When in doubt try the "God" opt-out. I have found they usually either do not have a scripted rebuttal to this or they are legally not allowed to go against one's religious views. This can also be useful when feeling pressured to make an immediate decision by asking for a moment to "pray".

Examples:

1- "God told me to..."

While canceling Time Warner Cable I tried cancelling a few times prior. Always met with rebuttals, put on hold to research the account. Either waited on hold for 20 minutes or the call was disconnected. Tried again and gave the reason for cancelling "God told me to" account cancelled immediately. (I have also heard simply saying you're moving out of the service area works too.)

2- "Moment to pray" - Buying time or dissuade an aggressive salesperson.

My wife just recently gave birth to our first child. When her water broke she wanted to go to the nearest hospital which was within walking distance instead of getting a cab across town to the hospital where she was originally being seen. She remained adamant that she wanted a natural birth unless it would potentially endanger her health or our daughters. She has two friends who were pushed into C-sections both of which ended up having complications due to the procedure.

After six or seven hours after her water broke an administrative nurse came in with a shot and said she was going to start inducing labor. My wife pushed against this as she was worried about complications from a C-section. The administrator had a rebuttal to everything, to the point she even started crying. When I continued to hold ground they brought up concerns of spousal abuse.

This registered an immediate red flag and luckily I defaulted to "God mode"

I asked if we could have a moment to "pray". This bought us enough time to speak with the doctor face-to-face who agreed to wait a few more hours before inducing labor to avoid a C-section. We had a successful natural birth with no side effects.

(Hospitals' make 2-3x from a C-section as they do from a natural birth.)

(*When asked if it was medically necessary the administrative nurse would only say it was hospital policy and they do the same for everyone else who was on the floor.)
The fiat scheme is the bigger ponzi. It's already the case that to earn any decent income in the fiat ponzi, one must have special social connections to business leaders and/or politicians. It's just like under communism.

I don't even like Bitcoin and don't own Bitcoin because I have ethical concerns about it. Bitcoin promotes corruption of the socio-political system via extreme, massive-scale tribalism. That said, it's probably the lesser of two evils.

As an outsider, it's ironic to witness fiat proponents neglect the power of corruption which they themselves have been benefitting from to a far greater extent than Bitcoiners.

The side which can exert the most corruption (the will of their tribe), most quietly, will win. Likely Bitcoin since it has the support of the masses and business leaders. Fiat proponents can only blame themselves. They're the ones who made Bitcoin possible with their global ponzi.

I don't like the current system and I also don't particularly like where it's going but the trajectory is clear.
This is the fundamental problem. One an individual basis moving to a 8k square foot house in the suburbs is the thing to do. For the aggregate this means the mass transit gets worse, the traffic gets worse the emissions get worse, the tax base gets smaller.

The solution is policy. Use public money to make that 2 hour transit shorter and everyone wins, not just those of us with cash
> I'm referring to that "enable javascript" page and "one more step" page.

Sorry, I have no idea to what you're referring.

But even if that is the case _for sites that are behind Cloudflare CDN_ - that still doesn't invalidate my point that Cloudflare _itself_ does not make the web decentralized. A lot of traffic _happens_ to go through it right now - but if it does "up its policing" in a way which is unacceptable, it is trivial for hosts to migrate away from behind it, in a way which is _not_ the case when 1. your content is irretrievable from the provider, 2. your social network is unmigratable, or 3. your product is built in provider-specific language/tooling.

EDIT: a sibling comment[0] helped me realize that what I'm describing is more like "lock-in-iness" than "centralization". Fair. Though - a "gatekeeper" from whom migration costs are very cheap worries me far less.

Ah, I see, could you try now? The quota should be fixed, my bad there, had a bug.

Now about the query, DuckDB works in the following way, the query you sent should be written like

> SELECT * from <table> where "Status" = 'Complete';

Now this is because the `"` is used for the table and column names, and the `'` is used for raw string. See more here https://duckdb.org/docs/sql/introduction#querying-a-table which might be a bit different from other SQL database engines.

And finally, regarding the autocomplete, it indeeds tries to autocomplete in a too verbose way, which is something I'll try to improve.

