Again, this is a solved problem in countries that keep things moving every day of the week. For instance, trains may be replaced by busses on those days or bus routes may operate at reduced capacity.
I think the referendum against building in Tempelhof saw right through the project and understood what its end goal would have been: it would have created apartments that those being priced out of Berlin wouldn't have been able to afford. The losses would be socialized (namely, the park) while the benefits would go to the wealthy.

For those unfamiliar with the situation I found this article [1] which, biased as it is, I think accurately reflects the opinion of the common Berliner at the time. If the plan had proposed 100% social housing, I bet the story would have been different.

Please file an issue (https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/issues) and describe how to reproduce the problem. If you can open the browser developer console (Ctrl+shift+I in firefox), often the last part will be really helpful.
I am not aware of any examples where a country taxes a single individual at a higher rate than everyone else by law. If examples are innumerable, I'd be grateful if you could provide one.

Ah, so if you're representative, then they believe that there would be no consequences to the theft. That no law was broken, the authorities would have no interest in a missing $10M, and Snyk would have no legal recourse to recover it. Interesting theory.

Not just black. Dark, fractulate, nigh-furry extremely light-absorbing black.

Art is in the eye of the beholder.
Just like value.
So, in a sense, art is the perfect expression of the subjective theory of value.
And by the way, it resembles religion in that, one must believe in it.
But as every good artist, salesman and priest knows, it is of greater importance that as many others as possible be convinced of how valuable it is.
Nothing new here.

It doesn't matter wether there is the possibility of a 'perfect' copy.
You just have to convince your connoisseurs, buyers, believers that art is a process and a story/history not a product.

Et voilà que.

I think the embedded tweets by Malte Ube basically clears up this whole thing, author appears to be confusing roles with outcomes, like, yes, developers could be your users... and? Am I missing something more? There's still a difference between the developers who develop your product and the developers that use it (dogfooding applies to a small segment of products, not enough to jsutify the generality of this post title though, no?).

What most people mean when they talk about the tension between DX and UX are things like people using React everywhere for its intuitive interface and composition even if the project is just a few screens with some text and two buttons at maximum per screen (I work somewhere where there is a product that does exactly this); the JS payload is bigger than the set of possibilities for interacting with the page is. More appropriate would be something ike a DAW in the browser: the set of possibile outcomes, i.e. musical compositions, is big enough to justify the JS payload size.

But talking about interactions/payload size is just one axis of tension, and even in the case above you can reverse it and developers could be using some in-house framework they all like a lot and are familiar with but that imposes unintuitive constrictions on the in-browser DAW they're building in the way of minimizing bugs perhaps, or how fast the screen is updated, say.
ProseMirror is probably the best option out there, but I found it pretty hard to wrap my head around its API.

Oh yes they do. I've got "good" insurance and have such fun when I get a surprise bill for $150 for talking to a specialist for 15 minutes when I thought it would be a $25 copay under my plan. Costs a couple grand if I end up in the hospital. $25 every time I see a doctor. That adds up when it takes 4 visits over 2 weeks to figure out what the problem is and what medication I need. And the insurance itself isn't cheap.

Huh, I'm exactly the opposite. While I do donate money to social programs, any time I have the opportunity to help others I'd much rather it be with my time and efforts than with simply handing over cash for somebody else to deal with people who need assistance. It is much more fulfilling for me to be able to interact with people I'm helping, and who may help me some day. If this is as simple as taking a few more minutes to interact with a retail clerk that needs extra time communicating, that seems like an almost no effort opportunity.

I just clicked around online, but it appears that they've been targeting Google for a while now, seemingly after they refused to comply with surveillance requests from the rest of the government:

> In 2014, CCI imposed a fine of ₹10 million upon Google for failure to comply with the directions given by the Director General seeking information and documents. [0]

4 years later they sued them for some unexplained "search bias" and then 3 years after that, they're back for some sort of market-dependent anti-trust case. I think there's plenty of skeletons in Google's closet, but this is not one of them. If I had to guess, this is the reaction of a frustrated conservative regime discovering that "big tech" doesn't really kowtow to any and all government requests. Following the pushback from the farmer's protest censorship, I'd imagine they're pretty pissed at Google, Facebook and Twitter.

Last Tuesday - an Apple Watch is coming with a swipe-capable keyboard and edge to edge screen, but doesn't make it so the bands I own don't work any longer. I will soon have a full, cellular computer on my wrist. That is Dick Tracy future tech.

