I think both sides think it's ridiculous. But it serves a purpose for the union: job protection.

Corporations want as few people doing as much work as possible. And they will have no qualms about laying people off to achieve that (TFA). Putting absolute restrictions on tasks puts a floor on employment. It's not ideal, but somewhat effective.
I work at Verizon and they gave me a MBP with root access...so this is not universal at the company.
Yes you are likely correct that "most recent" being the "most likely" is not accurate. However, there is a distribution and it has a peak. It is certainly not flat, so it is incorrect to say that the entire set constitutes an "effective anonymity set" while at the same time claiming that Monero's ring signatures only have an "effective mixin size" that is smaller than the actual size due to the same non-uniform distribution.

> In Monero, the adversary can refine their guess of the distribution based on the inputs that are actually mixed in, and that is what creates the privacy weakness.

That is not what is claimed in Section 4 of the paper. Section 4 merely indicates that of potential outputs, the time distribution introduces a bias toward the most recent (actually in Monero this might be inaccurate in some cases too: very, very recent might be less likely than merely very recent; the paper does not examine this). In Zerocash the same time distribution bias exists, though across a larger set of potential coins (or notes or whatever it is you call it).

However, very old members of that set are essentially irrelevant as their probability in the distribution is almost certainly extremely low (this is the same reason that more older outputs in Monero are essentially irrelevant).
Shorter: "logic is not the same as truth."

Mundane corollary: "You can make a case for anything."
I was going to make another comment, but just found out while searching that WSL is //supposed// to be based on Ubuntu (20)16.04 now (instead of 14.04) I guess the next time I work with those systems I'll have to run down some upgrade / re-install directions.

I wonder if that will fix the issue where I was unable to mv folders around the c:\ drive within the /mnt/c FS. (It more or less locked up to the point that I had to restart to clear the issue.)

Nim is the language I have always thought was a brilliant idea that I never get to use. It's a shame.

Nim is to C/C++ as CoffeeScript is to JavaScript. A highly extensible template language atop a portable language with libraries for practically everything.

So why haven't I hopped on the bandwagon? Outside of C++, C, and Fortran - the only way I have ever learned a new language is through using a REPL. How much of Python's and MATLAB's (and maybe even Julia's) success is due to having a brilliant REPL?

I am not complaining, and I do not have any free time to fix it. But man... if Nim just had a killer REPL that allowed me to slowly learn the language properly while not being blocked from my daily work... it would be just killer!

The blog post didn't cover all the new features, but both of these use-cases are supported in Relay Modern - https://facebook.github.io/relay/docs/new-in-relay-modern.ht...

GraphQL Subscriptions are supported: applications must inject a network layer that provides support for connecting to the server and receiving subscription updates. Local state is supported via client-only extensions to the schema, combined with an imperative update API. More docs coming soon :-)
> That is still regressive

No, it's clearly not. Lemme give you some examples assuming a 15% flat tax and a 25K pre-bate (or credit, or whatever you want to call it):

1) 25k income, $0 tax - effective tax rate = 0%
2) 50k income, $3,750 tax - effective tax rate = 7.5%
3) 100k income, $11,250 tax - effective tax rate = 11.25%
4) 1M income, $146,250 tax - effective tax rate = 14.625%

It's clearly a progressive tax, as the rate goes up as income goes up. Feel free to call the above rates or the idea of a flat tax unfair, but please don't try to glance the meaning of well defined terms like 'regressive tax' to mean what you want them to.

The question is where else are merchants going to go? Many of them been selling there for years (decade isn't unusual)

The stupid military gov doesn't care any civilian's issue generally. They don't really have a solid plan on how those merchants going to do next. Let them figure out alone.

They are unlikely able to just go home. I mean their hometown as you know THE dream city is here, it is just not evenly distributed to anywhere else in the country.

It is not a trivial problem for long-term (not too long for the technical debts you have to pay though) We pay tax and hope those genius politicians (Wanlop Suwandee, he holds a Ph.D.) can help citizen but nope.

