> It wasn't fascism,but nazism.

That's not really the point, and I'm not sure the semantics matter. I'm also not doubting that Trump would take up any "ideal" that supports his ego and power. Or that, among Trump supporters, there are people who would in fact be ready to go so far as fascism or nazism.

I just think that, in a thread about the quality of life in different economic cultures, "about to be ruled by a fascists" is kind of cheap rhetoric if you can't actually argue that the U.S. are in fact close to being ruled by one.

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

That's continuing along nearly the same lines of rhetoric as the comment I responded to.

10 times the risk means there's some kind of a meaningful difference, but that doesn't mean it becomes a huge risk. "10 times higher" is a lot as a ratio, but it doesn't mean shootings actually happen a lot. They might, but your figure alone isn't enough to show that. That's the same as with disease: 10 times the risk of a rare disease might still be rare. It might mean an actual, substantially elevated risk, or it might not. I gets you nice headlines either way, of course.

If you wanted to argue that getting shot at is a major quality of life concern in the U.S., you would need to show that it actually is a major concern for a large proportion of Americans that affects their quality of life, not just that the ratio of occurrences compared to Europe is large.

Again, I disagree about the style of rhetoric. I don't want to argue that gun violence isn't a problem. But I'm not sure us Europeans should tell Americans how that affects their quality of life in general. It's also easy to fall into the trap of stereotypes such as school shootings being everywhere and affecting everyday life. If it's not actually like that, then it's just a stereotype. Which is exactly what ChuckNorris89 was complaining about.

This depends on if you count "information propagation" time or not. For example, if you inform every guest about the pairing function when they check in, and moving from one room to any other takes finite time, all you need is a single "please move now" bit and each guest can move simultaneously.

(If you don't assume you have instantaneous transmission and finite travel time, our unintuition about this also collides with unintuitive, unrelated, and very physically-real concepts like light cones - so I think it's within the spirit of the problem to assume we have them.)

Perhaps. But the interaction of the GDPR and freedom of information / public records is quite complicated. For example in Sweden there’s a law that says that access to public records (Tryckfrifrihetsförordningen) takes precedence over the GDPR. On the other hand EU law generally takes precedence over national law and there is no exception in the GDPR itself AFAIK.

Public records can however only be accessed by request, and only by a Swedish citizen, so this situation probably wouldn’t fall under that exception had this happened in Sweden. IANAL but I think this would have been a violation of the GDPR had it happened in Sweden, and a quite serious one at that. Formally I think it could also fall under various espionage laws since there are foreign powers involved (but probably not in practice).

Precision doesn't matter. Software abstractions, once coded, are precise. The problem is with human thinking. If the mind can't grasp at all times all the relevant technicalities that come with an abstraction, then the abstraction is bad.
Portugal is not very competitive internationally, so their economy became dependent on government contracts and deals with politically exposed persons. For example, most of Angola's corrupt elite stashed their wealth in Portugal by buying property and businesses. Additionally, corrupt countries are very hard to do business in without kickbacks, but if you're willing to play the game, it becomes very easy, as in your businesses get a lot of government handouts, your interests are protected, etc. There is a law in Angola where foreign businesses can only enter the country if they partner with a local, and usually those "locals" are ministers, generals, the president's family and friends, etc. Local businesses are roadblocked to your benefit.

When you become comfortable operating this way, you'l do anything to maintain your relationship. And I kid you not, A large chunk of Portugals economy is powered by Angola.
> were held in front of embassies

Fine. But Correia's "protest was held on the Largo de Camões, which is nowhere near the Chinese embassy," so that doesn't apply.

Sorry, this doesn't follow. If I show up for a Tiananmen massacre vigil in New York, Gracie Mansion doesn't and doesn't need to notify the Chinese embassy.

A lot of behaviour is in response to stimuli (like light) The "purpose" of that behaviour is that it helps certain genes reproduce. This behaviour could be complex and unexpected or much simpler.

