E.g., if you wave in first, read that your balance is low, and then go to a ticket machine to top up, it will be counted as a maximum fare travel. Still the case, after so many years.

Those retards did not even think that ticket machines may be available beyond the oyster barriers, but this is very common on many suburban rail stations.

And if they were not such scumbags, they did not even have to think about all that at all. There are trivial formal methods to analyse all possible workflows. The fact they were oblivious of such methods is unforgivable. The incompetent uneducated retards should never be allower anywhere near any technology.

Yeah, pretty much this. Remember, censorship isn't only when the government bans something. Yes, that's an example of censorship, but individuals and other private parties can censor stuff as well, and when literally all the places you can gain an audience are private property... then anything they don't like is de facto censored.

Which to be fair, is a problem with the internet and much of the modern day world. So much that people depend on is privately owned that freedom in the 'from government' sense is basically meaningless.
__FILE__, __LINE__, __FUNCTION__

Yes, there's no default pretty print for structs, but no sane C programmer would ever expect or want that blubber to come available by default. Mainly because there's very rarely a need to printf-dump anything more than a select variable or a struct field. Different language - different debugging realities.

Ask HN: Am I being identified?
Usually I use the Tor Browser to read news sites.

The last few times I have visited Hacker News, I have been intercepted by a captcha. That's OK. However, when the captcha thing use jacascript, and takes 4 - 5 iterations to complete - I'm starting to wonder if it tries to identify me as an individual - and not just as human. Especially when Google seems to be doing the screening (reCAPTCHA). I'm using the Tor network explicitly to prevent Google & Co from tracking me.

I guess all people will type on the keyboard or move the mouse a bit differently from others - and given a large enough window for the user interaction, it should be possible to create a unique profile. I have noticed that CloudFlare does the same thing - requiring several iterations when I point the browser at theregister.co.uk.

If unique identification is what's going on, I'm not OK with it.
Guess I completely forgot that. Thanks.

Obviously, that's why the Github description says:

A process running under maybe can still do serious damage to your system because only a handful of syscalls are blocked. Currently, maybe is best thought of as an (alpha-quality) "what exactly will this command I typed myself do?" tool.
Na, that's not how it works at all. When you run a docker container, you'll be running your app directly, thus systemd won't be involved and isn't even needed within the container.

The problem with debian and centos is they weren't create with containers in mind, thus by default their base images pull in a lot of stuff that's required to actually init hardware.

We can see with fedora that efforts have been made to slim it down, I suspect as containers become a popular usecase we're going to see smaller base containers, except with access to 30,000 stable packages and a mainstream community.

If you want to compare the verbosity of both languages, why not use 'using namespace std' ?

Why write:

> std::vector<unsigned> counts; counts.resize(sevens.size());

When you can write:

> auto counts = vector<unsigned>(sevens.size());

Doesn't seem like a fair comparison to me.
This looks nice. But, ideas are more important than code. So to be honest, I would enjoy a description of how this works more than actually playing with this program.

I'm familiar to the case. My point was that I don't find it particularly analogous to the Eich case. Having no relationship to some people who walk down the street occasionally is substantially different than actually having to be professionally associated with someone and practice tolerance on a regular basis. I'd also argue that free speech should be protected in both cases (socially if not legally).

> If your ideology is motivated by bigotry, that's the problem.

I agree. I'm not sure corporate leaders need legal protection. Perhaps. But the right to publicly assemble and speak absolutely needs legal protection. That's why I was trying to draw another analogy. To explore the difference between the Eich and Skokie incidents.

> First they went after smoking, with that nonsense about plain packaging.

Plain packaging is nowhere near the first against smoking; it's more like the start of the end-game for it. The government has been very open about wanting to get rid of smoking altogether, and has been so for decades. I was at high school in the late '80s and remember a bloke from Quit saying that they were funded by cigarette taxes, and his job was to put himself out of a job. Punitive taxes and advertising bans long predate plain packaging, as do bans on smoking in hospitality venues.

Alcohol isn't going to go away any time soon for exactly the same reason negative gearing isn't - too many pollies like it for themselves. Alcohol is also a major industry in Australia, unlike tobacco. Similarly, mainstream Australia identifies strongly with a tipple - for example, we like to boast that one of our PMs held a world record for skulling beer. I've never heard any such patriotic murmurings on the topic of tobacco.
I worked for a British based airline for a couple of years (before the fuel surcharges were introduced). Regarding tickets, economy (coach) tickets are not where airlines make their money, so we probably shouldn't look at the prices we pay for these tickets as data points relating to costs (fuel). It's not comparable to train or bus travel.

They make any profits with business class and first class tickets. These are the seat prices which may reflect the costs to operate. Economy seats are there to fill up the plane. They can run the flight and still make a profit if all the business class and first class seats are taken and no economy seats are there. This is why the adverts you see on TV are never about the economy class, but all about the business / first class / luxury class. Airlines only compete with each other on these luxury seats, they don't compete with economy seats.

Martin Shkreli on Drug Price Hikes and Playing the World’s Villain
Because you buy into the idea of opposing ideologies, of national identity, of otherness, of suspicion based on nationality.

You can, rather, look at this from the perspective of arguing parents, where they want you to pick one or the other. The only way to win is to not play, and to derive identity from your self, rather than what patch of dirt you happened to be born upon.
I still think this specific line on the bill should not be based on competitive environment, but on actual fuel cost, the whole ticket price is based on the competitive environment. I guess they want that line to look as big as possible, because it feels like it's not their fault they are charging us that much (last time on Ari France the whole section was labelled "taxes" and there was like 30%/70% fuel overcharge in the section).
Would it be more safe to copy the entire target to a /tmp and do all the required operations from there?
Shkreli is slowing or perhaps quickly becoming an anti-hero against drug companies. Sort of movies like He was a quiet man. He's inadvertently becoming a poster child for drug price reform.
Structured Concurrency
Which makes me want to imagine historians 2000 years from now debating whether 9/11 really occurred on 9/11 or closer to 12/11.

