Cool, I knew I had to be missing something. You're right of course.
Lack of a streamlined and efficient construction approvals process is really hurting (some ?) US cities. Or the real estate developer community is really spoiled there.

And by streamlined I don't mean just rubber stamp everything. But instead have clear rules, and check the plans fast whether they are compliant with them. (Basic civil engineering stuff, fire hazard, environmental protection, noise, traffic management, historic status. What else is there to check?)
I would buy this in an instant if it were available for macos. Looks great!
For centuries businesses come and go. I am sure at every level of government incentives happen. Tax break is an incentive. Other businesses could get expedited approvals or permits, some might get licenses etc.

Part of american way of doing business, really.
Stocks do beat gold over long stretches of time except in times of crisis (obviously). There are 10 year ranges where gold does beat the market. Then it goes to sleep or down for 10 years at a time (obviously this destroys its compounding effect and puts it at a severe disadvantage to stocks)....this makes sense because its a commodity... For instance it absolutely ripped in 2000 through 2011 but fell thereafter while the global economy was full steam ahead.

Further, theres a reason why Ray Dalio is saying its a good time to hold some gold today. namely the absurd US entitlement schedule/unfunded pensions and global debt being absurdly high(320% of GDP). Despite what Buffet is saying, regular deleveragings (say every 10 years or so) do clearly happen as seen in 2001 and 2008 (though 2008 wasnt really a deleveraging of debt like it was in 2001 if you look at the data) - obviously it was a greater shock however... We are arguably in the "long term debt cycle/a super cycle" as Dalio writes in his latest book (which happens about every 70 years) because global interest rates are at rock bottom (central govts around the world dont have tools to bail out the economy at these levels). I know Buffet is right in the very long run, but I dont have the stomach endure the next 3 years or or so/be down like 50% for a period of time. Ill invest back in the market after this next recession.
Hey can you guys answer a question for me.

Is berkshire double taxed on the income it’s companies make?

Say Berkshire owns a company. Does that company pay corporate income tax on the money it makes. Then it passes the rest of the profit to Berkshire and does Berkshire pay income tax again on that money?
I take-away two quotes from that letter:

1) "They are like the dog that caught the car"

2) "that 'to be a progressive, there must be progress.'"

Lately (the last couple of decades) I believe that politicians should shut up, and that technocrats should take over. Especially "progressive" politicians, they are the ones that make me hold my wallet tighter in my pocket. I am just tired of cheap words and no actions.

Note: I am 100% pro-democracy and pro-elections, without interference by ANYONE, and that includes any three-letter-agencies of this world (KGB, CIA, xyz) meddling anyone's elections.

I don't live anywhere near NY, I understand the frustration of the people who feared that the local economy would be disrupted/changed dramatically. A cousin of mine keeps saying "it's better to share a bowl of honey than having a bowl of poop all to yourself". I think that those who forced Amazon to flee will enjoy their bowl of poop, no matter how they will try to spin it.
No? I don't understand how you're connecting these dots.

It's not like we have to wonder whether the union strategy worked here. It demonstrably failed. Amazon didn't buckle, they didn't accept Whole Foods unionization as a condition of setting up shop in Queens, and the union will not in fact see a single additional job as a result of what happened.
It does if you go over 80, which is the limit. Does that not suffice?

Quite a neat language, I just wished there was more code samples / full ones, and/or having the code be open sourced (maybe not possible depending on the employer).

Also I thought it was going to talk about something like the Blub Paradox: http://wiki.c2.com/?BlubParadox
We do have some experience with it out here in the middle. I have a relative (by marriage) who did a pipeline protest then went to "protest a volcano in Hawaii". Apparently, it was a good gig.

I'm just surprised that the NY government put it in a press release. It really seems odd, but maybe that union has really separated itself from the herd, politically.

As a politics major from an Australian university, and as someone who now lives in Norway. You’re about 50% right.

Yes in Australia mandatory voting has some people who “donkey vote” or as you call it “vote randomly” that percentage is almost all the 18-22 range. It’s not till they have to sit through a full one or two election cycles before they start to give a shit.

