> "I do" can follow "do you have?", but not "have you got?". it's not being asked if you have, rather if you have got.

Let me direct your attention to:

>>> that's almost as annoying as "have you got them?" - "I do" - "do what.. do have? do got??"

Where you yourself originally acknowledged that the question had been apparently interpreted as "do you have?". So...

> "Have", obviously. That's the only one that goes with "do", being in the present tense.

...still stands.

> why bother mixing tenses and rephrasing?

To illustrate what was actually being answered; do try to keep up. And, hey... Who introduced the mixed tenses?

> you're trying to complicate something simple so you can cleverly unravel it, which is just pointless.

Sure, if one is determined not to get the point. Actually what I said was pretty simple: Of the two alternatives "do what.. do have? do got??", "do have" is obviously the intended one, because it has the same tense throughout; "do got" is ungrammatical and never used. What's "complicated" about that?

> the point being: "I do" is an unacceptable response to "have you got them?", and if anything is implied it's "do have got" in the first answer, which again is the point of being nonsense

If anything is nonsense, I would have thought it's "which again is the point of being nonsense".

> I made the decision to use those more sparingly when I became a scholar of latin

Oh? I thought your previous posts were in English. Damn, I must be better at Latin [sic] than I thought.

Not at all. Swim in your own in stead.

> you can help yourself to some spelling corrections for 'rey'

Fucking backspace next to 'l' on the phone KB... Ate the 'p' and of course never entered the 'l' in 'reply'. When will I learn not to post to HN on that fucking contraption?

My bad.

Why would I need those if I'm so full of them already?!? Get off your high horse, "latin" boi. The Romans valued clear logic, and you're embarrassing them.

It isn't, exactly, a oneweb terminal is MUCH too big and expensive for an ordinary residential consumer or small business. It's two active tracking parabolic antennas with their own RF chains in radomes, takes up about a 2.5 meter long x 1 meter wide space on a roof or similar.

More than 1.5 years ago oneweb pivoted to a plan to sell high capacity uplink services for regional ISPs and telecoms on a business to business basis only. The oneweb terminal is still much larger and more costly than the recently announced starlink premium.

oneweb in its current plan to sell services to ISPs currently dependent on geostationary is more like a cheaper/slightly smaller o3b terminal.
Transfers into MIT were nearly non-existent as of the 1980s. To do so, I'd think you'd first have to have done half of the core math and science curriculum because lots of classes beyond them start from one or more of them as common base as you can probably guess from studying SICP.

So AP BC calculus and calculus based classical mechanics and E&M. The biology and chemistry requirements can be satisfied with sufficiently disparate courses they can't be assumed as base knowledge, there are now five different options for Introductory Biology (http://catalog.mit.edu/mit/undergraduate-education/general-i...) and you can do wet or solid state chemistry.

I was just asserting out that a law that banned spyware-based advertising would harm the current website ecomomy which is largely based around spyware. I would like to see an end to mass spying, and therefore the creation of a different kind of funding mechanism. That could indeed be brought about by law, but that seems a bit too violent to me. I think what we're missing is a better alternative.

I read an interesting article (from the mid 2000s? Will update if I can find it) arguing that microtransactions will never work due to the cognitive burden of paying for hundreds (or thousands!) of tiny things a day.

Brave's BAT seems to solve this part of the problem by automating the payments based on how much time the user spends on each site. It would require everyone to switch to Brave and use their crypto thing to make it work, so it's obviously "suboptimal".
This war started in 2014 when a foreign funded protest was created to overthrow a democratically elected (albeit corrupt) government. This government then responded to local demands for autonomy in minority provinces by attacking them with neo-Nazi militia for the past 8 years.
The issue isn't electricity, it's the fact that German municipal heat plants run on natural gas. Replacing all of that with electrically-powered equipment (centralized or at the endpoints) takes time.
A half-hearted proxy war, perhaps. It’s hard to ask US citizens to make real sacrifices (who, beyond symbolism and sympathy, probably don’t give a practical shit about Ukraine - specifically, very few are interested in sending family members to die in Ukraine).

Not sure how my 25 cent analysis of US would translate to Germany, but demands on citizens should probably not get too out of sync with the level of existential threat the citizens perceive. If there’s a perception problem, fix that and then make the demands for sacrifice.
But that's outside, not inside. Even an old building with lesser insulation and double-pane windows will hold a higher temperature when inhabited. Humans radiate more than a few watts. It's not comfortable, it's definitely a health concern, but it's still not 0°C.

