>> So? Now, there is a law, and so what was legal before is not anymore.

That's my whole point, it was legal before and they weren't "making money illegally" (as the parent claimed), hence my the need for new laws.

>> Where you are acting from does not have any influence on legality. If Germany has a law that makes what someone does in the US illegal, then it's illegal.

It's not illegal in the US, from which they are operating. That's what matters. Close to 100% of porn sites are probably doing things illegally from a German legislative point of view. They're making money off of horny Germany nonetheless. So, the idea that our laws can "teach" them is ludicrous.

>> But it seems like Facebook is of the opinion that they have enough Business in Germany that it's worth for them to comply with the laws to be able to keep that business.

Yes, they chose that tradeoff over leaving the market, because at the end of the day they don't give a fuck. They did the same for China. They are probably working on AI-based deletion bots as we speak. What a great success, eh?

>> Well, but most advertisers that want to advertise to a German audience are from Germany. If you want to be paid by advertisers from Germany, you better follow German laws, or Germany will seize the funds your German advertisers are paying you to pay fines or other debts that you owe in Germany.

Oh really? When has that ever happened? If I turn off my adblock, most of what I get is international brands (YMMV), so even if all the German advertisers were gone, it would be a drop in a bucket. Maybe big enough of a drop for the company to care, maybe not, but the point remains that it is that the users stand to lose more here than any of the companies involved.
> Without it, your device would become Kindle-like, and all the apps that do not run on Kindle (or other, Google-less Android versions) would not run on yours too.

I take issue with this statement. Many apps which "depend" on play services work fine on my Google-free android. Some examples are tutanota, duo lingo, and some games. Though it's not an easy path, I wouldn't consider my cellphone experience "kindle-like".
Excellent. Thanks for the detailed answer - that really helps. To be honest, I want to use OCaml for writing some toy compilers to begin with, and I'm sure that that'll require only the core language, but I would like to use it for more serious projects after that!

I actually tried this idea when I read their initial comment. Unfortunately (And this is obvious when you realize it) you can't `unlink` or `rmdir` a non-empty directory. Also, though `rmdir` can work while you still have an open reference to the directory, once you do a `rmdir` you are not allowed to add any new files to the directory, making it essentially useless.

I think the best way would just to make sure you mount a `tmpfs` somewhere and make a directory on that (With something like your PID in the name). Then have some supervisor program periodically remove all directories with PIDs that are not longer running (Along with having the programs themselves clean it up if they have the opportunity). That's probably the best you can get, I don't think there's anyway to make the directory get automatically cleaned-up by the kernel.
(Assuming plausible alternatives, being those false positives. Which is true in this case, of course.)

It's a combination of factors that will contribute to the loss of top-soil. Below I quoted the main references that briefly touch on soil health.

"More heavy downpours may increase the likelihood of property damage, travel delays, and disruption in services. Sediment runoff and erosion may clog reservoirs and reduce storage capacity."

Erosion is harmful because the top six inches of the soil has the majority of microbial life that contribute to healthy soil. When their ecosystem is disturbed, it takes years for it to come back. No amount of fertilizer or additives will help in it's absense and only worsens the health of the soil.

"Midwestern agricultural lands make up two-thirds of the region's land area and produce 65% of the nation's corn and soybeans."

Corn and soybean production has historically used harmful chemicals and harmful farming practices. These techniques harm the microbial life in the top-soil in addition to other ecosystems.

Industrial farming practices are negatively impacting ecosystems such as insects, birds, and microbial soil life.

"In the long-term, climate impacts are likely to have increasingly detrimental effects that increase variability in crop and agricultural production"

When these crops start to die off, the soil is going to be exposed to severe weather conditions and will only make it worse for the microbial life to live. Healthy soil need's protection from UV, typically that's in the form of a mulch layer (leaves, twigs, bark, wood chips, plants, bushes, trees, etc...)

'Many tree species are expected to gradually shift their ranges northward."

The forest edge is Nature's sign of the best growing conditions. Tree's provide protection, energy, and food for top-soil. Without them, it will require significant energy and expense to simulate what they naturally provide.

There was a discussion on that in the New Yorker that sadly I failed to save (it was pre-evernote in my life). But as I recall you are essentially correct in your guess. The calculus was the value of leasing all of the space would return $x, the cost of the land was $y and the cost to build was a function of height. You simply solve for the most money returned.

In San Francisco the cost, with the earth quake requirements, seems to go up fairly quickly and it is hard to get anything approved by the city.
I live on O'ahu and was holding my phone when the emergency alert came in at 8:07am. I yelled "Oh my God!" and ran to show my wife the message. I've run through this scenario a few times in my head before and I knew every minute was critical -- so I went into action mode immediately. I told my two kids to get dressed now because we were leaving in exactly 1 minute. The reason we were leaving is our house is single-wall wood construction with no sealed windows and no HVAC, which is pretty much the least ideal shelter possible in a nuclear fallout scenario.

The four of us were in the car on the road at ~8:09 and inside the local LDS (Mormon) Church 0.9 miles away at 8:12am. The church building is the nearest concrete structure with sealed windows and interior rooms that I knew I could gain access to. Unfortunately it doesn't have a basement, but very few structures in Hawaii do.

Thankfully, the doors were already open as there was a family inside doing some cleaning. We were the first to arrive and at least a dozen other families showed in the next 10 minutes. We all hunkered in the gym, some crying, some praying, most just in shock. The first glimmer of hope came when I read the first report of the it being a false alarm on Twitter at around 8:23am.

