And that brings us back to my original answer: why would they? Trying to extract maximum profit from the counterparty is adversarial, whereas a relationship between a land owner and a neighbourhood farmer most likely is cooperative.

The E-4B deploys in parallel with the VC-25 on AF1/2 missions, though to a different destination airport. Except for very short range ( intra-CONUS ) or where the destination can't handle a 747, when a VC-32 goes instead as the bailout bird.

Alternatively, quite often SECDEF will use the E-4B as his personal transport on overseas trips; changes to accommodations were made accordingly.

To all indications, South Korea responded competently and aggressively, and they have roughly five deaths per million. But Japan half-assed their response, and they have six.

People are blaming/crediting governments with total control of the outcome, when it's far more likely that yet-unknown environmental, genetic, etc. factors explain much of the variation between countries. That doesn't mean we should excuse government incompetence, but we shouldn't assume the same measures in a different country would have yielded the same death rate.

ETA: If you think something is wrong here, please comment in addition to downvoting. Do you think Japan's response was actually better than Italy's, or Spain's, or any of the countries with much tighter restrictions and many more deaths? If so, why (beyond the circular argument that they have fewer deaths)?
So what's the impact of the data dependency chain on "first -= smaller" to the next iteration?

(I guess at the very least it prevents vectorization, but other than that ... shouldn't be too much, but probably still the new limiting factor?)
No seriously. The answer was: "Because it's there."

The whole thing about tax is to extract the maximum number of feathers from the goose with the minimum amount of hissing. Taxing property is easy "because it's there" - you can't hide a house, or a barn, or a factory.

Though deciding _how_ to tax property is a bit more difficult. At one time they tried taxing by the number of chimneys a house had[1]. Another was the Window Tax[2].

Have you ever heard of the phrase "They got away with it scot free"? I was born in the village which (by legend) introduced the Scot Tax - not a per-head levy in our Friends born north of Hadrian's Wall but rather a tax on properties across the Romney Marshes, specifically raised to pay for maintenance of the sea wall. Houses below sea level had to pay the tax, houses above sea level were 'scot free'.[3]

... And people think tax policy is boring!

[1] Technically they taxed hearths, but it's a lot easier to count chimneys from the outside of a house than it is to gain entry to the house to count the number of fireplaces - https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/...

[2] You can still see many houses in the UK with bricked up windows. It wasn't done for aesthetic purposes; it was done to limit the level of tax that could be levied on the property - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_tax

As a developer who's trying to move on to either a management or product role, failure modes is one of the things I want to emphasize in that role. The sad fact is that so many product owners really don't understand how software works or gets built, and as such, they are unequipped to reason about such things.
> RSS is dying (or dead) because it was incompatible with the dominant business model on the internet -- advertising. This is why Google killed it. This is why lots of professional publishers hated it.

> I'd like to see new innovation around protocols and client 'browsers' that were made with monetization built-in as a first-tier specification.

I don't think the solution should be to cater to what big platforms want.

If we did that, then the logical conclusion of that is that we would have to download some bloated locked down app for each platform we wanted to visit, and we would have a plethora of walled gardens. Copying and pasting text would be very limited, and we certainly could not "view source". The best we could do to save content was take screen shots, we certainly could not click on an image and save it. Basically what they are doing now.

Platforms would like nothing better than to completely deprecate access by web browsers all together. (Didn't Instagram do that recently?) Perhaps in the near future, websites will require that you use an "Apple approved" web browser, if they let you access them outside of the app at all.

But, they fact that they present any of their content at all is because of the ubiquity of web browsers. They could probably make more money if they had complete control of their platform, and could do things like prevent ad-blocking.

So, we should have pushed more for RSS to be de-facto requirement of serving content. Firefox, and other browsers, should have advertised when RSS was available, and make it highly discoverable for users.

> The amount of innovation around protocol has been abysmal relative to the explosion in creativity around applications on top of these protocols. And SMTP/HTTP are the only ones with any real mass adoption today.

I don't personally care that much about the protocol itself, I care about the content that the protocol makes available. If reading an RSS story required unpacking a bloated js runtime and fetching even more content, then why not just use a browser?

Publishers also hate SMTP and IMAP, and would love to force users to log into their platform and view ads, just to send an email to someone. And Google is certainly doing their part to eventually kill off these protocols.

AOL and many 90s ISPs did not support these protocols either (even though they used them internally) because they wanted to make users log into their platform instead of using their own mail client.

But the reason that SMTP still exists today is because of its ubiquity. The more RSS is adopted, the more popular it becomes, and the more platforms had to support it, even if they did not want to.

Being able to programmatically send emails is incredibly useful and helpful. I'm sure that when the last SMTP server shuts down, they will tell you that it is ok, because you can still use the mutually incompatible GMail or Outlook.com APIs. Pending approval.
"no longer be regionalized" implies greater but not absolute homogeneity to me. There will likely still be variation, but it won't be associated to different countries or continents as it is now.
Making it directly free doesn't solve all the issues.

8 years ago I was in a state I grew up in, but wasn't born in. Real ID was started, and I needed to renew my license.

Even though I have had a license for 25 years in this state, they required me to verify by identity again to meet the Real ID requirements. This required a birth certificate.

The state I was born in, at the time, didn't allow mailing of birth certificates. For $12, I could pick one up locally. The two states were 1700 miles apart. My only option, other than a road trip or flight, was LexisNexis. The cheapest option, at the time, was $75.

