The amount of screening varies a lot by airport and is wildly inconsistent.

I fly out of London Gatwick and Oslo Airport a lot, and have been seething at security staff there who keeps insisting on extra screening for my now 6 year old son. Last time he was crying and screaming his head off because he didn't understand why the lady insisted on patting him down.

A few years ago, one of the screeners looked almost panicked when he noticed that my sons shoes did not have solid heels (they were the kind that light up when you walk) - you could see him looking around frantically for someone before one of the other screeners noticed and explained to him what it was.

(on the other hand, I've repeatedly by accident taken bottles of liquids through in my carry on after failing to realise his mom has "helpfully" put in water or juice for him to have on the way to the airport, and they've not noticed even once - the liquid "ban" is a total joke)

Other places they'll wave you through without paying attention at all.

Well, both Perlmutter and Davis say to avoid all kinds of grains at all costs and Hyman says to avoid all kinds of dairy products (butter, yoghurt, milk) with a possible exception of white cheese and they are all based on science. So I propose based on science. My claims about the restaurants and beverages are based on economic/profitability, restaurants and supermarkets offer decent priced and good tasting meal at the expense of health. If I'm able to get cheap and good tasting chicken at a fried chicken restaurant, I do it at the expense of health, need no science to see that.

This is tiresome. It's no different than going to sleep. Or indeed, one moment of consciousness to the next. You've no way to tell if your consciousness is being paused, disassembled, and reassembled every second.

I know this won't persuade anyone that's already decided. This issue won't get "settled" until we actually understand the mechanics of consciousness. AFAIK, no one has any real good descriptions of what's going on. Hell, some are still supporting dualist views.

I disagree. Airports are already a bottleneck that will only get worse over time. There has only been one major airport built in the US in the last 30 years. It's nearly impossible to expand many airports (both gates and runways) for various reasons. There are only so many slots available.

I honestly don't think the US could handle a doubling of flyers, we will have outgrown our current infrastructure yet it's almost impossible to expand it. Like it or not, the price of airline tickets is probably going in one direction for the foreseeable future.

That's why it's hard to make a country. You have to allocate resources to education, defense, health, public goods maintenance, etc. And inevitably some people will think that some expenses are not necessary.
My experience is that the US has awful public transit, with the arguable exception of NYC, purely because of its subway.

Here's the stats for Berlin vs Washington, as you wanted to make the comparison.

Berlin subway (U-Bahn) has 10 lines, 94km (route length).
Berlin trams have 22 lines, 190km.

Washington Metro has 6 lines, 118km.
No trams (under construction?).

I'm excluding the S-Bahn, as Washington doesn't have anything comparable.

Berlin's subway alone carries about 500 million passengers a year, versus 200 million on the Washington metro.

The difference in this case is quite easily explained by density of population - Washington is much smaller than Berlin, with 700k vs 3.5 million. However, this doesn't explain why other US cities have such poor public transit.

If you look at the numbers transported by American metro (subway) systems, there are 18 subway systems in Europe that carry more passengers than Chicago, the USA's second busiest.

The big play isn't about ownership. It's about liability.

If you own the tractor and something bad happens, it's product liability. Our intuitions of responsibility go back to the Code of Hammurabi.

If a builder build a house for some one, and does not construct it properly, and the house which he built fall in and kill its owner, then that builder shall be put to death.

If you license the tractor, well that's not quite so intuitive and there's lots of room to argue over the terms of the license rather than the arguing over legal precedent.
This was my first thought as well. Why is it that people have no issue with your laptop vendor "claiming ownership" of your laptop, but are so alarmed when the same principle is applied to a larger machine?

Like my family.

Also, small farmers buy a lot of tractors second, third, fourth-hand. Many are still running 50 years later. This is as much an attempt to kill the secondary market and the right to resell.

Without being able to buy and fix up used farm parts/equipment, many (including my family) would be fiscally unable to farm - full stop.
I guess what it often comes down to for me is that I don't really need a video rental store (online/shipping or brick and mortar) too often. For the one or two movies I consider "must see" each year, I go to the theater. For the ones that I still definitely want to check out later, there are on-demand streaming rentals that allow me to decide what to watch and have it there immediately.

