There are a few I had never heard of here. My recent experience is mostly in Kunming and Shenzhen, but also Beijing. IMHO all three places have Mobike and Ofo dominating the options, with Ofo winning and Bluegogo as an honorable mention.
Does anyone else see an added benefit of a universal basic income, is that it could in a small way help disincentivize the revolving door between the public and private sector that sometimes results in regulatory capture?
The Elections Act can be, and has been, amended by parliament. In a majority government with a strong whip, this means the PMO can effectively amend it as they please.

The act defines how we vote, the constitution only requires that the vote method be reasonably democratic.

I'm 95 hours into BoTW and still going very strong. For me that is unheard of, as I typically get board of adventure/rpg type games (I'm more into arcade style games).

My concern with the Switch though is it's the same problem the Wii U had: Nintendo is likely the only company that will really make AAA games for it, and they can only make so many games. The next game I'm looking forward to comes in December (Mario), and Nintendo have not announced anything else compelling yet.

By making these oddball consoles, Nintendo puts themselves in an impossible position of supporting the console entirely on their own. With how much resources it takes to make AAA games today, they just can't scale up to the challenge. BoTW was in development for what, 5 years?

I don't care about whether the rest of the universe benefits from Earth life or not. Earth life benefits from Earth life. And I'm part of the Earth life complex.

So as a planet, we're going to construct durable spores and spray them out into the cosmos until that capability is destroyed. Then those spores will eventually contact other celestial bodies and activate as much Earth life as is possible in the environmental conditions there. That life will spread and evolve, possibly far enough to make its own durable spores in the future.

Thus, life will eventually spread to every available niche in the galaxy. We do not know whether Earth life originated on Earth or from some other planet's probe, and it really doesn't matter. We still have to build the ships and launch them, or the information amassed by the millions of years of evolving Earth life will be lost with the destruction of Earth.

That's nothing to the rest of the universe. But it's everything to us. My legacy as an individual organism is to reproduce fertile offspring. That's the biological imperative. If you never had grandchildren, you never really mattered to the current state of the planet. So what is that on a planet-wide scale? If you never build an offworld colony that will go on to build an offworld colony, nothing your planet did will ever matter.

How can we say US airlines are a free market when it's illegal for a non-US owned airline to operate domestically between US cities?
Hold on.

Poland is post-communist country. During previous system it maintained many companies that weren't economically viable. Shipyards weren't build because it was economically viable to have shipyard there or there. They were build because Communists knew it was easy to guarantee mass employment by expanding heavy industry. This means that any polish city on our coastline with population required to staff shipyard got one. This shipyard would then employ between 20 to 50 thousand people on its own, as well as give employment for countless other people working in the region in shops supplying those shipyards or their workers. People from nearby smaller towns would then flock to larger towns to work here.

When system changed, so did the need for our fleets (in old system we've even maintained the Pacific Trade fleet and Pacific Shrimpfishing Fleets!) and in result the shipbuilding and maintenance services plummeted. It was same all across the board. Coal mining, steel mills, farming, weaving. Millions of people had to find their place in new reality. It wasn't surprise that people elected those promising heavy donations for what was left from first democratic's governments mass privatization, closures and sales. This meant polish taxpayers were keeping nonprofitable remnants of heavy industry in meantime being fed promises next governments about reforms coming in that will reduce the burden and sitting down by TV after work to watch in the news how our coal miners or shipbuilders strikes made current govt cave in, postpone cuts and offer another "mobilisation package" of millions of taxpayer money for keeping those industries alive.

This was business as usual until the year 2004 happened and Poland entered EU, which has changed the rules of the game and started hammering our govts for dishing so much taxpayers money at non-profitable private companies, that thus don't have to really care about being competitive with others.

How is this judged? Depends on region you are from. Some areas judge this in plus for EU because "apparently EU respects our money more than our own government".

