Incorporation, and the legal protections extending from it, are extended by the state, to provide value, ultimately to the state as a whole (e.g., not just the government, but the people).

You'll find a form of this expressed in Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, though he speaks here in terms of the entire field of political economy:

POLITICAL œconomy, considered as a branch of the science of a statesman or legislator, proposes two distinct objects: first, to provide a plentiful revenue or subsistence for the people, or more properly to enable them to provide such a revenue or subsistence for themselves; and secondly, to supply the state or commonwealth with a revenue sufficient for the public services. It proposes to enrich both the people and the sovereign.

Of incorporated firms -- joint-stock companies -- Smith is markedly less enthused, and limits them to serving in insurance and banking, major civil engineering, and public works projects.

The only trades which it seems possible for a joint stock company to carry on successfully without an exclusive privilege are those of which all the operations are capable of being reduced to what is called a Routine, or to such a uniformity of method as admits of little or no variation. Of this kind is, first, the banking trade; secondly, the trade of insurance from fire, and from sea risk and capture in time of war; thirdly, the trade of making and maintaining a navigable cut or canal; and, fourthly, the similar trade of bringing water for the supply of a great city.

Useful tip, thanks! Related is sending Amazon gift cards from the Amazon of their country to people who live in a different country, so that you can effectively send cash without actually sending cash or requiring the receiver to sign up for Paypal etc. The only gotcha is you have to do it using the flavor of Amazon that is the receiver's Amazon, but since Amazon ports your user account and payment information between different Amazons and lets you use your native currency to buy Amazon cards in a different currency, it works.
OK. Why not change the law, if you want to make undocumented migration legal?
I don't agree that the existence of SWAT teams is a problem. Other countries without aggressive police presence also have something comparable for situations that are out of the norm. It's more the amount of SWAT teams we have and police being trained to be afraid of everything, for example during police academy they are played recordings of officers being murdered to instill this fear. Large cities do still need something like SWAT for situations beyond the abilities of your average police officer. Some small town in Kansas definitely does not need a SWAT team because nothing ever happens there.

Many countries in Europe, for example, have already destroyed majority of their forests. Not saying that destroying forests is good, quite the opposite, but unfortunately that's how it seems to go if you can't monetize the forests in some way and that's where western (and other) money could help.
Senators get elected at best about 70% to 30% in votes also so assume that only 70% of that 38.4M people actually 'control' the laws. "Completely control" is a bit of an exaggeration though, I think you mean not allow new laws to get passed. Having a small population with the ability to prevent new laws is less concerning to me than a populous majority with the ability to pass laws. New laws should have broad support and broad appeal before getting enacted. Due to the internet there is much more spread of culture and thought between states than ever before and I think we could see much more laws getting passed very soon if democrats and republicans, and the media, could stop acting like every single day is election day again and are contrarian to every single word that comes from the other party.

Do you understand Portuguese? That slide is nothing about what this article is reporting.

For anyone that doesn't understand Portuguese, this slide is about how the government feels threatened by what they see as (even agreeing that would be paranoid) a disinformation campaign orchestrated by NGOs, media, and other actors.

Also, besides this slide having nothing to do with the article being discussed here, it also begs the question on why we should trust an agency that was openly anti Bolsonaro and pro PT (the opposing party) in the elections without any substantial proof but showing a photo of a slide.

Not sure how it's supposed to be solved, but I thought of a cute hack in the special case where the character set of the strings is limited, e.g. lowercase ASCII only.

Let A be the alphabet used. Precompute the "letter sum" of each string and store it. Then given two strings with letter sums c1 and c2, they cannot have Levenshtein distance k if |c1-c2| > k|A|. This could allow you to skip a lot of rows.
15 or so years ago, my manager at WalMart Stores Information Systems Division was previously a programmer on one of the many finance related teams. Specifically, she worked with gift cards, and one time I asked her how different state laws affected how much money WalMart could recover from those cards. She was delighted to elaborate!

I don't recall the particulars of the answer, but it was eye-opening. She said that they had a team of lawyers whose job was to (try to) keep track of all of the laws, all over the world, that had any bearing on this topic. Not only was it state and federal law, but also county and even city law. (And territories...and military bases....etc.) There were some stipulations about where the card was bought AND where the card was used, if in different jurisdictions. Many of the laws were contradictory. In some cases, none of the money could be reclaimed, and would revert to different local funds. There were effectively endless permutations.

She and her team had to decide what of all of this they would model with code. They could not model all of it, so there was a hybrid of some actions being taken with the code, and the code outputting reports that humans would use to make decisions about actions.

It was eye opening to consider how legally complex many such 'simple' things, like gift cards, are when implemented on a wide scale.

My uneducated guess is that Yuan is still over valued. Based on the personal anecdotes around me, I can see that the government is trying everything to tighten the capital outflow. That's not the case for the reverse direction though.

Everyone in Beijing or Shanghai owning a small condo with 70 lease is literally sitting on a property of nominal value of millions of US dollars. How can that value be justified? People are willing to take even 15% discount to get that assets out of the country.
I found Toastmasters to be fairly reliable for practicing and improving my public speaking skills.

In my city, there are dozens of chapters that vary in quality and expertise. One chapter is really good for people who are shy. Another is for people who are quite advanced and are trying to get on the level of event speaker.

Over a few years, my speech writing and delivery improved to the point where I got compliments during public events. And a friend of mine from the club got to the point where he frequently gets asked to be an MC at friends/family events.

Bolsonaro comes from a time when the country was run by a military dictatorship, and he was part of the military that terrorized the people. He has said openly of a woman who was tortured that “they didn’t go far enough”. He’s truly an evil person and he doesn’t hide it.
I disagree, or at least my experience on private servers hasn't been this. Putting a group together in chat and getting everyone to the instance takes time and work yes, but that generally means you don't bail at the first wipe.

