> The FDA can make progress on this by policies that reduce kids picking up vaping and using proven methods to stop them from picking up smoking.

Thing is, these "proven methods" (gums/patches) are extremely ineffective - last time I checked it was something along the lines of 20-something% success rate. Vaping has been also pretty much proven at this point to be way less damaging than smoking at short-to-medium term.

I don't know about studies on effectiveness as a smoking cessation tool, but just the risk reduction alone makes it worth consideration, and would make it pretty damn dangerous and short-sighted to outright ban...
Seriously. The answers "minimal contact, creative work, talking to animal people, being transformed into an animal person" only work at specific kinds of parties. Definitely not the ones full of people with healthy families, ordinary jobs, common hobbies, and normal dreams.
Considering that communists are historically against private property and their usage as a means of production, eventhough the statement is very loaded and inflamatory it still is somewhat appropriate when addressing critics who are against the use of intellectual (private) property as a mean of production.

This is absolutely not how WE use it, but I'm sure lots of people do stupid stuff like that.

We actually deploy vault tokens to every user(happens at login time, since login authentication happens against vault). So we can deploy secrets directly to end users using vault policy.

Applications that are not ran/started directly by the user find other means of getting their secret 0(VAULT_TOKEN), usually through nomad, but in the rare case it's a standalone application not run under nomad, we seed the startup with a token by hand, and then have a process handle renewals, etc.
The two biggest problems US tech giants have, are fines-as-taxation from the EU and France increasingly pushing for the idea of a restricted competition zone for the EU (a poor attempt at how China incubated its own tech giants by walling everything off). Germany is dramatically more globalist economically (an export giant), so most of the EU's regressive insular ideas will come from France in their style of protectionism.

A distant third problem are US regulators, which are slowly moving forward with targeting the tech giants (which now has both sides of the political machine looking at them, for different reasons). The giants no doubt feel like they can massage that situation better, as it's their home turf. They're invasive aliens as far as the EU is concerned.
Jobs that require "facetime" can't do that. The only ones that can are remote work. I'm in favor, but most companies resist even when feasible.

Not to mention a city is more than housing. It's nice to walk to the corner pub, go to a theatre, sporting event, etc.
No kids, but I know people who do have them. If you have the space, get a power rack and you can do workouts when you have the time. If you don't have the space, there are tons of body weight workouts. You can also get kettle bells. The point is to do something physical every day.

And yes, life can cause exercise to suffer. Kids, work, etc... will throw curve balls. Do what you can, and keep the fire going. Maintain until you get back to going hard.
Even fewer people in my extended group of friends and family are aware of Linux now than 18 years ago, and that is saying something. The only people who know anything about it are geeks, and we are a minuscule amount of the population.

If you build a machine using components that leverage the drivers built into the OS you can bypass those problems.

That's why sites like the one given above are so helpful in the process.

They list the specific components that are known for worry free operation.

It's like building a Windows NT machine back in the day. You have to stick with components that are known to work with Apple's drivers, likely because Apple has used that same component in one of it's own computers.
> Renters (often under rent control) are often NIMBYs as well

This is a very SF-specific view of the world. :)

Rent control is specific to just a handful of locations and is often subject to statewide restrictions (e.g. Costa-Hawkins). In general, renters are less inclined toward NIMBYism. This is especially true for the younger ones, who don't benefit as much from RC even in the locations where it exists. And even rent controlled tenants don't like the fact that they can't move.
Because you’re renting. Can someone legally do that to a house you just bought from them because they did not pay their contractors? That scenario seems more akin to the current situation than the one you’re describing.
Lua doesn’t really run in browsers (except with emscripten or WASM? and also fengari (Lua interpreter written in JS with interop and GC sharing)) but for http luasocket / cqueues / openresty libs are good, and for servering also openresty seems good.

The equivalent for stb libs would be crossplatformness and in my experience they’ve worked for their advertised purpose on mac, windows, linux, android, ios.
This article missed the franchise dealer economic factors. Due to the floorplan financing system, US dealers for volume brands don't want to take custom orders anymore. They live or die by inventory turnover rate and so they want to sell you a car that's on the lot today. Thus they mostly stock only the most popular combinations of options. Most buyers who would prefer a manual are also willing to buy an automatic, but buyers who want an automatic won't buy a manual. So the dealers don't stock manuals.

