Corporations won't spontaneously pay more for labor any more than they would spontaneously pay more for parts or raw materials. If a corporation chooses to spend more on expenses, then it will tend to spend on things that increase its value. Those things may include spending more on advertising to bring in new business or moving to a fancier office to impresses new clients. Paying more for labor, however, is like paying more for electricity; it doesn't add any value.

Only thirty years ago (I'm having trouble finding the exact date of switchover) rural addresses in Iowa were of the form

Box #123 RR 456 (RR for Rural Route)

City, IA 50000 (city of nearest post office)

The replacement started in the 1990s was called something like 911 address because nobody but the postman could easily navigate to your home unless they already knew. Country roads didn't have names.

“Always been a better experience” is just a personal experience.

Uber launched in SG before Grab did. Many drivers preferred Uber - they’re payout schedule and incentive structure was more favourable. Many riders, both locals and expats, including myself, preferred Uber. Grab undercutting Uber’s pricing was a tactic, just like GoJek is trying to chew off a market share by underpricing Grab today.
If it's not obvious why someSuperGenericThing is thisSpecificThingINeed in this case, I'll often give it an appropriate name and more specific type locally. It helps the next reader (which, of course, might be me) and can also help keep type errors better localized. It takes noticing, though, to be sure.

What do you mean?
That's what they were called in Texas, too, "911 address." Before that, people who got mail delivery to their houses usually used some form of [lot number] [locally-known street or platted subdivision]. If you owned multiple lots, you used multiple numbers. My grandparents' address was something like "10-11-12 Rocking Ranch, Middleofnowhere TX 75333." After 911 addressing, it became the usual format but the street names were assigned by the county if you weren't in a city.

Then there were the people who didn't get mail delivery so all they had was a PO box. To this day, there are people who still only have a PO box as their "real address" and they have to go get a 911 address assigned from the Postmaster or their county when they renew their voter registration or state ID because the state decided a few years ago that PO boxes weren't real addresses for voting or having on a license. The address still doesn't work for mail delivery, it's just to fulfill a location rule.
> don't have the numbering system that Americans take for granted

I’ll take a second to point out that American addresses are bizarre to many Europeans, for the same reason that your dates are; the room number or suite number is written _after_ the street number.

Random addendum: in the UK, a postcode plus a small number will accurately identify most addresses, and when entering an address online you’ll be asked for a postcode and then prompted to choose from about 20 residences or businesses that that could be
True, but still hardly any kind of extremism.

I don't know. The proposition to a non-chain restaurant in the suburbs, of which there are very few to begin with, reminds me more of a Groupon situation where the restaurants come out on the short end. In this case, it's not because they have to discount, it's because it's their reputation that takes the hit for Uber taking too long to deliver. Plus, a lot of local restaurants' margin comes not from the markup on the food, but the markup on the drinks. Many already offer carryout anyway.
They never signed up for being part of the EU. The UK joined the EC. Maybe they should stay in the EEA and everything would be fine, but even that has too many restrictive rules now that the English are unable to skirt. Like freedom of movement for goods and for people.

The interesting question that follows is:

What would the critics have said, if they had done just that?

Probably something among the lines of: ”see, this proofs they are unreasonable lunatics! Nobody in their right mind would protest against the Hells Angels. How does that even further thwir goals? They should go against $TARGET”

The key to understanding a lot of criticism is that it happens often in defense of the critics sense of superiority and is therefore not necessarily an rational argument against a certain movement, but a justifiction from the critics why they aren’t part of it. And the answer equates usually roughly: ”because they don’t go far enough, are not brave enough, not clever enough, not efficient enough, not radical enough, not consequent enough, taking on the wrong target, ...”

The interesting aspect: this kind of criticism rarely brings to light any valid argument against the underlying motivations of the movement. So as an example you rarely see critics go: “The idea that we shouldn’t wear fur is wrong - we totally should for the following reasons ...” ¹

This makes clear that the critics realize they can’t make a moral argument here — yet they want to maintain a feeling of superiority over those who question the status quo and so they aim for the character of those they criticize.

