Patreon is a huge example of this model working very well in the online creator space. Music artists already make the majority of their income from live shows.

The solution to "subscriptions for things that have no reason to be provided as a service instead of as a product" is just trusting that people will pay if they like your product, or creating alternatives in the open-source space. Which will be much easier if you can rightfully use prior work. Your other concerns already exist, so at the worst we just have what we already have.

> Also as a programmer i'm not sure how i'd go about doing a live show :-P

You may be surprised. Many programmers do live-coding sessions as they work on open source products.
> More space dedicated to non-car traffic means easier to get around without a car.

Not really. Car traffic shares its roads with buses, often bicycles. And the distances you need to cover don't get shorter if you remove roads or parking spaces.

> More housing units in areas currently taken up by parking means—theoretically, at least—less need to get around that large area on average if everything you need day-to-day is a short walk, cycle, bus or train ride away.

What assumptions does your "theory" base this claim on? That newly built houses will quickly fill with people working nearby? Perhaps they just like their small houses on the hills of LA and don't want to move to the busy center of the city.

What I see there is that the EPYC 7601 (first graph, second from the bottom) is much faster than the Xeon 6138 -- it's only slower than /two/ Xeons ("the much more expensive dual Xeon Gold 6138 configuration"). The 32-core EPYC scores 30% more than the 20-core Xeon.
Yes of course ads aren't great but I love me some money on the side while I am blogging away :). Also I don't find adsense small text ads to be very obtrusive. 10 years ago I knew a few bloggers that were making 4 figure earnings via just blogspot blogs and adsense. Adsense pays like shit these days.
This isn't true. Their own government created the pre-requisite conditions for this, and then their parents acted on those by breaking the law.

If you are an insane or mentally incapable parent, your kids will be, essentially 'put in a camp'. The US government is doing what it should be.

Identity politics zealots can down-vote, of course, but I fought a decade for my green card - the right way. And every time people who skirt the law are allowed to stay in this country the wrong way it disrespects, belittles and is a slap in the fact to everyone who came here the right way, respectfully waiting even while my own family was living in basically a war zone.

Anyone who comes here illegally to benefit themselves at the expense of the state is an enemy - forget this, or sacrifice this principle, and your progeny will very likely be born into a living hell of a similar kind that those people (god bless them, I'm not heartless - I grew up in it) are trying to run away from. I thought this before I had my green card as well: it's about integrity.
Capiche team member here. Agreed—but there is a trend towards increasingly obscured pricing as apps go upmarket, at least with adding “enterprise” plans with undisclosed pricing as the top tier, even with Slack and other newer, better apps. Even apps with clear pricing can be confusing when they have metered components, as new users have no way to reasonably estimate their usage. We’re hoping both to push for clearer pricing and help users set expectations.

Rainforest land is not arable. Farmers who try to grow crops (typically soybean) in the Amazon get 2-3 years of crops before the land becomes infertile, then it has to fallow again. Their only option is to add massive amounts of chemical fertilizers which washes out into the Amazon basin. Aside from leaving the forests undisturbed (which is my preference), raising cattle is better for that ecosystem than agricultural farming would be.
Yes, but remember that pigs are probably the only animals that are grown only for their meat. Cows, sheep and goats are grown for their milk also, sheep for their fleece, chicken, duck and geese for their eggs etc. Eggs and dairy are valuable sources of protein that can last a lot longer than slaughtering and eating the animal that produces them. So, in many places, where people raise animals they keep them alive for the small but steady supply of eggs and milk, and only kill them for their meat on special occasions (like religious festivals and so on).

That's my experience anyway. I spend my summers in a friend's farm and they have a small army of chickens, a plattoon of goats and in different times, a couple of pigs or so. We get fresh eggs and fresh goat's milk, but all the meat we eat is bought from outside the farm. It seems to be a very good deal actually, which was surprising to me when I first realised it, because of course the chickens and goats have to be fed. Then again- they often eat what we do (or rather, our leftovers).
I think that's an unfair characterization. You may dislike what many commenters are saying, but the comments are polite, avoid personal attacks and make reasonably good faith arguments. I disagree with many of them, but I wouldn't call them toxic or divisive.

Fair point. I guess I just assumed that there would be some level of commonality between the orgs, but now that I think about it that does make a lot of sense. The teams themselves are their own weird little fiefdoms within the greater empire, so it would track that they don't all value things the same ways (like devs or analytics or winning games)
> It’s more surprising compared with the nearly 12 years that the average U.S. car owner hangs on to a vehicle. In fact, Americans are maintaining their cars longer in part because the technology used to make and operate them has advanced meaningfully

Was this a mistype? Wouldn't it make more sense to suggest people hang on to their cars for longer, because cars have -not- made meaningful advancements?

