In my humble opinion there really is no need for ANOTHER introductory book on python.

But there is a great, great need for REALLY well done books on intermediate python and advanced python.

Actually it's the idea that quantum computers will be able to do some tasks faster than classical computers. QCs are not universally superior. Algorithms have to be carefully constructed to benefit from their particular advantages, and not all problems are amenable to being solved by QCs.
It's not that the cars have one pedal, it's that you can get by with one pedal as lifting off the accelerator will induce the regenerative braking and slow the car down. On the Tesla at least this is an optional feature since it can be jarring to people who haven't used it.

> Make the case that we need security at a lower layer than TLS

I am. The first line of my last paragraph says it. "I think we should've widely adopted layer 4 secure transport protocols" (I meant OSI L4, not TCP/IP L4). As in, make TCP TLS connections natively adopted as ubiquitously as tcp and udp, built into operating systems and routers, and made as easy to use as opening a socket.

That would help these other protocols that we don't secure, like SNMP. Obviously SNMP would still have those crap "community strings", but every protocol built on top of tcp could have been secure if tcp had security by default. SSH might never have been invented if Telnet and Rsh could have used an operating system's native TLS connections. Forcing applications to bring their own TLS implementation doesn't make sense to me.

> Audi sells cars. Cars are sold in America. Audi sells cars in America

When my first child was born, I went over to the local Audi dealership with plans to buy an A4 Avant Quattro with a manual transmission. No dice. Audi was only willing to sell Americans a manual transmission if it came in a sedan.

For a long time, there we so many artificial limitations, like you couldn't buy the upgraded radio or get leather seats if you wanted the manual transmission. A few years ago, BMW even limited the paint colors if you bought a 3-series with a manual. These days you can order any option you want on the 3-series with the manual - as long as you get the largest engine.
> "In the past, it’s been safer to leave them there."

from wikipedia: "Ridgeland Correctional Institution is a state prison for men located in Ridgeland, Jasper County"

> "During a Tuesday press conference, McMaster lifted the evacuation order for Jasper County."

sounds like they aren't doing anything wrong?

Edit: just took a look at a topo map, it appears that the prison is ~10 feet higher than the surrounding land, so should be significantly more immune to flooding than a standard residence. https://imgur.com/a/x2SDcuX (excuse the JPEGging)
This is very cool, have you guys considered running inspection for fire risk in wildfire prone areas?
I rented a car in Bilbao recently - reserved a manual, got an automatic (presumably because I'm an American, and they assumed I'd ruin the clutch on a manual transmission). So, that's one way to see an automatic :).

When you say it's not possible to get a license for an automatic car, do you mean it's not possible to get tested for a driving license with an automatic?
Assuming that you live on that for roughly 9 months that's $1,645/month. Assume 90 meals for the month and call the apartment $500/month ($1500 total for the 3 students, which seems to be about what an apartment runs in Davis) that's about $12.75/meal. That's a bit high for cafeteria food, but not outrageous.

You could definitely save money by living off campus and cooking your own meals, but probably not as much as you would like. It also means you have a commute to campus, which is a drag.

> The free market does not work in all situations.

Sure, but you did not enumerate a single free market. I'd wager the US healthcare industry is far and away the most regulated market in the entire world. We know that regulation protects the big players at the expense of their would be competition and drives up profits. Colleges are hardly any better, and ISPs are nearly all monopolies granted by municipalities in exchange for kick backs of various sorts. The government has interfered with every industry in this list via direct/indirect regulation, grants, guaranteed loans, or tax incentives. Lets go ahead and throw in housing in our list, too.

I thought locking torque converters were designed for fuel efficiency and are engaged during cruising mode, not heavy acceleration. I have not personally driven an automatic where the rpm and speed (I. E. Wheel and engine) have direct relationship during acceleration. Per above, is there an automatic in gti'd price range that you feel trully has that level of responsiveness and fun (as opposed to twice the price)? If so... I'm very very interested (my wife doesn't drive stick so my WRX days are numbered)
People are smart enough to install the software and the plugins they need. If only .1% of the users use a feature, it doesn't have to be maintained by the core contributors (and slow down the other 99.9% users from getting important features and bugfixes). It's a tradeoff and FWIW, while I think postgres is great, I also reckon the tradeoff could be improved.
Trench 11 izle 2017 Film Türkçe Altyazılı HD
You make a lot of mention of "modern databases" without naming any. I specifically referenced the Jepsen project as it's repeatedly shown that many/most of the "modern databases"† (and those with more history) actually don't provide the features you describe without issue. Postgres is upfront about the current limitations rather than market itself as something it isn't. I'd ask to you be specific when calling out projects you prefer for your use cases so they may be actually compared. Handwaving serves no one well.

No system is the absolute best for every use case. No one is saying it is. But please be fair and lay all the cards on the table so we can all see and judge for ourselves.

† As an aside, this use of "modern database" sticks in my craw a bit. It's very imprecise. It seems you might be using it to mean anything non-relational or perhaps non-SQL. The so-called NoSQL database systems are often quite different even amongst themselves: lumping them together does a disservice to the individual implementations. Then again, perhaps I'm misinterpreting what you mean.
I test drove a 2008 WRX a while ago and the clutch was pretty heavy, IIRC. I remember thinking to myself "this would be a major pain in traffic".
I suppose we've been exposed to different parts of the software elephant.

