I've seen this trope around for a while now, that is, people who insist that it's somehow incorrect to say, "I don't believe in global warming" or "I don't believe in evolution." I used to find this bizarre, as it seems straightforward for a climate denier or creationist to say such things.

I think what people who get rankled by this have in mind is a certain, pluralistic connotation of "believe." Often when someone says, "I believe in Christianity," it's implied that atheists or people of other faiths are not unreasonable to believe differently. (Something similar could be said about political or ethical beliefs. It's difficult to spell out the sense in which you can view someone who disagrees with you as reasonable, but I think you know what I mean.) So people who think "belief" is not applicable to global warming or evolution are trying to deny that we should be pluralistic about these matters.

I still think this is a somewhat obtuse equivocation on the word "belief," but I think I understand the intuition beneath it.
The trip you mention is 200-250miles, depending on route. Thats about $2 a mile, is that considered cheap when last mile is still an issue?

Asking seriously, I have no concept of rail pricing.
>A journalist giving someone else a document that explain how a particular brand of safe can be cracked is not illegal. Handing someone knowledge is not illegal.

Terrible analogy. Assange obtained the actual NTLM hash from Manning of the user they were trying to crack the password of and attempted to crack it with the full knowledge that it was a top secret US military login. He wasn't sending her generic knowledge on how to crack NTLM passwords.

>Actually cracking the safe is illegal.

Attempting to crack a safe that you don't have authorization to, with the intent of stealing things from it is also illegal even if you failed to crack it.

Just like going around the neighborhood trying the doors of homes or pulling handles of cars is illegal.

I agree, the goal is definitely equality and I hope that one day it's archived but unfortunately I don't think it'll happen too soon when there isn't much focus on legal and non-legal issues that affect men.
What a way to end a thread! Not fair, I was looking forward to more naive Han Jingoism!
The law is extremely clear: you have to prove intent not just infer it from a vaguely worded chat message that reads the other way. I guess we will see how your predictions about a public trial hold out.

Most of your skepticism of inter-EU wealth transfers applies equally to intra-EU wealth transfers from metropolitan to rural areas.

I live in one of the wealthiest NUTS3[1] regions in the EU. Why should I be paying higher taxes to send someone's kid living in the boonies in my country to school? Let's just form a city-state instead. We even have a handy historical defensive wall we could resurrect for that purpose.

Of course most people would think that's absurd, but it's worth mentioning since this notion that you should subsidize your "countrymen" was once just as novel as the idea that the Dutch should subsidize the Greeks is to some today.

You're only taking this for granted for nation states because you grew up in the era of nation states. There's no intrinsic reason for why someone born in the EU area in 2100 wouldn't find the idea that you shouldn't engage in wealth transfers within that area as quaint as the idea that we should being going back to city-states is today.

I think if anything what the WTO, NAFTA, EU etc. show is that in the future the idea that you need to sign up for some "package deal" of a nation state for everything from tariffs to defense will be viewed as too monolithic.

China has no interest to become global only regional. Only white people (aka colonists) think that China will take over the world.

The Tibet and uigher issue is non relevant since they can be integrated into Han society. The uigher one is a bit more complex since they are Muslim, but that is more cultural than racial. The Chinese have no interest in integrating black or white people into Chinese society.

In terms of spheres of influence the Chinese rarely moralize and really just leave you alone if you can do business with them.
It's not fair characterize a whole community by the actions of individuals; it's just throwing around more mud.

Aside from the root comment, there is no evidence here to support the broad strokes you're making.
Great presentation! I didn't know about izip or ChainMap.
The problem is that the declarative model doesn’t fit, so in Terraform for example they’ve added branching and for loops even, so you’re making a language at that point. But rather than keeping the logic and the data structure separate, they’re mixed up with each other. This is a solved problem in many languages, Java especially.

I think a valid question would be what is the right framework factoring or design should be, but pure declarative isn’t not and half declarative like Terraform are just repeating past mistakes.

Implement/use non-strict mode to allow those and both of the issues for readability are gone. Perl JSON modules have this mode, making json files for simple config just fine. If you already using JSON in your program, theres no need to add more dependencies for other config file format.
I came here looking for other lovers of Lua.

