While it seems appealing, a cigarette ban would cause enormous damage, much much higher than the damage from cigarettes themselves. Just look at the worldwide War on Drugs, which is finally starting to wind down here and there. Or alcohol Prohibition in the USA.

But heavy fines for improper disposal should be ok.

Isn't subsidized pricing illegal?

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing

> Predatory pricing , also known as undercutting, is a pricing strategy in which a product or service is set at a very low price with the intention to drive competitors out of the market or to create barriers to entry for potential new competitors. Theoretically, if competitors or potential competitors cannot sustain equal or lower prices without losing money, they go out of business or choose not to enter the business. The so-called predatory merchant then theoretically has fewer competitors or even is a de facto monopoly.

> Predatory pricing is considered anti-competitive in many jurisdictions and is illegal under competition laws.
I have more or less the same story moving to Austria. I get spammy calls but they are actually legit surveys (quality of life, political leanings, newspaper preferences, etc) and only because I gave up my phone number at a party many years ago and haven't bothered to have it removed. I get once of these survey calls about every 3-6 months and if I'm not in the mood I just tell them I don't have time and they never call back. On occasion they ask if they could call back at a later date.

Re: winning things - I won 500 Euro from Visa for entering a contest, where the only requirements were to fill out the online form with my name, age and email address, followed by using my Visa card 3 times in one month any of the following 3 months. I should note that Visa the company here doesn't actually function as a credit card like in the U.S., rather it's directly connected to your bank account, where at the end of the month any balance due is automatically deducted. If your account drops below zero, you just pay some interest at the end of the month. From my basic research (looking at my bank statements for the past 2 years), it's extremely low. In fact looking at my last "25% KEST" charges, I was in minus for 3 months last year, and the charge was 0,02 euro cents. I honestly have no idea how that works, but I assume we have some good consumer protections in place.

I have no personal experience of this, but try googling for "ESTA arrest" (without the quotes).
When traveling to e.g. the USA arrests have to be declared on the online visa waiver. Similar for other countries. I have no idea what happens if you have any arrests but I assume it is not totally convenient. Even if your record might be sealed/not public in your countries does not mean you can ignore this section of the form.
Agreed - perhaps I phrased it incorrectly, but I meant to say the you start moving investments out of the market 10 years prior to your retirement date, not that you sell everything in one huge move at the 10 year mark.
From the article:

> "calculated ignorance of illegal
> activity is not an acceptable excuse"

I.e. the court's argument is that he was perfectly aware that he was building these for drug cartels. If we take that judgement at face value I don't see the problem with this. You don't get to wink wink nudge nudge your way out of being a knowing accomplice to a crime.
Heh, if only the hit chance was actually the hit chance. Very often the same
attack, e.g. three strikes with 60% chance, yields something like 30% hits
when the situation is repeated multiple times (save-attack-load-attack).
> I know that the game is that way on purpose but I feel that it makes it a niche game.

That's a reasonable conclusion. Personally, I believe that turn-based tactical games will always be a niche regardless of the choices around the systems, and Wesnoth has survived for so long that it's arguably found its niche within that niche.
Schlocky
In a way, the "luck" factor makes the game more realistic. You plan your actions and send your best troops for the jobs, betting on the high chances of success of the mission... but just as well as in real life, anything can happen!
It makes me feel more involved, and this "shit can happen" aspect is precisely what I love the most about Wesnoth.

EDIT : typo
The very serious data protection issues aside, today's state-of-the-art biometrics are hardly suitable for authentication purposes (does sample X belong to given person Y?). Using them for large-scale identification (find the most probable person from a huge database, given a sample X), especially with low-quality data sources, is a lottery game.

Unfortunately, the article doesn't state the false-positive and false-negative rates of the technologies used, so it's impossible to calculate the actual risks of being accused of something, once your sample is in the database.
The consulting and presentation in a fancy restaurant is harder. E.g. with a bottle of while.

how would any of those problems be solved with a blockchain? you are taking about real world things and actors that need to be matched to something on a blockchain. don't see how you get around that part and that is the costly, inefficient and painful one. not the ledger.
I think self-driving cars are possible, and will probably become a reality. However I don't think it will be a generalized AI driving it. I'm thinking more along the lines of a lot of subsystems, one of which is visual object detection with deep learning (the one thing deep learning has shown it beats everything else), all the other subsystems from the sensors up to the driving behavior will have to be Properly Engineered(TM).
I agree with you completely, and in general think the whole idea of using "safe" string functions with built-in buffer length checking is wrong because it is a solution to a symptom, not a cause.

