That's a hard question because it involves the laws of several different countries. There probably isn't a single answer.

Part of it likely relates to indirection. Hosting illegal content, vs linking to illegal content, vs redirecting to a site that links to illegal content are all increasing levels of indirection.

A country may wish to take down illegally hosted content, but not want to take down indirect links.
I make back the cost of the membership fee just by the savings on a couple of car rentals. Their rates are cheaper and they have free cancellation and no extra driver fee for your spouse.
Except that the order usually goes like this:

1. You can't take away personal car access; the public transportation sucks! Make it better, first.

2. You can't improve public transportation; everybody drives so it's not a good cost investment. Get more people to ride transit, first.

3. Goto 1
This (HN news/Github project) title is awkward. Apparently, it's all about a new Operating System. However, I don't read much about kernels or shells but instead about assembler and particular features (?) such as "Track side effects in assembly language".

Somehow the project lacks a short README or Abstract or list of goals. It's hard to get an overview without spending much time studying.
I’d imagine the high average per item cost has the same filtering effect.

That isn't what's really being ruled on here, though. Republishing the data is still restricted via copyright, but the data may exist in an internal database that SiteB uses to do X.

The question at hand is whether or not SiteB (or more appropriately CompanyB) is able to automatically download the content on SiteA or have to make an intern manually copy and paste the data into a spreadsheet.

Cities are rebuilt all the time. My city now invest heavily into bike lanes reducing the number of car lanes from 2 to 1 and replacing them by bike lanes. That is a choice, which can be made every year by any city.

You mean maybe for your LinkedIn general profile info to be public, but not for the old profile data or the metadata of when your changed what to be public. It's not per se secret or hidden but it's also not intended to be kept and processed.

This is also a clear case where GDPR would come in. This is personal data, whether intentional or not, and the scraper is obliged to conform to EU laws if they scrape data on EU citizens - including eg information rights and deletion.
Struggling with coding tests, is this typical experience?
As a rule, FP is great for separating concerns in independent code. So you can have a great data-access layer, and a completely abstract data layer that doesn't care about the access layer at all. OOP systems nominally do that separation too, but FP usually makes those layers clearer and more independent.

A reduction in total complexity is another, completely unrelated thing. I honestly do not see accidental complexity on your description. Any system will have to deal with all that stuff, OOP and FP will just do it in different parts of the code.
I don't understand why "cabs" is an allowed exception here.

Cabs are like cars, except more expensive, and they drive around without anyone using them for transport looking for business. Why are they superior?

I'm picking on this example not because I think that list is meant to be complete or perfectly thought out, but because cabs often seem to get exceptions like this (e.g. in HOV lanes) and I really don't understand why. It basically seems like a "I'm rich enough to pay someone to do my driving for me" exception.

You're right in principle, but the point here is about the reasons for rejecting a casual model. The issue people seeking fairness in statistics run into is rejecting models based on what ought to be, instead of what is. A casual model can be totally unfair, and yet also correct (insofar an approximation is considered correct).

Taking the example from our parallel discussion, if the data says being male is correlated with risky driving, and it seems to fit the casual model of "male -> risky", it would be wrong to reject it just on the grounds of "we're using this model to set insurance rates, so by penalizing males, the model is sexist". It may be that you can come up with a better casual model explaining the correlation - say, cultural history and path dependence - but until you can, rejecting a fitting model based on "it's unfair, reality ought not to be so" is just wrong.
Even now Obama is still bragging about making America “energy independent.”
I've found car rentals for way cheaper than Costco directly on the car rental website. The prices are changed constantly, so check the car rental company's website a day before or even a few hours before you need it, and you might find it for much cheaper.
I agree with almost everything you say. A few points of contention- most are from what I perceive to be a lack of cultural context.

In the Musk video, when he says he's returned from Mars, that was a self depreciating joke on the account of his facial features, which the Chinese media had called him a Martian in the past. He has sorta just owned it since.

I wish they works ban cars on the Las Vegas strip. It would require rerouting hotel entrances. But the amount of real estate it would free up would be incredible.
Manhattan is a dense enough place that transportation is focused on moving people, and it just so happens that single-occupant vehicles is the least space-efficient way to move people. It's not anti-car, it's just a recognition that single-occupant vehicles ought to be at the bottom of the totem pole in terms of contesting for the scarce space allocated for transportation.
> Costco is in a league of their own in Canada

They sell cheese at almost-US prices! It's insane!
This sounds like BS unless you have numbers. Shopping at Costco is like riding the NYC subway - it's a cross section of society from all income levels.

