Did the authors not consider the common causal variable?

Many industries become more capital intensive as they grow, and higher capital thresholds for effective market entry make market entry harder. Additionally, as industries grow, the scale of their externalities grows, requiring regulation.

The aggregation of capital in public capital markets supports this (Value of equities up, # of market participants down).

The fact that the legislature has been gridlocked for years also doesn't support the hypothesis that regulatory action is the causal root of the lack of competition in the 2000s.

How does driving as a quadriplegic work? What are tools and modifications that make it possible?
The cruise control on our Subaru seems to behave like you’d expect here. If someone cuts in front of you going roughly the same speed, it backs off a bit to open up some space, but doesn’t slam on the brakes because someone is close.
I may not know modern C++ well enough, but I would think that, if you go through a translation unit, discarding everything ”not constexpr”, the result should compile to an object file without any code.

Repeat compilation (conceptually, the implementation might be more efficient), replacing anything ”constexpr” by what you got earlier, and you’re done.

Or am I overlooking something?
I like to think that we are actually living in a pure anarchy. The current state is just where it leads to.

At this point I think "free market" is mostly a term of propaganda. It's too loose and wide-ranging to be useful for productive discussion, and meanwhile "free" is always good, right, so who would want a non free market? Monsters, surely.

Why do you think that? YouTube has lots of content, some of it excellent, but the vast majority of it is of dubious educational quality with tons of trash and misinformation. Much of the educational content that is worthwhile is also superficial compared to other sites on the internet that have quality and accuracy standards for their content. Some examples include khan academy, coursera, and udemy. I'd even include wikipedia before YouTube.

Counting words and claiming there are too many isn't very convincing, especially since they admit that "some" of the regulations make sense. Could they maybe identify one regulation that imposes a significant cost burden but doesn't have a clear benefit?

A big problem with critics of "slippery slope absolutists" is that often when someone says "Youtube just banned porn, you don't care now but one day they'll come for something you love" the response is "dude that's such a slippery slope, that won't happen." In other words: we just classified the end-state as a correct slippery slope, and now we're thinking that the end-state will never happen because that one argument was wrong.

A correct slippery slope identification is when someone says "A happened, thus Z will happen." That's a stretch. But "A happened, then B, C, D, E, F, and G... Z is looking more likely", its no longer a slippery slope. Its a valid concern. The slope is slippery and we're falling down it. The first case can still be right, even if we only had one data point at the time. Its incorrect to assert it is absolutely right, but its also incorrect to dismiss it just because there's only one data point.

Slippery Slopes are, absolutely, among the weakest logical fallacies to be proven wrong by internet armchair warriors with the Fallacies wikipedia page open in another tab. We can make the easy jump all the way to Goodwin's Law and assert that it is a known historical fact that people in 1930s Germany felt the same thing as these armchair warriors when the Socialists were drug away. And then the trade unionists. And then the Gypsies. And the Jewish population. And tens of millions of good people were killed. Slippery Slopes are absolutely a real thing. Having a fallacy named after them doesn't mean they don't exist.
I understand that and I think the people downvoting do too. It doesn’t justify knowingly and explicitly stating something as a fact based only on speculation.
you seem to have both shifted the frame from wages to compensation then defeated a non-existent claim about it, so that seems like a mighty straw man.

I don't think that's fair. Reagan was simply following a national trend, a trend advocated by both civil rights activists and psychiatrists. The best succinct history I've found is this 1984 New York Times article, "How Release of Mental Patients Began", https://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/30/science/how-release-of-me....

TL;DR: Reagan was trying to cut the budget and closing mental health hospitals was considered a win-win by everybody. That it happened under his governorship makes your statement literally true, but nonetheless very misleading.

It's important to recognize the history because when trying to address the problem now we hear the same retort--pills and freedom. But we got here precisely because we miscalculated the benefit of pills and the costs of an overly simplistic conception of freedom.

That's a good point. Often when I see UX this bad, it's also usually the result of siloed teams or designers working on individual parts without thinking about the whole experience, and it all just gets stitched together at the end.

I can see the console designer being like, "Oh cool, steering wheel designer is out of room, so I get to design cruise control buttons" rather than pushing back with, "This is a really bad idea"

The right set of buttons on the steering wheel are a life saver. Quite literally. How often do you take the hands off the steering wheel to adjust the radio? Be honest. Even if you're not looking at the radio, your attention is focussed on finding and manipulating the controls by touch. The control over the car is diminished because you don't have both hands on the wheel (important for quick reactions, less so for driving straight). The same goes for cruise control that can be controlled entirely with the thumb and hands on the wheel.

