I don't care to get into a prolonged discussion of this as we are likely not gonna change each other's mind and I have to watch last night's episode of Westworld. Your use of "economic imperialism" has an inherently negative connotation which leads me to believe you also view these policies as inherently malice (i.e. nefarious intent). My point was that I believe the failings of our aid/development policies is more easily attributed to competing/overlapping bureaucracies than any pols malice intent. JFK establish USAID to help feed the hungry and it has a done a pretty good job (failings and all). I never stated that US policies weren't problematic but I'd put the values of our county over China's all day.

Well, the lift on the wingtip is going to make it fold up. In the worst case, I guess it might break off, but it's a very small part of the wing, and it presumably doesn't contain fuel tanks. Chances of it damaging the inboard section have to be quite small and I wouldn't be surprised if the hinge is designed to cope with the forces involved.

For comparison, see these stories of aircraft flying safely with a much larger wing area unintentionally folded: https://theaviationist.com/2014/02/19/us-navy-fighters-folde...
I'm currently doing something similar and wanted to give 3 pieces of advice to anyone wanting to do similar:

1. Don't buy a 2 or 3 octave keyboard like I did.

2. Synthesia is great. Guitar hero for a midi keyboard.

3. musictheory.net is a great interactive way to learn some basics.

My learning is mainly geared towards producing for games, so I thought I could get away with a 25 key keyboard, but I regret it a lot.
There is a LOT of room in the country for growth, as you mention, and most of it has more room to expand and is starting from a much cheaper price point.

Notions like wave-particle duality, virtual particles "popping in and out", etc. aren't input assumptions. They're metaphors that come out of the equations, which are precise and well-founded. These have a useful role as levers to spur intuition, but ought not to be confused with the theories themselves.

It turns out questions like "what is a photon" are not that simple. For example, the very phrase: "a photon." Well, the particle number is an operator which is subject to the uncertainty principle and doesn't commute with other measurements, so already you're at risk... Our intuition misleads us in the quantum realm.

Only problem is, those commands are useless. COPY won't back up a directory tree. You need XCOPY. Oops, XCOPY chokes for weird reasons and terminates with a strange error message because a path was more than 255 bytes. It needs a bazillion options to do the equivalent of GNU's "cp -a". If you go online to get help with this, the best advice you get is to download and install something called RoboCopy.

Yeah, but I can understand this mindset. Like, I think about home maintenance. Some screw-ups are no big deal and some of them I'm going to do a lot of damage and need help fixing it. I'm not exactly gung-ho about knocking walls down with a sledge hammer without knowing what I'm doing.

Now, you might answer that you can't really break anything that badly with software, but I'd say that's not right. I could delete documents I needed with no way to recover them, or end up with ransomware, or end up putting my credit card number somewhere I shouldn't have, or whatever, and I'll likely be bewildered and unsure what happened, if I don't know anything about computers.
A lot of people had that problem, but it never really bothered me. My other favorite phone was the iPhone 4, though, so at least I'm consistent. ;)

Nazism and its asides are not merely mildly antisocial behavior. Nazism is a pathology, it is the declaration of the intent to commit violence, and repping Nazi symbols makes you a goddamn Nazi. I believe that communities and societies have the right and the duty to defend themselves against clearly communicated threats of violence. Germany and countries with similar antifascist and anti-Nazi legal strictures have the right of it.
>Perhaps no property taxes would more highly encourage local owners to restrict newcomers

Bingo. Rampant NIMBYism. Also growing the local economy should be the priority for local governments not creating a housing bubble

There is an argument that can be made that people who cannot afford to live in prime real estate in an economic powerhouse should sell their house and move somewhere else to enable growth or allow more housing to be built. But picking neither is not a productive outcome
Law doesn't work in absolutes, we have judges for a reason.

What laws have you been reading? The whole basis of law is that it must be absolute - otherwise people don’t know how to follow it. People are both exonerated and convicted every day of serious crimes based on nothing more than technicalities (“absolutes”), even when the legal outcome is in direct conflict with the spirit of the law.

>But (afaik) measuring means disturbing, because you have to exchange some energy with the system in order to perform the measurement.

