That’s not what happened. It wasn’t poor people who caused most of the defaults - it was investors working with mortgage brokers, real estate agents, and appraisers who were all part of the take. Poor people weren’t doing most of the no doc/negative interest or other types of “non conforming mortgages”. The investors walked away, did strategic defaults, and were free and clear within 3 years - ask me how I know....
Hi there - neat project! I'm always interested in open hardware for cryptography, so thanks for contributing to the space. :) That said, this quote concerns me:

>The SC4-HSM is designed to defend against a compromised client machine, i.e. an attacker who pwns your laptop or desktop machine. If you think about it, this is the only threat model that makes sense for dedicated secure hardware. If you can trust that your client machine is secure, you don't need an HSM.

From my prospective, that's the bare minimum threat model for an open secure hardware device. I also include unsupervised physical access to the device. My ideal HSM would also provide robust protections against a myriad of complex hardware-level attacks - JTAG debugging, power & RF analysis, glitching, de-encapsulation just to name a few.

Of course, a cheaper HSM which lacks advanced hardware level protections can still offer a lot of protection against common threat vectors, and physical access threats can be mitigated to some extent by keeping the device in a secure location or on your person.
If you have an independent local ISP, use them!

In SF both Monkey Brains and Sonic are excellent, pro-Net-Neutrality, pro-privacy ISPs who offer non-exploitative contracts for internet access which is unfiltered, blazingly fast, and incredibly cheap!
FODMAP is an elimination diet that's meant to be a base into which you can reintroduce food types in a controlled manner (thus figuring out your specific must-avoid foods).

It's totally doable for medium durations and meant to be amended / tweaked.
I thing a larger factor is the Mormon Church/Mormon population. Utah has some strangely progressive economic policies like housing-first solutions to homelessness. Utah is a red state for sure, especially when it comes to social policies, but has the 'community' orientation that another commenter mentioned that public transit falls neatly in to.
It always seemed odd to me that the card readers are owned by the retailer. On the one hand, that leads to a lot of old or insecure-by-design equipment in circulation as 'not worth the cost to replace", and on the other hand, it tends to lead to a lot of annoying spam calls of "we'll replace your machine if you switch your payment processing to our company."

If the upstream providers provded the readers as a leased service instead-- maybe for a few dollars a month-- they could push out insecure gear in a timely manner more aggressively. Just reject connections from old devices because everyone renting the old model has been sent a new one already. It would also eliminate the price of equipment upgrades as a leverage for competitors to peel off customers.

From what I can tell, the machines are fairly locked to the service providers, and require fairly intensive setup, so it's not necessarily like an unlocked phone where you'd save money by buying a device independently of the service.
The government didn’t push subprime loans. Subprime loans were by definition “non comforming loans” that were not backed by any government institution like FHA or Fannie Mae.

How does jupyter handle embedded data? I've found org mode to be fantastic for opening "literate debugging" of bugs, and being able to do things like embed sql to show the relevant data. My only frustration is that the data get's embedded in the document, I'd prefer it to be a "virtual" element.
I’m close with someone who actively keeps her address from public records to keep an old stalker from finding her.

The psychological effect of having someone treat you like an object, repeatedly hunt you down after moves, and gaslight you/landlords/cops into believing it’s not happening is harmful as it is—let alone the not-so-unlikely chance that someone with this high degree of intelligence and mental health issues will physically hurt you if they find you.

There’s not much you can do besides a paper restraining order. By the time the cops come it’s too late.

This possibility is a very real part of many people’s lives, but maybe less talked about with men like me because statistically female victims are more common.
Unfortunately, the UC-2000 seems to have a 1.5-year battery life, so your extrapolated 2044 watch will only work for 6 minutes before needing charged. :-)

Ok but wrongfully imprisoned by what standard? To get an indictment, they already had to show probable cause to a grand jury. A not guilty verdict does not mean innocence, and by the civil preponderance of evidence standard, they would already be liable.
That's more or less it on the dot!

Edit: I'd add that type 2 is associated with increasing insulin resistance, causing the pancreas to work harder. Over time, this can cause the pancreas to essentially burn out, at which point exogenous insulin would be needed. Type 2 diabetics who are able to manage the associated risks - namely diet and exercise, almost universally focused on losing weight - can often improve or even reverse the disease altogether.

I'll also add that this is not the entire discussion of diabetes. There's an increasing recognition of forms of diabetes outside of the known definition of type 1 and type 2. A so-called "type 1.5" is being further delineated and may explain why some type 2s don't behave the way we think they should.

I am very sorry to hear that. I bought his book The Psychology of Computer Programming in the 70s when I was just getting started in my career. That book and some of his more recent work really had a positive influence on my life. Jerry, you will be missed.
Being “underwater” is not about buying less than you can afford. It’s about when you get ready to sell, the house is worth less than you owe if you have to move.

My mortgage is less than 25% of our net pay, but if it fell in value to a point where it was worth less than $50K what we owed on it and we had to move, we would be in trouble.
There's no laziness or boneheadedness involved. Without the AMP carousel, making a fast website is a bad business decision. With the carousel, it's a good one.

