Car manufacturers contracted with car dealers back when the car business was uncertain - they needed a local dealer network to sell and service their cars. Once dealers were established, they lobbied to get laws in place to prevent them from being disintermediated by the manufacturers, who could have easily just put them out of business and replaced them with manufacturer-owned stores.

Not a great reason …

You don't need a billion $ to remake Alpha Centauri as long as you don't want AAA visuals. I would wager an experienced team of 8-10 people can do it in 2 years (so ~$2m assuming $100k average salary cost per person year).
The never allowing multiple tokens things drives me nuts.
All this illustrates is that vegetarianism is ultimately a human social phenomenon. Cute animals doing human-like things get our sympathy and fuel vegan cultural movements, while cockroaches replicating some other human quality are still treated as pests to be removed, without exception.
Veganism has no solid basis in that there is no precedent.

There is for vegetarianism, it was not invented in the nineteenth century, but veganism was. There are no examples of vegan cultures before modern times.

Given that what we do not know about human metabolism is more important than what we do know I am sceptical of some new radical dietary plan.
Units in the field would die as a singular stack (aka: stack kill).

There were two exceptions, and one exception-to-the-exception.

* Cities had units die one-at-a-time. This means that to siege a city, you were forced to build a stack (!!!). Attacking cities was always a dangerous operation in Civ 1/2 (though made easier in Civ3).

* Fortresses had units die one-at-a-time, but were relatively difficult to build. IIRC, they also took up room, so no farms or mines if you build a fortress. Still though, they served as a "city-lite". Civ3 revamped the fortress system rather severely, so this only really applies to Civ1 / Civ2... and the top-tier fortress in Civ3 (lower-tier fortifications IIRC didn't defend vs stack kills, only provided a minor defensive bonus).

The exception-to-exceptions was the nuke, as you pointed out. A nuke can stack-kill even in the stack-kill immune zones (cities / fortresses).
I find that an odd explanation. After all you could start eating babies or kids.
Nature is brutal. For animals in the wild, survival is a struggle on a whole different level. The predators hunt the young of other species, or their own children starve. The prey are in constant danger, and may be suffering their own shortage of food while trying to avoid being eaten. Species killing other species is the norm. Meanwhile, we hide from death, and we use words like "beef" to forget what it is. But the real wild treats animals much worse than a fishing hook or a conscientious local farm.
They don’t have to do this in most states. Only a few states have laws against selling cars factory-direct.
I feel the lmited factual objections, and they are typically somewhat slight, is the avoidance of problems like osteoporosis. Calcium is just not as bioavailable in plant sources. In like sense we don't synthesise some vitamins well, which is an indication we expect bioavailable sources to be in our diet, genetically speaking.

Probably, insect sources would meet fat soluable needs if a live source was to be chosen.

(Not a vegan, omnivorous, happy to consider lacto-ovo vegetarianism at some poibt)
The inspections caught it after almost half the barrel was gone from rust. That doesn't inspire confidence. Neither does the way Asse II is being handled currently.

People also tend to not believe "no danger" claims - such claims, especially when coming from the companies running those plants, provide very little information, as we have learned that we should expect to hear the same claims even if a reactor core is currently melting its way through the containment (both in Chernobyl and Fukushima, false reassurances were given long after the people in charge knew of the seriousness of the accident).

Likewise, officials claim that nothing is leaking from Asse and it is safe, yet there is an unexplained but very significant (p<0.01) increase in various cancers.

Even if this was just feelings (and I disagree with that - seeing partial failures that get caught by other layers of a multi-layered safety system does provide information about the risk that one day the "holes in the Swiss cheese" [1] will line up), it explains why people in Germany are so opposed to nuclear.

Fukushima was particularly devastating for public trust, because Japan is seen as a developed, industrialized, "orderly" nation, so if it can happen there, it can happen anywhere. Additionally, nuclear power plants in developed countries were portrayed as absolutely safe, so it's a "fool me once, fool me twice" situation. (Since this is usually countered by "they couldn't expect the Tsunami": that just means that when an unexpected event - e.g. a 300 year flood event, as has recently happened in Germany - comes, we should expect a similar outcome and similar attempts from the people in charge to weasel out of the blame. Again, not helpful for trust.)

