No. The number also includes money spent by individual Americans, and it is per year, not over the life of (that would be incredibly low, at less than half a dollar a day)

Government spending is about a third of that, it seems (http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/us_health_care_spending_...)

According to the article that fraction is increasing:

"Medicare and Medicaid are expected to grow more rapidly than private insurance as the baby-boom generation ages. By 2025, government at all levels will account for nearly half of health care spending, 47 percent."

(Note that that is "at all levels". I guess that includes expenditures by states)
> I think Finnish speeding fines are a percent of income.

Yes and no. Lesser infractions are static amounts, larger ones are based on day fines, they determine the amount of days -> units for the fine based on the severity of the infraction and the units are used as a multiplier against your daily income for your fine.

Will using composition help me avoid large, painful refactors if I change the composition of my components?

If I have an object that inherits, I might say:

Object.Func() // Method implemented by base class.

If I have an object that uses composition, I might say:

ObjectA.ObjectB.Funct() // Using method of Object B.

There are dependencies in both cases. Composition simply changes the way the dependencies are distributed across a set of objects.

* Inheritance is getting something from you parents.

* Composition is getting something from your children.

Both are valuable strategies in systems design. It seems to me that your apparent dislike of inheritance is motivated by the fact that it's currently trendy to dislike inheritance, rather than having any rational / well-reasoned technical motivation.

The problem is that it is not at all clear how many would have voted leave if they knew what specific version they would get. It's not as easy as saying these options have been tried (and as someone else pointed out: only certain variations have been tried - most of these issues are down to domestic politics), because people who voted because they believed in "left-exit" may very well have preferred to remain rather than end up with "right-racist-exit" for example:

One side was allowed to sell a fairy-tale that was customised for each recipient, while the other had to deal with reality. The fairy-tales may have been appealing, but only one of them can even potentially become reality.

The reality is that we're ending up with something that nobody voted for, because it hasn't been put together yet. The only thing we do know is that it won't look like any of the promises, because most them have already been shown to be lies.

As it stands, remaining is the most democratic option, as it is the only promised alternative that actually exist and that we have an indicator of the level of support for, and the only option that doesn't rule out substantial subsets of the others later on.

Barring that, many of us will do what we can to minimise the ability for the Leave voters to harm us, by fighting for independence.

> And for millions and millions of people it was shit. Utter shit. Credit card chomping, crappy zero hour job, minimum wage, second hand clothes, crappy car, no life insurance, no pension, crap.

And I respect that a lot of people got it hard. But none of that has anything to do with the EU, and everything to do with the same governments that have been lying to you for decades (and yes, I include New Labour in that).

Brexit is going to affect those of us who are most angry about this least in most respects. I can deal with the economic fallout. I'll benefit from the housing market collapsing, as we can afford to take advantage of it. The impending interest rate drop means I will now pay less on my mortgage per month than I had budgeted with paying per week when we took it out before the financial crisis.

Meanwhile those in the most precarious situations are likely to get hit by slowdowns coupled with the effects of a government that doesn't give a shit about them.

And with the EU gone, a bunch of regulations that have prevented successive UK governments from stepping all over you will be gone.

If this country doesn't get ripped apart by independence movements, it will be torn apart through anger that'll make the winter of discontent seems like a polite garden party at the current rate when people realise the effects of Brexit.
While Perl5 is not a typed language, it does have addon type checking modules such as Type::Tiny that play really nice with addon (ahem) object systems like Moo. It doesn't look pretty but it works. Perl6 fixes that and also makes it pretty as you can declare variables as typed and the interpreter will happily complain when you do something like:

my Int $a = '3';
Type check failed in assignment to $a; expected Int but got
Str ("3") in block <unit> at <unknown file> line 1

It's a bit mode detailed here:

Doesn't Python have any type checking system available s a module?
The problem is that they might be able to get 5-10% of the mining power, or do something crazy like change the proof of work algorithm (They HAVE threatened to do this!).

And if they do that, then there is a chance that there will be two competing forks, instead of one, and each competing fork will dump their coins on the other fork, and basically cause the whole thing to crash.

Core can't "win" by doing this, but they can certainly make the rest of us lose. This threat, along with their constant insistence that improvements are Just Around The Corner, has allowed them to delay efforts to coordinate and make the changes that the community wants.

Eventually people will wizen up to the fact that their improvements are never coming, but until then, they are playing the delaying game to buy themselves as much time as possible until they are able to get their competing, lighting network out of the door.

> As the result, available rental stock is minuscule

Prove it.

I see this argument all the time, the idea that somehow a massive global rise in the cost of residential real estate in important urban centers is "caused" by rent control, rather than a huge increase in inequality, the rise of a winner cities take all job market, or something else.

I've lived in NYC for seventeen years, during which time rent stabilization policy has not changed much, but rental prices sure have. The (relatively tiny) core stock of regulated apartments is pretty similar to what it was when there were homeless encampments in Greenwich Village townhouses, yet people ignorantly shout "rent control" all the time.

