Sure, though part of my point was that if you loan money to build a house the money flows from your pocket into the pocket of the timber salesman and electrician. But if the government loans money via bonds and then builds a bridge, that money mostly stays inside the country, where it is both taxable and will contribute to the GDP.

A shame that having plain paragraphs and pictures does not work (Android dropped support since N).

Commenting on the design, as a slow reader and non-native English speaker I felt annoyed at having to read against the clock ticking away for each slide (or alternatively, having to click 'pause' again for each slide individually). I hope whatever package this page is based on changes their default settings in future releases.
A japanese guy went in France for studies. After his studies, he said he would be considered as a foreigner his whole life if he went back to work in japan.
So how do you explain the fact that I used many PDAs before 2009 (I had 4 between 2004 and 2009) that had mini USBs and there mostly wasn't a PDA on the market that didn't have mini USB around 2007?

They could always just print the money to pay back the debt, and if that leads to too much inflation then remove money from the pool some other way (e.g. raise the reserve percentage that banks have to keep).

Didn't France use to have a system where they just printed all money that government spent, and all money they received from taxation ceased to exist?

Iteration, I'd imagine.

1. Generate a pile of random rectangles. This is an additive operation (this is only important for #4, below).

2. Check to see if any overlap. If they do, remove one.

3. Repeat 2 until no more overlap.

4. Check to see if there are too few rooms in the map. If there are, go back to 1.

5. Add corridors (this is a whole 'nother topic).

Agree with this. Android is unfortunately a bit of a disaster in terms of privacy and security. The easiest security advice you can give to say friends and family would be to just buy an iPhone. As for asking them to buy a Mac - I can list a few dozen reasons why that is also a good idea.

> The lifetime in the air of CO2, the most significant man-made greenhouse gas, is probably the most difficult to determine, because there are several processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Between 65% and 80% of CO2 released into the air dissolves into the ocean over a period of 20–200 years. The rest is removed by slower processes that take up to several hundreds of thousands of years, including chemical weathering and rock formation. This means that once in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide can continue to affect climate for thousands of years.

> Methane, by contrast, is mostly removed from the atmosphere by chemical reaction, persisting for about 12 years. Thus although methane is a potent greenhouse gas, its effect is relatively short-lived.

Makes the charger more versatile and reusable instead of having a cable 'built-in' to the charger that cannot be swapped out. Also if the cable frays, you just get a new cable, not a whole new charger.

Because incarceration is penitentiary, which means criminals are made to pay for their crimes - not to be rehabilitated.

It's a pretty stupid form of payment, I should say. They lose time and opportunity and so on, so they definitely paid something. The state paid a fortune for their incarceration, so the state is also out of pocket. The criminals are paying for their crimes, but they're not paying society. They're not paying the victim. Society actually pays as well! This is so ridiculous. The criminal AND the state are paying for the crimes.

> The scarcity of resources forces social interaction and gives value to life, relationships and property.

Are you saying that the 'cognitive elite' will live unsatisfied, lonely existences, and that's the price they have to pay for material success?

It seems like you're equating material scarcity with a 'mythic' view of human struggle. I.e: we need to challenge ourselves to grow and become better people.

I'm not denying that struggle is 'good' for bettering yourself, but I think there are ways to provide this kind of challenge that doesn't involve encouraging or maintaining material scarcity for vast swaths of the human population.

Not true. Do you want me to share a photo of some 2010-2015 phone chargers and their plugs? Because just recently I've found some of those lying around, and let me tell you: 5 phones, 5 different plugs.

That really is a matter of personal politics and opinion.
I am getting to a point of internalizing the planet's health that I have been keeping my eyes open for therapists that specialize on this topic. It's difficult to not ruminate on what increasingly sounds like dystopian autumn years and winter years that aren't worth living to. It's extremely distressing to read headlines day after day, and the accelerating tone is building. Has anyone had any luck finding a way to put perspective on it, or figure out a lie that helps keep you going? I know there's still a lot to figure out. But each time we figure out more, it seems it's actually worse.
ah ok, wow you're right that does look like a startup landing page. Instantly makes me lose trust in it tbh

As great as that is, though, they're all advantages that won't become relevant until you've really learned emacs, and won't become really advantageous unless you're comfortable enough with emacs that you're willing to commit to it.

In other words, its not stuff that's going to drive adoption. The ggp has a point about emacs having a higher barrier to entry for complete beginners.
Very cool, I especially like that it’s faithful to the DMG. I saw the mention of Donjon, I’ve used the Donjon tools for years and have always loved using them but felt the lack of persistence and interconnectedness was missing.

