Oh dear.
I suspect there are few enough players in this market to single them out too.
I'm wondering if it makes sense to split the difference by allowing airlines to block the amount on the passenger's credit card upon reservation, but only charge them upon check in. This way, the risk of non-payments or problems processing the payment on the check in counter would be minimized.
But more importantly - will we be able to do that Superman movie trick where we just fly around the sun EXCEEDING the speed of light so we can go back in time?

Joking mainly. With this much time dilation it would be fascinating to just send out tons of probes in different directions at high speed and constant acceleration - this would massively extend their service life - and potentially also massively extend our knowledge of the universe as well. Of course relatively to the people on Earth it would take a long ass time.
> Rome once had a democracy sort of right?

Not really.

The Roman Republic had legislative assemblies and elected magistrates, but the deck was firmly stacked in favor of the aristocracy. Votes in the Centuriate assembly, which elected all senior magistrates, were heavily weighted by wealth. Originally the highest two classes, comprising those with at least 10,000 denarii in assets, controlled an outright majority of the votes. (1 denarius is on the order of 1 day's income for an unskilled laborer).

The weighting was somewhat reduced in the mid 3rd century, but Sulla's reforms around 80 BC reverted the change, and additionally stripped the more democratic plebeian and tribal assemblies of most of their powers.

The senate (ostensibly an advisory body, but by the middle republic actually a legislature) was never elected. During the early republic, senators were appointed by the consuls. Later, they were appointed either by the censors, or automatically upon election to a senior magistracy. In either case, appointment to the senate was for life.

I'm redirecting my career path from industrial maintenance management to software development.

I've done, among other things, over 10 years of code maintenance and functions extensions in a live industrial production environments.

My current preferred tool set: Python, PostgreSQL, Django, Git, Docker, Linux. Now I prefer boring tools which allow me to concentrate on the problem at hand.

I'm open to other tools as needed.

My most recent project is Polish law change monitoring service available at https://unkot.pl. The source code https://gitlab.com/stakent/unkot

In the past I've used go (golang), cython, neural networks with feedback loops running on CPUs, genetic programming.

I've designed and implemented event driven architecture with log based source of truth for the system which is distributed, eventually consistent, can work with unreliable network.

Yeah shorts are getting kinda annoying to me as a youtube consumer. Some of my favorite subscriptions have started uploading like 5 shorts in a row and that fills up my page of new content with trash.

I keep seeing obviously reposted popular tiktok videos. The same ones, over and over again but with different accounts. Same on YouTube shorts.
I do not think that the government needs to be the ONLY source of this public service. Cloudflare of course can still exist as a private company. The government would just provide a "free" public service to those that need it.

“Improper nouns”, where the meaning of a phrase is more than a sum of the meanings of its constituent words, are not just strictly technical terms. It’s in the way we think and communicate, a word or a grouping of words encountered repeatedly in a certain context acquires a meaning influenced by said context.

“Freedom of speech” might be a good example of one. It is a shortcut for a certain concept that is fairly expansive, and not without ambiguities of its own. Now it’s common to see it deconstructed into constituent words, and a sum of their meanings (selected by the communicator) used to give the phrase a new meaning that suits current communication goals the most.

Occasionally one party may use the resulting mismatch in meaning to blame the other for duplicity: how dare they say our country has free speech (1) whereas what it has isn’t even close to free speech (2)?

Semantics is fun!

> It takes the same time for an armored division to travel from coast to coast as it would for a legion to march across the Roman Empire, at least a week.

This sounds like a dramatic underestimate in the case of heavy infantry (a legion).

Elite infantry units similar to Scipio Africanus' legions went from Tarraco to Carthago at 26 miles per day forced march which is a pretty high rate of speed [1]

Using the excellent Orbis site from Stanford [2], it is possible to calculate this at accurate detail @ ~179 days marching 30KM a day, from Tarraco to Alexandria, which is across the empire.

Comparing that against an armored division, it would depend on which armored division since some are more road capable and limited mainly by fuel supplies. An M1A2 can go on roads at 45MPH and has a range of 265 miles.

I really think that a video of a girl dancing, her clothes changing every time she claps her hands, made for a platform that prizes sucking out teens's attention for the chance of showing them an ad and collecting data on them, will be written off in a few years.

Besides, everything is safe until it is not and research is increasingly pointing towards the toxicity of social media on the young mind.

Even doctors smoke a certain brand, remember?
Sharing service parts suggests they aren't exactly the same, ie it has changed as times have changed. Also sharing service parts doesn't preclude them adding a moisture sensor and shut off.
Came to say the exact same thing. Most in the English-speaking world have no idea cities like Tokyo exist. It’s still a global capital, still growing (for now), but it’s still very affordable for people of all economic classes. And it’s not for lack of foreign speculation; locals mostly aren’t buying up the $10M+ flats in the new Mori building, but there’s plenty of development to meet demand across the spectrum.
Nice limiting beliefs you have there.

