> Who's using intuition now? Stagflation in the 70's is a pretty jarring counter-example.

My wording wasn't clear. I meant for price rises to necessarily be the case for any rise in the monetary supply, by the PY = MV identity. Of course inflation is still still possible when the economy is not at full capacity or full employment.
Not necessarily. Isabelle/HOL, an prover not based on CH but on the LCF-architecture, can also do program extraction, see e.g. Program extraction in Isabelle:

> I'd take most thing that make C and python popular, to make something as simple as possible, and as similar to C as possible. (...) What I think is the most important thing for a language is that it must be easy to learn and read for beginners. There is no need to have advanced features for advanced programmers.

I understand that your aim would be to create a 'beginners' language. But why keeping the syntax of C? C's syntax is not so much appropiate for beginners, Python is.

C's advantage, or reason-to-be, was to create a better alternative to assembler. That is, to create a language almost as fast as assembler, but with higher-level constructs. Still, C is a pretty "low-level" procedural language. That's why all the features for manipulating pointers, etc. C wasn't really thought as a beginners' language.

From your description, perhaps you would better keep Python syntax as is, and perhaps simplify some features a little bit?

Python may have its failures, but the syntax is so clear that it is very suited to beginners. And I dare to say that it is already used in many introductory courses to programming.
"Who do you expect will fund these treatment programs? I seriously doubt most addicts are equipped to pay for it."

Prosecuting and jailing drug addicts costs a lot of money. You could move that money to treatment.
For those with private student loans, the options are much less; usually deferment or forbearance, usually short-term.

Most people who have/had private loans did so because they didn't qualify for FAFSA to determine that their federal loans covered room and board, but also didn't have enough saved to offset this cost. I think a lot of people are forgetting that, and a large group of people fall into that category.
Early stage startups are high-risk, due to how many early stage startups fail. A collection of early stage startups inherits the risk.

Basically you're hoping that a single success covers the losses of the failed startups in its cohort.
The category "economic regulation" is just a different name for government corruption. It can't be distinguished from safety regulations because they're overlapping rather than independent.

Protectionist taxi licensing regulations nominally exist for safety reasons and might in fact do both things at the same time. The "safety regulations" around nuclear power plants were specifically designed to make them not economically viable, by a baptists and bootleggers coalition of anti-nuclear weapons activists and fossil energy companies.

The distinction doesn't provide a useful filter, it's just a restatement of the fact that cronyism is bad.

> For one you assume it's a problem. It may or may not be. Your solutions are at best a false dilemma and are limiting choice when there could be and are a multitude of other options. If there's a point you're trying to make with your example it has gone well over my head.

Suppose hypothetically that under-aged drinking is a problem. That there are a multitude of other options to solve it is the entire point. The different choices have different economic consequences, so whoever is writing the legislation gets to decide who they want to kill and who they want to save.

A pure example of "bad" economic regulation would be completely naked. There would just be a law that says that only GM can sell cars. But that never really happens. Instead it gets dressed up in some ostensibly legitimate justification.
Thank you, yes this is exactly what I meant.
I was a VC. I think it is mainly that it is a very weak signal. A good VC or a select group of high quality angels does help a company get itself in order, so raising money from a large collection of distant angels tends to be a signal that the quality of the company must be low - as they should have tried to raise from high quality individuals first.

A company with crowdfunding will have to display stronger metrics than a company with strong angels / VCs.

Imagine two companies come to pitch, both are identical in every way. One has crowdfunded a $1M seed, the other got a check from Andreessen Horowitz and the CTO of LinkedIn. Which one do you put your money in? Even the potential deal flow from those individuals helps hedge your bet.

As a side note I think that this relationship of quality and crowdfunding is true (though not always by any means). I have seen fraudulent behaviour by companies misrepresenting their data to a group who are, by a VC's standard, very unsavvy investors. This company was certainly not able to raise money from a VC, but raised two $M+ rounds on a crowd funding site. However, I have also seen good companies who don't have an 'in' to the VC world raise money in this way.

Not everyone outside that 78.6 is employable... disabled, students, retired (some are that lucky), stay at home moms, etc.

The question is: Who is employable (outside of disability, student, etc) and not for legitimate reasons.

The U3 (4.4), as I understand it, is more a "moving target" of recent numbers... it's the number of recently unemployed and still looking

the U6 (8.6%) should be closer to "real" unemployment since it includes discouraged, marginal and part time workers (those under utilized).

Ahistorical. As in not backed up by history?

