Where I live permanent employees are protected, so the probability of being legally fired for disclosing my salary is 0, and the probability of illegally being fired should be very close to 0. However, the probability of my salary going up is also very close to 0. In fact, the probability of my salary decreasing is arguably higher than the probability of my salary increasing, since bonuses vary and are decided semi-arbitrarily. :-)

In any case I know a much more effective way to increase my salary: getting a green card and moving to the US. The flipside is that my American wife would have a hard time finding a good job in her field in the US.

I don't mean the word "coward" in a judgemental way. Think about what you just said for a minute. These people don't want to reciprocate honesty because they are afraid of my emotional reaction.

That means, how can I trust them with other things? For example, something goes wrong and they mess up. Will they be afraid to tell me, because they will be worried that I am going to be angry or depressed?

Now, it's perfectly fine to be afraid of other person's emotional reaction (that's why it's non-judgemental). But if you are still afraid after I made the first step, then it's a good thing for me to know about you.

> And this is kind of the tax of flow based preservation which is fine compared to the price of TCP reordering no? Efficient hash-based ECMP utilization is going to be a function of the distribution of source IP and port in the 5 tuple used in hashing.

mcpherrinm's example is worse than what I think you're suggesting. Because a given second-tier router will only receive packets that hash to a specific set of values, if that router has the same number of downstream links that the first tier router had, it will send all packets it receives to the same link, ignoring other links. Which is a terrible trade-off for avoiding OOO packets.

The more reasonable trade-off is giving up on utilizing all routers for a single flow, to avoid OOO packets.
Yeah, I've never seen a reasonable explanation for that either. If the car is a Faraday cage, and the cable is conductive and grounded, what's the problem?

The only thing I can think of is that all that energy unloaded into cable at once might ablate some of it, causing it to no longer be able to handle the tension.
> The money is back in circulation after people paying at least 50% tax if their cash was unaccounted for, but could range up to 200% penalty if the accounting was particularly shady. Which is why you see such a high deposit rate. People would rather see 50% of their cash than nothing.

You should look at the actual number of prosecution claims and convictions by the Income Tax department and the number of instances wherein compounding was admitted (taxpayers admitted to hiding income and paid a penalty), before you call demonetisation a big success in this regard.

Cases filed: 2225
Convictions: 48
Instances of compounding: 1052

Also the voluntary income disclosure scheme of 2016 ran prior to demonetisation. Not many people signed up for that, but for whomever did so, it had nothing to do with demonetisation.

Usually the public viewing areas are limited in space. The bulk of a 20 million artefact collection would have to be kept in more recently built warehouses, possibly underground, and kept near by the main museum. In the event of a fire they can be sealed and filled with argon gas, exactly the same as any highly sensitive data centre, such as for instance, the IRS data centre, or the stock market. Funding for such things should have been a no brainer considering the high potential economic value of these objects. The Brazilian government should have thought of this building as though it's a bank, because it basically is, if you consider that the museum could have decided to, for instance, sell off most of the collection if it decided to, and have ended up well ahead of losing essentially billions of dollars.

NYTimes, like most media inside and outside of India, are looking at this from the wrong angle. The actual intent of Demonetization was not the removal of Black Money. It was just a cover. Anything else like digital transactions were side effects.

The real reason for this was political chest thumping. The previous government was seen as incapable of taking decisions and getting work done. This was mostly a signal from Modi that he was willing to get work done, take hard decisions and see them through. That he and his government had the willpower to work and act, unlike his political opponents.

The results of the UP elections that happened after this validate it. UP is a state with a lot of farmers and low income people, who were supposedly the worst hit segments of the population. Yet they voted for him.

Just some food for thought.
They do that sort of thing occasionally, but on the whole, over time, cars have improved with regard to emissions and safety, mostly due to regulation.

For complicated human reasons, it's a bad analogy. Although you're right that the game-theoretic reasons for humans hiding their genitals and hiding their salaries might actually be similar.

Interestingly, there was nudism movement, which was basically about right to display your genitals (in non-invasive way). And I think we should, as humans, also have the right to count our money in public. Shouldn't we?
> Driving to the corner store isn't the issue. Having a lifestyle that makes you need a car is the issue.

This. I pissed off my ex's sister once when she said that since she was moving 40 kilometers outside of the city, she and her husband needs two cars. I asked her why she was moving then, you already have a house with a room for all your kids close enough to work that you can bike. She answered that she loves nature, and just going for a run there whenever she wants. So I said "wouldn't you then say that to go for a run in the woods whenever you want, you'll get two cars"?

It sort of killed the mood. I'm a monster.
If the business logic relates directly to the data, then that is my preference. I think it simplifies a lot of things for a REST API too. Thanks to the JSON support, I often write plpgsql functions that create the result JSON and the web server just passes it on. I have often found that to be faster than trying to construct it in the web server, but not always.
ICEs gave us another boost in civilization, expanded the scale of our economies, which eventually led to enough R&D in electric engines that the latter are slowly but surely replacing ICEs now.

Maybe the same thing will happen here? The system you've described could open the Solar System for us, and time + advancements in in-space manufacturing could eventually lead to people building space elevators as an alternative.

(Also, Earth is not a good place to get the experience in building space elevators. The Moon is much better, and probably Mars would be a good candidate later on.)

The tricky part is that your first "physics" (human models) is also a part of the physical world. The human concepts and equations affect what humans do, which changes the physical world. There's a bit of a feedback loop.

Concepts, ideas, equations and models absolutely do change the world, in a very real and physical sense. They do not (probably) affect the fundamental laws of physics, though.

That's not true and what they did was probably optimal. The probability of losing the whole collection over time is the same. By spreading collections around into N locations, you would have, on average, N times more fires like this one, but fire would be engulfing a smaller collection at a time (1/N). Moreover, by having it centralized you can reduce costs, hence save money and use it to lower the risk of fire.

What they did by centralizing the collection was the best thing they could do to save it, but apparently they didn't even have money to protect a single museum from fire hazard. Spread the collection around the country and you don't even have money/people for proper maintenance and protection against theft in each individual location.
You pay the asking price if the product provides you enough value. Negotiation is simply setting the asking price, which is absurdly mundane in a free market economy. In fact, not setting an asking price - thus letting the buyer decide what he pays - contradicts norms.

The metric of “how well you do your job” is highly subjective anyhow; between an employee, their manager, their product manager, their coworkers and HR there would be significant variance of opinion.

> But I maintain plenty of inheritanace based code and, while it's less testable, it's... fine.

I'd wager that it's rather good code then. There's also the inheritance-based code that isn't though, which slowly is driving me to the conclusion that "unsupervised" inheritance is some sort of petri dish for cthulhu-esque architectures.

That doesn't mean inheritance is bad, per se -- just that we should stop and think much more about using it. Composability, on the other hand, isn't nearly as "invasive" since the whole point of it is the interaction of uncoupled things.

Another point to note is that Indian elections are funded by a massive corpus of cash, and when you suddenly make all existing cash illegal days before the elections, you cause complete disarray in your own political opponents' camps.

This was as much a poll winning strategy as it was, purportedly, about demonetization.

To me, regardless of whatever good this government does, it will remain one of the worst decisions economic decisions taken by any Indian government to date
A part of the problem, and perhaps a significant part, is that climate science has done a terrible job of selling itself to the public. The history of climate science is 30 years of marketing catastrophe and doomsday predictions, backed by near unanimous support from the scientific community. Sadly, it’s also 30 years of bunk predictions, and scientists appealing to a sense of impending doom, justified by the idea that overselling the evidence is worthwhile due to the importance of the cause. The consequence is that it doesn’t matter to many people whether they’re right or not, because the communication around this science has done such a remarkable job of undermining its own credibility.

If negotiation is not a skill that affects your job performance it seems unfair that it has such a big influence on your pay.
Weirdly enough, I've had this problem with DMARC, not SPF. It occurs on a very small fraction of emails from more "sensitive" domains, like a fraction of emails from one or two banks.

In particular, Gmail completely silently drops emails forwarded by hosts that aren't explicitly authorized by the sender's DMARC policy, which sucks because it means I can't forward such emails from my _own_ addresses on other domains to my _own_ Gmail account. I understand this is because the sender's DMARC policy says that the receiver should hard-reject any mail delivered by unauthorized middlemen, which seems naively short-sighted given that anyone can deliver email, and DKIM already lets the receiver verify the authenticity. (Is this even compliant behavior?)

Does anyone have a reasonable workaround for forwarding to Gmail in such cases?
> Of course that kind of routing would create a potential bottleneck for an attacker to exploit ("simply" force traffic to the wrong IPs to the wrong PoP, assuming $attacker had this level of access to the backbone)

It's actually simpler than that — the state of the TCP connection is controlled by the hosts to the TCP connection, so, all it takes is for a "client" host to pretend that the connection has already been established (sending a single packet alleging as such) — no need for any special access to any backbone.
There is no evidence that deep learning would give better performance than other collision avoidance algorithms in such a scenario.

There are so many things you can be jealous at which are completely in the open at work - company perks, travel, type of work, team.. And nobody ever claims the same problems here. I think it's pretty much a non-issue, basically jealous people will be jealous and catch straws if they don't have the information and normal people will be normal regardless whether they have the information or not.)

Asian countries are seen as "soft" targets. It is a multibillion dollar business. The church hides behind the garb of being a minority representing about 3 percent in India, while actual numbers are estimated to be much higher. It is not always money, it can also be career. The church is extremely well organised and way too powerful, no politician is ready to face reality and deal with it. The church is the biggest land owner in India after the government itself. In areas like the north-east with 80% Christians, there is a power struggle amongst the different church factions, with headquarters in different countries. Similar to the Saudi-Iran (Sunni-Shite) proxy war.

Even in Delhi, cash was extremely difficult to get. I was lucky since a close friend lived in a gated State Bank colony that had its own ATM that few outside knew about. I could withdraw cash easily the day it was filled. Had to lend money to people just so they could buy bread, milk and eggs.

It was a common sight to see people lining up outside ATMs at 2 in the night just to withdraw cash they earned through their hard work.

If this was meant to solve the "black money" issue, it was akin to using a flamethrower to kill an ant. The collateral damage was way, way too high
I would prefer to be in a reality where privacy doesn't exist and surveillance was extremely open. It would be safer to me.

The world is beyond manipulative by what we perceive as having privacy today. Majority of people in the world believe in free-will without any rational reason. Total ego controlling who gets resources for a healthy life vs less fortunate and where judgement is passed by nonsense with who is rewarded or punished.

The only way to make the world fair at this point is to have privacy destroyed and with the system of surveillance open as possible. Unfairness becomes labeled to individuals by the openness of surveillance.

And maybe that's the truth, sure someone with 30 years of experience might be better at their job than someone with 5 years of experience, but the also might not.
