Apparently, when I was little, I got excited one Christmas when the Queen’s speech was on tv, because I thought it was my Grandmother…

I used to take comfort in the idea that all things pass in time, now not so much. Probably because I realised that includes everyone I love, and myself!

I’ve no great love for the monarchy, but this is certainly the end of an era in British public life and likely in UK international relations - I can’t see the commonwealth nations welcoming King Charles as their new head of state.

And it is weird, there are some things you just never expect to change. I’m hardly a spring chicken, but Queen Elizabeth was not only there my entire life, but Queen far enough into the past before I was born to have interacted with historical figures (like Churchill).
Thanks for letting me know, will stop.
You're oversimplifying. "The law" is not the only thing that dictates peoples' behaviors. There are lots of other reasons why drinking may be more or less bothersome in some states versus others. Different places have different customs, particularly around drinking. Those customs combined with alcohol may create more or less of a public nuisance.
I like the idea a lot. However, putting my company data - contacts info included - in some cloud makes me uncomfortable, so please comment or add somewhere information about how you (plan to) solve things like security and privacy.

Was I also sexist in pointing out it is mostly males I see doing it?
It's still true that reserves are only a small fraction of deposits, so the part about calling it fractional reserve banking isn't incorrect.

Could you explain how this could be approached, with the wide sprawl of suburbs that exists, today?
> there's no guaranteeing that code coming from user input or databases or remote API calls satisfy the invariant

The idea is that you should check the invariant at the "boundaries" of your code. Then you can write your internal routines assuming that the invariant holds.

This is a developing pattern in Idris libraries that use "proof carrying" types. You write a function that returns 'Either DataValidationError (DPair Foo fooIsValid)' and use that to construct your internal data types as well as a proof that the data satisfies whatever invariants you need. It's just an application of the "parse, don't validate" principle, extended to use dependent and proof-carrying types.

The trickier scenario is when the data is already "internal" but is located outside of the application, like in a database. In that situation you either have to take the performance hit of doing internal integrity checks, or you assert that the invariant holds without checking it, and write tests accordingly + possibly out-of-band checking for data integrity.

For dynamically-typed languages and/or when using runtime "contracts", I think Clojure handles this by disabling some or all precondition checks at runtime, but expects them to be turned on during testing.

Having the United Kingdom is orthogonal to them being monarchies. Australia and Canada are independent, but also monarchies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), so, presumably, Scotland and Wales could choose to do the same.
Philanthropy these days is about tax haven "foundations" where you and your billionaire friends trade tax laundering "as charity" back and forth, and then appoint nepotistic kids to director roles at your foundation and pay them huge salaries.

One of the best examples of this was when Sarah Palin's teen daughter got pregnant, then got flack, so they created a "foundation" to fight teen pregnancy, and it was revealed that the Palin Daughter was being paid some ridiculous amount to be the head of the "foundation"

Anytime you hear about a billionaire's "foundation" -- think "money laundering"

The clinton Foundation (probably the most corrupt foundation known)? The Gates Foundation? The zuckerberg foundation... all of them are money laundering tax avoidance schemes. Irrespective of the small amount of "charity" they do - they money "stays in the family" as it were...

I really feel that Charles should at least consider passing on the Crown to his son William. William and Kate are immensely popular. It would be a good thing for Great Britain, British people as well as for the Royal Family. Charles and Camilla are the opposite in terms of respect and popularity to William and Kate, as far as I understand. If Charles does that, he would write himself into the annals of British history. I am not from GB, so I may be misreading the situation.
I think Boom will likely design and build a working aircraft, but they don't have the money or expertise to design an engine. Both GE and P&W are capable of designing and building the engine, the question is which will make the business deal with Boom. I am guessing that Boom either wants a cut of the service revenue, or wants to do most of the engine service themself.
The phrase the King is dead long live the King exists to make sense of the whole concept.

Elizabeth nor Charles are claiming devine right. They are a unfiying vestige of times past, providing as she did a human constant, an embodiment of the Commonwealth.

So long as their heredity isn't overtly providing them the ability or write or enforce law, it does not seem an affront to democracy.

Gold and silver coins are hard to track tokens which effectively represent a balance sheet except in a physical form rather than written words. In theory nothing prevents you from cutting out parts of a balance sheet and glueing them on another balance sheet to emulate physical tokens.

With Bitcoin it is quite obvious. The strange part is that these assets have no corresponding liabilities, nobody has to accept them. The best you can do is speculate that people will accept them in the future.

People haven't rejected the constraints of denominated money. Governments have. Governments have repeatedly destroyed commodity money because it prevents them from achieving an agenda that would require more money than they have. Historically these agendas have been wars. In modernity we have tacked on wealth redistribution and a social safety net. Without the constraints imposed on government by commodity money the government will continually grow without bound to the detriment of the prosperity of the people. After all, government creates nothing. More government spending means you and I work more hours to support the government, whatever the agenda, and less hours to enrich ourselves. I can decide better what to do with my money than any bureaucrat. If I believed they could do better I would donate willingly instead of at the point of a gun.
Agreed. At this point the main question seems to be about to what extent you can add any knobs to a free market via reserve requirements and interest rates and taxes and government spending. I happen to think a lot of that is voodoo that tends to backfire, but I think adding knobs can work better in some places if you do it right and that it’s a legitimate and unresolved (and probably unresolvable without a crazy experiment) empirical question.

