The disaster is going to be when/as every state adopts unique privacy legislation.

It's going to be necessary for the US Congress to override these state-based rules using the Commerce Clause, FCC, and FTC, to takeover responsibility for legislating all digital privacy matters on the basis of its impact on interstate commerce and the FCC's overarching control of nearly anything involving electronic communication.

It won't be practical or reasonable to track users across every state and their movements at all times. People that happen to cross a state line and the need to somehow magically identify their location of origin, and all the blah blah shit that goes with that nightmare. California (or any given state) will probably claim their law applies to California residents at all times, and states will claim their laws apply if you're in their state at any point, enter the conflicting nightmare.

Here's also where GDPR's global enforcement proponents should get pretty excited: being consistent with that premise, now all of the EU has to comply with all privacy laws of all 50 US states, to the extent that they have users from the states. So EU companies will have to implement and maintain dozens of privacy schemes to fit all of the US states (as they each roll out unique privacy legislation). That glorious global enforcement. The world must now adopt all US policies. That's how it works according to GDPR proponents, right?

Instead of the Web of insanity that that 50 state disaster will spin, the Feds will ideally smother all state attempts at establishing their own privacy frameworks, establish Federal regulations on the matter and overrule the states aggressively.

Vim can be great for quickly doing tedious text transformations. Far easier to get right than doing it the 'proper way' with a script in Python/Perl/whatever.

To do something like scan through a JSON or XML document and split a 'name' field/tag into 'firstName'/'lastName', Vim is the tool I'd reach for.

I think of it as 'cursor-oriented programming', but what I do with it isn't really programming, it's generally of the pattern of 1. Find start of pattern 2. Transform pattern 3. GOTO 1

Or at worst, the decorate/sort/undecorate pattern.

But it boils down to repeatedly applying a macro.

>> It's probably because you have the NHS and socialized medicine, which would probably house the mentally ill homeless in some sort of mental hospital?

Unfortunately not. Mental illness is rampant among the homeless population. And, to be honest, even the most "normal" people will develop mental illness once forced to live on the streets for long enough.

Generally regarding the NHS and mental health, the subject is very controversial. Resources are continuously slashed and the care available is not adequate, in many parts of the country.

If homeless people on buses are a problem where you live, that has nothing to do with public transport in general

It has everything to do with public transportation policy.

Example: VTA (Santa Clara County). They started allowing "homeless" to just hang out on a given long route bus all day, recirculating directions, so they could claim higher ridership. Of course, the real-world effect is that those people who would have used buses for legitimate transportation were displaced, and a death spiral of constantly falling legitimate ridership continues.

VTA's explanations (paraphrased):

2005-2008: "oh, so many more people are employed, they can afford to drive" (or, more realistic, they need prompt, reliable transportation).

2009-2012: "oh, so many people are out if work, they don't need buses to get to work"

2013+: GO TO 2005

I think the implicit cultural rule is, you can exploit anyone who stands lower on the society ladder, but you cannot cut into the profits of people more powerful. Thus insider trading is punished, breaching millions sensitive consumer records is not.

This is probably not going to change anytime soon, it goes much deeper than maintaining security.
You can enrich err.Error(), but when you do you lose the type of the original error and any other fields it may have had. This is something the language can and should do more reliably (i.e., sugar could mutate err.Error() and prepend "MyStruct.myMethod failed: ", or better yet add a damn stack trace).

Last I read, Tesla is holding $985MM in customer deposits. [1] Now they are asking for, I'm assuming, full payment for cars starting at $48,000. However, the soonest one can be delivered is in "two to four months" and that's only for the trim that starts at $64,000. Plus there are now quite a few options costing in the thousands.

For every 10,000 customers that place an order of the, likely, several hundred thousand current deposit holders, that's somewhere around $600 MM in additional customer money that Tesla would be holding. For every 10,000 customers. But that money won't deliver a physical product for months.

Is this a play to make billions more in deposit money? Is this how they plan to take no more investment/debt this year?

Is there anyone on the list looking to buy one that can confirm if this requires full payment?

EDIT: Apparently, the ask is for an additional $2,500. [2] That would make $25MM per 10,000 customers that place an order.

Putting forth the additional $2,500 also removes the ability for you receive a refund of the original $1,000 deposit if you do not cancel within three days.

The Euro has caused their debt to appreciate, so now they owe more money in real terms because the currency doubled in value. Meanwhile, Germany is able to export their goods without any currency risk. And now you have another layer of bureaucracy. The real issue is that when they created the Euro, they failed to consolidate the debt of all the nations. It's only a matter of time before the whole thing collapses.

