They utilize a system whereby they have convinced people that the level of their prosperity is related to the love and favor that god has for them, they also always praise the wealthy for their generous donations to the church and always bemoan the other congregation to work towards becoming wealthy quoting scriptures in contexts that supports their claim e.g ["we are overcoming","the children of god shall inherit the earth","god is wealthy so we must all be too"] e.t.c.

Now what do you think happens after this sort of conditioning, well those who are not wealthy want to become wealthy by force and those who have want to donate more than their peers to be praised and exalted in front of their same peers, the sad part of it all is they always end up praising corrupt politicians, fraudsters and people with suspicious source of wealth.
I pretty much stopped caring about it all after getting tired of always having to put on my best clothes to church every Sunday so as not to be looked down upon by others or hearing how i didn't give enough to god and should do better every service. It all just stopped being important plus i discovered other things to focus my time on and also became an atheist, but sadly members of my family still believe in those stuffs though.

Assuming that the system is resource constrained, that is simply the mathematical nature of scheduling. Where there is statistical variation in the arrival and duration and priority of the work, optimal job scheduling is NP-Hard. [1]

With just a few actors and jobs, brute force can find efficient solutions. Just to throw numbers around using staff as a standin for a more complex model of the work:

+ The search space for 4! has 24 permutations.

+ The search space for 16! has 2.092279e+13 permutations.

Suggests that maintaining efficiency as the company grows will be hard. Profitability is probably a better metric and finding better clients/jobs by adjusting the sales funnel may be easier than engineering organizational efficiency because sales and pricing can scale linearly using well documented practices while engineering an organization requires dealing with the vast variability among individuals and the day to day variability of their interactions (i.e. the client who is having a bad day because their child is struggling in school).

Good luck.

Because in most of Europe, sales tax (which therefore is added onto the purchase of your new iPhone), will in some part go towards the funding of universal coverage free-at-point-of-use healthcare.

In the US you get your phone cheaper. But you buy your healthcare.

Most Europeans would prefer to pay more for their phone and know everybody in their neighbourhood gets free medical for life in return.

I disassembled "n" a couple weeks ago, not just removing the keycap, but the entire butterfly mechanism. Cleaned up then reattached using glue. Works fine now.

As far as I can tell, the mechanism is too fragile / shitty.

There is a single metal dome below the key which acts like the spring and actuator. Butterfly thing is there to keep the keycap in place and distribute pressure so if you hit a corner it directs that to the dome thingy. That metal dome seems to have an issue with heat as most people report problems when the device heats up. Maybe it expands. If you look at the contacts below it looks like there is too little margin for error.

I think this keyboard is gonna create a lot of issues in the long term.
And land values are based on expected net income attainable from the location (whether imputed rent or actual rent). Higher property taxes thus reduce land values, making homes more affordable upfront.
Comcast isn't the problem, but the regulations making it more difficult for competitors to operate in many local markets are a problem. The governments are literally creating the anticompetitive problems you describe.
Maybe, but why not all of that? And some more?

Two other things that helped push me into the nerd side when I was a kid:

- QBasic shipping with the OS on my first computer

- Video games that shipped with map editors (Abuse, StarCraft, Unreal Tournament - the latter actually gave access to most of the source code through it)

I'm in favour of everything that exposes the inner workings of computers. Software, in particular, shouldn't be a black box, even if 99% of the time everyone (developers included) treat it as such.
It would be nice with Android support, otherwise I see no real advantage over electron or nw.js or a web app.
> for gaming GPU and VRAM were actually more important than CPU and RAM

It's probably just the games I play, but these days I'm rarely GPU bound, just CPU bound. It would be great to see some frameworks make GPU accelerated physics (with automatic CPU fallback) easier for smaller game development companies to take advantage of.

For example: Factorio and Space Engineers are primarily CPU bound due to the tracking of millions of objects (Factorio) & physics (Space Engineers).
I also skipped getting health insurance in my 20s, which I deeply regretted when I needed unexpected emergency surgery to remove a diseased organ.

The hospital that did it was religiously affiliated and knocked a huge amount off my total hospital stay, but I still paid a lot out of pocket.

What's worse is, until the ACA came along, that bout of uninsured surgery made me uninsurable from then on--I had "pre-existing condition". The ACA has made it possible for me to actually buy health insurance at all again.

Of course, I'm still hoping the Medicare for All movement starts gaining steam...

