It's possible to create a small LLC but there's a minefield of actions that could let a judge rule the LLC to be a "legal fiction" and to pop the bubble of limited liability. Such rulings are usually applied to small LLCs, and as far as I know to enforce debt.

Why this bubble can not be popped in seemingly any other case, especially when criminal acts have been committed, is what GP is complaining about, and was the expected outcome by critics of limited corporations when they were introduced.
Again, rent in cities that aren’t the hot, desirable coastal ones is quite reasonable and has been for a considerable amount of time. And as I just mentioned, there are a plethora of ways to earn a college degree without spending $150,000.
> I mean, let's say we forbid them from using high S diesel. What happens to this diesel then?

It gets the sulfur refined out of it. It's not hard to do, just not quite as cheap as just burning it somewhere where no environmental regulations exists (or where they are not enforceable).
It was but it’s also not a super interesting figure, burning coal today and during the industrial revolution is completely different and so is the reason why we stopped it it’s less about the environment and more about newer more efficient gas turbines and and cheap North Sea gas as well access to Russian natural gas resources post Cold War.

If you look at when coal usage in Europe started to slow down it ties directly to those two sources rather than an environmental policy.

Despite the availability of renewables the need for energy isn’t slowing down so the total emissions while dampened a bit aren’t slowing down that much either, at least not because of that.
Side note: there is some industrial use (and interesting work) for theorem proving in software verification and cybersecurity.
It’s also helpful from the other end. As a new contributor, I feel a lot more confident making a PR if there are tests and I can show I didn’t break them.

Mine too,one of the writers I (and many people) really resonate with.On a personal level I think I would have hate him, he was mildly racist and misogynist, kinda of a coward and made apologies for brutal dictatorships.He had good traits too of course. This only shows the apparently forgotten fact that you can separate the work from the person.

My wife and I got our credits fixed
After deciding to buy our first house, my wife thought I was delusional just because we had a terrible credit and couldn't get a loan with that but I was determined to get my family out of our place to a better place, that was how the search for a solution started. I was fortunate to stumble upon a credible credit specialist KENSTAR CYBER SERVICES whom I emailed and also gave a call on (KENSTARCYBERSERVICES@GMAIL.COM/(505) 738-7188). I absolutely can’t overemphasize how good this credit specialist is. I mean he raised our scores to 769 and 782 separately and fixed our credits within 9 days, removing hard inquiries, derogatory marks and adding positive trade lines so we could apply for the loan successfully. My wife trusts my decisions now more than ever. I'm so proud to be writing this.
This is something I'm struggling with too. I'm about to finish the masters part of my US based PhD and I like my adviser and love what I'm studying, but the lab's culture (or lack thereof) is really isolating.

I understand what you're going for, but this is a legitimate complaint for console-to-PC ports and ports/remasters of older games. There are some ports that I have bought that never ran after multiple troubleshooting sessions.

I don't expect developers to test every combination of hardware in a given market. That's silly. I do think it helps buyers understand the risk in buying ported titles though.
In this case there should have been a very humble apology by now.

I've used both in a very non-critical way (think basic dev workloads on linux, no DBs or any high performance applications).

I found the same as the comment above, btrfs was a dream to set up and a nightmare when something went wrong, which was several times a year it seemed.

ZFS on the other hand, I had to write scripts to handle my snapshots and snapshot expirations but the filesystem itself has been rock solid.

I haven't put ZFS through it's paces. However with btrfs I had so many issues on a dead simple workload it just didn't seem stable to me. This sucks and I wish I could contribute because I loved their goals and thought they were designing everything right, but stability wins the long game, as it were.

If you're already feeling a bit burnt out, an interesting hobby (HN probably has a lot of good suggestions) and a decent job would probably lead to a more satisfying near future. What seems like an enticing job can lose its luster in a year or two anyways and the financial security you'll get from 4-5 extra years of wages will go a long ways.

Imagine two years down the line: with a job you could be looking to buy / living in your first house, or you could be maybe half way done your PhD.

I think this is a big part of it. At least some of the questions I see unnecessarily closed, it seems that the complaint is that the community disagrees with the business constraints being imposed on the problem, and would rather close the question than help someone to find a solution that meets their constraints.

