I would pay $50/month for a service that would map out all REITs in my country(Brazil) and analyze their respective management companies, quality of assets(vs price), revenue and financial vacancy.

I wrote some scripts but it's a pain in the butt to maintain as most of the data provided by the stock exchange isn't formatted. So somebody who provides would have both the data processed, and possibly worked upon afterwards by humans. Which I'm kind of lazy to do all by myself.

I thought about automating this and selling the service, but it's kind of hard to reach people to buy it, or to even sell this at all. I currently have already a good income that would hardly make the service be worth for me to build at all.

With this... I could buy the best for this investment window(bear market) of the next 2 years and retire before the end of the bull market.

It is like a ban but I think it has the advantage that does not make things illegal so you don't get the "state tells me what to do" people complaining because you explain it is a fair "capitalist/free market" measure.

Y0u are right that is hard to measure the exact costs, but we don't measure how much it costs if the bottle lands in water but how much it costs to have the bottle collected and placed in the right place(some special disposable facilities) this will mean have the stores implement ways to collect the bottles to be properly disposed, you can add Y on top of the cost and return it to the customer when the bottle is restored to have most of the objects returned , though I know some people will not like to keep the empty bottles and bring them back to the store

I think this could get a bit cruel in a few ways.

- Who measures the performance and how? How is it scaled to compare a contractor for corps and a dev at a tiny startup?

- Who decides what's the fault of the employer vs employee? If you're either fired or quit due to terrible mismanagement, why wouldn't you use whatever welfare you can while looking for a new job?

- And if you want to get someone out of the country, how do you do that? Where exactly do you send them if they ran out of money and have no support network?

Wellington is like a smaller (and much more windy) San Francisco. Having just finished driving 12,000km tip-to-tip, that might be the one spot that's dense enough to amount to something.

I can't emphasize enough how rural the rest of this country is.

New Zealand is a victim of its success in tourism. Everything is geared towards that. Imagine living somewhere like Denver, CO but with SF prices and depressed software salaries. It's a wonderful place but even with all things being equal bureaucracy wise (and they aren't), the list of places ahead of Wellington is two miles long.

in the last half a dozen orders I've made that involved a
somewhat heavy and/or large package, not a single delivery
service used a dolly or delivery cart

I work for a company called Ocado that does grocery delivery right to people's kitchens (unlike Amazon Flex, our drivers are employees, paid by the hour, and drive company-owned vans). I've been out with drivers several times. Drivers are issued with dollies and trained in their use.

Dollies are inherently a mixed blessing. You can pile more stuff on them - but if you've got to get up a kerb, you've still got to be able to lift that weight, and the dolly as well, and keep everything from sliding off at the same time.

And it's not just kerbs. They've got steps up to their front door? Can't use the dolly. Old flat/apartment without a lift? Can't use the dolly. Lift needs a key you don't have? Can't use the dolly. They've got a gravel path? Can't use the dolly. They've got a thick-bottomed UPVC door frame? Can't get the dolly through it. On a steep hill? Dolly will make things harder...

And it turns out, in a city like London, there are a great many buildings with one or more of these defects - and the worse the parking situation, the further away you park the van, the more kerbs and things you're likely to need to cross.

Hence, even though drivers are issued with dollies and trained in their use, many deliveries are made without the dollies because they don't make things all that much easier.
Maybe. As an anecdote, I see it as well in some of Elon Musks tweets, i.e. "I’m starting a candy company & it’s going to be amazing".
The argument is still false. You can very well get an advantage from vast amounts of data in similar domains. And more importantly you can have ML insights not possible without it. What if ImageNet was not open to the public? Would we get an AlexNet breakthrough?

Adding cookie data should be a big deal because if everything in the cookie is important valid reasons for needing more data (or less data) imply major architectural changes.

For example, after a merger in which two company websites should be integrated you might start with one simple cookie, transition quickly to two independent cookies on two domains, then use a cookie with two keys when the two sites have separate backends but the same domain, then eventually a cookie with a single key again after extensive replacements and reimplementations.
I am sort of a hobby linguist, though I do have some years of formal linguistics (and computational linguistics) education, which is why I was interested in your wild idea and how it relates to animal language. Are you using the term "generative" to describe your own specific meaning here? I'm asking because the term "generative" has a pretty specific definition in linguistics, and I have heard it used fairly loosely by some, but never in this way. And while I think your idea is interesting, I also think it is picking nits here. That animal language lacks some feature of human language doesn't make it any less true that humans and other animals both use language. I think this would be similar to saying that because animals don't build defensive positions that they aren't actually conducting warfare, and defensive positions are what make human warfare truly unique and thus humans differentiated in the animal kingdom. Purpose-built defensive positions are as fundamental to the most basic definition of warfare, as I am thinking this feature of language you describe is to the most basic definition of language. But nobody would say that chimpanzees do not conduct warfare. And so I would say that because animal language lacks a complex grammar that isn't a language. If that makes sense.

