He was shot and there aren't any double blind studies that prove that police are capable of reliably distinguishing self inflicted wounds from non-self inflicted wounds.

I presume this is also to protect human settlements from Wolves and Bears? Probably a bad idea to leave a bunch of corpses near humans...

So in your oppinion the US, despite being not at war, should make as much munitions as a country that is very much at war?

You say "If you can't even satisfy such simple terms, it's your own fault." But you yourself fail to satisfy such simple terms as HN's Guidelines[1], which clearly state "Don't be snarky."

I've read "A Christmas Carol", not sure how it relates to what I wrote. Can you explain?

OK, I see, but it shows a different value for the absolute number of days, that's weird.

Is that a bug? I interpret it as from midnight 2016-04-04 to the first time which has the date 2019-01-31. That includes the full day of 2016-04-04 but nothing from 2019-01-31. This is contrasted with the opposite direction which is midnight 2019-01-31 going backwards, thus not including 2019-01-31 and all the way up till the first time which is 2016-04-04 non-inclusive.

Date time arithmetic is weird ;)

How can I know, no explanation was given.

For most of history most skilled workers worked from home or lived in the workplace: watchmakers, metal workers, shoemakers. Newton was working from home when he developed his version of calculus.

While it is not new to have a study or a workshop, commuting is a modern phenomenon.

You just have to stop using linked in unfortunately. My account got randomly locked with this id verification message, and even going through the id verification doesn't help. I wasted hours trying to get back in but its totally useless.

The only expensive part is the hardwarevfor the elastic servers. Kafka is cheap to run. We have an on prem elastic db pulling in tens of thousands of events per second. On prem servers aren't that expensive. It's really just 6 servers with 20tb each and another 40tb for backups. And it's not like you have to store everything forever... Compare that data flow to everyonevwatching youtube all the time. It's really nothing...

At the company I work for we send json to kafka and subsiquently to Elastic search with great effect. That's basically 'wide events'. The magical thing about hooking up a bunch of pipelines with kafka is that all of a sudden your observability/metrics system becomes an amazing API for extending systems with aditional automations. Want to do something when a router connects to a network? Just subscribe to this kafka topic here. It doesn't matter that the topic was origionally intended just to log some events. We even created an open source library for writing and running these,pipelines in jupyter. Here's a super simple example https://github.com/bitswan-space/BitSwan/blob/master/example...

People tend to think kafka is hard, but as you can see from the example, it can be extremely easy.

Surprisingly chatgpt is not accessible via screen reader, their captcha is purely image based.

Underfinancialization also sucks. In Czechia there are tons of empty or uninsulated buildings that their owners could put to good economic use if only they could borrow money.

I can recommend Ellen Ulman, The Bug. She's a treat.

I have to say this is very well written. So much long form stuff is just fluff, but this had some nice narative, a beginning a middle AND an end.

Renters too! I'm sure the tax would be pass through in any rental contract.

I would simply tax the sale of fossil fuels. Sure, there are other major sources of carbon in agriculture, but for every gram of carbon from fossile fuels oil, gas or coal is bought or mined. I would go with the simple thing, I don't think carbon emissions from agricultural tillage need be taxed.

Rewarding emissions reductions is a pretty weird perverse incentive. Those who emit the most await the greatest reward. Carbon credits are in general pretty stupid, a carbon tax is what is needed.

Sometimes I think we should have only an LVT and a carbon tax. Every year the government would tally up how much it spent and send out bills for land ownership and carbon emissions. There would be no deficits, the goverment would necessarilly collect as much as it spent (with the exception of non payment), and it would eliminate all need for any tax beurocracy and record keeping.

What inertia do you mean? Demand or supply? Sure, decomissioning anuclear plant takes decades but a coal plant can be shut down in about 48 hours I think and at that point produces no new emissions...

Their legal argumentation is extremely weak. That said, if they do end up having to pay $2500 per violation they'll probably go bankrupt...

This is no Hello world, this is more like a doctoral thesis I think...

This is false. If you're ever in Europe come visit an old castle, the kings of old slept on what would today be seen as child sized beds.

I started to prefer it after I foundout that with IPv6 every Docker container can have its own IP address and this can be used to solve the hairpin NAT problem.

https://www.mieleusa.com/e/refrigerators-and-freezers-102212... has few bells and whistles but is a superpremium brand. I bought some of their stuff used and while expensive it has very high quality materials...

It's always a bit surprising to me how little monitary value very old items can have.

I know several top managers who are in favor of mandatory RTO for those lower ranked than themselves.

As a Czech person I have never npticed language barriers reducing travel (or business), if anything they increase it by making it more exciting.

Given that %60 of a films production budget goes to marketing I'll say there will still be studios... They'll just have a higher margin.

The main problem with product onboarding tours is that statefull UIs are necessarilly challenging for the user. Using a modal editor like VIM requires training. Adding statefull elements such as an onboarding tour makes your product harder to use. Sure, it can add important information, but there are other ways of doing this. The best way to manage state in the user journey is to do so in a way that you can provide info to the customer success agents without exposing that state to the user. You can use off the shelf analytics for this. now the question is how best to teach your users to use your product. In my experience products are best taught via gifs showing snippets of example usage, engaging advertisements showing example usage, and blog posts that are well SEOd when the user inevitably asks google how to use your product. And well placed reddit threads where people ask how to use your product. For enterprise, the best way is to personally teach via videocall that one person whom everyone's gonna ask anyways...
