American politicians have no vision anymore, so I think anything like that will never happen. Free public universities in the hundreds will not happen, we must dump $750B into weapons purchases and troop salaries. Guaranteed healthcare wil not happen, $500 bottles of Tylenol won’t allow it. New infrastructure for a bigger population will not happen, the people using the current infrastructure aren’t complaining much.

The people who don’t need the help have little incentive to sacrifice their limited resources to help the less advantaged, and the people who do need it don’t know what they need so they get sucked in by destructive authoritarian politicians who focus on the next election instead of the next 20 years.

However, the entire reason this is happening is because technology is shifting the economic system to require high-skill concentration into cities and low-skill jobs offloaded to cheap countries rather than needing lots of rural resource-generating towns. It’s easy for me to blame visionless politicians and people, but I think in the end we are all beholden to the system. But what is a system but lots of individual people effecting each other? How did socialism and communism reach their height of popularity in the US in the 1930’s? Can we beat the system by changing it, or is it just too big to ever reach a critical mass of change?
> acclimation to higher altitudes

Is this really much of an issue? I'm sure altitude sickness can occur at some places like breckenridge, but even there most people seem to adjust within a day or two. Altitude over 4km is a different story, but don't think there's a single resort in the world at that height.

edit : ok I was wrong, there are at least 5 resorts with a peak over 4km across China, India and Bolivia. still think those are outliers :D

Linear algebra should be easier than calculus shouldn't it? The whole program of differential calculus is basically that we already know how to solve problems in linear algebra, so let's solve other problems by reducing them to questions of linear algebra in the tangent space.
The question is not just whether licensing is necessary per se, but also whether those licensing requirements are reasonable, proportionate and effective.

Do you really need 1,600 hours of training to learn how to sanitise a pair of scissors? Does that training actually make people less likely to stab someone in the head? Are there alternative routes for hairdressers to demonstrate their competence?

To my mind, it seems far more reasonable for these issues to be addressed through routine inspections and the prompt investigation of complaints. Qualifications may provide supporting evidence for the competence of a practitioner, but they are neither necessary nor sufficient.
This is evidence of an industry lobby written bill.
A lot of people have the luxury of raging against licensing and regulation because they don't remember the world before these existed.

It's just assumed that most people are honest about their work and the who aren't will be swiftly punished. But in most cases, it's the opposite: the honest people get driven out because scammers can promise the world for a penny because they know they will never deliver.

People were fed up with being swindled left and right, so they decided to get the government to step in. Obviously, they've been highly successful because Libertarians can't even imagine the world as it was 100 years ago.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted when you're right.
In all honesty, the biggest issue particularly in the south (Hawaii as well) is that most people are content with their lives. They aren't trying to move up the corporate ladder, learn the latest tech etc... They are happy with their jobs, culture, families, and traditions. This mindset clashes with the rest of America, particularly the West coast, were having a family, culture, and traditions are seen as negative to society.

We are trying to solve regional issues from a national perspective. Local government and issues needs to become more important. Locals need to solve local issue. People in Portland, OR aren't going to to solve issues in Mandeville, LA.
Ya, sound far worse than it was. I'd phrase it more along the lines of saying "one third of collected taxes were re-spent in the country". A government buying services from local people, rather than importing it from abroad, is not a bad thing.

I think the other two thirds, the part not spent within India, was a far greater problem. That was the 'stolen' money, the money removed from the country.
They most definitely are licensed at the state, county, and city level. They require food handlers permits, and possible other certifications depending on the specific activity.

That said, these licenses are typically about $10 and can be completed by online website in about an hour. I would expect something similar could work for hair cutting as well, but probably not for all the more exotic things like hair dying.
If fission is dead, then earth is dead. There is no way we'll survive if we continue to burn coal at the rate we do, and renewable don't work at scale yet and storage is not yet solved. Fission is the only thing that can provide us with enough clean energy in the near term (next 50 years).

You have described the worst case well. We should fear it.

