It's similar to how both people who believe in phlogiston and people who believe in chemistry call fire "fire" - or how people who believe in the life spark and people who don't call life "life", or how people call light "light" regardless of whether they believe in the ether, the standard model or something else.

No matter the academic discussion of what free will is or isn't, we still have to address the fact that dominoes and animals and people appear to behave according to different rules. We have to consider the difference between freedom and coercion. We have to address what accountability and responsibility means, and what makes a person morally blameworthy.

This is what people talk about when they talk about free will. That's why people can claim they strongly believe in free will without being able to articulate, or even having thought much about, how free will is instantiated.

In short: Because "free will" is a name for something we concretely observe. We may be misinterpreting what we observe (maybe it _is_ an illusion), but we still only have that one name for that thing.
> The average annual milage across the whole of the EU is 12,000Km per year, it's even lower in Eastern Europe.

I do these trips every 2 months.

My average mileage is 9,000 - 10,0000km per year.

I don't really know what point you are trying to make with average mileage or where you got that number from.

But average mileage doesn't say anything about the frequency and the length of the trips people do on their cars.

Most people I know don't have a car. The ones that do have a car commute to work via public transportation or bike. They only use the car on the weekends, or holidays.

Dutch news sites report the investment happened - https://nos.nl/artikel/2374705-nederland-liep-kans-op-miljoe... - but it's not clear where the investment came from.

Ultimately Thierry Breton was a politician under pressure so I suspect he chose his words carefully – it can be both correct that the money didn't come directly from the UK government but also be true that the UK invested in the plant - his goal was to undermine any claim the UK might have on the output of the plant

This is an interesting interview with Kate Bingham on how she approached getting vaccines for the UK - https://www.repubblica.it/cronaca/2021/02/07/news/kate_bingh...

> 73% of cars in the UK are parked on private property overnight.

Define "private property". Is a private, shared (like in tens/hundred of vehicles shared) parking a "private property" by this statistic?

I found a study [1] based on the results of a survey (2021) from the European Union that states:

> Several conclusions can be derived in terms of the significance of driving patterns in relation to the potential use/substitution of a larger portion of the car fleet with electric drive vehicles. In particular, the average distance that is daily driven in 6 members states ranges from an average of 40 km (UK) to an average of 80 km (Poland). Such distances can be comfortably covered by battery electric vehicles that are currently already available on the market. Further R&D improvements in battery systems could ensure that the “range anxiety” factor is minimized. Considering the long recharging time of the energy storage systems of an EDV, the duration of the parking profiles is a good indicator for the estimation of potential recharge time availability. In our survey it has been revealed that the parking time after the last trip of a day amounts to more than 16 hours per day. This duration is more than sufficient to comply with the potential need for a full slow recharge of an average EDV battery. Also, almost 10% of the drivers in the survey park in a private garage or their home, places where a recharging point could easily be installed. The active parking time, defined as the parking periods between which the car is used during a day for several purposes, amounts to 6 hours.

7 Tips for Cutting Down Your AWS Kubernetes Bill
Then a follow up question: Why are the scrapers on FB, Twitter, etc. so dumb? Why can’t they fall back to <title> if <meta name="og:title"> is missing? Why is it my job to make things look nice on their platforms, when all the metadata they require is already there?
There's usually a lot more nuance to the "slightly wrong" aspect.

Sometimes it is something minor the person just isn't well-versed in. Then the response seems to be proportional to how big their audience is; the bigger the audience the larger the transgression, the "you should really know better".

But then there's also little hints at some more deep-seated issues, things where I'd also find an excuse to leave as soon as possible when I met someone like this in real life. The most common thing I see there is someone considering a group less human because of some arbitrary reason (race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity), and I don't mean the constant unwilful ignorance fueling microaggressions (I am though one way or another affected by that, they're mostly annoying and rarely uncomfortable enough to end a conversation) but very clear disregard or even disgust for some demographic.
All your buoyancy comes from non rigid devices (vest, suit). As you go deeper those devices compress and you lose buoyancy causing a feedback loop. Compounded with loss of vertical references, you can quickly sink to the depth where the air you breathe will become toxic. At that point you don’t have the mental capacity to save yourself.
> Do children who attend daycare eventually develop a much stronger immune system?

I would say so, yes. Your body remembers what viruses it's already fought, and will remain primed (for a significant time) to fight it again. Kids exposed to lots of illnesses when young, should end up with a more robust immune system in adulthood.

This is why chicken pox parties are a thing.

