But a large number of senators and representatives did go along. And others didn't, because they thought his cause was hopeless, and they decided that there was more profit in quietly sitting on the sidelines.

A more capable, less politically radioactive leader for a cult of personality might have had more success with this. There are a lot of systemic advantages in the mechanisms of how the United States operates, that assist with this sort of thing. (The best example of which is how the losers of an election have a transition period of two
freaking months, where they retain all the guns and all the power, and apparently an utter immunity to the rule of law - because the president wields pardon power, and can only be held accountable by a court that's packed with his supporters.)

It should go without mentioning, but I will also note that elections aren't a function that optimizes for people who believe in the system.

And when your aggressive negotiating is too much of a hassle for the company they just have to fire one "problematic" employee, you. And unless you have created a hellhole of a system architecture in your project that only you can maintain as insurance/backup to your aggressive negotiation, you will be surprised to see just how replaceable you are.

I didn't know the situation in UK.

Thanks for explanation.

We have lots of issues with that where I live. But our current politicians are not even willing to make gestures in that direction.
So in my mind was that they (uk politicians) were at least
doing something, even if its mostly just a gesture.

I can see how you could see that as not enough.
I’d bet that most unions (in the US) don’t have professional certifications and tests. Most unions in the US are for low(er) skilled jobs.

Collective bargaining is literally the whole point of a union (and essentially forms the definition of a union).
Charisma and those who benefited. I've heard Regan was a popular actor at that time, and you need only look to the massive defense projects and 'support for farmers' to see how popular that would make such a president among the more rural base that tend to vote Republican in the US.
The other problem here is that politicians are either oblivious or simple don't care about the cost associated with complexity in the laws. On top of that, the other unfortunate dynamic that exists is that politicians all work to get their little special case into new bills so they can point to that when their constituents ask how they influenced the new law.

Taken together, the complexity of the law just accumulates. Tax law in Denmark being a particularly gross example.
It's really simple - Americans approach politics as if it's a football game. If a guy is from their "team" then he gets support since being on the "correct" side is more important than the actual merits. So there's a LOT of people in US who have respect for someone like Reagan or Bush purely because they were on the "correct" team.
It looks like users use a different frontend than the one provided by the government. So it's users changing their own data.

So that leaves a defense against... their own users? Makes no sense.

Plus the tax payers funded the platform so it's not like the government has any legitimate interest in protecting the product itself like a private business might.
Not sure what you meant with that. This gene transfer event is a mutation and as such is also being subject to natural selection.
From evolutionary point of view it is semantical why genome changed. Also I’ve never heard of any biology textbook or journal claiming mutations would only happen during reproduction or birth. Mutations happen all the time, that’s one reason we have diseases like cancer. Your reproductive cells can mutate any time throughout your life passing out differences to offspring. There is also genetic recombination bringing out traits that didn’t exist, or suppressing ones that do.

VLC is mostly based on ffmpeg which didn't have much public commercial sponsorship for years, until the post-YouTube era, where there was some sponsorship from Google but mostly just a lot more small and large closed-source developers releasing crappy "video converter programs" and not crediting it.

It instead was mostly developed by a schizophrenic Austrian math genius in his free time from not being regularly employed, plus some other grad student types.

It's been a while so nobody actually remembers him or what he did, except for the Republican personality cult. Also, the economy did pretty well while he was president, although it was a coincidence because it was so bad under Carter.

What Reagan and Nixon mainly ran on, which is still the current Republican strategy, is making white people feel good about being white by telling them that all black people were criminals, and proving it by taking away their welfare and putting them all in prisons.
I am Russian, I know this whole encoding problem first-hand. I'm genuinely envious to people who can get by with just a single Latin-script keyboard layout.

Unicode and vector fonts have been part of all operating systems for at least 15 years. Mac OS X 10.0 that came out in 2000 and ran on 128 MB of RAM and a slow by modern standards single-core G3? It supported both these things with ease. Windows has also had W versions of all API functions that accept strings, and supported TrueType fonts, for as long as I remember. (For example, MessageBoxA accepts char* in the current system encoding, like cp1251 for Cyrillic, and MessageBoxW accepts wchar_t* which is UTF-16.)

So, no, it's most definitely not that. It's most likely the fact that people use too much abstraction to achieve simple things.
A man tries to lift a large heavy rock blocking a road and can't. He waits around for hours and when finally some travellers arrive he declares that none of them will be able to lift it, it's an impossibly heavy rock. One of the travellers lifts the rock and everyone is pleased they can move on, but not before the original man shouts:

"I'd have done it myself if only I tried hard enough."
The sad parts:

* That team is still necessary for future changes and maintenance, including security and transitions.

* The public sector has many institutions* where such a team should have tenure (and other work to fill the non-public works projects time).

