"The goal of a speeding ticket is not to collect $50, it is to save lives by detering people from speeding.."

It was once, maybe.
I wonder how many people are actually turned from minor offenders into full criminals by the current law/jail system. To me it looks like the goal is to operate an artificial selection on the human species to encourage those who help the economy more. That is, legalized Eugenics.
How likely are those people to vote Republican though? If there is little change of that then introducing a harsh new law might win more votes than it would lose.

Some operations can't be undone. So you would need to wrap them in commands that would make undone possible. That would be interesting...
Armchair chemistry ahead:

Molecular hydrogen is unpolarized while ammonia molecules can establish hydrogen bonds, thus packing them more densely under the same conditions.

For really dense hydrogen we would need its metallic form but that requires pressures you might find in the core of jupiter. The electromagnetic force is more convenient than gravity.
Sure. Somebody made up their mind what they wanted to do, they were required by law to seek public comments.

That 98% of unique comments and an overwhelming majority of public discussion were on one side of the issue, and they were then overwhelmed by obviously fake comments on the other side of the issue very conveniently allowed Pai to say "the results of the comment period are invalid, so we're going to disregard the comments and do what we had already planned to do anyway"

Given the track record of this administration so far, I feel pretty comfortable extrapolating from limited data and drawing conclusions that would not hold up in a court of law. Unless these folks are suddenly becoming much smarter than they look, chances are this will either be proven soon, or more likely swept under the next larger scandal.

Hopefully we can also agree that they were not going to listen to the public and knew before the comment period had even opened what they would do, and wouldn't be stopped. But in the realm of things we can prove, they definitely did not want to acknowledge the difference between what happened and "what happened." It played strongly to their advantage and successfully muddied the waters in furtherance of their stated goals.

I don't think we would have to do it way before. Gasoline is toxic, and flammable. Hydrogen is flammable. Cars pump out Carbon Monoxide which is toxic.

We are well past the "safe side" currently and it seems to be going ok.

Are highschoolers considered not able to make their own decisions in the US? In my country, high school means you're 15 and up, and that means that you're basically an adult, with some exceptions (both de facto and de iure); then depending on how much you actually act as an adult, you're allowed to do things. E.g. it's possible to ask a judge to allow you to start a company; all contracts you enter are legally binding if it's reasonable that you understood them, etc.
That seems a fairly reasonable fine to me - if the speeder has "annual income of more than $820,000 and is worth well over $20 million" then why shouldn't he pay more?

Because his income isn't anything to do with the offence.
That page should be updated.

I was suspicious about #3 since classes in D don't necessarily need the GC. For starters D supports C++ classes, so this works:

https://gist.github.com/atilaneves/b69ed0399efac21bb7a977afd...

I used `scope` with `new` to allocate on the stack, but `emplace` should just work as well to "placement new" a class in malloc'ed memory.

#4 is annoying but one could always use the OS threading API. It's doable to write a library solution to do that akin to boost or Qt before C++11. You do it once and it's there.

#5 No dynamic arrays are also annoying. But... writing a clone of std::vector isn't hard, and there's a unique array in my automem library that _should_ be usable in betterC (but I haven't checked): https://github.com/atilaneves/automem/blob/master/source/aut...

> Another note is that a big thing I'm looking for is massively improved compile times

You get that with D.
Does anyone know what the potential as a utility-scale energy storage medium is?

Truth is a very difficult thing to pin down. Anyone who can justify their own truth is probably going to welcome dissenting argument; it's a perfect opportunity to put the case forward and spread the news.

I think people who aim to suppress dissent are doing it primarily out of an inability to establish their own arguments. It is purely an act of will and an expression of power. Saying, "look at all my degrees" is not an argument. Saying, "look at all of this data I did Excel voodoo on" is also not an argument--especially when, in some disciplines, half of their most-cited research fails to reproduce. Even in stricter disciplines like medicine/biology/chemistry, there is still a huge problem with sponsored research that either cherry-picks supporting data, or attempts to drown-out the inconvenient findings of other researchers.

And when it comes to the "you peasants are too stupid to assess the validity of statements" angle, that judgement can gradually be broadened to include everyone who runs afoul of the party line.
Do you assume the adverse conditions that affect black women (BW) will disappear once they are admitted to the school? If not, then it is still more rational to choose a white man (WM), who performed better in the exams and is not affected by adverse conditions during his study.

