Because the goal of mass immigration of unskilled workers isn't what's best for the country, its to bring in people who will be reliant on the government and thus always vote for more government, thus further consolidating power. Also has the benefit of driving wages down resulting in more natives being reliant on government.

If we really needed more workers why wouldn't we incentivize our own citizens to have kids instead of spending that money on refugees and immigrants?
Nothing in economic history has ever indicated that economics is equilibrium seeking. Capitalism is all about growth and equilibrium is stagnation.

Poverty is a problem. But is inequality bad? It doesn't bother me that when billionaires have private jets and I don't. I'm not rich, but I can live comfortably, especially if you look at history. The average american has at least one air conditioned car. I'm sure that would make the pharaoh of ancient egypt jealous. He would call inequality on us.
I was working in visual effects where we were doing 9 to 11 hours per day of work at a desk. Nearly everyone ending up buying their own varidesk (varidesk.com) I can't recommend them highly enough, especially if you work at an office where you are provided a regular desk. Varidesks just sit on top of your regular desk. I liked using a standing desk so much, I bought a Geek Desk for home use. geekdesk.com If you get one, be sure to get a standing desk floor mat as well.

Volvo already have this with auto brake and pedestrian protection:

Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection is activated in situations where the driver should have started braking earlier, which is why it cannot help the driver in every situation.Collision Warning with Auto Brake & Pedestrian Detection is designed to be activated as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary intervention

I don't mind paying Google say ₹50 a month for the ability to reach a customer service agent when things go wrong. And one who's actually empowered to fix things, not a mindless drone.

Just because it's a consumer (rather than business) account doesn't mean we shouldn't have customer service, if we're willing to pay for it. There's no reason Google can't cater to us while also providing no-service free products.

I think you're projecting western values on Japan.

While we may see "dehumanization" they don't. Where you see a pornography fetish, they see it as an extension of their sexuality. For them it's progress. They have valued tradition and will continue to do so. It's not an ephemeral value they hold.

Germany found a different path. It does not necessarily mean it's the one true path.

And, long term, all societies will face the same issues. Some sooner, some much later --but face it they will.
Yes? The fruitful gains of production don't go anywhere in that scenario. Fire the redundant, replace them with robots, give them a UBI, a library, and a public education that drives them towards passions rather than towards being a good factory drone.
This is an opinion piece backed up with practically no information whatsoever.

If you want to know about immigration policy in Japan, you need look no further Japan's ministry of foreign affairs website. For example, here are the categories where you can get a long term visa [0]

You will notice there is a points system [1]. You need 70 points to get in. A degree gives you 10 points. A salary of ~$100K gives you 40 points. Being under 30 gives you 15 points. Having 5 years of experience gives you 10 points. N1 on JLTP gives you 15 points.

I mean, it's ridiculous. And this is a 5 year visa with relaxed permanent residence requirements, ability to sponsor your parents, ability to work in any field (even jobs that aren't related to your skill set!!!). The list goes on!

And if by some incredibly unfortunate circumstance you can't qualify for that, there are still over 10 categories where you basically only need a relevant university degree and a job offer for a 3 year visa.

And if that isn't enough, you can start a company in Japan with about ~$50K and sponsor a business visa for yourself.

My wife is Japanese and I'm here on a spousal visa. The application process took 1 week and was free. I am also eligible for relaxed permanent residence status.

Seriously, compare this to your home country and then come back and tell me that Japan doesn't want immigration.

Now if you want to know why Japan doesn't have a lot of immigration, it's because it is difficult for foreigners to live here if they can't speak Japanese and/or they can't accept Japanese culture. But as far as the government is concerned, the red carpet has been rolled out for a long time. If you have an established company in many foreign countries and wish to open a branch office in Japan (so that you can transfer people here), the government will even give you free assistance!

Pressure sensors connect to tires to do their job but usually stay with wheels. While not common it's certainly both possible and legal (and sometimes happens) to switch wheels to a different car.
I posted part, which I guess is missing the whole context in the article. That line is attached to redundant power, communications, and other problems that happened after the collision.

The author of the article is not exactly inexperienced in these matters.
The promise of a post industrial society was always that western countries would be able to have smaller families with more highly educated children who were more productive and innovative. Future generations could reduce resource usage but improve the standard of living given there continued scientific and educational progress.

Somewhere along the like that seems to have been thrown out the window and the idea of a 'consumer economy' took its place. Now we have a model of low education low wage consumers who keep the economy going by buying endless plastic junk. Perpetually distracted with entertainment and unhealthy unsustainable lifestyles.

I think Japan is making a wise choice.
Migration is a significant part of many countries growth. If Australia and New Zealand, for example, did not have such massive migration they would be effectively in serious depression. In both countries migration has added more than 1% to GDP growth for the last 30 years. Merely in recession is kind of surprising as for many other countries with such stagnant or declining population growth (low birthrates and barely any immigration) they would be in a much worse situation.
I guess I was overly specific in hopes of eliciting a specific response. Can you just clarify what you were saying where I quoted you before?
There are several advantages to being a small company. The biggest is you can offer 1-on-1 individualized support. Another big advantage is small companies have less mass and can adapt to customer/market needs quicker.

