> Constitutional Republic, so no, we are not a democracy

"Constitutional Republic" and democracy are orthogonal rather than mutually exclusive descriptions. All "Constitutional Republic" means is that it isn't a monarchy and that it has some fundamental governing law. Being a (direct or indirect/representative) democracy is perfectly compatible with that. The foundational concept of government by consent of the governed and of government--as it would be elegantly described somewhat later--"of the people, by the people, and for the people" embraced by the founders is exactly that of representative democracy. The actual specific form written into the Constitution both clearly intends something very much like representative democracy while not quite being one.

> and furthermore the men who founded this nation and established the government thereof rather despised democracy as tyranny of the ignorant masses.

They despised both direct and unconstrained democracy, but while the pragmatic compromise of the Constitution clearly fell short of this, many of them certainly embraced in principle limited government by consent of the masses expressed through a combination of equal suffrage in approval of a basic law and equal suffrage in electing representatives to the government under that law, or, in the language of modern political science, Constitutionally-limited representative democracy.
Really? isn't that impractical?

I think you should be mindful of the context, but I would believe this to be a hindrance if I want to discuss specifics.

Or is this a mechanism precisely to not get lost in details?

Delayed/scheduled email to self is a thing, to answer your product question. Guess mainly for the non-tech crowd.
what they need is IF a voter id is required make it so it's super easy to get one and ALL voting precincts have to issue them at time of voting. Also make mandatory early voting where you can vote at a large number of public places from Oct 1st through 2nd tuesday in November which is also a national holiday w/ holiday pay and mandatory time off if requested.

This would make lines a less-issue because you can vote anytime you want.
1. Media reports always get it wrong blah blah blah

2. The problem is much deeper than you indicate. Classical mechanics forces an ontology onto us that includes particle, wave, force, kinetic energy, potential energy. When people are taught/learn quantum mechanics they try to stick to that same ontology. But it doesn't work. Quantum mechanics requires a different ontology. Some things are shared by the two ontologies, like kinetic/potential energy. Others like force/wave/particle are not part of the quantum ontology. Nobody is upset that you won't find the word force in a quantum mechanics book. But people continue to use wave and particle, which they should not.

3. In quantum mechanics, the state of a system is simply a complex function over the configuration space of the system. Sometimes the configuration space is continuous (like position is Real^3), other times it is discrete (like the spin). This discreteness is why it is not correct to use wave to describe the state of the system. And also, just use a different name like "quantum state" for a different mathematical object altogether and not get confused.

4. This is not hard to implement in practice. I am teaching a course on quantum mechanics, and I told my students in the first class that we will never use the words wave and particle in the course (and why not), and we have stuck to that promise still. Similarly, we have covered why saying "an electron is both here and there" are statements that you don't make within the framework of (pure state) quantum mechanics. This is a good summary of the latter concept https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/the-talk-3

Some say that New Orleans is so far behind, that it's ahead. Definitely true. The information systems in SF all feel like they were built in 2010. I've had a digital ID (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/la-wallet/id1386930269) for over a year now and it's so much more convenient when I lose my actual ID -- about 4x/year. The LA wallet has a verification system that anyone can use to verify anyone else's ID. I was in SF for blockchain week last week and I misplaced by physical ID on the way to the airport. I wanted to see a friend of mine perform at a bar in Berkeley and they wanted a physical ID. I ended up eating tasty Nepalese food next door and met up with my friends after the show because there's no digital ID in California. Once I got back to New Orleans, no-one ever batted an eye when I showed them my digital ID. I'm hoping the next step is issuing a public/private key along with the ID. It would come in handy for so many blockchainy/dapp possibilities.

I might be less ecstatic if I had a car and got pulled over and asked to show my ID. I wouldn't be comfortable handing my unlocked phone over to the state. I trust the internal walls of the mobile walled gardens more than I trust a cop.
A big reason that smaller companies (and nearly the only reason that startups) are worth so much, is specifically because big companies can buy them. Due to the boycott, Iranian companies have no option to be bought by FANG+ companies. Just look at how many startups per capital that they have compared to countries that can have their companies bought out by larger ones.
I know you used danger quotes, but it is worth noting that nothing is "soon to be coal". All coal deposits were formed in the limited (in geopolitical terms) time span after plants evolved the ability to produce lignin but before fungi evolved the ability to break it down. All of the coal that will ever exist on Earth has already been created.

What Cloudflare's Earnings Tell Us About High-Growth, Unprofitable Unicorns
Especially considering the OEMs advantage when it comes to vehicle pricing, maintenance cost etc. Uber seems like an odd investment.
Waymo seems to have the advantage when it comes to self-driving tech, although its currently only tested under ideal conditions. And they have partnerships with plenty of OEMs like Fiat Chrysler.

If AVs become a reality, cost and therefore the pricing for the consumer appears to be the only thing that will matter for the success of the app.
They are '90s codebases, they're not just "like" '90s codebases. Firefox obviously dates back to Netscape, and webkit (which Safari, Chromium, Opera, Vivaldi, and now Edge are based on) is a fork of KHTML.

