That's why we have regulations for how much fuel you must have when you land. So safety is not much of a concern. Many airlines already fly on the limits here by taking off with as little fuel as possible to minimize weight. E.g. Ryan Air and other budget carriers have been disciplined for this. So, this wouldn't be that much of a change. Flying to and from destinations outside the EU burns a lot of fuel and taking off extra heavy means you burn more fuel as well (especially during takeoff, which is when you burn a lot of fuel). So, overall, airlines would be looking to save fuel; not to fly it in unless that would align really well with schedules. For most short haul routes, detours would not make sense and for most long haul routes stop overs don't make much sense either.

I'm not sure why you think an A/B test is not covered by

> the study ... of overt or observable actions and mental phenomena inferred from behavior

but it seem to me to be the very thing targeted by this legislation. I agree that the end result: Google disclosing 100k A/B tests each quarter is a grotesque tax on private industry without any social gain. However, it doesn't strike me as terribly out of line from other legislation in its effect.

I don't think I've ever seen anything but glowing praise for Lisa Su on hacker news.

Then again, HN seems to discuss her less than Marissa Mayer. Why is that? She's far more successful. When I think great women leaders in tech, she's the first I think of. Anti-hardware bias maybe? Or maybe it's a valley bias. After all, she came out of MIT rather than Stanford and lives in Austin rather than San Francisco. I don't know, what do you think?
> As for CO2, the plane flying slower is more fuel-efficient. Isn't this lower CO2 emissions?

It is not only about fuel. Right?
Article is talking about punctuality. People will use competitors if an airline is not on-time. So with padding they create a safety gap to make sure they arrive on-time.

I believe 15mins safety gap is fair as it is extremely difficult and expensive to always operate on-time without a major airport redesign and technological advancement in how the system works. It gives passengers a reliable arrival time to plan whatever they have next.

I have to say, the movie poster example does it no favors. But, then again, it seems to be most movie poster designer's prerogative to turn credits into vertical lines.

I'm partial to Futura and Gill Sans when it comes to sans-serif fonts. For display stuff, that is. Akzidenz-Grotesk is a pretty good text sans-serif.
I'm a motorcyclist as well, and I've often wondered about trying to pitch a vigilante hardware product to our police force. I'd build a product around a button that when pressed marks the previous 15s plus the next 15s of helmet-cam footage as a candidate, then uploads that somewhere when the camera is next being charged. If the police would accept a clear camera recording of a numberplate plus a person using their phone, they could make back the cost of supplying the hardware to any motorcyclist who offers to be a vigilante in a matter of days.
Most internet sites don't _need_ a database.

Right, and the rest of them—a very significant portion—do. And yes, I realize that it's possible to use JS to fetch from anywhere, but what I'm wondering is what people are thinking when talking about Netlify.

Are they thinking that this isn't really for database-backed websites but can be used if some other Netlify advantage justifies putting your database and the server code that uses it in different timezones? Or is it the opposite, that this is actually a better way of managing a database-backed website?

What is the positioning of this new type of managed hosting with respect to websites that depend on databases full of, say, customer data? It seems as though that would be a FAQ, not an exotic niche.

As someone who also has aphantasia, I have a very good sense of direction. For me I think I feel a sense of direction in my body the same way you might feel a blanket on a side of my body. And am also good at recognizing objects and feeling their location in relation to my transit around it...

If that makes any sense.

Hmm, I've never heard anyone hold this viewpoint in person and I've certainly used my phone at the urinal (and seen countless others do the same) enough times that I think it'd have come up.

I don't mean to say it's not a valid concern, I just think that it can be done in a way which makes it clear that one is not doing anything weird.

I honestly wasn't trying to be combative. I tried to make my comment just long enough to give context (showing my understanding of the solution and the assumptions I'm making). I'm not trying to interject my opinion, but see where my assumptions might be wrong.

I agree long wandering threads are difficult to follow.

I have little interest in new C++ build systems, but will jump in and contribute when I see a familiar problem I want to learn more about like managing sizable Python codebases. Python 2/3 isn't relevant at all to meson and I don't see the docs mentioning any need for version or package management. I've only ever heard/seen virtualenv needed in project management, never in distributed software. Is your beef with Python or any software using an interpreted language? Outside of the 2to3 transition and being deeply integrated in many distros, it has the fundamental problems other interpreted languages have and are handled in the same way.
Likewise, Microsoft has released a bunch of updated system fonts. Arial Nova, Georgia Pro, Gill Sans Nova, Rockwell Nova, and Verdana Pro.

Yes, imagine how much more efficient Microsoft and Apple would be if they could hire slaves directly instead of having to rely on warlords in Africa to do it for them.
Webforms was absolutely awful and I've worked with technologies so terrible they single handedly sank projects.[0] . But I've never found that modern .NET defaults were so terrible it wasn't made up for by the voluminous amounts of documentation(not just official documentation but stack overflows/blog posts etc) that you get from the default option. Whatever weird issue you end up running into there is a documented fix which can save anywhere from hours to days of time..

