Wrong, they won't be. See my example above, just wait until everyday merchants only accept this as payment.

>WeChat is not the result of a private endeavor, it is state-sponsored and controlled. It would be way worse for the government to manage Libra than for Facebook to do it. Gov has USD.

Fiat currency is controlled by the Chinese government too. You completely missed the point. The Chinese government does not force businesses in China to only accept WeChat Pay, they choose to do so.

It demonstrates that Quake could well be written in Lisp.
I would be curious if you could find a link for that quote, because Rust has always been of the mind that there is no one correct approach for concurrency, and has good support for channels, threads, work-stealing task pools, etc., all intended to serve different use cases. If there is a line like that somewhere in the RFCs, I would expect it to be in the context of "the design of async/await proposed herein is now known to be the right way to do asynchronous I/O in Rust, given Rust's other design choices and constraints [in contrast to the years of other experiments have been tried, including Go-style green threads]". In particular the long term goal is not to make async/await the end-all be-all, but rather to expose a generalized concept of generators which async/await is then built upon.
We are unable to have a national language, because many people disagree.

> Buddhist thought has historical played a major roles in both cultures

Buddhism was born in India, but never spread across country in any considerable amount, other countries took up on it.
The place where Buddha was born and enlightened is in modern day Bihar, you rarely find any Buddhist there.

India is very diverse, we have 22 official languages (~1000 unofficial), and for many languages writing scripts change, within 100 to 200km dialects and languages keep changing.
Food keeps changing, climate keeps changing. People's behaviour keep changing. Dressing style, music, dance,... keeps changing. Nothing stays the same.

Government have recently released a educational draft, indicating children should be tri-lingual (native language, Hindi, English) and many people straight out opposed it, indicating they don't accept Hindi, as in near future there language may go out of existence.

The main problem is we cannot communicate properly, with each other from other places.

India is in no way similar to China, except for huge population numbers.

Despite being colonized for ~800 years(600 years under Muslim rulers, 200 years under British), culture haven't changed, think how stubborn people are.

We are a mess in it's own way, but we somehow survive and flourish slowly.

A good modern day example would be, Indian election.

Indian media and left tried there best to spread anti-modi movement (~5 years), no media channel have expected modi to win majority in 2019, but it came to be quite opposite.

Even now, all media channels are doing some analysis, how did this happen.

There is an old saying ( loosely translated),
If you are having a discussion with 5 chinese and 5 Indians about a problem. All Chinese come up with one solution, Indians come up with atleast 6 different ideas.

Thank you.
If that is the problem, could it be that regulating that would be a better solution?
Type checking is a very small part of Rust compile cost; most of it is due to the extensive use of monomorphized code (resulting in code bloat which is not always well-controlled, to put it mildly), as well as overhead in the LLVM-dependent part of compilation. Some features in the pipeline for Rust should enable some improvements, particularly const-generics and specialization.
I think you might have meant a quarter trillion.

Cherry picking the sentence to be patronizing doesn't work very well when the context is actually your own example...
>What is the intrinsic advantage to having "local companies" to choose from in a world where every company you'd want to work for also offered remote positions?

The advantage is that on the path in-between now and the perfect future where all companies are remote-first( that we are not sure will ever happen), you will not be at a significant disadvantage when it comes to job prospects. I don't think that many people would be willing to heavily limit their job prospects (not even taking into account all the other advantages that come with living in a densely populated coastal city) while waiting for that "bright all-remote future" that may never come.
I've been waiting to see this for a while, because this is intrinsically about extending the service mesh to end devices. Unfortunately it does seem to be more protobuf / gRPC specific then I would like at the moment, but device connectivity is absolutely something that should be managed as a separate concern from core application development.

Some websites (for example Aliexpress) scan local ports to check whether you are running something like RDP, SSH or VNC server. They try to open websocket connection to those ports and measure how much time it takes to establish (or to be rejected).
Price is where supply meets demand. So prices moving up means either:

1. Demand is increasing faster than supply can keep up

2. Supply is shrinking faster than demand falls

For housing in large cities, it's usually (1) above.

