>The reason why government should forbid it is not to protect the individual that's agreeing to give away their data, but to protect society from the externalities of those transactions when they occur en masse.

And now please explain to me what sort of voluntary agreement does not have negative externalities when it occurs en masse! Voluntary agreements inevitably create markets and markets have well known negative externalities. Even the democratic process itself has negative externalities. On that basis you can ban everything.

I'm not against all regulation, but your justification is way too general. It leads straight into authoritarianism.

To answer the other half of your question (mafribe already said why the moons are tectonically active): what's needed for heating due to tidal friction is not only strong gravity, but a strong gravity gradient that changes over time.

I was doing some back-of-the-envelope calculations just now to show how Io experiences much more tidal stress than Mercury due to a stronger change in gradient, when I discovered my assumptions were wrong, but I'm posting the results anyway:

Mercury's orbit has a huge eccentricity, and its distance to the sun varies between 0.47 AU at Aphelion and 0.307 AU at Perihelion. Taking Mercury's size into account, that should work out to a difference in solar gravity between its near and far side of about 0.000004 m/s^2 at Aphelion and 0.000013 m/s^2 at Perihelion! That's actually quite the squeeze!

Now comparing that to Io, which has often been reported as having this wild orbit, upon looking up the actual numbers I saw that Io's orbit around Jupiter is actually nearly circular: 420000km at Periapsis and 423400km at Apoapsis. The moon itself has a radius of 1800km, that means its orbit is so circular its variation falls within the size of the actual moon. Furthermore, plugging in the numbers, Io's gravity gradient between its near and far side remains pretty much stable at 0.000014 m/s^2 no matter where it is, varying only by a factor of about -1.37x10^-08.

So the gradient change itself is not dramatic in Io, but reasonably pronounced in Mercury - didn't expect that. Taking a look at the orbital period of both objects, Io completes about 50 orbits in the same time it takes Mercury to orbit once, but even a factor of 50 isn't enough to blow up Io's tidal action to make up for the observed difference in tidal heating.

My only conclusion at this point is that I either made a careless mistake somewhere (which is likely) or that Io's squeezing action must come almost entirely from its interaction with the other Jupiter moons.

In the end, a heat source is not required for Mercury to experience tectonic activity though. As described in the article, the cooling and shrinking of the planet itself are sufficient to cause disturbances on the surface.

German law requires to use opt-in, i.e. the default setting of agreements to transfer data to other parties must be 'no' (or the checkbox must be empty). That way, it is very easy to make sure there is explicit consent to transfer of data, and the service provider can't hide it in the TOS. Of course, the service provider is also free to limit or close its services to users that do not consent.
That is actually what the German data protection watchdog refers to: the WhatsApp setting that controls if the data is transmitted is by default enabled (opt-out), but should be disabled (opt-in).

1. In my experience, managers in professional fields don't make vastly more money than the people below them. If it's an addition of responsibilities, I would ask for more money. If it's just a change, then does it make sense to ask for more money?

2. Learn, try and find a good mentor, get feedback, and set objective goals.

The hardest part about management is playing the carrot and stick game without turning a report's life into a carrot and stick game.

Almost everything I've ever learned started with a Google search. I'm 30 now - I started using it when I was 15 - and since I didn't have a lot of friends or stuff happening growing up, I spent hours browsing. A lot of porn, but also a lot of random stuff I was curious about. I kind of stopped believing the words of people around me and chose to believe everything I read instead. Over time I did develop a better sense of what's credible and what's not.

By the way I've always had the idea of a credibility plugin to a browser that rates the credibility level of everything you visit.

Sometimes I judge someone based on how they search. If they're typing out a whole question, perfect punctuation: not a good sign.

As a former long-time user of Windows Phone, it's not "unaddicting" in a way that's boring. There are plenty of apps to waste your time with. It's just that you don't need to. When I used Windows Phone, I didn't need to open an app to see the weather, or to see my text message, or to see my email. The live tiles made sure I could see all of that from the home screen. One glance across the screen and I knew everything I needed to know. Time, weather, headlines, new emails, new text messages, new Facebook posts, new tweets, next calendar appointment, and at the bottom, rotating pictures of my family. All without swiping, scrolling, tapping, or opening any apps. Ten seconds and I could lock the screen and get on with my day.

There's no other OS on the market that lets you do this.

Yes, it is practically impossible, the same way there was a duopoly of desktop computers in the 90s and 2000s. Similarly to that era, there will be niche players (OS/2, desktop linux then, windows 10 mobile now), but the vast majority of the software and hardware will run the dominant OSes.

Hey, at least it isn't a monopoly and one of the OSes is freeish. Freedom wise, hardware is behind, but the software is ahead (of the desktop market).

You could engineer #3 to work, but the big trouble is that occasionally someone will reinstall their web server from scratch (on purpose or as part of disaster recovery), lose the key, and expect not to lose their website permanently. I have yet to see any organization that deals usefully with changed SSH keys and communicates them properly instead of "oh yeah, we changed that, delete it from known_hosts and it'll be fine", and organizations that use SSH are more likely to know what they're doing than the average Internet site (in fact I count MIT's CS department as one of the guilty parties). An internet-wide equivalent of "yeah, just delete example.com from your known_hosts" is essentially an internet-wide announcement of "yeah, plz start MITMing example.com".

