I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, I certainly don't want to be held hostage by my car.

On the other hand, a pricing model that makes the sale price cheaper and loads more of the profit into optional add-ons is great for me. So long as I can get from A to B, I'm happy with zero options and a cheaper car.

My family recently got a new car, and as part of the sale, the dealer activated trial subscriptions for all sorts of things, blah blah this, blah blah that. I don't even remember.

I do like some of the software features, but they're the ones that are not by subscription, such as the thing that keeps me from driving off a cliff. I'm not getting any younger, and don't mind a little bit of help.

You set your initial goals low, so you can achieve them, especially if you’re depended on public funding.

It’s a great successes story, if they flew and met all their original goals, and then just try to extend it. It’s much different story, if initial plan would be for example for 20 flights, but it’ll break after 15th. Then you have failure, people questioning why we spent so much money on failed mission, etc.

Plus, it’s easier to ask for $x billion dollars for the mission, meet all the goals and then ask for few extra $ to support extending already proven and successful mission, then to ask for higher amount from a start.

Android could be called Android/Linux as Google replaced most of the GNU GPL licensed stuff with BSD licensed alternatives, often self developed (bionic, surface finger, binder, stagefright, etc.) so that they (and vendors) are not bound by GPL obligations and can sit on one changes for ever if they want to.

Kernel is the major thing under GPL left and while there are some theories they might want to replace it with the Fucsia micro kernel I don't think they have a chance in hell given the ministered and number of parties involved in cooperative Linux kernel development.
I think you got it mixed up, because the second paper is not

> "glucose = bad because of glycemic response? Nope!”

but rather:

“glucose = bad because of perceived sweetness? Nope!”

There are sweeteners that do not activate insulin (like stevia).

I am not aware if the converse exists though (not-sweet-tasting molecules that activate insulin).

Their case in the paper is that fructose is not "bad" (like glucose is) despite of being very sweet-tasting.
You fundamentally do not understand the definition of totalitarianism which is why, you, simply lofting that word at everyone in every direction to blanket disparage things you don't like results in 90% of your comment history being greyed out.

I know I'm wasting my time here but here is the first three definitions of totalitarianism I was able to find :

(emphasis mine)

> Britannica: Totalitarianism: *form of government* that theoretically permits no individual freedom and that seeks to subordinate all aspects of individual life to the authority of the state.

> Google : relating to a *system of government* that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state.

> Dictionary.com : of or relating to a *centralized government* that does not tolerate parties of differing opinion and that exercises dictatorial control over many aspects of life.

A business is not a government and you are using the term in a meaningless context so you are going to have to forgive everyone else for pointing out that what you are saying makes absolutely zero sense.
> I personally think that individual commits are mine and nobody should care. They help me. They're not meant to live forever

But they don't really help when reviewing because they're hard to make sense of. But if you want to make a large change in a single commit, then why not just stage the entire thing as a single commit in the first place. You can address review comments by amending the commit and force pushing it.

By breaking it down into sensible commits, it makes it easier for the reviewer to review your change by filtering it by commit, so that they can see a subset of it.

> You also deliver smaller chunks of changes so customers can give you more fine grained feedback

Some of those changes involve some degree of refactoring. Typically, I'll separate the refactor part from the implementation part as separate commits. If I were to just make a PR that just did refactoring, then how would I justify merging it and deploying it to production?

Also, making a bunch of small changes and merging them separately takes away the association between them, unlike what you get by keeping multiple related commits in a branch.

"How do you kill your animals with respect?"

It can and should certainly be done with respect, but industrialized process being what they are means that the absolute minimum is paid to doing so (as always, economics gets in the way). Thus we need stricter laws to force operators to comply (if left to their own devices they'd do nothing).

As I pointed out in my earlier post, animals are sentient beings so I'd add here that it's not just a matter of dispatching an animal quickly, we also have to consider that they are very aware that other animals around them are dying (especially so if they can see the execution process happening). However, it's not nearly enough just to keep the process out of the site of waiting animals as they've a much keener sense of death in the air than we humans have.

We therefore need to take this into consideration so as not to alarm or frighten them. It seems to me that we've still a lot more to do in this regard—as the welfare of the animals ought to be paramount but all too often it's not.

(That's not a call to veganism, rather it's a demand that we be kind to all living creatures even if we have to eat them for food).
Funding yourself is like representing yourself in court, you get a naive investor who doesn't know anything more than you do and doesn't reign in your dumb ideas.

While the rest of us need to get funding from experienced investors who vet our plan first. In a system where there are investors looking for people to invest in, this approach is bound to succeed more.

As LineageOS is just a rebuild of the Android open source bits it's still Google that dictates the overall direction.

Client state indication helps for things like suppressing presence updates, but it doesn't go as far as to e.g. let you only be notified for messages that would highlight you in a large MUC, right? So either you're joined to the MUC and receive all messages in it, or you leave the MUC and don't get notified about any of them.

Although now that I read the spec again, it seems general enough that maybe it could be used to implement behavior like that? I don't think I've seen any servers that do, though.

Excellent turn of phrase. Some of the bugs will have to be fixed in production but some technical debt you'll just be stuck with.

You're overly generalizing?

Nobody says that ketones "replace" (without any detail) glucose, only that ketones "replace glucose as source of energy".

And that is correct, as the citric acid cycle accepts ketones as input for the production of ATP.

