Have a look in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include/dbus. If you find it in there you may have to manually add that to your include paths in gcc.

Subatomic particles act in insane ways that are absolutely not mechanical or predictible. A very limited size of object behaves “normally”. I think believing that the universe mostly acts like our everyday objects is the skewed perspective.

I was on the younger side so it was mostly flash game and animation sites. Homestar runner, albinoblacksheep, miniclip, addicting games, runescape.

I think this is a little doom and gloom for what is a very well intentioned project with an independent oversight board. Is the theory here that a paper receiving this funding would hesitate to expose corruption or be critical of local projects? To be honest, it’s just not enough money. $100,000 a year being split among several local news orgs is a nice donation that pays part of someone’s salary.

I wonder if corporate funding is the only way to get professional news or not.

That’s definitely not what the author is implying. Direct corporate funding has all the same potential problems but with less oversight, more money, and with way more things to hide.

It claims to reflect radiating heat from the sun and blacktop in a way bare skin doesn’t. The same principal as wearing white, billowy clothing in deserts rather than just being naked.

And if you overthrew the ruling class, you’d still want to know how the new system was affecting various demographics. All systems have biases and the only way to account for them is to know about them.

These types of figures are still important to know. You want to see if certain populations are being affected disproportionately and have a baseline to work from when seeing how policy changes are working.

If you make a policy change and see recovery overall but you’re still getting 52% of Latinos reporting insecurity, you’ve done something wrong and you have data to back it up.

It’s renewable on the timeframe of tens of years as opposed to millions of years for crude oil. The carbon released from trees was sequestered not that long ago. It’s still not clean to burn but it is distinct from fossil fuels in its origin and impact.

Star fortresses only became common after the invention of cannon artillery. That’s exceedingly modern for this type of nonsense.
