You've probably heard of the ceramic tiles on the Space Shuttle and how they had to inspect each one. And the story about the Soviets using a pencil instead of the US "space pen".

Somewhere I read about an early space capsule that had ablative shielding made of hardwood, oak or something several inches thick. "Carbon fiber composite", right? The way I remember it, it was said to work well because the wood was dense and didn't just burn up; instead it slowly carbonized. If you've ever made a fire with a large log, it makes sense. It has to get really hot to catch, and then it lasts a long time.

But I remember it as being attributed to the USSR, and when I search the internet now, I get hits saying it was a story about the Chinese space program that might be apocryphal.
I thought you were going to say the Church of, capital s, Science.
In the demo video they're running Chrome using the --no-sandbox flag. Can this be exploited without that option? I can't actually test this myself at the moment, because the vulnerability only works on x86_64 machines.
According to the article, a small majority of "nones" believe in God or gods.

How often did they need repair after most of the circuitry went solid-state? I have a small CRT TV that was manufactured in 1998 and it still works perfectly. So does my slightly larger LCD TV manufactured in 2006. My parents' CRT TV from 1989 was replaced in 2010 by an LCD TV but it still worked too. I have never personally encountered a TV that stopped working.
> While it's true that there are U.S. states where it's illegal

Its over 2/3rds of states and includes most major ones have laws against commercial kickbacks. Even in states that aren't you could be charged with fraud under state law.

> Otherwise there's almost no scenario where you can't say "we're friends and they gave me a gift, I chose their company for the contract because I thought they were the best choice."

This argument is silly. It applies equally to federal laws that are frequently used to prosecute kickbacks for government employees, contractors and subcontractors. There are plenty of ways to charge someone with kickbacks besides idiotically labeled receipts.

Just because you think you can get away with something because it is hard to prove, doesn't make that activity legal, let alone moral/ethical.
ROTJ is not bad in my book - not as good sure, but I like it.
It just means homeless, and it's just the newest entry on the "euphemism treadmill".

"Homeless" has a kind of stigma to it (maybe you picture a dirty bum on the street), while "unhoused" doesn't because it's so new. It simply sounds like a category of analysis devoid of emotional judgment. (Like maybe they're unhoused because a hurricane just blew down their house, not because they don't have a job.)

If "unhoused" comes to replace "homeless", I'm sure we'll get another term to replace it, once "unhoused" has acquired the same stigma that "homeless" does now.

Though I've got to say that "unhoused" is a particularly uncreative term! Essentially a literal synonym of "homeless". It's like they didn't try at all this time...
I'd buy a few units of that :)
I was curious of that too. Technically it should be possible to read the executable file name (via `GetModuleFileName`, because you don't necessarily have `argv`) and pick the resolution accordingly. But that would take at least 30 more bytes in my wild guess...
Israel occupies Gaza. If you're looking for me to defend Israel with respect to Gaza and the West Bank, you're barking up the wrong tree. But international law doesn't have much to say about the situation, because Israel won both territories about as "fairly and squarely" as you can say exists under international law, way back in 1967 --- they even offered Gaza back to Egypt, which refused, for cynical reasons.

Further: your logic doesn't cohere. Were Israel to blockade international shipping lanes, countries would declare war against them, as Israel did when Egypt blockaded the Tiran Straits. The discussion wouldn't be "can Israel do this"; it would be "has Israel provoked a war with another seafaring country", the way Ansar Allah has.

What you can't do is supply an analysis like "since Israel blockaded Gaza, Ansar Allah can blockade the Red Sea". Well, they can do that, but then the UK and the US will be applauded by the Security Council when they aerosolize Ansar Allah with cruise missiles.

You have repeatedly defended the actions of Ansar Allah in this discussion, most importantly by accepting their explanations at face value despite a (recent!) historic context that gives the lie to all of them, pretty bluntly and objectively. I understand you'd rather just focus on making a case against Israel, and I get why, but the reason you're conversing with me on this thread and not a supporter of Israel is that I'm not prepared to let sail by the idea that the Houthis are a legitimate actor. They are precisely the opposite of that.
I wonder what happened at the FAA to make them not so scared of their own shadow? Has the public been voicing their concerns to elected officials that someone feels pressure? Is someone at the FAA looking at the future and realizing they can make a name for themselves? Did someone at Boeing have an affair with an FAA official's spouse? Like really, as feckless as the FAA has been with regard to Boeing, why now?
I forget who said this or exactly what they said, but someone has pointed out that the more research humans conduct the more we find that animals and even plants are more complex, more intelligent and more sophisticated than we thought. It is worth keeping this in mind the next time someone tells you a small creature (perhaps a crustacean) cannot feel or think or do something that would mean we ought to be less cruel towards them.
The remark about who eats the beer is about the fact baby boomer generation is in full swing retirement wave. As they retire they switch to fixed income and as they age, they will consume less beef, because their bodies won't keep up.

Basically if demographics hold, then the US will see a drop in beef consumption in 5 years and in part, more water conservation lol
I love the "underwater part of the iceberg" of life that's implied by that level of knowledge summarised "above the water".

There is a very limited number of things an individual can get deeply into.
There are plot points that would naturally happen during sex. For example, a character accidentally blurting out a secret in a moment of passion. Or using the other person's lust-filled single-minded focus to distract, deceive, or betray them in the heat of the moment.

Or you might want to show a different side of a character that only comes out occasionally. Maybe the character is normally reserved but becomes wild during sex. Or they are normally distant but become intimate during sex.

My point is that sex scenes are not always just crowd-pleasing filler that is extraneous to the rest of the movie. A good writer and/or director could probably make pretty much any point without explicitly showing sex, but why not just do it while explicitly showing sex? Sex is a part of real human life after all, so it would be strange if the only movies that showed sex were pornos.
I had a pet jumper in my first apartment. He would follow me and my wife from room to room, wave at us, and sit by the sink when he was thirsty. We gave him water and called him Steve.

I thought Bloodhounds (K-drama on Netflix) had some of the best fight scenes I'd seen in years. I'm not a big k-drama or even drama person but I came for the fights and ended up liking the characters. There's a weird character write-off towards the end because apparently the actress had a DUI accident and so they took her off the show, but otherwise it's a pretty solid show.

Oh, I thought this was riffing on the "shakespeare, in the original klingon" line.
if you couldn't compete on price, consumers would be more discerning. especially for the things that cost the most, they'd favor the company that could sell trust and quality. I suspect this is why people remember the golden age of flight (cost a lot, airlines charge about the same) and appliances (both companies had about the same costs, and appliances cost a lot more).
You can record Medication as an Medication event type or a Veterinary event type.

For required tests - you can create a custom Event Type called 'Coggins' and record that. Or there is a genetic test result section under the horse that you can record info.

You can also upload document for the tests you are taking.

There is also a Medication Task List feature. If you have a lot of horses that need meds - this allows you to check them off each day as they are done.

I developed this feature earlier this month but haven't publicised it yet as it is still being tested by the user who requested it.

It’s a shame the totally flat ones are so much more prone to geometry issues over time, though it’s an inevitability for all types.

I had a 20” Sony PVM for a while for retro games and still don’t think any display I’ll ever own will match it for that specific purpose. Ended up selling it on because it was starting to have geometry issues itself, and I don’t have the ability to maintain it nor know anyone who does—plus it was hard to find a good space for it anywhere I’d actually want to play games. I do miss it though.
I think he simply meant that Java was marketed and therefore prospered as a counter to Microsoft's dominance more generally. You're right that .Net (and the CLR) came later in the story ...as a counter to Java.

> The (summary) message seems to be: Don't use Opera because "The company is chasing trends and extracting the most money possible from its declining users".

Your summary is dumb. Here's why, and I quote from the article you claim to summarize:

> Hindenburg alleged that when the Opera browser continued losing users (due to competition from Google and Apple), the company shifted gears to building mobile apps that provided predatory short-term loans. The interest rates on those loans ranged from 365-876% per year, and loan terms from 7-29 days. Opera also falsely advertised longer loan terms and lower interest rates in the app descriptions, because the Google Play Store had rules against predatory loan services.

> The loan apps specifically targeted customers in Kenya, India, and Nigeria.

Indeed, companies definitely need to figure this out. People are pirating air all over the place!

Breathing air that was cleaned by someone's intellectual property (without a royalty payment and code to ensure their lungs only process it according to the license) is theft. Unless we DRM it, the incentive to clean the air will be gone and nobody will do it!

