Not all regulation is born equal. When the single payer is also the regulator (which is the case for nationalized healthcare), regulation is introduced to limit the costs. When the regulator is being reelected thanks to the money given to it by the players, there's much more variance in the outcome of the regulations.

There's a lot of bad regulations in the US, on top of my head: public hospitals are not allowed to negotiate the price of medical equipment, so pay 5-10x the price paid in France, for instance. Gross margin of health insurances is capped as a % of the underlying medical cost, so the higher the costs, the higher the profits.

US healthcare system is simply crazy. I (and my family) have very very good coverage thanks to my current job, but I'm out of the country as soon as the situation change (not that I'd have much merit doing so: my visa doesn't allow me to change job, so if I'm fired or my employer collapse, we will have to leave anyway).

And as mentioned in the article there's Legendary mode which is basically a magnifying glass for the results of the world generator. Apperently people use it just to see what happened during world generation, maybe even using the results as inspiration for other media like pen&paper RPGs.

OK, I'll bite: yes, "Mathematics can be true, beautiful, compelling, creative, unique, etc", but those qualities are generally only discernable by other mathematicians working at a roughly comparable level. Same for code; I've talked to promising-but-junior programmers who couldn't understand at all what people meant when they talked about code being "ugly".

"Art" in its various forms, on the other hand, is widely appreciated by people who are not artists, or art critics, or art dealers, or art students. (I'd exclude an awful lot of modern art from this, but that's probably a flamewar for another day.)
That is insane!

Stop bitching and move on to write your very own legacy shit code!
Unless they paid for your relocation you don't owe them anything. MORALLY you definitely don't owe them anything. They lied. You agreed to do one thing... this is something else. You're only morally liable to do the work you agreed to.

At the very least you should talk to your manager / hr about this situation. Hopefully there's some other role that uses your skills that they can put you in. If not they need to know that this is BS and you're looking for a new job (NEVER BLUFF ABOUT LEAVING. They may call you on it). If nothing else this will, hopefully prevent them from doing it to someone else. Hiring someone is expensive, and the time cost of spinning up a new person is expensive. It's not in their best interests to lie to people. It costs them money.

On the other hand, legacy code isn't necessarily a bad thing. The work of bringing it up to modern standards can be rewarding (if they'll let you do it).

These communities aren't useless. They just support fewer jobs and probably a lower standard of living than they once did. This happened to coal mining towns in Wales a hundred years ago. A lot of those people came to the US. But Wales didn't become useless, it just lost a major source of employment. People will migrate, retrain, change their expectations.
I think this post does not deserve to be down voted. Objectively, making them pet is a viable commercial approach.
VW aggressively cuts costs and reduces quality of their American products. The American Passat is different than the European Passat, we get the Euro Passat in the US as the CC. VW also massively decontented the Jetta a few years ago to better compete with the Japanese cars. Despite the car reviewer universally chastising VW for making their cars feel "cheap", Jetta sales skyrocketed.

This is not just a VW thing. For the longest time Honda did the same thing: European Accord were sold in the US as Acuras while the US got it's own special Accord.

This is probably due more to the high vehicle taxes and lower volumes of Europe than it is an inherent "cheapness" with Americans.

I'm in a very similar situation as you are, except instead of starting a vineyard, I started a goat dairy and cheesemaking business. We produce a variety of raw milk goat's cheeses:

and raise +/- about 100 dairy goats:

Weather definitely affects our income as well; we were in a drought for the last couple years, which limited our grazing time.

As you also noted, being a broke cheesemaker seems to be far more interesting to folks than being a developer. :)

I think that's more education and changing societal norms than anything else. What are the chances that you actually get caught without your seatbelt?

Why would traffic laws deter someone from not wearing their seatbelt but not deter someone from speeding?

If you look at the traffic laws that work well - stopping at a traffic light, not driving on the wrong side of the road, etc. compared to ones that don't like speeding, using your traffic signal, crossing the gourd, you'll notice that most people decide on what laws to obey based on the risk of injury to themselves or someone else.
"Ponzi scheme" apparently is just invective that can refer to any sort of market failure now, not necessarily the actual Ponzi scheme type investment fraud such as that which Charles Ponzi carried out.

In this particular example, remember that Charles Ponzi's books were totally fake; outright fraud. That does not characterize other phenomena such as other things like speculative bubbles or simple investment gambles that don't pay off. In contrast the Bernie Madoff scam is a recent example of an actual Ponzi scheme.
It's true that there's some aesthetic judgment involved in writing proofs, but it's heavily constrained by the problems you're trying to solve.

The still-timely passage continues:

"The anti-Rockefeller focus of these otherwise incompatible political positions owes much to Populism. 'Populists' believe in conspiracies and one of the most enduring is that a secret group of international bankers and capitalists, and their minions, control the world's economy. ... Populists and isolationists ignore the tangible benefits that have resulted in our active international role during the past half-century."

Oh for crying out loud, what difference does it make? If you want to call video games art, call them art. If you don't, don't. What's the point of quibbling over terminology, especially subjective terminology? It's like arguing over whether or not vanilla is a "great flavor."
I am also saying I agree strongly with the law's straight-forward stipulation that abstract material is ineligible. There's no justification for letting someone patent things just because they went to a lot of trouble to find or create something obscure, if it is entirely imaginary (abstract) or part of nature.
Police officers are exposed to personal liability more often than you'd think. But police unions almost universally require that the municipality indemnify or otherwise insure their officers for any personal liability.

It's similar to D&O (director and officer) insurance that every corporation carries. Directors are exposed to substantial personal liability from stockholder suits, but all that cost is just passed through to the corporations.

For many, many reasons I don't think professional liability insurance is a good comparison. Suffice is to say that being a cop is not a traditional professional occupation. The incentives just don't line up the same way. It's like arguing we could make the internet safer by making programmers personally liable for their bugs. There's some superficial logic to it, but only when you ignore the reality of the labor market and how it's structured.
What's frightening is that he was actually proud of it - he really believed in it. I wonder how many other powerful families are working towards the "more integrated global political and economic structure", consolidating the power of the global elite. Good luck to everybody else...

Edit to clarify: in an ideal world what he stands for is right. but we're not in an idea world. where there's power there's often corruption. therefore, sooner or later the power ends up in the wrong hands. the problem is that if the world is too "integrated" and power does inevitably end up in the wrong hands at some point, there is absolutely no recourse.

I've seen a lot of people argue that this is ultimately what makes conspiracy theories so attractive in the first place. It's much more comforting to believe that everything is under control and part of a deliberate plan, even if controlled by people you don't like as part of a plan that works against you, than it is to believe it's all just a bunch of random stuff happening.

Given your $10-15/hr rate, the monthly insurance costs for a vehicle are paid for in less than a day. As SD cars prove themselves, they may even have lower insurance costs than humans.

Since drivers can't work 24 hours per day, you are paying depreciation on ~three 2017 Toyota Camry's, not one.
The thing is that we never hear about the high percentage of uneducated people. Those that couldn't read/write or were busy tending the fields never wrote anything, nor were they frequently written about by name.

Well educated people these days are likely more well-read due to more resources, more history and more expectations. We stand on the shoulders of giants but still stand above them.
That same Radiolab episode indicated that some fraction (something on the order of 1 in 20 or 50) of those cranes could raise young even though most couldn't.

For example, in any discussion of anything anywhere on reddit that mentions anything about feminism/social justice/women's experiences there are thousands of brigaders from alt right groups, the donald, that down vote, spew garbage/destroy the thread. Doesn't matter how civilized and respectful the subreddit is, there's always at least one lurking on the lookout for it and it only takes one link. Look at a discussion about a feminist book, a discussion about a scientist who is female and worried about mistreatment in the workplace, anything. Hundreds of accounts come out of the woodwork, spew hate, call people 'cucks', upvote each other and downvote others. Threads are locked, comments sections turn into grey graveyards, the particular community moves on and learns not to discuss things like this because, well, is having the discussion really worth dealing with all that inevitable encapsulated impotent teenage male rage?

I really don't think art has such a clear definition, but nevertheless looking at definitions, here's the first thing on Google:

> the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

Can you find no space for mathematics there? No definitions or creations produced simply because they are beautiful? Maybe some later found uses, but that feels like discounting Michelangelo's David because it could be used to hold open a large door.
Welcome to the real world. If you want to write elegant code using the tools of your choice I suggest building your own product or service on your time. The business NEVER cares about tools, languages, or best practices. Expecting the business to value this stuff will cause you to burn out and be unhappy. They employ you to add value. So add value.

