Nope. That's an intra-EU thing and is very unlikely to change.
It's more complicated than that, almost all spidering that I do lately for clients is not about scraping the content in a classical sense, but some form of "spying" of one's competition, mainly in e-commerce. Tracking inventories, fine-tuning prices, tracking how they promote certain products online, etc. Not to mention really blackhat stuff that many people do like attacking competition with fraudulent ad clicks and similar. Many times "the content providers" have every right to wish to protect themselves.
"First of all, you have to remember that on long-haul, the front cabins pay for the flight; if you scale the plane up without also scaling up the number of people buying premium-cabin tickets, you lose money."

Singapore airlines has a full upper deck business class configuration. More space just means you have more space for business and first class too.

"Second, there still just aren't enough places on earth that can fill a 500-seat (or even 600-seat as Emirates is experimenting with on their latest configuration)"

While I'd agree that there are not that many business cases for such a huge plane there definitely are. Especially in the case of mega connectors like Emirates.

Emirates offers two daily flights from Zurich, which is a European 2nd tier airport with just shy of 30M yearly passengers, while Singapore airlines compressed their two daily flights into one A380 flight a day.

"You may not like it, but the more reasonably-sized twinjets won. 250-350 seats is the sweet spot, and the future belongs to 777s, 787s, A350s and their descendants."

We'll see when Asian airports (especially in China) run out of runway capacity. There are only so many flights you can dispatch over a runway in any given time.

I've attended two styles of conferences: large conferences organized by the single company featured in all discussions (e.g. Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon - all hosted in a large city), and smaller polyglot conferences in the Midwest.

CodeMash in Sandusky, OH is a relatively small, relatively inexpensive conference. It mostly attracts people from Columbus, Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland metros, but further into the midwest (St Louis, Omaha, KC). During a talk, there is large variation in participation, but there's generally 4-5 things per time slot a person would like to attend and it is acceptable/encouraged to leave a talk if it turned out it isn't right for you.

There are (optional) social activities baked in. There are soft-skills and unrelated activities (lazer pong, sessions on things like creative writing, mindfulness). One of the last contributing factors is that there are ALWAYS places to sit in group fashion and meals are generally at a shared table (round tables of 8 or something).

The result is conversations with strangers who come from varying backgrounds. The result of the non-pretentiousness is conversations during a talk (it's much less intimidating to ask questions of the lead engineers from Kroger in a room of 150 than the lead engineers of Microsoft in a room of 1000 - Kroger has a very impressive technical presence, mind).

DevOpsDays actually has a period after the keynote where people come up and suggest topics for breakout groups, resulting in wildly contrasting sizes and specificities of discussions.

Seems clear that there are plenty of ways to have a fantastic conference as long as you're not attending to get the coolest big ticket swag gift via attendance.

You need a pretty hefty net connection to download a complete library in a reasonable time.

+1. Parts and maintenance might have just tripled in price and awaiting time. Emirates protected their investment at a low price...plane for plane, why not get this and insure that someone will be there for the previous order's planes.
DRM isn't even worst for me, I can always use a fresh virtual machine for a game and wipe it out afterwards, but constant Internet connection requirement totally kills it, as I don't have time for games often and these rare moments I play something is usually on a laptop when I'm on vacation out of town with no reliable Internet connection. GOG is great, I can buy, own and play a game whenever I want, wherever I want and expect it to be playable many years in future, even when official servers are long dead.
Taking an hour a day to listen to podcast over seven days is much more easier then taking day off work and is much more effective for learning then seven hours of listening one day.
Actually, I find it interesting how HN incentivizes good behavior with their karma system. Yes, HN discussions are most of the time not about social values, but nevertheless I found that it changed me a bit, so that I think more about how to write my comments.

So what I like about the system, is that (for experienced users) down voting is allowed and that a down voted comment is getting less attention (less karma damage, less reader damage) and that is getting faded out (so while reading comments you can quickly skip the bad comments).

That way, you don't have to be afraid of writing a bad comment accidentally, because the system takes care of it, but when you write one you can see that that less people are reading it compared to a good one. I just wish down voting would require writing an answer. Nothing is more frustrating than a down voted comment when you do not know why people didn't like it.

