> Nobody is patenting naturally occurring plants to my knowledge. Plant breeders make specific (usually) sexual crosses and sift through the progeny. Since plants have tremendous variation, many of the progeny are different than the parents. This is the basic form of one invention.

I never argued that they were patenting wild plants. But bred plants existed long before they could be patented. Indeed, Monsanto did not start with "wild" strains, but with strains developed over millenia of selective breeding. Plant patents are a form of "enclosure", where a domain that was previously freely available to the public (plant breeding) becomes commercialized and monetized so only a few entities can realistically improve on plant strains without risking a lawsuit. How this benefits innovation in the broad sense is beyond me. But it's certainly good for biotech companies' bottom line.

This is a 40-year-old mystery for me--why is it so very hard to get agreement about when & how much to design. Moving too much of the design too soon doesn't work. Moving it too late doesn't work, not in the long run. But why is everyone so completely dissatisfied with every possible option?

I would prefer a version of the license that did not use fowl language. Fowl language is not suitable for my porpoises.

Beyond that, it would be nice if the license expressly granted unlimited copyright and patent permissions so that this is not assumed from the brief language of the license.

A bad actor could try to argue that he did NOT give you patent rights. Nothing in the license said so. You could argue that the license should be interpreted broadly to include that. Thus there is now a legal conflict.

I would prefer a license that is more explicit in exactly what legal rights it grants.

This reminds me of the short lived "no license" movement of some years back. If your code doesn't have a license, I'm not going to touch it with a ten foot pole. Nothing give me permission to use it. But you say "I'm giving it to you. I wouldn't sue you. I promise!" How about if you're really such a good guy, putting that promise in writing (it's called a license).

I believe that you misunderstand arranged marriage and marriage in general.

The Christian understanding of marriage has always, always been one of mutual consent. The Catholic Church, for one, does not consider marriages valid unless both husband and wife have exchanged their free consent to the marriage as it is understood. That is, they know the implications of the vows, they know marriage is a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and they are both willing to lovingly accept children into their family by whatever means.

Therefore, Christian families arranging marriage rely on the consent of bride and groom. It may be somewhat grudging and it may not come from a place of romantic love, but free and willing consent must be granted, or that marriage is 100% invalid.

Show where this model disagrees with reality.
> As for duck typing, why would that make a language slower exactly?

I assumed it would result in basically every operation to require multiple lookups to figure out how types would interact at runtime. Like a simple "foo.bar(biz + baz)" would have to check the types of biz and baz, figure out how to add them, then look up the foo object and make sure it has a function named baz, and then call it.

I assumed all these lookups and verifications would add significant overhead.

Bridging the gap of Gmail and Google contacts
It's funny how everyone who claims PV "deceptively edits" is forced to retract those statements because there is no evidence of such.

Wikipedia isn't, and has never been, a valid source of truth. PV has won every time such claims have been brought to court. So cite all the biased articles you like. They post the videos. Edit all you want, those words came from those educator's mouths. That contains more truth than you'll ever find in a news article attempting to spin a narrative.
There is practically no way to create filters on gmail based on whether the email is coming from your contact or not. So I built this open source solution that basically labels emails coming from people outside of your contact list.

PS. It's open source. Let me know your thoughts.
I actually really enjoyed the second movie of the new trilogy because it seemed to be a shockingly self-aware deconstruction of some of the Star Wars tropes and its place in culture in general. How it ever got greenlit by Disney of all entities is an enduring mystery.
> but this paper shows that heavier vehicles are not that and in fact do more harm than good for the system overall

How did you derive that from the paper? If anything, this paper + the data from https://www.iihs.org/ratings/driver-death-rates-by-make-and-... actually sound like everyone should switch to SUVs, cause switching to SUV reduces the death rate by up to 6 times, and everyone else doing the same (according to the paper) only adds up to 50%, so the total is a reduction of up to 4x.

I mean it is kinda obvious, that the bigger - the safer. Cause in a collision of to ginormous mechs chances to keeps a small capsule with the driver intact are basically 100%.

I am impressed so many people here read the report and took it as a confirmation of their existing bias towards small cars with 0 thinking.
Doing nothing would have likely let to a far better outcome than what we have.
I came across a case where a disgruntled former lodger added stuff like that to a woman academic's Wikipedia biography, citing purported court documents (alleged driving offences) that had never been the subject of a press report.

Nobody cares who you are. The better approach is:

1. prepare to die (gets their attention)

2. because you killed my father (explanation)

3. I am Inigo Montoya (background info)

Beware of things that "work" in movies. I've been led astray by that too many times.

BTW, ever wonder why movies start out with an action sequence that often has little to do with the rest of the movie? It's to get your attention. Let's face it, you and I watch the first couple minutes of a movie to decide if we want to invest more time in it or click to the next Netflix movie. (Do we care who the director is? Nope.)

Much in life works the same way.
This is legitimate feeling, maybe because not all your employees might have Instagram. We can't assume it wasn't also done on internal channels, though?
Granted, surgeons and FANG engineers can build up millions in wealth, but they are nowhere near the median person in the US. Romantic partnerships tend to be class-segregated, so most people don’t have the option of marrying up like that.

I speculate that if you stratify they survey responses by income, you’d find that people of X income are going to require 10X+ for a money marriage.

If you are primarily looking out the window, MS wins because they spend a lot of effort making sure to model the entire world in great detail. No shame in that, it's a great way to enjoy a flight sim and MS did an amazing job with it. And in fairness, they really upped their game with the weather engine and flight models as well. It's a fine product.

Otherwise, X-plane 12 is pretty compelling as well and it probably wins in the flight model department in terms of just modeling a lot of weird and niche stuff out of the box. Most people will never notice but it's there to appreciate for those that can appreciate these things.