You'll have to cite with examples. Here's some of mine:

Amsterdam opens the precursor to central bank in 1609[0]. Less than thirty years later, one of the earliest speculative financial crises on record demolishes the Dutch economy.[1]

In the early 20th century, fractional reserve lending practices paired with a rapidly growing economy leads to the first banking crises, most notably in 1907[2]. The damage is largely limited to financial types, but the banking industry starts clamoring for government help to feed their recklessness.

The government obliges them with founding of the Federal Reserve in 1913[3], which allows fractional reserve lending to go off the rails. A World War and a boom cycle later, and we have the worst financial catastrophe in history in 1929[4].

Going off the gold standard in the 1970s preceded the financial crises of the early 80s[5] and the Black Monday in 1987[6]

Finally, another lax round of monetary policy under Greenspan led to a rash of bad investments in dotcoms, and then Bernanke helped precipitate the 2008 financial crises.

Now, you can go ahead and say that I'm making a post hoc ergo propter hoc argument, and that's fine, BUT you absolutely cannot say Austrian economics is ahistorical. It completely relies on history as its foundation.

I think by law they must speak in Mandarin. Check the law here and grep for "putonghua" http://www.gov.cn/english/laws/2005-09/19/content_64906.htm

If you travel in regions where Mandarin is not as predominant as it usually is, you will often see signs telling you "please speak in mandarin".

It depends on your media. On NPR whenever I hear unemployment discussed they almost always immediately follow it with changes in wage and the number of people who are not seeking employment. This doesn't give any particular number a "things are getting worse or better" black and white consequence but that is why I like getting my news there.
Yes, but it doesn't matter if the ray is going up or down or left or right, as long as the angle from the normal is the same. This is because the lens in the eye is circular, and the image that results on the retina is the same.

Googling around I see rumor of a 10-15% take rate on the camry v6.

Toyota sold about 430k camrys in the US last year, so that would mean about 43k - 65k. Which is 3-4 times the number of EVs sold that year.
I do not disagree with you, but at least for me, the most telling is the labor force participation. The fact that we have a close-to-a-record number of people not being productive is alarming.

Oh, and I am not buying the "demographics" narrative (baby boomers retiring, not interested in working), because a lot of 60+ folks need to work, because they don't have enough savings.
Hmmm. I'm an accredited investor. I'd have to be crazy -- or altruistic -- to invest in a typical SaaS / software / Sili Valley startup via crowdfunding.

Why?

* Waste: Absurdly high cost of living in places with startup culture means labor costs must be excessive or you can't get the people you want.

* Focus: Not every software-style startup has Joel Spolsky or another leader with his kind of focus.

* Unicorns. For investors they bring to mind the mid-20th century play by existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre. "No Exit."

If I'm going to be altruistic I'll put my money into paying off student loans for young friends, to give them the freedom to make altruistic choices themselves.
An indictment itself means nothing. A Grand Jury either returns "True Bill" or "No Bill". In this case it would be a sealed "True Bill".
The person I replied to described pretty much the same experience with an EV that costs about the same as the ATS. My overall point is that EVs tend to perform better for normal driving tasks despite having similar 0-60 time because you don't often do 0-60 runs in normal driving tasks. The ATS may well match my S85 in 0-60 time, but there's no way it matches the 0-30 time, which is far more common in normal driving.

This part was interesting, fuel injection has been optimized to the point of modeling the way the fluid vaporizes so it perfectly mists out, making sure to never hit the walls of the pistons:

> It’s also put to use in the Camaro V6, the middle-of-the pack, Goldilocks choice that makes 335 horsepower. This machine highlights one of the most critical things in engine evolution: direct fuel injection. Carburetors that mixed fuel with air disappeared from assembly lines long ago.

> But it was only in the 21st century that engineers perfected the practice of shooting a mist of gasoline directly into the cylinder. Less fuel is wasted and the engine is more powerful because it stays cooler. (The gas actually evaporates before it explodes, cooling the cylinder in the same way that sweat cools the skin of an athlete.)

Without the NASA contract in 08, SpaceX would have gone down, according to Musk himself. It's true that they are increasingly less dependant on the government, and they hopefully reach a point soon where they are completely independent. But in the early stages when they weren't making profits, government contracts were crucial in keeping SpaceX alive and is the reason they exist today.

>If innovative corporations need government subsidies indefinitely to literally stay alive

I didn't say they need subsidies indefinitely. It's clear that once they start making large profits, it's not a necessity- but they take it anyway. I think SpaceX and Tesla are good examples of companies that governments should subsidise, because they are focussed on innovation in fields which are important for long term sustainability. I don't think they should subsidise Exxon or oil companies, for instance.

