The 41 Books Mark Zuckerberg Has Recommended on Facebook
Since they are legal items that are merely prohibited to transport through the checkpoint, and since no forefeiture action has been taken which would lawfully deprive the owner of title, only a seizure of possession to prevent the prohibited action, they should be held for return to the owner outside of the secured area with storage charge (and shipment charge if an option for remote return is provided) covering reasonable actual costs only.

Anything else would seem to be deprivation of property without due process and taking for public use without just compensation, in violation of both the due process and takings clauses of the 5th Amendment.
Ofcourse it can, you can pull carbon directly out of the atmosphere and have negative emissions. Energy consumption of sequestation coupled with carbon footprint of solar/wind/nuclear works out to be nagative.

The IPCC stipulates negative emissions in the second half of the century.

Lastly, our carbon budget is not zero, if everyone kept to carbon budget of 3 tons of CO2 per person we'd never have climate change to begin with.
Apple's pivot into services has just been the worst. They've been getting gradually stingier for years—to the point of it affecting product quality—but it's only recently they've started to add some scummy behaviour and dark patterns, and I can't see it getting any better.
As Don Hopkins notes, this was originally part of the National Air and Space Museum's "Life in the Universe" exhibit. I saw it several times there and it's still a treat. For a while, a high quality version was available on YouTube but it was taken down due to a copyright claim by the owner, WGBH Educational Foundation. The Smithsonian Magazine link Don posted has a link to the now-removed video.
Most people work on compressed JSON lines files. Sometimes they are stored on s3. Files do not give flexibility.

There is a practical use for the names. It isn't all marketing. Internally, a hurricane starts as a little swirl on the other side of the ocean and is watched/tracked as an interesting object. Designators are used to track these structures. They are given formal names at a particular point once they hit certain milestones. This naming triggers certain processes (more attention, greater tracking fidelity, inclusion in daily briefs etc). These are no different than military operations, which have to be of a particular size before they are formally 'named'. The fact that the media promulgates these internal designators to the public is but an extension of a useful internal process.
Isn't that better than petrol or diesel cars?
Yeah I believe the strategy is to make consumers think they should "just buy a new one".

Apple is also putting up a very poor "training" program (Independent Repair Program) so that it looks like they're entertaining "right to repair" while they ensure the program is not adequate enough for people taking the course to handle even the most basic repairs.

Apple also locks it all up in tight NDAs so that they can't discuss this publicly.

I reported one such scam business and it's still operating months later. Best to just block all facebook ads and ignore any that slip through.
Without controlling for income, it's hard to draw good conclusions here. Looking at the area I am familiar with (Boston and its inner suburbs), CO2 emissions seem to correlate pretty well with income for areas which are a similar distance from downtown Boston and similarly dense/built-up.

Of course there's the open question of whether something like Brookline or even more so Cambridge or Somerville count as "suburbs outside a city".
This guy runs Baltimore, and throwanem, you're done in Baltimore! This has to be the most unintentionally funny HN comment thread I've read. I'm sure throwanem is shuddering at the potential loss of a $90k "Senior LAMP" job offer.

Org-mode 9.4 is out. Can you help?
The article commented in this thread is one such example: neural networks were put to actual real-world use by western companies. Another example is the attempt of USSR to build something like the internet before the current one was thought out. They had the vision but the implementation somehow didn't take off.
The Freemium Model Paradox
One way of promoting personal responsibility is to make people aware of a problem. Some people may be able to figure it out on their own, others find out from someone close to them, yet others will learn of it from other sources (such as documentaries).

That being said, I believe that social responsibility also has to play a role. If companies were simply interested in making a product appealing, they would look at how well it is received. When companies start employing psychology, there is a strong possibility that they are doing so to override people's judgment (thus their ability to take personal responsibility).
At least you have to physically go to a casino. When the casino is in your pocket it's very hard for an addict to resist.
Respectfully, how would they be able to verify that a) you are being truthful, and b) that only part of the shipment is real, when once part has been shown not to be?
Federally guaranteeing human rights and federally levying significant taxes are two very different things.

Other commenter is wrong, ARM the UK company only owns 49% of the JV, other Chinese companies hold the rest. Supposedly ARM + at least one other shareholder were in agreement about firing the JV CEO, meeting the 50% threshold. But I think you are right, if China really had an issue with something, what could you do?

The Google App store is a walled garden. How come this scam app operated long enough to get so many high reviews?
I think it's shallow, naive, simplistic, and achieves probably nothing, except making this particular narrative a more attractive social media loophole, and more money for netflix. It's based entirely on false premises.
I mean, he came up on the Baltimore tech slack, so. How do you think I found the thread?
> I am not a fan. We’re heading to naming all the major weather which happens often and is just going to desensitize people.

I agree. This is just going to turn into a media nightmare and people will simply tune out.
> But a ton of the "clean" power isn't clean.