Ultimately the more I read the more I recognize my own ignorance about a lot of this stuff and think the more most people are more ignorant than they realize. That’s why I tend to gravitate towards systems that maximize freedom at the national/international level, as I think any restrictions that need to exist tend to be emergent locally if allowed.

Follow up: I was curious about the math, so I thought others might find these numbers interesting as well:

At current continual growth rates (assuming the decline comes to a dead stop and remains steady), we will see 10 billion people late 2044.

How surprising... Developing a specific supersonic jet engine for this kind of plane would not be cost effective anyway, the fleet would be too small to worth the investment.
Even starting from a military jet engine, the way they are run and maintained is very different from civilian jet engines.

I have an idea that's only half insane. Bear with me. Let's assume we want to get rid of the monarch as Canada's head-of-state. Canada will not be able to feasibly do so because it opens up too many difficult questions about re-structuring our government. Ergo, we will probably just coast on the status-quo. But we could use the desire for everything to stay the same to our advantage by declaring the Queen Elizabeth II the Eternal Monarch even in death.

The Monarch of Canada is a ceremonial position. The Monarch's representative (the Governor General) is appointed by the Prime Minister and has no real power (see: the King-Bing Affair for legal precedent), and therefore could technically be done by anyone from anywhere (even beyond the grave). Politically speaking, absolutely nothing would have to change. The Monarch's effective power in our political system would go from basically zero to literally zero, thus eliminating an avenue for potential abuse of power that we risk by keeping a living Monarch as head-of-state. We could achieve this without having to re-open difficult constitutional questions. Traditionalist Canadian institutions with "Royal" in their names (Mounted Police, Army, Airforce, etc) would not have to change their names or branding. Heck, we wouldn't even have to change the designs on our money. Literally nothing would change except closing a loop-hole (albeit a very low-risk one) for potential power abuse in our political system.

The only down side is that smug know-it-alls can say "actually Canada is not a democracy, it's a Constitutional Necrocracy"

could this influence some of the last remaining royalties around the world? I don't think charles or his son will ever be well respected. Elizabeth was faithful to her role, very conservative, oversaw the end of the british empire, probably the last recognized monarch worldwide. Without her, the royalties of saudi arabia are somewhat without peers , which may delegitimize them in the eyes of their citizens.

"The Internet" is just everyone's computers (all those who are connected to the Internet at least, including yours and mine). It's a "network of networks". This is just a fact that most folks have either forgotten, or were never taught in the first place, and your ISP doesn't really want you to know or remember what the Internet really is, because then you'd know how badly you're being "shafted" by most of the ISPs out there these days.

> I feel the performance must be more than 100x slower than before!

Not too far off. This paper [0] compared 27 languages for speed and energy efficiency (which is very interesting).

Python was 72 times slower than C and consumed 76 times more energy.

I think Python is a very useful language at many levels. Great for prototyping stuff. No doubt about that. If performance and energy efficiency are important, it seems obvious one has to look elsewhere.

Queen Elizabeth shepherded Britain through one of the longest periods of peace, and stability in our history. I hope King Charles will continue that tradition.

I always remember this letter she wrote in a old copy of Burke's Peerage, on why she was banning the use of foreign titles.

"As chaste women ought not to cast their eyes on any other than their own husbands, so neither ought subjects to cast their eyes upon any other prince than him whom God hath set over them. I would not have my sheep branded with another man's mark; I would not have them follow the whistle of a strange shepherd."
-Queen Elizabeth II 1926 - 2022

God save the Queen. And protect us all from strange shepherds.
Not just British people. Canadians, for instance, still have a role for the head of the commonwealth...
All of that can be true, but it's not obvious whether "best AI, search, and ads" and "biggest video site" is worth more or less than "best phones and tablets, great laptops, best earbuds".

I was just in an exact situation that called for something like this. About a month ago, I was trying to implement a collaborative text editor for a freelance client. This was my first time working in the CRDT/conflict resolution space, and I was completely unprepared for how complex it was.

I was using a few open source packages - TipTap, YJS, ProseMirror - but I had a particular use case that the docs simply didn't address (long story). It was the kind of help that would really require at least an hour sit-down with a very experienced developer to brainstorm with me on a solution, but there's not an obvious marketplace for that kind of touchpoint.
Central Banks are hiking rates in a panic and that will likely crash economic activity and energy prices will fall again.

The current conditions are unlikely to be future conditions in a perfectly straight line.

None of the advice in this thread around conservation and solar/etc is bad, though, since reducing your energy bill also helps if you lose your job, but i'd be concerned if you decided to go into large amounts of debt right now.

You'll probably get a better deal on that solar conversion in a year or two (provided that you've still got a job and the funds to do it).
