I lived in Florida, and recall hearing that much of the state is actually below sea level. I saw some forests, but much of the state is swamp, or former swamps that were drained for suburbia.

Diablo 3 sold 3.5 million units the first day and 30 million units total as of 2015, so I'm not sure by what metric it would be considered a failure... aside from "I personally didn't like it"?
It's a hard one to teach, because everything carries so much baggage. Comparative advantage as they teach it is not a bad idea. It's a long road from that premise to the conclusion that free markets are all you need to know about humans.

Migrant workers have been for thousands of years and still are, the most powerless class of people. They have no political power, almost by definition. The levels of minimum standards protection they get make a big difference.

I think this is an area that the UN could have done something about, but never did.
> Skepticism of hitting goals by certain dates are fair. But you are conflating skepticism of promises of meeting milestones with the ability to execute at all.

One of the things from the Jalopnik piece that blew my mind was this:

> For other tasks, the reliance on robots has proved a headache. For months, Tesla engineers struggled to get a robot to guide a bolt through a hole accurately to secure part of the rear brake. They found a maddeningly simple solution: Instead of using a bolt with a flat tip on its threaded end, engineers switched to a bolt with a tapered point, known as a “lead-in,” that can be guided through the hole even if the robot is a millimeter off dead center, Mr. Moravy said.

Tesla is reinventing the wheel, so, yes there's going to be some doubt about their ability to execute. To my untrained eyes using the wrong bolt seems like a total rookie mistake. Even if not... Tesla spent months trying to thread a bolt. That's time and effort they could have spent on higher value propositions like fit and finish.

In time, yes.
If people could migrate freely around the world to seek work, economists crudely estimate that world GDP would roughly double, and that most of this enormous windfall would go to the poorest people on Earth. There is literally a hundred trillion dollar bill on the sidewalk for bringing together third-world labor and first-world legal systems, capital, and service demand.

Instead the first world does its best to wall itself off from economic migrants, because the right fears that migration will threaten their culture and the left fears that migration will threaten the welfare state.

As with any prohibition, the economic opportunity gets colonized by criminals. People seeking a better life will be taken advantage of and some of them will even wind up worse off than they started. But the root problem isn't the criminals, and it isn't customers who want cheap electronics. It's the prohibition of migration.
The pedagogues might not have been clued in, but their masters certainly knew. If Jim Crow didn't make it abundantly clear, Norbert Wiener spelled it out again in 1950:

"Any labor which competes with slave labor must accept the economic conditions of slave labor."

I don't understand how this is the contrary of what I'm saying. I agree that they had a pretty good hand on the lowballing issue. That's what I said all along. Everybody understands why they did that, and most would believe that it was at least tolerated by the BoE.

So they tried to keep the focus on that issue and use it to sweep the rather more shady collusion business under the rug, at least as far as the wider public and perhaps parliament is concerned.

All I'm trying to do here is to make it clear that there are two entirely seperate issues with wholly different motives.
See "We Wanted Workers" by economist George Borjas for a more skeptical treatment of this "hundred trillion dollar bill" lying on the sidewalk.
Yeah agree, I see no difference between 4850 and 5000 - people are so hung up in other comments on calling this a failure. It shows it’s possible, the rocket just missed the landing a bunch of times, nobody cares about that now.

Can it? Here's a proof that requires the law of the excluded middle. If you don't have that, you don't have a proof of that theorem. What's the correct constructive proof of a similar theorem "that is classically equivalent"?

Or, to say it differently, aren't there things that are true in "classical" (non-constructivist) math that are not true in constructivist math? My impression was that what is provably true in classical math is a strict superset of what is provably true in constructivist math.

TSLA has been public a long time. The guys who shorted it are losing money. The guys who say it's a scam but don't short it are probably bullshitting.
Well, that sounds pretty accurate: today's economies are so thoroughly dominated by the interests of monopoly capital that it takes a long-running bubble/overheat to actually raise wages.
"The parents intentionally give their children this autonomy and freedom because they believe it's the best way to motivate kids." This is basically the philosophy behind self-directed learning: unschooling as well as learning communities like Sudbury schools, liberated learners centers, and agile learning centers.

I work at one of these schools, and our kids are really good at paying attention. ADD is a real thing and still affects some of them, but we also have a lot of kids who were diagnosed with ADD and it turns out when they are interested in what they're doing, their attention span is completely normal.
Hindsight 20/20: there was a similar amount of hype around Segways. However, they are very expensive, large, and require training to use properly. These scooters are smaller, cheaper, and easier to use.

