Isn't this what escrow accounts exist for? The airline shouldn't hold your money in the interim, someone else does. If the airline cancels, you get it back, if you fly or otherwise breach the contract (no show, cancel your ticket) then they get it.

It's basically insurance at this point, but someone just has to set up a company that buys your ticket for you and handles the legal cases (eg they pay out to you and start a reconciliation process with the airline) in the event of a default from either side.

But the “legal right” is being free from search and seizure. The warrant process is a way of controlling the government’s power to conduct searches of private property that private individuals can’t do.

The police can’t use a contract broker as a middle man to do what they can’t do themselves. For example they can’t hire someone else to knock down your door and search your house. But that has nothing to do with buying data about you from a third party that legally has it.

1 million for 500k and sold for 10m is a 9.5 million dollar profit

1 million for 490k and sold for 10 million is a 9.5 million profit.

10k is a rounding error.
There are plenty who don't really engage in work during regular working hours.

I lead a team and don't ask for overtime and try to shield my reports from such demands from above. It's not a good long term strategy, I prefer maximizing the productivity of regular work hours with clear expectations and planning.

I try to keep their plates clear of overhead so they can focus on the work. But getting real engagement is difficult for some of them. Some are really engaged and it's easy to tell. They pro actively solve their problems instead of being blocked by any little thing that happens. Others figuratively toss their hands in the air and point fingers at others as to why they couldn't finish a thing, regarding items they could have done something about.

I'm not sure I completely buy this idea that it's all managements fault. Some employees default mode, as you say, is non engagement. Maybe a golden manager they love could trigger that. But mostly they are just lazy.

Some are, indeed, a reflection of their belief that their work matters. But this group, that's "in play" to be influenced is maybe 30-50% in my experience, and is heavily dependent on hiring.

Some rare few are just workers and ignore the issues.
A reason that is not explained, so I'm going to assume is something petty. There are a couple of instances of sites doing this (for HN and other referral sources) because people said things they didn't like about them (or just in general) on the platform.
Just don't mess up your system. The tutorial linked works perfectly fine in a clean python environment.

That XKCD is more about messing up your system by not knowing what you're doing but randomly following shitty tutorials which suggest stuff that collide with each other... Python's only fault in this is that it's a simple language and thus attracts people who aren't software engineers (students and math majors) and thus mostly don't know or care how to keep your system clean but love writing tutorials.

It's pretty easy to keep your pythons clean, don't use conda, never run pip with sudo, never run pip with --user..., never run pip outside a virtualenv (a good safety measure for that is to have pip point to nothing in your user shell, you can access system python with python3/pip3 if needed)... To check your python is clean, create a new environment and run pip freeze, it should output nothing.

pyenv is a non-destructive system for managing multiple pythons and virtualenvs (all pythons and envs get installed into ~/.pyenv), pip is a good system for distributing dependencies (when library authors don't skip out on providing binary wheels, and software authors use pip freeze to generate requirements.txt files).

Would this “improper noun” concept be an extension of “term of art” (which is also used in the article) ?

I fully agree with the author, on the importance of being aware they exist. The insure example is apt, and people also get tripped by law and contracts wording that refer to specific concepts which are barely related to the word used.
If you have your ID, you go up to the counter and they reprint your ticket.
They already put capabilities on the box. The problem is that it's not visible to the end user what is required. Simple color bands would help a lot.

This problem can never be solved. Where there are improvements over the same connector, you need some way to identify. Either with a simple solution such as colors or markings, or with on-screen / audio feedback.
This earlier article is far more interesting; most importantly it contains the words the professor actually said; the quote in the headline of the article you link is disputed.

SwiftUI/Swift and Jetpack Compose/Kotlin for us - despite using react for other stuff, we find these native languages to be very nice to use and productive. Also, if you’re targeting a featured by Apple badge using their native technology is a huge plus vs react native.

Furthermore, authority and credibility are becoming increasingly important in search performance, implying that you should incorporate reputation management into your SEO strategy.

ThatWare is provides professional seo services by learning about your company’s goals, brand identity, market, and competitive landscape and then develops a tailored plan to bring you there.
The comment was that many Portuguese fail to benefit from the EU.

You called this bullshit and write that many Portuguese have already left.

Both can be true, and you admit as much:

> Those who stayed behind, either stayed because they benefit from the cronyism or are held back by family or lack of marketable skills.

This is what we're talking about, it appears the author is being held back by family.

Many people have voted with their feet and left, and many haven't, both are true.
That’s not an issue. My typical cruise descent profile on a VFR flight is to roll in a small amount of nose down trim and fly at full cruise power around 300 feet per minute for most of the descent, using the stored potential energy to increase speed.

Nearer the airport, I’ll make a power reduction and continue to convert that potential energy to forward travel, eventually putting out gear and flaps.

There’s more than enough drag for any reasonable descent profile to allow the potential energy to be used to move forward without gathering excessive speed.

