Same problem here! Squirrels have gnawed through my perimeter wire dozens of times. I have the Husqvarna Automower 450x, which allows for three shortcut home wires.
Repairing the broken wire is easy...finding the break, however, is extremely difficult and time consuming. I've had the mower for 2 years and it's been awesome in every other way. I'm thinking of pulling up my entire perimeter wire and installing a new wire deeper. No doubt this will make finding future breaks more difficult, but I hope that by being deeper, the squirrel problem will go away.
Every other developed economy was destroyed by the war. The rise of the middle class here was a result of overall economic growth and the economic suicide of the two world wars and the depression. Holding up the 1940's and 1950's as a model removes the context of cataclysmic world events of the 30's and 40's. Also remember that the US had virtually no welfare state at that time and used higher taxes to pay off war debt.

> climate models are terrible at predicting more than 10-20 days out

Note that if your weeding is in 30 days at noon, and you want to know if it's going to rain, then you are doomed. There are no good enough models for that precision.

But if you want to estimate the total rainfall during the year the problem gets easier. Not very easy or easy, just easier than predicting which day will rain in approximately a month.

We implemented this at my work. In order to sign in as the customer, the customer must first explicitly consent to this and can withdraw that consent (and the ability to sign in as the customer) at any time. Without the consent, the sign in as customer function in our support tools doesn't work.

I 100% agree on the "this is not how humans treat humans". This sort of thing is what comes up when you can only be measured by numbers. And someone four levels above you says the numbers need to improve by 2%. At that point you ar a number, or at least they are treating you as your output, not as a human.

Alcohol cools by widening the blood vessels in your skin and extremities. This makes you feel warmer, yet it lowers your overall average and core temperature. This is what makes alcohol in cold weather so dangerous: it really helps your cold fingers and makes you feel better, while actually making you worse off by wasting heat.

I disagree. There certainly circumstances in which a normally healthy person can be left in a permanent vegetative state (see Terry Schiavo[0].)

Regardless of the rarity of such occurrences, it’s always good to have clear communication around how you want to be treated in such a terrible situation. If there’s a clear medical opinion that my quality of life could not be restored to a fully functionally independent state, I’d rather just go.

Depending where in the world you are, these scooters are as expensive as Uber for the same distance (in Europe). But you cannot carry a suitcase, it is not safe, you get wet when it rains, etc.

I get that it feels like a 2-dollar-Harley, and once parents realize that their kids are both at risk AND it costs as much as an Uber, I expect loses to grow.

Unless something drastic happens and the cost drops dramatically.
Restriping is source of unsafety, though. A lot of ZFS data safety comes from the fact it doesn't support overwriting anything, making it so that normal operation can't introduce unrecoverable corruption. In fact, all writes are done through snapshots.

I remember attending MacWorld Boston in '97, at the age of 12, and seeing a BeOS demo. I was blown away by a demonstration that consisted of a video file playing on the page of a rendered book.

If you clicked the page of the book and dragged it around, it simulated the page turning and the video deforming, without skipping a frame.

I may've only been 12, but that demo has stuck with me since.

Edit: I would love to lay eyes on that demo again if anyone has an idea of where video of it may still exist.

In this specific case it would be highly relevant as I assume the law firms wish to select for socioeconomic class. If you make it hard for them they'll just bin your CV.

Software companies are less likely to care explicitly, there it'd be more of an accidental bias (e.g. 'culture fit').
When you start to worry about someone copying your idea then you have already lost. If you have something that is worth while, be the best at doing what it is that you want doing. If others copy your idea then use that as a marketing point (My idea is so good that others want to copy it).

Onec you go down thae path of patents, it is going to cost your dearly - lawyers, patent office fees and there is no guarentee that you will ever get any return on your time and effort.

Unless you are a extremely cany business person who is able to manage all the various aspects of the entire process, stick with being the best there is in your very specific field and use that for sales and support.

You have built on what others have done before you and there will be others who build on what you have done. Trying to stop this is like trying to stop the tide coming in.

In my own personal case, any new ways of doing something or developing something are given way to anyone who wants them. I get the kudos of that work and I get further work out of my abilities, not that that is any consideration today as I am effectively no longer in any industry.

I think the Greens get off way too easy in this article.

"In 2017, for example, a consignment of ancient Iraqi cuneiform tablets they had purchased was found to have been smuggled into the US as 'tile samples'."

To be more precise: The Green family bought over 5,000 ancient artifacts (mainly cuneiform tablets and cylinder seals from Iraq) -- at one point, wiring money to seven separate bank accounts to do so -- at a cost of $1.6 million. And they did this despite having been warned by their own legal counsel that the transaction was probably illegal.

They subsequently paid a $3 million fine.

They continue to insist that all of this was "inexperience" on their part. I think it was simple greed, combined with their certainty that any part of the cultural heritage of the world that pertains to Christianity properly belongs in the hands of American evangelicals.

