Ok, but that's heading into a circle though. The complaint I thought is that the "correct" method does not result in proportion by population, and some people think that would be better.

Not all of them. Linode has very cheap network, for example.
The link you sent talked about changes in economic freedom... but barely made it clear what they are talking about or measuring. Nevermnind if a site dedicated to global property purchases is likely to be an authority on economic freedom. That site does however say where they get their data: the Heritage Foundation's Economic Freedom Index.

So how does that source characterize Vietnam? "Mostly Unfree", 128 in their ranking of countries. And Hong Kong... "Free", 1 in their rankings... though we'll see how well that holds up over the next few years. So not so close to Hong Kong.

Heritage goes on to say...

"Background

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam remains a Communist dictatorship characterized by repression of dissenting political views and the absence of civil liberties. Economic liberalization began in 1986 with doi moi (renovation) reforms to transition to a more industrial and market-based economy. Vietnam joined the World Trade Organization in 2007 and signed the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership in 2018. Vietnam’s economic growth, based on tourism and manufactured exports, was among the world’s fastest during the decade-long tenure of former Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung. In 2016, Dung was forced out after losing election as General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam. State-managed economic liberalization continues under the leadership of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong."

So while they do say that things are getting better... they aren't exactly calling it Hong Kong just yet.

Or it's a random selection from a vetted pool of individuals. Or it's an elected position from a selection of random individuals.

There are other alternatives than just elected vs appointed.
> Doesn't this effectively make it impossible to correctly reapportion by population though, because without a change in size a number of low population states "should" have < 1 member?

You can define “correctly reapportion” in a way that this is true, but there is no reason to think that was the Constitutional intent.

Which isn't to say I don't think there is a policy problem, I just don't think you can reduce it to incorrect apportionment.
If you need to scale bigger, check out Interana (I am an engineer at Interana). We've created a time series query engine & application. We have clusters with over a trillion events.
Are you using "Your neighbour" as a way of saying "another member of your local labour pool"? It isn't obvious to me that there would be anybody rational in the local labour pool who would willingly argue in favour of reducing their earning potential through moving bargaining balance towards capital by globalizing labour competition.

I mean why should ANY worker want to make less and thus have lower standards of living. Just doesn't make much sense to me.

I personally hope they dont.

Time and time again it's been shown that one of the weakest links for account security is customer support. It's pretty trivial to gather enough information to impersonate someone well enough for most support reps to believe it's actually you.

It's also part of the reason why SMS is so insecure, because legally most phone companies can't not allow you to transfer your number, and the ways they can verify you are you is limited.

If they do allow support account recovery, I hope they allow the ability to disable it for those who don't want the extra attack vectors.
This is true, but I’m not sure having your vote count for a decade, then not count, then count again is all that much better. Note that going in to an election, the potential battleground states are usually known.

Some states haven’t been swing states for a long time, too.
Great. With no electoral college, Wyoming would have 1.44% of the weight California would have towards who was elected. The only thing keeping Wyoming in the Union would be their two senators. Maybe then Wyoming folks should have to pay 1.44% of the Federal Income Tax that Californians pay.

Campaigning for President? Just go to New York, LA, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, and maybe a few other cities.

Maybe city folks can start making their own food while they're at it.
Visiting here is a proxy for overall campaign message initiatives, which includes physical visits, but also ad buy and even shaping the candidates message and platform to better appeal to the swing stage demographic. Arguably the last one is the biggest potential problem since it means some minority has an outside influence on candidates.
The Senate was never intended to be representative of the population. That is specifically why we have both the House and the Senate.
Don’t put words in my mouth.

My problem is that this is a solution looking for a problem. In fact, it’s a solution that will make the problem that some people want to solve far worse.
Wanting their rules to apply in a host country... yeah, that's not a good look.

In contrast, we in the West never expect other countries to do it our way when we visit them... /s
>Is all this money that's being parked in almost no-yielding bonds just going to stay there forever, never to be used?

