I'm not arguing for more or less regulation. I'm arguing that we have a societal interest in having some direct or indirect regulatory handle on many jobs that don't obviously require it, and cases like you're raising of the dishwasher, where regulation seems obviously unnecessary, are in fact indirectly regulated--and the costs of regulating the dishwasher, among other restaurant employees, are actually quite significant (meaning that '300 hours' of regulatory training, appropriately targeted at the business owner, isn't as obviously unreasonable as it appears).

You're holding up 300 hours of training for a dishwasher as a reductio ad absurdum of professional regulation of hair washers in salons, when what's obviously happened is a local regulation saying that salon 'workers' (again, actually independent contractors) need a diploma from a cosmetology school. 300 hours is less than 10 weeks of full-time school; a 3 month program teaching salon workers how to effectively, hygienically and with due respect for local business regulations, work in a salon. When you see 'even the hairwasher needs a cosmetology diploma', it's closing a back door where the not-a-cosmetologist hair washer is allowed to do all the things a cosmetologist does for cheaper--and without the required training to actually be an independent contractor.

I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone on my condo building's strata council (i.e. HOA). I'm continually dealing with the push and pull of rules at the most petty level, part of which means people being shockingly petty about avoiding the plain intent of a reasonable rule. You'll never see the truth of the saying 'decisions are made by those who show up' as you will in a minor bureaucratic positions like strata/HOA. It's a constant battle against senior citizens who want your garbage bagged up into one of eight separate classifications and the guy who argues that his truck that hangs six feet out of his stall in the parkade isn't a problem because the rule says "don't block the lane" without specifying by how much.

When the European Union wrote the human rights with Freedom of religion in mind, it extended the same protection under the same section to political views, philosophical views, ideology, live experience and world view.

The European court clairfied that it covered "views that attain a certain level of cogency, seriousness, cohesion and importance” or ”a coherent view on fundamental problems”."

Article 9 is titled: Freedom of thought, belief and religion. They very much view political and religions belief to be completely similar in the eyes of the law. An Atheism has just as much protection to believe and practice their belief as an Christan.

The law does not distinguish between a person speaking politics in the town center and a religious leader speaking religion. The same rights and restrictions apply, which is why for example a religious leader can get thrown in jail if they encourage violence against non-belives, just like how someone that encourage violence against people with dark skin will also be charged and thrown in jail.
For the local music scene in my city (Kitchener ON), if you want a quiet, respectful, focused environment in which to enjoy, skip the pub sets and go to the house shows instead. Almost all the local artists play them, and there are a lot that are pseudo-public. Like, they're not advertised openly, so you need to ask the artist to find out, but you also don't necessarily need to know the hosts— it's very much a friends-of-friends type affair, and in my experience very welcoming.
The interesting twist about building telescopes in Chile is that it gives the military industrial complex an excuse to build up to ‘protect’ them. Just like the Panama Canal, the Suez Canal the Hormuz strait and other internationally critical pieces of infrastructure. Sure people wont starve if a Chilean revolution takes over the telescopes and demands ‘taxes’, but the massive investment will protect itself.

You don't need a some third-party thing, you can create the profile yourself using the Apple Configurator. Agree that this should be an easily accessible system setting like OP suggests.
Let's just say you are a member of a group of people who have been in a constant cultural conflict with another group of people. For hundreds of years they've inserted themselves into your homelands, force changes to the culture to fit their needs, and generally been entirely disinterested in actively engaging with you as a coequal resident of their space.

Then, finally, you're able to find some ways to use their cultural system against them to get your needs met and your voice heard in your homeland. Some of this involves appeals to logic, but others involve appeals to emotion. To you, the ends justify the means. The stakes feel very high.

Now imagine some dude on the internet refers to you as a nitwit without really have looked at the larger picture of what your political action within your homeland means within the larger context of your struggle to maintain your culture and be represented as a coequal member of your homeland.

How do you think you'd respond to this dude on the internet?

I said this as a personal opinion; no idea how widespread that is. Boldface strikes me as a lack of respect for the reader. An adult reader is supposed to read the whole text. If there is non-important information, please omit it.

The idea if writing a short sentence at the beginning summarizing the action to take is sound, however. It is even better if it appears in the subject of the message.

Thoughts on Parsing Whiley (and Indentation Syntax)
Creating a wiring loom is a skilled task. If you keep those same skilled workers and make part of the job easier that's probably a good thing.

What sometimes happens is that a PHB will see the switch away from lacing and to cable ties and think that the rest of the job is now lower skilled, and they put lower skilled workers on that job. This is bad, because wiring looms are tedious to inspect and test, and we now need better inspection and test to compensate for the lower skilled staff.

