Would the situation be any different if the man had booked the Frankfurt-Berlin leg with a different airline?

Well, for starters, Lufthansa wouldn't have any way to know that the passenger flew to Berlin; for all it knew, he could have just missed his flight to Oslo. But if somehow this came to Lufthansa's knowledge, would they still have a valid case against him?
That kind of dismissive, smug response is never helpful and often disempowering. While so far we've never gotten around conservation of energy laws, we've often engineered solutions that met our goals. There are renewable sources of energy that can power this effort. Many wind-farms and even solar farms are starting to overproduce in some areas. Nuke plants overproduce because they can't adapt quickly enough to changing demands. There are solutions to the problem of powering these sequestration units.
Colonizing Mars is a poor choice for that, much better to focus on the Asteroid then Kepler belt.

It’s got both up and downsides. For example, you actually get more solar energy in the Astroid belt becase you can always face the sun and don’t need to worry about Mars’s dust storms. But, if we can colonize the Kepler belt the rest of the galaxy is open ‘for free’.
No, it doesn't leave me with the same feeling, with Skype it feels really invasive and insensitive. It's also totally unnecessary. It's not a company trying to sell Father's Day cards, or a product of some sort, it's the messenger application I use for communicating with business colleagues. There is literally no need for it.
Sorry, I meant to ask if you had any evidence that it was true, rather than if you just had some reasoning that it was true. As far as I can tell social mobility in Europe is about as good as it is in the US despite the much higher home ownership rate in the US.

Yes, home ownership provides a way for people to accumulate wealth that is tax advantaged by US government policy. But does it provide the same benefit in countries without that tax advantage? And is that advantage enough to offset the reduced labor mobility that home ownership brings[1].

Speaking of trees, massive reforestation could be one way to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere. As a bonus, you end up with a lot of lumber you can use for things like buildings.
No vig

The tough part about a problem of massive scale is no solution is good enough. So you sit around debating a global carbon tax for decades while attacking any other effort that is an incremental approach?
About one-third of Americans say using blackface is acceptable
They can't, and that's not what they're trying to do.
Yes. Assuming you don't need to run other CPU/memory intensive programs, probably not a real big issue when plugged in, but it's a killer if you're running on battery.
The trouble with IPSO is that it's toothless; you can take a look down https://www.ipso.co.uk/rulings-and-resolution-statements/ and see how often the Mail, Express and Sun get ruled against on accuracy.
What is love?

My dog only sticks around because I feed it. But then that's the same for my partner.

I suppose you could say its some kind of need for companionship? For me and my partner that's evolutionarily good for raising our spawn. But my dog has been genetically bred for 1000s of years for our purposes, maybe for a dog, it's unnatural to love, and a form of genetic enslavement? Maybe they've just learnt they get rewarded when they show 'love'.

Of course theres also the chance that you're anthropomorphising an animal.
Sublime Text handles large files with ease. I routinely hand edit 5MB CSV files (with a color-coding plugin) and have had zero performance issues.
> The shortest time between resupply missions to Mars is two years.

You aren't going to be sending only one ship at a time. You will be staggering shipments, with 3-4 ships in transit at a time. You could make the time between resupplies as short as you want.
Maybe not compared to other GUI apps, but when you've grown accustomed to the performance of vim in a terminal, it feels very sluggish in comparison
You can do this in Supermemo quite easily. It does have interleaving (mixing multiple "decks") by default, although you can do reviews from one deck if you want to.

You'd be losing FOSS, Linux, and IMHO my favorite feature, the mobile support by switching to Supermemo.

When I was using Anki in school I just used multiple decks. Usually one per class.
11 files, showing only the top two references per file. In a proper grep it shows about 35 unsafe references. Not bad indeed.
It's an arbitrary choice in the Prelude, yes. If you don't like it you can definitely your own Cons type (or wrap a list in a new type) and define any monad instance (semantics) you choose.
I couldn't agree with this more. Living in the midwest though I'm sure these tree's won't be able to live here. That being said I'd love to see a list of trees that work well as carbon sinks for other geographic area's.

Why? How does it follow from the previous sentence?
No idea why you're being downvoted. I think everything you said is supported by strong evidence.

I agree with you in principle, but I'd go further. The ROC certainly _is_ a country in name as well. It doesn't have relations with all the world's governments, but neither does e.g. the US nor the PRC.

