That's a conspiracy theory:

The term "conspiracy theory" is itself the subject of a conspiracy theory, which posits that the term was popularized by the CIA in order to discredit conspiratorial believers, particularly critics of the Warren Commission, by making them a target of ridicule.

[..]

The idea that the CIA was responsible for popularising the term "conspiracy theory" was analyzed by Michael Butter, a Professor of American Literary and Cultural History at the University of Tübingen.

.. and that analysis concluded "yeah, nuh".

How is that continuous? Sure, there’s a trivial continuous mapping from a vector to the set of vectors orthogonal to it, but that’s hardly relevant to the problem st hand. Anyway, functions are deterministic by definition unless explicitly specified otherwise in some context.

And even the cheapest crap you can get from IKEA doesn't seem that bad to me. I've had one of those 5-euro LACK coffee tables for around six years and it really only has some minor surface damage on the top. Far away from throwing out.

Although at the same time, I think I'm on my third MARKUS chair because of the gas spring leaking. Thankfully they do have long warranties, so you can exchange them if it doesn't last for 10 years.
> that is the developers choice not the users choice

users (should) have options, not choices.

as a user you can choose among the options provided to you.

the more the options, the better in general, sometimes it could be a little bit worse for a single user, but that's alright and honestly very rare to be charitable.

giving users the power to choose in every detail how the product should be developed and distributed will inevitably end up like this

https://media.wired.com/photos/593252a1edfced5820d0fa07/mast...

the counter argument is that giving Apple all the power is not beneficial for users (userS, plural)

Imagine if Apple decided what music you can listen to or which website you can visit or what movies you can watch with their devices. Their mobile platform has two main actors: Apple, the owner of the distribution platform, and the developers, who create the products being distributed on such platform. Users are, as the name implies, users.

Your options will be: select the apps only from the App Store, select them from the App Store and the developer website and finally don't use an Apple device. Which is one option more than it was until now.

The island is owned by the natives. And it's still a tragedy to the entire world if they decide to put skyscrapers on it. It's the last bit of untouched wilderness in a unique ecosystem.

Or maybe not. I don't have context. I am asking a question.

You say it like it's a good thing, but it's not. Specifically, the fact that our country's foundational document is so vague about our fundamental rights, is a very bad thing for everyone involved. If it was more specific, our fundamental rights would not only be more clear, they would also be more stable, not subject to the momentary (on a historical scale) whims of pop culture.

If our fundamental rights are subject to change every few years with a new Supreme Court decision, then we're either abusing the process to make these changes, or these rights should not be in the constitution in the first place. The constitution is supposed to contain the most fundamental, the most immutable rights.

We have a proper democratic process to update the constitution, but it requires a certain high level of consensus, as it should – these being our fundamental rights, after all. Yet this process is completely bypassed by activist judges who of course are happy to use the power that their predecessors afforded themselves. That is not a good thing in any way.

Aspergillus oryzae (koji) is eaten raw in Japan, every day, since a long time ago. It's used to make miso. When making miso soup from raw miso (which is made using raw koji), you shouldn't bring the soup to a boil after putting in the miso in order to preserve the positive health effects.

Koji is relatively well-known even outside of Japan these days I believe, even Fedora's build system is named after it.

It's mostly a distinction without much difference. In jurisdictions were copyright is non-transferable, it will always be with the natural person who created the work. But all these jurisdictions allow transferring exclusive rights of use, so that's what happens instead.

If you want to get really technical, something like "Copyright (c) 2024 CompanyName SE" is literally impossible by the letter of the law in these jurisdictions. Courts of course understand that this is meant to be shorthand for "The exclusive rights to use this work authored in 2024 by an unnamed party are with CompanyName SE".

The starting point at 5000 Yen is a lot of money for people earning Japanese salary. Violations like running red lights are common in most of the busy places.

The only problem is that you don't see cops that often, or they aren't very keen to enforce some subset of the traffic rules, so most probably you'll not get caught 99/100. Same as some other road rules. Don't get me wrong, if you get caught, it can be pretty serious.

That seems like the kind of law that could actually pass? It only happens if people make a stink about it, because the inertial default is the status quo, but sometimes that's what happens.
"ultra processed food" is the perfect grifter slogan:

* There's a grain of truth in it. Chemically designing food gives the opportunity to reduce costs by making it less healthy, and food producers should be held to account. We need better ways to quantify and assure the health value of food products. However-

* The term "UPF" is vague, making it not useful for the individual. This provides great opportunities for grifters to a) publish scary clickbait and b) set themselves up as an authority on what food or is not UPF

* It provides the perfect opportunity for status signalling, as wealthier people can invest money or time in artisanally produced or prepared food.

* It provides an opportunity for low efficiency producers to sell food as "less processed" at a high markup, irrespective of whether it is more healthy

The population is too large to rely on food produced or prepared artisanally, unless possibly they prepare it themselves out of raw ingredients. But giving up on economic specialism in the area of food preparation would be huge cost on society. Do we really believe that our economic system is incapable of enforcing the evaluation and optimization of the health value of food products? That would be a really basic failure.

When I was shopping for a TV console, I went to a "proper" furniture shop and checked out console in the 150 to 200 euro range. Zero consideration for cable management and doors slammed hard when you closed them. Then I went to IKEA and bought a BESTÅ system that totalled like 130€ or something. Soft-closing doors, cable management holes and the lot. Was very happy with my BESTÅ after seeing what other stores had in a similar price range.
Some processed food does mess your stomach up. Like, freeze dried eat-in-the-forest bags of food.

There has to be some sort of concern at some point? I mean, the stomach might get a too easy job with the food almost predigested?

But mainly, "processed food" is probably just an indirect measure of a bad diet, lots of sugar etc

I see tesseract mentioned more and more.

