D3 can do this type of rendering, but d3 data joins and selections are often difficult for people to understand and master. The beauty of this approach is that it bypasses all that and uses map to loop through the geoJSON features creating each path element.

To me this is more readable and easy to understand, but you don't really need react to do any of this. This can also be done with plan js.
* Addressing climate change is not going to be easier if there is an economic collapse.*

Growth is tied to emissions of GHG. Economic collapse will decrease growth. A correllary will be large numbers of early deaths (as seen in the ex-USSR) which will further reduce consumption and GHG emissions.

And, soon we will all be on Elon Musk and Richard Branson's space arks on our way to terraforming Mars.

Oh, plenty of people own cars in these little towns. Most households have one, I'd bet. And getting from town to town without a car is...challenging. Possible, there are trains and buses, but it's hard.

But for day to day errands, you don't need a car, you can get by fine without one. That's the difference. You have a choice, whereas in the states you don't. Small towns in the US are mostly hilariously walking-hostile, and public transportation is effectively non-existent.

I admit, it's a bit amusing to see how often Americans treat this as something that must be either-or. When I talk about German cities being more walkable, or having public transit, so many assume that this means driving is either impossible or impractical, as if it was not feasible to support more than one mode at a time.

Though I suppose I can't really blame them, because that's more or less how things work back in the states: most cities are designed for cars to the near-exclusion of all else. You can walk, but there's nothing in walking distance from the residential areas. You can bike, but it's dangerous and uncomfortable. You can take a bus, if you're okay with tripling how long every errand takes.
(Not that I buy into any conspiracy theories, but...)

I'm guessing it's because Ghislaine Maxwell (who has now gone underground, whereabouts unknown) was intimately tied to Epstein, and her father Robert Maxwell has plausible ties to Mossad. (Check the Wikipedia on Robert Maxwell.)
I feel like that's a misunderstanding of the issue. Recursive dependencies are orthogonal to the issue of having an ecosystem of dependencies. There is a pattern for recursive dependency management (did you notice the `boost_deps` recursive dependency call?) that is currently fine for production that recursive workspaces will make better.

Also as demonstrated Boost is way easier to include in bazel than make which was the original issue under discussion.

I make a library that depends on boost, here is how you use it:

git_repository(
name="foo"
...
)

load("@foo//:foo/foo.bzl", "foo_deps")
foo_deps()

PG&E employees are not guaranteed salaries, pensions and benefits by the state. This means they need to stay competitive as they may get fired if revenues drop.

I'd personally have more faith in a privatized company or a government entity (rather than a public company) because the lack of ability to freely trade shares means shareholders are more aligned with the long-term mission of the company.

With public companies, the people who own the company don't even live here and they only own it to make a quick buck. They'll live in an armchair in Wall Street and short sell in a heartbeat to make quick bucks on the downturn, not realizing that their trigger-happy, short-selling behavior is actually hurting California residents who depend on the company to be funded at the worst of times to fix problems and upgrade infrastructure.

Supposedly a key problem with those nationalizations is nepotism. Venezuela nationalizes this or that company, and replaces their leadership & upper management with friends & allies of the regime- who happen to know nothing at all about producing sugar or oil.

Presumably if California nationalized PG&E, it would be run by people with experience running utilities, not Hunter Newsom.

>Oops, guess some parents are going to have a bad time.

No it's the 46 year old alone on the monkey bars who's going to have a bad time. At the very minimum police will run them off. There are plenty of cities that have ordinances banning unaccompanied adults from playgrounds, and a 46 year old who insists on doing this is just going to ensure their local municipality passes such an ordinance.

I personally don't care if an adult wants to play on a playground, but making a kids only zone is hardly bigotry in action.

> Strictly, realizable paths are an extremum (maximum, minimum, or inflection point) of the action.

At a realizable path, the action can be a local minimum or a saddle point but it's never a local maximum.

Tangentially, while "principle of least action" is a misnomer, it's not too severe of a misnomer, because realizable paths always minimize the action on a short enough time scale.

Delivery services basically gave restaurants a never-ending source of business that requires no seating, wait staff, or overhead of any kind, and their response has been almost universally negative. I don't get it.
I'll add to this from my experience in the Army because they really grok this concept. If my platoon sergeant overheard me telling a private, "you don't know X and Y," he'd dismiss that private, and he'd be demanding to know why I hadn't trained and mentored that soldier and what my plan was to fix the situation.

A good supervisor may often start by giving you a broad or vague objective, "I'd like you to understand X and Y," but if you don't get there, your supervisor's responsibility is to figure out why and develop a plan of action.

> ... that company has the responsibility to give you focus and training on the requisites.

There are specific business reasons behind this: they need to maintain a team of people who are delivering enough value that the company can fulfill promises it makes to shareholders.

> The blame is never on the IC, unless they're not trying.

In the private sector, this is true, the IC won't get blamed. They'll get fired, and the supervisor will get blamed, but that doesn't help you much.

To make it work, the junior IC needs to build confidence in his managers that he's able to produce at the team's level. And you can take action, probably as simply as saying, "let's make some kind of agreement here that has specific deliverables."

To work out a plan, it helps to consider what they're looking for with stuff like "you should know how to X by now."

