That's strange. Reading your comment, my first thought was WTF is the Dutch Navy doing intercepting shipments from India to Brazil.

Then, I read your link and had another WTF moment: why is a shipment from India to Brazil travelling through the Netherlands and thus subject to their customs? India->Netherlands->Brazil seems like an incredibly inefficient trade route.
Your link says otherwise. XP can do it too. Might just be a software thing
Daylight Saving Time Year-Round, Abolish Standard Time in US
I've enjoyed my games of Quacks but I grew fed up with it quickly. RNG plays a huge role in this game, it is a push your luck gambling game first. If you play enough you will play a round where the first three chips drawn from a bag of twenty are white and add up to 8. You've lost the round and probably the game.

RNG overshadows the strategy of ingredients you buy. I can't tell if the ingredients I bought worked well together or I just got lucky. Some ingredients are strictly overpowered and others are strictly worse. The blue birds in set 1 that allow you to look at 1/2/4 tiles from your bag and choose to play 1 is incredible and you should _always_ buy it.

The catch up mechanic is interesting but favors experienced players. First, if you go bust and create a potion with more than 7 cherry bombs you must pick between getting money to buy ingredients or getting points (instead of both). At the beginning of each round players with fewer points than the lead player will get a boost to their potion. Experienced players will bust during the first 1-3 rounds in order to get more money to buy ingredients, and get a boost to their potion the next round because of the catch up mechanic.

It's a fun game and it has been getting a lot of play time because it is fast, but I'm not sure how much longer that will last.

Marginal Revolution is the blog of Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok, both of whom teach at George Mason University. MR began in August of 2003 and there have been new posts daily since that time. In numerous reviews and ratings over the years Marginal Revolution has consistently been ranked as the best or one of the best economic blogs on the web, but it is more (and less) than that, also representing the quirks of its authors.

In the auto enthusiast circles, it's widely accepted that this side of ~2006 Audi is the gold standard for interior. They're going into the full EV market and are really pushing the advertising for their Audi e-tron very hard. I don't know about anything else, but I can guarantee you it will be luxuriously finished with attention to detail.

(VW group owns both Audi and Porsche. Porsche interiors, despite coming in more expensive vehicles, still play second fiddle to Audi's and are generally a little more austere.)

> no village that will raise your child

except that in the majority of the world people live in more communal settings. You're probably thinking of nations where people don't even know their neighbors. Also you misunderstand "village". The way I see that term nowadays is more about public and private institutions that provide support for kids in their education and upbringing. At least in SV there are tons of things going on every weekend where kids can go do things for "free" or at very low cost. You just have to look. For example last week the tech museum in sj had free admission sponsored by KDFC the local classical music station, home depot has free workshops every few months, the school district has free weekend field trips for families with preschool kids, not to mention the library has stuff that's going on every single day, more stuff : https://www.bayareaparent.com/
There are a lot of misconceptions about the EU, the European Union, in your post.

> The EU is a very complicated collection of many individual countries that all have their own citizens

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizenship_of_the_European_Un...

As a German, I'm a citizen of Germany and a citizen of the EU.

> Free movement in the EU doesn’t even extend to all member countries

Sure it does. It does even extend to a few countries outside the EU.

> different types of citizens

They are all EU citizens. All of them have the right of free movement within the EU. Many of them are also in the Schengen area (which has 400 Million people), which got rid of internal border controls and which has a common Visa policy.

> Turkey is a dictatorship and came damn close to being in the EU.

It never came close to being in the EU. There have been talks since 2005 with not much progress. Turkey would need to fully comply with EU laws and regulations. That's a process which could need another decade. Then the EU countries would need to vote in favor. Every single one of them. That's not clear how that would be achievable. If Turkey would be a dictatorship, then there would be zero chance of Turkey becoming a member of the EU.

If it’s just the result of societies getting richer, then why doesn’t a rich society like the USA have free higher public education/healthcare like most wealthy countries (that are yet less wealthy than the USA), or why doesn’t the UAE have a democracy?

And if being rich isn’t enough but it also requires the will of some people to push these ideas through and realize them, then wouldn’t you call those people... idealists?

If not, I’d love to hear what definition of “idealist” people are using in this thread, because it just sounds like a no true Scotsman argument.
It's not that good. Now travel for millions of Americans is becoming more of a hassle. This suits the political agenda of the EU because it wants all of Europe to be a single country run by itself and doesn't care about collateral damage along the way or even revels in it (look how big and powerful we are). But in the end it's still just making travel harder for people, despite all their rhetoric about how freedom of movement is one of their "four pillars".

There is no obligation for countries to always get bigger, or for countries to pretend there's no regional variations. ESTA is a pain and stupid and it gives me a worse impression of the USA every time I have to fill it out. There is no reason why the rest of the world should follow suit.

I see nobody else has said it yet, so I will - I hope that after Brexit the UK can drop this ETIAS nonsense and be more welcoming to Americans, even if they don't drop ESTA in response.

> In European countries the marketing spend is essentially zero for all companies since they are banned from advertising.

Advertising direct to the public is banned in many countries, but not the US - I assume this is what you're referring to. However, pharma companies can and do spend billions on marketing to healthcare professionals within the EU.

> However, from a societal point of view it seems to me that it is much better for society for there to be no marketing of drugs.

Your point about the societal value of drug marketing is complex. In some cases, I totally agree with you that it's not money well spent - selling one beta blocker or statin against five others with broadly comparable data hardly helps the cause of humanity. However, in other cases the marketing/sales actually helps ensure that patients are given the drugs that they need - doctors aren't infallible, and not all doctors are created equally.

