In many ex-Eastern block countries (for example in Lithuania) there are repatriation laws that allows you to get back citizenship if you or your (grand)parents that had citizenship before 1940 ran away from country during or after WW2. Of course this needs to have papers that would prove that.

The rural poor face some of the same problems as the urban poor (such as car dependency), combined with a whole host of problems unique to rural life. You're right to point out that rural development is widely overlooked, as is the plight of the rural poor.

The German government is most likely deeply, deeply ashamed and embarrassed that its own engineers would have 'cheated'. Not only is Automotive Engineering the pride of the nation but a lot of German industry and investment was tied to Diesel as a future low emissions transport technology.

They're going to follow and prosecute this like blood hounds.
I agree with you in principal but Brexit wasn't a direct economics vs sovereignty trade-off. It's not clear that the UK will actually benefit in the categories you mentioned as a result of Brexit.
It should be noted that their findings come entirely from a model they built, and the model was built using existing purchase data. They did no empirical work to verify the model results.

This is my favorite comment in this whole thread. Looking back on big failures in history, it's too easy to point out the obvious mistakes or logical reasons why it failed, how unrealistic their dreams were.

That narrative doesn't take into account that notable successes in history, major innovations, were born from basically the same ingredients in a shared cultural context. The difference was (at least seemingly) often just a slight chance variation in conditions, being in the right place at the right time, working on an idea that happened to be ready to blossom.

I love the parallels you draw with exotic fungi, how sensitive these ambitious ideas are to its environment. There are so many ways it can fail, and the reason for success is often elusive and serendipitous.

> Science and engineering are perhaps more like the arts than we tend to think

This seems related to how great art and music are often born of a "cultural milieu", like the jazz scene, or Paris cafe culture in the 1920's that fostered poets, painters, musicians. I imagine Xerox PARC was like that, a vibrant intellectual subculture of creative people who worked in the medium of technology.

Speaking of the muse, I like the popular expression, "The elves have left Middle Earth." There's a kind of indescribable "magic" that can inhabit a place and time, pulling everyone around under its spell. Then, as mysteriously as it appeared, it's gone - leaving behind relics of wonders, art works or artifacts, that reason alone cannot explain.
Ok so why isn't the 2012 mbp hated because it doesn't have that key?
OK, maybe the UK wasn't the only one (I edited my previous comment), but the overall point remains when I read things like the following (article you linked to) from the European Steel Association (are they left-leaning?):

"The fact is that the UK has been blocking this. They are not the only member state, but they are certainly the ringleader in blocking the lifting of the lesser duty rule,"

Taking into account that many small EU countries don't have a steel industry so may not have a strong view beyond wanting cheap steel.

Then, the results of the EU referendum are public facts. The areas mentioned heavily voted for Brexit.
It's interesting how we thought banding was a solved problem back when we moved from 16-bit to 24-bit color. And it was, for a while!
> That might be the case economically, but this isn't the future that I or end users want

It might not be the future you or I want, but it is the future that the majority of end users want. Market forces don't always work for getting users what they want (see privacy) but in this case the money is talking. Slack's desktop app is a classic example of being a memory hog, but Slack has been enormously successful.
But in our industry, it is seen as normal for our text editors, ide's, git clients and video editing software and our messaging clients to be expensive in memory and cpu time.

I attribute this mainly to the younger generation of developers, most of whom have never experienced computing with fewer resources, nor have any idea of the amount of resources something should take. That can partly be blamed on education and the "premature optimisation" argument that still gets thrown around as a random excuse to do something terribly inefficient.
As the article mentions, he was the British consul in Algiers from 1763 to 1765. At the time, Algeria was a vassal state in the Ottoman Empire and far from being colonized by Europeans. On the contrary, during the 17th century Britain had excellent relations to the Barbary pirates of the region, cooperating against Spain and France in the form of Anglo-Turkish piracy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Turkish_piracy
No, you can be an ML practitioner with just an intuitive understanding of, say, gradient descent works and you would do fine. You can even pick up that intuitive understanding on a strictly need-to-know basis, when it's needed for learning an ML technique. That's what fast.ai teaches.

