America as such buys too much stuff. The first time I went to America, I was shocked to see how "full" every house was. Just packed to the brim with odd knick knacks that no one uses. The kitchen gadget industry is the perfect example.

Nitpicking here, but many quadriplegics still have some use of their arms. Depending on the level of SCI and completeness they might not be able to use their pinkies or wrists but still use their arms for transfers or picking things up.

There are actually accomplished quadriplegic pool players. They use a bridge and learn a grip that works. Disabled people are extremely adaptable out of necessity.
Under theoretical models of market economics, economic profit is the opposite of providing benefit to society. In perfect competition (which obviously isn’t possible in practice), market prices equal marginal costs (which is great for consumers), and economic profit is zero. Being able to charge more than the marginal cost of your product is a bad thing. It means you are benefitting from things that are bad for society, like imperfect information and barriers to entry.
> Historically governments that primarily paid for services by printing money (as opposed to taxes) have rarely, if ever, done so responsibly.

MMT explains the failure and addresses this directly. In fact, it explains the failure as failure to tax. Specifically, MMT explains that spending isn't constrained by revenue, since spending is fundamentally issuing currency, if you eliminate the elaborate rituals by which fiat money issuers pretend to be using a commodity currency that they don't control. But, issuing currency, ceteris paribus, created inflationary which, MMT explains, can be addressed by taxes.
Sorry, I don't get your point for deployment. There are complaints you can make fot everything, but deploying an elixir application boils down to compile, upload, start.

Sure, 2 days of work the first time, which is a negligible amount of time for any real world project (otherwise you are on the wrong language).
This if you want a good pipeline. Otherwise it's a couple of hours, but even with rails i always invested a couple of days to have a good pipeline.

Doesn't mean rust does not do it better, but it's really not the point for choosing a language over another. In a big project you have a dedicated person. In a medium project, the investment is very small. In a small project, you are better served by prototyping tools (rails)

But can you really build a db system without knowing some theory first (at the very least, key concepts and implementations), and learning from past mistakes and hits, and learning db history and know where and why things might be going?
Funny, we just did the same with our two kids. We called the post office and they encouraged us to make an appointment, which we did. We showed up on time, and waited less than 5 minutes. They walked us through completing the paperwork and had us out in minutes. A couple weeks later (yesterday) the passports arrived.

That's a better job than Comcast or Blue Cross ever did for me.
The conservative position is probably closer to a call to return old ways, it's not that wed to the status quo.

I believe that I know what he means.

Nietzsche compared the ethics of classical cultures (Greece, Rome) with Christianism that he called a slave morality, because in its first times it was adopted mostly by slaves.

The former admired strength, bravery and power. The later, summarized in the Beatitudes, was a subversion of those values. Nietzsche believed that Christianism weakened Rome and more or less caused its downfall in favour of barbarian invaders that had a morality more similar to the people that built the empire.

There are indeed many points in common with current situation. Despite their christian roots, current western nations, specially the USA, are based on capitalism, that values competition, strength, bravery, money, knowledge, power... much like classic Rome.

Then there are a number of social movements that attack powerful elites subverting all those values. Do all these movements necessarily weaken western civilization? I don't think so, but I'd say he has a point.
I have my doubts. Maybe a bootcamp can prep someone to make apps (though I know very little about mobile app development), but at least in my job, I need a pretty in-depth understanding of how technology works. It's not enough to have used Spark a few times but I really need to know what it's good at and what it lacks and I need this understanding across all my tools. I need to know at least the basics of the implementation and to have that understanding across all my tools, I have to have a pretty strong theoretical grounding that I just don't see the bootcamps providing. Like maybe a few really bright people figure that out while in bootcamp, but I suspect most don't.
What does it even mean?

Everything is like this with Safari, the IntersectionObserver was implemented 2 years ago in Firefox, the input color was implemented 5 years ago.

