You might be looking for something more car-like such as the electric TWIZY (https://www.renault.co.uk/vehicles/new-vehicles/twizy.html).

For extra wierd, try the diesel Aixam Coupe (https://www.aixam.com/en/licence-free-car-coupe/gti). In the UK these are classified as quadbikes and can be driven by moped-only licensed drivers (aged 16+, normally you need to be 17 to drive).

I think you are deliberately missing the point of the last line. Of course free access to a wide variety of education is a good thing - no one is doubting that.

But gatekeeping recognition for that education behind a paywall ensures that we are judging students not solely on their ability, but also on the size of their wallet.

There is nothing "anti-human" about acknowledging that, in an educational era of plenty, our systems are still failing those without the means to pay.

Can you show me a quality metric where American fruits or vegetables are consistently different compared to other countries? These are commodities, after all, so there is little differentiation. Is it visually, callorically, or nutritionally different somehow? I immediate went to visually, because one does notice this in the US compared to Latin America.

Everyone is jumping on me about tomatoes, but Europe has the same bland greenhouse tomatoes in my experience.
I've bought fake makeup on Amazon 3x. One was a fake urban decay eyeshadow box, another was fake Ben Nye powder that was supposed to be "banana powder" but was really just baby powder with yellow dye. And last week they sent me fake face cream. It's so annoying.

Now I only use sephora.com. Sucks.

Wish Amazon cared enough about customers to fix this.
> or let me offload compute to something that has big fans.

This one puzzles me. Back when I used a MacBook the fact that it was mostly silent was one of the biggest advantages.

Also, somewhat honestly: I don’t see any reason why Mac users can't offload to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud?

How does “government price control” relate to simply forbidding double sale?

All NN does is to disallow ISP from tiering the internet and double dipping on both sides of the network.

> Musk’s claim that the truck will be able to accumulate 400 miles of charge in 30 minutes would allow the Semi to achieve the first true long-haul ranges in the industry. A driver might start the day with 500 miles of range, top off the battery at lunch, and be able to complete driving the U.S. legal limit of 11 hours in a day with range to spare. But doing so would require a charger unlike anything seen before.

Stupid question: Why is it no option to simply hot-swap the battery? (Possibly with mechanical assistance)

If you're already talking about a scenario where the charging happens at motels or gas stations, it seems easiest to have a stock of batteries that you can charge over longer time and swap them out whever a truck comes in.
Open but not free is what Microsoft and others do/did in some projects. That's one of the reasons why Stallman is so eager to draw the line between open and free software.

Example: Java's stdlib source code is open for you to read it but you're not free to modify it and redistribute it according to your likings.

(A few) People pay developers of free software to get support (e.g. some libs), for professional editions (e.g. some IDEs), or to support further development (e.g. some Android apps).

What do you mean? It´s not just that there is an ability to short, each contract has necessarily someone standing at each side.
Please take a refresher on what net neutrality is.

Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality

The government is not controlling the price, they are mandating that ISPs treat all network traffic the same.
But decreasing the average usage of customers, despite fixing maximum will mean profit. If somehow video sites get blocked, the average internet usage will very likely drop down many fold.

If you’re referring to my comment (which is now flagged, for no reason other than it being less than sympathetic to HC’s argument that the Russians ruined the election for her - you have to love HN), I wasn’t flaming anyone. I simply pointed out that IMO this FCC incident is much more serious than what happened in the election. Leaked but real emails about unethical/illegal conduct did nothing more than make the voters better informed about actual facts, while this incident intentionally presented false data to the voters at the FCC, who may rely on it in their decision making. The latter is infinitely worse IMO. One involves better informing the voters, the other involves lying to them.
I am using a throwaway for obvious reasons. But having been to both HK and Shanghai, I can say there is a world of difference between Westerners in both cities. The ones in HK working in finance at least have a college degree. They know how to behave in a proper surrounding. The ones I met in Shanghai are almost all trailer trash that have nowhere else to go. The filth coming out their mouths is astounding. You can see why a lot of Chinese people don't like them: egotistical and cynical. They also have chip on their shoulders. That's when you know how a person is brought up truly matters.

