What are you? A Commie?

A capitalist parent realizes they control access to the power and will hire someone to collect scooters. They will probably hire their kids first, because they will have very strong negotiating power with their kids. And since the electrical power they control is necessary but extremely cheap the entirety of the profit margin will be determined by labor costs. In terms of negotiating salary they also control food, shelter and love which are resources valued by kids so long term profitability seems likely. Assuming a plan to recruit/give birth to new employees.

A fee?!? A capitalist parent has a singular ethical duty to their shareholders.
"man ultimately formed from that dust"

I think this is just poetics, but I don't see how panspermia would make us any more cosmic beings than we already are.

All elements heavier than helium were created in the hearts of stars through nuclear fusion. We are all children of supernova remnants.

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

Is composed of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and phosporus. 4 out of 5 elements there are guaranteed, certified remains of one ancient star or another.

Or. Like Carl Sagan said, "We are made of star stuff".
"Reforming Hartz4 and the pension system"

You realize that H4 was done by the previous left-green coalition? Right?

"isn't a government with Horst Seehofer responsible for the interior and "Heimat"

Right wing Seehofer has no power in federal politics. Was has he done in the last years except a loud voice, threatening law suits against Merkel and some philandering? (he has anextra marital child). He is just scared now of elections in his state and he is rightfully scared.

Jens Spahn has done nothing yet and it remains to be seen if he does something. Maybe the left wing dream of a single payer system? (which I don't mind but it is still an SPD proposal)

I repeat it: Merkel is a left wing come true. All her achievements are left wing dreams. This the reason why her party is at historic lows and there is a new party hovering at 16%

Schuld could have one the elections. If Merkel occupied all left wing positions, his option would have been to occupy CDU positions.

> Partially you seem to apply US standards for whats left- and right-wing policies to a country with a fairly different political landscape

Well, as 16% of Germans that vote AfD now seems to do. Germany is brainwashed. Facebook Gestapo, Meinungsverbrechen, Spiegel Propaganda, daily TV bullshit, financed by extorted money from the people. Brings you this kind of bullshit:
https://www.focus.de/politik/deutschland/tv-sender-weist-kri...

"the examples you first cited as being clearly left-wing dreams, many of which are fairly mainstream positions in Germany."
Yes, because the center is moving, thanks to Merkel, more and more to the left.

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with the panspermia argument is that space is a very unfriendly place for anything living to reside. Okay, it might be that conditions on Earth were harsh at times, but that by far doesn't seem to match those found in space. At geological time scales, space just doesn't appear very safe for life.
Taking as an axiom that God exists and loves us, we can deduce that God wants us to be free because you do not want someone you really love to be your slave. If there was a way to prove the existence of God, we would not be free to believe or not. As a result, if "God exists and loves us", there is no way we can prove he exists.

Isnt'it a devil in the box problem ? If life is not from earth, then where is it from, and why there and not here ?

In my view the only elegant solution is to consider that life can originate a bit everywhere and cross-polinate everytime conditions are there.

>I see many who are paid well yet are unhappy and complain they are poor all the times.

I work in tech in silicon valley and... I often have difficulty not giggling when my co-workers talk about how poor they are. I mean, I'm the sysadmin and a agency contractor, meaning I'm usually the lowest paid/lowest status person in a room full of direct-hire engineers, and I usually feel very well remunerated, even though I'm probably making two thirds what a direct-hire SWE with my seniority would make at the same company. Especially when it comes to buying services and gadgets and, well, just about everything but rent. I mean, some of it is kids; I know kids are expensive, and I don't have any.

