The Iowa Democratic Party was quite clear that their explanation was that the numbers being reported through the app were inconsistent; the reason there are three sets of numbers (first alignment, second alignment, and state delegate equivalent) reported from each precinct and then aggregated this year is that multiple candidates in the last cycle complained about apparent inconsistencies in the final results vs. there internal tallies (because voting is not private in caucuses, campaign precinct captains tend to report out results to the campaigns), and the DNC imposed transparency requirements to provide confidence in the final results.

Some suggestions:

- Build something. A new workbench for your office. Fix up an old car. Build a pull-up bar in your garage. Use your hands, cut some wood and metal, and treat yourself to a new tool or two. Do this with every project and you will have a nice tool collection before you know it.

- Learn to take pictures on a manual camera. You can do this with a modern automatic camera if it has a manual mode. Learn about ISO, f-stop, and shutter speed and the interplay of those three variables. There's a fantastic multi-part tutorial on Reddit that can help you learn these things. I don't have the link handy but you can Google for it.

- Set a goal of cooking for yourself at least two nights a week and eating leftovers two nights a week. Buy a binder and some clear inserts and start to put together your own book of favorite recipes.

- Take a nightly walk.

- Listen to classical music. This one didn't come to me until my 40s but I finally realized: there's a reason that this music has been popular for 300 years. Opera is great, too. Listen to Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro". Download the KUSC app and listen to the amazing Metropolitan Opera broadcast every Saturday morning at 10 AM Pacific.

g is not a constant. It’s the measured acceleration at sea level on earth. Travel into orbit or to another planet and g will be different. The proper equation is:

F = GmM/r^2

Where m and M are the masses of the object and earth respectively, G is Newton’s universal gravitational constant, and r is the distance between the centre of masses of the object and earth. So why is there no mass in your little g? Because the force is directly proportional to the mass of the object (holding earth’s mass constant and the distance from it constant).
I'm surprised how quickly it fell apart too! I joined the company thinking it has had stable growth for decades. Certainly with the founders in their 80s this should not have been a surprise!
After trying a few different options I have ended up on the (seemingly very uncool) Pimsleur program (available for cash lump sum or monthly. I am paying monthly). For me, one of the biggest challenges in French is how a lot of words get blended together and are spoken very fast. It's easy to hear what seem like new words, but they're actually things I know, but spoken as native speakers do. This listening concept is extremely important for me with French in particular. To contrast, I speak Swahili too and learned it differently, where I wouldn't say there's as much of a demand for emphasis on listening to native speakers.

Some other alternatives I tried first include:
Chatterbug: Nice combination of tools/methods, but expensive and I'd need to pay a much higher price to get the kind of listening I need. A side note on these guys that's relevant for this site: they do a lot of ruby/rails stuff and have a nice graphql gem called cacheql.

French Uncovered: Interesting idea and fun method of learning, but the "book" material wasn't as long as I'd have liked and I would have liked to do a lot more listening. The self-study written materials are decent, but felt slow and like a forced way of trying to cram information into my head, where I personally do better getting that stuff naturally.

Language Transfer: Great free option, but doesn't have native French speakers and the French course doesn't good too far.

I've also done the apps like Duolingo, but the listening and speaking isn't what they do best. I basically get great at Duolingo, but not at being able to use the language.

Depends how you look at it - they certainly had an impressive account surplus, for 4 consecutive years (currently world leading $293b).

> 1 good job became 2 bad jobs, which meant less contributions into welfare and pension funds

This means lower contributions but also much lower payout for welfare.

AFAICT domestic demand in Germany is still strong, but clearly attempting to boost it through welfare proved to be an inferior strategy.

People have been talking about it for a while. Iowa is really really white [0] so people have been saying for a long time that maybe the first state (or group of states) should be more representative of the country as a whole.

[0] 90.7% white to be precise where the rest of the US is 76.5% https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/IA https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/US

Since Iowa holds a caucus, not a primary, it does not apply to New Hampshire's law. Iowa's law says the caucus must be "[a]t least eight days earlier than the scheduled date for any state meeting, caucus, or primary that constitutes the first determining stage of the presidential nominating process in any other state." New Hampshire requires "7 days or more immediately preceding the date on which any other state shall hold a similar election." Apparently the caucus is not considered a similar election.

Liquid hydrogen and liquid ammonia have almost 10x the energy density of current battery technology. If you could go all the way to synthesized hydrocarbons it's another 2x.

I'm not sure efficiency matters that much when you have far more energy production capacity than you need but it's concentrated in places and times where you can't use it.

As for costing more: compared to what ? Batteries don't seem like an economically effective option for storing solar energy at massive scale, do they ? And in any case they don't allow the stored energy to be shipped to other locations.
If anything it sounds like they paid next to nothing for an app and then got what they paid for.

>Your unstated assumptions are that capital gains are the entirety of value and this is a zero-sum game. I posit that CEOs and the 1% are playing[0] a negative-sum game by shipping jobs overseas and underpaying their workers. Even though it is a net-loss to the system, their incentives are such that they defect at every turn since they gain more from a "loss".

