I agree that case is not closed, however I was responding to very specific short sighted comment. About your points: Yes, you should understand if you or your relative is in low risk group. Honestly, if possible you should always understand and evaluate risks, whatever you are doing. Problem that humans are really bad with statistics (recommended reading "Thinking, Fast and Slow").

Lastly, you have actually read what I have posted and this is awesome. You can find more scientific sources about positive benefits of home birth. Lastly, I'm not saying that you should do it. My problem is that home births are semi-legal in my country ;-) Shortsighted comment was written by person from my country :-(
With my (relatively) old Ford, the backup key is a small one hidden inside the fob that you can pry out if needed. There are also backup methods to lock the non-driver doors and for the push-button start to work in the case of a dead fob. I'd be very wary of buying a car without those backups.

The only place I'd disagree with you is where you say that this isn't the place for it -- I'd argue that this exactly is a great place for it.

Very well written, and feels similar to some of my own experiences. I'm impressed by your ability to use Blender, though!
Thanks for the photos. You can tell that they are nice items and -- coming from the perspective of an American -- don't look "government issued" in the slightest. Neat.
The key word in your comment is "we". "we" don't do that - the government does. And as you yourself indicate - they don't do so in the public interest, they do so in the investors' interest.

Also - they shouldn't be a _domestic_ investment vehicle either.
Absentee ownership is not equal to renting it out.

> Besides this behaviour Lego is getting more and more expensive, while the quality of the models and the part count go down.

I don't think that's generally true. I'm often checking price per brick when buying Technic sets and cheapest per brick came out in recent years.

Star Wars is expensive because when you buy them you volunteer to pay Mickey Mouse tax.
Ask HN: How to build web apps that deploy user environments?
Think apps along the lines of web flow, squarespace etc. Whereby when a new user joins they have an environment to develop in and direct a custom URL to if needed.

I'm agnostic about whether they'll be on shared resources or single servers, but was wondering if there's any frameworks/systems that will help with this type of architecture? Even reading materials on how to get started? I confess I'm not even sure which terms to Google...

I'm willing to swallow cost if there's a SaaS that makes it easy, for example.

The first point would be policies aimed at distributing ownership of property etc. So for example we could have a high tax for:

1. Real estate not directly used by the owner as his or her residence or place of work.

2. Shares of a business where he or she does not work (Zuck doesn't get taxed as heavily on facebook shares as the investors do)

A major part of the problem is that ownership itself is so heavily concentrated that freedom for ordinary people is not possible. But if we have policies which encourage smaller businesses, weaker concentrations of wealth and more ownership by more people that would be a major start.

We should exempt rent-to-own contracts. If the contract vests ownership over a 20 year period or less, then it should count as owned by both sides for the purposes of this tax proposal. Bonus, we reduce the influence of banks.
It’s not clear to me that you can take away someone’s second amendment rights even with due process, just as you couldn’t take away someone's first amendment rights with due process. (You couldn’t, for example, create a “red flag” law that imposed prior restraints on the political speech of specific people, even if it required a signed order from a judge.)

Due process is the baseline required to deprive someone of “life, liberty, or property.” If you could take guns away with merely due process, then you wouldn’t need the second amendment, because guns are also property. That right merited it’s own amendment, with additional protections.
Just because infant mortality dropped nearly everywhere doesn't mean that this "baby box" didn't help reduce infant mortality _specifically in Finland_. The infant mortality rate dropped from 7% in 1935 (already extremely low compared with the global rate in 1935) to .02% (much lower than the global rate now).
I totally disagree. The people have the right to own whatever they want. It's not about "the good of society" it's about ensuring the populace maintains the ability to check tyranny if tyranny arises. Of course this is gonna have trade-offs.
I'm afraid the Faroe Islands is an autonomous region within Denmark, not Britain.
The cycle works like this:

- we have people who live in subpar conditions

- let's build some cheap houses and rent them at discount to those in need

- actually not that cheap: why is that only rich people deserve to have a balcony?

- within a decade the houses turn into a ghetto

- oh, but there is a research which suggests if people actually owned the houses instead of just renting them, they would stop throwing garbage on the floors. So we sell these houses at discount.

- goto step 1

The majority of people have no interest to float around the globe without any ties to their home or culture.

The idea that this cosmopolitanism of the elites is something that the average person even cares about is a fiction peddled to maintain the status quo. If you look at the rise of populists around the globe, are they nationalists or are they hyper-libertarians who want to give John Doe the ability to move to Swasiland?

The productive 'dystopia' you're talking about isn't China, it's West Germany in 1960-1970. As the article points out, the world under Bretton Woods had strict capital controls, was everyone in the Western world living in a dystopia? Obviously not. And by the way, the average middle class person in China these days isn't exactly living under dystopic conditions either.

I absolutely don't see how taking control away from elites, restoring capital controls and national autonomy and reigning in global capital is dystopic. It was the primary development model for any country on the planet whose general population, and not just elites, are prosperous.
Isn't this really an incentive problem? I find it hard to believe that snoopware will foster a high trust environment.

The idea of The Perpetual Traveller (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_traveler) had been around for a long time (at least to my knowledge since the 1960s).

It has simply got easier and in fact the group of people who can attempt it, though tiny, has grown much larger.
I think the poster wasn't making a principled argument that rights granted by the constitution only apply to 18th century technology, but that, at some point, pragmatism must be considered. I know I railed against pragmatism in my post, but that was aimed at over-reliance on it - it doesn't mean it should be (or even could be!) ignored.

While there's a gray area where there can be disagreement as to whether it is sufficient justification, after a certain point, pragmatism must prevail. Using the 2nd amendment as example, lets say we allow guns and rifles. And grenades? RPGs? Tanks? Chemical weapons (nerve gas, not pepper spray)? Biological weapons (smallpox, not guard dogs)? The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a bioengineered plague, is a good guy with a bioengineered plague?
Even my cell phone can handle no reception for a few hours—no problem. It seems strange to me then to assume that it is 100% related based on what "someone" said was most likely.

When you say harmful, what do you mean exactly? Is this harm observable and consequential in most cases?
It was a lagging effect of the bubble. The 'build anything, people will buy it' approach resulted from people's excessive faith in housing and the widespread idea that prices could only appreciate, which I take to be the true cause of the housing bubble.

Vast majority of top 1% don't even have much capital to speak of. They are just workers making somewhere in the mid-6 figures - doctors, lawyers, small mom-and-pop business owners, best coders, etc. And they pay the majority of taxes, actually. Bottom half of Americans pay nothing and top 1% pays 35-40% of all taxes. You are not fair to those educated, strong, hardworking people.

I know of multiple systems that use a UID but throw away a user’s information, including the UID mapping, when the user leaves. This allows historic metrics to be retained without ever identifying a user who isn’t still using the system.

It's not irrelevant unless you intend to focus on modern, triple-A graphics engines. Lots of indie game developers don't care about that stuff! There are even people working on new games using engines from the 90s, such as the Build engine [1]. Ion Fury [2] is one example.

I think the more you focus on modern graphics engines, the more difficult it is to stand out from the crowd. You end up in a rat race where you need a huge team of artists to create all of the assets for your photorealistic game.

On the other hand, with an old engine (or a new engine using traditional rendering techniques), you can make something distinctive and stylish with a smaller team. After all, they say the enemy of art is the absence of limitations.

My favorite scientific paper ever. Thx to earlier poster for reminding me of it.

ABSTRACT - Although the surface of Venus is an extremely hostile environment, at about 50 kilometers above the surface the atmosphere of Venus is the most earthlike environment (other than Earth itself) in the solar system. It is proposed here that in the near term, human exploration of Venus could take place from aerostat vehicles in the atmosphere, and that in the long term, permanent settlements could be made in the form of cities designed to float at about fifty kilometer altitude in the atmosphere of Venus.

Different trusts in the NHS have wildly differing support, policies, physio, mobile apps, leaflets and documentation, etc etc. It makes the "N" in NHS a bit odd, and surely is tremendously inefficient!

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should archive peoples private lives, especially if those already deny robots in general, which many mastodon profiles do.