Costco saves people hundreds to thousands of dollars a year both in time and price. Shopping there isn't exactly a luxury experience.

I'd guess the fact you need to enter with a photo ID and they keep records on everyone entering/leaving with their names and addresses attached is a much bigger factor at loss prevention.
What's the aim ?
I don't mean to be one of those "but, well" people, but, well, in my experience it hasn't been. I've not had a car for quite some time and still carry luggage and groceries. The added fitness from walking more has probably helped quite a bit.

It is a very common sight to see people in my neighborhood get on a bus with one of those square rolling carts with a week's (or more) worth of groceries. I've considered doing the same thing but between my spouse and I, we can fit everything we want in our two backpacks and two to three reusable handle bags.

Lots of how we run society is for the collective good. Strangely, transportation seems to be the opposite. We subsidize the hell out of individual transport while minimizing collective, more efficient transport. What most of us who advocate for public / group transport want is for those to be more even.
Great. I disabled safe browsing probably back when it first appeared on my iPhone 3G or 4 and this test confirms I’m still not sending urls to anyone whilst surfing on my iPhone 11. Nice job preserving these settings over countless device upgrades.
Then don't make the data public. You can't have the cake and eat it too. Scraping is irrelevant here - a human can just as well take your picture from your LinkedIn page and include it in their face-recognition DB.
Even when I briefly worked in London in the 90s there was no point having the car. I am truly puzzled so many locals bothered. Uber or cab should only need to be occasional - there is great, albeit crowded public transport.

It was entirely counter-productive, slower than cycling, expensive and just about zero chance of convenient parking. After one or two attempts, I left it at home and took the train down each week.
> Yes, we were adding TypeScript code, but we were adding CoffeeScript at a faster rate.

Unsurprisingly.

> how do we get our coworkers to buy in to this new paradigm?

By forcing them?

Oh yes what a joy!

> our data access layer (“ORM”) is ubiquitous, and most files use it in some way.

Use SQL instead, it's better.

> We also made tooling and configuration a priority.

Of course, there's no way to go down the TS rabbit hole without it!

The code soup that's generated with the 'airbnb' setting, I know it's a terrible read.

> When we began analyzing TypeScript adoption patterns, it became clear that using TypeScript wasn’t a seamless process for our engineers, who would often need to import special utilities (ts-node/register) or create intermediate CoffeeScript files that did nothing but import their TypeScript equivalents.

How productive!

> We avoided using any in this phase, instead opting for the stricter unknown.

Yes, the dream of type safety ends with using 'any' or 'unknown'. But are you sure only in this phase? I've never seen a TS codebase without it!

> Tackling a migration like this means asking your teammates to give up a way of doing their jobs that they’re comfortable and effective with

So tell me, no one left because they didn't like to have the joy sucked out of their lives?

> To do this we created a #typescript channel in Slack, and made sure developers getting stuck could get unblocked.

Another great addition to the workflow. But you mean 'stuck' like you cannot continue building because of TS? I only hear from TS proponents that it improves productivity?

> From the beginning, we knew that bulk, overnight migration was not a possibility, and that it would likely take a year or more to complete the process.

Ok, so more than a year with the entire team to kill a few type related bugs? How did you have to lie to get this agreed upon by the CEO?

> As we continue with this migration, we hope to keep learning, and to use this knowledge to make the next big project even easier.

Yes, keep learning because soon TS will be exit with the upcoming WebAssembly and you can start all over again in another hyped language or framework.

But for the record, instead of fixing a few type errors a once in a while and create proper tests for it, you went rewriting the entire app and fucking up your entire dev team that were happy with Coffeescript? I'm also really curious how much this entire operation has cost the company, and what the actual benefits are? Is it that the dev now can hover with his mouse over a variable see the related type? Or is the app really looking and working much better now? Always when I worked on a TS project the benefits were mostly imaginary and the pain real. Unfortunately there are way too many inexperienced web developers that think they look incredibly smart doing TS.. Vanity is a thing. Doing a dynamically typed language is for the poor minds that don't understand type safety, not? You are all way smarter than Brendan Eich I guess.

Any data on that? Here around Oslo, there is quite a bit of opposition to banning cars from the city - but mostly from people living outside of it. People who live in the city, and who should have the most say, seems to like it. The green party grew in the recent election.

Data has shown that businesses are doing well. Some do better, some the same, some worse (like furniture stores, which is a silly thing to have in a city centre anyway).

There's certainly a growing preference for car-free cities. Seems to me like younger people prefer it. Not just because they don't have cars.. I do now, but I really don't like to use it in the city. My wife and I take it to the closest metro station with free parking, and take the metro the rest of the way. Much less stressful.

