> Also, the fact that one side wishes to change the rules actually is a great argument in this discussion, because changing the rules (through the approved process) is completely different from breaking or ignoring the rules, which is what the other side is accused of doing.

Fair point. I just fear that the people who are primarily motivated by not liking the result are going to not be content with following the approved process.

> it starts from a principal that the government should generally reflect the wishes of the majority (while protecting minorities with constitutional rights that require a super-majority to change).

It goes a bit further than that. It's a republic, not a democracy, and it's that way for a reason. The founders feared direct democracy, and deliberately did not set up the US to be one. The Electoral College is part of that, but it shows up in several other places (like the existence of Congress itself).

So when you say that you want to eliminate the Electoral College to make things more democratic, I get nervous. It's a more fundamental change than many people realize, and takes a much more nuanced evaluation than just "democracy good".

And that's where I'm going to stop. Political science is a long way from my specialty, and if you're going to ask me to defend why the Electoral College is preferable to its absence, you will very quickly get me out of my depth. All I will say is, it needs much more careful consideration than just "look at the last N elections".
Kinda similar to the fault in interviewing for SW jobs as well, right?

I agree with most of what you said but the iPhone was released in 2007. This was released in 2011.

This one doesn't hold water (no pun intended). Over the next few generations, people in the US are going to have to give up a whole lot of things they like.
As a consequence of such a flawed education system, the children will end up being bad at effectively using both their mother tongue and a foreign language that they assume they know well and, in due course, they will lose their cultural identity and fail to save their own languages from going extinct.

> it was blocking the public right of way.

I don't know where their property line is precisely, but it simply isn't true that they're blocking the sidewalk. The back of their car is well clear of the sidewalk. It's not even close.

Furthermore, the city is waiving the fine if they build a roof over it. Would that make any sense if they were parking on the sidewalk? Building a roof over the sidewalk so they can continue to park on it? Obviously they're not on the sidewalk.
CO2 is not irrelevant to this story, the nitrogen produced by farming in bad for a type of growth called raised bogs that thrives only in nitrogen poor conditions. Now you might not care about this unimpressive shrugs and grasses but they are one of natures most effective ways of storing carbon.

To be honest I don't know how much this raised bogs plays a role in the carbon calculus, but the dutch government is not doing a god job explaining this.
You are going to need to provide a source for your claim that cooling is less efficient than heating. AFAIK from my days as a mechanical engineer, heating from an electric source is ~95% efficient and cooling is ~30% efficient...

I remember a company that the application page was base64 encoded.

Another asked to make a POST with your email as body and the position tittle encoded a in base64 as an auth token.

It was pretty cool and I applied mostly because I thought a company like that would be a cool place to work at!

That is a concern. An even larger concern is companies just sunsetting products. Like Amazon did with the Cloud Cam.

> 4. Think about safety. If it is in any way dangerous - don't automate.

Excellent point. I like to automate things that are dangerous but to try to make them ever so slightly better. For example - cutting power to the 3D printer after it's done printing or a couple of minutes after a serious error(couple of minutes to allow for the nozzle to cool down while still under active cooling).

Automating a pool cover would be a bad idea indeed.
Minor quibble, but add Charles Dance to your big name actors list. I can't think of any others though... dinklage was kind of known I guess?
They came together most likely because they were detected in the same/similar analysis.
There are probably hundreds of analysis performed in parallel on the LHCb data sets, by different sub-groups of the collaboration, looking at different reactions / channels etc. It could also be that they grouped several results together because they are similar. There is always an internal review process, and committee meetings (for the final "go ahead, publish") can impose a granularity on the time of release. Could also be that the paper is already on the arXiv for days, and this is just the common press release.

A few years ago I saw this coming and invented the Waterless Toilet. It's like a kitty litter box but for people who live in areas like those discussed in the article. Why scramble for toilet water when you can just use the Waterless Toilet?

The problem to me is that cities in the Bay don't actually go around enforcing this unless someone reports it, which turns it into a form of proxy war.

There's a woman in my neighborhood that caused quite a commotion over the state of my yard. A yard that my landlord is responsible for maintaining. The same woman went on a war path about cars parked on the street for more than two days time. She only enforces this on half the street though, people fortunate enough to live more than six houses down from her don't have to deal with her presence.

