> Is there not also a weird clause where you have to agree in the existence of a supreme being (it can be any supreme being, I think) because otherwise you can't take the oath of office?

No, in addition to the clause which directly prohibits religious tests, there is no clause which does anything like that; the required oath or affirmation is:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

No supreme being required or even directly relevant. You may be confusing the Presidency with Alcoholics Anonymous, which requires acknowledging a “higher power”.

No. The take away is that norway isn't doing anything but buying publicity with their little neocolonial effort. They lost nothing by this. They only gained. If norway really cared, they should stop drilling oil immediately and turn over their entire $1 trillion wealth fund over to nuclear and clean energy companies. But they'll never do that because they use their money for their own political self-interests.

Nevermind that half of a nation's export or a quarter of a nation's revenue from a single source is a ridiculous amount, the money norway uses to play neocolonist comes from their sovereign wealth fund(s) which come entirely from oil.

Also, indonesia ( and ASEANs ) problem is poverty, education and economic development. That $1 billion is nothing in the greater scheme of things. Heck it probably made things worse because deforestation went elsewhere, indonesia's development was slightly stunted and indonesia will probably deforest at a greater rate in the future.

Maybe if norway truly cared, they will force netherlands to pay reparations for colonization to indonesia and hand over the assets of the largest oil company in the world ( royal dutch shell ) to indonesia so that indonesia could develop faster. The dutch got rich stealing oil from indonesia. Maybe return some of that back?

Or buying $1 billion in advertising for self-congratulatory purposes while making things worse is better.

What has fundamentally changed? Nothing. It's like a billionaire tossing a homeless man $1 and being celebrated for their charity. Especially so if the billionaire caused a financial crisis that cause the guy to lose his job, home and become homeless in the first place.

I'm sure the indonesians living in poverty are ecstatic that wealthy norwegians are using their oil money to toss them some crumbs.
Yes. But I think the point of the OP is, patients might not be living any longer per se. What's "improving" is the earlier detection.

For example, I'm going to die to age for. Detecting the cancer at 38 makes it look like I survived 2 yrs; detect it at 35 and it looks like I survived 5 years. But either way I'm still dead at 40.

Nothing whatsoever. Why must it? Taxes are used to move money from where it is to where it needs to be.

The tax would price goods and services relative to their CO2. Hopefully some things like single use plastic, ICE cars, coal power would become impossible or very near so.

If you used some of the proceeds to start a UBI, it might pay to replace an ageing and creaking welfare and pension system. UBI might be suitable for a world with less job security for most, with many jobs potentially automated away and populations that are ageing rapidly.

It's the kind of thing governments do with their yearly budget to provide for citizens.

Spend it all on solar and wind power if you prefer, or the NHS; reopen some libraries. That the tax prices the impact correctly is the more important. Just so long as the govt doesn't decide to subsidise petrol with the proceeds. :p

Norway's oil fund pays pensions. Use this to fund something equivalently useful.
I'm not sold. We had a pool when I was growing up and since I was the youngest child, there was a several year stretch in high school where I was taking care of the chemicals in the pool and really the only person ever swimming in it.

If the pool was looking a little green, I dumped some chlorine in and guess what, the increased chlorine created increased irritation to my eyes. And no, I wasn't the kind to pee in my own pool - not that the amount of pee I could generate would cause the requisite chlorine-pee interaction that makes the pool such an irritant.
Spend the tax money on building offset mechanisms to recapture Carbon. Though not as cost-efficient as reducing carbon creation, they have the advantage that we can visit these facilities and verify they exist and are working.
So here is a little bit of explanation (which it sounds like you may already know). The general reason is that the cost reflects a lot of factors, and, if number of rows + available resources (CPU, memory, IO) + locks are constant, for the same logical result set, the cost does map to wall time. For example, given those constants I mentioned, if the execution time for a cost of 100 is 10 minutes, then you tweak the query (getting the same logical results) and the new cost is 50, the new execution time would be ~5 minutes (I think).

But most of those things I mentioned aren't constant. Available resources/system load changes, number of rows in tables change, and # of locks and length of holding on rows/tables change. So what you're left with is a cost that reflects the relative performance of a query compared to the same result set obtained by a different query.

For reference, in Oracle, this SO link [1] explains how cost is calculated.

Note: this is all my understanding, and someone more knowledgeable might know better.

I think we can move towards less punitive measures. In Europe there are far fewer jail sentences, I agree about violent offenders. The fact is most people are in jail for non-violent offenses.

Even in the case of violent crime, the necessity of imprisoning them for as long as the US does, is questionable. Again in Europe jail sentences tend to be much shorter.
'fully captures' is hard to do.

International tax harmonisation is even harder.

What is the size of the market for framed almost-complete wafers? Say you can sell a framed wafer for $50, of which $10 is materials and $10 is labor, you still make $30 x ~20,000 or ~$600,000 for the whole batch, minus taxes.
> a proprietary, insecure, easy to lose passport

> 15 years after Skype

I agree with your general sentiment, but the two phrases I picked out are where you have it backward. Phone numbers are not proprietary. They're difficult to move, but if you're a customer with one phone company you can call a customer of a different phone company using a phone number.