Power off, I can glide around 1.5 nautical mile for every 1000’ of elevation I have to use.
It takes a huge amount of arrogance for a newcomer to waltz in and declare that a site's norms and standards are merely reflective surfaces used to build an imagined echo chamber. I frequently disagree with these same norms and bump up against them as well, I just don't whine about it. Few things reveal the weaknesses of your arguments more than complaining that the tools to enforce these norms are somehow unfair or indicative of anything other than the fact that (apparently) most people have better things to do than engage with arguments which they feel are beneath them.

If you read, it’s promising that EVs can actuallly be upgraded with tech that will have EVs plugged in will be a great help. And banning them now isn’t going to have a meaningful impact on the number of EVs this summer.

The thing that’s despicable is the lack of nuclear power. A few more plants would completely stabilize the grid.
The only problem here is the need to get a lawyer and the way it takes three months.

When I don't pay a fine in 14 days it doubles. So institute the same thing with a 30 day SLA and remove any paperwork requirement when the flight is cancelled or delayed by the most excessive amount.
It's not obvious to me that this qualifies as "AI-produced". The actual response is a form email, and GPT-3 is getting used as a, like, parser for the recruiter email.
Burn out is one reason to never give your all. Often you can do enough and the extra effort doesn’t provide extra utility. This goes back to the bogus educational demand that you should always work hard and do your best at school. I never bought into this and applied the metric of just doing enough to attain the goal, grade, or what have you. Doing more has much less RoI. Teachers don’t like this attitude but it’s what makes for entrepreneurs a success.
The answer varies wildly with your role.

In some roles, effort put toward your job description aligns neatly with improving your personal career path. E.g. as a salesman, you want to get a lot of contacts and develop a good reputation. It's what the company wants from you, but it's also going to be a great personal asset for when you move on.

In others, they're entirely unrelated. E.g. you got hired as a code monkey and the company just wants you to crank out CRUD forms as fast as possible, it doesn't need another senior developer or architect.
Personally i didn't know it even existed
This seems like an area for AI research. These are the points where a general AI will have a hard time, because language parsing is not enough. It has to “know” the context -of say MIT’s Green Building vs green building- and be able to determine which is being referenced. Maybe not the best example, but here is one interpretation from Dall-e, which I assume is not accurate: https://labs.openai.com/s/DQQ2lJP0psNqIGLy3XJa4usg
Yes, but you could easily defeat this limit by switching to a /48, which gives you 65536 /64 subnets. Of course, even bigger IPv6 allocations are easy to get.
There’s a need for language filter for another reason: number imbalance. The trending page used to be full of Chinese projects with an absurd number of stars, so no non Chinese project could be featured on the trending page.

At some point I actually tried to read some of these projects and they often were complete garbage (empty repositories or disgusting code) or completely specific to China. The useful projects tended to have an English readme anyway.

This honestly made me realize there’s kind of a fracture in open source between China and the west: Chinese don’t speak English, and the west doesn’t speak Chinese. It’s almost like they have parallel libraries for everything we routinely use. Which makes sense because we rarely provide Chinese documentation on our projects.
I think a lot of this is just depression from the social isolation of the Covid years. I have a hunch a lot of people didn't fare too well from this.

Not finding any joy or meaning in what you do and sort of just going through the motions while ruminating about how hopeless and pointless everything is, that's fairly textbook stuff.
are almost all these HN comments from extroverts? :))
Thanks, but I'm not a newbie by any means.

Yes, names are necessary. I just wish there was a clear indication that they are names. Nobody is confused by the term “Dedekind cut” because it's clearly a name.

This is partly a fault of English (or other natural languages) and partly of math nomenclature.
Just yesterday I was reading Introduction to computing systems by Patt&Pattel when I realized: I'll never finish this book.

I have other big books lying around my home: OSTEP, Algo Design Manual by Skienna, SICP, Designing Data-Intensive Applications, Computer Systems A programmer perspective. They are all wonderful, that's why I bought them in print, but I'll never gonna finish them.

On top of that I'm doing a course on Docker. Learning more about Go etc.

So to answer your question. I no longer decide on what things to learn based on them being finisheable. I pick whatever I want to do today. Life is too short to do things you don't enjoy.

I'll never gonna finish my projects, but I have something to do everyday. I'm grateful for that.
Which airport are you flying out of where TSA takes five hours? I fly out of ATL - the worlds busiest airport - and it never took more than an hour. This was before I got TSA PreCheck last year.
Actually, yes! I don't work on any of the OSes you mentioned here though, and I haven't touched the kernel in a while.
This is hard to answer without knowing what kind of business you're building. A rough rule of thumb which I've said before is, if your business is highly or entirely dependant on mobile (often B2C apps) then go native and build for whichever platform is dominant in your region/industry first. The reason is to remove a dependency between your dev team and the target platform. The project I'm on right now went with SwiftUI/Jetpack Compose, I would use SwiftUI only if you can target the latest OS and stay far away from it on macOS. I haven't used it for a while but I've heard React Native has also gotten a lot better lately.
Felt like they were ineffective and that the Barrington recommendations were a better approach to follow, especially as time went on and more data on the nature of it emerged.
I'd argue that they are, but that Rockefeller era capitalists were fine replacing workers that died, to whom they likely gave little training back then

perhaps you value workers more than they did? not that there's anything wrong with that

I reframed it in such a way to make it abundantly clear that the problem can be solved at any point with the judicious application of new taxes.

