> Australia seems quite aggressive in this regard; also openly banning encryption.

Australian here, talking to you over an encrypted HTTP connection, because we didn't ban encryption. Mandating certain measures which sometimes can be used to circumvent the privacy guarantees of encryption doesn't mean encryption is banned... (yeah, it's still a bad law.)

As for transaction privacy - I am concerned about small transactions, not large ones. Small transactions reveal your personal preferences and day-to-day dealings, large transactions reveal aspects of your financial situation that almost certainly have an impact on your tax obligations (and therefore that government has more reason to want to track) without revealing as much about your personal affairs.

So this bill, on its own, seems alright to me. Though I do fear that it's the start of a slippery slope down to abolishing cash - not that the free market needs any help with doing that. We'll see.

No, not really. The math for watts consumed in total just to hover, for a very large quad, hex or octocopter (with 24 to 28 inch size props, so optimal grams/watt thrust efficiency for something you can fit in a van), doesn't work out.

The weight and size of a 400W solar panel made from the very best cells you can buy commercially today is considerably more than the wattage you would need to hover a 10+ kilogram coaxial octocopter capable of carrying such a large panel on top of it.

For a large octo, a single Tmotor U8 motor with a 28 inch prop requires anywhere from 310W to 850W while in flight, and there's eight motors + eight props on a coaxial medium/heavy lift octo.

I showed this article to a few people in the professional arducopter/ardupilot/arduplane community and it has been quite thoroughly chuckled at.

For reference, here's the datasheet for a prototypical motor, a tmotor u8 170kv with 28 inch prop. You'll see the table for watts consumed and grams/watt efficiency with motor+prop mounted on a thrust stand.

If you wanted to put photovoltaics on a quad/hex/octocopter, you have multiple issues with not enough top deck surface area, not being able to introduce a lot of "sail area" (something big and light that will be grabbed by the wind) sticking out of the top, and the weight of the pv itself.

There is no PV solution anywhere near small enough to fit on the top deck of a really big commercial coaxial octo that is also capable of producing 2000W. Not even 100W in sunlight. Somewhere from 18 to 30 times less watts than is required just to hover in one place.
Such a stylus was featured in a short story set in Cicero's time (he even shows up at the end).

[spoilers]

It's "Mightier than the Sword", by John Maddox Roberts, a historical mystery tale. The triangular shape of the criminal's stylus is key, and he's caught when the investigator asks to borrow it:

"Actually, I didn't really forget my own stylus today." I took it out. "You see, the common styli are round or quadrangular. Mine, for instance, is slightly oval in cross-section." Cicero and his friends drew out their own implements and showed them. All were as I had described. Cicero's was made of ivory, with a silver scraper.

(Part of the writer's SPQR series - I find them well researched and not leaking too much of the modern mindset into classical times.)

People are quite particular about their methods of suicide.

They usually don't want to have any pain, but prefer to die instantly. No method checks as many of these boxes as using a gun.

I got the previous argument as saying exactly that the main method of suicide in Europe is hanging, and not shooting, and therefor taking guns away from most people who don't have a positive need to be armed or with doubts about their reliability wouldn't affect suicides in a significant manner. Otherwise citing that article makes no sense to me, since it actually points to guns being a major factor.

It's impossible to infer the effect of gun ownership on suicide rates by looking at countries. Too many confounding factors, too little number of countries. Same goes for states in the US.

Suicide is a very culturally shaped topic, and on top of that it is affected by the health system, economy and various other factors.

While reading your text I was thinking about Volkswagen, diesel cars and their defeat devices. This article (sorry for German only writing)
https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/verkehr/audi-abgasskanda...
states exactly opposite! The VW guys were writing poems for their clever defeat device! I am pretty sure, that some people at Boeing were also clapping hands about sales potential and cost savings of the new planes. There are more evil people in the corporate floors than you think. And top management plays with them!!! There is no way to build in defeat device in millions of cars without top management agreeing. I can guess, that Boeing’s management had enough clues, that their software wasn’t in the best shape.
"From my experience rude + under-performing = termination, if those people who you work with are not performing why does your companies management keep the around?"

So many reasons. Outside the US and inside parts of Europe, it's actually often a lot of work to fire someone for being so rude that they're damaging the company. It's possible and not actually difficult, but it requires the gathering of evidence and uncomfortable conversations and so on. Far less work and easier to either ignore it, or try to shuffle the person sideways. If they can't be shuffled sideways, there's always the option of promoting them.

