Tinny cellphone speakers play noisy, low-fidelity speech audio captured with a mic that's likely clipping and compressing the caller's voice (audio-wise, not data-wise, although that too is happening and likely doesn't help). Actual people speaking is broad-band, has full fidelity and dynamics, and is directional and context sensitive
You've made a diagram showing statistics of immigration encounters, and from that you deduced that prisons are being emptied into the US? Bit of a stretch. The diagram is nice, but you're missing the point: the picture being painted for you that you're trying to prop up is false.
Turn off Fox News dude - you're severely lacking perspective of your own country. Everyone outside of the US media sphere(or rather spheres - there's two) laughs at your news media and how entrenched misinformation has become.
This comment is a wordy nothingburger. You haven't defined what capital-S science is, so therefore your strawman can be anything you need it to be later if you bother to elaborate.
Google has OR Tools team that runs a publicly accessible discord. There's quite a few folk in there with industry experience who will likely be able to answer questions in the off-topic channel. Unfortunately I can't be of further assistance, but I hope this helps.
I sincerely hope you're never in a situation where you have to flee your country of citizenship, but if you are, you'll know then how cruel this sentiment is.
Pink money is a marketing term, it's attracting sales from gay men. Rainbow capitalism is pro-LGBTQ virtue signaling in order to make your company more palatable to investors and/or the public
You're absolutely right, not just mothers should be able to participate. However, the physical and emotional effects and trauma of childbirth are borne by women alone, so they're usually the party that needs to be incentivised. We're also operating within the social framework of Japan, which is deeply patriarchal.
Radical idea: treat mothers as professionals. Train them, certify them, give them resources and support networks, then pay them to raise kids until school age or even beyond. It is a full time job, and should be treated as such if governments want to incentivise childbirth.
The VLC media player app is pretty decent - not the best UI ever, but it's pretty good for what it is. It'll play almost any audio file you throw at it, plus most video files to boot. On iOS it's easiest to load media via the local webserver it runs for exactly that purpose, as apps are quite ringfenced when it comes to accessing data.
Labour is the largest expense in almost any enterprise. Being able to cut down on this is a low hanging fruit for reducing costs and improving margins.
I don't think Buffett himself chose these investments, so it's just namebaiting to mention him in the headline. Since these plants run at a loss (coal power in the US is notoriously lossy), I'd say they're either part of a larger energy portfolio or they're a strategic investment in anticipation of dropping in a modular nuclear reactor. There's quite a compelling business case for converting older coal-fired stations this way, as most of the infrastructure (steam turbines, transformer yards, HV transmission lines) is already in place.
'Cancel culture' isn't a government sanctioned censure of an individual, it's actions taken by private parties toward another private party that they no longer wish to do business with because of public pressure or public image issues. Sounds pretty free market to me.
A better formula would be (mileage) * (((highest axle load)^4) * no. of axles) * (per mile fee), which would incentivise loads being evenly spread over as many axles as practically possible. This would be a huge boon to road health and longevity.
The impact of a vehicle upon a road's health scales by the fourth power of the axle load. Heavy vehicles have an absolutely massive impact on roads to the point that compact cars should be paying negligible road usage fees in comparison.
To clarify, we're talking about the idea that colonial subjugation might not have been any worse than the power structures that were displaced in terms of excess deaths. This is not the same as saying the British built railways, and also demonstrably untrue, both statistically and philosophically. A passing knowledge on the horrors of colonialism would qualify one to identify this idea as colonial apologism.
Yes - being able to choose to pursue or discourage professional or personal relationships with coworkers allows for healthier interpersonal boundaries, both implicit and explicit.
Exactly. I only break out SPs when I absolutely need to squeeze as much performance from my data store as possible. I'd rather pay for more horizontal scaling than push my logic across a system boundary where it's difficult to monitor and debug, because bugs in SPs are probably the single costliest class of bug in a prod system.
Which is weird, because whenever there's a high-profile police shooting the media goes out of their way to dig up dirt on the victim to morally justify the shooting.
This is kind of stupid, even if you're not pro-EV. There are some military situations where an EV logistically and operationally makes sense, by virtue of not having a noisy fire hazard as a power train. Even the navy seals used to have (might still have) a recon vehicle that was electric because it allowed them to be quiet.
Not really, it just tells you the calibre of the pistol, and maybe some details on the loading mechanism of you're lucky enough to get distinctive marks on the casing.
