I disagree - it is quite a bit different.

The United States and the individual states share both a fiscal and monetary union.

The EU, on the other hand, is a monetary union but not a fiscal union and our expectations for that arrangement range from hopeful to outright fatalism.

Because Croatian prices will be equal to German prices? Why?
There's a chance that cost of goods and services might significantly increase as businesses exploit unfamiliarity with the new currency. A cup of coffee that costs 15 HRK (2 EUR) today might cost 3 EUR tomorrow.

Having said that, it seems like they've foreseen this issue and currently require businesses to display prices in both currencies.
Sounds reasonable, looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
Thank you, also to the others that suggested alternatives. I'm not much of new year resolutions, but this 2023 I'm promising myself to set some limits with our digital landlords.

Always a difficult relationship, but these last two or three years have been specially infuriating: useful features that disappear for no good reason and new useless impossible-to-disable annoyances.
What stops me from trying LiveCode is that I don't see a way to buy a non-subscription version (would also have to not be significantly hobbled).

All the pricing plans are either grossly expensive (meaning I'd have to already be skilled with LiveCode and have at least one product profitable enough to offset the subscription), or too expensive for what I'd get (too limited features, and everything disables if you stop subscribing…including any ceated apps).

Things that make me almost want to try it: It looks like Hypercard (script-wise) and a bit like FutureBASIC II (including the Program Generator), can edit a running program and deploy to various platforms.
Some percentage of managers, including hiring managers, will also suck, and these can make crappy employees out of people who otherwise have potential to be good.
For whatever reason there's a consistent tendency for people of every era I've read about to think they are the smartest and most advanced that have walked the earth, topping a long arc of progress. The more I read about history the more obvious it is that over and over we've gained and then lost significant bodies of knowledge about civil engineering, surveying, agriculture, navigation, mathematics, etc. Pretty amazing.
I have had the same results. Passing by copy is simpler and less bug-prone and reduces the urge to "just set the value since I have a reference to the object" which is a well-paved road to significant pain.

And the objects have to get surprisingly large before passing by reference really makes a difference.
I had never heard of it in 2005 when my future in-laws - Germany - started going on about it. But it is truly brilliant.

I hear they're making a prequel!
There are already several countries whose official currency is USD. Of course they can't start printing their own USD.
> I'm not implementing specific algorithms. I'm making them up as I go

It's mindboggling to me that people are using a systems programming language for mathematical research, especially if they don't know yet what the final algorithms will look like.

But all the more power to you for trying.
Why we don't landed in the moon again yet?
It's been 54 years without another moon landing. Even with our current technology and projects, we didn't see anything similar again, why? What is stopping us on achieving something again. With our current technology to film, photo, it would be amazing event.
Well, I can't disagree that there is not some deep hypocrisy in being both a christian and mocking dying people.

In my experience, this combination of things are quite common. Their (Episcopal) church started doing a different communion process simply because it was revealed that the organist was out and parishioners did not want to share a common cup with him.

There are a lot of ways of describing why that doesn't seem cruel to those folks. To me, "culture war and political powerlessness" could be short hand for a number of things, ranging from neurosis to Žižek-ian "Ideology" to the contradictions of capitalism or the unworkability of philosophical idealism at the core of liberal practices.

It's a fact that these seemingly incompatible positions have gone together, though. So I suppose you could just say folks are "evil" but, that feels like it misses some nuance.
My experience confirms the general concept here (the number at 5% is arbitrary I'd place it higher than that). The point is (and I have found this to be true) if you deal with enough people you will hit on people who have let's say issues and do not think clearly or even close to rationally and there is simply no pleasing them. So for business the idea that you need all of your customers to be happy is simply not going to work. That is what I have found in actual practice over many many years.

Separate point when you are starting out in some business the easiest and first customers you get are the ones that nobody else wants or gives bad service to because they are irrational and unreasonable. (Keep that point in mind..)

There is an example with Zappos of someone being able to spend an entire day pleasing one customer. That is entirely unreasonable and except for the story and publicity value of that event makes no sense at all since anyone who wants to spend that much of your time is not going to be a customer that you (probably) want long term. At a certain point you simply have to (in business or life) walk away.

I disagree.

I'm not going to explain why.

How does that feel? What value does it add? (Sweet FA, eh.)

You're right, you might be right. But that does make it right. I get zero satisfaction from context-less down votes. I don't do them. I ignore them when I get them (i.e., they have zero influence on my HN behavior). If I'm changing my mind over some lazy a-holes' click, I'm losing. Big time.

I can't imagine why anyone feels any differently. The reality is, there are pointless noise. There's not enough context to drive anything actionable for anybody.

But while I have your attention: how about a feature request: Karma points that consider the discussion below a top-parent comment.
Haha! Always a classic!
(OP) its hard to have an exact percentage because it's (crude) observation - I could totally go with 2.5%. The number is in the low single digits for sure, but definitely higher than a rounding error (or a null-hypothesis). Whatever the number is, it's high enough to impact the people that have to interact with lots of other people - they feel it, which is really what I was getting at.
That is already the case. The right to freely move and work anywhere (not only in the EU but EEA and Switzerland) is not bound to Schengen.

That lever hasn't been there in a while. Croatia could never lift the peg to Euro without massive disruption to almost everyone here.

A few years ago, Switzerland lifted its peg. Only a very small number of Croatian mortgages have using CHF at the time (the rates were better then EUR or HRK ones) and the resulting damage was huge (bankruptcies, people's lives' ruined), still having repercussions ot this day.

Compared ot that, virtually all of the mortgages (and other types of loans) are either calculated in Euro or pegged to Euro directly or indirectly. If the peg had ever lifted, you'd have rioters in all the major cities the next day.

A good article, and part of what turned me onto this issue a few years back, is this piece by ProPublica investigating the USS Fitzgerald and McCain crashes

https://features.propublica.org/navy-accidents/us-navy-crash...

A quick break down:

* chronic understaffing - ships have a certain number of billets. 7th Fleet in particular has been sending ships to sea without all their billets filled, particularly in the junior officer ranks. This means that you're not just doing your job, but also doing the job of the person who isn't there

* deferred maintenance - there's a lot of redundancy on these ships (warships tend to like that) so if something breaks it's not catastrophic - you can just use the back up until the sophisticated main system is repaired in port. However, after years of "just using the back up," those systems are failing, and HAVE to be repaired, often at sea. So, in addition to your job, and the job of the person who isn't there, you might also have to go help fix the HVAC or some weapon system or what have you.

* aggressive operational tempo - the Navy has said they need X number of boats to do the tasks required of them. They are funded for/have X-N boats. In order to make up the deficit, the ships they have are deployed on longer cruises, with less time to fix things. This is the core issue that's the root cause of these other failure cases, in my opinion.
99 cents vegetable peeler from Ikea, I've been peeling my vegetables with it for the whole year.
That’s exactly what universities are these days. They sell a signal that says “this worker can do the bare minimum you need” called a Degree. We make the worker get certified themselves, but this is the purpose. To act like modern Universities do anything else today is disingenuous in my opinion. It’s like saying people who work in finance are there to allocate capital efficiently. No, they’re there to make money. That’s it.
I agree she was being unreasonable. The article claims that 3%-5% of people are "terrible" and "just wanted to be mean, nasty, selfish brutes" and the quote I used was used by the author as evidence for that claim. The author takes a situation where someone was being unreasonable and then throws in a hypothesis based on tenuous reasoning.

I agree with you in theory/academically but disagree with you that the difference matters in application. The only difference is the force with which the dissenting or economically weaker parties can be dragged by the majority; in both cases, the dissenting are still getting dragged (and drag applied to the majority). There is no appetite in either case to dissolve the monetary union. Witness how poorly it went for the UK leaving the EU, and that’s with maintaining their own currency.
I'm on 16.2, unless they revamped it all in that minor update, it's not cutting it for me. I know that there's a precipitation bar chart but it's a lot of toggling back and forth.

Ecuador, El Salvador, Palau and East Timor did. Of course, it's "official" only on their side, the US hasn't endorsed it but they don't really care and couldn't do much about it even if they wanted to.
> When I rewrite python code in C, I often hit 1000x speedups, and sub-100x is rare. And that's line-for-line. When I fix an accidentally-quadratic issue, for example, I've seen speedups in the billions without even changing the language.

And neither of those is a microbenchmark thing, which is kind of my point. I'm surprised language would hurt that much, but that's enough to break things on its own without any layering.

> Since the early '00s, we have not seen a 500x improvement in CPU speed. It's less than 2x on frequency, and let's say 8x on core-count for most users (which doesn't help your single-core lazy programmer).

I don't think people are talking about 2004 when they talk about the responsiveness of ancient software on ancient hardware. I interpret that as more like an Apple II. But instructions per clock have also gone up a lot since the pentium 4 days, and having more than one core in your CPU has a huge impact even for single-threaded programs.
This is such a complex issue. It worked well for some, bad for others and nobody knows what the future holds, but one thing is for certain: they're trading away part of their sovereignty, make no mistake about that.

Even though it may be mathematically equivalent, I think the psychological appeal is important to motivate people to vote at all, if not think clearly about how they vote, and do it honestly and wisely.

I think that 0 being "don't care" and negative numbers being negative percentages is easier to grasp and more balanced and granular than (3) being neutral. Even -3 to 3 would be better than 1 to 7.

Voting "A: -100%, B: -100%, C: -100%" weights each candidate the same as "A: 0%, B: 0%, C: 0%" the same as "A: 100%, B: 100%, C: 100%", but as you said, it's useful to get an overall count of the voters' absolute satisfaction with each candidate.

A popular positively winning candidate would have a more legitimate claim to a mandate, and the lesser of two evils candidates would be branded as such.

> Any organization including a union eventually gets captured by corruption.

How is it not just "any organization eventually get captured by corruption?"

I have seen this happen on every scale and even with seemingly frivolous things, like my mom's garden club.

I think corruption is an emergent trait of groups of humans. We socialize. We're political. We have goals. Favors happen. Boom - corruption!
Im not AT ALL responsible for a system that is not controlled by the people. That has been as clear as day for the past 50 years. If you are supporting it, you are the problem. You are supporting corruption by playing its game.

Yes my "do something" is focusing on supporting grassroots people and efforts that we have direct control over.

I have no interest in supporting systems that are not backed up by common individuals.

I’m a big fan of playing FPS with mouse and keyboard to unwind and right now Ultrakill has supplanted Doom Eternal for me. One major reason is that not only am I enjoying the gameplay more, but I can play it on almost any hardware I own (including in Parallels on an M1 Mac on arm64 windows).

> Because pure honesty is never an optimal strategy? I'm not aware of a system where that's the optimal strategy

It's not in a system alone. Strategies are something you have when you have information about the other players and their payoffs.

As it happens, honesty is an excellent strategy in Condorcet methods (even the "bad" ones, like those who aren't monotonic) when you have a realistic amount of information about other people's preferences/strategies. People who are honest because they can't be bothered to be strategic, do great with those methods.

In approval, even the information about who the front runners are, causes trouble.

And in range, even with NO information, you'll know it's better to just use the max and min values.

Those systems don't encourage honesty, and the "extra information" range sneaks in from self-reported strength of preferences on an absolute scale, is junk information. Nothing good can come of using it. Certainly it's no good to use it to reject a candidate that is preferred by a majority over all the other candidates.
Long term it will not hurt them, but they are not helping themselves short term.

The best course of action for them would have been to just ignore it, their continued engagement keeps it in the news and keeps expanding the Audience.

> The real issue is they lose the ability to issue debts in their own currency and whether that's good or bad depends hugely on individual counties.

Having your own currency also allows you to set monetary policy and not just follow the European Central Bank. So in time of financial crisis you can print as much money as you want and fiddle with exchange rates to make your country more competitive.

The only hypothesis I can come up with that lets me square the archaeological evidence (the numerous sites with pre-clovis dates) and the genetic evidence (almost all current North American indigenous population genetics derives from a single population that split off 17Kya) is that there's been multiple waves of people that have migrated into the Americas, and that either the events precluding or surrounding the Younger Dryas period contributed to a severe depopulating of the continent at that time, or that the most recent wave of immigrants almost entirely wiped out the previous population, as had they absorbed them I would assume we'd see more genetic evidence of that.

Personally I think the preponderance of archaeological evidence is strongly suggesting that there were absolutely people in the Americas pre-clovis, but the really interesting question from here then is who were they and what happened to them?

It's a lot when you ARE working!
I'm glad you brought this up. It allows me to get to my point which is that choice between corrupt corporations isn't really a choice at all.

It highlights the absurdity of choice under markets, namely that markets frame choices in a way that constrains thinking. Markets don't provide for choices beyond their horizon while making people think that they have all the choice in the world.

These are in fact the same thing. It's just as absurd to say, "why don't you create your own government if you don't like this one?" as it is to say "why don't you just not engage with corrupt corporations?" The question itself is ill-posed and assumes its own conclusion.

This very mechanism is addressed in Žižek's summation, "I would prefer not to," and in the topic of choosing among the least corrupt corporations, I too would like to affirm the non-predicate. I would prefer not to.
