Farmers receive huge services from wolves, maybe they should pay for them also.

Wolves remove wild grazers increasing the amount of pasture available for cattle. Wolves clean scabies in deer, lyme disease, and bovine tuberculosis in wild boars that would otherwise end in the cattle or the farmer. Wolves reduce the coyotes population. Reduce the car accidents against deer crossing the road. Wolves protect trees and allow forests to grow. Without mention that wolves provide huge and easily measurable economical benefits to tourism.
I’m unfamiliar with this. Do you have a specific link with more info?
Some of these things (price increases, balkanisation of streaming services, cutbacks to free tiers) become more about opportunity cost. I'm willing to spend $x in discretionary services, if those discretionary services go up in price or I need more of them for the same feature set, some of them have to go.

Strongly disagree. There amount of contempt people have for asshole drivers is massive. Videos of people driving like assholes and getting caught is a mainstay of subreddits like http://old.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars and /r/InstantKarma

Please rest assured that there's nothing you can do about it and that is a beautiful thing.
What are your thoughts on expanding hugo using Python?

I have similar python scripts as the OP, that handle generation and pre-processing of markdown files which then get used by Hugo. It feels hacky and something extra to ship.

Is there a way to extend Hugo or build add-ons to include custom functionality?

There might also be differences in how accurately a human or machine can model which maneuvers can/can't be done without losing traction. I could see this going either way. Maybe a human will be able to identify spots (like puddles) where traction will be especially bad, but a machine can do a detailed physics simulation of a maneuver before trying it.

In whatever way a machine does adjust its behavior for slippery roads, it will probably be more consistent at it than a human. Humans have to deal with force of habit, so for example they may momentarily forget that they can't brake hard or they shouldn't take that turn at a familiar intersection at the same speed as yesterday.
Make your website respond to the user's behavior
But when you use words like "should", you've kind of already accepted the fate that it is not.

There are fights worth having, and then there are fights that are worth walking away from. If someone starts spouting off garbage, I just walk away and cut ties with them. I'm well past arguing over stupidity. You can tell when someone is unreasonable pretty quickly. However, when someone responds in a way that says they are willing to at least consider an opposing view, I will have a conversation. I enjoy those conversations even if no view points are changed at the end. That's the way it should work. See, I just said should as well.
Instagram nixes the ‘recent’ tab from hashtag pages ahead of election

I would recommend Outer Wilds (2019) for a game that displays a real advance in gameplay mechanics. There is alot of exciting stuff happening in the indie game scene.
That sounds speculative.

Primaries are a bit crazy. But they do have an interesting effect of spotlighting different candidates, putting them under pressure l, and see if they hold up. That's not necessarily bad, but the order of contests means that when you get the spotlight has a dramatic effect on the number of votes you get.
I would frequently vote for more than just one candidate. And people who don't vote because e.g. Biden isn't progressive enough would have someone to vote for who could actually garner a significant number of votes. So maybe turnout improves too. Those other candidates/parties could then get momentum and funding and show up at the debates.

If you did it for just one election, I'd bet something like the president would get the same outcome, but local stuff with half a dozen decent candidates on the ballot would be different. Over time, different candidates winning lower races, plus 3rd party candidates for the big races being able to actually gather momentum would have profound impacts on the top races.

It would even change who shows up on the ballot. Remember in the dem primaries, all the commentary about candidate X drawing votes away from candidate Y, so they had to withdraw from the race to give their policies a better chance of winning? The whole "lanes" thing? Sanders and Warren wouldn't be splitting the progressive vote. And so on. Hell, the dems could nominate biden/harris and another pair in an effort to increase turnout, which would be suicide in FPTP. Or maybe not. I'd expect lots of changes and many would likely be surprising.

The jet colormap is horrible, I hate it with a passion, and I know its deficiencies when compared with properly designed colormaps. But I use it all the time. In certain fields (eg FEM applied to mechanical engineering), it's just one of those absolutely counterproductive standards we have to deal with all the time.

Sometimes I have tried using side-by-side figures with other colormap, usually to prove some specific point, but changing the habits of a whole field is really difficult. It is even more difficult when there is not a clear alternative, but several to choose from; I have seen a few other people using alternative colormaps too and they did not use the same as me (or I did not use the same as them).

