Well, by thorough I simply meant not skipping any part. And those horrible parts of scriptures from religions originating from middle east (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) really cannot be sensibly interpreted in any metaphoric way unless by skipping it. A common way to do it is by saying "this is very specific code that was only relevant in societies back then; we're wise to not follow it now". But that's just skipping with extra steps.

Edit: just to make sure it's clear - I'm very happy when such skipping happens. A quote from Captive Mind by Czeslaw Milosz:

> When someone is honestly 55% right, that’s very good and there’s no use wrangling. And if someone is 60% right, it’s wonderful, it’s great luck, and let him thank God. But what’s to be said about 75% right? Wise people say this is suspicious. Well, and what about 100% right? Whoever say he’s 100% right is a fanatic, a thug, and the worst kind of rascal.

If you are concerned with security over defeating regions for viewing video I would recommend that you roll your own. The reason is trust. You trust your home lan I presume. How can you be sure there aren’t the same kind of bad actors in the exit point of a third party vpn that could also be at a coffee shop or airport? There really is no way to be sure.

If your not too technically savvy some premium home routers have a vpn in them. Just be sure it’s up to date with the latest firmwares. There are some older vpns that are really very vulnerable. It’s a sensitive issue. You want to guard the vpn because it’s a door to your entire lan.
I bought my domain through domains.google.com though, lol

Though, my nameservers are on bluehost. My biggest issue is figuring out other aspects of google-tied-ness. For example, everyone has my @gmail email right now. Websites, newsletters, contacts, everybody. Untying that will take a while. Also, I use Inbox for organizing my mail, and I like that a lot. I need to figure out a way to get similar functionality while using a me@example.com domain... either forwarding or something... but then how do I send mail FROM me@example.com?

Mail stuff is so obscure to me, I'd love to sit down and learn it sometime but there's always something "more pressing" for a work project or whatever for me to learn.

EDIT: So, I decided to give it another go. Seems impossible through Inbox, but through gmail I found a thing under settings to "add another email address I own" that lets me input manually the SMTP information that bluehost shows for my email. Might be working, who knows. I'm stuck waiting for google's "verify" email to turn up in my bluehost web inbox.
I switched to Google Fi from Verizon last month. I tested it in the Bay Area, Southern California and Florida. The service quality sucked unimaginably. I literally had to use my iPhone like an antenna in the office in San Francisco to have a phone call. The internet sucked badly as well.

I switched back to Verizon and Google Fi made me feel thankful to have Verizon.
No, because if a scooter is just left lying around on the street it is abandoned property and so generally there is no law against taking it.

Which is the same problem that Bird is facing--in cities where they aren't actually permitted by the appropriate authority (city, county, etc.), Birds are abandoned property. In cities where they have been granted a permit to conduct business activities, the question is more nebulous, but thus far DAs are decisively on the side of not treating it as a crime.

Rails, or in other words Web MVC is the most copied paradigm I’ve seen. Pick almost any modern language and there will be an MVC web stack for it.

I’d pick Node JS given that most web devs end up having to use Node anyway even if just as a build pipeline. Knowing Node better will always be useful. Also the dynamic typing will feel at home for a Ruby dev, and if you want to use types then try Typescript. If you want to go functional there is Purescript, Reason etc. All compile to JS so you can use on Node.

The cars parked across the sidewalk are individuals parking their car at home. Bird scooters littering the sidewalks is a business model. How do you not understand the difference?
I think it is way to easy to assume our places and cultures that we're familiar with will be comfortable or appreciated by others.

I met a former Amish person who left that way of life once. One of their biggest challenges was explaining to others that because they chose not to be Amish ... doesn't mean they want to be like <insert the given person's preferred culture and lifestyle> or that they would approve of it or like it.

That's a very lonely place to be.

Came here to echo the drop in service quality complaint. I joined Fi in the early days. The first time I called in it was about some rather complex (to me) networking issues where the phone was rejecting a WiFi direct connection because it couldn't detect internet service on the other side or some such. I could swear I was talking to a network engineer - he was super helpful and very technical. And that was the guy who just picked up the phone, no escalation needed!

Fast forward a few years and I had a minor question about a special promo they were running, connected to an offshore support team with broken English and copy/paste template responses that may as well have come from a chatbot.
Pollution taxes can only work for post-industrial countries that are able to run on mostly service industry and import everything that requires manufacturing. As thus, they would be fine for most European countries but crappy for industrializing countries like India.

>There is nothing inherently just or equal about coming with guns to people and taking a percentage of their earned resources.

There's nothing just about people believing they "earned" those resources by their hard work alone, and not understanding that there were huge infrastructure costs that enabled them not just to do the work and earn money, but even to stay alive -- and that they have to pay to sustain it.

