I tried to duck "Sperry Font" images.

Found "Cholo Sperry". Is it this?

EDIT: Please ignore above, I searched for "Sperry Terminal", and found these. Yes, I remember the fonts from like 30 years ago.

I think we see things very similarly, and I also hate the language of "over compensated" as it implies there is some arbitrary fair level of compensation.

On the other hand, financial institutions in America have received a lot of compensation that was not "fair", it was just handed to them by governments. If they had been competing fairly most of the major banks in the US wouldn't exist anymore.

We really have not had free capital markets since 2008. We have centrally planned rates, centrally planned liquidity, centralized buyers in debt markets. It's really a mess and very few of the outcomes of this system are fair by any metric.
Oh thank you, that's quite nice actually! Will keep it in mind next time I get my hands on a mac.
So you are better off with D in these cases.
People adapt, consumers too. If Uber or Lyft were to vanish from the face of the earth tomorrow due to regulations, some other business would probably pick up where they left, serving the demand - because after all, there is demand for ride-hailing services.

Question is, how much are consumers willing to pay?
There is about 25 local breweries in my area in germany. Half of them predate WW1, some are almost as old or even older than the United State of America. The town I was born in had a "micro brewery" run by monks since around the 1200s, the only reason they write "196x" is in part because it was destroyed during the thirty year war in the 17th century and then again during WW1 and WW2. The church never had much more than 20 people there and since atleast a hundred years the brewery is run by less than 3 people.

> > We estimate that these laws prevented only 57 car crash fatalities of children nationwide in 2017

I would say that is a gross oversimplification. It depends a lot on country, on safety "area" etc.. For instance most European countries have much stricter laws around car safety (e.g. in Germany you have to get an extensive safety check every couple of years) and driver licences.

Regarding bicycle helmets I think this is much more a function of when the cycling culture developed in the country, e.g. in the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark biking has been a common way of commuting for a long time (way before helmets came about) and helmets are not that common, while in Sweden for instance most cyclists were helmets.
they collaborated with ikea on a very, very cheap hackable speaker so their stuff is not always overpriced. maybe the exception that proves the rule.

Because it adds friction to what both drivers and riders want to be an easy, smooth transaction. Sidecar tried this approach and had their lunch eaten by Uber and Lyft.
I don't think it's entirely true in the south either, there is plenty of breweries around here, though granted a lot of them sell their own brew + brew from a distributor to balance their sheets. Many small towns have their own brewery, even if it just services the local tavern/restaurants with local + brand brew.
I thought before reading it it is about male infertility because of seat heating...

But pray tell me, is it true that three child seat do not fit on the back bench of a typical US car? I find this hard to believe. Btw are kids allowed to sit on the shotgun seat in front?
Versus what languages with proper GC support?

Plenty, decrease in productivity, basically back to Objective-C before GC/ARC, or doing COM in C, lack of support in GUI designers that need to always map to the same types, and building on top of that a big attrition for component libraries.
I'm interested in Google Home functionality, and I like the Google assistant the most when comparing it to Siri and Alexa. It seems to better process non-generic questions and commands better than the other two.

What I'm not keen on is a cheap box that doesn't have enough RAM, so that it'll end up lagging. I don't understand why there isn't a premium model. I also don't want to dangle a weight from my HDMI port. That's probably how the HDMI ports broke on my last TV. I also would like to have volume buttons on the remotes. A mute button is nice but not enough. I'd rather trade the youtube and netflix buttons for real volume control buttons.
I wish I'd paid more attention to the details of how things were back then, to the glowing amber VT220s and Laser 128s. It didn't seem important... why would the future be worse, not better? And yet, somehow we're here....
On the other hand, how many kids are killed by huge SUV's bought to fit the third child seat where the driver can't see a children in front of their car?
or in support contracts more accurately, which would disappear if others would bring ability to support those (by access to same source code and ability to fix bugs)
Probably because it's a bad criticism? Really the only solid criticism in his comment is pointing out the charcoal usage, albeit quick Japanese wiki lookup on kotatsu show some conflicting information too.

- Pesticides: counter arguments based on anecdotes without factual backing that is not refuting the core argument either. (Straw-man)

- The specialization point in sewing: Straw-man. Sure specialization existed, but that wasn't even the point of the original argument. (and sewing was more to fix bought clothes; because they were too expensive to replace every-time they became unusable)

- laundering clothes: again Straw-man, and also mixing up "hand washing your cloth" today compared to back in the days; it's not that hard to imagine that the condition of the cloths, the tear and wear, material of the clothes etc is pretty different from now.

- People didn't live in remote area: factually incorrect (except the energy for laying roads).

