No, EVs are not just Teslas. As far as I can see in The Netherlands, EVs are penetrating the market very fast. Sure, it will begin with people who can afford the upfront costs with an eye on operational cost savings. But, it will only be a matter of time before the economies of scale applies and the value of an electric car with substantially lower operational costs become the better choice for those with current gas guzzlers(including me).
I am not running out to buy an EV now because I have a car which is a tool that works fine, and the alternative is more expensive. However, in a few years when I am in the market to replace my car, the EVs will be much more attractive when I calculate the total cost of ownership.
As opposed to the greed of the banks and the ratings agencies being catatonic?
Taking a car that does 25mpg, at $2/gal gas you can do a 100 mile round trip commute each workday for $160/month in gas. At $4/gal it goes up to $320, etc. That doesn't seem like a big enough jump to me to cause people to default en masse on their mortgages and trigger the crisis - compared to the teaser rates which probably made mortage payments jump by $500-1000+ when expired?

Well, house prices have gone up far faster than incomes, for years now, in the US and also several other countries around the world. One driver is the purchase of real estate as an inflation hedge.

This doesn't prove it's a bubble, but it sure does suggest strongly.
I get where you are coming from, but falsifying election results and population polling are a bit different. putin himself is polling very frequently to get feedback (or validation) and until a few weeks ago there were even somewhat credible polling agencies that showed lower numbers but still majority.

Also, it was shockingly hard to find [for me], but the "light emitting ereader" referred to in the title was an Apple iPad. It's not specified what kind of iPad they used, and the study focussed solely on reading from the iPad vs reading from a printed book.

The authors do note (in Table S1, in the Supporting Information) that they don't consider a Kindle e-reader to be light-emitting.

(I'm not throwing shade (heh) at the study, just adding some pertinent information that I thought would be useful to know.)
I knew that it used to stand for that (and as an acronym should be upper-case), but I thought they maybe dropped that somewhere along the way.

Fortran and Cobol used to be "FORTRAN" and "COBOL", too, but once systems with support for upper- and lowercase-letters became widespread, they went mixed-case.

I recall there was some debate if the name BASIC had been intended as an acronym initially, but in time, evidence (AFAIR, anyway) tended to support the claim is was an acronym from the very beginning. (-:
I understand how it works; I'm trying to find a "vote with your feet" solution as an alternative to screwing over poorly paid employees by not tipping. The most obvious way to do that is to favour restaurants where tipping is discouraged.
As an aside, if you're at all interested in this period of history, I highly recommend Hilary Mantel's "Wolf Hall" trilogy about Thomas Cromwell and his time spent administrating for Wolsey and Henry VIII.

Cromwell must surely be one of history's greatest "fixers". His legacy is immense, despite not being the top dog. What is it they say about the most important jobs in the world have "Secretary" in the title?
Ah, there was a misunderstanding. I am talking about the 2003-2011 Iraq war. The ISIS thing is a direct result of the destabilization caused by the invasion. The 13k figure was for that invasion, I do not know how many civilians died by the hands of the US in the ISIS war, although the independent sources cited in wikipedia claim the deaths to be "8,317–13,190".

"Second, this was over 5 years, half a decade!"

And? The US has not really changed. Look at Yemen, Libya, etc.

"Third, great care was taken to not harm civilians."

You certainly can't see that great care in the "collateral murder" video. I am sure Russia will also talk about the great care that it took to not hurt civilians.

"Fourth, this was the US and her allies, not the US alone. Some of her allies are locals."

I don't think that this really changes anything. In addition Russia could claim the same about solders from Chechnya, Belarus, Crimea, etc.

"You are working so hard, and diligently, to present the US in the worst light possible"

You are working so hard, and diligently, to justify the atrocities that the US committed.
In some jurisdictions there is a statutory value of a road sign higher than the actual cost to replace it. It's usually enough to make stealing the sign a serious misdemeanor or minor felony.
Mined by whom? For once it makes sense that Ukraine is doing that, they mined beaches at Odessa, while an invasion force mining their area would be stupid.

In France, bills usually say "service compris" which means "service included".

In Britain, bills usually say "Service charge" or "Service is included" [1]

But I think these are exceptions, and I wouldn't expect it in general -- just like it doesn't say "Service included" when I buy a buy shoes in France or Britain, even though the staff usually have to fetch them from the stock room.

