The majority in Sue v Hill conclusively ruled that Britain is a foreign power. It has not been overturned and it never will. There is no Imperial Crown.

There are Crowns, which are legally distinct. The Prime Minister of the UK cannot advise the Crown in right of the Commonwealth of Australia; an Australian Prime Minister cannot advise the Crown in right of the United Kingdom; the Premier of New South Wales cannot advise the Crown in right of Victoria and so on.

Look man, 90% of what I know about nuclear waste I learned from the Wikipedia. Why don't you try it yourself? My sources are Wikipedia articles like

You are free to continue believing that nuclear power is too dangerous afterwards, it's certainly not all roses and butterflies.

Leaving aside subjective judgments if doing this is right/wrong, good/in-line with the Chinese culture or whatever else.

If you view the societal/political cohesion/consensus as a process of behavioral survival of the fittest (eg. requiring a certain flexibility to adapt) then taking away the flexibility that anonymous online communication affords your citizens might not be so good when/if it becomes time for the system to adapt. There will be less space to communicate and plan gradual change, skipping that possibility and going straight for more bloody forms of change. Say like the way we did things 200 years ago.

Personally and subjectively, I think this is a dumb and evil thing to do. But not unexpected.
The earliest notable one I can think of is the whole Kellogs and Breitbart incident. However, specifically relating to Google, I'd say it's the James Damore political silencing by Google. And even more recently, Youtube has started censoring controversial videos and putting them inside a "gimped" version of Youtube. I.e. no likes/shares/related videos. It really is turning into a 1984 scenario.

The real testament to Waffle House is the way more than a few hipsters of my acquaintance started going for a serving of post-party irony--then found out they really love hash browns in some variation of Scattered, Smothered, Covered, Chunked & Topped. Even more especially, it's the the vibe: Waffle House is one place pretense won't get you anywhere, so just chill with your crew and confess your sins as the sun comes up.
I think it's more a matter of being lucky enough to enjoy doing something which is valuable to others.

Another way of looking at this is: rather than basing your enjoyment of life on pursuing a pleasant hobby (which you may or may not be able to get paid for), instead derive your
enjoyment from doing things that need to be done.

In our society that translates roughly to "earning a living by helping others". If this is your source of satisfaction, you don't need very much luck.
It cannot be simple - it's there to intimidate the new employees/team members. The setup is never wrong, but "the way we do it here" - a particular initiation ceremony.

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

Actually I'm talking about Google account and services in general, not just gmail. Google account also exists as an IAM service for various Google branded products, such as YouTube, and a lot of other external services, which use Google account as the preferred or only authentication method. It is much harder to break those once you are locked in.
If you never discharged below ~30% or charged above ~80% of their true capacity, and made sure they always stayed within a comparatively narrow thermal envelope, your batteries would achieve the same lifespan.

The last quarter-charge in either direction is where ~80% of the lifecycle wear comes in, and temperature excursions account for much of the rest.

But by time in the air QR921 is still the longest flight in the world (17 hours 30 minutes, compared to Air India's 16 hours 55 minutes). Five other flights also are scheduled for 17 hours or longer in the air: EK449 AKL-DXB; UA1 and SQ31 SFO-SIN; QF8 DFW-SYD; and AA125 DFW-HKG.

Original: Environmental impacts of food consumption by dogs and cats

Anyway,it's not like the article seems like being a particularly good one, while it cites the concept that meat fed to pets is (largely) not suitable for human consumption, doesn't take into account the actual related impact and vaguely talks of post-processing the non-suitable parts.

The IMHO terrible part is this one:

>And much pet food probably is already edible and serves as a potential source of protein as a food of last resort; there are reports, both official and unofficial, of impoverished Americans eating pet food as a necessary supplement to their diet [55–57, 58, 59]. At any rate, the trend toward premium pet food with more animal products that Americans would recognize as edible indicates that pets are eating animal products that could also be eaten by humans and that there is direct competition with the human food system for ingredients in some of these products [10].

TL;DR: Your cat and/or dog is probably too fat, and you should somehow feel bad about it.