In all (okay, somewhat) seriousness, if they really such a demand for waterborne delivery of marijuana that has to be regulated against? Also, the regulations seem to specify that GPS must be used so that the vehicle and by extension the weed can be tracked at all times. Drones come with GPS chips that are just as easily tracked, no? This seems genuinely puzzling.

Driving over it at 5 mph when it was frozen solid would probably be minimal.
What happens in that case is they all do it anyway, except in a haphazard and careless way where you might get mixed up with someone else.

Besides that, sometimes multiple entities do need to know who you are; how is it supposed to work if your insurer and your healthcare providers don't aren't able to match you up to one person?

Probably because prominent American politicians brought up iPhones in health care discussions recently.

We have that battery in our camping gear for my wife's CPAP machine. It weighs 23 pounds. It's not hatefully heavy to deal with.

> Our job now is figuring out how to adapt the ideas of high-performance native code while preserving what makes the web great: URLs, instant loading, and a security model that allows us to forget that we run thousands and thousands of untrusted scripts every day.

URLs are indeed part of what makes the web great. So, too, is being able to read a document on any device imaginable, from a desktop with multiple monitors to a VT100 to a Plan 9 terminal window to a laptop to a watch to a phone to the custom OS I'm building in my free time. Non-progressively-enhancing JavaScript kills that entirely.

Also, I don't think the security model of the web allows or enables us to forget that we're running thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of untrusted scripts; I think it just encourages us to. Really, we shouldn't forget it at all. The web security model — while nothing to sneer at — has enabled wholesale violations of privacy and the reduction of human beings to marketing data.
Integrating Swagger with Spring Boot REST API
No one has mentioned the possibility of using UCB-C as a docking station. Phones are already powerful enough for the kind of work an executive does (email, word processing, spreadsheet). Now if their computer is in their pocket and they can plug into any screen at all they don't need a computer at all.

The progression of the smartphone is evidently to replace the personal computer and the iPhone X should be a step in that direction.

Typical US sales tax of 0-6% versus typical European VAT of 20-25% certainly makes a big difference too.
From the article:

The demise of Senior House is emblematic of a larger shift on campuses across the US. Last year my own alma mater, Wesleyan University, closed down its countercultural house Eclectic, which had existed for a century. A few years ago Cal-Tech shuttered its countercultural dorm Ricketts. “If it were just Senior House I would be upset and sad,” says alumna Christine Corbett Moran, an astrophysicist and engineer who, after graduation, helped write the code for the encrypted chat app Signal. “But I really see it as a harbinger of MIT and other colleges homogenizing and corporatizing.”

I didn't think it was meant to be a political post. The entire thread is about a purported cultural shift that's starving out the environment that people like Steve and Woz thrived in.

In fact, I would be disappointed if it was meant to be about politics because it'd come across as an attempt to shoehorn politics into a discussion about much broader social trends

TL;DR The tech monopoly problem is because Silicon Valley has convinced regulators these firms are entirely new things, not subject to existing rules. Google+Facebook+Amazon+Uber+etc should (a) pay their full corporate taxes and (b) be treated like utilities. For example, if Facebook were a media company, they'd be liable for user content.

Uber flaunting taxi regulations is a special case (IMHO).

Outside of that, be careful what you ask for. In the US, certain utilities are absolutely NOT liable for user content. If you use a cell phone to plan a crime, Verizon is not liable for what is said or written.

I do think the emerging tech monopoly is a problem (Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook), but it's not because of lack of application of old regulations to new use cases.

It's because: technology moves quickly, there are strong network effects, and law+regulations have failed to adapt quickly enough.
> RMS? really?

Yes, Jobs and Gates can't even compare to him.
That's irrelevant. You said that you don't worry about monopolies. They're clearly a problem, regardless of why they exist.

So if that's it, this is just a numbers story. MIT is an extremely selective school. They're loathe to reject 92% of their applicants only to send people they accept to a dorm that increases by double digits the likelihood that they'll fail. The dorm is a support system for the colleges; the colleges are not support systems for the dorms. When that problem persists for years on end, eventually it becomes the administration's job to "solve" it with finality.

There's a story to write about how a relentless focus on academic performance starves out countercultural values, and probably another to write about how dispersing a 15% increase in failure-to-graduate-rate just hides the problem numerically.

But not as much of a story to write about intrigue and malfeasance at MIT.