The usability of your site just doesn't really matter if your business is to get traffic from Google and monetize it, which is what we are talking about here.

Anyone used the commercial firewall / IP list you can slap on top of pfSense?

There is the community version, but then there is also this: https://www.proofpoint.com/us/threat-insight/et-pro-ruleset

My understanding is it’s around $900 or so a year for a license. That kind of sucks. But on the other hand I know it’s very easy to install, just a one-liner in the GUI of pfSense (which is how I found out about it).
Yes, that’s another excuse that will inevitably be fielded: that those are “market” terms. It was tried in my case. Miraculously I ended up getting everything I wanted the moment I told them I was going to leave. Now, my negotiating position was unusually strong, and normally I wouldn’t get everything I wanted, but “market” is such a bullshit excuse in the case of early, core employees that it should be dismissed out of hand. Truly “market” terms are what you manage to negotiate. That having been said I didn’t actually request anything extraordinary.
Knowing about the donations helps, but some have suggested we forego the idea of donations in the first place. It’s hard to see how it could be called a democracy when some people can donate millions to prop up a candidate. We can all watch and say “yep, they got a big donation”, but they’re still going to out find a candidate who represents the people against the moneyed interests. Perhaps not in all cases but the donations really slew the system.
There's also "The Book of Why", which is a pop-sci-ish book by Pearl and Dana Mackenzie. It contained just enough math and examples to get me really excited for causal inference, so I just bought "Causal inference in statistics" to see the theory in detail. If you want to learn what causal inference is about, but don't necessarily want to wade through a textbook immediately, I highly recommend "The Book of Why".

Apps are marketed and given away for free to collect data on how to influence children. In many cases they're designed to be habit forming or addicting.
Who cares how much money they spend on public ads? On the other hand, it's easy to understand why people care about how much money is donated to the campaigns of the politicians that will make these decisions.

You are definitely coming off as biased which to me is strange. Maybe Uber isn’t a saint of a company, but thinking that bribery is somehow morally equivalent to advertising (whatever the multiple) is very odd.
>It is astonishing how hard it can be to internally sell any kind of web quality features to management in both for profit and non-profit organizations.

In my experience it's next to impossible. We have a bunch of inefficient bloated legacy shit that barely works and we spend most of our time bug fixing. Yet we keep adding to it while hiring more and more people to fix the increasing amount of bugs.

The police? That sounds like a very ineffective solution. People aren't safe because of the police, they're safe because of the trustworthiness of their neighbors. The police can't be there to intercept most crimes; instead they show up to write a report post-fact. But at that point, you're calling the police for documentation of a crime for insurance.

Police can't be there to intercept the metaphorical brick through your window. The reason why we feel safe walking outside everyday is because of the fabric of trust in our community.

I'm hoping that once self driving cars become common, we can remove parking spaces and replace them with protected bike lanes. A while back I bought an electric bike to ride around Boston, but I quickly returned it because I didn't want to end up as a splatter on the side of the road. Self-driving cars can't come soon enough.
Fair enough. I meant more the operational tier that oversaw this rather than scrap buildings and general staff. But realistically, you'd hope there are alternative educators that can step in and provide a better, fairer service.
From a 2013 [1] paper, one obstacle may be getting the government or private insurance to pay for it outside of type I DM. Exceptions noted were France and Israel. In the U.S. only an exceedingly limited percentage of patients would be able to pay for the device and long-term supplies out of pocket. Until that changes, there may be little motivation for widespread adoption (until for example a large study is published in NEJM or JAMA showing extreme benefit).

Many patients are able to achieve stable control of their glucose and HbA1c on metformin (Glucophage) alone. However especially for type II DM patient needing insulin, finely controlling glucose levels might reduce long term risks as mentioned above and in the paper [1], and a pump might indeed be far superior to the typical injected insulin regimen. Interestingly, there are trials on clinicaltrials.gov about pumps in type 2 DM sponsored by MedTronic (which makes sense) [2].

As a disclaimer, I am not an endocrinologist or internal medicine guy at all.

Sonic quality depends on the quality of the AT&T wiring to your home. At my old house in Oakland, Sonic meant 3mbit DSL because AT&T had not updated the old twisted pair. It meant I bailed and signed up for Comcast.

My new place in San Jose has fiber to the premise, so I signed up for Sonic again. Good bandwidth, Rock solid service.
Cooking with gas doesn't release much particulate matter, but it does release volatile organic compounds. Most of it seems to be from the food itself; if you can smell it then there's stuff in the air. Any cooking involving oil seems to be the worst offender.
Look, I don't know what to say. How is it disingenuous when it is the very meaning of the word? Now matter how you slice it, bitcoin is no longer a majority of whatever metric you use to measure crypto assets.
FYI if they enter the final amount incorrectly you can dispute the charge with your credit card provider. It's probably a stronger case if you kept your own copy with the final amount that you wrote down.

> You are not making flashcards and you are not memorizing the answers. You are making quizzes and you are using Anki to check whether you are able to solve them. At least, that's what I hope.

I think you have this weird idea that flash cards are only good for memorizing the things written on them.

