So, in response to my assertion that perhaps you missed my point, you simply restate your own point. You clearly did not care to understand the argument, or but just pushed your own pet theory. Yes, you are being hostile and patronising, and you have now doubled down on that.

I can only imagine you have never met anyone living in poverty in New Zealand, or the US, given that you seem to have so little regard for them. If you actually think that the bar for poverty should be set so low as to be the point of actual starvation, then I really don't know what to say to you. My empathy, for one, extends a little further to my fellow man.

But anyway, my argument restated in case I am misreading you.. in fact, definitions of poverty do not matter once you understand that differentials in power create the conditions for poverty. It is lack of power then, not money which creates poverty. And once you understand that money is not an actual thing, but an agreement.. a societal construct to codify peoples access to power (to have control over their wealth). It is designed to be persuasive, it is a promise of your own power and the ability to confer it on someone else. But it lacks any content itself, ultimately, money only works because of the implicit threat of the state or group which creates the agreement. It is a device I would describe as rhetoric.

ie. rhetoric: language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect, but which is often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content.
>>it becomes a smart economic choice to drive Uber even if you're "losing money" each hour - because your marginal gross profit is higher than if you were sitting on the couch.

Why are you comparing driving Uber to sitting on the couch?

You should compare it to something more realistic, like learning a marketable skill and/or applying to full-time jobs.

When you do so, the real opportunity cost of Uber becomes clear: the more you drive people around, the less employable you get.

> in the past, Lisp programmers have claimed to recover the advantages of other statically typed languages in a Lisp setting, but there have always been huge caveats, like “the system can be very easily circumvented, reducing the benefits of static typing to nothing”.

It seems to me that the benefits of static typing only apply to accidental mistakes (e.g. using a pointer to a character as though it were an integer, or a pointer to a struct, or whatever), and thus that a system with deliberately-circumventable static typing is just fine.
I am not a ddos mitigation expert, but I am under the impression that the remedies you mention are only going to help with relatively small attacks. It is very inexpensive to buy enough DDOS capacity to saturate a whole server's CPU just decoding requests. Caching and rate limiting aren't going to help you much then.

If you're a serious target these days, you basically need to have your services behind one of the big solutions. Rolling your own is far too expensive for any but the largest players. Cloudflare, GCE, and I'm sure many others offer ddos mitigation for grownups.

> However, a large chunk of Mozilla's open source contributors (along with a decent chunk of their paid employees) were ready to resign.

Citation, please. I'm a Mozilla employee, and was a Mozilla employee at the time. I'm not going to claim everyone was ecstatic about things; there was a lot of soul-searching going on for some people. But I don't recall any "Mozilla employees", in the sense of people working for the Mozilla Corporation, saying they would resign, nor calling for Brendan to do so.

There _were_ a few such calls from interns, and a few employees, at the Mozilla Foundation. People who were not involved in Firefox in any way, did not know Brendan, and were not relevant to the things that Mozilla is actually known for doing.

Of course the press spun the story in such a way as to make it seem like there was mass unhappiness internally... And most people read the press spin, not the actual blog posts actual Mozilla employees were writing at the time.
To add to your anecdote - I also have an extremely high caffeine tolerance and can fall asleep just fine even if I've had an espresso (or two!) after dinner. Similarly to you, I don't really notice the lack, as I rarely drink caffeinated drinks on weekends and have no noticeable dip in energy.

I think your ice cream experience might have an entirely different cause - you were used to stimulation from particular flavors, so when you quit consuming sweet food/drinks. your perception of ice cream was like a bombshell for your tastebuds.

Now, it's entirely possible that artificial sweeteners have detrimental effects on your gut biome or causes a reward response, which create cravings but I'm skeptical until more literature is published on the subject.

Your post was a good one, highlighting the problems the “unbanked” / “uncredited” face that something like Uber is an antitode for.
That comment is more about a theoretical scenario that actually has solid consensus.

The real problem with segwit2x is that the consensus was dropping and was trending toward a very weak level. It had strong consensus for long enough to do a switchover, as far as I understand, but it didn't take the opportunity and then people eventually started to change their minds.

tar makes a lot more sense if you use long options instead of completely cryptic short ones.

tar command I've been using recently (scripted of course):

To compress:

tar --create --verbose --use-compress-program="pixz" --file foo.tar.xz --directory <bar_dir> .

To extract:

tar --extract --verbose --use-compress-program "pixz -d" --file foo.tar.xz

Unlike bz2 or xz, pixz it uses all CPU cores both for compression and decompression, and as well allows extracting individual files fast. It's also compatible with xz itself.

All translation is a creative act and respect for the original work is likely going to counsel taking some liberties with regards to "literal" translations.

Here's a line:

> そんなに簡単に使えるものなのか、"魔法"ってヤツは？

> Is this "magic" stuff really that easy to use?

That is a literal translation, to a point, but it is a lossy translation. You've substantially lost the characterization of the solider, who is obviously lowborn/uneducated/crude/etc in the original (to a degree that "stuff" does not capture -- the giveaway is ってヤツは？, which is content-free and hence murderously difficult to translate). The shipped translation makes a nod in the direction of that characterization, and (correctly) captures that Solider B is the sophisticated one of the two, by a fair but not impossible margin.

Also, to the extent you believe authorial intent is a function of authors rather than of texts, this translation (like many!) is a joint creative endeavor of the author and the translator, and (again, if you believe authorial intent matters) the author's direction trumps your aesthetic preferences.

(Disclaimer: comment informed by professional experience as a J->E translator/interpreter.)
Driving full time for Uber costs $214 a week in maintenance and depreciation costs (minus Hertz’ profit): https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/misc/index.jsp?targetPage=Ube...

That is way less than the 50 cents a mile that the author cited.

Agree Uber could calculate that and provide that info to drivers, which would be useful.
Yeah, exactly. Hertz doesn’t have that problem given they can give you a week of a car that isn’t brand new.
Fair enough, my apologies.

The parent is assuming everyone acts like him, and I'm inclined to agree from personal anecdata.
"must not": stance should be enforced, aka regulation.

"manage their system in an anti-competitive way...": do something against the principles of net neutrality.

It certainly sounds like support for net neutrality regulation, which has not been implemented outside of Title II rules.

If the argument is that net neutrality should be enforced in a different way, there must be a different way. Currently there is not, so we must be talking about title II.
It's wording like that that's confusing. Once your income goes into a higher bracket, you are only taxed at that higher bracket for the income _that falls within that new bracket._ The income that _pushed_ you into that bracket is taxed the same way.

5G is going to solve this. You’ll affix a transmitter/receiver to a window of your house and you can bypass your cable company.

The point still stands, if a company is introducing fast lanes and slow lanes and it is making enough customers angry enough, a competitor will swoop in and take their business.

Take an extreme example of Comcast only allowing HD streaming of Comcast owned programming and throttling the rest. That would be so bad that folks would cancel Comcast, which would provide an opportunity for a non atrocious company to displace them.

As things currently stand, Comcast is good enough that a competitor can’t “out customer service” them to displace them.

No garbage collected language will ever have RAII, the features conflict. Go does not have RAII, but tries to fix it with "defer" [1].

As for why not, you'd have to ask the Go team. But my guess would be that as a general rule, Go does not have language feature X. It's a very, very basic language deliberately lacking pretty much every modern language feature you can think of. The pro/con is that programming in Go is very delibarete. Go programs will only ever do what you explicitly make them do, to an almost ridiculous extent. If a Go program knows how to sort a list of customers, it takes 20 lines of code to make it aware of how to sort any other record type. Especially operations minded people this is a big plus.

Exactly. Insurance rates change with greater mileage and also with using a car for business instead of personal use.

If there is an accident, an Uber driver will need to pay out of pocket, unless they lie and tell the insurance company the ride wasn't for Uber.
Many people in this thread are sharing that coffee/caffeine doesn't work for them, and then others are replying that it must not be true, there's scientific evidence!!11 Look, one scientific study doesn't mean it will work for everyone. It's very likely that there is plenty of counter evidence available, as with almost every study. We all live by our own personal guidance, and that's fine if it doesn't hurt anyone. Coffee or not, it's great what works for you. But those replying here saying that person's personal experience mist be wrong, are just rude and ignorant.

I am talking about peoples’ home internet connections (or the PC bang where they play, etc). High-budget games these days locate servers around the world, so that is not an issue.

Yes, good connections are expensive for some people. If you want to do something about that, maybe you include amount of latency in a player’s ELO or something. I am just saying that I do not like Valve’s approach to the problem (which has been inherited by many other games) because I care about games and it makes games worse overall.

> I am sure the Pentagon and NASA have a plan...

The plan probably is about communication channels and who decides what, and what not to do, more than what to do. Regardless of the content, I'm very sure it's not going to be followed, even if it did exist.
As I noted above, the tmux command send-prefix will send the command prefix character to the process tmux is managing. So if you open a connection to a remote system and run/connect to a tmux session there, and you have the same command prefix for both systems, you can <command prefix>:send-prefix<enter> to e.g. disconnect and reconnect from a shell that's not running tmux. If you're going to be doing this on purpose and fairly often, you might consider binding a key for send-prefix.

