What a contorted argument. I assume that the British empire wasn’t a modern state, and that history is less than one century long (and full of holes).

No, but there are no other cards produced by Apple. Now that Apple has a card, people have to complain, because Apple.
The majority of stuff leaving Euston leaves on the West Coast Main Line. This nearly touches the Great Western Main Line near Old Oak Common - with just Kensal Green Cemetery separating the two. Having a large junction with GWML, Crossrail and Overground traffic would appear to be very appealing when it comes to giving additional choice to travellers.

As for not planning another exit route out of Euston, I'd imagine that there's a significant planning headache in routing new tunnels around the existing infrastructure in and around Euston, and that having the line shadow the existing WCML is much less painful to both plan and develop.

Paddington has had a significant amount of work done to it recently with the Crossrail work going into it. Though it doesn't appear to suffer the access issues that Euston has it may prove to be a headache if HS2 traffic was supposed to arrive alongside GWML traffic.

Well just dropping a link to a news article or a study wouldn't really change things. If you look at who's the one producing major digital innovations it's still USA. Sure the Nordic countries are smaller but it's hard to compete against countries like USA with well educated people with strong work ethic when you're pushing in half the hours.

Sweden sure is doing well with digital innovations but can't say that the rest of the Nordics are performing equally as well. USA still has Silicon Valley which outperforms every other region in the world.

Yes, I'm from China mainland.

Just like some western opinion that why Chinese people don't fight their government for democracy and free speech, I really can not understand why HK people don't fight oligarchs for goods prices and living house.

Every few years, some protests happen in Hong Kong, None of those protests is aiming to the oligarchs, some people do hate Li, but the most far they can do is ridiculing and complaining.

>If that's the case i can't see why the CCP is complaining they lost control of the narrative via the press, if they never had it in the first place

the CCP attached great importance to propaganda from the beginning (the 1930s). At that time, they do have the advantage of propaganda (compare to the Kuomintang), and now the CCP has lost its ability and skills, the official media of CCP are barely welcome by Chinese, very many young men dislike them.
Those years what the CCP propaganda department can do is only to delete and forbidden the contents they dislike, and this usually has the opposite effect - more and more people don't trust them

I'm from New Zealand. What's our major companies? None of them employ more than 20,000 employees globally. Sure that's a lot of people to lose a job, but the big companies are building, groceries, airlines, and telecommunications. If the companies go under, the demand for the products doesn't disappear.

As for unemployment rate, 3.9%. Pretty close to the UK, USA, China.

As for tax, on $100K USD, you'd be taxed 28.3% on your income, and 15% on your consumption via GST.

"the Washington needle' I'll have to start calling it that.

You confused me because you reference Washington, DC and Seattle, Washington; which has the Space Needle.

The USACE completed the original work on the Washington Monument so it makes sense that they would help with the repairs. The US government is a patch work agencies that have historically been used to funnel federal money into state and local projects. Trying to understand the 'reason' an agency does something is usually a maddening history lesson in bureaucracy.
In my experience going from two to three was a bigger change overall than one to two. Primarily because the kids now outnumber the adults. Also, particularly while they're little, you now have more kids than one parent has hands. So mom/dad can't physically restrain/direct all the kids by themselves. One to two felt to me like roughly a doubling of work. And that was when we felt like we weren't sure how much more we could handle. Then with our third it felt like the exponential increase you mention and we laughed at our previous feelings. The same strategies and patterns will scale from one to two but not necessarily to three because you get outnumbered. So three felt like more of a sea change.

At the same time, the mental adjustment was easier. None to one was the biggest mental adjustment for me (wow, I'm a parent now! Oh God help I'm responsible for keeping another human alive). One to two and two to three were more like changes in degree rather than a complete paradigm-shift mentally. For number two and three I've already worked through the reality that I'm now a father.

Age difference has to play some role as well. Our three are very close in age. Maybe the experience is different when there is more distance between them.

Youtube's UI is a fucking disaster, like most of Google's interfaces tbh. To this day, I don't know how to get to a list of all my videos; I either literally google for it, or just click around randomly until I finally find it.

It doesn't help that the Google+ profile they forced on me _also_ has a YouTube account, and I've uploaded some videos to the wrong one, so I get to do the dance twice.
My point is that any argument about the DMV being a bad place to get a voter id applies even stronger to the (arguably) more important action of getting a driver's license.

If one accepts the argument with regards to a voter id, then why would they reject it with regard to a license?

WAIT until you have this offer buttoned-up and in writing. A change in your employment status may trigger a red flag with the offering company.

Relative to your notice-- It's generally good form to give them 2-4 weeks heads-up. That being said, you can also suggest "or at your earliest convenience". Informally, say I can wrap things up here and be out by close of business today.

And they burn their garbage, turning thin-film plastics into fuel pretty much as cleanly as the stock used to make the plastic. I much prefer that to making a huge hill with poorly-compacted trash, covering with soil and claiming "problem solved".

