You're absolutely right: I guess I just wanted to provide some context on what ODD really is. I didn't want people to think that all ODD diagnoses are like this, or that ODD is not a real disease. I'll edit my comment to reflect that
> The only parties who need a copy of an email are the sender and the recipient.

Emphasis on "need". Most recipients also like to have a third-party anti-spam service also have a copy of their email.

Assuming the encryption costs are low enough, spammers and virus senders would like nothing better than to cripple anti-spam learning tools by having each recipient recieve a cryptographically unique opaque blob. This would force users to develop their own training corpus and react to new spam and virus outbreaks individually.

You may argue that you could still use anti-spam locally, but it wouldn't be as good. While I wouldn't mind sending decrypted spam out to a server and getting updates to my local anti-spam program, no one would want to send legitimate mail, so the service would have no "ham" to train against.

I suppose encryption could help in the fight against spam by requiring CPU time to encrypt the email. 10 seconds per email would be hard to notice for a real human responding to messages, but might make spam unprofitable.
SkyTran solves all the problems that come with trains and light rail, which are 19th-century technology. Too bad everyone is happy to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on a crappy public transit system that is so slow and inconvenient that no one wants to use it, when it's entirely possible to build a system which is cheaper and much faster and more convenient, but everyone thinks it's sci-fi (but somehow, automated cars aren't).
I hope so.

Seattle, Vancouver, SF, etc need to upzone, to permit more development, so that supply can meet demand. As I understand it, that upzoning is not happening nearly fast enough.

Public transit initiatives trigger (begats?) upzoning. This is an end run around the regressive restrictions on property taxes and entrenched NIMBYism.

I fully support it. Whatever works. I wish my peeps working on affordability, homelessness, economic justice would put less emphasis on set asides, protecting older listings, etc, and place more emphasis on increasing inventory.

One potential monkeywrench of increasing supply is absentee landlords. I just read something like 1/3rd of Vancouver properties are owned by Chinese investors. Which I'm totally cool with so long as the units are mostly occupied.
To the best of my knowledge, (GHC) Haskell and OCaml don't need to monomorphize parametrically polymorphic code, because they use a uniform representation for most objects. Some features of these languages, like GADTs and polymorphic recursion, are difficult to reconcile with monomorphization anyway.

On the other hand, Rust generics are monomorphized at compile time, which is closer to how C++ templates work. (The most important difference is that Rust generics are type-checked at definition time, rather than instantiation time.) Another language implementation that uses compile-time monomorphization is MLton, a whole-program Standard ML compiler.

Ideally, the language should offer the programmer two kinds of polymorphism: (0) second-class, which is less expressive but easier to type-check and more amenable to optimization, (1) first-class, with the opposite tradeoff.

Which is a great strategy, until the business releases something that duplicates your functionality and cancels your access.
No, the problem here is that the power company can't unilaterally decide you don't get power anymore and turn it off without warning. Your shipping carrier can't suddenly decide they don't serve you anymore, and by the way we're keeping all the packages you have en route.

But Amazon can. They also pay a few months in arrears, so one day you may wake up to a form email that says essentially, "adios, and I'm keeping the money". In fairness, I believe all affiliate programs are like that.

I'd still like to understand how the Seattle Monorail failed, got spiked. I'd been thinking it was for want of a champion. But now I wonder if the missing ingredient was triggering upzoning.

maybe money has something to do with it, but the way the two websites are marketed/positioned definitely plays a role as well, as it creates a bias in the hosts.

couchsurfing is marketed as "a great way to meet locals", as a way to find new friends, so people who list their places on it are more likely to be interested in making friends with their stayers.

airbnb is mostly positioned as a "turn your home into a hotel" website, so many airbnb hosts operate it like a business and are not necessarily looking to make friends with the clients.

A lot of experts disagree with you that this is an open-and shut-question, including leaders in the field of population genetics. It is by no means so clear cut.

Below I've linked a nice blog post on the question, as well as a Nature review from 2002 and even a Nature article from two weeks ago (Mar 2016).

