Something I've never liked about YAML, and I've not found a way around, is that you can't know if you have the entire file because there isn't an end marker. If someone cut'n'pastes a block of YAML you don't know if they missed a bit off the end by mistake (unless you know the schema). That makes it harder to debug problems with YAML config.

As someone has taken coach class from LA to NY, I'll add that one night aboard the Lakeshore Limited was worse than two nights aboard the Southwest Chief. Smellier, smaller bathrooms, no lounge car, and uninteresting views.
I don't know the data, but you are probably right. Although at the same time Amsterdam has very little large buildings, so I don't know how much those large building increasing prices would put a lot of stress on the market overall.

Again I don't know, so you are probably right.
Yes you’re right. I missed the “” in your comment and failed at reading comprehension
IMO the only way to decentralize the web is to rovide tech that has better uX than centralized solutions and that's hard. Centralization didn't arise because companies are evil, it did because decentralization is inherently complex. Preventing decentralization is another story, though. IMO technology is not enough here, we need the law too. I don't mean regulation, god forbid, that will only make it worse. I mean something like inter-server agreements saying that a server may not lock users in etc. with the appropriate legalese. Those could be enforced i.e. by only federating with servers that send an "agrees-to: <list of sha xxx license hashes>" header. Getting people to adopt it is another story, though.
Hi! Yes I agree its entirely possible that renewables will make a big impact and that should be encouraged. I'm sure in Australia with enough backing they could get to 30% or even 50%.

I'm sure you realize though that even 80% renewables has some huge challenges with storage. Its hard to guarantee power will always be there. There are a lot of hot nights with no wind.

Combined with Australia having some of the cheapest coal in the world, such headlines are just click bait.
I certainly wouldn't ask you to bug him, but you might mention to him that there are lots of people who would find anything he has to say about his involvement with Apollo (and the space program in general) fascinating. His stories are important and interesting, even if he doesn't think they are. I wish I had a pointer to somebody who is collecting this history before it's lost. (I wish I had the time and financial freedom to be doing that!)
Wow, from the article:

> In rural areas folklore often claimed this condition was not just peculiar to cattle, but extended also to human twins; this belief perpetuated for generations, as was mentioned in the writings of Bede. (de Albuquerque, Martim Notes and Queries Volume 2. 1857 by Oxford University Press, p. 149)

Actual observed effect that has now been confirmed by science? Or, a superstition that got lucky?
There are lots of things to unpack here.

Your original claim was that the people had "[not been] listened to in any way". My singular claim was that in fact they had been listened to at least in some way.

> Even ignoring all the illegality and fraud about the referendum

Something is illegal if deemed so by law and potentially affirmed by courts. If this is indeed the case, there should be proceedings that show this to be so. Something doesn't become illegal just by declaring it as such.

> large portions of british citizens living abroad were prevented from having a say

This is merely an anecdote, but I am a Brit living in the US and I got the chance to submit my Remain postal vote.

> ignoring the arguments about 16-year-olds who it would be directly affecting because of the time lags

This is the nature of every election and every vote. e.g. the poll tax was introduced in 1990 which had widespread ramifications for years to come, and impacted many people that couldn't vote in the prior 1987 general elections. The referendum is no different. This is just the way of democracy.

> Democratic governments aren't supposed to have one vote then completely ignore the rest of the population.

The government actually held a second vote - the general election requested by May in 2017. In that vote, despite winning a smaller plurality, the Tories were still re-affirmed. If everything you say is true, then the popular will would have selected Labour as an overwhelming majority. While the Tory victory was marginal, they still beat Labour.
This is a nice and simple solution! Just keep in mind that it'll interact badly with the browser's scroll-to-hash functionality.

A full solution is a little more tricky, and probably involves code on multiple components:

- You'll need something to scroll to the top or the current hash on load
- You'll also need code on <Link> components to check if they link to the current URL/hash, and if they're pointing to the current hash, you'll need to scroll to it on click.

It's frustrating because it just translates into making Google harder to use, and multiple searches for the same thing are now common. I often see, on a four word search, the top five or so results all having "Missing: word3 word4". I often search for "<thing> <thing I would like to known about it>", and Google goes "Here's some general information about <thing> instead". It's not _useful_.
> Yes, and we liked it.

The Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society, or, in short the "Copyright directive" was from 2001. You adhered to that on joining in 2004.

The current proposal build on and extends that, so, in conclusion, you didn't actually have that up until now.

> See how countries are represented in the EP.

Fortunately another poster did your homework for you: "In the countries with 10 million population, you have roughly 500k people per MEP. In Germany & France, it's 850k."

But regardless, MEPs are part of European parties, which, to exist, need to represent a cross section of EU countries. EU matters are sometimes instigated by countries, but signed off on by international political blocks. There are anti-EU parties for you to vote on.

> On top of that, our country is economically tightly tied to Germany and France and their investors

A terrible thing that, employment and economic stability. Fortunately, you can elect a government that throws them out, together with the EU, and nationalise all their property and do it your way. Venezuela did exactly that, and you could join them in their glorious ascent to complete sovereignity.

Citation needed, and I sure hope you're not thinking of "Brexit" as some sort of example here.

Except for the "our people" and the "noble blood of our forebears" and the "insidious foreign influences" bits.
> 'such a deleterious effect'

This phrasing is really not accurate. It's a small difference, trivial, dwarfed by things like socioeconomic status, educational opportunities, rearing environment quality, presence of an alcoholic parent, nationality etc.

Trey got too drunk. Trey couldn't remember where he was staying. Trey tried (unwittingly) to break into the poor woman's house. hell, Trey was the one who decided to go to the wedding in the first place. it's Trey's fault.

it doesn't seem like you actually disagree, but I wasn't sure where to put this post in the somewhat disjointed thread.
Yeah it's dumb, but to be fair this is something where we get to have our cake and eat it too. The moralizers / religious / people fairly concerned about drunk driving get to feel good and maybe have a positive effect, and everyone that is 18-21 still gets ready access to alcohol at school where the need to drive is substantially reduced. Whenever I wanted to get alcohol at school, I could easily get it and the situation was the same with all of the friends I knew at other universities. If you don't go to school you get access through work friends.
While I agree with you on the notes aspect of this (and have always used pen-and-paper notes), I do think that the setup described here would be quite useful for authoring papers -- I've always found it is way too painful to write out math-mode equations in LaTeX.
In other words, the author has no mathematical examples to support the argument, and the objection is purely philosophical...
> Your opinion could be anywhere between "money buys you property rights" to "land is owned by living on it" and you wouldn't be objectively wrong in any case, since you're making a moral argument.

Even that sort of moral argument is short-sighted because natives benefit a lot by investments by foreign capital owners, specially in real estate.
> which still may give pilots just enough time to abort take-off

Airliners are committed to takeoff by the point of rotation. Typical ops manuals would abort for any warning before 80kts, at a speed known as V1 they are committed (even in case of engine failure) this typically occurs 10-20kts before rotation speed where the pilot initiates lifting the nose.

>An accurate analogy, although a better HN automobile analogy in the sense of more accessible to the general public would be trying to drive SUVs like cars results in rollover accidents.

That analogy implies that the pilots were trying to fly the plane in a way that it couldn't handle. A better analogy would be a safety mechanism on the SUV that prevents drivers from turning too sharply and rolling over. The crashes are caused by that system incorrectly measuring the turn rate, forcing the car to drive straight, and have it run off the road.

Really, there's nothing wrong with the MCAS system in theory. Plenty of planes require computer controlled inputs to fly safely. The problem is in the execution. The base model lacks redundancy and pilots weren't trained well enough to handle the system malfunctioning. And in the case of the Lion Air crash a poor safety culture.

Honestly, the problem is probably already solved at this point. Correcting the issue that caused the crashes is simply flipping a switch. The issue is identifying what's causing the control issues to know which switch to flip. Every pilot should be hyper aware of the potential issue and they'll be able to easily diagnose and fix in flight issues.
Thanks for the advice — I'll try that.

Thank you for the analogy. To apply it to my situation, I have several piles of stuff (my projects) and one of these piles is smoldering. Not a full-blown fire yet, but it already sucks plenty of oxygen (money) from the room, and the smoke is getting more dense. I must pay attention.
The reason why they don’t ask you is you are (most likely) a westerner. In my experience if you are an underage looking japanese buying alcohol alone, they most likely will ask your age.

