I don't think you actually understand how a reverse Dutch auction works. The developers aren't bidding against other developers, developers are saying how much they are willing to pay and communities are bidding against each other to get the development.

No, that's exactly what I'm objecting to. The more bidders in an auction, the higher the price, the high the price, the larger the cost of development. This effectively a device to impose an extra tax on people choosing one land use over another.

The whole of NIMBY is a (supposed) community of home owners able to stop development. The story told for this safe streets and "community feeling" but the actual aim and result higher home values at the expense of a bizarrely distorted market.

Today, "the community", other property owners, toss money into legal devices to stop development using environmental impact other ad-hoc methods to stop one property owner from using their property as they wish. In a lot of ways, this confused scheme is codifying this disaster.

What I'd advocate is instead rationalizing the zoning process so the health of an entire region is considered. Have much more definite guidelines about what and where developers can build, remove the million had now infesting development.
Over 1100 donations from his right side. I wonder what his arm looks like. After getting stuck that many times would it be easier to just put in a central line?
> "And how will hackerISP pay for nationwide infrastructure?"

Depending on where you live, ISPs do not need to own their own infrastructure. For a bit more information into how this can work, I'd recommend taking a look at local loop unbundling:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local-loop_unbundling

Also, GP is alluding to things that have already happened in the past, in the wild west days of the Internet it was more common for small ISPs to get started (even with competition from the big ISPs like AOL and CompuServe).

Considering the lag in communication to earth, it'd have to be fully autonomous. It needs to be able to avoid obstacles, navigate visually (that article states a compass won't work with Mars's magnetic field) and find a place to land, in direct sunlight, whenever it needs to charge its batteries.

I'm sure NASA has mapped out some waypoints, but there's no way to really control the actual flight remotely without a human in orbit.

IIRC, this is also exactly the reason that anodized metals create a rainbow effect. In that case, the thin oxide layer creates the necessary interference.
Greeks didn't care for black or white -- they cared for cultural ties (language, religion, customs, etc).

Their word to collectively describe foreigners is literally "those who speak in an indecipherable language": "barbarians", where "bar-bar" was meant to be a vocalization of a random foreign language (like we would say "blah blah").

That said, they were white in the sense that modern Greeks, southern italians, and middle easterns (Egyptians, Lebanese and so on), eastern turks, and so on, are white. And modern Greeks still are closely related to those ancients according to studies [1][2], so you could look at George Stephanopoulos (both parents Greek-American immigrants) for a quick example.

There weren't however "white" with a modern European and American conception of "whiteness" which restricts it to anglosaxon populations.

In fact when they started immigrating to the US in the late 19th, early 20th century, they were considered decidely "non-white" material, and were subject to abuse and racist attacks (including being a major target for the KKK) [3][4]. At the time, the same was true also for Italians, Bulgarians, Albanians, Jews, and so on -- even Japanese and Chinese immigrants.

Generally, "white" then was whatever fitted the WASP look and worldview. So it wasn't just about skin pigmentation.

> I'm confused by your example too. If you mean replacing matching None with testing for nil, then you'd have to replace Some(T) with an `else`, then the compiler absolutely can prove that if you take one branch you take the other

If you use an inclusive union, the type of x becomes A | nil (or however you write it). The trouble is that you don't know whether A might also be a type that includes nil, and userSuppliedValue might be nil already. So if you write in match/case style your branching behaves inconsistently in that case (because x is both an A and a nil) - and if you write in "if(x == nil)" style then you can't infer that branch y will be taken when someCondition is true.

> And after all that I'm not sure how your example relates to, or what you even mean by "noncompositional".

What I mean is that viewing these types as type-level functions, they don't compose. For option/maybe-style types, composition works as expected: you can know the behaviour of X[Y[A]] by reasoning about X and Y independently. That doesn't work for inclusive unions, because whether A | nil is a different type from A depends on what type A is.
That's not why the dynamic type was created, that was just one side benefit. The dynamic type grew out of the IronPython effort which grew into the DLR in order to better support dynamically typed languages on the CLR, by having reusable polymorphic inline caching for efficient dispatch.

