The Dutch also have the Polder model of consensus decision making -- "a pragmatic recognition of pluriformity" and "cooperation despite differences", which is pretty much the exact opposite of how the United States is operating right now.

And that enabled big projects like this:

You can draw your own conclusions about what the Dutch think of people who don't believe in global warming, then lie about the Netherlands, then call reports with video evidence of their lies fake news, then deny they used the term fake news less than 60 seconds later. It's not consensus decision making if you can't even agree with your own words.

Historical background

Somewhat ironically, there is no consensus about the exact historical background of the polder model. In general there are three views on this subject.

One explanation points to the rebuilding of the Netherlands after World War II. Corporatism was an important feature of Christian Democratic, and particularly Catholic, political thought. During the postwar period, the Catholic, Protestant, Christian, social-democratic, and liberal parties decided to work together to reconstruct the Netherlands, as did unions and employers' organizations. Important institutions of the polder model, like the SER, were founded in this period. No single political party has ever had anything approaching an overall majority in parliament, so coalition government is inevitable. This makes parties extremely cautious, since today's enemy may be tomorrow's ally, all the more so in present times when the "death of ideology" has made it possible for almost all the parties to work together.

Another explanation points to the dependency of the Netherlands on the international economy. The Dutch cannot afford protectionism against the unpredictable tides of the international economy, because the Netherlands is not an autarkic economy. Therefore, to cushion against the international economy, they set up a tri-partite council which oversaw an extensive welfare state.

A third explanation refers to a unique aspect of the Netherlands, that it consists in large part of polders, land reclaimed from the sea, which requires constant pumping and maintenance of the dykes. So ever since the Middle Ages, when the process of land reclamation began, different societies living in the same polder have been forced to cooperate because without unanimous agreement on shared responsibility for maintenance of the dykes and pumping stations, the polders would have flooded and everyone would have suffered. Crucially, even when different cities in the same polder were at war, they still had to cooperate in this respect. This is thought to have taught the Dutch to set aside differences for a greater purpose.

I agree anyone can put on a robe, but when people give anyone with that robe special treatment and powers, then they have some power and influence.

Anyone in the US can run for a local political position, they are not powerless just because anyone can do it.
I think I said that it's turning down a bunch of people who are unwilling to practice.

And yes, turning down people who are unwilling to spend a week practicing is a cost... it could be a very big cost if someone else has a intake filtering procedure that allows them to snatch those people up at a lower cost, but it's also a really effective way of filtering out the people who can't learn those things after a few weeks of practice, which is super important.

When I worked in UPS operations, Peak season (generally starting in August / September when retail stores started stocking up, and building to full force in December) saw volume approximately double.

It's pretty hard to fine-tune a system for maximum efficiency most of the time, then make everything go 2X during a spike with the same level of efficiency. Especially when you're dealing with physical space and people who require training.
I like it. I've been thinking of something similar. Just a note, I hear in the US people find a female voice more pleasing for automated voices. But it depends on the country. In Germany, I understand a male voice is better.
Except that it isn't short. ARM licenses their architecture which you can implement but that implementation also must pass a verification test and you can neither add anything nor leave anything out. ARM also licenses IP cores in its traditional fabless role.

There are about 15 architectural licensees. Apple and NVidia are architectural licensees.

In order to apply for citizenship I would have to live there for at least 5 or 10 years or so. So for now that is not in the cards and I'll just use a visa. I am considering a Thai Elite paid visa. A marriage visa would also work of course.
so, there's what, 11 standard paid holidays, so 30 days off would be 'four weeks of vacation' - The set of people who make more than a million dollars a year who can't negotiate four weeks of vacation... I think is small.

There's this persistent myth of the driven executive... I mean, I guess it's possible that other fields of endeavor are different? but everywhere I've worked? the more they pay you, the better they treat you, the more vacation you get, and ultimately the less you are expected to actually work.

I grew up watching newsround, which is aimed at 10-15 year olds. There's a massive difference between that and say the Ten oClock news, but there a massive difference between the one, six and ten.

I would expect the Ten to have far more in depth and gruesome stories than newsround. 10 year olds don't need to know the minutiae of human trafficking.