Also, because cable tying tends to be done with a hand tool (reproducable tension, uniform cuts, speed of assembly etc) there's a small risk of repetitive strain. I used to use this tool, and it was okay if I was doing the entire loom, but it sucked if I had a big pile of other people's looms and all I was doing was adding cable ties. https://uk.farnell.com/duratool/d03033/cable-tie-gun-stainle...
>a lot of people were not

So what were they doing? Not lining their garbage bins? I find that unlikely. They were most likely buying plastic liners (ie. bags). In that case, the smart thing to do is to get them to switch to reusing their plastic bags, not making it harder for people who already reuse plastic bags to get bags.

>and their flimsy bags were ending up as litter

I'm not convinced that any meaningful amount of plastic bags end up as litter. They're used to transport something, typically to someone's home, where there's easy access to a garbage bin.
Is there any option right now as hackable as the Pebble? I'm not sure how I would build something like this right now that the Pebble is gone.
I'm in a buying club with a bunch of my neighbors. We buy things in bulk, 50lb bags of rice, 5 gallons of oil, etc. We split things up and people bring their own reusable containers. Saves a ton of money and plastic waste, plus get to make neighbors into friends.
I've been writing Pascal and Delphi for more than 25+ years and C and C++ for around 20 years and a bunch of other languages for at least a decade, yet even with the tons of additions that Free Pascal has added over the years i always find Pascal code way more readable than C or (especially) C++ code. It helps that the Free Pascal developers try to keep the syntax for new stuff "Pascal-ish".
INSTRUCTIONS—For those who wish to do this on their own without downloading and installing a third-party's profile to their device(s) (and have a Mac):

1. Download Apple Configurator 2 from the Mac App Store.

2. Open the app, plug in your iOS device, and click on it to activate working on it.

3. Command+N to create a new Profile.

4. Under General, fill out the mandatory info (only name is required).

5. Click Restrictions, then click Configure. Un-check the 10th top-level checkbox that says "Allow server-side logging of Siri commands". Take a look at other things you'd like to control.

6. Command+S to save the profile. Close the window.

7. Click on Profiles in left sidebar. Click Add Profiles. Select the profile you just saved. Ensure your device is unlocked, and it will be added to your device.

8. Go into Settings app on your device. There will be an entry at the top that says "Profile Downloaded". Tap into that and select to install the profile.
This also makes it easier to catch mistakes. If you had said "next Friday, August 8th", maybe you actually meant next Thursday.

FreeBSD ships perl5 in base, but python is an addon. I suspect other BSDs may be similar. The only thing more ubiquitous is POSIX compatible /bin/sh but that's much less featureful.

Because of the stability of perl5, I barely care what version of perl5 that ends up being. (Perl 5.10 and up is pretty much what I want, 5.8 and 5.6 are a drag if i might need unicode)

What I do has worked great for >10 years:
- Direct deposit paycheck into checking account 1(the main account)
- automatically transfer spending money to checking account 2 (I call it the Petty Cash account)
- auto transfer $x for the large recurring or known but infrequent bills into savings account 3 (I call it the Escrow account)
- Only issue bill payments from the main account
- Only walk around with debit card for petty cash account. I also use this for online purchases, Amazon etc
- As needed, transfer from escrow to main to pay off something big, like property tax or car insurance.

Play with the transfer amounts to suit your budget. This helps you not have to think about spending money, or if you have enough to pay rent that month.

Back to the furniture example from grandparent comment, I simply ensure that main has enough in it each month to cover the monthly expenses. HTH
I once worked at an organization where we programmed in Common Lisp. Several other programmers in other parts of the outfit didn't want to join our team because they thought having Lisp on their resumes would hurt their future job prospects.

These CS sayings (linked to on the github page for LF) gave me a chuckle:

From https://www.martinfowler.com/bliki/TwoHardThings.html :

"There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.

-- Phil Karlton

Long a favorite saying of mine, one for which I couldn't find a satisfactory URL.

Like many good phrase, it's had a host of riffs on it. A couple of them I feel are worth adding to the page

There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors. -- Leon Bambrick

There are only two hard problems in distributed systems: 2. Exactly-once delivery 1. Guaranteed order of messages 2. Exactly-once delivery -- Mathias Verraes

I can't really give financial, but believe me, after having to spend 30k$ more because of some problems, we only had about 6k$ to pay for 5k$ a month of expense. After a year, in a location surrounded by restaurants (more than a dozen), with quite a bit of event closeby, with quite a bit of people going around, the amount of people that found out about us outside of ads, is barely a handful.

After a full year, even while spending for ads, even if we can count on 1 hand the number of people that had a bad experience, we are still barely profitable and still, almost everyone only finds us with ads and not word of mouth. We still have a pretty big list of people that wait after our third room impatiently, I think there's not a day where there's not someone that mentions it.

