Apps Can Empower Stalkers to Track Their Victims
Its much more likely to be a result of a "parental wealth gap", because its those who are going to pay consultants lots of money (and likely conspire with other wealthy people to rig the system) to ensure optimal placement.
I thought I could tell too but once I thought I heard live music coming from a long way off by it turned out to be coming from a relatively small portable speaker attached to a man. I was surprised but now I no longer believe I can tell the difference from a distance.
I feel like we're missing the context here. Why is wikipedia ignoring it?
This article is creating a straw man. You don't do a 5 Whys and fix what you think the root cause was, you fix the issues that were most serious. If there are problems too big to tackle immediately, put in short term mitigations and incorporate your new understanding of the system's reliability into your future plans.

As soon as you could reasonably pinpoint it to a certain person, it becomes PII. A classic example includes a combination of zipcode, gender and age. While individually they would not be a problem, it’s the combination of these different parameters that allow you to narrow the pool so much it can reasonably assumed to be PII.
If you're serious about writing code; I strongly recommend learning some C, Forth & Common Lisp to get an idea of what's possible. Once you have those under your belt, appearances matter less and Cixl will look less crazy banana.
Very cool!!!

I would explore more of the city here if this were possible... work from different parks and establishments. Instead, seniors and the disabled get hit with another $1 price-hike and have more of an inconvenient, expensive bus system without additional value being delivered.
As interesting the assumption that mind can't work on classical computation could be, it's still not grounded in anything but assumption of humans being special. It's also wrong to take two unknowns and assume they have the same explanation.
What's your seeding strategy? You could try walking around physically in a target rich environment and asking people to install it.

From my research, a great technique could be to make invites core to your product, and have both ends of the invite/accept transaction to receive a powerful brain chemical or financial reward. Did you ever get $10 to join paypal? That was a great strategy!
>I don't disagree that life is hard when you are poor, I think you're just not giving enough credit to the resourcefulness of people. People don't just roll over and die when you don't provide everything, they find ways to resolve their issues.

That's a really weak excuse for not helping people in need. The continued existence of unemployment, poverty, bankruptcy and suicide demonstrate that some people don't find ways to resolve their issues.

>This assumes the government isn't actively trying to shut them down because they're unlicensed and the licensing system is excessive.

My original comment was in the context of the UK. I have no idea what the situation in the US, but it's incredibly straightforward to legally start a bus route over here. To start a local route, the only significant administrative hurdle is a ten-page form and a £60 ($80) application fee. It's entirely feasible for a small company to open a new route with one vehicle.

>I think this situation with a bunch of people sitting around unemployed because they can't get a ride and then suddenly getting jobs because you add an (unprofitable, i.e. underutilized) bus route is a contrived example.

It definitely isn't. Here are some case studies to prove it:

>I also think you would probably do better by subsidizing these people directly (e.g. through transport vouchers or just direct payments), rather than having the local government running an unprofitable route.

We already do that through a variety of means, but other transport options can be prohibitively expensive to support and there is a very significant administrative burden associated with means-tested benefits. Subsidising a bus route can be quite inexpensive on a per-journey basis, because the local authority only needs to cover the shortfall between fare revenue and the cost of running the service. Subsidised bus schemes can also provide broader benefits in terms of access to healthcare and social inclusion - a subsidised bus taking a low-income worker to their job may also take a young mother to a doctor's appointment, an elderly person to a social club and a disabled person to the shops.

When you say consider using an “in browser” web app what do you mean by that precisely? Do you mean consider if you can get by using browser based offline/local capabilities and not go outside the sandbox?

If the rules he's using are being followed correctly, and if the information he is posting is well-sourced, then your only other course of action would be to petition to change wikipedia's rules.

"Well-sourced" is not the only criterion. I could edit a page, citing credible sources, and still distort it by including implicit, one-sided interpretations of those sources results/contents.

