Sure, but if you're going to go that direction with your argument you need to account for the environmental damage caused by burning fossil fuels inefficiently in motor vehicles.
With a Dutch bank card, for someone to go on a spree, they would have to have your actual bank card, not a copy or a bunch of numbers. They would also have to know your PIN number. And then they have to go on that spree before you manage to get to a phone to block that card.

And then you dispute the charges. No idea how long that takes, because it's never happened to me. I expect it's very rare now that bank cards have a chip rather than a magnetic strip (which is easily copied).

With a credit card, they just need some numbers that are easily visible. It's basically public information, and it's enough to authorise a payment. Sure, chargebacks are easy, but I still need to pay attention to whether someone might be using my credit card number. And as for those easy chargebacks, someone is still paying for that cost. And if they can't find the thief, it's ultimately going to be the consumers that pay for it one way or another. (I believe credit card transactions are relatively pricey, are they not?)
Clasic VB, (aka VB6). Each year it is more difficult to install the IDE, but the runtime is still installed by default.

It is incredible easy to build a nice one screen application with not very a very complicated background logic. Normal people like a nice graphical interface with a few buttons, and with Classic VB you can create them very easily and iterate and customize the form.

My last big problem was that it doesn't have a build in sort function, so you can use a n^2 sort or write a good sorting function by hand :( . When the logic start to be not so easy, there begin to apear problems.
One could shorten it even further and create a valid context for saying "I have no fucks to give" and similar.
Kialo – debates as cascading pros and cons
>the things they value are so at odds with the things that would make them valuable

If the market price is the value to everybody, then a $100,000 spare part for some random industrial equipment is worth $100,000 to me. But, somehow, I clearly wouldn't spend that much to buy it. The market price isn't the value that everybody agrees on, it's the equilibrium between buyers who decide not to buy it and sellers who decide not to sell it. Yes, to a certain group of people stuff in that New York gallery is worth a lot, but so is that spare part. Manufacturing it might be a good job but nobody goes in to art looking for a good job.

The fuselage between the three is not the same. The A and C model fuselage is not the same as the B.

The size of the aircraft is driven by the need to carry large amounts of internal fuel and all internal stores, not the need for a lift fan for the B model. This allows all three models to operate with a reduced cross section for an expanded set of missions, which is the purpose of the aircraft.

Parts commonality is essentially non existent except for the engine and parts of the avionics -- that does make a difference and is a cost savings, but it's not the issue you make it out to be.

Costs are better than they were sold as, and their availability rates are better than they were sold as, and their accident rate is so low as to be non existent. It's a phenomenal aircraft and a capability that's going to completely change the balance of power in some regions of the world.

Adding to this: ALWAYS use spaces as thousand-separators.

Resist the temptation to use commas or dots as thousand-separators. Seeing a number with a dot as a decimal separator instead of a comma will be fine for most people (even if proper localisation would mean using a comma), but if you throw in commas that mean something else you WILL confuse people. And I imagine the inverse is also true.

I take magnesium bis-glycinate, it's well absorbed and has no serious side effects.
I actually worked one summer doing exactly that, back when I was 15. Without any doubt, the absolute worst job I've had. I'd previously worked summers in my uncle's _fresh_ fish processing and that was totally fine. The stuff we were racking and drying at that other place though was anything but fresh. Ugh, the textures, the smells, it's all coming back to me... Kinda hard to reconcile that as a delicacy.

It sure was formative though. All uphill from there, haha.
I feel like losing cell signal is more common than having a heart attack.

In a lot of situations where a contract like that comes to court, the company will try to convince the judge to simply reduce the scope of the contract to whatever seems reasonable to them - and this can succeed. (Of course if you're in a state where non-competes are blanket illegal, that's different.)

Guys whats the fuss about -- its just a stupid database - anyone can make this by scraping hacker spoil dumps available on the internet.
They're charging interest, just in real pound terms rather than percentages.

You request 'superpowers' to multiply the amount of money you have (a secured loan), and they advise what the monthly fee is and the repayment terms up front.