Why would you be worried about the "nasty things Goto can do" in an assembly language? IMO assemblies are about exposing the underlying machine's capabilities (be it physical or virtual) in the most straightforward way possible. I don't expect an elegant abstraction, I leave that to the higher level languages.

I don't know much about WebAssembly so I don't know if gotos have a place or not but if they're useful and the only reason for not adding them is cargo-culting "gotos are teh 3v1l" it's a bit silly.

Can't. People require a particular amount of support, your marketing costs scale with product sold, and international shipping costs can't get any cheaper. The baseline is not much less for Behringer as it is any reputable modular manufacturer. What they do instead is reduce the parts, manufacturing, and R&D/unit cost, but they're still restricted from going below $50-100/unit even if they could magically clone modules.
Yes, I read the article. It was extremely unclear what you were asking, and it's definitely not the case that a full payment is required.

Nobody comes even close to understanding the full complexity and effects of what they're doing or saying. I guess we could say that each one of us is more or less rational, but treating it as a binary feature would be hard to defend in practice.

>The real issue is that when they created the Euro, they failed to consolidate the debt of all the nations.

No one failed, we just didn't want to (for reasons very obvious now, in hindsight).

Also, the countries (Spain, Greece, Portugal...) accumulated most of the debt _after_ they got the Euro precisely because the Euro enabled them to do so.

In a general manner when you have a complex function you want to minimize to obtain your parameters. One way to proceed is to assume some initial parameters and refine them. To refine them, you locally approximate your function, get the minimum of the approximation, take a step toward this minimum and loop until convergence.

At first order you can approximate locally your function as a plane (the plane that go through the point and has the same first derivative), and to minimize that you take a small step (because your approximation is only valid locally) in the direction where the plane is inclined.

Alternatively you can make a better approximation of your function using higher order derivatives. So instead of approximating your function with a plane, you approximate it with a quadratic form (the multidimensional extension of the parabola). This quadratic form matches the first derivatives and also the Hessian (second derivatives in multi-dimension) of your function at your current parameters.

Once you have the approximation, there are closed formula for the minimum of the quadratic form so you can directly jump closer to the result (but how it will perform will depend how close your function resemble your approximation).

When to pick first order approximation or second order approximation is problem dependent, but a quick rule of thumb is second order is faster when close to the solution but consume memory quadratically with respect to the number of dimension so is only applicable when the dimension is low, or when you have problem specific simplifications like your problem being a sum of squares.

In practice interesting problem are too big and first order method is all you can do. But you can also improve things a little by approximating the diagonal of the Hessian, or some low-rank approximation of the Hessian. (This is another tractable kind of approximation of your function). You can also make some probabilistic approximation of your function (only considering a few examples instead of the whole training set) and from that you can derive all "on-line" methods, but this is a story for another day.

> Now they are asking for, I'm assuming, full payment for cars starting at $48,000

A quick searched reveled that the final payment is due at delivery, or shortly before deilivery [1].

When you finalize configuration, Tesla asks you for a $2500 non refundable deposit (although I have heard that they refund it in some circumstances as a matter of goodwill). This deposit is the same for all models even the Model 3, as stated here [2]:

> And finally when you’re ready to place your order, a deposit of $2,500 is required which isn’t any different than placing an online order for a Model S or Model X.

The only thing I cannot tell you is if the initial deposit counts toward the 2500 deposit or the final price. So Tesla doesn’t get billions in deposits and doing that would probably cause a lot of logistical problems and the media would scream that they are scamming customers and only do that because they are about to go bankrupt.

The think about being 'rational' is that you can rationalize just about anything. It's like the balance of exploration and exploitation in CS...the exploitation is the 'rational' and the exploration is taking a chance at something more by being 'irrational.'

True, so maybe my statement "decades away" is overly pessimistic.

On the other hand, we are getting closer to the physical limits of our current semiconductor technologies, so the future growth rate may be less than the past. Which might make my "decades away" statement more true.

A benevolent dictator does have its advantages. For example being able to determine a culture until it's proven and critical mass makes it unlikely to change. It's comparable to the eternal September problem.

Say some 'hippies' try to bootstrap a city that's very walkable and people flock to it because they want to live in such a city. But it takes a while to get used to a new situation and during that time it's very easy to say "I like to walk to the shops, but I'm used to doing my groceries once a week, so allow me to use my car for that." Before you know the 'short-sighted yuppies' overwhelm the 'stubborn hippies' and cars are allowed everywhere one exception at a time.

The biggest disadvantages of a dictator are overcome by being able to move easily and the city being part of the larger legal framework of the country it's in.
