>And I've travelled all over the US, Europe and in several parts of Asia. I've never had any trouble with wifi, even to non-chain, el-cheapo motels. So I wonder, what are all those wi-fi issues people mention in forums etc.

I agree with this 98%, with the exception of early releases of Yosemite, which really did seem to have a WiFi problem on the rMBP (even with Apple Airport Extreme base stations), in that it would disconnect a lot and you'd have to recycle your WiFi off/on. Annoying but not a deal breaker. And fixed within a month or two.

Otherwise I'd suspect there are some hardware + driver variations of Macbooks that may have had issues for others.

That seems like exactly the use case for bitcoin. It shouldn't have much impact on the people who actually strongly and immediately need a VPN - they were probably not using paypal anyway. But it's still a shame they are doing that, because it will make those services far less accessible to the normal people.
My wife is a Nurse Practitioner. When she started down that path she had to get into nursing school to earn an RN. Just getting into a school, any school was extremely difficult. The programs are very competitive with limited space. She made it work because she is brilliant and tenacious but that period was really rough.

If 'they' were really worried about the nursing shortage they would introduce more tiers of qualified nursing to cover the gap. Like it was said earlier, places are not hiring LPNs anymore and are putting the squeeze on RNs. The shortage is not because there are a shortage of people who want to be nurses but it is because it is so difficult to get to a level where you are desirable.
You're making it too simple.

You may find the case of the US embassy in Oslo instructive. That building is located quite close to the castle and the other embassies, on a major thoroughfare, and has suffered much poor press because they insisted on closing off half the road due to security concerns.

The press has not been favourable to the embassy. But the commuters (that street is/was a major commuter route from the posh western suburbs) don't just read about the traffic problems, they experience them every morning. Of course it didn't help when the newspapers printed headlines like "Americans refuse to move to <quiet backwater>, insist on continued traffic chaos." But the traffic chaos existed and was directly noticeable.

(The situation was eventually defused. The embassy will move.)

So, the Cobra Effect (as Wikipedia calls it)? Original story being that the colonial government offered a bounty for each poisonous snake killed (intending to reduce their numbers), but ended up increasing them because people bred cobras for the income.

Clickbait article about an article about impending doom.
I've always felt the issue with government is it's simply too complicated for any one person or even group of people to understand.

Every politician seems incompetent because there is no way any human being can gather and analyse the wants and needs of every single constituent and form a strategy that benefits as many people as possible. There's just not enough time in the day and brainpower available no matter how you divise the workload.

AI can solve this. Maybe not as a candidate but at least as a raw information parser.

If someone gathered and open sourced the information on what everyone wanted in relation to some policy we could even have competing AIs that parse it in different ways to figure out the best way to tackle a problem.
Dunno if it is about snubbing, but i get the impression that having systemd inside the container makes it damn hard to work it if you do not also have it outside the container. And at that point, systemd is likely to take over control completely rather than play nice with docker.
Yeah, I did some research back then, and it didn't really seem to be by the books. Regardless, if they were the ones that initiated the call, they would all instantly hang up if I suggested they had the wrong number/person/etc and call again later.
This is exactly my point. Apple has been making these choices for a while, but they're being swept into a convo about bugs, and thus capacity/engineering. I think atp.fm dip into this for a second in their most recent (yesterday) podcast episode.

What happens now is that legit companies are not calling anymore. It's only scammers. What they do is use a PBX or Voice Over IP system where they can set the caller ID themselves. When they call someone, they create a new number (sometimes daily, sometimes per call) that appears to be in your area code. So you report them to the Do Not Call registry, but the number is bogus, so the Feds have no way of knowing who actually called you or who to fine. If you ask who the company is on a call they'll either hang up on you or give a generic name like "Carpet Cleaners".

Within the last month, I've found that I can no longer access my bank's website over my VPN, and Netflix has started blocking access while use a VPN as well.

I can somewhat understand the bank's motivation, but offering two-factor authentication would be a much better way of boosting security than blocking VPN traffic.

As for Netflix, it's totally short-sighted. Netflix is literally unusable from my home connection without a VPN (thanks, Time Warner!). Now that they seem to be consistently blocking my ability to use the service, I'm planning on canceling.

We can totaly buy VPN via bitcoin
I see this as a responsibility of a vendor and not PayPal. An example is an online store which only accepts payments from the UK so when I was on holiday I was unable to use that site. I had to use a VPN to be able to buy the product and deliver to my house in the UK.

I can understand a website blocking users from other locations or VPN users but for PayPal to do it seems unnecessary and a way to hurt genuine users.

Just hacked together a prototype for a hosted twtxt server in Go: http://github.com/plomlompom/htwtxt

This could be used to allow server-less users to login and twt via a browser to URLs hosted by someone running the server. I'm still pretty new to Go and building / setting up web servers, so don't expect too much (expect session/cookie handling to be messy, and security in general to be bad).

I set up a quick testing version at (http) http://test.plomlompom.com:8000/ and (https, bad certificate) https://test.plomlompom.com:8001/ – just for testing and playing around, don't expect anything hosted there to be up for too long.

This is pretty cool and I definitely think direct manipulation is essential to learnable programming.

That being said, direct manipulation should ideally work both ways: it's awesome that changes to the image update the code in real time, but code updates should also instantly update the image. The "run code" workflow is very clunky, especially when popular tools in production today actually do hot code reloading.
The old joke, thrown out from time to time by politicians and pundits, to describe a lack of quality candidates,is that:

I guess then the joke would evolve to: "Anyone smart enough to be a good adviser wouldn't want to be."

