IANAL (or an expert on Canadian IP law) but while it perhaps could have been as well, it's pretty clear from TFA that this was a civil lawsuit. Use of the term "lawsuit" and "plaintiff" (the latter in the only actual document provided[1]) are dead giveaways, as is the fact that the government (who prosecutes criminal cases) does not appear to be involved.

Yes, I wish I had learned that earlier.
I'd say that since the readme says this is an experimental WM to understand what's needed for a WM the point of the UX is moot, at the moment.

This doesn't seem like a user-oriented thing.
Yes, very much so and it is also apparent by the content. You also don't have to have formal network to have a social network. The significant part is whether something behaves differently in the context of the network. Which I think one could clearly say about hacker news.
I agree with other posters that sound is essential for cars. In the UK, it's not illegal to jaywalk (cross a road at a suitable pause in the traffic when you're not at a pedestrian crossing). In fact, most people in the UK probably don't even know what the word jaywalk means. Without the sound of an approaching car, I can imagine many more accidents. I'm sure all cyclists have stories of missed collisions with pedestrians because pedestrians could not hear an approaching cyclist and assumed the road was clear. With a car, a collision can be fatal.
Camera quality depends on both the camera firmware blob and the camera app. On high-end Android phones, the camera app usually makes use of proprietary features on the firmware blob and performs post-processing (such as HDR and bokeh).

Other Galaxy S7 (herolte) users seem to have the same problems as you on LineageOS, but it's hard to tell exactly what causes them:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/8awrcz/herolte_g...

Also, the Galaxy S7 is no longer officially supported by LineageOS, since there are currently no active device maintainers:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/herolte/

It's difficult to diagnose issues with unofficial builds of LineageOS, because they most likely don't meet the LineageOS device support requirements:

https://github.com/LineageOS/charter/blob/master/device-supp...

Google Camera's post-processing has been well-received, and the app has been ported to many non-Google devices, including the Galaxy S7. I'm not sure how well the S7 ports work (especially if your S7 has an Exynos SoC) but XDA Developers has a couple of active threads here:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes

Using one of the ports might improve your camera situation. No guarantees, but it doesn't hurt to try.

I recommended the first-generation Pixel and Pixel XL because they are the only phones that are currently supported by both LineageOS and the latest version of the official (non-ported) Google Camera app. For people who aren't particular about camera features and quality, the Camera app that comes with LineageOS or any third-party camera app would be adequate, and you can use these with any supported device.
I absolutely love it. It also gives nice feedback while driving, as acceleration sounds different from coasting, different from braking. Some of this is probably just unavoidable switching noise, but I can't help but feel it's also designed that way.
The question assumes we have the normal faculties of humans. You can choose whatever non random criteria for ordering them you like as long as it doesn’t affect their number choice.

For example height, or age, or distance from the door to the room, or how much I like them, or where in the sequence I arbitrarily decide to put them in. As long as that does not a priori influence their number choice we’re good.
This sounds like it's coming right out of the Onion, so I looked it up. Apparently he composed sounds for a concept car, so I'll wait and see if that has anything to do with the actual release models.
Lol, I did open the article but it doesn't say how it calculates the carbon footprint or whats included.

And my point was literally that there is several countries that simply cannot measure their carbon footprint since they barely have a functional government.

And even if the article only talks about CO2, it is still very, very misleading and the title is even worse. Like I said, a clickbait article.
Altairs and IMSAIs didn't have standard terminals. You could add an S-100 video board with video output and keyboard input (usually something that would output ASCII) or you could attach a real terminal over a serial line on an S-100 board (which is kind of nice if you want to be far from the computer but not that useful for a desktop). Many CP/M desktops used the "bus attached" terminal (because it saves components). A common arrangement (and not only for CP/M machines) would be a CRT controller managing its own memory where the program/OS would address the video memory through the microprocessor's IO channels. This was slow compared to having video driven from main memory (like the Apple II) but CRTCs did a lot the hardware designer wouldn't need to worry about, it was many orders of magnitude faster than a 9600 bps serial terminal, and allowed moving terminal emulation to software/BIOS.

The Apple II had a couple "terminal" boards more or less like what I described that allowed it to display 80 and 132-column video. Their memory and registers would be manipulated through memory access as the 6502 didn't have dedicated IO functions. One very common was the Videx Videoterm, that used a 6845 just like the IBM CGA and MDA boards (but with a much nicer VT-100-like font). The Microsoft CP/M SoftCard emulates a SOROQ IQ-120 terminal in software.

For the consumer or the seller?

I think I easily save 20-50% when I buy the amount I can eat before it goes bad instead of having to buy a larger amount because it's prepackaged in a too-big-for-me package.

