The engine development from 80's/90's (e.g. F404) to the modern variants (F414) basically allows 20% more thrust at the same size/weight of engine. Supercruise isn't that exotic now in the military realm. Quite a few modern fighters have supercruise now that the most modern engines support it.

Of course, supercruising in a fantastically expensive small fighter is not the same as supercruising in an airliner. And a military fighter being sold as "cheap to operate" such as the Gripen E is not the same thing as being able to sell seats in it at commercial prices. 75% less sounds like a LOT, but I'm not sure how much of the Concordes prices consisted of fuel, and how much consisted of other things (expensive development, expensive maintenance?)

Sure you can and they are are much faster rate. England had growthof 1.3% during the industrial recolution. That was rapid growth back then. China has been doing 10% for many years.

Hi, Many banks support bulk transfers only over NEFT and thus it's limiting them to process your payouts on weekends.

We send out most of our payouts over IMPS and can be used 24x7. IMPS has couple of restrictions though (a) We don't have as many banks as we have on NEFT network [List is here: https://www.npci.org.in/links-imps-members] (b) single transaction can't be more than Rs. 200,000 (however, you can totally send multiple IMPS transfers to the same account).

Checkout the banks at IMPS network. Do get in touch with us at care@gocashfree.com, if majority of your beneficiary accounts belong to those banks. Last we checked, most of the major banks (ICIC, HDFC, AXIS, SBI, YES, Kotak, RBL, BOI etc) are present.

Venetian here, let me state a few facts about this:

1) The referendum in Veneto was supported by the Venetian section of all major parties, across all the political spectrum.

2) In Italy five regions have a far greater degree of autonomy for historical reasons. Many Comuni (city councils) voted to leave Veneto to join nearby Trentino Alto-Adige just for this far greater autonomy. The proponents of the referendum would like to see more federalism in Italy, e.g. following the German model.

3) Italy is very divided from an economical point of view. Veneto and Lombardy may be easily compared to the richest German industrial districts, whereas the South's economy is not so different from Greece. Taxation in Italy is very high, and a lot of money gets redistributed from the rich North to the poorer South. To make a long story short each citizen from Veneto gives about 5000€ per year to each citizen in the South. Edit: see noisymemories's comment below, often the money is lost in a maze of entities and inefficiency.

I perfectly acknowledge a country should redistribute wealth, but many perceive that this redistribution is too high and unfair, and call for a less centralized Italy.

4) Italy is a young country, with 150 years of history, whereas Veneto has millenium-long story as the Serenissima Republic. The Venetian language is widespread alongside Italian, and many (again, across all political spectrum) have stronger ties to the Venetian heritage rather than to the Italian heritage.

The biggest horrors of mankind coincide with strong power monopolies, most obvious in dictatorships in big nation states.

In other words:

- There was rarely a democratic vote on "let's just kill X" with X being a religious, ethnic or whatever group.

- There was rarely a small state committing horrible crimes of epic proportions. Partly because they don't have the means, partly because it's easier to flee small states, partly due to other reasons.

> One of the regions' main complaints is that they send much more in taxes to Rome than they get back in public spending, and want to roughly halve their contribution.

This seems to be the common denominator a lot of the independence movements in Europe and, possibly, elsewhere. The desire to keep the profits in urbanized centers while still being able to sell their stuff, without tariffs, elsewhere.
> nationalist and xenofobe

You are absolutely wrong. The referendum was supported by the Venetian sections of all major parties, including PD (Partito Democratico, Italian main centre-left party).
It's not a tax proposal, and it's depressing how many people voted thinking it was one.

In Lombardy it's about a list of 23 special topics, which the Constitution says are legislated by both State and regions. The Constitution also says that regions can agree with the central government on getting exclusive legislation on some or all of these topics. There was no need even to have a referendum to start the process. And there is no money on the table, but the president of the region kept mentioning "30 billion euros" which reminds me of the NHS and the British referendum. Not coincidentally, the president is running for reelection in 6 months.

In Veneto the question was simply "would you like more autonomy" without saying what and how. After voting, the president said it's about the 23 topics plus keeping tax money in Veneto. The latter however would require amending the Constitution, which in turn requires either a 2/3 supermajority in both houses, or a simple majority plus a referendum across all of Italy. It's just not going to happen. Constitutional changes have happened in the past, through either a supermajority or a referendum, but this one has no choice of passing. Regardless, a referendum was unnecessary there too.

