Local people really need to price out a lot of the tourists. You really need to implement a high tax/price, this would cut down on the tourists and allow locals to reap more benefits.

I don't know if it is still like this, but when I was in Cinque Terra in the Italian Riviera, there was a lot that seem to be structured into the place to have tourism, but not let it overwhelm the place.

Building development was strictly controlled, so the hotel/hostel we stayed at was pretty simple and converted apartment building.

There wasn't a ton to do in the towns, like jet skiiing or parasailing, so the appeal of the place didn't feel like a resort place. It really felt like people mainly made wine there with a few converted buildings that tourists stayed at.

For me, the main draw of the place aside from the natural beauty was the lack of things that seem to cater to tourists.

The second night I was there, we ran into a post-wedding party with locals at a bar who outnumbered the tourists probably 25-1.

And that felt normal. Like, we were there seeing how these people lived and just got to enjoy the lifestyle and beauty for a few days.

Contrast this to Venice, which was almost 100% tourism to me. It felt like a museum. Locals seemed almost out of place. While the buildings weren't new, everything in the town seemed to revolv around selling stuff to tourists.

I vaguely remember a news article while back a taxi organization in the city had self insured its drivers and one bad accident has enough claims to bankrupt the entire organization.

It sounds like the production cost was too high, probably also because of the lithium-ion batteries: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chevy-volt-discontinued-chevrol...

> "While it was a financial loser, it did what was intended," said retired GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz, who shepherded the Volt into production. "We viewed it as a stepping stone to full electrics, which were totally out of reach due to the then-astronomical cost of lithium-ion batteries."

> GM needed to stop making it due in part to changing consumer preferences for SUVs, he said. The company also lost money on every Volt, cash that is needed for research on autonomous vehicles and more advanced electric cars, he said.
Brand new cars don't yet have plates. Granted, most states now have dealer-printed labels with an identifier on them, but still, new cars don't immediately have plates when they roll off the lot.

You completely missed the point. Almost all of the NVIXM followers had no clue this stuff was going on at the very top of the organization. Yes, specific individuals were groomed to move up in the organization, but the leader wasn't grooming them for 'sex slavery'. The high-ups knew that the leader was non-monogamous and slept with women from the organization, but even the woman from the podcast who talks about being branded hadn't ever been approached by the leader.

The media just loved to jump on the 'sex cult' idea and then portrayed it as that's what it was. The branding had nothing to do with anything sexual - it was done as a 'sorority'-type initiation for the higher-up women. The slavery was also part of the 'sorority' and didn't really have anything to do with the leader.

Listen to the podcast and you'll understand.

You can reuse names in SCII, so it’s more a convention than anything else. The important bit is to have many accounts with similar names.
I disagree, with an anecdote:

I purchased a completely random lot of Magic the Gathering cards from someone getting out of the game. I turned around and parceled the cards out for a profit.

Those cards had monetary value at least twice beyond the initial purchase - to the purchaser as he sold them to me, and to me as I sold them to someone else. And that's beyond the value of playing the game.
Congratulations! Becoming a father involves so many great emotions and moments of excitement, fear, and wonder.

It's scary becoming a new parent. Having children is world changing, because you no longer have to think only about yourself — there is someone else who loves you, and depends completely upon you. There is no one that I've ever spoken with has ever said that they felt ready for this change. That's completely normal, and that's okay.

My wife and I were relatively young — age 21 — when we had our first son. Our situation was somewhat similar to yours in that we had a financial challenge; we learned how to utilize what was available to us.

Actually, I think it's doubtful the folks at the private processing facility are actually writing 'NULL', but my guess is the DB field is just not set (i.e. left as NULL), and then when the info is read out somewhere it's just printed as the string literal value.

You don't need a nuclear expert, just around a high school physics class understanding of what's going on.

From https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/r...

> High-level wastes are hazardous because they produce fatal radiation doses during short periods of direct exposure. For example, 10 years after removal from a reactor, the surface dose rate for a typical spent fuel assembly exceeds 10,000 rem/hour – far greater than the fatal whole-body dose for humans of about 500 rem received all at once.

And that's for fuel that's been run in commercial reactors, which is commonly only 5% enriched. The NASA reactor uses 90% enriched fuel.

