"Rent-seeking" is not a very descriptive label.

This (like most other flat consumption taxes) is a regressive tax. It is a stated policy goal of the ruling party to reduce income inequality, not increase it.

The disabled are a group with very inflexible transportation demand, in that they are very unlikely to change their behavior in response to higher prices (because they can't); we already make a whole ton of legal accommodations for them like handicapped parking, and this fits into that overall policy.
There already are way too many articles explaining monads on the internet. For some reason, it's many bloggers favorite subject.

But I'll give it a go, I suppose. A functor is a type that represents turning something into something else. For example, for example turning a List<Int> into a List<Double>.

A monad is a functor that also has a bind or flatMap method attached to it. Both essentially allow you flatten or "chain" the values inside. So the monad defines a way to map things (inherited from functors), and flatten things (via bind or flatMap depending on how you want to define it). Also you need applicatives, which is just a way to box things. i.e turning a Int into a List<Int>.

There are also some laws associated with them, but you probably get the idea.

Examples of useful monads: lists, options, futures, database transactions, logging, parsing, etc.

> I've joked that a lot of the nerdy sports like League, Smash, speedcubing, etc. need some crazy Russian coaches.

From everything I've read about South Korean Brood War and League of Legends organizations, this thing already exists in the form of team houses where players practice for 8/10/12 hour days, and the result is that SK is head and shoulders above their competition in both games.

Of course, those games were the most popular of their respective eras in a country that values esports more than any other, and in the case of League of Legends, had massive financial support from the game developers.

You won't see something similar in Smash, where the developer isn't providing that same support and the competitive scene is dominated by grassroots communities in countries that are less gaming-centric than SK.

> There’s no proxy for content quality.

I don't think that's true, it's just that the proxies are imperfect. But the specific alternative metric wasn't that important to my point.

> Engagement in contrast, is simple, reliable and measurable.

That's the root of the problem: the algorithms have been designed to use "simple, reliable, and [easily] measurable" things as their whole input, and then narrowly A/B tested to maximize some other easily measurable output. Looked at holistically, it's too simple to do an acceptable job.

If you took a similar attitude, and applied it to create an algorithm for another discipline, like medicine for instance, it'd be pretty clear it'd be a disaster.
Maybe they will block access at the beginning, but here in Europe we have a huge market and I do not really believe that companies will stay away just because they cannot steal our data. If so, then we will be very happy about it and someone else will get their pie slice..
> Just because someone thinks their company shouldn't engage in a specific project due to ethical concerns, that doesn't mean they're speaking on behalf of the people affected by those ethical violations.

It however presumes that they know enough about the situation to apply those ethical principles to decide what's best for the people affected.

It's hard to find an analogy for this, but consider milk powder. Due past scandals about contaminated milk powder, Chinese parents who can afford it prefer importing milk powder from overseas. Now suppose China bans halal products. Should a milk powder manufacturer who previously exported both halal and non-halal milk powder to China continue to export their non-halal powder, or should they stop exports of both product lines to avoid complying with what they believe to be an ethical violation, knowing full well that Chinese consumers will then be exposed to the hazardous milk powder manufactured domestically?

The alternative to Chinese people getting censored search results from Google isn't getting uncensored search results from Google, it's getting censored search results from Baidu.

>How is gold created out of the collision of stars composed of neutrons?

They are composed predominantly out of neutrons. Some percentage of their composition is still electrons and assorted atomic nuclei, which is a non-trivial amount of matter considering the common range of density they tend to have.

I would imagine all kinds of interesting(strange?) interactions take place when such dense and energetic objects collide.

This might sound like one of those "the people I disagree with are evil" kind of exaggerations, but it is not. This is a real position that is fairly common among Republican thought leaders. For example, Ronald Reagan literally said "Taxes should hurt."

The basic logic is that if filing taxes is too easy, people will not have a good grasp on how much the government is asking of them and will accept tax rates that would irritate them in a system with more direct participation. (On the flip side, this seems to assume that the taxes are being used to create a good enough quality of life that people are generally satisfied and not poor, so if that's happening, it might actually be a more realistic perspective than if people focused on the tax rate more.)
Part of the problem is that Wikipedia is generally pretty darn accurate. Everybody always talks about funny vandalism stories, but generally it's pretty good. The issue of course is that there's parts of it that definitely aren't correct.