When I say money is lost... it can potentially be a lot of money. Can you imagine what 10 minutes of downtime could cost Amazon, for instance? What about streaming the superbowl? Credit card payment processors? Even something simple like the test harness for a production line may mean that an entire shift of assembly workers now has to stand idle or sweep the floor. When your company is losing thousands of dollars per minute you will understand what I'm talking about.
Chrome reverts subdomain elision in onmibox
Once upon a time I thought this was a pretty serious avenue of attack and wrote login forms to always run on the server in constant time -- starting a timer at the beginning and only returning output after a fixed number of ms.

I mostly don't bother anymore, because an effective timing attack for account discovery against something that's doing everything else correctly should take so many attempts that it should wake up whatever brute force protection sites should be running now anyway.

Given the number of dumb automated brute force probes against just about anything with a login, you can't just allow an infinite number of requests from a single IP (or a handful of IPs).
> We know the evacuation order I’m issuing will be inconvenient,” McMaster said during the evacuation press conference. “But we’re not going to gamble with the lives of the people of South Carolina. Not a one.”

Sounds to me like they’re just avoiding inconvenience. A spokesman for the prison doesn’t necessarily have the inmates’ best wishes at heart.
Ethics aside, how do you evacuate 1,000 inmates? I assume you'd have to bus them to another facility which had room for them. Seems challenging any way you look at it.

I thought Soylent might change my life. So I bought 24 bottles of the stuff. I took one sip and retched. Reader, it tasted like nostril. Disappointed, I put the remaining 23 bottles in a cupboard and forgot about them. Until I got a bottle out to remind myself what it tasted like and inadvertently poisoned myself.

She thought Soylent might change her life, but was ultimately disappointed by the flavour. How does that make it 'everything that's wrong with modern life'?

Behavioral economics isn't a law of physics, much of it is completely unproven, relying on psychology, which has a huge reproduce-ability problem.

Price gouging is raising prices to greater than what is fair for the value.

The amount of price raised is almost certainly to be greater than what is deemed fair in these cases from the law of supply and demand. Despite one person demanding it more, one person may be demanding it less, who is "more price conscious." Demand doesn't change in that scenario.'

It's one thing to cater to someone coming in, looking in a rush, verses spying on them in their own home and offering them products. If this is the world we're going to, I can only hope I'm not in it.
It's also pretty difficult to find a manual transmission car in Japan and other wealthy Asian countries like South Korea. And in Europe automatic transmissions are increasing in popularity, as are SUVs and crossovers. America just started transitioning to automatics a lot earlier.
Clearly random answers are a problem. You're going to find support reps inclined to accept "oh it's just something random", which means you're guaranteed get compromised if you're a big enough target to spend some hours on.

Random but outwardly appearing valid ones are fine (but you'd want to avoid using the same answer on different sites). One site's "first car" could be Porsche 911, another's Aston Martin. Both aren't true, but the support rep doesn't know that.
I think he meant "the school must pay back the lender if the student can't pay back the loan after ten years"

This is exactly what I do. Keep it easily human readable but it should still be nonsense that no one could social-engineer their way into getting.
Also possible explanation: the quality of home-cooked meals and the ease of making them may have greatly increased since the '08 crisis.

Proposed mechanism: The Great Recession forced people to cook at home out of financial necessity. Home-chefs' skill and confidence increased (human capital). Rich-media internet video sites provided step-by-step visual instructions (lowered barriers to entry). People bought knives and slow cookers and avocado slicers (capital investment).

Its absolutely more fun, and that's a pretty compelling argument.

And another one is I tell the car what I want to do. Sure it can try to figure it out, but it will never know exactly what I want to do. I can do something quicker than an automatic will know. For example, I'll know I need to be in a lower gear because I'm about to floor it. An automatic can't know that.
If it is that granular it can't have any impact on demand.

While one person might be moody and more like to demand said product, another could be more rational and need more incentives to buy said product - hence nothing actually changes, and the mean is what will be used.

The impact on demand at that given time will need to be compared to the value. Trust me, it won't be equivalent.

If I'm reading this right, they're getting outcomes like this:

* No crash/external event. Coke goes up. Pepsi goes up more due to health products. They're out money on Coke, but make enough on Pepsi to cover it and then some.

* Crash/external event. Both drop. Pepsi drops less because of the health products. They lose some on Pepsi, but because Coke dropped more, they make more off the Coke short than was lost on Pepsi. They still come out ahead.

* If the health products have no effect, then the gain or drop will be similar, giving roughly net-zero cost/gain.

The real risk, as I see it, is that the correlation breaks the other way, and Pepsi drops while Coke goes up. That's the price you pay trying to make a bet on something - the fund is safe from external events, but you can't hedge against being dead wrong and still make a profit.

Why would #6 be true?

Why can’t they just watch for real-time negative changes in their prime churn rate and average conversion rates, basket size, etc?

People have a wide spectrum of buying habits, price sensitivity, and tolerance levels for negative customer experience, so even if they are going down the toilet, it’s not like all of their userbase will one day decide at the same time to switch to Walmart.

They’ll see these trends in the data years before it becomes an existential threat. Couple that with huge amounts of feedback being collected, A/B tests being run, and third party data and I don’t see how they’ll have a growing problem that they’re unaware of because it lags sales ad revenue numbers.

At the same velocity. It's quite possible that with the increased gap and increased flow (less stop & go), you could get higher velocity out of it to compensate. Maybe not 3x the velocity, but 2x gap and 2x velocity seems within the realm of possibility (a 60mph road that slows down to 30mph because people are driving stupidly).

Edit: on the low end, this seems quite possible. Increased gaps raising the mean velocity from 5mph to 15 or 20mph.

I also think it's a good trade-off. Students should be wary though, no one wants to be stuck in a minimum wage job after graduation with loans.
