What does "real property costs" mean when we're talking about the city government, who are the ones that have the most say in deciding where, when, and at what cost to build bulk low-income housing?
I think a big factor in restaurants trying, and failing to implement no-tipping is that society expects to do it. A good portion of people just won't accept not doing it.

He "donated" to his own charity which he and his wife controls.

But since you asked, about 5 years. His net worth was about $67 billion in 2013. Now it's about $95 billion.
My sense of absolute pitch decays with time. If I've been practicing my instrument a lot, then I can maintain absolute pitch for maybe a few days, e.g., recognize what key something is in. After a month, e.g., on family vacation, it's gone.

But I can always recognize intervals just fine.

Actually, privacy is not taking that data in the first place.
Usually the “big” qualifier is a fuction of RAM, not hard disk space. Getting hundreds of petabytes of data onto persistent storage in a “large” room has been possible for many years now.

“Big” data was never about how to store the data.
> In the tipping model, a very efficient server could, say, serve 100 miffins/hr and be tipped 20% each accordingly. A fast, but rude server could serve 100 muffins, but perhaps get 0-10% tip each sale. A slow, but polite server may only serve 50 muffins, but garner 20% tip each.

Well, sure, in some world where tipping actually reflects service and politeness alone, rather than being significantly determined by gender, race, and attractiveness.

> If you simply jack the muffin price up and distribute equally among all servers, as you suggest, then there is no incentive to perform above average - no lesson learned for lackluster performance.

Sure there is, employers can monitor performance and use pay incentives (and punitive disincentives, including termination.)

Employers of workers in customer service jobs in industries that aren't typically tipped do this (and even in tipped industries, they do some monitoring and at least the negative incentives.)

>fact that products sole purpose is to establish a secure chain of trust

I think the right way to explain it is that "Titan" is the project to establish a secure chain of trust from user to server and back, making sure that every piece of hardware and software (and every human in the chain) is what it says it is and is doing what its supposed to be doing.

From that perspective, the Titan M, titan key, and serverside titan chip[1] are all pieces of the same project.

Yeah, it’s a hard problem. And I think GP is right in the sense that being good stewards of their power will forestall any legislative action targeted against them. The Bell monopoly persisted for years by being on good terms with the government. Which is ironically an incentive for them to take defense and intelligence contracts.

> I wait for the detection of an high energy neutrino event from beyond the CMBR

My (non-physicist) understanding of this, is that neutrinos from then will be quite low energy now, due to the expansion of the universe(?), and so not detectable by the method IceCube uses. There is a minimum energy required, in part because the charged particles generated by the neutrino interaction need to be moving faster than the speed of light in water (or whatever the detection medium is) for there to be Cherenkov radiation generated and then detected.

That said, I would love to see a response from a more knowledgeable person!

When you buy products on Amazon, do you look for more expensive or less expensive listings?
Impractical to many, you still look like an idiot talking to your rist, just a 3.5" android from a major OEM (good battery and build, no spyware) will suffice.
Not that the specific number is worth litigating, but worth mentioning: a sales team, marketing department, IT guy, and all that are part of the competing consultants cost basis, and not so much the value they offer clients. Unless you're selling gypsum, for the most part, nobody is buying based on your cost basis. You're either doing something worth $X, or you're not.
Ok, we'll use that above.
It is right, they say it is cheaper than most audits.

Roughly the same as it means for everyone else, because of the last clause of the 5th Amendment.

> who are the ones that have the most say in deciding where, when, and at what cost to build bulk low-income housing?

The question was about running he city, not building low income housing, but in either case the labor and real estate prices in the area party a significant role.
That website doesn't list a price, but I doubt that running a rack of these would be cost-effective. I wouldn't be surprised if those drives have a cost per terabyte at least a couple of times that of commodity drives.
Many of the most severe users of multiple systems are astronomically expensive. Almost $100k/yr per person. It's emergency room visits that aren't paid for, ambulance time, nurses, doctors, surgery, helicopter rides to trauma centers, everything.

It's not effective because it doesn't address any of the root problems. It just patches the person up and sends them out again, until they have another heart attack or psychotic break and end up running up another hospital bill.

