It's outside of my control, as a tax payer, to force some city to build up.

It's well inside of my control to demand that my taxes are not wasted on subsidies going directly to rent-seeking landlords in already economically overheated areas.

I would prefer they go to underdeveloped areas and give more economic effect. This means that people asking for subsidies should be ready to shift away from the core.

I think the real problem is that in in germany -- especially there -- wages almost stagnated over the last 10 years.

Germanys wages are that low that other EU countries (France, Italy for example) find it hard to compete in terms of labour cost.

I think that's also the main cause of Germany being "Exportweltmeister" every year.
> Yeah and Zuckerberg pays himself every time he uses Facebook, so are we going to make him delete his account?

> If he were to win I think he would be pressured to structure some kind of trust that prevents him from leveraging Facebook's political power in conjunction with the government.

That's the point, isn't it? It's happening right now without consequence, so why should it be different then?
That $500 DSLR can definitely do some impressive work, but the issue is in how it processes the images.

A DSLR will read the sensor progressively, from top to bottom. So if an image changes from the top of the frame to the bottom (if the camera pans or an object moves horizontally) the top is recorded slightly before the bottom, leading to a "tilting" effect. This would be really noticeable if you were to follow someone around with a steadicam, or had objects moving across the screen with any real speed.

When I watch short amateur films on Youtube this effect can ruin the whole experience for me, since I can't stop noticing it. However, a shot of a rock show (crowd or stage) would likely be busy enough to make the effect unnoticeable. There are probably algorithms that fix it too, especially if the film is shot at a higher resolution than is being output (to allow adjustments at the edges of frame).

You are conflating two concepts here. From what ever we see Apple has been really clear and focused on user privacy and security. They back up their words with actions and improve on them over time.

Also if a free system lets users do it themselves why are we talking about Apple being a better option for security and privacy over google?

I actually enjoy flying (the being in the air part). I've flown with Southwest 12 times in the past year (all for pleasure, no business or family-related travel) and have had some terrible flights (like 2 hours sitting taxiway with no AC in July in Florida), but I still enjoy the flying part.

My flying tips:

1. Travel with someone who also enjoys traveling.

2. Be well rested.

3. Drink tons of water the day/evening before so you are well hydrated.

4. Chapstick and hand lotion.

5. Bring your own entertainment, like downloaded Netflix shows.

6. Bring your own snacks.

7. Research the airports you'll need to navigate ahead of time so you don't stress yourself out.

8. Study the ground features as you take off and land. There are beautiful differences and unexpected sights you'll notice when looking for them, even in your home town.

9. Don't drink the alcohol, even when it's free.

Of course, if you are afraid of dying, heights, or falling I doubt any of these tips will help you.

My experiences are on short US flights from/to Orlando, so planes are generally filled with cheerful Disney-going people.

Well, on UBI, stupid people may end up propping rents in expensive locations.

Less stupid people would move to a location where UBI will allow comfortable living for them.

People may end up not so stupid. Imagine you live in SF, you've got $500 UBI while your rent grew $300. This leaves you with extra $200 of leg room, yay for UBI!

I remember sometime in 2009 the managers at UPS gave some talk about FedEx misclassifying their employees and it was unfair, and they encouraged us to write some letter or sign some petition (I don't remember the exact details).

The source of my confusion is that the last time I looked into LLVM's SIMD support was in the context of looking at Rust, a bit more than a year ago or so, and back then my conclusion was that neither (Rust or LLVM, then in version 3) are very good tools for that. It seems I was very wrong, at least on the LLVM side.

EDIT: Sorry, to reply to your question, my concern is not GCC vs. clang; If you want max out your vector ops, I would suggest you should compare to ICC as the "standard", at least on Intel CPUs.
I feel like this has a xenophobic undertone to it

meh, shrug. If this was any local cuisine other than Japanese -- who we have been taught to see as xenophobic -- the obvious follow-on retort wouldn't be about xenophobia, but about appropriation and generally more defensive of the culture's prerogative to define itself.
For apps that are still 32-bit only, they have to be several years old. I believe the first version to support 64 bit was iOS 7 and at that point, I think Xcode would compile with universal support by default. Most of our affected apps were built for iOS 6 (or lower) and the clients have not wanted to pay to keep them up to date. As a result, an update at this point requires quite a bit of work because of deprecated and removed APIs preventing us from recompiling. Then you have the issue of third-party libraries that may not support 32 bit, so you have to go find updated version (if they exist. If they don't, you have to completely remove it and find a replacement)

You are correct, though, that in the best case, it is just a recompile.

