They actually don't accept everything "sent" and they have a law to send back to the originating country all the remains of the whole process that aren't the newly replenished usable fuel.
Planning shouldn't require approvals. If people are building a bunch of apartment buildings, the city can be aware of that without being able to prohibit it. And if the city planning office then chooses to wait until there is low water pressure before upgrading the infrastructure instead of doing it at the same time as the new buildings they're aware of are going up, whose fault is that?

It's worked well on safari because most of its users are people who don't care about those limits. Traditionally safari has been a relatively closed ecosystem (I haven't used it in a long time but I remember an entire lack of support for extensions at one point), so the people who would care about these changes never used it to begin with.

So now, when safari comes in with these changes that only add value compared to their previous offering (which again was substantially behind the competitors), users respond positively because the only users that remain don't know the difference between blocking the rendering of an ad and blocking the request to the ad server. So, when they hear "Ads are blocked", they don't understand the nuances that reveal to you that ads are not really blocked at all from a privacy perspective.

The reason Chrome didn't have a similar response is because the people who cared about these changes were already using chrome. So, when chrome announced an update that removes these privacy-protecting features, the users were knowledgeable enough to realize what the changes actually meant from a privacy perspective, and so responded poorly.

And even if the users were the same, safari added a feature (you can now kind of block ads in safari, compared to the zero adblocking you could do before), whereas chrome is removing a feature (you can no longer block requests to ad servers, something you could do for years). So of course the reaction to safari will be at worst lukewarm, because compared to the previous editions of safari it was an improvement.
Presumably you could reverse that logic, and say that the problem with online communities is that they are too comfortable, and don't expose you to people aren't easy to get along with. Growth requires challenge...
Is it possible to get the fine covered by malpractice?
When I looked for junior jobs in 2013 I had people knocking down my door to hire me. Back then it just wasnt as trendy to get into development.now that I have 7 or 8 years of experience it's still not a problem to find new work.

The problem is that opposite of 2013 there are way more people wanting to get into the industry than people willing to hire juniors.

This leads to a situation where there are simultaneously huge excesses of generic junior web developers and huge shortfalls of experienced people in targeted domains.

It is still possible to break though that initial barrier to entry but you better be ready to fight for it.

Right. RMS had nothing to do with the creation of Unix. He was off in the MIT AI Lab back then, working on ITS in a very different culture: He had a nice PDP-10 mainframe running an OS with plenty of creature comforts [1] as opposed to dmr and Ken bumming an outdated PDP-7 minicomputer to hack up something which barely qualifies as multi-user. (PDP-7 Unix supported two users at most!)

[1] (The ITS concept of detaching jobs is basically similar to tmux or screen on modern systems, in that you can create a job tree, detach it, log out, and then log back in and reattach it and everything will continue as if nothing happened... assuming nobody killed your jobs. ITS didn't really have a security model.)

Even the PDP-11 was underpowered compared to the PDP-10... but the PDP-10 was a dead-end. It was discontinued in favor of the VAX (a PDP-11 extension, hence the name) and attempts to resurrect/continue it (Foonly, for example) came to nothing. RMS got kicked out of his world, his colleagues got swallowed up by the proprietary software world, and he settled on making GNU an extended and improved Unix instead of attempting to port ITS to a workstation with a 68000 CPU and maybe a megabyte of RAM. To RMS, Unix was a good-enough system with a pre-existing userbase, not his ideal platform; the biggest concession to his roots he got was sneaking a real Lisp system (not mocklisp) inside of Emacs. ;)

(And he wasn't even the first to write a Lisp Emacs. Greenberg wrote one for Multics.)
This argument sounds a lot like the ones I heard about why Instagram would never be as big as Flickr. YouTube needs creators and if other platforms keep attracting them, YouTube could have a big problem.
The mere existence of a house on the other side of even a fairly big town can affect the fire safety of your house, because it affects the likelihood that emergency responders in the area will be overloaded by an excessive number of fires or medical calls.