Configuration is in Lua's roots. It is specifically designed for use as a self-documenting configuration language.

I think the issue is that people just don't know how to use Lua to load config files. ;) But the fact is, there are few other better options than to include the Lua VM and then put all configuration management in .lua files on the target system.

Europe needs competition on the rail networks, just like air traffic. This will happen over time. In places like Spain it will start this year or next one.

In Spain and other European countries, there was a State monopoly on rail. Extremely bad for the customer. No company could offer cheaper prices or be smarter. It is a bureaucracy used for political parties to place their(mostly incompetent) family members and friends.

I'd say if you're crossing over 50 lines, it's going to suck no matter what format you're in. Other solutions are not really going to fare any better than JSON at that level.
Well, ok, but why?

Judging from the linked URL, duckduckgo + the main linked sites content it does not (at all) seem to be appropriate.
Two explanations for that.

1) is life expectancy. Suppose the average life expectancy is 40, and every two people have two children at age 20. Population would be stable. However, suppose nothing changes about fertility rates or replacement rates, but the life expectancy grows to say 60. You'll find that the population for some time will grow, merely because inflow (births) don't change, but outflow (deaths) are lower as they are delayed.

As such, population growth can occur despite a below-replacement rate fertility without any immigration.

2) Immigrants tend to be more fertile. Welcoming immigrants and then chalking up the subsequent population growth from their high-birth rate as being an example of the country having sufficiently high birth rates for population growth without immigration is faulty reasoning. Births in the US would've been a lot lower if it admitted no immigrants, particularly hispanic.

Fact is total fertility rates in the US are around 1.7 children per woman now, and are even lower for people who's families have been in the US for multiple generations (non-recent immigrants). US would be declining in population size this century if it wasn't for migration, ceteris paribus.

Similar story all over Europe. Just look at fertility rates of native-born populations and the necessary replacement rate, the former is typically below the latter. [0] Most OECD countries would be shrinking without immigration.

I might be one of those people that doesn't completely grok IaC yet. I understand the necessity of configuration tools such as Ansible, I wouldn't live without it, but in the case of my company (~15 apps, 20 servers) I still don't understand the use case of orchestration tools such as Terraform.

All our servers configuration is managed through Ansible, apps are containerised and run on Kubernetes (on CoreOS, so even less configuration required), apps are deployed automatically with CI scripts.

Why would I need to describe the hardware/infrastructure as code? I create VPSes manually, once in a blue moon, and they just get added to our K8S cluster, using the same Ansible template. It takes 2 minutes from VPS creation to adding the new node to the cluster. It'd be nice to describe in code the exact hardware provisioning, but that can be done easily with a couple lines in the internal documentation. And actually, having heterogenous server sizes might be a feature, to be able to schedule less demanding apps on less powerful and cheaper servers.

What benefit would Terraform give me? Not being snarky, I just don't know how to fit it in our process.
I'm not sure... I've spent six years with C# and I still love the heck out of the language. I keep learning new things about it, too! Most recently, stackalloc and unsafe blocks. I've burned out on other, less comfortable languages though.

That’s because a 15 year old petrol car (Euro 4) is almost always better than even a 3 year old diesel car (Euro 6):

https://mobile.twitter.com/apbandiv/status/10062388729660661...

And 15 year old diesels are terrible. Banning dieselgate-era diesels is overwhelmingly the most important policy. Only RDE (Real Driving Emissions) diesels are ok, and under EU rules RDE has only come in during the last year or two, and even now is quite lax.

Diesels will only be fully required to fully meet the pollution standards under real world driving conditions within a year or two, and only then will be roughly equivalent to petrols built from 2004 onwards.
No, politicians abusing economists have failed the system. In each case a politician wants to accomplish x, they find an economist wanting to sell their soul by saying: x might be possible if y and z are held constant; but y and z are impossible to hold constant. Look no further than any administrations options:

1. Minimum wage, all economic 101 will tell you it does not work, yet, there is Krugman (who published a textbook stating it does not work) saying minimum wage can be raised with only a slight impact on the market.