SSD Advisory – Chrome Turbofan Remote Code Execution
Indeed and to putting a fraud alert on your credit profile is only good for 90 days. This is curious since one's identity - name and social security number don't change after 90 days.

The onus of protection is on the consumer - the very people who never authorized the companies to collect and sell their financial identity. The concerned consumer needs to call back every 3 months to continue a fraud alert.

For those who don't know the value in placing a fraud alert is that it forces anyone extending you credit to first call you and verify that you actually intended to open the line of credit in your name. This is something that should be standard operating procedure and not a special consideration.
I didn't say they didn't have any property, they just want yours, too.

Also, if there were a large group with nothing to lose, you would not need any protection of your property?

Lenders are forced to ignore "red flags" like multiple bankruptcies occuring >10 years ago.

Lenders are forced to use the government's criteria to determine when to loan out their money.

That's handy to know, thank you.

Looking at this popup control though, the only indication that, for example, wifi is merely no longer connected versus turned off is the text under the icon, which, had I not been aware of this issue, I would probably not have bothered to read.

However, even reading the text under the button, "Not Connected" is ambiguous given the previous behavior of the button. In other words, without additional context, "Not Connected" probably means "Turned Off" to the majority of users. It's only when you get pedantic about things that it becomes clear that tapping the wifi icon in the Control Center in iOS 11 and seeing the text "Not Connected" means my wifi is still on and that I'm just no longer connected to a wifi network.

^^ Furthermore, I'd be 100% OK with this change if I'd at least been made aware of it. However, the more I think about the way this was handled by Apple, the more it really just seems like UX arrogance: Someone decided that my phone's Bluetooth and wifi should always be on, and they changed existing functionality accordingly and with no indication to me as the user that things are different now.

Not sure how else this can be taken??

No. It's basically defined relative to the audio spectrum.

Low begins at a point that is squarely out of the human hearing range: 30 kHz. That is just fast enough to start encoding intelligible speech into a carrier.

(Two decades that lie within audio range are called ultra-low and very-low.)

On the opposite end, the ITU acronyms now extend up to the 30-300 GHz decade, which is termed EHF.

You sound like you’ve never flown Lufthansa (economy). Plane food, I think, is illustrative of how far most airlines in the US have fallen.
You can compose monads whenever you have a distributive law for them. Usually there's an obvious one. In your example there's a distributive law that uses the same parameter for every function, this allows you to compose the monads.

When there's several possible distributive laws or none, that's important. It means that either the interactions between the two effects are subtle and need to be further specified or they are completely incompatible.

Algebraic effects can only handle effects that trivially commute. So monad composition is a finer, thus more expressive operation.

If we get rid of limited liability, do I become liable for BP's oil spills because I have own a few cents worth of petroleum stock through vanguard?

I like your idea that companies should be able to bear the cost of a possible future liability. I don't know how we can implement it besides some form of insurance (like sometime else said a $10 fine per person per breach but I'd up it to (2000 * minimum wage per hour) for every incident per person. At some point though we will need criminal charges for negligence or worse attempts of cover up (Equifax). We need to make it easier to convict CEOs and the board to put them in prison in case of attempted cover up or non disclosure.
I see what your saying, but that also seems like the market at work. If the harm done to society is sufficiently large, perhaps at that point society might decide create a government entity to meet the need... I do think that the company's failure and the infliction of harm on society is an important part of the feedback loop; I'm not sure we should be trying to prevent that (I mean, harm in terms of dollars or time lost, etc.)

Actually, I was shocked how quickly Bitcoin transfers were. About a week ago I watched someone transfer me $10 in BTC and I got "unconfirmed: $10" within a few seconds.

It wasn't confirmed until a few minutes later, but that was enough time to assume everything was fine and to keep doing stuff in the meantime. Concretely, you can assume almost every unconfirmed transaction will be confirmed, and you'll almost never be wrong. That means Bitcoin is effectively instant for every transacfion you don't need to care about, and in the other cases you can just wait a few minutes.
