Whether you take issue or not is irrelevant. It works, or it wouldn't be done. The real world sucks. I mean it's the same reason we are still, in 2018, using JavaScript for large application development. Best just get used to it.
aws has made infrastructure easily accessible to many without large outlay of capital, but with capabilities comparable (or even exceed) to any physical infrastructure you can buy.

this has made software services much easier to sell. in a world without AWS, only monied interests can hope to bring a service in any scale. even in the face of vendor login, AWS has increased the democracy of starting a new business.
Wait... I can't be the only one thinking "these are humans?"
I think there's a lot to be said for how helpless the average worker is in the modern economy. Part of it isn't just the absolute conditions of modern people, but the knowledge and zeitgeist that people have now. The concept of the "American Dream" isn't dead, but it's becoming increasingly reserved for only a small subset of people with specific backgrounds and skills. People that aren't, for lack of a better word, special simply aren't going to make it big; more importantly, even if this has always been the case, people now know that about themselves.

People born in poverty look to lottery tickets, both literally and in the form of risky activities like gang activities and becoming professional sports players (which is risky relative to what else you could accomplish given the same amount of effort). They typically don't have access to education, or benefit from stable households, enough to break out. Middle class people don't realistically have a chance of becoming wealthy unless they're unusually smart or socially skilled. Neither group has the means to fix this situation politically or culturally because very wealthy people control politics and culture (or at the very least, all the important parts). Most modern success stories are essentially an upper-middle class person rising to the lower-upper class.

I think we need a new frontier. Maybe that's just a substitute for a lottery ticket, but it's a lottery ticket with much better odds.

I didn't doubt that; I just felt that the OP made it sound like doing a UK CS degree would mean only studying pure CS, which is overstating things somewhat so wanted to clarify. You aren't necessarily going to be picking classes from across the university to fulfill generic requirements (if nothing else, you don't really have the time to do so), but it's not hyperfocused either.

Yeah, totally get what you're saying, but unfortunately people's behavior and perception of the product is different when something is on mobile, especially with an online matching service. Tinder was able to break down the stigma of online dating because they were on mobile only. I'm hoping We3 will be able to break that stigma for friendship matching.

I've responded to the GP about how the US study cited is misleading, but the graph here seems to be worse, as it seems to simply misrepresent the data in the cited source, "Goos, Manning, Salomons (2014; Table 2)". Looking in the paper that it appears to be referencing [0], Table 2 shows -- instead of the across the board decreases in share of jobs in the low wage sector with increases in the middle and high wage sectors shown on the graph -- increases in most countries in both the low (Finland and Luxembourg being exceptions) and high (all countries) sectors, and decreases in the middle wage sector (again, all countries.) The first sentence of the conclusion of the paper states: "The employment structure in Western Europe has been polarizing with rising employment shares for high-paid professionals and managers as well as low-paid personal service workers and falling employment shares of manufacturing and routine office workers."

Although you claim Wireshark, etc. can be used to verify the lack of external communication, the fact of the matter is that it only verifies you aren't sending data to third-parties all the time. It does not mean that it won't do so occasionally, or that (say, if triggered via a message in an existing platform) it won't suddenly send your credentials to someone else and then erase its tracks, or do anything more sophisticated than the naive approach you illustrated. The reality is that open-source really is necessary to prove that nothing nefarious is going on, as unfortunate as that is. I hope you can open-source it in the future so that it enjoys full adoption.

Avoid Death doesn't mean reproduce.
Do you ever find yourself using that word in real life too? You're the first person I've seen to use it non-ironically. I will use it from now on, I quite like it.
If you feel everyone shouldn’t be enabled to live to 100 because there is little benefit to society, you are not that far from thinking maybe everyone shouldn’t be allowed to reproduce unless their offspring benefit society.

I personally don’t believe either of those things should be limited, I simply believe people with good genes should have an easy way to match with each other and form a relationship. That’s it. Society will take care of the rest.
That doesn't make any sense because neither labor nor management live at work. The workplace is not a home.

The purpose of a blacklist is multifold - to reduce the efficiency of an offline attack, in which the hashes are stolen and can be attacked at high speeds without rate limiting - as well as an online attack.
I think this is intended for the case where a database has been compromised, but then again, I thought that hash algorithms and salting were supposed to deal with that.

It would be reasonable to lower the contrast a bit, accepting that it would be slightly less readable (just as it would be if it would be with a smaller font) but still not actually hard to read.

I.e. the main text would be at maximum contrast, the tertiary text would be the contrast at the WCAG guideline threshold, and the secondary text would be somewhere in between.

What would a change in the prioritization of how roads, bike paths, and sidewalks are cleared cause all the trains to be cancelled? I thought the trains had their own routes and own clearing equipment?

I tried researching this but nearly all the news in English is from the pro-Trump/right-wing press using this to ridicule feminism. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/gender-equal-snow-removal-... said the trains were running at half-speed, which make me think that the feminist-based snow clearing policy wasn't the main problem.

I did read that it was the biggest snowfall in 111 years - surely that played a role as well, yes?

Almost all of the articles I found were published within a couple of days of the event, and all referencing the same Swedish news sources. I didn't find anything which described how many of the chaos was due to the different snow cleaning prioritization and how much was due to the amount of snow. I imagine other factors might also be important, like the amount of lead time in knowing there would be that much snow, or if (since it was an early season snow) people hadn't expected such a storm, and perhaps not yet switched to winter tires.

No doubt the Swedish news all covered these details, but that doesn't help me much.

