I thought the same thing but ultimately, many organisations want loads of exceptions to the standards for whatever reason. My wife is a Solicitor and when I proposed this, she laughed. There are already standard legal forms in the UK for many things but it never works out like that.

Even if the general intention is to use standard contracts, each company will have its own concerns: "Our ships are cheaper but a little older, we should reduce the amount of liability accordingly", "We use cheaper off-shore staff so we need to add clauses around languages etc." All of these add up to the mess that we end up with in the Ts and Cs.

No it isn't the only option, plenty of languages are available, specially if automatic memory management is an option on the specific deployment scenario.

Usually we land on Rust only discussions, due to more active advocacy that should known better to avoid tiring the audience, or by defensive attittude from unsafe language folks that push back every single reference to write secure software as a sales pitch for Rust.
This.

Plus, political speech is the "most protected" type of speech in the US. Pretty much anything campaign-related falls under that umbrella. Couple that with the explicit exemptions ldoughty mentions and we tend to get a constant stream of political spam in the lead up to election day (where "lead up" for a presidential election starts about 2 years out - le sigh).

Even worse, SCOTUS ruling over the last decade or so have reaffirmed that donations to political causes are speech, dark-money PACs are legal (donor disclosure not required), and all sorts of other things that many of us view as problematic.
Your second paragraph is phrased as a fact, but it's an opinion. It's probably true today, but it can't actually be a factual statement, because we don't know what we don't know.

Secret ballots in parliament would help mitigate the effects of bribery because there would be no way to confirm a quid pro quo.

That assumes the cattle are eating only grass, when in fact they are fattened for months on grain that has been irrigated.
I think you got their intent in sharing their belief correct; but their belief is wrong.

If you remove A as a choice, or B, people might go with their next preferred option instead of just not voting at all, etc.

This means you can't know for sure that results would equal the same with or without that option, because you cannot actually assume all actors will vote the same every time. To even begin to think such a thing as true is just asinine when the world proves to us on a daily basis that people are willing to compromise on their beliefs all the time. (No offense.)
Yeah wow that is quite possibly the most tone-deaf thing I've ever read on here. Plenty of people don't have the option to simply "not live in a food desert".

I don't use food delivery services, but I think those mostly operate over text which could as well use email. Certainly takeout orders notify me of status over email or text, not call. If I need customer support, I send them an email and operate over email.

Curable in all cases or just early after a type II diagnosis? I think once you lose it that's it.

The pancreas insulin output is low that's type II diabetes. From my understanding the pancreas, an organ, is damaged and can't regenerate like all organs except the liver (sort of). Like a rotten tooth can't regrow an organ once damaged there's no repair. Pancreatitis is what I'd see as a reversible situation since it's inflammation of the pancreas but not damaged yet.
No, I don't even remember when I lied last time, no matter whether online or IRL, I may skip information I don't wanna reveal or avoid answering, but I try to deliberately lie as little as possible, because that's behavior reserved for children and disgusting people. Honestly I should not be even answering in this thread to encourage liar in his lies.
"We aren't big enough to self-host" is an example of the effectiveness of SaaS sales pitches.

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of good reasons to go cloud.

There's not a lot of good reasons for a build system to be completely down with no backup plans when your SaaS provider has an outage.

What does even just Github Actions' availability look like for March? 90%? That's pretty brutal for what should be a five nines service.
Complexity is virtually zero. The most non-technical of person could set it up. Cost however is a valid point, but like OP I rationalize the cost.
>Stopped using Debian a long time ago

>I'll be using a different version of Linux.

I'm not disagreeing with the rest of your reply, but these are nonsensical statements in context. It's presenting an assumption that the governance systems in other versions are better. I've seen a lot of projects with BDFL leaders and no voting whatsoever. Linux itself is famous for permanently keeping a BDFL in charge and not really having voting, so in some sense we might be able to say they all suffer from a lack of voting methods in some areas.
He could consider a year of community college and reapply? I went straight from community college to a top 10 public university and it was the best decision I ever made. Some might even have guaranteed admission? Good way to save money too.
I've skimmed your post, and I honestly feel like the content is not the main issue here, but the fact that it was written and published. You could share how you prefer to interact with people if the need arises, preferably by addressing them directly about the points that are relevant for your interactions, and without giving them the impression that you've handed in a list of preferences.
Although the word "methane" doesn't appear in this article, that's the source of the energy we're talking about here.

