I remember one RMS lecture that made me think. He pointed out that the so-called "intellectual property" doesn't really exist. What exists are certain laws, such as patents, copyright, trademarks and so on. Each of these recognizes the benefit to society of temporary restriction of freedom of others to use the ideas that were invented/transmitted by others.
No, and it isn't normal at all.

Notice that this has literally led to the expulsion of diplomats, or, I suppose, spies sent out under diplomatic cover.

That's extremely unusual between allies. Spying on allies, trying to bribe or blackmail their personnel etc., is not normal. It makes you a security threat, and making oneself a security threat isn't really compatible with being allies.

Presumably this is why there is now this very public declaring of diplomats persona non grata-- both to remove the people in question and to signal that what has been done isn't okay. Seen another way-- normally, the person who becomes persona non grata is a Russian.
I fully second this sentiment, but seems more like a dream... And to make the matters far more difficult, there are updates that add new features! Also, some apps claim to do something but only provide a half-working solution. Ultimately, sometimes it all boils down to install (ideally, using distrobox) and try yourself some of the top candidates. And repeat with some frequency that correlate to how important such software piece is to you...
This is a very good article. The core is that "productivity" is extremely hard to measure for most white-collar jobs, or indeed anything that isn't piecework or an assembly line. Even if you can assign a number to annual or monthly productivity (salespeople have monthly targets), you can't assign it to individual minutes of the day.

So people end up producing the appearance of productivity instead. Often at the expense of actual, unmeasured productivity.

Sending the spies back instead of keeping and torturing them generally makes the most sense because you can get more in return for sending them back than torturing them. If you torture them what do you get? Sadistic satisfaction and maybe some useless information about their intentions and some of their colleagues, etc. You also get even worse relations with the US government which might escalate in a generally destructive way. Your own spies in the US might be tortured in retribution, or the US might release some dirt on the Spanish government to punish them, might tell the world that Spain tortures spies to harm the global perception of Spain, etc.

But if you send them back unharmed, you instead get the cooperation of the US government in the investigation, a public apology from them which is good for public sentiment, and maybe various other concessions behind the scenes.
Unity was never FOSS. Nor was Figma, to my knowledge
One additional reason is that the projections of a Gaussian are also Gaussian (more generally any linear transform of a Gaussian is Gaussian). So if you have the parameters of a 3D Gaussian ellipsoid and a viewing angle, you can quite easily get the parameters of the corresponding 2D ellipse. So the ray marching algorithm turns into just blending a stack of 2D ellipses. For many other non Gaussian functions projection is trickier.

Starbucks Has Lost $11B Globally from Boycotts over Israel-Palestine Conflict
That (taken out of context quote) was true during the Cold War because of the cynical realpolitik that Kissinger himself was a proponent of. For example he was against the US supporting Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur war. That would likely have led to Israel being wiped out but not before launching nuclear missiles at Arab states and the Eastern European Soviet/Warsaw pact states that were supporting and arming the Arab states. Knowing Kissinger that was most likely his goal; lose Israel but turn every major industrial center in the Soviet Union and Warsaw pact into nuclear wasteland.
Use the full quote, don't be misleading.

"Word should be gotten to Nixon that if Thieu meets the same fate as Diem, the word will go out to the nations of the world that it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.”

Say one counterfeits a hundred dollar bill perfectly. Does he steal? Say he is able to do this in large quantities. Does he steal? You still have you hundred dollar bill. No loss to you right? Wrong. Your money’s worth is lessened by the counterfeiting, the copying. That is what they mean by stealing: you are decreasing the value of their products by providing identical copies outside of their control.

As I said it before, you should know by now that the "free" in Free Palestine does not, and has never, meant "freedom". That is a Western expectation imposed on the phrase. Determining what it actually means, I will leave as an exercise for the reader. As research materials, I refer you to the writings, life and times of Mohammed Amin al-Husseini who was the architect and sire of the Free Palestine movement. Note particularly the memorandum of understanding he signed on behalf of Palestians with the Nazis. I also refer you to the Hamas charter (both versions 1.0 and 2.0) (Hamas enjoys an 85% approval rating, by the way).

