The Jungle is a piece of historical fiction that was accurate while remaining fictional, was of course designed to make a point (as all meaningful writing is) and captures an era and expresses in a clear way the inevitable plight of non-wealthy people subjected to capitalism. To dismiss it in this way is to dismiss all of history itself, which is simply accurate stories about people's lives. To not read it is to plug your ears and shout "I can't hear you" about what it's like to be poor or working class under the brutal regime of unfettered free markets and the problems and horrible abuse these people face. But hey, I wouldn't want to complicate my clean and pure political ideology which is completely coincidentally directly in service of my own personal pocketbook and power with a modicum of understanding about the lives of others less fortunate, would I?

Your examples sure are clean. But the real world is dirty. What exactly is "juice?" Are you, a Libertarian, proposing that the government spend years and millions of dollars creating a U.S. official definition of "juice" for labeling purposes? What happens when inevitably companies skirt the line?

And sure if I sell you poison on purpose knowing it's poison wanting to kill you that's murder. What if I'm a company that produces milk but I cut corners and possibly some number of milk products happen to be poisonous, though I never try to poison anything? What if I build cars and realize they will explode and kill people but figure I'll make more money selling them and dealing with the deaths than a recall? What if I use my vast power and wealth to systematically suppress all knowledge about how dangerous my products are and market them as safe and "doctor-approved", watching my smoking customers die thousand after thousand? What if I sell investments I know are bad, but I lie and fake ratings for them and sell them as high-quality, defrauding people by the millions? What if I extort an entire state by manipulating its energy supply? What if I poison rivers, drinking water, give communities cancer, lie about emission test results and poison the air, create children's toys with lead all because it's more efficient? All of these examples I cited have happened, recently, in our currently non-Libertarian society, and are nearly identical to your example and nobody was charged with murder. Libertarians support fewer regulations, less oversight, more market freedom -- the freedom to do all of the above with even more impunity than they do now.

There's still no technical reason why costs are so high, speeds are so slow, and caps exist at all. Some blame can be put on the FCC, tower owners, cities regulating towers, but the carriers themselves have very little incentive to make any radical cost reductions or service upgrades.

I alo had a lumia 950. It does not have face recognition, it has an iris scanner. An infrared light lights up your eyes and then the camera makes an IR picture where it analyzes your iris pattern. The reason it didn't work well is that your eyes had to be open (no squinting, like in bright light), close enough to capture a precise image and in exactly the right spot for the zoomed in camera. I eventually learned a gesture that unlocked it semi-reliably, but it was basically holding the phone right up to my face in the exact right spot.

Now that I see how apple is doing face id I think it will work more reliably ... eventually. I doubt they'll get it right on the first try because this is the kind of feature that has to bake in the real world (like apple maps). Still, they may surprise us like they did with the equally hard touch id feature.
I'm still waiting for my Zune to get macOS compatibility.
> a higher price point for a C++ IDE makes a lot of sense.

Except Eclipse does C++ better than CLion and it's $250 cheaper. The only real advantage JetBrains has here is consistency with their other products, but then they ruined that by putting it in its own standalone product. So you can't have, say, a Python/Java/Kotlin project with a C++ extension library in a single IDE window, at least not if you're invested in JetBrains technology.

Whereas that would work fine in vscode, Eclipse, Atom-IDE probably once it gets a C++ language server plugin which LLVM is working on, etc... Competition is good. IntelliJ is far from complete. That's really all I'm getting at. IntelliJ is not the pinacle, superior end-all-be-all IDE that some were saying here. It maybe is if you're in their primary supported set of languages. But it's not if you're at all on the fringes of what JetBrains supports (not that I'd necessarily call C++ a "fringe", either, but whatever)

I think that's dismissive. I think the stability of PHP to not change too rapidly has made it very attractive compared to the alternatives, as well as the documentation.

When you look at why JS lost its way it changed too quickly, python changed in a non-backward-compatible way, ruby changed quickly (as did all its packages).

Killer feature - in that its going to kill the process.

This is chat. Or close enough to chat that its going to be used as chat.

Chat is terrible for comments. A flame war on chat escalates at the rate at which someone can hit enter.

Flame wars are bad enough, flame wars on chat which persist like comments are a bad idea.

