And weirdly, I can't seem to find any actual laws naming them. There are laws about mercury waste such that I bet it's not practical to make and sell them, but I don't see any actual bans (except maybe in europe where they have the rohs standards)
Note that the WSJ seems to entirely ignore local tax revenue. Any reasonable analysis of a state budget would automatically include both state and local finances since they are so intimately intertwined. Hence the WSJ claim of how dependent california is on high-value income tax: they can make that claim because they ignore other taxes
The voice over is a word salad of someone trying to sound smart, but who is actually jumping from one partly explained concept to the next. The video simply ended abruptly without any kind of wrap up.
End result: vague doom-and-gloom about how there will be some kind of financial panic? The most recent video on the channel, BTW, didn't actually use the phrase fiat currency.
The person even said that the hardest part is content, not writing. But how much of the content there about how to pick an editor, or a CI pipeline?
It's kind of like, "I want to program a game, and here's how I built a specialized language to make it".

And I could prove that they had! The key was that we could find vestiges of the A code in the B code in a way that wasn't just person P's own personal style. for example, software A would set a logging variable as it did some processing, and under specific conditions would actually write to a log file. Software B also had the logging variable, and set in the exact same way even though the underlying code was different and it was never written out. And there were date-stamped comments in software A, and the same comments were present in software B, even though software B was written long after software A.
Math says that 200K * 10 is 2 million. A google search says that the death count in America is creeping up on 1 million.
And now we have the vaccine and have 60+ percent of the people in America immunized.
Sounds like the original estimate isn't grossly far off.
Worse, when you disburse money from an estate, you also need the beneficiaries to acknowledge the disbursements. This is easy when the beneficiaries are family or when the amount is large. But the last piddly disbursements? Many charities won't bother to acknowledge the last small amounts.
But when you give a fixed amount to a charity, all these problems go away. If a charity is to get $50K, then once you send them a check, they have no more "dog" in the fight. And they will happily sign the needed documents for the large hunk of money.

There's a bunch of stuff about how it's a geo magnetic anomaly (which is probably is), but with a high dash of woo-woo. The narrator is astounded that research from the 1960's is hard to find (the 'eye of the Saraha' is a geomagnetic anomaly and was investigated). The narrator is unwilling to consider alternative hypotheses -- for example, they are astonished that the Eye of the Saraha was part of a globe-spanning expedition for magnetic anomalies without considering that they focused on places along the equator -- aka, on the ground below where many satellites would be.
Considering he says he found Atlantis, he's got remarkably few pictures taken from the ground. Presumably that's because on the ground it's just a bunch of rocks without buildings, potsherds, relics, tombs, or any indication that it was a city.
Nothing in the video is of interest to a hacker.
The part about statistical significance says, "Although there were also fewer COVID-19 cases in villages with cloth masks as compared to control villages, the difference was not statistically significant."
The blog is not technology, not history, and not engineering.
(And no hard drive, either). This means that the PC would boot into BASIC, and you could save/load programs and data to a cassette recorder. It was the absolute minimum configuration and wouldn't have been very useful.
The Unix command line has a lot to recommend it. Notably, the simple ergonomics of the pipeline are indeed great (other OSs have similar pipeline concepts; they just don't get used the same way because they are too clunky).
Maybe we should move to an all-calculator future, and just do everything with decimal numbers. We should stop trying to figure out that 1.41 is really sqrt(2) and there's a simplification, and instead we just plough ahead with typing the 1.41 into our calculator apps.
My high-school kid just finished off a math class. So many examples included a "and now simplify the fraction" step. As a person with an actual math degree, how about no? Real-world mathematics doesn't require simplifying fractions.
For example, I have a great book on sundials which includes tons of formulas for calculation where the sun will be on arbitrary days in arbitrary locations. And half of the exposition is all about when you can ignore part of the equations, or when to convert long constants (1.2345) into shorter ones (1.23).
Either you're only doing the calculations occasionally, in which reading about the approximations takes far more time than the calculation. Or you're doing a bunch, in which case you'll write a little program (or Excel function), and the approximations aren't useful.
Reality: there are so-far unheeded calls for future defunding, cities are 100% not torched, the Dr Suess company decided to not republish their own books, the Mrs Potato head accessories are now sold comingled with Mr Potato head ones, and private companies have decided that years of abuse should be punished.
Monuments to slave-owners have been vandalized, but IMHO that's a good thing.
This doesn't seem to be a teacher who can step outside of their own skin and see the world from other perspectives.
Looking at the company website, I notice that for all his claims to look for excellence in a color-blind way, the only Black people in the video are poor kids who are presumably being saved. So, not really diverse.
In the same way, lots of towns will staff an information booth, and run some public toilets, and create tourist web sites.
It doesn't help that every UML diagram I've ever seen is ugly. There are always way too many jagged lines, and seemingly random attachment points. (Example: https://tallyfy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Class-Diagram...). In the little triangle, one line goes straight down, and one goes to the side. Is going to the side special? Or just a random artifact of the diagram? Without being an expert, it's hard to know.
With written-language descriptions, it's easier to be rigorous enough for all programmers.
And in the terms of service: they are prohibited from suing any of us for misusing the site; everything has to go through an unnamed arbitrator. And not only that, they aren't allowed to discuss the results of any arbitration.

Probably the -C should be lower case?
Racism is like that. White-on-black racism is the absolute leader in terms of causing real human misery in America.
When your boss tells you to fix the code that's causing 80% of your program crashes, do you complain that there's other code crashing, too? Or do you act like a real engineer, and fix the big issues first?
The article manages to entirely fail to note that all capable people who went against Trump eventually got fired. Trump even wanted Pence to be killed for simply opening envelopes and counting the results.
