It seems like this is the real world equivalent of the design that has to go into social software.

It's a universal rule of the public Internet that spam and abuse make everything suck. Therefore it's not enough that your design encourages good usage. It also has to discourage bad usage.
That's like expecting to type out an essay perfect the first time. It's perfectly normal to write a draft and iterate on it many, many times until it gets good.

Sure, but insider trading is illegal. So let's say you can only rely on publicly available info, which everyone else has.

Then "unique insight" is financial analysis, plus macroeconomic analysis, etc.

In other words, if everyone have access to the same info, you can only consistently do better than the market by consistently having better analysis than the market. Everyone is seeing the same info, so you don't do better by seeing some piece of info others are not seeing, but by using different weights in your analysis than the market is using.

And even in those cases, the market might stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

You complain against punishment, but you seem to be accepting of people already being punished for having been failed by their society in the first place.
So change it :)

Usually one of the first things I do when I set up a new router is generate two random numbers between 0-254 (say, 218 and 133) and make the local subnet:

10.218.133.0/24

I frequently VPN to other private networks, and when the local/remote address spaces overlap, like when both are 192.168.1.1/24, then the VPN has problems.

Yea defintely this. One of the comments is the story of Derek Sivers and cdbaby. His blog post doesn't request anything of you but claims a "simple life" is superior. What it really doesn't do is explain that he will never have to work another day in his life, will always have a nice place to live and food. He worked hard for his wealth but having someone in that position preach the "minimal life" is a little silly. It's easy to not worry when you don't have anything to worry about.

GNU Wget

I've learned to know that's never true, and even when people "know", often they don't actually know in a non-abstract sense.
Wow, I know Google knows a lot about me, but apparently it can predict that I'll use Telegram on March 15, 2016 at 4:53 AM!

Better in what way? Performance wise, perhaps but that's only one aspect of why someone might pick one language over another.

Even distilling better down to just the max throughput you can get for a solution in a language vs another is hard to do as a lot also depends on how the code ends up being written and how easy you want to be able to debug that solution. You can solve this stuff in C many ways with different performance characteristics.
At scale it may be more efficient to write the system in a higher level language (saving time) and then spending some time tuning only the slowest parts, instead of building everything from the start to be highly optimized, even the parts which may not need it (investing time where it may not produce results).

And the improvements to Go that they drove will help everyone.

I happen to prefer C, but I understand why they did it the way they did it.
It makes it a lot more concrete for me. I can see not only all of my search activity, browsing etc, but also that my partner has done on our shared tablet. It's creepy. But it did make me aware of a Chrome setting to disable activity tracking. I'll change that as soon as I get home.
I turned on "Web and App Activity" and those items didn't then appear in my timeline. That might indicate that they don't but I doubt it.
GNU Wget before 1.18 when supplied with a malicious URL (to a malicious or
compromised web server) can be tricked into saving an arbitrary remote file
supplied by an attacker, with arbitrary contents and filename under
the current directory and possibly other directories by writing to .wgetrc.
Depending on the context in which wget is used, this can lead to remote code
execution and even root privilege escalation if wget is run via a root cronjob
as is often the case in many web application deployments.

Rely on gravity and put the non-critical tank underneath the critical tank. Make sure to make the critical tank a much lower melting point than the non-critical tank. Burst diaphragms (well, low melting point plugs, like steam boilers have used for a few centuries now).

Possibly you're confusing "inherently safe" with "it can't break or become uneconomical". Also talking about inherently safe plants, usually they're talking physics, an inattentive enough electrician could probably find a way to put his hand across the output of an alternator, there's just nothing "nuclear" about those kind of accidents other than the worksite happening to be a plant.

Inherently safe just means you can't have a Chernobyl because water doesn't burn as well as charcoal. Its inherently very difficult to set PWR moderator on fire (water) compared to the Chernobyl experience (graphite, more or less purified coal). Although its against the spirit of the linked article, the PWR "near" my house inherently can't have a sodium leak because it doesn't use sodium as a coolant.
At my company everyone gets 3 weeks, nonnegotiable. But they let you supplement it with unpaid leave, which works out to the approximately the same thing if you get a corresponding pay raise.

I guess other companies are probably frequently less accommodating.
I must confess to having a more cynical view than that. I dimly recall some quotation (I cannot recall enough of it to Google it successfully) about somebody being naked, covered in dirt, surrounded by flies, and thinking it's normal. I concur that it describes our current state of computing, and that opinion is based upon the contrast between the non-mainstream technology I've been privileged to use and mainstream technology that circumstances have (more or less) forced me to use.

It's 15 years beyond 2001 - where is my HAL-9000? There are thousands of times more computing power in my kids' cell phones [insert obligatory reference to cat pictures here] than the computer I shared with 20 other geeks at MIT. The hardware guys have done their jobs - we software guys (for reasons that are probably worth discussing) have not.

