Is this based on your intuition or is there more to it? The DoT tracks automobile issues and it looks like the top ones are engine, engine cooling, other power train, air bags, and brakes. [1]

I'm sure you do. I think that is obvious that regulatory agencies were established to solve complex and dynamic problems, and so broad language should be interpreted, well, broadly. If Congress wants something else done in response to changing circumstances, they can always change the laws. I think that should not be controversial. But we live in an age of billionaire-driven propaganda about this topic, so controversial it will be.

Out of the entire thread, it was the only question I found that was worth reading. Pity people had to go and take issue with it instead of engaging properly and as the guidelines suggest.

These topics don't get much time before whatever force is at play flags them out of view.
I got one shot, the J&J. Didn't want it, but was being threatened with termination at work. Have not had any boosters, and work has since dropped all their vaccine requirements.
My guess is (slightly?) better binning in addition to "forced" PL1 and PL2 limits. Better silicon can run stable at lower voltage, ergo lower power, ergo lower temps, so I bet there's some binning for T SKUs so Dell & co. can ship not-overheating micro PCs.
Because an unexploitable browser (which is the main fundamental advantage of Servo) is more important for Tor than elsewhere since an exploit will compromise anonymity.

Also, since Tor browsing is often done with JavaScript off, and removing JavaScript removes a huge amount of web features that need to be supported (including a JavaScript engine, which I think Servo still doesn't have a pure Rust implementation of), it's much easier to make a usable browser for this use case than others.
So many posts on here (and I suppose the original post too) are making this a binary argument

"Either we fix Earth, or we go to Mars". What happened to doing both? They're not incompatible with each other. We don't have to destroy Earth to build a Martian colony. We don't have to abandon the space program to fix climate change. Everyone's looking for a fight today.

Honestly, I have a contradicting personal experience. For me, it takes me an order of magnitude longer to process an analog watchface into a numerical reading, than just glance over a digital watchface directly (over a second versus a few hundred milliseconds).

For the progress bars (or, say, tank level gauges) it totally makes sense - I like them the same way you've presented, it's easier to ingest [####__] (or, better, [####__]62%, so it can be also spelled out if someone's asking) than 189/304.

Linked book doesn't open for me, but I agree that this also applies to various instruments, especially in aviation, where IFR is of extreme importance. Though for a car I've picked mine specifically based on having a clear large digital speedometer (because unlike on an aircraft, cars 101% rely on seeing outside) and I'm always interested in speedometer reading for answering "how fast I'm going, exactly?" (speed limit comparison is a no-brainer, and with a precise reading I can maintain speed at +/-1mph of the desired target, which is impossible with an analog speedometer) rather than "am I slowing down or speeding up?" (I see this already).

But watches - when using for telling time - aren't really gauges, are they? Analog watchfaces can be (and are, by some) used as a gauge when measuring time intervals ("how long had passed", "how much time left"?), but again, like I wrote, I suspect that most people read the time then do the arithmetic rather than imagining a pie chart.
The heat is coming from the inside of the fridge and from the power used. It's net positive heat.

I really don't get this anti-speculation sentiment, it seems really disingeniousa as it only becomes a problem when it becomes accessible to all. People seem to be very okay with speculation when done by billionaires, banks and wallstreet professionals, shareholders etc. but when poor people get a chance to do it, then it's a problem.
This may be because your sample rate was not a multiple of 16000. If that's the case, a low-quality, linear resampling is applied to the input audio to make it compatible with the pitch detection model. This resampling function should be improved.

I just pushed a change that will attempt to set your sample rate to 48000 now which may improve your quality. Additionally, your sample rate will now log out in the console.
An incredible use of math
printf is a bad joke of a formatting function.

When i want to print a string i don't want to worry about the security implications of that. With printf i have to. [0]

And i certainly don't want a turing complete contraption. [1] Also looking at log4j.

And even if everything is correct, it's has to parse a string at runtime. I consider that alone unaesthetic.

>Edit: It's almost like the whole world got a lot of work done with the tools they already had.

The best metaphor i know for this attitude is "stacking chairs to reach to moon". If you don't care about the limits of the tech you will be stuck within it.

I'm time and time again amused how anti intellectual and outright hostile to technological progress the programming profession is. programmers, out of all of them.

You can only share files up to 5 times/month with non-Google accounts
Gsuite / Google for Work user?

There is a newly enforced limit on (paid!) Google Workspace accounts - you can only share files with non-Google users up to 5 times each calendar month. Note that this doesn't cap external accounts, just those that are non-Google. So want to share with your personal Gmail account - no problem. More than 5 @hotmails - nope!

