> Sad as it is, I just don't see long-distance rail as being economically viable in the US.

It’s not that sad. We have lots and lots of other low hanging fruit to pick.

Let’s even further improve fright distribution by rail. Let’s get mass transit within our cities and their suburbs to be less terrible. Let’s have more than a handful of cities in the entire country where people can reasonably live without cars.

Poster said "rocky _previously_ poor outcrop". If you take a look at any of the economic indicators before the early 90s, you'll see a very different picture.

There is absolutely no doubt that the policy of encouraging foreign-direct-investment has transformed Ireland into a modern and wealthy nation. The question is whether we sold our souls to the devil to achieve that. My personal take is no, but I respect the opposing opinion.

The issue today is indeed CoL, but that is a function of the government's failure to build. We were poor before the celtic tiger, we got addicted to property, the financial crisis hit us incredibly hard, and we are not building housing nearly quick enough today, especially with the (welcome!) influx of continental europeans to Ireland as multilingual workers servicing the european market for these US companies. There's a fresh batch of emigration happening now for this very reason.

> Still today in Antarctic research stations, as modern amenities dull the ferocity of the environment and digital communications keep year-round personnel in touch with the outside world, madness lurks in the corridors.

> A study of 313 men and women conducted at McMurdo Station in the 1990s revealed that 5.2 percent of those surveyed suffered from a psychiatric disorder. While this rate is slightly lower than among the general population of the United States, it should be noted that all station personnel are rigorously screened for such disorders before arriving. The Antarctic had made them lose their bearings.

Again, if you don’t want to gamble then you’re free to buy individual cards where you know exactly what you’re getting.

Even if you weigh the decks you’re still gambling, as you have no idea what is inside the packs until you break the seal. You’re just cheating to improve your odds.

If you don’t want to gamble then the obvious solution is to buy individual cards and not cheat others out of random decks.

I think it’s more ridiculous that your position is advocating bringing a gram scale into Target with you so that you can weigh cards off the shelf in order to gain a slight advantage.
It's important to state which part of Europe you're referring to, because sentiments can be quite different from one country to another. I have family in two European countries, one Western and one Eastern, and in both of those societies Teslas are even more prestigious than in the US because the charger infrastructure is not quite as developed - which means that if you have a Tesla, you likely also have an ICE car for longer trips. As you know, having two cars in Europe is quite unusual, so saying I drive a Tesla carries even more significance than in the US.

I did some more digging on Swiss referendums [0]. I thought I'd pass along what I found:

- .6% signatures required for a local referendum, 2% at federal level (somewhere else I saw 50k or 100k signatures required federally, some with 100 day time limits)

- referendums can occur between parliamentary elections (I read somewhere else that it might be typical that a citizen could vote 3 or 4 times per year)

- as per the constitution every tax is subject to a referendum, taxes are (mostly?) collected at the canton/municipality level, given the smaller size of these units people are engaged when their vote is more closely tied to their taxes and services.

- 295 referendums launched at the federal level since 1980, 124 gathered enough signatures, 14 passed, many more were withdrawn before a vote, the gathering of enough signatures having had the desired effect on parliament

- about 50% of the 124 referendums that got enough signatures had a direct or an indirect effect on parliament, many without ever needing to come to a vote

- 9% of laws decided by parliament end up subject to referendum

- parliament tends to form majorities on a per issue basis, and tends to design laws to avoid provoking a referendum

- there is no federal court to adjudicate the constitutionality of referendums, some referendums pass that cannot be implemented due to this, this was identified as a shortcoming (other shortcomings were the influence of money in politics and keeping the public informed on issues)

I'm not sure of the details and effects of California referendums, in comparison. The information above are my notes from the linked youtube unless otherwise indicated.

> Python has restricted lambdas,

Python lambdas, like those in virtually all functional languages, are a single expression.

Python expressions are somewhat limited (at least if one avoids non-idiomatic, and often somewhat ugly constructs) because Python isn’t a purely expression-oriented language, and the Pythonic way to do certain things involves statements. [0]

> no tail call elimination

True, then again, TCO has a clarity cost and lots of lisp family languages have either no TCO or self-call-only TCO, or kinda-self-call-only-TCO-via-explicit-recursion-constructs.

Python is metaprogrammable enough that you can do TCO via decorators (a couple of ways; I’ve seen
mutual [1] and self-call-only done via stack frame manipulation decorators, and self-call only done even more efficiently via a bytecode injection decorator.)

> and hardly and FP in the standard library.

Not sure if you mean hardly any use of of support for; if the latter, it is simply wrong, if the former, I haven’t read much of the stdlib source code but who cares?

> It does not have the strong type guarantees of the ML or Haskell families

Which in turn don’t have the metaprogramming capacities of the Smalltalk-descended line of dynamic OO languages. Its not ignoring things to make choices that have tradeoffs.

[0] but note that this is mostly about idiomatic, not functional limitations, there is very little if anything that idiomatically uses multiple statements in python that can’t be done in a single expression using only language-level expression elements plus built-in and stdlib functions

[1] that is, general but all participating functions must be decorated.

How does the DIY edition work? It seems to be cheaper to get that and bring your own parts than it is to get a preconfigured version. Do you just insert the missing parts (memory, ssd, wifi)? Or do you have to assemble the whole thing from scratch?
Yeah, my #1 problem with Arrival was that it completely sidestepped basically the entire point of the short story - free will doesn't exist and how the characters come to grips with that (or don't) as they start thinking as the aliens do.
The problem is unless you hold onto the stock, you are not tied to the long-term growth of the company.

I think this is really trying to optimize to keep only the high performers without having to have a traditional stack ranking system.

Interestingly, I recall the Google article about the highest performing teams not being made up of the highest performing individuals, but the best communicators. No one seems to be trying to hire to create the best teams, but still just the highest performing individuals. Perhaps there is a Moneyball in tech work.
You're not ... wrong, but I can't shake your use of the term "hobby farm voters" which is the worst kind of no-true-Scotsman aspersion, it really brings the rest of your argument down. And what is the problem with putting minorities to work on the face, that it's a kind of virtue-signaling?

It seems like that there's no inherit value in these things by your argument.

And yet, yes, there is an issue with large infrastructure projects being turned into jobs programs so the scope creeps and they never get done-- A problem not unique to transportation infrastructure, but government-funded projects in general, as the incentives for project managers in govt and politicians are aligned to continuously increase scope

> She couldn't care less about the interior not meeting your standards, because the interior looks like a spaceship and as far as she's concerned, it's the coolest thing ever

The same could be said about any new car in this segment if you disregard the competition. The Mercedes E-class interior looks like a nice spaceship, Audi and BMW deliver slightly different takes on the same.

What is it about the Tesla that resonates with her? The feel of a fully electric car? If so, can we expect to see Tesla decimated by German EVs coming out in the next couple of years? VWAG is clearly capable of pushing out a very polished product, and Mercedes is getting there too.
I don't understand these complaints at all.

Hathaway's Brand didn't want to sacrifice humanity, she just had a conflict of interest around a decision in a VERY information-limited environment. Her non-love-related argument about the black hole capturing things that would be needed to create planets more capable of supporting life - that Cooper thought was probably just rationalization - made sense and would have led them to a better decision than going down to Mann's planet did. Where we got exactly the sort of sterile environment she was predicting, like the water planet before.

Brand-on-earth's "withheld physics advancements" was sorta the reverse - he withheld his failure because his math hadn't enabled the advances NASA hoped they would and so releasing them would've been telling everyone on earth they were doomed. He decided to put the fate of the species ahead of releasing useless results that he believed would ruin the only chance the species had. (Even without that, not publishing negative results is common anyway!)

Not sure about your complaint with Murph, since you aren't specific, but both kid Murph and adult seemed consistent to me.

