Essentially zero actual economists assert or believe that actual humans in actual economies are, or behave like, homo economicus. Essentially all are aware that it is a limited model, which attempts to approach certain important features of reality, but cannot always do so due to limits on information, comprehension, and subjective values. Meteorology is still a valid field of science even if its models are limited and incomplete. Likewise with economics.

"Economists think homo economicus is literally true" is a ludicrous strawman.
Only chargers that don't follow the spec can be damaged by the power draw. That is the problem with adapters and USB-A cables that use wrong resistor and USB-C device will pull 3A from USB-A charger that can only provide 2.4A at most.

Also, the charge cable is electronically marked for 5A. Regular USB-C cables only do 3A, which limits them to 60W with USB-PD.
This already exists, if you're buying an expensive item such as a yacht or an airplane, it actually makes accounting sense to structure it into a corporate ownership. When you need to resell a pricey item, you might not find a quick buyer for a $50 mln item, but you might find 10 fractional buyers willing to pay $5 mln each.

For all intents and purposes, there's no tax associated with owning a yacht, either at personal or corporate level, so it's not like there's a massive loss of federal revenue here either way.
"Once the tenants had left, the apartments could be easily converted back to unregulated, market-rate apartments."

This is why rent-controlled apartments should never be allowed to go back to "market rates". They should remain rent controlled in perpetuity. Problem solved.
I don't often find myself in a situation where I don't need need atomicity for the work I do. So I'm speaking from a point of view that reflects that.

Even if I didn't need it for a project, I would probably start there because, you know, that's the hammer I have, so SQL is the nail I'm going to start with.

I haven't had problems scaling DBs though. DB throughput has never caused a problem for me. What has caused problems is business logic put in what I consider the wrong places.

Business logic belongs in the database structure wherever possible because that's the single source of truth for your data. That's where all of your controls for data integrity belong.

For any app that has longevity, you are going to have multiple methods of accessing the data. There will be APIs and crappy junk that wants your data. You have to account for this. There will be users logging directly into your database. Sometimes it will be your boss.

Start with an ACID approach to your CRUD app, and you probably won't go wrong. At least not soon. And you have options for scaling when you need to. You can scale vertically or horizontally or both.

This is such nonsense. What is happening now is unprecedented.

As an example. Some random guy tweets that CNN showed Porn instead of an Anthony Bourdain show. Based on nothing else Daily Mail, Esquire, GQ, Fox News had articles up immediately giving the claim legitimacy and a massive audience in the tens of millions. Of course it never happened. This isn't on some spectrum of different opinions. This is a flat out lie, that was never fact checked by seemingly reputable companies that suddenly became true.

The fact is that because of Twitter and Facebook and the financial importance of being first to the punch the integrity of news is slowly but surely going down the toilet. So yes the fake news epidemic is real, serious and very much a new phenomenon (because media companies rely more and more on internet revenue).

I think it's funny how signaling things like "expandable performance" and "deep key travel" get tied to being a hacker. The only thing you can upgrade even on an expandable laptop is memory and disk, which a hacker is probably maxing out to begin with. (Even expandable laptops are pretty limited by the chipsets these days in how much RAM they can handle). And given the high resale value of Macs, your typical Silicon Valley worker will probably spend more on lattes than on simply selling their Mac every couple of years and buying a new one.

It's a new phenomenon for someone to tell a lie and have it spread like wildfire? The internet might enable both the truth and lies to spread faster, but I don't see it as something fundamentally new.
What's notable is that Northern European economies have among the freest, most "market capitalist" economies on Earth. There's a substantial amount of tax-and-redistribute to them, but very little in the way of economic planning, or actual-socialist communalism. Mostly it's just a large welfare state.
That's a good question! The simple answer is that the web is about whitelisting, whereas a chroot jail is about blacklisting, and blacklisting never works. (Whitelisting, to be clear, also has no guarantee of working, but at least it's possible for it to work.)

When you jail a UNIX process, you start from a model that gives you full access to everything, and gradually revoke access until you're convinced it's secure. There are all sorts of things you might overlook. For instance, if it's just a chroot, there's no network isolation; an app can connect to a server listening on localhost, and it looks like it's coming from localhost. It can connect to a server on the local network, and it looks like it's coming from the host (which is bad if you have, e.g., a corporate network that lets you access interesting data without logging in, or a home router with a default admin password, or many similar cases).

And if you introduce a new mechanism, the chroot probably gives you access to it. For instance, if the chrooted app is able to access my X11 session, it has a ton of powers; it can keylog everything I do, for instance. Even if I mark it "untrusted" a la ssh -X, it has complete powers over everything else that's "untrusted". You could imagine an X11 designed differently, but X11 was designed for trusted apps. Another important case is system calls; a chrooted process has access to every system call, including every vulnerability that might be present. (On some OSes you can restrict what system calls the process can run, but it's still pretty coarse-grained.)

The web starts from the ability to render formatted text with links, which is very close to zero. Everything else is—at least in theory—added from there when safe. Images are safe. Playing audio is pretty safe. Recording audio is probably not safe without permission. (A typical desktop API won't have an easy way to allow one but not the other, and certainly won't have a permission prompt.) Rendering graphics is fine. Rendering 3D graphics is potentially fine, hence WebGL. Rendering graphics on top of someone else's tab is a definite no. Moving your window around or removing its borders is also a definite no. Becoming full-screen requires notifying the user of what just happened. (Again, a typical desktop API won't distinguish these cases and won't give you an easy way to exit full-screen.)

In particular, the web does restrict an app's ability to access the web. An app can freely access its own origin, but it cannot freely access other sites. If http://wiki.internal/ has sensitive data that doesn't require login, a site on the public web cannot retrieve data from there, without the consent of that site. (And the web has already implemented a pretty robust and involved way of handling cross-origin resource sharing.)

If you stick all these things into a desktop API, fantastic! But the web platform is already there, with a number of competing implementations that are all pretty good.
Couldn't agree more. I recently used Type C for the first time and it just feels so cheap in comparison. Nowhere near as bad as microUSB but still, there's just something about it.

The only problem I have with their use of Lightning in phones is that they want headphone manufacturers to switch to Lightning...

They should only surface news from reputable companies. And that doesn't mean those companies have to be giants like Fox or NYT.

It just means that they need to have content that has gone through some editorial process and isn't just made up.

Yes it is a new phenomenon. Because of Facebook and Twitter fake news can reach tens of millions of diverse people in seconds. Please explain when in history this has otherwise been the case. And remember we aren't just talking about one off examples here. We are talking about a constant barrage of completely fake news.

The problem is that JS perf is so much worse on Android, and adding insult to injury, the single threaded perf of the very fastest Android devices are less than half an iPhone 7. Worse still, Apple devices get upgraded aggressively, whereas Android devices don't, so the long tail of very old very slow devices (mobile devices age in dog years) is enormous. Sad but true.

I am sure your personal journey has a great deal of value to you, but why do you share this with us? It should be clear that there are thousands of variables at play in your story, and the suggestion that artificial sweetener is responsible for your inability to lose weight seems like a completely unsupported leap.
$1600 is more than you need to survive in most countries on this planet. If you can earn that with 1 single room apartment I can't see how you can start to be pessimistic. If your friend earns more than 300$/month on that apartment I think it's quite a good market and your friend is still making a premium. And $1600 sounds like "a little" more than $300.
Who can view my internet history?
It used to be these "reputable" organizations used to have reporters investigate, and do a story. Then came citizen news and they'd report on what someone reported to them without sending an actual journalist to establish basic facts. So you had these organizations trying to scoop each other without getting or trying to get any facts whatsoever just to get something up first. And now you have people essentially "news-swatting" them.

They brought these problems on to themselves by trying to play fast and loose with journalism in the first place, now they get played and are feeling a bit upset and want some payback.
In my own (possibly and probably inaccurate) opinion, I feel as though "hackers" aren't the people who need professional gear to do professional (or daily) tasks. They're the ones who can make the most out of as little equipment as possible.

"See that toaster over there? It's been reprogrammed to automatically deposit my cat's food every fourth hour and have it warm as well."

"That 2009 dinosaur of a smartphone sitting in the corner? It's an IP surveillance camera."

"That first generation Xbox, it's powering the zoom feature of the Hubble Telescope."

That last one might have been a bit of an exaggeration, but my point is that something isn't great because it's the latest. Something is great because someone increased it's value after using it or created something of higher value than the equipment used to create it.

> Hackers do not benefit from a closed box with non-expandable performance.

To address this point... some might. But not all will. And I certainly think that fewer will than the generations before. I really hope USB-C will be as great as these companies say it will, but until then I'll happily use my different ports that work as they are expected to.

Plus the whole article sounds like an absurd mouthpiece for Apple.

USB is standard, so now "hackers" are supposed to have an raging lust for standards on Apple hardware?

"Don't worry, the dongles are USB standards too". I don't give a rats ass if dongles are standard are not. I am not lugging around dongles to connect my phone to my laptop.

I use Ubuntu and One Plus 3 and USB 3.1 Type C works like a charm with 10 Gbps speed. I got 100 pieces of really good quality cables for around $2.5 each, used up around 25 around my house, office and car (removed link)

I am not spending 1 bazillionton dollars on the same or worse quality Apple cables.
Yeah but it's not clear where that weight will come from, or how much it will be.

> However actual bias is extremely difficult to prove.

Actually it is extremely easy. It is easy to tell if an article has an angle or as not, by the choices of word and expressions. For instance, let's take the immigration crisis in Europe. Whether a media chose to call immigrants "illegal immigrants" or "asylum seekers" denoted bias in one direction or another. So left-wing media called them "asylum seekers" because they wanted to paint them in a good way, while right-wing media called them "illegal immigrants" to paint them in a negative way.

Now calling something "fake news" is biased too. All news are fabricated to an extent. "fake news" basically means , "news that don't come from an established source", it's new speak for unsanctioned news, to make it look like trusted news can only come from the NYT, Wapo and co ... it is extremely dishonest, since these media are propaganda organs.

> Opinion pieces don't count towards bias since they should be under a (labeled) opinion section.

Journalists are activists. Whether they write opinion pieces or not. The easiest way to tell facts from opinion is to take multiple sources opposed politically, and compare what they have in common and in which way they differ. Facts may be inferred that way. Off course it gets harder when the media choose not to report events because it contradicts the narrative they are pushing, and we all saw the result in the latest election. They can't blame "fake news" yet suppress information when it doesn't fit their narrative.

So obviously i'm not a journalist, but you could say I'm biased against MSM. More accurately I don't give them the benefit of the doubt just because they are professionals.

In the Kardashev scale a Type I civilization is able to harness the total energy of its host planet. A Type II civilization can harness the energy of it's neighbouring star.

Some scientists believe that we may be able to reach Type 1 status in a couple hundred years.

>The Sun has many billions of years left to go before its red giant phase, and in its red giant phase the problem will be way too much heat, not too little.

Not necessarily. If we continue to advance technologically the only limiting factor besides scientific progress may likely well be how much energy we can harness and the age of the universe.
>buying Real Estate... But it should return well over time...

Lol. You do realize that the avg real estate price is up ~6x since 1975, while the S&P is up ~21x, right...? And before you talk about capital gains tax advantages, look into the absurd subsidies we provide to mortgages. Interest is a write-off, and if you're at all smart about it the appreciation in the property is close to tax-free (except at the extreme high end, but that's not where the gains are).

Now, on to your main point. There's a ton of liquidity (aside: just because there's a lot, is that inherently too much?) in a very specific sector of the market: fintech esp, and the tech sector in general. There is remarkably tight control on other areas of the market (go look at biotech, for instance). The actual problem is that tech startups are the lottery of investment. The ability to hit on one unicorn and make the GDP of a third world country in one year is pretty enticing. Because of this fact, investment in less-sexy sectors of the market is being depressed in favor of lottery tickets. Your proposal addresses this not at all.

This is actually row polymorphism rather than structural subtyping. The difference is rather small, but important:

Under structural subtyping (or any kind of subtyping, for that matter), the subtyping relation admits a rule called "subsumption", which can lead to information loss. Consider this behavior, under structural subtyping:

fun f {x : real, y : real} = {x = 2 * x, y = 2 * y};
(* f : {x : real, y : real} -> {x : real, y : real} *)

f {x = 2.0, y = 3.0, z = 4.0};
(* it = {x = 4.0, y = 6.0}; *)

Above, when `f` is applied to a subrecord with an additional `z : real` field, the result is missing the extra field! This is because the subrecord was subsumed by the (super-) record type taken by `f`, leading to information loss. This is the reason why you often see people using up-casts in languages like Java (especially before generics were introduced) and Go (which is lacking generics for some befuddling reason): up-casts allow you to circumvent the type system and force a particular value to take a particular type, thus recovering the lost information, but can be unsafe.

Under row polymorphism, however, you can achieve basically the same effect, but you get to save any unused/irrelevant type information inside of a row variable (the `..` in your example) and include it in the result. Then, no information is lost, and no safety is compromised:

fun f {x : real, y : real, R} = {x = 2 * x, y = 2 * y, R};
(* f : {x : real, y : real, _ : ..a} -> {x : real, y : real, _ : ..a} *)

f {x = 2.0, y = 3.0, z = 4.0};
(* it = {x = 4.0, y = 6.0, z = 4.0}; *)

Users of languages like Lua or Python might be reminded of "duck typing", and not without reason: row polymorphism enables many of the same programming patterns/techniques/abstractions in typed languages that are enabled by duck "typing" in untyped ones. It's a shame that more typed languages don't incorporate the idea, because it's a really wonderful one, and it can lighten the relative "burden" of writing typed code in some cases :)

The folks at INRIA has come up with some really neat stuff, and, if you haven't already, it's definitely worth it to check out their publications, too!
How is having a vehicle that is hibernating and can be contacted with considered polluting the orbit? It's not like it is debris.

Build a meshnet with them.
Journalists are activists.

This is a bit extreme. Activist implies that the journalist is actively pursuing a biased agenda. There are journalists who strive to pursue a largely objective take as much as possible, acknowledging that there will always be some bias due to human nature.

I've tried taking notes of my reading in the past, but struggled because they either (1) were incomprehensible sometime later or (2) interrupted my flow of reading

I wonder if anyone has techniques / software (voice to text) they would share..
No, that seems about right. The “Progressives” (I consider them to be a peculiar West Coast form of conservative) have now made unprofitable subsidized housing an integral part of any large-scale housing project, which means housing can’t be built unless the financiers can expect the market-rate prices to remain sky-high. So, when prices go down, they have to stop building.

What would make a difference is additional YIMBY pressure to roll back these harmful restrictions and delays, and allow housing to be affordable to build.
