Under the "situation containing contradictory features" the second paragraph takes care of that.

Under the "absurd statement turns out to be true upon research" consider how weirdly we distribute risk. So hire an unlicensed plumber he causes a leak that destroys the house, foreclose, bankruptcy, and all the risk lands on the govt guaranteed mortgage loan provider aka the taxpayer. So I can save $50 today with 99.9% odds and if something bad happens, all the risk falls on other people not solely on me. You'd be a fool to ever hire a union plumber, and the government would be a fool not to prosecute unlicensed plumbers because they pay every failed mortgage.

Risk estimation is very interesting because much like accumulation of capital, it seems only a tiny minority of the population are any good at it.

There's also the fake free market situation. If you can't have a meeting of the minds between you and your doctor or plumber, you can't have a free market transaction. Rather than sending the whole population thru med school and plumber school, it seems cheaper as an overall total societal cost to certify practitioners in both fields. That's the paradox of a regulated uneducated market being closer to a free market WRT identical decisions and outcomes than an unregulated uneducated market, how could adding regulation make something freer, well, clearly it doesn't, but it makes the outcome indistinguishable from an actual free market.
> why does the article's author want to deny the poor and less well educated segment of the small business community its fair share of the economic protection which occupational licensing offers?

Well, obviously, no one deserves a particular "fair share" of a business. That's basically saying that they own a certain number of people as customers, which is almost like micro-slavery. (And if there's enough businesses where someone owns the rights to you as a customer, it gets progressively more and more so.)

But beyond that, who would be the competition for the "poor and less well educated segment of the small business community" afforded protection? Surely a new entrant into the hair-braiding business is more likely to be poorer and less-well educated than someone who is already in the business and influential enough to be lobbying occupational licensing boards.
We have a shared account to manage servers as well. However, the individuals still have individual accounts, and individual SSH keys. They log in as themselves, and `sudo -iu` into the shared user. This can be done without giving the user root (i.e., sudo supports only giving access to the shared account).

It's still not a great setup, because it makes auditing a nightmare. (Unfortunately, a particular software package we use essentially requires it due to its bad architecture.)
So with salespeople, it's important to meet in person?

Not having a car used to mean you couldn't see your friends, and couldn't do the things you wanted to when you wanted to. Finally getting a car basically opened up life.*

No, I realize exactly what I am saying, and I am not agreeing with you.

What I am saying is: "Regardless of personal outcomes, whites and blacks are playing a game with a different probability distribution. That's a statistical fact. I want you to either acknowledge that it's a fact, or provide evidence that it is not. If you do agree that it's a fact, I want you to say 'I'm sorry you guys are playing a statistically rigged game', however, I don't want you to feel guilty and give up your shit."

Saying 'I am sorry' is not the same as feeling guilty. If you really object to the words 'I'm sorry' and can't fathom saying them and not feeling guilty, try saying 'it sucks that you guys are playing a statistically rigged game'. If the words "I promise to remember that if I ever manage to leave the losers' bar" seem to imply to you that it's a promise to later feel guilty and give up some of your shit when you have some, it isn't. Certainly you can remember what it is like to be a loser while being a winner, and then do nothing to help current losers.

What you seem to be saying is: "Regardless of whether 'the black game is disadvantageous to the white game' is a fact or not, the reason anyone tells me that is because they want to elicit guilt and then proceed with resource redistribution, rebalancing and social engineering", and I think that's wrong.

Just like it is incorrect to say that there is a white/asian/indian-male-libertarian-programmer-hivemind on Hacker News, it is incorrect to state that everyone that makes the observation that I am making is there to elicit guilt and proceed with resource redistribution.

There is a philosophical maxim that states "you can't derive an 'ought' from an 'is'." Interpret your opponents with sufficient charitability to believe that they are obeying this maxim, especially when they say "I am obeying that maxim."
Disability has increasingly become the new stopgap for welfare. Many rural and blue collar workers who can't find jobs are applying for and getting on disability.

Given that Gage Skidmore owns all rights to the photos, and that Priceonomics apparently had contacted him for this article, it seems quite plausible that Gage allowed the photos to be used outside the CC license.

Furthermore, one might argue that showing photos in an article about them is covered by Fair Use principles. In this case no reference to license or source would be needed.

Top Down Operator Precedence (2007)

This is a big deal, unfortunately. I am super onboard with the urbanization movement, but cost of a 3-4 bedroom living space is not cheap in an urban area. I really don't want to raise my kids in a suburb - my wife and I grew up in that environment and it was unpleasant. But we may be forced that direction just to afford to have enough space for 1-2 children. :-(

edit to add some color commentary: I would mostly like to sell my car and not buy another one; I would like to use public transit everywhere; I would like to live in a high-density area with 6+ story residences. Many benefits accrue in these situations; I don't understand the pleasure or enjoyment of living outside of that kind of environment - having done so myself, the more urban the area, the better living it is.
Nim seems to be doing pretty well and it compiles to C. I've not really used it but it does look pretty good.

