I see that most people here (and people I know) would like to keep the "summer time" all year, because they like to get out early from work. But why not start working at 7am instead of 8am, while keeping the "true" solar horary, instead of our clocks be almost 1,5h away from the reality? Time is relative, I guess.. :)
you should really have a go at persisting with black coffee - it's definitely acquired, but I really can't imagine coffee any other way.

> Copyright should only have a term of life (with a minimum duration of 50 years in case the artist dies at 20-30) and that's all.

There are, to me, two broad classes of copyright. One is for the "works of art", that is for things that people can enjoy (e.g., music). I suspect whatever choice we make the society would not be affected too much. I think your lifetime / 50 years is a bit too generous, but whatever.

IMO way more important is finding the right balance for the technology / know how. That is something that people want to replicate to learn, produce or improve things. The original idea of copyright makes sense, but with modern communication and prototyping speed, 5 years of exclusive use is the max we should give.

I think the society should focus on the technology part first; sadly, most of the discussion is about the royalties to noise generators :).
UC Santa Cruz plea to professors, staff: rent to students
At least the Wikipedia article names competitive markets as central aspect of capitalism. I agree with your sentiment though. Companies are basically little bubbles of monopoly in a sea of free markets. But the optimal state for a company (and the owning capitalist) is no competition at all.
Its mentioned at the bottom of the article, but thought its worth calling out here too: https://nathanfriend.io/inspirograph/
See my comment about hacked Nooks, they're both really cheap and looks super fast. In general newer e-ink displays can render new content without refreshing the entire screen like in the early days.

I don't think it has to do with demand as such. It is just hard to allocate resources with business class only flights. With a traditional layout you can oversell economy and upgrade or push people to the next flight. If you are running all your business class capacity on a few flights you can't do that. Nor can you have the same amount of routes. I guess you can say that is because of demand, but it is more because of the model. "Tourist business" doesn't really exist, unless maybe we count Norwegian.

That said, I would love to see an all business Airbus A321neoLR with Thompson Vantage Solo seats.
I read the article, but I can't see how the title is supported.

What is for example, the second largest tech hub and how narrow is silicon valley's lead over it.

I would guess that the bay area if way way ahead of anywhere else (I don't like it, but it seems to be self apparent) and the lead is not narrow at all.
I really want some e-ink screen setup for a RPi but not sure how it will work.
DST rules and timezones in general already change all the time. This is why having automatic updates for packages like tzdata or pytz is important.

Give that job to the military and it can remain secret for a long time. A signals regiment could have done that job with no leaks, even more so if they were SF.
Well, as I said, in my country it's not the case.
Wow, never thought about it this way. Its probably a nice plot for a crime novel.

Copyright should probably be about 5 years long, total, non-extendable.

This achieves 95% of the asserted benefits of the existing copyright system and gets rid of 99% of the problems. The boost to national innovation would be tremendous.

But of course it's about money (copyright is a just a privatized tax) and anyone advocating this would find themselves marked for death by the copyright industry.
Indeed, and Australia demonstrates that it doesn't have to be like that. In most similar verticals we are very similar to either the UK, the US or both. Take McDonalds: incredibly successful fast food shop in Australia. That American success story works here, as does KFC and Domino's.

But when Starbucks arrived, it was a hilariously dismal flop because we already had sufficiently good coffee at all of our local non-chain cafes (and exceptionally good coffee at a non trivial subset of them).[1]

When Australians stop for a coffee on the way to work, a large number of us are going to a local cafe. We do have chains, but none of them command more than a very small share of the overall coffee market.[2]

Ironically, the number one coffee chain in Australia is almost certainly McCafe. And there's reason for that: the McCafe brand was an invention of McDonalds Australia to help their restaurants stay relevant in the Australian market. Because they emphasised quality from day one, the menu was native to Australian tastes, and the restaurants were already popular for their traditional fare, it has been a remarkable success. (McCafe in other countries is often little more than a brand on the cup; in Australia it's a third of the restaurant interior, with its own counter and menu. [3][4][5])

The solution, of course, is to make legal arguments a class of intellectual property.

If a lawyer wants to cite a precedent, he's got to pay. Using a parallel argument without explicitly citing the precedent is a tort, and may be subject to lawsuit.

This will tie up all the intellectual property lawyers who will start suing each other. At that point the rest of us can go on with our lives.

(At least in countries with a common law based legal system...)

The plot of Airplane! was lifted verbatim from a non-comedy 1957 movie called Zero Hour!, specifically because AZZ knew they couldn't write plot.

Codelab: Versioning is Hard (aka the “SEF theorem”)
Has anyone ever considered detachable rockets for aircraft? I'm thinking SpaceX style boosters on the wings that could return to the airport. My understanding is that getting up to altitude requires lots of power but cruising/gliding, not as much. Reusable hydrogen boosters for take off and electric cruise sounds like an eco (not to mention fun) way to fly
That's right. It's an instantaneous rate. The instantaneous rate is constantly increasing. It's not a forecast. What's hard to understand about this?
This model underestimates the importance of unknown unknowns.

Generally speaking, the best solution is one of the solutions not yet explored (simply because it requires a juxtaposition of ideas that are distant in conventional semantic space). Both conventional curricula and just-in-time learning follow conventional paths & therefore double-down on both path dependence and intellectual monoculture.

