This statistic to me seems like one of the most obvious cases of correlation not equaling causation. How about this hypothesis:

People who aren't good at (or aren't interested in) long term partnerships will tend to have more partners. Therefore such people may be more likely to divorce if they were to marry. People who tend to form long term partnerships won't tend to have many partners, because they have been busy being in long term partnerships instead.

Therefore having a high number of partners doesn't predict "relationship failure" but "relationship failure" predicts a high number of partners.

All this to say - if you're looking for a long term relationship, there may be reason to be cautious about folks who have not had stable long term relationships before, and as result had many partners as they may not be right for you. But it isn't because having lots of sex broke their pair-bonding mechanism.

I've had sex with more people (via swinging with my wife) since getting married than before, and I love my wife incredibly deeply, more and more each year that passes. Having more partners doesn't make me value her less, it has made me value her even more.

> these days people can grow into functional adults first, which might not happen until their late 30's.

Leaving the rest of the conversation aside, I find this perspective shocking. Becoming a "functional adult" cannot happen in late 30s, or we're all screwed.
Public libraries have no such duty, no. Outside of the largest systems, most aren't fit to do this in a way that would materially achieve the goal of preserving anything, either in terms of space, equipment, or expertise.

So generally speaking, providing "what the public wants" is the entire purpose of public libraries. Obviously librarians exercise a lot of discretion about what specifically to buy and make available in the library, but most have long since moved on from paternalistic notions of needing to provide access only to The Great Books.

> for those that think this is just some personal issue, you should look up divorce stats by number of previous sexual partners. There is a clear rise in divorce rate per increase in partners, and at about 7 it's 50%+.

Having read a lot of the attempts to gather stats on this, this is untrue. The results are mixed, with some showing an up-down relationship with a first peak high divorce rate at 1-2 prior sexual partners, then a drop, then another rise that passes the first peak at somewhere between 8-10 partners.

Also, most of the stats on that are weak because they are uncontrolled for other known correlates of divorce rates, including number of prior marriages.
For what is worth, I tried several times, I just wasted money, the results were completely useless.
Unicode still doesn't do loops, so no, but it's sightly less complex that human written language is, so it's very complex for sure.

Human language for sure was a awesome idea. We're finding out with Generative Large Language Multi-Modal Models that languages are a interesting building block for what we can call intelligence.

Yes -- a small but significant change. Sketch intent is one of the "difficult problems" of CAD, for me. Construction geometry is sometimes the right way forward for that kind of clarity, and array tools can help, but common-sense constraint tools are much more valuable.

> As long as a molecule has been approved before (through a New Drug Application), all follow-on drugs get approved through an ANDA (Abbreviated New Drug Application).

But there are shenanigans that can happen there. IIRC, to get a new generic approved, you have to demonstrate it's the same as the existing generics, which requires a supply of that drug. Years ago I read a company (it might have been one of Martin Shkreli's) that played a trick with that:

1. they manufactured a generic drug,

2. put extreme restrictions on its supply chain so no competitor could get ahold of enough of their product to do the equivalency testing, and

3. jacked up the price to an extreme degree.
Cosmic radiation would slowly cook the bodies over centuries, erasing any recoverable consciousness information still present, unless they are heavily shielded (Earth atmosphere provides ~10 ton/m^2 shielding for free), say, buried in a moon pole crater. People planning for immortality also would balk at the several % risk of rocket failure.

A compromise would be to create a facility in an Antarctic plateau, where even in total failure temperatures wouldn't go beyond -30C (or -50C in winter).
Merriam-Webster literally has a "vulgar" tag next to each definition. But conventional usage precedes dictionary usage, and it's shared convention that "shit" is a swear word, regardless of how a dictionary classifies things.

And it is absolutely not used the same way as "shoot". It carries a great deal of additional meaning. The entire purpose of swear words is to not be appropriate for polite conversation. Otherwise we wouldn't have them.

Because it's unpleasant to come across gratuitously offensive things like smelly bodily functions.

I agree with boomboomsubban above.

This a very common arrangement used by charities to enable a commercial process that funds the charity. For example, high street charity shops may be part of the commercial sub-entity so that their accounts are processed like a normal company, but 100% of their profits become donations to fund the parent charity's activities, called the charitable purpose(s).

If they didn't separate into a parent charity with a commercial sub-entity, all of the activities of the sub-entity would be subject to charity auditing, accounting and purpose rules, which in practice would make it difficult to run a shop competitively, or alternatively the parent could not have charity status and the shop profit would be subject to tax instead of all being directed to the audited, charitable purpose(s).

In Mozilla's case, if it was a tax-exempt non-profit without a commercial sub-entity giving 100% of profits to its parent, it would not be able to take Google funding as a trade in exchange for making Google the default search engine without losing its tax-exempt status, and it might not be able to pay its software engineers a competitive market rate, even if it needs to do that to compete. It would be able to take donations (not as a trade in exchange for something, just as a donation), but that wouldn't be enough to develop a competitive browser.

