It prevents everyone from getting public school English education in the province unless one parent also went to English high school in Quebec and has a special letter to prove it.

All immigrants are prevented, including those from other provinces, all French Canadians as well (unless they have said letter).

As far as I remember from speaking with coworkers from Quebec, there was a loophole as sending your first born child to a private English school ($10k) fro one year and then transferring it to public English school and after that all siblings can go there as well, but I think this is closed now...

At the same time the majority of the separatists leaders children go private English schools...

It's uneconomical to let the homeless remain homeless. Such a blindingly simple fact.
Landfills can be capped and farmed for methane, dairy farms can also be capped and farmed for methane, usually to fuel the farm itself as I have personally seen done, and natural gas facilities could capture a lot of their emissions if they were willing to spend a few extra pennies. Those are all solved problems, but we let profits dictate which technologies we utilize.
I love that there is a Cthulhu region, especially given that Pluto is Yuggoth. :)
> I hate to be so harsh, but the bleeding hearts would be a lot more skeptical of housing the homeless if they started moving into their neighborhoods.

I absolutely agree with this, and we can find data that supports this concept quite aggressively throughout US history, with one example being that racial integration in schools stopped when it came to northern cities. It was fine as long as we pretended it was a southern problem, but today the most racially segregated schools can be found in major urban centers.

Ultimately, most decisions are made emotionally, and in order to move human society to the next stage of ethical development, we will need to combine an ethical baseline of human welfare (Singer style reverse utilitarianism comes to mind) with the application of data and statistics. Unfortunately, thinking statistically is difficult, and the human mind is capable of rationalizing emotional decision making before the thought it complete.

Ultimately the problem of homelessness is easily solvable from some pure mathematical/economic standpoint, but fails for the same reason that supply/demand is not a law of human society: it all depends on rational actors, a unicorn-like construct.

It doesn't mean that we cannot apply data to our decision making, but it _does_ mean that we need to work our hardest to defend decisions based on high quality data, high quality data analysis, and well-replicated science. Housing first is an idea where all of the early analysis has been extremely promising, and the NIMBY-ism that surrounds it should be called out for what it is: emotional decision making that disregards data and science resulting in a lack of compassion for people. I will say it's unethical, but it's also completely and totally human.

I could have guessed it was UnitedHealthcare before I clicked the link. Maybe instead of buying apartments they could spend a little money on their billing system, which has literally fucked up every single medical expense I've ever had.
I actually used redis pub/sub before switching to triggers - it is significantly easier to just:

versus

INSERT INTO JOBS
redis-cli LPUSH job-queue job-id

It's also easier to configure, redis has BRPOPLPUSH for acked-queues, but it's much easier to just query jobs with a select statement from the database.
Fukushima's atmospheric release was two orders of magnitude lower than Chernobyl's - 370TBq vs. 70Pbq (cf. https://www.npr.org/2011/04/12/135353240/fukushima-vs-cherno..., https://www.oecd-nea.org/rp/chernobyl/c02.html)

There is no one, single playbook for layoffs. You can't assume anything.

If you're losing 80% of employees, that's more than a layoff. That's a severe restructuring of the entire business.

Your managers very well might not have been informed until the last minute. These things are best handled all at once, rather than slowly leaking information out to different levels of employees over time.

It was indeed established that Pluto had an atmosphere before the New Horizon flyby. The atmosphere is mostly seasonal. The air freezes when Pluto is far from the sun, and sublimates again when it's near.

It's a good opportunity to teach them.

You could ask questions that lead them to the same conclusion (with the benefit of hindsight from your experience): "What happens if this system is terminated before the final write call completes?" "How does this handle someone accidentally starting another instance of the application at the same time?" "If this external service we use is down, what happens?"

You could also walk through the story of your prior mistake, draw parallels to the new code, and then discuss how to avoid it.
thank you for posting!!!!!! and appreciate the writing compliment. so fun seeing this up here.
> Specifically because of what it represents to American minorities; an implicit threat.

Why does it represent a threat? Did Trump made any laws that negatively discriminiates minorities? Are there death camps for them? Are they not allowed to hold certain positions?
> whether something is true or not is really a matter of context and perspective.

That's a fair point.

I think your two contexts in which to consider free will are interesting. But it is ultimately a dualistic concept. In whatever context we happen to be talking about, either the will is free or it's not. One extreme of your scale takes place at the universal level. The other end takes place firmly within the sphere of the human world which we experience everyday. As you have shown, the question of free will depends on which end of the scale you want to start your argument with.

But that brings up an interesting question: where is the line along that spectrum? And there has to be a line - either the will is free in a given context or it's not. Where do we cross over between free will and unfree will?

I think these systems that supposedly influence our every behavior are situated somewhere in between the two extreme contexts you mentioned; they are not quite elemental forces of the universe, but they are also not quite part of the everyday immediate human experience.

