That's a great point about the original House and Senate; I agree. I don't know that it makes the president less democratic than the House. I suppose presidents weren't directly elected either, via the electoral college, etc.
But why are Yemeni coffee shops immune to these issues?

I think the answer is they are a tighter knit community (potentially a family) than the average coffee shop, so easier to keep the shop staffed late.

Maybe the Irish, who were genocided by the English up into the 20th century.

Would you say that only an idiot believes in speed limits? Again, the point isn’t that some practices are ontologically best, but that you must limit the freedom of individual teams to decide what’s best in order to achieve organization-wide standards.
Wrong. Newscorp accounts for < 20% of all major news coverage. Turn on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, PBS, Bloomberg, etc right now and there’ll be some “Omg look what Trump did now!” type segment on. Straight up propaganda with extreme bias. e.g. They literally edited a Kamala interview response on 60 Minutes bc she sounded like a moron. Endless examples like that if you take an objective look.

The whole “Fox News Bad!” argument has been outdated since George W left office.

The English colonized, ruled, and conducted a deliberate genocide against the Irish people. It's pretty analogous.

The English starved them to death. The English forcibly displaced them. The English stole their resources.

The English even forbade them from speaking their language.
Not dance it, though. Personally I’d only have a prayer of identifying it because I’d recognize it as “not Flamenco… probably?” and that’s nearly the end of old-timey dances that I know the names of, so I’d guess waltz. Not because I actually know what it is, though—you could probably trip me up by picking any of several other kinds of non-waltz dances to show me, and I’d call them waltzes too.

What are your opinions on lists like this?

Labour won the election, but Starmer’s approval rating is already down to 27% after just six months. https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/dissatisfaction-starmer-reaches-.... That’s not surprising given that Labour got half a million fewer votes than it did in 2019, when it lost in a landslide, but won anyway because of infighting among the right wing.

That’s what I meant when I said nationalists have rendered ruling parties impotent even when they can’t outright win the election. Similar things have happened in Germany and France. In Germany, it took the right splitting and a stoplight coalition of greens, neoliberals, and socialists to cobble together a majority. In France, it took a coalition of communists, socialists, and centrists. It’s hard to actually govern when the winning side has little in common other than opposition to nationalism.

And any leftist/centrist coalition is fragile, relying on infighting among the right. If Tories became a strongly nationalist, anti-immigration party, they could probably win. Same thing for CDU. That’s already happened in the U.S. GOP.

Raiding in original WoW covered a wide spectrum. There were a tiny handful of hardcore cutting edge raiders, some who wanted to be those cutting edge raiders but weren’t (that Onyxia video), super chill raiders who were 2+ major raids behind and mostly used raiding as an excuse to goof around in Ventrilo, and everywhere in between. My guild fell in the last of those categories and it was fun.

While being “serious” became more popular in raiding over time, prior to M+ that mentality never came to dungeons. Up until its addition those were more of a go in with whatever ragtag crew you could gather together and have fun kind of thing, which has sadly has mostly been supplanted by solo content in modern WoW. There’s little content that requires a group and is low-stakes enough for the social or fantasy aspects to take precedence over the competitive ones.

No. What you are refering to might be in regards to Uralification, while 50% of Saami undeniably have been indigenous population and were there before Uralics arrived there. And Nordics encroached on lands where even partly Uralized Saami were first. No one is arguing that Saami are indigenous to Oslo, but they were first in 80% of Scandinavia.

You need a common culture to govern a country, and that culture needs to be deeper than watching the same movies and consuming the same flow of cheap Chinese products. If you don’t have a common culture, you need real federalism so people can self-segregate into more homogenous cultural groups and efficiently govern themselves.

The U.S. suffers greatly from the demise of federalism and it’s insane that anybody would want to copy it. People in both California and Alabama would be a lot happier if they didn’t have to care about what each other were doing except to coordinate national defense and foreign treaties.

Look at the Scandinavian countries. Look how effectively they have been able to implement major policy reforms because their electorates aren’t divided along dozens of cleavage lines.

Speed is not just useful for syncing files to a computer, which is not the primary use case of iPhone USB-C. The computer is no longer the center of your digital world. The iPhone is (and the cloud). Most iPhone users don't even have a Mac. The use case is to connect the iPhone to other accessories like displays, fetch photos from cameras, etc.

That said, I stand by my comment that most iPhone users would have been better off with Lightning. For many of us who carry Macs as well as phones, having a singular charger is beneficial (less so now that you'd wanna use MagSafe with the Mac, again), but still years of Lightning cables make them easy to find in any iPhone household.

They had already switched iPad Pros long before EU mandate was a thing, so I don't think your would've-not-been theory is substantiated by evidence. If I were to speculate, Apple's evolution would be towards killing the port altogether and do everything wirelessly which is an admirable goal (I'm sure will be downvoted to the oblivion in this community for saying this, but that's also the sentiment of the initial MacBook Air release in 2008 which now defines the modern laptop).

For sending files, Apple has perfected wireless AirDrop and that's quite speedy.

Constructive Competition Simulation vs. Regret
If rather than plurality's {+1, +0, +0, ...} weighted scores without duplication of non-zero values, agents would instead compete for {+1, +0.5, -0.5, 0, 0, ...} allocations, how would the signaling of the agents and scores from the audience shift in response to the change?

