There's no wall at the South Pole, so dragging a country across should just make it come back on the other side. That's actually what's happening here, except that the color ends up on the wrong side of the outline.

My guess is that the drawing code tries to correct the orientation of its input to avoid drawing shapes inside-out, which fails when the outline stretches across the full width of the map.
Indeed! That's exactly the point. AWS or other cloud providers are hard to use because they are about managing a data center - that you can replicate across different regions (so, multiple data centers). That's it. People confuse that with a VPS, where you start your vm and everything works out of the box.

If you need abstractions, use Heroku and that's it, you don't have to know how DNS works, or which subnet to choose for your VMs etc.
That's interesting, and I'm curious why someone would know this. Are you in the field?
According to the company:

- It's cheaper per KWh (they claim 40%, IIRC, but that was in 2015)

- It requires less maintenance (no moving parts)

- It doesn't kill birds

- It's silent (no frequencies >20 Hz)

- It's 30% less efficient than a blade design but you can put twice as many in the same area

- It doesn't cause the alternating light/shadow effects that huge blades do
Not sure how much renovations cost in the UK, but here in Norway they can be ridiculously expensive IMO. A -7 m^2 bathroom alone can easily cost you £30k-£40k when using pros - and a bathroom needs to get renovated every 10-15 years.

I think there's good money in renting and flipping, but in the long term there's a lot of costs involved, even if you're quite the handyman that can fix most things yourself.
Each of which individually generates really limited traffic?

Besides, the number of domains and relatively short TTLs mean that even the big resolvers will not have most requests cached except for the most popular domains.
What's your level of experience with ops/networking etc.? Because it all boils down to that. If you need a simpler service, maybe you could use digital ocean etc...
Your choices are often between these two:

1. Higher throughput, higer latency and correctness on one side.

2. Lower throughput, lower latency and some risk of faults on the other side.

It's like the difference between tcp and udp.

In some of European countries, shops are closed (by law) on Sunday. Gas stations are exempt from this, hence they morph into shops.
My UK experience is that for many people it is dinner, not lunch, that is the main meal of the day. You might have a sandwich or something similar that you can eat in the break room at work, and then go home for a cooked meal with the rest of your family in the evening. This isn't universal, of course -- I have my main meal at lunch because I can get a cooked meal in the work cafeteria and then I don't need to cook for myself at home. But in the past when I've worked places that don't have cafeterias I've eaten sandwiches and had the main meal in the evening.

Barcelona has some of the best cheap fine dining options, on the other hand. And the quality of meats and things you'd put in a sandwich available in the supermarket is much better for my tastes; I say this as a weekend tripper to Barcelona, I live in London.

That makes some sense as most of the population in Barcelona seemed to me to be British expats. By and large I had a tough time finding anything much better than okay (and certainly anything Catalan is well hidden). In contrast I found Madrid to be particularly easy to find good food (and generally less expensive than anything in BCN).

I don't eat sandwiches from stores, last time I did that was 12 years ago. A sandwich is a last, desperate choice. I get my lunch from one of the stalls at a street food market, between £6 and £7.50 every day.

At that price point you've got plenty of options, even in San Francisco or New York. The Yank Sing to-go location downtown is definitely one of the better value propositions.

London is good for Asian food; some of my co-workers who have Asian wives don't think much of the food in Paris for this reason.

The last time I tried Asian food in London was well over a decade ago, but nothing really stood out. Sure, it was better than the chicken and cheese shu mai I had in Spain (let's face it that sounded like a bad idea as soon as those words left my drunken mouth), but that's a low bar.

When comparing things like sandwiches, I think it's important to normalise for sandwich eating as part of the culture.

Sure. San Francisco trends more towards co-opting burritos than sandwiches, but there's still a definite sandwich culture. What we don't have out here at least is any sort of culture around ready-to-go low effort lunch food. In fact I'd say that whole "slow food" movement hit San Francisco particularly hard. At near/under $10 you can find plenty of things for lunch, but you'll probably have to wait for it to be assembled/cooked.
DoH definitely doesn't mitigate against your upstream provider doing traffic inspection and siphoning the IPs your network is connecting to. Ultimately, they have to route your IP packets, so they'll always have that visibility.

