Re #3: It basically makes two points.

That zoning should be more liberal and less specific (stop trying to plan in such fine grain), which makes a lot of sense.

And zoning should be done at the national level. Absolutely laughable in a country as large and diverse as the US.

"And the Reserve System, established in response to monetary instability, had the power to exercise deliberate control over the stock of money and so could take advantage of this possibility to promote monetary stability.
That conjecture is not in accord with what actually happened. As is clear to the naked eye in Chart 1, the stock of money shows larger fluctuations after 1914 than before 1914 and this is true even if the large wartime increases in the stock of money are excluded. The blind,
undesigned, and quasi-automatic working of the gold Standard turned out to produce a greater measure of predictability and regularity--per-haps because its discipline was impersonal and inescapable--than did
deliberate and conscious control exercised within institutional arrangements intended to promote monetary stability."

i was really enthousiastic about swift as well, but the slow pace at which it is moving on big features such as concurrency (swift still has no native mutex or lock primitives, and nothing related to multithreading), makes me really feel this project isn't backed as much as it should by apple, especially compared to the ambition of the language ( world domination).

This plus the fact that Apple still keep messing up its OS releases, while adding nothing interesting to the end-user...

One thing is clear, my next project will be developped in a cross-platform environment.
Perhaps he means the tooling for using emscripten with rust is superior, and easier to get set-up? (i'm not actually sure if it is, i've never tried it). I'm really excited about the future of rust and have really enjoyed writing a raytracer in it, but I don't see how it's an easier-to-use language than C or C++. Easier to write safe code in sure, but not easier to pick up for a newbie.
Some, if not most, of this is a result of the insurance system. The insurance companies only pay x% of any given item, therefore the hospitals have to jack prices through the roof to collect enough to survive.

The problem with our healthcare system is that too much money goes to drug companies, medical device makers, and insurance companies and not enough makes it to the people actually providing the care. Its a bit more complicated than that, I'd admit, but that's the TLDR version.

For all of my use cases, either physical access counts as game over and is out of the threat model, or we're using Secure Boot for verifying the bootloader and/or TPMs for keeping secrets, at which point this is a problem with known solutions that aren't specific to image-based updates. If you're using Secure Boot with read-only images, one thing to try is dm_verity, which is how Chrome OS solves this problem - it's a Merkle hash of the entire block device that's checked lazily as blocks are accessed. If a block has been tampered with, you can configure dm_verity to either panic the system or return an I/O error for that block. (Or you can just read the entire image and verify it up front at the cost of slower boot time.)

In particular, for all my use cases, there's already some mechanism for the device gaining a secure channel to the rest of the infrastructure, so if you're worried about keeping updates secret (which you may or may not be!), just protect updates by that mechanism.
The ( British ) Royal Navy issued nylon uniforms from the 1960s until the Falklands War. At which time they learned that in a fire those were responsible for horrific burns.

All kids tend not to be observant wrt other people's reactions. The ability to communicate with a broad audience at a young age is itself a sign of intelligence.

My point is that OP was treating the "big words" dismissal merely as a signifier of intelligence. It's also a signifier that one lacks the ability to communicate clearly with others. That's hardly a revelation wrt 4th graders, but it's worthy of reflection at whatever age the OP happens to be now. I know plenty of people who enjoy wearing that inability as a fashion just as people now buy designer "nerd glasses."

> People who "hate politics" tend to create a lot of it.

There is a reason for that.

Politics is basically the process of pasting kludges together until the net result is something that no powerful group hates enough to be willing to smash it all to smithereens with a sledgehammer.

But if you objectively look at any of the kludges individually, or even the overall result after a few years, it's a horrific mess. A horrific mess at a Nash equilibrium. So as soon as you start picking apart any subsection of the omnishambles, everything falls out of balance and someone starts screaming for you to stop.

And it is a horrific mess that should be smashed to smithereens with a sledgehammer every few years, but the only way to do that is to wipe the slate clean and start over from scratch with multilateral negotiations between two hundred separate parties. Which is a ton of work that nobody wants to do when they can get away with kicking the can down the road for another year.

So anybody who tries to smash up any part of the mess has to fight everyone who would rather keep the status quo than do the work to fix it right now.
Those are BS accomplishments and their twisting of logic is beyond ludicrous.
There was no monetary policy in the US prior to 1914.
I work at Dharma with Nadav and am happy to shed some light here.

Your point is well-taken and definitely a risk. What lenders plan to do, for loans collateralized by crypto, is overcollateralize substantially.

So, for instance, in order to take out a 50k USD loan, you may need to put up 2.5-3x of the value in ETH, say 150K USD worth of ETH. This protects against some of the volatility (though definitely not completely).
Last time I tried wine was something like 15-20 years ago. I thought it was a great project but that they would never be able to get it right. Is it working well now?

