Except, they haven't found proof of water:

"But if there is water on the planet, geothermal heating could provide conditions for life in an otherwise inhospitable environment, the researchers add."

It's further noted later in the article that the environment would likely be that of Europa.

Supposition is that if liquid water exists, there could potentially be life.
> a "no deal" outcome, which is clearly bad, is still the best thing brexiters can actually deliver

I don't see the logic here. The deal (let's call it D), is clearly worse than staying in the EU (let's call that option E). From that relation D < E it does not follow that no-deal (N) is better than a deal, i.e. D < N. It may well be that N < D < E. So I don't see how no-deal is the "best the brexiteers can delliver."

How is "leave the EU" nebulous? There's nothing nebulous about it. The only thing that's nebulous, as Juncker said, is Theresa May with her faux-brexit deal.
Interesting. I've been meaning to look into the AOT compilation strategies at some point. I'll have to do some comparisons with the code I'm working with.
Python's type annotation syntax is mostly similar to TypeScript.

Each method is independent unless the class is a Generic[T].

You can define a recursive type by quoting the nested reference.

You can define a JSON type with recursive types.

You can create stubs. Some are in typeshed.[1]

Mypy recently added protocols to simplify defining callable types.

Python has always been slow to add new syntax. I think that's a good thing overall.

This is purely anecdotical. Short-term rentals exist mostly because of high hotel prices (well, and poor hotel service - but that is already covered by the high price, as 'high price' is a term relative to the quality of goods).

I always check prices on hotels and airbnb, and I mostly book airbnb. Because it is cheaper (even with fees and everything).

Not even fighter jets. When several years ago our BigCo implemented total Agile Scrum (only few super important super critical projects got exception) with the best consultants one can get for the money the result was exactly as could be easily predicted by applying basic system analysis to those methodologies - the projects halted to the screeching halts while people and organizations were spinning at FTL speeds with everything just burning around on contact. I've never seen such profound yet so easily predictable failures.

One magical day the consultants and all and any mentioning of agile, scrum, etc just disappeared like it never happened, just like a bad dream, and we woke up and smelling roses again...

Any meaningful progress on a project subjected to agile/scrum is possible only to the extent to which the project violates the agile/scrum process.

Of course you're very welcome to tell me that we weren't doing Agile/Scrum right...

No one has claimed that.

>but that doesn't make it an established thing

Nothing is ever established to the certainty for enough nitpickers. But when the majority of literature of experts leans in one direction, it's safe to bet that their majority opinion is most likely the truth. Sometimes that is overturned, but the majority of expert consensus opinions remain correct.

Do you think that making it hard to fire workers makes it more or less risky on the part of an employer to hire a new worker? If more risky, then how is this offset in hiring?

Employers and markets are not wholly stupid.
You speak as if the two questions being voted on are identical. They're not.

The first question was, should we Remain exactly as we are, or should we Leave in some totally unspecified fashion? The second question will be, should we Remain exactly as we are, or should we Leave in a no-deal hard exit, since that's the only possibility still on the table? It's no longer an abstract Leave, to which everyone can ascribe all their dreams and wishes; it's now a very specific Leave, with all the faults thereof. That may change the voting somewhat.

And, down the road, if there's another concrete Leave on the table, should the people have another referendum? Sure, why not? There probably won't be a need to vote on the negotiated Leave, though - losing by 230 votes in Parliament is probably enough. And there won't be any need to vote on a hard Brexit a second time, either - if it's voted on in a referendum, it will lose 65-35 or 70-30. (Or so I suspect, but what do I know? I'm not in the UK.)

I’m a bit concerned about how much data Google has on me and I do think Apple is genuinely more concerned about user privacy. But what’s the difference in practical terms really? Google uses my data to target ads at me but doesn’t actually give any of my data to its ad-buying customers. Apple doesn’t do this but is obliged to turn over my iCloud data to the government with a subpoena. Since this is really the scenario we should be most concerned about and since all tech companies are required to comply with the law it seems to me that the only way to have any meaningful online privacy is to not use cloud services from any vendor.
Unrelated to the contract itself but that's probably a couple more call to action buttons than needed.

Has this kid really completed his pre-college education at 9? I very much doubt that. Anyway, these days MOOC's and the like are a natural alternative to an actual, formal college environment, which is going to require a lot more "executive function" and self-guided, long-term personal development and planning than could be reasonably expected from even an exceptional 9-year-old.
Is a "commercial" company inconsistent with privacy?
The difference is if you want to build it yourself there is an infinite amount of documentation on how to do it freely available. I'm pretty sure if you started on google with "how do I make my own website" you would end up with something passable in a months time.

If you google "how do I write my own contract" you go down a rabbit hole of impossible to reconcile contradictions and absurdity.

This will kill the high end of the housing market in the U.K. as the cost of everything will go up. It will also help shore up some jobs that were exported to cheaper labor in the EU.

Sure, I am not disagreeing with you. Just pointing out that Apple is making data services work as a revenue stream just fine, without the privacy invasion. Your comment read a little bit like it was implying that Apple's privacy stance is only realistic because they are not making money on services, and if they were making money on services, they would start invading privacy.
What about agile says '2 week sprints'? It takes as long as it takes to do each step.
> The alternative isnfor the UK and ireland to simply refuse to enforcr a hard border

But that means Britain effectively has an open border with the EU (which Brexiters don't like, and probably some Remainers don't like in the context of Brexit though they are happy with it with UK a full member of the EU with a say in union policy), or has an internal border between NI and the rest of the UK (which pretty much no one in the UK likes.) The EU has a similar problem with Ireland where the UK has NI.

Which is why this issue is intractable; it internally has no good solution on either side, even before the difficulty of getting agreement between the sides. This is worse on the UK side, because of the interaction with the Good Friday Accords; it's not just abstract political displeasure, it's potentially undermining an internal peace agreement.
You swapped the order of method arguments though

you are doing x add Sy which isn't the same as Sy add x

> The other precedent is the ratification of the Maastricht treaty, where it was rejected by referendum in Denmark for example 50.7% vs 40.93% - so again very close - amended, and then passed - by a second referendum.

You call it a precedent, I'd call it an example of how undemocratic the EU is. The same situation came up with the treaty of nice and then again with the treaty of Lisbon when Ireland rejected them, the EU love making people vote until the get the "right" answer.

That's why they generally avoid letting people vote on it's continued expansion.
Your comment is highly misleading to the point that it is possibly the 'lie' you mean to make us wary of.

The evidence against your comment is in plain sight: a 'deal' is on the table right now, which some on 'both sides' just happen to not want for various reasons, but it could very well have passed.

The notion that there is only 'hard Brexit' or 'full EU' participation plainly not true, to even the most casual spectator, to imply such is an ugly, ideological misrepresentation of the facts, tantamount to the lie you're ostensibly loathing.

The 'deal' in place, which you suggest is 'the worst of both worlds' is plainly not. That the UK would be subject to EU rules during a period of negotiation is actually not very onerous. The UK was only one voice of a couple of dozen, to mostly lose that voice for 1-3 years is not a nation 'saddled with the EU' for any degree of time.

If the deal were to have been passed in Parliament - then some kind of trade negotiation would be worked out over the coming years, and then there'd be a fairly orderly Brexit: no UK in the EU, but some kind of 'decent trade deal' as some would want.

The EU has made things difficult in purpose, because they definitely don't want people thinking of leaving their club on purpose.

There is ample evidence of this, but I can point to one suitable clause in the current 'deal' in the table, which is that that the UK would not be able to exit the EU without permission of the EU itself, which is utterly unacceptable. It's a small but important clause, that should not be there.

This small clause has been enough to throw some Brexit Tories against the deal.

This small issue - in addition to the weirdly intractable problem of the 'Irish Border' and it's related backstop, is enough to make it 'hard'.

Without that clause, and without the Ireland border weirdness ... the deal in place would probably have passed.
When Google announced to their advertising customers that they were buying everyone's credit card data, that was my own personal bridge too far.

>Google has been able to track your location using Google Maps for a long time. Since 2014, it has used that information to provide advertisers with information on how often people visit their stores. But store visits aren’t purchases, so, as Google said in a blog post on its new service for marketers, it has partnered with “third parties” that give them access to 70 percent of all credit and debit card purchases.

Perhaps other search engines will reach this extreme level of creepy behavior in the future, but Google is there today.
Part of the reason the Eurozone's in the mess it is right now is that, for the most part, the EU didn't let the fact that the Euro was completely infeasible for particular countries get in the way of converting them over to it anyway. The UK wasn't the only country with similar problems, but others like Italy didn't opt out and are in a fine state now as a result. In that sense the British opt-out worked well for us.
Yes. It's often pretty easy to look at the query list and just whitelist some obvious domains though, rather than letting everything through temporarily.
How is free software a right? I'm not dismissing the value of free software, but considering it a right? If free software is a right, that diminishes the what "right" actually means. Freedom of speech is a right. The ability to defend oneself is a right. Privacy is a right. But free software? How does the map provider of DDG have any effect on a person's ability to use, create, or distribute free software?
Human hubris. If you're a federal lawmaker, and you know you make great laws, why wouldn't you want all 50 states to get the benefit of your wise decision-making?

