You pay alimony only if you expected women to give up work for marriage.
This is exactly why women in Japan have stopped getting married, it's a terrible deal for them as there is no flexibility in gender roles.

Men, as they currently exist, are becoming obsolete. There will need to be a great adaptation and reassignment of roles as women will soon surpass men in their 'default' social, financial and political status. Frankly, it isn't going to go down very well. Lets hope that traditional masculinity doesn't start a war on its way down.
I agree that its a disaster waiting to happen, so theres no need to apologize, I mention that it's a bad idea in the first paragraph.

To be honest, I don't really know why I even posted it besides the fact that it's something me and my friends have been discussing on and off for about a year now because it keeps coming up in the news.

The "bad guy" problem is an inherent problem and while me and my friends have come up with a few novel work-arounds none of them solves the problem completely.

Another issue is that multi-layer encryption could disrupt the government's ability to execute a warrant. If this BAD IDEA were implemented then multi-layer encryption would need to be made illegal and that starts us down a very dangerous path.

The only thing I think is a good idea is using a crypto key pair as a replacement for ssn but only if it's not really used for encryption.
> Access controls are not a substitute for maturity.

But maturity is not a substitute for access controls either.

In any organization of some size, no matter how much you hire for "maturity", eventually people will slip past who have all kinds of reasons they'll be able to justify to themselves for deciding it's too tempting to look at things they shouldn't.
But how is the data shared? E.g. when you sign up you store your data. But to edit it, or to just display it you need to access it again, but that data only belongs to the sign-up microservice...?
Dataism is here to stay: if it is not Google / Facebook, it will be somebody else. Progress can not be stopped. Those regulating their technology industry will be left behind. Taking a line from Jurassic Park: "Life finds a way".

This is rising equality in effect. The path to financial independence has opened up to average American women over the past 40 years. Marriage rates falling suggest that American women tend to exhibit (or feel pressured to follow) hypergamous tendencies.
Nearly all comments on the linked article share this comment's sentiment, with quite a few asserting that refusal to cooperate means that he deliberately triggered a false alert.

Interesting contrast to here, where most comments agree on blaming the process/system and that shutting up to avoid incriminating yourself is the proper response, regardless if it was an innocent mistake.
employability seems like the least interesting thing to women.

For people they date or for people they decide to settle down with with?
Disagree. This press report, rather, tries to piggyback on the Uber narrative. Hey, it got me to click!

It's clear from the stuff in the report that Lyft prohibits misuse of PII. The substance of the article is "sometimes people violate our prohibition." The substance of Uber's problems is "our executives and everybody else have free rein on the PII we collect." It's different.
There was also the trend of "herbivore men" in Japan where they didn't want to actively pursue women, and instead were just interested in being friends with them (in the purely platonic sense). This actually drove women mad because at some level they did want men to make the moves.
That's so true. When you're not married, you can decide one day you want to quit, and that's it, the end of the story. When you're married, you need to prepare to lose money. And why? The only reason is because you signed a piece of paper. It's a very bleak perspective.

This is strengthened by culture: look how the marriage is presented in the movies, for example. The woman is anxious if he's going to propose, then he has to buy a very expensive ring just to propose, then she is extremely happy as if she won a lottery (not because he loves her, but because he decided to marry).
> Almost everything is dependent on everything else. Is is essentially a software project made by a toddler cutting and pasting assembler code during millions of years.

I prefer to see it as code written by demoscene genius hackers - hyperoptimized, "almost everything is dependent on everything else" - the same opcode may have three different purposes in a program, plus being data to some other code.

Still, I feel we're missing some important part of the picture - our current descriptions make living systems seem much more fragile than they really are. Maybe there's a new model / structural abstraction waiting to be discovered, that would make DNA machinery seem less ad-hoc?

The ssh configuration is one of the reasons I still haven't been able to move to Ansible properly. I managed to get it working somewhat without any controlmasters but I would much prefer having those, they significantly speed up making the connections when jumping through 2 hosts.

Even without controlmasters when using higher parallellism than the default 5 it the ssh connections start to fail for no apparent reason.

E: And another reason I would love to not use Ansible is the god awful YAML. It's a horrible choice for a tool like this.
Perhaps its because my wife is a commercial litigation lawyer - but we've ended up having a fairly firm "contract" as to who does what in our household. She shops, I cook. She cleans some parts of the house, I clean others. We both look after our own clothes. Just about everything has a clear demarcation and, in general, we do the bits we like (or at least dislike least).