In short, people - me included - don't believe that the plants will be operated to the claimed safety standards. The trust in the industry is gone, and people don't want to take the gamble, even if rationally, it may be the lesser evil than e.g. coal.

> It calls up a torrent of hate speech and misinformation with the right hand while trying to clumsily moderate with the left.

Not a Facebook employee (or supporter for that matter), but I'm curious if you consider this an issue of Facebook or of social media in general.

Not saying it's OK for FB because everyone does it, but you generally see the same dynamic of the "torrent of hate speech and misinformation" on Twitter, on Reddit, on Youtube even (personal experience: I have a family member that was radicalized by misinformation on the internet. It was all on Youtube, she had never even used Facebook).

I've noticed that people go a lot harder on Facebook than on other tech companies. I think Facebook's reputation is well deserved, but I do think that reputation should be shared with really all social media in general.

Great!

This entire post didn't really negate mine though. Your post ignored huge percentages of (most of?) the categories of meat and food that would/could be replaced by lab grown food. It's like saying "My mercedes is wondeful, nobody would ever want an _electric car!_." There will always be a place for luxury items. People that eat at McDonald's aren't getting luxury items. Low wage workers that eat 4 dollar per pound chicken from Safeway aren't eating luxury items. If lab grown food can (more) ethically service lower income people with a reduced environmental impact, we should go all-in on that advancement. Your farm can and should exist as a commodity for those that want to pay for it.
I used to be exactly like you. I drove mid-price cars (around 10k) and was 100% miserable. I could drive shorter distances around town, but I was completely worn out after 200-300km of continuous driving. When we got wherever we were going, I needed to take a good 30-45 minutes to rest my brain.

I bought a Hyundai EV about a year ago and I actually kinda like driving now. The electric drive train is somehow more logical to my brain. I tell it to go faster and it does without any fuss or noise. No switching gears manually or alternating engine RPMs from the automatic gearbox.

The best part is the lane keeping assistant and smart cruise. When I'm on a bigger road with proper markings, I can just lightly hold the wheel and the car does the annoying minutiae of driving.

Now I can easily drive 400km+ in a single day and not feel completely drained afterwards.

Something about the need to slightly manage the steering wheel every second while also maintaining a safe distance to the car in front of me drained my brain. I was unable relax at the wheel. Now I can focus on actually following the traffic around me.
Postgres is not only about code. It's a Community. Contributions are more than code.

We value team membership by their abilities, and values. Those may prove better at building Community that C programming ability.

Yet you are wrong when you state that Core Team holds trademarks. Core is not even a legal entity (the main mistake that I've been voicing for years; it should).

Instead, there's a "loosely associated" association in Canada (PAC), with a governing board as opaque as Core, that holds the trademarks. Let's even assume this is OK.

But then, PEU (https://www.postgresql.eu/) also holds trademarks! Why? Is PEU an "official" association in any way? (if so, there should be a process and rules to become official, but there aren't).

So if Core (read: PAC) is the only one who should hold the trademarks, why is not Core/PAC also suing and publicly bashing against PEU? What makes PEU special? What makes legally PEU different from other Postgres NPOs?

I've been asking this question for years, including many times during this "debate" with Core/PEU/PAC about the trademarks. No answer.
Thanks for the good chuckle

I wouldn't go that far. What I meant is more that Element would've been willing to share our private source tree for Element Android 1.2.2 with F-Droid several days in advance of disclosure, if it meant that they could pre-build the binaries and have them ready to ship the moment that the source was made public.

(After verifying that the public source is identical to the privately shared copy, of course.)

How is the "gig economy" any different from the usual tricks that employers get around benefits?

Walmart, for example, will schedule employees < 30 hours and stack entire stores with part timers.

My confusion is that the gig economy companies get a large share of the hate (justified or unjustified) but much of the criticism seems to boil down to unregulated capitalism.
Because of course every one of (the very few) users is going to complain on HN about a product they use being EOL'ed.

