" 'I might delete Facebook today.', 'I’ll go back to my Razr phone.', 'Maybe I’ll try homesteading.' But to do any of these means becoming a ghost to your community."

As someone who has deleted Facebook and moved to our own small homestead, this is totally untrue. On the contrary, I live in a much more vibrant community now, as I barter with the neighbors, trading our eggs, dairy, and honey, for whatever they have/do. I know almost every single person who lives near me. We hire their kids to help in the summers. A few women hang out at our place every Tuesday and knit. We have friends come crash with us for weeks or months at a time, exchanging room and board for helping around the homestead. And I work from home, ironically making more money than I did when working in an office. (Although I actually save less because I keep building chicken coops and solar arrays, etc.).

In any case, I feel far more connected to my local community now than I ever did before we started this lifestyle.
We can only hope. I'm a big fan of punishing people who abuse the system in that way, but I prefer taking their gains and redistributing it to the people they took from rather than putting them in jail. I'd much rather have them scraping by trying to make ends meet at a transient hotel than living in jail cell at tax payer expense.
I too can add another testimony to just how mad KIT Digital and ROO both were. But goodness me it gave me some stories for the diary. The C level was nuts, but everyone else, goodness they were good, hardworking people.
The author seems to think this wealth accumulation dynamic is somehow unique to free market capitalism, produced by a capitalist culture that explicitly values money, economic efficiency, and wealth accumulation.

It's not. Every culture and economic system that has ever been put into practice in all of human history has produced the exact same wealth accumulation dynamic.

The main difference is that in the systems other than free-market capitalism, significant wealth accumulation is not merely "difficult" for ordinary people, but actually "impossible" if you're not a member of the tiny ruling circle.

At least under free market capitalism, as an ordinary person you do have a shot, however unlikely it may be.
Ile-de-France: la baisse des prix est-elle terminée?
Are we going to pretend that the US is the only country that ever forces companies to hand over data or tries to acquire that data through more nefarious means? If you are worried about this sort of thing, it seems strange to put your full trust in another provider regardless of whether they are based in the US, Germany, or any other country. Aren't you better off just keeping the data away from the provider in the first place (either through encryption or simply using your own software/hardware).
The unspoken part of this: very little of it works on iOS. It's a huge shame. But I love seeing people use this stuff - the only way to get Apple to adopt it is going to use it and show iOS users that their platform is holding them back.
>You have made a definition of morality that philosophers and other people will all agree on?

No, I have one that works. I really don't care what any philosophers have to say about it. And if you think everyone has to agree to something before it can be useful, then I can see why you'd think this is a social problem.

>Where do you get this "finite number of consistent models" from?

There's a finite number of people, a finite number of configurations their brains have been in, and thus a finite number of models provided by those configurations.

What independent indicators would there be if the majority of national polls had margins of error so far underestimated as to be meaningless? Particularly this far into the future from an election which would provide some assessment of accuracy. Or, put a different way, what published assurances exist that a particular poll has resulted from a properly random sampling of the voting populace? (often: the cell-phone screening problem) At the very least there's a bias to judging a poll as having some accuracy because of the "weather prediction paradox", which is: I say I can predict the weather 23 days from now with perfect accuracy because I can change and refine my prediction as that day approaches and say I was 100% correct in my prediction 22 days ago given my data then as now conditions (or voters' minds) have changed.

Nit: you call _mm_aesenc_si128() once per call to next(), right? I don't see how that constitutes "1/4th of an AES round per output word". (You do output 1/4th of an AES block.)

You are, of course, right about the actual point you're making. And calling _mm_aesenc_si128() once per 4 calls to next() may well suffice to pass a statistical test. Then again, even an LSFR passes most statistical tests...

As long as [Your name] results in your website on Google - the average user doesn't care if it ends in .ninja, .pizza, .io, or .com because they are never entering that information. They type in some amount of "Google" and search [Your Company Name] into Google. That's the average user.

