This is the same story as service dependencies, as well. If you've doubled up on this, then you can actually hide your database dependency behind a service contract. If done perfectly (high bar), then you take full ownership of the migration and nobody external to your services should have any knowledge/care of your database schema. Or your service implementation.

Nor is this where this trick ends. It is almost literally how Intel survived the supposed superior instructionsets of RISK back in the CISC days. They turned their implementation contract of CISC into essentially a service ocntract of "the computer will execute this for you." Then, took advantage of the misdirection and were able to get many of the RISK benefits in their computers.

Obviously, this can burn you at an extreme. That fun quote of another layer of abstraction, and all of that. I would be surprised if there is a prescriptive "this is how you do it" that is applicable to everyone. To note, if you only have your company as a client of either service or schema, it might be faster to just make the change in one shot.

Let that sink in. The 5 step process outlined above requires manpower to execute. Don't ignore that.

Seems like if its not legal to reveal what was agreed to then the laws need to be challenged and corrected or perhaps just ignored.

Also, the public should have a way to monitor and influence the process of design and development rather than it being only insiders. How do they do that?

If these problems aren't corrected then the government's actions should be blocked through legal or civil action, as they will not be representing the people's interests.

When reading a regulation your first priority always needs to be, answering the question, "Who does this apply to?"

If the rule applies to people who do x, and you encounter a requirement that is clearly burdensome, then you should reevaluate whether or not your really want to do x.

ie... The new liquor regulation is 10^100 pages long, but page 1 says we dont have to read the rest if we just serve wine and beer.

To remove the layers of abstraction: what it does is force prostitutes to rely on people who can skillfully market while avoiding authorities, aka pimps. What it does is massively increase the power of middlemen in a situation where two consenting adults could conceivably have an exchange of goods and services where neither felt particularly exploited.

It probably does shrink the market, but that just makes the prices rise, maintaining the attraction for middlemen with a larger portion of a smaller pie. Whereas pimped women end up with a smaller portion of a smaller pie. This lowers the attraction of the profession for willing providers, leaving a void to be filled by the unwilling.

The internet has been good to prostitutes. At the the camgirl level, pimps (as camsites) have largely withered away to competing technical service providers, providing nearly indistinguishable commodity platforms competing on features and cost. No reason why this law won't be going for that, either. I'm sure some women on those sites are locally pimped, or follow up private shows with email contact and physical meetings. One occasion would be enough.
Clocks and watches, like old/homebrew computers, are very cool. They are hard but not too hard to the point that an amateur can't do it. I always envy the amount of ingenuity someone has that went into making a watch.

There is an exceptionally good podcast about a vintage clock restorer's life I listened to last year called Shit Town. It describes how the life of someone so brilliant, so smart could be so bizarrely and tragically dysfunctional. I think the story rung a bell to myself, and I couldn't be more sympathetic after listening to it. It has to be my favorite podcast of all time.
Good point, I mean user name and password, with an initial verification email. If you use the email option, you can't get into the app without first clicking a verification link in an email. That caused a few headaches after launch when my transactional mail service didn't have a great delivery rate. Still the right thing to do from a security perspective. I do have a big "preview" option on the login page for anyone looking to kick the tires before committing to creating an account, which hopefully compensates for some of the added friction in the verification process.

I would say that "50% of the variance in intelligence is heritable" is in no way in opposition to "gifted kind of education is something that would help everyone to achieve more".

1.) 50% is a lot of variance.

2.) There is more to learning and achievement then just where you stack against other kids.

But also, Einstein had good education and his family cared about his education. Moreover, Einstein is effectively outlier - arguing that single most known and popular scientist is repeatable framework does not make sense.

So the thing is more: you created a life with kids, you decided to take care of those kids, you agreed it would take a lot of time to make it the way you think it should be done (e.g: they being sane and healthy) and allocated that time to those kids.

This attributes way more intentionality onto having children than actually is the case, in almost half of cases.

In 2011, 45% of all pregnancies in the US were unintended, and 18% of all pregnancies being unwanted [1]. That means that for the nearly 4 Million births in the US yearly (using 2011 numbers), the intentions you state about how to think about time management with the additional kid likely does not apply for about 1.8 Million of them.

Speaking as a father of three, your statement is discounting a number of things - including personality type - and I find that those with kids who do a lot are predisposed to doing so, how they manage that with kids varies by their predispositions.

So its naiive to equivocate having kids to taking on a new hobby or a job - for various social, legal and ethical reasons. They just aren't the same.

I'm not sure where you are getting the idea that Marxism says that people should not be incentivized to work more hours. If anything, I think Marx's labor theory of value[1] would be more likely to lead to the opposite problem, people being incentivized to work rather than being incentivized to produce value.

That's civil, not criminal.

> If you want to cry about the lack of due process in civil forfeiture, I will be with you 100

Edit: stike that, I didn't see the guilty plea to structuring. This was a criminal case.

Edit: I will note the fact pattern in the WaPo article _is_ much closer to the one I described above. Kwon was breaking his transactions into smaller deposits to avoid paperwork (which is distinct from scrutiny, but not massively distinct).