An anecdote from earlier this winter when the electricity prices peaked in Europe: my girlfriend and I live on 79 sqm in a modern apartment building with triple-pane windows, and because of the landlord being a stingy d*ck we went through several weeks without any heating. During the worst 7-10 days we had a temperature of -4°C outside, but never below 15°C inside. When the temperature rose to 5°C we had about 18°C inside.
I tried laying out a tiny little USB switch on a JLCPCB board with .154mm traces and got about 50% mortality. Could be partly that I'm not good at PCB design but clearly there's a _lot_ of margin you need to leave.
I'm pretty sure the live photo frames are lower quality though, as it stores the live photo part as a compressed video rather than individual images, so you're looking at a grab of a video which could have artefacts and lower resolution.

Why You're Not Getting Promoted (As an Engineer)
As others have said, "skall uppges" is just the passive future-tense form of "att ge upp" ("to give up" --> "shall be given up"). Someone said the text was written in the 1960s. I'm not sure about that, but I do know it was continuously re-published throughout the 1980s... And already, the usage is unfamiliar to current dictionaries and translation resources! In a few decades more, it will be as gobbledy-gook to (then-)current Swedish-speakers as stuff from the 1940s is now.

Or just use primitives in the dependency array of your existing hooks?
honestly, why? Would you or I understanding lead to some way to stop them doing it? I doubt it. Sometimes actions are egregious enough to stand on their own with no need for rationalization or understanding. They are simply wrong. Most peoples time would be best served simply condemning their actions and seeking to understand things that can benefit the world. With that said, its not hard to comprehend why they do it. People are a product of their environment and if they are raised believing in certain truths that shape their world view, they tend to hold onto those and ignore things that fly in the face of them. They pass those same truths on to their offspring.
Let me copy/paste my question here and check if it was trolling or legitimate question:

Question sounds pathetic, sorry for that, couldn't find better words, but mostly civilians are suffering in this war, why don't you ask Zelensky to surrender and stop this war?

Here is my rationale:

* every single day of war costing more civilian lives from Ukrainian side

* every attack is destroying Ukraine

* every weapon sent by West as a "help" is going to increase resistance, which in turn makes war to last longer.

* don't expect intervention from West, otherwise we might see nuclear bomb thrown to somewhere

* we can ask same question to Putin, why don't you stop the war, but he started war, so he is not going to stop it unless agreement is reached

Let's talk about different cases of power balance:

1. Russia has more power: that means eventually Ukraine will be capitulated

2. Ukraine has more power: Ukraine will win this war, assuming it won't attack Russia, whole Ukraine will be in ruins, lots of lives lost, but in Russia side no civilians are killed, economy will recover, people will say Putin was to blame, now he died, include us to EU

3. equal power balance: war indefinitely

4. Someone from government kills Putin: Then they can say, look we killed him, we are not responsible, so lift the sanctions, similar situation to Option 2 will happen

Option 2 is unlikely at this moment, even if it happens, Ukraine won't win economically, look at what happened in Libya, Syria their economies didn't recover after war.

Stop the war, don't expect Putin is going to stop this war, don't fuel war with weapons.
Exactly! Whataboutism or even the fallacy of relative privation seems to be just everywhere these days. I don't understand the appeal of it. Someone is trying to do something good, is it really neccessary to shoot it down just because there are OTHER bad things that need attention? Such a strange way of moving the spotlight to themselves, in pretending to shine a light on bigger problems.

Neglectful parents don’t have to also kick one out of the house in order to be neglectful.

There are levels to this. I’m same as OP in terms of “looked like they could’ve gone to MIT” but was born in the wrong family. Ended up going to University of Washington after doing some community college - so it’s not like I went to the worst school in the world. But it was a long journey to get there and I do work at a target company now. Again, a very long journey… That could’ve been changed by just an interview or something else entirely.
Anyone else expect this to be about the Windows scheduler?

It's not really self deception. It's more of faith with a whole lot of ignorance. Ignorance of the old ways. How to go about it. So they get easily scammed by fake priests. Most african indigenous spiritual practices have been bastardized by the influx of islam and christianity. Most people believe in the old gods and are right to do so; but generational knowledge transfer is dwindling because of societal pressure. It's not really fashionable to be a traditionalist in Nigeria.
These things are undoubtedly cool. Pisonic is great, just vanilla supercollider with the JIT things like Pdef are really cool, Orca, as others have mentioned, is simply beautiful and work unto itself.

But with all these "live" programmable music things, I fail to find anything lasting in what they produce as works of music/art, I much prefer to see the software itself, and its potentialities, as the "work" that others continually express with them.

