Everything is on the margin. A high cost of labor won't mean that you'll have no McD's. Some locations are very profitable and those will continue to operate. Others are less so, so on the margin many won't make the cut.

If you look at number of McD's by country, Denmark has 1 location per 64k people while US has 1 per 23k [0]. Also some of that is preference.

I'm not also not sure where you got the $20/hour wage for Denmark:

Denmark Minimum Wage: None; instead, negotiated between unions and employer associations; the average minimum wage for all private and public sector collective bargaining agreements was approximately DKK 110 (nominally $16) per hour, exclusive of pension benefits [1]

Local asian grocery store was selling chunks of wasabi for ~$60 here in Boston, as of yesterday. Pricing was like $120/lb.
Most non-English languages borrow French word "Milliard" to say English "Billion". Some non-English languages use "Trillion" for English "Trillion" and some use "Billion" for English "Trillion".
I don’t think the intention is to reduce rentals, just to stop prices from going up.

That said, you need very little cash at hand to buy a house in the Netherlands (in fact, a few years back you needed < €0), there’s no upfront payment. Credit is cheap (~2%) and abundant.
I guess you are in a high-income bubble. The average per-citizen income in Amsterdam is € 28,700. That gives you a max mortgage of 130k. I was able to find a 29 square meter studio for that amount, just outside the A10 ring.

So, an average income in Amsterdam gives you access to one single property currently on the market of 29 square meter.

Depends on what you value more. Nuclear causes fewer deaths by a magnitude than solar and wind. And what is worse, dead birds from turbines and land covered in panels so that vegetation can't grow and support the native wildlife, or some giant stable old salt mine filled with nuclear waste and closed off from the world?
When my father was in the RAF in WW2 he crossed the US by train from Florida to Hollywood - his reason simply seemed to be because he could.

Edit: Note that he did this during some leave time he had accumulated.

He only won his age group (K-3), for kids at his age. And there were kids with a rating of 1400-1700 already. Everybody knows that young immigrants play much stronger chess than US kids. So not really newsworthy at all. It would have been if he would have won the real New York State Championship, such as the young Japanese boy Harimoto who beat all the world champions right and left aged when he was still 15. (table tennis). Also an immigrant (from China). In a much harsher and openly racist society.

Supremely fresh seafood is drastically cheaper and more accessible in Shanghai than in anywhere in the US. You can hop over to any local grocer / wet market and find a half dozen varieties of live shrimp, eel, fish, etc.

I don't know about links, but the phenomenon of getting results for a query like: A "B" with no B on the page has been particularly disturbing for some time. At least months, maybe longer, I can't say. I have no idea why they made a change this drastic (it is drastic when someone makes a deliberate effort to say "I need "B" in the page, it's not a whim or a random query" and the search engine shows results which violate the query _syntax_).

The idea is not, that you can go all renewable by tomorrow, but that you can work towards it.

So yes, you probably will have to invest in the energy grid.

And the lack of suitable rivers is a problem for conventional pump power plants, but there are concepts to do the same with artifical lakes on different heights.

Then there is hydrogen.
Energy costly to create, but the idea is, that solar energy is dirt cheap, once you have the plants.

And a tons of other potential technology.

So again, yes. Not really all market ready and exactly doable by tomorrow, but will be soon.
Sooner the more it gets invested into it, because there are no laws of physics hindering it.

Only lack of momentum due to the lazyness because of cheap fossil energy for "free"

That baseload argument cuts both ways. Solar and wind can only serve as a baseload from 10-2, but only on sunny days, or when the wind blows (but not too hard). There's a reason every country moving to wind and solar is still burning more and more coal. Not everyone is as lucky as N. America to have a near limitless supply of natgas to make up for renewable's huge shortcomings.
On Google, at least a few years ago and back, when you put a query "X" you were guaranteed to see X in the HTML contents of the page. Or at least I can't remember getting a result that didn't satisfy that condition. Now it's common to not find X there.
Technically a somewhat clever pun, but currently that’s such an emotionally charged issue that no one wants it brought up unless it’s relevant.

It's signed by Ronald Evans of Apollo 17. Both of my grandfathers and a lot of my family worked for nasa for decades, though. We're all space coasters. A few pilots. My grandmother was a typist there for instance.

He was some sort of rocket propulsion engineer back then, I'm not sure what the actual title would have been. I asked him to write some memoirs a long time ago but I don't bug him about it. He doesn't seem to think it's very interesting. Guess that happens when it's your day job.
I have not used CL. I was horrified by the loop macro infact because I jumped from C to CL.

I definitely made a stupid mistake of clubbing CL with scheme and clojure but in those languages they avoid these imperative features.

I have made other points as well which makes Hylang different from the rest.

1. Hylang is a transpiler. Don't compare it with other lisps. Sibilant and Liskell are others in the same league.

2. Hylang has more useful libraries than all the other lisps.

3. Right now, I find Hylang best suited to write good old imperative dirty scripts that get stuff done. If you have used Python, Ruby, Perl ... it's practically heaven.

