few areas of the United States. Remember, US population is leveling off. The current growth rate is 0.8% per year. Without illegal immigration, that number will go negative, as it already has for Japan and most of Europe. The current US fertility rate is 1.8. 2.1 is breakeven.

New York City had about the same population in 1950 and 2000. Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland have all shrunk. New York was once the largest city in the world; now it's in 9th place. Nationwide, there's no great need to build.

R.U.R. is a great quick read, and while some aspects are a bit dated, a lot of it is quite ahead of its time. Or perhaps I just feel that way due to way in which so many modern scifi stories (be it in books, tv, movies, games) were clearly influenced by this.

Either way, if you're into scifi, I consider this play required reading.
Intuitively, this makes sense. Why would immigrants influx into the United States with no hope of improving their economic situation?

From the NY Times article this article critiques: 'A prime example is their claim that “America is the richest country” in the OECD, “but we’re also the poorest, with a whopping 18% poverty rate—closer to Mexico than Western Europe.”'

The scale of poverty in Mexico is much higher than in the U.S. And higher still in central America. This "3rd World U.S." narrative is often repeated, but as the author shows it has no basis in reality.
I'm sure a lot of people don't care about explicitly managing resources! But there are a lot of people who do, and they need a language to use.

I'm glad the article brought up Prop 13. It is my belief that Prop 13 is the biggest cancer on the state of California, and one that we will almost never be rid of. Prop 13 is why people don't move. Prop 13 is why California occasionally has budget issues. Prop 13 makes my parents home property taxes 1/4th the amount of my own, despite their home being 4x the value of mine.
"Subsidy Cliffs" are a real problem. I implore everyone to help get rid of the insane situations they create.

Plug in some numbers for yourself with this Obamacare calculator. If you are, for example, a married couple, both 55 years old, you lose many of thousands of dollars of benefits from an additional $1 of income when your income crosses 400% of the poverty line.

To put some real numbers on the table: if this couple made $65800 of income, they get a $1098 per month subsidy. If they made $65900 of income, they get a $0 subsidy.

The problem is that this article is all over the place, and seems to be deliberately muddying the waters. For example:

"The upshot is laid bare by the fact that this OECD measure assigns a higher poverty rate to the U.S. (17.8%) than to Mexico (16.6%). Yet, World Bank data shows that 35% of Mexico’s population lives on less than $5.50 per day, as compared to only 2% of people in the United States."

The article is full of loaded words, which already makes me distrust it, and then I find these kinds of silly comparisons...

I've found that repeated practice and building the habit was very helpful for longer term goals like learning.

One thing I've done is explicitly blocked time to work on learning. For example, when I jumped in to learn some UX/Sketch work for a previous company (very small, no designated designers), I would block off an hour that would be specifically for that work. No email, no slack, no code review, just two 25-minute chunks of learning with a break in-between. I would also usually come in a little early and knock it out first thing in the morning, since a) that was the time when there were the fewest distractions and b) then I could check it off my TODO list and not have to worry about it for the rest of the day.

More recently, at a larger company with more meetings, I've found that explicitly blocking time/space to work on something can be really helpful for heads-down learning.

Side note: I've also found that having the goal of sharing with my team (via informal tech talks) is a tremendous way to learn and to stay diligent.
I'll be happy to continue when you acknowledge that there are more than the choices of universal health care and paying for everything out of pocket.

It's very strange how insurance works for homes, for cars, for libel, and many other things, yet somehow no one here is willing to entertain the fact that health insurance also works to pay for health care.

"In other words, we are conservative/libertarian in our personal views—but unlike many policy and media organizations—Just Facts is devoted to objectivity, and we do not favor facts that support our viewpoints. Instead, we will report any fact that meets our Standards of Credibility, regardless of the implications."

Except that's never true.

1) If your views make you more inclined to report on / investigate along certain ideological lines, you'll wind up reporting vastly more "facts" that fit your views, even if you're only reporting "facts".

2) Other news media outlets will cherry-pick your facts, even if you don't.

This may be a naive question, but, how do we know that the mass we measure for a black hole is equivalent to the things that went into the black Hole? We can’t have any observational data on what went into them in aggregate - is it not possible that the mass of black holes that we estimate is incorrect in some fundamental way? Or just that e.g. energy that enters them also becomes mass?

