Countries with good rehabilitation also do this, certain types of sexual crimes have high recidivism rates despite the best efforts. There's rehabilitation and there's realism and protecting the public, there's a balance.

On my local Nextdoor someone posted recently about a trial being finished and warning that his wife had been sexually assaulted in a nearby area. The actual newspaper story was a little heart-breaking, on the one hand the guy clearly had been trying to improve and felt remorse, on the other he's a menace to women, he literally walked up to the women and put his hand up her skirt.

Not true, it's very misleading - makes you believe the method is defined inside class body.

Also with functions you know they can't access private members, with extension methods you confuse them with real methods and have to think they can.

If you were expecting anything more than Google trying to k-anonymize your datasets, you will be disappointed.

“K-anonymity was born out of a desire both to quantify the re-identifiability of a dataset, and to balance the usefulness of de-identified people data and the privacy of the people whose data is being used.”

Researchers have also shown recently that many high-dimensional datasets (mobile phone metadata, online ratings, etc.) cannot be de-identified without loosing all their utility [1, 2, 3]. In that case, there is no distinction between quasi-identifiers and sensitive data. All the information in the dataset can be used to identify an individual. De-identification algorithms such as the one used here make strong assumptions that the data collector knows which information can and cannot be used to re-identify individuals.

Bodhi Linux. http://www.bodhilinux.com/

It's sort of minimal. It's a derivative of Ubuntu which means it's not Red Hat.

It uses Moksha for a desktop, which is a continuation of Enlightenment 17. You can read about Moksha here: http://www.bodhilinux.com/2015/04/28/introducing-the-moksha-...

I use it because it's not annoying; it mostly works; I didn't have to fuck about to get it working; it's sort of minimal; it uses sensible defaults; I like the philosophy; I had a bad experience with Fedora and so I avoid anything red hat.

Bailing out homeowners is done with loan modifications not 0% interest rates. HAMP was the closest thing we got to that but even that was done as a gift to the banks (Google for "HAMP foaming the runway" for deets).

A lot of homeowners did well out of low interest rates, but that was incidental. A lot also lost their homes and were rendered homeless. Under HAMP some home owners had their homes stolen from them - they were directed to go in to arrears in order to qualify for HAMP and after the bait and switch they were foreclosed upon.

In other countries fraud like that gets you sent to prison.

Ask HN: How terrible is technical writing?
I have a background in linguistics/literature and been to a few job interviews for a position in technical writing. My impression is that

- a not insignificant part of the job consists of running after the developers and letting them explain to you how their software works or at least to furnish you with further information or explanations. Also, you have to cultivate a sense of when to ask them, when to interrupt their work, and who to ask for what.

- developers don't care too much about the technical documentation and view it rather as a nuisance.

- in the general hierarchy you are quite low, which is probably understandable given the nature of the task. But you are also somewhat of an outsider among a majority of people who have studied computer science.

- only a fraction of the work consists of autonomous tasks. A large part of the time you operate at the intersection of variable often quickly changing circumstances which you have to structure by almost constant interaction.

- in the world of standardization, established stylesheets, translation-friendly texts there is not much room for creative solutions.

How accurate are these vague generalizations?

Laptop (x230)/Steambox+htpc(HP8300+GF1050): ElementaryOS - Looks nice, AppStore with native only-programs, Ubuntu underneath so I can find a lot of programs/information online in case of any problems, everything works mostly out-of-the-box

Desktop/Homeserver/VPS: VoidLinux + DWM(only on desktop ;)) - Simple (runit as init system, no default logging daemon [I'm using socklog on servers], LibreSSL), cutting edge and not bloated

Work: Ubuntu Mate LTS + ArchLinux in chroot - Ubuntu Mate - same reasons as with elementary on my laptop :)
ArchLinux in chroot - cutting edge, AUR with everything and because it's a chroot I can easily snapshot/share/move my development environment, lot of information/solutions out there

I also use:

Alpine - containers with weird things[LXC] on home server - small(almost nothing inside ;)), LibreSSL

Analytics analyze. They read data. Mixpanel decided to read more than they should, and they unintentionally slurped some passwords.

The core technical problem is that scripts can read data. But that's kind of their job. "Solving" that would require to reduce the functionality of webpages.

The core social problem is that people include third-party analytics and advertisements. Solving that would require to destroy the entire adtech industry.

I'm all for the latter solution.

Resolume Arena 6.0.4 Full Version Crack for [Mac+Win]
I think we will see a bigger correction very soon. Markets crash periodically and we haven't had a crash for a while now. A periodic crash is not uncommon and actually makes a lot of sense when you think about the high level picture of what really goes on in stock markets. Stock markets are essentially dominated by greed (to get a higher ROI from stocks than through more traditional ways) and this greed leads to an increasing over valuation of assets over a period of time (multiple years). At some point the over valuation is so big that it becomes very visible to investors, at which point they get cold feet and start selling, and then... boom.

The markets drop to the point where the majority of investors agrees that the current valuation matches the expected ROI again and therefore stop further selling. After a couple years of conservative trading the markets return to become slightly more optimistic again and the game starts from scratch again.