What might be a useful reason for that, except academic exercise? Even being able to tell the exact year some 2000 years later would still be a very precise, all things considered.

For all practical purposes I can imagine, knowing the time of eruption rounded to "in the fall of year NNNN" would be more than enough. Maybe there is a genuine need for more precise dating but the need would have to be partially theoretical due to the fact that it's simply pretty damn difficult to tell. Based on the quoted part, we basically have some old stories and notes which themselves suggest something but still leave many doors open and that's all.

At work, we invoke an async Lambda function to make a lot of concurrent requests to different APIs for one input. In short: a batch.

Lambda passes the data to another component on AWS to be processed.

The input sources for data range from APIs calls on Lambda, data from partners, data from legacy components, etc. So we split our data sourcing/fetching and data processing. They all flow into the same funnel (component) to be processed.

Rust only provides short reexports for a stable set of a few dozen items, rather than the "entire universe" of `using namespace std`. The only types that have a default reexport are `Option`, `Result`, `Box`, `String` and `Vec`.
Bringing namespaces into scope is perfectly idiomatic C++, just don't do it in your headers.

>Monetary policy is one of the main reasons. Instead of letting a secular deflation emerge

Yeah, that's what happened in the 19th century. It didn't help improve poverty at all - exactly the opposite, in fact. The series of financial crises and subsequent misery is partly what led to the creation of the federal reserve.

>Neoliberalism isn't even an economic idea.

It's strongly linked to neoclassicism. Plenty of neoliberal dogma has its underpinnings in neoclassical ideas (e.g. theory of the firm).
> In the case of Black poverty in the US there are probably better places to look first than the issue of single parent households.

With all due respect, you have a lot to say on an empirical claim (does race matter much more than parental status with respect to poverty?) without any data to back it up.

One could argue that broken families today is part of the legacy of slavery from 150 years ago, or disagree with the sources already cited, but I don't see you making those arguments. Or citing factual sources otherwise.

> The kind of analysis you put forward can easily start looking like its saying that poverty among black people is a moral failing of black people, rather than a moral failing of society.

Yes, prejudice is a danger. Do we ignore the analysis because of the risk of bigotry? Or is there a way to phrase the issue that lets us presume good faith, have an honest discussion, and perhaps correct subtle bigotry if it becomes clear?

> [... ]but there are vast cultural and technological improvements that often get diminished, and I think the comment above is a pushback against that, which does advance their argument.

The comment at top of thread was that relative to the ultra-rich (top 1%), things had got worse for the rest (the other 99%). The commentator expressly accepted that s/he was in a traditionally privileged position - yet it was still difficult.

There are many improvements required to help groups within the other 95%, whether that be by country, ethnic group, gender or anything else. But, you're simply having a different argument, when point of consideration is the much biggest gains that the top 1% is making relative to ALL other groups. This both includes the group you define as privileged and underprivileged.

Even to engage with your argument - the "trade-offs" you're citing that have led to 'cultural and technological improvements' for disadvantaged groups are social movement that weren't created or aided by the ultra-wealthy or large corporates. Quite the reverse. Using the principle of charity, the only 'improvement' I think you could put in this category would be globalisation - and honestly it's too big a change for us to know the outcome on that one.

They were in the 30s. If you can drop your McJob and get a guaranteed job with decent benefits and pay with the Public Works Administration you can tell your boss where to shove it. That's called "empowering".

>Nonsense. Keynes came from the neoclassical Marshallian tradition.

"Reaction against" would be more accurate. Keynes never had an equilibrium fetish (the kind that is used to pretend that unemployment isn't a problem because "a reversion to the mean is just around the corner").
> Although I consider myself independent, I personally would side with a republican interpretation of health care. Studies have shown that government programs in fields such as healthcare are inefficient when compared to their private counterparts, as a competitive market increases supply, and therefore decreases costs, as opposed to monopolies or government programs that provide a single source of service.

There is no need to choose – you can easily provide a minimum standard to everyone, and let the market handle everything above that.

Which is the concept of the social market economy in general: Everyone gets at least a specified minimum level of service, provided by society, paid by everyone (the social part) – and everything above that level is done with a fair and free market (the market part).

Airline fuel costs are (were) largely hedged so the true cost to an airline isn't reflected in day-to-day fuel prices.

Worse yet - most airlines bet the wrong way on the movement of fuel prices and locked in expensive hedges that they've made huge losses on now.

Southwest were praised for locking in fuel prices when oil rallied[1] but since the market turned they have lost $1.8 billion on their positions[2] Ryan Air locked themselves in for 3 years at ~$800-1000 per ton[3] Delta lost over $2 billion, United over $600 million[4]

Fuel was traditionally 20% of an airlines cost base but peaked up to 35% (see this[5] super interesting chart). The surcharges are noticed because a lot of airlines have restructured ticket pricing to the point where the 'base fare' is only 40-50% of ticket cost. One reason for this is that a lot of reward programs were restructured so that only the base fare is redeemed while the surcharges are paid (effectively devaluing frequent flyer miles)

But there is an even simpler reason why you likely weren't being overcharged for fuel: you were flying Qatar airways. The new batch of airlines from the gulf states have been making huge losses in an attempt to buy market.
