I can't imagine there is. Many on the right will literally accuse Fox News, Newsmax, and OAN of policial bias if a single story doesn't lean the way they feel it should.
I don't understand how this is possible, since it was definitely in the VHS release. Maybe he meant the original master of the scene was missing? Again, it was in the VHS release, and on the DVD release that we own, so it was not like the scene was truly missing.

As for which is shown on Disney+, given that streaming generally has to pick one version, I can see the argument for going with the theatrical release or the director's cut, or even going Disney Vault style and swapping back and forth somewhat randomly, which is what they appear to be doing.
No delays (lower risk), compliance with various certifications, lower cost. Most people wouldn't buy the service though, which is why for most people it is completely free.

More then that, air-to-air missiles generally are designed to blow a load of metal shrapnel through whatever they "hit": so there's a problem where if you're fleeing from a missile and it explodes behind you, even though it "missed" the payload can still hit the plane it was chasing if the plane doesn't change trajectory.

Good setup and playability are huge. I got my kid a "beach and camping fiddle" -- this is not the instrument you use at recitals, this is the instrument you take for playing tunes around the campfire and isn't going to be materially damaged by a beer spill. Good strings, lower the nut for playability, carve the bridge and set the sound post properly, and you end up with a decent fiddle. Doesn't sound like the "good" instrument, but is still fun to play and sounds good enough for some fun.

The search feature is great from what I can tell!

I tried an obscure(?) Japanese rock band "9 Ball" and they were extremely high on the search results. I can't even find the album by using Apple Music.

Searching for 9 Ball in Maroofy shows them in spots 2-6, easily: https://maroofy.com/songs/185487468

When I try to search for the same band in Apple Music, I get this jumbled mess of results: https://music.apple.com/us/search?term=9%20ball

Even searching for a specific song of the band, the correct artist is 5th on the list: https://music.apple.com/us/search?term=9%20ball%2024%20hours and doesn't even link to any of their songs: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/9-ball/28599994

I literally cannot use Apple Music search to get to the page to buy Sound Seeds by 9 Ball, without going through Maroofy first. I had thought Apple removed that album years ago due to some kind of licensing issue. Strangley enough, even though there is an option to "Buy for $7.99" clicking on the button in Apple Music doesn't seem to initate any kind of prompt. Maybe this is old data, but the previews are still available? Who knows. Either way, the search for that information was excellent.
> But software is not "tech". It is the explicit expression and projection of cultural objectives and values onto a particular type of tech. You can take the exact precise hardware we have today and reprogram a million different worlds on it, some better, some worse.

But all of them with computing as a cultural artifact of some kind — and certainly not a "neutral" one. I've basically come to think of the idea of "general purpose computing" as basically a trojan horse for the naive "tech is neutral" POV. "Making things computable faster" is not a "neutral" change of the universe, it's a step in a specific direction, it defines the boundaries of a particular future cone at the exception of many others.

My startup idea, that if often laughed out of the room, it to develop a news site that separates events from the commentary on those events.

On the left hand side of the page is a list of "testimony" of events. Who said what happened and when, along with any supporting evidence such as photos or video. (Without a journalist interpreting or crafting a story)

On the right hand side of the page is commentary from interesting folks from both the left and right. (Pulling together the testimony, looking for insight, greater meaning, or identifying trends. )

Ostensibly the Generation 2 Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb munitions will do something like this - i.e. they're capable of independently acquiring targets, and then de-conflict the target acquisitions to ensure they don't all track on the same one.

Basically the idea being that you fire a whole lot of them at the enemy trench somewhere over there, and on terminal approach they independently assign themselves to specific interesting looking targets.
You start with a semi-known quote-premise, but then seem to pour subtle-ish shade on? Correct me if wrong!

Even today there are plenty of counter-examples, cultures & places where liberal & progressive is not the main motion. The pendulum swings many ways, back & forth. Just my jam here, ut generally I do tend to think counter-reactionary forces have a general bad time at the back-forth, exist mainly as a not-yet-fulfilled potential of the trying; but certainly that is a vast generalization of many complex & indeed sometimes outright wrong potentials.

