Sorry, the former is simply too graphic for a textbook intended for 11/12-year-olds, and I'm not sure why you chose the latter passage vs: "During his campaigns in the subcontinent [Ghazni] also attacked the temples of defeated kings and looted their wealth and idols. Sultan Mahmud was not a very important ruler at that time. But by destroying
temples – especially the one at Somnath – he tried to
win credit as a great hero of Islam. In the political
culture of the Middle Ages most rulers displayed their
political might and military success by attacking and
looting the places of worship of defeated rulers."
> Permanent funds, adequately funded, could leave a greater percentage of their money in equities, which has (historically had) higher overall returns despite larger short-term drawdowns.

Agree, but they don't. Every pension portfolio I've seen has a lot of fixed income in it.
It's unethical towards the shop owner. Coming into a store can be viewed as an intent to buy. And if not only you aren't buying, but you are browsing to buy in another store - it makes it worse.

Some stores are made to browse, and it's less of a problem to come in and not buy, but it's still a problem to explicitly come to browse to buy elsewhere.

yeah you are right. I would replace the harsher "Lazy" with Time + finance + effort variables.

I have been to zoos before quite a few times on school trips. There are maybe quite a few species of animals who would be survive okay, if that's the baseline, in a typical zoo. So a handful of animals everywhere have to sacrifice their lives for science so good. But what struck me in the safari was to see the animals and notice how "different" they behaved compared to animals in the zoo or even animals close to human cities (like Monkeys). The animals are not even interested in the human visitors, animals don't "shout unnecessarily" in the jungle (as humans would label their speech pattern as, screeching like a monkey) and if there is sounds in the jungle, it almost always indicates something or serves a particular purpose (mating calls for e.g). This education you would glean from a zoo? The only education I personally took from Zoo visits was, "Damn we are cruel". I totally understand some agencies use public animal sites for protecting and breeding endangered animals, there are sanctuary sites to serve as enhanced landing pads for birds but all of this is quite different than a typical Disneyland zoo setup. It is almost always for silly eertainment like watching Orcas dance in SeaWorld. Sure it teaches you about animals and increases cognitive awareness but one should take children to a nature hike, that doesn't cost much if you are so inclined for a nature experience.

I'm watching closely for the implications of this ruling. There are already Seattle neighborhoods who have folks living in their RVs, cooking meth, with no trash service, no working sewer system, selling drugs out of their RV, spewing needles around the ground, and the police already refused to do anything about it.

Sympathetic to the plight of the homeless, but there needs to be enforcement of laws and respect to the neighborhood that you are living in, whether or not you are homeless.

Rights are mainly seen in the US as negative rights. The Bill of Rights Constitutional amendments are all proscriptions on government behavior. A right to life means that I must not kill you. If however, you are choking to death, there is no obligation for me to help you.

I think negative rights are the way to go. Once you start having positive rights, then you place obligations on others which ultimately require force or the threat of force to make people do something. In addition, positive rights has a tendency to keep on growing - for example a right to Internet access. The downside of that is that rights then do not become something that is stable across time and space but just a synonym for something someone arbitrarily decided to call a right.
One of the few things that China's governmental system had going for them was term limits for their head of state. This is a very unfortunate development for the world.
Aren't you afraid that if tomorrow Shopify releases their own version of your plugin directly baked into their tool, you could lose a lot of customers over night?
The reason I say this, it's because as someone who has seen a lot of vendors changing and limiting APIs and access, or just releasing baked-in products - I have seen my fair share of companies having to pull a dangerous U-turn! Nevertheless, it looks like a cool product!

If trucks had to pay the full cost of road wear, then trains would be a lot more attractive for long hauls -- road wear is proportional to the 4th power of axle weight [1]

An 80,000 pound truck has 8X the axle weigh of a 2000 pound car, so should be paying 4096 times more road taxes than the car.

I own a Xiaomi Note 4. It's a fantastic device for the price and has given me no trouble at all. Xiaomi's Android skin (MiUI) is nicely designed, performs well and is regularly updated even on older devices. Xiaomi aren't well known in the west, but they're the fifth largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world.

