There are some real grievances where China is not playing fair - forced partnerships, cheap loans for state-backed companies, etc. Lots of empty promises each year with no change to the rules and approaches. So while I think trump is insane and his policies are mostly harmful to both his country and the remainder of the world, pointing out the false pretences and pretend-market-economy of China is definitely not the worst thing he has done. It will certainly cause harm, but if it gets China to actually stick to its commitments everyone might be better off long term. That might be a long shot though, as Trump is crazy and the Chinese leader currently transforming himself into a dictator. For both of them the main way to stay in power is to pretend they are the only ones that will guarantee their country's standing and respect in the world (even as in realpolitik terms they do the opposite) - fueling nationalism and us vs them thinking.

I wouldn't say the US is strictly playing fair in the economic game either though, even before trump US economic power was a major weapon. The only ones that really seem committed to fait trade are the EU and maybe Canada, Japan, Korea.

It's funny to think that there have been randomly-generated books that readers considered to have value -- like the RAND million random digits book

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Million_Random_Digits_with_1...

I'm also thinking that a couple of the Oulipo works (perhaps some of those by François Le Lionnais?) had randomly generated contents -- within schemata or grammars created by the authors, of course.

But I guess this is the exception rather than the rule.
Their tax system is progressive too, so just the money above $65,000 is taxed at 42%.
The full profile of Jim Chanos (that the article is quoting) is available here: https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/b1b00ynrgtn05r...

The part that I thought was most interesting was that he structures his fund as 190% passive long and 90% active short. This way, his short fund (which has average annualized returns of -0.7%) can still allow him to make a lot of money.

I like the idea that a short fund can make money if they can beat the negative of the passive index - so if the S&P returns 10%, and I can have a short fund that returns -5%, I can use his strategy to outperform the S&P.
They're still going to be read, right? If I was going to read 20-30 essays I'd want them to be identical format.
Grid is good at identifying cells’ regular sizes to prevent wrapping or overflow, so it could be used instead of a table for tabular data with no sizing troubles. CSS fit-content and max-content to the rescue.

But as usual, bitter part is that grid is restricted to maximum of 1k rows in webkit-based and to 10k rows in firefox browsers and that restriction will be retained, as it seems from discussion. Columns are restricted too, but that is less important. After the limit browsers simply draw all remaining cells at the same coordinates and also mess with cell widths.

So, web still cannot show tabular data like desktop toolkits from '90s. Flexbox is also a 20+ years late clone of GtkBox with most terms renamed. It is amazing how web rotates around bells and whistles and ignores basic business needs for decades.
As another primarily back-end developer, of all the programming and scripting stuff CSS is truly the most brain damaged.

Most of what I've seen is making CSS way more complex than it needs to be - part of it is thanks to years of general browser incompatibilities causing people to put in "dont go there" warnings or for the sake of compatibility of X stuff. Second would be various tools and frameworks that may have been partially implemented in some other peoples' teaching of CSS.

I would say these two books cleared away a lot of the muck for me:

Stylin' with CSS by Charles Wyke-Smith - very concise.

I also found bits in Handcrafed CCS by Dan Cederholm to be good as it worked on either bad styling or no styling and how to clean up stuff or achieve a good effect CSS wise.

After that a lot of Googling, examining pages that worked, and reading how to do x, y or z as well as just trying stuff out myself till I get it right.

I always got good mileage out of just setting the margins to +.10 whatever the professor's requirement was and increasing line spacing by some tiny amount as well. Also double spacing after periods and occasionally using slightly larger punctuation.

Stupidly inflexible paper length requirements were one of the more annoying aspects of undergrad paper writing.
Predicting the Future with Bayes’s Theorem
One interesting aspect was the dosage they used:

"In the recent Imperial trial, the first with psilocybin in depression, 20 patients with treatment-resistant form of the disorder were given two doses of psilocybin (10 mg and 25 mg), with the second dose a week after the first."

I've always been under the impression any anti-depressant effect of psilocybin would be primarily based in psychology, but at that low of a dosage it seems unlikely which makes one wonder if there is also a significant biological basis.
In this scenario, you're way overestimating with $10k for retirement. Put that figure at $5k or maybe even $3k. Long-term, is that ideal? Not really -- but as you say, you need to budget for clothing, entertainment, emergencies, vet bills, etc.

Regardless, people and families do it all the time and do it on less.
This is a commonly espoused narrative.

I’m sure there were synergies in steel and auto production in US cities connected by rail between Pennsylvania and Michigan.