Additionally, these people often look like hard-driving, no-bullshit "get it done" workers to management. Look at Dave there, he didn't mess around; he simply told everyone else that they're idiots who don't know what they're talking about, and then he left the meeting and started furiously rewriting something independently at his desk. What a guy.

Apple announced a stock buyback last year: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/01/technology/apple-stock-bu...

Microsoft announcing in 2016 an increase to their existing buyback plans: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-20/microsoft...

So, yes, definitely a thing.

I'm not a finance person, but there are reasons why a stock buyback would make sense. Returning money to investors is one. Another is that the more of its own stock the company owns, the easier it is to give stock (or options or whatever) as bonuses to employees.

I think he means that Clojure is a dependency (a JAR) that lein installs. npm, pip etc require node or python, they don't bootstrap.

Perhaps it doesn't make a huge difference in practice, but it might help in getting everyone on the same version. For node, you need something like volta or nvm.
I totally agree: I know Clojure and Racket and I think Clojure (and ClojureScript) are great for real, day to day, development; in fact, I use them at my job. I really don't know very much about Java, just the minimum needed

I said the terminology is confusing, not the article...

> the terminology doesn't actually disagree at any point, it's not incompatible

It does disagree though? I thought I just explained this... I'll do it again. "Total orders" are by their very definition in math always 'strong' -- their entire point is to use equality as the equivalence relation. That's what distinguishes them from weak orders, which can have other equivalence classes. So a "weak total order" makes no sense -- if a weak order is total, it's by definition the same as a 'strong' total order. That's in direct contradiction with their terminology.

The dark side of that is that in contrast to management, employees face far harsher penalties than a million dollar settlement. You will only get that if you have "responsibility".

I don't argue conspiracy theories or antivax is a good thing. My point is that the people have different interests in news than the gov does.

For or against the scientific arguments, there are some people out there that want to engage in stupidity and resentment. That is undeniable. The gov denies that outlet and you get it online. I'm not here to defend abject stupidity that you get online, merely to point out decision s are in fact being made by the media.

Yet and that's what every country in the west has. Watch the US media deal with NSA wiretapping laws in the 2000s. There are acres of examples of a value structure of stories imposed by governmental interest on gov broadcasters.

This is fundamental to what it does as an org.
Every time this topic comes up I come back to some basic maths. My parents were, in the late 70s and early 80s, able to buy a detached house in a suburb reasonably near public transport to the CBD on their combined teachers salaries with a mortgage repayment at around 35% of their wages. My partner and I are, on paper at least, earning multiples of that even accounting for official inflation figures and we’re left renting around twice as far away from the city for around the same portion of income.

At some point the realisation has to occur that a house 50 miles from anything is not worth $1m and the only reason they can currently sell for that is existing home owners can leverage that asset to buy them. There will eventually be no more existing home owners to sell to and the market should logically come back to sanity, or at least I very much hope it will. That or I’ll be moving my family to a more affordable location overseas creating the same effect for their own first home buyers as I take up a property that would have been used by a local. What happens after a few cycles of that I wonder...

Yes, a lot of fruit and veg is usually loose, unless you're buying it pre-chopped. There is still a lot of fruit and veg that is wrapped in plastic though.

I don't think I've ever seen pasta not in a plastic wrapper?

For milk, it's usually in a plastic bottle, but often in tetra-pak type containers (don't honestly know what they're made of!).

With oil, it's usually in a plastic bottle, occasionally a glass one for more expensive EV olive oils, and rarely in Europe I've seen shops with oil dispensers that allow you to fill your own container.

For eggs, they are usually in a cardboard box, but occasionally in a plastic one.

For salt, I think I've only ever seen it in plastic bottles or bags.
It's about as interesting as reducing the speed limit in regards to cars. Sure, we keep killing innocent people, but we have places to be and stuff.

There is always at least one guy that really does understand the implications, is in the position to make changes, but proceeds anyway.
> I wasn’t implying you claimed that all gems needed a group, I was proposing it as part of the thought experiment. My apologies if that was unclear.

My apologies I certainly misread your comment.

> To your list of examples: my point parallels your own, I think. I’m saying that given the “right” version is arbitrary and subjective, the difference between “group-b/purescript” and “purescript-group-b” is effectively nil. More concretely: if namespacing existed, you could fork “group-a/purescript” to “group-b/purescript”, but if namespacing didn’t, you could fork “purescript” to “purescript-group-b”. In either case, dependent projects need to update where they source their dependencies from.

