The costs for the examples you list are costs of having your own nation and your own set of laws.

There's no point in having either of those if we collectively do not enforce it.

Your position would allow to introduce arbitrary limits on freedom because you can always show a direct or indirect cost caused by having freedom. (it would certainly be cheaper to have everyone living in safe and orderly labour camps, wouldn't it?)

Regarding the U.S. Constitution: I'm in the EU but from my basic understanding the Constitution is a list of supreme laws limiting the governments power to interfere with citizens freedoms and not the other way around. Compiling a list of citizens freedoms would be senseless anyway as it would quickly approach an infinite list. Since I have not heard about a Constitutional law that allows the government to displace people internally it follows that the government does not have this power.
The fact that their phone server isn't free makes me somewhat more concerned as time goes on. I used to think it was just because they were busy, then I thought maybe they just wanted more time to refine things, but now it's been nearly two years since they released the current re-vamped Signal 2.0 for iOS and over a year since releasing Signal for Android. At this point I'm running out of justifications for them for why their phone server is still proprietary & closed source.
Your attacker is going to have roughly the same problem turning as you do. Though an unmanned attack vehicle (missile, drone) isn't limited by physiological g-force limitations.

Why AMD FreeSync is beating Nvidia G-Sync on monitor selection and price
On a related note, a couple of weeks ago I wanted to meet up at a friend's house to watch the Overwatch ELeague finals airing on TBS (basically a competitive video game event on national tv). They did air a bare bones version on Twitch.tv but without commentary and filler stuff. He doesn't have cable but I have a PlayStation Vue subscription which includes TBS, and we wanted to watch the whole production to see what competitive video games on national TV would be like. So I get to his house in the next town over and try to login to my Vue account. That's when we get a message saying that they detected my login location was not my house, and that the only way to access the service was to permanently change my home location. I verified in the TOS that if I agreed to change my home location there's no going back.

In the end we just watched the Twitch stream, which meant I didn't get to access the service I pay for just ten miles from home, and TBS didn't get our eyeballs on their advertisements. Seems like a bad policy on their part.
What's baffling to me, is that this is how almost every single Wifi gadget seems to work for me. I've spent hours trying to get our Fitbit Aria scale to connect to the right network, and reconfigure it, and it almost never works. Same thing with the Anova cooker. It worked fine for a few days and then my phone can't find it anymore. Try doing the setup again and it always fails. There has to be a better way to handle setup and configuration for these types of network connecting gadgets.
> Further, don't underestimate the power of white flight. It's happened many a time before.

I think it would be pretty surprising if this hyper-integration plan didn't result in a sudden and substantial drop in the quality of education in the nicer schools (more classroom disruption which is, anecdotally from the several teachers I know, a huge problem in lower-income schools, more teacher time spent catching the new students up, et c.) and I 100% guarantee that any parents, of any color, who could afford to leave those districts to unaffected ones or switch to private schools would do so ASAP. So yeah, white (and/or not-poor) flight, instantly. And probably some fairly intense protest action by any who couldn't afford to get their kids out.
That's a great way to destroy property value and slash per-capita school budgets. A number of formerly nice suburbs in TX have been destroyed this way.

This idea seems to be borne of a distinct "If poor inner city people can't have nice towns, no one can!" attitude. How about we try to actually improve poor inner city districts rather than making it someone else's problem?
"Civility" is learned behavior, and an unending history of government-imposed racial and economic segregation is bound to result in a gap in learned behaviors. Maybe we should stop allowing our governments to create exclusive neighborhoods for the wealthy. The market has no power to exclude cheaper homes.
Right. I blame many, but I absolutely include the architects. The architects had very much been a part of the movement, and their previous work included Cumbernauld. New Brutalism was very much the cargo cult of the day. Wasn't just the architects, it was most people involved.

That site doesn't show the post war town plan for Hulme. Whilst modern it was still a community with amenities, church and I think swimming pool. The first phases of building were typical 60s semis and maisonettes with 4 stories. Amenities central to the marketing and town plan didn't get built at all, the end result bore no resemblance to the plans. That wasn't unique - it was increasingly common for the amenities to never arrive, or arrive as after thought long after people moved in.

That wasn't unique to New Brutalism of course - even Wythenshawe an estate that's far more traditional had issues with inadequate amenities.

There was certainly govt pressure, it was one of the reasons my father left local govt in '74 whilst central gov was reorganising for more centralisation. The bidding war for more housing by all post war govts meant less and less was being spent per family unit, and as you point out they got ever more industrial. For the record father was not town planning. :p

The design, and specifically streets in the sky, and the very limited number of stairways wasn't shoddy construction. Neither was having to walk 1/4 mile to get from your door to three floors below. Those were designed in. Those weren't uncommon features. Many developments with the new town planning suffered from appalling access, or lots of walking to get a hundred yards. It was a feature not a bug.