And with the right scenery, it doesn't look half bad either. E.g. orbx has scenery for both sims and I suspect things look pretty close with that. And there are some nice free add-ons that will get you closer to the MS experience but probably not all the way. E.g. Simheaven.com is getting ready with an xplane-12 release; completely free.

X-plane 12 is a pretty big upgrade if you were using or familiar with x-plane 11:

- volumetric clouds and weather updates

- the rendering is gorgeous in comparison

- lots of refinement in flight models, audio, ATC, weather engine, etc.

- Lots of nice new default planes

- Amazing work on the sound. Seeing a jet take off is one thing. But hearing the rumble is another thing.

Give the free demo a spin. Easiest way to find out if it's worth your money. Works great on recent Macbooks with the M1 processor.
Crazy idea: FB should stop trying to lure people back from Tiktok with weird features and just lean in to its one remaining strength, which is that among social media sites, it's the most generic and boring and ubiquitous. Being the default place for non-influencers to do quotidian stuff like hearing about school closings, joining the PTA or HOA, coordinating family gatherings, see your nephew's school photos, etc would be a pretty good little business. And they already have all of that functionality built, so they could run significantly leaner, and hence not have to drive their remaining users away with excessive ads.

This seems like a good idea to me. But I also think it's about as likely to happen as President Stallman.

I recommend to have a look at Mill. It's versatile, built on simple foundations, and implements many concepts from general-purpose build tools such as Bazel (but of course it was designed for Scala). It's easy to call it from various scripts too, and doesn't require you to design your project around your build tool.

At work we've used mill to first replace sbt and then also gradle in another project, and haven't looked back. It worked out-of-the-box for our JVM projects, and we trivially wrote custom "rules" for integrating cmake-based C++ projects into the build.
- Sanctions are most definitely weakening Russia, by demolishing its economy in the medium- and long-term.

- Russia has no elections since it's a near-totalitarian autocracy with usurpers firmly in charge by force.

- Ukraine hasn't been buying Russian gas for about 5 years now. Russian gas is transited via Ukraine, even during the war, since it's a rare situation that's in the best interest of all parties to the conflict, but 0 gas is purchased by Ukraine from Russia.

- Supply issues are due to a war of aggression and attempts to deprive the aggressor of a major revenue source (which no one claimed will stop the war immediately, it's a long-term/punitive move).

- EU has no choice but to diversify from Russia, since the only alternative is neutering of the EU and vassalage in all foreign policy matters that Putin chooses. (A significant percentage of the people expressing concern about supply issues and advocating a reversal are in fact concern-trolling and probably want this to happen. Are you one of those?)

Russia uses energy as a weapon, so it must be deprived of this weapon.
I love Kim Newman for his Anno Dracula series, as well as his other genre-deconstructing work. "Coastal City" is a neat little jaunt through the progression in superhero comics, and The Night Mayor is quite a surreal VR love letter to film noir. Had no idea that he wrote a CYOA about a young man in '80s Britain! Sounds like Netflix owes him some inspiration credits for their own Bandersnatch streaming CYOA.
With cherry picking you can make any point you want.

Most of the article are complaints about dependency convergence. Convergence is completely irrelated to Scala. It happens with any JVM projects and may happen with almost any project for any platform. There are multiple ways to address it.

Regarding Akka - let it rest in peace, it was one step ahead and ten steps back. Actors have too many fundamental problems to be a good general-purpose model.

Also we should be able to isolate process from each other as if they are running inside a true VM.

For example: one process trying to use all the memory on the machine should evict its own memory page from memory and try to swap them to disk but not evict memory page of other process.
This is a good opportunity to reflect on how irrelevant and vacuous is the omnipresent "It's a private company, they can do whatever they want." We also have a right to criticize them for whatever reason.
Yes, these things get conflated. The one valid concern though, are adjacent fields - one using licensed, IP protected seed, and the other using a heirloom variety. There have been cases of cross-pollination where the non-IP-purchasing heirloom user is accused of using seeds by evidence of the resulting cross-pollinated results. It isn't clear to me if this a just a fear or something that has happened (the lawsuits, certainly cross-pollination occurs).

These "user generated content companies" spend a lot of time and money marketing to the content creators (Patreon is defending against the built-in platform monetization of things like Youtube and Twitch, et al) and getting big name content creators on their platform (see some of the leaks related to Onlyfans, etc al).

If the Church of England started in the 600s, it was nevertheless fully in union with Rome for the next 900 years. The Church of England/Roman Catholic Church was onboard with notions of exclusivity and permanence of marriage for all those intervening years.

The reason that CoE's genesis is largely traced to the mid-16th century is because Henry VIII had trouble producing an heir with an eligible wife, and he was more than willing to break with the Holy See on such a momentous issue. He declared himself Head of the Church. He declared himself arbiter of the marriage laws.

Henry arrogated so much authority that Rome was unable to continue in union with that Church of England, no matter how old and venerable its roots may have been.

> I imagine her DNA is not evidence of any crime, only the rapist's.

The entirety of the forensic process is evidence. It's scary that there are people who might think differently. It's a fundamental cornerstone of our Constitutional process.

> Say I had a diary and wrote an entry after I was raped, which was then submitted as evidence - could the police look through the rest of my diary and see that I had an entry from 4 years ago about breaking into a house?

Yes. A person accusing another person of a crime does not get to pick and choose what evidence to turn over.

If you were accused of raping someone, and there were such a diary, would you not want your defense counsel to be able to review the fifteen diary entries previous to that, planning out how to frame you for such a crime?