My hobby stuff ("it's a hobby until you get paid") is done in Common Lisp wherever possible.

Yeah, that's somewhat related to sensitivity analysis that's already in the list.

Though I think I'd agree that it's technically a different model, but related.
The lesson here is when choosing your new file format's magic bytes, don't use your initials or something clever. Have the decency to use a few actual random bytes as your format's identifier.

For plain text files, it's a little bit different, but there's no excuse for this problem happening in a binary file format.

Switching topics, I'm imagining a solution to this problem where you don't actually know which format it is, you have a streaming processor for each thing it could be, and feed it to each processor one character at a time. Whenever a processor returns an error, drop it from the list. If the last processor in the list returns and error, report that error to the user along with which format that processor was for. If multiple peocessors complete successfully, you'll have to either rank them, or ask the user what format it is.
Ahh... It's so satisfying to see the stream of everything I was doing on Android suddenly stop when I switched to Cyanogenmod and not linked my e-mail account.

The trick was to use K-9 Mail. Otherwise, when configuring the e-mail (Gmail), the default mail application adds the entire Google account and the link to the mothership is reestablished. Although I have installed GApps, I transitioned to a dummy account per device plus Xprivacy, plus NetGuard.

Long before Android, the stream had dropped to a trickle when I started sandboxing the Google account to a special session for Gmail. Everything else, searches, youtube went on an incognito window or to a separate Firefox profile.

I knew it to be effective from the constant e-mails I was getting that "Google does not recognize your sign-on". Guess what, Google, I want it that way! Now myactivity.google.com confirms it.

Show HN: A lightweight, responsive simple grid component for React

I occurs to me that I reported the things that were most interesting for me to work on, not necessarily most interesting in any other way. Maybe people would think it's interesting that I wrote the first version of the code in MacOS 9 that gave the QuickTime MoviePlayer the brushed metal look. That was during the period that I above described as a bunch of stuff that wasn't very interesting to me, but the brushed metal thing might be interesting to people who have used QuickTime.

I happened to be in the QuickTime group just then, and my boss said, "Steve has said Let there be brushed metal. Make it happen."

So I scratched my head and remembered that I had had a NeXT machine for several years and there was some piece of NeXT UI that had a brushed metal looking thing in it. Surely Steve must approve of the NeXT brushed metal? So I rummaged around and captured an image of that thing (I don't remember what it was; something to do with WebObjects, maybe?) and looked at the image in Photoshop or Studio 8 or something. I copied out a likely looking chunk of that image of brushed metal and fiddled with it in the graphic editor, changing the size and tweaking individual pixels until I got it to tile without obvious visual repetition.

Then I wrote a little piece of code that blitted that pattern into arbitrary areas and checked it in to the MoviePlayer sources and then MoviePlayer windows had brushed metal. Tom Dowdy made it faster. That was his job. He was QuickTime's make-the-C-code-even-faster guy. He was the nicest guy in the universe, but I can be so unintentionally irritating sometimes that I once provoked him to yell at me. Sorry, Tom.

After that, all of Apple's stuff had brushed metal. I suspect that the Apple brushed metal that you see everywhere now may not be my code. I was working on MoviePlayer for MacOS 9, and the code for Mac OS X was mostly separate.
The "it's not clear" quote was just excessive caution when Microsoft announced Xbox One support. It's turned out fine!
"Minimalism" isn't the same as being poor.

To be honest I don't think your first point is accurate. People aren't poor, because they spend a lot of money, they are poor because they don't have a lot of money.

To say that you can lift yourself and your family out of poverty by saving money, makes not a lot of sense. And lot's of the items that one would perceive as unnecessary from a financially comfortable position, don't maybe look that way when you're in the situation yourself. Sure, eating beans everyday might save you money, but then you've spent your life eating beans, and in the end that wasn't the deciding factor.

That said, there are many people ( and I agree with you, our society as a whole probably does) who live above their means continually, I just don't think that that's a problem that's confined to poor people. You said

> It's well established that poorer [...] are generally worse at allocating the resources they do have.

Would you mind expanding on that a little, or link me to some material that you've found useful ?
There's a difference between going out and buying new stuff and not getting rid of existing stuff. The first costs actual money, the second only costs space. Depending on how much space costs relative to the stuff that's stored in it, keeping stuff around might be perfectly rational or even optimal.

It's not guaranteed to be so by any means, though.
How did you find / decide on the smaller town to live in?
Did you save up a lot of money before moving there incase things didn't pan out in finding a job (were you certain you could find work/provide value fixing the towns computers before you moved there?).

