DuckDuckGo is hardly a competitor to Google. I struggle to think of some future scenario where Alphabet looks back and thinks "Damn, we never should have given DDG that domain name, it was all down hill from there!". No antitrust investigation is going to believe that this small action makes any difference to Google's total dominance of search.

> - Name a 10 year war democrats have championed

Every democrat except one voted in favor of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists. To be fair, just because 99.5% of them voted in favor of something doesn't mean they championed it, although Obama did use the AUMF to justify the US's continued presence in Afghanistan and Iraq. As well as expanding military activities in Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Turkey, Libya, Djibouti, etc.

We're already growing more calories per acre than any time in history, by a large margin. Mostly doing the very agricultural practices you decry, the ones that are "destroying the planet". That's one reason the population has grown so rapidly - famine is no longer keeping it in check.

"The last shreds of wilderness" is an absurd hyperbole. There's still a lot of wilderness left, and I think we're approaching maximum land under cultivation. (checks google) As a matter of fact... in 1970, 4.48B hectares were cultivated. in 2008, it was 4.83B, a <10% increase over almost 40 years and a near-doubling of the population. What happened? Incredible increases in yield starting post-WWII, greatly increasing the amount of food per acre.

So where does this leave the original study? Does it assume there will be no improvement in yield? Is farming more land the only solution being tried? Obviously not. What they're breathlessly recommending is exactly what we've been doing for over half a century now (really, about two centuries) - improving yield.

They're not that similar. Buran has no launch engine; it's lifted entirely by the booster group. Buran's heat tiles are a better design than NASA's; they're not as fragile. Buran was capable of unmanned operation; the only flight, which was successful, was unmanned. Buran also was going to have a turbojet in the tail to help with landing; NASA's shuttle landed as a glider.

The wings are almost identical, which is why it looks like a copy.

I'd argue they didn't really lose half their value, they lost half their stock price. This may seem like a distinction without a difference, but remember stock price isn't really THE value, it's a valuation, and in this case that valuation was inflated, incorrect. Their value is still there, it doesn't appear that they lost any significant market share, and in fact there's plenty of growth to be had in emerging AI and autonomous driving applications in the long term.

Funny enough it does work the same in German and I never lexicalized "erst in der letzten Minute" (only in the last minute) as from "das erste mal" (the first time) and "erstmals" (first-time-ly). Figures that "only" is really "one-ly", but maybe compares to Ger. "ohne" (without), Norse "on" ... English "on" (without). Amazing.

> [only:] From Middle English oonly, onli, onlych, onelich, anely, from Old English ānlīċ, ǣnlīċ (“like; similar; equal”), from Proto-Germanic ainalīkaz, equivalent to one +‎ -ly. Cognate with obsolete Dutch eenlijk, German ähnlich (“similar”), Old Norse álíkr, Swedish enlig (“unified”).

In light of the sentence in question, I wonder how "ähnlich" (similar) compares to "endlich" (finally, surface analysis "end-ly", "ending") historically: The ship finally manouvers in the last minute. Which gives a different tone with opposite meaning.

Given the gloss 'similar' for "only", try "like": The ship, like, maneouvers in the last minute. ... Not quite the same. in fact OE "aenlic" is explainable as 'unlike', too. It has separate meanings. Nevertheless, Ger. "gleich" comes full circle, as it means 'alike' or 'first of all, now, soon', somewhat like 'just' (just the same, just do it), i.e. in "angleichen" (adjust), or German "just in diesem Moment", though this is closer to "gerade" (straight), "gerade in diesem Moment".

And to be clear, the local businesses would benefit from tourists staying in real hotels just as much, if not more, than the ones staying in AirBnBs, because such tourists are more likely to dine out and do things around town.

But restaurants dislike tourists because most tourists tip less than Americans, so a high concentration of these "mini-hotels" is detrimental to restaurants and their staff.
It's crazy that the government never decided to put these into a museum or sell them to an American museum. I think any of the several air and space museum's in America would be absolutely thrilled to purchase one of these and show it off.

What? I don't think the majority of people interested in lisp are going into work looking down their noses at people. They're probably mostly people who like to try different tools and learn new things. I don't use lisp but I loved reading through PG's ANSI Common Lisp book because it really challenged me to think about programming and problem solving in a way I never had before. I think I write better code because I did learn lisp.

This is to UX/IxD literature what „just add water“ meals are to cooking. A collection of patterns you can copy. To really make it worth while you‘d have to look behind the presented patterns and ask why they work (and when they won‘t). This, you can also do by looking at real products in the wild.

She will not succeed in making the system more human centered or friendly. She will succeed in changing the ROI of dealing with advertising to mothers of stillborn children, as another poster stated, by creating negative PR. Those are not equivalent.

You are exactly the person I'm trying to influence by reminding you that these systems care about revenue, not you or your well being.

These facts may be well known, but you are certainly not considering them when choosing your language. You are letting an amoral entity into your very personal life for dubious reasons and expecting it do be "friendly to humans," when they are designed to be friendly to shareholders wallets. It will be exactly as "friendly" as it needs to be, no more. And, if shareholders decide the cost of being friendly is greater than the benefit, then the "friendly" feature will be turned off.

