> Because Kaliningrad Oblast is small, homogeneous and an exclave within the European Union, in 2011 the whole Oblast was granted the status of border area eligible to local border traffic rules.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_border_traffic

NI is not an exclave. There may at some point be a "local traffic" agreement with between NI and The Republic of Ireland, but that is something that needs to be negotiated.

That this negotiation hasn't finished yet is because the relationship that the UK will have with the EU is still rather up in the air. The EU wants a border so it can maintain import duties with external countries, exclude dangerous items and people, and maintain compliance with things like food standards (think lowering of food standards to make a US trade deal possible). The UK wants a border so we (well, not me, the people who voted for this ill-conceived shitshow) can keep immigrants out, and also to collect customs tariffs, block etc. etc. etc.

The requirements that each negotiating position has, as well as the general desire to not trigger a recurrence of "the troubles" are really hard to solve. There are literal opposing requirements that somehow need to work together.

If you take that, and the fact that the UK needs the EU way more than the EU needs the UK (the "UK holds all the cards" blithering of the tea with vicar dancing round the maypole cricket on the green little englanders aside), then you realise that the EU doesn't really need to do anything. It's not going to "throw us a bone" on this, it's going to use it as a negotiating position, and the UK will eventually either give some ground on another issue (freedom of movement perhaps), or we won't and there will be a border.

You have to remember that this is what people voted for. If they didn't vote for this then perhaps they should have listened to "experts" more, and maybe people should be questioning the ability of politicians to so clearly lie through their teeth to get the thing that they want (eg. Boris Johnson: a conservative party leadership bid, "350 million per week" etc.)

The really really simple solution is for the UK to have full regulatory compliance with the EU, something like the Norway model, but all of the "models" have significant disadvantages, such as "pay with no say" as the Norway model is sometimes described. We could of course stay in the EU, that's actually been offered. We wouldn't have a border in NI, we would have access to relationships with other countries via the over 750 treaties that the EU has, but that it seems isn't something we want enough apparently.

That quote makes no sense. Load on the muscle is there with both bodyweight and weighted exercises - that's how you train the muscles. And the caveat about not skipping progressions works just as well for weighted exercises - you progress gradually so you never produce "strain on the muscles that they may or may not be able to deal with".

Same in india its called the dowry system. But now women are employed more and guess what its not changing as much it should be. Its strange that the educated employed women is expecting dowry from her parents to give it to her husbands(in most cases). The core problem is its considered a status issue. If the grand marriages are not celebrated and looked down then this might change.
Excellent comment as the first thing I thought after seeing the submission was exactly "how does it compare to f* and lean"?

Thank you!
But the argument is that women want to have more kids but can't because of career, maternity leave, benefits, etc. Also, survey after survey says that women want 2 or 3 kids ( average is about 2.5 ). But the fertility rate is far less than 2. So there is a disconnect between what women want and what women have. The question is why? Why aren't women able to achieve their goals? Of all the answers given, all of them are suspect.

> The trauma, in particular, is weirdly something that people don’t talk to young women about, and that often remains hidden from view.

Everybody talks about it. It's why society discourages girls from getting pregnant.

> Of the women I’ve known personally who have given birth, all but one had PTSD from the experience.

Well your experience is rather the anomaly. Most first time mothers choose to get pregnant again? 80% of first time mothers choose to do it again. Sure the birthing process isn't a walk in the park, but to say it is "trauma or PTSD" is absurd from a statistical and evolutionary point of view.

> I would also suggest that concerns about “birth rate” or other abstracted metrics are often a screen for concerns — from men — about access to sex. I mean, in the context of intensifying climate change, a decreasing birth rate is not really our biggest problem as a species. It might actually be an asset.

It's obvious your bias leans towards low birth rate but this is absurd and makes it hard to take you seriously. To say concerns about "birth rate" is about access to sex is nonsense. You do realize that pregnancy and higher birth rates gets in the way of sex right? It's one of the reasons why men invented condoms and birth control. Greater access to sex.
> Will end-user applications ever be truly programmable? If so, how?

This requires a clear separation of functions and data. Linux pipes are a glimpse of what's possible, and there's been some work in translating English to Bash. I think we aren't far from AI-powered English-to-Code translation being feasible: "order me an uber an hour before my next meeting" -> check calendar, filter, add -1, call the uber function. Alexa must be working on something like this. If I had billion that's what I'd work on.
"Are there barriers I haven't thought of?"

