Cato is not a health insurer. They are not advocating a product that they themselves sell, like the tobacco and alcohol industries. They have a libertarian viewpoint but overall they just recommend a pro-market viewpoint. In the situation of American healthcare we should be willing to listen to a variety of viewpoints considering the situation is the worst in the entire developed world by a large margin.

Silicon Valley University Asks Professors to Offer Students Affordable Housing
This disgraceful behavior from academia is shredding the credibility of the entire enterprise.

How is anyone supposed to trust any unintuitive conclusions with expensive implications --- for example, on climate change --- when the academic community has demonstrated a propensity to shriek at and censor unorthodox ideas instead of contest them on the merits?
I wonder if some of what these developers are engaged in could legally be interpreted as fraud? Civil fraud is a thing.

Some of these developers have:

- making misleading and knowingly false statements
- profiting from these actions
- people were fooled by these statements

The tricky part might be demonstrating ‘harm’, but at least some jurisdictions have enshrined a legal right to privacy, violation of which could be grounds for legal action.

Having come from Julia - I rather like elixir. Rust seems like it's great if you need control over everthing at a low level (great for browsers, operating systems). If you want a high level, but still very performant[0], FP language with very nice guardrails... I wrote a complete scheduler for data science tasks, from nothing, in 3 months.

If evolution is the changing of statistical distributions of genes within a population, then reproduction isn't the only aspect of life that is germane. That's because your children are just one example of people whose genes correlate with yours. Practically anything you do affects other people in society who have some genes in common and therefore impacts the future distribution of genes. This is why being menopausal, infertile, homosexual, celibate, or whatever does not place you outside of or make you irrelevant to evolution.
The best free apps I've found are just business moats to point you to another money maker. As callous as I'm phrasing it, those free apps tend to be leagues better than the population of paid apps.

Orthogonal is from linear algebra or geometry, a generalization of perpendicular. Perpendicular implies only two dimensions.

I'm HFA and I can only focus on what interests me. I got through school because I could just read a textbook the night before an exam and ace it, but when I was in actual classes I pretty much just napped. But I was an admin of my school's computer lab and trained students and teachers, ran a BBS and co-sysoped a multi-line chat system, while holding down a part time job etc. So I totally get the inability to focus on things that are uninteresting or seem not to be useful in a contemporary sense. (This is still the case =)
While the Left Steals the Spotlight, Unemployment Hits 49-Year Low
I live in Austin. For two years I waited for my neighborhood to be included in their coverage map. Even after the map showed I was covered, repeated attempts to sign up would get rejected by their automated registration system. For months I watched workmen laying in the orange cables, including right through my front yard.

In October 2017 a Google employee walked door to door in the neighborhood signing people up. We signed up, gave a $15 (?) deposit, and then never heard from him or google again.

On the other hand, in that span of time my Spectrum speed got bumped repeated from 15/5 Mbps to 200/12 Mbps, without changing my price. So, thanks Google for bluffing so well.

Some are, some aren't. When you're reading the likes of IBM and Microsoft, they're taking shortcuts to decentralization and misleading what their product offers and what the shortcomings are.

Other entities are making good progress, but this takes time and a lot of engineering to figure out how to improve UX while also maintaining decentralization and a trustless system.
They’re also a transfer of wealth from shareholders to employees (who have kids).
how certain are you that WPA3 can’t be shipped as a software upgrade?

I'm pretty sure that the wifi devices I own that were EOL'ed a decade ago aren't going to get a software upgrade. Nor are the ones from companies that are no longer in business.
If you're using something like OpenWRT, you most likely don't need to buy new hardware.

Awesome! Point me in the direction of the firmware upgrade portal for my 15-year-old wifi printers, computers, and game machines from companies that no longer exist.
My extremely unscientific test had PCRE2 being quite a bit slower - 1 second vs 0.2 seconds to search through 10k files - ie, slower, but still pretty darn fast.
I bet Apple will crack down on these location tracking SDKs, but it likely wouldn't eliminate this type of tracking.

The main reason these apps are getting caught is because they are blatantly including the SDKs of the monetization firms in their client apps, and transparently sending data directly to the servers of those firms.

But what's to stop a weather app from just doing it server-side, so it's undetectable to third parties?

For instance, a weather app must send location data to some backend, in order to fetch weather data. That backend could send the location data to these exact same monetization firms. It would be difficult for Apple to detect and block this behavior.
I thought this was going to be about competition with China.
Who knows maybe he'll help accelerate the bankruptcy of colleges [1] with backwards business models, ruined by extremely top heavy administration-first hierarchies pushing tuitions higher. And redirect the cheap capital going to end super expensive degrees with no market to more cost effective models that reflect market-demand (which apparently is not factored into the marketing of university courses to youth).
For ordinary users, setting a strong passphrase is all they need to do to have network with improved security, even in the mixed mode.