Contrary to popular belief, technical work is not a meritocracy, it's a mediocracy. If you're much better than everyone else, you can't share your work, and if you're far behind, you're not able to contribute. Having a bunch of people on the same "level" enables throwing more bodies at a problem.

> Never feel ashamed for not knowing something...

I'll add another thing to not be ashamed about, which is not being good enough to stay on a team. Even if it's theoretically possible for anyone to learn anything, time and expertise in teaching are scarce, so "train person A" has to be compared to "replace with person B."

Another military anecdote: I signed up as a cavalry scout, and learned to my dismay that I have no sense of direction. I managed to get by and finish my enlistment, but it was enough of an impediment that I'd never make rank.

It may be fucking soul-crushing, but it's not shameful if you give it your best. Work out a plan to get yourself to where you need to be, but account for the fact that failure is always an option. Prepare to take ownership of it, to candidly reassess your strengths and weakness and be ready to drive on. And be glad you didn't sign up for a goddamned five year enlistment.
Hasn't Project Veritas burned any ability to claim to be a factual outlet at this point?

The conjectured story is concerning, but the fact that Project Veritas is the primary source yields a quite shaky providence. I'd much rather BBC had found better corroboration before running such a story.

Did they, though? I can't find any news story about catastrophic failures of yoga/exercise balls at the University of Michigan (or another university).

I’d like to preface this by saying I support full legalization.

Incentivizing the legalization of drugs (or any vice for that matter) through tax structures makes me uncomfortable. I worry that it creates a positive feedback loop where the government generates tax revenue off it’s population’s addictions. Under this, it seems that effectively treating addiction is a double loss for the gov. It cost tax money to treat addiction, and the addicts were generating taxes.

I watch what legalized gambling in Illinois is doing. Those video poker machines at local restaurants are destroying lives. But with the current tax structure, the _state_ is the addict because it is dependent on the taxes those machines are generating.

It sounds like therapy would be helpful for you. It's highly unlikely they will think your "rights need to be taken away" unless they think someone is going to get physically hurt.

If you can afford it, many therapists accept cash only and in that case, they don't have to diagnose you with anything since they aren't reporting to insurance. You also don't need to go to any therapist that isn't right for you.

> External capital is, to date, the best system for sponsoring disruptors and for building out new capital.

Actually AT&T, before being broken up, ran under a regime that required it to invest and gave us a lot of foundational tech and basic science that still serves us today. Though the stock and bonds were traded on the public market they were so tightly regulated they were more like an of-balance-sheet entity like Fannie Mae.

Of course under such a regime they also found various loopholes and such that held us back in other ways. But since the breakup, infrastructure investment has plunged.

In the net I'm not sure if it was good or bad. Just pointing out your assertion is not absolute.

Without putting much analysis into it, IMHO whenever Apple would sell an iPhone in Germany the effects are as follows:

Goods export worth the "wholesale price" from China to EU;

An EU company (Apple entity in Ireland or Netherlands? the 'double Irish sandwitch' arrangement which IIRC is still used is a bit tricky, but one of these) earning almost all of the profits of that deal;

The shares of publicly traded USA company 'Apple' appreciating in value because the value of the EU company that they fully own increased because they gained profit and cash (but which won't be repatriated to USA due to tax reasons).

IMHO that sale wouldn't have any direct effect on USA trade balance and on USD supply/demand.

Does this make sense? Am I getting something substantially wrong?

Let me further clarify: Lightning is not worthless and has already become the basis of a new industry of apps and services.

Like any low-value transaction using bitcoin, like the proverbial cup of coffee, it’s not necessary to wait for even one confirmation before doing anything.

Plain vanilla lightning uses a UTXO (that’s what a bitcoin on the blockchain is, an unspent transaction) to open a channel. But you don’t have to wait 10 minutes for at least 1 confirmation before using the payment channel.

I’ve received multiple LN transactions with various LN apps and it’s always been instant.

Once the payment channel is opened, it stays open as long as it needs to. But the killer feature is being able to transact without requiring the underlying bitcoin blockchain; it’s only required once the parties decide to close the channel.

Same thing with multi hop payments.

There are many enhancements being worked on, like loop-in, loop-out and submarine swaps, which handle providing liquidity to enable transactions and the ability to make swaps between chains, like being able to “swap” between bitcoin and light coin if that was desired.

There’s also work happening to enable one on-chain UTXO to fund multiple payment channels in one go.

So tens of thousands of transactions can take place without touching the underlying blockchain.

So there’s no lag when it comes to opening or closing a payment channel.

There are no scalability issues; we’ll have more LN nodes than Bitcoin full nodes (about 55,000 worldwide) by this time next year and it’ll be fine.

Rates going from 10% to 15% means an average monthly payment on a repayment mortgage with 15 years left to run would have increased by nearly 30% overnight (assuming mortgages at 2% above base rate). This was announced in the jaws of the early 90s recession.

To put that in context - today the GBP bank rate is 0.75% and the average mortgage rate is probably c.1% above that. The base rate would have to rise to more than 5% to get the same size effect on the monthly cost of a repayment mortgage with c.15 years left to run.
