I think I would agree with you, if she lost ...

However, the ruling suggests that her behavior was not antisocial by definition.

I have never thought to care about this issue, nor would I spend my time fighting it, but if the constitution is ruled to disallow this behavior her lawsuit was, again, by definition, a socially positive act ...

This type of policy is proven to be regressive because:

1) The really wealthy find loop holes.

2) It discourages saving and investment.

3) It encourages consumption and spending on frivolities.

Imagine if everybody would have to start from the ground up, we would rarely see any progress at all.

Sorry, why are you putting the word "journalist" in scare quotes? Is your assertion that Sam Sanders is not a journalist?

I think your interpretation badly misunderstands the relationship between journalists and sources quoted. Every reputable publisher has a strict separation between the advertising/business side of the organization and the editorial side.[0]

I'm guessing that shipping is the biggest part of the cost? I see that a 10lb box is only $5 more than a 5lb box...
I'm not sure I even understand what your point is now.

Public spending tries to account for quality all the time. Quality "metrics" of various sorts exist in lots of places and can always be evaluated (or found, then evaluated, as may often need to be the case) when making trade-offs.

In the case of public parking, there are ways to improve "quality" by reducing overall parking pressure at specific locations by "moving" it to other areas, such as park-and-ride combinations with public transportation, improving access to site-to-site ground transportation (bicycles, scooters, wheelchairs, segways, what have you), and just improved public transportation in general.

Quantity is often an easier metric to optimize for because it's always a number, but that's all the more reason for public spending to find ways to do the hard thing and optimize for quality. That's why we elect people to work on hard problems and care so much about public spending.

Purchased a Roccbox last year and it's a fantastic well designed portable pizza oven. Used it a ton of times and have loaned it to family and they loved it. Although I has only used the gas burner attachment I like having the wood rocket stove option. Worth the money.

I also own a custom cut baking steel for indoor cooks and bread.
Not if you can re-establish credentials after selling them and cast a second vote that silently spoils whatever the buyer sends. Though that might count as electronic-in-person, as you'd need some unsellable credential (e.g. live video of you showing your ID and the date-time, sending a fingerprint, etc) which can take precedence over the one you sold (a username/password, an earlier-dated video/fingerprint/whatever, etc).

But then I guess the buyer just waits til the deadline, and buys the live video of you establishing credentials and casting your vote for them, so you can't fraud them... seems a lot more convoluted though.
It's possible if you learned matrices outside the context of a linear algebra class that you might be mystified about what's actually happening.

I took Linear Algebra the same semester I took Computer Graphics, which worked out really well for me - the first half of LA taught me everything I needed to know about transformation matrices, and the second half of CG covered 3D graphics in OpenGL. The first half of CG was all 2D graphics stuff, and the second half of LA was about eigenvectors/values - I've forgotten everything from that part of the class.
How close is M&T's operation to "organic"? I know some farmers follow a lot of the practices, but don't necessarily want to bother with the cost & hassle of the formal certification.

We've been able to return most Amazon Prime items to Kohls here in SoCal for a while. When you drop off the return they hand you a 25% off coupon for anything in the store. There has been several times that I've browsed the store and bought something because of that coupon.

So basically, Kohl's gets foot traffic and some purchases that they wouldn't have seen otherwise. Seems like a very smart and adaptive move on their part.
What's Chrome's strategy with HTTPS? The text is scarily blurry:

> And of course, Lite mode will continue to respect your privacy. When Chrome optimizes an HTTPS page, only the URL is shared with Google and other information such as cookies, login information, and personalized page content is not shared with Google. We never break secure connections between Chrome and a website.

In the past, HTTPS was always kept untouched. Since it's nowadays "HTTPS everywhere", I wonder how they decide which information is "sensitive" and which not. Don't even start with arguing that cookies are, but PNGs or JS is never sensitive.

What if the pavement is wet? What if there's ice or snow? Will chalk hold up then? What if there is no pavement? Dirt roads, brick roads, or even grassy areas can all be used for parking.

Tire rubber is constant across all these environments. That's what makes the chalking approach work so well. Whatever replaces it must be equally ubiquitous.

$5 for a cup of coffee? Where is it that expensive?
2) You don't have to re-register every year, but everytime I walk in the door it's more expensive than last time. I go through a lot of vehicles.

3) Fair enough, but I'd still rather have less insurance and I'd like state vehicles to have whatever I have.

4) There are 16 tolls in Boston alone. https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/08/22/how-much-will-y...

5) I flip cars all the time, and it's irrelevant. I bought the car with cash, paid to register it, paid the sales tax with cash, pay tax whenever I buy gas, pay tolls whenever I go somwhere... Why does the town need to make money off my car when the state already has 4 times?