This has survived 27 years and kids so far.... :-)
Not all web developers build complex web apps out of sport, it is demanded of us to deliver that. JS as a runtime language had poor first time support to help us manage that complexity. We are lucky that some well meaning folks decided to offer tools to help us with that, and the ecosystem has been maturing.

Probably the reason you perceive this obsession with build tools is that incrementally each one had the goal to tackle a set of problems and it did, but then new pain points appeared and other tools were developed to help with that.

That being said, we seem to have reached a rather stable period without major raptures in the landscape for a couple of years. Maybe the growing pains are subsiding.

Am I reading this right? Who in their right mind would use this shit?
I've worked with a number of utilities here in the UK and they are pioneering in their use of technology, to the extent that in one example a power company
had reached the limits of a particular piece of software that I was supporting, and thus the US creator of the software was forced to patch it - it was originally built for the US market and US networks are smaller, and so when the whole of a UK country was thrown at it it puked. Another example was a multivariate GIS analysis that combined historic weather data with soil type, slope, tree height, type and distance from powerline etc to estimate risk to power supplies from trees falling onto power lines as a consequence of extreme weather events. Yet another example is route planning for national grid interconnects, including analyses of potential sea bed routes based on hydrographic data. There's so much stuff going on in the background that you only become aware of if you have a reason to.
Yeah, I need to get this sorted out. My long term GF and I are both really lazy in the home. It doesn't (often) strain the relationship, but ... yeah. Just having someone in to get a bunch of the drudgery out of the way would be good.
I must be one heck of a cynic then. Working in the electronics industry I see EDA tools doing more and more. When it comes to software developers try to automate a lot work if they can. Heck just think of build scripts. We are now using neural networks to build a model for algorithms we don't even know how to code.

So far these all still involve a person operating them. However, what if things get good enough that you don't need massive teams of people as before? There are so many things that can be automated. There is no way the thought of being safe from automation applies to 94% of people. Just shows how naive/deluded we can be as people. If this poll's sample represents the average population's view on the topic we are in for a rude awakening. If that is the case it would seem majority of us are just coasting along in la-la land instead of being aware.
That was a great book (movie was good also). It will be “interesting” to see how the world will change over the coming decades, good and bad effects of technology. I am in my mid 60s. From my point of view, the acceleration of technological improvements is geometric and life feels different as each new wave of technology changes our lives. I started using computers by entering programs in octal after hand assembly and now I occasionally run jobs using thousands of CPU cores.
I'm not sure you're being fair with that last bit. Granted, migrating webpack 1->2 was a nightmare even without the docs issue. But in contrast I moved from 2->3 without even touching my (fairly nontrivial) config and everything worked. Presumably there were breaking changes somewhere, but I got the impression they only really affected plugin authors.

So I'm not sure it's fair to decide the devs don't care about breaking changes. It seems more reasonable to assume that some wrong choices were made early on (including about how to handle docs and major releases), and they've been learning and getting better since. After all, if like most things it started out as someone's weekend hack, with no thought of growing into the powerhouse it is now, some early stumbles are fair enough, right?
These tools are important for legacy code or code that cannot be written in any language other than C. They do not bring C code anywhere near to code written in other languages in terms of security and correctness.
> un-black-boxify your UX

I thought the whole point of AI was that the program itself is effectively a black box, even to the programmers.

They ask a neural network to solve a problem; it tries repeatedly until it succeeds. The algorithm it arrives at is not necessarily sufficiently simple that a human could understand it, even given the source code.

The problem isn't just that Google won't tell the user how their software works; that's nothing new. The scary thing is that even Google doesn't understand how their software works; they just know that it does seem to work most of the time.

Hopefully I've misunderstood completely, and we're not entering an age of “the algorithm (that we don't fully understand but is extremely useful most of the time) says so, and we shouldn't question its authority”.
I agree that there's a risk of getting off into the weeds.

That being said, C Preprocessor behavior is pretty simple once you know it, and modern compilers are pretty good these days about helping you see what happens when you have an error in your macro-expanded code. You're right though, good to stick to the universally understood vocabulary.
No you did not. You just made a bunch of assertions.
While I'm not in the same situation as you, it has been interesting to watch my wife change into supermom since having our first kid. She has taken a 1 year maternity leave but with all the activities she does with the baby and the increased interest in cooking, cleaning, baking etc I have serious doubts that she'll want to return to work after the one year is over.
In the same month Facebook’s founding chairman, Sean Parker, criticised his former employer: “God only knows what it’s doing to our children’s brains,” he said.
The entire industry has been successfully writing programs that process "large amounts of data" and "complex software" in languages other than C for decades.
> There are many powerful organizations that would like access to that data.