It's almost unfair to these stochastic parrots that so much right wing media is infected with a vicious angry anti-outsider rage. That AI understands so much Newt-Gringrich-and-latter rightwingism is offensive isnt an indictment of AI or it's trainers, it's a clear indictment of what stochastic parrots can find that doesnt make itself look like a Tay AI nazi bot. The input material is detected as corrupt. With often enough correctness! It will take a much much more advance AI to detect which of these inputs are actively truly bad, and which are only awful by association.

Social commentary & critiques are way harder. They are tinged by dark impulses almost uniformly. Sometimes, sometimes they are Emma Goldmam class critiques, true pinings for more, for better, doubt couched in hope. But AI can rarely detect & discern. The general un-liberal mindset has yet to equivocate a clear & positive pro-human mature for itself, has yet to make distinctions our primitive AI can infer/discern between mini Tay nazi bot & the actually genuinely hopeful non-toxic pro-social social-commentary that even I would say conservatism has somewhere someplace within it. But the dumb stociastic parrots have a heckuva-time discriminating between. It's Lena Forsen pictures in an emerging world: is this a picture of smut? Maybe. That- not cant- but very likely aint good.
I work in the steel industry so I can provide some background.

An Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) uses electricity and solid feed such as scrap metal and/or DRI (Directly Reduced Iron Briquettes) to produce Steel. The electrical arcs basically melt the solid feed producing liquid steel.

Note that an Arc Furnace needs highly metallic feed, Iron Ore which you dig up from the ground is an oxide (i.e. it is not metallic) it needs to be chemically reduced. You cannot feed ore directly into an Arc Furnace to produce steel. Arc Furnaces can recycle steel scrap into new steel but they are not suited to making virgin steel.

The most common way of producing virgin steel from Iron Ore is through what is known as an integrated steel plant which combines two processes

1. A Blast Furnace - which uses chemical reduction to produce molten liquid Iron.

2. A Basic Oxygen Furnace (also known as an LD converter) which injects oxygen at supersonic speed into the liquid Blast Furnace iron to remove impurities such as Carbon and Phosphorus. This produces liquid steel at the end of the process

Blast Furnaces use Carbon (Typically the carbon comes in form of coke, which is basically highly refined coal) for the chemical reduction of iron ore. CO2 is a byproduct of this reaction.

There are some alternates to a Blast Furnace Such as DRI (which uses a gas such as Natural Gas rather than Coke).

It is possible to chemically reduce Iron Ore using Hydrogen rather than Carbon (Thus avoiding CO2 as a byproduct) but for a variety of complicated technical reasons it is not as simple as just swapping the coke in a blast furnace one for one with hydrogen.

Hydrogen is widely seen within the industry as being the future of steelmaking, there is massive ongoing effort currently underway to develop capability etc the industry is very much going through a transitional period at the moment. I know of one plant in Sweden which is doing some pretty cutting edge work in this area currently.

All of that is advertising.

Maybe I misinterpreted the meaning.

Spoilers: they won't. Nobody can build enough batteries to meet demand. The capacity still just isn't there. Which means those teaser "esitmated starting around" MSRPs will never be the price someone ends up paying at a dealer for the forseeable future.
Appreciate you sticking up for me, but I didn't interpret the parent's comment as a dig. Just an attempt to add some additional context to the "debate", which is always welcome.

As for what side I am on - you're right that I am excited about hydrogen as an energy storage medium due to its high energy density, and am in favor of developing the technology further. The challenges are real, and I don't know if it will ever be practical for powering personal transportation (though I wouldn't rule it out either), but there are many other applications beyond just cars where that energy density could prove useful.

I do find it disheartening that battery vs. hydrogen has become some sort of holy war instead of viewing them as two complementary technologies.
I disagree. The reason I won't buy a Mac is because I've had bad luck with them.

Of course, it needs to be constitutional for it to work, a complete ban of privacy. There can't be any entity that is priviledged over that because that would be terrible. Keep in mind that "human rights" is a thing we invented (or those people in power invented) and also a thing we can change, my point is that the human right of privacy really only actually benefits those in power more than the common person (who is going to be subjected to the violation of their privacy anyway) and by making privacy illegal constitutionally is really going to level the playing field.
Yeah, they mean the original masters (so they could add it back in at high quality in future releases).

They are all specific things that this is not, but it’s still strange that there’s no mention of anything like these methods in the article.