You can have metered parking without forcing taxpaying people to pay for it. What if you just made the price for a 2h parking slip $0? You still have meter maids giving out tickets, right? I thought it wasn't about the revenue..... right?
> as terrible as a shell scripting language

That's a strong opinion. I'm not going to argue for lack of time, but suffice to say that 99% of my interactions with my computer and sometimes with my phone is with a shell scripting language. Shell scripting is awesome.

> Have you ever read through a gnu configure file yourself,

Yes. Generated scripts make for a boring read.

> or do you just close your eyes and type "./configure"?

I do, from people I chose to trust, whether by running the package build scripts written by the package maintainers of my distribution or from github accounts that I judge as trustworthy.

There is a lot of trust involved in using a computer. I mean, if something nefarious might be in the ./configure script, it's more likely to also be in a precompiled program, since more people touched it.

> Who in their right mind would ever write a shell script,

I do.

> when there are so many real scripting languages that don't terribly suck universally available,

Each language is good for different reasons. Shell languages are meant primarily to be used interactively, as opposed to languages like python or ruby. The fact that you can put your everyday interactions in a file and run that is an added bonus.

> that don't shit themselves when they encounter a file name with a space in it?

I rather not have filenames with spaces if it means having a language that allows me to communicate with my machine in a terse manner, allowing for super-easy automation of all sorts of interactions.

I mean, are you really suggesting to mandate quoting of all strings in a shell language? The quotes are optional. That's good! In a shell language, files are basically your variables, so why would you want more syntax around your variables when working interactively?

> Nope, well... Maybe next year! I've been eyeing Rust for embedded but until there are major players shipping IDEs that natively support it

It is not obvious to me what more can the Rust team do here; it would seem like the ball is in the vendors court (or whoever counts as "major player"). Plenty of the groundwork has been already accomplished, and the embed-wg continues on their good work but they can't just conjure vendor support out of thin air
Your car is parked in a public space. A dog could walk by and mark it. No wanting something to happen is quite different from having a reasonable expectation it won't happen.

Kyllo was decided by a narrow 5-4. That case was by far stronger. It involved a person's home, first of all. And as I mentioned, it involved the use of sophisticated equipment not generally possessed by the public. Without the camera, the police would have to enter the house to obtain the same information. One can therefore establish an equivalence between the two acts. In the present case, such equivalence does not exist. The police could conceivably just stare at the car for an hour or two. Chalking is thus only a time saver. It's not a search.
You realise you're talking about building regulations that already exist?

I take it then, you're of the opinion we should have no regulations at all?
Rust is the only serious attempt to fix those negatives while remaining in the same niche, so bringing it up in this context is natural.

And C++ can't really truly fix them without breaking backwards compatibility with all the legacy C++ and C code, which is its main selling point.
People say that it was the combination of people with different skills that made CS Lab special. For example, Joe used to say that the critical part of system design is to identify the "error kernel" that has to be correct and then make sure that some specific person (Magnus Fröberg? Per Hedeland?) is the one who writes all of that code. Some people just have a different knack and can do things that other people can't.

Great that Francesco has the special skill to capture the spirit of those times so well as a blogging ambassador to the rest of us now so many years in the future. I bet nobody was conscious that they needed this particular skill at the time.
It seems like operating an online business is 5% software hackery and 95% finding a cool thing to sell, finding a supplier, building a supply chain and fulfillment system, and customer support. Think about it like this: if you can find a thing to sell on a street corner, you can sell it online. Seriously. Say you found these awesome fucking USB-C cables for about $1/each from a Chinese supplier. You think people will pay about $15/each for them, so you set up `awesome-fucking-cables.com` and start selling them. Registering a domain and setting up a web shop is the easy part, but it tends to be what people focus on.

Some ideas of the stuff you could sell:

- Kombucha

- Specialty sodas

- Heirloom seeds

- Specialty light bulbs and/or batteries

- Spice packets

- Carpet cleaning powder

- Dice

- Specialty candles

- Prepared origami paper

- Specialty pens/pencils/crayons

- Funky hair accessories (someone recently asked me why there aren't many superhero themed ones because it would be a huge market)
Wow, thanks! I'm cured!

Who knew all I needed to do was "let go". I never would've thought. Despression, suffering, whatever. Just let go!

What a grossly oversimplified view of mental health.

What happens, often, is that when someone isn't able to just "let go" (because, it's hard to just "let go" when facing depression or other mental illness) they feel even worse because all these blogger-influencer people make it seem like it should be the easiest thing in the world. It's easy! Just let go! Want to stop suffering? Just stop!