Not sure what you worked on but .NET has gotten better since 2016 but not by leaps and bounds(exception EF Core is leaps and bounds better than the prev. version). I've always thought asp.net mvc was good, newest one is better but not by a huge margin. Original EF was bad but EF Core is far better. TFS was mediocre but now everyone uses git. Typescript is absolutely delightful. Xamarin's kind of painful but all cross platform mobile development seems to be. Visual Studio is probably best in class of the heavy duty IDE's. I've heard complaints about nuget but it always seems reliable which is more than I can say about npm. The work item tracking kind of sucks but it makes up for it with streamlined integration from the IDE->commit->task tracking->time tracking->reporting->invoicing.

The part of the stack that always bothered me were the poorly designed DevExpress/Infragistics controls that were ubiquitous. They get weird impossible to debug errors. They seem to trade extensibility for endless amounts of configuration. But with modern .NET applications you don't see them anymore which has brought me great joy.

I am currently enrolled in that program. The program is great (I still don't believe it is so cheap). But it is not because of Udacity. It is great thanks to Piazza, professors, TAs, remote office hours, projects, students, Canvas, Slack groups, OMSCS subreddit, GaTech HPC clusters, remote labs, software licenses, student perks, and various other internal GaTech services. Udacity is just a small tool there to present a list of videos. Not a lot of professors use it for anything else. Hell, on Piazza for most courses you can even find a YouTube playlist because the Udacity web and mobile apps are incredibly bad compared to plain YouTube.
Sure, but there's zero excuse not to take the matter is seconds or requires to Google this demographic data.
I can definitely hear songs in my head. I can go one step further, I can "visualize" how to play the melody of the song I'm hearing on a guitar neck. The rest of my "visualization" skills are very poor, though. People here describe the ability to superimpose things on their field of view, for me it's nothing like that. For me, it's more like having a separate, super low resolution renderbuffer with a blur shader on it. I don't visualize things in the same scene as I see. I can definitely feel the scratchy tongue of my cat on the back of my hand, though :)

In the US, that was mostly due to gas replacing coal. France is not using renewables. This is great, but not due to renewables as you initially claimed. Also, I don't think the share of bitcoin mining is significant in these examples.

I was asking for a country that managed to reduce their CO2 emissions significantly with renewables. It may happen in the future, and I'm certainly hoping for it, but we don't have a large-scale concrete example yet.
Money laundering is actually also covered in the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, Part 7. It is defined in the most abstract term possible. That is done in order to make the example you provided an offense as well:

"A person commits an offence if he enters into or becomes concerned in an arrangement which he knows or suspects facilitates (by whatever means) the acquisition, retention, use or control of criminal property by or on behalf of another person."

>>Why don't they pay labour $100M?

Because they'll go bankrupt. Big AG can afford to take loans or to buy machinery or to pay extra to labor, most others can't.
That's true, it's not the only reason. Dealing with threads and buffers and pthread_atfork and the associated heartbreak is a biggie also. But the performance is nothing to laugh at.

I just did a quick test, a 100mb process generally takes >2ms to fork, while a 1mb or less process takes 70us. It seems like its pretty much linear with process size.
I'd try and even use it because Electron-based Discord client acts like resource hungry pig on my machine, especially when I'm already running multiprocess browser and GW2 who happens to use CoherentUI to render some of its UI (which happens to be also based on Chromium fork), but: I'm afraid being banned and creating new account every now and then, getting onto servers, asking for invitations isn't something I'd like to do.

So, what are chances that Discord may feel "offended" by user login with and using Ripcord?

That's a good approximate, but I feel these kinds of "statements" are for a select few, and they'll have fun arguing the message's merits or lack-thereof. The rest of the world will continue on with these decisions of taste-makers serving as little more than a slight hum to the harmony of their lives.
Maybe I'm just old but I miss the old MoinMoin syntax. A lot of markups are so complicated (mediawiki) I'd rather just write HTML.

For my personal notes I now just use vim and a custom syntax file to give color to special names and headings. I've used markdown before but it seemed like different tools treated the language slightly different.
Yeah, differences are astounding. I, for example, can imagine a ball in my hand, but there's just, er, an idea of a ball in my hand, no colors, no textures, no outline, just a feeling where it is and vague imaginary weight.

I have to distract from looking at my hand, if I try to imagine the ball in more details.

Replicator tech isn't coming down the line. In the meantime yes in a bath of chemicals you can produce an overpriced engineered patty of cells. This is highly processed food and I can't wait to see what cost cutting and business optimization will do to this ethical food.

In the meantime automation most likely means more chemicals, more genetic engineering, more intensive agriculture.

