I can't speak as to others in the bay area, but I quite enjoy the traditional Sunday dinner, wherein I cook for a number of friends in my own home, without expectation. I live in downtown SF, so clearly not an extravagant amount of space, but we make it work (and well). I feel this article is written by someone who doesn't actually know anyone outside of their own echo chamber in SF.

No. The way to write your emails in vim is to use an email client that lets you open the text in an editor of your choice. E.g. mutt, or a webclient combined with an add on that let's your open textarea in an external editor (vimperator or its all text).

P.s. emacs sounds like a great OS - are there any add ons that allow one to open its textareas in a decent editor? :p
If you can get the time to develop the software to be similar with all of the benefits of a SPA, that is hard to ignore. Any recommendations on how to make this a reality?

Not a conclusion, quite obvious. However I have worked in Berlin also and while of course vastly different in regards to mentality, I cannot see how small startups without a lot of funding could even possibly succeed there as well, save a few special ones. Regulatory and tax hell is everywhere and even though local politicans there at least seem to understand the internet most laws still do not.

Huh. If you block IP addresses from this part of Texas, can you claim to not to business there, and thus cannot be tried there?

It blows my mind, too, that Mike is about the only person I've seen do it. It's the kind of thing I'd think Amazon would find obvious. Dollar General and Aldi each make a fortune with DG having several times the margin of much of the industry. Convenience stores are all over the place with all kinds of personnel-driven issues. I'd have thought they'd prove themselves out serving the low end before aiming for the high.

I think maybe it's because they're a technology company aimed at solving big problems for large numbers of consumers at once. They might have not thought of the cumulative effect of a ton of small deployments that their big thinking merely orchestrates and supplies. A weakness, perhaps?

Also some of them are older and remember the "2nd iceage" and "uncontrollable acid rain" doom and gloom.

Unfortunately the media has done a lot to poison the well on these topics, coupled with politicians all too happy to never let a crisis go to waste. Republicans yelling "small government" while trying to make a government big enough to police your bedroom. Democrats yell about stopping climate change and pump billions into crony companies that blow up and fail (all the while laundering taxpayer cash as campaign donations, republicans do this with defense groups).

So you get leftists going "we shouldn't like, have new fighter jets man" and right ringers thinking global warming is a laundering scheme.

> Most provinces have long been saddled with alcohol monopolies that keep prices quite high

Actually alcohol monopolies keep prices low. Take what happened in Alberta, for example, when they got rid of the monopoly: prices skyrocketed. Plus government store generally carry a wider variety of goods and pay their employees a reasonable amount. Just look at your average BC Liquor Store vs private store. Really only Ontario has managed to mess up the government distribution of alcohol; most provinces haven't had the same experience.

I am my experience of the world, so to speak.

Creating an exact copy of me wouldn't make me experience the world from two different perspectives at the same time. It would just create a new human being that, allegedly, would be a "copy" of me (or so people would say).

To me, it would just be another person walking around. There wouldn't be any essential difference between this person and an adult child of mine.
Ha! I don't know if any of what you say is true, but I was in Munich a few months ago and had lunch in a traditional restaurant, where waiters and waitresses wear old Bavarian costumes, which only offers traditional food of sausage and such, etc.

At first glance I thought this was a restaurant for tourists, like there are in all major cities. But what surprised me a lot was that the restaurant was full of locals, who seemed to go there often, if not every day.

People do seem very conservative there.

> I can never find sympathy for people who complain about high alcohol tax in Canada.

To be fair, the OP to didn't mention anything about taxes. The high taxes on alcohol have to be paid irrespective of private or public distribution channels. The OP is more guilty of generalizing from ON to the rest of the country when it comes to public distribution channels.
Yes, there are 2 old concepts which are used by most countries.

1) Jus sanguinis (latin for blood ties or right of blood), this means u get citizenship if one of your parents is a citizen of country X.
2) Jus soli (latin for right of the soil), which means u get citizenship by the territory you are born on.

Both countries the USA and Germany nowadays have a mix of those, Germany had 1. back in the day and then introduced 2. over time, also special foreigner laws like getting a permant residency permit quiet eaily after you have been there for 8 years.

SEA especially Thailand has still only 1. so it's quiet impossible to get permant residencies till today - but fear not, you can bribe urself in paying money and its called the thai elite card -.-

Thank you, I couldn't agree more. Now we just need to get these people to stop calling themselves venture capitalists, and start using the correct term: growth capitalists. When your first criteria is literally a derisked company, i.e., a company needs traction, you're no longer looking to invest in new ventures; you're looking to grow an established business.