But I think a lot of it is just that people like complaining. And... I mean, in a lot of ways that is normal, and at appropriate levels, maybe even healthy.
These electric scooters travel at speeds that exceed that of an average cyclist. They are not pedestrian friendly and they have no place on sidewalks. Usually you see them only on roads, bike paths or shared spaces where cars and pedestrians are both allowed, though. At least in vienna.
It wasn't a death threat and was posted by a septuagenarian lady. I agree it was a bit tasteless so I removed it 24 hours ago. A ridiculous point that, even were it true, in no way answers the point of systematic extreme bias in Cross's edits.
You want examples? How about his removing the fact that right wing ex-Telegraph and ex-Murdoch BBC journalist Emma Barnett' parents were brothel keepers, as widely reported in MSM (and relevant as it paid for her private school and university) while adding in to my entry a Mail claim that my own wife was a stripper.
...uber is successful in Europe. There are cities that banned it, but there are as many that didn't.

Conversely, Uber is not very successful in South-East Asia, but not for the abundance of regulation but for the lack of it - Grab, a local copy-paste of Uber, has become so dominant that Uber had to leave most of the markets there

Yeah, the basics are important. And it doesn't matter if you're a CEO of a top 500 or self-employed.

In the end, accounting means: how much are you earning, how much are you spending and how much taxes do you need to pay

> Privacy: ability to opt out of all data collection.

GDPR - I would expect that, for windows (which I believe comes pre-loaded with spyware), you would have to explicitly opt in

Which just proves that it isn't essential to be opted in

Probably depends on where you go to school. My high school was in the middle of a pre-trump era industrial region of WI. High school was teaching us the basics to go work in a factory.

However I did learn to read, and a book on the bare basics of accounting is like 200 pages.
> Why not doctors and lawyers? A-list actors?

they already do - presumably they aren't dodging taxes, and is in a progressive tax system. This is about housing, and property owners might not reach an income level where the progressive system taxed them enough to produce a surplus to cater for the poor, and if so, making property specific taxes is one such way to force the burden on to them.
In order to decide whether you believe in something, you have to know what "something" the question is about. The concept of "God" in western society is often so vague it is impossible to have an opinion either way - for some it means "the absolute", for some it means "the force of creation in the universe". I don't think you can meaningfully say you don't believe in such unspecific concepts. But if you go into more concrete religious beliefs, like "God created the world in seven days" or "God punished the wife of Lot by turning her into a pillar of salt" or "Jesus is the only path to God", then it is easier to decide whether or not you actually believe it or not.

My impression is Biblical literalism is more widespread in the US compared to Europe, which in turn is easier to decide for or against. Especially the discussion about evolution vs religion is almost entirely absent in Europe. Framing evolution as opposed to a belief in God means it is pretty easy to become an atheist, since we have overwhelming evidence for evolution.
I see a lot of benefits. They are more comfortable than bicycles and may therefore appeal to users who wouldn't give up their car for a bicycle. They require far less space than cars and have the potential to reduce rush hour traffic jams.

I'll stick with my bicycle but I'm happy for anyone who uses an electric scooter, rather than a car.
Microsoft are nowhere near as relavant now as in the 90s. In the 90s you had no real choice - even at the end of the decade there were a lot of things that linux couldn't do.

In today's world where the OS is the web, that doesn't really apply.

It is solidly actionable advice. Cleaning your room does several things:

- Removes visual noise from your field of view

- Reinforces the notion that you have control over some things within your environment.

- Reinforces the notion that you have a right to take care of your own sphere of life and it is worthwhile to do so.

- Gets you up and moving, which can reduce anxiety.

So to answer your question: it gets posted because the people posting and the people upvoting believe that it is advice. This probably is a frustrating answer. If you could provide more detail about why you think it is non-advice, we might be able to give a better answer.

That isn’t the norm here in the UK at least.
The same could be said for any of the movable control surfaces, e.g. the flaps, ailerons, landing gear, rudder etc.

The answer being that these things are tested to destruction and procedures and failsafes put in place when necessary.