The whole incident was absolutely terrifying and I'm very upset that it even happened. But, we learned some valuable lessons and I'm satisfied with how my family responded to the incident. Overall, my plan was good and was executed about as flawlessly as possible. I realize we need to add a "bug-out bag" of essential items (e.g. medications, cell phone charger, hand-crank radio) that we can grab as we head out.

It most definitely helped that I had considered this scenario before and knew exactly what steps I would take. The one good takeaway is that this event has sparked many similar conversations state-wide (and beyond) of what to do in these situations. Here's hoping these plans never have to be executed again...

Oddly the only time I've encountered particularly strong nostalgia for the Soviet era is precisely from people from ex-Warsaw-Pact countries who are old enough to remember living under it, though it's much more common in some countries than others. Especially older East Germans and Bulgarians seem quite nostalgic, sometimes to an extent that was pretty surprising to me, and embarrassing to their kids/grandkids who are my age. Much less common among Americans, or among people from those countries too young to remember the pre-1990 era. Many of the older people seem to feel (whether rightly or wrongly) that their standard of living used to be higher under state-socialism than it is now. Older Bulgarians also feel that post-1990 the government has been taken over by gangsters/mafia, and so some have developed nostalgia for the old inefficient bureaucratic government in comparison.

Chickens are nice, and usually more intelligent than what most people think, but the "attractive" people choice sounds a bit too much to be plausible. It could be that they like simmetry, but not necessarily a simmetric face is also "attractive".

Anecdotally however my father used to have one that not only recognized us (all people in the family) from a distance, she would also act as a guard dog if anyone else entered the court she lived in.

I’m not sure if your comment refers to the bombing or the war as a whole. The bombing didn’t hinder production and the people spirit was not broken (whatever that means). German production was rising consistently until the very end. Speer was instrumental in organising German industry to avoid pinch points that could be targeted and allied bombing was ludicrously inaccurate.
Occupation, damage to transport and lack of fuel were far more of a problem for industry. There is a very good argument it be made that that bombing was was a colossal waste of time, lives and effort.

Nice article! Here's another type of failure with its solution:

* You want to register a domain name on the blockchain and associate it with your address, so you submit "register foo".

* The miner sees it, and inserts an earlier transaction registering foo to them instead.

Solution:

* You register the hash of foo, which registers the plaintext encoded by that hash, then wait until the transaction is accepted publicly and submit a second transaction that reveals to everyone the plaintext of the hash that you registered.

The miner could still try to guess at which name you're registering based on the hash (by having a long list of potential names to hash just in time), but I can't think of a way to do better than that. Anyone else?

The interesting part of this is not actually the copyright infringement, but the aggressive use by the Del Rey camp as a marketing opportunity. Her song is a deep cut that was never a single and apparently Radiohead is trying to settle out of court, yet she's actively pushing the narrative of a "100% claim lawsuit" and how they're making her life a "living hell". Coupled with the deliberate manufactured image of Lana Del Rey and the resulting exposure I can't believe this in not an intentional ploy that's driving huge exposure to both her and this substandard, at best derivative, song.

Well, I am not sure if I would call it arcane. There are only two things which I find a little non user friendly:

1. By default curl doesn't follow redirects and I think most use-cases (not all) require that behavior (at least from the cli).

2. Similar to wget, many users who start using curl do it to download something, probably a file. But opposite to wget curl doesn't write a file but to stdout. Actually, I find curls behavior much more UNIX style, but it is probably the first obstacle every user has to tackle. Nevertheless, in the end this makes curl easier to use, because you do not have to remember which parameter is used to set the output file name, but instead just use the universal unix operator '>'.

Upvoting adds nothing but the capacity for groupthink. See what voting has done to the level of discourse on reddit. The larger the community, the worse the problem.

If we couldn't vote on comments asyncrhonously (or, IMHO at all), nothing of value would be lost.
I've long thought of an alternative, but I don't think we can do better than this actually, as people are, by nature, vapid, in the sense that they will always pretend to be someone they are not.

The last time i had a conversation with an american trained in "debate", it was quickly obvious that reality and truth were the last thing on his mind, but scoring rethoric points was the first.

The rest of your points are good, but i think if you start it out with the word debate, many americans are going to mentally short-circuit to that style of conflict, instead of "respectful conversation".

In Norway it's illegal to ask for a criminal record except when required by law (eg: you need a statement from police to work in child care - but the request need to state that. So a violent crime would show up (up to X years in the past, automatic expiry), while fraud would not be disclosed. Conversely a child abuse conviction would not show up on a financial controller application, but fraud might (although, I'm not sure any financial sector jobs are allowed/require a criminal record check).
And those who have actually been through "Soviet occupation and its aftermath" don't all consider it bad -- in fact there's a good percentage of the population in ex-socialist countries that thinks lots of things were better back then -- from Ostalgie phenomenon, to surveys that say so (and relic socialist parties getting some chunk of the vote).

"On June 2009, a survey conducted in Germany showed that 57% of eastern Germans defend the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Of those polled, 49% said “The GDR had more good sides than bad sides. There were some problems, but life was good there.” The poll was reported on Spiegel Online (which, however, tried to vilify GDR with anti-communist lies) and consists a proof that, according to historian Stefan Wolle, “a new form of Ostalgie has taken shape”."
