> What is the precise benefit of say a Ferrari dealer compared to a typically lower income trade like a teacher?

The Ferrari dealer's value to society lies in connecting prospective producers and consumers of Ferraris. It is popular to undervalue middlemen, but without the dealers producers' skills would be underutilized while buyers' wants would go unfulfilled. Presumably the job itself is not something just anyone could do, either, or everyone would be dealing Ferraris (and the pay would be much lower); one needs a relatively rare combination of personality, skills, and connections to succeed.

The marginal benefit to society of yet another new teacher, on the other hand, is not very high. Education is not something society particularly values; primary school these days is basically a glorified day-care. Nonetheless, the role of teacher still carries a certain glamour which ensures a steady supply of idealistic applicants, despite the low wages. Whatever issues the educational system may have, throwing more warm bodies at the problem is not likely to prove any more effective than the past and ongoing attempts to resolve the issues with piles of money.

If you're approaching this from the position that a teacher "objectively" provides more benefit to society than a Ferrari dealer, despite the fact that the dealer's services are clearly valued more highly, then I'm afraid I can't help you. The marginal value, and consequently "social benefit", associated with performing a task is subjective, not objective. The closest you will ever get to an objective measure of value is the price the good or service has historically commanded in a free market, and even then all you really know that that at the point the trade took place the buyer valued the good more highly than the payment, while the reverse was true for the seller. If the seller makes a profit it means that they took materials valued at one price and turned them into something valued more highly by the buyer. In the absence of external costs, what benefits the buyer also benefits society as a whole, if only in the aggregate.
Thanks for sharing. Sounds interesting. I had been reading about various kinds [1] of fermented milk products recently, and had seen kefir among them.

[1] There seem to be many such kinds, across various countries.

Quark, skyr, doogh, kumis, buttermilk, dahi, chaas, filmjölk, blaand, ayran are some of the varieties.

Here's a list:

It's not actually that risky to already be rich and then find a way to milk the government for billions of dollars in subsidies.
> I guess your idea is to have an ultimate veto power to revert any decision. So it's a centralized service that can run in a traditional database instead of a blockchain.

Not at all, and I don't know where you are getting that idea from. The system, as it is designed right now has no requirement for a single centralized or trusted party. It also has no requirement for any trust between the participants (which most systems in the same realm do).

> What will you do in polemic cases?

That's a good question, and one of the things we want to explore during iterations of the testnet. Without going into more specifics I would say that there is a part of the incentive mechanism that rewards a more clear-cut consensus (a 50/50 split on a boolean statement is the least favourable situation for participants on both sides). This unfavourable situation should then in turn fuel the contribution of more information so people can make a more informed rational decision which should then lead to a more clear consensus. There are also some higher level market mechanisms that we anticipate to develop which could be used to both stabilize and destabilize the consensus about a certain statement, like a off-chain PR campaign as you mentioned. We'll have to see how each of those can potentially impact a consensus and if that is something that needs a countermeasure in the core protocol.
As an immigrant from the US to the UK, this isn't unique to the US. The reality is that there is so much history out there that it is very hard to get a solid overview of it which weaves together into a coherent narrative. There's just not enough time. Its why independent resources like youtube and video games which actually care about history are so important.

(Its still reasonable to be annoyed by the way. My personal annoyance is that my school taught a lesson about George Washington Carver which didn't include a discussion of the nitrogen cycle or nitrogen-fixing bacteria.)
What I'm wondering is if they're calculating this figure based on peak rated panel power, because if so, that's probably off by a large margin.
I'm debating between GAE standard or Firebase now for my next project :/ I've always been confortable with nodejs but didn't want to bother with GCP (GAE flex). One part that I liked about Firebase is how it's easy to support multiple login providers (twitter,fb...etc). Is there something similar in GAE standard nodejs ?

Haven't had to use Zend but at least Symfony DI is really heavy to use with all the services.yamls and the javaisms it introduces.

DI can be heavy or it can be something mostly automagical like in Laravel. That's something I've enjoyed quite a bit. Basically it doesn't that much exist until you start needing special cases.

Quite a big part of the PHP community is gravitating towards Laravel and the new steam it introduced with OOB best practices and "let's try hard to avoid the Java-heaviness". Laravel seems to have quite nice balance between easy for new devs and bunch of powerful concepts when needed. Lots of basic problems solved OOB as well.
Seriously, let me know if I can help you understand—I’m not sure why you are getting so upset about this.

As I understand it, the opinion itself is not illegal, but the act of specifically targeting jurors might be. But I'm also under the impression that these sort of charges often but not always get tossed. I'm pretty damn confident that it's fully legal for me to say here and now: I believe jury nullification is a good idea.

And I'm not aware of any other sort of opinions that are illegal to state in America. Even denying or applauding genocides and other atrocities is legal in America.