Don't make this partisan, treat it as pure math (game theory).

Consider the fact that plurality restricts choices to the situational inputs of blind cooperation or competition, whereas the partial weights can be applied directly to the outcomes of situations which create nash equlibria, thereby selecting win-win rather than risking asymmetry.

Note that every distribution of scores could be enumerated and is thus a "single vote" regardless of format. The "less flexible" allocation (finite non-zero values) compared to Approval/Range maintains constructive partisanship and the nursery effect rather than creating a monolithic purity test over the course of many iterations.

Analysis of any code, simulation output, or visuals encouraged.

> Because what we called the "Soviet Union" was really just another Russian Empire. No one was particularly concerned about the other Soviet "states" except insofar as to worry about what Russia would order them to do.

Wow, that sounds pretty bad. But I seem to remember that when Ukraine unilaterally declared its independence from the Soviet Union, Russia let them go without a fight. That's hardly what you'd expect from an evil empire, is it? Imagine how poorly you'd think of them if instead they had chosen to wage an unconstitutional war, suspended habeus corpus, shut down newspapers and imprisoned dissenters! Imagine the low regard you'd hold them in if they had invaded the "rebel" territories, killing the very people they insisted were their countrymen, burning their homes and property until they surrendered, then unconstitutionally altering the terms of their membership in the empire.

I believe, that the GP comment is too dismissive, but it is true. In 2005 when the dominance of IE started to dissolve it was not the best move to develop for a single browser. Though people still did it.

Today we see a rise of ARM on desktops, developing for x86 excludes Mac users, but the situation moves in a direction when exclusive x86 software will exclude an assortment of users of different OSes who chose to buy ARM desktop/laptop.

But I completely understand the choice made by the author, to use vector extensions on two (or three? RISC-V?) processors would be a much more additional work. The project is FOSS so anyone can jump in and add support for ARM vector extensions. Hopefully it will be easier then to write it from scratch, because you can compare intermediate results bit to bit, and catch mistakes red handed.
I mean, you don't exactly record it on your phone either.

Perhaps what parent means is viable _without relying on ads_.

When Google was announced in the early 1990s the founders said they wanted to provide a search engine for the academnic realm, transparent and free from the influence of advertising. Google's original "business plan" was to license their search engine to corporations. Obviously that did not work. Netscape had a similar plan for its Navigator web browser.

No doubt some of these "AI" companies believe they can license to companies as a viable business. Meanwhile, they may end up like Netscape.

If ads are and always were a viable "business model" then why do these companies try to pursue licensing first.

Perhaps some myopia is created by mesmerising effects of certain selected companies, e.g., Google, that have operated their "ads business" free from meaningful competition or regulation, leading to immense growth and market domination, the later maintained long-term by anticompetitive behaviour.

> If he makes $20,000 that would mean that he gets paid only $0.01 per kW of power. And even if my assumption above about the size of each

As others have mentioned the off peak daytime wholesale rate for electricity is often just a few cents per kWh. Let's say 3-4c/kWh.

The other few cents above your calculated rate of 1c/kWh likely go to pay off the principle and interest on the financing for the system, plus any profit for the company maintaining and servicing the system. If the farm owner paid for the capital costs and maintenance directly themselves, their share of the returns would probably be higher.

But they would probably prefer to focus on farming crops.

I think the 20k number is something of a throw-away, and not really explained.

For example, is that 20k gross revenue (check from utility) or net revenue (after deducting financing costs?) Is he getting free grid power at night as well? Is he using power on the farm itself?

It's a pity the article didn't go down this road a bit, but since it didn't, I guess the 20k number (described as an "estimate") is really just a measure of scale.

Indeed, one gets the impression that the finances part is possibly not the main focus of the farmer (much less the article.) The farming land is being used by non-profits and research groups, he's not actually farming the land himself.

But it sounds like this is just a small part of his farm (4 acres), so perhaps more of a pilot project and finding out how to best use the land, before rolling out on a bigger scale.

Why? Until its recent immigration debacle, Canada was one of the most efficiently governed countries in the world. 15-20 years ago, Canada had lower non-defense government spending per capita than the U.S., despite having a universal healthcare system. Canadian federalism has been incredibly effective, with the majority of all spending happening at the provincial level and meaningful differences between provincial policy reflective of local concerns.
Let's look at the coverage of California's requirement that Type 48 license holders provide drug testing kits to patrons. Because the article/reporter wanted to provide a look into both sides of the issue (those who like the requirementand those who don't) they included this quote:

"While I've heard about drink spiking, I suspect that it's extremely rare, at least here in the Palm Desert area."

If the reporter had been providing all the facts, they would have immediately followed that with the rate of occurrence of drink spiking. If it was "extremely rare", they could have then followed up with a government official's thoughts on why the requirement is necessary even if the drink spiking is "extremely rare".

There was no such information provided, leaving the reader with one man's opinion that is clearly only conjecture but given credibility by being included in the article. In an effort to present both sides, but surely on a deadline that prevented proper research, they left the reader with the idea that drink spiking is rare and that the government is simply overreaching.
