This is true of many, many open source projects and has always been true. My first Linux was SuSE. Had to pay for it. The source was there but if you wanted Linux in an easy to use form, not so much. It was no big deal to pay because I knew it was funding the open source work. My first smartphone was an Android phone. I've paid for them, sometimes mostly to get software upgrades, because the pure open source builds were not as good. I buy a Mac even though I mostly use open source apps available for Linux and even though parts of macOS are themselves open source, because I want the extra proprietary features.

In the end most open source software I use is ultimately funded by better paid-for versions that people opt in to. The sky doesn't fall.
What is a dramatic price impact in the context of Apple products. 5%? 10%? Would that really stop you? They keep hiking the prices anyway.
I can tell you from experience that this actually can be 100% unintentional.

I had a friend and he was the king of telling you a problem and knowing that you would have a solution that he wanted fix his way, but make you think it was your own.

Then I noticed people would just not accept something as a solution but it turns into their own idea after a while. It's their subconscious working things out.

I just did a quick google fu and yup it is actually a thing.

The US assumes people are capable of understanding things for themselves- my grocery store tracks my purchases in exchange for coupons and discounts, I feel it's worth it. FB holds my family's pictures hostage to show me ads, not worth it. Simple.

The EU also seems to assume that if someone is making money, someone else is being damaged- that every economic exchange is unfair. I don't really think that's true- it's not that Google or FB is taking massive advantage of me, they are taking a teeny-tiny bit of advantage of a massive number of people.
The clause in the US Constitution is brief and potentially ambiguous, but there has been no shortage of lawsuits about presidential eligibility and the legal definition in practice seems to be quite unambiguous.

For example, regarding Ted Cruz:

> Two November 2015 ballot challenges in New Hampshire alleging that Cruz was not a natural-born citizen were unsuccessful. In December, a similar lawsuit was filed in Vermont, and an unsuccessful lawsuit was filed in Florida. In January 2016, similar lawsuits were unsuccessfully filed in Texas and Utah, and two similar unsuccessful ballot challenges were filed in Illinois. In February, two similar unsuccessful lawsuits were filed in Pennsylvania and one was filed in Arkansas; a similar lawsuit was filed in Alabama; similar unsuccessful ballot challenges were filed in Indiana; and similar ballot challenges and an unsuccessful similar lawsuit were also filed in New York. In March, a similar lawsuit was filed in New York. In April, a similar ballot challenge was unsuccessfully filed in New Jersey.

> No lawsuit or challenge has been successful, and in February 2016, the Illinois Board of Elections ruled in Cruz's favor, stating, "The candidate is a natural born citizen by virtue of being born in Canada to his mother who was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth."

The "US blogosphere"'s perspective is heavily weighted by people who are employed by companies which lose money because of EU laws, people who have invested in companies which lose money because of EU laws, or people who are paid by companies which lose money because of EU laws.

Which is to say, I'm an American who's wildly in favor of the EU's regulatory changes to reign in big tech, but when you consider how many different individuals or organizations are by FAANG companies, the media perspective on these laws can be... tainted by self-interest.

Also note that movies and TV are often oddly at odds with even the industry that creates them. For instance, Hollywood is notoriously liberal (to the point that conservatives have to hide their political affiliation), and hence very pro gun control. Yet if you've seen many of our movies, you might have noticed that building props for Hollywood is a statistically significant portion of the gun manufacturing industry!

That’s very true. Though it wasn’t the contacts upload on its own so much. It was that they were uploaded in the background without permission or notification and your contacts were spammed without your permission.

I think "Google Inbox Replacement" is misleading if your workflow assumes users will use Gmail in addition to Monolist:

> We’re working on a Gmail integration as you read this! To start, the emails you star in Gmail and any threads that you haven’t responded to will become action items in Monolist, but we have plans for much more.

Personally I don't think I would use Monolist because I want to replace Google Inbox with a single service, not Gmail plus another service.

It's all the same debate, really. After all is said and done, rights function to entitle you to things or acts. The blurry line that I believe you might be talking about has a very specific name, but recent social and public discourse make a lot of people nowadays automatically cringe at it's sight (wrongly, IMO) without seriously hearing out or considering it's merits. I'm talking about the word "privilege".
Like others in the thread have said, maybe it's something that can be discussed with the manager and he can be blind-copied so that he has a record if something like that happens in the future.

It’s not at all like a VAT as it doesn’t impact everyone equally. It’s redistributing wealth to specific market participants from others.

In this case almost all profits that come to the domestic producers of steel come from the domestic consumers (and those impacted by tit for tat tariffs).

There might be very good reasons to prefer some industries to others but as a revenue source tariffs are not at all like a neutral VAT.

I would argue this is more to do with Portland culture of nice than anything.

I love riding, but I have been run over. No thank you. I will bike for transportation the day we implement Dutch style separated bike lanes (i.e. by an actual physical barrier, even if only a slightly raised bike lane)

Other than that, I drive my mountain bike to areas where there are no cars.