Animals may be able to exhibit more complex behaviour, but it is still mostly just a response to stimuli. An ant doesn't know why it cooperates, it does not have a purpose in a human sense. It has genes that have survived because they encourage social behaviour. It behaves socially in response to stimuli and helps the genes to spread.
No, the US arranged to buy far more vaccines at a quicker rate than most european countries, however are below Hungary and the UK in terms of people vaccinated.

Does this mean that Hungary and the UK have a better work ethic?

Looking at western vaccines

Pfizer–BioNTech -- developed in Germany

Oxford–AstraZeneca -- developed in the UK

Moderna -- developed in the US

Johnson & Johnson -- developed in the Netherlands

How does the "US Research Power" play into that?

https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths

Says that in the last 7 days there were 1.32 deaths/100k in the US and 1.37 in the EU, so even with all that money in buying up the vaccines it hasn't saved lives. In Hungary and the UK where vaccine rates are similar to the US, deaths/100k were 0.87 and 0.25 respectively.

This practice seems to be becoming more and more normal for B2B products. I like to see pricing too, but understand that in some cases it’s not the best sales funnel.

(At the end of the day it should be a measurable part of the sales funnel, and perhaps should be A/B tested.)

For Okay, I wonder about the hybrid approach. They could have the “startup plan” that has published pricing and self-service signup, and then the “enterprise plan” that requires contacting them for pricing and setup.
I don't know what country you are talking about but if it was about Germany then what you just said is a lot of bullshit.

What you can do in Germany is the following: "you're fired, please leave in x weeks" (x depends on the employment contract, usually two weeks). Those two weeks are just a matter of dignity. To give both the business and the employer time to part.
> moving every guest from their current room n to room n+1

I've read over my home-owners insurance policy very well. There are no provisions that say anything about "electrical work requiring a city permit shall be done by a licensed electrician".

Do you have any evidence to point to where someone changes a dishwasher or some other small electrical project, and later insurance denies a claim?

I can imagine scenarios of gross negligence (wires run all over exposed, gas leaks, etc. etc.), but if we are talking small mistakes by homeowner during a un-permitted DIY project, I have a very very hard time believing insurance is going to scour the rubble to investigate...like literally how to you prove that!?
There is clearly a lot of misunderstanding in the comments here. I feel like the repository is causing confusion by referring to Chromecast.

This has nothing to do with Chromecast, nor does it have anything to do with Google Cast, nor will it let or help you "Cast" anything like YouTube to your Cast capable devices.

What this is, is an (early) software implementation to stream media from a control device (your phone etc) to an SBC or other machine running the server code, and connected to a TV or monitor. It appears that the media must be resident on the controller and not the server.

It looks like they're aiming for multiple targets with "good" synchronisation, whatever that means.

Looks like a nice toy project for someone but there seem to be far more mature tools out there, at least for multi-room audio.

For video, if you don't need sync, Jellyfin (libre Emby fork) is quite capable.
Speaking of unhinged mushroom hunting behavior, it's interesting to look at the New York Mycological Society (NYMS) Newsletter from 2017: https://www.newyorkmyc.org/newsletters/NYMS_17_2E.pdf

>On May 15th last year, we took an early trip to our family cabin in the central Adirondacks to see if we could catch the beginning of morel season there.

>We walked down a dirt road for a mile until we came to numerous splits in the road.

>While taking a closer look through a loupe, Riitta, who was a few steps ahead, squealed with delight. She had found something special! But it was not a Morchella americana. She knew it as the choice edible Korvasieni (Finnish for “ear mushroom”). We knew it as the deadly poisonous Gyromitra esculenta, the false morel.

>We knew that these were potentially deadly poisonous, but that some people do eat them when prepared properly.

>However, according to Wikipedia “although it is still commonly parboiled before preparation, evidence suggests that even this procedure may not make Gyromitra escu-lenta entirely safe for consumption, thus raising concerns of risk even when prepared properly. When consumed, the principal active agent, gyromitrin, is hydrolyzed into the toxic compound monomethylhydrazine (MMH - a com-ponent of rocket fuel). The toxin affects the liver, central nervous system, and sometimes the kidneys. Symptoms of poisoning involve vomiting and diarrhea several hours after consumption, followed by dizziness, lethargy and head-ache. Severe cases may lead to delirium, coma and death after 5-7 days.” Yikes!

>Rinse the mushrooms thoroughly in plenty of running cold water. Repeat once more the boiling and rinsing of the mushrooms. Drain the mushrooms and use for cooking like any edible mushroom.After doing this with all the windows open in our kitchen, trying our best to avoid inhaling the poisonous fumes, and cautiously boiling twice for 11 minutes, we cooked up the false morels in lots of butter and onions.

> sending it out to anyone who asked, China, Israel, Russia, probably Arab states… Why?

If attributed to stupidity, someone got lazy about looking up where protests and their relevant embassies were and so started sending out every protest's every detail to every relevant embassy.

If attributed to malice, to hide the fact that they're providing this to Angola and China by providing it to everyone.
In the UK, I tend to work 9-3 with 5-10 minutes to make lunch most of the time. If I go to an office to see people we'll get to the pub about 1pm and the meeting can go on quite late, but it's rare.

Obviously some days I'll work longer hours due to operational needs, but I'm what I think the US calls a "Salaried" person who controls my own hours, rather than receiving an hourly wage.

There are "personal values" and there is "exchange value". The latter shows up in GDP. Isn't the problem with search also similar to education? Its effect is indirect on the both the consumer of education and within that consumer's society: when education is "useful", it enables all kinds of increased trade, not necessarily in education proper.

To do a proper experiment, I suppose we'd need to compare otherwise identical individuals with differing education. Similarly, we could compare people whose only significant difference is the amount of search using Google, and assess their effects on GDP. Daunting to carry out these experiments, but possible in principle, no?

These are not smart contracts. Its a functionality of the software that each nodes run. It can be updated if it has bugs. As longs as there is consensus that something actually is a bug. So to use the example above, you would not be able to change the signing threshold of 4 to 3 because that's what you set it to be. Its not a bug if you messed up and lost too many keys. But if the software itself actually handles some edge case wrong then the part of the code can be found fixed and added to the running ledger via amendment.

But since its not a smart contract in the first place, the burden for code to be added is high. While everyone can code something, it has to go trough the amendment process and reach 80% support for 2 weeks before it actually would be applied. There is basically zero chance that something would get 80% support if the active developer team would question the code quality. Every code goes trough audits and runs on the test net first before people even consider to make the amendment.
Still bugs happen and if you look at the change logs [1] you can see bug fixes are common for each new release. Most of these bug fixes dont affect the ledger logic but are just bugs in the node software. So funds can not be lost but in a worst case scenario it could temporary halt the network if such a bug crashes multiple nodes at the same time.

>At what point is switching to a more classical database both worth the increase in efficiency by several orders of magnitude,....

Thats a strange question. That point "is reached" whenever you dont need a blockchain/distributed ledger but instead have situation where the whole system is run by one entity or by a few who have legal agreements with each other. Its like asking at what point you simply write data to a file instead of to a database. There are tons of config files out there and no one suggests that we instead use a database. So why would someone ever switch back from the database to a simple file? Its p much a made up situation that never happens. There must have been a reason to use a database and that reason would need to go away.

Same for DLT. If you dont need it there is mostly no point in using it. There are a few exceptions for example you could use the XRPL to store tiny bits of data for communication between otherwise autonomous systems. The benefit here isn't blockchain/DLT tech but rather that fact that you dont need to maintain servers and the fact that the XRPL has probably the highest uptime of any public internet "storage" you could use. If that is critical then it may be a valid reason. You get the 5 9s (99.999%) uptime that you simply can not buy for cheap anywhere.
But again if you dont need any of the specific properties of a DL there is no point using it and comparing it to other tech with other properties.
No, there is no reordering wave, it happens all in parallel. Everyone steps out of his room at the same time, everyone walks to his new room, whether it is n + 1, n + k, 2n, or whatever, and everyone steps into his new room at the same time. So it is not what you probably imagined, that the person steps out of room 1, knocks on the door of room two, tells the person in there to move to room three, and so on.

Quite. Musk is so unusual and venerated by many because he's different to the normal US billionaires who seem to want to squeeze the world and get new yachts.
