I still hold that this shouldn't matter to consumers.

My priority of problems is

* When fraud happens, banks can pass the pain and burden of proof onto consumers.

* Banks use insecure SSNs for authorization; some data is used for validating eligibility, authenticating the application, and authorizing the loan.

* There are minimal regulations on storing different classes of personal information (We need sarbanes-oxley for auditing/accountability of aggregated personal information).

If 1. was addressed, banks would have an incentive to fix 2., and force credit reporting agencies to improve 3.

Some produce deals don't have much volume flexibility.

A typical deal might look like:

Buy 1k units for $0.20 each with an
option to buy 200 additional units for $0.40 each.

If sales are above 1200 units, the shop likley can't get hold of any at any price.
Well, whatever the initial cause is, clearly having a platform is one of the bigger drivers, and removing it seems like the appropriate response
The question is how directly.

For instance, no reasonable person would argue that the photographer's father deserves the IP rights because he helped create a necessary factor in the circumstances by which the photo got taken (the existence of the son). However, if the father didn't exist then clearly the photo would never have been taken.

So the manufacturer is involved, but very indirectly. The manufacturer definitely isn't the author.

We have the technology to manage credit in ways that are vastly more private and secure than a giant, poorly run, insecure personal data repository.

Using strong cryptography, we can build pseudonymous trust graphs where nodes in the graph (cryptographic identities) publish cryptographically auditable trust relationships. Using various graph exploration techniques (e.g. unrolling the trust graph into a trust DAG with known creditors as terminal nodes and calculating path properties to those nodes, using proof-of-burn and non-distributive path combination to disincentivize Sybil attacks on the trust graph, etc.) we can estimate trustworthiness (or, more specifically, creditworthiness) of cryptographic identities rather than legal identities. In the end, you're probably still going to want to link at least one cryptographic with your bank account, but you would have vastly more control over the relationship between privacy and public verifiability of trustworthiness.

If course, just because this is possible doesn't mean it's going to happen. The primary obstacles to an open, secure trust system are that A) it's harder to make people manage their own trust network than it is to spy on them B) trust networks rely on the network effect and C) there's no obvious way to make money off it. Any extant system that resembles what I've described is mostly limited to tech nerds. I'm not sure what it would take to trick/convince the general population to use such a system.
Yup. That's the trade I guess :)

> Jesus said "the poor you will always have with you". Matthew 26:11. So according to Jesus poor people are just going to be around no matter what. The problem of economic inequality is not solveable.

That's ripping a small quote completely out of its context, and neglecting to point out that because it's not completely solveable doesn't mean that we shouldn't try... and to try is an emphasis of much of the gospels.

Here's the context: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+26%3A6-...

Reading the 3 parallel stories and noting that Judas was the instigator of the complaint according to John, suggests rather strongly that JC was pointing out the hypocrisy of a man whinging about perfume spilled when "He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it." Sounds just like these prosperity gospel megachurches, actually.

On measuring disparate impact
Not a Facebook user, but I did the following with Instagram and never regretted it. If you can't delete the Facebook app, at least disable notifications - you can survive without the distraction of your phone constantly lighting up with alerts about likes or comments and so on.
This is probably a part of the answer. Many reports we heard sounded almost like recordings they were so similar. I found myself anticipating some of this dialog just based on previous dialogs. As I noted earlier, when someone tried to inform listeners that the dam failure probably applied to a different geographic area than the one for their channel it was quickly followed by a person repeating that the dam was about to fail, the Coast Guard was right there with him, etc. I decided that someone either had a narrative they wanted to follow or that they didn't realize they were not on the Houston channel any more.
> It's easier to impress a TED audience than your peers.

this seems like a perspective on a problem with pure theoretical research. like why print "Cycles of Time" instead of publishing in a peer reviewed journal? is Penrose being disingenuous or is he just trying to share an idea he finds interesting even if reasonably speculative?

the EPFL result is interesting even if they wanted to analyze it as network motifs in a directed graph, but that wouldn't account for the symmetry they presumably observed in the "higher dimensional polyhedrons" would it?

It's also worth saying that kangaroo in Australia is a bit like deer in the US: city people think the animal is a bit magical, country people think it's a bit of a pest; some people hunt it for food; you can buy the meat in some butchers but it's not in the diet of most; and occasionally it's culled because of population explosion. The only real difference is that the deer is not a national symbol.
Users generally hate Facebook login but sites use it anyway because it's good for advertising and lets them outsource fraud avoidance to Facebook. The same and more benefits (to sites, not users) apply to government provided auth.

