Exactly. Taking your thought a step farther... You can enable the shortcut yourself via extensions! That way, there's no loss in Google's side. :) they don't have to maintain an obsolete feature, and any problems are yours, not theirs. You seem to have made their point for them.

Less code base to cover. Less tests. That's a win for the secs. And you're free to install an extension to retrieve the behavior of you want. Sounds like everyone wins.
I hope this helps with the adoption of newer versions of packages.
I have used MacPorts in the past (and Fink before) but I am supper happy with Homebrew these days. What I disliked about Macports was:

1. Ports define which compiler to use. Sometimes I had to install a small tool and first it would another version of gcc.
2. Ports were outdated a lot. I developed a project using the Grails-framework and it was a couple of versions behind the current stable release. Just checked: Grails port is at version 2.2 https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/devel/grails/... while the current version being 3.1.10

With Homebrew the adoption rate seems much higher. Also you don't depend on a single maintainer.

Fridges are tightly enclosed small spaces that will allow the odours of last night's left over Vindaloo to reach appreciable density and stay there all night. Fridges often contain leftovers and high odour items, sometimes for extended periods. On an open shelf in the kitchen this is far less likely - odours dissipate and are only around for the hour or whatever that you're cooking meals.
I had an unpleasant Uber experience a few months ago where my driver illegally drove in a bike lane to make a right turn at a light, cutting off another car at the light that was legally trying to proceed right. The two drivers got into a verbal altercation that lasted for another light, and then my driver was ranting about it for the rest of the entire drive. I got the feeling that the Uber driver used to be a yellow cab driver who was doing the same thing now but without a medallion. I should point out that driving in the bike lane was especially infuriating to me because I bike every day, whereas I almost never take cars.

The big difference between Uber and cabs, however, is that I left the driver a negative review on Uber, and their customer support got back to me. If he keeps pulling that crap he's not going to be able to drive for Uber anymore. There's essentially no recourse for cab drivers. Sure, they may have contact info posted for their company by law, but if you try to contact them you won't reach anyone who cares.

> If nobody needs to turn to crime to eat and live, then they don't

Can you substantiate this?
I cannot emphasize enough how true this is. Growing up as rural poor, it was an alien concept to me that there were tiers of colleges with different academic specializations. College was just a single monolithic concept to my people. If you were learned real good, and pass that big test, you could be admitted to college just like all those kids who lived closer to town. There was no difference in our minds between the community college 20 minutes away and the public university an hour and a half way. And once you get to the community college and shake off that fog, realize that college is a granular thing, then it is just all you can do to drag yourself up to that state university. Your family has no understanding at all why you would want to move to the state university. Its much further away, harder for you to help out, much more expensive. It just doesn't make any sense within their understanding of the world. Forget about an elite university, its been two years, and you are only now discovering calculus, formal logic, the scientific method. How will you ever compete with the hoards of whites who have been saturated in this world from the beginning?
Not explained whatsoever.

I'm guessing it's a pragmatic approach. We know that some people will always downvote for disagreement. The solution isn't to make them stop (because that's impossible) but to make everyone else supply corrective upvotes.

And that's the point that's missing in this thread: a downvoted comment hasn't just attracted downvotes; it's failed to attract corrective upvotes. Since many more people can upvote than downvote many people saw the comment and decided not to correct the downvote.
The assertion that free trade and technology are not good for the working class is totally false. Yes, the specific group of people whose jobs are no longer needed have to adapt but even they along with everyone else still benefit.

What is going down in Massachusetts is called a racket. The taxi boss crooks are going to benefit a little longer at the expense of everybody else.

I'm not in favor of the government providing safety nets but we already have them. Those taxi drivers who haven't been prudent enough to save or invest in other opportunities should use existing resources just like everybody else.
I don't think geon was thinking of white collars crimes either. Personally, I was thinking of domestic violence.
But that specific incident had nothing to do with using a VCS for packages? He removed left-pad from npms index, the code behind it was still online. Or did you mean more generally in a "single point of failure/removal" sense?

For years I had wondered about this toothpaste conundrum; as the author points out it is in fact one of the important toiletry component if not the most important (for me personally actually it is).

I made up a theory that it has to be sourcing problem. Toothpaste is one thing that you don’t hear small supplier making on their own - I get to hear all the time about handcrafted artisan soaps, conditioner, shampoos etc. but not toothpaste. So for hotel industry it is very easy to source small supplies of toiletries other than toothpaste.