There's something romantic about a long road trip, unbroken and unplanned. Call it an outlier experience, but everyone should have one once. It's American to the core. You get in the seat and head out, first watching the familiar pass away. The first time your GPS says stay on this road for 400 miles, that's when the trip starts. That's when you accept it. You'll see whatever comes - open ranges, mountains, trains that span longer than you can see, bison that wander onto the empty road. You'll listen to whatever is on the radio. Nobody will tell you what to do next. A spirit of freedom comes flooding back, and you remember that you aren't just an ape in a box working for the next planned fun, but a human, a natural explorer, and you feel a bit more like yourself. Music is awesome. You spontaneously pull over to snap a picture and take a leak, just because you can, and nobody is around anyway. And then it hits you - bliss. Quietness. No more inner voice. Just sounds, sights, and sensations. The wind. The rest of the road trip after that is a bit different, and the passing of time doesn't matter as much. It's like when you go on vacation - it's not until the third day when you really settle in. For these trips, sure you're trying to get somewhere, but that's not what it's about. You could fly if you wanted to. If you legislate drudgery into this, or take away from the experience in any way, you're robbing others of something special, even if it's not your thing. EVs don't cut it yet - they require more frequent and longer stops and more overall planning. But I hope they improve because their silence is nice.
The website has an interesting line of code:

This is pretty cool. I could host my development environment on my desktop PC and using Termux, ssh into it and use vim as an IDE.

I can also forward ports so I can access things from my browser, though no debug, console, network tooling. There is an obvious lack of tooling - a full fat Linux desktop would be much better equipped, but it is incredible that this is possible at all.

I'll experiment with this.
Is there a story behind this? I expected something based on the title.
Certainly. There’s many cards that provide promotional 0% interest rates for 12 months. The idea is every 12 months you sign up for one of these cards and you can make minimum payments with no interest, when the card is reaching the end of its promotional period you just pay it off in full and don’t use it anymore unless there’s good rewards.
What is measured that is never used is effectively never measured at all...
Seems like an illogical assumption. What it shows is just that having a dysfunctional (again, quite understandable in this case!) CEO can subtract value, which is not the same as an ordinary one adding any. Maybe Tom Hanks's pal Mr Wilson would work just as well as all the other ones.
Wow. Thats expensive. I just checked and in LT there is a car sharing network, where you use cars on demand, and here one week rent for VW T-Corss is 125€. 379€ for month. +0.2€/km (fuel is included in price)
QM can also only "look" random. If human- or machine- intelligence cannot recognize a pattern and cannot predict an outcome doesn't mean another being should be the same.
Sensible advice, but my thought is that what everyone really needs is practice. What's the standard way to find a bunch of people willing to listen to a pitch?
The two biggest things with alpine hiking are probably weather and not turning around when you should. (I could probably add just being grossly ill-prepared like lacking map and compass and perhaps depending too much on electronic gizmos.)

Over the holidays I was reading a book about a winter fatality on Mount Washington a few years back. The person was actually very well-prepared and fit. And even had some big mountain experience--but always with guides. And simply went out on a day she should never have been out on.
I very much agree with you. It would be amazing. We even have the ".app" domain extension. Apple don't like the idea but I think it's great.

Assuming you already have an MVP...

They threw a pile of cash at you and your quest is to spend it smart. Some of it will go to distribution, but not much before there's a clear PMF. So most of it is going into the product. That means people.

I solved my eye strain by dimming my screen, putting a screen protector and using sun glasses. The sun glasses part sounds a bit silly and I probably should use real "hacker" glasses but they seem to work fine. I'm not sure exactly is there UV light that the glasses are blocking or is just the regular light that causes my eyes, after a long session of programming, to get blurry.

But anyway this setup has really reduced my eye strain and I also fall asleep easier.

EDIT: And to be exact, I had all of the sudden serious eye strain at the time when I started using these. Somehow it had gotten to a point where I couldn't even look at the screen anymore without my head hurting. And I'm still relatively young with normally a good eye sight so do not take these things for granted!
In addition to regulated industries that require this because they are life critical, there are applications with legal requirements to host data in the same country as users and vendor X may not operate in that country, plus military applications where the threat model includes people firing missiles at your data centers and spies and saboteurs infiltrating vendors.

Just because they happen less frequently (which I don't know if this is the case) does not mean that they are not an issue.

I don't know how the situation is in the US about these things, but if these problems do not exist there at all, its normal for Americans coming here and seeing it happen "occasionally" to freak out about it.
See also the Sam Vimes boots theory of socioeconomic unfairness (from Men at Arms, 1993):

> The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

> Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

> But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

I plugged an nVidia Shield box into it instead and all those problems went away.

Can confirm. I tried a bunch of different things (even the OUYA), went to support smaller companies (Wetek) but it was all one big mess and impossible to have a couple of days pass by without a crash of either the viewer programs or just the complete OS getting stucked. I feel sorry for them, but really this thing should be like a plain analog TV which worked (in my area) fine every single day for decades. The Shield does this for me. Think I had one crash of the local TV streaming app in the past months, for the rest it has been working flawlessly for years and didn't even have to replace the remote's batteries yet. That is how such dedicated hardware should just work.