For anyone who's too lazy/dumb to do the above, just buy a couple portable Hard Drives on amazon. For ~$110, you can get a 4TB drive that fits in your pocket.

No power needed, no OS maintenance, no booting up, no spinning fans, immediate data transfers over USB 3.0, and oh, did I mention you can carry it in your pocket.

Right, and you played it in your formative years. I can watch a movie like "The Third Man" or "12 Angry Men" or "Scaramouche" in my adult years, made decades before I was born, even though I was reared on more flashy stuff, and find it as much as if not more satisfying than what I had encountered before. Could you get a 7 year old today who's had a couple of years of XBox 360 and Wii under his belt to enjoy SMB on the NES more than just to play it for 3 minutes to examine it as an artifact of another age? Even when he's older and can understand the evolution of video games?
One of the nice things about this is the last section (if you can bear to read that long). Both people comment on the strengths of the opponent's BSD: OpenBSD is complemented on "tackling very important project [sic] which would probably have never happened otherwise" (e.g., OpenSSH), particularly also the fact that OpenBSD cares to see their projects ported to !BSD (e.g., Linux). Meanwhile, FreeBSD is complemented on "its [sic] a real “enterprise” oper-
ating system and I think it is slowly filling the
spot left by Solaris."

At the end of the day, both OpenBSD and FreeBSD are niche systems. They don't have the popularity of Linux, and they probably never will. But that's not a problem. Both of them are major operating systems that do innovate, and hence they're worth paying attention to. That's where the compliment of FreeBSD as becoming Solaris's successor is really telling--Solaris was the operating system that brought us DTrace and ZFS, and it was FreeBSD who I believe had the first container system (jail).

> Except, of course that all the Eurogroup does is feed suggestions into the Council of Ministers, which literally holds the formal powers.

Nope. That's what you might wanna believe. Finance Ministers are treated like total idiots - most of them are tbh. They have 10 minutes each to talk about the problems of their country and that's about it. While they are talking others are cheerfully blabbing about personal shit. After this happy exchange of opinions, the German FinMin passes a set of papers which other FinMins are forced to sign blindly, go home and say something along the lines "I know it sucks, but if we want to be part of the EU we need to sign this...". Every now and then the French and Italian FinMin try to express an alternative view but they get quickly spanked and sent home crying like babies.

You might find that acceptable. I don't. I am part of the majority apparently, so fasten your seatbelt 'cause the next couple of years we're going for a wild ride in Europe.
It's about how they go about it, putting the Middle East into so much turmoil for example, hurting people over there in an ends justifies the means manner. It's the wrong way to go about it and therefore at its core its rotten and therefore the sought outcome will never be positive in terms of the biggest picture for all. It's a dangerous track they now have us on and the people aren't happy. I'm not sure we could suffer another false flag attack like 911 without a violent revolution following it. The true path towards global integration is a slower patient one--one where the powers that be might not live long enough to selfishly bare the fruits of it. So they rush it. There's no doubt what's gone on in he Middle East is about oil. We don't need to be directly stealing it through a pipeline for the conspiracy to be true. It's about oil price stabilization, which is crucial to the steadily ticking "integrated" world that is good for business. And since it is about that, and this guy was head of Chase for 33 years, guess who likely was one of the biggest cosigners of and conspirators in these plans.

Just read the Wikipedia article on the Gulf War. It's clear GH Bush pursued it to keep the oil price stable. It's clear the US developed some enemies in despots that don't listen to us. It's clear America has a mandate to not allow harm to its image of ultimate strength on earth. It's clear that George W came to finish the job in his first year in office nearly 10 years later. The idea being it would secure oil prices once and for all while letting the world know America won't tolerate despots. It's way easier to control a democratic country than despots adamant on doing things their way. There are more ways to manipulate said country/government. It makes for a more "integrated" world for the ruling elite.

I believe they have good intentions. With outdated thinking. Narrowly constrained by personal self-interest. And as a result their intentions are not in fact good for all. I don't believe in James Bond style villains. Everyone is doing what they think is best. It's just unfortunate that the cabal's big picture is severely small and doesn't include all.

I was thinking along the same lines -- for example, say if scientists do bring back a huge group of passenger pigeons. Would these passenger pigeons know which route to fly, which parts of the habitat to utilize, etc. similar to those of their extinct ancestors?

It's almost like the scientists would then need to 'bootstrap' the de-extinct animal's brain to give it it's previous identity and knowledge.
