This is definitely the case in my experience and reading of the situation.

Here's a quote from The Coming of the Third Reich by the premier historian of the period, Richard Evans:

"Communist rhetoric had become a good deal more violent since the inauguration of the ‘third period’ by the Comintern leadership in Moscow in 1928. From this point onwards, the party directed its venom principally against the Social Democrats. Every German government in its eyes was ‘fascist’; fascism was the political expression of capitalism; and the Social Democrats were ‘social fascists’ because they were the main supporters of capitalism, taking workers away from revolutionary commitment and reconciling them to Weimar’s ‘fascist’ political system. Anyone in the leadership who tried to question this line was dismissed from his party post. Anything that would help overthrow the ‘fascist’ state and its Social Democratic supporters was welcome."

Let's take a random quote from an article on Jordan Peterson that appeared yesterday. This is a man whose claim to fame is tselling young alienated ripe for alt-right recruitment men that, yes, liberal society has a place for you, but only if you clean your room and buy my books:

"Jordan Peterson's recent speaking engagement in Hamilton prompted Coun. Matthew Green's observation that Peterson is inflammatory and popular with the alt-right. And yet Peterson is frequently lauded as today's most important public intellectual. In fact, Peterson is less an intellectual than he is a gifted motivational speaker for racists and misogynists."

Jordan Peterson is de-radicalizing young men back towards an open and free society and is bringing back the cachet of public intellectuals (which is sad as Noam Chomsky is still alive). For some reason, the inquisitional progressives view this de-radicalization as a bad thing. It's absolutely bonkers.
Well, let's just say that somehow what you are saying is correct. How comfortable would you be investing in a long-term muni bond after that? If you were a contractor, how would you feel about working on a long-term project for a state or local government? Who would want to work for the government when there is no way to trust that any of the benefits will materialized (other than the salary; then again, who knows?)

It's not just former employees that will suffer. Everyone suffers when states have to pay higher interest rates on their bonds because of poor credit ratings (that's what bankruptcy does to a state) or have to pay more for workers and contractors. Everyone will have to pay higher taxes and everyone will receive less from the government.

I cannot understand the logic of not making good on government obligations. You can take the position that the government should stop promising pensions, but how can anyone think it is a good idea for the government to fail to pay for the pensions it already promised people (or, frankly, any other promise the government made)?

I graduated from a boot camp < 2 years ago, got a job 2.5 months after graduating. (I’m in a smaller market, ~150k residents in the area.) I found networking to be my key to success. I began going to Meetups before I started boot camp, and started inviting key people to coffee after I graduated. I landed a few interviews that way and had a couple of offers quickly probably because they knew me a little bit.

If I can be any more help my contact info is in my profile, feel free to reach out.

The guarantees - constitutional in some states - are what will cause the problem to be bigger.

When you can't resolve unsustainable debt without bankruptcy, then you will go bankrupt and credit rating be damned.

> Well, we are the ones paying those people's pensions, in the form of taxes, so we're the ones fucking ourselves over if they got too sweet of a deal right?

And how does this square with this being a democracy ? Or to put it another way: you're also (indirectly, but ...) the ones promising sweet pensions to these people if they would just work. And they worked. Now you want to revoke your part of the bargain ?

Furthermore, if you refuse to pay for their pensions ... do future kids get to refuse to pay for yours ? (either directly, or through devaluing the currency, just in case your answer is that private sector pensions are safe)

But we all know that there's no answer here, so it'll be devaluation. At least that means private and public pensions are equally screwed (I'm leaning socialist, so I like fairness in the sense that people get treated the same).

I’m an American private pilot unconnected to Flytenow other than being an interested observer in the broad space.

U.S. Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) — or Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) — Part [91] covers personal flights, FAR Part [135] charter and cargo operations, and, for completeness, FAR Part [121] commercial air carriers. Under Part 91, pilots may accept pro rata share of direct costs from passengers. Flytenow sought to facilitate ride sharing based on this allowable cost sharing, but the FAA determined that advertising planned flights to the general public would be “holding out,” behavior reserved for commercial operators and therefore a no-no.

As for why they didn’t move, I suspect the sizes of the general aviation markets in the U.S., Europe, and Asia carried at least some weight.

ubereats is a flanking product, meant to protect the core business. strategically, uber really only has market power on the supply side, and ubereats is primarily about protecting that advantage and less about being a standalone business (although i'm sure they'd be thrilled if it succeeded as a standalone business).

i'd be surprised if ubereats went away any time soon. at least, not without something else replacing it.
Being able to define the type of something with a lot of flexibility. Most languages only allow one kind of type. Typescript can have unions or types from intersections or extended types. It has an innovate set of type algebra inspired from different languages over time.

Not only that but once you have types for inputs, it can infer a lot of things. Augment the humans with almost magical code completion ability because it can reason using types and static code. It helps catch a whole bunch of issues in a dynamic language like Javascript.

I’d say Typescript makes javascript fun and scalable to use.
So, it's not a backup. It's a document containing basic instructions for how to eventually build a database that's similar to your PROD copy.

I wouldn't pay through the nose for that, either. Especially when we could be putting that time and energy into not losing the PROD deployment, today, with a much better ROI.

We don't need to worry about hypothetical 50-million year meteor strike extinction events. We're in the middle of one, that we could be taking action to deal with - for much less the cost of a self-sufficient Mars base.

Remember, Falcon Heavy is far from the biggest rocket since Saturn. Even if you discount Space Shuttles - which still were quite a significant achievement even for our time - you still have to remember two flights of Energiya. That puts SpaceX work in perspective - yes, it's important and FH (when it flies) can lift the most, but don't expect comparison on the level of Apollo-11 or Vostok.
It's not about the answers, but about thinking deeply about these questions and questioning your own assumptions (and those of others).

