It’s an interesting idea, imagine the smallest viable size for a computer manufacturer is $10 million, then after that start applying progressively higher taxes to discourage market domination and encourage competition.

I don’t think it would work but there is some appeal to it.
To put this in some global perspective... Alibaba's one day sales event "Singles Day" last November grossed almost half that amount (i.e. $30B).

Is bauxite really new cargo? Or do they mean ship-operators need to be careful when switching to bauxite cargo?

And any particular reason for loading these cargoes with water? Why not dry?

Because otherwise the social safety net--Medicare and Social Security included--will collapse.

Maybe we shouldn't have those programs structured as they are now. But we do, and a shock to the system will result in unprecedented economic misery and social instability. If we want to talk about how to deal with demographic change, there's an important long-term conversation to be had about preserving the social safety net. But any solution that wants to avoid a potentially-catastrophic economic crisis must have a serious, realistic answer for this. Not building housing is a fundamentally unserious policy, driven by a preference for the suburban lifestyle and the fear of change more than any realistic concerns about sustainability.

Not mentioned already is that pizza is ubiquitous within the US. Pretty much anywhere you go, you can order pizza from one of Dominoes/Pizza Hut/Papa John's/Little Ceasar's/local pizza shop. If you're supporting events across the company, pizza is the easy choice, especially since it's easy to order in bulk and easy to clean up afterwards. And as already mentioned, it can be made gluten-free or vegan to satisfy most food restrictions.

Forged Titanium Parts & Components

The price of commercially pure titanium (CP) has risen sharply since 2003 to 2014, from $15.00 per lb to $30.00 per lb. It is an extremely light weight and high strength material.

At even $30 per pound, for a material that I'm pretty sure is stronger per weight than bone, even a dozen pounds is very do-able.
Police contract out this sort of work to companies like the one in the article.
> Management consultants nearly always have a conflict of interest though (i.e. the preoccupation of consultants is almost always "sell, sell, sell" rather than "help the client make money") due to the nature of their work and their short-term contact-based engagements mean they rarely have to stick around and deal with the messes that they create.

Not my experience at all. If you show value to the client and you build a trust relationship then you enter into a relational mode that is fruitful for both sides, and you skip/streamline all the tedious commercial topics (RFPs, competitors, beauty contests, the purchasing department demanding a 3% discount...). On the other hand, if you want to milk the cow dry then you end up on a very transactional relationship and you need to start cold selling from scratch after every project, which takes a lot of effort, time and energy.

In any case, again, the conflict of helping the client vs. overselling is hardly a consultant-specific topic; I’d say the smaller the shop, and the closer the ownership to the sales team, the more pressure there will be, in general. Case in point: the actual doctors that overprescribe opioids!

Nope. In that case YouTube is just forced to adjust their targeting - they're simply showing the wrong ads!

As another comment already correctly stated: kids do have indirect spending power by being able to manipulate the spending of their parents. This works particularly well with the kind of parent that uses YouTube as an easy and reliable pacifier - this kind of parent will most likely also take the easy way out of the situation of an obnoxious kid screaming and blaring about it's dire need for product X (as seen on YouTube), which means buying the product so the goddamn kid shuts up.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "those income taxes go to Scaramento"? I mean the state has to coordinate the money it collects, but doesn't it use that money for state-wide projects like roads, dams, and other infrastructure? I live in Los Angeles and pay CA income tax. I'm perfectly fine with the state using some of that money outside of Los Angeles. I often travel outside of Los Angeles, so I'm getting use out of whatever they make with it (assuming it's not just put into politicians' pockets). What is Sacramento doing with the income tax revenue that you don't like?

CERN has really done wonders to revive the project and get it organized again. Before that, the 2012 build became the last sane build from the project team for a few years. The project appeared to have lost steam and began to fragment. You had to download "latest" windows builds from some random server. Linux distributions stopped packaging at the 2012 build making it appear as if kicad was dead. This forced you to find a 3rd party package or build from source. Then there were a few forks to add features started by random individuals which were always unstable. Component names were renamed with stupid and confusing names to the point where I stopped using it. It almost looked like the project was dead at that point and this was 2014/15.

I recently picked it back up to investigate and was pleasantly surprised. It felt like the team dearly missed the sanity of 2012 version, continued from there and modernized it. Thank you CERN.

It appears that Tray.io is mostly situated for enterprises that wish to automate their API connectors using a GUI tool they created; allowing easy creation of APIs for businesses.

But compared to the competition however, Tray.io is has less supported APIs, no starter / free trials or signups (You must get a quote from them) and they are somewhat less flexible in customization options when compared with the other alternatives.

At this point, I would choose Zapier over Tray.io, since Zapier is basically the same thing but can be used by many developers from freelance to enterprise, free trial to try it out and supports more connectors. I cannot comment on Parabola.io though as I have not used it yet.
The package in Debian was updated four days before Ubuntu 18.04 was released. That's why the update didn't make 18.04 "automatically".

Since then, both Debian and Ubuntu have acted the same: not knowing about the vulnerability, neither updated their [release] packages. Buster happened to have been updated before it was frozen for release. Stretch was not, and neither was 18.04.

> tl;dr Avoid Ubuntu LTS because they don't maintain their packages properly.

By your logic, you should also avoid Debian then, since they followed the same process here. What got updated and what didn't was merely an accident of calendar freeze dates.

At the time I write this, Debian stretch is still on 1.3.4-1 and hasn't been updated. Ubuntu 18.04 has now been updated.
Your comment doesn’t address people raised in but prices out of a city.

I guess these days such people will have to either get top jobs, live with parents forever or move town away from their family. Or suffer long commutes from faraway suburbs or near but crime afflicted places.

Now arguably there is a sense of entitlement if anyone expects to live in their home town, and there are people with bigger problems. But it’s not necessarily old timers vs new people thing.
You still need to give those people roads, maybe even sewer rather than having them use a horrible septic tank. They will probably want internet as well...and not the crappy satellite variety. And schools...ya, that’s a lot of bussing.

(Based on another of my comment)

I don’t think Venezuela, Libya, or Iran is a fair comparison to Hong Kong regarding the progress or prospect of liberation/democratization. For one, Hong Kongers have been used to elections for almost 30 years now (since 1991), have practiced free press and rule of law, and mostly free of corruption, so I think Taiwan may be a closer comparison in terms of how liberation/democratization of Hong Kong would become.

The recent frustration towards elections in Hong Kong (which is also one root cause of the on-going protests) is that the elections are far from representative or universal suffrage (half of the seats in the Legislative Council–the functional constituencies–have pretty limited representation, while the Chief Executive is elected by a pro-Beijing committee of 1200 out of a population of 7M+), and that some elected members of the Legislative Council who are pro-Hong Kong got outright disqualified. A liberation/democratization of Hong Kong means such issues are fixed, which is more like Taiwan than Venezuela, Libya, or Iran.
> Do you have videos showing cattle, warehouses, trucks etc.?

No. And I surely agree with you that the explanations are probably broad generalizations. I have no idea how those that do it earn money in any specific case, but deforestation is really happening across the globe and definitely in Amazon forests too.

https://www.climatecentral.org/gallery/maps/amazon_deforesta...

Here is one description:

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/world-of-change/Deforestat...

"This pattern follows one of the most common deforestation trajectories in the Amazon. Legal and illegal roads penetrate a remote part of the forest, and small farmers migrate to the area. They claim land along the road and clear some of it for crops. Within a few years, heavy rains and erosion deplete the soil, and crop yields fall. Farmers then convert the degraded land to cattle pasture, and clear more forest for crops. Eventually the small land holders, having cleared much of their land, sell it or abandon it to large cattle holders, who consolidate the plots into large areas of pasture."

As the name of the area depicted is stated in this case: "The state of Rondônia in western Brazil — once home to 208,000 square kilometers of forest (about 51.4 million acres), an area slightly smaller than the state of Kansas — has become one of the most deforested parts of the Amazon" you can do your own research starting from there.

Also:

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals...

