Having lived in Germany and visited the Netherlands on a number of occasions, I can assure you that opioids, LSD, MDMA are not remotely legal in those areas. They have slightly different take on those drugs, but they are definitely out of bounds.

Opioids have legit medical use obviously, and they are legal for those, and even then we have to be very careful.

> I downvoted it because the comment has no substance besides "EU bad". It adds nothing of value to the discussion.

A pretty unfair characterization. I found value in of itself, even if that value was merely "this opinion exists"

> Explain why the EU is an "oversized bureaucracy".

In order to explain why you must define how big a bureaucracy must be in order to be considered oversized. Unless two parties can agree on some ground level items, you can't hope to have a productive conversation in good faith.

I am assuming you are at least starting from the position that the EU is indeed a bureaucracy? If not, then allow me to at least explain why I believe it to be so: the EU is very formal and rigid in it's mode of action. It loves process, and it loves sticking to it. It's full of, ironically, idealistic technocrats.

It is, in theory, "oversized" because of the mere principle that bureaucratic processes can have sweeping changes that affect every member. (as an aside: often times without those members having been able to sufficiently voice their opinion, concerns, or have proper representation, thus also making it undemocratic in my opinion. Representation is democratically elected, but it is unbalanced, and all votes don't have equal influence)

Many political thinkers believe the EU should have never expanded beyond Western and Northern Europe, because, among numerous other reasons, the economies and cultures were too different. Indeed, the members that typically have the most grievances with the EU body are those neglected eastern European states, or those of the Mediterranean, namely Greece. In fact one could argue the Euro in of itself brought many of Greece's financial problems onto itself, much less the unfair-to-Greece trade mandates of the EU, but that's a story for another day.

All of this to say, there is plenty of reasoning to argue either way that the EU is "too big" or "just right", but ultimately you have to define what "too big" is, and agree on what you believe the function of governments should be.

Many people who cannot afford a $400 due now emergency can afford $33 billed monthly for a year, even though it is very nearly the same total.

While it's nice to read a negative review of a Fijian trip for a change, I wish you'd made it more obvious that your experience was limited to the most boilerplate tourist resort island (Denarau) and one other aussie-owned resort.

It's a bit like going to Disneyland and complaining about the manufactured happiness there.

There are 300 other islands in Fiji off the extremely well-beaten path you walked where your experience could have been very different. Or you could have just visited a village that isn't part of any pre-packaged travel tour to find that in fact most rural Fijians will be extremely welcoming, hospitable, and amazing with kids without any expectation of payment.
I think they means the graphine as the conducting wires. Someone probably told them wires/bands 1-atom thick connecting parts = smaller chips = faster chips. Id also be interested in what happens in terms of heat. Such small structures conducting electricity Would graphine parts on a chip get hot enough to combust?
I think you missed the point of my example. I was suggesting that an experiment performed on the sun showing a 95% CI of the brightness being 400-1200 lumens should result in a reasonable person believing that the probability of the Sun's brightness falling in that range is approximately zero, while the same result for a 60W light-bulb should result in a reasonable person being more than 95% certain that the bulb's brightness falls in that range.

Just like a large number of people misinterpret a P value of .01 to mean a 1% chance of the results being due to chance[1], CIs can be similarly misinterpreted.

1: A .01 P value actually means that if the null hypothesis is true, then you would get the result 1% of the time. The analogy to my above example would be that if I run an experiment and get a result that "the sun is less bright than a 60W light-bulb" with a P value of .01, it's almost certainly not true that the sun is less bright than the light-bulb, since the prior probability of the sun being less bright than a 60W light bulb is many orders of magnitude smaller than 1%.

Eh, it’s the classic amortized approach. Whoever you ca “touch” the data and you’re right there already due to a lookup, it makes sense to amortize your data structure housekeeping IMO.

TBH, the right answer is always due to the users use case (Amortization and housekeeping really help with purely functional data structures), and benchmark data.
Here's a way to think about your fears that may help (easier to say than do, so if it doesn't work for you don't be discouraged).

If there were a fire in the corner of the room you'd rush towards it and smother it. You wouldn't wait. If there were a big fire you'd get out (bcause you can't even see the whole problem), get help, and figure out what to do.

Yet somehow we all (me included!!!) don't use the "obvious" (almost automatic) approaches with more abstract fears. The big fears are the worst, as we're often afraid to ask for help and are overwhelmed by the risk.

It has worked for me to think of them as literal fires, which eventually led me to convince myself that the sooner I deal with them the sooner they'll stop bothering me. I literally think of a problem with an employee as a fire burning in the corner of the room, which if not addressed will spread. Nobody wants to deal with a fire any more than an uncomfortable conversation (maybe the latter even less) but the visualization seems to work.

