>The fact that they are doing something illegal makes them criminals.

Not in all countries. In Canada at least, plenty of things are against the law (illegal) but do not constitute a criminal offence.

I'm not committing a crime when I break the speed limit almost every day on my way to work, but what I'm doing is still illegal.
You're absolutely on the right track. There are well-established statistics tools that formalize your intuition and carry it forward to its logical conclusion.

> "by day of week"

This means you have a time series with daily resolution (one observation per day) and you expect Weekly Seasonality to matter. Model this as 7-period lag in your daily series.

> based on % of increase from other markets if no previous years

There are multiple markets, each with their own time series? Congratulations, you have Panel Data [0]. Do some regions have similar trends? Need to account for that correlation, maybe try a Mixed Model [1]

> percentage of growth from last 2 years

So there's a trend component (constant growth over time). Easy enough to fit the I term of an ARIMA model for this. You'll need to do some custom work to integrate this with your cross-regional correlations though.

> Average processing time

You'll want to model this at least as well as you're modelling the demand. That means seasonal effects, correlations between factories / warehouses, etc. PS any time you're dealing with a two-day weekend you'd better use at least 3 years of data in case major holidays happened to fall on a Saturday and Sunday, blindsiding you when it shows up on Monday this year.

> show the holidays

You'll definitely need to put together a calendar of major holidays for each region. These models will calculate the effect for each holiday. Specifically, the effect of the holiday AFTER accounting for the day of week, overall growth, time of year (season), and region. You might even get nifty charts like [2]

===============

Anyway that's the basics. You can take graduate math courses in just this kind of modelling. Easier - you can contract a decent statistician for a couple weeks to build the model for you. They'll be delighted that you can produce SQL queries with the relevant data, and their models will help you get a lot more value out of those queries.

I'm totally for migration, but at a level where we can adequately integrate the people we bring in.

I want to make sure everybody has the support they need and conversely I want the state to make sure the people coming in are acting in the best interests of the country.

Is this really such a far-right fringe position to have?
I believe the main reason for this (along with the requirement that registrars "escrow" contact info for all of their domains with an approved third party such as Iron Mountain) is so that the domain ownership information can be recovered in the case of a registrar failure. E.g.: registrar closes unexpectedly, or registrar suffers some catastrophe and loses the contact info.
My hunch is the distinction they're trying to make is between criminals who steal data for nothing more than monetary gain versus those who would steal such data for more nefarious reasons, perhaps on behalf of a nation.
Also just individual humans who don't assume that open borders and mass immigration is the correct state we must eventually arrive at.

Isn't it much simpler to believe that there are people who organically disagree?

And if the goal of the conspiracy is to sow discontent and weaken relations, and if a disagreement requires two opposing viewpoints, aren't both sides equally responsible for the weakening?

For the past few years, I've been successfully running Gitolite[1] on a server with 1GB RAM. I recently checked out Gitlab as I thought it would be useful to have a nice web interface that allows users to easily see what projects are hosted and their corresponding URLs. I had to back away when I learned of Gitlab’s resource requirements.

Based on the sibling comments here, it looks like Gogs/Gitea should do what I want.

Hello, Sandra
Note how carefully the claim is written, rental income = PITI + insurance + taxes + 380 per month

With the implication that the ONLY costs of a house are PITI, insurance, and taxes. However, if you add in reasonable, even cheap values for yardwork/lawncare, roof depreciation and replacement, HVAC depreciation and replacement, and general refurbishment remodeling and replacement of interior surfaces, OP is losing a large amount of money per month. The gamble is, will OPs house appreciate in value more than OP is losing per month, or will OPs other investments made with 380 be able to keep up? OP can always walk away and mail the keys to the lender, of course, if it comes to that, so maybe extracting $400/month with the intent to foreclose when eventually necessary is a legit plan.

A lot of people treat normal household expenses as an unfair accident, as if replacing the old fashioned tank water heater every decade is some totally unpredictable meteor strike that should never be accounted for in the cost of ownership.

In general most models of home ownership hold water if the only expenses accounted for are annual or shorter term, but I spend roughly the same amount, maybe more, on average, of expenses of longer than annual duration. $15K every 15 years for a roof is not unpredictable meteor strike but is actually about $85/month. Built in dishwashers are designed to break down requiring replacement every three years, which isn't a disaster but is thirty bucks per month on average. A new 5K asphalt driveway every twenty years is not an unpredictable accident but is about $20/month. True, none of these are small bleeds are over $100/month or so, but the average house has well over a dozen of them. Figure about $1K to $2K per month of longer than annual term expenses.

Then there are remodeling costs. Its very difficult to sell a house with a 1970s kitchen. Most house kitchens seem to get remodeled every two decades for perhaps $25K each time. You can pretend that was an unpredictable uninsured natural disaster, but more realistically you need to save $105/month for the periodic kitchen remodel. Of course a stylish avocado color bathroom or shag carpet era living room will require similar amounts of money... The expense of "fashion" is around $500 per month for a typical house. You can do the elderly WWII or boomer thing and refuse to remodel your house, but the cost is coming out of the sales price eventually. Wood paneled shag carpet rec room in the basement ... people are going to make fun of stainless steel appliances and especially granite countertops the same way in 2030 or so, if not sooner.

