It sounds like a bad deal for Europe if for instance Taylor Swift’s works get life + 70 years but Ed Sheeran’s works get 50 years. Nationalism is the main reason current copyright laws are seen as reasonable - no country wants to give their

I don't see how 1971 is significant for any of these graphs. Looks like 1979 is when productivity / compensation really start to diverge. What happened in 1979?

Right, the 5% withdrawal fee only applies when you withdraw, meaning you could still make a profit continuously buying 95%+ markets. The real reasons I think these often don’t follow what you expect is: - Lots of people set sell orders at 9

2018 polls were pretty accurate IIRC. Lots of theories going around about how Trump uniquely screws up polling. Not a ton of evidence, but it is really surprising both 2016 and 2020 were off in the same direction. It could happen due to ran

That's definitely the cause of it, but it doesn't make sense to me. Once you're on S&P 500, how much growth can you realistically do? I don't see why investors don't make Google & Apple pay dividends.

They still have two at large electoral votes, but it’s definitely more proportional.

Biden's speech was just saying that the nomination shouldn't happen during an election. I don't think he ever said it couldn't happen during a lame duck session of the Senate.

I would bet the president could easily pass a polygraph on even some of the most ridiculous claims (thousands and thousands of people cheering after 9/11[1], etc.) You can pass a polygraph test if you believe your own misinformation. [

Nix has `nix build --check` which should do the same thing as `guix challenge`. I think there may be more fine tuned options in challenge though.

It looks like you need to set --enable-threads=posix when building GCC.

Note that this kit is using MinGW. That's not necessarily a bad thing but comes with all of the caveats you can read about. I wish the author mentioned it because it should definitely be a choice you make deliberately.

My understanding is that while pthreads don't work, c++11 threads are supported.

I don’t think this is quite supply and demand. The remote worker is already hired and then they move. The value Facebook gets presumably hasn’t changed but they are now paying a different rate. If this were about starting salaries, you migh

I don’t think those rationalizations would protect you from a lawsuit. In the US, equal pay for equal work based on gender is the law nowadays.

Without the right to vote, I think it would be hard to get much political will for it. Even if we started out giving it to noncitizens, it would be the first thing cut in budget cuts.

The "equitable exchange" of telemetry is you give anonymized usage data for free, and the developers provide you with a better product based on that data. If you trust the developer, it sounds like a reasonable deal to me. No one

The biggest issue IIRC is that Bash doesn't play well with Windows. Things like paths are handled different enough to cause lots of breakage. We could rewrite all of the Bash in Perl or Python, which has better cross-platform support,

How does it deal with wildcard rules? I would bet it gets complicated when you start having chained wildcard rules that have also side effects.

He thinks the enlightenment was a bad idea and wants the world to return to feudalism, taking away the rights of Serfs, Jews, etc. This isn't quite Nazism but is pretty close to the beliefs of far-right groups like the neo-Nazis.

He’s not an epidemiologist. He’s not an engineer. He’s a businessman. And by pissing so many people off, he’s definitely not being a good businessman.

If we kept a common market, and common currency, you would see lots of failed states like we’ve seen with Greece in the EU.
