That's a little disengenous when we talk about banks, which are creatures of governmental regulation from top to bottom. How much of this capital is "needed" solely because of regulatory requirements?

(Of course governments are quite right to impose requirements on those organizations they're providing backstop funding for. But you can't talk about a "free market" in one aspect of banking in isolation; it isn't and can't be a free market unless you change myriad other aspects of how the banking system works)

Enamel can erode for years and still protect your teeth until suddenly it's worn away and doesn't protect your tooth anymore. I got similar feedback from dentists while not having great hygiene and suddenly in one visit after years and years of "doing great" I had four cavities.

My girlfriend has been bragging in a similar way and I've been trying to warn her to be more careful, and she knows exactly what all I went though (fillings kept falling out, eventually lost the teeth and needed a bridge).
It's not that they never took off (there used to be many, esp in urban places with lots of European immigrants), its that they run counter to the hyper-individualistic American mindset.

Cross-border VAT is the foundation of something called carousel fraud.

The EU changed its cross-border VAT rules a couple of years ago, and they're now insanely complicated and probably unenforceable.

But unfortunately if a company/charity is domiciled in the EU then EU laws apply, even if the person with a controlling interest is domiciled elsewhere.
It means there will be 2 different bitcoins: 1) SegWit Bitcoin and 2) Bitcoin Cash.

The split happened because people have very different ideas on how Bitcoin should scale (transactions per second).

SegWit supporters think that most transactions should happen off the blockchain (in something like Lightning network), which then settle on the chain. They also talk about increasing the block to 2MB (SegWit2X), but I'm not sure that will happen.

Bitcoin Cash instead extends the block size from 1MB to 8MB (and probably more in the future), allowing all of the transactions to exist on the chain.

What it means for the price is not clear, and if someone tells you they know where the price will go, they are just guessing. As we are speaking, Bitcoin price is crashing a bit (currently at $2695). Bitcoin Cash is valued at around $293.

One thing we know for a fact is, if you owned bitcoins prior to the fork, you will get the same amount of SegWit and Cash varieties.

Apartheid was the result of white western settlers screwing and mistreating over the local black population, after the region got colonized.

This is a single country, with its own culture, history and tradition, minding its own affairs.

And blacks were clearly against apartheid and fighting fiercely for decades. Have you talked to many locals in China and found out they were against their regime?

They got those exclusive deals because the EU was still in beta testing. Article 50 was never supposed to happen, only to be invoked if the experiment failed. The U.K. was still running on the beta build while the rest of the EU has moved on to production.

Now that the pound is out expect the EU to have a unified monetary and budget policy. Brexit only strengthens the EU.
Yes, but that's in the UK, I was giving an example of a Dutch non-profit.

I thought it could be stopped at anytime with agreement of all member states. According to Lord Kerr (who devised Article 50):

"It is not irrevocable. You can change your mind while the process is going on.

During that period, if a country were to decide actually we don't want to leave after all, everybody would be very cross about it being a waste of time.

They might try to extract a political price but legally they couldn't insist that you leave."

> There are certain domains for which Elm makes a lot of sense, and others for which it would be the wrong choice.

No argument here!

Elm has this characteristic in common with JavaScript, Java, Scala, C, C++, Python, Ruby, Perl, Haskell, PureScript, Go, Rust... ;)

> It's perfectly valid to admit there are some limitations there which may be too much for some projects.

Absolutely!

I know of one team that specifically switched from Elm to ClojureScript because that made more sense for their project (whose purpose was to stitch together JS libraries on the fly), and I thought they made the right decision. ClojureScript was a better fit for their needs.

I also wouldn't use Elm in situations where a virtual DOM would be problematic, such as making a large-scale rich text editor.

I don't think anyone would disagree with the broad claim that some languages are a better fit for some projects.

> Elm as a language is still in search of its ideal abstractions

Also true of every programming language, except for the abandoned ones. :)

> I don't think the above commenter's claim was any more misleading or vague than your claim.

I'm not sure what claim you think I'm making.

