>Dooring is not an issue here either since Dutch cyclists tend to anticipate very well.

Two points to this: Obviously (and you probably implied this but I want to make it clear:) it is first and foremost the duty of the car driver opening a door to make sure that there is nobody endangered.

Secondly: It is not always possible to anticipate car doors opening, even if you are following traffic very carefully. People sit in their cars for prolonged times without the engines on. It only takes one bad situation to kill a person. Therefore in my opinion all reasonable measures should be taken, including teaching people to open their car doors with the opposing hand. (Even better, as you mentioned: separate different kinds of traffic)
Absolutely. And the idea that he’s trying to convince us that as users we would like to support this “economy”, is preposterous. I want it to go away. If it needs ad revenue to exist, it’s very unlikely to be of value to me.

Not at all, I'm attempting to reflect the reality of life in Scotland as in my lived experience, as opposed to academic notions of language and identity.

There's no "but" at the end of my being a proud Scot. There is a debate about the validity of Scots as a unified language that's used in day to day life, and some romantic notions that we speak in some other language when "foreigners" aren't around.

The reality of Scotland is that in my opinion we're a diverse set of regions, not some unified mass that speaks a distinct language, that's not a lack of pride speaking that's a pride in exactly that diversity (also I don't want to be put in the same bucket as edinbuggers :)

Assuming from your profile that you're scottish, would You say that Edinburgh people spoke the same dialect as people from Glasgow. Would you say that we speak a different language to people in Carlisle or Newcastle?

> I don't drive in cities

A tiny proportion of any US metro area's real estate supports this lifestyle. Usually either the most expensive, or the most hurt by gentrification and displacement. It's not a generalizable strategy without huge changes in zoning, public housing finance, and public transit infrastructure. I think we should make those changes, I vote for every pro-housing candidate and every transportation funding measure, but they are prerequisites. You can't turn off the old system before the new one is ready.
> either change the topic or don't associate with them at all [...] this has just been my personal approach in life that's worked well so far.

This may work out for you, but it’s hard to judge how well it works out for the people you decide to stop associating with (especially in comparison to some counterfactual other approach), since presumably you don’t get much follow-up information about the outcome.

Disclaimer, I'm not an accountant but I can act like I know something about accounting :)

You have a multi-member LLC. Any money received as revenue, and any money spent as an expenditure, must/should be reported on the LLC's taxes. Some LLCs pay taxes as if it was an individual human, but since there three of you, I believe the LLC entity would be taxed first.

If you are receiving an income (w2 or 1099) from the LLC, then I believe you must pay taxes on that too, either in the USA or in your home country or possibly both if you are really unlucky.

If you aren't receiving an income from the LLC, then you personally are fine. You presumably would only be taxed if you sold your shares in the LLC to someone else.

Also, I think you might have to collect sales tax in some jurisdictions. It's pretty complicated, but the statistics show that you don'r get audited unless you are making over maybe 100k, or commit some seriously obvious fault like claiming 1 million USD in expenditures on food every year :)

No, it should return `False` because they're different types, as I said.

These are words from Norse, you will find often closer cognates in Norwegian, Swedish or Danish.

Not so. I worked on UPSERT for several years as a Salesforce employee, as well as quite a number of other things. I worked for Heroku, a Salesforce business unit, from 2013-2017.

I think the Allusionist is a really interesting podcast, and this episode was a great one. It brought back some early childhood memories of my time in Scotland (where I first learnt to speak), and also of the responses to my accent and vocabulary when we returned to Australia.
Also 'braw' in scots, or 'bra' in swedish, which both mean 'good'. Picked this up while watching The Bridge... there are others as well.
More interesting are the county responses:

Dallas County said it would follow the directive of the state and notify affected senders that they need to mail in a signature (without needing to resubmit entirely), even though they had already processed ~800 of the registrations as valid.

Travis County (Austin) responded to the Secretary of State that no– these are valid registrations, and counted them as such.

The bulk (>50%) of the registrations were in Austin, IIRC. Both of these counties are liberal strongholds in Texas. If Beto manages to win against Cruz by a margin of a couple thousand votes, I imagine the Cruz campaign will make this a much bigger issue than it is (and, imo, deservedly gain the title of trying to win by voter suppression).

Ha, lol..."nanobrews"...spot the hipster.

Picobrews are the latest thing: only one small shot glass is ever made. After consumption, the recipe, all utensils used to create the brew, and the shot glass itself are destroyed in an industrial oven. Oh, and the person who made it (and their close family) is exiled to a rain forest in Madagascar for ten years.

Microbrews, nanobrews...so conventional and corporate. I suppose they are an easy way in if you don't know much about beer and just want to copy your friends. Good for you.
You probably have the same problem I had, which is a slightly non-standard disk layout. Windows Update will fail without producing any meaningful diagnostics. It took me a lot of time and much effort to finally get past that and get my system working.

Things to check:

Are you UEFI booting an MBR disk? It works, but Windows Setup will fail in future upgrades.

Do you have all the correct and required partitions? If you don't have the right partitions (OEM, EFI) of the right size, Windows Setup will again fail with cryptic errors, none of which say "your partitions are wrong".
"To flit" is also standard English, although more specific than the Scots use. It suggests a very small thing moving or fluttering, like a bird or insect.
Also present in North East English, which can be just as far removed from the Queen's English as the Scottish dialect. "Bairn" and "hus" definitely, and also "gan" (to go), "yam" (home, norwegian "hjem").

If Scots is now considered a language, then Geordie surely must be. Here's a nice example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaydon_Races#Lyrics

It's a niche market so you need to be aggressive if you want it to be sustainable. You might consider zeroing in on that Business tier and see if you can quietly sell it to ~10 customers as beta users. That would give you a revenue stream to grow the rest of the business.

The cheapie accounts will be very low return / high maintenance. The real sustainability of the business is all going to be $100/mo and up (even that is too cheap).

last but not least, you might use this as an opportunity to build your personal social presence. Start tweeting/blogging your entrepreneurial journey. might consider starting a DevOps podcast, sponsored by your app.

First point, to separate concerns.

I am among the founders of Mozilla, and I'll speak only about what is public and happened or at least started while I was there:

1. We rejected 3rd party cookie blocking patches, three times. Safari has had a blocker from birth.

2. We got too dependent on Google revenue shares while Google turned from search (1st party ads) to full surveillance (1st and 3rd) superpower.

3. Tracking protection work that started while I was there was delayed for years, then allowed only in private tabs, then a pref was added. Now, after Safari and Brave have taken the lead, Mozilla is turning on tracking protection in some form by default (which is good).

The claim that Mozilla is the only organization users can truly trust for privacy is belied by these facts.
Hi, I am interested in working as a machine learning engineer / NLP engineer. I am currently enrolled in the Masters in Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and my interests lie in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
My extensive background in the field of AI should be of interest to Textio. I have undergone several different internships in the field of AI and they have equipped me with the knowledge to solve the complex problems that Textio is looking to solve. I am also working on building a cutting edge deep learning model to perform question answering as part of my thesis and this has been an extreme value add to my knowledge base. In a nutshell, I have the expertise to design and develop novel AI/deep learning models, something that Textio is looking for.
I will be happy to chat with you and delve deeper into my background.
> where is the check for voter eligibility?

Two things. In California they either mail you a ballot to your address. Or you have to present as a warm body at your polling place.

Beyond that California's politicians unlike Republican controlled states have no interest in preventing people from voting. For instance San Francisco recently began registering non-citizens to vote for the city's school board.
On top of that fee, they make money by hoarding the majority of the tokens. It's a scam, pure and simple. If I'm going to steal from publishers, I'm not going to pay any slimy middlemen like Eich.
> Erm, memory? You remember whether something has been introduced or not.

This doesn't work in English, because both speakers are not assumed to have the same knowledge of context. The "the"/"a" distinguishes between something that describes and something that also determines.

