You're not breaching any terms. This isn't equivalent because the developer is using the API, which has terms he agreed to.

The only license the developer has to display the copyrighted material uploaded to YouTube is the license YouTube grants him, which, per the API terms, requires him to show audio and video together. By violating the terms of his license, he's infringing on the content owners' copyrights.
It certainly can hurt your score. One small but real component is the average age of account.

Also, ratio of credit used to credit available is also a negative signal, which would increase when you close an account.

Those are somewhere between minor and middling factors. It's stupid we have to play the stupid credit score game, but a small decrease in interest rates can save you thousands when it comes to your mortgage.

But then I think the debate would turn into battle of axioms which is pointless.

The question should be, can/how would people with contradictory political axioms co-exist ? I think its not possible, people can only vote with feet and hope for best.

I unabashedly prefer living in the suburbs over cities. But I'm glad the "Urban Revival" happened, and I hope it continues.

In my own city, the rising home values have made it economically viable to pour money into formerly decaying row houses that were built for working class families over a century ago. So at least a lot of the ancient, unsafe wiring, plumbing, lead paint, asbestos, etc., is being dealt with by people who can afford to foot the bill.

I'm sorry that you feel people of color don't do enough to accommodate your feelings.

The real problem, you say, is that people of color don't spend enough time listening to white people's opinions on race. Yeah, right. Racism doesn't have to be fought on the white man's terms.

Anti-racist movements need white allies. This is true. However, anti-racist movements don't need white "allies" who refuse to check their behavior and refuse to listen to people who know more than they do.

Yes, some white people marched with MLK but most white people felt alienated by his rhetoric. MLK Jr. famously stated:

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that
the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward
freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the
Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate [...] who
constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek,
but I can't agree with your methods of direct action"

MLK could be talking about you here.

Why is it so hard to accept that people who dedicate their lives to activism have carefully considered their strategies and actually know what they're doing?

As jabl says, it is a question of the surface area of the blades.

Another consideration is the noise that they make. I am from rural Michigan initially, and the main push back from the residents (aside from seeing them) is hearing the constant / woosh woosh woosh / noise that you can hear if you live close enough. That said again that noise would be proportional to the area of the blades themselves.

I presume they become part of the background noise as these people have no complaints about the huge trucks that air break down the 2 lane highway connecting these areas to civilization and I notice it when I am back in the area.

I've found much of his book unpersuasive. But I think he's onto something with this fasting thing, as well as with not eating snacks all the time.
There's more than fat and water that could compromise Woo's 12 pound difference.

- Glycogen (stored glucose in your muscles/liver) is depleted
- Muscle breakdown may occur (gluconeogenesis-converting amino acids to glucose)

Glycogen is also a multiplier as it draws water into muscles. Less glycogen means less water.
I genuinely wonder what the point of fasting is, given that you can achieve the same results by just skipping carbs or following a keto diet. The ketosis these people get into happens because the body has no glycogen to burn, so whether you fast or you just skip the carbs should have the same effect.
I think we also disagree on what "freely" might mean.

Hello, I'm a Senior Software Engineer. I work as web applications developer more than 10 years.
Even a small fan slightly changes the weather. But let's say you want a 5MPH light breeze across the US. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale

The atmosphere is really heavy. 14.696 pounds per square inch, but you don't need to alter it all call it the bottom 10 pounds * (5280mile/foot * 12foot / inch)^2 * 3.797 million square miles across the US. = 1.5 ^ 17 pounds.

That is 1.25 x 10 ^ 17 joules. Let's say your doing this over 1 hour that's 35,000 GW vs 82 GW of actual wind power generation.

Of course a 50MPH wind (strong gale) needs 100 times as much power and drag is going prevent this from being even close to 100% efficient.

PS: I suspect I am really messing up the units here.
Hasn't this already been forecasted as part of a regular cycle? All of those tech yupsters in SF will eventually start families (maybe later than sooner), and will move back to the suburbs to have kids instead of deal with the space/schooling issues of the city.