Depending on your country, you may have to pay import charges if you buy direct from China or Hong Kong. Even with import charges, Xiaomi phones still usually work out to be a good deal. Warranty coverage is limited if you're outside of Xiaomi's core markets, but parts are cheap and readily available if you need to replace a cracked screen or a weak battery.

I wouldn't recommend other Chinese brands like Doogee, Leagoo or UMI. The hardware is usually good, but the software is often poor and you can forget about updates.

I really liked this article and it's eerie at how I had those same productivity issues and ended up doing things similar to Carmack to track productivity.

Carmack used the CD player tactic to track his productive time, but a few years ago I used a schedule. I charted out every minute of my life. Every single time I context switched, I wrote down what I just did previously and for how long.

After doing that for a bit you begin to realize just how fucked up you are when you see a daily recap of "checked HN 25 times, checked email 20 times, watched 2 hours of Youtube videos unrelated to your field" and you barely inched forward on whatever you're working towards.

I found real deadlines really helps me. I mean, I had my next video course idea in my head for almost 1 full year and I kept putting off doing work towards it because I was getting small wins doing other stuff which prevented me from even starting something new.

Then someone hired me for freelance work and it just so happens what he wanted done matched what I wanted to do in my course almost exactly. It took me literally 20 hours (3 solid "no messing around" work days) to write about 85% of the material I wanted to do in the course. There's a lot more than just writing source code to finish a course, but that was something I managed to put off for an entire year but nearly completed it in a few days.

I don't know why, but when someone pays me to do something I shift from being a sloth into a hyper focused productivity machine. I haven't found out how to harness that power without external motivators and I've been at this for about 20 years (I work for myself, so I don't have a boss paying me).

I used to think I was never so stupid to have some type of fear of success but deep down I'm constantly battling my inner self on the topic so I'm beginning to think that maybe I have serious issues around that.
OK... so why do you think that a maglev hyperloop will not be rendered infeasible by the exact same problems?

The OCI doesn't, but the build tool does care about how the image was built, because of reproducibility etc. But build tools will be able to leverage the kind of stuff you're doing, rather than doing it themselves (like Bazel does).

Stores allow people to enter and leave without purchasing anything or declaring intent to purchase. Consumers are doing nothing unethical by entering the store, investigating items they are interested in, and then comparing them to options online. Blaming consumers for comparing the options available to them is ridiculous.

Yes, this is inconvenient for the people who own those stores. No, the consumer isn't doing anything unethical.
> need the extra screens

Nowadays, you can plug several high-resolution displays in to a laptop (HDMI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt over USB3...), and the integrated graphics will handle it just fine. Just unplug one cable to go to a meeting, or work out of the office.

> need the [...] full keyboard

If you're not doing data entry, and you're not using applications that use the numpad for keyboard shortcuts, then ditching the numpad is fine. I personally prefer laptops without the numpad because then keyboard is centered on the screen. Using a laptop where I had to have my hands left of center might drive me crazy.

> need the [...] mouse

Personal preference (largely influenced by the work you're doing). For precision graphical work, there's little that can beat a good mouse or trackball. For pushing text around the screen and browsing the internet, a touchpad or trackpoint is just fine.
What particularly do you find Patreon lacking?
When you say "if corporations were people they would be subject to [things physical persons subject to in the US]", you insist that if A is legally equivalent to B in context C(0), it must be equivalent also in any context C(n), but there's no sound logic to support this claim. Legal norms are not meant to reflect some inherent nature of things, they are nothing more than conventional agreements which take (and they must take) into account many nuances, concomitant circumstances, and context. So A can be legally treated as B in one situation, and not as B in another and that's just absolutely fine. (Laws of all countries are full of such things, and generally it is good, otherwise many laws would be either unbearable, or unenforceable.) That's why an "if this then that" argument cannot stand here.

P.S. Sorry, if my previous comment wasn't clear. It was for me, so I assumed it is for others - it happens with me.

There is a really great article from New Yorker last year that I'd recommend: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/11/20/can-carbon-dio...

