That's because a system JRE is the old way of doing things -- and moving away from that wasn't arbitrary; desktops are encouraging app stores, and servers are using containers -- and we want our OpenJDK developers (I'm one of those) to focus on the new way of doing things. Oracle doesn't have control over an ecosystem that could generate billions, like Google with Android or Apple with iOS, so to pay the hundreds of full-time developers who develop OpenJDK, we charge those who want to do things the old way for support. So if you don't want to switch to the new way of doing things, you have a few options:

* Download a JRE with an installer from someone else who builds and distributes it; I don't know about certified distributions, but I think Adopt ships something JRE-like.

* Buy support from Oracle (and help fund OpenJDK's development).

* Build a JRE yourself from the JDK and package it with an installer.

I think that's reasonable.

You have to buy a safe, you have to have a location to store it, you need to secure the location. You need to ensure that the safe is temperature and humidity controlled, so that the currency doesn't mold, rot etc.

These costs add up. Once you've done all of those things, you're essentially a bank.
Additionally, disclosure of one's vote can't be provable, or the failure to prove you voted "correctly" can itself invite retaliation.

The video never makes the claim that underground farming will replace conventional farming. In fact, the owner even acknowledges that underground farming is only suitable for some crops and not others.

Many people are commenting about how wasteful it is to use LEDs instead of sunlight. But again, as the owner says in the video, consumers expect produce all year round. That might not be possible in winter or poor light. The alternative is to import out-of-season food from abroad. Or to return to eating seasonal produce only. How many consumers are willing to accept that? Not many I'm guessing.

Also, the owner of the farm states he saves over 70% water use over conventional farming. That's a massive saving.

So yes, underground farming won't solve the world's food problems but it seems like it could play a role alongside conventional farming.

There is one thing missing from the video though: What do the crops taste like?

What about something like a tax rebate for high voter turnouts as percentage of the state's total eligible voter population? The amount would have to be large enough to be consequential. Making it based on a percentage of population would give small states a good chance. It might also end up being an extra pressure on states to open more polling stations nearer to voters. If a percentage of total eligible voter population is skewed too far in favor towards smaller states (easier to organize, less polling stations, or whatever else), then some combination of that plus total voter turnout might be more fair. This idea might also take advantage of the love that team sports receive.
If you look up a random house on Zillow[0] and scroll to the bottom on the right in the "Neighborhood" section, it will tell you about how much it's gone up/down in the last year and their prediction for next year. I've looked at a lot of houses and the 10% is sort of my mental average of what I've seen around the Bay Area. That house for example has a 13% down predation, but each "Neighborhood" is different.

Right, I was making the assumption in this case that a driver's license would be sufficient for voter identification and that if someone didn't have a driver's license, then obtaining one or an equivalent is a burden that many poor people cannot afford.
I think before we change the system we might want to get politicians to actually do their job and represent the people in their district. With all these people voting by mail and all these government provided or subsidized phones and internet connections it's not only trivial but should be mandatory to quantify and qualify what each person who votes wants as a matter of a public record of accountability rather than having some party line being towed. If the politicians were doing their job and not serving some party or political agenda, the electoral college I think would work just fine. Popular vote/mob rules? I don't think so. The majority should never rule over the minority, and the only good government is a democracy where the majority vote in the best interest of all citizens and compromise in order to do so. Or as I like to sum it up, don't confuse a coop game with a competitive game.
Ah, okay then. Coincidentally I clicked around and mostly saw mercury and a couple seleniums, so it seemed like mercury was the biggest issue. I wonder what the others are caused by... I'm guessing industrial effluents.

Or people are smart and only pick names of people who haven't voted in quite some time. 2 out of 3 people don't vote. If you have ever volunteered at a precinct you would know that it's literally just an excel sheet of names and you're supposed to check someone off. It's very easy to check the wrong line and your failsafe is easily explained away as a mistake instead of raising any sort of alarm. There is no one investigating that people actually voted.

No...I don't think it works that way. You can't bootstrap the likelihood of one hypothesis by proposing a counterhypothesis. The existence of the Easter Bunny doesn't become more likely because someone hypothesizes that there is a global conspiracy to cover up the existence of said Bunny.

