> It is reasonable to assume "built-in integer" means "int". This strikes me as a little nuts for C but it definitely explains this thread. I just assumed people had already switched over to e.g. sint32/size_t to

Qualitative reviews, not quantitative. This is only crappy as a scalable business. > Are they generally better...than picking a restaurant at random? Depends on what you’re looking for, but I’ve had much better success off yelp than on i

Why did you arrive at this confusion? Why would you assume your observations are relevant to the use case?

If you think even basic social interactions are lacking for suffering, you’re wrong.

For reference, SLS refers to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Launch_System FWIW SpaceX is exactly the kind of phenomenon that might spur state investment.

How are you envisioning this library being used?

Sure, it definitely works great.

Is there a transcript somewhere?

Relying on profit-motivated companies to consistently provide value at safety critical levels seems short sighted.

That doesn’t give the consumer any power here. It should be trivial to disable this metadata scraping feature. It doesn’t improve results so why should i support this?

What do you mean by disallowing? Regulation is extremely specific for a reason. If it works, yea, that would substantially raise the quality of reporting. Google just seems trivially regulatable compared to “journalists”.

> They denounce China and Russia for their human rights records in one breath, and seek to strip us of privacy and personal rights in the next - the hypocrisy is simply staggering. Politicians, generally, are not hypocrites. That implies

Honestly I’d rather google stopped with this knowledge base/metadata extraction and focused on search. They’re trying to be star trek but they’re more like a concierge for existing businesses, and they aren’t much help where there isn’

It seems like the winning move here for public health would be to increase the supply of legal product to drain demand from the black market.

Just curious, what does “immediately visible” mean?

Assuming there’s a lack of toxic effects because a human has not yet named any is fallacious. Safety is inherently impossible to demonstrate with certainty.

Maybe the issue is viewing relationships in terms of points and winning.

Based on US media coverage, nobody knows any data points about the safety of vaping at all.

You already shouldn’t do black market vapes. This doesn’t change anything; it’s not like black market vapes were state approved before.

While less common, San Pellegrino does come in a plastic bottle. I’m curious why they didn’t include the packaging in the graphic of the brand breakdown linked elsewhere, seems like this is a super relevant variable.

Why?

> In the presence of a black market producing toxic products, prohibition is a reasonable response. How do you figure? Prohibition will drive UP black market usage. Why would you do that?

Sure, but that’s ultimately a per-capita performance metric whose reduction might be acceptable if costs for remote come down, much like accepting that an open office has an acceptable per-capita efficiency decrease. I am perfectly capable

Whose definition of class are you using? There’s a bunch of epistemologies you could be referring to. Many conceptions of class don’t have a middle at all.
