Fair enough.

I don't dismiss an emotional argument, I recognize that one can't engage in it, there is no counter point to emotion. Its sometime hard to explain but if someone is afraid of the dark, no amount of explaining risks will change their emotional response. What you can do is ask someone what it is about something that makes them afraid and give them tools to be less afraid.

I don't have any major concerns with nuclear power at the moment. Minor concerns are weapons proliferation which is solvable with thorium cycle reactors. From an engineering perspective. Also I have minor concerns with lifetimes of reactors that have run for decades. Irradiation of metals does degrade them over time so in terms of maintenance I'd like to see more investment in building new capacity so that older capacity could be retired and then packed up for long term storage.

Agree, I sometimes wonder how much of this is just a manifestation of our fear of the unknown.

Consider, the world before the internet when the postal services was doing all the heavy lifting for communication. Once we got internet, a huge chunk communication was replaced by email etc. But, it also gave rise to eCommerce, on demand delivery services etc. And, the same postal services companies are doing better than ever before.
But the section of the CCA Ivey is accused of breaching makes no allowance for whether or not any specific game was affected. It requires that the behaviour tends to affect the game, and given that the casino was happy to accommodate all requests and didn't see card rotation as anything more than superstition, I would argue that rotating a card would not tend to affect the game.

Even if it does, there is a specific penalty defined for breaching that section of the CCA, so it's not comparable to the Golden Nugget case.
If you believe that most of the cost is in disposing of waste and cleaning up a disaster, outsourcing that sounds like win/win
They don't have a nuclear reactor next door though. The energy gets there somehow. That wouldn't change with either energy source.

Test the things that matter
hug (like Falcon) has way lot of "magic". It seems to be a trend (at least in python webdev world). I have mixed feelings about this.

Hug appears to be one of those things that is great when all you're doing is very simple but quickly turn into morass of fighting the opinions and magic of framework when doing anything "real".

Also (good) CLI is so different than HTTP that I see only sadness in mashing them into same interface. like having to repeat large amounts of boilerplate decorators to get it to do what you need. The chaining seems it would help with boilerplate at least.

Still, I hope I'm wrong. I want to have a hug. Falcon's lack of validation and documentation means it solves only about 10% of the problem.
i think its fair. all you will get is the email somebody used to sign in to facebook, and if you tried to do this at mass im sure you would trigger some automated system.

if you really want to target somebody particular there you can get the email address of that person. i have my gmail account from 2004, and at this point, it is resold million times.

all it takes is somebody that i communicated with to do something stupid like allow some app to scan the contact book and my email is in the wild.

Hey did you see the video of Famous Celebrities Facts
I consider reciprocation in a healthy relationship to be a voluntary give/give situation based on judgment, need, and care for one another; not a take/take parasitic one. s/family unit/family relationship/ in my prior post

Taking care of children and the elderly are of course one-sided cases, but when two generations are both adults (pre-elderly parents, adult children), and among siblings, a healthy relationship and taking care of each other goes a long way in times of struggle on otherwise equal footing.
> If the programmer knows what the error is, and how to correct it, then their program should automatically do so, rather than molesting the user

But then the meaning of that syntactic construct differs contextually. Even if it could be parsed efficiently, it still goes against Rust's principal of favoring explicitness over convenience.

> Another cardinal sin and a sign of lack of thinking things through is breaking backward compatibility,

The examples Steve cited span throughout Rust's history, way before any commitment was made to backwards-compatibility. These sort of changes won't happen anymore (it'd require a "Rust 2.0").

If I may quote from the rulebook for Fantasy Flight Games's New Angeles board game (go play it, it's awesome!)

There’s something they used to call ‘the Myth of Shareholder Value.’ It goes, basically, like this: everything any corporate officer does, at any level, must be dedicated to only one thing, which is to increase shareholder value.

...

The Weyland Consortium are the high priests of the cult of Shareholder Value in today’s economy. The Consortium is less a corporation and more an algorithm, buying and selling corporations and extending its tendrils out through every sector of industry: research, transportation, you name it. The Consortium moves and acts like a living thing. No one executive or committee steers that ship. Shareholder Value is its only captain, and every decision made by its chief officers is pre-destined, an inevitable result of gears turning for decades, of market forces filtered through AIs running on corporate servers.
Nice project.

The immediate visual difference with Bootstrap is square corners vs rounded corners. Buttons and other components look strange after years of Bootstrap and its impact on web design. There is probably a few rules to edit to fix that, still... why having to do the work?

Anyway, I'll try to remember natUIve if a customer asks me to support old (but not so old) browsers.
Yes, the claims about economic weakness are correct. Mature American reactors looked like they would be amazing money-printing machines when natural gas prices were high and rising; then the shale revolution happened.

Nuclear power has higher fixed O&M costs than any other large scale electricity source: http://www.power-technology.com/features/featurepower-plant-...

