I think this misperceives the nature of the American polity. 20-35% support secession of their state from the union, depending on region. https://images.app.goo.gl/8fwmTm44Q55ReEV76. For comparison, the Basque region of Spain is at 17%. That’s certainly not a position advocated by “the rich.” Is it so hard to believe that a big chunk of the rest are skeptical of big government?

Distrust of the government is deeply baked into American culture. Blaming it on “the rich” effectively denies that culture can be a thing (or assumes it can be easily constructed given sufficient monetary resources).
Anything above 100% is considered high DPI on Windows, including 125%. I.e. if the display DPI is not 100% and the app isn't DPI aware you will end up with a blurry mess since the OS will stretch the app for you via bitmap scaling by a factor of DPI / 100%. Apple is the only one that does integer factor only DPI for their hardware (100%, 200%, 300%...) and their entire current lineup is >100% now.
Try "Adelaide, South Australia". It was an actual planned city, and the city centre for the most part is a very easy to navigate grid. North Adelaide (the other grid you'll see to the north west just above it) also planned in the same way, but just across the river and smaller. Probably one of the best "planned cities" I've seen on things like this.
If you're working for the government, there are some relevant parts of the constitution, but otherwise the answer is basically no. At least, not in a single semester course giving a rough overview of how the government is supposed to work.

I can solder a set of pins (or pogo pins) on a .100 spacing and mate into the .100 header holes. Or I can offset the .100 holes very slightly so they friction grab a .100 2x2 male header in the holes.

Or I can buy a breakout board that does the same thing for $7.00 for 2 rather than $50 per cable like Tag-Connect:

> What does "reserved" mean? Anyone can buy a .org. There isn't any actual restriction.

Fair point. The "restriction" was really a recommendation (from RFC 920 in 1985, in a more polite time on the nascent "internet").

> [...] Should they be allowed a .org?

Who cares? The cat is out of the bag. As of today there are 1514 TLDs [0]. .mil and .gov should still have some requirements, but .org, .net, .com (and almost all the other TLDs) are all effectively the same thing.

That is one of the early papers by David Harel which divulgated statecharts among the scientific community. Note that since then, there has been a number of criticisms made about the original statecharts (namely the absence of precise semantics, and the concurrency model) and a number of variants have since seen the day. What seems to have remained in all variants is the concept of hierarchy. In the Kingly state machine library (https://github.com/brucou/kingly), I only use hierarchy and discard broadcast and concurrency. The latter two can be added at will according to the problem at hand.

"For some blind people [...] guide horses serve as a compelling alternative to guide dogs. The animals are mild-mannered and fast learners, with nearly 360-degree vision. They may also offer balance support to individuals with physical disabilities."

Also, dogs only live for 8-10 years, while miniature horses live for 35-40 years.

yes, if you pick one of the ugliest modern cars, and compare it to one of the best-regarded car designs from the last 50 years, modern cars are ugly.

Why won't Bezos give his phone to the trustworthy FBI? Is he trying to perpetuate fake news. Our country and tech news is filled with Fake News and Russian Assets peddling it. Yesterday Fake News Lord and Russian Asset Glenn Greenwald was on the front page here. Another King of Fake News and Russian Asset Julian Assange frequently on the front page here. Russian Asset Snowden possibly most-discussed person on HN. We have Russian Assets literally as president, running for president, and in the legislator like Donald Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, Rand Paul, Ron Paul, Justin Amash. Why won't Bezos give his phone to the FBI. Is Bezos now also really peddling Fake News? What if everyone is a Russian Asset?

Umm... yes? Why would PTFE "deprive cells of oxygen"? What cells? What size particles? Do you think they'd block your arteries or something? Why would that be any different than any other material? And how exactly would such particles get into your body? By injection?

PTFE is chemically and biologically inert. It's well studied, and has enjoyed extensive medical use inside peoples' bodies for over half a century. I'm aware of no evidence that PTFE in your body is harmful in any form or quantity that is known to actually occur in humans. If you have any evidence to the contrary, I'd love to hear it.

Well, in the 90s before they had lots of grades, the instructions where to never put anything on it, just wash and tumble dry. It has a slightly coarse texture like it has microhairs. It can bead water but can also get wet, but when it is wet the water flows off it quickly, not into it. Ive never expected wet gear to be incapable of getting wet, just to resist it, drain quickly and not let water in. But i've never used repellent sprays.

