I'm curious what you find ludicrous about the argument. I claim the poor are predominantly no-income people and disproportionately violent. The violence includes all sorts of violence with no economic motive, e.g. intimate partner violence. The Census and BJS support this claim. Do you disagree?

The rhetorical strategy is very simple: pointing out that duaneb did not disagree with me on this. He just clumsily redefined his terms so as to avoid the facts I presented - e.g. redefining lazy to mean "desk job" rather than "no job" in a manner that renders his parent comment nonsensical.

Consider the possibility that I'm not selling duaneb anything; the target of my comments might instead be the moderate people persuaded by facts.

Punishments need to be out of proportion to the financial damages they do when they erode public trust, which is a good held in common (and the key to prosperity in the west).

This is why someone who runs a charity scam should be punished more than someone who simply mugs people.
I lived in SF briefly and noticed the presence of WF everywhere in CA. I am from NYC, so Chase and Citi are more likely to be around. Just curious about "but no other bank can fill its shoes in terms of online services and ubiquity." I don't have that experience with other banks - I find the right agent and I get the right service, not every time, but definitely there are good people I can work with. Mind to clarify your experience with other banks?

My biggest issue is the lack of control over routing in general. I've several times been in the position where all routes on the navigation device pass through the road in front of me, yet I'm sitting in the car looking at a road closure. At that point I know there's a way round the obstruction, but the navigation is of no use in finding it.

A simple "don't use this road" marker seems to me like a really useful feature, yet I've never seen it in any of the satellite navigation systems I've used.

Wrong. Most of the world is on 3G and wifi:

https://opensignal.com/reports/2016/08/global-state-of-the-m...

Many "developing" countries never even deployed 2G and dial-up to any great extent. They were simply too poor to build large-scale telephone network infrastructure. When they did start getting connectivity in the late 1990s and 2000s, they were able to skip straight to the latest generation of technology.

This is a pattern we see all over the world — the wealth advantage of "developed" nations is offset by their historical investment in infrastructure that is no longer state-of-the-art.

For example, the London Underground has been in operation for over a hundred years. The newest bits are great, but the oldest parts are hamstrung by design decisions made in the Victorian era. Whereas, when China builds a new metro, it's able to build every part of it to modern standards, applying the accumulated knowledge from building those earlier metros.

> You're not punishing them just because they're female; you are rationally incorporating the increased risk of them being indisposed due to pregnancy into your calculations.

Perhaps the latter is the intention but as far as I can tell it does not prevent the former from happening.

> Whatever nice ideals we have about gender equality, there are often practical statistical differences between genders, and it's OK to recognize and use that information.

I suppose this is our fundamental disagreement then.

I recognize that there may be additional costs or burdens to businesses and even other consumers if companies are forced to ignore statistically relevant details in the name of equality. However, this is a price I am willing to pay to live in what I consider a civilized society.

In a way this thinking even prevents social mobility. After all, if you are poor, it's less likely you would have a good education or upbringing, so is it okay for companies to discriminate against the poor? Feel free to accuse me of being an idealist, but I would rather we strive to live in a society where people are judged for who they are and not their race, sex, or other things which are completely out of their control.

Ah, but those are disallowed by spec and in the former case you'd open a security bug against anything that didn't transform it to U+FFFD or similar (eg. it lets you sneak '\0's into C-style strings and '/'s into unix paths).

So I'll grant you a point but could match that against similar problems in UTF-16 (bad surrogate pairs, surrogate singletons, BOM bombs, and the same invalid code units).

Only in a relatively minor way though. The ruling states the President can remove the head at will, rather than requiring cause. American Banker actually had an editorial about this being bad for banks--it decreases the predictability of the agency. It does make it easier for a compromised President to favor a bank-friendly director though. They only need one to gut it now.

I have CarPlay in my 2016 VW Golf R and the only map app that shows up is Apple Maps. I can still use Google Maps; I just plan my route on that app, and then bring up Apple Maps in CarPlay if I need to actually see a map. Google Maps continues to send driving directions through the car audio system even while Apple Maps is displayed. Still hoping Google Maps becomes an authorized CarPlay app eventually.
It sounds like there's a problem with the incentive structure for the company. Ideally, the threat of a lawsuit should incentivize the company to address the problem; but the HR department acted as though addressing the problem would increase its legal liability. But I don't know enough about sexual harassment law to understand what causes this. Maybe addressing the problem would mean acknowledging it exists, and acknowledging it exists would make it harder to defend against a lawsuit? Would it be possible to reform the laws around sexual harassment so that the HR department actually has incentives to side with victims?
As a former employee, I can say it's totally different than it used to be. Everyone associated with the problems has been shown the door, major house cleaning. The atmosphere is much more serious now, it's a completely different company.

That said, many early employees would have corrected these problems if they were widely known. It was not the lax environment some articles made us out to be. Everyone had to pull their weight and we were very serious about getting everything right. It was a huge disappointment to discover that some department leads allowed this stuff to exist, reducing the value of the many late nights myself and others put in.
Neal Stephenson wrote a bit about this in Cryptonomicon; laying new undersea cable is both expensive and time consuming, but the cost of cutting existing ones is fairly low. So if any sufficiently-funded individual, corporation, or nation-state wanted to hold a gun to the world's head, cutting undersea data cables wouldn't be a bad way to do it.

The problem is, you can't make that kind of threat in a subtle way, so to consider something like it you would have to be some kind of international pariah with a warmongering streak and a history of 'lying in plain sight' about your own nefarious deeds.

