> I think chargebacks for credit cards are needed, because their model is based on trust. You give your credit card number to the seller und you have to trust that he pulls only the amount he promised he would pull.

I've initiated chargebacks before, but overwhelmingly it's not because I've been overcharged (that only happened once and, ironically, by a company that subsequently launched an ICO...): It's because I did not receive the product/service, or it wasn't as advertised.

And that is just as much of an issue with crypto.

Keep in mind, in many cases the standard advise to consumers is to use credit, NOT cash, purely to be able to obtain the protections of chargebacks, but cash already has all the advantages you list as meaning chargebacks aren't needed for crypto.
How old is this blog? There's a mysterious absence of any dates on any single page and even the comments don't have dates/times.

Merely supposition, but the way he talks mainly about 2003/2007 and only briefly mentions 2010 suggests it was written quite some time ago (I'd hazard a guess at say 2011). It's on shakier ground to guess based on the Excel styling but they look distinctly 2005!
Yeah, the research is pretty clear on this. From https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3447048/:

It seems simple, but the claim (not mine) was that the theorum states that since you are only choosing "once" you can't use an estimation, as that is based on collected data... which somehow doesn't exist or apply to you.

The reason is that somehow there are no odds/percentages/probabilities if there is only one instance of an event, or at least they don't change. (ie, 2 door, always 1 in 2 odds, period)

Normally I wouldn't detract from a thread like this, but participation seems low, so I can take the down votes in hopes of getting a response that helps me with this conundrum.

They haven't shown that yet. They've shown that they can push 5000 cars out of the factory gates.

Pushing a car out of the factory gates is not equivalent to assembling a car.
There is no "not playing the game." Exit the game and find yourself simultaneously entering a larger meta-game with the exact same social dynamics at play -- and this time it's even harder because you have even less knowledge of the game's mechanics.

There is no winning, there is no losing, and there is no exiting the game without simultaneously entering a larger game that is even harder to comprehend. There is only play.

What role do you choose? That's the only relevant question. You've already chosen a role unconsciously, and changing that role starts with conscious effort but must continue with years of unconscious functioning until you no longer recognize what you once considered to be "you." You look back and realize that one role is just as good as another, and the power of choice that felt so good to exert at the time holds zero value to look back and reflect upon. The MOPlike narcissism that fueled your choice has been obliterated and there is no narcissistic fuel left in your tank even to feel proud of your role-switching retroactively.

Is the effort of choosing a new role for yourself worth the cost of assuming that role and rendering your prior role meaningless? Doubtful IMO. Few can change roles at all, and those who do neither regret nor relish their choice — they simply look back on the choice that once felt so good to make and go "Huh. I chose that once. Okay."

Again: There is no winning, there is no losing, and there is no exiting the game without simultaneously entering a larger game that is even harder to comprehend. There is only play. You can switch roles within that play if you want, but the cost is non-zero and the benefit could be precisely zero.

Good luck.
To a first approximation, incarceration rate is equal to rate of crimes times percent reported to police times percent of solved cases times prosecution rate times sentence length.

Not even close. For one, Waymo has offices in Detroit for obvious reasons. Ann Arbor offers direct connection to University of Michigan and proximity to Detroit and local airports.

In fact, the status effect difference between Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids is a perfect example of my point. What differentiates the two places when thinking of where to locate a new campus? Exactly status effects and network effects from secondary status effects. The talent pool in the two places and costs of living, etc., are not meaningfully different. The choice is down to what places carry a premium in status that is more attractive to workers.
Social Darwinism or anything like that has never been appointed as the one and only TRUE THING with scientific opponents sent off to labor camps.

Also, soviet high elementary through high school education was... I'm not sure if "better" is the correct word, but it certainly taught more science than American schools do, if we compare average American school with a good school in Moscow, Leningrad, or similar large cities.

College level education in USSR was nowhere near as good as American -- you can't have good education if teaching people to think for themselves is physically dangerous.

Does this comment deserve a downvote? I think he's asking a genuine question.
I didn't say it wouldn't be difficult, I said it would not be impossible. How badly do you want the money? How badly do you want to do the project? If the answer is really badly, then, from personal experience, you will put up with some friction. If the answer is not that badly, well, then, how angry can you be when you said no? In my own career I've made decisions that go either way at different times.

My ideal funding model is to have someone slide a manilla envelope full of cash under the door every month, and never speak to me or compel me to do anything. There are not that many opportunities like that out there. If you can't find one of those, you're going to compromise.

Gamers don't judge a game based on its financial performance. They say "is this fun and do I want to continue playing it?"

They decided no with D3, as did I (I played D2 for probably 7 years...)

How else would you judge a piece of art besides "I personally didn't like it?"