If all that is true, my major critique would be that MIT themselves seemed unable to be adults about the whole thing. They should have just set a deadline and a specific performance metric, with a clear up-front warning that missing that metric would mean closing the dorm. No interviews, no notes to parents, no "cancelling the steer roast".
It's common to order blood tests when people show symptoms of depression. Hypothyroidism is the most common medical condition associated with depressive symptoms, but there are others.

Depression is considered when people have a null result on those tests, therefore there are physical tests for depression. Just not in the way testing is normally thought of.

“Speaking from the Right Dictionary” – [Episode #88] Make Money Online
You have no idea what you're talking about. I have good friends who are senior house alums. Ive been following the timeline of this action for years. This was managerial capitalism squeezing out non-conformity in order to maximize statistics and minimize liability for problem students. How dare you blame this on any student? No where did this article mention identity politics but you decided to bring it up anyway. People like you are insufferable. You are completely off base.

Lack of understanding of the business model produce bugs that are much more costly to fix, and TDD cannot catch those.

TDD has a place, and finding bugs in production can range from annoying to flat out dangerous depending on the system, but the primary reason for failed IT projects is not bugs, but lack of soft skills, lack of proper business communication. Check https://www.cio.com/article/3211485/project-management/why-i... and see the root of the problems, and notice that the proposed solution does not point to solve the root problems, instead they keep tooting dogmas

I look forward to the problem of speed bumps disappearing when self driving cars take over. In the mean time, I know everyone hates it, but automated camera based speeding ticket systems would be cheaper and more effective than non-Newtonian speed bumps. We're also at a point in technology where cars could easily know the local speed limit and enforce it themselves.

Curious, what's the pitch for this being in Seoul? What are the unique insights from a Korean e-commerce company that could be widely applicable to other e-commerce startups?
I guess so, but in one instance I had 2 video interviews in one day with a total of 4 devs( all of the devs of the team). So it seems like it was both a tech interview (which I answered all their questions and was impressed) and then a "culture" test.

Thru take home test passing, inital 2 calls with people then video calls afterwards just to fail just seems odd but maybe I'm overthinking it. Local interviews havn't been well either. They tend to fall apart in the second call (not video). Seems like most people dont do in-shop interview but all over the net now.
It could be a gateway to other types of drone delivery. We wouldn't want that.
I think the iPad pro is more targeted for the kind of work that an executive does. Docking stations / plugging into any screens don't seem like something that has been well thought out and I don't think that Apple's strategy right now is to market to that kind of audience.

A related question is, what other equivalent email/postal mail do parents get about their kids? Things may be different recently, but my parents got nothing from MIT short of bills, grades, and fundraising. The article seems to confirm this is still true.

Back then, there seemed to be an implicit understanding that MIT, maybe unlike other places, gave you a lot of rope, and it was your job as a student to use it wisely. No parent got a letter saying their kid was caught on a roof (unless they were jumping, an idiot, or hurt somebody).

On the other hand, one autumn a few years after I graduated when I was still advising, I was at a brunch for the parents of new students. The Dean of Students at the time addressed the gathering by saying, "Trust in us. We will take care of your children".

I found it jarring then, and I find it jarring now. One dean, one speech, one fall, but wrong at so many levels.
From what I recall the big issue is that tribal medical conditions are usually for things like parasites. Not for the sort of first world diseases we're looking for.

I've left a comment on your github issue, but the tl;dr is that the encryption document doesn't seem to reflect the code. The comment in the ruby test case suggests that the actual step is 'E = hash( Z2 + R )' instead of 'E = hash( Z2 + D )' where 'R' is the user's randomly generated 'AssignedKey' and 'D' is the masked HSM ciphertext 'KMS(R) ^ Z2'.

Perhaps somewhere during implementation someone realized the document doesn't make sense as written.

Yeah, I kept hearing the same thing about tablets till sales dropped off. I'll believe it when I see it.
It sounds like you're only looking at half of what I said. I don't worry about monopolies themselves because if the market were left alone, they wouldn't be a problem. But I do worry about anticompetitive practices enabled by unnecessary regulation. That's exactly what is allowing Comcast to abuse power in certain markets. Hence, the problem lies not in monopolies, but in the government.

I have to disagree specifically with health care costs... the way the system is structured, with the costs involved, decent healthcare for most sub 26 year olds would break them financially... because the healthcare system is broken, not because the young people are. As a parent with a 17 and 19 yr old, I'm happy I will be allowed to continue my children with decent healthcare at a time when the system is so screwed up, and they will be primarily students in university and grad school.
