That's called a "dollar auction" and it works because the rules are such that the 2nd highest bid still has to pay the money they bid, even though they won't get the prize. Given that incentive structure, it is cheaper for you to pay $21 for a $20 (and lose $1), rather than being the 2nd higher bid at $19, and lose the entire $19.

It is meant as an introduction to other occurrences in peoples lives, where they invest something that they will lose if they abandon the activity. Being on hold is one such example, where you lose the time you've invested in being on hold, if you give up and hang up the call before it's connected. Thus you end up in a situation where you are somewhat trapped.

I'm not from the USA, nor am I ignorant of history. I used the present tense, because I'm talking of modern times. You cannot judge countries in the past by today's standards. Things were just different then.

You also should not say that the US prefers dictators, I don't think that's ever been true. But sometimes they see it as the lesser evil when the populace would go against US interests - which is certainly hypocritical.
Picking the bit you like makes it hard to reason about how secure that is. It could be your preferences are much narrower than you realise. If you're going for something you find aesthetically pleasing or memorable then that's probably going to seriously limit password entropy. On the other hand if you're trying to pick something that "looks random" then you should know humans are terrible at that.

> thickphones with batteries that last for days are not.

Point me to a recent one with a recent build of Android that receives regular security updates from a reputable builder and I'll buy it immediately. I'd line up outside a building like it was Black Friday to buy a Galaxy 8 or Pixel 2 with an integrated 10000mAh battery.

But, alas, this magical unicorn "thickphone" doesn't exist on the market, even if some random Chinese manufacturer that will be gone tomorrow makes one with a four year old SoC and a three year old build of Android with no security updates since the phone's release two years ago...
ok, the real answer is "seems slightly" but hey, the other way sounds better. :)
I largely agree with you, it was more of a question for those who believe labor economics should act like traditional market economics. You have pointed out the key difference as there isn't perfect information in labor economics like there is in market economics.

I don't have quantitative evidence, but I do feel there was a cultural shift in the 1970s-80s in the corporate world. "shareholder value" became the dominant view of what companies were for (rather than say, social value), activities that most corporate leaders would have been ashamed of in the past -
extremely high compensation relative to their employees (100x or more), layoffs to cut costs even when profitable, etc. - became acceptable or even sources of pride.

I believe it may be related to a broader cultural shift towards individualism (see, e.g. http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674064362)
You're generally right. Total comp has increased, not stagnated, but only because employers have shifted compensation from wages to benefits (like healthcare). Companies don't pay payroll taxes on those, so I assume they like this arrangement, even though it causes all sorts of problems when you couple job + healthcare.

Healthcare is the new company car.

107hp = 79 kilowatts. No 3 kilowatts of solar panels will not help, they might be able to run the overhead air conditioner and fridge that's about it.

228ah at say 375v like a Tesla pack is 85kw/h not bad, would take 29 hours of full sun with 3kw of panels to charge.

Range might be 100 miles if your lucky, it probably takes 50-75hp just to keep that thing at highways speeds on flat ground. 107hp probably won't get it up a mountain.

I just got a LinkedIn invite trying to tempt me with a contracting gig at my current employer, whose name was also miscapitalized.

Some time ago I created a fake LinkedIn profile with a bogus name and no work description (except currently employed as a senior software engineer at a local company). I got recruiter spam exactly like my personal LinkedIn account, which has actual experience listed from an old copy of my resume.

LinkedIn is trash. I don't even know why I still keep my profile up.

It could also be that Rust exposes more information that can be used to optimize the code it generates to LLVM. Its explicitness makes for a very complete depiction of dependencies and side effects.
It's true that it's supply and demand problem. However, I noticed that problem #1 is much more acute in online dating than in real life. I personally had much greater success in real life dating than online dating. It's strange since online dating supposed to make dating easier, not harder!

There should be a way to discourage quantitative behaviour (i.e. when you play statistics game) and encourage qualitative behaviour (i.e. when you are more focused on speaking with less people).

In other words, in real life, you don't try to talk with 100 women in one evening. However, it's cheap in online dating to spam many people.

So online dating should be closer to real life.

It should be more expensive to reach and even like more people in short timeframe. On the other hand, somehow we should guarantee that pictures (and probably video) should give maximum of information about appearance. It should be encouraged to provide as many high quality pictures as possible.

This is very very good news.

