> and the browser is not here to let you "steal" every content while absolutely ignoring the conditions.

Beyond the point that publisher is in no position to put conditions here and the usual use of modifying the copy buffer is abusive (injecting links), it would only be anywhere in the neighbourhood of looking like "theft" (I think you meant "plagiarism") if the user pasted it into a work they later publish and profit off in their own name. Copy-pasting snippets into IMs or discussion boards is not "theft", it's quoting. Copy-pasting whole articles to save them is not theft, it's basic personal-use archiving (something I do too, due to ephemerality web content). Copy-pasting entire articles into translation services isn't theft, it's just what people do. Etc.
I agree it's a somewhat moot point, which didn't really click with me, either, as the argument assumes that these anti-ICE protests are carried out by non-engineers, which given the latest Chef and GitHub stories, isn't necessarily the case at all.

Also, even in case of a spin-off, I don't really understand why would Jeff Bezos get out of the picture, either — wouldn't he remain the primary shareholder?

Pretty much all of the arguments in the whole article are both invalid and unsound.
How come there is no TypeScript support, but in the official GitHub repo (https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte) they state:

"The compiler is written in TypeScript, but don't let that put you off — it's basically just JavaScript with type annotations."
Interesting idea. I just suscribed to a manufacturer all-inclusive monthly plan which includes insurance, registration, the right to swap cars and unlimited miles. It is by no means cheap, but having month to month flexibility as well as no lump sum of cash down like a lease or purchase was a great option for me.

These prices seem insanely high though, maybe it's just I live in the south but... $65 a day for a Ford Explorer? I have a luxury German car and pay $34 a day, which again is not cheap.

I'll probably only end up doing my manufacture plan a couple of months, as honestly I don't drive that much. Spending $300-400 a month in Uber is actually eaiser and significantly less money.
NAT destroys the end-to-end principle and encourages things like CGNAT, which make side-stepping centralized services impossible. I really hope IPv6 starts becoming commonplace and that the outcome isn't that CGNAT becomes the norm for residential Internet connections.

They are incredibly convenient if you use multiple apple devices. You can change from your iPhone to Mac/iPad and watch almost seemingly. with traditional Bluetooth headphones it’s always a hassle to change devices. I either have to press buttons on the headphones and it doesn’t work well with more then two devices or I have to disconnect them manually from my device and open Bluetooth on the other. Connecting to a different device takes usually less then 10 secs with AirPods/Beats, which is super nice.

That being said, if you don’t use Apple products (or only one apple product), they are not really more convenient then any other headphones.
Have you ever needed to be on a phone call while doing something else with your hands? Running with music and not having cords whip around your neck is pretty nice too.
Russia is our enemy and wants to destroy us.

This may have been true decades ago when a different polity existed there and conditions in general were quite different. I see no evidence that this is true today. Occasionally Russian politicians might rattle the saber, but that's mostly for domestic political reasons, like it is in every other nation on Earth including USA. Just as USA society is not a monolith, neither is Russia society. Russian military interests are specific to particular nations like Ukraine and Syria where they also have economic interests. The main thing they want from USA is something they have in common with a number or other nations: please stop the sanctions and related economic aggression.

I'm sure anyone here could come up with a variety of USA war media articles or presentations criticizing the conduct of the Russian state in one way or another. In every such article I've read, Russia is held to a standard that USA hasn't met since the start of the Philippine-American War at the latest, and in some cases since the Pilgrims landed. I'd like to think that such articles insult their readers' intelligence.
I remember a succession game of Rule the Waves 2 on a forum, with each successive player trashing the designs of their predecessor before designing their own class of ships, especially for the destroyers, until all ships were from dozens of different class with different performance and armements.

Rule the Waves 2 covers a wider time period, since you can go until ~1950, with aircraft carriers, radars, ground-based planes and submarines.

The author also didn't touch the spying that can be done on other nations, which will then increase tension and bring new tech and information, and the military treaties, which will force allied nation to go to war together.

The only place a satellite can 'hover' is directly above the equator in a geostationary orbit. Anywhere else and the best you can do is a highly eccentric orbit with a high inclination so you get lots of "hang time" over the target area, but that also means being very high up. From what I understand the X-37b was tracked by amateur astronomers to have a reasonably high inclination this time around, but an almost circular orbit.