> The current system seems to incentivize companies to hold on to patents by making minor, insignificant changes to drugs to maximize profits.

This is actually relatively rare.

> They are incentivized to ignored exotic diseases that have too small of a market share for each individual disease but affect, collectively, a lot of people.

Like it or not, the overall cost of discovering a drug, then testing it all the way through the many phases over many years, is roughly billions. Rare diseases can be ignored because it's simply not sensible business to develop drugs for them. Unless a company can find a way of charging a very high price, or find short cuts to development, or the current system of regulations is eased, this won't change.
My point can be generalized, sure. But you haven't substantiated the idea that most people who try both Java and Haskell/Lisp will prefer Haskell/Lisp. That's precisely why my very general point is applicable - your claim is sufficiently unsupported that I can simply reverse the hypothesis and we have no more or less information than we started with.

If you'd like, I can trade anecdotes instead - I used to work at a company with a large codebase consisting of nontrivial Java, Clojure, Scala and Haskell. Nearly every engineer I spoke to preferred Java (and I had to interact with nearly all the 300 engineers who worked on it).

Now at this point it may seem like I'm being a curmudgeon. But the reason I'm harping on this is because your implicit claim is that Haskell/Lisp are better languages for either productive or aesthetic reasons. But I don't think that's a fair statement - they're different languages, suited to different tasks. You shouldn't draw the conclusion that people who have e.g. moved on to Haskell from Java are representative of most Java developers. It's equally plausible that most Java programmers don't want to move on from Java, and so wouldn't like Haskell if they've tried it. Or perhaps they have tried it and simply didn't jive with it.

> Does TeX semantics have something that MathML does not yet have?

It does not. In fact MathML captures much richer information than TeX.

There shouldn’t be. MathJax internally converts TeX input into an intermediate MathML AST before rendering.
I think the MathML sizing, positioning, and spacing of glyphs is strictly worse in every example at your link, sometimes quite dramatically. In a few cases (like the deeply nested fraction) the LaTeX is also not great.

This would be a fairer comparison if they saved the LaTeX as SVG outlines, or as a higher resolution bitmap. As it is the LaTeX version looks fuzzy on my high DPI display.

What I find interesting (and unappealing) about progressivism is seems like a regression to a more primitive moral framework. Religion had hard-coded concepts of good and evil but modernism, science and technology helped show that moral relativism is a more accurate view of the world. Different cultures value different things and there's no flying monster in the sky laying out a universal moral code.

Starting in the late 2000s it seems as if a new breed of puritanical thought arose in the form of social justice. Progressives have very firmly held ideas around what's "good" and "evil". There's no room for discussion, no room for alternative view points. It seems strange though since it's not backed by religion, where is this universal code coming from? How can a small subset of upper middle class Westerners possibly define what's best for the entire human population?

If there are any progressives here (and I know there are), I'd love to hear how you came about your moral code minus religion and how you think it applies universally as it's a concept I still can't wrap my head around.

> Engineers and physicians will generally employ whatever tool works best as well.

That’s a common myth amongst people who fetishize “science”. Boltzmann committed suicide over the pushback on how outlandish his theory of the atom was. Ignaz Semmelweis was ignored and ridiculed when he pushed for surgeons to wash their hands before operations and finished his life in an asylum.

Engineers and physicians will only employ whatever tool works best as long as it fits their conception of the world and what is socially acceptable at the time.

As far as claiming that democracy is by nature pragmatic, that’s a statement that’s going to need a lot of arguments to support it, in a time where many support eg China’s communist party as an example of “pragmatic” government.
I know but it doesn’t work.

Every single EU member state is a sovereign nation with its own foreign policy, military, standing to sign treaties, seat in the UN General Assembly, international recognition beyond the UN, and a couple of them even have permanent seats in the Security Council. And most, but not all are parties to the Schengan Area, and most, but not all, are members of NATO. The ones that are not landlocked even get to set their own maritime boundaries, whereas past a certain point in the US, the maritime boundaries here are Federal territory. EU member states still maintain formal diplomatic relations among themselves and with other nations, and issue passports and visas. They might have standardized their passports, sure, but they are still issued by the member states.

Hawaii has none of that, it is a US State. Once you’re a US State, you don’t stop being one, ever, and we fought a civil war over this. That clearly isn’t the case with the EU, as demonstrated by Brexit.

In short, the analogy doesn’t work because it isn’t analogous. The EU wants to be treated like the US in some cases and like separate nations in other cases. The US is just the US as far as other nations have to be concerned, and there isn’t a Hawaiian or Californian or Texan passport that other nations can granularly accept or reject, just American ones.

If you want something more analogous to the Japanese hypothetically rejecting Hawaiians, it would be like the US allowing Visa-free entry from all of Germany except people from Brandenburg, or all of Australia except people from Victoria, or all of Japan except people from Okinawa. As far as the 4 EU States without Visa-free access to the US are concerned, they have normal diplomatic channels available to them.

> You’re not getting the point.

Mind that there is also this point: The individual EU-Schengen country doesn't give out visa for their own country. U.S. citizens can only get a Schengen Visa. Thus if the U.S. says "EU Member X requires Visa" country X can't enforce Visa itself the only way X can enforce Visa is by the EU enforcing Visa.

Also the EU is a solidarity agreement - EU member states pledged to stand in for each other at such situations. If EU doesn't uphold it's not fulfilling the promise it gave those countries, when they gave up some souvereignity.
