A single person can be diverse relative to a group, though. Like a black woman would add diversity to a group of white men, for instance. When we talk about diversity in recruiting, usually we mean diversity of the candidate relative to the makeup of the company.

Why not?

It’s pretty hard to just sneak up on someone in public. It’s not like your eyes or ears stop working when sitting on a park bench.

But did they really enter into these hedges after the GFC? It seems like rates were already near-zero so it wouldn’t have made much sense to hedge against lowering rates.

Tech startups have taking a beating this year due to market forces. 70% is pretty good compared to some other “covid darlings”

I don’t really see a good way out of this for the UK if pensions are in such a bad state that they can’t tolerate any change in interest rates. The era of free money is over, at least for now. The BoE can’t keep rates at 0 any longer. The government is going to need to borrow money to function (like all governments do). So the only option is going to be to sell bonds on the open market. That’s going to mean that bond prices will fall to the market rate, which is apparently higher than the pensions can tolerate.

API changes are way more common than adding keywords. That’s one difference.

I don't think the GP is saying the government needs to enforce laws on the usage of the blockchain, in general. Rather, one use of the blockchain is to run a centralized investment bank. In such cases, the government should regulate them just as they would any other investment bank, on or off the blockchain.

Of course the government subcontracts the work out to do the actual construction. By the government has no incentive to build livable housing. Government employees don’t live in the housing. The government doesn’t have a business reputation to uphold. As crazy as it might sound, those who live in a community just might have a better understanding of how it should be developed compare to those on the outside.

> If you ask people if they support a constitutional right to free speech, they'll probably say yes. If you ask them if someone should have a right to say some specific disagreeable thing, many people will say no.

Source? I think most people are going to understand that speech you disagree with is part of freedom of speech.

Communist countries did succeed because they controlled demand. Although I don’t think people would like the solution that much, e.g. three families living together in a 3 bedroom apartment, one family per bedroom.

One of the founding principles of this country is “no taxation without representation.” Disregarding the will of the voters seems to run contrary to that.

I don’t think the public can building housing well. Public housing projects aren’t typically seen as desirable places to live.

ts-node isn't an official part of the TypeScript project. It has notoriously bad module support.

Try this:

    // tsconfig.json
    {
      "compilerOptions": {
        "outDir": "dist",
        "module": "es2020",
        "allowJs": true
      },
      "files": ["index.ts"]
    }

    // index.ts
    import('./test.mjs').then(console.log)

    > npx tsc && node ./dist/index.js
    [Module: null prototype] { Foo: [Function: Foo] }

d.ts files allow you to add types to imported JS. You’re free to import raw JS as an any type and the compiler won’t complain.