From the roads their cars (and they suppliers and customers cars) drive on, to the airports, to the government funded internet (from the research of ARPANET, to CERN (www), to the trillions spent subsidizing telcos), to the primary schools and high schools they went to, to the fire department that helps them to avoid burning when their houses catch fire, from the FDA and relevant law enforcement that helps them avoid dying from the first crook wanting to sell crap as food or medicine, to the contract laws and their enforcement that help them stay in business, to the criminal laws and their enforcement that protect them from being at the mercy of anyone who'd fancy killing them, from the military that prevents them from being the subjects or prisoners or sex slaves of some foreign power that wanted to expand, and on and on...

It would only be _just_ their "earned resources" if they made them in the jungle, hunting or growing their food alone.
This is a very strangely written article, like something churned out by an SEO mill.

It half-way alludes to - and then shies away from - a bunch of potentially interesting things, then wildly changes direction in the last paragraph and ends abruptly. I wonder if the person who wrote it has ever even visited London? Most of it seems to be a near-direct lift form the Wikipedia article on the City of London.
I don't think your opinion is very informed. We're just now starting to discover and understand the consequences of launching and landing so many rockets per year. This part would not hold up to the scale at which mining is done.

To quote some guy, "You go to war with the army you have."

With the exception of the atomic bomb, it's hard to think of a technological innovation developed during wartime, diverting resources from traditional combat tech, that changed the outcome of the war significantly.

What one has to remember, though, is that Germany was significantly more resource constrained than the Allied powers. Resources are not always fungible. If you have a shortage of steel and manpower, and a relative glut of engineering talent, it behooves you to invest heavily in R&D to use that steel as efficiently as possible and equip those men as well as possible.

In some ways, Germany was doomed the day America entered the war to be ground between the gears of superior industrial powers. They had to claw for some doctrinal or technological advantage, however remote the possibility, because the outcome of trading losses at a 1:1 ratio was absolutely obvious.

Please, show me a list of self-sustaining open source projects that cover developer time and administrative overhead just in donations.

The only one I can think of right now would be Font Awesome 5 (via Kickstarter), which already was a very popular product with big name recognition and had a professionally run Kickstarter.

Pretty much ever open source project only survives because developers donate their own time, or companies allow their developers to do so.
You make lots of very good points. However, I think a glaring assumption you are making with cows is that all milk in the world is fully ranch raised. From my understanding, the vast majority of the world’s “commodity soy” you describe is actually fed to cattle/other animals for either beef or milk production. Often, at least what I have seen is that soy milk in super markets is labeled “organic”/non-GMO which directly implies that it is a different breed of soy, separate from the commodity soy used as feed.

When factoring that only a portion of the worlds milk is fully “ranch raised” - there is strength in the case for soy milk over cows milk.
> Let's say a (regular) scooter or even bicycle has been sitting on the sidewalk for a couple of days. Is it illegal for me to consider it abandoned and just take it?

In California, if you find it and choose to take charge of it, you become a depositary for the legal owner. Additionally, if it is worth $100+, and you can't locate and return it to the owner within a reasonable period, you are required to turn it into the police or sheriff depending on the jurisdiction in which it was found. It may become yours if the owner doesn't claim it from the police/sheriff within 90 days, with some additional requirements if it is worth more than $250.

If it was intentionally abandoned by the owner this doesn't apply.

EDIT: Source, Civil Code § 2080 et seq..
In the US, at least, what constitutes "abandoned" property differs from state to state and even within the states at the county/municipality level.

If Bird leaves a scooter in the road, for someone else to use, they have relinquished the right to control the device, and it is thus abandoned; the alternative is that they are deliberately littering or committing various other property infractions or misdemeanors.

I'm too young for those calculators, unfortunately. But I did pick up a SwissMicros DM42 a while ago. I love it, but I haven't had enough time to properly play with it.
> I hate those scooters. Went running with some friends in San Jose a few days ago and they were scattered all over the sidewalks. A real hazard for pedestrians.

I'm sure you can walk around them. Calling them "real hazards" is stretching things to a ridiculous level. Yes they're messy, but they're not hazards.

Curious to know what lessons you learned. I've had an Airport Express since they became available, and they've been about the only Apple product that I can basically forget about since it always works.

My AE/ATV combo is connected to a 2.1 setup which allows streaming of anything with or without the TV turned on. I'm bummed Apple dropped support for their Airport line, but the one I currently have will be fine for a very long time — Thanks in no small part for supporting a 3.5mm jack.
I really don't like arguments that lose nuance. I appreciate you bringing and pointing out some here.

The study most people quote has a huge variation in CO2 based on farming practices. It also doesn't compare eating seasonally appropriate foods vs out of season foods. I think it's an over simplification of a problem to push an agenda.

