It's not easy. But a good starting point would be anything that falls within the bounds of the constitution is clearly a federal issue, essentially be definition. If it's an issue of basic human rights which are protected within the constitution or anything else covered within it, then it has to be a federal issue.

Once we are outside of that, I think the default should be to have it be a state decision unless a strong case can be made for things that affect others crossing state borders or a common good/service that federal taxes pay for (i.e. externalities related to dumping, environmental regulation, borders, immigration, interstate trade, roads/infrastructure, military, etc.)

That should cover the majority of cases and we can argue about the rest as they pop up. As for some of the examples you listed - I get your point but two of those ended up gaining enough support such that there were constitutional amendments put in place to make those even higher than federal law. So maybe if we gave the other two enough time we would have had a self-adjustment through legislation on the state level due to changing opinions or enough support to warrant the supermajority required for a constitutional change.

The other part of this is identifying and viciously pursuing laws that are at odds with each other within the legal system. For example, the bill of rights existed and supposedly protected all persons (citizens or not) within the US. And yet at the same time, those rights were ignored for nearly all of an entire race of people. For that to be consistent at the federal level, one would have had to argue in court that these were not human beings. They didn't do that - they merely declared them as property, but never actually stripped them of their human status, as far as I know.

Reading your comment over again, I realize the first paragraph effectively falls into the same category as the problem I am pointing out, in a way. The implication of "we tried that with slavery, women's suffrage, civil rights/desegregation, gay marriage, and a host of other things" to me reads as "a bunch of people were clearly doing the wrong thing and were given a chance to correct it but they didn't, so they obviously had to be forced to do the right thing." And that's precisely the issue I raised. If someone in Alabama was prevented the right to marry because they were homosexual, but no laws were actually being violated (the supreme court ruling changed that), then should I vote to try to force them into submission if it doesn't affect me or anyone in my state? I'm not sure the answer to that should be yes because it results in the kind of issues we face today. I do realize that "your rights are my responsibility" and all that, but I'm referring to the pre-USSC ruling where it wasn't a federally defined right that required protection.
Email 2.0 or 3.0 won't help. Nowadays we have things like Slack,which is the same crap,only requires immediate attention. One of the main problems,in my opinion,is people's obsession with notification. Just yesterday I had a meeting,where my colleague said he's happy to get additional 200-300 emails/month instead of a daily report with the same info. The other category are the people who Cc'ing everyone on everything.When I see an email with 5-8 people Cc'ed,it makes me sick.There are situations,where it makes sense but in general it's just 'it won't make any harm if I'll CC him as well' kimd of thing.

I'm curious, is it just an extension or do you have other contact points with customers?

I feel like it's hard to justify paying for an extension so I'd love to know how you convince people to pay.

Selection to move onto a next round of interviews is based on the HTML text box, think of this much like an online job application essentially.

For a demonstration install Dark Reader on an ageing or budget machine. It can render Chrome sluggish and frustrating and Firefox almost unusable.

Hi! you're right about one thing - I have seen a LOT of people get ripped off when trying to build their product.

my dad got fleeced as well.

kinda why I wanted to create something that provides a real chance to people who def have great ideas and the experience to know exactly what the solution needs to look like.

but are just stuck because they can't convince an engineer to become their technical co-founder to start it with them

and do not have tens of thousands in $ savings to throw at their ideas.

that's where I / we come in.

I can build it. you can run it.
>It goes without saying that a conviction should never depend on computer matching, and that safeguards need to be in place to prevent abuse and limit to legitimate law-enforcement purposes.

Lol. Has the past half century or so of law enforcement hammered in a belief in the moderation of power by law enforcement? That such power is never used asymmetrically against the lower strata of society as opposed to the elites? Will it prevent people from being the victims of selective enforcement of laws, even non-violent ones involving the mere possession of drugs?

Lol. Lol. Lol.
>Ask them if they judge their kid is "useless".

They'll probably say no, but their kid is useless socially, economically, etc. Can't have a job, can't help others, can't have friends, can't have a normal life, hell can't even have a life.

>And since when do we judge human beings on their usefulness?

Since always? That's all we do. And this is not a case of someone who's in a wheelchair or deaf, this is someone who can't do anything other than yell and throw things. That's my experience with an autistic person at the "high end" of the spectrum.
Really strange that this reply is greyed out. I specifically came to the comments hoping that someone compared this project to Gun. Who better than Mark?

Also, the PartiQL compiler makes heavy use of closures, each of which becomes a class, so the first time a query executes the JVM has to load a few dozen classes--this probably explains the 86ms more than a lack of JIT optimizations alone.

Matterport | Senior Software Engineer, Frontend/3D | Sunnyvale / San Francisco, CA | Full-time | ONSITE VISA
Matterport makes a 3D camera and web platform that allows users to easily capture and display 3D models of physical spaces. Check out some example spaces in our gallery: https://matterport.com/gallery

Some interesting facts about us:

* We host over 1,800,000 highly detailed 3D models of real places captured by our cameras, amounting to over 2PB of data.

* We serve over 60 million 3D views every month, which amounts to over 30 billion requests and 1PB of data.

The WebGL team makes our 3D viewing and editing applications for the web and VR. Core technologies include Typescript, THREE.js, WebGL and Preact. The team sits at the very end of our 3D pipeline: 3D data gets uploaded from our cameras, processed by our vision pipeline in C++, Python, and TensorFlow, before REST APIs serve the data to the WebGL and VR applications, which is what the end user sees.

If you already know "normal" web development quite well, and want to take the next step into the world of 3D and WebGL, send us a note!

