I am Jewish, and that's pretty much how I feel. Israel wants criticism of itself to be seen as antisemitic, which means that anything Israel does that warrants criticism (e.g. killing children) ends up driving people towards antisemiti

Very interesting that it's coming from Google. I did my masters in tokamak simulation, so my first question is about performance. Python is very rarely used in this space just for performance reasons. Even though Python can call out to

If you don’t like running, find an exercise you do enjoy. Running isn’t the only cardio out there. If you’re jumping through hoops to force yourself to enjoy it, try a few other activities. Me, I can only get myself to run if I’m engaged in

I wasn't anywhere that needed accomodation so I cant speak to that. They canceled the flight and booked for the next day, which meant that I had to miss half the conference and the reason that I was making the trip in the first place.

KLM made it really really hard to get compensated for a few flights that they canceled. Ended up going to a company that exists only to litigate these

I believe security staff strikes also qualify. I got burned by that one via KLM

This is, I think, the same idea that has given vinyl such a strong resurgence in the last few years.

You're on the highway going 80 with traffic and all of a sudden you have to stop. In the middle of the highway! How is that not dangerous?

by aqme28 3y ago
Being forced to brake while driving can also be very dangerous. How is this not a problem? And I think you're misusing the word "technically" here.

Those can’t blind you from a distance though. Not nearly the same risk

A BB gun has to be used very intentionally to hurt your eyes. A high-powered laser could blind you because your neighbor is doing some work on his shed and you caught a reflection

A society in which "the average car-buyer" has a tiny portable steel-melting laser is a society where I'm wearing welding goggles every time I leave the house. And I'm not sure how you even lock a bike or a door or a saf

They're offering that price to creators. Beyond that, you're getting into the philosophical argument of what defines a fair price.

> Once those are fixed, I'd embrace congestion pricing. Isn't congestion pricing being used to finance the MTA? I don't understand your complaint here, it seems like they're doing exactly what you want.

Which makes sense, because a train is much more efficient per-person than a car.

Parking takes up a lot of space, and space is obviously at a premium in downtown Manhattan.

Eco-friendly cars are a little better than traditional cars, but public transport is far far better. They're not in the same league.

I think night clubs are always mostly tourist traps in most cities in the world. In Berlin, like other places, there are a few cream-of-the-crop that attract the locals. Interestingly, as an expat/immigrant I've met all my local B

That's what they say about every scene. It's always too late. It's always getting too mainstream.

You're ignoring the network of users they have, which is absolutely the hardest thing to create for an app like this. Any technically superior clone you build can easily lose to Reddit due to its userbase.

If neither you nor they can tell me with any technical detail what they are doing differently from a fusor in terms of construction or operation, then I conclude it's just a fusor. Is it multiple anodes? Is there some magnetic field be

I'm a technical audience. I'd love to see a technical explanation of what their device is. This video is just "an anode" and "electrical power," which basically just sounds like a Farnsworth Fusor. Those are ne