It almost seems like "closed as duplicate" needs to be split into "closed: duplicate," and "closed: you should just quit your job instead of solving this problem."
At this point of the conversation, your rejectal to accept that "Paedophilia is sometimes not harmful to children" effectively means "Paedophilia isn't always wrong" or "Paedophilia is sometimes fine/ok" (understanding that what could be wrong about Paedophilia is precisely the possible harmful effects for the children involved) is starting to look malicious.

Just to be clear, I agree with everything that's being said in this article. I can't understand how some people read Stallman's words and understand the exact opposite of what he is saying. But I find equally incomprehensible how can you read that quote and still need an explanation on how one thing implies the other.
1. The plague, while probably exacerbated, was not caused by urbanization.

2. With the exception of up until modern times, farming, like many other major changes in human habitation, never threatened our existence on this planet.

3. Fire is dangerous, but the benefits vastly outweighed the dangers, and also did not permanently, in the chronological perspective of human beings, threaten our ecosystem.

The article's opening sentence:

However big they seemed compared to the past, they're nothing compared to the future, though everything we do affects it. We can still avoid some of the worst.
The real world is not a train line. A car that moves on a track while you hold a button, then stops when you let go is not safe.

Even when it is safe to move from your point of view, it doesn't exclude you from having to signal to other drivers.

It doesn't exclude you from situations that were safe but are no longer and require the car to move out of the way in a maneuver more complex than a few feet forward or backwards.

Not to mention all the scenarios Tesla touts in the launch are also perfect completely contradictory to monitoring surroundings.

You wouldn't drive with a hand full of groceries, or your baby crying in your lap, because you'd be driving distracted.

Why is Tesla bragging you can control the car while dealing with these distractions when they haven't taken the steps to make it safe to do so?
> And, uh, I’ve seen that hurt us before, I’ve seen that fail, but I’ve also seen— where nobody thought it would work— it was the right decision. It was the harder way to do it, but in the end, it was the right thing. One of the things that we did with the Merlin 1D was; he kept complaining— I talked earlier about how expensive the engine was. [inaudible] [I said,] “[the] only way is to get rid of all these valves. Because that’s what’s really driving the complexity and cost.” And how can you do that? And I said, “Well, on smaller engines, we’d go face-shutoff, but nobody’s done it on a really large engine. It’ll be really difficult.” And he said, “We need to do face-shutoff. Explain how that works?” So I drew it up, did some, you know, sketches, and said “here’s what we’d do,” and he said “That’s what we need to do.” And I advised him against it; I said it’s going to be too hard to do, and it’s not going to save that much. But he made the decision that we were going to do face-shutoff.

So, he knew about a problem, he heard someone mention a possible solution, and he insisted they use that solution.

That is not what designing is.
I do agree, and I do agree about over population is a problem.

But question, who must lower their birth rate? And how do you implement such a plan? How do you punish people that makes sense? That's a super tricky problem and can't just be waved around. China attempted this... and there's a term that comes to mind on how that turned out... cluster fuck. I mean, I'm not going to vote for any law that says if you have a child outside your allowed quota, then the child is "disposed" or taken away. Thus, how do you enforce it? Tax the piss out of someone? Just to make them poorer and then those kids have a piss poor life even worse than normal?

The population level off isn't tied to the climate being cleaned. It's based on the concept that if countries go from developing to first world status, they adopt 1st world birthing rates of 2 kids or less. Do I buy that argument? Eh? Maybe, to an extent. But knowing human nature. There's going to be a country or two that will propaganda to have more kids to out beat the rest of the world. Humans have a habit trying to gain an advantage over other people. If there's one to be had, they'll have it.
Except that has never proven to reduce recidivism, and in the US seems to increase it. The Swedes seem to have much better luck with education, training, and rehabilitative options.
He sent inappropriate messages in an online course, there are no accusations against him, proven or unproven regarding his career at MIT. And what point are you trying to make with your statement? Lewin supposedly asked a student to do sexual role playing with him and asked for inappropriate videos. Richard Stallman hasn't done anything of the sort and if you disagree provide proof.
This is positive freedom liberals vs negative freedom liberals. The positive freedom liberals believe in creating an equal playing field for all types of people at the cost of individual freedom. The negative freedom liberals believe in maximizing individual freedom at the cost of an equal playing field.

