IDK if it'd apply here, but there are technically laws on the books in the US against price and purchase discrimination for grocers. It was specifically one of the things Lina Khan was investigating on the way out of office and someth

No, that 47 number is for all incidents in Nigeria. The number of killed is 12 according to this report. I should also mention the fact that these aren't killing "foreign aid workers in order to deny food aid to the enemy".

Yeah, quickly browsing this source it looks like Gaza is the primary location where aid workers are in danger (by a long shot. 181 killed in a year). Followed by Sudan, which is in an active civil war (60 aid workers killed). That's b

Iranians tend to have a little more pigment in their skin and it's not a minority. I get why you'd say this, Iranians don't have particularly dark skin and some are as white as my English/swedish ancestors. > Do Ameri

To add, the primary reason the US supported Iraq was because it didn't want Iran to send oil to the USSR. This was because the US didn't want a communist nation to have a good economy. That's the story of a bunch of the CIAs

For industrial farms, yeah I think that calf doesn't have a happy ending. That said, if you don't want the calf, there's almost always going to be someone that does. We'd raise and then butcher the male calves from our

Easiest place to get it is from the product you want to produce. For example, if you want to make yogurt then grab a little bit of the leftover yogurt in your fridge, drop a dollop of it in, and viola, it'll start the yogurtification p

The article covers that. In short, audio and visual perception do not map perfectly. Humans don't have a linear perception of either so a perfect A to D then D to A conversion yields unsatisfying results.

I disagree with your interpretation of these reports. The ODNI report wasn't saying that Iran was perusing nuclear weapons, but rather that it was stockpiling weapons grade uranium. And, in particular, it calls out the reason they did

Prices have been dropping like crazy as the various battery manufacturers have been competing with each other. They are all pretty similarly priced at this point. A 2kwh ecoflow now costs $800. Still overpriced, but the gap is steadily na

Main difference, electron bundles all of chrome with every app. WebView2 can do that, but the recommended route is one that shares the runtime across multiple apps (what ms does). So you end up with just 1 webview2 on the system + your ap

David is both right and a little off (IMO). Where I think he's off is the assumption that dependencies are the primary reason for performance problems. It's true they are a part of that problem, but it's not the way he'

That will probably be my next GPU. I'm on a 3060 currently and the changes in the 4xxx and 5xxx just aren't appealing to me. As soon as iGPUs get 3060 performance I'll probably switch. And they aren't far off.

Various versions of GTK which introduced breaks but didn't really change the core philosophy of how you build a GTK app. IMO, this is the preferable way to evolve an ecosystem. The problem microsoft has is instead of making "Win3

All the various windows UI frameworks are stable, but not supported and not receiving new updates. That's the problem. And what makes matters worse is because of all the shifts, the documentation throughout MS is in just varying states

Yeah, a striking difference between windows and linux at this point is that the linux UI frameworks are hyper stable. If I want to make a linux desktop app, I'll choose QT or GTK. Heck, if I want to make a windows and macOS app, I&#x

Ok, let's imagine property rights are gone. Now it's impossible to build a fiber line without also employing an armed guard of that line. Sure, the open market allows for anyone to build out their lines where ever they like, but