The money can come back out, however it seems very difficult to see when that'll happen. That being said, if it does happen, I think we'll see a lot of inflation due to the sheer amount of money that would be pouring into the system.
> The losers in the WeWork deal are the landlords, as they're bearing a lot of the risk, and get minimal upside.

Couldn't this be interpreted differently? That is, landlords are having less and less choice. Something from WW is better than an empty building. Is WW a canary of sorts? It tells us about changes in the economy (less growing small to mid-size companies in major metro area?), as well as the health and strength there of?

And if building owners are own details space their choices are less robust. WW might not pay out well, but it's better than nothing.

Balkanize definition: to break up (a region, a group, etc.) into smaller and often hostile or uncooperative units.

I thought it was the basis and strength of node... (However I am too scared to use node or node toolchains: I fear trojans since I don't trust all dependencies).
It seems to me that if Rogan hadn’t ever had Alex Jones on then the author would be a genuine fan. But because he has had Jones on more than once, that undoes any redeemable qualities he might see in Rogan. Which is kind-of ironic because that single-minded, “if you don’t believe exactly as I do about everything then you’re evil” world view is a major thing Rogan rails against.
"China started setting up the Skynet surveillance system in 2005. In 2015, it achieved 100 percent coverage of the capital city Beijing. As per estimates, China will have close to 300 million CCTV cameras covering the country by 2020."

Fact is indeed stranger than fiction..
This cuts both ways, why should someone who lives in an area with hardly any immigrants be making policy for people who live in places like LA which are full of them?
It's actually not better than Blizzard or EA's client at this point. I will agree it is better than Epic and Bethesda launchers.
Isn't the program also partially being tailored to those states?

The issue I'm having is that Nvidia driver 418 doesn't support my HDMI out (still haven't figured out why), but 390 has atrocious power management. So when I'm mobile, I switch to 418 (restart), and at my desk back to 390 (restart again).
A lot of people don't really understand what that is either though...
Yes, and it's part of the point of the electoral college. It's a weighted average of the number of congress members from your state*

*and also includes Washington D.C.
Nobody cares about visiting. They can craft their policies to entirely exclude or screw over states that aren't worth their time. For example, favor specific industries over others that are heavy in one state vs another. They'll do that anyway, but may think twice if they need to build a coalition of smaller states vs just winning the popular vote.
There are other relational databases like MemSQL or Clickhouse that use distributed column-oriented architectures that are much better at large scale analytics and aggregations.

Postgres is getting pluggable storage engines in the next version (and already has foreign data wrappers) so that can at least lead to a better storage design.

Eh, maybe. With Rust it's plausible to rebuild piece by piece.
I wonder how it compares with InfluxData's telegraf. It seem to gather a subset of the metrics collected by telegraf, but maybe it requires far less resources or is meant for scenarios where very frequent measurements are needed.
I thought McDonalds owns a lot of real estate? WeWork just had leases. WeWork is more like hotel chains that have long term leases or licenses for the buildings.
Not a bad idea. The only other hurdle would be ISDs would want to have proper support contracts which is hard to have without some form of a fee. Perhaps the community version can have a paid "enterprise" version?

> In the Python world, you can install an "extra" along with a package. So you can make the deliberate decision to omit Unicode case folding from your CommonMark parser. Maybe something like that is possible with a crate?

This is definitely possible in Rust with Cargo crate features! [0]

For instance in a game library like quicksilver you can opt in to WebAssembly support, images, fonts, audio handling, etc. Then the image or audio library themselves can put formats and codecs behind feature flags for instance. Each crate then uses conditional compilation to branch out these features at compilation time. More commonly as an end-user, test modules use a special conditional compilation macro [1].

It’s pretty simple that the reason to give disproportionate power to small states was to get them to join the USA.

I’m not sure it’s possible to convince small states to give up power now that they have it. Although I’m sure they may want to cecede. Can you imagine the immense power that Wyoming would have as a sovereign nation? Or Delaware? They would be protected from threat by being surrounded by the US and could become havens for activities not allowed in the US. Basically become super Switzerlands.
Maine and Nebraska apportion their electoral votes on a per-Congressional district basis. But because Congressional districts can be heavily gerrymandered this is not a substitute for a truly proportional allocation scheme.