Edit: For the wingtips specifically I'd imagine not a lot of difference at all control-wise, just a loss of efficiency.
Arstechnica seems to have taken a 180° turn on Telsa lately. I suspect their expanded their PR budged even more. Ariane has nothing to fear from Telsa. Even their launch costs are still higher than conventional launch systems, if you care enough to dive into technical documents, the "driving down launch costs" argument quickly unravels to unsubstantiated PR garbage.
Tesla and Spacex sell nothing more than false hopes. They "will" drive down launch costs, they "will" make Tesla profitable and sustainable, they "will" make sure their car breaks consistently through OTA updates... I don't believe them anymore, it looks like a ponzi scheme.
Thanks for the tip. Maybe if I complain with just the right tone I can get them to stop injecting "you have used 75% of your monthly bandwidth" popups into my HTTP responses >:(

It annoys me they have made backward incompatible changes to this in Postgres 10, such that recursive CTEs that worked perfectly fine in 9.6 suddenly get rejected in 10. See in particular the function in this StackOverflow answer – https://stackoverflow.com/a/46761197/2147204 – it works fine on 9.6, 10 rejects it with an error.

Book recommendation: Decisive by Chip & Dan Heath

Its a book about how to make better decisions more confidently, both as an individual and as a group. It has a clear framework that presents actionble tips and exercises you can apply in situations. The writing style is a good mix of explanation and anecdotes and is fairly readable.

More general book recommendation: Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.
It presents a mental model of how to understand your existing reasoning and perception processes.

Also, if you're having trouble making a choice, consider messaging a friend and asking them "hey, I'm trying to make a heavy life decision. Can I take you out to dinner and just talk out my thoughts with you?" Try to be clear about how much you want them to just listen, how much you want them to help you clarify your own thoughts, and how much you want them to give you recommendations.
>Are you not open to questioning your ideology if someone presents some very compelling arguments despite how much you can’t stand Trump?

I am open to it - as long as there are compelling arguments made, it shouldn't matter either way. I'll admit I would have a bias against it, since I don't find much praiseworthy about Trump personally or politically, but I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. But if I did, I would be guilty of the same thing.

If you flip my argument around and apply it to me, then you seem to be admitting that it does hold up, in general terms.
I don't think that Uber was a good example of a good company hindered by regulations...

The pain-in-the-ass regulations also save a lot of people's time and money (Theranos-style startups are much less likely to pop-up over this side of the Atlantic also).

It's a trade-off, like most things in life.

Thanks, this is helpful. We'll look at improving the opening paragraph for the wider audience.
Considering the Soyuz-U has over 700 launches and the R7 family has over 1000 (of which all Suyuz launch vehicles are part), only taking the manned versions is a somewhat distorted comparison (though not unfavorable in some aspects).

The Soyuz-success/failure manned rate is about the same as the space shuttle, though a bit higher but with successful escapes and launch aborts. If you start comparing casualties the space shuttle loses massively as only 4 cosmonauts have died, all in the decent stage (either crashed or died on entry) with the R7 and derivatives as launch vehicles and Suyuz or Voskhod as name.

To be fair, the total of the R7 family (which is skewed since there are way more failures in the early days than after the 1990's for all kinds of rockets) is 137 vs 1755 or about 7 % vs the 1.5% of the space shuttle.

Save the Emoji – Augmented Reality Adventure
From their humble beginnings as punctuation marks hastily repurposed to look like smiley faces, emojis have evolved to become a fundamental part of our daily communication. And when we say fundamental, the emphasis is on fun. Emojis may just be a way of getting your point across, but they’re also characters in their own right, brought to life in Save the Emoji, a cutting edge location-based AR game. The great thing about Save The Emoji is that the emojis are fully 3D, so that as you change your vantage point your view of the emoji changes too, as if it’s really in the room with you.

But Save The Emoji isn’t just about pointing your camera at surfaces around your house. The app has its own geolocation gameplay, so you can -- and should -- put on your shoes and explore the world in search of emojis to save.
How We Screwed Up Nuclear Power
I wonder if anyone would bother in a language that makes this easy, such as Lisp or D.
yeap, the ones who didn't ban are the ones who didn't apply all these useless strict regulations.

