Around Barcelona there are also many missing stations.

This would have to be adjusted to the fact that most people is not usually in a position to easily kill this many people, while pilots are in a mostly daily basis.

It's () instead of [] because it's a regular function call. It's related to the scalability thing that Odersky also mentions (as much functionality in libraries as possible, rather than in the language).

SEEKING WORK: Remote or Barcelona, Spain

Backend Scala development: Akka, Play, Spray, and other libraries and frameworks. Experience with event sourcing and CQRS architectures.

Also some experience with Scala.JS and React.js in the frontend

Simple Scala.js JS "binaries" are quite big (from ~170kb before compression) because they add the part of the Scala standard library that they need.

From there, though, output size does not increase fast.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or Barcelona, Spain. I can also travel around Europe.

Hi! I'm an experienced Scala developer. Usually I'm focused on backend systems but I can also be productive in other areas of software development.

Looking forward to hearing of you!

It's not as concise, but you could do

  List((1,2),(3,4)) map (plus _).tupled

The IE6 share is going to be higher when normalized for people with Internet access, so the comparison is going to hold by a wider margin.

There was a monetary expansion during the tulip bubble (basically New World's gold + laws that made convenient routing that gold to the Netherlands).

From the Chinese goverment point of view this is a small step (everything they do is in small steps) towards converting renminbi in a global reserve currency.

Their deep reason for that is turning Shanghai in the world's leading financial center.

I'm glad you like it.

The image has been deleted. If I assume correctly and you have climbed the McKinley, you can do a climbed log (I have to change the wording to make it more clear).

Right now the map width depends on your resolution (and that is something to improve).

Meanwhile you have a "See in Google Maps" link, which perhaps should be more outstanding.

On your first point, do you mean it would be better to make a content front page rather than a "sales" one?

You make good points, I'll certainly keep them in mind (and in the todo list).

Thanks for your encouragement!

1. For the moment it's about peaks and hikes leading to a summit. Perhaps I should remark that a bit better.

2. I'm working on this one in my local area, trying to reach enough peak density in it to be of bigger utility.

3. You're right in the importance of a community. It's something I have in mind and I will start working on it soon.

Thanks for your feedback.

As far as I see it, hikr.org is more about hiking reports, and hikify.com is more about a peaks and routes database. There are also many interesting ideas that I have not had time to implement yet :)

Thanks for the copy advise. As English is not my native language, copywriting is not my greatest virtue.

It's true the first peaks I have introduced are very difficult ones, but the site is also appropiate for average peaks.

Perhaps I should stress it better.

Browsing with Google Maps could be indeed interesting as well, I'll try to implement it later.

Thanks for your feedback.

The search functionality is not there yet, sorry. It is planned for the near future.

You're right that for most areas there are no hikes yet. Feel free to add your favourite peak (no need for it to be a very high mountain).

Hikify is a hiking and mountaineering database, in a wiki-style, where anyone (registered) can add or edit a peak, a range, a route, or a division (country, state, region, etc).

There are few peaks introduced yet, but the number is (slowly) growing.

Please feel free to add your favourite local peak if it's not there yet (it won't probably be).

Any feedback will be welcome.

All that was not funded with money that appeared out of nothing. It was paid with money taken from people, and which would have been spent in even more productive things from their owner's judgement.

I think your calculation is not correct.

Your calculation is (300000 km/s)/(12761 km) = (23.5 (1/s))

Note the result is s^-1, not ms.

1/23.5 is 0.0425s, or 42.5ms, so that latency is not possible.

And this is indeed a good thing.

Capital that was malinvested during the boom period has to be accumulated again to return to previous productivity levels. The method to accumulate capital is saving.

That makes it different as law is concercened, but one is as legit as the other.

Everything can be overpaid. It seems like he is denying that.

I think what he really means to say is to don't negotiate too much where you can have a great profit. In fewer words, not to be penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Will some integration be done for those of us that search on the Chrome navigation bar instead of opening google.com in the first place?

> For example, what force is required to copy a movie? The force is all on the side of lawyers and policemen arresting people to compel them to treat a very, very long number as property.

Strawman. Libertarianism does not defend the idea of IP.

> it would be interesting to see what the return is on the average tax rate

You won't see it. It's not possible to know how receivers of government action value it without selling them for a price (ie, not being government action).

I guess you meant to say that they have low time preference.

What defines government is not hierarchy: it's coercion.

That is a big problem with communism, but there's one even greater: the calculation problem.

Without property, there is no trade. Without trade, there are no prices. Without prices, it is impossible to know how to efficiently allocate resources.

Explain why.