Carbon removal technologies are not going to bring us another ice-age. We need to remove hundreds of billions of tons of Carbon from the atmosphere in order to avoid catastrophic global warming. That is the major risk today and it's very apparent. Problem is that carbon removal technologies aren't good enough or cheap enough to do that.

The funny thing in this US-centric view is that we have such a cargo since a century where trains play the role of "self-driving cargo".

In europe, the decline of cargo on tracks (trains) is also partially owed to subsidiation of automobile traffic and highway expansions. It is a pity, because from the raw numbers trains are much less expensive then tracks.
So you feel it's unethical to go into a store and compare prices? Disregard the ethics of 2 different sales channels being able to compete on pricing because of different distribution set ups, but in what universe is it the consumers job to make sure "joe from around the block" has a job at this specific store?

Is it impolite to bust out a phone right in front of a sales rep and say "hold on, let me check amazon", sure. But there's no moral responsibility on the customer's part to do business with anyone because "hey man, it's more expensive for me to run this business".

This isn't some surprise to retail. This has been going on for over a decade. You can't compete with the internet on price for (many) things. But you can compete on immediate availability, customer experience, etc. If you're fighting a price fight with the internet, gtfo of retail.
Think burglary vs home invasion. It's not just about easier, it's about it being a different threshold for whether it's worth it. The presence of other people drastically complicates crimes, and makes it much more likely that you'll end up dead or in prison for decades.

> He had been living in his 2000 GMC pickup, parked on a side street, but the city of Seattle towed it because Long had violated a city rule that requires vehicles be moved every 72 hours.

Judging by the amount of leaves, gunk, and other crap that accumulates underneath the parked cars on my street (Which were also in the same place day, after day, after day), this is another one of those rules which is enforced incredibly selectively. If it weren't, half the cars on Capitol hill would be in impound.

Having grown up in an area where becoming a trucker is a common enough career path, I can tell you that the hours of work thing (which is really miles per work, but they correlate) lands some truckers in some sketchy situations

Many of my friends have told me they take those gas station "energy supplements" so they can stay up for 2-3 straight days to log more hours and make the trip.

Thats probably not healthy for their bodies, and certainly not safe for other people on the road, but if miles = money then its whats incentivized

If trucks could drive themselves with a passenger trucker to intervene in tricky situations, the passenger could have a much more healthy intake and sleep schedule
We used to be! They announced their sections feature at Shopify Unite a couple of years ago and we were really worried about the impact it would have. It hasn't had any impact at all.

I completely agree that these things are oversimplified and people don't discuss luck enough. However, if you're able to isolate your retirement savings from the rest of your life (which is a big if which doesn't apply to many people!), things aren't so bad on a long timeline. Here are two data points that I find quite compelling. The first is about a theoretical person who saves money in cash between market run-ups and only invests at market peaks (spoiler, they end up with much more than they invested). The second just points out that the S&P 500 has never had a nominal 30 year streak with less than ~8% annual growth (which is not to say it couldn't).

Yeah, JavaScript is a bit of an odd one out here, and I can obviously see the value in terms of providing a minimal build (in a way that's of less import to Ruby/Python users, say).

That said, it all depends what benefits you want to get out of Bazel. For us, incremental builds were the key thing we cared about - minimizing JAR size was important, but we already had a decently good handle on that.

The point has nothing to do with functional vs oop, or exceptions versus monads. It has to do with using the features of your language of choices type system to prevent bugs. The thing going on here is putting validation logic in your type constructors so it's impossible to construct an invalid type without triggering a runtime "exception" or error.
Market forces are neither righteous or wicked. They also don't care at all about short-term vs long-term consequences. We don't always have to succumb to these forces and just say "oh well market said so."

Gravity is also a constant and unrelenting force yet we still fly airplanes.

Are there things like airplanes that defy market forces in a controlled manner that can help small businesses?

Not to mention the distribution of talent is also a matter of simple luck.

People tend to ignore this when they are trying to justify how the talents they have make them “better” than others or that it means they deserve more... for that matter, “having more” is a false success metric anyway, but that’s another story.