1) For anyone wondering, yes, many of these companies would have the same (or worse) problems if they tried to manufacture in the US. Our domestic supply chains for a lot of industries have dried up (or never developed). US factories also usually have higher minimum quantities and take much longer to tool up.

2) I'm surprised the article didn't mention Africa at all. A lot of Chinese industrialists are investing in Africa, and I suspect that Chinese-style supply chains have a good chance of developing there. If I was looking for a country to for long-term manufacturing strategies right now, I'd be taking a hard look at African countries.

Throwaway account for reasons that will be clear.

Few years ago, used to be have a 820+ credit score, earning £30k a year, had one barely used credit card that was always fully paid off, I would struggle to get approval for loans or overdraft, etc.

My depression and anxiety came back, got into reckless behaviour and drugs for a while, three credit cards, payday loans, random holidays on credit for no reason, down to 400s or so now. My banking app has started aggressively suggesting mortgages to me since last month, every time I open the app.

To those worried I'm turning things around, cut down on drugs quite a bit, payday loans all paid off, £2k left in credit card debt and will start earning £60k a year once I start my new job next month.

Conversely, there are many issues where California can wag the dog by instituting state-specific policies which effectively drag the whole country with it.

Some people like what California does with its state-specific policies. Some people even choose to live there.

If the Executive branch was less powerful and the States retained more of what they were originally intended to oversee for themselves, I might have less of a problem with California liberals electing the Executive for the whole country.

As it is, California has 53 of 435 seats in Congress and 55 electoral votes. The disparity with Wyoming is just because the minimum is 3 per state, and Wyoming’s population is minuscule.

If you eliminate the per-state minimum I expect there would be large geographical areas of the country which would eventually become uninhabitable / unsustainable.
Bureaucracy and lack of direction are the two issues that ail most government projects. It will have to be a new department, which operates outside bureaucratic reach but is yet answerable ( can't be like the defense special projects with unlimited budgets and no culpability).

It's a little unfortunate that some of the cool features of Rust need to be put into the "use sparingly" category. I know that polymorphism, async, etc. should be used judiciously anyway, but still.

One recent case we saw a similar tradeoff was the observation that the unicase dep adds 50k to the binary size for pulldown-cmark. In this case, the CommonMark spec demands Unicode case-folding, and without that, it’s no longer complying with the standard. I understand the temptation to cut this corner, but I think having versions out there that are not spec-compliant is a bad thing, especially unfriendly to the majority of people in the world whose native language is other than English.

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?

That said, I think this is a non-feature in the spec, if anything. I see the value in recommending (but not requiring) Unicode normalization, but I don't see the added value of Unicode-aware case-insensitivity. Maybe it's more important in non-Latin text.
That is completely fair, and it makes a lot of sense if you have that longer term mindset.

I think that for the amount of property I could afford now, I would probably want to trade up for a larger property after about 5-15 years once I have kids. Or I might take a job in NYC around then as well. So my outlook is a bit more short term, and the flexibility of renting carries a bit of a premium.

The benefit of your approach is that you will probably weather any short term decrease in market value of your property and make up for it over time. That definitely works if you are willing to really commit to an area for a long time

I would not mind that
The top level of US federal agencies has been a skeleton crew since 2017. Much of the reported data was supposed to have been provided by agencies which have been hamstrung due to a lack of leadership in appointed positions. Whether intentionally or not, many of those appointed positions are those that carry the responsibility of ensuring that the congressional mandates of the agency are carried out. Without appointed officials in those positions, that duty falls to "acting" personnel who essentially end up working two full-time jobs. In some agencies this problem is magnified because acting personnel are not authorized to hire administrative support staff. Imagine a company like Facebook eliminating their entire upper management and allowing randomly selected employees to fill in for those positions, whether they are qualified or not.
> when the majority of Americans (and I believe the world in general now) live an urban life.

I think you're underestimating the figures. 80.7% of Americans lived in urban areas according to the 2010 census. Estimates for the entire world are over 50% for over a decade now (since 2007, to be more accurate). It increases slowly but steadily, so we were at about 55.27% in 2018. It's going to be about 68% by 2050 and about 85% by 2100.

