One could see fingerprint and user/pw as two different roles - with different levels of authorisation.

(Somehow similar to sudo which asks for the user's password the first time but assumes that the logged in user is allowed to execute further sudo commands without pw auth. Even if sudo does not really implement two different user roles here.)

Mos Burger in Japan has a similarly "rustic" decor but they're immaculate. It comes down to the pride and/or obligation that employees feel to keep the place clean. Hard to find in the USA, and relatively easy to find in Japan. It probably relates directly to the hygiene habits of the individuals themselves in their personal life.

Thanks for the citation, I had not seen that recent paper(2016).

Pisin Chen and Hagen Kleinert say that De-Broglie-Bohm theory does not agree with experimental results or the rest of quantum mechanics.

This is surprising since there evidence of this is from a 1979 paper, their citation [15]

[15] C. Philippidis, C. Dewdney and B. J. Hiley, Il Nuovo Cimento 52B, 15 (1979)

can be found online(republished) at: http://www.pbx-brasil.com/FisQuan/Notas/Area01/semana041/pap...

I would want to do some additional research before agreeing with Pisin Chen and Hagen Kleinert that the De-Broglie-Bohm theory has been experimentally disproven.

Other then combining the existing research double checking the numerical simulation and algorithms in [15] would be my approach.

Pisin Chen and Hagen Kleinert paper seems to lack such an examination which would have made for a more conclusive argument.

There's something to be said for the vigor injecting new vocabulary and throwing the language into the great vowel shift had on the language, but at the same time, woe onto us the untidy spelling that came about and the loss of declension.

I think your last paragraph just described email. There are so many apps that are built on top of email and it's only very recently that pseudo-standards* of communication (Slack, Facebook Messenger) have sprung up as an alternative upon which you can build your apps with reasonable ubiquity.

* The commercial nature of the internet is likely to produce more pseudo-standards than actual standards for us to build on going forward. These are platforms that everyone now takes as baselines. Stripe in payments. Shopify in e-commerce. And so on.
I'm pragmatic about them and they work out. It takes some discipline, but in exchange you get to use a standard back stack manager with more mindshare than any 3rd party replacement like Flow will have. My personal guidelines are:

Only use them in a single form. FragmentTransaction add/remove/replace, no fragment tags in xml to cause inconsistent behavior

Represent state with single AutoValue + Auto Parcel object and save it with Icepick so they work with process death automatically

Implement all interactions with other threads via RxJava so I can unsubscribe and avoid "after onInstanceState exceptions"

Use custom view groups instead of nested fragments since nested fragments tend to not be using the backstack anyways
Radio Silence (https://radiosilenceapp.com). It evolved from a side project to my main income this year, and there's a few valuable lessons learned. I don't think I could live off the app without them.

The biggest thing for getting incoming links was to release a free related app under the same domain name. I built Private Eye (https://radiosilenceapp.com/private-eye) and didn't charge anything for it. A lot more people are willing to blog/share/tweet about a free app.

The second thing was to simply cold email reporters and bloggers. I used to think getting featured in the big sites required some kind of magic. Then I started writing emails to individual writers, and the hit rate has been astounding.
First and foremost, always do your best no matter what anyone else does. You are trading your time in exchange for $$ from your employer. By metering your performance you not only degrade your value, you degrade your entire team.

As an engineering leader, I find that most employees are driven by passion, and it seems that your colleagues are not passionate about what they are doing. This may be a sign that your hiring manager may have selected the wrong people, or in the case that they are the right people that this is a sign to look for a better opportunity elsewhere.

It sounds like you have a work ethic, and if you are patient it will be rewarded. Who knows you may end up as the tech-lead someday. Keep it up.

Now for a word of caution... "I am working day and night and send emails 24/7 whenever I have a question or have completed a task" It is critical that you maintain work/life balance. Allow yourself to unplug during the weekends and shut off your email after you are done with work. Your mind needs to rest and recharge.

It seems to me the authors of the original paper are confused about, or are confusing the meaning of "falsifiability" as it's usually meant in philosophy of science.

It was an interesting paper, if not entirely original, but I wouldn't say it's about falsifiability. It's about power. There's some overlapping issues, sure, but they're not the same concepts.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected in the first place: that anti-discrimination laws actually reduce employment in the protected classes. I.e. if it's harder to fire someone you'll be less likely to hire them.

You seem to have read an awful lot into what I said! We could have had an interesting exchange about whether the drop in employment and the added compliance burden are worth the special protections, higher average pay, etc of those who still manage to get a job. Anyway, maybe some other time!

> I don't quite understand this correlation of user-centric functionality with bloat

A web browser is inherently designed to browse the web, and display pages. Practically every OS in recent history has the screenshot capability, and almost all of them can run client-server type applications that allow functionality like screen-sharing, SSH, etc.

But somehow Chrome and then Mozilla have decided that their browsers should become these giant monoliths of largely existing user functionality. Remember when Microsoft tied Windows Update to MSIE. Nobody was claiming that was a good fucking idea, were they?

> News flash: users want features

News flash: users want things to be fast, secure and not kill their battery.

> Most users didn't care that Google Chrome had become a CPU and RAM dog the last few years.

[Citation needed].

> Please recognise that while you want things like energy and RAM efficiencies to the hilt, this isn't what most users care about or even know how to detect/measure.

"My computer is slow/hot/loud/lasts just 2 hours instead of 7 on battery when using Chrome" is very much something a non-technical user can determine quite easily.

> Realistically speaking, how often are you in a spot where a power outlet isn't available?

Battery life is just one advantage of energy efficiency. Have you felt how hot a laptop can get when it's chewing a lot of CPU cycles for an extended amount of time? More energy in = more heat out.

> Otherwise, laud them for trying something new to entice users to use their browser vs. the competition.

Um, no. Firefox started out as lean, high performance competition to MSIE, just after Safari was launched by Apple. The original trigger was SOFTWARE BLOAT in the Mozilla suite, the features of which were still more related than what Google and Mozilla have added lately. At some point that goal of being a high performance standards-compliant web browser has apparently fallen away in favour of a keeping-up-with-the-joneses approach against Chrome.

Chrome's reason for existence is to allow Google more control over their revenue source. If they don't have a browser they control, they can't push whatever new technology they decide will make their business do better.

Part of Google's business is continually pushing the concept that user's don't need an OS that runs apps locally - everything can be in a browser (i.e. ChromeOS/Chrome browser with its kitchen sink approach to functionality)

So while Google's reasoning is not commendable (fuck the user experience, we need people to buy into our business model) their logic in pushing every possible feature into Chrome at least is understandable, if not agreeable.

Mozilla has no business case to artificially "encourage" reliance on a web browser for all user functionality, so why give up the hedgehog approach (do one thing, and do it fucking excellently) for whatever the fuck they're doing now?

You have to wonder why this is making the rounds today. Is it to remind the general public that America currently has a beef with Russia and the two might engage in more overt forms of cyber warfare? Is it an abstract response to the missile strikes on the USS Mason in Yemen, the implication being Russia was involved? Perhaps they want to turn cyber security into a bigger issue, and it'll take a few tit-for-tat attacks to get the public sufficiently outraged enough to demand better security.

Come on dude, I am sorry but you are wrong. Not just wrong but it seems you fundamentally misunderstand how world works.

See Peter Higgs is a Genius. The moment he published that paper, he knew that he essentially could do nothing, and the University would never "risk" losing him and waste potential payoff, even worse be ridiculed for firing a potential Nobel laureate. Also as wikipedia shows during all those years his research on Bosons kept him winning awards.

The University got far far far more than what they could have expected for when he eventually won the Nobel prize. Keeping him employed is equivalent to holding an option with enormous expected pay-off at small yearly recurring cost.

>> My example wasn't about compensation, clearly. It was how long you continue to keep an underperforming employee in a position just because they did good work in the past.

Except in academia having a seminal discovery, worthy of Nobel prize is equivalent to having large equity in that field. And from point of view of the University, losing such a person is equivalent to losing stake in delayed recognition of that work.

There's a difference between presenting an argument and agreeing with that argument.

> What makes you think that the people using applied statistics to make money are "unwise"?

Because it is an incredible waste of talent.

I know this is in contradiction with all the 'values' that have been drilled into our minds since we were born, but it's about time we wake up and reorder our priorities.

>Based on your tone, I would guess that it's because what they're doing doesn't agree with your folk definition of "an honest day's work" or something like that.

If you look at the state of the biosphere / atmosphere / oceans - the data - and if you have children - then it should be quite obvious.

Also there are the socio-economic challenges that the world faces right now - in fact it is unclear if we're going to make it to the next century as a species.

> I said "complicated". You took that to mean a continuum, but that's not the case. There is more than one dimension here.

It feels like you're trying really hard to avoid addressing the point directly. It's really not as complex as you're making it out to be. I literally posed a yes or no question about the specific example of Ward Cunningham and somehow it's now a multi-dimensional issue that you've been unable to answer?

I think your answer is "no" but for some reason you're unwilling to just say so, which is why you're bringing in other dimensions that are unrelated to respect in order to try to make the question seem difficult. If you think the commenters should shut up about Cunningham's actions because you think their complaints come from a place of ignorance or entitlement, that might be reasonable, but it's got nothing to do with respect.

> You were talking criticism. Here you have shifted ground to questioning. Which is still a little entitled, honestly. You could ask questions, though.

You're trying to nitpick semantics. To question someone's decision is to criticize it.

> Also, your parallel to government decisions is ridiculous. Government is of, by, and for the people. People have a right to know. Ward Cunningham, on the other hand, is of, by, and for Ward Cunningham. You have no right to get up in his business.

The government example was provided to illustrate why this mindset is fundamentally wrong, not to equate government actions and Cunningham's actions. I could have provided equivalent examples involving business, or friends, or strangers. But it doesn't matter because you're nitpicking the example instead of addressing the unhealthiness of the attitude.

> Yes, and I for one wish you had done that here instead of pitching a fit.

Where do you imagine I pitched a fit? Is criticism something you just fundamentally don't agree with? My comments here have been polite and, yes, respectful.

> But ultimately, Ward doesn't owe us an explanation. If he chooses to inform us, that's great. But if not, the respectful thing to do is to, absent evidence to the contrary, assume he knows what he's doing.

I never claimed he did and repeatedly stated that he didn't owe me anything. I think I made it extremely clear that I was criticizing the comments/attitude linking respect and silence, and not Cunningham's actions. (I'm not sure why you're equating whether he owes us something with whether he knows what he's doing, though. These are unrelated.)
I've been using it on several sites for over a year as a simple reverse proxy with lets encrypt built in. Resource usage is low and performance is good, certainly good enough for ~95% of websites which are low to med traffic. Here is one example in production:

https://golangnews.com
When a buyer buys a car and plays VAT, the seller gets the VAT they paid on the car refunded. If you do the same with financial transactions, it's essentially adding 0.1% to the capital gains rate. In a sales tax regime, wholesalers are generally exempt from sales tax, as they charge it to the ultimate buyer and remit it to the taxing agency; who is the ultimate buyer of a security?

But this proposal is a transfer tax, as is common for real estate (where transactions are very expensive and slow, prices are opaque, and market makers are few).

A transfer tax would be a drag on everyone who trades in the market, just to punish one demonized industry (HFT); in one fell swoop, everyone's retirement savings, stock based compensation, taxable investments are doing that much worse.

HFT has low barriers to entry, and is intensely competitive, if you want to reduce profit of HFT companies, a better way to do it would be to make it more competitive: reduce the minimum price increment by a factor of ten, and then you'll have firms racing to make a tenth of a penny, instead of racing to make a penny.
