> Their world will go down in flames but everything else will likely continue as normal.
> These opportunities still exist, the financial world of central banks is (these days) unrelated to this.

It's not unrelated at all. It's the central banks policies that are pushing the economy out of balance. These policies obfuscate the real risks that come with investing, like defaults and money-losing investments. Greece, a country close to default a few years ago and with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 180% in a currency it cannot print manages to have a 10Y yield of ~2%.

Not predicting any doomsday but I believe in the upcoming years EU banks will slowly push the negative interest rates down to consumers, as they have no alternative. Their business model of borrowing-short and lending-long is no longer sustainable.

Also, on the long run, these policies have the effect of shrinking the middle-class, increasing inequality and polarising societies.

Yes but maybe we can reform the system to make US more democratic. This question is about why this has been this way, rather it's about whether it's worth to change it even it was originally justified. Are people in Wyoming willing to leave the union if their votes are exactly equal to Californians?
Good point about low income, homeless. We would have to figure that out.

I envision a database of template forms that make it easy for a school to get started. Also, a way for a parent to digitize a form on their own, then share it with other parents.
They aren’t free to leave the union though. The last time the states disagreed on this a rebellion was put down violently by the north.

> Insanity is the wrong term, because it would imply repeating something that has already failed.

However popular that aphorism is, it isn't actually the definition of insanity.
Probably roughly the same incentives any state has ever had to join and remain in a federation. Things like free trade and movement among states and a combined military. One of the incentives to remain in a federation should not be the ability to disproportionately influence the federal government compared to other member states.
This is somewhat balanced by representation in the other house of Congress.

It’s not only the US which has to balance rural vs urban electorates. Some are even further down the spectrum like Japan where rural areas have even larger influence than cities compared to other democracies.

But in a way it makes sense. Without people in the countryside the people in the cities would have little to eat. Most countries go to some lengths to ensure some modicum of food security/self-sufficiency.

It's generally not possible to release a fix without effectively disclosing the vulnerability. It's just too easy for people to deduce what the vulnerability was by looking at the patch.
In practice this doesn't come up a lot. Say you have a hypertable with measurement(time, device_id, value) and a device table with (device_id, device_manufacturer, device_type). Timescale fully support a foreign-key from the measurement table into the devices table. This is a common usage. A FK from another table which references a measurement row is not supported, but is also uncommon. To see why note that a part of the primary-key of the measurement table is time and so conceptually the only type of table that would want a FK into it is also a time-based table, and so the only real usage is a 1-to-1 relation. That is also uncommon and can be gotten-around with normalization.
There are rural concerns that cities don't really care about, should they be ignored?
Are you privy to the hiring practices of Microsoft corporate? No? Then why does the contracting process mean anything
as tinfoil hat as it is, i personally believe that somewhere out there in the world, there is already a sentient and conscious AGI capable of bringing about the technological singularity but it is either being intentionally kept away from the public for now as a hidden asset, or possibly just as likely, the entity running or maintaining it isn't aware that it is such as of yet. granted i have no proof to support such claims, but when you have nation state actors with budgets of several billions of dollars and the general reach and influence that they can possess, well, it sorta makes it easy to see how something like that could happen. cf military black budget products

The alternative is that it's an appointed position. That won't be less political.
Disable the Steam service. Run Steam only on a separate user session with limited rights (no admin and no access to your files). So essentially you'd have to manually switch user, via the login screen, to play your games.
That context for those statements is the voter ID boogeyman, which is 100% bullshit.

Machine politics and the nonsense behind it is a form of vote fraud. While southern states have a long history of denying African Americans the ability to vote, states where county politics controls voting like New York are also problematic.

More directly, there are plenty of schemes to fraudulently get votes counted, from absentee ballot fraud in nursing homes to voting irregularities in religious communities.
Cruise was a small startup that got at least basic self driving working before they sold to GM. IIRC it was <10 people when I rode in one of their converted Audis. Lots of startups are working on NLP. I wouldn't be so pessimistic.
Downvotes usually equilibrate "correctly" over time. Best response to downvotes is to re-read and see if anything said was wrong or inflammatory, and if not, just wait it out.

In general, I'd say that using proper capitalization and avoiding walls of text - stripping down to your actual point - would help your comments.

This is likely a reaction to the lack of accountability for those in power. For most of these things, the court of public opinion is the only available option left for any hint of accountability. The courts cannot be counted on for it. The legislature cannot be counted on for it.

The way to fix this would be by introducing more accountability, but the national review would oppose such things as 'unneeded regulation'.

The widespread feeling now is that if you are rich and powerful, you do not face the consequences for your actions. There are some pretty good reasons for feeling that way too.

My hypothesis is that if we started increasing accountability, we would see a decrease to the type of behavior you're describing.
They should be considered proportionally to the amount of people affected.
So you are basically saying it doesn't work because people in the US just don't care if there is obvious bullshit going on. Okay, great (or not so great for the self-acclaimed forefront of democracy), but why should that change if the votes aren't anonymous anymore? Why should people suddenly start to care if the results actually make any basic sense and aren't obviously either manipulated or erroneous?