You don't need 4500 to provide global coverage and handle 100m users. And besides, this isn't about orbits, that is about load balancing. Orbits alone doesn't even describe your coverage area. They do provide an upper bound on your viewable area, but you're never going to reach that.
> We used to write our own stories in Jira and they were mostly one liners. They have now implemented so many required fields to fill out. Filing out one story might take 30 minutes.

Perhaps you should embrace this. Spending time at the story level means you spend early effort to clarify the issue and specify the (possible) solution. In other words: planning.

I know this may seem like it sucks and is not really worth it, but it is often really valuable, especially as you grow and scale. Your company has been bought by a larger one. Obviously one value of this is to use the larger company’s resources to scale faster.

Maybe some of the story requirements are extraneous, but perhaps you should work with central management to improve the jira story requirements not fight against them.

The major concern surrounding voting machine or ballot tampering is usually at early voting locations, since there it is typical to leave the ballot boxes and/or voting machines unattended overnight. The state I'm a poll worker in does have reasonable additional precautionary measures, such as printing and retaining daily open and close reports from the digital tabulators to guard against overnight ballot stuffing, but this does present an opportunity to do something like tampering with the machine so that it incorrectly tabulates future ballots.

Not really an easy attack but still a possible one, and these machines have not established a strong reputation for protection against something like a firmware implant

This state uses and retains paper ballots, so it would be yet more difficult to design an attack that would withstand an audit of the paper ballots. But some states don't...

Somehow my sympathy for anybody who invests in a cryptocurrency called BOOTY that's stored on a SpankChain is somewhat limited. Particularly since, once again, the money wasn't really "hacked" or "stolen", just taken by somebody who exploited a contract. Code is law, right?

...and I don't have a lot of sympathy for SpankChain people either.

I've been rejected at least twice during interviews (that I can remember) just this year. For sure twice by recruiters last year as well

I live in Manhattan and I can promise you it is no ghost town. I don't know too much about the historical record on Rome, but from reading Wikipedia, your hypothesis doesn't seem well supported.

Finally! I'm glad this is being said out loud. I am so tired of companies implementing only SMS-based authentication. It's totally insecure and inadequate!
There's probably some good discussion to be had around that, but whenever anyone in the US talks about the injustice of the top 1%, I can't help but wonder: if we calculated how much of the world's wealth the 99% in America owned, would they feel contrition for their injustice?

Given that the US has 25% of the world's wealth, and the lower 99% of the US population has 60% of the US's wealth, it stands to reason that "the 99%" have a full 15% of the world's total wealth. Given that the US has ~4% of the world's population, surely resolving "the wealth disparity" is more likely to lower their position than raise it.

"Hey! wassap, how's life?? Want to go grab lunch next week?" I never schedule anything during the weekend, only during the week. And I don't mind travelling out to see

Literally, that's what I will send to one of my ex-coworkers, or vice versa. It's not anything more than that. Either through gChat or Facebook Messenger, I don't find it that hard, and I don't feel like I need excuses.

I recently went to a going-away/layoff party for one of the first engineers I worked under in Silicon Valley, 20+ years ago. I hadn't personally talked to him in 10+ years, but he was delighted to see me. We shared war stories about our old company, dot com bust, etc. It was great, and doesn't have to be anything more than that.
> Keeps work stuff super focused and clean, for me.

That's exactly why I find this setup so appealing; it really works with the natural tendencies of our minds, as opposed to constantly presenting us with a situation where we have to choose not to do one of the many distracting options just a twitch of the finger away.
I'm reading up on the author's Symmetric Interaction Calculus now, this stuff is wild and fun!
I don't think you're wrong about what drives a lot of people to buy this stuff, but I also don't think these products are without value.

I'd agree that there's some potential value for the right people, and I definitely agree in doing whatever makes your process work. If you work best emailing yourself passages you bang on out your phone on the train, curling up by a window, at a computer with no network or games, sitting at a desk with no random objects to fiddle with, running WordStar in a DOS box, writing with pen and paper—that's all good. (I myself use Emacs; low distraction, so long as I don't open a web page or play Tetris or whatever in that window.)

