“rich white people"? Why not just "rich people"?
Yes, agreed.

My parents used to have a small garden growing up and we grew tomatoes once in a while. It was pain, because they needed a lot of watering, but they had an intense delicious flavor. I'd just go and eat them one after another right off the vine. Here in US it's hard to find that flavor. Some of the little green and yellow mixed tomatoes kind of have flavor, they are call heirloom tomatoes, I usually buy those.

> They used to be small, but intensely flavored, and ranging from very sweet to slightly sour.

The most delicious strawberries I have ever had, were wild strawberries. They were very smaller, about the size of a raspberry or smaller and would find them the woods in Eastern Europe when we went to pick mushrooms.

How could you possibly know pocketcasts never tracked anything? I am a pocketcasts user and I'd be surprised if they weren't tracking my usage of the app.

From their privacy policy, they at a minimum track what you subscribe to:
What information do you collect about me?
Your username in the form of an email address, and password;
Your podcast subscriptions, episode data and settings configuration;
Your unique device identifier, device language and licence validation data;
Pocket Casts web service also uses cookies and like technologies to keep you logged in.

Should you choose to generate a support request from within the Service, we may generate an attachment containing additional data to assist in addressing your support request which you’re welcome to view prior to submission.

sure but just handling ip addresses in your access logs is a whole lot easier than changing your entire site to comply with GDPR. major reduction in surface area
Perhaps I needed to indicate sarcasm more explicitly.
Yes! That was the part of the regulation to me that felt like a shake down. I get the need to be more careful with user data. Make me hire a rep in the EU? Now you're just trying to drum up fees for your lawyers...

Exactly! I and think if veggies had a more intense flavor, nobody would feel the need to add any dressing. Maybe oil, salt, and a bit of vinegar. But if the bulk of the salad is romaine lettuce, then without dressing is like eating crunchy water.
If I got a potential customer that was in the EU, I would simply not do business with them to avoid anything to do with GDPR. As a small business owner, I don’t have the resources or time to devote looking into anything related to GDPR. I guess GDPR is mostly targeted at larger companies? Anyone else feel this way?

Any relation to "The Jungle"?
There are many strict orderings that can be used, but we just need one.

Since each number is in a physical draw in a physical room, and no two draws can occupy the exact same space, there is a strict ordering of the drawers given by each drawers distance from a fixed point in the room (say a specific corner agreed on beforehand) in each of the three orthogonal dimensions sideways (x), backwards (y), and up (z).

We say a drawer A is before a drawer B if A.x < B.x; or, if A.x = B.x then if A.y < B.y; or, if A.x = B.x and A.y = B.y then if A.z < B.z

If A.x = B.x and A.y = B.y and A.z = B.z then A = B.

This is a strict ordering that will number the drawers from 1-100, and can be determined beforehand.

Now the prisoners take that order, and shuffle it randomly, without telling the warden what they are doing.

Tesla will still be fine in the long run. Tesla cars are still high in demand. You still have to wait weeks/months to receive one.

Yup. GP is definitely exaggerating how likely it is, although his larger point that in this era, working in the game industry is an explicit choice, because there lots of other options out there for devs, that point still stands IMHO!

There are studies like this one [0] that argue just about the entire increase in inequality in the past few decards (in Piketty's "r > g" sense) can be explained by increases in the housing market.

That's not true at all. Overtime can most definitely be unpaid, and usually is.
Unless you are "Salary Exempt," in the which case overtime is not paid.
Your getting a lot of what I would consider bad responses.

There are ways with downsides to mitigate the risk logging requests.

HMAC with time component will render the data useless before long. Essentially OTP. Downside client time needs to be accurate.

Negotiate a shared key ala NTLM. Downside more round trips; essentially establishing encrypted transport inside encrypted transport (https).
They can't see that the posts are coming from your IP address, though. That's one of the things TLS protects—I can post from a coffee shop and nobody at the coffee shop can know (except perhaps by traffic analysis) that the person at the table next to them is the person with this username.

I worked at EA before and at Google now.

EA got better over time (and I worked to avoid game teams where crunch was worse), but I had patches of bad crunch. My longest was 9 months of 60+ hour weeks, 6 days a week, 10+ hours a day. Outside of that, I had a couple of more intense shorter crunches. A couple of 80+ weeks.

At Google, I don't believe I have ever once worked more than 50 hours in a single week. 99% of the time, I'm right at 40. If I stay a bit later, the office looks like a ghost town by 6:30.

> As I stressed there, if you’re in a biggest-number-naming contest, and you write “BB(10000),” you’ll destroy any opponent—however otherwise mathematically literate they are—who’s innocent of computability theory. For BB(n) grows faster than any computable sequence of integers: indeed, if it didn’t, then one could use that fact to solve the halting problem, contradicting Turing’s theorem.

I don't get this. You write "BB(10000)" and they write "BB(10000)+1". Why don't they win?

Yes, under the hypothesis they are innocent of computability theory. That just means they have no idea what "BB(10000)" means, but all they need to know for the biggest-number-naming-contest is that (1) it is a number, and (2) adding 1 to any number produces a bigger number.

