"How bad this form of travel is for... the visited cities"

I was holidaying in Split, Croatia when the MS Queen Elizabeth [1] docked and thousands of people descended onto the city from it.

The quiet city became absolutely packed with tour groups from the ship, completely ruined the atmosphere.

I guess the cruise tourists do bring in quite a bit of money from eating in the restaurants, buying souvenirs etc, so not that much of a negative for the locals.

+1 on Trello. I'm a Scrum Master and we use it in our current team (~10 devs). I miss the reporting JIRA has tbh, but we get along just fine using workarounds (estimating in cards, etc).

Good luck!
As a non American can I just confirm my understanding?

JJ makes pain killers, markets them, doctors prescribe them (?), patients get addicted.

I have trouble understanding why this is primarily JJs fault. Either Drs should be looking after their patients, or these drugs need to be prescription only, if not already.

There seems to be a big elephant that's getting ignored here...
Yes because terminating someone's employment is the exact moral equivalent of treating someone with dignity in the workplace. Their vast numbers and lengthy shifts clearly imply that their contribution to the operation of the ship is negligible.
So if company Y created a genetic variant of a vegetable in Country X, and if this vegetable is shipped and sold in supermarkets around the world, the profit made from sales of that vegetable should only be charged in Country X, and not in the country that made the sale to the end consumer?
At least in west la it seems there is like no commercial vacancy it They just cram little shops and groceries and restaurants and swap meets on top of little shops and groceries and dispensaries with even more people selling under canopies on the sidewalks. Fruit is sold everywhere. The place has a pulse, 4 million+ live in la after all.

A question interesting to me: Are cruise ships worse or better than package, tour or individual holidays?

We have millions of people all over the world who want to travel and see the world and enjoy themselves. Assuming we don't ban individual travel we probably want to work out the most environmentally friendly (and socially responsible) way of enabling this.

A network of railway lines across the northern hemisphere connecting to a fleet of wind powered cruise ships? But paying staff a socially responsible wage might push the cost of a holiday up above the once a year point. And figuring in the real environmental cost would cause issues as well.
Bunk. This is entirely subjective and worthless to the argument. Compare: widget toolkits like Aqua, GTK3, Windows.Forms, etc. to the bedlam that is the web.
These figures are from 2006 - so you need to factor in improvements in engineering since then - but The Guardian crunched some figures and said

“According to our calculations, a cruiseliner such as Queen Mary 2 emits 0.43kg of CO2 per passenger mile, compared with 0.257kg for a long-haul flight (even allowing for the further damage of emissions being produced in the upper atmosphere”

So the answer would appear to be “jump on the plane”.
> I wonder if there's any organic materials that would work even better.

PCBs are using mostly organic resin. Mechanical constraints limit many otherwise excellent dielectrics.

Also the cheese seems to have quite high loss tangent here. A quick test to this theory at 2.4 GHz involves a microwave oven, thermometer, pieces of RF laminate and dry cheese.
I turn Cortana off as much as I can as well, and still nearly every single Windows 10 Pro install so far, be it on hardware or in a VM, has gotten ads on the lock screen and in the Start Menu at some point. The only installs that were not affected are not allowed to speak to the internet directly. I don't use Windows as my daily driver, neither at work nor at home. But every time I start up one of the Windows 10s with their creepy features, I'm glad I don't have to put up with this all day.

Maybe it works for other people to continually futz around with the registry, changing values they don't really know what they are good for. But I don't want to feel like I have to fight the OS every time, just to do they same things I get hassle free from other OSes.
We've settled down with YouTrack (by JetBrains). It doesn't look pretty buy it's designed by (and for) people that uses it. Its command management is AWESOME. It's also quite cost effective compared to other solutions. Couldn't find a more productive tool that that one if you want to have something more organized than trello (eg. timetracking and customizable fields)

Mozilla had a contract seven years ago. No idea what has happened since then -- and I note that not only is DNT not honored there, the suggestion to properly support it by conditionally loading GA if DNT is or is not enabled was ignored and the ticket was hastily closed "fixed by switching to GA."