I HATED the magic black hole deus ex machina on first viewing, and still don't love it, but found everything up to that amazing. I think a bleaker story of founding a colony on a new planet without the magic trip back to earth at the end could've been even better, though.

We're pretty happy with the display. At a little over 200 PPI, it is basically just over the edge of "retina" where pixels aren't visible at normal viewing distance, while being less power-hungry than a 4k panel.

We offer the DIY Edition without Windows pre-installed, and will be publishing compatibility reports for popular Linux distros.

With Intel 11th Gen CPUs, the Framework Laptop handles up to four simultaneous displays (which can be 4x external displays if you turn off the internal one).

We'll be making review units available before we start shipping products out.
Ah okay. Thinking about today's workplaces particularly in IT everyone seems to a JIRA slave. Pretty soon even visiting rest room in office may require tracking via Jira ticket. So in these places I hardly see much collaboration that does not have tracking id.

I guess issue is most companies where daily work is same thing getting repeated endlessly or minor variation of it vs places developing new things. Now stories about second kind of places are so amplified that it tends to ignore the fact that most places are in fact doing repetitive and/or heavily tracked tasks which can be done remotely. And precisely for this type of work it wouldn't matter if everyone is remote / some are remote or permanently remote / partially remote.

The only way to know your value in the market is to get multiple offers and then negotiate against them. You'll do much worse if you just pursue one option, especially the option where they tell you that everyone gets the same (low) pay.

That is not a correct interpretation of that statistic.

The parachute has never "failed" in any engineering sense. The stat is taking into account all deployments, including those well outside of the deployment envelope, such as not enough altitude or too much velocity. No one can expect any parachute to deploy if you're too close to the ground.

Within the envelope of deployment, the statistic says it has a 100% success rate.
There is stuff you need to know cold, and stuff you should be able to reference. I do not want an ER doctor checking an anatomy book to figure out what they are looking at when someone rolls into the ER. I do want a surgeon to look up and learn the latest outcomes if I am going in for scheduled surgery.

They are two different skills. Good exams should ensure the student knows core principles cold (and should test that) and should allow for some level of reference material for concepts that would be more appropriate to research (maybe homework or projects?). What should be memorized vs. what should be looked up varies by professor (do students need to know the formulas to apply them? Memorize constants? Etc?).

The key here is that when I hire someone with a certain degree, I expect that they have a set of knowledge that they know cold, and they factor that knowledge into their decision making. If they've cheated to their degree and don't truly understand the concepts cold, then they may not be able to synthesize knowledge about their degree / experience and bring it to bear to have a unique perspective on the situation / problem. They may not see that a certain approach applies because they might not remember the concept or understand how it would be relevant in that context.

Anyone can google a problem and figure out existing solutions - it's more valuable if you're able to draw connections across things you've learned that matters. I've found it is harder to draw connections (and slower if it happens at all) if a person doesn't know the material outright.
I do. Because I live in an area where I need to use CDMA. Sure, there is a couple of spots in town that have other cell phone networks as well, but in a lot of spots and basically all buildings you need to use Verizon (or one of the resellers) or be without a cell signal. And sure they have LTE as well, but AFAIK the initial connection to the network is always over CDMA. And except for google maps (that freezes my phone for minutes, but is easily replaced by Osmand) and the banking app for one of my banks (I'd probably use that once a year to deposit a check because THAT technology is also not dead yet), there is nothing that doesn't work well on my Android 6 Samsung J1 Luna.

We have plenty of proof to the opposite near where I live. Passenger rail was installed in several locations with the promise of growth that never materialized. One of the lines is from downtown to an airport, through a few miles of neglected neighborhoods that never got the rush of development and gentrification rail was supposed to bring. Another goes from the city through several suburbs and has had negligible impact because ridership is so low.

People prefer not being constrained to the train tracks if they can drive, they prefer to not live near the constant blaring of horns and squealing of wheels on the tracks, and in these days prefer not to be stuck in a cabin full of potentially sick strangers for 2-3 hours a day round trip.