I love making music with computers, but there is so much infrastructure around things needing to be "realtime" and responsive, minimal latency, a million knobs on your controller, abstract grid controllers, high precision encoders (basically anything Monome has done), tons of ways to route and reroute data, all for the purpose of "performing" your toys. All so many things that are not really necessary to create something. Making digital music is so much more rewarding when your are not trying to plan a set to perform them. Thinking about the kinds of things computers can do ahead of time, and not just "just in time," opens up so much more creativity and ways of thinking about making music. And very importantly (for me), you can save your wallet, and not have to get lost in the dark money pit of buying equipment, or wanting to buy equipment, all the time.

These things definitely have their place and I think they are themselves beautiful, but there is a tension in them that is not really necessary.

If you want to hear some cool things you can make with just some extreme talent, imagination, and MaxMSP, without this emphasis put on being "performable" and realtime, look to Carl Stone [1]. He is just walking circles around everyone else, and really really showing what computers can do in the interest of art, rather than in the interest of being some techno-nerd rockstar.

Angela Merkal called this a destruction of national property, and they (CDU) extended life of plants 8-14 years. There were 17 plants at the time.

Total production that has been shutdown (baseload power) is around 19,689MW now post fukushima.

They've been able to replace maybe 4MW's with solar at this point? It's kind of mind boggling how much was shut down - the problem this has caused for electrification in germany is significant as now german electric prices are actually very high not low.

Annual contracts for electricity are running 46 cents / kwH which is CRAZY if you want to electrify your country.

France which is right next door, has much more annoying labor laws / high cost of labor is perhaps half that price.
regarding the security guarantees, it appears that memorandum was not legally binding, and provides no real guarantees, as per the US themselves, and pre-2014.

"Regardless, the United States publicly maintains that "the Memorandum is not legally binding", calling it a "political commitment"."[0]

"not legally binding", below.

"Media Statement by the U.S. Embassy in Minsk
April 12, 2013
Repeated assertions by the government of Belarus that U.S. sanctions violate the 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances are unfounded. Although the Memorandum is not legally binding, we take these political commitments seriously and do not believe any U.S. sanctions, whether imposed because of human rights or non-proliferation concerns, are inconsistent with our commitments to Belarus under the Memorandum or undermine them. Rather, sanctions are aimed at securing the human rights of Belarusians and combating the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and other illicit activities, not at gaining any advantage for the United States."[1]

It's not clear that the majority of Germans are willing to do that, especially since it wouldn't just end the war right away. I've also heard a politician on German news quote the estimated "few percent GDP decline" as a result of banning gas imports from Russia, which apparantly implies that it's "not possible" ("nicht machbar"). They make it sound like it's on par with breaking the laws of physics and our of their hands...
Try Xubuntu or Lubuntu. These are targeted for lower hardware requirements than a base Ubuntu system with GNOME. If you can upgrade the hardware, adding 2GB more RAM could help (with the current config, I doubt if the laptop can have more RAM). Getting a small SSD would also help speed things up.

Apple does offer a 32GB Mini but it is the older Intel model still around for specialized retail channels. The M1 does not have enough memory controllers to handle 32GB of RAM. The expectation is, once Apple has the M2 ready, it may be built to take more RAM. If not, expect either an M1/2 Pro Mini or an M1/2 Pro Studio at a lower starting price. there is too much of a price gap right now between the base Mini and the base Studio. Apple needs to put something in that spot to allow a smooth upgrade path.
It's good to be explicit about what content you are seeking, as historically spots like 500px were very photo-centric, and other places were a catch-all for anything and how sites gain an identity/curate/attract users can be strongly affected by those early choices (disclosure: I've used dozens of these kinds of services over the years, and even worked at one -DeviantArt- at one point, so my view is only partly anecdotal :)
It's one thing when you try and fail to make nukes. Ukraine had them and voluntarily gave them up for security assurances that turned out to be bullshit. This is certainly partly the fault of Ukraine's politicians at the time - they should have seen the "Budapest memorandum" for the toilet paper it was. But it also buries any hopes that current nuclear states might be persuaded to give up nukes in the future.

My view on this is that nuclear non-proliferation is a kind of sacred cow that everyone must be seen to support, but everyone understands that nuclear arms can be a stabilizing factor - they prevented numerous wars already, and prevented wars from getting out of control (e.g. India vs Pakistan). I don't know what the best way to maximize peace is, but it's not in any way clear to me that eradication (but especially reduction without eradication) of nuclear weapons is the way to get there. And it really doesn't matter to me how civilians die, in a Nagasaki nuclear explosion or a Tokyo firestorm.
Since when did the UK surround and starve Baghdad??? These are completely different situations.

In Mariupol, thousands of civilians have died in days of Russian bombing (the mayor estimates up to 20 000, but 4000 already certified) - including the deliberately shelling of civilian buildings by Russian forces. They've cut off power, heating, water, and have bombed theatres, schools, hospitals. Corpses are rotting in the streets.
Any explicit examples?