As such my generation has seen the bullshit that’s been handed to us, we won’t stand for it. It is generational because of the two major parties, their “young” version hasn’t had anyone transition from the young party to the major party for members of GenX. It’s only now when the boomers are retiring are we starting to see some younger blood. Why? Cause those that didn’t give a shit, now care and it’s a huge wave of people.

Politics are so much more left here in Norway, because people are educated and give a shit. The fucking Christian Right party just came up with the policy to decriminalise all drugs because putting people in jail and fining them wasn’t working. So why not try to help them with counsellors instead. No fines, no jail time... just help if they want it.

What’s Australia doing? Well we just voted to dump a bunch of shit in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef because it’s inconvinent for the super rich assholes to ship their exports around it. Got to make a way through it for the ships.

That shit won’t last with my generation.

Title is not original and worse, may be false.

I need some more expert clarification here but two possible issues:

Prior art rules for publication are relevant re patentablity, but invalidation is a different matter than patent granting. IANAL but I believe any proof of priority before the claimed date of invention (?) can obviate a patent (which is different than the rules for granting a patent.)

Nor are courts the only place patents are invalidated.

Also, in the past "publication" could mean public display. One doesn't want to end up in the position where a technique millions use already, is patentable.
Malaria is caused by a protist (a singled celled organism), not a virus. To some extent, you are right about the mosquito being a bigger target. However, the larger reason is that Plasmodium populations (the protist) are larger than mosquito populations and, consequently, can evolve around human modifications faster.

Your alternative is dependency injection. What you seem to be describing is class factories (I.e. the use of meta classes) which /is/ OOP.

That said, I think OOP is fine. And so is FP. They’re just tools, and I would prefer to model nouns in the former, and model verbs with the latter.

- Less types of mosquito's

- Way (many orders of magnitude) less # of mosquitos than parasite organisms (malaria is a single celled organism, mosquito's are ~1 million celled organisms).

A tangent on ways to do it with Qt, because I don't like seeing Qt presented in a bad light due to unfamiliarity.

With Qt you can chain QObject::metaType(), QMetaObject::className(), int QMetaType::type(const char *typeName) to get an integer you can use to switch () on type. It is, I believe, possible but obscure on purpose because it is not meant to be used willy-nilly. You can also access Q_PROPERTYs by name using QObject::property(), and Qt's own classes have the same names for the same properties where it makes sense - such as text() in QLineEdit and QAbstractSpinBox etc.

It depends on your requirements if using that approach actually makes sense. I haven't seen it used yet... If you want to serialize GUI state, a more intrusive design where, say, you keep some helper data on the side to allow "dumber" code in the actual de/serialization might be better. Or just wire up the widgets to a model (QAbstractItemModel and / or QObjects exposing Q_PROPERTYs - that's how you do it with QML if you do it right) and use the model as the main source of truth and, of course, for serialization.

The "high level debugger for Qt" GammaRay is a nice showcase of what you can do with Qt's introspection capabilities. Qt had ~3 extension points added for GammaRay to observe object lifecycles, most everything else is based on pre-existing functionality.

The problem—in my opinion—with arguing "an AI could never do X" is that your argument generally ends up working against you, by creating a well-bounded problem space, which is the first step to solving any problem (in this case, with AI.) I find it hard to create an argument against AI that isn't self defeating.

I personally don't see why a group of smart and soulful people couldn't assemble a database of cultural input data and train an AI to create some meaningful expressions that fundamentally change our human perspective, or change culture, or whatever heuristic you'd like to set for what makes an artist. Particularly as humanity comes to grips with what it means to be human in a post-AI world, this maybe the exact thing that becomes interesting from an artistic perspective.

I guess you could debate about attribution in that case, and a whole bunch about semantics in any case.

Palaeontology drives a lot of fossil fuel discovery. Perhaps not so important over the next 100 years, but I believe it was pretty significant over the last 100 years.

With regard to economics, deflation seems bad. Really bad. I (think) I get your point. I think you’re expecting physics results from economics. Econ usually says weak things in a limited context, like weather.

