Yes, an employer can mandate that employees use password managers for work-related accounts and are already doing it, from my experience. Also, for the precise reason you say, corp accounts exist. Employees in some companies already can't turn off 2FA for some accounts whether they want it or not.

I'm still running my Galaxy S5 from when it first came out, and I've not found any problems with it yet - the camera is good enough for anything I need it for, and the battery can still run a good 4-6 hours active use.

True. Nothing about violence is specifically western.

Also true that the reality is that humans have evolved from more primitive animals that are totally driven by survival instincts and thus will usually act that way too (though mostly disguised in more subtle forms than war).

What you're missing though (or perhaps deliberately ignoring) is the potential of humans to rise above being marionettes of their animal instinct. Acting by instinct has its upsides sometimes. It certainly brings raw animal gratification but rationalising that we're "nothing more than primates that talk" is just an excuse to enjoy the animal gratification while ignoring the consequences (which beyond hurting other sentient beings also blocks one's way to real freedom, which is the real tragedy).
What evidence exactly are you looking for? If you compare two different cities with different housing densities, you're not only changing the housing density but (likely) also the value of the housing (since it increases availability of services and so on). It's not possible to magically adjust one variable while not touching the others.

However, if the prices in silicon valley were, say, 30% lower than they are now due to zoning which allowed more housing, would that constitute as evidence? You could still say that the "prices are high, higher density housing doesn't work!" - even if the higher density housing would've decreased prices by non-trivial amounts.

In any case, it's weird to see people objecting to basic supply and demand when it comes to housing.

To give an example of that - my friend runs a one-man internet shop, selling niche items. His monthly profit is around (an equivalent of) $1-2k, while his Google invoice is $7k$-10k. So, essentially most of the fruits of his labor go to Google. And, according to him, if he tried spending less on advertising, he'd just vanish from the face of the Internet and customers would buy at his competitors.

No cryptocurrency is a monetary system, they aren't even a functioning currency. For that to happen they would need to fulfill three functions that currently none do. Namely:

A means of exchange
A unit of account
A store of value

They satisfy the first but not the other two. I cannot know for sure what value my coins have on any given day, let alone what they are likely to be valued at by next year. Thus they do not act as a store of value nor a unit of account.

If it takes the electricity consumption of Denmark to secure less than $10bn in transactions, how much will it take to replace the $6tn daily Forex volumes?

> Most of the type systems studied are not used in the wild, so they can't be interesting because they describe something people are already interested in. The only other possible explanation for the relevance of these papers is that the authors hope to improve upon what already exists.

Your argument here amounts to: if it's not descriptive, it must be prescriptive. By this argument, the entirety of pure mathematics is prescriptive. Is the idea of a semiring a description of a particular natural object? But it makes little sense to claim the idea of semirings is normative. After all, math studies many structures that don't satisfy the semiring laws, as well!

Likewise, computer science studies many forms of "computation" which aren't physically realistic. Is computational complexity theory "normative" in studying Turing machines, or PRAM machines? No, they are merely convenient abstractions which get at the essence of a particular problem.

The lambda calculus is similar: it is a convenient abstraction which gets at the essence of a particular way of computing. It's a useful starting point for a certain kind of PL theory because its semantics are relatively simple. But it's certainly not the case that all PL theory studies the lambda calculus. PL theory includes work on verification of imperative programs; on macro expanders; on compilation techniques; and on pure logic.

What is certainly true is that many people who study PL theory do have normative (usually aesthetic) ideas about PL design, and these seep into the kinds of systems they tend to study. I agree that computer science isn't a natural science. But it isn't as simple as "anything not descriptive is normative", or that (quoting a sibling comment) PL theory is just "a theory of some variant of the lambda calculus".

As the proliferation of newly created digital currencies should tell you, printing new bills at will has been replaced by creating new currencies at will. So a series of new bills in the old system is now equivalent to a new blockchain. While we have thus the well perpetuated illusion of an ever fixed amount of currency, the system moves towards massive inflation due to an incentive to create new currencies.

Many people don't realize that violence is literally the foundation of our "peaceful" society. The policeman with his taser and handgun directly enforces peace in your neighborhood. The soldier with his rifle and cannons guards your nation's borders, and his violence is the reason you can work in peace in your air-conditioned office and blabber about which js framework to abuse this week.

You are 100% right. Violence (or threat of violence) is the answer to almost all problems.

Brave does not sync passwords and bookmarks on iOS (don’t know about the other platforms) which is a bit unfortunate but all over not too bad.

well actually my company has a mixed Angular+AngularJS application.
AngularJS really sucks compared to Angular. Angular is a extremely polished framework. However the size is a problem..

Currently upgrading from 5 to 6 was simple. We didn't need to upgrade 'angular' code. (we just used https://update.angular.io/) basically took me two hours (replacing all rxjs code) (code base is 35k lines of typescript and 14k lohtml)

The biggest pain between 5 and 6 is basically rxjs not angular per se and for that there is rxjs-compat.
However the only problem with angular would've been if people would've used the old Http Client, however we started with 4 and directly used 'HttpClient' which also is way better since you can easily have interceptors around it.

Robinhood seems to be excellent business model.
Another very counterintuitive (for me) problem:

how do you do better that break even in the following game: 'A' chooses two distinct integers, writes them on slips of paper and holds one out in each hand in a fist. You choose a hand and reveal a number. You must then guess whether the other number is higher or lower than the revealed one, winning $1 if you guess right and losing $1 otherwise.

I've been thinking the exact same thing lately! There is also in there somewhere a nice paralel to proof of work.
The real power of Facebook is the trove of user data that they obtain through the freemium where the "user is the product".