Maybe a set of useful buttons should be mandated on the steering wheel?
I was in an accelerator with Tidepool people, including Howard Look. They were head-and-shoulders above the rest of the groups. I'm not surprised that they are succeeding where others have failed to make an artificial pancreas work.
They did get a strike about that, or possible several times. For example, https://twitter.com/linustech/status/1008752236027973632?lan... talks about it and I strongly remember a wan show being almost dedicated to the same topic.

If I recall right, they have said that there were not that many users who came from youtube so it doesn't matter much, and that wan show itself isn't really a money maker in the first place but rather a place where they can vent and just talk a bit about random stuff. They later changed their setup so the same stream goes to youtube, twitch and floatplane at the same time but they don't know if that is within the youtube rules.

And in many of these countries, the role of prominent figures in that history is, for that reason, controversial.

That's why even in the USSR (Which nobody could ever honestly consider to have been blessed with an overabundance of introspection), there's been both a parade with a tank column rolling down the Red Square every 9th of May and official defacement of monuments commemorating one of the 'chief' architects of that victory.

I work in a non-technical business that depends critically on MS Office, but it's not a very pernicious form of lock-in. Honestly, we could probably get by with LibreOffice or Google Docs, and with VMs or terminal servers as a backup, we could ditch Windows as our main desktop OS.

But retraining non-technical users is disruptive and expensive, not to mention retraining helpdesk staff who were hired from a massive pool of Windows experts. The ongoing support costs could massively exceed Microsoft's licensing costs, and switching would produce no benefit for us. So we're 'locked in,' but it's not really Microsoft's fault.

Things were different before their monopoly was disrupted by the web and mobile. OS pluralism is normal now, and people are more inclined to blame vendors, rather than those who opt out of the vendor's ecosystem, for compatibility problems.

Oh, I know (I have a PhD in physics)--but I'd say the main reason statistics isn't used in most fields of physics isn't because it wouldn't help, but rather because most physicists don't know much about statistics.

And publication-wise, it's a bit of a chicken and the egg problem: since most reviewers are also not well-versed in statistics, they are less likely to accept a paper that uses statistical methods to confirm or reject a hypothesis. Thus, there's no institutional pressure for a physicist to learn statistics.

(And a graduate course in statistical mechanics does not count, saying that as someone who used to use that excuse)

That's funny, I don't like how Pandora works on the custom stations I've tried to build. It feels too much like it is going through the set of seed artists in some repeating order, playing a batch of similar items to one seed before switching to the next batch.

I'd much rather have these sub-genres woven together with changing styles at each track boundary, as a sort of counterpoint.

If I can remember all the way back to when I used to make my own "mix tapes" transferred from vinyl records, I think I used to do this sort of interleaving. So, I think my preference existed before I ever experienced the shuffle of a 5 or 10 disc Sony CD changers, which usually changed discs on every track change and avoided any repeats until the entire set was done.

Because of my preference for shuffle, I used to burn a CD or two for use in rental cars, where I added a pseudo-random prefix to the file names. This gave me a shuffled play when the in-dash player was set to just play sequentially, so I didn't have to discover a random mode with repeats in one particular car...
Wealth-weighted-peoples' goal.

The economic notion of "value" -- the quantity the economy optimizes -- is weighted according to wealth. "Value creation," as referred to in economic circles, is not about doing what people want, it's about doing what wealth-weighted people want. That really is the crux of it.
Because forty some buttons is a better UI than a touch screen you rarely if ever need to interface with. I have posted about this before. "Muscle" memory works on well designed screen UIs as well, especially those which are simple to use and don't involve sub menu after sub menu. If you want to get silly, my TM3 can drive just fine while I pretend to not remember where an option i never would use while driving is.

The Tesla UI is the simplest screen based system I have used in a vehicle. The first rule is, you never really need to interact with it at all during a drive. This is true for many cars, even those with forty buttons AND a screen. Most cars have automatic climate control, automatic head lamps, many have automatic wipers as well. Many replicate simple often used controls to the steering wheel, this usually just means volume control and changing media tracks/stations but its all most ever need during any drive. Tesla's one fault is not having full blue tooth control over audio baked in, maybe they will get off their ass and fix it, who knows, they seem to be fixated on games which you cannot use while driving.

Do a test, first count all your buttons. Put a sticker on each. When safe remove a sticker for each one you actually had to use. Go for it. How is this better? Don't try the argument of taking your eyes off the road. Everyone does this while driving a car properly, checking mirrors and more is a trained activity all good drivers do, taking information in with glances and more all becomes second nature.

The real issue is that in the transition is too many manufacturers are keeping far too much of the old method and combining it with a screen UI, usually a bad screen UI. One that an option you would actually want to use while driving requires more than a quick touch or voice command.

Motortrend's current issue compares a new BMW 3 series, Genesis G70, and a Tesla TM3. They have a nice picture of all three dash boards in one page. What will strike you quickly is how convoluted the G70 and 3 series look.