I’d say the key misunderstanding is that you’re conflating China with “markets” in “it took China roughly two decades to build this kind of ecosystem.” If you read it as, “Markets took two decades to build this kind of ecosystem,” it should be clear that the relationship between prices, time, volume, supply and demand aren’t determined by political prerogatives, but by market ones.

In other words, if your thesis is correct (that there’s something special about Shenzhen), the thing that’s special about it can be reproduced elsewhere. It will probably happen faster than two decades, because it’s proven to be a lucrative setup.
"figuring out what to worry about and what to not worry about"

My first effort was the same but without backtracking. I would make a random guess at each step and propogate constraints on the board. If it ever got stuck as unsolvable, I would just start it over again. Most solved very quickly, the highest number of tries I had was something like 2100.

You're not hiding anything from rich people. They have lawyers. Or if you want to take a more cynical tack, rich people are the driving force behind these laws in the first place; they were written to specification.
So, since many mediawiki systems use lua, does this mean that you can code in Lisp (or Fennel), transpile to Lua, and then run the code as a module in a media wiki system?

What about Common Lisp libraries? would they be transpiled too?

Is there even a site with Common Lisp libraries written in common lisp to be the source to be transpiled into Lua ?
The source really undermines itself with the starting sentence - both the crypto-bros and the dystopia assertion without any text elaboration.

That sounds kind of obvious from a capital standpoint alone. Disasters cause expensive damages so anyone in a position to repair stands to make money. Anyone who lacks the reserves and needs loans and financing would be needed. I don't think it in itself qualifies as unethical even - while uncomfortable to make money from the misfortune of others the alternatives are worse.

Now other associated unethical practices may be involved like price gouging, and probably happened with certainty given both the breadth of history and human greed. It goes without saying that causing the bad situation and then benefiting is an ethical failure even without any bad intent. Deliberately causing it being clear evil.

It can't last that long. Eventually the disputes will reach a WTO tribunal, at which point both sides will either need to acquiesce, or risk going it alone outside the WTO system, or perhaps destroy the WTO altogether.

U.S. conservatives love bilateral trade deals, but that's only because most trade occurs through the WTO system, making bilateral negotiations tractable. If either the U.S. or China lost the benefit of the WTO system, they would be indisputably worse off. So would everybody else. But in any event the end game will be resolved, for better or worse, long before 20 years is up. If there's still a dispute raging in 20 years then the next 20 years will be filled with economic and political strife much like those of the 20th century.
This is part of the post-intelligent-design attack on evolution. The idea that we couldn't have evolved, because evolution can't create information. It merely turns on and off information that is already there. The website linked here is an intelligent design site. But the idea in your comment would be used in various forms on a number of other creationist sites. It allows them to imply that these feature modules were created by God. And evolutionary change is merely flicking switches.

I didn't get a chance to see the comment before he edited it out, but in some countries (Canada I think?) "engineer" is actually a protected title, requiring licensure.

I don't know what his point was, but as a "software engineer", I sometimes wonder if I should be called a "developer" and let my PE friend keep the "engineer" title, just for clarity's sake.

7. Acceptable risk for the massive benefit to me

8. Efficiency is constantly improving and there are no emissions from an EV

9. How is that any different from how we shape the landscape for our own benefit in every other way?
Thanks for this reply. Since most people (myself included) are not familiar with the state of the art, this article sounds somewhat compelling, given it describes a plausible correction to the prolific idea of evolutionary trees. At least it's immediately clear they are overstating the impact of this work though, given the presentation style and inconsistency. Claiming the graph model and simultaneously dismissing LGT with no further explanation is nonsensical.

In order for there to be a history, there would first be a few obstacles to get over:
"What are you, stupid? I said it wasn't investment advice. Sue if you want, good luck finding a lawyer to take the case."

Okay, potential plaintiff found a lawyer who will take the case. It would still need to go before a judge who didn't immediately laugh it out of the court room.

After all that, then you might find a court case recorded somewhere. Let us know what you find.

> What if you bought houses in bad school area, created a great private/charter school in that area and sold your houses at much higher price?

It's not easy to create a good school. Certainly, simply throwing money at the problem doesn't work, as shown by an example of US public schools. The most certain way to achieve it is to heavily preselect the attending children, but that presupposes the existence of such quality base in the area around the school. The problem is that if it does, then their parents are usually already rich themselves, and so the house prices are already high.

