To be fair the local people seem pretty close-minded about the origins of Gunung Padang. The local scientific community insists most of it is natural, and that because they found later evidence of less advanced technology, it is then impossible there was a more advanced culture previously there. However, this has been known to happen over and over again, with the most known example being the Mayans. At the same time, for a body of scientists, they seem pretty uninterested in finding the truth.

> it's hard to get lisp wrong

That's not actually true, Lisp offers endless possibilities to work yourself into a hole. The average 1960s program was just written by someone a bit more knowledgeable and caring, who took a lot more time to get things right, than the vast majority of modern programming work.

> he interesting thing about Gandhi, though, was that his views did evolve and change. What he saw and experienced in South Africa changed his views on racial supremacy, particularly in Africa. By 1906, he wrote about the Bambatha Rebellion, saying:

>>"The Zulu 'rebellion' was full of new experiences and gave me much food for thought. The Boer War had not brought home to me the horrors of war with anything like the vividness that the 'rebellion' did. This was no war but a man-hunt. To hear every morning reports of the soldiers' rifles exploding like crackers in innocent Hamlets, and to live in the midst of them was a trial. But I swallowed the bitter draught, especially as the work of my Corps consisted only in nursing the wounded Zulus. I could see that but for us the Zulus would have been uncared for. This work, therefore, eased my conscience.""

>Working in and among Africans humanised them for him, and made it so that his ideas of them changed. Much like any other human being, Gandhi grew and learned from his experiences. Would it have been great from the outset if he'd known that Africans were equal people? Sure, but in the early 20th century, I'm not going to fault him for being racist and then changing.

Square root of two represented exactly in Haskell (turing equivalent):

newtype Real = Real { isGreaterThan :: Rational -> Bool }

sqrt2 :: Real
sqrt2 = Real (\r -> r * r < 2)

Doing arithmetic on these numbers is a more complicated matter. But this representation is exact.

It could be all at the same. You could have a column or a List for Ideas. You could create a calendar with day's that could be used for a special posting like "world Nutella day" (okay that might be not your topic but I hope you get what I was trying to explain. Or use the calendar to keep the focus of constant postings.
On the other hand, a content plan can offer you a great timetable for your actual writing. Add tasks for "research", "writing" or "add pictures" until the article is published.
You can also add a template for your article and its structure. So it's everything to keep your head in the game and focus on what's important.
It's inevitable given the political structure. Since votes are distributed by area and population rather than by wealth, wealthier political divisions will necessarily bribe poorer ones into political compromises that are closer to the wealthier divisions' preferences than they would have been without bribery. The only way to prevent that would be for the overall polity to have much lower taxes and thus much less money to divert to interdivisional bribery. (In many polities, this would be very much against the preferences of the wealthier divisions, so this "solution" is never seriously contemplated.)

Of course, TFA describes a different way to come to substantially the same result. Tokyo still makes the important decisions.

Do you think some kind of bidding or voting on the maximum donation amounts involved would make sense?

Ie, cities each vote on what they think a "proper" maximum reward would be, then set it at the average.

Relatedly, I'm not sure why a supermajority of cities agreeing to limit gifts would be generally in their best interests:

1. Lower status ("less popular") cities gain more donations via rewards

2. I would guess status/popularity probably follows a power curve

3. Therefore the long tail cities are able to flatten the distribution curve by bidding their way up

4. If they went back to a level playing field, they would drop back down the curve, likely losing the (smaller but nonzero) overall financial boost gained after bidding

Basically: if I am a small city with few "natural" benefactors, I can bid my way up the curve (admittedly depending on the elasticity of "demand") such that I gain more from more donations than I lose in larger rewards.

...unless the market today just drives everyone to offer the maximum reward?

Super interesting though, thank you for sharing this!

I think these questions are good to choose from when you have an obviously talented candidate and you are looking for an advanced question that probes the depth of someone’s knowledge. Most interviews I’ve conducted would never get that far. When I interviewed C++ programmers, people would struggle through things like when do destructors get called and how to iterate through every other array element. R-value references and move semantics? LOL. Let’s start with the difference between a set and a list and see if we get through that!

