True. This is the crux of the issue. In the beginning of commerce, identity was literally your physical presence. As business evolved, it gradually became a collection of information contained in documents, sometimes bearing seals and signatures. It was a lot easier to copy than someone's physical body, but still not trivial. With the advent of the digital age, it's become trivially easy to copy any data used to identify someone. So we moved to secrets, but that requires two people to keep the secret, only one of whom is really incentivized to do so. Then we turned to public key encryption. It's the best thing we've been able to come up with, but still suffers from computational loopholes, often due to implementation flaws or poorly secured private keys.

Does it just come down to the cost of copying? Should all businesses who use identity data indemnify their customers against identity theft (as suggested elsewhere in this thread)?
My PM has a great way for dealing with engineer estimates: increment both the number and the unit.

1 hour becomes 2 days. 4 days becomes 5 weeks. And so forth.

I'm actually somewhat decent at estimating well defined work, so it actually annoys him when one day is one day; but I appreciate his work when some odd stumbling block (usually political; my estimating skills crash and burn when it involves working with humans) comes up and the time doubles or triples the estimate.
Perhaps, but the salient characteristic of dice is that the sides are marked. When you talk about dice becoming ordered, there is a very strong implication that you mean the sequence of facing sides, not the packing factor. If we must be pedantic, then the phrase "rounded cubes"---or even "dice-shaped-cubes"---would be more accurate and relevant than "dice" (which aren't even invariably cubes, but are invariably marked).
The US voted in favor of the declaration; can you elaborate on what you mean?

Building code is one of the reasons. In a lot of cities the builder is required to provide parking spaces and other amenities per apartment. This is after the minimum space required to build everything to code. This makes building small capsule apartments impractical and in some cases impossible.

Ask HN: Best Hacker News client for iOS?
I've encountered some grief finding a suitable Hacker News client for iOS (iPhone and iPad), which is bizarre because a cursory search on the App Store reveals so many of them.

My (if I may say so myself) fairly basic criteria are that the app I choose must function both on iPhone (preferably optimised for iPhone X) and iPad and allow me to log into my account to comment as myself.

This has turned out to be quite a chore. I've tried free, paid, in-app-purchase, and subscription-based (!) apps. They tend to suck quite diffusely: many do not support logging into one's account of those that purportedly do, many return an (inappropriate) authentication error (and are so >1 year old, so I suppose some change in the login API some time ago caused this state of affairs and that the apps have languished unmaintained since then). “Boreal” is particularly infuriating as it requires a subscription to log into one's account and to read more than 75 stories per week, and once paid for doeen't log in anyway.

I've settled on the free MiniHack as being the best one so far, and it comes extraordinarily close to meeting all my criteria (the only shortfall is lack of optimisation for iPhone X's screen, and lack of notifictions).

“Hacker Buzz” is the newest and looks graphically very promising, but doesn't support login. I haven't heard back from the developer I tried to contact through the feedback form either.

What apps do you recommend? (For various reasons, I'm not really a fan of using the web-browser, so please don't go down the “just use the webpage” route... of course one can use the webpage, but I'm looking for stand-alone app solutions.)

Thanks.
That's why if you look up a reasonable definition of "renewable" is has the 'in a small amount of time compared to geological processes', or something of the sort.

Toledo is a depressed version of Detroit, being its less rich next door sister city. It was even more exposed to automotive (Jeep). Though to be honest, it wasn’t that bad when I lived there in the 80s.
No, I didn't say "at any cost to anyone". I specifically outlined the system and the cost. You are again attacking straw men, this time by adding clauses.

So can you stop beating around the bush and admit you don't think humans should survive if they don't have enough wealth, even if their society has more than enough wealth for them to do so?

That's the fundamental point.

When I'm measuring my food, I like to shake it, so I can fit more in the measuring cup without increasing the calorie count. ;) Oatmeal will pack down quite a bit with some shaking.

The title is funny. I realize it's sometimes hard to translate and summarize scientific results for the layperson, but the paper wasn't comparing stirring or shaking. They compared rotating the container to tapping the container. Rotating is, ironically, a type of shaking, and closer to shaking than tapping. I would expect a good deal of dice packing in this experiment using vertical shaking, as opposed to lateral tapping.
My comment was about how socialism has different connotations to different people. That capitalists in America decry universal healthcare as socialist and capitalists in Europe tend not to. Just labeling capitalism as good or bad is not helpful. Aspects are good. Aspects are bad. Same with socialism.
Lincoln is listed as one of the least expensive, amongst the 100 most populous cities. Presumably the population count includes the college students.

Note that the "least expensive" data is from people reporting their rent on loan applications. College students probably take out fewer loans and would be underrepresented in the data set.