That's a really limiting, and false, idea.

A flash card is just a pairing of a specific question with a specific answer. How you use that simple framework is up to you.

I used them for trig identities. That was straight memorization.

I also used them for proofs. As in 'Prove every edge in G^k is a walk of length k in G'. Then I'd work through the proof, and check my answer against the one on the other side. That's not memorization.

It's still flashcards though.
I don't understand why road taxes aren't used to pay for free public transport. The more people on public transport the more room for cars.
As usual, this looks like a half-baked implementation of BRT. They get many things right, including articulated buses, off-vehicle ticket purchase, and raised platforms. However, like most BRT systems in the US, it fails on the most important metric: dedicated lanes. Only half of the route is in exclusive lanes, which means the half the time buses will be fighting traffic.

Instead, we should be aiming to build more BRT like the Orange Line in Los Angeles[0], which operates completely in dedicated lanes.

I sometimes feel like I should sell a consultancy selling EVaaS - External Validation as a Service. :)

I've been fortunate to spend my career working at sane companies, but I've talked to so many people who were in situations where management wouldn't listen to their own staff, but then turned around and listened to (and implemented) the exact same recommendations when they were made by a consultant.

I know there are often valid reasons for this, and external validation can be important. But it sure must be frustrating as hell to see your company pay $25+k to receive a list of recommendations you already made.
Well, there is certainly some amount where the wrong kind of life takes over. It is way over what cargo ships throw around, but people have been polluting some parts of the ocean with too much sulfates.
Are they actually allowed to do that, or is there a regulation preventing it?
That is the general characterization, though insulin is prescribed for some "type 2" patients, so the situation is more subtle than that.
I’m not sure that the “rockstar” concept is dead. The top spaces are just being shared among fewer performers. And more of the business is trickling towards them than the smaller acts than yesterday, and the same will be true tomorrow. It’s been going that way since they started printing sheet music. As distribution (of pretty much any product) becomes more efficient, it’s easier for the most marketable acts to become well known outside of their original region, and when that happens they’ll take over a lot of market share from the local guys in other regions.

Music is the type of field where everyone and their brother gives it a go, and so the market is very, very deep. But most of it lacks the mass appeal needed to cause viralality. Today more than ever, it’s possible for marketable acts to catch on in a big way. And the big acts do really, really well. But that’s always been the case. In music as in other similarly competitive fields (professional sports, acting, startups, writing novels) being average means that you basically aren’t making a living, whereas the top people are really raking it in. It’s a well-studied market dynamic. (May have been mentioned in Freakonomics, although I can’t recall exactly).

Point being, in such fields average is almost always broke, and if you’re making it, you’re likely to be really, really making it. This isn’t a new phenomenon, but it is exacerbated as technology continues to enable more efficient marketing / distribution for the most popular acts.
I don't think so. The SSWF reached the holding threshold that required public disclosure, and while it helps Musk with the share price driven up by that disclosure, it doesn't seem to be the play he'd make.
America goes big, I am proud of our 243% turnout. Why be satisfied with 100%? This great country wasn't built by standing around or sticking with the status quo. No Old-European socialist has managed to break a 100, but we did and we should be proud.
there's NOTHING technically requiring google to serve AMP from their own domain. None of the benefits you cited answered that. AMP could just be another standard where the basic lib is preloaded.
It also worked because researchers had long-term employment with ample research funding and long periods of time to think outside of the rapid-pace of today's culture in academic and industry labs. Projects such as UNIX, C, C++, and S were built by a small set of bright people who had a significant portion of their time to devote to a single project. They did user-testing, reimplementing, and even had the luxury of starting-over from scratch several times to get the first stable prototype ready.

Something like the proposed model doesn't work if they are only giving someone "1 year"; they'll spend a good chunk of that time looking for the next job or source of funding.

How do users in this space securely transfer money without the FBI kicking down their door the next day?
Yup indeed, we have to make this more friendly because you have to curl an HTTP/JSON endpoint right now to set the configuration (we’ll release an embedded UI for policy rules editing soon, called m3ctl).

Basically though when you set retention mapping rules, metrics are downsampled to whatever resolution you choose (10s, 1min, 10min, etc) and then stored for whatever time the retention the namespace you have setup for that policy.

And with respect to my comment about disk space being the bottleneck - unless you have a huge dataset you actually might not be bottlenecked by disk, it’s just we’ve encountered that at times with our really high cardinality data sets.

Uber drivers are also really bad drivers, compared to the norm. They don't know the streets as well, they make abrupt stops in the middle of the street (cabs at least pull over if possible), they drive just weird and it's annoying.

As a driver and pedestrian, I can spot an uber car immediately without even seeing the sticker. I like to play this guessing game in my head, and 9 times out of 10 I see the uber sticker, "T L & C" license plate, and/or a single passenger in the back seat staring at their phone.

Thanks for the details! I'd love to hear more about any data you have on the efficiency of a "second chance" design vs expanding to three or more failover servers. Very curious if a single alternate is enough to cover majority of incidents (xxx out of 1000 events?) Or how frequently you see failures that fall outside the two chance design decisions.

Keep up the great work!