Offhand, These institutions include the temples of information worship (libraries), information provisioning (higher education of all sorts; elementary and lower are for converting feral humans to educated people), and any civil engineers (civilian or military at any level).

Well, I think having contingency plans for various scenarios (and ideally practising those at regular intervals) can be a tremendous help when those scenarios actually take place. I know that NASA spent months doing full-scale simulations of every mission with astronauts and ground control, and that experience (especially of all the failure simulations) was invaluable for getting the actual missions right. I can echo this from personal experience: in a high-pressure situation, you function much better if you've thought out what to do ahead of time.

Of course, the glaring problem is that this preparation comes at a big opportunity cost - it takes a lot of time, may never be needed, and may in fact prepare for the wrong crisis. But I think in any case one ought to make sure that one has a communication and decision-making structure in place that can function smoothly in crises, regardless of what they are.

Qualchouse will be providing the fungi drivers and although potentially functional for a few decades, after 2-3 years your buildings existence will stop being supported by the upgraded city.

Neighbors will force you to upgrade because even though the pesticides for the new fungi eating microorganism are compatible in principle they are only provided in a container designed for the new buildings' sprinkler systems.

The "open-the-container" and the "create-open-pesticide" communities soon discover that competing is a thankless multimillion costs job after producing nothing.

Eventually after an upgrade the lucky ones who got unlocked on the outside end up forming militia to take control of the nearby caves. Humanity will have thus realized the early 19th century dream of a pastoral life.
Are manual loops, the kind that that can be replaced by iterators, really "hideously error-prone"? Don't get me wrong, I'll take the iterator approach every day, because the index is simply complexity I don't need, but I've never seen issues with the basic for(int i...). Off by one errors tend to happen when you start doing index arithmetic, and iterator are not going to help you there.
Exactly.

This wouldn’t as much rub me the wrong way had this been an effort of actual employees and staff at some govt agency where this were a longer term (indefinite?) initiative.

Among other things, that we get angry in public when this happens. Hopefully that someone will see at least some consequence. That we are even surprised and upset about this I think is a good sign.

I think enhanced and cruel punishments imposed as a result of institutional failures, that have nothing to do with the crime or proscribed punishment, isn't justice either.

GDP is weird. For instance, private healthcare pushes GDP up, but I'm not sure Germans would like to have a higher GDP and pay a bunch more for healthcare in a market like situation.

More generally, if you look at Europe there are actually far more startups. They generally have much lower valuations though, because there isn't as much capital going into VC.

And probably you should look at Sweden as it does better than the US on a per capita basis in terms of startups.

Yeh. I've spent years working with museums online and encouraging them to be more open about what they do - digital experiences enhance their standing in many ways. Partly it's access, partly marketing, partly education. And yes, the more people know about thing X online, the more likely that will "convert" to real physical visits to the organisation, which is normally the primary metric by which they guage success.

The main differences between the US and Europe,when it comes to tech are these:
1) VC sector in Europe is where the US one was 20 years ago.
2) The US, even though it has states, it's still pretty much one market,while Europe,even when talking EU, is a collection of counties with very different cultures, languages,and attitudes towards innovation (e.g. Scandinavia is almost cashless society by now,while Germans are obsessed with cash).

In Germany, there are a lot of so called 'hidden champions' - companies that are small but focus on some higher end, niche products, e.g. oil filters,special purpose ball bearings,etc. The same is the case in many other European countries. This stay small approach is hard understand from the US,or Chinese perspective,where if you don't make $1B in revenue, nobody's going to put you on a map.

It’s still “no one got fired for buying IBM” at play.

I can see why you’d be defensive and make a project together with the firm that is the biggest player in software for the public sector (although their reputation is poor).

What I don’t understand is why the project is a Big Bang release type thing. Or why the contract can’t have clauses about openness or interoperability? If the supplier is scared by that or charges more for it - switch. Having source visible or exposed APIs doesn’t mean they have to accept PRs (although that would be great PR)
If you look at Denmark's way (GP's example) then it is nothing like the loans you mention. The government decides how the loans are put together and buyers can pick between them. None of them are like the ones from the crash.

The weight on sand equals the weight of the portion of the ship that has been raised above sea level by the collision. The bow appears to have been raised, but not the stern. The lift is by about 10% of the ships height (or less), so 5% on the average of the ships length. That cuts the above estimate by a factor of 6. The remaining required force could be provided by a number of winches of a pull of 1000 tons each operating from the opposite bank of the canal and pulling in the direction opposite to the ship. Tugs would then have to turn the ship straight as soon as it starts getting afloat.

Hmm, sorta. Depending on the country, museums are usually financially supported by both private individuals and the state. Many museums rely on physical visitors to pay ticket prices either for entry or for temporary exhibitions. Also visitor numbers are quite often the metric of success by which funding can then be sought. So yeh, there's some limiting because of space / damage to artworks etc but on the whole museums want more visitors both physical and online.
