I grew up in Neston which is about 6 miles away. We used to get there on our bikes along an old dis-used railway line that was converted in to a walking path called the Wirral Way and pretty much allows you to go the whole length of the Wirral (a peninsular of land between the River Dee and the River Mersey), without touching a single road (there's that one quiet road in Heswall...).

You can then come off at points and explore relatively large parks like this one. We had such freedom as young as 11 ranging out and no-one ever new we were out that far.

The whole area of Thurstaston Common for a kid is like a giants playground. You run up and down the rocks, all moulded and curved with the water, the footfalls and general life going on around it. 30 years ago it was covered in graffiti maybe not so much but it was always drawing people there. My Dad went there as a child.

What you can't see from the photos is that you are on a high point looking over the River Dee with it's salt water marsh land, beeches and on the other side is Wales and the mountains with Moel Famau peaking in the distance.

And while the it might the graffiti might not be so great there is a beautiful history to the life spent around it. Not far from there is a vantage point that many Viking coins are found. As if people sat down and they fell out of their pockets. There were Viking longboats unearthed not far to the north.

If you ever get the chance its one of the most beautiful places you'll see in that quiet, reserved kind of a way.

Who ever the said the Commons were a tragedy!
Even if that is valid in its limited domain - and I doubt that it is, given that no consideration seems to have been given to the dangers of increasing variance in driver behavior - there's no reason to believe it applies where roads gain a lot more traffic than they are suited for (and especially when most of the increase are technically lost, in that they, personally, do not know where they are or what they will encounter next.)

You should read Mandelbrot’s book “the fractal geometry of nature.” He talks quite a bit about ideas like this. It’s written with the intention that non mathematicians can read and understand the ideas too which is kind of neat.

If an ISP is indeed too incompetent to manage two configurations, nothing is stopping them from deploying the State B config everywhere, as if there were nationwide net neutrality.
Not related to parent post but I think those guidelines urgently need to be updated with rules about abuse of the flagging mechanism.

China has a massive population (and arguably better location than Chile) so it could provide cheap labor during this most important moment in the late 20th century when economies became global

And it did so by reducing local regulation so that said labor could remain cheap

It was a matter of one party being insufficiently SJWist for another party. SJWism is a continuum, not a binary.

I've read elsewhere that if a radical lives long enough he'll eventually be chastised for being insufficiently radical. I don't know if it's true, but I for one will find it hilarious in a decade or two when today's SJWs are having to apologise for deriding the idea of human-animal marriage or for opposing lettuce rights in the backwards years of 2019. Or will, anyway, if I haven't died in a re-education camp by then.
always heard it referred to as 'Thor's Rock' locally.

I wonder if the name varies by area even within the local vicinity.
Not really - it's mainly just notable due to the controversy regarding the license incompatibility of ZFS and the Linux kernel, and the fact that Ubuntu is shipping them together while others deem this a violation.
"Millennial" is a dress-up word for "kids today". The connotation is much clearer under that substitution.
The idea that bus/subway fares should pay for X crumbles in the face of facts. They're not luxury, they're not useless, they being people to work and remove cars from the streets. The better and faster they are, the easier it is for a city to thrive. In fact, plenty of studies suggest that public transportation in big cities should be _free_, because when we'll managed, the benefits they bring far outweigh their cost.
I've never understood the range complaints beyond 400km. As long as your car can drive 130km/h or faster it is suitable for a road trip.

It is almost impossible to repair the damage that CO2 emissions cause. You need an even bigger clean energy source to reverse the damage so it is always more efficient to use that energy to never cause emissions in the first place. EVs are a way to reduce emissions at the cost of waiting for them to charge during road trips. But for some stupid inexplicable reason no one actually wants that trade off.
Goverment prints currencies and get debt without gold parity, so there is a ponzi scheme-like too. And the worst of it is low income people is the most hurt in this process.
User friendliness and sexiness are different enough that I would actually consider them orthogonal.
No, I wasn't trolling. Maybe I'm just extremely lucky but my current oven is 7 years old and works very well.

I'm even an avid baker and cook, so it's not like I underutilize my appliances.

