I like that prospect too, but many media companies have proven to be scummy enough with their malvertising and tracking that they're likely to add micropayments and keep their spy/adware. A recent example is German television switching to a new digital terrestrial transmission format, whereupon the commercial (ad-ridden) channels now require a yearly subscription to watch, but have kept the ads. The enabling technology was the possibility to encrypt said channels in the new format, and they, of course, jumped on it, pocketing the extra money but keeping all their ads.

>t's a subsidy for all mortgages. More people would rent if not for this subsidy.

Well, okay. You still haven't made the case it disproportionately benefits the suburbs. People who buy houses in the city pay a lot more money, and presumably get to write off a lot more interest.

>Also any roady that connect your suburb to anywhere are heavily subsidized, to the tune of greater than 60%.

So what you're saying is cities benefit enormously from a subsidy that allows companies to employ people who don't work in the city and import products from other places?

>If your suburb build its sewers with bonds, they too end up receiving various forms of subsidy.

Oh? Do you have some evidence this is true?

>It would be truly unique in the whole of the US if your community's property taxes covered the full cost of local services and weren't partially covered from the state's general fund.

Well, sure, but we pay state taxes. I would expect some of that money to come back.

Part of the huge problem is people thinking that wanting to have a life outside of working to make someone else rich is "complacency."
Not all hours are created equal. If you're doing simple enough tasks perhaps your output is relatively stable. When I work on hard problems I've had single hours that can outperform a day or two. Getting rid of most/all of those key creative moments by keeping employees in a constant state of fatigue from large hours is bad. Studies show for typical employees after about 6 weeks of 70h work weeks a 70h week is producing less than a 40h week for a fresh non-overworked employee. So pretty quickly hours become half-hours in terms of production.
I respect CoffeeScript for what it did and playing a part in making Javascript and its ecosystem better.

That said, for a new development, is there any reason to use it over ES6? If you don't like the current Javascript, Cofeescript isn't going to convince you (Elm, Purescript, Scala.JS etc. might).
The only direct value is see in this version is as an upgrade target for existing codebases.
Ah, a very good point. I'll give him a little bit more benefit of the doubt if that's the case. The FBI might not, mind you.
Depends on the industry. Companies in certain highly-regulated industries are required to escalate even a minor breach of security ("We think something could possibly have happened, but there' no evidence anything did.") to C-level ASAP. One place I worked, if a breach was discovered by a janitor should make it to the C's within 24 hours or everyone in-between would be reprimanded, if not sacked.

But that was a very specific (and again, regulated) industry.
In my experience, the biggest cause of framework churn is bad architecture and development patterns - no clear separation of business logic and 'framework', which forces these all-or-nothing rewrites with the sexy framework of the day in the hopes of a massive productivity boost.

If you can manage to get >50% of your core logic in a 'vanilla' language(js, python, good ol' C) with minimal external dependencies, these yearly framework shifts become much less of a big deal.

I just wish I had internalized this lesson way, way, way earlier in my career...
> if there was a bug in the target server's OpenID Connect implementation that somehow replaced "example.com" with "contoso.com"

No, because in this case, Portier is running on contoso.com and the website I'm actually trying to auth to is example.com - from the target server's perspective, contoso.com is the site trying to auth against it.

White collar crime is difficult to prosecute. If you give people the choice between the certainty of losing millions of dollars and the somewhat remote possibility of prison, they may not make the right choice.
Bingo.

This is the problem.

If journalism is broken down into a market problem, (which will happen regularly on an American board for entrepreneurship) then the product will always be cat pics and scandal.

Because thats what people want. As someone said above, revealed behaviors of news consumers are different from stated behaviors.

If someone actually wanted objective information, they already pay for it - they go buy the wsj/bb for finance. If they want political analysis - they pay for those magazines.

I don't think Journalism works in a free market model.

The problem really boils down to 5-7 slots of short term attention span a human being has.

For all the desire to want good news, people will still dump that attention on junk food for the brain.

Since Good journalism is expensive, takes time to process, and may not be well received - its extremely time and attention intensive.

In a world where we're blowing that resource regularly, good journalism dies. It has to be capable of going toe to toe with attention seeking feel good material.

In a Market system - journalism end up being about hacking human attention. Otherwise not enough people reads it to support the paper.

This is generally a solved problem -

You pay the govt to make a single news agency - give it operating money, independence and stick an oversight group on top of it.