Emphasis on a ton — not all. Nuclear basically is. And as of this millennium at the latest it’s been safe. The nuclear deaths in the US add up to a grand total of 0 (zero). That’s better than eg. wind can say — at least one turbine has burst into flame during maintenance, forcing the workers to choose between burning or leaping to death. Google’s Ivanpah solar plant has also killed thousands of birds by burning them so they plummet out of the sky (not to mention the endangered desert tortoises who lose their habitats when land is bulldozed for solar, or human injuries from falling of roofs while installing solar panels).

And of course CO₂ danger is exaggerated, most scientists from the American Meteorological Society or the American Geophysical Union for the Statistical Assessment Service (STATS) don’t believe there will be catastrophic effects of global warming (including from more potent greenhouse gasses like methane) in the next 50-100 years. And deaths from natural disasters are declining.

Thanks for the clarification. I am genuinely interested but don't know many sources to search related to chemistry.
Looking in the mirror is enough. How much did you (and me, its nit about you specifically) spent as a student? 1k/month? How much you earn after tax? 5k? So if after 10years of work less than half a million on your account you spent on uneccessary things. (Ok... its all spent for the kids...)

Why the downvote. Seriously, if we believe we need to consume less, it might be a good idea to put it into perspective what that will actually mean for each individual. I am including myself into this as well.
3 - yeah my reaction too, I imagine it will no problem, just OP's case hasn't yet reached someone who can refund that figure.

It's possible to do "trusted UI" on iOS/Android by opening a browser window that shows you're actually logging into facebook-dot-com. That still wouldn't prevent these scams from working because users don't necessarily know how to tell the difference between "trusted UI" and "scam UI".
> Environmentalists are already abandoning their field and reskilling not only because of lack of funding but lack of public attention and change.

That tells me that they weren't all together convinced/interested/passionate about it, so good for them for switching. One thing I've noticed from people who love their field of research and are absolutely convinced of it -- they don't care how much it pays or who believes them. They do it partly because ego (want to be the first or among the first for groundbreaking studies) but mostly because of genuine interest and curiosity and the desire to show the world what they've learned.
I only get an error when I click the link.
by your logic shouldn't they also seize all future shipments sent to and/or from the shipper?
Thanks - I cannot get Camelot to run in parallel (I use celery workers to process PDFs), there is some bug in Ghostscript that SEGFAULTS. I’ll try using PDFPlumber instead! By the way Apache Tika has been the best for basic text extraction - even outputs to HTML which is neat.
The main part was not a "branded" item at all. It was an LED thing where no part of the item would be listed, branded, etc. They saw them because they unboxed quite a few of them to find the adapters with the fake UL mark.

Make Tutorial Part 1 – Make and shell scripts
That's funny, because the inverse problem exists too. Many students think that teaching is all that professors do. They assume that the prof's whole life revolves around teaching their class, when in fact the bulk of the prof's job is research, supervision and administration.

Um, it is exactly the same, it’s just out in the open.

I can sort of see why this is allowed.

* Employee starts a Facebook business page using their personal Facebook account.

* They add their boss to it.

* Employee is fired.

* Boss removed employee from Facebook business page.

edit: Should still send a notification email but I'm guessing angry "why did you remove me from X" reactions are why they don't. Not good but there's a logic behind it.
A Beginner's Guide to Becoming a First-Principles Thinker
The article is implying though that actually winning money is not required for people to become addicted. It's as if you go to a casino to play slot machines, with no expectation of ever being able to cash out. You just get high in winning and losing chips, with no attached monetary value.

I wonder if an actual casino could get away with that business model.
The strangest part of this - winning is literally impossible, right? They buy chips in the game, but there's no way to turn them back into money...
If the US wants to sanction OSS out of existence, it's their loss.
I doubt many banks would refuse a charge-back considering this transaction obviously didn't use 3DSecure since it went through PayPal. You'd probably get your PayPal account shutdown if it went through though.
I agree, but avoided the term precisely for the reason you cite.
My point was that official applications rarely ever include them, not that it was intentionally placed there.
I wrote this because there are several advantages to using make when writing shell scripts, such as improved documentation, working in teams, etc.
This article makes me wonder about the value comparison between spending even $3.99 on an app store game you really like vs. buying some scratch-off tickets. They both come with an excitement factor, but only one puts a substantial payoff on the table, generally increases the tax revenue base, and gets you out of the house...
I have a VISA credit card and a VISA debit card.

I was under the assumption that the VISA debit card offers me the same protections as the crecit card but I think I was wrong...

> Are PayPal purchases covered? You are unlikely to be protected under debit card Chargeback schemes for items purchased using PayPal. In these cases the act of loading money onto your PayPal account counts as the debit card transaction so, unless the money fails to be credited, it won't be covered. PayPal runs its own purchase protection scheme which extends some cover to your purchases, but it is in house rather than regulated by law.
By all means, provide us with reputable sources that claim "the Earth should currently be uninhabitable". We'll wait.
That's pretty much everything. I feel like that's a cop-out. Just as you can't be neutral on a moving train, you can't manufacture anything that isn't carbon neutral. Something somewhere is going to do something bad to the environment. Where's the goal post and how fast is it moving?
I don't understand the step where the author is logging in with Facebook.

