I feel like you didn't read and try to understand my last comment. You're certainly not pointing out any flaws in its logic.

You could believe that the Senate is a fine implementation of it's goals (to protect inhabitants of smaller states from the tyranny of the majority, or whatever) while also believing that the electoral college is a failure that just ad

Are you able to provide any more detail about what the simulation had to do, and how OOP helped?

They're different things. The senate gives equal representation to each state. The electoral college gives each state a degree of representation approximately proportional to its population, but the approximation is somewhat poor.

I have no sense about network infrastructure or what it costs but, FWIW, I would much rather have 100Mbps for something like $10 per month.

The claim in the article is that the deforestation is approaching 20% of the original forest and that, once that number reaches 20-25%, the water cycle will be disrupted in a way that will transform the majority of the remaining forest into

I think this is a false dichotomy. Most people should probably be less engaged than they are with the daily/weekly news and might even do well to ignore it entirely. But that need not have anything to do with how engaged you are with

Technically the oil company or steel importer would be paying the taxes, you would just be paying increased prices for consumer goods and electricity. And think about it: if I fly across the country on a private jet, or heat my mansion to 8

That's easy to fix if we can just put a price on carbon, as proposed in HR 763 (mentioned further up in this thread).

I'm not sure this is a great example. "n’est-ce pas" is literally "is it not so" - to which a reply of "yes" would mean the same in English.

Yes, that's right. The growth over any finite window, if you partition it into smaller windows, is the sum of the growth within each partition. Draw enough pictures and you'll develop the intuition that, if you keep partitioning