The origins aren't really that special anyway. The conflict between the PRC and ROC is really a conflict between two governments over borders. The correct parallel is something like India and Pakistan or North and South Korea. The PRC (mostly...also some people in the ROC) like to act like their case is some mystical historical wrong that must be righted, but it's really not special in any way. The PRC wants to annex its neighbor and uses propaganda in an attempt to make themselves look noble. It's a standard playbook.
Yes it is. https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/tree/master/editor-p...

Yes. Horribly so.
A lot of their initial revenue came from Air Force and other military contracts to launch satellites to space. GPS satellites, spy satellites etc.
E.g here's an article from 2016 about them launching a GPS satellite for ~$90M: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-space-spacex-launch-ula-i...
More recently they also launch private satellites. Iirc, Facebook has plans to launch their next satellites on a SpaceX rocket (an earlier attempt failed).
> Rust's 'memory safety' guarantee is different from Go's 'memory safety'.

Nope. Rust protects against data races, that are universally considered memory unsafe, given the usual C/C++ concurrency model. There is no ambiguity here. And yes, sequential Go _is_ memory safe, but concurrent Go is not. Deal with it, gophers - and please do not impute purposeful ambiguity and disingenuous characterization where there isn't any.
> It could be years before deep-learning systems are deployed in emergency rooms and clinics.

Yep. Caduceus was an expert system that did this back in 1980. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CADUCEUS_(expert_system)

Since then many bayesian and decision tree diagnosis systems were created and performed comparably as well. But none were ever deployed, largely because some sort of nurse or PA is still needed to do the hard part -- the physical exam. Diagnosis using existing data is easy; it's the acquisition of all the necessary data that's hard.

Until software/AI can replace all that a health pro does, especially the physical exam, it will remain a niche tool used only in the path lab or the back offices of insurance companies.
You can't seriously believe that.
There is no technical reason we couldn’t solve this problem, only political reasons.
Musk wants to "save humanity".

He believes that the biggest risk to humanity is that we're currently all on one planet. This means global warming, nuclear war, pandemics, zombies, etc, could basically wipe out humanity.

If he can get humans living on Mars, that means that destroying life on a planet no longer destroys humanity, and that is a very significant levelling up to human survival. Getting people to Mars, to learn how to settle permanently there is a first step. Getting re-usable rockets is a first step even before that. Most things related to SpaceX that Musk does are essentially steps on the path to making this happen.

He may or may not be on the right track, and even if it's a good idea he might be doing it the wrong way, but everything is consistently focused around making this happen. For this, further developing the mid-west, terraforming Arizona, or colonising the bottom of the sea are all insufficient to achieve the goal.
You're right, they're not trying to use physical force, they're trying to extort him to do so.
Just throwing out an alternative: for work, I have a 230k word file of notes I've taken that I edit with emacs org mode. I add to this file 2-3 time per week (so, not every day, but pretty frequently). With org mode, you get the "folding" of different sections for free. Plus, org mode has different tools for converting content, so no need to build one-off bash scripts for many common use cases.

I think the man has correctly identified the flaws of capitalism and is rightfully asking why we can't fix some of those by changing capitalism.

Any political system can become harmful to individuals and society when pushed to its extremes, as it's happening now in western societies, but especially in the US.

Heh. I got the Galaxy Nexus when it was the flagship, and I never got a single update. I got the Nexus 5X a couple of years ago, and Google is failing to provide this update for that phone.

If Google can't even get it right on their own devices, they can't be shifting the blame to manufacturers.

The only remotely-safe choice is an iPhone.
With airlines checking in your bags to your final destination, isn't the "hidden city" trick a massive problem for others?

What's likely to happen is if the passenger doesn't show up, the flight will be delayed because their bags need to be unloaded.
What? If I buy the car, I own the car. BMW has no say in where I drive it.

I could only see this argument if I was borrowing / leasing the car from BMW.

You'd have to change what ownership means for this to make sense.
If you're in the UK, then this is completely valid on a rail journey.

If outbound then you can leave and come back in as long as it's the same day (rail days start at 4am). If it's an open return, then you have the entire month to split up and resume your journey. There's nothing to stop you getting off half way through and not returning.

Edit: Apologies, this does depend on ticket type, but should apply to most off-peak and super off peak and open return tickets:

"Break of journey is allowed on the outward and return portions of Off-Peak tickets unless otherwise indicated by a restriction shown against the ticket's validity code.

You may start, break and resume, or end your journey at any intermediate station along the route of travel on Off-Peak tickets unless the ticket restriction for the journey you are making does not allow it. If you intend to start, break and resume, or end your journey at any intermediate station, please call 03457 48 49 50 to check if it is available on your specific journey."

Shouldn’t you include the value of the energy that the barrel creates in the calculation?
We've had expert systems since the 80s that were better at experts at some tasks (the paper I read was about antibiotic choice and dose). The problem is never with their effectiveness, it is all the issues around who is responsible for the patient.

If the doctor didn't update the software, who should be liable if something bad happens?

If the program has a bug, who should be liable?

Does the doctor have the responsibility to double check the recommendations made by the AI/expert system?

etc etc

It's much easier to just have a single point of responsibility (the doctor), as it makes the legal questions more simple.
Umm, renewables to build more renewables.
Right, but they are always worse than just not burning the CO2 in the first place.

Also, "So far"? If you believe that we're ever going to break the conservation of mass and energy, you literally believe in magic.
I’ve heard of airlines canceling the return flight if you skip a segment in the outbound leg. And that makes sense if their terms lay that out ahead of time.

I’ve also heard of airlines canceling “overlapping” tickets which would not be possible unless you skipped a leg. I’ve been hit by that when trying to book multiple flights for a business trip where I didn’t know exactly when I would be coming back, and the advance fare ticket was a small fraction of the cost of a refundable ticket.

Complaining that a customer skips a final segment on the return flight is poor sport. Except for one thing — if they have you in the system because you started your return flight earlier in the day, and now at your connecting flight they are calling final boarding again and again waiting for a passenger that never shows, it holds up the entire plane and is a drag on their resources trying to page you and track you down.

I can understand airlines refusing future service to someone who does this to them repeatedly. A 5 year ban or terminating their frequent flier account or something along that lines would seem appropriate.

The ban might be hard to enforce however since it’s not like Amazon where they can blacklist your address.
Are you not arguing and attempting to impose a stance on others right now? You don’t know which countries we are from and if our governments are aligned.

There’s a thing called human rights and we should all stand up for them.
I have a Moto x4 which is an Android One device. I got the security patches a few days ago.
That's the wrong way to look at it.

Anything you're not good at it is going to slow you down. The question is that even tho you might be slow, if you put in the effort, learn it then get good, will the savings and speed up make up for the initial slow down?

I'm a vim fan and won't try to convince others. But I personally believe that the answer is yes. One of the secret to being successful with vi is that of mindset. You need to have a positive mindset that it's worth learning, you need to commit to learning it. I learned vi when network speed was very slow and systems didn't have enough memory. It was faster than any other editor. So I had the mindset that I needed to learn it. if I was starting out today, it probably would be hard when you have editors like vscode.

I have typed and used computers everyday for 25 years non stop and I have no issue with my fingers and I believe a major part of it is using vim and my fingers not having to travel and move out to find a mouse or hitting Ctrl+ keys.
I switched to Dvorak originally because I wanted to learn how to touchtype and using Dvorak meant that I couldn't cheat by looking at the keyboard. We're now almost 15 years later and I don't regret my choice, I don't know if typing in Dvorak is really faster than QWERTY but it definitely feels very comfortable. That's a very significant functional difference, most of the typing in Dvorak occurs around the home row. When you type for hours every day it's well worth the switch IMO. Get a good ergonomic keyboard while you're at it.

That being said if I anybody reading this is tempted to switch away from QWERTY towards a more ergonomic layout I'd suggest looking into Colemak, it's supposed to be at least as ergonomic as Dvorak while being closer to the standard QWERTY layout.
Can anyone explain to me why these flights end up being cheaper in the first place?

I know that airline pricing can be quite odd, but charging less for two flights than for one just seems to defy logic. What am I missing?
I'd be interested to see a thorough breakdown of everybody, not just women, who were "buried in footnotes".
It got treated as security fix only after the article was published:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=906585

..this means i386 and these sysadmins who apply only security updates were still affected at that time.
I wouldn't even say the initial slant is anti-Rust. To me it reads as "Rust wants what I want, which I appreciate, and that is exactly why I won't go easy on it". Yes, the title is click-baity, but author also immediately acknowledges that "unsafe" is a necessary compromise:

> But dealing with those things is necessary to run code on modern hardware, so something has to deal with it.

