I love that you actually posted here.

Yeah, I get it... I'm just continuously surprised by what constitutes insight. The idea of shifting away from our car-centered urban designs is pretty old; AFAIK the electric car was always seen as a way to get away from the disadvanta

While scripting could be used for time-based animations, the preference was to use the declarative SMIL. Scripting support was intended to allow more sophisticated interactive graphics.

SVG was the result of an effort to make an open standard for vector graphics. As is typical for open standards, it wasn't an entirely novel concept. There were several competing alternatives; IIRC, SVG was one of half a dozen proposals

That sounds like a workable model for vector graphics in browsers; it's just not describing SVG's design. It very deliberately was meant to contain not just vector model, but also a dynamic/interactive environment. From the s

They call it "multikernel", but it's really more the standard "microkernel hosting kernels" model. On small devices, they don't include the Linux support, but it supports a Linux Kernel Abstraction Layer that i

No, we haven't. Could be both a fair minded and competent officer for all we know.

I'm kind of confused by the title. This shouldn't be a surprise/news as SVG explicitly uses JavaScript as its scripting language. That's why there's an SVG DOM. Yes you can do animations with SMIL, but JavaScript is

Kind of a nonsense headline. The claim is that it is 3x more efficient with memory than Linux. What it actually means is that it has a kernel that is a fraction of the size of the Linux kernel. At the core of HarmonyOS is LiteOS, which has

Sigh. No, it doesn't mean that both sides of Hanlon's razor equal racism. It does mean that Hanlon's razor doesn't rule out racism. Hanlon's razor isn't about proof. It's about recognizing that one often p

Evolution doesn't say that humans are the "successors" to monkeys. I grew up in Canada and read the McDonald Commission's report (well some of it), and was there when CSIS was created. Saying it's the "successo

Walmart was the recipient of the fraudulent transactions. Amazon was used to obfuscate. The difference between triangular fraud and straight fraud is mostly whether the recipient is in on it.

It's less a "neat tautology" and more a demonstration that Hanlon's razor isn't as useful in this situation one might think.

Particularly given that the RCMP still exists, I don't accept your assertion that CSIS is its successor.

Yes, I do not think one can draw conclusions. However, much as one might wish to apply Hanlon's razor, Occam's razor also applies, and from a lot of people's perspective it cuts towards racism.

The FBI also does intelligence work. What's different is that in Canada the RCMP take in local policing responsibilities where there's no local resources to do so themselves.

Police incompetence has a way of being disproportionately common depending on your race. Knowing definitively that is what is happening here without a lot more context is difficult, but it's entirely possible this is textbook racism.

Fossil fuels are effectively infinite if they last for the entire length of the game.

Like you said, wind takes decades to get ROI. Solar though, at least the right kind of solar project is cheaper than even coal: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jan/30/us-coal-more... . It's

It's also that LNG is also a relatively "new tech" that is replacing older tech. As the article mentions, it's only 3% of the world's supply. There's a lot of other reasons not to want natural gas to be expen

As he said, it's not that the world ends. It's that the game is less fun and with fewer players.

Yeah, it's not clear that the appetite has been underestimated. It seems like a lot of the current nuclear projects are developing a source taste.

Wait. What this analysis seems to suggest is that the exercise (as long as it is a significant increase) actually encourages metabolic adaption.