This isn't necessarily true; QM allows what's called interaction-free measurement. Say you have a particle that's in a superposition of two states (or places, or whatever), which I'll call A and B. You do something that'll interact (and detect) it if it's in A. If you didn't detect it, that means you've effectively measured it as being in B.

You can also turn it around, and use a particle in a superposition to see if an object (that it would interact with if it's in state A) exists; if the object exists, the possibility of interacting with it will destroy interference effects between the parts of the particle's superposition, allowing you to infer the existence of the object. The Elitzur–Vaidman bomb tester (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elitzur–Vaidman_bomb_tester) is an extreme example of this: it lets you verify that a bomb is "live" (will explode if interacted with), with only a 50% chance of setting it off.

Another example is the interaction-free version of the quantum Zeno effect. The quantum Zeno effect is that (under the right circumstances) a particle can be trapped in a particular state by continuously measuring whether it's still in the state. In the interaction-free version, you use something that'll interact if the particle ever leaves the state... and it never does. This has actually been done; see https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms7811?WT.ec_id=NCOMMS-2...

> is that the scientists are not standing back and looking at all the assumptions they use

Plenty of physicists do exactly this. I have seen a number of physics papers that center around re-thinking or re-deriving basic assumptions. What gave you the impression otherwise?

By the way, if you're inferring anything at all about the field via popular science articles, please don't. They are almost always extremely misleading.
Sure they do. What if I do want to share the same struct between packages? I need both of my dependencies to share the same version of their dependant packages.

I don't think I understand what you're getting at. In ruby I can say I depend on a version > 1.2.0 and some other project could use my package and use version 1.2.1, thus altering my dependency. Bundler lets me do that because it makes assumptions about what version numbers mean.

The lock file makes sure this only changes when I want it too, but semver is an integral part of the system
That sounds like it could benefit from Design by Contract since it tells you in a lightweight way what a function will do. I actually submitted something like that to Lobste.rs recently when collecting all the implementations of contracts I could in various languages. Here's that one:

Can't brake pad material also adhere to the surface of the rotor as well, requiring that they be turned to remove the material? I think that's what people mean when they talk about the rotor being "glazed," a related problem to what you're talking about. This is all a potentially expensive repair.
The part about memorizing rote steps is roughly what you would expect from any kind of beginner in any field or skill set. But the part about being all tentative seems like a difference between a beginner who is older and one who is a little kid. The old person has spent a lifetime learning that rash actions can have bad consequences, while the kid hasn't yet. In other words the kid doesn't know or care about breaking the computer, and so probably learns faster as a result. (Good thing it's hard to break the computer and the consequences are usually nil. Wouldn't necessarily recommend the same approach for something like base-jumping or neurosurgery.)

I wonder how much it would help these people if you framed it more as an interaction with a person. Which it is. For example, telling them things like "OK so the programmer who wrote this told the computer to grab that bit you just typed, and display it for you over here [point, point] for your reference." In other words I wonder whether knowing a little about what's going on inside the thing, and the fact that it was just some silly ordinary dufus that wrote the software, helps a person like that be a better end-user.

If even one competitor has GDPR compliance, it means they are willing to stand behind their business in a way you are afraid to. Think of it this way: Which likely makes a better tool, a company with a 30 day return policy or one with a lifetime warranty?

You are afraid of the 20 million euro fine. Whatever your business is that you don't want to share, I'm sure you have a competitor that will be GDPR compliant. And I'll know which one is afraid to put their money where their mouth is.

Put another way, any service that is GDPR compliant is providing me a 20 million euro warranty, and you're providing me a 0 euro one. Which is more trustworthy?

And no, everyone isn't going to block the EU.
I don't need to look up any of that to say that Sweden isn't being fearmongering. It could be a 100% true, but Russia still showed it was willing to invade and annex a neighbor, so it's rational to prepare defenses against them if you are in their neighborhood. This isn't a Russia bad, US is good thing. This is a reasonable response to any large power within range of you that has shown the desire to use military might to achieve their goals.
You are right: signatures do not encompass behavior. Some other examples I have observed:

What if the implementation of some (signature-identical) function changed its performance characteristics dramatically, such that it was no longer valid for use in certain scenarios (i.e. something that previously checked the filesystem now makes a costly query against a remote database)?

