Does Texas have a law about standing your ground against someone trying to stop you?

If so, could the protestors then start shooting the driver in for of self defense?

Even if the law does not exist could the protestors could use self defense to shoot the driver anyway?

Strictly from a business perspective ("make money from it"), going with Electron seems like the logical path to reaching the largest market of users.
Then it's better to address those problems directly instead of scare monger about declining birth rates because the world has plenty of people and will continue to have more for the foreseeable future.

Eg. signed ownership document for every catalytic converter on premises (scrap yards,...), with a written 'source' - eg, removed from car with VIN 123...789, or replaced on care with VIN 123...789 with a proof of purchase of a new one (i'm guessing it's illegal to drive without one).

It's a pain in the ass to implement, but could work.
I believe the question to pricing strategy can be found in this intro paragraph:

This would probably be better asked on a fiction worldbuilding forum, but I wonder what would happen if somehow enough oxygen and nitrogen was suddenly dumped on the moon to constitute an earthlike atmosphere.

Obviously in the long run, there's neither enough gravity nor a magnetosphere to maintain it, right?

But on a human timescale, what would it be like? Titan proves that even when it's very, very cold, a thick (it seems to be thicker than Earth's) nitrogen atmosphere can last for some time.
I would say what you choose to do in this scenario as a retailer depends on whether you want your (now possibly former) customer going on a web site and telling thousands of people about their bad experience. Surely that's worth the cost of shipping, isn't it?

Another perspective: they've made 20k orders already. Surely, over that time, they've made you enough money in retail margin to make eating the cost trivial. Even without the 20k orders, we're still talking about someone who's bought two pair of $120 earbuds. The expected lifetime value of that customer probably exceeds the shipping cost. Hell, even the gross margin on one sale probably exceeds the shipping cost.

I think it's pretty clear that not only should the retailer assume it was a good faith mistake, but they should also step in to help make it right.

You can't change what happened. Deal with the challenge.
Here's a TL;DR of the links:
[0] Guy gets into an argument with protestors, then crashes his truck. Protestors fight guy.
[1] Guy exits vehicle and argues with protestors. Cop breaks it up before things get out of hand.
[2] Guy (accidentally) runs over a cyclist at a protest. Protestors get angry and trash car.
[3] Youtube takes down a video, puts it back up with age restrictions.

In the two cases where protestors attacked a vehicle or its occupants either the driver already had an altercation with protestors or the vehicle struck a protestor. The original comment I was replying to implied that there was lots of footage of protestors attacking people in cars. This doesn't show any evidence of that. I still haven't seen any evidence that there is a problem of protestors attacking random cars and their occupants.

I do not see how that is collusion in the usual sense of the world?

That is simply consumers opting for the better value, making the sale of longer lifetime bulbs an uncompetitive option.

Thing is that it's a lot easier to regulate a small number of registered businesses, with known owners, in known locations, versus a potentially endless amount of (unregistered) customers that come and go.

Not easy, just easier.

Pinpointing those companies that see large growth in an old, competitive or low-margin industry, is a risk-indicator that allows you to filter out many companies and investigate only a few. Seeing that some are selling large fractions of palladium, is a risk-indicator.

Appearing at these companies with fake offers to sell palladium, can give insight.

Requiring source-of-scrap forms to be filled in, can give a paper-trail that either leads somewhere, or is obviously fake and leads nowhere. If that happens routinely, licenses could be revoked.

Don't get me wrong, none of this solves the issue and none of it is easy. It'll always be a cat and mouse game. AML regulations have shown to be quite ineffective at rooting out the problem, it's very much alive and kicking and perhaps even bigger than ever. Yet it seems also obvious that, much, much more money laundering would be happening in absence of any such regulations. Regulations can be helpful without solving the entire problem, if well designed (AML is very much a clusterfuck for example).
I know, and I wasn't actually joking :p. I wonder how long it would take SpaceX to prepare a Tesla for the Moon. Might be much quicker than building a Moon rover from scratch, especially by "old space" companies.
I don't know a great deal about JET Blue, but they were developed to serve roughly identical needs (e.g. one us under ActiveDirectory, the other is or was under all the other LDAP servers). I think MS put more into that layer though, for example it can do tuple indexing. With BDB that kind of thing was done in the layer above, in the application.