There's this attitude here that because rent is so high people are entitled to input on their surroundings and each other. Ironically, maybe sadly, when she tried to throw her rent in my face I found out that I pay nearly double that. Of course, a good example of this attitude is in the comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31990882

> the problem in the Netherlands is mostly ammonia

This is not true, and the article you're linking to doesn't support your claim. The majority of the nitrogen containing emissions are NOx. About the differences in harmfulness between both gasses not much is known, at least not when it's about soil pollution. NOx is a powerful greenhouse gas though, while NHx is not.
Running your own data centers is a form of vertical consolidation, which is a strategy. Specialization is the opposite strategy. A single company may strategically decide to specialize some things and vertically consolidate others.

The dollars-and-cents are details. Those matter, of course, but don't base your entire analysis there. Staying vertically integrated may help fedex be 4.713% more profitable today, but might miss out on important growth areas and become a dinosaur. Or maybe the important growth areas involve data center innovations, and staying vertically integrated allows them to exploit those opportunities. So it's not always an easy decision, but it involves more than the present-day costs.

To my way of thinking one of the defining characteristics of a discovery is that it is unexpected, so a confirmation of a theoretical prediction doesn't count.
This is all true, except that the markup for a rental can be so high that owning something, even for fairly low utilization, can be less expensive.
And you're wrong, and ignoring people who are trying to educate you. Ramping down the number of Dutch cattle over 8 years or whatever is not taking affordable food out of the mouths of poor people in the third world.
The concern is that e.g. Facebook will use their might to push a less-privacy-respecting app store, or use the threat of that to get Apple to loosen privacy protections. Google will almost certainly promote Chrome the same way they have everywhere else, and gain a lot of traction mostly from users who just did it because Google said to and they clicked "OK", not because they actively want Chrome (same as how they took over the desktop).

The main argument against the first concern seem to be "there aren't any successful alternative app stores on Android (seems there are in China, but OK, let's allow that) so it doesn't matter", but 1) iOS is a different market—far more lucrative per user, far more spending by users so the ecosystem is less ad-dependent, and with more restrictions on bad behavior by apps than Google imposes and 2) if that's true, why is it important to do this in the first place?

The main argument against the latter is... well, I haven't seen anything even as good as the above. Just "yeah but I hate Safari because I'm a web app developer, so I don't care if Google owns the entire web as long as it means I can use Bluetooth from the web browser on iOS"
Hum... The US business all already converted from the GP's mindset, and the US automakers still need to be rescued from time to time.

I'm betting it is not this kind of thinking exactly that causes the problem.

I think it's more likely that this would technically mean suicide for Facebook (or whoever would try this). And if users actually follow then the bet paid off and the users deserve what's coming to them.

Yep.

And unlike Netflix, Amazon has deep pockets, to take such a huge gamble.

Personally, based on everything I've heard I've set my expectations to be very low.

I could take it or leave it.

I'll wait for people to watch it and if they tell me it's not good I won't even bother.

I love this series so much to not sully my memories of it by even watching this to find out just how bad it is.

I don't need the currency of being able to bitch about it or complain or to say that I knew it was gonna suck.

That's how much I like the original Peter Jackson movies.

Wow. I live adjacent to Beverly Hills and this kind of parking is extremely common there; I think they’re otherwise pretty uptight about neighborhood aesthetics so I really don’t understand the issue.

They could also use the street in front of their house and pay nothing, it's like 3 meters away. I agree that it's a weird law to throw at them, maybe they obstructed the sidewalk sometimes? It doesn't make sense, but the video someone posted above shows the pavement strip is barely enough for the car.
I have been using fastmail as a single personal account for the past year or so, so I don't have much to add to your technical assessment. However, I have been considering changing providers because of the political position of the Australian government. I've done a cursory search just now and can't find anything to back up my opinion, but my impression is that they have a pretty permissive stance on gov't access to data or just crappy Internet privacy laws, which I disdain. I have been thinking about making the jump to protonmail as my provider instead.

Because they know that politicians will step in and have the government pay their bill. Too rich to fail.

I have a handful of abstract urinals to remind me of exactly this perspective. It’s a very strong position on the question, as I see it. That’s a long winded way of saying: precisely, glad you mentioned Duchamp’s urinal.

I do think the answer to the question of what is art has something to do with using a human mind to create a shareable experience (incl. visual representation or tangible object). I believe the gardens at the historic plantation houses near me are art, but probably less so my neighbors dual flowerbed / produce garden. If the output of the process is entirely functional, I don’t think it’s art.

clarifying this would require more words and thoughts than I can come up with at this moment

That's a poor comparison both since banks always work a bit differently and since the US Gov made back their money on the bailout.
I hated the ending of HIMYM at first, but now I'm good with it.