Edit: Okay, we're in better shape today than we were in the '90s and cutting off Cyprus' internet wouldn't cripple the world, but we still don't have THAT many cables running across the Atlantic and Pacific.

> that require the government to cease doing business with financial establishments convicted of criminal offenses.

I guess that's why most of those settlements are worded so that there is no criminal offence. As in, "Company X agrees to pay $XBn to the gubmint, but admits no wrongdoing."

I wonder if, once pushed to a higher court, such a clause (or the whole settlement) could be declared invalid.

As in, if you did no wrong, why exactly are you giving $XBn to the government?

Is that some kind of bribe? As in, I give government money, they don't bother me about the crap I did.

Frankly the whole thing looks like a regular business contract between X and government, not a "guilty" judgment.

You're right! For sophisticated needs like running a server, it's not reasonable to expect a random nontechnical person to take on all that education.

This person clearly knows enough to be aware that they have good options for hosting a static site without ever having to admin a server. Frankly the simple S3+CloudFront+Route53 setup can be done in an hour or less following lots of clearly written documents that don't require one to be a seasoned sysadmin. And it'll cost less than $2/mo.

Why not buy one of the cheap aftermarket Chinese Android head units? When I was looking to buy a car I specifically looked for double DIN compatibility so that I can later easily install my own head unit. I would not want to support a car manufacturer who is abandoning the DIN standard for aftermarket head units. I want this central piece in the car to be upgradable. A car without double DIN is like a computer case without any slot to put an HDD.

There are very nice units with native Android experience. They usually have either a 7" or 10" screen. There are also some discussions of the various chinese units on xda forums in case someone is here interested...

This is always how I have memorized them, really through repetition (back to doing problems). The thing is that except for the basic ones and ones I use excessively, I forget; I think this is common. In comparison I can remember mnemonic lists of random items created years ago. I can't help but think there is a way to store math information similarly. Because that would suggest that it is a problem with the storage of the information.

I've always looked for more effective ways to study. And to counter your suggestion you can definitely fully understand the principles of an equation without being able to remember the equation itself. A simple example of this would be the Laplacian in spherical coordinates. It is easy to understand what is being done and the Cartesian form is trivial (most people have this memorized even) and the spherical can be derived from it simply. Problem is this takes way too much time. I don't think an example like this you could argue that there isn't an understanding of what is going on, just a familiarity issue. And thus how the information was stored. I'd argue that most of those that know this off the top of their head do so from repetition and not because of a better understanding than their Cartesian only counterparts.
EDIT: This issue has now been fixed. However, it's led me to notice some (unrelated) timing problems in both Safari and Firefox, which will take some deeper digging to figure out. Seems like browser compatibility rabbit hole never ends!

Thanks for this; I've fixed that issue and started on getting it compatible with Safari, but turns out there are some other errors regarding Float32Array mapping and support for AudioBuffer.copyToChannel(). I'll have to look more into this, but rest assured I'll push the changes when I get it working in Safari!
I recently visited the Chinese ones. It tools a good day or so of driving off road (after two weeks of driving to get into the area) to reach them.

The US famously spied on Russian underseas cables in Operation Ivy Bells https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ivy_Bells during the cold war. A spy sold the secret to the Russians and they recovered the recorders.

Of course they used submarines, so there was no plot on normal publicly-accessible marine maps..

The Russians have several subs with mini-subs too and are building more; there is a good list of links at the bottom of the article!
Sure, but I expect Google could make a kazillion dollars with some kind of licensing deal to provide Android and a stripped down offline version of Google Maps as a backup if there's no data available to car manufacturers.

Customizing an existing Android-for-cars platform sounds like a way better plan than whatever junk these manufacturers are shipping today. I've seen better systems in the 1990s in terms of responsiveness and performance. The only thing consistently worse than the UI in cars is the UI in set-top boxes which I can only presume are designed and implemented in North Korea and intended to run on CPUs made in 1985.

Apple is probably working on this exact thing, so I'm surprised Google hasn't made any inroads here. They can take more chances than Apple can.

>A hypersonic vehicle can travel much faster than that. We're talking about the ability to strike targets anywhere on the globe in minutes. That IS destabilizing.

Not really. Everything you can do offensively with a hypersonic cruise missile you can do more cheaply with ballistic missiles, which use a 70 year old technology. It takes about twenty five minutes to hit something on the other side of the world.

We've been in that global game of chicken since the early days of the cold war. Nothing has changed, in that respect. SLBMs have been within five minutes coastal land targets for more than fifty years.

I am not arguing that the apocrypha has a universally accepted bounds. There is certainly variance regarding what was considered apocryphal, no question.

However, regarding whether the Tanakh in the inter-testamental period, namely those books that were "laid up" in the temple at Palestine: We have no evidence or reason to suspect that the canon preserved by the Masoretes, was in some part different from the Tanakh.

We know of the dispute between Jerome and Augustine, which appears to be due to ignorance on Augustine's part, who thought the Jews counted the apocryphal books as part of the Tanakh. He was obviously wrong.

Jerome's opinion was shared by Gregory the Great, and even, somewhat ironically, by Cardinal Cajetan in Luther's day. Luther simply followed the best scholarship of his day.
I partly agree with you, but at the same time it seems that when teaching physics (intro level) they spend a bit too much time first teaching incorrect theories and even worse trying to pass it off as correct when there clearly is a better one.