We've got a LOT of runway before the "big one" in the US. In other countries (Japan, Italy, some parts of France) the slow decline is already well underway.

The answer to when the big crash happens is in the population data. At some point population starts to decline.

As with everything, the boomers will ride in the sunset with bags of gold. In 30 years housing will be fundamentally different in the US and just about everywhere in the Western world. Outside of the major cities it won't even be much of an investment anymore.

If you buy a house today for $500k on a 30-year you'll spend close to a million dollars before you own it if you ride the loan out, and adjusted for inflation, you will probably take a loss on it. Possibly a large loss. Unless we see mass immigration the market 30 years from now is simply going to be smaller.

She's not wrong.

Talking to journalists is vanity, and that's how many reporters justify obtaining peoples trust and then betraying it. Personally, I thought quite a few journalists I met were actuated by a kind of sadism, where to bait and smite people they envied was something they really enjoyed. Comparing this trap setting mentality to a perversion is not as far a leap as it might seem. The lunatics who threaten and harass them are no better, but the whole thing is a seedy enterprise. Whitman is right to caution staff about them.

Anyone who has had their reputation harmed by having a quote taken out of context and used to drive a writers narrative can attest to this. Journalism as a story form relies on conflict, and preying on vanity to draw people into conflict is literally the game.

Automated Testing: 5 Lessons from Atlassian’s K8S team on testing infra-as-code
Having lived in the Bay Area for 50 years. I keep coming back to the observation that the 'just build more houses' crowd studiously ignores or is actively hostile to the need to build more transportation and other public infrastructure. And are loath to raise taxes fund more services. Developers in particular are utterly hostile.

Given that makes sense that home owners and local governments wouldn't be very keen on increasing density. There is basically nothing in it for them and a lot of negatives.

I have a take on this that I suspect is going to be unpopular.

I had a close friend who obviously had various mental health problems -- probably PTSD from a brutal childhood, major social anxiety -- but no diagnoses. I mean, I'm not a doctor, so feel free to take that with a grain of salt, but he quite clearly had issues, and limited means to go see one. Anyway, he regularly used cannabis. Although he probably would describe his use of cannabis as recreational, I think for him, and for a lot of people who use it with undiagnosed health problems, cannabis "feels good" because it's actually therapeutic.

I think something similar can be said for pets and animals in general. Some people have disabilities that prevent them from living their lives to the fullest. Some people have pretty severe anxiety around travel. And some people in those categories don't even have diagnoses. All they know is their animals provide comfort.

Sure, if you're someone with autism, bad social anxiety, or PTSD, it's known that there can be a lot of safety inherent to a relationship with a creature who won't judge you cruelly for being who you are. But on the less extreme side, some people are dealing with anxiety or depression driven by grief, shitty jobs, financial insecurity, or other issues, and having a loved pet close to you -- especially when you're traveling, which sucks for a lot of people -- can make an enormous difference.

One thing that I see missing from discussion here is that airlines and businesses in general have a financial stake in limiting what's required of them with regard to accessibility, and historically they've fought and continue to fight tooth and nail to reduce such requirements, and even when they lose, their actual implementation is often minimal and piss-poor. So I don't think their "wins" are to be celebrated

Further, I'd argue that the headline itself is sensationalized: turkeys and possums on planes are red herrings, as are the anecdotes in the comments around "so-and-so said they got their dog registered just so he could fly with her". Why did she want him to fly with her then? Sure, a passenger with a turkey or a possum might cost the airlines more money -- but to what extent is the average consumer even impacted by someone bringing a possum on the plane?

Finally, to the folks who suddenly care about animal welfare when we're talking about folks with mental health related disabilities, you don't always have to fly with animals in cargo. A number of airlines allow animals to fly in the cabin with you, with certain restrictions.
ICANN has no technical power to enforce this change, so continuing with it while there is so much dissent is dangerous to itself and the current organization of the internet. If some big players in the DNS space decided to object to this change (like say google and a few ISPs who thought they should get a bigger slice of the registration pie) they could just disrespect registrations published by Ethos and require an additional fee to propagate a new name to their servers (Oh you registered a name? Well, how much is allowing comcast users[1] to see it worth to you)... I hope ICANN stops being silly before it fractures assumptions around DNS propagation.

