Bailing them out does not mean bailing them out with zero consequences. Regulators have a lot of levers to pull there and should have used that. Splitting them up, taking them over outright, strengthening postal banking, loan forgiveness, b

You wouldn't necessarily need more space, but even if you did US streets are already so wide that you can generally apply road diets to them and still get better trafic flow out of them.

The Pony language has this concept, but I personally found it mostly a pain to use.

The point is that some party insisting that they have some legal contract giving them permission to do something does not mean that contract is legitimate or voluntary. The remainder of the comment illustrates some very obvious examples of

See, it's not an occupation, it's a "perpetual lease". That I happen to enforce with my army. And we didn't steal that land, they kindly gave it to us. When we held a gun up to their heads and made them sign a docum

I would agree with you, were it not for two things: - The fact that neither China nor the US are actually even interested protecting these people from human rights abuses. - The history of US interventions making thing significantly worse,

I think it should have been clear enough from the reply that I think China's actions in Xinjiang are reprehensible? Maybe here's an example you'll like better: It is true that Ukraine has had a serious rise in neonazi activit

I think this is somewhat optimistic about the degree to which the goal is going to be to uncover the actual truth vs painting the worst possible picture they can to justify whatever interventions they have planned.

I wish this was true. European leaders have been speaking a great deal about how much they are going to invest into trains and how they are the future of green transport, but then in reality they are unwilling to do the things that are need

The market has a lot less strong of a grip on society so it is less urgent to simply wish the virus away by reopening everything at a huge human cost.

This is true, but the concurrent work stealing queues and such that are commonly used for such purposes aren't usually textbook C-style linked lists. They (at least in the case of Crossbeam, don't have experience with others) allo

by ATsch 5y ago
In general the primary reason for using doubly linked lists, despite their terrible cache behaviour, is that they are the only data structure that is very easy to write in C. So I'm not sure how much that is going to be an issue in Rus

I feel like, given the negative connotations of "Facebook", that's by design.

That shift already exists plenty, as one can see from the high degree of automation of those warehouses. The only thing that Unions would change there is that they can bargain e.g. for re-training of the workers made redundant.

I'm not entirely sure what this has to do with the topic at hand but statistics show the far majority of minimim wage workers, for many of whom it is not just a short phase, will disagree with you on this.

I think that question pretty much answers itself, especially if one looks at voting demographics by income. The idea of the republican working class party has always been more of a clever rhetorical strategy than a reality. (perhaps, on a m

Indeed this is by design. Cryptocurrencies are deflationary, which means that it is always better to hold your coins than to spend them. They must be deflationary as there is no reason to mine them or buy in early other than the promise of

I'm not sure what you're arguing with here. The need to understand what you're doing is not at odds with designing our tools to make it easy to do the right thing. Quite the opposite, knowing what we are doing helps us write

Did you have to sign a non-compete for that job? Regardless of the exact reason for the impediment, it still remains that due to the restrictions, non-competes are not common enough in the EU to even be in the vocabulary of regular working

by ATsch 5y ago
In practice these restrictions are big enough that non-competes are pretty rare except for key personnel with trade secrets and that the restrictions are reasonably narrow. I don't think I know anyone who has signed one. Of course it&#

They are already effectively outlawed in most of the EU. E.g. in Germany, you must be paid at least 50% of your current salary while the clause is active, for a maximum of two years and "unreasonably broad" clauses are invalid.