But the best case is worth considering too:

Every person who could be a talented crane operator can rent a crane, can borrow the cash to rent the crane, can rent an agent who can help them find crane gigs, can rent a trainer who can make sure they know what they need to and practice, can rent insurance to protect the whole venture from risk....

The ownership society tends towards stagnant labor ecosystems. Because owners want to be able to walk away from their assets and passively collect dividends from them, the social structure around those assets calcifies.

A 1000-fold increase in the kinds of things that can be hired would seem to give the actual laborers and managers the power to compete with their capital class “directors”. Even director is probably giving them too much credit because it implies some administrative labor. “Lord” is really the best word I can think of for what capital class people aspire to.

In a society where everything can be rented in a fine grained way, the capital class is no longer needed. In a truly robust rental market, margins would tend towards the cost of administration, so even the rentals themselves are only serving to support the wages of the renter-worker and the rental administrator-worker.
This is great until a major conflict happens between the US and the country responsible for a major food staple, and domestic production is decimated by imports, and there’s a food shortage.
I believe these tendencies exist because of a strong emotional attachment to personal identity. If you engineered a social system where people devalued personal identity, then I doubt these problems would be so invasive.

I agree. I moved to Minneapolis 20 years ago and one of my first political memories is of Jesse Ventura arguing that mass transit had to be improved because building more roads just means that more people will drive. He was right.

Parking is horrendous in Minneapolis. I moved away and now live in rural MN but take the bus into the city. It is far less stressful than driving and then wasting time trying to find a place to park. Especially as the surface lots are sold off to build apartments and condos. The parking situation will only get worse.

If it weren't for MetroTransit, etc., building massive Park&Ride lots in the far suburbs, many of us would refuse to even work in the cities, likely causing an outflux of talent to better areas.

You can’t have a rule against a storm, only a raindrop. Rules have to be enforced against individuals. And what rule would you make that could be enforced?

That isn’t to say you couldn’t have a storm response policy. But then how would you keep the storm from happening first?

Everyone understands those notions when they benefit them and everyone is quick to discard or gloss over them when they don't. It's a simple economic calculation, China just happens to be on the other end of it compared to the rest of the world - namely, the benefits of ignoring these notions outweighs the risks of antagonizing the U.S.
DJI drones all have altitude restrictions, but even those can be overcome without a lot of modification.

This is definitely not true if they sent it to you by accident.
Every east coast state from Maine to Maryland is run by the cities in that state. The west coast is almost the same. I don't know if those states are "gerrymandered" in favor of the rural districts but if they are it's not enough to matter because those states are certainly run by the cities.

I'm not saying what you've said isn't true. I'm saying it doesn't matter in practice.

Gerrymandered or not if the cities want something they get it. The only time rural areas get a real say is if the cities are split on an issue or if the suburban areas split disagree with the cities. NY, MA and VT are good examples.

The only real reason to have money in RH, IMO, is if you're gambling with <$1000 on penny stocks and options-cum-lottery tickets.
Heh, so maybe I was overly sarcastic in my tone, assuming you were just criticizing from the sidelines. :)

I suppose the less sarcastic version, is that Sketch is just a happy accident. A class project, that turned out to be very close to something solving a real problem for a significant market of people willing to pay money for a solution to that problem.

There are seven states with only ONE House of representative: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming.

The reason for the above is that there are so little population ( less than 650,000 )in the whole state.

These 7 states each have TWO senators.
The reason for this is this is how the country was formed giving 2 senators to each state in the constitution. These 14 senators are always Republican and see their weight on 100 seat Senate.

so two reasons why US cannot reflect the wishes of the majority of the voters.

1/ fourteen senators from 7 states ( with a population less than 650,000) elect the same Republican senators for decades ( think about their influence on judicial judge selection and every other decision senate make)

2/ as you mentioned, state-level gerrymandered ( in bigger population states) electing more House reps of Republicans even though their vote share is less than 50%

Note that we've never spent as much money as we've always known would be necessary to achieve useful fusion power, so the oft-repeated idea that it's been surprisingly technologically difficult is not actually justified by the historical track record.

