Ha. In my case it was 700€, took 3 people and 3 hours, a crossbar broke in half and afterwards the security door needed to be replaced anyway (because at the end they cut it open with an angle grinder). All that at 1 o'clock in the morning. Nobody of the neighbors cared or called the police.

That's one way to map that to XML. But there are a dozen other ways to map it as well, and all equally (un)usable.
Unlike XML you can simply escape control characters in JSON and "almost any non binary solution". Prohibiting this is a weird misfeature of XML.
A valid criticism of YAML is that it requires a very complex parser compared to XML or JSON. E.g. there's plenty of JSON and XML parsers to choose from for each language, but either none or only one YAML parser, and those add a non-trivial complexity to projects.

(XML and JSON are in the same bucket for me, both are simple to create and simple to parse, YAML on the other hand...)

> Similar for insurance, car insurance in many European countries is done in 1 minute online just an update to a database. In the UK you need a sticker on your car, people that check the stickers etc.

You don't need any such sticker in the UK? There used to be a sticker for road tax, but that was done away with. And having a road tax sticker on car windscreens is common across Europe - there were worries at the time the UK got rid of the sticker that motorists would be stopped when on the continent because of not having a sticker.

If anything the truth of your example shows the opposite from what you intend.

Admittedly Samsung might be able to ship with their browser as default. I don't remember what browser was the main one when I bought my last phone. They most definitely have to have Chrome installed (and probably as the system web view) like the rest of the Google apps if they want to ship with the Play Store.

I don't think it significantly impacts my main point.

There's a bit more to it, though. XSD keeps backward-compat with XML DTDs, and XML DTDs, in turn, keep compatibility with full SGML DTDs (XML being specified as an SGML subset). Now DTDs are usually required in SGML unless you're using XML-style canonical markup without omitted tags and attribute names. What makes them required in regular SGML is that element declarations carry tag omission indicators instructing an SGML parser to infer contextually required tags. Tag inference in SGML is deterministic; that is, the parser only considers start-element tags that are required and end-element tags for definitely completed content models at the context position. Also, in the presence of tag omission, an SGML DTD is required even for parsing (for example, HTML cannot be parsed using generic XML rules but needs element-specific content and tag omission rules).

So the design rationale for XSDs to retain backward-compat (what's responsible for XSD's "unique particle attribution" constraint) leads to a different result compared to RNG. By contrast, RNG is a "clean restart" working only for canonical XML-style markup, and is always optional (and only used for "validation").

One could argue XML took away what makes SGML a true authoring format to result in only a canonical delivery format, but these were willful design choices when XML was subset from SGML.

Now as to whether XSD's or RNG's format for grammars are prettier is a moot point. IMO there was never a reason for using an alternate XML syntax for SGML/XML DTD regular expressions/regular content models. Eg compare your example with it's equivalent (simple, compact) traditional element declaration:

<!element book - - page+>
Sure they did -- the old guard of Daniel Stone, Peter Hutterer, Adam Jackson, even Kristian Hoegsberg, they were all Xorg hackers before Wayland was a thing, and only a few had ever worked at Red Hat.

Option 2. Or am I missing something?

Is it more polluting to manufacture or transport glass? If it's transport, our trajectory is heading to EVs, so that would leave the cost of recycling/manufacture which seems like it would scale well and also benefit from lowering costs of green energy in the long-term.

This sounds like the actual problem is lack of jobs and bad economy. The employers are increasingly picky in their selection of people and people compete for increasingly higher degrees.

If economy was good, employers would have to be less picky, leading to people more likely to decide they dont need to compete over signaling.

I run OpenBSD with dwm and st and love it. I triple boot, so I mainly use OpenBSD for things that it works well with, then use Linux or Windows for their strengths. I think it is a case of use the right tool for the job. I use OpenBSD on most of my servers, so it is nice having the same environment for development. Lots of things don't work on it, but I love the things that do. Pf, httpd, relayd are wonderful. Upgrades are super simple, and I don't need bleeding edge packages to make good software.

As a side note, I feel like my workflow has improved in productivity, because I've been forced to think about how I do things, and change, which leads to insight and improvement. I discovered a lot of command line utilities that are more productive than what I was doing on Linux when I used them because they're "pretty".

> Anyway. I quite like this idea of no JS. I know he said it would be evil to serve ads using MJPEG, but I'd probably prefer it if my page had less JS on it.

Honestly I don't see how it's more evil, just because it doesn't use JS surely doesn't mean uBlock and such can't still block it? To be evil all ads full stop would have to be evil. As you say, I would much prefer this to ads that use JavaScript. If you can still show me ads on your news article when I haven't got JS enabled I'm not going to be too bothered, because hopefully everything should load plenty fast. It also means the rest of the site can load while the ads are loading.

There’s an entire snake oil industry built up around it now. It’s completely out of hand.
Given that many industries and governmental agencies are required to have accessible content it follows that if they do not move off of YouTube to a solution that provides the accessibility features they would be open to being sued. (obviously this is more relevant in regions where accessibility is more mandated by law and has appropriate fines for non compliance)

> Sure, they are expensive, and many students pursue useless degrees, but is it that big of a deal? Most people really enjoy going to college for the social experience. It's the first away from home experience for most young adults.

Yeah, the thing that it is expensive and simultaneously all too often primary referred to as "social experience" is issue. Because people don't want to pay that much money for social experience. Experience of being away from home, frankly, is absolutely not worth that much money. It just does not give that value. If you ever leave town, there is gonna be time when you are away first time. And if you dont leave town, well then you dont.

