> What motivated Australia, Japan, and SK to sign on to this?

Most likely the fact that the US becoming more isolationist forces traditional allies to enter into agreements that they wouldn't have considered previously. In this instance, this is the first trade agreement that has had China, Japan, and South Korea as signatories. Also, despite their posturing China is a HUGE economic power and everyone in the region would prefer to ride that wave instead of be crushed by it.

> Do they not fear alienating the US?

To a certain extent the US has alienated the rest of the world with it's "America first" Trump policy. This is just the logical progression of countries moving on to fill the economic power gap the US has left in the Pacific.

> I suppose once we scuttled the TPP they had no alternatives?

Lol. Everyone else went onto sign the CPTTP which went into effect 30 Dec 2018 which was largely identical to the original TTP, excluding the inclusion of the US of course.
Ocaml is rock solid as a foundation, yet the ecosystem appears to be very fragmented. For example, not only does Ocaml not support unicode strings natively, there are several competing libraries offering this functionality. This is just bizarre. Why is it like this? Not unicode specifically but like, in general. Doesn't Ocaml have some kind of language improvement process?

My favorite quote was:

"I sit in my cubicle, here on the motherworld. When I die, they will put my body in a box and dispose of it in the cold ground. And in all the million ages to come, I will never breathe, or laugh, or twitch again. So won't you run and play with me here among the teeming mass of humanity? The universe has spared us this moment."

No, if mandated redistribution was what got growth, countries with more redistribution would have more rapid growth. The opposite is the case.

It is the profit-motivated investment that emerges when people are secure in their right to their private property that expands capital, and with it per capita productivity.

Increases in per capita productivity result in decreases in consumer prices, which translates to broad-based real wage increases as purchasing power increases. Through its effect on consumer prices, productivity growth distributes wealth more effectively than any other mechanism.

>>A simple counter example: despite having very low taxes, Ireland is not an economic powerhouse; just a hideaway for money.

Ireland was one of the poorest countries in Western Europe 40 years and has massively closed the gap with its peers since then.
I don't think you have to "defend the exploitation of the poor..." to argue that the problem is these people are not being integrated into the social/government networks the rest of Europe benefits from. The criminal gangs fill a vacuum. Insularity results from centuries of maltreatment.

Oh yes, with Hillary deleting something like 40,000 emails when she became aware of an impeding investigation, and the Democratic Party aligned media, and Deep State, barely covering and investigating it, respectively, and the same thing happening with Hunter's scandalous laptop, it is only the Republican party that is surrounded by deceit.
No one is willing to run a current account deficit. I'm assuming the "lol" is mocking RCEP overall.

One thing is for sure, as an US expat in SEA, china is #1 economically in the region as far as investing, not because they are any good, but lack of will from US investors in large… and in this environment, I'm not so sure getting in now is best because the lack of high quality collateral available to back investments if things go south (or get hold up for years like they have with projects…)

I'm more interested in to see if this will translate to more offshore usage of the chy, and offshore chy loans… if not, things will remain status quo (boondoggles)…
I don't know if you're referencing something in the article linked, but taking your statement alone, it's not that this cannot be shown, but that nobody has shown it, and nobody expects it to ever be shown.

There already exists at least one mapping of integers into integers, the identity mapping. Hence a correct proof that there exists no mapping of integers into integers (proving the opposite claim) would also tell us that FOL+ZFC (first order logic with the standard axioms of set theory) is inconsistent, regardless of whether Cantor's diagonal argument features in that proof.

In the other direction, if FOL+ZFC is inconsistent, it's trivial to write a proof that shows that integers cannot be mapped to integers that features Cantor's diagonal argument in it.

So the existence of a proof that shows that no mapping of the integers to the integers exists is equivalent to FOL+ZFC being inconsistent, and no-one has yet found FOL+ZFC to be inconsistent, or expects this to be the case.

Don't be so quick to push AZ out of the running.. we have (off the top of my head): Intel, Paypal, Zelle, American Express, Wells Fargo, Iridium, and supposedly a $26 Billion TSMC fab coming in the next few years. Tempe has offices for MS, KPMG, Norton/Lifelock, Netskope - and those were just what I could see from our LimeLight offices. That's on top of a pretty decent start-up/small biz scene.

