I respectfully disagree partially.(I agree black boxes are insufficient, unless the democratic process is modeled/accepted as a black box)

I believe in the utility of separation of powers: a true democratic legislative branch, a provable executive branch, and a mechanically verifiable judgement branch.

I don't mind if you call the democratic facet of the legislative branch messy. Learning to make proper decisions for novel situations tends to be messy, because we learn from our mistakes, and mistakes are messy.

As long as the way the population would democratically prefer the case to be judged is captured/modeled accurately by the law, the formal mechanical law is suitable. If the way the mechanical law is applied does not capture the way we want things to be handled (what I presume you refer to with a messy case) the legislative branch should be activated to change the law, and we want the legislative branch to be democratic because it's what makes sure that the population consults their ethics and feelings (community taste can not be proven, except by poll).

So the mess is restricted to just the first instance of unforeseen situations. ("History repeats itself, the first time as a tragedy, and from then on as a farce")
> If corporations couldn’t offer new stock, they’d lose access to their primary source of funds. IPOs and VC rounds wouldn’t exist, for example.

Not necessarily. [Major] Shareholders could sell part of their stock and invest in company or as in OP's case not sell all issued stock right away. I think OP's point is that majority shareholders by issuing more shares dilute themselves at the expense of all shareholders, i.e. it is possible to issue more shares by diluting major shareholder 80% -> 60%, than by selling 25% of their holdings).

I agree that new money could be a catalyst for further growth and increase total value held by each shareholder, but shares are also ownership and share dilution irrecoverably reduces ownership stake. I guess that was OP's point

What do you mean by "extra money"? Also, are you against employer-mandated leave too?

> they have a hybrid system where the employer covers some significant percentage

In Germany, the employer doesn't cover any significant percentage - the money comes from the state.

IMHO the Copenhagen interpretation should have been taken as "this is the best we can come up right now" (instead of an "all-in") and while the original Bohmian mechanics do have some issues it does sound like they threw the baby out with the bathwater.

(In the end the most successfully interpretation has been the "shut up and do the math" one, but the interpretations help us find unexplored and contradictory sides of the theory and hopefully help to find new experimental possibilities)
8 Big Mistakes Holding You Back as a Web Designer Pt.2

My 386sx/25MHz also had a turbo button. It was rather useless, as I wanted the machine to go faster, not slower...

Here's another turbo-nostalgia memory from further back:

The Commodore C64 tape drive had a small hole which let you adjust the tape head azimuth to get a better signal. Sometimes, after borrowing tapes with games from a friend, one had to do adjustments as the turbo loader did not load the game correctly.

Hence the adjustment screw was called "the turbo screw".

America was partly founded upon the reaction to injustices foisted on the populace by people who largely had power based on their familial lineage. These people who inherited their power were largely insulated from making mistakes, and hence one could say they were less likely to learn. They were also more insulated from poor fortune making them less likely to be empathetic.

So I would suggest if you want to be ruled by people who are less learned and less empathetic then doing away with high estate taxes might be a way to achieve that.

Oh, I think you're spot-on. I've definitely spent more time consciously practicing typing and I used to have some bad habits when typing QWERTY (e.g. using the wrong shift for certain characters or typing 'Y' with my left hand). In fact, what initially prompted my interest in custom ortho keyboards was trying to rectify some of my bad habits in QWERTY and finding it really painful on my wrists to touch-type the "proper" way using a standard staggered keyboard.

I think the biggest benefit for me has been exactly that - taking a whole new look at a skill I thought I had figured out - Or going beyond what I thought was my limit by approaching it in a new way. I think the numbers and WPM don't really matter, but it's a nice way for me to personally quantify my improvement and progress over time. That said, I think it would've been impossible to for me to do all this without discarding the familiar (QWERTY) and starting from scratch. In that sense, the layout matters.
Cool! Someone should make a sleeker interface for it.

Something to consider is that the trend of replacing consumer electronics, namely phones and computers, every 2 years might be getting to a stop as new hardware no longer offers considerable improvements over old hardware.

Also there is a second hand market for iPhones.
Potentially less spoilage, because it would be limited to just one slice, and also less risk of smelly fingers. It's simply a convenience and comfort issue for a lot of people. We've gotten used to pre-sliced, pre-portioned food products. There's also a big convenience benefit for breakfast buffets and similar situations where slicing your own cheese is seen as inconvenient, messy and time-consuming.

Personally I don't even like to buy pre-sliced cheese, never mind individually packaged slices. I have a perfectly reasonable cheese slicer, and a cheese knife for softer cheeses. We absolutely do not need plastic packages with 10 slices of cheese, separated by individual plastic sheets.

Most of the time the pre-sliced cheese also tastes worse, and tends to go sour-smelling after a day or two, once the package is opened. I find it extremely puzzling that we've managed to turn a thing meant to preserve dairy potentially for years, into something prone to spoiling extremely quickly.

There's a similar issue with pre-sliced serrano ham and other meats that are packaged with plastic sheets between them. Sure, it helps you to take out a single slice cleanly, but the plastic waste is insane. I'm not sure if there's a better packaging solution, but honestly I would just prefer to buy a whole piece of cured ham, and slice off thin pieces myself instead.
Can we use this idea to make enviro-degradable plastic bags that won’t clog up the oceans? (Maybe not cost effective, but could there be a cheaper compound out there?)