But this 1) adds a technical hurdle, 2) reduces accuracy of the data captured, and 3) adds a potential legal barrier, as the data is not theirs anymore

GPT2 Neural Network Text Adventure
Yes, ISPs can know IP addresses and map domains to IP addresses, they can also know exact SNI names, all kinds of passive TCP-level information about your communications, can do active probing for all kinds of information on behalf of you, can use all that together to build a much more detailed profile of you, than available through DNS queries. There is an entire industry of commercial DPI solutions to do that. On top of that ISPs can always block DoH and force fallback to their own DNS servers. So, a minimum amount of privacy can only be achieved with a VPN (or a proxy), not DoH, DoH just leaks to and centralizes data on third parties, violating privacy, making it easier for state actors to spy on people, things like that, it might even give governments capabilities to do world wide censorship if all major browsers implement it. Mozilla, Cloudflare and everyone else involved are being very dishonest when it comes to DoH.
I guess this is one of the reasons I'll never be rich, but to some of us houses are homes, not just figures on a balance sheet.

I find the clinical discussion of asset values and such in the context of a bizarre market which leaves local families on modest incomes priced out of owning properties in their neighborhood (in extreme cases like London often owned by dubious foreign organisations) and the disruptive ("dynamic") trend to transience of others' communities in pursuit of the individual's bank balance distasteful and anti-social.

My understanding is that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation only works on projects that are very transparent in their costs and minimise the risk of corruption siphoning away the money. No system is perfect but when I worked in international aid they were always the stick other orgs measured themselves against.

They talk about aggregate house prices in national level and only there. Their asset pricing model seems to explain prices in in England and Wales much better than traditional dividend discount model. Real house prices for last 20 years be explained almost entirely by lower interest rates.

I really enjoy it, when Apple reacts in anger to a hit-piece, like with Spotify, it makes them seem almost human in their response and it’s exactly how I may react if someone were to roast me in the group chat.

Granted, CEOs individually making angry statements in the heat of the moment is nothing new, but when Apple publish statements like this it really makes it appear as though the entire company feels this way (at least in the executive).
You're not wrong that the people who read Hacker News do not represent the average iPhone user. But then again, Average Jane and Joe are already used to bullshit PR speak that attempts to downplay issues, and will see through most of it.

Apple could have written "Google is correct that the bugs existed for 2 years, but Google as well as us only found evidence that the bugs were actually exploited for a total of about two months and targeted a very narrow group of specific users." and so on.

Instead they opted for a "Google is lying about us!!1! They are IMPLYING THINGS".
If a company as big as Apple with well stocked legal and PR departments publishes a press release like that, my mind immediately goes to "what are they trying to hide or downplay".
I used to have to go to the dentist every 5-6 months in order to remove built-up plaque that kept returning.

After starting supplementation with vitamin K2 every few days (a combination of MK-4 500mcg and Mk-7 100mcg), within a few weeks the plaque came off on its own when I brushed my teeth, and now I just don't have any plaque anymore.

This doesn't work for everyone, and for me, the MK-4 form alone did not produce this effect. The MK-4 form is sort of like "preformed" K2, as opposed to the MK-7 form, which is more like a precursor that persists in your blood for much longer before being converted as needed. It probably has something to do with dental plaque / biofilm being calcium-based, and vitamin K2 causes calcium to be removed from inappropriate places in the body.

I much prefer this to something fully engineered like micro-robots.

SF feels a lot like every other major city to me. Do you think New York, Chicago, and LA have low costs of living? They're expensive too.

The cost of living in San Francisco is dramatically higher than New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

What surprises me about the Bay Area, though, is how expensive the suburbs are. I remember seeing apartments in downtown Mountain View that were $3000/month for one bedroom. Now that's insane and I don't think that happens anywhere else in the world.

Right, and you can find one bedrooms in the "outer" boroughs for well under that. Perhaps not for much longer, but still.

People pay for an awful product. What incentive do they have to improve? None. It's not just aws. All Amazon products are this way. Two day shipping comes a week later if it comes at all. Products are cheap knockoffs that break and when you return them they close your account. Aws is aws: you know you're getting ripped off but someone else is paying the bill and aws has convinced them that the service is worth it. It's not but it'll take a week to migrate away to another provider and we can't afford that. Never mind that we're losing an hour each day in productivity. Perception is everything and perception is on their side.