And drunk driving in japan? It’s much more common than you would think.
Dhall is nice that it can natively support configuration migrations via total functions. For example Config1 can be migrated to Config2 by applying a function that always completes. It's also possible to constrain that function so it must accept Config1 and return Config2.

Dhall supports functions from URLs and it's good to pin them using SHA hashes of their internal representation.

And it appears nobody factors in the cost of nuclear electricity the cost of associated with non-zero probability of a malfunction, or dealing with the long-term storage of nuclear waste.

I do not understand how spending 2 billion on a plant and 50 billion in case of a major meltdown is better that putting 2 billion into covering the country in solar panels and batteries.

The reason, as many commenters have said, is the vested interest of powerful players.
I'm sure a good percentage of prisoners are there due to one stupid mistake, and many (hopefully most), leave prison reformed, or even enter prison reformed. I'm 100% for giving ex-cons a helping hand, and for offering training while they are prisoners - coding, of course, why not, it's a valuable skill.

But that's not at all the same thing as having them sit monitoring/dev-oping production systems, which on the one hand is exploiting the prisoners, and on the other, exposes an obvious channel for un-reformed criminals to exploit.

So yeah, prisoners doing devops work (rather than just devops training) is a dumb idea.

Totally. And yes, no guarantee that battery storage will reach those price levels needed (i.e. if volume dries up).

However, for the last 20 or so years there were chants about the end of Moore's Law. Still appears to be going strong, "somehow".

My take on battery storage: several incremental developments coming down the pipeline on the anode and cathode side of li-ion batteries (improved chemistries, less cobalt, increased silicon %, new electrolyte mediums, etc). Combined with the "coming surge" of li-ion batteries and development for upcoming EV models with billions invested in new battery factories, it's hard to not see significant changes to the price within even a decades time.

The first step would be admitting that capitalism is far from perfect and that we should start looking to change it.

Of course, a sustained decades-long propaganda campaign has been waged to portray capitalism as not only 'the natural way' but also as being 'simply the only option', as if it is axiomtically good and natural.

Some have even tried to spin it as capitalism being a core part of the human condition, and fighting against it resulting in things like the millions dead under communist economic mismanagement.

I personally think you'd have to be a moron to believe that capitalism is the same as simple trade which humans have been doing for millenia, especially considering capitalism is a man-made economic concept that originated in the 1700's and has an actual dictionary definition; but it seems we are surrounded by the gullible.

I don't have an alternative system ready for you. I'm not a political scientist or a revolutionary. That doesn't mean I can't see when something isn't working for everybody and needs improvement.

The biggest disservice we have done to ourselves is to believe free-market fundamentalists like Hayek, Friedman, Thatcher ansd Reagan when they told us that there is simply no alternative.

Friedman's monetarism has been widely discredited as bullshit by now. It's time to question the rest of the neoliberal ideology.

What’s more criminal is not buying the extra safety features. Creating safety features, while important, is not free. Someone has to pay for it, no matter how many lives they save. Hard to fault Boeing there.

It’s like side air bags in cars. Some have them, some don’t, but if you want them you will pay an extra 2 grand as each airbag unit is easily a grand each, and must be replaced completely if it ever deploys. If you buy your teenager a car you can decide if you will pay extra for those safety features.

I'd like to know what this means on a practical level.

Say you had depression and/or anxiety. What does that mean? Are there tests you should run? Is there any point telling your doctor about it?
I'm sure if Boeing had correctly described the lack of these features as potentially crashing the airplane, these airlines would have bought them. As it is, hundreds of people had to die because Boeing wanted to make a little extra cash selling essential, potentially life saving features as add-ons. If that's not criminal, I don't know what is. Of course, I would bet money that no one is held responsible for this, as usual. We probably won't even get a canned apology. This airplane design should be grounded permanently. If Boeing is willing to let hundreds die by making critical systems optional, who knows what other issues the plane has that will kill even more people? There should also be an investigating into how this plane was certified, as clearly regulators failed to do their job and check Boeing's greed. The CEO and people at Boeing responsible for this plane should face criminal charges as well as anybody in the regulatory bodies who decided to certify this plane buying Boeing's claims that it was just another 737 when that is not the case. Without criminal charges, Boeing and other companies are going to continue to play with people's lives to make a few extra bucks.
