Wow, that's a lot of consequences for what probably seemed like a simple, obvious design decision. It's rare to see an honest acknowledgment of this, but it raises questions like "what other early, obvious design decisions make Windows goofy today?" Drive letters? Backslash as path separator? Magic file names like CON, LPT, AUX?
any advantages for the females with a male twin, like increased athleticism ?
Shows how the UK is a serfdom.
Fair enough. Cloudflar's promotional site for 1.1.1.1 seems to tout DNSSEC pretty heavily and only mentions DoH once, I believe.

Still, clients still need to be configured for DoH, yeah?
This is a number I remember from 1999.

For Finland specifically, I understand it is difficult to rely on solar. May be in a 100 years, when we can run a superconducting cable through Russia to more Southern places.

On the other hand, imagine a scale of disaster if Fukushima-style meltdown happens in Finland. Is it really worth it?
What happened to the "no politics" policy of HN?
The obvious answer for this problem is for the major housebuilders to adopt a 'build to rent model' rather than 'build to sell'.

It would eliminate the need for a middleman who is often borrowing money to fund the purchase himself, adding further inefficiencies to an already inefficient business model.

The prospect of builders becoming long-term landlords may also incentivize them to build a house that will last the course of the tenancy?

Not the case for the UK.
This. An advisory referendum is advisory. Constitutions use advisory refs for issues that are complicated and not suited for direct democracy. In the UK though, politicians were too coward to do their job and treated the referendum result as law.

You probably shouldn't use OPAL if you want device encryption.

There was an article published last year that showed that almost all OPAL drives had some security issue that let users bypass(yes I do mean bypass) the encryption. Several instances the PBKD was stored on disk, and a conditional if statement decided to use it

"I see a society that is crumbling" - texts that begin with a conclusion, are propaganda, because they are designed to intimidate and that shapes the reader's view before even laying out the problem. Of course you can expect a politically biased solution after every scare. The pattern in a loop is: SCARE->OFFER SOLUTION. Every sentence in that article is designed, not to let you think, not to offer some insight, but to tell you _how_ to think instead. Maybe there is a case to be made but it does not seem to be the author's intention to search for the truth in the matter, but rather to influence an already established position.
No because we formed study groups and did it collectively.
I'm from the UK and I've taken the train for holidays in Southern Italy (Salerno) and Bosnia. (But to be fair I'd usually fly to Istanbul, and that's only 3MM).

Click the link. It has a section titled "What semi-automatic firearms will not be affected by the ban?"
Agreed. The indie web exists, but discovery is a problem since FAANG utterly dominates the consumer web landscape and makes it hard to find sites that aren't just badly disguised content marketing pieces.

At the end of the day, you can do all the decentralized node stuff you want to, but as soon as someone builds a sizable community independent of FAANG (I like G-MAFIA too), it will start to do whatever it can to protect that moat and with it, their monetization options. And then we're right back to square one.
Sort of - lots of guns can be manufactured as both, or converted between them by the addition/removal of parts.
If your fine with no tabs, and privacy is your top priority, on mobile I'd highly recommend "Privacy Browser" (android) - disclaimer: I know the author.

It's pretty cool. It has a well thought interface for toggling settings (javascript, 1st party cookies, 3rd party cookies, block lists, etc.) and comes with pretty aggressive defaults.

IIRC, the author has plans to add tab support, I'm not sure when though.

Edit: Personally, at this point I'm using Firefox + uBlock origin. I've tried chrome too, but prefer Firefox. As soon as it gets tab support though, I'll be switching to privacy browser.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not, but it doesn't seem to be.

Binary computers are precise in their operation; that's why we use programming languages: to make it easier to create the underlying instructions to perform calculations. You are assuming that human answers to human questions in imprecise human language can even be converted to binary instructions. If it were that easy, general AI would've already been invented and self-driving cars would already exist.

The last apartment I rented (15 years back) had an interesting mechanism for this: The rent was about $2000 but they applied something they called a "subsidy" of $400 off per month. Basically if you pissed them off they could immediately raise your rent by $400 per month to drive you out.
Simply because any sufficiently old Django app has the same intro curve as any other (possibly customised) framework.

Have you actually used Flask, by the way? Or the older version of it called Pyramid? The truth with it is that it's not only complex, but also doesn't prefer any of it's optional components. Any project you'll be building in it is going to be custom anyway.
Back in 2011 I took a trip from Philly to Tampa (to watch spring training).

Me and my buddy split the sleeper car cost (~$750 each). That also included three meals since it was a 24 hour trip. And at that time the food was good.

It was really fun actually. Yes, it was long, but we enjoyed the trip. Seeing the east coast up and down was neat. Talking with random people who are there.

I'd definitely do it again, but only for special trips.
One of the requirement listed to apply via the author's company is native fluency in English. How do they evaluate that? If it's some test, I am not aware of any test which measures this. If it depends on where you are born? Is that kind of stratification legal?