> Typically, outsiders cannot comprehend how the massive expenditures never manage to yield energy. Typically, insiders cannot comprehend how little is being invested in a project that presents such immense technical obstacles and also such potential. A graph commonly passed around among the insiders—an enduring scrap of twentieth-century budgetary ephemera—depicts the 1976 federal plan to build a working thermonuclear reactor. The graph tracks various scenarios for attaining fusion energy. The “maximum” effort, the most expensive up front, with initial spending as high as nine billion dollars a year, was projected to yield a reactor by 1990. The “moderate” effort, with spending never exceeding four billion dollars in a year, would take fifteen more years. The fusion community might be easy to criticize for its many unmet milestones, but for decades the United States has never come close to even the moderate effort. In 1977, when the American fusion budget was at its peak, government investment in the research, adjusted for inflation, was seven hundred million dollars; by 1991, this had fallen by more than half. It is now half a billion, not appreciably more than the Korean budget.

>After watching a Defcon talk about the idea that transponders self-indicate their position without signature

Older style (I forget the proper name) transponders don't indicate their position, only ID and altitude. Newer ADS-B transponders include GPS position.

It's an interesting point though. Assuming for a moment that a bunch of drone operators equipped their drones with ADS-B transponders, I speculate that there could be a chance of overwhelming an airport approach radar's ability to track targets. Could potentially overwhelm the electronics, or the operators.
While not a 'normal' user as such, I've used only Linux at home and at work (Win VM at work occasionally for rare corporate stuff). I develop software, control my guitar amp and audio equipment, play video games, do photo processing, watch videos ....

No, it's not a viable alternative for everything, it's damn close. Valve is doing some incorporation of Wine into Steam that should make many "Windows-only" games play effortlessly.

Don't use Linux if you don't want to obviously, but complaining because you can't play all games written for a completely different OS is a valid complaint. If you know people that are concerned about surveillance and privacy, don't scare them away. At least tell people about multi-boot.

I'm looking at the code I linked, and you are serializing in the general case, it is not zero copy. Unpacking a bitmap is not free.
I'll admit that I'm fairly sketched out in general at the suggestion of extra-legal measures of justice in a civilized society. I think the potential for harm far outweighs the good that might be done and that your goal of a 1:1 ratio sounds a lot like "eye for an eye". It's about as counter to societal progress an idea as I can think up.

And I say all that as someone who saw the Surrogate Court system abused to steal away all of the lifetime wealth honestly earned by my mother.
The thing is, when I'm working remotely, the amenities that the city I live in can provide are even more important than if I'm working in an office. If I'm working remotely, then 100% of my social needs have to come from the city. So having culture, things to do, etc., becomes even more important.

I live in a city because I like living in a city, and then secondarily also because there's good jobs here.

I have not worked with NDB, nor read any research papers or documentation about it. So that's why I didn't have it in mind when I wrote that post.

But I'm a little confused by your comment: How is it possible to partition consensus without having more than leader? To me, the definition of "partitioned consensus" is that there is more than one consensus group, which means more than one leader.

Also, FYI, Calvin does not serialize transactions. It processes transactions in parallel. But it guarantees equivalence to a predetermined serial order. That distinction is important. As far as scalability, I discussed that in my previous post. Calvin doesn't have any scalability constraints that can be reached by known real-world workloads.
I'm seeing some really interesting JavaScript techniques in the turtlevm.js[1] source.

This line in particular stands out:
const code = String(work).trim().split("{").slice(1).join("{").slice(0, - 1).trim().replace("/0/", _turtlevmapi).replace("/1/", strCode);

It looks like the author is injecting the turtle code written by the user into a "work" function that removes dangerous objects (XMLHttpRequest, WebSocket, etc).

Can someone with experience writing a VM in JS point to a good reference on the topic?

That suggests your C compiler isn't doing jump threading: replacing the jump to an unconditional jump instruction with a direct jump to that instruction's destination.

That's a very basic optimization I might expect even from a C compiler written in 1980.