Why should ISPs be disallowed from charging what they like for the product they sell? That's the entire point of a free market.

I understand the issues inherent in leasing the lines, but fundamentally companies should be able to price their offerings as they wish.

There simply needs to be fewer barriers to entry for new ISPs to come into the market.
Good point. I'm thinking of this custom solution only because of the simplicity of this requirement(NFS backup). I'm planning to prepare a thorough documentation of what I did to build this solution and how to maintain it.
Rarely do companies do things from the goodness of their hearts, simply because it would be nice for other people. I don't see why anyone would do it for them. If they want a feature they should get it done themselves.

Perhaps because San Francisco has a decently-sized Korean population who would like a memorial that acknowledges what was suffered since there is no way the Japanese are going to own up to the events? Why put Holocaust memorials in places like the US or UK when it did not happen there? And quite frankly, if it provokes some sort of response one way or the other from Japan then that is a good thing.

You simply cover your futures position before expiration (buy as many contracts as you'd previously sold). At the same time, you can sell your BTC for USD.

In futures markets, almost no one takes delivery, but instead they close ("cover") their positions before expiration. For example, airlines use heating oil contracts as proxies for jet fuel, because they are similar products whose prices move together. But airlines will never but heating oil on the futures markets to put in their Boeings and Airbusses.
As someone who drank a bottle of wine every night for 2 years flat, I totally agree.

There is a world of difference between having a drink habit and being alcoholic.

Now I can go for months at a time without touching it. The trick for me is not having it in the house. Getting plenty of exercise helps a lot, if for no other reason than it gets me outdoors and breaks up the routine.
Taking a car is almost certainly riskier than taking a subway in terms of making that meeting. And it may, unless it’s late night, even take longer.
I'd like to see a harder version of this test (designed to detect milder impairments), and I'd like the test to be auto-generated so I can run the same test on myself for example once per month so I can draw a graph of any decline in performance.

I'd try OmniOS for a smaller scale private project to learn it.
Eating an elevated amount of proteins on the often recommended ketonic diets (high protein, low carb) makes your kidneys work harder to process this elevated level of protein, expelling more sodium, calcium and potassium, which also increases the risk of kidney stones.

If you're in really good health before you start a ketonic diet, it's probably not too much of an issue. But if you have an underlying kidney condition already, it could exacerbate that condition and possibly lead to kidney damage or failure. If you are diabetic, in the worst case it could lead to ketoacidosis and coma, and potentially be life threatening.

Add to this that apparently most of the dramatic weight loss seen on a ketonic diet is simply water weight, in some cases people also start losing muscle. That's not what you want, obviously. A ketonic diet is a really poor choice for someone who wants to put on muscle.

There are better and significantly less dangerous ways to lose weight.
I came to say something similar. I can even expand this - it isn't so bad being a straight white girl either. The main thing is that you need to be a pretty average person. Most small towns this basically says you are white, straight, fairly traditionally minded and christian.

Being an outcast in a high school with a population of less than 400 isn't easy because most folks know everyone else.
It's possible but I have lived with an alcoholic and, from my experience, I'd say two things to this.

One - voluntarily admitting he has a problem is a major clue that he isn't an alcoholic.

Two - half to one bottle of wine wouldn't touch the sides with my ex who would easily do that amount before breakfast without anyone even knowing.

> This quotes netflix as having 37% of traffic in N.A.

Its irrelevant who creates this traffic. Wether it is The Pirate Bay or Netflix or Spotify or Google or DDoSers. The traffic is there. Only in the latter case do you want measures from the ISP(s).

ISPs could install CDNs.

Apparently the ISPs can handle the bandwidth, else they'd take measures. If ISPs can't handle the bandwidth they need to charge their customers more, decrease the overal max bandwidth the customers have, or decrease the monthly bandwidth caps. It is that simple.

> It's like you build an autobahn for everyone, and then one monster haulage company moves in and dominates the road, and the road isn't really as useful as envisaged.

You make it seem autobahn usage is unfair (that's a debate in Germany as the German government argues or argued tourists use the autobahn without paying so they're considering requiring a vignette).