This makes it easy to say "Well if it's accurate 99% of the time then it must confirm what I thought!".

The gas tax should be raised since it's a progressive way to penalize those who waste it and damage the environment as well as fund the roads in proportion to the damage they cause to them (since larger vehicles that cause more damage also use more gas)
There is nothing scientific about this method in my opinion. You do not make consistent reproducible experiments, you do not control for anything, you haven't even formed a null hypothesis etc.

imo the early explosion of language complexity is what doomed Scala. There were a lot of failed and semi-failed experiments in the language. They even tried and gave up on structural typing and regressed to some half-assed attempt. Jumped on bandwagons they regretted like xml literals. There was also that research-based scala v2 rewrite. http://dotty.epfl.ch/ -- These kinds of endeavors suck a lot of thought power from the community.

There was functional extremism in Tony Morris and his scalaz pet project, but Scala was already doomed.

Of course, these are all things Rust has seemed to avoid and hopefully continues to avoid.
Also, my understanding is that the body position in rowing -- squat-like at the catch, with arms reaching far forward -- impacts breathing to the point that most (all?) rowers breathe twice per stroke at higher stroke rates, such as race pace.

> So you don't think we should allow Muslim immigration? The Islamic religion has many intolerant precepts, so by your argument we should not be inviting it into our tolerant societies.

Where did I say I didn't want Muslim immigration? I'm totally fine with Muslims. Most Muslims have met are very tolerant because they don't take their religion too seriously, like most Christians.

They pick and choose which bits they want to believe in, ignoring the bits don't jive with modern life and their personal attitudes towards life, sex and other people. Their basic human instincts always beat their religion in the end.

I might think their religion is a batshit crazy comfort blanket just like I do Judaism and Christianity, but that doesn't make them intolerant (in my view). Of course some will use their religion to excuse their intolerance. That;s true of many groups.

In that case I'd rather just not engage with those people.

Your post heavily implies that you equate ISIS with all Muslims though. Or perhaps you are suggesting that all Muslims are intolerant?

Because I sure as shit am not. I can't see why else you you would accuse me of something I never said unless you yourself have made these prejudicial equivalences in your head.

> Is there? I don't see a difference at all, as long as violence is not part of "putting an end to you and your views".

Of course violence is a part of it. How else would you end a group of people and their views? A sternly worded letter?

The violently intolerant are the ones I'm talking about. ISIS, KKK, white supremacists, neo-nazise etc.

I won't engage with these people, but they often leave you no choice. I have no tolerance for them, just like they don't for me.

Agree. The article has several criticisms of ISO/IEC 14977 specifically, which seem quite reasonable to me. The article isn't a criticism of EBNF in general.
In fairness, if you are a worldwide #1 player and drop to, let's just say, some ranking that is so irrelevant that you can't be placed on a new professional team then there are avenues for you that are outside of actual playing at a high level.

Can you explain how a flat fee is fair to someone making minimum wage versus someone making 90k+ per year? A flat fee would be a larger portion of their income which would be decidedly unfair.

There's also that not all vehicles are going to tear up roads in the same way. Why would it be fair for trucks and what not to pay the same flat fee despite causing far more wear and tear on the roads?

Your argument would result in the poor and disabled being priced out of driving on the road.
This is it. Firmware and OEM system configuration in the PC industry is basically garbage, and always has been. OEMs tweak until it boots whatever version of windows will ship on it, rush it out the door, and never touch it again unless some volume customer comes back with a bug report.

Linux needs to come in after the fact and run on whatever garbage happened to ship.

(FWIW: in this case the root cause was a host bridge in the tables which had been granted a truly outrageous memory space despite having no devices in it. It was likely a typo, or some test stuff that got left in.)
A few comments have mentioned different levels or road damage caused by different vehicles, with heavier vehicles causing more damage.

How much does tire pressure matter in that? If two vehicles have the same weight and number of tires taking the load, evenly distributed among the tires, but one of them runs with higher tire pressure, it will have a proportionately smaller contact area, and so a proportionately higher ground pressure.

In general, a tire supporting weight W at pressure P will have a contact area A such that P x A = W.

