The Reapportionment Act of 1929[0] is the culprit for this problem. Up until then, the size of the house grew with the population of the country.

It was one of a series of early 20th century foundational changes to American government that opened us up for the legalized corruption we're suffering from now.

The 17th amendment[1] is another, which allowed for the direct election (and thus hyper politicization) of Senators.

With 50 states, the country would still have 100 senators, but special interest groups would have to write checks to thousands of state assembly members to influence the election of Senators, rather than just writing a few dozen to influence the Senators directly.

Not sure why nobody want to admit that these children are male at birth. They have a Y chromosome. One out of all of the many biological triggers due to a Y chromosome happens to not trigger until puberty time. Scientifically, what about this makes the children female beforehand? Did they possess developing female genitalia?
So imagine what actually drove them to that.
This is what A/B testing does to a popular site. You test for immediate customer engagement but cannot (easily) test long-term customer loyalty. This is why booking.com has become the largest online hotel booking site in several continents. Nevertheless, I think it will eventually be their downfall.
I'm not sure if I follow you. EU citizens have the right to freely access the whole EU territory for work/visit/capital, anything. In fact, that's what the EU is about; freedom to move people or money.
Ha ha. I liked it. You'll need to call your editor the Boyditor.
I didn't watch anyone switch camps, but I watched a lot of people get motivated or demotivated to vote, which has the same effect on the election -- so I saw a lot of people go from "party candidate" to "none" or "none" to "party-candidate".

Considering how close the election was, those kinds of changes seem non-trivial on a national stage, particularly if they're all in a direction that benefits one candidate over another (and likely were the intended ones from PSYOPs campaigns).

Median household income in the U. S. is $56K. In this case, the point stands...kinda.

But you're right, GDP isn't the way to measure, as GDP has been going up more than income. Which means someone is skimming, but that's a different discussion.
Yes, they could have done the same thing with an Android WebView. But the Chrome team is actively working on implementing WebVR (which also want to support many AR use cases) so they already have a native (= higher performance, lower latency, etc) implementation to modify with some smaller changes to use the ARCore API.
It's all about cost. There have been several articles on HN discussing the problem. One in particular (I think it was a study done in Michigan) stated the average citizen in that city would need to pay an extra $7K in taxes just to break even for existing infrastructure. (ie.... all new projects are halted)

EDIT: It was Louisiana and the cost was $8K, here is the study. https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2017/1/9/the-real-reason...
Are there any real people that care about "Merry Christmas", or is "Happy Holidays" just milquetoast corporate speak chosen out of a preference for blandness?
This solution is less scary than it seems. If you're worried about "power", and who has it, just remember that not all power is equivalent, or needs to be held by the state.

For example, states hold a limited power to seize property. I'm pretty sure that no one wants states to have an unlimited power to seize property. The states power to kill is similarly curtailed.

One power that that different levels of the government seem to be expanding more and more, is what I like to call 'Special Consideration'. Whenever a city pours huge amounts of money in the form of bonds and tax breaks into a sports stadium for their local team, that's special consideration; it's a financial transfer for a specific private entity that is not automatically available to other private entities. Special consideration can be hugely hugely profitable for the private entity and incentivizes lobbying.

There are two points to keep in mind. Not all special consideration is bad, and not all forms of corruption fall under special consideration(obviously), but I do think that curtailing government's power to grant favors to individual private actors, and thereby distort the market, would decrease the value of lobbying.

I've always wondered if some of these tactics are kosher and legal. Especially the ones that say 'someone just booked this' or the notifications on ecommerce sites that say 'X bought this in the last hour'. Most of the ecommerce ones are just fake data meant to entice the shopper into buying into urgency.
If self-driving turns out to need a new CPU/GPU/XYZPU to run the software, that's a pretty easy retrofit: take out one board and replace it with a new board of the same physical size. It's the sensors that can't be replaced, because they involve mounting and wiring in a lot of different places.

Chemistry is definitely cheaper to study at a University if you want the lab experience, which I find very important. (Imagine learning how to code in C without a compiler...)

Between chemicals, ventilation hoods, labware, and instruments, you'd probably spend a few million trying to teach yourself chemistry at home.

Like a lot of mechanical contrivences, if you come from a world of digital 'machines' you're tempted to say but F R I C T I O N.. The thing is that clutches, gears, back-chatter, teeth wear, this is all bread-and-butter to mechanical engineers, this stuff has been well known for years. If these people have managed to package things into an assembly which is tractable, repairable, can be scaled, and suits their purpose I say hats (and spare arms, and feet) off to them.