Safari is always lagging far behind, and that's just the list of technology here, it's difficult to list all the nonsense tricks you have to do to make your website specifically work on Safari when it works on just about everything else by default. Personally I spend about the same time on Safari support as IE11 support. Has Apple gave up on Safari?
I never used meth, but I did a lot of weed and adderall at one point which decreased my quality of life by a significant extent. I think my initial outlook on drugs was shaped by everyone telling me how terrible they are, with almost no explanation why (just drugs are bad mmkay). Eventually I tried weed and found that it made me feel amazing, relaxed, and deeply inspired. At that point it felt like I was lied to and that all drugs are perfectly fine as long as you do them responsibly. What I didn't realize is that doing them responsibly is unbelievably hard and it's really just borrowing happiness from the future. I think I might have avoided them altogether if someone had told me "never do drugs because you'll love them so much that nothing else will be nearly as good in comparison. The things you previously enjoyed will become utterly boring unless you're high". I think it was mostly the adderall that caused that. I'm a month into quitting it all cold turkey and I still feel bored with everything. I'm hoping I just need to wait longer to restore my neurotransmitters because otherwise I completely ruined my life.
It's been 5 years the color inputs are supported on Firefox and around 8 years for the datalists.

May be that was early 2016 or mid 2016? The price hike started in somewhere near the the last quarter of 2016. The current price are already back to 2016 average, we expect the price to keep falling as we have yet to see any price floor. At the current rate, with nothing in sight to turn things around, we should see the early 2016 prices this year, and expect to see historic new low in DRAM $/GB within the next 12-14 months.

Excellent theoretical analysis. Unfortunately wrong. It assumes that central planning works with perfect information. This would be true if everybody’s primary motivation was for the common good. Maybe true for most people. Not for those who seek power.
What about instances where cancelling loses all the data that you've been typing in a form? Should it not have a red colour as a form of warning?
While that may be true, I can't but think of the scribes. Mass literacy has destroyed the scribe occupation (think of their children!) but overall it has been a benefit to mankind. I'm thinking the same with computers and programming. Computers and programming have so transformed the world (much like literacy and numeracy) that I have to think the same should be true of computeracy (computer literacy).

And just like there are people who have an affinity for literacy (we call them "writers") and numeracy ("mathematicians" or "accountants" depending upon the math work), I think we're still working through what it means to be computerate.

You need to approach this as an exercise in habit building. Build up a healthy approach to food in steps, not all at once. Saying 'I'm going to eat healthy from today' is unlikely to work.

Saying 'in 6 months I will have developed healthy eating habits' is a much better approach. Then build this habit step by step. First: reduce sugar. Build up a strong habit of refusing sweet things, one type at a time. Refuse donuts - or whatever, but pick one thing that will be hard but not impossible for you to resist. Once that's a habit and you no longer crave donuts, add soda to the list. Then add cake. In this time, you have to be very firm with these habits. In six months once the habits are strong, you can break them sometimes.
Even worse, "Not Now" (and all other options) doesn't even look like a button, so when it is greyed out there's nothing that tells it's even clickable, any more than "Start Your Free Trial" above.
If you're just using it as a place to sleep the window really doesn't matter.

In the early 80s, you could be a 15 year old and make a ton of money making a computer game. This got harder as time went on and computers got more complicated (and expectations rose).
As a “recovering libertarian”, this is accusation is so apt. The ideology fits the behavior being described very closely.

Which is why it is so perplexing that Bay Area progressives strive so hard to protext libertarians.
Your question seems to assume there’s an edge but there doesn’t have to be. Space could be curving in on itself (if you had FTL travel maybe you could make a circuit) or it could be infinite. What I’m not sure about is the distribution of matter in an infinite universe. Is there an edge to the matter or is it infinitely distributed with the universe itself.
Batteries don't generate power so comparing them to power generators is like comparing apples to apple trees.
Probably not. They just go to wherever they are least bothered. Hence the Bay Area and its laxness.

> For example, most states currently charge sales tax on the sales of used cars and there seems to be a thriving market for used cars. Do you believe that raising this rate from 5-10% to 20% would significantly impact the sales of used vehicles?

First, it would be raised by 20%, to 25-30%. Adding a federal sales taxes wouldn't negate the existing state taxes.

Second, vehicles are a special case in the tax code. When you trade in a used vehicle you typically only pay the tax once, on the value of the new vehicle. (Technically, one tax on the trade-in value and another on whatever extra you paid for the new vehicle to make up the difference.) Under your scheme there would be a 20% federal tax on the value of the old vehicle plus another 20% federal tax on the value of the replacement. (Unless you don't intend to apply the sales tax to barter... with the predictable consequence that all significant transactions thereafter will avoid any actual exchange of currency.)