It would be seriously lame to like a game just because it made money or some critic told you to.
Not necessarily. Other cities build more than others. It's a function of built in incentives and legal laws the enable the bad behavior, and california has a particularly bad case of it.

For a quick comparison, look at seattle vs sf. Seattle had similar issues and dealt with it in a far better manner, not wanting to become another SF. They still have issues, true, but the price increase hasn't been as dramatic, and highrises were allowed to be built.
They aren't making, they are pushing out of the factory.

Each one of those cars could have taken 2 months to assemble, and they've just been waiting to finish and push it out.

Without more data, the 5000 cars out of the gate number is irrelevant.

Decentralization is great for disrupting existing incumbents, and has the added benefit of creating an opportunity for a company to re-centralize the culture. GitHub is a great example of this, as are the many attempts to chip away at email
I don't see a strong reason for a software developer to need a phone:

- Async communication (slack/email) can be checked at your computer.

- Voice calls are usually done with your computer anyway.

- If you are on call, an old-fashioned pager can be used.

Frankly, although I do have a smartphone, I wouldn't want a job where I was required to use it, or one where I was expected to be available at all times unless on call.
The weather is bad there.. That actually is an important factor.
It's an interesting question: is there value to certificate identity verification ?

Apple's App Store for example demands that companies wanting to publish apps have to undergo a verification process using a DUNS number. And this has been useful for example in resolving trademark and DMCA disputes. But not really sure if it's improved security in any way.

It's always the next thing that Musk won't achieve. It's funny how people are constantly moving the goalpost after every success he has.

I believe Tim Peters was trained as a mathematician. He is good at analyzing algorithms. Often he will post on the Python lists about the subtleties of floating point behavior. As you say, he read a much of recent research on sorting before coming up with TimSort.

>Somehow rote economic prosperity is not sufficient to make everyone up and move or there wouldn't be an American Samoa.

Probably those Samoans don't assume that they would be welcomed and be making $58K in California. More likely they'd join the millions of piss poor latinos, just without their families and old communities.

And still, with a Samoa population of 200K, there are 100K Samoan immigrants in the US and 150K in New Zealand. Most of the Samoan population (400K) live outside the country.

I'm not a statistician but as I understand it, in Bayesian terms, when you get some new piece of information you must update your beliefs to incorporate the new information. So you take your belief prior to the new information and incorporate the new information to get your updated belief.
For a more localized version, the entire existence of Hollywood happened because the industry wanted to avoid Edison's patent enforcement, and it was hard to enforce lawsuits on the other side of the country.

For me it's not really the IP theft, and more the lack of an equal playing field for foreign companies in China. If foreign companies can't get the same effective rights as local ones do, then those other countries should give the same restrictions to chinese companies in their locales.
A subtle advantage of having a macro system is that you only pay the price of having unconventional syntax if you opt into it. You can keep the core language small and push weird syntax into macros, which can be imported like libraries.

The core language of Clojure is pretty small and simple compared with most other languages.
silicon valley and stripe don't live in a bubble separate from the rest of the world. The credit card processing rules against file sharing sites like Bitchute were imposed by visa et al several years ago. They sent out a notice to everyone years ago.. I remember reading it. It really is out of stripe's hands if stripe wants to stay in business.

If you want to start a company like that you can't use credit cards. They have to use bitcoin, etc. These were the rules years before Bitchute even wrote the first line of their code.
The United States imported Africans as slaves for 100+ years. While some flair ups occured, black people never fully revolted into a situation that could be called a civil war. The US Civil War was fought over slavery, but it was fought between the North and the South, not black vs. white.

Ditto on Chinese immigrants in the later 1800s, Germans, etc. The point is that immigrants are always a minority in their host country, so they naturally have less of a base and thus power.
I summed all the numbers in each row, which gives 35, 31, 29, 28, 38

Actually, it'll start just few days after the death. When last emperor died on 1989-01-07, that was the end of Syowa 64, then Heisei 1st (called Gan-nen 元年 instead of 1st) started on 1989-01-08.

Committee starts the plan of determining new era name well in advance when this is about to happen, so this is determined a several months in advance.

With this transition that taking place next year, I hear many of engineers are very annoyed for the fact they are withholding announcement of this just a month before it is changing, for the publicly stated reasoning of to "not ruin the surprise."

You need to get the PPS to some other device, then it could be done. The whole GPS stratum 1 thing is mostly just PPS. You get the correct time with ntp, and the start of a second with the PPS from the GPS.
Ha, funny you should mention that. I am in fact looking for a job. Luckily the one interview I've had since losing the phone was on-site.

If I need to participate in on-call rotation or similar, I expect the employer to issue a phone. For a remote job, I will obviously get one myself -- but then strictly for job-related activities.