Sorry. Speed is mentioned but overlooked, because the figures are not mentioned. It should be 2x-8x speed increase in favor of CL. For some people this truly doesn't matter (after all, Ruby is successful and loved), for other applications, it does matter a lot.
Yeah that's my understanding. Destroyers (and really, any modern naval ship) are not designed to slug it out in ship-to-ship artillery duels like WWI battleships. They are there to launch missiles at targets from a safe distance.

As WWII taught us, any surface vessel is essentially a sitting duck when it comes to air power in the form of planes, missiles, or missiles launched from planes. That is even truer today, as surface-to-surface and air-to-surface munitions have become that much more powerful and accurate. Designing a ship to withstand that kind of punishment is just impractical. The Arleigh Burke class can deliver some real destructive power but as always, air superiority is a must.

(This is where I reiterate that I am not particularly knowledgable on this topic; please somebody correct me if needed)
You're right, was at the wrong URL.
> And Japan is arguably paying a steep price for keeping their blood oh-so-pure: it's a society frozen in tradition and fear, with an economy in what is essentially a 20-year recession.

Most of the west has seen the same stagnation, they've just papered over it with immigration. Why would anyone care about economic growth when they are not receiving the benefits of it?

While I wouldn't argue that #4 is wrong, I do think that as one gets more into self-driven learning the internet has become a major boon. Recorded lectures on 2.5-3x playback, lectures at my own (accelerated) pace, a wealth of information...

Granted, this doesn't readily translate to the classroom nor does it fit everyone's learning style.
Paraphrasing from a comment I can't find anymore:

Identity theft is a PR con job. Think about it - the idea that a criminal can "steal your identity" is patently ridiculous. What they actually do is defraud your bank, or a vendor, or the government, by impersonating you. Instead of taking responsibility for being defrauded and paying for effective countermeasures, these institutions try to convince us that when they get defrauded it is somehow our responsibility. Then they sell us the countermeasures.

It's one of the most impressive strategic manipulations of public understanding that I've ever seen.
I don't think it was an out-of-context quote. The author questioned why the (theoretically redundant) power and communications systems were knocked totally offline, which seems like a very fair question, and one of great importance. But I read it as a separate question from the issue of why the cargo ship was able to damage the Fitzgerald.
Wow. I wonder what economic factors are at play here.

Is this actually the case? They saw the collision coming but were forbidden to do anything? Or are you just engaging in conjecture?

Because if that is actually the case then it reminds me of NASA and Challenger.
I just checked my email again, and the subscription expiration they quoted me on my annual subscription wasn't extended either (it's exactly the 12 months I'd paid for). I assume it's a typo and that they mean it's that date + 60 days.

But you're right, I wouldn't rely on it though...
I've been debating on the internet since I was 13 - I know when someone is worth arguing with, and when they refuse to see the structural issues in play.
> the would-be-dividend is incorporated into the price of the share

This is right where we started. I'm not actually going to get the dividend, and neither will anyone else, so why would I or anyone I might sell it to pay more for that stock than I would otherwise?
That's the intent? A handful of us in my office have guns. The novelty wears off once you get sick of retrieving the ammunition. This is why my comment was only partly in jest.

My personal experience with getting away from my desk and walking more was spurred on from the discomfort of my DIY standing desk that I made (instructions for the desk are found at [0] and are not my own) and to quit smoking. I sustituted cigarettes with vaping and it's done more for my health and encouraging regular movement than I expected or intended.

YMMV of course, I live in a sub-tropical city in Australia and I'm fortunate enough to have a gorgreous river bank [1] and Botanical gardens at my offices offices front door [1]. You'd be less inclined to be outside in Middlesbrough in the UK where I am from or say, Seattle.

I mean, you realize that penny stocks are much the same. People don't care much about the validity of the underlying business. They want to make money. Often the penny stock (or alt coin) has solid enough technical fundamentals , to merit an investment. Don't tell us it's risky, we fucking know. Don't tell us we're dumb for investing in something we know nothing about -- we know we are gambling and likely going to lose. There are too many millionaires be minted in this crypto world to be too dismissive of it.
Looking at ECL, it doesn't seem to have a bare metal port? Or am I missing something? I take it "embedded" in this case means "links with your C code", not "runs on bare metal micro-controller."
I feel like this is a problem everywhere. I notice it every day in front-end development. Library/tools documentation almost always open with a "quick start guide", completely skipping over the question of "why". It then goes on to launch into step by step tutorials that are 90% code examples.

Code is nice, but it's hardly the whole story. Very few people seem to be able to explain the "why" behind the solution they're pushing on you. There's so much great code out there that is totally useless because of bad docs, or worse, is constantly mis-used by the community at large because nobody ever stops to ask "why".
A consumer electronics company changing market segments is different than a consumer electronics company that wants to enter the automotive industry.