For being more than a practitioner, like an implementer of new ML libraries or a researcher, of course you'd need to know more.
Safety and ‘explicit permit from the original manufacturer’ are unrelated. If they had required say crash test data that could have been a safety issue, but permissions from the manufacture is simple corruption.

Of course they are mostly older articles; the protests have dwindled to the mere hundreds, down from over 300,000 nationwide. During the height of the protests, they were covered extensively by the BBC -- it's misleading to criticise their coverage with "BBC in 2019".

The BBC's latest article, which I linked, was 14 July. The BBC aren't alone in this: it's also the most recent French protest to be covered by Reuters, CNN, and other major news organisations.

The Hong Kong protests are still a major, significant event. The French protests have dwindled and are no longer as relevant.

Point in case: Audi is a Bavarian company and the prosecutors are in Munich. That in a state with it's fair share of affairs between industry and politics is already telling a lot. And don't forget Stadler was jailed for quite a while for witness tempering. Not a good idea if your calls are under police surveillance.

EDIT: Just how embarrassed our government really is is a good question. The role of our regulators is still not really clear. Prosecutors in Munich even went so far to subpoena the KBA (German automotive regulator). Fun fact, the German traffic ministry is and was lead by members of the Bavarian majority party. That implies some gits at the prosecution side.

EDIT 2: Almost subpoenaed the KBA.

Kafka exactly-once semantics addresses the main issue of the article I think.

It's now relatively simple for a developer to implement a system with exactly once guarantee as long as you take care of the world that is not inside a Kafka transaction (integrations with third parties and such), which is still not super easy sometimes, but less so then the distributed transaction that will happen inside Kafka.

Kafka hides the complexity really well from my use of it so far is very reliable with the "new" semantics.

It's gonna be very hard unintentionally build a deathtrap if you're starting with a modern car and not going out of your way to do dumb things that make it likely to go up in flames.

Furthermore, in the case of an EV conversion you can basically just make sure the EV power-train does not occupy physical space that the ICE power-train did not and your crumple zones and airbags will work fine.

Edit:

Making batteries that don't catch on fire is a solved problem. Getting those electrons to the motor without starting a fire is a solved problem. You really only get fires when you're trying to push the performance envelope which is generally a low priority for commercial conversions.

Cars are not hyper-complicated non-deterministic black boxes. It is possible to modify them without causing unforeseen consequences. Just because you may personally lack the expertise to understand how the systems interact does not mean that nobody can understand it. A qualified engineer with an automotive background should have no problem creating an EV conversion that is every bit as safe as the base vehicle though it will probably be slightly less efficient in terms of materials and labor usage than a conversion for the same vehicle designed by an OEM team for manufacture at scale. The OEMs don't have people that are magically smarter, or different laws of physics if anything they will have a harder time engineering an equivalently performing system because they have many more constraints to optimize for than a conversion company.
Trade Continuity and Future Ambition – The UK After Brexit
Back around 2003 or so I was in NYC visiting one of my fraternity brothers, and I made a right-on-red and he screams at me "Yooooooooo, what you doin?!?!" in his surprisingly thick NY accent for a guy originally from Shanghai. I had no clue that was illegal, it's not like they had signs stating it. I'm from Philly's NJ surburbs but I almost never drive up to NYC. Seems like a policy designed to easily ensnare out-of-town drivers.
A healthy coal industry would seem to be fundamental to having a healthy steel industry.

In 1971 there was ore and coal being mined in the UK. Maggie Thatcher got rid of the miners so coal has to be bought on the open market. The ore for steel went similarly to having to be bought on the global market. The UK is no longer an island of coal in a sea of fish.

Economically it makes more sense to ship steel from where the ore and coal is rather than to ship the raw ore across to the other side of the world.
I'm skeptical that this will turn into a conviction. The deep pockets of the auto industry takes them a long way into the different state and federal governments in Germany.