There's other factors too, like in an age of Police still walking the beat, they never patrolled the decks. They just walked through the middle at ground level. So much for streets in the sky. The Mancunian Way just added to the isolation, yet it would almost be the millenium before a footbridge was built.

Fortunately, whoever bore most blame, The Crescents saw off the last of the town planning cargo cult.
It's completely different.

MPL 1.1 talks about
"such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent"

Which refers to the software itself. Which means it's a patent retaliation clause similar to the one Microsoft and Google use. If you claim patents on someone for using specific software, you lose any patent licenses for said software that were granted to you. But in Facebook's case, the retaliation extends when you make any patent claim on anything Facebook does, even if it's completely unrelated to the software in question. Meanwhile, the patent license that Facebook gives you does not extend beyond the software in question.

So you're effectively licensing all your patents to Facebook, and Facebook only gives you the ones you need to use the software.

You can no longer set up mail forwarding with Yahoo.

When Yahoo released a ton of unused accounts, I grabbed my last name (which I use on every service). I occasionally get mail for that email address.

My Yahoo email is several years older than Gmail. It would take a LONG time to migrate to another service.
Do you have a link for that? I'm really interested in this area.

Great job, really useful!
I see a lot of knee-jerk and reactionary positions towards autonomous vehicles from the Urban and transportation planning communities.

Skepticism is healthy, but what scares me is that a failure to thoughtfully ask 'What could go right?' Could lead to the marginalization of planners role in ensuring robotaxis are implemented responsibly, and they'll just get steamrolled by capitalists, and many of the same mistakes will be made as when the car companies aggressively campaigned to place the automobile at the centre of American life in the early to mid 20th century. A costly error that even half a century after we've come to acknowledge it, we've been unable to meaningfully alter the course.

Urban planners have been beating the same drum for over a generation now, and outside of a few small victories their efforts have been mostly fruitless. They're stuck on autopilot.

Are Self driving cars 'The Answer'? No.

Are they a potentially valuable tool for addressing longstanding pain points in urban transportation systems? Absolutely.
Why Donald Trump’s Words Matter
Listen mate. I am not playing up an edge case here and even if I were, you are very much doing the same thing.

When I pay for a service, travel frequently, and cannot use that service because of licensing restrictions due to ads, that is a problem. That tells me these streaming services put more stock into my viewing ads than accessing content I am already paying for. I am not pro-pirate. Nor is your car analogy relevant. You are comparing apples and oranges (the business models aren't remotely the same and the value propositions are completely different, to me, that is disingenuous.
I'm not a lawyer so I can't say with certainty, but I'm sure Facebook could make React's license a bit nicer in some ways.

But I can't buy it as a reason for not using React, that sounds bogus to me. Facebook isn't gonna come sue your beer-ranking app company over a patent beef.

We really don't! Mir and the ISS house only a few people, and are constantly being resupplied.

We have no experience with building, or maintaining self-sufficient - or even somewhat-kinda-sorta close-to-self-sufficient biospheres. Without them, Mars is a pipe dream - it would be far too difficult to maintain any kind of colony.

Unlike building rockets, the thing with ecology is that we don't even know what the hard parts are going to be.

in the case of the patents, they're not really used to create a derived work. As a result, there is no "infection".
Data analysis and statistical inference: A quick guide
I can't truly speak for the whole country, but Connecticut schools seem to be a class above most anywhere else. Every time I've considered moving somewhere cheaper, the school system research is completely depressing. I know parents who tried to move to Florida and found the schools to be 2 years behind CT grade-level-wise (so their 4th grader is learning stuff they learned in 2nd grade in CT). They actually simply moved back, it was that bad.

Keep in mind that CT is a bit of a sinking ship, with companies and jobs leaving, and the population often following it. It's not some place that everyone is flocking to, but it has a long history of being at the forefront of things like education and mental health.

I've also heard, from numerous people, that having a few years experience as a teacher here in CT will make getting a job teaching in most other places completely trivial.
The remarkable thing that happens when the state funds rent like that is increasing rents until the original situation is reached again or the bubble bursts. We already have enough trouble with the low or even negative interest rates that launch house prices into unprecedented heights.

You mean due to the process discovered by Fritz Haber.

It isn't the case that if he hadn't discovered the process in 1909 that in 2016 the human species would still be without it.
I believe that the government makes deals with landlords to rent below market rate (in exchange for an endless supply of tenants). To give someone market rate to go out and rent a place would likely cost more.
But, would that tactic really have worked or was it just exploiting some less-tested close-battle rules that didn't actually represent reality? As in, those tiny torpedo-boats are incredibly flimsy and a CIWS fires a lot of bullets.

When they wrote the rules did they just arbitrarily assign a carrier a certain number of attacks per round? Because four attacks doing d100 damage aren't like one-hundred attacks doing d4 damage...

If a real carrier group would have survived the attack then they should change the rules.
> It's happened many a time before.