Only way around is to upgrade to a plan that is double the price.

"Important: If you use a Google Workspace Business Starter or Frontline account, you can share files up to 5 times each calendar month with non-Google accounts. Each time is defined as sharing one document with one visitor."

Not sure who at Google thought this was the right way to upsell business accounts. Also, there is no mention of this limit in any plan description (eg. https://support.google.com/a/answer/6043385).

Feels like a shake-down.
MSG isn’t a casino. They have completely different business models and security needs. Casinos already have video surveillance on every single table as well as people monitoring them, on top of the on-floor security staff, which exist in much greater numbers than at MSG. This is a completely unreasonable comparison. There are no circles here, just your head in the sand ignoring these key fundamental differences that explain exactly why you are wrong. They are facially obvious and it's no coincidence that MSG didn't begin this conduct until facial recognition enabled them to.
IgG4 is the class of immunoglobulin responsible for shifting immune response upon encountering some antigen from attack to tolerance, which is good for false positive pathogens like flower pollen that cause seasonal allergies. But that's of course not the type of response one would want from their immune system when encountering SARS-COV-2, since if the viral particles are being tolerated as opposed to being cleared by one's immune system, it leaves the viruses uninhibited to multiply and continuously damage your body.
Perhaps not that important, but this article is from 2016.
FWIW I am planning to go to an homeless centre and lie that I haven't had my 2rd booster (which I had in september). I took the opportunity to get the 2nd booster early in september because our gov. told us it was important and there was some stock that would have gone bad so people could volunteer (and they were announcing a spike infection). But it was a bivalent wuhan/delta, not the wuhan/omicron that was made available 2 weeks after I had the shot (we were told those wouldn't be available until this year.. damn lies).

There are no campaign for a 3rd booster in my country, and it doesn't look like they are planning to so far (which is an entirely different story).

I have to read a bit more to evaluate if it's safe or not before I act on my plan.

To be clear, I had: first dose: 2 MRNA shots, then a first booster then a second booster. Planning to get a 3rd.
Original posits are variable width, making them nearly useless for high performance parallel computations. Later versions don't add anything of use for low precision neural networks, and lack of hardware support anywhere make them too slow for anything other than toying around.

I actually wrote some Hope for an FP survey class back in the 80s. Unfortunately, it didn't leave the impression on me that SML did, and I don't remember anything specific about it other than it was clearly an 'academic' language.

There was a Byte magazine article about it at the time, and they released an MS-DOS version of the interpreter to go with it. I would bet it's still floating around should one want to give it a go.
Tech is an amplifier for people and people under this form of capitalism are distinctively desperate corrupt pieces of shit.
Yes, the relative abundance produced by capitalism would have overcome the USSR/Russia even absent Yeltsin's visit. Everywhere communism has been tried, it's failed, and the most assertive efforts have led to the death of tens of millions.
And when the grid goes down, then what will you do? How will the utility compensate you for your death when they find you frozen?

This is not an academic question, especially in North America. The weather here can be very harsh.

We lost power earlier this year as the temparature dropped to 0F (-18C). Our contingency (oil heat, oil generator) kicked in and we were fine, but many people were not.

After power was restored, people with air source heat pumps were still stuck, as the heat pumps don't function well at all at those temps, and heating up a house after it has cooled to a low temp is not what a air source heat pump is good at. These are not problems at all for an oil furnace.

Responding to it is. I'm hungry all the time, and I eat all the time, and I weigh the same as I did in high school. I also run 70 miles a week.

I don't think the show is necessarily THAT offensive, for what it's worth. Yes, the depiction of the child's physical appearance is stereotypical of the era (the child's name is problematic too), but the story being told is that of a young child from a hunting community who is learning to hunt by terrorizing insects with his spear until he runs across something (a lion with false teeth) that makes HIM the prey. The lion is just unlucky because he keeps running into the Minah bird whenever he's actually got the child in his grasp.

What's sad about the racist aspect of the show is that the depiction of a child at play in this show totally mirrors the behavior of children when they get a bug catching net. It's a Merrie Melodie, so there's no speech or inner monologue that is forced upon all children's shows day. Just a kid being a kid.
Arab Spring didn't start in Egypt, it spread to Egypt.

It might be that the conditions are just as ripe now as they were under Arab spring.
I think using "speak" as a metaphor is fine. I think it is bad to confuse it with a synthetic pseudo-conversation along the way to confusing it with an actual conversation.