To give a more extreme example: if a doctor has to check my cancer tests and he has been diagnosing tumors using the jet colormap for decades, I would not feel comfortable if my results were given to him using the much better cividis colormap.
He did not say "before making copies". I watched that segment, and he did not say that. Now, he didn't make it clear that he had made copies in the segment, but in other venues he did assert that copies were made.

UPS also acknowledged that the package was indeed opened and the contents missing (though they did find them later).

The point, as he admitted in a text to journalist Roger Sollenberger, was that he was convinced that someone was monitoring his texts. That may be paranoid speculation, but it is not a lie.

Not at all true. The Dutch are famously known to be blunt and direct which seems to be a national trait(eg: https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/dutch-culture-brutal...).

I don't know how a person in a matter of weeks can go from at the very least accepting (if not advocating) of the idea of genocide as an "answer" to that "question" could do a complete 180.

Look at the parties in Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission. Any state legislature (or perhaps even any state legislator) that wanted to challenge their state's initiative-back election laws could sue. I'm not that well versed in election law, but it's also possible any state citizen could do it as well. In any event, just looking at the plaintiffs in the flurry of 2020 election cases shows how easy it would be to bring a case back to SCOTUS.
Yeah, that's the narrative I fed myself since I was a teenager, and I had plenty of validation for it from family members that loved me. I was just "too smart" to sit in class bored all day or whatever. I'm trying to question that narrative. The burst of focus and creativity might be great, but I wonder if the sibling commenter is right that I could be missing out on vast, untapped potential and I might not lose the upside. I don't know.
We have a similar system for electing the Mayor of Richmond, Virginia. It's biggest drawback is that the 2nd election is needlessly expensive, and since it's out-of-cycle and there are no other elections occurring at the same time turnout is much lower. I would prefer instant runoff.
More likely just a typo due to a similar looking shorter word.

They go too far in the other direction in catering to all possible colorblindnesses. They seem bland and not much different from grayscale. Give me a perception-corrected rainbow, not these two color slimy things.
How do you come across something like that?
you don't have to have perfect information spread throughout a population to make good collective decisions amongst it. it's ok if much of the electorate is somewhat ignorant or poorly informed, as long as that's relatively uncorrelated (i.e., there's no systemic coercion of choice). but that's exactly what parties are designed to subvert to their advantage. so then, what we need to do is to do everything we can to move away from party politics, including better voting mechanisms and removing the outsized influence of money in politics.

Ask HN: Is there an open-source Git-backed multi-tenant wiki?
Hey all,

I'm looking for a wiki that have these features:

- Markdown

- Git backed

- Multi-tenants (authentication, groups and ACL)

- Self-hosted

- Open-source

Imagine a company with multiple departments. Each one of these department can ask for a wiki on the platform, manage access rights on this wiki based on departments or groups. Pages are stored as markdown files and are backed on a git directory. Each wiki get its own git repository, hosted somewhere (e.g. gitlab), meaning on would be able to edit a page either on the wiki platform or by cloning the git repository.

I've found Zim[1], Gollum[2], WikiJS[3], Dokuwiki[4], GitIt[5] and BookStack[6]. Each one of them have nice features, but none of them have mixed features in authentication, multi-teneancy or git-backed.

I'm looking forward to see how this will be done in WikiJS as multi-site support will be released in version 3 (ETA: Q4 2020), but as far as I can tell, this is the closest to my requirements.

I write in the hope that someone have an alternative to suggest or a way to do it?

Thanks anyways!

I think also the strength of signal detected has to do with the orientation of the detector with respect to the direction the gravity waves are travelling. So you can use the relative strength of multiple detectors pointing in different directions to infer the direction to the source.

The crown has to go to machine learning and neural network advancements. This builds on the increase in data and processing capacity, but it's still an amazing advancement over a mere 10 years. One may argue that the actual CS has been around for longer but I don't think that's giving enough credit to recent advancements.

Factorio is awesome, but I found that I needed to enable infinite ores/oil and disable evolution to really enjoy it given my time constraints. Adding the nesting factories mod (can't recall the name) was also a QoL improvement for me.

An open source advanced computer algebra library written in and for C#
Used stubby at Google (mainly java), and was intimidated first, then saw the light - when almost everything uses the same way of talking, not only you get C++, java, python, go and other languages speaking freely to each other, but other extra benefits - for example each RPC can carry as a "tag" (key/value?) the user/group it came from, and this can be used for budgeting:

For example - your internal backend A, calls service B, which then calls some other service C - so it's easy to log that A called B, but the fact that C was called because of what A asked is not, though if propagated (through the tag) then C can report - well I was called by B, but that was on on A to pay.