Intel Opens Up About Next Generation Omni-Path Interconnect
> I agree with you that we are often short-sighted and have non-sustainable practices. But the reason for making bad products is not that we can't - we absolutely can - its just that we are greedy.

Greedy for what, exactly? For moving money around and calling it "making money"? A greed to destroy, i.e. consume, more and more, instead of constructing better tools and tending to our corner of a veritable garden, shaping it to be actually more lush, rather than more grey? Greedier to make more and more of ourselves sellable, rather than growing as individuals and societies, and becoming more and more attuned to each other and the other lifeforms we depend on?

Where you see greed, I see people who have nothing and work on nothing but creating repellants and insulations that will make sure they will evermore have nothing. Like some giant, planet-wide vacuum pump. It certainly is not a lust for life, a greed for being skillful, and no greed on behalf of those who come after us, no greed to secure a sound and honest inheritance and legacy. There is no vitality in it, just excuses.

> Its like saying that because we haven't gone to the Moon in 40 years, we have forgotten and can't do it anymore. No, if someone wanted to do it

If someone remembered how to want it, for they first would have to overcome the crab mentality of the rest. That is, for actually important things like sustainability, for not trampling on the defenseless, for not leaving the elderly in the ditch, for not building empires and cities on mountains of bones -- not for stuff like "going to the moon".

Saying "we totally could" doesn't fly with me. If we could, we would. That it "would only take someone actually wanting it", doesn't help when nobody is able to want it.

> Its not hard, just something nobody wants to do.

How is that better, instead of worse? How is that more advanced, rather than regressive? How is that superior, rather than weaker?
Why would that help?

Let's take going to a salad bar or buffet. Many health rules say that only clean plates may be used. For example, from http://EzineArticles.com/1402314 :

> There must be clean plates and other tableware at or adjacent to the buffet or salad bar and customers should be reminded, or notified if need be, that only clean tableware is to be used when returning to the buffet.

Most restaurants are "set up for reuse", i.e, they wash the utensils, plates, and cups already. They are set up to do this wholesale, and there are health codes concerning the quality of the cleaning. Eg, quoting from https://www.oregon.gov/oha/ph/HealthyEnvironments/FoodSafety... :

> If hot water is used for sanitization in manual warewashing operations, the sanitizing compartment of the sink shall be: (A) Designed with an integral heating device that is capable of maintaining water at a temperature not less than 77oC (171 oF); Pf and (B) Provided with a rack or basket to allow complete immersion of equipment and utensils into the hot water.

This is enough to scald someone in a fraction of a second (see http://www.accuratebuilding.com/services/legal/charts/hot_wa... ).

The hot water temperature in most homes is under 120 degrees F.

If you have "washing stations for people to clean off their stuff", then it will either use chemical treatments, or it will be at too low a temperature to meet health standards, or it will require specialized equipment and time - who is going to wait, say, 5 minutes for their dirty dishes to go through a commercial dishwasher, get cleaned, and cool down again?

I just don't see the benefits or even practicality of what you propose.
As an individual authenticating callers is difficult.

I recently had someone claiming to be from the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) call and ask me to identify myself. Not surprising, my tax filing is overdue. I advised them as a security policy I do not give out PII to unauthenticated callers, asked for a reference number and a return phone number. The number I was given is not listed on the ATO website so I did not return the call. Found some forum posts claiming the number is for return callers who have a reference number. Still, if I can’t find the number listed on offical media I don’t call back.

I’m trying to think of a way the average person could authenticate a caller. I’m not security or technology expert so my knowledge in this area is limited.

Any ideas?
Great. Let's roll this out everywhere.

Actually it would be nice to do something about cigeratte butts too.

This is essentially how freedom of movement in Europe works.

As an EU citizen I was able to move to another EU country, rent a flat, and then within 3 months had to prove that I had income to pay tax/social contributions. On passing that interview you get residency rights and continued access to public services and healthcare; I am still a “guest”, but can effectively stay indefinitely as long as I keep contributing and don't break the law.

No. Simply that I've visited people (I'm from the US) who do that.
I would say "it depends".

Just as poor programmers came later from Visual Basic, or MSVC++ (somehow we went through a phase were everyone coming for interview with MSVC++ actually had C with classes, and for a while it was a warning sign and standing joke at the place I then worked). Getting people who claimed C++ who actually knew it was pretty challenging around the millennium.

In the 80s just about everyone who had an 8 bit started with BASIC, and an awful lot of them managed to go on to be perfectly acceptable programmers when they moved on to C, C++, assembler, and more recent languages, or even turned out a decent game in something like Blitz Basic on the Amiga. Then again there were some who couldn't move beyond BASIC, because it was simple enough almost everyone could piece something together with it - so even back then it was a warning like PHP can be today.

It's not age, and it's not BASIC - there's plenty of younger folks turning out abysmal code who've never been near it.