Unlike the ”traditional” (about 200 years old) model of a botanical garden, they have their basis in ecological principles and observation of natural systems. If the goal here is conservation and adaptation to climate change, that’s a much smarter way to go about things than the artificial everything-in-it’s-ordained-place overseen by the head gardener model which is more a reflection of British sensibilities at the height of the Empire than anything found in nature. And the lack of which these elderly nimbys seem to be decrying. It’s hilarious.
Any fact check done right includes links to primary sources. Or at least links to multiple reputable sources. If you do that, you can be forgiven the occasional wrong fact check. And interesting phenomenon is that basically all fact checks are bashed as lefty bias. Its actually hard to find fact checks from right leaning sources. Its almost like they know their audience isn't really that interested in facts.

It's actually still an LCD. The manufacturers calling them "LED monitors" is a scam, they just changed out the backlight from CCFL to LED, and it has little to no different characteristics, visually. They actually made billions of dollars from that scam (as in, people straight up buy it thinking it solves viewing angle shift) and nobody noticed, it's pretty funny.
I dunno, why did they? I think if you are concerned about it and I'm not, you are probably the one that needs to explain.

Maybe they are planning to drop an insignificant number of small munitions on random locations in the US or something.

Seems like the recommendations are somewhat hit or miss so far. I would suggest finding a way to say why it recommended a particular song. I know that this is already common, but maybe you could come up with a new spin on it.

Also, other comments have suggested that this was trained on 120MM of the audio previews instead of the full songs. That might explain why the recommendations seem a little off for some people.

> Sooo, so for extreme clarity and simplicity, let's break this issue down to about the 2nd grade:

and you went to at least the high school level!!!

> 3 - Not quite sure where to start with this. see (1) and (2) above.

Moving up to, say, the high school level where the students can drive a car and might have an after school job to pay for the gas, if everyone who, say, wanted $2 a gallon gas again would just write their Representative and two Senators, then ... something would happen!! Congress, i.e., a MAJORITY in Congress, has a LOT of power. Wanting $2 a gallon of gas again sounds to me like a MAJORITY!! If 90+% of the voters would write about gas prices, or grocery prices, or whatever, then, yup, things would happen. That's my explanation of Step 3 -- not complicated or weak, both simple and strong, voters just WRITE.

I wrote: Each Rep/Sen has a Web site with features that make sending an email really easy. I got back messages, canned from my Senators and a personal one from my Rep. Didn't notice much change in grocery prices yet!! For Step 3, my guess is that simple can be strong and actually work.

But, I don't know why Step 3 seems not to work. I would have thought, guessed, bet, going back to some of the wars, economic situations, inflation, interest rates, etc. people would be packed together on the Mall from Congress (the Capitol building) to the Washington Monument protesting. But, nope, doesn't/didn't happen, not very densely "packed".

For responding to the attack on Pearl Harbor, it seems that there was a strong majority right away, and it was a big change -- draft, blood, money, war production, ships, planes, supplies, The Bomb, having a LOT of women in factories, ..., and all from just that one attack.

Soooo, we have some data: Gas prices, inflation, interest rates, massive violation of immigration laws, ... don't quickly yield a majority but bombing Pearl Harbor did. Soooo, the necessary condition for a majority is somewhere between those two!!!

Soooo, for Step 3, can still keep it simple: When enough people are angry enough, they WILL complain enough, and then things WILL change.

It takes vastly more effort to build an open world that can inter operate with many others.

Not only do you have to align on compatibility, you have less freedom to build features that aren’t available elsewhere. And if you did and it is very compelling the other worlds will have fewer users to the point where you’re the last one standing anyway.

And this is just on the cost side. There are many advantages on the value side.

It seems more rational to juts build something that you think is good and not care to be compatible.

The thing is, people don't realize this argument fully. If you are to accept that life could take countless forms, most which we could never recognize or begin to understand, then it's quite possible rocks are lifeforms, as we don't recognize them as life now nor understand how they could be living. Since most people seemingly don't like the argument that rocks are living, then this shows that this argument (along with others) is flawed with very definition that they want "life" to have.

Perhaps not an explosive self-destruct (flying explosives over a foreign country would be brazen indeed), but perhaps something electronic that scuttles the interesting equipment.