Before writing to the buffer you should've ensured that it's big enough, and decided what to do if it's not, long before actually doing it. In other words, what happens if it's not big enough? These "always use $length_checking_function" proponents miss that point. Yes, you've avoided an overflow here, but chances are something was already too small long before the flow reached here, and the fix is not to replace an overflow with truncate/not copy/etc. here, but fix the check/sizing that came before elsewhere.
It will be a generational shift. You won't get current doctors (over 40) to change their ways, ever.

My previous doctor (who was probably mid-50s) didn't use email or any kind of secure electronic messaging system. Everything had to be faxed to him.

My new doctor who is younger uses all kinds of digital tools including a voice recorder with a pre-trained text-to-speech engine that understands medical terminology and codifies the transcription based on keywords.

So it's not entirely getting away from freetext but at least it's extracting some structured data from it automatically.

I don't think it makes sense to classify an individually set-up, per-account redirect an "open relay server". It can't be used to do anything the user didn't intend.

To add to your comment, after several years of going to a regional conference I've got to know so many of the crowd from working with them directly that I struggle to make it around the trade stands.
One of the consequences of this is you can't burn bridges as word will get around (like in a village).

> 100% markup almost any importer puts on anything

This is a big negative of living here, people actually expect to pay a lot and will be suspicious of cheap things. It's a shame that it's often cheaper to buy something from the US/UK. Often you can get things (including shipping) at 50% the cost from overseas.

> I imagine these promotions wouldn't exist if they didn't make money

That was my point.
God no... explicit is better than implicit.

Your statement there just does not read correctly, always have the condition explicit.
> Err, because they're getting the benefit of the work?

That's not the situation we were talking about, really. We talked about a minimum wage, which raises the wage above what the business would normally pay. And we talked about doing that as a way to give a social net to some workers. But this effectively amounts to a business owner paying extra money, on top of what they would normally pay to get the benefit of the labor, out of their pocket, to help workers. The question is, why does it make sense for this only to be paid by them?

> Why should I as a taxpayer subsidise small business owners?

You wouldn't be subsidizing small business owners, you'd just be subsidizing workers. Which makes sense, since the stated goal was to help workers. Why should business owners be the only ones to subsidize workers, and not everyone?

AFAIK, the primary issue with too much protein on keto (gluconeogenisis) isn't the change in blood glucose, but rather that GNG blocks ketosis.

That's the opposite of the diets goals, is an easy issue for people to incur while thinking they're on track, and keto can make you more susceptible to GNG :)

Sausage and cheese is totally kosher: in moderation, ideally beside some leafy greens.
The really disappointing part here is that many, many more things are like this. E.g. raises and promotions. Nowadays a lot of companies can't afford these any more. But still on paper they offer these opportunities and even really give promotions to 1-2 people of multiple dozens or hundreds, so that you feel shitty about not getting one. Or dating websites that give unattractive people hope that they can find a (-n attractive) partner if they fill out 2 hours worth of forms and let the inputs run through an algorithm.

The best selling product is unrealistic hope.
What to Do When Your Startup Is Stuck in Neutral
Sorry to be a bit off topic here, but: while I agree with the other comments here about this company being very early stage to have such a large market value, what I think a lot of people tend to forget that the dollar has lost a lot of value over the last 5, 10, 20 yers. A billion dollars isn’t what it used to be.

What is not clear is if this company has strong patent protection for their innovation of sharing blockchain. I would guess that this might be why they have a high paper value.

This is the real problem. That PM of course wants the work done yesterday and has ego issues so even when the contractor does question it they just double down on what they originally said.

It happened also in my homeland: Cantabria. I just think that the need for paper is mostly replaced by recycled paper, at least in theory.
I left New Zealand for Australia about 9 months ago, and have no plans on moving back to NZ for at least half a decade.

I love New Zealand and I think it's an amazing country. I really miss it, and if I ever had kids, I'd want to raise them in NZ.

But the money and the jobs just aren't there.

I doubled my wages by moving to Melbourne from Wellington and cost of living is roughly the same. It took me 2 weeks from when I started looking for a job to getting an offer. My salary went from NZ$42k + 3% super and no bonus to AU$75k (NZ$80k) + 9.5% super + bonus. I'm sure I could've landed a better paying job here too, but I was living off my credit card so I took the first job that gave me an offer.

In New Zealand there just weren't many options for someone with 2 years of experience. There's a chronic shortage of senior positions, but for mid level positions, especially if you don't want to work with .NET or Java, there just aren't jobs available. There were about 5 open positions nationwide for a Ruby on Rails dev with 2 or 3 years experience when I was looking to move on from my job, before deciding to jump ship to Australia. In Melbourne, there were so many positions I was qualified for that I didn't even bother applying for most of them. I had recruiters ringing me every morning with new positions that I was perfectly suited for.