But for other this is proof that EU wants to kill our heavy industry. Occasional news of EU letting same slip for some company in Germany or France is then blown out of proportion by the media to whole shipbulding in the west being taxpayer funded being allright while suspiciously its wrong when its polish govt helping polish companies.
The statement should be there is a 99.5% chance that we correctly rejected the null hypothesis.

I agree it isn't careful wording. Thanks.
Yes, but in practice zoning laws, however well-intentioned, have had the effect of suppressing affordable housing, public transit, and local businesses. Some of my favorite neighborhoods are the result of an area being re-zoned to allow mixed-use development. Over and over it's been a successful way to transform a blighted, abandoned area into a vibrant neighborhood. And no, that's not just gentrification.

I guess that demonstrates your point that the poor would benefit from being informed, active participants in local legislation. They aren't. Encouraging more local legislation isn't going to change who participates in the conversation.

People always talk about Moore's Law falling apart, and it seems like people didn't see it coming. I mean, I didn't, I'm just a guy that reads a lot of scifi. But I always assumed whiz-bang mathematicians had already figured out, I dunno, the threshold at which a processor can be nanosized, or like how big a processor could become before the distances became too great that due to the speed of light further computational advancement wasn't possible. I mean, I know nothing about this stuff, like I said, I just read a lot of scifi and have a high opinion of all the smart folk researching this stuff. Would love to learn more.

Almost all will die without medical care.

Class III Hemorrhage involves loss of 30-40% of circulating blood volume. The patient's blood pressure drops, the heart rate increases, peripheral hypoperfusion (shock), such as capillary refill worsens, and the mental status worsens. Fluid resuscitation with crystalloid and blood transfusion are usually necessary.
There is some merit to that argument, but the rate of extinction is very high, and whole ecologies could be destroyed, which could create problems even for humanity itself.
Actually, the idea that government revenues consist solely of taxes is pretty much a middle class conception. The reason I mentioned Ferguson was that the DoJ report laid out how law enforcement and the legal system are used as revenue generators (in the case of Ferguson in an extremely racist way, but the point holds even in jurisdictions that aren't as racist). And in case you thought Ferguson got fixed: the police have been curtailed, but revenue generation has moved to building code violations.
> The process is important because what's getting washed away during sleep are waste proteins that are toxic to brain cells, Nedergaard says.

Evolution found a nice little optimum in sleep that works pretty well- use less energy during a time of the day that isn't a very efficient time to be awake while also cleaning out the brain.

This could be interesting for future research. Could we find chemical means to remove those waste proteins?
At the recent Mac Pro announcement, they also said there would be a new Apple-branded monitor, so they're not out of that game completely.
Right on. The legislators who consult with lobbyists behind closed doors and then produce thousand page bills would argue that they also make "smart" regulation. Didn't they talk at length to the people who knew most about the issue? Doesn't the bill address lots of cases that would never occur to the "dumb" person?

Yes, but the bill is totally ineffective for the average person and only helps the big players.

What we arguably need is more "stupid" (as in "keep it simple, stupid") regulation. Constitutional Amendments are written in this style; also some antitrust legislation [1]. Complex regulations are vulnerable to

a) hidden flaws - that tiny exception in article 57 paragraph 30 might turn out large enough to overturn all 56 previous articles.

b) regulatory capture - lobbyists will, of course, introduce as many exceptions as possible if the text is long enough.

c) the revolving door - if only a small group of people know the intricate details, they will soon be hired by the affected companies at a multiple of their previous salary.

d) compliance cost - only large companies might be able to afford the compliance cost, which ends up concentrating the market further at the cost of the consumer (Dodd-Frank, anyone?).

That is really the purpose of the amateur service. It is available to the general public with an inexpensive / free license. Business use is prohibited. There are a lot of other rules that you may or may not like but that is the purpose of amateur radio.

There are allocations across the spectrum including some bands that are very valuable today (440MHz, 900MHz, 1.2GHz). There are also allocations in bands with interesting properties such as high microwave, MF and short wave. The ITU even recently approved use in long wave bands which hasn't been available for amateur use for over 80 years.

