One of the interesting things I learned from RegEx searching all books published prior to 1918 was that the earliest minted coins were minted in Lydia.

Another interesting finding was the story of flexible glass. Though almost certainly a fabrication, it is nonetheless instructive of the nature of value (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_glass).
No, this is socialism as best. Not communism.
I assume the author is mainly referring to the video by Dave's Garage [1], at least the items listed match up pretty well with the points made in the video.

I seem to remember Dave making some of these points as examples rather than asserting them as the truth of what occurred with CrowdStrike, but it's been a couple days since I watched the video.

But there are people who are peculiar and decide to only do one thing. Such a person can easily decide that the only thing that matters is interpreting the law as written.
The point about stability is that as the curve of stability is not a straight line. That is as the number of nucleons increases, you need proportionally more and more neutron to be stable. So you cannot just smash small nuclei together to form bigger ones. Somehow you need to add some extra neutrons.

> $2B of this funding will support the conversion of hotels, motels, and other buildings into housing and the construction of new housing for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness and those living with mental health or SUD. This is estimated to lead to 4,350 new housing units, with 2,350 units set aside for veterans

Which is $500k/unit, which doesn't seem out of the question, given how expensive the Bay Area is.Though you'd hope with economies of scale you could get it down lower.

I know that you said you don't want a premade kit and following instructions and this is *close* to that... but I think it might still be a great fit.

Mark Rober has a new product where they ship a new robot every 2 months. They give you the basic instructions on how to build/program it but the idea is that you take that knowledge and then expand on it yourself by adding features. My daughter is still a little too young for it so I haven't used it personally. The biggest issue is that it is a subscription and not a one time purchase.

A brute force search has perfect knowledge. Calling it "dumb" encourages bad analogies -- it's "dumb" because it doesn't require advanced reasoning. It's also "genius" because it always gets the right answer eventually. It's hugely expensive to run.

Yes some people hold different views on the nature of humanity. That doesn't mean they're delusional, it just means they're different.

Personally, no I don't think greed is intrinsic. I think its learned. I also don't think its eat or be eaten. I think that's learned, ingrained, to benefit the most powerful.

I think 99% of people are good and just want a decent life. They don't care about having more or being better.

I agree that the governor's efforts to remove homeless encampments is a good thing.

But the worst part about homelessness is the quality of life for homeless people -- full stop. Framing the problem of homelessness as a financial burden of much wealthier property owners dehumanizes the people most affected by homelessness and perpetuates the lack of effort to address the problem.
Public funding for whatever means the government is picking winners and losers. Whoever pays the piper calls the tunes. Public funding always comes with strings.

The government funded Langley with $60,000 to build a working airplane. It fell into the Potomac "like a sack of wet cement".

The Wrights spent $3,000 and build a working, flying airplane.

The jet engine was invented and developed with private funds. The US government told Lockheed to stop working on jet engines and develop better piston engines instead.

>Maybe you could make the argument there should be better export restrictions on private companies to treat so called "cyber-weapons" like real weapons.

As far as what is known with NSO group, Israel does categorize and control the cyber weapons as weapons, and have restrictions in place. But those restrictions are not based on any ethical code, rather only if the said client is not against or subservient to the interests of the State of Israel. Just like it does with IMI exports.
Just a quibble,

In a business situation, with a motivated person, state the action you want quickly and then give whatever needed details.

In a business situation, with an unmotivated person, state the problem quickly and then the action needed for solution (or the reason this is the needed action and then the action, etc).

In a story telling situation, you can draw out the scene setting 'till when you state the problem until the final result is suitably dramatic ("For just a second, the mist parts and the rust-red scaly snout of a red dragon can be")

That why I can't get the author's idea D&D helps with business questions. As a DM, I describe the environment neutrally and don't give my players action bullet points 'cause it's their job to come up with those (and if I do their job for them, they lose out).
A recruiter told me that if you click the link to apply to a company website Linkedin considers that an application since they don't have visibility into the application process once you leave the site.

I think you're right that, in the object-oriented world, a method isn't a necessary condition for most people to consider something an "object".

What the author seems to be saying is that if someone asked you to sell OOP, one way you'd sell it is by mentioning that an object can couple logic and state. That's a distinguishing factor between objects and other data structures.
Even for a beta this is clunky and practically unusable compared to Google Maps. It's pretty obvious that Apple still has a very long way to go to offer a competitive maps product. Google is just so far ahead of whatever this beta is.

