Turbotax, Quicken, etc, is a great warning, those companies lobby to increase complexity of trivial matters (like personal tax returns). The same companies will do this with 'trivial' legal matters, and the only way forward is to buy their software.

And my answer is that it doesn't matter. Right or wrong doesn't exist in international politics.

Do I want this to be the state of affairs? No. Can I change it? No. So it doesn't matter.
How is the approach in Ruby different/better? Asking out of ignorance.
We are talking here about country and country's culture. What you say works for homogenous societies, but there are plenty of countries with multiple official languages where none of the citizens would be part of their country culture then, look at Switzerland, Belgium, US, etc., these countries don't really have single country culture defined by one common language, but at same time I'm sure all these people living there share similar country culture despite some of them being able to talk to each other.

If you say "any culture" then sure you can be always part of some (sub)culture if you narrow it down, it just matter how much you are going to narrow it, in the end you can be part of culture of foreigners living in specific country.
You’re talking about this as if it’s binary. Someone who tips 5% is still tipping, but the server isn’t likely to be happy about it. The point is that there is no agreement on tipping since “tip me something” isn’t really an agreement. So someone supposedly under tipping isn’t “robbing” anything since no agreement on a tip has been made beforehand. The only agreed upon price is what’s on the menu (plus applicable taxes).

In Ohio your property taxes get reassessed periodically. So as the local market goes up so does you tax burden. People really do get priced out of their home, sometimes priced out of the area entirely, especially if they are living on a fixed income.

> is there a fairer, algorithmic way to carve up a geographical area into election districts so we can apply the same solution to every state?

I would argue to throw out the constraint that each district must contain the same number of people. There is no reason for that other than the fact that "one man, one vote" sounds good when you hear it. It makes just as much sense as applying the same constraint to senators.

Representatives are supposed to represent a common interest group, not Democracy In The Abstract. If two people are a part of the same community with the same interests, why wouldn't they share a representative? The right approach is to identify natural districts first and then not care whether they're the same size.
Lets not forget that Wirth was on the ALGOL design group, and Pascal was initially designed as it saw ALGOL as being too complex for teaching purposes.

So there is a little bit of Wirth on ALGOL as well.
Is Discord a Spyware?
I didn’t know this perception existed about Discord.

We are launching our open source product, and someone from the open source community warned us because we use Discord for communication and encourage our community to join us there.

How popular is this perception? Where do you prefer to hang out as closed online communities?

It is still a thing, however, not for hardcore leftists. They will be very fast in calling you a nazi or at least faschist if you utter sentences like that. I am guessing they dont want to see their utopia fail, so they ignore everything which would be evidence against their view of the world.

And its fucking sad, because I used to see myself as part of "them". However, this inability to reflect about ones own failings has totally alienated me.
It is true that the plasticity of children's brains is higher than that of adults. Research also suggests that in very early childhood, children have an exceptionally good ability to discern different sounds and the ability to learn how to make those sounds, although this ability is lost at some point.

However, I believe many people overestimate the advantage children have in learning a language. For example, a four-year-old can have a basic conversation and communicate their needs, but they are not yet able to have a complex conversation. Their vocabulary and pronunciation may not be fully developed yet.

It's important to note that this child has spent a significant portion of their life learning the language and is exposed to it daily, and likely has parents or others to practice their language skills with. Despite this, their language level is not yet perfect.

The point I am trying to make is that it takes a significant amount of time and effort to learn a language, and there is no shortcut or "hack." Most adults would likely do comparably well if they dedicated the same time and effort to learning a language as children do.
Well, because there are now e.g. two cases of murder instead of only one, and the second one was entirely preventable? Oh, right, the law is not about the populace's lives and well-being, how silly of me to assume that.
Yes, it is a common complaint in newspapers.

