Apologies - apparently I'm mistaken with the first - apparently several years ago there were public discussions about it and they claimed they were going to, but never followed through. Probably some more secondary sources confirmed it for me that I never double checked. (Also, wikipedia claims that although the UK doesn't ban, plenty of other countries do - and in the US it seems only Virginia explicitly bans them)

RE: Headlight flashing, I can only find sources from a few years ago - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-12823922 was the one I remember hearing about, but several other instances seem to have taken place; i.e. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/9324722...
I really don't understand this argument. I can only assume it's some sort of euphemism I don't have the cultural context to understand.

Belgium is split right down the middle by language and culture, with many people supporting a split into two independent countries. Spain has Catalonia and the Basque country, two culturally and linguistically distinct regions that have long fought for independence. Ireland has spent most of the last century in a slow-burning civil war. Half of Germany was part of the Soviet Union until 1989.

When people say that universal healthcare can't work in the US because of "diversity", what exactly do they mean by that word?

I think that it's a worthwhile exercise in politics to both

a) not assume that the guy you like is always telling the truth, and

b) not assume that the guy you don't like is always lying

My favorite (recent) reference to how to evaluate a politician's claims is this article[1] from Popehat.

As a politically aware member of neither party, I've found the in many cases, diligence has been the only thing that enabled me to understand the point a political adversary was trying to make, instead of simply parroting whatever clichéd soundbite I read from whichever website that broke the news.

I'm not suggesting that we shouldn't be skeptical of a politician's claims. Indeed, I would prefer that more people were more skeptical of the claims of every politician, but that means not giving a free pass to the politicians they like, and being perfectly willing to call bullshit on your favorite political agents, even if you agree with them in other areas, and even if you agree with them on the claim they're making now.

Allowing our politicians the luxury of getting away unchecked with lies is dangerous, but it seems that most Americans are happy to do so if they're okay with the agenda the lie is made in support of. I really hope that changes.

I don't think it's an exaggeration. In some areas its not permanent jail, you just go to jail on weekends. However, the structure of justifying best efforts to pay child support exists in a world of dad jobs. You can't get letters from Uber stating you gave it a good effort X many days this week. Getting an attorney costs money, if you had money I am sure it would go to child support. Additionally, it is not easy to take time off most jobs to attend court hearings. It also does not reflect well if you ask your employer for time to attend such hearings.

1. Your citation says:

"It follows that if the government intervention aims at achieving full employment but stops short of increasing effective demand over the full employment mark, there is no need to be afraid of inflation."

2. Inflation levels were through the roof long before the Fed Reserve Act established full employment as a mandate.

Yes, Obama did this https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2017/0...

I'm not sure which order your first point is in reference to, but please point it out - https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/president... - none of this is a secret.

The bigger point is that you seem not to know how to process the fact that Obama issued a lot of EOs on his way out. Process this by understanding that he did not invent the "midnight regulation." I, like you, also believe that Obama's an incredibly smart man, but I do not grant him literal prescience in predicting the actions of the Trump administration in the recent weeks.

Wasn't it obvious that USCIS has not utilized modern technologies to boost efficiency, but use its own inefficiency to boost its size?

Any decent large corporation of this size should handle a large number of customers with ease. That number, I guess, would be orders magnitude more than USCIS' incoming requests. You may argue the case for USCIS is more complicated. Granted that, I still think the amount of work is much larger than USCIS.

I too recommend Toastmasters, without repeating what's been said, see it as a place to experiment different styles of speaking and a cheap place to fail. I would perhaps not start at a corporate toastmasters at first but a local community one. Also look into Advanced clubs where everyone is very driven about improving. Giving productive feedback through their evaluation program is also a useful skill.

On practise:
I don't recall who or which podcast I heard this from but even professional comedians practise a lot. There was a metric of practising minimum an hour for every minute of your speech/act. It's not all about brute memorization, its the fine tuning of little things that make the delivery amazing.

On fear:
Even the best still get butterflies. Public speaking is said to be very counterintuitive to our survival instincts since you expose a lot about yourself to a large group of people. Practise lets you manage that fear and fosters more confidence.

I think you'll learn a lot about speaking, and entertainment in general and will gain appreciation for good presentations.

