Isn't it sad, because we bought into the coldwar propaganda that this is something extremely valuable? I'm not saying that space exploration isn't worthwhile, I think it is. However, if they were framed as simply very skilled technicians, instead of heroes of a generation, would we feel this bizarre feeling of incongruity about their later lives?
I'm curious if you really think Vim or the terminal can't do any of these things, because it doesn't take long to find replacements for almost all of them(e.g. it's no problem to get image previews with ranger running in Vim). Except the ones that only exist because it's possible and not because it makes sense. Why should I care that a text editor can run a web browser or a music player? Does it bring any additional value except an opportunity for bragging?

Trying to adapt Emacs for me coming from Vim feels like recreating Alpine Linux by modifying an Ubuntu installation: it's pointless, cumbersome and feels insane.

>From my point of view, of course the Russians and other SSSR nations helped win the war and I'm thankful, but again - that excuses nothing.

Well, to me being crucial to not living in a Nazi Europe today, counts for a lot and excuses a lot. And I differentiate between bad actors like Stalin and co and their crimes, and a huge state with domestic (at least at first) and large global popular support.

>Also, yeah, some people today don't value freedom and would like economic subsidies instead.

Or they don't consider slavery to market forces and corporations freedom, and would rather have actual freedom from need with economic subsidies (which even the modern world is considering as UBI).

Edward Snowden is tweeting about "freeedom of information" from Putin's Russia...

Evo Morales incident is a complete different story.

Snowden was (is?) an american citizen, Assange is not.

Anyway, it is laughable to tjhink that European countries are in the pocket of USA, they are allied, alliance means be on the same side, sometimes even when it is wrong.

It doesn't mean that everything they order, other countries will do.

It's laughable to think that.
That's a lot of points, so I'm going to simply hone in on one point which I feel is sort of indicative here:

> If forming a government, and the results of certain variables are unclear, why not try to wholeheartedly clone the most successful example?

I genuinely, honestly believe that of the countries I've highlighted, the people in the US get the rawest deal. It ranks lowest in life expectancy, locks up three times as many people as the next highest on that list, people get the least paid time off, obesity is by far the worst, people still go medically bankrupt(!!!), people are killed by law enforcement at three times the rate of the next highest (Canada), inequality (via Gini coefficient), homicide rate is 4x the nearest neighbor (UK). In short, I think it's hard to build an argument off "copy what the United States did because they're the best".

According to some sources (Bloomberg) South Korea is currently the most innovative country in the world, and having spent significant time there, I wholeheartedly agree.

Despite the mythos surrounding Japan espoused by some ill-informed westerners, while it is a beautiful country, there is no benefit in moving from Korea to Japan. Japan, while it's my current home, is well past its heyday.

This isn't to say it won't return, but the current climate speaks otherwise.

This is a pure fluff piece.
Thank you, Google found the pdf for me :). I am going to read the pdf in detail, but skipping to the conclusion the author only states:

Even so,this article has shown that the clarifications made by the LLGPL to the original GNU license are largely unnecessary, and that the LGPL would probably be interpreted in a similar fashion withoutthe clarifications proposed by the LLGPL.

The useage of the words "largely" and "probably" would make me less confident of the verdict, that the LGPL is enough.

On a different angle: I checked Numpy and it is using a BSD-license. What was your motivation to license your library differently? Is your library derived from Numpy or just implementing the same api? A BSD-style license would make any technical issues - both legal and actual distribution of the product - just go away.

You get far fewer angry letters when the barrier for entry is that the writer has to pay for a stamp and an envelope.

The thing about a letter is, you've got 30-90 minutes while you write it to reconsider what you're writing. And if there's a 50p + an envelope + paper cost to that, maybe you think more carefully about what you're trying to say.

With a 500 character limit and a "quick fire, gotta reply fast" push, most interactions are utter crap.