The definition of "criminal treatment" is precisely the point here. Merely calling it criminal doesn't make it so.
He had me agreeing at first, but the blog at least kinda devolved into a highly numbered breakdown of the impossibility of total test coverage. As I said in my post, and the blog seemed to echo, I accept that an integration test is a sign that unit tests are not sufficient, but I didn't see a compelling argument in his blog as to how perfect unit test coverage (sufficient to not integration test the _happy path_, not all things ever) is obtained.

I certainly can see the situation he's describing, but it feels like he goes on to expand it into a pathological strawman (ALL the unit tests EVERYWHERE testing EVERYTHING run at EVERY BUILD) more than a situation you manage a little more smartly. (As the oft-hammered quote, these things are all tools, the moment one stops not being useful/stops being worth the cost, we stop using it)
Strange, it's not showing any of my YouTube activity, and that's the Google service I use the most.

Probably, but what will it achieve realistically? This (both what OP reports and this locale-dependent behaviour) is likely a WONTFIX type of bug, as there are workarounds (don't double-click to open normal CSV if you are in a locale where different delimiters are used, use import; don't start your CSV files with "ID"; etc.).
I know China has a lot of protectionism, but I have not heard of it being difficult to get your software/app into other Asian countries. Which ones have a lot of protectionism in terms of software/app stores?
That’s fair. We think it’s important to be able to reference anything within the system with arbitrary resolution, so that’s our goal. Whether that implements well or not is certainly a technical challenge, but hard problems are the fun ones, right?

I suspect anyone suspected of "moral courage" never makes it to the higher reaches of the civil service or the military.

Well there are people who make $100k living paycheck to paycheck and there are people who make $40k but spend even less and as such grow their assets.

Being poor is a thing you can dig yourself out of but it takes a huge amount of energy to do so. It's excruciating to not spend on comfort when you're uncomfortable but that's what it takes. Which is probably why so few people manage to "pull themselves up by their boot straps"
If you extend OR to theories you should select the one that has the least ad-hoc hypotheses (or the smallest set of auxiliary hypotheses in the Lakatos sense). In other words one could argue that theories get "worse" with more auxiliary hypotheses so from a scientific process point of view if you diligently falsify and force the creation of more auxiliary hypotheses you can weaken a theory enough for a (more elegant) alternative to take its place.

Reducing expenses is a far worse strategy than increasing earnings. There's usually not a lot of wiggle-room for expenses and there's a limit to how much you can reduce, whereas there's almost no limit to increasing earnings. It can be as simple as switching jobs.

This looks very cool. When I was a kid I spent many an afternoon programming robots in RoboWar, which used a simple stack machine processor with a bunch of special instructions and registers for doing robot-y things. I think I enjoyed that (and TIS-100 also, which you mentioned) because it provides all the fun puzzle-y nature of programming without having to learn a big API or complex language. Using a "foreign" language / machine architecture also helps separate the game from reality, which I think is important.
You also have Excelsior[0], which provides full Java AOT (ahead-of-time) compilation to native machine code.

I'm glad to see this data provided back to me, however, I'm very concerned about Google knowing absolutely everything I do while on the web and on my Android device.

- Used Messenger app, sent X messages

- Used maps, with location data, search data

- Use phone, with number of calls

- Used (Any installed app) included how often and what I did.

I've since turned everything off.

While browsing on my phone last night I saw a new Google.com feature where they were using my email address to try sign me up to email lists at the top of search results.... Not cool.

Oh, that kind of made up subsidy. I was writing about the real ones.

The problem with made up subsidies is they can be carried to content free absurdity. So providing election donation funds to a candidate opposing condom distribution in schools is a subsidy because it increases crude consumption for 75 years when a kid pops out and starts consuming.
Even that is minimally helpful. You can't exclude non-verified reviews in search or overall rating. You can't believe that they're in any way helpfully independent - it would be the easiest thing in the world to seed your shoddy product's life on Amazon with verified reviews from employees and friends. I've seen reviews on some products that seems to indicate this is happening at least sometimes.

Having lost trust it is going to be near impossible to regain it. You mention the Amazon/Kindle brand - they don;t, from the way they are managing it, appear to care very much about it. I used to believe the bad ebook formatting was an early days teething issue, but years later it is still relatively common.
We're screwed.

(Not really, at least not yet, but still...)
Same here. In my case, I'd bet it's because I still use my old profile from before the G+ merger (I never agreed to use the new one, despite their insistence).
It's even worse due to all the dark patterns Google adds. For example Maps will refuse to locally store your previous searches if you don't let google keep your location history, making the use of application extremely frustrating.

Trying to use Google Fit, Now, etc. will keep popping up requests to let Google constantly track your location and web searches with o clear way to disable those annoyances. And more and more.
