Or they could just work towards better working conditions? Unions dont really have the growth incentive private entities do. Prison guards are extremely far from running out of work, quite the opposite is true and their members also suffer under the poor working conditions of an chronically understaffed and underpaid sector. They are risking their life because politicians think overcrowding prisons isnt a problem.

I mean I get the initial point, some police unions are an especially vile proponents of an expansion into a police state, its just not really about working conditions. Its political lobbying. In Germany you can see it every time more competences for the police are discussed in parliament. You have some police unions giving legit feedback if someone bothers to ask them, how those competences are a bad idea and are not needed. And then you have speakers for other police union (with a catchy union name to seem more important) where you can see they have the right party membership and are looking for a career in politics. As a result you can see them in every news report that wants to bring across a certain message.

> public transports must be designed to transport not only pedestrians but their bikes too.

If we are talking about metro transportation, and not intercity trains and such, I strongly disagree. A bike takes up the space of multiple standing people, is dirty and hard and is not easily moved during an emergency where a stampede is a very real risk. Bicycles belong in bike parking, which there should be plenty of, but you can take public transportation between parkings. Bringing everybody's bikes on a tram or metro train during rush hour in a city of any meaningful size is a bad idea.
Since most of your post here is just repeating yourself, I'll avoid doing the same and again implore you to read the useful thing sources I've provided to support most of every statement I've made. You seem have grossly misinformed yourself on this topic and I would strongly suggest reading about it, ideally from The Guardian or the raw data itself. Suffice to say PRISM is not a fancy way of saying "sending a warrant to Google."

Yeah, it's like a married woman in the 19th century would like to speak with a lawyer about her rights, and her husband forbids it, and people comment "oh, but is he really so bad? Why does she need a lawyer anyway?"

Employees are in a vulnerable position. It makes sense for them to join together and jointly hire lawyers and professional negotiators.

A company that forbids you from joining a union is abusive.

I've been in a union and it was super helpful.

Your start-up team wouldn't sign an agreement with a VC without consulting an attorney. Why should your employees sign an employment contract without getting outside advice and help?

Talking about private sector, private contractor doing shaded activities for US clients is not the same as "Israel espionage". Israel is a country, does the article suggest evidence that Israel (or someone on its behalf) have done any espionage in US?

Qouting your comment from another thread:
"The article is presenting a claim [you are, Israel espionage is not claimed in the article] which needs to be backed by sound evidence, like research papers [or any other evidence]. That's where the burden of proof lies, not on those who reject the claim on face value."

I recognise the problems with home ownership, and agree that affordable rent may even be the answer for some people that don't want that responsibility, but the solution of "10 storey buildings" just isn't the answer.

Case in point: the Sydney apartment building disaster. Multiple apartment buildings with problems, losing tons of money by having to move out of cracking/leaking/structurally unsound buildings. And almost no support or compensation coming their way.

Unfortunately, strata based housing many times results in developers extorting "owners" with fees, little to no maintenance (or just the bare minimum), cutting corners on building, and so on. At least with home ownership you know exactly what you need to do, and if it doesn't get done then it's your own fault. Even renting a house is better, because you can very clearly see if things are wrong. An apartment building is harder to get a clear overall picture of. Walls sinking? Foundations cracking? Ceilings dipping? Roof leaking? You can usually only see some of these issues in any given apartment depending on what floor you're on, how big your apartment is, etc.
From this point of view, it's not easy to see what exp(1) should be. The beauty is in the connection.

Just because you have spent a whole summer figuring something out doesn't mean you should have long lasting government protected monopoly to use it. The problem with software patents is that it's very likely other people would come up with similar solutions if they spent time on the problem. There is no reason to give the monopoly to the one first around the post. This is especially true for things that took a few months and very little capital to figure out.
I'm not sure whether any are used here but there are actually ways to build zero-tick repeaters - they're just larger multi block configurations instead of being a single item.

> Using typical panels on roof, hood, and trunk only nets you 4-6 miles / day of solar energy if you do the math.

FWIW there's a project to actually do that: https://lightyear.one

This is an outgrowth from the WSC, the founders are alumni from TU/e.

Now the car is really covered in panels (~5 sqm), it looks like they just replaced the rear window by panels (as well as panelling the hood, trunk and roof obviously).

IIRC they were claiming up to 12km/h solar charging (as in you could crawl along on solar alone on sunny days). According to their calculator thingie, they're expecting about 5km/day in midwinter aberdeen (on average obviously).

That awkward phase when you try to build a culture of positive values and then your employees start trying to hold you to that (or "take advantage" by unionizing) and then now you have to walk that back, and tamp down on that culture.

That's where Microsoft's old TerraServer got their stuff, too, IIRC, which is the first place I remember seeing anything like that online. Wasn't that much worse than Google's version, really, considering how much earlier it was.

I think my parents had an aerial photo of their land a few years before even TerraServer was came around, from some guy who'd flown over a big chunk of territory taking photos and then sold them to the land owners. I assume this was far from the only person doing that, all over the US. Pretty cool back then, when a clear shot from the air of the area you lived in wasn't something you could grab at a computer any time you wanted, or with a cheapish drone and a few spare minutes. And before everyone else could creep on your space in the same manner on a whim, for that matter.

Hilariously, Apple actually considers the shift from C++98 to C++11 something that required an operating system upgrade (they purposefully shipped an ancient version of libstdc++ while disingenuously doing comparisons against only what they shipped, not what had come from upstream, for as long as they could until libc++ was reasonable, which debuted on macOS 10.7--where I will note it was horribly broken due to an LLVM optimizer bug in the specific clang build they used to compile it, so really it wasn't available until macOS 10.8--and as Apple does not believe in static linking, their SDK doesn't have a way to work around this; of course, you can, and I did--by getting the code for libc++, modifying it to use an underlying libstdc++ as the moral equivalent of libc++abi, and statically linking that, which worked great and is frankly what Apple should have done themselves during the transition period :/--it is notable that Apple didn't want people to: they really do mentally model that as an operating system upgrade, which to me is an amazing demonstration of how little they understand of the power and potential of decoupled toolchains).

