I am not so sure. The recent history of the elites in London, and the rampant corruption and incompetence in the Metropolitan police is, surely, wearing down the English people's trust?

>That's generally what a "market share" number measures: the share of sales during a period of times.

We don't measure Browser Market Share as number of downloads during a period of times. Nor do we measure OS market share as number of license sold during a quarter.

The reason why Market Share, or share of sales during a period of times were used for commodity, repeatable sales. Because knowing you have 50% of Ketchup sales meaning you own 50% of the Ketchup market.

And when you talk to average people, no one would think Market Share of Browser, OS, Photoshop, as Sales over period of time. The same goes with Apple and Android, when you talk about market share, people will think usage. Not shipment.

Unfortunately even on HN the two is 99% mixed up. As a matter of fact this is the first time someone mention this difference that even gets enough attentions to be the top voted comment.
A technically correct, but insignificant headline which appears dangerous at first glance; yeah that seems par for the course of modern journalism.

That is a spectacular bad faith reading of what was actually said. They just tried to explain why birth rated dropped, with no judgements being made one way or the other. They absolutely did not claim that "women’s purpose is to keep them high".

They even clarified that in a follow-up: "I think you misinterpreted my words: it's fantastic that humans (both men and women) have more options, if they choose to have less kids that's noone's business but their own."
no, the open source apply on code not binaries, it means right to demand source code if you "purchase" binaries, means companies can still restrict or sell software binaries... in this case the model can be considered a binary.
For disk space, you think they could just report sufficiently rounded numbers (eg increments of 256MB free).
There exists FOSS that could do this too (start with "osmocombb").

But the real problem here isn't technical, it's a business/legal issue: the carriers and their regulators are trying to minimize (or at least, reduce) the ability for bad actors to operate large numbers of "cell phones" at minimal cost/complexity.

So everything that could be done (technically) to make this work is, in practice, prevented by those business/legal considerations.
Any asset Off Chain must be validated Off Chain thereby adding external costs, which from my napkin math suggest the total costs would exceed traditional alternatives.

And that's without even addressing actually checking for encumberance of the asset, which then makes the whole thing no different than traditional contracts except for much higher costs, an inability to readily modify without significant expense (if at all), and more.

Without checking for encumberance Off chain the entire value proposition of an SC is a joke, as what the code says doesn't matter when a preexisting encumberance applies. (Ed: This applies to on chain assets as well)

And if you're going to say it's not for off chain assets then all your saying is that one essentially can only use existing crypto to secure a crypto loan, which undermine the point of the loan ever being obtained.

I don't think there was any conventional wisdom and on how limb regeneration occurs without increasing protein synthesis. Personally, I think the person who said that (Barna) is wrong/misinformed (even for a harvard professor!). They specifically meant protein synthesis is lower during stress response (of which limb regeneration is just one highly specialized variant), but we already know that's not true- in fact, whole extra stress-related proteins start being expressed which carry out special repair pathways. But maybe... if you count the overall protein synthesis amount, it seems like the cell would also shut down some non-essential functionality temporarily.

As for focusing on mRNA- biologists study where the light is, not where it isn't, and mRNA is incredibly easy to study compared to protein synthesis. It's much easier to just convert that mRNA back to DNA and sequence it and get loads of identity and abundance information.
Gotcha. Sounds like a painful lesson. Thank you.
So technically both of these statements are right.

true (when we all got fountain pens, the mayhem caused by having to carry bottles of ink had to be seen to be believed) but the "public" ink wells were susceptible to the previous class putting things in them - pencil shavings were a favourite.

ooh, this all seems like another world - i haven't thought about it in years!
Do the thought experiment where you grow up riding a recumbent and you "try" a regular road bike and crash. Your head is higher and likely the first thing to hit an obstacle - concussion. A pretzeled front wheel or flat tyre or collision can catapult you onto the road - concussion plus broken collarbone/arm plus who knows what else. Those aren't injuries you'll get as easily on a recumbent. Instead (as you found) your legs, out in front, take the hit. That can help - unclipping and getting feet out to stabilize (a front flat) or brace for an impact isn't something you can do on an upright. On an upright you use your head and your arms to break the fall/impact.

I don't think either is inherently safer, it's just the diamond frame is the qwerty of push bikes because the UCI said so 100 years ago.

I've probably ridden dozens of recumbents. Some have an excellent turning circle but they tend not to be as fun bombing down a hill. Some (LWB with USS) can't u-turn on a US 2 lane road but would be the ideal bike to collide with something (wheel->fork->frame->feet taking the impact.)

I've also let dozens of people try my bike and no disrespect but "experienced cyclists" are the ones that scare me. Strong, fast, confident, they are definitely the run-before-you-walk folks. Recumbents, tricycles, bmxes etc. all handle differently, especially at speed. They are all just as easy to get up to speed but most people won't try that first.

I ride both and don't pretend the extra visibility of the upright makes me any safer. You have to ride like you are invisible because to cars you just are.
I agree with all of this. Though I do believe Apple would put up a fight—if it comes down to it they’d follow the law and keep selling phones.

We have examples of this from previous attempts to weaken encryption. The FBI’s San Bernardino case being the most memorable one for me.
Glass dip pens are easier to clean than fountain pens, especially for shimmering inks.

The pens themselves also allow for different/more playful artistic expressions than fountain pens, due to very disparate materials. It may not be for everyone, but some anime-themed glass dip pens are a hit in certain groups near Japan.

