Worse still is casually lumping together all different types of fat as simply "fat".

Different types of fat have different nutritional effects and should be considered as different nutrients.
One thing that I forgot to note. My Japanese is so good that very rarely can someone discern that I didn't grow up in Japan (it's usually through mannerisms or attitude that they glean that I have some foreign background).

But even then, I've experienced a glaring lack of cultural fluency that only comes with spending a lot of time in the society. A lot of unwritten rules and customs that we all take for granted for our native cultures.
Base map vs hidden game features. Outside of Korea the base map is 100% Google.

When Mike Hearn quit bitcoin (Jan 2016), he wrote the Chinese miners were worried about bitcoin getting too popular because of their limited access to the Internet. And said they were actively trying to supress its popularity. But obviously that isn't true now?

That isn't a major risk — why don't all the people living in relative poverty in your nation move to the richest district of your richest city?
The current market cap is not appropriate for the current usage of bitcoin - it's like a startup valuation that "prices in" the assumption that the usage will massively increase.

Thus any limitations that would prevent a large growth in adoption would also destroy most of the existing/stored value, since whenever "the market" would believe that the usage growth is going to stop, the price and the market capitalization would drastically decrease.

Sounds good, doesn't work.

A world of free movement would be poorer as mass immigration would overwhelm developed societies, increase conflict and eventually lead to even more protectionism than existed before (Brexit).

Rule of law and institutions in developed countries will suffer and mass migration would also destroy the economies of the migrant exporting societies (Puerto Rico).
It's just as silly to assume that everything will be fine if we lose one species as it is to assume that everything will collapse. These questions need to be asked and studied, not just dismissed with a sneer either way.

> If the worry is that future migrants might not pay their way, why not charge them more for visas, or make them pay extra taxes, or restrict their access to welfare benefits?

it just doesn't work that way. there's this thing called equality before the law, or something.

this sort of thing has been tried and US state and local governments are generally not allowed, by federal law, to deny the most expensive benefits and services to immigrants. it's, like, the US constitution and stuff.

note that educational services (i.e. schools) are a very large part of state budgets. like, sometimes the largest single component of a state budget. so the big savings would have to come from that sort of service denial, which again, is not constitutional.

Hmm? The steal segwit coins senario would work as follows:

1. Person A does a segwit transaction and sends coins to the anyone-can-spend output on the main chain. These coins aren't really "anyone can spend" because segwit stops invalid transactions.

2. The transaction gets replayed on the BCC chain. Segwit transactions work by sending via the anyone can spend output, but since segwit is not activated on BCC, the thefts aren't blocked, and any-can-spend really DOES mean anyone-can-spend instead of meaning segwit.

Or am I misinterpreting how it works?

I thought that segwit uses the anyone-can-spend output in order to be backwards compatible. That means that legacy nodes, or unupgraded nodes that don't have segwit, are perfectly fine will "theft" transactions.

A legacy fork, that does not have segwit activated, would thus be able to replay segwit transactions, but instead of being segwit transactions they would just be normal, anyone can spend transactions that can be stolen.

Anyways, yeah it is adversarial development.

But the other side was planning on doing the same kind of stuff, with User Activated Soft Fork, and POW changes. User activated soft fork threatens the other side with theft by doing a Wipeout of the other chain.

This stuff could have been solved much earlier if Core just compromised and merged the 4MB blocksize increase.

I imagine the migrants would get paid by other migrants to build the hypothetical cities. That is the way literally every US city happened after all — well, migrants or their descendants.
It's free, so you can wipe it and install whatever OS you want without paying for a Windows license. And for the manufacturer the benefit is that it's clear that it's barebones, so no support requests for the preinstalled OS.

I don't know why the alternative isn't "ship with empty disk" though. Maybe some weird regulation, or to make it clearer to dealers and customers that it isn't broken, just without an OS?
> Johnson’s successor, Republican $g(Richard Nixon), tried several tactics to bring pressure to the NVA/VC forces to bargain [...]

One such tactic the author fails to mention was the successful effort to undermine Johnson's peace negotations by doing illegal covert dealings with the South Vietnamese through Nixon's underlings. Nixon was undermining the negotiations between the U.S. executive branch and North/South Vietnam when Nixon was still a candidate, encouraging the South to hold out until after the election.

You can read about it and much more in Christopher Hitchens' "The Trial of Henry Kissinger." Regardless of one's opinion of Hitchens, he refers to unclassified documents and many other reputable sources in his section on this.

The only reason I mention it here is because the author has attempted to flesh out an analogy with what I must assume were supposed to be the salient details of each item being compared. To do that and leave out the fact that a presidential candidate undermined the acting president's effort to end the war is quite strange.

Also, I'd be interested to hear the author explain what "regular violations of nearby Laos and Cambodia" actually means.

The easiest way to learn a language is simply to put a child in that environment, an environment where they have no other option but to learn. Granted, it's can be immensely stressful, but having been in a similar situation, I can attest that it works.

I grew up in Canada my whole life, but was taken to Taiwan towards the end of my elementary years and enrolled in the normal school system there without so much as knowing the alphabet. Spending 3.5 years there allowed me to pick up the language fluently, at a fluent, accent-less level (reading, writing, speaking, listening). While there I also learned "Taiwanese" at a fluent, accent-less level while visiting produce and night markets.

Now when I interact with Mandarin speakers in Mandarin, they assume I grew up in Asia, and vice versa with English.

On the flip side, many Asian friends who grew up here attended Saturday Chinese schools, and although it helps allow you to communicate on a basic level, most hate learning Mandarin, and thus fight it. Speak with classmates in English the second the teacher isn't hounding them, speak in English during breaks, etc. Many end up not even being capable of conversing

The Nurses Health Study (NHS) [1][2] is considered one of the best sources of long term data on factors affecting health due to its size.

