Really-existing communism is bad too. I think worse than really-existing capitalism as it had to pass through a dictatorship stage to be realised, and dictatorships are extremely hard to renounce when formed.

What I was saying was a defence of the fundamental economic model of capitalism, not a criticism of it.

> we are all suddenly better people?

Yes. People are largely ethical products of situations they find themselves in. Reduce the number of opportunities for bad behaviour and you get Good People.

unaccountable systems of power are the recurring situations causing bad-behaviour here.

A healthy democratic capitalism aligns the interests of those power with the people. So that capital owners do not seize control.

"Capital" is not capitalist. It is anti-capitalist, wanting to monopolize and dictate.

I'd rather they opened up Intel CAT to consumer products to help protect against side channel attacks. Memory encryption isn't enough and doesn't address current exploits that are already being used against VM providers.
> If you want precise names to offer as aliases to "first" and "rest", then I think ML-style "head" and "tail" are better names than "car" and "cdr".

I don't know what you mean by ML-style, as most ML-derived languages call car and cdr fst and snd; I don't know any that call them head and tail.

But aside from that: really? I think of head and tail as being basically synonymous with first and rest (every language I know of that has built-in head and tail functions, or that idiomatically uses head and tail or abbreviations for variable names, uses them to mean the first element, and the list beyond that element. I don't know any that use them for two parts of a 2-tuple). The left child of a binary tree node being the head and the right side being the tail makes no sense at all to me. Not that car and cdr shouldn't be aliased when they're being used that way, but reading as "element a" and "element b" is better to me than "head" and "tail" which are equally meaningless, but by having English names imply meaning.

Lisp offers (since the 70s) the aliases first and rest for when conses are being used as lists, and I think those are fine and should be used when you are operating on lists. Conses can be used as other things than lists, though, and first/rest (or head/tail) don't work as meaningful names for any usecase aside from lists. Head/tail are totally equivalent to first/rest to me and I don't really care which pair is used for naming the list-handling functions, but they're both bad sets of names for the cons handling functions.
I can only speak for my region. But plowing and cultivating has become a lot less common over the past few decades. Herbicides kill the weeds effectively which reduce the need for it.

TL;DR

The ancient greek word "Hippos" - which, undoubtedly, means "horse" - was used to call a type of phoenician ship as well, and the whole story works fine with a 'ship' transaltion. The 'horse' translation was a mistake by some early translator that wasn't corrected and sparked the myth.
Teaching credentials don’t always transfer across state lines, and oftentimes there’s a requirement to take a course or obtain another certification to teach in a different state, both of which require them to pay more money.

>but this particular example striked me as almost unbelievable

That's because it is unbelievable. In high school in the US, I had to write an essay per week in my history classes and a paper per book in my literature classes.

I went middle ranked suburban high school (and a large public university). Based on my experience, this story didn't happen the way it's being told.

I think it's more likely that no one wanted to raise their hand because they thought it was a trick question.
Anybody knows how to solve that third meta skill, of "solving hard problems"?
Wow, U.S. egg pricing seems crazy to me. It's US$ 9.90/dozen in Switzerland at a normal nationwide store vs. US$ 5.90 at Aldi Suisse (both selling free-range Swiss eggs).

This can't be explained just by purchase power differences. Considering the conditions even for Swiss free-range chickens aren't good, are they particularly terrible for chickens laying 5 cent eggs? I couldn't find any information (not even pricing) on the Aldi US site.
Something I don't think people here are taking into account is the bias inherent in this forum and the variance in education.

I had to write a ton of papers in high school (less in college, but that happens when you study math).

Some childhood friends of mine who went to a different school got stressed because they had to color a map (with colored pencils). The difference in rigor levels was astounding.

I don't think it's necessarily a huge failing to not know about this/not teach your kid about it. Different kids have different curiosities, and as long as he is intellectually curious, and just didn't happen upon that particular calendrical oddity, then no biggie.

However, I've seen some evidence that it is possible to do well at elite bay area schools without having much intellectual curiosity, and most teachers will give you high marks just for hard work and obedience.