Richard Florida is a very famous urbanist, but take his predictions with a grain of salt. He has been wrong before, self-admittedly so (https://jacobinmag.com/2017/08/new-urban-crisis-review-richa...). The descriptive aspects of this article might be right (the urban rush is slowing or reversing, for certain reasons), but his prescriptive descriptions- maybe less so.

Regardless of motives, I think it's blindingly obvious that getting 500 retweets within nine minutes for "wonder whether the use of the @DFRLab handle and talking about a bot attack is enough to trigger one" involves someone or some algorithm triggering a Twitter botnet.

>making art

>this pen is just so vain, shallow, and meaningless.

I hope you can see the contradiction here. These pens are the result of skills honed over time by people who are masters of their craft. These aren't mass produced items, and they will tailor basically every aspect of the pen to the customer.

You're paying for the artistry, quality, and customization. These things are more expensive when not mass produced.

Would I buy one? Not unless I just had a bunch of money that I had nothing else to do with. But for someone who talks about making art being a fulfilling venture, it doesn't make sense to scorn something that many people consider art.
Make decisions for your own life? I would hope we could at least agree on the definition of common words and this wouldn't become a definition wack-a-mole.
Microsoft has not killed Mono. Mono runs today on more devices than ever (do not think Linux, think Unity3D and Xamarin Apps) and has a unique factoring compared to .NET Core. It is currently very valuable to MS. Yes, Mono's class library implementation and Compiler are dead. But who cares. The better implementation won there. But the factoring, the runtime and e.g. the linker are all major assets MS will not easily throw away.

Mono is no longer the dominant Open Source .NET version but more an alternative runtime for special use cases. And for server use cases, .NET Core is by many factors better than Mono (stability, performance, ...).
Nah. Someone with $25k assets and $20k debt is substantially wealthier (i.e. can use their money to accomplish more purposes) than someone with only $5k.

Having a major asset (like a house) owned outright might be closer to "real wealth" territory.

A lack of English skills would certainly contribute to social isolation within an American company, so if anything, it helps drive home the point that social isolation exacerbates income inequality. I don't think anybody is making the argument that Apple bears responsibility for giving Ms. Ramos English fluency, and it's part of the reason why there aren't easy solutions. But you can't even think about solving the problem until you can start to think about its root causes.

I have had bad experiences as a Barclays customer. Not as bad as what was described in this article, but things that would be unacceptable at even the worst American bank. I really get the feeling that banks in the UK only begrudgingly provide retail banking. And commercial banking for smaller businesses falls under that umbrella too. I don't have any hard evidence, but I would have to guess their real profits are in other banking sectors like investment banking, or with their bigger commercial accounts.

>Property taxes are supposed to fund the services provided by the local government, not evict poor people for the benefit of the rich.

Not so from my observations.

But your taxing authority would like you to think so. They actually have always been rich too, and that's who they favor even if none of their people are individually paid that much.

Property taxes are directly based on "socage" and "quitrents" which provided a clear legal framework to formalize the right to evict poor people for the benefit of the rich.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/socage

OTOH inheritance or estate tax is based on the medieval concept of "relief" where the tenant's next-of-kin is supposedly giving relief to the landowner who would otherwise not know where his next Shilling was coming from once the previous tenant passed away. Or the landowner is giving relief to the surviving inheritors so they will not be evicted as long as they pay what amounts to a windfall bonus for the taxing authority who can then celebrate the death of a taxpayer in appropriate style. Whatever.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/relief-medieval-tax

US states originated as British colonies under this system and it has changed as little as possible with the continuous enforcement of your local constable.

There was also the effect which requires a tenant (owner or lessor) to produce enough from the land itself or remit in some other way, otherwise the parcel will be confiscated and someone else will be given a try.

