Also, as a side note, we put up a monthly jobs thread on the 1st of each month (and it's pinned as the first question on the homepage). I just put up the February one this morning.
> Irish Unionists have more obvious reasons to oppose the deal due to the symbolic importance of an Irish Sea border and their own interpretations of the GFA

I'm not super caught up on the deal and the various takes. What is this referring to and what interpretation of the Good Friday Agreement is unfavorable to the deal?

I see, pastors have to be brainwashed, lest they profess "antiquated views" on these topics.

Cool.

Instead of writing long-winded essays on the implications of student loan debt, can we just stop giving these people loans for bullshit degrees?
Good summary. The first two are irrelevant in the case of Ireland (I can't see anybody imposing restrictions on Irish people living in Northern Ireland, although I don't think the GFA specifically allows it)

It's the last two that are the problem - the customs is the immediate one (as regulations won't change on March 31st), the latter has potential to cause major problems in the future, unless the UK remains aligned with EU standards.
Of course it's possible, they use tools similiar to https://github.com/Valve/fingerprintjs2 . I found a way to "confuse" such algorithms using a browser called Palemoon, yet there lot of factors that could affect anything, a simple mistake and everything will be screwed up.

Oh, for sure. Very focused languages are great.

Haskell (well, GHC) just seems to be a great resource for trying language features out. No argument that laziness could be an issue, but IO generally has to resolve thunks anyway to occur so it may not be an insurmountable one. Note that I do not know particularly much about GHC internals.
The hypersonic sound system was kind of productized years ago as the "Sound Lazer" among other things. The effect is really quite stunning! It is a truly strange effect. But, as the manufacturer themselves state, it involves pointing an array of 120dB ultrasonic emitters running at full blast, even when it is transmitting silence. It's an oppressive feeling to be in a 'loud' room, yet not be able to hear anything.

It's a mixed bag, but those fees from Google have been the primary source of revenue and supported the Mozilla Foundation for a some time. Ultimately I think the Mozilla Foundation is in a better position with those revenues then without.

From "The State of Mozilla 2017" https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2018/11/27/state-of-mozilla-20...

Today, the majority of Mozilla Corporation revenue is generated from global browser search partnerships, including the deal negotiated with Google in 2017 following Mozilla’s termination of its search agreement with Yahoo/Oath which required ongoing payments to Mozilla that remain the subject of litigation.

"For the first time, the trade agreement includes countries' Paris climate deal commitments."

This is a brilliant answer to the tragedy of the commons. Often times people ask why they should make great efforts to be more environmentally friendly when other groups are not. This creates multiparty incentives attached to real economic benefits to keep their word on climate change. I hope The US, China, and Russia all enter economic agreements with similar clauses.

EDIT: I didn't mean to single out those three countries. All countries should include these clauses in their economic agreements. India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Canada are top ten polluters that are not covered in this specific agreement or mentioned by me above.
sad this doesn't exist. it's so cute
And this is the impasse.

There are three possible outcomes here. Reverse course to remain, May's deal, or a hard Brexit. Each has about 1/3 support, and so none of them can win a vote. However the default if there is no further legislation is a hard Brexit.

Now to this issue.

Few want a border between the two halves of Ireland. Few want a border between Ireland and Great Britain. The price that the EU wants for no border is that the UK has to continue to comply with all EU regulation, and the UK gets no say in said regulation. Few in the UK want that.

The inevitable result is that, whatever happens, most people won't want that outcome. But that won't matter because they can't agree on whatever other outcome they would have wanted instead.

And this is how train-wrecks happen in slow motion.

You’ve put my feeling into words far better than I could have
All good points.

But why 'less interesting' when comments are meant to be explicit to the OP?

Wouldn't the fact that there are ample opportunities to post diverse topics through multiple individual posts, provides even more ample opportunities to comment in-context on each one of them individually?

Contrast this to an offline world scenario, where let's say, you are in a setting with limited time on your hand. Your conversation (on any given topics) will start and end at some point because you are not going to be around together for long. In such offline contexts, you naturally may have various continuous topics to discuss and it is fine if things diverge.

But online, you technically do not have such time restrictions. Plus, you have a platform which facilitates contextual discussions which can stay neat and tidy. My argument here is, that we tend to not take advantage of the real value of the online forums (by being all over, as if we are not going to get the second opportunity).

