Well, I guess that's why you need to creatively misinterpret the statistics in order to make the argument "Canadian wait times long -> single-payer systems baaaaad". Never mind the other logical fallacies in said argument.
I invented a similar chess variant that doesn't require a referee.

All the pieces are one color, but on the bottom of the pieces you mark the true color (black or white).

When it's your turn, you can either move, or challenge your opponent that their last move was false. If you challenge, they turn over the piece they just moved. If it was their color, you lose your turn. If it was your color, they move the piece back and you get to move.

Don't even get me started on Go Chess, a hybrid of Go and Chess played on a chess board with both Go and Chess pieces, where in the Go world even Chess pieces are treated as Go pieces.

Precisely what I meant! In my comment I did not accuse any individuals specifically. I said "someone" must have committed a crime here and that this is clear from the case and therefore we cannot presume innocence, just need to focus who are the offenders, but not if there was a criminal offense in the first place.
I don't live in NYC, but I do drive through it every now and then. This is the first time I'm hearing about it. Good to know.

I wonder if the future entails large S-Curve companies using their expertise to start and support new companies that would get their own listing. Maybe these companies could reward shareholders by preferential future investments in these companies that they get off the ground with their consulting and expertise.

In Europe people often buy second hand cars for less than $5k, even less than $2k. Renting is way too expensive, as is this conversion kit.

Housing as an investment is the problem here. The cost of the houses and the cost of the rent are adjusting to the income, if you double the income in the region you will have triple the rent (because the disposable income will increase much more than the actual income increase). See Silicon Valley for a good demonstration of this.
Dutch Master Horse Racing Tipster Review
Seems pretty common to me. I have worked in smaller companies where everyone was an integral part of the business, and that isn't most large companies I worked at since then. I think it is partly a cargo cult thing. Very successful business can afford to threat people as disposable, be elitist or inflexible. So they end up thinking that is part of what makes them successful, without realizing they are throwing away opportunities. Maybe there are some larger companies that does things differently, but I haven't really seen it.
Indeed, it almost doesn’t. Before Brexit, the sector was constantly crying for help; the car industry itself almost disappeared in the ‘80s, before the government explicitly targeted it. When Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader of the opposition Labour party, pre-Brexit referendum, one of his main rallying cries was about rebuilding a real manufacturing sector; there is almost no word of that anymore, unsurprisingly - now it’s all about maintaining current levels of economic activity, which we’ll be lucky to do.
The NZ system is similar. GPs are subsidised (your primary health provider) but hospitals are run by the government and are free. The unfortunate thing is you have to go through the GP to get a referral to the Hospital (unless you go into A&E).

The other interesting system that NZ has is something called ACC which also pays for rehabilitation and loss of income when someone has an accident. If you are paralysed and can no longer work then ACC will pay you something like 80% of your income until you manage to find another job. That could be for the rest of your life.
Yes, a criminal offense took place but we don't even know whether any of the accused are guilty. Knowing that a crime took place is pointless if you can't figure out who is to blame.
No, I’m cases of murder it has to be proven that a murder (ie it wasn’t accidental, suicide, etc). There’s also different degrees of murder depending on the circumstances (ranging from self defence through to pre-meditation and even crimes more horrific than that).

It’s not just about proving the perpetrator, it’s about proving the circumstance because there will be different sentencing - and sometimes even different laws - depending on the circumstance.
What a fascinating tool. Thank you for sharing it.
Not just newspapers. Warren (and now many others) are interested in breaking up large companies because their power threatens the governments power. Articles like these help test the waters since NYT supports the left more than the right.

However, before search boxes in the location bar facilitated such behavior, users were perfectly able to navigate to sites by the use of URLs. (And these were much less experienced users then.) It's not that long ago that human readable URLs (especially the composition of the path) has been a "hot" topic. – There's a possible discussion about de-facilitating users by convenience.
Nice! Which island?
How about the question: "should we force everyone to help these people?" I don't think you are talking about charity in any of the "help" definitions.
for real, in addition, there's interesting research looking at how, punishing and exiling groups of people alters society's relationship with that group.

