...as a light hearted discussion, I thought the encounter fun

That is actually how you need to approach most people when attempting to change their mind about something. Once you take a position or suggest that they have a position than may or may not be valid, you put them on the defensive. After that they will be trying to protect their belief and nothing will change them. If you approach a topic as an open light hearted discussion of ideas without judgement then there is some hope of change. From their point of view there may also be hope of you changing. I'm sure there's much to be said here about vulnerability and a two-way street.

That's a pretty common thing out there - wonder how well that model actually works in reality? I've never seen hard data.
Or maybe incomplete understanding of the system. I had lobby for a year to get even a simple encrypted passwords. "Why do we need encrypted passwords behind a corporate firewall?" they asked. That sucked all the energy out of me.

So when they wrote a script to run a db extract, get all company salary data in csv and share it with literally 50+ people I gave up. Getting them to even encrypt data seemed impossible.
This would see me willing to pay a lot more to many f2p games, but would curb their income considerably from their whales.

Also, it'd ruin most games, because of the way they're designed.

For instance, gacha games like Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, Record Keeper, and Mobius. If you could cap out at (for example) $300 and then pull for free from then on, you'd end up with everything you ever wanted, all the time. There'd be nothing to stop you from just pulling until you got everything.

The entire game would need a redesign to deal with that situation.

Premium currency in most F2P games is the same way.

I'm not arguing with you, just exposing the reason that nobody except Nintendo has done your suggestion so far.

And to my knowledge, they've only done it twice. Pokemon Picross and another Pokemon spinoff game.

Ability to get access to liquidity and financing is game changer for some industries and separates startup hubs from other usual cities.

Imagine that instead of getting through bankers underwriting IPO's you can do same thing in the form of token as equity.

> I'm confused on how the kernel knows to associate keyboard input with any particular file at all

If you're running a graphical environment, it doesn't: the kernel hands the keypress events to X or to Wayland, and they are then responsible for multiplexing them (X uses the focus capabilities in Xlib; I haven't poked around much with Wayland but it must do something similar).

If you're on the console in Linux, there's a set of ioctls[1] that control how the kernel multiplexes virtual terminals. These can be set by the userland utility chvt. (Other Unixes do this differently; e.g. NetBSD and OpenBSD make a wsconsole abstract device with syscalls to associate it with a given TTY.)

The personal tax rate in the US seems generally on par with the EU. The United States certainly does not present as an outlier by any measure in this aspect.

From what I have read, the particular issue around public transit surrounds cultural trends around city population. The middle class left cities in droves after WW2, leaving city budgets starved (I believe the MTA's ridership peaked shortly after WW2 as well). A half century of neglect can do a lot of damage to infrastructure.

Additionally, public investment in infrastructure is not expedient for politicians with a focus on the short term. Investment in the MTA could take years to reap benefits--and most riders will just remember whomever pushed that investment as the individual who closed down the L train for a year. A long term focus makes no sense whenever you just want to get elected for the next term.
How often do you see redux used with anything other than react? Or are you just talking about redux working with react alternatives like preact/inferno, etc?

You're not wrong, but practically 99% of people pair it with react.
There is a certain paradox with teaching something like Redux, in that it's designed to make complex systems easy to understand and manageable. Yet when trying to demonstrate with a simple example, it appears hugely over complex and unnecessary.

I think a pre-requisite to learning something like Redux (or any micro-architecture) is to first try building something without it. Once you understand the pains of undisciplined, organically designed, spaghetti applications, the cynicism is replaced by excitement over how this will improve your job/life/application.

If a company can't spare the time of a senior team member to talk to you after some initial vetting they are probably not worth your time.
I've been on the other side quite often and properly interviewing is time intense. Preparation, conducting and wrap-up can easily be 4 hours. We only assign a senior member if we think it could be a match and we need to actively persuade the candidate. So unless you really want a position, if you get an inexperienced interview partner just cut your losses and move on. Don't think too much about it and focus on the next one.

Just generally, be bolder with how you select your employer. If they don't want to know you personally, move on. If they are not interested in what you did in previous positions, move on. If they are only interested in skills you built up previously, move on (because they won't want to develop you). Etc...
I'm curious if you've found a social network who's TOS you find acceptable?
For simpler languages you can implement logic in the editor / IDE for things like precise autocomplete and parsing.

