You confiscated them? Deny entry, sure, it's your business and you have no obligation to risk liability (although as you say, there's little risk and you bend the rules when your revenues are weak).

Nut how does that give you confiscatory rights? How do you come to be exercising police powers and deciding that you can take other people's stuff on behalf of your local jurisdiction? Is this a legal requirement, and if so, how do you justify a) bending the rules as described and b) not surrendering the confiscated property to the civil authorities?

No, it is not. If you read about her, she isn't a first offender. Quite the contrary. And you don't go directly into prison for crimes like this, you start with a penalty payment. To get sentenced to prison requires quite a bit of activity. Yes, it might sound harsh to be sentenced to prison with 90, but it is at most ages. Younger people who have to go to prison might lose their job, their relationships, contact to their family.
Still, no judge will sentence a person that old to prison unless the law, and of course the crimes performed, don't leave an alternative. She was denying the holocaust for decades.
Well, it's not all greek. For example the glyphs we use in this discussion AFAIK are based on egyptian hieroglyphs that were simplified by phoenicians into phoenician script from which greek and latin writing was then based on.

Greeks did develop their own literacy, but apparently became illeterate again circa 1000 bc - and when they again picked up writing they use phoenician glyphs.

Greek world did suck up most of knowledge that had accumulated and added very much to it, so they are a good reference point.

Greek culture predates Rome's rise - and in some ways also lives longer since East-Roman emperors again used greek.

All this makes me think they're about to introduce wireless connection to display, akin to what is now possible with Sidekick and an iPad, especially given the recent improvements in Continuity.
Not Just Bikes is a great YouTube channel that discusses this repulsive suburban decay and covers a lot of Strong Towns material as well. It's a very upsetting pattern that strips towns of the feeling of community you only really get with walkable and enjoyable neighbourhoods.

These are very much similar between the U.S and Canada, the only difference in my mind being the impression I get from this quote

> So here’s the big picture. All of America’s institutions are focused exclusively on churn. Crank out new stuff, sell it fast, cash out, and move on to the next project. Blighted neighborhoods aren’t an accident. They’re baked in to every facet of how we do everything.

It's my impression that this has wormed it's way into other facets of U.S capitalistic culture. Visiting for the first time, every sign in the airport seemed to be shouting at me "BUY BUY BUY" "BURGERS CHICKEN TACOS IPADS GUNS" etc.. as if I wasn't expected to come back. Massive absurd super Walmarts, Super Targets,(I thought "Super" was just a colloquialism until I saw that in fact they literally have/had it in the name) places to gain as much weight as possible and then lose it instantly with this one easy trick. It was the first time I saw a living blob of a person literally just vibrating on a chair in the damn airport. Not that I have anything against overweight people, but it's symbolic of a level of pure hedonism I'm uncomfortable with. Everything's cheaper and bigger and awful. Not that Canada doesn't have some elements of this, but it's a much much smaller scale of crazy. The cities though are a similar hellscape, with just a few nice walkable exceptions.

heavy use of tomatoes is more typical of Italian-American dishes, although Italy has many differing cuisine traditions and its hard to generalize, they more typically rely on seafood and rice in the south, and butter, cream, cheese and potatoes in the north than they do tomatoes (although pasta and olive oil are unquestionably universals in Italian cooking).

Mixed Reality with Passthrough
Having used such books, I don't think it is that simple. I mean you could make an app just like the books but it might not add any functionality and as such not be usable for the wide public.

Thing is, the series your questions you show are easy to answer but they don't get you any further than halfway. Problem is in the questions you do not show: there it starts going into details, terminolgy starts to matter (seriously, if you've never read those words it's like a foreign language) and differences become hard to spot. Part of this could perhaps be alleviated with pictures but I doubt it; I've seen websites attempt it but none were really good and they all did a subset of plants. Probably because it's quite the amount of work to do them all, even for a region.

The last time anyone was drafted in the US the drinking laws in most states allowed 18 year olds to drink. So what is your point? I guess the government agrees with you: no one under 21 is allowed to drink and no one under 21 is being drafted.

> The other story of Heraklion is its great multiculturalism; it exhibits both Greek and Egyptian influences. I am always fascinated when I hear other nerds describe the process of learning Western history as "begin with the Greeks." And we often base Western civilization upon Greek thought, Roman law. At the same time, I am reminded of the story of Thales who supposedly learned his mathematical talents from Egypt. The interconnection between the two worlds seems obvious to me today, and I often wonder the reasons Westerners usually begin (and, for some, end) with the Greeks.

Note that the Greece at the time was not restricted to modern geographical greece: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaic_Greece#/media/File:Gre...

It was mostly a coastal entity (not dissimilar to Portugal during the age of discovery), but there were greek colonies throughout the mediterranean and black seas, with the exception of the phoenician south-west (the southern spain maghreb), as well as Phoenicia proper (the levant)
Coffee cups as measured on the brewing machine is only about half that size.

> But you're competing with the entire world of iOS games.

