You're assuming competence. They are simply not giving a flying s**t about many things, break stuff and cause chaos somewhere else (Chesterton's Fence applies), cut funding, and affected agencies now have to deal with it.

Banks commonly deposit gold at other banks or branches in other countries precisely to avoid the sinking ship problem. Paying with gold turns into an accounting transaction or into a visit to the vault.

Gold doesn't derive its value from those applications. It is valuable for the same reason as Bitcoin is: I can't create it out of thin air to screw you over when I settle a transaction.

Debasing the currency has the same effect, as it is equivalent to a flat tax, which hits lower income brackets harder than the wealthy.

Nope, payroll is a significant part of the expenses even of FAANGs. Or at least of the entities that employ people in the US. And they very much benefit from the startup ecosystem as they can just cherry-pick among them, buy up prospective

There is bipartisan support to repeal the change. Meanwhile, further changes to the tax code are being prepared by the administration, very probably containing further such time-delayed footguns that will be the problem of the next admini

Cranking up the taxes will just make life more expensive for everyone. And printing more money is a terrible solution to financial problems.

It would be interesting to break down these figures across age group and income levels. Cities are expensive because people want to move there. They do it because of quality of life or because of work opportunities. In the long run the issu

This assumes that there is only a single country on Earth or that the rich would not be willing to move to a country with lower taxation. Hint: they are already doing that.

by samus 1y ago
That has the same impact as other, similarly radical solutions. In the best case the rich will just remove as much of their property from the country as possible. They might keep a villa or two, some cars, and some pocket money, but the maj

In exchange, the US gets the opportunity to set up military bases or to use their allies's military bases. And once you're there, you're staying and it becomes impossible to evict you*. And your allies have to deal with the c

The loopholes just make it easier to funnel money away from the taxman. It's still possible due to how capitalism works and not fixable unless we go for something equivalent to nationalizing big companies.

Not that many people these days have a house or a flat they own. These things are expensive.

It's certainly better than in Java where LTO is simply not possible due to reflection. The more interesting question is which code effectively gets compiled so you know what has to be audited. That is, without disassembling the binary.

Textiles is one of the first industries that was impacted by the industrial revolution, so it's unsurprising that the product is now as perfect as it can be. On the other hand I wonder how affordable it would be if it was not produced

Pronunciation rules for French might be quite consistent, but there are usually multiple ways to spell a given word. Which one is correct has sometimes changed over time. And in the case of homophones, different spelling variations are the

Same thing, but the iterator is instead hidden inside the language implementation. `foreach` is already a quite general construct, and iterators are the way to extend them. However, I can see the benefit of designing a library to help imple

The point is that in the scenarios you described CO2 increases at the cost of oxygen , which is obviously not good, and that's what GP was referring to as "everything else is fine". It would be interesting to see what happen

You don't get near death experiences just by holding breath, not even close. You might eventually be able to make yourself pass out though, so never ever practice long breath hold under circumstances where a loss of consciousness would

We don't know. They basically look for sequences that approximate NN weights well, in the same way sinusoidal functions work well with "natural" images, but not with graphics with hard edges.

It should be definitely worth it because you can reuse databases of sequence to seed mappings for all future models.

Of course they can, and it makes a lot of sense if they contain configuration settings or things like that. An instance might be held in a static final variable, and that reference can be inlined, but it's data can't unless it&#x2

The excemptions outlined in the JEP still allow people to do pretty much whatever they want as granular as they want. They can even wholesale revert to the old behavior. I really don't see the issue. > And, likewise, if the JVM neve

Final making software less extensive is a red herring. The JEP is about final for fields, not final for classes. Nothing changes regarding the latter. It merely deprecates facilities that enable programmers to ignore the explicitly stated

Nobody requires projects to pollute their codebases with getter and setter boilerplate. People do that to themselves. The OpenJDK project should not enable that nonsense further, but provide support for better programming patterns. Support

Databases have empathically not solved this problem. I have never heard of an DBS with first-class support of migrations; they are usually layered on top using something like Flyway or Liquibase. A query still working after a migration is
