No idea, I think it still does. I doubt kids are being indoctrinated by it, its a ritual like lighting incense, we remember the ritual but not why or the context. Only now when people complain about it do I realize it had no effect on my patriotism. I didn't learn what a republic was for most of the years. What does one nation under god mean? No idea still.
I think the best approach is just to spread the risk. If I own a house and someone builds a fracking station behind it, I'll lose most of what I have worked my whole life to build. I shouldn't be able to buy a house and have jurisdiction over the entire surrounding area, but I also shouldn't be at risk of losing 50% of my property overnight.

To be honest, I'm surprised there isn't some kind of insurance policy that covers this kind of thing. You'd pay a premium to be protected from large value reductions, and the risk is distributed across a large number of homeowners.

> Australia's political coalitions have been pretty stable despite instant run-off voting and not having any mention of political parties in the constitution.

Coalitions plural? I'll echo the earlier sibling comment that LNP is effectively one party - a coalition by name only now, a marriage of sometime convenience.

Other coalitions are rare, to my memory, and I suspect the distinction between an ephemeral coalition and actual representative democracy is a bit fuzzy, if the end goal is to obtain compromise and consensus between multiple representatives with disparate opinions.

As to the AU constitution - it was penned at a time when the dangers of party politics, let alone two-party politics, were not as obvious. Remember, our constitution doesn't mention a role of Prime Minister either.

I'd be very happy to move towards a Swiss style approach here, or even just start with a triumvirate.

That’s interesting, as within a sentence I had dismissed your comment as rambling and moved on to the next one, without thinking it had been generated... but maybe you’re double bluffing me.
I've collected references to error handling but - I have to shamefully admit - have never encountered Common Lisp's condition system.

I'll take the time to read up on it properly, but from a quick glance it seems to me to be in the category of non-local transfer of control with a co-routine flavour.

It looks powerful, but I get the sense that a lot of language designers are on purpose trying to restrict the powers of error handling. So returning sym types or error codes are simpler than throwing exceptions which - again looks to me - to be simpler than allowing transfer of control to be decided at run time as in the condition system.

Again, very interesting. And thank you for making me aware of its existence.

Hey Chris,

Maybe tone doesn't come across well in written communication, but dismissing this as "clearly nonsense" without bothering to engage with the merit of the claim or, seemingly, even read the link seems disrespectful, to say the least.

Do you want to rephrase? :)
Fascinating, I didn’t realize Newton was into his 40s before he made any specific contributions that led to his larger widespread influence. I just assumed that, like most of the greatest scientists in history, he was in his 20s when he changed the world.

No. Not many. My best friend was an Air Force recruiter for over 20 years. Physical fitness and being in good enough shape to even attend boot camp is the single biggest disqualifer for most potential recruits.

And no, they're not interested in setting up a workout plan for the average recruit to get them boot-camp-ready. Its a waste of time. If they had the wherewithal to do that, they'd already be in good enough shape - his words, not mine.

As it turns out, the person who recruited me did have a workout plan, but only if you scored 90+ on the ASVAB, because those scores are so rare, its easier to delay entry into the Navy and shave 10-20 lbs. off someone and get them able to run 1.5 miles, do 50 sit-ups, and 50 push-ups than it is to find another person with a 90+.
That's exactly the point of 5G, if I understand it correctly.
I think you want to build your business out first. Once you're there you can use higher paying customer to subsidize lower tier customers very similar to how business travel works.

In the SaaS world, that's like Intercom or HubSpot giving their entire services or $50/m if you're a startup which is <$1M in rev, founded <2y ago etc.

The other shortcut is venture subsidized growth where you sell for cheap to show growth with the hope you'll have net negative churn and the expanded revenue will make up for it. This is highly segment dependant.

But as the founder of Intercom said: startups make a poor market, there's no recovery from death. So choose wisely.
>School performance is affected by budget, which is paid via taxation, as well as resources available from the parents' contributions.

Thats probably 10% of it. The socioecomic status and drive of the parents is probably 75% of it. If you bring in low SES people / low drive people into a successful school district its common sense the school will be worse off handling their children. So as a home owner you have lost some piece (albeit potentially small) of the good school district you paid for when you bought your house, and your indirectly having them to subsidize other peoples children, but as in articles like this, misrepresenting the data and hoping that they dont realize their having the value of their assets chipped away at in the name of social welfare.

>The cumulative effect is that poorer people receive a poorer education, which compounds over generations, and causing a negative feedback loop.

I agree and it would actually make some sense for the well off with good school districts to carry out such programs to lift other people out of poverty. but when you see articles like this that are so thoroughly dishonest about true cost, it makes sense you would outright reject it because they aren't going to acknowledge you are even giving something up. and if thats their perspective, then they can go as far as they want with it, so your are better off not giving an inch.
Was it really? I don’t believe you. It makes sense.
Indeed, the irrational support of America's war crimes and crimes against humanity indicates entanglement in a death cult. And just like any cult, it will take a great deal of effort to remove individuals from the mindset they have adopted in order to feel as though they belong to a powerful in-group.

