As someone who has spent a lot of time sitting in chairlifts over the years that's a pretty terrifying video - amazing that I'd never even considered what would happen if a lift ran backwards!

I wonder if the "up and down" lifts that go down and up a valley (e.g. there is one at Alpe d'Huez) or over a ridge (e.g. the one at Val d'Isere) suffer from the same problem - even allowing for the fact that I'm pretty sure that they are modern detachables.
Those are potentially why the lawsuit would fail if you're lucky. You'd still have to fight it at ruinous cost for a small business – and expect customers to disappear if there's any chance they'd be included.
`autocomplet` or `autocomplete`?
Goods and services are dealt with completely differently when targeted at consumers or corporate customers (depending on the country). So there are 4 different combinations times the number of EU countries. And there are more exceptions when it comes to goods depending on the class of goods (food for instance).
How about different rates for different goods / services? This looks like a gross oversimplification. Doing VAT correctly is quite hard - there is a reason why there are dedicated VAT specialists working in larger consulting firms.
One way to define that is in terms of the customer: quality (no defects), calendar time to deliver, benefit to customer, and value (cost-benefit ratio). So you can say things like, "if we refactor this code now, we can schedule less time on maintaining it in the future, spend less unscheduled time fixing bugs in the future, and deliver features in less time with less effort."

Indeed, though any kind of arrangement is difficult. You might end up in a dead end job, not matching your skills or otherwise soul crushing regardless of the method.
Yes, I know.

But consider that bleeding to death is also considered to be relatively painless, as a suicide method.
Do you mean inline in CSS / style tags, avoiding visual HTML classes (in which case we're in agreement - there's one way to edit how something looks, though style tags have other issues) or combining either of those with visual HTML classes like this library uses?

I don't think it's a single JS file. The query string seems to be significant. I currently request MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML. (I set it up years ago, so I have no particular recollection of choosing that query string, but I'm confident it was significant.)
This does not make the distinction between consumers and corporate (VAT registered) customers nor does it make a distinction between services and goods (and various classes of goods, to make things even more complicated). Which makes me suspect this is a very broken implementation and you should not rely on it for your business needs.
Wow, thanks so much!

pgAdmin looks great, and TIL about MySQL Workbench, which looks awesome (wish there was a PostgreSQL Workbench! :P) - this will be great for learning.

Databases are one of those things I know I badly need to learn more about, this is great start. Thanks again.

How will politicians follow voters if voters' own actions cause shrinking economies and fewer jobs? That's not rhetorical. I don't know how it is possible within the current system to back down en-masse in the way you suggest. In addition if one culture does shrink and others simply grow more aggressively then the end result will be same.

What you're talking about is a global consensus to shrink the world population and economy. That isn't something I can personally take hold of. Despite the fact that I do live rather minimally - I don't kid myself that it's changing anything. I just like it that way.

I am often quite sceptical of the "science will save us" approach, but actually it seems more credible than the "change one person at a time" approach.

There is a difference between ignoring a piece of software you don't like and actively campaigning against it.
As ColinWright said, it is fairly random. A problem is that content from news sites, or things that multiple sites report on, is often submitted by multiple users, which drowns out individual submissions. (Many people can't even be bothered to check if there has been a discussion before, so a rule change regarding the posting frequency would only be effective if it started to be strongly enforced)

The same way you can build anything you want on your own, I also can say it's crap and I don't want it. And that's fine, you don't need my permission and I don't need to be your public target.

But it's a bit odd that once you realize that you can't build your own vision without asking for my opinion, you start throwing a tantrum saying I'm a negativist and that I don't embrace the community spirit.

No one forced Mark to shut down the project, he made the decision on his own.

Also, community and open source is all about contributions and public discussions, not _just_ code dumps.
That's what the 'MOSS' part of VATMOSS is all about: "Mini One Stop Shop", a way to take all your business across the various EU countries allowing you to specify which country you had how much turnover in and then paying this to a single account which will take care of disbursement. I used this system for as long as it has been active and it works but is still ridiculously labor intensive for small amounts.

The bigger problem is that these rules were made to target companies like spotify and amazon who are large enough to simply work around the rule, effectively penalizing SMBs without any upside.

Highly annoying.
Thanks. I will give this a try.
There are ways to criticise that don't mean being an asshole about it. The problem is that people have a tendency to act like an asshole when giving criticism, which is abusive to the person/people on the other end of the criticism.
You have it backwards. The point of this is so that a CA does not issue a certificate to someone who does not have control of your DNS records. It's a fail safe.

