I think the important difference is in the case of a drone, you're dealing with the possibility that it's going to get sucked into a jet engine (which by multi-engine standards should still be "safe"). Therefore the solution can't be worse than the problem and firing off missiles (which may fail and not self destruct correctly) or guns is a bit of an over-reaction. In the case of a military SAM engagement, you go into the scenario with the assumption that the aircraft you're shooting down is going to do far more damage than it could if it crashes in an uncontrolled manner so it's ok if a SAM misfires and blows up an apartment or the target crashes into a school building because that's a better outcome than a nuclear weapon being released, a strategic target being struck or another 9/11 happening.

Now, that's not to say that the equation wouldn't change if there was a realistic threat that someone would mount explosives on a drone and deliberately try to bring an airliner down but for once we can be thankful for the nature of reactionary policy; we can get away with being reactionary here.

Edit: to go on a bit of a tangent, I think the best path forward at this point is to have a system that can detect and locate fast moving radio emitters within the perimeter of an airport that don't correspond with an ADS-B target. Such a system might allow you to track the target and attempt to figure out where it came from.
Note that Target stores have always been entirely owned by Dayton's department stores. Some years back they realized the department store was much smaller and changed the company name to Target but there was never a big shift, just lots of little shifts that turned the department store into the discount retailer.

I need more veggies in my diet but it's hard to get enough without cooking.

Even if you're unwilling or unable to cook, there are plenty of vegetables that are still delicious and nutritious raw. I suggest baby carrots, tomatoes, avocado, and peppers. If you're willing to microwave, there are a whole host of "microwave in bag" options as well...
Case transformations are locale-dependent. That is, in French lower case of "I" would be "i", and upper case of "i" would be "I". In Turkish, which uses largely the same letters, lower case of "I" would be "ı", and upper case of "i" would be "İ". Also, in German, upper case of "s" is "S", but upper case of "ß" would be "SS", and you have to guess what lower case of "SS" would be.

Universal case insensitivity is hard if not impossible. It's best to preserve both a "canonical case" version and the raw data in a search index, if different.

The responsibility is on the airport to confirm sightings.

The responsibility on the police is to confirm sightings before arresting people for flying drones over the airport (the police arrested a couple for flying drones over Gatwick when there was no evidence of drones over Gatwick).

The lawmakers should support their power grab with evidence but they are more interested in grabbing power.

The market being flooded with poor talent may even make it worse than it being flooded with good talent. Companies now need to invest a lot more time filtering out the people who can't code to hire junior candidates. Instead companies may just decide they will invest that money in the salaries for mid-level and senior engineers instead of time spent hiring juniors.

Typically these are added to sushi packaged in disposable plastic trays. This makes the ‘grass’ a tiny percentage of the plastic used in the meal.

The article seems to convey that plastic is considered inferior to vegetable matter for this. It is cheaper, which actually suggests less resource consumption. Plenty of plastic and other resources (petroleum itself) would be expended to provide lettuce or bamboo for this instead of PET, with even less efficiency since it’s perishable. It would be worth comparing whether it would save resources.

Another option would be to redesign the container to reduce any need for a separator. A new design could end up using just as much plastic as the current tray + the grass - who knows.
I agree it is really positive outcome. It suffers patent risk like a number of technologies that were slowed significantly in their early life (like encryption and digital cash).
How does that tiny sheet of plastic in a plastic box separate the smell of fish from the rice when, in sushi, the fish is stuck either right above or inside the rice itself?

All big companies I worked at so far suppress internal dissent. It's just the nature of the beast. Your boss doesn't want her boss look bad, and she also doesn't want to look bad herself come review/promo time. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are at stake. So all communication upward gets massaged with that in mind. By the time it gets through 5,6,7 layers of management "shit's bad" becomes "everything is awesome" even if the initial message gets out at all.
Why "no doubt"? What's your basis for that?

I'm no expert, but I expect land is different in different places. There are different sources of feed. Someone changes a supplier or a farming practice, and it changes a number in a spreadsheet, and you'll get a different answer.

Accounting gets complicated enough with money. When you're doing science it's much more difficult.

This sounds like the sort of thing that scientists and economists can debate for decades. I'm certainly not going to trust some unsourced numbers in a press release.
I have a question about the block chain aspect.

Does blogging need block chain? Can't you be decentralized and encrypted without BC? From what I'm aware, the benefit of BC is that you get an audit-able history. Do we need that here? Like I get that it can serve as a backup, but does that work in practice? By using BC here can I roll back my blog (like in git)? And do you really need a full history? Couldn't you do just like 10 revisions? I'd even argue that a complete history could be dangerous.

This is a fundamental question that I have with block chain. It seems really cool, but from what I understand, there are other tools that solve these problems, don't require as many resources, and work faster.

Am I wrong in this? If so can someone explain?