This does nothing to affect my faith in Mozilla's privacy practices, especially since GA is baked into the extensions page and cannot be disabled, even by installing extensions.
Can confirm. I've been living for 3 years in Spain, I work in Spanish and live with a Spanish, and I still get ser/estar wrong very often.
Why do we keep repeating the line that he is "successful" and worth listening to? He has been at this for 25 years and nobody outside HN has ever heard of him. And no, being on the front page of HN does not make you successful.

> Your opinions mean nothing. his success does.

The opinion of the consumer is everything, and... graphics are easily the most important element of a game. This is just obvious common sense, even if game devs don't want to admit it. And posting a screen shot of dwarf fortress doesn't disprove that. If DF had graphics and a normal UI, it would have been a minecraft level success, even with the insane amount of bugs it has.
I am not sure this holds. Many of your thoughts are formed as you speak, there is even evidence that talking to yourself in third-person helps you stay more calmer and objective.

Mail-in means you can be coerced to vote a certain way by someone in your household. It also means someone might be able to get a hold of your ballot papers and vote in your name (there are Austrian politicians who have been convicted for doing just this). The postal service might "lose" ballots depending on whether they come from minority neighborhoods or other characteristics (in Austria, mail-in ballots have the voter's name on the outside). This is different from normal mail since if the postal service regularly lost your mail you would notice and complain; can you tell of your mail-in vote has really arrived? Votes might also be "lost" after they arrive wherever they are meant to be counted; letters presumably need to be guarded for several days, as opposed to votes put in a ballot box and counted later that day (this was one of the factors in the Austrian constitutional court cancelling one round of the most 2016 presidential election).

There are certainly other failure modes. In the last Hungarian parliamentary election the ruling party got less than 50% of the votes overall but literally 99% of the postal vote. That seems rather fishy to me.

Anyway, if you have long lines, that means the people organizing your elections are not doing their job right. There need to be more polling places. Other civilized countries manage this, the US would only need to take their democracy seriously.

If nola can make a levee surely the richest city on this side of the pacific can too.
Even with just full documentation available, people (hobbyists, repair shops) could replace original parts with generic alternatives that match the spec electrically. The result wouldn't be as pretty as the original, but it would work (and gave some street cred valued by people who prefer reuse and repair to generating waste).
Uniplexed sounds like a joke word.
Most western countries don't allow beach ownership, and technically the US doesn't either but has its loop holes. Some European countries even have the "right to pass" over private land if required to access to public land.

I suppose the question worth asking is the average Haitian better off from the economic activity generated from the private parcel.
Lots of would-be buyers won't purchase until the supply lines and insane repair wait times are fixed.

You can give a try at Redmine. I've used it and I think the differences might be pros for some and cons for others. The UI is, in my opinion, bad, and it lacks some features from Jira. That being said, since it's open source (coded in Ruby), you can personalize it, add your own features (or others that are already out there) and host it yourself. At the same time there's a lot of hosting companies that do that for you if you don't want to play this kind of game. Using hosting services usually makes it a lot more complex to add your own features though!
> To me, it seems perfectly reasonable that most of it is taxed in the US

It doesn't matter what you consider reasonable. If you want to access the European market, you better pay the taxes that are demanded.

> And indeed this is how international corporation tax works by decades of rules on transfer pricing and how corporations are allowed to assign expenses and value along international supply chains.

We are talking about tax loop-holes. This is about closing such a loop-hole.

In Apple's case it seems even worse, because Ireland gave them a special tax deal, lowering their tax rate below Irelands normal rate, which is illegal under EU law.

> And even if you did that, it would not change Apple's tax liability

So, why doesn't Apple pay those German taxes?
addons.mozilla.org also contains Google Analytics. And since addons are not allowed to act on addons.mozilla.org, you have no choice but to ping Google every time you load a page there.

