I would, at the interest rate at which new money is being printed. It would be a better investment then keeping it in my savings account, with it's 0.05% interest, that's for sure.

It always surpises me how little people fear nuclear weapons. Given that it takes to launch only one of them to trigger the cascade and that there are some 15,000 of them around the world the scenario seems pretty believable. What's worse, virtually every doomsday scenario ends with nukes burning everyone alive.

Scared of global warning? Here we go: Icebergs melt, the sea level rises. Bangladesh is under water. 100M refugees flood India, Pakistan and China. Recall the political turmoil caused by couple of million refugees in Europe. How would it go if it happens at much larger scale in the area with three nuclear powers? Boom! You are fried meat.

Is economic inequality your nightmare? Are you afraid it can lead to similar outcomes as in 1914? Well, add nuclear weapons to the mix. Inequality causes political instability, political instabiliy ends up with nuclear weapons in the hands of weird people. Kaboom! There goes breathable atmosphere.

Nanotechnology eating the world? Antibiotic-resistant supergerms? Out-of-control artificial intelligence? Whatever your nightmare scenario is it always ends the same way. Catastrophe leads to chaos. Chaos leads to loss of control of nukes. One is lauched. All other follow automatically. Adieu, cruel world.

Now, this is a genuine question: How come that people, even intelligent people, like those on HN, are not scared shitless?
What does it matter if somebody genuinely holds heinous views? So long as they are willing to discuss things logically, cool-headedly, and coherently --- I'd be happy to discuss anything with anybody. In making this distinction, it seems you are implicitly providing evidence of argument you're replying against. Today there is an increasing tendency of labeling people a certain way and then using that as a justification to completely avoid any and all discussion.

I wish people could imagine others doing this in a similar situation. For instance in most Mideastern nations apostasy and heresy/blasphemy are still crimes. In a number of nations they're among the most grievous of crimes imaginable, carrying the death penalty. And the majority of people support this. Can you imagine how ridiculous it is that many of these people would thusly refuse to even consider discussing the possibility that these acts ought not be criminalized, if they felt the person discussing it genuinely believed that? After all the person suggesting such thing must be some sort of subhuman deviant incapable of basic moral and ethical comprehension.

We're doing the exact same thing. And the only reason it seems less ridiculous is because of our cultural values. To believe that all of our beliefs that are taboo to go against are somehow objectively true and just is, in my opinion, the height of arrogance. Even if, somehow, it is true - it certainly will not always be. And we risk ending up in this same sort of silly cycle these countries are left in where religion holds them back, yet it is simultaneously impossible for them to ever actually discuss such a thing as words would be met with sticks and stones. And that behavior is something that I think, more than any other, is the epitome of cultural regression.
Phones beat the PC.
Right. And the commenter that you're replying to coincidentally left the next paragraph off of the WaPo article:

> The paper referenced by Alito drew on data from the 1970s through the 1990s. At that point, the impact of gerrymandering was, in fact, relatively small. I have since extended the analysis with more recent data, and the results indicate that the effect of gerrymandering is now much larger. In fact, the size and scale of partisan gerrymandering has accelerated rapidly in just the last two redistricting cycles, as voters have become more committed to their parties and the tools for drawing gerrymanders have become more sophisticated.

> The biggest unmet need is housing, and in most areas that is definitely supply constrained.

Outside of places like San Francisco (urban areas with strong political resistance to redevelopment and geography which limits nearby alternatives), that's a tolerable approximation of truth only over very short terms, as increases market clearing costs for housing spur investment and (re)development elsewhere.

This is a video of a crash _test_. Personally, I'm not sure TDD is necessarily the answer but even with typed code you should still have tests. You just don't need tests for things covered by the type system.

Of course, it also depends on what the software is being used for. If I create a script for automating something just for me, I don't see any reason to add repeatable tests.

There is a lot of discussion about GPGPU compute around here (between BTC Mining, High-performance Computing, Video Card Discussions, and Supercomputing topics...), but I thought it'd be a good idea to make a link to the low-level machine code architecture of one of these modern GPUs.

AMD Vega is AMD's newest video card, although it mostly works the same as AMD's previous "GCN" cards. The Vega ISA linked here is very similar to the GCN documentation AMD has published in previous years, except its been updated to include a slightly new format and includes the new instructions associated with the new graphics card.