Mozilla could have achieved 90% of what it wanted from a rust rewrite with a modern C++11 rewrite at a quarter of the cost. Linter rules that say "no new or delete", "either unique_ptr<T> or shared_ptr<const T>", and "only construct unique or shared ptr via make_unique and make_shared" get them like three quarters of the way there.

The thing that makes rust great is that the static analyzer is built into the compiler and has strict defaults. C++ is the same language, but clang-analyze and clang-tidy are shipped as separate packages and have more permissive defaults.

It doesn't ignore it but the premise of capital cost is that it then gives you access to potential gains. That breaks down if you are dependent on selling to a monopolist that sets prices based on their own needs rather than the market needs. In this case, local energy providers get protective about their more costly infrastructure when faced with homeowners supplying cheaper energy to the point where they charge negatively.

Right now the power market is weird because people are deliberately installing less solar than they need/want because their local energy providers are simply refusing to buy the excess energy beyond a certain number of kwh. And since they are the only party you could feasibly sell to, a lot of homeowners simply install less capacity.

Think about it, you've got engineers on the roof to install solar panels, wires, inverters, etc. and the panel cost is only a small portion of the overall cost. Why would you cap your installation at 4kwh when your needs are closer to 10 kwh and you have room for 20 kwh? That's exactly what's happening in a lot of places.

TLJ is the movie that finally broke the camel's back and let me decide to never ever give Disney another dollar for anything Star Wars until they fix it. Every single promising scene was ruined by a misplaced bad joke or intentionally stupid bad guys(so the movie would not end within 5 minutes, including the opening). The rest was so inconsistent with itself and the older movies that nothing in SW makes sense anymore.

Disney has managed to kill all my enthusiasm I ever had for SW with a single movie. TLJ felt like an attempt to show how little they care about fans of the older movies imho.

Its a phenomenal system. I dont need another app, can email myself from anywhere. Can get people to email me tasks etc.

I understand the concept of wrapping values in specific types which gives you certain guarantees at compile time. And I really like this concept and will play around with this some more because the empty something issue is something I myself struggle with. But what really urgs me is the usage of throw in the exceptional case. My goto type in these situations would be Either rather than a throw. But this would create nearly the same issues on the caller site as an Maybe would create. Now one could argue that this is an exceptional case the user or Programm can’t possibly handle. So how do you handle this then? My main usage is in Rust and here the panic! handle seems to be used as often as unsafe raw pointers :)

Some things can't really be broken down into it's trivialities unless you already know the answer.

E.g. I worked on a warehouse app before. None of us ever had before.

If you have no experience with any of this, how do you break down picking: SKU design (ours weren't just random numbers), barcode printers, and barcode scanners to be used in your software project? That part alone took us about 7 weeks. Including a complete SKU redesign because our initial test hardware worked better than some of the stuff we got later.

Nevermind all the hardware integrations, which was also new to us: multiple printers (barcode label, shipping label, pick list, packing slip), barcode scanner, a scale, all seamlessly integrated into the warehouse application.

This also reminds me, one of the services we decided to use had a serious (for us) bug that we didn't find out about until late in the game. They didn't fix it for 3 months and it blocked us for a while. So yeah, you could be very well end up integrating more than once. You can't really break that down into trivial parts.

The problem is less that controversial subjects draw contrarians than it is that anything that even approaches race is controversial; even with subjects in which the facts and science are pretty much concluded - like, say, the devastating effects of lead poisoning caused by water resource mismanagement - if PoC are to be the benefactors of rectification of the issue, said issue becomes questionable.

Given the context (American society and history), the situation is unlike other controversial topics. It's like comparing critical decision-making to kneejerk reactionism; we just can't seem to help ourselves. I feel like that's worth pointing out, above and beyond simple exhaustion with the "Actually" crowd.

Attacking any bridge or tunnel will easily create more casualties, with the added benefit(?) that they are essentially sitting ducks, unlike nuclear waste (which will move only once every few years or so, following some confidential route).

If you're aiming for maximum environmental damage, just attack an oil pipe or oil tanker at port.

I just don't see the terrorism angle for nuclear waste. There are far more juicier targets.

I'm sure this is more nuanced, and risk aversion may depend on the type of risk (ex. financial risk vs physical risk). But it still sounds really strange to me to characterize individuals who volunteered to join an organization that may (and probably will) put then in very dangerous situations as "risk averse".
as a traveller i'd of course appreciate if the prices were not to high, and i also prefer to get a full apartment for myself, and not a tiny closet in a 2-bedroom that has been sliced to pieces.

i have stayed in both kinds of places. and i agree with you that those issues are real. i'd be totally fine with a limit on occupancy, and price control.

some issues could be solved with a license that a landlord can loose if they violate the rules. including excessive noise.

so i believe it is possible to manage serviced apartments in a responsible way that do not cause problems for other people in the building.