As a heavy Signal user, from where I sit I personally see the following clear needs:

-Better group support. Right now, to do a group in Signal you have to name the group, which makes it kind of a pain to create ad hoc quick groups. I'm forever naming them "John Sue Bill" or "Jane Roger Amanda". iMessage, by contrast, just automatically makes a group without a name. You get a thread for that group, so you can follow the discussion clearly, and you can leave the group, but it hides the nuts and bolts of the fact that a group has been formed. Also, Signal has no per-group notification settings, so if you're in a "noisy" group your only option is to turn off notifications universally (including one-on-one messages and other groups) or live with it. Lastly, you cannot form a group from Signal Desktop.

-Better support for long messages (or a new product using the same network and security). Signal was clearly designed for short session lengths — brief messages that are composed quickly. But as it has become the catch-all app for encrypted comms — "just use Signal! PGP email sucks!" — many people, at least that I deal with, are trying to use it for email-type purposes. Long messages with arbitrary attachments. It would be nice if, like, putting a line break in a long message didn't mean hitting Control-Enter or Command-Enter. It might even be nice if you could have multiple threads with the same recipient. You know, like email. I am not holding my breath on this one. But if people could email as securely as they chat, using Signal protocol, it would be a huge leap forward in keeping the NSA out of our business. Not to mention Google/Gmail's ad clients etc.

-Ability to search. I can't full-text search my messages, even within Signal. As I use it more and more, this is a hindrance.

-Group video chat. This is very pie in the sky. But a lot of sensitive comms involve groups — think of people organizing a protest, or a corporate takeover, etc. And right now there are few private options.
As the parent said, globalization seems to be the other factor.

I'm disappointed that Intel is getting all the attention here.

ARM64 chips like A72 have meltdown/spectre issues too. Chips like the ones the current lineup of ARM Chromebooks. Nobody is backporting Meltdown fixes to kernel before 4.16(?)[1], Google isn't updating Chrome OS kernel from 4.4 for these Rockchip devices, and that's because the closed source Mali GPU drivers only work on a fixed kernel version: 4.4. Furthermore, a kernel update isn't sufficient, there needs to be an update to the firmware too.[2] I suspect this means the chromebook must be opened, and a write protect screw will need to be removed to flash a new read only BIOS.

Intel has 32[3] separate class action lawsuits over this issue. AFAIK, nothing is happening to the companies selling broken hardware, with no fix, or plans to fix.

Very disappointed.

Though given the extraordinary profitability of companies right now, surely not the only factor. Some of those profits could be redistributed to workers. Not sure how to do that without potentially causing damage though.
That looks like a decent tool but I wonder about its use case. The passwords are far too long to be entered on anything without a dedicated keyboard and you'd not want to be typing them in too often.

Sure, there are some use cases that fit but there's many more that don't.

NATO planes enforced a UN resolution for the enforcement of a no-fly zone over Libya during its civil war because the Libyan government forces were attacking civilian targets. Both Russia and China had unilateral veto power over that order and declined to do so. UN Security Council Resolution 1970 (condemning Libya for war crimes, creating sanctions, and referring them to the ICC) passed unanimously, and UNSC R 1973 (establishing the no-fly zone) passed with 10 votes for and 5 votes abstaining.
>It's fun to heap criticism on China's research. There's too many fraudulent results, as a culture they don't value out of the box thinking, ect. That kind of thinking hurts us, not China.

You'll have to explain how being critical of fraudulent results "hurts us, not China", unless you're implying the criticism isn't valid, but from what I've read it's a very real concern in research coming from China.
> Am I supposed to be enraged that there exists a job-site that is cutting every corner, a casino is being used for money laundering by the Chinese elite and politicians are probably making money in unethical ways as a result?

Um... yes? Do you think killing workers, money laundering and corruption are OK?
As far as I'm concerned writing passwords in a notebook in a draw or something is fine. The easily guessable part not so much. If someone has physical access to your computer in the first place there's lots of things they could do.
It's especially infuriating what they did to Altered Carbon when you consider how much of the changes do not add anything to the adaptation (although a very few were improvements, like Poe); quite the reverse. They also completely castrated the books' political message - especially when it came to religion, and to a lower extent anti-capitalism/centralization.

That being said, I imagine it still makes for a watchable show for someone that knows nothing about the books.

In any case, I love both series and I pray dearly they don't fuck up the Culture adaptation.
Because it was always about class warfare, and as W Buffett said, the rich are winning. Just how they promised us the industrial revolution would, but instead the rich gobbled up all the profits while starting the workers which led to the Era of robber barons. Anyone who thinks the information or automation revolution isn't going to result in the same thing unless we change fundamental business practice is in for a rough surprise.
Yes, all good points. Although I think (hope?) the policies of Trump are not representative of past or future US policy.