Traditional spy satellites have very high inclinations because this lets gives them coverage of more of the planet (as the planet rotates beneath them.) The X-37 has thusfar to my knowledge not flown at a severely high inclination, from what I understand the most recent launch was somewhere around 54 degrees, and previous flights were lower. For reference the ISS is around 52 degrees.

The figures are all imprecise and the X-37b supposedly has the delta-v budget for relatively dramatic inclination changes, but even so 54 degrees is very far away from where earth-observing spy satellites traditionally are.

> its possible it just grabs them and forces them to fall out of orbit. That's easier and quite effective.

Honestly that seems neither easy, effective, nor subtle. To grab and deorbit something like that you'd need to grab it in such a way that let you thrust through it's center of mass which doesn't seem easy to do for a few reasons (not least because the distribution of mass inside the target satellite may not be known.) And since spy satellites can be massive, you'd need to burn a lot of fuel to do it. It's conceivable they're doing something a bit trickier, like slapping a time delayed ion thruster onto the side of victim satellites which would then slowly deorbit the target after the X-37 is long gone, but I'd still wager on the victim figuring out what was going on. Such anomalous thrust is something that would be noticed.

I'm not advocating for tether. But it is not a ponzi scheme. And I think that most of the users understand what tether is - they are not excepting returns, they also understand that it is unregulated vehicle where the backing can disappear any time if the issuers get into trouble. I would guess biggest use-case is moving fiat between exchanges without having compliance issues, which you would have with banks.

But then again I didn't shop around the other brands at all.
> It silently transforms an O(1) space algorithm into an O(n) space one, and adds an enormous constant time overhead.

It doesn't silently transform O(1) to O(n), the code is explicitly O(n^2) space worst-case. The only 'silent' transformation that could happen here is an optimization to improve performance. Also, I don't know where you got the 'enormous constant time overhead' part.

> Algorithms that are optimal under the mutable data assumption are different than algorithms that are optimal under the constant data assumption.

A normal programmer wouldn't be defining writing their own sort functions. A normal Haskell programmer would understand mutability in Haskell.

> Performant programming in Haskell requires a much more intimate understanding of the underlying architecture than performant programming in, for instance, C++.

It really depends on what you're writing and how much performance you actually need. Implementing a moderate-complexity parallel data processing algorithm in Haskell may result in a slightly slower but much simpler implementation than C++. An implementation of the same complexity in C++ may be slower than Haskell. Writing performant, parallel, safe code for a moderately complex algorithm in C++ is far from easy.
> All the code is in one file (sqlite.c), and there are no weird dependencies! It’s amazing.

This is because the author of SQLite publishes it this way as a convenience to integrators; the actual day-to-day coding is not done in a single C file.

In fact, the README[1] calls out twelve "key files", and explicitly warns that SQLite "will not be the easiest library in the world to hack."

I walked to school everyday in middle school and so did everyone in the neighborhood. There wasn’t even a bus that would come and get us. My parents still live next door to the same school and everyday lots of kids walk. Some have a bus option but refuse it.

Every morning I go by an elementary school and parents walk their kids. They even put a special cross walk with a button to make it easier.

Sounds like an issue with your school or school system.

Dr. Lowe's Things I Won’t Work With is on the top 10 best blogs out there. What an utter joy! His writing style is a breath of fresh air for the sleepy journal-club style articles. He is funny, informative, and interesting. A great addition to the world of science advocates. I love his blog. Some favs:

Can’t Stop the Nitro Groups :"... this new paper’s introduction includes the phrase “In our continuing efforts to introduce as many nitro groups associated with a tetrazole ring as possible. . .” and to most organic chemists that’s roughly equivalent to saying something like “In our continuing efforts to spray as much graffiti on the snouts of salt-water crocodiles as possible. . .”[0]

Sand Won't Save You This Time: "It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively."[1]

Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane: "Hexanitro? Say what? I’d call for all the chemists who’ve ever worked with a hexanitro compound to raise their hands, but that might be assuming too much about the limb-to-chemist ratio." [2]

There is no patent protection on regular insulin, so it's some kind of ordinary monopoly problem, it appears.

I suspect a better set of regulations around generics would solve the problem with ordinary market forces. Probably there are quite a few policies that protect the existing drug companies that don't make any sense for generics.
I'm going to get downvoted more. But honestly, I feel we are living in parallel worlds here.