Again, please look at what's happening in South Korea. I think you're vastly underestimating how likely businesses are to adopt such a thing and how likely the government is to gradually incentivize (and eventually force) businesses into using it.
It's amazing how people romanticize the past. Or imagine that past humans lived in harmony with nature. We never have. We're using to harvesting resources in unsustainable ways, burning old-growth forests intentionally to encourage habitats more friendly to prey animals, etc. Human nature wasn't that much different to now, but the scale and scope sure have changed!

But I'll still argue with 100% conviction that modern life is an improvement over what came before. You know where 1/10 women died in childbirth. Where a cut or a scrape or broken bone was often fatal. Where disease was often lethal and its cause unknown. Where war was just part of the way of life. Where only 1/10 men passed on their genes. Where superstition and practices that we consider barbaric abound. That doesn't mean we have it all right, or that there weren't nice things we gave up along the way. But never at any point was there any real option to stop advancing and keep the status quo. Cultures who did that, if any, are not around in an independent form today. Nature is still survival of the fittest.

And you could go back to tribal living if you wanted. There are plenty of people in the world living in primitive, tribal conditions and poverty with minimal interaction with the outside world. I expect some subset of those tribes would allow you to join them if you so chose. I'd seriously question your sanity if you did though.
Yes it should, but one of the major features/downsides of supermarkets is it doesn't allow you to think about whats in season vs not. Corn can be a dollar an ear even in October when harvesting happens. Tomatoes are the same all year round (tasteless/watery/tart), as are almost all greens. Berries in the winter come from Chile.

If a supermarket had an "in season" section I would shop there almost exclusively, if it meant I was going to to get a good deal and better produce. Even with farmers markets you're not guaranteed to get in season local produce.
As does the States.

What I meant was that inside of Canada, there are situations where the police don't need a search warrant for your phone. You can unlock it with your fingerprint, so it's legally "open" and searchable.

Even after so many issues I see that people/companies still buy it. What could be the reasons (apart from ignorance) for someone to Comodo over Let's Encrypt ?
Let's try this: "liberal-leaning institutions are restricting speech mostly due to the (choose:political OR diverse OR learning-focused OR religious!) nature of the institution though. A private entity of any sort isn't required to give equal time to people it disagrees with in its space."

> and it's not "political" if the expulsion is due to differences in religious doctrine. I wager that many of the expulsions at those colleges are due to said liberal holding a position counter to religious doctrine

See, you've already conceded the only viable response to my above rewriting. Most all controversial differences in religious doctrine ARE political. Your distinction is one without difference. The political nature of these difference in doctrine is what makes them worth firing over in the first place!

That's what got me with it - the author states as if it's fact that best practice for CSS-in-JS is copy and paste, but I've never seen anyone advocate for that. Especially with Webpack etc, it's trivial to just import JS styles and re-use.

Sealed the fact to me that the author is biased towards CSS, without actually knowing anything about CSS-in-JS solutions.
"not the originality or uniqueness of their work but the quality and depth of it that makes these researchers great men."

I felt a similar way about the philosophers I had to read while studying the subject in school. Some of the strange beliefs many early philosophers seemed to describe in their works always led me to think (a) there were probably a large number of philosophers during that time who had ideas more worthy of exploring, but (b) since these philosophers in particular were so prolific it was probably next to impossible during those times to have fruitful conversations across generations without large works to act as a fulcrum from which future conversations on the same topic could continue.
Yeah, of course that is true, but I was making what I thought was a reasonable reading in context. It seems like the OP is describing something more like groups of friends; you can't really be a member of multiple tribes, necessarily.

I was also very surprised to buy a car with cash, only to have a credit check required. It's a real thing. And according to this article, not required, but dealerships are confused by the language of the law and insist on running a credit check, anyway.
> Struts is maintained by one person.

I see nowhere in the op-ed piece where Tufekci mentions Struts or implies that she holds Struts responsible for this. She is clearly laying this at Equifax's feet, and their responsibility in their choice of software and the industry as a whole for actively pushing against better software practices and responsibility.

The section you quoted is followed by:

> Some number of unexpected errors — bugs — are unavoidable in computer programs. It would be unreasonable to allow a consumer to sue a software company every time a program suffered a glitch.

She's laying out a much more nuanced argument than you're given her credit for. You're right in that this seems to be zero-day which are more difficult to defend against, but there are practices (among them, defense in depth, and pen tests) which can limit the attack surface. Also actively looking for known exploit types (rather than specific exploit instances). For example, buffer overflows are a known attack vector in C, so people harden their code against buffer overflows. Deserialization attacks are known in Java, so people harden their code against deserialization attacks. SQL injection attacks are a known exploit type, so people learn to parameterize their SQL queries.