The idea was to keep "all men are created equal" from coming true financially for the disadvantaged at a time when the King held ultimate title to all land. His local representatives would be today's county judge and tax assessor-collector, with the enforcer being the county sheriff and whatever his punishment at the time happened to be. No surprise that it seems so medieval to almost be unbelievable today, but that is the unbroken history.

Property taxes would not actually be necessary in a truly free country based on commerce, free enterprise and fairness.

Rather than perpetuating the differential between landowner and peasant as much as possible, untaxed land would tend toward flatter stewardship of the most desirable parcels allowing the maximum utilization of a limited resource when needed without the landowner requiring such a high income from the property itself to support all of today's effective "middlemen" just to retain title to it.

Interesting case study:

>Why should the rich person's luck be rewarded by forcing the poor to give up their home and move somewhere worse?

Sometimes that's the only reward being seeked by those whose riches originated in similar ways, or through no productive effort of their own.

Working with pure AST is a huge pain. One can trivially construct something that can not realistically be represented in an SQL dialect of choice.

You'll need to turn off your web server for a minute or two while certbot runs ('standalone' means it starts up a temporary web server of its own and binds to port 80 for a moment) but then it leaves the new certificate for you in a few files in /usr/local/ somewhere, and you proceed to edit the nginix.conf file yourself. It works great.

The US isn't a libertarian country, and neither is Switzerland, and public spending to GDP doesn't mean anything within the context of what I was saying because it doesn't take into account what the funds were spent on.

The US overspends on its military and mismanages its spending on healthcare. If Sweden's welfare / education / state has collapsed since I lasted checked it out, I'll update my views, but I certainly haven't seen rising illiteracy or poverty like we see in the US.
Without floating foundations, offshore depends a lot on the specifics of the oceanbed. But DONG Energy, which I think is the world biggest developer of offshore wind, recently gave a bid on a subsidy of zero for a farm near Germany. Final investment decision is still in a couple of years so they may pull out of the bid if things don't develop as expected, but not without paying a big fee.

So offshore is expected to get cheaper.

There's a comparison with nuclear down in the thread. I think one important thing to keep in mind here is that these cost reductions coming from industrialization and improved economies of scale are REAL. They happen year over year, has happened for decades, and they will surely lower the price even further in the future. Just like solar. And battery tech for that matter. It's incremental improvements.

Growing up around the tech industry in the 1980s, I found the casual racism and sexism of computer engineers difficult to deal with. The behaviour was "excused" by its being an exclusively white male niche, with "geeks" derided by society, excluded from the social core and under-valued as people. As long as this is the defining self-image of people in technology, framed by the US high-school geek vs jock enmity, there is little hope for change. This was not my experience, and it is not a frame that is useful given the dominance of technology in the wider culture. We need as an industry to stop behaving as outsiders and start to accept the responsibilities inherent in leadership. TBBT is one example of the antediluvian attitudes that no longer reflect reality and need to be changed. Cudos to the creator of this video for calling it out.
> Jean Boal, a cephalopod researcher at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, reported feeding octopuses in a row of tanks with thawed squid, not an octopus’s favourite food. Returning to the first tank, Boal found that the octopus in it hadn’t eaten the squid, but was instead holding it out in its arm; watching Boal, it slowly made its way across the tank and shoved the squid down the drain.

awesome creatures

I've seen octopus twice in the wild, both times while snorkelling.. the first time, it was less than a metre from me and I turned to beckon to my companion only a couple of metres away. When I turned back, it had vanished! The second time, there was one near our anchor at Folegandros. We stayed for a few days and it was usually there, near a rock which it seemed to live under Was fairly deep (8-9m) there, and reasonably busy so perhaps it was just ignoring us up above.

Not just the surface area, but also altitude from ground.

Unlike solar panels, wind turbines really want to be big. The cost/watt goes down rapidly as the size of the unit increases -- the reason for the cost of wind electricity being driven as low as it is is basically that the turbines have been made larger.