Basically all of the AirPods that support sound cancellation. EarPods that could do a better job of cutting out outside sound than the very expensive Bose headphones I owned prior, but could fit in my jeans coin pocket.

The M1 and every Mac to have it so far.

It seems very logical that a list marked private shouldn't send any notifications to Alexa, a device that isn't private by design. It either announces or displays things to anyone near it.

At the very least, the default should be "no notifications", and you could turn them on for the list if desired.
But it’s no different than your tax dollars buying housing from private entities or building public housing and charging lower than market rent.

At best an academic question in matters like this. This is rather directly comparable to an 'independent' US commission taking umbrage at something Huawei has done.

On the one hand, maybe it is an independent action. On the other hand, there are so many considerations around security, geopolitics and nationalism that it is hard to even know what they are meant to be independent of.
most of the time, yes.
It depends on who is involved.

if reliance is involved, no matter who is in power, realiance wins.

In this case, google does not have any political affinity, so the judgement is most likely not influenced.

At average price of approx.160 000€ per apartment it can be a good deal if financed with debt. Market value for those apartments is likely much higher and city-owned property firms can borrow very cheap. The only question is, whether this debt should be used to fix a short term problem with increasing rents or to invest in building more city-owned apartments. Besides, this deal may discourage investors, which may see property market in Berlin as low margin due to artificially limited returns.
Yeah, everyone remembers the famous 8 lane interstates built by the Romans, cutting through Europe, with gas stations every 16 miles. The only thing we needed to adapt were the road signs!

So you see no qualitative difference between a couple of horse carriage crossing the North American plains, and an Interstate system (that requires no stopping) with gas stations, motels, parking lots, malls, suburbs?

Have you looked at maps of cities with roads and parking lots? Cities in north America are literally built / rebuilt around cars, cities in Europe heavily modified.

Or, conversely, that means you find any advance towards autonomy in cars, in their current form, such as lane assistants, or working well in good weather on interstates, etc. is completely worthless?

It's only retaliation if the employee is engaging in an exercise of their legally-protected rights.

If someone is fired after complaining about sexual harassment in the workplace, that's retaliation because you have a legal right to a workplace free of such harassment.

If someone is reassigned after complaining about their employer's ESG policies, you're going to have to explain to me what the nature of the legal protection is in that case for me to see that as retaliation.
> So you’re saying there doesn’t exist (and never did) racism nor misogyny, never antisemitism, but it was always a plot of the few powerful?

Nope. In Ancient Greece, basically all non-slaves benefited from slavery, and ultimately they didn't do anything about it. Within their culture, they had the right to do bad things (slavery) to those they defeated in war; their society was structured such that it required slaves, and most not-enslaved people were okay with that… or, at least, few objected enough to try to put a stop to it.

The “oh, but they're actually inferior, and naturally deserve this” arguments came later.

I'm making specific claims, not the general ones you think I am. In Ancient Greece, it was merely the powerful, not the powerful elite, who upheld slavery – even though the word had negative connotations in Plato's time. In England, it was the upper classes that imposed restrictions on voting, and the lower classes who made themselves a massive nuisance until those got progressively relaxed… but it was also a rebellious noble who introduced the House of Commons (for largely self-serving reasons) in the first place. In America, it was mostly slaveholders who argued that slavery was good actually. (I don't know much about US history, though, and you can easily cast doubt on this assertion by showing me a slavery apologist who wasn't a slaver.)

> The ethics of women voting, slavery, and the Holocaust were argued on the same biological basis,

Eventually, yes. But this particular excuse was just one in a long, long line of excuses. It's rare for one group to oppress another on ideological grounds when they aren't getting something else out of it; the “ideological grounds” are a mere farce.

Somewhere around the 1350s (± 20 years; I haven't looked into it recently, and I'm no good with dates), the House of Commons became responsible for deciding taxation, a right the barons claimed for themselves in 1215 with the Magna Carta. The justification for this was three-fold; in order for a tax to be just, it must:

• be demonstrated, by the king (the one who imposed taxes), to be necessary;

• be to the benefit of the community; and

• be approved by the community.

This is, fundamentally, the justification for democracy. This is the logic that says all taxpayers should have the right to vote.

Why, then, was the right to vote restricted to forty-shilling freeholders (landowners with at least 40 shillings' annual rent) in 1430‽ Well, “elections had been crowded by persons of low estate“, of course.