Oh, you're an evil person for bringing those up. Now I'm going to have COM and CORBA nightmares for days! It still blows my mind that we managed to write half a screenful of code, essentially just to call a function.

On the bright side, I will never forget a manager of that era who was very good with buzzwords but not so good with the technologies behind them. We had some existing software built using COM, Microsoft had just announced the first version of .NET (though no-one quite knew what .NET actually meant yet) and the Internet was taking off as a mainstream technology for the general public. The manager in question would wander around the department asking us if we were using this new .COM framework to build our new software...

I don't know what car you've got but I have a brand new Mercedes-AMG and I can do a surprising number of things with it without voiding the warranty. It's certainly as easy to work on it as on older cars, I don't need to go to the dealership to replace the brakes, the battery, the bulbs, filters, engine oil, transmission and diff oil. Manual explains how to jump start the car but certainly doesn't prohibit it. I've heard some horror stories with newer cars (especially French and American) but it's not like all new cars are horrible to work on.

Google has more than enough training data to pick up on this traffic with a high degree of accuracy using rudimentary machine learning.
The rules around flight numbers are, in simplified form, that the airline can use a flight number once per city pair per 24 hours. This allows reusing a flight number -- possibly with a different plane -- on a later segment, which is a concern due to flight numbers being limited to four digits via legacy systems (airlines with lots of regional affiliate and partner codeshare flights literally risk running out of flight numbers!).

In the US, larger airlines often use a flight number twice a day -- once for a domestic flight and once for an international flight. For flights departing to international destinations, it's not uncommon for one of the inbound feeder flights to use the same flight number.

Also, for a foreign carrier, the rules are a bit more complex; they can make an additional stop in the US, and can pick up more passengers, but can't do much more than that. US federal law requires that transportation between two points in the US take place on a US-owned carrier. So, for example, Qantas flies from New York to destinations in Australia with a stop in Los Angeles, and can pick up more passengers at LAX and even change planes there for the onward journey, but they can't sell JFK-LAX tickets.

I moved from London to Sydney last year, and have flown the route via Dubai (on Emirates) three times now. Takes about 24 hours if you have a short layover in Dubai.

I'd gladly pay extra for a direct flight, because...

- 4 hours quicker

- An aircraft issue at Dubai can add a day to your journey (as happened to a friend who visited at Christmas)

- Changing at Dubai always seems to involve twenty minutes of walking, ten minutes on a train to go between terminals and then ages on a bus to get from the gate to the actual aircraft. Total PITA.

And China is interesting in the other direction: certain cities in China allow multi-day "transit" without a Chinese visa, so long as your origin and eventual destination are two different countries. So, for example, you can fly into Shanghai from the US, spend a couple days there, then board a plane to Tokyo, and China considers it to be one long "transit" not requiring a visa.

Okay, but that's an upgrade issue, not a dead-end issue like a lot of people would assume from being told that there's no plans to add it to Internet Explorer.

Features get added to new versions, not old versions. Organisations using old versions will need to upgrade to new versions to get the new features. That's true of anything. It just happens in this case that Microsoft decided to go from Internet Explorer 11 to Edge instead of going to Internet Explorer 12. Saying that there's no plans to add support to Internet Explorer is like saying there's no plans to add support to Firefox 50 – true in a technical sense, but in practice, of course they add new features to new versions rather than old versions, and of course organisations have to upgrade.
Those two dams protect Houston. Houston will be flooded anyway, just like 10 years ago with Allison. What I'm more worried about is not the San Jacinto or Brazos, but the Colorado. If you look at the numbers now near to Austin it had already has a flow of 40.000cfs (!) and a height of 25ft. This is not sustainable, and more will come. The problem will be nationwide if the Colorado dams break, the flooding will be above 40ft and the STP nuclear power plant will not be able to shut down properly. I don't trust them at all. It is besides Palo Verde the most dangerous plant in the world. 2 highly experimental 1.3GW vessels (normal is 800MW) without cooling towers, cooled by seawater, and a series of security problems, which were all downplayed by management for decades. This is different to Fukushima. The wind direction goes over Houston, Austin and Dallas over Oklahoma to all major cities in the middle East (Chicago, New York). The USA will be no more after an accident there.
The STP sits right in the eye of the hurricane so it gets all the water.

