> Not to mention that voting isn't mandatory. Australia solved both of those problems with a preferential, mandatory voting system

How will that stop corruption? Presumably, when someone is being dragged to vote, he'll vote for "the more familiar name", in other words, the name most repeated on TV, in other words, the one who raised the most funds.

If anything, voting should be hard (but fair) so that only people that actually know something about the candidates (and political system) should be able to decided which one is better.

How to do that? No idea.
You're right. I think I must have misremembered something I read about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcan_(hypothetical_planet) But I think I got the example of Neptune right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_of_Neptune#Irregular...

Looks good. I'm going to give it a try.

Though I am probably going to bite the bullet and start paying for something with full built in encryption. Obviously this will cost more as Google, OneDrive, etc. take a loss on the storage costs, making it back via data mining, ads, and product upsells.

The proverbial final straw was Windows 10 slide-showing personal pics hijacked from my phone on my start menu at a client site. Who knows if it would happen on the lock screen, too, since they've turned Pro edition, even, into a conumption and ad platform instead of a business class OS.

I have told Android OneDrive to NOT auto upload pics from my phone a least a dozen times, yet it still gives not a shit.

Exactly, the same rhetoric follows university programs I came to find out too. A little shocking to discover the reality of all this hyperbolic language one can run into in marketing material. But in the end it's all perfectly well explainable, they're creating the public appearance they want to craft and present to the outside world. Can't blame them for stretching stuff.

In France as well. Yet, if you go to the police station after a bike accident they will most likely refuse to take your claim unless you look seriously injured, and as long as the car did stop the police will just tell you to contact your insurance (which will do little more than reimbursing half the used value of your bike if you still have the invoice, after asking for a deductible amount several times that).

I'm sure it's better in the Netherlands, but just making cars liable isn't a solution itself.
Bubblesort's a great learning tool, though. Knowing the implementation of bubblesort is like knowing my base-10 multiplication tables. In a realistic case, I'll use sort(), just like I'll use a calculator for any multiplication over a couple digits. Still, coding the algorithm (and some others for comparison) in class and seeing the practical differences in performance is a wonderful illustration of why algorithms have to be chosen carefully.

Will it help in this project (or any other)? Almost impossible. But it provides a nice jumping off point during education, and really, you're not likely to actually forget it, right?

This.

The problem is that a lot people bring the same level of self-centeredness to biking as they do to driving. Same bad habits and assuming the fault is on someone else.

Yes, operating a 2-ton vehicle is a giant responsibility. But as a biker, to expect that 2-ton vehicle to magically disobey the laws of physics and stop for you is just as careless. Give cars space, and maybe don't be in a car's blind spot at an intersection. Have you seen the number of people trying to squeeze by a bus on Market Street? Why?

(I say this as someone who's biked in SF for 7 years and stayed alive because I understand that it's dangerous to bike in this city. It would be lovely to live in a Dutch wonderland, but we live in the U.S. of fucking A., where everyone's got to be somewhere before someone else, so one needs to bike defensively here.)
Startups are not easy and there is only so much bandwidth. Many startups ideas can be visionary since it's a pain that the founder dealt with either in real life or as a developer. Is it right to call Uber less visionary than a company focused on solving healthcare or to keep Moore's going forward? There can be both technical and business innovation. Uber (and especially it's initial black car service) may have seemed like a SF-only problem in the early days superficially, but now Uber solves real problems such as mobilizing senior citizens that don't have a license or reducing drunk driving. Vision isn't something that is built and realized on day one but rather grows organically over time.
Agreed. It is the backup server which must contain the credentials of the live system and contact it for the backup, and not the other way around. Otherwise an attack on your live system will quickly turn into an attack on your backup system too.
As a dutch biker I would only wear a helmet when mountain-biking. The rest of the roads are very flat, we don't have much inclines. And our bikes are mostly in good condition, good brakes etc. In the cities people tend to have worse bikes because of theft but speed is lower there, so less danger.
And last but not least, we have bike lanes, so you just wont come across cars regularly, a car has to ignore red lights to come in contact with bikes, so accidents are not that common.

