The only reason for this is that power changed from Romans to tribes in Northern Europe. If you trace genealogies, you'll see that modern families descend from tribal leaders in Northern Europe, and these ancient kings had nothing to do with the old power elites of Rome. Of course, the thing is not so simple, because with the help of Catholic Church there were some marriages arranged between the so-called barbarian rulers and noble families in Rome. So the powerful Roman families still survive in some way, but not in a direct lineage like it was before the fall of Rome.
> Are you saying that, sitting on a civil jury hearing a lawsuit at some future date, you'd conclude that Mario - one of the most recognizable fictional characters in the world - is no longer a trademark of Nintendo because a third party made a C64 clone of the game?

No, but if hundreds or thousands of third parties are left free to brand their games "Super Mario" it may have an adverse effect on the claim to the mark, which when someone uses the mark to compete with Nintendo in an actually substantial way may be used to their defense.

The harm done by surveillance societies is not completely subjective. People are suffering. Their suffering due to surveillance-pervasive society is objectively bad. And if you want to argue that people should suffer and that is a good thing, we have gone off the rails into a discussion of morality, a discussion I would be shocked to have here.

I think it is safe to say that intentional and targeted suffering of minority groups directly due to our surveillance society is objectively bad. The only wiggle room here is, as you said, the existence of people who believe that targeting minorities for suffering is a good thing but I surely and dearly hope that we can still call those abhorrent ideas "objectively bad".

>You will jeopardize the anonymity of family members

Too late for me. I have 7 siblings and 4 half siblings. I have 10 aunts and uncles who are blood relations (I'm not including their spouses) and about 70 first cousins. Plus my parents and grand parents. To the best of my knowledge, almost all of them have had their DNA work done by ancestry and 23andme. The family has a lot of doctors (some of whom are boarded in genetic medicine) that think everyone (not just in the family, but literally everyone) should get their DNA tested to help answer questions about family history, migrations, diseases, etc. I'm considered odd because I don't want to get mine done, though it's probably pointless since so many people that share my DNA have already done it.

It's not wrong for me to say, "no, you've never done this sort of thing before, you consider it too hard to do in an hour? You might not be the best fit"
Well, wealth during that period was determined by military power, not by an International system as we now know. Without a good army there was no way to maintain land ownership, for example. Similarly, slaves could only be maintained by the threat of armies. Therefore, all the fabulous wealth of Roman families declined to practically nothing with the end of the Roman Empire.

Because I’m economical and it’s typically quite expensive to be picky about which planes to fly. I’m also not panicking at the odds - even a plane with 10x the average risk of crashing has a low risk of accidents. The problem here is the rather small sample size given how young this plane is. A 100x risk would be hard to swallow.

EU e-commerce credit card transactions currently often redirect to the bank providing your card to authenticate before accepting the payment. The UX is very poor. The beneficiary of the check is the bank, but they tell you it is done for your own security.

For some reason, financial institutions are well trusted in Europe, regardless of recent behaviour.

Ask HN: Better GitHub issue/comment search
I'm having a pretty terrible experience using Github for a project with many comments per issue (30-150). The problem is with searching through issue comments:

1. The issue search doesn't display snippets of comments

2. The global search https://github.com/search displays only a single snippet per issue

3. Because of 1., I have to open the found issues one by one. But before I can "CTRL+F" I must click "Load more..." several times to ensure I'm searching through all the comments. Even finding and clicking all the "Load more..." links is challenging since they are displayed in various places and sometimes there's more than one such link.

Just disabling the "Load more..." links (ensuring all comments are loaded) would be a big help for me. Alternatively, I could use a 3rd-party Github client with a better search.

Anyone knows about something that could help?

The author says as much. The title is clickbait, but the article basically says you're locked into AWS no matter what, and arguing over stuff like Lambda lock-in is pointless considering the other avenues AWS already has you on (like IAM).

I've worn it camping. It helps to have a little water to rinse it out, but I think it's significantly better than having to carry tampons and figure out what to do with them after use. In fact I originally got it for a camping trip, as I didn't want to carry a lot of tampons (too much weight in my bag) and the thought of not having enough tampons was a nightmare.
Sure they are. This is the OPENING to a larger conversation. This is not, "get this right, and you're hired". I've yet to see anyone attempt it and NOT get it to work... the few that have put some quick logging and error handling were nice surprises and that drove the conversation when we got them on-site.
IIRC the biggest problem was cascading alarms -- that and the system's inability to either determine (I forget) or alert about the pilot stalling the craft over the din of all the alarms.
On a somewhat related note, for my purposes the real deciding factor in sticking with Scala/JVM for (production) Spark work is testability: With that setup, it's dead easy to fire up a local Spark context, run unit tests against it, and keep the tests running reasonably fast.

The cool thing about this craft is that it’s a glider and doesn’t use solar power for direct propulsion. Instead it uses the solar power to make the ballon lighter than air. Once it reaches altitude it will start gliding by making the ballon heavier than air. While gliding it can reach very fast speeds. The question is though how many times it needs to refill the ballon during the night and if the stored power is enough.

When you read that chapter in K-12, the textbook was no doubt very clear to put the Dark Ages in context of European history... you, and many other students, simply forgot. An elaborate or nuanced name wouldn't have helped retain time/location.

To be fair, other regions of the world have never heard of "the Dark Ages". History is too big for the layman to avoid simplification.

That's a good point. Unfortunately this leads to another cause of destabilization at the end of the Roman Empire: Christianity. You see, Christians precipitated the destruction of the pagan culture, which was the only culture shared by all people in Europe. Not only Roman history and culture was almost erased in that change, but also the oral traditions of nations around the Roman Empire that were also converted by the Christian Church. Of course, the ascension of Christianity as a power is also a result of the decline of Rome itself, so it is not like Christianity caused this, but it was a big factor in the cultural destruction that occurred at that time.

At least here in Finland SEPA direct debit is usually disabled by default for extra security* as domestic shops do not use it (we have redirect-based bank buttons instead) and with foreign ones one usually uses card instead.

So not really an option of choice in entire EU unless something changes - you don't want to tell your customers to enable something on their bank account first before purchase.

But VISA/MC debit cards are extremely common here, so I guess card+SEPADD might cover most people in EU. Though I think many people here are vary of entering their card details online as they are not used to that (then again, I guess the advent of Netflix and others must've made more people familiar with that).
