I believe the line markings is for water when you cook rice.
You add 9 cups of rice (perhaps with the plastic cup that comes in the box), then fill it up to the 9 cup line with water. Once cooked, this will produce perfectly cooked rice.
That's all well and good, but my app got deleted because they told me an app cannot be a webview of a website.
When I raised an appeal, and proved to them how it was a self contained app, they told me an app cannot be a webview of a website.
When I deleted the website they told me that my app was just a webview of (which it wasn't), and then reappealed, they told me an app cannot be a webview of a website, and deleted my app.
So, the lesson here is: Submitting an app that renders using a webview is a gamble and that Google reviewers don't actually review your app.
> Curiously the places with the least foreigners are the most xenophobic ones and vice versa.
That's actually the standard. It's easy to be xenophobic when someone has very little exposure to other cultures. Once they get exposed over a long period of time, people realise that they are just people too.
It’s also easy to be tolerant towards someone you don’t have to interact with. Once you get exposed to other cultures you realize that they are different.
I would say that is more like different cultures have different values:
Different ways of treating women, different ways of treating animals, different ways of treating the ambient, different ways of looking at work, different ways of looking at state, different ways of looking at religion, different ways of looking at morals, different ways of looking at neighbors, different ways of looking at property, different ways of looking at mating (...) While elites from any culture may be open minded and flexible, the average individual is not.
Elites may thrive in a multicultural society but the other incumbents don't. It's not surprising when they idolize any politician that respect them.
I agree with you in part, particularly with why there has been a backlash against multiculturalism. Also with the reality that different cultures tend to have different views to a wide range of issues.
But I’m not sure what you mean by elite. Donald Trump and the whole modern Republican Party are the elites, and I wouldn’t describe them as flexible and open-minded.
Exactly. When your main exposure to other cultures is via tabloid media versions of those cultures, it's not surprising that you believe strange things about them.
Analyse is the "correct" spelling that we're taught in school, but there has been a gradual shift towards American English due to the dominance that Americans have over the media (e.g. "math" instead of "maths"). Analyse/analyze is one of those words that is in transition, and I suspect we'll be using the American spelling in 50 years' time.
In a professional context I've completely abandoned British English. Anything informal I still use it but for writing code and communications it seems more polite especially for people who speak English as a second language.
As much as would have liked it to be the reverse think it's fair to say that American English is now completely dominant worldwide and that will only continue.
This is an extremely good point. So many small idealistic companies are bought out, with the "baggage" of a big loan anyone who did want to buy out Signal for profit would have to now pay 100 million dollars.
If I had oodles of money I'd probably do this, "I'm just giving you this money now, but if you got bought up by someone without those same ideals they need to pay up.”
Given it’s the former WhatsApp CEO even more reason to be skeptical.
I'm reading it as, "Given it’s the former WhatsApp CEO [who's already been burned once, they have] even more reason to be skeptical [of acquirers holding to the values of the acquired]".
