Yes you can.

And I it's great for the wealthy.

Forcing insurance on poor people is not right.

The poor have a tough enough time just keeping their head above homelessness.

I have been required to pay for automotive insurance in California for approximately 20 years. (In CA mandatory insurance was required, but not mandatory forever. There is a weird legal difference. I white knuckled my college years while driving. I got lucky except onetime. A wealthy women slammed into me, and the minute she, or actually her lawyer husband, found out I didn't have insurance, I was putty in their hands. I paid $1000 for an 1982 Volvo bumper. It was the last of my student loan, but they had me. A call to DMV and I wouldn't be able to commute to my school.)

Every year if I want to drive my old truck I needed to come up with $600.00 plus. Even with a perfect record since 15.5 years of age.

I only can afford the minimum. I never made much money even as college graduate. I believe it's 15-30-5. (this means if slam into you and you are a vegetable; you will get $15,000 for injuries, and $5,000 for your Tesla. Great payday? If you have money you can go after my assets.).

My point is it's not enough if we are being honest.

The insurance industry loves these minimum mandates because they make billions off the poor, and middleclass.

It's no wonder the insurance industry is always the number #1 Lobby group on every political fund.

It's a racket, and I believe the bigger boys are colluding on rates, but can't prove it.

"Buy the per mile insurance dude--you low income loser!"

(1. Work out the low income insurance on a yearly basis, and it's not copasetic. Plus my old Toyota does not have a computer other than a rudimentary computer that was suspose to control the main plunger in the naturally aspirated carb that never really worked. Meaning there's no computer to plug a mileage indication in. So there's no per mile insurance I can get.)

My point is mandated insurance is kind of a racket like this two year mandated Smog check, especially on vechicles that that we only use a few times per year, or under 1000 miles/per year.

Rant Over.

It can tell you which ancestral population you come from decently well, not totally accurately - on 23andMe "French & German" is a group but has really poor recall, and "Latin American" is not a group nor "Aboriginal Australian" despite how possible they look.

But that's just clustering and it would work on any random groups you chose. In particular, it would still work if they picked a group where none of the members were related to each other (and indeed that's how it works now). As long as you're related to one of them it'd still be able to show you're a member of it.

What you don't get in FORTH is arity information from the syntax, because everything is simply treated as a function from stack to stack. Unfortunately it's not feasible to keep the cleanliness of the FORTH syntax while providing that info (one would need a 2D view for that, where multiple arguments to the same function can be seen in parallel) so a parens-based syntax is arguably the next best choice.
Don't be obtuse.

You can do it in SO many ways! You can have one vertex buffer or double buffer it, or you can run the entire simulation on the GPU too. In general, uploading data to the GPU can be the slowest part. OpenGL, and more modern Graphics APIs have evolved in the direction of minimizing the communication between CPU and GPU since it is almost always a big bottle neck. Modern GPUs are designed to manage themselves with work queues, local data and sometimes even local storage to avoid the need to interact with the CPU.

I think we already had (past tense) the solution in federalism. If the federal government only did what the constitution says it does, most of the red state/blue state stuff wouldn't even be an issue at the federal level. Who won the presidential election or which party controls congress would be much less significant. The average person would have little reason to care much one way or the other.

Just because data is used in understanding something related to health doesn't mean that it's "health data" in a legal, protected, or regulatory sense. Nor does it mean that they should have de facto access to the data without limitations. Hell, the closest thing I'm aware of that's close to it (at least under HIPAA) is the name or address of a hospital that a person's visited.

> The vast majority of people I’ve seen using neopronouns, or “it” or “they” pronouns (either exclusively or alternatively with classical gendered pronouns, e.g., “she/they”) have nonbinary gender identity or agender identity, and the vast majority of the exceptions are trans, and all the rest (i.e., the cisgender ones) I’ve encountered are one of bisexual, pansexual, asexual, or same-gender attracted, usually also with gender non-conforming presentation.

Yes, I'm talking about sexuality, not gender. Most of the people I know, and/or have met, who identify as 'xe' and suchlike, are straight and usually cis (in the sense of 'not actually trans' - they do often have 'gender identities' like 'genderqueer' which amount to 'I wear heels sometimes').

It's predominantly - in my experience - straight people who covet the counter-cultural aspect of being 'queer', but who face the small problem of not actually being gay or trans or anything else, which is easily remedied by adopting one of those slightly-meaningless 'gender identities' which uniformly amount to 'I'm a teeny bit [masc/femme] sometimes'.

(I literally had a conversation with someone once who argued that watching porn didn't mean they weren't asexual. They also happened to be in a long marriage with a husband they no longer slept with, though they once had. It took all my strength not to say "lady, you're not asexual or queer, you're just a bored housewife in a dead marriage".)
The BEAM (runtime?) is written in C. There is also an effort to rewrite it in Rust (https://github.com/lumen/lumen). Some functions are built into the VM but most of the supporting 'standard library' (OTP / Open Telecom Platform) is written in Erlang. The (main) compiler is written in C. So it's all C or Erlang afaik.

It is ported to every major flavour of OS.

"Is there anyone here who would let their 6 year old child play, unsupervised, with a random pit bull? How about a random chihuahua?"

Neither - they shouldn't be unsupervised with "random" dogs.
"There could be plenty of reasons why pitbulls feature highly in the dog attack stats (severity making attacks more noteworthy, type of owner increasing likelihood"

Well, the severity of their attacks is essentially a results of their genetics. As for the type of owner, it the same logic used against gun control, saying that they pose no danger if the owner is responsible.

Whatever the combination of factors, the end result on a large scale point to pitbulls as the most dangerous breed of dog to humans and banning them should be a no-brainer.

Unrelated but wrt. modern rendering versus 90s rendering I'd imagine that a lot of the performance shims used in the 90s might not apply because the critical problem is different.

Performance based development these days isn't so much on maximizing usage of the cycles of the machine (I mean, ok fundamentally it's still about that, but-), rather it's about getting the microcode to do the right thing. E.g. LUTs being extremely bad for caching performance. Branch predictions being a much more important predictor of performance than anything else. Huge rams make a lot of old tips around ram size usage invalid. SIMD / vector based operations and threading are a boon but require a very different way of working

All that is true. How does it relate to the possibility or not of large differences between human populations? Interbreeding will reduce variation extremely quickly but we know reproductive isolation was very high between continents for a very long time. Even individual villages in India have jatis that have been living next to each other for centuries that haven’t interbred for over 1,000 years.

I'm in my mid-50's. I missed the 1950's and 1960's in the US, but I recall the 70's and onward vividly. It is hard to impart to today's generations just how subversive MTV was in the 1980's. Being different in school in the 70's was a mortal sin, so people who did it were either truly weird or had immense self-confidence. "Alternative radio" didn't exist in most of the country, let alone cassettes and albums: department stores only sold what big labels offered. Punk and alternative had to be sought out by college students or people in cities. MTV changed all that radically. "Nonconformity" was a big word for teens in the 70's and 80's. It is all but gone now, today my friends teen-aged kids are about fitting in, not sticking out.

Because there is no more "sticking out". Everything has been commodified and accepted. There is no longer a way to differentiate yourself from the pack, because the pack is so diverse. I think that has really shaken things up: there's nothing to rebel against, and Gen-X cynicism/nihilism has left an identity crises for Mil/GenZ. Although it appears these groups are going back to tradition and don't give a f*k about nonconformity.

Steve Albini (legendary producer) wrote an essay in "Commodify Your Dissent" from the Baffler magazine around the time of the Dead Kennedys. He hits on the ability to buy anarchy patches in department stores as fashion items when in the past they were signs of a true counterculture. I highly recommend it, it captures what you are feeling up to a point, because it refers mostly to the 80's and 90's, and not the utter weirdness of today.

Compounding interest of doing a lump-sum now heavily outweighs the tax savings. There's also nothing that prevents you from just buying an annuity using the lump sum (I'm not a tax lawyer but I'd bet there's a way for a trust to claim the ticket to avoid paying xx% taxes on it in such a scheme).