It's a term to refer to "the current crop of young adults".

I so rarely see the anti-"Millennial" crowd complain about the term "Baby Boomer"; usually it's the opposite, in fact.
Again with the straw man. Please read more carefully.

I did not imply anything with that statement but the pure and simple fact that the Jakuza has at least one big extra problem to deal with since police are actually allowed to tap their phones.

And you could also be more honest by saying that total privacy is more important to you than a significant portion of criminal convictions. I don't think that's a good tradeoff.
In Copenhagen the airport has bike racks - its a 20 minute cycle to the city center.
Workspaces and virtual desktops where the best for a long time. There’s a lot of very impressive stuff the KDE people do, I don’t use it because personally I prefer a ver very simple DE.
Interesting read even if a lot of it boils down to the restaurant business being tough and that's true even if food halls simplify some things (while bringing their own set of costs and constraints).

The piece also highlights how some stalls probably haven't given enough thought to how their menu works in the context of a food hall. Certainly some menus have more all-day appeal than others which is a problem for the latter, especially if they're required to keep a full range of hours.
This just sounds like a bad/inappropriate use of a tool. I wouldn't think that a team of people working on unconnected items should have any meetings at all, let alone a daily stand-up.

As others have said, when you're working on a team where there is significant interplay or varied, related experience, they're really useful. We work on an OS and have members of the team who happen to have experience using infra and tooling. There's no way you would necessarily know this without saying "Oh, I was struggling with this bit of stats collection infra" and somebody else says "Yeah, I worked on that on x project, y years ago. Let's chat after stand-up."

There are obviously other ways to seed this kind of thing, but brief stand-ups seem a good way of doing it.

The other thing that we tend to do is just say "Oh, I did x that doesn't really relate to the project yesterday, but that's not very interesting" and leave it at that.
> No wonder the US can't compete with other countries (ahem, like China and anywhere in Asia) where workers have better work ethics. The US blue collar workers like to complain about their diminishing salaries and industries, but they won't be able to compete for long while their counterparts in other developing regions are working harder.

"better work ethics"? I prefer "unfair competition and dumping enabled by sometimes outright slavery".

That's the problem with most of the current free-trade agreements, they do not contain anything to protect the respective weaker parts getting exploited. As a result, scandals about child work and slavery conditions (e.g. in China) are commonplace, while at the same time European/US people lost millions upon millions of jobs because there was no way they could compete with what is essentially dumping.
I use a highly stripped-down version of LTSC for Windows VMs and it still has tons of telemetry. Furthermore, DNS-based blocking is ineffective; it hardcodes fallback IP addresses if it gets an NXDOMAIN for telemetry domains. The only way I've found to permanently kill it is with sniproxy or the like, though I'm sure once they upgrade to TLS 1.3 that will stop working too.
It's the guano story all over again!
I find getting as much tooling as possible that will tell you about types is pretty important with a large code base. For example in the Python code getting type annotations along with mypy up and running tends to be a big win.
Hey at least we have faster thumbs.

I can see how both of the above views are valid, but I also tend to agree with the optimistic one, that it's better to have a lot of information and let the users choose/get manipulated, than not have the option at all.
Surely a lot of it is context, but my anecdotal evidence tells me I don't feel music as much as I used to when I was younger and when I feel something it is rarely with the new stuff.
I don't know if the physics are realistic, but Elite: Dangerous is the closest thing to a space flight simulator. Distance wise it's realistic at least, in that even with FTL speeds going 300x the speed of light you take forever to get to another planet.
Strategies for a Successful Git-Bisect
CO2 emissions are of particular concern right now (and honestly should have been for the past 40 years), so it makes sense that they get a lot of attention. But you're absolutely right that it's not the only kind of pollution, and the others shouldn't be ignored either.

Despite there being 7 billion of us, we seem to struggle with paying attention to more than one problem at a time.
>I could potentially agree with anti capitalist rhetoric if they had a shred of understanding human nature.

