Well that didn't take long.
In South Korea, this is taken to an extreme. Every freeway speed camera is indicated on the default Maps app. It beeps (shorter and louder as the camera gets closer) and then stops.

So everyone just slows down as their maps beep and speed up again once they pass the camera. But, I think this is accepted practice and my suspicion is that a lot of these cameras aren't even real.

Just by having them placed along the freeway every x metres, they force cars to constantly slow down.
I wonder when will I be able to print a brain expansion.
What are you referring to?

Before the digital single market companies paid the rate at the country the were in. Since these companies where headquartered in Luxembourg they have been paying far lower rates over the years. Some of those rates have been to special deals directly with the government. This isn't something that has been available to most companies.

Similarly the "double Irish with a Dutch sandwich" only worked because of US tax law, simplified, lets US companies defer taxation on foreign funds through a loophole. That also isn't anything available to most companies and especially not small ones.

There are pros and cons to any complicated issue.

The biggest worry over a trade deficit that I'd have are National Security implications due to the dependance on trade with that county. To explain why that would matter, consider the following:

- Because of the much lower wages and regulatory costs, manufacturing here in the U.S. seems to have been strangled in the last few decades and mostly moved over to China.

- This has caused a shift in the way the U.S. economy works, with cheap parts / goods from China being considered a given and a transition to businesses that depend on those cheap imports.

- Once our economy wholly depends on that overseas manufacturing in China, that gives China large leverage over us because we don't have the factories here in the U.S. anymore to pick up the slack if China stopped trading with us and instead found another buyer for their goods.

- MUCH more importantly though, is the affect this dependance on a foreign nation would have on us if China decided to do things that we find reprehensible in the world. Think about what Russia did with Crimea. Now imagine China doing something similar. With Russia we were able to slap strong economic sanctions on them... but if our economy is strongly intertwined that makes taking any strong stance against that nation extremely difficult. I don't think anyone wants their future and safety dependent on strangers from a different society that have different cultural values.
You’re not missing much.

I suppose something close might be OCAML or Haskell, since they have similar type safety to Rust (whose syntax is loosely based on OCAML from what I understand) but have some nice features that Python and Nim use like list comprehensions and generators, lazy evaluating, etc. But also with Rust macros you can sort of make your own sub-DSL's which add some of those features.
Interesting ideas! Might want to take into account the customarily rainy weather in the Netherlands. The graph here shows roughly 50% of the time conditions are rainy, so your estimates might be somewhat over-estimating. Luckily there are other opportunities for green energy in the Netherlands, like wind power for example.
When Citibike was first announced, there was all kinds of outrage. Comments predicting that it will be mayhem, there will be a bloodbath, it will snarl the streets, and all kinds of other doomsday scenarios were put forth in hearings and online forums.

None of it came to pass. There has been one fatality with Citibike in 5+ years, during which 60+ million trips have been taken. The city has adjusted to the increase cycling activity- I used to get cut off, honked at, and generally harassed for being on "their" road, but the active hostility is all but gone, and I see many more drivers actively looking at the bike lane before attempting a turn.

NY is large enough that there will always be a vocal minority to change. In my own building I was in disbelief when a board member is trying to drum up resistance to a citibike rack being put outside of our building. He is an older gentleman, and just a month before had been complaining about cars illegally parking in the space across the street where they proposed to put the rack. When pressed about what his specific concern was, the best he could come up with is "it will be bad for the buildings value!" and got visibly angry with me when I asked how additional transportation options would decrease the value of the building...

I appreciate that Firefox has made this something users have to opt in to, and explicitly enable, and explained that the data is shared with a 3rd party in non legalese.
Yeah, I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous clickbait written by hipster sysengs using fringe architectures to generalize about a gigantic range of complex systems and saying "all you need to do is sample some logs, guys, why are you still using dashboards".

You know what solves ops issues? System visibility connected to automation designed to diagnose root causes and provide simple solutions to common problems. Serverless adds extra complexity and points of failure, but that doesn't mean "you can't debug distributed systems with dashboards". Give me a break.
It only matters in a positive sense. Being written in TypeScript signals that it uses modern features that makes the code easier to read, that it doesn't use too many strange dynamic features, and of course that there are type definitions available for other TypeScript users. Other users can use it like they would use any JavaScript library.
Regarding filling the frame: Yes and no.

If you take it literally, then "No!"

Most photographers zoom out a little so they have room to crop. This is especially handy in landscape photography, because of the need for full front to back sharpness. Unless you have a fantastic lens/camera system, you cannot go down to f/22 and expect a sharp photo. But if you widen the aperture your depth of field is limited. So landscape photographers often zoom out and shoot at f/14 or wider, and then crop to what they initially wanted to catch.

So yes, fill the frame, but only after cropping.