My point was you can't dismiss government subsidies as irrelevant when in comes to innovation. It is necessary to support companies that carry out important research, but aren't able to make profits yet.
Another issue is legality. Dispute with thousands of investors vs one or two investors.
Seems to me that government tend to treat the web as a public space (like a city park). And naturally some things are not appropriate in that context. But many of us treat it as a private space akin to a bedroom, and expect similar levels of privacy. This difference in view is a source of the problems. Because it is really neither public or private but some indeterminate place in between. We need the difference to be much more explicit so that some kind of social convention can determine socially acceptability. So that the law can respond appropriately to context.

Not really the same thing. Causing suffering to a sentient being carries a different set of philosophical implications than to a being that operates on instinct.

It all comes down to the author's personal preferences and concerns, but a blanket assertion that WhatsApp is not a good option from a security option is silly. WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted with the Signal protocol by default, so the security of its message contents is top-notch.

But if the author is especially concerned about collection of metadata they should consider Signal itself, which also has a very well thought-out UX.
Your original comment made it sound like they had no input in the questions being put to Assange. Merely "present" to observe Ecuador. This article suggests Sweden was involved and I don't see anything suggesting the procedure (under "an agreement the two countries made") was problematic. Who asks the questions seems to just be a technicality here.
Even as a founder I can understand why VCs might be reluctant. Investors accumulate control of a company over each round of funding. This enables them to rest easier that their money isn't going to be mismanaged. The investor-bloc's influence is predicated on the reasonableness of the other investor partners, if they don't see eye to eye then their votes don't have influence. An equity crowd is not a strong partner for the investors. Just the opposite it leaves more control in the hands of the executives because they have the direct communication channel to them.
> yeah, because there's no way alleged senders and recipients of emails could spot fakes faster than people analysing the meta data...

You're absolutely right, and in fact all the Macron campaign would need to do is point out a handful of them and it would call in to question the veracity of all of them. Did they do that though, or did they just insinuate that there might be fakes (like the DNC did but couldn't actually back up with evidence).

I've volunteered technology skills for a long time for social and community causes. Tech assistance ends up often starting as a secondary way to assist and first beginning with non-tech volunteering as a way to learn about problems. It's interesting how much more we can get done if a social enterprise/cause had the right tools and I invariably end up helping with something if I just get involved as a volunteer.

There's some important things that can make a lasting difference, beginning with ensuring there's something you care about, possibly obscure, but important, for possibly a long time. A big part of this is learning about what the issues are and their impacts.

To help pick a problem or area you care about.. there are things that you are naturally drawn to and can't help yourself with.

It's not a bad place to start looking for problems (and other people trying to make a difference) you care about and want to add value to is an important consideration.

Why? The most important thing I experience is the importance of always adding value first, and finding a way to do it. It simply opens more doors and opportunities than anything else I've ever experienced.

From a tech perspective, many social enterprises, groups can benefit from basic mobile apps or tools for the people they work with. The skillset here isn't the hard thing to find, it's a willingness to learn and only then solve problems even if they aren't new or interesting but deliver great value.

If you can help someone save a few hours a week with 10-15 minutes of making an excel sheet, it is a greater help and a start.

All big problems begin as and consist of a lot of smaller problems.

A secret of finding interesting projects that can grow, is that the willingness to solve small problems, because small problems leads to large problems on their own. Almost all of my multi-industry experience is due to the transferability of solving similar problems.

With this in mind, social good can happen independently, with a group, from an initiative at work, and not just exclusively from working with non-profits. Help where no one's helping and you'll find lots of opportunities to add value.

> 1. It is reportedly a better pain killer in some cases than opioids so it keeps people off of the prescription opioids

No it isn't and no it won't. If you have serious pain issues, then cannabis will not help at all.

If you are just referring to a slight ache in your back in the morning, ok there is some research (clinical and anecdotal) that cannabis can be useful as as anti inflammatory. But you should not be getting opiods for this anyway.

Part of the problem IMO based on speaking to various people from various countries, the US is just far too happy to prescribe strong medication (generalisation I know but still) whereas for the same ailments in other countries you would get nothing. Whether this is do to the profitization of the US health care system, or whether when you are paying as much as people in the US are you want to feel like you are getting something in return. To be told, do a few stretches, take a parecetamol (tylenol?) may not seem like good value for money, even if it is the better advice (I have seen similar behaviour in some other countries where health care if more privatised)

Blame? It's more about curiosity.

The poster said "OCSP requests that use the GET method use standard base64 encoding, which can contain two slashes one after another", so I'm wondering if that's that case or it's actually "clients don't encode their base64". I didn't read trough the RFC, but judging by the later statement of "OCSP request using the GET method is constructed as follows 'GET {url}/{url-encoding of base-64 encoding of the DER encoding of the OCSPRequest}'" that seems to be the case.