Inflation helps borrowers. They get to pay back their loans with cheaper dollars.
Al Jazeera is probably the closest to that. They actually interviewed some DPR/LPR rebels, for instance. You wouldnt catch CNN doing that.

They also seem to put the greatest emphasis on human suffering, which is a bias im in favor of.

There is value to reading propaganda to have wider visibility though, especially since most propaganda selectively presents the truth rather than outright lying and both sides will often simply choose to present similar events in a different context.

(Never worked for intelligence agencies)

I think working for intelligence agencies, especially taking technical work (think sigint, encryption/descryption, malware/malware defense, etc.) is very, very interesting, but improving humanity is a huge burden that no agency can shoulder.

On the other side, I think someone mentioned that the work of the intelligence agencies is not to prevent wars, but to prevent world wars (not exactly what he said but I believe it is what he meant). From that perspective, they are "helping" humanity.

Apparently Russians also "opened" routes leading to Russia and Belarus. I mean, what kind of retarded bullshit is that? It would be literally Ukraine willingly sending hostages to the enemy.

Are you for real comparing integrity of CNN and RT?

Show me a single outright lie CNN published, comparable to RT publishing a story that ukrainian army crucified a child on a main square in 2014 which caused some people in russia to volunteer as fighters and cross the border with intention of killing ukrainians.

It was probably due to just taking in less calories than he was consuming.

Now that sounds like a gross simplification, and it is, but it's missing a key insight: sugars don't really keep you full for long, and limiting calorie intake with such a diet requires a lot more willpower than eating fats and proteins that actually curb your feeling of hunger for a long period of time.

I'm not an expert on the topic, but that's how it works in my limited experience.

The cost of living increases are heavily driven by housing prices, which they’ve already locked in for themselves.

Good point.

That doesn't force covering "both sides" of every issue though, in the way people often mean by "fair and balanced" in these discussions, where every issue needs to have a counterpoint aired.

The UK election rules are more about ensuring all the candidates for election get some representative airtime, and that overtly political advertisements are labelled as such during the election period, so a channel is not allowed to promote one party and completely block out another, or be monopolised by advertising funds. (There's also a very short quiet period just before the voting takes place.)

If all parties generally agree on something, the opposing view to that is unlikely to get much airtime, even if someone not running for office would really like to talk about it.
Normally I'd agree but knowing the damage that propaganda does - RT and any other Russian-government owned channels should be shutdown/"canceled".

For the last eight years, they've been riling up the Russian population with portraying Ukrainians as Nazis, barbarians, etc. It's gotten to the point now where they would make up fake stories (e.g. crucified boy). Right now, during the war - you literally can't call it a "war" or you might face being sentenced. If you share anything opposing the official view - you could get 15 years behind bars. Russian government has also forced all "opposition" media to shutdown in the last couple of days. Soon, they will annex themselves from the internet and the population will only have one source for news - the propaganda channels.

> what's coming out of Ukraine/Zelensky either

What's coming out of Ukraine/Zelensky are optimistic numbers and morale boosting statements mostly based on real events

What's coming out of Putin and RT is pure fantasy and has virtually no basis on real world events: Ukranian government are Nazis, Ukrain population is mostly pro Russia, Ukraine is mostly welcoming Russian troops, it's a liberation operation, &c.

> I saw a post yesterday on Medium that Ukraine is discriminating against black refugee

Is Medium being censored ? Is medium a Russian source ?

See, you can still get informations of all kind without RT. And calling that "the russian" side is a stretch. It is used by russian propaganda to pretend ukranians are monster though (which is ironic considering Russian stance but whatever)
The final mastering/mixing has an avg db level they target. The more compressed mixes tend to have much louder avg db. Some of these modern "loud" mixes target -3db whereas the previous ones could be -10db or something. Played at an identical volume, the more compressed track will sound louder due to this target. Loudness war is an apt name. Just look at the sample waveforms on the wikipedia page:

I mean Germany was found guilty during the Nuremberg trials in part for its invasion of Poland - the one where the USSR secretly agreed to it and murder thousands of Polish Officers.

