but how do those work. do you have to keep buying them every 6 months, or can you just leave it there while it keeps providing interest at that rate? and will those rates continue to go up?

>It is generally bad practice to write laws with specific technologies listed

Exactly right. This is why fax machines still exist today. There are some laws that _require_ certain documents be faxed (not emailed) to healthcare providers. If the law was worded more abstractly, they could be using email or a smartphone app now. So to me this new language makes sense, but it can open up risk to being abused.

If the law is abused, the company should have it's day in court, and the courts can decide what to do.

> Blue-collar minorities are less capable of knowing where/when to get a license than blue-collar whites?

But your comment wasn't suggesting this. You were suggesting that the law was explicitly discriminatory to require minorities alone to need ID and whites could vote without ID.
Need an abortion? book a flight, we require a trans-vaginal ultrasound and a waiting period.

There's a coalition in my state that believes all life is sacred and abortion should be illegal even in cases of incest and rape. God's will and so forth...
Pokemon is inappropriate for children imho. The messages it sends, the capturing and fighting of animals, are not good. It is a modern incarnation of past hobbies (fighting insects) that today are totally unacceptable.

It's not practical for individual users to litigate, but hopefully someone will bring a civil class action suit.
Too many humans is ethically unsolvable. There is that solution from the book Inferno where they (spoiler alert) release a chemical warhead of somekind that causes the majority of the world to become infertile. But try voluntarily convincing people they aren't allowed to have children. At least it is better than a war that kills off part of the population.

We also use other limited resources in unsustainable ways even if it won't deplete in the next 50 years it is obviously inevitable. I hear about usable sand for construction being depleted at a rate faster than it is replenished.
> I would switch ISPs but I have no other options where I live. Hopefully making this issue more public will help CenturyLink make better decisions,

Seriously? I won't trust such ISP to send/receive even one bit of information if I were him. Even if they changed their mind because of this, Don't trust them until all the boards resigned, all the employees implemented this be fired, lost the massive lawsuit from all the customers, and then, after acquired by other sane ISP.
Regarding France, it seems that we have lost the actual knowledge on how to build nuclear power plants. Which should have been expected given that we stopped building those for quite a while, so of course the know-how is gone.

Flamanville, the first EPR in France, was schedule to start running in 2012 for a construction cost of 3.3 billion EUR. It is now expected to start producing electricity in 2020 for a construction cost of 10.9 billion EUR. Emphasis on expected...
That might be nice, but... how, exactly?

By writing off the debts? That's not so nice for those who are owed. A bunch of those are pension funds, for example. If peoples' pensions get wiped out by by all debts being forgiven, they won't be so happy.

By the government giving money to people? But where does the government get the money? By taking on debt? Then the government's even more deeply in debt, which means that we the people still are in debt, too.

Or does the government just create more money? This might be the least-bad way of doing it, but it would still be hugely inflationary.
with JS, I don't have to change the JS entry point, just set a different environment variable... I can also compose nested rules into one configuration set. I can also dynamically inject into that configuration at runtime via application/user control settings.

They have in practice been exporting huge sums of money overseas by buying companies all over the world.
> We've explored so little of the design space.

The design space that we are willing to explore is limited by the fundamental evolutionary drive of social media platforms to hold your attention as long as possible by feeding you little hits of dopamine for minimal effort. Social media platforms thrive on size and activity and neither can be established by raising the bar, only by lowering it to new depths.
I have no idea if nuclear fusion is feasible in the near future, or what kind of timeline is required, but I don't see any downside to spending money on projects like this. Pure scientific pursuits seem to be fund able at relatively low prices, with massive upsides and no obvious downsides, other than the opportunity cost of the money being spent.

It was effectively removed.

1. Moving from top of the doc to very bottom of multi page doc, after things like Trade Controls.

2. Change of first party imperative to third party - you remember, not we
My understanding is that both of you can be right.

The "Chinese government" is not a singular, monolithic entity in the same way the "US Government" is actually a bunch of departments, branches and jurisdiction levels each with competing and sometimes differing interests and goals. (but yes, it is more unified in China in the sticking to party line).

The Chinese federal government has been wanting to make this re-balancing for a long time (a shift away from exports towards domestic consumption, and shifts from inefficient state owned enterprises to companies that can operate more efficiently and are "market oriented").

Where you are also correct is that many of the inflated GDP numbers and "inefficient" investments / capital towards things like ghost cities are mostly driven by state governments, in their attempt to meet the "goals" as stated by the federal government.
No sane people would believe indefinite high growth is maintainable, and slowdown is of course welcome if that helps avoid bigger problems down the road.
We've got a neti-pot-like thing that comes with a built-in filter. I don't worry about it past that.
The value of the yuan to what, the US dollar? It's pegged and maintained there using foreign currency reserves. It's occasionally adjusted so I guess it could be considered a "dirty float" if you want to stretch that definition a bit.