They mentioned protein in particular, which isn't really that big of a deal (as opposed to certain other nutrients like Vitamin B-12, which can often be a problem).
Similar thing happened to a good friend of mine. I don't recall the exact numbers, but she got a raise from something like $11.50 to $13/hr. Suddenly no longer qualified for the pretty nice state Medicaid plan, and had to pick up some godawful high deductible, high premium plan that covers virtually nothing from the Obamacare marketplace. She pays at least $150/month for it in premiums, is nowhere near the deductible, and so far it's refused to cover an MRI two doctors have ordered for her. Plus she lost dental and vision coverage - just had to pay $300 out of pocket for a cleaning and x-rays.

Yes, because the US has relatively generous social programs that cover healthcare for the poorest.
They're comparing to Europe. We don't have an influx of immigrants from Europe.
> The current title I'm seeing is "Inside America’s Dysfunctional Trillion-Dollar Fighter-Jet Program" which seems misleading as well

"Dysfunctional" is also misleading. The program has produced three operational variants, including the first ever supersonic STOVL aircraft. The US and Israel have both conducted F-35 airstrikes. That is a called a "functional" (if by no means perfect) aircraft development program.

It's also encouraging to see the F-35A price falling as expected...
Okay, so not death. But other health issues? Can you point me to a relevant meta-analysis on PubMed or something? Because all I'm seeing from national dietetic organizations is support for the diet.

What food they do eat is largely their own choice. I wouldn't be surprised for example, if the bottom 20% of the US would spend more money per capita on food (purchasing parity adjusted) that median Spanish family, and still manage to eat worse than them.
I disagree. The Mediterranean diet, one of the healthiest, and practically speaking very easy to apply, has plenty of cheese and wine for example. The scientists haven't been able to figure out all aspects of it, but it definitely works, and fortunately for us all it's not boring, there are some delicious dishes there so you can actually celebrate your diet rather than treat it as a sort of punishment like most people do.
> Something's very wrong when making more money makes you poorer and less healthy.

Yes, what's wrong is cut-off thresholds (or just phaseouts that, when totalled across programs, exceed $1 lost benefits for each $1 of additional income.) It's one of the things motivating UBI, since then all the phaseout happens in one place, by way of progressive marginal tax rates.
1. Because I don't eat meat outside of fish. This is both a lifestyle choice and a health thing: I don't have a gall bladder and my digestive track is much happier if I stay away from greasy foods, especially animal fats. I'll occasionally get an upset stomach from fish or fried eggs still, but it isn't an everyday thing.

2. While they do have carbs, they also have protein. And a bunch of other stuff the burgers don't have. Oh, and less fat in most cases. I'm guessing many are lower in calories, but I'm not sure about these particular products.

3. Not all of them are super processed. I've literally made different sorts at home, though I'm just as likely to buy a soy option. (obviously not Beyond Meat or Impossible Burgers. I actually am not impressed with these options).

4. They are an easy meal.

Can you explain the difference between it and the vegetables it is made out of?
Sure, but "cooking" is technological intervention, so the bar you are setting seems low to the point of being meaningless.
Because "red curry with tofu" is just called "red curry with tofu", not "vegan red curry with tofu". Same with chana masala, hummus and veggie sandwich, pasta marinara, etc. But a hamburger, "chicken nuggets", etc very much needs the "vegan" prefix to make it clear what it is, so you end up associating the word with the meat substitutes. But that doesn't mean American vegetarians only eat things that have the word vegan/vegetarian in the label.

Similarly, "gluten-free" is associated with breads, pastas, etc. Not rice or other non-imitation products.
Then I am happy to say I am happy for their recent changes, this certainly wasn’t the case a few years ago when I wrote them off, and even more not the case 10 years ago when I was still in the industry. I think it should be promoted as an example that consumer pressure and expectations can cause companies to change for the better.

I will say I remain skeptical on exactly how they can go from the ammonia wash + chemical food flavoring process to using fresh beef and not have any discernible difference in taste or food safety, but kudos to them.

> This "3rd World U.S." narrative is often repeated, but as the author shows it has no basis in reality.

Right. The Reality is that the US is at the very bottom of developed (OECD) countries, and is often more comparable to developing countries than developed ones.

>Why would immigrants influx into the United States with no hope of improving their economic situation?

You are correct that people want to influx into the US from very poor undeveloped countries (3rd world). You'll find that hundreds of millions of people living in developed (OECD) countries have no interest in living in the US.

If you want meaningful and useful comparisons, compare the US to developed (OECD) countries. There is nothing to be gained from comparing a major league team to a team of beginners.
It's not super hidden but you also already understood numbers at that age too presumably so you already had most of the puzzle. As a native speaker I don't think I ever broke the words down like that or had them broken down to me like that (then again this would have been ages ago so maybe it was and I don't remember).
"Other people were also bad back then" does not negate "we were bad back then".

