A gun's primary purpose is not to kill a human being by default.

A gun is designed to fire bullets, the bullet is designed to inflict intended levels of damage upon the target of choice. A single gun can have ammunition that ranges from no damage whatsoever to any target up to beyond lethal to a living target.

In other words, your gun's primary purpose is what you decide it is.

Looks great, is there any way to add VS Code extensions / configure the build process (linting, testing etc...) / Is that on the roadmap?

The author discusses it a bit here: https://github.com/tachyons-css/tachyons/issues/12

The key points from there, regarding your question specifically: 1) inline styles can't use media queries, while there are tachyon classes for different devices. 2) Ditto for pseudo classes. 3) The browser renders them faster.

But I think your actual question was something more along the lines of "isn't styling individual elements considered bad practice?" That has a bigger answer and is more philosophical. I, too, recoil at it, but I'm open to best practices changing or being considered differently in the context of web applications vs web pages.

For example, react and JSX changed my mind about mixing JS and markup and even styling to some extent.

> In my view, the answer is yes. At least at the macro level, there are no unintended consequences in the tax code. Double taxation has been widely known to anybody who has influenced the development of our tax code, for decades.

He's not really asking if that tax rate is intentional.
His real question is doesn't it seem unfair that a business is taxes for 48 cents on every dollar?
I was wondering if there were updates about this myself. There's been lots of work talked about researching the fluid / heat & weight dynamics, but very little about maintaining the vacuum - which seems to me a more fundamental problem here...
> Tbh the only thing I really miss is having ~/bin in PATH by default (and ~/lib, ~/share etc similarly picked up where necessary), since installing software in personal userspace is still pretty common in real multiuser environments; standardizing that would help, imho.

Not sure that will become standardized, it's a big security risk. Usually you want ~/bin to be at the front of your PATH so it takes priority, but the downside is... well that it takes priority. It's easy for someone to subvert the stuff in PATH because they only need your permissions.
My father was a chemistry professor. I always used to go into the lab with him on the weekends when I was a kid. I'd play with spent punch cards, or build things with the carbon-model "tinker toys" while he was working. One day I asked him if he would ever win the Nobel prize.

He said, "No. To win the Nobel prize you have to dedicate your life to your work. I'm too busy for that." I asked him what was more important than winning the Nobel prize. He replied (without a pause), "Being a dad."

It always stuck with me and given that I always respected my dad, but never did the same things that he did, I never had kids (much to his displeasure). But I will never do anything like winning the Nobel prize either, because I'm also too busy.... with whatever it is that I do :-)

If you like what you are doing and believe in it, then that's enough. Really, that's more than enough. But if you are thinking, "You know I'm not so keen on how I spend my time here," then you are in the exceptionally lucky position of not being too busy to do something else! You don't have to commit, just go with the flow.
You're mixing up personal dating preferences with something being "not okay". For example, I don't want to date highly religious people, but if I called their faith "a dark and sinister secret" people would rightly say I'm being a jerk.

I've been contracting with a major iot company for a couple years and their new product for the past year has been working on becoming homekit compatible. I can't say so far that I've been impressed with how things work on the Apple side. The concept of device vs service has been creating confusion for both our custom app as well as how devices are displayed in the Home app.

The review process is very cumbersome as well, the company I work for wants users using the Home app, but apple requires we create a homekit compliant app to certify the hardware. I don't understand why Apple can't certify the products with their own Home app.

Lastly there is no way to make our hub present itself for remote connections in Homekit, despite Apple requiring us to use chips certified to their standard. The user has to have an ipad or apple tv in the house to act as a gateway. This is a confusing concept to explain to users if they've been using our protocol for the last 2 years and now want to migrate to Homekit.

What makes you think Amazon is doing everything in it's power to avoid paying taxes just like every other multi-national?

