The analogy falls apart completely unless you attribute some inherent value to a corporation's existence like you would to human life.

What value does a corporation have beyond the economic value that it produces?

>Once that's rolled out everywhere it is really going to challenge the established online payment systems in Europe

Disagree. Most of the German banks that have just announced SEPA Instant are charging 0.50€-2€/transaction. No way the retailers will manage to convince the customers to pay that.

I think PSD2 with the Bank Account API (think Klarna/SOFORT) is the bigger challenger.
Yup now I remember why I took it off.
Forgive me if there's some flaw I've overlooked in this approach, but couldn't you use DNS to aid in this? I.e. add Bob's public key to the DNS for fight.club which you get for free in round trips, as you're resolving the A & AAAA records anyway. You then encrypt the SNI asking for fight.club (along with a random nonce) with Bob's pubkey.

Of course, this approach would require the DNS record is authenticated, so DNSSEC is a must, added to which the DNS resolution must be encrypted, so DNS over HTTPS, DNSCurve, etc.
Sometimes data gets lost. People are making the decisions, and people are sloppy and lossy.

Weak and strong are just about which data is incorporated. Neither one addresses the fact that no entity interacting with a market is infallible.
I love the smell of new tires but never thought that the marketing industry had figured that out and was exploiting it. LOL.
Isn't this the "Jungle Primary" process that's described in the article?
Right, it probably is more profitable for me to offer student discounts.

My choice may have a lot to do with the distinction between being an independent creator and being a large company.

The large company is probably more likely to take the profit over some sort of "stand." Plus, large companies are a part of the "establishment" that higher institutions are. The large company also can handle the operational complexity of student discounts better.

This touches on a topic I ignored in the article: Is it "right" for a company like T-Mobile to offer student discounts. In other words, are they ever so slightly perpetuating credential inflation, the need for unnecessary degrees, and the resultant predatory student lending?

It may sound like a stretch. And could anyone imagine T-Mobile saying "We no longer offer student discounts because the higher education is a bully that needs to stop victimizing 17 year olds. We're taking a stand!"? Ha.

Just a thought that passed through my mind that I haven't explored a great deal.
That would be kind of awesome, but I don't know how the github culture would meld with a big corporation. It would be an interesting case study for other similar start ups.
No, it's more than a nitpick, and I think the correction is the wrong one. The study says that there was a Y-chromosome bottleneck, consistent with a very small number of males compared to the number of females. The "was the result of brutal warfare" part is speculation, not the result of the study.
The thought anyone believes that makes me chuckle, thanks.
It's also possible the startup hasn't launched yet.
>It makes things simpler when you want to figure out who’s connecting to your servers, for example.

Why? Or rather I guess, How does it make things simpler?

Why should group satisfaction with the winner be the important metric? Surely good governance should be the most important metric. If the quality of government is too hard to measure then length of time before overthrow or revolution should be a good proxy.

Performance Tracking – AMP comparisons
> Actually, they do.

Really? That's your reasoned stance? So if I say "Not all blonde people eat boogers." but then find two videos of blonde people eating boogers then my rule is no longer valid?

Unbelievable.
That's a semantic distinction without real meaning. Tesla autopilot may have been designed/deployed to different standards of autonomy, but it's fundamentally solving exactly the same technical problem.

And it's actually doing quite well, though given human psychology any crash is going to be turned into "doing a lot of harm to its brand". Alas, we can't automate away knee-jerk conservatism.

you've misunderstood: the site used something like algolia (which the site paid for) to index. the scrapers were hitting that service (which was costing the site) rather than parsing the xml (which already had everything).
Can employees become rich by stealing IP?

Uber (for some reason) decided to give Levandowski $250 million to join their team. It just "happens" that he had a drive full of Google self-driving car research. I don't know that Uber paid for the what looks like to me to be industrial espionage, nor did I follow the details of the case or settlement but this has the smell of it.

Live like a king and start over?

Yes, if you think 10 years in jail is living like a king, or you value your life if your IP belongs to the government.

Additionally, court ordered restitution typically places a lien on your property that is not removed by bankruptcy. As for starting over, who would hire you in this situation and place you in a position with access to sensitive IP?

