I guess the "gameplay" is somewhat self-balancing in the sense that as soon as one strategy becomes dominant, there's that much more incentive to come up with a strategy that counters it. For that reason alone, in nature, and our mimicry of it, "it's a tradeoff" or rock-scissors-paper-like scenarios are much more likely than "one strategy to beat them all".
Yes but you get so much more for your taxes here that it evens out, in fact I think someone ran the numbers with Denmark and US as examples and actually the Denmark example had more disposable income after tax because the US person had to pay so much more for so much extra stuff that's included here.

It's not a contest. You don't "fix" anti-black racism with anti-Asian or anti-white racism. Racism is wrong wherever it's found.

I'm most concerned about anti-Asian racism because the problem is serious and unacknowledged. Anti-black racism is, at the very least, now acknowledged as a problem. I tend to focus my efforts where others don't.

It's the same with trump. He mostly cared about himself. The only thing he did right for his voterbase is starting the trade war. From a pragmatic standpoint the tradewar was necessary, even if it's not the best thing you could possibly do. The point is that the economy is very slow, the short term can last decades. Hoping for an economic recovery that pulls up everyone will happen one day but not within the term of any politicians of today. A tradewar is a quick hack to achieve full employment.

Launching a startup is not the same as successfully navigating the local economy and being successful.

> Below-average cooperation: While the average startup cooperates with seven established businesses, first-generation migrant founders only have two such firm ties. What's more, they work together with scientific institutions less often. Within the startup ecosystem, however, cooperation is well-established across the board.

> And "getting shot at school/street" is pretty much just a cheap shot.

It's an enormous social and political problem, caused by the way people live in US and the incentive system that rewards the stronger over the weaker and if you can't beat them, kill them.

> but I'm willing to wager that for most Americans getting shot is not a primary concern

That's the problem.

Coming from Europe I am used to not being killed in the streets, in US the risk of being shot is 10 times higher.

It's a lot!

Consider this: it is safer to go to Nigeria than to Los Angeles. Los Angeles had 300 homicides last year (they increased over 2019, during a pandemic! ) while in the comparably sized European city of Rome violent crimes went down 80% and there were "only" 19 homicides in 2020.

Also police brutality is an overlooked issue there: every year police shoot and kills around 1 thousand people in US, comparing their population to my country's, we should have 60 kills every year by the police, but in reality we have around 1 (one!) and it causes riots in the streets because we consider it unacceptable.

edit: I understand these are controversial topics and many Americans have different opinions tha mine on them, but as an European citizen and parent, what scares me the most is that these are all solvable issues, many other countries have solved them long time ago, while in US the debate hasn't even started yet.
I also understand that facing the numbers is hard for some American people, it shatters the idea of "the greatest democracy in the World", but they are unfortunately real and verifiable.

For example: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/23/us/los-angeles-homicides-...

That clip sure is crazy, but how does it show substantial risk? It's a lot of people crossing the street to enter a public park, and one person parking behind another stopped car and exiting his car. If you have a mass gathering, surely Central Park is one of the best suited locations for it.

Technically, crossing the street like this might be illegal in the US, but it doesn't seem to endanger anyone.

I sincerley beleive that the monarchy are one of the best defenders against the rise of nationalism in Britain, not just in recent times but going back to the start of Elizabeth's reign.

There are plenty of examples throughout history of movements coming to power by adopting marches, uniforms, ralies, ceremonies, symbols etc and co-opting them to their cause and calling themselves 'true patriots'. But in Britain, that's almost exclusively the relm of the Royal Family, so it's effectively impossible for any political movement to offer any of that in any meaningful way, because it's not really possible to be 'more patriotic' than the actual royal family. So yeah, if you want to feel patriotic you wave a flag an watch the queen do something quite harmless, as opposed to march with a, potentially quite nasty, group of politicians.
Terrible name. Nympho thoughts any one?
That’s a bit of rewriting history. NoSql, particularly document style stores came about at least as much as a reaction to the overweight policies & orms the sql world has made rampant at the time.

You’d be trying to store a tiny bit of simple state and all the books/articles would have you standing up read only views & stored procedures for all your crud ops. The document stores came along with a fresh perspective and easy scaling.

Then their were the columnar stores and time-series stores that really did solve the newer scale problems in ways the existing sql stores didn’t.

I’m a sql guy through and through but it’s important to recognize the nosql movement was a reaction to real pain points. Also it made the sql databases better.

So US social mobility is only slightly better (insignificantly) than the two worst countries in Europe. I think that article rather supports my claim. Italy is also rather a troublesome example, because northern and southern Italy are vastly different. Regional differences account for much of the inequality and the persistence of it there.

Looking at the mean in Europe vs the US there is no contest. Other metrics in the same paper indicate that for factors that impact long term social stability, like schooling, the US is the worst.

It's possible that, since the US is such a big territory, regional differences are distorted. But I couldn't find a better source myself, with a quick search.
I have always wondered, wouldn't it be pretty easy to create a missile that follows a radar wave to it's source? A fighter plane could use this very missile to shut down a fighter plane chasing it or a ground radar scanning it.

The core dump contains information for fault analysis.

There is another aspect, C and C++ are not memory safe languages so the bug may not be particular logical (i.e. some kind of memory corruption). In these cases I actually prefer something to the like of __builtin_trap instead of abort. Calling any code after an invalid invariant has been detected clobbers registers and may make it impossible to investigate the state at the time of the "crash". Some features of modern optimizing compilers make this even worse, such as abort being marked as "noreturn".
> So, with these attributes in place, the browser will:

- Look at its device width.

- Work out which media condition in the sizes list is the first one to be true.

- Look at the slot size given to that media query.

- Load the image referenced in the srcset list that has the same size as the slot or, if there isn't one, the first image that is bigger than the chosen slot size.

Where many people's understanding falls short is the essential importance of the sizes value. In short, get that wrong and the browser is more likely to pick a suboptimal image from the srcset. Put another way, focusing on the scrset - which many seem to do - doesn't help if the sizes value misleads the browser about the nature of the image needed.

Trillion? Did you not read what I said about being able to verify the behaviors you want and not the side effects you don't yet know exist? Are you telling me that electronic microscopes are used in such a way that people actually look into individual massive molecules and... what count the atoms?

This is questioning a new technique that's not tested for more than a year for the purpose of being a vaccine. You can tell me that this is in theory safer than traditional vaccines all you want, but by my dumb logic, theory is just that. Traditional vaccine was tested for multiple generations of humans, this was not. I am not advocating traditional vaccine or anything just maybe, maybe, don't feel so sure about things in a field that has so much we don't know yet. mRNA is code created from convoluted processes not exactly like programming code that human specifically write with limited known behaviors.

If I remember correctly, he writes in his book that at the point of sale to Microsoft, Nokia was already very close to go under. In Finland, it is generally seen that the deal with Microsoft was a complete steal from Nokia, they got much more than the value was at that point and Microsoft even agreed to loan them hundreds of millions to buy full control in Nokia-Siemens networks.