For C++ even precise syntax colouring would be undecidable---and just hard to get the logic right. There are two ways out: (1) implement an approximation and the occasional impression, (2) ask the compiler for help. I think the llvm project helps with the latter.

(What does emacs have to do with things? Or do you mean you are using emacs without any special support for C++? With the right modes you can turn your emacs (or vim etc) into basically a fully fledged IDE.)
> At least makers of the make understood this.

Once you need to do anything moderately complex, people drop into os-specific scripts for language-specific tasks. I think people are just gonna realize the best build conf/file is a real-yet-simple language (Go?) whereby features are built as libs to depend on. I have built a couple of more complex cross-platform build scripts this way. We're developers, why can't we treat our build scripts like the rest of our code? (granted cargo is a great middle ground, but language specific)

A huge chunk of gaming revolves around the mechanics of progression and getting new things. There will be an audience for the game, because they like this type of game.

MMOs have been wildly popular in the general community, precisely because there are no significantly complex mechanics. Yes, there can be, but a very small portion of the player-base are engaged at that level. You don't need amazing aim. You just press a sequence of buttons. The plot is often totally incoherent and a lot of people skip it. And plot can be supplied by the player's imagination, fitting in with existing fantasies they hold (writing fantasy dialogues for your virtual pet, or I'm the king of the realm, building it by clicking things).

Even FPSes are changing, in Blizzard's Overwatch, the most loved/despised hero Mercy[1] is "skill-less". You're not trying to get head shots or twitch aim or anything, you're keeping 5 bars full while moving around with very simple mechanics. And love it or hate it, you can't deny it's brought in a lot more diverse set of players to the game, I've never heard so many female voices in an FPS.

It make me think that games can be thought of as combinations of several elements, plot, progression, mechanics, difficulty, etc.. Some people like parts part of that. They hate other bits of it. The progression thing seems to be one that's very easy to "exploit" through gambling mechanisms, it seems to be some sort of built in congitive mechanism that probably benefited us when you needed to plan ahead to build a shelter, or go on a hunt, or go out and get X berries, or anything that required a multi-step process for future planning.

[1]Overwatch is a 6 v 6 first person shooter team game where there are lots of different characters to choose from that have very different weapons, skills, and roles, including healers. Mercy is a healer who can heal using a beam that requires extremely basic aim and can fly from player to player. This has allowed players without highly developed aim or positioning skills to enter the game and enjoy it, and then gradually develop those other skills to move to different heroes. The general consensus in the community is that this has allowed it to be much more accessible and fun for people who haven't been playing Halo/CoD/Battlefield from the age of 12.
Yeah it really is. I'm not sure where that comes from. Maybe it has something to do with the climate when React rose to popularity, where all the competing alternatives were "frameworks," and so people were in that mindset when they approached React?

In any case, it's led to a ton of confusion in the community, especially for newcomers.
Another fun thing is to watch the time, when the comments are going up or down. Then you can see, what is the prevailing affiliation among those tho vote in Asia/Europe/Americas.

I think that commentators on this page have got this one completely wrong. It is important to let inexperienced engineers have a say in the recruitment process because they are the ones who will be working under you (right when you join or maybe in 6-12 months)!

Just to give an example, in one of the onsite interviews at a big tech company, I was interviewed by someone 1-2 years out of his undergrad. He asked me to solve a puzzle. Though I am not a big fan of puzzles, I answered it to the best of my ability. Then the conversation turned into what work he is doing and how he was getting frustrated on not having any meaningful projects. I gave him some standard career advice - do a side project that will improve the efficiency of your team (a new build system, test integration, wiki, etc.) and discussed higher education options. Both of us were happy by the end of interview. In addition, it also allowed me to catch a breath between the many back-to-back interviews.

> Their argument was that corporate interests and lobbyists would have proposed amendments that didn't serve to benefit the citizens of NY. Given that Citizens United is a thing, I can't blame them.

They actively spread misinformation, among other things telling people that the convention would have the power to adopt amendments. Any amendment would still have to go to a direct referendum anyway, so it's not like voters wouldn't have to explicitly approve the amendments. This referendum was about starting the process - arguing against it because lobbyists might propose something bad makes no sense, unless you also forbid the legislature from proposing constitutional amendments too.

