Does "cars 7.5%" mean 7.5% of the country's exports is cars OR the country supplies 7.5% of the global car market?

Reasons:

1) She was detained upon entry to Russia at the main airport in Moscow (Sheremetyevo International Airport) when they searched her bags and found marijuana. (vape cartridges) If she was detained at a backwater airport or hotel room, then the suspicion of the drugs being planted in her bag might hold more weight, but instead it appears she was legitimately caught red-handed transporting drugs.

2) She was very vocal in 2020 about not playing the national anthem at WNBA games. Now that she's been imprisoned in a foreign country she wants patriotism and American values to fight for her release?
haha yes. I mean "if you run fast, you ran fast". Can't be taken from you if you're out of shape now... if you're in great shape but didn't run fast... you didn't run fast.

The NSA, the agency, that unlawfully collected my and yours private phone data?
Well, they tried to lock things down again to a certain degree with the PS/2 and OS/2.

Of course, pretty much none of the older generation of system companies really got the PC and PC compatibility. (HP probably came closest. Being mostly compatible was still such a dramatic shift from the situation in the minicomputer space that they largely felt that it was good enough.
I’m not sure I understand the question enough to answer. Do you mean something like differential geometry? There, the theory is built upon vectors and covectors (i.e., differential forms) that are associated with tangent spaces and cotangent spaces, respectively. But that is modern differential geometry and not classical geometry.

Because social media gave literal juveniles power in numbers whereas in real life their opinions would have been largely ignored.

Love dbfiddle. Helped me so much in one of our recent projects.
Crazy(?) solution: tax tires instead of gasoline.

The tax amount would be a function of tire size since that correlates (via vehicle weight) with wear and tear on the roads.

To handle early replacement (flat tires, etc.), when tires are replaced, give a rebate based on remaining tread.

There would probably be a huge market for illegal tires (similar to illegal cigarettes), so that would require enforcement. You'd also need some way to stop tire theft. Maybe encode the vehicle's license plate number into a chip in the tire or something.

Maintenance in terms of something being broken/fixed, or is this is suggested work by the dealership?

Curious what scheduled $800 maintenance would be on a civic, I've had several hondas and they haven't needed much more than gas, fluid, tire and brake changes.
Oh so it's a pyramid scheme as well? What a horrible payment system. Imagine if whenever you sold your car you had to take a fraction of what you received for it and give it back to the dealership (or rather, the manufacturer in this case).
It does work pretty much everywhere, the catch is that some places will only bill you the toll amount. Other places will bill the toll plus a small convenience fee. Others will bill the toll and a huge penalty on top. Are you confident which jurisdiction you are traveling though? Has it changed since the last time you visited?
This has a similar interface to Worldle (https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/) which I've been playing a lot. I've long been a fan of the OEC and always use it when I get curious about what goes on in a country at a high level, so both of these things in concert will really help me improve my geography!

I’m not arguing it doesn’t work. I’m arguing it’s not predatory.

Devil’s advocate, which seems likely to me, is that having a small catalog that is frequently updated is a lot easier to make a sale on for its simplicity and expectation of finding something novel every time you look.

100 options is overwhelming. 5 is easier for the consumer. And if 95% of people who would ever buy your new skin will do so within a week of its release, it makes sense to just ship a new catalog next week and never bother with the old one again.

Hah, I didn't read it that way until reading your comment.
"Conservative media perfecting the “infotainment” genre of news commentary brought people into politics that a generation earlier would’ve paid more attention to professional wrestling or monster truck rallies instead. Liberalism has captured a combination of an overeducated class with more desire for status than intellectual curiosity along with mentally ill individuals who in the 1990s might have joined some apolitical subculture instead of becoming passionate about race and gender issues."

>Also, freedom of speech is a principle applied on the relation of people with the state, an issue for public law. This is about a private enterprise and its relations with its users, subject to the regulation of private law.

This is absolutely not what the principle of free speech is. Private companies censoring information can be every bit as insidious and damaging to society, and of course falls under the umbrella of free speech. I think you are confusing free speech for the U.S. Constitution. This only applies to American speech, and only a narrow kind of speech. When someone on the internet describes or discusses "free speech," they are typically discussing something far broader.

Gotcha. Is the cost efficiency comparable as well? Could I buy an AMD gaming CPU with similar single core performance to an Intel gaming CPU for about the same price?
I just think that the cons out weight the pros.