Edit: in the city I'm in now, we just 'created' a bunch of bike lanes. Which means putting paint on a continuous stretch of asphalt and expect vehicles moving at 10mph that weight 50 pounds to do just fine sharing the road with vehicles weighing 2000+ pounds and going 50+ mph. Ridiculous and a waste of my tax dollars.
It's because of the belief that specific acts shouldn't be illegal, just the negative effects caused by those acts. People can say racist things all they want, but if there isn't anyone actually being harmed by it, should they be punished by the government? It's like with Musk, he's not being investigated for a stupid tweet, he's being investigated for a stupid tweet that appears to have been made with the purpose of directly influencing the stock market. Specific acts should only be made illegal if it can be proven that the specific act essentially guarantees that someone will be harmed as a result.
You need to chat with your boss about enforcement means. Two options for an answer to violators:
1. "Send e-mail or come back during office hours"
2. "Talk to my boss"

If you instead yield to the pressure and make an exception, then: a) You'll be inflaming your own sense of aggrieved anger, and
b) It'll keep happening.
That looks like 3 distinct wireless chargers, all for phones. Apple was attempting something more ambitious: a large mat where you could drop 3 different types of devices in any location.
>>Every day that you don't live in the city and make a purchase outside the city is a tax-dollar that city is missing out on and that someone living full time in the city is paying.

Another short-term resident would be there in his place on the days he's not in NYC. Year round there will almost always be someone staying in his unit.

And short term renters tend to spend more per day than long-term residents, so they probably contribute significantly more to the city's tax base.

AOT can deal with it. In Java 9 or 10, they added an ability to AOT compile modules. You can still do dynamic classloading with the result, and the JVM still warms up to higher peak performance than you get with a static AOT compiler alone.

The SubstrateVM flavour can't do dynamic classloading or go as fast as HotSpot, it's strictly less powerful and compatible. However the static points-to analysis it does along with other optimisations mean much smaller binaries and memory footprints. If those matter to you and you can sacrifice classloading, great. If you can't, experiment with HotSpot's AOT support (which also uses Graal under the covers) and you can get faster startup time, but without the memory savings.
Sometimes they're a bit overly quote courteous unquote -- stopping unexpectedly to let you cross, holding up traffic behind them, or waiting too long to turn onto the road you're on so that they end up behind you when they could have easily gone in front and been on their merry way, etc.

Not that I want to complain -- I'll take this any, any day over the drivers in certain other northern cities named after 70s rock bands. Just a bemused observation.

^ Jefro118 is correct. This is the a significant phrase in financial and regulatory circles.
The requirement is that you be a "natural born" citizen.

That said, although legal scholars can have how many angels can dance on the head of a pin debates about this, the most reasonable interpretation is probably that they're US citizens/eligible for US citizenship from birth. If push ever came to shove on this question, one would hope the courts would side with the most liberal interpretation.

SubstrateVM does support that pattern.

Seriously, gun control reform is very important. We just need the activists on both sides to start acting like reasonable adults.

(Begin rant)

On the right, there's the "good guy with the gun" myth; and the belief that responsible homeowners need to have a gun "for safety." Both are absurd.

On the left, there's this belief that bad guns can be banned, and good guns allowed. That's also absurd, because all guns are designed to kill! A hunter sitting in a tree waiting for a deer uses the same equipment as a man looking through a window waiting for his victim.

That's what I mean by acting like adults. The right and left are so unrealistic that they're going to get nowhere with real reform.
> They aren't all trying to do that of course

The vast majority of them aren't trying to do that, similar to how the vast majority of longs aren't trying to P&D.

No. Use the Apple model. Steve Jobs was needed until the IPhone was really established (not to mention the IPod.) Only then should you bring in a guy like Cook.
The US is huge. Just to add a slight counterpoint, where I live I too can get great produce and visit natural areas that aren’t fenced off (California). Walkability depends on the city as well. The other points you make are valid though.

I assume there are several hundred law review articles written by people who are quite a bit more qualified to debate this stuff than we are that can give you several answers to your first question. All I can tell you is: the Civil Rights Act explicitly defines the nature of places where protected classes can and can't be excluded. I'm not interested in trying to reconstruct it from first principles.

Instagram and Teens: What Do You Need to Know?
What really amazes me is the creation of new "Shopping Centres" - miles and miles of independent stores and nothing between them but parking lots. They took the mall and scaled it up so everyone gets a store, and now if I want to go to two places I have to actually drive from one to the other because it's nothing but parking lots and pedestrian hostile roads separating them - sometimes it's a two minute drive, but that's so much easier to do than try and navigate on foot it's ridiculous. You want to go to the next store over, but it's 3 lanes each way of homicidal traffic between you and it, or a 5 minute walk to get to the closest cross-walk.

They seem to be combining several steps here (though maybe I'm wrong). In a comparable aquarium build the bubbling helps to oxygenate the water and to support the protein skimmer. You have things like bioballs with a large surface area to contain the bacteria and that acts to process the waste.

But, to answer your question: I think it can probably be done on an industrial scale. Many larger fish tank setups have refugiums, where the water is processed. Some people set those up with plants which, in my experience, grow really well. I've only used underwater plants, but it makes sense that you could use others.
Despite the general California rule, California does in fact permit and enforce non-competes. If an employee obtains “trade secrets” and the non compete is narrowly tailored to prevent the employee from using said trade secrets, the non-compete will generally be enforceable.

I actually do think your linked tweet is problematic (though on a much smaller scale than the "secured funding" one).