Not sure, but one barrier not mentioned in the post is the health insurance industry and its enormous clout. Right now, direct kale care is not seen as a threat, but if it ever is seen as a threat, you can bet it will be targeted. Look at how the industry was able to protect itself during the passage of the ACA. And how many people in Congress have Direct Care lobbyists gotten elected?

It's backed by z3, an SMT solver. There are theories in SMT for strings that can sometimes answer questions of your first flavor, but I don't know if they're in z3.

Solvers can also answer questions of your second variety, but again, sometimes they can't, and they can't be guaranteed to in general. For an example, consider this example: https://rise4fun.com/Dafny/Cube where the "ensures" on the return value enforces exactly that.

You also should be able to write set-inclusion style queries like your second clause, i.e. a function that takes an element and a list of elements as an input and only returns true if the element is contained within the list of elements. I think? I'm not sure why you couldn't.

Of course, whether or not that does what you think it does or not depends on how something can get written to that database - if there was a path to write something new to your exclusion list from elsewhere in your application, then the "verified" code would return true when you would think it would return false but it was doing exactly what you told it to do. Is this a problem with your design, or the verification? I'd argue the design, but verification-nihilists would probably say it's a problem with the verification.
Atlassian has always forbidden to talk about the performance of their products in their ToS and in their previous EULA. We all know why, but we don’t talk about it.

Starting with a plan has been absolutely essential for me.

This year I started a business which means I work full time from home (or a nearby coffee shop), because my co-founder is in a different city and timezone.

While I've worked part-time remote and on distributed teams before, the lack of structure from being your own boss has been a huge change. A blessing and a curse to be sure.

When I start the day without a plan, even if I "get lots of things done", I feel stressed all day and am almost certainly not effective.

That's probably also the answer to the time series question as well -- i.e. why construction is more costly today in the US than 100 years ago.

Interestingly, I think those complexities are not imposed by any monolithic person or organization, but is a the bulk result of lots of little regulations. I'm not sure any one specific person is saying "on the whole, this system of complexity is worth it" but rather each one by itself has a specific good (e.g. environmental study) without explicit accounting of the costs.

To be silly and meta, perhaps in addition to a mandatory environmental impact study of each large construction project, there should be a mandatory economic impact study on the environmental impact study.

Story time. At a previous company, we had an annoying crash bug - it crashed on some of the client's computers, but never on any of ours. Finally the client lent us the personal laptop of one of their workers, which reliably reproduced the crash, and we debugged it while sitting on one of the client's meeting rooms and found the cause. It was a crash deep in the obsolete framework we were using, which manifested when receiving a particular kind of accessibility message, which came from one of the components for Microsoft's touch screen system.

The reason we could never reproduce the crash before was that, being techies, none of us had any modern laptop, personal or not, with a touch screen. The client, being less technical, had some of their workers with touch screen laptops and the then-recent touch-focused version of Windows (which we also tended to avoid).

The Analects of Confucius: Scroll Sixteen
Maybe 40 years ago toward the end of the CB fad (CB was kinda the boomer generations version of the current social media fad) vacuum tube medium to high power external amps were (and still are) a thing for ham radio use and toward the higher end of the HF frequency range they struggled to achieve 10 dB of gain, at least with simpler designs and cheaper tubes, so stick a simple low pass filter in the input that rolls off to 10 dB of loss by 11 meters and you've ruined the amp for illegal CB use while all a technically knowledgeable ham has to do to operate legally on the ham 10 meter band is short the low pass filter out with a piece of wire. It depends a bit on your filter topology, blocking the input can be shorted as per above, whereas filter elements shorting to ground you'd have to snip one wire. Usually the advertisements in the magazines would mention obtusely "snip one wire for full legal coverage" or "solder one wire for reversible full legal coverage".
Is the view on smaller marriages changing with the generations?

I had 8 guests at my marriage and reception (France, 1995). It was purely by choice (no money constraints involved) and while the parents were a bit surprised, their opinion is that it was our marriage, not theirs.

This is unusual but when I mention that people are either indifferent or curious. Nobody takes this as "socially degrading" (for lack of a better expression)
I have found one working enterprise use case.