Over the past years, I found that other readers like comments which tell them something new and insightful about the topic. Links for further reading and as references for opinions are also appreciated.
Yes and no, while is it difficult to take time off for learning while at work, conferences as a learning tool have ridiculously low information density. Sometimes you get equal amount of information just from watching a couple videos during your lunch break.
I think this is the key really, conferences are like a dedicated period of time you can totally devote yourself into learning without being pulled into the trappings of the daily grind.
> get job offers

That right there might be the big negative to companies sending people to conferences.

OR you find out that you work at a bad place.

When I worked in Student Life Department my Universtiy never sent anyone to the National Student Life Conference. They sent two from my office and whent they came back all kind of chaos happened. They found out we were overworked and underpaid.

They said when at a workshop of around 200 people that when asked what your position requiers from you the speaker brought them up to the front when everyone in their small group was freaking out at our workload. The next year I moved to the Library and my co-workers lasted one more year. They highered a new Vice-President of Student life and she rehired for every position and cleared house. Than for one year they had new titles for every position and switched back to the old system the following year. My former University never does Student Life Conferences.

P.S. The University was sued for unpaid Overtime by someone in the Student Life Department and went to trial. The judge ruled against the University without going to his chambers.

> Back of the envelope calculations say that a self driving cab would be 1/3rd of the cost.

I can hardly imagine taking the human drivers out of the equation will be that profitable. Right now, those drivers also do the labor intensive part of maintaining the fleet (gas/power, cleaning, repairs etc.). That part will stay with uber, lyft, google etc.

Don't forget that getting a driver's license is very expensive in some parts of the world, like Europe. Here it easily requires 1000,00 € and more, as well as a significant time investment for mandatory training, lessons and tests.

While I don't recommend skipping the driver's license despite these circumstances, I can understand that it's a legitimate option for a teenager that doesn't plan to drive.

They can't innovate but once other people innovate they can copy and buy up their technology and commercialize it more successfully.

With self-driving cars the tech is only phase one. The legal/regulatory/social issues come next and that is where a company like GM with all of its political connections can really press their advantage.

Even a company like Google is small time compared to GM when it comes to lobbying and political power with all of the unions, dealers, suppliers, trade associations, etc they have built up over a 100 years.
I don't understand your criticism of option 1. As a Facebook user, I can remove anyone I want from my feed either by "unfriending" them or simply unsubscribing from their feed. Ads are not people so Facebook doesn't provide a facility for unsubscribing from them (and I assume they do some kind of curation on them since they generally seem of decent enough quality for internet ads). Of course, I use an ad blocker to ignore them anyway, but that's beside my lack of understanding of your criticism.

To your criticism of option two, I think this is the fundamental flaw in the goal of engineered social systems. There are groups which have radically different ideas about what is "kind". Extreme religious fanatics would say it's unkind to let someone "live in sin", so extreme measures are considered kind for the spiritual well-being of the individual and the community. Secular western thought is more interested in material well-being, so it would say kindness is the promotion of the material well-being of others, generally without passing judgment on how they choose to live (except insofar as it violates others' material well-being).

So the decision of who decides what's kind can lead to completely different interpretations of what kindness is and how the social system behaves.

You say that like it's an easy thing to do.

For a relatively novel data model with potentially unusual performance characteristics, the chance of finding a properly done, fair, and generally understandable benchmark is virtually impossible.
Here's a better idea: build the system such that dependency conflicts aren't possible. This is trivial by having a stable base system and otherwise including any application's dependencies in the same directory as the application, which of course means not spreading the application all over the file tree (and thus avoiding another non-existent problem that package managers solve).

I know, that's really hard for Linux Desktop people to understand, because it goes against their nature of making everything as complicated as possible for no reason. It's not rocket science, lots of systems managed it in the past.
Without having more details, I generally wouldn't say one would feel Schadenfreude in your example.

Now, if your acquaintance is obnoxious or is putting everyone down for not being able to afford their dream vacations, then yes, Schadenfreude would apply.

In more general terms, you don't feel Schadenfreude whenever something bad happens to someone. There has to be a sense of "Well, that guy had it coming".

Reader view often excludes figures that are important for understanding a text, so this unfortunately is not an option for me.

I have set my font size to 32pt and do not allow web sites to use smaller fonts or typefaces other than my preferred one. Also, I have set text color to green on black, which is easiest to read for me. You would not believe how many web sites do change background color, but do not set text color, leaving me with bright-green on white text. :/

Then, a large font causes components to overlap, rendering text and buttons inaccessible. Disabling style sheets does not always help, either (and turns every modern web site into a complete mess). Semantic web? LOL.

