AFAIK the fact whether IP addresses and user agents are considered personal information is still up to debate.

Absolutely. Well put.
It's been quite a few years that articles such as this one have been coming out, how could the americans possibly still be surprised by European food regulations?

Glen Buchenbach does not sound German and is pretty obviously named like that to try and associate its brand with Scottish brands, just as the Commission said.

>The European Court of Justice said on Thursday that a German distiller’s use of the term “glen” could mislead or confuse customers about the origins of its beverage, potentially suggesting it was a product of Scotland.

I'm not ruling Lasik out personally, but I'm just giving it another decade or two to see the long term effects. My eyes are the highest bandwidth input by far, it's not a decision to take lightly

In the mean time, I have these contacts that you can leave in for a month or more, the brand is 'purevision' but there are others. They're completely liberating, almost as good as Lasik it sounds like, but with none of the downsides like loss of night vision or halo's. You wake up and don't even think about the fact that you sometimes have glasses

The only issue is remembering not to rub your eyes too much (just wash your face instead) and change them over every month or so
I think characterizing the Challenger launch decision as murder is unfair. At worst it was manslaughter.
Speech Recognition with Tensorflow
I have a similar trick. When I need to write something (code, email, etc.) that I don't know how to start, I tell myself that right now I'm only writing a draft. It might turn out to be a final revision later, but right now it's just a draft. This reduces the stress and allows me to experiment. The problem is that it doesn't work for things that I can only do once, like talking to someone about a difficult topic.

While it would be nice this companys focus seems to be towards Erlang specifically so they may have their reasons not to have gone that route. Would be nice to hear what those reasons are for sure.
Daniel Micay got paid for his services, and therefore the copyright is assigned to the company behind CopperheadOS

If he was an employee, but if he was paid as a 1099 and no assignment of IP agreement was signed, it is his.

Additionally, if it was a "derivative work" of code he had written prior to W-2 employment, that would also muddy the waters of IP ownership.

Different entities have different costs.

Depending on the installation, maintenance, and component costs of different parts of a system, it may end up making a lot of sense to massively downsize the grid and make most single family homes into islands.

Electrical grids are hugely expensive, and even if the raw cost of utility scale solar installs is lower than residential, the delivery is killer.

strncat seems to have conceded that despite the 50/50 ownership, "guy" has the ultimate power since he's a "director" and strncat is not. Does that even make sense? I'm no expert in American contract law, but usually the director(s) serve at the pleasure of the majority of stakeholders and if the stakeholders reach an impasse it's up to the bylaws or a court to figure it out. The way I see it, strncat is still 50% owner of Copperhead and could succesfully challenge all of guy's actions.
Honestly I have never heard of any of those and so long as they aren't too close in what their intended use is I don't see the issue. Worse case it can just be called GluonVM then you have no ambiguity as to what you're talking about. Naming can be a pain. The worst I've seen so far was the WAMP protocol we saw posted sometime back.
yikes, what happened here?
I like the idea of closing the gap where GitHub might fail, and I love ActivityPub-based services and the federated web, but I think this isn't the best solution. Git is already decentralized to the extent necessary to be useful for projects. An open source project will generally have one and only one canonical upstream location. If that location needs to move, git is accomodating.

The better strategy is to work on encoding ticket tracking and such into git objects, in my opinion.

> the symbol (⌘) has apparently been used at Swedish campgrounds and parks for decades

That's not how I know the sign. The Swedish Transport Agency has a page for this road sign[1].

It says, roughly translated: “The symbol indicates an historic site [or attraction] of national interest. The nature of the historic site is indicated in connection with the symbol.”

So, it's probably more commonly used to mark viking age burial grounds than campgrounds.

I was living in New Zealand at the time.

It's not as bad as the USA in terms of being a food desert, but it's not amazing either. Fresh meat and vegetables aren't cheap. Being an isolated, mostly self-sufficient country means that vegetable prices are at the whim of the season and the harvest. If there's a bad growing season, vegetables can be up to twice the normal price.
Eh, it's just a (relatively small, per employee) flat tax on each employee. That's like saying that having to buy a chair is a disincentive to hiring.

In saying that, I tend to dislike 'special' taxes like these.

Does anyone else have an absolute dread of FIXING / REPAIRING something? And a solution for this dread?

Sometimes I'm at a point where I would put my hand in a running blender together with a live kitten or something painful and horrible like that, just to get NOT to have to FIX something that needs fixing and instead to START something new or to completely replace or refactor something or to buy something new and set it up in the place of the thing needing fixing... anything, just not repairing, not debugging, not fixing or not optimizing one more little half/broken thing.

The only thing I similarly dread is "going the last mile" from 80% to 100% and finishing any project/task, but for this at least I have a big bag of tricks that works most of the time.

But fixing / repairing instead of replacing something or starting with something completely new... This is HELL for me. Even visually, a blank piece of paper or a blank screen pumps me up with energy. But when I see something already half-working / half-written but know that there are some serious bugs/defects that I need to hunt down and repair somewhere in that. It sometimes fills me with so much dread that my subconscious makes me "forget" that that task exists, or forget what its components are so I end up miss-estimating by factors of up to 100x (with obviously horrific consequences for everyone's budget and sanity).
No reason not to, I just think most people don't do it out of habit. Academics are beginning to use arxiv more seriously and that provides versioned timestamp functionality.

Lol. I don't know if they necessarily care about influence on this topic more than they do money in their pockets.
It isn't super detailed as far as I remember. It is more about the really obvious stuff like eating less processed and whole foods. So e.g. they will make whole grain bread, cut raw vegtables, maybe make vegtable soup, avoid stuff with lots of added sugar.

As far as I know the debate about health eating has centered around how much carbo hydrates we should eat and the role of fat. But I think eating less processed food, more whole grain and less sugar has always been accepted wisdom about healthy eating.

We Norwegians probably eat a bit much bread and potatoes and should probably eat more vegtables and alternatives such as beans, lentils etc. However I think we've been fairly good at avoiding too much sweets in the diet.

Texas has pretty restrictive laws about parking minimums. It would be illegal to build a pleasant neighborhood (for my definition of pleasant) in Texas.

Also, negative externalities of Texas' built environment (lung disease, cancer, potentially more autism near motorways(still early stages of research) dead people on roads, inability to travel or perform basic tasks for those who can't or prefer not to drive, being impoverished by your automobile, and the potential collapse of global civilization due to climate change) are not priced in, so often the neighbors or the rest of the world are paying for those houses.

While I understand what you're getting at here, I see little evidence to suggest utility controlled generation will ever be cheaper.

People are installing roof-top solar now because they're able to seeing savings in the form of reduced electricity bills now.

Practical point being, if you tell people: "don't install roof-top solar now, keep paying outrageous electricity prices (I'm in Australia, see) and hope that one day the electricity retailers pass on the savings when they can buy wholesale solar / wind for next to nothing" you can expect to be laughed at.
There's eelo, a recently crowdfunded new project. They build on top of LineageOS.

Not against the spirit of GPL or free software at all. Governing the use of language and branding to promote software freedom is core to the movement.

The steward of git defining what does and does not have the git nature is completely in line with this. You want your own take on git? Go ahead, you explicitly have the four freedoms to do so, but don't muddy the waters by calling it git if you don't represent the project.
I hear you. When we took our baby to the US on vacation I found it really hard to find appropriate food. American baby food had added salt and sugar which is illegal to add to baby food in Norway. We have the opposite "problem". There is no way to find baby food jars with salt or added sugar. That can't be sold in the store.

I don't get why America is so against regulation like this to promote the welfare of the most previous thing in people's lives. Do corporate interests really have that much power?

The McDouble/hamburger diet is a legitimate diet. You can dial in exactly how many calories you're eating.

Agreed. Approaching psychology with a permanent kind of rigour simply doesn't work. In order to change the mind that is not functioning in the way one desires, one has to believe that mind can change. Presenting information as though it's impermeable, absolute, matter of fact truth since the event(?) that allowed humans to first begin to think is absolutely absurd. If humans can go through all the different variations of thought they have gone through thus far, why do we work with the assumption that there's any absolute truth to the nature of thought to begin with?

Therapeutic models have to be adaptive to the individual one is guiding towards mental wellness (or whatever the goal is). Someone undergoing the process of regaining trust in their own mind has to pass some of their own personally designed tests. Otherwise they are just consuming information that already exists, and that's back to the original problem - one can only trust in information that comes from others, and not from the individual self (unless it matches perfectly with others). That's paradoxical, and if all oneself can do is reproduce what already exists, one can not prove to oneself that one is different or has changed or has improved, from 'before therapy'. So psychology is going to keep changing. It has to.

That's what students of psychology are interested in, right? Why force the model they learned that at one point, made absolute sense, to the student, at a prior time, onto others? What is the purpose of that?

I think that stuff is obvious when it's out in the open, but every student, researcher, and doctor of psychology has their own fears and 'issues' to deal with. What if I get it wrong? What if I screw it up really badly for someone else? Didn't I go into this to help people? And I think those kinds of fears, if they are not dealt with in a responsible, respectful manner - can really control the dynamic far more than all the knowledge one has access to, and all the thought and reason one can muster.
180 million doesn't seem that much for a city like Seattle.

Google translates the Norwegian Wikipedia entry as saying "The last digit in the individual number indicates the gender of the person - different digits for men and equal numbers for women."

Does this change for transgender people, or for those who undergo sex reassignment surgery?

I wasn't able to find information about this for Norwegian. The equivalent entry for Sweden, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_identity_number_(Swed... , says :

> In exceptional cases, the number may be changed later in life, typically because the date of birth or the registration of gender of the child were in error. If a person undergoes full gender reassignment surgery later in life, the serial number is changed to make the 'gender digit' (no. 9) conform with their new physical sex.

Would you say that you are a product, when you watch a trailer for a movie? According to your definition, the end goal of a trailer also is to "sell" the user to the film studio in hopes that the user will buy the ticket.

People use the "you're the product" quote strictly in reference to targeted ads, not in reference to any activity which has the end goal of convincing the user to make a purchase. That means it is not about the end goal at all - it is about our data which is sold without our permission. The data is the product they sell.
