Technically, the Olympics are considered an open event - while you are supposed to compete under your country's flag (more specifically: under your country's NOC), there is a process in place for when this is not possible[1].

The problem with the Olympics is a different one - an organisation that creates a highly complex event with construction and travel is dependant on national governments to support it (even if there is no corruption involved) - and that will invariably lead to said countries doing it for the prestige. I guess the only way around that would be setting up permanent Olympic venues and giving them a status like the UN General Assembly building

The same in the GDR with flats. You couldn't get one, until you were married and best had a child. Without, single, you had to stay with your parents. You had to apply for a flat and it took up to several years until you got one - the one they gave you, no selection. If you had bad luck or your parents were not of sufficient socialist status, you had no central heating.

You can set the timer at the start, if you are on 240volt in summer it takes 7m35s total to reach a boil and passively cook 4 large soft eggs. In winter it's around 8 minutes.

before adding cold water for cooling, I also violently shake up the eggs in the flat bottomed kettle. You can use a fork to pierce them too, the idea is to crack the shells so a little cold water can seep in and make for easier peeling.
Uhm, those aren't affected. The airline would have the same duty to transport you as now under the same kind of contract, the only change proposed is to charge your credit card on the day you fly instead of the day you order. The rest of the contract remains unchanged.

> That's survivor bias and sheer production numbers of us bombers

To an extent yes, but the US certainly produced liquid cooled aircraft engines as well, like the Allison's and Packard Merlins powering many famous WWII aircraft. If they would have considered liquid cooled engines obviously superior, I'm sure they would have preferred those in post-WWII piston aircraft.

> neither the german nor the UK ones did (mostly, exceptions always exist).

The UK produced nearly 60000 Bristol Hercules radials, practically all used in multi engined aircraft (Beaufighter, Wellington, Stirling, Halifax being the major ones AFAIK). Sure, a much lower production numbers than the famous Merlin at 150000 engines, but far from insignificant.

Similarly, Germany produced over 60000 BMW 801 radials, mostly used in the FW190A fighters but some were also used in some Ju88 variants. In comparison the DB 600 engines powering mostly Bf 109 was about 60000 as well, and about 70000 Jumo 21X series used mostly in bombers.

So very broadly speaking, of total aircraft engine production, both UK and Germany produced about 1/3 radials and 2/3 liquid cooled.

Both are unlikely explanations given inverse GDP per capita and birth rate correlation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_and_fertility

More plausible explanation - many people don't like children and want to live for themselves but in poor/developing countries they have to 'invest' into children so they will take care of parents later. In countries with more or less stable economy people can rely on own investments or state pensions to not face extreme poverty after retirement.
You would still be required to provide a credit card, like when you book a rental car. The card will often be charged later, but the payment is "cleared" in advanced.

I wish more cities would ban or limit AirBnB.

Take Amsterdam for example.

A good decade ago, it was crowded in the tourism months (summer), but not too bad. Now it's crowded in the off season too, and during the summer months even more so, to the point where walking around is really hard.

The mayor seems to constantly want to get rid of cannabis, which won't solve the problem, the issue isn't the weed tourism... it's the unfettered tourism.

These things can be controlled, you can control how much tourists you have by limiting the amount of hotels you have in your city. But with AirBnB you lose all control on how many tourists.
They can't be contained, but time can be bought to develop a vaccine, and that time is measured in lives.

Ask HN: What do you use as the “internal admin UI”?
I've been building products for many years and, most of the time, my "admin UI" would be some SQL GUI (currently Adminer with a custom plugin).

That's what I'd use to resolve support cases, change some data for the customers when it's absent from the real UI, etc.

Usually, there's just no time to build internal admin apps when you're a solo founder or a small team.

However, I'm not really happy with this way of doing things. There's no "global search", no place to attach notes, and often it's hard to jump to related records (e.g. client -> client's transactions) quickly.

As I'd run the SQL GUI locally, it's always hard to share links to some records with my team, other than in the form of screenshots.

The list of problems goes on and on.

-----

Hence it prompted this question. What do you use? How do you debug data issues? How do you help customers? How do you share links (whatever form they take) to data with your team and collaborate?
> Python is pretty much innocent here.

Could not possibly disagree more. https://xkcd.com/1987/

The problem with dependencies is that for very bad reasons people don’t ship them.

Someone needs to package SD with a full copy of the Python runtime and every dependency. This should be the default method of distribution.

I don't think the wheels of any bureaucracy turn quickly.

There are two fallacies in bureaucracy:

1) With enough organisation, we can please all parties
2) Process can solve all of our problems

My experience (and I suspect others) is an enormous budget of people paid to have meetings, not making much headway, if any, but not being held accountable for outcomes. Imagine a Department having paid a team of people for 30 years to make this happen!
Damn, a pity to have your hard work messed up like that :/

Well admittedly my main reason for wanting to switch is not the kind-of-intrusive virus scanner.

I want to experiment with a lot of tech and 99% of it is only accessible in Linux. I want to try more things than just what I'm paid to do today so that kind of finalized the decision.

As for desktop Linux, I know it's a challenge. But I'll make it work. I feel it's a worth investment.

I think abortion is a particularly interesting case. Up until now, it was very difficult to show how bad tracking is - common arguments are "I have nothing to hide", "No one can show me a concrete example of something bad happening", or even "I like ads that are relevant to me".