Its not merely the way forward- its the whole problem. Nothing of this is at all challenging methodologically or technologically- scientists, as a group, are masters of such things. The challenge is social.

If you've failed to reproduce a result, this could be due to the original experimenter's flawed work, or your own mistakes, or unnoticed ambiguities in the experimental method, etc. There's no way to publish a negative replication without implicitly asserting, in the eyes of your fellows, that the original researcher did it wrong- its not what a negative result logically shows, but this is just how humans work. Jumping the gap between what you've shown and how your publication will be socially received takes substantial courage- scientific careers are fragile!

That only applies to cross listed symbols (e.g. Blackberry), currencies, etc.

The fact that one can shift trading in cross listed symbols to other venues doesn't mean that supply&demand also doesn't reduce market making (thereby increasing costs). In fact, Bernie Sanders explicitly hopes the tax will do exactly that.
Wouldn't this be sticking it to the company though? Wasted unproductive phone calls hurt the bottom line and produce no sales, and as you mentioned the employees running this scam get bonuses, so costs go up.

What could be better to hurt the company than that?

In other words, the goal here is to disincentize spammy calls from businesses.

Causing telemarketing to be less profitable and more costly is a good way to achieve that, so this tool being used by "both sides" is a good thing.
The TPP was signed last week and will likely change the law.
So just because something is trivial doesn't mean that it doesn't require time to implement the rules. You can be entering a bunch of convulted rules into a GUI based system or you can be writing them in code.

I largely actually prefer the code way, believing it's much more flexible, sane and safer. However, the problem is the average person who understands these rules is scared of the code, and the average coder is much more interested in solving a lot of inconsequential problems.

This makes it much harder to pay someone in who's just going to sit down and churn out your CRUD and when folks find these guys, they're either keeping them happy or think they're easily replaceable and will have a fall later on.

I'm doing devops at a big org at the moment. They have several dev teams working on bespoke low-traffic resource managment applications. Most of these have 5 developers, devops, delivery manager, user researcher, designer in addition of going view a technical review process, pen testing, performance review, and functional testing.

Basic math suggests that's going to come out at about £350,000 per project over 3 months. A million quid later, they've all passed reviews without any of these so called highly technical people realising they're dealing with a common problem and that they're developing 3 of them. Also they're all shit because they're done by MEAN stack tech hipsters who haven't quite realise they're leaking important data.

You don't need to replace the grid, just add more capacity.

The economics for ~100% up-time only work out when utility's are regulated to act that way. That means spare capacity and backups for your backups. As such I feel a few Peaker plants are actually a good idea. They should not be turned on every day and should be able to pick up the stack when unexpected things happen.

In terms of hydro, we can build them to store ~12 hours worth of US electricity demand. Past that the geography still works just fine, but excess production becomes cheaper than excess storage.

PS: Don't forget we already use pumped hydro. It's just a maximization problem where cost of excess capacity vs. extra storage.

"Telemarketer" nowadays means just anybody making annoying calls. I don't remember when was last time somebody who actually wanted to sell something has called. All the calls I am getting now are either asking for donations (which are exempt from do-not-call law, being a "charity"), doing a "survey" (also exempt) or are from criminals helping with my "credit card debt" , from "Windows security", from "IRS" etc. I imagine the criminals, already breaking more serious laws, would ensure they are not vulnerable to the do-not-call.

> She went to work as a carer instead

A minor point but if she's paid she's not a carer, she's a care worker or care assistant or personal assistant or personal care worker or etc.

Carer is a term reserved in English law for someone who provides care but who s not paid to do so. (Usually a spouse, or parent, or child.)

This sounds like a minor quibble, but we know it takes a long time (average 2 years for adult carers, average 5 years for under 18 carers) to identify people who are carers. We also know that often people don't self-identify as carers because "I don't get paid to do this".

(But I agree with the rest of your post).
In a sane and rational world - yes, it would have been automated. But in our world everything is done the most twisted way possible, either deliberately or out of some deeply ingrained human stupidity.

I cannot stop shaking every time I interact with pretty much anything designed by supposedly high profile specialists. There is no single day I do not run into an astonishing stupidity. Daily commute? London Oyster system is such a thoroughly shitty design that it is nearly unbelievable. Shopping? It never works as one would expect, and is always far too twisted - all that Amazons, Ebays and alike. Healthcare? Just super stupid, stupider than the trashier of the comedies. Yes, they "automate". They decided that a doctor should not type or write, to save a valuable time. They're expected to record everything on a voice recorder and pass it to an assistant for typing. Guess what? They type or write first, because it's easier, and then read it aloud. Shall I go on?

This world is a pile of stupid shit, throughout. And expecting that something that definitely should have been automated or eliminated altogether would have happened is just totally naive.

And if someone really do automate all the CRUD needs for 80% of the possible users, they'd never know anything about it. So why bother? They must grow up and automate it themselves, it's dead easy.

I haven't experience any error 53 codes on the devices I've repaired, but if this is true... Wow! That's really shady of Apple.
I'm starting to get the feeling that the moves they're making (like charging for Apple radio [not Apple music], and now disabling phones with unauthorized repairs) is their response to their recent report of declining iPhone sales. Disappointing if this is true that these changes are at the expense of their end users and fans (and I am a fan).

It's easy to understand: PayPal is mitigating risky transactions. It makes sense, is perfectly legal, and frankly... I applaud their continued efforts to combat fraud and other bad actors.
