The big problem with Wayland is that it isn't actually an obvious improvement over X. X is awful and long in the tooth and well overdue for replacement, but the best I can say about Wayland is that it is just differently awful. It's been in development for what, over a decade now? And it still would be missing a lot of basic functionality if it weren't for people like Drew Devault stepping up and creating new standard protocols to cover for it, as well as a library to make dealing with all these protocols less of a nightmare.

To put some numbers on this, Stella Artois is 4.8%, so a 568 ml can contains 27.264 ml of alcohol, or 2.7264 units. A minimum price of 50p a unit establishes a minimum price of £1.3632 per can, or £5.4528 per four-pack. Tesco currently sells four-packs in England for £5.50:

One thing I've always wanted to do (and hopefully will) is to hire one of those cheap online assistants that can handle generic tasks for you, and both streamline what I have to do, and use them to keep me accountable.

Having someone confirm whether you've done certain things as their job seems like something that will help me, and even if it doesn't fully help they can reduce the amount of work I need to do to start on something which is helpful on its own.

I'd be curious to hear if anyone here is doing something like this?
> We know that pricing works to change behaviour.

Wut? That makes no sense. What we know is: higher prices of a certain product will cause consumption of that product to fall. Will it happen every time? No. And you don't necessarily know if it is going to change behaviour in the way you want (again, that is the kind of policy control freakery that has, generally, not worked very well but was so beloved of New Labour/Cameron). And it may have unintended consequences. There is no stone tablet inscribed with "price is everything" that the world must obey (although that stone tablet may certainly exist at the UoC).

And you missed the point. If England doesn't have this, and alcohol-related deaths are lower is it reasonable to conclude that other stuff is going on (the fact that Scotland has much lower life expectancy would suggest that this is a reasonable conclusion).

There is no "increased revenue" (apart from a one-time duty gain...presumably). It is just minimum pricing.

Hypothecation isn't a tricky topic, it hasn't been commonly used in govt finance globally since the late 19th century (and this term usually means hypothecating govt revenues to a creditor). If you mean reserving the proceeds of a tax for a certain use though, that happens very commonly in the UK (the reason people, usually, talk about this in the UK is because some edgelords have a problem that national insurance is allocated to the NHS whilst the NI "fund", there is no fund in a financial sense, says that the money can't be spent that way).

I get down voted because of a case of tribal loyalty. I'm hoping that HN will wise up to the CO2 propaganda. I pay a price for that. Eventually I will conclude that the HN audience is not worth any such price.

Obviously in particular I get down voted because there are about four people on HN who are getting paid to down anyone arguing with the great global warming swindle.

The consistent, reliable, as reliable as a coal plant, down voting is a humiliation of HN that permits such organized attacks. In recent weeks, I've lost over 100 points from these attacks. It's an organized attack from paid anti-CO2 people.

It's clear my user ID is on a list to be attacked, for nearly anything I post, even on violin playing.

You want superconducting long distance high power lines, but those still cost too much, and there's no real hope for those lines getting cheaper. And there's no good reason to work for cheap, efficient, long distance power lines to make renewables reliable. Renewables are obviously just nonsense pushed by the anti-CO2 swindle.

That pile of coal out back is TOUGH to compete with. Similarly for nuclear fission fuel rods. We CAN send natural gas long distances via pipelines, so natural gas fueled peak load plants are tough to compete with.

For the grid, wind is hopeless, as hopeless as the screaming about CO2. Eventually the HN audience will give up on the tribalism, quasi-religion, and nonsense. A good time for that will be when people have to PAY directly for all this total nonsense about CO2. For now, talk, even really silly talk, is cheap. HN can figure this out.
It probably has; if you think it hasn't, you probably have an incorrect view of what the stock market would do without it.
The focus of the article is (as the title states) heavily on the surveillance implications, but most of what they discuss also represents additional forms of potential biometric authentication and are interesting in that respect too (and worth thinking about for people who deride biometrics as a authentication factor, the technology is still in its infancy). Most parts of a person contain significant individual randomness vs the general population when measured at sufficient resolution. The article discusses identifying butts for example, which no doubt provoked some jokes but could be genuinely pretty darn useful in a lot of vehicle anti-theft/security setups. After all, the natural design for these is most commonly for the driver to, well, sit down and then go. So they've got ass-in-seat naturally by definition anyway. Having a butt scanner embedded in the driver seat would be transparent, hard to avoid, and represent a new challenge for an attacker to take.

Not a spin.

Normal extensions can potentially monitor everything you do inside your browser, even in incognito mode. They could even impersonate you.

That's a huge gaping security hole, and I think Apple is doing the right thing by preventing that.

They've spent a lot of effort with sandboxing to limit the attack surface of native apps -- it's logical that they do the same inside the browser.
This reminds me of the psychological toll on content moderators at facebook and youtube, and previously was known to happen to police prosecuting specific murders or child sex abuse or in lawyers managing such cases.

It takes a toll on these people in a very specific manner. Someday, I hope we can identify the full extent of the harm as its own traumatic exposures, treat it appropriately, and view those showing such videos to be the psychological danger it is turning out to be.