Nobody, group, or nation is all good or bad, it's always somewhere on a slider between the two. China does many admirable things that the US would do well to follow. But I think it's also clear that the US ranks better on that sliding scale.
"they have become more capable of acting out that preference" is exactly the key point of such discussion - with increased automation, companies need more capital and less labor.

This means that the labor (ordinary workers) gets less leverage and capital (owners/managers) get more leverage, i.e., increased ability to ensure that they get a larger share of the pie.

The ancient dictator needed his slaves to work to build his pyramids. The feudal lord needed his serfs to work his fields. They needed to ensure that they are kept from rebelling but also can live well enough so that their numbers (and thus the lords' power) increase.

The industrial capitalist needs to keep the working class somewhat satisfied (bread and circuses?) - they are absolutely vital to his needs, and if they self-organize and start striking, he loses.

However, in the far future when everything is automated, whoever controls the means of production doesn't need the underclass in any way whatsoever. They may care about their community, but letting the underclass to starve or machinegunning them isn't an impossible "solution" anymore. Neither the slaver, nor the feudal lord, nor the industrialist could afford to eliminate everyone who's discontent, even if they physically could do so after crushing a rebellion - they needed their labor. In the future, that won't be the case; the only thing preventing a ruling regime having their robot army slaughter the unneccessariat is if they choose not to do so and choose to share the wealth instead.

REST & GraphQL are ways to structure the interface of your API. Http is a transport. You can implement REST or graphQL over http.

GraphQL is a language not an implementation. Nowhere does it even say graphQL must use http, let alone POST. You can send a graphQL query with a GET request & cache it just fine.

In addition, graphQL's introspection system makes it super easy to write clients that do complex cache manipulation, like optimistic updates & a variety of cache invalidation / refetching patterns.

Signal's use of SGX was to increase users' trust in Signal - OpenWhisperSystems couldn't log your contacts even if they wanted to.

Yeah, browser integration is critical. That’s why IPFS has focused on the JS implementation.

One nuance - these p2p protocols are not as simple as HTTP, FTP, etc. They require persistent connections to many peers and significant local storage. This eats up more local resources, to the point where making in default-on might cause significant performance hit.

Regarding the SGX enclave and contacting sharing, the blog post announcement dated 26 Sept 2017 says 'deploying into production...over the next few months'. Can we assume that's happened already? Or are contacts still being exchanged in a way that would allow a middle man to reconstruct an individual's social graph?
Generally very good but mixing button/non-button style is a dark pattern that should be avoided.

If you have 3 alternative actions and one looks like a button, why don’t the other two? It is actually very easy to miss at least one option that way, or otherwise make a mistake.

The phone network can do that just by correlating traffic to devices, it doesn't need any help from the software running on those devices.

If the target use case was people that could reasonably do the job of limiting the information just the use of their devices leaked, it might matter. But the target use case is replacing SMS and the like, so it really doesn't matter (except that people want to pretend that the use case is something other than replacing SMS).

Yes! You've got it! That's exactly what the article says!

That's why I mentioned cultural norms, I really don't know how many of those Americans really want to lose weight, but it's clearly not a reflection of typical human capacity for self control.

There are many other nations that reached comparable prosperity and food abundance at similar times, yet don't have even comparable obesity rates. An extreme case is Japan, at 3.5% obesity rate maintained largely though willpower and cultural norms, by literally firing those that are too fat, or in any case applying strong social pressure and mandatory counseling.
I came here to post something similar to this. I have seen this happen many times on open source projects, and it is especially depressing for the person who volunteered to write the patch. Going back and forth many times over several months to make small adjustments to your code and never having it committed is very demoralizing.

I don't know what the solution is, and it is probably just an inherit flaw with volunteer-run open source projects. Without someone being paid to get the bug count down it's easy for bugs like this to get forgotten about.

I think you are misusing the term "perfect information." In this case, chess is a real world game where both players have perfect information. That is, neither player can keep a secret of where any of the pieces have moved.

So, the complexities of how the AI is taught to interact ultimately don't matter. It may have a lot of effort to parse the visual of the board to get the perfect information, but the game is defined as one of perfect information.

Wikipedia calls out that there does not seem to be consensus on what this term means for games with chance or concurrent play. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_information
Is it just me or do the examples in the article look like they were copied from common websites? To me it is just a grab-bag of things I've seen before.

I have to admit that when I say "Europe", I'm talking about Spain where I lived for 4 years, and a few other countries I've visited over the years.

It's smallish by American standards, of course, but not insanely so. And you can't hear anyone else. It's a real home.