99% of the candidate flow I’ve seen would never have gotten any of these questions right.
"Though most of the memorials were built from the 1960s through the 1980s, the most abstract designs harken back to the Russian Revolution of 1917, when Vladimir Lenin and his Bolsheviks promised to empower workers and take the reins from the Tsarist bourgeois." - the propaganda language of the article is illiterate as there were two revolutions in Russian Empire in 1917, Tsarist regime was overthrown by February Revolution and bolsheviks overthrew bourgeois regime in October revolution, thus talking about "Tsarist bourgeois" vs bolsheviks is simply not literate.

I don't think that such results qualify as unintended consequences. I somehow ended up attending a meeting at Treasury on some existing tax credit program. Other than me, everyone attending seemed to be some sort of insider and nearly everyone seemed to know each other.

And this would be ... a spectacularly good outcome.

In order to do this, the company would have to develop a workable, repeatable model of how to economically improve an "opportunity zone". There's some evidence that this is a very hard problem, notably that social service agencies have been trying to do it for more than 100 years. But sure, if a company can find a solution, that would be great.

The danger is that the company would find a solution that somehow followed the letter of the law but not the spirit, like finding an investment with nominally high returns that doesn't actually improve the lives of the people living in the opportunity zones. That's definitely a danger, and possibly a likely outcome. But another possibility is that there are fairly straightforward ways to improve the lives of people in these zones that haven't happened because the people in them don't have the capital to do it. If that's the case, then incentivizing outsiders to put in that capital should be a good thing. I don't know what will happen, but it seems like it's worth a try.

It would be nice if the program was well managed, because good management could probably reduce and mitigate the negative gaming-the-system outcomes and promote the good ones. But I don't have a lot of confidence in Congress to do a good job with updates, so I hope the original bill was written well enough.

Support machines older than 6 years. Got a ThinkPad from 2008 that's still kicking, rocking the latest Fedora release.
Back in college around 1996 or so, the only Unix workstations we had were shared DEC Alpha machines. Nobody in our university knew anything about Unix. It was basically a Win95 shop. The only way to edit a file on DEC Alpha was using vi or that's what we were told. I still remember struggling for the entire exam. I think you passed if you were just able to type out the program lol.
3 years later, once I graduated and started working all of the unix guys were using vi. I had not even heard of emacs. So naturally I started using vi. 2002 some of my friends started using emacs but I was too embedded in vi to learn anything new so just didn't bother.

I consider it perverse because it incurs overhead in making the payments (eg if you send a town $100, get back a gift card for $100, and cash it for $97, that's $3 burned for nothing whatsoever than if they could've just transferred $100 into your bank account or not taxed it in the first place), deadweight loss in gifts (you don't value those hometown meibutsu at their market value to other people), overhead from the incentivized marketing competition (ad campaigns aren't free), and of course, the existence of a competition at all means that the hometown which incurred the expenses of rearing/educating you in the first place probably isn't going to get your tax revenue because they don't offer anime pineapple rewards or whatever is hip at the moment. None of that was intended nor is it useful. Interesting & amusing, but not useful.

(And anyway, I had to title it something. 'Japan's Hometown Tax' makes it sound unutterably boring & technical, when the second-order effects are what's interesting.)
In fact, I did. But I think it is wrong to judge OOP based on crude implementations. That is the reason why I added the Trabant example:

> The Trabant was loud, slow, poorly designed, badly built, inhospitable to drive, uncomfortable, confusing and inconvenient. (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant)

Java and C++ are both great tools for specific jobs, but from an OOP perspective, they are badly designed. So if you want to discuss OOP as a design choice, it would be unreasonable to discuss it based on those poor implementations. Smalltalk, on the other hand, has its own set of problems, but a poor OOP implementation is not part of it.
Why don't you just tell the poster straight-out that they have wasted their time; if only they'd talked with you first they could have spent that precious time working for real change. For shame indeed.
And now you have to rely on a framework, where there's more opportunity for leaky abstractions, more surface area where bugs can show up.

I'm not sure what you mean by complex data - data is data, and using a serial format like edn allows you to encode a lot of different stuff as data - even functions. I think you're stuck in the oo mode where you're passing around objects and classes instead of just data. Data is so much easier to deal with!