Yes. Debt matters. I would be happier with less of it. But in our current context, for a little while, it’s not that important. It’s a fire 300 miles away. The fire could be a really big personal problem surprisingly quickly, but today the biggest worry is housing and feeding the refugees. It’s a strained analogy. Hopefully it gets the point across.
This is an interesting perspective. I guess having the company set up in a remote-first manner vs. just having a few employees working remote are indeed very different scenarios then, and if one is ever to work remotely, they should only aim for a remote-first company.
Considering they completely lack internationalization/localization (at least on signup, on Hot Pepper and their Recruit account management page), it doesn't give me the impression Recruit has the right mindset to compete on a global scale.

While this is just a medium hard problem to fix technically, it's the mindset of most employees that would have to change. Good i18n/l10n requires some consideration of development (it's easy to create untranslatable text, when the technical structure of strings can't reflect foreign grammar), marketing/sales (you need different approaches for different markets) and management (giving time to do i18n right).

Currently Recruit shows the typical island mentality. Their consideration ends at the borders of Japan. Not a good place to start for global domination.

The 20th century had horrors of Naziism and racism, yes, but it also had horrors perpetrated in the name of "progress" and "reeducation." If you have emotionally internalized the horrors of Germany and Jim Crow, but haven't done the same with the USSR, the Cultural Revolution, and the Khmer Rouge, then I can understand why ideologically-enforced progressivism might seem harmless and noble.

The article doesn't really explain, but there's more to it than that. My guess is that the male offspring are still fertile, but carry the gene drive and so spread the infertile-female gene to all their offspring. Eventually, the entire population is rendered either male or infertile females and dies.

Anyone else who proposes to develop at the scale that Amazon was proposing, would likely be achieving similar tax incentives as to what Amazon was offered. Particularly since the terms of the deal were made public, that becomes an anchor point for any similar discussions.

There is no question that organic growth will eventually create 25,000-40,000 jobs. But the net present value (NPV) of that future job creation is significantly reduced after applying the discount. So even the same number of jobs is not a comparable economic impact.

Here's a fairly unique version of the story from two parents in Gomel with young children at the time of the accident [1]. Quite a story. The dad was a professor and had a Geiger counter and took readings. The mom's story is more emotional. The kid grew up to be a nuclear engineer.

I live and run a startup out of Japan and given the engineering talent here or lack thereof, I can almost guarantee that you won’t see any Japanese tech startup going global anytime soon. If anything, they will copy another global innovative company and dominate the domestic market but with no real innovation (look no further than the very mediocre Rakuten).

Gone are the days where Sony, Nintendo and others had what it takes to craft a quality product that was compelling to global audiences.

Japan has lost its mojo and the sad thing is that the conservatives forces are so strong that this country won’t attract any talent needed to change the bad bad status quo for the foreseeable future.
Correction: Serhii Plokhy.
I don't think he ever meant it that way. It's not that he "cannot take a leisurely walk without distraction", but that he wants to get some walking while working, i.e. the priority is reversed. He claims to walk for "a couple of hours" which is too long to not be doing anything for him. You seem to be generalizing a lot from this one person's preference.

Also, a lot of people listen to podcasts/audiobooks while walking/jogging. Is that a "distraction"? I'd say it's actually even a plus and those two activities are complementary to each other: Being in the wild helps you concentrate on the audiobook, and being able to read something uninterrupted motivates you to go out and do some exercise every day.

I fear a fast deprecation for x86 support like in [1].

After releasing the first Intel Macs in 2006 we already saw the last OS X release with PowerPC support only one year later in 2007. I believe a Mac has a longer lifetime than a smartphone or tablet and I hope that the Apple ecosystem will not leave the Intel devices behind so fast.

The other uncertainty is the upcoming move to Marzipan apps. If its full release becomes somewhat ARM-exclusive, we might have the same risks as with Windows 8 and their Metro disaster. In the case of an unified iOS/macOS-Hybrid these ARM Macs might have no fallback anymore to the already established macOS ecosystem. (like Windows RT)

One reason: consistency. When you introduce new features, idioms shift and maintaining code that uses multiple idioms for similar purposes is simply less fun. In the worst case you make changes harder because you now have to make your changes compatible with more modes of usage.