Missiles arguably already have AI. It is a source of mild frustration for control systems engineers to note AI researchers "discovering" techniques and algorithms that are mathematically identical, or very similar to, things that have been known and used in control systems for years, decades even.
> Similarly, one could make a case against the contributions of someone who pays a lot in taxes because they own a business that harms the environment or has other negative externalities.

I think there's a strong case to be made that one of the most fundamental justifications for taxes is to cover the cost of negative externalities.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, I completely agree. This is absolutely something that I think should be in core.

There are some features that are rightly being removed from core in favour of being served by an extension (Container Tabs is a great example—one of my favourite and most-used features personally, but I prefer it in an extension for a few reasons). Better tab management is the opposite: this is something Firefox should work on getting right out of the box.

I get that unless/until it makes it into core, we need good, working, popular extensions to bridge the gap, and perhaps to convince core devs there's an audience, but that's no reason to stop asking for it.

Would also recommend people trial Vivaldi, or even Opera 12 (probably still downloadable from somewhere out there) to try out the general UI concept.

I think healthy, fair competition is not antisocial or dysfunctional at all. Where it gets dysfunctional is people doing all the lying cheating and backstabbing to get the prize. But this is inevitable when you have people of different levels fighting for a rare resource. It takes a strong company culture to keep things functional.

The other challenge here is that many times star performers are coddled and given leeway to act in antisocial ways, out of fear of losing them to a competitor. This leads to their behavior being viewed as normal and emulated by others. Left unchecked eventually the whole thing devolves into, well, most of corporate America and an increasing percentage of startup offices.

This sort of "lispers are hipsters", "haskellers are hipsters" comments are very destructive to our community yet I see them in every single lisp thread. Very unfortunate. I only wish this will stop one day.
Unfortunately on mobile you can only use the date ranges that Google suggests (last hour, day, week, month, or year). Which is unfortunate since half the time I want to filter by date it's so I can exclude recent results.

Taxi licensing was not cronyism, it was simple economics. Taxicabs can either have x drivers all at a subsistence level, or 0.5x drivers with a reasonable standard of living. Licensing with a cap and fixed rates becomes a policy decision driven by the public interest.
Taking notes with Standard Notes
Anti-SLAPP law in California is not limited to frivolous lawsuits...

The whole point of the Anti-SLAPP statutes is to discourage companies from using lawsuits to "deter future misconduct." It provides, at a minimum, that the company pay all the defendant's legal costs and the complete dismissal of the company's case with prejudice (which usually means all of the related claims filed in the same lawsuit, though on rare occasions the company may be allowed to split off those claims into a separate case).

This is true only if the law interpreted by the court has a definition of "voluntary" that is 100% congruent with what other people mean. Given that even today people mean different things by that, your point makes no sense. And as I said, it's manifestly untrue that historical laws forbid contracts that match any modern definition of voluntary.
This is a lovely article, and I feel there's a lifetime of lessons to be learned from any colony behaviour. I've recently submitted a thesis on a swarm intelligence algorithm which exhibits some of these qualities, and the parallels between the two was a core component of the contribution.

This effect, where something is globally stable, even though all the individuals that make it happen are unstable is sometimes described as "a forest whose contours remain the same, as the trees all change".

Consider this algorithm for an ant colony foraging for a good source of food (this behaviour has also been observed in ants searching for a new nest site):

for each ant in the swarm
if the ant is unhappy
run to a random ant
if the random ant is happy
follow it to its location
if the random ant is unhappy
select a location at random
if the ant is happy
the ant continues to search its current location

for each ant in the swarm
the ant searches a tiny of its location, at random
if the ant finds food
the ant becomes happy
if the ant doesn't find food
the ant becomes unhappy

If you run this algorithm you will find a "clusters" of ants form, which is a number of ants who share the same foraging location. Importantly, and this is mathematically proven, the largest cluster will form in the location with the best probability for finding food. This algorithm works even when the locations change over time and, as in the article, even when the ants which found the location are replaced with ants who have simply followed other ants to get there.

The aspect which captured my attention is that there are tiny changes to individual lines of the algorithm which implement diverse behaviours such as hill climbing, optimise for exploitation or exploration, and global optimisation.

The algorithm is called Stochastic Diffusion Search and I'm in the process of polishing a Python library which implements it and its many variants for a Show HN :) The repo is here https://github.com/AndrewOwenMartin/sds some info and an explanatory animation here http://www.aomartin.co.uk/sds-animation/ and an beta version is already on PyPi here https://pypi.org/project/sds/.

Contact me (email address on my profile) if you're interested in using this algorithm or contributing to the library, it needs snappy C implementations, and a better explanatory animation!

The AI market could also falter if the use of TPUs becomes more common and other players, like AWS get in on it.
The AT prefix is to get the ATtention of the /serial/ device, which modems almost always are in some respect.

I don't know how much low level serial protocol programming you have done, but in my experience, there is possibility of random line noise, and such. This is why generally these low level protocols have both PREFIX and POSTFIX for commands.

In the case of Hayes commands for modems, the prefix is AT, and the postfix is carriage return and line feed.