It's no different to any other secured loan, they just focus on presenting the actual £ amounts rather than % AERs, which is probably clearer for the vast majority of people.
I'm also not convinced they help human readability that much.

e.g., when I've done my own binary formats, I typically also create a "dump" utility that converts the file to a readable text dump. I find the ergonomics of this are just fine for my purposes.

less somefile.json

isn't that much easier to type than

dumpdat somefile.dat | less

That said, different purposes are different. I'm not so worried about human-readability for short-lived stuff, but, if you're talking about data that may be sitting around for decades, then the human readability question becomes something you might better characterize as "future comprehensibility": If someone's trying to dust off 50-year-old business data from deep in the archives, they're going to have a much higher chance of success if it's CSV files than if it's in some custom binary format whose documentation was lost 40 years ago.
How do you propose to force people to inform themselves?

Neverless: lithium is now the way to go with clinical treatment of a wide range of disorders and reducing self-harm and suicide rates.

The problem so far: nobody is sure why it works.

The dose is worth mentioning. Clients receive a dose of 200-500mg per day. The lithium you can buy without prescription contains around 1mg. Effects are still there, but the dose on the subjects of matter are quite high and can be toxic if done wrong.

Ok thank you then for pointing that out and I agree that name-calling is unnecessary most of the times. In the case of Trump however I think he has become a figure of a certain way to think and act which is almost meme-esque.

Of course we could instead still use Nixon for attitudes like warmongering but the younger generations don't know him that well anymore and to be honest he was not on the same "level" as Trump is. That's why I like to use Trump to clarify certain points and in this case I just wanted to jokingly warn the user about this kind of criticism because I noticed how US-dominated this platform sometimes is.

Probably, as all of us speak different languages even when we use the same base (like English) to communicate. Many problems just arise because of misunderstandings.

Of course my hypothesis about the nationalism & Co. is based on my experience with US citizens and to my knowledge not scientifically proven (I haven't searched for it and instead just try to do meaningless small-talk when I meet ppl from the US). It's similar with Chinese and Russians - most of them seem to have problems dealing with criticism about their politics. In Germany I know you should restrain yourself from criticizing Israeli politics whereas there is people with whom you can discuss German politics (I mean a real discussion).

What you say is also true I think when Austrians or Germans would stand up to their Gvt. if another Nazi-Party tries to take power it would be very patriotic. They love their countries enough to not let something like that happen again.

Also I am not "that kind of person" who sees words like "nationalist" or "patriot" as statically but instead know that meaning is also part of the construction of a common reality.

I enjoy respectful conversations/discussions like these - you seem to be intelligent and open-minded.
I once tried supplementing magnesium while in the midst of moderate depression. Interestingly enough, the effect was not relief, but rather major, absolutely crushing depression (i.e. cannot get out of bed all day depression). I went back to moderate depression after stopping the supplementation and a subsequent second attempt brought back the major depression. By that point I gave up on the whole thing.

Anyone have a similar experience or maybe some insight that might explain this?

> Will charging speed really only be of minor importance? How do you charge your vehicle if you live in an apartment building? And if you can't do that and charging at a station takes more than 3-5 minutes then you cut out a huge part of the populace.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If you have to leave your home to charge, the time is relatively unimportant. Sub 3-5 minutes is a big deal because you can do it on the way home from work, but you could also accomplish that with a battery swap or even a small top-off block you keep indoors. I could have phrased it better by saying that charge speed is arguably a major issue, but only if there is no way to solve the distribution problem.

Until then it's pretty low value- 10 minutes doesn't have much benefit over 30 minutes since you have to plan around it. If you're stopping for ten minutes, you may as well eat or run errands, and then it might as well be 30 minutes.

If it's 30+ minutes you need to do it while you run errands or something, so it may as well be an hour. You'll only ever notice on the few days you drive for hundreds of miles at once. If it's over an hour, it might as well be 6+ hours, because you'll only ever do it overnight.
I'm a developer so I created my own simple PHP version. The habit-changing feature I added was having the script email me every day. So every day I get an email asking what I did the day before. Like texts, I find it hard to ignore emails, so I actually reply. Previously, when I had to remember to add an extry, I'd go weeks without journaling.
This would be great! Find your own damn worldview, turn off CNN and Fox, for the politicos to work for YOU.

