I once saw a man in Delhi with a literal cloud of flies permanently stationed above his head. I thought that was just a cartoon trope but I realised then that it was an actual thing.
Sensodyne Pronamel is SLS free and has fluoride.
Tech just isn’t his expertise.
Mehta has been described as an avid fan of hip hop music. In a 2015 copyright case regarding the similarity of two songs, Mehta noted in a footnote that he was "not a ‘lay person’ when it comes to hip-hop music and lyrics,” and noted he has "listened to hip hop for decades". American rappers Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye West and Canadian rapper Drake are among his favorite artists.
We’ve got enough to make sausages with it.
Never been to India, huh?
The cipher used by Mary Queen of Scots in the 1500s was just broken this year. It’s a good example of how communications were secured back in the day.
I think people in the future will look back on how we raise livestock today as barbaric.
How can a human be illegal? And which law governs the Titanic sub’s operation?
Instance-agnostic links to posts would be good too.
I mean, “marshmallow” has a more interesting derivation than most of the other words I’ve seen so far.
Althaea officinalis, the marsh mallow or marshmallow, is a species of flowering plant indigenous to Europe, Western Asia and North Africa, which is used in herbalism and as an ornamental plant. A confection made from the root since ancient Egyptian times evolved into today's marshmallow treat.
Evangelicals are an almost entirely US phenomenon. In the rest of the world, Protestant countries like Germany and the UK are more liberal than Catholic countries like Ireland and Italy. For example, Italy “legalised” abortion in 1978 but the vast majority of gynaecologists refuse to perform them on religious grounds. Ireland didn’t legalise until… 2019!
It’s not being sold off. It’s an investment. Raspberry Pi has suffered from supply shortages that could be mitigated by entering into a partnership with Arm — and which would help further its charitable goals. Sales were down by more than a quarter in 2022 due to shortages.
And Arm isn’t the only minority shareholder. Sony, which manufactures its boards in Wales, also owns a stake.
These aren’t unusual commercial decisions to secure manufacturing and supply, and therefore maximise the dividend it pays to the foundation, while retaining majority control.
That’s not the origin of the term “red tape”. Binding documents with tape is as old as documents, and the practice of using red tape for important documents is hundreds of years old. Dickens used the term in one of his novels before the Civil War had even started.
It’s the same in many fields. Trainees learn by doing the easy, repetitive work that can now be automated.
Separation requirements vary. In the UK, plastic bottle caps are generally tethered to the bottle now to prevent people from separating them.
This is unlikely. The sub has multiple (like seven I think) different ways of resurfacing, some of which are purely mechanical and work even with a complete power failure. It could’ve got trapped in a fishing net, but it would still be pinging in that case. There are only really two other scenarios: it’s resurfaced and is bobbing around in the sea (unlikely) or the pressure vessel failed and it was instantly crushed to the size of a tin can.
Edit: Also, running out of oxygen in a situation like this isn't horrible. The BBC once did a documentary about the most humane way to execute people and it settled on nitrogen-induced hypoxia. Here's the part where the presenter (a former British politician) experiences hypoxia: https://vimeo.com/83750163#t=2235s
Did some people think they were progressives?
Those European rules don’t apply in the US. You can also make parmigiano reggiano in the US.
Your data isn’t just being sold to advertisers. There are all kinds of companies that are willing to pay big bucks to get near real-time insights into consumer behaviour, prices, manufacturing and anything else that can be tracked somehow.
Edit: And there’s a near 0% chance that you’re not part of a dataset that’s being sold to someone, somewhere…
Most of the old one’s been recovered so could probably be up and running in no time…
The sub has seven different ways to re-surface and went silent during the descent phase, so there’s only really one likely option — crushed in an instant. It could get stuck at depth if it got tangled but that seems unlikely during the descent.~___~
Definitely. Make it halloumi and ain’t nobody got a problem.
It wasn’t just Fukushima. There was a massive flood in Thailand at the same time that shut down a load of suppliers. It was a really bad bit of luck but they did learn from that.
Hitler’s mother, for those considering it: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/Klara_Polz_Hitler.jpg
To be fair, it’s easy to make up examples that fit the anti-woke trope — just name any movie, game or TV show with strong female/non-straight/minority characters that didn’t achieve record sales. That Scooby-Doo show, She Hulk, the Cleopatra thing, etc.
English used to do this too. The most famous example is the first line of Lincoln’s Gettysburg address:
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Yellowbeard. Starring Peter Cook, most of Monty Python, Cheech and Chong, Marty Feldman, Spike Milligan… what’s not to love?
But why not just beep after that? What’s the point of beeping before the door is unlocked?
Some whales have menopause too I think.
Just to be clear, Apple isn't asking the Swiss apple growers to change their logo. And it definitely isn't forcing them.
I assmue some journalist saw Apple making a very boring Swiss trademark application and decided to call up a local company with an apple in its logo to see what they thought about it. There's zero chance the company will have to re-brand.
The US apple industry uses an apple logo without any problem: https://usapple.org/
They didn’t assume most people are US-based. They assumed the DMV would be the most widely recognised and understood example to use.
It’s illegal to park in front of fire hydrants so you’d want a self-driving car to know that. However, I think Tesla is pretty much the only company using cameras for self-driving cars (rather than lidar/radar), so not sure this is the real reason for the captchas. Knowing where hydrants are would be useful for Google Maps too.
Isn’t that how all constellations came about?
It’s true that a lot of data isn’t sold, but a large chunk of the figure you quote also seems to include business data — stuff that contains zero personal information but is still hugely valuable to companies and investors (look at how much this report costs, for example, or consider that a Bloomberg terminal costs around $25k/yr).
And remember, those investment buyers make up a big chunk of the consumer data market too and are only interested in aggregated insights to inform trading strategies. They don’t care about personal info or targeted ads.
My dogs would shit themselves if a robot started vacuuming. I mean, they shit themselves when I do it, so I can only imagine…
Yeah, there’s very little communication with the sub, just short text messages and sonic pings, both of which have gone silent.
We now have an early-warning system that can predict when an earthquake will hit, uh… somewhere on the planet.
The Real Engineering video used as an example here is excellent.
It's even worse than that. X is used so widely in trademarks that it's guaranteed to attract lawsuits. Facebook had to settle several claims over the change to Meta, and the use of X is a much bigger problem than that. And Musk is so dumb that he'll probably try to fight them and end up paying a fortune in legal fees anyway.
