Why it would be treated seriously, especially after they blatantly lied about supposed bomb? And obviously fake bomb threat from Hamas of all things?
You forgot the main mode of transportation in there: pedestrians. It would be quite absolutly horrible to have bikes doing whatever they want.

> because our legal system grants it as such with copyright

First and formost because scientists are forced by contract to transfer their IP right of the publication to the publishing company if they want to publish there.

> if abolishing copyright meant a more vibrant music and film industry

Copyright as such was originally a good idea and was intended to provide authors with an income. But it has been corrupted over time like so many things (e.g. patent law) so that today the artists and authors benefit the least. Big publishing companies and collecting societies profit the most. So it's not copyright that needs to be abolished, but the opportunities for abuse.
I'm not sure that's true, the monarchy in Italy was relatively modern and short lived, preceded by a patchwork of republics with wonderful election systems.

Here's an example of how the elections for Doxe de Venezia worked in the Republic of Venice[0]:

> Thirty members of the Great Council, chosen by lot, were reduced by lot to nine; the nine chose forty and the forty were reduced by lot to twelve, who chose twenty-five. The twenty-five were reduced by lot to nine, and the nine elected forty-five. These forty-five were once more reduced by lot to eleven, and the eleven finally chose the forty-one who elected the doge. Election required at least twenty-five votes out of forty-one, nine votes out of eleven or twelve, or seven votes out of nine electors.

Inkscape is garbage. I downloaded SVG map of the world from Wikipedia. Used bucket fill to change color of one country, it failed (it created new shape that barely resembled country but was inaccurate, as if someone traced it by hand). I mean what's the point of vector graphic app of it cannot do basic operation after two decades of development. It's not like I wanted to do something obscure.
Google’s new Fuchsia OS arrives first on old Nest Hub
They were already testing it for years since they almost never enforced fining people who never purchased anything.
I think it would be cool if projects/repos had a .envconf or .envsetup that described how to setup the environment in order to compile,run, and develop the software. So that different IDE's could use this information to automatically setup the workspace/environment.
Agree for intelligent discourse about a slow-moving topic. Disagree for conversations about personal opinions (most of forums), especially ones with time context. When you post on a three year old thread, everyone else has left the room. That's fine if you want to share how you finally got this old sound card working on a specific OS, lame if there was a lively discussion about working at Lyft versus Uber.
Watching day9 explain Starcraft 2 build orders opened my eyes to the powers of recognizing and optimizing for constraints you cannot do anything about, as well as the importance of scouting (I.e. experimenting for the sake of learning), as well as how losing teaches you more than winning.

1) I am not supporting also this one, especially as it was a sad case of vassalisation

2) Refusing to allow use of airspace is different from hijacking plane and abducting people. If someone is using "state piracy" only for the second one it is entirely defensible.

EDIT:

3) at least in this case I can say that my country (Poland) was not complicit, though probably mostly because they were not asked by USA to do so.

4) Plane was not forced to land, but landed due to technical malfunction

> pilots requested emergency landing due to issues with fuel level indicators and thus inability to confirm sufficient amount of fuel to continue flight

Though problem was triggered by France, Italy, Spain and Portugal refused to allow transit.
If you force someone, you truly measure them.
Yeah, in a town near the one I grew up in, there's a street called 'Butt Hole Lane'. That made me laugh a lot when I was younger, even when my parents explained to me what the 'Butt' in this context meant.
It's not Pocket's business to know what I want to read. Never used any of those services and never will unless I could self host it. However I understand that it could be convenient for a lot of people. Anyway, I suspect that the user base of Firefox is getting more hostile to this kind of services as the number of users shrinks and they get more concerned about privacy. To Mozilla: you either push for privacy or you push for Pocket.

I kind of self host by parking interesting pages in new tabs and read them later. I've got more than 100 tabs open in my Firefox on Android. They're also a replacement for bookmarks.
Hopefully now it will deteriorate even more.
It might also lead to significant poisoning/extermination of wildlife other than rats. (Feral cats are cheap and “all natural” for example.)

Looking at other FOSS OS efforts competing against Linux on the hardware space, I imagine that long term it might not be Linux per se, rather POSIX that will win out, with Linux being one among many.

I mean stuff like Zephyr, NuttX, mbed, RTOS, Azure RTOS.
Looking "native" on Windows is a very difficult thing these days. To me classic Win32 is what "looks" native whereas all their modern apps like Mail and Calendar don't look native at all even though they are.

Office is native but has its own, unique look and feel that is different to other native tab interfaces built into Windows.

And don't get me started on context menus in Windows (ironic given this story). The design and items on a context menu is so inconsistent it drives me mad at times.

Consistency in Windows is a real pain point imho. I would love for Microsoft to just stop adding more crap to the shell like some weather or contacts fly-out and just spend a year getting everything consistent with a good, modern light and dark theme that works everywhere. I know it is easy for me to say that though.
> The characterization of UBI as "free stuff" is a non-starter...

There isn't any negative emotion associated with free stuff. Free stuff is great.

The issue is that there is pretty solid social ... I don't want to say understanding, perhaps suspicion is the right word ... that giving out free stuff hasn't ever worked well.

