Most luggage isn't really secure in the first place. It takes less time to open up a suitcase with a good knife than it does to unzip many suitcases. The idea that a little padlock will protect your suitcase from thieves is laughable. Like physical mail, the system is based on trust, and trying to patch security onto it is difficult.

Anybody else remember when Google started, we all worried that their ad-based business model would make the web suck? Their argument was that people would want to see ads. Well, maybe 1998 ads, but the problem is that ad-serving has perniciously evolved into what we have now. Which sucks.
Can you identify a particular way in which an actual US exchange implements "customer segmentation on their platform" in a way which is tradable? This is not me trolling, this is a sincere question. If that actually exists I want to make a level in a trading simulation where the playing programmer would have to abuse that.
Years ago I though like that. Later I realized people do not care about why. Never fail silently. You failed, log it, tell the user it didn't happen and recover good know state.

For a personal project, I would absolutely go your route. But as a business, the foundation has to hedge against non-availability of the panel, because switching to another panel would go along with additional development costs.
The problem with asking patients to shop based on price is that the penalty for making the wrong choice is much more devastating than with just about any other good or service. I did a ton of research when I bought my car, but even then the price of making a sub-optimal decision was limited to a substandard experience or waste of money. When choosing a surgeon, however, the cost of a wrong decision will be perceived to be much higher—shoddy work there could be life-altering/ending.

Of course, shoddy workmanship on my car could also have devastating results (and safety was a big part of my decision process, especially since my father might not have died in his car accident if he had side curtain airbags), but it's not considered with the same level of urgency.

Also, I'm extremely wary of pricing schemes that disincentivize preventative care and early interventions. Many illnesses are much more treatable—at much lower cost—if they're caught early. While we also need to be careful to avoid unnecessary expense, we don't want to discourage people from seeking care at the early signs of trouble.

That being said, I do agree that transparency in healthcare costs is very much needed. However, we need to be careful in considering how market forces impact personal healthcare decisions.

I think it's more like a parody of general learning, and reminiscent of what the UK's Oxbridge entrance papers used to be like (but aren't so much now) - with the difference that the Oxbridge exams were looking for evidence of curiosity and broad intellectual exposure, and not so much fishing for specifics.

200 words is enough to show you've heard of the topic and produce some superficial content related to it. I suppose you get extra points for being able to write persuasively and with authority. But it's nowhere near enough to demonstrate deep or original insight, never mind creative problem solving - all of which would be far more useful for an effective civil service.

Broad but shallow knowledge doesn't equate to sharpness. Insight equates to sharpness, and I'm not convinced these papers are a good way to select for it.
The whole proposition here is ridiculous. "we must assume any adversary can open any TSA "lock""

The oft-claimed improvement of AA over other methods messes up our views on addiction, as well as the justice system for addicts. Our refusal to use drugs to fight addiction even though the science is quite clear stems from full-abstinence organizations, largely led by AA.

The other aspect that I found with LA compared to almost any other math subject I took was that it was almost entirely mechanical with little to no connection between my understanding of the subject and my grade. The exam questions where mostly along the lines of "find the eigenvector" and "find the determinant" rather than "what's an eigenvector" and "what's a determinant", so I got good grades despite not having any idea how to answer the latter questions, or really having any idea what I was doing. Understanding was neither necessary nor encouraged.

And I certainly don't go attacking straw men before you've even had a chance to answer accusations (as in the rude sarcasm part).

I also note that you have yet to back up your original assertion that the disease model "posits one notion of normal and then divides everything into "normal therefore fine" or "different, therefore broken"', which is hardly surprising, as it doesn't deal with this definition at all.

Probably a minor point, but I'm curious about the use of "fast" in the article. Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that the affected clock would be running ahead, but not necessarily fast?

To me, "fast" sounds as if the second counter in the clock advances at a rate greater than 1 tick per canonical second. In this case, the fast clock would diverge from actual time (whatever point of reference, it doesn't matter) such that the concept of being 17 seconds away from NTP time would be an accurate statement only at a single instant in time.