Easy money policies stoke artificial demand by making money cheaper (lower interest rates). That makes speculation in housing easier than it otherwise should be. Don't blame "speculators." They are simply responding to conditions created by central banks and the fiat money system.

A trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon you're talking about real money!
That's really not actually why these laws have been created.

Their intent has always been to protect existing residents.

Not poor or low income, necessarily, in fact for the most part the original idea was to protect the middle class, not so much the poor. Which should be unsurprising if you have any basic concept of who wields political power in cities.

The key distinction is between people who are already there and people who aren't. Your assumption is a very common one but it's a misconception, and the difference is pretty crucial. It's not that hard to figure out: having massive rent increases possible upon vacancy, as well as almost no means testing (only in one special case) are two of the several obvious tells.
It's a water-scarce country that is the seventh largest food importer; much of the population lives in the Nile delta.

The resource constraints are different; you can't have infinite growth in every country.
These aren’t algorithms, they are just hand waving intuition that is “on the right track” but not quite there. You see similar “prior art” to Newtonian physics, for example, but there is still a huge leap from “oh, there might be something in these linkages” to “if we compute the stationary distribution of the Markov chain over the graph, we know the relative importance of each node.” Kleinberg was the first to algorithmically and rigorously codify this intuition.
It’s not a joke. What are you talking about? 56 million years ago (Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, the last time temperatures were six degrees higher? Or, back when earth was a molten rock of lava? That’s completely irrelevant to this discussion. Temperatures haven’t been higher than a degree since the last ice age (see the excellent relevant xkcd: https://www.climatecentral.org/news/climate-change-xkcd-comi...). Rapid anthropogenic global warming does not bode well for human civilization. That doesn’t mean life on earth or humans as a species will be wiped out, but you can’t say “earth was hotter when the dinosaurs were around, so, no problem”

It was! Also, in early 1990s we had food shortages and long lines in stores for basically everything (in Moscow! things were much worse in the regions), which was a direct result of the government controlling the economy for many years through directives and completely ignoring the basic laws of economy.

Sadly, the examples of economies of Soviet Union, and Cuba, and Venezuela, and North Korea etc. are somehow not sufficient enough for people to realize the danger of such control.

It makes more sense when you look at the history: i386 has been around for going on three decades and was originally the only x86 architecture. When the world started to go 64-bit, Intel was pushing Itanium as IA-64 as the top-performance option which could go head to head with high-end 64-bit RISC processors such as Alpha, PA-RISC, PowerPC, SPARC, etc. They attempted to rebrand x86 as IA-32 as a marketing exercise to match IA-64, both to demarcate it as the lesser architecture and to continue making the competing x86 vendors look less legitimate to business customers.

AMD was the first to develop and announce a 64-bit x86 extension back in 1999 and since they shipped the first hardware, the amd64 name distinguished it from Intel's IA-64. When Intel wrote off IA-64 and adopted AMD's extensions the “amd64” name was already used in a number of places.
Honest question - how much (if any) of those laws were made with respect to earthquakes? Perhaps they are from a time when resistant high rises weren't tenable.
Thanks, I hadn't realised that obviously existing landlords might stop renting out a place, which would reduce supply of housing - that could be problematic.

It also mentions that apartments got transformed into condos. This might be a problem with my not being a native speaker, but: if one apartment is turned into multiple condos, isn't it able to house more people? (Though being "new" housing, I suppose they'd then be able to ask higher rents again?)
I just don't use it, and somehow I'm doing just fine.
> We're becoming the country where Homeopathy is GAINING popularity

These kind of moves are band-aids that don't provide a viable long term solution. But sometimes the hospital is really far away and using a band-aid allows you to temporarily protect yourself from excessive blood loss or infection while you wait to get proper medical attention.

