It all comes down to either you value each life equally or not. If yes then there should not be borders at all. Until this happens it's very unfair to encourage illegal immigration. If I break the law and rob a bank and give 1M dollars of stolen money to my kids, I will go to jail and 1M dollars will be taken away from my kids. I broke the law and kids should blame me for money taken away. This is no different with illegal immigration, if you come illegally and break the law you and your kids should be deported regardless if they were born in USA. This is only fair and kids should blame their parents not the country.

My understanding is that more than direct exposure to radioactive materials in fly ash, the real risk is Radon. As Thorium and Uranium decay they will produce Radon, which can accumulate especially in low-lying areas with poor ventilation (e.g. basements, which tend to rely on concrete as a key building material). Since Radon can be inhaled, it has the potential to cause far more harm than anything "baked into" the concrete itself.

I have a hard copy of both the Classical and Quantum books. I highly recommend them as an introduction to concepts assuming you have a bit of background knowledge in maths and a willingness to learn (though the notation in the Quantum book is arguably not the best notation to use -- I've not seen wide usage of |u> and |d> as base spin eigenstates).

In particular I found the Boolean logic -> Quantum state vectors progression quite interesting, and the emphasis on the history and how you can build formalisms was particularly interesting. Also, it gives you problems (like a "real" textbook) but they are written in such a way that the text is more like a story but you learn the required maths to solve the problems.

I loved reading these books while I was in high school, bored with the math-less "physics" we were being taught.

I investigated what's happening to him, and empathise with a lot of his struggles. We're overworked, underpaid, ignored, and rejected by the government.

He's got excellent work experience for Mozilla, and a good degree. Working for a tech company in New York. What's bad about that?

- He's still asking for a second job on weekends just to make ends meet.

May 22: "What part time job would allow me to work on Friday - Sunday with some rest in between? Need one so I can make up some cash."

- He can't afford anything more than a tiny room:

Apr 13: "if only @LifeOnPurple can release a full size mattress tonight I'd be able to purchase >_< my bedroom can't take a Queen size. #mattress"

- He cares about the world, but it makes him poor (me too - refusing to work for weapons manufacturers or oil companies has seriously limited my scope of potential jobs)

Apr 5: "I'd be interested in working at places where I can exercise social responsibility and making industry standard salary. Too hard."

- He's bored at work, probably because managers don't give him enough to do, or don't care enough to simply talk to him. ]

Mar 28: "When I don't seem to do much or making huge progress at work I wonder am I the new fossil at work? At age of 25? Really?"

- He can't get insurance (me too) because of systematic mistreatment of foreigners by the government (me too):

See it's stuff like this that makes me suspect that the climate change debate is more about virtue signaling than any actual threat. Because really if we honestly believed that the earth was warming because of carbon and that this presented a serious threat to the planet, we wouldn't be like "oh well fairness dictates that we let some countries keep emitting high levels of carbon." That consideration wouldn't even come up in a situation where we were faced with a serious planetary threat.

The only reason that this is even coming up is because climate change proponents, deep inside, believe that there will be no serious adverse consequences from climate change.
Is it lagging 18 years though ? I mean, be serious. Just stop.

And the only slight drop on that graph "just happens", I'm sure, to coincide near-perfectly with the 2008-2009 crisis.

> Not important enough to work hard?

That's a fascinating (but sad) cultural value. Normally (in most prosperous countries) if you cared about your family, you'd come home early to spend time with them. Your spouse and kids put far more value on the time you spend building your relationship with them, hanging out/chilling with them, over any extra material/monetary gain you could bring them.

After a certain point, money doesn't bring you any happiness. If you have enough money to cover basic expenses, then your happiness is mostly going to be determined by the quality and depth of your human relationships, your social life, your community, etc.

I feel that this line of thinking (excessively working for your family) is something that makes sense in poorer/developing countries like India and China, but it seems like a bad cultural artifact/holdover in relatively wealthy country Japan.
I'm so used to how sigils in perl5 work that I don't think I could convert to perl6 very easily.

I've always wondered though, under use strict, why couldn't the behavior of sigils be modified. Your declaring the variable ahead of time, you could give hints to the compiler about what kind of variable it is. If it clashes with a reserved word, strict could cause it to fail.

Example 1:
my $string = "this is a string"; # works like past versions

$string .= "!"; # this is a string!

Example 2:
use 5.30;

use strict;

my string($) = "this is a string";

string .= "!"; # this is a string!

Advertisers don't just care about clicks. "Impressions" are also an important metric. Much of the jank caused by ads is caused by JavaScript or Flash code that is inefficiently polling the DOM to see if more than 50% of the at is within the browser viewport. This situation should improve with the introduction of the Intersection Observer API which lets the browser call you back when your ad (or other lazily loaded content) is in or near the viewport.

Building next to the ocean is fine. Japan has a lot of experience in protecting their shorelines. The seawall that covers over 40% of their coastline is very impressive. However, as the 2011 tsunami demonstrated, all defenses eventually fail. While some blame lies with TEPCO avoiding recommendations to upgrade the seawall, it's hard to defend against the insane[1] power of over 4m of moving water.

This is why the real lesson is to build defenses in depth, with enough variety to protect against common mode failure. Fukushima Daini - only 12km away from Fukushima Daiichi - suffered similarly from the earthquake and tsunami, but a single surviving pump (and the skill and effort of the staff) was enough to prevent Daini from suffering the same fate as it's sister powerplant.

Good engineering asks questions like, "Are we safe when (not "if"!) the entire bank of backup generators fail?", or "Can a single event cause catastrophic failure?"

> The very fact that you must write (function sin), or #'sin, or use funcall is a way that it treats functions differently than normal values. Since it requires some amount of extra though and/or typing, this often seen as a bad thing.

What a silly thing to say.

The reason you need to put "#'" in Common Lisp to indicate that you are referring to a function, is because in CL functions have their own namespace. So "#'" tells Lisp that you are referring to a symbol that is inside the function namespace. Otherwise, no "#'" and Lisp will look at it on the regular namespace.
Conversely, if you prefix a symbol with ":", such as in ":this :that :foo :bar", the ":" means that this symbol resides on the keyword namespace.

Thus, in Common Lisp you can have a function named "foo", a variable named "foo", a keyword named "foo" as well with no conflict.

It has NOTHING to do with functions being or not being "first class citizens".

> When I think of a black hole, I assume it has a gigantic mass, enough that it's always the most massive local object, and subsequently pulls in all other things.

The sun is not pulling in the earth. Earth orbits a common barycenter with the sun. That barycenter happens to be inside the sun, but the sun is also orbiting around it.

So a small object orbiting a bigger object is an approximation. Orbiting their common center of mass is a better approximation. This is more easily visible in the pluto-charon system.[0]

The same of course applies to black holes. Them being heavier than most other objects in their vincinity does not render them immobile any less than the sun being the most massive object in the solar system renders it immobile.

Could you go into more details about this? Many of the others sound like very sad combo of really bad fit between city + job + goals, but the insurance stuff on an employer plan at a large company is news to me. Vision coverage usually isn't the most useful thing in the world (the expenses are too predictable), but I've still never been denied it and always have had employers that offer it, and I have no experience being foreign to speak to that, but again, even pre-Obamacare employer plans I saw for middle-class+ jobs usually had some level of preexisting condition coverage (generally along the lines of "if your insurance has lapsed for 3+ months, then there's a 6-12month waiting period for coverage specific to that condition") and my foreign co-workers didn't seem to be on a different set of plans than anyone else.