Unless they mean that the cars are lasting longer because of technological advancements in manufacturing making them more durable? They're definitely not easier to maintain for the layperson, so I'm certain it's not the Automotive industry choosing to empower consumers into keeping their cars longer...

> Today’s vehicles spend most of the day parked. To develop a profitable, viable business model for [autonomous vehicles], they need to be running almost the entire day.

This is making sense. If you're running the vehicles like they're commercial vehicles, you're going to induce wear that a consumer would never come close to. Four years lines up pretty well with other commercial vehicle turnover, like delivery vans, utility company vehicles and so on. The article mentions the median lifecycle for taxis is pretty similar, at 3.8 years.
I highly recommend reading the Saskatraz bee project report which has a lot more information and research on the bees:

Hm. Its pretty different. I don't come to a table and say "Hey! I'm a meat eater! Better supply me with meat in this meal, or I'm going to walk away!"

Clearly, on one side, we have omnivores. On the other, extra rules about food type and preparation. Its almost always more complicated to feed one, than the other.

“Where could I find” is indeed an important question, but it is not obvious to me that hierarchical namespaces are the best solution. Couldn’t something like a list of tags attached to every function/type/whatever be at least as effective?

Grains are the core of the human diet, and have been since the dawn of civilization. But they are only edible because of civilization - the grinding, fermentation, and cooking breaking them down into something our bodies can use.

In the US and other wealthy countries, we might feed grain to livestock, but it's also often parts of grain that we can't really eat (hulls, etc). And in poorer countries, livestock are often open-grazed on grasses that are inedible for us. And non-grazers like hogs often eat garbage, food waste that we don't consume.

When farming, the questions are even more complex. The livestock generates manure that fertilizes the fields, so much of that "lost" energy is recovered.

Surely both of those things are UB?

I mean, it's not like the optimization is impossible (by rejiggering the code a bit, it kicks in), it's just that using uint8_t's makes the optimzation far more brittle, because the compiler has to walk on eggshells around uint8_t's. Right?
I'll guess you aren't into sports. America has a huge sports culture. In my biased opinion, there are no better sports the world over than basketball and (American) football, both invented here. And the fact that we have states gives us some sense of "civic" pride attached to our local teams. College sports are similar. I'm glued to the screen when Purdue plays basketball. Europe has a basketball league, but the best players play here in the NBA. I'm not a big fan of hockey, and I know Canadians claim it, but the best players play in the NHL (National here being the US, despite teams in Canadian cities)
Yes they did. I am not saying they didn't check social media before Trump. I am saying that this is Trump's specific policy at play here. Also this guy obtained a valid visa!

> They're low density even if you account for increased travel radius due to cars.

What does it mean, exactly? How do you "account" for the increased travel radius? Do you divide by the distance or by the distance squared? Are you sure that in both cases the density is low? It does not seem so, to me.
I believe what ur-whale is saying is that cultural homogenization, is often seen as bad things for the short term for people that have to endure it, but relatively for the long term it creates more homogeneous region with a shared culture.

For example, the Roman Empire destroyed or assimilated hundreds of smaller culture, but it also have the long term effect of creating a common ancestor culture for most of Europe.
I believe it's also one of only two countries in the world that doesn't have standard paid maternity leave. It's bizarre just how few rights American workers really have.
This is terribly naive. When digital replication is easy -- as it is with arts like music or software -- piracy destroys innovation and hurts creators who want to earn a living by selling their creations. It's not like the farmers or the apartment owners are going to let people "pirate" a warm place to sleep or a good meal.

IP haters often point to people who've successfully managed to encourage pseudo-piracy and made money. The Grateful Dead, for instance, let people freely copy mix tapes of their concerts and made their money on gate revenues. (They didn't let people in for free. Nope. )

If digital piracy is unchecked, then it forces artists to dream up other ways to make money. This creates inefficiencies and it just isn't fair to those who just want to sell their creations without holding a concert or drumming up some other scheme to get people to pay. Most "open source" companies spend endless hours trying to concoct ways to open source just enough of their product while forcing enough people to pay so everyone can eat.

I've found that most of the people who speak like pitaj are in universities and they make their money through some mixture of outrageous tuition bills that can't be dodged or government funding from taxes that can't be escaped.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.
I took it to mean they can last longer without running into significant repair costs, because the technology used to manufacture them has gotten better.

But your interpretation seems valid as well.

I don’t think it would be appropriate to rise above an article like this. It matters if a major tech company gets excluded from things, whether you think that the community is rising up against bad tech or that Palantir is being unfairly demonized. You can’t make a rule of never discussing controversial things.

I am German living in LA. When I lived in Munich and Stuttgart usually travel times with S-Bahn or U-Bahn were pretty competitive and I could get to most places without problems. In LA the network is not dense enough so for a lot of places you have to choose between one hour in the car or 3 hours on 5 different buses. It also doesn't help that the houses are very spread out so distances are much longer compared to Munich for example.