What if a function that was previously thread-safe changed, and became non-thread-safe?

What about changes in space (memory) consumed by a function?

These aren't rare classes of behavior change, and they certainly aren't rare pathologies for bugs. And, at least in Go, there's no easy way to encode them in the signatures and/or memory layout of your package in such a way that two non-identical versions can be tested for compatibility automatically. These aren't edge cases.
Many package managers interpret semver in a similarly mechanical way, e.g. npm, bundler, cargo (and, I think, elm-package, and I'm sure others too), but they choose different versions based on that information.
Ask HN: Site that aggregates the “X% of Google users liked this movie”?

In general, my opinion regarding machine learning and, in fact, also other tasks, is that Prolog is no less suitable to implement or teach these approaches than - for example - Python, which is currently often used in these areas. Dedicated libraries for machine learning are available and can be written for Prolog as well as for any other language, and Prolog of course also lets you easily interact with other programs via pipes and sockets.

So, yes, I agree: Prolog may well be suitable for this! In practice, for statistics-based methods, the core logic will likely be carried out by dedicated hardware which you may have to program in its own language. Prolog may still play a part also with such approaches, for example to generate test cases and correctness certificates, and as a rule-based safety measure to prevent certain situations from happening.
Most people think they are in control and don't realize how much personal information they're giving away. They know facebook has their posts but they don't realize facebook knows every site they visit that has a like button. The fact that this is even possible is because your browser developer doesn't care about your privacy.

Then there is the issue that they don't realize what companies can do with their data. They thinks it's all relatively innocent and don't realize it can be used for things like price discrimination.

So users might be partly responsible, but big tech is still doing a lot of un-consented to tracking.

But, my point is that my kids lose all their confidence and all their patience, and they become tentative and fearful. They show all the same symptoms that were mis-attributed to age in the above comments.

On a game console, my kids are not afraid to explore every menu and push every button. In a text interface, they are lost and they don't try things. They seem to learn slowly and they don't seem to listen to instruction because of how different text UIs are from the GUIs they know. When I get a new text interface, I know all kinds of things to try, and I do so without much fear.

FWIW, that quote's context is far from how it's often used today.

> WITTES: The exact quotation, which is from a letter that Franklin is believed to have written on behalf of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, reads, those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

> SIEGEL: And what was the context of this remark?

> WITTES: He was writing about a tax dispute between the Pennsylvania General Assembly and the family of the Penns, the proprietary family of the Pennsylvania colony who ruled it from afar. And the legislature was trying to tax the Penn family lands to pay for frontier defense during the French and Indian War. And the Penn family kept instructing the governor to veto. Franklin felt that this was a great affront to the ability of the legislature to govern. And so he actually meant purchase a little temporary safety very literally. The Penn family was trying to give a lump sum of money in exchange for the General Assembly's acknowledging that it did not have the authority to tax it.

> SIEGEL: So far from being a pro-privacy quotation, if anything, it's a pro-taxation and pro-defense spending quotation.

> WITTES: It is a quotation that defends the authority of a legislature to govern in the interests of collective security. It means, in context, not quite the opposite of what it's almost always quoted as saying but much closer to the opposite than to the thing that people think it means.
> Personally, I think the best option is to encourage the high growth companies in tech/finance/media to create secondary headquarters in nearby secondary cities that are ready to handle higher density growth (i.e high density residential and light rail systems, etc.).

We already tried that. Google, Apple, etc. located themselves in the small orchard towns of Mountain View and Cupertino instead of the big San Francisco. San Jose responded by building up its downtown, anchored by Adobe, and investing in light rail. A similar story played out in L.A., with media companies moving to Burbank.

This didn't solve the problem. There's really no way around building housing.

That's why most states have an emissions test (to address the negative externality that individual drivers don't feel a cost to emit pollutants, but society does pay that cost) and a safety test. Most states do not have a general mechanical test.