Finally, I tend to agree with one book I read. When it comes to landscape photography, just remember two rules:

1. Convey depth (landscape photos are best when you have interesting elements both near and far).

2. Utilize balance

All the other rules you tend to see tend to either support one of these two. If they don't, ignore them. There are several composition tricks to convey depth. But if you just learn the rules individually, you'll end up with compositions where you have multiple elements conveying depth (one is enough!)
There are some aluminum plants in Germany that do this[1]

More ambitiously ARPA-E has a program where one of the goals is light metal production(aluminum, magnesium,etc) using variable energy sources[1]. One of the interesting possibilities they present in the program is being able to use molten metal produced in refining as an energy storage medium. Although I couldn't find any program participants doing this one is using thermal energy storage for metal production[2]. A fair amount of metal refining processes need high amounts of heat and heat can be stored easier than electricity at scale.

They do enforce it. My office is on one of the major feeders to the Holland Tunnel (Broome/Watts Street), so it gets extremely congested everyday from 4 to 6. Every light cycle, several cars block the box, and a small team of traffic cops sprints out from their hiding spot around the corner, ready to write tickets. I think it's just a matter of scaling that tactic out to other intersections where traffic comes to a complete stop for twenty seconds at a time, allowing cops to give and explain tickets in the intersection without disrupting the flow of traffic.
Let's talk about the knee-jerk reaction we are all probably having right now: "Muh privacy!"

It's hard not to have that reaction. A couple days ago there was a front page post on HN about the DNS-Over-HTTPS features that Mozilla is experimenting with. Mozilla has this storied history of community reactions. So perhaps we can all be forgiven for being on edge with Firefox. Our news feed makes it seem like Mozilla is out to get you.

And yet, none of these stories ever end up bearing fruit. How often has Mozilla _actually_ violated your privacy. When rubber meets the road, Firefox is in many ways the most pro-user-privacy browser on the market.

Not to mention all the other work that Mozilla does. Common Voice (https://voice.mozilla.org/en) is an amazing project that could completely change the game for user privacy in the IoT industry. Let's Encrypt stepped up the level of encryption on the internet by an order of magnitude, and it did so for free when everyone else was gouging us. Rust is making many bugs a thing of the past, which will lead to far fewer instances of user data being leaked by security bugs.

Yet through all this work that Mozilla does to fight _for_ you, they get shit on by news articles and in these comment sections. Meanwhile Chrome, which we _know_ is harvesting our data, gets no news.

Perhaps it is because we hold Mozilla to a higher standard. We are used to Google's abuse with Chrome, so we don't talk about it. But any move by Mozilla that could possibly be misconstrued as them becoming corrupt raises all our alarms.

Or perhaps the Firefox team is simply struggling with PR. After all, these last two news worthy incidences are really just issues with communication. Firefox _isn't_ sending all your DNS queries and browsing history off into wonderland. These are experiments. But it seems like a lot of people miss that point. So maybe it's just a communication issue.

Or maybe this all has to do with Mozilla being open. When Google experiments, they do so mostly in secret. Mozilla's transparency might be making them easy targets for sloppy news.

Either way, my point is that a lot of us are happy to throw Mozilla under the bus at the slightest hint of corruption, but we never take the time to appreciate the good work they've done (for free, by the way).
The actual prosecutor/district attorney often is, but they all have lawyers working for them, except in the tiniest jurisdictions. U.S. Jurisdictions also often have elected judges, so some of the same pressures would apply to them.
Also wondering about extensions, how are those handled? Or is this for plain documents only? For example in Sphinx you can mark up figures, youtube videos, graphviz graphs, etc. Are those plugins available with mkdocs?

What about a book with parts? That's one area that Sphinx falls down, and they've been dragging their feet on it so far.
Don't feel bad - it's something many many people confuse. Marketing jargon, changing production targets, and general lack of knowledge in a very technical field only exacerbate the problem.
It's highly competitive out there, but let's say you are in the top 5% of musicians which have real talent but can't make money.

Ultra specialization is one option. It's easier to make it as a Christian Rocker than a regular Rocker, but the rabbit hole goes really deep here.

Become part of someone else's content creation process. From video game soundtracks to a song writers demo tapes, many people want to turn a written song into music and while you generally don't get residuals you can still make decent money this way.
Thanks for supporting this cutting edge technology. I really hope it catches on.

>for younger musicians to make a living

I don't have any stats, but even 30 years ago it was hard to stand out/make a living as a young musician. Why should today be easier, especially when there's several orders of magnitude more choices to contend with (additionally with albums/concerts being relatively cheap due to downward pressure from the Internet)? One could argue that streaming payouts aren't as fair as they should be, but that's an extension of album royalties from yester-decade.
If it were that simple than no one would care if Walmart dumps a ton of goods on the market at below cost to drive its competitors out of business.

>"Meanwhile, NYC via NYPD gets the rage and vitriol from all of the traffic jams and general griping from the tickets."

You don't need officers to write tickets at all you just put up cameras to pick off the low hanging fruit - speeding, blocking the intersections and blocking the cross walk. The only reason that speeding cameras were taken down was b/c the state failed to reauthorize them in time.

>"Depends on who gets the money."