It seems that the article is not discussing the accuracy of clock counters, so I am ignoring the fact that no clock is perfect for now. It seems like 17 seconds ahead is much more accurate to capture the idea discussed, that the clock in question advances its second counter at the appropriate rate, but the value of that counter is 17 greater than that of NTP time, and will continue to be so until the next leap second.

The upshot of TSA is that because it's a single government organization, it's easy to identify the costs and quality of operations.

I think he is lumping dark pools in with exchanges. Technically there are only 11 registered US equity exchanges and any displayed quote has to be accessible to all market participants under nondiscriminatory terms.

Dark pools OTOH tend to have all sorts of gimmicks with respect to whose orders are allowed to match against other orders and under what circumstances. E.g. if I connect to a bank-run dark pool, I may be able to opt out of matching against principal flow from any of the bank's prop desks. The matching rules should be described in a dark pool's "form ATS" which some dark pools publish (and some don't).

I missed that article; thanks for the pointer. They mentioned several of the examples I had in mind as I was writing about this. In the future I'll just link to that.

As for how many CAs there are, it's certainly true that there are zero barriers to entry. All you need is some open source software and a couple of shell scripts. But in order to be an effective CA, you need all the major browser and OS vendors (at a minimum) to ship your root certificate in a trusted-by-default configuration. Otherwise almost no one is going to have their certificates issued by you. Looking at the list of CAs trusted by Firefox and Apple, to name but two, there aren't really that many. A couple dozen, of which many are governmental entities that don't serve the general public. I'm sure if I looked at Microsoft's and Red Hat's and Google's I would find the intersection dwindling to the same old handful we've been stuck with for years.

If it were really that simple to be an effective CA, there would be thousands of them, including many that might not even charge a fee as long as you're a member of a particular club, or that would be explicit about providing an authentication-only service. But there aren't, and that takes us back to the same problem.
It's an excellent example of the middleman that only extracts money from a system, that adds no value to the system.

They insert themselves into the transactions where they can siphon off very small amounts of money over a very large number of transactions. Nobody benefits but them from what they're doing, no one walks away with something in their hands or brains by their actions.

It's legal, but it isn't right or a good thing.

Slightly self motivated yes. That being said I've spent two years developing applications that could greatly help communities across the world and was having a hard time getting those ventures the proper attention. I theorized that something "less-impactful" would get more attention and in the long run drive attention to more important projects. I've been sharing my google analytics on the facebook page and with friends as a way for all of us to better understand the influence of different platforms. 32% of traffic has come from Facebook which is pretty much free to all startups. I then ran an ad campaign for five days which performed miserably. I will be carefully examining traffic sources and how to cheaply launch my app in the coming month. I don't expect a great deal from tiny tiny trophies I put up a wordpress site in a night and have been watching it in the past week.
Second, you see a tradeoff where there isn't any.

Of course there is a tradeoff. If you ever have the opportunity to make more money/enjoy your job more/invest well but in a way that benefits the outgroup over the ingroup, you are suddenly faced with this tradeoff.

E.g. I want to hire someone but the best guy isn't white.

The only way there isn't a tradeoff is if the best investment always has a white CEO, the best candidate is always the white male, etc. Is this really your belief?

It's like you're saying, "a photon is either a particle or a wave; it can't be both; please make up your mind". Where do I even begin?

Feel free to provide equations, or even just clear and unambiguous statements.

...power is something that is best achieved in a group (e.g. unions)...You will turn down exactly the amount you think you're expected to gain if the cause of white power wins.

You are ignoring the collective action problem here. I can hire the best guy for the job and make money now. Then, in the future, if if white power ever wins, I can reap the rewards of that also.

For much the same reason, I don't vote, and I'd skip paying taxes if it wasn't for the threats of violence.

I'm not ignoring your math, but you're applying kindergarten math to graduate physics.

Since you seem to think the laws of arithmetic don't apply to counting humans, go ahead and do the grad physics - I promise I can follow along.

To me it sounds like you're saying...you're seemingly fine with kicking blacks out...

That's because you ignored what I said in search of an easy straw man.

I repeat my prediction: "more wordplay that ignores the simple arithmetic and uncomfortable question." I add a new prediction: "no equations or unambiguous statements shall be forthcoming."