Critic: ”If only I were part of that movement, I would protest even more than they do, by going for the dangerous Hells Angels.”

B: ”Yeah but you aren’t. As it stands now you do less than those who you criticise for not doing enough — what does that make you?”

Critic: ”I am still better than them because ...”

If I ever feel I need to criticise a movement for not doing enough, I stop and think about what I am in the process of doing and whether I am really in the position to phrase that criticism.

---
¹: Usual arguments like “We always did it like that and it was no problem” just proof the critic didn’t really think about the topic.
> How do we know the big bang is not just a tiny spec in the middle of a giant ocean

This is referred to as the Cosmic Landscape, or, Eternal Inflation. In eternal inflation, the cosmological constant becomes a field in its own right, the Inflaton field, and our universe is a pocket of spacetime where that field has randomly adopted a value allowing nontrivial structure to form.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_inflation

The big problem is that science is based on repeatable experiments, and it's very difficult to make a theory of what happens outside the observable universe that can be tested even in principle. If a theory doesn't make falsifiable predictions, then it isn't science. Until someone comes up with a prediction that can be tested, one might as well ask, "How do we know the world wasn't created by God?"

There are infinitely many things we don't know, the challenge is coming up with something we can know.
We're not talking about profits here. Companies are borrowing money to buy back their own shares. And this trend continues to accelerate. Debt to GDP is at an all time high right now.

An index fund, or someone who is buying-and-holding would have the exact same effect.

The company makes a bid on it's own shares, and regardless if you are doing a buy-and-hold, or investing in an index fund, or a low information investor, you are not selling, even if the share price passes their inherit value.

The point I'm making is this gives corporations an easy way to keep their stock prices stable and rising, without having to perform. This attracts more investors, which raises the price even further until it's way past what is should be valued at.

If it keeps going like this, eventually the whole stock market will become way overpriced (a bubble) and crash like we've never seen before.

I worked at a branch of Emerson Electric. We did an inventory of hardware and software and I went from one machine to another running the BSA software and entering each PC into a database. We had IBM OS/2 2.0 as well as DOS Windows 3.1 this was the early 90s. Any software that did not have a license for we had to buy them in bulk from 800 Software to meet auditors specs. It seemed that this was before activation and on floppy disks people had shared.

It paid off because we got a discount on bulk licenses and met auditor inspections. I was a PC Specialist back then.

I don't think it's cool.

Look at it this way. A full battery with the highest possible voltage can deliver its highest possible amperage. Once the state of charge has dropped just a bit, and therefore pack voltage drops just a bit, the theoretical amperage that pack can deliver drops.

A P100D does it's crazy 2.4s run on a 100% SoC battery.
Let the battery cool and try it again, and you'll get your 2.5s run.
Let the battery cool and try it again, and you'll get your 2.6s run.
Etc. etc.

IN OTHER WORDS... the Tesla motors and traction control are able to take advantage of everything the battery pack can possibly deliver. So as the pack voltage degrades, so does performance.

Since the Taycan can deliver max performance runs on a 90% SoC battery the same it can on a 100% SoC battery... that means that the motors and traction control can not take full advantage of everything the battery pack can deliver.

OR, it means Porsche literally is limiting the acceleration performance of the car in software.

Either way, Tesla wins.

> You can blame the players for not helping other players

That's called entitlement. They have no duty to share their wealth beyond what they choose which as most people, is their family.
In the end our business leaders and state leaders are too busy exploiting science to empower and enrich themselves to have any actual concern about science, i.e. ask environmental scientists what they should do in their business and political decisions... And similarly the alt-right is weary of science because it gets in the way of its dreams of domination, control, supremacy and tribalism. They have more in common, the supposed would be Eco-fascists and the business interests than the casual observer is led to believe.

Science is better paired with idealists who can imagine a better world using science than with rationalists who are simply exploited by business interest and the state for more power and profit... solving trivial issues like how to get more eyeballs for ad dollars.