Then dapper, their distributed tracing was helpful in the few times I had to deal with oncall (actually them asking me to do it). And in general, it felt like you don't have to write any low-level sockets code (which I love)
On a positive note, doing this is a very good way to understand people. Even their bad actions make a lot more sense if you delve into some developmental psychology along with just engaging your intuition about what their inner 4 year old wants out of life.

On a negative note, I think most people convince themselves of being much more grown up than they actually are. Really it's far easier to just get meaner and more calloused to survive while suffocating the core self. Maturity is more like a deliberate and careful edifice built with a lot of work, self-reflection, and self-forgiveness. It's not a given that just getting older does that, other than the inhibitory part of the brain getting better at restraining the emotional part after adolescence. (Usually, unless trauma happens that's sufficient to get stuck in a particular development stage.)

RPC is apparently en vogue again. Everything new is old.

It’s a pretty decent implementation of the pattern though. Efficient binary protocol (unlike SOAP), built in security and none one of the complexity of object request brokers. Although you might actually want that and you’ll likely end up with something complex like Istio.

> Also, grazing cattle outside is desirable for better land use (usually grassland isn't good for much else) and keeping the current state of ecosystems (without grazing, bushes and trees will take over)

This is complete nonsense. Cattle grazing has been devastating North American habitat for a couple of centuries, and current BLM practices just continue the same abuse. The Texas Hill country is badly damaged from overgrazing, this had led to loss of topsoil, massive loss of groundwater, and completely altered habitat for native species.

In iOS 14 you can run more triggered shortcuts without needing user confirmation — I would see if this is possible for you now.

> Shortcuts isn't really automation. Its just what it says - shortcuts.

No, it's automation, in the quite literal sense. You ran into trouble running shortcuts based on triggers, but that doesn't change the fact that it's essentially a scripting language that allows you to automate tasks that would otherwise be tedious.
I agree that Burlington is overweighted, but I also wonder: we know about Burlington because in the US, jurisdictions typically make data available down to the level of how many times each rank-order was voted. Does Australia do this? Or is it possible that Burlington-like paradoxes have happened that we just don't know about, because we've only seen the tabulation-level data?
> Part of the problem was that IFTTT started charging businesses

Evidence: I run a SaaS and had a long-standing TODO: "Implement Zapier and IFTTT support". Well, I eventually did implement both, and then learned that in the meantime IFTTT changed its approach, started charging businesses, and the amounts are not insignificant. I had no idea if any of my customers actually wanted IFTTT, so I simply killed the integration and sticked to Zapier.
It is true if we assume that the point of democracy is to assert collective preferences. We can hope those preferences are informed--indeed, that sounds lovely--but this is not strictly necessary. And under the model that democracy is a collective assertion of preference, having more preference data is a good thing. Informing people is a task left to society, not to the voting system.

No matter what I did or where we lived, 56k dial up in practice was a consistent 3.2 kBps download. 128 kbps MP3s were always about 3.5 MB, which took about 20 minutes to download per track.

Because the voting system is only one of many factors that determine what kind of government you end up with. Who controls the money in Australia? Who would they prefer to have in government representing them? Are there any ways they might use their money to propagandize or lobby for favorable laws?

(I don't know the Australian answer to that, but where I live the answer is "the ultra-rich and the investor class", "Republicans, but they like to keep Democrats in their pocket, too", and "yes, and it seems to get worse every year")

2) cars are required to stop at cross walks, driveways, and other similar pedestrian interfaces. Cars are entitled to roads because roads are for cars. Otherwise we’d have sidewalks everywhere.

Definitely not true by the empirical voting preferences, however, that's not a good argument to move away from it. If we're to believe Arrow, these other systems guarantee that fate we all don't want. At least the FPTP system has a chance.

There will never be a candidate which embodies every local sphere's preferences. In the Presidential system, the successful candidate is challenged to find and espouse the most common values across their nation to complement the majority of preferences. Thus, they'll commoditize that common ideology, rejecting more niche and sophisticated ideologies which otherwise alienates those individual local spheres with disparate and idiosyncratic preferences; that is to say, ideology is commoditized in a similar manner to a big brand soda as it projects from a niche market to a more massive consumer demographic
