They do not all need to interact directly with one another. You can create full entanglement even if they linearly interact. It just means you pay a penalty in the compilation of your program.

He probably means modification by those who have physical access, which means often the users, but sometimes they are not the owners.

If you have devices like cable box or water meter, the real owners do not want you to modify the device. That's where mechanisms like dm-verity step in.
For me the real story here is that despite the ascendance of right wing populism the GOP in D.C. is doing the exact same thing it has always done : tax cuts for the rich while shrinking services for the rest. That and deregulating wall street.

Sure, the GOP in D.C. doesn't give two pennies about climate change, more parks, more air, fair treatment, or the rest, but they also are doing nothing different that will substantially help the Atlanta warehouse worker either.
Why do we need to reward people just for being the winners of the cosmic lottery? If you outperform what would be expected given your parental income, early education, intellect, and various other factors that are the result of mere chance, then maybe you should get a cookie. Otherwise, why celebrate the predictable outputs of predictable inputs?
Now you sound willfully ignorant too.
I don't get the greenhouse gas savings.

If anything, Uber is generating greenhouse gas. People who didn't have the convince of Uber; might have walked, took public transpiration, biked, or planned their errands/drinking better?

And I have a weird feeling, even leasing a cab for $125/shift, is better than providing a late model, four door Uber approved vechicle on your dime.

It's Uber's vechicle requirement that always rubbed me the wrong way. Those Uber drivers are not independant contractors.
I'm reading here a lot of people jumping through some massive amounts of hoops to deal with a system that lock you down to a single vendor, and makes it hard to read logs or even read your own bill.

a few years back, the mantra was "hardware is cheap, developer time isn't". when did this prevailing wisdom change? Why would people spend hours/days/weeks wrestling with a system to save money which may take weeks, months or even years to see an ROI?

Where does this idea that OpenVPN is TLS come from? No, it does not appear like HTTPS nor does it use TLS for the traffic.

OpenVPN has its completely own encapsulation protocol, and it stuffs a few TLS packets inside that to do key exchange, nothing more. (And it's key exchange is odd as they re-implement TLS PRF ... on top of TLS.)

t. Recently implemented an OpenVPN client.
Uber has better quality service from my experience. I still remember, Sat AM in NYC, and Lyft wanted to charge surge pricing when the city is far quieter than during a weekday. Uber did not charge surge pricing on a Saturday morning!
I'm highly skeptical of the claim that printing and distribution costs are not that high. I get that they are not a high part of most publishers margins, but isn't that mainly because they have already invested in the infrastructure necessary to do these things. I would guess at a long timeline for deprecation write offs. This does not make them cheap, by any measure. (Indeed, just try printing a few thousand copies of a book personally, and see how small of a part of your margins this would be.)

Same is similarly true for ebook distribution. It isn't like the infrastructure to do that at scale is free, either. Both in technical of copying the bits around, and in the physical of authors/editors/etc.

However, I fail to see any way in which the advantages do not weigh in on the ebook side heavily.

I remember hearing that Etsy had an unusually large number of women working on the development team. I wonder how this layoff is going to affect that? Will they keep up their diversity initiatives, or do they consider that more of a luxury?

I also read that they were also hiring a lot of bootcamp grads. It would be interesting to see the percentage of layoffs coming from bootcamps.
So fix it then. There's this cycle in American politics of simply regurgitating talking points and not fixing problems.
And yes, minorities in the US often live in poor neighbourhoods. But there's also a large, poor white working class too.

Keep in mind that under Obama, the relative wealth (percent share of aggregate wealth) of minorities and the white working class actually decreased.

While I have no doubt racist policies have contributed to the misfortune of some, when you look at wealth distribution in the US the problem is far bigger than most people think, and spans all races.

Some people still have to do business with paypal... and getting paid via paypal is still a thing with a lot of businesses. It is easier to use paypal directly to pay for things in a lot of cases. Then again, if you're serious about paypal, you'll have their debit card... so that point becomes moot.

"I am convinced that if we are to get on to the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin [applause], we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.

A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. On the one hand we are called to play the Good Samaritan on life’s roadside, but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho Road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life’s highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see than an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. [applause]

A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa, and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say, “This is not just.” It will look at our alliance with the landed gentry of South America and say, “This is not just.” The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just.

