Part of me thinks this is nothing new. Sure, social media has changed the flavour slightly but tourist honeypots have existed since forever... and in a way, they work. A huge number of people go to the Lake District and don't leave Ambleside; Ambleside prospers with its cafes and outdoor shops and the rest of the area is slightly less overrun for it. This was the case long before we even had digital cameras.

You'd think social media would disperse the honeypots as people spread out to emulate photos scattered over a greater number of locations, yet I gather from national park authorities etc it has the opposite effect entirely.

If we're not going to change human nature then I think that implies the opposite policy on "ticketed locations" mentioned by the OP: do charge money at honeypot spots, and reinvest it to repair the damage.
Where did I say I hate it? I actually quite like it, so no need to cry. But, despite of how much I like and enjoy the city, I would never live here if I didn't have a high paying tech job that can cover my living expenses and allow me to save a lot in the process, it would be what I personally consider massively irresponsible.

I come from a small and beautiful European country where my monthly SF rent could easily pay 12 months of rent of an apartment close to the beach and I would get free health care on top of that, so if tech jobs in SF were to dry up, guess where I'd be headed :-)

Can this project be used as a library and integrated into an existing program?

I am asking, b/c I am currently working on a little document management system for home-use.
It looks like the only sane way to integrate with document scanners is (S)FTP upload or Email (SMPT).
I have tried to use off-the-shelf FTP servers for this and inotify to get notified of new uploads.
The the solutions work OK, but are hard to setup and rather brittle (and limited to Linux).

Go seems to be the ideal language for this project, because its concurrency model and the ease of distribution (as single binary files).

- Has anyone here experience with building systems like this (integrating via FTP/SMTP)?

- Any recommendations for languages and libraries?
You need to know what visa specifically you will have.

If your company qualifies, and your job role qualifies, a L1(A or B) is the most likely route.

Do you work for a large multinational? L1B is for folks with specialized technical knowledge. The good news is, L1 visas are dual intent (like H1B) so you can later file for a green card. The not so great news is L1B has to go through the Permanent Labor Certification program.

I would plan on working for the company that you get the L1 visa with for at least a few years. Eventually you will be able to get the greencard, at which point you are free and can go work for anyone you please. 5 years after getting the greencard you can file for naturalization and become a passport holding citizen.

Lots of info online. Google for something like “L1 visa greencard”

Protecting consumers is a useful side effect but not the main goal. The real goal is ensuring markets continue to function, which indirectly serves consumers as well as stimulating economic growth by allowing businesses. Without regulation, the whole capitalist system reverts back to feudalism without any form of real competition.

Html and css are not hard; at least I’m aware of each topic listed at this site and either know it or know where the good reference is. The problem is that they are full of legacy, incompatibility, sometimes irrationality, they lack details and proper isolation.

For one simple example, give body 100vw 100vh and gray, vue #app 100%. You have just a gray page, right? Pretty trivial. Okay, now add h1 into #app. Page suddenly gets a vertical scroll of ~10px and a white bar of the same height appears above body. Why?

Because h1’s margin leaks through two parents up to the document’s top, document pushes body down that count of pixels, but retains its 100vh height. That’s completely absurd and entire html/css is drenched with this absurdness. You cannot find this behavior in layout systems of traditional desktop frameworks. And this one is just a trivial case leading to a problem. IRL a production-ready site is a tetris-inspired pack of properties set on :first/last-childs, 1-2px fixups for baselines, borders, etc that correspond to required design. Changing parts of it without messing up is so hard that css guys who I know always try to fix design at the beginning and cringe every time changes are made. They also try to apply rules only on specific divs and clear it for childs, trying to isolate effects. And then I read “CSS is Awesome” in yet another popular blog post and something dies in me at that moment.

I look forward on things like gss, manual positioning via js, etc. But then comes seo and tells that he requires wordpress and semantic cr%p and that google will not give a damn about pages built my way. /rant

IoT is a great success - in industry. At home, from what I can tell, it mostly divides into:

- People who want to feel like they're living in the Star Trek universe

- People with very specific needs, who might take advantage of a commercial IoT device or two in their overall setup
As for vertical farming, there is an interesting video debunking it by some professor of agriculture. In essence it boils down to the fact that the 1000w of light applied per square meter by the sun dwarfs all of the other inputs.