I'd argue he didn't pay his debt to society and was not rehabilitated. His previous sentence and it's execution were a complete joke. It's well documented that he continued to keep incredibly young companions and surrounded himself with plenty of "art" of scantily clad very young women.

Even if both of those had been appropriate, his sentence fair and he was making obvious efforts to avoid past behavior, you couldn't be sure that you weren't taking money that was generated from the trafficking of other human beings. That's where Ito fucked up, plain and simple.

Small Penis Rule
"doesn't mean that we should give the rest of the state disproportionate power."

Is it in the best interests of all the people to have proportionate power? I believe so.

The EC is an abstraction, which philosophically and practically takes choice away from individuals. Population centers having more power than rural areas (even when they are the geographical majority, otherwise) is a proxy for land-owners having more power. While, ironically, land-owners (like farmers) often tend to be poorer than city-dwellers in absolute terms, I don't believe they should have some sort of relative power difference.
Journalists specifically, among college graduates generally: https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=37.

In 2015-16, there were 1.9 million bachelors degrees awarded, of which about 1.1 million were in business, engineering, science, math, psychology, or health fields, all of which would involve significant math/statistics. A further 160,000 were in social sciences, which typically involve a significant statistics component these days. So only a minority, 35-45% graduate in fields like communications and journalism, where math would not necessarily be part of the curriculum.
Really disappointed there’s no comments here. I scrolled this whole thread to see if anyone had talked about coffee.

It got me thinking because I know someone who never drank coffee in their life and lived a pretty full life nonetheless otherwise ... they’re over 100 as of recently and still self mobile, super active, sharp as a tack. She even had quite a few children.

I consume like 4-5 actual brewed coffees per day. Am I doomed?

I don't think this is a valid reason to continue with the electoral college - but it might be a good reason to slowly dissolve the concept of states and instead let local and national politics interact directly - the state level is where the needs of different localities are being erased more than the national level.

Local politicians should be concerned with their locality - national politicians should be concerned with the nation and making sure that no localities are presented with problems beyond the scope of their power... the state sorta does both - but it also serves to mask local issues within the state's representation up to the national level. It's why I'm rather fond of the house and less fond of the senate - as a former Vermonter I had intensely good representation at the national level - I had one house rep and two senators which were concerned with representing me specifically - but when I resided in MA our rep was concerned with local issues but the Senators were more focused on pushing forth agendas that the state-house was pushing out... so the representation of individual localities were lost on those senators.
I disagree, but I respect you for daring to answer yes on that question. Then you are not a hypocrite.
The slave states wanted population based representation.

For instance the 3/5 compromise was because the slave states wanted 5/5 and the free states wanted 0/5.

Virginia had the most Representatives in the first US congress because they had the largest population. It was small states like New Hampshire and Rhode Island that benefited from the 2 senators per state rule.
Have you ever noticed the difference between a CEO with an engineering background and CEO without one?

Sure, a CEO doesn't need to be an engineer because the CEO doesn't do any engineering, but he understands the fundamental forces that shape the success of the engineering projects and he respects the process.
I've noticed these revisions from time to time. Is there anywhere that tracks them? I'd be curious to know how often positive figures are not so positive?

If rural issues aren't handled then you'll have even more urbanization and even more expensive housing. The odds are already attacked against rural life.

> Rates didn't suddenly skyrocket after the ECB announced the end of QE.

That's because the QE program only stopped increasing the ECB's assets. When bonds that are held by the ECB mature, the equivalent amount in new bonds is still being re-bought.

I don't think negative deposit rates are really needed to have negative bond yields. You only need a bond buyer (e.g. the QE program) who drives up bond prices beyond the face value + all coupons. Negative interest rates were just a natural step in the progression of lower rates, zero rates, negative rates, and QE. The next thing will be some form of helicopter money.
Another way of looking at it is to note that New York City is the most important city in the history of world civilization, and the global center of media, finance, culture, commerce, fashion, and art, while the rest of the state is mostly stripmalls and like a few dozen people plus a confusingly located NFL team, so maybe we should let the millions of people living in the city run things?