Edit: I was trying to hold it in, but I couldn't so here's the rant.

For that matter, we really need to pull out our CO2 calculators and add up kids, dogs, cars, insulation, houses, etc. Let's see what your CO2 budget can be.

I get that we need to work toward reducing CO2 footprint, but how many of us are willing to tell others they should cut the way WE want them to cut rather than giving them options. The Vegan agenda is 2 fold. If you eat meat, your bad for eating animals and now for not believing in global warming enough.

No, I believe in global warming, I just prefer to take a bus and try to eat humanely grown meat that has a lower impact. But that's me, and if you go vegan and decide you don't want to ride the bus, that's ok. Do what you can.

> My take: Migration out of California has increased, but it's not clear why. My personal guess would be cost of living.

Understanding "why" also requires looking at where people are migrating to and why. Quite possible that the destination affects the numbers, especially if it's consistently a common destination, more than the source.
Hasn't the standardized shipping container (ie, one container size) over trains also killing the need for train ferries?

So migrating from one standard (tracks) to another (container) that encapsulates the previous one?
Exactly, it's the same with unshielded microwaves, and it's astonishing that someone would think it's safe to crank the power on these lasers with that justification.

> When injury from exposure to microwaves occurs, it usually results from dielectric heating induced in the body. Exposure to microwave radiation can produce cataracts by this mechanism,[28] because the microwave heating denatures proteins in the crystalline lens of the eye (in the same way that heat turns egg whites white and opaque). The lens and cornea of the eye are especially vulnerable because they contain no blood vessels that can carry away heat.

We homeschooled our kids (for the most part). Whenever we worried about socialization, we grabbed our kids, dragged them into the bathroom, and beat them up for their lunch money.

Just kidding. But the point is, socialization in public school can be pretty awful, even violent. If your kid is the introvert, the less physically developed, and/or the less popular, socialization may not be a net win for your kid. And homeschoolers do get socialization - just not with kids. Instead, they're talking to grownups at the library or the grocery store while other kids are in class. They (often) come out more socialized to the adult world but less socialized to their peers.

Anyway: I'm not going to tell you that one way or the other is the right way. I'll just say that, as a parent, it's your responsibility. You can send them to public school, or private school, or a charter school. You can homeschool, which may or may not look like unschooling. Whatever you do, though, pay attention to how it's working out for your kid. If it's working out badly, do something else. (We switched to homeschooling from a very good private school when our daughter said that every day, when she was getting ready for school, her stomach hurt. That told us enough to know that, no matter how good a school it was, it wasn't good for her.)

Yes, you probably can, if you have the intention to eventually return it to them. After all, Bird left them lying around on public property for others to use.

So long as you don't attempt to claim the scooter as your own (i.e., sell it), you're probably fine.

At any rate, no DA is willing to prosecute someone over this. They have more important things to do with their time and resources.
I recommend anyone who likes Gmail to use your own domain name@example.com and just forward all messages to your Gmail address. Only give out your own example.com email and set it as the reply to.

Even the cheap budget registrars offer email forwarding for free and I have never had any trouble.

This gives you the benefits of free Gmail without handing your entire life over to them. At least with a tld there is some due process and rules to protect you.

This is a fantastic first choice, particularly as it sets you up for using a more "real" database for sharing data/scaling in the future.

OTOH, you have to know when no to use it and step up (down?) to something that is text editor hack-able (XML!?) or has barn burner I/O abilities (yah actually just dumping raw buffers with regularized binary data to disk). Or for that matter is used to exchange data with other apps with other services (JSON, and the long list of other data dependent formats, although for at rest exchange I have to point at XML again).
You don't have to imagine. I gave a clear example: DAU statistics for a VR browser. Or you could look at basically any successful technology, look at it on the way up, and ask what the early signs were that it was seeing significant use beyond novelty purchase. (That is in Moore's model getting out of the "innovator/techie" market segment and into pragmatic use.)

For literally my entire adult life people have been talking about VR as the coming big thing. I'm 100% over hearing about that, especially in response to very specific questions about actual use.

Very different. With other bicyle's or strollers, you have the presumption of private ownership--that someone else owns them, was using them, and intends to keep using them without interruption of their ability to do so.

But Birds, Jumps, et al, have deliberately left their scooters in public spaces for others to use. And that makes all the difference, legally.

The book "The Final Hours of Portal 2" has a section where they explained how much pressure they felt to try and have Portal 2 live up to Portal 1. Even effectively shutting down development of of other games for 2 months so the whole company could focus on prototyping experiments for new gameplay concepts that could be incorporated into Portal 2.

I would not be surprised of the pressure they feel for Half-Life 3 to be great is an order of magnitude greater than what they felt with Portal 2