The professional runners are monitored so closely cutting is not a realistic option.... and they're the ones actually getting prize money... obviously they're tested for doping etc... Everything else is really just personal achievement... and if you're cheating at that level you're just depriving yourself of legitimate accomplishment. It isn't a race organizers responsibility to keep you from doing so....

When it comes to something w/ limited availability like a Boston etc... that is different.... if you cut a course (or cheated via other means) in order to submit a qualifying time you're legitimately affecting others as well. I have to admit it does get murky here and there.
It is usually better to use --user $(id -u):$(id -g) to do this. You don't really need to pass it as a variable for the most part.

That makes intuitive sense because stock valuations depend on interest rates. Long periods of low interest rates -> high P/E. Long periods of high interest rates -> low P/E.
It's worth noting that both of those examples were from the opinion section. Those aren't intended or required to be objective truth. And even then, they're just commenting on what Congress's position was at the time.
Because it's Enterprise pricing. We price based on your company. If your logo is big enough, we'll give you cost price because we'll use you as a marketing tool. If you're a government client, we'll give it to you cheap enough to get a foothold in your organisation, then pull in massive deals over years and take away discounts once it's too hard to get rid of us. If you're some random company, you get sticker price - but we can't publish that because most of our revenue comes from large Enterprise who all get custom, MNDA-protected pricing.
I'm aware. Though if we want to be more precise, that's about tensor fields, where the basis transformations of the underlying vector bundles (the tangent and cotangent bundle) are in turn induced by coordinate transformations of the base manifold.

However, physicists get introduced to tensors far earlier than any excursions into differential geometry when discussing rigid bodies.
Shouldn't kettle logic be considered a paradox of Logic? Those options are mutually exclusive only if there are no hidden variables. We could make them theories and assign probabilities:

There is X probability the client was nowhere near the scene of the murder, and Y probability he didn't mean to pull the trigger

That way these are not exclusive and the contradiction disappears. Now suppose the client is convicted because X is too high, years later a hidden variable is revealed that reduces the probability to zero. He is released from jail, but another hidden variable appears that increases Y to 100%.

There should also be a probability for unknown unknowns, when a fair coin falls sideways.
If you can get the parts you need in SSOP or TSSOP packaging, with the pins visible from straight down, laser brazing might work.

Brazing is done at higher temperatures than soldering, but with a laser, you can apply the heat to just the area of interest, and hopefully not cook the ICs. Laser soldering already exists, and there are laser cutters, so adapting one for laser brazing ought to be possible.

The advantage of brazing is that you can use many more materials, most of which don't contain either tin or lead. Low-cost aluminum brazing rod or wire might work. Working temp around 700C. This is going to take careful heat management. Worth a try for aerospace applications.

I live in a developing country where inflation is moderate. Just do anything other than holding on to the money.

Starting a business becomes substantially less risk than taking a job.

Some people would say buy property etc and you can just raise rent along with inflation. But it doesn't necessarily work that way; the prices may actually go up slower than inflation.
Meanwhile, there are millions of wrecks every year in the US alone. I'm sure a large portion of those drivers said the same until they got hit. You need only browse /r/IdiotsInCars for a few minutes to witness the full range of ways people with the best of intentions can get in wrecks because someone else acted like a fool, and how many could have been prevented with lane keeping and emergency stop features.

The roads are a highly regulated public space where safe, smooth motion depends on everyone working together, and where one little error can throw it into chaos. Everyone will mess up if they live long enough. You can make some philosophical argument against mandatory safety features if you like, but I hate driving as it is and welcome any feature that reduces the odds or severity of the inevitable results of the limits of human perception and reaction time.
"Yet, like the proverbial frog in boiling water, the average person back then may only have realised slowly just how grim conditions in their world were getting..."

I just have to point out that scientists have in fact tried this, and the frog in the water, as soon as it gets uncomfortably warm, jumps out. There is no evidence that it is possible to raise the temperature slowly enough that it does not do this, and it's not for lack of trying.

+1 to this and your other diet related comments. think the issue in large part is insulin resistance driven by high carb processed food and replacing fat in things with sugar thanks to the (22 - 15) countries study. fasting & keto can help someone recover... but so much polarization that people don't want to hear that either. so... think _enough_ of the science is out there at this point, but things are going to keep getting worse, more obesity, type 2 diabetes, sicker. you'd think the mortality correlation with covid would have woken more people up. oh well.