> Shows just how out of touch they are with the Western world if they think this message will be well interpreted.

They aren't interested in being aligned with Western values - why would they be? Freedom and democracy run perfectly contrary to their goals. I've had very in depth philosophical debates with Party members.

Democracy - why would we leave the decisions to the people? The people don't know what's best for them, and they make bad decisions that lead to things like Brexit. Democracy is inefficient. FEMA can't adequately respond to disasters like the strong-arm of the Party can.

Freedom of Information - this is too scary for the people. The people shouldn't have to deal with so much confusing information. Look at Fake News and how scary the media is. It creates confusion and mistrust in the government. That isn't good. The people don't want freedom of information.

I unequivocally disagree with these arguments but these are the beliefs of the Party.
In places like Europe where more people live in them, they tend to do a bit better job of privacy, because they're not just 'cheap housing for people without the means to live in a "real" house'.
For starters, lots of them just wouldn't move. When companies move headquarters or other large facilities they usually expect to lose lots of people even if they cover relocation and actively try to hold onto people. (Which may, of course, not be the case if the company actually wants to lay off people.)

None of this is to argue that big tech companies shouldn't be more distributed. They probably should and it's happening to some degree naturally as they grow. But trying to move already employed people wholesale to a new city, especially one that many will see as relatively unattractive, will cost you a significant percentage of your workforce.
That's correct.

Or said another way, if you have strong ties to the city and/or are a longtime resident of the neighborhood you win, if you don't you lose.
How do you fail to see that?

More employees = More buildings, More work, More everything, etc.

It's pretty easy to understand locals' opposition. More people => more congestion. More housing supply => lower property values (at least at first). It doesn't matter if the housing is on what used to be a parking lot it's still more people and housing supply. (You can argue that NIMBYism is selfish and short-sighted but that doesn't mean it's irrational in the economist sense.)

>450,000 Earth years away with current technology

With current tech spread thinly an alpha emitter like Po (2% mass ejected at 5% c) on the backplate and you’ll get 100km/s with 10% payload. Adding an electromagnetic “nozzle” to axially redirect sideway alphas would make it past 200km/s, ie. less then 20k years. Spread thinly enough for the decay leftover - Pb - to be ejected too and you can get to something like 600 km/s, just 6000 years.
When something similar happened to me in the first dotcom crash, my boss at least had the decency to say "screw it, I'm putting it on my company AmEx", and even when he went home, he told the bartender "Keep it open all night, and add a 25% tip" and told us to stay as long as we wanted.

We did.

In addition to what others have said, you have to consider what your competitors might do while you're spinning up. They could capitalize on your downtime.
This is part of the argument from ignorance - the attempt to push a burden of proof when the claim you made was "Unforeseen future circumstances could make people more amenable to any kind of changes imaginable". I didn't say anything about impossibilities, maybe you're confusing me for someone else?
People in rent-control and rent-stabilized apartments are staying in their homes, which is the intended effect of the policy.

The fact that it hurts people who might want to move into the neighborhood, or from a rent-control/rent-stabilized apartment to a different one in the same neighborhood or the same building, is not really a goal that rent control is targeting.

Does it work at housing everyone? No, which is why we say it hurts the macro goal of providing affordable housing for all. Does it work at locking people into the apartments that they have, at prices they can afford, so that they won't be forced to move? Yes. Rent control has never really pretended to be anything else.
Sure, that's related to my final paragraph as well. But I'm not saying that their argument is correct; just that "why do you lock your bathroom door" is not a sufficient rebuttal of it.

I don't think they're going to move that easily. Rent has been going so much it is eating a larger income share than before for many of them too.

So what that leaves you with is disproportionate increase of demand and prices for smaller cheaper units.
I don't even think it is a bug. It was intended to work this way. The real issue is that Boeing flat out LIED and claimed it flew exactly the same as any other 737 so they could avoid having to factor re-training pilots on this plane. It was all caused by greed and people should be going to jail.