Users who are advanced enough to even understand URL's will likely remember [X site is .org and Y site is .tokyo] or they'll bookmark the site if they find themselves forgetting often.

Even as a highly technically proficient user - I find myself using a keyword to search google for a domain name of a company if I am interested in finding their website.
In general, you want to search for the German Question [1]. Germans have been populating central/eastern european territories for a long time, both as colonists (think Katherina/Kasachstan/Siebenbuergen-Rumania) and as remainders of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation.

The French Revolution [2] and the coming of the Spring of Nations [3] brought the question back on the table. Throughout this period, but especially around 1848, it was heavily debated among Germans.

Europe, dispite its small size, has a very exiting and thrilling history. A pity what happened to it in the last century. Mais c'est la vie, so to say.

But back to Austria - of course many an Austrian loved to be unified into the new German Empire, a technologically moderns society, the Third Reich, that was prophesized to last for a thousand years. After the scars of defeat of WWI, and Entente dictation, people looked for a savior.

He came in the form of a failed Austrian artist. History has its ironies..

> "are not 'loopholes' they are standard tax regs for providing companies with access to the EU single market."

Focusing on the legal technicalities of what constitutes tax evasion/avoidance is kind of missing the point. The rule should be that you pay tax in the country that you earned the money, based on the tax laws of that country. Any games that involve laundering earnings through foreign subsidiaries in order to avoid paying tax that would be owed based on the tax laws of the place where profits were made is tax avoidance. I do not care whether laws have been put in place to encourage tax avoidance, that does not excuse the behavior.
Bonus points: "Jamming" is not used in the law.

So, the use case for Heroku is straightforward: you have a webapp that you need to get online. You signup, do a 'git push heroku master' and your application is online.

Say instead that you are Yelp, you have a couple hundred developers all of whom are clamouring for the same ease of deployment that they can get with Heroku but that's not appropriate for a whole bunch of reasons (lots of internal apps for accounting or credit stuff, a custom HR app, who knows) and at Yelp's scale it is cost effective to start having devops/sysadmin type people on staff instead of just rolling that into your Heroku costs.

So the answer is that you use something like this deployed to your own hardware in house, or you use Deis or Convox or some other Docker solution to deploy to AWS or a bunch of Virtual Private Servers or something. This gives you a good management and deploy experience at a fraction of the cost (not counting that you have to buy your own hardware and also pay a competent Devops person $100k+ a year).

This is an interesting story, but I have to wonder if the writer did their research. This caption really stuck out at me:

> A mobile hot spot can be transported in a carrier the size of a briefcase.

I mean, this is technically true, but it's pretty crazily misleading about the size. The picture itself shows some massively bulky thing. It also shows what appears to be an ethernet switch with one cable plugged into it, which is about 25ft long, coiled up, and has the other end just dangling free. And it shows a power brick large enough to use as an actual brick.

IMHO patents were to allow for providing solutions to problems that had expensive research and development costs, in order to provide for a more open nature. IE, not loosing the ability to make concrete for a millennia.

In terms of ideas implemented in software alone, it's trivial and the vast majority of ideas can be easily implemented by anyone working on the platform, thus not deserving protection. Anything obvious and trivial is not deserving of patent protection imho.
We want Kickstarter to be similarly in sync with society. Earlier this year we became a Public Benefit Corporation.

If you're fine with a cryptographic RNG, then definitely. I'd even agree that cryptographic RNGs should be default. Rust made the right choice here.

But look at C++'s new RNG library. Go's random library. People don't want to give up the lightweight, fast defaults they have. Even Rust's canonical random library has an XorShiftRng. These are what PCG is competing with, and replacing all those weak RNGs with PGC RNGs would make them all much better.
You're right - it's less about obfuscation, and more about figuring out the strange incentive structure behind many bank's decisions to open a ton of branches in hot real estate markets.

I'm not sure how bank investments in real estate work, but as long as a branch is bringing in a steady flow of deposits it would be much more attractive than a standard real estate investment.

Those deposits bolster the bank's reserve requirement [1] and the banks then earn interest (0.25%) on these reserves as of 2008.[2]

In a world of zero and negative interest rates on short-term, safe debt, [3] I would imagine deposits would be an attractive revenue stream for a commercial bank with guaranteed upside and little downside, and that the major cost of leasing/buying the real estate to set up a branch would be negligible, especially if the land was increasing in value.

So branches will be shut down when the land starts decreasing in value, or when the flow of deposits into the banks slows down due to a lower propensity to save (not likely in a recession), or due to people earning less disposable income in the first place (more likely in a recession + stagnant wage growth). Both are very bad signs for the economy.

It's not very fair to say "I'll only believe that an esoteric motivation exists if the party motivated by it explicitly states that publicly."

(By esoteric motivation, I mean either an "underlying" motivation or an "epiphenomenon" that feeds back onto itself.)

It is not necessary to acknowledge or even to know that you are behaving as part of some esoteric motivation, for it to be either a true or at least useful model. For example, think of "selfish gene" type explanation of reproductive / behavioral biology. That is a useful model for thinking about behavior even if the parties themselves talk about courtly love, religious morality, etc.

Particularly in the case of a highly developed financial economy, there are lots of decisions that have effects, which effects tend to reinforce making those decisions, without anyone explicitly talking about those effects.

For example, the political decision to create and maintain the tax-deferral advantages of e.g. 401k accounts, is bipartisan and widely touted as helping to advance the cause of retirement security and broad prosperity. However, in a very real way, it's also about shunting vast quantities of "dumb money" into a relatively high-fee intermediary industry of 401k administration, mutual fund management, and etc. In turn, those intermediaries employ vast numbers of well paid personnel, as well as enjoy concentrated financial returns to their ownership -- and the owners and workers of the intermediaries lend massive poltiical support to perpetuating and extending those types of program (see e.g. the successive creation of more and more favored account types: Roth IRAs, 529s, Coverdell ESAs,
HSAs, FSAs, etc. etc.). This means that Congress is compelling the nation at large to turn over a higher % of GDP to financial intermediaries.

It would be disingenuous to claim to disbelieve this unless a Senator stood up and said his goal is to "turn over a higher % of GDP to financial intermediaries." That is certainly not his exoteric goal and probably not even something that he thinks about. But it is a very real consequence, and the feedback loop from the beneficiaries (lobbying, jobs, contributions) most certainly influences him and makes it "about" that.

The study found an increase of "0.9%", yet doesn't give a margin of error (and the journal article is paywalled[0] for $40), and that sounds like a really small increase, so small that for all we know, the actual (as opposed to measured) delta was zero or negative.

How can this be useful for public policy debates if the full text is not publicly available? And how can we find errors in publicized studies if we can't even read them?

No need to get something that fancy for short-range use in a conference booth. I have a $40 T-Mobile Wifi hotspot that I activate for $10/GB when I need it.

It came in handy at a conference where the provider's network went down and we could still process credit card orders over the cheap hotspot. Though I imagine that if everyone used them, the cellular networks would not keep up with the demand.
Of course not. But it's entirely fair to tell them they can't sell their goods in our country if they're unwilling to play by our rules. They had the same option when we were "cheating".

Again, 635 out of 1191 started out rich (either for the whole sum, or a portion of it). That's 53% of them.

But even if 1190 of them had gone "rich from zero" and only 1 had inherited his wealth, it wouldn't be that comforting by itself.

What you generally want in a society is: lots of poor people to be able to get out of poverty (into middle class), middle class to have a decent chance to become upper middle class, etc -- and of course most middle class to be stable and not fall into poverty.

That is, things that affect the majority of the population.

A society with a middle class that shrinks and worse prospects for 99% of kids compared to their parents is not absolved if it has 1000 billionaires emerge out of poverty (or middle class). A society with just 10 billionaires but far better social mobility (e.g. like in the 50's) would be much better to live in.

That's just relevant as an opportunity to a mere .0002857% of the population.
