> biking less frequently than other cultures

Huh, I missed that in the title.

My first guess was that their other public transit was good enough that not much biking was needed, which isn't far off the mark.
In San Francisco there's a good chance your destination will not have a safe, designated place for biking. That increases the chances of it getting stolen by quite a bit.
That is not the case, at least in most occidental jurisdictions. See for example the recent linkedin case:
https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/10/20859399/linkedin-hiq-dat...

And the CFAA is a peculiarly poor bit of legislation, even by US standards, nothing like it applies in the EU.

There is no basis to say these actions, or using a different DNS, is criminal. At worst a contract dispute.

limited liability

The correct solution, then, is to eliminate this "limited liability" concept. Public ownership is probably the one thing that would make an outfit like PG&E even more of a mess than it already is.
There are already lots of people investigating this independently and a lot of information has been uncovered. I can recommend a podcast that has really good research and is also a very entertaining listen:

Plenty of crackpot theories abound of course, but the hosts here try to piece things together that are based in fact to get a more plausible understanding of the course of events.

They wouldn't have those issues... if they released the source. Like they agreed they would.
I’m finding that one of the biggest time sinks is code that looks like it’s doing something other than what it’s actually doing.

Code smells draw the eye when debugging. Your brain wants the problem to be in the code that’s clearly “wrong”. So smelly code anywhere near common code paths has a huge cost compared to smelly code in some leaf function in an obscure feature.

One of the wisdoms of XP, I think. The code you touch the most should be the sanest.
I believe the OP is talking about Spain in general when she/he writes "Freedom of expression has not being limited in Spain in any way or form, not at all.", wouldn't you agree?
This is not an either/or problem. Obviously, you need many pieces of the puzzle to come together to get the kind of results the Dutch have.

But this piece highlights an oft overlooked piece of the puzzle and it's a critical element. You can willy nilly add all the bike racks and other infrastructure you want, it's not going to result in people flooding out onto the streets on their bikes if there's nothing within a reasonable distance. American policies actively make it outright illegal to build the kind of dense urban fabric crucial to the Dutch success with fostering bike culture.

> wrote Letter from Birmingham Jail

And it's a great letter. Of interest, it's extremely similar to Civil Disobedience which is a letter Thoreau wrote from jail, and of which King possessed a copy of at the time he wrote his own letter. Related, Gandi carried a copy of Civil Disobedience with him at all times. Thoreau's rejection of US taxing authority was far more influential than most realize, leading to cascading revolutions throughout the 20th century.
We're building a tech recruitment platform at Toughbyte and I'm based in Finland, where we've filled around a hundred developer positions so far.

In my experience Finnish is not required for jobs at 95%+ of product companies, only consultancies and even there there are exceptions.

You can check out our current positions in Finland here: https://www.toughbyte.com/developers#positions - perhaps there's something you might be interested in and if not, you can can also leave your email via the Get in touch button and we'll get back to you the moment there is.

Another reason why SF declared no confidence in the TJPA is that they somehow managed to accrue liability for the Millennium Tower (a.k.a. the Leaning Tower of SOMA) even though that disaster was clearly caused by the property developer’s cutting corners on the foundation.
No idea. IANAL

I use both,and i find that both setups have their advantages depending on the intended use, i use an ultrawide in my home studio for music production and video editing, this is great because i can see a long horizontal timeline. At work instead i use 2x24in to view datasheets and schematics side by side.
Personally, I think some rich people will likely go the solar+batteries route just because it requires less work overall after it is installed or provides peace of mind. Maintaining and refueling a generator isn't hard, but it is still one more thing to worry about. If the outages go on long enough, I predict the cost of solar+batteries will come down because enough rich people buy them and more and more people will be able to afford them.
I’m sorry but you and many other posters are missing two key and obvious things.

1. The single cheapest and quickest way to make a difference is to - en-masse - moderate our behaviours. But guess what? People are so wedded to their monster-truck-driving, plastic-consumable-disposing, distance-product-shipping, holiday-air-travelling lifestyles that they won’t (on the whole) bear even the slightest personal “burden”. The relatively moderate costs associated with behaviour-modifying policies (eg a carbon price), are vehemently and successfully opposed (or neutered) by governments all over the world. And the reason they are free to do so is because there’s no political cost to doing so. Given all that, why on earth would anyone think it’s going to be politically acceptable to fund even costlier and potentially fraught geo-engineering responses?

2. Shades will do nothing at all for the ongoing acidification of the oceans and the consequent marine species destruction.
I have a PhD in physics. Even though I have left the field, I’ve hung around with enough of them, and occasionally tried to raise some more philosophical questions with them.