It might not work that way with new players coming in to classic, but making it trivially easy to group and port to an instance has its own problems.
A literary prank that ‘Hansel and Gretel’ was based on a real story
I highly recommend Eliezer Yudkowsky's
Quantum Physics Sequence (of articles):

https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/The_Quantum_Physics_Sequence

According to Everett / Decoherence interpretation, as explained by Eliezer, atomic or subatomic particles are not physically real—let alone macroscopic objects made with them.

What's physically real is the single amplitude distribution over the infinite-dimensional mathematical space of all possible joint configurations of all the particles in the universe. This distribution—as well as boggling the mind—is complex-valued, continuous, differentiable, and evolving with time according to the well known QM equations. Crucially, it may be more or less factorizable over any given subset of its infinitely many dimensions.

"You" and "me" are just two (more or less) factored subspaces of The amplitude distribution.

Therefore, the question of where do the Born probabilities come from (an open question in QM) is shown to be inextricably linked to an understanding of the physical basis of consciousness (another big open question.) The Born probabilities may represent the "amount of consciousness" (of "you", the observer) that is split among newly factored subspaces, every time "you" get further fragmented, aka. decohered, aka. "entangled" with new blobs of amplitude.

I cannot recommend Eliezer's series of articles highly enough.

Not the OP, but you could technically win the popular vote with those same 13 state's voters. When there is overwhelming support for one candidate the electoral college and popular vote would always be exactly the same. It actually only matters on a closely contest election and in that case the edge goes to the person with more broad support.

Indeed testosterone and behavior both affect each other. I have however several reasons why I am skeptical when people focus exclusively on testosterone as effecting behavior.

One larger reason, as given by a professor in neuroendocrinology, is that people and researchers alike tend to view behavior as soft science and hormones as hard science. There has been (and still are) a lot of resistance to the idea that behavior alone can cause biological changes in the body.

The second reason is that again and again, when people try to test a correlation between a hormone and behavior by supraphysiological doses, the predicted behavior does not occur.

The third reason is that the general role of sex hormones is to regulate the body in favor of reproductive success. The generally accepted theory to explain why testosterone goes up by having voted on the winning team, or by winning a competition, or by winning a physical fight, is that the individual perceive themselves as having gained social rank and thus the body adjust testosterone levels accordingly. Any behavior that does not have a clear link to reproductive success is unlikely to be regulated by a sex hormone.

Imagine you are a photographer. You take a photo of something. The photo is covered by copyright. I can't use it without your permission.

Now imagine that I write a book and I include your photo in it. This is an infringement of copyright. I can't distribute my book, containing your photo, without infringing copyright. It doesn't matter how much your photo contributes to my book -- including it in my book and distributing it is infringement. You might even be able to get an injunction to stop me from distributing my book without removing your photo.

Now imagine that you put your photo under a CC "share alike" license. What it says is that, while I don't generally have the right to use your photo in my book, if I decide to license my book using a CC "share alike" license, then you will give me permission to use your photo. To make things simple, you give blanket permission to anyone to use the photo as long as whatever is including the photo is licensed as CC "share alike" -- in that case it is not necessary to get specific permission to use it. Finally, let's say that you make the offer that if I infringe your copyright by including the photo in my project that you will forgive that infringement if I agree to re-license the project under CC "share alike".

Exactly same thing.

This is mind blowing. I never thought about this while ordering coffee through Starbucks app. It’s following the same model as Robinhood.
20 years ago I was working on firmware for cheap narrow band spread spectrum cordless phone IC's.

It's easy to see the mistakes they made. If you look at the early to mid 1990's, there were cheap FM radio IC's that drew a couple of ma. At the same time ISM band microwave IC's were expensive, made of GaAs and just an LNA would cost you 50-100ma.

Wifi did exist back then. But the cost was around $150-200 for a chip set and the power requirements precluded battery operation.

So 'of course' they went with a low power FM radio.

The problem was as you shrink CMOS transistor sizes they get faster. By the late 1990's you could build a direct sequence transceiver IC out of CMOS. The one my group rolled out in 1999 drew about 200mA in receive mode and cost $4/1M

Zigbee came two three years later and the power requirements were down to 25-50mA.

Bluetooth designers completely failed to judge the progress being made in CMOS RF IC design. That was completely obvious to anyone in the industry.

The second problem had to do with the baseband. The Bluetooth baseband has several layers and essentially replicates the USB protocol/driver stack. Notice how easy it was for Microsoft to roll out the USB stack? Yeah total shitshow.

So you had a dumb simple frequency hopping radio married to a complicated baseband.

The rub, out of about two dozen companies that tried to build Bluetooth radios' circa 2000, all but three failed. Because they couldn't get the base band power consumption low enough.

Usually when you design a spec like Bluetooth you get your potential manufacturers on board working on silicon as you design the spec. They didn't.

Notable the Zigbee spec had the same problem with it's baseband and most people solved that problem by ignoring it and just using the radio.

A third problem (which effected Zigbee as well) is the transmit power was too low. Made worse with Bluetooth because the FM radio's sensitivity sucks. Back then I knew from cordless phone stuff that you needed at least 5db of transmit power to get reliable QOS. Bluetooth and first gen Zigbee radio's had less than 0db.

All of the above a small brained primate like myself could have told you.
Anything anything involving money is complicated to a fractal degree. I worked on a system to populate data into an large (well-known international) retail site's order database. Representing the simplest possible concept of "this order had no sales tax" took 18 rows across 4 tables. The complexity was due to similar things you point out - the system had to support combinatorically large numbers of cases and even the concept of "nothing" had to be encoded in dozens of different ways.
