> "unless the contrary is shown". Shown by whom? To what standard? What must be shown?

I have no idea about British law, but... As I get it, here we see the fallback logic that defines some defaults when dealing with lack of information (an abandoned newborn). Here we don't know newborn's nationality, so we must make an assumption - the lawmakers decided they didn't want to have proverbial NULLs in here.

- "What must be shown?" - I could be misunderstanding things (especially because English is not my native language), but I believe the intent here is pretty clear. To me it reads as applicability scope, constraining when the fallback kicks in, so we don't create logical contradictions. My understanding is that it says that if there's a known fact that contradicts (a) or (b) it would make those defaults inapplicable - which is logical, because we can't proceed to assume A if we know that ¬A is true. E.g. if there's a known fact (say, a DNA test or a witness testimony or some other evidence) that confirms e.g. that the infant's parent wasn't and isn't a British citizen or permanent resident, this piece won't apply and we won't consider infant to have been born of such father. I think the program at the bottom of the page 374 (page 5 in the PDF) agrees with me on this.

- "Shown by whom?" - as this is clearly unspecified, can't we safely assume that the existence of the fact alone is what should affect the execution flow, not who brought this fact to the light? That is, I believe it reads so anyone or anything can show it, but only the fact (and its truthfulness) itself matters. Again, don't see the issue here - but I'm curious if you have alternative interpretations how it could be read?

- "To what standard?" - this is the only real ambiguity here. Probably because the lawmakers writing the act weren't exactly capable or even aiming to figure out the theory of truth for a natural language. As I get it, for the legal stuff it's pretty normal to have undefined behaviors and return to them when they are triggered and someone is unhappy about the outcome and goes to the court to follow up and clarify the details. When we're rendering laws as machine programs, we mustn't forget what they apply to - to the society governed by those laws. Unless we're running a simulation, the society is external to the program - and it's the only sane design (that doesn't violate Kant's categorical imperative, so the laws should not treat the society as means to some goal but as the goal itself - if I understand the idea correctly, please correct me if I don't) that any or almost any statement may raise an exception-like situation that would require a human to look into it and fix (thus always deferring ultimate legislating to a rational being's will). In other words, it's our usual "I don't want to think too much about this edge case, gotta ship this thing already, so we'll get to this later if we get an error report". This is the universal mechanism that applies not just to this particular question, but to the other questions above that I thought are clear, if someone disagrees.

"see, rampant consumerism is good for the people in sub-saharan africa! it's okay to buy disposable land-fill!"

another way to look at this is, we export our pollution to another country until their citizens get tired of the pollution, and thus charge more for production. So we pull up stakes and move on to the next country that's too poor to complain.

But i guess bootstrapping economies by dumping toxins everywhere on the planet is ok.

The goal should be to bootstrap sustainable, clean technologies, not the same 1800s era industrialization that coats the land in a fine sheen of toxic waste.

One photon hits the slit and one photon comes out. It is only if you repeat the experiment many times that you start to see a strange wawe-like pattern in where the photons hit.

It is as if every photon that went through the slit is somehow aware of all other photons that did so too so each photon can choose the (random) position where it hits on the wall behind the slit such that together they look like as if a WAWE went through the slit.

That is (one reason) why they call it "Quantum Weirdness". God is playing dice with us

Article is from 2019, and also somehow goes through the entire article without even entertaining the idea that personality differences might be hormonally mediated. Women are from Venus I guess, or something.
This is a beautifully designed and illustrated page.

But I couldn't disagree more with the premise. It complains that computers have been reduced from physical, tactile, hulking mainframes to neutered generic text interfaces, but I've watched the opposite happen over the past two decades.

My phone is physical -- I swipe, pinch, and tap. It buzzes and dings and flashes. I squeeze my AirPods, I pay by holding my wrist up to a sensor, I tilt my iPad to play video games and draw on it with a pencil.

Everything the article complains about, we've already solved. All of its suggestions, we already have. It wants "multi-modality" but we already have that too -- I can change the volume on my iPhone with physical buttons while I dictate. I can listen to music while I scroll.

Our interfaces haven't lost their senses. Our interfaces have more senses than they've ever had before.
Depends on the depth. “Pizza box” generally referred to the smaller rack mounted stuff that could fit in the 24 inch depth racks. They were called pizza boxes because 19 inch width and that depth made them nearly square.

A typical 1U full sized server is 40+ inches though. Those are really annoying to put at a desk.

I'm not "seeing" a neo-segregationist about school funding policy lol nice try though.

But anyway hasn't the GDP and accumulated wealth of the nation increased much more over that length of time? How much of that new wealth is it appropriate to spend on education?
I think that rarely happens anywhere. That’s a high bar.

I’d argue elections are more impactful.
The data does show that if you look at what cost of living is buying you in the midwest versus the bay. New construction large homes on large lots are in reach. Multiple vehicles are in reach. Everything is in reach after that. I'm sorry but the housing stock in the bay is just poor quality for what it is. The lots are tiny barely larger than the home. The home is small. The bedrooms are small. Most you can do is tear out the old chicken wire and plaster building and build a big ugly modern glass/cement box to the edges of the property line and even then you are slumming it in terms of space to what you'd have in the midwest. You want actual property, with some setbacking from your neigbors, and still convenient to things, its just not really available even if you had the money. Like those homes on pinehill or robin road in san mateo would be the caliber i'm talking about you can buy as a tradie in the midwest, in terms of setback and square footage, even finishes too for that matter. and that land in the midwest will actually be relatively flat and probably cleared out for you vs it being a home tucked in high slope chaparral you might technically own but can't really do anything with like build outlaying buildings.

