Science powers the whole world, yet scientist receives a very minimal recognition for it, either in salary or prizes. Nobel Prizes are basically the only way that scientists achieve a bit of that.

Looking around a bit, I came across a couple of implementations that might be of interest for those wanting to mash up "some kind of system programming" and "scheme": Bigloo (interpret / compile to executables, java byte code or experimentally dot.net) and larceny (interpret / direct compile to machine code / optionally via c):

The IRS requires Apple to send them and you a form 1099K -

What does my Form 1099-K report to me?

A Form 1099-K includes the gross amount of all reportable payment transactions. You will receive a Form 1099-K from each payment settlement entity from which you received payments in settlement of reportable payment transactions. A reportable payment transaction is defined as a payment card transaction or a third party network transaction.

I’m sure other countries require something similar.

Either way, they need either Your SSN or your TIN to report it.
"The goal IMO should be to prevent bias with respect to gender, race, etc"

One would think, no?

But there's a considerable number of people who don't feel that way - they think that 50/50 gender balance is a 'moral imperative' for example.

Surely, it's their right to think that, even promote it. But I'm weary of that kind of ideology being used to shut down other voices - which I think happens frequently.

I believe that the Guardian article (and the Graun as a whole, I read it every day and see the pattern) speaks to this: that specific minorities are underrepresented in certain roles 'must be due to racism' I think is unfair. Surely it plays a part, but there are so many other factors.

We need cool, rational heads on this subject.

Before I left I used a tool that would delete all of my posts and content and stuff like that. Cleaned up the profile as best I could. The type of data they had was more about who they thought I knew, how desperately single I am stuff like that. Given how many privacy related scandals they have had I don't think suing them is going to do anything.
I believe there are some browser extensions to do this.

I just wrote a few document.querySelectorAll() based loops in the console that artificially clicked the right elements in the right order with some delay.

Funny, most places in Europe the law requires at least 20 days, some places it's even 25 or more.
My high end home GPU averages 25MH/s and nets me $30 per month.

At $0.2/h/gpu it would cost you $144 per month. Assuming the GPUs have the same efficiency, you're making 20% of the cost back.

My brief testing (30 mins run) makes it even worse, a 8 GPU instance ($1.6/hour) was going at about 90-100MH/s, which means they're even less efficient than my home gpu. 100MH/s is around $130 a month, for the cost of $1150/month or 11% returns.

The price of eth will go up, but if you don't have a GPU already, it's more profitable to buy it directly. If you're investing in mining and expecting the price of eth to go up to recoup costs, you would be making much more money just by buying eth directly.
Look at their first quote, the reason for all this is “What is a better way to identify consumers in our country in a very secure way?" We are labeled as consumers, not citizens. Culture issue and perception issue everywhere.
I don't think there's enough evidence to say they did it to promote a particular branch of economics. More likely just to promote the credentials of economics as sound science.

But yes, it was founded in a rather dubious way, and of course there's no obligation on the public to accept it as a Nobel prize.
The brilliant part of it is that it's a double pyramid scheme. The people buying into these ICOs are doing so with Bitcoin or Ethereum that has often appreciated 100x or 1000x from when they bought it. So a company may raise $200M in an ICO, but the investors may've only paid $200K for their Ethereum in the first place. The huge dollar amounts attract more people into the ecosystem, which drives the price of your base cryptocurrencies higher, which means that the prices of these new ICO tokens are even cheaper relative to the dollar amounts paid in the first place, which encourages people to drop exorbitant amounts willy-nilly on ICOs, which attracts even more publicity, and so on.

Until one of two things happens: there are no more buyers for cryptocurrency, the price crashes, and all these ICO investors lose their shirts; or all money enters the cryptocurrency ecosystem, entrepreneurs develop new products & services that can only be bought with their proprietary ICO tokens, Ethereum replaces the dollar as the world reserve currency, and the dollar crashes. I would bet on the former being much more likely than the latter in terms of probabilities, but given that the outcome of the latter is that all savings of people who don't invest in cryptocurrencies are worthless, that fear may be driving a lot of the ICO speculation.
>"I spent 2 years of my life in Singapore as an exchange student 10 years ago"

I'm sorry but how does spending two years there as an exchange student a decade ago add any weight to your opinion? As an exchange student weren't you still part of your parents insurance? Also do you think nothing has changed in 10 years?
This argument gets made constantly and it's a bit tiring. No-one is exactly the same as the US. This doesn't mean we can't learn from others.
It sounds like you've already made some people a decent chunk of change. Why not reach out to these same investors and tell them what you're looking for.

While we do not have the same service in Canada, the federal my tax account "forgot password" functionality is snail mail. Drove me nuts before I moved to a password manager because I travel so much. Much like the presumed clients of this service. So sending a snail mail would not be as effective as this article makes it -- unless it's not verification but the password itself.

Consequently: what the post should do is create an account for everyone eligible and send out a note with username and password. Done.
Around here it is simpler:

Saying it does't make it true. How about justifying why you think it matters? Because we can talk about any population in terms of percentage which factors out size. I suspect when you try and explain why size matters, you'll run into a better argument to make.