Either way, it’s silly to critique other people’s bets. You don’t know what they know and your money and reputation is not on the line. Does the valuation make sense? It doesn’t need to for anybody not involved in the transaction. Will the valuation need to make sense by the time/if the company goes public? Yes, much more so. But you could argue that even then public company valuations have no basis in reality right now.
Thanks. This is what I would have liked to write the first time, but I was about 12 hours late with the follow up and missed the front page activity.

I was also disappointed that this article made it to publishing on Bloomberg for the same reason.
While I'd love that to be true, economist's predictions don't have a good track record. Is there any good examples we can use to give evidence of thus massive claim?
I thought I was imagining that! If somebody knows a good JavaScript profiler, I might send a screenshot of that to the author. Hopefully they will choose a better outlet next time, or fix the Politico site.
How was working on Majesty?
Off the coast of Thailand, in international waters, hijacked migrants from Myanmar and Cambodia are conscripted to slave labor aboard fishing trawlers to produce the raw materials required by the multi-billion dollar American canned cat food market. Even massive public support for a boycott would fail to put a dent in the trade. Similar scenarios are playing out among Bangladeshi textile workers, Chilean copper miners, Madagascar vanilla harvesters, and on and on. And that doesn't even consider the global daily traffic in sexual exploitation.

Blockchain and DLT actually begins to look like a viable solution to tracing supply chains to their origin transparently and contractually.

I'm not furious about anything, did you notice that I'm not the guy upthread? Though I do find your assumption that I like Friends and Breaking Bad to be strange. Why do you assume that?

> "Netflix is providing content for a broader ideological range."

Furthermore, this is not actually the opposite of what I said. ("I think it should suffice to say that the range of netflix content is far narrower than the ideological range of the general population.") You use the word "broader", which is a relative term, but don't specify precisely what you are relating Netflix to. I assume you are relating it to traditional television programming (I assume this since the two shows you mentioned by name were traditional television programming.) But if you'll read my statement again, you'll see that's not what I was relating Netflix to.

I related the range of Neflix content to the ideological range of the general population. Not to traditional television, to the general population. Do I really need to explain that traditional television too only covers a small slice of the ideological range of the general population? I'll do so:

There are ideas and worldviews out there in which you'll never find mentioned or catered to in any mainstream television show or any Netflix show. The reasons for this are as varied as the ideas and worldviews themselves. Some don't get on TV or Netflix because they are difficult to monetize or run contrary to corporate interests. Some are too niche to bother recognizing, and others are offensive to other larger portions of society (I assume you assume it all falls under this later category, because you're eager to act morally righteous. I assume that about you because you assumed I was furious.) Some ideas and worldviews go unrecognized by television and netflix simply because they've gone unnoticed by television and netflix executives and filmmakers.

The sum of human ideology, ideas and worldviews is MUCH larger than the sum of what traditional television and netflix has on display. It's healthy to recognize this because failure to do so necessarily means your understanding of the world is contracted to the intersection of what mass media executives think publishable (that is, what they can agree amongst themselves to publish.)
Yes. If they wanna life the conforts of a modern society they should obey the country laws as well.

And since abortions are not allowed in brazilian law, as well infanticide, and higienization killings, so they should no be allowed to kill their kids.
The signal-to-noise ratio would be a nuisance, naturally, but there's a more fundamental problem that's stopped anyone from trying this. Internet routing and latency is asymmetric - your request to the time server will, in general, go via a different route that takes a different amount of time compared to the message back. This introduces a bias that is indistinguishable from local clock error. Without precisely synchronised clocks at both ends, you can only determine the overall round-trip time and not the time each leg took, and therefore you cannot calculate the exact difference between your local clock and the server. This is an inhererent limit on how accurate NTP can be over the Internet. (The other reason not to bother is that GPS is cheap and can provide a very accurate synchronized clock source over long distances.)
Many Diablo players have said they will never play another game in the franchise afterwards. I know about 5 people who bought it, played it for a few hours and promptly returned it for a refund. For some the laughable event of leveling up and having nothing to select or choose even if you went into the options menu and enabled the "Advanced Level Choices" option was a far cry from the enjoyment of getting your first level in D1/D2 and seeing all the choices you had.

Check out pizzamaking.com. It's probably the central place to chat about all things making pizza. While a home oven will get you decent pizza with a good stone, there are outdoor solutions that aren't too expensive. I got the blackstone oven, and it makes Neapolitan-style pizza in about 90 seconds, just like a large wood oven does. The difference is it uses propane with a giant flame arching over the pizza, and it has a motor to spin the pizza/stone inside. It was about $400, and well worth it if you want that style pizza.
> Why do you think central bank policy has been able to prevent a depression from occurring over the last 90 years, when in the past they were a regular occurrence?