There is a difference between believing some particular individual is guilty of harassment and accepting that a harassment problem exists in an industry or company. If we want to convict someone, either in the court of public opinion or in a court of justice, we must hold ourselves to a high standard of proof. Better a murderer go free than an innocent be hanged, and so forth.

But if we're interested in whether the industry itself has a problem, in whether a problem exists, then we should take women (or anyone else!) at their word when they say they experience harassment, absent strong evidence that they are lying or mistaken. Otherwise, we are violating the same rule: assuming they are guilty of lying until they prove themselves innocent!

So there are two sources of "tape" in the word "tape out". Back in the good 'ol days (Pre 1980s), chip designs were done on paper by the engineers, and then transferred onto rubylith tape (http://tingilinde.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b54669e2017ee846b...) by mostly women. The rubylith was then moved to the fab, where it was used as the mask for photolithography (start of manufacturing of the chip).

The other source of the name was that starting in the 80s through 90s, when EDA tools started being used in the industry, designs were all done on computers, and then the final file containing the information for the fab (.GDS2) was put onto a storage media (tape) and sent to the fab.

In both of these cases, it is basically the final design step, before you wait however long for the silicon to get back from the fab. It is also a huge stressor as the fabrication runs are prepaid for, so when you are approaching tape out date, it is typically extreme overtime for everyone involved.

I should probably get back to work; 2 1/2 months to tape out myself... hopefully will get some sleep between now and then.
Ironically, things done for PCI/ISO27K compliance very often decrease security. Maybe not always, maybe not everywhere, but at least that's my experience with the companies I worked at and is also in line with the stories I heard about other companies.

Quite recently: Security was concerned about enforcing ssh key rotation and was pushing for sysops to generate and store (obviously - unencrypted) private keys for all users on a central jump host and provide users access to that host using passwords (for which enforcing lifecycle policies is easier).
Definitely willing to do that. Lord knows we do it enough by hand already.
That's from 2008, though that was a pretty silly thing to say even then.
They intermix "break/broken" and "cut". It's important to know whether this is decay or sabotage.
He's missed another trend that's not as visible - the concentration of commercial real estate ownership. There are many towns and small cities where one or two organizations own most of the commercial property. They control rents and can decide which businesses get to operate.

My "social math" comment was directed at this comment that you made:

> I make an effort to be sufficiently even handed that only a committed partisan could take offense

not at attacking the contents of the book that you are discussing in your original post. I have not read that book, therefore I am not on sufficient ground to debate its contents.

On the other hand, your idea that you have been "sufficiently even handed" requires more explanation. From what I've read from you in this comment thread, that appears to mean, "I've made comments that people all over the political spectrum might not like, therefore somehow upsetting someone on the 'left' and someone on the 'right' balances out to upsetting no one. Therefore, only extremely committed zealots will be upset by my comments." This is the "social math" that does not work.

> Sorry if I tipped a sacred cow. I thought this was hacker news not reddit.

I could direct the same comment at you. Making comments like this is meant to put me on the defensive. You're claiming that I'm acting like an "irrational Redditor" rather than a "intelligent HN reader." Ending all of your comments with the equivalent of, "I'm just saying the truth that no one wants to hear" gives you more in common with Trump that you may like to admit.
That's an odd tradeoff. I'm going to have to disagree with the sibling noting that "compliance != security".

Here's the thing: they say they can't enforce users to encrypt passwords (hogwash; you can have a local agent that checks that), but do they check that users are providing good passwords? I have much more faith in a randomly generated key than I do in a human-generated password. The former pretty much requires compromising the machine; the latter I can just take pot-shots at the server with. (They do rate limit your SSH password attempts, right? right?)

Even if we assume that the password is good, and that the server won't allow infinite tries to guess it, the security is only equivalent: compromise of the user's local account will reveal the password (just sniff the password) or the key (just read the keyfile, and sniff the password if it is encrypted). I don't see any world in which a password is more secure than a key.

LLVM supports every system you could possibly care about, unless you're in a very niche market. If you're coding for a processor that's so niche that it supports GCC but not LLVM, then you should compile to GCC GIMPLE instead. If you're coding for a system that has neither LLVM nor GCC support, then compiling to C may be an option, but I honestly wonder if it wouldn't be easier to just repair the LLVM C backend in that case. (Note that this is so uncommon of a use case that the LLVM C backend has been unable to find a maintainer willing to keep it working for years.)
For four hours you could not learn how to sharpen a straight razor properly. But a month seems reasonable. Two years is too much.
It lasts for two hours.
And what are "changes"? Does a minor crop or sharpening constitute a change? (Or, more precisely, a remix, transform, or build upon.)