On one hand it's just part of a continuum of language transitions in a city that never was monolingual or even Finnish-dominated for most of its history. 110 years ago many neighborhoods in Helsinki were majority Swedish-speaking and the official language mandated for the government was Russian. A lot of people spoke all three languages. (I'm 42, was born in Helsinki, and I remember from my childhood shops in fancier neighborhoods where the service was in Swedish.)

On the other hand it's a real shame that it risks sending Finnish into a vicious circle of decreasing usage: the elites start speaking English and working in English, and Finnish once again becomes the insignificant language of country bumpkins.

Between 1860 and 1940, the nation collectively worked very hard to "uplift" Finnish into a real written language that is actively used in literature, science, audiovisual culture, and so on. People translated their family names and started speaking Finnish to their children. I can see that work being undone over the next century. (My own two children probably would have lost the language if we hadn't returned to Finland now; we were living abroad for years and they'd already started talking English between themselves.)
I think it's local phenomenon. It seems to be the case in the US at least. Where I live (Switzerland), most people are using WhatsApp (or Threema or Signal) anyway, even if they have iPhones.

There are thousands of specializations out there and i probably haven't even heard of 90+% of them.
What a scam! AI should be used to help educate people if they want to defend themselves in court (along with a few good books), not replace professionals.

This is purely exploitative behavior from anyone offering such a service and depressingly nihilistic behavior from anyone seeking these kinds of services even if it's just fighting traffic tickets for now.

I wish all professional services had similar watchdogs and protections from unlicensed/unauthorized work!

We're at the point where leveraging technology is becoming existential. Quite literally putting every aspect of life on autopilot is not only absurd but a cancer.

If we're going to see the secular decline of certain professional services it should be at the hands of well-educated humans, not roll-of-the-dice AI. Would a well educated public not be a massive net good for society instead of exploiting the poor? What a small minded and backwards world we live in today.
I use n8n too, but the biggest problem for me (as a developer) is, that it cost too much time to define complex rules and test them. An easier define and better test output procedure could be a great advantage over n8n.

Don't concentrate too much on "non" developers, cause these people normaly not use such tools, no matter how easy they are. That is why i hope you add better tooling for developer, to make their live easier.

Depends on the circumstances. If it would render you stateless, no (at least for signatories to the relevant convention). Otherwise, it's up to the country; Japan revokes permanent residence (but not citizenship) for those who have left the country permanently (after many years) or those who commit serious crimes, so that's a genuine difference (OTOH citizens can be subject to the death penalty, which I guess amounts to revocation of citizenship in a way). However if you acquired another citizenship, or failed to renounce your previous citizenships when naturalizing, then your citizenship can be revoked as a simple administrative procedure.
The plan is for the balloon to partially vent at a target altitude, and a separate cloud chamber to release then.

Same in the UK, you have to get lifts or taxis everywhere, unless you live in big cities (London has great public transport, but so does New York. The weekly bus that my sister gets doesn't really help her to travel to work as dozens of different schools all over the county)

It's a very good reason not to speed.

So it's just a fine that Americans get for speeding?

Are fines at least proportional to wealth? Or can a rich people speed without problem as saving 10 minutes on their journey is worth the $100 fine even if it was guaranteed they got one?

(In the UK speed is almost entirely enforced by cameras, not by police cars which are rarely seen on roads. Removes any bias the cop might have -- maybe the cop has it in for young tesla drivers so pulls them over, but lets the old guy in a pickup go past)
Take a look at https://www.legalquestions.help/ which gets the above issues wrong at times enough to not rely on it. Maybe their training was bad or insufficient (and I fully expect that sometime in the future this not to be the case).
My wife did much better than I did, even though she never became fully fluent.

I will agree that I didn't go to a full immersion language school. But we did arrange for multiple tutors, some on our own dime and some paid for by her employer or mine. And we interacted with the people in our neighborhood on a daily basis.

I found that those who were Flemish speakers would actively prefer to practice their English with me, while Francophones would usually switch to English grudgingly, once they discovered how bad my French was. There were a few Francophones who couldn't speak English at all, or who refused to switch, and interactions with them were very limited and not very productive.