Any precinct reporting more votes than possible given the numbers of eligible voters is recounted. If the recounts can't manage to arrive at results that make any sense at all the entire precinct is ignored. Where's the problem?
I am not a materialist, I am a physicalist. And la-la land is just a fit metaphor for thinking that conscious experience is explained by a theory that can't be proven or disproven. If you think your consciousness is received by the brain-antenna from the macrocosmic sphere of absolute consciousness (or God, or whatever you call it) then remember about your mother and father, and the world that supported your and fed you experiences. They are responsible for your consciousness. Your experience comes from your parents and the world, and you are missing the obvious while embracing a nice fantasy. And if you don't make babies you won't extend your consciousness past your death. Your parents did, and here you are, all conscious and spiritual.

Another interesting remark from Michael Crichton:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gell-Mann_amnesia...
I found my future wife through online dating, but I attribute it to persistence, numbers and a little luck. I met her after going on at least 100-150 dates with around 100 women over 18 months. She had only started dating online for about a month before we met and had only gone on less than a dozen dates.

Coincidentally, it was around the time I was about to call it quits with online dating. I was glad I didn't though because we clicked instantly in a way I hadn't with other women I had dated. I went on dates with women of many different backgrounds, careers, education, etc, but it wasn't easy to find someone that I could see myself with long term. I approached in a scientific way to find what I liked in a relationship and what I didn't in hopes it would eventually filter out potentially bad dates before going on them based on stats collected from previous dates and conversations.

Would I do it all again? It was worth it in the end, but at the time it was starting to emotionally wear on me. Definitely not a path for those that can't take rejection or having to be the one rejecting. Most people don't take it well, no matter how you package it. Learned a lot about people and behavior that I think made me a better person in retrospect.
> Insanity is the wrong term, because it would imply repeating something that has already failed

No it doesn't. You might be thinking of that meme often miss-attributing that alternative definition as an Einstein wisdom; but that quote is about as accurate as the claim of who said it.
Just a reminder: you can disable the Steam service and still play your games.

Some Steam features will be disabled or broken but whether or not this affects you will obviously vary depending on which ones you like to use.
Personally, I couldn't stand the freebase nicotine juice. A hit off some 10mg juice made me feel like I'd just taken a fat haul on a cigar. My mouth started watering, I started twitching a bit and felt like was going to puke, then immediately i started craving a smoke. The nicotine salts don't feel that way, even with the 36mg. It actually takes the cravings away without really giving me that nicotine rush.

In a month I cut down my smoking by over half and I smoke less and less as time goes on. I find the flavours bother me though and is the main reason i haven't quit entirely. I actually enjoy the taste of cigarettes, I haven't found any ejuice I actually like the taste of it all reminds me of candy, even the ones that are supposed to taste like tobacco.
> Revisions of over 100,000 are not that uncommon. (500,000 is pretty rare though!)

Those are monthly numbers. The 500k should probably be anchored to the last revision, I guess a year ago. (Also, I saw somewhere that this 500k represents 0.3% of the entire employee base.)
Hi @benwilson-512:

We commonly see hypertables (time-series tables) deployed alongside relational tables, often because there exists a relation between them: the relational metadata provides information about the user, sensor, server, security instrument that is referenced by id/name in the hypertable.

So joins between these time-series and relational tables are often common, and together these serve the applications one often builds on top of your data.

Now, TimescaleDB can be installed on a PG server that is also handling tables that have nothing to do with its workload, in which case one does get performance interference between the two workloads. We generally wouldn't recommend this for more production deployments, but the decision here is always a tradeoff between resource isolation and cost.
Now, FLUKA on the other hand... no idea what their deal is.

Left unsaid in the kabuki over voter ID is The Correct Answer:

Universal automatic voter registration. Like every other mature democracy.

We now have a handful of complete rosters. Of everyone living and dead. Updated in near real-time.

We know with complete certainty if someone is eligible to vote.

We could just use any of our existing national demographic databases (NSA, Planitir, Facebook, LexisNexus, ChoicePoint, etc) for good governance. Instead of 50+ mutually incompatible chaotic mutant voter registration databases.

(Related: Just do a query, instead of walking around with clipboards every 10 years and doing a partial head count.)

Why don't we use the resources we already have to moot this issue?

Are there good comprehensive guides out there regarding vaping?

My mother has been a smoker for a long time, and she bought a "myblu" on a whim. However, she is concrned about the need to buy small recharges, as it is obviously not environment-friendly. Moreover, she had issues with the battery (I think it's not charging anymore, or maybe charged but not producing vapor) after a couple months of extremely light use.
As she finds the product unreliable (battery capacity, etc), she always have cigarette "backups".

I do not know anything about the mechanical parts used, nor the chemicals (for DIY liquid), or even the various vapes on the market.

Are there good, reputable and independent review sites or wikis on this topic? Preferably not with toxic kitchen recipes. I think a good vape could accept either standard or homemade products, with a standardized battery, and as much replaceable parts as possible.
Increases my conviction that vaping products should only be available by prescription, which any primary care physician would be more than happy to prescribe for a smoker hoping to quit.

