> posit circumstances in which it WOULD make more sense to convert.

If office buildings had been built with conversion in mind in the first place. This would require smaller floorplates, more utility stacks, etc., and they wouldn't be as profitable as office buildings built without those constraints, but you would at least have better future flexibility in what kind of use the building gets.

But you can't just ignore that existing office buildings are not remotely like residential buildings, and would be extremely expensive to convert. So I suppose the criteria you might say is profitability; if a conversion won't turn a profit, no developer is going to do it.

One of the most important insights raised by the French Revolution and those who study it is that cultural traditions were not challenged. Working people were not willing to part ways with the cultural traditions associated with the monarchy, despite aggressively opposing the politics of the monarchy. It's all but impossible to study the French Revolution without grappling with this contradiction.

>Were the Nazis left wing or were they fighting to preserve Weimar?

They were right wing by every account. Any doubt was universally discarded with the Night of the Long Knives. No serious historians disagree with this.

>Is the contemporary far right fighting to maintain the current status quo?

Definitely. The current status quo is capitalism and all stripes of the right, including both the Republicans and Democrats in the US, merely represent the interests of different capitalists, including the minority who insist their desires are closer to feudalism (like Peter Thiel).

>Was overturning Roe v Wade aligned with left wing interests or right wing? Etc.

It's only right wing under capitalism, due to the drastically unequal burden of raising children under capitalism.

Furthermore, defending Roe v Wade alongside the Hyde ammendment (as the Democrats do) is also right wing. The Hyde ammendment is a strictly economic measure that outlaws subsidizing abortion services with tax revenue, ever further dividing the rich from the poor.

A left wing effort would have focused on overturning the Hyde ammendment decades ago in addition to codifying Roe v Wade, but doing so would undermine the tremendously profitable American heathcare system so the Democrats (a right wing party) would never consider it. Note Obamacare was a windfall for the healthcare industry, a key donor of the Democratic Party.
Chicago has one of the worst pension problems in the country largely on the back of public employee pension underfunding, including the teachers union.
This is very tangential, but I wanted to share:

A little over 11 years ago, I setup this game, CorsixTH, for a friend who was undergoing chemo for leukemia and a bone marrow transplant. They had played the original game as a kid and I guess nostalgia and their then-current circumstances got them interested again. I was impressed by this port's functionality, back then.

My friend didn't make it, several months later. The marrow transplant didn't take well enough, and they eventually caught a lung infection they didn't survive. Needless to say, this had a profound impact on my outlook.

So it's bittersweet to see it pop up again. But I will repeat my original assessment: it's an impressively functional port!
It's a thread discussing Microsoft and the DOJ? But you know that.
Absolutely, I also replied to the OP's response below that I failed to specify that I was arguing parrots' ability to reason which I do believe exists to a great extend.

Regardless, speech is just another means of communication. In the end it doesn't really matter if I use perfectly articulated Swahili or just scream "aaar" at you for a few seconds as long as I get the cheeseburger with extra cheese I want from you. These parrots, much like children, just push your buttons and are quite good at finding (or negotiating) the right pattern of things to do and sounds to make to get to a certain outcome.
What I think ultimately doesn't matter, but I'm an AI booster and am hopeful that there's a path for GPT's "trainers" (including software engineers) to have their rights legally recognized. Also, I don't want to take away anyone's joy of applying the factors to this use case and imagining how courts might decide.
And I know people that have used bevy to make games and liked it more than any other engine they tried before. Many people are already using it in production, there's also multiple games built with bevy released on steam with many more in progress.

It's completely expected that it doesn't click for everyone, but I don't get why you are framing it as if hitting a brick wall is the only experience that people have when making games with bevy. Plenty of people just don't like the ECS model. That doesn't mean that bevy is bad. It's just not for them. We are lucky enough that there's a great alternative in the rust gamedev ecosystem like Fyrox for those people. It doesn't have to be a competition.
We solve this by managing referential integrity across relational databases when we subset. Effectively you have to build a graph of edges and nodes where edges are constraints and nodes are tables, then you have to follow these edges from node to node to maintain the constraints. It's certainly not trivial and gets very complicated when people use sensitive data as a primary key (for ex. email)/foreign key, then you need a way to anonymize those emails and shelf those primary keys until you can re-insert them later so you don't break the constraints.

