Does $9,000 seem a bit low for the cost of adding windows to all the relevant restrooms in a school district?

He might hypothetically veto legislation (which would never get through Congress anyway), but he'll appoint Supreme Court justices who will effectively do the same thing.

A typical use case is to forward a single port to the proxy, then set the proxy to map different subdomains to different machines/ports on your internal network. Anything not explicitly mapped by the reverse proxy isn’t visible externally.

Contemporaneous news reports in Nebraska indicated that Mr. Walz was still in his home state during the spring and did not leave for China until August.

Any link to these contemporaneous news reports?

I think it’s a toy meant to warn children about the hazard of leaving rolling objects underfoot. Imagine how fast you’d yeet off if you accidentally stepped on one of those rolling discs!

Maybe he worked a few years at a temp agency?

Like other states, California won’t financially penalize violators, but it will post the names of violators on the state Department of Justice’s website.

Sounds like the state is just giving the violators free advertising to potential donors who want to exploit the practice.

The theory you’re referring to sounds like the free energy principle (or a variation of it).

Yeah. In my case, though, a lot of my library consists of relatively expensive reference works that I use regularly and that would be prohibitive to replace if Amazon decided to play games with them.

Did they mean to say “overzealous”?

Because a “zealous” prosecutor is just one committed to doing their job.

Yeah—I finally got a physical Kindle in part to simplify the process of downloading and backing up my ebooks.

To be fair, though, their devices and apps have mutually-incompatible file formats, so if the only point of downloading a file were to put it on an offline Kindle via USB (which is the only use case they acknowledge), they’d need to know what device you’ve got so they can convert the file to an appropriate format.

 

To clarify: I’m not suggesting animals think all sounds are songs—just that songbirds and humans are the only common animals that combine sounds into arbitrary sequences where each individual sound doesn’t have a single fixed meaning.

 

The Elitzur–Vaidman bomb-tester is a quantum mechanics thought experiment that uses interaction-free measurements to verify that a bomb is functional without having to detonate it. It was conceived in 1993 by Avshalom Elitzur and Lev Vaidman. Since their publication, real-world experiments have confirmed that their theoretical method works as predicted.