Remember, the side effect of this policy is that car ownership rate becomes really low. I doubt the purpose is to increase revenue. Maybe it's more about minimizing the negative externalities.
Heh - I've mentioned this here before - I got very lucky a while back, when between finalising the design and BOM of our IoT widget and ordering parts for the first production run - the price of 4G micro SD cards dropped below the price of 2G ones. That gave me an entire full sized extra partition to play with for updates, which reduced a _lot_ of my headaches...

To clarify: Medicare reimburses rates that are below COGS, so hospitals have to increase the amount they charge private insurers in order to make up the loss.
He is assuming you set individual prices per customer or basically that each customer has his or her own demand elasticity.

What you are thinking of is a market demand, which is a useful approximation when the market is large and anonymous.
Instead, he gets at the idea that each customer has an individual reservation price, upon which he will still buy your service or good.
If you manage to ask exactly this price, you can extract the maximum profit from each customer.

Caveat to my wasted effort comment:

Your'e an e-commerce site that has a problem with people buying goods (especially virtual goods, ebooks, gift cards, etc)[1] with stolen credit cards. You need a solution.

The hardest thing I've ever had to crawl (as I mention in another comment in this thread) has been linkedin and Facebook. Why? Because I have to be logged in to get the data I want.

If you want to stop crawlers you can also put the good stuff behind auth, but you need a solid auth mechanism. You can't just do email verification because I'll use shit like https://www.mailinator.com to generate a ton of fake emails to sign up for your site.

[1] Why virtual goods? You can't stop shipping or track down the person once the card is reported stolen.
Maybe the lesson there is that cities should not prostrate themselves every time a big corporation says they might create create some jobs there.
Some additional information:
The yearly tax on cars are heavily affected by the milage of the car and ranges from $40/y for cars above 75mpg to $5260/y for cars below 12mpg (diesel figures)
Once you pay that tax at purchase, is there also annual registration fees?

A few of the American states I've lived in have charged annual taxes based on a car's worth (decreasing over time). I hope you don't get nailed every year!

I am a car nut, and I'm happy to live in the US where I can afford fun cars that I would not be able to afford in other places.

However, I also see quite a bit of logic in this. It increases not just the COST of a car, but the value as well. Now your car doesn't depreciate as fast, which makes repairs seem more reasonable. The resale value is higher. People buy more used cars, repair them, and keep them on the road. In the end, the "cost" of just throwing a car on the scrap heap (okay, dismantling and scavanging for parts/melting down metal, etc) is much higher.

There are really some great consequences to this.
When attempting to counter an un-alloyed good like "50k new high-paid jobs" with potential negatives, can you please be clearer about the alternative outcome you desire? I can't tell from your objection whether you:

1) Support the 50k jobs, but want extra effort to be taken to support existing populations/communities

2) Prohibit the 50k jobs so things can stay the same

3) Let the 50k jobs go elsewhere so they're not a local problem

4) Something else entirely that I'm missing
How would this stop crawling by users who cannot afford the API subscription or don't want to pay for it?

I think your suggestion would reduce crawling, but not prevent or block it.
Personally wish people would stop tinkering with the UI - polish but do not tinker/change needlessly. Case in point being that Linux likely remains fringe as a desktop platform simply because of it's continual tendency to morph on the UI side of things.

Then again, Win10 is going down the same route so maybe it will all even out (...).
I think it is relevant to consider gravity from a more abstract standpoint as well by looking at Le Sage's theory and particularly Hyugens' comments. [1]

Whether gravity is mediated by a graviton, and the intricacies that QM brings to bear, one interesting idea I took from the above hundreds of years of thought on the subject -- gravity may be a pushing force mediated by constant spherical wave emission (quantized as the graviton if necessary) from all mass/energy. Since every bit of mass-energy is releasing gravitons, the whole of space is rather isometrically filled with gravitons. The reason two objects would then appear to attract via Newton's inverse-square law is one of a shadowing effect. The graviton would apply a pushing force normally to any mass-energy it interacts with, and therefore any blockage/shadowing of one object by another, would end up looking like attraction.

Le Sage's theory is more exacting and supposes gravitons are of similar substance to regular matter. I don't agree with most of these notions but what I said above is what I gained.

If we limit ourselves to those two options, I believe torture is worse. Or can be. There is no end to the horrors when you intentionally keep someone alive to make them suffer at your whim, vs. killing them in one fell swoop.

