I do not knew they where UK based. Why US law: Because like I said the US has the best laws in the world when it comes to freedom of speech, press ... in fact there is not other country that I know of that has "Freedom of Speech" defined like that in its constitution. They should move the HQ to the US then ;) For that reason that would be ideal. I love the concept of making everything legal to say because its leads to a more free society. But the US Government is working to destroy the constitution with all its power ever since. Brett Kavanaugh wrote a opinion on why he thinks the NSA spying on the world is within the constitution to name just one thing.

And yes I am not native English speaker. What gave it away? In Germany for example you not only go to jail here if you do not believe the holocaust (I for sure do) happened exactly like its in the history books, you go to jail if you question any single detail about it! In fact you are not allowed to try to make a case that includes "evidence" about it to make your case in court. A women went to jail for exactly that! I find that disgusting to jail people to believe in whatever BS or not they want to believe in. It starts WAY before "denial". Just maybe (I for sure to not believe it) there were some things that were not 100% correctly recorded. And we know the the winner always writes the history. So I do think its way healthier to have a open discussion about it instead of overreactions like that. They are ousted and punished in the court of public opinion anyway, jailing people for having the wrong opinions about things is exactly where the SJW PC crowd wants the world to move to and the perfect counter to that is US law!

And it may sound silly but I can see a resemblance with modern leftist ideology that you are not allowed to question parents who gender switch their kinds b4 they even know what sexuality is and extreme things like that that creep into the mainstream more and more. Or that a Steven Crowder is not allowed to earn money anymore on YT even though he did not brake any guidelines as they have admitted. He is not allowed to make fun of a gay and call him queer when he called himself that on twitter or whatever that was. While saying people should be milkshaked he campaigns of getting "Nazis" removed from the internet. These kind of people are now moving their bullshit into the software world. Or that you are not allowed to simply do not like gay people. Like I said I think hate is legal and modern life happens in social media so why crate new laws for it instead of making social media the public square that is already is and giving it the same law that the US has for a public square. If you have somebody expressing opinions you deem offensive on the streets you can not lawfully remove them, what the cops actually do is a different story and may lead to payouts later if the cops to unlawful arrests.
>The real problem is that zoning is decided at the local level; local turnout is not very high, so it doesn’t take that many concerned homeowners to overthrow someone who is too pro-growth.

Hence removing the subsidies or at least making explicit the cost of subsidies, so people are incentivized to go out and vote for increases in supply. Another option is to hand over ownership to government and make everyone do land leases to make them participate in the market and therefore vote the “right” way. Not a perfect solution of course.

One thing we've learned in is that surprisingly simple rules and behaviour can produce complex results. We learnt that our intuitions about the necessarily complexity are often quite poor. We see something complex and tend to think it requires that what produces it is of a similar level of complexity.

Even if further research couldn't show things were simpler, that's no evidence for believing they'll be more complex.
A couple of quick questions:

1) Who's behind the project and what's their motivation?

2) Where's the source code? (OK I get this is not an open source project. Why?).
We can increase supply by a lot in most places, just not single family homes with garages.
On the contrary, low level metrics become more important the larger a system gets, since the quantity of low probability events (e.g. cosmic ray bit flips) increases.

Without those "irrelevant" low level metrics for a large growing distributed system, you're not only flying blind but crashing increasingly more and more often.
It also has a FTA with the EU.

"and is also not subject to the colonial 'english-only' education system that is ravaging India and causing large-scale unemployment."

Why should this be a problem?
Getting distributed systems correct is very hard. Mainframe architecture allows one to program and deploy as if you had a giant computer with consistent transactions for the most part. Since banks were the early adopters of computation in large scale it’s clear why most still run on mainframe - the transition to cloud architecture isn’t a simple translation, you need to glue a lot of things together to the same levels of parallelism, and probably sacrifice some consistency that you get “for free” on mainframe architecture.

Cloud is cheaper ($ per cycle) at the expense of human brain power to glue it all together.

You can tip the balance a bit by having an annual property tax with a discount/exemption if it's your main residence.
If you weren't appealing to authority you could make your point without referring to an authority. But what you told me was that there is an authority who said something that I am not allowed to dispute without also becoming part of said authority. Hence my reaction: your appeal to authority isn't convincing. Feel free to use exactly the same arguments your authority would use, but just saying "because they said so" won't convince me.

A treadmill might be ok. I wouldn't object to trying it, but it definitely increases the cost and complexity of a standing workspace.

When I stand, I very rarely just stand still. I shift my weight from side to side, roll slightly onto my toes and back to my heels, and sometimes elevate one foot on a stool under the desk. So my position is never static.
Likely, we will review that statement in 2038 at the latest.

I use the ergodox ez Shine with cherry mx clear switches. https://ergodox-ez.com/. This is my current layout (tweaking it all the time) https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/ZPn5v/la....

The biggest benefit is the comfort level of a split keyboard with tent/tilt. I've used some Kinesis keyboards and a Mistel Barocco and those are fine, just get a split keyboard with tent/tilt.