It's probably a mostly equity deal, i.e. most of the $410M is not real money. They recently raised $600M and I doubt they'd spend $410M of that on an acquisition.

It would be more interesting if we knew how much they actually paid in hard cash; the rest is effectively just promises of money in the form of a valuation that hasn't materialized in liquid form yet.
Withdrawals from the oil fund amounted to 17.4% of the total state budget of Norway in 2018. (This is in the neighborhood of 3% of the fund size). This is the only "oil money" that is used on the government budget -- incomes from taxation of petroleum companies are put into the fund, never used directly.

Taxation in general is very high, at approximately 55% of the gross domestic product. We could fund plenty of social welfare programs on tax revenue alone.

The electorate in the US would not accept a tax burden that is close to that of the Scandinavian countries.

This seems like a “perfect is the enemy of the good” sort of thing.

Yes, drawing good districts is really hard. Non-partisan redistricting doesn’t solve everything.

But surely it’s a hell of a lot better than allowing whatever political party is in power in a particular year to draw districts to their own advantage, allowing them to rule long after they lose the support of the majority?

You’ll sometimes end up with minority rule in any district based system, but at least it’ll be accidental rather than intentional and self-perpetuating.
>One of the arguments in favor of the electoral college is that it boosts the voice of people who are in areas with lower population density

Why should people get more say because they live more spread out? Why do 100k people living across the countryside get more say than 100k people living in a city?

If 5 million people live in a city and 2 million people live in the countryside, the people in the city should have 5 reps to the rural 2.

Density is a completely arbitrary metric to use. Why not use race? Why not income levels? Why does density demand electoral privilege but no other metric?

The only actual answer is "status quo". They are overrepresented now, so there is a retroactive justification that somehow balanced representation is "unfair", when in fact it is only "unfair" because it is less than they already have.
Try https://github.com/triska/ediprolog for a great interactive Prolog mode for Emacs. Much better that SLIME (as I remember it from briefly playing with it ten years ago): There is no notion of moving code from your edit buffer to a REPL, the code in your edit buffer is your program. Queries are also part of your program (using special comment syntax) rather than entered in a separate REPL and lost when you close that.

I think Tuareg-mode also makes the OCaml part a lot less painful. It's a bit unfair to compare Lisp used with tight Emacs integration to OCaml used seemingly without the corresponding integration.

Different market, but Gojek does it profitably. They do delivery, ride hailing, and a bunch of other stuff, and all of their segments are profitable, except ride hailing. They also have a slightly different model, which might not work in other markets. They don’t need to onboard merchants in the same way, because with them the driver pays for the order, and then the customer pays the driver, either in-app or with cash.

That's not a great example because really the school budget should be set at the state level and distributed evenly to every district based on student headcount.

You do make a valid point that many issues are local and that could be lost in a system where the party is focused at the state level instead of the local level. Proportional representation systems are prone to having this issue for example.

Could someone explain to me terminal performance and what these numbers practically mean? It's a complete mystery to me. It's so incredibly variable, the fact that I notice variability as a user really perturbs me, it's 2019, and displaying a matrix of a few thousand characters is still a challenge.

I live in fullscreen iTerm, Tmux and Vim. I have 256 colours enabled. Vim has lazy redraw enabled. I'm on a 2018 MacBook pro. Scrolling is smooth only when connected to power (probably related to CPU throttling - but it's 2019 and it shouldn't matter). iTerm is significantly faster than Terminal when resizing Tmux panes and Vim windows. I've had similar issues on Linux.

The only terminal emulator that has decent performance scrolling and resizing Vim buffers Alacritty.

What's going on? Why is there a bottleneck here? Is it rendering the text? Is that still hard to do in 2019? I don't understand the technical challenge of parsing a protocol that would literally work on a real VT100 sans some escape sequences and colours.

> we look down upon trades in the UK a little sometimes. Being a tradesman is a completely valid choice that I believe is equal with a more academic route.

Same here in the US, but you're right, it's an honorable job and nothing wrong with it.

> allowing people financial help to study improves the whole country, especially being that every family can afford to send their children

In the US we already have that as a system. See: FAFSA/Pell Grants. Those with low incomes already do receive free/subsidized college education.

These "new" proposals say that _everyone_ regardless of income can get free money for college. So in that way it's really just a giveaway for the middle/upper class. Considering that, the argument that it will help the poor doesn't hold water for me.

> Your point hasn't swayed me, but it has made me consider the 'other side' at least so thank you.

Same here, appreciate debating with someone respectfully even if opinions are different.

ProfitWell provides free subscription metrics to help you identify opportunities and then tools to help you reduce churn, optimize pricing, and grow your subscription business end-to-end.

We care a lot about building great products, but also about writing great software. We have high standards for our code, and everything to push goes through a rigorous code review. We're ok if it takes a little longer to get things right because we believe it leads to better products, better software, and happier engineers in the long term. There's obviously a tradeoff between speed and quality, and while we're always trying to find the sweet spot, we tend to err on the side of shipping well designed software.

Related to this, engineers are expected to give input on the product. It's not "here's a spec, go build exactly what it says." We think building great products is a "contact sport," meaning there's typically a lot of (respectful!) debate and refinement over the things we build before they reach their final form. This means pointing out the UI inconsistencies and UX awkwardness when starting to build out the frontend or coming up with novel ways to leverage the immense dataset we have on the backend to drive better outcomes for our customers.

We also do a lot of team activities here. Whether it's trivia or game nights, or lunch with the team, or our bi-weekly lunch & learn where we rotate presenting to the rest of the engineering team on technical topics that are interesting to us. There's always something going on.