IIRC there were three different kinds of handles, the documentation was a crock, the api did minimal checking, it was horrible. Fast maybe, but delphi succeeded so well because it hid all the awfulness. MS just didn't get it for years.
You can't keep greywater for much time (~<24 hours) without it turning to a stinking, fetid mess. It has to either be used immediately or filtered then kept sanitized (chlorinated typically).
Tocqueville wrote about something similar in Democracy in America (this is talking about American society around 1830).

He talks at length how he was struck by American's social connections. Everyone was in at least one social club. Organized for every purpose conceivable. Some were purely social, others were for some political advocacy. One huge difference between this and the medieval guilds is these associations weren't (near as I can tell) exclusive. People might belong to several.

It sounded a bit ... intense, but I do think we've lost something in the intervening centuries

> For example, populations with a high degree of Irish descendants have a higher then average set of a few noticeable traits like red hair, pale skin, the O+ blood type, etc. These traits also exist in other populations and someone that has 100% Irish ancestry for the last few dozens of generations is not guaranteed to have all of them.

Genuinely curious: isn't this an example of cherry-picking outliers in an attempt to refute the overarching rule? So what if it's technically possible to find a minority of non-Irish who exhibit some traits that are much more common among Irish people, and it's possible to find Irish people who are phenotypic outliers? In general, the fact that clusters in a dataset are fuzzy and imperfect doesn't imply that the clusters are meaningless.
So the argument for why remote callers should not be allowed is because the meeting is a great burden for its participants to commute to it and the burden must be felt by as many people as possible. Maybe we could make everyone happier by allowing remote meetings?

This is precisely why you have regional marketing teams. It's all situational, but IME a dedicated team for a region (APAC, EMEA, etc.) is better at executing than a single centralized global team. Typically the operational aspects can be delegated to the regions who know the individual markets best, while things like branding stay central.

Honestly, if you really rationally break it down, starting a business rarely makes financial sense when factoring in the risk. If you want to maximize guaranteed lifetime income, having a job w/ a high demand skill (That can remain in high demand) is probably the way to go.
But how do you know that there is more muscle? You only know that there is more mass based on the premise.

My point is that muscle cells across animals don't have significantly differing density. However, different individuals (of any species) may have different levels of glycogen and fat embedded in the muscle, which may contribute to your point of "muscle density". It is just a loser terminology of muscle density as such. Even then, I doubt that muscles mass for the same volume of muscle could change that much across individuals.

All in all, I am just arguing for more specificity in your hypothesis, because I think in its current form, it isn't adding much clear detail.
I was honestly pretty surprised how short Xi's reign has been. I guess a few decades will show which part of the list he falls under.
No, but the intent was to create a (clone of) Unix. And he (and his people) got most of the way. They just didn't get the OS kernel, but they got the utilities and the build toolchain.
They didn't know they went too far at the time, and it didn't become obvious for years. But they knew they were getting close at least, and stopped. We'd be worse off if they hadn't denied subsequent projects.
I don't think large companies just "extract value" from the small ones. They prove that the small company had a great idea and make the idea successful by providing sales, marketing and support that the small.company wouldn't be able to provide (if for no other reason than reduced risk and existing customer relations).
It is pretty dirt.
I just don't understand how people so heartless and selfish like this exist and are functional. It speaks poorly to society that one can be this way and not shunned. This person thinks their ego and perceived "respect" matters more than anything and a disabled person using accessibility tools is a slight? There is not a single shred of empathy there. It's just inconceivable to me to think like that.
> Looking at the text of the fine, you can't charge money to teach people things ("offer education" in their parlence) in a physical location without state approval.

It looks like you ignored a lot of the text of the order, such as the citation of exemptions, and the limiting qualifier “postsecondsry” before education.

> Could that be any more broad?

Well, no, it would be harder for it to be more broad than your mischaracterization.

> Seems like a first amendment violation.

Probably not even if it was as broad as you mischaracterize it. The first amendment does not prevent the State from general regulation of commerce, even if what is being traded is speech.

You and the grandparent aren't necessarily in opposition. It's fair to say that we are all influenced by our culture. We are aware of some things and may not be aware of other things. There are some things I reject and there are others that I just go with. There are even things that I like despite those things are just "how it is".

