No, if you belong to the working class or the upper class, you most definitely don't think of yourself as middle class.

Wealth and income aren't very good markers for class, there are plenty of working class members who make more money than many middle class members.
Farmland is a form of industrial capital. It's only worth what you can make with it. Since the prices of agricultural products are flat or declining (agricultural productivity has improved) and transportation gets better over time (so farm location matters less), that exerts downward pressure on farm prices.

As population in developed countries levels out and starts to decline, overall property values should decline. That happens, but not in a helpful way. What seems to happen is that population concentrates more. This is very visible in Japan. Tokyo and Osaka are doing fine, while small towns are winding down as young people leave. It's true for parts of the US - Detroit, Cleveland, Youngstown - where the heavy industry left and nothing replaced it.

There is an interesting concept in machine learning called "word vectors" or word2vec. They measure how often words occur near each other, and then try to reduce it to a vector that carries most of that information. This results in similar words having similar vectors. And even a very interesting result that you can do math on them. E.g. "king"-"man"+"woman" gives a word vector very close to "queen". I imagine this is at least somewhat similar to how words are represented in the human brain.

I wonder if you looked at the space of all word vectors, and found areas where words were missing. Do to some quirk of language, there was no word to represent that point in concept space. You could also compared the vector space for multiple different languages, and automatically determine what words don't have equivalents.

Bingo. Homes bought for capital gain are best thought of as leveraged credit bets.

Where were interest rates "20+ years" ago? Where are they now? What fraction of the original investment was invested up front, i.e. down? (The last number speaks to leverage.)

Presumably as this is a container ship the height of the ship when it's fully loaded will be much higher than in the picture. The bow essentially acts as an aerodynamic nose cone to the container stack.
Reminds me of [Quest][1] by sailor-philosopher and self-declared citizen of the world [George Dibbern][2], who renounced his German passport in 1940 and created his own with the following declaration:

> I, George Dibbern, through long years in different countries and sincere friendship with many people in many lands feel my place to be outside of nationality, a citizen of the world and a friend of all peoples.

> I recognize the divine origin of all nations and therefore their value in being as they are, respect their laws, and feel my existence solely as a bridge of good fellowship between them.

I've often thought of the dollar value of my US passport (/citizenship). It would definitely be my most valuable asset (then again, taxes are by far my biggest expense). Besides almost unrestricted travel - my income is far higher in the US than it would be in any other country I've looked at.

It's easy to forget how lucky those of us in the developed world are and how so many try so hard to gain status here.

Good luck on your journey, and I hope someday you're able to get the US tourist visa to experience the joys of the US: Yosemite, NYC, Disney World and Taco Bell.
I'm surprised more distros don't just offer you a .torrent file over https. After you get that from a trusted source, you can download the files/ISO/image from wherever (webseeds, random people on the Internet) and the torrent client will do all the checksumming for you automatically on the fly.

It's also easy, simple and cheap to maintain while already being popular enough among your target audience. Certainly more people know how to run a torrent download than how to check GPG/PGP signatures or even would run a regular checksum.

Are you unfamiliar with the concept of Leverage? Sure, having an investment keep pace with inflation isn't phenomenal, but in the US it's standard to put 20% down of the house value. So if inflation is 3%, I can realize 15% on my investment.
It'd be better off to quiz people on their beliefs. Perhaps if someone answers they think honour killings are barbaric (to play off what Trudeau said), then they don't get a visa. But I suppose that'd be as much of a joke as the previous questions they asked "are you a member of a terrorist organisation". OTOH maybe it's not such a big stretch to say that visa-issuing officers should review for cultural acceptability in addition to financial capability, likelihood-of-return and all the other criteria they use.

And then it'd leak information. People would say "hey, wait, how did you get a visa if it asks serious questions". Unless there's an exemption for lying in that group, then the group might go after them. (IIRC, certain religious groups in Europe were big on quizzing others regarding baptism. Some answerers viewed lying incredibly poorly, to the point of answering truthfully even if it mean they'd be killed.)

Many folks (mostly boomers) believe that land/houses are by themselves a good investment. So they buy a larger house than they need and more land than they need and rationalize it saying it's the smart thing to do because "prices will always go up".

Of course if you buy houses and rent them out you can make money. Being a good landlord takes work though, and it's by no means a guaranteed way to riches. Having unused rooms in your house or land that's idle? Lousy investment. Summer home? Lousy investment.
In my programming career 3 languages have changed how I look at programming. The first one was scheme which is still my go to language for most of my personal projects. The second one was prolog and the third was Forth/factor.

Whenever someone asks where to "widen their view" I generally recommend prolog or factor (15 years ago, I would have said scheme, but lisps seem to have been all the rage so I no longer need to).

Perhaps you misunderstood my comment. I basically said that I thought having a maximum length of service was a good idea, but I didn't think two terms was the right target. Perhaps three terms would be a better target. The reason I think three terms is better is that you want the leader to have to face up to their own mistakes. It strikes me that with one or two terms there's still a tendency to blame your predecessors for the state of the country rather than accepting responsibility for the cock ups.

Reasoning about immigration laws is pointless because the foundation is based on magical thinking. There is no logic at all behind any of it. Citizenship by blood, by birthplace, by religion... then you look into getting a travel visa, or a work permit. There's nothing rational about any of it. Just endless lunacy. I probably shouldn't complain, as I'm eligible for four different citizenships... but when you look into this stuff, there's nothing very logical about it, and it's somewhat depressing that the planet is still this bizarre.
The checksums and PGP signature are on the HTTPS page which links to all the downloads. You have to trust that page from the start no matter what (or establish the PGP signature trust from other ways, which is quite possible just far more involved) because that's the source of all downloads and anything there could be faked from mirror links to checksums to PGP signature (assuming no trust chain is actually established by the user).