A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war, “This way of settling differences is not just.” This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation’s homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death. [sustained applause]"

So they have better security protocols than say the CIA? and yet they have leaks and issues. Generally any system has a person doing something and someone looking over their shoulder. If you get to both your system is compromised.
That's the genius of the GOP. They can motivate the working class while pretty much every policy they make is against the working class.
Uber/Lyft have NOT reduced greenhouse gas. Not a bit. Those rides are still being taken, and inbetween rides, those cars are driving around.

"while not forcing drivers to pay excessing leasing fees for vehicles."

In the same way someone who owed money to the company store didn't have to start doing that, but due to predatory terms, once they did, things get pretty out of hand. And since Uber/Lyft are the ones who dictate those terms, they are to blame.
A tiny, elemental parser in a universe where parsers are closed under certain parser composition operators. Such tiny parsers can be combined using such operators to produce a bigger parser which could theoretically parse anything.
I think your approach is a good one. You're exactly right about working all day and then coming home and trying to work some more, the motivation is just not there. You need all your time and energy to focus on a startup.

I'm currently contracting and trying to build up a financial cushion so I can do the exact same thing.
If you prefer to read what I posted that way, then that's your prerogative. I am simply stating that this isn't some kind of zero sum game or that it's black and white. I even stated (which you conveniently left out) that he does deserve criticism for the issues that happened during his tenure, and I believe he deserves a lot.
No, it's a loaded question. But if you want to play, let us discuss the health of Chinese peasant farmers before and after globalization as well.
> It's a price problem since you need to install a bazillion sensors, motors and other thingies which are basically used only for one purpose.

That's an overstatement. You need to install sensors, many of which you'd install anyway for the modern lane-keeping and crash avoidance features. The sensors are not ruinously expensive and economy of scale incentivizes an automaker that makes both cheap and expensive cars to get these features out to the low end very quickly. As Animats pointed out, you really want to order this stuff by the million, not the thousand.

I guess I wasn't arguing with the crux of what you're saying - having a feature is generally going to be more expensive than not having it. The overstatement was very strong, especially in terms of timeline for reducing the costs of this functionality.
The concept of universal suffrage is a relatively recent thing. Indeed, it doesn't even exist given felon disenfranchisement.

Long story short, it's constitutional because the disenfranchisement of felons was expressly contemplated by the 14th Amendment.

But when the right to vote at any [Federal] election ... is
denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being
twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States,
or in any way abridged, except for participation in
rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation
therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number
of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male
citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

Technically speaking any kind of disenfranchisement is contemplated here. It's just that, excepting felons, the consequence is that a state loses representation. That said, most forms of disenfranchisement would be disallowed under Federal constitutional law for other reasons.
Except that culturally, Amazon has tens of thousands of individuals who would look at you like you had two heads if you asked them to help do it. The culture of the company would reject it. Plus, there are entire security software teams dedicated to making doing things like this harder, or practically impossible.

If someone actually authorized snooping on customer data to get a competitive advantage, you'd know. I spent five years at Amazon, and if there's one thing they instilled in you it was customer obsession. Someone would leak that it had been done just out of spite of the exec who ordered such a violation of the culture.

The people against globalization aren't the poor making $30k/year. It's the middle-class making $80k-$100k/year doing routine work.

Globalization does disproportionately affects the poor the most, but the poor still end up voting for globalist neoliberal Democrats because they offer social services that solve much of the economic disparity problem that globalization creates, such as food stamps, universal health care, college loans, subsidized housing, and public transportation. Meanwhile, the middle-class that actually votes against globalization completely ignores the fact that government offers these social services.

Ultimately globalization is a must, as it just increases efficiency and cuts prices. Ain't no one going to pay $100 for a commodity shirt you buy at Wal-Mart.

And I'm OK with society where a 1% exists. The 1% is what causes skyscrapers and high art to happen. You don't want a society where everyone is equal. It's the differences that makes us great, and in fact may be the central meaning of life. Why would anyone want to be the same as everyone else? You become unnecessary if you're the same bland chunk of ordinary matter as everyone else.
And this actually gave Uber cover to do a lot of stupid stuff.