There do exist weird pseudo-accidental problems. Planting a fast growing inappropriate tree in a dangerous location is the same thing as committing to spending $1K for a bonded insured tree service to chop it down and grind the stump. You can try to hand wave away that nobody could have known that cute little pine sprig on the property line could be a kilobuck liability a decade later, but uh, yeah, many people could tell that a big dead tree overhanging the neighbors house is going to be an expensive and entirely predictable problem, eventually.
What do you mean by "open borders"? If you're talking about the UK, the UK never had open borders in the sense that the rest of the EU has open borders (i.e. complete absense of customs).

> there is a lot more freedom in renting than buying

There are varying definitions of "freedom" to consider.

Sure, there is the freedom of being able to walk away after 12 months to someplace else.

But there is also the freedom of being able to plant a garden, or paint your room, or install shelving, or excavate a root cellar, or install a new doorknob, etc, without having to get express written permission from your landlord (which will almost always be no).
It's a story about RackShack, which was renamed to Ev1Servers. Interestingly, I heard a rumour that the real reason for then renaming the business was because of a court case with RackSpace who said the name was confusing similar.

But no, RackSpace was big name expensive hosting at the time.

When Rachel talks about new competition, she may have been referring to ServerBeach, which was actually started by RackSpace but they sold dirt cheap servers and stole the entire surfer theme concept.

I worked at RackShack and Ev1Servers during these times.
> Being able to speak the language within your first year in a new country helps integration and lessens the us-vs-them feeling.

Perhaps you could say that when you're young, there's a higher chance you'll fail due to internal reasons, but a higher chance you'll start due to external reasons (ie. very few commitments).

As you get older, there's a lower chance you'll fail due to internal reasons, but a lower chance you'll start (eg. less risk-seeking, less geographically mobile, family commitments, debt, etc.).

By this logic then, I'd expect VCs would jump at the opportunity to work with older, more experienced entrepreneurs who happen to be free from those commitments.

I don't know about safety, but nuclear plants produce much more energy per square meter. Wind turbines must also be installed in such a configuration to not have their airflow blocked by obstacles, including other turbines. Nuclear plants also do not require external energy storage since they can run 24/7.

"tried" indeed - because according to the wikipedia lemma covering the topic:
However, in July 2013, Ecuador's president Rafael Correa's commission on the Yasuni-ITT Initiative's progress, the commission concluded that economic results were insufficient, leading Correa to scrap the plan on August 15, 2013. As of early 2014, campaign groups are still attempting to save Yasuní-ITT from oil activities.

Don't use statistics as an excuse for racism. Eliminate racism everywhere you find it. There is no excuse.

There should be a line drawn at racial profiling; it is never an acceptable way to predict who might be a criminal.
"It's not. The bank has calculated and accepted the risk and factored it into your interest rate and other charges. Considering it to be dishonest is financially equivalent to considering a (not fraudulent) insurance payout to be dishonest."

That's not a true equivalency. Unless your loan has language or provisions for "mailing back the keys", doing so is an act of default and regardless of how well (or poorly) the lender(s) has/have hedged against the default you are breaking the agreement.

A real equivalency is stealing from walmart "because they can afford it". You shouldn't do that and you also shouldn't default on agreements you enter into.
Genuinely curious: how much does it cost per transaction and how many transactions per second can you execute?

> you need to be more transparent and up front about what how and why you're using analytics

That's a new one to me. Is this Facebook changing the landscape right now, or have you been expecting this for a while? Do you have sites in mind that warn about GA?

Pretty much all websites use GA or something like it, and in my experience it's extremely rare to be warned about it. It always goes in the privacy policy, which you should be able to find. But I'm not sure I've ever seen an advance warning that analytics was taking place. I suppose it's assumed, but in any case appears to be normal and acceptable to not warn people that logging and searching of those logs exists.

Cookies are a different story, since the EU passed legislation requiring notice of their presence.

>> You can't make targeted ads when you can't read user messages.

Sure you can. You can target ads based purely on the rate and timing of messages. If you are sending 100 messages an hour, starting at exactly 3:30 every day. You are probably a highschool kid with a smartphone. If you are only sending one or two a week, always during lunch hour, then you are an adult with a 9-5 job. At a minimum, they can estimate your sleep cycle.
If you think about this from a system or landlord's perspective, it's much easier. You don't need to do lots of accounting, just consider the system:

Your cost to live there is the same as as the landlord's, except for 1. Landlord's profit 2. Mortgage transaction costs and 3. Efficiencies through shared expenses.

For #1, You have the power to shop around.

For #2, You want to find a place where the landlord has owned or plans to own for a long-time, so e.g. the realtor's fee has long since been amortized.

For #3, One larger, more efficient heater is better than a bunch of smaller ones. Same goes for insulation. Industrial appliances like washers and driers mean cheaper cost per use.

Optimizing the system is about balancing your landlord's fees for running the house against your own opportunity cost to run your house as a hobby, with two credits in your favor for shared resources and buried expenses like realtor's fees. If you're handy, or have a partner who can work from home, running the house as a hobby is easier. If you or all partners work out of the home, your non-work time is much more valuable and running the house as a hobby is much more difficult.

Isn't that a limitation of the language and API rather than the parser/decoder? I would guess that most users don't want a JSON decoder that depends on some library for arbitrary-precision numbers and returns such numbers for the user's inconvenience.

The summary table suggests that a real bug was found in about half of the parsers tested, and even a few of those bugs belong to a category that one might choose to ignore: almost any non-trivial function can be made to run out of memory, and lots of functions will crash ungracefully when that happens, rather than correctly free all the memory that was allocated and return an error code, which the caller probably doesn't handle correctly in any case because this case was never tested.