I guess the ring with a gemstone fight was a fight I didn't find necessary to fight over, especially since my fiancee was ok with a lab-grown gem. My fiancee and I sort of just met halfway (actually I paid only a fraction of what I would have been traditionally expected to pay). She wasn't too keen on a huge and expensive ring but I think she would have felt bad if people around her judged her negatively if she didn't have one. We all pick our battles and if I got most of what I wanted, I don't see a need to fight it all the way. It wasn't worth the energy to me and for her to fight it completely.

Plus, shiny things are pretty.
Team members on our oncall rotation make use of, and update, runbooks. These have the frequently-occurring issues and resolutions that responders need to be aware of. We make sure these get updated as our knowledge expands.

General project knowledge is somewhat scattered between Confluence and Dropbox Paper. Important docs may be linked from the code, but we haven't done a great job of, for example, ensuring future developers know where to find design/decision documents. I have seen some teams implement readmes or automatically pull some specially-commented code into Confluence, but that has mostly been for code at the infrastructure/framework level that does not change frequently.
Drug dealers have been known to sell drugs to someone new cheap (perhaps at a loss) to get them hooked, and then once they are hooked jack the price up. Uber is trying to do that with transport.
It might be - especially in the US, where you have to pay for it (or go into debt); but it could be worse, and likely worse scams were run in the past until they were stamped out by regulation.
The view that "Uber's main expense is the driver" is essentially backwards. The current economics are more akin to drivers paying Uber to find them business. Drivers pay for all of the physical expenses of a ride (like gas, maintenance, depreciation and financing charges) and provide all of the labor. Since it would almost certainly cost Uber much more to buy the vehicles, pay for the gas and hire the drivers as employees it is fairer to say "Uber's main income source is drivers".

AV only offers a growth story if you believe the drivers' earnings are high enough to more than cover the additional costs to Uber of buying, fueling, and maintaining the AV fleet. With AV prices likely to be significantly higher than traditional vehicles for the foreseeable future and since most studies show drivers' net income near minimum wages this seems pretty unlikely to me.
Trump proposes forcing hospitals to disclose discount rates with insurers
It doesn't involve all the interested parties and there's no way it could. That's what I'm trying to say. Maybe it's feasible for one watchdog organization to audit one polling station using your method. But it's not possible for every citizen to independently audit every polling station across the country, like you would be able to with the blockchain approach.
NetHack's source code is absolutely beautiful. It's probably the most well-kept, well-designed, well-structured and well-implemented K&R C program in history. Although they are switching to ANSI syntax soon.
It's even more amazing because NetHack is (1) a video game, where generally speaking code quality is sacrificed for efficiency, and (2) it has been developed by a constantly changing team of volunteers over the course of over thirty years, and there still isn't any spaghetti.

Yes. Seems to be a mostly variable cost business. That means you need to lower your per unit cost. This might be their plan.

As someone in my early 30s I'd never buy a diamond, or any precious resource really. Why spend a ton of money to tear up the environment or fuel conflicts, only to get something shiny? It seems like a terrible waste to me.

> A/B testing experiments

I'm used to this on web and mobile - because arguably their apps are their private property which I'm using, but there's something incredibly uncomfortable about my operating system running an experiment on me. I get that Windows is also Microsoft's property, but it's the lowest level in the stack, which makes my hardware more theirs than mine if they're able to do what they want with it.

I'm not even against telemetry as long as it's transparent.

Maybe I'll go back to Linux soon.
You're correct, it's not a donation. However Purism right now is important in a way Comcast is not. Their work on the software side is making the GNU/Linux phone a reality and it will help both vendors and makers a like in the future. Supporting the company is indirectly supporting the GNU/Linux phone ecosystem and may be one of the best things to throw your money at right now to push development forward.

On the Comcast side, they can get fucked. My whole city pays them a crazy high fee for internet and more a month with very little improvements being made in infrastructure. Sure they now a have a remote with voice commands, but I and most people I know are almost never near the advertised speeds. At least the latency is good.
I bought my lab grown diamond from a jewelry store.

