Do you know of any such accidents in real life? Do you have any statistics on ejected people causing other accidents?

What about when people were saved because they were flung from a car? Like when the car catches fire, falls off a bridge, goes into the river, goes into another lane to be smacked by a truck?
This is the rule and not the exception. It seems software always takes much longer and costs much more than you think it will. The smaller the task, the better it can be estimated, and the less likely you are to veer off into crazyland.

The best solution I know would be to hire a team and use agile methodology to focus on the most important things first, breaking them down into small tasks. The team might be people you hire, or it could be people from an agency, but the project needs a strong, hands-on leader who is committed to the goal. I have never known a toss-a-big-solution-over-the-wall approach to work really well. Those projects can vary from annoying to completely dysfunctional.

That's a nice story, but teaching =/= research and I fail to see how this is related to research productivity. If anything the relation is inverse because, as you said, he doesn't have a publication record, so from the perspective of research he was basically useless.

If we are trying to improve research productivity, then removing or dramatically reducing teaching responsibilities for researchers sounds a lot more sensible. Besides, modern pedagogy is getting increasingly complicated and having teaching specialists can be much more beneficial to your average 1-2 year undergrad.

Not to diminish his teaching career, it sounds very valuable, but not in a way that's directly relevant to the OP.
> No, they're not. Urban sprawl is the result of deficient density.

That's one cause. The other cause that you seem to refuse to understand is creating the wrong kind of density. An urban centre full of 1 bedroom apartments is still going to create urban sprawl because families just can't live there, thus driving them out of the city centre even though they still work there. I just don't get why you refuse to understand this very obvious point.

Nice list. Regarding temp mail inboxes I've noticed that some sites are becoming quite wise to the many disposable email services and will prevent you from signing up using them. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of reference masterlist that's regularly updated with all these services and their alias domains.
Yeah all that is true.. but what is even worse is the relationship between "account execs" and "Decision makers". Only reason they keep getting the work are those to players.

Biking is the ideal solution. There is one significant downside, though: the practicality of biking is limited by region and time of year+day. In most places in the Southern portion of the US (regardless of coast), biking any significant distance between the hours of 8am to 9 pm is basically saying "I want heatstroke" for nearly 1/2 of the year
Try to get to know them in one on ones. If that doesn't work out, then maybe start looking for something else. But first try that. Sometimes all it takes is to find one common interest and suddenly you like talking to them. Best of luck.

"Many options to retire below the statutory retirement age result in low average labour market exit ages, at 61.8 years on average against 63.1 years for the OECD average. Granting relatively high benefits to relatively young retirees contributes to the second highest public pension expenditure among OECD countries, at 15.4% of GDP in 2019."

That enshrinement will last ~6 months. A supreme court decision on the subject of body autonomy was a far stronger form of protection than legislature ever could have been.

>And no Android inside please

To be fair, Nokia did release a nearly pure Linux (Meego) based communicator which nobody bought.

The ecosystems of Android and iOS means there is no room for competition that can be commercially successful. So if you're building a phone today it will be Android based if you actually want to sell it.
It would only work while the service is not popular and almost on one uses it. As soon as they attract the attention of copyrights holders, they will be forced to implement the same type of BS we see at youtube. The tech might might be decentralized, but you lose 99% of the benefit of decentralization when you pay a company to host it for you. Whatever good intention they may have, it's all gonna go out the window they the owners are facing a decade behind jail and/or tens of millions of dollars in fines.

It's the exact same thing with most platforms that people think will kill youtube. The only reason why they avoided implementing all the crap we hate about youtube is that they are not popular.

I think you're taking an uncharitable view of things.

The effect of the above is: "They're not allowed to forcibly eject you if doing so would make you unsafe"

For example, I was allowed to stay an extra night because I live alone and needed to coordinate a helper to safely go up my stairs.

There's a very specific set of reasons why they can hold you defined separately from this.

tl;dr if they do eject you into an unsafe envious they face liability, but not so much liability that they need to imprison you...
We cannot be confident that "science usually" overcomes faulty models. The best we can say is that science has often been seen to succeed at this, in well publicized cases. Many less visible fields might never overcome their biases. Usually a field cannot correct course until a whole generation trained on a false premise dies or retires.

Economics is a field that has been particularly resistant to correction, but is far from alone. Geology and statistics are recovering from a similar handicap.

As Max Planck is often quoted, "Science advances one funeral at a time." Often vindication is finally delivered only after all the opponents are dead, and the ultimate victor has retired from a career blighted by them. Probably much more often people are driven out of the field and never vindicated.

Lynn Conway was driven out of computer architecture (where she invented out-of-order execution in the '60s, thus long delaying that advance) before finding success many years later in VLSI chip design methods.
It doesn't what? Yes it becomes cheaper per apartment, but as I've explained elsewhere, you don't want an incentive for only one sized apartment because urban centers need a diverse set of living spaces suitable for families and bachelors alike. They all work in the city after all.
How much of that $$$ did you get to keep?
Talk to any racing driver and they will spell out the importance of seatbelts for safety and to maintain control position. For many years there were TV spots explaining why you wouldn't be disfigured if you wore one. In modern cars those films could play repeatedly on the dashboard if you failed to buckle up or sat on top of the buckled belt.

Once people understand why something is essential they will do it, but we have to keep fresh generations of drivers informed and involved imo.
> "Why would a private individual go through the legal risks of opening their land to the public? I highly doubt these lands will become public access in the future as there's zero incentive for it, despite the joke you stated."

Because they're community-minded, and doing that aligns with their values?

