Agreed. And even with cars, you could internalize those externalities with big taxes. (But I guess, if the externalities are big enough, that big tax amounts to a fine or even jail.)
Honestly I'd be highly surprised if producing a single pair of glasses would take more than an hour end-to-end, as long as you aren't grinding them by hand. With modern plastic lenses it's basically a CNC machining operation followed by a couple of polishing steps. There's no reason you can't do a pair with basically no automation aside from the CNC in an hour easily. And that includes sticking them in a lensmeter to check if the prescription matches for QA.

Of course more complex things such as antireflective coatings add a sputtering step to the process which might be a bit much to expect a shop to do in-house.
Turning your comment around: why didn’t those other countries model their constitutions after the US?

It certainly does not have a copyright

Maybe those values were not part of the founding culture - nothing worse than throwing empty words into a foundational document

In the US you see people fight to this day for the 1st (and 2nd) amendment, not because they were written down 200+ years ago, but because it’s part of the culture
Having had an unsexy startup, all of the above helped to attract good talent. As developers ourselves, we were attracted to an environment like the one you describe and so we created a company that we would want to work in. We had no turnover for several years as a result.

Okay. Just to clarify. I’m an Indian living in India, so this behaviour here cannot be some sort of immigration scam. Most likely it’s a case of subcontracting. It isn’t illegal in the sense of a crime. It is probably a violation of the eegistered driver’s contract with Uber. A simple civil tort at best. Uber could cancel their contract and sue them in civil court or Lok Adalat (small claims court)for contract violation. The latter action would be a waste of time though.
That Stack Overflow answer is poorly worded though, looking at an outer stack frame is really nothing like going back in time. Going back in time in the Firefox Replay sense means reversing execution of the program, e.g. to find the values of variables that have been mutated or gone out of scope.
My suggestion was not to add a bureaucratic layer, but to just hand out the cost of the procedure in cash with no questions asked.

Of course, in practice the government would probably come up with silly layers and restrictions on how to use the money etc.
Let everyone architect but only after they've completed some challenging but reasonable tasks. For example:

- passes multiple choice test about how current code works

- has a professional knowledge of the language they are using (part 2 of the test)

- has read and done a book report on 2-3 design-pattern/architecture books.

Once you do all that you go in the queue. New developers have precedence over seasoned developers. When a new project comes up the developer who gets that greenfield is the first developer in that queue who hasn't had a chance to architect yet.

The main idea is that good developers don't want to be assembly line workers and yet a total lack of autonomy seems to be the norm for (I think) most software developers. So the ability to make technical decisions is a real benefit IMO.

Some other things that might be advantages:

- you now have a team of experts. Good job.

- you can avoid senior devs possessing all of the knowledge of the companies software (because only that select few got to design anything) and then not having an incentive to improve.

- Creating a genuine interest in new code (because you want to see how the new guy did it).

"Everyone is an architect" should be your tag line.

What happens when the tent loses pressure? Wouldn't you then need fallback supports with compressive strength? Although assuming the force exerted by pressure is at least twice that of gravity (so that pressure minus gravity is still greater than gravity by itself) the requirements for the fallback supports probably don't have to hold as much load.

You might want to have a look at the Morse paper. It describes an algorithm which worked well, significantly better than KNN, at least on movies, using, by today's standards, a small data set.

I agree that it is hard to dial down bias in reporting to an absolute zero (which Jean-Luc Godard provocatively referred to “50% time for the jews 50% time for Hitler”). But there is still a scale. And right now, in the heat of a political campaign in the US and the UK, it is dialled up to 11.

The reporting could be a lot more balanced, presenting both sides, not using provocating headlines, etc.

It would probably be a bit more boring (which is why even previously serious publications like the Financial Times gave up).
If this works well, it could eventually be a very big boon for Firefox in the business world. Q&A can now send reproducible bug demos to development. Technical clients can do the same. I wouldn't be surprised if someone built tooling to map these recordings into automated tests either: expect the given recorded workflow to not throw errors.

I can't quite remember when I had a bug where a tool like this would've been useful, but I'm sure I would've been (and will be) very thankful for it.
Brad Gobright Dead – Obituary: Climber Falls 200ft to Death
Overall this post is crap. The whole point about people choosing what they want to read or get reported on only reinforces bubbles. That’s what Facebook did.

