Thank you! I did a quick search for sagittarius beforehand that yielded only the announcement. Probably missed a "t" in sagittarius doing the search.
I feel like this proposal (from the article) is a little novel.

We usually see biofuels for carbon-neutral power (the plants get the carbon from the air, we release it back) or carbon-capture from fossil fuels (we dig up coal and capture the CO2 rather than releasing it into the atmosphere), and we've previously seen "bury a bunch of trees" as a way to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

This proposal is biofuels + carbon-capture to both generate power and remove carbon from the atmosphere. The advantage of this solution is that -- while it's still more costly than biofuels alone or carbon-capture alone or just digging up oil and burning it into the atmosphere -- it should at least be an energy/money-generating operation, just less profitable than many of the competitors.
We are subsidizing their existence when we charge them below market property tax rates based on property values that are 40 years old instead of current market rates.

You went to ad hominem very quickly on having your ideas challenged. It’s not a gross moral failing to want property tax to work the way it’s supposed to and does in nearly every jurisdiction on the planet. Except California because of weird historical accident.

Sorry to read that, but it's still a statistically small percent that happens to. One can say "but even one is too much", and I appreciate the sentiment, but optimizing for the .1% isn't always a good path.

> they certainly didn't create the phenomenon of hyper-vigalent school paraprofessionals.

"they" probably contributed to the culture that produced the current school paraprofessionals.

EDIT: Some interesting numbers at https://www.missingkids.org/theissues/nonfamily - of abductions reported to them, 1% are by non-family members, meaning... 99% of reported cases (to their org) are by family members. That may not line up with 'law enforcement' numbers exactly - there's not a clear indication as to what gets reported to them. But the ~1% matches up with other numbers I've seen in the past on missing children. It's almost always a family member or someone known to the child.

How specifically could that play out in this instance?

Yes, if a government decides the rule of law does not matter bad things happen. That was true in the a analog days as well.

Lots of great additions. I will just highlight two:

Column selection:

When you have tons of columns these become useful. Clickhouse takes it to the next level and supports APPLY and COLUMN in addition to EXCEPT, REPLACE which DuckDB supports:

- APPLY: apply a function to a set of columns
- COLUMN: select columns by matching a regular expression (!)

Details here: https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/sele...

Allow trailing commas:

I can't count how many times I've run into a problem with a trailing comma. There's a whole convention developed to overcome this: the prefix comma convention where you'd write:

SELECT
first_column
,second_column
,third_column

which lets you easily comment out a line without worrying about trailing comma errors. That's no longer necessary in DuckDB. Allowing for trailing commas should get included in the SQL spec.

The commission was set up on 2014 (this is the first time it's been in place). My point was that the Democrats put the amendment on the ballot in the first place. If they had decided otherwise, it never would have left the state legislature.

They were, in a very real sense, the people who instituted the independent commission. A commission that deadlocked itself before the state legislature decided it failed and they needed to draw the lines.

Had they not voluntarily limited their own power, there would be no legal case at all.
It's simply fraud. There are laws against fraud.

The elephant in the room is that the vast majority of people who are coping are supporting a family, usually with kids, or are at some age-appropriate stage on that track. The stupid crap and social hierarchies at work are trivialities, obstacles to be overcome and then forgotten. People raising families are often swimming in an ocean of oxytocin and existential fulfillment giving them huge mental and emotional boosts.

I'm pointing this out in case you're endlessly ruminating on what is wrong with you, why can't you just buckle down and deal, whatever, and you're coming home to an empty apartment and Netflix year after year. That's missing the big picture. I'm not saying you should start a family if you don't have one. Maybe you can't or won't, in which case, be gentle with yourself and make sure that you are taking the whole picture into account when you compare yourself with others.

I find it interesting that dental care is treated entirely differently from other kinds of medical care.

Particularly, health insurance seems to be useful (usually it pays most of the bill if you need an expensive procedure) but dental insurance seems to just be a discount plan that gets you half off procedures but the premiums are so high that it seems some adverse selection is going on.

That said I have met many people who tell me that they (and most people) couldn't afford to see the dentist if they didn't have dental insurance.

The problem we have in the US is we tend to placate to the vocal minority, rather than realizing that they are in fact just a vocal minority.

Say you have 10 parents that let their kids play outside. No one has a problem with this until an 11th parent shows up and it mortified, think the kids will all get hurt if they are allowed to be outside like this.

That parent makes a stink, take it to the city council, and a rule is put in place that you can't let your kids go outside without supervision. The folks making the rules think to themselves "well we had to act, there was such an outcry". Meanwhile the outcry is really just the outsized screams of one parent, and you've just screwed the other 10 parents.
How sharp do we expect an infinite-res picture to be?

The point I'm making is that it's not politicians who are driving this. They certainly participate, but they're responding to the incentives and concerns of their constituents. "Think of the children" implies they consciously created this and/or are the main drivers, which is false.
> What we don't have to do is to start a process like the one that led Germany from the defeat in WW1 to desires of revenge and WW2, or Russia from the defeat in the Cold War to the current attempt to create its empire again.

I note, grimly, that your positive example (Germany and Italy post-WW2) was precipitated by the total defeat, occupation and renovation of those two states by the victors of the war. That is not possible in the current situation, where the best case outcome is that Russia retreats to pre-2014 borders with Ukraine.

On that note, other EU countries should pull their heads out of their asses and start creating better environments for business and especially small business/startups.

You know what happens in my country when you get a big sum of money from crowdfunding or the tax authority thinks you owe them money? They block your bank accounts. Yeah, they actually do that, and then tell you to come and resolve the problem. Which can take weeks to months.

You know what happens in a "normal" country like the UK, Germany, Netherlands or any other with a healthy number of small/medium business? They notify you and tell you to come and resolve the issue asap. If you fail to do that, they can block and check your bank accounts.

In the meantime, you can continue doing business. The punishment for tax evasion/etc is about the same all over.

So why the extra totalitarianism? Anyone with half a brain would never want to deal with that bs. And that's just one example, there's lots more.

You know where big companies come from? Small ones grow into them. Good luck growing much of anything with this kind of approach. Sit there and be envious of Germany and everyone else.
C and C++ aren't the outlier, because many projects use translation units as base_os_arch.extension.

And in what regards C++, we have proper modules now, which also don't map into a specific file.

Java now has a mix of packages and modules, because not all packages should be public to start with.

Ada introduced a similar concept in 1983.

C++ modules builds on similar ideas, with module partitions.

Then we have plenty of other less mainstream languages.

> This is an important point, which I'd refine to: we have democracy in order to choose between competing goals and ideologies.

I disagree with that. If you asked people what the goals should be for educating children, they’d probably be in broad agreement. But they differ widely in how they think those goals should be achieved.

Experts are only useful when there is a fairly rigorous scientific framework in place that has predictive power—the ability to predict what will work and what won’t.

Even in areas adjacent to those fields, the effectiveness of expertise quickly breaks down. Public health has elements of both medicine and social psychology, and the results were all over the place during the recent pandemic. When you get into other territory: education, welfare, etc., the real world value of expertise is even less.
I think more interesting is the discrepancy in pricing between Bitfinex (which sponsors Tether) and all the other fiat-off-ramp exchanges.