If I'm right, can someone expand?
I'd love to see --help start with a few examples of the most common use cases and the parameters you would use. Include the exhaustive list of parameters after that.

Seamless.com has had an option at check-out for as long as I can remember that says "I'm trying to save the environment, spare me the napkins and utensils." It's always up to the restaurant to "support" that option though.
Define "heavy." Right now I have react, material-ui and a handful of libraries in an application with an initial load (through main entry point) under 80k gzipped, and under 300k total load (1.6mb in memory, which includes app configuration data) when you navigate through to an area with graphs. This also includes SVG manipulation and image overlays.

In terms of what is being done, I'm far more judicious with removing unnecessary libraries. I've followed up other developers removing any number of modules in favor of hand-crafting from baseline modules. Since it's JSS it includes semi-dynamic styling that is based on async loaded modules. ex: if you don't go onto a chart/graph page, you don't get those modules.

It really depends on your tooling, knowledge and what your needs are. IMHO it's far better than typical jquery + bootstrap + bootstrap extensions that many of those who look down on client-side frameworks lean towards.
I would imagine the OP you're responding to was referring to the "drawings" of text, which look straight out of one of those kindergarten "write this letter 100 times to practice it" books.

I guess this depends on where we consider the line for "peaceful" to be. If the culture shifted enough where your views were in the minority, there's legislative action that can be taken criminalizing raising and harvesting of animals for food (in the US they just did this with dog and cats for example, with the latest farm bill).

Whether you agree or not, if your behavior is criminalized, the matter is settled (as a point of law at least).

To be fair, I don't know that violence against you (or others) would really convince you that these lives are valuable or not, just that you might value not being violently punished for acting on your beliefs.
well, except for one of the largest advertising and data collecting companies on the planet, that really really wants to know where you are right now.

I don't necessarily agree with that policy, however it does appear to be effective in cutting healthcare causes. In the US a large fraction of our healthcare expenses are due to chronic conditions related to obesity.
This is a nice story, but the problem is that in this case it's definitely not faster.

I've written a bit about this in regards to browserless.io: https://docs.browserless.io/blog/2018/08/01/running-an-indie... if you're curious. But in short:

1. Build something that you're an expert on, and know how to build it. You can't do it all, but knowing how to do most of it goes a long ways. Hire out for the rest.

2. Be intimately aware of what the product should be from the users standpoint. What does it do that no one else's does?

3. Prepare yourself for supporting the business and support issues. You can't "back out" or dodge anything, and you've got to be ready to be in the hot seat alongside your uses. I've been told a "volunteer" type mentality is what this is called.

4. Be emotionally ready for an absolute roller coaster. One day you can be on HN, and that same day you'll lose your #2 account. It, by all means, is an absolute emotional washing machine. Try and distance yourself from the product if you can.

5. If your boot-strapping yourself then your limitation/runway can be time. Time does have a value aspect to it, and if you're an engineer you can grossly underestimate how long something will take to build which it's effectively money lost.

There's so much that goes into it, and every business is so different that it's hard to capture what to do. You really have to _just do it_ because getting started and out is the hardest part. Everything else seems to fall into place after, assuming you don't close it or abandon it.

Good luck!
While the others who responded to you are correct, there is a chance that they wouldn't be able to prove that you owed the debt properly somehow.

I installed it a year or so back for testing, and I find it especially telling that you still have to download three independent disk images (compiler, GUI, extras).

Even sadder is the fact that instead of having a regular Mac app bundle, the installers spray things all over the filesystem. It’s defensible for the CLI tools, but hardly native.

Still, I look forward to final release - I just hope it has a better native look and feel than 1.8.

> I am watching the clock the whole time I'm using discretionary time

Set an alarm on repeat.

I used to obsess about missing things all the time. Once I started making sure I didn't have to worry about missing things, my time is that much freer.

I work from home. I have an alarm for 10 minutes before the start and end of work. An alarm for 10 minutes before lunch time (I eat with the family, my wife stays at home with the kids). Pretty much eliminates all clock watching.
I can't speak for all, but most vegan/vegetarians I know, myself included, don't view processed meat substitutes like this as a staple. They are expensive and seen as less healthy compared to less processed plant protein.

Meals more often revolve around beans, legumes, tofu, tempeh, seitan.
I think since many meat eaters are less familiar with cooking meals around these, they assume vegs are just subbing meat 1-to-1 with foods like Impossible Burger, Tofurkey, Quorn.

More often they are a food for convenience, special occasions like cookouts, specific recipes, or they happen to be the only option at a restaurant. Some I've known have used them as sort of an aid to transition to a plant based diet, if they happen to have cravings for meat.

However it's great to have more choices, and seeing brands like these in store gives more visibility to veg diets. (It's weird to me that this is the case, when the whole produce isle is vegan, but that's the way it is in a meat-by-default culture).
> Then again, i don't know any EU country where an accused can bail themselves out of jail till the court case.

Germany (1), UK (See Assange) I’d assume that most European Countries have a similar system. However, it’s comparatively rare that bail is set in Germany. If I follow the US bail reform debait correctly I get the impression that jail before trial (Untersuchungshaft) is comparatively rare in Germany and requires specific reasons (2) while it’s comparatively normal in the US.

Both might be contributing reasons why the bail system is not commercialized as in the US. Generally, the European Systems frown upon private law enforcement much more, that might be another reason for the nonexistence of bounty hunters.

A commonly voiced complaint about current VR gear is that it's too expensive for mainstream adoption. HTC doesn't have a Facebook backing it, so it can't just subsidize the hardware to build market share - unless it finds another revenue stream. The obvious candidate (see game console economics) is the complementary good [1]: VR software. Hence HTC Studios and Viveport.

‘Free’ plastic cutlery is being rolled into the price of the dinner, for one. Some people also pay for garbage disposal.

Then there is the ecological issue of using and disposing of cutlery and plates after one use. Why would the harm of that need to be explained in 2019? Most household waste in the US goes to landfills.

Another issue is personal health. Plastic is continually emitting tiny amounts of toxic chemicals and leaching plasticizers and other endocrine disrupters/suspected carcinogens into the air and anything it comes into contact with. This differs from the glass and ceramic dishes that I purchase for use at home.
Maybe they are setting themselves up for the eventual company buyout from WeChat?
YES! That's an excellent point too -- though I think this is where legacy retailers really lost out because I know my mom for example, was more comfortable giving her credit card to a known brand than some random website. My first order from Amazon was in 1997, when I was 14, and I did it using a gift card I got as a holiday gift from GeoCities (as thanks for being free tech support -- this truly is the most 1990s story ever), because my mom wouldn't hand over her credit card and I didn't get a Visa check card until I was 16.

In 1996, Mom had been screwed over by phone reps for CompuServe's attempt at a true ISP stealing her credit card to order shit from Tiger Direct (told you this was a 1990s story) and was leery about anything online for years after that (and Tiger Direct was technically a mail-order catalog but it had a website).

But you're right that eBay and Amazon were two of the earliest trusted, in part because they were the two biggest/first to market. (And also, both proved themselves to be trustworthy, which was important in the age of fly-by-night e-tailers).

The same is true for PayPal.

Well,

I like the taste of existing meat substitutes to be honest.

The problem I have is that I find meat substitutes hard to digest and meat seems to help my digestion regardless of taste.

As far as restaurants go, I'm not if the meat used by restaurants actually is better quality that supermarket ground beef. In my shallow exposure to restaurant food prep, I get the impression that restaurants in, say, the $8-12 burger range use the cheapest acceptable supplies and make it taste good with good equipment, sweat/salty/spicy recipes, and professional preparation. I think you need to go to Chez Panisse type restaurants before you get dishes where "the ingredients stand on their own" and there's a reason for that.
Are you really limited in vegan options that don't try to replicate non vegan textures and flavors? Where do you shop and eat? Do they not have a section for fruits and veggies? Do they not have dry goods like rice and beans?
IDK, the MIPS announcement was worrying to me. IIRC it's only open for 'MIPS Open Registered Companies', ie. it's open in that they're open to the idea of providing source to the normal customers they have, sort of like Microsoft has ways of giving companies, governments, and academia the Windows source.

The dude who bought MIPS is a sales guy who I don't really think understands open source.

It'd be awesome to be wrong about this though.
Here's what I made, but I'm keeping it stealth this month. I did make an editor/Converter, it's not great, but it makes ANSI's, and 256 colors as well. It's what I did with those ANSI's that's interesting - I stored them in the blockchain as non-fungible and created a neural network based off them. It's done, it's coming. Just don't want it all to come too fast.
But why would they put money into crypto? There is some reason to use crypto as a currency (anonymous transactions), but there is no particular reason to use it as a store of value (hard to comply with anti-money-laundering regulation, hard to protect from fraud, hard to pass through audit, etc)

Why would you rather pollute the environment with more thrown away plastic crap than spend 20 seconds by a sink to clean a fork? Even if you recycle the plastic fork (few people bother to, since the fork is already associated with food waste they throw it into the trash along with the food waste) the energy cost of recycling that plastic is still inexcusable when you could have avoided the entire thing by simply owning your own fork.
If you build a plain index over Unicode strings, chances are you're doing it wrong.

Normal DB indexes are mostly for numbers and (short) ASCII strings. (Something like canonicalized UTF-8 is an edge case.) For strings that have encodings and locales, you likely need a full-text index, provided by your DB or by something like Solr / ElasticSearch. It addresses the oddities of human-oriented texts better.
