>Your future mobility to pursue jobs in other cities, becoming significantly constrained

Perhaps the idea of people who haven't adopted this is that, unless they like doing so, humans should not have to live like nomads moving here and there to pursue this or that financial opportunity, but instead should be allowed to grow roots in some place, help shape it and improve it, connect with their neighbors, etc.

Regardless of whether it's a deterrent, there have been people sentenced to life imprisonment in the UK who were later shown not to have committed the murders they were sentenced for. Those people would have been hanged if we'd kept the death penalty.

I presume there are also miscarriages of justice in the USA.

>It boils down to lifestyle decision

Exactly.

My philosophy is, to a first approximation, forget the financial aspect. Yes, depending upon tax policies, rent/buy ratios, etc. it may make more or less sense to rent vs. buy in a given location. But, for me, it really comes down to flexibility on the one hand and stability/ability to modify things to your liking on the other. Neither is the "right" approach but IMO it's what most people should be focusing on rather than whether it's a good investment or whether they're "throwing money away" on rentals.
I had heard that the mortgage deduction was designed to incentivize the population to settle down. A population that is settled is more invested in the community, less likely to cause trouble, and more likely to pay taxes. Although, in today's workforce, lack of mobility can be a liability.

Thanks for resurrecting my article! :) It was originally wrote for one russian site and I do not have spare time to translate it.
The problem is America in particular views prison as punishment, because of its puritan roots and culture a large part of the country sees punishment as both an effective correctional technique and a deterrent when the evidence for decades has consistently shown neither hold.

Which is part of the problem with the "abolish the death penalty" movement. The opposition was raised and impressed upon how prison is not for the security of society as a whole but for the punishment of the criminal. Except the later never works, and if you frame your law enforcement around that you end up violating a gross amount of human rights just like parents who think punishments are the optimal way to raise children most of the time end up abusing their kids.
For analytics this isn't a big problem.

Once a reset link has been clicked, it should be immediately invalidated.

So unless the server was able to respond to the link and provide the analytics stuff but not somehow invalidate the token, I can't see how this is a problem.

Another related problem is that some third party mailers move all their links via URL redirectors. In that case there's a chance the host application fails and the link is left valid.
2. Wifi, looks like it doesn't work, but it does! Just keep enabling it in network-manager it'll take like 5-10 times and then it'll be on and fine.

I would say that's a show stopper, especially since the machine does not come with an ethernet port.
I am not sure that is true as even for stocks, on the other side you have asset managers, hedge funds or insurance companies who participate both in the primary and secondary markets. Of course, you will have similar bubbles forming in stocks than you have in property. But overall it is a way more productive investment.

Bonds barely trade on the secondary markets. When you invest into a fund that buys bond, it's pretty much 100% primary market (i.e. new issuances).
Also worth pointing out that some credit cards carry huge perks if used as your daily spending method. For example, the Chase Sapphire Preferred card extends some warranties by a year, also covers purchases for 120 days against damage/theft, also will pay back the price difference on an item if the price goes down within 90 days of purchase.

Similar cards carry similar benefits, I'm sure. All you have to do to reap them is get the card, use it instead of your debit, then pay it off appropriately.
>Is that really how supply and demand works though? If people are willing to pay more for the extra functionality, why would you not sell it at that higher price?

>Cash: no fee

Because it just magically transfers from your register to your bank account? :)

>It was something like 1% vs. 3% (approximately(!), just to give an idea of magnitude).

I know, but by now it is down to 0.9% for most retailers so not accepting credit cards is always an interesting decision.

>most credit cards cost a yearly fee of 20-70 Euros or so

When you get a card to collect airline miles or get the card from your bank. Most other banks (Advanzia, Barclaycard, LBB) charge nothing for it, but make up by charging high interest rates. Still most have an interest-free period, which can be beneficial for consumers.

Regular cards still don't support contactless. Just tapping your card is vastly better than entering your PIN or signing. A lot of retailers in Germany support it.

Having multiple authorative servers for static DNS records is easy.

Doing what Dyn does (e.g. geo load balancing, active failover, cdn integration) is insanely hard. Syncing that across multiple providers is next to impossible.

Time for extrapolation, brain storming, and irrational views of the future.

I remember some years ago reading that many of those social media quizes like "Which [random TV show] character are you" or "if you were a color, what color would you be" are run by companies that are slowly aggregating consumer behavior and background data on everybody.

With access to this database, and a semi-intelligent bot that's been given instructions, one could build an collection of people who meet certain criteria.

You could filter people down to determine who is most easily influenced by peers and have the bot befriend them and act as a peer. This power could be used to simply influence them to have certain consumer behaviors, or it could be used to cause online malcontents to move to the real world and take up arms against governments.

You could filter for people who were "easy targets" to trick them and steal their life savings, or better yet, convince them to send you their life savings.

You could run a fake church and find the people easily swayed by your specific brand of faith or family that they crave.

You could find not just the next lone gunman, you could find a thousand lone gunmen or bombers and set them off all at the same time against a wide variety of targets.

You could convince 10,000 people to invest a pittance into a penny stock to make it soar and cash out.

You could trigger viral boycotts or artificially construct "Grassroots" organizations.

Similar to a recent Black Mirror episode, you could blackmail people but make it automated. Bots could scour the internet for "deviant behavior" in safe pseudo-anonymous communities but connect the profile to real-world profiles and automate threatening them for some kind of action or payout.

On the other hand, many of these things could also be used for good depending on your viewpoint. A true believer in a cause might like the ability to easily find and reach out to people who believe in the same cause to form a grassroots campaign.

A church with low attendance numbers might be able to find more members for their flock.

An intelligent bot system with psychological and marketing profiles on everyone in a country could be used by humanitarians to give certain categories of people (brave, natural leaders with compassion) the prodding and emotional support they need to stand up to militants or warlords.

An automated bot that connects pseudo-anonymous identities with real identities could be used to privately and discretely tell trolls to stop their negative behavior.

If you steal someones else password-reset link, change the password, then at the end of the day, won't you end up with a password, but missing email/username in order to log in? I mean the reset password link shouldn't reveal any other credentials about the account. (I know at some sites after reseting a password you may end up automatically logged in, but i think this is a bad practice).
You pay into a retirement fund as long as you work (Rentenversicherung). When you retire you then get a monthly payment from there. By now, due to more old people and fewer young people, the amount you'd get is getting lower. To combat that there are various ways people invest money for retirement. Betriebliche Altersvorsorge is one, where a part of your income is deducted before taxes. There is Riester-Rente, which is state-sponsored to some degree.

Of course, some people choose to invest into property, but there are lots of other options with varying flexibility and payoffs. In general, even if you don't do anything towards your retirement (apart from working your working life), you still have some security as you age. But such provisions are probably one very major difference between the US and Germany.
> On the other hand, many Germans believe: renting is paying someone else, buying is paying yourself (which is nonsense). Especially in more rural areas, buying/building a house is considered a big achievement in life. People are even willing to move from a smaller city to little towns just to be home-owners.

People change to small towns because they want stress free life and a better/larger home for the same price of a small apartment in big cities.
Living in cities brings also disadvantages!
On the other hand it eliminates the NIBMY problem. Since the tenants do not own their home they don't have the pressure to protect their investment. The landlord receives returns on his investment through rent on a monthly basis which lessens the risk of a sudden development reducing the value of the home. Home owners that live in their own home on the other hand face the full risk since they can only recoup their costs when they sell the property.

PyDev of the Week: Brianna Laugher
There are plenty of technical reasons why the web is centralized.

I cannot even host a server on my residential service without violating the ToS agreement. Even if I did, there is the problem of not enough IP addresses so my IP is dynamic. This is solved with dynamic dns, etc but is another technical hurdle to overcome. And then there is NAT creating yet another layer to hosting your own server. And I won't even go into security.

These are all solvable, but to say there is little to do with the technical design ignores all of the problems that led us to where we are today.
So the fragment solution requires JS, invalidate on request can be upset by email scanning antivirus, manual token entry is inconvenient.

So my first thought is returning a page with no external requests (render on the srrver) which isn't very dev friendly.

My other thought is returning a redirect to a page with a token derived from the original token and the clients IP or some other fingerprinting information.
> Because it just magically transfers from your register to your bank account? :)

No, there is no fee on that transfer. And please don't tell me "but the effort!". Small businesses gladly go through that "effort". Not everybody is Amazon. You just empty the cash register and bring it to the bank. Not exactly dangerous around here either.

> Regular cards still don't support contactless

That is not exactly something worth mentioning as great "convenience". Even if you find a store where that is used at all, that's like 0.001% of the effort of going shopping.
Not according to the credit rating agencies, no, it's not.

Handling debt responsibly is a different skill from handling cash responsibly. When it comes time to buy a home, for example, which 99% of people will need credit to do, the banks want to see that you can handle debt responsibly, since that's what you're taking on.

Edit: Also, see my reply to GP comment that explains some of the other benefits of using a credit card.

Self replicating bots are feasible in some form, probably not in the one presented. Also, it isn't plausible that the rest of world would look as similar to ours presented in the episode as such technology would have many far-reaching implications on the rest of society.

Still, at some point you have to limit yourself. Having this one change and not change the rest of society makes it possible to imagine and relate to that one tech.

One bite sized chunk at a time.

Edit: Interesting example: What if we had teleportation technology that you can carry in your pocket? It's extremely hard to figure out all implications of this and if you manage to figure out how the world would look like it would probably be hard to relate to because it would change everything. So we have to keep a balance between relateability and plausibility.
Not great. Once you've done that, you're giving criminals an excellent motive for committing more murders in order to not get caught. There's an actual saying referencing it: 'Might as well be hung for a sheep as for a lamb'.

And executing people who commit crimes for political or religious motives leads to notions of martyrdom and often encourages people of a like-mind to join their struggles.

Life imprisonment does much the same prevention job as the death penalty with much less baggage in terms of the ethics of killing people, or of the consequences of convicting innocent people, too.
And yet the public debt of Germany is just as high as these credit addicted nations, what does that say?

Presumably you're asking why you're hearing about it before the fix is out. Perhaps Google is trying to apply public pressure to the manufacturers/carriers to actually update their devices since they have a habit of not pushing critical security updates very quickly.
Which, by the way, sounds like an awful concept of how creditworthiness is created.

Signing into some unnecessary additional financial product with comically obsolete interest rates, just to manually repay it in the random timeframe in which the (still unnecessary) credit is free sounds like a bad idea.

It's probably only there to nudge people into paying interest on money they already have.

i recently searched for a new shared apartment and there were plenty of offers that were looking explicitly for professionals and not students because of the reasons you stated above. I also know of older ones living in a shared apartment (though not as a rule). I can imagine moving together with a partner or switching apartment because of the reasons you mention above, but living alone is not something i want to do. But i understand there are reasons some don't want live in a shared apartment.

I think what i want to say is that for most living in a shared apartment is not a thing out of necessity anymore, but out of choice

Depends on how the reset behaves. Some resets log you in immediately after providing a new password. Some require you to log in after resetting the password.

I feel like I've seen more of the former than the latter.
The const keyword makes the object reference constant. It doesn't make the object's value constant. You can change the contents of 'info' (info.push(5) is fine). You just can't change which object the variable points to. (info = [] will throw).

If you know C/C++, the code 'const info = []' makes 'info' a constant pointer to a list not a pointer to a constant list.

If you want to stop a variable from being changed, use Object.freeze() - https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Referen...
No. You are incorrect.

Obviously from the comic, the author is an early adopter.

That's why he embraces HURD as soon as it's ready, instead of waiting until after 2060.
const only guards against changing the reference that it was assigned to. This won't break because info is still assigned to the same array. It doesn't matter that the array was mutated.
It's not so much a restriction, and it differs from company to company.

For example, I rented twice this year - I don't own a car and usually use the train - and the first time they wanted my to enter the PIN for the credit card, which I didn't know. A big hassle, they took (real!) money off of my EC card (which I got back afterwards).

The second time I didn't need a PIN (different car rental company), but they helped themselves to almost 800 Euros in alleged damages from my credit card (good thing I had used an online service and opted into the "we pay the deductible", which was 1,000 Euros, on the full insurance I had also selected to get).
Agreed, what's required is solid discourse, to fill in the endless details of a plan that will no doubt take longer than expected. However, the broad strokes are there, the goals have been set, and action is being taken. This is what makes me excited - not SpaceX, not Elon Musk, but that someone is trying to make commonplace space travel in my lifetime a possibility.

For one, it gives people the message that murder, in some cases, is justified -- heck, even the state does it.

Second, after someone has done enough violent things to warrant capital punishment, every subsequent thing they do is free of any other punishment. Killed a cop during some robbery? Might as well try to shoot the whole lot down and escape, since I'm already certain to be put to death if caught.

Third, it also kills innocent people the same way actual murderers do. People that DNA or other evidence later exonerated.
Not necessarily a learning resource, but I'd like to plug the Anaconda distribution of Python. https://www.continuum.io/ It includes most of the commonly-used libraries/packages in data analytics, so at ASU I made all my students download it just to start from. Three things it gives you right out of the box are iPython (a better Python shell), Spyder (the Python version of RStudio), and Jupyter Notebooks.

For learning, I'd recommend taking something like Janert's "Data Analysis with Open Source Tools" and go through chapter-by-chapter trying to figure out how to implement the various analyses in Python. That book in particular uses a different technology every chapter for its tutorial exercises, so ignore those. But the exposition of the concepts is fantastic.

1) Right. That is called your "home". You invest most of your efforts and resources there to provide a home for yourself and your family that can be a long-term stable place to live.

2) Again, this is OK if you want a "home".

Your recommendations are based on assumptions that people want to maximize their money. Most people I talk to (most people over 30, at least) are willing to have less money in exchange for a better overall life.

How to balance money with intangibles is a personal choice. But the "financial planning perspective" is just one piece of the puzzle, not the big picture.