My company has some groups using Skype, and a few development teams, like mine, that are pilot testing Mattermost. But word on the street is that our IT department is looking to put everyone on Teams. Everyone I've talked to that uses Skype regularly hates it. My team seems to love Mattermost and I think it helps bring us together. I really hope Teams can keep up that feel at least on my team.
You either have to build more efficient buildings or retrofit existing buildings. Most home/office energy expenditure is on heating/cooling/fridging/hot showers. Only 10% is based on lighting [1].

The best way to tackle cooling/heating is by improving insulation, but unfortunately, there is little ability/reason to. Those that would get the most utility out of it are poor and therefore cannot afford it. Those who can afford it are rich, and therefore don't care about a few dollars lost to heating/cooling the outside air. Even if the rich do care, it often isn't worth the emotional/mental hassle of having massive construction done to your abode.

Can someone make a petition for those who want to leave.
I'm glad this was posted here because it echoes the philosophy of a late (18th?) century philosopher who i cannot remember the name of. Perhaps some of the other well-read minds of hacker news can remind me what his name is.

Basically he's an ehticist, an economist, and a philosopher and he also promotes a "value system" in his philosophy that states that buying a home for any othe reason than to live in it yourself is ethically/morally wrong.

I have been looking for his name for ages since i found it first, should've bookmarked it, never did. Now i desperately want to find him and re-read some of his works as well as his wiki page.

Edit: His name might be Henry George and his philosophy Georgism. Does that sound right to any of yall? Or is it someone else I'm thinking of?

Here's the official report: https://www.bea.aero/uploads/tx_elyextendttnews/annexe.01_04...

Page 28: The right-seat co-pilot Bonin says "j’ai l’impression qu’on a une vitesse de fou non qu’est-ce que vous en pensez ? "(I feel like we're speeding like crazy, what do you think?")

Page 31: Same co-pilot "mais je suis à fond à cabrer depuis tout à l’heure " (But I've pulling back completely for a while), and this while the cockpit is screaming "Dual Input" (so this means that the other pilot was inputting as well, thus "unbeknownst" in my original comment).

Same page, right after, the captain says, "non non non ne remonte plus là" (No, no, no, don't pull back any further".

If you read the entire transcript, it's clear that there was persistent confusion as to who was in control, despite the dual-input warnings. AF447 is widely considered to be a failure in CRM, and a failure to recognize that they were in an aerodynamic stall (again, despite the warnings).

They didn't trust the plane with the information it was providing, which is probably why they ignored these warnings.
Waste isn't 'temporarily stored onsite forever' It's stored in cooling pools onsite while the most active radionuclides decay, because the fuel elements are giving off enough heat to melt if not actively cooled. This takes around 5 years. After that the waste is moved offsite for vitrification and storage.

Vitrified nuclear waste has caused a grand total of 0 deaths or incidents throughout its history. More people die due to solar plants each year than have died to vitrified nuclear waste in all time.

Gen 3, never mind gen 4 reactors are able to consume waste from older reactor designs and spit out relatively inert waste products. Gen 4 reactors generally don't produce the kind of active waste that needs cooling pools, and their waste can be immediately made inert.

The hot waste problem exists only because most plants operating today date back to cold war era designs and were intended to produce weapons grade nuclear material rather than the the cleanest kWh. Despite that, they're still cleaner than every other energy source we have today.

It is very much a solved problem.
Can we then have a 2nd petition, just in case anyone has changed their mind?
I wonder if we could build a decentralized system of a 6th dimension?

Based on the US military doctrine, we've got 5 dimensions: air, sea, land, space, and cyber. There are 4 dimensions designed by nature and 1 dimension designed by humans. And we're able to engage differently (e.g., at worst, becoming 'domains of warfare') in each of these dimensions.

Wouldn't it be neat to create a completely new 6th dimension, which is independent of the 5 we have, with distinctive features for its system? I'm curious if the brain-computer interface, like what Elon Musk is doing with Neuralink, could be that new dimension?

So let's say some random person, Bob, builds an awesome website in his free time. Bob spends hundreds of hours just so others can use his awesome idea. Now you're telling him what to do. That's not morality, that's just entitlement.

Even if Bob was to put some ads on his webpage, because he wasn't so selfless after all, then what?

> It’s not on people with disabilities to tell you how you screwed up

If you have a problem, you complain. If you don't complain, then you'll have to wait until someone else does or just live with it. That goes for everybody; it's how life works.

> If you build for the web, you have a moral obligation to make sure it works right for everyone.

No. No I don't.

It wasn't my moral obligation to build that website to begin with. It wasn't my moral obligation to make it available to anyone in the first place. It's not my obligation to translate the web page to make it available to people who don't speak my language. And it isn't my obligation to make it available or accessible to any other group of people.
You can't really compare an internet petition with a government operated referendum.

The point of petitions like these are to poll for public interest in lieu of a government sanctioned response.

Well, I gave up entirely on taking notes in high-school because laptops weren't allowed, and I can barely read my handwriting if I'm quickly taking notes. Whereas in uni I actually used my notes, and have even referred to them years later since they're actually readable and useful. Granted, I would have them 1/2 typed while reading the material before lecture and did a final-draft cleanup after lecture, but typed notes were far more helpful than handwritten notes.

Assuming that everyone learns the same way you do is just false. Some people really like mind maps, I don't find them personally helpful but I don't tell people it's a useless technique or that they're wrong. If a student can't be trusted to have a laptop without spending the lecture browsing Facebook, then why should the lecturer care? That student is only hurting their own academic performance, it shouldn't stop others from being able to learn in a manner that benefits themselves.

I'm not saying we can't address that from a policy perspective, but as a parent you shouldn't wait until the government regulates everything your child comes in contact with – you need to be a bit more proactive than that.
My first wife was an ER nurse then cardiac critical care. The doctors would look for her to talk to the families of patients who had died because they said she was good at it.

Agreed, the results with the "missing" flag are the worst. I can abide synonymous substitutions, for instance if I search for "interesting articles" and the results include "fascinating", "intriguing", etc. But it is boneheaded to serve up results that completely ignore one of or more search terms.

I increasingly suspect that Google is entering the lengthy death-by-design-by-committee phase that will ultimately unseat them as the top player in their space.

I have done this before, more than once. Some companies were in better shape, some this bad. Every one of them failed. Every dollar I spent was wasted. You may get different results.

Don't kid yourself into thinking this is a good bet. It is a huge gamble that most likely will not pay off. If you can accept that and still want to do it, go ahead. If you don't want to take the risk, don't.

In the UK, yes. The owner is responsible for council tax when a property is empty. This varies across the country, it could be totally zero rated when the property is empty and unfurnished, or it could be that you have to pay entirely. Where I live, landlords can get one month free in any 12 month period for empty (no residents) and unfurnished (except for white goods) properties.

But some people might want the observe the sights and not have a lot of noise around them, right? Not really sure it's fair to pollute a public space with your music when not everyone might like it, or have the confidence to say when they don't like it. Not very nice to say to people you're going to subject them to music and if they don't like it their only option is to leave. Doesn't really sound right does it?
If there isn't one already then you're free to create one yourself. Nobody is denying the right for one to exist.
Marriage rate differences have already been shown to be correlated with hormone levels.[1][2] Measuring whether such a difference exists for the level of exposure in-utero simply by having a male twin is interesting. If anything, the natural interpretation of this data would be to expand the range of behavior (marriage rate) considered 'typical' for females.

Similarly, fertility differences have been observed already for e.g. mice exposed to different levels of testosterone in utero. The 'freemartin' cows mentioned by another poster here are infertile for a similar reason. Hormones play a huge role developmentally and are almost 100% responsible for morphological sexual anatomy.

There's no agenda present in measuring these outcomes. These are exactly the outcomes that would be expected naturally to be different. If anything, the unusual inclusion is the economic and educational factors.

I get your point, but is it not fair to allow people to earn a living? Being a landlord is a job, it helps to put food on my table and a roof over my head. Surely there are other jobs out there, but why make this one illegal? All forms of employment can be used to exploit others, shall we make them all illegal?

I think it will happen in Australia by overbuilding solar. Solar at utility scale is now regularly getting below 2c/kWh globally, retail electricity in Australia is 30c/kWh, we’ll probably just end up building twice as much as is necessary, then seasonal changes won’t matter.

Python has to be one of the worst languages used today. It literally provides no value except for an abundance of libraries. Maybe you could argue it’s easy to learn, but so is Racket or Scheme. It’s dog slow, doesn’t support multi-threading, and lacks any sort of cohesive design.

Lambdas suck, collection types are totally inconsistent (list, dict, etc), too many magic keywords and concepts. Trying to program using a FP style is almost impossible. Also no macros, no traits, no real classes (duck typing is garbage and lazy).

You know a language is garbage when the most popular libraries aren’t even written in the language!
The right to be held to your side of the bargain is perhaps not immediately obvious as an important right, but there's a decent bit that has been written on the topic. For example:

"Among the legal privileges of corporations, two that are mentioned in textbooks are the right to sue and the "right" to be sued. Who wants to be sued! But the right to be sued is the power to make a promise: to borrow money, to enter a contract, to do business with someone who might be damaged. If suit does arise, the "right" seems a liability in retrospect; beforehand it was a prerequisite to doing business." ~ Thomas Schelling, The Strategy of Conflict
Those 17 million voted for many different versions of leaving, different sets of changes to our relationship with Europe (many of those were impossible or illusory -- based on lies). All those who voted to remain voted for essentially the same thing, to maintain our current relationship with Europe.
This isn't entirely unrelated to how many marginal ecosystems are currently being destroyed by domesticated grazing animals, which are typically invasive species that will overpopulate the area either because of lack of predators or because humans are protecting them from predators.

This maybe wasn't such a big deal centuries ago when natural forces also placed stronger limits on the size of the human populations in those areas. Nowadays, though, I think we very much have to think about the possibility that, regardless of any romantic notions about traditional ways of life, using livestock to live in places we otherwise couldn't is not something we do to respect nature, it's something we do that's destroying it.