I appreciate Holmes's candor, but let there be no mistake. He was hired to cover their asses.
This paints an accurate and appropriately frightening picture of what a call center is like when it's busy, but it can be worse when it's not. For example, one call center I worked in prohibited any kind of reading or talking to others while waiting for a call. You were just supposed to sit there. Sometimes for hours. Staring forward. Waiting.

Oh, I and I do mean sit there. You weren't supposed to stand, either. No pacing at your desk or even just standing still. You were supposed to remain seated, whether on a call or not.

I'd be happy to use a first-party system designed for simply saying why I like something. However I'm not willing to create a Twitter account just so I can thank someone when we've never met (and likely never will), and are likely never to speak to each other again. Same deal with signing into other services through GitHub (like gitter), that might start sending me emails (when signing in via GitHub, the service gets your email address; so far as I know, gitter doesn't use it for anything, but other services might).
I wouldn't make the extrapolation that brand advertising doesn't work -- that's too general. I was merely observing that for countries (as opposed to consumer products), advertising alone isn't sufficiently salient to create an emotional connection -- efforts to produce culture and export soft power are much more along the right track.

Take Canada for instance -- I'm from there. Anthony Bourdain had this to say on Canadian tourism ads: “Whoever is in charge of promoting Canada abroad completely have their heads up their asses. It’s all like bears and swatting salmon and Mounties.”

Canada is so much richer than the stereotypes Americans have of us -- we're not just about the pristine wilderness, cold winters and funny accents. Canada's cities are culturally deep and have a dynamism fueled by immigration that is palpable--and more compelling than many U.S. cities--due to sheer Brownian motion collisions of different cultures. The dynamism of Toronto rivals and in some ways exceed that of Chicago where I now live.

So much culture and innovation is being created every day in food (especially in Montreal), TV shows, movies, universities, arts, etc. in Canada but no one has figured out how to sell that.

To be fair, there are some small successes: Anne of Green Gables for instance is a distinct cultural product that guarantees hordes of visitors to Prince Edward Island every summer without fail and with a near zero advertising budget. We need more of this.

I automate all my finances. All of my bills are on autopay, percentages of my paycheck automatically go into investments. It's really important to pay yourself first, so by automating it, I take out the cognitive load. I don't have time, patience, or determination to spend tons of time filling out spreadsheets. I literally spent a few hours setting up autopay and auto-deposit. What's left out of my paycheck is more or less disposable income, though I don't spend nearly that much on a normal month, so it goes into savings.

Maybe once a month or a quarter, I'll look at my savings and redistribute to investments or splurge on something nice.

All of that said, I really don't spend a lot of money. My biggest expense is that I buy lunch 5 days a week. I don't buy a lot of other things... so I guess this works for me.

If you want to know more about how all of this works, I recommend "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" by Ramit Sethi. It's pretty easy to read and walks you through all of the above. Worth more than it's $10 or whatever.
There is an "approved" method - write an publish your own kernel module. However if your module is not GPL licensed it cannot be published in the linux kernel itself, and you must keep up with the maintenance of the code. This is a relatively fair requirement imo.

On the other hand it tends to be harder to change things in a standard library (ie that is where good code goes to die) for want of not breaking dependencies.

If all libraries are tiny then a set of “the best” libraries can evolve over time through the preferences of individual people.

Obviously this doesn’t work so well for finding libraries or having them work great together.

> things I need to take into consideration

Some thoughts, in no particular order.

* Would it bother you if someone used your code in a proprietary product without paying you? Without even crediting you?

* Would it bother you if someone ran a proprietary web service using your code?

* Would it bother you if someone openly forked your project? What if they ended up receiving donations to work on their fork, while you weren't making anything off of the original project?

* Do you care if a fork (or patched distribution) uses your project name? Some projects trademark in order to prevent this (ex Firefox, Rust, ...).

Related to the above, carefully consider the different implications between licensing under AGPL, GPL, MPL, and MIT style licenses. Bear in mind that AGPL and GPL will significantly reduce the set of circumstances under which someone in industry would be able to use your code - that might or might not be desirable to you.

(Aside: My preference is generally towards MPL, but MIT has its use cases.)

> I've had the perception that you need to know what you're doing to run a business around an open source software product

That's complicated, and likely depends a lot on what _sort_ of business you want to run. You reveal some or all of your trade secrets, but might gain any of visibility, good will, and community contributions.

If you aim to sell a proprietary product (as opposed to consulting or something else), be careful under what terms you accept contributions from the community to (a portion of?) your code base. Appropriate modularization of the project is likely to be important in this case.
Most languages have standard libraries and things are fine that way. Most NPM modules have a scope that’s too small. Instead of 100 string modules they should get merged into one string library.