For example, I centered the map on my location in Los Angeles, CA and then clicked search for "Gas Stations", and it promptly reposition the map and gave me all the gas stations in San Jose, CA, a city hundreds of miles away. WTF? This is probably one of the most common use cases and they can't get it right.

I managed to drop a pin somehow, not sure, and now I can't remove it and the map is stuck focusing on this random pin point. I don't see any UI for removing the dropped pin. I can't move the pin, or do anything to change where the pin is. Ugh.

Lisp is too powerful and flexible. That's an advantage and a disadvantage.

On the one hand, you can use that power to write elegant programs with great abstractions.
One the other hand it's really really easy to create unmaintainable messes full of ad-hoc macros that no-one, not even you next month, will be able to understand.

Even if the program is well-written, it can be a really steep learning curve for junior hires unless it's very well documented and there's support from the original writers available.

Compare it to other languages that limit your ability to express yourself while writing code.

The truth is that most programs are not really interesting and having a code base that can be hacked-on easily by any random programmer that you can hire is a really valuable proposition from the business point of view, and using less powerful languages is a good way to prevent non-experts from making a mess.
Nah, this is not true. This is just the narrative because someone want to get the honors or the stacks of cash. Apple wasn't created by Steve Jobs. Not even created by Steve Jobs and the Woz. They did start something that eventually became Apple. They had a lot of sway, but without all the other people that worked there and created all the important details it would have just been a pipe dream.
This is not so much about which cities are walkable, but a survey of how people actually do get around there. Big difference. I've browsed the dataset and Auckland rates as less "walkable" than Kuala Lumpur. Yes, Kiwis do get around by car a lot, but Auckland is still a perfectly pleasant, walkable city. On the other hand, I've never been in a more pedestrian-hostile place than KL.

Let's ignore that most of the places people work are not publicly traded companies and pretend that any employee could buy stock in their employer.

If that were the case and employees were compensated equally in stock vs cash, then yes there is no _rational_ difference. However, most human are not rational.

People like to take pride in their work and do a great job, this is amplified when they stand to directly benefit from their efforts. By enabling employees ownership in a company you're hoping to incentivize them to work harder and therefore amplify the return on their labor.
This is about ownership, not decision making. How you set up the decision making process is entirely up to the company.

The same argument could be made for any other kind of shared ownership company.
>you expect your case to be the only one used

I expect the text editor to be a different component. Take a look at any other UI toolkit's text view like Swift for example:

>A view that displays one or more lines of read-only text.[0]

or QT:

>QLabel is used for displaying text or an image. No user interaction functionality is provided.[1]

In fact, even for just displaying text, I still expect rich text to be handled by a separate component. In Flutter you have RichText for example.[2] I don't know why are are confusing separating components with the components existing at all. Yes, "just displaying text" should be a simple component, because any
reasonable UI toolkit will have already abstracted out all the layout code into a level bellow the user facing widgets, and the simple text component will just call into that.

>Have you handled LTR text correctly

That is handled by Layout via setTextDirection, not TextView. This is what I meant by saying you should read the code. Also I already mentioned text direction in my previous comment in this chain which I see you have not bothered to read.

>custom unicode in fonts, weird alignment issues due to accent marks?

Huh? Just read the code. TextView is not doing any of that.

>My guess would be no

All you have to do si wire up these fields from the XML input (another awful ASDK technology). That's really what TextView is meant to do: send its values to the underlying Layout and handle text selection like copy-paste. I didn't want to wire up XML that I don't need so I didn't. None of it is particularly hard.

while meditating on K (but not the KKK of the Kataastaasan Kagalangalangang Katipunan):

> (I am guessing their eval is your `apply`)

Almost: their eval is the result of evaluating my `apply`, so "fac `apply` 6" expands to "1 if 6<=1 else 6 * fac `apply` (6-1)" which can then be evaluated to "720"; the evaluation of the application is their `eval`, for which fac:ℕ^ℕ * 6:ℕ -> 720:ℕ.

(I guess my `apply`, being B^A * A -> B^1, is still isomorphic to their eval, so it does depend upon what "is" is)

> And are the SKI uphill or downhill derivatives :)?

With that in mind, `I` is obviously a flat derivative, that just walks along contour lines...

Assuming we're following Lee's injunction to "be like water" (the path of the 10'000 things?), then `K` would be downhill, for it's always easy to throw away/project out/forget the inessential.

