"If the car is driven four days a week for a maximum of 50 kilometers a day, there’s no need to plug into an outlet, NEDO’s Yamazaki said."

This car maintains equilibrium at 124 miles per week, so basically anyone with a commute with a 1-way distance up to 12.4 miles, or 15.5 miles if you work from home one day a week, would not need to use a charger.
Well, you're lying. Might be impolite to mention, but I don't know what else to say.

First link, Reuters: "Violent crime rose by about 10 percent in 2015 and 2016, a study showed. It attributed more than 90 percent of that to young male refugees."

Second link, The Local: "Police statistics show that 38.6 percent of violent crimes were committed by foreigners in 2018" (Ethnic Germans make up 76% of the population)

Third link is there to illustrate specific cases.

Actually, in democratic capitalism, unions in private companies are always less powerful than private companies themselves.

The power of unions (for a certain sector) in a given society scales proportionally to number of people involved in them.

However, the power of private companies (certain sector) in a given society is proportional to revenue of that sector.

Since the power of unions in monetary terms can be bounded from above by total wages in the sector, we can see that this is always less than the revenue of the sector.

In other words, in capital intensive industries, unions have less relative power.

The point is, the "willingness of some industry to live" is the interest of more people than just employees of that industry. It's also all the people taking a cut one way or another, that is owners, rentiers and potentially all the people involved in providing assets for the industry.

Cesium (in the +1 state) appears to be barely toxic at all. Wikipedia puts its LD50 around that of sodium. Cesium metal is extraordinarily dangerous, but it’s so reactive that none of it will survive long enough to get anywhere near the ground.
Wow... I thought the US was bad!
The union in question is a public sector union, though, so it's not obvious how to apply your (correct, at least to my eyes) analysis.
Solar panels don't have zero environmental cost, I'd be surprised if making them solar powered is a net environmental win, especially when you have to build the charging infrastructure anyway, just in case the weather is not suitable for charging.
It’s hard for me to see how they can control for police slowdown. In most cases, in order for there to be a complaint the police have to:

Answer the phone
Show up
Take the person’a claim seriously, encourage the person to formally complain
Actually write up the complaint
Actually file it

I’m really skeptical those things wouldn’t be altered by a slowdown, it wouldn’t be much of a slowdown, in my opinion, without altering these things.

Edit: I understand it might be in principle possible to control for a slowdown, if you had many many other slowdowns to use as data points.
>Please provide some kind of basis to this claim.

Well...I think all the basis is likely to be anecdotal unless someone performs a survey.

One data point: I've been doing this stuff for decades and I have never had reason to _read_ a patent filing. That has to indicate something, no? If they were so "inventive" wouldn't we need to read them to find out about new inventions. The only patents I've read were a) ones where I was the named inventor (even then I didn't understand them) and b) where I was employed as an expert by lawyers fighting trolls in litigation.

In that case most tech people are "lesser" than investment bankers. I didn't say anything about an individual's worth being tied to their offer. That is asinine in my opinion. You are projecting that by yourself. If you want to stick to numbers ask your peers who got offers from all 3 how they stack up. I also know the perks at Amazon suck. Food is a big perk for me and not having that is a straight 4k+ hit to your comp. 401k matching plus mega backdoor 401k , better health insurance. Even keeping absolute numbers aside Amazon is a penny pincher when it comes to its employees.
I feel like you’re still missing the point. People pay $1000/month or more because the public transit system doesn’t go where they need to go OR they’re wealthy enough that it doesn’t matter.

I’m not seeing where the $1000/mo incentive you’re describing is coming from? An unlimited MTA card is $127. Nobody is paying for a car if the subway serves their needs.

> You agree and then again go completely sideways by unreasonably expecting that Go team to contribute to stack they neither claim to be expert on, nor particularly like it.

Sorry, but I think you’re still missing my point. It’s well documented that the original creators of Go did not want to build their language on top of LLVM, and did not like C++. That’s totally fine! Of course you have to work on things you like.

But Go is so stable, and has been for more than half a decade. That means Google could spin up a brand new team, entirely separate if they must, of folks who like both LLVM and Go, to build out an LLVM frontend for Go. It’s not like Go is a fast-moving target. There is a very stable spec.

Gccgo is proof that it is possible to have a GCC frontend for Go without too much work. Ian Taylor has been maintaining Gccgo for about ten years, working what seems to be half time. Imagine what could be done if there were a few more folks actively working on improving gccgo, rather than just keeping parity with gc.

> I do not see how a generic framework could be made as fast as custom build stack.

I don’t see why not. It’s mostly a matter of introducing ways of disabling the expensive bits when compiling/linking a simpler language like Go. Yes, it’s probably somewhat slower to develop, but everyone benefits from the work, and you also offload much of the burden of maintaining a compiler/linker for a half dozen different platforms to the LLVM team collectively.
It's harder in a relationship or with kids but not impossible. I travelled for a year with my now-wife and we've done 4-5 week trips since. Recently we took our three young kids (1-6yo) overseas, bought a bus and drove it around for three months. Not everyone can afford it but there are loads of people who can and just stick with the rat race grinding them into the dirt. "Maybe I'll live life when I retire."

Also, in terms of it being unhelpful, I think it's important to find a way to distill it to a scenario which isn't beyond your situation - get away for the week instead of a year, find joys in simple and cheap things, bushwalk with your kids, reduce to four days/week, etc. When someone gives their personal/general advice, it's your choice whether you find something of use there, right?

You can be the smartest engineer and have a bad interview day. Your offers then won't reflect your true "labor market worth".

Patents are behind a kind of shell game played with the investor class: investors like to think they own "assets". So entrepreneurs have over time decided to play a game where patents are treated as assets. They tell the investors that they own these nice valuable assets called patents. Both sides probably know the whole thing is BS, but they play along.

