* It costs money to check a bag. It costs nothing to carry it on.

* There is a non zero chance of a checked bag getting lost or damaged. The chances of that happening to a carry on are essentially 0.

* 15 minutes to get your checked bag may be the average. Sometimes the carosel has already started by the time I get there, but other times, I've waited nearly an hour (looking at you Salt Lake City).

So what your saying is that the cost + added risk + added time is worth it to you vs queueing at the gate to fight for overhead. I suggest you pay the $15 upgrade to get in the front of the queue instead of the $25 bag fee and just carry on.
Because they are not forced/required to. You can find that data in databases like crunchbase i think
Drinks at bars always seem far to expensive in my opinion. I just can't see how $13 for a drink that will last 15 minutes is worth it.
"I’m constantly impressed with how brave she is, I’m not sure I would be this strong under this much pressure."

she IS NOT brave, she is being stubborn and ruining her life because of it. testify, do what they want, and move on with your life.

people like her strive to be the center of attention and chaos, though negative, is still attention. we as a society should not be encouraging this behavior by saying she is brave.
Dribble no more: Physics can help combat that pesky “teapot effect”
It means you have to dimension your coal power plants so that they can cover the case where there is no wind and accept to not use them when there is plenty of wind.
And that does not sound economically good [1]:
"Fixed costs combined with lower running hours are devastating for coal power economics."
To be clear I am not advocating for using coal instead of renewables. However advertising a total amount of "clean" intermittent energy produced without talking about what happens the rest of the time is greenwashing.

Days Gone 1.08 Patch Notes Fixes Save, Fast Travel Progression Bug and More
Alcohol has never made sense to me. I've tried it over and over, especially in university, and I've never come to appreciate it. I'm 6'2 270lbs and about half a beer in I lose situational awareness and peak cognitive performance and feel vulnerable and it's just a really unenjoyable sensation.

But I always loved going to bars with friends and socializing. So this concept is quite exciting to me.
So, it's like a coffee shop before wifi.
I’d be interested in a non alcoholic stout that rivalled Guinness. Bonus points if it’s not a calorie bomb so I can drink a few. Highly improbable, I know— but I’d love it.

Try flavored seltzer (like la Croix). That's what we do as our beer substitute. It's cold, fizzy, and refreshing with no sugar.
The explanation is fine by itself, however Le Notre did the Versailles gardens and they look good and are in harmony with their surroundings. The Louvre pyramid is ugly and is in disharmony, which defeats the purpose of architecture. The explanation makes it feel like an even bigger failure somehow.
Back in the original rave days, a lot of ‘juice bars’ opened up that didn’t sell any alcohol, but nobody was sober inside.
I'm also a bit stumped.

Herearound a medium sized plane (A320, for example) takes 20 minutes to fill and there are no 8 (or some other ridiculous amount) of bording groups.

There are the high value passengers (business, gold status & above, family with kids), which present their bording passes to a real person and after that the automated gates open for us unwashed masses.

I think the cost in time and administrative overhead has a lot to answer for the length of the bording process in the US.

45 minutes for a non wide-body seems, well, a smidgeon excessive.

don't know why you're getting down voted. i thought HN was a forum for rational thinkers. seems the reddit squad is in full force.
As someone that flies short haul in europe fairly often by far the biggest factor for me is having to wait for my bag. Not only is it the entirely random amount of time it takes (from the luggage beating you there through to the best part of an hour) but it means I can't book an uber until after i've picked it up / anyone picking me up has gone over the N minutes free / I miss a train and have to wait 30 minutes for the next one.

Time on the flight seated is not lost. I can work from a laptop, read, sleep etc. Many airports outside of peak you can comfortably arrive less than 30 mins before the flight (easy if there is reliable public transport, quiet roads, your company is paying or its a €30 flight so you don't care too much if you miss it and have to get the next one).

Whereas the valuables problem is easily fixed. Phone in pocket and 14" laptop sleeve fits in the back of the seat or both in a much smaller bag.
...unless you use Google login or so. It's almost as if there is nothing to get by hacking SO. That's actually really good engineering.
Doesn't much matter on intra European flights.