Edit: I see Lincoln is also one of the higher ones as a percentage of income; that could be skewed by college students but again, this data is from loan applications.
Completely agree, and that’s why our email addresses are formed in a way which shouldn’t be bruteforced/guessed to help reduce this. We’ve purchased a handful of our own domains that we monitor, rather than relying on any other suppliers.

In terms of mobile numbers, they are definitely prone to this, and that is why we make them optional - depends if you want to risk any false positive alarms. Some countries are more prone than others - US mobile get reused a lot it seems!
Do you feel it’s fair to say that women generally long for childbirth because that’s what selection pressures in the environment left us with?
Many of the people that ditch society find it much better than society, and love living outdoors and traveling wherever. It doesn't mean those people don't code - I have met quite a few of us on the road that code and live in dilapidated trailers, work for free/ volunteer for churches. As odd as it may seem to _you_, its not this lifestyle that is trapping its the housed one. You would have to live it to understand.
People are already leaving the country, and at an increasing rate. The rate of renouncements of US citizenship has been rising for the past 20 years but sharply under Obama. They have started making it HARDER to renounce, as some sort of attempt to keep people in-- one of the pieces of advice you will see often regarding renunciation is to never tell them you are renouncing for tax reasons.

That's one of the reasons they will refuse (yes, you have to beg permission to be let out of your slavery, er, citizenship)..... so the old saw of "you owe taxes because you choose to be here" is false..

More and more americans are leaving without renouncing, just going off the grid in asia or wherever, showing up only to renew their passports.

Once some country is smart enough to offer citizenship to educated americans, the trend will become a tide.

They delete content all the time... and they ban people all the time, without regard for whether they have done anything wrong.

Of course, since they delete the content you can't see the record of their actions.

I've seen dang insult someone, calling them names, while telling them they need to be civil. Total hypocrisy.

And that's why you never get any decent discussion here..... it's an echo chamber.

You most certainly can. I've built several Django apps with Elasticsearch-DSL as a backend and another app with a completely custom backend (you need a really good reason to do this).

There are tradeoffs of course: you give up the Django admin and a bunch of other things, at which point we might as well have used Flask. But our shop has a number of other "normal" pure-Django apps so it makes sense for us to use Django as a common base.

Awhile ago there was a book called "Lightweight Django" in which the authors showed how to use Django in a stripped-down Flask-like manner. Ultimately Django is just a big bag of parts that you can use or not use.

The OP claimed wealth was being printed. Bitcoin didn't exist a few years ago and by your definition it constitutes wealth. So the closest we've had to "printing wealth" is Bitcoin itself. I suggest you study quite a bit more finance before you become so enamored by all this. Stock buybacks and dividends are fully equivalent for example, the only real difference is how they're taxed.

> At any rate, Bitcoin/Ethereum and others are fundamentally new asset classes, they are technologized money. They allow you to do things with value that were never possible before.

This is too breathless to be meaningful. Care to name a few actual uses? There's a long way still for cryptocurrencies to demonstrate they actually bring anything of value to the table. From what I've seen so far Bitcoin may be a slight improvement on gold (an asset that's mostly useless these days) and Ethereum may be a slight improvement on complex financial instruments (things that are often actively harmful). I may be completely wrong of course, time will tell.

Most people that evangelize cryptocurrencies would probably be a lot better served by reading up on the basics of investing and start accumulating traditional baskets of assets. There's a long way to go before cryptocurrencies are validated as actually useful and a lot of risk along the way.

I thought this was kind of a weak article, or at least not particularly interesting... it's essentially just a bunch of tables with an exclamatory note on the outliers.

More importantly, I'm missing things like household size and square footage.

I mean, nobody is really interested in a rent prices in and of itself. We're interested in affordability, i.e. how much does it cost to rent per person, or per amount of area.

If you look at the average household size in Utah and Montana for example, and divide median state rent by each, you'll find the median rent per person in the household is $480 and $530 respectively, despite median rent being $1500 and $1270.

i.e., you may think it's less affordable to rent in Montana, but on a per capita basis, it's actually the opposite.

They do mention things like education and income typically being higher in expensive places, making this a one-sided story on affordability, but mostly leave it outside the scope of the analysis. A shame, cause it's interesting stuff!
LOL! I wasn't talking about guns, and no, guns are not safe, every year more and more guns are banned in this country. T he idea that guns are not being banned is just a lie that is told to pretend like not banning all of them outright isn't banning them.

But my point was that just because you have responsibility for inebriated people doesn't mean that drunk driving can't happen-- we should ban bars.

OF course the thing is, most people who go to bars don't drive drunk. They have the freedom of choice.