I'd highly recommend taking an intro to philosophy course, or one on ancient philosophy, where you can read the Socratic dialogues and engage with them in a group setting, along with others who are encountering these for the first time.

When done well, if you're lucky enough to have a good teacher and be in a group of students who are willing to engage fully with the reading and talk about it in class, this can be an experience like no other.

The union leaders and the politicians - typically in their 50 to 70s - who made the promises will be dead by the time the 25 year old new hires try to collect their pensions at 55 or 65. The incentives are all sorts of screwed up and it's very difficult to create a healthy set of constraints for this kind of bargaining.

> But even when a city says to unionized workers, you can keep your pension but new hires get moved to a 401k, the unions say no.

Well, yeah, because then 5 years down the road, when the city tries to shift pension contributions from the city to covered employees on the defined benefit plan, newer employees have no incentive to support the older employees and the employer can split the union. Which is why unions resist anything that gives different covered employees radically different contract interests.

The reason most of the features of the JIT are needed is due to the lack of static typing in javascript. The most important thing the JIT does is figure out what types of things you are using and optimize for them.

There will always be some cost here, because at runtime you need to check if your assumptions still hold. Some of the time you can pull these checks out of loops, but sometimes you can't, and they can be costly.

There are a few things a JIT can theoretically do better. Inlining is the biggest one. For example, a JIT knows not to inline a function that never gets called, and it can also do inlining for indirect calls based on profile data. A JIT could also theoretically move unexecuted blocks out of line for better instruction cache locality. It could also check for aliasing at run time (with a bailout) and then optimize a loop assuming no aliasing.

Unfortunately for JITs, AOT compilers can do a pretty good simulation of most of these things with PGO, that is running a scenario with an instrumented binary and re-optimizing using profile data.

Still can't bailout if an assumption is wrong, so it doesn't work for dynamic languages, but you don't really need bailout for much in static languages.

Eh - Rails is good. Really good. And I don't think it is just _so_ flawed that another framework has to come along and make things better. It's also fast, has a great ecosystem, is one of the least buggy development environments, enjoyable to work with...

That said, Crystal needs a rails-like framework. And who knows - maybe it will come to replace rails as the most productive and enjoyable framework for web development. But it'll take a while, a long while, to replicate the robustness that rails has - and a lot of that has to come from a vibrant community.

But it's not changing any games - it's still just a web development framework, for a language that's not even at 1.0.

Keep in mind that a lot of performance differences come out of the snowball effect of popularity driving product development. X86 being faster than MIPS today has nothing to do with the relative merits of the ISAs and everything to do with the millions of people who wanted to run X86 code really fast for the past 25 years. JavaScript's foray into this scale of popularity is pretty recent, with the widespread adoption of "Web 2.0" and AJAX only dating back to about 2005 (both are older, but spent a while in the throes of obscurity and incompatibility).

The funny thing here is we might already have the best solution to the "easy" automation scenario: Trains. It's a shame they're so expensive and require special tracks.

6.2 million globally. I can't find figures for total number of Big Macs sold each day globally, but I'm guessing it's in the ball park of 6.2 million. The coins will likely be gone before the day is out.

Consider the following factoids in the context of exchange rates and PPP. In other words, the ratio of foreign customers to domestic is probably far greater than foreign revenue to domestic revenue.

Factoids:

* Roughly 1.5 million Big Macs sold each day in the U.S. alone. https://expandedramblings.com/index.php/mcdonalds-statistics...

* U.S. accounts for less than half of global revenues. See https://www.statista.com/topics/1444/mcdonalds/ and https://www.statista.com/statistics/219453/revenue-of-the-mc...

* They serve over 60 million customers globally each day. http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2012/04/30/13-Disturb...

This is exactly why people have been screaming about this problem for a couple of decades.

It is going to be HUGE and do incredible damage. Retirees will be hurt catastrophically, costs of government borrowing will skyrocket, programs will be cut massively, workers will abandon government.

The issue is that the costs of meeting the prior obligations will be completely impossible. States, cities, and school districts will go bankrupt, massive numbers of people will be fired, and taxes will go up while service goes down.

Unfortunately the politics prevent a fix today and prevented a fix 10 or 20 years ago when it would have been much cheaper. The fix will happen in 10 to 20 years and it's going to be horrific.

> Or money printed to pay ordinary people whose retirement savings had collapsed through no fault of their own. And yes, that would have caused inflation

We did exactly that. The Fed orchestrated the greatest ordinary person bailout the world has ever seen: it reinflated the US housing market and salvaged the net worth of the entire middle class in the process.

It did cause vast inflation. Just look at the cost of a house in 2012 vs 2018 or the equity situation then vs now:

Average gain on a home sale in 1Q04: positive ~$50,000.

Average gain on a home sale in 1Q12: negative ~$50,000.

Average gain on a home sale in 1Q18: positive ~$55,000.

https://i.imgur.com/SfktmBU.png

Median sales price for homes sold in the US:

1Q06: $247,000 (peak bubble...)

1Q12: $238,000

1Q18: $338,000 (!)

Those recent gains are very heavy with inflation courtesy of the Fed, and they are entering the real economy slowly but surely with every exit. That's also why the Fed is being forced to raise interest rates when it's the last thing the economic party wants.

The artificially juiced stock market (artificial courtesy of the low rates), which has created millions of new millionaires in the last four or so years, is also inflationary. It has also helped to salvage countless pension funds for large numbers of ordinary persons, funds that were badly under water. Every time someone sells their hilariously inflated Netflix stock at 200 times earnings, they can thank the Fed, and when they dump that into the economy (consumer goods or housing) it's inflation in action.