True. But the info boxes in the top are interesting and informative, those make it worth it to keep going.

Hm, yes, I reread the part about the performance of find. GNU find is one of the fastest directory traversals out of the box compared to many other implementations, e.g. the ones that come in stdlibs. I was under the impression the slowness was applying the tests when they were applied.
I found an article from June with more specifics: https://urbanize.city/la/post/los-angeles-wildfire-wood-cons...

That article contains this interesting nugget of information: "the proposal [...] is backed by an organization called Build with Strength. The campaign, led by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association..."

So it seems this may have more to do with $$$ than actual safety.
"There is no justification for hiding the subdomain from the url."

I'm just curious how developers are so blind to the issues of showing a subdomain that they assert that there is NO justification?

Can we perhaps assume a bit more good faith, or just consider that perhaps google has SOME (maybe bad) justification for this change?

I can easily think of MANY reasons to hide the subdomain, starting with the classic secure.bank.chase.com-url.io type phishing sites.

And this is actually illustrated here, if you don't have control over root domain, should google be able to trust your subdomains?

I would suggest that in 2021, if you can't get content to your root domain (or a redirect), you should update how you approach your hosting. I've been able to get content on a root domain for over 15 years.

Ie, look to yourself before ranting at google.

> incandescent lightbulb filaments were designed to fail ~1000 hours of use (even though they could easily have lasted far longer)

This is repeated a lot but not correct. All the "forever incandescent" bulbs have one thing in common: they're dim, and they have a very red color temperature. They live long, because their filaments are much colder. If you want whiter light, and more of it (because lower filament temperatures are less efficient, since they emit even more infrared, as the entire spectrum is more red-shifted and flatter), the only way with incandescent is a higher filament temperature, which inherently lowers lamp lifetime.

What changed, besides lifetime, when lamps went from around 2000-3000 hours to 1000 hours is that they got way brighter and more white. Which is what customers wanted.

In my region in several places it was banned to build houses using wood hundreds of years ago and there a lot of beautiful stone houses still stand today. Avoiding wood in dense areas really makes sense I guess.

> The inane chatter shows you're normal and relatable (you're someone who's going to enjoy the latest TV show and get burgers for lunch, instead of shooting up a school)

"Relatable" carries a lot of water here. If you're a woman in a roomful of men, somebody who grew up rich in a room full of people who grew up poor, or maybe don't enjoy watching the latest TV shows or eating burgers, this doesn't reduce the stress of small talk.

I totally agree with what you're saying about the goal of small talk, but that the goal is simple authentication doesn't make the implementation simple or hacking it trivial. People are sniffing around for in-group stuff, and its a test you can fail quickly.

Also, if you fail, now you've fallen into the "shooting up a school" category.

So my answer: talk about the weather today, in the recent past, and projected into the future. Discuss how you both arrived at the place you are at (traffic, routes...) If you were both around when someone else said something interesting earlier, talk about that. Seize upon any answers that hint at something the person you're talking to is passionate about but that you are not passionate about. Ask questions about those. If they start to bore you to death, act like it's all too complicated for you, and either GOTO 10 or drift away. If they don't, then you're having a good time and learning something you didn't know before.
According to the OP, which borrows liberally from an earlier piece by someone else[a], the way to win for VC firms is by investing more capital, faster, with less due diligence, and at higher (market-clearing) valuations than competitors. Just throw money at things that look, you know, like promising winners. Don't waste time on things like assessing risk.

While in theory it's always possible to lose money investing in startups (gasp), there is NO mention of that possibility in this article. The concept of risk of loss appears to be... foreign to the author, I guess?

Over the past six to seven decades, the US venture capital industry has gone through a handful of boom-and-bust cycles. For example, many VC funds that launched at the peak of the last major VC boom, in 1998-2000, ended up losing 50-100% of LP capital over the next decade.

Perhaps all that "ancient" history is irrelevant now. Maybe there's no risk of loss anymore? Maybe this time it's different?

It looks like they've gotten the facts right in this case; https://urbanize.city/la/post/los-angeles-wildfire-wood-cons... has similar coverage from several months ago.

That this would make new housing more expensive, isn't generally viewed as necessary for fire safety, and is funded by the concrete industry, don't seem to be disputed?
That is a very good counter-argument, in the style of this comics I really like: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2013-07-19

The big difference is that these early quantum devices (non-scalable noisy quantum computers) are *programmable* and *universal*. It is the difference between an analog computer that can simulate one thing of fundamentally bounded size and digital computers that can simulate "anything" with *in principle* unbounded size.
Both are overly broad generalization. If you are working on a backend for a web app I would certainly not recommend Rust and it would be a big loss of productivity compared to Python or JavaScript, or even Go.

For a game it could fit in some part but you would be very limited by the ecosystem so I would also not recommend except if you really know what you are doing and have significant resources.

For low level system programing it is pretty nice, and maybe the best alternative right now.

For a compiler I would say it depends if performance is the main priority, in that case yes, otherwise no.

There are plenty of other cases of course and for each the answer would be different.

It is not really a general purpose language that you could use without worry for everything like Python, at least not yet.

Which, if I can attempt to boil it down to one sentence, would seem to be: "Tests don't seem to be a good predictor of college success, even when taking GPA into account. But they do seem to promote diversity."

And to which I would like to add, solely from anecdotal observation[1]:

"They also provide a second chance for a significant number of people. Even with a bad year, or even two, in high school -- this doesn't necessarily mean you are doomed to a lifetime of minimum wage servitude. If you have the intrinsic cognitive skills, you can easily do moderately well on the SAT, even without prepping."

I would like to consider diversity and the possibility of a second chance to be not merely incidental, but essential benefits to be striven for in the admissions process. Instead of simply stack-ranking based on the most easily demonstrable predictors of success.

I have always found the SPA abuse of the term router deeply frustrating. Routers are devices that connect separated networks. The SPA use of the term merely performs a fetch for content and then shows/hides some content on the screen in concert with the page address. Not even remotely close to functionality or challenges associated with an actual router.

Is this abuse of terminology because front-end developers have no idea how this stuff actually works or is that they don't care and want to sound smart?

Actual routers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router_(computing)
Most people don’t think like this in America or anywhere. It’s a vocal minority of fanatics and marginal personalities that has disproportionate influence due to political dysfunction.

After the civil rights era, southern democrats were politically isolated and ended up in a coalition with western resource people (oil, big agriculture, etc). This coalition ended up as this thing that focuses on a few key, hardened issues like “low taxes”, abortion and guns.

Nobody likes taxes, but the farmers and the resource people hate taxes as it is just an overhead. So you end up with these weird scenarios where small farmers passionately support a platform that puts them out of business.

Guns are another similar issue. Gun companies made a FUD business model in the 90s about the “government is taking your guns” that was very impactful on rural folk and eventually became a mainstream thing.

When you architect a political movement around fear and grievance, you create a culture of aggrieved people who thing “they” are coming to get them.

This is a UX problem, not a technical issue. I think you may be misguided in assuming that if the "www." portion was present to users that they would automatically understand the issue at hand.

This is a false assumption. Your average user has probably never realized that "www." is not optional, and that with and without it are resolving differently.

This is very much a problem that you can, and should, solve FOR your users via properly configured DNS settings. Otherwise you're picking an odd hill to die on.

I promise I mean no disrespect. In fact, to put it another way, even if Chrome did what you said, it would not solve your issue - which is users failing to reach your site. Hope you can get it sorted with your provided, or switch to another. I've had good luck with Route53 via AWS.
I think you’re rather over exaggerating. For a few emergency boot disk or very low spec, like LOAF or uLinux, sure. But even late 90s, for anything actually practical, 50mb would’ve been quite the achievement. DragonLinux was my go to “lightweight” and it was around 200mb. 50mb in the early 00s only got you the net install for Debian, and Knoppix was a whole CD.

But this is 2021. You need to do some serious pruning just to get GCC in under 1gb. 50 mb is a fucking miracle.