Both referendums were a huge waste of money, basically amounting to campaigning with public money. They were a farce just like the one in Catalunya, but they were both completely legal and independence from Italy is not on the table anywhere, with the exception of a few nutjobs (equally subdivided among both rich and poor regions).

Addendum: Lombardy played with electronic voting; votes from the opposition were needed to do the referendum, because according to the regional statute referendums need a supermajority, and one opposition party agreed to vote on the condition that voting would be electronic. The president kept boasting about how we would have known the results five minutes after closing the ballot (it takes about three hours to do manual counting), yet 10 hours after we do not even know precisely how many people have voted.
If you have to work for money you value it in terms of the work expended. So you will only let it go when you can exchange it for sufficient value. Exchanging money for insufficient value is what causes inflation.

Which then leads to the idea that the idle rich can cause inflation because they have a reduced sense of value to the poor.

If we are to share the same currency we have to have a similar sense of what it is worth in exchange. Spending eight hours doing something in exchange for 80 dollars gives you a very good idea what those dollars need to be worth.

Work is actually what we do with our day to get a sense of value. If you expect somebody else to give up their day to produce stuff for you then you have to respond in kind or they'll stop doing it.

The reason we resent the idle rich is that they expect something but add nothing of actual value back in return. So it would be with anybody receiving free money. It would be seen as the theft it is.
A code example contains:

if (x.f != null) {
System.out.println(x.f.toString());
}

Apparently NullAway infers that x.f cannot be null inside the branch, so calling x.f.toString() is safe. However, strictly speaking, since field f is not final, it is possible that a different thread would modify it between the test and the call, resulting in a NullPointerException. Have you decided to just ignore such effects of multi-threading?
According to a NYT article [1] from the 2003, when the Concorde flew it's last flight, the airlines have never disclosed exact numbers for the profitability of the Concorde. Air France said 'Concorde operation was profitable "in some years."' BA said it once was, but not after the AF Concorde crash in 2000.

They specifically mention that both Airlines didn't have to pay for the planes:

> Part of the reason the airlines could claim some profitability on the Concorde was because they did not have to incur capital costs on the planes. [...] The governments of England and France underwrote the costs of building the 14 Concordes, which were then turned over to the two national airlines.

Lombardy voted to have more control regarding immigration and safety, Veneto to change their taxes and have more control in the "residuo fiscale" (what's left of taxes after all the administration costs has been covered).
Neither is allowed by the concept of regional autonomy in Italy.
Unfortunately, just like any other "independence" request these days, it's just a move to avoid helping poorer states and drawing a thick libe between "us and them".
They have been talking about it for years, they just jumped on the latest speedwagon.

That condition is important though. Have you ever wondered why the retirement age keeps going up despite there being a constant shortage of work? That's because society will only grant you a certain number of years off in return for the years you spent on the job.

So retirement is just deferred wages. That's a different concept to getting paid for nothing all the time.

Something I have noted from working with Jira and Magento 2 is that if your servers are on another continent, the network delay in getting the dozens of little snippets of JS and ajax API requests adds considerable delay.

Jira is especially cumbersome as when you update one thing it refreshes half a dozen other items and you have to wait for the whole lot before it becomes interactable again. In those cases, I would prefer it either to update on the component I touched or to not pretend to be reactive and just be a flat out form POST.

As it stands it is the worst of both worlds and the network delay compounds to make it a slow, page jittering mess the whole time I am using it.

Interesting, you might want to look at the suggested code though, maybe play through with some beginners?

function init(robot){
robot.number = 0;
}

function loop(robot){
robot.jump();
if(robot.number++ % 2 == 0){
robot.move(2);
}
}

This is in the second level.

Incrementing inside a check is awkward, as is just calling the variable 'number'. Perhaps something like

function init(robot){
robot.jump_next = true;
}

function loop(robot){
if (robot.jump_next) {
robot.jump()
robot.jump_next = false;
} else {
robot.move(2);
robot.jump_next = true;
}
}

> The article also touched on the various housing ordinances that were racially charged, and were precisely implemented so that only PoC could not afford to move out of their designated neighborhoods.

This is something that is very interesting for me. When I post in USA forums how good are housing ordinances, that keep public spaces, protect beaches and make life a lot better for Spanish citizens. And how bad is that it took so long to implement, as a big chunk of the Spanish coast was destroyed anyway. I get a lot of answers vilifying housing ordinances. Nowadays, I understand why. It is a completely different history depending on where you live.

Regulations and market self-regulation can be good and bad. This article does an amazing job giving background to the current situation of LA and by extension some other USA's big cities.