Plus combining this with Certificate Transparency should allow for handling this in an automated fashion. A third party can validate CAs to ensure compliance.

I'm in N.E. Ohio, just outside the Cleveland metro area. The croplands here aren't at large as what you'd see in central OH, but plot sizes of around a hundred acres aren't too hard to spot.

That's a good point that autonomy could be a big deal for some consumers, and I bet larger plot size is a factor in that.

Is improving water quality the decided-upon method for preventing (or even reversing) bleaching of coral reefs?

It seems like that ship has sailed, and now more technological advances are required.

Speaking from zero expertise or experience in marine biology, is it not possible to manufacture massive quantities of synthetic coral that somehow corrects for the changing water quality to enable coral life to flourish?
There's a difference between "destroying" (active) and "not supporting" (passive). If you want to garner support, you need to be open, communicative, and, yes, elicit opinions.
Yep. But how much to charge is dependent on what you charge for, where your customer is located and whether they are a business (with a registered VAT number in their own country) or a consumer.
Wow, they finally rewrote it.
Four or four-and-a-half work weeks are definitely a thing on my side of the pond; atm I have a 40 hour work week, I have colleagues who do 32 (their SOs also work a similar pattern, giving them 2 days to tend to the kids, so they only have to pay for 3 days of day care if that), and my previous job was a 36 hour / week job; if I just worked 40 (easy enough), I got a longer weekend every other week.

I assume Canonical wants to have some influence with Gnome and Wayland going forward. The nature of open source, and just working with groups of people for that matter, is that you have to build consensus before trying to push changes, especially big and visible changes.

Why would a volunteer coordinator (or paid contributor at a different company) even look at a contribution from another team that just called him anti-social if the code isn't perfectly in line with his goals.

Even if Mark is 100% right, his 'anti-social' shots are not a good way to build in-roads with the projects Canonical will be relying on.

Or just not going out until 4. Or if you do - force yourself to get up at your regular time, or only a little later (max 2 hours?).

The main thing is regularity. I had a paper round on Saturday mornings once, they made me forget how to sleep in in the mornings.
You know, being "validated" opens access to a lot of opportunities and most underdogs want just that. Open source is a fancy way to refer to unpaid work nowadays, can't see any revolution here, all being marketable if optimised for production.
The EU administration itself or the national tax authorities in the EU should have provided an official service like this to go with the VAT changes for digital sales from day one.

I appreciate someone else stepping up and doing it, though I'd want to see more information about the source(s) they were using for the data and how frequently they were checked before I'd hook a real business up to a third party service like this.

It's deeper than that.

Everyone hates the process, and companies have investing major dollars and hours trying to improve. End of the day, little has changed since 1917. You either acquire-hire, get a strong referral or interview a pool of unknown applicants.

The tests and quizzes are little different to how a city hired an accountant in 1917. The old boys network evolved. Then you're left with the rest.

You might find it hard to imagine, but that's how it is. I can't say exactly how much time the CEO spends on other tasks out of office, but I know that he at least does a lot of coding while he's at the office (which is most of the time). As I said, we have a minimal amount of support issues and marketing. We also don't do meetings. We don't spend a ton of time on design, and when we do, everyone participates. But that's a very small amount of time compared to the time we spend writing (or thinking/talking about) code. QA is part of the coding process. CFO is outsourced/done by the CEO. The point is, all the developers except the CEO spends at least 90% of their time coding (in pairs).
Despite what it says about Mehdi and Stronglifts, I wholeheartedly will endorse both to anyone who is seeking to become fitter and stronger.

> Also, community and open source is all about contributions and public discussions, not _just_ code dumps.

Personally, I think software should be the central point, not populism. Ideally, an open source project would surround itself with a support community of people who actually use the software instead of wasting so much time fighting.

If I build something that 10 people like, I might not care that 3 billion people choose to ignore it. But I would probably care a great deal if 5 people spend a lot of effort and air time campaigning against it.

> No one forced Mark to shut down the project, he made the decision on his own.

I'm disappointed in that as well, in case that wasn't clear. But as a vocal critic you also don't get to wash your hands completely if something you hate goes down the drain.

> The same way you can build anything you want on your own, I also can say it's crap and I don't want it.

Sure, I just don't like how much enthusiastic assent you can get out of the implication that the main reason for your dislike is simply that I built something on my own.
The "lazy" things are more for those that sleep or laze around a lot during the day, or regularly sleep in for hours. There's no shame in the regular ~8 hours of sleep a day, besides maybe some nocturnal folk that claim to not sleep as much and instead DO ALL THE THINGS at night. They've got their own issues.