I don't think you're bored with fight scenes because of the execution of the fight scenes, wires or not, it's because most of the time they don't have any emotional resonance or meaning to the movie. Most of the time it's just spectacle/filler.

Good fight scenes should have high stakes, or have you invested in who wins or loses for some reason, not just munching popcorn and appreciating a cool kick or whatever.

It's why the subway fight in The Matrix is so good. We know the stakes. We know both characters. We are invested in Neo's character and journey and want him to win. We know how dangerous the agents have been built up to be. There is a real element of danger, and real exhilaration whenever it seems like Neo is winning. Compare that to the fights in the Fast and the Furious movies, which are completely empty and soulless.

It's the same with sex scenes. If they don't actually serve the story or characters, it's just soft porn, and not the reason I watch a movie. Typically.
TV ads are short. 20 seconds of HD could be enough, easily upscaled to 4K.

I think it might be within the realm of the possible to see 30 second videos at the end of the year.

The next step could then be infinitely long videos when frames are getting generated at 24 fps, as long as the ability is given that they are able to stick to a story and a visual style that makes sense. The story could evolve automatically from an LLM or be generated in real time by an artist, like a prompt every minute. In any case, we're not that far away from this, even if the first results will be more like trippy videos.

Articles rarely seem to link to source material.
Some of these books describe obvious (or at least uncontroversial) things. Like one book describes issues with Celiacs eating wheat in a way that implies it's a general risk for everyone.

However diet can clearly affect the gut microbiome which is involved in development of various immune diseases (including allergies). Less clear how it might treat it after the fact, where evidence seems lacking.

Diet can clearly affect symptoms/complications. If someone has gut inflammation then different foods (or fasts) can be dramatically more or less compatible, and could potentially improve quality of life or stave off surgery. In general though, expecting too much from diet is likely to cause disease worsening compared to getting on the best drugs.
>the book itself is about totalitarian censorship in the Soviet Union

Animal farm is a critic of any kind of totalitarian government AND a critic of capitalism itself. The book literally ends with:

>Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

That's a grouping meaningful to Christians themselves, but meaningless to non-Christians, which means it's not a good way for this survey to be grouped.

>But where does the water go

Not back into aquifers, that takes hundreds if not thousands of years.

>Also who cares who eats the beef? If you price in the water usage

Ya, that's kinda the point, we don't. If we removed the massive subsidies propping up ranching very few people would be consuming beef.

>Don't blame people for enjoying their life

I don't think I did, but as you brought it up. I'll absolutely shame people for having disproportionate impacts on conservation of our natural resources. Boomers especially are leaving the planet a worse place than they inherited and I for one hope younger generations can reverse that trend.

I wanted to check your statement: "none of the traditional automakers are producing EVs at any kind of scale"

It's really tough to find numbers of cars produced! I don't think they make those numbers public even. All the numbers I could find were units sold. Units sold should be a proxy of unit produced to some extent (so perhaps this is fair to look at).

It appears these are the numbers [1] for 2023 (as of 2023 Q3) for global sales of battery-electric vehicles:

Tesla: 888,879 and 21.7% share (vs. 19%)
BYD Group: 615,064 and 15% share (vs. 11%)
Volkswagen Group: 311,359 and 7.6% share (vs. 7.3%)
SAIC (incl. SAIC-GM-Wuling): 308,899 and 7.5% share (vs. 10.8%)
Geely-Volvo: 236,847 and 5.8% share

Volkswagan I consider to be a traditional automaker. BYD was founded in 1995, I'm not sure if that is considered traditional yet. VW being at one third and BYD being at 80% is certainly a difference, but not a "any kind of scale" difference. VW and BYD are producing at scale.

> I'd say BYD is more of a competition than either Toyota or Rivian and they're not even in the US market yet.

Indeed, particularly in China and growingly in European markets. This other resource states that BYD (BEV) sales have surpassed Tesla in Q4 2023 [2]. The same resource has some interesting notes about planned production expansions

As a previous resident of Southcentral US and currently Southeastern US, I concur. Organized religion is the most potent socio-cultural poison in modern times in the US. Sadder than that, what we're mentioning in tandem is but a small portion of the larger inter-and-intra religious conflicts occurring worldwide, as well, or geo-political conflicts aided by them, which are almost equivalent. Even worse, in some respects.