UWP is great if you are exclusively deploying to brand new Windows 10 Embedded devices. (I think this is now called "Windows IoT Core" or something similar). That's what I've been using it for, and that's worked well. It carries a nice side benefit that our sales team all has Windows 10 Pro laptops, and UWP 'just works' there too for sales demos, presentations, and such.

But I agree, selling UWP apps to businesses for traditional desktop use is ridiculously difficult.

> I don't see in what way UWP is better than WPF.

For a long time, UWP was the only way to get a working WebView (one based off of Edge instead of IE). But I think they fixed that and backported Edge to WPF a few months ago. (EDIT: they did kind of fix that - https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2018/05/09/modern-webvie... )
As mentioned in my comment, I'm aware that tracking protection uses a domain block list. (I edited it about a minute after posting to make that more clear.) I did do some research, I just didn't link to it because the comment was getting too long.

I don't think a basic technical understanding is good enough to know how it plays out in practice. Computers are complicated, humans are complicated, organizations are complicated, and I've seen many cases where people jump to unfair conclusions because they oversimplified a situation. I think that hearing from people with experience (e.g. people who have worked at a company like CBS or people who worked on Firefox's tracking protection feature or something similar) is much more likely to lead to an accurate understanding of the situation than trying to work off of assumptions.
> Or create a shortener for Lat/long if the long decimal numbers are too unwieldy for humans?

> It wouldn't really be a 'new' border though

No, I meant "new" as in, "it wasn't there last year" :) I'm old enough to remember the border, and "the troubles" too.

I also believe the removal of the border was a large factor in the cessation of hostilities, and the reason it's such a hot topic now.

> With over 200 border crossing points it wasn't 100% enforced, though.

My uncle used to have a house (he described it as such, to call it a shack would have been generous) in the south of France close to the Spanish border. Before freedom of movement they used to just walk into Spain as and when they pleased.
I just want to show my appreciation to HACKINVADE (HACKINVADE@GMAIL.COM, 206-946-9152) as promised for helping me fix my credit report.

After he finished working on my report in no time, my credit score increased to 780, all the negative items on my report were deleted permanently and he added good stuffs (Mortgage tradelines, Installment tradelines, Revolving credit cards and Auto tradelines) on my report, I got the mortgage and I’m very happy.You can contact him for similar help because he is reliable and efficient in his job.

> For over a century, real, existing Communism has been Marxism-Leninism

In what way? There has been dozens of ideological factions calling themselves "Communists" like various types of anarchists, left-communists, Orthodox Marxists etc. More importantly, there was academic Marxism which wasn't revolutionary in its intention, which affected dozens of fields including history and sociology, and had factions too (e.g. Frankfurt School)

> And then the Communists came to power

The rest of your comment makes sense to me but I still want to be cautious to make such claims. In a Marxist sense ideological Communists weren't communists as communists can only be members of the working class willing to rise up against the bourgeoisie. The difference is the category: the Communists who came to power had ideological intentions and not material intentions whereas communism is a by-definition material concept. I believe it's true that maybe parts of Russian revolution started out as a communist revolution but, as you said, given the economic structure of the country (not highly developed) communism was already dead by the time revolution was over. And we can talk endlessly for hours whether Lenin was a good communist or an asshole; but this is irrelevant because communism (just like capitalism) is never about single persons but about classes. When the Russian Revolution started being more about Lenin and less about the people, it was already not communist regardless of the "ideology" of Lenin. Given the history, and how "Communist" is liberally used to attack Marx, it's intellectual laziness or intellectual dishonesty to mention USSR, China or other supposedly "Communist" countries to make an argument about Marx. I read the entire corpus of Marx and he very rarely talks about implementations, and oftentimes they're his very early work (like the Manifesto) or when he's critiquing other ideas on implementation (like the Critique of Gotha's Program). Given all these issues I have, I almost never find a good rational discussion about Marxism on the internet, not in HN, not on "socialist" sites like r/socialism, r/communism etc... It's always entirely about the ideology which is something Marx tried to criticise his whole life. It feels like when teenagers "discuss" Nietzsche and they think he's a nihilist when Nietzsche spent his entire life attacking nihilism.
Why are programming environments still so primitive?