I am sure this doesn't work for everyone but I was given this advice years ago and was able to "trick" myself into dealing with many scary things.
As a former nanotube research grad student, I have to wholeheartedly agreee though.
HTML doesn't require a closing slash, but without it needs to be context-aware and maintain a whitelist of tags that are self closing (one effect of this is that custom elements can never be self closing).

It's not really surprising that a developer would gravitate towards an encoding that is not dependent on maintaining a whitelist of tags, because that is the solution that intuitively feels more "correct".
Not when your employer is paying. And your employer will usually be happy to pay, as from their point of view buying things off the shelf is cheaper than having their devs build it from scratch.
Same. I _recently_ checked out Texture again, having tried Next Issue years ago, and I was shocked that the UX seemed to be exactly the same. No movement in years! Still takes ages to download a magazine, still incredibly clunky to navigate. The whole thing feels years behind everything else.

Hello fellow Doom Nightmare player. I think Stadia is not for folks like us who have tasted the fill experience on high end rigs.

It will instead, expand the audience to a lot of casuals who just want a little demon-slaying power-fantasy on a low difficulty. Nothing wrong with that, and it is a damn big addressable audience. Just like how mobile didn't "kill" any other platform, it just added a whole lot of candy crushers.

>> "Although Smalltalk-80 is not meant to be used by children..."

> spin

So when the people involved directly und unambiguously contradict your opinion, for which you have presented zero evidence, they are lying.

When I looked at Smalltalk in 1975, I was looking at something great, but I did not see an enduser language, I did not see a solution to the original goal of a "reading" and "writing" computer medium for children.

That's Alan in Early History.

> 'children' mentioned 35 times

That's an odd metric at best, but let's play. First mention of "children" after the introduction:

A month later, I finally visited Seymour Papert, Wally Feurzig, Cynthia Solomon and some of the other original researchers who had built LOGO and were using it with children in the Lexington schools. Here were children doing real programming with a specially designed language and environment.

Hmm..LOGO. What's LOGO?

Logo is a multi-paradigm adaptation and dialect of Lisp, [..] The goal was to create a mathematical land where children could play with words and sentences

Oh, and LISP is mentioned 29 times. Having read this document many times, as well as the History papers and listened to talks etc., I have yet to find any evidence that anything was done to "dumb down" Smalltalk in order to make it work for children. Quite the contrary:

One of the basic insights I had gotten from Seymour was that you didn't have to do a lot to make a computer an "object for thought" for children, but what you did had to be done well and be able to apply deeply.

This incident and others like it made paramount that any tool for children should have great thinking patterns and deep beauty "built-in."

Shortly after that:

As I mentioned previously, it was annoying that the surface beauty of LISP was marred by some of its key parts having to be introduced as "special forms" rather than as its supposed universal building block of functions. The actual beauty of LISP came more from the promise of its metastructures than its actual model.

By this time [Smalltalk-80] I was both happy about the cleanliness and elegance of the Smalltalk conception as realized by Dan and the others, and sad that it was farther away than ever from the children

I guess I’m getting old, but not quite old enough to understand wtf is wrong with people that still vote republican.

None of the right wingers I grew up with in fly-over country have voted republican in a long, long time.

Granted, there’s sample bias (only counting the ones I am in touch with), but that still means I can count the number of intelligent republicans I know on one finger, and that one person is an oddball to put it politely. This is down from the ratio being close to 50% of the educated peole I knew a few decades ago.

I guess this is a long-winded way of saying that republicans that are actually fiscally conservative, for small government, pro civil liberties, or simply like the constitution have been thoroughly disenfranchised by the GOP.

The ones that are left are what, Neo-Nazis? (Honest question; I have no idea any more... I mean, the party stands for unfettered police power, and Trump is openly racist, so what other draw is there? Who else is left?)

Anyway, since we don’t have a fiscally conservative party in the US any more, Obama was the closest to being a conservative choice. It’s not surprising to me that he was endorsed by traditionally right leaning publications.

"so much money here"

I kinda wonder about that. Both the "semi legit" and "full on spam" calls I get just aren't credible. It's hard to imagine anyone falling for it. Or, I'll press "1" to hear their BS pitch, and go on hold forever.

It's so cheap to do, that I suspect there's an endless queue of people trying to make money, but failing. But "failing" costs them almost nothing.

So, maybe raising the cost of doing it will kill off the amateurs.

> see self driving cars run into solid and stationary objects, but human drivers do that all the time too.

Human drivers who are distracted do that all the time, AP is supposed to avoid that, it is supposed to be alert all the time, but when it sees a stationary object, the result of their algo is, "it must be a sign we can somehow go through"

We need to make it very clear that self driving cars are better than driving drunk, or when you haven't slept in 24+ hours, but if you are a driver who pays attention, don't use this tech.

And it is not that I don't want the tech to take over the world, I wish I could just put my kids in a self driving car and have the car take them to the school that is 4 miles from home, but we are nowhere close to that, even with me in the driver seat, if I only have seconds to take over before I end up on a ditch or worse.