"The Amazon rainforest is the world’s largest, but in the last 40 years at least 20% of it has been destroyed. The Amazon basin covers nine countries in South America, with 60% of it in Brazil, and for a decade local photographer Rodrigo Baleia has documented the beauty and destruction of the region from above"
I wouldn't interpret it to mean literally one hundred years. The progression of hundred to thousand, etc, seems to be saying 'whenever it does happen...', the sun will go cold.
I'm not a fan of drug advertising (I want it regulated, not banned) but I don't see how it's categorically different than other advertising.

Chronic pain (and a whole host of other issues) aren't life threatening. Until the mid 20th century people just lived with chronic pain and tons of other things. Look at the kinds of TV ads you see, they're for drugs that minimize the symptoms of some some negative, but not life threatening thing. These are not essential products. They're luxuries of modern life that we consider to be nearly essential. Depending on one's specific situation having a smartphone or car may actually be more "essential" to daily life than having one's condition treated.

As an aside, drugs that actually save lives don't seem to get marketed much.
Soon these youngsters realize they need an event planning/calendar thing for WhatsApp, or a “page” for their business. And Fb can add it. Next, their own kids will get devices, and they’ll be on platform X that their parents aren’t on. And Facebook will quickly buy it. Repeat.

hey God here, just a note that I did put a small radio in everyone's brain for communicating with higher dimensions that mere physics can never touch. When this radio gets damaged, it falls back to 802.11n, and this slower connectivity is what causes the changes in behavior and personality. It's basically a connectivity issue. No, the processing isn't going on in the brain, but you still need a good, fast connection to the soul realm and at the moment the only way to do that is with the consciousness organ I designed. the brain is basically a thin client and the soul organ is the network card. hope this heps.

A country and its economy may be seen like one, though.

But regardless, the overhead-inducing parts of GDPR really kick in when a company grows past certain size (250 employees), at which point it should be perfectly capable of handling them. But more importantly, upstarts aren't some protected class. Just because an upstart can't compete against the incumbent without resorting to abuse of personal data, doesn't mean abuse of personal data should be allowed. GDPR protects regular citizens from collateral damage to their privacy caused by market competition. If incumbents can do a better job not abusing the data, maybe they should get the benefits.

(Also, it's adtech we're talking about. Personally I want neither the upstarts nor the incumbents to exist, and I couldn't care less who GDPR privileges here.)
> Apple got a lot of explaining to do for the market to justify its price tag.

If it were down to feature lists and price tags, Apple wouldn't be selling very many phones. It seems Apple might be explaining itself in a way that doesn't resonate with you, which is which is fine.

> I am wondering if part of the deal is making sure Apple sticking to x86 and Specifically Intel's x86 CPU on the Mac for at least another 5 years. No ARM or AMD Mac.

I suspect that Apple had a lot of leverage in this negotiation, since they were the main ones interested in using Intel's modems as leverage against Qualcomm. So Intel's modems are more valuable to Apple than they are to other players, including Intel. But I don't know anything.
> Making progress in (subtask of A) means we are making progress in (A).

Not always, but I will grant that it likely does in the case of emissions reduction. (consider a thought experiment - US reduces emissions from power generation by building a ton of coal plants over the border in Mexico)

The point was more that the Green New Deal can only address a small fraction of future world emissions, and that fraction is not large enough to prevent catastrophe. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't reduce emissions! Just that unilateral reductions might not be the way to go. (Imagine the US unilaterally giving up nukes in the 1960s and then trying to convince the Soviet Union to do the same - it would be far less likely than agreeing to both disarm at the same time. IMO negotiations on emissions reduction are like this)
Parent of two kids here, i'm curating videos for them as well. Maybe we could create a tool for group curating videos?
The legal frameworks surrounding privacy all revolve heavily around "reasonable expectations of privacy". I can't be upset if someone learns salacious information from the street through an open window; but if I close the blinds and someone intentionally peeks through a crack, they are violating my expectation of privacy and potentially breaking a law, even though I failed to secure that privacy properly by covering every square inch of the window.

In some cases, it can be possible to use E2E encryption to create a secret that is functionally impossible to discover. But even in cases where digital security is flawed, vulnerable, or outsourced to a third party, it's still valuable to us from a legal standpoint to maintain social expectations of privacy.