Teeny Tiny Mansion: text adventure game formally proven to have no dead ends
I had so much fun with Super Mario 3D World that the new Mario is definitely THE reason to buy Switch. I bought the Zelda for my old WiiU just because I had the console and the game is basically the same as it is for Switch.

I watched some trailers from Super Mario Odyssey, where Mario was in a sandbox looking for adventures, like in Mario 64, but the sandbox was an actual real city and that really sold the game for me. The proper Mario games have always been massively fun which I can't always say about the Zelda games; the last Zelda before BotW I truly liked was Wind Waker. And there are rumors for a new Super Mario Galaxy game to the new console.

But all in all, these games are so far away in the future I can surely buy the new console in 2018 when I've finished BotW and its DLC's.
Actually a few years back there was this idea called "White Spaces" that was exactly that... If the TV airwaves were not in use in your area, you could use them for other purposes.

Here's what happened.

Out on the west coast, particularly in Los Angeles, there are no white spaces. In LA you can often get nearly 100 channels with just an indoor antenna. It is unlike any other TV market in the U.S.

Well because there were not white spaces there, they managed to delay the introduction of "White Space" hardware and also the spectrum database needed to support this service.

Then, of course, the cell phone companies came in to buy up a lot of spectrum. Because things are changing, the white space market got stunted. Now that the cell phone companies own the spectrum, there are no white spaces, or at least, much less of them than they used to be.

It's a generally forgotten story that the spectrum situation on the west coast is entirely different from the rest of the country because of the "ring of fire" topography that focuses settlement along the coast.

Out in the Northeast we find that the population is dispersed enough that there are not many transmitters near most sites, but that cities are close enough that there are not many transmitters near most cities. For instance, in Boston you have to worry about interference with Hartford and Portland, ME.

Don't get me started about 900 MHz, which is a non-starter because of the concentration of the electronics industry in Palo Alto, where 900 MHz is crammed with half-baked gadgets made by Stanford kids.
I agree with you, but is this also a symptom of another problem?

I'm thinking about it in the government-to-industry direction, and particularly where compensation is so high for these ex-govvies. Why are these people worth so much? Either because:

1. The regulations are so complex to get around that companies need to pay a premium for that knowledge. (Bad.)

2. The regulations have so many loopholes that I need to hire someone to help me do whatever it is I want to do, but legally. (Bad.)

Both of these would appear to favor entrenched players who can afford this talent.

Parsers don't often handle degenerate cases very well, but degenerate cases are quite common in text editing. (Think about how often work in progress code might actually parse correctly.)

Lexers/tokenizers handle degenerate cases very well (after many years of being used for syntax highlighting in IDEs), and some parsers intended for IDE consumption are getting much better at dealing with degenerate cases (the Roslyn family and Typescript in my experience have some very interesting work put into this area), but most parsers still have a long way to go. (Especially, because many of the most common parser-generators themselves have never bothered to concern themselves with degenerate cases.)
I really like this idea. It's a relatively simple approach that could work with any fs/backup strategy. It would be great if it wasn't dependent on Time Machine.

ZFS/Raid + ECC ram are complicated and expensive and are not even a 100% guarantee against bit rot.
Bytes/Unicode strings is the biggie for anyone doing I/O.
I don't think so: a GPU is application-specific, (not GPGPU if such a thing really exists), as are other ones. Lisp Machine chips were application-specific. Various application-specific accelerator chips have been designed for FP, video decoding, security etc.

Where you're right is that Nirvana was a chip company founded for this ASIC and I think the term "custom" is misnomer. You could argue that Google isn't a chip company so theirs are custom.

They can lessen competition by not building a big hub in an airport that that's already a hub for a competing airline. If they avoid stepping on each others toes with hubs there are less airlines to compete on price with. If Minneapolis is a hub for Delta, then they have a virtual monopoly for all the smaller airports in the area that need to first fly to Minneapolis before the final destination.
Not everything involving a voting booth is really democratic.
In my experience, Delta and Alaska both offer exactly that. Basically, they're charging extra for the exit rows. I usually find that they're available whenever the flight isn't close to full.
> There is no economic rationale for the government to tell airlines what extras they can and cannot charge for,

Is _your_ assertion backed by data?

