The thing is, up until now, there was a false sense of security that if someone didn't have your SSN, they couldn't open up financial accounts as you. And there was little being done to protect people whose SSNs are already disclosed in some way.

With such a large percentage of our social security numbers being potentially outright public, financial institutions need to stop assuming that an account holder is legitimate because they provide an SSN. And it is in their best interests to do so, since they end up on the hook in most cases for fraudulent accounts (after putting you through an awful process to prove it isn't yours).

For example, rather than letting someone sign up for an account with the SSN as a verification of identity, new credit accounts could potentially be considered probationary (or just outright not created) until a one-time code is mailed to the credit holder's established home address (based on their existing credits and payment history) as confirmation that the real person with that SSN authorizes that transaction. While such a step would not be completely impossible to defeat, it would mitigate attackers on the other side of the globe opening fraudulent accounts.
>there are also some crucial cases where it was majorly non-compliant - TV coverage of the Vietnam war being possibly the most significant & influential example.

Indeed, though you'll notice that ever since the gory coverage of Vietnam the mainstream media censors war to a much higher degree because they learned TV audiences find the true images of war to be unbearable. Public support for war drops sharply when they see the mangled dead bodies of their own soldiers while they eat their TV dinners.

"Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America - not on the battlefields of Vietnam."

Not the OP, but I try it every year or so and always give up after a few weeks. I've been using DDG again for about a week or so, and the results are still about as bad as I remember. It's fine for really common searches such as finding a company's website that I don't remember the domain name for or getting quick info about popular places or things, but anything even slightly obscure (like "how do I do x with y?") is almost always useless. I very quickly get into the habit of adding "!g" to the majority of my searches.

That said, I'm going to try to keep using DDG this time. Although most of my "important" searches are still going to Google, at least they're not seeing absolutely everything I search for.

Bodega - for some reason, the author doesn't mention the already extant, amazing vending machine technology in Japan

it's interesting that some people take the angle on this story that Bodega wants to put immigrant run NYC bodegas out of business. but that's just one angle on the story.

another angle is that, inevitably, some of the employees of SV's Bodega will be among the population of much lauded, indispensable, highly educated immigrant programmers, earning high salaries and contributing their unique talents to "the most dynamic and creative economy in world."

still another angle is that any current corner store employees whose jobs are eliminated by these new high-tech vending machines will be "free to pursue other, more profitable careers" (a favorite argument of certain economics writers).

yet another angle is that the WP author is an unimaginative Luddite who doesn't want new efficiencies to be introduced into the marketplace and can't see that these vending machines might complement existing corner stores, etc.

journalists are great. they can always spin a story like this in a direction that lets them fling sh*t at an upcoming enemy of the people (in this case, Silicon Valley corporations).

I think it's a stretch to call denial of entry to one of the most exclusive institutions of the world as "not treating them as normal humans".

Reading between the lines from the text here (which I admit is speculation), I think there's substantial chance the admissions office feels there may be a shoe yet to drop (note that her son's body was never found... which based on the text of the article is likely to mean she never told the authorities where it was, which raises questions about what else might have happened).

They specifically cite the possibility that her description of her crime amounted to deception. Between that and the possibility of more secret land mines that might reveal she has done something even worse (i.e. actively killed the child), I think it's totally reasonable for the administration to say "No thanks, we're full to the gills with no-risk applicants."

No one is entitled to be selected for graduate study at Harvard. And she seems to be doing fine with other offers. So I think as a society we've done reasonably well in giving her a chance at a new life.

Example 4: Aragon - Decentralized trust-less companies - Test their alpha version - it seems the solution on the governance of open source apps

Example 5: Decentralized exchanges - check etherdelta.

The above are just really basic examples - we are still in a really premature phase. The whole point of cryptocurrencies is that I can trust and exchange labor, money or whatever with anyone worldwide without me even knowing them.

The worldwide economic crashes were the result of people trusting 3rd parties such as banks, investment firms etc. This problem can be solved.

Not so well on displays with non-integer scale factor (1.25-1.5x).

If you think the only reason to use a self-hosted social network is if you want to circumvent the laws, you're making the same argument as only wanting privacy if you've got something to hide.

But you are not increasing prices. Taxes gets passed on to consumers because companies do not take hit on profit margin just because of different tax rates.

So lets assume €10M is the already inflated ammount to accommodate for Ireland/Sweden share. Then only (€3.12m, €5.25) was needed from (Sweden, Ireland) if taxes were zero. €3.12m + €5.25m = €8.37m. €163k (€10m - €8.37) went to Govts. Then consumption taxes would be
(28.2%, 14.2%) for (Sweden, Ireland). Swedese are paying (.282-.142)/(1+.142) = 16.3% more than Irish for same product.

You can calculate all these from equation in my comment before. I write here again,

R'(1-T) = R

whereas
T is tax rates.
R' is inflated revenue.
R is zerotax revenue.

>they've got such a nice position in the economy there's probably a bit of an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality. Is that correct?

I'd say your intuition is basically correct. If we use average programmer's salary of $84k[1], that places the income in the top 30%. If we extend the statistics further to include Silicon Valley salaries of $200k+, that places them in the top 5%.

I can't think of any unionization in labor history that originated with members in the top 5% of salaries. That includes unions in manufacturing, arts (film/tv), sports, transportation, etc.

Yes, NFL & MLB players make a lot today but their unions happened before the advent of TV and playing pro sports was not a highly paid endeavor. (Early MLB players had to have 2nd jobs and share hotel rooms on the road.) As a thought experiment... one might argue that if the NFL were to restart today after the invention of TV, there would not be a players union. Instead the roster of 53 football players would be 53 independent contractors. Indeed, modern players in "sports" teams like eSports are mostly independent contractors. The technology of tv magnifies individuality (Tom Brady's face also sells cars & watches for endorsement deals). Today's marketability of the individual instead of the team would make it harder to convince 50%+ of players to elect union representation. (NASCAR drivers and UFC MMA fighters had/have grumblings about union representation that have gone nowhere so far. Also, they first have to switch to from independent contractors to employees -- which is another set of hurdles.)

Some airline pilots (with seniority) are 5% salary but in the 1930s they weren't when the union formed.

So, when would 50%+[2] programmers willing want to pay union dues -- say 1.5% (SAG) or 1.4% (UAW) of their salary?!? When the economic conditions of programmers match the poor conditions of the previous successful unionization efforts. We're obviously nowhere near that situation with software devs (even ones without college degrees) earning good salaries.

Some other commenters recommend that now is the best time to unionize because the current times are good for programmers. My question to that is... has that ever happened in history?

Basically, the main driver for unionization is economic conditions instead of ideological stance. If one believes more in the the ideology rather than economics, then yes it seems realistic to think that top-5% salary earners will vote themselves into a union. Since I emphasize economic conditions, I predict they won't -- at least not within the next 10 years. If a breakthrough AI happens to make programmers a commodity equal to burger flippers, the economics stresses on the profession changes which makes unionization more realistic.

They come back, "hey merchant, would you like to be able to make sales you wouldn't otherwise realize?" Why, yes, where do I sign up?

Point being, it's really important to recontextualize so as not have to overcome the burden and baggage of what you're replacing or enhancing.

Asteroid mining for use on Earth is pretty silly. Take the example in the article, Platinum. According to Wikipedia, platinum is 0.005 ppm of the earth's crust, which is 2.3 x 10^22 kg. So there's about 1.1 x 10^14 kg of Platinum on earth, and we mine 200,000 kg per year. We're not going to run out any time soon.

But as the article implies, mining asteroids for use in space makes a heck of a lot of sense. That's a very different market.
