I think you are discounting their dependence on the US and other countries to protect them; they didn't decide without these assurances in place.
The US forgave a lot of their debt in 2007 in exchange for protecting their rainforests. The US is their largest trading partner.

Mess with Costa Rica, and the US Armed Forces 'will most likely' stand against you.

The US Coast Guard can operate off their shores because of the Drug War and an agreement with Costa Rica.

And no (just to preempt that argument should it occur to someone), just because global warming is man-made it does not mean people release CO2 in order to destroy New York, not to mention that the New Yorkers participate like everybody else.

There's a really interested building material called CLT (cross-laminated timber) that's exceptionally strong and durable, and has good fire resistant properties. In Sweden some have started building houses out of them since their load bearing qualities enables open floor plans. It's like plywood on steroids and you use giant cutters to assemble buildings in a few large pieces

Here's an article, I think there's a few variant of similar materials, not sure which is "best"

The AN-225's little brother the AN-124 was once used to fly a diesel locomotive from Canada to Ireland. It worked out cheaper for the train manufacture to pay to have it flown over, and meet the contractural delivery date, rather than shipping it by sea and paying the fine for missing the deadline.

>> "Our education system (UK)"

The UK isn't big but I don't think you can generalise here because my experience is very different. Scout groups seem very popular (so popular it's really difficult to get your kid a place in one), schools offer the optional Duke of Edinburgh award which teaches camping/orienteering and is pretty popular, and in the UK a hell of a lot of people live pretty close to the ocean and know how to use it safely (surfing is very popular in Ireland and south cost of England/Welsh coast). When I was younger my friends and I would go camping a few times a year as did many other groups of friends (the reason was mostly so we could get drunk without getting caught but still we hiked 12 hours to get there, figured out how to cook, get water, build a fire, pitch tents etc.).

On the other hand I've been pretty shocked this Summer that every sunny weekend it seems half a dozen people get killed in the ocean here. I'm only in my mid-20's but maybe the education system has been lacking in recent years to cause this? Or is it maybe that kids don't play outdoors very much anymore so don't have an easy way to learn and practice the skills? In the 90's video games were just hitting/becoming affordable so we could build huts in fields, play football everyday, ride bikes, play on building sites, camp several times a year. Looking at younger family members they don't do any of these things. Maybe it's not education but lack of practice. Schools can teach you how to swim but if you never actually go to the ocean or a pool after learning you're going to be out of practice when you go and try to swim in the ocean in the summer.

There's a reason for that. My father in law was a fireman who retired as chief after 45 years.

Fires are rare today -- but were incredibly common during the 60s and 70s. He was at an average of two a week in those days. It was common enough that insurance companies had "protectives" who were firemen to go in and pull out your furniture.

Fire is rare because of those codes today.

The reverse worked out great for California. I think the US government does a better job of looking after it's people than the Mexican one. So no, I'd rather it go the other way. But I might be wrong since it's not easy to see the whole picture.

I suspect the Mexicans who want to be Americans tend to take themselves to America and the remaining people are more concentrated as nationalists. So perhaps immigration is a natural damping force on "giving away your country". Actually the direction of immigration is probably a good indicator of which countries are genuinely better than which. Germany shouldn't give up control to Poland, but Poland should give itself up to Germany - the former Poles would probably enjoy a better life eventually.

Slightly off-topic but it's good to see after all these years that companies like Microsoft (and Apple?) have to make a serious attempt to embrace the open-source community or miss out on a lot of cool new software and developers. Times have changed somewhat; the mantra used to be "doesn't work on Linux", while nowadays we've got a lot more heterogeneous environment.
The US also operates a fleet of larger cargo planes than the one chosen for the comparison.

For someone who doesn't want to get into "Apple Good. Microsoft Bad." level of rethoric you seem to have a lot of grudge against Apple. To answer your points, they built their own OS and they had their own Office suite.