And who can blame them? If you started putting a bunch of high-risk no-income people in section 8 housing in a formerly nice neighborhood, any rational person who could afford it would move away.
> I'm not saying that I disagree with your assertion that CSS is a bad place to layer logic from a maintainability standpoint; I'm more pointing out that blaming it on SCSS makes no sense in this context

I don't see where I blamed anything on SCSS just found it amusing the page purports to axe dependencies (JavaScript) but uses SCSS. The rest of my post is far more on topic and interesting. Everyone is focusing on my SCSS poke though, heh.

[My limited knowledge and reading of this is reflected here]

There are genetic, dietary and lifestyle factors. Genetically and historically, people were used to famines and lower availability of food. So the body evolved to store up whenever food consumption increases. This applies to large parts of the population in Africa too.

With affluence and affordability improved drastically in the last few decades, people tend to eat more and richer food, which forces the body to store as fat. This triggers Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. Diet wise, the consumption of dairy is quite high (not as high as some developed countries though) - significantly higher than consumption in the past. This combined with genetics makes things worse, and a lot of lacto-vegetarians also tend to suffer from the lifestyle diseases mentioned above.

This assumes the product can still be purchased or is for sale in the country.

Not every country has a licence to sell certain movies. Literally can't pay the money the makers of the films what they want to charge me because they don't want to charge me. This also applies to music and other products (though other products can't necessarily be pirated).

My options are:

a) Pirate the movie at no cost to the creator
b) Do not watch the movie at no cost to the creator

Morally - I don't see the difference. Financially - there is no difference. Culturally? There is a huge difference. Many people fail to realize how much culture is shared/discussed around movies/music (esp. American movies/music).

I've been thinking about reading The Feynman Lectures on Physics recently, but I always thought they were essentially textbooks; I was surprised to see them described as 'popular' here. I remember reading something about their origin, that some universities tried adopting them with the result being that students found them too difficult (and many professors considered the material to be a sort of fresh take on classical subjects).
The Yahoo fiasco is horrible, but it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who has heard of Snowden and his leaks. He talks about programs like this, though I don't remember the program's name. So, in other words, shouldn't we all have dumped Yahoo (and everyone else) in 2013? Also, it's rather irrelevant if you communicate mostly with other Yahoo, Gmail, etc. users because, unless you encrypt (good luck with getting your friends and family to encrypt) all messages, you still can't keep it private. So let's not pretend like this is a surprise or it's only Yahoo doing it. That last claim would be the most ridiculous.

How would one defend and/or re-configure carrier strike groups in a world filled with hypersonic missiles?
You will find that places accepting Section 8 vouchers are highly concentrated, poorly connected to transit, and highly segregated. Local property owners often vigorously fight zoning that allows any new, better connected, or mixed income development that accepts section 8 payments. So in effect you get privately managed projects. Its pretty tragic really.
My ES40 (4 x 667MHz 21264s) consumes 16A @ 110V. Most 110V US circuits are 10A.

I blew at least three fuses between that and the RX5670 (4 x Itanium), which consumed a similar amount of power @ 110V.
The problem is that Facebook doesn't need to disarm, and it's removing your options to fight them if they do not [1].

Cars/trucks are way less efficient than trains in terms of fuel and vehicle overhead per passenger or ton of cargo. The article is a bit rambling, but the environmental argument seems the strongest to me - tiny little combustion engines are disastrously inefficient and polluting, and electric just isn't there yet for true long distance. An electrified rail network is the high-throughout, bulk-process solution.

I'm also willing to bet that trains are much easier to maintain in aggregate then the same amount of capacity in trucks, due to there being fewer individual engines/motors needed. Track maintenance is slightly harder than road maintenance, but probably not harder than roads plus whatever solution you'd need for an automated truck to make it across the country (charging stations, electrified roads, etc.).
Disney could just subsidize 'the puppy channel' or whatever with their own money and have a free 3 month trial to get people hooked.

Really, it's just a question of what they get from all their channels (X + Y + ...). If Y = 0billion and X = 10billion that's the same as Y=1billion and X = 9billion.

PS: Ok, their might be some accounting magic so it's useful for channel Y not to be profitable.

I never did conflate them. I've worked in this industry for 12 years now. I really don't get the disconnect here. I called it a dependency because it is and everyone is trying to tell me it's a different type of dependency. Well no shit but that was never my point to begin with.

My point was hijacked and contorted here.
Ask HN: Is phonegap/cordova still relevant?

We both may be trying to make the exact same point. Sorry if the CS analogue caused more confusion. Not all knowledge is considered to have true monetary value. Many kind of business practices is not necessarily knowledge or truth. Some practices are even out right manipulation and ethically illegal. To me valuable is human culture, its history, how we could advance science and tech without its misuse to grab more power etc.

As I read more and more, thought about various things that I read, observe things happening around me, read history and think the need of violence and such stuff, it got me various perspectives. I would hate anything but the truth.

One's opinion about something is not necessarily truth and we get mostly uncomfortable about someone else's opinion. But dont we not want the true fact even if it is uncomfortable?