But now that the publicly available data of women seeking abortions can be used to send them to jail, arguments 1 and 2 are easier to disprove. I'm not aware of any previous pro-privacy argument with such clear connection between cause and consequence.
I once flew from Switzerland to Thailand with Eurowings. Direct. I've had: US Dollars, Swiss Franks and Thai baat on me. As well as a digital credit card.

> Germany's population has been on decline for ~30 years due to demographics

The thing is – within that time frame it hasn't, actually. There have been some years with slight decreases, but those have been balanced by other years with increases, and compared to 1990 population is actually definitively slightly up (83.2 millions last year vs. 79.8 millions). Combined with a decreasing average household size (2.27 in 1991 vs 1.99 in 2019) and internal migration those things by themselves will probably generate enough pressure on the housing markets in and around the prospering parts of the country, even without any added financial shenanigans on top.

The thing is... it's not actually. If you made a law to force AirBnB to share data on who is making the listing with the government, you have your register of who to tax/etc.

You could also make laws to limit the number of properties per person, and if you're even smarter, you could use that in conjunction with a map of relationships between people, so you could limit the number of people putting listings in their family members names to get around any limitations.

AirBnB has the data to assist governments.
Russia Today – Surprisingly Honest Mikhail Gorbachev Obituary
I think this is quite subtly done in a way.

Given that we know Putin isn't Gorbachev's biggest fan, won't be attending his funeral and, in fact, seems to hold him responsible for USSR/Russia's loss of position as a world super power, it's interesting to see RT [working within the editorial constraints they must be under] producing quite a broadly favourable, albeit 'warts and all' biography of Gorbachev.

I also wonder if there's a subliminal message here, or am I 'reading 'between the lines' a bit too much?

There does seem to be quite a lot of emphasis on Gorbachev as a man of the people, contrasts with previous [and unstated 'current'?] dictatorial leadership. And the choice of accompanying photographs seem to also be contrasting Gorbachev, not only with what went before, but subliminally with what has come after; contemporary artwork depicting the leader in various non-official posters, rock concerts, mention of open and free debates on TV, smiling Gorbachev mingling with the people [including in Kiev!].

There's even a lengthy section, praising Gorbachev as a peacemaker, which pointedly mentions the withdrawal from Afghanistan, an "unwinnable war" where "...fifteen thousand Soviet soldiers died, hundreds of thousands more were wounded or psychologically traumatised"....Again, is this a subtle comment on current events? Another lengthy section emphasises how the Soviet Union was not one monolithic nation, but comprised of dozens of distinct nationalities and ethnic groups.

Give it a read. If you can overcome your revulsion at RT's usual party-line towing output. I really didn't expect to find such a long, reasonably unbiased and almost nostalgic for pre-Putin times obituary on Russia Today.
It's just taking "Right to data portability"[1] a step further. We already have the ability to get data out of a service, but it's generally a slow and cumbersome process (e.g. giant .zip file that takes a day to create). So the next logical step would to require this process to be as seamless as possible, meaning real time import/export of selected bits of information, which could be accomplished by providing an API.

Basically, if we ever want to get the Internet back into the users hand, we need to decouple the "service" and the "storage" parts. Companies shouldn't be allowed to hold user data hostage.

These are personnel records - people who are working at least (16-64 years) so not the total population. Will be similar though. Depends on demographics.

Additionally, one can assume that there's more younger people working in a company than older and make a little bit more accurate guess.
From a quick glance at someone’s unboxing video, they’re shipping these components in their original, unopened packaging for the DIY edition. I therefore reaffirm pure, because what they’re doing is part of standard retail markup and equivalent to what’s other retailers provide.
I suspect we have different feelings about the individuals involved, but I have the same takeaway from studying the period. One of the fundamental concerns of civilisation is the management of warlords. You can wish that highly ambitious, capable people don’t arise and choose to accumulate power, but that isn’t going to stop them. You need a system that puts them to productive, non-violent uses and this to me is a strong argument for capitalism. It gives would-be warlords a way to service their ambitions that can generally be a benefit to society.
In most countries dodging taxes is a crime, not a civil fine, which shifts the privacy aspect a bit, though I agree it's a bit over the top.

"Stablecoins are not understood by most people – they still think that all crypto is volatile"

We have literally seen a stable coin become unstable in the past six months. Sure, they saved it this time, but there still isn't any regulation to make the space safe, so there is nothing stopping one of the titanically huge institutional market players to come back and stomp on crypto some more as soon as they see an opportunity.
Yeah, tie the serfs to their land. I thought that went away with the medieval times?
In addition to the boring “99% of people are uniquely identified by where they spend the most time at 2am and 2pm,” the linked EFF dive [1] says that they let federal agencies look up each device’s advertiser ID and other device info that makes it easy to look up a specific phone they have or have had physical access to. And if they still have no clue, they can use the cellular IP address to get the cell companies to identify the person paying the bills.

(Anyway, you have an address the phone lives at. Finding out who lives at an address is some of the basics of investigating, starting with a query of DMV databases, followed by credit reporting databases.)

> The original article talks about moral (not even legal) objections to learning from copyrighted data.

but I am replying to

"My brain has been trained on even more copyrighted material. Every book I read, every tv show I watch, the toys I played with as a child. It's hard to imagine that I could come up with anything that is not inspired by copyrighted work"

Difference being your brain has not been trained by someone (for profit), you have trained it using YEARS OF YOUR LIFE TO ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE

which is morally acceptable (does not imply that the use you do of it is legally acceptable), given that you paid a very high price, sacrificing your own time for the objective.

And that your knowledge is only yours, you can't transfer it to anyone, it doesn't even show up in your DNA.