Mozilla is either stupid or ill-intentioned. It's 2019 so they've lost the benefit of the doubt for me.
Not the person you responded to, but you correctly identified some of the serious flaws in this idea. They claim to be using commercially available crane technology, but existing cranes are generally not designed to operate in high winds, so they seem like a poor match for wind energy. According to [0] tower cranes are typically limited to operating in wind speeds of 20m/s or less, where as wind turbines[1] top out at ~35m/s. That would mean when the turbines are at peak production (i.e, when you want to be 'charging' your storage) wind speeds would be too high for co-located concrete block storage to work.

The design also seems to have quite poor power density; their website[2] shows a single tower in front of fields of turbines, but they only quote a power output of 4-8MW - the equivalent of 1-2 large turbines - so in reality you'd need dozens of them for a single installation.

Windows 10 Pro has everything this article mentions. Maybe Microsoft doesn’t enable all of the nags depending on where you’re living.
"Not user serviceable" is an evil concept that needs to die.

And as 'jdnenej points out, and the thing that "right to repair" movement is all about: nobody says you have to do the repair yourself. Having serviceable devices means your technically skilled friend, or your local repair shop, can do the repair. Possibly charging you money from it. As a side effect, this strengthens local economies.

Yes all the training data is in the repo.

Duckling is relevant to parse very structured language, typically temporal expressions (dates and times...). It relies on a mix of rules and machine learning. Rules and datasets for many (human) languages are available in the repo. You don't need a lot of data to add support for what you need, owing to this hybrid rules+ML approach (as opposed to just ML).

I wonder if there are still more Klingon speakers than Esperanto today. I don't know that outside linguist circles I'd see as much value in learning Esperanto as a more broadly used language. I took up a little bit of French and German (and Klingon) when I was young, but it's been 25-30 years since I've spoken either and don't remember anything.

Why do you specifically want to find 'people looking for a role'?

Those looking for a role comprise a small proportion of the total population you could target. And this subset is likely to have lower average quality than the relevant population, because those who are 'good' will spend less time before finding a good match.
Ask HN: Any ideas on solving a flow network?
Problem: In O&G upstream oil produced from well flows from network of pipes and various modalities(Oil, Gas and Water) are measured at different points using meters. The actual production are then back allocated to the actual wells.

These networks can get very complex with thousands of wells in a producing field and many measurements.

An analogy to this problem could be water distribution in a city or traffic flow in a city?

Any libraries or open source frameworks which solves these problems optimally?
Those are commuter stations where you might live a couple miles away. Would you take an uber when you are a 10 min walk away? What if you had a bike lane and that became 3 mins with a scooter? All it takes is a place open at 6 am and a place open from 5pm on for an area like that to completely transform. People using uber is the fault of the transit area being zoned improperly.
A lot of the backwards compatability is jaw-dropping. Some things that were intended to be deprecated what feels like forever ago still work. [1] I also regularly uncover brilliant bits of spreadsheet design looking at documents made one or more decades ago. Even some old school tricks in those sheets still help me do new things.
For example the (internet explorer exclusive) right click to export to excel is still among the most reliable ways to extract data that otherwise won't play nice.

However I wish speed was higher on the priority list. For big sheets with lots of calculations Excel 2016 was SLOW. Slower than 2013 by a fair margin, and actually slower than binary based sheets on 2003 by A LOT. [2] [3] [4] Excel was my default calculator on my computer for years. But it just starts too slow now. Foreign language support is weird in that regard. [5]. And on a personal note, I'm still bitter about the ribbon.

Nothing wrong with it as long as you avoid the traps of naive essentialism or fallacious appeals to nature.
Perhaps, if you shared a single caravan with hundreds of other people. But other than that I do not think it’s alike at all as you are not dependant on a crew for subsistence nor is your freedom to move/explore restricted in a caravan. Either way both can be very fun holidays if you are willing to see past class prejudices.
The Baltic Sea and the North Sea are Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECA) and Nitrogen Oxide Emission Control Areas (NECAs). Ships in these areas required to use SOx scrubbers and NOx, reducing devices in new ships. Limits have been gradually tightened. I think they are now as low as 0.10% m/m.