Thanks for reaching out, and hopefully this can help you try it out!

On the BBC News today the 0.5M trees in question are being described as being Sequoiadendron. In the UK "(giant) redwood" is synonymous with Sequoiadendron - http://www.redwoodworld.co.uk/

So that doesn't really clear up the issue. I think it is safe to say that there are some sodding large trees in the UK that originated from the US. Many of them will grow really, really tall. Given that there are "only" 80K S. "Big buggers" in the US and around 0.5M assorted "Redwoods" in the UK, there is a good chance that there are more S. "Rather large" here than there. Ours are the result of deliberate collection and planting. We also have a large number of Monkey puzzle trees too which I think originate from S. Americas.

Just up the road from here: http://www.redwoodworld.co.uk/picturepages/yeovil.htm
Eh, fair - I think we have differing definitions of centralization, though I can see that yours is actually more accurate. I was using it not to mean "a lot of traffic goes through this thing", but rather "it would be difficult for users of this service to migrate away from it if they wanted to", which I guess is more like "lock-in-iness". The SPOF property you describe is indeed undesirable and important to be aware of!

I've always found the idea that a tree that lives for 2000 years "needs" fire for reproduction on human timescales dubious.

This is most likely very unpopular opinion but the GPL also relies on this overly broad interpretation which leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

In short, the GPL considers linking your program with it a derivative work, even if the GPL program is not distributed alongside yours. There's some limitations on it which I'm not really qualified to define, but those roughly boil down to that if you use it over a "generic interface" (network, or calling it as a process) then it doesn't count as a derivative work.

The massive problem with this is that it's a huge overreach. You are not distributing anything from their program (only the symbol names in the binary, which shouldn't be considered a meaningful amount of original work) but you are obliged to follow the terms of the licence to interoperate with a GPL-licenced program.

Granted, this is not a huge problem in practice because the GPL specifically is not used by abusive corporations much, but a similar issue happens with the enforcement of "terms of service"-s based on clickwrap "contracts" you never actually agreed to when you visit a website. Those also argue that not following their ToS also counts as either redistribution of their copyrighted work, or unauthorized access to their systems, both are huge overreaches.

This just brings more criminals into the city and increases theft and more crime. Why? If you catch a thief in the act, you now have a much higher chance of a violent encounter.

It's also sad that pretty much any sort of defense is illegal in Toronto, giving more rights to criminals and less rights to innocent victims.

I think we agree. But the car is a much bigger part of it than you're letting on.

The reason we zone this way is because people are unable to imagine their lives without being able to drive around. The very first thing people say in my town when an apartment tower goes up is "where am I going to park? Do they have a plan for moving the parking spots that this tower displaced? Traffic on tower St. is going to get so much worse!"

If the expectation is that everyone owns a car, upzoning is a huge problem -- it actually is, because everything that scares a car brain ("I can't park!" "It's going to be loud!" "This will increase traffic!") is actually true. Rather than limiting cars, of course, we choose to limit zoning. Which is actually quite a logical thing to do if everyone is to own a car.

If you get rid of cars you get rid of collectors, arterials, onramps and offramps, turn lanes, parking spots... Those are things that are fundamentally incompatible with a major, dense, vibrant city. You can easily fit 50,000 people, their workplaces, senior care homes, schools, and restaurants into the land area of a 4 way cloverleaf that is designed to service 50,000 round trip commutes by car.

There's some hay in the cryptocurrency space right now about how MSTR's market cap merits its inclusion in the S&P 500, which some think will cause a "flywheel".

(1) Index funds purchase MSTR shares, driving up the price; (2) thus allowing Saylor to issue more debt to buy BTC, which drives that up; (3) MSTR shares appreciate due to its BTC holdings; (4) go to step 1 as funds need to rebalance and add more MSTR shares.

The weak points to this idea are definitely step 2 and even 3. MSTR won't be able to keep finding entities to buy its debt indefinitely, and MSTR is already trading well above what its BTC holdings' appreciation would justify, so there's some obviously unsustainable mania going on.