The "CUDA" equivalent for NVidia is the NVidia PTX instruction set, but I personally haven't looked through that yet myself. In any case, an understanding of how the GPGPU works can give enlightenment to why GPUs are so good at certain tasks but bad at other tasks.

With regards to this "Vega" Instruction Set Reference, I recommend that beginners skim through the first 4 chapters, which are easier to read than you'd expect. This will give a good overview of how the GCN architecture is designed to work.
> Statements like that, while powerful are dangerous as they turn into baseball bats for people to hit each other with.

I love that analogy.

I see it again and again with so many of the "classics" - phrases like "premature optimization is the root of all evil" and "adding manpower to a late software project only makes it later". Sure, these statements are right more often than not, but the zealousness with which they are often applied leads to an enormous amount of mistakes.

There ARE cases in which optimizations aren't premature. System architecture is all about designing a system for optimal performance in some area or another. And in some cases, bringing in more people to a late project can speed things up.
Speak for yourself, I care deeply about the less fortunate - I just don't think that the social safety net is well designed or cost effective and I think pouring more money into it will just incentivize preying on the people caught in the net.

I think there are solid ways to help people but that usually means investment in them, rather than increased dependence on the system. I'd gladly chip in for this lady to get a solar panel and battery, or a waterless toilet, or microhouse, or access to cheaper fuel.

There's some pro-liberty stuff that would be great for the working poor:

* less emissions laws on vehicles - it'd be cheaper to make fuel efficient vehicles at the expense of some NOX emissions

* fewer zoning laws - it'd make micro housing more accessible

* fewer renewable energy laws / less protectionism on solar - make off-grid systems more appealing

A $10k investment in this lady's life would dramatically alter it. It would give her a toilet, better housing, and energy.

Conversely, giving her an extra $100 or so per month might just go to beer and cigs so she can deal with how crappy her life is and doesn't really give her enough to get ahead.

And that line about her brother having a quadruple bypass is icing on the cake. How much do you think we spent on that? 120k? We should keep the expenditures the same but give people a choice on how to spend it. Maybe the brother would have rolled the dice with Indian quality of care (i.e a 10k surgery) and split the savings with him - give him 50k cash for saving public money.
> unlike certain countries that heavily fund culture in rural areas so that perpetually unemployed people have [places] to spend their time at productively

Could you cite examples of what countries these are who pursue these policies for the stated objective of giving poor people things to do while not working? I've never heard of this as a policy objective before for subsidizing libraries and "culture", and I am very curious about how well it works.

Just giving them stock or options doesn't really change things. Stock that vested over a 20 year period might be an incentive to look further down the line, but remember "look out for yourself first" and "be loyal to yourself not the company because the company isn't loyal to you?" All of that applies to CEOs as well.
Yep, that looks like a good approach.

I don't think you're understanding the calculation correctly. If a district election is 75-25, then the wasted votes is 24 (75 minus the 51 required to win). I believe the computation of net wasted votes comes from looking across several districts.

Here's an example from another article:

>Suppose, for example, that a state has five districts with 100 voters each, and two parties, Party A and Party B. Suppose also that Party A wins four of the seats 53 to 47, and Party B wins one of them 85 to 15. Then in each of the four seats that Party A wins, it has 2 surplus votes (53 minus the 51 needed to win), and Party B has 47 lost votes. And in the lone district that Party A loses, it has 15 lost votes, and Party B has 34 surplus votes (85 minus the 51 needed to win). In sum, Party A wastes 23 votes and Party B wastes 222 votes. Subtracting one figure from the other and dividing by the 500 votes cast produces an efficiency gap of 40 percent in Party A’s favor.

It's not just about the look, it's about the feel.

From looking at the "gallery app" on android:

Flutter's input-text has their own custom mark text handler - no double tap, long press opens a custom menu that is missing native options (Such as translate text).

Changing the font size in the OS does nothing in the app.

Clicking on buttons doesn't make a tap sound if the "sound on tap" option is set.

I'm guessing no accessibility support - or very poor one.

There's probably many more tiny issues that customer's will complain about when you a product is shipped to production that will make it clear that this isn't a native app.
In the context being discussed, computers are involved and are the ones making the decisions.

I'm using Nightly (v58a) and you can customize the UI a lot more than in the current release (v56).

You can move back/forward and refresh, auto-hide certain buttons like downloads, add items to the "overflow" menu, toggle full/compact mode, toggle title bar, toggle a "grab" space...there are a lot of options.

