However, EVERYTHING has to switch over before it happens. Everyone has to change all their passwords and security questions and private keys.

Additionally, anything sent over the Internet via ANY of the standardized public key encryption algorithms can be skimmed and stored right now and decrypted once quantum computers are available. Social security numbers, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, security question answers, tax returns, trade secrets, personal details, Signal messages between elected officials and/or dissidents, informants, etc... All in clear text to anyone with forethought to start storing it right now.

Changing to a quantum resistant algorithm doesn't change the past; it doesn't change data that has already been archived.

That's why Quantum Jubilee is going to be such a big deal. Not only do you have the usual slowness in deploying new encryption standards (thus likely exposing industrial equipment, etc), but everything being sent right now is already at risk.

And we don't know when it'll happen. Could be 5 years from now, could be 15. Could have already happened in secret (unlikely, but still possible).

I don't know if it's true or not but it seems at least plausible. I can easily believe that Uber/Lyft make a difference at the margins of owning a car or a family owning a second car in relatively urban areas, especially those without great taxi service. Take out ridesharing and short-term rentals and there are definitely people who get away without cars today who would probably want/need to get one.

ADDED: Their numbers actually suggest something higher because this is just among Lyft's user base. It doesn't count Uber or other ridesharing apps.

Lawyer here.

Some of those cases are about the NLRB's authority, not anything else. I didn't look up all of them.
Past that so, as far as i know, attempting to waive class arbitration is untested against an explicit state policy, and i have doubts it would survive.

The only case about this so far is whether class action arbitration waivers are enforceable in general in the face of it being "too expensive" to arbitrate individually (no state law, etc, was at issue here), and the answer is "yes, they are enforceable". This is not surprising, these kinds of straight policy arguments rarely are winners in court. A state law would instead be a preemption issue.

It's one thing to say "you must arbitrate", which is clearly covered by the Federal Arbitration Act. That is why state laws that attempt to ban such clauses are preempted.

However, there is nothing that i'm aware in that act (though admittedly, it's been a while since i looked at the act), that preempts state laws prescribing the form of arbitration.

Thus, a state law saying "arbitration is awesome, but banning class arbitration is against our public policy", if they exist, should be valid. Preemption must be very clear.

Again, it's been a while, but when they were first preempted, states mostly did not have such laws on the books (IE they found required arbitration to be against public policy, and that was preempted by the FAA. They did not have laws that said that banning class arbitration to be against public policy)

Of course, if someone knows of a part of the FAA that explicitly allows prescribing the form of arbitration, then yeah, everyone is gonna lose.

Funny story: most of the places that pushed so hard for required arbitration had clearly not thought through the consequences. They still haven't, AFAICT.

I remember having lunch with one of the counsel at EBay and some other companies about a year after the original supreme court ruling on class actions, and he was very happy they could require arbitration (they got a lot of nuisance suits, to be fair to them), and asked me why Google didn't require arbitration (Note: I'm not legal counsel for Google, i haven't been involved in Google's TOS in years, blah blah blah)

I pointed out that class action/courts generally at least required a licensed lawyer to maintain and work on the suit, which was expensive, whereas arbitration could be done by lay people, and that he was essentially betting that nobody could make it cost effective to have a paralegal or someone manage fifty arbitrations at once, or a class arbitration.

I suggested that was probably a bad bet.
I still believe it to be a bad bet.

Nitpick, SQLAlchemy overrides the binary operators (~, &, |) for query construction, not the logical operators (and, or, not). It also has its own operators you can import (and_, or_, etc.)

And you are right, it can easily lead to mistakes; if you use logical operators by mistake when building a query, you will probably get 'True' instead of a query object.
Also works with valueOf:

let i = 0, a = {valueOf: () => ++i};
if (a == 1 && a == 2 && a == 3) {
console.log("all equal");
}

Object.defineProperty (modern version of __define[GS]etter__):

let i = 0;
Object.defineProperty(self, "a", {get: () => ++i});
if (a == 1 && a == 2 && a == 3) {
console.log("all equal");
}

So the logic of the first part of your post boils down to this:

There were people in the past skeptical of an outlandish claim who turned out to be wrong as that thing became something great, therefore people who are skeptical of another outlandish claim today are also wrong. Did I get that right?

Which is funny because in the past and in other legal areas, a contract requires a meeting of the minds, requires that everyone have adequate representation available, etc. Yet with click through contracts you have none of that. You don’t even have any sort of validated identification of the party that supposedly “signed” the “contract.” You have lopsided terms that do nothing to create equity between parties or indicate that informed negotiation took place. It’s just one party dictating terms to another party, with the ability to rewrite those terms on a whim with some petty opt-out period.

EULA / TOS click wrap and shrink wrap licenses make a mockery of contract law out of convenience, transferring effectively what was supposed to be a reasonable agreement between two identified and informed parties and making it a completely one sided agreement dictated to one party, which nobody has actually identified until a claim arises.