Which is the precise mechanism the cult recruiters in this story depend on, in order to earn their daily bread, incidentally.
You can argue about which syntax is best. But irrespective, having a perfectly good boolean already, but then comparing it to true or false to unnecessarily create another boolean is always just wrong.
Well can't say I'm surprised at these reactions. Random internet dude releases opinion, followed by everyone else releasing their opinions all over the internet. Discord ensues.

Probably the same, with the same knowledge available. If you just gave a Roman Emperor unlimited use of nuclear weapons, sure, he might go ham. He didn’t even know the extent of the world. But you don’t get nukes without awareness of what a nuke is.

Given everything, I think the highest likelihood outcome is that they behave similarly.

True, but Sony has some sort of completely custom thing going on there so it seems that there's zero chance of standardization in that case.

I thought Android got VK support way back in version 7 (Nougat)? And hasn't it always supported GL ES? Not being a closed platform, support for any API is of course dependent on the underlying GPU and associated driver.

TIL. I hadn't realized Microsoft restricted access to Vulkan and GL from within the sandbox. It looks like ANGLE has supported GL ES for Windows Store apps since 2014? Regardless, I was under the impression that UWP wasn't very popular with developers anyway.

Yeah, I think the thing that made it such a good recruitment tool at the beginning was that it wasn't like most video games. I wouldn't quite call it realistic, but if you were the type of person that liked AA, you were probably a good fit for the Army. The revisions gave it more mass appeal but probably lowered the hit rate as a recruitment tool.
> How do you think manufactures can afford to sell these large screens at such cheap prices.

Screens are actually that cheap. Take a look at the monitor size/resolution price curve (for non-gaming monitors) and you'll see TVs fit perfectly on it.

Here's a random 55 inch LG panel available on Alibaba. $145 each for a minimum order of 15. That was just the first I found - I'm sure you can get cheaper (especially in bulk!)

Things like high refresh rate, GSync etc add to the cost of the monitor.

No, not really. Languages that don’t really embrace such a type can usually never make its use ergonomic. Adding such a construct to C or Java would be “trivial” but its use would be exceedingly painful.
It’s like paying for a $3 latte with a $50. You need to get your change back.
The problem then is you can avoid paying NIMBYs by manufacturing studies claiming they didn't lose any value... Which may be the motivation here. It's very easy to fudge a study, even direct analyses like this. I'm skeptical.
They are using Oxygen, Oxygen can't become radioactive for longer than a few seconds anyway.

All they need to do is filter for pure oxygen, nitrogen is fine as well.

It's really just CO2 that's the problem.
That's the point where you install a wifi jammer in your house and do cable only.
Nope, OpenAI didn't release the weights to the public, only a web API which is in private beta.
Just filter for oxygen. Radioactive oxygen doesn't last more than a few seconds.

The issue is contamination with Carbon (CO2). Nitrogen also is not a problem.

…including CMake. :-)

Although, to be fair, I think CMake did at least achieve to prove that creating a turing complete "jack of all trades" meta build system is not a good idea in pretty much every case (although I'd argue that boost had done that well in advance).

It's too sad that with the myriad of legacy patterns around in the C/C++ build space (in production), there is pretty much 0 chance of simplifying the problem for a majority of cases instead.
Better be sure and block the TV from wifi then.

> In England around 1650 coffee houses became the favourite meeting places of the English scientific intelligentsia, the astronomers, mathematicians and natural philosophers. Here, these savants would meet up to exchange ideas, discuss the latest scientific theories and pose challenges to each other.

Why don't we have coffee houses like this today? I'd go. You could argue that the web is the modern-day version of this, but I've never heard of such coffee houses in the decades years immediately before the web (1970s, 80s, 90s), so it's not like the web displaced them. EDIT: To be clear, I don't think the web is good replacement. So I'm puzzled why we don't have these kind of coffee houses anymore.

What would you say to a coffee shop, open late, with intelligent speakers, animal exhibits, autopsies[1], science experiments, all kinds of talks, painting lessons, something different every night, lots of random and interesting things to try and rekindle the intellectual coffee shop of old England?

[1] Well maybe not this one, but a Victorian-era coffee shop actually did do some public autopsies.
I mean the bigger problem is that if amount of housing determined price, cities would be waaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than towns. Available housing may drive population growth, pushing up the price, since for whatever reason people like to aggregate.
> I think NIMBYism should be accepted as-is. Existing housing has an interest in preventing new housing by default, especially down market of them

I don't think this is necessarily true. Allowing further construction and development raises the value of land, it doesn't decrease it: a square foot in a dense city is worth a lot more than in a sparse one.

Its possible NIMBYism exists on the wrong belief that it's in their economic interest to prevent new housing though I'm skeptical.

The core problem of NIMBYism is not the pulling-rope game of wanting and not wanting housing: its a crisis of tax design and political design.

If California, and a city like san francisco, eliminated sales taxes and income taxes and would gather those revenues with property taxes and land taxes, they would be so high that property wouldn't be worth a damn. (SF city alone spends something like 1000U$S per household per month)
This distortive tax does benefit old landlords, and in a state with such a transient population it should be politically popular to change that. But it doesn't because of a political design issue: renters and immigrants either can't or tend not to vote. SF population is like 25% immigrants, almost all of them renters and with no capacity to politically fight back anything.