No surprise in social mobility being unequal, but isn't years of education a poor measure to go by in the first place? They also mention 5% of the bottom 1/5th making it to the top 5th and 20% of the second fifth making it to the top fifth. Wouldn't a better measure be to feature the % of people that move up at least one fifth? That would tell a completely different story
No. Twitter would be better off using machine learning to segment their users (the way Hello is trying to do manually). For example they should know I love Nike trainers, Arsenal football club, I'm a developer, I'm thinking about buying a house etc. and surface this information when I'm writing a tweet such that it knows if I'm talking about Arsenal or my trip around Japan and gives a richer UI based on this. Making my stream more interesting i.e. when a game is on and I'm writing about it there should be way to message only Arsenal people...

All of this should be automatically added/tagged up and while you can remove the metadata it'll be right most of the time. The advertising potential is incredible.

> I cited it as an example that Git has fewer features than its competitors. I never said anything about its quality.

Fair enough.

> This is a difference between centralized and distributed... Fine; but that's not the point. The point is it's a feature that I want.

But file-locking is realistically just not implementable in a distributed source-control system. This sort of mechanism does only have a home in centralized architectures.

> I'm not a fan of newer software having fewer features than older software.

This may be a nitpick about the way you decided to express yourself, but just in case: Your math is wrong here.

You've had 1 capability you appreciate removed, while having tons of others added. That still yields you new software with more features, not fewer.

After 2 years my S2 became a slow unfunctional piece of dead tech. I tried resetting it through the Samsung tools, which didn't help, so I rooted it and tried different versions of basic android on it, which didn't help. At the same time I had two friends who were experiencing the same kinds of problems, who let me toy with their phones.

It's completely anecdotal but three similar model phones breaking in exactly the same manner at exactly the same period in their lives was enough to put me off Samsung for good.

It's been some years since and I've seen Samsung in one scandal after another. Like the time they had an entire range of flatscreen tvs break because they put the transistors too close to the cooling plates, fixing it by moving the transistors but replacing the $0.5 piece with a Samsung produced transistor which they've never sold, making repairs nearly impossible.

Bullshit article: the rule that everyone learns is to check your mirror and double check by looking over your shoulder. I have never heard of the right hand rule.

Interesting. Although you will note that in their definition, one of the parties (the bank) knows the identity of the customers. By tracing the transactions, they can deduce the identity. The original article specified pseudonymous transactions, so either the system is trivially strong privacy or (more reasonably) this definition is not really suited to this discussion.
I agree with your points, but the reality is that we live in a town where everyone else is distracted, so the onus is on us (bikers) to be aware. That's it.

Things are improving, and maybe one day biking in an American city may be as relaxing as a European bike path, but until that day, I think it's extremely important for cyclists to realise the dangers that are out there, and how to minimise that risk. And for some reason, this is a discussion that I rarely hear about.
>> So, you need to know some programming, right? I don't see that as a bad thing.

These concessions are a bad thing if the goal is to work in a new model of programming distanced from the complexities and bugs of imperative programming. These concessions bring back the same class of bugs and problems, exemplified by "oh, you just have to learn how not to have your program self-destruct by using this low-level operation incorrectly" in a declarative language.

I'd have no problems with replacing replacing green cuts and implicit ordering with separate non-invasive hint declarations, instead of exposing low-level backtracking munging operations which can be used in odd and destructive ways (and we in fact did so in our internal prolog-inspired languages). The presence of these types of operations and constraints also means the compiler often can't reorder clauses if it can (statically or dynamically) determine that one ordering is better than another.

Taking a mostly declarative language and throwing in cut, inline io/assertions/retractions when backtracking can occur, and demanding the execution follow the lexical order of all clauses is basically like throwing raw C pointers into Java: It seems to go against the language's design intent. It's a hack to get things going back when computers were too small & slow to have smarter compilers, and these hacks bring with them otherwise completely unnecessary problems. I don't think they should be defended, but viewed as warts that hopefully the language can design past in the future.

This is the logical next step after random site-specific passwords. The login/logout workflow does make this inconvenient though. Browser extension idea?

Chan boards use thread-specific IDs or thread-specific tripcode salts to achieve much the same thing - privacy by default, but identifiers when it helps you follow a conversation.
This doesn't solve the problem at hand either unfortunately. You'll still have a hanging comma in front of `last_name`:

> So what do you do when you are a capable programmer who isn't rich enough to work on something challenging/interesting/meaningful like electric cars or rockets?

The list of meaningful things a capable programmer is way longer than that! You dont have to quit yiur dayjob to work on them and get some fulfillment/validation.

I'll add: Rockets and electric cars are just at a certain point in their hype-cycles, and you're just drinking the koolaid. I'm 100% certain you'd have your passion for tech beaten out in those industries too, if you worked for the wrong company.

You learn to appreciate a helmet if you share roadspace with a certain subset of vehicles and drivers. Which you, blessedly, don't.
Throwing in an observation from one of the successful processes I've seen:

Before a new session or technical question gets added to your company's tech interview corpus, you require the team to dogfood it on in-house engineers. If the people you've already hired have poor feedback on the question/session, it may be in need of serious work or may just be something you shouldn't use.

Odd that you say this about helmets. It only takes one mistake, one cyclist not paying attention, one mechanical fault, one swerving car or an obstacle in the road - and you'll be landing face first into the tarmac wishing you wore a helmet.

185 cyclists died last year in the Netherlands [1]. I wonder how many of those weren't wearing a helmet.

I also found this interesting article [2] going into a lot more detail on why the Dutch don't seem to want to wear them.

Amsterdam resident here. Such a good infrastructure and laws for the bycyclists make them not giving a single shit about the way they are actually driving their bycicles. And their behaviour and driving style is often very offensive to both pedestrians and car users. So it's not that straight and black and white.
Its explained on the next page(it a simplification)
In fact, by relaxing some of the assumptions made above,
we have the more general relationship: L ∝ V
2/(+s+q−t)
opt
(here s, q and t can be band-
dependent) that can be even more complex and non-linear when the scaling laws (2), (3),
(4) are not just power laws. As a matter of fact, in several different large samples of galaxies
it has been found that the TF has different slope and scatter in different bands: a I ≃ 10,
s I ∼ 0.4mag, while a B ≃ 7.7, s B ∼ 0.5mag (Pierce & Tully 1992), (Salucci et al. 1993).
Moreover, a non linearity in the TF is often found at low rotation velocities (Aaronson et
al. 1982).
In fact you can tell a lot about what questions people ask. The more specific and detailed a question is, the better the person knows the topic. A skilled language learner would never ask "What is the best way to learn English?" because he knows already that there is no best way, in fact there is no single way. He knows that he needs to combine different methods and which are the common methods and how well they work for him.

By recognizing a misconception that people have at a certain skill level you can guess their skill level quite acurately. Beginners usually want to solve the biggest of problems, and be done after the next weekend. Mid-levelers usually have specific questions about a method that must be the one true best solution in their eyes, but somehow they struggle with topic X. High skilled people usually ask questions that can't be googled, and even other experts need to look into the problem more deeply to figure it out together.

It's also hard to fake, since you need have some experience in the area to recognize how your current believe is limited. You cannot ask a ungoogleble question if you don't know already most of what can be googled about that topic.
Maybe you should go through the actual set of issues.

I'm honestly surprised this is such a common problem in the US. Most of the parallel parking spaces here are next to the road, so if you open your door without looking, some other car will crash into you. We have been trained since we were children to always look when exiting a car parked on a street. We were not even allowed to exit from the road side of the car most of the time. As a driver, you have to be super careful, because when you are parked, there is usually a steady traffic less then 50cm next to your left. You basically always have too look and double-check before opening your door on a street. I live in Slovakia, but I think my experience matches most of the countries in this part of Europe.

Typical bicyle helmets don't help much with a face-first landing on the tarmac, your chin takes most of the pounding. I can confidently say that from repeated ... 'experiments'. In contrast, a motorcyle helmet that also wraps around the chin would be of great use in most bicycle accidents.

Most people in China don't wear helmets either. Helmets prevent brain injury, but generally you'd have to be going pretty fast, or get hit by a car really fast to land on your head to require one (and then you probably have other injuries to contend with).

Also, we have bike light laws in California, but there are plenty of cyclists that don't use them. Personally, if I had to choose between riding without a helmet, or riding without lights; I'll take the lights. Lights prevent accidents whereas a helmet is only needed after an accident has occurred.
