That's true - it's also worth explicitly noting that when the EU does make law directly, that is still done in a fully democratic way.

The fact that that EU laws can override national laws does not mean that the EU Commission has unilaterally imposed law without consent. Law changes must first must be approved by the Council - comprising heads of state - and then by the EU parliament, consisting of directly elected representatives from all member states.

I know you weren't asserting otherwise - I just wanted to provide additional important context for those who wouldn't otherwise be aware.

I don’t think anyone is saying that the savings in bureaucracy are so great that UBI wouldn’t be a net cost, but that the cost may be less than one would expect.

Also having gotten clued into modern monetary theory from The Deficit Myth lately I’ve come to question all the hand-wringing about cost. If the government can just print however much money it costs to pay out a UBI, then it’s more about controlling inflation with a significant increase in deficit spending, not about if a (monetarily independent) state can “afford” it. Taxes may be a part of that to drain money from the general supply and incentivize work, but it’s not necessary to pay for it.

Sort of. That requires the system to work in a consistent and logical manner. It seems many judges don't act consistently or logically, so the outcome may be unknowable. There are so many laws, some of which may even conflict, that the judges can pick and choose which one takes priority or how to interpret them to influence a case.
This post in which he declares that he isn't white nationalist https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/2007/11/why-i-am-no... is full of weird apologist asides and reads like "I'm not, or maybe I kind of am but not, but I can see why some people are, and other things are bad too, and maybe this isn't so bad".

"So we see that, at present, in the real world of 2007, there is no coherent moral or practical reason to shun white nationalism."

"I am just suggesting that there are many bad reasons not to be a white nationalist."

Then he proceeds to explain that the white nationalist view of the world is silly because it has two sides and doesn't confirm to his five sided race war view. This post is a seriously bad take. Language and words have power and this is the kind that could reach people on the fringe and bring them into the fold. If you have read this thing, does it not give you pause?

Here, 30kph is the default for dense city streets, with 50 for the larger roads where bikes get their separate lanes and 70 or higher for large roads carrying large amounts of car traffic where bikes cannot go.

The best solution is a mix of efficient road design, isolation, and speed limits where they make sense (which is pretty much everywhere except the through-roads). A large amount of 30kph bike/car roads are fine if the road network and city zoning is well-optimized.

I have thought about that a lot, so much of software is ephemeral, and I find I can never talk to anyone in the real world about it making it feel even more ephemeral.

I don't intend to retrain exactly as I do love software, but I have been trying to work with software that interacts with the real world more often, and I have been adding lots of hands on skills to my skill collection.

Working in robotics or automation could potentially be a decent blend of software and the real-world that still has career prospects, and if anyone has any suggestions on more hands-on software industries I would love to hear them.

Now even his supporters have to make every foreign flight through Moscow as a constant reminder of what great relations the potato czar has with rest of the world. Dictatorship are very sensitive to image issues (see Winnie the Pooh).

On the practical side, it starves Belarus of overflying fees. The stunt will cost them hundreds of millions, and hopfully further targeted sanctions will make whatever's left (and funneled into their private accounts by the regime) more difficult to spend.
And just another FYI, but you need to remember that an SVG is a structured document, where the structure may or not be obviously reflected in how it is rendered. I'm not sure which SVG you were playing with, but for instance if I grab https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Politica... and then ungroup the top level (or 2nd level on some objects) I can easily select whole countries "colour" and manipulate and change them. And that particular file has grouped non-contiguous nations like Indonesia or Australia properly associating the islands. But as others have said here - your issue is nothing to with Inkscape but the SVG you have chosen and how you expect it to behave.

Ah! :)

I've seen something a bit like that: moderators who would come down hard on people who ask a question, both in an old thread or a new one (because the first time they were told not to create new threads or not to necropost so they tried again, following the advice, in the opposite manner), by telling them "why can't you search the fucking forum 2 minutes before digging an old thread / creating a new thread, stupid; this has been answered multiple times: here, here and here; topic locked", and of course none of the links he gives does answer the specific problem the posters had and clearly specified, because the mod didn't spend the said 2 minutes reading the posters' questions and just stupidly copied the first search results in the rush he had to punish the intruders. So, when you hit the same problems as the posters, you are out of luck, because their questions were not answered before, and they will never be.

Not only air travel. Sea travel. A thousand years ago there was an entire backup continent (the new world). And plenty of isolated communities were decimated when explorers came and brought alien diseases. Air travel just accelerated the process so that pandemics can spread within days rather than years and the effects can be seen in real time.

In the PowerShell world: "-WhatIf" is your friend.

To implement this in your own scripts is not difficult at all. The template snippet below automatically wires up "-Confirm" and "-WhatIf" support:

[CmdletBinding(ConfirmImpact='High',SupportsShouldProcess=$true)]
PARAM(
[parameter(ValueFromPipeline=$true,Mandatory=$true)]
$TheThingToProcess
)
PROCESS {
if ( $PSCmdlet.ShouldProcess( $TheThingToProcess, 'Do scary thing' )) {
# Scary step
}
}

That even wires up the full "[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend" logic, so you don't have to track boolean variables all over the place.