It is my belief that these things will change when they have to be changed and not a minute sooner.
I simply asked 2 questions:

School performance has very little to do with budget except at the very very tail of low budget(we are taking broken windows, no AC, no books etc)

It has everything to do with parents. High property price is the price of admission of having your kids with other people willing and Able to pay.

See charter schools as a good example. They do not select by ability and they don’t spend that much.. but you DO have to bother to show up(enter the lottery) this is too much to ask for A LOT of parent though. No amount of spending on schools will fix that.
I thought the original setup where the vice president was whoever got the second most votes was going for that.
I wonder how much data it would take to actual cause noticeable (or triggerable) behaviors in the model. Like I've noticed certain models have been trained off of my university's course captures by their very odd and specific vocabulary/capitalization of specific terms but surely if you're scanning the entire web you'd need a lot more to sway it

Just realized they other day that PowerShell does this (parsing instead of expansion). Which means much less worrying about escaping output of arguments.
There are many, many.
Can you make the distinction between "centralization" vs "composition" of errors?

Do you mean the fact that there must be some if-statement within the API that reacts to the different errors and sets a flag used by the Err() method?

Is you opinion that "composition of errors" always requires special syntactic elements such as the match statement?

The code from the blog section:

scanner := bufio.NewScanner(input)
for scanner.Scan() {
token := scanner.Text()
// process token
}
if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
// process the error
}
TL;DR a lot of formats have “sentinel” values that are little more than “nobody sane would ever pick this value” and we end up in a conundrum when the obvious ambiguities arise.
There wouldn't be lost money at all, lots that can be turned from SFH to 8 unit condos are worth way more.
I don't think this Haskell implementation is heavily optimised per se. The only places where readability is sacrificed for performance is the use of INLINE and the custom tail-recursive function, which is not where most of the performance improvement comes from. The other improvements (an efficient RNG, an efficient vector representation, and extract strictness) are something you get by default in Rust.

I would say that if an experienced Haskell programmer set out to write this program with the intent of making it fast, they'd never use lists in the first place, and not consider their absence an optimisation. Haskell lists are designed for lazily-generated arbitrary-length sequences, and are a bad fit for representing small finite-length sequences, such as vectors.
I open them with my elbow, provided they don't have a knob. Door knobs are less popular nowadays anyway.
> steel smelting processes that do not introduce air into the steel.

Air is perfectly fine. Both Oxygen and Nitrogen do not stay radioactive for longer than a few seconds. It's CO2 that is the problem, specifically the carbon.

And of course any other random impurity.

They could just use cryogenicaly distilled air, and take the nitrogen-oxygen part (the boiling points are very close).
What do you mean? I remember the pre 9/11 days, and they were fun. I was a kid that would sit with the pilots on the jumbo jets and take pictures with them and the flight attendants, who would give me extra tomato juice. Didn't happen after 9/11 though.
> Why don't we have coffee houses like this today? I'd go. You could argue that the web is the modern-day version of this

No, I disagree. The web is not a replacement for normal social interaction. Zoom is not a replacement for in person meetings. The web does not replace an actual coffee shop, and social media or email does not replace a phone call.

Unfortunately, our newest adult generation will never understand what beauties there were in life before people only communicated electronically.
Iron bottom sound would definitely be a better bet, although the fact that it's a grave site definitely gives pause. Scapa Flow is relatively unique in that it's a large collection of ships, without being a grave site, and being near the surface.

>Had the U.S. wished to, it could have easily formed an imperial state following WW2.

Indeed, there is a case to be made that the US leadership at the time learned from the Nazi's mistakes in announcing their plans for world order to their victims, and kept America's own plans for this American imperial state in total secrecy - indeed, even recruiting real Nazi's into the CIA, and continuing their programs unhindered by public oversight under the cover of total secrecy, in order to build the American empire we have today - 2,000 military bases around the world, countless secret CIA black sites, endless fortresses of secret crimes against humanity kept from public view... America's allies buying lebensraum from her military...

And, really, this is pretty evident today. No American can quote from the CFR policies that resulted in Iraq's or Syria's or Libya's or Yemen's or Afghanistans' integration into the American empire, yet the CFR is responsible for building that very American empire. This has been a very real, and very effective conspiracy.

hi, can I ask, how would I go about learning about all these different financing methods / vehicles if I wanted to read about it by myself? And say for some reason I wanted to do an IPO/finance through a SPAC or something myself, where would I start and what would I need (assuming I don't want to hire some investment bank for me).

I used to work as a trader at an investment bank and I've always been curious about the corporate finance side of the business. I have a friend who worked in corp finance at a boutique IB and struck out by himself. He eventually ended up running his own boutique bank in China and deals almost exclusively with SPAC's by helping his Chinese clients list on Nasdaq or whatever. I was always curious how he did it and what one needs to do if he wanted to follow a similar path