Any resources for designing the syntax for a programming language?
Hello,

I have found many articles and E-books on creating a compiler / interpreter for a programming language, but virtually none on how to design the language itself. Could anyone please recommend me to a few free E-books or articles on how to design the syntax, constructs and standard library of a custom programming language (from ground up)?

Thanks,

Selamlar,

A friend of mine followed the path of doing mobile development, and finding a job in Amsterdam with a known travel/booking site. I was wondering if you could do similar path - he recently started working at Google Zurich. I believe coming to US on a visa without a CS background might be hard, but you might use your IOS skills in a EU based company.

Don't be too fixated on backend, I like it more than i do mobile, but eventually, most skills are transferable to different platforms. I'd first try to utilize what I have, and find stepping stones that are more-easily achieved.

How about if you invert it. If somebody came to you and asked for a system that can send emails when certain conditions are met in a database and track the results, would you assume that to write the program you would have to hang out with sales people? The actual work (in the two weeks to implement it) is development.
There is a connection. Global warming is part of the reason. Obviously in the beginning the largest initial problems are going to be for cities that have other reasons for sinking in addition to global warming. But global warming is part of the reason and will apply to every single city that is on the ocean coast.

Say for example there is a terrible disease outbreak in your community. The first people that die will probably be people that have weakened health because of health problems other than the particular outbreak. But that does not mean that the disease does not exist and the ones that survive should not be trying to address it.

Cryptokitties is little more than a scam to bring kids into the world of Ethereum speculation. They make part of their money via their marketplace, which of course has zero to do with the blockchain. Most people aren't going to care who "owns" the digital asset, as you can't do much with the asset outside of the software that uses the digital asset. Which is going to be 100% owned by the digital creator. Nintendo isn't going to give up copyright of Pikachu so that some third party can create an app to interact with a blockchain Pikachu. Come on now. The visual and audio representation dictates where centralization will happen.

Not to mention that Cryptokitties is "backdoored" by CEO/CFO/COO functions. Which means the company has full control over the contract, even if the contract itself is "decentralized" (more like externalized, if anything). They can halt trading of the assets any time they desire.

> Only someone with the private keys to my address/account/whatever could send that house to someone else.

And that is exactly the opposite of what a land title database is. The authorities must be able to transfer your house to your heirs if you die. The authorities must be able to take away your deed in certain cases. The authorities must be able to correct entries in the database. They must be able to override things.

Land titles are worthless if they are not enforced by courts, and courts will not enforce land titles in a database that has illegal entries.
While I agree with the sentiment that spurious connections should be avoided, I'm not really sure how to make sense of your examples. They seem to apply to a different type of article. This one is about Jakarta, which is anologous to the murder capital for costal problems.

That said, while a spurious connection need not be drawn I. The article, it is relevant to compare and Co Trasylol the rate of change with global sea level rise (while pointibg out the distinction). Similarly to if we were talking about the murder capital of the world it would be relevant to compare and contrast to worldwide averages, and possibly less unique causes for that city.
There have been plenty of smartphones with replaceable batteries. It's just in the last couple of years that everyone has given up on them. I'm still using a Galaxy Note 4 with a replaceable battery. I haven't replaced it yet, but just a few weeks ago I had to pull the battery to get the phone out of a reboot loop. (That was the first time I had seen that with this phone.) If I hadn't been able to remove the battery, I would have have had to wait for the phone to drain it completely and shut off.
Just a suggestion that may be worth considering. Sometimes hate is confused with disagreement, and sometimes assuming people you’ve never met have less wisdom can cause hate before you’ve had a fair chance to make your point.
They've never formally taken cryptographic advice from the NSA. For a good long while, the chair of the IRTF CFRG was Kevin Igoe, who worked for NSA. CFRG is now chaired by Kenny Paterson, and has been for several years. Even during the Igoe years, IETF process is open; if IETF suffers from undue NSA influence, it's a consequence of people generally being too disengaged to push back on anything.

IETF crypto work is particularly painful, as the noisiest people involved in the process are not, as a rule, the most crypto-literate.

As always, it's worth remembering that at the time extended-random was standardized, nobody --- including cryptographers --- worried about exposing RNG output on the wire. If anything, we had the opposite concern, after the Debian fiasco. Extended-random is shady, and I now lean towards Matthew Green's take on it, but that comes from a much more recent perspective on this stuff.