However I agree that the media is biased and it is worse now than ever. I think even more than being biased, it’s what they choose to report on or not report on that matters. Look at the coverage of Andrew Yang on MSNBC. There are over a dozen instances of ignoring him on charts and graphs and putting lower-polling candidates on display other than him. A few times is one thing but it’s literally over 15 times, including ignoring him for the first 30 mins of the November debates and giving him the least amount of talking time of all the candidates for the 4th debate in a row. Things like this show that media is biased to a degree that is undermining our democracy.
True, Linux on desktop sucks out of the box. But Windows and Mac suck and it’s not possible to make them good. Personally, I just switched back to Linux after 10 years on Mac. It’s a rough start but now it’s better than Mac and I can continue building the environment I want.
> There is a large population that lives below the poverty line and will overcharge anyone who can and will take it.

Well, governments deem progressive taxation to be fair, and is hailed by economists and general populace all around the world, so perhaps faulting people for doing the same is not quite fair in the large scheme of things.

However, it's just annoying, non-transparent and extremely frustrating.
The interesting point here is that the BBC refrained from naming the person, not that they named the other details of the case.

As said, in the UK it is not viewed negatively to name people and specifics in criminal cases, quite the opposite: It is something the public expects and demands.
> why didn’t those other countries model their constitutions after the US?

Fair point. I started my comment about nation-building efforts by America, where America was dominant and the country in question had virtually no way to decide otherwise (like with Germany).

But when I was done editing and re-editing it I had extended it to all kinds of newer countries, and your point is well taken there.
I participated and co-ran a gaming community for about 10 years, and whenever drama occurred we added whatever behavior triggered it to the rule list. It grew, and grew and grew into a very large CoC. By a few year into it people caused drama over the rules, people "lawyer" over them, they got enforced selectively, people accused each other of favor-ism, splits occurred and the community almost killed itself over the rules.

When the game moved into a sequel we changed the rules. Now it says "Treat others with respect and courtesy", which don't really qualify as a CoC since its basically common sense. People see it as so obvious that it not even a rule, more of a guideline.

This new rule has since then been pretty stable. It keeps out exactly those who can't behave but welcomes everyone else. There has not been a single instance of arguments about selective enforcement or favor-ism in terms to how the rules get enforced.

My own experience from that seems very similar when people complain about CoC. Long CoC lists tend to create fear, uncertainty and doubt within the community. It creates tiers of people where different class of people get the rules enforced differently. This in turn create a deep seated distrust.

You can't talk about Chrome's market share without mentioning that it was (maybe still is? I don't know) prominently advertised on the google.com homepage.

Everyone who went to search Google saw the ad. It said something like "Try a faster browser"

The fact that Chrome was advertised on the most popular page in the world, and especially that it was the only ad on that page, definitely made a difference in adoption.

The quality of the dev tools has nothing to do with it.
Yes, that is accurate.

In the US, lab results are nearly always sent to the doctor who prescribed the tests, not to the patient. (And most tests cannot be requested without a doctor's order.) Some doctors are good about sharing the detailed results with their patients while others are not.

You can ask your doctor to send the results to another doctor (more often you just tell the new doctor to request them from the original doc). By law you are entitled to a copy of your medical record yourself but with many doctors it is surprisingly difficult to get them to do this. I have heard of cases where it took many weeks and the threat of a lawsuit.

Ostensibly, the reason for this state of affairs is so a patient can have a professional help explain and interpret the results.
Putin has a habit of reaching out and touching people that annoy him.
All geeks don't hate FB and Apple. Your vantage point may be too far. Chrome's dev tools did have a lot to do with its rise in use among devs.
For some reason, every hardware company, without exception, it terrible at software development. They just can’t do it right. It’s probably a cultural difference, somehow, with the developent style and/or NDA requirements possibly having their impact.
If someone was going to get the check-up anyway, then giving it to them for free has similar effects to giving them money. (People will use the money they save with the checkup now being free on something else.)