I live in Houston and the amount of methane energy that is released and burned here without turning any turbines is just ridiculous. Even though most crypto is bunkum, we could do anything with that gas to capture it or turn it into electricity and that would be SO much better than just flaring it off.

Not only do regular production facilities throw away methane fuel (and we have some of the world's most extensive), so do natural flare spots, new digs, and other construction like putting in telephone polls. You would be blown away (cough, cough) by the amount of raw energy under the ground here in Texas that we are not capturing, a conversation which seems especially germane in light of the world's current energy situation and the conflict in Europe.

A few months ago, I was shocked to see a huge column of flame 20 feet in the air just beside a busy local road I was traveling. I can only assume that some natural gas pocket had been exposed by the construction going on there and the gas company had to immediately send out a flaring device to keep the area safe.

If someone could invent a portable methane capture/conversion device, that person would not only become a billionaire, he or she could substantially contribute to improving the world's energy efficiency by not throwing away so much gas we already produce.
> I recently saw one child into college, and have another on the way. I've spoken to many admissions officers, counselors, and similar folks making admissions choices for public and private universities.

> To a one, they all claim to be looking for two things: (1) students who will succeed at their university, and (2) a diverse range of students to avoid a monoculture.

> This means they try to look at the "whole student."

In the 1920s, "look at the whole student" meant "exclude Jews". In fact, the whole modern "holistic" admissions process was brought into being to exclude Jews [1]. And the "holism" of the process was instrumental to creating the desired racial bias, as "holism" affords tremendous room for subtle biases to entrench themselves. This persists today in Harvard's "personal rating" bias against Asians, which launders anti-Asian bias out to the wider society that rates those students.

I do not think that admissions officers are hellbent on racial exclusion today, but I also do not think that admissions officers can be trusted to describe the full nature and biases of their processes.

This is basically what single-family zoning is. People noticed that most people express a preference for detached housing with extra space, so they made the alternatives illegal. The problem is that this ignores a pretty fundamental fact about economics (and the universe itself) -- people have to be free to make tradeoffs.

In some sense I prefer a Lamborghini to the Hyundai I own. I guess everybody would. So why don't we make the Hyundai illegal? Because all things are not equal and when I'm free to weigh my options I make tradeoffs. In my case, I have decided I would rather own the worse car, so that I have the flexibility to use my money for other things.

Some people would prefer to do this with apartments, too -- maybe to save money or maybe to be close to the urban center or for some other reason -- except that most cities have made them illegal in most districts. It's no good to say in the abstract, "most people prefer houses to apartments, so developers should only be allowed to build houses." People don't make decisions in the abstract. They have constraints. They weigh tradeoffs.

Single-family zoning is a bunch of rich people making Hyundais illegal, because they're rich enough to ignore the tradeoffs and they think it's pretty obvious that everybody prefers a Lamborghini, anyway. Meanwhile, the rest of us would really like the option to buy a Hyundai -- the option to make tradeoffs.

The point about the American election is that if people knew going into the vote that it was a popular vote across the country, voting behavior would change.

Many people don’t vote at all because their preferred president has a 0% chance of winning their state and the vast majority of states are winner-take all with the electoral votes

Oh great, so first you steal our property, then we have to beg you for a portion of the money you make from it.

No thanks.

Why are you blathering on about failed business models? We have a perfectly good business model. However, our business model doesn't fit with people stealing our intellectual property. Please, just stop.

Yes and: I'm fascinated by 5-4's critiques of law, the legal system (in the USA), law school, courts, and so forth. https://www.fivefourpod.com

IANAL. Emphatically. I just can't wrap my head around it all. I'm an outsider looking in, from a distance. But it seems important, like something I should know. So I've been reading books. Mostly stuff from the library. But I still don't feel any smarter about this stuff.
I am using it now because the team is using it, but cant figure out in which way it is supposed to be better then Eclipse. It looks somehow better, but it seems strictly inferior in terms of what it does for me.
I recently left Google after spending a few years there.

Internally Google puts a huge premium on user safety and privacy. So much so that shipping anything requires getting changes through a regulatory process to safeguard users.

Google doesn’t do a good job of marketing its process. In some domains Google does explicitly use user behavior to drive revenue, so from the outside it becomes easy to spin changes like this as encroaching on user privacy, but I don’t see that here. I see something like a PM who is trying to surface some more functionality to users directly, and some engineers who spent far too long with lawyers to get sign off on this change.

