If Russian is not you native language I can see how it can seem to flow nicely. Unfortunately, if it is, Solzhenitsyn reads like a foreign language. Even words, let alone sentence structures, are very much not Russian. Words, really, he was just inventing on the fly and you have to guess what they could possibly mean.

Obviously, this is to a large degree a matter of taste, but I am far from the only Russian speaker finding Solzhenitsyn's language highly stilted and artificial. The English translation you're quoting is much better.

Interestingly, same is very often said about Vonnegut's translations into Russian.
Huh, I gues the documents they put on were just gibberish.

I'll need to update that with recent developments like: no one uses vanilla WebComponents, as they are unusable. Everybody uses any number of layers on top of them: Polymer, Angular, Stencil, whatever.
Since wealth inequality is incredibly big and continuously increasing, big land/home taxes will lead to shifting home/land ownership to the 0.1% and cause 99.9% to rent it. Prices will increase sky high partially because owners can raise them (semi-monopoly of ultra rich owners) and partially to recoup ownership taxes. The whole thing will start failing even faster than now.

It's really unclear from this what the security best practice is for where to put the Cloud SQL password.

Do we just assume the password is public info and rely on IAM?

This discusses really clunky methods to use the legacy datastore or a bucket to store a password.

Seems odd when competitors (Heroku, Beanstalk) have a special system for keeping environment variables with the password in.
Funny, if anything I’d say it would make more sense for females to be LESS self-sacrificing across species. Surely evolutionarily it is more important that females get enough resources to survive; males should self-sacrifice to enable that. And of course there are also lots of stereotypes about women being selfish, wilful, demanding etc. Not sure the one about them being self-sacrificing is any more true than that.

You seem to be forgetting the whole point of this thread--a proposal for $10 licenses that kids can afford.

There's no point in making a license affordable for kids if they still need to have completely unaffordable liability insurance.

It's pretty clear that when the OP suggested a $10 license they were also suggesting removing other regulatory costs. The proposal is useless otherwise.

Why is there no discussion on rezoning single home areas to allow multistorey buildings? Can someone explain how the influx of tech workers has forced out existing Seattle citizens onto the roads? Are we sure that they are not out of towners? Why don't those who can't afford the high rents move to nearby cities and counties instead of living on the streets? Would any parent want this for their child? Would they not seek to rebuild somewhere else, especially if they actually had some employable skills that allowed them to rent a 2 bed flat in the first place? Cause and effect don't make sense here
As pointed out in other responses, pretty much every native kit nowadays offers sizing. Hell, it was one of the selling points for GTK+ back in 1998.

Household debt is not at record highs... Auto Loans and Student Loans are getting more problematic, but no reason to go all chicken little.

Tend to agree generally that we are approaching the apex of the cycle, and that share buybacks may be creating a sort of short term thermal.
"or you remove yourself from the jurisdiction"

Hopefully that move is to somewhere close by; else, that kind of black-and-white logic would directly result in 45,000 Amazon employees facing either relocation or unemployment. Even then, the added time and monetary costs of added commutes can put folks in a similar "between-rock-and-hard-place" scenario.

In general, telling someone "if you don't like it, then move somewhere else" betrays a complete ignorance of the economic and psychological burden of doing so (burdens which not everyone can afford). Amazon itself can afford to move with relative ease, of course, but that doesn't hold true for the vast majority of its workers.

Just wondering, are the games broadcast on paid channels or on public and free-to-view ones?

This approach would make sense if the games are on paid channels and the nominal fee for those only covers viewing for one person (in which case it makes sense for establishments to pay more, given they're showing it to more people).

But if the games are broadcast on free channels, then there shouldn't be any difference whether or not a person is watching it at home or a bar is showing the game - in either case, the TV advertisers are the ones paying for the game, and this revenue depends on how many people watch the channel (so showing off the game in a bar actually benefits everyone).

I feel like in this situation it's the latter, and the people from the football league are just greedy (what a surprise) and any excuse to try and extort money is a good one in their book.
>what about my point, if you argue it's ok in this instance

in this instance, they're doing a good thing. are you arguing that google shouldn't ever do anything, no matter how good it is, because if google is allowed to do things then eventually they might do bad things? that seems absurdly defeatist.

Payroll taxes are quite a normal thing, and it makes sense, since employees do add some non-zero amount to the amount of services that need to be provided by a given government even if they don't reside there.

The stupidity was that it was a flat, $500 tax, which is not a big deal if you're paying your tech bros six figures, but becomes quite a big deal if you have a lot of minimum-wage earning grocery baggers (who were among the professions and corporations that would've been most impacted)

No, because web components assume you're using the DOM. Which we definitely do not want. I want to go lower level. Give me a hashmap of nodes currently on screen. Let me design how the nodes are arranged in a render tree. Let me design how the nodes are redrawn. Let me design how the nodes are styled. I shouldn't have to compile my styles to CSS. Make the browser a rendering slave with a small but effective layout engine + UI API.

While it did get quite a it better after Stalin's death, in a sense that people wouldn't keep an "emergency bag" of things one could take to prison by the bedside, with pretty much everyone knowing someone who had passed through the Gulag, a lot of Gulag has been internalized in the populace. The evil was very much banal, as it were, and the changes were mostly a matter of degree. Being seen reading "Kolyma Stories" would have you spending a few years on the "Sunny Kolyma" as it was called.
Probably a decent number of people learn about the conflict in passing at least when the fall of the Macedonian satrapies is discussed, as well as the final conquest of Sicily, what with Archimedes' death and all.
An interesting point made in https://web.math.princeton.edu/~kollar/FromMyHomePage/fm-ess... is that getting a fields medal is good for longevity, but bad if you "nearly got it": +8 yrs if you get it, -6 for "just missed" (see p. 6.)

The main point of the article is not about longevity, but rather: does the award lead to better or worse research? (It is awarded relatively early.)
Then why call it as such? Yes, I know it is a catchy phrase which invokes emotional response, but I think it diverts attention from the core of the problem.
Funny how this utopian sounding idea is just a regular market economy without sales and income tax. Like the US before 1913.

Too bad every time one interacts with someone else people with guns and prisons demand about 50% of the transaction. Set income and sales tax to zero and this could easily happen everywhere. It would be cool if some decent sized country would try it and use a land tax to fund the government.
There is lots of discussion of that and to suggest otherwise is ridiculous.

A years long process won’t do anything to help thousands of homeless now.
I know...but “because” communicates the need for justification...
> Amazon can't throw a $50 million peanut at the epidemic of homelessness ravaging their hometown

This is an unfair framing. The tax did far more damage than impair Amazon's bottom line. Your complaint, moreover, could be leveled against every public service in the city. There are simply better ways to solve this problem. Seattle's government chose pot shots over progress.

Not a problem, though, give it another 5-10 years and it will be extremely clear what SpaceX has achieved.

For example, here's the CNES (French space agency) Director of Launchers discussing SpaceX's achievements, and his desire to design Ariane NEXT to be similar to Falcon 9:

https://satelliteobservation.net/2018/06/02/cnes-director-of...

> For Falcon 9 for instance, they use a toss-back trajectory. An engine is relit while going against the aerodynamic flow, which is actually quite complicated to achieve. We worked on that with ONERA, the French national aerospace lab, and realized it’s pretty complicated.

and, right after talking about how SpaceX's design stages lower, has a common engine between stages, and allows experimentation in landings:

> Prometheus can be used in a new architecture which we call Ariane Next. It will have 7 such engines on the first stage and 1 on the second stage, and can be used in expendable or reusable mode, allowing to experiment reuse easily. The objective is to learn by testing, which is not a European speciality.

There's no greater endorsement than by a competitor.

Homeowners are a reliable voting bloc. Rezoning single homes would make housing more affordable while adding to the city's vibrancy. It would also reduce existing home values.

Piketty's work [1] found real estate (and its favorable tax treatment) to be the largest driver of wealth inequality in America. Land taxes would be progressive. (Particularly if the first X dollars of one's primary residence were excluded.)

Amazon is not the government. They don't have the expertise or even authority to tackle civic issues.

I don't want them tackling civic issues because Amazon is a company. It is a profit algorithm in a capitalist system. Humans inside can steer it to Do Nice Things here and there but ultimately its lives because Profit.

The government's ONLY job is to Do Nice Things (maintain nice status of life). Therefore, it is the government's failure to leverage its own powers to solve the homeless issue. Because it's a representative plutocratic democracy, the people are partially to blame as well, although class disparity is a major obstacle.

Sounds like he tried to build an academic career on pathological grammar Nazism. The size of a dot? Come on, that's at most a minor typographical error.

A text the size of "Ulysses" cannot, by definition, ever be "perfect". There will always be an opportunity for a vacuous hack to assemble a "catastrophic" collection of minor mistakes that allegedly compromise the edition. This is usually much easier than actually producing a new edition, by orders of magnitude so, and this is why we hate grammar Nazis: they derail the conversation and in the end contribute nothing of substance.

I know it's probably harsh, but every field has these guys, they should not be celebrated but marginalized. I find his ouster from academia not surprising. Kidd is obviously very competent but he chose to invest his vast knowledge and intellect into an ego match instead of contributing and expanding his field.

Sure there are simply better ways, there are always better ways, and those better ways will be likewise crushed by the muscle at Amazon who make sure the company can extract as much value out of Seattle without having to pay its fair share in taxes.
The terminals are for talking to your remote server. There is at least one on-device Python IDE but I don't think it's at all useful for a the kind of work you have in mind.

Anyway, I'm not trying to convince you an iPad is a sane, comfortable way to do the kind of programming where you are regularly doing a backend-to-browser sort of cycle. You can probably make it slightly less barebones 'terminal session to a server running vim'.
The discrimination between taxing corporations vs "people" is often a dumb one to make. Assuming low corporate profits (e.g. hardy competition), corporate taxes just get passed directly onto employees and consumers.

For Amazon, it may be a "corporate" tax. But for other low margin companies its just a tax on everyday people.

> I saw that the only group of people able to preserve a minimum of humanity in conditions of starvation and abuse were the religious believers, the sectarians (almost all of them), and most priests.

I’m curious which religions were represented, and what he meant by “sectarians”. Christianity at least would seem to be implied (by “priests”) and the fact that this was a Soviet gulag — Christians in particular were strongly persecuted under the USSR. (Perhaps at least partly because they resisted ideological assimilation more strongly than any other groups — even to death and martyrdom in many cases.)

It’s also very interesting that military and party members were the first to lose it. No wonder communists feared and/or hated religion — they knew their own ideology couldn’t strengthen people or hold them in its grip anywhere near as well.