Also, if the rules do not have, in short, "be objective", then yes, we should petition to change wikipedia's rules.
After quitting my 2nd crap job in Nov I prepared to give everything I have and build a new box, but first recorded 50+ lectures in a couple months knowing that I’d be impaired by my coming poverty (now 5mo in) and look forward to again thinking how I used to think. Poverty is extreme mental anguish, and I’m not even homeless until the end of the month (never been). And yet my decision making ability is already getting weak, I can barely think beyond whatever is in working memory or beyond tomorrow, forget big parts of days despite coding and live streaming it. (Eg. I know that I’ll never perform on a coding interview now, gotta attract opportunity). It’s my 3rd time being in poverty; tangental to pain but far from orthogonal so it feels like a decent anecdote. Variety is the spice of life, without resourses to eat or travel and with social connections rejecting the majority of the time, there’s both no point to turning on that circuitry and negative reinforcement for doing so... so the fact of mental handicap in subpar circumstances feels like common sense by now. Energy conservation, homeostasis.

The important part is that the algorithm is applied by the system without human interaction after the initial input of preferences. Placements are still final.
Comments on those kind of posts would quickly devolve into product hunt style sycophantry/astroturfing, or hn style caustic nihilism. Better off skipping them.
First consider that students switching schools also can’t be sure their choice is better (what if there’s a bully who will make their life horrible in their preferred school?). So even your premise that “trade is not valid if both parts know they’re getting a good deal” (which makes little if any sense) does not apply here.

You follow with angry anti-market rethoric but you never explain how a number of people trading places in schools, according to their own interest, makes anything worse for those not involved in an exchange.
That’s an interesting meta-idea. Have any more thoughts on its implementation that you’d care to share? I started going off on a mental tangent about how an algorithm would extend a WiFi hotspot’s expiration on your frequency / number of connections to it.

I've crashed MSVC 15.7 repeatedly while writing templates - usually due to an error in my code, but sometimes on valid code. I really do appreciate that Microsoft has been developing their C++ compiler a lot faster than in the past, but this seems like a buggy release.
My friends and I had a shameful game in uni where we competed to see who could make the most egregious edits to wikipedia without getting reverted.

What was surprising was just how easy it was. We started with minor edits in small articles, just adding our own name to some list of notable achievers.

Then, due to competition, we would add an entire paragraph that fabricated an event. Like adding ourself as a conquistador of some made-up novohispano population in some made-up location.

Imagine how compromised wikipedia must be by people with agendas more lofty than uni students passing some time.

Hell, just the other day I removed "See Also: Donald Trump" from one of the major fallacy articles. The history showed that the scathing political commentary was up there for over 8 months and nobody cared.
>I can tolerate ungodly amounts of frustration

A trait probably shared with most proficient software developers. The diamond of high skill must be formed by the stresses and pressures of persistent frustration and failure.
That's a mystery to me too. Initially when the complaints were made on Twitter (by some of Cross' targets), Jimmy Wales dismissed them, asking for diffs. Now that we've provided diffs and shown the scale of his efforts and the clear conflict of interest, we've heard nothing more. We're hoping the more exposure this story gets the more pressure it will put on them to act. But so far it's not looking hopeful. See how one editor was shut down when he tried to raise the issue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:KalHolmann
These seem like decent points. My reaction to them is mostly from riding my own manual scooter prior to the electric ones became prevalent in SF, and finding the electric share experience inferior in every way, as opposed to bikeshares being superior to owning my own bike.

Re: economics - My scooter is cheap (second hand for $10, new for $~40), and I wouldn't mind even if I lost it -- which is unlikely given I can just bring it into wherever I'm stopping instead of locking it outside -- so even though $1-2 per ride is cheap for transit, merely 5-20 rides later it's past the economics of scooter ownership, with few of the advantages of using a share program.

- owning a personal kick scooter and keeping it in my apartment really doesn't take up much space (I just leave mine on top of a shoerack next to the door once collapsed)

- it requires 0 maintenance

- I average over 10mph by being able to go significantly faster on even a slight downhill on a bike lane.
(I hear some scooters go up to 15, that's much more decent)

On the other bikeshares provide me all those pros.
[edit: formatting]
Thank you that is really useful feedback!
My knee-jerk reaction was "well, if you don't want to, then just don't mince the words".