The ortholinear layout took some getting used to, but now I very much prefer it. However, everything else about it I liked right away: split, ergonomic, mechanical, easily programmable, controls the mouse, dual-function keys, etc. And I've gotten used to the ortholinear and very much prefer it.

The 2 complaints I have are the thumb clusters are not ideal for me (it's difficult to reach the 4 small keys), and the tilt kit doesn't tent/tilt enough for me, and it's difficult to keep it in the right configuration.
Java checked exceptions were copied from CLU, Modula-3 and C++, even though Java's somehow made them famous.

In the Netherlands we have the good tendency to take these away from politicians: any extra budget MUST be used to lower our national debt, not to lower taxes or 'buy votes' for the current people in charge.

This takes away the incentive to sell off public goods for their own short term profit.
Thanks very much for the suggestions. I'm on the Weiss book now!
There were also articles warning that the IC4 debacle (it has a massive page in the Danish wikipedia, the "IC4 saga") could lead to the bancrupcy of the Danish State Railways, DSB. So yeah, it has been an astounding failure.
Thanks for your answer.

This is money that I can certainly "tie up" for quite some time. I'm talking about a very small amount in the US context but a good amount compared to local standards, around $4.000 USD.

What I really don't want is that money to lose value after bringing it home and having
to pay 30% on local taxes to a corrupt government that will do almost no good to me or the community.

I'm looking for anything, not necessarily stocks, that I could invest in online, that accepts PayPal as a funding/payment source and that keeps my money from losing value to local taxes. Stocks in the US were my example because I really thought it would be an investment that the government in my country would find difficult to tax me for, but from your very well explained answer I understand it might not be my best option now.
You can't make a sphere entirely out of hexagons; the math doesn't work [1]. In the article they note that they include 12 pentagons too, to solve this problem. Neatly, they arrange to have all the pentagons in areas of water where they presumably won't have to analyse traffic patterns for a while.

(I mention it mostly because I think it's an interesting little mathematical factoid.)

If "you can say whatever you want. No exceptions" is your definition of free speech it doesn't exist. ANYWHERE. Not even in the US. All speech in all countries has restrictions.

The US has slander, for example, which can certainly land you fines or jail time. Lying in certain circumstances too.

>are just contraptions to censor people, usually the political opposition.

Which political opposition is being censored in Germany that isn't just a reincarnation of the NPD/PEGIDA/MLPD? And please don't bring up anything that is a decision by a private entity, they can "censor" all they like and it wouldn't violate any free speech laws at all.
I'm trying to write an elisp macro because yes.. f-strings are too convenient
We're human. We see _everything_ as something to make a profit from, and will do so if the system allows it.

Even if you don't want to, _somebody_ will, so you're a chump if you don't.

The solution here is to fix the system allowing it (after all, the above logic could apply to slavery just as easily). For starters, break up the housing cartels, also known as "community planning boards".
I wouldn't mind DLC and virtual slots model, if only it delivered better games in the end.

In reality games became just a gateway to these slot machines or DLCs. i.e. development happened only in one direction: money.

There is no way to explain how 15 years ago developers were able to build incredible open worlds with hours of dialog and tons of possibilities worth 100s of hours of gameplay on a single pay model, except priorities change in the industry. Fast forward 15 years - all the progress and tools, developing practices, experience accumulated in the industry - but no real progress or innovations.

There are still games that push quality mark forward, but mass market is going away from it. Companies like EA have to make a choice: do we fund this game that will sell for 60$ and give 100s of hours of diverse gameplay or do we fund this online game with proven gameplay and sell ingame items for 1$/piece for next 2 years. Both of these games not only differ in terms of money they make, but also in terms of time people spend on them. So EA is better not to fund game 1 at all, to let people spend more limited gaming time on the game that has a potential for more profits.
"the US has the best laws in the world when it comes to freedom of speech, press"

Some people do like to say stuff like that, don't they? There's actually precious little which can be written/published/broadcast in the USA which is prohibited is most other countries; certainly not western ones. I don't remember the last time a writer had to claim asylum in the USA from France or Portugal or the UK to get their ideas published. Sure, there are restrictions on denying the holocaust; libel laws differ from country to country.

"They should move the HQ to the US then ;) For that reason that would be ideal."

You think if f-droid moved to the US they'd suddenly want to be hate-speech enablers? How have you managed to read the linked-to page and do all that typing without comprehending that f-droid didn't pull access to that app because they live in an oppressive dictatorship where you have no freedom of speech, but because they decided it was the right thing to do?

> If you sell games for $60 upfront then your marketing will be perceived as a scam in the face of any failures or shortcomings in your game. You're trying to hype people up and sell them something bad.

Between Steam's refund policy and review system this is basically a solved problem.
I'm a member of a club in the UK which raises money for charity - we've stopped giving money to corporate charities because their overheads are such a high percentage of their takings - at this point they're largely just self-perpetuating bureaucracy machines.