And on the other hand name brand toothpaste manufacturer would not be interested in setting up manufacturing lines for small toothpaste tubes (the fact it is a tube, which essentially needs a pumping machine to fill it up supports this line of thinking) for a niche segment where volumes would be minuscule as compared to their traditional channels.

The fact that there is a super-specialized tool to do this demonstrates that it's not a pointless feature.

> If nobody needs to turn to crime to eat and live, then they don't

Are you implying that the majority of the crime committed in the US is due to the perpetrator starving otherwise? Note that this excludes criminal acts intended to procure money for drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes.

If that is what you mean, then that sounds extremely implausible. What makes you think so? What about sexual violence, domestic violence, other crimes where no goods or money change owners, criminal behavior in traffic, tax evasion?
I get the feeling that the regulations in NYC have more teeth to them. The medallions are very costly, and you risk losing many days of profitability on them if your equipment isn't up to snuff.
It's not so simple. Taxis were granted a monopoly in order to serve as an extension of cities' public transit. In return, they lost the autonomy of a normal business. They can't set their own rates. The government sets rates. They aren't allowed to use surge pricing to match supply and demand. Indeed, in many cases they're not allowed to use a GPS-based method to compute the fare, which increases the difficulty of implementing an app.

This level of intrusion into a private sector business would be inconceivable today, post-Reagan. But taxi regulations were implemented at a time when this sort of thing was standard practice.

So you've got all these people who invested into these businesses with these regulations on the explicit promise the government would protect them from competition. Taxis are upset about having to compete because the whole deal was they would not have to, in return for regulated rates. But heavy regulation destroyed any possibility of innovation in the taxi industry. So you have to let ride sharing operate to move forward. But what do you just reneg on the promise to taxis?

I don't think taxing ride-sharing is an ideal solution. I'd prefer the state to just buy out the monopolies using general tax dollars. But it's not totally out on left field if you keep in mind the state isn't free to draw on a blank slate here.

The reporter should ask toothpaste manufacturers this question. Surely if anyone cares that hotels supply guests toothpaste, it's the manufacturer who stands to profit from such a deal. I suspect that if you went down that road, you would find your answer.

> simply pay back these medallion costs so that taxi drivers are free to figure out the next step in their careers/lives without the indentured servitude of paying back the medallion loans hanging around their necks.

this is actually one of the more sensible proposals i've heard.

although i will say that the two cities i've lived in (leeds and manchester) already had private hire vehicles before uber. and it was kind of hit and miss. at this point, i'm not sure uber has to be cheaper - i'd use it just because their user experience is so much better than ringing some terrible phoneline etc.

There's a lot of sweeping generalisations there!

I can't put speeding in the same category as crimes of poverty, so I won't mention it further.

There's dozens of causes to crime - lack of opportunity, not caring of consequences, greed, upbringing, education, peer pressure, depression or other issues (often held up as a cause of affluent shoplifting) and many others. The simple fact remains that poverty or a recession indicates a clear rise.

If you can't put food on the table for the kids, and feel you have no other choices left, you may reach the point that you steal.

Crime often happens without need too. From stealing a little stationery from your well paid job, fiddling expenses (£100k a year MPs have been caught doing this, whilst legislating to send the scum to prison for years for some triviality). They can be because you're pissed at your job. So it goes on for more premeditated and higher value crimes.

Giving folks a decent baseline might end crimes of poverty and necessity, but would have little effect on the rest of the causes.
But they have already set up manufacturing for such tubes for Hotels in Europe and Asia, so it should only make sense that they would want to sell more of these.

Emirates also supplies a toothbrush and toothpaste on long flights in a nice little toilet bag, even for economy passengers.

These things are everywhere, except apparently American Hotels.

The argument about abusing comments with parser directives is totally bogus. You can create parser directives with extra field names too! Worse, people create comments anyway using fields like "//" -- but they're much crappier than real comments, since they have to be a valid string value.