Come to think of it, I never throw out stuff like fruit which I buy "per piece" instead of prepackaged, where as carrots which usually only comes prepackaged where I shop is something I often have to throw out of because the last ones have gone bad before I got to them. This have meant I rarely eat carrots anymore and instead buy something else that isn't prepackaged.

Same thing with bread actually. But then they started selling smaller breads all over the country to combat food waste, and it really has, I don't remember throwing out bread in the last couple of years.
But it would be a start at least, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet started the Giving Pledge, at first it only meant that those two were going to give most of their wealth to charity, but now there are over 200 members. And like I said, it doesn't have to stop at the individual level, they have leverage to pressure the companies they own to stop tax dodging which would have much larger impact than the wealth tax they are proposing here. And it doesn't even block the wealth tax from happening eventually. All I'm saying is that they have tools at their disposal right not, but still they are lobbying for another tax, which eventually some will evade, so why not start from paying current ones they are currently evading and not invent a new just to evade it eventually?
> it's impossible to extract the value that someone destroys by being a bad leader, from that leader, because shit that breaks is usually far too big.

Then you extract everything you can from that "leader" and move on to the next one responsible. Are you saying that Boeing's CEO could smash a couple of planes into some skyscrapers and get away because you can't extract the value from him? Laws also have the deterrence aspect. When you pick up that fat paycheck it comes with the responsibility. Unless you can buy your own justice. Make a list o high ranking executives or politicians that ended up in prison in the US...

And don't play with words, knowingly falsifying documents is not "being a bad leader" it's "being a criminal".

Here's your idea in a more mundane example: a driver intentionally plows into a crowd killing 2+ people. He can't pay back the damage having a single life to give himself so we'll just blame the car.

> If it was possible to get good results by executing executives who fail, wouldn't it follow that some country would have already tried

[note: "executing" was your term, mine were prison time and fines]

Oh but they did [0]. Just not with local companies in countries with extremely powerful lobby groups, where laws are written by CEOs. So the CEO of a US company like Boeing will never see the inside of a US prison. And since Boeing is so deep in US military contracts, I'm sure pressure will be put on any country that thinks of indicting him.

> I liked to eat bits of raw meat while my mother cooked and always thought we rinsed the vegetables only because they taste and look better without the dirt and small bugs.

With healthy livestock the chances of getting anything from eating raw meat are very low. With healthy livestock is a pretty big caveat though. Most people throughout history have had parasites, never mind animals. Industrial agriculture has the benefit of antibiotics and other medicines so most livestock is healthy. My biology lecturer in college said he wouldn’t eat fish, poultry or pig raw, everything else was basically ok. Fish because wild fish are crawling with parasites, poultry because salmonella is everywhere and pigs because of ringworm.

Vegetables are safe if they haven’t had unfermented on them recently but taking the time to let manure rot doesn’t always happen in places where that’s the only fertiliser you’ve got. If you can buy nitrogenous fertiliser by the bag you’re overwhelmingly going to be fine but generally safe food is not natural, it’s the product of work.
If you are not looking both ways when you are crossing a street, even in a parking lot, you are irresponsible. You shouldn’t be surprised by a big, predictably there object.
The recent advert where Arnie is trying to convince people to buy ICE cars (as a prank) puts this in perspective. He rocks up in a Hummer that is making normal car noises, the noises that car drivers like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXodSqMpuUQ

..but in this advert the noises sound so naff and quite... noisy!

My vehicle of choice is a bicycle and it is very quiet. But I have a bell. I can give a gentle ting to let people know I am behind them. It would be a little odd to me to have a bell that continually rattled just to inform anyone who I can't see that I am behind them.

How many guide dogs have I maimed and slaughtered? Zero. And this is sharing the same paths that people go on specifically to walk their dogs.

What next, someone walking sixty yards out in front with a red flag?

What happens if you live near a road that has slow moving traffic during rush hour? This could be nice and silent as it shuffles along. But it will be making these nanny noises from all the tin boxes.

Apart from anything else I thought it was a solved problem of having cars stop if something is in the way? Automatic collision avoidance?

Can't we have that and a softer 'bell' instead of the aggressive 'horn'?
Yes I understand - I was talking more about the ordering of them. English-speaking websites tend to use FA(A?)NG while French-speaking ones tend to use GAFA(M?).

This also lets you deal with functions that are defined at runtime. Moreover, this actually lets you provide types for the expected callbacks.

How is providing a reference to a function "logic"? You still provide a reference to a method, only you do it in an unspecified stringly-typed DSL.

The Worm That Nearly Ate the Internet

The irony is that “etc” makes no sense whatsoever in Windows, and particularly in that place. It probably came about because it was easier to have it there than to patch whatever bit of code they borrowed, and it’s now likely vestigial, but probably there is too much stuff relying on it to change things. The irony is in an OS trying extremely hard to not be a unix, ending up with unixy folder names because laziness.
Indeed. Energy is like currency. It has to be under the control of a political authority with complete control over it. At the moment that structure is still the nation state.
Once you step outside the nation state you need sufficient geopolitical diversity of supply between nations that you can abandon one if necessary.

