The upside of custom pieces is that I was able to identify all my LEGO sets from a single pile of bricks. By grabbing the custom pieces and looking them up in online databases, I could see which sets they were used in. It was usually two or three sets and based on my memory I would pick the one I most likely owned. Going by the database I was able to grab all other bricks belonging to that set and build the item. I would mark the missing bricks online, tear everything down and put it in a ziplock bag labeled with the number of set. After a couple of days of going through the pile I was able to find all my LEGO sets and have them separated in labelled ziplock bags. I can now browse through my personal database of LEGO sets, pick one, find the ziplock bag and build it. It's also nicely preserved for future generations.
Yeah, this is great. See the top comment on Google firing apparent labor organizers:

On the one hand, programmers are called impossibly naive for trying to organize.

Then when others do organize, rather than revising the claim that it's naive to even think about organizing, they simply resent those who do.
I think the aim of better funding models is to allow more specialised content that is of higher value to people with an interest in that niche to be viable. In theory that allows more creators that are focused on a niche to thrive, rather than just creators that have generically good production standards and reach a wide but non-committed audience who just have to provide "eyeballs".

Therefore I would assume there isn't homogenous enthusiasm from all content makers for new funding models. Niche providers want it while mainstream ones are happier with the status quo.

Okay and?

My point is that to collect property tax it's easier for the Government and Income tax is harder for the Government. It requires more reporting...

It has nothing to do with the value extracted.
The only time I trespassed was in Croatia, close to the Serbian border. We had taken the wrong road and ended up on a dead-end. A Serbian living there explained that the road ended up at a summer house of Tito, which was also intended to be used in case of Nuclear war, as it's built above a spring. We went to visit the building, which had been thoroughly trashed since the break-up of Yugoslavia. I also wonder why it hasn't been converted in a hotel, since it's close to one of the natural park of Croatia.

You have to be carful about letting just anyone waltz up and become a pay to play citizen - or you end up like Malta.
I doubt it. They just won't be able to void warranties due to these kinds of laws. They are still free to design their electronics however they want.
> Kelly criterion doesn't work. Your link says it maximizes log wealth. If potential wealth is unbounded, you will still take bets that are positive E(log utility).

Actually Kelly criterion works well, since it would limit your exposure to the game.

In this situation, Pascal as a Kelly-better would bet 12 deniers out of 10 livres (= 0.05% of his wealth), which is a penny.
That's still not really Nintendo's fault though. Network services are allowed to repeatedly broadcast the same packets, and it does so for legitimate purposes. If competently written, the Roku should have no trouble discarding invalid input.
Oh wow that just sounds horrible. So it is entirely the illusion that it's doing what you want. It'd be as pointful as riding in one of those cheap amusement rides outside a shop. It's all shiny. I want to sit in it. But the novelty wears of immediately when you realise you're not totally in control of things.

It's the same thing in reverse. You can use a camera to capture a light field, and then a screen with a complementary lens to project out (roughly) the same light field.

In fact, given the principle of the reversibility of light, if you had a screen the same size and pixel density as your camera sensor you could use the exact same lens array to output a close approximation of the captured light field, without any post-processing of the captured pixels!

I am fairly certain 40% of all citizens would shift their income to a tax haven if possible.
Being the global 1% earner means nothing in this context. Income is measured against context of currency. A USD can indeed buy a lot but perhaps housing is a lot cheaper in subsaharan africa than Manhattan? Same for food and other expenses? Regardless of their place in the world, being rich is only significant to how much expendible money you have left after accounting for neccessities. Even in america, $80k/yr can mean you're doing great if you live in some no name suburb or small town but you're lucky if you break even with that in NYC.

Your firewood analogies are sensetionalist but do not answer my question of how even if western civilization vanished over night climate change would be resolved? Perhaps delayed by a few decades. I would even say it might get worse due to undeveloped countries desire to compete with minimal costs and inability to create nuclear power or afford wind turbine farms,solar,etc... When oil,charcol and old cars are already affordable.

To turn this on it head, one wonders how much pressure was coming from the board for Sabis to be afraid to tell the truth?
The human friendly name should really be metadata on the file anyway. Regular users don't need to deal with raw filesystem internals, we can just say that filenames are identifiers that are always lower case, in the C locale, encoded as utf8 or 16. Any whitespace is not allowed.

Thanks! Yea the backend is all python (using spacy.io for NLP), and I built an admin in Rails to search through the quotes and correct the quotes when needed. Everything is stored in postgres.

