Haskell is a pretty good host for DSLs. But if you want to go lower level than Haskell, you have to essentially write compilers for your embedded DSL rather than the usual interpreters.

And of course, Haskell's type system is not endlessly flexible (yet..). Eg Haskell still struggles expressing relational programming or linear types / uniqueness.

I do not understand why such a company would not go for central European company where it would get the price for quality ratio much better than in the US. I know that building a factory by Foxconn is probably a way to pay building tax, but the question is if that outweighs revenue.

It's because grading CVs is hard.
I'm trying to understand what your objection is.

Suppose you're right and a $5000 voucher will cause a $1000 increase in tuition for three years, after which new schools will open and the competition causes tuition to fall again.

So as a parent, for the first three years I'm up net $4000/year and $1000/year is going to build new school capacity to meet increased demand, and thereafter I get the whole $5000/year. Am I supposed to be unhappy about this?
That is why I said majority of stuff, some are clearly good, like insulin for TDB1. For TDB2 however, the insulin also kills pateints due to the hypoglicemia (as body adapts to its sympothoms) in what I deem to be unacceptable number, while there may be more promissing treatments in "alternative medical circles". Statins are useful only for small subset of patients - clearly overprescribed just like AB and lead to diabetes, dementia and other adverse effects.

The points you made about the causes of those deseases are irrelevant when we talk about treatments. The reasons for a disease are not the reasons for clearly suboptimal treatments. And you certainly can't justify destroying family to lengthen the life of cancer patient for few months, maybe a year, in a general case ?

> ... are willing to take the tradeoff for resolution of acute problem over long term consequences

Meh... majority of acute treatmets have very low long term consequences. AB is not one of those as evidence shows that gut flora may take very long time to recover (or it may never recover) even after single usage (and we know that disfunctional gut flora is bad). But I can probably take a bet that few doses of ibuprofen will not harm me at all. What I am saying is that standard medicine does have many fenomenal things but that people should probably look elsewhere for help about stuff it doesn't handle good at all. This requires everybody to be very well informed, not something most of humans have time or motivation to do.

> We are willing to take those risks because we decide that it is worth it.

No, "we" are taking those risks because doctors tells us its safe and that risks are trivial or non existent (while at the same time bashing supplements as dangerious?!). "First do no harm" should probably be deleted from mission statement. You don't really think that random person knows anything about medicine or that it questions doctor ? Its mostly buisnis only.
I'm familiar with the Ethyl Corp case, which is an interesting case to dive into.

Canada banned a fuel additive that was only used by one company (foreign) called Ethyl Corp on the basis of health reasons. Ethyl Corp sued, saying the additive was actually banned for political reasons rather than on any scientific grounds, and the Canadian government chose to settle - paying them some $20 million dollars and withdrawing the law they were implementing.

On the face of it, it seems like Ethyl Corp was the bad guy and the Canadian government was pursuing legitimate policy in the public interest, and this is certainly how it was played out in the media. In actual fact, Ethyl Corp presented the Canadian governments own documents coming from the Health and Environmental departments, dating to about a year prior that unequivocally stated that there was absolutely zero danger from using the additive in fuel. In fact, the party that tried to get the law through had had strong historical links with the domestic companies competing with Ethyl Corp.

In all the papers, it was portrayed as 'Company sues government over environmental protections/health protections', and that's how all ISDS cases get presented in mainstream newspapers. 'Company screwing with our laws' sells way more papers than 'company disputes unfair government policies', I guess. I don't know about you, but I don't think it's fair that foreign investors should be unfairly discriminated against in this way. ISDS prevents political parties from favouring their contributors over foreigners by enacting biased laws such as these. Why should Joe Public lose out because one of the parties is trying to cozy up to their largest donors, and why is it fair that international investors get screwed just because they're foreigners? In actual fact, ISDS is a great way of keeping governments accountable by limiting the political favours they can hand out whilst in office.

Regulations aren't grounds for an ISDS suit, unless they're implemented discriminatorily.

Sure, which means people with wealth already. The more wealth the more you will benefit.

Someone with no money to invest (directly or indirectly through savings accounts) can't benefit.

So, instead of getting paid well, we should be happy with companies indirectly contributing a little to us through their succcess? Sounds like a great excuse for people in the middle to skim a cut.

Look - I'm not saying I don't see the value of business, but that doesn't mean we should just let businesses do whatever the hell they want because them doing well benefits their owners/investors (direct and indirect).

Nice try, but I expect that the template is contained within the app template (or really any other template), i.e. `<spinner promise=promise> <inner template parameterized on data here></spinner>`. I don't want to be passing raw html strings around.

It's interesting, but you can get caught out easily - especially when using LINQ to SQL without knowledge of what's happening on the database side.

I also don't think anyone's programming "just" C# - I'm a web dev, so I'll do Javascript, Razor, HTML, C# and SQL as the situation requires.

There's also a huge difference between programming ASP.NET Web Forms and the latest version of WebAPI.
There's of course also the distinction between parallel and concurrent.
> Additionally, it's important that people realize that CO2 production is in tons of CO2 per year. Tree offsets are a one-time deal, since when trees die they release CO2, and when new ones are born they absorb that CO2 again. After they've been planted, forests are generally carbon neutral. That's why we can't "just plant trees": we'd have to be continuously planting new trees. The Earth is only 8% arable land, much of which already has stuff on it, or is undesirable for one reason or another. We'd run out of space pretty fast. Trees are good for other reasons: preventing climate change (different from global warming), preserving species diversity, being nice to look at, etc etc.

You misunderstand the purpose of trees. They're basically solar powered, organic carbon sequestration devices that happen to run for free. If we ever run out of space to plant trees, we can just cut some down, reduce it down to charcoal and bury it back into the ground which conveniently leaves a readily accessible fossil fuel source for our ancestors in the case of civilizational collapse.

But we're still a long way away from running out of room to plant trees. We're still desperately trying to plant enough trees to stop the encroaching of the Sahara and there's vague, futuristic plans to try and turn the entire Sahara into a forest. Similarly, China is desperately planting trees to stop the encroachment of the Gobi.
How many people in your position would make a similar decision? Do you expect the tuition rates and housing rents in the college town of your choice to go up or down? What happens once the education system and landlors absorb and accommodate the influx of revenue?
Do you not see the difference between being polite and being obnoxious when you decline the search of a device in your possession? Indeed, the border agents can refuse to let you enter the country either way, but the probability of that happening would probably differ in the two cases.

I agree (I would never make that claim, other autists may feel differently) , and do think there should be better support systems.

Some individuals may need treatment because they have meltdowns / anti anxiety w/e but I don't think this should be framed as 'treating' or 'curing' autism. Autistic individuals may have all sorts of difficulties in their lives that need to be addressed, but the solution isn't to make those individuals not autistic.

When we talk about struggles that minorities and people of color face in American society today, you don't say let's 'treat' or 'cure' blackness -- I don't even need to explain why that's an affront.

In the UK the poverty trap is very real. A young person with a family in social housing and on benefits has to jump right up to something like average income to be better off. The penalty for getting a job is colossal. UBI would mean that if they could get work for even 4 hours a week it would represent an improvement to their income. It is an incentive to work

Human carbon emissions are currently about 10 billion tons annually (10 Gt/yr), which equates to about 40 Gt/yr of C02.

http://www.wri.org/blog/2013/11/carbon-dioxide-emissions-fos...

Total carbon stored worldwide in biomass, dead wood, and soil is about 640 Gt.

ftp://ftp.fao.org/docrep/fao/010/i0105e/i0105e04.pdf

Of the 550 Gt of carbon humans induced into the atmosphere since 1870, 390 Gt was emitted directly (through burning, cement production, etc), and only 160 Gt was through deforestation and other land use change.
Carbon is necessary to all plant life on earth. It is good for nature. The carbon cycle was running down to the point of depletion. We do not need less carbon.

Drop the sensationalist BS headline please. "Individual net metering" is explicitly mentioned. Net metering = individual solar panels owned by property owners. AKA The utility can't build solar but they can use the solar from any household that connects their own solar to the grid with net-metering tie-ins.

This means that renewables of some sort are in fact allowed. All it took was reading to the 9th tiny paragraph.
I think this quote from Temple Gradin (noted autist) sums it up best:

“In an ideal world the scientist should find a method to prevent the most severe forms of autism but allow the milder forms to survive. After all, the really social people did not invent the first stone spear. It was probably invented by an Aspie who chipped away at rocks while the other people socialized around the campfire. Without autism traits we might still be living in caves.”

If you have a password in a form that gets submitted to the server and you're not using TLS, then anybody between your user and the server (which is a lot of people these days) can read that password and the associated username (and all data ever sent) in plain text. There's zero confidentiality.