There is usually no first and the difference between business and cattle class is a guaranteed free middle seat and better catering served on real glassware.

Seats are (except for slightly more legroom, which, alas, is the case until the exit rows) exactly the same.
I agree that it doesn't make sense to dismantle safe nuclear plants within their normal operating lifetime, but I'm not convinced it makes sense to build any more - and the lead time is about a decade!
Depression is contagious. Not in the germ-theory sense, but it is not uncommon that in relationships where a spouse develops severe depression the other one will go through that as well.

But yeah, it's not obvious that depression would spread e.g. within a class like a flu.
So, just like that Mercedes CLS I was talking about. It will keep itself in its lane and slow down for any speed limit that it detects. My point of that entire wall of text was that this detection of limits is unreliable, because in real life the signs are sometimes placed in such a way that the cameras detect them as applying for the road you are currently on while in reality they do not.

I get where you are coming from. And understand it isn't binary. I was hoping you knew what what the name of the various diagrams you asserted were being evaluated were.

I understand there are different levels of problematic behavoor, because something that causes a 3 degree uncommanded pitch over say 10 seconds is a sight less severe than one that does the same over 3 seconds.

I'm still not seeing anything that's significantly changing my mental model of this problem. Physically, legally and pragmatically speaking.

-The plane remains statically stable within the majority of the flight envelope.

-Dynamic stability still isn't quite there, but can be handled with more conservative maneuvering.

-Critical information was deemphasized in the certification process, or changed after the fact

-the promised deliverable did not achieve it's stated goals without excessive "compliance engineering"

The plane is absolutely dangerous to an uninformed pilot; but aerodynamically, within a constrained flight envelope, it's fine. I don't personally feel it should be airworthy, as I agree with many test pilot's from back in the 60's. It just encourages the use of less airworthy designs with less problematic behavior, because a computer can smooth out the curve, and yet as a programmer myself,I believe a passenger plane should not be reliant on that level of hack necessarily.

As it is, I'm not even highly confident that if there were something wrong with the software update, that the FAA would even catch it in it's current incarnation.

But without language naming the graphs you're talking about, or need to see to be convinced of safety, a FOIA would honestly be fruitless.

Thanks for the contributing though. I'll see if I can find the paperwork.

My tiny plastic Sansa Clip+ MP3 player has been going for years, I'd be nothing without it

I have three iPod Shuffles I keep in my work bag. The blue one has my most recent music, the red one has various work-related playlists, and the orange one has crooners and relaxing music.

I have the same music on my phone, but it's just not the same. The shuffles bring CD/cassette/album intimacy and focus to the music in a way that a do-everything contraption can't.
The asymmetry with the criminal penalties individuals face versus the civil penalties private organizations face feels like a rejection of the idea of the rule of law.

The worst part, for me at least, is I'm not even sure how you would sue Hertz for something like this. It's negligence resulting in false imprisonment, but not all false imprisonment tort statutes have negligence as a valid cause of action. There's also malicious prosecution and defamation, but that typically also requires intent, rather than just negligence or recklessness. I suppose that it could fall under the blanket "unfair business practices" tort, but the damages would probably be limited. In PA for example, you couldn't get more than $1,000 out of that claim.

This is an absurd set of factual circumstances, and there are almost no accountability structures in place to fight it. It's incredibly disheartening.

The board pretends to be responsible. Seems like a reasonable place to start looking.
This is not the point you made earlier. That point is:

> your privacy ends where my safety is concerned

and I dispute both the premise and that this is a legitimate instance of it.

Modern liberal democracies have until pretty recently come down strongly on the side of privacy. For the most part, in such societies, detaining people and making them answer questions or identify themselves has required significant objective evidence to suspect them of wrongdoing. Searches require stronger evidence, and often judicial oversight. Surveillance dragnets have traditionally been forbidden or strictly limited. In short, people have only been expected to give up privacy in the name of safety under narrow circumstances.

