In my opinion, it's not about the act of discrimination itself, but the method used to combat it.

As an extreme example, I think everyone agrees that littering is bad. But how would you feel about summary execution for littering? Feels crazy extreme, right? The actual effective punishment for littering is more like people maybe frown at you a little, and maybe if you're super obnoxious about it or do it right in front of a cop, you might get a modest fine. That seems about right to me. I feel like I'm complaining that maybe we shouldn't summarily execute people for littering and everyone's coming back at me with how dare you support the evils of littering.

I don't like any kind of discrimination. If everyone in town is discriminating against some group so hard that they can't go about the ordinary activities of life, that feels like something that needs to be addressed by government action. On the other hand, if one business in a medium-size city doesn't want to serve some group for some reason, and there's a dozen competitors that are fine with that group, maybe it's best to just let it slide from a legal standpoint. Maybe a local soft boycott or something like that.

If you want to ratchet up the severity of the punishment for an act that is vanishingly rare and hasn't really caused anyone that much trouble, consider the possibility that you aren't the good guys anymore.

If those are indeed the specs, I'd call it a very good option for that price point.

> You are suggesting that the consequences of leaving where well defined,

I'm not suggesting that at all. Actually I think that it was enormous stupidity to send that letter before England even defined what it wanted exactly.

It didn't help at all that Ms. May tried to appease the Brexit extremists in the conservative party. People that, as we now know , cannot be appeased, ever, since they just move the goal post to an even more extreme position.

> You should also take note of my comment below - there is no "they" wrt the UK, as the country was divided, and actively fighting over the issue - with some actively trying to prevent a brexit.

I appreciate that. Nevertheless 52% of people that bothered to vote wanted out.

Pissing off their European partners at every turn also certainly doesn't help

Unless Britain gives up it's extremist position I predict a world of hurt once the EU is no more willing to kick the can further down the road.

>If prices were going down would things be better? You bought a 500,000 and in ten years it will be worth 100,000 would you still make that investment?

The idea that holding a property and doing absolutely nothing with it is an "investment" is absurd. The only people who would buy that home are those who want to live in it or who want to rent it out to someone who wants to live in it.

No I wouldn't make that "investment". I would just rent the property out without "investing" the property.
You’re right, I never thought about the long term effects of DRM. But we’re really just talking about its effects on our grand children. To be fair we’ll all be dead by the time works made today will go into the public domain.
I believe the article details a lot of examples where Twitter had nothing to do with the 'crime' at all but public discussions on Twitter had a lot to do with creating the mob justice - and that is how Twitter undesirably "bleeds into life in real ways" as the parent post asserts.

People should be free to discuss various allegations on Twitter and demand various actions to be taken; but where it goes wrong is that it should not be acceptable for institutions to act/react/overreact on their employees solely based on these social media allegations and demands, actual due process should still be a thing.
I don't think the file format above is especially conductive to learning. In my experience, most people learn double-entry bookkeeping with T accounts; debit is on the left, credit is on the right, and total credit has to equal total debit.

In French, that would translate to forgeron, but it doesn't seem to be a very common name. On the other hand, boucher (= butcher) and boulanger (= baker) are very common name in France. Kind of interesting that certain profession would become common names in one culture and not in other?
Or maybe I'm missing something?
> In this line of thought, I also think it is irrelevant whether putting publicly funded research results behind a paywall is ethical on the publisher's side: two unethical acts don't make an ethical one.

I think taking public money, and using it specifically to enrich a private company, and not providing value back to the public who paid for both sides of the transaction is actually unethical. Moreso, I think there is regulatory capture going on, and manipulation of our political leaders through strategic donations [1]

If, by opposing an unjust system, you are doing something that may be in name "illegal or contrary" to the law, but morally that is sterling, then you are in the right.

By your same argument, you could claim that doing any member of the Underground Railroad that helped blacks escape from an unjust, oppressive system was also doing something unethical. Despite the legal definitions of property at the time. Do you see where this argument heads?

Modern allocators divide allocations into "size classes" based on the size of the allocation (normally rounded up to some power of 2 or whatever.) When you call something like free(m), the allocator will often have to figure out what size class 'm' was put into before it can proceed. For example, once you free some memory you might not return it to the OS, but keep it around in a cache structure so that it can be re-used. You can only put 'm' into the right cache if you compute the size class and use that. If the metadata for the object is "out of band" (i.e. not next to it directly), figuring out the size class of 'm' might be a little costly.

If your allocator can't use the sizing information when free'ing, it can just be a no-op. If it can, it can result in some performance gains.

You also get the bonus the allocator can run stricter consistency checks on the object itself i.e. free(m,size) can ensure that 'm' actually is of the given 'size', or abort the program. This can help find and catch latent bugs.
Start tracking your expenses ASAP with app like Spentable. All of them. Do this for few months. This will establish your baseline of how much you are spending per month. That's your personal burn rate.

Now this enables you to perform basic calculations on how long your savings will last. If you spend 1000 monetary units per month, 12k monetary units will last you entire year, and so on. Base your budget on burn rate that gives you balance between comfort and frugality.

Do a financial review every month. Look into how much you are spending for each category of expenses and see if it can be reasonably reduced. Are you within budget? Also recalculate runway duration that your stash of personal savings converts into. Calculate the date of your money running out under your current burn rate if you made zero new money. Write all of this down to keep track of your financial situation during the year.

Avoid taking out money out of your new company until you reach the point of being able to do so without hurting the business. Keep your personal funds separate from business funds even if you are the sole owner of your startup.

Phillips is by definition discriminating, since he makes something (a plain wedding cake) he gives to some people but not others, all because they’re gay. He himself admitted he wouldn’t make wedding cakes of any kind for same-sex weddings. Having intermediaries in the middle is a moot point. If anything, it makes for a stronger case that Phillips also excludes heterosexual people from buying cakes if their purpose is to give it to a homosexual couple for their wedding. (Also, a better comparison would be between the gay couple who visited Phillips’ bakery vs William Jack who visited the other bakeries, since there were no intermediaries here.) As Alfredo said, this isn’t a cake with a rainbow flag; only a plain wedding cake you might find at your local cakery. The other bakeries wouldn’t make a cake containing hateful messages for anybody, so they can’t be discriminating (unless you argue not offering something to all people is discrimination). The difference is that Phillips finds a certain class of people who do weddings sinful and so wouldn’t make the same cake (he sells to others) to them, while the other bakeries find the message of “homosexuality bad” abhorrent and wouldn’t sell a cake with such messages to anybody; they wouldn’t even think of making it.

> Obviously many people can't or do not wish to own their house for any number of reasons

"Those reasons" being that the price of real estate in Amsterdam has grown exponentially in recent years.

Some large but unknown number of apartments here have vanished into private investments where no one lives or AirBNB etc where no one lives for more than a few days.

If houses in Amsterdam were reserved for people _living_ in Amsterdam, there would be a significant increase in supply, and therefore a significant decrease in prices, which right now, are such that your average Amsterdam worker can't live here.

> The social housing system seemed to be abused when I was there.

Still is, but I see this as rational calculation on the part of the Gemeente (municipality, these are much more powerful here).

Those apartments aren't palatial. Most of the time, people just naturally move out, maybe a few years late, but why force people onto the street when they're just getting started?

Some number of people do go on for years, but they calculate that it's better to have a more relaxed system, not to cause grief by going after a few freeloaders, and to spend their efforts on building brand-new public housing.

---

I had to get over 30 years of NYC living when I moved here. But the Gemeente is pretty smart. There's a reason for most everything, often a good reason, and they are constantly tuning.

Sure, I have complaints, but generally if I wonder why something is there or what's going to happen in terms of public works, I say, "What would a competent person do?" That almost never worked in NYC.

Studies have shown that in the Netherlands only a tiny part of the rapidly increasing price is due to shortage and the majority due to investers. The exact opposite of what you say.

Investment in the housing market drives up supply of buildings, and drives up the cost of the land underneath them. In high-cost markets, most of the cost is the land, not development on that land.

You can waive the higher taxes for very high density developments. Skyscrapers to require investors, and that is beneficial.
What is the answer to “Who are you?” (Philosophically)
Yes, they've partnered with Foxconn in the past and have had (now closed) factories in China. This is not what I was asking about.

Fact is, they do manufacture phones in South Korea. Not all their phones, but they do manufacture them. Evidently it's still profitable enough to do so, and evidently they do not charge $10K for their top-of-the-line Galaxy S phones made in SK. https://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-gumi-factory-2014-5?...

Sony has also made phones in SK and Japan.

Obviously these are not contenders for the cheapest phone, but we weren't talking about the cheap Xiaomis and Huaweis anyway. And evidently lots and lots of people are happy to pay for more expensive phones. Apple has ridiculous profit margins and people still pay for it.
I have a hard time imagining that TCL would not have the same problem that PHP, Python and JavaScript have with types. If you're trying to add a string and a number, the language has to either throw an error or implicitly turn that into concatenation, propagating the string to more expressions that expected a number. At a cursory glance, it looks like TCL throws an error.

In that case, I can't imagine writing any significant amount of TCL and not having reached a point where you have a runtime error that would have been prevented had you had a static type system.

Am I missing something?

Besides, you can probably still gain a ton of functional strength while on a plant based diet anyway.

I don't disagree with your point, but do want to add that not publishing on "fundamental truths" isn't the same as not asking those questions. Not everyone's going to have something novel, plausible, and fundamental to say on a regular basis, hence most publications (even if everyone's asking these questions, which granted they're probably not) are going to be much more incremental.
The standard argument is a straw man argument. Tired light is not photons getting scattered, and is not photons bumping into stray electrons.

Low interest rates have made everything cheap but the supply of housing (specifically land) is extremely inflexible. You can make more cars but not land. The location value of your house skyrockets at the expense of everyone else.

However, make no mistake. The problem isn't money. Even if you buy your house with Bitcoin you will run into the same problem. The problem is that location is a a monopoly. You can tax it or let it run wild.

> 17 million people 10 million houses

Wait, you’re making it sound like this is an obvious case of not enough supply — which could potentially be solved by building more homes! — but in fact, it’s the total opposite: the average Dutch household has 2.14 people, so that’s 8 million households vs. 10 million houses! (I assume this is overwhelmingly folks who want to live together: partners, kids, etc., not just folks who can’t afford to live alone.)

Sounds to me like there are 2 million extra houses, not 7 million missing ones.

So what, exactly, causes the problem? Presumably, those 2m extra houses just aren’t in the right places?
From my gut feeling it doesn't seem that small business owners actually get the funding they deserve from banks. Only big businesses actually get those low interest rates.
We've been making laundry detergent for our high-efficiency washing machine out of borax, washing soda, and fels-naptha. This is one of the best household hacks we've ever done.

It not only does a better job of cleaning the clothes than Tide and the like (bonus: no perfume smell), it's much cheaper as well and has saved us hundreds of dollars in detergent costs over the last few years.

1 gallon of tide = $15, 5 gallons of home-made detergent = less than $2. The only downside is that powered washing soda is not carried by every grocery store these days. (And it means you need to store 5 gallons of detergent somewhere.)