They're gorgeous though. Because they're so low circulation, when you do get to see one they look brand-new. My father got one from a currency exchange this year and when he mentioned that I had to take a picture of it: https://imgur.com/a/aiaZmP2

Edit: I suppose since it was an exchange outside of Europe, they probably wanna put them in circulation before they lose legal tender status.
The NPVIC was introduced into state legislators in 2006, so it's pretty hard to write off as just a reaction to Trump. And while there certainly is a lot of open hate for Trump, it's the fact that he lost the popular vote and won anyway that kicked this back up again. The Bush election in 2000 was the first time that'd happened since 1888. Having it happen again just 16 years later -- and with Clinton winning the popular vote by a bigger margin than Gore did in 2000 or Cleveland did in 1888! -- and this is to be expected.

And, sure, it benefits the Democrats -- but given that population trends over the last few decades have all been about migration to urban areas from rural ones, I think it's at least worth asking whether keeping the electoral college and giving ever fewer voters a disproportionately ever-greater say over the country is truly what we want.

If another national election goes the "lose popular election, win election anyway" route within the next few cycles, this is going to start getting a lot of noise around it.
Temporal table = state of the data in the table at a particular time. Very useful for auditing or seeing how data has changed between different periods.

Timeseries = data with a primary key that includes time, potentially with other time properties. For example, metrics are commonly associated with a value at some time.

I'd prefer to describe it as slashing a dead horse's rotten corpse with a katana. As the bloat and flesh of the ecosystem has disintegrated we're able to observe the framework more clearly - the bone structure of the horse, if you will. Using the katana we are making precise, incisive blows to the remnants as we extract meaning from it's corpse - or lessons learned, if you will.

...perhaps I'm taking the analogy too far?
I'm not sure that's actually true. There was a great graphic a few years back that showed party allegiance by state over time. You could see how most states used to be fairly split between both parties and how they frequently swung from party to party between elections. However, in the 80s or so many states started to align more closely with one party. Given the duration for which that has been going on, I wonder if that's the natural end state of a defacto two party system.
That's why GOG.com is my first choice. They even provide a nice Steam-like installer (unfortunately, no Linux version of the installer), while letting you download your games DRM-free, archivable and standalone.
You should be careful about the word "small" here. What you mean is least populous, but geographically, they are large.

Thus, the question is: Do you want the majority of the USA geography being controlled by the will of people least knowledgeable about it?

If you eliminate the electoral college you give political control of resources to those who have absolutely NO physical control of those resources and yet still suffer the impact of their environmental influence.

What I mean is, people in California, Texas, and New York would push all the bad things to the rural states and take all the good parts, leaving those who live in the rural areas to feel the full brunt of those decisions. Take Louisiana as an example. It's been decimated by everyone who doesn't live there.
I've been around the block, and I hope I can give you some perspective from both sides.

I'm glad you brought up git. Source control is central to modern software development. If you don't have it on your resume, someone might think "hmm, have they really done much programming?" But if you do put it, it will obvious from your resume that you are just out of school, so no one is going to expect you to teach a git class.

As a more experienced person, I won't expect you know the internals of git.

Non-technical people screening your resume aren't going to know the difference between you and Linus, though, so you need to put it. Don't worry, it's not false advertising.

If the job description is back-end tooling at Github or Gitlab, I'll expect more. Similar to the difference between knowing how to use a spreadsheet, and having written a spreadsheet.

Now, if it's something crucial to the job,say your C skills writing software for micro-controllers at an embedded electronics company (like what Nest or Pebble used to be). You can't fudge here. Nothing will help but lots of practice.

Good luck!

