Wait - so it's something you've never actually researched or considered (or thought about in any depth, if you think the only barrier is financial), but you're somehow pretty sure countries hand out citizenships willy-nilly?

The only path to citizenship that's open to anybody is naturalization, and that requires you to already be a legal (often permanent) resident. While there are a few countries where you become eligible after two or three years - notably Canada - many require five, ten or even fifteen years. So before you even start the process, you have to deal with immigrating to your country of choice from your current country of citizenship/residence. And while that's not exactly the cheapest of undertakings[0], the real problem is that your application first of all generally needs to be sponsored by someone (typically strictly a relative or employer, so good luck if you don't have family in the country in question or don't work in a field that tends to hire across borders) and secondly is most often quite literally at the mercy of bored officials behind glass walls who have the power to deny you on a whim and owe you no explanation.

If by some convening of application strength and sheer luck you do get a residence permit, you then get to have your freedom of movement curtailed for however many years[1] during which simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time can set you back to square zero[2] and you still get slapped by the effect of sanctions like these, as you're still a citizen of whatever country you came from. Or you could also just make some exorbitant "investment" (often hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth) and effectively straight-up buy citizenship.

So yeah, the vast majority of people are rather powerless to do anything about their citizenship, especially when they don't have passports that let them travel anywhere on a whim (as tends to be the case for people in the sort of countries that one would want to escape citizenship of lol).

0: The cost of a passport, visa, plane ticket and rent deposit is easily $2000 plus depending on the part of the world (a friend of mine recently spent close to $4000 out of pocket relocating to Germany).

1: It's not enough to simply hold residency - there are often requirements for how much time you must have spent in the country in order to be eligible for naturalization, and leaving the country for an extended period of time will often itself jeopardise one's residency status.

2: In the US, for example, various misdemeanours - for instance drug possession - are grounds for deportation, after which you might as well forget about legally entering the country to talk of becoming a permanent resident again.

A Gaussian filter has infinite support, and is characterized by its variance (or standard deviation). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_filter

A ‘Gaussian’ which extends 1.1 units is a non-standard and not clearly defined thing. Are you picking some fraction of 1.1 as the standard deviation and truncating after? (Often Gaussian filters are truncated after 3 standard deviations, or similar.) Are you multiplying by some other window function? ...

How would you answer this question if you got it during a job interview? Oddly, it seems a bit like the infamous "spit ball an answer to how many dentists there are in Cleveland" type questions Google was famous (or infamous) for. The number of sheep might be a clue to age if shepherds accumulate sheep in a lifetime (naturally, no reason to think they do, sadly).

There's a lot of authority issues involved. Do you admit to an authority that you don't know how to solve X? Do you challenge an authority that they don't know either? Do you doubly challenge that authority by alleging they gave you a bullshit question for kicks?

And after authorities throw such a question at students, they're happy to draw conclusions about what feeble solution efforts the student made?

And this is after students have been inured to treating math as a bondage and discipline exercise in following instructions, after math has been drained of any large meaning.

The people did this experiment should be whipped with a wet noodle.

The UK has no requirement for ID. The old WW2 ID was abolished in the early 50s as an infringement of civil liberties. The idea being that a citizen can go about their lawful business without interruption unless suspected of something. IDs were being asked for by police and others as a matter of course rather than of suspicion.

A passport or driving licence forms a de facto ID, but both of those are voluntary, and there is no requirement to carry them. You don't even need to carry your driving licence when driving. I haven't seen my driving licence for years! I think I know which drawer it's in. :)

There are also voluntary ID schemes for youngsters who want to prove they're old enough to buy alcohol and tobacco, or be in a club etc.
Firefox IOS uses the safari browser because Apple's walled garden is off limits for browsers that are not based on that. So, that makes shipping a VR browser without the Firefox internals impossible/impractical. In this case, it's not only a browser but a content store that is not iTunes, which complicates things further.
New Device Turns Heat into Light Could Boost Solar Cell Efficiency to 80%
People do not make choices based on all global facts. If everyone in the country bought a car that pollutes less, we're all better off. If only I buy a car that pollutes less, and everyone else does whatever, I am poorer but not healthier. Thus it makes sense to incentivize individual choices that benefit society.

Additionally, entrenched markets can be difficult to enter. If solar would win a fair race against petroleum, but it's starting centuries later, it may have no chance without initial subsidies.

The point isn’t about the supply of new construction but rather about supply of open leases. Rent control incentivized renters to stay put thereby reducing supply for potential residents. Limiting supply increases prices which further incentivized renters to stay put. And on and on.

Removing rent control hurts current renters in the short term. It also removes restrictions on supply that improve the overall health of the market over a longer time horizon.

> Nothing personal or racial

I don't think it's the case that there was nothing racial about the trans-Atlantic slave trade, at least in terms of justifying it to a public who would increasingly be inclined to think that society can tell people not to keep slaves.

Though I would tend to agree that slavery was never only about race, not before the trans-Atlantic trade, and not during.
Yeah right, obsessed with shaving some µm from keyboards but then let's put laptop style "short travel keys" keyboards on a desk because it looks cool. And not get me started with using the same horizontal staggered layout that was necessary 200 years ago on typewriters but it makes absolutely no sense today.

The fun thing is I've seen "ortholinear" keyboards sold for kids because horizontal staggered layout is for adults...