Wow, really nice list, I wish I knew it before I started to work with asyncio.

> stay sane, you should never, ever, have an dangling awaitable anywhere. Always get a reference on all your awaitables. Decide where in the code you think their life should end.

This is the most difficult part for me, it's not trivial to know if a function you're calling is async or not without looking at the function source, specially when you're using external libraries. Also by default there's no logs about this kind of situation so it's a easy way to shoot yourself in the foot and waste 10 minutes debugging to find a dangling awaitable on a function call you didn't realize was async.
I remember the disaster of an intersection at the juncture of Queens Blvd and the northern terminus of Woodhaven Blvd at Queens Center Mall. There was an average of one accident per day at that intersection with the yearly total closer to 400. I took the bus to school and passed through that intersection on a daily basis. It was so bad that I would cross the streets using the subway station as a tunnel to avoid setting foot in that death trap. I have also witnessed a handful of accidents myself when passing through.

They redesigned the traffic pattern and made the street along the mall one way which solved the accident problem. Now the entirety of Queens Blvd is safer.

He's not punished "more", he's punished equitably.

No he's not; you simply can't punish people equitably by financial means. License penalty points, bans, sure, but you just can't equate fines against differing incomes when not all costs and opportunities are relative to income.

I don't agree the ultimate goal is to prevent reoffending either, it's surely to prevent offending, which it failed to do in this case amongst many others.
No such thing as free will though
Good point... stupid of me but I didn't think about the input side of things. Could be handled with a tar dump dd-ed straight to the USB device. (That's probably not happening, but it's good to think about these things.)

Or a virtual throw away machine just for mounting a USB filesystem, extracting the files, place them in some dump directory and then the whole virtual machine is wiped.

Heck, the virtual machine for copying should run BSD. :)
But the goal is presumably to try and persuade him not to speed again?
yes. The TL;DR is you don't spend $150B on a project you can't achieve with the hope that some of the side-products are useful. You spend $150B on a portfolio of projects that are likely to succeed, and monitor the physical properties of recent inventions, then if you have a plausible engineering plan and a good business model, you may proceed to blow $150B.

Eh, even most normal colleges are pretty honest in their ads compared to game design ones:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAFLfx3mvIg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRWvfMLl4ho

But seriously, the fact of the matter is:

1. Too many people go to college, so its original value (as a status indicator) is now virtually non existent

2. It's too expensive, so unless a good job is a near guaranteed outcome, people will laden with debt after going.

3. Most people and most jobs don't need college, and the push to send everyone to college has led to rampant degree inflation in terms of academic requirements.

The only solution to fix that would be to somehow get employers to stop caring about degrees, to make it less 'necessary' for many people, and to encourage less people to attend for the career 'boost'.
Few people have tried Anki (a free alternative to SuperMemo). Even fewer have tried its add-ons, which is where it truly shines! Vanilla Anki is mostly good for text flashcarding, with the phone app helpful for making use of those little bits of downtime throughout the day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-4xOe79epU&list=PL3MozITKTz...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzBoDe3PgAc&list=PL3MozITKTz...

Glutanimate has taken Anki to a whole new level. He created a painless UI for occluding any part of an image and making Anki flashcards out of it (Image Occlusion Enhanced). I used it to efficiently create and memorize thousands of anatomy flashcards. Ordered lists can be a real pain to memorize, but when not missing steps is crucial (as it is for medical OSCEs), Cloze Overlapper has worked very well.

Anki lets you share your decks with others, and medical students have collaboratively created very high quality study decks for studying for the various STEP exams.

To be honest, I was always a fairly mediocre student. Big-picture concepts and figuring things out on the fly, no prob. But I've always struggled to nail down bits of information long-term or learn sequential information, meaning calc and ochem required inordinate amounts of time. No longer the case. Spaced repetition plus visual/text/auditory learning is a recipe for success.

The possibilities here should not be underestimated. Folks on Hacker News have talked about the value of information commons, and this right here is the next best example behind Wikipedia I have ever encountered. While quality collaborative decks exist for things like medical school, learning languages, and more, none exist specifically for the program I am in (PA school). I am currently creating my own with the goal of it being the core of a quality collaborative deck. I am using Gephi to spatially organize concept maps for diagnoses complete with incidence and strength of associations, when such information is available. I then export these maps to Anki, use Visual Occlusion Enhanced to block out the information I want to recall, and voila: time-efficient first-time learning and long-term retention.
It is but it is extremely rare. These are systemic problems, caused by the construction of the system itself and not due to bad actors.

