Raising prices destroys demand. It's not immediately clear that 5 well employed people and 5 unemployed people are preferably to 10 poorly employed people.

If the 5 who would be unemployed have some superior alternative, why aren't they doing it already? Or would you say they should be forcibly unemployed to combat their laziness in looking for better work (which you apparently think exists)?
A voting system is not just the statement to use UUIDs, oh and to use some other check when you are shown that UUIDs are not complete. There is a lot that goes into actual large scale system design.

P.S. You keep writing "UDID", but you really mean "UUID". The UDID is a specific implementation of unique device identifiers. They have nothing to do with individual people.
Thank you for the list. It is way longer then I expected. It's also interesting to take a look at the criteria used for the creation of the list.
A coal power plant can reach up to ~60% if coupled with steam turbines, otherwise it's ~30%.

Petrol cars can do a lot better than 20%

There is a study, link below, showing what the subsidy should be for electric cars and in a lot of places in the US the subsidy should be negative.

Granted things might've changed since then, but probably not to overturn the gist of it, which is the point I'm making. In places, EV cars are not the solution.

Quite happy to be proven wrong, at the of the day I've only got a passing interest on the topic so I'm not exactly 100% up to speed with any new studies, etc ...

Voters know in their bones that the voting computers are bad. Voters are not the problem.

Returning to paper ballots means less cheddar for cronies. Happily there's a workaround. Postal balloting (close the poll sites)!

Ballots are digitally scanned as they're received at central count. So it has all the downsides of the touchscreens with all new vulnerabilities (undetectable alterations, signature mismatches, preview election counts, voter coercion...). But voters get the comfort of paper and it keeps the cheddar flowing for the cronies.

Gun control is a completely different kettle of fish, because it is so unlikely for someone to recover from an attack; these aren't beanbag shotguns we're talking about. Also, there are no procedures that you can follow to prevent an unexpected bullet from quickly killing you, whereas with, say, an unexpected DoS, you can take measures to mitigate it after it has already started to hit you. With a security breach, you can lock down, wipe and recover from backups. But that bullet, it is just so uniquely final (and therefore, off topic, hence the downvotes).
Right. You can say something's "private", but there's always a way to access it. As far as I'm aware, this has never been an actual problem, and in fact has been useful since you can "patch" a library if you really need to.
> I don't see how anyone can be against this. Should we really take an unskilled immigrant who can't speak english over an AI researcher?

Probably; the nonskill categories in US immigration are mostly family-unification categories. The people it brings over have stronger US roots than economic migrants without close family tied here, plus bringing them in reduced outbound remittances and increases domestic velocity of money, spurring demand and creating jobs.

Bringing in additional competition for US workers in high paying jobs keeps wages down and increases returns on capital, which certainly benefits capitalists and the immigrant in question, but less so the country.

If Trump wanted to “make Mexico pay” for the wall (or, better, actual useful US government services), he'd increase the quotas for legal, family-based immigration from Mexico, keeping money that would otherwise flows out into Mexico in remittances in the US domestic economy through more (taxed) exchanges.

As others have pointed out, the use case for pasting plain text passwords is not quite clear. Maybe it would be a good idea to allow searching for hashes only, or at least hash the password in js on the client.

Also, I'm genuinely curious as to why SHA-1 is used and not SHA-256. Surely the one-time additional cost of using SHA-256 would've been negligible for Troy?
If at some point somebody manages to do preimage attacks on SHA-1, I have to assume my password is broken if I've submitted its hash to his API. Although I guess you'd have to actually be able to enumerate preimages, preferably from small to big. Still, I don't understand why Troy doesn't account for the possibility by using a hash function widely considered to be stronger.

Shouldn't we all avoid US conferences?

Half the people have some day done something which in a generic way is "against US interests" (from a false name on Facebook to competing against a US corp to starting a petition or a secure app). I personally don't go to US conferences or visit US customers, simply because of TSA (same for Japan and China; Europe has a better track record). If you have a choice, it's not really giving the world a service to choose the USA land to organize a conf, as it will exclude many, many people.

This brings the memory of Internet chats in the 90s when almost nobody used Polish letters with diacritics (because it is faster to type without them and there were a lot of different incompatible encodings). Usually you can understand the meaning from the context but sometimes the same kind of funny misunderstanding would happen as there are quite a few words that without diacritics become completely different but valid words.

The National Research Council conducted a thorough review of evidence some years ago and found no correlation between the introduction of gun control measures and reduction in violent crime. In certain jurisdictions, there is a negative correlation (probably unethical to do a RCT, so we'll never know if causal) between certain thresholds in gun ownership rates and the rate of violent crime. The accidental injury and death figures are not convincing when compared with other common risks.

If your respirator monitoring machine gets hacked, or your records can not be retrieved to show a drug sensitivity, you could die from complications in an ER. I know for a fact that the hospitals near me run Windows XP, connected to the public internet, on mission critical systems. If a system which controls a switchable lane freeway signal gets hacked, even with generic malware which accidentally causes a crash, a distracted driver could plow into another.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, 100kWh is not the "low limit" of how much energy you need to get an temperature controlled home in the South for a day.