The alternative is to not have license agreements. License agreements just end up including terms that companies wish they could change about the law but can’t. So instead of having to get politicians to ban reverse engineering, they just include it in their license. Instead of having to get policiticans to ban or limit class action lawsuits, they just force you out of the courts.
I haven't heard the term "design system" in this context before. Can you give a definition or overview of what it is?
If I understood the system correctly, at that point mining would become much less profitable so a lot of miners would stop their operations. In that case, difficulty would automatically decrease at the same rate as miners quit, and at some point it would become somehow profitable for the remaining miners to subsist on transaction fees.

Let me preface this story by saying that your parents did a shit thing and I'm glad they were duly punished. Fuck ivory. But I'm getting distracted.

Bitcoin is unlike your situation as with ivory you have to have physical contact with the shady person. With BTC you don't. People online don't care as much about dealing with shady people. It's also kinda hard to tell who's a shady person online.
you don't actually have to manage type definitions for your own code (unless you're referring to typing parameter/return values), just things that you eg. fetch from the backend. those can be trivially generated by a tool from sample json or you can generate it all from things like OpenAPI.
Well, actually, at least the reason why the very rich nationals from my country elect to have surgery in the U.S. is because the very best doctors are there - possibly because they're extremely well remunerated there, and the best research is done in the U.S. as well.

I wonder if the insurance we're talking about covers the kind of procedure people from other countries do in the U.S.

I absolutely trust medical professionals in my country and I believe we have some of the very best healthcare in the world - way better than in the U.S. - wait time for an MRI is same-day if needed (same as you say for the U.S.), surgery is 13 days and the cost is maybe 30 dollars for the ticket. No deductibles, no hidden costs. Zero people became bankrupt due to medical emergencies in my country (plenty of other causes like high taxes, but nothing directly medical-related).

But if I had the millions and I had to have open-heart surgery I would possibly choose the Cleveland Clinic, and similarly for other very serious health problems, the equivalent top clinic.
No. Having separate bathrooms for men and women is sexist, by definition. What I hoped for was discussion on whether all sexism is bad.
The DNA you leave behind when you touch things can actually be more useful than just the cellular DNA isolated from a genome test and put into a database.

DNA analysis of your microbiota can indicate more than just what you are or who you are, but also your current health status, where you have been, and who you associate with. It would also be one way to distinguish between identical twins.
I similarly have no real intention to drive for my own sake or own a car, but since I do have a license I can be called on to do things for friends and family - moving/dropping or picking someone up at the airport/getting grocerties/etc. I think the added utility is a net good(well certainly for my loved ones if not myself).
Not novel. I heard about it from a possibly apocryphal espionage story wherein a program was loaded to an airgapped machine, then it flashed a rapid sequence of 2-d bar codes on the screen, and the attacker exfiltrated the data as a video file.

But how much would you or others pay for such a service, on a monthly basis?
You only need to grade-separate the crossings. There are plenty of examples of pedestrian overpasses for busy streets. You can get around a big area in lot of major cities without ever crossing a street at surface-level, but as already mentioned, it is expensive.

(Though I can't imagine people being happy about going up and down stairs, escalators, or elevators every time they want to cross a street.)

The necessity arises from the car-drivers, so you charge them for the pedestrian safety measures, just like you charge them for the creation and maintenance of limited-access highways.

Without crosswalks, there is no pedestrian-crossing phase needed in the traffic signals, so separating the two types of traffic simultaneously makes cars faster and pedestrians safer. The question really is how much drivers would be willing to pay to shave that last minute off their commute.

If you look at projects like Boston's "Big Dig", the answer is that they are willing to spend quite a lot [of other people's money].

The originals were, IMO, something for upper management to show off with. It could be argued that the machines could be used for productive work, but it was ungodly high price to pay for such an underpowered machine. For half the price and a pound more in weight, a lot of machines would mop the floor with the Air.

That’s not to say that cramming it into a case that size wasn’t impressive, and it was a rough preview of the nice Airs Apple would later build. Just two years later an Air was my main dev machine.
Uber, and I imagine Lyft, are banking on automation. So what is sustainability? Self driving vehicles, at scale, could profitably provide service for a lower cost per mile than a person who owns their own vehicle. And that industry is going to have incredibly rapid growth likely culminating in a monopoly that could yield the largest company in existence. We drive in the ballpark of ~300billion miles per month [1]. Consider the worldwide market. A profit of even just a few cents a mile starts to look very insane very fast.