Alice: Did you see any of those movies?

Bob: I saw the good one.

In this sentence, Bob is saying that "good one" can be figured out from context. In other words, Bob is saying that there is only one good movie in "those movies". Alice may or may not be aware of this from context, but she has learned that Bob thinks that there is only one good movie in "those movies".

Bob: I saw a good one.

In this sentence, Bob is saying that "good one" describes the movie he saw, but he is not saying that this determines which one he saw. He is not making claims about context.

The cloud fight of 2019-2020: AWS vs GCP in the Kubernetes arena. Curious to see who's going to win, of if it's going to be a tie.

Jokes apart: GCP got a head start in containers thanks to Kubernetes; AWS realized it and tried to catch up. Dominating the space will have huge consequences down the road.

My humble view is that whoever starts a RedHat-like service (with support, and SLAs, and enterprise services) on top of Kubernetes, might get the upper hand. Having built Kubernetes might not be enough for GCP to maintain the lead.

I understood the “kill switch” to be a “warranty (i.e. AppleCare) void” switch more than a literal kill switch.

You can, with enough work, make any computer—even one that’s not from Apple—into a working Mac. But there’s no amount of effort you can go to that will make Apple suddenly decide to offer warranty coverage on your Hackintosh.

I imagine the point here would be to effectively treat computers cobbled together out of externally-sourced Apple compatible parts (i.e. parts where the computer doesn’t “know” it’s not a Mac) as equivalent to Hackintoshes from a warranty standpoint.

This is partially justified—as it stands, a repair shop can actually take 50% of the parts from a Mac, replace them with compatible parts, then build a new computer from the 50% of parts you took out and other compatible parts, and end up delivering two Macs that would both be considered to be under warranty. (Not that they have AppleCare registrations, but that they’re under legally madated first-year warranty coverage in many jurisdictions.) The software Apple has developed circumvents this problem.

You might not agree with it, and it might have some other negative consequences... but what other solution is there to this particular problem? (I mean, besides eating the repair costs of—and even assuming legal liability for!—these “faux” Macs.)
Second point: I don't have to convince anyone that ads are necessary to fund most of the visible web. They obviously are doing it, poorly, and if the hundreds of billions gross spend per annum globally (rising to a trillion in a few years) went away, many sites would shut down -- including newspapers and other homes for journalists.

You may not care; I care about some but not others so do not take this as me twisting your arm. But "I'm all right Jack" is a bad attitude in view of the fact that ad-funding is required for millions of sites today.

Relying on an uncomfortable behavior change is one option, but as many have noted - really a “reach”.

Why don’t we instead take the experience of cities that instead of trying to integrate cars and cyclists, integrated cyclists and pedestrians? Physics are more on your side here - a lot closer weight and size of objects. Possibly even closer speed differential.

On a recent trip to Munich, the clear markings and cyclists on a protected wide sidewalk made a lot more sense. With cars and bikes sharing the narrow city roads, doorings are only one problem. Even side view mirrors can be a hazzard.

It’s more costly to have wider side walks, but it’s so much safer!

Like fashion and law, spelling and pronounciation are a sign of status. It's not supposed to be easy. From another point of view, what does the state of the orthografy say about the authorities, are they lenient, chaotic ... speaking a different language?

School children are very low in the social hierarchy, of course, because they cannot defend themselves. Of course they are going to be oppressed when they note that there's no system behind and when they say it's too complicated they will be called lazy. The parents had to wade to shit, so they don't even notice the smell anymore, and now the children have to, too.

On the other hand, conservative orthography can help to learn the related languages (ie. French, Latin), serve as interesting step into history, exercise memory, and what not.

There could be no regular spelling. That's an illusory proposition, given the breadth of dialects that exist. So next you will require all the poor children to learn a new dialect, basically. Is that any better? It would be a loss of diversity, each one preserving a little bit of historic language development - and status. It's really a shame that status varies. Learning a language properly might give some stability.