The smart employee used a Limited Liability Company

Your LLC will not shield you from any of this. You can not commit crimes in the name of your LLC. If you have an employee who commits a crime, then you as an owner may be shielded but that does not absolve or protect the employee in any way. In this case you would be held to account personally.

Why are most employees not doing this?

Most people act ethically most of the time and those who are not so inclined fear the rather terrible long term consequences.

can retire by doing such thing one time?

You mean after serving time in prison or are you assuming that our "employee" somehow gets away with it? I personally think if someone sells IP that would be valued in the "retire now" range of value, then they are likely to be discovered in the long run and held to account.

Better hope you like one of the countries with no extradition agreement and bank someplace where your assets can't be frozen.
Perhaps they perceive that AWS and GCP seek to own more of the work infrastructure and they're trying to get out ahead of this.

Our initial offering is a 0% interest loan targeting the 25 million Americans skipping doses, taking less medication, or delaying refilling prescriptions due to cost. Patients using Penguin Pay show increased adherence, fewer hospital visits, and importantly, stay out of a dangerous cycle of high-interest debt.

> I fear that the limit of precision strike weapons is being able to swiftly kill an arbitrary target anywhere, for cheap - which opens the way for ethnic cleansing, killing off political opponents, people harboring thoughts inconvenient to powerful people, etc.

This a very good point. I agree with you. To prevent this requires people to be involved in our democracy. As a group, we need to elect people into office that have the proper moral and ethic values that empowers them to hold the military accountable for how they use these weapons. If this is the case, I believe that is would be EXTREMELY hard for the military to misuse these weapons.
So has anyone looked into the issues involved in explaining this level of causation to any AI systems? It seems this might be work, but interesting.
Regular types, Unicode emojis, itertools, oh my Morning Cup of Coding Issue #55
I guess it depends what you are optimizing for.

Groceries is a quite big expense part for me, so REWE, Aldi and tegut in Germany are quite good for earning. Other expenses are traveling, where basically everyone accepts Amex. Starbucks accepts is as well, quite a lot of McDonalds and most fashion retailers as well.

You probably can't survive on Amex alone, but at least in Germany there is a quite big chunk that you can cover.
Yes, the raves you will only hear about from friends of friends are very much alive and well. Weekly in my area. The bars/clubs close at two, these start right after and go to 8am... 1pm next day... whatever you want.

There's a difference between going deep into the results, and progressively refining a query. The former is pretty indicative of bot behavior -- humans rarely go past even the first page of results. I do the latter all the time, and this frequently gets me Google's captcha, especially if I'm doing something like using site: and inurl: operators.
If anyone has used VSTS or TFS knows this is a bad bad idea. They tend to make unnecessarily complicated user interfaces with poor usability.
I love how succinct this article is. It's densely packed with great content, without all the filler material most authors try to add in books.

I think it's been well-discussed that in general, AMP is actually slower, or at least not a performance gain, but is solely built around allowing Google to background download if you're coming from Google Search.

These numbers seem to largely reflect that, since I assume they were not tested against a search results page.

“In fact, users don’t read anything.

This may sound a little harsh, but you’ll see, when you do usability tests, that there are quite a few users who simply do not read words that you put on the screen. If you pop up an error box of any sort, they simply will not read it. This may be disconcerting to you as a programmer, because you imagine yourself as conducting a dialog with the user. Hey, user! You can’t open that file, we don’t support that file format! Still, experience shows that the more words you put on that dialog box, the fewer people will actually read it.”

Sure, but just because you took an unrelated example to the extreme to show that everything can't be done doesn't mean nothing should be done.

With car accidents, a problem was identified, scientific research was consulted to craft solutions, they were implemented, the numbers improved. This is likely because everyone, regardless of income level faces the risks of driving. Bad schools can be avoided by having more money and living in an area with good schools.
Broken up into what? I don't understand what meaningful monopoly Facebook has, especially when compared to Apple and Google.
I wonder the same thing. How the hell do the economics of these things work, if users pay almost nothing and birders get so much money daily?
I would suggest building a small (not much more than toy) project in each - perhaps starting with a tutorial and then trying to extend it.

You can't really go wrong with any of these frameworks, but each one has a different philosophy. One philosophy may better fit your way of thinking than another. That's how I chose Django over Rails a decade ago, and haven't regretted it since.
