Man, UCS-2 is the pits. I still remember fighting with 'slim-builds' of python back in the day.

Any critique of unicode while not assuming UTF-8, which allows for more than 1 million code points) is a bit suspect in my opinion. The biggest point against UTF-8 might be that it takes more space than 'local' encodings for asian languages.
I'm not convinced that UBI would be canceled out by inflation (although I agree with GP that it would likely be captured by landlords). This is all extremely speculative, but my intuition is that in the population where UBI would have the most impact on spending power, the money would mostly replace or pay down debt rather than become new demand. Meanwhile you’re replacing almost all need-based aid, so for many people actual incomes aren’t rising as much as it seems.

Then further up the scale, the smaller a portion of your income UBI represents the more of it will be invested/saved rather than spent. Maybe you take a vacation you otherwise wouldn’t, or replace your car a little sooner, but most of it is going towards the mortgage, retirement account or the kids college fund.

So I obviously don’t have any numbers for this, and I’m not saying UBI is the answer or necessarily even a good idea. But I see no reason to believe the outcomes wouldn’t be way more complex than just pushing up a demand curve.
You basically are betting for the same outcome in two different ways, full exposure. I don't see how this is arbitrage.
I think it's more of an illustration that for better or worse, most software developers just want to hack, and are willfully ignorant of what they consider peripheral concerns.
I can't use my car's GPS because the car is from Japan and it has Japanese language only and only maps of Japan. And you can't just download map of any other country, and you can't even change the language.

So, yes, I'd better use my phone's GPS: maps are always up-to-date, I can choose between Google Maps and Apple Maps (or any other), can select any language.

As someone who as a student was good at math and bad at physics, I'd rather disagree. Take for example the gravity formula F_{A->B} = G * M_A * M_B/d(A,B)^3. It's very easy to interpret that, but where does that come from? I can see why the gravity gets lower when the distance between A and B is higher, but why does it depend of the inverse of the cube of the distance? The formula is very easy to read, but since I didn't know where it came from, I would forget easily.

On the other hand, it would have been intellectually pleasing(at least for me) to know how Physicists came with it, what's the motivation behind 1/d(A,B)^3, how did people come up with G, how it was measured, etc.

Fun fact: this was the early 1960s. CCD technology and IP transmission bitrates were a bit primitive[1], so the film cameras would eject capsules after they'd been shot, which would re-enter the atmosphere and be recovered, most through mid-air retrieval. The project was active from 1959 to 1972.

You aren't really the exception, instead you're just fortunate enough to have one of the few in-dash navigation systems which isn't absolutely terrible.

Most of the features you've named are exactly what Android Auto/Carplay provide, but without limiting you to just a single maps/navigation vendor.

You're likely leasing that vehicle for 1-3 years. Do you think that if you purchased that 4-series that the navigation would still be updated and solid by the end of its 9-15 year vehicle lifespan? I certainly don't. But I do an apps platform like carplay/android auto will continue to provide quality apps for at least that long.

13 years ago, reviews like this one graced the mainstream Swedish press: http://www.svd.se/fran-svenskhet-till-delaktighet-7NY3

It's about a book by an activist-turned-politician-turned-author who spent a few weeks living in one of those places (Rosengård) after several well-publicized incidents, trying to understand their causes. The book's title is a reference to rock-throwing immigrant youths; they mostly seem to target police cars, but ambulances, fire brigades and other ethnicities than their own are also at risk. It's still going on.

I wasn't talking about this particular concern (which I agree with as being severe). Mine is with the mindset behind "perfect security" leading to worse security, that's all.
This is a reasonable argument, given the headers says "

However, the problem you have here is there literally can be no implied license when an explicit one is offered.
You can't say "i take the bsd and implied patent license".

So if you want to take it without the additional rights grant, you can.
But you won't get patent rights, because they have offered them to you explicitly under a different license.
No worries, appreciate what information you could give :)

Each fall I teach a mini-course for our physics majors who want to take the Physics GRE. The trouble is that you can't do well on the test if you just go in and try to solve as many questions as you can: it's 100 questions in 170 minutes, and many (most?) of the questions look like full fledged homework questions (that would take even a pretty good student 5-10 minutes to solve, or sometimes much longer). Instead, you need to learn all of the common tricks and shortcuts that the test writers expect you to know and use (including things like checking the units on all of the multiple choice answers to eliminate some choices, or testing that the choices have the right limits like time->0 or mass->infinity).

It's a pretty obnoxious test, to be honest. Once you've learned the types of strategies to use, the GRE is testing something meaningful about physics knowledge and intuition, but I don't know how well that something correlates with either "successful in classes" or "successful in research".

Thanks for the background info, and I think you have a good point about carrying capacity degradation. I don't think "degradation" is a single variable though--it's a trade off current well-being, future well-being, and for a lack of a better word, "nature". We can absolutely provide a high standard of living for 9-11 billion people, but to do so we have to discard our desire to "preserve" the world as it is and actively take control of it to a far greater extent than we do now, i.e. large scale geoengineering.

This article was written before UTF-8 became the de-facto standard. According to Wikipedia, UTF-8 encodes each of the 1,112,064 valid code points. Much more than Goundry's (the author's) 170,000. Goundry's only complaint against UTF-8 is that at the time, it was one of three possible encoding formats that might work. Since it has now been widely embraced, the complaint is no longer valid.