I rarely ever throw food away, and if I have to (once every two months or so) I consider it a shame.

Storing things the right way is important, but much more important is not buying too much. My solution is that I never use a shopping cart but my own bag. When you have to carry it you will have a much better feeling if it is too much.

This is ofc harder if you have kids.
> I guess it's nice to know you wouldn't call Mathematica a Lisp,

Thanks!

> but I didn't say it was strictly in the Lisp family, just a strange variant.

Right, that was my point, I don't consider term rewriting systems as Lisp variants, even though they may have numbers and strings as data types. The actual execution engine is too different.

Fexprs had the interesting property that it sees the actual source at runtime (which makes it very different from lazy evaluation or wrapping things in lambdas), which appeals especially to users/implementors of computer algebra systems (see Reduce written in Portable Standard Lisp, which provides Fexprs) or other math software dealing with formulas (like R, which has a feature similar to fexprs).

> Mathematica does have a built-in compiler, but granted it is unclear exactly what subset of the language it is compiling.

From what I read of its very unspecific documentation, I doubt that it does the term rewriting at compile time (like Lisp does macro expansion at compile time) - does it? To me it looks like the compiler targets numeric code and basic control flow...

They probably have better documentation of their language implementation, internally. Or is there an externally available document, which actually describes their implementation?

> As well, going to the store more often. Buying only a couple or three days worth of groceries makes it easy to lower food waste. When I try to buy over a weeks worth of groceries I find myself having to throw away things more often.

Exact opposite is true for my family. If I meal plan and shop once a week, we eat everything because everything was bought for a specific purpose. If we are more loose with it, we buy too much, and end up throwing out stuff. Of course, you could meal plan for 2 days or 3 days and also go to the store that often, but that seems like a complete waste of time. Save for the occasional spontaneous idea, or for things that can't keep for a whole week, meal planning and shopping once a week have cut down our food-budget and waste significantly. Of course, learning to buy the right amounts for a whole week takes a while. A couple of weeks at least.
The clerical error is in treating the money deposited in CD Baby's account as belonging to CD Baby. It's completely normal that one business has funds in its bank account which are actually owed to another entity, and that's the way that it could have been treated here. With some technicalities of law (does this mean CD Baby was running an unlicensed money transmitter?) that fall under the category of "gnarly account / tax mess to clean up".

> I'm sure all cyclists have stories of missed collisions with pedestrians because pedestrians could not hear an approaching cyclist and assumed the road was clear.

As somebody who cycles a lot (>4000km/year) in a major European city I encounter such situations nearly every day, but guess what: Such situations are totally fine for me.
Pedestrians are the weakest traffic participants so it's my job as a cyclist to take care I don't hurt them. That applies even more to car drivers and adding artificial sound to cars doesn't exempt them from this responsibility.

No, it's not. It's a multipayer component (it involves both federal government and non-federal — both private and state government — payers, the latter, private specifically, exclusively for Part D, and both together in an arrangement loosely similar to the ACA with a default public option for the combination of Parts A-C) of a multipayer system, with the government part forbidden to use it's buying power to negotiate drug prices but instead required to accept prices set by other participants in private markets.

Because saying 'they do' is setting an extremely high bar. It would be saying the matter's settled, and some people will not accept any level of evidence. Even a very few climate scientists don't, as you yourself recognise.

> Why not make a factual claim, such as: "Scientists have proven this actively contributes to the number of extreme weather events."

Ditto. If you are saying these things, what 'proof' would you find incontrovertible?

I don't understand your post, it talks about 'proof' in a way that scientists would be very wary of doing outside mathematics.

To "Temperatures are rising in the world, but the warming is strongest in the arctic." you respond "Nothing new" so you seem to be accepting climate change is happening

You then quote "Some prominent climate researchers are skeptical" and respond "Good for them. We'd better be" so you seem to think strong doubt is appropriate about climate change.

Which is it?

I can't even tell if you've any qualifications in this area (you may well have), and whether you accept or reject anthropogenic climate change, could you elaborate please?

Ask HN: How to reliably register domains in Europe?
Where do you HN people register important domains?

I have a domain that my life kind of depends on. I built my business on top of it for many years now. If I lose it, I would go from a comfortable lifestyle to zero income immediately.

Currently it is registered with a small German ISP, which recently got bought by a US company.

That makes me uncomfortable. God knows how professionally they run their business. If they make a mistake or maliciously take or sell my domain, God knows whom I would have to sue.

I think I should move the domain elsewhere.

What options do I have? How do you guys handle this?
