We don't assume perfect information, or rather - it exists already in an unsanctioned form for those that seek it (usually those to whom price is sensitive).

Until this we assume marginality holds true and price dispersion has a benefit in society that we unwittingly enable.

In the above model prices converge on a mean, reducing the potential savings for those that price really matters (the poor are the ones most likely to check existing price discovery sites), thus it's regressive - the government are either seeing it as an opportunity to marginally increase tax rake, or more likely are oblivious to the externality of the poor bearing the burden.

More unnecessary meddling, this causes price convergence so anyone living close to a typically lower cost source of fuel is going to have an almost imperceptible increase in relative cost.

They certainly love spending taxpayer money on nothing don't they.

I could debate the severity or significance of some of the above, but even at face value these things are in no way comparable to the authoritarian bent of Labour and its policies, thus my point remains.

No alternative is as remotely authoritarian.

All of the alternative parties are considerably less authoritarian than Labour who has always flirted with it.

That said I can't imagine any government willingly giving up the power grabbed by Labour.

Neither Thatcher nor Reagan are far right, they are Neoliberal and therefore centre-right.

not particularly, ID cards effectively cost Blair/Brown their majority.

Economically obsolete, not obsolete, I suspect this is in line with standard depreciation.

the Wright brothers sold me a subscription to a supersonic jet and I've got a bundle of matchsticks and some canvas.

Moreso when Russia and friends are putting their finger on the scale.

After all it certainly doesn't make economic sense.

Believe it or not, when a crime has been committed these providers universally defer to the police whose remit is enforcement, a role they seem reluctant to undertake, I'm unconvinced this is anything other than a convenient revenue stream, an opportunity to steer public opinion, and a means of quashing dissent.

Frankly, a few dick pics here and there seems wildly low-stakes for such expensive draconian authoritarianism.

to make the censorship more palatable to the general public.

>too many people leave morality at the door

Yep, that's life, if something bothers you and it's already a crime then report it.

There is precious little in life that can be undertaken without some risk of something unwanted however small (hah).

is it that surprising? they're a hardware company after all.

as amazing as these are, they do still look a little fecal.

There is a product I have to use that updated its ui design some years ago, only the functionality is partially implemented and the new design has some functional elements that weren't present in the old configuration.

This has been solved with a button that switches the layout between the two designs, when I'm making changes it is sometimes necessary to flip back and forth between the two mid-change.

>that her mother is irritated

no, only that she sounds irritated, we have to assume there was information we were not party to that the girl was.

>prosy

prosaic.

Good question, this happened in London for sure, congestion charging increased the net pollution from vehicles but reduced the metrics inside the city, probably not much either way.

They can also have their own significant externalities and introduce perverse incentives (in this case...) for revenue-seeking infrastructure governance.

Regular driving in large working cities is usually only done out of professional necesscity and people who drive for a living tend to be in lower socioeconomic bands.

How many people on Wallstreet do you know that drive to work?

Pigouvian*, this is a regressive tax though that is probably unnecessary as the other studies referenced or linked in this thread show.

>Who are losers here?

Evidently you did not read the original release or the top comment, but this has nothing to do with carriage return.

>Then why does every other language, text editor and text tool in existence deal with this single extra character?

On Windows, Emacs by default will save your files with linefeed and no carriage return, only when opening the file will it infer crlf, as it should.

But you're right, where possible I try to avoid Windows.

The problem with all of these is they use the same components because only one factory makes them any longer, they're quite bulky, and relatively low quality, for anyone interested in this you're better off getting an old used player.

>Every text editor on windows adds a carriage return by default.

Either you should know your tool well enough to turn it off, or tools shouldn't make obscure changes to the output that the user did not specify, either way Zig is absolutely correct in not allowing for either case, I wasn't aware of this but it makes me even more convinced of their principles.

The expurgation of "losers" less so.

My employer does, but only analyses the overage, so when a project comes in under estimate they think it's because it went smoothly, the reality is actually that estimates only ever tell you how good you are at estimating.

Rust lets you be a bad programmer and that is unforgivable, using Zig will make you a better person.

>it "just requires" you to flawlessly uphold memory access invariants manually across all possible concurrent states of your program.

The difference is it doesn't prevent you so it doesn't "just require"

if you already have a carbed zed then why not! the block is bulletproof I bet it takes the turbo like a champ.

oh politicians! Yeah fine I agree, but rest assured no member of the public labours under such delusion.

Things are bad, send help.