One problem is to have a successful suit against wrongful imprisonment, you have to prove intent. If somebody accidentally imprisoned you acting in good faith, the idea is that people make mistakes. There is automatic protection built into the system to allow prosecutors and LE to do their jobs. If there wasn't intent but the job they did was sloppy, it becomes a very grey area because then you have to define "sloppy". Everybody's sloppy to some degree or another, so the courts have set a high bar here (IANAL, just what I've read).

The second problem is that laws and punishments are set in isolation, as if they were dealing with an ideal citizen who just broke one law. If you've got a job, a car, and savings and then you forget to pay your car insurance, a hefty fine isn't a big deal. If, however, you're poor and have to drive without insurance just to have a job and eat, then the laws were not set up with you in mind. It's not malice by one person that causes this. It's apathy among dozens of people all with different slices of the problem. It's not clear who would be the person responsible or who would have the supervisory authority over all of these people to prevent it even if the system were in place to find restitution.
> There are plenty of pre-made decks for learning the basics of pretty much all the major languages.

I tried a few of them and the quality varies. The Arabic one I tried was very funny, it would show you something, like أ, and then ask: does it mean "Alif" the letter o does it mean: "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood? A woodchuck would chuck how much a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood".

Pretty useless.

Top New Releases on Netflix (August 2018)
I have a smallish D game on Steam and trust me, you can absolutely use the D runtime instead of -betterC. -betterC is a work in progress and not representative of D.

You will say that you don't want a GC but in reality the GC can be optimized as much as you wan't, and in the mean time you'll get precious _developement time_ to optimize further.

If you can afford the D runtime by all means take it ; for some products I'm doing without the D runtime, and the surprise was that it did't make things any faster _at all_ without the runtime (we did it for other reasons). The only real gain is memory consumption of GC vs manual and that is achievable without going through extreme coercitive measures like -betterC.

So, if a $100 fine for someone with only $100 to their name is adjusted to punish Bill Gates the same amount... how much do you fine him? Every cent he has to his name? Because if you leave him with anything the punishment isn't the same.

And what if he then commits a much more serious offence?

I still think the whole concept is so flawed it's a farce.
How is the EU's anti-trust claims ridiculous?

Apple, and Google (and probably more companies), made special deals with Ireland and Luxembourg to pay something like <5% VAT and <5% corporate tax, while everyone else were paying >20% and >20%. And those deals largely isn't available to EU companies because they can't use the favorable US tax laws to do it.

Despite Android being open source Google forced manufacturers to not sell any other versions of it if they also wanted to sell Googles. Which of course would be disastrous for any company.

Enforcement against that is only ridiculous if you don't like competition.

Infognition has found that if you keep the D GC heap under 100k the max pauses will be about 1 ms.
The means to reduce GC usage have only grown more diverse in recent years:

- various things built on placement new (`emplace`)

- GC profiling with -profile=gc, will display number of allocations and size

>If you print too much money you might end up with hyperinflation

That's about the rate of spending exceeding the economy's ability to produce, not the overall level of debt. It can even happen in surplus.

Every country that has suffered hyperinflation had it come about because of a critical reliance upon imports and/or a debt denominated in a foreign currency. Zimbabwe didn't face hyperinflation because the deficit was a bit too high. It faced hyperinflation because they took on foreign debts which they tried to pay back and destroyed their farms.

>Debt - Schools could do better at financial assistance and in helping students better manage their finances.

That's not what I meant, I mean there are students that spend all their "loans" on video games and entertainment instead of on living expenses and school, so no matter what the school does to help, the student will screw this up.

Can't blame the school for irresponsible students.

I have had a couple of homeless kids, yes friggin homeless kids, and one turned into rockstar. The only reason he could even attend was because the school made every student have a laptop (they provided, with full software and support)

There is money available to everyone, and there's only so much you can do to help people. Sometimes letting them fail instead of propping them up is what is actually good for them.

As like many other's here, I failed at the beginning, and learned a lot from that failure.
