How dare you belittle the new Super Ultra Nitro Deluxe Gold Platinum emoji, stickers, and playable sound effects.

Chest freezers cannot be compared to household kitchen refrigerator-freezer combinations. There's way, way, way less complexity.

* No need to split & balance the refrigeration between fridge & freezer

* No expectation of a defrost cycle on the freezer

* Generally less stuff: no water or ice dispenser, less lights, less fancy bins & trays & veg drawers etc.

* Chest freezers get opened less, and the top-opening lid lets less cold out when they are opened, and without the defrost cycle the compressor just doesn't have to work as hard.

* Usually greater consumer tolerance for these items being large/heavy machinery so the designers don't even have to worry too hard about keeping things compact.

> it could be the cheapest way to travel

Inter-city buses are the cheapest way to travel if you don't own a car. For example a train ticket NYC->Washington DC is over $100. A bus ticket for the same trip is $30.

The train will be more comfortable and possibly faster, though.

> Getting SARS-Cov-2 without getting an mRNA shot allows the body to develop durable immunity

The HermanCainAward reddit is full of counterexamples of unvaccinated people who got sick more than once and died from the 2nd or 3rd battle.

With everything that's happened in the past decade, don't we know that already by know?

> So at any point, you could select an artist and see both their albums and tracks. Or you could select no artist and see all albums and all tracks. You could select an album there and see all tracks in that album. You could pick a track from the full list, etc.

iTunes does this on the desktop. It shows up as filter panes at the top of the master tracks list, allowing you to narrow the list by selecting one or more genres, artist or album. And selecting items from any of those filter lists narrows the other lists accordingly (e.g. select an artist and it reduces the albums list to the albums they own or appear on and the genres list to only those genres in the filtered tracks).

I mean, most of the actual work-work Gebru did was investigating to see if a bias existed in certain things. As we do more things or as those things change, that testing will have to be expanded or at least repeated.

An ethical review is like QA, you never really "finish" it unless you stop developing altogether.

I understand this is a fairly technical article but I really wish there were photos of the drainage and sewage systems being talked about, particularly with respect to the clogging and illegal infill/building, instead of just pictures of Karachi's of flooded roads. It would really help to visualize just how much of the planned/built flood control flows have been compromised by corrupt development.

Maybe, but I don't think so. Before this interview, Moore shows a number of clips from news networks and other talking heads blaming the crime on all sorts of things -- video games, music, etc. Then later Moore interviews the very level-headed parent of a victim who says nobody from any news organization tried to talk to him or listen to what he had to say.

The idea I believe Moore is trying to convey is that news people told the community & survivors why this happened, placing blame according to their own biases (or those of their corporation), instead of asking and investigating and listening. This ties into the title of the film and the result of the next interview with the two survivors: the perpetrators were also heavily into bowling, so how come nobody was blaming that?

Manson may still have misinterpreted the question but his answer does make sense in the context of what Moore shows -- that nobody went and actually listened to the people in the community.

My friends & I watched the South Park movie on an almost monthly basis at the time and frankly I remember feeling like they'd completely butchered the song. The whole point is that blaming Canada is arbitrary and deflects from solving the real issues, hence why the song in the film barely says anything about Canada at all: the only two actual references are to hockey and Anne Murray because of course that's all the bumpkins of South Park are going to know about the place.

Then the Oscar performance comes along and Robin Williams pads the song with a lot more references to actual people from Canada and I think it ruins the point. The people of South Park don't want details or to know anything about the problem, they want an easy target to blame and a rousing call to go kick ass.

The joke's even continued when Sheila gives her morale-boosting speech to the troops, and can't even think of what the Canadian army would be attacking with: "Men, when you're out there in the battlefield, and you're looking into the beady eyes of a Canadian as he charges you with his hockey stick or whatever he has..."

> Marilyn Manson famously told Michael Moore in 2002’s Bowling for Columbine that, rather than saying anything to Harris and Klebold, if given the chance, he would instead opt to listen to them, because “that’s what no one did.”

Wrong. The quote wasn't about talking to the perpetrators. Moore was asking Manson what he would tell the victim's parents, the community, the other kids at the school, and he said he would listen instead.

It then cuts to Moore interviewing two surviving kids from the school.

Probably regular potatoes; they are incredibly calorie-dense and resilient.

The server can put messages into whatever folders it wants. Different folders can even put the same message into multiple meta-folders. The whitelist can be stored as a message (as basically a file) in a config folder. This is pretty straightforward IMAP.

Again I'm not arguing that IMAP isn't creaky and clumsy but let's not pretend that lack of power is the reason they didn't use it.

What do you think they can do with their custom API that IMAP can't? IMAP has server-side search and a file-based representation of things like configuration. It may not be as easy to write as a JSON API, but once you do, the interface is flexible enough to really accomplish anything.