It's not too far a stretch that to abbreviate "toll-free" or "fare-free" as "free". TANSTAAFL. I think everyone understands (to varying degrees) that someone has to pay, though it's arguable how much anyone understands just how much these things cost in the end. :)

However, as others have pointed out, the instant situation makes the criticism of calling it "free" more apt.

It's not that all riders aren't paying a fare. It's that only riders that are, in effect, voting with their taxes, to the tune of 1000 euro per year, by registering as city residents, don't have to pay the fare.

Suburban commuters might want that annual kilobuck to go the municipality where they actually sleep, instead, in which case, no "free" ride for them.

> But the accomplishment is much bigger (and requires a larger financial commitment) than that.

I think even that is arguable in many locales, given how high the existing public/tax subsidy of public transit already is as well as how high it costs to collect fares.
Figure 4 of the linked study (http://www.moniquedehaan.nl/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/schoo...) is very illuminating: https://imgur.com/a/Tjhqdfh

Looking at that graph the decision seems very reasonable.

Thanks, in type_alias document I see the example:

template<class T>
using Vec = vector<T, Alloc<T>>; // type-id is vector<T, Alloc<T>>
Vec<int> v; // Vec<int> is the same as vector<int, Alloc<int>>

That explains to me the using construct.

And tcbawo's answer tries to address the U{}.func()

However "either of which could apply to U{}" ... I'd expect that it should be possible to say which of these is in this example? I also can't see how that can (or should?) match "aggregate_initialization."
‘Crush Them’: An Oral History of the Lawsuit That Upended Silicon Valley
Math-as-"fun", math-as-art, social-math is just one perspective, albeit the one that dominates academic mathematics. Presuming it's the only way to appreciate math is frankly obnoxious.
Printing costs are pretty much insignificant for documents as small as the typical publication. If you really like it to be on paper, printing ten pages, reading them and throwing them out is still cheaper than spending an extra ten minutes of your time to walk somewhere and fetch an existing copy. Printing a paper costs much less than a dollar in supplies, walking to a library costs much more than a dollar of paid-for time. In this case, convenience is cost efficient and it does not make sense to rely on centralized paper copies to try and save a few cents of toner.

Seriously, I'd only consider going to the library if I need a whole book (for a single chapter I wouldn't bother, digital or local printing is fine for that) or if the resource is not available in a digital format at all, which is getting exceedingly rare unless I need something really old. Especially if I've decided that I need paper X for whatever reason, then it'd be useful to read it right now at my desk instead of some time later this day after a visit to library.
I know that’s a detail, but if I’m not mistaking the author is only one person, not sure why you wrote your comment in plural form (that personally slightly confused me).
I thought there are already plenty of active suspension systems on the market or is this different?
I totally appreciate OPs insights here. It can be so tempting to see things linearly. But obviously the real world is anything but. There's a curiously wicked theory out there by David Abrams that part of this seeming human predilection for linearity has occured somehow through neural conditioning involved with adopting systems of writing, compared to the crazy fractal ocean of sensory input that living in a real living landscape begets. The writing has a start. A finish. It progresses in a single visual direction, and what's more, the pieces themselves only represent reality. The letters themselves are completely different from the things they are describing. And they might be one of the first objects in human history that work like this...

Anyway, the book is called the Spell of the Sensuous, and it's dense af, but bursting with fascinating lines of inquiry.
Right, but nostalgia is a powerful thing. I'm sure if advertisers knew you watched some movie 20+ years ago they would target you even harder to make you watch the unwarranted reboot/sequel.
“I want 1 Chrome running”

Why? To save a little disk space? There are a lot of downsides to that. Microsoft thought DLLs were a good idea once.

I know Chrome has better isolation but it’s still not as idiot proof and most importantly, as cheap to support as having your own totally independent app.

If a user contacts you with a bug, you immediate know for a fact it has nothing to do with any new chrome update or possible problems chrome may be having and vastly narrow down the problem space.
No it’s not. A complete definition of intellect (let alone consciousness) has never been done. When it is then progress will be made.