Once that thing is turned on it will become deadly for centuries. Any breach of containment during a car crash would be instantly lethal for a considerable distance. Using a robot to extract the core from the wreck and place it in new containment would be a very non trivial task taking days if not weeks.

The idea of putting a kilopower reactor in a car is a total non starter, and not because people lack 'rationality' or aren't as smart as you think you are.

I visited Venice in December '04. We stayed at a proto-Air-BnB (Air BnB didn't exist yet, but it was something very similar). Talking to the host we learned that she was from Moldova. The owners of the apartment lived elsewhere in Italy and only visited rarely. We went out to a restaurant and again, the people running it were not Italians - Eastern Europeans. It seemed very similar wherever we went in Venice.

The whole Venice experience seemed a lot like a sort of ancient Disney Land. It was the real old stuff, but somehow it just didn't seem real. Drunk tourists stumbling about getting their pics taken with people dressed up as masquaraders. It was kind of a bizarre experience. I much preferred the other out-of-the way, small Italian villages we visited on that trip.
Demand for new infrastructure competes with maintenance of old infrastructure, so decades of overbuilding will eventually exhaust the supply of construction services.*

Underscoring the value of “battle-tested” lawyers is the implicit and very real factor of hidden information. These top litigators have tons of it, relationships and reputations with judges and courts, knowledge of poorly documented procedures, etc. it’s not that they’re smarter or better lawyers than anyone else, just a most protected class of people who have done it before. And the only way to be admitted to the club is to work under someone in the club. It’s protectionism through bureaucracy at its purest. The drivers of this, of course, are the judges. Who through hubris and incompetence foster these conditions. It’s not that they’re in on the game, really, it’s just that they’re dictators of their own court and have no motivation to make their courts accessible to anyone, and feel empowered to punish clients represented by attorneys that don’t know their preferred formats and fonts. It’s a silly situation that should be dealt with

Literally my first line was "I disagree with any fad phrase (...) to explain deep rooted human psychology, society, etc."

Whereas "tree shaking" is a technical term, used in a precise context to describe a well defined process. Not really different than "compiling", "garbage collection", and so on. And even as a technical term, it's not used by everyone, all the media, etc, heck, not even all the technical media, or all the JS media. You seldom see it.

If we wanted to drop the "to explain deep rooted human psychology, society" part, there are similar fads in the IT domain, but "tree-shaking" is not it.

It literally is called "British National (Overseas) passport" and they could become citizens: "BN(O)s may become British citizens by registration, rather than naturalisation, after residing in the United Kingdom for more than five years and possessing ILR for more than one year." (from the Wikipedia article) So it's not immediate citizenship in the UK, but it is path to citizenship. They couldn't just grant instant citizenship, because then people in HK would be British citizens in China as soon as the handover occurred. Naturally, China would not go for that. I think what they did was quite reasonable.

When people say this, they usually mean "a significant amount of things JavaScript is used for are asynchronous, and IO is virtually always asynchronous," rather than something more literal. The language has asynchronicity deep in its bones, even if it's not entirely made out of it.

Hey hackers!

We started to work on Ipregistry.co at the end of the last year for other services we run. After months of work, we are proud to say that more than 60% of the requests we serve are using the high-reliability geolocation dataset we are building. For this purpose, we process, analyze and correlate GB of data daily. As a fallback, we are still using Maxmind and IP2location but we hope to get rid of them near the end of this year.

* What is it for?

A lot of businesses (e.g. Airbnb, Netflix, npmjs, Stripe) rely on IP addresses as a non-intrusive solution to customize content and enrich data for their users: showing prices in users’ local currency, pinpointing location, timezone, company and connection type. You can learn more about use cases on the next link: https://ipregistry.co/use-cases

* Why Ipregistry.co?

Existing solutions are either too slow, too expensive or not complete enough. Even worse, some competitors artificially segment features that cost them no pennies. Ipregistry aims to change this situation.

With Ipregistry you get more geolocation info but also threat information that is essential to detect and prevent fraud. You can even get user agent data. All this in a single request.

* What’s the difference with existing competitors?

- Data is updated multiple times a day for accuracy.

- Ipregistry scales to thousand requests per second.

- Reliability is ensured with multiple points of presence using the Google Cloud infrastructure.

- Requests are served in less than 25 ms from most locations worldwide (https://ipregistry.co/status).