Leaving aside whether they are free licenses and whether that matters, my issue with the CC variants is that both NoDerivs and (especially) Non-Commercial are nearly impossible to define in the general case and therefore cannot be safely relied upon as a grant of permission if you're being legally conservative.
You changed the vector from a mutable one to an immutable one. That isn't the same code. What if you need a mutable vector?

Also, consider this:

std::observer_ptr<std::string const> const foo() {
std::vector<std::string const> const strings { "Hello" };
return std::observer_ptr(&strings[0]);
}

std::cout << foo(); // use after free, even with const!

This is how these discussions always go: someone presents an example of use-after-free in C++, someone else says "that's contrived"/"not real C++", and the discussion continues indefinitely. At some point we are going to just start debating "does anyone actually write use-after-frees in modern C++?", which is also a question we have empirical answers to by way of vulnerability databases and bug trackers, and the results don't look good for C++ there either.

If your contention is that observer_ptr is completely safe, then we could have easily added it to Rust. We didn't for a reason: it's unsafe in Rust and unsafe in C++.
I learned more math in shop class than I did in math class. Trig actually makes sense when you're trying to cut angles right to create a piece of furniture, or figure out how to pattern your rafters to get the right pitch on a roof.

Bringing Python or R in to graph the meaningless functions that we graphed on our TI-83s doesn't add much value - what you are doing is still pointless. If you want to teach high-school-level pre-calculus, I think the best bet would be to offer a 3D graphics course. Jamming math into people's heads without showing them why it would ever be useful is about as effective as jamming a camel through the eye of a needle. You've got to trick people into learning math.
Editing is open for 2 hours, which is lots of time to review what you wrote and take out the uncivil bits. That's what I do, or try to.

It's definitely still possible to disagree, of course. It's entirely a matter of how.

> So now using const is some kind of difficult task? Not much cognitive overhead there. I thought everyone was onboard with immutability these days.

The fact that if you make everything totally immutable you can write safe C++ is (a) not true; (b) even if it were true, a totally irrelevant point in practice since not everything can be immutable. "C++ is memory-safe if you don't mutate anything anywhere" is a completely uninteresting point to the real world (even if it were true).

> My point is that safe low-overhead data structures with non-dangling, pointers protected from nullptr dereferencing ARE possible in C++ and not Rust. Yes, you have to put const after every type. Call that vigilance if you want. It's a really small price to pay IMO.

No, it's completely wrong. You have no protection from dangling references in C++.
I recently moved to a standing desk with a mini elliptical machine to exercise on.

Now looking to get a setup with an overhead bar so that I can do some some additional arm exercises (pull ups, etc.). I already keep two free weights within easy reach.
1) Is there really a demand to lease out cars during the off hours? With personally rented cars, who is in charge of cleaning it up, or determining if the vehicle is sufficiently clean, or figuring out who did any damage?

Or that the car is sufficiently maintained, the spare tire has air, etc.?

2) Will I be able to rent the car with baby seats (three seats please, for the triplets), ski racks, bike racks, etc. and how much extra will that cost? Will I have to load/unload the diapers, gym equipment, toolbox, sand for extra traction, first aid kit, etc. after each trip?

And yes, I have kept sand in the back of my car, and used it during icy conditions to get out of a friend's driveway.

Every city needs an area of town which is commercial, owned by the city, and heavily subsidized to promote social welfare, art, and commerce. For the people that don't want to participate in society on the terms of Capitalists. In such an area you can sell wares, food, whatever. And office space and retail space is available cheaply to anyone running a bona fide business.

Unemployment is quite a bit more expensive to governments than subsidizing retail and commercial space. Buying land when it's very cheap and holding on to it forever, as part of the city's bylaws. And perhaps doing sponsorships deals with big business in the city, to generate additional revenue to support the properties.

Technically, they're wrong because the stats are collected by trackers in sites about WebGL, so there's a bias towards having complete WebGL implementations.

Of course there are more than 1% browsers that support, but we're talking about implementations, not devices. You can can have an old iPhone running iOS pre8 and it won't run WebGL, but one can say that iOS does support WebGL now.

you can claim at most a 3000 loss in a single year.. BUT

* you can offset unlimited gains with as many losses as you have - so that's the real value.
* you can carry forward losses greater than 3000 to future years. so its not use it or lose it
Blackmail
I had a civil dispute and the guy breached his agreement to pay what he owed. I was unaware it could be considered blackmail to threaten to report a crime so when I read it could be construed as blackmail, I sent him an email and withdrew my threat, told him to keep his money. Do I still face potential blackmail charges or if I withdrew the threat and did not report the crimes, am I ok?

Walking is amazingly free of worries. I thought biking (in urban areas) would be the same but at higher speed, it's not. When you get above 25 you become dangerous and cannot be mindless.