I agree -- the effects are definitely similar and almost equivalent. However does requiring a group/author change things at all? It seems like it could introduce an abstraction lever.

> Namespacing, in my experience, tends to make the forking process slightly “cleaner”, because you avoid having a potentially non-“right” “original” (for example, “purescript” tends to look more legitimate than “purescript-group-b”). But some comments in this thread seem to paint namespacing as a hard requirement, or claim that package managers without namespacing are missing a core, mandatory feature. The case I’m presenting is that this isn’t the case: namespacing is a useful feature for several workflows, but adding namespacing doesn’t fundamentally alter the issue.

I'm on the fence -- I'm not sure if this is a good counter case, but what about the layer of abstraction introduced by the implied/required existence of <group>? You could write code that imports "purescript", but then resolve it later (as some others mentioned, go.mod is or some other modules file that clarifies mappings) to determine which "purescript" that is. You could solve this by "alias"ing "project/purescript" to "purescript" (and then having some similar extra configuration that says "purescript" -> "project/purescript", and now I'm not sure if either is better (so basically having this indirection be a "module resolution feature" or a "module aliasing feature"), and if there's any value in forcing one (requiring the existence of <group> would almost certainly force the module resolution thing, but also break builds the second similarly named packages were published...) or if they really are just the same.

I also found the page on this by the rust team pretty convincing[0].

There are multiple reasons why that isn't so much a thing. And it really doesn't seem to be very "popular".

For example it's less effective. A lot of things have to go right, and the consequences of failure are severe, on all levels. Also there is a good chance of surviving in a very painful state.

And on top of that it can be extended suicide, meaning you'll harm or kill other people. Some want that. Most absolutely don't.
I don’t think anybody is arguing that Boeing execs hate money, or weren’t excited to make loads of money. And, as I wrote, the incentive structure the Boeing execs created has an incentive structure whose outcome was incredibly dangerous. Realizing those incentives required that the executives turn a blind eye to how the problems were being solved. But I think it’s pretty implausible to suggest that the “evil people” at Boeing we’re clapping their hands about savings with an understanding that they were trading human lives for those profits. It’s tempting to imagine that the executives of corporations are all comic villains, sitting in their offices plotting the demise of humanity, but to imagine them in that way is detrimental to the goal of actually avoiding these problems. If we treat corporations as if they’re comic villains, we ignore that they’re actually made up of normal people with a variety of social and economic incentives, and being aware of those incentives is crucial if we’d like to actually change corporate behavior.
Generally, no. Most of the time you're going to write these functions as defaulted with an auto return type:

auto operator<=>(const T&) const = default;
bool operator==(const T&) const = default;

The compiler will implement the function by comparing all the class member variables and will pick the type of the ordering as appropriate. You only need to look into further details about ordering types if you want to do something fancy.
You don't convince nations. Educating women, female employment and reduced child mortality make the fertility rate drop precipitously as a result. It's still an ongoing process but peak population growth rate was over 50 years ago.

For clarity, I think the comment referencing “go.mod” that you’re describing, at least in this thread, is from me :D

I think I agree that the core feature that impacts this issue is what go.mod solves, and what you’re describing: it should be easy and language-supported to sub in one fork of a dependency for another fork, so that users can flip between “group-a”’s purescript and “group-b”’s purescript, regardless of how the namespacing works on the module registry (notably, golang dispenses with a registry entirely: there’s no central system, except insofar as github is used for lots of people’s packages).
I think the government, holds to benefit from this, and there might be no need of lobbying. Any transaction in cash for such a high amount, is intentionally done to keep the transaction off-book (and avoid taxes). There is little reason, why one would go through the inconvenience of managing so much cash, when a digital transaction is so much more ergonomical.

India too is aggressively trying to achieve this. One of their rather bold attempts, called demonetization, happened a few years back, but it failed. However, in principle, I agree with the idea of having a cashless economy, so that government has data to see who is lying in their tax returns.

Aren't other metals like Nickel and whatnot are the main bottleneck for the vast numbers of batteries required for the electric car boom? Didn't we already know for the long time that lithium is very abundant, but it's those other metals (which are required much less by mass, but still required) that might be a problem, and this is why different companies are betting on different lithium chemical processes, because they don't know for sure which secondary metal will become the bottleneck?