Finally, you'll realize you won't reach out to everyone in your audience. In an average technical presentation, if 25% of my audience felt the content was too complicated, 25% too easy, but 50% just right, then I've succeeded.

Best of luck!

No this isn't true. I was a CPA focusing in Tax before transitioning to the tech world. I couldn't count the number of IRS notices I have had to address and respond to for my clients over the years. It's a real simple process. You write a letter addressing the IRS notice that was sent to the client explaining the situation along with what you have done to remedy the situation (here is the tax I owe along with penalty and interest and/or here is why you are wrong). That's it. Issue solved and problem resolved.

Now if you are suspected of tax fraud, that's a whole other ball game but that doesn't come about from small honest mistakes.

You must continue to file, claiming a foreign tax credit. Then there's the double-taxation issue, in that unless the country you're living in has a tax treaty with the US, any income over 100,000 has to have taxes paid in full to both countries, and there aren't that many tax treaties.

Then you have to file FBARs with FinCEN because likely you have a bank account with more than $10,000 in it, subject to forfeiture of 50% of the balance if you don't.

Then there's FATCA which is onerous enough that in many countries, banks will not do business with US persons in the first place, which will poses a challenge.

Then there's the fact foreign brokerages cannot have accounts for the benefit of US persons unless they're regulated by the SEC.

Then if you own a business abroad that you're the sole proprietor of you may well have a controlled foreign corporation (IRS 4.61.7, form 5471), have fun.
That wouldn't allow him to blame women, though.
Well, I think there is a semantic difference between saying that they "don't appear to want it very badly" and stating that they "should appear to want it very badly". If someone seems diffident, you might say they don't want the job very badly, right? But you wouldn't say that about someone who seemed excited about it. It's just an idiom. You have to show some interest, but you don't have to be desperate.

About the "dying for the job" comment, though, I agree that is going too far. Personally, I think you should project a positive attitude about both your previous job, and about the possibility of working at the new place. But never act in a way that implies you aren't on equal footing with the interviewer. It should be a discussion, not a petition.
Legal aid (and no-win, no-fee class action lawyers for "obvious" cases) already exists. But that doesn't mean that corporations don't have deeper pockets and a stronger interest in winning in many circumstances.

> Interesting, I'm not aware of the difference. I'd say ambition subsumes enthusiasm.

i can understand where your coming from: there is probably truth to the idea that... in general, if you are ambitious you will be enthusiastic or vice versa. but:

1. they are not mutually exclusive. to apply for a job you are underqualified for and disinterested in would be both ambitious and unenthusiastic. in practice this might not really happen but...

2. for the purpose of the interview, any enthusiasm is useless if you don't have the charisma to project it. ambition is more of a factor for you to internalize. it is relative to your own experience. enthusiasm is different. it's more important to externalize. i care if i'm ambitious, the interviewer cares if i'm enthusiastic. i don't want to hire someone who doesn't love the job- and if they love it i don't care if they're overqualified (lacking ambition).

> why lead with that, to display confidence?

in my experience, this again is more of an internal thing. it's not that externalizing confidence is valuable (probably more of a liability, really). it's that confidence manifests itself in other ways that are inspiring or attractive. for instance, i am pretty humble and sometimes nervous; i hate selling myself. but when i'm genuinely excited for a position, it's easier to suppress the instinct not to brag.

> that still lacks some sympathy and isn't constructive ...

your mindset needs to be "i'm really excited to apply for this job because it's totally awesome and i can kick it's ass" -- not "i'm applying for this job because i really hate my current job". the right type of confidence and enthusiasm will only come from the former. i realize this argument is kind of... philosophical?, just trying my best to generalize what's lead to any success i've come by :)
I'm sorry you feel this way. I was only trying to help someone who asked for help. I can't change my experience. The only thing I can do is elaborate on what I meant and provide examples and specifics about what constitutes not appearing to want a job very badly. But you're not asking for those things. Instead, it feels to me like you're trying to pick a fight by jumping to conclusions about my tone, which I don't really know what my tone is as written in text or why it's coming across as so negative to you.

