Yup. We could tax extraction rather than fuel purchase. (or only tax fuels that are extracted rather than captured, or tax the latter less, or..)
Money is for engaging in economic transactions? Just because you would use it to better your own life doesn't mean that's its only possible purpose. If you're spending it, surely someone else's life should be improved as well, and you still should be able to justify why you're selecting the improvements you are.

The the whole point of having a minimum wage is to keep the wage level above that threshold, if market forces would otherwise drive it below the minimum.
In that case aside from missing a stage win, it really doesn't hurt the stronger rider at all when the weaker rider defects. Wouldn't call that a prisoner's dilemma.
what would have been the total cost of this whole conversion effort COBOL to JAVA system?

even if it $100 millions, it seems a successful project , given DoD mentioned potential savings of $25 millions/year

>Customer Benefits

> For the DoD, the component has been transformed from an expensive mainframe COBOL legacy system to an affordable, modern maintainable Java-based system. All valuable existing business rules have been preserved in the modernized system, while development, test, and production environments were migrated to AWS providing flexibility at reduced cost.

>The DoD’s projected cost savings is $25 million per year, and they are now able to use popular Java programmers to maintain and enhance the critical component.
Yes, but does it work fast enough?
> I think it's more politically achievable and a lot more optimal than the status quo.

That's not necessarily true, EITC is an existing program. "Increase EITC" requires just as much political will as "Increase the minimum wage".

> One concern I have with ideas like that is the policy could end up just being a subsidy to business owners, since they could turn around and pocket much of their existing labor costs (at least for low-wage workers) by passing that responsibility to the government.

You could apply this argument against any form of welfare. Why should the government provide health insurance? Doing so allows employers to shirk their responsibility to provide health insurance to their workers. At the end of the day, we agree as a society that there's a minimum standard of living that everyone ought to enjoy, and welfare is our way of ensuring that. That there are some professions (like rideshare drivers) in which the pay is too low to maintain a minimum standard of living sounds like a welfare problem.
Maybe in some categories but when I think of Visual Studio for C++, MS didn't really try until a few years ago.
It's not gonna run everywhere, for the same reason WPF doesn't run everywhere. Given that the apps written with this will bind to Windows using C++, and there is no abstraction in between (like Qt), it's not gonna be portable. As far as I understand, it is going to be a reimplementation of React Native where the apps might have a similar style, but the backend will be completely Windows specific. And nothing will stop a developer from using native Windows APIs, so they will.

> The "current" subdirectory adds support for an earlier React Native for Windows10 implemented from scratch in C#. It reimplemented the JS<->Native bridge in C#, and shared the JS with Facebook's implementation of React Native. The ongoing direction of React Native involves a closer interaction between C++ and JS which is hard to achieve with a separate C# implementation.

Given that they say that the "old" version "shared the JS" in past tense, that seems to hint that the "new" version will not share the JS? In that case, what is left of React? It sounds like it will be the same style of API and workflow, but different widgets and no cross-platform compatibility.

Thanks, another friend of mine uses ublock and is happy.
I did exactly this last summer, and have been quite happy with the decision. (context: my dev work is all about elixir/erlang, some python, and some haskell). So far I've had very little trouble with WSL, but its performance is certainly worse than running on windows directly, or on macOs, but for dev purposes it's adequate, and it sounds like that part is about to be solved for me anyway.

My thinking is mainly that while windows is still a little behind MacOS for some things, it's headed in the right direction, and MacOS is heading the other way. The hardware is superior in almost every way to what I was looking at in a MBP (my windows machine is a SB2), only complaints are about the location of the headphone jack, and the fact that the rubber "feet" on the bottom of the laptop have come unglued, which does kinda suck.

Dear families,
As you know, we document your child's attendance each day. If your child arrives late to school

Completion:

Dear families,
As you know, we document your child's attendance each day. If your child arrives late to school, for example, your parent may request you to keep an eye on their child in the hallways. They may send your child an e-mail letting you know that your child is late to school, but that the child's parents have the right to determine when school will resume.