Myself I tried it probably 10-15 years ago on scanned scientific papers (decent scanning quality). The results were disappointing. The manual postprocessing required was not much less than typing it directly. So tesseract became a synonym of "not worth trying" to me.

Maybe things have improved over the years, so I should give it a new try. (No particular use case at the moment, but those tend to appear occasionally.)
But people _do_ die when exposing corruption of the rich. Such as Daphne Caruana Galizia and Ján Kuciak for the Panama papers. Would you call their deaths "hollywood films"?

And it'd be natural to think killers would try to hide their traces, such that most such deaths would look like an accident or suicide.
Bro, where do you get your food? Do you grow it in your house? Where do you get your water from? Hell, where do you get your air from? How do you think getting a security system fixes it?
I don't know. He never talked about a captivity switch.

Perhaps he is an object lesson that one should create a "switch escalator".

Perhaps a dead man's switch used in captivity could also potentially make captivity worse and remove what last remnants of hope he has. I suspect if he pulled the switch now then a lot of the sympathy he got for exposing a war crime might go out the window.

Rust-pgdatadiff: A re-write of pgdatadiff in Rust
What makes it different?

* It is schema aware right from the get-go, as when we had to use the original pgdatadiff we ended up having different schemas that we needed to perform checks on.

* It runs DB operations in a parallel fashion, making it at least 3x faster in comparison to the original pgdatadiff which performs the checks sequentially.

* It is written in Rust, which means that it is memory safe and has a very low overhead.

* It provides both a library and a client, which means that you can use it as a standalone tool and in your own projects.

What piece of regulating legislation have you seen that's one line?
I mean… not really. Quality and style generally are pretty correlated, with higher quality pieces traditionally being more “old school”. And that was basically GP comment’s point.

One can value form over function, especially if there’s a specific style that the rest of your house uses. If your entire house is decorated in a contemporary style, then a traditional sofa is just going to stand out like a sore thumb.
Seems like an odd comparison to make rather than looking at the value of the electricity * total throughput over the life of the product. Tesla Powerwall would break even within the warranty period. Pumped storage has a similar number of charge/discharge cycles before it would break even, it’s just cheaper because it lasts longer.
Wow, no comments.

I was surprised that they got so far before that first mistake.
1000m is much higher than real rockets pitch over, but good for KSP with forgiving aerodynamic stress. It's just a convenient round number and gives a few seconds of breathing room to make sure the fiery end of the rocket points to the ground before start of maneuvering.
> Then, declare any criticism of the project as racist

One criticism quoted in the article is this:

> "When you’re building 30, 40-storey high rises out of concrete, there’s a big gap between that and an Indigenous way of building."

Which is indeed literally racist. Like White can build towers using concrete but other people should stick with small wood structures or whatever. Spoiler: technology is spreading among people around the world, and Chinese, Arab, Japanese, etc. built skyscrapers despite it not being their traditional way of building.
Bought an Ikea particle board couch back in 2017 and it's still going strong despite heavy use by two fat people and 3 moves where it was dis/re-assembled. I recently added a support to the armrest where the unbacked fiberboard had caved in a bit.

Sure, quality furniture is great but I'll wait until we settle down. For now, no regrets.
I mean, yes, but when we take irrationality into account, we can't discount the irrationality of saying "if it's suicide, it's not me" to a friend, and then committing suicide right after.

My point isn't about what he supposedly did made sense or not, but what he did was completely useless if true, and even debating it is useless now because of the way it was done. That's why I mentioned how he cursed his friend with that.
You need Mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. You can get them from olive/sesame/etc and algae oil.
They can tell whether you fired A gun, not necessarily that you fired that specific gun into your specific body. It's circumstantial evidence at best.

Better evidence would be signs of a struggle or calculating bullet velocity to see if it came from the gun in that position. However, there are ways of doing this without actually causing a struggle. Wait for them to go to sleep; you could even give them some melatonin or something to make them drowsy. If it's in a car, put some nitrogen canisters on the A/C intake to make them pass out.

If it is nefarious, there will be evidence somewhere. Whether you care to look for that evidence, know where to look for it or have the technology to find it ... that's another matter altogether.
There should be a law to enforce giving and accepting 'no' as an answer. I'm seeing "not now" everywhere nowadays, and it started to make my blool boil.

I can and I am already using all sorts of blockers at different level that even if I said yes at some point the data isn't going anywhere, but enough is enough, it shouldn't be an arms race to protect very basic privacy or simply having dignity in front of my computer or cellphone.

I agree with the comments below but would like to add that the IKEA of 10-20 years ago is not the IKEA of today. Many of their product lines have been made “more eco friendly” per their argument but in reality are cost saving measures. E.g wood countertops are veneer now and other things that you could buy as solid wood are veneer.

You got in when the going was good. I think you can still buy decent enough stuff but having moved a few times myself and then friends and family a lot of the newer stuff is one time use, don’t pick it up, don’t look at it cross eyed, kinda stuff and it shows.
Web pages have users (JS has time limited execution and will be killed if the page hangs).
Everyone with career sense in Russia will deny that, of course. They probably even believe it, in the sense that they're so indifferent to the truth of the matter that they don't even feel they are lying when they say the window-jumper was just a suicide and accusing FSB is preposterous.

Maybe you'll find a few who will say, off the record, that of course it wasn't a suicide.

But those people aren't rare in the US either! Feds are just as "paranoid" as the rest of in these matters.

I was surprised that is a thing in some manual cars. In every car I see, the gear stick stays where it is after you switch gears. If you switch gears to 1 then it stays on 1, it does not go back to center/neutral position. If you want to move it to two, you first move it to neutral position and then move to 2.

edit: I thought it was returning back to neutral state in the video, I was wrong