Regarding dietary fat intake and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) [3] following 80K women over 14 years, they failed to find a significant correlation between total fat intake and CHD. The linked summary discusses the relative risks of different fats (limit saturated, and completely avoid trans), but it essentially comes down to calories being replaced by carbohydrates. Note that foods labeled low-fat or fat-free do tend to have more sugar.

Another NHS study following 40K women over 8 years[4] showed only a weak correlation between fat intake and weight gain. The take away again is probably to care more about which fats. Unsaturated fats tend to be healthier than carbohydrates. Saturated fats tend to be more unhealthy, and transfats should be completely avoided.

No. What do you base this on?
It's not obvious that speaking second language better will come out at the expense of English. I grew up bilingual and was at the top of my class for my second language compared to monolingual natives. There are whole countries of bilingual/trilingual people in Europe who speak their main language very well still. I think knowing a second (and later third) language gave me a better understanding of language structure. Same in sports, if you are athletic, you will have easier time picking up new sports.
The entire point of relational algebra was also to reduce coupling... let's couple them!

Even if you restrict yourself to young males then immigrants have a disproportionate share in crime at least in Germany, actually immigrants in Germany commited ~40% of all crimes in 2015, with a rapid increase in the last few years. It is also pretty obvious on the street level: drugs for example are primarily sold by immigrant gangs, for example africans with turkish bosses.

>One seemingly simple policy could make the world twice as rich as it is: open borders.

In this utopian paradise the author describes is he willfully ignoring the fact that different cultures exist? Not all cultures are equal, no matter what the current narrative tells you. This is a terrible, empty article.

>If lots of people migrated from war-torn Syria, gangster-plagued Guatemala or chaotic Congo, would they bring mayhem with them? It is an understandable fear (and one that anti-immigrant politicians play on), but there is little besides conjecture and anecdotal evidence to support it.

Alright now this empty article turned insidious.
Thank you for referencing economic policy as a feedback loop. Once you take that concept for granted, it's much easier to analyze what exactly is wrong with the Federal Reserve's policy (of which Bitcoin et al are a direct reaction to).

In a technological economy, we would expect to see prices for real goods continually dropping, as decreasing prices are the expected result of market optimization. However, the Federal Reserve closes the feedback loop for consumers but injecting money into the financial sector. Thus to make the CPI constantly rise, everything that is tied to the financial sector (housing, cars, healthcare) shoots through the roof. And this isn't even just a direct handout to consumers looking to spend, but a bigger debt ballchain that they're expected to pay interest on!

There is really no cause for optimism. The fact is that all the CO2 emitted into the atmosphere stays there for at least ten thousand years, and we are increasing our output of CO2. So actually, the problem is getting much worse and is likely to remain bad for many thousands of years.

It is entirely possible to destroy the fragile earth, and humans are doing exactly that. There is no reason that it has to have a happy ending.
Kind of.

You are correct that segwit2X is a hard fork, and therefore the other side could potentially stop it from happening.

But the thing is that it is already established that it is possible to do a blocksize increase via a soft fork. Segwit itself is literally a blocksize soft fork.

So if the hard fork fails, the big blockers could instead just blocksize soft fork instead of hard fork.

The war won't be over if segwit2X fails. That is the beginning, not the end, of the real Bitcoin civil war that will happen.
All that money measures is the ability to entice someone else. It does not measure wellbeing.

When it comes to migration, no one ever talks about the consequences of moving from a high context to a low context culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-_and_low-context_cultures

Aladair Macintyre: "Consider what it is to share a culture. It is to share schemata which are at one and the same time constitutive of and normative for intelligible action by myself and are also means for my interpretations of the actions of others" https://toutcequimonte.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/macintyre...

Low context cultures are more atomized and legalistic. Free migration is one of major the things that justifies the national security state powers... which ironically these days in the west there is no sense of a nation outside of the state. There is a weakness in that notion because the internet has weakened the state's ability to integrate minorities because those people can live mentally in their homelands.

Aristotle on immigration: "Another cause of revolution is difference of races which do not at once acquire a common spirit; for a state is not the growth of a day, any more than it grows out of a multitude brought together by accident. Hence the reception of strangers in colonies, either at the time of their foundation or afterwards, has generally produced revolution;"

Aquinas on immigration: "Thirdly, when any foreigners wished to be admitted entirely to their fellowship and mode of worship. With regard to these a certain order was observed. For they were not at once admitted to citizenship: just as it was law with some nations that no one was deemed a citizen except after two or three generations, as the Philosopher says (Polit. iii, 1). The reason for this was that if foreigners were allowed to meddle with the affairs of a nation as soon as they settled down in its midst, many dangers might occur, since the foreigners not yet having the common good firmly at heart might attempt something hurtful to the people."

I have a strong feeling that people of a certain age (say, born in the 70s) associate this kind of design with oldness, while younger generations have had little to no contact with it except in retro inspired modern design.

So, paradoxically perhaps, the older you are the older this kind of design looks. I'm of the age where it reminds me of old magazines and ads and stuff, so I see where you're coming from. But, I've also noticed that this kind of design has seen a massive resurgence in many areas of design. Mid-century modern furniture, interior design, etc. is all the rage these days. Many very modern companies and projects (the already mentioned Atom project being an obvious one) are using these kinds of design elements. Atomic and space iconography, subdued warm solid colors, non-traditional quirky (but simple and still quite readable) typefaces, etc.

Many CTOs, CIOs, C*Os, VP of product, etc. ask at least some of their developers which platforms they prefer. Most people in those positions won't admit they don't know the latest tech, but they do look to the people working for them. This billboard taps into that and establishes authority, so I don't think it's worth ripping on.