Was that a legit OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect log in? (In this case this must have been OAuth 2.0 with a scope giving the application write access to business stuff.)

Or was it a phishing page in which the author gave his facebook password?
Running multiple PgBouncer instances with systemd
In the UK there are regulations that require casinos and other gambling venues to block access if a problem gambler doesn't show restraint. It's much like how we would expect a barkeeper to tell a alcoholic who has had too much that they won't be served more and shouldn't drive home.

Similar addictive behaviour occurs with these apps and the games are designed to be as addictive as possible. While users should take personal responsibility, it would be trivial for these app producers to provide users with some protections from themselves.
Perhaps, but it is that 20% of error messages that leave people believing that they are unable to handle the other 80%.

Part of the problem is how error messages are presented. A lot of software uses tools like modal dialog boxes to present everything from "a file with that name already exists" to "the file cannot be written". The former can easily be handled. The latter may involve a call to technical support (and part of the reason for that is the ambiguity of the error message).

I really wish this company had some sort of product. However I spoke with them and they are essentially just a dev shop that specializes in PDF manipulation. Just to save other people some time if you think they simply have a product you can use.

Facade Design Pattern in Modern C++
The strangest part in this story for me, is that this is nothing like a casino, you can't even win any money back! It's purely spending money for spinning wheels, without the suction that you might win in the future...

> As in a real casino, players exchange money for coins to bet. Unlike in a real casino, there is no way to win money back or earn a payout on coins. But that has not stopped Shellz and her husband from spending about $150,000 in the game in just two years.

This is unreal! How can you spend $200 A DAY on a game that you cannot win anything back from? I'm having a really hard time understanding how or why these people keep playing the games.
The USSR managed to be the #2 scientific power without any of that, so I'm pretty sure that's just disguised fukuyamaism.

They're talking about Robinhood, right?
The iPhone 4 was also one of their best selling models of all time (iPhone 6 I think exceeded it).

Geoffrey Moore’s “Inside the Tornado” makes an argument that companies deliberately need to become less customer focused when they’re in hyper growth mainstream adoption.
Sometimes you have to mirror your opponent to show them they are being stupid?
I’m fine with the Apple moat. The average user is too stupid to defend a castle.
Maybe most players never get around to realizing this. In order to try to cash out, you'd have to beat the house.
"We lie in bed next to each other, we have two tablets, two phones and a computer and all these apps spinning Reel Rivals at the same time," she said. "We normalize it with each other."

Maybe just have sex instead?

It's interesting these games don't actually payout. It sounds shocking at first. But then again, if they did actually payout you'd still end up with nothing in the end if you play it long enough.

"After a long legal battle, 2 million players, including Shellz and her husband, will be eligible to get a small part of their losses back — about 20 percent for those who lost $10,000 to $100,000."

I'm guessing the company doesn't care and is probably fairly assured these people will just pump it back into their machine.

You seem assume that CBP will just trust you on your word alone. That's my entire point. They don't know what your intentions with this are, nor if you are being truthful.
> One way of promoting personal responsibility is to make people aware of a problem.

Totally agree. Movies like these or like "That Sugar Film" are extremely important.

> That being said, I believe that social responsibility also has to play a role. If companies were simply interested in making a product appealing, they would look at how well it is received. When companies start employing psychology, there is a strong possibility that they are doing so to override people's judgment (thus their ability to take personal responsibility).

They are going to inevitably do that, and that's what we should expect them to do. I don't think there are any solutions to that except building some new services / protocols.

That's really weird. I'm based in the UK and on two occasions I've had an iPad replaced outside of warranty for free and without a fight; both times they said it was because it issue was covered under EU law. I've also had an iPhone replaced within warranty with no trouble.

All three times they've just confirmed the issue in store, entered the device into their system, then gone into the back to get a replacement device.

Purely anecdotal I know, but it's odd how much it seems to differ from country to country.
I paid for my music in the iTunes Store. Why are they spamming me with adverts for a streaming service I don’t want, that they offer no free tier for?
Some basic rules and regulations would be great :)

This should of course not replace taking personal responsibility, but humans are way to easy to influence / hack to leave it entirely to market forces. Some common ground and basic rules is at the very core of any healthy society or community.

Speed limits, traffic lights and bike lanes creates great conditions for a healthy marketplace. An absence of regulations benefits only the biggest and meanest, and usually ends up creating unsustainable systems that is crushed under it's own weight.
Capitalism is destroying the entire planet. I think it wins that game.

Stop people from laying out the traps, and saying it is not really fine. Guess that means regulation and enforcement thereof. Things go both ways, of course. There is a certain level of personal responsibility to teach and take into account.