You could have an indoor pool in a detached building. You could keep horses. You could have a 6 car garage. All the upgrades from the builder too. All for a song in comparison to a home a fraction of all that in the bay. I mean just start looking on zillow between these sorts of homes in say indiana or ohio and it is absurd the difference in cost of living. How much you'd have to pay to rent a tiny old boat on lake tahoe for the day vs buying a boat outright and even paying to winterize and store it in a yacht club on a great lake. SF country club fees vs midwest, literally exclusive fuck you old money rates vs only a couple thousand initiation fee for the same sort of course conditions and probably a nicer appointed newer constructed clubhouse in the midwest. Same is true for the private schools too, the nicest ones nationally recognized in the area can only charge so much because there's just so many people with kids and wealth in the private school market so they aren't absolutely stupid like in the bay. Even the public schools go up to bat with those in some districts.

I don't think "the data" you might cite are considering all of these factors of the lived experience. Maybe one or two economic indicators but not how life actually plays out with even the half dozen or so things I've laid out above.

The environment is super important, too. You’re spot on at that regard.
My impression is Quaise's maser (?) drill thingie would be used for granite. Which is increasingly a challenge for geothermal (going deeper, longer).

Can types of drill bits (heads?) be swapped out? So use the super diamond bit to get started, then switch to Quaise's maser once you reach granite.

Just guessing. Am noob. Am just trying to follow along.

I only know about Andrew Tate because of 2 things: general chatter about him and a small (about 10 min) YouTube critic of him that I randomly watched a few days ago.

He is obviously a despicable character but it's not surprising that he was able to get where he is.
He is the symptom of a general sickness nobody wants to acknowledge, the only ones breaking through are the extreme assholes, nobody listen to the nuanced position and we even tell them they are like those extreme assholes.

Which is exactly what you did, and you very astutely showed exactly that there is a problem and that you are part of the problem.

Good job, thanks.
There won't be a big protest over this because there is already too much fragmentation of protests and only so much organization and time, and also people are cowards.

In the last two weeks I've been to 3 protests in the NYC area:

- Stand with Ukraine

- Stand for Science

- Tesla Takedown

In the same time there have been protest for Khalil and a protest against the entitlement cuts, as well as protests in support of Veterans.

However, this (wrongful and illegal arrest/detention/deportation) _should_ be the biggest protest, because if Trump backed off all of the other things and was able to get away with normalizing this use of DoJ and federal law enforcement to disappear people into the legal system, then nobody will protest anything out of legitimate fear of being disappeared.

My observation of most Americans protesting is that they are doing it for the social/emotional aspects and aren't doing it with the intent of putting themselves in any real risk... and I think what you'll see is that when things get REALLY serious, those people will say things like "I was out there from 2017 - 2024 and protests didn't do anything, I'm not going to risk my career/family/well-being/life anymore for nothing".
Then why didn't Jordan and Egypt give them a country when they controlled the territory where they live? The answer is because they didn't want a country there, they wanted the land that is called "Israel". Egypt never gave them citizenship, but that didn't seem to be a problem to them. They tried to attack Israel, not Egypt. There's more to this story than you're telling.
The big issue was less technical and more market based. I remember in 92 you could easily get an Amiga 500 for under $500 that this sold for. People were upgrading and stores were doing clearances of old stock. So it competed with a flood of Amiga 500s.

We have a better model, but it's an ecuation so horrible that nobody want to solve it.

Luckly, sometimes the exact solution can be very accuately aproximated with a wave ecuation.

Luckly, sometimes the exact solution can be very accuately aproximated with a particle ecuation.

(Sometimes, the exact solution can be aproximated saying that the lowest energy state is an eigenvector of the Schoedinger equation. Is that a wave? It's not localized, but not very wavy.)

But neither are the exact solution, just aproximations that solve tpgether 99% of the experiment.

It's difficult to explain, because to explaing the detials you need like two years of algebra and calculus and then like another 2 years of physics, and now you get a degree in physics.

It's possible to solve the difficult ecuation only in very simple cases like electron-electron colissions, if you allow some cheating and a tiny error. For more complicated systems like electron-muon there are some problems. And for more complicated systems, you get more technical problems and more aproximations.
That's the law. Perhaps we shouldn't give the president, or any one person, that much authority?

I feel that "budget A1200" is a misnomer. The IDE port was its strongest addition, but internally it's still just an A500 with ECS instead of OCS, and that never really panned out as leverage. Not even the additional 512KB of chipmem made a splash. No more than a handful of titles, productivity and games alike, took any advantage of it. Incomparable to the upgrade seen with AGA and a 14 MHz 020.

I have previously used graph-easy[1] to turn Graphviz/DOT files into ASCII for code comments.

The Hypercuriosity Theory of ADHD
It's a lovely set of sentiments. I think another aspect of UI that has been lost is discoverability - finding out how to do things in a new interface seems harder than it used to be when there was one app-level menu bar. Too many things are hidden in context menus, found only by right-clicking or long pressing on just the right spot. A set of multi-modal interfaces might just make discoverability even worse.
I also don't understand this. AFAIK "particle" in this context means quantized unit rather than contiguous solid object. And I see no reason why a quantized unit of a wave can't propagate through two slits simultaneously. But my level of understanding here is YouTube level so if you know more please correct me.

Hollow Core Fiber: What is it and why should you be interested [video]
Tbh I'm starting to believe that Lix is a great litmus test to determine if someone was honest about "not caring" about gender identity.

People who opposed the introduction of gender politics in mainline Nix, but now also dislike Lix... what on earth do they want? It's starting to sound like they just want transgender people to be unhappy.

To your parent poster: you got what you wanted, "they" are "gone". What are you afraid of? That they're better? Even if they did reject contributions from cis people: let them! What if transgender people are inherently better programmers and we hold them back? What an amazing way this would be to find out.