I wonder how I'd have turned out if I'd learnt C from one of this guy's books instead of K&R and having a couple of experts handy.

You write that "If you don't validate a cert, it means nothing". I should clarify that in this situation you get opportunistic encryption. I think you understood that, but the way it's phrased isn't clear. The situation is that we get secrecy, but we don't actually know who we're talking to since we didn't validate the cert. This genuinely is better than nothing.

If we were talking to a bad guy then we're screwed. But if we are talking to our intended recipient, even if their cert is bogus, our connection is protected from bad guys on the path. The bad guys can't choose later to access that communication after all, their only opportunity is to guess we're doing opportunistic encryption and intercept the original connection to play MitM, and if they guessed wrong their hand is shown by doing that.

This situation is unpalatable even for nation state adversaries like the NSA, because they would prefer not to be seen to be meddling. Even for something like the FSB, which scarcely cares if it's seen to be meddling, it does force them to make a decision they'd rather leave until after the fact. MitM everybody (and be known to do it) or leave them alone and maybe regret that later.
Interesting, but if you can fake a longer distance then you can't enforce a minimum physical distance. Perhaps you meant "maximum" ?
If they have no incentive to change then the tax is too low. A tax that's sufficiently high to offset all the externalities is better than a ban because it gives people more flexibility. If somebody is unusually harmed by a ban they might choose to pay the tax even if it's high. And tax is fungible, so the money can be used to prevent other sources of environmental damage, and the overall outcome is better than if it was banned outright.
But if you're using a formatter then it doesn't matter whether you use tabs, spaces, minimal whitespace, or any mix thereof because that's what the formatter is for.

Also if you're using a formatter then you can do the correct thing and use tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment, because the formatter will ensure that the output is consistent.
Damn, that's sad. I had a similar moment yesterday while thinking about Max Allen, the interviewer during that CBC show with Ted Nelson where they were talking about computers in 1979.

You are right of course. But because a trivial message has many "layers" of "messages", according to semantic theory, it's often a single lie in a whole message packet.

I did learn BASIC first, but then Pascal and in college and from books very soon learned the foundations of structured programming. It was an instant aha! since as soon as you write anything but trivial programs, you feel you need functions.

What I find disturbing is that author thought every language was the same save a few keywords, and then publisher was happy to put that crap to print.
As mentioned by others, sweepstakes sponsors are required to report prizes awarded to US residents to the IRS if the value is $600 or more. For tax purposes some also choose report prizes of lower values especially if they are giving away lots of them that equal substantial value businesses expense out.

I thought it was only the 15k prizes above gift tax but it was actually any prize for tax tracking. Lots of people balked when the SSN question came up and understandably so. In a few cases the prizes were motorcycles and ATVs and I felt bad for the people that passed them up.

The promotions systems were brand focused and most of them really did want to give away the prizes but sometimes it was tasking due to the fear of a scam.

The entries were mainly for brand focused games and brand focused gear/prizes mostly marketing focused. The system also only asked for email and the opt-in for the company/brand loot running it was un-selected. Though the brand companies did want to collect emails of people interested in the brand, they had to opt-in for that. We mainly needed emails for contacting if the user won. After winning, names/SSN/location would be asked for but lots of people weren't having it.
A decade ago I would have thought your comment was over the top. Then I moved to Germany. And was surprised to find an utter lack of spammy phone calls, no crowd of ubiquitous scammers vying for my attention, no surprise mystery medical bills, nothing. I was with my German girlfriend in a department store once, she tore a little slip off the stockings she was buying, put her name and email on it, and dropped it into a jug by the cash register. I gave her a "were you born yesterday" look and asked if she hadn't yet learned that these things are all scams. She had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. A month later we won an all expenses paid trip to a resort in Turkey, it was on the tacky side but also the height of luxury and relaxation. All the stocking brand wanted from us in return was a few happy selfies to post on their Twitter account.

If more Americans knew that it doesn't have to be this way, maybe things could change.
Please don't put words in my mouth. I am capable of speaking for myself.

Turning to the substance of your reply: I view "obligated" as meaning a moral duty, or at least a societal "should". That's different from "it would benefit me". Obligations, in fact, are often things that don't benefit you, but that you have to do anyway.
Thanks! I had no idea about that project.
This doesn't surprise me really. When I was at university the programming textbooks we had were vile nasty and plainly incorrect. And those of us who dared challenge it by writing correct, robust code were penalised as the staff teaching it didn't understand the domain of what they were teaching properly and didn't have any real experience and assumed we were doing it wrong. We learned quickly to approach education with a high level of scepticism and get your info from more than one source (textbook) and find out which ones were reputable and which ones were garbage.

Basically there was a monolith in the middle of the course, a crap textbook, and monkeys were praying to it as the authority on everything.
My experience is that there needs to be a special attorney that oversees the selection of the winner.
