Making a standard that will have legal mandates behind it messes up the incentives and the process.
Also, standardization work isn't for everyone. It is generally slow, and not cutting edge.

Based on experience with a totally different sort of standards: I think standards bodies can be OK when they're building standards that will be used if the market wants them (in whole or in part)....

I think the group really intended to use 永, which is apparently has a history as a sort of reference character, but chose 水 by mistake instead, and then decided the mistake wasn't worth fixing, since any Chinese or Japanese font should have either.

My 2 year old will fight you on this.
Or maybe just pick the raisins out of my homemade bread (added specially for him; I used to add walnuts) and eat *only* the raisins.

Interested to see the data on what the baselines are with/without children, too. That is, does the paper (which I can't see) explain whether the penalty is more the result of differences in how much childless women work/earn, or differences in how much women with children do?
I think this matches the spec because tabatkins.github.io/css-togg… says "If the element already has existing activation behavior from the host language, this value does nothing."
That said, the activation behavior is probably the part that needs the most research and work.
The @nytimes could have used a better phrase in this photo caption than "a skyscraper in Taipei" to describe one of the most recognizable skyscrapers in the world.

I think the creation/destruction of those nodes would lead to some amount of invalidation... though perhaps not a full reraster.

Not sure if it's discernible (though I think it probably is), but there is a difference, since there are some nodes in data structures in Chromium (property trees) that we'd create up-front based on will-change, and we'd have different nodes for transform and rotate.

Back when most cellphone plans charged for phone minutes, that was true. (In the US you can't tell if the number you're calling is a cell by looking at the digits, so caller couldn't pay.) Now it's mostly unlimited calls/texts and charging for data usage (or tiers of usage).

One of the interesting graphs is fred.stlouisfed.org/series/L…
Though the same for men only is also interesting, since much of the long term trend in this graph is women joining the workforce. But that slice (25-54, male) doesn't seem to be on FRED.

There's a local Indian restaurant here that basically does that.
Also, I eat some of the leftover of sauces that come with a Dosa (from a different local Indian restaurant) with leftover chips from a Mexican restaurant. (Only the spicy green sauce and the tamarind one.)

Monarch butterfly caterpillar (Monday)... Monarch butterfly pupa (Thursday).
The plant they were eating (just one!) was almost completely leafless by Tuesday.

I recently remembered economist.com/leaders/2008/0…, which is unusual for a political endorsement from a newspaper: it doesn't name the endorsed candidate until the last sentence of the article:
"Italians should vote for Walter Veltroni, his opponent from the centre-left, instead."