I initially thought I would be able to manually review each quote (which was the main reason I built the admin), but it quickly became obvious that it was just too many quotes so I had to improve quote detection and attribution.

Big thanks to whomever wrote the spacy doc, I knew nothing about NLP (and I still know next to nothing tbh), but I was able to start using it pretty quickly.

Hi
If you are switching to GitHub Actions for your PHP Applications, this GitHub Action would help you setup the required environment with different PHP versions install extensions and more.

It has been tested with most PHP frameworks and tools. You can find examples for using this with your projects in the README.
If the 1000t is radioactive at 5Bq/Kg and the 10000t is radioactive at 2Bq/Kg, it's at best confusing to say the second plant's waste is "more radioactive".
Dunno about this specific case, but I find that a lot of the people who say "Lego sucks now" mean "I glanced at the toy aisle at Wal-Mart and didn't see exactly what I was looking for." It's most notable with the people who insist they don't sell big buckets of generic bricks anymore, when they absolutely do. They might be on the bottom shelf under the Star Wars kits, and smaller displays at supermarkets and such might not have any, but they're still easily available if you look or go online.
Algorithmic Blindspots
While this is true, the battery (which is likely the only component most people will need/want to replace) is still glued to the case, the RAM is soldered and I'm not sure Microsoft will provide a replacement keyboard to you for a decent price.

I mean, I was very happy about the Laptop 3 repairability, but if the MBP is 1/10, then 5/10 looks a bit too much to me.
I guess you didn't read my comment at all.

When it fails it doesn't. And if you need to bring up Autotools that weren't brought up by anyone in this thread then that justification isn't sound at all.
This looks like a retail goods analogy for SWIFT type system for connecting different retail marketplaces to one another.

I always thought the economics of drop shipping would never work but looks like it is profitable even with a processing middleman.

I am curious to know what kind of inefficiency is being exploited here, because this seems to be from one online retailer to another (unlike ebay). I have a couple of guesses but I would like to know if there are others:

* information gap on the customer side (doesn't want to cross shop)

* product won't ship to target market through competitors website

* competitor's website wont accept user's preferred mode of payment

* wants a competitor's house-brand product on amazon

* some kind of customs loophole
So, what's next? Central for land area or Southeast for population?
I'm loving 8base so far!

Best UI/UX in a Backend-as-a-service I've ever seen.

Happy to see the new $49/m plan! It's a nice step when you outgrow the Hobby plan, but not having to go straight to "enterprise-level"

PS. The support is probably the best customer support I've ever seen!

They actually listen to customer feedback as well. I'm thoroughly impressed by 8base!

Excited to see what features you add in the future!!!
I think this touches the root cause.
How to Run a Python Script
Corporations already pay myriad income taxes and distributed profits (capital gains and dividends) are taxed, paid by the recipient. Corporate tax is double taxation and is inefficient. The optimal corporate tax rate is zero and I wish people would understand this.

35% corporate tax rate the US had before the tax cut was completely absurd and the only corps that paid it were small ones that didn’t have in house staff to get around it. Even your favorite socialist European countries have far lower rates than 35%.

If we set the rate to 0% companies would stop playing all these stupid games and fire all the people who spend their lives waging this war. It drives me bananas!
Only in the short term. Long term your productivity would be better as you wouldn’t be suffering from health problems.
>Open source does not have to be free.

If we're using the common definition that everyone in the industry uses, then it actually does.

In fact, Open source was coined in 1998 because we needed a term with a precise and well defined meaning.

I don't know anyone who uses the term open source in the way you describe.
Well the US got what it wanted. Disgusting violations of the law and human rights.
That's not quite true - a lot of stuff happened see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Papers

Also, Mossack Fonseca was shut down.

Mind you - nothing happened to the basic approach of offshore shell companies - which is the real problem.
That's exactly how I feel about it. I don't think "paying" taxes are something that is honorable. The money is removed from you forcefully.
No, scriptural money and globalization are big differences too. Not too long ago it would have been easy to physically steal rich people, now it requires far more organization.

Next part should be: the typesetting common errors making text difficult to read.
The CO2 expelled from the Calcium Carbonate is quite pure compared to CO2 from combustion which usually contains nitrous oxides. This makes it suitable for capture and liquification and thn for example as a gasous fertilizer in greenhouses. A heat exchanger can recuperate a good chunk of the residual heat and pipe that to the air intake for the gas burners that are used to heat the furnaces.

Not saying every cement plant is doing this. But it is possible and makes sense.

