It's the same reason mechanics tell you do do preventive maintenance even though they make way more money swapping out large components.
I guess my question is, why can't you get the same experience at a regular bar?

Because relatively few bars have anything interesting to drink that's non-alcoholic.
Similarly, here in Berlin there are plenty of Turkish and Arab places which are (either rigorously or primarily) alcohol-free. Also open late, also can have a nice atmosphere.

Then there are the clubs where most people are using some drug other than alcohol. It's obviously not quite the same, but I find it easier to avoid drinking when there are lots of other people keeping off alcohol to avoid killing their high. Generally, I've found the hardcore party people to have a healthy attitude that it's every person's choice what they do or don't put into their body.
Correct. The attorney doing the questioning will have additional supporting evidence... documents, transcripts of prior testimony, established timelines of events, etc. So if they ask “were you at [location] on [date]?” and she replied “I don’t remember” they would simply show her evidence of her being at that location on that date to “refresh her recollection” and then she would be expected to answer. She could answer along the lines of “from this [evidence] it looks like I was” but it would be difficult if not impossible to avoid answering questions altogether.

Exactly, I'd much prefer going to a coffee or tea shop if that's the case. The price point will be better, the environment socially conducive, WiFi, and stimulants to keep you awake--plus I prefer coffee drinks.

The article almost describes juice/smoothie bars which already exist and offer similar advantages.
Side note: In 2016 just 56.9% of UK over-16s had had a drink in the week before, the lowest percentage on record since the office began asking the question in 2005

This is an incredible statistic. ..especially considering what it would be if you removed other drug users, religious abstainers and those who can't for medical reasons. Humans and mind altering substances..

True. My collection is all in mp3 format but any local DRM-free audio format has all the same advantages and usually fewer disadvantages.

So, no problem changing the name then - because in your opinion the name isn't effecting the purchaser or driver expectations.

There are a variety of historically enjoyable and useful establishments that may no longer serve as much of a population in todays world.

Perhaps sober bars are just the beginning?

Sure. If you assume that electricity from renewables are randomly distributed in time across your grid then all countries can do that. Unfortunately it's not the case (it's night time in Ireland and France at roughly the same hours) and so this model relies on the fact that other countries have non intermittent power sources that can kick in when it's night time and there is no wind. You've just moved the problem
Those €4000 prices are when demand outstrips supply. Which likely is when wind is generating 0.

Ps.: While such high prices are annoying for customers, they are critical to drive investment into low carbon dispatchable capacity like batteries, pumped hydro, or nuclear. Legislating some roof on the price will make the problem worse, not solve it!
For those who have struggled with addiction or frequent over-indulgence, it often is irresistible.

That said, from my experience some bars/pubs are more suitable than others to the non-drinker.
Medium is also bad for SEO https://abot.app/blog/medium-blogging-platform-seo . Selling your personal brand for a fancy WYSIWYG editor does not seem to be the best trade-off.
It's smorgasboard. Some are MP3s I probably downloaded more than 20 years ago, others are ripped from CDs, others are bought from Amazon or other sources. The caveat with Amazon, Google play, etc is that they must be some DRM-free format. I'm not an audiophile, and medium-to-high quality MP3s are fine by me. I've actually got a record player, so most of the Vinyl stays in vinyl format.

As far as getting music to and from my setup, I'm usually pretty old fashioned. I have an external hard drive that I use for backup, and a thumb drive or two. Further, I have Owncloud set up on a Raspberry Pi, which is nice for moving a few files, but wouldn't be suitable for moving files of any real volume. Obviously, anyone could build a more mature and robust network drive if they liked, but this setup is more than suitable for my needs.
Does Amazon do lossless?
Cray is such a niche player and totally dependent upon government spending.

I can only see this is a play by HPE to get more government contracts.

