I'm also reminded of tabletop gaming, where if done well the rules text affects the je ne sais quoi of the game without having to be so crass as to actually tell people how to play.

One example is the game Monsterhearts, where you play Buffy/Twilight/Teen Wolf/etc "teenage supernatural drama" types. The rules are carefully designed to make relationship drama and petty inter-group conflict a natural result of play, even if the players are levelheaded sorts who wouldn't act that way at all on their own.
> I think this is one of the absolute least effective ways to be spending public safety dollars, is it not?

The scenario you described sounds like an incredibly effective and efficient way to spend public safety dollars, given two things:

1. The technology works.

2. You don't care about privacy.
The ATECC508A is not used correctly. It is used as a RNG and for it's crypto functions, but not for key storage. So any site's key is trivially extracted with physical possession of the device. The wrapping key is also extractable, therefore you only need one-time offline possession of the device.

The source code is horrible so I'm not going to do a full analysis but that's the gist.

I own property which is currently collecting rent.

The rent is set by the market — if I charged a million bucks a month (it’s a one bed flat) it would be empty.

No matter what my costs are, the number chosen by my agent has to be both “as high as possible” and “no higher”.

I do know the government can mess up and if you Google “rent controls” the standard downsides there are real problems if the government goes too far — but there is room to improve the current unreasonable (in my favour) mess.

> B&N is the last thing standing between Amazon and a total monopoly of the publishing industry

This is total hyperbole. There are plenty of publishers and book stores with online store fronts. When you shop there instead of Amazon, a greater portion of your contribution supports the authors and editors. And as always, once B&N closes up for good, we will see a resurgence of local booksellers, anecdotally I already see it happening in my town. In a lot of ways, your local coffeeshops have also turned into mini bookstores as well, we could see this niche expand.
Based on the other comments further down, you seem to be caught up on whether the statement is technically true for specific definitions of pain, rather than the underlying point of the statement.

The underlying point is that whether you think that someone's suffering (physical or emotional) has a real or imaginary cause, that doesn't make them suffer any more or less, because you are not in their head, and they are not in yours. Their degree of suffering depends on their perception of reality, not yours, or even objective reality.

The statement is an appeal to empathy.
A web standard needs to have more than one implementation. If you allow one single implementation to define the standard, you get something like Flash.

I don't have a particularly strong practical argument here: for me this is more of a fundamental principle for how the web should work.
I didn't downvote any of your comments, but I didn't understand your gripe until this post, and I agree with you that the question is not worded well. Imaginary's primary definition is only existing in your imagination, so it's technically correct on one level, but if you look at synonyms for imaginary, and the way that people commonly use it, you get words like nonexistent, made-up, fictional, unreal, etc..

There is a reason why kernel code run in privileged mode, speed! If you run more kernel code in privileged mode then you do not need to copy as much data between the kernel and user space. Vs a micro kernel you will have to copy more data up to user space. Copying data to user space causes context switches and gives less performance.

Larger mono kernels:
Speed

Micro kernels have advantages such as:
smaller privileged attack surface and thus more secure,
more crash proof as you can restart user land processes for example device drivers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microkernel
Not to mention the persistent sharing dickbars and make you read through a mail slot.
IMO a microkernel isn't a design worth pursuing as there will always be overhead. Instead an exokernel with a simple monolithic 'multiplexing' kernel or a language that has 100% safety (not really possible).
Also known as "rent seeking" behaviour. Administrators who are successful in their careers are those who are ambitious about moving up, which requires continual expansion of the departments and work that they oversee. They want more budget to hire more people, they want more work to justify the budget, they produce no wealth and generally just collect rent off of everyone subjected to their administrative powers.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I believe accounting is one such discipline. 90% of it could have been automated out of existence decades ago - the CPA industry exists to ensure the continuation of the employment of the people in the industry by artificially making the whole thing more complicated than it has any reason to be.

At work, we almost never do one-on-one meetings for /work/.

We do it in case there's some personal issues like work anxiety, stress etc. and helped a lot of people where I work at.

Such meetings are not "you'll be better"-logic, but rather bluntly putting everything on the table and discussing about every issue and how to handle it.

I'm gonna talk about your tool at work anyways, see what we can find useful in it, and I'll try to get back to give you a feedback if I can get something.

You think the only part of government that can't be captured is the executive? Obviously, the legislative and judicial system can be captured.

That voting/change is a waste of time.

If they steal a primary yubikey token, no. The counter is stored and managed only in the secure element part of the device. If they steal a primary u2fzero token, which of course the proposal depends on, the counter is not protected in any meaningful way.

This doesn't matter in practice, however. No site is doing anything useful with the counter.
Everyone is being too optimistic about this law in NZ. It’s too watered down. Note it only bans existing homes. Foreigners can still buy new homes. (Unless that was changed.) This may have some affect but new houses and existing houses are all in the same market. If foreign buyers all shift to buying in the new construction market they will drive up prices of new houses, force residents that might’ve been looking for a new house to buy an existing house, continuing to drive up prices of all houses.