As for the ~40% of 7th and 8th graders that are vaping at my kids middle school, well, that number would hopefully decrease.
The difference is between "wanting blood" and "restorative justice." In former, vengeance is a motivating force, potentially with little regard to making amends. Simply inflicting pain can be sufficient. In other, the goal is to compensate, restore and reform. This may or may not require inflicting great pain or ruining someone.
Dual fans should be quieter as the fans can spin slower to provide the same amount of heat dissipation. Fan noise is proportional to the fourth power of RPM, so this sounds like a good thing.
Just recently I learned that most of the land in Nevada is owned by the federal government (84.9 percent according to https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/heres-how-land-is-used-by...). It's more a federal state, than a state state in a land ownership sense.
"This was famously used by Michael Crichton in Next..."

Here's the portion of the book [1]:

'''

Alex Burnet was in the middle of the most difficult trial of her career, a rape case involving the sexual assault of a two-year-old boy in Malibu. The defendant, thirty-year-old Mick Crowley, was a Washington-based political columnist who was visiting his sister-in-law when he experienced an overwhelming urge to have anal sex with her young son, still in diapers. Crowley was a wealthy, spoiled Yale graduate and heir to a pharmaceutical fortune

It turned out Crowley’s taste in love objects was well known in Washington, but [his lawyer]—as was his custom—tried the case vigorously in the press months before the trial, repeatedly characterizing Alex and the child’s mother as “fantasizing feminist fundamentalists” who had made up the whole thing from “their sick, twisted imaginations.” This, despite a well-documented hospital examination of the child. (Crowley’s penis was small, but he had still caused significant tears to the toddler’s rectum.)

But their lives are so different.

For instance: gun control. Rules for millions of people crowded into a pressure-cooker city, vs rules for folks living a mile apart with varmints, police protection an hour away, hunting, are reasonably very different. Same for zoning, licensing, inspections, on and on.

Rural residents often get saddled with metro rules that make no sense.
> Document.createElement() takes a string. But when I call it, I’m going to pass you two integers. Use these to create a DOMString from data in my linear memory. Use the first integer as the starting address of the string and the second as the length.

This seems like its introducing buffer overflow vulnerabilities, if the code can be tricked into using the wrong numbers. Sure, just into WebAssembly memory, but if everything's implemented in WebAssembly, won't there often be sensitive information in there?

Doing some more research, it seems like this may be a common problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41353389/how-can-i-retur...
the parliamentary systems of the UK ... have the parliament elect the Prime Minister and likewise don't elect their leaders by popular vote.

This isn't totally accurate: the leader of the winning party is basically the Prime Minister. You vote for the party & leader together, you can't have one and not the other.

The system is otherwise just as broken as the US; meaning that outcomes are decided by a small number of "rural" people combined with gerrymandering.
> The chemical nicotine - by itself - transiently raises BP, feels nice, and that's about it.

This is not entirely true. I believe it can put you at risk for cardiac arrhythmia, and the risk goes up steeply the more nicotine you intake to simply cardiac arrest. I believe this is depicted in Thank You For Smoking when the protagonist is covered in nicotine patches and almost dies. It’s entirely possible that was do to BP issues but I wouldn’t dismiss it as trivial in that case.

Also if you read about the native american experience of smoking uncured tobacco, it seems like it was likely a near death shamanic experience and it did kill people occasionally.

That said, it’s rather easy to moderate your intake with the percentages, so it’s not a problem for most people (I hope).
My theory is that it's because techies skew young, so they prefer to live in places with lots of other young people, which are usually hipstery places with good food, local cultural events, etc.
This is true, and also why I lock down my BIOSs and set the OS as the only boot device. TRK is a bootable portable linux specifically for resetting and unlocking local admin accounts.

Encryption, however, cannot be broken without your credentials. These can be obtained from default running instance of Windows with Mimikatz if the admin credentials are still in memory from an earlier session.
This would make a lot more sense of the federal government were a lot weaker and state government a lot stronger, like it was originally. As it stands now, the President governs over the people far more than it governs over the state, so the people should get to choose the President, not the states.
Because Arkansas or Nevada are only really viable economic entities when supported by the much more productive states like California or New York.
May I ask for a source on that? AFAIK the reason why cigarettes cause disease is because of the tar and all of the other byproducts of the Burning tobacco and that nicotine by itself is not the cause. I can't find a source of the top of my head but I smoked cigarettes for 4 years and enjoyed reading on them.
> But in a way it makes sense. Without people in the countryside the people in the cities would have little to eat. Most countries go to some lengths to ensure some modicum of food security/self-sufficiency.

This argument would be accurate if we lived in a mercantile oriented world still, but there are plenty of countries that are entirely on other countries for basic necessities. While I can sympathize with the fact that farmers have gotten the rough end of the stick from seed corporations (like Monsanto) lately and that they have been forced into incredibly thin profit margins their work isn't inherently more valuable because it results in edible objects.

There are plenty of countries out there with a net import of food like the UAE, Germany, Russian, Japan, Egypt and Venezuela - that's a pretty diverse group of varying GDP per capita and political stability so I think it's pretty safe to dismiss any concerns of a strategic food reserve.