4. I stress the imperative part again because ... because that's my stupidity of choice. I'm a scripting guy! I'm familiar with that stuff. The best part of lisp for me is not the macros. It's that I don't have to google for syntax that often and "-" beats the "_" for variable names.

5. ipdb works too!
The “old” property owners will have to price their properties to compete with cheap, modern, newly-built housing though. That’s absolutely in line with the end goal.

You also have to bear in mind that a significant chunk of properties in NL is owned by housing associations, this new rule only applies to individuals.

I don't think of your emulators (thanks, by the way) as strictly being interpreters so much as splitting the difference between interpreters and HDL simulators. In some ways it's like you do high-level behavioral simulation of internal logic and RTL at the bus/package. That whole problem space is a far cry from running some Mac applications.

Architecturally, I think some of the things you want exist in some unusual microcontroller families (XMOS, GreenArrays, Cortex-R), but then if you get to pick the microcontroller I guess you might as well also pick the clock so that you can run in real time instead of simulated time.
Yes, they exactly are.

It's not a "petition to cancel Brexit" it's a "petition to consider debating the idea of cancelling Brexit". i.e. 1) it doesn't necessarily happen (and often doesn't) even if the threshold is passed; 2) if it is, it is _debated_ - that doesn't necessarily (and probably doesn't, at least as a direct result) mean that whatever the petitioners want is actioned.

The inverse argument - various petitions with a theme of 'leave in March' - was debated in January, here's the transcript: https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2019-01-14/debates/694...

Note it's a debate in a small committee room between people that the average (even politically interested) Briton has never heard of, minor backbenchers, it's certainly not a well-attended row in the Commons Chamber of the kind you see clipped on television.

And why should it be? MPs are already debating Brexit options, there's no need to petition them to do so.
I think it's so important that we move towards a model where we can subscribe to a selection of news sources for a reasonable amount. As others have pointed out, individual newspapers are as much as a netflix or spotify subscription - which may be justified. But even if everyone does move to a subscription model, it's bad for our society for everyone to have 1 source of news.

It's even more unhealthy if I can't have an informed discussion about the news of the day with you because you got your news from the NYT and I got my news from Times of London and we got two entirely different sides of the story and we can't go and see each other's sources of information. That sounds to me like a terrible situation to put ourselves in.

I would much rather pay $10 bucks a month and know that that revenue is distributed amongst the papers I read in proportion to how long I've spent reading each article- in exactly the same way Youtube tracks watched minutes.
Well, this is timely. I'm hopping on Amtrak tomorrow for a 30 hour trip with three young kids.
Given that the warning is optional, it would suggest that the AoA sensors are not components that are critical to a safe flight. Well... or so they thought anyway.

It's questionable if most pilots would abort a take off because of an AoA sensor discrepancy, especially if they didn't know it controls MCAS or that MCAS exists in the first place.

But yeah - good point about it potentially triggering further diagnostics prior to the flight altogether.
Hmmmm, so I work in renewables, and while I don't work in the Australian market, I would like to take issue with your assumption that a massive transition to renewables in 10 years is a joke.

If you look at most utility procurement plans, the vast majority are renewables, and prices are only getting cheaper. They are getting so cheap that new solar and wind are starting to beat currently running coal. Also, beating existing gas on price is expected within 5 years.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/energyinnovation/2018/12/03/plu...

So the current behavior in the industry is that utilities are starting to close existing coal power plants and are expected to close existing gas power plants well before their lifespan is up simply because it's cheaper.

Why the anonymous source? 10 year old secrets in a rapid-development technology seem like non-secrets, so who's willing to "leak" but not be identifiable at this point?

Agreed. Did Portland, OR to St. Paul, MN. Beautiful views. Fun to walk around. Wished there a was a smoking lounge.

But by 24 hours in it started to stink and I hadn't slept well. By the end of the trip I was cranky and exhausted. And it really smelled in the train (and this was with it just 25% full)!
> Sorry, but you are incorrect. Technically, every manufactured good has a learning curve.

Sure. But at some point physics limits how far you can go. We had a good run for many decades with micro-electronics because it's possible to cram a huge number of transistors on a tiny microchip. For solar cells and batteries we're not that far away from fundamental physical limits.

So even though batteries look poised to replace gas for services like frequency control and some peak shaving, they're still orders of magnitude too expensive to allow us to completely run a grid on wind and solar, with no guarantee they will ever actually hit those price levels required.

I find myself expressing this same opinion to people on a frequent basis. See ansible for another big example. Ansible has a try/catch equivalent in yaml [0]!

Unfortunately, YAML is more or less a lowest common denominator for these sorts of interactions - being usable from any language is a really big boon. Would love to see the world adopt a trivial lisp or similar for this sort of thing, but that feels a ways off.

Helm 3 introducing lua, for example, is a big step forward. Pretty much exactly what I've been envisioning for making k8s deployments less crummy, so I hope they end up with a good product. [1] Helm 2 is using Go-templated YAML, and it's terribly unergonomic and not particularly maintainable. Until you run templating, it's not even valid yaml, so text editors are terribly useless in aiding you with linting.

Yeah that's a big difference. The regular seats are a much different story.

I've never done it but I read about how it's basically 3 days of sitting shoulder to shoulder with someone and there's no showers. Can't imagine what that would be like in a car filled with 50+ people.

I did take the Amtrak from CT To Boston once and it wasn't too bad, but that was a few hour trip. Much different than a few days.
Yes you’re right on exact matches.

For basic keyword searches. It’s not uncommon for search users to want inexact equivalencies, synonyms or conceptually close search results. (Search for cold, get back rhinovirus). Every user and use case has different definitions/tolerances of “this term appeared on the page”

> But since my provider knows every ip i connect to, they already have everything they need in the first place, even if i dont use their dns.

If you connect to something fronted by CloudFlare your ISP can see you connecting to CF, if they provide your DNS then they can see what you're connecting to that's fronted by CF.
A subtle yet important distinction.

Ignoring that, switching from your ISPs DNS prevents all kinds of shit they like to do like redirecting to ads on an unknown domain.
Sanakirja gets its full concurrency model
Really biased, but I feel OctoberCMS wins in terms of ease. As mentioned before in this thread, OCMS can handle everything you throw at it, without loosing its structure or ease of access. I feel that with Wordpress there's such a lack of proper (clean) structure, that it gets in the way when developing.

But then again, I guess every well structured framework / cms would win if you compare it against Wordpress.

"Nice plane you have here.

What reason do you have to believe that?
I take your point, but it's really not practical.

Any large codebase is nearly impossible to scour for this kind of thing, particularly a web browser which is an immense mound of source. There's so many ways to build in a backdoor, so many ways to build a way for you to later load a back door, that it's not plausible, even for a seasoned developer, to reliably find it.

You have to stop such things with source control. The surface area of a new fix or feature is much easier to analyze for vulnerabilities, intentional or not. I do this on a daily basis, and it takes work.
Agreed. I have a subset of these installed and it forces me to switch to an unblocked Chrome multiple times per day.

It does force me to evaluate whether I really need access to something, but it's a hurdle.
You want to see a real abuse of YAML? Take a look at SaltStack's Jinja rendered YAML. I just grabbed a random forumla as an example: https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/openssh-formula/blob/m...
As I said there are two best, plus the worse third variant. Not implemented by google, only described, but now apparently implemented in Rust. Haven't checked closely, because Rust is kinda unreadable compared to C what exactly is going on. Need to see the SIMD assembly also.

For a machine as complex as the Saturn 5 rocket, it is truly a credit to the builders that it never suffered a major failure in any of the manned missions. Same for the LM rocket which returned the astronauts to the command module. Both had to absolutely work and both did.

By sleeper car, train is luxurious and much more relaxed. By vehicle you can sleep each night in a hotel and take a shower each day. Both have + and -'s. But my ranking would be Sleeper Car train > Driving > non-sleeper car train.

Trains can be much more social.
I highly agree with inappropriateness of YAML for GitLab CI/CD configuration. It does work for simple use cases and/or in small repositories - however, doing something slightly more complicated than a simple build/test/deploy pipeline takes an immense effort, with a range of hacks and workarounds.

Even the simplest things, like passing some data (e.g. a link) from one job to another requires quite an overhead (either using artifacts, storing it somewhere in KV or even something worse).

Moreover, .gitlab-ci.yml is one and only entry-point for the CI configuration, so everything goes into it. Yes, it does have concept of includes, but even that is quite limited and not sufficient for any reasonable workflow.
As someone who worked in a restaurant for six years, I strongly disagree.

Working for tips is great. Taking away tips will mean a net reduction in wages. Your "fair wage" will almost always be less than I would have made in tips, even at a cheap buffet-type joint. Whether or not tipping is an 'anachronism from slavery' or not, it doesn't feel that way. It feels like I'm actually getting paid for my work.

That said, losing restaurants is perfectly fine with me. People are too obsessed with eating out. More people need to prepare their own food more often.

Interconnects like that are quite unusual. For example the autopilot is typically driven from either the same data source as pilot or the co-pilots system. There are some exceptions, for example in full auto-land mode both systems are engaged. But that really is an exception, only a fraction of the worlds runways have CATIII certification and they require special ground operations to support them.

There are procedures designed to ensure the systems agree on certain critical data, for example the 'pilot not flying' will usually call out 80 knots and cross check that the speed agrees between both sides.
This is so unfortunate, but I'm not surprised. What kind of poor management, when met with an efficiency that could double an employee's output by automating their current job, limits it back to the 50% efficiency? I've met some managers like that...