In short, Unicode will work just fine on the internet in 2016 as far as encoding all the characters goes. Problems having to do with how ordinal numbers are used, right-to-left languages, upper-case/lower-case anomalies, different glyphs being used for the same letter depending on the letter's position in the word (and many other realities of language and script differences) all need to be in the forefront of a developer's mind when trying to build a multi-lingual site.
The problem with Android Auto, at least by the test I saw done by c't magazine is that it doesn't always work. It's a M android device to N cars relationship, creating a lot of combinations that need to be tested. At least in the test I saw if it worked depended on the phone. Pretty much the same problem miracast has and why google probably developed the chromecast.

I guess MirrorLink is trying to solve that problem by more thorough testing.
The papers you've cited make essentially the opposite case as your comment does. Chetty's work suggests that a single year of teaching under a high quality teacher raises the lifetime earnings expectation of a student by $50,000.

> Begs the question of, homes where. Public housing, hotel rooms, condominiums, remote cabins, camps, shelters, the devil is in those details.

There are a wide variety of options. One which has historically worked well in Europe is to provide an area of shipping containers converted into simple homes with a shower, toilet, cot, and padlock on the door.

> "Homeless" is a euphemism, more of a metonym for a cluster of issues that form an identifiable other.

No, "homeless" is not a fucking euphemism. It means "without a home", just like "jobless" means "without a job" and "hopeless" means "without hope" and "grasp-on-reality-less" means "without a grasp on reality".

> Rich people need permits, licenses, planning permission, and community consent to build homes. Tent dwellers, not so much.

These permits, licenses, planning permission, and are community consent are necessary to prevent people with a wide variety of options from making decisions that harm other people.

Tent dwellers arguably cause harm to others by being there, but they don't have other options. The voluntarily homeless are few and far between.

The two kinds of laws are incomparable: one seeks to limit the harm done by people with too much power, while the other tries to write out of existence the only option a group of people have.

I haven't done anything like that first hand, and this response might not be useful, but FWIW I have browsed many profile on LinkedIn (mostly stackexchange users and HN folks who make it public, and the related ones) and I was quite surprised to see many have done something similar - taken a demotion to join startups. I was further surprised that their next job was at a more established megacorp at a level comparable to the original one. By this observation it seems not to be a problem. However, I don't quite know if they had it easy or had to negotiate a bit, both for the position and the salary.

And until 2003 (and RFC 3629 which neutered it to match UTF-16) UTF-8 enabled 2,147,483,648 characters (2^31).

I totally get your point, and agree.

CarPlay/Android Auto certainly improve quality on average for most cars, but I'm not convinced they will solve the problem of outdated technology.

I previous had a Mercedes with "Apple Certified Connectivity" which was great, until they switched to lightning cables and the connectivity broke.

Whilst I'm sure CarPlay/Android Auto will last longer, I don't believe there won't be any breaking changes in future that will break compatibility. Given that we replace phones a lot faster than cars I can see a future where there are cars which only support CarPlay version X, and the standard is now version Y.

At that point you then end up with no navigation or media, because you aren't going to use an older phone just to have it work with your older car.
TLS cipher suites have five parts:

1. key exchange:
PSK - for embedded only
RSA - obsolete because it doesn't provide PFS
DHE - secure only if 2048 bits and up
ECDHE - usually using P-256, secure
ECDHE with Curve25519, called "X25519" - secure
CECPQ1 - Google experiment in post quantum crypto
2. authentication:
PSK - for embedded only
RSA encryption/decryption - obsolete because it doesn't provide PFS
RSA signing and verification - secure if keys are 2048 bits and up
ECDSA signing and verification - usually over P-256, secure
EdDSA signing and verification - draft standard, uses Curve25519 and Curve448, secure
3. cipher (for confidentiality):
RC4 - disallowed
3DES - obsolete because of sweet32
AES-128 - good, requires AES hardware to be both fast and secure
AES-256 - same as AES-128 but is required for post-quantum and against parallel attacks on many keys
CHACHA20 - good, is fast on generic hardware
4. MAC (to protect against tampering which usually breaks confidentiality):
HMAC-MD5 - obsolete
HMAC-SHA1 - ok
HMAC-SHA256 and HMAC-SHA384 - no more secure than SHA1 for this use case
GCM - faster than HMAC, requires CLMUL CPU instruction to be fast
POLY-1305 - fast and secure on generic hardware
5. KDF used to generate symmetric keys:
MD5+SHA1 - obsolete, probably ok
HMAC-SHA1 - ok
HMAC-SHA256 and HMAC-SHA384 - no more secure than SHA1 for this use case

Originally 5 was the same as 4 and was not specified separately. Also, many details omitted.

But anyway, chacha20-poly1305 is actually one of these [1]:

TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_PSK_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_ECDHE_PSK_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_RSA_PSK_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256

and you use only the first two from the list. The "ECDHE" part can be regular ECDHE with P-256 or X25519.

Sorry, where does article [2] show a lack of correlation between low-cost college and low-income enrollment? The only comment that seemed relevant was the following, which implied the opposite:

"In addition to less educational mobility, the United States, along with Japan, Germany, Austria and Estonia, has "less equitable access" to higher education, meaning that it's harder for people with lower socioeconomic status to attend college, the OECD's Schleicher said. That contrasts with countries such as Finland, Ireland, Australia and the Netherlands, which have both more equitable access to education and higher educational mobility, he said."
