>I believe the main reason for this is to prevent people from getting cheaper tickets for short trips by making two separate reservations.

That's a thing but it's probably not the reason for this.

The main reason for this is that you have to do something weird to end up in this situation, if you miss your first flight you'd normally contact your airline.

If you miss your first flight and say nothing to the airline, then they might rather reasonably assume that you aren't gonna show up for the return leg.

Member websites??
I had to research a bit about Yandex in order to understand the implications there.

The story seems to be something like this:

[1] Yandex builds an app to crawl Facebook without Facebook's permission
[2] Facebook blocks Yandex
[3] Yandex gets licensed access to Facebook's firehose

[1] https://techcrunch.com/2013/01/11/yandex-wonder/
[2] http://www.reuters.com/article/net-us-yandex-facebook/yandex...
[3] https://techcrunch.com/2014/01/13/yandex-facebook/

There's certainly a plausible Kremlin long con here - fund Milner to invest in Facebook, ask Yandex to build a crawler for Facebook, expect that Facebook would shut it shut down, then suggest via Milner that there should be a partnership between Yandex and Facebook, thus gaining official access to Facebook's firehose, to be sent directly to Kremlin for analysis of message proliferation, and further influence of the American public.

The fundamental mistake there (the final move that allows you to be checkmated) is the firehose deal, not the investment.

In any case, thanks for making me think through the possible attack vector here. Your comment is the first one that was specific enough that made me think through why this could be a cause for concern.

However, it's also worth noting that no churn would take a long time to show up.

ClojureScript + VueJS: Why so painful?
>The Establishment (of both parties) has the masses believing Trump invented racism, sexism, income inequality, etc. That before Trump there were no such things. Trump is to blame for racism?

No, "the masses" have never believed that. Not even Trump's most rabid opponents believe that he invented racism, for instance, merely that he is more openly racist than his predecessors, and that he is more openly supported by racists than his predecessors.
Pretty much the premise of Thomas Piketty's "Capital in the Twenty-First Century"...
The most ironic part to me is that the page is PHP, not static HTML.

Although this type of style isn't common with the online web these days, it's still visible in offline caches of popular websites (e.g. offline Wikipedia). Pages load so fast, and the total file size is much smaller because of the lack of JS/jQuery/React/etc bloat.
When I first used networked computers, you paid someone to do searches for you and got a reply in 3 to 7 days.

It pretty much sucked, honestly. Translation was obscenely expensive and not much better than Google can do today. You paid by the minute or, in my case, the university did.

It was pretty terrible.

Then, this fancy world wide web came about, only it had been world wide before that, albeit at a different scale. It was pretty great.

Now? It's much better in that it is much more useful. I can still make discoveries of novel content, but I seldom do. I search, rather than browse, when I seek information on a subject.

It's not nostalgia, I don't think. It's much more useful today. It was pretty terrible the first times I used it. In fact, it wouldn't improve for like a decade, maybe longer.

If it helps, I also hated computers back then. They were slow, unintuitive, and I had to learn to program to actually have a functional (well, useful to me) device. They clanged, beeped, and whirled. They made dreadful noises and did exactly what you told them to do, even if what you told them to do was stupid. They didn't have things like a recycle bin. Hell, they didn't even have internal storage.

One computer was so horrible that I had to buy 'memory chips' (RAM) just so I could use lowercase letters. All told, it cost me more than a brand new car. You know what I did with it? I played Zork.

Edit: that translation was done by a human, by the way. It could take a week, or more, to get something translated.

This has been standard across airlines for more than a decade. It's to prevent people from taking advantage of cheaper legs that comprise a multi-leg trip.
When the company declines, the "amassed wealth" evaporates, because the value of the company as a company disappears. There isn't any wealth to redistribute, and the holders of that wealth were diminished along with it.

Tragedy in Texas
Some time ago, I thought that semiautomatic weapons should be illegal in cities and densely populated areas. After all, why would anyone use a weapon when the human population is an order of magnitude greater than the animal or vermin population? Some time ago I thought that semiautomatic weapons and ammo should have rfid chips in every part and every round. Tracking the weapons might then be as easy as tracking toll charges when you have an easy pass.

But even these measures would not have prevented the slaughter that just happened in a rural small town. And unfortunately, there is no failure analysis possible.

I might not be the only person who remembers this time fondly for the profits it gave me.

During this time I was doing a lot of computer repair for family friends and other acquaintances that I volunteered with. Most of this work was unpaid for various reasons (either "Family Obligation(tm)" or me helping out some folks who didn't have enough money to pay for repair services). I often received a "Thank You" for the free service of the "it's broken, but have it -- maybe you can fix it" kind of variety[0]. Often, I'd explain that I couldn't do much with these things and would politely refuse, but on occasion, I'd run into an item that I knew I could sell broken on e-bay and recoup some cost, or I'd encounter someone who was embarrassed at not being able to afford to pay and would accept the item as a suitable gift to cover their pride.

Around 2006, I was given an exceptionally expensive plasma television from one of these individuals and really wanted to fix it up, so I took it apart and discovered that it was simply a case of some bulging capacitors. I have plenty of experience with a soldering iron but these weren't even difficult soldering jobs - they were large caps that were obviously part of the power supply component and having a box of these in the basement, I replaced them and ended up with a nice television that used until a couple of years ago.

While initially researching this model of television, I ran across complaints about failing capacitors which led me to some articles complaining about Dell motherboards having similar problems and a lot of noise about this being an industry epidemic, so I investigated the five or so PCs is my basement and seven LCD monitors. In the case of the displays, every one of them had bad caps on the PSU. In the case of the Dell PCs, it was motherboards. I fixed each and sold them for a few hundred a piece. I ended up buying a lot of broken stock on eBay based on descriptions of why they were broken and picked up a nice AVR, amp and sub-woofer that way saving at least 50% (I picked up the $300 amp for $10, my best purchase).

I had several of my own equipment die from this, including a SageTV media streaming device, almost all of the first generation of which had 6-7 bad caps. The lot of these sorts of problems started drying up around 2011/2012 for me, but I still encounter hardware that I suspect is a few bum caps away from perfectly functional. I even had my secondary sub, purchased in 1996, fail due to this.

[0] This happened more often than it didn't and was usually monitors. I recovered data from a bum hard drive for an old lady who had 4 different LCD monitors ranging from 1024x760-1280x1080 in her basement, all capable of only lighting the little LED in the front. It made no sense for her to have even one of these, let alone five. Sometimes it was the old PC that was a year old but failed and a replacement was gifted from the son-in-law for Christmas.
There's a lot of interesting stuff going on in this space.

> All of which were blatantly mismanaged

It's easy to be a monday morning quarterback about management. Even so, no company is immune from blatant mismanagement. It's not a no-brainer to effectively manage a large corporation, not remotely.

For an example, look at Apple in the 1990s. A series of CEOs were all unable to get the company moving again, until Jobs was asked to return. (And those CEOs were all experienced and well-educated businessmen.)

Does anyone know how to get ClojureScript working with VueJS? Specifically with .vue files?

I want to be able to write:

"data" (js-obj "message" "Hello Vue!"
"articles" articles
))))
</script>

<style lang="stylus">

</style>

Turns out, this is really hard! What's the proper way to set this up?

I'm surprised ClojureScript doesn't have a Webpack loader. People have been asking about it: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/clojurescript/HNuYCf... (May 2017)

Is this fundamentally a bad idea for some reason?

ClojureScript devcards are awesome: https://github.com/bhauman/devcards

http://rigsomelight.com/devcards/#!/devdemos.core

But if ClojureScript can't integrate with Webpack, it seems like a no-go. Is it possible?

(The `(js/Vue. (js-obj ...` is annoying, but macros can easily fix that.)
You would have to show that they at least knew, and preferably, could prove, that these patterns can tile the plane.
You do "actually" own your property, even if you have to pay a tax on it.

I think you're playing word games, because you're using an idiosyncratic definition of ownership and rent that no one else (except maybe in libertarian circles) uses.

He basically did super careful timing of the software to allow the main CPU to do the controlling. Because timing needs to be precise the software had to be perfectly timed down to the cycle.

Alta Vista allowed LexisNexis style querying against the web. It was magical. I only reluctantly switched off of that search engine after they quit indexing the web and their database became uselessly stale.

