The CLHS[1] they mentioned has been available online for ages. What they're talking about is making a more modern site. Generating a PDF from the spec wouldn't get them any closer to that goal.

That would be student benefits[1] rather than basic income. At least here in Finland (and other Nordics) we already do that. Basic income is supposed to be given unconditionally to everyone.

India+China+Central Africa may be less affected than the rest of the world, but I doubt there are only 41M obese people there. The map shows that in China there are 8.2%/7.4% obese men/women (or maybe the other way around; I have no idea how to interpret the button). So that's 7.8% of 1.381 billion = ~108 million in China alone.

"$750 billion in treasury securities and other assets" according to the article.

You're thinking it the wrong way around. The default is that a person always owns the result of his work. Employees sign an agreement to give that result to their employer in exhange for a wage. If there is no agreement, the person who did the work will keep owning the results.

> then easily move everything around by folding it and cutting and pasting.

You could also use `org-cut-subtree` or `org-copy-subtree` for that. And of course `org-refile` (C-c C-w) is very useful, although you'll probably want to customize it to allow refiling to other places than just the first level headlines of the current file.

Is the word "medieval" commonly used to refer to some African time period? My understanding is that the term refers specifically to the Middle Ages, which is a time period in European history, so it wouldn't make any sense to talk about a "medieval capital" in Africa (especially far away from the Mediterranean). The British only annexed Benin in 1897, long after the Middle Ages.

I'm not sure exactly what the Ctrl-P does, but that sounds a lot like ido for Emacs.

Personally I like doing text-only work (such as programming) in a TTY with Emacs. I'd like to have a machine with no X at all, but unfortunately there aren't many good framebuffer-friendly graphical tools (fbi is good for viewing images, but doesn't support gifs; vlc is ok for playing videos, but the ncurses UI is too buggy; most modern websites are barely usable with links2, while netsurf is too mouse-oriented for my tastes).

In Finland we have a similiar project[0] under construction. The intention is to store spent nuclear fuel there from 2020-2120 and then seal the facility.

There's a map[0] on wikipedia with the GDP per capita for different regions in EU (data from 2007).

Looking at the MooseFS source files, I don't think they can. The license header of the files says:

Seems to not work with the /html/ version[0]. It just gives a box with "HASH(0x5dfa858)" (for all the examples).

Interestingly DuckDuckGo gives you a box with the Emacs command when you search for "C-x n" (although the quick reference they link to doesn't even include that command). Of course, if you want to know what a shortcut does in Emacs, you can just use "C-h C-h c <the shortcut>". Or if you want to know what a function does and what it's bound to, "C-h C-h f <funtion>".

Personally I just always start emacs with `emacsclient -c -a=`. If no emacs daemon is running, it starts a new one and connects to it.

You have a really strange way of deciding who won a war. Most people would consider those "vague political goals" the whole point of going to war, and the people killed undesirable casualties. But if USA really did go to war just for the sake of killing people, I guess they have indeed been pretty victorious. Much like Germans in WW2. I mean, they might have failed to accomplish whatever vague political goals Hitler had in mind, but they definitely killed a lot more people than they lost.

I would add that setting up some captures[1] helps a lot. That way you can easily add notes or tasks while working on other things.

A quote from the link:

> The treaty with Portugal comes after India accepted its two main conditions that the extradited person would not face either a death sentence or life imprisonment beyond 25 years.

You're the guy from the Lizard Squad thing last year, right? Did this case happen before other investigations you've been involved in? If not, was your background used as "evidence" that the bitcoins might have been illegally aqcuired?

Was Norway participating in those sanctions? I thought the oil sanctions were just by USA and EU.

I guess ignoring single linebreaks prevents people from wrapping lines manually (happens surprisingly often on some forums), resulting in an annoying reading experience.

I was born in -91, and the first time I had access to a computer that I could actually install things on (not school/library) was at the age of 15, and no internet access at home until about 2 years later. I live in Finland, but I imagine there are lots of Americans with similiar experiences. Nowadays it's also possible that the those people will have a "consumption only"-device rather than a "real" PC they can do things like programming with.

You could just read the case study right under that quote on the linked page (the one titled "Case Study Impact in action: Ran’s story").

He's American, right? Why would he demand that other nations do something before his own?

The project is building a 35 meter long model of a bridge designed by Da Vinci in 1502 using pykrete (ice mixed with 2 % cellulose fibers). It is to be finished by mid February. They have two webcams that show the construction site (currently not much to see there):

Also some photos are available at (including their prior projects from last year, and the year before): https://www.flickr.com/photos/structuralice

I'd say that knives can be either inheritable or usable, but not both. Like all tools they will be worn pretty quickly if used actively.

If by that reference to Python you mean you want significant whitespace, I think that would make it unnecessarily difficult to work with different scopes.

  fn something() {
      foobar();
      {
          bar();
          foo();
      }
      quux();
  }

That is much easier to understand, and easier for tools to work with (they can actually automatically indent your code without breaking it), than:

  def something():
      foobar()
          bar()
          foo()
      quux()

edit: And how would you even add a scope right after another block (like if)? That would require you to have a keyword anyway.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about blacklisting forbes.com links on HN.

While I agree with you for the most part, according to this[1] Musk does seem to have a mansion. It says the value is only $17 million though, so pretty far from Gates[2].

One should of course keep in mind that stories like that give a very biased view of the life of adopted children. The stories are invariably about adopted children wanting to find their "real" parents, because that's the only way to turn beign an adopted child into a story. You never hear about the ones that just live their life like anyone else, never giving much thought to who gave birth to them. I imagine the latter group is the majority.