But in the end Americans on average don't believe in spending money on public services in a systematic way. They build a light rail here, a high speed train there, at great expense but without any kind of systems thinking. Then they are surprised that the system doesn't get used which confirms the view that public spending is a waste. I have no idea how to get out of that cycle other than a much more wide spread adoption of remote work maybe. Self driving cars will make things just worse because they make even longer commutes possible and sitting in traffic won't be as stressful for the driver.
No, it means that cars just break down far less than they used to and thus their useful life is longer.

I find this to be certainly true. Modern cars are less repairable, but there's less need for repairs.

I would suggest you to take a look at Tuleap https://www.tuleap.org/, an all-in-one 100% open source tool for agile management and development tool. You have a panel of modules you can choose to work, with by project. It supports Scrum, Kanban, waterfall-oriented approaches. It provides a powerful issue tracking system with hight level of workflow customisation options. It integrates finely Git, Gerrit, Jenkins and Test management as well as Document Management.

Considering the story of the original Palantir, I couldn't think of a better name.
> Your characterization of the findings are mis-leading. Opiates frequently metabolize to another active opioid inside the body. Morphine commonly metabolizes to hydromorphone[2]. Codeine metabolizes to morphine[3]. Oxycodone metabolizes to oxymorphone[4]. Hydrocodone metabolizes to hydromorphone[4].

I’m pretty sure the authors were accounting for that. Otherwise they’re not investigating anything of value. Especially if they’re lumping them in with a group that didn’t have any opiates in their screen.
On the topic of "where do I put this function", for "library/utility" functions, I really like the Hack Standard Library approach: Organize namespaces by the types of return values (or arguments). So we have Vec/Keyset/Dict namespaces for all library functions which return vec/keyset/dict, and the C (Collection) namespace for functions which take any collection and return something else (either element or a number). I'm sure this can be extended, and I'm always toying with the idea of replacing lodash with a library that follows this convention. Here the objective is really discoverability - you usually know the types of return value/argument, while you often don't remember the function name.
Join us in /r/kernel. As a mod I'm always helping folks with questions like this, and our community frequently beats me to the punch.
The problem is not the parking spaces. It is also not the roads. Take them away and you only make life more miserable for car commuters. You need two things:

1. Attractive alternatives (really good, clean, fast public transport or really good, safe, fast bike lanes)

2. An incentive to not use the car for commuting.

The problem with 1. is that politicians find it much harder to create something good than to make it's opposite worse. The problem with 2. is that a car is a relatively expensive investment, so people will use it. You could, for instance, introduce a flexible city toll that allows you 50 days of free entering by car and serves as a PT ticket as well.
> two parking spaces for a 2 bedroom apartment? Or a 1.5 for a one bedroom? That seems crazy.

2 bedrooms typically means 3+ people, all of whom might be driving, 2 would probably be driving to work.
Some scientists/doctors love using cholesterol because its easy to measure. But it's still mostly useless. I wonder if its mostly useless here.

Oh look it is. From the article:

> Comparing the cholesterol and survival rates of the burger-eating crows with those of nearby crows who were weren’t supplemented with fast food, the team found that cholesterol levels did not have a detectable effect on the birds’ survival.

Meanwhile, in a 2015 survey by Credit Suisse Foundation found 54% of docs falsely believed eating cholesterol-rich food raises blood levels of cholesterol and damages the heart. In the words of the survey, "This is a clear example of the level of misinformation that exists among doctors." https://www.credit-suisse.com/about-us-news/en/articles/news...

Using years as a comparison point between the lifespan of autonomous vehicles and manually driven vehicles doesn't make sense. Autonomous vehicles will be on the road most of the day while manually driven vehicles generally sit parked most of the day. We should be talking about miles driven as a point of comparison since use is the primary factor that wears out a vehicle rather than simply the passage of time. Whatever that number is for autonomous cars, it will certainly be more in line with what we expect from manual cars than the 4 year comparison.
In Munich it was pretty unknown in the 90s.

Also, this seriously breaks down when multiple developers are working in the same area.
You can pirate all my books, and the top-selling ones are easiest to find. I have a notification set when Google finds new pirate sources, and those notifications roughly track the sales of the books.

The download sites are all in developing countries where the books are not available except by import that would cost 10X or more US buying power relative to price.

In other words, I lost very little income to piracy despite publishers no longer bothering to try to take down piracy sites. In fact it's an open question if piracy helped sell more books because of engagement from readers in developing countries I would not have reached but for piracy.

The explicitly stated purpose of the copyright clause is not to protect "your lucrative concepts." It is “To promote the progress of science and useful arts," a collective benefit. So if optimal promotion of "science and the useful arts," not commerce, notably, means setting the terms to short, very short, or zero, that's perfectly legal.