There appears to be signficant research on the time it takes for various green technologies to amortise their manufacturing pollution cost.

For example the article below estimates a time period of 6 - 18 months for some electric car models. That seems a little low to me so I would like to review the literature a bit more before making any serious claims. Then obviously the greenness of running the car depends on the source of charging electricity.

Not all i2c devices can be read that way. There are several devices that require an address (on top of the device address) to be written before data can be read, but without a second stop bit after writing the address. You end up with like double start condition.
These require either using the smbus stuff or I2C_RDWR ioctl.
Building millions of electric cars and shipping them around the world is extremely energy intensive. Many countries where those cars are shipped to use fossil fuels as their main source of electricity too. Nothing about it is green or will "stop climate change", but it gives them good marketing.
> Humanity has never made collective decisions for the whole planet ...

League of Nations, later becoming the United Nations, Universal Declaration of Human Rights ... hopefully you will have heard of those.

Within the UN there are not that many members that complain much about the organization being dysfunctional or even useless. Unsurprisingly, all those who do are the USA and ones that are extremely dependent on the USA. One could argue that the USA is indeed an exceptional country, but not in a good way. The UN was explicitly set up with the goal of collectively solving global problems. The current status quo within the UN, where the USA regularly flaunts the treaties they signed/ratified or falsely accusing others of violations (without sufficient proof) just as justification for ditching their own commitments, says little about humanity and everything about the USA.

I have no doubt that the USA will indeed do everything to "resolve" these issues rather the old fashioned way by violence. Hopefully the rest of mankind will be a bit smarter than that.

>Slavery was big business and women had no rights

That was the norm of the era and much much later. Democracy is not supposed to change the norms of its times, it's supposed to assist those who participate to represent themselves better.

Women didn't have a vote well into the 20th century, the poor non land owning people couldn't vote in the US until the 19th century, and slavery was a thing for almost 2 and a half millennia after ancient Athenian democracy, even in much more "enlightened" and "christian love morals" nations. Even representative democracy gurus like the "Founding Fathers" had no qualms with owning slaves. So hardly a thing to blame ancient Athenian democracy for not solving 2.5 millennia in advance.

We should focus on what innovative (or worse) it did bring to the table, not whether in other ways it was compatible with a baseline that held for 2.5 millennia more.

>There were very few elected officials and they were chosen randomly for the highest offices. Think of random people with conflicting, crazy ideas being voted in and out regularly, as judges, as bureaucrats, as heads of state.

That was not a problem, as it is in the modern world. First, life was much more public oriented, so the crazy ideas where tamed by interaction with others (and of course, knowning that you will randomly be replaced in the next term).

>The assemblies weren't held accountable to themselves, and could vote to break their own laws.

That's the whole point, isn't it? That you're not iron-bound to some law you've passed, if you decide it doesn't work.

Even worse, being iron-bound to some law a policitian you've voted for for different reasons (say, because they promised tax breaks), passed on another matter, but you can't do anything, because you only get to vote wholesale (their whole platform, take it or leave it, even if you just strongly like 1-2 parts of it), and can't change anything for 4 years.

>It changed over time.

Again, that's a plus - people can change the system directly, they're not thrown into a rigid system they have no power on.

The rest, it not being perfect, the rich having increased influence (e.g. class playing a role), etc, were artefacts of the power balances of the era. That was the case everywhere, and is still now.

>Some researchers have suggested that direct democracy like this wouldn't work over a very large area. It can work in towns and cities, and small city-states, but there's just too many factors for it to be practical in a large scale diverse modern nation.

Doesn't need to be an exact replica. It could be multi-level (e.g. direct voting at the city/small district level), with national referendums on any major law, etc. Today we also have the option to vote online with crypto etc.
Under the GDPR, that Microsoft Data Protection Officer will have 30 days to respond to you.
If they don't respond, you can complain to the supervisory authority (in the case of UK that is https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/).

Now, Microsoft does not necessarily have to tell you exactly what of your data was leaked. They probably do not know! In this case, they may just respond to your request with all of the personal data they hold.

The law just says that they have to notify you of the "nature of the personal data breach as well as recommendations for the natural person concerned to mitigate potential adverse effects".
