Right - no group "within the bunds of Culture morality" is described closely anywhere. Everything Banks writes about revolves around the Contact or the fringe groups or other civilizations. We are left to imagination as to "the homeland", and my imagination makes me wary.
When white collar crime is normalized and only lightly punished when very rarely caught... why would anyone expect anything different? White collar crime causes far more economic damage and kills far more people every year than street crime does and this has been true for decades. But because society focuses on street crime and gives the upper class the benefit of the doubt and punishes them very lightly, white collar crime is normalized. It is very difficult to change a situation like this because taking a behavior which is viewed as normal in a social group and changing it do that it is viewed as deviance is not something we know how to reliably do.

This is a serious problem with no real clear solutions. We know that deterrence does not work, at least not in terms of making larger punishments and assuming that will reflect in fewer people committing the act. Certainty of getting caught is usually effective, but the monitoring of these sorts of markets would need to be done by exactly the people most likely to collude with violators. Until a person busted for insider trading or cutting corners on safety regulations or releasing products are earnestly made to feel ashamed and shunned by their intimate social group, I don't see much hope for change.
A myopic but quite profitable take on financial markets would be ms high-speed trading. It's actually much easier for analysts to get quarter by quarter financial information from companies' customer/supplier and frontrun the stooges who listen to earnings calls, but you don't have to guess at business fundamentals.

If you're buying from pure DD, you'd either better know something special about the targets financial situation, know some synergy or externality you can exploit, or know the business better than management (be careful, sijnce that's often only possible because their MBAs are ignorant). You're looking for a fool, and if you can't spot him, it's you.

Why are the P/Es of FANG so high? Because the market hopes they are monopolies.
London was recently faced with exactly that question: how to transport more people across the city efficiently without paying the astronomical sums required for either another Crossrail or an unthinkably damaging motorway.

The solution is in place now and is working. It’s the North-South and East-West Cycle Superhighways.

I remember seeing a concept video ages ago that touch on many the things that self-driving can change(from Audi I think).

I always think in a fully self-driving world there would be huge shifts in the real estate market, living further from your workplace/school won't be such a problem if the commute is easy and the time is consistent, but also in a way that is more convenient than public transportation, similar to how there's higher demand for living close to good transportation links.

Also, if the car can drive itself then you don't have to park it close to you when you don't need it, it can stay at a remote location while you work then "pick you up" when needed.

I also wonder if that could have any effect on car ownership, one of the biggest hassles of living just with uber is that it might just fail you when you need it, either because of surge pricing or lack of drivers, such as late hours or major events, if Uber eliminates the need for drivers it can deploy its fleet at 24 hours a day besides maintenance and therefore could guarantee it's users a minimum supply in a certain area at all times.

Then again, would Uber own those cars? Does it make sense for them to lease unutilized car time from owners similar to what people do with idle CPUs for crypto mining? Thus allowing owners to have some passive revenue.
I always understood it to be for interoperability with existing software targeting that runtime, but I'm not sure that was more than assumption.
It's kinda like everything Google does these days. They wow'd you 5-10 years ago, and now they've regressed. Look at Maps, it was better in 2010. Now? I have to second guess it at just about every freeway on-ramp.

Too bad this can be abused by marketing parasites.
Nope nothing is being done. I feel the patent office has got a little better (just adding on a computer doesn't make it novel thanks to the Supreme Court), but they are self funded (funded by fees), so if they're not issuing patents they won't make as much money and Will face a budget crunch.

The patent office is not held financially liable for issuing bad patents either. So in the end they're just going to keep issuing bad ones until the rules are changed.
That is actually a common argument with alcohol, that people who are exposed to it in moderation with supervision handle it better later on. Nobody argues that with cigarettes because it's rare to use them with any regularity and not get addicted.
What laws or regulations does it violate? It certainly isn't insider trading if you aren't an insider.

I found a massive zip file of ~3K skins somewhere. I’m selecting skins from that set.
Well one thing we could do is actually fund the uspto with more tax dollars instead of having like 99% of their budget come from fees. That the fees are higher for accepted patents creates some obvious conflicts of interest.

Good luck getting any politician to push for that.