I think the following kind of sums up its appeal to me:

* Compiled language, sits in a similar kind of language category to Go where it compiles to a native binary but also has a GC, so it sits in that kind of performance ballpark

* But has generics

* A powerful AST based macro system, which gives it a kind of lisp-like meta-programmability. This means you can create DSLs and other tools which compile down to native code.

* Python-like syntax

But yeah, this is like one of the first steps that you really need to do effective development on Android.

You forgot that this is primary energy consumption you two are writing about. 10 kW of primary energy consumption if replaced with solar requires only about a third of that to yield the same results since about two thirds are heat losses when converting fossil fuels to useable energy.

Benefits are inversely proportional to income meaning that a below survivable wage requires people on the verge of not being able to eat to actually step down in pay in order to take the natural progression of an increase in wages.

In order to avoid this you just don't let people pay less than a minimum survivable hourly wage so they can't force the government to subsidize them.

You should always review your notes, possibly more than once (consider spaced repetition). As such there is space to have a system in which you:

* Take notes by hand;

* Review the notes, converting to digital form;

* Review the notes, inserting into a Spaced Repetition system;

* Keep the information fresh via Spaced Repetition.

Notes for learning are not a write-once-read-never system.

You only need a third of that to get the same amount of electricity out of them as by burning 10 kW of fossil fuels. Spread over 20 to 30 years that's suddenly not so much anymore. How much does the US spend on energy each year now? How much to secure the imports?

> This British peculiarity could perhaps be regarded by some people as one nasty failure mode of free-ish speech.

Sure, but the Americans are innovative yo! (cf: Peter Thiel and Gawker)

> how easy do you want it to be for powerful private citizens [...] to silence anyone they don't like for arbitrary reasons

I do not want this, but I feel the press in the UK counter-balance that pretty effectively. Rich people seem to love bringing down other rich people

> how easy do you want it to be for [...] the government to silence anyone they don't like for arbitrary reasons

I feel like Americans hold a uniquely strong distrust of their government. If you're British you just have to suck up the fact that Parliament can pass any bill they like to do whatever the hell they like with a simple majority, but it's been _working ok_ for a few centuries now.
A doubt is legit, but everything he's done and said says a different story in my opinion.

Well, even if "all technologies can be considered applications of other technologies" some are less so than others.

Besides we're not talking about mere products here, but core technologies, e.g. inventions. The steam engine, the combustion engine, electricity, the telephone, laser, microwave, satellites, and so on, weren't mere "applications of other technologies" and even less so a mere incremental bump in the way modern internet vs 60s/70s internet is.

Historically, coal is an industry filled with -to put it lightly- labor disputes due to exploitative conditions [1][2].

Today, the industry in decline by any definition and as companies try to awl out some sort of profit they cut corners which create unsafe conditions. When accidents happen, the company will skirt responsibility to the very end (someone else has a nice link here [3]). The "Last Week Tonight" on coal from a few years ago (start at 8:39[4]) goes through some rather aggressive coal executives who don't want to fairly compensate workers.

Is there a simple introduction, a few few pages that will help me at least identify "systems thinking" when I see it?

Right now I keep hearing that "systems thinking" is a good idea, but I could not tell it apart from regular thinking.

I've seen some definitions that are vague and circular: e.g. "systems thinking deals with thinking about systems" but there must be more to it than use of the word "system"

SVN is often better suited for such files because

a) they can grow quite large and the diffs do not compress well so downloading the entire history is quite expensive. SVN supports only downloading part of the tree and history which is useful

b) SVN supports file locking which can help prevent conflicts between editing the same file which is important because of the next point:

c) These files generally do not have diff and merge tools so branching is generally not useful and so are most of git's advantages over SVN.

That said, I am now generally using git for such files because a) I use git for code anyway and b) gitlab (especially which CI is still useful).
>It's far from obvious to me that you could tell apart the effects of different efforts - especially as you don't know who each voter voted for.

It's not just "apply a bunch of methods at once" -> "check the final election result" as the only feedback.