Seems to me like it is mostly old people who are opposed to banning cars. When they were young, the cities were not as dense, cars not as prevalent, and people didn't care as much about air pollution. They could drive straight into the city centre and park wherever. They don't want to give up on that, even if it means being stuck in traffic and driving around the city centre for half an hour to find a free parking spot. It's an inconvenience they've gotten used to. But the inconveniences of public transportation? Unbearable!

I don't understand the WeWork business model. Landlords are all around you. Companies sometimes prefer to own a property rather than lease because over the time, you only lose money renting. Explain pls, how is WeWork different than all the other commercial landlords?
I'm willing to live moderately close. I don't really want to be in the shade of a cooling tower; I wouldn't want to be next door to a coal-fired power plant or a gas turbine, either, or even really a wind farm.

But if you want to put it in an industrial area a few blocks away, sure, I'm good with it. I'm not sure we have a great source of cooling water here, though, except up in the hills which is really not a wonderful siting for a nuclear plant.

> No end-user in their right mind publishes data on LinkedIn with the expectation that the information is bought up by a third party, analysed, and then sold back to your employer in a way that exposes your personal intent and may even threaten your job.

Yes they do. Do you think people who are afraid of their employer finding out about something would show it on their public LinkedIn profile in the first place? If a manager or colleague who they've likely already "connected" with simply opens your LinkedIn profile in their web browser and sees the same info that hiQ sees, then it's game over. If you don't want your employer to know, don't publish it on your public profile. It's absurd to suggest that some minimal manual effort to load a few profiles is a serious privacy defense.
Low income families won't pay anything extra to shop at stores like Costco, BJ's, etc, nevermind $60, which seems high. I imagine they can't afford to buy in bulk, to begin with.
From the article:

> And here’s a little story. I grew up within a few miles of Britain’s first, and largest, nuclear power plant.
Speaking of precision. I think a big problem with modern use of English is that it has reduced precision.

What reduces precision?

1. Increased reliance on idioms to communicate. Idioms use analogies, and usually reduce precision. Our increasingly shared cultural context via the Internet means that more and more idioms are entering common use and (IMO) reducing the clarity of communication.

2. Reduced general vocabulary. We have more jargon than ever before, but regular writing is simpler than ever. Generally speaking, a reduced vocabulary means more concepts are "mapped" onto the same words (like "great," a highly over-mapped word.)

3. Irony and sarcasm are abused as argumentation tools. Mocking a point is commonly accepted as arguing against it. I believe this stems from acceptance of irony as a normal way of communicating (as opposed to using it mainly for humor). This also results in many words having two opposite meanings, a "true" one and an ironic one. (ofc this happened in the past too, see history of the word "egregious.")

4. Ease of publishing. People put less effort into writing today because the barriers are lower. Yes, there are still authors who put a lot of thought into their work, but the Internet is awash in poorly-chosen words and ill-thought-out language that frankly didn't exist in the past. Poor language has poor meaning, and this actually damages the trust people have with the written word.

Of course, this is just my personal thoughts... I don't have strong problems with modern language. I think your question about "inferior" is a good one because superior vs. inferior doesn't make sense without metrics for comparison. If the metric is personal appreciation, then superior vs inferior is just subjective. If the metric is density of information transfer, I suspect we've improved.

The Costco shopping experience is atrocious. Huge lines, people running over you with giant carts, completely unmarked aisles and you have to run around trying to find an employee to ask where something is. And then there is the checkout gauntlet where a funnel of grumpy people has receipts checked by just one or two checkers.

The low prices and in some cases availability of certain products is the only reason I go.

I have had absolutely no problem lugging my luggage to the airport or carrying my groceries on foot or by mixed foot/train/bus. It might require some modifications to your trip (e.g., going more frequently, or purchasing some personal shopping carts to carry stuff around in), but it's not that hard.
You linked to the OpenCog linkparser. Just out of curiosity, what are you using it for?

I used to also keep a beefy EC2 or GCP instance all set up with Jupyter, custom kernels (Common Lisp, etc.), etc., etc. Being able to start and stop them quickly made it really cost effective.

I ended up, though, getting a System76 GPU laptop a year ago and it is so nice to be able to experiment more quickly, especially noticable improvement for quick experiments.

That said, a custom EC2 or GCP instance all set up, and easily start/stop-able is probably the cost effective thing to do unless just vanilla colab environments do it for you.

Also FWIW, oil prices did skyrocket in 2000s.
