Pretty sure the leaders of Israel have made it illegal, and the grounds for exclusion from the Knesset, to disagree with that statement.

But it's not accepted to point out that Israel is a distinctly illiberal state by it's overt, foundational policy.
This year, 8x more people got a PERFECT score on the SAT, than just 3 years ago. So the universities decided - rather suddenly - to ignore achievement, hey let's use another metric, like zipcode and class rank and gpa, to determine admissions!

Car prices in my area would generally consider $10-$15k for a relatively new EV vehicle off lease as a deal, I just checked prices around here and confirmed that. A new ICE car here can easily set you back over $30k for a small car and upwards of $60k for a large truck. Unless you're making less than average in this area the price of an EV is only slightly more than an ICE vehicle used in the same condition.

Yes, of course. Punish those who exploit undocumented workers. Of course, it’s much harder to exploit an undocumented workforce when it doesn’t exist or is reduced in size. Many ways to achieve this (paths to citizenship, etc.); Anduril is just one piece of the solution, as I suggest in my original comment.

It's not. Take this sentence: "ACE construction rules require that each noun be introduced by a determiner (a, every, no, some, at least 5, ...)."

The sentence does not follow the rule it describes, since "rules" does not have a determiner. It might be worth a try, but I suspect ACE would make the article awkward and harder to read.

The US has had hands in Chile and Panama. They’re doing pretty well. We haven’t touched Argentina or Uruguay or Bolivia. Uruguay is doing well, the other two not so much. The U.K. and France and others had their hands in the US, we’ve done okay. [and let’s not ignore the lengths the USSR went to try and destabilize us as well].

It’s not what someone has done to you, it’s what you do for yourself.

Look at S Korea, Taiwan, etc. they were very much poorer than Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela, etc. They had little in way of natural resources, but with grit and determination they overcame despite being occupied and decimated by imperial Japan, they helped themselves. They didn’t have the best governments initially, yet they have done very very well. It’s not about who invaded you or had you as a vassal state, etc., it’s what you do for yourself that really matters. Singapore is another.

Be advised that as SOON as you pay the $80 admission fee to that college, the college's rank (and bank account) goes up.

You either raise the stats of the student body, and get admitted.

Or you would lower the stats of the student body, therefore, you are rejected, RAISING the "selectivity" of the college.

One of those stats is number of national merit scholars, finalists, and commended students. Believe it!
Do they? I've only ever seen major TCGs sold three ways (not counting secondhand): Regular booster packs (fixed number of cards, odds of rarities in small print on the back), preconstructed decks (fully known, no randomness), and bundles (box with five or ten regular packs plus one specific card or random known-rarity card).

The Clang Static Analyzer uses immutable data structures. Here, for instance, is its immutable list implementation: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/llvm/includ...

The data structures are used during program state exploration because they are more memory efficient than storing many copies of the program state with small mutations.
But not all people are using legal terms. Nobody who objects to the phrase "illegal immigration" disputes the fact that illegal immigration and illegal immigrants exist as a technical matter. There's no 8 USC § 1325 truther movement. They're very up front about their reasons for objecting to the use of the phrase, and while perhaps extreme you can draw analogies to colloquial distinctions we've always made regarding terms like "criminal".

If you find the language games obnoxious, so be it. I wouldn't dispute that sentiment because I can understand it, I just don't openly espouse it because I personally also find it a little obnoxious to be rancorous with people who are clearly just trying to be empathetic.

The point that they didn't raise is that scrollbars effect the size and position of things in the browser. Try setting 100vw on an element when you have obtrusive scrollbars, the result will be a page which now has horizontal scrolling, leading to terrible UX.
Interesting Wikipedia page. Seems almost 20% of Australian prisoners are in private prisons! And 15-20% in the UK.

Obviously this is not a uniquely US issue another countries are expanding their use.
I've been riding a Micro Falcon X3 for a few months now. Almost all electric scooters are illegal here in The Netherlands, but Micro sells two models which were adjusted to be legal; the throttle has been disabled and you have to actually kick to start moving and keep kicking regularly to keep the electric motor going.