If it was creepy I wouldn't date models.
Also that people believe things because those things are simple and appeal to their own sense of paranoia, aggression and laziness, not because those things are accurate or realistic.
> The book isn't wrong yet. It will be if by 2030 we don't see a decline in food and industrial production.

Could this be why our Western governments are so hell-bent on destroying our economies? “We can not let The Book be wrong! The Prophecy must be fulfilled, and it is our sacred duty to ensure that it will!”
You're right that CO2 is not very reactive. But the fact Earth has a lot of O2 says there's some process replenishing it as it's very reactive. The amounts of CO2 changing in proportion to the amount of O2 would point to something processing the CO2 into O2.

As long as our theoretical aliens are aware of photosynthesis, which can use a number of pigment chemicals, they would likely settle on photosynthesis. The longer they watch Earth they'll see seasonal variations in CO2/O2 levels.
Arguably worst advise ever. What you describing should be a hobby, but not business. Without demand excitement vanishes quickly, replaced by disappointment, anger and frustration.

The best business to start is the one solving a problem (not the created problem which is so typical for IT startups). With proper execution this business is doomed to succeed.

Wow.

If you read my comment again you will find that I did not communicate this as my argument on purpose. So please don't frame it as such. Discussing something without necessarily having to share that opinion is hopefully still possible.

Also: we are talking about Instagram, not about Pornhub — I guess the nature of the service would certainly play a role in that argument (e.g. think about messengers).

What I do think myself is that beyond a certain size platforms should have it harder, should be held to higher standards, should fulfill more requirements etc. Because naturally bigger platforms will have it easier than their smaller competitors and it is in our interest to balance this out. Whether APIs are part of this, I don't know. Haven't given it much thought.

The truth is that real estate is merely a reflection of wealth. Some of that wealth is earned by hard work that others are not willing to put in while other wealth is just inherited and some people work hard and smart and still stay relatively poor.

Therefore we shouldn‘t judge so easily based on what someone has and go back to asking how it came about.
Not being an American, and watching the events in America and American politics has helped me realize there is some things i have Absolutely no control over.. and if I have no input or control over it then there is no reason for me to get stressed about it.

Physics is one of those things. its too big and far away for me to stress about it. If its gonna kill me I cant stop it.. I might as well enjoy what I do have control over.
Plane tickets are often bought months ahead of time. Does it make sense to block an amount of credit for that long?

Which is basically each sport's yearly world championship, as far as I know.

Honestly, instead of trying to improve or tweak the Olympics, straight getting rid of them would help in basically all fronts: no more debt ridden hosting country, no crazy corruptions schemes flying all around, other events an keep their sheer sport focus, centered on the athletes and not where they register their passport.

We'd keep events like the Eurovision for the festive and "your nation is worse than mine" parts. It would all be fine.
Most of our growth was population growth assuming the country in question was able to overcome structural problems that keep developing countries poor. If every human couple has three children growth is infinite, if you count economic activity of the offspring as economic demand of the parent then suddenly human wants and needs are infinite.

Isn't it strange that we are massaging everything to fit the axioms which are starting to sound more and more like religious beliefs and anyone who is making inconvenient statements is called a heretic?

If you tell the longtermists about the population shrinking then their galaxy conquest plans no longer become the obvious conclusion of humanity but rather just a preferred vision of the future for a bunch of people who want to elevate themselves.
In Europe credit cards are less popular. Most people I know use debit cards with a special "virtual" debit card for Internet purchases. In this situation blocking a certain amount on your card is almost functionally equivalent to taking a payment in advance.

The customer has to transfer all the money to their "virtual" card account and the money is blocked.

The only time when blocking is better is when it comes to the refund, but that too can be botched by airlines by for example automatically completing the payment at a time of supposed check-in.

A much better way would be to pay an advance. Let's say 25%.
Why to speculate like this?

As a non-native English reader, why is this not written as:

The current sentence feels disjointed and doesn't '_flow_' like natural sentences normally do in English.
useful info! Thanks
> You can always require historical-looking facades if looks are a concern.

I assume you have actually seen the inside of old buildings with your own eyes.

In no way is the look & feel of the inside of an old building comparable to a modern one.

Yes, old buildings sure have downsides. But pretending nobody looses anything when you only keep historical (or even just historical looking) facades is eyewash.

I bet there are ways for the Portuguese Gvt to encourage renovation of all the dilapidated old style buildings instead of encouraging speculators to wait for them to collapse so they can build new and cheap and with loosing every bit of charm a building can have.
By moving from one OS to the other you really mean Windows/OSX/Linux, right? Because thanks to modern web(browsers) you can almost but forget using another one, regardless of someones checkbox design.
When I was a teenager we had to make up our own reality. There were distinct gangs. The metal listeners, the rap listeners, the disco people, and so on. We were forced to, for stimuli were scarce. One new record could be passed along dozens of people eager for the new. Now speak to any teenager, they are all the same. Bees of a single hive mind.
It was a while ago that this happened, so there's a possibility that some people on here are too young to remember this. It was a leaked exchange between Mark Zuckerberg and a friend during the very early days of Facebook - when it was only available to Harvard students:

MZ: Just ask.