I suspect if you went to the room of clockwork/gears in Musee des arts et metiers in paris, you could find much of this there, but the point is, you might not find all of it, as one composition.

Thats what I love about mecha: its often like rotational lego, you add it in the right combinations and it does stuff.

That's probably true, given that "happy holidays" predates "political correctness" by more than a few decades.

I think this generally happens for two reasons:

2) Some CVT's function with preprogrammed "shift points" for people familiar with conventional transmissions to not feel weird, ruining the main benefit of a CVT

Yeah, they also called indigenous people “savages”. Back in those days stuff like that was still not clear. However, when creating the constitution, they put a lot of thought on the system it should follow. Like I said: direct democracy is a tried and tested method.

Review scores are also a bit offset. I have tried to give the absolute lowest to every metric booking.com gave me to rate and the resulting score was 2.5-ish.
I was thinking about making a browser extension that rescales the values accordingly but I just made a mental note that a score 7 hotel is in fact a score 6.
With this scaling the scores on the lower end gain more as a 3.3 score becomes a 5.
Take this into account if you opt for the lower-middle end.

In case you haven't already used the following, please note that the NSA had an undocumented "backdoor" included which "disables" the ME. (Man, oh man, I wish I was making this stuff up.)

http://blog.ptsecurity.com/2017/08/disabling-intel-me.html

I put quotes around "disables" because the ME is not fully disabled. The blog's analysis does show how it is in a "safe" state, i.e. forced to ignore the outside world very early in its code path. Also, not likely to brick your computer, assuming unscrewing your case and using a SPI flash programmer hasn't already bricked your computer.

Edit: "backdoor" in quotes too.
This is a huge security, privacy and battery-drain nightmare.

Unassociated Wi-Fi chips constantly broadcast their MAC addresses allowing customer targeting and broadcast their previously associated SSIDs, allowing tracking of people when combined with SSID location databases like SkyHook.

Unassociated Bluetooth is also a privacy and security attack surface.

Finally, it's going to drain the already undersized iPhone batteries even more by not putting chips into powersave modes.

Apple smh fail, fail and fail... they really jumped the shark on this one. I hope this changes but I'll be skipping iOS updates for now and will skip future iPhones if this doesn't change, in addition to already skipping future MacBook Pros because of their horrendous unrepairability and unupgradability.

Thank god. I've felt like we've been getting closer to breaching the peak of the hype curve for what I'd probably call 'monadic pure functional programming' i.e. Haskell, Scalaz, etc. It'll have its hardcore advocates forever, of course, but I think we might be finally getting to the point where people realise 'wait this sure is an absurd amount of complexity to represent some fairly simple functions, surely there must be a better way?'.
Makes sense - there's a lot of responsibility that comes with Michelin stars and he wants to be free of it. I guess this is newsworthy because most find the benefits outweigh the downsides. I'm guessing he's got enough acclaim without the stars that it's tilted the scale the other way for him.

You are completely misunderstanding this topic area. We already know how to compute ground truth references based on the real physics. I suggest starting with the book Physically Based Rendering.

The question now is, how close can we get a real time approximation to match unbiased path tracing? The OP's link is a pretty definitive step along this direction. But even if that whole research agenda fails, so long as we keep getting more computation at a cheaper price, even unbiased renderers will become real time.
Hm....This part doesn't look to good for Anthony.

During the hearing, Waymo’s attorneys alleged that Levandowski had taken “thousands of photographs” of company documents displayed on a personal computer to avoid detection while duplicating the materials. At one point, a Waymo lawyer suggested that Uber’s attorneys had 64,000 Levandowski photos in their possession, though Uber said some of those are personal.
I thought this paragraph was the most enlightening:

Chávez was an innovator in how he spent money, but he did little to improve how Venezuela actually makes money. He paid no attention to diversifying the economy or investing in domestic production outside of the oil sector. The country relies on imports for many of its most basic goods and services, include food and medicine.

You could probably put the greatest economic minds in the world in charge of a big country like Venezuela and they would still fail to diversify the economy.

Markets are necessary for successful diversification - avoiding shortages and economic collapses when key industries suffer downturns.

I'd say social democracies in Europe have shown pretty conclusively that the way to fund broad social programs to help the poor and middle class is via taxation of market economies. Let a healthy private sector self-organize the production of the economy, and let taxes pay for social programs.