I think that even little kids figure out #2 and will use it when confronted with a number they do not understand in such a contest. You might be able to challenge them on #1 and if they are young they might not realize that if their number is disqualified for not being a number then so is your number.

Or are we assuming you had the foresight to specify in the rules that players can only use numbers that they can personally explain, thus allowing you to use BB(10000) because of your familiarity with computability theory, but forbidding them from doing so because they only know it is something that you claim represents a big number?
"clearly don't want to be tracked" is probably relative.

To be honest I would totally be cool with letting podcast producers know when I play a thing and pausing and whatnot. I think it might be useful to them for improving things and making stuff be better cut.

The counterpoint is that this stuff would probably also be used for ads. But there's already ads in the podcasts? I'm pretty desensitized to targeted ads at this point...

However, housing costs affect young people more than Medicaid/Medicare, and younger people contribute more to GDP than Medicaid/Medicare recipients. So, when talking about GDP growth, housing is likely much more significant.
> I hope I can be convinced to be optimistic.

I'm kinda hoping my pessimism becomes justified. At that point, I can then only hope that an epiphany is reached and other approaches used without resorting to large sweeping legislation (which, among many other things could include more timid and actually enforced legislation at first). However, regardless of which side of the Atlantic I look on, it seems legislators only double down when their desired effect is not achieved. They only know one direction.
Changing and tracking diet long-term is nigh impossible. Has there been any work that you know of using economic incentives as a proxy? i.e. test group is granted coupons good for fruits and vegetables, while control group is granted fully discretionary coupons

the writers of the show did everything in their
power to communicate "This man is a moral monster
and a horror of a human being."

No they didn't. No they didn't. No they didn't.

The qualifiers of his moral character only took on darker notes toward the end of the series, near the fifth and sixth season. But remained justifiable, within the context of the fatalistic continuity of the series, where characters are left with limited options, granted the hand they are dealt.

Throughout the rest of the series, Walter White is as laughable as any petulant straight man in a comedic duo (e.g. the Hardy role of Laurel and Hardy, Larry Appleton from Perfect Strangers, the Moe of the 3 stooges), while Jesse Pinkman plays the foil.

As a comedic duo, the two are rendered harmless, and thus, any morality is diffused by the beat of each joke, within the care free scope of a goof. It's all gallows humor, with a wink, shrug and a nod that everyone's hands were tied, so just go with the flow and enjoy the ride.

FizzBuzz
The problem with this scheme is that if database storing the salted hashed passwords is compromised, then an attacker can easily log in as any user. In a more standard setup, the attacker needs to send a valid password to log in, which is hard to reverse from the salted hashed password stored server-side. In this scheme, the attacker no longer needs to know the password, as they can just make a client that sends the compromised server hash salted with the random salt requested by the server.
Or they can make the ads less annoying. For the most part NPR podcasts are pretty good for having "not worth skipping" ads that are a few seconds long.

Log review is done for every single project at my workplace too (Walmart Labs). So I don't think this is a novel idea. And it does not stop there. Our workplace has a security risk and compliance review process which includes reviewing configuration files, data on disk, data flowing between nodes, log files, GitHub repositories, and many other artifacts to ensure that no sensitive data is being leaked anywhere.

Any company that deals with credit card data has to be very very sure that no sensitive data is written in clear anywhere. Even while in memory, the data needs to be hashed and the cleartext data erased as soon as possible. Per what I have heard from friends and colleagues, the other popular companies like Amazon, Twitter, Netflix, etc. also have similar processes.

As mentioned din the intro, Japan (and HK) have been doing this for quite some time and have had success with it.

Looks like the issue is the pace of the development along with marine ecosystem disruption (they throw in a bit about fishers, but that's a distractive side issue).

So that makes me wonder, in places where land near the sea is more or less unimpeded by mountain, can they not just as easily, and perhaps more so, carve wide channels and create similar land-sea living environments? Do all you shaping and digging and then at the end, blow the dikes and let the sea rush in and settle.

Instead of taking land to the sea, bring the sea to land.

> Well, if you are not a brain in a jar, maybe. As far as I am concerned, I don't have any undeniable evidence that you even exist, nor that I have hands.

If I am a brain in a jar, do I have hands?

Well, then I would still have virtual/simulated/apparent hands. And, when I say "hands", by that word I mean those virtual/simulated/apparent hands. Hence, even in that scenario, I do indeed have hands.

The ordinary meaning of the English word "hands" encompasses both "ultimately physical hands" (of the kind I might have if I am not a brain in a jar and also not some AI living in a computer simulation) and also "simulated hands" (of the kind I might have if either of those hypothesises were true). So, either way, it is true that "I have hands". When I say that, I am not expressing any opinion on the truth or falsehood of those sceptical hypothesises. If I wanted to express an opinion on those sceptical hypothesises, I need to explicitly exclude them, i.e. "I have ultimately physical hands".

Niko, your implementation may not be right like others have mentioned (in that it triggers GDPR on your customers), but I fully support this methodology.

Well whatever we think of the overall point on equality, I have to congratulate Lewis on:
