It's in the Jay report (http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/downloads/file/1407/independent_...):

By far the majority of perpetrators were described as 'Asian' by victims, yet throughout the entire
period, councillors did not engage directly with the Pakistani-heritage community to discuss how
best they could jointly address the issue. Some councillors seemed to think it was a one-off problem,
which they hoped would go away. Several staff described their nervousness about identifying the
ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought racist; others remembered clear direction
from their managers not to do so.

> So if "nobody" even tried, why is the left at fault? Wouldn't be "everybody" at fault?

Nobody in the left tried is what I mean, not nobody in general. Parts of the right did try, but they get dismissed as far-right loonies (apparently the rational thing to do about this is to not care, and memory-hole it?).

> the justice system deals with such things. Not politics or the media or twitter.

This would be ideal, but the justice system dealt with it only after decades, thousands of victims, and even some murders. This was a massive government failure that has been memory-holed, and you seem to believe it's some kind of non-event.
And yet Australia and many other had and have high housing prices as well and they didn't have recession.

So this oversimplified theory is really just your confirmation bias.

I guess it looked to me like you were singling out IO as a special case, when what you are saying is true of all abstractions. You can just as easily say "you don't have to understand algebraic groups to do integer addition."
"So to say that Economists still "don't get" the 2008 crisis is a somewhat heavy rose-colored embellishment of the actual state of the field."

Have economists actually changed their models, or are they still referring to the 2008 crisis as an unexpected shock?

What are the chances that their "understanding" of the 2008 crisis will prevent them from being surprised by the next one?
I wonder when are we going to have some low resolution (good enough to spot a car) realtime recording of the full globe. I know it's tons of data but with some machine learning it should be possible to skip most of oceans forests and deserts (unless some unusual object appears in that area).

The simpler device might or might not have an economic advantage. There are a lot of variables.

A backhoe is actually very complex - the simple device is a stick. A thousand humans with a stick can do as much work in a week as a single human with a backhoe can do in a day. It only takes a few weeks to pay off the more complex backhoe. Of course your humans can use their bare hands for a further reduction in productivity.

A backhoe is less complex than a horizontal drill, and the drill is less versatile overall. However the drill can go under a structure without harming it which can be a big economic win. If you are just doing a shallow pipe through an open field they are fairly competitive in price though.

The simple device has an economic advantage when the task is not repeated often enough to pay off the costs of the more complex machine (this includes maintenance costs which can be more than the initial investment)
Operations that in Clojure require only changing the kind of brackets, in Common Lisp are more verbose and explicit. If you don’t see the clean syntax and simple utility in that then fair enough, but I do.

>You mean you like it if somebody writes a book criticizing another profession even while he clearly has not studied either modern economics or even the history of intellectual thought in economics. I wish more people would do that, sound like a healthy thing for science.

You do realize that it's a history book and is not actually about economics at all?

I didn't read much in that book that even discusses modern economic thought. The closest he gets is debunking the story about money arising because of a coincidence of wants. That's hardly a lynchpin of modern economic thought though - it's a story told to 19 year olds in econ 101.

A lot of people don't like him because he's left wing, I suppose.

Whatever the truth is about the numbers you present.

The argument that the recession happened because of a fragility of inequality is a highly speculative theory. I have not heard a single economist make that claim.

Also, it fails as an explanation because you are explaining a momentary event with a long term situation.
Not much, really. You can setup a company remotely, only to have to come to Estonia anyway to try to open a bank account and most likely get rejected.

A monad is a standard interface for the Interpreter pattern.

That's why you would want it. That's what you gain from them. It is a very easy standard to implement if your interpreter is simple, it can be composed into more complex interpreters, and languages that support it come with many basic implementations that you can use to construct something more complex.

The mathematicians are saying basically the same thing, but from another point of view (monoid on the category of endofunctors means computations, with an environment, that you can join one after the other) that focus much more on standards than on usability, and much more on formality than on how to make large structures out of it, so the names are different.
I like to think of monads as a supporting sidecar wrapper. It's almost like a plugin system; you can extend some base computation to have additional functionality for free.

This becomes really obvious how much boilerplate can be "lift"ed in something like the Flare library for PureScript (https://david-peter.de/articles/flare/).

Ex:

lift2 ( * ) (int "a" 6) (int "b" 7)

This generates 2 text fields, hooks up the change events, plumbs them into a third UI component that renders the product of the 2 fields.

Fundamentally we are just saying we want "a * b" but the monad / sidecar does all the extra work to make UI components and hook up the change events.
> The simpler device will always have an economic advantage.

The recent history of technology suggests otherwise. General-purpose devices displace simpler single-purpose devices. Consider all the specialized, but relatively simple, circuits displaced by the desktop computer.
and just as easy to recover data from a formatted device unless a secure wipe is done (which takes time and knowledge).

I work in banking and we shred drives when we are done with them for this reason.
I didn't mean to critize all axiomatization but the concrete axiomatizations arrived at by PL research. In my opinion, one should start with a thorough understanding of the problem domain, and then try to come up with a syntax that allows expression of your intuition as faithfully as possible. Form follows function. Instead, I feel like PL research is often too focused on the concrete syntax considered, thus function follows form. Case in point: Building models for the syntax at hand is often an afterthought, done only to prove consistency. I'd argue that one should start with as precise an understanding of the intended models as possible, and then come with up with an axiomatization (thus, syntax) for the intended semantics.

For example, the notion of elementary topos has been invented because its creators wanted to capture the way Grothendieck toposes kind of behave like constructive sets. This I find very useful, and also the axiomatizations of elementary toposes. On the other hand, Martin-Löf type theory didn't have a formal semantics at first, then an erroneous one, and finally ~20 years later a kind of acceptable one. And its category of models is... not really interesting. Except for categories of assemblies, I don't know of a single model of ML type theory that's not also an elementary topos. And the interesting thing about assemblies is that they can be turned into objects of the associated topos... so yeah.
> Animations slow down interfaces

To be pedantic:

Animations can introduce latency to interfaces.

This is the main point that people need to understand. So long as you aren't making the user wait (even just a few milliseconds) for an animation to happen, you should be OK.

Granted, it's easy to go overboard. I certainly prefer a cleaner UI.

Better integration with Audible (another Amazon property) seems like it would be a slam dunk. One of my largest frustrations with my audiobook habit is that there is no single source of truth for my to-read list. I need the books I'm interested in to be in an Audible wish list so I can get alerts when they're on sale, but then it's divorced from my currently-reading and completed indices in GR.

Good point, that would certainly confuse the situation if there was a 5x variation. Even though they aren't treated the same as drugs there are still quailty standards in the US, although they don't seem to be enforced very well. I try to find suppliers that do better testing. If you have the money for FDA approved stuff you can get ramelteon or tasimelteon these days. But they are quite expensive. Although it looks like the ramelteon patent expires next year and there are a couple of approved generics already so prices should go down quickly next year:

I got 1g pure melatonin powder from a now gone supplier that did good quailty testing. It takes me several tries to get something that looks like about .3mg since it is such a tiny amount and I'm sure there is quite a bit of variation, but I'm fairly sure I at least get < .5mg each time.
The US could insure 30 million more Americans and virtually eliminate out-of-pocket health care expenses while saving $2 trillion in the process, according to a new report about Medicare for All released by the libertarian Mercatus Center.

That's pretty amazing. Also, I imagine that there is a sizable contingent of would-be entrepreneurs who would love to jump ship and pursue their dreams but are held back by a need to be able to provide their families with health care. Removing that impediment would be a huge boon to entrepreneurialism in the United States.

Also, the correction at the end is pretty remarkable:

Note: this post originally stated that the estimated savings from Medicare for All would be $303 billion, rather than $2.054 trillion. We regret the error.
Umm, no? I mean, yes, Richard Florida wrote that CityLab piece, but the quote I gave at the start of this thread ("The conclusion must be that Jackson has an oversupply of parking.") is from the report that Florida cites, that is, "Quantified Parking: Comprehensive Parking Inventories for Five U.S. Cities", by Eric Scharnhorst, Principal Data Scientist Parkingmill.

As I pointed out, it seems that Jackson is willing to rent out parking spots for housing, which suggests that they think there is too much free parking at the height of the tourist season, and not enough housing.

I don't see the point of your seemingly ad hominem statements. Eg, "internet personality"? What does that mean? Wouldn't "urban studies theorist" or "best-selling author" be better descriptions?

Since it wasn't Florida making the statement I quoted - it was not made by an 'internet personality' - does it make the statement more accurate?

If only we could find the "Town Of Jackson Parking Garage Challenges to Success" document.

IIRC they use "collapsars", which are wormhole-like things that are discovered, not made (or maybe left there by a previous civilization?). They spend weeks and months accelerating to and decelerating from collapsars, but I don't think they mention ramjets as a means to accelerate and decelerate in "normal space".

You can be against neoliberalism, unfair trade, or international political entities overriding national sovereignty without being antisemitic.