This is something many people think, but isn't necessarily true. Yes, the left hand fingering requires dexterity, but the dynamics, timing, and much of the tone come from very fine movements of the right hand. If you think about the bow as a lever, tiny movements at the fulcrum make enormous differences to the forces applied in the middle or at the end. So there's less finger motion, but more fine adjustment happening at the right hand than many people think.
Its good that you are bringing this up. Bitcoin is entirely resistant to this, which can be demonstrated by the fact that Bitcoin is supposed to be popular in Zimbabwe.
The idea of a link between violence in games and behavior is an interesting one that only gets more interesting the further you look into it. How did the idea ever get as far as it has? Consider the situation:

'Violence' in videogames bears no resemblance to actual violence. Not in visual appearance, sound, consequence, destructive potential, irreversibility, nothing. Other than using the word 'violence' to describe what occurs in a game, there isn't another similarity. On top of that, the idea that the author of a medium can remote-control the behavior of the audience is typically relegated to the insane ramblings of schizo-affective disorders. It suggests a total disassociation from reality.

Does re-using some terminology really have such a tremendous ability to trick, mislead, and concern people? Just because we call a collection of pixels a "person" or "character", and because humans are good at telling stories... we jump to the conclusion that these figments must feel pain, wish not to die, etc?

Then you have the mirror neurons. They do fire when seeing even crude depictions of human beings on a screen -- after extensive training of the viewer. We know from encounters with pre-literate tribes and other un-exposed peoples that interpretation of images is a skill which must be learned. And the brain is not stupid. It knows when it is processing an image and interpreting it versus perceiving it directly. But, perceiving and understanding the fictional situations depicted actually does include stimulation of some similar parts of the brain. Some, not all, and not at an extremity of degree necessary to ever cause any sort of damage. Enough that some studies will get to say "oh look, amygdala activity" and radically conjecture that to lead to rampant murder or whatnot.

Overall, I think we should hang in every school and public place a print of 'The Treachery of Images'. That's the painting with the pipe that says 'This is not a pipe' in French under it. Perhaps if enough people stare at it long enough they will realize just how amazingly stupid they've been for so long attributing so much weight to just... images.
From Lyft's report:

> We surveyed 30,000 passengers  and 37,000 drivers in 52 major cities.

I suspect they may have done some generous extrapolation here...(e.g. "0.1% of the 30,000 Lyft passengers we surveyed got rid of their cars for ridesharing, so 0.1% of the U.S. population must have ditched cars for ridesharing")

IMHO the only thing stopping an extension is that next year is a mid-term election year and a lot of house members will be busy. I have zero doubt that this congress would not push back against a major corporation like Disney on a matter like this. The best hope for saving the public domain is general dysfunction on the hill. This is especially true if you get people like Lawrence Lessig in there arguing against extension, some members would vote for it just to stick it to him and all of his ivory tower leftist friends.
Also likely to apply in any late-bound language where operators are implemented by messaging e.g. Ruby:

now a == b returns true for all b.

> That said, women as a group are disproportionately on the receiving end of improper workplace behaviour overwhelmingly perpetrated by men.

Yes, that is definitely the case in places where men outnumber women in positions of power, which is still most businesses. I can tell you, from first hand experience, that when that dynamic is flipped, men, perhaps equally as often, become the more objectified party.

IMO this is an issue of human nature and power dynamics, not the genetic proclivities of any one sex or gender identity. I know that my own experiences made me completely avoid mixing work and "attraction". I suspect that the higher percentage of women facing this abuse and coming to the same conclusion also drives the disparity.

But we don't have to single out men and give offending women a pass, even if it's supposed to be temporary, to solve the problem. "Nobody can do this to anyone and get away with it" also solves the problem without making the non-offending men feel unfairly singled out.

I can tell you, it's extremely frustrating to have people assume that I'm a potential offender, only because of my sex and gender identity when, in fact, I've repeatedly been the victim.
Gender discrimination is obviously not illegal. How do you think rec sports leagues or support groups work?

Let's look at the Lightening network white paper:

8.4 Payment Routing

It is theoretically possible to build a route map
implicitly from observing 2-of-2 multisigs on the
blockchain to build a routing table. Note, however, this
is not feasible with pay-to-script-hash transaction
outputs, which can be resolved out-of-band from the
bitcoin protocol via a third party routing service.
Building a routing table will become necessary for large
operators (e.g. BGP, Cjdns). Eventually, with
optimizations, the network will look a lot like the
correspondent banking network, or Tier-1 ISPs.

So LN cites the need for large liquidity providers to act as hubs, essentially payment processor hubs.

Why not just use venmo at that point?

Why would someone want to use Bitcoin with the LN, especially if it requires them buying Bitcoin from someone else?
Correlation != Causation. I moved to a city and sold my car, and shortly after used ride sharing for the first time. But I don't use it much and it certainly didn't cause me to sell it. I wouldn't be surprised of that's just how many of their customers recently moved to a city.
I agree with the blog posting: "One of the criticisms of machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches to the study of data is that both are “black box” technologies, which can provide useful automated answers but which do not provide human interpretable output, and for which it is often not possible to understand how they are doing what they are doing."

Ayasdi may have cracked that problem!
