Anecdotally, I just came back from New Zealand and was staying at a farm house rented out on Airbnb. The owner was previously an actuary in Sydney, and hated his job so switched mid career to farmer. Pretty large change.

I'm not a web purist who looks for the most minimal libraries and works overtime to minimize my JS and HTML and CSS, but there is certainly something to be said about the old mobile web vs the new mobile web. I remember in 2006/2007 streaming YouTube videos on an EVDO mobile connection. Meanwhile these days unless my phone says LTE, Facebook won't even load my news feed.

Google Maps seems to be the worst, even on my recent Macbook Pro and 60mbps Internet, scrolling feels like I'm pushing heavy furniture across an unfinished concrete floor. I can almost feel it scratching and scraping and resisting every attempt to pan left or right.

In the era of "mobile first" and PWAs and all that, how is it that we require a rock solid Internet connection and a super fast processor with gobs of RAM just to get a shitty experience on the web? And if either one of those drops in the slightest, you're locked out solid.

I briefly considered taking one of the cards along to my high-reliability soldering class just to provoke a reaction from the instructor.. But figured it might bring down attention from On High into the state of our circuit cards and that wouldn't have been good. Besides, they lasted 5+ years like that before needing replacement. We pretty much only replaced them when the boards became brittle from the heat.
Can't. But if I've given the impression that the majority of CAs are sophisticated, that wasn't intentional.

The answer is that few people really can, even among those people who think society can be perfected.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "socialism". France is a very socialist country (esp. compared to the US of A), yet we are nothing like the USSR. Same goes for many EU countries. Aren't you talking about oligarchies rather than socialist regimes? The fact that some oligarchies were born under the pretense of socialism doesn't mean socialism was the cause.

How long until some fishermen begin to claim a right to privacy? I don't mean that flippantly. Logically speaking, it's a stretch to go from a personal right of privacy as the EU is slowly enshrining to one that protects the economic activity of commercial actors. But as a practical and political matter I don't think it's insurmountable. In America we're experts at reframing these rights issues in a way that benefits corporations. Europe might not be immune to these pressures, simply behind the curve.

They reduced shit on the streets and horse carcasses, and increased air pollution. It’s bit disingenuous to conflate pollution as in “horse shit” with pollution as in “TEL, CO2, NO2, etc.” In fact TEL is a great example of just how deveststing move fast and break things can be.

It really amazes me how ridiculous cloud providers are with their bandwidth pricing. Anything with user generated video is not feasible on the current cloud providers. Dedicated server providers like OVH are more than an order of magnitude cheaper. Anyone know why cloud providers have such high markup on bandwidth?
Yeah, sharp edges everywhere. My favorite feature is if it can’t convert your raw images to JPEG, instead of skipping them it stores them in Drive as non-photo data, which can fill up your quota and cause your Gmail account to stop receiving mail. It’s probably the worst software that Google has put their brand on.
In my experience (as an actuary) dealing with CFOs - this thought never crosses their mind. Even the most incompetent C-suite execs I have dealt with understand the value of hiring the best people they can find.

In general, companies don't deal with rising healthcare costs by hiring younger, less experienced workers. Instead, they restructure their insurance plans to alleviate the increase in insurance premiums. This part of what health actuaries (at least on the consulting side of things) do on a daily basis.
Edit: this isn’t about the day-to-day, but it gives perspective from an actuary I know who has served other roles.

My mother is an actuary. She was a stay at home mom for 25 years but returned to the workforce about 5 years ago and recently became VP at a large insurance company.

She says she’s always enjoyed her work as an actuary, and she preferred it over college math instruction, which she could do because FSAs are considered PhD-level. (And did while her 6 children were home.)
> get biggest guns

How are you going to get the guns? Remember we're imagining an anarchy, where you can't get guns by taking over the military (there isn't any) or the government (there isn't any). You would have to either make them yourself (a productive endeavor, which thugs don't do--see below) or trade for them (which means you would have to have something worth trading, which again requires productive endeavor) or steal them (but how are you going to steal them when you don't have any weapons to begin with, but the people who make the weapons by productive endeavors do?).

> Thugs don’t work together?

They work together at being thugs (though even that tends to be limited). They don't work together in productive endeavors, which is what I said.

Basically, as I said in response to another poster downthread, you are imagining an anarchy as just like our society, but with government and governmental law enforcement suddenly removed. That's how you can imagine, for example, that there are all these guns lying around that you can just take (because previously government and law enforcement was preventing you from taking them, but that's gone now, and since government has largely disarmed citizens, they won't be able to resist you). But that's not what a functioning anarchy, in a society that had evolved to be an anarchy (as our current society has evolved to have governments doing lots and lots of things and micromanaging our lives) would be like.
>New York implemented a medallion system because Manhattan is a long, narrow island with high travel demand.

I'm sure it was well intentioned ... initially. And then it became a boondoggle that protected the invested capital of medallion owners.