What the police are doing with facial recognition in the UK is anything but narrow. Nobody has made a good case for circumstances in the UK being so dire as to demand people be unable to walk down public streets in near-anonymity.
Tracking Phone Number Clicks with Google Analytics
Try the Goodwill auction site. They show up there occasionally, though often mislabeled as iPods.
We also have interconnects that pull power from the UK and soon France too.

We're fully aware of our dependence on fossil fuels (though what's down in that map as 'coal' for Ireland is mostly actually turf, not coal). The whole point of this exercise is to move away from it and diversify our energy sources.

The whole point of interconnects is so that as we ramp up on renewable sources, we need some way to smooth out the ramp-up and ramp-down.

We already produce/store as much from hydro as we can. We have the same issue as the Netherlands has in that Ireland is a relatively flat country.

Negligence in the UK regarding their nuclear energy sector pretty much killed any chance of a nuclear power plant ever existing on the island of Ireland. That might chance when practical non-fissile nuclear sources come along, but not yet.

This isn't greenwashing: this is a sign of progress. Nobody expects a single renewable source to be a panacea, nor that they'll eliminate the need for non-renewables any time soon. However, they do allow us to transition to a state where we're less dependent on them and can stretch out our supply.
Sometimes the vinyl master is in fact better, because it is less compressed, because a mastering engineer can assume that people listening to vinyl got a decent sound system, while mastering for "web" means people have phone speakers, laptop speakers, hifi systems, whatever.
I like Pinker, but his utility function is egregiously broken here. This sort of Panglossian thing is typical of the smug upper middle classes in the West who look at the lower orders in their own societies as being morally defective somehow; downstream fallout of the ideology of "meritocracy." It's a tale of the hero-bureaucrat; a very questionable story indeed -most of the actual progress we've experienced in recent years is made possible a handful of individuals, just as it has always been. Aka no fracking, no green revolution: things would look a lot different.

If you're a descendant of an American factory worker, or one of the Gilets Jaunes who can't afford to have a normal life like your parents did, you really don't give a shit that many people in Asia have much better lives now, or that childhood immunizations are so much better. Worse, one ought to be suspicious of shrinking metrics collected by bureaucracies whose definition of success is shrinking metrics.
> The "don't talk to police" mantra is for when you know that you've done something wrong.

No, though there is a it of a balancing act. It certainly isn't “never report a crime” or “never call 911 when a person is distress and cooperate with first responders when they arrive, even if those first responders happen to be police”. But it's a lot more than “never talk to the police when you know you are guilty”.

> So the main thing is that you don't want to lie about it, because they're trained to detect lies, and to manipulate you into contradicting yourself.

They are trained to manipulate you into contradicting yourself and will use that training if they don't like you, or if they suspect you are lying (and police aren't magical lie detectors, they are wrong a lot about their suspicions, in both directions), or for any number of other reasons, and lying to them is often a crime itself.
I'd like alcohol & drug free parties and night clubs. Preferrably kid friendly ones.
You can get valuable data from genotyping. SNPs contain the bulk of variation between you & me.

For your first question it depends on your definition of "companies like 23andMe". There are numerous companies that'll do a whole genome for you, but I don't know if any of them do the writeup about it that 23andMe provides. 23andMe did at one time offer an exome product, but stopped that a while back.

The largest hurdle is cost. Whole genomes, even exomes, are significantly more expensive than a SNP chip. As most would be users don't know enough to care it doesn't make much economic sense to offer those to the masses at the moment.
> This means that in practice the grid must still assume 0 in order to avoid blackouts. It does not mean that other sources can be wound down because wind produces 37% of electricity needs.

On any electric grid, production must always be precisely matched to consumption; producing more than is consumed results in the voltage and/or frequency becoming too high, with destructive results. Therefore, the grid cannot "assume 0"; it must reduce production until it matches the instantaneous consumption.