It is a problem. Quantum mechanics, as it's normally taught, basically has two components:

1. Schrödinger's equation, which governs how the wavefunction (or quantum state) evolves in time. This equation is time-reversible: given a state at time t, you can calculate what the state was at time t-T. Technically, that means that the "time evolution operator" is invertible. All the information about the history of how system's state is contained in the present state. No information is ever destroyed.

2. Observation. A quantum state looks like a_1 * psi_1 + a_2 * psi_2 + ... + a_n * psi_n, where psi_i are all the possible states of the system and a_i are complex numbers called "amplitudes." When you observe a state (I'm obviously leaving out some mathematical details here, so anyone with physics knowledge please forgive me), you observe it to be in one of the possible states, psi_i, with i between 1 and n. The probability of observing it to be in state i is proportional to |a_i|^2. This operation destroys information, because the state collapses to psi_i, and all the amplitudes, a_j, j≠i, are lost. You can no longer reconstruct the previous state of the system.

I think most physicists who "seriously" think about quantum mechanics do not believe that step 2 above actually happens. It is a simplification of a much more complicated process called "decoherence." In order to understand decoherence, you have to change your perspective on what observation means. If you treat the observer as a system governed by Schrödinger's equation, which interacts with the system that's being measured, you find that the observer becomes entangled with the system under observation. The observer ends up in a superposition of states, each of which has observed a different outcome. It appears to each state of the observer as if there has been wavefunction collapse, but there actually is a larger quantum system containing both the observer and thing being observed, in which no information has been lost.

The theory of decoherence and the "many-worlds interpretation" began to be developed in the 1950s by one of Wheeler's students, Everett. Somehow, it hasn't really made it into undergraduate physics yet, and most physicists can get by without thinking too deeply about what observation means. You can do most calculations assuming wavefunction collapse happens.

This is hopefully a stupid question but doesn't that make Chick-Fil-A's nuggets "wings" or "chicken breast chunks."

I mean they're good -- don't get me wrong but I don't see anything wrong with nuggets made by grinding up some of the ugly parts of the chicken. I basically consider them two separate things. I thought it was actually kind of silly for them to grind up the good bits of the chicken just for a marketing push.
That's probably a good idea to get to a usable product. You may want to investigate a proper data warehouse if your workload primarily consists of large scans and aggregations, such as if you offer a user-facing dashboard which can generate arbitrary queries.

Does your data have a fixed structure, or can customers send essentially whatever they want and you have to deal with it by e.g. storing a JSON blob in each event?
Everything here sounds great except for the thorium reactors and the electric cars. AFAIK, the existing thorium reactors are in the PoC stage and are not ready for mass deployment. Am I incorrect?

Electric cars today are all wired to the cellular and internet networks. I won't own one of those. By 2029 there better be non-networked options for grumpy stubborn people like me. Maybe it's a non issue. By then I might just move some place that a horse will do just fine.
To be honest, I haven't encountered any issues yet and I have quite literally no credit score. Never used a credit card and my history is entirely blank if anyone tries to run a check on me.

I've been lucky enough to never have to participate in a system that I view as being incredibly exploitative. I hope to keep it that way and honestly, I'd like to see further efforts towards curbing the credit score system. It's draconian, a bit orwellian and punishing to the poor and/or unlucky.
It often comes down to the laziness of the owners. Both offices I've rented in the Bay Area were owned by family trusts, where the children of the original owner were getting a check every month but nobody was interested in doing the work to fix the place up and find higher value tenants.

There's a huge amount of that real estate dark matter around here. It takes some legwork to find such buildings and rent them. And if you fix them up, the landlord might notice and raise the rent.

The thing is, it's not some pure freedom of choice to consume soda. Soda is massively subsidized by government policy, and marketed aggressively by corporations that make huge profits because of its addictive properties, which they carefully enhance. They spend part of those profits on lobbying to ensure that there are no countervailing forces in society, and that the subsidies remain in place. And the negative externalities of it on our health and on the environment are born by society as a whole. If anything, forces that counter-act their marketing and lobbying enhance your freedom by making it so that you are making a more-informed choice if you consume their product.

That's the compiler's decision. Whether to pass something as a reference or as a copy is up to the compiler, provided that it can tell if this affects program semantics. If a argument is not modified (or cannot be), and lifetime analysis can exclude aliasing and concurrency conflicts, then it doesn't need to be copied. It can be if it's tiny; that's the compiler's call.

That feature was in an early Modula compiler.