This is the figure in an environment where electricity costs nothing and there is zero pressure from home design to the actual AC unit to reduce consumption. Let's face it, this attitude isn't going to fly in the future. You could probably cut that figure by a good 10% by installing your choice of solar panels or a bunch of trees, just from less sun hitting the structure.

(Cut it in half if you consider the average American in the South lives in a freakishly large house fit for a queen with entourage and is cooling all of it..)

> Rust can’t guarantee that a value is consumed exactly once.

As far as I can tell this isn't relevant to the pattern being discussed though. All that matters is that a type can be consumed at most once, which is a capability provided by both linear and affine types. If you're worried about guaranteeing that the state machine ends gracefully (in this case, the socket being closed), then that's the role that destructors play. Indeed, the fact that destructors exist is what initially gives the impression of Rust having a linear type system; the only time that Rust doesn't guarantee exactly-once behavior (degenerating to at-most-once) is when the destructor leaks, which is pretty hard to do by accident (e.g. creating cyclical references in Rust is non-trivial).

> I'm trying to get them to say "czypy"

You can try to interest "Rada Języka Polskiego" (Polish Language Council) into this topic. Just because we all know, every Polish speaker will follow their advice diligently :).

In early 90's, after the COCOM embargo on import of computers into former then Eastern Block had been lifted, there were initiatives to translate English-sounding word into something more native to Polish language.

An example of a word that badly needed such translation was 'interface', for which a proposed translation was 'międzymordzie' (literally: a thing between two faces) which sounded hilariously bad in Polish. There was another proposal to name 'computer mouse' as something even better, but I've forgotten the name since.

Fortunately, nobody followed, and 'computer mouse' is simply 'mysz' (mouse). I hear, that French had longer lasting successes with their translations.

This is their MO. Growth at any cause. Passengers get raped? Oh well. Tell them it was fake! There was that story where they hired a known convicted rapist in India, who then raped a passenger, and then Uber executives tried to discredit the victim and say it didn't happen. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jun/15/uber-indi...

Unable to read the article linked, but this is Classic Uber and the reason that capitalism needs more regulations. Cars catch fire? Oopsies!

Companies like Uber should not be allowed to operate at this insane "growth at any cost". It's not functional. It's not human. They can't be bothered to do background checks on drivers or safety checks on cars. They shouldn't be allowed to operate.
attr_reader :my_prop is just a shorthand way of creating a convenience method that returns the internal value of @my_prop. But in any case, there is always a way to access a Ruby object's internal instance values. See my other comment in this thread.
Downvoting this comment because:

1. Afaik every single OO language allows this. I wouldn't know of prior art for the opposite behavior (only allowing access to the same object).

2. TypeScript works under different constraints and - for all intends and purposes - doesn't implement private properties when it comes to the final, running program. The reasons why TypeScript isn't a battle test solution are laid out pretty explicitly in the Github thread.
>Its possible to have a site that is a mashup of /r/programming, /r/programmerhumor and /r/learnprogramming (and a few others) all on one site.

The fact that these are three separate subs and not one kinda betrays your point though. How did it get this way, where there are multiple subs? Is it because the mods were overbearing, or because the community decided what it wants and doesn't want?

There are cases when content from one sub seeps through to another, and the blowback isn't nearly as bad as what you see on SO.

US law enforcement would be horrifically, jaw-droppingly corrupt if 20% of arrests were "malicious." But even then, 80% of arrests would be non-malicious, so a very strong prior that a given arrest is malicious would be completely unreasonable.

"US law enforcement is the bad guy, therefore any given choice they make is probably evil" is fiction-logic. It works in movies, not in real life.
I started doing it in 2016, so while I seem to come up with various facts that I read from the books in conversations when something related to what I have read comes up, I don't know how much of each book I actually remember.

It's not especially easy! That's what worries me about laypeople writing crypto libraries. If you know to look, you stand a reasonable chance of learning enough about error oracle side channels to avoid writing something that recapitulates Bleichenbacher's RSA attack. But even if you remember someone telling you to look out for carry propagation bugs, I'm not sure you have a good chance of figuring how how to test for (or exploit) a carry propagation bug. And there are other bugs like this.

Isn't that down to just subreddit curation? Go look at askscience or askhistory, the top level responses are always relevant or they get deleted by the moderators. Nothing stops someone from making askprogramming that has that level of curation. The problem just becomes incentives, in that getting experts to write informative responses for free is hard, and once SO rating stopped mattering (like how reddit karma never mattered) people stopped trying to participate.

Who’s to say he didn’t call his family? The linked article cites a “close personal friend” who has been in contact. The fact they didn’t give a heads up to random reporters and Twitter users after arresting someone isn’t scandalous.
>It's disturbing how often success is measured by optimizing a single metric, and how resistant people can be to recognizing issues with this approach.

this is very true. The zeal of data driven approaches sometimes reminds of "craniometry" where people tried to gauge intelligence by measuring the shape of one's skull.

The trade off of using quantitative methods is always that you might lose too much meaning. The good thing about data driven approaches is that they are transparent and enable objective decision making, but people need to pay close attention and be alert that whatever it is they are measuring still has some qualitative justification.