I tend to think that the concise comments online, on an exact topic at hand, provide collective value, as opposed to diverged sentences or two. This does not mean that 100 people would write counter-article and/or dissertation on the OP (that would really be boring for sure). But instead of 100 short and diverged comments, 5 focused comments (counter, etc) are better overall in providing better value for the time.
It's clear to me - why is such a powerful country acting like such a cowardly custard?

What do you mean by flexibility here?
I travelled in the UK and in the US, and I felt that classic books were similarly priced there. In France, for books, there is quite often a cycle of "first edition with luxury components around the 20 bucks mark, followed by a pocket edition a year later around the 9 bucks mark".

For traditional french comic books, the price is France is I think higher than what I observed in the US and UK.

This is partly due to traditional culture where french publishers prefer full color editions needing more work ( where in the rest of the world we're happily mixing colors and white and black), and partly due too I suppose to a lack of incentive to lower prices when the demand is so high at the moment.

Second hand books are a total free market, and are very popular items.
Not really, if it were US dollars for example then you either have to exchange suitcases full of cash or send transaction through banks which due to regulations can be required to freeze your money. Cryptocurrencies works more like cash but without having to physically exchange actual coins/bills.
Silicon Valley isn't just a place, it's a mindset and set of values. I deal with "Silicon Valley" businesses in London. It's spreading.

Thats a great attitude but even assuming that I trust you (I mean, I am sure you are a great guy and all, but I don't know you), that is what you deliberately store and allow customers to access. Your log files contain IP addresses and agent strings, enough information to identify people with fairly high accuracy. What do you do with them?
It seems like a good thing to let the market make books as cheap as possible so that more people can access them.

> n the version of the bill incorporated into the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act, the U.S. Congress would ask the United States Secretary of State to collaborate with the United States Secretary of Defense and other relevant Federal agencies to create a Global Engagement Center (GEC) to fight against propaganda from foreign governments, and publicize the nature of ongoing foreign propaganda and disinformation operations against the U.S. and other countries

Seems like the bill -- which was part of the National Defense Authorization Act -- itself said that the money should come from the Pentagon. So how am I conflating things?

What if we thought of software not as a product, or a service, but a utility or a public good? There doesn't seem to be any way to monetize software that isn't destructive to users, either through paywalls or tracking/advertising, so why not publicly subsidize its development and release it for free?
Yes. Chrome is just a Safari skin plus Google’s tracking.

I know for sure if you make a second account and sign into a device like a phone or tablet where you've already signed onto another account - it will realize the connection and start suggesting you friends from your original account.

I'm not sure if that's taking MAC address of the device or the phone number into consideration or what - but it's definitely a bit creepy
> Do you think putting a hard border between NI and the Republic constitutes a change in the status of Northern Ireland without a consent of the majority of its people, against the legitimate wishes of people in Northern Ireland and a majority on the island?

Indeed - if the Irish or the EU choose to erect a hard border it would indeed go against those wishes, and the UK should not allow them to do it.
It's true in a lot of french trains, not just the tgv. Not a technical problem, but a logistic one.

It doesn't help that many people shop by brand names and not ingredients. When my SO has cold-type symptoms, I ask her specifically what they are so I can get the right thing.

Otherwise she will just ask for "Mucinex" because it worked really well that one time. This ignores the fact that like all of the *Quils, Sudafeds, Tylenol Cold-Flu-and-Explosive-Diarrheas, and Robitussins, there are multiple preparations made from various ingredients.

If I need an expectorant, I want guaifenesin. Cough suppressant: dextromethorphan. Decongestant: psuedoephedrine. Pain reliever: acetaminophen or ibuprofen or whatever.

It also doesn't help that it's hard to find the specific mix you need in a single preparation but it's also gotten harder to find just single ingredient store brands of some of these as well.

I don't want to take something I don't need so I'd rather not just buy some name brand kitchen-sink capsule that adds various decongestants or antihistamines if I don't need them.

But then the same focus on brand names and basic descriptions can lead to people buying homeopathic sugar pills because they're in the same department and list similar symptoms. If you never shop by ingredient, you won't know that a 1000x diluted extract of duck liver isn't the same as pseudoephedrine and guaifenesin.
Fair enough, but tell that to everyone who dismisses design as eye-candy and frivolous nonsense whenever someone complains about it.