> Distant relationship, surely. She was negotiating a hard Brexit rather than the soft one

No, Junker asked her if she wanted a FTA. She declined and wanted a closer relationship with frictionless trade. So she got the deal she wanted. The UK in the customs union.

> Her mistake was pushing for an unreasonably hard Brexit which lead to all sorts of problems, including the Irish border.

No being in the customs union means the UK has regulatory alignment with the EU. Frictionless trade. It's called BINO. Brexit in name only. It's a soft exit.

She couldn't get it through parliament due to the ERG in the conservatives wanting a much harder brexit and labour saying it did not do enough to be more aligned with the EU.

I'm going to ask a serious question. Have you actually read the withdrawal treaty? Because it's BINO. It's not a hard brexit.

Do you even know what a hard brexit is? Let me explain it to you.

- Own immigration policy. No free movement.

- Able to set own taxes. Corporate Tax, Income Tax, VAT, etc.

- Able to set own foreign policy, full control of army.

- Full control of local fishing waters. Only British fishermen allowed to fish.

- Able to set own regulations for businesses and for manufacturing goods and services.

- Outside of the ECJ. UK law > EU law.

- Great Britain and NI outside of the EU, together. The UK will not be putting up a hard border. Who knows (and cares) what the EU will do.

Let me explain Boris's Deal.

- Own immigration policy. No free movement.

- Regulatory alignment with EU. We have to set our taxes the same as theirs.

- In the transition period. The UK cannot veto anything the EU does and the UK cannot act in such a manner that the EU does not like. After the transition period, some fear that Britain will join the EU army.

- Whilst UK fisherman now have access to UK waters. EU fisherman will STILL be able to fish there.

- Regulatory alignment with EU. We have to set our regulations the same as theirs.

- Probably still under the jurisdiction the ECJ.

- NI inside the EU still. A border in the Irish sea. Although the NI assembly have the right to change this every 4 years. But they have not sat for many years, who knows if this will ever get changed. Regardless the DUP are not happy.

Now that I have outlined both scenarios. Do you still think that May/Boris were wanting a hard brexit?

Finally, why does the EU want the UK to ratify this terrible deal and why the EU does not want a hard brexit?

> [...] Furthermore, mutations happen on the level of DNA, not on the level of either organelles or organs.

This is all besides the point. Mitochondria are just an easy example because of the marked difference in mutation rate, and my loosely worded bit about fingers evolving should obviously be taken as "some parts of the genome associated with the development of fingers."

> Apart from that, mutation rate is (not quite, but more or less) uniform across the whole genome (the exceptions, due to e.g. GC bias, are not relevant here).

Not my field, but I'm pretty sure you're incorrect. Here's a citation:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11057667?dopt=Abstract

>> A few patterns have been found: proteins involved in antagonistic co-evolution (for example, immune genes, parasite antigens and reproductive conflict genes) tend to be rapidly evolving, and there is a correlation between the rate of protein evolution and the mutation rate of the gene. Here we report a new highly statistically significant predictor of a protein's rate of evolution, and show that linked genes have similar rates of protein evolution.

>This is virtually certainly not the case, because of what I’ve just described. Selection is sufficient to describe the outcome, and there is no evidence whatsoever to point to the mechanism you postulate.

This is virtually certainly not the case, because of what I've just cited.

> Evolutionary mutation rate is governed by effective population size and generation time.

I'm not arguing that these aren't factors, but we do have good reason to believe that the rate of change for some subsets of the genome can itself change.

Here's another source:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10469563?dopt=Abstract

>> Our results provide the first substantial statistical evidence for the existence of a regional variation in the synonymous substitution rate within the mammalian genome, indicating that different chromosomal regions evolve at different rates. This regional phenomenon which shapes gene evolution could reflect the existence of 'evolutionary rate units' along the chromosome.

A car can be sold as "new" as long as the warranty in service date has not yet been activated. Dealers use "new" cars as demos, for test drives, and intra-dealer transfers and deliveries.

If you ever go to buy a new car and it has more than 20 miles on the odometer, you should verify the warranty in service date before buying. If it has been activated, you should be getting a price that makes the transaction financially worthwhile.