>Commuters, shoppers etc. do own cars and clog streets during the peak hours, but commuters and shoppers also park their cars while they're off doing their jobs and errands; taxis are constantly driving for fares.

OK. But they aren't just driving around. They are moving people meaning there is a public good being served. I have no doubt there will be traffic LIKE THERE IS TODAY and customers will price that in. If traffic gets too terrible, more people will move to mass public transit LIKE THEY DO TODAY. When I'm in New York or Hong Kong, I'd love to be able to cab or uber it everywhere but I don't because many times a 10 minute trip will take an hour - so I opt for subway in many cases. An equilibrium which balances price, convenience, time, etc. will be established - so don't fight it, let it establish itself.

I didn't even talk about costs. Low density transit options like Taxis/Ubers are pricey compared to high density transit options liks buses and subways - people will opt for those just for price alone. You see that with the daily commute to work where even affluent people will take the subway instead of cabbing it. I did that because Uber is great for going to a bar on a Friday night, but it sucks to pay $30/day on a round-trip to work ... and subways are faster during rush hour.

>Were medallion prices high? Sure.

Talk about an understatement.

The net harm of pollution was drastically reduced. It's basic sanitation, not even a contest.

The difference is that coffee will actually very minutely increase your risk of certain cancers (and reduce your risk of others). Microwave radiation on the other hand won't.
Dump the ROM through an EPROM programmer used to read back the data, then try to figure out what chip it is (found a schematic somewhere), turns out there are two CPUs in it, one which is mask programmable which handles all the A/D and the buttons and keys, the second one which drives the whole thing. The two CPUs talk on some funky parallel link (think 'LapLink' but then for two old 8 bitters sitting 5 cm away from each other).

After you know the CPU it is relatively straightforward, you try to figure out the memory map by looking at the address decoding circuitry , and from there you can infer things like where the vectors are pointing (usually they are at the end of the memory map in CPUs from that era, alternatively at '0'). So that will give you a good idea where the ROM should be located, (in this case from $C000 upwards).

Then you spend lots of evenings with cups of tea and some quiet music on trying to figure out what all the instructions are trying to achieve. A good starting point is any ASCII strings, then tables of pointers to code and strings, then trace the boot vector until you come to the inevitable main loop and trace inwards from there. IRQ and NMI vectors are also useful entry points to dig around in (NMI not used here). It's a job that requires quite a bit of patience and a false start somewhere can cost you dearly. I love the little 'aha!' moments whenever I've sussed out what a particular bit of code does. For instance, the DX7 can display the battery voltage and the patch numbers and other information in decimal, like it should. So then you come across this repeated subtraction test with the contents of a table, turns out it is the binary-to-decimal convertor.

It's going to be a while before this is done but it is very interesting.
Ah, that explains it. Thank you for digging that up.

I've worn my best a couple of times in the last few months, it's been enough with the Grim Reaper for a while for me, so I'm not too easily amused by the subject.
My understanding is that having water at the terminal side of the air flow creates back-pressure, which helps prevent the lungs collapsing.
Exactly (the last part). There's a fundamental weakness here. Fixing the obvious weakness in the single sided authentication and weak crypto isn't enough to fundamentally solve it. Not sure there's _any_ way to fully make this secure. AFAIK, Model 3 doesn't have this feature & vulnerability.
From the article: “Reduced radiation emissions from 5G antennas compared to 4G antennas would presumably further reduce any health effects of this technology.”

So, they ban a technology which reduces the radiation they are concerned about while leaving a technology which radiates more than the tech which was going to replace it with.

Not getting typhus from a rotting pile of horse is a definite win, but a Pyrrhic victory if we end up trashing the entire planet as a result of global warming. Less horse shit was a boon for sanitation in big cities, but TEL was a bone ride multi-generational disaster, ongoing in some parts. The car solves one problem of big city sanitation and replaced it with slow motion global catastrophe of pollution.

> If you're good at math, and really good at standardized math exams you can advance through the various levels and work your way up the pay-scale ladder

I was able to more than double my starting salary (ending at around 135k with bonus) 3 years out of school.

I worked in consulting and thought the work was incredibly boring. The main issue is that a lot of people in the field, even those good at passing exams, aren't particularly good at advanced modeling or programming. This means no one can or is interested in peer-reviewing complex models and as a result you end up spending most of your time shoveling numbers around in Excel. It was also very stressful. Leaving the profession, despite the time I sunk in it, was the best decision I ever made.
Don't you tire of it after a while? I still do it from time to time but I've started to feel apathetic after seeing so many READMEs just put together as an afterthought.
No amount of perfect encryption will protect against a relay attack.
I am more expressing surprise that a consultant can get their ideas covered so widely by posting a paper on their website. I searched and there are dozens of articles reporting these claims. I think it speaks to a general scorn for Uber and lyft that any bad news about them gets clicks. But the estimates could be true just like half the estimates or double the estimates could be true also.
It was always my understanding that the raw cost of manufacture of a product in the US and China was comparable (while China has much lower cost of labor, their cost of energy is much higher [1]) - and that the reason that products are manufactured in China these days has much more to do with supply chain. That all products are made there so manufacturers only have to drive a truck from supplier to supplier and drop it all off at the final assembly facility before shipping it to the rest of the world.