2. Trade tariffs: they hurt downstream utilization, the aluminum prices increase has impacted the vehicle manufacturers in the US. Yet here we have the current administration saying: oh, it will work.

3. Rent control: it does nothing but gut the markets of rentable space, drives the landlords out of the market, and reduces available affordable housing. Yet, here is Oregon finding economists who say: maybe... it might work.

4. Cash for clunkers: it was a pull forward of purchases, any economist would shave told us that. In the end it just sucker punched the poor for seven years as all these used vehicles were removed from the market. Larry Summers selling this boondoggle never made sense.

What this shows is that the term economist is open ended with enough non science items being bantered about that cause these disasters in economics. Then when you call them out on their recommendations, they say it was not implemented with y and z implemented.

Phht, bad money management. When loan sharks are peddling 450% payday loans people are being taken advantage of by corporations. The government needs to practice better money management, not us private citizens. Close tax loopholes.
Also, if someone 15 floors below or above you is using a jackhammer, your day is screwed. Or, if there's a child who is bouncing a ball against the wall in some appartment. The noises travel pretty well across the structure, that's why I prefer to live in a building which has as few units within a single structure as possible. Mine curently has 25, which is livable, previous one was over a hundred and was much worse in this regard.

> Why should a state be allowed to reduce the federal government's take

Because a state can often do a more effective job of using the money than the federal government.

> and therefore shift the burden of paying for federal services to other states

If you look at the states with high enough income taxes for this to all be relevant, they tend to be "donor" states that pay a lot more to the federal government than they get back.

It might be a good idea to even that all out, but eliminating the local and state tax deduction doesn't help.

Trains compete with planes, cars and bus lines. It seems likely that if it turns out to be necessary to be competitive, they'll reintroduce the cheaper trains.

Here in Germany, cheaper trains seem to be available for many times I happened to check (IC vs ICE).

I am also happy about the reduction of my travel time, although the costs may have been too large (years and years of building new tracks and tunnels).
The interesting thing is that from the article, it seems to me like the only data these searches are using is location history, so if that one is off, you should be unaffected.

I think that actually there are megacorporations in SF (or within commuting distance in the Valley), and they are the reasons people want to live here. I see no less than 6 historic churches out of my window in a historic city in Poland, and yet rent is $300 a month and no one wants to move here. Why? No megacorporations.

It's not the corporations, but the current mortgage system. Corp workers with 100-200k pay pair up and put their entire life earnings (30 years) towards a house. Banks back this deal and the couple gets a house they can't really afford. Same with our education system and healthcare. If the gov made a law that mortgage can't exceed 1 year income, prices would adjust to that number.

Comments are a code smell when they describe things that should be described in code.

Comments are important when they express things that code cannot.

Json is the worst except for all the other options. It seems too late now but json with comment blocks and a schema notation would be ideal.

I say too late because there's no migrating the world's json parsers at this point. We could decide to all agree on a schema and comment format that uses the existing syntax with "#comment" and "#schema" fields but there doesn't seem to be a defacto standard.
Is this a totally reasonable thing to say, though, comparing us to rats in this situation? Rats have no concept of extinction or death, humans do. To me, that means a lot.

Not to mention, rat society doesn't change much whether it's ten rats or a hundred. Human culture becomes very different as people aggregate together, so whose to say that the very same social conditions triggered by increasing population will not themselves be changed by decreasing population?

My guess would be that the studios view the agents more as talent aggregators[1] and are probably very difficult to deal with unless one has one. Similar to how in tech as a contractor you can't deal with many companies without going through a contracting firm. (i.e. larger companies often won't deal with independent contractors directly) In both cases, the talent is viewed as a commodity and the middlemen both deal with some of the 'people' headaches and decrease the individual negotiating power of the talent unless/until they manage to break out as a singular talent. So in many ways, agents these days appear to really be contracting firms with (historically) a bit more transparency as to what their cut is.

[1] Note that the 'packaging deals' referenced in the article seems to confirm this notion.