Picking a dog whistle term that happens to sound like a reasonable position is a standard political tactic. Another example: "family values" which is a euphemism for theocracy. Who would actually oppose "the family"?

I am a fan of Austrian economics and von Mises and Hayek. However I think you are seriously mis-characterizing them.

The von Mises Instiute is a very finge even within the Austrian tradition. They are essentially Hard Core Southern Rothbardians. They mis-characterize Mises as the perfect pre-Rothbard.

Peter Schiff in particular is not even an Austrian economist and he widely mis-characterizes the Austria Business Cycle theory.

If you want to learn actual Austrian Economics monetary economics go read Selgin, White, Horowitz. In general the GMU Austrians are far better then anything that comes out of the Mises institute.

Bitcoin Mining Company Bitmain Hit $1.1B in Profits in Q1 2018
Looking historically, there were periods where interest rates remained low for a long period of time. How long can we afford to hold up bonds going forward? Such a question has been asked by the zero hedge and other pessimist crowd for at least the past 15 years of this bull market in bonds.

At a basic game strategy level, you might assume that Russia either has good info or has been deceived. Thus one could bet that we are at an inflection point with bonds, with a move away in either direction. A look at the long term 30 year interest rate chart we are at long term downtrend. So a trader may use a simple strategy, by playing direction or volatility away from that downtrend line.

I think the question was about whether they existed in the JavaScript community.

I'm sure much of Typescripts great features are not completely novel nor unique—e.g. generics come from c# and Java—but it is responsible for bringing them to JavaScript.
Haldeman doesn't use Ramjets in 'Forever War'[0], since the soldiers have access to Collapsars (black holes?) for instantaneous point-to-point jumps.

Serverless in this context is Server-aaS. It's doublespeak. That's why I "knee-jerk".

Instead of a couple of servers you have thousands of small virtual servers running on real server and call that serverless. It's comical.

I wonder what hell this approach will be for legacy serverless systems where there is stuff running everywhere and no one got a clue where to pull the plug or patch stuff.
I have never read the book, but “collapsar” was a term used before ‘Black Hole’ became popular as it is today.
You should learn about the 'Sumner critic'.

If monetary policy is not already allowing fiscal policy to expand then 'digging holes and filling them in' has ZERO impact on AD.

And if that is the case then you don't need fiscal policy at all. So no, it never makes sense to 'dig holes and fill them back in'.
I use one is the ASUS ones and like it. But from my understanding is that security wise, all consumer routers are bad. I have nothing to back up that claim with. I keep mine as updated as possible.

My comment isn't actually about this specific book; I made the title up impromptu, and so it refers to a category of book in my imagination. (See comment edit.) Of course, that specific book constitutes an example of what I'm talking about.

I doubt Wicca would have did anything like that. Gardner founded Gardnerian Wicca back in the 1950s. Alexanderian Wicca soon was after that.

Historically, Gardner was looking at creating a naturalistic Thelema. A lot of whoopie witches glomed onto that and turned it into crystal toting fairies kind of religion.

I know of the Gnostic Mass from Thelema, but again, theres nothing like what you're describing. Similar, with the Golden Dawn, or Theosophy, or Enochian magic - There's nothing like what you describe.

You do say "witches" which I will assume European magical tradition. My first reaction is that what you say is akin to "telephone game" and stories so convoluted that its just a horror story.

I can ask some of my sources whom know more, but this doesn't sound like a credible story.
>Serious question: will Earth after a super volcano be less habitable than Mars?

Depending on how far you were from the eruption you could die the first hour within several hundred miles. Outside of that radius you're going to be exposed to the ash/particulate which you DO NOT WANT TO BREATHE as it gets in your lungs and basically becomes a concrete-like sludge that will suffocate/drowned you from hours to days after you inhale enough and some of it will be so fine that even holding a wet towel to your face or using a common commercial respirator won't do a damn thing.

Within a month or two most plant life and animal life would be dead and markedly less sunlight would be reaching the surface of the Earth, the surface temperatures would quickly get below freezing as well.

At this point, while the pressure on the surface is survivable, it would be effectively as deadly as Mars. Some humans might survive on the surface of Earth the first year but conditions would be hellish and miserable, any chance of real survival would be individuals living in government bunkers around the world that have access to fresh water and food storage. If weather co-operated some of these people would survive until the ash had settled out of the atmosphere enough to allow plant life to begin to grow again and once it could it should start spreading relatively quickly as andisols are some of the most fertile soil on earth (andisols are formed from volcanic ash as it breaks down).
