And as soon as they get caught, the countries so offended against will call that (rightfully) a flagrant lie. The treaties were written specifically to prevent such a use of diplomatic privilege. That adjective "official" in the Convention is literally meaningless if a country is allowed to claim anything is "official", and trust me, treaty writers do not insert any words without a reason.

Not only will the mods ban stories if they're offensive enough, but quite a lot of "social justice" stories get flagged into oblivion by the userbase. All sorts of things vanish from HN. Some of which is necessary.
I have given some thought to this problem and I think it's technically solvable. The main problem is that it would be non-profit so less incentive to build it. Anyone want to kick around ideas?
The people who genuinely "were just following orders" in WWII would probably be shot for disobeying those orders and then their families treated as if they had been traitors.

It's not about quality, but rather more about quantity. I don't have the time to vet every package.
There are quite a few products that attempt to be a web based equivalent of Access.

The two that seem to be the closest to me are Google's AppMaker (https://developers.google.com/appmaker/) and Bubble.is (https://bubble.is/). I call these two out because they both allow for coding when the "default path" runs into a wall, and both include more than just forms and tables. However, they both still have warts. Appmaker, for example, has a pricing model problem. It's $10/user (GSuite), so you can't use it to build anything that involves casual outside users, like an employment applicant tracking system.

The next tier down are somewhat similar products that have been around longer. Like Quickbase (http://www.quickbase.com/), Caspio (https://www.caspio.com/), Airtable (https://airtable.com/), Zoho Creator (https://www.zoho.com/creator/), Rajic (https://www.ragic.com/), and Knack (https://www.knack.com/). These all work great if the app you're making fits into their somewhat fixed view of the world, but hit a hard wall if it doesn't. Some of them also have the same pricing model problem I mentioned in the preceding paragraph.

The one I really thought was going to emerge as the market leader was DabbleDB. Sadly, Twitter acquihired them and shut it down. Here's one of the demo videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wZmYMWKLkY It was very ahead of it's time back in 2007.

>Storage makes it better, but even just being able to charge your laptop, phone, car and run your air-con during the day would be a win.

You mean the car that is parked during the day in your office parking lot a few tens miles away and the laptop and phone that you are carrying with you?

Seriously, without some form of (efficient) storage system, the whole thing depends on exchanges on the grid.

Off grid - as I see it - is a very nice solution (still with some minimal storage) for a hut in the woods, where everything is specifically designed for low power (and where you don't have a dishwasher, a washer, etc.), replacing - in a more environment friendly way - the noisy generator, but still it remains something good for youe being there on - say - every other weekend.

Having an el-cheapo (diesel or gasoline) small generator for emergencies is handy, but only for those hopefully very rare emergencies, the cost for a good quality (suitable to run often and in several hours stretches) generator and for the fuel is not competitive with solar (though of course the initial cost of solar is still higher).
In years I might have had 3 breakage, it didn't feel like a specific issue because for instance ubuntu upgrade install didn't work well enough either.
It had a _lot_ of lateral movement at touchdown. A "sticky" valve slowed the engine's response to throttle commands. That led to a feedback loop as it got further and further behind (you can see it gimbaling significantly back and forth).
Even before right to try laws, terminally ill patients were the preferred clinical trial subject. It's much easier to justify putting a risky chemical into a person who's about to die.

You can discern nature reserves, public parks and "wild" parks when you look at OSM, for example. That still leads to some place to develop on.

There is no debate. You can always build up around a city. Housing prices bubble shows they're not building fast enough, by far.

Same thing with bunny hopping in Quake, Half-Life and subsequently Counter-Strike. For an even deeper cut there are at least for older CS-games a sub-genre of surf maps specifically about navigating large areas with lots of pitfalls through that feature (previously bug).
I agree, that having companies compete on bringing out the best products or services is different from having countries compete on taxes. Just to clarify, countries do not give big corporates clever ways to avoid paying taxes totally, but do give them ways to pay less taxes in order to make themselves more attractive. There are various reason they do this, but they only do it if they as a location is not attractive compared to other locations.

The issue is more complex if you dig deeper and start comparing the US and EU. As a general rule western Europe has lower corporate tax and higher income tax than the USA. If you dig deeper you can also see that certain business cluster do not need to give any tax breaks to attract and keep companies, because they have a thriving business cluster. Think of the wine-growing industry in California and the flower-growing business in the Netherlands.

My main issue with centralizing the tax rules is that it will hurt the less attractive regions of Europe.
Not an MS Access clone, but a good 4GL easy database tool I like is called DataFlex [0]

Very easy to use and you can create basic applications without additional programming. Although of course it helps if you know how-to write code.

There's an embedded database that you can use out of the box. But you can also use any of the main SQL Database engines.

For building commercial applications you have to buy a developers license.

For building your own non commercial applications you can use their free personal license. [1]

Disclaimer: I use the language professionally and run an open source website that has free tools and code examples in DataFlex.

One of the things several colleagues have said to me over the years is that Access tended to be a dangerous tool in a large organisation: like Excel but on crack.

You end up with a large number of autonomous, undocumented systems built on an ad-hoc basis by personnel who were often not even in a technical role.

Personally I think that sounds like a great way to leverage the domain expertise of lots of different employees...but I guess it can become unwieldy. I know I saw some amazing things built with Access back in the day...
Not all VM host softwares are created equal. One of the other solutions out there may have higher performance for your needs. As a sibling comment said, there's ways to troubleshoot performance as well. With a modern system and the virtualization instructions baked into CPUs, most VMs should approach "near native" speeds.