Moreover, the body scarcely use any glucides besides as an energy source, so I don't really see your point...
I'm with you there. Hopefully legislation will keep up.
So you have to keep paying regular subscription fees to use the full capabilities of your car? LOL sure, I can totally see how that's going to work out.

> What’s the meaning of „the Sabbath prohibition against operating electrical devices“?

The point is about the act of creation. Creation is the key point in just about all the laws. Turning on/off a switch, with intent, is an act of creation. Be it light, a spark, heat, or moving an elevator. Intent increases the severity of an action surely. Bumping into a light and turning it off, as long as it lacks intention, is more of an "oops, my bad" but you can't accidentally bump into it again. And if it's a common occurrence, you probably should address that issue since you know it will happen (you can't set someone up to fail).

> ... might be indistinguishable from the perspective of the user...

And yes, perspective matters, which is one of the reasons many observant avoid it. If you see someone in front of an elevator (or TV, for that matter), an outside observer would assume you're pressing buttons and breaking the law. Since others may not know about your clever work-around, it's better to avoid it, so they don't see you getting the benefits of the work-around and then doing it directly themselves. This avoids others saying "I saw an observant guy get in the elevator and part of an elevator is pressing buttons, so pressing buttons must be OK".

The door sensors of elevators are another problem. On many with a shabbat mode, they only activate right before closing the door, but it is easy to make a mistake and the doors will re-open. This is another reason they are avoided by many if possible.

> telling a liftboy where to go seems to be ok...

Telling a liftboy is not okay. You can't order someone to do something that they wouldn't have done on their own that you aren't permitted to do yourself. If you're forbidden from turning on a light, asking someone to do it turns them into your agent, which is the same as doing it yourself. But there, like many things, is a work around. If you handed someone a book for them to read, and it was dark, you know they will want to turn on the light. But since you're not asking them to turn on the light, you're asking them to read a book -- if they turn on the light, you have no agency in that action.

In the case of a lift boy or attendant, if you walked into the elevator and said something like "I live on the 7th floor" it's debatable if you intend for the person to press the button. If their job is to press the button, then it is an issue, if it is a non-employee, it's probably less of an issue. Even here, there are nuances like intent and context. If you're younger or more healthy, it's probably better to take the stairs. If you're in a high-rise and even healthy people would have issues taking the stairs, it's probably more permissible.

Then, even in a high-rise, if you're going down (which is easier) then maybe the context would be different enough were the same circumstances that permitted you to use it going up aren't available for going down!

As mentioned by others, the circumstances and context really matter along with the perspective of yourself and those around you. That is why there have been countless books and discussions on some seemingly simple matters.
> There are quite a few that don’t interact with global customers and literally never have to even discuss those things.

Then there really is no need to even have merge commits. But, as far as I know, there no way to disable the creation of a merge commit when using the merge button on the github PR page.

The one thing you lose with just making one PR per commit is the relationship between a set of commits used to implement a feature. One commit involves some retractoring to make it easier to cleanly implement the feature. The other commit would be the feature and tests, and the last commit would be to add calls/references to that feature.

If these commits were kept in the same branch and merged in a single PR, then it would be easy to see the relation between them. If they were merged as 3 separate PRs, then it would be more difficult to see why the refactoring was done, especially if PRs for unrelated changes were merged in the interim.
Now if it would have YAML front-matter... The nice thing with front matters is, they can populate meta elements in the resulting HTML.

In know this is tangential but I had been saying that he was in Abbottabad since 2007. He obsiousky had to have left Afghanistan and Pakistan was the only neighboring country where he could go. He had to stay in the mountains for protections but also had to be in a large city since he needed dialysis. Abbottabad Is literally the only place that fit the bill.

I've spent no more than $50 on mobile software in the last decade, but more than $1000 for desktop software. The difference is that mobile apps are cheap and single-function, but desktop software is feature-rich and expensive. So even if I buy a lot of apps, I still spend more on desktop software. That is an anecdote, but I expect it's broadly true for the wider population.

Even for games, I wouldn't blink at spending $50 on a PC or Nintendo Switch game, but for some reason I would never spend more than $5 for a mobile game.

You don't think this is exciting? I couldn't care less about what causes a surge in demand, but if there is substantial pressure on the HDD manufacturers to improve any of the following, consumers will only benefit:

* lower price points ($/GB);

* speed;

* size;

* availability / supply.

Of course, it will suck in the short term if HDDs become much harder to find, but that should only last as long as the manufacturers believe this to be a short term trend.

Based on the way you are using terms, you are correct, nobody's existence can be politicized. If they are alive (although possibly sick, in jail, or deported), they exist so there is nothing to discuss. If they are dead, they are dead, so there is obviously nothing to discuss.

Putting those semantics aside, the point was, some people's lives are affected by politics (I'd argue all are) and you can't expect them not to talk about their lives, including the effect of policy and politics on them. Well, you can, but apparently 2/3 of your workforce will decide that's not cool and leave.

Sure, but The point was how Bitcoin and crypto would “work” when traditional legacy systems fail.

Relying on HAM radios and satellite links are both legacy systems and we can’t pretend any significant percentage of the global populace could conduct Bitcoin transactions without centralized 3rd party services subject to the same regulations as the banks, much less use HAM radios, especially the poor and unbanked who always seem to be the goto demographic the proponents of cryptocurrency point to as the people benefiting greatly from cryptocurrency.

It’s on par with saying when supply chains fail we have farming, hunting and gathering. Very few people are capable of getting fresh water much less living off the fat of the land.