There is a strong school of thought that argues that central bank policy has created _more_ and _worse_ depressions than before.

The fact that we can now debate if a central bank is a good thing or a bad thing is evidence that it's all pseudoscience.

In any given country,labor laws and human rights are addressed by that country's people and government. This is a local issue. The article makes it clear that multinationals are not directly part of the problem but their supply chain vendors are.

What is the expectation here? Should a company headquartered in a different country enforce it's views on labor,hiring practices and human rights on local vendors? With what rights? That is an absurdly arrogant way of viewing the problem. If the local govermnet cares more about economic prosperity than decent treatment of humans then they have every right to do so,it's their country and their people. I don't like it but I have no right to tell someone else how to run their country. It would have been the same way if the tables were turned. Western standards can't be enforced without western prosperity.

I think,just maybe,western individuals don't apperciate enough just how much western rights and liberties depend on a stable prosperous economy.

In my opinion,the best way to solve this is by aiding the local economy,by giving more work and business to the local vendors/supply chain. The more they prosper,the easier it is for the local working class to demand and get better treatment. There is change and there is sustainable change. Isn't China a good example of how working conditiond have somewhat improved over the past 10years or so?
Wow you may have completley missed the point of this article.
"Come here and belong!" is the startup siren song.

In my experience, even YC startups don't actually care for their employees outside of their contributions to the team. The only things that matter are the customers, the investors, and the founders-- and sometimes not even the customers.

The ideal of a small company worrying about its rank-and-file, fighting "evil" giant megacorp is frankly just a useful ruse to buy developers on the cheap. Why pay a wage when you can give kool-aid?

I haven't read his book. But Borjas, who is to be clear a bit of an outlier among economists who have studied the problem, has in the papers I've looked at estimated that immigration is (slightly) a net economic negative for the very least skilled workers in the first world. This is nowhere close to saying that the net economic effect of immigration, including the benefits to the immigrants, is negative.

How do you measure this?
A large part of what makes the first world so productive is its culture and welfare system. When new people come in they need to be trained to understand this culture and system. This training takes work and time and that puts a limit on the number of yearly newcomers. I do not find it irrational to want to keep this working in a sustainable way.

Weed is closer to grocery than it is to pharmacy, it's just a plant; one could call it an herb. I don't buy rosemary or thyme at the pharmacy, and I would never want to, because I need to touch and smell herbs to gauge their quality before I buy them. Pharmacies are for raw chemicals and pills, stuff that has approximately no variance.
When I closed my CRM system I put it on cheap hosting and left it up for all the users who are currently using it let them drop off on their own.
Yes. With regards to it being a call to arms for business leaders against Marxists/communists, that's accurate to a certain degree. If you look at what gets lumped in with marxists/communists though, it becomes pretty apparent that the memo was meant to be an assault on everything that could be "unfriendly" to business.

In the Powell memo, you can see some of the precursors to what's happening today. For instance, I think the demonization of academia in right-wing circles as well as the death of organized labor (unions) probably start with this memo (I'm not the only person who thinks this. Chomsky as elaborated on this at length.)

The Powell memo was also started the process of making lobbying both widespread and acceptable to society (even when it was legal, it used to be frowned upon.) I think most people would agree that lobbying is a cancer on our democracy.
This is a naive, or maybe even a Pollyannistic view on migration.

The right and the left (as quoted) are not wrong.

Though this doesn't mean countries should isolate themselves, but there seems to be an intrinsic human limitation on how many people it can trust and relate at one time.

the optimization suggested by exercise 5.2.4-10; this requires room

One of the best things you can do for your children is to teach them to behave in such a way that you will like them. Because if you will like them other adults are also likely to like them. When you and other adults like your children it opens up huge opportunities for growth and positive experience both inside the family and out.

I don't know exactly how that fits within the definition of being their "friend" exactly. It sounds a little adjacent to friendship to me.

It was not apparent from your article how Timsort ensures stability. After doing some reading on my own I was able to discover that it is done so by only reversing strictly decreasing runs, and by never reordering runs.

While your description covers both of those points[1], it didn't mention them together as contributing to stability.

1: Actually rereading to make sure I didn't miss anything, you have a mistake, as you say: "Runs have to be strictly increasing or decreasing" while they have to be either monotonically increasing (i.e. non-decreasing) or strictly decreasing.

so: 1,2,2,3 is a run, but 3,2,2,1 is not.