It's clear that this is something you care about and are passionate about. For topics that affect me like this, I consciously take a breath and re-read what I've reacted to, to see if my second (or third) read matches up with my first.
Wildcard certificates.
Thanks. I understand your point now. It's money that will motivate congress but in reality the Equifax breach is more impactful to you or me.
Among many other solutions as well (like JSS).

CSS-in-JS !== inline styles, at all, yet seems to be a rallying call for people who fear "something different".
> You could get a margage if you have never borrowed money in your life but have a stable income.

Same in the US, although it's a bit of a pain in the ass. It's my understanding, though, (correct me if I'm wrong!) that Germany is a bit less thrilled about credit than most other countries—even in Europe.
I don't think the role is as significant as you are claiming.
The point is the "it" actually is not an option most of the time.
I sure hope history will repeat itself. Just like Desktop, web apps are taking over. Hopefully, PWAs will do the same in mobile.

The actual article title is: 'Investigation reveals hundreds of Canadians have phoney degrees'

There appears to be no data to support the title' s claim. The text mentions,

The mainstream services, like amazon, hulu, HBO, and netflix, have very rich modern apps at least on the latest gen rokus. The older rokus probably lack the horsepower to use the newer apps.
Note that this is a great question to ask about all the f*ed up things in the USA. Hardly ever asked though for some reason. Having been the country that landed people on the moon seems to have removed the option to ask if other countries have better ways of doing things.
The bringing-out is itself a kind of context. That kind of critical/analytical context is far, far different from simply setting up a forum in a huge social media site where impressionable people sometimes congregate. It's like the difference between a biology lab where students perform dissection and a dirty, stinking, public restroom where people graffiti on the wall and poop in the urinals.
At least I'm confident the French, Turkish and NK governments don't have the keys. The FBI wouldn't share the secret with simple policemen, unless for extremely rare reasons, in which case iPhone security isn't your main problem.

In the context of this article's verbiage, I learned Economics the "old way" and at no point was I under any illusion that Perfect Competition was "the norm" or even common. I seem to recall phrases akin to, "There is no such thing as a Perfectly Competitive market," oft-repeated.

I agree. Replacing "camera" with "gun" clarifies who the "photographer" is. I.e. if someone set up a trip wire to a gun (booby trap), would the person who tripped the booby trap be a suicide victim or would the person who set up the booby trap be a murderer?
I've been living out here in Australia for about a year and a half now. It really is a delicious meat, though it's so lean that your options for how to prepare it are pretty slim. I've found that mince is the easiest to work with by far. Kangaroo tacos are really delicious. Burgers with it are decent too. It's very close to beef in taste, just a slight bit bloodier tasting.
I've spent time in Japan too (I majored in Japanese and I lived there for a year), and, while Japanese people don't have very much tact about body image issues, I find self-reports like that very unconvincing. Japanese people will also wax poetic about the uniqueness of their having four seasons, which would probably be news to most of my fellow New Englanders.

There are a lot of other things different about Japan (most people walk more and drive rather infrequently, food portions are smaller, the actual foods eaten are not the same, for instance) than just how tactless or not Japanese people are about weight. I bet if you looked at Nikkei with Japanese immigrant parents you would see rates of obesity that looked much more similar to American ones than Japanese ones too.

In addition, although it's a slower creep, Japan is seeing average BMIs go up.
CSS modules is pretty clean, but disagree that JSS/styled-components are "cringeworthy". They're very powerful, especially when combined with React component props - i.e. let's say when a component has a prop active, that when true we want to change the color on something. A traditional way to handle that would be by toggling some active class, however this creates coupling from the prop to a class, and then the style to that class as well. With styled-components, you can remove one step from that with the classes, one less thing to think about (the developer doesn't need to think what classes are needed with what props, and then what styles apply on those classes).
Probably not that poor after having received his check for doing so.

Wildcard certificates are coming to Let's Encrypt in Jan 2018 (https://letsencrypt.org/2017/07/06/wildcard-certificates-com...).

Also they are not as important with Let's Encrypt given that you can dynamically and instantly provision a certificate for a subdomain.

Without Let's Encrypt getting a certificate for each domain was costly and time consuming. Let's Encrypt solves both problems without using wildcard certificates.
Three reasons:

1.) The inherent mediocrity in large bureaucracies. They always turn mediocre. People inherently form factions within corporations and become politicians. This destroys the old culture and creates adverse incentives.

2.) Technology is always evolving at a massive pace. Old infrastructure in a large company becomes a burden, and stifles innovation. Startups are built to seize opportunities with new technology.

3.) Which tech companies that have historically been dominant since the 80s are still dominant? Intel? IBM? AOL? Yahoo? Microsoft (maybe but still somewhat irrelevant). Apple may be the only company, but they are in a different game.