In Germany, it is still not possible to take an Uber ride, for example. Besides, if it started in Europe as a small start-up it would be killed right away with tons of regulations anyways. So the only reason that you have Uber in Europe is that it has become a giant company in the US, due fertile environment, and thus could afford all these legal battles to enter the market.

South-East Asia is a different story. It has nothing to do with regulations at all. It is just a completely different mindset there. The fact is though, businesses in those countries can easily flourish as well.

And narrowing jaws make us ever more likely to miss some wisdom teeth. They part always struggle to emerge from the gums from narrow jaws due to our large brains, and are also less necessary today with softer foods. Softer foods also weaken our jaw muscles a bit, so they are more likely to remain under the gums and cause infections.

All in all, they are probably more or less going away in the long run.

>not that MUDs are particularly popular these days

There's no good reason for that though. Shameless plug: http://icesus.org (we need players :-/)
The thing is findall/3 is not really in the standard pure part of Prolog. It has the form: findall(Template,Enumerator,Instances), and can be read as: `Instances is the sequence of instances of Template which correspond to proofs of Enumerator in the order which they are found by the Prolog system" (Craft of prolog)
This reading is meta logical because it depends on the instantiation of variables in Template and Enumerator and on the proof strategy of the Prolog system.
So for example if you used a meta interpreter to change the search strategy of Prolog from topdown to bottom up, then the result of a call to findall would change.
setof/3 does not have this problem because it finds the ordered set and can fail (in contrast to findall which will return an empty list)
You need to bear in mind we as programmers are concerned with answers to a query but Prolog returns proofs...
I now try and avoid findall/3 in my programs and only use it when I am doing input and output from my core program.

OK, so it looks like there actually was a Fourth Provincial Council held in Milan in 1576. Eleven bishops were present: https://archive.org/details/amanualofcouncil01landuoft - although I'm not sure how binding the decisions of this Council are (if you live in Rome, are you excommunicated, too?). The references lead to Richard Trexler's article "Infanticide in Florence" in Dependence in Context in Renaissance Florence which is out of print.

A couple weeks ago, a popular post here on HN was how U.S. culture was actually lagging Japanese culture by about 10 - 20 years, while much of the rest of the world lags U.S. culture by a few years, and how things that were trendy in Japan quite a while ago are just now getting popular in the U.S. and then they will spread to Australia and other places in a few years.

So it's interesting to see your opinion that is contrary to that article.
There are a few ways of doing this.

1. You can include JSON data as input when you execute a policy query. In your example, you could include the management hierarchy or a user in a JWT that's provided as input to the policy query.

2. You can load JSON data into OPA out-of-band. OPA will cache this data in-memory and you can refer to it in your policies. There are two ways to do this. (a) use OPA's REST API to push data into the engine (e.g., PUT /v1/data/management/hierarchy <JSON body>) or (b) use OPA's Bundle feature to pull down bundles of policy and data from a remote endpoint.

3. If providing the data as input or out-of-band will not work, we have an experimental HTTP built-in function that you can call inside your policies to query the external data source on-the-fly when the policy is evaluated. This feature is still experimental but over time we intend to improve support for it (e.g., currently you can't mock out these built-in calls, but it's on the ROADMAP.)

Regarding limits, OPA keeps policies and data in-memory, so you're limited by RAM on a single host.

I'm not saying ignorance is an excuse for breaking the law. If you find yourself repeating a claim, you're probably not understanding the other person. I'm saying the law in Germany is unjust. I have sympathy for the person who was locked up for 3 months for making a friendly joke. I would also have sympathy for the mother of a tree cutter who was killed because he didn't prepare two escape routes like he should have according to best practice. I wouldn't tell her "your son was stupid, it's no wonder he's dead when he's so disrespectful of the rules." That's something you might try to scare somebody with before he does something dangerous, but not mock them for after they suffer the consequences.
