"The utility will also spend $236.3 million on infrastructure and rebates to support electric trucks, buses and other medium or heavy-duty vehicles. Southern California Edison will spend up to $342.6 million on similar efforts."

So, mostly corporate welfare.

"place an emphasis on installing charging stations in disadvantaged communities or in facilities — such as ports — that tend to be located near low-income neighborhoods."

But they are going to dispense the corporate welfare in the general vicinity of poor people, so the poor people can get some vicarious enjoyment out of watching people who are already rich eat a free lunch.

Why Isn't There a Tech Talent Transfer Market for Employees
I have been wondering if we could build a Tech Talent Transfer Market (TTTM) just like that of sports industry, where a company may buy a hot employee for hundreds of millions of dollars (or any currency)to their company, in this market any employee may enlist himself/herself as willing to transfer and companies may start bidding for the employee.The payment will be made to the employee's company. This are just my thoughts, state whatever you think about it or notify me of the existence of something like it.
I am perfectly comfortable saying that there are groups that don't deserve a specific type of representation in parliament because of ideological differences between them and the mainstream of the Canadian public.

They are welcome to participate in democracy and do the hard work to get their ideas into the mainstream of Canadian public opinion but they are not "entitled" to a system that gives them representation in a specific way. One should be honest with oneself about how representative democracy works and not pretend that the purpose is to have every hair-brained idea at the table.

Democracy doesn't start and stop with elections.
They recently removed User Agent and CSRF token from signature creation process. Right now used only rhx_gis parameter and URL decoded variables from query string to generate MD5 signature.
However, your findings about user agents looks interesting. I assume they may use user agent to generate rhx_gis. It could explain why auth doesnt work if you change single char in user agent.
Your example is not the same as the one in the comment you replied to. You picked a product hostname. The example was an infrastructure hostname.

With over 80M US consumers we have a real shot to be _the_ financial app of the future. So much more to do with so much progress already.

It can be done with much less actually.

Complete AOSP upto Oreo requires about 95GiB for just the sources + 40-50GiB for each version build.

But most of that repo history is not necessary if all you want to do is build one version. Just clone that one version to depth 1. Nougat weighed in at around
13-14GiB. Add the 40-50GiB for build, and about 70GiB is enough.

For every unprovable true statement about the integers, you can find a set of "non-integers" that has all the properties of integers that are provable, and in addition the unprovable statement is false.

I don't think a formal system can be said to capture the integers if it also allows such "non-integers".
Note that from the preface these notes are based on a half year high school course. The high school certainly was a specialized math high school. Soviet education was superb.

I’ve perused the notes and they heavily rely on problem solving to learn the material. It seems like a Moore method style of exposition which I really like. Arnold is a master of mathematical writing and teaching.

We no longer teach the formulas for solving cubic and quartic polynomial equations. Nowadays we just teach linear and quadratic equations. For the most part every algebraic equation you can solve by hand that we teach in basic algebra is an equation that can be reduced to a linear equation or a quadratic equation. It’s amazing how many applied problems can be accomplished by this reduction. With the rise of computers and easy numerical computations this isn’t so important but imagine a scenario in which the useful applications all involved degree 5 or higher polynomials. Would we have progressed much?

Also I hope the editor gets a lot of improvements. I'm convinced now that one large reason why Kotlin feels so much better then Swift is simply the IDE. It's just magic compared to Xcode.

Doing some Objective C recently, I was disappointed to notice Xcode was much snappier and less buggy handling large ObjC codebases then Swift ones.

It bothered me the first time you posted this and didn't say anything then, but I didn't imply equal numbers of respondents and I don't know why you think I did. Unless you have some kind of deeper knowledge about partisan alignment in the population, for all we know this is representative. The rankings are very consistent regardless of party identification in the responses across the board, party identification of respondent seems to be a weak factor in the rankings.

Web Components solve most of the problems he describes here, yet he claims they only work in Chrome so it'll be another two years. That's false. We've built the next version of Ionic controls 100% as web components, specifically targeting mobile, and we've been incredibly happy with how ready they are.

Sure, building web components really benefits from some sugar (much like jQuery back then), but once you have that sugar they work great (we built a helper WC tool called Stencil: http://stenciljs.com/).

Now that web components are ready, we just need to educate people on how they can start using custom components through normal HTML tags. We're on to phase two.

Male Organ and Economic Growth: Does Size Matter? [pdf]
Abstract:

This paper explores the link between economic development and penile length between
1960 and 1985. It estimates an augmented Solow model utilizing the Mankiw-Romer-Weil
121 country dataset.

The size of male organ is found to have an inverse U-shaped
relationship with the level of GDP in 1985. It can alone explain over 15% of the variation in
GDP.

The GDP maximizing size is around 13.5 centimetres, and a collapse in economic
development is identified as the size of male organ exceeds 16 centimetres.

Economic growth between 1960 and 1985 is negatively associated with the size of male organ, and it
alone explains 20% of the variation in GDP growth. With due reservations it is also found
to be more important determinant of GDP growth than country's political regime type.

Controlling for male organ slows convergence and mitigates the negative effect of
population growth on economic development slightly. Although all evidence is suggestive
at this stage, the `male organ hypothesis' put forward here is robust to exhaustive set of
controls and rests on surprisingly strong correlations.

The Economics of Healthcare Systems: 6 Trends Entrepreneurs Should Know
I've never understood it. I've only had horrific experiences with my open source efforts. From the simplest cases like being ignored on PRs and tickets to mockery in social circles for algorithmic mistakes to finding out my work was enabling bad people to finding out people were misrepresenting my employment status while using my work in violation of the license, I don't think I've ever once had a positive experience with open source as a producer. Hell, I never even knew my extensions to the clojure time library were even being used until another maintainer who had added some incremental stuff over my work disappeared.

I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self it was all a waste of time and I shouldn't do it. Maybe then I could be more positive about it now that I'm better at writing software.