Some examples from someone I know, showing the glassy characters:

Sounds like they had some bad loans on the books, smaller banks in rural communities often struggle to adequately assess loan risk because talent is hard to find.
Rust is a brilliant lesson in using traditional threading safely. It uses & for thread-shared types and constrains &mut to a single thread, which naturally causes people to keep single-threaded data on an object only accessible from a single thread, and make multithreaded data either immutable, mutex-protected, or atomic.

Alternatively, message-passing isn't traditional threading, but Erlang/Go-style languages are another way to approach concurrency or parallelism.

I tend to agree because in my experience, the times when I have felt the best, largely had no explanation that stood out from times when I didn't feel so good.

It's not like I could point to some new diet that hits all the right nutrients so I was waking up every day feeling great. It's just for some reason, I'd go through a period of time sometimes lasting a few days, where I feel great mentally and physically.

So yes I generally agree that all we can do is try to practice gratitude and ride out the mediocre times.

>When people are talking about an arms race, they're probably talking about the true SUVs, which are built on truck frames - the Escalades, Suburbans, etc. They're gargantuan compared to a RAV4/CR-V. An Escalade gets 14 mpg city, the RAV4 gets 27 mpg in the city, the hybrid version, 41 mpg.

The sales data doesn't really show such an arms race is taking place. Eyeballing this chart, SUV sales actually shrank, presumably being cannibalized by crossovers. Pickup sales inched higher but they're still not back to early 2000s levels.

A version of this question is asked in the article, but I'll ask it again anyway:

As a thought experiment suppose Britain lacked the necessary precursors to create an industrial revolution. How confident are you that an industrial revolution would not have occurred elsewhere within the last three hundred years?
> Profit as the excess retained by or on behalf of capital owners

> capital owners

There it is, the "not when we do it" qualification. Just as I suspected, very predictable. Profit is when you're bringing in more money than you're spending. Whether you are labor or a "capital owner", profit is profit. When an animal gets more calories from their food than they spent to get it, even that is profit.

Here's wiktionary's definitions:

> (accounting, economics) Total income or cash flow minus expenditures. The money or other benefit a non-governmental organization or individual receives in exchange for products and services sold at an advertised price.

There's no "capital owners" qualification in this or any other common definition: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/profit https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/profit

"Roads are for cars, not for bikes or people"

You realize how stupid you sound, right?
You've gut the nail on the head: dig was designed with the needs of the 90s in mind, where terseness was a virtue (if your ram can be usefully conveyed in kilobytes, you need terse tools).

Due to backwards compatibility, the output won't be changed. Due to backwards compatibility, stuff is the tool that's installed by default.

Both can't be changed (it would break too many assumptions many scripts and programs have).

However, there are multiple dig alternatives. You just have to install them.
Ah I think you are correct.
> all your saying is that one essentially can only use existing crypto to secure a crypto loan, which undermine the point of the loan ever being obtained

Pretty sure my loans are perfectly not undermined.
I know what you mean, yet another tragedy of the commons.

In the UK at least they are less common, I think it's partly a cultural thing, but I suspect road size and layout is also a significant factor, which negatively affects the practicality of actually driving and parking a big SUV over here. I'm pretty sure that's why they will always remain uncommon, and haven't kicked off a chain reaction like in the US.

I think that's the only way you can prevent this kind of arms race in a society, by designing aspects into the system that reduce socially undesirable properties by making those same properties less desirable to the individual, intrinsically - i.e I don't want an SUV, because it's going to be so damn annoying to drive and park in so many places (note how that affects all individuals regardless of wealth). The same works with speed, using intrinsic speed limitations due to road size and layout instead of extrinsic punishment which doesn't effectively prevent injury or death. If the appropriate speed is 30mph, don't build a 6 lane style highway and be surprised when people find it hard to stay under 80. I think so many of the societal issues caused by cars can be all but eliminated through road design.
Why would you even want a no-GIL Python? Java and C showed how much more effort it takes to maintain slower thread safe code for no real benefit. Parallelize at the fork level or at the isolated numeric library level.
Actually, yeah. I'm assuming the warrant was granted to police and that code enforcement don't get to do their own no-knock-warrants. That helps a little but not much.
Oh, they know, but they don't care. Their kids are in the SUV and they're fine. If your kids are outside the SUV and get run over, that's not their problem.
Many many years with the same party in power. Whereas New Labour, at the peak of their electoral dominance, couldn't even pass a bill to get an ID card the rest of Europe has had for centuries.

Yeah I’ve slowly built out some smart home kit, but literally every single piece is a “nice to have” for exactly this reason.

My door lock is wirelessly controllable via zwave.

It also has a keypad so you can just enter a code instead.

It also has a keyhole. For my key. That is with me.

Similarly… I have some controllable light switches. If anything fails… they are just normal light switches and I can still turn my lights on.

I’ve spent too long in IT to have any faith whatsoever in any of this stuff.

At least in my experience, people asserting that something lots of people have trouble understanding is "not hard" are doing so as a flex at least as often as they are trying to be helpful, so I'm surprised that a lot of people don't make the same hypothesis you do. When someone does so while also touting their status among their peers due to their knowledge and talking about how anyone could do it by just putting in the work, it's not surprising that people might interpret that as implying that people who don't have the same knowledge are either too lazy to put in the effort or not capable of it, regardless of whether that was the intended message. If the goal is to try to help people, it's more effective to communicate in a way that conveys understanding and not judgment; if someone doesn't care to improve their methodology of helping people, that's fine, but it does raise more doubts about whether they're being honest about their intentions.
Sure, and then when people need to get places without cars, we just put the bikes and the people on the same road and call it a day. Brilliant!
