The answer to your question is simple: indiscriminate antibiotic use is something where the good results are entirely for the person making the choice, while the bad results are spread out across all humanity.

It's essentially a big and complicated version of a simple game: if you press this button, you will get $10, but everybody else on the planet will lose $0.00001. Do you press the button?

The rational choice is to say yes. The benefit to you far outweighs your cost. It even far outweighs the combined costs to all the people you know.

In short, externalities make people choose bad things in a rational way. It has pretty much nothing to do with how society is structured. If you want to change it, then you need to figure out a way to make the costs to the individual outweigh the benefits to the individual.
What's with the insistence on demand for streaming music or video on a plane? Do these people also forgo packing a suitcase and just rebuy everything as needed?

This shipping actually is free to the retailer. The costs are paid by the Chinese government, and the US postal service.

The US postal service gets no money at all to deliver a package from China, and the Chinese government has free postage to the US for certain small packages.

Just because they have individual tracking numbers certainty doesn't mean they don't come over in a container together. For a domestic example, check into UPS Mail Innovations (FedEx has a similar service).

Regardless, epacket appears to be a subsidy-like system setup by USPS (yet another reason they are losing money), and masks the true shipping cost.

As I understood the article, the law merely discusses ownership rights of what gets brought back. If company X does action Y and recovers item Z back to Earth, then the question of whether X's ownership of Z is acknowledged under US law seems to be just the sort of thing Congress would be able to decide.
Actually, you do see a lot of questions and problems with the single state atom. In fact, I'd argue it's inherently a side step towards a future that has the best of both worlds: encapsulated state within components, but backed by some global state store invisibly.

This is exactly what Relay is by the way. You component asks for state, and gets it from a server. The fact that it comes through props is actually just a downgrade because it means you must now treat it as some special thing, and not variables.

In the ideal world, we can write simple components that fetch state from wherever (remote, local, global). They store that state into themselves, and it "just works". They can write back that state just like how they write variables. And all of this "local" state would really be backed into a global state store invisibly.

Local state - Pros: easy to reason about, easy to use. Cons: trapped in one place, inflexible.

Global state - Pros: can be backed in various ways, easier to share. Cons: Hard to use, harder to reason about.

Local state backed to global store - Has all the pros and none of the cons. Unfortunately doesn't exist yet today.

> I think it's the opposite: any org (private or public) should be required to pre-fund infinite years of benefits.

This position is not unreasonable. OTOH, it is unreasonable to require the USPS to prefund benefits that neither private businesses nor government agencies are required to prefund, specifically to make its finances look bad when compared with other entities.

Largely the justification for owners of equity get rewarded for taking a risk, and the employees get wages less than the full value of their output because they take no risk. If they are taking no risk, then any pension plan should also be risk free, not a hidden tie-in to the risk used to justify their pay.
Losing resistance is theoretical - bacteria have resistances to things that have been extinct for millennia. Knowing that, once there is resistance to an antibiotic, its no longer useful to restrict its use. The horse has left the barn; locking the door won't help.

Yet folks continue to harp on 'restrict antibiotic use'. What have I overlooked?

EU spooks outsource domestic spying to NSA/five eyes systems. See recent Swedish XKEYSCORE news etc.
Doesnt look like it. Likely part of the reasoning is that the 6580 has a full router built in and the 6141 is just a cable modem. I believe they both run different firmwares as well. Also, that 600k number would be in the millions if it effected the 6141- Its standard issue for many ISP's with the higher bandwidth packages now if you dont buy voip.

Also, the URL http://192.168.100.1/cgi-bin/tech_support_cgi is not present on the 6141's
it almost certainly still has an externally accessible ip at that point for management purposes. (bridge 2 interfaces, add a virtual interface to the bridge)
Metadata analysis and pattern recognition of publicly available data is one.

