Evangelicals are an almost entirely US phenomenon. In the rest of the world, Protestant countries like Germany and the UK are more liberal than Catholic countries like Ireland and Italy. For example, Italy “legalised” abortion in 1978 but the vast majority of gynaecologists refuse to perform them on religious grounds. Ireland didn’t legalise until… 2019!
Proof they aren’t American-trained…
I think people in the future will look back on how we raise livestock today as barbaric.
You Oughta Know isn’t even from the 21st century.
It seems like Vision Pro allows selective focusing.
Aviation types still hang out on Pprune.org.
That’s like 1% of critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The rest are random bloggers and the food/entertainment critic of the Springfield Courier.
What does that ~70% refer to? Japan is about 5% of Apple’s global revenue and iOS is installed on around 50% of Japanese phones.
You got some of the words right.
The BoJ measures inflation to help it manage the economy. It’s not a political tool. As an individual, changes in your cost of living are personal to you. You don’t need the central bank or the government to tell you about it.
Obviously, the BoJ isn’t focused on individuals. It wants to see what’s happening across the whole economy. Through research that is freely available, it has determined that the index provides a more reliable signal when volatile fresh food prices are excluded (because the things that typically cause these prices to change, like the weather, don’t reflect a broad shift in the economy).
You’re wrong that energy isn’t included. That sentence is referring to a different (“core-core CPI”) index, which is higher at 4% because energy prices have gone down. Japan’s energy problems are as result of the post-Fukushima shift from nuclear, largely a result of public opinion.
Put simply, CPI isn’t a measure of “cost of living“. It’s a tool for central bank policy.
A huge amount of the pollution comes from farmers burning stubble. The solution to that isn’t complex.
Louis talks about this exact issue on his Hot Ones interview.
It’s not being sold off. It’s an investment. Raspberry Pi has suffered from supply shortages that could be mitigated by entering into a partnership with Arm — and which would help further its charitable goals. Sales were down by more than a quarter in 2022 due to shortages.
And Arm isn’t the only minority shareholder. Sony, which manufactures its boards in Wales, also owns a stake.
These aren’t unusual commercial decisions to secure manufacturing and supply, and therefore maximise the dividend it pays to the foundation, while retaining majority control.
I’ve had chicken sashimi in Japan. Who needs Mexican food?
I worked at a factory once where the day shifts swapped each week (6am-2pm and 2pm-10pm), but the night shift was just the night shift. And those fuckers were like ghouls.
So is My Dad Wrote a Porno, isn’t it?
However, Reply All’s PJ Vogt has a new podcast called Search Engine which is good.
People don’t “need” to say that.
How is it being used against you?
Are they alleging that Mastercard sells data with personally identifiable information? Because if not, what’s the big deal? The people that buy this data want to know about trends.
Yeah, but we’ve had countless examples of loss-making tech companies with sky-high valuations. Amazon didn’t make a profit for something like 20 years. Investors of course want returns, but they can differ on the timeframe they’re willing to wait for them.
