So what wording should people use when they want to suggest that someone's culture constrained their thinking, without triggering the anti-SJW brigade? Some of those people are so easy to accidentally trigger and so sensitive. How could we have a conversation about this without upsetting them and the conversation subsequently degrading?
No it would not. It is grown in a sterile environment.

While that's probably true, it's difficult to have a comprehensive individual patient cost comparison because medical issues are so diverse, and some people do indeed consider some issues to not require immediate attention. But I imagine only a financially unhealthy government would strip the health care system's funding for all things that the general population considers a basic requirement. And if your government has financial straits that dire, you're going to have so many problems in all aspects of life, not just health care. What's the point of being healthy if everything else is a living hell? Not saying this is a good argument for or against single payer. I am saying that whether or not single payer should be the system is probably an unimportant question for an insolvent government's populace.

If it's more efficient than some alternative, then it IS saving me money and time. Having NOTHING in place is clearly not an alternative. We must always have something. Therefore, whether it's saving money or time is relative as to the alternatives, or relative to whatever processes we had before the introduction of agile.

What did you have in mind that you consider to be more efficient than agile?

(Btw, I noticed you snuck the word "directly" in there, as in "agile doesn't directly help you make money…". This makes the rule of thumb nearly useless as the only people who directly make money is sales. Very nearly everything else that goes on in an organisation is in indirect support of them, one way or another.)
You don't necessarily need to clean the plant daily. Bigger ag producers (especially poultry) are protected from certain food-borne illness lawsuits because it is impossible to remove those pathogens from the food supply, even with cleaning. Salmonella is one of them and there is a new antibiotic resistance strain that is spreading.

They can be welded without special equipment, put back in shape when slightly bent etc. They also fail less catastrophic - if an aluminum frame or fork receives even a slight bend in a dooring accident it needs replacing since it may just break clean though at the next inconvenient occasion (like hitting a slight bump downhill with high speed)

It is all about risk vs reward. Illegals are willing to work and do stuff that other workers won't do. So the owners end up saving money. If immigration busts them then they get fined and then they replace the workers. The amount saved vs the payment of the fine still nets them savings. Immigration does not enforce the law thoroughly.

I use copyq[1] on Linux and earlier used Ditto on Windows. I don't actually use it that often, but when I need it, the history of copied things is extremely useful. It's a built-in function in Emacs[2] and Vim and honestly, it should be also implemented by the OS or thereabouts (X/Desktop Env/WM in the worst case). And BTW, for keeping tabs on more than just the clipboard, I use selfspy[3], which is a really neat... keylogger, basically. It's great for filling timelogs!

Anyway, what I want to say is that there are legitimate uses for nearly every API. Some should be protected with permissions and so on, but once an API is there, you should always assume it's central to someone's workflow.

Sure. A lot of medicine is pretty much a simple service business, economically. You are paying for the services of a person. These tend to be very locally priced.

But.... Medicine is not really an ordinary market, most places. It's not really a market in the US and Europe, in the sense that prices are set like other services. A big determinant of costs tends to be how well the system works.

The average American dentist earns $175,000, the median is ~$155,000. What do you propose to do about that to reduce their income considerably to bring down overall costs vs what a dentist in Taiwan earns?

US GDP per capita is nearly three times that of Taiwan, incomes are likewise far higher.

It's equivalent to comparing costs in Switzerland versus Czech and being surprised that Switzerland is so much higher.
If I suspect it is dangerous, I do whatever I can to eliminate - or, if not possible, at least mitigate the risk to make it as low as practically possible - then see what can be done to ensure the safety of people within range even with that residual risk present.

Now, I appreciate that my circumstances are not directly comparable to that of a police officer responding to an emergency call; however, the basic methodology should be applicable in both cases.

Police officers are granted a monopoly on applying force on the civilian population; with that privilege comes great responsibility to use that privilege sparingly and proportionate to the situation they are sent to resolve.

I do not expect the police to disarm completely - that wouldn't be realistic - but as a member of the public I do expect them to show restraint and train -and aim for- non-lethal outcomes in encounters with the public. They have, after all, taken an oath to serve us. I hardly think the best way of serving is to assume civilians are hostile until proven otherwise.

> It is trivial to prove that in most self-professed communist countries, the workers have not held the reigns of power.

While this is true the question is: What does 'the workers holding the reins of power' even truly mean? Why didn't that state last longer in communist systems where it initially was the case (I suppose both the Paris Commune and the short-lived Soviet Republic in Germany after WWI are additional examples)?

These affairs or definitions tend to be more gradual than we commonly think. For example, we usually take for granted that both the US and France have been democracies since the late 1700s. However, by today's standards they weren't (France in particular) because they hadn't universal suffrage and excluded large parts of the population from political participation.

> Really? From the UK all I can see is the literacy rates getting worse and worse in either country, people being driven into unspeakable amounts of debt by private universities and bank bailouts, and Americans dying of silly things like Type 1 Diabetes just because they couldn't afford enough medicine.

Those are certainly urgent problems but not necessarily ones that are entirely driven by poverty:

Literacy rates drop because education systems are insufficiently funded and don't keep up with societal changes.

Rampant university debt and bank bailouts are symptoms of a crony capitalist system that has politicians and corporations collude in order to extract value from society (i.e. rent-seeking).

People dying from type 1 diabetes is a symptom of a dysfunctional healthcare system, which in rich countries is less a question of poverty but one of ideology.

The true epidemic is type 2 diabetes, though, which is caused by malnutrition and obesity (which in turn in rich countries indeed are linked to relative poverty).

My basic issue with sweeping diet generalizations is that it often excludes many people. As someone who has this very problem, I am confused by the strange diets everyone is on. If only I had that choice! (I generally dissociate myself from vegetarians and their ilk because I loathe talking about it)

Regarding the topic of too much protein, nutrition doesn't quite work that way. You can't go tick-tock on your diet just because you have too much protein today; you will need protein until the day you die. You also need suger, fat, salt, and yes, fiber.

It's also quite wrong to say everyone could be on a vegetarian / vegan diet because you well know that it's quite dangerous if it isn't followed correctly, and lo and behold, the average American is overweight.

We can sort of blame the new trend diets for the lack of fiber.

There’s no political consensus in the US on enforcing immigration laws. The only position that won’t get anybody condemning you in the Democratic Party is Open Borders and there are plenty of Republicans willing to support any local business.

Sanctuary cities exist. Large swathes of the US populace regard restricting immigration as immoral and plenty of the rest have no particular desire to do so. Why would there be consequences in those circumstances?

Binder: Execute Jupyter Notebooks Hosted on GitHub
The part from the title starts at 3:35. Sega Saturn used quads (distorted rectangular sprites) rather than triangles as the basic unit in 3D rendering.

I think that approach is not that unusual for that early era of 3D graphics. Somewhere around that time I wrote a software 3D engine for PCs that was based on a similar principle. Using rectangles allowed for some simplifications compared to triangles, but it did limit the kind of shapes you could have in your world.

You can't simply apply rich industrial country standards to that. $1.25 is a global average (which by the way lately has been increased to $1.90). In developing countries $1.26 might be enough to get by.

> The increase of social welfare safety nets.

Those safety nets for the most part again only exist in industrialised countries. The reduction of poverty in recent decades however is accounted for mostly by developing countries, which typically don't have that kind of system.
And I'm just explaining why that is a bullshit. It's clear that the real reason Apple is doing this is to make more money by selling accessories.
I find integration tests more useful for documentation because they show you how the system works at a higher level which is precisely what new developers need to understand.

If the code itself is written properly then the individual classes and objects used throughout should be high cohesion and easy to read without needing any comments or tests.

There are always cases where unit tests are important though like the parts of the code that deal with money.

But there is no benefit in adding unit tests if you're building a standard chat system for example; integration tests are sufficient in that case.

Also getting 100% test coverage is a complete waste of time if you don't actually test the right kinds of input and output parameters.
Yeah, eventually we'd like to allow full support -- though shorter term the plan is to expose all the 'config' stuff basically. Long term the goal would be to let you import custom code/assemblies and pretty much allow modders to have at it!

Obviously they have a bad ass device driver in the PS4 with some serious 3D performance ( after all it is a gaming console ). Yet the only thing you have in mainline FreeBSD is a hacked driver ported from Linux! BSD at work!

>The momentum change over the distance of 2 inches produces a force of about 360,000 Newton

you're right that the force will be huge, and you're dead wrong about the force effect.

lets say we stop the bullet over the distance of 1cm instead of 2 inches - the stopping force to act upon bullet would be even bigger - 1.8M Newtons (30 elephants!). The same value force will be acting upon our 5lb armor plate. This force will be acting until the bullet stops, ie. for about 0.02 milliseconds. During that time the force would accelerate the armor plate to the speed of 16m/s and the armor plate would travel less than 1mm - only starting to compress the padding under the armor plate. So, 0.02 milliseconds after the bullet impact we have a stopped bullet and the armor plate moving with the speed of 16m/s through the first millimeter of the padding - the situation is no different than being hit by a frying pan.
If my frequently given answer teaches anything it at least teaches not to assume that these things work, or how they work. ("systemd is (I assume) ...") Even reading the current source code is not enough. The systemd people have been around the houses several times with this mechanism, changing things and then changing them back again; and there is lots from them to read on the subject, bemoaning it. Do not assume; read.

Your supervise isn't a "superior API", of course. It does a whole bunch of parsing and constructing human-readable strings at runtime, which something that the 1980s and 1990s taught better than to do. A proper directly-program-usable binary interface actually already exists, as used by Daniel J. Bernstein's original supervise program from daemontools, and has been in widespread use for two decades with a whole bunch of tools in toolsets from a variety of people that speak it. I am one of the people who has documented it in detail. See the manual page for my service-manager command.

You are at about the same level that the supervise in Daniel J. Bernstein's daemontools was in (if memory serves) 1996, before experience taught some very important lessons about the daemonization fallacy.

Not only can Daniel J. Bernstein's daemontools demonstrate some very important lessons, so can the humble ps command (which uses "status" not "stat"). The systemd people (and indeed, again, the humble ps command) can teach how to loop over all of the processes in a system without including process #1 and potentially issuing tens of thousands or even millions of open() and kill() system calls almost all of which are useless and fail. Daniel J. Bernstein's UCSPI and systemd's LISTEN_FDS mechanism can teach ways of telling programs about the inherited open file descriptors that they are to use, that will interoperate with existing tools such as fifo-listen.

And even Stack Overflow can teach the error of assuming that sizeof(bool) is 1. (-:
