Laugh, trough, tough, rough. Maybe it should be "Vawfan"

I don't know him or this case, but lawyers tend to often feel that way about the cases they are representing. I wouldn't think that means he's not billing.

Works in Virginia quite well.

It's ubiquitous in some regions in the US. I suspect where it's not is both very mild climates where you hardly ever use it, and severe cold where until recently heat pumps were not sufficient. Also probably old buildings.

This is a real problem, but I suspect the reason is more laziness than increasing power. That's no score card on number of classified documents one has access to.

Rather, it is time consuming and risky to determine classification level. No one is going to get in trouble for mistakenly over classifying something, but theoretically risks jail and fines for under classifying a document, not to mention the real harm that could arise from such an error.

It's important to realize the vast majority of people will not get to that certain point. Sure, you may not want to be as large as some of the famous body builders, but don't worry! That takes living your entire life organized around the central goal of getting bigger. If you are going to the gym for an hour 3 days a week you will never get to that point.

Crows tend to also be game animals, so states manage the populations and set bag limits, seasons, etc. In my state it is definitely legal, and one doesn't even need HIP registration.

Airgun would be sufficient for crows and squirrels, is safer to use in densely populated areas, and comes with less regulation everywhere. Still a good idea to check game regulations on your targets though.

Is this policy for a specific kind of Amazon account? I didn't recall seeing anything in the TOS, and they appear to have first class support for people with multiple accounts.

Not just us. Both terrestrial and ocean ecosystems depend on salmon.

I think it's a reference to "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Knowing Earth was going to be destroyed the dolphins leave, but they leave behind a message which when decoded translates to "so long and thanks for all the fish" (referring to how dolphins had trained humans to give them a fish when they did tricks).

I'm surprised such actions aren't treated like spoliation, in which the court assumes the worst of evidence intentionally destroyed by a party.

It's fun, it's an outdoors activity, and as far as I know you can't really get the mushrooms you find locally in the grocery store. Using an app to identify mushrooms, however, is a terrifying thought. Maybe it speaks more to people's conceptions of the capabilities of modern technology.

If you want to get into foraging, there are some really easy to identify safe ones without dangerous lookalikes. Get a good identification book on the topic. Don't listen to random strangers on the Internet, and don't trust apps.

He wasn't tried as a criminal. This was a civil case between private individuals, under defamation laws. Withholding evidence and perjury, however, are actual crimes.

I almost choked when I saw the headline with that judgement, and I haven't looked into it, but I suspect part of the reason it went so high is because he and his lawyers got caught withholding evidence in discovery and perjurying themselves.

My optimistic belief is the high judgement was due to those extra factors, but maybe a lawyer can correct me.

I agree, for me for this kind of thing it isn't a deal breaker. But for many people it may be.

However, I will say that combined with the freemium model it does give me pause. The reason is I will likely want to add some features that will conflict with the premium version. That means that my changes have near zero chance of getting incorporated into the community version and I'll have to maintain a public fork.

Looks really nice! I could definitely give this a try. For others who are looking for possible deal breakers:

It's AGPL

They have the community version/premium model. Differentiators of premium (from https://photoprism.app/features):

* support

* higher max res (900MP vs. 150MP)

* non-rate limited reverse geocoding

* higher quality maps

* premium themes

* visual configuration options

* hardware video transcoding

About GDB: I really like using KDevelop on linux, and they have a pretty good GDB front-end built in. It's pretty similar to VS debugger, with a panel showing local variables and their values, etc. It's definitely not as full featured as VS, and IIRC there was some instability, but if you're on linux and using C or C++ I highly recommend trying it.

This is great communication advice. Your original state sounds a lot like the "asker" vs. "guesser" cultural problem [1]. I've found putting a label on those two outlooks to be very helpful.

Yes, it was the only way to do the weird optimizations and tricks needed to make a cutting edge real time game like Mario.

Even in the '90s developers embedded assembly in the performance critical areas of C code.

I don't think sending video is a likely scenario if the sender wants to be understood. There are too many ways video could be encoded, even assuming the aliens have the same perceptual capabilities we have.

Flipping it around, if we were going to do send a message to the universe would we send an h.265 bgr video with aac audio in streaming mp4 format?

The only thing you can know for sure you have in common with someone receiving your radio signal is that they can receive radio signals, so using something about radio transmission would be a good bet for building a lexicon. Then there's the universal constants and mathematics which we could assume are known in common.

If you're going to pay by credit anyway, you can usually open a tab when you start, and then pay all at once at the end. That's how I've always done it, maybe it's regional?

TFA asserts that MMT lacks a model, and instead is a collection of ideological policies with a facade of science. If true, that puts it outside the above definition of economic theory as well.

The author mentions how good KDEConnect is, but I don't think one can overstate how cool it is. Having a youtube video on my computer pause when my cell phone rings, and resume when I hang up; use my phone as a mouse on my computer from across the room, or use media controls on my phone to control whatever is playing; (the list goes on and on). It's the first technology that has made me feel like I'm living in the future in a good way.

Using Google's Gboard (stock on my phone), long press allows copy or paste. Selecting the text to copy is annoying, though.

Since the phrase is an article title it follows the capitalization rules. It does get confusing with proper nouns sometimes, so there is a slight ambiguity. In this case it's probably also confusing that the ending of collapse is the same for plural and different tenses.

If UBI could be implemented in around the same cost as the welfare programs it replaces, it would have a net zero effect on inflation. The downside of nearly all current forms of welfare (in the U.S.) is that they largely enforce the poverty gap. You get to a point where a small increase in pay causes a large decrease in benefits, and you become trapped unless you can get a large enough pay increase to jump the gap.

The two big ifs are: would UBI be the same cost as current welfare programs, and can we actually get rid of current welfare if we roll out UBI? There is a tremendous amount of overhead involved in current welfare programs, so it's not unreasonable that the first question is could be resolved. Politically, the second issue seems unlikely to be implemented.

I consider typing speed the I/O of the operation. Sure there's some processing time while you think of what to type, but regardless of how long that takes, typing will slow it down further. I'm not perfectly parallelized in thinking/typing pipelines.