My initial point is that no matter the solutions offered, the user has to care about checking. Forcing HTTPS transport for the download isn't really going to make it any more secure because it's still possible the file is illegitimate and you should be testing the signatures.

tl;dr: Arch's downloads are over HTTP, the checksums and signature are over HTTPS and on the official download page.

The numbers were valuable only so long as the fuel existed. As soon as it didn't, they're no longer valuable. Each references fuel. If the fuel it references doesn't exist, then the RIN is fraudulent.

This is very similar to an argument that libertarians make about their opponents. As long as the government is made up of benevolent geniuses with perfect information about every individual citizen, then socialism is a great idea. In reality, individual preferences are unknowable, and government workers are fallible and have motivations of their own.

In reality, neither utopia is particularly achievable in the world as it currently is, but that doesn't mean that incremental steps in one direction or the other can't improve the situation.

The strong version of the hypothesis is basically the old "if your language doesn't have separate words for blue and green then you're incapable of seeing a difference between blue and green", which is conclusively disproven by all the cultures which don't have separate words but nonetheless are able to distinguish the colors when producing, say, complex patterned textiles.

And logically speaking, strong SW makes developing words for concepts impossible since strong SW says that from your perspective there's no perceivable concept you'd need to develop a word for.

Versions weak enough to stand up to empirical evidence tend to be "if your language makes it more complex to express a concept, it'll be more complex for you to express the concept". If you word it up fancy, you can get things like "people who speak language X do this task faster", but that's unsurprising if their language is giving them help at it.

> heat loss from incandescent to make them more efficient, maybe even on the order of today's LEDs seems more promising to me

This is already happening - you can apply a 'hot mirror' coating to reflect infra-red radiation back into the bulb, while allowing visible light out. This is a very old idea - here's a patent from the early 1960s which states that the basic principle was already in use:

http://www.google.com/patents/US3174067

And another which applied it specifically to coating a halogen incandescent light bulb:

http://www.google.com/patents/US3209188

Here's a report / puff piece from 2013 asserting that this technology is currently taking off and claiming that "by 2018 the efficiency of a hybrid halogen incandescent light bulb will exceed that of the current compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) and equal light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the market by 2023":

That's what he originally said and all I could find on his website[1]. I think in other interviews he's backed off, first with "of course there'd be exceptions". Which would be obvious: otherwise you'd prevent heads-of-state visiting. Then he changed it to "obviously this is about countries related to terrorism" which can probably be seen as just an extension of current policy, a backtrack from his earlier position. Which seems typical: stay something "outrageous" back off to something more reasonable.

A followup on package update delivery would be quite interesting.

Taxes complicate things.

In Canada at least, homes that you live in are not subject to capital gains taxes. So if my home increases in value, it was a tax-free investment.

On top of this, I'm reducing my expenses. My rent used to go up every year, following inflation. My mortgage is a fixed amount, and I pay a very stable fixed amount of it every two weeks. Once inflation is factored in, I will pay less and less over time to live where I do.

Extra money you earn is taxed. Extra money you save isn't. When taxes are high, this factor is important.

Overall, I suspect I could make a bit more money investing and renting- but not all that much more. I consider the difference a little fee I pay to never have to deal with some shitty landlord again.

> Here in the US I've heard families earning from $30k to $200k, working jobs from manual labor to white collar, call themselves "middle class."

$200K is definitely considered middle class in the US, especially by the left. For example, both Clinton and Sanders use $250K as their upper limit[0].

As for manual labor vs. white collar - it depends on what context you're talking about, but in terms of sheer economic purchasing power, that doesn't really matter that much. (Incidentally, a lot of white-collar office jobs pay a lot less than many blue-collar positions). There's definitely a class and status aspect to the term 'middle class', but that's much harder to quantify (and is also only loosely correlated with income - hence the existence of the term nouveau riche.

As an aside, $200K isn't necessarily as much as people think it is, which is (one of the reasons) why people like Clinton and Sanders consider $250K to be middle class[1]. A lot of people who "make" $200K in gross income are often working jobs which require them to cover a lot of large expenses (such as vehicles/equipment) out-of-pocket, or are running their own businesses[2]. While they might seem rich if you just look at the $200K figure, that doesn't mean they're really rich in any meaningful sense of the word - even if they're frugal, they could still be living quite hand-to-mouth on that amount.

You don't need to match the driver version between the host and the container. Actually, you shouldn't include any driver file inside the container.

I'm expecting a resurgence in colonialist-like approaches. Especially in the context of the Middle East. It's exactly failures like Afghanistan and Iraq that make some consider solutions involving total governance for much more than just a few years.

Except your mortgage interest may also be 3% so you may realize nothing on your investment.

Gets worse than that actually.
Much of this "prosperity" is driven by warlords stealing resources from places like Eastern Congo. And that's where everything Rwandan gets really nasty.

A guy named Laurent Nkunda once cleared an entire city of roughly 75 000 people. (Goma. Many of those were running so fast that children and the elderly were left behind. Which made for some pretty sad sights in the aftermath.)

I had a Swiss friend who was an observer (UN) in Congo and had to come stay with us in Houston to decompress before going back to her family in Lausanne. She had the misfortune of being assigned an inspection tour in the East. She toured the Congo Army lines... fine ... no major problems. As she approached the lines of Nkunda's forces she saw a wall built from dead bodies... and the wall was topped with the heads. Yeah... it only got worse from there.

Rwandans do some pretty nasty things around Africa to steal their wealth. But I suppose it's easy to overlook that stuff if you're making money. And to be fair... a LOT of people in Africa do these things. Of course, we don't usually do business with those people.
