What is new is that the elder people now need a greater level of care, for a more protracted period. That's new. In the past people who couldn't care for themselves rarely lived more than a decade. Now it is not unusual for such a person to live many decades. It isn't everyone, nor all old people, but it is a rare family that doesn't have a grandparent in need of 24/7 presence. The primary carer then needs relief. So you've got at least two or three people who are not able to alter their living situations without 'abandoning' the elderly relative.

Conversely in china, some young women are not getting married because they do not want to be roped into caring for their in-laws too. One of my Chinese students admitted that she was desperate not to return to china after graduation for fear of being locked into caring for her grandmother. Should she marry here, she would then be under pressure to have her grandmother move in. Her goal was to stay single and in school as long as possible. It's harsh, but she didn't want to be married so long as her grandmother was still alive. Marriage to a Chinese boy would only compound the problem as he would likely be in the same boat.
I think the really interesting part about all of this is that it is possible. You can hook up an oscilloscope and a logic analyzer and really figure out what's going on all the way down to reading the microcode and decoding the signals. You won't be doing that on a modern system.

That's not a sound way of thinking about economics.

Seeing that a certain level of supply remains stable over time tells you a great deal about the amount of demand present.

Of course it does. Much like looking at the skyline allows you to make some basic assumptions about aggregate demand for office space in Manhattan versus Kearney, Nebraska.

Yeah. Seeing some Scala Build Tool stuff a while back really turned me off. Me: ooooh, look at all that overloaded operator stuff! Scala guy: those aren't overloaded operators, they are just function calls with funny names and optional parentheses. Me: it just gets better and better :-(

Operator stew, whether Scala or C/++, REALLY makes me appreciate the Lisp style of function calling. "Evaluate inner parentheses first. There is no step 2." Now you're trained in "operator" precedence, which, by the way, I have seen responsible for far more costly errors than runtime types. (I'm putting C's lack of any real type checking at all in a different level of problem - sometimes useful for systems stuff, but foolish for general biz apps)
Non-profits have revenue. They can and do charge for memberships, services, and products. There is no reason to assume that a social network run by a non-profit would be for free.

AA 587, which ironically happened on an early model Airbus before they went FBW.

Your perspective will influence how you classify the accidents. Proponents of full FBW will argue AF 447 happened exactly because part of the FBW system was disabled.
When you're looking at fractions of a percent, remember to consider other options. Set up brotli, for example. Or redesign your site to have a leaner layout. You might not ever reach the efficiency level where optimizing optional tags is the best use of dev time.

And the overhead of tracking which tags are optional in which circumstances is not particularly small. Consider that the extra complexity could impede more optimizations in the future, especially now that your markup requires a more complex parser than it could have needed.
I would argue that enforcing, or at least favoring, immutability and the ability to trace data flow is more helpful that static types. You could have both, but I know which one I would rather give up first. (actually, in the best of all worlds, I would want optional [compile time] types as well as type inference)
Seconded. It's nothing more than a nuisance, but one has to constantly carve up carcasses just in case, and constantly drop rotten meat. Not fun.
Housing prices are trivial to explain: urbanization is much faster than population decline. Housing in rural areas beyond the commute horizon (and outside of tourist zones) can be had for close to nothing just about everywhere on the planet, I'd be surprised if Japan was an exception.

This also explains why opening the doors to immigration is such an unattractive "solution" (quotes, because I refuse to consider taking a break from exponential population growth a problem) : immigration rarely comes without urbanization and even shrinking countries (or maybe especially them?) are still seeing growing cities, all the shrinkage is happening in the increasingly abandoned countryside. Thinking of this, it might not even be a new phenomenon: historically, non-urbanizing immigration was so rare that one would typically sideline the border-crossing aspect and just call them settlers, no matter where they came from.

The one that gets me is the suggestion that direct flights are more efficient. Sure, if you go from New York to Los Angeles, but it wouldn't make sense if you were headed to a smaller city away from a major centre.

With millions to be saved, I'm sure airlines do a decent job of working out the most efficient combination of large direct flights and smaller commuter planes. I don't think a 3/4 empty 767 to Fargo is the way to go.

If you want to take it to an extreme, imagine if the post office only delivered your mail point-to-point in the interest of efficiency.

The value is that optimizing would make jade/pug's code more complicated, whereas a generic tool that minimizes html according to these rules would work on whatever preprocessing tool you use (PHP, ejs, erb, handlebars, pug) that spits out HTML.

Do one thing and do it well, pretty much.

EDIT: editting since I can't reply to child post.

The thing is, if jade does it well on its own, then all the other tools won't profit from it. I believe jade should focus on outputting easy to understand, well-indented HTML.

When debugging HTML problems (missing attributes or whatnot) in development, I always disable any kind of minifiers. If jade implements a minified output, it would need to be optional, further increasing complexity.

If minification is a build step, I can just disable that step. Easy peasy.
Why is population decline from the current levels inherently bad again?

It's interesting to note that DE-CIX, before filing this lawsuit, hired the former President of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany Hans-Jürgen Papier, who is very respected, to evaluate the legality of BND's practice at the DE-CIX. His findings were crushing. Now going into court against the foreign-intelligence agency with the assessment of such a highly respected judge is probably the best strategy you could come up with. I wish them best luck!

I remember reading an article about AirBnB breaking into Japan, where the local resistance wasn't the usual complaints of limiting the monthly rental supply therefore jacking up rental rates, but that AirBnB 'encouraged more foreigners to come here'. To get rid of foreigners, Japan puts up so many blocks and delays to permanent residency they hope you get the message and choose to leave.

Why tax people per mile driven? Just put the tax on the gasoline (the actual source of the carbon) and you'll promote both driving less and fuel efficient vehicles. Whenever possible, design laws that promote the end result you want, not some proxy.

Of course, as much sense as it would make, raising the tax on gasoline is politically impossible. As is imposing a tax on miles driven.

The problem with making things directly visible to consumers is that everyone is a consumer and if the laws are annoying or harmful to them, they will vote in a government that repeals the laws. Then your carbon reduction measures are gone.

> For example, their FAQ states this:

>> It is extremely unlikely that any post-2008 Intel hardware will ever be supported in libreboot, due to severe security and freedom issues; so severe, that the libreboot project recommends avoiding all modern Intel hardware. If you have an Intel based system affected by the problems described below, then you should get rid of it as soon as possible.

> That's some of the most unprofessional editorializing I've seen from a software project.

How is that unprofessional? Recent Intel hardware does contain binary blobs that you cannot disable and that have full system access, which does raise both security and freedom issues.

>> In summary, the Intel Management Engine and its applications are a backdoor with total access to and control over the rest of the PC. The ME is a threat to freedom, security, and privacy, and the libreboot project strongly recommends avoiding it entirely. Since recent versions of it can't be removed, this means avoiding all recent generations of Intel hardware.

> The Management Engine is, by the way, intended to help large enterprises automate administration of PCs on their network. Calling it malicious is intellectually dishonest.

I didn't see them call it malicious in their FAQ. Yes, it's purpose is to provide a backdoor for legitimate owners of the computers to administer them. That something has a legitimate use that does not threaten freedom, security, and privacy doesn't mean that there is no risk that someone will find an illegitimate way to use it.

What it comes down to is that they value having only free software on their systems, and you cannot do that on recent Intel hardware. Hence, they recommend avoiding said hardware.

>I dispute labeling this program as a "donation".

It's a release of course videos that they don't charge for. Making free videos available for the public certainly isn't going to help UC Berkeley's $150 million budget deficit.[1] It's not going to make anybody rich. If any university wants to provide free videos to the public with no strings attached, I consider that a generous gesture on their part. I want us (society) to be generous in return. Therefore, lawsuits are the wrong tool for captioning videos for the disabled audience. (Oh btw, I know your school is losing money and may lay off some employees but about those free videos ... yeah we're suing you for that!)

>Disabled people pay taxes in California, and yet cannot avail themselves of this content that's ostensibly provided for the public benefit.

There seems to be a "accommodate-ADA-no-matter-what" principle that's present in many comments. We are not that inflexible. Disabled people may pay Federal taxes but we did not install multi-million chairlifts on Yosemite Half Dome (a Federal Park) so wheelchair bound people can experience the summit. The Yosemite Park entrance pass is $15 per car and we didn't all agree to make it $200 per car so that we can subsidize helicopters to take all disabled people to the summit for those who can't climb it on their own power. Yes, we do have wheelchair lifts for the buses running on the valley floor but we didn't make everything equal for all disabled tourists.

If a business has 14 employees or less, we also don't make them comply with ADA access. That exclusion is written into the ADA law.

The point is that there are are tradeoffs, limits, exceptions, and compromise to make ADA work. If a "14-employee threshold" seems like a reasonable exemption from ADA, let's make "freedom of spreading knowledge" another reasonable exemption. Don't punish institutions for providing free knowledge. Let's not disincentivize other institutions from releasing free videos just because they didn't cross every 't' and dot every 'i' to comply with ADA. Let's find another way to add captions and braille without the lawsuits.

Because it kills the economy and forward momentum of a society, puts a huge burden on public health and other services, creates a elderly society with less "new blood" innovation in ideas and politics that stifles the (fewer) young people, and beyond some point it's not even reversible without the country falling many places in GDP and standards of living.

Population decline in general isn't necessarily bad. Demographics highly skewed towards old people are problematic though, and if nothing is killing off old people that's what you get when birth rates go down.
I mean handling the losses.

The way I see it, it's morally equivalent to poaching. Sure, kill that animal if this is really the only way you can eat. Otherwise expect a big fine. And in a western industrialized country, it's generally the latter case.

After using Go for a few years, I've learned (the hard way) that Go does not separate the concepts of implementation details and the official language specification. The official implementation is the language, and they're inseparable. This is why a lot of design decisions about the language make you say "wait, what? why does it need to be that way?" and the community's official answer is "because that's how it works best with how it's implemented".