The political touch in the end just shows the true biased color of the criticism. The article is not perfect but those criticism are at best anecdotal counter examples, with nothing to back it up.
When so first went to the UK years ago I was so surprised with the lack of bread you had over there. Stores would have a small bread section.

In the Netherlands the bread section in the supermarket is like half the store. And there's bread in every choice you want. White, whole-grain, sugared, with seeds, with nuts, with patterns, and funny shapes.

I'll admit we eat way too much bread here.
do you know that netflix, amazon prime video etc are viewable throug kodi?

Rust being relatively new and shiny language compels everyone who just learned it to use all the features as often as possible. I keep falling down this hole too.
It's also been on Apple TV and Amazon's Fire TV for a long while now. Agreed, it's not novel. However, maybe Google's recommendations are better? Google tends to have the best AIs.
Good advice for any language. Write it correct first and optimize what’s needed.
Agree with you. Not sure what this page doesn’t cover https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/in...
> ...the helpful speaker that’s all about sound

Really, that's their product differentiation?! What do they think other speaker manufacturers are focusing on? Smell?
> devolved into a sea of posturing and marketing oneself

Don't think it's devolved at all this has been the norm from the 80's onwards (perhaps earlier).

Look at how fractured open source is today and the sort of egos that come with it everywhere you look. While the points made in this article are valid, it's great that someone is incentivising people to interact with various projects rather than do their own thing rather than climb blindly up the same treacherous mountains others have done long ago.

Hey, also why not rewrite it in rust :)

Being a contrarian is easy, fixing these well acknowledged problems is hard.
I don't think the OP is arguing the merits of the argument. The OP is pointing out the hypocrisy in the founder using political tactics to pressure another entity into complying with his principles, while prohibiting his employees from doing the same. Disguising the latter under a "no politics at work" principle seems hypocritical when the founder himself is engaging in politics at work.
I never considered the possibility of wearing a helmet on a bike in non-competitive settings in Italy. Only after I moved to the UK (and had children), did I start using it regularly. To this day I’m not sure whether it’s compulsory or not, but most people have it, so...
8000 fewer births per year is excellent from an ecological standpoint, though.
Should have a "(2014)" tag.

2 major language revisions have been released since this was recorded.
There's a simple solution: don't connect your TV to the internet and just use its HDMI ports for a separate streaming box.
I meant the other, other speaker. The one saying "Who cares? Your turn, Sundar"
If you don't understand their methodology, you probably shouldn't be attempting to critique it.

Why is it that internet forum commenters think they're qualified to examine the work of professional researchers who have spent years if not decades studying in their field?

Edit: y'all are totally right, apparently a teenager who hasn't even completed their bachelors (in AI/CompSci) is qualified to read a public health research paper because they "demonstrate an understanding of statistics."

This is functionally indistinguishable from mothers who jump on the internet and think they can read, interpret, and critique research papers on vaccines. "THIS PAPER DOESN'T CONSIDER THAT MERCURY IS TOXIC!!!"
You just think you have that right, but really it’s an opinion you hold strongly. My opinion is different from yours on this, and I certainly don’t think we’re about to persuade each other here.
Hi Andrenotgiant -
Could you not limit submissions to only labelled issues?
That way it’s opt in and you reduce spammy PRs.

Many maintainers put “Hacktoberfest” labels on issues they’re happy for newcomers to work on.
drm (at least widevine) is supported in kodi
The problem with GC languages is that if the requirements (or data sizes) change and you run into performance problems related to GC later (e.g unacceptable pause times or high heap usage) then it is extremely hard to get out. Often the only choice is a complete rewrite of time-critical parts. There is a whole world of difference between a Rust program that does clone() occasionally to escape borrow checker strictness and a Java program that allocates 99% of stuff like crazy on GCed heap.
when pixels were the size of barn doors..
could someone do that on a 4k screen still (without magnifier tools)?
I find your attitudes to be reactionary.
Reasons for that assertion?
Great book to put boring abstract algebra class at uni to use. Also explains all the code via concepts. If you read and understand this book, you'll be the C++ programmer of 10 years in the future.
We regularly detach replies to the top comment that aren't really replies to the top comment. But of course we can't do that in every thread.

> Reddit does it right by auto-folding comment trees

That doesn't address the "faux replies to top comment" problem unless you auto-fold at depth 1 (i.e. collapse away all replies to every top-level comment) – which feels like too much auto-folding to me.
You seem to assume reducing fertility is a bad thing, hence the tradeoff with a small increase in safety is not worth it. I personally disagree. Reducing fertility rates across the world, without impacting personal freedoms, should be considered paramount.
The point of facts isn't to offer a point and counterpoint that fits anything in particular. As best I can see all the things above and in the OP are simply true?

The number of times I've had to explain that our food comes from natural gas... these things are important, like the amount of petrochemicals we use for fertilizers is many many power plants worth but they're also integral to our survival but that's also because of history and the complexity of it is really just kind of important to grasp. At least in a science class.

It's not that reality is especially good or bad, but it is reality. We are reliant on monocultures that are mostly produced by one company with absolutely ridiculous IP policies to resist pesticides also made by the same company that we fertilize with oil. That is how it is. It should probably be different, but any deviation from the local stable point is terrifying.
I’m a bit sad they didn’t take Apple’s approach and use USB to recharge the remote. With Apple TV I just plug it into the wall once every 6-9 months for 30mins. No battery waste.
In Europe as well.

Can't seem to buy anything without added sugar.
True, but every now and then when you accidentally run tree against your entire ~/projects directory, it finishes in a fraction of a second lag-free. Even my old terminal emulator of choice, urxvt, couldn't match that.
It’s confusing because you have so many dimensions of scale - labor input, land use, water consumption, etc - that you can point out advantages to almost any approach.

The last century has seen massive farms using high tech kit, in part because they can lobby for grants and subsidies more effectively. They are not water efficient as a rule, and they tend to suffer inefficiencies because the people managing the land have no skin in the game, but they are profitable because they can move large volumes of produce and get their machinery paid for by the government.
Fully agree. I paid to purchase hundreds of songs on Google Music and now I have to migrate to Youtube Music which won't let me play those songs without ads and without keeping my phone's screen on unless I pay for a subscription.

I already paid to own those songs. Why do I now have to pay a monthly subscription to keep using them?

Thanks but no thanks, Google.
It’s not that foreign to experience things like this. Just flip a switch with an LED or Incandescent bulb - notice how instantaneous it reacts to the switch action. Then do the same with fluorescent bulb with a ballast.

The world is full of instantly reacting stuff. From writing to playing ping pong, we expect a certain amount of latency and no more. That’s why soft suspension cars are not fun (even if their performance was great, it’s not) because so much of driving pleasure comes from the tactility and Human-to-Machine interaction - basically brain seeks faster feedback so the control loop is tight.

:) Enjoy the physical world. It’s amazing.
In germany, being allowed to call yourself "beer" has quite a few legal requirements. Imported beer is largely exempted on account of EU law if they don't write "brewed according to german purity law" on the bottle, but locally brewed beer must adhere to strict rules on what is permitted to be put into it.

Originally that essentially meant hops, wheat, water. Nowadays it may also include sugar, natural color enhancing, salt and simple preservatives.

Many "tasty beverages you would call beer in the US" barely qualify for a drink in germany, either because it tastes like water with a drop of beer or has almost no real taste at all (ie, tastes artificial with flavor). That's on top of the poor water quality in the US that contributes to a (IMO) chalky and flat base taste.
Just like software systems legal systems should probably get "refactored" once in a while. But just like managers don't really understand that need, politicians don't either.
I've been using this for a couple of months, I find it pretty fast. I haven't figured out though how to open links by clicking on them. Have been copying and pasting the text into the browser
The rest of gp's post exhibits good understanding of statistics. I suspect they're actually more qualified than "internet forum commentator". And it's good to be honest about what you do/don't understand, the fault could be in the explanation...
Temporary or permanent disability is also important.

As I won't pay Elsevier to read this article, I can't evaluate the (likely) methodolgical failings. Even major journals sometimes let papers with significant methodological flaws through, (e.g. the disastrous mistake of publishing the vaccine-autism fraud, which has cost many lives).

I do retrospective research of a different kind, and struggle with making causal inference from non-experimental data. This is an inescapable philosophical and scientific problem, and the very fact they talk about a "causal channel" (novel verbiage to me, btw) raises an eyebrow.

As a starting point, the publisher, SSRN, recently sold out to the Elsevier monster. SSRN, according to first line of its FAQ, "is a platform for the dissemination of early-stage research."

Why is this research "early stage?" I suggest it simply failed to meet submission standards for more reputable journals. This is hardly breaking news, likely just low quality work.

If I cared more, I would also, in addition to reviewing the actual article, check the credentials of the authors for bias due to religious, business, funding or political affiliations.