That postcard with an aerial shot of housing blocks in Novi Beograd must represent a regional trend. In Romania after the turn of the millennium, I found some old postcards from the 1980s in a bookshop that were still, though covered in dust, for sale. Several of them were the same: aerial shots of new residential neighbourhoods with buildings of not particularly impressive architecture. I don’t know if Communist officials actually thought that Western tourists would be interested in these kind of shots, or if postcards were just exploited as one more disingenuous propaganda medium for boasting about development statistics. Probably a mix of both.
Racket should be becoming more performant once the Chez integration is done.
Spain is not a particularly great example; I'd categorize it very much as an evolution of the preceding feudal traditions. The country was born out of a marriage alliance between Castile and Aragon, and familial ties continued to govern a significant chunk of Spain's foreign policy throughout the early modern era, whether that is marriages into Portugal, into the Habsburg Holy Roman Empire, or the French Bourbons, or the whole confusing mess of Italian adventures with Naples et al. Spanish national identity still carries a lot of these fractures from the medieval regions that were never melded completely together - Basque and Catalonian autonomy movements are the prime example.

>Coding is important, but specifying is usually much more so

Lacking code, however, usually leads to important oversights in the specifications. Internet routers had to have a "compatible with Cisco" option because Cisco engineers read a specification, wrote an implementation, had no reference code to test against, and ended up with a widely deployed broken protocol incompatible with the correct version.

Code is critical for specifications because it doesn't suffer the flaws of human interpretation and assumptions. If it does disagree with human interpretations of the specification then it quickly becomes obvious and either the code or specification can be fixed in a revision.

> No, this is a circular definition. We define an "algorithm" as something that can be performed by a Turing machine. So the Church-Turing thesis is a trivial tautology. (Though of course a useless one.)

No, that's a terrible definition, and it isn't what computer scientists typically use, though it might be what one says if they're not careful. If someone says that "algorithm" means "what a Turing machine can compute", it's because they believe the Church-Turing thesis, which says that they're the same. If they're the same, then you can talk about them interchangeably, and "Turing machine computations" have a cleaner definition than "pen and paper algorithms", so it's convenient to talk about "Turing machine computations" as if that's the ground truth.

But if the Church-Turing thesis is false, then they're not the same, and you should be very careful not to mix them up. And we need a word for "the sorts of things you can compute by hand by a set of well-defined steps", and that's what "algorithm" has always meant.

EDIT: Note that I'm making a prediction. If a person told you that "algorithm" means "what a Turing machine can compute", ask them what "algorithm" means if the Church-Turing thesis is false. My prediction is that they'll use a different defintion, based on what you can effectively compute by hand, like the "Effective Method" wikipedia article that my sibling posted.

Won't this degenerate to a pure bidding war, with people sending their money to the town that gives them the largest fraction of cash equivalent returns, transforming into only a tax reduction ? like, cities will bid to something like ninety-something% cash equivalent, to the very limit of their margin because it's winner takes all.
> If it actually worked how you describe, it wouldn't happen. As the market value approaches the expected benefit, there becomes no point.

If you pay $6.9M for $7M in lower taxes, you make $100,000 for free and the little guy recovers $6.9M. Then one of the other million companies with net profit realizes they can net $90,000 by offering $6.91M. This is not what a buyer's market looks like.

Obviously no one is going to offer exactly $7M because they have to cover the transaction costs etc., but that's not even profit -- if they offer $6.95M because they have $40,000 in transaction costs, they're only making $10,000, but they still do it because they're still making $10,000. Until someone else is willing to make $5000.

It's a seller's market because there are more companies with net profits than net losses.

> Also worth considering, if these loss deductions always find their way to the guy with the highest marginal tax rate- is that really working as intended?

This one of the many reasons why graduated tax rates are inefficient as compared with something like flat rate + UBI (which can be equally progressive but doesn't have this problem), because it works that way for everything. The same thing applies to losses incurred directly by the big guy. Or if you create a deduction for green cars, someone paying a 35% marginal rate gets more from buying the same car than someone paying 15%.

But that doesn't apply to corporations anyway. Corporate tax rates largely aren't based on income. If they were, splitting an operation into multiple corporate entities would lower the tax rate and then everybody would do that.
Are they trying to solve hard problems? Do they have talented engineers? (Though I guess you only find out after working there for some time)