In recent years, the price of solar panel technology has been driven down, but the cost of labor and installation hasn’t. As the framework technologies go out of date within a 25-year period, individuals and companies are facing larger costs when they are required replace both the framework system and the panels themselves every 25-30 years in order to install entirely new systems.

In contrast, the authors write that replacing panels more often with newer and more advanced models would allow cross-compatibility between the panels and the system, allowing the framework itself to remain the same while new panels are popped on and off.

So even though the installation and replacement labor is what's expensive, they assume that some kind of cross compatibility will appear, and it will be cheaper? Seems like quite a leap.

> Charlie Winter, a London-based terrorism researcher, was dining with friends one recent evening when the conversation turned to whether it is ethical to eat meat. Someone brought up slaughterhouse conditions, Winter said, and he instantly grew uneasy. He stayed for a while longer, squirming, and then finally left the room. That word — "slaughterhouse" — had conjured images of one of the most gruesome ISIS videos he'd come across. The militants had filmed a mass execution in a slaughterhouse, casting their prisoners as the animals.

I wonder if watching gruesome animal slaughter videos would eventually produce the same reaction. Given how much the industry wants to keep their treatment of animals secret [1], I can't imagine the effect is benign.

>"Subsidy" carries a connotation of purposeful action to help something.

Purpouseful action implies awareness and intention.

Externality implies not yet recognized.

Having 2 words for similar concepts does not mean they are different concepts. "heavy" and "massive" are two different words but they convey essentially the same thing.

I would agree that unrecognized externalities are not subsidies, say CO2 pollution before it was recognized, but then again since they were literally not recognized as externalities (yet).

But the very moment CO2 pollution is recognized, the previously unrecognized externality is to be instantly viewed as a subsidy.

History repeats itself, the first time as a tragedy, from then on as a farce.

> This is independent of the method of power generation.

Nope: I'm SURE you can see this, wind comes and goes often just hourly. A coal plant commonly can go years without so much as a single flicker in the power output. The coal plant itself and its pile of coal out back are no doubt factors of 10 more reliable than wind or solar.

You seem to be dreaming of renewables, at no matter what effort, e.g., superconducting long distance grid lines, molten salt storage, etc. WHY? A lot of nonsense, expensive, chancy, risky nonsense all due to some quasi-religion about CO2.

The renewables proponents want to talk storage: Yes, storage would be crucial for much in renewables. But with coal, there's a really easy approach to storage -- just that pile of coal out back renewed occasionally by long coal trains such as Burlington Northern that Buffett invested in.

Don't be fooled: It's all a swindle, about CO2, and some people are getting big bucks from this swindle.
Maybe US just finally met nation/group of individuals pissed off enough to care and go and deliver revenge the deem adequate. I mean, expecting that some random casualties ratio being upheld means all is a-OK is a bit ridiculous, don't you think?

After all the hell and atrocities done by US in Vietnam, I absolutely do not understand how there was no strong resent towards US anymore after the war to the point of actively seeking and eliminating US targets like terrorist/spies do.

It was a humbling realization for me, and I have great respect for Vietnamese people not only for this.
This comment is being down-voted, and I sort of understand why, as it comes off as overly abrasive. Obviously demographers use different years to define generations depending on the study. But I think the last part about stereotyping is worth discussion, even if the comment is overly abrasive.

I was born in a year that traditionally was generally not considered "millennial" by demographers, but since it also did not fit with the years they used for previous generations, modern definitions tend to include my birth year as "millennial". This irritates me, because myself and most of those that I know who are my age don't fit the usual descriptions of "millennials" and we don't like the association. Now, I happen to like millennials. My wife is solidly in the millennial years. I have many friends who were born in the millennial years. But I don't like having the label applied to myself and I don't fit the descriptions at all.

In the end it isn't a big deal. I have no plans to ever call myself a millennial. But it is worth cautioning against stereotyping individuals because of the year they were born, as I unfortunately see many people do.

A simple solution is often worthless if the underlying problem is complex. It's nice this project foregoes on complex things like pam, systemd, gettext, etc. But these things are often created to solve problems. Problems this 'simple' solution needs to account for as well (if not now, in the near future when use X needs feature Y). And then new functionality is introduced in the solution making it complex again (and often non-standard).

>Why would Apple care if Mac users used a [non-]Safari browser?

Apple doesn't care individually what users use. However, Apple (and everyone else for that matter) does have reason to be concerned about Google's Chrome completely dominating the web in the way IE once did. iOS is certainly their biggest bulwark, but that doesn't mean they'd be delighted if Mac users felt required to use Chrome. Further, they also have made being able to avoid the anti-privacy ad-driven ecosystem to some extent an important differentiating factor. Even with Firefox existing, having a purely Mac focused and maximally optimized browser (FF is only barely catching up this/next version on basic power efficiency for example) that has strong privacy protections with no conflicts of interest is a sales point.

That doesn't mean it's a total core focus of course, but neither is there no pressure at all.