You could multiply all of those together to get mass.

Making something that performs well at freeway speeds, yet also is efficient when manuvering round a parking lot is hard.

Most companies just hope you don't care about only getting 5% efficiency round the parking lot, because that isn't a large fraction of your energy budget, even when it's so inefficient.

This is a big deal because the recruiter is in clear violation of the GitHub ToS[0]. Quoting from section H: "You may not use the API to download data or Content from GitHub for spamming purposes, including for the purposes of selling GitHub users' personal information, such as to recruiters, headhunters, and job boards."

Of course recruiters are incapable of sound ethical judgement. Part of living with people who have poor ethics is enacting rules which force them to conform or be excluded.

If your ability to care about rules is this low, then you're going to spend all of your life in a state of imminent lawlessness.

Your typos are honestly more interesting than anything else; your message isn't important, just wrong and at the top of the page.

I hope that you are ready to explain CCPA to your boss. I won't accuse you of doing a bad job, though.

The recruiter in question, like all recruiters, is to be avoided when possible. Avoid rent-seeking and grifting.

Are you implying that prison suicides are always genuine suicides?

Are you denying that police doesn't commit extreme brutality?

How can anyone give a number? Sure, one can give a number for suspicious cases but how can anyone say for sure that a given suicide was in fact a murder?

Can you always access the actual information regarding what happens in jail?

How often do you think Black people are mistreated by police? What are the actual numbers of black people being subjected to police brutality? If you cannot provide the actual numbers, does that mean it doesn't happen at all.

I don't think we have enough room for overprovisioning panels that much. The average German for example uses 48000 kWh per year of primary energy[2]. Solar panels produce around 150 Watts per square meter peak. That means you need about 35 square meter years of solar panels per person to get to net 0. Let's say 15 square meter years because primary power consumption includes power plant inefficiencies and so on that you don't have with direct electricity.

42,339 MW of PV installations produced 39,401 GWh of energy in 2017 in Germany[1], so about 38 days of peak generation.

That means you need around 400 square meters per person at typical PV efficiencies to break even. That's already a lot. Where do you want to build 50 times that? There are 230 people per square kilometer in Germany, that's 4300 square meters per person.

In Europe environmentalism is a fundamental part of every left leaning party and overpopulation is a topic old as stone — parties usually have some kind of stance here that goes as follows:

“Do what you can to raise the standard in Africa while making that investment help their economies and help the planet by absorbing CO2. A raised living standard reduces birth rates and migration while at the same time it could help the environment if done right.”

There are ideas like solar farms in africa that produce hydrogen which is in turn beeing shipped and used for electricity etc.

So to say they don’t have concepts says more about you than about those who you try to criticise here..
I worked at a startup that was doing NLP/AI stuff on Amazon books for a while (a "smart" email newsletter book recommendation service).

You'd be surprised at some of the books that top those Amazon sales charts. The biggest consumers are middle-aged women and Amazon self-publishing is where the giant harlequin novel industry moved to.

One of the more bizarre books that popped up included a Dinosaur/cave girl love story [1] and some other fantasy related themes mixed with romance. Each of those would have tons of real reviews.

There was also tons of sketchy business books and self-help stuff.

I'm sure this stuff was really popular before too, but people tend to be less shy and far higher quantity when buying 'anonymously' online with a Kindle. Bookstores would only carry 'respectable' titles'. So the quiet online bestsellers look very different than NYTimes list just from consumer behaviour alone.

> Assume we did, what is the correct amount of help that the successful players should help the unsuccessful ones? Unless it's codified into the game itself (being made to pay more taxes based on wealth for example), it's unfair to expect arbitrary players to pay some undefined price to the satisfaction of another arbitrary set of players.

It's completely appropriate and reasonable to answer that question with: I don't know exactly how much, but certainly a lot more than is currently occurring, so let's {double, quadruple, 10x} the current levels and then re-assess.