Blocking ads will become nearly impossible once WebAssembly becomes ubiquitous. Sites will simply have their own custom render engine and transport protocol; it will be game over.
I was in the infantry for over a decade. I joined before 9/11, but I did reenlist some years afterward, and I deployed a bunch, and fought many times. The thing about the article is that he says right there in the first couple paragraphs... Nobody that hasn't been there will understand the core message here. Worse, it's not socially palatable to embrace your innate human violence, despite it being such an intrinsic biological function of survival. And so even if some people might understand something of what this guy is talking about, they'd never admit it openly, and generally the most appropriate response our culture expects is some kind of pearl-clutching. So that's what people do. Even if they're genuinely curious and want to understand. Even if they do understand this universal truth to some degree. The one thing I discovered that surprised me the most when I joined was how normal everybody was. Soldiers are people, too. Sure, there are psychos and shitheads and scumbags, just like any community. But we were all born on planet Earth.

What I mean to say is this: Violence is built into every human being. Or as one of my favorite quotes of Captain Picard goes, "The seed of violence is within each of us". When I joined the army, I realized the most dangerous thing that could happen is for regular people to think that they're not capable of the things they read in the news.
I'd offer the opposite perspective: I started a recent app in React, and I wish I'd stuck with Angular.

The core of the React render model is beautiful. It's far quicker to start writing and using a new component in React than in Angular, and the functional nature of React components feels good and highly productive. At first.

But the problem is, around that beautiful core, the React community has built a mass of libraries, meta-frameworks, techniques and practices that are decidedly less beautiful. After a while, I really found myself missing features from Angular, and struggling to replicate them by wiring together a hodge-podge React++ framework. Instead of being productive, I was wasting an inordinate amount of time trying to discover what the current micro-framework de-jour was for handling a particular problem in React.

For example, Angular supports view encapsulation. So you can write CSS targeting a component, and the framework will ensure that the style rules you write apply only to the HTML rendered by that components, without leaking to other parts of the app. This really is a godsend for properly isolating components in a reusable way. With React, there's a myriad of libraries for doing CSS, but most seem to be abandoned, and none seem to offer as straightforward or as easy style encapsulation as what Angular provides out of the box.

It was a similar story with forms. Which are a rich, reactive API in Angular, but seem to be an afterthought in React. And with dependency injection, both of singleton services and components elsewhere in the hierarchy.

I expect if you go all in on Redux, you can eventually build up a reasonable facsimile of what Angular provides. But from a standing start I think Angular is a much more productive framework, just because it's actually trying to be a framework, whereas React seems to be stuck somewhere between being a UI library and a framework, leaving the community to somewhat badly fill in the gaps.

I wish people stopped using niche terms as a) if they were common knowledge, and b) as if they were crucial to the discussion at hand. It's much more intuitive to explain what's going on and then say that what is described is also known as ___.

The Futamura Projections can be explained in about three lines and is not at all a complex concept to wrap your head around.

Casually inserting these terms in a forum where most people likely haven't had much exposure to partial evaluation terminology makes it sound like you want to either forcefully polularize these terms or make yourself sound more important.

What is the current state of the art in financial modelling in corporate finance departments?

I used to be a management consultant. We often built financial models of company operations or parts of their value chain, and then looked at the change from process improvement, restructuring or bolting on new business lines. Everything was done in Excel. For the annual strategic planning and budgeting cycle, large companies used expensive proprietary systems to aggregate divisional financial plans.

I now work for a big bank, building out a Jupyter-based data science and machine learning platform. We have hooks in to SDLC with code reviews, commit history, and all the good stuff that software engineers nowadays take for granted.

So what if Finance departments dropped Excel and instead used our dev tools and methodologies? I'm genuinely curious if any companies are doing this, or if any startups are building such solutions.
Programming language theory has no concept of "correctly-" or "incorrectly-designed." It may show some properties of some languages, and researchers may express their opinion that they believe those properties are inadvisable for programmers. Programming language theory does not define a metric for what's good or bad, and, in fact, programmers are often (though not always) better judges of that than theorists.
The funny part is that EC (a German-only card network that stands for the E in EMV, with MasterCard and VISA being the M and V) has less than 0.125% fees for the smaller retailers, and even less for larger ones – you basically only pay the interchange fees.

This is why e.g. ALDI for many years only took EC, but not MasterCard or VISA.

More importantly, the common repeated fact that "x% of startups fail" means little.

It's not a die roll. It's more like hundreds of separate die rolls with their own different probabilities and outcomes. It's how good the team is, he good you are at several different competencies (including toilet cleaning) and if your idea of an Uber for hair extensions is the hottest new thing or just dead in the water.

This, in the end, approximates a continuous distribution.
To be fair the polished product for physical goods is the better choice. If you buy the rushed appliance with design flaws you will just have to spend money again to replace it, or time to get it returned and fixed.

Software is different in that problems can be fixed instantly (since online updates) and the first to build the user base is often the winner.

The real problems occur when the "software startup" model is applied to a product that it does not fit.

Adding more housing will lower prices, and lower prices will increase quantity demanded. Yes, more people will be able to stay in and move to the area. That's the point. You've not made an argument for why additional housing would increase demand (i.e. desire to move, willingness to pay).

Road expansion boosts capacity just fine. Not as cost-effectively as public transit, but it works. What it doesn't do is fix congestion. I'd argue that there really isn't anything like congestion in the housing market. Homes are discrete; you have one or you don't. There's no such thing as "extra" people in the neighborhood shrinking all the existing homes.