An to put it in perspective, Intel's IOT group, which is (lol) mostly Point of Sale and MRI machines, does $3bn of revenue a year.

Intel is a big ship, and outside of new platforms (like smartphones were), there are few meaningful ways to diversify.

Hell, even if they bought NXP (one of the actual leaders in IOT), that would still only constitute 10% of their revenue.
Everybody pays retirement, the public one, you pay it through taxes. They probably don't pay a private pension. And insurance yes, some don't pay disability insurance which pays you for a while if you're injured and can't work (don't underestimate here the lobby of the insurance companies who pay the press to complain that people don't buy their insurance policies. In the end they are the ones who profit most). One benefit of being a zzper is that you don't have overhead. When you're employed the company gets 100/hr for your work and pays you 25/hr, some of that money may be there to keep you employed when there's less work to do, although when a company is in trouble they will find a way to fire you. The most part goes to the owner of the company, who can take it out, or grow the company, but in the end for their own benefit. There's other dynamics of course, take construction companies, projects come and go, sometimes one company gets a big project, then sometimes another one gets it. These are different companies. They couldn't always employ the same number of people, but they benefit that they can quickly scale the workforce by hiring zzp-ers.
It's an implementation detail to mimic the platform look. If you don't want that, you can use custom styles/stylesheets. The point is, e.g. QPushButton is not a wrapper around NSButton on mac, or BUTTON hwnd on win.
The API backend is written in Swift with some code in C (conversion Float16, interpolations, some solar radiation libraries). Data are read directly via mmap from local NVMe SSD disks. To scale, I can add new VMs and copy my binary files.

There is no frontend cache and I want to keep it this way. Next steps include point-of-presence API virtual machines in different counties. Via GeoDNS this is even faster than a CDN.

Peak API usage was around 50.000 API calls per hour, but on average it is quite low.
Civ1, Civ2, Civ2 Call to Power, all suffered from stacked unit insta-kill glitch that OP mentioned. I have very unpleasant memories of a spearman somehow being hidden in stacks of tanks and losing them all to a crossbow or pike.

This happened too MANY times to forget; and though enough time has passed that specifics have faded the pain and frustration never will.

=) Yeah I'm still kinda bitter about that.

> No, the Founder's are the Founding members (5).

The document says:

"The Founder [singular], Mr. Alvaro Carlos Hernandez Tortosa, is Honorary Life Member..."

It goes on to say:

"...the willingness of the Founder [singular] expressed in this Statutes"

See why I'm connecting the two sentences?

Don't you think that this choice of words is, at the very least, confusing? Maybe you should issue a clarification on your blog. Perhaps it's all just a misunderstanding.
There are some things that - no matter how much "common ground" we have - simply can not be discussed in relative terms. Advocating that we all should be subjected to censorship and silence anyone who speaks against the status quo is one of them.

To think that is okay to have one all-too-powerful entity controlling information channels is stepping into fascism and totalitarianism. This is a lesson that we should have learned already: no possible good comes out of that.
Yeah. I bought a used Honda Civic. It had 38K miles on it. I did replace the battery - $140 with a 3-year unconditional warranty and 7-year pro-rated warranty, and oil changes - $50 including tire rotation and that's it. My last oil change was a year ago and it's about due for another. The parts are universally available, dirt cheap, capable mechanics abound, and the insurance is super cheap. It's the way to go for me.

> the only thing that surprises me about this is the fact that cows have bladder (and bowel?) control.

Probably not much control; they might notice they need to go about 30 seconds before they really gotta go. If your house cow can't get out by itself there might be a pie by the door and an apologetic gaze.

I've known a cow that was raised in a small pen under a hickory tree; he learned to keep a bathroom corner after the crate trained dog suggested it to him, I think.

We run a goat as part of our dog pack, she's as house trained as I expect from any puppy that age, but she needs to go out often and may have the urge hit suddenly.
Android happened and combined with a popular desktop Chrome, well the rest is history.
What convinces you of that, im curious.
Very true. I don't know why more cars don't have top-side oil filters, because it would make DIY oil changes so much easier.