Sabine is unfortunately spot on.
Strange, I know several in Sweden who receive social money from the state and can live a decent life and they haven't worked a single hour in their life. How is that possible if "you only get what you put in"? Unemployment is different of course, but that is capped at a very low level so in most cases it is essentially fixed unless you have a private employment insurance.
This is the same kind of reasoning that has companies pulling the 'Not Available for Legal Reasons' nonsense and self-censoring their websites in the EU.

They wouldn't be having these issues if they just did the right thing to begin with for all of their users.

Are you really sympathizing with companies on this one? It's not like how the GPL works is a mystery. If you use the code, you release the source. It's not fucking rocket science.

And even if it was, Elon's companies have some experience with rocket science.

The difference between physical engineering and computing is that their world is unknown, while ours is known.

Both of these subject to individual exceptions, but broadly true.

You can't request a steel or wood beam and then say "Here are its exact properties".

You can instatiate a class of MyFooType and say "Here are its exact properties".

In that sense, physical engineering is essentially a Bayesian approach, where reality is always unknown. But with high probability greater than some number of deviations from the mean.

Affordable housing => When people who live in the city are able to afford it.

In that sense SF or Mountain View are fairly affordable to most people who live there. It is unaffordable to students or starbucks barista but that is a different problem altogether.

Regions offer different opportunities and quality of living and cost of living are highly correlated. I am happy to move from Mumbai to Mountain View despite it being expensive. But why would I move to Oulu or Oslo ? No mater how cool you think Oulu will not come even close to Sunnyvale or Mountain View in terms of value it will generate while maintaining those "cheap housing".

There are trade offs and different cities have settled for different things. You can't have both except in case of Bay area where so much land is under conservation. Building more housign there would literally solve the housing crisis overnight.
>Next, let’s consider Mars. Mars is the underlying design case for the Starship, although Starships that go to Mars will probably be of a customized nature. While the Moon takes about 3 days to get to, Mars takes 4-10 months. Launch windows to Mars only open every 2 years, so even if Elon has 1000 Starships ready to go, they can only go every 2 years.

and here i think Musk genius of targeting Mars instead of Moon shows again. Moon business case wouldn't support, while Mars does support the nuclear powered ships. The Starship is of the size to allow sufficient shielding for propulsion reactor. To avoid the "once in 2 years launch window" limitation an additional 3km/s delta-V is needed, and nuclear will get you that and would speed-up the flight in the standard window. Cutting some time from 3 days for Moon isn't really worth the nuclear hassle, cutting half from months long jorneys to Mars and ability to launch practically anytime - that changes everything for Mars. Stacking several Starships - lower ones with reactors, the upper - with people, one can decrease the amount/weight for the shielding. Going ionic thrust propulsion powered by the reactors one can get even faster. All this tech - nuclear propulsion and ionic thrust - had been tried already, so i think it is no less doable for SpaceX than the Raptor with its hot oxygen resistant superallow.
that wasn't my case either :)

Starship still needs to fire rockets in order to land. I would say it's a crazier idea than the ones you have mentioned. The previous solutions you have listed were used precisely because they were less crazy ideas.

Then fine, don't use Linux.

What is the point of the GPL if companies aren't going to respect it? Personally, I was about to comment that this letter seems way too charitable.

If Tesla was using a closed source OS like Windows, and wasn't following the terms of that license agreement, do you think Microsoft would write a letter to Tesla owners politely asking them to get involved in the conversation, or do you think Microsoft would bust out some lawyers and tell Tesla in no uncertain terms exactly what was going to happen if they didn't immediately get their act together?

If anything, an article like this makes me more likely to use GPL code, because apparently I can deliberately violate the legal terms for years and get off by just ignoring a few cordially written letters. I guess it was foolish for me to be so worried about its viral nature, since that part appears to be optional.
The article just said they offered $5k total to go toward the deductible and temporary housing. It says nothing about how much that actually cost, which was surely more. That wouldn't even cover fairly modest housing for a family during the time it'd take to tear down, clear the lot, and rebuild. The homeowner claims he's out $400k total for various reasons, beyond what insurance covered. Even if he was underinsured (likely), sure, that's on him, but the police did choose to do an absurd amount of damage to the house with all their fancy toys rather than just shutting off utilities and waiting. It's not like the guy took hostages, and there's no indication they even thought he had. For attacking the house to make sense in such a time-insensitive situation they must have thought they had a pretty solid perimeter set up. They chose to wreck the house.

They don't care about health AT ALL. In fact, they government leaders and politicians would prefer people die a slow agonizing death so they can collect $0.0003 per cigarette smoked that caused it.