It is a natural cycle and nothing we can do to change, just embrace a crash every 10-20 years or so...

My family and I have also had great experience with Honda over the years, specifically Civic, CR-V and Fit. The reliability is extraordinary anecdotally and then 4-5 years ago (haven't checked since) it was top rated by those industry reliability ranking surveys, JD Power I believe. Not sure how reliable those studies are or what the current state is now. Also the prices of Honda seem to have been creeping up over the years, especially CR-V so it's hard to actually give a real full life cost answer, you could get lucky with a cheaper upfront car. If you value your time though get something that has a proven record for being reliable.

> if the NFP comes out about X we sell, if it comes out below X we buy

The stock market works on supply and demand. For every seller, there needs to be a buyer. Let's assume that TSLA stock changes hands at a rate of 10k shares per day on average. The NFP report could cause a number of potential buyers to decide to hold off on buying. Assuming the sell interest is constant, this would likely result in a price drop. So no one has to actively buy/sell on the data in the NFP report (although some people might do that). If the NFP report causes buyers to stay home, prices will go down, and if it causes sellers to sit on their stock, prices can go up.

And of course this greatly oversimplifies reality. In any given day there are probably a number of different factors influencing sellers and buyers. Some people might be selling/buying to rebalance a portfolio. Some might be buying for their 401k. Some might be selling to cash out employee stock options. Some might be daytrading on the NFP report. And the movement in price is largely just a result of any aggregate imbalance between supply and demand. For me personally, I have stopped buying stock because I think the market is too overvalued right now. I know a few others how have stopped as well. As more people do this, the 'buy side' gets thinner increasing the odds of a drop.

Saving money is an illusion. The government can't just put your pension contributions into a savings account and withdraw it decades in the future. It must use the contributions of current workers to pay the pensions of current retirees.

Food doesn't last forever. If you buy food in your 40s the food is no longer edible in your 60s.
If you don't buy food and instead choose to save your money the food is still going to rot away.
You now have money but no food. As a retiree you are dependent on the current working generation to work for your food.

What are you basing that last paragraph on? It's my website, I'll damn well deny access to anyone I please.
> I think your view of the GDPR is naive. 99% of people will just consent and that’ll be that. The second they want something the site offers and they have to register (the point at which they’re handing over PII), they’ll be forced to consent, and just like everyone does for cookies and TOS and privacy policy and whatever else, they’ll quickly be trained to consent and move on

You're wrong.

You see, the "Cookie Law" was a test. Can a gentle legal nudge make the web self-regulate into respecting its users? It turned out that no, it can't. Remember, you only have to show a cookie warning if you're doing something inherently user-hostile. That almost every site has one only shows how little anyone cares. Well, the gloves are off, GDPR is the next iteration, designed to make people care. If you're doing something shady, GDPR will make you explain, in points, how exactly are you going to fuck the user over, and make you request explicit consent for each single fuckery you want to do - and does not let you make the service conditional on the user bending over. The user is supposed to be able to tell "no" to everything and still use the service.

Whatever pains this creates for businesses on-line, frankly, it's deserved.

stock markets are dominated by greed

Greed is "an inordinate or insatiable longing for unneeded excess". I doubt one can show that this is what drives the stock market.

What we probably can agree on is that the stock market is driven by the actions of many actors who try to maximise the utility value of the assets under their control.

an increasing over valuation of assets

We cannot show that assets are overvalued at any time. The value of an asset is very different to every actor. Everybody puts different expectations into the assets they control.

Even if we apply some 'simple' mathematical definition like the NPV of future returns, we could not say if an asset is overvalued in regards to that. Because the future returns are unkown. And we cannot say in hindsight either. Because the value of an asset is a statistical function of possible future outcomes. So the actual outcome does not tell us what the statistical function looked like.

I looked into geothermal energy while going to school for renewable energy. What surprised me at the time, even though it's quite obvious now in hindsight, is how much of the geothermal industry is actually controlled by the large oil/gas extraction companies. As fossil fuels become more scarce, oil and gas extraction has required going deeper and deeper into the earth's crust to reach elusive reserves, and as you drill deeper into the earth the hotter everything gets. This means of course that oil/gas extraction companies are best positioned to transition and apply existing extraction technology into geothermal energy projects.

An enhanced geothermal system (EGS), as mentioned in the article, is essentially a fracking project implemented to geothermal systems.

This was a disappointing conclusion to my younger idealist self for some reason. As a comparison, solar power is not as reliant on previously developed R&D, and has made it possible for a number of newcomers into the solar energy industry.

EDIT: To circle back to what this article was saying, I think the reason geothermal energy has been quiet is because the players in that space don't need attention (read funding). If it's profitable, the people who will implement these systems have the finances and manpower to do it. The geothermal industry is by no means a 'David vs. Goliath' game.
Regarding the very long run, people forget survivor bias. For instance, in the early 20th century, you would have had the choice to invest in three equally promising emerging markets: Argentina, Russia, and the USA. One of those went on to grow for over a century, the other two not so much.