Normally films are Adverts-Trailers-Film

The trick is to arrive near the start of the trailers - they are adverts, but personally I think they add to the cinema experience, as does overpriced popcorn. The adverts though should be destroyed - just add 50p to the ticket, it's not going to change anyone's decision of whether to go or not.
There is no "revolving door" between the industry and NSA, or really between the industry and any part of the USG. This is something you've made up.

You are confusing transaction clearing with actual account settlements.

Banks want to use Blockchain as a more reliable alternative to SWIFT it won’t be doing actual account settlements which in your case you mentioned corresponding banking.

That said many of the more progressive institutions stopped calling it Blockchain a while ago they all are talking about distributed ledgers, hyper ledger and the likes are being either used or piloted by many institutions.

The ones that do use Blockchain often mean today actual crypto currency or a settlemen token a good example of a “real world” implementation would be Royal Mint Gold which is a crypto token offered by the Royal Mint which is pegged to gold.

As long as the existing system is fully funded and properly maintained, there is no pressing need to replace anything. The original signal system worked fine for a century and could continue working fine for another century, as long as maintenance is being done

I'm not saying you're definitively wrong, because I don't know from where you get your information, but that is simply not what I've heard from every other source. What I've read is that the signal system and the track structure is antiquated[0], equipment dating almost a century old, which is the cause of most delays and prevents safe running of trains at more frequent intervals, and that certain components of the track are so old that no one manufactures their replacements anymore, so the agency cannibalizes out of commission lines for parts. If you've got something to link that suggests otherwise, I'd be glad to read it and expand my horizons.

I don't deny that increasing track coverage with new lines is very important too.

I suppose it's attainable for office workers. A house like this could cost around RM300k (74k USD), although for the specific property I linked prices would be much higher due to the location (it's an affluent district located very near the heart of the capital city). Median monthly income in Malaysia is around RM5.5k (~1.3k USD) [1].

Unfortunately property prices have been rising 5-10% year on year while income has stayed mostly stagnant.

I would NOT necessarily suggest Verify.as as an investment by any means but what they're trying to accomplish is quite similar.

If you can track reputation fairly then every time you make a transaction you don't have to go to court because its expensive and time consuming.
Yeah you don't even need to go to that extreme. I'm yet to see a self driving car handle the extremely common situation of meeting an oncoming car on a road that is effectively single lane because of cars parked on the side. Or just, and road layout more complicated than US-style grids.
I believe each person is making a choice. The same is true in the US. We are currently pollution our entire environment here and unfortunately future generations will have to bear the consequences.

I actually work in this space, and yes it is often the case that you find people on standards bodies with prior experience at major government IT contractors with classified gaps in their CVs, and/or former private sector people who rotate into those same government contracting positions.

K.. So on one hand, security guards are going mad with power, and not wise about it, threatening people and basically shaking them down. On the other hand, if there was a real educational program that worked, and it was only used on actual criminals, it could provide competition to the state's very bad recidivism rate. I think rehabilitation is one of the hardest things you can do, since you almost have to care about someone more than they care about themselves. It's why I wish Tony Robbins would run for president.

That’s what I’m referring to, retrieving more entropy from the system source to juice the initial state of the RNG.

If you have a separate RNG per connection (or two per connection) that requires separate init, each connection would drain the system pool slightly. That’d be in constraint two having two static pools shared for all connections.
Huh. I went to public school in Ontario between 1987 and 2000 and all I ever learned about first nations people was how shitty they were treated. It was so often the point of our geography and canadian history lessons that I feel like the only thing I know about Canada's history is that they treated first nations poorly. It was so heavily reenforced that a lot of my schoolmates got empathy fatigue.

Where and when did you go to school in Canada?
Not to mention the junk this generates and resources this wastes by forcing users to buy a new phone, when a replacement battery would make it perfectly usable again. I hope some regulatory body would step in here, like the EU did for unified phone charger ports.

As a married guy, if your marriage is truly fulfilling, this problem is irrelevant to you.

Given that proximity is the single largest determining factor in romantic partnership, if you work the majority of your time then coworkers will be your most promising dating pool. If you don't work much, you're probably stressed from unemployment. The number of people that have free time to enjoy close proximity with non-coworkers is certainly a minority.
You can buy fake physical Pokemon cards that don't change the fact that someone will pay for the original.