Are you familiar with the philosophical dilemmas in determining what "human nature" consists of, and the fact that socialists may simply take a different position in this debate? The Marxist theory of human nature is taken as seriously by sociologists and anthropologists as any other.
Thats my point! Make this part of the kernel regression and also run it on the old kernels.
While I generally agree with you, the concept of people acting as "human safeties" isn't unknown to us Germans - look up "Bahnübergangsposten" or watch any railroad construction site. There will always be one human with a manual horn to alert the crew whenever a train passes by.
There's several sites like that. I've used Supercook
Yes, DCA is technically breaking up large sum; compared to periodic payments:

* https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/periodic-payment-plan.a...

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_cost_averaging#Confusio...

A good number of studies have shown that putting in a lump sum all-at-once gives better results most of the time.

The problem arises when people 'lose their nerve' when they read headlines about the market tanking, or recessions, or whatever. Market timing--trying to get out when things go down, and in again when they're up--is something that many people try to do:

* https://www.investopedia.com/articles/stocks/08/passive-acti...

There are all sorts of articles about "technical indicators" that one can use as a DIY investor to get out during bear markets. Or you can pay other people for their "expertise" by buying their actively managed funds.

The "DCA" comes in where people set aside money to invest, but do not issue a Buy because it's the 'wrong time' to invest: so the cash ends up sitting around, doing nothing much. But the article is arguing that trying to time the market (by buying the dip) is a fool's errand, and simply putting away a little every month into index funds (S&P, Russell) is the best thing most people can do.
Trivially false. Every US President almost always had a <50% approval rating, and is usually the most popular politician.

Unfortunately when dissent is explicitly illegal, opinion polls are scientifically invalid. That's the CCP's choice, not external propaganda.

I don't think it's that ironic.

All of the software written by "Bitwarden" is open source. The fact that it uses some pre-existing propriety software doesn't change that. If it did, then that logic could really be extended to any piece of software written for Windows.

> Its the perception of yourself and your work from the eyes of the group that is at stake here

If your teams have so little trust in each other that you have to do all this preparation for a standup, then there are already much larger issues.
> Now she is thinking of giving up the citizenship she worked so hard to get, and moving back to an authoritarian China where guns and drugs are strictly forbidden – at least her son would be safe.

> To quote a friend, "all 'authoritarian' states (really, all states) distribute their 'authoritarianism' unevenly. that you aren't experiencing any right now doesn't mean it isn't being done, it just means you're not part of the demographic being targeted."

Freedom is also not distributed evenly. The powerful can use freedom as a means to their ends all the while justifying everyone else's failures as their own choice since they had the 'freedom' to achieve the same for themselves. Just my 2 cents.

As a soon to be expat to Singapore, I am in agreement with the first quote. While I can understand the values and culture here, I am also not too fond of unfettered freedom where people think public infrastructure belongs to them rather than as a shared good that everyone has the responsibility to take care of. Furthermore, the immediate reaction to any government involvement as 'socialism/communism' to shut down a discussion is honestly quite tiring and annoying now.

Commercial Aviation is the equivalent of US buses which have a dramatically better safety record. School buses for example are about 70x as safe as driving your kids to school.

The vastly more deadly general aviation compares more closely with the automotive fatality rates. GA has 16 fatal accidents per million hours, that’s horrific.
Net neutrality isn't about impact to personal computer use - it's about incentives to the ecosystem. It's about the viability of businesses like Netflix and new competitors thereto. You shouldn't expect to see an immediate impact, but you should expect to see new companies starting or not starting, existing companies deciding new ventures are viable or not viable, etc.

It's like saying, "We shut down all military recruiting two years ago, has anyone been attacked by an invader?" Not yet, but there's probably been a few conflicts we didn't get involved in that we otherwise would have (which could be good or bad, to be clear!), which can have significant effects on the world in many more years. And in ten years or so there probably will be some people thinking about invading.

Is not capitalism what you mention. It's called Corporatism, the theory and practice of organizing society into "corporations" subordinate to the state. It is also known as prebender companies. Companies that operate thanks to the arrangements they have with the State, without the pressure of the institutions of capitalism: competition, rules, etc. And yes, the people who think "it's capitalism anyways" don't realize this fact.
I have a tablet in my kitchen but I tend to end up with paper because I can easily scrawl notes on it.