Also what would be great is if Americans smartened up about taxes, tax withholding, the whole monetary system that gives the insiders first access to debt, and maybe just a better basic understanding of MATHEMATICS.

I mean, Americans as a whole are mathematical illiterates. It is so utterly incomprehensible that a first world nation would be so full of dullards.

That's exactly the point of using HyperLook as a window manager, which we were discussing at Sun in 1991 before they canceled NeWS.

HyperLook, which was inspired by HyperCard, but written in PostScript for the NeWS window system, let you build specialized task-oriented user interface by assembling and customizing and scripting together components and applets into their own "stacks".

HyperLook and window management:

>HyperLook (which ran on NeWS, and was like a networked version of Hypercard based on PostScript) was kind of like looking outwards through windows, in the way Rob Pike described the Blit (although it was architecturally quite different).

>I think his point was that window frames should be like dynamically typed polymorphic collections possibly containing multiple differently typed components that can change over time (like JavaScript arrays), not statically typed single-element containers that are permanently bound to the same component type which can't ever change (like C variables).

>With X11, the client comes first, and the window manager simply slaps a generic window frame around it, subject to some pre-defined client-specified customizations like ICCCM properties to control the window dressing, but not much more, and not under the control of the user.

>With HyperLook, the "stack/background/card" or window frame came first, and you (the user at runtime, not just the developer at design time) could compose any other components and applications together in your own stacks, by copying and pasting them out of other stacks or warehouses of pre-configured components.

So if I'm understanding correctly, it's not that the arrests didn't happen, or that they happened for a different reason, it's that the government isn't actively soliciting businesses for those kinds of tips. Their attitude is, "we'll arrest you if we hear about it."
true, SPSS is way too expensive. This will ultimately kill it. But big corps like IBM just don't care.

And it's a pity. Like a lot of "old" technology and "old" languages, also SPSS is far easier to use for normal people. Asl usual, IBM is just wasting potential.

This article feels like it ends without actually getting into the depths of the problem. Everything it says is reasonable but it leaves out so much nuance and context. It's like they're bending over backwards to say "whoops, look at this authoritarian hole we've dug for ourselves, looks like it was all just an unintentional consequence of cars." The fact of the matter is that every step of the way, police, prosecutors, judges and citizens looking to enforce law and order were complicit in the described erosion of civil rights while out in public. It's not like this happened accidentally. Sure, the societal changes that came about as a result of cheap personal transportation aggravated the problem but every inch we slid down the slippery slope was the result of many people pushing us in that direction.

Yes, changing the registry model is key.

I'm not quite convinced by their federated approach though. It feels like its just spreading out the problems, and not really preventing them from happening, and in the worst case even creating new ones.

As pointed out in the talk, running a registry becomes expensive once it becomes popular. So now instead of 1 central registry (which I agree is not a good idea) needing to fund the hosting, you have maybe 10-100 federated registries, with each one of them needing to fund the hosting and coming up with different economic models around it.

I'm also not sure how they would really be able to ensure immutability of packages in a federated system. A node could simply publish two different packages with the same name and version number to different parts of the network. Yes, you can reduce the impact by saving an integrity hash in a lockfile, but npm already does that today.
The corporate powers don't care about any of that! They need to make their money, you see? You are just in their way.

I recently realised that Mg is a reliable way for me to stop teeth grinding in my sleep.
Also very skeptical, and I try to test carefully. So far, it seems that Passionflower extract does boost my sleep quality and helps with early-morning-waking style insomnia. In the evening, CBD helps me downshift to a relaxed "end-of-day" mode that makes falling asleep much easier. Magnesium's next on my list.
Discovery by accident is normal psychiatric science. Lithium came into use to treat gout, depression being seen a a "brain gout" [1].

I take magnesium in the form of trace mineral drops. These are de-salted sea water deposits. Besides magnesium they contain other rare trace minerals which would otherwise be difficult to obtain, particularly lithium which has quite strong evidence of mellowing mood.

The liquid form leads me to believe they absorb well but not sure if that's actually true.

Edit to say I believe these drops have reduced my anxiety and improved relaxation. If nothing else I sleep better due to the mg (no more Jimmy legs).