Then what's the point of even developing WPA3? Why not revise WPA2 to just require really long passwords?
This is another thing I was confused about, looks like someone already covered this :)
Soft skills are almost as important as coding skill for a developer.
There’s also the theory that Google will eventually provide the consumer service for SpaceX’s internet satellite constellation. Laying cable was way too expensive and won’t be used for most of internet traffic in the future, where low latency is not paramount.

If I have the timing correct, Google led a large financing round of Spacex around the same time as they stopped expanding their Fiber service

I'm only aware of patents related to certain systems which implement more than just the base idea of using more than one security key for a given SSID e.g. the Ruckus patent on how Dynamic PSK automatically creates and assigns multiple PSKs from a controller portal.
Awesome, this helps explain it to me! Thanks.
I'm in a NYC WeWork. I mostly ignore all that stuff. I say "hello" to the person at the front desk when I badge in each morning. That's the extent of my "networking." They send out the occasional email That's the extent of my exposure to their "motivational" material.

That stuff is there if you want it and barely noticeable if you don't.
Reading further: "In order to simplify an explanation, we restrict our analysis to synchronous circuits — that is, circuits in which all registers tick with the same clock"

Sounds like the author is advocating for designs that do not have derived clocks or gated clocks or multiple clock domains -- all tricky things that designers occasionally do with great care. Clock your flip-flops with the master clock and avoid transparent latches and your design will approach the mathematical ideal that he describes when comparing a circuit to a software program.

I'd guess his Lola HDL restricts you from doing some of these things, where Verilog is more YOLO depending on the vendor and warnings that are enabled.
Um, that they can be different websites?
It's probably a combination of ibuprofen and birth control pills tainting the water supply enough to result in horomonal signaling.

It's weird, because you look back to 40 years ago, and the lack of gender dysphoria didn't seem nearly as prevalent, and I don't think that's because of pressure to enforce social conformity. I must admit, the plastic surgery didn't exist, and maybe we're worse for having it.

It's possible that perception has simply been altered by the internet's capacity to surface specialty subcultures, but even so, I feel like it's a really, really strange thing for so many men these days to push as hard as they do to live as women. And it really does seem like there's a lot more traffic heading in that direction and not the reverse.

So it would make sense to me, that part of this gradient of diffusion is also other reproductive system problems. There's probably a wide grey zone of infertility without gender dysphoria, and the higher rates of gender dysphoria are the extreme cases of the root cause of male infertility.

It would make sense to me if it works out this way, although, I am uncertain that these are really the facts.

I just don't remember people being like this, the way things are now. The 1970's had a lot going on, and then we saw promiscuity kill up to 50,000 annualy when AIDS hit. Now, higher rates of gender dysphoria and infertility, so what gives?

What happened? I call it valence hijacking.

Sometimes, a thing --- a word, an institution, a bit of history --- has cultural power. It's surrounded with an aura (or valence, if you will) of gravitas and mystique, usually accumulated over decades, or millennia.

Acrivists notice that these things have cultural power and hijack them, turning them into something useful for the cause while denying that anything has changed. Consider, for example, how many people claim, in all earnestness, that disagreement is "literal violence". Disagreement is obviously not violence, but by using this word, activists can "steal" some of the emotion attached to the word "violence" and weild it for their cause.

This hijacking works for a while, until people catch on. At that point, activists, like locusts, move on to areas not yet stripped bare of meaning.

The same mechanism that at micro scale operates on words operates at macro scale on institutions.

Academia in particular has been ravaged by this process: huge parts of the academy no longer practice anything resembling science. Their studies do not reproduce. Their papers go unread. Their lectures become diatribes. Their students become zealots. The forms are present, but the substance is gone.

This article describes the early stages of such a hijacking.
It does that like putting a wad of money behind a window protects your cash. If I'm going to walk into Starbucks to sniff the guest wireless all WPA3 changes is I have to make my laptop advertise itself as "Google Starbucks" and you send me all of your traffic with an encryption key we both know.

People act like there is 0 harm in prematurely releasing a security feature in a network standard not remembering the various network hardware that will be made based on this don't follow a software development lifecycle where you just publish sprint 2 a few weeks from now with improvements and the world moves on. Even when things get updated wireless clients that are easily updatable (e.g. iOS/Windows devices) are only just recently using TLS 1.2 in their PEAP sessions. We shouldn't be playing fast and lose with security implementation in a future standard just because it sounds nice at first glance and assume sounds nice is better than nothing. What if we decide the next iteration of this design is to rely on PKI to create a chain of trust and now we've created 5 years of shit not working because wireless implementations are so shotty? Similar things have happened with other wireless standard revisions already... hell 802.11ac spent a lot of time and planning on MIMO (which is well established in other radio specifications already) and we still got an entire generation of wireless hardware that worked better without it enabled due to lack of real world vetting.

The best hope in this case is everyone realizes this doesn't provide any meaningful security in the current revision even though it's already available and being pranced around as a great security benefit.

How the Hydraulics Machine Works
Good point. I actually wrote a reply to his Medium article here: https://bit.ly/2CxeT9z

His article is for 1% of entrepreneurs. For 99%, lean startups still works. And let's not act like investors spray and pray that they hit a unicorn. Of course it's good for their track record, but it's not like they don't ask questions before investing when you have the track record of Jeff Katzenberg.

