Interesting perspective, and your view seems to favor Tesla. Honestly, I just don't know, and expert opinions seem to vary right now. It's hard to remember a time when it was harder to see the ultimate winner in such an important space.
Spending more than 4% of the endowment would be highly irresponsible. The entire point of an endowment is to not decline in value over time—they should consistently spend less than investment returns annually.
A complimentary factor may be the lower capital requirements to get something off the ground these days.

Is Apple wrong here? I mean, this is obviously a bad thing that should be fixed, but ultimately it amounts to a DoS against the machine and does not grant any privileges or expose any data to the attacker. I can see why Apple might say it's not a "security" issue.
I’m not sure to understand (and again stackexchange is a better place to seek advices) but I still think it doable. If I get you right you just have to put the aggregate function inside a CASE instead of the opposite.

One limitation of an aggregate function is that you can’t nest aggregate function in the same SELECT clause. But you can perfectly nest it inside a non-aggregate expression.
I'd love to hear a comparison to features provided by pip-tools. Managing the pyenv is nice, but not at the expense of giving up the ability to auto-update and remove stale dependencies from a requirements.txt file. Is this something pipenv can handle at this point?

Wow, thank you! This is great feedback!
Despite the downvotes, the point seems valid on its surface. We should expect a losing day this bad or worse more frequently than once per year, which doesn’t sound that scary.

On the other hand, I wouldn’t expect losing days to be evenly distributed (in the short to medium term at least) but rather clumped together.

So contradict yourself. It's a feature, I guess.
Childcare was just as exorbitant in my hometown with its glut of real estate (due to being a shadow of its 20th century industrial peak). In many places you’re allowed to run a small childcare facility out of your house (the one permitted commercial use in residential zones). I don’t think the facilities costs can explain it either.
Not everyone agrees on this but an improper ability to cause a DOS is pretty widely considered to be a type of security issue.

> This approach is much more powerful than the Unix style of mounting.

It occurred to me I should provide a qualifier here. Single-tree Unix pathnames have one very powerful property that qualified schemes from the 1980s lack: self-similarity at every level of the directory hierarchy. This is why filesystem virtualization schemes like loop devices (CD and disk images, and things like EncFS), chroot, and overlays are possible and work so well. The 1980s schemes did not support these use cases and were more tedious to type out, and they rightly died out. But it is not either-or: TRAMP shows that you can have Unix pathnames for your local machine and qualified pathnames for when you need to specify where/how to access files.
> It comes with its own trade offs. I don’t know that adding a build step and tightly coupling your styling with your DOM counts as “fixing” css, but I suppose it all depends on your perspective.

It is a fix. While creatively combining CSS rules to accomplish layouting is a tenant of past CSS history, it was terrible for coding in the language itself. Using tables for layouting or vertical centering hacks is the same kind of pain as using single letter characters for all your variables.

In the same way, using flexible selectors to select any grouping globally was historically a positive feature of CSS, but we've done it enough to know that it creates extremely painful bugs related to improper scope and needless amounts of copy paste code fixes. The real fix is properly scoping css, which is what BEM is about, but what modular components does better.

You don't find this to be bias confirmation? What we have is a female skeleton buried with a couple of horses, some weaponry, and some games. That's it. They use this to declare the individual a warrior. It's possible, but it's also complete speculation. Most peculiar, to me, is that that paper and the wiki entry [1] make no mention of the outfit that the skeleton was wearing. It was surrounded by weapons, not equipped with such. Speculating in another direction, did Vikings hold funery rights for those whose corpses could not be recovered? That would likely be a semi-regular event be it from falling on campaign, in battle, or even just being lost at sea. For individuals of high rank, which this grave obviously indicates, human sacrifice was on occasion part of funery rights.

So for instance one of the first things I'd be curious about is the skeleton's diet. This sounds incredible, but there's actually precedent for this [2]. In that study they were able to relatively compare diets noting similarities between the common class, contrasted against the elite class. If I'm going to go against Occam's Razor (and the lack of any meaningful evidence for female viking warriors makes this paper's assumption very much this) I'm going to try to disprove my hypothesis in every practical way. Why was none of this done to at least ensure the person was not a beloved slave/lover/wife of some sort? It seems the only examining the authors of that paper took out was to determine if there was indication of trauma or damage of the skeleton, as might be evidence of battle. They found that the skeleton had not been damaged in battle.

Finally, let me conclude with a little quote from that paper: "Do weapons necessarily determine a warrior? The interpretation of grave goods is not straight forward, but it must be stressed that the interpretation should be made in a similar manner regardless of the biological sex of the interred individual." I think this is illogical. The entire goal of science is to formulate the most probable hypothesis with consideration to all evidence available. The fact that this corpse is a female radically changes the probabilities. If you find the corpse you somehow know to be a well nourished Nazi inside a holocaust mass grave, would you assume he was there for different reasons than the other corpses around him? Obviously. Your interpretation can and should change with every bit of data you discover.

So, cross-referencing works even for a simple stupid like this, imagine what people can do with advanced methods.

In mammals, epigenetic information is needed from both parents. Its thought that this epigenetic information is kind of a negotiation between the survival/growth traits of male DNA, and the resource strain put on the female during embryonic development and child-rearing. Kind of like a product feature request list being paired down for production delivery.

It looks like there is some evidence, from mice experiments, that epigenetic information could be synthesized to induce asexual reproduction in mammals. I also found a recent gene editing technique to directly edit mice epigenomes, in theory that might be a path to design an asexual mouse, or another asexual mammal.

REPLs are nice, don't get me wrong, but they are by nature single entrance, single exit. You are basically riding shotgun on a single unit test. You get a great view along the way, but the problem solving doesn't scale, nor can it handle situations where you need to consider multiple paths through the code. Writing a good test suite, and knowing just where and how to place debug trace statements are two of my best problem solving skills.
So everyone else should be governed? But not you?

Look up the meaning of "govern." It almost literally means "telling people what to do." You're a person. The government will tell you what to do with your business. That's it's only job. It's the sole reason it exists.

I worked at a Blockbuster for a few years right about when video was on the way out and DVD was on the way in.

I don't think we screwed customers. A new release was $5 (AUS) for a night, that's hardly extortion. Almost all of our profit was made on new releases in their first week. The rest of the stock in the shop turned an almost insignificant profit and merely existed to buff the selection a bit and keep people in the store.

Late fees were an annoying issue but a necessary evil when you only have X units of stock and if they aren't returned you can't rent them out again. We were pretty lenient on reducing late fees to sensible amounts but some people were terrible at bringing things back and incurred ridiculous fees.

Physical rentals are a pain. On top of the X units issue, you have to keep them in good rentable condition and customers weren't very obliging on that front either. Digital delivery makes so much more sense now that we have the bandwidth to acommodate it. I can see a small market might still exist, but you can't afford to scale it anymore. Blockbuster was always going to die.

> but it seems incredible that the childcare certificate regime could be so difficult that it prevents legions of un/underemployed workers from meeting the extreme demand for childcare services.

One big factor is the number of convicted felons, ~10% for the general population and significantly higher for the un/underemployed, that's a huge amount of the potential workforce gone. Another win for the war on drugs.
There are probably too many variables for us to speculate "what would have happened" in this situation.

My comment is this: Generally and overwhelmingly, when a group of people is more interconnected and those connections are stronger, "bad" behavior gets found out and stopped faster. I think that's true of any group of people.

Of course, "bad" = unacceptable to the group itself.

Someone telling you "I did this bad thing" is not the only way for you to find out. I think if a child knows there is a way out, that there other people who care enough to take effective action, they might be more likely to tell someone. But often there is no one who cares that much. Teachers, neighbors, other parents, they're all "nice" but they aren't invested.

What I'm talking about is a deep relationship, and that isn't a function of time spent together, or any other concrete fact. It's organic and emotional.

We can grow those relationships if we choose to. I feel this is the only way to actually solve a lot of social problems that have been going on for decades now. Shooters, internet trolling, bullying, abuse, molestation, those people who pop up every year or so who have been hiding 15 children in a basement..etc

Be careful creating a market or a bounty as it creates a perverse incentive toward intentionally introducing it to news areas.
I think you might be replying to someone else - I didn't suggest you were in the top 1% wealth-wise; just had the potential to be 'wealthy'?

Responding to a few individual points:

Take the 100k amount -> after tax income is ~65k
Double that for a couple ("household wealth") = 130k
housing = 36k (3k a month)
living costs = 30k (based on the fact plenty of people with much lower salaries live in London)
savings = 64k

It'd take a little under 11 years for 64k of savings per annum to hit 1M, using long-term index returns, and less than 16 years with no compounding.

If you have a mortgage, two thirds of your housing costs would also be going to 'savings' i.e. increasing your wealth - that's another 24k a year, which would also compound pretty rapidly.

So you could be increasing your household net worth by around 90k per year, which would rapidly put you near the top of the wealth distribution.

Regardless, none of this talk about your high income and low-or-not wealth refutes the fact that you are far from the median or mode, which is the entire point of the comment you were responding to... "drawing conclusions from that is meaningless as vast majority of millennials are financially struggling to even think about that."

<table> was built for displaying tables.

But table layouts just happened to be very similar to grid layouts, which was what web developers wanted in the first place but CSS as a language didn't explicitly support.

Flexbox was built for dynamic grid layouts, and is a huge step above display:table, creating rules that are explicitly meant to do what you could somewhat hack with table rules.

CSS has this strange acceptance of hacks being a part of the language when it shouldn't be. The fact that you vertically center things with pos: absolute, top: -50%, and it is considered normal is abnormal for a language. Good language design is not to find hacks that allow you to accomplish your goal (robust layouting) - its to fix the language to give you a proper toolkit to accomplish your goal.

How to approach learning a new technology
""It is concentration of capitals already formed, destruction of their individual independence, expropriation of capitalist by capitalist, transformation of many small into few large capitals.... Capital grows in one place to a huge mass in a single hand, because it has in another place been lost by many.... The battle of competition is fought by cheapening of commodities. The cheapness of commodities demands, caeteris paribus, on the productiveness of labour, and this again on the scale of production. Therefore, the larger capitals beat the smaller. It will further be remembered that, with the development of the capitalist mode of production, there is an increase in the minimum amount of individual capital necessary to carry on a business under its normal conditions. The smaller capitals, therefore, crowd into spheres of production which Modern Industry has only sporadically or incompletely got hold of. Here competition rages.... It always ends in the ruin of many small capitalists, whose capitals partly pass into the hands of their conquerors, partly vanish."