Then as films get farther and farther from their release windows, they turn up on HBO or Netflix streaming, etc. It's just a smaller niche for me between wanting to see it at release and not caring when I get around to watching it.

Since Netflix added streaming it's essentially taken the place of basic cable for me (rather than replacing Blockbuster). With basic cable you can't always count on something being on at a given time but you can usually skim through the options and find something enjoyable. That's how I am with Netflix. The only difference is that Netflix costs $10/mo whereas basic cable costs $50+.

I like the fact that a company is managing to compete with cable networks without actually being a (traditional) cable network. Their shows may not always beat the best of HBO but they sure as hell beat USA, TBS, and the long list of "random shows and movies" cable channels.
It kind of makes sense: In high inflation the savers subsidize the borrowers. Who tries to save is screwed and who borrows gets an advantage. The workers are usually net savers and the businesses & the investors are borrowers.

I'm not a lawyer, and I have a fairly pedestrian grasp of the DMCA.

The Postmates API is certainly an option for businesses.

Often, however, it's quite expensive. Our customers save a significant amount of money by executing deliveries first-party or by delegating to a partner organization.

Additionally, we strive to give businesses complete control of their branding and of the recipient experience even while delegating tasks to another organization. For example, we offer a quite customizable recipient tracking page and SMS and voice proxying to hide customer and driver phone numbers. There are more details about these features on the features page (https://onfleet.com/features) and sprinkled through our API docs but feel free to reach out if you have any questions: http://docs.onfleet.com/

The tooling provided by Google is extremely frustrating to use -- as a developer on a large content site where we are taking this seriously. I can't believe that they will simply apply your "pagespeed insights" score to your search ranking, they must have much more nuanced scoring mechanisms.

For example, their crawler seems to not understand picture elements at all, and they're penalizing us (6 points) for offering retina options at all (saying that we need to resize the images).

> Floating currency only matters when you buy stuff from someone else who deals in a different currency

The idea that the currency floats can also mean that the buying power consistently decreases. As the purchasing power decreases if you're in cash you lose wealth, even though on paper you're maybe even growing the number a bit.

If you own productive assets this is OK because you can increase the price of your outputs faster than your inputs. Meaning you can give people raises (but more slowly than the currency depreciation) and you'll still make money.

If you're an employee instead of an employer, though, you're paying the higher prices before you get the raise to be able to afford them.

In this way it's possible for the central bank to perform an effective (though non-obvious) redistribution of wealth.
I'm in violent agreement with you here -- the notion of a smart home platform, for example, that allows me to customize it via an API, or, if I choose, by tinkering with its basic software, sounds awesome to me.

But I'm a programmer, and a tinkerer.

In order for this to be a viable mainstream reality, some enterprising company will need to establish a platform or system of consumer-grade components that bridges the gap between "general population computer literacy" and "ability to tweak one's electronic things".

In reality, that may be (for now) an unbridgeable gap. Maybe the only route to digital freedom is deeper digital literacy on the part of the average consumer.

But one thing is for sure -- as long as laws like the DMCA are in place, the deck is stacked against evolution towards DIY utopia.
I don't think people should accept it, but I'm not hugely convinced that it should be enforced by the government.

Assume that John Deere has good analytics about the things that impact the TCO of these super tractors. Assume that some sensors are very effective at lowering that TCO. Assume that John Deere puts interlocks into the vehicle and prices it competitively based on the calculated assumption that those interlocks will lower their warranty costs.

Why should I have to pay extra so that you can have the freedom to hack your tractor?
People have been doing this years with lawn mowers, both push and riding, for as long as I can remember. The complexity of work require to skirt the system increases but the reasons never really change.

If the system is so unreliable there are many other farm tractor manufacturers who can step in and likely are already exploiting the issues John Deere has.

If anything, perhaps lemon laws could be applied to farm machinery and written to be as X number of days across a calendar year. the nice thing about farming today is your likely to have online resources, places where word of this problem can travel fast enough to make a manufacture take notice

You can replace the buffer stop with an incline too steep to climb with the available traction at which point their best bet is derailment by going too fast around a turn. But again, with properly banked curves the trains simply can’t go fast enough for that to happen.

Why doesn't the market handle this?

If John Deere is only willing to sell lifetime licenses to operate their vehicles, thus putting the farmer at risk in ways like you described, why do farmers still buy these "licenses"?

Naively, they must represent some advantage (despite their shortcomings), otherwise John Deere wouldn't be able to sell these things.

Yields are pretty high. Though there are many products. So you won't necessarily have high yielding corn, but you will overall have more food & materials.

The fruits tend to be more of a mixed bag that is best distributed & consumed locally.

> What would doing that for all food do to the price of food?

Note that conventional petrol agriculture is heavily subsidized. Removing the subsidy will increase the price of food. It will favor small scale, high nutrition, gardening/farming. It will reduce waste as well.
If you permit calling C libraries from "paranoid C", that would give a very confusing debugging experience, where the semantics of identical code was different depending on which file that code happened to reside in.

If you don't... maybe. But do you realistically think "paranoid C" would ever get its library ecosystem up to a level where it matched e.g. OCaml? Do you think embedded vendors would be more likely to support it (the other big use case for C)? If you're going to be switching libraries anyway, OCaml is a much nicer language to work in.
Dutch's largest Magento hosting company Byte released a online testing tool: shoplift.byte.nl

Do you still trust Magento stores on the Internet? I don't.
It's so odd that gopher sounds like a fresh solution to this over-proliferation of design. I wonder if there's potential for a modern version.

I guess the problem is our attention economy. As a designer your job is to hold attention, and this drives design trends so far from competitors that usability suffers.

Although we do see that people love the uniformity of the big social networks. I find Twitter's clean timeline much more helpful than visiting individual websites.

I wonder if we'll continue to see a trend of the web separated into app-level experiences & information silos. I'm thinking there's a big void in the market for something like squarespace meets tumblr.
Iowan here. There are almost no family farms left at all. My neighbor would desperately like to be a farmer. But the scrubby 40-acre field across from his house just sold for $400,000. He'd get maybe 120 bushels of corn off of it. Current price per bushel: $3.80. So $456 income per acre == $18,240 per year. That's half the mortgate payments. Not to mention the cost of working the field. So a lost cause.

The 13 farmers that lived and worked on my road when I was a kid are ALL gone. City folks rent those houses; corporations farm those fields.

I did the ops-side of a large Magento site. It was a fucking nightmare... and I handled .NET and Java once too.

We had 3 cache servers with 128GB of ram EACH just to cache the complete shit out of Magento pages. Each user had their own keyspace in the cache. _that's_ how bad Magento is.

When cache would go down because of a network partition or something, Magento would fallback to rendering and our application web servers would melt.

Sex has been one of the major driving forces behind every decision I've made since I turned 13 or so. How I dress, how I talk, why I buy the things I buy and 50% of why I wake up at 5 am to go to the gym, why I go out to obnoxious bars and clubs... how is that not a 'need'? In the hunter-gatherer sense I guess it's not since I won't die if I don't have it but the want to have it as much as possible controls a huge percent of my daily actions. So maybe an 'addiction' then? Fine but now we're splitting hairs.

I would ague that marriage is not a need. It's an artificial construct that we impose on ourselves in a time when we don't need to do it. Women don't need you to survive, they can be their own providers now.

And why do you need to be betrothed to one woman for all eternity? Nature would love for you to spread your seed amongst many more women - larger bio-diversity.

But nobody is stopping you if traditional marriage is what you want to do, of course, more power to you.

I evaluated Arango for a project a couple of years ago. In the end we had to drop it, due to

2) Extremely slow startup time -- it was basically just reading the log of statements and loading things in memory

If those two are fixed now, Arango might be worth a serious look.