The thing is, even if an escape room is fun, even if I think that anyone can enjoy them, sadly our public is a tiny fraction of the population and even if theses enthusiast talks about it to others, it just doesn't reach enough other enthusiast people.

> One is imagining that in a world without ads, her experience would be the same as her not advertising.

Then you would have to explain to me how she could reach people between 10 km to 300 km aways without ads in the first 6 months of existence.

> The other is that something that is bad for a given business is something that's bad for society.

Her business is great, people are all crazy about the experience, that's a few thousands of peoples that wouldn't have that experience that they enjoyed quite a bit, simply because they are too few in a huge market.

> For every ad you see today, ask yourself how much useful new information you have gained from it.

From the ads itself? More than 0. From the content that has been paid from it? More than thousands actually. I wouldn't have read your comment, simply because Hacker News is a place that advertize ycombinator startup.

> Note that the biggest spenders on ads are brands you've already heard of, suggesting that your theory needs some revision.

It's actually exactly what I'm talking about. You think about Coke regularly? I'm pretty sure you don't.

It's sad but in this world of so many choice, you need to keep reminding people you exist or else they may switch to another choice they may see more (doesn't even have to be ads related, could be just more people that consume it at that moment, could be a location that have a contract with that brand, etc..).

So both in a world where you are known or not, you need to remind people that you are a possibility to even be considered.

Even in the amazing marketing space that is a supermarket where you can extremly easily browse a good amount of choice, brands pay for the right of a specific shelf because that will sell more.

Imagine how much worse it is when you don't even have all the choices in front of you.

No languages are casual. I wrote Perl for about 5 years and was super productive with, but haven't looked it for quite a while. Most energy these days goes into JavaScript/node and it devolves into gibberish really, really quickly. The community really dove into the punctuation-based syntax, preprocessors and meta languages head first and created a real Frankenstein. And they'll complain that Java or C# are too verbose and slow to work with.

It wasn't for him to decide if this bicycle was abandoned or not. When you live in Japan you learn very fast how the law works. You do not touch anything that is not yours under any circumstances. In situation described as above you do not take the bike. Instead you call the police and report that is has been abandoned. It's trivial, really. And yes, maybe police was a bit prejudice in this case. But statistics and practice shows that vast majority of Japanese would not take this bike and this I can confirm first hand. Overall I think it was a good lesson. No harm done to anyone but the OP will remember for the rest of his life that he should not touch what's not his.

If you want to compose even better emails, learn how to be good with formatting. The linked article makes a fine case of how to.

Just like paragraphs (which are just another form of formatting) using indentations, list items, font weights and capitalization correctly will help you structure any text and get your point across more easily.

It's important to keep in mind that email is quite literally the only domain, where this is even a topic of discussion, solely due to legacy reasons. I do like not having font color and h2 tags abused, but the key to that is email literacy, not taking away formatting options, that are helpful in making the medium work better for humans.
There are costs that people overlook, or might not even make use.
Previously my dad (who's basically tech illterate), kept getting talked into getting Nexus phones by the local carrier. And once he gets the phone, and he's got questions, the staff that sold him the phone would hardly extend the help.

I got him (and my mom) iPhones, knowing that they cost a lot (and in my eyes, overpriced) because once they both are on the same phones, he could walk into an Apple Store, and get issues resolved. They could share with one another about how to use the phone, etc...

If it breaks, he could talk to a person to sort out what to do, and get swapped with a replacement.

I sold an old Nexus 6 to a friend, and eventually an OTA update borked it. He was on the phone getting the run around to recover it.

I know I could work with a much cheaper phone, but for the use cases above, I'm not just paying for the R&D and the hardware and a margin on top, but the services and peace of mind.
Not all energy is created equal. Plants (cotton, trees for paper) don't really compete with other energy sources. You just grow them, they "consume" sunlight and CO2, and give us products. Water use could be an issue, but there's plenty of areas of the world that have enough water (yeah if you grow cotton in Saudi Arabia that might be... not the most efficient). (In the future, this might change, but I'm not sure cutting down the forests and paving the planet with solar planets is desirable, even if they're more energy efficient.)

Unless of course they're saying that production of bags (from raw material) takes more energy than the whole oil extraction infrastructure... which I find hard to believe.

> I think it's reasonable to expect a developer to measure and present the correlation between performance and revenue.

I'll bite. Do you really do this? If so, I'm seriously curious about how you could conclude a straight line causation (not just correlation) between an increase in revenue by an increase in performance? Potentially for a large scale site like Twitter, Facebook where performance means less eyeballs, but even then it's just a correlation.