I wasn't even (only) refering to the US. I was trying to bring accross, that it's quite nice to live in Germany and that it does not need to be dominant or proud of anything as a nation. I was trying to list benefits Germans take as a given, but are actually not available everywhere in the world (which has almost 200 countries btw, not only US + Germany). As far as I know, US also has breathable air and is somewhat save in most places. It's just that the unsafest place in Germany is probably still safer than almost everywhere else in the world. The basics are okay in Germany and they matter, even if you don't think about them day to day. If you want more, go on and build it, nobody forbids you to do so. Society just provides a nice baseline and even tries to catch you, in case you fall.
Most car manufacturers sell trucks, vans, etc as well.
The usual Gell-Mann way - when they write an article about a topic you know very well, you see whether you find it "mildly annoying" (because there are always small inaccuracies or papering-overs that seem a big deal to us), or "hilariously bad", or "so outrageous the writer ought to be fired". The quality of the other articles you aren't qualified to judge can then be assumed to be in a cloud around where you judged this one to be.

I’m sorry but I don’t quite get how company policy would impact this interaction with a coworker, in practice.

If they are showing prejudice or treating you unfairly it is them that should be reported. It must be a pretty fucked up workplace for the opposite to happen?
I was debating disagreeing with the equivalence with alpine hiking. As I said in another comment, it's mostly about judgment when it comes to alpine hiking. Although perhaps that’s the case with diving as well. Of course, get more into mountaineering and there are a ton of factors like avalanches you can't fully protect against. (And there's of course some overlap with winter hiking in the mountains.)

ADDED: re: fitness. I've definitely had to take people down when I've been leading a trip and even had to turn a group around. But so long as you don't push on past where it's safe, it mostly just means people don't get up the mountain. (Of course, it can be a problem with canyons.)
Hopefully they do, because it is.

I bet you think the economy is the same as "a business".
I expect it will take many years until the mentioned technical specifications become regular standards. I would be very surprised to see a third edition of ISO 10303-1 within the next eight to ten years. From what I've seen up to now is that SysML might get a similar position as UML in the todays version. Even if there is a feasible mapping from SysML XMI to EXPRESS, the official description language will still be EXPRESS in future editions of the ISO 10303 series. Fads come and go; we saw this with UML, and we will see this with SysML; SysML is simply not suited to replace EXPRESS, even less than UML. I bet that in seven years at the latest, SysML will be eclipsed by a new fad.
Oh for sure they're doing exactly what they should do, but America will likely be approaching vaccine-induced herd immunity by the time the FDA begins to consider the results of these trials.

It may have a bigger impact in other nations, but hopefully they'll have ramped up their vaccine programmes in the next 6 months.
Monzo seem to be pursuing upsell as a strategy. As a customer it's becoming quite annoying to constantly be asked to upgrade to "Monzo Plus" or the even more ridiculous "Monzo Premium" offerings.

From the outside it appears like the business is now focused on the US retail market - replacing Blomfield with a CEO based in the US certainly sends a strong signal that they've more or less given up on the UK retail banking market.

Honestly Java has come really far and is actually not the worst to write anymore. Lots of new language features being added all the time.
I don't see why you'd think font:menu is appropriate for the general body of web content. Menus are a UI element that normally contain just a few isolated words or very short phrases. Recognizing words in such a context is not the same as reading textual content on a page. A font chosen for one may not be well suited to the other.

If your issue is that many browsers default to a serif font, and you really dislike that, maybe setting font-family:sans-serif would be better? At least that's intended to be suitable for content, rather than UI.
> Why not pump some billions in local unskilled wages and stricter enforcement of regulations so that foreign workers won't have to get exploited by unscrupulous German businesses?[1] That would be for an actual good reason IMHO.

Modern German economy is practically built on exploitation of foreign workers. First there was a slave labour during the WW2, then the exploitation of foreign workers during the "economic wonder" time after the war. Until now things didn't change much.
Tragedy of the commons :(
I wonder how many weird deflationary forces are acting on this economy. Fed buying mortgages causes people to get into debt for their house, ironically they end up consuming less, which drags down inflation and the cycle repeats endlessly with no hope of inflation going up to justify increasing the interest rates.
The web interface was the main reason I never really used the tool for more than a few test runs. Writing code in the browser combines bad usability and performance with a lack of useful dev tools.

Which brings me to the question whether I can edit the code in a text editor as well or I have to write it as shown in the animation. It would be really helpful if there was a shortcut to open the current (code) section in $EDITOR, kind of like Git and other tools do it.