Here's a study that disagrees with you, at least in terms of how many people have trouble with parallax (2 out of 43).
http://uxpajournal.org/the-effects-of-parallax-scrolling-on-...

Not to say that study is a comprehensive judgment on the design pattern.
I know it's going to be controversial but I learned this the hard way. I don't travel a lot but just did a Europe tour over 4 Airbnbs with a friend.

All four had some key distribution problem that required talking to the host, who was not always reachable. (Oh, you just enter this code ... nope, doesn't work.) They also usually only have one spare set of keys so if we wanted to return at different times, no luck. One host wanted the late check-in fee paid in cash and wouldn't issue a receipt for it, even a PM/text with "yeah, got your $X late fee". (reported)
The cap applies to involuntary denied boarding. The airline can offer whatever they want for volunteers. That does, of course, encourage a certain pattern.

It's not the same people op mentioned talking to, though; op laid an outline to possibly changing the mind of one person who disagrees with you. But to make a dent, you have to address the masses (and to do that, you have to coordinate with the masses on your side).
I'm going to guess your unspoken assertion is that these things would have happened anyway - or even faster, natch! - had the government not gotten involved and mandated ever-stricter safety requirements. I do not agree.
They'll keep their virtual channel, but viewers will need to do a new channel scan, so if you want to keep your viewers, you probably want to ask them to do it enough times that when the current frequency stops working they'll remember to do the scan.

Also relative/absolute imports can cause some confusing bugs.
The sticker shock on the non-pro controllers is much worse because without the charging grip, charging for 4 controllers is a massive pita.

That's really my biggest complaint with the unit, the difficulty of charging the joycons. Taking off the wrist straps each time is really bad UX.
My experience in Europe has been very hit-and-miss. AirBnB for the most part is as expensive as a hotel but without any of the guarantees or protections. And most of them seemed to be professional operations, with "Super Hosts" controlling 10 or more properties in the same city.

The locations are usually nice compared to a business hotel, but rarely special. The "local knowledge" is no better than that from Lonely Planet / Trip Advisor. And if something goes wrong then I have much less recourse than I do with a hotel. If the room is noisy or smelly, I can't simply get a resolution by talking nicely to the guy at the front desk.
Random thought: Could dreams be a result of the processing of toxins? In the same way some "toxins" cause us to hallucinate etc. so too could these toxins, as a side affect of processing?

Lots of species have gone extinct due to the meddling of human beings, which is something many might not consider to be nature running its course.
I'm with you on most of these, but disagree on the documentation. The main PHP code is quite well-documented, even from way back, which contributed to its popularity.
According to the principle behind Chesterton's Fence, it isn't safe to allow any species to go extinct before we can understand its role in the ecosystem.

Knowing that, we could selectively breed and engineer new species to fill the critical niches of species as they go extinct, so that the long-term viability of our own species and our allied species are never threatened.

The trick is understanding the point of certain threatened species as they are on the brink of extinction. It's hard to know if that species ever had an essential function if it isn't doing it any more.

Last time I mentioned having switched away from Vim due to its plugins not giving the functionality I get elsewhere, the reaction was not good. As with the parent comment, somehow it was my fault, as I'd failed to update to the latest vim, changed terminals, or '[understand] vim basics'.

I've been using various vi-alikes, including vim, since 1996, so, yes, I have used just about every vim plugin, used vi[m] on every terminal you can name, plus several you may have forgotten existed, and would guess I know the basics by now, considering 90% of what I've edited over the last 20 years has been through Vim and most of the other 10% has been through work-alikes.

Please don't insult people by making assumptions about their knowledge, experience and commitment. I - and the OP, I assume(!), have put the work in and have decided the grass might be greener elsewhere. Please respect that and be constructive. The OP seems to be trying to help others by pointing at what they did / are doing to try and live with another editor.