For one thing, because cabs were so bad, Uber was able to do a lot of stupid and scummy things yet still be way better than cabs.

Also, it had an interesting effect PR-wise. For a long time, whenever I heard something negative about Uber, I just assumed it was taxi industry shills making up ridiculous lies. Because there definitely were taxi industry shills going around (online, newspapers, etc.) and making up ridiculous lies about Uber. Later I understood that some of the negative stuff I was hearing about Uber was a huge lie and some of it was totally true.
To be fair, the paper's author published a book titled "Has globalization gone too far?" in 1997.

Book description:
"Globalization is exposing social fissures between those with the education, skills, and mobility to flourish in an unfettered world market—the apparent "winners"—and those without. These apparent "losers" are increasingly anxious about their standards of living and their precarious place in an integrated world economy. The result is severe tension between the market and broad sectors of society, with governments caught in the middle. Compounding the very real problems that need to be addressed..."

Fair points. I don't know what Trump's actual policy is when it comes to trade deals I was making (bad) assumptions on the fact that he backed out of or signaled backing out of some trade deals that relied too much on market forces doing the reform work for us.
What? Where are you getting that 100k/year puts you in the top 1.6%?

The page you linked says 100k/year (household income) puts you in the top 25% in the United States.

Globally, 32k/year puts you in the top 1%.
http://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/050615...

Top 1% of the United States is a bit harder to find consistent numbers for, but it looks like around 450k/year individual or 1,200k/year household.
http://www.investopedia.com/news/how-much-income-puts-you-to...

Even if you were saying a household of two 100k/year incomes, that only puts you in the top 5-6%.

"raw" email doesn't help much when someone new comes in to the project, and has no access to the previous emails. systems like these keep most of the ceremony of emails, but provide historical access.

Of course, you can set up email group systems with archiving and search in those, but... that's more work, now you may have multiple systems for people to have access to, etc.

systems like this are logical extensions of the ceremony of email with some added benefits.
The diversity ratio is likely not going to be affected just by some people being laid off. I wouldn't expect it to change or to have been a factor in this.

Is this under the assumption that whites aren't discriminated against? Because ooooooweeee is that a invalid assumption. Especially in this day and age. I feel as if I'm not allowed to talk anymore because my white male view is suppressing the minorities. And I'm not joking or being snarky, I've been made to feel this way through several racist (towards white people GASP!) remarks.

"Sadly, the history of science in the twentieth century has led both scientists and the general public to value unity over diversity"

I'm not that familiar with the situation in the fields the author focuses on (chemistry and physics), but seems to me that in general the present-day funding climate strongly favours more applied research (the "diversity" in the author's classification) and can make it quite difficult to work on "unification".
> Tesla will be the first to have a fully autonomous vehicle - care to bet against that?

Yes, I would. Google is way ahead in the tech. Nevermind that they don't have a product. If we're talking strictly about the tech, Tesla is and always has been far behind
Yes. Does it sound like shameless promotion to you? Maybe it is, but some people might have a need for this (and it's relevant to the topic/comment).

A decrease or outright stoppage of opportunistic immigration would help at lessening the gap within the country. This seems like an outright heretical thing to suggest. The GDP would suffer, but workers don't benefit the way they ought to anyway; wages aren't rising with inflation, the 0.1% keep the profits. All the while, worker supply increases just as automation is casting careers into obsolescence. We produce more than enough homegrown talent that struggles to find work - that should be priority number 1.

Japan and the other Asian Tigers will be better off with a declining population, which they're well aware of, despite the fears about supporting a large centennial population. We should be doing the same rather than gouging ourselves, racing to the bottom.

Now, this isn't an assertion I find 100% confidence in, but I'm leaning that way. I'm not sure it's realistically possible to mitigate immigration given the political will it would entail. But if I'm entirely wrong about the promised effects of immigration (as in, in the West TODAY), then I'd like to hear a good retort.

It's also important to consider that reducing or eliminating tariffs is effectively a tax cut for large corporations. Whether trade increases economic efficiency is kind of beside the point, even if we were to agree that economic efficiency is something that national policy ought to attempt to increase.

Eliminating income tax would probably increase economic efficiency as well, but we don't do it because the money to pay for government operation and services needs to come from somewhere.