How is it relevant? Android is close to 100% of the mobile phone market. Even if every single member of the commission was named Modi, that still makes Google a monopolist.

I don't understand the fetishization of political independence. Why would you want unelected members who are unanswerable to the people making decisions which would have a massive impact on their lives?
> an 'independent' US commission taking umbrage at something Huawei has done

Which scarequotes-independent commission are you referring to?
Why? In what other contexts do we respect an employee's "hesitancy"?

I have a hesitancy about getting in a car crash on the way to work, does that mean my employer must allow me to work remotely so I don't have to commute?

I have a hesitancy about whether Kubernetes is the right strategy, does that mean my employer must allow me to keep using VPSes?

I have a hesitancy about the stability of the US dollar, does that mean I can demand to get paid in Euro?

Or, in all seriousness - I have a hesitancy about returning to work when we know that vaccines are imperfect, does that mean I can demand that all my coworkers wear N95 masks all day and must go outside to remove them (including to drink water)?

America is not a country where employees' neuroses are coddled when the business has a job to do. I know, and understand, that even my neurosis about covid transmission is a neurosis and is going to be met with "If you don't like it, you can quit." If you want to be hesitant about things, you can spend all day at home being as hesitant as you like.

The entire account is ‘private’ in this context.

Unless you explicitly share something, all of the information is protected equally except for credit card numbers and your password.

Like I mentioned above, if the author had a gift in their shopping cart or ‘save for later’ and Alexa notified on a price change, would they have a similar reaction?

It’s not a moot point now but either this is just a serendipitous occasion or somebody Amazon really listens, but I just opened up the app, went to manage lists, and there’s literally an option now to manage the list through Alexa or not.
OK thanks actually I do not need the math. Just wanted to know I my beliefs were wrong on that point too.

Again, you're making assumptions that people worry about privacy like you are. You're also making an assumption that people think like you that Alexa harms their privacy. Finally, your first sentence is pretty ignorant I must say. Let people in a wheelchair talk about Alexa and their tradeoffs.

Personally I have an Alexa but don't find it too appealing. I barely use it. My kids use it much more often. I don't worry about privacy. I trust Amazon (or Google/Apple/Microsoft) that non of the audio is saved or sent to the cloud unless the device hears the trigger word. Can someone hack it and listen to our interactions at home? I'm assuming it's possible but that's true for our phones too.

In the interwar period, many leading air power theorists were of the opinion that an unrestricted bombing campaign of your enemy's cities would cause them to collapse in a matter of weeks [1].

Needless to say, 100 years of experience in warfare has provided several examples of trying to destroy a country primarily through a bombing campaign, and the number of times this can merely be argued to be successful can be counted on one hand. The number of times it has been unquestionably successful remains at 0.

[1] I just re-checked the quotes in J. F. C. Fuller's "The Conduct of War", and the general he quotes gives the timeframe of less than a week, after air superiority has been won, specifically advocating that the war would be won before the enemy has mobilized.
Exactly. I use basic git daily, but I'm still confused about rebase.
Sure, but that's not related to the question at hand. I don't think it's controversial that people with different experiences will develop differently, and that twins are, in fact, different people.

right now the payoff isnt very good. we got 4000$ for the harvest. but the overhead is small and once i get greehouses in i think i will do well. still have more market research to do, and see what grows best in the spring and fall. i have some special sauce planned to grow in the winter. i think it will be hard to not make good money if i can produce in the winter. but i dont know yet. i just bought it at the beginning of the year.

i think crop selection and distribution/marketing are going to be key areas for me to get right in order to have a good return.
A hypothetical one. I'm not aware of any independent commission looking in to Huawei, and I'd have contempt for its alleged independence if there is one.

Put it another way. If we carbon-copied Google into a Chinese firm with nothing changed about their operations it would be a crisis in the US and probably discovered to be breach all sorts of laws. The pervasive spying that Google must be doing for the NSA alone would be a crisis, ignoring the broader strategic issues. It would be infeasible for any aspect of any resistance to this hypothetical Sinoogle to be free from political interference, the stakes would be too high. Shutting it down in the US at a minimum and ideally globally would be a priority 1 goal for the US establishment. With that as table stakes, what does it mean for a commission to be independent? If it looks like the commission will come to a politically unsatisfactory conclusion laws will change and new commissioners would be found.