Never heard of those. I wouldn't trust profit. It's way too easy for a company, especially a growing one, to spend a little extra which lowers the profit (and thus payout to employees, but also less corporate tax). You also risk emotional blackmail (maybe the word is too strong): founders telling you by paying out those profits interest units you're lowing the profit for others.

They somehow failed to mention price controls, except obliquely. That's impressive.
Some people criticized Holocaust survivors for not resisting (I am not equating you with such critics, btw). They didn't realize that initially, the victims were hoodwinked into thinking they were being relocated, and when they learned the truth, they were weakened and disoriented by being crammed into a train cattle-car without food or water for some days.

In the camps, the people were systematically starved and beaten to maintain their helplessness. Even so, some did try to rebel and were killed.

The people who heard whispers about what had happened couldn't believe it - it was too vile to contemplate.

The parallels between that unspeakable crime and this story are:

- People who have become marginalized (our society does not exactly honor the elderly, except - sometimes - relatives).

- Preying on unsuspecting people with their guards down.

- State-sanctioned abuse (if unintentional) in the name of protection.

- Victims who lacked the mental capacity and physical stamina to understand what was happening and to resist.

- "Somebody else's problem"; disinterest in the plight of the marginalized people who some see as less than human.

- Trust in authority figures.

Evidently ATLAS listed its members alphabetically and CMS listed them by some other criterion (maybe seniority?). However, I would guess that ATLAS got its member list first in the paper by being the alphabetically prior of the two collaborations (!).

I’ve run a fair amount of email campaigns where we strip out the + if gmail is the domain to ensure it doesn’t end up in some weird filter.

Dick move, I know. Tell marketing that though.

I personally use gmail through a vanity domain and have a catch all rule, so I end up signing up with a fake email account for every domain (hn@mydomain.com) and then the catch all forwards it to my real account (me@mydomain.com).
This might be an interesting avenue for the tech community to come up with a solution similar to digital certificates and apply it to SSN numbers with an RFC of sorts that gets whetted by security experts and submitted to the government as a proposal to fix the problem long term.

And on the other end of the spectrum we have Canada which has a smaller population spread out over a bigger area. Both extremes are able to to deliver health care for less than the US. Surely there's a lot we can learn from both extremes.
Best advice I can give is, at the very least, get a feel for the market. Apply and go to interviews and see how things feel.

I have been in a not too dissimilar position over the past couple of years. I enjoyed working where I was at, but certain restrictions and limitations urged me to look elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, I worked with a fantastic team, and in a well oiled machine with lots of very smart devoted people. I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish I was back there, but if you have the desire to learn, you need to take action.

Hopefully that helps ease your mind a little, and good luck.
I wish I could have 72 hours to review the front of all my snail mail electronically and either select "release to mailbox" or "shred/recycle/delete". After 72 hours it just assumes you want to release it to your mailbox.

Logistically, something like that could save the post office a bunch of money since they don't refund postage just because it was delivered electronically.

Furthermore, people expecting a high-priority package would be more likely to log in and release it to their mailbox more quickly.

Also I wish I could opt to "block sender" for ads and other junk. The post office would still get money/postage, but I would just give the post office advanced consent to shred/recycle all mail from this sender and consider it officially delivered.
Obviously, a faster way would be to place your functions at predictable addresses that could be computer with simple bit arithmetic. No double lookup or conditional branches required.

Thanks for the information, I believe you are correct.

Further Googling indicated that up until 2015, guardians in Nevada had to be in-state residents. (http://borglawgroup.com/new-adult-guardianship-laws-may-affe...). This is a pretty nasty restriction in my opinion in today's world, and probably accounted for at least some of the "disqualifications". At least Florida law specifically qualifies non-residents that are related!

It seems like this story was pretty big in Las Vegas around 2015, and it did lead to reform attempts at the state level (including the above reform). Obviously you can't change the past, but I'm curious if any of this has done any good for the future. (https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/n...).

At least five guardians are in legal trouble now over this, four of them (including Parks) for running a racket (http://www.ktnv.com/news/contact-13/guardianship-crimes-occu...). Another guardian was arrested for stealing from a client in 2013 (http://www.fox5vegas.com/story/23641602/court-appointed-guar...).

Of course, at a government level, all that happens is career shuffling...

The key idea I see here is that instead of dumping money into insurers, you have your own government mandated "health savings account".

People would be far less likely to overuse health services if they felt they were paying personally.

That's a powerful idea.
I'd be pretty surprised if an attacker could actually get away with a lot of sensitive, actionable bulk user data from Facebook. DMs would probably be way too big in total, unless they just looked for DMs of high-profile people.

As for passwords, they're probably not stored in a very crackable format (probably some kind of super-bcrypt-esque algorithm with a pepper). Of course, they could hijack the login procedure and harvest passwords in real-time until they're detected. That would still be really bad depending on how long they can evade detection - maybe millions of passwords - but at least it wouldn't be retroactive. And the password dump could still be bad for people looking to target individuals within the dump.

Maybe advertising data could be trimmed down enough to dump the whole thing? Every ad that accounts have clicked?
