Citation needed -- and that silly TechCrunch article isn't a citation.

They raised a howl because the plans say they will start on a power plant, whose impact is considered -- but 'oh my goodness, where will the gas come from? A well? Trucks? Oh my!'

Well -- that literally may not be known yet, as is when and whether they'd get close to running it at anything like capacity.

And that's not a problem; Texas has power plant regulators, and pipelines have their own paperwork and process.

The FAA regulating this is a bit funny anyway. :) Eventually that'll change, but right now they're doing a good job handling these weird corners of their responsibility with grace.

> cheap labor with minimal labor protection law

I'm confused by your statement. That cheap labor you're referring to is cheap while it's in Poland, but being in Germany, you're now under German contractual union agreements regardless of your nationality, so labor no longer cheap and you're also under German labor law, not Polish. So what gives? Or do you thing German worker's rights don't apply to workers from Poland?
Yes, but it may not bring enough goodwill for regulators to ignore other things they are doing which may be illegal which was the suggestion up-thread.
I've used them for years. I pay for the state tax filing.
My understanding is the two pro arguments for manual filing are:

If taxpayers aren't forced to confront the details of their tax payments every time they do a filing, they're less likely to complain about high taxes (this comes with the implication that high taxes are inherently bad, which depends on your political leaning)

Taxpayers may just accept the automatic deduction without realising they're being overcharged in the event of an error, for years at a time.

How much they actually care about such arguments vs the threat to their business model is subjective, but it seems the majority on this site (and myself) don't buy it.
I guess they won't break correctness but I do remember many algorithms (e.g. tries) assume you have constant random access to characters which AFAIK is not possible in UTF-8
Isn't this basically what Parler tried to do? They got hacked and the PII of their users was leaked onto the internet and they were derided for collecting so much information.
It creates a strange disconnect. Voters in influence policy at election time and then lobbyists come in an undo everything.
Not sure how to describe it but I see it like more of a approach and limitations or tech problem.

1- can't study it,in details, live with 0 risk of damage

2- can't test injecting data without risk of damage

3- the live data that we can extract/record (while monitoring input) with current tech is limited. I'm thinking that we're still at the stage comparable with using a multimeter to test a 8 layer pcb, with no schematics, while it's powered on.

I, personally, think science will get there at some point, but we'll need some serious tech advancements to do that.
In Bavaria they would have been one of many major companies. In Brandenburg they are the exciting thing happening in terms of industry, giving them a lot of political support. Also lower wages, both because Brandenburg has low wages and because it's close to the Polish border.

Also "Gigafactory Berlin" is only a slight stretch of the truth and has a much nicer ring to it than "Gigafactory Ingolstadt". Being big and flashy is important to Tesla (hence "Gigafactory", not "factory"), and Berlin is just much more recognizable than the alternatives.
>What (the left) needs to do is clear out rents.

Unfortunately in the US the rent seekers have an easy hack to make sure that never happens: lobbying.

The system will never change unless we vote out the current politicians, and then maybe it will change. We might have to clear out most, ideally all of the applicable congress every election cycle for a few years before we see any results. As long as we keep voting in the same people, nothing will change and it will most likely only get worse. The current political power structure is great at telling us what we want to hear, then conducting business as usual.

The only political power the citizenry has is our vote, everything else can be ignored. Emails go unanswered, polls go unnoticed, protests get suppressed.

Occupy Wall Street was 10 years ago. Thing are worse today than they were back then.
Maybe we should let each state run the way they see fit... you know kind of like how the Constitution assumed things should be done until the Commerce Clause was used by the Federal Government to hammer every state into submission.

Yes Uber and Lyft are terribly unreliable for early morning trips outside the densest urban areas. The advance reservation features don't actually guarantee any car availability.
You need to find a different accountant, my tax situation is as _least_ as complex as yours and has involved multiple states several times. I've never had an issue with sending him a large dump of files photos and notes and he's worked it out each time.
that makes sense. Trump and Modi have much in common.
The argument that they advance is that if we allowed government supported automatic filing, then people would no longer be able to take advantage of the free filing program that Intuit offers to low income households.

What they don't mention is that this free filing offer is used by significantly less than 5% of the eligible taxpayers. Probably because Intuit advertises it very little and within the product very heavily hints that you should switch to a paid product instead.
There are a few computer languages that have non-english keywords though! And among them it looks like there was a version of Algol with Russian keywords, as well as a bunch of others in the list. Scanning it it would seem that Logo and BASIC get translated a lot, which makes sense for teaching young learners who haven't learned English yet.

