Stop getting your economics reports from political news sources. "They don't count people who've stopped looking" is not a meaningful statement. There are many statistics that report this. Labor force participation rate

I would love to convert from dot files to roughjs images. There are a lot of tools that come close to bridging this gap, but I can't quite find the combination. Maybe someday I'll write the missing pieces.

And the current disastrous result is just as predictable and evil as Iraq. Maybe more-so because we have such a recent example of why it is such a bad idea.

I hear this argument a lot, and I just can't agree with it. The biggest miss was about chemical weapons, which even if true, would have been an entirely inadequate justification for the war that followed. The nuclear argument was never

I think Musk strongly believes that flipping the switch to sacrifice 1 and save 5 in the trolley problem is clearly the correct choice. If the numbers show that less people die with self driving cars than with them, then that is the right c

I think that was one of the great things about Zen. It was an unreliable narrator who had megalomania. At one point, he acknowledges that most of what he is stating is pulled from older greek philosophy that he didn't bother to learn p

Anyone have an idea what happens to home prices as rates rise. Prices going down is a simple answer but with people leveraged to the hilt to buy expensive single family homes, it seems more complicated. Underwater mortgages get complicated

I think describing these as static type systems is a bit limiting. I prefer to think of them as static code analyzers. They don't change anything about the representations in memory, but they do validate invariants about the code. I ac

This was driving across the border for an extended vacation. I'm not going to post every detail, but I had a vague itinerary and I completely understand why we got extra questions. However, I hadn't done anything suspicious at all

The drug related searches were in my search history. The officer told me he was searching for drugs and hate speech.

Canada is very aggressive about searching for "hate speech" at the border. This includes mandating that you turn over your phone and searching through your texts, emails and any linked accounts for keywords. This is personal exper

Yes, but I'm surprised that there isn't some self correction there. My understanding is that one of the primary metrics goole uses is which link you click on last after searching. If the majority of people searching are white and

And RSS feeds. I have a list of people who's opinion I trust after 10+ years of reading everything they write. I value their opinion on politics and economics rather than my aunt or some co-worker from two jobs ago.

These problems also exist with debt and I think similar solutions are also possible. Muslim law banned interest. Jewish custom create Jubilee where debt was forgiven every seven years. America has a fairly forgiving bankruptcy system. I thi

I can forgive the '-b' creating a branch as a convenience. Having checkout perform safe operations by modifying HEAD when you pass a branch but destructive operations on the working tree when you pass a pathspec is too much. I app

I could be able to write the git internals code from memory and it wouldn't help me know what `git checkout` was going to do.

The fundamental problem is when people want software to prevent people from ever messing up instead of simply enabling people to do their jobs better. I heard someone say the other day that they wouldn’t use a simple workflow tool becuase i

I had to upgrade from an iPhone 6 that I liked just fine, because the OS keeps getting slower and slower. I suspect it relates back to the 3d shimmer effects and adding depth to everything, and transition animations. I suspect Ives needs to

I don't think this is true at all. The doctors have to justify their costs and the insurance companies have to validate that they are worth covering. Neither of those seem simple unless the insurance companies simply said, "Whatev

Trump uses this to promote a worldview that facts are whatever you want them to be. As with most things Trump, any kernel of truth is immediately ruined by some even more false, stupid and incompetent idea he wants to promote.

Rape is perhaps a more complicated crime from both the human sexuality side and the prosecution side, but this case doesn't deal with all of those. I think that is why this article in particular is bothering me. For all the "rough

What I was responding to was a claim that the police investigation was not included in the article because news tries to separate it's news from opinion. If the police did not decide to press charges without any reason, then this can b

I don’t believe that a police determination that this case would not be presecuted is a matter of opinion. The facts of why that decision was made is a very important fact that is relevant for me in how I feel about Microsofts actions.

Most of these articles I have read in the past few years always leave me with the same question. Why is there not more focus on the police investigation. Why did they police decide not to press charges? If our police forces are failing to p

The culture of the US has 2 parts that really don't like national IDs. A strong distrust of the federal government and a large number of evangelical christians. The natural distrust means that people generally don't want to give a

The hard basis of USD is printed on the bills. “Good for all depts public and private”. This means that any bills owed to USG is payable in dollars as well as any payment of debt ordered by a court. I agree that the worldwide value is large
