How is a legal process a coup? For readers which aren't sure of the definition of coup, "a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government."

I don't see how an impeachment inquiry (even if legally a bit vague) as "violent", "sudden", or "illegal", nor is it a seizure of power, since it is just an inquiry.

If you want to argue that ordering witnesses for investigations without first declaring a formal vote on an impeachment inquiry is illegal, you won't find the Constitution or CRS reports state that a vote must be held for such orders to be valid.
Do charter schools actually get funding from parents? I thought they only used the fraction of the government funding that transferred over from public school, and generally got much better results than public schools using this.

You need to eat about 7,700 calories too much to gain a kilogram of weight (https://www.livestrong.com/article/304137-how-many-calories-...). So, eating 25 calories too much each day gains you that kilogram in a year. If you keep doing that between ages 10 and 40, you ‘gain’ 30 kilograms, and chances are you end up obese.

You can counteract that by burning about 25 more calories each day. To do that by walking, you need to walk about half a mile extra each day (https://www.livescience.com/8931-calories-walking-burn-depen...)

I remember before hitting Middle School (maybe in 5th or 6th grade?) my elementary school rotated the classes in groups of three throughout each day as a way to transition to Middle School's much larger un-grouped class transition.

By example: Teachers A, B, C, D, E, and F were teachers of that grade. Classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 were classes of that grade. Before lunch the teacher+class pairings were A1, B2, C3, D4, E5, F6. After lunch the pairings were A2, B3, C1, D5, E6, F4. After a break the pairings were A3, B1, C2, D6, E4, F5.

This allowed us to get used to the idea of rotating teachers and we interacted with the other classes in our group a bit during rotations and breaks. However, it only raised the number of teachers to interact with by two, and we didn't actually sit and learn with a larger class. It made for a great transition.

That school had a bunch of other really great opportunities to start giving children more responsibilities, too. It had an inter-school mail system run by the students, as well as a bookstore, snack stand, and a few other things. For context, this was in the USA in the early 2000s.
I'd take issue with that -- the US Military was able to put up certain goalposts and make a credible claim that they hit them. The problem was that the point of the conflict was poorly defined, and victory was even more poorly defined. Bodycount was used as a metric for doing something.

IMO, Vietnam was a vanity war against an idea ("Communism"), and remote warfare is bad because it lowers the cost of vanity conflicts dramatically.

If I need metrics in a historical narrative to keep score, nobody is winning. That's the problem.

Not really. It's frigging pot. It's been de-facto legal for decades.

Show me a state doing something serious, like banning guns, reversing roe v wade, changing the state language, change the voting age. Difference-between-country stuff. I should have thought of something like that for my initial post; would have reduced this silly nitpicking.

Can’t disagree with you there. Blame Busch and Obama and their SimCity approach to geopolitics. That said, things are thorny and messy there and they have to be resolved locally, though if international pressure helps that’d be good. Yet, the chasm is too big right now. They’re gonna have to get tired of war themselves as other places have. Saddam’s peace was a forced peace. International peace would be in similar vein.
oooh the irony in this statement. If I could only monetize that somehow!!!

If diversity was truly a strength why would he threaten to voluntarily give away that which makes him "strong"?... Who was the last "dictator" you can think of that willfully wanted to give away an advantage?

Rather than having an elitists take on the matter while calling others fools, maybe you should reflect a little bit as to why he would make such a threat. If you think about it for more than two seconds you´ll come to the realization that he´s threatening because, unlike you, he understands the nature of what makes this a "threat".

No? Your child labor example shows exactly why. At some point, the inherent tendency for a certain type of work to be exploitive means that the correct solution is to ban it entirely. We didn’t regulate child factory labor, we banned it. (Of course, we prosecute factory owners who use child labor, and not the children, but we could do that with sex work too.)

> We interviewed 854 people currently or recently in prostitution in 9 countries (Canada, Colombia, Germany, Mexico, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, United States, and Zambia), inquiring about current and lifetime history of sexual and physical violence. We found that prostitution was multitraumatic: 71% were physically assaulted in prostitution; 63% were raped; 89% of these respondents wanted to escape prostitution, but did not have other options for survival. A total of 75% had been homeless at some point in their lives; 68% met criteria for PTSD. Severity of PTSD symptoms was strongly associated with the number of different types of lifetime sexual and physical violence.

Decriminalization doesn’t fix these problems. https://orgs.law.harvard.edu/lids/2014/06/12/does-legalized-...

> Countries with legalized prostitution are associated with higher human trafficking inflows than countries where prostitution is prohibited. The scale effect of legalizing prostitution, i.e. expansion of the market, outweighs the substitution effect, where legal sex workers are favored over illegal workers. On average, countries with legalized prostitution report a greater incidence of human trafficking inflows.