Focussing solar power to the furnace would eliminate a sensible usage of the residual heat within the process itself.
Burnout will limit your potential a lot more.
I used to work in a machine shop in Florida that had no air conditioning. Summer time was always barely bearable.
A woman who worked there would sometimes complain about the heat, sweat beading on her forehead. I'd think of a certain piece of music (this was ~25 years ago, so I don't recall what music now) and goosebumps would pop up on my arms. I'd tell her I really didn't see how she could be hot, because... "Look, I'm actually a bit chilly."
Even though it quite amused me, she never seemed to be amused, though at some level, maybe she was. She kept coming back to complain after all even when she knew what my response would be.

I can, for the most part, now produce goose bumps without thinking of any music. I just feel the feeling that produces them (lovejoycompassion*awe), and they pop up, often accompanied by a lump in the throat and/or catch in the breath.

The subconscious has little ability to distinguish between imagination and reality, in the sense of, e.g. one who has a fear of flying will display the same physiological manifestations whether he's boarding a plane, or just imagining boarding a plane. The subconscious reacts the same to the perception regardless of whether that perception is through the mind's eye or the physical eye. This is how NLP works. By inducing the reaction in a safe space, it can be minimized or eliminated. Once minimized/eliminated in the office (or wherever), it remains minimized in the triggering circumstance.
Especially considering malicious actors don't play by network "cleanliness" rules either. Being able to handle malformed packets is essential to the security of pretty much anything.

What you're really saying is that you don't pay the external costs of these things, and you don't care that anyone else has to either - people in poorer countries who will be affected by new and dangerous weather, or even your own children.
Pacing, life is a marathon not a race.
You can say you life is good with these features, but how can you say it's better? How did you compare?

Here's another question. Is practicality the adequate criteria to judge the ethical implication of some behaviour?
If You Can't Buy the Keyboard You Want, Build It Instead
I'm surprised it's not more.
> the backlash from a reduced re-sell price

Users complaining that laptops are too easy to repair seems absurd to me but then again, I'm not an Apple customer.
I would counter that the reason laptops don't get repaired has a lot to do with mindsets and habits. It feels easier to just get a new one. I'd say the availability of repairable laptops is a prerequisite to change.

Basically Apple need to want this change. They need to... be brave? To... think different?
I've got my MBP in November 2016, as soon as it became available in my country. I was using it at home and office, carrying between both of those locations using sleeve, taking extra care to don't mess my precious new laptop up. Its keyboard worked perfectly all this time.

Reading about all the keyboard woes others had, I've been wondering if I am just lucky. In November 2018 I've traveled to another town with my laptop (in the sleeve, as usual). This was single day travel and it turned out that I've didn't even have to pull it from the bag a single time. After coming home 10 hours later I've pulled my laptop from the sleeve and pressed "R" key. It didn't "click". I've pressed it again. It didn't click either, but it sticked to the tip of my finger and popped out of its slot. I was now part of the people blessed with keyboard fault.
The keycap and the scissor mechanism are replaceable, but not officially (at least it isn't on the 2012-2015 models).
So if you have an issue with one key, Apple will likely still offer a whole top-case replacement (this is what they did with me with a 2015).
When I was a lot younger, I used to play softair sometimes with my friends (wargames with BBs gun). I seriously researched ways to build automatic turrets.

Rules are simple: shoot at a foe until it raises its hand, that means the person was shot.

Unfortunately (?), the available software at the time was subpar, and I forgot about it because of two problems:

* How to identify a foe? It would need facial/body recognition from a few set of examples (team pictures before starting, better if it shots everything else).

* How to know when to stop shooting?

These new technologies would make almost trivial to build such an application, and make it quite reliable. I guess there is a market for this in softair... I'm even tempted to have a go at it, BUT... I don't think I will because I now have to ponder the ethics of building something that can take a gun, identify targets, aim at them accurately, and fire until they are down. I am usually all in on open source software, but that's just the kind of things that sound dangerous to share (same as defense distributed, TBH).

I hope enough persons share the same misgivings, otherwise there is no point for me to refrain from building this. (Except perhaps spending my time on project that are actually useful for humankind).
Nobody you consider important.

Not sure what that means but the stories I heard from the Kosovan (and Serbian and Albanian) people about their dead relatives have certainly filled me with a lot of hate towards pointless wars.
Your throat will absolutely not hurt if you’re a trained actor with a trained voice. You learn how to sing and speak with proper technique — years of classes — exactly so that doesn’t happen. Otherwise no one would survive on Broadway doing eight shows a week.