You presuppose governments just spend what they get, no-one benefits in any way, and tax rates have no impact at the margins. You're so completely off the mark I don't know where to start.

It's fine to be cynical about rich people avoiding tax and the benefit of government programs, but you need to understand what you're being cynical about. The fact is that tax cuts do reduce revenue so having higher taxes clearly did something.

> he said if he goes one dollar over 250k he would make less than if he had not gone over that threshold.

That actually is theoretically possible - there are numerous tax credits and deductions that come with income caps, and while they are generally phased out, it's not always a smooth slope, and can have some cliffs.

Obviously he'd be in a very odd and like one-time situation if that were the case, but it is possible with how screwy our tax system is.

I've seen Dr Ken Perlin give some very convincing arguments for how networked AR has the potential to completely change human language. When the fundamental nature of what we see is completely arbitrary, and we can elect to share that with other people in situ, then we basically become magicians.
I think a lot of Labour MPs are in a tricky ethical and political bind at the moment.

When they were elected, Corbyn wasn't leader. The platform they were elected on wasn't Corbyn's, and the people who elected them were their local constituents, not just Corbyn-supporting members of the Labour party.

On the other hand, they ran under a Labour banner, which will be why quite a lot of them are MPs today, and it wasn't the New Labour of Tony Blair, it was the Labour of Ed Miliband, which now belongs to Jeremy Corbyn.
Are you sure? Because that's a waste of resources. I'd imagine they would cache the results, which would make the GP's concerns about speed valid.

Number one question: What don't I know yet?

Known unknowns are what make an estimate a range. Unknown unknowns are what will make it completely useless.

For the known unknowns, make them knowns. Put together best and worst case scenarios. Weight your estimate towards the worst-case scenarios.

Unknown unknowns, well... the trick is to turn as many of them as possible into known unknowns. Skim through the code you're extending, or sketch yourself a diagram of what you're building from scratch. Check your assumptions about APIs or available data. If it's a small project, have an idea as close as possible to exactly what lines you'll have to write/change to accomplish your task. If it's a very large project, write the tiniest possible proof of concept of the riskiest portion to validate your assumptions before giving an estimate.

Make yourself a checklist of steps to complete your task. Break those down into at least three sub-steps for each step. Then break those steps down further until you're down to tasks that will take no more than two hours apiece to complete.

Don't forget to include time for writing automated tests; for manual testing; and for fixing things that don't work the way you intended the first time around.

If you're being asked for a turnaround time estimate rather than a person-hours estimate, don't forget to include time spent waiting for answers or verification from other stakeholders. If you're integrating with a third-party service, include time for back-and-forths with tech support, and for implementing workarounds because their platform doesn't actually do what it says it does the way it says it does, and (if they're a new vendor) for contract negotiations to drag on.

Then multiply your estimate by two.

Historically, the USA isthe only apex empire that hasn't regressed. So either we're literally exceptional or...
I've met quite a few and heard from even more IT guys that worked for them. I can at least add a few data points I've seen.

First is reason nothing goes away at most big companies: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's something they understand, they're often lay people who might not want to learn something else, they might have tons of stuff built on top of it (tech or processes), tons of important information stored in old emails (it's archive medium, too), and they'll get emails from other people anyway. So, why not keep using what you've been using.

A few others I hear occasionally on top of that big set. One that I like is that it's asynchronous. They can put emails off easier without it seeming like they're ignoring people. Managing it is fast and easy vs some web apps for communication. The security might be perceived as better esp with security software they likely have for email & data breaches they see on other things that aren't intranets or Gmail. It's decentralized, vendor-neutral protocol which existed for ages (stability). Bosses in smaller firms even use it straight-up as free alternative to paid chat or archive tools if it's Gmail. Just to avoid paying anyone past the ISP which is also cheap or someone's Wifi haha.

So, there's a few I've heard that tell me email ain't going anywhere.