My experience with it is it's a very fun way to commute and I prefer it to my bike. Most of the time I'm moving faster than all bikes, but just like the article I do agree with the 15 mph speed limit, because I really don't want to be going any faster with this thing. When I just started riding and was still learning how to stand and keep in control, a couple of times it shot away from under my feet and I hit the road pretty hard (on my feet luckily).

I'm not wearing a helmet or any other protective gear, I don't think that is necessary anymore than when riding a bike in NL (we have bike lanes everywhere). But if I had to travel on the road with cars then I probably would wear a helmet.

As for the goofy look mentioned by others in the comments, I don't know if that's true and I'm not the type of person that cares. I do get a lot of people looking at me though, but that's probably because they hardly ever see an electric scooter around here, or they think I'm doing something illegal and in NL the rules are the rules and deviation is not acceptable! ;)
I'm sorry does it? that's not what the paper says at all

"Those released from private prisons who reoffended committed less serious subsequent offenses than did their public prison counterparts. The two groups were similar in how long it took for rearrest or for the first recidivism event to occur"
The purpose of imprisonment is to punish criminals by depriving them of their liberty. As a side-effect, society benefits because a criminal has been forcibly removed from visiting further misery on law-abiding people.

Imprisonment is and should be a deterrent punishment - it is not a support group.

One can both be in favor of abolishing for-profit prisons and also in favor of severe deterrent sentences for law-breakers. Profiteering private corporations naturally seek to maximise the number of prisoners in their facilities, because they are paid per inmate - so they have every incentive to ensure future "custom". This motive naturally conflicts with deterrent imprisonment - the whole idea is to forcibly prevent criminals from breaking the law again.
The friction of requiring volunteer hours would probably buy them another ten years of runway to solve that problem.

https://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/programs-and-services/... has a required number of hours per year to get - and retain - an allotment. It's meant to reduce entropy and keep the waiting list a bit shorter. A couple of things on this list https://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/programs-and-services/... can get you your hours in faster, which bumps you up a little bit in the queue. I'd like to see that ramp more aggressively but that would discriminate against blue collar workers.

Everest doesn't have that problem, though. Climbing it is, in many ways, a statement of privilege already. If you issued permits to the 100 people with the most volunteer hours in that year, you'd solve a whole host of problems.
Other comments reveal that, in fact, this is inside a gated community. Driving your car into a gated community and then into a pond just doesn't add up as an accident.

You can use realloc. It will try to use the existing contiguous span of memory, but if it cannot, it will malloc a new span and copy the previous bytes in and return a pointer to it.
Power is actually pretty easy to solve compared to transportation. You can reliably generate either wind, water, or solar anywhere on the planet and store it locally. You're right though that centralizing populations tends to be the most efficient use of resources.
One of the interesting aspects of benchmarks is that they are usually designed and intended to run in isolation. E.g. if you benchmark a database system, you expect that to be the sole system running on your server machine, in control of all resources.

That's not true of software running on desktop systems or mobile phones - desktops usually run many concurrent tasks, so do phones to some degree, and then there's also the question of battery use.

That can create skewed incentives if the benchmark isn't carefully designed. E.g. you can usually make space/time tradeoffs regarding performance, so if your benchmark is solely measuring CPU time, it pays off to gobble up all possible RAM for even minor benefits. If your benchmark is only measuring wallclock time, it pays off to gobble up all the CPUs, even if the actual speedup from that is minor.

This can lead to software "winning" the benchmark with improvements that are actually detrimental to the performance on end user's systems.

ICE actually has detained citizens in the past - https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/07/23/francisco-e...

I'm a citizen and I don't usually have my passport on me. If someone asked me to show that I was a citizen, I would have no way to prove it to them.
I think private prisons could work if:

- Convicts could choose whether to be sent to a public or private prison.

- Private prisons had financial incentives for post-incarceration behavior. Eg: If their prisoner recidivism rate after 3 years was 10% lower than the average public prison, they would get a 20% bonus.