Part of my change in heart comes from rewatching the series, it seems to me that they had this as the intended ending all along. I also think it serves as an interesting commentary on the notion of love and romantic attachments that Ted struggles with throughout the show.

But overall I am frustrated with the film industry's overall obsession with subverting expectations. Viewers want some sort of payoff, and withholding that can really burn people who've invested time into watching content (especially for long running TV shows). You can sometimes achieve payoff even while subverting expectations, but too often you end up with an incoherent mess.
Sure, but on average less than northern cities.

At the end of the day, I don't actually care about moralizing what's wasteful or not if the owner is being charged the proper cost to acquire. If that's $1 a gallon for solar and desalination/recycled water, enjoy that lawn.

(Pedantic person side note: pools are not actually that wasteful. If they are properly covered when not in use, evaporative loss is actually pretty minimal).
I mean at least have good design… that was a bad use of the web medium.

I guess I would differ in describing it that way as well. Anything north of Baghdad on Day 18 was not a key battle at all, despite the Javelin playing a somewhat exaggerated role. Reading the wiki entry, it sounds like the ODAs were almost overrun despite the Javelin, and were saved by F-18s flying CAS.

There is nothing in this article which would prohibit the gatekeepers to extensively warn the user when accessing these features. Apple had tons of trust from its users. They can just say that this third party usage is dangerous one the first time and re - reporting bad usage later.
Renting.

I observe in myself this weird thing: Buying an RV feels like an investment, but renting one feels like throwing money away. But in actual fact, buying an RV is throwing away much more money than renting one. And I probably would not ever use the RV enough for it to be a winning proposition to buy one.

Now, a vacation home is different, because you can resell it when you're done with it. By the time you pay taxes and maintenance over the years, though... are you really very much ahead compared to renting? (I haven't done the numbers. I don't know. But I'd encourage you to look very carefully at whether buying is really what you want to do.)
So I suspect we're in a stage similar to where early muskets were vs bows. Barely better, possible even worse. But we're on a path that let's us unlock many advancements. i.e. autonomous surgery.

False dichotomy. Not procreating does not imply a life of self-indulgence. Just like choosing to not sleep 5 hours a night and getting a 2nd job during the freed up hours to donate the proceeds to charity or imposing any other needless hardship on yourself imply a life of self-indulgence.
If I had a magic wand, I'd create a non-profit, funded by the world's governments, to host the bulk of the world's videos. Wojcicki's Youtube doesn't care if when a user browses the site, it's like wading through a sea of garbage, as long as the user browses for as many hours as possible.

And Benioff and Weiss, for whatever criticisms people want to throw at them for the final season, were experienced writing/producing partners who had successfully adapted material before. Benioff is the one who pursued adapting ASOIAF with GRRM (and convinced GRRM that he understood the property and also that it was better suited for premium television, not as a feature film), got the HBO deal, and started working on it in 2006, along with GRRM. He wasn’t just installed by the studio to be the showrunner — he was the guy that worked to get the deal done for 5 years before it even debuted.

No one involved in this project appears to have the same level of involvement. Instead of someone like David Benioff bringing a property to the network to adapt and develop, Amazon spent out the ass in a bidding war over the rights and then hired people to run the show.

That can obviously work just fine, but in general, it works better when the showrunners and producers are the ones that pursued the material and sold it to the network (or steamer, in this case).
What do you mean? make has no particular requirements regarding the file structure. You can write a single giant Makefile covering a directory tree with thousands of source files in various directories.
You can request and get a full copy of your data anywhere, and be fully deleted if you want. Every company has become aware and afraid of data leaks because they are required to report them.

Here we are, meticulously crafting open-source programming languages, libraries, operating and distributed systems, only for people to squander the knowledge and freedom on closed ecosystems like Apple's and Google's, and, in the data-center world, the top three cloud behemoths.

> In Roe, the court didn't write a law saying abortion was legal. It struck down laws stating that it was illegal. That's an important difference.

That's a good distinction, but that distinction was not well-founded as a matter of jurisprudence, if my understanding of Alito's opinion in Dobbs is correct.

Roe had SCOTUS getting far over its interpretive skis, into societal matters that had a corrosive effect on the court, as witnessed by Sen. Ted Kennedy's character assassination of Robert Bork on the Senate floor some 15yrs after Roe.