What about purchasers who are tired of crappy FBM shipments? I bought a book on amazon FBM. It cost like $100. Turns out it was shipping from overseas and took 3 MONTHS to get to me (I was sure it would not). I had to buy a different one in the meantime.

I've bought FBM and had stuff come from china in a flimsy envelope crushed. I've no idea how they can justify shipping this crap internationally.

FBA from a customer standpoint is simply more predictable. I can get extremely short delivery times (most are next day where I am for some reason instead of two day).

Did they do any analysis of whether customers are willing to pay more for FBA? I wouldn't be surprised if they were. You also tend to get fewer boxes if you do FBA. I did a bunch of third party orders once for an electronics project (think 30 different small things) most were FBM and all came in separate small boxes which is ridiculous.
That Libre Mercado story is from 2015, when the line was still incomplete. It says "the final costs may reach $16.6B", but doesn't mention how much has already been spent or how realistic that upper-bound estimate was.

The OP article is from 2017, and likely has more up-to-date numbers (they claim a final construction cost of $6.9B). It is true that there were major cost overruns with Barcelona's Line 9, but not to the degree the Libre Mercado article implies.

More generally, readers using the Libre Mercado article as a source should be aware that Spanish media is extremely polarized on the question of Catalan independence, far more so even than current US media polarization. The Libre Mercado article is a product of that environment and reads as a hit piece on the pro-independence Catalan leadership.

On a personal note, I'm back in the US now but I used to live on a Barcelona L9 stop and the line is really nice. Fast, quiet, frequent service, ergonomic station design—OP is right, more cities should be copying it.
Right there with you friend, but unfortunately that's not how language works and there's no hard line as to what is and isn't a "hologram". Yes, you can coherently capture a real light wave field directly onto photo-material - you can also generate one synthetically, quantize your light field into spatial "hogels", eliminate an axis of parallax, constrict the FOV etc, and finally replace your interference-based "hogels" with lenses and you have an integral image or lenticular, which is different physics but exactly the same imaging principles. Every one of those stages is a "hologram" to some set of people - hardcore holographers might draw the line at analog techniques, researchers will accept anything interference-based, and laypeople will slap the label on just about anything that looks cool.

Believe me - this isn't a battle worth fighting. At the end of the day, everything is an illusion. Vision is not reality.

That's awesome! This space is still really, really ripe for tools. Looking at some of your past comments, it sounds like we're thinking about these problems / pain points in similar ways.

One of the things I observe that's potentially good for smaller players and less exciting to a team like mine is that ~80% of the market is web/react only, and very satisfied with things that are 1) narrowly scoped in terms of platform coverage 2) mostly about "stickers" or pictures of design, even as more advanced players are itching to design with more dynamic, deeply integrated component representations.

I'm curious about your thoughts on what it means to "nail it" with a full-scope / all-inclusive solution to design systems problems. Currently, I think that an ecosystem of smaller, more tightly scoped tools is the likely path forward. Designers will be plumbing together pipelines of modules that fit their specific needs, the same way a react project would today. I did a thread on this you might be interested in [1].

Feel free to ask whatever – anything I can say is fair game, and anything I can't say I wouldn't have said anyway.

Ah, didn't realize what was being referred to happened 32 years ago and right before Chernobyl. Based on what (little) I've read about this reactor in particular, safety was just one of the concerns. The other was the expense. It took 13 years to build, was dramatically over budget and more expensive to run than anticipated. In addition, according to the report I read, the reactor had design flaws in common with Chernobyl which is one of the major reasons it ended up never being brought online. A similar reactor design in France (Superphenix) was also shut down due to the same safety and budget concerns. It seems like every single fast breeder reactor experiment around the world was an economic failure.

My source seemed relatively neutral if not friendly to the idea of nuclear power, so I don't think it's just a biased source, but would be happy to read about other analysis of the situation.

> Fast reactors aren’t becoming mainstream. One country after another has abandoned the technology. Nuclear physicist Thomas Cochran summarises the history: “Fast reactor development programs failed in the: 1) United States; 2) France; 3) United Kingdom; 4) Germany; 5) Japan; 6) Italy; 7) Soviet Union/Russia 8) U.S. Navy and 9) the Soviet Navy. The program in India is showing no signs of success and the program in China is only at a very early stage of development.”
Great example of gathering and using data to effect change.

Right on. Good luck!
You are fundamentally off the mark at every single point. The basket of goods specifically excludes things such as housing which is the by far the number one cost of living here, which leaves that "inflation" figure as an utterly meaningless metric.

>> Set them at a low level. That's their job. To maintain a consistent, low, predictable rate of inflation.