Skype is proprietary. It belongs to a single company. Customers of Skype or Facetime or Slack or Hangout cannot simply contact each other across services.

Yes, phone numbers need to be replaced. They need to be replaced by an open solution, not a proprietary solution like Skype.

I'm not an Android developer, but I think they've introduced SAF (Storage Access Framework) in 4.4 just for those cases; the app just asks the user for a specific file or directory, which is selected using the system's UI.
That's exactly what indirect means. Only a tiny portion of this oil and gas was ever used in Norway, the rest was exported. A lot of it was used up by developing nations.

Either way there were no hydrocarbon exports prior to early 1970s. Unless by "predecessors" you mean gen-x'ers.

I remember carrying a Nokia 3310, which is ~20mm if I remember correctly. I kept thinking when could we get this to thinner. Later I had a Sony Ericsson Kxxx, I think it was Sub 15mm, it was still too thick. In ~2007 ish I had a Nokia 6xxx that was sub 12mm, then iPhone all the way to iPhone 6s, 6.x mm which was the thinnest iPhone before reverting now to 8.x mm on iPhone XS.

All of them were still too think. I think iPad Pro 2018 got it about right. Somewhere between 5mm to 5.8mm would be perfect. But a 18mm foldable phone 5" Phone, I am not too sure. I would much prefer to have a thinner version of 6.8" iPhone.

I wanted to add that, in the US, it isn't primarily the constitution that protects its freedoms, but rather the structure of their government and how it's been setup for gridlock among all the parties involved (not that that property has been preserved too well of late). Antonin Scalia explained it really well in one of his appearances in front of a Senate Judiciary Committee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggz_gd--UO0

I admit to not fully understanding the intricacies of the EU system but, on the surface, it does appear to be setup for much lower friction when attempting to pass sweeping legislation like this one.
I ran a competing CoWorking space in Los Angeles. WeWork is the opposite of the no-frills aesthetic: they have lots of perks, fun perks, they are not cheap, and having any one perk is conspicuous.

WeWork is a youth community of people spending mom & dad money, conspicuously in a play-like-work space, not really working, and being super irritating to those trying to work.
Eh, I think this is a jargon issue.

Wood obviously isn't fireproof. But we have regulations that say that in buildings "fireproof" just means it will last some amount of time before burning or degrading/collapsing.

Ex: if you're in an office with a wooden door in the US, go check the side of the door where the hinges are. Most will have a small metal plate indicating that they're rated for some amount of time for fires.

If you do elect for a trial, you are going to be waiting for a long time (on Rikers), because the system is overloaded and isn't actually provisioned to provide justice for the volume of people forced through it. This is the same reason that prosecutors are pressured to plead everyone out and public defenders are pressured to take those deals.

It's easy to score public dollars to hire cops and build prisons, but it's much harder to add judges, public defenders, clerks, and courtrooms. The result is more people with a right to a trial than we have the capacity to give a trial. Justice is therefore a scarce good and must be rationed by some means: you can either queue (wait in jail), pay in cash (by hiring private representation and making cash bail), or roll the dice and go to trial with a public defender.

The solution isn't to find another way to ration justice, it's to reduce the imbalance between people with rights to a trial and the number of trials we can provide. We can do this by arresting fewer people by, for example, ending the war on drugs (among other things) or by expanding the number of judges, clerks, and public defenders in our justice system to be able to handle the whole load. Maybe both are needed in some measure.

I almost don't care where the tax money goes. If things cost more, consumers buy less of them. If carbon-intensive things are more expensive, there will be less carbon-intensive things. This is like market economics 101.
The costs are there to choose a plan. Relative ordering (individually and in aggregate) is all that's really needed for this, rather than some function of time.

Actual run time is heavily dependent on distribution of data. There may be characteristics of your data not modelled in statistics used to calculate costs.

If I were running a query that might take 15 minutes, I'd break it down, and put limit clauses in pinch points to figure out which bits of the query are sensitive (e.g. how much run time changes with increments to limits).

But often just looking at the plan will tell me if the database is doing joins in the order I think would be more or less efficient, given the extra context I have on the data distribution.
By definition a more expensive item cannot cannibalize sales of a less expensive one, at least when I learned it in business school. :)

I heard that voiced as a worry, and the logic goes something like this: A small organisation that does not have the capability (money or otherwise) to implement their own content filter, have to look elsewhere for it. Where to go? Probably Google, etc, once they start selling those services. So the net effect will not be negative for the big companies (if those now are the actual target for the copyright directive), since they will now instead have a new market to exploit; small organisations burdened by the content filter requirements demanded by the copyright directive.

Thanks, BMW! From the docs:

# Example

In a very simplified example, a client instance (e.g. the Navigation process) will create a 3D scene and "publish" it within the connected RAMSES applications (e.g. the renderer of each HMI).

These renderers will "subscribe" to the published scene and show it on the screen.

So not just for the giant grids you see at CES. But also applicable to thin clients, LAN party play, art gallery installations, etc.

That protects established injustices as much as it protects established freedoms. Perhaps more, since the fundamental structure incorporates a number of injustices.