I don't think it's just similar, I think it actually is prototypical.
I'm a senior millennial (mid-80s kid) but I can tell you, anecdotally, that younger generation is more addicted to their phones and devices than my gen ever was. There was a car accident in front of my younger cousins' house where a car hit a fence and literally flipped over. While me and my uncle/aunt and a few others called for help and chatted about the event...my younger cousins were busy texting the event to their friends. It was as if they were there, but not really there.
Why didn't the community open a PR against the repo?
Couldn't this be accomplished with something like the "use strict", telling it to use the new version instead?

That way, the existing web doesn't break, and people can start using a more sane JS as support rolls out over the course of 1-2 years.
> the other party will be found guilty of disrupting your business

This all sounds quite lucrative for the lawyers and notaries. It remains disruptive, unsettling and expensive, not to mention unnecessary, for everyone else. Depending on which of the EU’s 28 member states’ courts one finds oneself dragged into, what you’re proposing could be years of distraction.
For comparison, a large footprint 35 floor high rise office tower might have 550,000 sq ft of total space, including central hallways/elevator lobby areas.

It may actually be faster and more secure, it does well on artificial tests at least. But my issue with it is generally stability. More crashes and some sites don't behave as well. Video streaming in particular is iffy. Since Chrome is most tested against now, I just have the most stable overall experience with Chrome. Even if it had the worst performance I'd probably still be using it for that reason.
I agree. If you look around at the role models presented today to young people you'll notice a lot of poor role models, many of them not even grounded in reality.

I know that I work a lot with FreeCAD and KiCAD, to develop PCBs and housings in 1 shot. This should explain my workflow.

I use things like the interactive BOM https://forum.kicad.info/t/interactive-html-bom-plugin-for-k...

along with uConfig, I can make KiCAD parts directly from PDFs. https://github.com/Robotips/uConfig

Digikey also has almost all their parts in a KiCAD library. Clone the repo and import it... Its crazy complete, and combined with the BOM tool, even generates DK part number links. You can determine price easily....

Along with that, there's a great many plugins for FreeCAD as add-ons here: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons . I really like the GDT, a LOT.

Open source starts out rough, but the more work is accomplished, we get better than the commercials do :) We all build on each other - we're not competing in a death-math style competition.
My point assumed, even though I didn't say it explicitly, that the terms of the contract allowed the landlord to do such a thing and that all the terms of the contract were legal.

It is common sense that when an asset is leased/rented to another party, if that other party does not pay on time or is somehow using the asset outside of the terms of the agreement, that the owner would remove access to the asset. If laws are made to subvert the ability to exercise common sense, that's a different issue.

As a side note, I am a landlord myself, and I have a hard time understanding what motivation I would have to be "abusive" with access to my rented properties. I am interested in getting paid and having my property not damaged beyond normal wear and tear. "Abusing" my tenants would not seem to further either of those two interests. It would be interesting to understand what exactly is being considered abuse. Though I get it is probably off topic.
>(What if you looked even younger - less gray hair, say - if you didn't work out?)

Because that makes no sense given everything we know about exercise and a healthy diet?

I believe they already did that for some years now.

It probably shouldn't be called a purchase then.

Consumers understand the distinction between buying a car and leasing a car. Nobody says in common conversation, "I bought Spotify," they say, "I subscribed to Spotify."

It's no accident that companies like Apple lean on terminology like "purchase" instead of "license." Apple knows that the iTunes buy button would be less attractive if it used language that was more transparent. So instead they are capitalizing on that confusion - they want the customer to feel like this is a permanent transaction. They want a movie license to feel the same as the experience of buying a DVD.

If most consumers don't understand the difference, then businesses should use less confusing language within marketing and store interfaces. If they're OK with consumer confusion or if that consumer confusion is actually the point, then they should also be OK with the blowback they get when customers eventually feel misled or betrayed. They have to take the bad with the good.
I live in a country with socialised healthcare (UK/NHS) and while I like the NHS (I have two complex medical conditions that would largely make me uninsurable in the US) it has it's problems.

