It’s not associated with ghettos in the US, either, almost by definition. A mural implies a property owner has usually paid and maintains a piece of art for public consumption. For the mural to survive (no actual graffiti over it) means the

I’d expect an artist to know that a mural is just art applied to a wall. That includes frescos like The Last Supper. Usually artists also don’t police and get so angry about other people’s self expression.

One of carbon fiber’s failure modes involves damage due to repeated stresses. It is also fairly difficult to monitor how it degrades. That the sub survived a handful of dives isn’t indicative of solving the core issues with the material in

Are you an expert on carbon fiber or nondestructive testing and monitoring of carbon fiber? What is your personal experience building submersibles or aircraft?

Undergraduate electrical engineers learn this fact. It’s technical but in the scheme of things not all that obscure. That’s some of the value of a formal education.

Are you sure? Restaurant labor usually works out to a small percentage of the price of the food. Besides that, people could afford pizza back when minimum wage was much higher adjusted for inflation.

I do agree that progression is slow, but I never felt it was grindy. Stuff broke, but my inventory was always full of other stuff so it hardly mattered. I guess if you felt like you needed to complete all the shrines it could feel grindy? T

Because stealing a car isn’t equal to stealing a candy bar. The more money you make the greater the possible size of the evasion.

Yes, crypto is fiat money just like government issued currency. The USD, though, is backed by the US (the government, military, economy, etc.) and generally monetary policy is an advantage of government issued currency. With crypto, usually

They chose to illegally run a business in the US. Brazenly. Any moralizing about people unconnected to the US being subject to US laws is irrelevant.

They aren’t a fund. They’re a bank. The alternative is exactly what GP just told you: a portfolio of bonds with varying maturity dates. Varying maturity dates reduces your risk in the case where you need to sell to get cash immediately beca

So you think the government should step in to add regulation to ban fractional reserve banking, and that that would be more capitalist? Your Mises link doesn’t even mention the term.

I think I mostly like that element of NumPy’s design. 2D arrays are in general not matrices. Images, for example, do not have matrix multiplication semantics.

I don’t see how those are at all in conflict. Not many people are unemployed, so employers are having a hard time filling low paying positions. The first bullet is about supply (labor force) while the second is about demand (employers).

R and Julia’s aren’t good? They’re in the name, so I would have thought support would continue to be strong. I like Julia’s Pluto and the reactive style more than Jupyter anyway.

I agree, probably almost no one truly believes censorship is wrong in the abstract. Similarly, very few people believe in absolute freedom. I’m not sure there are really any belief systems where those two things can be really consistent. Th

If you want to compute sales tax, you’re going to have to define a rounding behavior, too. A decimal type wouldn’t save you from this. The desired rounding behavior will vary by situation. How your calculator handles rounding is itself an i

If an apartment is on fire between yours and the stairwell and that fire extends to the hallway, then you’re dead, right? If there was a second stairwell on the opposite side then you’d still be able to escape. I’m pretty sure sprinklers ha

You said the government paid half the costs with even more for poorer people. When did Rothbard advocate for that?

Why? I don’t understand the angle.

No, GP is referencing the Greek financial collapse and accompanying austerity measures. They made no reference to the tax rate being high, and even if it was, tax evasion to get around that is unsupportable. I also highly doubt it’s an easy

I’m not sure that that’s worse than before. Before GitHub, your fork would probably be just as hard or if not harder to discover. The same issues would exist with credibility, too.

That’s what consulates are. An actual police station is way different.

You really don’t need many cops for monitoring, especially when they won’t investigate or arrest people for crimes. Why spend money on employing them? The police don’t get to decide whether people are guilty or can be convicted in court. Wh

If that’s a waste of their time (setting aside that they don’t get to decide that), what are they doing instead?

Base (system installed) Python is useless for numerical work, though. You at the very least need NumPy and Matplotlib to do much of anything. If you want to do ML or many other tasks you’ll need many other libraries.

Julia has this. It’s called OffsetArrays.jl. Ironically, it’s a common source of bugs because library authors don’t always anticipate them and loop over 1:length(A) rather than eachindex(A).