There are no ambiguities in LGPL.

You are a lawyer? You are a professional Lisp programmer? How does the LGPL deal with Common Lisp macros?

"Franz did LLGPL" is not by itself a good enough reason to suspect there are or to use LLGPL.

As Franz is the most prominent Lisp vendor, employing some of the greatest Lisp programmers and undoubtfully having a good legal department, I see no reason why I shouldn't take their legal opinion seriously. Especially as it is not part of any commercial offerings of theirs, but just provided as a clearer license for Lisp libraries.
It also coincides with everything I heard from my lawyers at the company I work for.
"Safety" from hate speech is difficult to define in statistical terms, because it tends to be nonlinear - everything looks fine until someone goes on a murder spree or starts up the death camps again. The last European genocide was in my lifetime, at Srebrenica (which, incidentally, Spiked Magazine are denialists of)

Americans seem much more comfortable with the idea that both free speech and free gun ownership will get more people routinely killed; like car ownership, it's just part of the price, it seems.

The US seems to hang on the cusp of this, in having racially motivated mass murders only occasionally, that don't quite spill over into mass genocide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:21st-century_attacks_...

Nobody is asking specifically if the majority of users want to specifically install the play store on their phones so answering a question nobody asked in the first place isn't terribly relevant.

The question is if the way Apple controlled the market fell afoul of legal standards in a way that effected makers and users. If this is deemed so it would be true regardless of what percentage of users would install apps from a third party store.
You're suggesting that insurers would provide limited liability without having having a stop-loss mechanism themselves.

My guess is that insurers would look for ways to make their risk assessable and stop the potential losses by insuring you only against assessable risks. They'd insure you against a list of types of events, and nuclear war, force majeure, Nick Leeson and Knight Capital wouldn't be on the list.

The astronauts of the early programs were basically all picked from the military test pilot pool. Which was a natural fit given how everything related to spaceflight was new and experimental and ridiculously risky. They needed people who could stare death in the eye and live to tell the story.

These days astronauts routinely spend months in space, and indeed their selection process and education requirements are rather different—as of course is the whole purpose and character of the manned spaceflight program.

It should be said, though, that Neil was selected as the CDR of the first mission to land exactly because he was not a gung-ho type but instead extremely calm, collected, and not one to make a number of himself. Buzz, on the other hand, was and is a much more hot-blooded personality.

>but because the GC encourages (fails to discourage) a lot of allocations.

Yeah, but allocations in OCaml and Haskell are super cheap, nearly as cheap as on stack. Typical OCaml small allocation is:

* add the number of words you wanna allocate to the heap pointer (%r15 on amd64)

* check if it surpassed the limit

+ if it's fine — just write your data in -8(%r15)

+ if there is no space left — run GC
> The scientific opinion is that is insufficient evidence to either exclude or include it as a cancer cause but most studies show some increase.

No, this is patently false. Out of all expert consortia, only IARC (= WHO) has reached this conclusion, and it was universally criticised for both the way they report risks (which is highly misleading), and the fact that their publication in turn suppressed contradictory results. All other relevant expert consortia state that the evidence does not support the conclusion of glyphosate and/or Roundup being carcinogenic when used correctly, despite the existence of decades worth of data which should show carcinogenicity, if it had an appreciable effect. “Most studies”, especially high-quality ones, show absolutely no effect.

Alternatively: Women are free to choose professions without having to concern themselves about making money.

Evidence:

1. Women make these choices more in richer and more egalitarian societies. Your explanation makes the opposite prediction and is therefore contradicted by the data.

2. Women care a lot more about how much a prospective partner earns.

2a. This is not due to women being "unable" to support a partner because they get paid less: the preference gets stronger the more a woman earns, not weaker.

3. Women care a lot more about predictable work, part-time work and no overtime, all of which depress earnings. (see https://scholar.harvard.edu/bolotnyy/publications/why-do-wom... )