Ouija boards are neat, but let's please keep straight what's going on when somebody uses them.
For <video> <audio>, we still miss attributes which define the video streaming navigation basic interface, namely the URL attributes to seek into the video/audio (and optionnaly more, for instance the http thumbnail interface for a video). That has a meaning for only BIG video/audio files.

A lean and simple browser would pass such information to an external media player, which then will be able to navigate thru the streamed video/audio.

For instance https://cdn.net/H4378uHuon/myvid.dash?t=timestamp. Timestamp in ms.

I guess the full length of the video/audio would have to be provided for the media player to show a consistent progression bar.
If your fields are supposed to be human-readable text, there might be a reason for them containing tabs, but not these control characters.

Indeed, sounds like a problem with the fan. My 3000sf house uses 1100W for the fan, and about 4000W for the heat pump. I expect converting to mini-splits would increase, not decrease my overall power usage.

I dunno about Yeltsin and the Houston store, but I do know this:

I went on a student tour of the USSR as a college student in 1991, arranged through my University (U of Alabama). I was getting a minor in Russian language, and it seemed like a fun trip. It actually got MORE fun because in the run-up to the trip (in spring, 91) there was some dissent in the USSR and many parents wouldn't let their kids go. In order to create a large enough trip, the University opened registration up to university-area retirees, so we ended up with a cohort of probably 30 folks. Half of us were under 25, and the other half over 65. It was the first time I'd ever really hung out with older people who weren't relatives, and that's really something we don't do enough of. Listen, if you have a chance to drink with WWII Hellcat pilots, do it.

Anyway.

Back then, you took certain American commodities with you to trade -- Levi's, Marlboros, etc. We met a pair of enterprising young black marketeers -- our age -- in Moscow, and hit off so well with them that they met us in (what was then) Leningrad for our last port of call. It was very cool, trying to converse in broken Russian and English, and generally being over the moon to have "friends" from the other side of the Cold War that defined both our countries up to then.

It went so well with Andrei and Volodya that, somehow, they finagled visas, and the next fall came to Tuscaloosa to visit us. Andrei immediately took up with my girlfriend's pal, but Volodya was shyer and stayed with Cassie and I for several weeks. And during that time -- and this would've been fall 91 into winter 92 -- obviously we did some shopping.

I remember vividly taking Volodya to the local supermarket, where we bought the sorts of cheap things students buy. Except obviously our budgets as upper-middle-class college kids allowed us things absurdly beyond the reach of anybody Volodya knew in Moscow -- like fresh fruit and vegetables in January. He was stunned, and we were kind of shamed by the plenty we had access to.

Then he saw the bananas. He really wanted bananas. He wouldn't ask for bananas. So I grabbed a bunch and put them in the basket.

"Are you rich?" No. I have a good student job. "Are your parents in government?" No. My dad's dead; Cassie's dad is a doctor in another state. "Anyone can shop here?" Absolutely.

I don't pretend for a moment the US was then, or is now, some kind of paradise. We fail our poor in material and constant ways. But those moments in the Bruno's with Volodya are something I'll never forget.
There's a lot of rose-tinted glasses in this thread and this is coming from someone who grew up using computers with these sorts of icons and designs. I appreciate the aesthetic, but I still think that many of them are too difficult to distinguish on their own, regardless of whether they're in full-colour skeuomorphic or a flat line icon. As another commenter pointed out, a lot of them are just variations of a computer / folder / paper with other icons stacked on them in different ways or sizes.

In any case, you would want a supporting label to really convey the meaning.

While I love to see these sorts of icons in personal sites and projects, the reality is that if I presented icons like these to a client for a SaaS app in 2023, I'd be sent back to the drawing board. No serious business wants their UI to look like it just stepped out of the 90's.
Ooh, that's very interesting. Our culture has such a problem with acknowledging death anyhow. We don't need to dig the hole deeper.

Not being snarky but why don't you just open the window for that?

If we want to give a planet like Mars -- less sunlight, slower spin, less gravity, different tides and magnetism, different tilt of its axis -- a habitable and sustainable earth-like environment, can that be done even if given an adequate supply of everything? To get earth-like atmosperic pressure, the atmosphere has to be taller on account of the reduced gravity. To get earth-like warmth, more greenhouse effect is required. So earth-like but not here is not nearly earth-identical. Problems? How quickly would an atmosphere like that leak away from the planet? What kind of weather might it have? How do you fabricate a biosphere for this unhinged sci-fi environment that will choose to grow into one that will both tolerate and sustain a large human presence? How hard is that? Boldly go, but do your homework first.