It might at short range in high concentrations, but ramping things up to the lab-experiment points that generate "may cause cancer" warnings is the equivalent of the Mythbusters "it didn't work but now let's try explosives".

In fact, to the extent any potential harm exists, the characteristics of 5G would likely make it far less harmful; 5G does a far better job of managing both direction and power, whereas older cell technologies are more indiscriminate.

World capital of NIMBY turns down development because NIMBY. Not surprised, just disappointed.
I did a stats undergrad at one of the few schools to offer that kind of program. Many of my peers went on to be actuaries.

I'd actually recommend any undergrad program that has a strong underpinning in statistical thinking. It's very difficult to learn without formal education and is oh so very useful in so many fields right now.
Justin, how big do you anticipate Atrium to become? Given how much money flows into legal services, my guess is over $10 billion as a conservative measure. Is there a ballpark figure that A16z or you think of as conservative, ambitious etc?
Completely agree, pretty inflammatory and vaguely racist comment. I think we can also agree things are far more negative than positive nowadays. Temer is really just the another nail in the coffin for functional Brazilian society. Things are looking much more bleak compared to a decade ago.

Can't speak for Discord but at that scale a provider is probably going to charge you for the physical pipe 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or by the bandwidth used (Mbps) using the 95% percentile method.
I live in a part of unincorporated Marin county (Tamalpais Valley) that has a Mill Valley postal address, and the discussion about this issue on our local NextDoor was BANANAS. You could satirize this situation any way you like and it wouldn’t come close to how terrible and anti-science the comments were.

Meanwhile, I don’t even have cellphone service of any kind at my own house, not even 3G/4G, thanks to a combination of hills and NIMBYism about more towers. My family has to rely on a combination of a microcell and WiFi calling. It’s infuriating.

Actual discussion:

Guy: Come to this meeting or else they might put a 5G cell on a telephone pole right outside your house!

Me: OMG that would be amazing, yes please!
> “The process eliminates the need for an airline employee to manually check every boarding pass and passport while boarding a plane.”

But you can hold accountable an airline or customs gate agent who doesn’t have access to a library of images forming a signature of your face and who may be bound by policies or laws regarding privacy and identity that could be nearly impossible to enforce or even verify with a digital system.

> “No more fumbling with your boarding pass while you have two carry-ons, maybe a kid; no more trying to find your QR code or trying to refresh your screen.”

Yikes, this sounds like Idiocracy to me. I frequently am the befuddled dad traveling with kids and bags, and I can tell you that apart from very exceptional circumstances or special needs, this is not at all any kind of serious inconvenience that requires more surveillance culture. (And for truly special needs situations, there are many parsimonious solution possibilities that don’t use a bazooka to swat a fly like this face recognition system is doing...)
Well, the confusion sure seems intentional.

You still require humans to exert labor in all those steps. Post scarcity would require virtually no labor for them. We are very far away from that
Far more people in Marin County will die from diseases caused by air pollution from cars, exasperated by the bay area's inability to properly zone development and build real mass transit solutions. You would think that they would try to fix the actual problems in their community, but I guess it's easier to set policy based on an article they read on some conspiracy blog.

Your own link tells you exactly how it is elsewhere. Did you read it?

It also shows that 38% of CA's road funding comes from sources not tied to motor vehicle use (meaning sales taxes, income taxes, etc). The median US state (NH at 25 and ID at 26 derive only 48% of their road budget from road user fees. IMO, that means rideshare drivers are far from paying their fair share.
The scan takes fractions of a second and has shown to be 99 percent accurate during testing

Presumably it's 99% effective at matching random faces to the photos -- if a terrorist group has a pool of 1000 stolen passports, with a system that's only 99% effective at maching a random photo, I think they could do much better at finding a person (perhaps with some surgical alterations) that fits in that 1%.

The process eliminates the need for an airline employee to manually check every boarding pass and passport while boarding a plane.

So at least they are clear that this is a cost-saving method for airlines, it has nothing to do with speeding boarding or making boarding more secure.

This spring, Lufthansa announced that it boarded an A380 with over 350 passengers at LAX in less than 20 minutes—less than half of their normal time—using self-boarding gates linked to CBP’s facial-enabled traveler verification service,” McAleenan said. “No more fumbling with your boarding pass while you have two carry-ons, maybe a kid; no more trying to find your QR code or trying to refresh your screen.

Oh wait, I guess it is about speeding boarding... but is boarding pass scanning really what slows boarding? I always seem to get backed up in the line at the plane door, waiting for everyone to stow their carryons and sit down. Most busy flights have two agents scanning and most people who have flown more than once scan their pass/phone quickly.... I'm surprised it's any faster getting people to stand in the right spot and stand still for a photo.