Sad what has become of HPE. What happened to Moonshot? What happened to their super memristor?
I don't even understand how you could easily smash a tail light. They're inside the car bodies, encased in heavy plastic, and usually made of LEDs so there's no single bulb to hit even if you could get through the plastic.
Yeah at the end of the day they are renting a space in NYC and not charging an entry fee. Most of the cost of drinks at a bar are for things other than the alcohol itself. Also, it sounds like they are offering expensive juices and other ingredients to make up the money not spent on alcohol.
My problem with UBI is that it somehow doesn’t seem to be such a good idea to pay people to sit around and do nothing - except perhaps get too deep into social media. At the same time, I do see some benefit to the Danish-style garden leave where one gets about 80% of their former salary to bridge them to their next gig.
Maybe we should learn to live with inequality? Seems as if you can't build an egalitarian society without tyranny.

How about using some of that revenue to pay the project maintainer to incorporate the patch upstream and make a release?

I've seen this very often in my personal experience that a company says exactly like you're saying now, "We have paying customers who demand certain patches, but the upstream project may be unable or unwilling to patch and release...so we downstream only." Alternatively, some downstream consumers simply "throw code over the wall" in the form of an upstream patch. However, those patches are sometimes duct-tape solutions which may not fit into the overall architecture/vision of the project maintainer(s). It's not fair to say, "accept this or else..." where the 'or else' is a downstream deviation (which in turn sometimes forces the upstream's hand).

The ethical way to do this work with upstream, whether it be direct compensation or more back-and-forth vice code-over-the-wall.
We haven't gone as far down the 1984 path as you have so we have still have human cops write tickets instead of using speed cameras.

It also depends a lot on your area. Where I live the cops to "real problems" ratio is pretty good. I'm basically free to go a safe and reasonable speed regardless of the speed limit. I'd have to do something really flagrant to get pulled over for it. In the wealthier cities and suburbs that the people of HN tend to live in you have many more bored cops looking for trouble where there is little to be found so they spend more time extracting revenue from motorists and making fishing stops.
Well.. presumably the experience of hanging out with people who are drinking is different.
Went with cowerkers hiking once, we had more than enough to drink with us. What we didn't plan on was a convenient way to carry the bottles, so around half way to our target we had to rest and decide what to do with them. Either leave them there and collect them on the way back or accept that they will be a pain to carry around for the rest of the day. We later found a place where we could drop them off, but getting there was far from just "doing it".

Lesson learned: plan ahead and get something convenient to carry.
Would a Boycott browser plugin work?
Just a small idea I've had, and can't find anything similar except for specific boycotts.

A browser plugin that:

- Users submit boycotts (eg "Evil Corp Boycott" which has 100 websites listed)
- Browser plugin users sign up to boycotts
- Anytime you browse a website in one of the boycott lists it asks you if you want to continue, or visit an alternative page
- Could even extend cleverly into product listings (EG "Evil Chocolate Corp" products on Amazon are obscured)

Boycott as a service if you will! If users wish to go to an alternative, perhaps there's some referral bonus you can get to monetise the plugin.

Boycotts never seem to be effective as it takes education, conscious effort and meaningful numbers. If this sort of plugin got enough reach I think it solves a lot of those issues.
I'm trying to limit my inflows, to regain my creative, and increase my productivity...but the tough part sometimes is deciding which "good" (inspiring) stuff to let in, and which "bad" (useless/distracting) stuff to ignore, etc. I can not simply shut all the incoming stuff; that's too simplistic, because that really leaves me barren of ideas. And, having multiple accounts creates a tad more overhead than the benefits it might create...At least, its good to hear others are on a similar journey herein.
> They then report that missing car to the police.

We're playing with words. That's an implicit accusation, our car is missing and we believe someone stole it. Furthermore, the last person to rent it out was X.

I'm sure you can spin this around legally, but the spirit of the interdiction against false accusations applies, one should not be able to play with the power of law enforcement and cry 'wolf' in jest, it's a critical public resource with grave consequences.
I think you are confusing the poor excuse of bike lanes in the USA with the much better dedicated biking paths in the Netherlands. The latter don’t have the problems you mentioned.

Not wind, but hydro and similar usecase. The Massena facility is in an old Alcoa aluminum smelter plant. Electricity comes from the nearby Moses-Saunders Power Dam.

The smelter used to draw a consistent amount of power to keep the pots hot. Now, that the smelter shut down, coinmint is taking over and drawing a consistent rate of power using the miners. The consistent power draw is good for the equipment at the dam.