If you're putting a password field on a page where nothing is ever sent over the wire, I'm not sure what value that password field is really adding, anyway. Might as well swap it for an input and, voila, your users won't have any warnings.
> Street promoters make me sad. If they can find no job they better stay at home and learn something new, but they have no time for it, so they are stuck doing useless, maybe even harmful, work.

If these people really have such a large earning potential if they were just learning something new, why not let coworkers get together and finance a fund: The worker (let's call him John Doe) will get his existing income for, say, 2 years, financed by the coworkers together. John Doe on the other hand is of course obligated to learn something new (what exactly is agreed upon beforehand). After these two years for the next, say, five years John Doe has to donate, say, 40% of his gross income back to the coworkers who financed him this opportunity.
Both sides should be willing to agree on such a deal: John Doe gets his opportunity to learn new things and (hopefully) get a much better job afterwards and his coworkers will (hopefully) get a lot more money back than they originally invested.

It took a few tries, and I started off easy with the bed making, then building on that. It's not so hard to make yourself make your bed or drink some water. Then when I'd gotten a couple of those down as a regular thing, it was just a bit of reflection - 'well I didn't really feel like making the bed or walking to the kitchen all those days, but now that I do it it doesn't really matter if I want to. I guess eventually push-ups will work the same'

Turns out pretty much everything works the same. Maybe the trick is that I didn't really do anything that wasn't incremental, just a day at a time, but you just kind of keep going with the momentum.

Now I tend to just do that reflexively because it's just worked so many times in so many different areas.

Are you talking about actual experts, or claimed experts?

> Saying we should just give up on using data to make predictions is ludicrous

Who is "we". Statistics can still be performed, but it's unrestricted "authority" must be examined - it's too easy to do "bad" or "not" statistics, and claim it to be valid without restriction. It's also easy and common to use misleading statistics too, so simply outlawing bad statistics isn't enough - there need to be clear guidelines on non-ambiguity, much like exists for legal documents.

> I use statistics to better understand my data

You don't benefit from statistics half as much as those that use it to gain political power.
At this point, any hand-wringing over political correctness feels like mass hysteria a la UFOs in the '50s or fairies in the Victorian era. I see a lot of complaining about it, but I can't even tell you the last time I witnessed any examples of political correctness having any impact on anything of any import whatsoever.

On the other hand, I've seen seemingly endless instances of people using political correctness as a strawman to blow off disagreements or criticism without having to address them. It's like a blank check for assholes: if they think that all the people who think they are assholes are a bunch of brainwashed PC zombies, that's a lot easier to deal with than looking in the mirror, thinking about it for like 2 seconds, and maybe growing up a little. Nowadays anti-political correctness seems like an infinitely more widespread and toxic influence on our culture than any supposed PC conspiracy, in the sense that it shuts down honest discussion and keeps people from talking about real issues or understanding each other's perspectives.

Ironically a lot anti-PC hysteria uses verbiage about how we should all be up front and direct and brutally honest, but in practice it ends up doing the exact opposite. Nowadays anti-PC hysteria isn't people saying "tell me how you REALLY feel, don't mince words, let's talk straight about real issues"; rather, it's a mostly homogenous group of people saying "shut up and go away, I don't care about seeing things from your point of view, how dare you act like you're special enough to have your own perspective".

There's a kit car industry for that.[1]

The Ford Mustang was a middle-class sports car. Models are still in production. Lee Iaccoca pushed that product line forward. It was cheap to build and popular with young people. Any Chevy dealer can sell you a Corvette. Fiat-Chrysler makes the 124 Spyder, with list price under $25K.

None of them sell all that well. But they're all available.

Great misquote! Slick.

At the moment governments are pressured by other governments and multinationals to have stronger rule of law. The cost of capital is higher in more corrupt countries. The threat of capital flight is a significant disincentive to government crackdowns on democratic movements -- building stops, bond returns skyrocket, lines of credit disappear, arms sales stumble.

TPP is the promise that your foreign capital is safe, even though locals are screwed. Even better, companies sue governments for raising the minimum wage, or enforcing OH&S.

This isn't 'give a little, get a little', this is 'we're taking your rights'.

Ask HN: How to make coding at home not feel like work?
I program at work most days, for most of the day. I enjoy programming, and when I come home I want to program more (to learn and build things). My issue is, I associate coding with work. Sometimes after coding at home and returning to work I have a "burnout" feeling, similar to that I get after working weekends. In the past, my home computer setup was similar to my work setup (a desktop with 2 monitors). I switched to a laptop at home, which helped. Does anyone else relate to this experience? If so, have you found any ways of solving it?