I'd expect total road damage to depend on both area and pressure. Pressure would determine whether you are going to damage the surface, and area would determine how big an area will damaged.

For causing cracks that lead to potholes, I'm not sure area matters as much as the pressure, so am curious about lighter vehicles with high pressure tires.

My car has a pressure of 32 psi. Back when I was a regular bike commuter [1] my bike had a pressure of 110 psi.

Wikipedia has a nice table of the ground pressure of several things [2]. Some excerpts, in psi:

4 Diedrich D-50 T2 drilling rig
8 Human male
15 M1 Abrams tank
25 1993 Toyota 4Runner
25 Adult horse
30 Passenger car
40 Mountain bike
90 Road racing bike
470 Stiletto heel

A bit of Googling suggests delivery trucks are between 85 and 110 psi for most fleets, and around 110 seems to be normal for big rig trucks, too.

So...trucks being more damaging than cars is quite believable. More interesting is different kinds of passenger cars. Honda's recommended tire pressure for a Civic and a CR-V, e.g., are largely the same range. Does this mean a CR-V is not much more damaging than a Civic?

And where do bikes with high psi fit in? The have the pressure of a delivery truck, but have a much smaller contact area. Is there some minimal area needed before even high pressure damages the road, so bikes are OK? Or is it just that because the areas is smaller it takes longer to cause enough cumulative damage for people in cars to notice?

Your example is not a good one as you are using extremes of local vs next town.

You proposal a complex system, but use simple examples. Assuming you have equally qualified candidates, which you don’t because you can’t afford to wait, how large of an incentive and in what industries? How do you address the “other side of the track” situation? This quickly has all the markings of discrimination.

You disagree that the only considerations for a position should be the ability to do the job? Incentives is the flip side of discrimination.

The poor is just one impacted protected class by your proposal. Working elders also make different choices in living arrangements including location.

You also assume business mobility.

That makes a little more sense. The original quote suggests that a single very large lump of gold was created, not a very large number of separate gold atoms.

This is definitely worth trying, however.

I'm a bit jealous because I had nearly the same idea back when I worked in public radio, but didn't have the time to implement it. Basically it was about having facts and quotes exist as embedded units within articles, all with their own individual records of verification and relationships to all the articles in which they were used. I'm really glad someone is taking a shot at this, even though I have my doubts as to whether journalists will take it seriously.

As a Manhattan resident, I'm paying a LOT of my tax money for the streets. And I barely get to use them, because like the majority of my fellow Manhattanites, I don't own a car.

If the public space were reconfigured to accurately reflect the taxpayer makeup, then you would see a lot less space dedicated to cars and a lot more dedicated to pedestrians, mass transit, and non-automobile transportation options like bicycles and e-scooters.
But when they do, Tesla will be the first and only company to have it! Think about that for a moment. It makes it harder (read: more expensive) for the competition, when Tesla is already making better batteries (per independent analysts) than all of their competition.

Before social media came along, nobody really put much effort or invested into data mining. Yes Google existed but it was more or less serving as an information aggregator only, without the ability to connect the dots and identify individuals.

The rise of all these trends of big data was corresponding to the wave of social media, and these companies are now holding so much public information that grant them an enormous power and opportunity to shape our world.

With great power comes great responsibility. Their current capability potentially allows them to manipulate the world and our information at will, if they choose to do so. It can become extremely dangerous and open for abuse if not kept in check.

Nobody is auditing their data so everything is a just a mystery black box with no transparency. You either choose to believe in what they say, or you don't. The data is irrelevant by itself, it's their intentions that could become dangerous.

Does anyone even trust social media companies? Even their own employees don't let their kids come near it. I wonder what happens on their bring kids to work day?
My first foray into US shares was in a managed funds which saw me lose 25% of my net worth and they still took their 1.5% fee for their service.

I decided I'd rather lose money due to my own decisions and loaded up on AAPL instead which ended up being recouping my losses and then some. I basically limit myself to major tech co's since that's where I see the consolidation of wealth ending up which has proven to be a smart bet so far. As long as I have good convictions about a company I'm happy to invest directly, maybe in retirement when I stop caring enough to follow companies closely I may consider a managed fund with a proven track record to diversify the risk.