I don’t really get it. I studied film and therefore had to talk to many places about permissions (often without beeing able to pay any compensation) – usually just asking nicely and explaining whatbyou want can get you a long way. Sometimes people will even come on their day off and help you out.

This is about mutual respect: if anyone takes the time and effort to open a place for people with cameras, if what you want disrupts their usual flow, the least you should do is ask for permission.

30000 Lyme cases a year are reported by health services to the CDC so eventually some celebs are going to catch it, and since they make good news you'll hear about it.
On "chronic Lyme", it's been rebranded as post treatment Lyme disorder (PTLDS), it's acknowledged by the CDC [0] and they also acknowledge that some experts hypothesize it may be the result of persistent infection, others an autoimmune disorder. One John Hopkins study [1] found the typical symptoms of PTLDS do persist for some after treatment for Lyme and another[2] found a set of symptoms allowing them to reliabily identify PTLDS.
Any disease that lasts a long time and doesn't have a set treatment is going to attract quackery and plenty people will fall for it, but that doesn't mean there's no disorder there. The fact the symptoms can come and go makes it that much easier to associate their most recent treatment with a cure.

You have inverted the “care about”: if they simply did not care, it would be fine, as they wouldn’t be interfering with anyone’s rights. However, they are caring quite a lot, in the sense that they are willing to use violence to enforce these prohibitions.

From my european perspective, capital punishment is such a weird idea. Never I have came across strong evidence for a deterrent effect. And if you just quickly look at the Wikipedia article [1], it looks like it's really difficult to say whether it actually results in a more peaceful society or not (I mean Japan uses it extensively).

To me, it looks like something that has more to do with a country's culture than with actual scientific studies arguing for or against.

Full disclosure : I think we're better without capital punishment where I live. If only because it's easier to "fix" a mistrial when the convict is not dead meat.

But also because I think it's to powerful a tool for an autoritarian leader that would get elected and could use it right away. That does not mean that such a leader could not reinstate it in a country that does not have capital punishment anymore, but that would take more time and maybe some people could use this time to realize what kind of leader this person is.

Well that's my two cents. It is only my opinion, I'm not trying to offend or convince anyone else. And I don't presume any moral high ground for my point of view or anything. Just saying how I see this subject having been raised in a country that dropped death penalty since before I was born, is all.

(Trying to be extra careful here since it's a sensitive subject and the USA is not my country and English is not my mother tongue. Sorry if I offended someone).

It seems to handle a use case I was looking for.

I have a cheap xiaomi aqara hub that is homekit compatible, and I want to exports its data. Sadly usually the use case is to connect a non homekit iot to a homekit server from an apple device with homebridge. Here their HomeKit adapter use a lib called hap-controller-node that seems to be a homekit server. I will have to try this.

There are plenty of sharp edges in JavaScript to cut yourself on. For that reason I'd argue it isn't easy.

Compare it to something like C# where you could start pushing out code on day one. It might not be pretty or the most efficient code but there won't be any surprises, it will do what you expect.
This ui framework, if not abandoned by the tedium of win32 api integration, will make me sit up and actually try Rust for the first time. The TUI in particular looks great.

https://www.quora.com/How-is-China-able-to-provide-enough-fo...

It's a description of how China does farming at scale. Some interesting points: seafood farms (floating in the sea) instead of fishing, sensible sustainable (or "sustainable") cycles (e.g. fish -> fertilizer -> mulberry trees -> silkworm -> fish) (they also need aerators so the fish don't suffocate, and solar panels to power the aerators), massive amounts of greenhouses (including in places where it was previously impossible to grow vegetables due to climate), drip irrigation (Israeli technology for growing vegetables in the desert, saves a lot of water), returning farmland to the forest (to prevent mudslides).

>Actual production at Tesla's battery "gigafactory" is only around 23GWh/yr.

