> to compete with major carriers worldwide.

I don't see a reason why countries with existing carriers would allow that, given the owner's stance about political meddling.


They would be as large as your average hyperloop capsule.

> The problem is, global warming doesn't affect daylight.

In my book, that would have been a "Fortunately," entry.


I don't get these kinds of posts. Zero how-to, zero share about the tradeoffs the author took.

It's just a random internet dude telling us how he thinks other people should feel about their work.


Ain’t it what the internet is for?

because there's no joy in managing a declining company, especially when you made it grow in the past, and probably get enough money from the deal that you don't need to care anymore.

So then we prefer the scenario where the employees are just forced to manage a declining company? Or we prefer it folding?

> Can/should Europe reinvent all this from scratch or can we just apologize, kiss and hug and move on?

I don’t see the US as willing to do the necessary stuff for that to happen honestly. Last threats on Greenland were this week, as were last threats on Spain.


If you want to stick it to Jeff, the best part is to give/lend/sell them once you've read them. Or even better, get them from the (public) library.

Jeff doesn't care what you do after you've already given him the money though

Yes, you prevent him from selling a copy to your friend, but he already has your money!


Jeff doesn’t care what you do period. They’re in another plane, it’s some poor schmucks now with only a few million fighting for table scraps of the billionaires who don’t care.

Cancel your prime is a good start.

> ... and others are more visible features like equatable and hashable types.

I love Elm, and I love the community, but I feel a little gaslit here.


say more! Is it that it has typeclasses but they're closed?

It is that even without an open typeclass system, these specific typeclasses have been a common request for a long while.

I have worked at a few elm places, there is always a dict-for-everything dependency or local implementation.


Haha we may have worked together. Equatable has been a theoretically huge, actually OK hole in my opinion because it _can_ lead to runtime crashes but never has in any code I've written (\_ -> () == \_ -> () is a runtime crash). So I'm glad to see something more robust than "just don't do that." And "hashable" as the real thing you need to implement Set/Dict is a good idea imo. I'm sympathetic to keeping "comparable" closed and even smaller than it is for the reasons in this discussion [0]. In my perfect world, String would not be comparable as-is because string comparison should be locale dependent. Right now string comparison just ends up using JS's < operator which compares as a list of code units. So I'd like to be able to have a Set of Strings or a Dict with String keys without having the footgun of being able to think that I've alphabetized a list when all I've done is annoy a user by putting Área after Zapato and not between Azul and Barcelona.

But I agree with you that the current solutions for Set/Dict all have one problem or another: You can use elm-sorter-experiment [1] but then you are writing a sort function and passing it around and maybe you don't want the overhead of that. You can switch to the Lamdera compiler and use containers [2] but then it's a different compiler and a you need to tweak your options slightly to compile an Elm project as an Elm project in it and it could get out of sync with the Elm compiler (extremely unlikely though). You can use any of the list/dict implementations that are really just lists with O(n) everything under the hood. So maybe this hashable type is going to make things better, idk.

> CO2 has been rising since, what 250 years

It has been rising exponentially.

> However real effects of global warming seems to be felt since, like 10 years old ?

Look up glacier timelapses. More vulnerable ecosystems have visibly reflected climate change for far longer than 10 years now.