They threw lots of stuff away afterwards, but from my point of view that's the very reason why I use an Apple laptop right now. Had they stick with the OS9 base, I'd never buy their products, the same way I don't consider buying a windows machine.

For your point 2) do you really need a citation about Office versions backward non compatibility?

I wouldn't care to qualify if those were done on purpose or not, fact is there's still product managers that green lit the release of products that would break silently compatibility with older versions in small but critically annoying ways (screwing the layout in a word doc is the last step before plain data loss)

Point 4) about incentives, I always wonder why we ended up with Office version installing libraries that would affect the behavior of internet explorer. For instance as an intern I built a dynamic form for an intranet dedicated to IE (6 I think?), but it wouldn't properly work if a recent version of Office was not installed on the system. Of course I was writing shitty code, but yet it boggles my mind that Office would install system wide libraries affecting the behavior of so many applications. There was no incentive to prevent this kind of problems, or they were just really bad designers, pick your option.

> London's population was a lot more than 10k in the 12th century

Yea, how are we supposed to trust the authors of this article on qualitative judgement calls when they are so misleading about basic quantitative stuff. According to Wikipedia, London was 60k people by 100 AD, dropped to 15k around 1100 AD, but then was back to 80k by 1300 AD, which are all very pre-industrious times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Londinium
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_and_Medieval_London

Compare this to the article:

> Dr. Timothy Pauketat, an archeologist who wrote a book about Cahokia, believes the city was home to over 10,000 people in 1250, with more Cahokians living on the surrounding farmland. If that’s the case, Cahokia was larger than London.

So, the author cherrypicks an expert who says the population Cahokia at its peak may possibly have been almost as big as London was at a local minimum over a 2,000 year history.
It's a very small graph.
Ah, gotcha. I'd still wager it's more common than we think :)
For those wondering:

250 tons = 227 tonnes (227,000 kg)

I'm not really concerned about Dropbox's intentions, or even the accessibility integration. What worries me is:

- There are numerous setuid binaries without any documentation or source code available. These have the potential to breed nasty zero-day privilege escalation exploits, possibly worse.

- Dropbox goes out of its way to obfuscate its Python bytecode. This doesn't prevent intellectual property theft: there will always be people capable of reverse engineering it (e.g., https://github.com/rumpeltux/dropboxdec). The only effect that it has is to significantly decrease the security of the application: technical users can't easily review the inner workings without a substantial time investment. Hackers, on the other hand, have massive profits to gain from reverse engineering something as popular as Dropbox, and won't hesitate to do so. This represents a lack of regard for security on Dropbox's part, indicating that they favor intellectual property protection over the security of their customers. When I buy a car, I can open it up, check the brakes, and be sure I'm not going to crash into a tree. I expect to be able to do the same with the software on my computer.
Ask HN: Simple database/key-value store web API for throwaway projects?
I realized recently it might be nice to use a single remote data store for all the disposable and not terribly data-heavy web things like landing pages. This way they could be just business logic, with no stored data to worry about preserving when you shut them down or move them from one platform to another. It would preferably be dead simple to use, cheap and have a good UI for viewing the stored data. Can you recommend any?

One service I like in this general area is webscript.io, which provides a sandboxed Lua interpreter you can use, e.g., for validation, but its focus is different and the built-in view for the stored data is bare-bones.
For seL4, as I understand it their trials and tribulations also included false starts, like trying CompCert before moving to Magnus Myreen's generate logic from binary code and then meet in the middle approach.

And they've released all this, GPLed, so hopefully others (including maybe myself when I get the time) can continue doing this more efficiently.

That and I have lived in SE Asia where there's a lot of handcrafted fabrics, foods, and other unbelievable things checked-in and carried on luggage once you're flying on a plane not bound for a major city. Just look at the Customs line in JFK or Newark to see what they pull out of people's luggage if you're coming from Asia or Africa. I can't speak to other points of origin.

I don't know of any reports of fires in luggage holds.

I know there are fire suppression devices as mandated by the FAA. It used to be just containment, but they changed it to suppression thank goodness.