Non college educated students, which is the majority of population actually, somehow so without expensive social experience. So I think that college educated minority should seek more and colleges themselves should provide more to be worth the price.
And I think you are underestimating how hostile space is to life. Tardigrades can make it, to some extent, for a limited amount of time. Doesn't mean all life is invulnerable to near absolute zero temperature and constant radiation. Add to that the temperatures a meteor reaches when they crash through an atmosphere, granted without much an atmosphere there isn't much to generate friction. Yet the impact would still be devastating.

It's certain we still don't have enough data to make any conclusions about how easy it's for life to spread. I'd wager it's less than expected yet in our galaxy, my guess would be that either hundreds or dozens of planets/moons contain life. Depends on the statistical distribution of the occurrence of life.

As I said, for me it is not about the experience. I just want to run Linux on my phone and be part of the journey. If I have a working terminal, that would already be cool.

The thing with the PinePhone is that it is not very easy to buy. Say I get used to the PinePhone as my daily driver for having a terminal in my pocket. And then it breaks. Then I am f*cked and have to wait weeks or months for a new one to ship from Hong Kong.

If we were at the point were I can just go to a store, buy a phone and put Linux on it - I would start right now.
> We selected palm recognition for a few important reasons. One reason was that palm recognition is considered more private than some biometric alternatives because you can’t determine a person’s identity by looking at an image of their palm.

We're still building coal power plants right now. See, eg, "Japan Races to Build New Coal-Burning Power Plants" from Feb of this year (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/03/climate/japan-coal-fukush...).

One imagines once Amazon starts cataloguing palms, quite a few government and law enforcement agencies will suddenly tend to have quite a lot of images of palms!

I expect they were trying to contrast with face recognition, though.
Sounds like palm prints are even easier to harvest from public figures than fingerprints. Take a photo at a speech, you can likely make a silicone mold replicating their palm, and you get to shop for groceries with their card.
This seems unlikely - if a specific number of bits in a standardized floating point representation would imply relevant calculation errors, Nasa would certainly not use it.

Sure, if 24 bits were already sufficient, they would not go out of their way to avoid the extra 8 bits. So in that sense you're right of course. But it's not just "Hey, single precision floats are 32 bits, so why don't we just use that!"
IMHO what's more concerning is 'quitting smartphones' - it's pretty much impossible to have online banking, use e-gov or even 2FA on Google without a phone number.
We do not know that it is the primary vector, though. We know that the fecal-oral route is also a vector, one that’s historically a big problem in nursing homes, and plays a nontrivial part in spread through food preparation (unlike e.g. with flu which is essentially all aerosol with short life).

The spread data is not properly reflected in recommendations IMHO and likely for political and politically correct reasons.

Preaching "the only thing that matters is how hard you work" probably demaged more lifes than COVID will ever do. What about supply and demand? ("selling sand in the desert" might condemn you to failure no matter how hard you work) What about alliances?

I used to believe in pure meritocracy also. Nowadays, at least on a individual level, I have solid doubts. Suppose you are in a position to promote/reward one of two contenders: a "jerk" and your best friend. The "jerk" happens to be better (by your standards), but not clearly better. Who should you reward/promote? By the meritocracy law this is a no brainer but is it the right/optimal decision? By doing it you will erode a friendship. Do this often and soon you'll be without allies thanks to the "God of Meritocracy". By the other hand, if we go too far in this path, we arrive to Nepotism and society will suffer with it. Like most things in life there is a balance that must be kept.

The website is a publication of a right-wing think-tank. The author pre-supposes his conclusion, that regulations are wrong, and works backwards.

You can see the same thinking in his previous articles, as you noted.
At this point I feel like products are named One when the product manager and marketing people are having a bad day and want to just be done with the naming discussions already.
Yes, the powers which could regulate do not have any interest to do so.
At Google a large set of people seem generally upset that you have try hard to get promoted. There seems to be an idealism that the system should somehow drag the best people upward while they keep their focus on doing the best work.

Well yeah, that would be nice. But it's both impossible and useless! Promotion is a game, you can't win if you don't play. You do not have to be a ruthless opportunist, but you have to be willing to spend some of your time advocating for yourself and making some allies. Compensation (in money or status) is only used for retention so unfortunately many of the people who are not wiling to play the promo game are not willing to play the job market and therefore the company has no rational reason to increase their compensation.

The article is, imo, far too cynical about IC promotion. But it does have some good points about manager promotion. Manager incentives are very poorly aligned with good outcomes. An exceptional manager can get promoted without resorting to bad behavior but a mediocre manager has to do all of the things in the article (grow team too fast, steal credit, jump projects) to keep up.
This rings true about history and philosophy in my experience - but with politics, every week the subject and narrative are different, and by the time you’ve resolved this week’s fake news in 6 months time, there have been 20 more lies and no one cares about that one thing from 6 months ago.
Having lived in both expensive and high tax cities like SF and NYC, I never got the sense that my tax money was being wasted in NYC like I did in SF. Everything is better and the city is always improving itself in NYC. Where does the money go in SF?
Most people work to make an income. Self interest as prime goal is implied by the very nature of working for a high salary earning position for some generic big co. Someone brings these strategies to the local charity owned thrift store then sure, you have a point.
At a guess they are probably saying that a human when looking at a picture of a palm would not be able to tell you who it is, unlike a picture of someone that includes their face or body. Seems a bit of a pointless distinction as the Amazon Go stores heavily rely on cameras to track people when in store.

Well, free press also means that you shouldn't be forced to consume media you don't like.

But media you don't like being produced at all is perfectly compatible with a free press, including dislike because of influences and pressures you disapprove of. (In some sense, it would be extremely surprising if you liked all the media being produced.)