I just wanted to say that I agree with everything you've written in this thread, and I share the same concerns about freedom and the Internet. I'm also an idealist. I recommend everyone with interest learn as much as they can about crypto and distributed systems. It's not a panacea. It's hard. Mathematics and the law appear to be roughly evenly matched, at least in the short term. At the least, it seems to me that crypto/p2p don't stand a chance without at least some support from the law. I think there is a great need for more effort towards user-friendly p2p software. There are a lot of people working on it, but in general they aren't backed by tons of capital. I suppose thats the ideal buried at the heart of the ICO mania. I wonder where all this will end up in another 20 years.

>Because these jobs don't address the power imbalance between men and women in our society.

The "power imbalance" should be represented in all areas, surely? You can't just have the icing on the cake. And I think you've hit the nail on the head, this isn't about equality, this is about control, particularly money and power.

>Lawyers and doctors are highly respected careers that influence the direction of society.

And have begun to dominate these fields now (although I can't find a source of that I would be happy to quote).

>Lots of women pushed into this field.

I'm not sure there has been a significant struggle for a long time.

>Politics also needs more women, as should be obvious given how much states and Congress tries to control women's health care options.

I wouldn't say the main problem with Congress is that there is a lack of women, I think it's very existence is it's largest issue.

>having gender parity ensures female concerns are equally represented as this field evolves

"female concerns" sounds like a terribly generic term, you'll have to be more specific and explain how these concerns override the need for women representation (not necessarily women by the way, just a person who fairly represents them) in politics. My thinking is that tech for the most part is completely genderless, it's simply the application of Science. Most control is tech can be or has been completely overridden by law.

But in general, I think (without being rude and wanting a genuine reply) that you've missed my point with regards to the lower 5% of jobs. My point is that instead of making STEM fields artificially more difficult to get into for men, another option is to make other fields more attractive. Social care for example is horrendously dominated by women, yet of massive importance to society - they are struggling to recruit due to social stigma, yet little is being done to address this.

> The ambiguity is that facebook and youtube can't be sued for hosting illegal content.

Taking that as unvarnished truth [0], for the sake of argument, that's not at all an ambiguity, it's a crystal clear status.

> Yet, even though they have many of the legal protections of being a pseudo common carrier, they have none of the obligations, such as the obligation to treat all content equally.

Again, taking that as true for the sake of argument, its not an ambiguity, but a crystal clear status.

Its a conflict with the false dichotomy of the idea that the only two roles in information dissemination are fully-liable non-neutral publisher and fully-immunized neutral common carrier. That model isn't true offline, and it's not true online.

[0] Which it isn't, because while the CDA and DMCA (and others) provide some limited/conditional protection, they are not a total bar to liability; but the still the status is not ambiguous, merely distinct.
Science Behind E-Commerce Checkout:Information Architecture
I mean, doesn't it seem apparent just from the responses on this thread?

Not at all. Also, for the record, as far as I can tell, James Damore is not a member of the Alt Right. (I identify as a Center Left Liberal.) I have noted that mainstream news people have tried to stick that on him.

If your argument involves hazily imputing motives without evidence, or if you are using a "No true Scotsman" fallacy involving his position -- then I'm afraid you're just using a fallacy.

If you watch Steven Pinker's presentation, you will see a striking resemblance to the science cited in the Damore memo. Until recent years, there was nothing pointedly ideological about the mainstream science referenced in either place. I would urge you to read Pinker's _The Blank Slate_ for a scientist's take on the pointedly ideological and unsupported absolutist doctrine of the human Blank Slate.
This is my only gripe with Apple. It's an incredible PITA to share devices even temporarily. You have to log the primary user out of their phone, login with your credentials and we are in business. This whole process is so long and frustrating that it forbids any sharing experience. I do wish Apple or someone made sharing devices a lot easier.

It's my understanding that Equifax is a multibillion dollar org. (Something in the order of 17 billion USD). Since Struts is a major part of their business infrastructure one would expect a contribution to the Struts project and other software they rely on. They could spin it as "Social Responsibility" too.

In retrospect it seems more cost effective to do so too, even if Equifax manages somehow to pay only a few hundred million dollars.
> I think that's dismissive. I think the stability of PHP to not change too rapidly has made it very attractive, as well as the documentation.