That’s why I bring up Epstein. Consider Stallman’s defense of Minsky: “she probably presented as willing.” What does the regulatory regime look like? Does requiring a license guarantee that women are willing, and not merely presenting as willing? Do inspectors come around and check that pimps aren’t physically abusing women or plying them with drugs? Legal prostitution gives cover to illegal prostitution. And it creates demand that can be satisfied by either legal or illegal prostitution, but where customers have no way to discern the difference.

It baffles me that in order to request a file from some database you need to write a letter to a person who then responds back after a month.

I was under the impression that it was the Taliban who brought the US to the negotiating table.
I'm surprised at this - seems bizarre that it's a 'great product' but isn't commercially viable in any way?

As an aside, I really can't understand why people are so enthusiastic about Dyson products - I find them to be poor to use and poor performers. My gf has a dyson vacuum cleaner (a v6, I think), and it's terrible. Battery life is minimal, the suction is poor compared to anything I've used in the past, all the novelty parts of it (motorised roller, etc) turned to filthy junk pretty quickly, and it trashes the bearings for the carpet roller with monotonous regularity as it can't deal with hair (household with three females with long hair). Emptying it can only be described as like giving a Wookee a prostate examination - it's a revolting process that makes mess everywhere and means I have to scrub my hands afterwards (it doesn't empty like it does in the advert if you have any hair present in there, which there always is in my case).

I had a V1 dyson back in the day, and it was useless as you couldn't get under any furniture. Dyson hand dryers in public toilets don't dry your hands in the claimed 10 seconds, they take about the same time as any other dryer, and usually lead to wet washroom floors as they blow the water all over the place.

I just don't get it - is it form over function and people go mad for them, but clearly I'm missing something. I know he employs incredibly clever people, and no doubt things have been engineered within an inch of their lives, but it always seems they're optomising variables that I don't care about.

I get what you're trying to say, but this comment is really far off of the mark. It's good to care about Chinese culture, but it's another thing entirely to elevate culture over human rights.

What does it matter what the average Chinese citizen thinks about this? By pulling the app, Apple is taking the side of an oppressive regime against Hong Kong. Whether or not 90% of Chinese citizens agree with Hong Kong is utterly irrelevant to the conversation. They're not the people being oppressed.

I don't care if the average Chinese citizen likes Hong Kong, any more than I care about whether the average Chinese citizen likes Muslims, or any more than I care about whether the average US citizen likes immigrants or LGBQT+ citizens.

The opinions of the oppressed matter, the opinions of unaffected third-party observers do not, in except that their opinions spur them to action to help the oppressed.

If 90% of the Chinese population thinks that HK is just a misbehaving tiny city that needs to be brought into line, then 90% of the Chinese population is wrong, and Apple is wrong to side with them. Human rights are not a cultural artifact, they're not decided by majority. They're recognized, not granted.

May I take this opportunity to recommend Epiphany, a new blogging experience tailored for tech content?

https://epiphany.pub/post?refId=2684bc94f9fcb9ffe637ebfbeba2...

Epiphany is a crossover of Jupyter notebook and Medium.com,

Not only can you write text, you can also program on it, to create interactive examples, see:

https://epiphany.pub/post?refId=4c411b8a0b5207739f97e787d2af...

In addition to interactivity, Epiphany implements version control, forking and pull request. You can collaborate with others just like you do on github.

https://epiphany.pub/history?refId=2684bc94f9fcb9ffe637ebfbe...

It also has the social publishing feature as seen on Medium.

Finally, users own their content. Epiphany has a download button to allow downloading all blog data.

The format used by Epiphany, unlike that of Jupyter, is in plain text and is human readable.

disclaimer: I made Epiphany

In Dyson's case they also have a fair amount of consumer focused industrial design and marketing chops and brand recognition.

But yes, batteries and motors get you a long way toward producing an electric car. At first approximation, EVs are batteries, motors, and motor speed control systems, essentially huge equivalents of electric RC cars that many played with as children.

I suspect that VW's big push into mass market electric vehicles (the ID3) probably made them reconsider, especially given VW's production scale in the mass market segment. Consider the heroics Tesla has had to undertake to ramp to the scale they are at. My guess is that they are the last "new" car maker who will make it through the finish line.

It seems to me we can't afford to not think philosophically about it.
The problem is: USA are safe behind the two oceans (neither Canada nor Mexico pose a serious threat to them), so it is easy for them to bully other nations around the world. Since the end of WWII there were over 200 military conflicts started by the US, out of maybe 250 total - 80%.

I really wish Secession war ended differently, with South gaining independence, and at least two rivaling countries coming up as the result.

> They are paid £37.75 a week to live on. This is not a lot.

Shifting discussion from the cost of refugees to talking about only the food cost, or whatever it is that £37.75 a week amounts to, seems like a deliberate dodge. I'd be pretty insulted if I was from the UK. Obviously that's not a lot of money because obviously its not the whole picture.

What they are paid, or that they are paid at all, is never ever a relevant £ figure in these discussions unless its introduced to make it sound artificially small. When discussing cost, nothing but the total £ cost per refugee matters.
I quit smoking for the vape. I had a cigarette the other day and there was a deeper buzz to it than the usual nicotine from the vape. So, I am inclined to agree.
Unclear if you’re sarcastic or not.

At least in North American high schools we are taught pretty thoroughly that Nationalism was the root cause of both WW1 and WW2.

I’m Canadian and while we are proud to be Canadian, Nationalism is looked at very skeptically and Nationalism for its own sake would make me think the person preaching it is uneducated.
Dyson moved it's HQ to Singapore with the CEO stating: “We have seen an acceleration of opportunities to grow the company from a revenue perspective in Asia"

I don't see why this makes Dyson a terrible person.
Well, his move to Singapore apparently was to address the lack of finding engineering talent in the UK which has been a chronic issue in the UK for a long time.

Simply finding talent elsewhere doesn't make Dyson a 'bad person' and this move has nothing got to do with the EU or Brexit in general.
And so far the U.S. government hasn't even chosen to take much less drastic measures, which was my point.

“Americans” aren’t one singular entity. Some people didn’t like it when protestors blocked a highway, other people supported it.
Another "problem" is that despite its corruption and autocracy, the CCP still manages to make life better for the average Chinese. On the street it is not a hopeless hell, so right now giving up some of their freedom looks like a good deal to them.

With the caveat that people are essentially forced to conform to the model of "average Chinese." I would conjecture that many Chinese do not know what regional, cultural, or ethnic indigenous groups they belong to because the pressure to conform to the Han majority is so great that their parents or grandparents self-censored when talking to their children.

It's also been repeated many times but it bears repeating that in Xinjiang China is attempting to erase the culture of ethnic Uighur people on a mass scale. China previously did a similar attack on Tibetan culture. This is not good. It is a terrible crime.
Having kids is pretty hypocritical in the context of spouting “personal responsibility” when it comes to climate change.

Also, having kids doesn’t give you anymore reason to be angry. Despite the alarmism, your children will being growing up with more abundance than you did.

On the Razakars etc.: the report is unimpeachable—Nehru commissioned the report but it besmirches his claim to have unified India relatively peacefully. And yes I acknowledged above that Pak is worse—10s of millions is probably a high figure for ethnic cleansing at the moment but I can’t really defend what’s happening in Balochistan.

Europe: because things have been so poorly managed reasonably high proportions (~1%) have been accepted. Also I don’t see why integration is needed in India given very great cultural proximity.

As for knowing they were illegal migrants, some don’t—the need for papers only became apparent recently and some can’t find them. This is an unavoidable problem.
I'm not sure if that refutes or supports the above point... :D
That was my point regarding it not being a linear relationship and only working on somewhat rational actors (not on somebody that is on drugs and completely out of their mind for example). Getting caught is irrelevant if it has no consequence at all. If there is zero punishment (meaning no negative consequences and you get to keep the loot), but you are 100% sure to get caught, you have incentive to commit e.g. robbery, but zero incentive not to. If the punishment isn't negative (i.e. "you get $1000 for getting caught"), getting caught is also irrelevant. Getting caught only becomes relevant when it has consequences you'd prefer to avoid: punishment.

The point isn't that punishment isn't a deterrent, it's the only external deterrent (and you could argue that a bad conscience is self-punishment). It's that the likelihood of getting caught is a very important factor, not so much the severity of the punishment.

In RTS games, there's the idea of overkill: a unit (or set of units) does so much damage that it would kill the attacked unit multiple times. That's a problem, because you waste a lot of the damage, it's generally more efficient to do less damage more often for the same DPS (damage per second). I believe that you can think about punishment in a similar way. With the likelihood of punishment staying the same (for example: 10%), a hike of "somebody stares angrily at you" to "you spend 10 years in prison" very much acts as a deterrent. You get barely any more value out of that being 20 years though, because of "over-deterrence". Here as well, the same punishment with more frequency (=likelihood of punishment) would be more efficient.
Good-Bad is the wrong scale. WW2 was a justifiable and necessary conflict.

That's different than "good". The only reason that WW1 is seen as pointless and throwaway is that the scope is such that we can sort of internalize the horror and pointlessness. End of the day, WW1 and WW2 was the same conflict, and the scale of it was too horrific and too big for a human to appreciate.