The main takeaway (IMO) from this article is right here:

> However, businesses should note that if they have sufficient information to link an IP address to a particular individual (e.g., through login details, cookies, or any other information or technology) then that IP address is personal data, and is subject to the full protections of EU data protection law.
A few of my colleagues at work had a running gag of building a persona around one of our coworkers as a joke.

The goal was to get a Wikipedia bio crediting him with inventing a particular variant of mullet in the 70s.

We were unsuccessful in getting him inventor status, but we did a bio page created, and prominently featured a picture of him with a mullet. You just need a few months and some savvy dealing with the bureaucrats on the site. Slowly make relevant edits to build facts on other articles and you are good to go.
I wonder what the actual split of those two hours of EHR per one hour of patient care is actually targeted for _medical_ information vs cost accounting and risk management?

My experience (and resulting skepticism) in data collection for business suggests that “the business” side is the driver behind many or most of the inefficiencies.
The solution is to have local networks, then you care only about the local laws. Like on reddit each subreddit has it's rules, you have to respect the local rules , but you can participate in any subreddit

And another issue if you subsidise pensioners etc the bus companies adjust their routes and times to suit that demographic and also increase the fares for all the other which sucks if say your a cleaner who works in the evening.
I also conclude the opposite.

The time card looks very much like any time card of a single individual's regular internet use - showing the sleep pattern/circadian rhythm of a single person averaged over a long period of time.

No worries. It’s interesting seeing new discussions about it and how the points line up with older discussions.
Sounds like an interesting article
The EHR systems I have seen in hospitals remind me of a lot of the typical enterprise software systems. Convoluted and really hard to use. Pretty much all the systems my company uses just plain suck.

I think it has to do with the fact that the buyers (decision makers) of the system are not the actual users so decisions are made based on everything but usability.

A few years back one of my old irc buddies reached out to me with a simple 'hey man what's up' on gChat. Because my schedules were all over the place and whatnot I just looked off and left it. Checked on a old podcast I used to listen to (HPR) and the boys had put together a memorial episode after he lost his battle with cancer. Cancer, I didn't even know. For a year he was the one unread chat off in my Gmail inbox (because who the fuck uses gChat?) and I didn't give it a look, or notice the growing away time. You ever try talking to the dead over XMPP and wish there was a time machine setting?

Wherever you're at LordDrachenblut, give em hell, I'm sorry I didn't reach out. I still go over your old episodes and feeds every now and again bud. That's the weird part, the leftover breadcrumbs from life.

> Am I correct in my understanding that a mitm attack that starts with the initial messages could work and the only way to prevent this is to verify the safety number out of band?

That's pretty much inherent to any E2E encrypted system. You have to have one of:

1) out-of-band verification
2) a trusted party for verifying the identities for the initial key exchange
3) a set of (multiple) trusted parties for verifying the identities for initial key exchange.

(3) is what PGP does with the web-of-trust. It's conceptually secure, but the user experience has proven to be an utter disaster. For the form factor that Signal is addressing (mobile-only[0], intended to be used by people who expect the same level of user experience as WhatsApp provides), it's much better to go with a combination of (1) and (2).

[0] yes, there's a desktop app, but it's not recommended, and you still need to do initial setup on a phone
Sociologist have often found that homogenous countries care more about being "classless" than more diverse countries. Why do you think that US politicians always characterize the safety net as helping minorities and people that don't look like their constituents?

Politicians have even convinced people that "entitlement reform" means getting rid of welfare and when someone call social security an "entitlement" people get offended.

I've had to explain on more than one occasion that by definition social security and Medicare are entitlements and that welfare isn't.

When politicians talk about entitlement reform they are referring to social security and Medicare cut backs but they keep getting voted into office because the very people who benefit or will benefit from the "entitlements" think they are referring to welfare.

if you are at all a science fiction fan and you've not read brunner, i would strongly recommend his "big four" books at least - "stand on zanzibar", "the shockwave rider", "the jagged orbit" and "the sheep look up". he has a startlingly prescient vision of the kinds of dystopias we could be headed for.