I went in to buy an engagement ring and the clerk pulled out a few diamonds for me to look at, without telling me anything about them except that their prices were all similar.

I picked the one I thought looked the nicest (sparkly and big) and then the clerk told me about each of them.

The one I picked was lab grown. It was a higher quality diamond than the other two, and it was bigger, for the same price as a smaller, lower quality, "real" diamond.

(It wasn't a huge amount of money. Probably one or two hundred dollars.)
Megapack: Utility-Scale Energy Storage

Yup, also from selling bonds.
Can someone with insight into the matter explain, from a high level, what the big concerns are over Ubers ability to run profitably?

In my naive view they are "just running an app" / acting as a mobility marketplace and they make money on each transaction. Given the traction and market dominance they have this sounds like a really attractive business. So how do they manage to run such big losses every year and which items on the expense side are so crucial for the business that nobody at Uber dares to cut into them?
Maybe, but that's largely speculative. We haven't identified any particular combination of genes that (a) is almost unique to the Kenyan population and (b) has been shown to have a significant effect on long-distance running performance.

All we really know is that - not surprisingly - people who grow up at high altitudes tend to use oxygen a bit more efficiently than people who don't.
I agree this is a common archetype these days but it's still not a large part of the population - probably less than 20%, maybe less than 10%. Most people don't have six figures of college debt nor do they make enough money / have the kind of job that demands more more more in exchange for making you rich in your 40s+. Also this type of person has existed for a century at least, basically since the economy corporatized and white collar career oriented jobs became common

I think another issue is that those without career oriented / rich lifestyles live in a society that is not designed for them. Almost all land in areas where people live is privatized, so the area they can realistically use for social activities is limited to mostly parks, and in the US getting most places quickly requires some form of private transport. Digital media gives the most entertainment/$ so a lot of poorer people actually spend more time in front of screens than rich people, moreso for children. And much of that time is spent on social media which makes many people feel insecure or inferior.

Further, most people don't have any sense of progress or improvement or even purpose in their lives - which can be a foreign feeling to those of us who are better off. Religion used to be a cornerstone of people's lives, and is quickly losing popularity. Social mobility in the US is very low, and most people don't have any meaningful sense of "career progression".
Which resulted in a particular problem .... worst case an instruction could cause 21 different page faults (because of all the operands), that meant that every process had to be able to have an in-core working set of a minimum of 21 (512-byte) pages in order to make progress, at a time when memory was not cheap and plentiful
This is what I meant indeed. Edited original question.
Hey - Haven/OpenBazaar developer here. We've been working hard on this for a long time. There are a lot of little snags when it comes to running a p2p ecommerce system where you own all your own data, and then making it work on mobile, but we feel we've done a pretty good job at tackling them in a say that isn't a UX disaster. If this kind of thing is up your alley I hope you try it a and find it pleasure to use.
I always wonder if that kind of thing is them voting for something obviously good, e.g. "Orphaned kittens of Wisconsin Aid Bill of 2017" that has ostensibly good stuff that of course you'd vote for, but then tucked away in some sub-sub-sub-paragraph in 5pt font there's "oh and legislators can't join committee meetings via the web, ok thx plz sign the bill below"
I know promotional posts are annoying and I'm risking downvotes by posting this... but decided it's relevant enough to share a service my older brother built called NanaGram.co that helps with elder loneliness. The product's pretty simple: you SMS in your photos to a phone number and then then once a month they get printed and shipped to your loved ones in the mail.

It's honestly a very good way to keep your loved ones updated on your life and deliver some joy to their day. From experience, phone calls with my grandma before she passed away were much more interesting once she started getting regular photos too because we had new topics to talk about each time.

Want to be up front that I have no financial incentive to post this and am not involved with the product at all apart from helping to build the initial prototype. Just a proud of younger brother and happy customer.
I feel like having a big scary warning would be sufficient instead of making it inconvenient. It's easy for a competent user to ignore a warning that they fully understand while it scares off those that are clueless.
But then what's the planned payout for those secondary investors? Liquidating on the market would plummet.