>At what point would you need the implementation details of any of these to write code?

...literally any time you are performing a computation on a collection of items and care even the least bit about performance?

It sounds like your bar for what makes "excellent code" simply excludes performance issues completely. That's fine if you're talking about scrappy startup devs who move from MVP to MVP. But when it comes time to turn an MVP into an honest-to-goodness P, you can't totally ignore the efficiency of your code. And you can't write efficient code without understanding the basic strengths and weaknesses of the data structures your programming language implements.
That's minification. The actual source code almost certainly does `if (a) { ... }`, but the minifier will shorten that into `a&&...`, thereby saving multiple bytes. Accumulate this over different if-clauses, and you're looking at serious savings.
We're saying the same thing. You missed the "not" in my sentence. :)
Possible if the 3rd party script is versioned.

Not for user-written code, but most websites run their Javascript through tools to condense it so that the download size is smaller.
I've been doing React for a couple years now, but for the past couple days I've been watching some videos and reading up on Vuej.

The thing that I will always hate about Vuej (and other/most frameworks) are templating engines (aka string code in attributes). That's always going to be a code smell to me.

That said, I can see the appeal to Vuej. There's a very gentle migration path to Vuej. It's much more natural just to use ES5 with Vuej than with React.

Vuej like most "frameworks" is opinionated about the rest of the pieces of the puzzle - routing, state management, etc. React is very a la carte in that regards. State management is still a complete mess in the React world.

I'll probably have to try a small project or two in Vuej. The tooling in VSCode seems to be decent these days.
Regular cars are already being tracked. Real-time license plate scanning is a solved problem.

You're probably more anonymous buying a bus ticket with cash than driving your car.
Except for the notion of inalienable individual rights. One of the hallmarks of the US form of democracy is that government is NOT the greatest power. Its power is limited and must protect the individual rights of its constituents (people and states in some contexts).
Ok, I think I get it now.

I never touch naked options, From what you described

1. You get paid the price/premium for selling options (call/put).

2. Selling naked put

3. Selling naked call

Is that right?

I was thinking about debit/credit spreads options, so broker won't lock up $156.41 * 100 * X amount for the options period (e.g $15641 in your previous comment)
The right answer is to specify a HMAC when serving js from third parties.

CSP/SRI already enables this.

Ideally you should be able to serve content from your own domain + specify the hash, and let browsers optimize things by re-using cached content from another domain. There’s no easy/standardized way of doing that today.
Surely the "clean" way to return multiple values from a function is to support returning a tuple. The methods positional parameters already essentially constitute a tuple argument.

Such structural grouping of values however went against OOP dogma at the time, which dictated that every type must have a name. Even after generics were introduced into Java, Sun refused to add even a pair class to the JDK (IMHO the bug report was amusing reading). Perhaps they were also similarly opposed to C#'s features?

> Claiming any of this is even near human translation levels is misleading at best

Oh, got it. The issue is that Google is misrepresenting it's translate service as an 'end-all-be-all'. Yes, I would agree with that.

But as Hackers, we should know better than to think that it could ever be such, given that it is just a text-entry box. NLP needs a lot of context that a text box can never have.
Assuming "hard" self-driving...

Education: more kids "driving" themselves to school. There's an age where a kid could be trusted to walk alone, but not ready to "drive" there. Get in car, car takes kid to school & back. The one thing stopping my kids from going to a preferred school is we can't drive 'em there at that time; give me a trustworthy car and I'll let it take them there.

Play: like above, parents will be more likely to let the kid travel a non-trivial, non-walkable distance to play with friends. No longer bound by parental availability, parents can just authorize the kid to get in and be taken somewhere.

Parking: there will be a "Napster"-type stage of anarchy where self-driving cars won't park, they'll just slowly roam around until the owner calls it back. I've spent a whole day in NYC driving in circles (while the family enjoyed scenic stops) in lieu of finding & paying for expensive parking; would be nice to just get out and let the car wander, using roads as "parking in motion". This will lead to legislation & new solutions requiring aimless vehicles to actually get off the roads, albeit into more compact storage.

Tourism: lots of people dislike dealing with taxis. I'd certainly be more comfortable with an automated "pick your destination on a map" UI, evolution of getting rid of elevator operators.