In terms of careers, children have years where they are expected to be unproductive and old people are no longer expected to be productive.

Your ignorance of the failures of conservatism in science is showing.

Many cultures don't have a nuclear family. Conservative "scientists" decreeted that was proof of their backwardness.

Homosexuality was a core facet of antiquity. Conservative scholars and translators have completely erased any mention of it, rewriting whole parts of the Iliad even in the XXth century.

The conservative bias in biology and medicine is so extensive and so damaging to women that there isn't enough room here to list all its malfeasance.

Conservatives pretend to already know what is "natural", what is "human nature" (which is what white rich Anglo-Saxon believe in, of course). Why would anyone let any conservative do research when they are fundamentally uninterested in having an open mind?

Elon Musk increased the stock price of Tesla by repeatedly lying about Tesla's ability to deliver FSD while egging on his cult of personality, a.k.a.

I'll give the mathematical explanation. So if X is a continuous random variable, the probability that X takes on any particular value x is 0, i.e. P(X = x) = 0. However, it still makes sense to talk about P(X < x) --- this is clearly not 0. For example, suppose X is a random variable of the uniform distribution from 0 to 1. P(X = 0.5) = 0, clearly, but P(X < 0.5) = 0.5, clearly. (There's a 50% chance that X takes on a value less than 0.5). We can talk about P(X < x) as a function of x---in the case of the uniform distribution, P(X < x) = x. (There's a 30% chance that X takes on a value less than 0.3, there's a 80% chance that X takes on a value less than 0.8, etc.) This is called the cumulative distribution function---it tells us the cumulative probability (accumulating from -infinity to x). The probability density function is the rate of change---the derivative---of the cumulative distribution function. At a particular x, how "quickly" is the cumulative distribution function increasing at that point? That is the question that the probability density function answers, if that makes sense.

In the case of the cumulative distribution function of the uniform distribution from 0 to 1, since the derivative of x is 1, the probability distribution function is 1 from 0 to 1 and 0 elsewhere. This makes sense; the probability P(X < x) isn't increasing faster at one point than any other---with the exception of x outside of 0 and 1 having a probability density value of 0, since e.g. P(X < 2) is 100% and increasing the value of x=2 does not change this (it's still 100% because X only takes on values within [0,1]) .
not diss on OP more on SF Chronicle
This is unnecessarily antagonistic. People are allowed to bring their personal experiences to the table, and just because you don't think that those, alone, change the big picture - which is a perfectly reasonable thing to point out - that doesn't mean that they should simply not share those experiences or the opinions that are informed by them. It certainly doesn't make them "ego(tistical)", "irrational", and "selfish". There's just no reason to treat people this way.

I passionately disagree with this. I find it much better to focus on a talk (granted, I'm talking here about math talks primarily) if I know that all there is to know is contained in what I'm seeing, and that it's alright if I occasionally don't pay attention to the speaker. (I'm much more attuned to the written word than to the spoken word, and I imagine I'm not alone in this.)

While I believe in journalism, I'm pretty appalled at the state of modern journalism. There have been a few big fully televised court cases recently, e.g., Depp v. Heard, and I was stunned at how poor the media coverage of them was. As I was intrigued by the legal system, I watched tens of hours of raw footage of witnesses, lawyers and judges, and I was amazed at how watching the raw footage revealed how incredibly biased and superficial the journalism coverage was (on all sides). As this experience showed how untrustworthy newspapers can be, I'm really not aware of any newspaper/journalism (maybe Private Eye? Or Bellingcat?) that is worth reading, let alone paying for.

I guess it might be a catch twenty two. Low quality -> low income -> low quality, but the sadness of such a dynamic does not make me want to pay for an inferior service.
I don't know how widely held that viewpoint is. words mean things and cars aren't trucks, and someone's option on Tesla has nothing to do with that. If you call a truck a car, there are people that will look at you funny.

At least, FetLife users do. The default group has more than 10 million members, so that's not nothing.

I can totally see how small, and/or web-ish services would prefer the PWA route, even if violating the prude Appstore's TOS wasn't their issue. Many apps in the Appstore are just wrapped webapps anyway, so why bother with Apple's shenanigans?!