So the political faction that likes the idea of free stuff comes up with a reason that this scheme will work - trying very hard to come up with a framework where people get to consume stuff without necessarily having to do the work to produce an equivalent amount of stuff.

Much like a perpetual motion scheme, the system gets more complicated to the point where eventually nobody can explain why this specific system can't work ... but there is a core relationship here that needs to be broken, and the debate needs to centre around whether it has been broken this time. It cannot be hand-waved away. The enormous costs associated with a UBI are an important factor and there are questions about whether it can be sustained long term.
There are any number of email sending providers with API access - Sendgrid, Mailgun, Mailjet, etc. Amazon SES is the most cost effective, but you'd need to do more setup youself vs. one of the API senders.

Normally I'd agree about Googles track record. But they HAVE to innovate in the android/mobile space. It would be their death as opposed to just dropping a random messaging app.

And they did all the "from scratch" work. It would be short sighted to not let zircon at least have the potential to replace Linux.

Apple vertical integration strategy recently took a big step forward and googles response may well be this.
I'd say banning Belorusian airlines after Belorus hijacked a plane (and kidnapped passengers) is like having your kid kidnapped and proclaiming that the kidnapper isn't welcome in your house.

> You could extend a compiler to do it but then it wouldn't be C++, strictly speaking.

This is tautological. C++ has subsequently added all sorts of features, including new operators and keywords. It chose not to actually fix arrays, either when instituting std:array or since. "You can't do that in C++" would have been an equally reasonable thing to say about the spaceship operator (and then C++20 added that), or a for loop inside a constant function (and then C++14 added that) and it remains today just as reasonable a thing to say about various features we can expect to see in C++23 or beyond.
The old world had a lot of STDs, but nothing as destructive as syphilis.

Notably, when syphilis was introduced into the Old World population, it was described as a very severe acute disease. It only became more chronic after a period of adaptation that took several decades. This might have made the initial societal reaction more extreme.

Don't get me wrong I agree.

Not much different the plane was forced to land in Austria. Also this was a diplomatic mission, unlike commercial flights they had absolutely NO jurisdiction to act like this.
At the moment I have settled to publishing a version that only works on Apple Silicon devices (via iOS compatibility where I use translated bytecode). I will think hard about this, perhaps I will end up doing as you suggested :-)
With global HIV deaths in hundreds of thousands each year, but less evenly distributed and more stigmatized, will this vaccine be given emergency authorization as well, or is it likely to go through the full 10 year process?
Is there a problem?

More interestingly, Star Trek had one episode and then some recurring references covering the idea that you can clone someone in a transporter without dissolving the original copy. You would expect a large number of people to want to do this, but it just never comes up.
You could install uBlock Origin, then click on its icon in the top bar, then click on the JavaScript icon to disable JavaScript on the current website.

If you want to disable it globally and forever, spending some time in the settings once doesn't seem too annoying.
I‘ve heard that 6 weeks without a drop of alcohol should be sufficient for the liver to recover. But it is very important to very strictly not consume alcohol. Just reducing alcohol a little bit will help nothing.

The NHS is of the opinion that 2 weeks suffice.

But how often do Lukashenko and his circle actually fly out of Belarus anyway? He already had no problem with closing his own borders before anyway, so it's not like this is going to seem like a strong move to him and it only really hurts the Belarusian people.
The only things in Belarus that are profitable are IT companies.

What standard of living is considered baseline quality? Would an internet connection be included in baseline quality of living? I know this is HN, and everyone is microoptimizing their day schedule to fit in time for their side projects, but you'd be surprised how many people would be completely comfortable with living a basic life with basic food, shelter and some internet access.

Now there's nothing wrong with that, but someone still has to work for the UBI to work.
You did it wrong. In a vector drawing program, you do not change colors using the bucket fill. You should learn to use a tool before complaining it does not work.
Not just that, the Israeli attack on Flotilla to Gaza in 2010 that left 9 people dead on the ships.
Latency means you can't hear what you're doing. This is especially important for drums and transient sounds because playing with feel will move the beat by around by a few ms. Adding a fixed delay to that makes it more difficult and adds cognitive load. Adding a small variable delay makes it impossible.

No one cares if your pad sounds are a little late, but variable latency absolutely destroys drum grooves, sequenced electronica, and the kind of super-precise playing needed for good classical piano.

You might think most people can't hear the difference. And they can't. But - as with other audio production values - they can feel the difference. Tiny variations in timing are the bedrock of many kinds of musical expression. If they're not there, people notice.
One such project is REAPER. It includes a lot of useful VST plugins.

Why is there no one talking about some sort of military response like literally building a base at the bielorussian border with fighter planes that would prevent such equally military actions like that.
Neat. If this works as advertised (and it seems to), this rockets it past the capabilities of Glitch when it comes to language support.