Travel: huge hit on travel industry. My family rarely flies anywhere, opting instead for painful overnight 1000+ mile drives. Many people will be far more likely to do such trips when they can get on a major long-haul freeway and completely ignore the driving process. No more trying to stay awake on a boring overnight drive, just doze off completely, waking up only for refueling or nearing destination. I'll happily drive the complex parts at start/end, but it's that 700 mile stretch that's agonizing as driver.

Housing: longer commutes will be more tolerable. I will live in an acre+ site, and let the car deal with traffic while reading/working/napping. So long as I can ignore the commute, I'll put up with a much longer one.

I'm not so familiar with Vue (coming from jQuery -> Backbone -> Angular 1 -> React) but I know there are different ways to write components in Vue (including classes and JSX). Well, it's the first time I saw the style they chose and it looks awful. It seems like Backbone but with everything in a single JS object. A component as a configuration file. Maybe it makes sense for Backend people? (familiarities with defining systems in json, yaml, dockerfile, etc)

It wants organisation access. Simply put, that's not my call to make. Can you remove that or make it optional?
So I think the insight here is that, as with everything, it can only scale so far.

Here's a question though: is it easier to build a new underground tunnel now compared to 100(?) years ago? While previously there was a lot less existing infrastructure to have to worry about disturbing, these days we have a lot more advanced technology to make the process easier.
Almost all of the people that I've met that read LYAH (including myself) could hardly even write trivial projects in haskell upon finishing it. this is in my book (heh) a failure and why i recommend people to avoid LYAH. If you finish HPFFP you have everything you need to be productive and contribute to a production code base.

If you learned Haskell using LYAH and you could write non-trivial software in Haskell right after finishing it - I'm very happy for you. But know that you are in the minority from what i got to witness.
cornholio brings up a really good point. The fact that Whatsapp and other messaging apps have significant more European marketshare and growth rates than in other parts of the world could make an EU regulation's effect felt around the world, much like the USB one.
So you think it’s a good idea for employees to go to the board with a position out of sync with management and bypass the management chain?

I’ve never seen any place in business, non-profit or government where that was a scenario that would benefit the employee unless the employee was very politically savvy, was in a very senior position and had special circumstances (past relationships, etc)
The reason why lots of the finance industry is about managed funds is that they can create more money for themselves from charging clients fees than they can from investing their own money in index funds.

I don't feel like circumventing the WSJ paywall, so I haven't read the article. But, I do know a bit about the flu virus. I'm annoyed they refer to 'killing' the virus since the virus isn't alive and its activity is not the primary destructive issue. Over-reaction of our immune system is the vast majority of what makes people feel sick and kills them. Cytokine storms cause "flu like symptoms" and it's why so many diseases begin with them. It's not cell damage caused by cells invaded with flu virus exploding into a spray of new viral particles. That does little on its own.

For years, though, people have been working on a vaccine or similar which can cause the immune system to target the virus itself rather than its 'shell' which evolves quickly and plays little role in its harm (although it may play a role in its infectivity since we see different levels of spread of different strains who differ almost entirely in the structure of their capsid). That doesn't sound like a 'pill that will kill the flu in a day' though. The only thing I can imagine is that such a pill would be a immunosuppressant that prevents the cytokine storm that makes you feel sick while (I would hope) preserving enough immune function to actually eliminate the viral particles?
You see the same thing with humans on the manufacturing line with bugs in the process they're following.
C# and Java. From Open Source standpoint and with Android adoption Java was/is ahead. However, things are changing again. Oracle has announced that they will give free support to Java releases only for six months. It makes JVM a risky, unstable and potentially unsafe platform to develop on. On the other hand, MS is putting a lot of effort to make C# open and to make it run on all platforms.

Both the languages and platforms are very good. But right now there is more influential OSS (HBase, Cassandra, Kafka and many others) stuff in Java. However, I wonder with Oracle's new stance, if C# will become the preferred language for Open Source. Or Maybe Go will leave both Java and C# behind.
Alas, I needed finer grain control over the marquee behavior (scroll character by character, pause the scrolling, etc), so I had to implement it in JS.
I suppose what I had in mind was akin to the following practical example, say a technical question asked on Stack Overflow. When the submitter can't reliably or efficiently anonymize the accompanying data [which would risk reveal the submitter's anonymity and compromise data], the submitter does not have any choice but anonymizes both the identity _and_ the data, which probably results in a sub-optimal exchange.