The burden of proof argument is also not reached in this case. I doubt the prosecution would have been able to prove that Kwon was actually structuring (given that it seems likely he could establish the distinction of avoiding _paperwork_ and avoiding _scrutiny_ to a jury). Still, this case has no bearing on burden of proof, as it was resolved by a guilty plea.

I agree that this case shows a fairly clear failure of prosecutorial discretion. I don't think it has any relevance towards a burden of proof debate about intent.

Lastly, that was some _really_ bad advice provided by the bank teller. Like...very very bad.
As others have mentioned, Tao has fantastic resources, and his blog might be worth looking at. Rudin is a classic. I studied real analysis through “Advanced Calculus” by Fitzpatrick which has some great material.

For more advanced analysis (esp. functional analysis) I would look at Kreyszig or Hunter & Nachtergaele.

The best way to prepare imo is to just do proofs between now and the start of the course. Try to find practice proof problems online and see if you can do them or find an entry-level book on discrete math. Problem-Solving Strategies by Engel is a good but slightly more advanced book for a beginner.

That's moving the goalposts. The point upthread was that splitting a single deposit made you "a criminal guilty of structuring".

But yeah, sorta: if you are repeatedly splitting such deposits in exactly the way needed to avoid reporting and scrutiny, and don't have a valid non-structuring explanation, those facts are going to go a long way toward proving intent in the minds of a jury. Would you seriously argue otherwise?

As I read through this all it feels sort of weird even typing it but I kind of hope Amazon or Microsoft buys Docker rather than Oracle, Google or IBM.

I suppose the approach by the Golem team is substantially different because the ideology associated with it.

What you see as “trying to force what should probably just be a centralized service,” I see as “innovating a new approach to powering decentralized architecture.”

I’m not saying you’re wrong. It would be easier to solve the problem using existing tool sets and more mature protocols. Yet, I’m pretty sure that the Golem team is doing something right. So there’s that. Maybe this isn’t a zerosum thing.

I'm probably in a very slim minority of people who took their first topology course before they took their first real analysis course, and I think my understanding of both topics improved as a result of taking them in this order.

there's no way to actually avoid epsilon delta arguments in real analysis, but it's helpful to know that there is a more "intuitive" way of thinking about continuity (although admittedly it's a little weird when you first encounter it), that requires a lot less algebraic magic.

Anyway, there's more to real analysis than the topology of the real numbers, but I think it's a great starting place.

I was just reading this article about Kogan https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/mar/24/cambridge-...

The article is a bit confusing for me, it suggests that Kogan initially went to the parent company of CA and asked for $500,000 for the data+modelling, and they refused?

It's not entirely clear, but at some point some money must have changed hands for the work, the thing that surprises me the most is even with figures like $500k being bandied about, is that the going rate for stuff like this these days?

Hey, that’s a really bad idea, jiveturkey. Facebook flags and disables accounts with zero friends and zero activity outside of apps.

I actually support LVT, as well as analogous taxes on resource extraction and other forms of rent-seeking. So if you invest in the oil and gas sector, you’d be investing in companies that will have massive tax liabilities and lower profits, which will reduce the value of their stock and the level of dividends you receive. And yeah, if you buy some land with your savings—well, that saved income turns into taxable income and then you’re on the hook for LVT as long as you keep that land.
If we did not had two months of mandatory programming as part of high school curriculum and then push to optional course by teacher, I would never become programmer. I would not know that I can be good at it nor that it is feasible career.

But also, I would push my kid both to go outside/to sport and to socialize if they seemed to spend too much time inside or in isolated all the time. You cant learn social skills without practice and your body need physical movement to be healthy. And many kids act badly if they don't have it (they might not be fully aware of causes and consequences, but they do behave better when they had movement). It is great when kid knows what it wants, but that does not mean that it is reasonable to limit education to that single one thing.
That's really nifty! Not quite was I was thinking of though, but it gave me a starting point for some research before I came across https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/1911 which describes why unimplemented!() doesn't quite work and what I'd like instead.
Without criticizing any other people’s recommendations on this thread, I think it’s easy for people who have been doing proof-based math for a few years to recommend books that look clear and easy to them now, without remembering the time, effort and other support (e.g. great teacher and classmates) that may have been necessary to make use of that book a good experience.

Or maybe they are just way smart than me? :)

Either way, when considering possible books to use, I would ask the following question - is there a chance this is “too easy” to use / read, while still claiming to be about analysis? (I.e. calculus books fail this test because they don’t say they are about analysis).
Then start with the easiest one unless there are really good reasons not to.

My own specific advice would be:

1) make sure you have had practice with proof based math before. If not, or you need the practice, get a copy of chartrand’s “introduction to mathematical proof” and do some exercises from the first 10 chapters. If you can do them easily, move onto analysis, if not, work through those 10 chapters first.

2) The book I personally like best for self-study is Abbott, “Understanding analysis” particularly if you can get the solutions manual, I think the explanations of the proofs are very good.

3) I would also recommend Lara Alcock’s book “How to think about analysis”, which is NOT a textbook, but has a lot of useful information and advice on how to learn analysis.

Also, obvious but worth repeating, if you are taking less than one hour per page to get through an analysis text, or don’t have pencil and paper in hand while going through the book, “ur doing it wrong” :)