I did what I had to do to comply, other folks may have had a harder time or been entirely unable to solve that problem quickly, or at all. A corporate tax on peoples identity is only one of the possible hurdles in obtaining a "free" ID.
Yes, dates are very complicated. But that doesn't stop pretty much every modern language from having good built-in support for doing this, because it's such a totally common task. JavaScript is such a mess. It doesn't even support integers, for crying out loud, let alone decent date/time/timezone handling. That moment.js is the most popular band-aid to fix this, despite it having a nasty gotcha API that mixes mutable and immutable functions/types in confusing ways just rubs salt into the wound. Heck, you can't even compare two moment dates with inequality operators without either casting them by prepending a plus sign, or calling functions - it just silently does the wrong thing.

But all these difficulties means airlines truly deserve to be mistrusted as an investment vehicle, and to this direction Warren Buffet recently pulled out all investments from the airline industry. So it's really not that comical that airlines are where they are, especially during COVID.

>Who ever sold business by telling the customer: "Your use-case really isn't exciting, and a boring batch-driven process is completely appropriate"?

I did many times. Many practical businesses are looking how to solve their real problems in reliable and cheapest way. They mostly do not give a flying hoot about all those buzzwords and super duper newest tech. They just ask how much, how exactly will it work, what are hidden cost, how will it be maintained and they will also look at your profile (clients, references, examples of finished projects etc).

Fast compression levels of a given algorithm means lower compression ratio.

I don't know if ZFS supports variable compression levels (maybe per dataset), but Btrfs ZSTD support uses a mount option, e.g. mount -o compress=zstd:[1-15]

Thus it's possible to use a higher level (high compression ratio, slower speed, more CPU and RAM) for e.g. an initial archive. And later use a lower level (or even no compression) when doing updates. Writes use the compression algorithm and level set at mount time; and it's possible to change it while remaining mounted, using -o remount.
If you are going to expect me to run your software in an always-on manner, I would greatly appreciate a native application.

This answer misses the fundamental nature of the OP's question.

The problem is that regulations really don't exist and are not formulated properly in a meaningful way in most places.

I don't suspect most nations are prepared to implement and follow through on well-reasoned policy. Maybe a Scandinavian country.

One project, a custom Ethereum based coin was running behind on time - like way, way behind.

this line is so sad. yet another damage caused by humans:

>It has been suggested that the whaling industry has had an effect on the biological pump through the elimination of many large whales, reducing the amount of whale falls. The effects of this on benthic whale fall community assemblages is not well understood.[24] However, it is suggested that the removal of large whales might have reduced the total biomass of the deep sea by more than 30%.[24] Whales stored massive amounts of carbon that were exported to the deep sea during whale fall events.

>Whaling has thus also reduced the ability of the deep sea to sequester carbon.[24] Carbon can be sequestered for hundreds to thousands of years in the deep sea, supporting benthic communities.[24] It is estimated that, in terms of carbon sequestration, each whale is equivalent to thousands of trees.[25]
So how to do fix this and make people want responsibility?

The only answer people seem to have is that children must be brought up better/parents must be better at raising their children, but this seems to require people who already want responsibility-first-power-second to be effective.

TL;DR: A Vi-like Editor but for editing webpages. https://vivpage.com

Why: Long ago I had the idea of typing simple commands (something like h1 hello world!) into the browser and have it materialize elements as I do so. So I quickly prototyped it in a couple days and found it really fast and fun to make website this way, especially if you're already proficient with the CSS framework you use, e.g in Bootstrap, just pull out a Jumbotron div for a quick hero section.

With Vi as my inspiration, I then went to town with React non-stop for 3-4 weeks, and that effort culminated in Vivpage.

So what can Vivpage do?
1. WYSIWYG: that's right, your changes are rendered right away.

2. Parallel Editing: you can edit (or apply an operation to) multiple elements or text at the same time.

3. Versatile Multi-Selection and Navigation: many different shortcut keys for jumping to a specific element or multi-selecting elements, e.g from current to last sibling, or all of children), and also CSS selector based selection (so you can select only elements that match div.col, for example).

4. CSS Framework Support: built-in support for Bootstrap, Bulma, Materialize, Tailwind, and UIkit, but you can also use any other framework you desire.

5. Element Splitting/Joining: Split an element along a specific child, or merge multiple elements (e.g divs) together.

6. Undo/Redo: BOY this is a tough one, but one that I think is really necessary. I made it really easy to go back and forth along the undo history (without using Redux, no less!)

7. More features to come: search/replace, reusable template library, cloud syncing (right now it saves to localStorage), integration with github/drive.

Like Vi, it's not the fluffy and guide your hand tool that most expect - but I believe once you master even the basics of it, you can become really productive.

That's a good start, supporting the dropping of privileges after performing something on startup.

What about keeping the network allowed in the layer handling, say, inbound HTTP connections, but blocking it in the data access layer or purely computational component?

From what I can see, this doesn't work with global boolean flags in the runtime, instead requiring isolated tasks with whitelisted capabilities passed in, some form of "immutable, set-once, dynamically-scoped capability flags", or something like that.

The problem with the global boolean flag approach is that if any part of a service needs it constantly, the entire program gets it, even obscure subdependencies for generating colour pickers.

Don't get me wrong, it's an incremental improvement over's Node.js blase approach. It's also quite niche to see languages support this feature. E was one of them. There was another newer Python-like language with this too, starting with an `M`, but its name escapes me.

I'd recommend Deno's developers look at E a bit more before committing too much to the platform boolean flag approach. Or I've misunderstood their approach and it actually does more than I'm giving it credit for.