> Elections are in the public interest and therefore should be publicly funded -- exclusively.

So me, as a private citizen, should be outlawed from making a sign on my front yard in support of a candidate with my own money? Should I be prevented from making my own website in support of issues and candidates I care about? Can I create YouTube videos with my own money to support issues and candidates I care about with my own money? This is supporting a candidate with funds outside of the public funds -- clearly illegal under your proposal! At what point is it no longer individuals expressing their own opinions in public?

I encourage you to actually read the Citizens United opinion.

Trading with China while Chinese soldiers kill our people on the border is foolish, IMO. So I support our decision here. Its a shame the rest of the world supports that kind of military imperialism.
Not really. Maybe you shouldn't lead with an absolute that you can't possibly claim to know.

> This line dismisses .. pretty much anyone advocating for change. "I proposed a solution that works for me. They don't like it. They must wish to protect the identity." Pure poppycock.

I never claimed that applied for anyone that is advocating for change.

In this case the nuclear power solution could be a viable solution (I don't care for your expertise on the subject). They have rejected a viable solution that could get us X% of the way there. Therefore that tells me they aren't interested in an actual solution. That in tells me they wish to be advocates rather than solving an issue. Therefore anything they tell me is suspect.
The reason for federal flood insurance is the “100 year flood”. As major floods are correlated private insurance struggles not to simply go bust.

Given that most buildings are built for 30-40 year spans, forcibly rebuilding once per century can be done economically.

The problems arise when hundred year floods become 10-30 year floods.

Some people believe that cherry juice can negate the effects but by far Prednisone works at relieving the pain, almost to the point of seeming like a magic pill.

Unfortunately it is a short lasting treatment as after a few times it quickly becomes less effective and it has side effects such as mood swings.

But take a 50mg pill when you can't walk and an hour later you're dancing.

I also don't blame the individuals who benefit from public sector unions, and if we somehow manage to overcome the power of the Democratic-Party/public-sector-union/media trifeca, and transition to a non captured/unionized public sector, I think the former union members should be fully compensated for what they lost.

As a citizen of a SEA nation, really excited with the trade agreement.

However one thing that bug me is that a number of media/opinion tend to characterize the deal as some kind of China nefarious plot even though the initiative came from South East Asia.

That also includes the discussion of some detail of the trade for example as explained in the article lack of focus on "environmental , labour standards, and rules for state-owned enterprises.". Again those commonly regarded as a poison pill from Beijing, instead of considering that maybe nations in the South East Asia preferred it that way irrespective of what Beijing thinks.

I almost hit 40 before hearing about the Mercator projection. My wife flew to Zambia for some charity work, and mentioned how long her flight from Ethiopia to Zimbabwe was.

> It's kind of interesting how India decided that free trade with 30% of the world is less valuable than protecting its manufacturing from china

India isn't protecting it's manufacturing from china, but rather ASEAN. China has already moved up the manufacturing value chain. The low end stuff has been getting shipped to ASEAN countries for more than a decade.

> If India adopted the chinese model (what americans call "cheating")

The "chinese" model is actually the american model. It's what japan and the asian tigers all modeled their economy around.

> it could probably compete against china even with a free trade arrangement, but they're probably not going to do that.

Compete in what capacity? China and India are in different leagues now. It's sad that people really believe the nonsense they read on the news. India is even behind ASEAN countries like vietnam when it comes to manufacturing.

Nothing you wrote made any sense.

Birding is great for relaxing. I recently picked up a camera to go with my binos and it's been awesome.
I go out to a park or my backyard for an hour or so and sit while looking for birds and taking photos.
Then when I get back I spend a little while editing them and posting to ebird.

It's not 100% free, but you can get into the hobby with some 8x42 binos (Nikon Prostaffs are ~$100 and great, but you can go cheaper). Cameras can really eat budget - there is a $300 lumix that would be fine and even a cheaper point and shoot will work.

It's like fishing. If you are patient, you can see a lot of unexpected kinds of birds wherever you are. You can bird anywhere and have a nice time. Migration is a fascinating time where tiny birds wander by, popping in your area for a day and moving on.
