Are there things that would tend to identify an establishments connections to the moonies? I.e. some kind of symbolism in decorations?

> Because for all that I think Facebook has been terrible for the world, I’d liked to think of Zuckerberg as civilised.

His position that he no longer needs to be wildly wealthy and his being able to afford PR implies he is a miracle if he is not absolutely corrupt and projecting a lie.

That's strange, I knew a lot about how my society rejected the views of each of my teachers as a child and I feel neither motivation to follow in their footsteps nor try to undermine their particular political constellations. If those people were all related to me and I couldn't get away from them I might feel a bit different.

Personally, I find the idea of watching social media self-optimization hi-def videos very bizarre. I would view self optimization as youthful thoughts relating to ideals with very little awareness of other people, especially living ones who achieve some enlightenment and then collect likes, eat.. The written word makes a lot more sense for that.

I felt like the early web lived up to this, though in retrospect it may have already been in quality decline compared to the earlier (Internet&BBS) protocols.

Most credible is a credit union for your banking, a broker for your stocks, a Nigerian Prince for your crypto money market "account".

Land use for cereal production has been going up [0], so increasing amounts could be ruined while total production is up.

Following the article's link to another article, it sounds like BA has been stable in providing this route since 2014, while two other airlines have each predicted enough raised demand to support them and then eventually exited.

I've known restaurants that existed to be overflow for a better restaurant right next door in a place with high demand.

Sata has a standardized data port and a standardized power port. The power port usually has multiple voltages connected which would complicate things if they mattered.

Reading the article, I was actually thinking of Winston's girlfriend Julia and how wonderfully well she would do at Ofsted.

AFAICR the GDPR is far better written than people claimed, you don't have to believe you are a data controller to be fined. So I view their statements as similar to Nixon's "I am not a crook".

Your point is irrational, no one is accusing the dead of war crimes.

> In general, it's hard to argue that people who condemn Mr Cosgrove's statement should be ostracized, while simultaneously claiming a lack of bias.

I don't see any disconnect as I didn't claim to be a block of wood. If we are going to ostracize people for supporting things, it should be people who support crimes in the state of high emotion. I sure wish they were ostracized after September 11th.

I don't really agree with your summary of his position given the quote in the article:

"War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are,"

That is a reminder that crimes against humanity are more serious than political sides. Israelis and Palestinians who have massacred civilians must equally face consequences. People who are angry at that quote are the ones to ostracize.

If someone is making their own Kefir, the grains can also be converted to water Kefir to ferment something non-dairy.

Facts are basically incapable of having the market dynamics of land, even with a total draconian rework of IP law.

Most SSDs are 5V only, so I assume Orange Pi users just get an adequate wall wart.

Yes, but this is bi-coastal fremdschämen, I guess the waves are supposed to cancel each other out.

We don't really need precision dating to know the headline is proposing something extremely unlikely.

Ethnic differences among groups that aren't extremely isolated are mostly gibberish perpetuated with cultural identity politics.

Offspring tends to go in one direction or another so one group may end up inbred, but a mix is more accurate than compiling the beliefs of human cultures about their genetic traits and isolation from each other.

> NEMA’s debt-service coverage ratio, which measures the ability of a property’s cash flow to pay its debt, has been below 1 since 2020, a troubling sign for the ability of the developer to control the building.

The cap calculation on the property has also been fixed by cutting the price in half, but more importantly a new commercial owner would at least be able to service a loan based on the new value.. While the cap rate could be such that expectations are insufficient for debt service, I think that means there are no realistic buyers.

Interest rates have doubled in the last 2 years, so rents being flat roughly corresponds to asking price of about half..

> Now, if you think this is just "3rd world..

Quite the contrary, I am impressed. The trouble with the corruption perception index is that it rewards any systemic corruption that can limit perception above a transparent system.

We should create an internal tool that relies on a framework which needs quarterly code changing updates for a yearly(?) administrative process with less than 24 candidates?

IMO the arguments people make in frontend are similar to the infinite scaling requirements in back end that require 10X overpriced machine rental.

Whether or not the current site could ever be appropriate for all 10 billion users, a developer wants the universal skills tuned to the top end.

A university HR employee OTOH probably realizes they won't code themselves if they end up at the largest employer on Earth.

It's been a good month to sell submarines in Scotland, less water resistant vehicles maybe not..

I'd say its more a lack of R&D than quality overall.. I kind of expect a lot of Europeans to continue paying 4X more for cars that are 45% European and maybe have one or two strategic pieces of design but mostly just traditional quality cosmetics.

That is still a lay off. If the company is acquired you don't get to pick and choose what contracts it had are valid, you have to argue your new contract is similar employment terms or you have laid someone off.