I think I've been pretty consistent about pointing out Elm has led to some great outcomes. I'm not saying things like "Everyone should drop what they're doing and switch to Elm" - that would be absurd.

I responded to an equally absurd claim by giving a counterexample.

Just as it's valid to point out that Elm (being a programming language) has limitations, it's also valid to point out that people's preferences for various programming languages aren't the same thing as universal truths.

If someone wants to say "I tried both Elm and PureScript and preferred the latter," that's great! Everybody is happy with the language they're using. We all win!

If someone wants to say "I switched from Elm to PureScript since nontrivial Elm apps can't exist because abstractions," it's fair for me to demonstrate the absurdity of that claim by pointing out that our 150,000 line Elm app exists.
And I thought the BBC article was bad enough. This is just appalling.

To be clear, my stance is that laws that make it illegal to be homosexual are wrong.

With that said, in your example those people are actively breaking the law and if you're using the internet to break the law today I don't see a lot of problem with the government tracking that back to you. My concern is large scale collection of records of acts which are then turned into crimes/persecuted groups and I think that's what people should primarily concern themselves with when it comes to the present internet privacy debate.
OK, you're right. What I meant with "Hard Brexit" is no deal or a deal that does not include any significant free trade agreement.
> Splitting a company in two [..]

Splitting an organization in two so the non-profit part can enjoy the benefits the law intends to bestow upon a non-profit is exactly what the government wants you to do.

Separate rules for separate kinds of organizations are a lot easier to make than rules for combined organizations. The latter invites loopholes, but to prevent them the government tends to err on the side of 'anti-loopholes' such as the one the Krita Foundation fell into.

This is not even what the government intends, just an unfortunate side effect.
Do you find Discord to perform better than Slack? Any thoughts as to why?

I've used Discord for gaming related purposes on another computer, but it didn't feel... "better" to me. Sluggish at times, but in understandably large rooms with lots of traffic.

I'm mainly curious in your statement as to how Discord performs compared to Slack, and if better, how they achieve "better".
As far as I know, the investigating officer would take a statement from a suspect at the time of arrest. So there's no opportunity for a suspect to "get their story straight."

In fact, these cameras offer the opportunity to verify the statements of officers, witness and suspect against whatever is captured by the cameras, which is a net positive.

Ask HN: Which programming language(s) do you enjoy coding in the most?
I've seen some posts on HN recently about Elm and Delphi, both of them pointing out that they thinks it's fun to code in either of those.
Actually that is exactly what I'd been doing. I recently upgraded to 32 GB of RAM and now the desktop app is usable again, but obviously this is still not even reasonable.
I would say the difference is that you can start small. You can start thinking about functions and data and you can build a large amount of software with the simpler abstractions. I would say this is not specific to Elixir but to functional languages. A good amount of my code is just functions and data. Processes, macros, protocols, etc come only when strictly necessary.
I specifically chose "some" because I have no idea what the split is, and again...I don't presume racism.

Makes sense except I think Tesla themselves will be a big player in 5-7 years. It's not going to be a walkover. Specially since setting up battery manufacturing needs time and expertise they (German corps) don't have.
1. be willing to pay more.(people that get sh*t done know what they're worth)

2. what have they accomplished in the past? (as much as I hate to admit it a lot of those stupid HR questions make sense) problems they ran into. how did they get past it.

me personally I would guide people to the best answer they can give because you're not looking for sales people or executives. So, if they use "we" a lot ask them about their specific accomplishments in that project.

3. make sure their is a training budget(and time) to stay on top of best practices. (ie. maybe the best candidate is you...with training...lol)

> If the containment had held, there would have been no radiation release outside the plant.

This is not how it works. Containment structures prevent the actual core materials from exiting the reactor, since those are heavy metals with high radioactivity and long half lives. The latest reports suggest that the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) in Unit 2 is likely breached, but this is inside the primary containment vessel (PCV).

In both the Three Mile Island and Fukushima incidents, radioactive steam was vented to the atmosphere. Additionally at Fukushima a breached pressure vessel probably leaked radioactive water into the primary containment vessel. This water was pumped out (into spent fuel storage, I think). I've also heard concerns that the spent fuel pools were feared to be leaking into the ocean, but so far as I know that hasn't happened enough to cause alarm.