This seems analogous to Microsoft's antitrust suit in the 90s. By forcing unreasonable demands on a competitor, Google improves revenues of their own products/licensed products. And further solidifies Youtube's monopoly market share.
Yep, but then the problem becomes defining what qualia actually is, and why it exists.

That doesn't matter. If everyone just calls out the behavior that they think is abusive then eventually we'll get to a new, lower level of abuse. There'll be some contention where people disagree, but there is already so that doesn't change much.
From the original blog of Roku

"First, Google continues to interfere with Roku’s independent search results, requiring that we preference YouTube over other content providers"

"Second, Google discriminates against Roku by demanding search, voice, and data features that they do not insist on from other streaming platforms."

I would be much more comfortable if the headline says, "Google made unreasonable demands on Roku to strike a YouTube deal"

OK, I definitely believe you that it's the right thing to do and that the pilot knew what they were doing (in your case and in the Colombian Amazon), but, my suggestion is that that sort of scare is more common with the very old DC3s. A guy I knew there, who had served in the Colombian army, was clearly pretty scared of having to take the DC3.

Regarding the credibility of said statement, also mind that – depending on estimates and your local mix of energy production – the rather high CO2 footprint of long-range battery production is only offset after 3.5 – 15 years of average use [0]. Where average use is US millage, with millages being typically lower in Europe. So Tesla Europe will not be saving the world. What it really does, is relocating the source of emissions.

Be even more upset with the IRS and politicians. They are literally responsible for this. They make the laws. Don't let them shift blame. They should have told Intuit to pound sand. This is like a kid that gets caught doing something bad and blames their friends. They told me to do it! It's their fault.

Here would be the honest translation: I took their money and went against the best interests of my voters, and now I'm going to shift all blame while accepting no responsibility for my actions. Furthermore, I'm going to reframe this as though I was the good guy trying to save you.

I used a DX7 to write my MIDI driver for the Mac, in the late 1980s. I never really played it. I was a bass player.

I gave the DX7 to someone. Can’t remember who.
I avoid talking about it and expenses in general especially to friends I know that are making making less than 50k a year

It stops the dynamic of "oh look he is a fun guy to hang out with" to "dude he makes so much more than me"

I've had past dating relationships fail because the girl felt so uncomfortable making min wage around me. Everything just became about money after. She stopped offering to split bills at dates etc. I had to cut it off entirely

Growing up, I've lived a fairly poor lifestyle. Most of what I owned were hand me downs and I paid through most of college through side jobs and scholarships. My parents are also really cheap so I didn't live with AC in a hot humid environment most of my life

But they like buying nice cars, and I drove that to school everyday since I needed transportation. I got treated like a rich spoiled kid even though I had to work most weekends and summer since 13 on my family's business.

That being said, I avoid talking about salary unless someone asks me directly. Even then I won't give a straight answer, I'll just give a large range value and state "this is what people roughly make with my experience"

I've had a coworker who worked on the same contract doing the same work at a different firm then us. He asked "yo how much do you guys make". I really wished my coworker didn't answer this since we found out he makes about half of our salary (to be fair he is way more junior though). It's made the work dynamic really weird

The real problem here is structural. We need approval voting/range voting, and for more of the "executive branch but really still regulatory" positions to be elected rather than appointed.

Right now you say "vote for politicians who do good things" and then every politician is found to be doing some good things and some bad things with their opponent doing the opposite, and someone doing a higher proportion of good things can't get on the ballot because first past the post voting results in a two party system.

> explain oneself

I hate this, the idea that I should have to explain myself to a random stranger in a shop as if they are entitled to know anything about me. I buy a lot of sweets on Friday for the weekend and regularly the clerk behind the till will make a comment, "Thats a lot of chocolate! Who is going to eat all that! You must be having a party whats the occasion?". In front of a line of customers who are eager to get home I have to explain myself to the clerk "Im depressed!"... and then just stand there awkwardly waiting for them to finish doing their job.

I get it they are just trying to be friendly but I don't want it no one in the queue behind me wants it, no one wants to explain themselves to a stranger we will never meet again, I just want the sweets / laptop please and thank you.
you can unwrap. But a monad allows the monad implementor to treat the sequence of transformations applied to a monad as a first class object that can be manipulated.

For example for the list monad the transformation could be applied in parallel or not at all if the list is only partially consumed; for the IO monad you could perform every operation asynchronously in an event loop instead of blocking.
I feel like this comes down to the same issue that every platform gets into with IAP. They want a cut because running a platform is expensive, but the apps on the platform don't want to pay for it, and talks break down.

Roku, like Apple, like Google, like Salesforce, like Patreon, like all platforms with payments, rely on their cut of the IAP to make money.

Roku, like Google, like Patreon, like all other platforms that are also on platforms, dont want to pay X% to the platform, they want a special rate.
I dont think I understand how this concept has acquired such gravity... but I think Im coming around to appreciating that it does.

Almost anything that inspires this many people to be interested in learning, teaching, and talking about math cant be a bad thing.
It's a huge slice of the GDP, what do you expect?

I mean, let's compare this to the rather celebrated South Korean court decision to force Google/Apple into giving up control over in-app payments: Great for the customers and for competition and for developers, but it's also no accident it happened in a country where Samsung has every business interest in the outcome.

These are strong claims without citation. Your subsequent comments in this thread reveal a fairly extreme and inflexible viewpoint on cars which you advance through many logical fallacies (straw men, false dilemma, and hasty generalizations). In other words, I don't think you're evaluating this issue in good faith or rationally. So, I'm not going to engage beyond this comment.

The main point of my initial comment was to point out that this "walk-able utopia" goal is not shared by a great number of people and contravening both the will of the majority and the current state is an exercise in futility and thus a waste of a society's time and resources.

This feels like a bit of an oversimplification to me. Big lobbying money works, and it seems to me it tends to work no matter who you voted for the vast majority of the time. Finding politicians to vote for who can't be bought for any price are probably rare, and we have a lot of offices to fill across the country.

I agree that taking a hard, sober look at how we ourselves vote is a good thing, but I doubt it is the magic silver bullet to our problems.
Same here. Besides, what I type here today may not be controversial at all, but who knows how activists will change what society sees as acceptable vs problematic? All it would take is one motivated activist to dig through my comment history and find something to get me cancelled in the future.
Yes and no. Yes there are very few stupid "people", but there are stupid reactions and actions. The reason isn't that the people are stupid, it's often that they are busy with other things.

It's amazing to me how conservative people are with their mental energy. Many people hate to think. Not because they can't! Just because they would rather not. I'm not sure why.
This mentality is really only good for employers as it allows them to keep a lot of individuals compensation below market. I say that as an employer. I strongly believe that in order to have an efficient free market, you must have public prices. This includes not only drug and hospital bills, but people's salary and wages. Making this public for everyone would make the top paying jobs far more competitive and would help even out a lot of income inequality.

Are you contending that somebody who grows up in complete social isolation would not be conscious? If so, that doesn't make sense. And besides, we currently have no way of knowing that consciousness actually exists in any being other than ourselves, so there would be no way to measure it to test your hypothesis.

Until we have some way of doing that, I think it's more rational to assume all humans in a non catatonic state have some level of consciousness.
To be honest those numbers seem like something we should be able to completely map. They’re high but not astronomical or anything.
Maybe it's LARPing or "intellectual exercise" for some, but for many if not most, it's their reality. I've personally tried to reason with some - it is truly and deeply a waste of time.

They literally cannot see beyond their own senses, e.g., want to see for themselves the curvature of the earth, yet they believe that it is the case that every one of the billions of photos of the earth from space or high altitude is faked, but won't believe that people can go to space.

The psychological research that seems to best explain it is that these people prefer to believe that the world is full of and controlled by an evil secret cabal than live in the reality of a world that is deeply random and uncertain.

> I was insulted on his behalf for how badly they lowballed him

I've been there multiple times. Both in offers and in finding out coworkers doing the same job making less (I guess I push a little harder in interviews? Or just ask for more upfront?). When a very good friend and I were both leaving our last company I asked how much he telling recruiters he wanted, it was a meager amount over his current salary and I balked at it then told him to ask for what I was asking for. He ended up taking a job a little under that number but had he applied with his lower number that's all he would have received.

> If you think your friend is always underselling how good they you should definitely try broach the subject if they are comfortable talking about it and help them realize their worth.

I've done this for multiple people and some people will get it after the first time you talk to them and some of them I have to work on over time. I know it's not "my problem" and I've been told "you can't make people want better for themselves" or "you can't push people to be better if they don't want to be" but I disagree with that. Are there some lost cases? Maybe, I've yet to find one and I wont stop pushing (gently) until they see their market-worth or they ask me to stop. Mind you, this isn't be berating them or telling them they are stupid for making less, far from it, it's me telling them they are underselling themselves and I just want better for them.
I suspect they’re working off outdated information. Taxi hailing has gotten _massively_ worse for me over the past 5-10 years. It used to be I could walk out in Streeterville any time of day (when it’s not raining) and get a cab in under 5 minutes, lately it’s been difficult to get one at all.

I still tend to avoid Uber/lyft in that area since I’ve had too many bad experiences with drivers over there, but that seems to be what everyone does these days.