I would prefer not to have to remember which tmux I was talking to all the time and so I would just connect from a normal shell, but ymmv of course.

Very true, but it simply is a semantic gap. I suspect(not know) most economics students are taught 'deflationary scenario' or 'deflation' is when savings from waiting outweigh (cost of not having the item or benefit of having the item).

> I'm thinking 20 cents for car depreciation, 5 cents for tires, 10 cents for gas, 10 cents for insurance, another 5 cents for misc maintenance costs, the IRS 50 cent estimate isn't bad.

The point here though is that insurance doesn't go up if you drive for Uber, you would have bought it anyway and paid the same amount. That can be erased from the calculation.

The largest part of depreciation for late-model cars, age of the vehicle, is happening whether you drive for Uber or not, so delete (IMO) $0.15 of that $0.20 from depreciation. (If the car is not late-model, the difference between 150k miles and 250k miles is probably less than $1k.)

So the calculation is more like:

5 cents for car depreciation, 5 cents for tires, 10 cents for gas, 0 marginal cents for insurance, another 5 cents for misc maintenance costs = $0.25.
It's less crazy but more error prone. 3rd-party documentation has a tendency of being wrong and out of date quickly. It's not bad but it always needs to be taken with a grain of salt unless you really trust the maintainers of the docs.
Note that if you add the requirement that i and j start on the same node, then no matter what step size you use for x and y, as long as they are integers > 0 and x != y, then i and j will meet again if and only if there is a cycle.

For particular values of x, y, and loop period there may be values of i and j such that going forward from those they never meet, but it is not possible to get into one of those positions if a past state had i == j.

Proof:

In the following I'll use your notation for the most part, except allowing for a "lead in" of length L from that common starting node to the start of the loop, so the nodes are numbered 0, 1, 2, ..., L-1, L, L+1, ..., L+n-1, with the nodes in the loop being {L, L+1, L+2, ..., L+n-1}.

At time t, i has taken xt steps and j has taken yt steps. Let t >= L/x and t >= L/y, so that i and j are both past the lead in into the loop.

Then i is xt-L steps into the loop, and j is yt-L into the loop. These will be at the same spot in the loop if xt-L = yt-L mod n, which happens whenever (x-y)t = 0 mod n. All multiples of n are solutions of this, so just pick any that are >= L/x and L/y, and you have a solution.

If i and j do not start at the same place, all bets are off. That 0 is replaced with the differences between the starting node numbers, and as your example shows may not have a solution for some combinations of parameters.
correct.

every empire has its victims. the question posed by the OP's article was why not the chinese empire rather than the anglo-american empire as a point of first contact.

That seems a little pedantic for what is almost certainly talking about VMs and VDIs which are contrasted with 'physical machines'.
You have to prorate some portion of the fixed costs, but it seems like the 53 cent figure is assuming that the entire lifetime of the vehicle is used for business.

First contact is a species event, I really don't think it matters who makes it first. My reasoning is derived from a though experiment (happy to explain, but it should be obvious), which is all we have to go on this stuff. Long story short: it's highly probable that a species wouldn't care about our primitive political systems when engaging with us. It would most likely be a philanthropic event - which is a strong indicator of why nobody has engaged with us: we're not worth the time.

As usual this article places to much emphasis on the human. We really aren't that important. Our political systems are irrelevant in the grander scheme.

But once I lost focus, I crashed hard and I would stop playing for the day.

All mistakes are accidental. Seldom do people write a line of code thinking, "I'm making a mistake." If your language encourages people to casually write unsafe code, any time you spent on safety guarantees was wasted because those guarantees disappear in all of that code and all of the code that touches it. And that's a lot of space for mistakes.
But sadly slower, less secure, and less stable. That's the trade off. Feel free to use Firefox 52 ESR (which is secure except for extension security, of course) as it will allow you to use legacy extensions and receive security updates through June 26, 2018. By then, the WebExtensions API will be even more powerful and enable additional extensions.

Side Note: According to Mozilla's add-on site, Pentadactyl is only used by 289 users and appears to have been abandoned years ago, so it's doubtful that it's being worked on from either the extension side by an extension author or the WebExtensions side within Mozilla for features. Perhaps finding another extension (or commissioning one once keybindings are available in WebExtensions) would be in order.
That sounds like what's essentially a TPM.