> When a family member, spouse or other loved one develops an opioid addiction — whether to pain relievers like Vicodin or to heroin — few people know what to do. Faced with someone who appears to be driving heedlessly into the abyss, families often fight, freeze or flee, unable to figure out how to help.

OK, if someone wants to be an opioid addict, why not just let them? The "driving heedlessly into the abyss" aspect seems mainly due to opioids being illegal and expensive. I mean, do we use such language about diabetics? Do we expect them to manage their diabetes through diet alone?

I'm not aware of solid evidence for health risks associated with chronic opioid use alone. Excluding opioid addiction, I mean. But please do share.
Ubuntu or Mint (which is based on Ubuntu) would probably be the easiest "just works" distros. I'm told Mint is preferred for people coming from a classic Windows background but your mileage may vary.

Fedora would be the other major contender. It's developer friendly and pretty easy to use. One thing I would mention is that they take a stronger stance on most open source software so you have to add the RPMFusion repository if you want to use closed source software that's excluded from the main repository. Fortunately this is not difficult.

The great thing about all these distros is that you can get LiveUSBs so you can try them before installing. I'd highly recommend doing this.

> Arguably, home routers are servers. People routinely "operate" home routers. So, people routinely operate their own servers.

This is quite arguable, as most people plug in a router, or even more commonly, have Comcast do it for them.

And you are closer to the mark with the "configuration of a linux distribution on the command line" bit. Look at adoption rates for GPG and some of the blog posts/comments on it. [1],[2]

If Security Professionals are giving up on what is not a wholly complex system in general, it sets a fairly clear bar on what is acceptable anymore and what isn't. Apple's Messages, Signal, Telegram, any of these chats with the built-in End to End Encryption is what is mostly needs to be; you just open the application, and the work is done. Of course, this means in some way centralization and trusting a monolithic org to play nice.

Currently a lot of the social media alternatives fall victim either to the lack of traction or the complexity of participation, and adhering to the privacy and security ideals sometimes requries complexity.

Don't get me wrong, I'm firmly in the RTFM camp and protect your privacy by whatever means, but that means concessions, and often concessions people don't want to give. Malware would be cut in half if people just ran NoScript, but that would break a lot and require some knowledge of what happens on the pages they go to. People would probably be happier with alternative social media platforms that are more communication focused, but that requires sometimes more configuration than they're willing to bother with.

The ideas proposed by alternative systems typically aren't that new to begin with and have been around for ages - when complexity is a requirement for the technology, there isn't really a post-enthusiast era. Many tech leaps were very simple on release; consider BitTorrent. Get client, download torrent, a file appears. It was pretty magical, and new.

Now try rg (ripgrep). It has a much more robust file ignore handling than ag in my experience.

When I last tried, ag couldn't handle this in .ignore file:

!foo.1
foo.*

That would ignore all foo.* files except foo.1 in rg.

Also rg is a bit faster than ag for my use cases.

The Moon is not a super useful analog. It lacks any sort of atmosphere. Mars has just enough atmosphere that you have to deal with it, but not enough of one to be especially useful (parachutes buy you a little, but not much).

In fact, some of the best data and tests we have about landing big things on Mars come from SpaceX's first stage booster landings. The burn that the first stage does at the edge of space to slow down is in an environment very similar to that of the Martian atmosphere.

> Desktop Linux, especially when your employer runs Exchange, is a barrel of pain

That's been me at my current employer. The whole dev team moved to linux, becuase it's just so much more productive. But the #1 pain point is Exchange.

I tried Evolution, which connected to Exchange without any issues, but the mail client itself was buggy as hell. I tried thunderbird with some plugins (can't remember which ones) and that didn't work at all. Then I found out about Hiri. I thought it would save me, but it couldn't connect to Exchange at all.

So our last resort was outlook webmail. What a fucking pile of garbage, but at least it "worked".

I lived with that pain for months until I discovered davmail [0]

I could easily connect thunderbird to exchange via davmail. I got all my email, contacts and calendar synced up nicely with exchange. I have had 0 issues fo far.

> VAT is a tax paid by the "last" link in the chain, the user, not by the supplier.

Not quite. As Wikipedia puts it, VAT is collected incrementally, based on the surplus value, added to the price on the work at each stage of production.

That is the actual tax incidence. That the tax payment is channeled via the last link in chain is just a technicality relevant for the most efficient implementation of this incremental scheme.
The comment only very tangentially touches on the subject matter of the GP. Crucially, it seems to suggest that Maven is at a higher "phase of evolution" than Gradle (which is anachronistic) which is the opposite of both the GP and my original claim. A valuable contribution might be to explain why Gradle belongs at a lower level of evolution from Maven.

Further, the comment is written in a pretty grating marketing-style: "We at Communitivity see build ecosystems..." and ends by plugging a product. Also, military analogies are pretty weird when addressing an audience of people who on average have substantially more experience with build systems than with military command structure.

I looked at your comment history, and this is not how you write. (Also, more of a curious aside, you've had a profile with that name for 6.5 years, and this comment seems to be the first record of you being a plural "we" launching a product?). You clearly understand the style of this community and how to contribute, and should not need explaining why copy-pasting an only barely not-off-topic marketing blurb would be unpopular.