The fork/exec approach to process launch is a kludge from early PDP-11 UNIX. It's done that way because it had to work when you didn't have enough memory for both program images. Fork originally worked by swapping the process out to disk, then updating the process table so that the in-memory copy and the swapped out copy became separate processes. Most of the troublesome semantics of "fork" come from that history.
I’ve ratcheted this up a notch with jr devs.

When are you having fun reading someone else’s code? You’re usually there trying to solve a problem. Your plans for the day have gotten away from you. You may even be having a Bad Day. And this is at least doubly true for failing tests.

> "Sure, my house is valuable now, but if I could also walk to a grocery store, a barbershop, a coffee shop, an electronics store, a beer pub, a few restaurants, and a few other kinds of stores, AND get on public transportation that would take me to local hubs and office spaces -- surely my house would drop value like crazy then!".

In many cities, the logic of opposing transit is pretty explicitly racist. In Atlanta, I would hear MARTA derided as being only for black people, and in Baltimore's suburbs in 2018 there was a stink from suburbanites who live on the light rail route complaining that the train was "bringing in crime".

The city of Groningen had a great idea in the 70s.

They wanted less car traffic in the inner city. So now there is a ring road around it, and the center itself is divided into four parts, with one-way streets laid out so that if you want to go from one part to another, you have to go to the ring road. Cars can't travel through the center, they have to go around it. In the center you only get cars that have that as their destination.

But, all these one-way streets are marked "except for bicycles". None of the above applies to bicycles.

So for even quite long trips, say from the north of the city to the south, bicycles beat cars because they can just go straight through the center and cars have to take the long way around.
I think the question is rather if Tesla is allowed to provide source for current version you have (therefore complying with the GPL), but also refuse to ship any further updates to you as well.

As you'd no longer receive the new binaries, you'd also no longer be entitled to the new sources per the GPL. This would leave Tesla with a large deterrent against people asking for sources.
Oh yea?

Although the author is knowledgeable, I too find it incredibly frustrating to read his writing. An opposing viewpoint is fine but the sheer amount of bias, outrageism (note the number of times he mentiones how "sickened" he was during his research), and condemnation made it impossible for me to read any further than the first post.
“Knowledge is power. France is bacon” is a personal favorite.
This example is wrong, it should print "after fork" twice as both processes would run that.
Where I live the areas closer to downtown are still zoned mixed-use. The houses are mostly offices for lawyers, therapists, etc. or are some sort of boarding house/apartment situation which has driven rents/property prices beyond what a family can afford, especially for smaller, older houses. I think most people would like to live in such an area, which is why most can't afford it.

This is (part of) the reason people spend hours debating seemingly mundane aspects of rules & regs, legislation, corporate bylaws, etc. Eventually someone will have a [dis]incentive and try to get around something.

In python 2.7 they also introduced "bytes" although it was just another alias to "str". I wonder if they would make python 2.7 distinguish between them and add an option (like another import from __future__) to throw errors when these types were mixed.

This would help a lot in preparing code incrementally to work on python3.

In the mean time, mypy in python 2 mode doesn't warn about str <-> bytes either :/

Your suggestion about jumping on the EM drive is in direct opposition to what Sabine suggests:

"The only way to avoid being sucked into this vicious cycle is to choose carefully which hypothesis to put to the test. But physicists still operate by the “just look” idea like this was the 19th century. They do not think about which hypotheses are promising because their education has not taught them to do so. Such self-reflection would require knowledge of the philosophy and sociology of science, and those are subjects physicists merely make dismissive jokes about. They believe they are too intelligent to have to think about what they are doing."

Jumping on a crank's idea is not carefully choosing which hypothesis to test.
It is if you're using it to force yourself to do something soul sucking.

It isn't if you are using it to give yourself the discipline to focus on completing a challenge you care about.
Google Code-in 2019 organizations announced
Access also generally comes bundled with Office, so for a lot of people it's the tool they already have at hand. And people are always going to reach first for a tool they already have at hand, if one's available that looks even remotely like it will suit their needs.

There are probably better database solutions for just about anything you'd want to build with Access, but getting something new requires doing research, getting approval, maybe allocating money, etc. Whereas if you have Office, Access is already sitting there on your computer, just waiting for you to pick it up and start making bad decisions.
This only works if you live, work, and shop in a few mile radius.

I commute 30 miles a day each way (60 total) from my house to work. Even a crazy fitness nut likely wouldn't cycle that many miles every day. My commute isn't even long compared to some people's...

Trains aren't the answer either. The US is just too spread out on average. Yes, they'll work in dense cities... but not in the suburbs or rural areas - ie, where majority of the country lives.

People living in big, dense cities are too quick to forget most people don't live that life. Out here, a car is pretty necessary.