If you're trying to start a company, don't expect a lot of investment. Most startups in NZ bootstrap or get investment from family and friends. There just isn't a culture of venture capital in NZ. It seems like a very normal trajectory for an NZ tech startup is to get enough funding and growth that they can migrate to California. Xero is quite unique in that it stayed in NZ, although it's now listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. The lack of investment in startups is a cultural thing I think, and ties right in with tall poppy syndrome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome. Our humility is both a source of national pride and also something that holds us back as a country. Of course, not everyone wants to start a unicorn, and that's fine, but someone needs to.

It does lead to a very different startup culture. There isn't that rapid growth in companies that you see in the USA, because there's less investment. The startup I worked for had been around for 3 or 4 years and only had 8 employees, the lack of manpower (especially developers) really held the company back. The business idea was solid, we made decent sales, but we were severely undercapitalised. Most startups, due to the investment situation are one or two person shops.

The tech startup scene is weird too, at least in Wellington, as it's so small. It's like this little incestuous community, full of gossip about different people and companies. I actually found it got quite catty at times.

It's a crying shame that I felt I had to leave (although money was only part of the reason), but like fuck I'm going to work for $20 an hour when I can jump on a plane and 4 hours later be earning double. NZ is a beautiful country let down by a low wage economy.
I wonder if games like Fire Emblem, Langrisser and Shining Force have a shuffle bag approach to attacking, defending, fleeing.

As someone who contracts in the UK, I'd say it really depends on how much you're making and for what duration. If you're going to make £10,000 on a three month contract you're probably better off just registering for self assessment. I did this for a while when I was making around £28,000/annum because it was the most tax effective and easiest solution in my case. Also accountants are expensive.

If you're making £60,000+ you're probably going to want to set up an LTD company, but at that point you're really best off talking to an accountant and discussing your options.
I know a couple people who have timeshares in some prime vacation spots (island, ski/hiking areas in the mountains) and they are quite practical when you don't/can't buy/rent a property permanently, instead sharing it with 10+ other people, divvying up the weeks lottery-style and enjoying a few weekends a year. It's also a motivation to plan for taking weekends off to just relax, since you only get 1-2 windows of opportunity once or twice per year.
calculus fundamentals pretty often lead to extremal problems. Those seem quite useful for optimization at any rate.

I'll bite: argument from authority can be reversed - if Brian didn't mess up the language design, these sorts of "code drivels" wouldn't have appeared! I think you've heard that argument from many language designers already... Then we can argue that back in those times it was something progressive etc. And we are straight back with the argument I was making. When you read StackOverflow, books on Deep Learning or computation on Spark, how much drivel did you go through already? Even the language authors are sometimes confused about some unplanned side effects...

I've found that it's usually those with embedded systems experience who are most knowledgeable about pointers, but I suppose BASIC experence with embedded systems doesn't count --- the ones I'm referring to usually started in Asm/C, and others I know who started in Asm (not necessarily for embedded), also are extremely good at pointer use.

The modern equivalent would probably be Arduino experience. I wonder if there are similar examples in books out there about C++ written by someone with only that...

If you're eating carbs and fasting it will be a struggle -- worth it or not, who knows.

Most of the intermittent fasters I've been following aren't going through some masochistic daily hunger-torture. They're just eating more "paleo" or "keto" so their diet is ripe with dietary fat. That makes going from three smaller, to two larger, or even a single huge meal a matter of habit that can be changed in a couple weeks.

It's also unproblematic to "cheat" on the fast when need arises. The idea is just to clock as much 'fasted' time as pragmatic.
Not all vector spaces are manifolds (in fact most aren't), and you don't need charts to define differential operators (just see functional analysis).
If you want Cᵏ to be a normed space you do

|f| = ∑ᵢ₌₀ᵏ sup|f⁽ⁱ⁾|.

On open domains you can also use the topology that forces uniform
convergence on all compact subsets. But this will only give you a
metric space, no Banach space (but you’ll include unbouded
functions). This is needed for studying Brownian motions with an
unbounded time domain.

Regarding the other question: If you take Cᵏ⁻¹ as a the co-domain
differentiation will be continuous. IIRC to get unbounded linear maps
defined on the whole Banach space you need the axiom of choice, you
won’t be able to write one down.

The problem with differential operators is that they are usually only
defined on a dense subset of the domain, and there they are not
bounded. E.g. in quantum mechanics the space of states is L² but all
the interesting observables are differential operators. You can
weasel out of this situation by defining them on a subset of “physical
states” (e.g. smooth wave functions of rapid decay). But they aren’t
continuous anymore (the spectrum is unbounded). But on Hilbert spaces
everything mostly works out fine. Physicist usually ignore those
technical problems and still don’t make mistakes.
The answer is a simple google search away. It’s worked out pretty well with all sorts of social indicators trending better.

An alcohol ban doesn’t need to lead to 100% reduction to be deemed a success. In fact it almost certainly won’t. It just needs to make things reasonably better than they were before.