Better data organization tools are another (a family member is studying forensic science and has done internships with large-ish police departments that still largely use printed and hand-written documents to manage cases)

But that's my point. I haven't done much thinking on this either, so I can't see around the corners of time to see what it could be. But just more yelling back and forth about encryption isn't accomplishing much.

Maybe it's not a bits and bytes technical problem, but it's technical according to the definition of the adjective, "of or relating to a particular subject, art, or craft, or its techniques." If the Paris police had the information, but were unable to properly analyze it, that's completely a technical problem.
> Your SSH private key is not your identity

Absolutely. It's my credential. In a perfect system, we decouple those from identities - but that's hard. If you have some ideas about this or know a system that handles this - please share a link.

In a less than perfect system, we at least have to try to assure that credentials are self-sufficient and don't require a third party to just exist. That leaves us with either keypairs or pre-shared secrets (traditional passwords). Maybe something else but I don't know.

> In a sane world, it needs to be possible for someone with common sense to revoke and reissue your credential if you lose it

Well, yes. However, there is just no advancement at the moment - proposed general approach is just not better or worse in this regard. It's the same as if you've lost your password and email in a most traditional identity system out there. If you lose all credentials - your identity's lost and you can only talk to each consumer individually and negotiate whenever a recovery's (to a new identity) possible. This doesn't change.

However, in theory, you can set up a system in which your friends or someone you trust may help you to recover or revoke your key. I'm no crypto expert, but I heard we have fancy things like threshold signatures and secret sharing schemes (where k-out-of-n members quorum is necessary to recover a secret or generate a valid signature), so I believe there are some options for the future how we can improve things - in a ways more flexible and secure than things are now.
Commercial bulk mail arguably makes the post office some money, but the huge non-profit discount is simply lost money.

However, even for Commercial it's tricky to work out the actual costs as they are overhead heavy and they can't charge different prices per region. So, on it's own it's a money loser.
Feedback on the documentation:

It's not immediately obvious to me how Geode is different from Redis. When would I want to use Geode over Redis, and vice versa?
I think very few people are undecided about these things. These are "gut feeling" judgments. What is the appropriate trade-off between security and freedom? What is an acceptable amount of immigration and how much should we require people to integrate? Nobody sits there and does a cost-benefit utilitarian analysis of those questions, if one was even possible. They start with broad principles (e.g. surveillance is per se bad) and interpret facts to fit into their preconceptions.

Reflex is great (and its author is a genius) but it's not really useful yet for non-desktop apps. Because Reflex + GHCJS is impossibly slow on mobile.

As an experiment, try using chrome (iOS) or android to load this:

obsidian.systems/reflex-nyhug/

or this:

https://obsidian.systems/

They're both reflex apps.

GHCJS is bees-knees. But unfortunately, minimizing-code-size/mobile-performance has not been a priority. (It's understandable, as Luite can't do everything himself.) (Aside: the best solution I've seen -- in terms of generated code size -- in GHCJS-land right now is: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/react-flux. Anecdotal, though. YMMV.)

I can't wait for GHCJS to be ready for prime time. I wish all these alt-JS-haskellish language authors (of Purescript, Elm, Roy, etc.) would just work on making GHCJS better.

It's a bummer that Clojure and Scala are much newer than Haskell and yet they both have a mature, production-ready JS compiler. The statically typed ML-family is too small for multiple JS compilers. The entire community needs to pick one and let the others die. Otherwise, we end up with several half-baked solutions and not a single industrial-strength one.

Scamming someone who's going to something illegal right?

http://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/legal-advice/criminal-d...

At the very least, it's fraud:

Taking money from someone under intentionally false pretenses is fraud. (18 USC § 1001.) Under the law, an intentionally and materially false statement relied upon by another constitutes fraud.

Intentionally meaning you did so under the condition you knew the weapons were fake and not real. Materially meaning the mis-representation of the guns as real was material to the transaction.

>I don't think this logic stands up. Does the presence of widespread illegal activity automatically imply that said illegal activity has the moral high ground?