Javascript, as others mentioned, is a huge problem, because it somehow seems to be able to bypass my font and color settings. I have it turned off all the time now and just do not visit sites that require it. Well, more time for more interesting things! A silver lining in every cloud! :)
Ok. I have nearly no experience with UK railways, so I can't say how bad they are.

Where did you get your info about train production? I would be interested how the figures vary from country to country.
That's why of the reasons why I've implemented "quiet time" for my kids.. Every day after they do homework, they can play for as long as they want with legos or other toys.. But at 6pm they have one hour of quiet time where they have to be in their room, by themselves with all electronic devices off. Only after that they can play on a computer for one hour. Of course I would rather have them play on a computer first and have quiet hour right before the bed, but for various reasons that's harder to implement.. For now this will have to do.
Perhaps governments might be considering the implications for more people than just the airlines and the airport owners? Like, for example, all the people who would lose their homes in the airport expansions or have their lives ruined by the increased airplane noise and pollution? But oh no, it's just them stupid lazy governments, of course.
One wonders why you have to rebuild your "better than reinstalling Windows all the time" system so often as to have invested the time creating a metapackage of your configuration.

To be contrary, I find HN/Reddit point systems to be related to the degradation of discussion. It's a popularity contest. Good comments do not always get upvoted (in fact, they may be downvoted because people don't want to hear it). But salacious and ill-informed stuff gets upvoted a lot.

You very quickly get hive minded behavior: similar beliefs get upvoted, contrary ones get hidden, so soon enough you've got an echo chamber, powered by worthless Internet points.

It's a very basic hack on our psychology - we like points, but maybe it's not alltogether good. It works ok on HN because it's a decent community with moderation intended to keep the discussion good. But Twitter and most subreddits are horrible abuses of this and I'm not sure people would spend so much time arguing on the Internet if they simply weren't rewarded so directly for doing so.

This stat always rubs me the wrong way. It paints the image of a parent watching their child drown, but I imagine it's pretty easy to be within 25 yards of the pool and have no visibility to the pool.

Completely agree with all of the above.
No I said he implied that about other people. When he said they weren't reading what he was saying and were instead talking about some other story. If a person wrote a response exactly about his scenario, then saying what he did in response would imply that he thought that person was delusional. Which is what happened. I quoted it.

That was the point I gave up on him being an honest participant.

A variant of the mafia game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game))

Quoting the article:
"
Mafia, also known as Werewolf, is a party game modelling a conflict between an informed minority, the mafia, and an uninformed majority, the innocents. At the start of the game, each player is secretly assigned a role affiliated with one of these teams. The game has two alternating phases: night, during which the mafia may covertly "murder" an innocent, and day, in which surviving players debate the identities of the mafia and vote to eliminate a suspect. Play continues until all of the mafia have been eliminated or until the mafia outnumbers the innocents.
"

As a game to play with friends that you know well, it's great. But I'd be wary to play with strangers. And another problem is that once you get "killed", you can't say anything, you have to stay silent until the end of the round.
GM has been innovating just fine in the EV segment, with the Volt, Spark EV, and now the Bolt. All three were extremely well engineered and relatively affordable -- if not as 'hip' as a Tesla. And designed mostly in house (the Bolt owes a lot to LG)

I'm fairly impressed. I'm sure like most BigCorps it's not a fun or terrible nimble place to work, but it seems like they've got at least some aspects of their engineering culture figured out.
WebAssembly, the journey – JIT Compilers
Yeah, right - you somehow need that 'haha, look at you'/'that serves you right' moment to call it 'Schadenfreude'.
That was a detailed comment that didn't say "government is bad." It laid out a pretty reasonable interpretation of why that decision might have taken place, including quite clearly pointing out that some governments care less about the effects of airports on local populations, which could explain why some markets still have hub airports.

It definitely tallies with the impression I have – looking at London Heathrow, for example, where the controversy about expanding the airport has been rumbling on for an age, and governments are consistently jittery about taking an obvious view on it. I'd say there are pretty good reasons for avoiding expansion, but obviously this other comment disagrees.

There's nothing here that screams "libertarian," just a possibly inaccurate, but hardly unreasonable, point of view.