At what point does positive press become "unrelenting"?

This is just stupid.

Are you saying that Theranos was over-hyped?

If that's what you mean then just say it.

This is really survivor bias talking. If something actually succeeds at delivering the moon, then there's no unrelenting positive press. There was an accurate depiction of what was going on. It's only in hindsight that you can call it hype or unrelenting.

And the schadenfreude is doubletime now because not only did the hype fail, but she was also a woman.

> If this helps to reduce the incidence of food poisoning, I'm all for it.

I can think of no reason it would? Why?

Street vendors obviously use food from the markets quickly and should learn from their mistakes on a smaller percent of people.

Forcing people to eat at home means they'll have food bought from the same markets sitting around for longer, less equipment and without any experience on unusual occurrences.

And I'm not sure why educated adults should be denied the amazing experience of street food in any case.

Plus I'd be guessing the child got that from a restaurant, assuming they are tourists this is where most get sick from in my experience (generally I find the less adventurous are the ones who tend to get sick)

How to monetize a dynamic coupon startup?
I need help. I am starting a dynamic discount/coupon company called Clout Cash. Basically, people link their Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube account and we score their account based on influence/engagement (we do NOT take into account how many friends/followers someone has) from 2 to 9 with our proprietary formula. The higher the influence you have, the higher the discount. Discounts range from 20% (for someone with 2) to 90% (someone with a score of 9).

We are partnering with brands/companies to supply the discount codes. The company chooses, for example, how many 90% off codes they want us to give out. I have 100 company's signed up/interested. The site is currently being built.

What I'm struggling with is how to monetize this. As business owners, how much would you pay?

I made https://github.com/raszpl/smplayer4YT for windows and chrome/vivaldi/opera
I've built a complete web application that is entirely serverless except for the database - I have an instance running Postgres. This is because Postgres I the only database I want to use because it always meets my needs.

Everything else is serverless however.

My application has:

-- AWS Cognito as the user management and auth

-- AWS Cloudfront serving a Reactjs front end as static files

-- AWS EC2 running Postgres as the database

-- AWS Lambda Python functions for the back end

-- AWS SES serverless email inbound and outbound processing

-- AWS SQS for email processing coordination

Oh I do in fact have another server which does spam checking of emails, PDF conversion of emails, text extraction of emails and parsing of emails - this works best on a server rather than serverless.

The most interesting thing I found along the way is that the API gateway (which I liked a whole lot by the way, and found to be powerful and easy to configure) is completely unnecessary. My application simply directly calls the Lambda functions to get and set the data that it needs - dramatic simplification.

Of further note is that I only have one Lambda function for the entire back end - this further reduces the need for layers of APIs and parameters. All my Python code goes into the one function which is structured as a complete application. An additional benefit of this is that AWS Lambda can be slow to first run a function unless it is "warm". If you have lots and lots of small Lambda functions then any given function is less likely to be warm. With everything in the one Lambda function, then all parts of my Lambda function are more likely to be warm.

So no API gateway completely rips out an entire layer of complexity, and then only one single Lambda function rips out another layer of complexity. It's very nice to be able to write front end functions in ReactJS that just call the back end function that they need. Making changes means I just change the functions and don't need to fiddle with all sorts of REST API layers or anything to accommodate the change.

I started with node.js as the Lambda back end but switched to Python because personally I find that Python with its synchronous programming model is much easier to reason about for back end stuff. I'm more than happy using ES2015 at the front end for ReactJS.

There's a "bug" in the MK2 script I've never quite understood nor seen explained. Sometimes when jumping at the computer from a certain distance (and perhaps certain difficulty level) it will move back and will keep moving back trying to separate itself from you as long as you press no button. You can walk it into the edge and will stay there, forever trying to move back. Then you could move back yourself, wait a second, and it would throw a projectile, letting you jump in over the projectile for a corner combo.

Yeah, the MK2 AI isn't much fun. It's designed to eat quarters, not to provide a fair fight. :-/