Not going to pile on the Avalon comment.

But the LS430s aren't really comparable to the current gen Toyota safety systems. The LS430s have dynamic cruise control but they won't bring the car to a complete stop, the dynamic cruise control in the 01-03s is a little weird (and I think it has some reliability problems). And the dynamic cruise control is bundled with the Ultra Luxury package which has a lot of stuff to break (an extra A/C unit for the rear, air suspension, and double thick glass that can fog internally if it cracks).

The Modern Luxury trim cars have the dynamic cruise control without the air suspension, a/c unit, and a few other gizmos but they're really rare.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it, but the 01-03 LS430 is probably the best used car value in America. You can get a decent one for 5k (they'll ask for 7k but tell them to pound sand) and they're unbelievably nice. They're not Avalons, but they drive like every Toyota ever just with more poise and fluidity.
I felt the same way about Bitcoin on HN back in 2012 (check my account age).
80% of the U.S. population lives in urban areas of at least 2500 people, and 71% live in places of 50,000 or more[1]. So most people don't need to drive 20 miles to reach town.

You're right that Silicon Valley lives in a cocoon, but more than a few occasions where I thought a SV idea or trend was stupid, unaffordable, and unneeded, it turned out that a few years later the entire world had adopted it. I remember thinking who the hell needs a smartphone and who'd pay for that. Then 6 or 7 years later I saw beggars in a third-world country with smartphones. Beggars.

I'm not ready to say that autonomous cars and ride sharing will be the norm in 5 years, but just because there are poor and rural people in middle America doesn't mean it won't happen.

Here's an easy way to be more wrong:

The LS430 is basically a Toyota Cavalier.

Or - the LS430 is basically a Toyota Century.

From thescribe's parallel comment it sounds like you're describing doctests which is a built in feature in Elixir, and I believe in Python also. Many languages have doctest libraries available, though not many support it being part of canonical documentation... I've been meaning to try the ruby-rspec doctest library https://github.com/doctest/doctest-rspec though there's several others besides that one
Tax the wealthy and use that money to invest in infrastructure, education, and economic growth across the entire country, not just the big cities. Combine that with limiting trade with countries that have abysmal minimum wages and standard of living, and you'd have a fantastic recipe for economic growth for the lower and middle classes.

Luck is always involved, but by increasing opportunities while giving workers more leverage, it is definitely doable.
One can argue that Aragon and similar projects are Build-An-ICO tokens
Interesting. I guess it depends on your definition of "serious amount of data". Our entire accounting system is built on Google Sheets, including about ten thousand transactions in four currencies per financial year. The system summarises by country and cost centre, and has sheets that provide our current profit and loss, and nice things like all the fields in each of the tax forms we have to complete.

OK, we are a small organisation, but I'm happy to recommend Google Sheets to anyone but power users. If you are crunching a lot more data than this, then I certainly agree that using a browser-based spreadsheet is not optimal.
I think you might be a bit off here on the extent to which the average driver will be needing gasoline.

Tesla's have less than 10% battery degradation after 8 years so far.

What will happen is people will buy an electric car as a second car. They'll get comfortable charging every night and then buy a Chevy volt like car that usually won't need gas but can range extender as needed. A large portion of those users will realize you don't even need the range extender most of the time.
I added the second part about the random sample later to the comment when I moved the proposal already out of my short term memory. I hope they use the data from their initial study to test whether the opt-out group actually is different from the group they already get data from.
I'll also contend this is a disturbing, terrible idea.

I design optimization algorithms and software professionally and the majority of that software is released open source. Now, does my software likely run terribly on some problems that my users give it? Absolutely. That probably costs me business because they get frustrated, give up, and go somewhere else. And, to combat that, I could absolutely engineering my libraries to send anonymized information about their problem structure back to my company. Certainly, it would help me improve my software and algorithms. I also view it as horribly unethical, a breach of my customers trust, and an unacceptable course of action. Look, I want my software to work well for everyone, but it's part of my job to figure out when things don't well and fix that beyond scraping information about my customers uses automatically.

I contend this is a terrible idea and very much would like Mozilla to abandon it.
It is an official part of the language, and is automatically part of the compiled docs, which are also an official part of the language! https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/mix-otp/docs-tests-a...
I don't know jack about designing armor, but it seems to me that the problems of supersonic missiles and collisions with massive objects present different challenges.

Perhaps it's similar to the way that football pads don't stop bullets and yet bulletproof kevlar vests don't protect you from 300-pound football players?

Regardless, I know that the Arleigh Burke class has a number of antimissile countermeasures.

But the bottom line is: I really don't know of any vehicle (air, surface, underwater, ground, space, whatever) designed to survive supersonic missiles.

I mean, even massive WWII-era battleships were helpless against smaller munitions like 500-pound bombs dropped from planes. Air superiority: either you have it, or your ships are screwed.