Carnival Cruise Lines has ships outfitted with scrubbers and they operate in these Emission Control Areas. Lower emissions are gradually coming to other areas as well when scrubbers are retrofitted into older ships.
Where are they getting there windshields from? If they're just a customer for manufacturer made windshields then you'd have the same issue.
Nationwide, on average, sure. But California is short by millions of homes and just needs the zoning and labor to produce.

Or maybe they're trying to kill the Control Panel all together and switch everyone to the new Settings app, but are aware that doing so immediately would lead to a lot of complaints? So they have both, while slowly nudging you towards using the Settings app so you wouldn't be too angry when you wake up one day in the future and find the Control Panel completely gone.
>Here is what the critics don't get. You are game devs. You are Jeff's peers. You are not representative of his customer base.

Actually I'd say that not only they're not "representative of his customer base", but they're also not game devs.

Most people complaining are unrelated to the industry (devs, but not game devs, graphic designers, etc), and don't understand the costs and tradeoffs.

I also see a game dev badmouthing Jeff's graphics in the comments here, when theirs are equally if not more crude.

>My guess is that the average gamer is less willing to forgive crappy art than the average game dev, because game devs have more experience dealing with works-in-progress that have unpolished graphics, and “seeing through” the graphics to the underlying merits. I could be wrong, though.

I disabled the allow Microsoft to send application history to their servers. They still do it. They just ignore the fact I have disabled it explicitly. It should be reason for me to be able to sue but I don't know where to start.
They did sort-of roll back the Library stuff that Windows 7+ (or Vista+?) had. They’re still there but they’re no longer in “This PC”. So that’s now okay IMHO.

If your source repositories are on Github, please consider Github issues. You'll need to setup a lot of labels to handle the different status, priority and component fields that you'd normally get in JIRA, and you'll have to use Github "projects". You'll also have to use issue checklists instead of subtasks. I'd do it myself if our organization's process wasn't so deeply integrated with JIRA.

> These Fight Club-esque arguments that corporate civil liability can not possibly curtail bad corporate conduct ignore the fact that killing people carries an almost unbounded punitive penalty in front of a jury. The confidence interval on the damages is very large, which makes doing things with practically unbounded civil liability actually dangerous for companies, and actually deters behavior which might appear otherwise profitable.

Your argument ignores the fact that when this "unbounded liability" hits the company, it might bankrupt the company, but that is completely irrelevant to the responsible people, who usually get to keep the fat bonuses they earned and go on to work in another company, doing the same things. A company has, in principle, a strong incentive to prevent this, which is why there are CCOs and compliance departments. But in practice, this too often loses out to the stronger incentive to maximise profits.
This is true, and one of the reason why people lack a sense of self these days - we're too deep into distractions to really daydream. We're constantly bombarding our self with information to process and think about without having time to ponder about our life and self only with ourself. That manifests as lack of goals, visions, decisions, as we're not sure what we want for ourselves.
Sorry, my intent was neither to diss nor to summarise trivially; thanks for pointing it out and I need to put my thoughts in a better way.
There is in fact a third option, which happens to be their stated position.

Part of their (written) agreement with Google is that none of the analytics data generated from Mozilla properties will contribute towards Google's tracking database.

"Mozilla has a legal contract with Google that prevents them from using our Google Analytics data for mining or from sharing it with third parties, among other privacy-protecting provisions."

"Mozilla went through a year long legal discussion with GA before we would ever implement it on our websites. GA had to provide how and what they stored and we would only sign a contract with them if they allowed Mozilla to opt-out of Google using the data for mining and 3rd parties."

She means that human consciousness is born from our actions towards nature since before we were conscious and that we cannot detach morality from that. Furthermore, we can't hope to define sex and gender, before understanding the roots of morality since they are defined by our primeval nature, not by society rules born out of conscious thought.