I am not convinced these are overlapping markets. The Venn diagram probably looks pretty close to two independent circles. I play games on Steam and also own an iPhone. I never play anything on my phone, because it's a completely different experience. I think PC games and iOS games are both games in the same way as PC games and hide&seek are both games. That is to say we use the same term for them, but they're not at all the same in regards to what I'm looking for.

It's not just me either. This line of separation exists in my whole social circle as far as I can tell. None of my PC gaming buddies play mobile games and everyone I know that plays mobile games don't play PC games.
In the EU, most states have eID systems. The German system is as follows:

You've got a central agency, responsible for IDs, paperwork and currency, with a root key in an HSM. From this key, intermediate certificates are generated for each ID production plant. This HSM is kept offline in the vault that also keeps the mint masters for coin and currency production.

The ID production plants then sign IDs with their intermediate key, also kept in an HSM, and tack their own certificate on.

The ID now has an X.509 certificate, or rather multiple ones, with a certificate chain going back to the root certificate of the agency.

Now if you send a correctly signed request via NFC to the ID, the ID will generate a response in its own HSM, and return a signed response with the whole certificate chain.

Such a request can be "given the following date, is the owner of this ID above 16?" (18, 21 are also available).

The request can also be "what is the full personal data for this person?"

To send such a request, the request also needs to be signed, also with a certificate chain going back to the same root CA.

The agency provides certificates with different features enabled or disabled to different users. e.g. a bar can get one that allows them to query IDs for "are you 18 today?" with a certain limit of how many requests per ID they can make per day (the ID verifies that) to avoid brute forcing the actual birthday.

This is for example used in fully automated cash-operated cigarette dispensers.

You can also get a certificate that allows you to request all ID data, but is restricted to your own ID.

> Last I knew fraud vitiates everything.

Not even close. If you take a fake ID to a bar in the US, get drunk, drive home and slam into a bus full of nuns just before you reach your destination then the bartender who served you will need a criminal attorney as well as the bouncer who checked IDs at the door and probably the owner of the bar. Strict liability applies here.
One of the problems we're facing today is building a ton of public infrastructure around the assumption that everyone own a car. This leads to sprawling suburbs and horrible public transportation.

I wonder if we're building a future where everyone owns a smartphone which is going to lead to many problems down the line.
That would depend on the language. Paredit is mainly made for Lisp where that would be legal (aside from the comma between 2 and 3). In some other languages that could also be allowed for casts.

Not to take away from Sci-Hub, but even without institutional access, there are often alternatives:

- more and more research institutes have a public repository of articles.

- plenty of authors put their own (preprints of) papers on their personal website, a preprint server like arxiv, or researchgate.

- lastly, you can mail an author and request a preprint. Not all will reply, but plenty will be happy that someone noticed their work and send a copy.
Problem in Japan with that approach is that decision making is more often than not guts-based and driven by seniority/authority than an "open decision" like described in this article.
Which doesn't really disprove anything. Nobody is arguing that there are armed gunman that target any company that dares deviate from the chosen path of planned obsalescence. The argument though is that the market is overwhelmingly controlled by those that do practice it and furthermore, this practice has nothing to do with serving the interests of the consumer but that of the shareholder.

The fact that there are some that have been persuaded through years of concentrated marketing that bad engineering decisions are desirable is more of an example of manufacturing consent than the "free market of ideas".

I think you wouldn't have to go that far, even things like identifying traffic lights would be a lot easier if you had an up to date list of their locations. Worst case I can think of are car accidents where the people involved have to place warning signs on the road and construction/cleanup crews that are slowly moving along the road, but that would still be a limited amount of exceptions to handle instead of trying (and failing) to handle everything.
There are usually approaches to "validate" a decision before you make it into something that reaches the market. Employee testing, User testing and many other kind of tools that will provides cues if you are on the right track or not.

When there's internal conflicts, as much as possible it's better to let the market/users decide.

If I understand your sentence correctly it's a bit of an edge-case (pun not intended).

When designing interfaces for a screen, the edges (assuming that moving the mouse to the edge doesn't cause scrolling) can be considered "infinitely" wide or tall for the purpose of Fitt's law. This is a really old insight:

Pressing your card against the card reader is the same idea: you don't have to be precise with your motor functions, because as soon as you hit the card reader you know you're close enough. So people can be faster with this approach.

(with that in mind, my earlier solution is actually wrong: the buttons shouldn't be put between the output and the code, they should be made sticky)
Minimizing teen drinking is all very well, but I despise the permission-seeking society we've ended up with with you have to show ID in all kinds of places and beg for permission to exist.

Last winter my wife was ill with a cold. I stuck my credit card in my pocket and went to the drugstore to buy a box of Theraflu, an over-the counter decongestant. They wouldn't sell it to me without ID and when I protested this they grabbed the box and told me to get out of the store or they would call over their armed security guy. This was a corporate change, I had bought the same product many times before without ever being asked for ID.

People are forced to ask permission far more today than a few decades ago, and everyone is treated like a suspect if they object. I don't know who's more contemptible, the petty authoritarians or the people meekly giving up their privacy and dignity to get permission to engage in the most ordinary activities.
Graduated in 85. Drinking age was 21 in my state.