Let me quote from one of them:

"The vast majority of species engage in some form of sex or genetic exchange. Yet the evolutionary forces that make sex widespread in nature remain incompletely understood. In principle, asexual reproduction should be more efficient: it avoids the costs of mating and allows individuals to pass all (rather than half) of their genetic material to their offspring. Extensive theoretical work has sought to understand why sex is pervasive despite these substantial costs."

Also, it is overwhelmingly the case that the people that tend to favor cipher cascades are new to cryptography, and generally have a very activist mindset behind their choices and actions.

I've reviewed this sort of activist code (Minds.com, Tutanota, etc.) and found it to be dangerous.
The paper that proves this, is actually called "Cascade Ciphers: The Importance of Being First".

This seems like a poor attempt at getting free press.
CCC regurgitates Amazon's own customers back to them. PriceZombie tracks prices on 100+ other stores, they have a Reddit bot that is seen by millions of people every day and they have browser extensions that are used by tens of thousands of people every day. Since Amazon usually has the best price, PZ actually steered customers to Amazon. It is against Reddit's TOS to have affiliate links in bots and against the TOS of most retailers to have affiliate links in extensions - so a massive amount of business was pushed Amazon's way without any benefit to PriceZombie.

PriceZombie's failure was in not expecting Amazon to always have the best price. Not all of the online retailers they track have affiliate programs so if a few of them dropped out because they were losing business it would not be a big loss, but with 90%+ of all purchases coming from Amazon, losing them as an affiliate was a fatal blow.

But that is to the PZ site. Behind PZ is a massive, custom coded data retrieval and searchable storage system that contains three years worth of product and price data from almost every major online retailer - both the technology and data is far more valuable than the PZ website.
Delaware is somewhat of a specialist in corporation organization, and a huge portion of the state's legislative and judicial resources are invested in being the venue of choice for incorporating a business. That's why the taxes on individuals living in the state are so low, they get a lot of income from corporate taxes and filing fees.

If you are incorporating somewhere solely for the purpose of doing business elsewhere, a Delaware C corporation will definitely do the job, in the same way that a rocket propelled grenade can technically fulfill the same role as a flyswatter.

If you have a functional business, and don't need investor money, an LLC will work just fine. Delaware, Nevada, and Wyoming are the most popular states to register an LLC, but by now, all states offer their own flavor of a limited liability partnership-based company.

A New Mexico LLC does not require annual reports or fees, does not require naming your principals or filing much more than just the articles of organization. The filing does not have to be done by a member of the LLC. You just need to maintain a registered agent somewhere in the state, and that is pretty much the only requirement for staying in good standing as far as the state is concerned. You literally just need to hire a registered agent, fill in a very simple form, and pay $50. No lawyers are required (unless you hire one as your registered agent). If you are not doing any business in the US, and none of your LLC members are US persons, I don't think you need to concern yourself with US taxes. You register your foreign corporation wherever you are doing business, and if they call up the New Mexico Secretary of State, they will say, "yep, we do have an LLC registered in that name".

If you want a US bank account, you will need an EIN from the U.S. federal government, which can also be done by a nominee having no other association with your company.

She's an idiot, like most psychiatrists, usually relying on drug pushing to keep their clients. It's close to impossible to find a decent therapist and if they do both talk therapy and prescribe drugs, due to conflict of interest (my repeat business vs. me getting better), it's really a rarity more rare than love. Unless you actually need drugs, but you wouldn't be able to know that because no one will objectively tell you one way or the other.

Isn't profiting off medicine (and by definition other people's suffering) fun?
Clickbait title. They are doing it not to screw the customer, but to help him because of AT&T and Verizon policies. Blame these carriers, not Netflix.
Volunteerism and giving is great, but religion's purpose is to co-opt and channel these altruistic impulses to make people believe that good things can only come from religion (historically linked to the state). You still see this brainwashing today, with people believing that atheists cannot be moral, or that religion makes them a better person. In fact, the most religious are frequently the most immoral. Look at the widespread sexual abuse sanctioned by the Catholic Church, today and throughout history.