That guy with $11 just needs to lose most of it or not be able to spend it and then there is no more apples shortage "due to high demand".

Portugal cant tax an overly rich canadian living in canada but they can absolutely cut the bottom out of the portuguese-property-market-as-a-bitcoin-like-store-of-wealth. This would not only free up land for portuguese habitation it would help fill the portuguese budget hole.

However, for some reason that is probably more about a variety of property owning portuguese politicians getting very rich and not attracting useful investment, the Portuguese government encouraged this with the golden visa. They only cut porto and lisbon out of the program after a steep backlash.
This article defines the concept "improper noun" as a phrase that carries a specific meaning that may be different from its colloquial meaning. Such phrases can be confusing because they carry a double meaning, and because most people would only be familiar with only one of them - the colloquial meaning.

I believe that this confusion is strongest for native speakers. When you learn a language as a secondary language, you get used to pattern-match phrases in the new language. At first, each phrase is just a combination of words that you have to learn what they mean, one by one. After a while, you start to see the connection between phrases and their words, but you still retain that ability to simply pattern-match phrases and assign an arbitrary meaning to them. As a native speaker, it is much easier to interpret the colloquial meaning and you may have to almost force yourself to pattern-match the non-colloquial meaning.

I would also think that there are several subjects of study that may be helpful in interpreting these improper nouns:

* Mathematics. You soon get used to the style of thinking that starts with an assumption and proceeds to reason around the assumption, without defining exactly what the assumption is. "Assume we have a number, i, that satisfies i^2 = -1", and so on. It is straightforward to extend this type of thinking to improper nouns.

* Programming. In programming, we just define things, such as variable names or classes, and then we use them. The same thinking can be applied to improper nouns.

* Law. In contracts and agreements, is important to have precise meaning of every term, so contracts often start by explicitly defining all terms used in the contract. This type of thinking is easy to extend to improper nouns.
2 objections:

I don't think talent is moving in - at least in tech, there are lots of foreign companies opening offices and hiring local talent.

And for number two, it seems you're part of the problem the article mentions. You comain about how long it takes to work in a property you're INVESTINF in - but Portuguese people are struggling to afford property to LIVE in. That's the crisis, rich people investing in property makes it more expensive for poor people to own it.

I lived in Lisbon for a while. After expenses and a bedroom rent, my whole salary was spent, for a bedroom in a apartment shared with 3 other people. Many of my work colleagues lived in the peripheries and took more than 45 minutes to get to work, or more than 1.5 hours of daily commute. That's what the majority of Lisboets are being forced to, such that tourists and investors can have their happy lives.

This type of investment is causing lots of problems, and society should prioritize housing as a place to live in, not as a business to invest in. There are lots of other ventures for investors that don't ruin people's lives.
Many of them could, in fact, stop being vocal. They did not have an incentive to. They had an incentive to be/become vocal.

That's the fundamental issue which has very little to do with extraversion. The world rewards loudness, and most attempts at making the world slower and more silent are actively thwarted.
Portuguese living in Lisbon here -- I deeply agree with the parent comment. Prior to covid, it was very common to hear stories where families were to put all their savings into new mortgages to buy more AirBnBs.

I also see a bright future in Portugal. Many young people that moved out after university want to come back, after making a killing in their career. They might earn less with the move, but you don't need a six digit salary to live very comfortably here.

The entire Low Code / No Code and RPA / IPA markets exist for this. Airtable, App Smith, etc are a modern, web-based take on Access.

I’m curious what porting wxwidgets involved — are you rendering them with the 2D canvas API, WebGL, or is all the rendering done by WxWidgets and you just have to send a framebuffer into a canvas?
I don't think it's that simple. Inline engines have less frontal area, yes, but then you need a radiator which will add back quite a bit of drag. Further, as Kurt Tank demonstrated with the, at the time, revolutionary FW 190, it's possible to make a very low drag radial engine installation. These ideas were then used in the Tempest II and Sea Fury, which were among the fastest piston engined planes ever made.

Further, I'd say in history there's a lot of path dependence here (in aviation engine development as well as elsewhere, obviously) as well rather than 'pure' arguments based on the best option for a from scratch design. As it wasn't clear at the time which engine type would 'win', major powers developed both lines in parallel, if for no other reason but to not be so much behind their competitors in case some development would cause one of the engine types to clearly pull ahead.

WWII showed that both air cooled radial and water cooled inlines could be used for top of the line fighters for the entire conflict. After the war, it was clear that for speed jets were going to be the future and there wasn't the wartime pressure to keep any and all production lines going at maximum capacity, so aircraft designers had more leeway in choosing powerplants. Perhaps it was because US multi-engine aircraft designers were familiar with radials and it was clear to them they were plenty good enough, perhaps it was better reliability, but radials they chose (with some exceptions, obviously).
French TGV routinely has service speeds of 320 km/h [1] which is about the same as your plane, same for the Japanese Shinkansen [2]. Technically, speeds exceeding 500 km/h on close-to-stock rail are possible, the French have done that as well [3].
