I think I get what you're saying here. On some level, an object method is a function which takes an object of a particular type and returns a new object of the same type.

So if you have a function like

Rectangle GetRectangleWithWidth(Rectangle, double) {...}

Which is equivalent to a setter method like

Rectangle::SetWidth(double) {...}

You can do:

Rectangle r, r';

r' = GetRectangleWithWidth(r,2.0);

But in that case doing something like

Square s, s';

s' = GetRectangleWithWidth(s, 2.0);

makes no sense, and it's pretty clear why. The return value is wrong. You can use a subclass as an argument to a function, but you can't return a superclass and just assign it to a subclass. And if you have some function

void Operate(Rectangle& r) {
r = GetRectangleWithWidth(r, 2.0);
}

then passing in a square should be a syntax error and not compile. Although, I'm not sure what C++ would actually do in this case.
You can also do this by rewriting functions with a decorator.

It’s my understanding founders sometimes want to go back home while the VCs insist on SV. From the VC side, I wonder if the high burn is almost a plus: they need the founders to need a lot of money so the VCs can scoop up a higher percentage, and they need the founders to feel the monthly burn so they build something fast.
Hugo is still most convenient, at least for me and my workflow. I just pull it with homebrew, created my theme/template, write blogposts in Emacs org-mode (using ox-hugo), host it on GH pages for free, and use custom domain and free tier cloudflare.

In my view, QE's inflation happened before QE started. A significant purpose of QE was to prop up the loans made before the financial crisis. The inflation happened with the creation of trillions of dollars of securitized sub-prime housing loans. Rather than allowing those loans to default, the Fed is acting as a buyer of last resort through QE MBS purchases [0]. Without the Fed, much less money would be available for housing loans, and their prices would return to historical ratios to income [1, 2].

Maybe nitpicking here but Theil is not giving money away. He’s investing it as he is expecting a return.

This brings the topic of flexibility.

NYC DOT keeps stats on bike lanes, and per area of road used they serve more people than vehicle lanes do.

And I do agree with getting rid of many of the cars, and especially all that free public parking. You could easily have wider sidewalks and and bike lanes everywhere if you eliminated a side of parking on every road. As it is now over half the total road surface is allocated to parking, most of it free, which is just absurd.
> you're making it sound like not squatting will lead to your joints degenerating

I believe it will. Specifically, not squatting (or otherwise flexing it fully) will cause a person to lose the full range of motion in their ankles.

Of course, you may not care. You may have no NEED to flex your ankles past a certain point. But you ARE losing flexibility, just as you will lose the ability to do splits if you don't practice them regularly.

The brain needs to be very well rested to best absorb information. Even the least demanding job can leave one drained at the end of the day.

> Is this boredom and other psychological stresses responsible for the sexual offences committed by deployed troops?

I am really not the expert to provide a qualified answer to any of this. I can only speak to my own observations. My perspective is that of a US Army soldier. Everything that follows is only my personal opinion.

I have been deployed three times and only one of those times was sexual assault a significant concern. When a certain NATO ally left the area the problem essentially evaporated overnight. That change happened shortly after we arrived at the area. I am unaware of what that the motivating factor was.

Coincidentally, shortly before that NATO ally left (days before I arrived) there was also a notable incident. A seemingly unarmed victim was attacked at night by two people in civilian clothes. One of these people served as a distraction while the second clubbed the victim in the head from behind and then drug the victim to a nearby area that muffled sound. Shortly after that the victim regained consciousness and pulled out a very small knife hidden on their person. The victim was able to carve up one of the assailants legs leaving the second assailant to pull him to safety. The victim then walked to the hospital to be treated for the head injury and there reported the offense. I have no idea if this defensive action contributed to the immediate decline in following sexual assault incidents.

According to the documentary "The Invisible War" the US military forces have had a problem with sexual assault much higher than the comparative civilian world. The documentary does not directly or officially indicate a cause, but to me it looked like the documentary spelled out a specific cause: weak leadership. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invisible_War

> And if there is a way through which civilian governments can control it.

Never tolerate or condone sexual assault in any form. Always investigate reported incidents. Also, and this is important, punish people who are proven to be aware of incidents but fail to report them.

I don't think the main issue is what tool you use is, but rather where your master copy lives.

I was vigilant using txt/docs in a nice structured folder setup on a local server, but as I started using Google docs / Evernote / Trello, etc I found that information was no longer searchable in one place - despite copying and synching efforts, this is still the case.

So instead of fighting it and wasting a lot of time, I keep the metadata of my personal knowledge base as the 'master'.

For work projects - Trello using my work login and Outlook
For open source - github is the master knowledge base
Docs - currently Google docs, but soon moving to my own site.

So, I spent EUR 1799 on the new MacBook Pro.

The keyboard started missing keys and typing 2 characters per keystroke after two months. Then, the shift key started working only once ever three times. Battery would last 2 hours at the most.

I brought it to the Apple store. They ran tests and found out the battery was defective. So, they replaced the whole bottom case since the keyboard wasn't working, either.

After 3 days, the logic board died. All data was unrecoverable (sure, _I_ have backups, but not everyone does).

Went back to the Apple store, they replaced EVERYTHING. I put an ad and sell the laptop. The guy calls me 3 days later that the laptop died again (logic board).

Bad unity? Perhaps, but then again lots and lots of people compain about problems with the keyboard. They also replaced every single component, and it still failed.

That was my main computer, so I had to buy a shitty laptop while I was waiting days for them to repair it. The Asus worked GREAT. I could finally type, at least. I just sold it and in 6 months it never gave me one single problem. Battery was 5-6 hours under heavy load.

I just don't think Apple sells defect-free computers, or at least not what you'd expect after spending USD 2000. Of course, quality that delights comes after the thing actually working (tes, it's a computer so it's not acceptable to me that it barely looks pretty, I also have to use it for work).

I am now using a Chinese lqptop that I bought for 500 with hidpi touchscreen, fingerprint recognition, etc., and it actually works. I will buy the Surface Book as soon as I have some money to splurge.

> I'm still a little torn on the religious mechanics in 6, but it's certainly the most involved the series has ever made it

I think it is far too complicated for something that is entirely optional. In v6, you either do an early bet of going all-in on religion or you ignore it completely, just keeping in mind that a military intervention might be necessary if someone gets too close to a religious victory.

I'm generally not too fond of the multitude of victory conditions: space player vs religion player vs culture player isn't the most exciting game imho. Imagine a race where all the contestants run off in different directions, towards different goalposts. "It looked like it would become a close finish between the swimmer reaching Dover and the runner arriving at Athens, but then the weather changed and the cyclist got up Mount Ventoux much faster than expected, so he won", that's not how triathlon works.

That is wrong in multiple dimensions.

First, that the dollar in 1800 had the same worth as in 1914 is pure coincidence. Relative to 1800, it was

- 20% less in 1798

- 60% more in 1814

- 40% less in 1840s

- 50% more in the 1850s and so on. source: http://liberalarts.oregonstate.edu/sites/liberalarts.oregons...

Second: incomes changed. The dollar worth alone is meaningless without lookiing at the purchasing power of the population. In 1800, a farm worker earned 12$ a month, which are $300 in 2018 dollars, so today's farm workers obviously earn more, regardless of the dollar's value.

FWIW I've seen squating toilets installed in a brand new building in France 30 years ago (called Turkish toilets there). I had seen them in older buildings but asked why you'd use those in a brand new building. I was told that it was to save on cleaning time, that you can clean an entire room with many stalls with a broom and a hose in the same amount of time it takes to clean single stall that has a regular western toilet.

In the Netherlands we have a similar problems due to the "Wet Openbaarheid Bestuur" (Law of Open Administration)

Basically, you can request any non-sensitive information from any government agency and they have to provide it within a reasonable term or pay a fine to the requester.

This caused people to request all calibration reports of a speed camera if they got a ticket, because for quite some time the government would waive the ticket if you stopped the request.

When it got abused too widely they automated the process and now it's not a problem. This is also how large coorporations should handle this problem.

> Curious to know how long it takes for a person's mentally unhealthy characteristics to become evident in a combat zone.

If you are talking about unhealthy enough to create injurious situations I think that differs by the situation and stimulus present. I don't think there is a single uniform answer. Also, it really helps if there are people around to watch for dramatic shifts in behavior before it becomes self-destructive.

It is important to note that many people may silently suffer from exceedingly minor and undiagnosed mental health defects that they may not be aware of. When you are around people long enough these qualities become more observable. In my experience it takes as little as 2 to 3 months of observation to really identify it with some amount of fine precision and learn to your own communication skills to compensate for the identified personality qualities.

I have a professional mental health counselor in my family who insists as much as 40% of the population could benefit from some minor amount of behavior altering medication. I haven't observed numbers that high from deployment environments, but I have observed a higher number of individuals fitting this criteria than you might think.