Basically, I keep one binder with my go to recipes and then have a mostly disorganized pile of paper. Also keep recipe bookmarks on pinboard and post-its in various cookbooks. Aside from that master binder, it's all pretty disorganized but that tends to be how I work in general :-)

The flight model in Elite is very much tuned for fun rather than accuracy. You can if you wish turn on a kind of newtonian physics flight model, but even then I very much doubt its representative of how actual objects in space would react.
No, the same is true of coal plants. There are modern coal plants that burn much more cleanly than old coal plants.

Not that I want to argue in favour of coal plants; we still need to get rid of them just for the CO2. Same goes for ICEs.
> I read somewhere that you need to get a license even if you use a custom server

I don't think this is the case. There's really no way to use the license with a custom server anyway.
That article explicitly states that CCP tolerates protest against non-CCP actors and issues that don't challenge their authority. The CCP supported the protest, so it was allowed.

And its because written tone is so easily misinterpreted that is important to be careful. It's not just about the intention, its also about the objective end result.

Sure, you might not have intended to run over someone with a car, but that person is still dead. Not everything is about intentions, consequences count too.

Not caring about the tone of what we write is almost as bad as saying something bad on purpose.

For example, at the receiving end the end result is objectively the same, making someone else feel like crap.

ZFS is a somewhat popular filesystem but it's not included in the mainline kernel because of licensing issues. Adding support in the Ubuntu installer just makes things simpler for people who want to install ubuntu to a ZFS filesystem.

If you don't know what ZFS is you're probably better sticking with the default (EXT4).
Cross-referenced with time of day and weather conditions (rainy and foggy in an area where it's typically neither) I would think Google (Waze's parent company) could estimate that the chances for accident-based delays are elevated and recommend a sooner start to a commute. Maybe cross with Facebook's social data (users who were at a bar last night and for how long) combined with known start/end points for commutes and historical times that people make those commutes, the ability to guestimate the chances for an accident could be increased even more. Yes, it's very big-brother but if it saves me 20 minutes to 2 hours waiting in traffic...
This could also be plain bad timing.

There has been some breakthroughs for using aluminum in high voltage applications. That could have had a negative impact on investments.
> The problem is that your "1 Billion" have virtually no reduction in their security, because the government doesn't have a warrant for their data

You are ignoring the inevitable "mission creep" once a backdoor is allowed. Reasons for granting a warrant will become more numerous and more trivial.

You are also ignoring the fact that backdoors will eventually be used by criminals. All it takes is one corrupt, blackmailed or incompetent employee to grant access to someone who shouldn't have it and the security of everyone's data is gone.
I don't think it can be an argument for offensive weapons. It's the opposite for offensive weapons. As the government can always have better and more of offensive weapons and letting people have them would just be an excuse to use them against people, make people fear the government, etc.

Nothing is perfect - how are we going to negotiate the survival of our species?

Socialism has always meant, "worker ownership of the means of production." How well does that single thought harmonize with Anti-Democratic, Repressive Authoritarianism featuring State-directed-Economies?

Just because your masters, and the masters across the sea agreed on deceiptive nomenclature does not make such a thing real. You'll find Smith and Marx synergized at your local co-op. But that alone wont save our world.

As for the ownership dispute - markets have existed long before we, as a world, decided to make them into a God. No market has ever existed without either regulation or complete collapse. Imagine - humans for sale, politicians for sale, entire governments for sale. Unless you know for certain (Lolololol!) where you'll land in that world, do you really want to live in it? Without even a State to standardize your currency, the whole thing collapses before it gets off the ground.

But hey, Cuba is doing well. They've got vaccines for four distinct cancers, universal literacy that makes the US look like the poor satellite by comparison,... and internet connections where an hour's use demands a full day's pay for most workers.

Let me reiterate - Nothing is perfect. How are we going to negotiate the survival of our species? If Josef Stalin himself has a workable plan, screw it - I'll work for Tankie-Satan while ya boy Elon "works" over twitter for 96 hours a week.
