said, "Five cents, please."

He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. "I'll pay you tomorrow," he told the door. Again it remained locked tight. "What I pay you," he informed it, "is in the nature of a gratuity; I don't have to pay you."

"I think otherwise," the door said. "Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt."

...he found the contract. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.

"You discover I'm right," the door said. It sounded smug.

There is an intuitive way to picture what particles are and what their measurements is. So simple even a 5-year could play with it.

You take a shoe lace. You tie a loose knot in it. Prevent the extremities of the lace to move, by placing your feet on them (or rocks, or whatever). Put your finger inside the knot and slide the knot along the rope.

You have just played with a "particle". The knot is the particle.

Pinch the rope with your left hand somewhere along the rope. Pinch the rope with your right hand somewhere along the rope. Slide your fingers along the rope to bring them together. This will progressively tighten the rope between the fingers. Alternatively you can just tighten the rope by pulling on it.

If there is knot in the region you just tighten, congratulation you have just measured your first particle. If not, try again by placing your finger at different spot, and try again you may get lucky. Quantum physics is a matter of probabilities.

Now that you have caught your particle, you have to loosen the knot, so you can explain the uncertainty principle.

Once you have played with one knot. Try adding a second knot, move them. Can you get one to go through the other ? Is the number of knots on the rope always conserved ?

Now that you have played with knots, here is a fun twist. You need to have a flat lace or a belt though. Lay the flat lace flat. Do a half twist on an extremity of the lace. And like you did with the knot before, slide the half twist along the lace between your fingers, tightening and loosening it as you like. Congratulation you have discovered another type of particle. Try adding another half-twist. How do the twist interact along the rope ? Did you succeed in making them disappear. And can you create a pair of particle out of nothing by twisting the lace in the middle ?

If it feels too easy for your 5-year old, you can now show him the belt trick to continuously rotate a cube attached by its faces https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Belt_Trick.ogv and he will have a better grasp on what an electron is than 99% of high-school students.

This analogy can be extended for more complicated kind of knots, twists, elements of lie algebras... And you can also extend it from the 1d case of the rope to 2d case of a fabric (twist along one dimension, twist along the other dimension...), 3d case.

If you want to learn more about physics, don't throw the lace away, you can play with it in a ton of different ways (vibrating modes of energy...), even before needing to introduce springs; but that's a story for another day.
> This is a desperate attempt by some Ukrainians to paint a picture of Russia as being equivalent to Nazi Germany, playing the same Hitler card that Putin did to start the war.

You can't deny there's similarity in how they operate, the excuses they used for "reasons" ( that's not a country, people there are Russian) and the even flimsier excuses they used for the "provocation" (false flag operations) they're "responding" to. There's even the "foreign element we just want to get rid of"(Nazis vs Judeo-Bolsheviks).

Heck, even their strategy is similar, and they even get slowed down by the same mud.

The comparisons are very apt.

Yes, it is a genocide to try to clean out the local population of a city through destruction to settle it with your own (Mariupol).
It's not hard to work remotely at €250k a year. I live in Amsterdam and did it last year via https://a.team for a Canadian company. It only took a few weeks to find a gig and I probably could have asked for me.

If you look at the last "Who's hiring" thread, there was even a company in Amsterdam offering €200k salaries. I know Uber offers more than that too.

And a friend of a friend just got an offer from Facebook in Germany for €400k.
I heard an opinion that identification of oneself with a group based on some principle (ethnicity / religion / class, etc) is a mechanism produced by evolution, allowing humans to form lager groups than the number of individuals one can personally know.

In contrast, for example, to apes. Chimpanzees can only form group up to 150 members.

After a year of having to continuously adjust my oven's block because it would drift 10 minutes faster over the course of a month, I finally decided to connect it to the wifi with the remote hope that it would connect to an NTP server. Looks like I got lucky, and it's finally keeping proper time. I _did_ go the extra step of completely blocking all other network connectivity to and from that thing.
Thank you so much for this!

> The threat of nuclear war was not made in the context of NATO expansion, the deployment of nuclear arms next to Russia’s borders, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolon - they're pretty common, but yes potatoes are somewhat rarer in growing underground.

Yes true! I once had the honour to work with a 'tech-lead' dev that rewrote a whole map application to AngularJS, which was the hype back then.
I remember him not being able to get a just slightly complicated chain of asynchronous stuff working in vanillaJS.
No problem, because he had AngularJS double binding now. No need to learn vanillaJS. Wicked stuff.
What you're talking about is one part of the military that largely deny the nazism connection. They are also still fighting for their country even though their president is Jewish. Can't be that nazi if they do that can they?

In Palestine it's the government itself, not one regiment of the army. In Palestine they don't deny their hatred, they shout it from the roof tops. Palestine also doesn't have a Jewish president.

There's an enormous difference.
Honest question: what makes you think Ukraine can win this war "quickly"?

I believe the fastest way out for Ukraine is to give Russia a guarantee that it will not pursue NATO membership (I understand this is all that Russia wants and has been asking since the 2014 coup that removed the Pro-Russia government), ensure Russian-speaking citizens in Eastern Ukraine will not be prosecuted, and acknowledge Russian rule over Krimea.

This should absolutely be acceptable to Russia, and while not being great for Ukraine, it's still better than a prolongued war with Russia and the chaos that will follow even after the war finally ends (with Ukraine's infrastructure most likely almost entirely destroyed)...

Why I think this should be acceptable to Ukraine? Because Ukraine has always had a "blurry" border (this is the same all over Europe, by the way! The very notion of statehood is a 19th century concept in most of Europe) with Russia. Losing a small part of its territory shouldn't be such a huge deal - it's less of a deal than having its cities bombed to the ground and its population fleeing for their lives for years to come, at least.

Accepting to not join NATO is a greater problem as that practically means the threat of aggresion by Russia will continue. But the alternative, Russia NOT having a say and "allowing" Ukraine to join NATO has already proven to be unacceptable to Russia to the extent it's willing to destroy its own economy to prevent that from happening (it might even use nukes, as Putin made clear already). However, this is something that with a few decades of careful negotiations with both sides can actually end up benefiting Ukraine! How? Ukraine will have leverage on both sides: the West does not want to let Moscow have a say in Ukrainian affairs, specially after this aggressive war, while Russia will have no choice but thread carefully with its businesses in Ukraine, trying to keep Ukrainians happy enough to not want to overwhelmingly join NATO and "fight" with Russia. It's unfortunate that the governments in Kyiv since 2014 have not been able to play exactly this game and have instead let the situation deteriorate into a war.

I have. Nobody is saying that YouTube should post negative reviews of itself. We're saying that a website which pretty much has a monopoly on hosting videos shouldn't abuse its position by trying to be the “ministry of truth”, and it's fair to criticize it even though it's legally allowed to do that.
I disagree about never. There are many challenges associated with it, and the relationship has to be very strong, but lots of world beating companies have been built by family members. Two that come to mind are Stripe with the Collison brothers, and Walmart was founded by two brothers as well.