Using the power closer to the source is also better than transmitting it elsewhere at a loss.
I am not familiar with non-alcoholic drinks other than water and soda. I usually am okay with just a water when I am the DD or not feeling the alcoholic drinks available. After reading this article and talking to others, it seems like I have been missing a big portion of the beverage market.
I met Maxfield briefly, at a talk he was doing at my college, probably sometime around '87 or '88. He certainly wasn't trying to stay off the radar then, he was inflating his role in all of this quite a lot.

As it happens, I was attending that talk along with one member of the Inner Circle (not named in this article), as well as one other even more respected hacker, BIOC Agent 003. Not that I'm an uber-hacker myself - my association with them was mostly a matter of coincidence.

Maxfield told a number of anecdotes about famous hacks and takedowns, like the famous Fargo 4A phone switch thing. Having some knowledge of these events from my friends, it was clear that he was stretching the truth to inflate his own importance. My friends called him out on this, and I remember much of the rest of the talk being Q&A with the audience directing questions mostly at my friends rather than to Maxfield.
My setup is far simplified from the parent's--I simply have all my music backed up onto an external HDD that is attached to my HTPC (roughly 2TB of MP3s and FLACs). The "Music" folder is shared over the network via the Windows share option, and all of my Linux machines are able to trivially mount the directory as well using a SMB/CIFS share.

There's so little effort required that I'd barely consider it a DIY solution, considering that most of the OS's can see it and access the drive without leaving the file explorer.

I also discovered it happily continues to work when my ISP had an outage, since all of the IPs were local and still accessible provided that the router was up.
I have decided not to post on internet platforms that take my content and put it behind a login wall. I guess if I post a blog or video, I expect that everyone must be able to view it without having to login. Only then I will give my content to your platform.

It's true. It's not possible to completely structure the time of so many kids, to helicopter over them all, to lawnmower for everyone.

Please stop spreading misinformation. The Federal Constitutional Court decided in 2014 that no more than a third of the members of each Rundfunkrat can be chosen by the state or by parties. Also, not all party representatives are representatives of a governing party. The ZDF Fernsehrat has representatives of each party present in the Bundestag. Two thirds belong to other groups such as churches and unions.
For the state-level Rundfunkrats, the federal government is obviously irrelevant.
I was wondering if some media server [1] set up in local network and serving audio and media files in popular formats from an external USB drive would do the job for me. Don't have the time to experiment even with such a simplified setup.

It’s not the FISA court. Grand juries are part of the court system, but they aren’t courts like you normally think. They’re confidential proceedings where prosecutors show that they have enough evidence to charge somebody with a crime (in this case, Manning is not the target). The confidentiality is officially meant to protect the person who may be charged with a crime (grand juries can see information that courts cannot; news reports about grand jury proceedings could taint the jury pool, influence the future judge, and just hurt someone’s reputation without giving them a chance to respond) and to avoid interfering with ongoing investigations.

Manning is in jail because she has a different idea of right and wrong than the judge does. That wouldn’t matter at a cocktail party, but in this case the judge has the power to punish Manning until she changes her mind about what the honorable thing to do is.
Many people who quit drinking do so because they lack self control with it and it is harmful to them on one way or another. Coffeehouses used to be a great alternative as people would go there to socialize and meet other people but most of them now function more as places people can work heads down on their laptops.

There’s probably a lot of great business ideas to address this but they are a little more complex to figure out because people who are not drinking don’t tend to make quite as many bad judgement calls on spending money for drinks.

> What EU countries start to do is sharing the license plates files between countries.

Just wanted to add that this license plate integration is going at full speed. My brother is a truck driver who carries stuff to Western Europe once every 2-3 weeks or so (we live in Romania). About a month ago he received a speeding ticket from the French authorities, translated in Romanian and with a photo of his face as he was driving the truck.

The interesting thing was that the fine was sent to his home/personal address, even though the truck is owned by my brother's employer, not by my brother directly. So on top of making the license plate/owner connection, it seems that for stuff like trucks some traffic authorities also have information about the private details of the drivers operating those trucks.

But Medium promote the platform, attract readers and give visibility to you article. I think is the same think a traditional newspaper do.
Kind of.

Vinyl can't carry much bass, so it's cut with a special EQ curve - called the RIAA curve - that eliminates most of the bass and some of the mids.

Phono preamps have the opposite curve. In theory when the music comes of the preamp you get a flat response overall. In reality any added distortion warms up the bass a lot, the mids some, and the treble barely at all.

Because what's left of the bass is still cut close to the dynamic range limits of vinyl, it's always distorted. But because of the extreme EQ this rounds out the low end and gives the mids a boost.

The overall effect is a warm sound.

Vinyl isn't a true hifi medium. It's more like an Instagram filter for music. It can sound very nice, but it's a heavily processed sound, not a realistic one.

Digital has other issues. But for ultimate fidelity, personally I would always - no exceptions - prefer to listen to a lossless 24-bit digital recording of a master tape captured with studio-grade converters and streamed from hard disk than from vinyl, CD, or any compressed file format.

Wind produced 37% of the country’s energy so far this year. That’s 37% not produced by coal. That it isn’t a complete solution should not be classified as a dealbreaker especially given it’s still growing and power supplies are multi-sourced anyway.

I see what you are saying but I don't think that addresses my point that the higher minimum wage, which by your example causes some of the welfare benefits to stay with the recipient and not the employer, also results in unemployment for people who can't bring enough value to the table.

I'm not claiming I have a good solution, just pointing out the side effects of the high minimum wage (higher that the otherwise natural market clearing price).
There was a non-alcoholic drink made in Nigeria, Maltina, that was made at a brewery as a non-alcoholic stout. I have not tried it, but it was quite popular and it looks like it has some distribution in Canada and the US.

You can now buy non-DRM music from many downloading sources, including high quality FLAC. Example: Bandcamp
But I hear about the police stopping people for things like tail lights in the US? Or in other comments people are talking about being stopped because they're driving a suspiciously cheap car in an expensive area? The police just don't seem to stop people here in the UK unless there's something seriously wrong. As I said elsewhere, I've never seen a tail light out ever, but it seems to be a common thing for normal people to be stopped for in the US?

And of course speed cameras don't bother you if you don't speed in the first place, so they don't catch people unless they're doing something wrong.
Are you planning to do a more POSIX version, like in using dash instead of zsh ?
Because you're flying on an airline like Ryanair that uses extortionate extra fees as a profit centre, and you fear they'll charge you such a fee.

Good point. The difference in dynamic range between eyes and cameras is HUGE. Maybe partially an illusion because the point we happen to be looking at is recognizable, but in any case it works in practice.
In fact, the driver should have had his eyes on the road, in order to have the degree of attentiveness that Tesla always claims was missing whenever this sort of crash occurs. Tesla cars are unable to detect whether the driver is doing that, and if they did, it would make clear that this technology is nowhere near as complete as Tesla claims.
Erdinger alcohol-free is the best non-alcoholic beer I've tasted. I think wheat-beer works better than plain barley-beer, because it avoids the thin and watery mouth-feel so many non-alcoholic beers have. Nanny State is disappointing IMO, with lots of hops and not much else, although it might be useful for blending.
Sorry if the brevity of the post lead to any ambiguities. I was up against HN's character limit.

Exposure to radiation does, indeed make other materials radioactive. This is something the Navy learned during early atomic experiments like Bikini. It doesn't happen as much with foods because of the makeup of the atoms in foods. The kind of contamination I'm speaking of mostly happens with other metals.[0] The recent "rediscovery" of one of these ships in San Francisco Bay still shows high levels of radiation because the metal of which the ship is made has, itself, become radioactive (atomically unstable.)[1]

I should have used a different word than "quantized," but we are saying the same thing. The subatomic structure of lead doesn't provide many opportunities for gamma particles to pass through.

That said, the purpose of my post was to point out that radioactive materials cause harm at a distance which other substances, such as pollutants from making solar panels, do not. Radioactive materials can also transform other materials into dangerous substances when they were not previously. Radioactivity can also damage DNA chains and cause congenital disease and deformity (ie: diseased or damaged children) where other toxins that might be ingested by a person do not affect his or her offspring.

These are the reasons that radioactivity differs from other types of hazards and can't really be compared to them.