They just repurposed a system that was designed in the 1930s to keep Jews out, to keeping Asians out. The smoking gun is how the admissions committee's ratings for “personality” differ so much from alumni volunteer interviewers.
Happy news for you the I guess; Eagle Dynamics just recently announced "Modern Air Combat", which is a friendlier version of their hardcore flagship DCS simulator. Essentially a follow-up on their more game-like LockOn.

i think the real reason for this is related to the availability of easy-to-use and up to date learning materials, more than anything else

Those people who are good at OS/Compilers etc would still need to use a tutorial to pick up HTML/CSS/JS...and due to the popularity and inclusiveness of the web dev community, they will find it relatively easy to find high quality interactive tutorials that can get them up and running quite quickly. Additionally a lot of the web is designed to be easy to use...its the reason why we're all using HTML5 and not XHTML right now. I think of the current competition between Vue, React, Angular and others to basically be an ease-of-use competition. Its genuinely quite cool that web developers are making fairly tricky concepts easy to use with these libraries.

On the other hand, a lot of material about OSes, compilers, embedded systems is relatively obscure, frequently out of date, possibly difficult to find outside textbooks and research papers, and open source libraries in these domains might even require looking through source code just to figure out how to use a library. A lot of these communities are also indirectly elitist, leading to various sorts of bootstrapping problems for newcomers (I've heard "if you can't build the Linux kernel, why are you even trying to learn about it" several times on different mailing lists :/)

As a personal anecdote, I work on compiler and OS things as part of my job, and most people on my team have a high degree of respect towards web dev work. There are only 2 people on my team who think that we could easily do some light web dev: me and another colleague, both of us who've done actual web dev jobs for several years before transferring to our current team. So I don't think web dev is easier, but just far more accessible than a lot of other fields.
Depending on how they handle ex-rental devices this could result in more reuse. It's not clear. But happening in Germany is a good sign - Germany is very big on environmental responsibility.

If others are curious what Shakti means, as I was, here's the Wikipedia summary

> Shakti is the concept or personification of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as “The Great Divine Mother” in Hinduism. As a mother, she is known as “Adi Shakti” or “Adi Parashakti”. On the earthly plane, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifest form.[3] Hindus believe that Shakti is both responsible for creation and the agent of all change. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, its most significant form being the Kundalini Shakti, a mysterious psychospiritual force.[4][5]

> In Shaktism, Shakti is worshipped as the Supreme Being. Shakti embodies the active feminine energy of Shiva and is synonymously identified with Tripura Sundari or Parvati.

English is a very conciseness language too! ;-)
Your last point is incoherent. Every single person benefits from education. The person benefiting from time off for maternity/paternity is the parent much more than the child.

If you're poor/young bad boss/start up and have kids it's tough yes. It's also tough if you don't have kids, and they're a choice.

It's kind of pointless to argue left/right, dismiss me with a label if you want. This only exists in a few very left wing countries so I don't think opposing it puts me on a fringe somewhere.

The point is that maternity/paternity leave is the rest of society subsidising parents, who are not doing anything useful by adding to existing overpopulation. Not whether I'm left wing or right wing. If you want to make life easier then I'd go for basic income over selective welfare that disproportionately benefits the already privileged.
It's a fad, but I think most companies are well aware of this.

For them, it's an excuse to sell a proprietary bit of hardware and to differentiate their offering from their competitors. It's pretty much what Nintendo have done since the Wii - they couldn't compete on power, so they used gimmicks to differentiate their games from their competitors. They lose out on the mainstream market and numerous third-party games, but they deliver enough quality to sustain a console throughout its lifetime, even if you only buy Nintendo games.

Some fads stick around. Nintendo created the rumble pak, and now all controllers rumble. Some don't, like VR and motion sensing. What matters is that they sell.
> Employers don't care who you marry; they care if you marry. Although, those matters are related.

Sure. And if you are married to someone of the same gender, you reach the situation where the question of if you are married has different answers to different people.

Or more precisely, your employer doesn't care if you are married, either; many states had processes for extending insurance benefits to either registered domestic partners or unregistered people that you just state an intention to live with long-term in a marriage-like way. Your employer cares that the social good promoted by insuring a family and not just the individual employee is a) actually being used when appropriate and b) not being used contrary to their wishes when not. If the employee's and employer's idea of social good and social ill are at odds, the employee should think twice about whether this employer is a good long-term (or even short-term) place for them.

The fact that this question arises with a significant number of Mozilla employees made Mozilla and Eich a poor match.

No, that's silly. Witches don't have "rituals to fight Christians," excepting the fringe sort of bigots that can be found in every religion. This is a stereotype that derives from medieval Christian ideology as informed by modern right-wing Evangelical paranoia, whereby all so-called "pagan" religions are assumed to be explicitly Satanic.

Maybe take a minute on Google and try to find out what practitioners of other religions believe about themselves, rather than what their enemies believe about them.

I am constantly surprised by this point of view. Blockchain is a solution to a number of problems that were previously unsolvable, yet so much of the discourse is around the idea that decentralised trust doesn't really solve any useful problems. True many of the applications are hype, but we need to recognise these for what they are and move on to more interesting things.

To me the best example is the travel industry. Decades ago a small number of companies managed to get manual back office systems moved to centralised booking and reservation systems. This had a huge impact on the ability to sell inventory and open up the world of online travel agencies.

These centralised platforms are still around and they are now a huge problem. The software is bloated, complicated and slow, integrating with any GDS is painful and only ever allowed on their terms. It is amazing to me the amount of time and effort and startups that have gone into just trying to find the cheapest flight available.

This is fertile ground for decentralised trust. Having a local copy of the live flight inventory or a large aggregate set of hotel inventory would revolutionise the travel industry. Sure there are also applications around settlement and financing, but to me the most exciting thing is the ability to build customer applications on large sets of provably correct, trusted data. And to do this freely in the manner you chose with the technology you chose.