If your child is late to school for some reason (e.g., because of an illness, accident, or disability), or if he or she doesn't seem too happy or energetic in school, your parent may send you an e-mail asking you to stay or help with their child at least that day. Parents who make this request may not make one about their children.

If your child has been at school while your parent(s) have not been; if your child is acting up or in trouble while you were out of the house; if your child is crying in the hallways of school; or if your child is missing from the hallways of school, contact your Child Protective Services if they haven't been there during your child
What about Premiere?
There's nothing else in Rust that requires me to use an editor for a semantic cue, is there? Why start here? You are correct of course, it's more a question of Rust being just as useable right now with or without syntax coloring, this small change breaks a lot.
It's a bit more complicated, actually:

Theia is being developed by TypeFox, Ericsson, RedHat, ARM and more.
Orion is being developed by IBM and more.

Both Theia and Orion are projects under the umbrella of the Eclipse Foundation:
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ecd.theia
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ecd.orion

The Eclipse Foundation (in the very most cases) does not develop software. They also usually do not pay developers. Their role it to arrange that companies and contributors play fair and nice when creating and using open source software.
It is worth noting that the key to this is that the language is designed so that even the synchronous appearing APIs for things like file IO actually use the non-blocking system calls under the hood, so that the OS thread does not get blocked, and other goroutines can be scheduled.

When calling into C code, there is additional overhead of potentially creating a new OS thread to continue running goroutines on, since go has absolutely no idea if the C code will block, but since the average C library does use blocking IO, it needs to either assume the worse, or alternative have an OS thread dedicated to monitoring for kernel level blocking, and spawning new goroutinine runing threads. (I believe the assume C calls may block approach is used.) It has heuristics to avoid creating a new OS thread every time, but in any case, if you have many goroutines calling a blocking C function call, it means you have many blocked OS threads too.
What visualization library are you using in Python?

> That planet is in whats called a 'glacial age' on the historic time table of the earth.

The planet has been in an ice age the entire time humans have existed on it.

It's probably good for humans for this to continue.

> Yeah, we are rapidly depleting the ice caps (So what?)

The ice caps reduce the degree to which incoming solar energy heats the earth; depleting them accelerates the warming due to greenhouse gas increases. While sufficient warming will reduce the rate of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions by killing lots of people, that's not only a suboptimal method of arresting warming if it would work, it doesn't necessarily work to stop warming—you actually need to reduce, not merely stop increasing, greenhouse gas levels to do that. Now, there are some natural processes that do provide some negative feedback, but it's not clear what their limits are even without new human emissions. And we have a dramatic demonstration in the planet whose orbit is nearest to ours of what a runaway greenhouse effect does to a planet that at one point had a climate that would be tolerable.

Worked fine for Microsoft, customers do just as well as QA!
I see many for and against points towards Microsoft. I don't pay attention to Satya comments but I feel the same can be said for those as well. More importantly, why do you believe the opinion of the dev community towards Microsoft should be swayed one way or another?

If they do a good job at supporting development on all platforms, and their intentions are clear and any intrusive additions can be spotted and built out effectively, why should they not be commended for it?
Programming by demonstration is a great forgotten technique for allowing end users to automate their common tasks and reduce repetition.

Well, producing solar panels and such also requires energy input, and these do have limited lifetime. What is the real full-cycle energy conversion ratio is?

Secondly... continuous distillation doesn't necessarily require lots of energy, since a lot of it could be recycled with counterflow heat exchangers and heat pumps instead of plain heaters (i.e. hot output and hot waste are used to heat up input to close to the proper fraction boiling temp, and the output and waste are only slightly warmer than the input mix). It still needs energy input to deal with losses and entropy reduction from mix to separate fractions, but this is also true about using any sort of membrane-based separation.

Translation: "Linux is eating our lunch. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."

Linux has already thoroughly trounced Windows in mobile (Android). It's done so in the web space. MS still has a strong foothold in enterprise, but it doesn't take a genius to see Linux continuing to expand on at least the backend in enterprise as well.

With more apps being delivered over the web, and web browsers being cross-platform, the desktop choice becomes less OS-centric for rote workers.