The main point is that "unsafe" is the weakest link in the language, since it bypasses the safety guarantees of Rust. Therefore it needs solutions outside of the language (in the form of how bugs are handled, and programmer culture) to minimize the risks it brings.

>“Altruism” can be defined as the part of your utility that increases because someone else’s utility increases. If you get no personal satisfaction out of something intrinsically but get satisfaction because someone else is happier, that is 100% altruistic.

Yes, it really is. I use VSCode as my daily driver because I can find an extension for anything. It's good for an electron app, but it's still an electron app. I just tried opening a 20mb log file with similar results on CPU usage. The memory usage for that one file was background noise compared to the 1.9GB VSCode was already using with 2 workspaces and 10 normal source files open.
As a Dvorak and Vim (Spacemacs, really) user, I don't get this argument.

It's not about speed. Sure, some people say it's about speed, on either side of the debate, but I'm not a faster typist, nor a faster editor, nor would it matter in my profession (coding.)

It's about ease of use.

Once you're used to them, these tools save you (cognitive) overhead. Dvorak doesn't tire out my wrists (subjective, but I switched away from Qwerty&Emacs after developing RSI when writing larger technical documentation. Never had the same problem with Vim&Dvorak, even when writing frantically day and night on my thesis.) And Vim allows me to navigate text easily. It's not about speed. It's about intuitively navigating to something quickly, without having to think about it, and to stop and completely upend my current focus because I have to hunt & peck for something with my mouse.
Learn Emacs and then you can save hours of work doing anything.

All you do is learn how to write Elisp Macros. And then you automate your knowledge. Think of it like programming a text pad(s)(Like how excel is programming a list(s) of cells). You realize that the text buffer is your programming environment, with cursor movement as your basic control, and text output as your end goal. Then of course other programmatic facilities apply.

Only recently wrote a piece of Elisp code at work, that takes a file, does a bit of error analysis and gives me offending lines and other inputs like ids. I take them in a buffer and do all kinds of set operations(intersection etc) from inputs in other buffers(Elisp code for that too). Then take them and have Elisp generate a email message for me(Again Elisp code to do this). I just copy paste and send it to respective stake holders.

And I'm a novice who barely started with Emacs. I only imagine what I can do when I get fully proficient with it. It's like automating yourself.

I guess we are only lucky our work happens to be mostly in text and we get to use emacs and vim(vim macros are just insane), just like accountants can put spreadsheets to crazy use as their work happens to deal with tables.
Safe to assume someone pulling this "trick" plans accordingly, no? You don't HAVE to check bags.
Yep, even the act of rooting stem cuttings is often referred to as "cloning".
At this point we'd be moving from policy to wide-scale social engineering.
You don't check in bags if you're using this method.
I would argue being vegan is a very hard change, equivalent in my mind to asking people who care about the environment to never fly or get in a car with an internal combustion engine. Those people exist, but man is that a lot to ask!

It is a much smaller ask to opt into paying 5 cents more for a burger to offset. But with travel the connection to emissions is more obvious and wealthy people have a larger share (a rich person doesn't eat 10x more steak than average, but does fly 10x more).
Because it always takes more energy than just not burning the carbon in the first place. "Always" in the exact, scientific, ironclad sense of the word "always".
I think most people doing this are doing carry-on only.

I can remember once in the past 5 years checking a bag.

The unfortunate reality is that most users don't care for security. Google can continue to get away with only 3 years support of security updates. Another reason why I am considering going back to an iPhone.
This is anecdotal, but I had an experience where I was flying from LaGuardia to Madison, WI with a layover in Chicago. The last leg of the flight from Chicago to Madison was delayed by several hours, to the point where it would be significantly faster for my boyfriend to drive down from Madison, pick me up at the airport in Chicago, and drive me back. I don't recall which airline I was using at the time, but the gate agent told me that it was their policy to refuse to pull someone's checked luggage if someone didn't "want" to complete the last leg of the journey, but if I told someone that I was not feeling well and wished to end the trip early due to health reasons, that would be the easiest way to do it. So that's what I did - I went up to a different gate of the same airline, told them I was sick and would not be getting on the connecting flight, and the luggage was downstairs in a special area of the baggage claim within 20 minutes. It felt like being in grade school and telling the nurse I was sick to get a day off...