(by the way, if anyone is looking for an experienced infrastructure engineer/"DevOps" guy, give me a cal...errh email)
Bayesian statistics is a way of updating your beliefs about the value of some unknown number (or value) after doing an experiment. You have to be uncertain about some variable, and then you work backwards to figure out its value.

In the case of the Monty Hall problem, we have a complete understanding of what's going on, so there are no beliefs to update. There are no hidden rules or magic numbers we haven't been told about and we need to work out. You literally can't use Bayesian statistics if you understand a system completely.

Also, Bayesian statistics is a tool. It's not a law of nature. It can get the wrong answers. There is literally no guarantee that you will get the right answer when using it. Garbage In Garbage Out. It's just that there are cases where, empirically, it can be useful.

No need for data connection, which can be (more) expensive and energy intensive. The phone can be in deep sleep, consuming nothing, and yet deliver texts in a timely manner.
Sometimes in bad network conditions, texts work while calls and data fail.

Some pitfalls are reliability and lack of encryption and usually requiring a phone (which almost requires running non free today in practice, and having an entity knowing your position at all time and exposition to electromagnetic waves)

In France texts are usually unlimited in any offer, starting at 2€

Yawn. You know Tesla isn’t just a car company, right? They are an energy company as well. They have people building out the supercharger network. Software engineers writing autopilot software. Employees working at Tesla sales centers. Tesla is not structured like a traditional automaker. Stop trying to compare with false metrics.
For as long as the release is supported you can use syspatch(8). They also appear to provide serial console access on request so you can perform a release upgrade via the recommended bsd.rd (RAMDISK) kernel method.

It wouldn't make any sense to adjust the salaries for inflation would it? Only if salaries were moving up with inflation, and they're not. Haven't been for decades, I thought that was across the board.
It will just result in delayed sales.

I know two people who withdrew their Tesla Model 3 reservations due to them failing to meet a deadline. Their reasoning was that they'd like to buy a Tesla, but if they need to wait years for it, they prefer to get a nice car to drive in the meantime. The longer the delays are, the more people will give up.

My question is who R&D's these cars at the limits of adhesion? Every single auto maker track tests their cars using real racing drivers who understand vehicle dynamics and can comfortably drive street cars on the limit, and over it. Track testing ensures a car is safe for the average driver, who has no idea that the throttle steers the back of the car-to give just one example.

How will these cars behave when little Jimmy rides his bike in front of them and they have to execute evasive maneuvers?

I hope someone who has a clue about driving was seriously involved with the handling characteristics, otherwise who knows how these cars will behave.
I certainly don't think it's odd to take appliances that you own with you when you move to a new apartment without appliances. My point is that my experience everywhere else I've lived is that the landlord owns the appliances and renters just use whatever appliances come with the unit.

Radical new technologies are generally based on scientific understanding that is the product of many decades of government-funded research.

Also many new technologies were first developed by the military, such as the internet, the jet engine, sonar, nuclear power, the computer, and space rockets.

Alas, the Republicans, who have an economic philosophy similar to yours, have been slashing government support of science, and so we can expect to fall behind the Chinese in it in the coming decades.

> If the concern is leaks, defense contractors like Galois might be able to get DARPA to change that policy.

I don't think any one thing at either the DARPA or Galois level can change this policy. It's a question of whether or not you are doing fundamental research, i.e. are you a 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3 program. If you want to do fundamental research on an applied research contract, you're going to have a bad time.

> Anyone with DARPA or Defense experience think this proposal has a good chance of working?

Frankly, no. This is a technical solution to a problem that is much deeper.

How does having a compartmented mode workstation help with this problem? Let's say that there's the main fork A and the private fork B. Someone comes up with a sensitive change to B that is, I dunno, about 50 lines. Someone else working on both A and B sees this change to B and they think oh hey, I could do something similar in A, so they write, from scratch, a similar change and commit it to A. They do this without having any file cross any isolation boundary, they just type stuff with their fingers.

>With the free market in the EU why has the whole population of Greece not yet moved to Germany or France for the opportunity?

Those who could (spoke German or English, had degrees, had no prospects in Greece, had connections abroad, etc), that is, around 500000, have already immigrated in the last 10 years.

That would be like 16 million Americans leaving the US in a decade, including most 20-40 with a degree. That's on top of two millions or so that immigrated out of Greece in the 20th century.

Not everybody left, because there are benefits (cultural and otherwise, like the climate), that they don't want to miss, they have strong family ties (including a strong culture of taking care of their parents), they have houses and property here (and would have to start from nothing abroad, and they have no degrees. Last, but not least, the civil servants (close to 20% of the population with their nuclear families) still have jobs, while 2 million others (out of 10) are too old to go anywhere and start any career abroad (50+, pensioners, etc).