We know "free" does not mean "freedom" in the Western understanding of that phrase, because sovereignty has been proffered many times in 75 years. It is not what Palestinians want. You need to listen to Palestinians, not Westerners westsplaining. And then, when you are really clear on what they mean by "free", you must bravely make your own moral evaluation of whether the "free" they actually mean is something you can support. Only then, and I mean this honestly, will you be able to really understand the dynamic going on over there. Only when you understand what Palestinians, by their own words, want, will you be an effective advocate for peace and prosperity in the region.

I tried Nebula's kit but refunded after two attempts. They took on average 3 months to attempt to sequence my sample (due to sample batching) and they both failed. It costs me a fair bit to send the sample to Georgia (US) every time so the cost and wait times were too much.

It's a matter of luck whether your sequencing fails though so I will try again when they offer truly anonymous sequencing (my last attempts were eponymous).

Their website has been saying for at least two years that Anonymous Sequencing is coming. So take their product launch timeline with a grain of salt. In any case true anonymity and the price of 175usd are really impressive if they iron out the logistics.

The problem you are describing is more like a social problem, and applies to many other aspects as well.

Usually people know the consequences of their actions.
If they don't use Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or any other "currently" popular social platform, there is always risk that you isolate yourself from the part of group which prefers the former.

Is that one person important enough that other group members ditch the other groups?

Here comes the reason why Meta, Discord or any other social platform with enough user base is highly valuable. Social pressure keeps users on their platforms.

Apple is doing the same with iMessage in hopes of pushing device sales. But it is still messaging service. It does not forbid you using regular cellural standards.

The question is that are the set defaults same as known decision? Not for everyone, but I don't think that conversation splitting is good enough argument here to reason why making business in this case would be good decision.
A single unit would correspond to a N-1 case when doing a transmission system study. There are ways of automating steady state analysis for this case to do a full sweep across the nearby system (either looking at k hops away, all parts in a zone (where a zone has a specific meaning in this context), or using a utility provided set of assets for the analysis). This pretty much consists of running a load flow for each individual case and compiling the results while making sure they are valid (convergence, device behavior, etc).

This is only the steady state analysis, but there's also dynamics done when looking at specific generators also to look at a generator's response to fluctuations in voltage and frequency to ensure stability within certain operating conditions (weakening of the grid, rapid change in voltage or freq).

If they were wishy washy they were probably limited to doing distribution where you are assuming a single strong source (swing bus) at the substation and it's not your responsibility to think too much about adjusting the system behavior based off of changes in transmission (usually)
I did the same, sans the cash payment. I REALLY wanted my DNA sequenced but they were the only consumer option at the time. Anonymous sequencing is the way to go. There's just too much opportunity for abuse or incompetence around my most private data.

Besides the issue of whether it really will be an RPG, procedural generation has a long history in RPGs -- the Elder Scrolls series traditionally had procedurally generated dungeons. And of course many people's first exposure to procedural generation is playing Rogue or the many games inspired by it ("roguelikes").
I can't do the nuances justice here for sure. But to make a long story short:

PLCs replace relay circuits for Industrial Electrical technicians (hence: Ladder). And make no mistake: relay circuits are important, and is something they are very adept at!

However, this doesn't imply that they are automatically able to write or debug regular Python or C code or what have you.

PS. If you let a PLC programmer at any language, they'll find a way to do ladder logic. Illustrative example (combining some features I've seen in textbooks and IRL, formatting included):

if Tank_Level_Reached == True and EF132121 == False and Ready_To_Start == True and Finished == False and Belt == Not_Ready and Stage == 5 and Position_Left_Arm == Up :
move_left = True
move_right = False

if Tank_Level_Reached == True and EF132121 == False and Ready_To_Start == True and Finished == False and Belt == Not_Ready and Stage == 5 and Position_Left_Arm == Down:
move_left = False
move_right = True

if Tank_Level_Reached == True and EF132121 == False and Ready_To_Start == False and Finished == False and Belt == Not_Ready and Stage == 5 and (Position_Left_Arm == Down or Position_Left_Arm == Up):
move_left = False
move_right = False

etc ...

I agree with the approach of augment-not-replace human agents. For example there’s a contact center management company using Langroid[1] (the Multi-Agent LLM framework from ex-CMU/UW-Madison researchers) in exactly this way: they use a Langroid RAG agent to come up with top 3 possible answers, and the human agent then picks a good one. Interestingly, they index past successful conversations of experienced human agents, and the Langroid agent’s suggestions are informed from these as well as company docs.