Imagine that you can effectively anonymize the dataset, I think one can think of circumstances where this could lead to a more effective communication as to provide further information (e.g., submitter's domain familiarity, language experience, resource constraints) and context (e.g., is this a standard practice) instead of fishing for more clarification in an iterative, and therefore less efficient, fashion.
Exactly! I think the OP talking about emotional abuse is confusing actual emotional abuse with the simple absence of a well-developed cognitive structure, and the problems that arise when parents lacking this structure try to raise kids of their own.

If a parent could give their kid an exact copy of their good/bad mapping for the world, the result wouldn't be a copy of a well-adjusted parent. The result would be a child who, at best, is able to function one step from their own reality without too much chaos. But I think it's more likely they would lose their footing somewhere around college and go off the rails, an increasingly necessary process it seems. Hopefully they have enough self-awareness left at that point to figure out how to exist in their world, finally in their own way.

No, the whole resolution pushing thing is just a part of the push to make consumers buy more shit.

It's no longer sufficient to produce a good product and then make money off of return maintenance and replacement sales, you have to force consumers to buy the same product repeatedly in ever shorter intervals.

So instead of dropping a product with major innovations and improvements, you give the product a tiny spec bump every six months and then hard sell it like it's going to cure the wanton desire of the human ego.
Incorrect. Whatsapp refuses to open on my iPad and isn't even available in the App Store. The only reason it got on there was a glitch in Apple's app sync which must've auto-downloaded it since I have it on my iPhone.

Netflix should make it clear what the resolution of your current video is. I like to see the detail of the video playback.

Like you, I paid for the HD membership assuming that I'd get 1080p video in Firefox but I subsequently discovered that Firefox is only given a maximum of 720p. I see in this thread there's a Firefox version of the extension so I'll try that.

If I watch Netflix in Safari I get 1080p video and I've been using Safari exclusively for Netflix because of this. Here's the Netflix system requirements page where they outline the maximum resolution for each browser:

https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742

You can also see the details of your currently playing video by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Alt+D (and press again to dismiss it). It'd be nicer of Netflix if they made this information accessible via a menu item rather than an obscure keyboard shortcut.
Just FYI your complaint is literally that you can't panic fast enough. Some would advise you not to sell during a panic correction.
In the case of generics, C# got them right (but required changes to CLR 2.0) and then Java tried to copy the idea (without requiring any changes to the JVM) but fucked them up. Look up "type erasure": Java's underlying compiled classes weren't actually generic, and generics compiled down to "Object" and casts (which are less efficient, and can be subverted at runtime). Generics were implemented by the Java compiler, not the JVM runtime.

I think the law distinguishes between an end-user accessing map data and transferring the whole data overseas. But as you pointed out, that's not really a meaningful distinction. Anybody who's interested in a particular place in Korea (be it CIA or North Korea) can simply visit map.naver.com or buy commercially available satellite photos.
Funny thing. After all these year it actually seems like Java now has the upper hand.

It is an open platform. You are just as productive as a developer on Unix and Mac OS X as you are on Windows. The "toolchain" with things like Maven, build and dependency management, is well-defined and not buggled into a big IDE like it is on C#.

Deploying on Unix is a standard thing, not an experimental feature. And finally there is Android.

Sure Java as a langage is more conservative but the differences are not that big. And there are alternatives like Scala or Kotlin for those want and they seem to be a minority.
Not a stupid question, it's actually a common one.

The answer is that only the C in CO2 comes from gas, the O2 comes from the air.
You are discounting the effort required to find the position of these few lines of code among what I assume are many thousands.
It’s similar. If I remember the CCN playbook correctly, it was about taking over one of your JS dependencies via npm. This is about cross hosted JS, loading remote code.
Yeah that's what my experiences have been too. It's one thing to feel like you understand Haskell after finishing LYAH; it's another to actually understand it.