I think it's important to emphasis that this is only the American public. Many other countries _do_ prefer to fund public transport with general taxation. And things are much saner as a result: high quality public transport and bike lanes, without arcane rules around transponders and specific highway lanes.

Literally everyone owns a BMW? That's quite a bubble you're living in!
Electric car or not shouldn't there always be an incentive for extra occupants? Those cars require a huge amount of resources to make and run. Personally, I think even the tax breaks are off. The biggest tax breaks should be from not owning a car at all. The second is probably not buying a new car because you're not using additional resources. Then maybe new electric cars followed with hybrids.

Two things.

First, there's no evolutionary pressure to minimize pollution, so I don't know why you'd assume that "nature does it in the lest pollution manner [sic] that artificial processes will not be able to match".

Secondly, even if nature is somehow more efficient than science can ever match for running an entire living creature, that's not what lab meat is doing. Almost everything an animal needs to do - think, feel, breathe, digest, move, maintain organs, and on and on and on - lab meat doesn't need to do. So potentially losses in efficiency for growing meat cells can be made up for by the fact that you're not doing any of the other things animals need to do besides growing meat cells.

Yeah, that makes it totally unusable for me, it's ridiculous that they don't let the user set the hours and insist that you must follow the sun, because that's "more natural". Even though that might be true, it's totally impractical, you can't organise your work day after the sun, that's totally incompatible with the rest of society.

Well, those PhD guys don't even know that eating same cells all time would kill our species ? We need to assimilate different DNA from each plant, each animal, to keep evolving our own one and avoid diseases. It's basic and this is why this kind of stuff don't cross some borders. Focus on reducing meat consumption instead.
I would say so, anything you can to prevent an attacker from gaining useful information is a good deterrent (just like the comment that mentioned hiding version numbers from being displayed). The more deterrents you have, the more you frustrate an attacker and dissuade them from wanting to invest time in exploiting you. So to figure out what open ports you have, if you're using something to block/limit port scanning, it means you're exponentially increasing the time to figure out what ports are open, and possibly forcing them to rotate IP addresses that get banned.

I also don't like wasting CPU or bandwidth, however minuscule, on illegitimate traffic. Unless they are collecting data for a research project or you've hired someone to pentest you, someone port scanning you almost always indicates malicious intent.

A search engine should have ranking factors that tie to the end goal of providing the most relevant results to their users.

However this decision is about unilaterally down-ranking a subset of results because of the political view expressed on them (if it was about misinformation than surely they would want to down-rank all misinformation equally - if they had capability to do so in the first place).

This is at the same level of absurdity from a search engine user perspective as would downranking sites because their tld is .net or because they are in italian language.
You're forgetting about how leveraged housing is though.

If you bought a 500k house five years ago with 100k down, and now it's worth 1m -- you've effectively gained a 500% return on your 100k, maintained your principle, and you could live in your investment to boot. A house with 20% down (or less) in many housing markets would have blown the S&P out of the water in the past several years.

Yes, you can leverage in the stock market too -- but rarely at a 4:1 ratio -- and if you did leverage up too much, you would have been wiped out by a margin call in 2020.
All I hear about is how in ios there are a few giant apps and the rest don't even make money. I suppose you could work on corporate apps but that sounds remarkably similar to line of business .NET appslications.
You're right. Fundamentally, there is no unbiased search engine. Ranking results by definition innately creates a bias.

(To be a pedant on my own post: I guess you could do a search engine that collates all search results relating to a keyword and then just shows you a random one first, but I doubt that's what the people want).
... I suspect Russia will react by relaxing copyright laws on Disney films. Business will continue as usual, only without profits flowing back to Disney (or foreign reserves flowing out of Russia).

Ignoring the rest of your comment you don’t need a superconducting network to move power around the globe. China just built a 3,300km 1,100KV DC line to move 12GW east or west with less than 10% losses. You can play with the geometry but no city on the earth is more than ~7,000km from sunlight, which would mean at most ~20% losses ignoring the ocean.

However, that’s incredibly wasteful vs building local battery storage. Especially by the time we need it, globally only 3% of electricity is from solar it’s going to be 20+ years before storage is an issue and batteries are already being built for large scale grid storage.

You can play with adoption curves but approximately 3.5 million more EV’s where built in 2021 than 2020. That took an incredible investment in battery factories and the trend is only going in one direction.