>runaway global warming will need a drastic solution

I look forward to our subterranean future. I think the combination of vehicle automation and tunneling technology will allow us to build massive underground systems. If things get too rough on land, we can go below the surface.
I would say it entirely depends on what you want to do. Project manager, people manager, technical lead, and individual contributor are all separate career paths -- but they can intertwine if you want them to. When I work with people on my team I take this approach:

1. Define what you want the end of your career to look like.

2. Next think about where you want to be in 1 year, 2 years and 5 years.

3. Identify skills which you can learn to help you achieve your goals for each time horizon.

4. Identify opportunities to develop those skills.

It's important to remember that your career and desire shift and that is OK. You should embrace that change.
The sun's fusion is powered by the gravitational attraction of ~10e30 Kg of matter. That is not even remotely an option on Earth, so there is no evidence of feasibility about the energy produced by the sun, aside from the fact that it demonstrates that fusion as a concept makes sense.
The purpose of licensing here isn't to ensure quality of work (how good or bad your haircut/highlights are). It's there to make sure disease isn't transmitted, and physical harm isn't inflicted.

The hours requirement could be scaled down, and the process more streamlined certainly, but the point of going to cosmetology school isn't really to learn how to style hair, although that happens, it's to pass state boards. Then you can assistant in a salon and learn how to do something economically useful.
Someone else responded to my question saying the same thing. I tried using distilled water at room temperature (with the salt) and it REALLY hurt my nose. Feels great when the water is luke-warm. Maybe I am the only one.

The pie grew and india was intentionally prevented from partaking in the pie by the british. Ignoring the mass famines and the humanitarian destruction caused by the british empire in india, the greatest damage inflicted on india was its lack of industrialization. Britain simply prevented india from industrializing until they were kicked out in 1947.

Britain and the US really industrialized in the mid 1800s ( although britain loves to pretend it did in the 1700s ). Parts of europe followed soon after. Japan industrialized in the late 1800s. India ( and china ) industrialized after ww2 - india much more slowly than china due to its democratic and bureaucratic baggage. For more than 100 years, india was prevented from industrializing by britain. You can't ignore that significant opportunity cost.

Also, you are wrong when you say colonial "adventure" had nothing to do with industrialization. Excess capital and excess resources are the prerequisites for national industrialization. British industrialization was funded by opium money from china and resources from india. The need for resources is why japan and germany sought to create empires for themselves. It was a necessity to industrialize.

Having said that, I don't think you can honestly calculate the costs of colonization because there are so many factors involved. Would india have been able to follow meiji japan's or even mao's china's example and industrialize? We can say that india lost a lot due to british imperialism, but I doubt we'll ever know exactly how much. At best, it's just a guess.

No, it's not like saying that. It's saying that public shaming might eventually become less damaging. If you want an analogy that expressed the point of the commenter, one was provided:

This, also, is not like being arrested.
Okay, so you want a global setting for buttons...

Oh crap, `.foo button` is broken.

And yet the article mentions distilled OR saline, which definitely raises the question.

If I wake up feeling like crap, it is far easier to use a salt packet than to go to the store for distilled water. The article implies that is fine (but the article may be misleading)

Exactly. Most people have significantly more than $86k debt in the form of a mortgage. I owe a lot more than $86k on the mortgage for my home.

I have more assets than debt and I could pay off my mortgage but it's simply not the best way for me to spend my capital.

Additionally, I suspect this article is using a median value for "average income" but a mean value for "average debt." This paints a misleading picture.
I'm going to have to look into that. Thanks for the suggestion!

In the case of Neil-Med, the documentation I have retained says to use previously boiled or properly filtered water (they provide some examples) when mixing. And they say not to use tap water. But they don't inform the user of the potential hazard of using otherwise safe-to-consume tap water.

Worse, the bottle (mine is a squeeze bottle) doesn't have any reminder not to use tap water, at all. It would seem this would be worth a large placard on the back of the bottle. The likelihood is low but the danger high; this is the worst kind of risk because it doesn't happen often enough to serve as a reminder.
I don't think there's a concerted effort to escalate. I think it's more of an emergence phenomenon. But yes, the outcome you describe is likely inevitable if something doesn't change soon.
Checking/Savings rates are highly correlated to Treasury yields, so if Treasury yields go down, so will yields on checking and savings accounts.

To answer your first question--if you go with Fidelity, they offer an "auto roll" feature which can re-purchase new T-Bills (or any Treasury/CD) at auction, automatically, when existing issues mature. It's completely hands-off: https://www.fidelity.com/fixed-income-bonds/fixed-income-too...

When you swim in lakes & rivers, you typically don't get water way up your sinuses. Maybe a bit in the nose but not far back. So the odds are lower. Not impossible as there have been case of triathletes dying from the same thing after a lake race, but definitely lower odds.