Irony was a double-edged sword in this case. Sure, the Greek city-states were now subject to Rome. On the other hand, Roman civilization was deeply affected by Greek culture, which was arguably far superior. Horace said it best: Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit (once defeated, Greece conquered its savage captor)

These layers were created for efficiency, not for their own sake; there’s no “DOM transaction API”, so every DOM mutation causes a reflow. Thus, you mutate a virtual DOM, render the resulting changes to a new subdocument, and then replace an existing DOM node with that new subdocument.

I don't quite understand how GAE would affect using Firebase or not. Even on standard you would still use Firebase Auth, there is no GAE specific authentication.
There is no site I know of - or to be more accurate, there is no user of an internet application I know of - that does not need transport-layer security.
I think it's more than that. You wouldn't commit code that doesn't compile. Your entire organization, however, will troubleshoot the code that fails on runtime in production.

> Chapernowne's constant, 0.123456789101112... isn't "random" at all and contains very little information, yet it is known to be normal in base 10.

Why is Chapernowne's constant not random?

> The number would still have "infinite information" in the sense of the author of this paper. It would still be "just as random", it would still have "no pattern". But it would not be a normal number anymore.

That's not true. It would not be just as random. If the set you're sampling from includes a 7 (i.e. the set of digits which can be represented in any single place in the sequence), and you never see a 7 for an extremely long time, this is exceptionally good heuristic evidence that the number is not random. And if we know 7 never shows up, we also know that the number is not random, because we know it's not uniformly sampling from the set of base 10 digits.
So you move to Bitcoin Cash, which can do 60 transactions a second. Big deal. It's still orders of magnitude slower than it has to be to be useful.

Blockchains don't scale. Period. If you know of a way to make them scale, publish it and you'll find instant fame and fortune.

For newspapers, it was largely poor decision making and Craigslist.

I've worked for two large newspaper companies in the past. They both operated on this model:

- Newsstand fee covers the cost of printing and distribution

- Classified ads revenue pays for everything else.

Craigslist hurt newspapers and local news far more than most people realize.
Ye-yes..I think it does matter. It's possible I have no idea what you mean by your post above. I just don't think there is a problem with "having to keep lifting."

Ironically, my US education was just as bad about modern events. 4th grade we covered the American revolution. 5th was American revolution and civil war. Each year covered the previous material with (a little) more depth, yet I had WW I twice and WW II and Korea once (12th grade). Vietnam wasn't covered at all, much less anything since then. And I went to a GOOD high school. I fear what poor ones teach.

Not that Vietnam or the WW II aftermath is at all relevant to modern politics. /s

It's maybe important to note that these disputes (and possible disputes) with Bulgaria, Greece and maybe(?) Serbia have almost none impact whatsoever on the daily lives of anyone in the region there. No animosity, no nothing basically apart from politically organised rallies here and there. Situation with albanians on the other hand... is interesting.
I guess that depends on a bunch of factors - if it's a mild acute depression why wouldn't exercise be useful? Absolutely, long term chronic deep depression needs different therapy, but exercise may very well be a sort of chicken soup for a the blues. I know it's helped me immeasurably, and enabled me to cope with my anxiety disorder and its co-morbid depression to the point where I no longer require medication.
Schools vary, but usually this conflict isn't really presented much in survey classes.

The highlights of education on Greece usually focus on Alexander the Great for a day or two, phalanx, the various figures of Athens, Athens vs. Sparta. Rome usually is some chat about the origin myth, "they were a republic", the Punic Wars, specifically Hannibal, Ceasar, transition to empire, random facts.
They did make electric cars sexy. What would be the state of the EV market today sans Tesla?
>After a few weeks of marching and countermarching by Philip and Flamininus in central Thessaly, battle was joined (almost by accident) at Cynoscephalae, hills known as The Dogs’ Heads. Invincible on flat ground as long as its flanks were protected, the phalanx was dangerously exposed on hillsides. Highly manoeuvrable, veterans of the Hannibalic war, the legionaries wreaked a terrible slaughter.

One of the big factors at Cynoscephalae and later at Pydna was the extreme flexibility and how much initiative junior officers had. At Cynoscephalae, the turning point of the battle came when a junior Roman officer saw that one of the halves of the phalanx was still forming up, and immediately sent Roman units against that unready part of the phalanx, routing them, and then crashing down on the rear of the other part of the phalanx that was actually winning against the Romans. At Pydna, Lucius Aemilius Paullus the Roman commander was able to give the general order to exploit the gaps, and let the various unit commanders implement it.

The combination of Roman training combined with the tactical flexibility stood Rome in very good stead for centuries.

As an aside, it is not necessarily the unit, but the commander who knows how to put it to great use that matters. Alexander the Great used an army of which the core was the phalanx to win battles over many, many types of terrain. He knew how to use the phalanx well in combination with calvary and light infantry to devastating effect.