Why can we get away with all of this? Well because it works. That's its claim to fame. For how long? No clue. But for now it works and feeds billions and generates profits, at least for the billion dollar corporations at the very top of the game... at what cost? We don't have to actually account for those, we'll just declare bankruptcy and the profits will already be doled out.
Between the `fork()` and an `exec()`, I can:

* redirect stdin, stdout, and stderr
* open files that might be needed and close files that aren't
* change process limits
* drop privileges
* change the root directory
* change namespaces

And there are a few other things I am probably forgetting.
Man solves all problems by pretending there simply are none
Beyond the number of people killed--which is atrocious no matter how you try to downplay it--there are something like 2 million more people who are injured every year. I find it problematic that that's rarely mentioned, because the "30 to 40 thousand killed every year" figure makes the problem seem smaller than it is and makes it easier for some people to dismiss the scale of the problem.

There's injuries that never fully heal, trauma, lost wages, loss of a vehicle in some cases, the tremendous waste of resources from unnecessary repairs, etc, all from something that's mostly preventable (very few traffic collisions are true accidents).

Also, the comment you're responding to doesn't say anything about bicyclists, and I don't see anyone in this thread "pretending" they're blameless. And they yearly flu vaccines have a certain rate of effectiveness, which is somewhat less than 100% (the CDC says 40 to 60%).

"Rich Felker, May 24, 2015:
Some interesting preliminary timing of
@musllibc
's posix_spawn vs fork+exec shows it ~25x faster for large parent processes. (~360us vs 9ms). #glibc has a vfork-based posix_spawn but it's only usable for trivial cases; others use fork.

posix_spawn always uses CLONE_VM. This also means

That doesn't make them the authoritarian. By the way they are talking they obviously weren't writing ransom notes and holding the school hostage, they were poking around and exploring. While I can't say for sure, they likely just left a note saying "hey you should probably fix this" and the administration lost their shit.

Also a teaching moment surely isn't a suspension. That's how you burn any bridges towards getting the kid to learn. You said that in the real world you can't trample others' rights, well sure but it's kind of the point that high school isn't the real world. A teaching moment would be sitting someone down, getting them to admit/explain what they did, telling them that in the real world they would get in trouble, and pointing them towards a better outlet. Teach them what it means to be a white hat and send them on their way.
Statoil became Equinor in 2018, not 2007. Also, Equinor is still largely owned by the Norwegian government (67% as of 2017)
Same in the Netherlands. These types of backwards laws make America look bad.
Based on your argument though, the sensible way to do it would be to offer asylum predicated on some kind of IQ test to ensure that we’re getting all the Caucher Bitkars our there and not wasting too many resources on lesser intellects.

Indeed, what would really make sense is for developed countries to be actively working to apply IQ tests to every third-world shanty town out there, and actively paying high-scoring individuals to immigrate.

In the real world this kind of thing is generally considered somehow to be in bad taste, so most developed countries go about it in a rather more roundabout way. Still, any country which actively started recruiting would find themselves with a huge advantage (at least when it comes to Fields Medals).
I keep looking for excuses?

Let's recap:

I blamed the Motel 6 policy on the local ICE satrap. No you said, that is amazing mental acrobatics, it is Orange Man's fault. I point out the policy started out under Obama. You change the subject to the Border and accuse me of trying to pin Obama's policy on Obama. I never mentioned the Border, that was you changing the subject.

Wouldn't it been easier to just admit you didn't read the article carefully and you didn't notice the dates?

Maybe in your land admitting a mistake isn't allowed, perhaps there is this fear that it diminishes the Badness of Orange Man.
Displacing workers without considering the workers is an externality in action: everyone else picks up the cost. That's what I feel has happened every time work is automated: the specific company sheds labour cost and society at large has to remediate.

If we automate farm work equitably I'll be all in favour: the injury rates and low pay are horrendous. Equitably means we have to man up and address what happens to the farm workers.
Were you always this way?

I can still picture things in my head, but with huge gaps and difficulty; when I was a kid, I used to replay a 17km road to my grandparents with exquisite details in my head: the bus, the driver, walking down the isle, seating myself, the initial jolt, watching the road turn, every unique house, porch,bench, tree, telephone wires and so on and all without a conscious efort "what happens next" .

If I try real hard and ask myself questions like "ok, so now picture grandpa's mustache, now his hair, now his neck" then maybe I get a glimpse of his whole face.

My sister and I used to play a game as teenagers: one of us would closd his eyes, the other would narate a scene, it was pretty great.

In the 7th grade I was a 6/10 student at math, then trigonometry came and I was a 10/10 at trigonometry and 6/10 at algebra, because trigonometry made absolute sense because I could draw everything in my head; I needed tutoring with algebra, but never with trigonometry.

I also almost never remember any dreams; my rem and deep sleep are toast anyway, according to fitbit.

As opposed to my childhood when I woke up exactly once per night to drink water from the cup my grandma left beside the bed -- the rest of the night I had great adventures, I'd be chased my demons, fly across the clouds, escape some trap my grandfather told stories about.

Nowadays I get about 1 hour of tossing and turning througout the night, and depending on my anxiety I sometimes get completely wake for 1-2 hours at about 4AM; only about 1h of rem and 1h of deep sleep, the rest is just light sleep according to fitbit.