As an aside, OPs conspiracy theory about the article titles sounds really silly.

It's colonialism because it's patronizing. You can have this much of the Internet, but no more.

If that's your approach then you don't understand the main value proposition of the web.

These programs are silly and ineffective. Facebook and Wikipedia should just channel their funds to a join effort at making all of the Internet accessible.

Seriously though, you are not at all free offline. Playing a guitar and making friends are safe activities that you can do online just as fine and not worry about government. But try crossing a border. (Pamphlets are a special case since a pamphlet can have much greater impact if "handed out" online)

Our frustration comes not from a delusion that Internet made us less free but from losing the hopes for liberation we once placed on it.
All good points, and I think we are entering into philosophy around what we mean by 'confirmation'.

I believe that models are certainly wrong. I personally doubt we have any models that actually reproduce the underlying mathematical structure of the universe (if it even exists, as you noted).

...But some models are useful. And when viewed from that perspective, a mathematical model can provide evidence that a hypothesis accurately explains an observed phenomenon, given a certain set of assumptions.

I view validation of a model hierarchically, where a untested hypothesis gains credibility by increasing tests of the validity of its predictions. Direct experimental confirmation is the strongest, but this is almost always impossible, and so weaker forms of testing are necessary. Computational modeling certainly provides a weaker form of confirmation, from this perspective.
Ummm If you post something in a public place, that is the opposite of private.

While your critique is valid when targeted to the "Free Basics" programs (or similar) when it comes to this particular instance of piracy you're reading too much into it. This is just a piracy hack. People everywhere have been doing this kind of thing for as long as there has been an internet and the reason is usually convenience, not some PolSci-level critique of neoliberalism.

2-4 times a year is not really asking for much out of anyone. The fact is that relationships and trust especially can fray after a long time without actually meeting with people (most of the time, you may be a special case). Its a lot harder to know what a person has been actually doing and working on without a little bit of occasional face time - you may be in a very special situation where there are almost no benefits to actually knowing your colleagues better than what you can say over IRC, but for me its always been very helpful to get a good feel for who is on the other end of the keyboard, which becomes super useful for collaberations.

Somehow, it's realistic to think about us all having self-driving cars dealing with the chaos of city traffic and pedestrians, and it's realistic to propose spending billions and billions of dollars on slow light-rail systems which require years of construction where the roads are all torn up, but it's completely bonkers to think about building a system with elevated rails hanging on utility poles and small, autonomous cars riding on these rails for only $1 million per mile.

These sorts of side channel vulnerabilities aren't some sort of new revelation-- the notion dates at least back to 2002 (per the authors' cited references). For example, one of the design goals of DJB's NaCl [1] is to mitigate side-channel vulnerabilities, specifically calling out data flow from secrets to load addresses (which has been used to break AES via a timing attack) and data flow from secrets to branch conditions (which is the sort of thing that's happening here-- where you can see secret-dependent patterns in the number and timing of operations in ECDSA computations) [2].

What's novel here is just how cheaply they're able to carry out these side-channel attacks.

And this becomes even more true as the thing with moving parts becomes more expensive. For an excavator which costs several hundred thousand dollars, when a shaft wears out of spec, they send it to a welder to apply more metal, then onto the lathe to trim it back into spec. In other words, when the equipment gets expensive enough, parts which you wouldn't normally consider to be maintainable become maintenance items.

> Once they started selling essentially everything at often the lowest prices, I switched to buying from them almost exclusively.

I used to do that, but I've started comparison shopping at local retail stores more recently. I've found that for many of the items I was buying that are available locally, Amazon was offering the same price or higher, plus a shipping delay (and the non-trivial hassle I have to go through to pick up some packages).

Plus, retails stores tend to group similar products together and allow you to get an intuitive sense of a products physical qualities, so I think they often provide a better experience. On Amazon, it can be surprisingly hard to answer the "how big is this, really" question.

Now, if I think I can buy an item locally, I try to do that first.