The radiation inside the containment structure where the Unit 2 RPV breached is really high, "dead in a couple hours" levels. Outside the reactor buildings (the red dots on the map in your second link) background radiation levels didn't rise any higher than the natural background radiation in parts of Kerala, India, and in several other places around the world. Much higher than normal for Japan, sure, but nothing dangerous. Those levels can be explained by the Iodine and Cesium isotopes in the vented steam.

Calling these happenings a "containment failure" is disingenuous at best. The 50-year-old containment structures at Fukushima appear to have done exactly the job they were designed to do, after a magnitude 9 earthquake no less.
> First, pointing out that there are harms and she's aware of them, despite not addressing them, because she refuses to disclose her communications.

Though I'm skeptical of how much a 3m42s interview can be said to represent the entirety of her views, I'd say she alludes to the harms by referring to such access as "warranted". That is, authorisation is restricted [because of the costs of unrestricted access].

> Second, that the spying will be used asymmetrically - you, dear citizen, will have all your communications recorded, stored indefinitely, and subject to discovery when some prosecutor or large corporation decides to do away with you.

This law would apply to politicians too, right? If they're suspected of a crime, a warrant could be issued for their communication details.

> But try and find out which corporations are sponsoring which politicians, who owns them, and what kind of deals those politicians are making in your name, and you'll meet a stone wall of silence - just like in the TTIP negotiations.

As mentioned, if those are crimes I expect them to be investigated similarly.

One important point to be careful about are replay attacks. If you decide to spend your coins on the Bitcoin Cash, you're essentially broadcasting a transaction signed with your private key, which could be used to move your coins on the other Bitcoin SegWith chain.

So if you spend coins on one chain, it may automatically occur also on the other chain.

I'd love to be able to simply buy clothes with sizing that is 100% consistent and doesn't vary from year to year.

Several times I've ordered what I thought was an identical product to something I already own, only to find the fit is slightly different. I'm not sure whether this is due to manufacturing inconsistencies or the style being updated, but it's so frustrating.

I would like to be able to know that I am (say) t-shirt size L and style 'xyz' and body length '3' (or whatever information is needed) and know that I could keep on ordering different products with that same spec forever, and they'd all fit the same. No more wondering whether 'slim fit' means the same thing as it did last year or whatever.

Same with shoes. I've bought running shoes in the same size from the same manufacturer and they've been a totally different fit.

If a company did this and the clothes were actually nice as well, I'd probably be a customer for life.
I'm not sure I buy that. Regulation on "how to run your business" is somewhat different from "where to run your business" and "how much to charge for your business", or for that matter "here's some free money to help you keep profits higher than they would be otherwise".

There is plenty of regulation in computer monitor design and construction by way of FCC requirements, emissions standards, and e-waste recycling rules. Would you argue that the computer monitor market is not free as a result?

Without regulation on fractional-reserve banking, you would have a serious principal-agent problem that, if anything, would make the market for banking less free if left uncontrolled. I see no analogous argument for the government using taxpayer money to buffer major banks' operating expenses.
What is the basis for that prediction?

Cavities are not the problem. Abscesses and infections are the problem.

An untreated abscess can have very severe consequences, up to and including death from sepsis.

Implants need to be kept clean, and the risk of infection is slightly higher than with normal teeth. But they rarely become a bacterial reservoir - which isn't a rare consequence for the roots of normal teeth when they're not kept as least as clean.

ok ok, perhaps this was a bad example of being in a situation which is legal but illegal adjacent, because it seems in some cases it is illegal to sleep in your car while drunk, or even being near your car while drunk. but the crux of my argument remains valid. in those cases you've broken the law (past tense) because in this case those scenarios are considered a breach of the law.

My point remains that the role of government is to pass laws, and the role of law enforcement is to enforce those laws by capturing people who break the law. NOT to arrest people who "might" break the law, because that group contains everyone.