As always it's the implementation not the concept, the NHS has been a political football for decades, The left wing party (Labour) get in and increase funding to offset the damage the Right wing party did (the Conservatives) by underfunding, then they swap back and forth.

Even with all of it's problems it's a very efficient system at scale but it could be much better.

For what it's worth out of 600 odd MP's (our version of Congress people) I'd maybe piss on two or three if they where on fire, the rest can burn.

> Lua is semantically almost identical to modern JavaScript.

Having spent a lot of time looking pretty hard at Lua, LuaJIT, and embeddedable variants of JS(duktape and the like) I think that's a bit of a stretch.

It's pretty trivial to induce JS memory leaks[1] that can be brutal on embedded platforms. We had a prototype project written in JS and Lua, same functionality but hit issues like this pretty often. Like most memory leaks they weren't straightforward to track down as well.

For my money LuaJIT still reigns supreme despite the fact that it's not under active development any more[2].

The difference is that this would be like you paying your rent on time, abiding by every rule, and then showing up to see the building was bulldozed while you were away.

The solution to this seems simple to me, Apple should prompt the customer to download a local copy. Or upload it automatically to that person's iCloud account.
Yes, any contract in which all the terms are legal and to which both parties entered in to freely is "fair".

Is there a chance of coercion in regards to whether one of the parties entered the contract? Of course there is and if that's the case, it's not a contract.

I don't know what an "unfair negotiating" advantage is, at least not as it regards whether or not I enter a contract, so I can't really weigh in on that.
The amount of misinformation in this thread is worrying. Seems like your American pharmaceutical lobbies, or whoever gains in destroying the vaping industry, have succeeded in spreading the idea that vaping is somehow more damaging than smoking. Now that the science showed pretty clearly it's at least way less dangerous than cigarettes in short-to-mid term, they switched the narrative to "for the kids".

I think "desktop" in this case just means "not optimized for mobile". It's a [[desktop] [[UI toolkit] for Web]], not a [[[desktop UI] toolkit] for Web].

I guess "A UI Toolkit for Desktop Web" (as opposed to "Mobile Web") would be clearer but sound more awkward.
In a nutshell: > the “Buy” button in digital stores is, at best, mislabeled
When housing supply is constrained and regulations prevent affordability, rich folks are able to outbid everyone else. That's a fact that won't change.

An oversupply on the other hand, would lead to older units being forced to lower prices, but won't happen until NIMBYs get out of the way.
This is just plain stupidity.

Sometimes I feel like the whole world is ruined by ignorant people in power. As for the Internet, it is exclusively being ruined by ignorant actors in positions of state power. All the while, armies of good people make the Internet better every day.

In that case, the landlord did not abide by the terms of the agreement and he would be liable for damages to me. That is not the case in this situation if I understand correctly. This situation is one in which there is a legal contract and one of the parties has now decided they don't like it.

Ha, that's what would happen with my dad. All he gives a crap about is his chess game. Hell, just moving to a new laptop with the latest version of Windows screwed up his access to that game for a bit and he had a meltdown.

The pro-GDPR "good riddance" argument applies just as well here: obliterating operations which are too fly-by-night to obey the law is, in fact, the socially desired outcome. The law is the law. We shouldn't exempt small players from internet regulation any more than we should exempt small factories from pollution controls or small automakers from safety rules.

What about the cultural differences between London and rural Romania or Hungary? An even larger gap exists there than between SF and rural America, due to the very wide differences in macro national culture, national history and language.

Financially that's also true. The median income in Bulgaria is a few hundred dollars per month. The extreme variance between the countries at the top of the EU and the bottom, is far beyond anything you see in the US between states. There's an eight to ten fold GDP per capita gap between Bulgaria and countries like Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Sweden. In the US, there's close to a two fold gap between Massachusetts or New York and West Virginia or Mississippi.
Yeah I only bother purchasing songs I plan to play on guitar through Amazon for access to the direct mp3 file, everything else gets streamed through Spotify for casual listening. No point buying online access to albums or individual songs just for casual listening imho. Can buy band shirts/high quality vinyl records/other merch directly from most artists and see them in concert as better ways to support them.
I dont see how a low median return plays no role in total returns. If the median were higher surely the total would be higher no?