I think this claim would be more credible if there were the any other characteristics of a religion present. Namely: Doctrine, rituals, totems, prayer, and above all it would require that there is some credulity to a higher power/state such as heaven/nirvana that will never be seen by humans.

I'd be interested to see some of those as I haven't yet and I've been in the community for a while.

What I will grant is that, there are those who speak in the same structure as religious people. "In the future there will be no poverty because machines will make everything we need for free" sounds a little too close to "In heaven, you can eat all you want and never get full!"

However similar they sound though, they have radically different theoretical roots.

In fact though there is plenty of hard evidence for progress on all of the accounts you mentioned:

Jackfruit Kerala
The edible jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) contains mostly fructose and is a good source of the antioxidant vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron. The seeds are edible, rich in protein and can be dried and stored for months before eaten. The wood of the tree is strong and is used for house and furniture construction and for making musical instruments.
Is this sorcery?

CDC: Painkillers No Longer Driving Opioid Epidemic
Like almost everything about Canada, this is very much a regional thing. Cities and provinces have a lot of leeway to deprioritize things like marijuana prohibition. Just because you won't get busted for simple possession in Vancouver or Toronto, doesn't mean you won't get busted in Regina or Winnipeg. There have been over 22k arrests for simple possession since Trudeau assumed office with the promise of legalization. [1] And the government has said it will not issue pardons for anyone convicted from these arrests.

Seems pretty simple.

If you use extra screen real estate (on a big monitor of additional monitors) to get more interuptions (email, twitter, whatever) it's a loss.

If you use extra screen real estate to help keep you on task (i.e. source code, documentation, performance numbers, example code, etc) it's a win.

It's not really more complicated than that.
Seems like an idea that could be worthwhile

> The Supreme Court held in 1957, in Fourco Glass v. Transmirra Products, that in patent cases, only section 1400 applies, not the more general venue provision in section 1391. That is, until the Federal Circuit determined that subsequent amendments to section 1391 had the effect of making the more general venue provision of section 1391 applicable to patent cases too.

What you're leaving out is that the amendment to the relevant part of 1391 was only from:

> (c) A corporation may be sued in any judicial district in which it is incorporated or licensed to do business or is doing business, and such judicial district shall be regarded as the residence of such corporation for venue purposes.

to:

> (c) For purposes of venue under this chapter, a defendant that is a corporation shall be deemed to reside in any judicial district in which it is subject to personal jurisdiction at the time the action is commenced.

It seems highly improbable that this minor wording change was intended to affect whether or not it applied to section 1400, and the Federal Circuit didn't find any evidence that Congress intended it to. Thus, even if the original Supreme Court interpretation was 'wrong' from a textualist perspective, the Federal Circuit was still bound by it and should have followed it, rather than using some blustery argument to decide that they could treat the new text "as a matter of first impression" - basically an excuse to "ignore our decision", as Justice Kagan put it. My guess is that the Federal Circuit was just as motivated by policy desires in doing so as you blame the Supreme Court for being; at least, this would fit very neatly into the usual pattern of the Federal Circuit consistently making IP-friendly rulings and the Supreme Court frequently overruling them.

As you allude to, 1391 has since been amended further, but again not in a way that suggests Congress intended a functional change wrt this question.

But today's you has diverged from yesterday's you just as much as tomorrow's copy would have diverged from today's original. At the moment of copying - assuming a sufficiently high fidelity - they would be practically identical. The differentiation would only happen over time.

So if you kill the original - maybe because the procedure is destructive or because it's a consciousness-saving emergency measure - the "copy" would have a pretty good claim to be a continuation of you.
Sorry for the late reply. I'll just address the fact that the slave being sacrificed to the sun gods was a slave in the first place, because it's well known that totally messed up things are justified by religion, and that's a whole different thing. The fact that this sun god society has slaves in the first place is sufficient for me to make my point.

Being a slave means that your masters consider your life to be less valuable than theirs. So even though you're a human being, they deny you rights and treat you like a lower form of life. This is what I meant by unjust suffering, perhaps I phrased it wrong, but my point was that it's simple math. Is this life form a human being? Are they well intentioned? Do you prevent them from leaving or harm them regardless of their good intentions? Does your society condone your actions? If so, morally speaking, you're living in an objectively worse society. You're doing harm to someone of your own species who doesn't wish harm on you.

You seem to imply the Pb-210 only starts decaying after the refining occurs. I'm as curious about this as the grandparent - why?

Edit: Figured it out in the reddit thread linked elsewhere ( https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/pg14g/til_th... )

The key appears to be isolating the lead from co-occurring uranium which can decay into the Pb-210. It's not that the refined lead is losing Pb-210 any faster, it's just that there's no longer any uranium generating more of it. Fascinating!