For obvious reasons, grid operators prefer to reduce the most expensive sources first, which are usually the fossil fuel thermal plants. So in practice, for every kW of wind-generated power, one less kW of fossil fuel electricity is generated; and due to how thermal power plants work, the easiest way to reduce generation is to burn less fuel.
As the capacity factor of wind is something like 30-40%, it's not "then and only then" those fossil plants will be running, it's most of the time. To reach 2C targets that's not nearly good enough.

You obviously have no idea if the creature has cognition of death and are simply speculating.
Interesting, I'd be a patron if one of these were near me. I have the perfect storm of mild bitter-sensitivity (I can choke down light beers, but something higher in IBUs will make me retch), being the stepchild of an alcoholic, and no particular fondness for being tipsy. Given how much of my socialization happens at bars, it would be nice to have a wider variety of options than just nursing the sweetest cider on the menu for hours.

It reminds me of my father's situation, who has been a vegetarian my entire life; growing up in rural Pennsylvania he'd quite often have to settle for ordering the mac and cheese from the kids' menu whenever we went out to eat anywhere. I think he'd weep with joy if he saw the sheer abundance of options available to my vegetarian friends in modern Boston.
There is that, but it’s also a grand jury. There technically isn’t any jeopardy there, they convene and recommend what a prosecutor should do and it’s all supposed to be secret with pretty strict punishment for violating that.

Fair or not, this is an interesting stand to take.
This is a great idea. In addition, consider flavouring to your taste by just mixing with soda.

I had an obsession with sprite/7-up one summer. The diet variety tasted awful and the regular not only was so high in calories, it was too sweet for me. I ended up with a 60/40 mix of club soda/sprite. It gives it a wonderful lightness while maintaining that great fizziness. It became my summer patio reading drink.

Do employers actually force employees to buy basic economy tickets? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but so far, my employer doesn't allow those tickets - most of us have to fly "lowest reasonable fare", which generally means within 20% of the lowest normal economy fare for the route.
All good points.

I'll add that art is probably used for tax avoidance and money laundering as well.
Salvatore's feeling that he should be thinking about big ideas makes me think of Fabrice Bellard. He drops amazing things, let's the community manage them and concentrates on starting the next amazing thing. Maybe that's something good for Salvatore too.
Can you open your MHTML page in any browser (supporting JS)? Firefox or Safari, for example, don't support MHTML. Moreover, MHTML is more and more becoming a proprietary format (cf. for example the serialization of shadow root contents).
I guess my question is, why can't you get the same experience at a regular bar? I grew up in a pretty small town so whenever I went to the bar with friends, I could just get a Pepsi or something similar if I was the DD. The bartender never pressured me to drink and neither did my friends. I always felt like that if I said I do not drink or if I was the DD, people would back off. I can see the societal pressure whenever going to the bar to drink, but is it really so much that you cannot resist? I am genuinely curious.
The whole article is about proverbial heads rolling over car theft. There turned out to be no theft and innocent heads rolled. Doing the same thing to some poor Hertz clerk isn't justice.

Hands on wheel doesn't really mean anything. You could be asleep. Applying a slight torque to the wheel or nudging one of the buttons requires conscious action, unless you deliberately hack it.

That said, Tesla's PR often seems misleading at best.

That's what interconnects partly are for. Ireland is an island, but its grid is no longer separated from the rest of Europe. We're getting closer to a point where, when we have a surplus, it can get sent elsewhere, and when we have a deficit, it can be pulled from elsewhere.
We drink those at home. You're right in that they're refreshing, I think I'd find them too boring to drink a two or three $4 glasses at a bar though.
Google also for a long time didn’t properly account for Rock Creek Parkway in DC going from one-way south, to bidirectional, to one-way north depending on the time of day. Also, it still doesn’t realize that the street I live on is a pedestrian street with car barriers at every other intersection. (You have to drive down the correct subdivision road from the main road, instead of just getting into the subdivision and expecting to be able to drive down the pedestrian road to the right house.) So Uber drivers will constantly call me saying they are stuck and can’t figure out how to get to me house. (The road was turned into a pedestrian road maybe 5-7 years ago now.)