I honestly tried to learn French, but none of it stuck.

In contrast, during those same years, my wife and I took three different vacations to Italy. Twice to Rome and once to Ischia and the Amalfi coast. And I swear to $DEITY that I learned and used more Italian in those four total weeks, than all the French I ever spoke over nearly eight years in Belgium. Something about Italian and Spanish is just far easier for me to pick up.
> I know we all hate regulations, but some of them exist for a reason, and the reason is Bad Shit happened before we had regulations.

That's not the only reason regulations exist.

And most 'Bad Shit' can already be dealt with via existing rules, instead of specific new regulations. But making new rules sounds good to the voters and can also be a powergrab.

China's share in chips was a paltry low-single figure until few years ago -- less than 5% of global chip sales, according to SIA's report in 2022, and that also had a lot to do with foreign chip makers (eg, Samsung's Xi'an plant which opened in 2019 accounts for 40% of their entire DRAM production).

Companies are free to reorganise and to eliminate jobs as a consequence. That's why layoffs are often called "redundancies" (at least in the UK), the cause is that the position has been made redundant.

There is a procedure to follow and which is specific to each jurisdiction. In general this may involve a consultation with employees, setting transparent and fair criteria for selecting employees who will be laid off, giving enough notice and paying required severance (minimum mandated by law).

For instance if you worked at Twitter in Europe and it was decided that your team was no longer needed...

> you need to understand that you had the time, resources and intelligence to learn it to a very proficient degree.

English is taught on this level for decades already, so it would be odd if you were in productive age and didn't experience it.

> The parents you're calling obese and ignorant, they might be a bit like you in that they don't want to use their time to learn something they don't really have to and rather spend time with their children.

Nothing wrong with that, same as I find nothing wrong with me for not intending talk to them, while commenter I'm responding to thinks we should talk to each other.

> Also in many countries, teachers and hospital workers, amongst other professions, are government workers. You calling them usually lazy people is insulting and ignorant.

Gov official is someone working directly for gov, meaning (gov) bureaucrat. Teachers, hospital workers I would call state workers, certainly not gov "officials", but maybe my understanding in English is wrong.

Kind of. Consider solar panels. A lot of the time, you'll be using around 30% of the discharge capacity to keep you overnight. However, some days will be cloudy, so you might have to use more of the capacity.

In this situation, a Lead-Acid will have the full capacity that you bought, but will age like you're using 30% of the capacity most of the time.
English language is really a superpower. I speak a little Spanish and was chatting up with an Argentine couple in Thailand. They don't speak much English and were telling me stories of being stuck and lost and swindled while traveling abroad.

I've managed to travel to 30+ countries and never felt out of place because most places will somehow accommodate English speakers.

The only place I felt a little bit of language hostility was in Russia. Moscow was probably the least English-friendly major city I've ever been to - but that makes sense from a historical perspective.
I think people should be free to make spaces where they exclude some things as off-topic, flamebait, trolling, etc. eg If I want to run a forum about woodworking then I should be free to remove posts about abortion, guns, CRT, or whatever political hot button issue people might post about.

You didn't answer my questions. Do you think it would decrease the odds of reoffending if they didn't get bail?

If it doesn't, then it's two crimes either way, just timed differently. And after the policy settled in it would have negligible impact on the crime rate.

Also if you're doing sentencing for two crimes at once you can give a longer punishment for the first crime and get them off the street longer.
Funny enough, me either. But that's missing the point.

How long until we "truly understand every possible outcome"? 10 years? 15?

When you speak in absolutes, you don't even need to move goalposts. Since we will (obviously) never understand everything, if we follow your criterion then nobody could ever start anything.

This weird double standard is only ever applied to geoengineering, but never regular pollution. Based on the relative conversational noise levels, apparently it's fine that we pollute as much as we want without "truly understanding every possible outcome." (cue the "I sleep/Real shit" meme image)