That's what's scary to HN people... who have been brought up to worship government and believe tyranny is a good thing.
The Scallop Sees with Hundreds of Eyes
Not sure about legislators but there have been plenty of shooters.

There have also been plenty who seem to have no ideological motive.

My point was that no single ideology has a monopoly on violence. Some like neo-Naziism or militant leftism might attract it more but the extent to which they do is limited by supply. Right now we have a whole lot of supply in the form of angry alienated underemployed people.
That is the sorry reality of the bazaar Raymond praised in his book: a pile of old festering hacks, endlessly copied and pasted by a clueless generation of IT "professionals" who wouldn't recognize sound IT architecture if you hit them over the head with it. It is hard to believe today, but under this embarrassing mess lies the ruins of the beautiful cathedral of Unix, deservedly famous for its simplicity of design, its economy of features, and its elegance of execution. (Sic transit gloria mundi, etc.)

I can say that, for the last seven years, I ran our little company as a Cathedral and not as a Bazaar.

We didn't import many packagess in PHP. We wrote our own code and made sure it integrated well with everything else.

We didn't run package managers and didn't freeze versions. We wrote all our own stuff in the app layer.

I can tell you, it's been... interesting. We know at the end of the day we are responsible for fixing stuff if it breaks. Not waiting for someone else to approve our pull request.

Since Raymond's book, something major happened: DISTRIBUTED VERSION CONTROL SYSTEMS such as git became mainstream.

So now you can build cathedrals IN THE BAZAAR!

Anyone who wants to maintain package X can fork it and maintain it. Maintainers gossip their improvements in a sort of blockchain consensus protocol. If a maintainer falls behind, the package continues to be maintained by others.

What I would like to see is MORE emphasis on content-addressable streams of data with history, instead of on the domains / urls from which they are fetched.

In other words, more IPFS and less HTTP.

That is the best of both worlds, and I describe it here: https://github.com/Qbix/architecture/wiki/Internet-2.0

The online high schools these days are varied and pretty good. If you have a child with special needs or just doesn’t fit into the box the public education system is designed around then homeschooling is the best option. You don’t need a PhD to teach grammar to an 8 year old. There’s also a wealth of incredible videos and teaching materials to help too.

If anything I think parents are best suited to teach their own children until high school given the parents have a reasonable IQ.
"We would DELETE from those tables every few hours because we were only interested in the last 2 weeks worth of rows, so the dataset size was constrained/bounded, so slow downs weren't a result of tables getting larger."

Running a Lagom microservice on Akka Cluster with split-brain resolver
Bazaar is what happens when you design by a committee. Sometimes it just so happen that the project is small and the only committee members are rocket scientists and the project is about building a new rocket and painting it black. Having worked on a project like that, I can assure you it is an absolute beauty. The code that those guys shipped has been running in production on hundreds of millions of systems for nearly twenty years. It just works.

In the other cases, however, it is a project to build a new car with new kind of square wheels because committee is a band of people who have some members that have never seen a car, some members that think it should go on tracks of Japan, some members that just like coloring spreadsheets, some members that wandered in directly from a bar after a happy hour. Oh and dont forget that guy who did something in a security field of the US Army, who keeps insisting that the wheels should be designed to withstand an IED.

Most of bazaar projects are the 2nd, not the first.

There's more to any apparent difference in the quality of open source code than just deadlines. It's also things like survivor bias. Messy open source codebases don't attract contributors at the same rate.

And deadlines are still a part of open source software development. Most the really widely used projects are heavily supported by corporate patronage, and you'd better believe that those companies are creating deadlines for the people they pay to contribute to those projects based on their own business needs.

For my part, to me it seems that "enterprise vs non-entperise" is a better predictor of code quality than "closed vs open source".

Private property as ownership is unjust according to e.g., Proudhon. Growing a piece of land and reaping the fruits of your labor is different from having a piece of land(/shares of a company/...) and benefiting from the work others do on that land.

Bill your clients for estimates and still give ranges. The more they want to dial in those ranges, the more billable time you spend estimating. "How long will it take to estimate" is a question you should be able to answer because you will control the deliverable in this case. Also, if you spend time with them asking questions and helping them discover the complexity of their request, they will soon see the benefit of this process.

Alternatively what I'll do is point out that their request is simply incomplete and I can help them create a better request, which I will then estimate (it's all still billable though).

>>In that case, also blame the tax payers, who are the ones who fund all of this.

So you are under the mythical belief that Taxation is voluntarily, when in reality taxation is involuntary theft if you refuse they will come and take it from you, if you resist their taking your property they will put you in a cage and if you resist them putting you in a cage they will kill you.

Taxation is in no way a voluntary act