(PM on the team) These are not incompatible, you can use Firebase authentication with App Engine. Get started at https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/.
The firebase Authentication Admin SDK has a Node.js client library that is compatible with App Engine (https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/).
How is this little known? If anything, this is too known. What I wish, but is impossible, is that there were more documented stories of the conflicts of e.g. Native Americans or Native South Americans, before European Settlers; early wars in Africa; or wars in the extremes of the Artic between early tribes. I have listened to all of Dan Carlin's "Hardcore History" ( which any student of history will fall in love with ), and the only limitation is that he can only recount histories that are documented, which sadly doesn't extend to most pre-European-influence civilizations.

Clearly you've never experienced a psychotic break....
I think you've got a lot of things wrong about Tesla. The legacy multi billion dollar use companies in the ULA have been using many russian rocket engines and have not really innovated much, other than having a good success rate. Tesla has been lucky to survive, there are many failed new car companies, and only because they have such an awesome product have they been able to attack the entire industry, sales, production, gas stations. They have tons of problems to deal with, like any big company, but their product is excellent. The thing I can't understand is the semi-religious fervor about people shorting them.
The more you can integrate moderate physical activity into your daily routine as a matter of getting things done rather than as a specific chore you have to do, the better. Cutting sugar consumption should also help. I'd start there and see what happens.
I wish i could be a fusion (and new nuclear) believer. But it is just so complicated.

Must be a location thing. I've never been to a store selling <$100 shoes (the kind the OP was shopping for) that didn't have all or most of its inventory on the shelves. For higher-end stores, yes the space is often devoted to display with inventory "in the back", but I was just at a mall Sketchers a few months ago and found my shoes myself with no problem. Same with my department store shoe sections.
Not sure where did you pull out that number, I've downloaded the report from the Macedonian Statistics Office and double-checked what I googled out.

I agree in that psychedelics should be absolutely a last resort. That being said LSD was a miracle for me personally and saved my life.
I think I might have overstated things, or not given credit where due. The contractors played a big role. They have not, however, been pushing things forward. Space exploration was stagnant, imo. I also consider NASA and the Soviet program to be the primary "mover," though of course that could be argued.

On cars, no that's not what I thunk. I don't think this divides into 2018 sales volume and bullshitting hype. There is also impact on the industry, consumer perception and the active effect on the price performance of batteries. There's important proofs (to the public) of concept, that electric cars can stand on their own in every respect.

Nissan... they fulfilled a demand for low spec cars with short ranges, a relatively nonscalable source of demand too. I don't think that Nissan's sales are as relevant as Tesla's in the overall scheme of changing most cars from ice's to electric. That's not to hate on nissan. I have a nissan.

I think we understand eachother, but disagree. You think of Tesla and spacex as similar to their competition, but with lots of underserved hype. I see them as different, mostly because of risk tolerance.

I guess this is also a matter of worldview. I think we have a serious problem of too little risk & failure, and the ability (of very large companies) to avoid risk almost entirely.

SpaceX set a goal of reusable rocket or bust, fairly literally and explicitly. I don't think other contractors would have. I don't think we get to mars unless someone does.

If mars is just hype and bullshit to you, then meaningfully reduced cost per orbital kg.. I dunno thoug. I *do" believe the claim that he's after a mars service. Why else risk the house?
That's a great point. After your first paragraph, I thought you were going for the "that's great, but how do they apply it?" angle, which is an important question, but after reading dozens of these studies the survivorship angle had not occurred to me.

I think a part of me deliberately designs daily routines and workloads that don't leave room for doing things for myself, and it's a subtle and tricky thing to catch. Once you do, it's clear, but up until that point it all seems organic and just how things ended up.
Psychiatrists usually do, but I've never had an actual Ph.D. Psychologist do. They're usually all for cogantive/talk therapy/stress release techniques, etc. (At least in my and my family/friends experiences). Are you dealing instead with maybe mental health professionals without advanced degrees?
Anyway, if I have a point, it's this: never underestimate the inadequacy of the US primary education system.

That happens everywhere it's not an American thing ( btw, the article is from an Irish newspaper), there's too much to cover in so little time. But learning shouldn't stop when we graduate, I can't blame school for my adult-life shortcomings, I got the basics and that should be enough IMHO

On the subject of the article, it's definitely not as popular as the punic wars or Caesar's conquest of Gaul, but then again what is?

Yes, a point to keep in mind when buying equipment. I had a very disappointed neighbor when I finally convinced him to shut the power off to his whole house and see what would happen. The salesman sold him on having power when the grid was down.

It takes more work, planning and some battery to have some power when the grid is down. I plan have enough to charge phones, power radios, power propane appliances and maybe keep me on the internet. I'd like to have enough for a refrigerator, but that starts to get expensive.

That's a very crafty over-simplification. You can choose to interpret "trustless" literally like it's magic, or you can actual work to understand what blockchain advocates mean when they say that. It's "trustless" because you don't have to trust a central authority not to tamper with the data once it's been committed to the ledger, not because there's no need for trust of any kind or at any level.