In so far as the federal government can unilaterally expand its reach, it will tend to do so, if just because being part of the federal government makes you more likely to think things should be regulated at the federal level. The authors of the Constitution knew this, and drafted it to safeguard the rights of state governments. But "states's rights" has been a dirty word for quite some time.
The amount of salt used in storage applications would likely not even make a dent in the amount of salt produced by large scale desalination.
The more proximal cause of "not believing warnings about no-deal" is that there were very similar warnings for the Brexit vote itself, and approximately none of them came true.

Personally, I just can't see any big issues. Obviously UK's not going to ban the workers it needs or the imports it needs. Obviously other countries will still want to sell to a rich country like the UK. Sure, there might be a year or two of worse economic prospects as businesses and laws adjust, but really it's the long-term prospects that matter; and maybe it's better that UK unshackles itself to the EU which doesn't seem capable of thinking long-term and solving it's most pressing problems (democracy deficit, current account imbalances, immigration)...

Apple doesn't make nearly as much money from gaming as the big-dogs in gaming (XBox and ilk) make. Apple's 30% cut of app-store revenues for 2018 was about $12.5B, and I'm sure most of it is not from gaming. While Xbox raked in $10B for MSFT
I wonder if they took fast vs slow metabolizers into account. It seems to be healthy only with the fast metabolizers gene:

https://drwillcole.com/caffeine-one-thing-standing-optimal-h...

If you’re a slow caffeine metabolizer:

1. Increased risk of high blood pressure (hypertension).

2. Increased risk of heart attack.

3. Higher chance of digestive disorders.

4. More stress and measurable cortisol spikes.

If you're a fast metobolizer:

1. Longer life.

2. Faster metabolism.

3. Better memory and mood.

4. Lower cancer risk.

5. Better blood sugar + insulin balance.

I'm most assuredly a slow metabolizer since caffeine makes me feel terrible.
But it's not about presenting information. It's a completely different experience.

AirBnB handholds the traveller from the moment they start looking to when they're going on the trip. CL just presents an ad, and lets the parties email/text on their own. AirBnB handles the financial transactions, with all that that entails, and CL does not. AirBnB facilitates the communication between the landlord and the customer. They also let you add on "experiences" as part of your trip. They also include an identity verification system for both landlords and consumers, and there's a review/rating system for both. It might not be perfect, but Craigslist has nothing like it. For example, I generally avoid renting places that don't have reviews, and landlords can choose to ignore/reject renters who have built up a bad reputation.

CL, on the other hand, has a reputation for being full of scammers and other shady people.
> Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

Uh, yeah. NOT!

This is the government. If you don't have a contract, you are not getting paid. Period.

Agile is great when both parties are working in good faith. Government procurement, by both law and definition, does not work that way.
What are you doing differently? Unless you’re pulsing your charging or otherwise varying the current rapidly, then it seems that all you can really do is vary the current as a function of temperature, state of charge, and maybe some other variables. At the end of the day, if you’re going to deliver energy e in time t, you need average power e/t, and the fancier your curve, the more your peak power will exceed your average.

(And if you don’t want to overhead the cables or the connector, you care about current squared, giving you an added incentive to charge at near constant current or perhaps to charge some cells at a different rate than others.

What’s the trick here?

I use Google photos, primarily because of how friendly it can be cross-platform. It's especially helpful that I can easily build custom albums with just a couple of taps and usher it out to any contact, regardless of whether or not they already have an account set up. Sending invites over text message or any other messaging platform is dead simple. I used to support Apple's shared albums but I haven't been engaged with that platform since I started to use the G Photos app to back up and free storage space on my phone. It also made switching devices relatively painless since I didn't have to worry about 10+ Gb of transfer.

If it didn't feel like Apple was playing catch up with Google Photos, I might've used iCloud more. Also, I hit that 5 Gb threshold very early on.

Sorry, I didn't word that right. You're correct, the current literature suggests that there's a correlation between mental "exercise" and a reduced risk of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.

However, there appears to be a link between stress and stress-related hormones and increased amyloid accumulation (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2905685/), so if the amyloid theory for dementia is correct, then there's a fine line between "fun" cognitive load and stressful cognitive load.
The issue comes up under several kinds of state and federal law. All of the inquiries are pretty fuzzy. None of them turn on what contracts say, but rather the facts of the working situation.

Most US lawyers advise reciting independent-contractor status, anyway. Some forms include obligations to comply with tax laws in accordance with that characterization. Some go even further, and have contractor indemnify client for wage, benefit, and other reclassification-related claims by putative subs.

Where reclassification is particularly risky, lawyers will often include recitals that go to the relevant factors, like independence, self-direction, use of own equipment, and so on. Intuition says that language may be stronger when they it speaks in terms of the specific work to be done, rather than generic features of a generic independent-contractor agreement.