This Renault is a perfect example of trying to do both methods all at once and failing miserable. Bad UI is bad no matter if its buttons only or screen only and doubly worse when its both.
I've pondered about it in Indian context. India has amazing number of rules and regulations. The problem is that just about all of them are used as rails to collect money through corruption. Only those who can't pay the bribe end up getting punished.

Interestingly each new rule (e.g., a new road traffic regulation) only acts as yet another avenue to collect money.

I suppose lobbying is a legalised form of bribe so the passage you quoted makes perfect sense.
> Maybe we can just redefine "constexpr" to nothing, then compilers can just dump it all in a file, compile it, run it and there we go, the blazing fast integrated code generation pipeline we all seem to want and need.

The semantics of constexpr do not allow for undefined behavior, so this would unfortunately not be feasible.
actually bytea and blobs are useful for storing pdf's in an acid way. something like invoices that need to be generated 100% acid fashion.
Brit here, so I don't really understand lobbying in the US, and how such huge sums of money can be involved without blatant corruption - googling reveals ~3.4 billion USD spent on lobbying during 2018.

Let's say I'm Boeing and I pay a lobbying firm 15M USD - what happens next? Where does the money go?
The news is that consumers are running out of money. That can be called a market warning if you like, but it is pretty damn obvious without a new economic analysis.
The problem, in the US, is that the party which hates big businesses is the same party that loves to use regulations to fix things.
Perhaps this should be addressed but the fact it requires the user to download and open a file means it's of limited use to attackers. If you can persuade a user to do that then you needn't bother with browser exploits to get access to a user's files.

Edit: but wait, it can only access the directory the file was downloaded to? So that's almost certainly restricted to the user's download folder. That makes even less useful.
I'm glad that you agree that CA taxes and regulates real estate. The consensus is pretty much its the regulation that's doing it. Given the regulatory environment in CA, I would certainly never attempt to build a house there. I personally know people that have and the regulatory costs and delays are just ridiculous.

The next step is obvious. The government must come to the rescue and subsidize housing.
I have a late model VW Tiguan and it has a great design with physical controls + large capacitive touch screen.

No critical driving functions are controlled by the touch screen.

I think this is a very usable approach.
I personally feel regulation slows down new construction, but doesn't necessarily increase costs. Dilapidated houses still go for large sums, so I suspect land costs to be a major reason as well. Additionally, lack of contractors is becoming an issue(demand increases, costs increases) with many of them working indefinitely over in fire-ravaged areas like Paradise or Santa Rosa.
I wondered about that as well - but there's a reasonable chance it's just a sticker on a generic tablet-keyboard combo.
cl-pkr: Cross-Platform Color Picker Written in Common Lisp
Summarising just a smidge, Marx's theory described a system in which the difference between the labour value of a good and the price at which a worker can sell the labour power required to make the good accrues to the capitalist -- ie the person controlling the non-labour means of production.

Putting aside the labour value of theory (it has some minor problems, like being wrong), you'll note that Marx was talking mostly about actual factors of production. Labour is one of these, the other traditionally-named factors are land and capital (ie, factories, machines etc).

But most of the increase in the wealth of the wealthiest of the past 20 years has occurred almost entirely in the sharemarket, in which prices have run far ahead of net profits. Shares aren't, in themselves, factors of production. It might be argued that the extraction of surplus value is represented by the share price, except that the share price is set by shareholders or would-be shareholders trading with each other.

It's hard to see the link as clearly as it existed back when "capitalist" meant "a man who owns the factory".
My cruise control has a "cancel" button on the steering wheel (which is not the same as "off"), but almost all the time, I just tap the brake pedal to disable it since I generally want to disable it when I want to slow down.

As far as I can tell from his pictures, the Renault has only the main on/off button on the center console, and the rest of the cruise buttons are on the steering wheel.

EDIT: I found the owners manual, and indeed the center console has only the main on/off button, the steering wheel has the speed up/down (+/-), Resume (R), Cancel (O) buttons.

> it shouldn’t be treated as anything more than a nosql document store with mature replication.

For years, Windows NT claimed to have Unicode support, but what they called Unicode was in fact the UCS subset that used 2 bytes for each character. They still haven't adopted UTF-8 which is ubiquitous on the web.

Windows uses NTFS which is a mess ridden by compatibility constraints. For instance, the recent releases of NTFS at last introduce a snapshot feature, but mounting the volume may destroy the snapshot. FAT was even uglier. Linux and BSD are fully compatible with many mature file systems, while Windows has few options.

Windows should not be treated as anything more than a volatile UI with mature drivers. Windows is dangerous and everyone should switch to Linux or BSD (MacOS for the hipsters).
/sarcasm

As inconsistent and dangerous as it may be, MySQL is more than a nosql document store.