Those changes would create enough competition and align incentives such that we could see some real innovation in the criminal justice system. Sadly, I don't think these sorts of experiments will ever be tried. If someone ever proposes such a system, they'll be branded a supporter of "private prisons".
Obtrusive scroll bars by default screw up certain CSS rules like 100vw. So that's why it matters.

> The spec has a semantics that describes that the language does when executed in great detail.

Here's what the WSL specification says about loading a texture, one of the simplest possible features of a shading language, but one that introduces a lot of complexity (again, to load a texture requires calculating an LOD, which requires talking about derivatives and scheduling pixels and shader execution in terms of quads):

> Todo: fill this section Sample, Load, Gather, etc..

That's it.

Now, your Babylon.JS demo clearly samples textures. So you have some semantics implemented, but what semantics are they? Note that these things are baked pretty heavily in hardware, so if you get the semantics wrong, you can't really fix the hardware. Your semantics have to model reality as it exists. Your automated tests can say that the spec is correct, but might break on a real GPU after translation to SPIR-V/Metal/HLSL.

The WebGPU working group does not currently have any participation from AMD or NVIDIA. Khronos and the SPIR-V working group do. I trust them to get these details right.

Fun fact: The current modelling of "discard" of as OpKill instead of OpDemoteToHelperInvocation is incorrect for Metal's "discard", which I presume is one of your backends right now.
> The United States itself had "open borders" for a long period of time. There was mass immigration from Ireland, Italy, and many other places and it worked out quite well for us.

There was no welfare state back then, and the economic situation was vastly different. Also saying it went "quite well" looks over all of the ethnic tension that took decades to fix. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Americans#Discrimination

This is not true. As a Millennial, I know many people in my parents' generation who did well starting with a high school degree. They may have obtained further education later, but not at the beginning. This is borne out by statistics on post-secondary degree attainment by Boomers. The only exceptions were people who wanted to jump directly into professional work, like law or medicine, or, frankly, black people, who have always seemed to have to have an extra level of education to compete in the marketplace.
> The FCC under Obama had capped the amount they could charge which was promptly undone with government changes.

We see this time and time again. There really needs to be a better protocol for this. It takes so much time and effort to make these laws, yet they can be undone in a heartbeat. It's an inherently flawed system.
> “We have to worry about all the people who are detained right now,” said Servine. “Where will they end up?”

Yep, that’s another distinction I wish would enter public perception. Much like how socialism vs communism distinction was made to try to separate some of their better ideas from a long legacy of negative baggage.

I think libertarians would benefit from creating a clearer spectrum within their own community between the more practical (and popular) small government/minarchist side and the more extreme anarcho-capitalist privatize everything group. Too often they seem to be happy having these lines blurred. Plus I don’t think there is any contradictions or significant compromises in doing so. If anything pushing for pipe dream imaginary economic systems or half solution public/private stop gaps isn’t helping anyone.
Not all states perform emissions checks. Almost all perform safety checks. No idea why EVs would be exempt from these so your solution would probably work.
I can getting 2 images taken at different times when I am using Firefox or Chrome.

The Chrome one seems to be much higher quality.
Wholly supported. There’s no way a private prison would be incentivized to lower recidivism but is instead incentivized to increase it. Here’s to hoping we foster rehabilitation over punishment in our prisons and put an end to what is effectively slave labor (inmates making things for pennies on the dollar).

To explain the other response you received:

It's common knowledge that NSA dragnet surveillance recorded the phone calls and captured the metadata of almost every American for a few years, and probably still is. This, I would argue, we can agree upon without having to present evidence.

If you're going to argue that this violation of human rights was necessary, the burden of proof is on you to prove this extraordinary claim.
Your central assumption is that four more years without a job is the only way to learn whatever you need (abstract, practical, whatever). I just disagree.

Efficient processes measure outputs/results, like what people actually learn or accomplish after all that time.

But many people in this thread are measuring inputs, like, just put in four more years of time and money and that must be good for everyone, right?