I can see this as Microsoft looking into a future where they lose relevance because of ChromeOS eating up the low end and MacOS eating up the high end, and they're left with institutional traction. Which they can coast on for many years, but not forever.

I fed it "The true destiny for humanity is"

Out:

> The true destiny for humanity is to be the species it wants to become," says William James, director of the Center on the Ethics and Future of Work at Harvard University.

> While not explicitly suggesting humans would be replaced by machines, James predicts that as more and more people, businesses and governments work more closely with them — and machines can learn and adapt — they will be less constrained in their creative output and more willing to work within certain limitations, as long as it's done with a basic understanding and trust in that person.

> While humans seem uniquely suited to take part in the future, we are likely to take a more hands-on approach, including helping others create work with computers.

> "We are already seeing a lot of companies taking that step and saying, 'No we're not going to have human resources, they've got enough human resources already. It may work out differently with robots or with artificial intelligence, but there will be plenty of work done by humans still,'" says James. "But there are a lot of questions that we can't really

The mistakes that people make are not subjective. They can detect when they make a mistake, and must do so to correct it. When people make mistakes by using a syntactic construct, that's something can be measured, and people do measure it, which is one of the ways they develop syntax preferences. The problem is that we don't ever measure it in an unbiased and representative manner.

>If the bank is hiding the risks, that's another issue - I agree.

I think the point is that this creates a lot of incentive for the bank to hide the risks that they wouldn't otherwise have. Perhaps more importantly, it doesn't incentive them to prioritize things that might help them measure the risk better, so those sorts of improvements never get made and it just deteriorates over time.
I mean this is purely semantics at this point, but I would certainly argue that deliberate and intentional actions can be mistakes.
The loan originator has a different risk calculation when their ultimate intent is to offload 90% of the loan(s). Some might say it would be in their own financial interest to minimize the amount of due diligence involved in determining whether to give such loans. Plausible deniability.

From a buyer's perspective, they receive the due diligence that the originator provided. There are various risk models put in place with that information, but they are also "insured".

These are the same fundamentals that led to the 2008 crisis. Giving loans to people who weren't actually qualified. Miscalculating the risk, intentionally or not. Buyers ok with the risk, assuming the insurance would come through in the worst case.

If there is an event, or a series of events, that cause these loan takes to become insolvent, say losing jobs with no hope of getting a new one (truck drivers being replaced with self-driving trucks?), that would cause large amount of loan defaults...

In the US, gas taxes are low (I think I pay 15 cents per gallon tax on a total of $2.50 per gallon).

Taxes are low as here in the US (a) many people hate taxes and (b) with such a low population density, commerce is very reliant on road vehicles. So raising taxes has an outsized impact on commerce.
This won't be a limiting factor. It won't be stagnant air, and the diffusion rate for gases is high.
The latest features I see in Windows Update seem to give the user total control. Am I mistaken? Maybe it's because I'm running a more expensive SKU? I can defer updates for 7 days, get extra notifications for reboots further in advance, and put myself in a channel that sees very few updates.

The U.S. and Europe can't actually do much about this though. Look at this chart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions_by_th...

If everyone in the US and Europe dropped dead, that would be about a 24% decrease in global GHG emissions. Said emissions need to be 40% to 70% lower by 2050, according to the IPCC (https://www.climatecentral.org/news/major-greenhouse-gas-red...).

Bottom line, you're not getting anywhere without a truly formidable effort by China, and likely Central/South America and Africa as well.
> In a single stage race, the win is mostly the only thing that matters.

You're right that this happens mostly in stage races, but it definitely happens in single-stage races too! If a rider is trying to get a category upgrade—say to Cat 1—they might make this offer knowing that it will help them get over the threshold even if they don't get first. Especially if they know they need these points in the next few races, they might make this deal rather than take the risk of not getting enough to qualify.
You could take the perspective that the purpose of an elite school is to give the wealthy elite access to a well developed pool of very smart people, so when they make big financial decisions they can consult someone clever and trustworthy about them.