My understanding is that this is essentially a mistake in that the red meat studies included deli meats like hot dog, ham and bologna.

If you eliminate those meats then red meat alone is perfectly fine.
If it was nonviolent crime, then island where convicted can live with shops, houses, internet, trains and parks and local elected administration and cctv, but cannot go back to the rest of the world.

But if it is a serious violent crime, it should still be prison. Comfortable like in Europe or better, but preventing convicted from doing harm to others.

It should not be a punishment. It should be just an isolation. Separation of bad people from good people.
Well presumably anyone smart enough to mass produce interstellar probes would be able to make pretty decent sensors for a probe that's 100-1000 meters long (Oumuamua). Might even pick an asteroid that's long and thin and core it out and put a big telescope inside.

At least some speculation on Oumuamua lead to the conclusion that it had unusually low mass for an object so large.

Oumuamua might well have reported something interesting 1000 years ago when it was 0.09 light years away. Maybe changes in the atmospheric chemistry related to human activity.

Also note C/2019 Q4 is approaching at about 50% faster than the previous. It looks like it's a comet with a tail... or is that a retrorocket?

I see, it's more amazing than my simple examples. But why is it more amazing as this presumably uninteresting series I just made up

sum(n=1...infinity, 1/2^n - 1/(2^n+1))

That also has alternating terms that grow differently in opposite directions and have huge numbers, yet they cancel out so that it converges to something. Is that uninteresting because each term in a pair has the same exponent, or because it doesn't converge to something that's closer to zero as something in the terms increases?

Maybe you can't easily just make up a converging series that has all the features they listed and that uniqueness makes it interesting?

I was a long-time DTV subscriber that recently cut the cord. It was a total pain, but I am now glad I did it and should have done it years ago.

What finally pushed me over the edge was a change DirecTV made. One day when you paused a program you were watching on your DVR, instead of showing a screensaver they’d show an ad for a Directv PPV movie. I have a bunch of movies on iTunes, I will literally never buy a movie on DTV. No way to disable it.

Something about the sheer stupidity of forcing an ad on someone who pays $200 a month (and knows they are overpaying) for a “premium” experience an ad for something they will literally never buy. It was just infuriating beyond belief.

I knew I would never be able to talk sense or get my voice heard at such a huge company. And I knew people would never cancel in large enough numbers that they got the message. But I cancelled anyways, pushed to do it, and glad I did.

But it did make me a hater to root against them. And so I am glad to hear that this decision among others is finally getting through to them.

Now I think I just need a home visit from one of the core developers of YoutubeTV to come and explain how I am supposed to use their dumb app and why they couldn’t make it like every other DVR in the past 20 years :)

Seems more like a marketing stunt than anything.. Sounds like a nice idea but the marginal benefit is likely zilch. If you're going to build solar panels, you should put them somewhere where you're optimizing their power generation.
You are assuming that the civilization that sent it is trying to be stealthy. Not to mention at only 60,000 mph (Oumuamua) or 90,000 mph (C/2019 Q4) these probes need to be designed for many 100,000 years of travel if not millions. During that time they will see quasars, supernovas, and a wide variety of high energy particles. Might well make more sense to have many feet of rock as shielding instead of trying to keep a high power energy source going for that long. If you are patient gravity assisted slingshots makes quite a bit of sense.

> a comic book posted on Kickstarter that explicitly condones and encourages solving political differences with violence, this breaking their ToS. In particular, this work encouraged violence against fascists, so it's a relatively defensible position, but it's totally not as clear cut as you make it out to be.

I think this is totally a matter of the ToS and what it says, and in those terms the matter seems entirely clear cut. In terms of the ToS it (the comic book) seems in no way defensible.

Aside from that, I don't see how anyone can claim to be against solving political differences with violence if they make exceptions to that rule.

I very strongly disagree. If I spend years to develop software and someone copied the code and sells it then I think it will be almost universally perceived as unfair enrichment by others.
If I come up with a clever solution to do voice calls and then another person comes up with the same solution in their app then it's tough luck but there aren't many people who would feel it's unfair. After all we both based our work on existing knowledge and our ingenuity unlike in the previous case where people copying didn't do any work themselves.

There is strong moral argument for copyright, a sentiment most people at least in Western culture agree with: you shouldn't be able to take work of others without doing any yourself.

I'd argue that running at 100% of provisioned capacity is something that only makes sense for a very, very small subset of DynamoDB users. Actually I'd only do it if my access patterns were really predictable and if it's fine if requests get throttled.

The more common use case is that you over-provision your provisioned capacity to be able to handle some spikes in the number of accesses well. While there was already DynamoDB Autoscaling, I suggest everybody using it checks out DynamoDB OnDemand, as that might (depending on the access patterns) still save a lot over DynamoDB Autoscaling and is overall way less hazzle, because you simply don't have to care about scaling the provisioned capacity at all anymore.

I strongly agree, the u.s. criminal justice system needs a overhaul of zealous prosecutors who want to threaten non-violent offenders with felony convictions just to make a name for themselves. Greed is still the primary motive, a young prosecutor knows they can command a 6 or 7 figure salary in the private sector if the have a substantial amount of convictions under their belt. Yes, private prisons are bad, yes prison guard unions and police unions are bad, but prosecutors are equally guilty of the same greed and profit driven motivation... when was the last time you heard a story of a former prosecutor getting unemployment insurance or food stamp assistance?