So we're sure rent control caused this?

Is there rent control in London? What's happened there?

Are you sure the problem isn't Snapchat payrolls, or rising film profits, or globally suppressed interest rates, or restrictions on Santa Monica building permits, or maybe even Airbnb listings?

Why are you so sure? I have a degree in Economics and everything yet I'm quite a bit less certain.
I totally agree. Upvoted!
I could imagine it has to do with the fact that CSS is declarative and exposes a lot less "internals" to the user than JS does. This allows browsers to do a whole lot of optimisations (parallel execution, culling, delegation to GPU) without risk of breaking anything. With JS on the other hand, browsers must be careful to keep up the illusion of sequential, single-threaded execution because that's what JS code assumes.

That's more because most components are render-focused, which means they're more concerned with props than with state. Of course, a particular render component might also have its own state (imagine a list with pagination for example), which isn't required by any of its parents or siblings.

However, state is something on the whole that's required more often higher than lower in your architecture.

I'm pretty sure that's what they're talking about here. Hope that helps.

Calculating Precision: Thoughts on Dijkstra’s Formal Methods
Yep, we use deep learning to generate an index of audio features and an approximate search to look through it all. We've done lots of testing on both clear and average/noisy audio. With standard transcription matching you get ~alright results (50% retrieval) on clear audio but really terrible results on average/noisy audio (<20% retrieval). With deepgram you get great results on clear audio (90% retrieval) and still really good results (80% retrieval) on noisy/average quality content.

We're always trying to make the indexing and search better/faster. For Hoogley we had to pull some tricks to get the search to be really fast for a lot of users, so it isn't quite as high quality as it can be. Working on it though ;)

Laithewaite was an engineer, used to tweaking things till they worked and then trying to understand & explain them.

The fact that a small boy can only lift a heavy gyroscope when it is spinning defies easy explanation - Laithewaite's mistake was claiming this somehow defied Newton's Laws and was reactionless propulsion.

Laithewaite's almost childish fascination with the gyroscopic effect is charming and infectious.

Why not just prototype inheritance with multiple inheritance? Like Self. The class-instance duality is removed then, and everything is just an editable object. This always made the most sense to me. Then just having the 'universe' be a map of id->obj with prototype inheritance, then editing the universe being reduxy and just a reduce over the objects, with the reduce polymorphised over the object's inheritance (this is the benefit of OO, really, not mutable update)--brings wins of functional, prototype, OO all together.

It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as Photoshop or GIMP, but the user interface is entirely graphical and straightforward.

> The concept of property "ownership" only exists at all because of the strong law-abiding society we are fortunate enough to live in.

That's the core point. There's no meaning to property ownership without a society that agrees on such idea and enforces it. It's not, and it never was, "I can do whatever because it's mine".

I don't know where this idea of absolute ownership right comes from. You don't have and never had that right, unless you can enforce it with deadly force on everyone who disagrees. There's no heavenly light that proclaims a person can have absolute ownership over stuff and others need to respect that.

Rights only exist in so much as they are recognized and enforced. Society is in a big part a mutual agreement to recognize a set of rights and laws, and a guarantee that others will enforce them if any member of society decides to forget about the rules. It outsources a lot of things you'd otherwise have to kill (or rather, get killed) over.

It's entirely possible that they know about it. Considering their recent datacenter opening in India (again, not clear on laws but maybe they need to follow the blocking as ordered by DoT/courts?)

They just started operations in China and partnered with an ISP there, so unless they say that they are not involved, I'm sceptical about this.
> It's about one party at a time being able to use the same word as a brand within the same field.

That may be how it shakes out practically, but it's important to remember the motivation behind trademarks isn't to protect companies, it's to protect consumers from the confusion that ensues when two different entities use the same name. That may seem like a trivial distinction, but it can be important when evaluating a situation based on the spirit of the law. In this case, while the commercial entity may not want an open source project using the same name, that reuse is unlikely to cause confusion for consumers. However the merits of the case are largely irrelevant since a C&D on the part of the commercial entity would likely force a name change long before the courts were ever involved.

Indeed. They got so close to thanking for it though.
Gimp does seem to slow down a lot if an operation would affect a lot of pixels. That's a 13.5 megapixel image, if you're editing a 5MP image, full-canvas operations are much faster. But also, try zooming in on your new 13.5MP image and using a reasonably sized brush, say 20.0 (px?) to paint on it - it's pretty responsive. But if you switch to a gigantic, 200 (px?) brush, it gets a bit laggy (but still fraction-of-second laggy, not multi-second laggy, at that scale).
I doubt anyone would like to stay for a night in such a "no-go zone".

Yes, but why is the question. I think that is seriously not given much thought and people just accept man-made complexity as essential. It seems tautological to say that higher order components extend components, but it is only due to the design decisions of the React authors that application code must fit its own paradigm, not the other way around.