P.S. For your first job, focus more on figuring out what you want from your working life. What kind of manager, what kind of work, etc. Yeah, you'll need to pick up some buzzwords to add to your resume, but it's not as important as becoming good at the fundamentals of what you are doing.
Man, beef up this content marginally and it would be a great script for Netflix series pilot: Sex in the City for the thinking man! I, for one, would watch that. Or you can take 1-2 people (men and women) each episode, beef up their profiles and we follow them to their dates.
> The slave states wanted population based representation

No states wanted population-based representation, or all did, depending on how you look at it: that is, no one wanted to count non-assimilated Native American population, all of them wanted to count the remaining free population, and there was a dispute about how to count the people that the slave states weren't going to treat as people and, particularly, certainly weren't going to let vote.
It would be California and New York deciding the fate of all other states. You would definitely see a mass succession.
One somewhat related example I can think of was how the v8 javascript implementation switched from a baseline compiler to a baseline interpreter. The interpreter version has less startup latency (because compiling to bytecode is less work) and uses less RAM (because bytecodes are more compact).

It isn't exactly about inling but it is an example where optimizing for size also optimized for speed at the same time.
It isn't the default assumption. It is the conclusion of decades of research and analysis that have sought alternative explanations and been left with bias.
Can you not do this by setting CARGO_TARGET_DIR to something universal? Maybe there is a downside here that I haven't considered.
Thanks! I didn't realize that techies cared so much about how thin their laptop is.

Maybe I'm an outlier because I'd rather have more ports and convenience than a thin laptop. In fact, I don't like very thin devices because I feel like the thinner they get, the harder they are to repair and the easier they are to break.
The electoral college was just a kludge to allow elections before modern instant long distance communication became a thing. The gold standard for democracy was always "one person, one vote", but nowadays there's a lot of people that consider their personal gain more important than being democratic and those people (the Republican party mostly) will try to hang on to the electoral college, no matter the cost apparently.

Can You Meme Your Way into Venture Capital? Maybe
I'm not sure what the correct answer is. Winning a national contest is always going to be about coalition-building all said and done. Trump changed the calculus on the traditional GOP coalition (going after unions -- once considered a Democrat lock), and won states he "shouldn't" have. Coalitions line up with states in a lot of cases. If Democrats started pandering to farmers (I can see this happening), the midwest might look different.

I don't see this as a "states not counting" problem as much as the issues that come up in national elections affect different populations in different ways.

If there was a national popular vote, there would still be people who feel disenfranchised because the candidates don't see their chosen issues as vital to their coalition.

Sure, let's do like Russia and ban opposition candidates[0] from running in the first place. Russia was always founded on liberty and is a living example of it forever. No "blood and soil" or eugenics garbage from the Russians...Yes, that's sarcasm.

The Russian Revolution established a control-freak government that hated freedom; Lenin was a self-annointed genius. The USSR failed because the incentives were misaligned.

It's worth noting that the same thing happened to the Democrats in 2000, and hadn't happened in the US at that point for over 100 years.
Looked at from the perspective of the Democratic party: they have won the popular vote 4 out of the last 5 elections, but only won the presidency twice. It's not surprising the party's frustration with the Electoral College would continue to grow.

Metaphorically it's a verb. It is the things you do or not. For example, fact check. The problem is, the belief that it's a noun and a noun one can assign to themselves; that has no formal definition.

If we want to user the word journalism / journalist properly and fairly then the easy way to do is to think of it as being a verb - like leadership. Leader isn't a title. It's actions you take. Just like journalism.

I think you're conflating whether or not there's correlation/causation with whether or not the result is significant. If a stock appreciates or depreciates at the same time that something related to that stock happens, a relationship between the two is not an unreasonable hypothesis.

Of course, there's still the matter of actually validating that hypothesis, and examining whether said hypothesis actually holds true or the coincident timing really is just coincidence and nothing more (or, indeed, if the timing really was coincident between the two events, e.g. whether or not the stock move happened before the event that allegedly "caused" it).

And of course, even if the event did cause the stock move, that's still a separate concern from the long term impact of that stock move. It could very well just be a temporary blip, or it could be a harbinger of some more significant change.
The primary way I can see to address this is to make packaging more difficult. Are there other steps that a language can take to avoid this problem?