But, I think that's distinct from how these products are generally marketed, which has been more on the exercise machine or gym membership model: aimed at the people who won't use them. Some people will use them, but they aren't the target. Freewrite was always marketed fetishisticly, going back to when it was "Hemingwrite". Low-distraction word processors harped on how "beautiful" the program looked as much as the minimization of distractions. They're more about provoking the aspiration to write rather than selling a tool for the job.
I have no idea who this is for. Non-technical people don't care, and this is still too complex for them. Technical people can use Fastmail or other secure, hosted options. $500 for proprietary hardware is so steep, there are software options for the Rpi that do something similar for $40!
There was an initiative in Seattle to charge a head tax, with one of the likely reasons to go after companies like Amazon that put a lot of what would be profit back into R&D, keeping the technical profits low. There was a lot of pushback from the Seattle community since the initiative was created and pushed from the city council themselves and not the people and thankfully it was defeated. Sounds bites like 'TAX AMAZON!' sound very good to people who think you're taxing Amazon specifically, but after people see that it's actually taxing a lot of other companies including small-ish companies it turns out to be a not-so-good proposition.
Keep it to yourself, and it will probably go another 10 years before someone in the IBM behemoth discovers it to shut it down.

Continuation-passing style in Python
Other good replies in this thread — I will just add some examples of why SMS-based 2FA is less secure than pretty much any other 2FA method.

Example 1: at a first approximation, 100% people have their phones set to display the content of SMS messages even if the phone is locked. So gaining the physical possession of a phone (even for a brief time) allows the attacker to gain access.

Example 2: taking out a SIM from a modern phone takes less than 10 seconds. Again, at a first approximation, 100% people have no PIN on their SIM cards. The card can be inserted into another phone and used to gain access immediately. Note that while you might notice that your phone is missing, you might not immediately notice that your SIM is missing.

I'm not even considering other (more complex) ways of redirecting SMS messages.

And what I hate most are services which allow you to use SMS or a phone number to recover/unblock your account. That makes it so much easier for attackers go gain access. The only way to recover your account should be with recovery codes. If you lose those, there should be no way to recover.

Sadly this happens frequently in the world of vintage computing. Hoarders collect stuff for years, get deep in the red, and then must get rid of everything RIGHT NOW or else everything's destroyed.

The mentality of hoarding doesn't allow for slowly parting out collections and maximizing preservation, which is what we should be trying to achieve.
Will Weather Undeground iOS app continue to work?
Election administration is by state in the US. To my knowledge, every US state except for West Virginia allows some form of "observer" or "challenger" (or sometimes both with different purposes), often appointed by either political parties or candidates. It's a bit of a patchwork from state to state, but yes, in general, there is a system of interested persons observing the polling place.

(In this state, observers and challengers are different, with challengers specifically serving the purpose of challenging individuals that may not actually be qualified to vote. Since the pollbooks are electronic today challengers are rarely seen, they were generally only able to challenge clerical errors that are no longer seen with computer pollbooks)

According to your link, the top 1% of relief beneficiaries consume 25% of relief budget.

That number is absolutely jaw dropping to me. I expected it to be a skewed distribution, but that amount is just truly incredible.

It's a testament to how inefficient the current system is at helping those who need serious help, and should be a wake-up call to those who think throwing more money at the problem will actually fix anything.

Hi,

Let's assume that we made it more expensive to produce the staple foods such as eggs and chicken meat. We have a certain population of people subsisting on food stamps. Given we don't want to starve them, they need to be compensated for the corollary increase in the price.
Is there a financial mechanism that ensures such a compensation?

Well I might be a good example. I’m highly technical and I never want to try configuring an email server again. Did that once and no thanks. I can do it, but since it’s not a particular technical subdomain I have much experience with and its difficult and time consuming. And doing maintenance is just an ongoing headache I don’t want.

However, I recognize the value of having my email served and saved on premises. If I could have a fairly secure and automated backup from my local files, that’s great.

If I can also use a self hosted webmail interface then I want that too.

I agree that $500 is a lot, but it’s not an absurdly large amount.