`S` would then be uphill, but in a special way: unless we're doing something special, like S(K(SII))(S(S(KS)K)(K(SII))), we want to go "uphill", but towards a pass; we're trying to use the application to build an "activated complex"* which will then spontaneously (via evaluation) ultimately reach a value, downhill from where we started.

What is `∇` in this model?

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_complex ; you don't see it in the typical 1-D slice pictured, but that transition state is a saddle point in the full parameter space.

> Why should they optimize for the <0.1% of people who don't have JS enabled?

Because their competitors do that.

Most counts place non-js users (which is not always their choice) between 1% and 4%.

That means that for every 10,000 users, there will be between 100 and 400 that don't have js enabled. It's been estimated that buzzfeed, which we use as a traffic example, gets over 10 million requests that don't support js per month.
Crutchfield introduced a conceptual device called the epsilon (ε) machine. This device can exist in some finite set of states and can predict its own future state on the basis of its current one. It’s a bit like an elevator, said Rosas; an input to the machine, like pressing a button, will cause the machine to transition to a different state (floor) in a deterministic way that depends on its past history—namely, its current floor, whether it’s going up or down, and which other buttons were pressed already.

How is this different from a turing machine?

I came shockingly close to being a billionaire, and one of the things I've been fantasizing about recently for how I'd spend a billion dollars is: angel investing in a private Amazon/WalMart replacement (online, retail, warehouse, delivery). Never to touch the stock market. With the goal being to build a business that could pay people a living wage to work there, and allow them time to hit the john when they need to.

Rather than filtering vast sums of the revenue into the C-suite and shareholders, coming up with a way to make the workers be able to afford housing.

So far, it's just a pipe dream. "We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
>The current allocation of capital in the US is quite inefficient if we're interested in the welfare of the public.

The welfare of the public today is not the same as the welfare of the public for all time. The Soviet Union couldn't compete on the development of computers, because the USSR was trying to optimize towards what could computers be used for then and there. It turned out that computers could be used for a lot more than what people thought of at the time.

Drug R&D and patents lead to enormous profits for companies, because they can charge outrageous prices for the drugs. But the benefit to the public is that now those drugs and the knowledge about them exist. That's going to have a cumulative positive effect for hundreds of years in the future.
How about this scenario:

Houses go up in price exactly in keeping with inflation. I buy a house with 10% down[1] as a way of locking in the current price, to avoid my rent going up every six months, even if the initial payment is more than my rent[2].

Time passes. The price of everything doubles. If I had kept my down payment instead of buying the house, it would have grown into twice as many dollars, and still be worth the original amount in actual value. My house has also doubled in value. But I only paid for 10% of it with pre-inflation dollars (and since then I have paid the mortgage with dollars of decreasing value). I come out ahead in that scenario - my net worth has grown, even adjusting for inflation.

[1] Yes, I am ignoring the difficulty of scraping together the down payment.

[2] Yes, I am also ignoring the difficulty of having enough spare cash to make the payments the first year or two.

It's a good bet that vehicle form factors will proliferate. We are at the point of having the first purpose-built vehicles. When there are millions of them they will probably vary in size and capacity. But only if smaller ones can be cheaper and usage patterns support high capacity vehicles, which probably won't be uniformly true across different cities.

I see two possible paths:

* As the population ages, the elderly will pass laws and policies that favor themselves at the expense of the younger. Social services will become more and more of a burden on wage earners - even to the point of unsustainability (as long as those in power as a "ruling" block get what they believe they are owed.)

* As the elder population gradually loses their political power, the younger leaders will pass laws and policies that favor themselves at the expense of the elder. Social services will become less and less meaningful - even to the point of neglect and abject poverty for those who need it (as long as those in power as a "ruling" block get what they believe they are owed.)

Those two paths are not necessarily divergent and are quite likely sequential.

The problem is those people are trying to intellectualize animals. Humans are animals. We, presumably, have free will. We, presumably, have rationality. While these traits make us higher order animals, we are still animals, and the law of the jungle always applies. It is delusional to act otherwise, because when push comes to shove if it's a choice between starvation/death or nearly any alternative, people will choose the alternative every time, which includes violent acts, acts of greed, and all manner of despicable things. I'm not even making a moral argument here, morals are irrelevant. Morals are a fiction created by people to philosophize our own societies. But the reality of the world transcends humanity and we cannot avoid it.