P.S. in my personal experience vertical staggered should be the default layout

Yes, of course. Is this rhetorical? Obesity and wealth are highly correlated.
>Does that mean Americans are poor people who can only afford empty calories?

I don't know if it's because they can't afford better or don't want to eat better, but in the US there is a considerable relationship between income/education and obesity. The poorer you are, the more likely you are to be obese. 50% of the US makes less than $30k a year, and that group probably amounts to somewhere around 75% of the obese people.

My cloud servers from major players all have v6 address attached on launch.
But do any of these address the point that effectively anyone in a developped country already has one or more unique IDs of some kind ?

And for any developping country, time will come where people who don’t have an ID now will need to get one, to receive care, go to school, get out of the country or drive a car.

In that sense, if a country allows people to not have a surname, as long as they have at least one canonical ID I guess it’s fine.

Lower yielding crops are still green, color has nothing to do with the weight produced per plant. Yield is related to physiological stress on the crop: over water a plant it stays green while the roots rot, put it in drought conditions or heat it up for slightly longer and it gets stressed; either way you're reducing the harvest yield.

Additionally if the greening is occurring in previously permafrost soils that are not very useful for farming then there is not an increase in the food produced by that green area.

It is not perfect, far from it, and the reason why so many Americans have second names (After all, USA had to Georges Bush as president)

A free form "full name" text could be the solution, but then the problem is forcing a formatting on it so that one person always puts the same thing in this field. Should I include second names? Accents? Is that family name first or second? At least, with clearly labeled fields you are already able to tell Adam Smith from a Smith Adam.

Webshops usually are happy with name + current address but there are administrative domains where this is not acceptable.

Scientists are already searching for and tracking such objects. More funding would be nice but we definitely don't need the US to break more treaties in order for the world to track NEOs.
> sites insist on collection first and last names separately, as opposed to just a "full name"

Because that's also a cultural bias from (some) western countries. And even then some countries that "insist" on First/Last name don't have Middle names.

You might also want to split First/Last names to display things like Mr. Smith

In practice (especially for government purposes), John Smith is not only John Smith, but John Smith born in Day-Month-Year, in City, etc.

Perhaps something has changed since I used it - about 2 months ago - or we were using it incorrectly, but in our experience it was "real-time" transcription, but not truly incremental. (Since you and another person have mentioned it's possible I'm leaning towards us not looking through the documentation carefully enough. We didn't spend too much time trying to figure it out because the time limit was a bigger dealbreaker)

Probably best explained as an example. Consider someone saying this:

"How are you doing? I'm doing well. Do you plan to go to the park with Alice and Bob tomorrow to see the fireworks show?"

When we were using it, Google would give:

1. "How are you doing?"

2. "I'm doing well."

3. "Do you plan to go to the park with Alice and Bob tomorrow to see the fireworks show?"

as three separate messages.

So it's certainly not waiting until the end of the entire streaming to give you a result - it sends you those three messages as you speak. In that sense it is "returning text as it's recognized", because once it recognizes you've finished a sentence it computes the words and gives them back to you. But the issue for us was that we could only get results after full sentences or long pauses.

Amazon, on the other hand, would give for the last sentence something like:

1. "Do you plan"

2. "Do you plan to go"

3. "Do you plan to go to the park"

So for our purposes (showing a chat bubble above a person's ahead), the latter version was much more useful. The reason is that in spoken language sentences often ramble, so we wanted to be able to show some incremental updates to the user as a long sentence was spoken so they wouldn't have to read 30 words at once.
It should be pretty clear by now that this rekindled enthusiasm for censorship isn't aimed at works that are hostile or otherwise disempowering, but rather that which is challenging. Historic oppressors could ask us for no greater favor than to shy away from remembrance of their misdeeds simply because they make us uncomfortable.

I think that you're making a lot of demographic assumptions about the US hispanic population that I'd have to see a reference for other than the growth in household net wealth (often a bad statistic because households grow and shrink) and the age distribution which I totally believe.

The relation of educational attainment to wealth would also have to be something I'd have to be shown; otherwise, I'm not sure why you're mentioning it.

Lastly, specifically in regards to Mexico, there has been a massive outmigration, with a drop in the number of undocumented immigrants of 1.1 million from 2008-2014, and documented immigrants of 140,000 between 2009-2014. These are net numbers, meaning that there's been a large churn in the population that just doesn't exist with black people.

So that's my case why black people would be a better group to look at; you're looking at the same black people throughout the entire period, and their wealth level has been known throughout the entire period.

> Democrats are just as irrational. By giving tax breaks to renewable energy, letting Priuses use the diamond lane, the whole solyndra scandal.

Sorry, how exactly do you balance that? On one side, you have government encouragement of renewable energy, low emmission vehicles, and solar power (though on that one they got scammed). I can see arguments that the first two are bad policy, and the third is a straight up mistake (and fraud on the part of a few individuals). None seem "irrational".

On the other, you have a whole political party that has simply "decided" to reject long-settled consensus science on the basis of what they "want" to be true philosophically.

> IDs were being asked for by police and others as a matter of course rather than of suspicion.

Is the existence of an ID really the problem there?

I like the idea that having to provide an ID is optional and the police can't force someone to comply without a good reason, but the existence of an UID for people seems really necessary in a lot of cases, to prove someone did not vote 10 times in an election, to track your pension state, your debts, your condemnations (I don't want someone to confuse me with a criminal of the same name!)