I think if we see house prices drop significantly in NZ it’ll be more to do with other economic changes than this rule.

(Note: I am in favor of requiring buyers of all property to be residents of the country. I think this should be pretty standard in any country.)

So are you saying wealth is distributed less socially in the EU than it is in the states? I've never heard that before but it could be right, I don't know the details of how countries contribute to the EU. I certainly have heard the moral arguments from Germany, as well as from the rest of the rich EU countries.

Are poor regions in the US effectively assisted by subsidies? I feel in the EU the main problem is lack of integration, for example if I design a product here in The Netherlands, it would be a lot cheaper to set up a factory in say Poland or Spain, but I'd be hesitant to do that because of cultural and language barriers. I suppose that's less of a problem in the US, though in the US distances are greater.

I do not know why you insist down this line of thinking when I am talking about _impoverished_ people. If someone is skipping meals to feed their child, what funds are they using for the bus? And what are they going to do when they arrive at some magical "cheaper COL" and they have no job?

I implore you to go volunteer at your local homeless shelter. After talking with several perfectly sane and working homeless individuals you will realize some people really have no money leftover to better their plight. They really are trapped.

You have a fixed asset (facility) and variable assets (employees). If you are trying to keep your failing company from hemorrhaging money, you can cut the liquid assets, because you have to keep lights on.

The situation at Barnes and Noble is dire. Anyone of us in the same position would have done the same thing, if you cannot admit this, then you need to look at financial sheets and what it takes to run a business.

Bearing this in mind, a similar action was undertaken by Home Depot where they cut their experienced staff loose to save monies, but were not in dire straits, I was on the same bandwagon as you about the move.
Correct, they can't be attacked with literal guns, which means it could be a figure of speech. Could being the keyword since he is the only one who could settle that debate.

Lets assume it wasn't a figure of speech. I'm with you in that I don't condone if he calling for physical attacks on people be it with a gun or some other physical means. I don't condone or agree with that in general regardless of what side its on.

From the article:
"calling for supporters to get their “battle rifles” ready against media and others,"

battle rifle is in part taken out of context of what he said in the video and is editorialized to an extent to paint it in a way that could be construed as him calling to attack.

Taken out of the video with a little more context:
"Because they're coming...This is it... So people need to have battle rifles ready at their bedsides..."
https://twitter.com/mmfa/status/1029477795561463808

I didn't put everything in that quote, but linked the video where I listen to it from so you can hear it in whole. If you take it in those terms he isn't calling for attacks or acts of violence, but is saying they are coming for you and you need to be ready to defend yourself. You can argue that defending yourself could become violent, but I see defense a little different then the aggressor.

By the way appreciate the discussion we having.

> Unfortunately, the sodium comes from the traditional Indian spices used in each dish

Wat? What spices contain a high level of sodium? Or are you counting 'salt' as a 'traditional Indian spice'?!
You're absolutely correct. Is there some sense in which that matters?
Remove the "$" signs from your pricing on your website.
Maybe you could offer low(er) sodium versions. I find 20% daily sodium intake is too much for a dish.
Looks great, remove the "$" form your pricing.
I'm not on board with 50% of this but damnit if you're pushing me to be on board with all of it.
Yes this is true in NZ - property taxes here ("rates") pay for roads, water, street lighting, that sort of thing. Not schools, police, or other stuff done by central govt.

Also property taxes here are not tied directly to house valuations - there's a fixed component, plus a component that's calculated from your valuation divided by the sum of the valuations of ALL the properties in the city. That means that if everyone's valuations are doubled your taxes don't change, if your house value goes up faster than the average you do pay more, if it goes up more slowly your taxes go down.
I was very excited to see this but after looking at the nutrition details, I was dismayed.

Upma 1 serving has 660 mg of sodium. Khichdi has 1760 mg of sodium. The daily requirement is 2300 mg of Sodium and if you are hyper tensive the requirements are lesser. Is there a reason it has such a high sodium content?

The pricing also seems high to me. I think your should rethink pricing. For staple items like khichdi, upma you should drop the pricing. I am confident that you will make it up with volume. If you price staple breakfast and dinner items too high, you will drive away your core customer base of Indian students. You want Indian students to buy your items in bulk for a month. Will a Indian student spend 200 dollars per month (20 * 10 (1 khichdi + 1 upma)) on your food items? You can use these staple items as lead gen tools to establish a long term relationship with your customers.

The easiest way to keep your apps accessible is not making them web apps. Instead of relying on an entirely redundant abstraction layer/OS built on top of your existing one just write native applications.

Depends on how much I pay in shipping, but I aim for 25-35% of gross. Still lots of room to optimize.
Reactions from a non-Indian (who loves Indian food):

* I really had to dig to find descriptions of the dishes.

* The emphasis on pre-built combo packs turned me off somewhat. You've only got ~10 dishes, I'd rather explicitly pick the 3 or 4 dishes that intrigued me than sift through all the combo packs to find the one that most closely matches what I want.
Worse, well done regulation makes problems go away. Which makes it seem like they are not needed.