Your reading comprehension failed here. I am referring to control of interest rates, which has far reaching consequences beyond inflation. This is the "fatal conceit" of socialist minded people such as yourself. No one on this planet is qualified to control interest rates.
Downvoting without offering counterargument is disrespectful and counter productive.
Germany shows that even if your cost of building a reactor was zero, you could still have the reactor shut down due to other issues.

"Following the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, Germany has permanently shut down eight of its 17 reactors and pledged to close the rest by the end of 2022." - Wikipedia

Edit: This might just be because Germany is as close to the Ukraine as California is to Texas. Also removed dumb sentence.

Company makes anti-consumer move.

Consumers react with backlash, including some that go off the rails.

Company issues statement: "Our staff have received harassment over this issue. We condemn harassment in any form. We will no longer discuss this issue"

Bonus points if the visible staff members among the incident are of a minority, then they get to paint all their critics as racist/sexist/whatever, rather than consumers unhappy with being nickle and dimed/recieving a product different than promised/etc
Yep, if you can't handle your own rebrand, how am I supposed to trust your AI to do my brand?
What's the backstory on OpenAPI for someone completely unfamiliar?
I find it hard to believe that they are completely re-designing the avionics/flight computers because of this gamma ray incident. There must be another reason.

If it's seriously the main concern, wouldn't it be much easier to just encase the computer in several inches of lead shielding?
There were basically two "scandals" recently.

- GitLab announced that they were going to start including third party telemetry. This predictably annoyed developers. They made it substantially worse by originally announcing that it would be included in self-hosted enterprise versions as well (a really big no-no from many companies perspective), and by tone deaf comments from the CFO that made it clear they were going to violate the GDPR.

- GitLab started talking about not allowing people working in support rolls to live in China, Russia, and Ukraine because of security concerns brought up by a customer. No one ever really came up with a good justification for why Ukraine was on the list, so it was removed (but you will still see references to it in some of the earlier discussions). Someone noticed the discussion and posted it here (and elsewhere). Communication around what they're actually planning on doing has been pretty poor, likely partially as a result of this being noticed on their public-yet-internal issue tracker instead of being released via clearly written messages. Some people have legal concerns about it (see: anti boycott laws), some have ethical issues, others think it sounds fine. Meanwhile the issue on gitlab itself has been subjected to intense astroturfing by largely new accounts which caused it to be locked. The new development today is that the director of compliance has resigned since they are of the opinion that what they are planning to do is illegal.

Personally I think they're still pretty well regarded, but these two events in such close proximity have definitely given them a bloody nose.

Synthetic methane production has a theoretical maximum efficiency of 30-40%. So we'd need to build 3x as much power and is actually needed, and a bunch of electrolysis and Sabatier reaction plants on top of that.

Or we can just follow France's example and build nuclear plants.

Anecdotally I think there must be.

I recently realized that I'm pretty sure I've had some form of tinnitus since I was a small child and never recognized it as such until recently. The sound inside of my ears is only there when I focus on it or if it's really quiet. The strange thing is because I always heard it when I was falling asleep as a child, it has always been associated with relaxation and rest, and so ends up lulling me to sleep rather than causing me distress like it does for so many other people.
Which agrees with my premise. The reactors are being shut down because they are not economically competitive.
I worked on USNS Maury. The T-AGS ships are incredible. The amount of technology packed on to them is bewildering. Glorified spy ships if you ask me :)
I first played Magic when I was around seven years old, when the Portal set came out. I've played on-and-off, never seriously/competitively. Before Arena came out, I had spent more time playing on Apprentice and then Cockatrice than I had with physical cards.

Arena now takes up a LOT of my spare time. I'm happy with the microtransaction system. $5 can take you pretty far when it comes to building a competitive deck if you are willing to play drafts. I've spent around $40 total across three accounts. The $5 one-time purchase is quite generous.

BO1 constructed allows you to deviate from the meta and/or counter it. The matchmaking is good, and you can tell a lot of effort has gone into cosmetic and sound effects.

I've played lots of Hearthstone and Shadowverse since both came out. I haven't touched Hearthstone in years, even though I spent close to a thousand dollars on it. I'm done with HS for good. I'll still play Shadowverse for new sets since you can always make a competitive deck for free if you create a new account and spend a few hours grinding.

I hope Wizards doesn't get greedy with Arena as it (and MTG) continue to grow in popularity. When Hearthstone got big, I expected Magic to die out completely, but it's nice to see that didn't happen.
They use generics pretty heavily too so it's not only reflection. Generics allow them to do a typesafe interface for the developer to use as well as making less work for the reflection code to do.

This project started with me studying web components. After a short while I decided that I wanted to do a "fake operating system", so I merge them both.

I also using digital ocean now, so people trying to access the live version should have no problems anymore. The icons used in the project are free to use with proper credits, so I did not include them on GitHub, but the code I used to create the live example is pretty much the same on the tutorial I wrote.
Most of it but not most useful, unfortunately.