As for the ocean, its salinity prevents that kind of amœba from even being present.
This seems to happen with other ISPs and telcos as well. Most notably, Verizon.

My theory is that the sales person gets commission on the sale so they just tell you what you want to hear on the phone and enroll you in whatever makes them the most money. I also think that the sales person that knocks it down or fixes it gets penalized since they often don't fix the issue even when they said they did.

With Verizon we had to start holding on the phone with the reps while refreshing the website to make sure the correct plan changes were actually implemented. Then we took screenshots for proof. That cleared up the persistent mistakes.
Some of the French issue stems from wide-spread anti-nuclear sentiment. Fukushima galvanized a the anti-nuclear movement. Last month, Macron announced the closure of Fessenheim plant after protests and petitions passed over fears of seismic activity and potential flooding.

Well, a lock does a great job at not letting people into my apartment. Why not put the camera inside the door?

It is trivial to find videos of people committing crimes, but that does not imply anything about its likelihood. Meanwhile the state has an excellent record of abuse of power for ends that are unrelated to the reasons given for the power. See: the use of “terrorism” to justify militarizing domestic law enforcement, or parallel reconstruction.

The issue is that this idea that centralization of information will somehow avoid the pattern of abuse of centralized power in the hands of people with perverse incentives.

This video stream should be considered private property IMHO which requires a warrant like anything else.
As to the last part... lets say there's an application default for $someVariable, a per-client optional override, an application configurable (runtime database) override, and a user-level override.

Are you suggesting that I setup a complicated system to do SCSS generation across the source of the entire application at each one of those layers? (including runtime, on-demand). Sending JSON, and merging JSON is FAR easier.
Back before the Unix-ization of macOS, there was a large focus on programs providing accessibility/automation APIs. The GUI parts of macOS were actually far more scriptable back in the OS7-9 days (and early OSX days) than they are today. It used to be that any effect you wanted to trigger in the OS, you could do by sending an https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_event through the OSA scripting component to the relevant system service.

Nowadays on macOS, with the availability of the CLI, Apple engineers have decided to expose those same effects through CLI utilities that call directly into private system APIs (which are themselves usually client libraries for private Mach client-server ABIs.) If there's a switch exposed in the GUI but not the CLI, it's unlikely there's an event to reach it any more.

(Though, in macOS or Windows or Linux, it's always a possibility to write a script that has GUI effects directly in terms of "click the first button on the right"-style accessibility directions. But that's extremely brittle to system version updates, and precisely the thing that exposing an automation API is meant to avoid.)

Interesting comparisons, but I would have to say those places still have a sense of identity, even if it's one cooked up 30 seconds ago with a 10minuteemail address.

Pick one
If they meant to send it to someone else but put your address on it, that's an accident. Which is to say, if the package has your address on it but someone else's name, you can't keep it (in fact, if it's delivered by the USPS then I believe even just opening it is a crime as it's someone else's mail).

If they intended for you to receive it but believed you were expecting it (and understood that you'd have to pay for it), then I expect that would also qualify.

In order to count as "unordered merchandise" it seems reasonable that the sender must be aware that it was unordered.

Absolutely. I have two further points:

5. Once you've learned the idiosyncrasies of the kiosk it is the same on every visit.

Human cashiers vary in their understanding of the menu, the McDonald's system, and the local language.
The human cashiers are also just poking their index fingers through a decision tree, though it's broader and less deep than self-serve kiosks often offer us.

If I'm ordering hamburgers for a road-trip I know my wife wants tartar sauce on hers, I want no ketchup on mine but I want extra mustard, and my cousin wants neither.

Trying to convey such a simple order (6Hamburgers)=(2TarterAdded+2(KetchupRemoved+ExtraMustard)+2(no sauce)) is an infuriating exercise in implicit closures.

"So you want extra mustard on the ones without ketchup?"

"On two of the ones without ketchup, yes. Two of the burgers are without any sauce at all."

Try ordering the sandwiches one-by-one and you'll discover that any two identical sandwiches in a row are treated as a mistaken repetition. Etc, etc.

6. The mobile apps allow parallelism. You don't have to wait to get to the counter or even the restaurant to make your order.

While I'm driving my wife can order our food. It's not exactly ready when we arrive but it's a lot sooner than if we'd waited in line.

At Disneyland, we often walked right by dozens of families to pick up our mobile orders because nobody had bothered to understand the app. We saved hours of waiting and given the price we were paying Disney to be in the park that was a huge savings.

The fundamental practical advantages of mobile ordering are so great that the back-end side will never be abandoned. So why not have a giant tablet in the restaurant running the front-end?
And when the variables are configurable in the application? then the options are...

a) setup the entire build toolchain for SCSS in the application

b) deepmerge some JSON, and have the app use that.

I've had to do it both ways... B is far easier to manage.