Yes, this is pretty much just pseudo-statistical nonsense. Its like it is taken right from the playbook of Trump’s election denial or a fringe Climate change denial. The graphs show limited data which doesn’t actually indicated what they say it indicates. Speculations are drawn without any justification for doing so, and the conclusion has nothing to do with presiding arguments raised.

Accessory dwelling units ("ADUs") are becoming somewhat common because it lets people throw down a tiny (sometimes pre-fab) cheap housing unit that they can rent out. Many of these don't have real kitchens (no stove, etc.).
Let’s all keep in mind that “adversaries” are just regular countries that some people in government have decided are a competitive threat or strategic obstacle. This is, frankly, bullshit.

You cannot infer that just because a car is ~50% heavier that it means it spews out more brake particles. EV's use regenerative braking similar to that of engine braking in your car and this accounts for limited use of the brake pads in comparison to combustion engines.

Those numbers you present are a little inflated when it comes to like for like currently. Furthermore, there are combustion engine vehicles which are far far heavier than EV 4wd's.

Acceleration is not performed under braking either so I don't see your latest point.
Thanks for the explanation, but I still don't understand how MSW and Storybook are comparable. As you said, MSW can be used to isolate a "backend". But Storybook really mainly to isolate the "frontend" parts. I see the point of both. On that note, while pretty happy with my current mocking solutions I've been meaning to take a closer look at MSW!

How does SB require a certain component structure? I didn't have to touch mine. They have a "sub component" feature for documenting nested components that work together, although I didn't even use it. Just used either decorators or render functions in my stories where needed (which did require a little wiring up to update the args).

I don't use Tailwind (yuck, sorry!), but how is choice of styling a factor?

The auto docs have some weird glitches and did force me to adjust my TS types a bit is my complaint (and react-docgen-typescript wasn't working for me at all).

I agree that SB is probably not worth the effort for everyone though.
Water vaporizes, and at that point blows up just about every container you can build around it. As will ice when it cools down. Sand is just sand, very little difference, very unreactive from way under freezing temps to about 1300 degrees.

And you might vent steam, but you should probably take into account that while water < 45 degrees or so is pretty innocent, steam will strip flesh from bone starting at 180 degrees or so, it won't "just" burn you.
>>I‘m a huge fan of s telemetry insurance. I have I personally and it saves me around 300€/year on my cars insurance because I am a very defensive driver

My sister had it, and it was biggest piece of crap imaginable. The system would send her emails warning her about "lack of smoothness" in her driving, because....the system would rate her down every time she went over a speed bump.

The biggest problem was that she would get emails saying "we've detected you were going 70mph in a 20mph zone, if this continues we will cancel your insurance", so we would call them and ask them to provide GPS logs, which they always would - and the logs would always show that she was going legal 70mph on the motorway, which at one point goes above a smaller 20mph road - and of course the system was stupid enough to just query the speed limit for every point, not realizing that this wasn't the road she was actually on. We would email them back explaining, and the warnings would go away until she went on that road again.

Absolute waste of time and money, I think the insurance company would need to pay me to have this fitted, the nerves it cost my sister to have that piece of crap in her car weren't worth whatever discount she got for it.
Now that they've disarmed everyone, thieves are more willing to risk confrontation when breaking into people's homes to get key fobs.

A CPAP humidifier is a distiller. You could use muddy swamp water in it and the vapor that goes into your lungs would still be pristine.

However, that would make the machine prone to bacterial and scale buildup, and hard to clean. Ease of cleaning is the real reason to use only distilled water in CPAP machines.

There was, however, a recent paper published suggesting that there is still liquid magma beneath the Mars surface based on seismic activity:

"Magma on Mars likely", by Marianne Lucien, 27.10.2022

Since 2018, when the NASA InSight Mission deployed the SEIS seismometer on the surface of Mars, seismologists and geophysicists at ETH Zurich have been listening to the seismic pings of more than 1,300 marsquakes. Again and again, the researchers registered smaller and larger Mars quakes. A detailed analysis of the quakes’ location and spectral character brought a surprise. With epicentres originating in the vicinity of the Cerberus Fossae - a region consisting of a series of rifts or graben - these quakes tell a new story. A story that suggests vulcanism still plays an active role in shaping the Martian surface.

<https://ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2022/10/mag...>
