> Issues of standards are not really depending on funding
This is clearly not true, otherwise we could just cut all the funding and maintain the standards as they are.

I think the same principle could be applied here. Heated seats that can't be used are causing increased emissions as the car needs to move them around without actually providing any benefit to the owner, and so should be regulated.
It's a nice idea, but the tech really isn't there yet. I guess a few high profile incidents and they'll be forced to fix it.
try {
if bad_thing {
do yeet Error::new(...);
}
carry_on()
}
Weirdly, "yeet" really does convey the sense of "just give up and chuck this thing back instead" that makes it a reasonable nice converse of "try", i.e. "try { yeet }".
It's not stabilized yet, but RFC3086[1] introduces macro metavariable expressions, which make counting trivial!
The example macro becomes:
macro_rules! define_error {
($($err:ident,)*) => {
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub enum Error {
$($err,)*
}
impl Error {
pub fn from_code(code: u32) -> Option<Error> {
match code {
$( ${index()} => Some(Error::$err), )*
_ => None,
}
}
}
};
}

And billionaires do effectively hoard things like rice. That's what the futures market they invest in is all about.
In 2021, internet connections and cellphones are both expensive and mandatory if you want to participate in modern society. Your minimum wage job probably texts you your schedule, so if you don't have a cell phone, you can't even work. Many government forms have been moved online, with legacy options either unavailable or poorly services. Payphones are all but gone. If you're lucky to have a local library then maybe you can get some time on a decrepit computer with slow internet access, but the majority of the poor rely on their cellphone for internet access.
Mistakes can also be career-ending and potentially result in criminal prosecution.
It's way harder to get hired as a doctor than "do a bit of leetcode on a whiteboard".
Yeah, that's an ad. It's even in the sentence.

But if the way you're doing that basically ends up as "everyone is spending all of their wages", then your numerical value degrades to "how much wages do people have?".
The ONS (UK statistics) are quite open about how they do this: https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/arti...
Specifically:
> For example, if the price of tea rose dramatically during one year, consumers might switch their spending towards coffee, making it necessary to adjust the expenditure weights accordingly in the following year.
Or put another way, if fuel goes up astronomically and people buy less of it, they will adjust its weight downwards, limiting the effects of its price increase on the headline inflation.
It's not that statisticians and economists are fooled. The methodology works assuming that people have spare money and can choose to spend or not. But the reality is that things have got so expensive that most people are living paycheck to paycheck and spending everything they have, so their attempts to eradicate the bias of choice ends up just measuring how much money people have to spend (i.e. wage growth).
And if we're being silly, you only really need mov[1].
For example, a reasonable stepping stone would be for people to get their food stamps by default, but then be able to "pay" some of the taxes on any income they earn using those food stamps. This means food stamps are being reduced gradually and at the marginal tax rate, so it's fairer than just falling off a cliff when you hit a threshold.
The problem with means testing is that it effectively raises the marginal rate, often to astronomical percentages. For example, the withdrawal of a $1000 benefit because of an additional $1 that pushes you over a means testing threshold means your marginal tax rate on that dollar is 100,000%. Of course the rational thing to do is to not earn that dollar, or indeed any of the next $1250 that it would take to get you back to where you started (assuming a normal marginal rate of 20%).
So because you can't trust cut to do what you want, you'll probably reach for something like awk '{print $3}' instead.

Many IDEs also do this for other languages (e.g. by running make), and the same problem applies.
In fact, I think the only time I see diagrams with F at the top and 0 at the bottom is in explanations of the stack, or in explanations of how "the stack is so weird it grows the wrong way!".
When describing, e.g., a memory map for a custom ASIC, you would always put the low addresses first and the high addresses later. That's just how numbers work. The "stack grows the wrong way" issue seems to be an invented problem.
Similarly, people say that some countries have freedom of speech, when in reality every country has ways of punishing people for making certain noises out of their mouths - they just differ in which noises and to what degree.
The effect of this dishonesty is there is a hidden social contract on what you are, or are not, allowed to say, and everyone has to negotiate that. The article is about how people are becoming more self-censorious as a consequence of this social contract tightening up.