I'd say that if as a society we want to help (poor) people, we should do whatever provides the most bang for the buck; ie the highest quality of life improvement at the lowest burden to the rest of society and the smallest disincentive effects.

But yes, if you explicitly want to restrict what poor people can do, then your position is a consistent one.
Thanks, looks promising.

One of my challanges was understanding the the zoo of tests OpenVAS would run and trying to reliably select which ones to apply. Did you, or anyone here, ever spot a way of outputting all the tests (nmap scripts etc.) that a particular run would trigger (but without actually running them)
Maybe you mixed something up. This is about Gitlab, not Github.

The GDK installation has changed a bit (just set it up today, you need to run gdk install and gdk start (instead of run) for example).

That answers a different question, whether you expect that content to be in the ToS or not isn't relevant. I asked whether it's reasonable to expect users to search the ToS to understand the behaviour of their editor.

I don't think it is reasonable, the language complexity expressed in a ToS is vastly different to anything written that's really intended for users to read. People with chronic illnesses experience brain fog and may not find it easy to read a document like a ToS, the elderly, young and those who use english as a second language are also more likely to have issues parsing one.

Even despite that point the software is currently in violation of its own terms of service. If it sends telemetry before you can open the settings panel then clearly you cannot "control what information the Software collects in the settings panel", as the preceding telemetry message can't be prevented.

I would love to give Firefox a shot, but there's one thing I've had issues with, when working with projects using things like webpack, when there's an error, Chrome links me back to the original file and line, I never seem to be able to do this in Firefox.

> have blazing fast performance

Sorry, but GitLab has never been blazing fast. The gitlab.com instance is notoriously slow — supposedly improved a lot over the past few years, but still feels pretty sluggish. My self-hosted instance isn’t much better.

In fact, a couple of open source maintainer friends looked into migrating to GitLab when GitHub was acquired by MS; they did not precisely because GitLab was too slow.
There are basically 4 search engines left in the whole world - Baidu (China), Yandex (Russia, recently officially with KGB management), Google and Bing. That is all, full stop. Everyone else is a fancy GUI for on them. Google has more than 90% market share and each of the rest has like 1-3%. Building new engine is prohibitively costly and hard. So the lesser evil is Bing, by simple elimination.
CEOs aren't that busy. That's what they hire people for. The most successful people aren't running around like maniacs all the time. They are organized, they delegate, and they focus. How much of your day is spent actually working? How much is spent on pointless meetings, status updates, and busywork? CEOs don't have to waste their time on other peoples' priorities. Board members work far, far less. To them, it's the CEOs that look like they're busy all the time.
But that's what drop frame does - it goes back to the state before your current function call, including resetting variables. It does not revert global state (like static variables) but it is essentially like reverting execution 95% of the times I use it.
I live in Europe so I’m generally happy with our political system. If I ever was to argue democracy is a bad idea - I would probably start with India as an example why it doesn’t work...

I understand that personal preferences may vary and people on HN probably enjoy a good portion of China bashing; but if I had to chose - it would always be China over India for me. Healthcare, education, social mobility, equality between men and women, legal system: I can’t think of any reason why I would prefer India over China.

I’m happy that thanks to Modi there now are toilets in India - but there is a lot to catch up still...

Yes, the medical system in the US sucks. There are parts of the world where it works much better. (And not all of them have socialized health care.)

In any case, the socialized health care probably doesn't cover the drugs that get to exported to foreigners like you?

> Unreasonably high costs for prescription meds in the US is not unusual.

Yes, that's a separate problem.

Enabling (re-) imports is an important safety valve. Medical tourism is another.

Ideally, the US would fix their healthcare system. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

Is 6000 birds a year a lot? It's a serious question, I have no idea what fraction of birds in the area that is.

Is it comparable to the normal fluctuation in bird mortality in the area or is it so large that it has a disturbing effect on the population?

Of course fewer bird deaths would be good, and zero would be better.

But these bird deaths are noticed because of where they occur. What is the 'background' level, the death rate in the same place without the solar plant?

The Ivanpah installation is on a known migration route, presumably most other such installations will cause fewer bird deaths simply by not being on such a heavily used route. The article was a bit light on background information and I don't know how to find it.