And that's why "corporate interests and lobbyists" wouldn't use this process to propose amendments benefiting their own interests, because they already have the ability to do that, through the legislature. The point of the referendum is to balance this - every twenty years, voters are supposed to have an opportunity to check thr power of lobbyists and legislators directly. Since New York doesn't do ballot initiatives the way other states do, it's the only way for New Yorkers to vote directly on statewide policy like this.

In fact, this was literally the argument they used. "Why should we pay millions of dollars for a convention, when we already have a process for amending the constitution?" Of course, this argument conveniently omits the fact that the whole reason this referendum is required to be held every twenty years is to serve as a check against special interest groups capturing legislators... which is exactly what they've already done!

>> Isn't the actual reason simple inertia?

It helps if an argument fits the belief system or thinking patters of the person you're talking to. What are the odds that a cab driver has never had a physics class where they really dug into newtons laws of motion and internalized that? I bet the ones that have don't think the earth is flat.

One might attack the inertia concept by using the idea of jumping on a train or bus, but that's one step removed from helicopters ;-)
Because I haven't had any money in it for most of the year.

The couple of times I did have money in it -- for up to two months at a time -- it either fell slightly overall or stayed fairly flat. As soon as I sold, it jumped back up again.

It's been doing that for years.
Higher general awareness would be my guess? Regular-money people start to invest. Too bad it only works as an investment and not something useful (considering how much energy is wasted on it).
The problem isn't the price point, but what you get for that price. From the video, it looks just the same as the original, and I definitely wouldn't pay $30 for that.

Last week I listened to an interview with a man that has written some books on Bitcoin and other crypto currencies and in it he stated that he lives as much of his life on bitcoin as possible. He asks to be paid in bitcoin, he pays his employees in bitcoin, and generally uses it wherever possible.

I was thinking about this and to somebody like that, it must seem like the USD is crashing. If bitcoin is your currency, then deflation is happening everywhere! Does he look at the housing market and marvel how everything is now around 80% less expensive than it was at the start of the year?

As an outsider looking in, it seems like every time something negative happens to BTC, if the ramifications weren't as bad as everyone was expecting the market resurges twofold.

In the case of this year, there was the major shenanigans with the hard fork from just BTC to BTC / BCH, as well as some heightened cryptocurrency crackdowns in China.
You can't really say 0 deaths, because no one knows. We don't have good epidemiological models for wide-spread low-level dispersal such as was seen at Fukushima, we already know incidences of cancer and gene mutation don't scale linearly with exposure at low levels. There are also associated deaths from psychological factors of those who were evacuated, lost land / business etc. which will only become apparent in years to come.

Dams do have the potential for massive loss of life as you say, and they also suffer from the problem of massive centralisation of capacity (unlike e.g. solar or wind). On the smaller upside, the models related to fatalities are pretty well understood.

Perhaps an instant move away from nuclear may need coal, although here in the UK it's gas that has been taking up the slack while the government dilly-dally on whether to build out new nuclear or invest in renewables research (successfully doing neither).

I see over the longer term renewables coming up as nuclear is naturally retired at the end of the current plant's lifespan. Solar is now cheaper than coal to built-out in many places, there are other impediments but (generally) lack of public support isn't one of them (compared to coal/nuclear).
> New York has low turnout because it has a set of laws that serve to disenfranchise voters in ways that other states could only ever dream of. (Yes, people technically have the right to vote, but because of a set of laws which I've described elsewhere, there's no way for them to use these votes to hold their elected officials accountable, like there is in other states).

The only laws I've seen you describe elsewhere in this thread is the delay in New York if you want to switch parties (was 6 months in 2016, now I believe it's up to ~11 months) and the fusion voting system. Neither of these prevents Democrats from voting in the Democratic primary, so I'm not sure which ones your talking about.

I'm not sure why you think contested races only happen once a decade. The year before the gubernatorial race, there was, (for example) a pretty well contested NYC mayoral race and NYC comptroller race. There have been plenty of contested races in the NY senate, (some connected to the IDC drama, like Tony Avella beating John Liu 6,813 to 6,245 with ~13% turnout) as well as the assembly and downballot races.