Yet the USSR was not one of the defendants at the trial but rather one of the judges.
> Show me one "How NATO's push eastward scared Russia into war" on CNN.

The only time this comes up on CNN is when they show Putin saying it and talk about what a bullshit lie it is.

The fact is Putin wants to reestablish the Russian Empire. This was just one of the myriad excuses he used to invade. Repeating it is repeating Putin's propaganda, which is the job of his propaganda groups RT/Sputnik/etc

Poor quality but they still exist. If all digital versions were made unfeasible, you can bet good money that camripping would become more popular - and probably result in better-quality approaches at some point.
Bash that straw man!

I agree that current inequality is excessive, but the argument I made applies if there is any inequality at all. There has never been a human society with absolutely zero inequality. If there is any inequality at all there is always some "trickle down" effect in the form of aftermarkets, priming of industrial production leading to future lower prices, etc.

It's possible to simultaneously acknowledge certain "trickle down" effects and believe they can be beneficial while also being in favor of reducing inequality.
Just because some commenters disagree with an action doesn't mean they're "pro-Putin". Please refrain from that tribal, binary thinking- it doesn't help the cause.

Is it more intuitive to say that a convolutional neural network can map sets of pixels to scalars denoting categories of objects? I think not, but it's harder to misunderstand the less intuitive description, and much, much easier to overhype the more intuitive one. "OMG, neural nets can recognise cats and dogs!". Humans can recognise cats and dogs and also know what cats and dogs are, so it's very easy to misunderstand the ability of CNNs to map between sets of pixels and category labels as a general ability to understand the world, which is not there.

Agreed. It is much easier to be aware of what the other side is thinking and, if the situation or platform allows it, to challenge those ideas.
FTA : "Illustrating his point, he said some ICRC staff had tried to get out of Mariupol along an agreed route on Sunday, but soon realised "the road indicated to them was actually mined"."

So no, the road was not trapped, it was clearly indicated that it is mined.

Moreover, as a deleted post noted, agreements "in principle" are not agreements. So if there's no crystal clear agreement, then no one moves (and puts the blame on negociating parties).

I understand this may sound harsh, but sending people on a road which is not 100% safe is dangerous.
Not really, we are in the paradox of tolerance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance) here.

absolute free speech is an american construct. For historical reasons, in Germany the crime of Volksverhetzung is a thing and I'm glad for there to be limits. There's no question of what RT is doing, they're trolling at the state level.
Kudos for the inventive solution, but it is not significantly better than a good lock. Nothing is. And even that isn't really good.

An acquaintance of mine had his new and shiny bike stolen in front of his flat on a busy street over night. Well secured with awesome locks to the communal bike rack.

The thief simply cut through the rack pipe, and took bike and lock as is. Battery-powered heavy duty tools that are now easy to come by will get you anything left on the street - no matter how well secured...

This is crucial. Many people sometime need to sell. When people cannot buy it they lower the price. When they lower the price the valuation of neighboring houses goes down. If people also have less money saved because of higher oil prices, well, they another compounding factor.

Rates are going to go up, and it is much to late in the game for them to rise without serious repercussions.
Show HN: All desktop software calculators are wrong, so I had to build my own
A new calculator software cannot really bring attention (https://chachatelier.fr/chalk/)

However, I wrote a full article explaining why I had to build something "new" that does not behave like usual desktop calculator softwares :

<https://chachatelier.fr/chalk/article/chalk.html>

TL;DR
All "small" calculator softwares I know share the same design flaws. And the GUI is not the only stumbling block in their poor efficiency. Handling correctly numerical approximations - expected or not - is crucial to trust the results. It is usually not done in lightweight tools. It should. So I prove that if I could do it, OS manufacturers could as well.

At least going by the Google translation of the article you cited, I doubt that any of these broadcasters would be required to carry RT under this law. This is more about slander and libel, not about giving every political viewpoint equal airtime. So I guess the answer to your original question is, "no, we did not allow new media to ignore our laws." Because there are no laws enforcing the mechanisms you contemplated in your original comment.

As far as giving the other side the opportunity to comment, the news networks are falling all over themselves to give Russia the opportunity to comment. They would all love to have frank, on the record discussions of this issue with Russian officials. That's different than broadcasting Russian propaganda though.