A fairly straightforward way to break this pattern is to simply invert it: discover what your peers already know, and go out of your way to learn things that your peers don't know. If something is concretely important and your peers know it, they will explain it to you (or point you to resources, or take care of it) -- the collective understanding is more important than the individual understanding -- and so filling in the gaps in order to cover more total ground is a low-risk high-reward endevour.

Concretely, what does this mean? It means that if you are writing Javascript and C++, you ought to learn PROLOG, COBOL, and MUMPS. If you're writing webapps, you ought to study the culinary history of the ancient near east. If you're doing QA, you ought to study midcentury continental philosophy. If you're working with databases, you ought to study professional wrestling.
I used github pages with gitbook-cli for a project and it worked well. I set up a Travis integration to automatically build the book on commit. Life got in the way so I ended up not keeping up with it (I added other people as contributors but they haven't kept it up either). The other benefit was that I could select gitbook plugins that gitbook.com didn't support itself (particularly the LaTeX stuff).

This deployment scheme worked really well for me after I got it all tuned (my first experience with Travis so I screwed up a bunch of little things). I imagine any other CI/CD platform would be equivalent.
Not sure why this is getting downvotes. Gave you +1. I think there hasn’t been a president yet who has at least rudimental understanding of tech and internet. We should be electing more leaders from tech or engineering background into governing positions otherwise people who have no idea how internet works will be making decisions about how to regulate it.

Yup. Whereas rotations involve two spatial directions (the plane of rotation), a Lorentz boost involves a spatial direction and a temporal direction. Also, the analogue of a rotation angle for a Lorentz boost is a rapidity (hyperbolic angle).

I think biology would have "solved" the problem in this case. Without regulation and sustained pollution, the population would eventually decrease enough (through migration and increased mortality rate) to reduce pollution.
Depends. If the cancellation terms are advertised then its point and click and done and money back in a few days - no questions asked - hotels.com or agoda.com - do it regularly as plans changed. Most of direct hotels you have to email their reservation staff and go through the back and forth reasons to get something cancelled - which is a PITA/risk if cancellation time is 31 minutes away. It is true though if it's a non-cancellable deal you'll have more look if booked direct.

Ever tried to get a directy to match the OTA price, sure it can happen, then you get ++, or some shit forex they choose, or some other bullshit, it's not worth the hassle most of time. In addition when directy will sometimes match without hassle but then what about hotels.com 1 for 10 booking room free, or expedia points (about the same), I want that extra 7-8% (since you dont earn on free night) or whatever it is off too... good luck

With oversell too, very common in asia esp vietnam, they are more likely to move the direct booking to their sister/partner hotel rather than OTA booking, the moment you say that's not acceptable let me call agoda/hotels.com all of sudden some other punter booking is being moved...

I dont stay high end though (2-3 star) and in fairness I do recall hearing direct booking on chains get special benefits like airport pickups or breakfast but never a better rate than OTA since thats the terms of the large OTAs (never advertise a better rate than us)

YMMV

The salary that seems high on paper, on the ground is really just reasonable compared to the cost of living.
California to become first state to require companies to have women on boards
An explanation may be true and useful (better than no explanation) even if it is only applicable to some cases. A given case of bureaucracy may have one or even many among multiple potential causes, inducing (for the requester) latency or cost in order to "separate out the needy from the greedy" being one, the various benefits a manager gains by over-staffing being another (DMV?)...

Time and exasperation people are willing to put up with in order to get what they want is a form of co-payment. Part of it is paid for by the insured (as a "proof of real need"), another part being the bureaucracy which is paid by all insured people. Any insured may prefer to wait (than to occupy the bureaucracy by filling useless forms...) because it is far cheaper (no work for him nor for the bureaucracy), but this is rarely possible because there are urgent cases, and also because it seems more frustrating.

Not hiring is a huge gamble as well. Waiting an extra few months can force other employees to quit if the workload is being put on there plate.

If you are asking too much of candidates many will dropout as they get hired somewhere elsewhere quickier. The longer you take the quality of the pool gets reduced.

Hiring is important. Keep employees are probaby more immportant. Sales are in my opinion the most important. Taking a gamble can lead to 10/10 candidate hire. Chances are low it will lead to a 1/10 candidate. The longer they play it safe the lower average peak in the candidate pool.

If the process takes 3 months you will be lucky to get a b level guy unless your company is special (google/apple/hot startup). The A level guys will move on.

Someone with three offers in hand will not waste an unpaid day unless you can offer something special.

Example of the crazy optimizations that apply here: I once got a 20% speedup in a standard recursive search algorithm by abandoning the native function call stack and making my own search-specific stack data structure. Since these algorithms call the same function over and over, making the call stack do minimum work is actually significant.

As a heuristic it would be OK, however, there are some situations where the escape analysis algorithms don't detect certain scenarios so a linter may lead you to believe things are not escaping but in reality they really are, it's also implementation specific, so something that may have escaped in go 1.10 may no longer escape in 1.11 for example.

It's easy enough to profile and benchmark in go, so I would always treat that as the source of truth.

Again, you have to look at the actual data to avoid being mislead by that statement since it doesn’t have any context to let you know that the US is still significantly further behind. A single year which is within the range of normal year to year variation doesn’t invalidate a long-term trend.