It's not about access to the data, but rather about controlling the flow of information. The rise of social media and Google represents a shift of power away from traditional media (which Soros and his allies have a relatively higher degree of influence over) and to .. well, something else (I'm going going to pretend it's "the people", and it's not "the russians", either).
Adding to that, the new generation more often than not grew up with divorced parents. This kind of sets the precedent in the young males mind that marriage is not good if it turns sour, and that the "in good as in bad times until death do us part" is just completely meaningless babble.

Looking at my friends there's a pattern, a man who loses his job long term becomes divorced quite quickly. So there's no added safety for the man and no economic incentive (or even a disincentive, not sure how bad it really looks for men losing everything in court).
This by itself is a good enough reason for Apple to reject the app on grounds of protecting customer privacy.

Ah, ok, I'm starting to see a different perspective on helmet use: comparing cities rather than individuals in a city.

Perhaps the studies should differentiate these: i.e. comparing accident rates of helmets against non-helmets within each city individually, vs comparing e.g. non-helmet-users in Amsterdam against helmet-users in Berlin.

I live in Dublin which, as mentioned in the article, has recently seen marked improvements in cycle safety. Helmet usage here is high but under 50% and seems evenly distributed. I'd be curious to see the stats on what the means for accident rates local to here.

This has never happened to me in Europe, ever. It's an American thing. Also, in the US I can never properly enjoy a movie at the cinema because people are always talking or laughing.

That's factually not true, women rarely date down

To piggy-back on the other reply, since he went on recommending material for fundamental analysis, I'll go the other way and go on recommending material for technical analysis. If you're completely unfamiliar with the TA environment, I'd recommend heading over to https://www.babypips.com/learn/forex which is absolutely fantastic in your development of trading vocabulary.

After that, I would recommend reading Technical Analysis of the Financial Market by John Murphy, and books tailored to specific indicators (you can write me back if you wish and I can go more specific).

All the best!

Apparently Dutch intel had pretty deep access into the Russian systems. Going so far as even screenshotting people's faces as they appear on their security cameras.

Read this article; an in depth analasys directly from source.: https://www.volkskrant.nl/media/dutch-agencies-provide-cruci...

Seriously, everyone here will find this a fascinating read. It's almost like a thriller.

From the article:

Using so-called command and control servers, digital command centres, the Russians attempt to establish a connection to the malware in the Department, in order to request and transfer information. The Americans, having been told by the Dutch where the servers are, repeatedly and swiftly cut off access to these servers, followed each time by another attempt by the Russians. It goes back and forth like this for 24 hours. Afterwards, sources tell CNN that this was 'the worst hack attack ever' on the American government. The Department has to cut off access to the e-mail system for a whole weekend in order to upgrade the security.

Luckily, the NSA was able to find out the means and tactics of their attackers, deputy director of the NSA Richard Ledgett states at a discussion forum in Aspen in March 2017. 'So we could see how they were changing their methods. That's very useful information.' On the authority of intelligence services, American media write that this was thanks to a 'western ally'. Eventually, the Americans manage to dispel the Russians from the Department, but not before Russian attackers use their access to send an e-mail to a person in the White House.
So if I read the article correctly, the average American male has lost his job due to economic forces as well as gender equality, but it's also his fault and his responsibility to change. Seems fair.

We've developed a bit of a different style where I'm her 'safety net' for the things she still puts pressure on herself to do. Like washing/ironing and cooking. Cleaning has mainly been resolved and we do what's needed when needed. House organisation/upkeep is mine, all critical kids care is mine.

But everything else we pretty much just communicate with each other. That seems to have been the key to success so far.

I feel that I must point out that while most criminals remain citizens, this is not necessarily the case. In fact criminals (not suspects but convicted criminals) are not even guaranteed freedom from slavery as the thirteenth amendment specifically excepts criminals from its protections. There are actually a number of rights which are diminished by a criminal conviction.

I'm not saying it's right but it's the way it is right now.

I was able to fix my credit score in 30 days after a friend review me to the hacker he come across from a forum.I also write clear credit letter to my bank.Finally my credit score thankfully jumped back to 850 within 36-72 hours through the help of the ultimate hacker and my refinance was completed. What is scary about the whole thing is that i had successfully refinanced another property with no signs of an impending hit due to the late payment i passed on. This is why I urge you to check your credit score once a year to make sure there is no errors, especially if you are planning to refinance or take out a significant loan.So it was with great surprise through the hacker process that my credit score is now 850.you can also get yours done at darkwebcyberservice@gmail.com.