It’s why I’ve been working on something similar over the past few years and dungeon generating is definitely on the roadmap. It’s called OpenDnD and it’s attempting to be a complete set of open source DM and player tools. The first 5 tools are fairly useable but very much still beta. For those interested, the code’s up on GitHub: https://github.com/opendnd/opendnd.
No, they have different units. GDP is measured in currency/time (the denominator is usually a year) whereas market cap is measured in currency.

Think about how much sense it makes to say "200 miles? That's about as far as the top speed of a Nascar car!" There's kind of a valid comparison happening, but it requires the reader to correctly guess the time period you're talking about for the speed.

Scientific method (basically me just paraphrasing Imre Lakatos):

1) Explore and describe aspects of the world in detail, figure out what situations naturally arise or that can be devised that produce consistent, stable phenomenon.

2) Abduce (guess) an explanation for these consistent, stable phenomenon.

3) Explore the logical consequences of assuming your guess is correct. Figure out a few otherwise surprising (ie, inconsistent with other explanations people may have) predictions that can be deduced from it.

4) Collect data and compare it to the predictions generated in #3

5) Discard the guess or modify it to make it more consistent with the data produced in #4

6a) If the guess is modified, Go to 3.

6b) If the guess is discarded, Go to 2.

A lot of cancer research seems to be failing at step 1, ie they can't even get into the "testing otherwise surprising predictions" loop since there is no consistent, stable phenomenon to trust.

Yes, the security aspect is ridiculous (and more than likely completely unnecessary) but also bear in mind that airports are busier than ever.

Apple's goal is to have as many people as possible on the latest version of the OS. It makes support, etc. easier and therefore less expensive. In order to do that, people need to be enticed to update regularly. This comes in the form of updates to Maps, Safari, Emoji, etc.
I used to use a pi hole since YouTube on a Samsung smart TV is horrible both YoutTube and Samsung put ads in the same video (YouTube at the start and Samsung ...whenever). But Samsung inject ads frequently and aggressively. Even short ten minute videos are interrupted at least twice by ads sometimes a few seconds before a video ends, I mean really?!?

It worked great for a long time but then but changed my setup.

Then I wanted to try Pi-Hole again going through the setup again but the results were very different. For example my Samsung smart TV absolutely refused to connect. It is the same TV, same Pi device, same everything but no network.

> It wouldn't work in US, or South Africa or El Salvador because of what level of violence is deemed acceptable in those countries.

The US prison system and the harsh police also contribute to violence, people are more violent because you are violent with them, it works as a feedback loop.
Why not? It's been through the same security as everything else, including all the air freight that's also on board that nobody seems to think about. Usually they'll offload it as a convenience for the passenger but not always if time doesn't allow.
I'm fine with this as long as both sides of the spectrum (left and right) have to abide by the same rules. Mostly conservatives/republicans are being deemed 'fake news' and 'racist' right now and this isn't the reality.

I've seen plenty of outright lies from the left and racist accounts on sites like twitter against white people and people that are Jewish and the accounts still stand.

I feel like this is just a proposal to silence one political party...which sounds a lot like fascism.

This is not quite true. What's happened recently is a combination of more effective enforcement on the regulatory side, combined with a ruthless pursuit of efficiency on the industry side. This combination of factors has increased the number of trucking jobs beyond what was historically necessary. (That's right. Ironically, all of the automation being added in the trucking industry has actually increased the number of drivers necessary substantially.)

Think what would happen if tomorrow the government said from now on every doctor can see no more than 2 patients per day. (Oh, and by the way, we're installing cameras in every hospital, urgent care, clinic, and private practice office to verify that no one exceeds that limit.) Now imagine that at the same time hospitals said they would no longer work with off site providers of any sort because it increases efficiency to have all of their physicians on site full time. Well, all of a sudden you would need about 6 to 8 times the number of doctors you have today. (At a minimum.)

This is somewhat of a simplification, and it doesn't get across the full depth and implications of the changes, but it gives you a good idea of what's happened to the trucking industry over the past few years.

Morning Paper – BLeak: automatically debugging memory leaks in web applications
I can corroborate, but the central issue once again is pay/working conditions. The pricing assumes that long-haul truckers don't get paid much and it assumes that they will drive up against the legal limits and it assumes that they will more or less live in their truck and never see their home.

Fixing the pricing to make the working conditions reasonable will simply make long-haul truck uncompetitive with freight railroads. And that is really the solution. If you want to send cargo across the country, put it on a train.

> In 1999 I had bags in the hold but had to respond to a page, by the time I had resolved the incident I had missed the flight. I was super-stressed but the check-in girl just laughed and said, get the next one, it’s fine. And it was. Can you imagine that now?

It actually literally happened to me in November 2001, even for an international flight: I missed my flight due to a 3-hour line at MDW, but my luggage had already boarded. I was assured by everyone concerned that it would be offloaded, but it flew ahead, and was (somewhat miraculously) still waiting for me at the luggage claim when I got there over 12 hours later.