It's weird seeing all this content the past 3+ years about remote working as I've worked remotely for 20+ years. I'm not an authority on the matter (why would I be), just weird to see so much 'authority content' on it lately.

Maybe there are more granular and data-driven conclusions, I'm just someone who sees the benefit of communicating information over vast distances aka the web and appreciate that it's something we can do nowadays.

A message, SMS, phone call, a group call, a skype call or whatever can clear things up right quick.

> just because something is publicly available doesn't mean anyone can redistribute it

You're mistaking reselling content with providing access to it. By your logic, caching proxy servers would be illegal on the grounds of copyright. The physical act of downloading files necessarily creates copies of the data every step of the journey from the source server to you. There's a material difference between paying someone for a copy of some content and paying someone to fetch content for you on your behalf. Nothing about copyright law specifically requires the person physically acquiring the content is the one who ends up consuming it.

MDFourier – open-source Software To Compare Audio Signatures (2021)
At this point, I feel like the onus should be on IPv4-only clients to adapt to an IPv6 world, by enabling proxies and translators that enable them to access IPv6 sites until their support comes up to speed.

This could be done on the ISP/enterprise level, but it is more counterproductive to tell IPv6 adopters and promoters that we need to bend over backwards and hack in NAT and purchase/rent/lease public IPv4 addresses, when this is not our problem anymore.

I feel like the more juicy services that are IPv6-accessible-only, the more it will drive consumer demand, and will light a fire under people who are responsible to update the support and ensure that IPv6 works, even when IPv4 doesn't.

Oh boy.

I moved to DC about a year ago. I have nothing against automatic traffic cameras. I've seen them used to great effect in NYC, where I'm natively from, to reduce speeding incidents in sensitive areas like high-traffic mixed use zones, school zones, etc.

The traffic cameras in DC are not that. They're primarily placed at chokepoints that seem intended to collect speeding fines. Some of the most prominent speed cameras are placed on major arterial throughput roads/ that turn into highways, which are either not connected to the sidewalk at all, or have no major foot traffic concerns.

In one particularly blatant location, leading right up to US-50, a major road, which has a nominal speed limit of 45, has a speed camera set to 25 mph dead in the middle, over a bridge, which is largely inaccessible to foot traffic. In the hundreds of feet leading up to the camera, the posted speed limit get progressively lower, from 45, to 30, to 30, until settling at 25 where the camera is, and then progressively raises again.

The residents have learned the game, and now this major arterial road is a nonstop traffic jam in the mile or so leading up, as people slow to a crawl to avoid the fines.

DC absolutely has some aggressive and awful drivers. But the real root cause are things like intensely poor city planning -- the criss crossing grid of exceedingly narrow streets meant to look pretty on a map and picturesque during sunset basically is an absolute worst case for gridlock. They've also done an exceedingly poor job of retrofitting modern amenities like bike lanes onto those streets, where premium space is taken up by triple-wide, treelined sidewalks, yet cars do not have room to navigate major arterial streets, and a single taxi letting out a passenger means congestion and danger to everyone around them.

And then you have what is probably the least engaged police force. Traffic cops can be seen casually parked and playing on their phone for hours on end, often parked illegally themselves, while drivers around them brazenly break the law, knowing there's nothing approaching real patrols or enforcement.

The nice thing about NAT64 is you only NAT when you're talking to a v4 only client, otherwise you still have pure v6. This leaves no hacks to remove for a pure IPv6 experience it just means you can have single stacked IPv6 devices instead of needing to dual stack or wait for the entire rest of the world to also configure IPv6 too.

I.e. it allows you to push IPv4 to your internet edge only in a way that doesn't downgrade anything about actual IPv6 capable connections. For a single server that probably does seem pretty silly but once you have multiple it can make more sense.

When they first got started, booking a cab was:

1. Pick a cab company, look up phone number.
2. Phone, usually get a dispatcher but sometimes busy signal.
3. Tell them where you are.
4. Get very loose estimate on pickup time.
5. Wait with no updates.
6. Most of the time cab comes, if it doesn’t, GOTO step 1 by phoning back or trying another company.

Compared to
1. Open app.
2. Hit button.
3. “Real time” updates on car location and estimated time

I don’t like the gig economy model and I don’t use Uber and still use cabs, but I can see the appeal.
The TV personality withdraw money from his Coutts account and fell below the minimum balance requirements needed for an account with this private bank

From what I've seen on the news, the account balance issue was an excuse that Coutts came up with later, after it was revealed that he had his account closed because "his views do not align with ours" or something similar. There was a leaked email or memo or something with that information.

Edit:

According to what the Telegraph says are minutes of a meeting of Coutts' wealth reputational risk committee held on November 17 2022, they read: "The committee did not think continuing to bank NF [Nigel Farage] was compatible with Coutts given his publicly-stated views that were at odds with our position as an inclusive organisation.
"This was not a political decision but one centred around inclusivity and purpose."
He also said there was a perception that he was regarded as "racist and xenophobic", which he called an "appalling slur".