In this context, _nobody_ is going to stand up and call BS on the game. Certainly not Larry.

Senior engineers in BigTechCo get paid bonuses for patent filings so they're unlikely to speak up for fear of those bonuses.

I feel a bit nervous posting this to be honest, but hey..
You already don't want to pay for a repair for a modern car after an accident -- all of the electronics and recalibrations (front camera and calibration, front radar sensor and calibration, blind spot detecting radar/ultrasonic sensor and calibration) adds up to serious money even for a minor accident.
It might be true that, for some legislators, the fear of speaking truth to this particular power is one of public disorder. I don't think there's evidence to support that fear, but that doesn't mean it's not a motivating factor.

A larger motivating factor - and this is pure speculation - might be more closely related to angering an institution with such a capacity for unchecked initiation of violence (ie, that ones person, home, or family may be in danger of direct violence).
Might want to cross reference the Nazi studies about what that concentration of spent cesium would do to a human population living below over time.
> This thread is making me realize how much the US health care system really is impacting my life choices.

Have you considered going to London/Toronto/Vancouver? There's lots of business potential in all three places, healthcare included in taxes (though not immediately--I'm not an expert but I know from friends there's definitely a waiting period in Canada and probably in the UK). You could work a salary job for a year or two to build up contacts and then branch out on your own.

The weather is simply too cold for me in those places. I need more sun, even NY is a bit rough for me. But if healthcare is a big concern it might work for you. I know people who have worked in and loved all three.

Is that not fair? People don't want tourists in their city, they want other people who are a part of the community.

I guess it depends on how it was said, but this isn't a "white people" issue, mainly because this isn't white-people-specific. I'm sure Nairobi would feel the same way about being overrun by tourists.
Most developers I know (at least the senior ones) are named inventors on several patents so I doubt your theory that engineers don't understand the space.

The kinds of optimizations LLVM does is way beyond anything golang does. Golang doesn't even optimize passing function parameters in registers, let alone the advanced optimization techniques LLVM and GCC do.

"Law enforcement unions are one of the few American institutions with completely bipartisan protection. Democrats don't go after them because Democrats are pro-union. Republicans don't go after them because Republicans are pro-police."

Perhaps your "democracy" needs more than 2 parties.

"What happens if police officers and prison guards go on strike?"

The American culture is very antagonistic. In democratic societies, which are less antagonistic, this would become a matter of new public consensus much sooner before they would go on actual strike (there are many forms of strike and some of them do not involve stopping all work, for example, work-to-rule).
If you're going to rely on personal experience in an argument, "in six weeks I learned enough to criticize many engineers with decades of experience" is not a strong argument. That's not even claiming to be a 10x engineer, that's claiming to be a 1000x engineer.

I don't intend this to sound harsh, apologies if it does. I strongly recommend you introspect on your own confidence and experience levels. I've mentored a lot of junior engineers with similar viewpoints and often there's a lot of hidden complexity they simply lack the experience to understand.

This isn't to say you should take everything anyone with more experience says at blind faith, simply that dismissing without understanding is counter to a growth mentality.

Concise: A full compiler for ChocoPy be implemented in about 12 weeks by undergraduate students of computer science. This can be a hugely rewarding exercise for students.

Written in itself, and thus self-compiling? IMHO that's one of the biggest advantages of using C/C-subset compilers, that it's relatively easy to do so, and I think writing a self-compiling compiler is especially important in a course because it really drives home the point that a compiler is just another piece of software.

I feel like if MVP worked, they could defend themselves using data that shows clear improvements from the students in that curriculum instead of suing a critic.

I joined the facebook group when I first heard about this case. Some parents have complained that at some wake county middle and high schools, the math teachers are not even instructing the kids under penalty of punishment from the WCPSS administration. The kids at those schools are being placed into groups and left to figure out the math entirely on their own. At other schools in the district using the same curriculum teachers are still using traditional direct instruction, but they are all being grouped together when measuring the results county wide.
If it's handwriting, maybe Simplified writing can serve as a way to write notes. But with computers and standardized education everywhere, why?

This was the dearest point I had. You can even call the other points facetious or an overall thought experiment.

That's why I take great pride in my work on Cihai (https://cihai.git-pull.com/), which makes characters preserved through the Unicode Consortium's UNIHAN project more accessible. They will be ready and waiting to be implemented once again.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_unification

In fact, our computers everywhere around the world reserve the codepoints of even ancient, now unused Chinese characters. UNIHAN also covers the ones used in Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese also (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_unification#Examples_of_la...), and variants across them. And there are also reservations for bagua and yi jing hexagrams.

I hope China pulls the plug on this Simplified writing experiment. Chinese is a very beautiful language!

jmpman developed some tech at BigCo A. Their lawyers filed patents for that tech, naming jmpman as the inventor. jmpman got bonuses from BigCo A for those filings (typically O($10k)/patent). jmpman then moved to BigCo B, continuing to work on same tech. Meanwhile BigCo A demanded that BigCo B enter into a patent cross-license agreement, presumably with the goal to gain free-of-charge licenses to use BigCo B's patent portfolio.
BigCo B agreed. Result was that while BigCo A thought they had made a sweet deal, in fact they licensed foc the tech jmpman had previously developed to BigCo B which went on to make $$$ exploiting it. If they hadn't pulled the cross license stunt, BigCo A would have made $$$ in royalties form B's use of jmpman's tech.

But, this is why historically patents were not a big deal: all tech companies (this is before software patents were even allowed, so we're talking hardware patents) all entered into cross licensing agreements and everyone used each other's inventions mostly without royalties paid.