MZ: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

MZ: They "trust me"

MZ: Dumb fucks.

Hi Danny

1. Attention was brought to us for the unfortunate phrasing of that sentence and it was edited in the post

2. I am curious what rules are violated by mentioning plans for an investment round?

3. While I am glad this discussion happened, it was not submitted or solicited by any Kagi team member. We published a blog post this morning and our users (I assume) took it from there, as these things tend to happen.

Finally the post you linked to in your second post was from a clearly excited user (not Kagi team member) on our public forum.
Yeah, scrolling photos of big butts, breasts and yachts plus a lot of ads it's really pushing forward society as a whole, is hard to believe the staggering similarity of when books became mainstream and old people worried the young would become dumber given they wouldn't have to memorize.
You're talking about companies other than Facebook, right? Because Facebook is 3.6x price/sales with double digit growth still.
That's relatively rarer in Europe compared to USA.
The argument I've heard in South Africa for why luxury builds are the only things being built is that they're the only things that are profitable. After time and maintenance, ideally the luxury aspect falls away and it becomes affordable for the masses.

Same idea as buying a car - most people won't buy brand new because of the cost.
> the young generation ... are the biggest indicator as to where things are heading.

They sure can be. But young people around me in the early 2000s were into rap-metal, buying ringtones, and using ICQ or IM. These obviously were not great indicators of what would happen in the near future.
Underwhelming article. Says nothing of substance, materially wrong (5x increase in electricity bill doesn’t mean you have to 5x your prices), with a little libertarian sparkled throughout.

They do because the price dropped.
> Lawyers are respected more than teachers, in many ways.

Wonder what those ways are - in my environment (and it's very business oriented, very far from teaching), teachers are respected way more than lawyers.

Yea, lawyers make more cash, but it's totally different story and has nothing to do with respect.

Oh boy. I just set up my company a few months back, unfortunately I never had to go into email too much, so I didn't set up DKIM/SPF/DMARC. Then I started receiving emails from my own domain, I panicked because spoooofingg (read with spooky voice) and set up all three. I was bashed for an entire week with reports from all major email services with DMARC reports.

Fortunately I still only have a couple clients so no one was the wiser.

UPDATE: It ended up in a simple scare, nothing was affected and I'm not in any list that I know of, in case you're wondering
https://farside.link/ is a decent overview of the genre.
First, hope the below doesn't sound mean, I'm just being direct. Direct without being a jerk, I hope. :P

In my super strong opinion, everything, everything that you write is incorrect, except for maybe very few exceptions.

I'm going to use a metaphor here. What you say is incorrect in the sense that if you are in Seattle Washington, and decide to drive to Portland, Oregon, but don't because you say that you have to drive From Seattle to Maine, then down to Florida, over to San Diego, then up to Portland. And it takes 30 days and $5,000 to do that loop. So you say it is too difficult and expensive and time-consuming to travel from Seattle to Portland, Oregon.

I mean, if someone doesn't know how to drive directly south from Seattle to Portland for 3 hours because they don't bother looking at a map, and insists that it takes 30 days and $5,000 in travel costs to go from Seattle to Portland, what do you want me to do about it? I can't help everyone that doesn't know how to figure shit out.

The reality is that one can buy fresh food and make it last, buy in larger quatities, spend less time cooking than shopping. I know this because I actually do this. This is not "theory."

I see people write what you just wrote all the time and I'm convinced that people like you are just repeating what you read other people wrote, and don't think it through or read on how to actually solve those non-existent issues that you just raised incorrectly. You and so many others are taking the long way from Seattle to Portland and think that is the way to do it, and you don't get how you can drive south for 3 hours instead of 30 days.

>The claim people just need to make better choices is a non-starter.

It is a total starter. I guess one has to have knowledge before one can make the correct choices, though. But if one knows, it is the simplist and easiest thing in the world, but it takes that dreaded action: learning something new and throwing away the old worldview, which is SUPER difficult, I admit.

>all else being equal would not choose to be.

Not true, completely not true.

>But all else is not equal.

Yes it is. In first world countries, we have everything. Everything.

>If you want people to make different choices, you need to address why they are making their current choices, regardless of what those factors may be.

I agree with this, but this is really a situation for psychiatrists and therapists. I have the time or therapy background or ability to talk to people 3 times a week for months at a time to change their behavior and thought patterns.. It takes a long time and a lot of effort for someone to change their own minds, and most will flat out refuse.

I'm 100% positive that if I create a house attached to a grocery store that only stocked healthy vegetables and healthy fruits and healthy dairy, and no unhealthy foods, and the nearest place that people could buy junk food is 5 miles away, I'm totally convinced that people would make the long trek to get their Doritos and Twinkies and donuts. 100% convinced.