There are a lot of MVPs out there to know the Netflix for mobile will work. Lean startup never said that the MVP had to be your own. Read my Medium article, I develop on the subject : https://bit.ly/2CxeT9z
The problem is when not being complicated means they are aren't truthful. Do you track crashes? Do you have any logging that tracks an IP address?

I view my dedicated home IP as personal, if not all that private, information. Does minimal logging actually require storing personal information? Is there a common, or legal definition of what personal information is?

I'm all for simple policies, but I would also rather they be accurate, and I would hate to see people who are trying to do good by having a simple policy like that end up in trouble because the law doesn't quite agree.

> I've been exactly there. You're not making minimum wage when you show up to the farm to pick apricots all day.

While not Iowa, the farms around here will easily pay you $20-30/hr. if you are willing to work on equipment. Which, anyone who is capable of software development, also has the mindset required to work on equipment. They're pretty similar activities when you get down to it. I'm not sure there is any reason why someone with such a skillset needs to go into picking apricots. We're not exactly talking about a 12 year old who has never worked before and who's greatest ability is being able to turn on his video game console.
The firms would then have a much harder time knowing if the information is genuinely from end users, if they no longer collect directly from user devices.

Even if you're writing your own engine from scratch, VR runtimes provide orientation information directly to the engine as a 4x4 transform matrix. They would have to ignore all the documentation and go far out of their way to somehow regress to euler angles, and are likely introducing other precision issues in doing so.
You've described the statute in some state for spacing between cars or something, but in some states "brake checking" is mentioned explicitly in the criminal code, and in others it can be prosecuted as vehicular assault. It's harder to prove without a dashcam, but if there are witnesses it is certainly possible.

That's a bit of a sideshow. Tesla needs to worry about the civil liability involved in making a car that stops suddenly in the middle of the road. For example, "The driver is still 100% responsible, just as they would be for cruise control" is absolutely not going to impress anyone as a defense if there is enough property damage or personal injury involving such a feature to justify a class action.
>> If the incumbents are so well protected that one of the most powerful corporations in America found the barriers to entry too burdensome, then how can anyone argue that there is any semblance of a “free market”?

Yes, that's the biggest problem and I'm tired of repeating it. If Google can't do it, then what hope do the other minnows and plebeians have? Its high time that the average lazy American should wake up and revolt against the establishment for this injustice now.
I wouldn't call being able to take care of yourself a soft skill. Laundry, cooking, finance; all hard skills required to survive.

Reading this whole thread, I really don't get it. This guy has to have fucked up a lot to get to this point, and noen of those details were evaluated in the article.

My own grandmother is a hardcore christian, and I am an "atheist". At no point in my life have I ever burned so many bridges as to not be able to stay with her if things got bad enough. It reads like the childish mind of some edgy early 2000s 15 year old trying to rationalize why their family is pissed at them.

I read through this whole thing and all I could think of was that this guy is absolutely pathetic for wasting so many opportunities. Sometimes you just deserve the shit you get.
It's also a huge company and one persons experience with their particular piece of upper management could be very different for 99% of the other people.

It's possible it was just some low-quality middle managers underneath the talent which blocked his recognition as well.

Jobs and wages are not finite resources either. If the person was legitimately producing value for the company, well beyond his own 'cost' to the company then smart management should have been able to find a way to keep him happy. Sometime it even comes down to communicating your value and making sure you're noticed.

Working hard isn't always sufficient on it's own sadly. Sometimes easy for managers to miss and believe that the other people chomping at the bit for the position are just as capable.

The ecosystem is already in the process of changing via desertification.
If this was true, Economists would be all over it. It's the kind of stuff careers and Nobel prices are made of.

But Economists have studied this and know the effect is very small. Which is why you have software engineers speculating about it instead.

I know no other scientific field where people so confidently ignore well established known facts as Economics. Even people who otherwise quite scientifically literate.
"Synonymous" doesn't have a logically descriptive definition, but it's definitely not the same as saying "identical". OP was flat out trying to use perpendicular to mean something that doesn't make sense based on its typical usage.

ANSWERED PRAYER
My name is Audrey Noland, my ex-wife ran up my Amex card I didn’t know about while we were separated. Card is in my name and I was fully responsible for debt as I was the card holder. Anyways the card balance was around $22k. It went to collections but still under Amex control. It has been about 2 yrs. I have been trying to rebuild after all this mess. I sent off a pay for delete letter about 6 months ago with no response but after some while I received a letter stating they would take 40% of the balance about $8500 to take care of the balance. I almost accepted not until someone recommended Hackwest on myfico forum. I immediately contacted them through Hackwest@writeme.com and also texted +1 424 307 2638, they responded immediately and explained the process to me which I agreed and paid them 15% of the money instead of 40% demanded by Amex. Today I’m debt free and my score has increased tremendously. Kindly contact them for all kinds of credit repair, DUI fix and Chex system.