COM integration with the CLR has existed since the beginning, which I used quite extensively many years ago, they just took advantage of the DLR to make it easier.
Right, the model accounts for all possible "causal routes", turning causality into something subjective.
So, question for the Cryptocurrency (and/or Tor) crowd:

The situation described from the article is bad enough as it is - but currently at least all the intermediaries are registered businesses with people behind them. With some effort, a jornalist (or investigator) can track them down, find some humans behind the operations and confront them.

The businesses, in turn, can't get away from that because payment probably still happens in dollars (or another fiat currency) and can be tracked.

In the world crypto advocates are envisaging, Securus, 3CInteractive, LocationSmart etc presumably wouldn't registered businesses at all - they'd just be anonymous web services ran by some people living anywhere in the world, taking payment via Bitcoin. They wouldn't even need legal excuses like Securos' "authorization documents" because it wouldn't even be clear which jurisdiction applies - not even talking about actually prosecuting anyone. They could simply grant anyone access who pays.

So, if all the hopes of the crypto community came true, how would we shut down (or even just "opt-out") of a service like this one?
That's a pretty massive assumption.
Morality based on external pressures is never sufficient -- an environment where personal responsibility and individual liberties are abrogated in favor of absolute totalitarianism is an environment where violence and criminality can flourish without hesitation.

The best solution is IMO not having your phone, or leaving it at home. Bruce Schneier already wrote about this on his blog and his latest book (Data and Goliath). Every time we take our phone with us, we make the decision to be tracked by a myriad of organisations. We need to be conscious about this decision because we do have a choice here: the choice to keep the phone home.
So one would also have to learn some html markup and have a browser (which is probably a given, I know), and then have to understand at least a little of how the program outputs to the DOM, and how (or if) the output of the JS interacts with the HTML that's already there.

I'm not saying any of this is a bad thing, it's just the way things are, but to an absolutely beginner it can feel insurmountable. I've seen the despair on beginners' faces when they've been shown yet another thing that has to be done, and which they don't understand. Then another, then another.

So. Many. Tiny. Steps.
you definitely can do that. Doesn't mean that anyone will care about this letter, though. If the data aggregation company doesn't provide services and has no presence within EU, then they aren't affected by your letters.

That guess would be incorrect. I would suggest that you stop disparaging other people and try to clearly articulate the point you are trying to make in enough detail to be discussed.
My ferritin levels are quite high, and anecdotally I started feeling better after I started donating blood. It's a win-win, so I donate as much as I can (which is every 3 months here).

They've also started sending a text message every time my blood has been used to help someone, which is one of the best warm and fuzzy feelings ever, that knowledge that you've made a genuine difference in some other person's life.
I'd go further to say that the data science community is doing social science better than the SocSci community in this regard.

The problem here is that because data science is industrially driven, there is no separation between measurement and influence. So, whereas academic sciences try not to influence behavior, but rather understand it, data science is trying to influence user behavior with understanding and ethics as an afterthought.
"We might add that modern geneticists too find classification by skin colour unhelpful, and indeed avoid the term ‘race’ (a meaningless category in biological terms)."

But it's good enough for government work...

"There is relatively little genetic difference between the human populations of different continents"

There is relatively little genetic difference between dog populations on different continents...

"and levels of skin pigmentation are a very poor proxy for general genetic relatedness. The distinction between ‘black’ African and ‘white’ European peoples, then, is not just unGreek: it’s also unbiological."

Completely wrong... if you're judging just between black Africans and white Europeans then it is a pretty good proxy for general genetic relatedness. It is absolutely insane to think otherwise.
Ask not what social science can offer the data industry, ask what the data industry can offer social science.
>It's as if the author is trying to exonerate the ancient Greeks from the pervasive ideological racism

Well, they didn't have "pervasive ideological racism". Even making someone a slave (which they did practice) wasn't about considering them inferior -- just considering it just spoils for them having lost a war.