I’m with you. I didn’t mean to imply that investment is actually high. I just meant that by the looks of stock prices, one might suppose that investment is high. From what I understand, the central bankers hoped that flooding the markets and driving down interest rates would force investment into the real economy (for lack of yield anywhere else), but that doesn’t appear to be actually happening.
>That's just a plumbing problem which can be solved by lowering temperature or using a different material with lower resistivity. Yes, it'll probably cost more, but it's a problem that can readily be solved.

No it's not. What is this magical material with ultra low resistance? And how do you plan to reduce capacitance?

Btw, manufacturing terahertz speed transistors is very difficult. There are Mott FETs which will switch at 10 terahertz, but they're incredibly hard to manufacture and very power hungry.

Nope. In fact EMI and differential power analysis based approaches are actually heavily mitigated in asynchronous, as is bus snooping.

Those names shine so brightly because the sky is so dark ;). China Mieville is awesome, as is Michael Chabon. And I’ll throw in Charles Yu ( How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe). You’re right that there are lots of talented writers out there in the field. I love science fiction, and my criticism was a bit of “making fun of your own.” You can’t deny there is also a huge mass of third rate hackery - same as with other genre fiction like Crime, Romance, Historical Fiction, etc. Its not all Ursula LeGuin and Samuel Delaney ;).

Though I agree rate limiting should be done (and done carefully), it is not very effective in all cases.

>The reason a summer at KFC could pay for a year of UW med school in 1981 isn’t that we were so hardworking and industrious. It’s that taxpayers back then picked up 90 percent of the tab. We weren’t Horatio Algers. We were socialists.

>Today, the public picks up only 30 percent of UW tuition, and dropping.

The Boomers stole from the generations that came after them and I can only hope Millennials will wake up and steal it back.
Would you go ahead and break out the the impact you're claiming as it pertains to adult children living with their parents? I disagree that it makes it completely broken, the effects shown in the study are dramatic, rather than subtle. You'll need to show an equally dramatic impact from adult children living with their parents having a counter effect.

That study also makes adjustments for household size. Further, average household sizes are smaller today than they were in 1980, by about 10%. That trend has been persistent, with household sizes shrinking considerably since the 1950s/1960s.

The upper middle class expanding from 12.9% of households to 29.4% of households, cannot be explained by your premise.

The change in adult children living with their parents between 1994 and 2016, is a mere 4%. From 27.5% to about 31.5%. And most likely that figure is set to decline a bit from here given the very low unemployment rate.

That 4% change, for example, could explain some of the drop in the poor and near poor, from 24.3% of households to 19.8%; and the lower middle class falling from 23.9% to 17.1% of households. However it very obviously fails to explain the change on those two combined. And it entirely fails to explain the epic increase in the upper middle class.

gofmt is only revolutionary in that it refuses to solve the hard problems that pretty printers for other languages solve. Specifically, it doesn't wrap long lines--ever--even though making visually pleasing line breaking choices is pretty much the hardest part of pretty printing (look at how clang-format deals with it, for instance). This design decision would be a non-starter for almost all other languages, where long lines occasionally happen.

In other words, gofmt showed that it's easy to write a pretty printer if you ignore line breaking and instead force everyone to accept long lines. This is not a particularly interesting, and certainly not revolutionary, result.

(Not coincidentally, I have similar concerns regarding this Go versioning proposal and lockfiles.)
> I think users would prefer federated systems. Who wouldn't? Even though most people have probably never heard the word before, they almost certainly use and appreciate federated systems like phones and email.

Except that they don't; they mostly use Facebook Messenger, iMessage, and Whatsapp. Those that do use email use gmail, which barely federates (most gmail users never see messages from my personal email address, because google routes them to spam despite my IP never having spammed).

Here's the thing, happiness or just general "well being" is due in large part to how people perceive their world, not only due to the physical, material conditions of it. Yes, even poor people these days have smartphones and cars and refrigerators (in part because these are basically necessities to participate in Western economies).

But that doesn't mean they'll ever not be poor, nor that they can easily afford those goods. And that doesn't even touch on all of the class-based cultural differences and systemic inequalities (e.g. in education and justice) that middle class/poor people are still subject to.
That's only a place you would "never expect" because you've carefully hidden the gotcha. Stated less obtusely, you're finding the intersection between two lines which are parallel to JUST above the precision of an IEEE double. This is a cute example, not a real world situation. In the real world, precision loss in this circumstance is acceptable and any real system that accepted a "parallel" condition like this would have a check for it.

For a similar situation: atan2() exists because of a coverage issue in the problem area and not a bug in the idea of a tangent or a float.
There is an optimistic outcome you are missing.

Here is an analogy. Do you pay for the air that you breath? No. It is free, because air is so abundant, so avaliable, that nobody would possibly charge for it.

Imagine if the qualities that apply to air, apply to other things. As they are already doing so. There are tons of free software, for example.

Now, imagine that food and housing became so abundant, so available for anyone to take as much as they want, that nobody would even think to charge for it.

Such a society is still capitalist. It is just full of abundance.

> You presented absolutes and the data proved you wrong.

I could say an absolute statement that throwing more wood on the fire would make it hotter. If it also happens to drop into the lake, that doesn't prove me wrong. In any such statements, there's an implicit assumption that other effects stay the same, that I am not dropping the fire in the lake.

Seattle has undergone enormous change in the last 5 years due to Amazon. Ignoring that in any cause/effect analysis of the overall city invalidates the analysis.