Even when I lived in an apartment with no garage, I could easily change the oil in my car (mk4 VW Jetta TDI) out in the parking lot. I use an oil extractor to suck it out the dipstick hole, and since the filter is front and centre, I don't need to get under the car at all. In fact, I've never removed the oilpan drain plug.
I can only speak for myself: I feel that killing animals is wrong, I don’t have the self control to stop, and seeing people who do (and are living more ethical lives than me) makes me annoyed and resentful. I would, however, be extremely proud if my children decided to become vegan (and would prepare vegan meals for them).

One note of caution. As someone who gets a lot of these kinds of update emails, it's also very apparent when or when not a company is hitting an inflection point.

Why does that matter?

If things are going well, great - you'll have a much easier time fundraising. The potential investors on your list will see your progress and realize they have a chance to preempt.

If things are not going well, you're providing a continuous stream of proof that you haven't cracked the nut yet. Which there is no shame in. But broadcasting that can be harmful.

So what do you do? It's tempting to hype up your updates so it looks more positive. Or should you be honest (which your ACTUAL investors and advisors need to help you)? Hmmm. Or do you run 2 update emails, the insider one and outsider one?

OR do you just focus on growth, and realize that none of this matters if you're growing 300% YoY at non-trivial revenue? Imagine if the time you spent on a weekly email was spent on making 5 add'l client calls?

Final thing to be aware of. The most powerful force in fundraising is FOMO. Every VC or angel investors has an "oh shit" moment when a startup they kind of know (but had kind of written off) all of a sudden is doing a hot round, and you feel late to the party.

I'm not telling anyone to NOT do update emails like this. Just recognize the signal leakage and really evaluate if the time spent is worth it.

I'm pretty sure browser share is done by useragent, which will report Firefox if you're using Firefox. Unless of course you change your useragent but the number of people doing that will be vanishingly small.
The take away here is not that you are wrong or that Uber is a bad choice for everyone. It's that some number of people provide diving services to Uber at a rate lower than we generally allow.

So it's about if we want to let companies hire individuals to do contract work that would be below the level we would allow someone to hire an employee. And, if we do (which I think we should) how do we set the standards of such an arrangement? Being an app driver is clearly different from being a traditional independent contractor (handyman, etc), but it is also different from being an employee. What a fair and just version of this relationship looks like is, to me, obviously unsettled.

P.s. Uber lost ~$4.5B last year on ~$11B revenue. It does not seem reasonable to say that the payment rates you've been getting represent what Uber 'will be' in a long term way. The economic situation is not sustainable.
Apache is where projects go to die. So, probably not.
Yeah, agreed.

Just for fun, some of the behaviors that come to mind (not all the same dog):

- opening cages, even with clips in place to "lock" it a bit

- intentionally looking pitiful/hurt only when they know a certain gullible human is around to get extra attention (access to the couch)

- turning on a light switch that gets the neighbor dog to bark, causing our other dogs to run over and look, then stealing whatever dog bed she wants

And then just in general, dogs and other pets seem really good at training humans if the human allows (most do, you really have to pay attention quite a lot to avoid it).

Human meat is not one.

That is the extent of my logic and mine personally has not included hypotheticals.

I have the same questions for others actually, because I don’t understand the logic path: if it was shown in the future that “asparagus and trees” and even their separated fruit had bundles of nerves, conditional logic, feelings, intelligence, does that also exclude them from diets now?

This argument doesn't work. I mean, people do horrible things to other people too (including killing them). So a dark way of looking at this is that people only care about things they form an attachment to (humans or animals or material objects).

Unfortunately owning the Remaster and playing OpenRA, they are two very divergent projects that cannot be merged.

OpenRA is a rewrite whilst Remastered was a rework on the original code.

I used scrapy a lot. Just my opinion:

1. Instead of creating a urls global variable, use start_requests function.

2. Don't use beautifulsoup to parse, use CSS or XPATH.

3. If you are going into multiple pages over and over again, use CrawlSpider with Rule.