Wasn't until recently, iOS didn't support web push notifications... which are quite essential for lots of devs to even consider putting resources into a PWA, I presume. So, that may be one of the reasons we don't see them more frequently yet.

Honestly, not hard to instruct users to "install" web apps. And if they've done it once, they may explore this option with other websites on their own. I think, there is good reason for Apple to be afraid of this option, as threat to their income/extortion source - cuz maybe their infrastructure isn't that important a contribution as claimed.
It's worth noting that while Romance of the Three Kingdoms is set 2000 years ago, it was written in the 14th century, so the context is quite different to the Iliad.

There is some surviving poetry from the Zhou Dynasty, which is contemporary with classical Greece, but I don't think any of it is epics.
Visible, discoverable UI control elements are (were?) such a nice thing. (I believe Apple also once endorsed those principles... until they decided to abandon them.)

I just had another thought about this: without violence - you cannot have peace. Sure, you can threaten violence if peace is not kept, but if you are not prepared to use violence to uphold your threat - your threat is useless. I think Putin is a great example for this. He showed us, that violence is actually a valid tool to achieve your goals nowadays. I mean sure I and people like me don't like violence but just because we don't, doesn't mean others somewhere else also don't and won't use it. We cannot avoid being confronted with violence at least at some points in society. We need to understand that it is also part of us and be able to deal with it or channel it. When I read the definition of violence I found on google: "behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something."
Is there really any human who at least in some way didn't somehow use force to hurt someone, even as a kid? Don't we actually nurture application of violence in soldiers? I just have a feeling, that there is some insight here, that violence is not all that useless and maybe is a trait that made humans at least in part successful. OK, it make bring our downfall through nuclear war, but what other catastrophes wouldn't? We will fall down one way or another if we will not prepare. Also, what is a benchmark for success here?

> Rome was nowhere near industrial revolution.

I'm not sure how that impacts the question at hand, whether technology went backward in the Middle Ages.

> Technology mostly didn't go backward, societal organization did.

In Middle Ages Europe people did not develop or implement technology, or even employ existing Roman technology, at nearly the level of the Romans. Who built new aquaducts, for example?

They developed, implemented, and used worse technology than the Romans often did; that's what I mean by 'it went backward'.

That's not true, at least per stream. TIDAL is actually the most artist friendly, and it's not even close:

> Compared to Spotify, Apple Music pays a higher rate per stream. The exact amount varies from $0.006 to $0.008 per stream.

> Let’s start with the elephant in the room. On average, Tidal pays $0.01 per stream, which is way above the $0.003/0.005 offered by Spotify.

> Though Tidal’s service being more profitable for artists is worth praising, the remuneration itself is not the biggest issue here, as it’s the way the revenue streams are distributed among artists.

> Spotify pays artists pro-rata, meaning they calculate the total streams within the platform and estimate the proportion each artist should receive.

No, he’s saying that it is a language closer on the spectrum to useless than useful- and that is because side effects are an afterthought/discouraged rather than a first class citizen.

Right, I'm not arguing the basic mechanism here. I'm just saying that every course of chemo does not completely wipe out your immune system, either. Dosage and cycling of the chemo matters, and even then your body reacts differently from cycle to cycle. Chemo is scary, but not because it completely kills your immune system every time.

My cousin and I had different cancers. Both of us had cisplatin. At the dose I had, my hair was gone. He hardly lost any hair and wasn't even that sick.

We also have drugs to offset the immune problems by sending your bone marrow into overdrive. My first cycle of cisplatin knocked my ANC to effectively zero. I was given additional meds on subsequent cycles and didn't have that problem again. (Said drugs are expensive and give you a special kind of bone pain that's hard to describe, so are apparently not given unless you have problems).
In deed, I wouldn't say Tim is a crack head. He is just NOT Steve.

The colorblind mode is just using blue instead of green.

While it might work for some people, I'd suggest to redesign. Don't convey information with color alone. For example, you could switch the boldness, circle the number, or something else. The goal is to make it playable even if my goal setting is set to grayscale mode.

Once you do this, you may be able to get rid of the colorblind setting.