I had to do a fair bit of work to get anything but node running on Glitch, and since then it seems like the performance limits and startup time have gotten a lot worse, making it more and more painful to use. I have an Elm framework for slideshows I use there, and was constantly frustrated by my editor timing out every time I alt-tabbed and taking ages to reload.
They hardly have any airlines in Belarus, may be only one Belavia may be of any significant size.
I'd suggest the TIOBE index really isn't the proper metric to be using.
It takes quite the effort to consistently worsen user experience ignoring any user feedback and defending dubious telemetry as if it were a godsend. I am aware this does not contribute to discussion, but after more than half a decade I'm just too tired to keep up with whatever foolish design choices are taken, I don't want to be an hostage of software I use anymore. Floating tabs that occupy precious vertical space in nowadays wide monitors, and can only be shrunk with usercss because compact style is out of the way? Empty spaces and padding all over the place? Everything feels dumbed down to the lowest common denominator for no purpose but look trendy—and useless. Truth is that this browser simply is not fitting for the "power usage" it was famed for, now actively going against its users and keeping all actual user feedback away from bugzilla, where they are promptly deleted or labeled as off-topic. Swallow the ungoogled-chromium pill for now, I suppose, with another set of anti-user chromium design choices and lack of first-class features such as the most basic ever "MMB to open a new tab", ignoring the glaring engine monopoly issue. What this browser is today deserves its <4% usershare, this I say as an user since 2.0.
I find using macOS with a keyboard near impossible.

One of the issues is how hard it is to discover what the right keybindings are.

Second issue is that all the keymappings are different to Windows/Linux/BSD/AnythingElse.

Like, in the setup wizard when you open a new mac, hitting "return" won't move you to the next step, you have to hit tab, and then space. However, near the end of the setup process, there's a screen where tab doesn't work, and you actually DO have to use return.

I'd had carpal tunnel (and it's kind of a chronic thing), so using a touchpad to point-and-click is literally painful for me. A mouse is okay, but it seems to be impossible to connect bluetooth devices on macOS without using the touchpad.

There is difference between hijacking plane using fighter jet and refusal to allow transit. Both with blatant lies as a pretext.

Ask HN: How to get started with TPM (Trusted Platform Module)?
I'm currently reading the Practical Guide to TPM 2.0 [1]. It's a good book. But, I just want to get into the programming (C) part. Even the StackOverflow [2] has just 10 questions regarding this. Can you please recommend me some TPM2 programming resources which are beginner friendly?

I'm with this person. Let the professionals do the heavy lifting in terms of email delivery. You just worry about setting things up correctly in terms of DKIM, SPF records etc. The services mentioned all have dashboards to see the amount of spam complaints, so you can keep an eye out on that.

There are also some best practices to keep in mind when sending system emails like this, like not using that same system for marketing emails since they're more likely to get flagged as spam.
In the mean time, perhaps France would consider adopting the approach used in many German cities whereby monthly pass holders are permitted to take another adult and 3 children for free during evenings, weekends, and holidays. [1] Many German cities also offer cheaper subscriptions if you only use public transit after 09:00.

This is great if you have a visiting friend, or a partner/family who do not have monthly passes but want to go somewhere outside of business hours.

The RATP still considers weekly passes valid from Monday to Sunday and monthly passes valid from the 1st to the end of the month. They do not sell passes pro rata (e.g. if you buy a monthly pass on the 10th, you pay the same as someone who bought on the 1st), nor do they offer 7d/10d passes. They recently introduced Navigo Easy to replace tickets, but this is limited to trips in zones 1-2. [2]

The fact that RATP are still this inflexible in 2021 does not give me confidence they can become more progressive.

Wow finally! I have to admit while I love Firefox using it on macOS just feels crappy as it is so out of place. I am a huge user of the macOS "Look Up" content menu feature and it being missing in Firefox always frustrates me.

As silly as it sounds this might just be enough to get me to use Firefox as my main browser on macOS. I have played around with Nightly recently and love the new UI design. Can't wait for this to hit release.

Sure, the data might be bad. That's a sensible objection - I think the question it raises is 'what's your data'. Like, what are you devil's advocating, on what basis. The 'quality of data' question applies universally.
Then again, most MS applications have never looked "native" on Windows either -- it seems each team has always gone for their own style and UX.
I think there's also mixing up "less/worse than average" with "less/worse than my share", and an uneven distribution makes those pretty different. There are some very good dancers doing a ton of dancing. So if you dance, it's probably a below average dance even if you're a slightly above average dancer. It might also be why so many people think they lie less than average. There's a minority that just lies their pants off, so most of us are telling less than our "share" of lies.

This is not exact, the EU ban decision is not taken yet. see link here: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2021...

"- calls on the Council to adopt the necessary measures to ban overflight of EU airspace by Belarusian airlines and prevent access to EU airports of flights operated by such airlines;"

decision has still to be made by the council, and then - to my understanding - implemented by all member states one by one. It's a typical example of media interpretation of facts.

See here https://en.belavia.by/news/4674378/ -> Belavia confirms UK and FR banned, but it was their decision.

Hi there, it depends on how much e-mail you need to send in a specific timeframe and you want this service to be free and secure.100 e-mail per day is free forever at Sendgrid (https://sendgrid.com/pricing/). SendInBlue is even more cost-effective (https://www.sendinblue.com/pricing/)
