"To say that 2 solid players can't produce a perfect fourth or fifth together due to this equal temp influence, that's incorrect."

No, of course not. What I'm saying is the underlying tune is very likely still equal temperament. Probably one end of your perfect fifth is pinned to the equal temperament frequency, and the other end is tweaking just a bit to be the perfect fifth. That's still at least "influenced heavily" by equal temperament, if not simply "equal temperament with a couple tweaks". I've heard plenty of vocal/string works like this. I have not heard a lot of vocal works on a Pythagorean tuning or something, or something more exotic like shifting the base key of the tuning on the fly.

By contrast, historically, music was simply in another tuning. All of it, including vocal. It sounds strange to modern ears in a way that "equal temperament plus slight tweaks for a perfect 4th/5th" doesn't sound weird to anybody.
True, and also, the fact that apps have to work everywhere because everyone’s either on Mac, Windows, Linux, or BSD. And also a lot of power users and people who except things to just work compared to the early days of the PC. Remember sound drivers?

I don't think the democrats should cave because this is a terrible precedent that far outstrips "appearance". It feels like a perversion of checks and balances where, because on side doesn't get what they want, they shut down the entire government until the other side caves. I won't be a fan of future presidents shutting down the government every time they can't come to a bipartisan agreement.

Why do they need to show good faith? U.S. businesses don't go to China for good faith, they go to make money. China will do whatever it wants, right up to the very edge of what will harm their economic growth.

It’s not about this line item, it’s about the executive branch ursurping the power of the purse by holding federal workers and huge sectors of our economy ransom. Trump was on national tv saying he’s intentionally doing this for a pet project.
Interestingly the law that created the TSA expressly allows private security checks if they follow published TSA guidelines.

It's just that the TSA has refused to publish any written guidelines.

So it's entirely possible that airports could just bring in their own security checks.

This is a bold claim - but I suspect your definition of "interoperable" is stricter than common usage (i.e. executable)

Countless 3rd party libraries are interoperable with Android - the few that aren't probably rely on sun.* - I suspect google did do this to be interoperable with 3rd party libraries as well as Java developers' mental model of where to find things.

Honest question: I still don't understand how the "federal workers must work during furlough" thing doesn't violate the 13th Amendment. What's the story there?
I was wondering if federal workers have an equivalent to 401k that they can take a loan from (TSP I think it is called)? Or are there a large number of affected employees that don't participate in this program?
They can absolutely quit, but not strike. Does not seem constitutional in the US but eh.
There's at least two classes of employees here:

1) essentials, who are required to work and will indeed likely be repaid

2) non-essentials, who are not allowed to work and will not be repaid. They've effectively been forced into an unplanned month-long+ leave of absence. To be honest I feel worse for this group, though it sucks for everyone.

>An administration official recommended that all those affected simply take out loans but unfortunately banks don't lend to people without an income

I think bills have been passed already guaranteeing back pay for federal employees, so it's a bit more complicated than "no income" for federal employees.

However, everyone else who is a contractor or otherwise tangentially dependent on government employment...

And of course getting back pay at some unknown future date doesn't put food on the table now or keep you from losing your house or car.
Then we've diluted the term "slavery" enough that it's no longer usable in a reasonable discussion.
Those are credit unions aimed at federal employees. Which means that a large chunk of their ownership is people affected by the shutdown. That’s not charity so much as helping themselves. Which is still great, obviously, but I wonder how it is for affected people who don’t belong to federal employee credit unions.
Interesting thing I discovered when I was concerned about SFO delays is that SFO is one of the few airports in the U.S. that does not use TSA for security...it hires its own private security officers.

I don't know about striking per se. But I have been somewhat confused about why all these workers are reporting to work when they're not being paid. If it's purely out of good will and dedication for their jobs, I appreciate that, but I wonder if it doesn't just serve to mask the problem. Employment at will means that every day is a new agreement - I work then you pay. If one side of that declines, then so should the other. I'm sure that one thing at play is that those that continue to show up will probably have better rep with managers when this is over. That's unfortunate and, I assume, technically illegal. But it's all the more reason that if the pay stops, so should the work - across the board.
In Canada it triggers a new election
Most engineering education in the US is fungible, particularly at the undergrad level. The curricula are standardized. There are elite universities like MIT and individual engineering programs at very ordinary universities with special circumstances, e.g. aerospace engineering at UA-Huntsville's proximity to Marshall Space Flight Center and Redstone Arsenal provides students easier access some world class opportunities that rankings might not reflect.

Elite universities aside (possibly), making a decision on the basis of economics is not unreasonable because engineering credentials are mostly treated as equivalent. By design, engineering credentials indicate basic competence not relative expertise.
it is a political thing. Both the House and the Senate have to approve bills that fund these various government agencies, so if a president has at least one of the two backing him up (just enough that they can't override his veto) then he can say give me X or we won't pass the funding bill.

It's standard practice to tack lots of little x things onto the bill because they wouldn't ever really pass on their own, but people don't want to deal with a shutdown to stop them. Sometimes that is a big enough issue that people will deal with a shutdown.

The Act allows the President to intervene in any strike that is considered a national security interest. And this has been interpreted in the courts rather broadly.
> the pipes in your typical functional language (`|>`) is not a form of function composition

What is a "typical functional language" in this case? I don't think I've come across this `|>` notation, or anything explicitly referred to as a "pipe", in the functional languages I tend to use (Haskell, Scheme, StandardML, Idris, Coq, Agda, ...); other than the Haskell "pipes" library, which I think is more elaborate than what you're talking about.

Contractors are not working now though they were sent home. There are 3 buckets of people:

1) Employees forced to work. Promised backpay by a resolution that was passed.