That's a major handicap when competitors have cheap fuel (natural gas) or don't buy fuel at all (renewables). It's partially offset by very high nuclear capacity factors, but not enough. I suspect that much of that high O&M cost is going to wages; a nuclear plant employs something like 4x the number of full time workers per MWh generated as a well-sited large solar plant, and I would expect equal-or-better wages for the nuclear workers.
> In your Beverly Gray example, it's all one editor who did not seem to realize that there is a preview button.

Wow. I count 4930 edits to that page, by a single account, over the 199-day period from January 20, 2016 to July 26, 2016. And then 56 edits by other accounts cleaning up after that one account -- an awful lot of them by just one other account -- with comments like "prune. excessive detail, excessive quotation, excessive referencing".

The result seems to be quite a nice page. I've noted in other contexts that a certain kind of two-author team can be very productive: one who can spew out mountains of verbiage, and one who can edit it down to something readable. Here we see the phenomenon at work once again.

Refugees (in the sense of what asylum laws see as those deserving help) get special treatment because they flee from a high risk of dying, being unfairly persecuted etc: concrete risks to their basic well-being.

The term Economic migrants is used for those that are not in immediate danger, just in search of a better living situation. If the economic situation in your country is so bad there is widespread starvation you'd qualify as a refugee, if I as a european move to the US because tech jobs there pay better I'd still be an economic migrant.

Asylum is an exception to other immigration rules for those that really need it. If you are not in danger, you should follow the normal rules.
You people need to learn how to work a damn search engine. At this point, there are many widely read sources for this information and it's largely an accepted fact among those who aren't actively denying it. This is like some genius coming along and saying "citation needed" every time someone remarks "the middle class is shrinking".
Because immigrants are not refugees. If you want to get a job in a country with better jobs, there are legal means (visas, permissions) to do that and one should use it. Crossing country border illegally is akin to breaking into somebody's house -- just because that person might be richer isn't an excuse. Genuine refugees don't have legal ways to achieve safety in their country, so they are forced to flee.
Exactly, it's like saying that your heart isn't "mature" until you're in your 60s, because before that point the arteries around it are still hardening.

Edit: I dunno about your "people over 30 are risk averse" comment, though. My 30s started off with me quitting my well-paid job to burn all my savings starting a company.
Food weight is roughly indicative of how much you're going to eat, and it's what most grocery stores list nowadays on the shelf price labels, both for basic foods and processed/packaged.

As far as spoilage goes, that's just purchasing what you'll assume to eat. And having a few vegetables go off at the end after you've already eaten many of them doesn't even double the price per unit, while convenience food ranges tend to be many times the price.
Not only that but the failure case when a developer pulls before receiving the memo isn't that bad. Git tells you that the branch was force updated and working out what to do from there is usually pretty easy.
I agree with your main point (that this is a small increment to the industrial revolution), but two objections:

> tell me which people you know, in which industries, have outright 'lost their jobs' due to some AI or machine

Right now AI is still a future technology. The current AI algorithms are the equivalent of the early GSM phones, which looked like car batteries, very far from modern smartphones. But it is reasonable to expect that they will get better, and it is reasonable to expect that we will be able to emulate the brain with transistors and on a much bigger scale some days.

The second objection is that the demand for unskilled workers keeps shrinking. Our society has adapted to the industrial revolution by having a much larger skilled worker base, pretty much everyone can now read and write, college degrees have become the norm, etc. But there are brick walls to how skilled a society can be. A not insignificant share of the population just cannot become skilled. And even among skilled workers, only a fraction will always be capable to satisfy the demand for the "hotest" skills (engineering, software development, etc).

So I think that as that imbalance develops, we are bound to live with a structurally unequal society. And it doesn't have much to do with capitalism, it has more to do with the evolution of the technology outpacing the biological evolution of our species.
Far too often the commit message says "what" while the branch name says "why."

Just recently I had to triage a recently discovered bug whose symptoms disappeared about 4 years ago to determine if the bug was fixed or just masked. This was code that I was completely unfamiliar with because the other engineers that might have looked at it were otherwise indisposed working on things that were known for sure to be issues.

The "what" told me the specific change that masked the bug and the "why" informed me of the feature that this supported. That allowed me to generate a new test-case that showed up in the current version. Without both pieces of information I would likely have had to spend a couple of hours inspecting code changes to do the same.

I'm pretty sure using bootstrap is re-inventing the wheel more than hand coding is. Using a framework which when installed and configured gives you the end result of a "wheel", as opposed to just coding up the wheel using HTML/CSS. Let's also make it clear that hand coding doesn't mean sitting there repeatedly typing out every character on every new job. There is always previous jobs and code to draw on to flesh out the needs of a page or site build efficiently and reliably. The benefit for developers is that you have very detailed control and knowledge of the frontend, rather than some broad "does Bootstrap do this thing I want" buffer between you and your own work. Each to their own. No right or wrong.