For an author who wants to narrate their own book though? Yes, if they don’t have vocal training. Which is why that might not always be the best idea, among other reasons.
Where do you have the data from? Did you analyze the video frame-by-frame? Actually that's not bad considering what are we talking about here. Wish I could try it.
Unless you are really using canned air daily, you will not have to spend 100$ for it over your whole life.
It is not at all the same situation as with floating point numbers.

1. It does not use a predetermined finite set of rational numbers. It uses a bigint numerator and a 64-bit denominator.

2. Even the case of bounded numerator and bounded denominator would preserve more of the nice mathematical properties of rational arithmetic than IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic does (e.g. the associativity of addition).

3. While the latter could be implemented in hardware, it is not implemented in hardware. The defaults for literals prefer the choice that is implemented in hardware, IEEE 754 floating-point. This is a premature optimization.
I'd like to know how the readers benefit from reading. Someone like Grover Gardner or David Timson - these guys ready pretty substantial books - Herodotus, Shelby Foote, Boswell, Gibbon...

Do they retain all that they read? Is it an enriching experience?
This is now how the banking sector works. Most of the newcomers like N26 and Revolut are pretty much just an average bank with modern technology. The reality however is that they don't have a sustainable business model. They offer bank accounts for free and keep bleeding cash because no one wants their premium accounts, presumably because people don't use them as their primary bank account and just as a middle man for easy access to Google or Apple Pay.
I must be an outlier then.

I get pretty worked up about perceived injustices. I cringe when I see people get hurt. The people I've volunteered alongside over the years also seem to care enough about the welfare of strangers to actively participate.

Sure, I've also know plenty of people who don't care about others. eg solution to climate crisis is to cull humanity by 99%, people in jail deserve it, political opponents are traitors.

Though I think most people are in the apathetic middle.
Relying on self reported things is a big problem with a lot of psychological research. It is very hard to do it otherwise because sympathetic feelings are an inner world experience. Only if we found something measurable that coincided with these feelings in almost all instances could we improve upon it.
Maybe, but it kind of became (or already was?) the official position of the catholic church for many centuries. And many of his rules (mariage, bestiality, etc.) were supported by the bible.

A theologist once wrote that the concepts of deadly sins and heaven/hell are one of the most ingenious things anybody has ever invented [+], at least if you are a ruler. With these concepts the church was able to control people even until their last moment (their death). No matter how terrible life as a simple farmer was in the middle ages, who would dare to risk their sweet and pain-free eternal life in heaven by opposing the king and the pope?

I am wondering whether the interest of the church in controlling the bedrooms of their sheep was motivated by the same idea: Not allowing any kind of escape, even temporarily, from hell on earth.

[+] Yes, I know the concepts are older than the catholic church and even christianity but you have to admit that the catholic church had really an unhealthy obsession for the afterlife.
Excerpt from the article: "Why aren’t Americans rising up in peaceful protest like our neighbors?". Well, because those protests aren't peaceful as you think. At least in Chile, every shop, hotel and place where protesters appeared has been destroyed.

Hey, this looks kind of nice actually. But why hide the content behind an email sign-up, why not also provide an RSS feed, or at least the latest 1-3 send-outs? If you hadn't provided that link to the latest e-mail I would've brushed it off entirely and not given it a moments more thought. But you did provide that link, and I found the content relevant and interesting, and even dove deeper into a couple of the articles.

The content in this one e-mail is pretty good, but before I sign up I'd like to see more. But also it's not clear to me that I'm your customer, because reading your post here it sounds like your customer isn't the consumer of these feeds but actually the producers? I'm not one of them, so why do you care about my e-mail address, other than to sell to your actual customers down the line?
Or you could just open a checking account with a credit union that doesn't sell your data to Google.
"I’m afraid that there is no cure for burnout. After all, you can’t untoast toast."

Well said.
I know that I am not typical in my thinking but seems almost obvious. I would have expected partisan animosity to increase with empathy because of the stakes and the views "against" being viewed as actively harmful and damaging enmasse. And extreme viewpoints can have very divergent viewpoints.

And that is before the "literal head of ISIS". Sometimes extreme situations results in weirdness like "killing everyone else in the room with your bare hands was ironically the most moral option".

On another note can the political polarization lazy reporting trope just die in a ditch already? Sometimes the other side is objectively wrong both morally and effectiveness. The solution is not to compromise and have half a pogrom.