2) Employees not allowed to work. Promised backpay by a resolution. "Free vacation"

3) Contractors not allowed to work. Will not get backpay, money lost is "gone" forever.
>Why can't the ATC adopt a funding model like the USPS so they don't have this problem in the future relying on appropriations. Can they basically charge airlines and other traffic for their services to fund the operations. I'm mostly curious if this is actually realistic.

I'm not sure if it's economically realistic but it seems politically realistic.

The right should be fine with the idea of a government agency being less tax dependent and I'm not sure what problem the left would have with it. The corporate interests should also have no problem with it because it arguably gives them slightly more control (ATCs being less accountable to the .gov for funding them makes them more accountable to customers). I'm not familiar with how ATCs work but on the surface it seems like it could be a win-win-win.
ZFS supports both compression and de-duplication on send streams, the behavior on the receiving side depends on the configuration of the pool+dataset where the data is being received.

There used to be some differences in features/behavior depending on the ZFS version in use (Solaris vs FreeBSD vs ZFSoL/OpenZFS) but I believe as of 2018 all ZFS implementations have these features for send streams

Democrats could start by approving salary payments during the shutdown.
Though of course the underlying risk is that few contractors are going to want to work for the US government again, making it a lot more difficult to fill some positions where skills are scarce.

The knock-on effects of this shutdown are going to be around for years.
It is also about not teaching people that you can subvert democratic practice and get what you want.
I’m curious what the interest rate is. Because if you’re already tight enough to need a loan, the interest is gonna cut pretty deep, even if it’s a relatively low rate. My fear would be predatory terms targeted at a vulnerable group.

In situations like this people need to understand what exactly was being voted on. It's common in American federal politics for bills to be voted on that contain poison pills so that headlines like the story you linked to can be made. Both parties have passed bills in the respective chambers they control to end the shutdown.

At some level and at some point in time probably both parties will take the blame for this mess. However, the President appears to have put his party at a disadvantage in terms of public relations due his proudly shutting down the government:

> "It bugs me that other people can reveal information About me and there is little I can do"

Very true and it has been bugging me since I have gotten familiar with internet since a long time ago. This was the reason I used to create accounts online without my real data back then. Up until recently that is. Once there were tools in place to get rid of ur discovery online, unless deliberately shared I stayed away. But everything comes under question once more. This is hostile takeover of data.

And yeah, I used to be as meticulous about data as you had been while storing phone contacts etc., But more and more it is becoming evident that what's given away online can never come back to you at least until there is effective regulation in place.

I appreciate the EU for their foresight and strict data policies!

Hello, I am 28 years old and dont really ever recall a government shutdown happening in my years, pre-trump. People up above in the comments have written more details i would recommend reading thru the comments more to get info.

However for a quick summary, trump is whinging like a bitch (this is literally all he does) because the democrats wont agree to his finances for the wall. Something like 5.7billion for just a down payment. So instead of negotiating like a good person, he just cries and SHUTS DOWN THE WHOLE GOVERNMENT. He has done like 3 shutdowns so far lol. guy is a fuckin nutjob but someone we elected him =(
Government shutdowns in the United States
It’s not that they literally must work. It’s that they can be fired for not showing up despite going without pay. Any private employer could also try this, although it’s questionable whether or how long people would put up with it. When the government is the employer, there’s some level of confidence that at least you’ll get paid in the future, whereas with a private employer once they stop paying on time they usually are going to continue to have trouble making payroll until they fold.
Non-essentials EMPLOYEES are going to get paid. They have in every other shutdown. They essentially are taking a paycheck delay in exchange for a 30+ day vacation.

When I was a kid, my dad was deciding between two engineering jobs; one for the US Department of Commerce and another in the private sector for a big aerospace contractor.

The private sector one paid more, I remember, but my mother brought up to my dad something interesting: You're less likely to get laid off, and you'll always have more job security, with the stable paycheck provided by a government job.

It's weird to think about it, but at this point in time, the United States Government may be one of the worst major employers in the country. Two missed pay periods, unstable leadership, no yearly budget, massive deficits, constantly changing its mind.

> they will be paid for all the work, eventually

The reductio on this argument ("why not just pay them for the year in a lump sum on December 31, 2019?") makes it obvious how inadequate it is given two pay periods have already been missed.

There are real financial costs being created (late fees, etc.) that the government is offloading onto its employees. This is dishonorable.
They are guaranteed backpay though, so that should work as collateral.
Isn’t this the exact opposite? It helped in the short term but hurts in the long term.

We have 2 horrible years where Trump was in the White House and the GOP controlled the House and the Senate and there was no stomach for the border wall. To think there is any greater chance now that the Democrats control the House or that they could somehow be shamed into capitulating is laughable.

The public has generally not been kind to whatever party forced a shutdown. Look at Newt Gingrich's shutdown as one modern example. According to 538 it seems like people are (rightly) blaming Trump for this. Good.

My question is at what point do McConnell develop a spine and overrule the president? Because that's what it may well take. Either that or a rank-and-file revolt in the Senate.

I'm glad to see banks are trying to help out Federal workers who are hurt by this but the one question I have is: how can people live and have responsibilities and sudden expenses and not be able to come up with $500?

It seems like in the US the two legislative branches and the executive branch of government have to all agree each year on a budget, or else everything shuts down? It's a curious system, I think in most countries not being able to pass a budget would bring down the government and cause a new election. It seems to rely very strongly on politicians seeking compromise, which is ambitious!

A question to American posters: could any party holding any of the branches of government unilaterally shut down the entire government if they chose, until the next scheduled congressional or presidential election?