Theres no more right or wrong with vpn's as you can still work out what type of traffic is passing down the wire by the volume of encrypted traffic. YouTube traffic surges which gives you an idea they are watching YouTube, large file downloads like Linux distro's will be typically a continuous consistent level of traffic, webpages are short and brief. Googles services like DNS, api's etc are also joined up in realtime but DYOR. The NSA's Ghidra is a useful tool to start with and is superior to more expensive reverse engineering tools on offer.
I’m amazed that I’ve never seen this.

I think this deserves an HN post of its own. Absolutely fascinating to see so much basically correct (climate refugee crisis, massive efficiency gains, enacted carbon tax, free falling PV prices, my efficient smart home setup) with so much off target (widespread telecommuting! 9 billion population! A world Japanese world government!) That seems preposterous now.

Yeah, if the environment is tightly controlled with known configurations and not too much congestion, it’ll work alright. But try with a spotty connection, differing MTUs, irregular latencies, etc.

I am much more intrigued by the attempts at breaking out of networks by tunneling over DNS (where that flavor of UDP traffic is let through) and ICMP (when not blocked).
>In particular, the Court is doubtful that the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act may be invoked by LinkedIn to punish hiQ for accessing publicly available data; the broad interpretation of the CFAA advocated by LinkedIn, if adopted, could profoundly impact open access to the Internet, a result that Congress could not have intended when it enacted the CFAA over three decades ago.

>So the issue is that no other country in the world will take them? Even if we assume that’s true, that’s reason enough to be grateful.

...but you're ignoring the principle that people are flippantly telling them, "If you don't like, just leave!", which is what brought about this discussion in the first place.

It isn't a realistic option when such barriers exist.

>People are literally dying to break into the country for the opportunity that these folks are complaining is inadequate.

This logic doesn't work. People are literally dying to get into the EU and people from the EU emigrate, yeah? If everyone believed in the exceptionalism of their own home country, then no one would leave!

Also, they're probably not complaining about the opportunity as much as other factors, like society (en masse [e.g.: American society, Russian society, Chinese society, etc.]).
Yep, paying just gets you extra Qt features and allows you to make the whole application closed source. The community version requires you to keep the Qt portion of the application under the LGPL, but you can still keep the rest of your application closed source and just link agains the Qt code.

Having said that ... I sort of believe the next massive technological revolution will occur when we work out a way to manipulate energies one or more orders of magnitude more dense than we presently can.

Presently we have approximately 2kW electric outlets, approximately 100kW engines in our cars.

Imagine being able to manipulate 2MW at the home outlet, or 1GW in our vehicles.

I don’t know what it would look like to be able to dissipate that much heat, we’d have to improve conversion efficiency to limit the waste heat.

I’m just thinking if we could work out how to handle that much power it would be truly revolutionary off-the-planet sort of business.

How is the time of "solar system formation" defined?

Presumably a system slowly forms out of gas and dust but at what point does the accumulating material cross some threshold to where it is considered a new system? Solar ignition?
Indeed, brexit (though America don't call independence day Amexit!) for many hasn't happened and what we have is a case of still being in the EU and many trying to chuck everything in the way to keep us there. So really it's more how the leave process is being derailed left and left-again, that has and does cause the issue. After all, until it happens, everything is based upon perception and pushing a doom picture utterly suits those who wish to not leave the EU.

Put another way, nobody blamed joining the EU for the demise of way more manufacturing and indeed the coal industry. Yet that is what happened. Cheaper EU coal imports, then eventual erosion of manufacturing bit by bit. But that gets overlooked oddly enough.

Still the UK shifted from manufacturing to services, albeit many EU trade deals and indeed their own members, kinda fall foul in how they handle services with the EU actually looking at punishing members for not opening up their services market.

But in fairness, whilst the EU is not perfect - nothing is perfect.

Commenters so far haven't actually answered your question. They just gave examples where the 2 enantiomers have different effects. There are countless examples of these since our bodies' molecules naturally have "handedness".

What you were essentially asking was would 100% of the "bad" enantiomer be significantly worse than a 50/50 mixture. This is the real question here. For there to be a significant difference in this case one of the ketamine enantiomers would need to counteract the other's ill effects.