I can imagine several reasonable belief systems that would justify attacking advertisers; for example, if you view advertising as a form of psychological pollution.

No. For what it's worth a very famous French website dedicated to FPS started asking for ID card scan before registering new members and to keep your account active.

I don't know if they still do that though, at that point I stopped visiting the website as much as I used to. It was like ten years ago.

I seem to remember in some case they are asking for it.

Show HN: Alphabetically Ordered Keyboard for iPhone
Exactly. The company I work for is currently developing a smart charging service that deliberately delays charging until rates are lowest and electricity generation is cleanest. One of our primary objectives is to reduce gas peaker usage and shift load to renewables. It also results in payouts for the EV owners of course.
The QWERTY model keyboard was designed to be used on physical typewriters and keyboards where we use all 10 fingers for typing. The letters were arranged in QWERTY because it’s the optimal the order of popular usage of keys. So frequently used keys were arranged together closest to all the fingers.

Today we only used both our thumbs to type on our smartphones and there is no need to keep following the complex QWERTY arrangement (unless you are a trained touch typing ninja who knows the full QWERTY order like the back of your hand).

It’s time to follow the obvious ABC order of keys in smartphone keyboards
I was living in Udon Thani in northeast Thailand in the year of the great Bangkok floods.which is well over a ten hour drive from Bangkok. We had heavy rains but no real flooding. But when Bangkok was hit, a huge part of the supply chain for the whole country was trashed. The western style supermarkets were almost empty for months after the floods. It was impossible to buy basic things like instant noodles and disposable diapers for months. But fresh food, vegetables and meat were mostly from local sources so the wet markets where you traditionally shop every day for food were largely unaffected. It was the "modern" infrastructure which shown to be little more than a house of cards.

I would imagine that in so-called developed economies, there isn't anything except the "modern" supply chains. If a supply chain is using terms like "just-in-time" then there is no way of dealing with things when infrastructure goes down.

You guys are so screwed....

Partly what henrikschroder said, but it's also the trip just takes longer with a connection. And after being on a 7 hour flight, I never look forward to getting back on another one. Also I typically have to go through customs and immigration in the stop between the two long-haul fights, so that adds a whole additional level of hassle that would be avoided with a direct flight.
Something like that ran through my mind before I clicked on the install button. It's the small publishers and individual content creators who suffer from AdNauseam, not the big media companies. It just kills the small players and helps big companies grow bigger.

The cases for each personally:

Vue - It's been described as "Angular 1 without the flaws" before to me. I think it'd probably be the easiest transition. It also seems to have the advantage of being able to be sprinkled in lightly or heavily, dealers choice.

React - As someone who loves functional programming, Redux immediately clicked for me, and I do enjoy that idea of state. However, it seems like a lot more work to learn it coming from Angular 1 for someone who is doing the minimum front-end and when it comes to any serious project will be working with a true front end developer.

I'm just hearing of Moon obviously but I'll be keeping an eye out for the name when I am forced to switch from Angular 1.
Agree on Youtube, getting away from it is much harder because the expense of mass data storage causes a natural monopoly to form.

Kotlin: Not a Scala Killer, Just Better Java
A good modal library is going to weigh in at a few thousand lines of code across JS, CSS and HTML for a reason.

No. Sorry, but that's just nonsense.

A modal is probably going to be rendered as an HTML div element, styled so it appears with a fixed centre-viewport position.

You probably also want a second div as an overlay to de-emphasize the rest of the page while the modal dialog div is visible.

You might want a standard X button to close the dialog, which hides the above when it's clicked.

You can write all of that in less than a screenful of code, and you can do it using nothing but basic web standards that are supported as far back as IE8 and iOS5 -- in other words, well before the browser generations that even Microsoft and Apple themselves still support today.