It's safe to say that NYC gets that money. Upwards of billion dollars of it anyway:

>"The city collected $957 million in fines in fiscal year 2015, an increase of 7.5 percent from the previous year and a 12 percent increase since 2012."

"Red light camera revenue, which has been on the decline since 2012, jumped $1 million to $29 million in fiscal year 2015. Meanwhile, bus lane camera revenue increased to $17 million from $12 million the year before and speed camera violations increased to $31 million from $2 million" [1]

It's not going the be TNG writers, unfortunately. The modern writers of the shite Star Trek reboot franchise are going to be giving Captain Picard lines. I shudder to think of what will result from this.
The really mystifying part is that one of the key value propositions of Firefox is "here is a browser that respects your privacy," and yet Mozilla keeps flirting with bolting things on to Firefox that actively undermine that value proposition. They repeatedly sabotage the success of their only product! It's astounding.
To answer your high level question: Absolutely not.

International trade theory's core concepts are structured as a n-player game, with n being the number of nations. That is to say, a nation has a fixed amount of resources. If a domestic policy is chosen to optimize for the production of cheap microchips (because you can't produce under-cost for a significant period of time), you are impacting the production of other goods.

When a nation optimizes for the production of a good it can produce advantageously (see: comparative advantage), the world benefits (As you make less of the goods you produce less efficiently). Sure, individual members within the nation may receive subsidies or subsidize others, but that's a domestic issue.

It's difficult to explain this in the level of detail that it warrants to the layman, because the underlying theory is built upon a substantial chunk of underlying economic theory. The biggest issue with Econ is that it's simply unintuitive, and that it takes a lot of effort to switch your mindset.
Github Pages doesn't cost money.
Programmers' tools are great for dealing with plain text, so if you write plain text, good for you! But other people often deal with things that aren't plain text, and I don't think it's a good idea to try to squeeze them into the lowest common denominator just because it's more natural for us.

It's easy to underestimate how much meaning ordinary people bestow upon layouts, colors, and other stylistic choices that programmers often think is frivolous. I think we should focus more on how we might design tools that allow people to work together effectively on non-plain-text content (rich text, photos, videos, you name it) than how we might convince everyone to adopt our plain-text tools.
Patreon Acquires Memberful, an Interview with Patreon and Memberful CEOs
> Maybe they don't need money, and Musk is just taking advantage of undervaluation to make a great deal. But it's certainly not crazy to think that they do need money, and if so, taking the company private may be the only viable option.

This doesn't make any sense. Companies don't go private because they need money unless it's a private buy-out. There is no indication at all that TSLA would have any trouble accessing the debt markets. In fact what we see is TSLA turning away investors like the Saudis who are eager to increase their exposure to the firm. If TSLA was so desperate for money why would they be turning away some of the biggest investors in the world?

It took me several attempts to ascend the learning curve of Anki, but once I did, it changed my life. Anki Essentials by Alex Vermeer [0] was the introduction that got me over the hump.

Now I use Anki almost daily for learning programming, math, vocabulary, and retaining books I've read.

On books, I originally wrote a script that scraped the Kindle highlights page and converted them into a file that could be imported into Anki. I'd Cloze delete passages and review maybe 20 a day. That practice was so beneficial that I've since started developing it into a standalone product called Readwise. [1]

Readwise doesn't yet incorporate hardcore spaced repetition and active recall principles, but it will soon.

Hi, I'm François, an engineer at Open Collective and this is one of my first projects there.

When I joined Open Collective, I was excited to see so many great Open Source projects (like Babel, Webpack, etc ...) managing their financing on the platform. However, it was also quickly clear to me that most users of these Open Source projects have absolutely no idea about their efforts to become financially sustainable.

Discussing this problem within the team, we thought scanning for dependencies (such as package.json and composer.json) would be a simple way of matching users with projects, BackYourStack was born.

We started this for the community to use and own. It's Open Source itself and we would love to provide more detection patterns, also feature other financing strategies (outside of Open Collective). Looking forward to your feedback!
May I follow up with:

pandas and numpy
Thank you! Yes, I want to make sure the lib is lightweight and easy to use for beginners -- just include a script and ready to go. There's of course a babel-ES6-TS-something for experts too :)
I can name probably a dozen companies trying to win the 3D object CRM game, but nobody is in the lead currently. It's still too early for standards to emerge and most content creators are duplicating effort across product lines eg. Target, Houzz, Wayfair are all modeling the same object in different ways (photogrammetry, hand modeling etc...).

3D content creation is one of, if not the biggest bottleneck for AR.

The arguments for a BEV over a PHEV strike me as just like the insistence of some that it's a good tradeoff to get rid of your spare tire to save a fraction of a percent in gas.

You seem to agree that a PHEV doesn't need to and won't use much gas on average, which means its environmental impact is not a lot greater than a BEV. And something you are ignoring is that a PHEV needs a significantly smaller battery than a BEV, which counterbalances the cost of the engine as well as its environmental impact.
