No, you need to massively jack up taxes to increase supply, and it will work. But you don't jack up taxes on homes for rent, you jack them up on the homes that aren't for rent: houses which are just sitting unoccupied. The taxes will encourage the owners to either rent them out or simply sell them off to someone who will (or who will at least live there). That increases supply.
C++ is far safer than C precisely for the reasons listed. The standard is safe by default (it's not opt-in). If you want or need backward compatibility with C, then you can use the more error prone C constructs for that. Otherwise, pure C++ code is safe.

I do both C# and Java professionally - more of the latter right now because libraries/portability.

Java: The sad fact is that there is a huge surface area here, and which bit you focus on is going to depend on what kind of work you want to be doing (and where you're doing it).

As a bare minimum I'd want to look at the following standards: JPA (JSR-338); Dependency Injection (JSR-330); JAX-RS (JSR-339).

A solid understanding of Spring Framework would help, as that's pretty common. If you're deploying onto an application server, Wildfly would be the direction I'd look at.

From there it's religion - your best bet is to look at the jobs your interested and bone up on the toolchains that keep coming up.

Silly rabbit, it depends on who is asking/commenting.

Actually, a lot of people will try for you. If you don't do something, someone else will. It's an interesting question as to why we humans want to be personally responsible for the major changes in the world. I think we want to leave our mark because we want our name to be remembered. We want to have made a difference because we are concerned about our biological death. There is a book called Denial of Death that explores this theme, I think.

After all, why does it matter toa particular person if they are the inventor or originator or driving force behind a new technology that would have come about anyway? If money wasn't an issue, say, like for Nicola Tesla.

Do we really think someone else won't do it? Actually we usually think the opposite.
It's noteworthy that 90% of energy used in the Netherlands is fossil fuels[1] (as of 2013, anyway).
This means electric cars will emit GHGs comparable to a 40-50mpg gasoline-powered car.

This is why any talk about women being "naturally" less gifted at hard science, or naturally drawn to other fields, is B.S. You'd have to get to a level playing field first, before you could even evaluate that type of claim. (Neil deGrasse Tyson has made this same point.)

I'm actually planning on doing both -- I plan on using the LLC to travel, and taking enough runway for roughly a year. If in that time I can't bootstrap some business that provides a livable amount of recurring revenue, I'll be contracting/consulting where I can.

Worst case, run out of runway, and start contracting for some big company where I plan to move (or come back to the states)

I dunno if starting the LLC "just because" makes sense -- you can report side-work on your taxes even if you don't make the LLC... I didn't really look for resources on going it alone, mostly because I just don't think there's that much in it. Maybe I'm underestimating the amount of effort here, but I expect some more stress around tax time, and maybe having to create a business bank account but other than that, I get the feeling I won't think about it much.

>Publishers acquire this research free of charge

Except of course they don't. They provide publishing services, which cost them between 60-80% of the revenue each paper bring in (based on profit margins between 20-40%). Authors sign over their copyright in exchange for this consideration. (If they didn't get anything, the copyright assignment wouldn't be valid.)

> leading journals have stepped forward to make new findings free to all.

By charging authors upfront.

>Publishers do add value, but that value doesn’t justify the cost or the lost opportunities for those who can’t (or can’t fully) access the research.

This doesn't make sense. "Groceries do add value, but that doesn't justify the cost or lost opportunities for those that can't afford food".

The solution to people not being able to access essentials is not outlawing anyone charging for it. It's subsidizing the cost for everyone to buy it, or making a government-run version that provides it for free. If you want everyone to be able to eat, you give them food stamps (or make sure they have enough money by raising the minimum wage, whatever), don't get upset at companies that provide value but also make a profit. If you can do it for less, go ahead.
I don't think you understand how children are taught.

Simply telling them how they should behave is not very successful. More successful techniques include modelling good behavior, positively reinforcing good behavior, and avoiding reinforcing bad behavior.

The writer's observation here is that by responding to impolite orders, the Echo is reinforcing bad behavior (if a child tries the same thing on a parent, they will generally not get want they are asking for).
Yet something like 30% of office workers have had office romances. Are you going to tell all of those people they should not have flirted?
In many cases this is not pure sexism. Often people have a few 'exceptions' for some highly competent people.

In many cases it's closer to hazing where people can be incredibly nasty to people they think are acceptable targets. And then after a transition treat as part of their inner circle.

Not that I think either are acceptable, but it's important to try and understand behaviors you want to change.

Yes, it will differentiate APs with the same SSID as it relies on MAC IDs. I use it at my university with no problem (which is an enterprise situation).

It uses mobile hot spot information, however if the hot spots disappear it will not affect the results too badly, as long as there are some permanent AP fixtures. Anecdotally, I've used this system in airports (which house many personal hotspots) and it still has good recognition.