What you do to deal with this is you increase the tax owners of cars pay, introduce a "vignette" as they have in Austria and Switzerland, or introduce toll roads as e.g. France notoriously has. Trucks pay more, but there's no other differentiation AFAIK. And each vehicle pays.
All network traffic is the same. As far as an ISP should be concerned, it's all just bits flowing through a wire. When they start characterizing those bits, net neutrality is violated.

The goal here seems to be to have that "typewritery" look that people associate with writing drafts, but add a bit more readability than is possible in a monospace font. Fair enough, though I'm not sure why having exactly two character widths is preferable to having three, or five, or simply designing a proportional font with wider typewriter-style characters.

For programming, "duospace" works exactly like any other proportional font. The fact that some letters have the same width doesn't buy you anything in terms of alignment. Unless your style guide forbids the letters "m" and "w" in method names. ;)

I use BorgBackup for backing up my personal website (in the order of a few MBs) to learn. But, my use case in this quest is to build a long-term backup solution that we can rely on. (10 years+). My concern is Borgbackup being updated so frequently and being actively developed to add more features. What is the chance that I can read a backup that I make today 10 years from now?
I do NOT want to maintain a directory full of borgbackup binaries of different versions just to be able to access older backups. Same goes with running unupdated version of Borgbackup for 10 years..
Hence my interest to keep things stupidly simple with NFS --> ZFS server.

I think, that's rather an argument in favor of Minetest.

It's true that Java (which the original and mainly modded version of Minecraft is written in), is widely known and generally allows to write functionality relatively quickly.

Minetest uses C++ for the engine and Lua for its modding API.
C++ is much better suited for a game engine, due to being closer to the hardware, using less RAM (due to not being executed in a virtual machine), not having a Garbage Collector, which halts the universe for a short moment every few seconds and is the main-reason for Minecraft still having lag spikes after years of optimizations, and then miscellaneous things like array boundary checks, but also just more game libraries being available in the C++-context (Minetest for example builds on top of Irrlicht).

But Lua for the modding API is the critical part. Minecraft doesn't have a modding API. To this day, you still mod the original Minecraft by decompiling its code (which is relatively easy thanks to Java), making your changes as a professional developer at Mojang would have to make them, and then bundling your modifications up and releasing it to the world.

As a result, it's just really not easy to do at all and mods regularly break when Mojang releases a new version.

With Minetest's modding API on the other hand, it's really easy to just quickly make some changes. I for example always disliked that digging stone gives you cobblestone, which you then have to smelt in order to get stone again. Changing that took me less than 10 minutes with no experience in Minetest modding.

All I had to do, is to find the right file and then in this section:

minetest.register_node("default:stone", {
description = "Stone",
tiles = {"default_stone.png"},
groups = {cracky = 3, stone = 1},
drop = 'default:cobble',
legacy_mineral = true,
sounds = default.node_sound_stone_defaults(),
})

...change the Drop from default:cobble to default:stone.

I then also added in a crafting recipe to convert stone to cobblestone, if I ever want to use cobblestone. Again, find the right file and then just add this:

minetest.register_craft({
output = 'default:cobble',
recipe = {
{'default:stone'},
}
})

Just copy-paste an existing crafting rule and change it to your needs. This is something I could have pulled off (and would have had huge fun with) even before I really knew what programming is.
Would it help to become more snobbish about wine?

I really love fine wine, and cheap stuff doesn't really do it for me; it's either fruity and boring, or unbalanced and rough. But get me a rich Cote Rotie, or savoury Burgundy, and it's a different category. And neither are available in any decent quality for less than $50, or much closer to $150 a bottle for the stuff I really like. At this price level, it's a treat that happens no more than a dozen times a year, and usually less, only on special occasions.

I say this because you say you like the taste, rather than it being the sensation of being drunk.

You could also find something else of complexity to drink - gourmet coffee is an obvious candidate.

I'm mot in your situation, but you certainly are not alone.

At least in Finland high functioning 'risk alcohol consumers' are the largest group dying and suffering from alcohol related diseases. They get heart diseases, diabetes, dementia, cancers, strokes. Derelicts are just small and visible minority of alcoholics.