It has already increased to 28 GWh per the latest earning call, and it is still growing. Panasonic said they already installed the equipment for 35 GWh of production and will invest further as soon as they're able to reach that rate.
Indirectly related, living in the UK there seems to be a growing culture of 'fuck you' in this country. Not a lack of etiquette or the trivial please and thank-you, those I can do without, you can still be sweary and abrupt and still considerate, I mean a fundamental selfishness. It seems to be bigger among younger people, 20s to 30s, and I will emphasize that it's uncommon and that the great majority of people at any age still behave very decently, but I can feel it.
That reminds me of a discussion around a good (in my opinion) game called Mechanicus that had some poor performance. Unity got the blame for this, but as Subnautica (and plenty other games) has shown, good-looking and performant games can be developed using Unity, it's more an issue of available ressources (Mechanicus had like 1 full-time dev vs +- 6 for Subnautica) and skill. And without Unity, I don't think the Mechanicus team could have developed their game or it wouldn't have been as good.
I agree people lean too heavily on Free Speech when criticizing the government, but there's actually a long running debate going back decades regarding the extent to which OFAC specifically and the U.S. government's sanctions regime generally can restrict various communication and publication platforms and activities. Just a few months ago I think there was a story on HN about the IEEE tweaking their participation rules, and IIRC their lawyers were pushing back on the OFAC.

Here's a 2012 law review article (which I haven't read, yet), "Information Wants to be Free (of Sanctions): Why the President Cannot Prohibit Foreign Access to Social Media Under U.S. Export Regulations", https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3...

Arguably, Microsoft and Github are simply choosing to participate more strictly than what is legally required--including what's constitutionally permissible for OFAC to enforce. And of course that's the problem with these large, centralized, free services. They can kick people off whenever they want whether it was legally required by law or not, and they will because they're going to be very risk averse in situations where they're not directly deriving revenue. There are many other areas where corporations, in the pursuit of profits, play fast & loose with the law in the face of far greater potential fines and liability.

They could also be using that money in order to combat Epic and Unreal, especially given that Epic has a lot of money from Fortnite and their owners Tencent.

When it comes to using only GTK+ for the cross-platform use-case, it already has the Cocoa and Win32 back-ends built in via the GDK, which that API is abstracted to GTK+ so that work is already done. It maybe enough to solve the Rust GUI problem on Win/Mac/Linux, however the drawback to using GTK+ is that it will look out of place on other platforms other than Linux, because of the GNOME _look and feel_ it brings.

I think the author might have to support GTK+ theming options to counter this issue then? If not then perhaps using GTK+ for Linux and using the win32 and cocoa crates separately and abstracting that might be something worth looking at?

San Marzano tomatoes, the exact name, are the most well known of the relatively few varieties that have the appropriate shape and size to be canned (as you are stuffing a fixed number of Whole tomatoes in a can, shape and size is very important) and they are really good for canning only in a limited part of the South, e.g. near Caserta.
By "EC" I'm guessing you mean European Commission? This is appointed by the European Council and requires approval from the European Parliament. If the make-up of the Commission is a point of serious public interest then the public can democratically enforce their interest via their choice of heads of states and MEPs.

More concerning is the inability of the European Parliament to repeal legislation, but things are gradually moving to change this.

I think it's a matter of PR/optics, no matter how bad a situation may be Google are able to stay on message without coming across as untrustworthy idiots, whereas Facebook seem to only know how to make a bad PR situation worse. One recent example of this was how both companies handled the Apple enterprise certificate fiasco. Both companies admitted to using them for sketchy means (and both were knowingly taking the piss here) yet Facebook seemed to suggest that there was no issue with what they were doing whereas Google basically admitted fault right off the bat.

> Simply being tall requires a higher caloric intake, and thus puts tall people at a disadvantage

This is assuming that food intake is the only factor contributing to fitness. There are other possibilities. E.g. taller (larger) males may have advantages in competing with other males for mates, and thus be better at spreading their genes. Females who preferred such males would thus be better at spreading their genes down the generations.

> Evolutionarily, being tall means a lifetime of above-average access to food, and while that's desireable in a mate, it's just as much about the environment one lives in as it is the genes one's born with.

Evolution doesn't only concern the genes, as if environmental factors were distinct from evolution. Fitness is always a function of both genes and the environment.
How Job Stress Can Age Us
So what? Had gsuite/office been made by a 3rd party company, you would have counted them in, right? And had Google/MS not have a cloud presence so these products would have been hosted in a different cloud, they would have been counted in your estimation as well, right? This case is technically no different than the others.

It is a fact Office/GSuite are rather reliable and fast. It's a credit to their respective clouds, and obviously propels them forwards in their competition with AWS. The respective companies are right to include these in total revenue/marketshare, and it is good to see that they eat their own dogfood. We could have flipped that around and ask why Amazon doesn't trust AWS, but I recall that Amazon does have a few things there too...