Yep, saw that too in Japan. People leaving their cell phones to "reserve" a table, and going to get something to eat. I couldn't believe my eyes. Also, bikes unchained everywhere. Even electric ones.
Trust, But Verify;
But I'd assume most hotels don't source from small-time shops (at least the big chains surely have one supplier nationwide). And at least here in Germany, toothpaste is easily available in small tubes?
To some extent yes. I think even without social programs they would still be better off, as there are no social programs in the third world. Wages are just vastly higher in the first world, even for the poorest. Third worlders live on a dollar a day or less. Social programs help a lot of course.
That comment hasn't been flagged, it's been downvoted.
I remember myself thinking about examples of lack of societal trust in Brazil, where I live, comparing to richer countries. Like european countries (Japan also I guess) where you don't have a barrier entering the subway where it is verified if you paid the ticket. Only randomized sample checking.

Then a relative told me a surreal example from Angola. There, public distribution of electricity is unreliable to say the least. So everyone who can afford has a gas fueled electric generator at home.
But, in any apartment building, instead of having a big generator, at ground level, with all residents sharing the bill (like we have in several upper class buildings here in Brazil); each resident has their own small generator just outside their doors. So there is constant loud noise and constant smoke at the stairs and elevators (and a higher individual cost).

The only reason for this (according to this relative) is lack of trust that everybody would consistently pay their share of the common bill. There is always several people who try to take advantage.

So, I agree with the idea that societal trust is a requirement for economic development.
Same here - and strangely enough, it's rarely a problem. Faking characters by using the correct radical and a random homophone base character works okay in a pinch.

But because I never write characters by hand, I have a really hard time reading handwritten notes, and that is a problem.
Is that all you took away from this? I'm skeptical that you actually read it all. I think more attention is paid to CIA involvement and the sketchy activities of Tor leadership than to J. Applebaum.

But I agree that the best strategy, assuming there was malfeasance, is probably not to hold Tor authorities accountable in this way.
If you have to verify, it's not really trust, is it?
Probably different drugs used - not necessarily inconsistent or arbitrary.

> Once the market is saturated with Uber drivers like has happened in places like London, rates start to go down, and drivers make WAY less than than the used to. Simple supply and demand.

That's the problem with a profession where the main skill requirement is possessed by the majority of the adult population. It's never going to be a good job because the supply is essentially infinite. Imagine how different things would be for us as software engineers if everyone knew how to program.

I suspect these 'mini sizing' consumer goods trend is reserved for Asia and I guess now Europe.

In USA the marketing strategies of these companies does not include 'Sachet marketing' or mini sizing. And of course importing these small size containers for a niche market in USA would not make sense at all.

The commit is not orphaned, because the tag is still pointing to it, but it's indeed not reachable from a branch anymore.

git does not update local tags when the tag has changed remotely (see "on retagging" in the git tag man-page), so it would have to be a different tag.

Merging it back would be confusing, because you know have the old branch and the new branch in your history. It would cause the tag to be reachable again from master though.
I would strongly recommend that anyone who hasn't read the original essay, do so.

The social consequences of committing a crime are enormous in Japan, and very long-term (like, the rest of your live). It makes answering the "Have you ever been convicted of a felony" section in the US look like a happy joke. That's part of it. The other is that most Japanese people would be really horrified at the idea of stealing someone's stuff, left that way. Finally, no bystander effect there, not for a crime like that.
This reminds me of my philosophy classes. Rousseau believed all human are fundamentally good vs Machiavelli which thought people will act narcissistically and you need leverage on them to make them behave.

* Subscription as alternative vs. reducing life on newer technology. While being wasteful works in today's "make everything in China" world, long-lasting high-quality products that consumers "rent" make more sense than throwaway products financially and environmentally.

* Mining first-world trash. Third-world countries do this manually, but isn't commercialized in first-world.

* Developing products and services that rely on greater levels of energy than currently available. Energy, propulsion, etc. advances will be made more quickly in coming years.

* Undersea and underground living: greater use of heat, heat or pressure differential as energy sources, related horticulture, and mining - but there are problems to be solved: how do we adapt things we need for overground living to deep underground and deep underwater?

* Space, the final frontier, e.g. transport: SpaceX, distribution: Blue Origin, mining: Planetary Resources, touring: Virgin Galactic, propulsion systems: Orbital Sciences, etc. - but there are many niches to fill.

* Solving world problems of hunger, poverty, unsafe water, lack of shelter, violence - e.g. agricultural transforming, fair redistribution as a service, clean water as a service in the third world, alternative building materials, guns/tasers/billy clubs replaced with net guns.