If that was it, we'd all be writing Perl. Seriously. The documentation is better, the backwards compatibility is second to none, it's well designed (even if it's not what people expect, and people often misinterpret how it works because it's just similar enough to most procedural languages to seem the same). Particularly when compared to PHP (which copied a lot of parts of Perl, but did so poorly), it stands up well.

That said, I think you are half there. It's not just stability and documentation, but that with a minimum level of community, which PHP garnered by being dead easy to deploy back when that was actually a concern and in-language frameworks didn't abound. Perl lost a lot of community in the early 2000's, and never really recovered fully from that (relative to popularity of other languages at least).

Why Jamie Dimon Is Right About Bitcoin (2015)
This would be great, if the states had comparable resources and economies, like they (mostly) did when the country was founded. But it hasn't been like that for a very long time, and there are benefits to having the wealthier states help the less wealthy states get some of these things done. That's only going to happen through federal coercion, because states won't volunteer their resources otherwise. (Except for special situations; TX and FL would be getting assistance now from the whole country even if the federal government wasn't involved.)

I'm just relaying the perceptions of a teacher who's been teaching children since the '80s ;-)
Probably because they seize assets only from people who can't afford to mount a defense.
I've got a few answers anyway, if you're interested:

1) The federal government sucks up all of the money -- see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Federal,_State,_and_Local... . And that chart only encompasses income tax -- the overall federal tax rate is closer to 20% GDP. The average person in the US already works until April 24 each year just to pay taxes (if you were to take your all of your taxes and pay them at the beginning of the year). Higher income earners already work well over half the year to pay taxes.

2) People only want these things if somebody else is paying for it. 'Free' healthcare and college tuition seem a lot less 'free' if your property tax (or rent, if your don't own --
landlords still have to pay tax, after all) and/or state income tax suddenly jump by a large percentage to cover it. People are usually very happy to spend somebody else's money (the battle cry is "the rich", but the reality is more like "our children's"), but not their own. Local and state governments have less borrowing capacity than the feds and don't control the currency, so it's harder to obscure the true cost of these things.

3) A lot of people don't actually want them. Although large population centers (which hold a lot of sway at the federal level) tend to favor these things, much of the USA geographically does not. Massachusetts, for instance, already had something very similar to Obamacare (in fact, large parts of Obamacare were based on Massachusetts' "Romneycare" law), but it would have been a cold day in hell before a state like North Dakota passed something like that.
It seems the rule where I am is "always show the number" which means indeed they've very good at picking the opposite.
For me this happens ONLY when my fingers are wet or oily. Otherwise it works 100% of the time.

You are missing the point. The report doesn't compare miles driven with and without autopilot. It compares ALL miles driven in cars with Autopilot function, whether it is turned on or not, vs. cars without Autopilot function.

To boot, these are, for the most part, the same cars before and after, since Tesla shipped cars for almost a year with the Autopilot hardware built in but not activated, then activated it for all cars at virtually the same time via an OTA. Before that date, any miles clocked show up in the "no autopilot" column, the next day they show up in the "with Autopilot" column.

To further flog an expired equine, the study showed a 40% reduction in airbag actuations per million miles driven across all miles driven in cars with vs. without Autopilot function, not comparing only miles where Autopilot was turned on.

There are certainly possibilities for this data to be skewed or biased, but it's definitely not a comparison of safe Autopilot miles vs. unsafe manual miles.

IANAL, but I've read that when there's no explicit patent grant written, an implicit patent grant can be inferred, since MIT says you have the ability to use it (which would require a patent grant if covered by patents). If that is the case, no (explicit) patent grant would be better than this grant.

Indeed, this!

It's true that the process of setting up and managing websites can be daunting. Even using shared hosting, let alone on a VPS. And then there's the additional complexity of HTTPS, which is now pretty much the norm (even when not really needed, with no account creation or payment processing).

Is wanting to be a YouTube channel host really a marker of vanity? It's essentially saying that you want to be an actor, scriptwriter, director and entrepreneur for your own television series. It's the "solo app developer" equivalent for the entertainment industry. Like app developers, I would expect people to get into the business more out of a desire for freedom to set their own hours and not have a boss, than out of a desire to be seen. Except where programming is for introverts, screenwriting and acting comes more naturally to extroverts.

Basically, I see the "YouTube biz" as being much like stand-up comedy, but without the travelling.