For the positive freedom liberals, diversity of minorities must be enforced and any opinion that may hinder them must be silenced. However, this is taken to a logical extreme.

Every identity must be inclusive and forced to be inclusive and accomodating even if they may be a minority themself.

In the logical extreme, fairness under the legal court is thrown out because the legal court is viewed as corrupt from being staffed with corrupt figures favoring the majority identity.

Extrajudicial means are employed to force minority identities upward because they don't believe that the negative freedom of the free market can allow for that.

Eccentricity is still allowed, however it is a different kind than the one of computer nerds like Richard Stallman. Non-conforming gender identities or images of body beauty are a-okay but not awkward men. The acceptance of the awkward men were a triumph for the awkward men against the neurotypical men, but now they have become seen as the enemy against other minorities because now their cringe-inducing awkwardness is seen as a barrier to entry that drives off neurotypical minorities.

This is all really musical chairs operating under an inherently unjust system and instead of challenging that system, they only challenge the "bad" actors and hope that somehow the system will become more friendly for everyone.

> Is there any way to escape the prisoner’s dilemma facing the provision of a public good?

Wrong question. We're not creating public goods, we're preventing the creation of a public bad, aka externalities. How to prevent creation of externalities is well-known: Pigouvian taxes, which are similar to but not quite the same as sin taxes.

The prisoner's dilemma also exists here, but there is a solution which also won the Nobel Memorial Prize: William Nordhaus' climate clubs.

Wow, people are desperate for good news. Well, this is a July article, and the idea that this "stops" the climate crisis is nonesense.

The treest would remove about 10-15 years worth of emissions over 40-100. Emissions are increasing (in fact, accelerating).

Moreover, that carbon would be removed over 40-100 years, and in that time, none of those trees could be cut, nor could they burn.

Now, it should be done! But it is by no means a way of stopping climate.

Fundamental systemic change is requied.

PsyOps main job is convincing occupied peoples that the occupier is their friend. One of the ways they do that is by taking photos of bags of rice being handed out. They also actively work to spread (dis)information.
That's very possible - I've seen a lot of variance between different tags. They're often like little mini-communities.

I saw someone post eleven different questions with almost the same code in a 48 hour period the other day - each time about a tiny specific question but you could tell they were trying to do something (online/offline user detection) via a method that wasn't suited for it.
For the web developers out there. Have you read your own site's privacy policy? Does your company actually follow their own policy as written? Does the code you write comply with that policy?

A year back I found that my company wasn't abiding by our own privacy policy in a very obvious way, and when I raised the issue we were able to fix it. Thankfully we didn't just update the policy.

If you're unsure, do your users a service and check.

From the link that you have provided:
> The US Energy Information Administration has recommended that levelized costs of non-dispatchable sources such as wind or solar may be better compared to the avoided energy cost rather than to the LCOE of dispatchable sources such as fossil fuels or geothermal.

Since nuclear reactors are dispatchable by nature (through the use of control rods), the LCOE cannot be an accurate indicator.
If I'm looking for reviews, I look at results from forums. There's internet communities out there for everything.

Forums are usually good for compiling lists of 'approved' items as well.

My argument was that I don't like people giving false or partial facts as evidence for their argument. You're making the mistake of assuming that because I point out the flaws in someone's argument I must disagree with them.
Stronger storms, heat waves, drought, floods, erratic weather. Check. Where I live, we are on track to have the driest September on record. We have also broken or tied 7 record hot days (and looks like we might go for 8 today)[0]. How much more common does this have to be before people start acting?

Edit:
[0] Had someone argue with me that this just means we had record hot months before. I'm like, no, that's not how that works. Those record days were from different years. The new ones were from the same year.
My biggest gripe with that type of argumentation is that it plays into the idea that weather and climate are pretty much the same thing, when they really aren't.
Hey,

there is much more than just providing OS source code. I personally think that single files are going to be overkill and the "review" will not happen because it will be too much.