It's not a net loss to the hundreds of millions of Chinese and Indians who have been lifted out of poverty in the past couple decades. Their gain has vastly outweighed what the American working class lost.

IMO if there’s any place on the east coast that can handle this (other than maybe NY but then again maybe not) it’s you guys. Every time I’m up there the metro lines and VRE get longer and there are one or two more high-rise apartment buildings. The price for a starter apartment is about the same as it is in most small American cities because of that.

Could it be better? Yes but I don’t think it’s better anywhere else.

The cooking thing really hits home. I work in a high stress, banking environment at a fortune 500 company, and I eat out most days. I know theoretically how to cook, but between the time it takes to shop, cook, and clean, AND I'm doing well financially it's so hard to convince myself to cook. Living alone doesn't help either.

Blame Google for making what should be the normal way to install applications so hard.
I'm not exactly sure what studios to do in this situation -- WINE looks like cheating. It's not like there's some secret council that's like "mruhahaha Fortinte will be the destruction of gaming on Linux" -- it's that having stronger cheating protections is worth more than the losing the revenue of Linux gamers.

The number of Linux gamers who can't/won't boot into Windows for a game is a tiny portion of an already tiny market.
The usual argument for using "cloud" over managing your own files/data is that it's very hard to safely manage your own data without making mistakes (data loss, etc). However, this is an example of how companies like Google also make mistakes. Furthermore, when Google/FB makes a mistake (like leaking your private data) they do it at a global scale.

I offboarded myself from all of Google's services a while ago, but I also think "cloud" is dead, at least in the cases where the cloud service holds the encryption keys on my behalf. I don't trust, and never will trust, any company to hold on to my data without either selling it to a third party or accidentally leaking it.
> Not sure how you can change that without having them change that law.

You can change by having either of the national parties set rules about primary/caucus timing and declaring that they won't seat delegates chosen out of line with those rules.

Heck, the whole reason Iowa has to report more dimensions of data this year is a DNC rule (not on timing, obviously) adopted in response to complaints about the results last cycle. So we know the party committees rules do direct the administration of state nominating contests.
Why does this matter? If we expand the timeline to the last 200 years, the gains in agricultural productivity have gone to a very small subset of the population (around 2%). This is in fact the major reason you're able to write comments on the Internet rather than having to plow your field. I'd rather live in a world where we can maximize the productivity gains of the entire population and let us have more leisure than one which we jam the gears of the machines because we're jealous that any given productivity gain has a power law distribution.

Your comment about "distribution of money" and "distribution of wealth" makes no sense, but let's assume that by "money" you mean "income." By definition, looking at the distribution of anything is zero-sum. The problem is, growth has nothing to do with distribution and everything to do with production. Production is not a fixed-sum game: you can have positive-, negative- or zero-sum production at any given time. The chief question of production is how do we produce more wealth using fewer resources, or more efficient combinations of existing resources? How we should distribute that wealth, income and control over the products made is an ethical and political question (though I am strongly opposed to any scheme that seeks to deprive a person from owning the product of her labor).
Yes. I intended that more as an abstract example for a tool that's useful to do science, but clearly not a science in of itself[1].

Though latex might still come in handy once you actually want to submit papers to journals, or for a thesis. YMMV.

Wow, the students have a lot of money! And they arent spending it wisely. Whats the point of education if somebody else does it for you? Just the diploma?
> I think much more than healthcare and education, investment in infrastructure, industry and research were somewhat "redeeming" features of the brutal totalitarian regimes in Romania at least.

Investment in industry, infrastructure and research are not lacking in capitalist countries with the relatively minimal conditions of security of property, freedom to contract and rule of law. The Communist investment in education is just unparalleled at the same level of output per capita. Ditto for healthcare. The CCP killed more Chinese people during the Cultural Revolution than the Japanese did during their invasion of China and they still look good in terms of lives saved by virtue of bringing very basic healthcare everywhere.

> More to the point, most ground-breaking research, especially computing and rocketry, has actually come from the state in the capitalist USA, with private capital only serving with mass-marketing of those technologies once proven out and gifted from the public to the private space.

Basic research is definitely a strength of government. Development isn't. You need the R and the D and private industry is much, much better at the latter than any government ever has been.

> Also, a non-capitalist society would not be investor-less. It would instead spread investment opportunities to vastly more people, and would encourage them to band together and pool their investment in worker-owned enterprises. This is in stark contrast to the totalitarian state capitalism of the so-called "communist countries".

There's nothing to stop workers forming cooperatives under capitalism. Worker-owned enterprises abound in law and accounting and used to be common in banking. The cooperative movement is going on 200 years old. We even have a reasonable explanation for its failure in that employee owned businesses have a disincentive to expand as they maximise profit per employee not total profit.
I've come to believe that introspection is the one true real superpower.