Our small local land trust is currently in the final stages of two easements brought to us by private landowners who wanted to open their land to the public. One of them was I would say "community" oriented, in that their land had been informally open to the public, and they wanted to formalize that access, and use it to educate the public on the value of the ecosystems in place there.

The other is I would say is also community minded, but coming more from a place of principle in that they believe more people opening their land to public use is the right thing to do, and what we should be doing as a society.

It also helps that in our state, liability for public access is essentially zero, and we have very strong legal protections for landowners who open their land.

> Is there some choice in there? Not much if you want land.

Don't buy land that's encumbered by an easement? But it's gonna cost you more.

IDK about your friend's specific situation, but one of the big benefits of agricultural easements is that they significantly reduce the value of the land, allowing (perhaps) people like your friend to afford to buy farm land who wouldn't otherwise be able to.

In the area we operate, agricultural land has shot up from about $5K/acre, to $20K+/acre in less than a decade. At those prices, no family farmers can afford to buy farm land, and the only people who can farm are multi-generational farming families who bought land decades ago and haven't sold out yet, or large corporate farms.

But that price increase is being driven by developers who want to build houses. Take away that ability, and suddenly new farmers just starting out can afford to buy some land to farm on.

True, they don't have the freedom to turn around and sell that land to housing developers, but I think that hardly turns them into serfs.

There are so many other ways to do this that are infinitely harder to track. Suppose token X is going to hockey stick. You can short a derivative that shorts X. You can long a derivative that longs X. You can leverage a lending protocol that contains X. Etc.

Very interesting. One thing I've pondered - this project contains various pieces of off the shelf hardware, and some custom 3D CAD files. These don't seem to fit as neatly into the way Git functions. Is there/has there been any attempts to replicate Git with Bill of Materials or 3D CAD data?

I think you got scammed big time, I mean, nobody who is doing big projects and has a lot on their plate is going to post on "HN: Who wants to be hired?"
A lot of resources are being "wasted" by everyone all the time. Think about the gym memberships and exercise equipment that people buy and never use. Or online courses and books that don't get consumed. Or clothes and shoes that are never worn, or food that gets thrown out. There's "waste" everywhere, but only big businesses can afford to lose this much at once, so that catches our attention. Fortunately, there's usually a selection process that makes sure those businesses don't live too long.

edit: how many discontinued google products are there? They're got to be worth tens of billions in developer costs and perhaps more in opportunity costs.

I don't understand what PeerTube is for, concretely. (I've read parts of your docs before, and understand what federation is.)

I would like to be able to host videos inexpensively, perhaps in an s3 bucket or on a raspberry pi. The free / cheap version needs to scale to at most 2-10 concurrent viewers (a more expensive version that scales indefinitely would be nice for commercial use).

It would be optionally password protected in a way that is client side encrypted (probably in a way that is transparent to the end user; such as via a key in a url, that loads a bit of javascript that fetches and decrypts the video).

That way, amazon or whoever won't accidentally decide my video is a pirated win95 iso or whatever. Also, the people in my videos won't (necessarily) have their images harvested for bulk survelliance.

I should have final say in whether the content is taken down (and own the domain name, in case I want to move to a new cloud provider).

It should be trivial to set up.

I get the impression that PeerTube meets zero of these requirements.

You stay on the same site. It fetches the video for you from the other server. For example with this URL:

https://kraut.zone/w/aWCVkSQTXKJ1yuR6o8zjDY

Kraut.zone is fetching this guy's vlog from his personal server. But you don't need to visit this random guy's site yourself or run any of his JS in your browser. But if you are really concerned about security you shouldn't even be using JS in the first place. "Le Walled Garden" is not an exception.
Thank.

Either way, this is from the oral polio vaccine. Its shelf stable, easily given to a child, and is extremely effective.

Downside? It is an attenuated virus. A weakened virus. And the stupid thing 'fixes' itself in the intestines, and causes fecal contamination with infection virus. Normal polio produces infectious poop, too. The person taking it is fine, but not always the unvaccinated around them.

So why still use it? NA and Europe don't use it anymore because of this, but it is stable and can be given orally in a non-sterile environment. You can just dropper it into a child's mouth and win. We even classically put drops onto sugar cubes so kids would find it palatable. It is the tool that's helped nearly eradicate polio in the world.

But then we get antivaxxers in the US who wouldn't even want OPV.
An interesting note in there about Meta not having a freeze on Production Engineers.

> They do, since it should be clear they were not applied by Tse. That is the issue here, not an unfiled suit in another country, when the US federal courts have jurisdiction over the unmasking process.

I mean, you can cling to whatever fantasy you want, but it doesn't change the article:

"Even though the ruling occurred in a U.S. federal court, Judge Tse said he made the ruling based on New Zealand law, as Zuru intends to sue in that jurisdiction. Therefore, the court's ruling was decided based on New Zealand law's definition of defamation, and not the U.S. legal definition."

A US judge used New Zealand law to rule in favor of giving a New Zealand company data it plans on using to sue people for defamation in a New Zealand court. So, again, the question asked by the person you originally responded to had absolutely nothing to do with US burden of proof.

The article goes even further to say "In other words, Glassdoor shouldn't be ordered to turn over 'anonymous' user data in any case solely based on U.S. law." And yet, this is exactly how Tse ruled.

So, again, the question asked by the person you originally responded to had absolutely nothing to do with US burden of proof.

Good advice, yet I'm sensing a lack of self reflection. Good-faith discussion is incumbent on all participants. You are quick to assume offense and once you perceive that you have been slighted you do nothing to try and steer the conversation back into the kind of discourse you desire. Indeed, you react with "contempt" - your words. There is a time and place for such reaction, but I feel like de-escalation and disengagement should be the go-to strategy most of the time.