It isn't about assuming that the worst will always happen, it is just NOT assuming that the worst WON'T happen.

How is that a bad thing to do? Pretending that the worst result couldn't happen is just delusional - it is like people who don't wear seat belts or helmets, or don't buy insurance. Just because something is unlikely doesn't mean you should ignore the risk, especially when the consequences of the unlikely even are so high.

Yes, the maximum penalty is probably pretty unlikely; on the other hand, if you GOT the maximum penalty, it might be a death sentence for your company. When the stakes are that high, you can't just ignore the risk.
Amazon has probably completely automated the process. Without knowing whether the book will sell 1 or 100,000 copies they can automatically switch between print-on-demand and printing runs. They can do this because they can ship from any warehouse to your door. They can send the initial short printing run to a single warehouse and then scale up if necessary.

A bookstore relies on having enough copies available at every store, so they would need to at a minimum ship and shelve some copies to all their large branches.

"Livability", in America, doesn't really exist as a concept. I get blank stares from most people. They all want a single-family 2000 sq. ft. home somewhere in a suburb that will doom them to be behind the wheel of a car for every little thing and see nothing abnormal about it.

In America, a city is a place where cars drive to get from business A to business B. People enter the equation only as a necessary side-effect. But fuck you if you're a pedestrian or don't have a car.

In Europe, cities exist for people. Streets are built with people in mind, businesses are placed with people in mind, infrastructure is built with people in mind.

I grew up in Europe, and the entire city was "mine" as a teenager - I could go anywhere, cheaply, quickly, and never needed a driver's license. I shopped for groceries, paid bills, hung out with friends, went to school - everything was within walking distance or a short bus ride away.

Here - I don't know how kids do it. To rely on parents to drive you to - where - shopping malls???? - to "hang out" or be doomed to watch tv/play video games all day - I'm so glad that was not my child-hood - I really think it's one reason I'm not on various anti-depressants, nor obese, nor anti-social.

I really wish someone would do a study that looked at the number of depressed/anti-social/about-to-go-on-a-shooting-spree people in a country whose only interaction with other human beings is to say "good how are you" at the clerk at the grocery aisle check-out lane or to curse at other people behind the wheel of their car while getting there.

I really believe (no evidence, just belief) that if cities in America didn't make you stressed out just for trying to get from place A to place B, or putting your life in danger by having to drive, we'd see a lot fewer problems - a lot fewer.

Precisely. And companies don't do this. Price differences are decided by negotiation. It happens in the labor markets.

I work in the Domain of Austin Texas, it's an outdoor mall, office park and residential area that is supposed to be like a downtown 2.0 in many ways. A place for humans to "live, shop and work" according to their mantra.

In reality, it's scary to walk to whole foods to get lunch at times. Cars NEVER yield to crosswalks or pedestrians. It's so bad they have flashing LED's on the stop signs in some areas.

The domain would be beautiful if parking garages were on the exterior and everyone had to walk in. Imagine being able to walk to shops, work and dining without worrying about getting plowed down by an F150 with a "thank god for our snipers" sticker on the back.

In fact, the best couple of days at this area are the art walk days but its been a while since I've seen those. For the artwalk days, they close the streets and it's like a magic little city of everyone breathing easier, enjoying some quiet serenity and kids walking around without parents needing 100% attention.

For the price they demand to live and lease space here, it would seem serenity and peacefulness would be the best thing they could do! (and there was plenty of land at one point for exterior garages... now its just a mad dash for people to find spots across the different garages which are all too small for the big trucks texans love)

The "cross platform" bit is completely irrelevant. The user friendly and strong security (there's no such thing as bullet proof security) points are certainly achievable with a little effort.
> So, since many mediawiki systems use lua, does this mean that you can code in Lisp (or Fennel), transpile to Lua, and then run the code as a module in a media wiki system?

Yes, easily.

With a little bit more work you could load the Fennel compiler up server-side so it could do the compilation for you and support Fennel "natively". I have done a similar process with TIC-80 despite knowing very little C: https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/pull/597

> What about Common Lisp libraries? would they be transpiled too?

No, Common Lisp is a completely different language with little in common with Fennel.

That doesn't make much sense at all. Ruining goodwill and relationships (and of course trade) with YOUR MOST IMPORTANT ALLIES is certainly not just proxy economic warfare. The EU economy as a whole is bigger than either China or the US.

Don't try to find a logic when there clearly is none. Trade war with EU and Canada might be the most unhelpful thing Trump has done.