And you call it the BBC, and spend the rest of your days trying to defund it, while a majority of groups call it biased in one direction or the other.
The scientific misunderstandings are extremely offensive at times, too: a philosophy professor teaching metaphysics at Yale a long while back once offered a completely serious argument against relativity of simultaneity by snapping his right fingers, then snapping his left, and saying "whatever the physicists want to say, one of those snaps obviously happened before the other". When I objected that physicists would agree with him, because light cones yadda yadda, he cut me off because I was "getting into the weeds" (isn't that the point?!!?). The next topic was one vs many, where he cherry picked just enough offhand quantum mechanical commentary from Wheeler and Feynman to argue that maybe it was all just one electron going back and forth through time, and that was about when I lost all faith in the field.

That said, metaphysics is pretty much the worst of philosophy, because it has been so thoroughly rendered useless by all that we've actually learned about the physical world. Other subfields are substantially more interesting and less underinformed.

While I really like my x230, the touchpad is practically unusable for me. It's just too small (or too jerky, if you use a large scaling factor). And while I have the higher quality IPS panel, it's still just 1366x768. Just give me the x230 with a bigger touchpad and a nice HD display, and I am happy (maybe x260/x270 would work? ...).

I agree with you that it is difficult to improve on the peer review process. At the same time, several researchers have pointed out that publishers aren't really involved in the peer review process. It should be possible to coordinate journal publication through a software platform, replacing the publishers without affecting the peer reviewers or editors.

Performance of the x62 is on par for sure. Mainly because the hardware is swappable between them. The relative gain in resolution for the size/weight between a non-fdh modded x2*0 and the x62 is the main takeaway. I also gained miniDP and usb3 which the x220 does not have.

Regarding the LED? Monty, who makes the kit, is an awesome dude and great resource. I emailed with him regarding installation and he quickly responded. Installation should not be for someone without a history of taking these machines apart. You must have the willingness to dig a little deeper than a RAM install, as you are disassembling the screen bezel and making permanent cuts into the plastic and on an expensive x62 prebuilt, this took serious consideration.

The cuts are easy, and the disassembly is easy. no soldering or real issues I can remember, other than having to do it twice because of dust. Do the whole thing in a clean area without a rug, vacuum everything around first.

I highly recommend the kit. Brightness is on par with brand new machines. Just shield your eyes from the LED kit turning out before it's in the screen. SOO BRIGHT

I think the point is more that by using web components, whatever framework you're using becomes more interchangeable. Web components only solve a piece of what, say, React does – the component piece. For state management, you can still reach for Redux (which tries to be framework agnostic), or even still embed them in React if that makes sense for your app.

So maybe web components won't stop framework churn, but they'll make it a lot easier to transition between frameworks.

I'm friends with several philosophers since I took it fairly seriously in undergrad and befriended several grad students. From my perspective, the "trolling" is generally just pointing out interesting entailments of another philosopher's arguments. For example, in a recent thread philosopher X outlined philosopher Y's argument just to point out that he hopes it shows the "weird consequences" of the basis of Y's argument. Y showed up to point out that X had missed a key wrinkle. A bunch of others showed up to wrangle about the meaning of certain words.

... So basically the same thing philosophers do in their papers, just with fewer citations.

(That's not me throwing shade -- just pointing out how the field seems to work. I loved and still love philosophy.)

I read somewhere that post-apocalyptic fiction is actually a fantasy about replacing your problems with simpler ones. Projects like Xanadu, VPRI STEPS, and Urbit are fantasies about replacing the mess of legacy computing with something much simpler.
I wouldn't say that modern philosophers, or even old philosophers, have had much of an effect on current legislative decisions concerning things like euthanasia. As to what extent they have influenced real communities I also don't know about veganism (aside from perhaps Pinker, though again I don't know of his influence) but modern philosophy (since 1950s or so) has been "all the rage" within left-wing communities, most visibly the work of Slavoj Zizek who is seen as a "superstar Marxist philosopher".

I'm under the impression that philosophical investigation has been largely ignored in science, though I don't have enough information to give a definitive answer.

Principles in law seem to me to be unclear and not guided along any particular philosophy, despite in the UK at least PPE (politics, philosophy, economics) being a common choice of university degree for politicians. I have seen utterly terrible and fallacious and evidence-lacking arguments used to create hideous laws, as the arguments are public record in England and Wales.