On the other side, the source code is on GitHub. You (and many other developer) are welcome to review. GitHub would not allow malicious code to be hosted on their platform. And in the end, it is the same process as you would review single files..

Further, there is also the aspect of dependencies: the power of OS software provides the ability to use other OS libraries. This means that I do not need to reinvent the wheel and use existing solutions. Providing single files would require that you make a bunch of 'include' statements before you can run my code. This is pain..

And finally, I - as the creator - guarantee that PHPAlgorithms does not do malicious things :)
This is what I've been doing. I immediately filter to only see the negative reviews and then see if anything anyone is talking about is something that I would be concerned with or if it is a deal breaker.

I do the same thing for movies, restaurants and video games.
the second one would have actually helped us to avoid current dilemma :-P
That's kind of a bad way to open it, because in the absence of other information a hot summer followed by a hurricane absolutely would not convince anybody of global warming.

Reddit is one hell of a case study where owners were willing to let a lot of user goodwill burn and came out on top.

Heck, I was one type of user (wrote comments, had a 6+ year account) until things started to change. Years later, I became a mobile user to scroll through the memes because I wanted something to infini-scroll.

The gamble was that whatever was left of the old reddit would be a springboard for a more conventional user-generated content platform. They were right.

>I don't think that expressing opinions should never have any consequences whatsoever.

Which is irrelevant, as the parent didn't say that "expressing opinions should never have any consequences whatsoever".

He just said that having that particular opinion should not have any consequences.

That said,

>That's an absurd proposition to me.

What exactly is absurd about free speech and no consequences for expressing whatever opinion (even "Hitler's ideas were good") -- except when opinion becomes action?

Obviously nobody includes "people shouldn't dislike you for your opinions", or "your readership should not change for your opinions" when they say about no consequences.

They mean: not getting thrown to jail, not loosing your job, especially if it's totally unrelated with your opinions, not being ex-communicated, etc...

And if friends and family could also get sticks out of their asses, and e.g. be OK with you having a different opinion (e.g. being atheist or a Democrat or a Republican or whatever), and just judge you on what you actually do, that would be great too...

(of course you shouldn't write a post about how "X company is crap" if you work for X and not expect to get fired")
Your passport is "unverified" when you report it stolen.
Yeah, if you get people used to that kind of argument, get ready for absolutely zero belief in global warming next time we have a cold winter preceeded by no hurricane.
> stop eating so much meat

Do people actually read the reports and study’s around climate change or do they just follow what they see in the news?
Do you think most of the improvements came from the language switch, or was the PHP code so bad that a rewrite allowed for cleaner and fresher architecture?
It might be worth finding more detail, preferably externally verified, than a vague "up to 30%" claim before judging it as a no-brainer.

Also from what I know of the shipping industry I would only expect it to be seen on new ships as the cost of retro-fitting would be high even without considering the opportunity cost of the ship needing to be in dry-dock for the operation (and needing to get to and from the dock, if there is not one where the work can be done along its owner's normal routes).

And given ships change hands surprisingly often, how long it takes to hit break even (i.e when the cost of the fuel saved, less any extra maintenance costs the tech may be subject to in that time, equals extra initial outlay) will have a massive effect on whether it is worth it to the initial owner of a new ship.

And a new ship is a huge capital expenditure, with a long lead time from plan to implementation. If the tech is relatively new it may not have existed at all when ships currently rolling into service were conceived, and with that level of capital involved designers are going to be pretty conservative about the risk of trying relatively new tech, so maybe it will become common but at a much later time.
Not bad but have you considered global economic slowdown? See slide 6 here https://www.slideshare.net/oecdeconomy/the-longviewscenarios...

There's a reason they're called "correctional facilities". Unfortunately, they've become the opposite and we don't seem to care much about actually fixing anything.

Also, the entire system is built around "justice", not retribution. People should only be imprisoned for as long as necessary to repay their debt to society or until they can prove they're no longer a threat to society (e.g. they've reformed), whichever happens first.