I'd say you are likely to come out ahead if you ignore elite status, and instead focus on whether teachers at your kids' schools nourish their intellectual curiosity.

I still think QBasic is one of the better ways to get people interested in programming. It starts off very simple, but you can really go a long ways with it. Plus it's got some pretty powerful, yet easy to access graphics and music capabilities built right into it. My first programming class in high school, we went from Hello World to creating an animated Christmas card, with MIDI Christmas carols accompanying it, in the first semester.

QBasic might not have been the greatest language, but it had a pretty sweet IDE, fantastic live documentation, and was really just fun to play with. I feel like there ought to be a packaged up Python distribution with the same kind of attributes, but I've never really seen anything that really aced that spot the same way.

In addition to car and cdr, there were cpr (Contents of the Prefix part of Register) and ctr (Contents of the Tag part of Register).

> By the way, the C and R are not machine specific; any machine can have a "register"

Slight nitpick: the first machine on which I had a decent Lisp to use (Portable Standard Lisp) was a Burroughs 6800, a stack machine with no general purpose registers, or indeed any registers directly accessible by the programmer.
It's ironic that the author misuses the word 'comprises' in his rant about the quality of English education. Things never comprise of - a group comprises the parts, or it is composed of the parts. The parts compose the whole.
And allow for more density in general.
creases could help scatter the signal into more directions and maybe change the signal properties so it's easier to go though some materials. I know nothing about radio but creases makes sound more even (lookup Diffusion) if it's random because it doesn't strengthen any particular wavelength, and sound bounces in different directions instead of straight.
It's not about lack of understanding. The viral success of a "one-off" type of game like ADR is nearly impossible to reproduce. Sometimes people take a liking to something because you hit exactly the right notes without even knowing what notes they are (not that they do themselves even!), and it is impossible to hit them again. ADR looks like that kind of success. Repeating the success of GTA Vice City is very hard, but probably more tractable than repeating the success of ADR. There are a few reasons: the high resource requirements for the production and marketing create a moat, the type of game is amenable to a near "extension" to repeat the success, etc... notwithstanding that, most game publishers end up finding the way to kill a franchise after a few titles.
Best to ask a CPA as there could be other instances that affect what you will need to do on your 2018 tax returns (e.g. you take a salary or not from the business and other things that may occur (you end up going over $157,000/year or you are married)).

I had a friend who decided to live in his Ford Explorer in San Diego rather than pay rent....

Then he flipped his Explorer on the freeway going like 70 mph. He survived unscratched but his SUV was totaled.

Fortunately for him, he was able to move in with his mom and stepdad (who he hated) but if he was anybody else and he didn't have family in the area he would have been completely homeless...
I think the most likely explanation for this story is that the students thought the professor was asking a trick question, so no one wanted to raise their hand.

I went to high school and university in Georgia (our high school graduation rate and quality scores consistently rank in the bottom half of states). I have never heard of an English class where the students "Listened to records, watched videos, talked about movies and current events" and never had to write an essay.
Once we teach kids how to do their taxes and vote we can move on the hard stuff like Leap Years.

Why Has Regional Income Convergence in the U.S. Declined?

>The past thirty years have seen a dramatic decline in the rate of income convergence across states and in population flows to wealthy places. These changes coincide with (1) an increase in housing prices in productive areas, (2) a divergence in the skill-specific returns to living in those places, and (3) a redirection of unskilled migration away from productive places. We develop a model in which rising housing prices in wealthy areas deter unskilled migration and slow income convergence. Using a new panel measure of housing supply regulations, we demonstrate the importance of this channel in the data. Income convergence continues in less-regulated places, while it has mostly stopped in places with more regulation.
I've come to the sad realization that Holywood/Silicon Valley liberal ideology is a significant enabler of inequality and wealth stratification.

It need not be grounded to be an semi-effective shield, we're talking about frequencies that drywall will attenuate here. Think about it this way, if it can reflect TX, it can also reflect other cochannel signals from that direction.

It may very well be working in more than one mode - but I strongly suspect its a far better shield, than it is a forward power reflector. It also may strongly effect the VSWR of the existing dipoles used here.

My recollection is that Dan was working at Microsoft during "Third real job (2015-2017)." (He has a couple of posts in this timeframe where he refers vaguely to his employer. "Hiring Lemons" is one.)

I would be interested to know what teams Dan worked on while he was at Microsoft. He says that team #1 couldn't build their source code on most days, and that while team #2 was better, they still often had broken builds in origin/master.
doing a proper site survey and changing channel would help - you need to see what channels interfere in each quadrant of the building, and then choose accordingly. You're also generally better off on a channel with one moderately strong cochannel station, than 10 weak cochannel stations.
Most cars are parked during the solar peak and during the overnight wind peak, so there's plenty of opportunity to use ordinary electric car charging as storage.
YESSS.. By itself it's just business right? The price of doing business. Don't like it? Go somewhere else. But that somewhere else is Android and Google ALSO charges 30%? Hmmm..

This duopoly situation isn't really good developers. Apple taking 30% cut and tossing it on their pile of 250b in cash; that's a depressing image.
My point is more that it requires modifications to existing C code to use the full capabilities (no pun intended) of a capability machine.
An update on Better Ads (Chrome native ad-blocking)
There are two very basic prerequisites before the police must issue a Miranda warning to a suspect:

- The suspect is in police custody
- The suspect is under interrogation

It's crucial to understand these prerequisites because if you aren't formally in police custody, and you aren't being interrogated, the police don't have to give you a Miranda warning. This, in turn, means that the police can use anything you say until those two requirements are fulfilled as evidence against you.
The title of the NPR article would be more accurate as "Cities See a Reduction in Ambulance Usage After Uber is Introduced".

The paper looks at 700 different cities, each with a different Uber market entry time over a two year period. The researchers also control for some seasonality effects.

Perhaps more covariates could have been considered, but this seems like a pretty decent design to measure a before/after causal effect.

Your observations are on point, and collaborating with lispers is not free of bitter moments.

At work we use cljfmt (similar to gofmt) plus a variety of hacky formatters and conventions. It works for us and I hope to open-source part of our stack at some point!

The experience is similar to that of Rubocop - which btw is the reason why there aren't indent wars (or similar) on Ruby.

Great to decomplect how code is written (however you please), from how it is committed (autoformatted).

Germany actually needs to pay other nation states around it to take the energy they can't use (they don't want it).
Using the energy intelligently (demand managment) only lowers smoothes the energy spikes of renewable energy only by 11% (when you do it monthly, on a daily base its nearly nothing.)
Pump stations are a good idea but the amount of pumpstation we would need only for the current German electricity demand exceeds already what you could build in all of Europe.

Currently when there is a lot of wind we stop coal burning power plants and the government pays its owner for what they could have been produced in that time. Because stopping the plant makes it more inefficient, there are some fix costs around it to operate it.

Tesla batteries might not solve the storage problem on their own, but there are plenty of additional ways to store energy.

Imho up until recently, we didn't even have that much incentive to research and innovate on large-scale energy storage (outside of storing it as fossil fuels), as we would just generate it when we needed it, so no real need to store it, no need to innovate on that front.

But with the abundance of energy created by renewables, we will need to rethink our approach to energy production and consumption, putting more of a focus on storage than was needed before.

The article has some grains of truth but seems to overlook many areas, but the three I'd highlight are that numbers have dramatically increased, facilities / organisation is much improved and students for the large part work very hard now (in higher tier institutions at least). It's such a diverse field I'm sure people could debate over examples for ages but it probably does benefit to try to simplify it this way.
Where I'd suggest society might want to look is how we ensure that the overall higher education offering can be optimised to obtain the best outcome for the greatest number of people. Clearly it isn't for all and not treating alternatives (eg apprenticeships and other channels) as interior is a start. Something also needs to be done about the spiralling costs from the arms race between institutions and the increasing portion taken by senior staff at the expense of average staff.