It may be fashionable to sensationalize product changes like this, but the truth is often more mundane.

Edit: found a comment from the PM themselves in a previous discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30174304
I was with you until this:

> Instead of living in a huge house and needing a lawnmower, move to an apartment (and vote for more compact housing zoning).

Or stay on your land, learn to grow food, eat healthy and profit from selling your excess to those poor depressed souls trapped in tiny boxes.

Because if my future is in an apartment I might as well get a better carbon footprint right now by killing myself.
I would naively expect that this problem is easiest to solve for languages like JSON that have an unambiguous way to be pretty printed.
TL;DR:

The idea is straightforward: When extra water rushes through the state’s waterways, some of that could be “peeled off” and diverted to fields, recharge basins, wells, or other floodable sites.
People eat way more beef than almonds, in sum. So, beef production is an enormously bigger drain on water than almonds.

That said, most of the almonds are grown by a billionaire on stolen water.
Rural infrastructure is not necessarily equivalent to the impact/cost of the suburbs. Your average suburban house has municipal sewer/water, long natural gas runs and paved roads. A Rural house is more likely to have gravel roads, a well/septic and propane or electric heat.
> Why is this an argument?

Who said it was an argument? It's merely an observation of what I've witnessed here on HN: endless sentiment about rust and how everything should have been written in it.

The linux kernel was initially written 30+ years ago. Rust didn't exist. C did. Complaining about it being written in C does nothing to benefit anyone.

> I'd be very happy if in 40 years there's something better than Rust.

Me too.

Slight tangent, but boy do some companies take offense when an employee exercises that right, even as they hold the threat of termination over their employees.
I hate this dystopia you people envision of living packed like sardines in a can.

I've lived in both (most recently moved out of a house about a year ago and into an apartment), and prefer apartments for a lot of reasons of reasons too numerous to list here.

I wouldn't bike, either. Distances are too long

Well, duh. You just said that you chose to live in a rural area. No kidding distances are too long. That was your choice. But if you live in a city, they're not. Because of my jobs, I've gone back-and-forth between city life and rural/suburban life several times. Every time I move back to a city, I'm so happy to sell my cars and not have a car payment; or pay for car insurance; pay for gas; oil changes (which are expensive now); worrying about it getting dinged, scratched, stolen, or crashed into. Cars were fun when I was a teen-ager. But I'm an adult now, and have better things to do with my life and money.

A lot more people think like me.

Because real estate agents, real estate developers, and construction companies spend billions on advertising to make people think that way. Congratulations, they've successfully implanted all these fears into your mind, and you fell for them.

We didn't work so we could move back into cities and live like broke 25 year olds.

Older, wealthier, people tend to move into cities because the benefits of city living outweigh the hassles and expense of living in the suburbs.

Chicago's Lake Shore Drive isn't lined with apartment buildings with students "packed like sardines." They're filled with $5-$20 million condos inhabited by bankers, lawyers, and the people who own the companies that the people who live in the suburbs work for.

Rethinking price plans to support a fast growing and changing customer base
What is your preferred alternative? Make employment itself a right? How do you unload poor performers (who exist in great quantity)? It is already hard enough to do that, given the direct costs of replacing an employee. And what effect would this have on people who are looking for a new job? Companies would have fewer openings, and more reluctance to fill them.
What that means is that you don't live in a city in a republican state. For the past couple decades, the GOP has gotten increasingly brazen about reducing the number of polling places for the people they don't want to vote.
I agree, the idea that the government can't afford it is odd. When the lockdowns started, both parties quickly agreed to the pandemic bailout, because well, saying no would've meant political suicide.

The US will never suffer Greece or Venezuela-style bankruptcy because the whole world will go down with it considering the US dollar's status. And what is credit other than trust, if I loan Bob some money I trust Bob will be able to pay it back, now Bob might get hit by a truck or start a gambling habit and his ability to pay me back would be reduced/gone, but the USA will always have income in the form of tax from productive people paying them.

Then again maybe that's too simplistic, the USA could suffer an even worse political gridlock than what it currently has and grind to a halt.

I think the Streams designers did an amazing job. One of my favorite things about modern Java.

I stand behind Debian to do votes in secrecy. During the RMS issue, I've seen many people who did not have their ferocity under control. This went as far as people wanting to have the "others" removed from the Debian project.

People not being able to cast their vote without having to fear repercussions is justification enough for secret votes.

If you put it as:
