Have you or anyone you know tried making it by on with a 'normal' job through adversity?

The hiccups and bumps that life can throw at us have gone higher and higher in price. Health benefits were basically a given for my parents growing up, even when working in retail full time. Now, most places play HR shenanigans to avoid having to offer either those benefits, or enough wage for the worker to afford them themselves. Paying out of pocket is even more destructive in the sense that without an insurer backing you up, you end up having to fight shifty pricing practices on your own, where the insurance company devotes entire departments to it.

Or how bout that iPhone? Increasingly, the non-digital Rolodex is becoming an anachronism. Contact information and the ability to communicate at "normal" rates results in increased dependence on technology that is being priced inordinately high.

Or how about drug companies buying old drugs long proven and jacking up prices. Or keeping new drugs from being generic'd to bring down prices?

Or how about those bankers, and real estate firms buying up and developing land purely for rent seeking?

How about that lack of SERIOUS financial education, and an increasingly skewed and asymmetric job market where companies are paying 1970's wages, but raking in 20XX revenues?

Tried learning how to fix your car and maintain equipment that has become increasingly unfriendly to user service?

I get your message. Don't pretend it is all their fault though. The System they have to work from is pretty gnarly, and very few have any precious idea how to navigate it surefire. Even the more "Well-to-do" who have done everything right can end up with sudden massive reversals of fortune.

Before you start calling an ENTIRE generation out for having messed up priorities, remember that the priorities that lead to success had their foundations set by those that came before, and not even THOSE foundations are guaranteed to remain relevant.

The whole world seems to have this idea that there is an entitlement to greatness. The elders for the work they've done, and the youngsters from youthful inexperience.

A humble, self-sufficient life doesn't even occur to many as an option anymore, and becomes less and less probable as tech and globalised economies of scale begin to maximize around fiscal success as a proxy to improving human quality of life.

But hey, life and big picture thinking is hard and making dismissive excuses instead of recognizing our own parts we play of the problems we face as a species/society is easy, right?

Aren't there just more PHEV than BEV models, so each individual model faces more competition? If you start adding up PHEVs, they overtake Tesla pretty quickly (and the rest of the BEVs look more like rounding errors anyway).

Then, of course, there is the market distortion of (US at least) tax credits for electric vehicles. Once those disappear sales numbers might look different yet again.

> But the problem with that is not so much that it creates a market for old airplanes but rather that airplane certifications don’t expire

It seems to me that the problem here is that new airplanes are cost prohibitive. Your solution to light aircraft safety is to make the majority of light aviation illegal or too expensive to function, like solving the problem of unstylish watches by outlawing anything cheaper than a Rolex.

People seem to have the impression that GA has to be safer than driving, or safer than some other benchmark, before the safety level is acceptable. I am perfectly willing to accept some risk (the raw rate of fatality per ground mile is about 20x higher for GA vs. driving) even as a passenger, and I don't see why the FAA should be in the business of determining what risk is acceptable to passengers. I think the FAA's primary responsibility should be to the broader public, who experience the same risks on the ground regardless of how much or little GA they buy, rely on, or associate with.

Some of the FARs make a lot of sense in this regard, for example the rules for single-occupant ultralight aircraft (including powered paragliders), and ideally a similarly pragmatic approach can be applied to other questions in aviation regulation.
For vgo there is an explicit goal is to avoid NP-completeness for some reason. Systems of not-equals are NP-hard (trivially models 3-colouring), so allowing not-equals constraints on package versions is a non-starter if the stated goals of vgo are to be maintained.

Personally I think that some kind !=-requirements are needed for package managers just for this case, and thus the choice of dependency resolution approach vgo has is wrong IMHO.
Sorry, it seems that i explained my ideas badly.

This is exactly what i am saying - it is economically suboptimal. They will be there until they are profitable.

But problem not in the land price itself, but also waiting for 3 years until you will be able to start new construction, this delay will increase actual price of this piece of land up to 30%.

There are many ways to reduce this delay.

I notice the same thing. At least in my experience, I think it's generational experience not age or ignorance. I'll use my father as an example. He grew up poor, having to build or fix things for his family. Guy could build anything, build and rebuild engines, appliances, even electronics. But what these all have in common...they aren't interactive, at all. It's a process, and even a tiny mistake can ruin the entire thing or get yourself hurt. Compound that with being told as a kid not to touch expensive things (say, TV) or you'll break it, dangers of being shocked by capacitors, etc. In the end I think you end up with people who really are scared of computers. It's a new way of thinking (interactive vs process), and years of fear of breaking expensive things. Compound that further from experiences of trying to use a computer freely, getting scammed or getting a virus, getting gouged for money by Geek Squad and losing all their files/bookmarks...of course they're afraid of messing up. Just my opinion, of course, I have no hard data to back it up.

Ok so there’s a privacy policy on this website and a standard “we use cookies” header but where is the consent management platform that’s supposed to let me review all the purposes and vendors used on the site so I can choose which ones I want to give consent to and which ones I don’t.
The https://github.com/appnexus/cmp appnexus cmp is the only cmp I’ve found that’s open source and provides a clear reference to what GDPR means as far as integrating the actual GDPR spec for an euconsent signal, a UI for managing consent, and deferring cookies/data-collection until after consent. Gdpr goes into effect in 4 days and I still haven’t seen any CMPs integrated in the wild. Has anybody?

Agreed. There's no reason why Microsoft - a software and hardware maker - couldn't be more like (or even supercede) Apple in this regard - i.e. treat the user as the customer not the product.

Further to that (without wanting to be cynical), it's probably also easier for MS to avoid the potentially complex jurisdictional issues that GDPR raises. One privacy code-base to rule them all.
One thing that bugs me a about the discussion of evolution in general is it tends to get treated as a smooth process influence mostly by the environment but DNA is essentially digital code for building bodies and probably the Cambrian was kicked off by some mutation a bit like a code refactor that allowed a lot of body variation subsequently by the changing of a few base pairs.

A bit like, in a loose analogy the old code was

print "protein"; print "protein"

and the new code was

for i=1 to 2 {print "protein"}

so that in the second case a single mutation in the "2" could result in a wide variety of body sizes.

Consent not freely given is not consent w.r.t. GDPR, so legally I'm not sure what the point is other than baiting the data protection agencies.

So just because you agree doesn't mean it's binding, especially if it's unlawful. E.g. in Germany, contracts presented after purchase are void (EULAs), and you can't sign away your "Urheberrecht", or author's rights - which has interesting implications for copyright licenses. However, the regulators will take a very dim view on such behaviour. I don't know what they're trying to accomplish.
I'm inclined to agree with the other reply to this comment, from cepth. That said, your opinion is well-supported by today's ruling that upholds employment contracts that require binding arbitration for legal disputes, despite overwhelming evidence that arbitration is biased against workers.

The pro-arbitration view is a conservative opinion: that contracts should be as unregulated as possible.

Already there is pressure to remove arbitration from white-collar employment contracts (Uber notably gave into pressure from womens engineering advocacy groups, lead by Susan Fowler).

Lower-wage workers, however, will likely see an expansion of arbitration clauses, as will general consumer contracts. If I understand correctly, all cell phone carriers now require legal rights be waived in place of arbitration in order to get service.
Ideally, the rule of law decides.

Unfortunately it very often is susceptible to political and economic influences. And the courts are not in the streets, where the attacks happen. Far too often the police turn a blind eye to right wing incitement and violence (due to a large number of sympathizers in the police), so sometimes direct action is the only way to show fascists and other hatemongers the error of their ways.

i don't think that's been said.

false. or i guess we'll exclude most of quantum mechanics and dozens of other things few people are knowledgeable about.

"for a topic area that someone out there cares enough to brigade in the fashion you describe, there surely must also exist a non-obsessive set of users capable of moderating the page without making hundreds of edits per person to it."

Since you just moved here, I would also consider the "whys" of those problems you see. Approaches are probably different from what you're used to elsewhere, but that doesn't necessarily make them inefficient or bad -- just different from what you're used to.

> In my experience, learning Prolog properly requires dedicated guidance, and it would be highly unusual to achieve mastery without it.

There are two readings of this sentence. An unkind spirit might think you are saying that Prolog books cannot make you a master for some inherent reason related to Prolog, independent of any book. Whereas I would say that there is no inherent reason, it's just that currently existing Prolog books cannot make you a master because they are simply not very good. Or in other words, yes, guidance may be needed. But can it really not be guidance from a book?

No:

1. You can choose to have the keys encrypted with a password (same for Windows as for Linux)

2. The key, whether encrypted or unencrypted, are for both platforms stored on disk in the user profile (see first screenshot)

3. This talks about ssh-agent, which you can use to cache the the unencrypted key so that you don't have to type the encryption password every time you want to use the key. On Linux, this is just stored in memory, whereas in Windows, it's stored (encrypted) in the registry as well.

Most concretely I mean it in the context of the common auxiliary-predicate-with-an-accumulator pattern:

foo_bar(Foo, Bar) :-
foo_bar_aux(Foo, Bar, 0).

foo_bar_aux(Foo, Bar, N) :-
...

Which in a language like OCaml would be hiding the loop in a recursive function defined inside the main one:

let foo_bar foo =
let rec foo_bar_aux n =
...
in
foo_bar_aux 0

So yes, I think this is what you mean by being the same predicate rather than a "change of scopes".

Of course there are many loop-like things that you can nest. If the arguments align just right, you can also use `maplist(maplist(maplist(baz)), ...)` instead of three auxiliary predicates, but I don't encounter many cases where this is possible or desirable.

The reason why the Cambrian was considered special and was often referenced as an "evolutionary explosion" was because the pace/rate of speciation is abnormally high during that period only.

If you take your hypothesis for example, it may explain the explosion (rapidity) of the evolution of new species but it still doesn't offer viable reasons why the explosion was isolated to that period only.

(Just an amusing side note: my God-believing and evolution-denying BIL uses the evidence of the Cambrian explosion to suggest that no scientist can explain why there was an explosion of diverse species is such a short time - it had to be "God's hand". "Only a creator can do such a thing". I must admit, until the arrival of my BIL, the Cambrian period was of mild interest to me. I now read about it with "special interest".

Odds of winning at trial/appeals depends heavily on the aggressiveness of the laws on the books and on the folks judging the cases. Various quasi-fraudulent business practices have been normalized and legalized by legislative and judicial action over the past 2 generations, while the rights of consumers and workers have been steadily eroded.

Available money at the top (for legal defense, lobbying, etc.) depends on the level of income inequality, which in turn depends on income/estate tax rates, minimum wage, allowable structures for corporate boards, allowable terms of contracts, legality of monopolistic business practices, etc.

Political will from the top of the DOJ depends somewhat on the president’s personality. The era of Teddy Roosevelt or FDR or Lyndon Johnson is long past; the Democrats to hold office have been the type to favor moderation and compromise, and the Republicans since Nixon have been firmly pro-corporate, often bordering on fascist, embroiled in their own criminal conspiracies for which they have largely avoided any direct consequence. But it also depends on whether the president feels beholden to donors or can take an aggressive message directly to the public. With unlimited anonymous campaign money, who can afford to piss off CEOs or Saudi princes?

We observe certain things, the interpretation is the question. I am in no way saying that duality should be swept under the rug, but rather have the entire interpretation and information held up to the light to see what other information can be brought to bear to the problems this duality give rise to.

As I intimated, should the observations that give rise to the interpretation that there are "virtual" particles that pop in and out of existence be brought to bear on this particular problem? There are those who would have you believe that the quantum vacuum is not empty but full of these "virtual" particles. Does this idea give any explanation to why we see a wave phenomena? Or this there something else that might give a better handle on the subject matter.

Is how we measure adding additional things that give rise to the effects we see? There are so many questions that I do not see being asked.

We should not be confusing the evidence we see with the interpretation we come up with. Too often, the interpretation of the facts is treated as if it is the fact.

That's not true.

Of the 15 most popular light aircraft models built in 2015, only one was introduced in the 1950s: the Cessna 172. And even that one underwent a pretty substantial overhaul in 1998. The most popular light plane sold in 2015 was the Cirrus SR22 with 270 units sold. The SR22 debuted in 2001.

"The universe seems to like talking to itself faster than the speed of light,” said Steinberg. “I could understand a universe where nothing can go faster than light, but a universe where the internal workings operate faster than light, and yet we’re forbidden from ever making use of that at the macroscopic level — it’s very hard to understand.”

This can only lead to one conclusion: the Universe is a computer program. We can observe some of the side effects of the underlying computer, but we cannot use it from inside the simulation.

By that reason they were nobody's nukes. Ukraine was a successor state of the USSR, and operational control of the weapons was a technological matter, not a political matter. The weapons delivery systems (missiles and heavy bombers) were located in Ukraine, as were the development and production chains.

In other words, the actual people who built the missiles would simply swap out an electronic control component to acquire operation control of the devices. These are the same people who voted >90% for Ukrainian independence and who distrusted the other large USSR successor state, Russia.