The title is saying exactly that. It doesn't provide any insight what's wrong if there's something wrong at all. How long does it take to take an instagram shot? 2-3 seconds? How many do you take on a journey? 50-100? Do the math and divide that with the length of your journey. Taking pics is a marginal activity.

It's easy to judge a class of people, when you have a special event, like a sunrise. But did the author followed them after it passed? No. She just seen an opportunity to bash "modern instagram culture" because she thinks people are not enjoying themselves anymore thanks to a mobile app. The whole article has an everything was better back then feeling which I've seen millions of times.

I have considered making this myself but focusing on day labors instead. In my city we have a huge population of day labors that congregate in a few places around town with the hopes of getting picked up for construction work. I'm pretty sure some of them are getting screwed since most of the work is under the table stuff. With a good reputation system and maybe an escrow service for the workers I think you could link labors with jobs directly cut out the sketchy middle men.
One thing that can be done here without saying, "all government research must be free" would be to explicitly put funding priority on labs that have a history of publishing in open access journals, or prioritize grants where the author commits ahead of time that they will publish in open access journals.

A big part of success in modern scientific research is ability to secure funding, so if you put your thumbs on the scales enough, it could catalyze a move to open access journals as the "prestigious journals."

I for one hope to be able to drive an electric vehicle in a few years (self-driving or not; but the Dutch road network probably really need this kind of solution to the congestion problems it has) but there are all kinds of smaller hurdles. It still takes a bit too long to charge mid-trip but I'm not entirely sure I could charge at home, not having a driveway (and probably be disallowed by regulation to just leaving a cable laying across the street where I park). Or at work, actually we don't really have any kind of parking provided by my employer (which is the government in this case). I dunno if I have to add 20 minutes a day to my commute to charge the batteries. Some also say our electric network cannot really handle the shift from fossil fuels to electricity in terms of bandwidth. Again, I hope to see this happen but we need a whole lot of people on the bandwagon or it's not going to happen in the time period the plan describes (but I do think it'll happen sooner or later).
If nobody paid, publishers wouldn't have revenue from access, and so would need to charge authors directly, which would make science costs go up.

Isn't this the perfect setting where an attacker will ask you to replace this binary with a custom binary with an additional backdoor?

In the best case the attacker would fake an email that looks like it came from your IT department. Even if you were suspicious, a quick search on the web would confirm that Apple really ships a vulnerable binary. So you believe the email is real. Then you go along and replace the binary with the malicious binary provided in the mail.

The fixed binary needs to be shipped by Apple.

I take your point, but i think you underestimate the power of familiarity to change behavior.

I have absolutely no data to back this up, but I strongly suspect that police officers watching blockbuster films and playing GTA affect how they view their jobs (SWATing a house because of a confidential informant says they grow pot, for example... bonkers). The human brain can distinguish fact from fiction, but it still influences their behavior.

The culture of celebrity is the same way: stars are familiar to us, so we react to them with the same sense of familiarity that we react to friends. We /know/, intellectually, that they aren't our friends, but they make us feel good, and our behavior is affected by them. Why the heck do people freak out about seeing a person who they saw in a movie? Who cares?

This is exactly like advertising, where they are exploiting the power of familiarity to change shopping behavior. Doctors deny that their prescribing behavior could possibly be affected by adverts, but I've worked for pharma, and I could tell you to the penny the ROI on each of those doctors who made such statements while they ate my sandwiches.

Psychology is powerful. And even if an /adult/ understands "what is happening" in a cognitive way, their behavior is still influenced. And I would guess that is increased by an order of magnitude for children.

These are just several observations, and it's a recurring theme that's occurred to me prior to seeing this blog post. But since it reinforces my preconceptions, I'm going to give it lots of credibility :)

Just consider it.
>Journal publishing has almost no expenses at all.

If their expenses of 60-80% of revenue is "almost nothing", surely their revenue is also "almost nothing", and therefore we shouldn't care about it.

From the clause:

> activity intended to influence or attempt to influence Parliament, Government or political parties

From Stephen Pinker's "The Language Instinct"

>As you are reading these words, you are taking part in one of the wonders of the natural world. For you and I belong to a species with a remarkable ability: we can shape events in each other's brains with exquisite precision. ... That ability is language.

If we accept that Parliaments, Governments and Parties are made up of people; then taken together these two quotes imply that recipients of grants must also have a separate source of funding in order to say or write anything that could be heard or read by an MP or party activist. Regardless of the subject.

Alternatively, the clause would only be enforceable for communications that are directly addressed to MPs or party members. If you publish something openly, or to a subscription service, then, when challenged, you could simply say "You weren't meant to read that, it was aimed at the general public/academic community only".

Unfortunately, due to the poor wording, we'll have to wait for the courts to work it out.