When the first wave of criticism came after Musk presented his Hyperloop concept the argument I found the most compelling was that at those speeds if you change direction very fast or the lateral and vertical accelerations felt by the passenger quickly becomes uncomfortable or even unbearable.

That means that if you have some kind of obstacle on the way, such as a mountain, lake or even a city you can't easily swerve around to avoid it. You either have to anticipate your turn extremely early (huge turn radius) or you basically have to tunnel through it (extremely expensive).

For the same reason if you decide to pass over mountains you might have to start elevating the track well before you meet the slope because you can't brutally change your inclination from 0 to, say, 20 degrees brutally without inflicting a few gees to the passengers. So you'd basically build a ramp to smooth it up, which would also be quite expensive.

Has this been addressed?
We already do this. Large level dealers/kingpins are prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law and often receive extremely long sentences. However, as has been proven, it doesn't work.

Your point about Singapore is taken though, you raise a strong point. I think the issue though is that there are two effective ways to deal with drugs:

1. Totalitarian-police-state-type of enforcement (lets call it the Singapore model) where even low level offenders are hit were severe sentences.

2. The end of prohibition. This destroys the current economic framework supporting the drug industry; this would severely reduce the violence associated with the illicit drug trade.

What doesn't work is this sort of middle-of-the-road approach that we currently have.

Obviously, these two are at exact opposite ends of one another. I think we should pick the one that is more fitting with our national character and purported values of life, liberty, and individualism (the 2nd option...)
There was an interesting AMA on reddit awhile back, that's since been deleted.

SpaceX money, working out of SpaceX facilities, using SpaceX tooling department, the person giving the AMA was recruited by a SpaceX employee.

There's a fairly large number of legal entities making up SpaceX, but I haven't been able to find anything that looks like the boring company. Not clear to me if it's a seperate legal entity.

You can find a list here (with a few additions in the comments, and links to up to date sources): https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/4ifvir/spacex_subsi... I checked the sources, searched for companies with the name "boring" in California, etc. Nothing stood out.
It also means that sales tax is being avoided with a cash transaction. Although, I guess Amazon also avoids the sales tax...
Banks creating money is not quantitative easing. This is a misconception you probably got from a vast oversimplification of what QE is. Banks can create money even without QE (and have done so for a very long time now).

You call shaving cream on the hand a prank? VANILLA! (just kidding) Idk. I guess we were bad kids when I grew up because we would hack each other's runscape accounts and stuff and drop each other's stuff or transfer it to a fake account and hold for IRL ransom until somebody made you breakfast or something along those lines. Or we would watch somebody type their password on their laptop and if we caught it we would put a gross or lame picture on the desktop. I think if anything it actually built trust and friendship between us. Of course there was some drama once in awhile or you'd really make somebody mad, but at the end of the day we all stayed friends, and still are over a decade later. We had a lot of laughs, but it was like, ok who has the group not picked on recently? Time to prank them.

So while I understand in cases like yours it can be bad, I think calling for legal action and generally freaking out about it as a general rule is pretty lame. Kids will be kids. Shit happens. Life happens. Don't let people use your computer.
Not to condone the grandparent's zealotry, but the article does mention Rust by name, Dropbox is using Rust, and preventing data races is one of Rust's two raisons d'être. It's not off-topic in the least. There's no need to stoop to zealotry yourself in order to fight zealotry.

I've seen this logic about choosing a library but I think you are attributing a different rationale to it. I've seen it said if you find more than one library doing what you need, go through a hierarchy of criteria to choose and choose the first one that wins; in the event of a tie, evaluate the next point

1. pick the one with the most readable, understandable architecture
2. choose the one that focuses more on what you are looking for and not a slew of different things
3. choose the one with fewer lines of code

This third point is not "choose the more clever library" but more along the lines of choose the more straight forward and simple library. It's not code density you are evaluating but focus.

Well, that's an interesting problem to solve.

In the situation you propose, you have would-be car owners who now share a car. That eliminates the pollution involved in the manufacturing of one car from the story. And yes, if the car had to make back and forth trips from a central location, that would be inefficient. But I think the idea is to have a network of shared infrastructure (similar to uber), so that if someone needs a car, they can have access to the closest available one.
How about renting the cars with shared cost per mile? That would encourage users to always share them when possible.
I'm definitely excited for that followup, then. I think this is an incredibly common issue in both directions, and a surprising number of companies seem to make both errors at once.
There are plenty of breakdowns of the specific numbers that were given in the proposal. If you know enough to contradict one of those assessments or have enough knowledge of the engineering and current technology required to assess the proposal as a whole, feel free to submit your own numbers or point to the assessment you believe best covers the reality of the situation.

Otherwise, definitive statements about small portions of a rather large and complicated proposal that don't provide evidence for their assertions aren't really worth reading. Sorry if that comes across as harsh (it's less directed at you, and more towards the situation as a whole), but this topic is so fraught with people making assertions based on rumors and assumptions rather than the actual data presented that there's a real problem wading through the misinformed to get to the useful information.

I'm surprised we don't hear more about Japan's Chuo Shinkansen in discussions of Hyperloop:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C5%AB%C5%8D_Shinkansen

It's long distance maglev project that's already under construction, using proven technology, and it aims to cut travel times in half relative to the existing high speed line.

I find this project far more exciting than the vague plans and ideas surrounding Hyperloop.
I don't know those two, but Digix has a way which isn't contradictory: there's a token backed by a gram of gold, and another token which distributes dividends from transaction fees on the first token.
I read the article and no where does it make a case for why a blockchain makes any sense in the application. I read a comment by a person claiming to be associated with the project saying that "blockchain enabled" makes sense because the payment are p2p but that doesn't make sense either. Blockchains are good for pretty much one thing: a distributed ledger that parties can trust to be immutable. I can confidently say they're only inserting a blockchain here because it gets the idea more buzz.

Side note: I had no idea people paid so much to charge they're EVs. the article mentioned that a electric bill in Cali can be upwards of $1000/yr.

Edit for clarity: the $1000/yr figure is the marginal cost of charging the EV, not the entire bill
Sure everything is cheaper but tax revenue is also proportionally cheaper.

Average salary is 12k euro per year. So if you are collecting 20% of that as income tax, that's a small amount of revenue to work with and it is still enough to cover free healthcare and education.

My point being that everything is cheaper but in proportion to that salaries and tax revenues from those salaries are also much smaller compared to a first world country like Canada.
It's currently pretty annoying to set up gobolinux in "home-dir" mode. I tried, and the documentation failed to link to the correct scripts, and after searching the scripts out, I got a "permission denied" error when I tried to download them, and a request for a user/password combo that wasn't documented anywhere.

What I wanted to do was create an "append only" "everything is installed" operating system on top of ipfs. Gobo, with it's ability to have multiple versions of each component in the same tree, seemed perfect for that. The idea being that you just run an executable right out of the ipfs mount.
It's not short sighted. Most upper management in those sorts of companies isn't there for any kind of a long haul. They win if they can impress the VCs with what they shipped in the last few months, doesn't matter if none of it works, services are crashing and customers are unhappy. Imagine if organizations like NASA only recognized accomplishments like "added a button to such-and-such dashboard."

It's laziness mixed with incompetence mixed with the simple reality that too many companies consider it a competitive advantage that they're completely fucked up in their process and procedure but manage to somehow churn out something anyway.

And if you're not hitting your targets, why, move the target! Imagine how much easier NASA's job would be if they could say the moon shot was a success even though they only got something into orbit because we redefined what a moon shot was.
I'm not sure whether this is the right site for the job, but it's super important that this kind of resource exists for Ethereum. "Trustlessness" can only go so far since not everyone has the technical knowhow to detect scams for themselves. Getting trusted members of the community and having good transparency/governance on this kind of platform is key for it to take off.

SpaceX is an entirely separate company from Tesla, and not public. Investing in Tesla is not investing in SpaceX and Tesla shareholders have no rights to anything SpaceX does (absent contracts between Tesla and SpaceX) and the reverse. SpaceX shareholders (e.g. Google, Musk) would presumably be quite strongly against merging with Tesla. There's nothing stopping SpaceX from directly competing with Tesla if they wanted to.

On what basis do you imagine shareholders revolting? How would you imagine them doing so?

I disagree. You're right that there is of course no clear separation (the opposite also being true: most complex web applications will contain text content), but the differentiator is when the application side becomes large and complex enough to warrant a change in paradigm. Doing that for a little blog menu is overengineering.
Being a slut or a man-whore is not the same thing as "sleeping around a bit." If you're dating someone whose in their 30s, there's a good chance they've had a few sex partners, that doesn't mean they are slut, or "give it away for free," or whatever. They may even have been raped.

Sleeping around is perfectly ok on a personal level. Filtering your own sex partners by the criteria you choose is also perfectly ok. Both are taking personal control of your own sexuality even though they may seem conflicting to you.

(Personally I strongly prefer someone whose sexually experienced, but that's just my preference.)

Yes and that will be made available to his defense team through the discovery process.
I remember the throughput was also fairly low compared to high speed rail, and many of the savings came from questionable areas (running the tube through highway medians, stopping the hyperloop at the outskirts of the city instead of going into the city like rail does).
Sure it does. If I intentionally doctor data then it is low quality.

Yes, wow, a million times yes. I can't imagine starting a project from scratch, I've been using tweaked parts of BS4 in production and I can't imagine going back to writing my own media-query mixins, modal components, etc. Even in alpha it's rock-solid and HUGE time-saver.

I find it to be beyond compare, indeed many other frameworks will copy its component offerings and naming conventions.

Compared to 3, BS4 is really well-refined and solves a lot of issues. That + the flexbox enhancements make it a joy to use, personally.

hypothetically, forget friction (air, tire,..), then all energy injected with the accelerator must be remove by the break. So converting fuel to kinetic energy is only half of the emission. Breaking must save that energy and electric car (bike, truck,..) could do that.

I'm glad contractors in the comments are explaining the actual costs involved with different materials you install as a roof. This is why I hate sales & marketing... Half truths, white lies, etc just to make a product look attractive. When you dig a little, it just seems like a Tesla like.
Technology isn't the reason work-life balance is diminishing. People are the reason, technology has only enabled these people and the solution to problems with people will not lie in technology.
Higher risk of STDs, higher risk of cheating.

There's nothing morally wrong with sleeping around if that's your deal, doesn't mean I have to want to date people who sleep around.

(I happen not to mind because i) I have a high sex drive, people who've slept around usually do too so we're a good match, and ii) I'm not very jealous, I'd consider an open relationship with the right person. But there are legitimate reasons to worry about it.)
> we should legalize at least bupenorpine,

Like many other medications, there is a reason this requires a prescription.

It has a half-life of a few days, people die from overdoses like any other opioid and sometimes they make the mistake of having a drink (or a few) while it is in their system, which could kill them as well.

Overdoses of buprenorphine require exorbitant amounts of Naloxone to keep a patient breathing because of its half-life.

Nalaxone has a half-life of an hour or two in a healthy adult. Right now, a single metered and prepared dose of Nalaxone is roughly $4,500. [1]

> doctors who just charge too much

I agree. Suboxone is a racket, doctors need special licensing to prescribe it and they know they can charge desperate, dying people enormous amounts of money to treat them.

The title is misleading. The main argument of Professor Frank Kelly from KCL is not against EV but against all cars. So burn calories by walking and cycling or use public transits, which is appropriate for highly populated megacities with severe congestion problems, let alone public health concerns.