Both cultural (and not just by country), and certainly a personality type thing. In one company I worked at, I once had a conversation with someone while we were waiting for someone else, and this person out of the blue told me he used to think I was a massive jerk. I was flabbergasted - I had no idea why he'd think so. I liked him, and though I generally treated him well.

Turns out that he had the impression that whenever we were in a meeting, and he presented an idea, I'd pounce on it and tear it apart. It took him a long time to recognise that I was generally presenting valid criticism, and that it was not a personal attack.

But my reason for being surprised was that my impression of it was that he was someone I respected for often coming up with good ideas.

Good ideas are worth taking the time to figure out how to improve. Bad ideas you shut down in the least amount of time possible - they're not worth spending time on.

To me, the fact that I spent time going through his ideas and finding lots of smaller flaws in them was evidence they were good ideas. All ideas have holes at first, but good ideas can be turned into great plans.

To me, investing time in his ideas was praise. But he at first saw only the criticism.

It taught me to take care to praise explicitly as well, because I could not expect people to understand my motive for spending time criticising their ideas. But I might never have realised if he wasn't the type to be willing to be abrasive enough to start that conversation, as this was how I was used to people communicating in my circles.
This is exciting. Kasparov was prescient when he talked about and promoted advanced chess [1]. The concept was older but he was very humble on accepting this possibility. Magnus Carlsen training is with computers [2]. I would love to see Carlsen playing against the top computer chess program now. He is the "New Hope".

BTW, it seems we are experiencing here in HN some kind of AI fundamentalism since the downvote rush doesn't correlate with this normal comment. I am not arguing against the downvotes, just that sych reactionary behavior was not expected.

Yeah. I find that when you really think about the ethics of eating meat, it becomes increasingly difficult to justify a position somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. It's similar to the abortion debate, I've adopted a position (pro-choice) that I can't fully defend. The catch is that the sliding scale isn't a strawman, it's incredibly hard to justify an arbitrary line where one side is okay and the other isn't.

>GNOME clone

If only Gnome was half as usable as Unity.

The Unity UI is more minimal and looks better, has great keyboard shortcuts to the point that you don't need to use the mouse at all, a great interface to search programs and files. Unity took the best approaches from other DEs and put them together.

Gnome, on the other hand, is a collection of things that don't make sense. From the people who

* initially removed the shutdown function, because it was too destructive [1]

* almost bankrupted the project by funding SJW bullshit [2]

You can't possibly expect these people to come up with a good UX.

I would recommend seeking out professional help for this kind of depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a keyword you can search for.

If you make mistakes or aren't good at something, there are three things to bear in mind:

1. Other people will likely not realize that you've made a mistake. Mostly because people in general are self centered and they are also worried about how other people see them. Probably so worried that they don't realize your mistake.

2. If they do realize you've made a mistake, you will seem more human to them. Your mistakes will actually endear you to the people around you.

In the end, you judge yourself more harshly than other people judge you. Next time you see someone make a mistake, like spill a drink, observe how you judge that person. You'll probably just feel glad that it didn't happen to you and move on. That's how other people see you.

3. People want to be liked and act within social norms. If you make a mistake and someone points and laughs at you, then that person is acting outside of social norms, and the fault lies with them and not with you.

Good luck.

And when Canonical went mainstream, it became the focus of irrational hatred too.

Never hated them. I do however think they made themselves a huge disfavour by abandoning a proven recipe that people loved. I mean even I used Ubuntu because of its almost perfect Gnome, and I was traditionally a KDE person.

Summarized: they built a userbase of people who loved their flavour of Gnome, then suddenly swapped that for something completely unproven that might be better but was very different - and expected us to continue to be fans just because they were Canonical.

Suddenly it turned out we weren't so much Canonical fans as fans of a polished free desktop that worked well.
So your suggestion is that no-one in any of the risk functions or internal audit functions (or the external auditors of the bank) ever thought to look at Libor in the years from it becoming important until the scandal emerged?

And that senior management, who were surely aware that it was now important, never thought about the risk of a rating based on trust being manipulated by people who would profit from that manipulation by receiving increased bonuses?

If all that's true, doesn't say a lot for all these very highly paid bank executives does it?

While this is a great way for you to collect internal business numbers from other companies, I don't quite see how the benefit for those companies is so large that it warrants sending internal information to you.

By the way, do you plan to provide statistical summaries of your findings? Such as: How many companies from country X works with what set of countries Y? How many invoices do they (approximately) file to which country?