First two years, any student could sign out the dorm lounge and with $40 and the school would provide 1/2 keg of beer, $80 would get you (2) 1/2 kegs, $120 etc.

Spring weekend, not break, First two years $5 wrist band let you drink Friday, Saturday and Sunday, regardless of age. The school provided the beer, and a constant run of bands on 3 alternating stages.

The end of my 2nd year, there was a really bad drunk driving accident with 3 underage students killed, the school stopped sponsoring alcohol at events. They also started enforcing drinking age laws.
Company founded in 2009 with $8bn in funding is called a startup!

I'm in the UK and it always perplexed me why the USA drinking ID laws are quite so strict. Surely people are going to get booze one way or another, and the idea is that by having some level of ID you're stopping most people from drinking underage in a bar? Most people over here start drinking in parks with mates around 13-16 and it's not big deal, if anything in my opinion it's safer they drink in pubs and bars where people can keep an eye on them.
I've never seen this quote before, but I've been using C++ as my main language since the early 90s and this matches my opinion of it EXACTLY.

C++ is a design-by-committee mish-mash language chokeful of everything that was ever thrown at it without any regard to how well it all fits together. In practice it is indeed used in a form of restricted feature subsets, because there's basically no other way to use it. It gets the job done, but it's an ugly bloated monstrosity. Not bad, just ugly.

It would be interesting to catalog info on primordial pre-web internet navigation tech: Gopher, WAIS, etc. Also "the competition", e.g. AOL succumbing to the WWW. Might be fun to have some stuff like Wired Magazine declaring the WWW to be "tired" in 1994 too. It wasn't inevitable.
The number of people is /not/ remotely the limit on abundance or efficiency. Do you know when Holocene extinction occured? During human population bottlenecks from localized depletion of food sources. No overpopulation - we were endangered and bear the scars of it genetically to this day. No technological efficiency there to blame. And no mythical elyium values - they didn't have that priveledge. Any uncontacted tribe that managed to live hunter gatherer by definition was extremely lucky at the time. They had an environment capable of supporting them stationary and no rivals as threats. If they were nomadic over any significant area they would have been known and exposed to human networks.

Efficiency is our only way out of it. Farm acreage shrinking isn't from shortage of housing but an abundance of productivity.

C++ has a great array story - `std::array<char, N>`. `fopen` is a C API, so yeah you have to pass it C-strings. Note that Rust has to do the exact same thing (albeit calling `open64` rather than `fopen`), you can see it in the source for the stdlib here https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/sr...
> Why is that even allowed any more? You ought to have to wrap "Unsafe" around it

There have been a few different projects aiming to introduce 'proper arrays' into C, but they never get traction, even when carefully designed for good backward compatibility. C is seemingly just too resistant to change. Here's Walter Bright's suggestion. [0]

Aside: why is the word story so popular on Hacker News these days? We can just say C doesn't have decent arrays. We aren't discussing its history, we're discussing a specific technical facet of the language.

If a civilization lasted for several hundred years, there's no single answer for that kind of topic. Food is fashion, and is ever changing over time. It's like asking "What did ancient Americans eat between 1600 and 2000?" years in the future, and the answer will vary widely for each century (and regardless of technical progress).

It would work fine if they could measure the evaporative contribution - if the humidity is say consistently 25% higher than fallow land over alfalfa fields with open canal irrigation but only say 5% higher over an efficient modern irrigation system which waters when it is best absorbed it could align properly.
They're skating towards where the puck is, not where the puck will be. I believe it's impossible to win this kind of technological race without appearing to be early. So my prediction is most of them will fail.

You might be correct if the "critical point" arriving meant that established manufacturers could just buy the cost-and-performance-critical parts of EV manufacturing in volume, at low cost, from their suppliers as they're used to. But they can't, because the advancements that make this the right time are not sold on the open market. Getting there requires at least five years of R&D and billions invested, and in that time their competitors will have advanced further.

This outcome isn't obvious yet, so I might still be wrong, but that's where my money would be. I suppose that purchasing one of the startups working on this is a more promising option, but I'm not at all convinced.
Maybe. Germany had a very rainy summer this year, and the flash floods were just single-day events in a long period of cloudy, rainy but noncatastrophic weather. The regular, noncatastrophic rain actually made up for most of the draught in the last three summers. So I would be hesitant to interpret this data either way.
OLED technology has two significant problems that will not be solved anytime soon:

1. Blue OLEDS do not last, they degrade much faster than the other colors.

2. Burnout.

This is intrinsic to the technology. LED tech has not those problems. uLEDs technology already works very well, much better than OLEDs, it is just too expensive. There is no need for inventing new technology.

Also, when talking about LEDs we must talk about the inverse technology: Solar panels. Improvements and investment in solar panel technologies transfer to LEDs fast because it is the inverse: Any LED or light emitting diode does generate electricity when light.

OLED promising advantage for the future is the possibility of being printed extremely cheap and superfast on plastic substrates, specially for solar panels, at cents/square meter. But right now showstoppers exist for that tech.