No. This only applies when it is an legal outcome which has a legal means to achieve, but which large numbers are going with the illegal means. And it isn't about a moral high ground, because morals are tricky business and can differ extremely based on what moral system you choose to use. Instead, it is pointing out that the official system is broken (at least in regards to the issue) when so many decide to work around it.

I think the truth of the matter isn't one of the system being broken, but of a harder to publicly state mention that the official system is keeping out the people that are not wanted. But it means dropping the 'everyone can get in legally' shield.

order to prefund 50 years of estimated costs.

How many retirees do you know that live fifty years in retirement? If the Post office were liquidated, the retirees would be dead two decades before the mandated fund would run out.

In the last 200 years, we were mostly lucky. Humanity runs like compulsive spender who keeps finding credit cards in his house. We've almost maxed out the ones labeled "wood" and "coal" and "oil", since they were left on the table, easy to find. We stumbled upon "nuclear fission" which has a stupidly high line of credit but it's green, and the other day we met a drunkard who told us green is evil, so we shy away from it. Credit agencies are starting to call, so we're now hoping that the "renewables" card will help pay down the first three, while hoping that the "nuclear fusion" card we've ordered 50 years ago will come to us soon.

The point being, we're not solving our most important problems, we've been merely leaving them out for later. If we hadn't found that "oil" card, we'd already be fucked, per what "overly dramatic forecasters of doom" were saying. Lucking out of a problem is not something you should attribute to your skills.

Moreover, problems we had in the past weren't serious. And we haven't thought our way out of them - we just let them happen. War? Famine? Floods? Oh, people died. So what, there are people elsewhere, and civilization didn't fundamentally change since the ancient history anyway. Only after the industrial revolution, when the progress of technology finally gained its pace, we've entered the times in which we actually have something to lose if we fail to maintain our civilization. We've also entered the era when for the first time in history, we're creating extinction-level problems for ourselves.

I love science and I do believe in human power to solve even most difficult problems. But let's not pretend that we got here by something else than just being lucky. And let's not treat serious problems as if they were child's play.
Renounce your religion. If you care about the humanity, that's the best thing you can do.

Redis and in-memory data grids are pretty different animals. I would characterize IMDG's like Geode to be concurrent write intensive, and have flexible data models. It also scales out better than Redis in a more automated fashion.

Redis is a great read-intensive cache. It also has a powerful data model, but you have to use their data models. Example: If you want to run calculations on lists or sets, they have powerful operations you can call.

IMDG's such as Geode were built with the rise of automated trading in the finance industry.

I hate this color scheme
I am nobody but I have had to actively lower my profile. Historically, I tended to attract a lot of attention in a way that goes bad places. I have worked hard to figure out how to get more attention on my work and off of me per se. So, some lessons learned:

You can stay stealth while getting early users by doing one or more the following:

1) Brainstorm a list of ways to frame the concept. Find one that is low key, boring as hell and sounds anything but revolutionary. Just indicate "We slightly tweak (totally ordinary thing)."

2) Use a social medium to reach out to people who seem like they might be interested. Offer them a private invitation in exchange for feedback.

3) Get initial feedback from friends/family/some other limited social circle where you feel comfortable talking to them and you feel they might have some clue what they are talking about.

4) Be as public as you want without actively promoting it, but be careful to not give away the secret sauce part of the idea.

"Academics have found that I.P.O. underpricing is ubiquitous. Jay Ritter has documented underpricing over the years. According to Professor Ritter, the average underpricing for I.P.O.’s in the United States was 14.8 percent from 1990 to 1998, 51.4 percent from 1999 to 2000 and 12.1percent from 2001 to 2009."

"Over the last 50 years, I.P.O.’s in the United States have been underpriced by 16.8 percent on average. This translates to more than $125 billion that companies have left on the table in the last 20 years."

Normal over the last 50 years, maybe.