The Programmer Competency Matrix also offers an interesting perspective on the topic:

http://sijinjoseph.com/programmer-competency-matrix/
I suspect the bimodal distribution for programming and law have the same explanation: a group of highly profitable firms targeting a subset of the overall industry have imposed a de facto hiring floor that limits supply, raising wages.[1]

Why is Cravath raising salaries while 85% of legal grads are taking jobs making half or less of its old salary scale? Because it has a hiring floor. It won't hire lawyers that aren't at least one standard deviation, if not more, from the mean.[2] Their demand is high--each lawyer generates on average $1.3 million in revenue--and supply is limited to the 10-15% of the market that meets the hiring filter.

I suspect the same is true in the tech industry. Google, Facebook, etc. don't hire candidates who can "do the job." Like in law, there is this idea that it's important not just to have competent programmers, but programmers who are smarter than your competitors' programmers. These firms limit their pool of hires to those who, by their metrics, are one or even two standard deviations away from the mean.[3]

Meanwhile, everyone else is willing to hire the median programmer. They can do the job, and there isn't the same idea in that segment that it's worth paying much more to have people who can not only do the job, but do it faster/better than your competition.

[1] How this group of highly profitable firms continues to exist despite market competition is outside the scope of this post.

[2] Cravath measures that as a function of law school rank and class rank. No comment on the validity of this model.

[3] Again, no comment on whether going to CMU and acing interview puzzles makes you a top programmer. What matters is that these firms think it does.

> Why are they not transparent like finance guys, lawyers, doctors etc

In the world of top-tier law firms the "transparency" actually works against the incoming lawyers. You notice the quote in TFA: "Cravath announced that it would pay first-year associates $180k, and many other firms followed suit"? I see that as an implicit agreement to fix prices among these top law firms. I'm sure they're not foolish enough to actually collude on salaries, but Cravath knows exactly what it's doing when it says to the world "this is what we're paying our employees, sound good?"

Because consumer choice is a very weak weapon against your freedoms being taken away. Political action is what corporations fear, in particular the threat of organized support behind ideas to regulate them more heavily.

Yep all very true.

I believe the salary listed here is pre-tax so the take home pay (for someone living in Stockholm) would be 30 330 Kr/m or $42.5k/yr.

This number excludes social costs; the total cost per month for the employer is just over 55 000 SEK/m.

As far as I understand the history of 3D APIs, the very early GL-like APIs (in the IrisGL and Silicon Graphics days), were quite closely modelled to the hardware, e.g. the hardware was a state machine with many individual knobs and gears which were manipulated by the many different OpenGL functions.

Over time GPUs became more and more like universal (but heavily parallelized) CPUs with less and less fixed-function-parts, especially after the introduction of vertex- and pixel-shaders

OpenGL's model matched the underlying hardware less and less, which lead to a lot of software complexity in the driver layer (e.g. changing a single render state would lead to re-building big blocks of associated state). This was when the new APIs like D3D12, Vulkan and Metal were introduced which basically rebootet the complicated driver software layer and are again closer to what the underlying GPU hardware looks like.

Hopefully the evolution continues and in a few years the software translation layer will be gone completely, and the GPUs will be exposed just as an instruction set and memory model, like regular CPUs today.
Note that "Kubernetes The Hard Way" is mostly focused on teaching you what happens during cluster bootstrap.

It is NOT a production-ready setup in any form. You should investigate which alternatives exist for your platform (e.g. GKE for Google Cloud, kops for AWS).

The issue is where the money is coming from.

Since this is an international agreement, you'd have to tax ALL carbon producers around the world. How you divide that tax revenue between the different countries would then be a political game but much simpler than creating a whole new market for carbon credits. Again, tax the carbon at the source and it won't matter weather it's refined, burned directly, or turned into plastic products, carbon out of the ground will all be taxed at the same rate to discourage it's unearthing. You say I'm oversimplifying a complex issue, but I'd argue that others are making it a complex issue when in fact it's conceptually very simple.

I'm curious how much faster a Core solution runs compared to it's predecessors, and how many libraries you can really shed.
I think it's a bit of both nurture/nature. In hindsight it was obvious that I would be a programmer even though I didn't have much access to a computer until college. Growing up I gravitated towards math/science, loved any sort of problem solving, and enjoyed things that many would consider tedious (building model WW2 naval ships with my grandfather for example). I did have a Nintendo that was in a constant state of being taken apart, but it did work most of the time :) When I finally had school computer time starting around middle school, they literally had to drag me off of them. Trying commands, tinkering, etc... was just...fun.

None of my friends (or parents for that matter) understood because they were mostly jocks with a few artists types mixed in. But, my friends never cared as long as they could get me out of the house to play whatever sport was in season.