The authors force us to consider the competing implicit demands that people may procreate without external constraint, and that all children's welfare is to a degree the responsibility of society. On the first, what law doesn't (somehow, via a "causal channel!") affect people's ability to procreate?
Hi Harini here, I lead technology at Antler, a global VC. We built this for internal use at Antler and decided to open source it as we felt lot of startups can benefit from it and avoid having to built yet another admin portal. We are actively working on adding features and improving the project.
Why does it speak worse of her?
I found it to be a pretty major inconvenience. Air travel in particular was quite inconvenient - having to either bring along car seats or otherwise arrange for them to be available on both sides of the flight.
Because internet commenters do not have other incentives at work like getting a grant or being tenured.
Tell that to reviewer #1 and see how far it gets you.
True, but I expect that only ~2% of programs to ever run into this problem
It isnt hypocrisy. Employees are not prohibited from working and campaigning on the company mission.
It's not compulsory in the UK to wear cycle helmets.

There has been the occasional attempt to pass such a law in the past, but none were successful. Cyclist organisations are very averse to helmet laws, seeing them as marking cycling out as some unusually dangerous activity, which in turn has an inevitable negative effect on cyclist numbers.
No, not surprised, well aware of that.

We should really get started developing alternatives. Cement is a tough one, probably the toughest industry sector at all. For steel the swedish companies SSAB+LKAB have a very ambitious plan using hydrogen. I hope they succeed doing that.

That said and as othes have noted: Aviation is 2% of CO2, but a much larger share of overall emissions. I was surprised to recently learn that this is scientifically underresearched (particularly effects on cloud formation) and it may be everything between 4 and 7%.
It is not the way that every other terminal, or indeed terminal emulator, works; nor is it relied upon by "everyone".

For starters: Softwares that use terminfo, and anything built on top of it such as ncurses, only use this for one specific terminal type, linux-16color. No other terminal type in terminfo changes colour this way.

The idea that boldface and blink change colours has been on its way out since the 1990s. XTerm has had the ability since 1997; and while its XTerm personality does not, its UXTerm personality defaults to boldface meaning boldface. Of course AIXterm, at the start of the 1990s, had SGRs 90 to 97 and 100 to 107, and did 16 colours that way, not with boldface. The Windows Terminal issue shows some of how far this notion has extended in the more than a quarter of a century since.

It isn't a VGA world any more, and people aren't assuming VGA semantics any more. Ironically, before VGA, in the world of MDA et al., as seen from the SCO Console, people didn't assume these semantics back then, either. There has been a sea change. boldface means boldface. And blink actually means blink (or nothing, depending from what one's views on blinking as a GUI mechanism are).

In the Netherlands there are two levels of sales tax (BTW); the high one for "luxury" goods - 21%, and a low (9%) one for necessary stuff. A lot of goods are necessary, and there is no need for the country to profit from (after all, the sales tax goes to the government, not to the shop owner).

You can also use sales tax to nudge people into buying more healthy food. The fact that hamburgers and chips are cheaper than a salad and fruit is something you can correct somewhat by moving junk food to the higher sales tax.

And I personally also think that the judges might have taken into account that this seems like yet another multinational that wants a tax cut over the heads of the normal companies. The news that Mr President pays nickles and dimes as income tax where John Doe pays tenfold nicely paints the picture...
That's not legally sound. They can claim to have still been providing the services you contracted for (whether you used them or not) and get a court judgement against you.
Really depends which supermarket and which location. The large supermarkets have a large choice (though you are right, not on par with the French, Dutch and Germans!). We do have a lot of local bakeries though which fill in the gap left over.

Now compared to the US (and I'm sure there are areas where you can be well served) it is a desert for bread. You may get the odd 'artisanal sour dough loaf', but the very fact it's shipped from california and will last 2 weeks makes you wonder!
Actually we just focus our efforts on making sure everyone has potable water.
A Hacker News account might be a more effective method.
TBH - if your code is not speed sensitive you might as well write it in a slower language like Python which is more productive.
Not everyone else has. NY's graphs, of both disease and death, are similar to Sweden's, and SURPRISE it doesn't have a 2nd wave either.

All I need to say that is that they did something different to postulate that the result might be different (and so far, has). I acknowledge there is no proof either way, but you are just putting hands in your ears and saying "I can't hear you, my position is right by default so there". This argument is over as far as I am concerned.
Because there are statistics, and there are bad statistics. Indeed, only professionals are qualified to make studies, but anyone having at least a basic understanding of probabilities and statics can point out a badly thought out one.
Don't all terminal emulators have the ability to display something though?
Come to think of it, I believe those brands for dumb, cheaper TVs exist. Check out Sceptre TVs. I will make sure I grab one for my next replacement.
Understanding statistics does not mean you understand science or public health or research.

"It wasn't explained to me, therefore it is invalid" is not valid.
I'd encourage everyone to try each individual component of junk food one time. McDonald's is really bad. The bun is as sweet as a cake. The only ingredient with any real flavour is the gherkin. There's no need to eat such bland junk.

As for Subway, did anyone actually think that stuff was bread. It doesn't even look or feel like any bread I know.