To this reader, the point of the article seemed to be that while we understand some aspects of brain development, there is a lot of work ahead. They link to a Neuron paper, which is closer to what I think you were expecting:

Yes, let's lower the cost of disposing of waste - with whatever means necessary, dump it into lakes if needed.
Well, you'll need to write a pretty great proof that it was exactly that which caused the reduction in poverty and mortality. You'll also have to prove that there even was a reduction in both, and you'll need to be more precise about where and when exactly.

I tend to belive it was more the morals of the age of enlightenment and the progress in modern science, which was probably accentuated by those same morals which caused all that. And today, I see a move away from those morals, which is a little alarming I think. But I'd similarly would need to come up with a pretty good proof for all that, as nothing is obvious when so many variables are at play.
Is this something estate agents do a lot? I'm asking because I'm working on an open source project for estate agents and am interested in understanding what they do better.
Well, I'm 38 now and can say with confidence, that during most of my 20s I was a naive idiot that could not see the forest for the trees. So, in my case, yes, I do have superior judgement in my 30s.

it works, thank you :)
It is your work to increase productivity. As tedious tasks are automated, you can deploy people doing new things. As you lower the cost of the product you manufacture or service you provide, you enable more people to afford it. That's how new industries are created. I am not to worried about the amount of work available as a whole. I am more worried about the nature of the work available, which will be increasingly skilled.
…and this is how it will end. We will endlessly quabble over what is worth it and what isn't, burning fossil fuels in the meantime. Until climate change becomes irreversible.

>Your typical 16-year-old doesn't know a thing about history yet, or the real-world practical effects of political choices over time, or just how confounding crowd effects and herd instinct can be, or any of the other weird shit about human behavior and governance

To be fair neither do the majority of adult voters. Politics is not quantum physics. There are plenty of intelligent 16 year olds out there who can understand the subtleties of political rhetoric and what's at stake.

Again, it's not like 16 year olds are compelled to vote. But for teens who are politically active and passionate about changing the world- I feel they need to have as much right to vote as some conspiracy-theory believing, infowar reading 60 year old.

After all, the effects of climate change are going to hit the youngest people the hardest and the baby boomers the least.
>For example a per capita progressive CO2 tax would be one

You can't Carbon tax people by income (because people don't pollute directly). You'll target polluters.

So you go to Apple and tell them that they emitted so many kg of CO2, pay ... tax,

Which will undoubtedly find its way to rising phone prices, which means (poor) people don't get nice things.
Changing a Career
Has Bram Moolenaar ever publicly acknowledged the influence of Neovim on Vim 8? At the very least, Neovim provided the market research to show that async was worth doing.
I'm guessing you're thinking of America in which I would agree. In Sweden and other European countries though, we have a lot of more parties because our system is designed differently. In Sweden for example, we have 8 parties in Riksdagen (the place where the represented politicians vote for shit).

How that works is pretty simple. Here is the short version:

Instead of one party (like democrats or republicans) winning each state, we have 3 elections each election. 1 election for each municipality, one for each county and one nation wide. The percentage of each is seperate and decides how much deciding power (seats) you will get in each instance. Since Sweden is pretty much ruled by each municipality governed by the country laws (essentially made by Riksdagen) you can retain some power in a municipality or county even if you don't get that many seats in Riksdagen.

This creates some interesting scenarios, since I can vote for a tax-lowering party in my municipality but vote on a completely different party in the nation wide election. For example, I may want to reduce Swedens immigration and can thus vote for such party to Riksdagen that maybe have more socially goals for the society.

But in a sense, yes, as long as direct democracy isn't a thing your specific voice won't be heard.

Canada takes it's refugees directly from UN camps, as does the UK. They are well-vetted, they are definitely refugees, and they come as families.

The flood of people into Europe was less than 1/4 Syrians, and those that were were mostly young males and not too many families.

Merkel made a huge mistake by opening the borders.

Disastrous.

It would have been more humane, safe, and cheaper to pluck refugees from the UN camps.

German government could have paid Lufthansa 400 Euros per flight, flown them in from Lebanon right to the spots in Germany. Processed them ahead of time, got them lined up with housing etc. etc..

Instead, many died in transit, it cause political chaos - and terrorists got into the country: the incident this weekend was by a Tunisian, denied status but 'allowed to stay' (meaning he will never leave). No doubt he's angry - as will the 100's of thousands of Tunisians, Pakistanis and others who will not be given status, but 'allowed to stay' and therefore live in a grey zone.

I believe most Syrians, Iraqis and Afghanis will be given status, the rest, not.

Yes, having an ocean in between is an advantage.
Where did I ever say the problem was technical? It might as well be; the political climate will not change. Nuclear will die a slow death while renewables and battery storage continue to have their tax credits for another five years.