Nonetheless, I vote for carry-on where you can see it before a single-point failure occurs with the fire suppression system unseen in the luggage hold. I can imagine the fire suppression system either not being charged or armed from my related experience with safety issues in the hospitality industry.

I am really into exploring the mounds and ancient dig areas. Have all sorts of old books with maps that cover many of the mound areas. Amazes me that many people have never heard of them. Taking the old maps and then using satellite maps to locate them is great fun to me. Many of the locations are forgotten about and very cool to explore.

I do agree to an average tourist they arent much to "look at" at first. If anyone is in the mid east river areas they are all around you though. Ohio, Ill. Mi. Miss. etc. The history alone is fascinating and very much not talked about surprisingly. I found it to be something that the more I researched the more I want to know and more excited I get to find spots.
So "I like this principle as long as I get more power, and other people get less power". Thought that U.S. governance is somehow better than Mexican sounds nationalistic. Is it?

Your ideology seemingly supports imperialism. The opposing idealism is called Subsidiarity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidiarity

U.S. is weird as it's currently one of the most imperialistic nations around. Yet it's organized (nominally) as federation.

There are lots of people who think local governance is more or as important than democracy itself. It doesn't even require nationalist motivations. Simply government with fewer subjects and close by is likely to be more effective than government far away and with lots of subjects.
> So, yeah, I'd like an non-commercial (remember that there are free tiers and products) environment+language that's equal

This will never happen I fear. And IMO it's not even a matter of interface issues -- environment, language, etc. -- although matching those would take a lot of effort as well.

But more importantly, I think a lot of people massively under-estimate the sheer number of best-in-class implementations of important algorithms that are locked up in Mathematica's source code. I try to avoid Mathematica whenever an alternative exists, but in a lot of cases there just isn't an alternative. Especially as you get closer to "real" mathematical capabilities.
Even 60's were safe compared to earlier centuries. It used to be common for whole cities to burn down. And again we can thank the codes.

Also, because we've lost the ability to build things in the US, we've forgotten that low lying land is a solvable problem. In fact, we already solved that problem in FiDi back before we gave up the social technology of building things.

(Just look at our inability to build subways - something we were capable of 100 years ago and which desperately poor India and China do today.)

When push comes to shove, we can just pay the Dutch or Singaporeans a lot of money to fix things for us.

'Say hello to the real reasons we got rid of the 3.5mm jack'
Yeah, it's not of great quality.

E.g. it might have emphasized how much COMPAQ's PC quality dropped during that period, e.g. two computers with the same model number and consecutive serial numbers could have significantly different insides, which was a nightmare for people trying to prepare for Y2K. So why continue to pay COMPAQ prices for worse than Dell quality? (As I recall, Dell maintained a higher degree of commonality in their PCs, although peripherals were just as or more mix and match.)

Chasing after something different while gutting your core business is a common failure mode. Apple was said to suffer from this to a degree in the period mentioned, as was implied from the mention that Macs weren't selling that well. The Apple II side of the company was not happy about being a neglected and scheduled for termination cash cow.

As for Mayer, she just seems to be terrible at managing people in general, not just devs. Besides really notable things like the meat axe taken to all remote workers while setting up a nursery adjacent to her office, Tumblr's failure as a successful acquisition is said to be in large part due to the precipitate folding of its sales organization into the general Yahoo one, which had no idea how to handle its rather different market.

And wasn't development neglected as well? One common fate of acquired units, which I've seen first hand, is that their technical development plans get canceled when they inevitably lose budget allocation battles to much more politically powerful incumbent units in the company.

So, I say that unless a company has developed a skill at doing this, which Cisco was said to have a long time ago, despite losing all that wonderful synergy and eliminating duplicate cost centers, integration of a new company that's successful into your company should be done with extreme care and without rushing. "Successful" to distinguish from e.g. acquihires where acquiring a successful team, but little or none of their previous products or services, is the goal.
