Even those people don't think you should get a life sentence for every crime. If a prisoner gets out of prison they are going to live somewhere, so somebody is going to be their neighbor. Even if they aren't your neighbor they still live in the same city. The only way around that is to make completely segregated cities for ex-prisoners with walls around them, but that's effectively a giant prison with life sentences for everyone.

The most important thing is to engage the rational side of the brain and focus on outcomes instead of the emotional side of the brain and focus on revenge. Recidivism is much lower in humane prisons (something like ~20% vs ~70%).
You can't even download/purchase that software.

After reading it a couple of times I think there is something to the phrasing. The underlying motivation does matter. No one supports the era where an increasing number of women were in the office just because the boss liked having a "pretty young thing" around, even though it helped the numbers.

Likewise there's a very big difference in helping children because we want to maximise their potential and it being the right thing to do, versus helping them because they're effectively holding society hostage by otherwise becoming criminals later in life. You're probably not going to put your best into helping a group you feel holds you hostage and certain solutions, like guaranteed employment in a physically draining but low paying job, might eliminate the threat for society while wasting the potential of the kids involved.

I think "maturing" is the wrong term even if abps acceptable ads program is seen as something good.

(Ad-/content-)"Blocking" is not a flexible term. Maturing sounds to me like adding more granular tools and options. (For example the stuff you can see in ublock origin)

>You are underestimating inertia and unwritten rules. It's widely considered unethical (or at least frowned upon) to join a PhD program and intentionally quit with a Masters.

From the school/department's view, yes; from the perspective of the student I'm not so sure. Over the last few years, many of PhD programs I interacted with (In the biological and chemical sciences) were increasingly mastering out more students than they were passing through comps/quals. It has gotten to the point where students are intentionally failing their comps/quals so that they can master out. Going this route means you didn't have to pay the master's tuition and were on a stipend the entire time -- better than paying the master's tuition and having to scrounge for cash.

Of course, everything is interconnected. But I wanted to point out, which financial, social, business and political trend is following and in the same time behind many developments.

That technology drives changes and also drives capital accumulation increase is something we see for more than 100 years. But in the time between the first and second world war (and short after) we also saw a limiting trend that limited capital power. But since the Reagan / Thatcher areas and somehow now accelerated threw the fall of the so called communist block, dominance of capital over labor power and also over social achievements (look in the sweat-shop countries and look in western countries, that drop social standards to be more "competitive") is rising globally in a rate never seen before.

Never did we have that many possibilities to speculate or to invest, in things that are more and more artificial. One of the reasons of the finance disaster of 2008 where artificial "financial products" that where derived of derivations of real things (housing loans) -- so the investors could not know, what they where investing in. But the possibilities to speculate are growing and growing. Now I read here, that there are people speculating on lawsuits ...

There are so many ways to earn money -- without ever taking up a tool or move a muscle. Just by letting the the computers do the job. But in the end, somebody will have to farm the crops that are used to bake the bread you buy from the speculated money -- or somebody will loose the land, where you build your bungalow on.

It just seems that "capital" has taken over everything: Morals, social standards, individual believes, even religion.
So, one might wonder why these homo-graphs have different code points. After all the French A and the English A share the same code point.

It's really difficult to do the right thing here. If Greek question marks share code point with semi-colon, it obstructs search and replace for question marks.

Subtle differences in how Japanese and Chinese are written has led to differently written characters sharing the same code point. It's nice that you can easily look up most Japanese characters in a Chinese dictionary and see how they are used in China, but it has become frustratingly hard to get subtleties in their written form right. The Chinese version may have the line strike through another line, while the Japanese only has it touching.

I honestly don't know how to go about posting how to same code points have different written forms!

But it seems like it would be nice if code editors warned about text outside ascii. You usually only want that in strings and comments.

One should question whether the patent system has ever worked in the way that it was intended to. There are examples of a dysfunctional patent system from centuries ago.

Just to name a few examples... The often quoted example of steam engines and the patents of James Watt: the power output of steam engines (an objective, quantitative measurement) stagnated during the period Watt's patents were valid. Only after they expired, steam engines started improving.

Another example: the contributions of the Wright brothers to modern aviation. The Wrights filed for a lot of patents but most of their inventions fell into obscurity as aircraft manufacturers opted to use patent-free inventions from the Wrights' competitors, such as De Havilland's rear stabilizer design which is still common in modern aircraft.

I'm not convinced that the patent system has ever worked to genuinely promote innovation and invention. There are numerous examples of how it has done the exact opposite by stagnating a field of science and technology (e.g. video codecs today).

Several high profile inventors such as Thomas Edison have spent the latter days of their lives as businessmen and lawyers protecting their patents and financial interests, not inventing and innovating.

IMHO PHP get's treated fairly. It's possible to write secure and well designed programs in it, it's just very hard. And in fact I'd argue that half of the internet does not work. We life in a world where zerodays are ubiquities.

Not in all cases, but in many, many cases, they are the exact same product (it's more expensive to build a "crippled" product, see Intel's Celeron - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeron).

Especially supermarket generic brands, but also other products.