Those preferred viewing angles from Hill and Kroemer ( http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00140138608967228 ?) seem distinctly low. My uneducated guess is that those results, from people asked to use computer workstations in 1986, probably reflect hunt-and-peck typists' need to move their eyes frequently between keyboard and screen. That leaves you in basically the same situation as a seated touchscreen user or seated pen-and-paper draughtsman, for whom a diagonally sloped work surface is the best compromise between the near-vertical viewing angle of a cinema screen and the need to see your hands while avoiding gorilla arm. (While the dead-level surface of most modern desks is mostly optimised for piling crap on.) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8444990 For touch typing I assume that a more cinema-like viewing angle is better.
That doesn't matter is what I'm saying :) The package name of my fork isn't changed, and doesn't need to be, regardless of what else uses it. The only thing I had to do was specify 'use my fork's repo' in the Gopkg.toml file.

> Yet, these things seem to happen in Africa nearly exclusively.

If you look at animal flu transmission to humans, it's almost always central America or Asia, for really well understood causes. Europe has a history of importing those diseases from Asia, and, of course, America has a history of importing them from Europe.

All said, there's a reason to expect most of transmissions to happen on Africa. It's were we are from, and all the animals most similar to us live there.
I had an Apple II+ in 1979. I got it with the disk drive, but some of the software was still distributed on tape, because the drive was optional.
Go doesn't insist that your code lives in ~/go/src. It can live anywhere beneath a directory of your choice. Note that there's no requirement that GOPATH contains only Go source code. You can put your scripts and resources, as well as other source code, right next to the Go sources.

So you just put your code into ~/src/project/a.go and ~/src/project/b.foo (assuming a GOPATH=$HOME).
That's quite a black and white view of things, which may have been true >100 years ago. Today there are wealthy people in the lowest castes and poor people in the highest castes. Money and power takes precedence over caste.
There is not a lot of literature about them, but from what i found their thalami are connected or fused together. Since thalamus is the crossroads for many sensory inputs the senses of one girl can pass on to further brain processing regions of both brains , e.g. their eye signals diverge and reach both girls' visual cortices.

1. Each brain controls more limbs than usual, but brains are plastic and can learn do that. It seems they have separate "personalities" however and they recognize themselves as different persons. So they don't "control" each other's consciousness although they seem to be able to communicate thoughts (not clear how) can control the limbs of the other, and can see what the other sees (e.g. with closed eyes, they can see what the other girl sees). Whats fascinating is how one of them can manage to override the movement signals coming from the other. Surely further examinations during their life will show how action initiation/inhibition happens in their brain.

3) It seems no, they dont control a limb simultaneously. They seem to be able to cancel the signals from the other person, presumably because their personal signals are much stronger (possibly because they have learned over time to do that ) or they have developed some mechanism to inhibit sensory signals from the opposite brain. This may be happening already at the level of thalamus where they are connected. Since their arms can possibly be controlled by both brains through the thalamic connection, i wonder if they can train themselves to use primarily the opposite person's limb, e.g. hand. It might be possible since the wiring is already there - it seems to only require sensorymotor traning.

2) I suppose you mean they have some kind of learning problems. But not really, people can learn and have normal IQ with much much less brain than what they may be allocating to the opposite body. And it's not even clear that they do that. They essentially share a thalamus but not much else , and even so, they dont seem to have less total thalamic mass than they would have separated . Also , thalamus being a relay rather than a decision taking region, it doesnt seem it would affect their intelligence too much.

If you right click and view the images in a tab (at higher resolution!), they basically all look look like they've had a brightness/contrast and sharpness filter applied.

Being joined from birth, any and all memories and experiences formed in their brains that could be shared were shared, and so they would have similar associations and mental pathways formed based on them.

While it may be possible to learn and figure out patterns from someone else that you were connected to, I think it would be immensely difficult. You may have to learn the whole world from their point of view from scratch for any mental relations they communicate to have any meaning.

I live in a region with a real low rate and most of the cases in the news involve people that know each other. I've thought about trying to gather a profile of each incident, working back through time, to try to get a picture of the statistics rather than just relying on my impression. Of course, on top of being a fair amount of work, there are also issues with what sorts of information is ethical to consolidate like that (and especially, names of accused; my driving interest is the relationship statistics, so that is a core issue).

This is irrelevant when the problem we are considering is concentration of the market forces. Of course in this process many large firms will be swallowed by even larger companies.