I'd say that philosophy doesn't have nearly as much impact as it should do, and anyone who disagrees with this should recognise that the ability to think critically is taught in any and all philosophy.

I think the idea is that this is found in nature as a single material. Silicon doesn't do anything remotely brain-like until humans etch intricate patterns in it and run precise electrical currents through them.

I think the use of neural networks is a kind of boring approach to studying this crystal. Of course the algorithm it uses is going to be more adaptable than an arbitrary algorithm selected by the researcher, otherwise they would have chosen a different algorithm to prove the truism.

I'm more interested in hearing about the physical mechanism by which a crystal manages to store and forget information, and some theory about how this could have come to exist without resorting to life-based arguments like survival of the fittest or evolution.
All true but I feel as currently taught it is hamstrung as a "historical study of great men / literary study of original sources" instead of teaching the key ideas distilled into the the most efficient and practical form.

High school physicists are not ploughing through Principia Mathematica, instead they learn the laws of motion and move on. Physicists pretty much leave behind the original sources until you are at the bleeding edge. Why can't philosophy?

Requiring the team name to be a domain name (validating that they own said domain name) seems like it would be a reasonable solution. Domains are already globally unique, already tied to organization identity, and already closely related to anything keys will be used for (software, e-mail, etc).

Someone could still spoof "companyname-corp.com" but then it's at least obvious in the same way spoofed URLs already (usually) are.
Uber deals with this by calling their topline "Gross Bookings" (which includes the driver portion of each ride) and then starting a new P&L below that with Revenue as the new topline.

The GAAP guidance instructs companies to make the determination whether they're the principal or the agent with the following criteria:

1. You are the primary obligor in the sales transaction. This means, are you responsible for providing the product or service, or is the supplier? If you’re doing the work or shipping the product, you can probably record at gross.

2. You have general inventory risk. If you take title to the inventory before you sell it to the customer, and you take title to any returns from customers, you can probably record revenue at gross.

3. You can select suppliers. This one is important, since it implies that there isn’t some key supplier operating in the background who’s actually running the transaction.

4. You have credit risk. This means that if the customer does not pay, then you absorb the loss, and not a supplier. However, if you’re only at risk for losing a commission if the customer doesn’t pay, then you’re probably looking at recording the revenue at net.

5. If you get to set the price, then you probably have control over the entire transaction, and you can record the revenue at gross.

6. The amount you earn is fixed. This indicates a commission structure, which is sometimes set up as a fixed payment per customer transaction. If you earn a percentage of what the customer pays, this is also an indicator that you report revenue at net. In either case, you’re really just an agent for someone else.

7. The other two guidelines for reporting at net are just the reverse side of some earlier guidelines. If a supplier has credit risk, or if a supplier is responsible for providing products or services to the customer, then you’re probably looking at reporting revenue at net.

So it goes back to my earlier point about a baseline for getting accepted which my application would not cut since I don't have hard data to show CAC, LTV and other relevant metrics. It's certainly not set in stone as a small number of very early stage companies do get accepted, but in general products have to be much further along to have a serious chance of acceptance, or at least that's the impression I get.
Omitting semicolons breaks the "delete a line in isolation" rule, unless you begin the line with a semicolon instead. Which is even noiser than just having them at the end of the line, where they are unconsciously glossed over by anyone who's ever worked in a language with C-derived syntax.
There are so many conveniences around a global team name. Any time we played through the mental exercise of ambiguous names, it led us back to the deep pains of reading out loud security codes or fingerprints, or relying on some kind of hard-to-use web of trust around trusting people and then their vouching for teams. (note people, too, have unique names.)

With our testers, I've already had so many conversations about team names. If it's an in-person conversation it's validated entirely without looking anything up. If it's digital over an alternative medium - then the sharer doesn't have to go look up their team's identifier in order to talk about it. Everything is easier.

Also, I'm not that cynical by nature, but I've had a lot of conversations with people about security since we started Keybase. People don't check codes. From encrypted chats to SSH server fingerprints (ugg!) -- people don't check them. If a team name can be equivalent to one, but the cost is that the space is limited, it's worth it.

I guess in summary: why is a name better than a fingerprint? It can be memorized without effort. It can be visually or verbally reviewed without effort. And it often has meaning.

I think there are two cases that are brought up in this article. The first is that some agencies file suit to stop or delay giving out the records that will make them look bad.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep the first case from happening while making sure privacy rights are respected?