They've also added proper support for light and dark icons for plugins. So now buttons like 1Password don't stand out with a dark theme.

To me it feels like a return to the level of customization I'd gotten used to in older versions of Firefox. And FWIW, this is what mine looks like: https://i.imgur.com/seJZeg6.png
Disability payments are also based on how much you've paid into Social Security. For example, if I were to go on disability tomorrow, I would receive about $1,800 a month, due to the payments I've made into the system (I just checked my Social Security account the other day).

So the people who receive low disability payments are mostly people who have never had a job, or have not paid much into Social Security. I believe the floor for disability is $750 a month. Which isn't really okay, but many people on disability make enough to live on, so poverty is not an issue for all recipients of disability.
> What does it matter if somebody genuinely holds heinous views? So long as they are willing to discuss things logically, cool-headedly, and coherently --- I'd be happy to discuss anything with anybody.

Sadly that's not how the world works. People end up on lists for discussing "anything" or having "any" heinous views, and sometimes have their lives via this. And so far as I can see, the vast majority are okay with this.
It's a strange feature of an economic system where the incentives require that successful participants blow themselves up. It requires that new=good and old=bad.
> Trump (and conservatives) aren't going to do a thing for these people, but at least they mentioned them.

One of Trump's campaign promises was to cut back environmental and business regulations and get the coal industry rolling again. He actually did pull out of the Paris climate accord.

Is this the right approach? Will Trump's actions help these communities? I'm not sure. But it's simply not true that he's doing nothing about the issue.
>> perfectly reasonable thing to say [calling them ignorant or stupid]

Of course your rephrasing is also quite the distortion. Here's the original:

>> say things about a person suggesting they are ignorant or stupid

[my emphasis]

Saying something about a person "suggesting" they are ignorant or stupid is, in terms of polite interaction, radically different from "calling them ignorant or stupid". In fact, merely suggesting such things instead of saying them directly in the face of actual ignorance or stupidity is what one would consider polite but truthful. Going beyond that and avoiding anything that could suggest such an interpretation would be untruthful and a disservice to those asking questions. And IMHO much ruder than the unvarnished truth.

Also, the former ("suggesting") could be almost anything, for example a simple RTFM could be construed as suggesting someone is ignorant or stupid, no matter how politely you express it, but is also a perfectly fine thing to say. Directly calling someone stupid because they didn't RTFM would be quite different, and definitely more in the direction of rude and possible insulting (but still nowhere near harassment or bullying).

I appreciate the answer despite the down votes you have received. It seems we are talking about questions that have a false premise as welfare programs do not eliminate a fathers requirement to pay child support if I am understanding you correctly. That seems to have less to do with bigotry specifically and more to do with a poor understanding of a situation.
As an aside: The fact that we're talking about buying licenses for something plus all its dependencies, recursively, in the context of node.js is hilarious to me.
Because there's no way for the debugger to only break on uncaught exceptions, and you don't usually want to break on caught exceptions. Various frameworks (most infamously CoreData) use caught exceptions internally as a control flow tool.

The bigotry is not the disdain for laziness, which is just plain nastiness and a fundamental lack of empathy and human understanding. The bigotry comes first, in the perception of laziness itself. Who is perceived to be lazy? Hard working working-class whites, or lazy working-class blacks living on the dole?

I view smoking as a kind of break from life. It has a calming effect. Many people smoked during my deployments to Iraq for the same reason - it calms you and allows a simple break otherwise not found. I don't smoke as the smell gives me a terrible headache but I understand the reasoning - particularly when life is hard.
What you are saying is true. However, it is probably hard to find a real example of being to divide a state (e.g.) into X groups that all have that 75-25 mix. Normally, the city vs country or ethnic groupings will leave certain areas in opposite mixes.

The gerrymandering that usually happens is that the group in charge wants to win 3/4 of the X seats at a small percentage like 60-40 and lose 1/4 of the X seats by a huge margin like 90-10. This would give them a huge seat advantage since they own most of the seats. In this case, the gap would be huge proving deliberate gerrymandering.

But why consider geometry itself to be important? Isn't geometry a mere proxy for something else that's desirable?

My own suspicion is this: that districting is an act of partitioning the social graph. The weights of this graph are not necessarily "who socializes with who" but rather "to what extent do these people share common interests". It is not necessarily the case that regions characterized by people of common interests will be shaped in ways that we can express easy geometric criteria for.