I'm not talking about the difference between just wanting a job and over-acting like it's the only thing in the world. I'm not talking about fawning over the interviewer or pretending like there are no other jobs. I'm talking about people who come into an interview with an overtly negative attitude and say things that make it explicitly clear they could care less about the job and make it explicitly clear that they expect less experienced people to adapt to their ways and not the other way around. This is not the norm of my experience, I am referring to the worst interviews I've ever had, and summarizing the reason in what I thought was diplomatic language.

I suspect you're getting confused by my trying to use mild language and be somewhat nice and forgiving about the kind of interviews I've had. When I say I've interviewed people who don't appear to want the job very badly, I am exaggerating in the positive direction. These (few) people were outright antagonistic to the idea of being adaptable and getting along with others.

There's no way you could know these things based on what I wrote. But there's also no reason you need to assume the worst either.
> in C, generic code is usually implemented with the runtime overhead of void pointers or function pointers.*

When performance really matters, seasoned C programmers more often write task-specific implementations or choose macro-based libraries. In this particular benchmark, the C implementation is using a macro-based hash table which does not have the penalty of void*.

We are, obviously. From the article:

"Nor do we have to understand the mechanisms that underlie those competencies. In an illuminating metaphor, Dennett asserts that the manifest image that depicts the world in which we live our everyday lives is composed of a set of user-illusions,

'like the ingenious user-illusion of click-and-drag icons, little tan folders into which files may be dropped, and the rest of the ever more familiar items on your computer’s desktop. What is actually going on behind the desktop is mind-numbingly complicated, but users don’t need to know about it, so intelligent interface designers have simplified the affordances, making them particularly salient for human eyes, and adding sound effects to help direct attention. Nothing compact and salient inside the computer corresponds to that little tan file-folder on the desktop screen.'

He says that the manifest image of each species is 'a user-illusion brilliantly designed by evolution to fit the needs of its users.' In spite of the word 'illusion' he doesn’t wish simply to deny the reality of the things that compose the manifest image; the things we see and hear and interact with are 'not mere fictions but different versions of what actually exists: real patterns.' The underlying reality, however, what exists in itself and not just for us or for other creatures, is accurately represented only by the scientific image—ultimately in the language of physics, chemistry, molecular biology, and neurophysiology."
I mean, isn't that true and why almost all of our electronics plug in?
I was going to comment along these lines - while functools exists, where appropriate I'd say iterators and/or list comprehensions are more pythonic. Note that if one wants to work with simple reduce functions, there's the operator module to help:

from functools import reduce
from operator import add

# I'd also say this makes for more readable code,
# documenting intent - but many will probably say that
# basic arithmetic should be clear enough:

def is_even(n): return n % 2 == 0
def square(n): return n*n

# Don't do this for summing integers, just use "sum":
reduce(add,
(square(n) for n in
range(1,5) if is_even(n)))
> 20

Note the use of range() rather than literal list - if you have a list, that should probably be passed in by name.

Anyway, the point wasn't so much bikeshedding or code golfing - just expanding on what I think is "more pythonic" take on it.

And to be clear, I'd probably prefer:

sum(x * x for x in range(1,5) if x % 2 == 0)

for this particular example. And for more complex "real world" cases, I'd probably prefer to define my "reduce" function directly ie:

def my_sum(iterator): return reduce(add, iterator)
int_sequence = range(1,5)

my_sum(square(n)
for n in int_sequence
if is_even(n))
> 20

Note that python has map and filter as built-ins, so it's also possible to do:

sum(map(lambda x:x*x,filter(lambda n:n%2==0,range(1,5))))
# Which I find rather unreadable, but gets a bit better
# without lambdas:
sum(map(square, filter(is_even,int_sequence)))

(Phew, please excuse my personal dive into new/old list-comprehension/functional python -- but at least now I'm more clear on why everyone keep adding "threading" macros/syntax to their functional languages :-)

[ed: And if one wants threading-like syntax along with some parallelization and lazy-ness in python, there's a module for that: https://github.com/EntilZha/PyFunctional

from functional import seq
(seq(range(1,5))
.map(square)
.filter(is_even)
.reduce(add)
)

Just FYI.]
I believe inferring sum types like that would make the inference system far more sensitive and complicated and possibly even slower. For one, it would likely mean mistakes like, say, assigning two different types to a variable may result in weird error messages, and may also limit how often coercions trigger.