I can understand overriding a corporate decision, but the meta tag on Mastodon profiles is a user preference that is explicitly opt in.

There's a lot of harm that can be done with archived data and you idiots never see the issue because you're not targets and you assume anything anyone puts on the internet will be curl'd by someone. But that's because YOU'RE THE ONES DOING IT. STOP.

If you want an overview of minifigure weapons Lego has used over the years you can get a pretty complete picture here: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=2&pg=1&catString...

Even though Lego sets do sometimes include weapons, even very gun-like weapons, to me there is still a pretty clear line Lego draws. Their City sets don’t include guns and guns are the exception, not the rule, otherwise.

Look at Lego’s competitors if you want to get an idea of what Lego could be doing. Obviously those are looking for their niche, so that’s to be expected. They have modern and 20th century military equipment sets and I could never imagine Lego releasing sets like that.

I've had a couple of <$50 drones which I've played with a bit. It was fine for the money--though very fiddly, at least the ones I've had. Hard to actually use the camera.

Fun enough for a few hours punctuated by recharging but not really something I see myself spending $500-$1000 on. I don't have kids. I can see them being fun toys. I spent many hours as a child playing with balsa wood gliders for example.
My SO had her first corneal transplant done at Moorfield (UK) about 8 years ago, and the second in Sydney (AU) earlier this year - in both cases it's astonishing how fast the eye adapts, especially given there's stitches holding the thing in, and they stay in for twelve months and are then removed - ie. not dissolving thread.

Specifically, she had better than contact lens corrected over the previous state within a month or two.

Actually, equal parts astonishing and depressing, given my eyesight (after several decades spent staring at screens) is guaranteed to get worse, not better, from here on out.

Climate change was never going to be reversible with behavioral measures. Even if everyone had followed the Kyoto protocol to the letter starting in 1992 that wasn’t going to avert climate change, because nobody contemplated how quickly China and India would develop. There is no calculus where you can significantly limit climate change through behavioral measures that also allow the third world to have comfortable, modern lives. There will be 400 million people in Nigeria by 2050 and there is no political regime to address climate the change that’s workable unless it allows them to live a life at least as decent as say Eastern Europe. The west could reduce GHG emissions to zero and it wouldn’t do the trick.

People have viewed climate change as a political issue and its not. It’s a scientific issue. It’s the astroid hurtling toward earth in the movie Armageddon or the aliens in Independence Day. The solution to climate change is not governments and politicians and lawyers. It’s engineers. It’s always been engineers.

I have also wondered about the inevitability of the dominance of a tiny number of increasingly powerful corporations. I used to joke about William Gibson’s cyber punk novels being future history, but now perhaps it is nothing to joke about.

Since (mostly) retiring I have been volunteering at my local food bank which is both a positive example of local self organization and serves as an introduction to many other small specialized groups that make sure kids get new school clothes, and other specific community needs.

By nature I am a happy and optimistic person and I think that the future might still turn out just fine, but with better AI and other tech, different social structures, etc. I bet that changes in society will accelerate. Nothing is the same except for change, but I argue the that second derivative of change is going to exponentially skyrocket.
If not for 'programs /like/ this', how else has 'infant mortality dropped nearly everywhere' ??

Just because Finland introduced boxes and other countries didn't does not mean that the Finland's contribution to the overall decrease to infant mortality was not due to boxes.

Also, for gp comment -- nanny is a odd way to spell welfare.
There was a lot of talk about how the world will be "uninhabitable by 2050" or "civilization will crumble by 2050" and anecdotally, that really backfired for all my elderly aunts and uncles. They happily admit that climate change is real but don't care because they will be dead by 2040. Hell, I'll be in my 80's.
Even more depressing when I see co-workers, friends and family actually do that and I'm trying to climb the ladder by working hard and paying the last penny of tax I owe.
If it's not accessible from the internet, and there's nothing especially sensitive on it, the maintenance becomes less of an issue. ie, you don't need quite as good security if you don't put your server on the internet. I'm not going to say there are no security concerns, but they could be mitigated pretty well by setting up a DMZ, or just otherwise protecting it from your other LAN clients.