We give cash to small volunteer-run charities where we know that 100% of the money raised goes to the cause in question.
Try adding olive oil to as many Abs After Forty Review foods as you can for extra calories without the volume of food. Taking small glasses or shots of olive oil is also a great way to squeeze in more calories throughout the day. Aim to eat plenty of calorie dense foods throughout the day between meals and try to eat a total of 6 times a day.

Do not fall for supplements companies claims that their products are better than food, this is a lie. Supplements are good for convenience if you cannot eat a meal but always aim for real whole food first. When considering muscle building for skinny people, diet and nutrition is often forgotten but it usually forms a crucial part.

Studies have shown that skinny people or "hardgainers" respond better to less volume per muscle per workout, but more frequently. Therefore full body workouts 3 times a week is a good muscle building routine. You could also try 4 days a week, with an upper and lower split to see if your body reacts well to this stimulus.

Do pushups take skill to perform. Can pushups be classified as advanced. I guess the answer to these questions is "it depends". Your standard pushup is pretty straightforward. Begin with your hands shoulder width apart, keep your shoulders, butt and feet in a straight line, keep your eyes focused two feet in front of your head and lower yourself under control. Most people can handle this pushup.

I'm mixing them because they are mixed. Go to any gaming community and look at what they're talking about. Justified and unjustified complaints, with the main focus on monetization and how evil the developers are who are manipulating them to pay.

What I want to figure out is how to monetize a game that removes the assumption of bad faith and detoxifies the community. I came to the conclusion that it has to be free. Every other monetization will lead to the abuse we see developers receiving.

>I would pay $15/mo for ONE service that has a ton of old content.

Exactly, this is why I love Spotify and am worried that players like Apple will use their cash to break of the market and buy songs exclusive to them.

Jay-Z tried it by only releasing his new album on Tidal, Apple bought exlusive rights to a song named 'Freedom' (lol).

I really hope we don't import this exclusivity to the music streaming business.
It may not have been a fair trade, but then it wasn't a trade in the first place. Those all seem to be problems with the process itself, meaning that it could have happened any time a contentious feature came up, this just happened to be the one to trigger the problem.
I believe it does use MAC addresses, just obviously the link layer is different. I'm not 100% certain though as I haven't gone deep into 4G!
Your neighbours have been confiscating property for the sake of parking welfare and density restrictions (i.e. forming a housing cartel). I think that's more likely to be your problem.
There's a big difference: it's more likely that someone from your community shares cultural values and is interested in building a sustainable community.

The simple conclusion is that there were never any morals involved. There was only greed and selfishness, that in some cases just so happened to be justifiable as moral.

Of course, I believe that consumers should have good (but reasonable) protection, as consumers are usually the weaker end of the transaction, with the least knowledge and capacity, and due to an evil customer being able to do far less harm than an evil company. However, one side isn't any more moral than the other.

My only problem with this incident was that I didn't get a chance to get in on it... Instead of having to make excuses for myself as to why upgrading to full-frame can wait a few years as it's too expensive, I could just have done it now. One thing is getting a good deal, but getting something today that would otherwise only be possible in the future is something entirely different. You cannot set a price on gaining time.
I didn't say that ideal exists anywhere. The US certainly gets much closer than any European countries I know.

Many German citizens have been raided, sued, fined, jailed or otherwise silenced because they criticized the current government, in particular the political decisions since 2015. Many people are opposed to that. And most of them are not of the group you mentioned.
This attitude is exactly why I feel safe buying from amazon and will continue to do so. If they were sending lawyers over a few bucks like Nintendo regularly does, they would have landed on my blacklist, just like Nintendo did. This attitude is imho one of the most important assets of amazon and they'd be stupid to throw it away over peanuts.
Theoretically, it could be done. Practically, home ownership makes everyone a Nimby, pulling up the ladder for everyone who doesn't.
It is not really undefined behavior when you have single hardware that will behave in a very well defined way. Old console games have all sort of hacks that allows them to do stuff that the system is not designed for. Having such a basic hardware with no security checks allows a lot of potential!

Also isn't vertical split quite common? I would assume this is something the hardware designera thought of, not a game company figuring it out. They even put stuff like sprite 0 hit bit for this kind of tricks
I like to think that lisp is its own fixed point.
I didn't know this exists and I'm an amazon customer since 2001 or so.

It depends on the game and on how it's advertised. And I personally prefer 10 fun hours than 25 padded to hell and back. Other than Portal, there's also the latest Wolfenstein game, which had less than 10 hours of gameplay.
There are networks of precise GPS receivers in known locations creating permanent reference networks [1] [2] [3]. High precision applications can gather 'observables' for a few hours then 'post-process' them, comparing them to the data from the permanent reference network, to achieve sub-centimetre accuracy.

Now, obviously these networks will have spotted the outage on their own if they're any good, but extra reports amount to saying "Yep, we saw that too"

GPS is also fairly old and run in the aerospace-and-military tradition where every outage requires an announcement made in NOTICES IN ALL CAPS because that's what pilots did in 1950 :)