Their usage of plastic is higher in some specific instances (omiyage, cookie or snack packages, and convenience stores come to mind), but equivalent to North America in others (standard meat comes in a shrink-wrapped styrofoam tray, vegetables/fruit come loose or a single layer of packaging, grocery stores charge for plastic bags). Despite the meme, I don't think their plastic usage is all that significantly higher outside a few specific instances.

It is not there to protect small states, it is there to protect from super large states. As in, no matter how big you get or how lopsided your political apparatus is the state cannot absolutely tip the balance.

> Why is one of the largest core open source repositories centralized and private? Why are we so dependent on AWS, Google and others for large chunks of Internet services to be accessible?

> There is a deeper question here than just the outages; but rather why they affect so many people.

The answer to these seems so obvious to me perhaps I'm missing something - Outside the centralized services the solutions are fragmented (ie the decentralized solutions are used by a lot of people but are not large by definition).

I use my own Linux virtual server (as it happens, not in AWS although I have no anti-AWS beef) to host my private websites and my git repos. There are a million services that do this kind of hosting and people use all kinds of solutions like this. You will never hear about my private git repo being down because only I care when that happens.

That is subtly different from what I wrote. :) I wrote that no one who were open about it would be unable to find a job. If you told your interviewer that your only objective is to maximize salary they would (rightly) treat you as a sociopath. A company whose only objective is to minimize salaries (and therefore maximize profits) is also a "sociopath" but that is somehow acceptable.

Re-masters/releases are some of the cheapest games to produce. Therefore my money would be on them most certainly releasing the next expansions in the series remastered as well.

Whether the customer-base for such a remake game series is primarily predatory on the current 'modern' game remains to be seen. Some retakes have been far more successful than their original bloodlines. Everyone always references OSRS, as that is also an MMO and therefore the most comparable, but think about the successes of the 'Age of Empires II' series still going strong where AoE3 was not longlived.

This is simply wrong. There is nothing in the spec stating that.
The art style hasn’t changed

But it has, that's what many people are commenting on. His last two games looked much better than his current game. It could just be the luck of the draw with regards to which artists showed up rather than a conscious choice, but his new game clearly has a different look than his previous game.
You have to obey speed of light latency, and that means putting compute in RAM right next to the data. Key is to have a reusable fabric so all the TSMC customers can pop their own chips in RAM, especially ASICS and micro-FPGAs.
I dispute the "better business results" claim, I don't think that's factually true. But let's assume it is, why then is wealth so much more concentrated[0] in the US?

Let's assume that the US did have "better business results" and let's also assume that that is the result of worse working conditions. Why then are the workers, working in worse conditions, not benefiting from it directly?

Seems like, if that were true, the US is working average workers harder so that the ultra-wealthy can get even wealthier. Does that benefit society at large?

PS - I'd like to link this, called "The Nordic Model"[1] discusses a lot of good (and bad) about that part of the world.

Yes it’s a great idea, and mine are still young (3, 2 and 2 months)!

And nowhere did the founders say that the electoral college was intended to counteract it.

Unlike most people today trying to come up with justifications for an obviously broken system, the founders knew that minority rule is worse than majority rule.

In every document where the framers discuss "tyranny of the majority", it is clear that their solution is not minority rule, it is CONSENSUS. That is why the most important functions of government: constitutional changes, impeachments, censorship, rule changes, and veto overrides, require supermajorities.

You don't overcome tyranny of the majority by letting minorities win. That's just regular tyranny.
> That's not really true. Once you exclude people who died in childhood the average life expectancy shoots up.

An entertaining use of the word "true".

Yes, if you exclude a lot of the data, the average changes :)

Sarcasm aside, that is an important point in average life span statistics, but doesn't change the point that preindustrial life was "Nasty, brutish and short", as the old saying goes.

Also, 1850s England was the richest place on earth, almost a century into industrialism. Already a vastly elevated existence compared to our "natural state".
This drives me bonkers. Tomatoes in little plastic crates, bananas is plastic bags, (bananas come with their own really great packaging!

Reading this makes me feel less bad, I tend to think I'm making excuses for myself and/or just being lazy. Especially because I also have to do some tech support stuff, side meetings, etc, while trying to work on (at least one) project simultaneously, the actual programming part suffers first.

Some days I just can't get the programming wheels turning, and a lot of the time it's just because I keep getting interrupted or can't focus with noise around me. God forbid I work from home when I have a hard deadline so interruptions are at a minimum...

I'll second Mullvad. Their interface is dead simple and the list of supported platforms/protocols is great. Quite permissive with 5 connections and port forwarding options. They actually detail how they attempt to never log the payment -> account link for most payment methods on their site. The account has no authentication, it's just an account number with no other identifying information.

They also list all their servers so you can modify your config to have any combination of servers/locations to use and fall back to.