I think this is a legimite question! Personally I don't have a clear answer. Two arguments for a space program country with lots of poverty (like India or the USA):

* Establishing a high tech industry with programs like this potentially leads to increasing tax revenue for the country, thereby making funds available for fighting poverty.

* It could be used as a point of identification for the population in the country, helping to see oneself as a citizen in a nation, not just a member of a tribe, enlarging the "us" in "us vs. them". This can lead to more empathy towards the poor (as they are now part of "us"), which can pave the way for political changes leading to less poverty. To enable changes in a democratic country, you don't just need the funds, you have to have a political plan that resonates with a big part of the population.

It's hard to convert PP directly because it's different for different goods - the measurements usually use a basket of multiple goods and services. It's possible that e.g. eggs in India are relatively expensive, while lentils are cheaper, but if we calculated PP using the two items then it would be somewhere in the middle: a PP-adjusted $2 portion of lentils would still be bigger in India than we would expect from looking at overall PP.

This may or may not be what the GP was trying to say.
"If they fall to 5%, the value of that same stream of flowers doubles to £2,000."

How would that work? The idea is that people would sell assets that have below-market returns and buy assets that have above-market returns. Asset prices will adjust accordingly and so will the respective returns which are a function of price. And this will go on until return rates equalise across all assets.

This is the theory, but it's hard to imagine that in most circumstances a house can be traded for another asset. Why? Because having a place to live is a pre-requisite for being a functioning member of society. If tulips are under-performing sure I can sell my stock of tulips. If houses are under-performing I don't care. I'm not going to sell my house and buy something else, because I need a house. Thus I'm sceptical that the theory will work in the case of the housing market.

Unfortunately that's true.

In general, that's something that should be known in advance when someone chooses a cloud provider. As I mentioned, there is no one-site-fits-all solution. :/ Vendor lock-in is a serious issue for some enterprise companies, and in such cases you could propose something like a hybrid cloud. It's an expensive effort that could save your butt in the future.

Any "prominent" city and particularly London are not good examples.

In a non-main city the cost of a newly built house is basically the cost of the land + the cost of construction (done at a more industrial level, i.e. let's say a lot of 16 houses or a building with 30-40 flats is built with costs that are some 20-30% lower than those to re-build a single house/flat) + the margin of the builder/developer (which often is not exceeding 15 or 20%).

I will give you some real world costs for my area (Italy, Tuscany, non-main-city):

Plot/land (incidence on built surface) 500 Euro/m2

Building costs 1200-1400 Euro/m2

Projects/Taxes/permits/financial costs 500 Euro/m2

Final sale price 2800-3000 Euro/m2

Same in the nearest "main" city , Florence:

Plot/land (incidence on built surface[1][2]) 1500-2000 Euro/m2

Building (re-building) costs 1300-1500 Euro/m2

Projects/Taxes/permits/financial costs 800 Euro/m2

Final sale price 4000-6000 Euro/m2[2]

If a CA is compromised critically (private key stolen), then it's removed from the set of trusted CAs you can find in browsers or at OS level (ex: ca-certificates package on Ubuntu/Debian), which in turn makes all the certificates the CA has signed invalid.

With multiple signatures, at least, your certificate is still valid as it has at least another valid CA signature.

Also, right now, if one CA is compromised and if this goes unnoticed, the effect is a bit catastrophic as it's possible to create valid certificates for any domain. With multiple CA signatures in conjunction with a security policy mechanism stating how many of these signatures must be valid, you mitigate this issue as it would require several CAs to be compromised and controlled by the same actor to issue valid certificates.

Refusing to accept someone's money in exchange for a good like food, cellphone service, the right to assemble in a private space, whatever are certainly more ostracizing than refusing to accept someone's money in exchange for social capital.

It's not a win for privacy, ISPs will still have that data and now third parties will have that data, state actors will have that data in a nice convenient centralized locations, governments will have an ability to force those centralized providers to do censorship for them. As for oppressive regimes - they don't care about DNS data, if they want to spy on people, they will one way or another.