The article itself says "ingredients, designs and quality may differ substantially among the labels made under the same umbrella. "But often the main difference is marketing -- and price -- and that can be hard to sustain once products are perceived as commodities. "

Also:

"Some consumer-product companies have been forced to make both generic and branded products to please retailers. "If a major manufacturer is unwilling to produce private-label products, there's a possibility the retailer won't sell their branded products" (another thing retailers do is force companies to give free samples or special discounts if they want to keep selling to a major chain).
I don’t think your math is correct. If he gave away 1% to Twitter employees, then he has 2% left, or 380MM. In order for these stocks to be worth 570MM, their price has to increase by 50%, which means that their market cap increases from 19B to 29B.

There's a tax bootcamp in a strip mall I drive by on the way to work. It's a nine week program for people that want to be tax preparers. Same story as developers. Fast path to a better paying job.

What is changing right now is that demand for skilled people is outstripping the education system's ability to produce them. So you see the emergence of schools and eventually employer driven training programs. This has been coming for a long time, and it is actually a good thing. It's actually an opportunity.

Globalization because of technology before first world war was actually increasing and was only stopped by the two wars.

So what you saw was globalization briefly held back and technology innovation going into the war. When that stopped technology started to be used for civilian innovation again and globalization started increasing again now with the help of the computer and later internet.

The villain isn't capital or capitalism they are just pawns in the larger game where technology is the primary factor to look for.

As I mentioned somewhere else. Technology is seen as an externality in economic theory. It's the dark horse that everyone is talking about the wrong way IMO.

I agree with your general sentiment, but I'm not sure you're right on this point... Increasingly, the largest shareholders are becoming mutual funds, in which the largest shareholders are pension funds. So essentially, the corporations are becoming more and more owned (although not controlled by) the public.

Berlin is a special case because there are a lot of places that require protection such as government buildings, embassies and synagogues. There is also a protest somewhere in Berlin on almost any given day. On top of that there is the criminal activity, drugs mostly, which means that the police raid places like Görlitzer Park pretty much daily.

In the rest of Germany there are cities you can easily spend months in without encountering a police officer.
If a university has both, the BA usually requires a language and the BS requires more computer science courses or requires science courses like physics or chemistry. Otherwise, it depends on what university you go to whether you degree is a BS or a BA. e.g. If CS is in the engineering college, it is a BS.

I will say I have helped ta at General Assembly after I finished, and there is a reason you don't see those stats, they don't have them. My individual campus has them now, and the outcomes people kind of had their own list, but there is no one major list in GA for that info.

Also you will hear wildly different GA experiences because every campus tackles the curriculum differently. Mine went JS prework, first 3 weeks of HTML/CSS/JS, next 3 Ruby/Rails, next 3 full MEAN stack, next 3 either random lessons about things like web sockets, comp sci topics, or any other thing the instructors found important. I talked to a LA grad though, and it was completely different. They had Ruby prework, and then day one started learning about Angular.

It's really all about the campus. If you want to go to GA, find out about that campus, not GA in general.

> It's really difficult to do the right thing here. If Greek question marks share code point with semi-colon, it obstructs search and replace for question marks.

Context is the key here. Greek text doesn't use the semicolon for other purposes and searching/replacing such single characters in source code is a terrible idea anyway (think comments, string literals...). So what is the prohibitive failure scenario here?

Indistinguishable (for humans) characters with different code points were a stupid idea, it's fine to abuse it in order to point out that fact.

>Nobody has ever explained to me, in a satisfying way, what's wrong with a helicopter drop.

The main effect would be a a transfer of wealth from debtors to the indebted, a hit of inflation and an economic stimulus effect.

The economic multiplier would not be as high as something like SNAP (which is about 2.5-3.5x I think), since the middle classes and rich recipients would just squirrel away what they got. Or use it to pay down debts. It would have a higher economic multiplier than pretty much any money that's been funneled into bailouts though.

Whether all this is "good" depends on your perspective.

Practically speaking, though, any potential helicopter drop is going to be so small it will have virtually no effect. At the same time, it'll be demonized every step of the way by the people who would hate the precedent it would set (i.e. anybody who is owed money).

I think whatever your desired effect is there's probably a better tool to achieve it than a helicopter drop. It's a fairly blunt tool.

I drive a 25 year old car that perfectly fits your description, but that's just because I like the way it handles, how it looks, and because it has a little more personality to it than all the dime-a-dozen cars you see on every corner of the street.

What I don't understand is how you can rationalize your preferences by thinking these old cars are safer because they don't have any software-defined points of failure. The chances of dying in a car accident because of driver error (by yourself, or by someone else) or mechanical failure (because of worn-out parts) are infinitely higher than by some kind of electronic failure. And if you end up in crash, your chance of survival will be much higher in a modern car, because of all the safety measures that have been added over the years. So IMO it doesn't make sense to stick with the things you've mentioned if safety is your primary concern.
How is it that the USPTO and can issue a faulty government decision, and yet receive no repercussion? If a building inspector fails in his job and a bridge kills a bunch of people, surely it not just the construction contractors that will be blamed but also the government?

Maybe the patent office would do a better job if overturned patents gave ground for suing the government over granting the patent in the first place.

Ruby now allows (some) Unicode glyphs as names (allowing for things like Δv).

08:11:32 >> Δv = 3
=> 3
08:11:39 >> p Δv

=> 3

My solution when I have problems like this is to start building a negative regexp in vim:

/[^-a-zA-Z0-9 \[\]]

I then add other symbols as I find them. I can usually find the illegal characters in about 30 seconds this way—and I can add the non-ASCII glyphs that I expect to be present to my regexp.