It also passes through that preference to commands invoked witin the script, so things like "Format-Volume" will do nothing if you invoke the outer script with "-WhatIf".

What is stopping them now exactly? If they know that your family all of a sudden had, for example, $500 more per month, they will simply raise the rent for $500. Similarly, your hairdresser knows you have more money so he will charge more, your mechanic knows you have more money so he will charge more etc. ad infinitum.
I fail to see any logical reasoning here. This research suggests an unspecific alteration to your immune system. It affects everyone who gets vaccinated, not just researchers.

If you are young and healthy, there is a high chance that getting infected with COVID is harmless. Your body will deal with it in the natural way. Furthermore, the risk of getting infected at all is not 100%. I could make the same argument here: There are more important things to be worrying about than COVID.

The lens doesn't matter nearly as much as the sensor. A wider aperture on something that collects 1/10 the light isn't going to match a DSLR. Even the slow 3.5 maximum lenses that come with most DSLRs will beat the 1.8 on an iPhone just because the sensor is 10x bigger.

I understand that this came across as rude, but I'm not trying to say that Germany is a Kafkaesque hellhole. I love Germany. Simply this - there is no 'good faith' defense when breaking rules in Germany. If you have the wrong ticket, it doesn't matter that you tried to buy the right ticket and were sold the wrong ticket. It's your responsibility to have the right ticket, regardless of the actions of others, even other employees of the same organization. If you didn't know the rules, that's your problem, even if the rules are hard to understand.

In Italy, I have seen the 'good faith' defense taken to extremes. "If you didn't want me to do (this clearly illegal and unapproved thing), why did (some other person in any official capacity) do (this very benign and pro-social thing which could be tortuously misinterpreted as an endorsement of the first thing)??" In Germany this doesn't exist. In some cases like the middle door of the bus, it will almost seem like entrapment. (The correct behavior would have been to go to the front door of the bus and require the driver to open it.) In many cases, it is only a pain to those who don't understand the system. Often, it is fairer since 'let this one slide officer' leads to discrimination by the officer.
They said 'not everybody', which is not an absolute construction.
That happens too often! A lot of places where I try to use a really long password will silently truncate it, but different forms will truncate at different lengths, so what might work for registration might not work for login or changing the password later.

I’m always suspicious when sites cap passwords at < 32 characters, that almost always means it’s being stored in a reversesble format someplace - maybe encrypted, maybe obfuscated, or maybe not either (banks).

The sites I really trust don’t care how long your password is because their hash size is fixed. The only real length consideration might be that if a bunch of people send obnoxiously long passwords at the same time and they are using bcryprt or scrypt it might stress the server’s cpu, so they might put an upper limit to prevent that.

This comment downplays the CCPs authoritarian regime. It matters what you do with the surveillance (Uighur genocide).

In many ways China's tracking is much more intrusive. Noone should spy on its citizens, but at least you have trials in the West.
He's been described as a very petty man. For the gain of maybe a move that inconveniences all the EU airlines enough that they'll lobby their governments to not implement this ban. An EU climbdown would be a delicious victory for him. But the way politics work, nobody ever climbs down anything.

When I bought my current house my solicitor suggested that the seller should pay for insurance cover for the fact that there was no planning paperwork for a small side extension. Of course I said OK and of course the seller also agreed. But that extension was even shown on the land registry plan and was obviously 20+ years old. Since planning breach action is limited to 4 years there was no chance of any problem. Free money for insurer, commissions, etc.
I remember getting into a debate with someone when Florida wanted to do drug tests for welfare recipients. She just couldn’t understand the simple math and why it is a waste of money. Also the fact the contract went to a company associated with the governor’s wife, which is probably the real reason for the policy.

The kicker? This person herself was on welfare! In her mind, she doesn’t do drugs, so she is morally right in demanding others who do, don’t get any help from government - no matter how small the percentage is. And no matter the cost. Most people (including myself) have very little idea about basic economics.

We need to change our attitude towards work, towards helping others etc. somehow it is drilled into our heads that working insane hours is holy. In my opinion, working more than 35 hours per week solely for money is just plain stupid. While sustainability is the biggest question with ideas like UBI, people’s attitude towards work is also a huge hurdle

It does matter what you do with the surveillance.

Senior DEA officials say they use warrantless mass surveillance to perform parallel construction "almost daily", according to Reuters.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-dea-sod-idUSBRE97409R2013...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction

Trials are mostly for show, as the actual source of the evidence in these kinds of cases is completely illegal under the US constitution, and the evidence admitted and used in the sham trials is actually inadmissible under the rules of evidence ("fruit of the poison tree").

From the Reuters article above:

> The undated documents show that federal agents are trained to “recreate” the investigative trail to effectively cover up where the information originated, a practice that some experts say violates a defendant’s Constitutional right to a fair trial.