More importantly, used cars tend to be much cheaper than new ones. There's some basis to that joke about losing half the value just driving the car off the lot. Even a 25-30% tax wouldn't make up for that much of a difference in price, though it would make used vehicle trades more expensive and probably put a damper on the market. Do you believe that imposing an extra cost of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars in taxes on any used vehicle sale wouldn't significantly impact the sales of used vehicles? I think people would be more likely to buy their vehicles new, when they can afford it, and hold on to them longer. The ones that would be available used would consequently tend to be older and in worse condition, on average.

> Why do you think sellers would throw the item in the trash rather than reducing the price?

How much do you think they can reduce the price before it isn't worth the trouble? Finding a buyer is not necessarily an effortless process, and given that buyers aren't likely to want to pay more (incl. tax) than they do now the seller will have to lower their pre-tax price by at least 16% to make the sale. I already see perfectly good items sitting out on the curb with a "free" sign in less-than-ideal weather because they'd be too much trouble to sell; reducing the incentive to advertise and locate someone who values the item will only make that more prevalent.

Besides, do you really want individuals collecting and remitting sales tax on behalf of the federal government? Sales of used items are much more likely to be person-to-person. Taxes on the sales of new items tend to be collected by registered businesses, which makes it a more manageable problem.
If all masses were once lower, and had been constantly increasing, then those galaxies are now blue-shifted, and blue shifted is what we have come to think of as normal. But billions of years ago, when they were lighter, they were emitting photons that, to us now, in the present, seem red-shifted. They seem redshifted because they come from the past, when things were lighter.
If you had any idea how much nuclear power you can generate before you've filled a single dumpster with spent fuel...

I'm not sure that's the argument you want to use it as. Dijkstra is surely not arguing that abstraction should not lose information (that would actually not be abstraction at all); he is saying that the important thing about it is that it "finds" the pertinent information (i.e. by throwing away the irrelevant details). He's not redefining the term as something incompatible with its usual meaning, but proposing a perspective, taking the information loss as a given.
I was playing with using timeouts and request animation frame, along with storing certain internal objects in Maps vs Objects.

All I meant was that the time the browser spends on rendering/layout/GC trumps an implementation code consideration. Optimized handwritten JS has the issue before even considering libraries. People attempt to come up with smarter solutions rather than actually just rendering a million rows. Playing with timeouts and asynchronous rendering the view in parts is an approach. Windowing is another, by which I mean setting a viewport essentially(ie only render what's in view). But currently these sit in userland since there are tradeoffs.

I've seen libraries try to offload to WebWorkers but every attempt I've seen so far in that vein is slower than just optimal main thread code. I know the WASM crowd is looking into that.

Also things like Time Slicing in React Fiber are trying to bring this to the library level. And Solid's primitives can be used to similar effect but these approaches aren't generalized yet. It's one of the areas I see Solid's model having an advantage.
Tune in next week to find out why!
the corporate-speak blurb calls that into question, too.

"the permanent magnet machine better solved our cost minimization function.."

Hard to know whether or not to interpret that as "This is cheaper, and thus increases our profit, allowing for further production." or "This is more efficient, appealing to a broader market with larger range numbers and ensuring profit."

> So, as you know, our Model 3 has a permanent magnet machine now. This is because for the specification of the performance and efficiency, the permanent magnet machine better solved our cost minimization function, and it was optimal for the range and performance target.

> Quantitatively, the difference is what drives the future of the machine, and it’s a tradeoff between motor cost, range and battery cost that is determining which technology will be used in the future.”
Thank you. My head hurts. Your explanation helped.
But, now this logic sounds like "I'm so fantastically absent minded, and unable to craft reasonably complex strings, such that I cannot be expected to memorize a trivial data point, according to a mnemonic system that relates a website to what is essentially a house key, so instead, I hired an untrustworthy doorman who just leaves my keys on a hook in the lobby and lets anyone waltz in and key into any front door they like."

Belgian here. Growing up, most of the stuff I watched on TV was either French or English (Belgian TV had little to offer at the time). There were no subtitles. I mamaged to pick up a good deal of French and a great deal of English in this way.

I think watching things in their original language is key. You pick up on things using context, some of which is lost in translation.
