The water levels might not rise further, and there's also the drilling option. There's even a chance that the water will recede enough to walk out; the weather report for the next week or two has ~no rain.

It's far too early to assume that only the most dangerous option is an option at all.
Despite the truth of your words [1], the impression I have is that most people are treating Labour as if it were the Remain party.

This confuses me.

[1] The only claim of yours I am not sure of is the UKIP one: I have not seen evidence to convince me UKIP voters voted tactically to prevent BINO. However, I don’t think it alters your point.
Wow.... a whole lot of speculation, a screenshot likely taken out-of-context, and a lot of FUD. BusinessInsider is getting the clicks though. Best quote ever:
"It's not clear how many cars, if any, have left the station without doing this test."

It's stuff like this that makes me actually believe Musk when he talks about people actively campaigning against Telsa. [1]

I completely agree. We went through all of this stuff as our A/B testing was evolving at Thumbtack. They seem so simple, but the deeper you get you realize they are only simple if you don't "cheat", which everybody does. And you'll only realize you are cheating in the first place if you have somebody who is maniacal about testing.

If you create a culture where positive A/B tests are lauded (which is good!), then you create a lot of people who want A/B tests to finish in positive ways. For those people, it doesn't really matter if their A/B test actually improves things, only if it looks like it does. This isn't nefarious, this is just human nature, but it creates a lot of creativity and energy at finding ways to making winning A/B tests. We'd have people run a test, where their new variation got off to a bad start, then say "oh, it was a bug", then they'd fix some irrelevant thing and start over just to reset the counters. I was guilty of it sometimes. You get excited about your tests and want them to win. That is why it is critical either to have gatekeepers like an analytics team to keep you honest or have a really specific protocol on how your company runs tests and only consider results of tests that followed the protocol.

It's not a great move career-wise to recommend something like this as an economist. Lots of funding/jobs/prestige comes via wealthy interest groups who would absolutely loathe a land value tax.

It was mooted in the UK last year and some of the newspapers (owned by wealthy landowners) went ballistic:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4575382/How-Labour-g...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/03/labours-garden-t...

The stock market would likely take a dive if this was implemented too, since a lot of company profits are predicated upon parasitic land value extraction (Trump's businesses are a good example). Politicians are usually wary of policies that might cause the stock market to take a dive because of the optics.
Spreading misinformation is cool though huh

There is currently a well-funded political campaign, backed by VC money, to change conservatorship laws in California to snatch homeless people off the street and involuntarily institutionalize them. You are doing serious harm by allowing people to spread misinformation here without challenging them, and punishing people doing the thankless work of correcting them.
Yes but how do you prosecute someone because a bomb threat was called in against them?

Which part of what he was doing should he not be doing? It was all external parties that caused the kerfuffle. He's obviously a successful broadcaster, and he's making money at it without himself breaking the law, so you can't tell him not to do that anymore. (That's a prior restraint, no?)

I agree that it's problematic and it's costing money, but if those trolls that called in the bomb threats cause his show to be closed, isn't that basically the end of free speech? The fraudulent reporting caller should be prosecuted, sure.

Anyone can call in a SWAT raid on anyone else. I myself haven't watched the show, so I don't know to what extent a conspiracy charge would stick, but ...

If I go somewhere and start a Live Vlog, and someone watching figures out where I am and manages to put the police onto my camera, "for the lulz," and that's the whole story, then why should my "broadcasting license" be revoked? Never mind no such license is required, just hypothetically.
Fortnite only offers cosmetic purchases.

Monetary exchange through this game, and many others, in this format of money for cosmetic content does not alter the gameplay mechanics in any way.

What this city really needs is restrooms. Agree with you on that. Yes, people would do drugs in them, but it would certainly help with some of the smells.

There must be more than blaming lobbyists for things one person doesn't like, but then being ok with governance changes that one does support. These copyright policies do seem to have problems, but the GPDR came through the same (similar?) process and privacy advocates seem happy about.

What would make it a better process for trading off openness to needed change vs changes under the radar vs stagnation where nothing changes?
Tokyo metro is one company of many that provide subway services in Tokyo. There’s also JR, Keisei, and several other companies. Some are fully private, some are joint ventures with the government - but key is that none of these companies have oversight power over themselves.
It's totally reasonable to expect someone to know that not peeing for an extended amount of time is not healthy. It's common sense that most bodily functions happen for a reason, and stopping the function could be dangerous.

It's even more reasonable to expect that a business running a contest would do their due diligence in assessing the safety of their contestants.
Business Insider is interested primarily in clicks, but not the worst of the bunch. I don't generally see outright lies or anything. This article included. It stated the facts that they had access to. But in any event, it isn't fair to brand all media with such a cynical brush.

Such a broad brush is reminiscent of talking about "the blacks," etc. You just can't say much that is meaningful about such a large group.

Musk has been a media darling for the last ten years. Only recently when he has run into production difficulties, high executive turnover, etc have there been any negative press at all, and Musk didn't like it one bit. He seems to have initiated whatever "tyrannical campaign" you are alluding to, not the reverse.

He's a celebrity, thanks to the media, and yet somehow he hates them? Seems like mainly a tactic for dealing with the negative but factual stories.

This story was lacking in information, but largely because of secrecy on the part of Tesla. Looks like it was reported on fairly.
Sure. But novels specifically require a greater-than-usual time investment, so they will appeal to a more niche crowd than a play, it's modern analogue, the movie, or a poem. And the length practically requires filler.

Most anyone aiming at timelessness avoids the novel format, which is far more geared towards time-killing entertainment. That doesn't mean you can't find timeless novels, but they're fairly rare. We remember Jane Austen, but not the endless legion of contemporaries inhabiting the same space she did.

Your examples themselves are instructive. Don Quixote was one of the very first novels ever written. Of course it's amazing. Dickens' novels were originally serialized in magazines, not published in full. It's a testament to his genius that they're as timeless as they are. His seminal work, A Christmas Carol was published in full, but it was a novella, not a novel.

I remember reading Anna Karenina and thinking the pacing could have been a lot tighter. The novel has almost from the beginning been pop fare, more of a business concern than an artistic one.
I don’t know what the two body problem is, but it must be a helluva problem to justify throwing away 2-3 hours each day and tens of thousands of dollars each year.

Sequenced Packets Over Ordinary TCP
Yes, that's what I've been using so far, especially filter, which works quite well with lambda. But if you have a separate function anyway it's better to make it into a generator:

def odd_range(count):
return (x for x in range(count) if x%2)

for n in odd_range(100):
...

As for the second one, I'm just not too happy with the implied two loops (even if it amounts to only one in practice).

This relies on the assumption that landlords are not already charging close to the max of what they think the market will - optimizing their earnings. I do not think that is a reasonable assumption.
I genuinely don't understand the pull of cheating in a competitive game. The whole goal is that it's a contest of skill and wits, and the "prize" is simply the emotional gratification and internet points (and when you win by cheating you remove those prizes.)

Cheating makes sense in gambling where money is at play, but your fortnight level/win-loss/etc doesn't equate to anything of value.
Unfortunately, Wisconsin has been “very effectively” gerrymandered to protect the status quo majority.

Gerrymandering is anti-democratic. We need to develop a better way.

How the Pentagon Keeps Its App Store Secure
it seems you entirely glanced over the fact that it also costs to bring large successful entities to your city. They’re usually also being simultaneously courted by other cities. They don’t just want to employ a workforce, they want business incentives. They want tax credits, they want prime location, they want natural resources, they want special exemptions. Often times the city ends up paying for the companies to come there in one way or another. Instead of being the quick payoff you describe, it can very much turn out to be a long and drawn out courting period (how long has this Amazon process been so far?) and also a long-term investment in terms of the projected payoff. And once the large company has used up the incentives they may still decide to uproot themselves from the community they had implanted themselves in and go elsewhere. So it’s still risky.

Either way, whether growing local businesses or courting big ones from elsewhere, it can be a risky investment.
A lot of cities are making shortsighted deals to attract companies and sports teams, and that's bad.

On the other hand, if companies (and individuals) were not able to shop around for the tax regimes they prefer, there would be nothing to prevent extortionate taxation -- companies and people wouldn't be able to avoid it by going somewhere else, and governments would be able to do whatever they wanted.

On balance, I prefer competition in the regulatory and taxation space over the alternative. It limits the ability of governments to use taxation as a weapon or a form of expropriation. I'd rather live in a world where governments need to attract investment rather than coerce it.

Some might say that such competition would result in a race to the bottom, but we already have that competition and taxes are still quite high in many places -- a race to the bottom would have happened by now if it was going to happen.
Well, it depends. Linq can certainly operate on in-memory lists.
Note that the firmware update doesn't fix the issue (which is Intel failed to put much cache on their chips to save $$), but merely helps to lessen the impact of Intel's shoddy hardware engineering. I would still replace your modem with a non-Intel modem ASAP if you want good performance.

This thread covers the issue pretty well: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31614833-Equip-Intel-Puma-...
Graphql is not a product pitch. I don't care. Even your product page just shows an editor that looks like a WordPress article. Why do I need graphql to pull an article from a remote api to my local cache? Your front page is just reasons why graphql is good. Maybe so, but I'm sizing you up for a cms api for my business, not a library. Technology itself is not a product
With Gigabit fiber internet I can see needing something more. I find 100Mb internet to be enough for my needs and the Wifi performance to be adequate to the NAS on the LAN. So I even prefer that there's no offload to hardware and that it's the well tested Linux kernel code doing the heavy lifting.

Some books do pay off after the slog. Anathem after about 200 pages. Cryptonomicon after 100. The Baroque Cycle after most of the first book.

Some don't.

The rule of thumb fails.

If someone has reason to know that the book does get better, then great. But it's no reason to grant every book that much leeway.
Let me make sure I'm understanding you correctly and give you a chance to clarify if I am misunderstanding (instead of immediately assuming the least charitable interpretation).

My Spanish teacher was just talking about her love for Uruguay and Montevideo. She said the culture is more vibrant in Uruguay than somewhere like Argentina.

As for learning Spanish, don't worry about the accent, even though Colombia is reputed to have the purest accent.

The only thing that will affect your ability to learn Spanish is how much time every day you spend conversing in Spanish with native speakers.

Thinking about it more... There is not much need for XML.

The inputs are plaintext replies (or HTML formatted as plaintext).

The original document is immutable.

There is no state (because it can be collated from scratch every time). EDIT: If updates are allowed in any non-email based way (e.g., via a BUI, REST APIs) then email must be generated and sent so that all the state is in the email archives and all participants can collate the same state.

But the result of the collation is more like a database and less like a document. In particular there's not much need for marking up commentary.

Multiple collation output formats will be needed: plain text, XML, XHTML, JSON. These formats/schemas are only needed for display purposes, not interchange, as the collation results can be computed independently by all who have access to the emails. This means there is nothing to standardize!

Thus collation state can be kept any way you want. XML, SQLite3, some NoSQL, any in-memory representation you like -- whatever suits you. Still, I'd use anything that has a nice, declarative query language. XML (XSLT/XPath), JSON (JSONPath, jq), or an RDBMS (SQL) -- all will do. For you, and given your emphasis on open source, SQLite3 or PostgreSQL will work best, I think. You can generate all of the output formats you need from such a database.
This applies, generally, to nonfiction works (and I apply a similar strategy, often focusing heavily on the index and endnotes, or their lack (a very bad sign)).

Less so to fiction or entertainment.
Further, if political seats are gerrymandered to protect incumbents - doesn’t this push politicians toward donor desires (and against constituent desires) as the most credible threat to their re-election is a well funded primary challenge?

That's a book I've approached conversationally -- asking it questions, essentially. And been somewhat frustrated by promising hints of deeper meanings not revealed.
> Consider Phlebas I had read and enjoyed, but it seemed flat, uninspired and uninteresting on second reading.

For what it's worth, Consider Phlebas was my introduction to Banks: I found it ok. Something like an above-average sci-fi action movie. I enjoyed reading it, and it left an impression, but not a spectacular one. However, I stuck with Banks, and by the time I got to Use of Weapons ... that was a book that really did floor me. I think Banks is really something special. Enlightening, maybe. Even if he can be uneven at times, I still haven't read anyone else quite like him.

Perhaps if I read it again, the magic wouldn't work a second time, I don't know, but it sure did work the first time.
Like expecting to be entertained? He was talking about fiction. Mentally change the word to engagement if you find entertainment too trite.

The point is that if the creator wants their work experienced, they must make the experience enjoyable in some fashion all the way through.
You Wouldn’t Steal a Meme: The Threat from Article 13
> It is interesting fact that more developed European countries, such as Switzerland (42%) or Germany (51%), tended to have a lower home ownership rate compared to less developed countries such as Lithuania (90%) or Romania (96%).

Another factor is tenant rights -- renters in places like Germany have so many rights and protections that renting is a lot more like owning than it would be elsewhere.
We do have direct accountability through the European Parliament, and the MPs I was talking about (the members of the EU Council) are the Prime Minister and the cabinet ministers. I have to assume that they are capable of thinking a bit beyond their local constituency issues.

But I actually think that none of these technicalities matter that much. What's missing in the EU democratic process is an EU wide platform for debate, a platform for campaigning on EU wide issues.

This is made more difficult by the fact that we speak so many different languages and that English proficiency is very unevenly distributed among the economic classes (and among countries).

I think what could spark EU wide political debates and allow campaigners to create real political pressure on an EU level would be a directly elected EU president. A face that you can properly hate and blame and really really want to kick out of office :)

I am very much in favour of the United States of Europe, modelled after the USA.
I agree with what you said in principle but I was going for a practical solution rather than an ideal one.
Voters should be able to control their reps, via votes. If they can't, then the representative democracy is flawed and needs new legislation to fix it - and that case should be brought to the people, so they know how to vote to fix it.
In a democracy the threat of being voted out of office can be a sufficient threat: one doesn’t require the threat of revolution.