Torture exposes the blackest parts of our humanity in a way that droning someone never could.
They key to the best neighborhoods for walk-ability isn't just retail. It is retail with narrow store fronts. By keeping the store fronts narrow you create a situation where you have a lot more variety per walking distance. SOMA (south of market in san francisco) is way less good than it could be because there is so much less variety than say 24th street in the mission, or valencia in the mission or Green/Union etc. in North Beach.
That is because those currencies are inflationary. Without a moderate interest rate, putting it in the bank wouldn't even be considered "saving".
> We live in an age where "Muslim ban" sounds like appropriate policy to about half the population. In Democracy the people get the government they deserve. Guess we really don't deserve human rights and habeus corpus.

So speak up. Educate your fellow citizens as to why these issues are important. Break through their media bubble/snowglobe and have multiple meaningful conversations that go deeper than the talking points spewed out by media personalities. Much of the country is purple not red and blue - if you can have a respectful conversation with someone you can find common ground on these issues.

And show up on election day.

The First Amendment exists for a reason - "we get the government we deserve" applies to those of us who chose to stay informed as well if we don't respond to the challenges of the day.

You're forgetting that the cars in front need to break as well.

With an intelligent mesh the emergency lane abort order will propagate from one to many within the local area and a standard algorithm will determine what each traveling vehicle must do as they all react at the same time to avoid the intruding objects and bring energy in play to a minimum, hopefully zero, value in the affected area.

At the same time emergency response services would automatically be notified as well.

That's pretty neat.

For our purposes, those residential IPs that are used maliciously through this service will just hurt the reputation of the ISP they belong to. I suspect we'll see something shake out in the data where this activity is limited to some kind of specific demographics (ISP, netrange, geographic location) and shouldn't interfere too badly with the system as a whole.
To be fair, unless I missed it, that article is mostly just saying "The L1 and L2 are much faster than L3 and beyond". That's correct - but it doesn't imply that the L2 is somehow as fast as the L1 (if that were true, why have the distinction between L1 and L2 at all?).

Once you go to the L3, you suffer a large jump in latency (something like 12 cycles for L2 to ~40 cycles for L3 - and on some multi-socket configurations this gets worse) and you are now sharing the cache with all the other cores on the chip, so the advice to "Keep in L1 and L2" make a lot of sense.

Intel used to claim their L2 had 64 bytes per cycle bandwidth - and indeed there is probably a bus between the L1 and L2 capable of transferring 64 bytes per cycle in some direction: but you could never achieve that since unlike the core to L1 interface, which has a "simple" performance model, the L1<->L2 interface is complicated by the fact that you need to (a) accept evictions from L1, and (b) that the L1 itself doesn't have an unlimited number of ports to simultaneously accept incoming 64-byte lines from L2 and (c) everything is cache-line based.

The upshot is that even ignoring (c) you never get more than 32 bytes per cycle from L2 and usually less. Intel recently changed all the mentions of "64 bytes per cycle for L2" into "32 bytes max, ~2x bytes sustained" in their optimization manual in recognition of this.

Once you consider (c) you might get even way less bandwidth from L2: in L1, on modern Intel, your requests can be scattered around more or less randomly and you'll get the expected performance (there is some small penalty for splitting a cache line: it counts "double" against your read/write limits), but with L2 you will get worse performance with scattered reads and writes since every access is essentially amplified to a full cache line.

It turns out that L2 writes are especially bad:

I had US Secret Service show up at my office once, demanding information on an external NAT IP. We had 10k NAT'd devices behind that IP. Apparently some doofus wrote on some govt. website they were threatening the president. A warrant later (which took < 1hr to get!) I told them everything I could, which was "Oh that traffic was to this entirely different legal entity, you need to go talk to them now."
Borrowing against collateral means the lender has something to seize if you fail to pay them back. The more valuable the collateral, the more money the lender will recover when they repossess and sell the collateral. This likelihood of recovery (if you default!) may make them willing to lend you more money, or give you a better interest rate.

I wonder if any managers can answer this, how do, or do you deal with employees that act within their rights and don't drink the cool-aid? There have been so many times where I have worked beyond the call of duty and on reflection I don't know why I did it - there is a low chance of getting a bonus or raise compared to spending the time actually getting paid to do something and you are in your right to say no (to some extent anyway, I remember a colleague got in trouble for going out for not cancelling his dinner plans instead of waiting hours for someone to come out of a 8 PM meeting.)

From what I’ve observed, the idea is to work in hell (edit: obviously hyperbole) until enough money is made to work on your own. Needless to say that doesn’t seem to be the majority experience. The carrot is money and security and the dream of fuck you money. The stick is being a code monkey who is still treated like shit, but who can’t even dream of early retirement and personal projects. It’s a shallow philosophy, but there it is.

The willingness to take tons of shit from above, and the ability to rationalize the waste of talent seems to be what you’d expect from a glorified casino for billionaires. Variable-Ratio reward training will fuck you up.

Edit: I would guess that fear plays a role too. I recall a poster here saying they wished they could change their circumstances, but they look at the guy delivering their pizza and feel terrified that could be them.