I don't think the three points you made are a consequence of speed limits or making cars inconvenient. They are a consequence of city planning and making public transit and bicycle transit convenient.

> Three out of every four desk workers report working in the 3 to 6pm timeframe, but of those, only one in four consider these hours highly productive.

It’s nice to see some data on this. A lot of people talk about a 4-day workweek, but personally I think a 6-hour work day would be better.

At least in white-collar jobs, I think most people could fit the same amount of productivity into fewer (focused) hours.

Plus a day that’s roughly 9-3 instead of 9-5 would have the benefit of being aligned with school schedules (at least here in the US) and make things easier for working parents.

Let me give an analogy:

We have an almost perfect understanding of transistors. If you hand me a Qualcomm mobile chipset in a black box, I'll have little or no understanding of how that allows me to make phone calls. Back in the day, I understood the x86 instruction set very well. However, if you gave me the binary of a video game, I'd have no idea how it worked. Neuroscientists understand the mathematics of how neurons work, imperfectly (but pretty well). For the sake of argument, we can pretend the models are perfect. We understand the neural wiring of simple organisms perfectly. We still have very little idea of how the human brain works.

The algorithms in deep learning are evolved and have billions of parameters. We understand the general topology, and the math of individual neurons, but we have absolutely no idea how the things work as a system. Anyone who tells you they do is lying (very likely with no ill intent; they're probably deluding themselves as well).

The people doing deep learning are, by and large, not brilliant mathematicians, of the type who did earlier AI. The math is simple compared to most of the convex optimization algorithms which came before (and could probably be made much better if those were applied). Even at the human level, a lot of work in deep learning is

- randomly tweaking parameters, topologies, and algorithms

- developing intuition (NOT theory) for which ones work better, and

- bullshitting explanations for why that might be (which would, at best, pass for hypothesis in any scientific process)

It's hard for me to emphasize how little we know about how or why these things work. We just set up a general framing which evolves well, and evolved it. An analogy would be if we set up a random number generator to write a piece of code, ran it 10^10^10 times, and picked the result which made the best wavelet transforms. We'd have no clue how it works. The only difference is (1) we have algorithms which are more tractable than randomly picking algorithms (2) we set up neural networks which evolve better than code, largely by virtue of being continuous rather than discrete.
> Buildings and temporary displacement inside the Strip aren't interesting - some Gulf states will cover reconstruction, and the royal houses will have a few less yachts.

Well, the only way to claim something absolutely idiotic like that is to have absolutely no clue:

During the fifty days of Operation Protective Edge in the summer of 2014, Israel bombed and shelled the Gaza Strip, causing massive damage to civilian infrastructure and homes. About 18,000 residential units were either completely destroyed or heavily damaged, leaving more than 100,000 Palestinians – some 17,000 families – homeless. [...] Today, more than four years later, about 20% of the homes are still unusable and some 2,300 families – about 13,000 people – remain homeless. Some 1,600 of these families had been receiving rent subsidies from UNRWA at rates ranging from 200 to 250 USD per month, depending on the size of the family. In July 2018, however, following US funding cuts, UNRWA was forced to halt financial assistance, leaving families out in the cold. Families that are still renting are having trouble making payments.

https://www.btselem.org/gaza_strip/20190303_13000_gazans_hom...

The Gulf states you think are generous have changed their allegiances and are now Israel's friends. The current Israeli government has radicalized even further since 2014 and revel in the suffering of Palestinians and will likely prevent any future reconstruction efforts.

The number of refugees from Ukraine is 6.3 million or 14% with up to 30% of its infrastructure damaged. This is less destruction in TWO YEARS than Israel has inflicted in 60 DAYS.

The W4 founders are the project founders and many of the top contributors to Godot Engine. Godot has always done what for me is the right thing for the continued open source nature of the project, including limiting any organisation's members on the leadership committee, assigning trademark rights to a foundation and not naming their company Godot Engine, LLC (unlike, say, Gitea).

So structurally it's the safest open source project against a future source available pivot, but there are some concerns such as the separation of the Godot foundation from it's parent organisation or a "de facto control" fork.

I think on the other hand, they do have a more clear selling point vs do it yourself on the open source projects. For IP reasons, console manufacturers don't permit the console integration part to be open source, so that's the bit that W4 has that the open source project can never compete with (though other companies building on the open source project could of course build their own).
I would assume so, it's the same on my Sigma fp L.