- You can create multiple API keys to separate concerns.

- You pay only for what you use lookup per lookup.

- Payment methods include cards, Paypal and cryptocurrencies.

- Upon registration, you get 100,000 free lookups for testing purposes.

- A dashboard is provided to monitor your usage and configure settings.

- Origin and IP filtering are supported with no extra fee.

- You can receive weekly or monthly usage reports.

- The API outputs JSON or XML.

- Official client libraries are provided with caching support.
Many loot box items for games can be traded, so markets exist to sell them for real world money. This makes the gambling problem worse, though, not better, since people then think they can make real money and gamble more.

> I totally agree with you, however the alternatives to Async/Await are just way more wierder IMHO.

It’s not, however you do need the entire runtime to be in on it. That’s what Erlang, Go or gevent (for python) do: normal concurrency is in user land and normal IO uses « async ». The code itself looks / is synchronous, it just multiplexes in userland before doing so on OS threads.
Bug-Free Code That Speaks for Itself: Principles of State Management
As a developer, I don't find this disrespectful. While people may not fit neatly into these kinds of categories, there are common personality continuums that developers (and all people for that matter) tend to fall into.

Just like with "learning styles", there is likely a way each person works best.
Depends on how you define "special." I've seen hearts on California tags, and I think some glyphs on Virginia tags, but I might not be remembering that correctly.

Tangentially related somewhat-common bug: YAML files will interpret the literal 'no' as boolean false if it's not quoted, instead of as a string.

Many developers have wondered why, when they stuck country-specific configurations in a YAML file, that things suddenly stopped working when they expanded support for Norway.
It's easy to get going on it, it's productive for writing scripts and experiments. It's dreadful for programming in the large, but only in comparison to languages designed to take account of the lessons learned about large code bases and team working. Most programmers have never encountered these and have very little idea of what they are missing.

I don't buy Samsung anymore for this reason. I don't know if it's still the case but I also used to have like 2 versions of every app, the Google one and the Samsung one. I seemed to remember at one point I even had two SMS apps, totally ridiculous.

With the whole poor security of the SmartThings stuff, I have serious doubts about Samsung's ability in software. Their online services were dire, no SSO so I had to frequently re-login when I moved to a different part of portal, errors here and there.
The difference with reference counting is that you only get it when you actually use it, but a runtime included by default does not have this property. And having an "opt-out runtime" doesn't fit the bill either; we tried that too.

(I'd also be very skeptical of the 2% figure; where did you get that from?)

Remember, "zero cost" means "zero additional cost", everything has a cost.
If the companies are already doing bad things, arguing "let's not regulate it because they might do bad things" doesn't help the situation at all.

It's not just kids. It's also adults, many of whom have an addiction issue with gambling. Parents becoming experts on gaming and microtransactions won't solve the issue.

Given that the industry refuses to self regulate, and they aren't reliant on rational consumers to the point where actions that rational consumers make would matter, what is the next solution that isn't regulation?

Apparently, in 2017, European Council researchers found 26.7 % of trips made by EU-28 country residents were trips outside of their home country, and of those, the average trip lasted 8.4 nights.

So, for Europeans traveling farther than domestically, trips averaged longer than a week. For domestic trips (73.3% of all trips), average duration was 3.9 nights.

> If we made the assembly of steel, concrete, and asphalt cheaper, do you think suburban mayors would stop demanding we build them big box interchanges?

I generally agree with many of Strong Towns' arguments, but this really seems to miss the mark. The reason why major infrastructure projects like regional/urban rail systems, tunnels, etc are so expensive vs other developed countries isn't due to the cost of commodities like concrete or steel.

It's due to the lack of sufficient domestic expertise in designing, managing, and building such large scale works.

Because we don't build that scale of project frequently in the US, when we do it, we don't do it as efficiently. A recent example would be the use of the incorrect grade of steel in San Francisco's new Chinatown subway line.

OTOH, we have huge amounts of experience building big box stores, parking lots, and freeways, which are the sort of infrastructure that the Strong Towns perspective says (correctly IMO) that we don't need so much of.

We need to build infrastructure with higher utilization, which therefore doesn't need to rely on what Strong Towns describes as the Growth Ponzi Scheme, but unfortunately that's exactly the sort of infrastructure that we are not very good at building.