These types of articles make people think support networks aren't needed, because you can just let go.

Just let go, and your cured!

Bonus points for the first half of the article pointing out people that have had it worse then you, but are fine. So, you have no excuse! Just toughen up and let go!
It was pretty straightforward. The return counter was right by the front door where you'd typically do other kinds of returns or exchanges, and after returning they give you a voucher for a percentage off purchases at Kohl's that day (20% off if I remember correctly).

What is odd is my most recent Amazon return they did not offer that store as an return option, instead my nearest drop off point was an Amazon Books location about 15 miles further away. I'd assumed the Kohl's experiment was over.

The taste is very subjective. Most folks simply say that the Vidalia is the sweetest/mildest of them all. The Walla Walla, Texas 1015, the Peru, the Maui sweet are all legit sweet onions, and are all quite good (I now buy & taste onions cause I'm curious).. Some sweet onions might have a slight bite on the front end, others might have a little burn on the back end. Then some are smooth the entire time you chew.. I'd say Vidalias tend to be mild the entire time you chew. That being said, Mother Nature is mother nature, and she's gonna do what she wants to do, taste wise.

I see. I would also consider an aborted lane change doing nothing. However, I wouldn’t try to jerk back into my lane if a car was approaching me with that kind of differential since a) they don’t have time to react and may have been planning to go into my origin lane, for all I know, and b) by the time such a fast car is spotted, they would likely pass my car too quickly for any lateral movement to leave their trajectory.

Your other examples would be happening in front of the car.
It's not that they CAN, its that they HAVE to.

A great teacher will be a great teacher with whatever you give them. But anyone not 100% tuned to that part of their teaching greatly benefits from some of the constraints that chalk gives them.

I'm a K-12 admin and once we had a HS teacher who was brilliant but her classes were often too difficult to follow for the kids. We just told her she couldn't use the powerpoint slides anymore. Yes, there was a huge discussion of timing and pedagogy and all of that, but ultimately, placing that constraint on her naturally put her at a much more equal footing to the students she was trying to teach.

Why would it go through the same transition as tobacco? There is absolutely nothing good about tobacco. Meat however is nutritious, delicious, and healthy. I do agree with vegans that it is resource intensive compared with veggies. I will be happy to consume lab grown meat or veggie based meats as long as they don't have dangerous carbs and still taste as good as the original.

The best mechanism for that is old fashioned investigative work, e.g. in the North Carolina 9th district election.

The worry is that, if everything works this way, some of the indicators used to discover this sort of thing are diluted. E.g. the first indicators in the NC 9th case were that one county in this district had a lot more absentee ballots than elsewhere, and the absentee ballots favored one candidate by an implausible margin. If all ballots are absentee, the former measure becomes useless and the latter becomes a much weaker signal.

What people?
This article was an earthday content piece, but even by content-marketing standards it has a very high fluff:content ratio. Cloudflare's tl;dr is: 1) using edge caches makes you greener because you don't need to recompute on your own CPU's, and 2) we offset our energy with RECs. Oh, and of course they had to tie in Serverless in a half-hearted way.

The RECs bit is interesting, but the cache efficiency bit is about as interesting as saving energy by not washing your hotel towels every day -- technically true, but overuse that line and it smells like greenwashing.

More interesting topics would be talking about how to move their operations energy balance from RECs to actual renewables. Google is legitimately the corporate leader in this space (and general-corporate, not just tech-sector-corporate) -- they've given lots of talks about how they went from REC offsets to buying stakes in renewable farms to now their goal is to match consumption with renewables every hour instead of every day/month (ie the time shifting of renewables issues). GCP's tagline is they're the greenest cloud provider... that line is cute too, but there's more legitimacy and seriousness behind that claim than a metaphorical "help us save water and energy by not washing towels every day" flyer.

Other more interesting takes on this topic are:

- optimizing data center operations to minimize energy (again google/deepmind wrote the classic "AI can save HVAC costs" whitepaper on this)

- actual placement of data centers around renewable hubs (when wind became a big industry in Iowa, for example, all the big tech companies brought some data centers there to take advantage of it)

- looking at energy across the entire company (eg Amazon not really doing much around electrifying the transportation its service depends on)

I don't think anybody is denying that C++ was (and is) unusually useful, simply by virtue of being the only serious game in town when you need that whole "don't pay for what you don't use" thing, and general performance stemming from that. And devising a better replacement that retains that feature is hard, which is why C++ had so much time to entrench.

But it doesn't mean that we can't do it better these days.