And they could care less if those were black or white or whatever. They could (and did) make slaves of people in the nearby city-states as well.

Aristotle's idea of a "natural slave" wasn't really widespread as a cultural norm them. That would happen much later, especially with later Christianism, and would find it's ideological justification with colonialism and writers like Gobineau.
But the overwhelming majority of Greeks would have never seen a Indian or Ethiopian person in their lifetime. Why would they define themselves based on the differences between them, especially superficial ones?

The problem with adding the Ingress controller via Helm (and with a lot of other Kubernetes abstractions) is that it spits out a lot of code that is then difficult or impossible to reason about. `Helm Ingress --whateversyntaxdefualt` spits out 1000+ lines of Ingress controller code that is essentially two deployments with a health check and auto spin up, but it's complicated. In production can I use this or is there a security hole in there? What if the ports the health check are using overlap with other ports I have assigned somewhere else? What if something equally silly?

Maybe Kubernetes is new so that's why it's so wild west, but it really feels like a pile of bandaids right now.
North Africa was largely populated by people ethnically similar to the Greeks (Carthaginians et al).

They knew about the existence of other races, sure. My point is there was nowhere near enough contact or integration with them for the Greeks to begin defining themselves in relation to them.

I think the author forgets that there are quantitative as well as qualitative social sciences. An anthropologist like the author might think that ethnography doesn't have much to offer (though that seems dubious to me too, I'm no expert). But what about econometrics, item response theory work from psych, field experiments and "natural experiments" work from political science, network analysis work from sociology. Social science methodologists have contributed to a lot of the same things industry data scientists work on.
I actually like the light-headedness from donating blood. It's a mild little buzz, rather pleasant.

> Donating blood is easy!

Not if you have belonephobia/aichmophobia. I'm not sure how common that is, but I have it. I need a benzo (oxazepam, or stronger) before the needle.

There are other ways to do something good for society, and doing one good deed doesn't mean you're a good person (ie. a net positive karma, if you believe in such a thing). That's disillusioning yourself just like every form of donating does. Donating is not about you feeling good, it is about helping someone else. You feeling good is still a selfish reason.
Which License Should I Use? MIT vs. Apache vs. GPL (2016)
"Is there a number, which is larger than any finite number, between that of a countable set of numbers and the numbers of the continuum?" To think of a continuum, think of a number line—and all the numbers on it—without any gaps. This problem was answered by Kurt Gödel.

This is pretty confused statement of the continuum hypothesis; "There is no set whose cardinality is strictly between that of the integers and the real numbers."

Kurt Godel proved that the CH is consistent with standard set theory and Paul Cohen proved that the negation of the CH is consistent with standard set theory, the results together showing the CH is independent of standard set theory.

I'm all for simplification as long as you don't garble ideas beyond recognition.

> Yes, that's the problem with Monopoly

It is the problem of it "as a game", but it was the original goal design. It is a lesson on how capital can accumulate and leave people without options.

Monopoly is derived from The Landlord's Game, which was created by Elizabeth Magie in the United States in 1903 as a way to demonstrate that an economy which rewards wealth creation is better than one in which monopolists work under few constraints[1] and to promote the economic theories of Henry George and in particular his ideas about taxation.

The author just posed questions, arguments and opinions but nothing substantive. The subject of race has always been fluid. For instance, in the US Census Arabs, Turks and Italians are considered white yet neither resemble a Russian, Finn, or Swede.

If one looks to Egypt, Italy, Greece and Turkey circa 3,000 years ago, or all those countries within the Mediterranean basin, there is substantial evidence that the average "racial genotype" is much like it is today. (a mixed race hybrid between shades of beige and vey dark brown.)