Stuff like harrassment, arrest, and enforcement actions against a specific group of people isn't the _result_ of prejudice, its frequenty the _cause_ of prejudice due to the just-cause fallacy.
Labor costs are not just wages. It would take a social carnage to lower them to levels competitive with Asia.
I find hoisting a convenient feature as I can declare the variable in context to where it's used. It means I do not have to break the flow of how the code reads, making the code easier to understand and less bug prone. Example:

if(something) var foo = 1;
The exact same thing can be said about any human dynamic where the objective is to teach.

The end-goal is to make the material accessible to the learner by connecting it some pre-existing human intuition or experience, thus providing the learner with a vocabulary to express their thoughts.

The important question is how are the vocabularies (both formal and informal) produced by Mathematics different from the vocabularies produced by Computer Science when both fields are working on the same real-world problems?

And if the two vocabularies are of equal utility - do we really need two different tools for the same job?
I've found the server to be unreliable, when I used OpenVPN, I had to restart it regularly in order to make it possible to connect again (it would begin to connect, but then just stall open).

I'd say that Javascript/Electron is easier if you come from a webdev perspective, from a tabula rasa point of view I highly doubt that the usual react/redux rigamarole that's often used is that easy. Not even sure if I like it that much better than ExtJS, and that's saying something.

Same goes for Swing, I didn't mind writing in it, but the framework parts aren't really easier than Qt etc. Java as a language has fewer footguns than C++, so if you include that, sure...

There's also FPC/Lazarus as a Delphi replacement (the original seems to be driven into the seventh layer of enterprise heck). Easy enough to create small-ish native UIs.

There's also a scale that the United States has over all other OECD countries. It's by far the largest in population and therefore has more specialist equipment. A country like Canada with almost a tenth of the population will have less facilities.

The food desert thing is a big problem in areas populated by the native-born American poor.
Once again the rural poor get ignored and have their existence denied.
My 'plan' was thought of because the Trafic/Vivaro/Primastar are all the same van, and the labour wouldn't be much - getting the engine and gearbox out can be done in a couple of hours when you're using a ramp, and if the conversion kit was intelligently made to pick up on the same mounting points as the standard engine/transmission then it would fit back in really quickly.

The same powertrain is also used in their larger models - Master/Movano (can't think of the Nissan one), so that would also be another market. The labour would be minimal compared to the cost of the batteries.
So with a small bit of short term memory this is equivalent to chess? That's not really a similar variant to the hidden-information game that is Kriegspiel.
Targeted spying is limited by manpower, not by technology.

If undercover agents can work mostly from the comfort of their home or office because they operate online, they might be able to spend time on other activities, but not to infiltrate two organizations at once.

If some speech recognition AI finds interesting bits in conversations so that the same analyst is ten times faster at examining wiretapping output, it doesn't mean catching terrorists ten times faster.

Listening to wiretaps is only a small part of the work and Amdahl's law applies; moreover more data and better data analysis tools tend to improve quality, not to reduce effort (in this case, it becomes affordable to snoop on ten times as many people).
Poverty is a moving target; no matter what we do, there will always be the bottom 10% that will be considered poor by comparison. Double the income of everyone - bottom 10% will remain there. Triple the income of the lower half of the population: you still have a bottom. So what exactly is the measure of the problem and how to measure it was solved, when it will eventually be solved?

If you apply for jobs with 5 years of CRUD experience, you'll likely just get CRUD jobs. I'd recommend picking up a project that is more tha. CRUD. It can be open source.

So the problem is theirs.

No but the UK does have certain other advantages over low cost producers, that's why it still manages to manufacture stuff. Its the costs relative to the EU and US etc that matter
Suckerpinch (Tom) recently had a video[1] about predicting the position of the oponents pieces from knowning just white. I don't think he's aware of this. Great video anyway.

He trained an NN to predict the pieces and then used Stockfish on the resulting position.

TBH I never found out - even doing a one-off is beyond me financially, so it's not something I bothered pursuing. I'd imagine you could get a good cost reduction on the parts if you were committed to volume, but no matter what the batteries to give it a worthwhile range would be the lion's share of the cost. My van has a 700+ mile range on diesel (it gives me about 40mpg on a run), and while you wouldn't get that, I think lots would want 300 mile range before they'd consider it as most workmen do a fair mileage.

Okay, so I’ll assume that you have good and valid reasons for not liking all these things about America.

Are they new things? Has America been all about this for a couple hundred years? It that how she was founded and how she survives?

If you disagree with the foundational principals of the nation, you can leave. As you say, there are other countries that do things the way you want. You don’t have to fight against our way of life.

You're kidding, right? The BBC have extensively covered the gilets jaunes, including the response of the police and government. They've interviewed protesters, interviewed police, written lengthy articles examining the cause(s) of the protests, and indeed published articles covering the police's tactics throughout the events.

etc. You can find hundreds of additional articles. It's absurd how more and more frivolous and meritless these attacks on the BBC are becoming as time goes on.

One further point. You may not be referring to this, but the claim the BBC were suppressed from covering the protests was a debunked claim originating on 4chan (https://metro.co.uk/2019/01/28/bbc-ordered-stop-reporting-ye...).
A healthy steel industry would seem to be fundamental to having a healthy auto industry. But the UK's steel industry is in trouble as well.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/may/22/what-went-w...

"The UK steel industry has been in decline for some time because of a variety of factors such as overcapacity in EU steelmaking and Chinese state-subsidised firms flooding the global market with cheap product. An industry that employed 323,000 people in 1971 now employs less than a tenth of that, at 31,900. The closure of the Redcar steelworks in 2015 was a significant blow to the sector and left the UK with only two blast furnace steelworks, which make steel from raw materials: Scunthorpe and Tata Steel-owned Port Talbot in south Wales. There are also four electric arc furnaces in the UK, which make products from recycled steel. There are three of these sites in Sheffield and one in Cardiff."

Spotify... Probably the most game changing app for me, until like 3 years ago I usually would download music on my phone whenever I had free time, and that would take so long to get it onto my phone. Now I can just click the app and listen.

Edit: Also, Instagram, not for its social media aspect such as stories or posting pictures, but its direct messaging feature, since all my friends are on Instagram I no longer need to collect phone numbers or go onto various messaging services. Usually I can just message them on there, even if I have to sacrifice a little bit of privacy it's fine since none of my conversations are usually sensitive.
let also does some magic in for-loops, creating a new variable for each iteration, basically creating a closure.

To measure those advantages, one only has to look at the UK post-WWII/pre-common-market.

FYI this was everyone's way of life in the past. There was no public health care nor public pensions. Then, some nations changed, and some didn't. Who's right - I don't know, but this surely is not an American thing. It's just an old thing.

Personally I'd be interested in seeing more energy related things. Something that can displace oil. Something that can be more effective and reduce energy wastage. It has the potential to unlock a lot of cool things like desalination.

Quantum computers has been in research for a while, but will do some interesting things when it happens.

Here in the UK, the private health insurance arranged by my employer costs them $450 per year.

I don't know how much US insurance costs your employer, but I assume it's several times more, rather than several times less, than mine pays!

After all, in the UK private medical insurance doesn't have to cover ambulances or emergency surgery or pre-existing conditions or chronic illnesses or old age or organ transplants or childbirth.

I've seen the propaganda of "communist countries kill X people".

Yet in capitalist societies, the blame is never on government, and is put squarely on the individual. It's YOUR fault you're sick. It's YOUR fault you're lazy. It's YOUR fault blaa, YOUR FAULT...

The costs of capitalism as a form of governmental policy are just as hidden as the externalized costs in everything around us. When do we start counting deaths due to extreme poverty? When do we count deaths due to 'Corporate Death Panels' (aka: insurance companies), and not having socialized medicine? When do we count the deaths of 'spreading democracy' via hegemonic expansion? When do we start counting illness and deaths resulting in subsidizing diabetes-inducing foods (corn, wheat, sugar, etc)? When do we start counting the extreme losses incurred (deaths, property, etc) about ignoring climate change?
If you were more comfortable/most familiar with strongly typed languages, then yes. But don't assume everyone has your tastes. Java for example is a very strongly typed language, and I find the verbosity makes it harder to parse.
