I've seen people paying 30% of hospital bills with "full coverage" insurance. The insurance doesn't actually insure you, they just give discounts for a monthly subscriber fee. It is really really stupid.

A second huge problem is that governments ... don't know how to do security. So they just mandate some random measures.

And then the problem is that people follow their measures ... and see this as absolving them of further responsibility. In many cases in the financial world that isn't just laziness: that's actually how the law works.

So much of the regulation burden doesn't just force the whole market into large companies, it actually opens up and legally mandates not security, but security holes.

> Does sexual reproduction formally require sexual intercourse? At this point I'm out of my depth. :p

Yes, but not necessarily sex (e.g. pollination), but it's exclusively sex for mammals. We do not know of any other method for mammal reproduction other than sex. This puts mammals in a very weird spot since they're the only known group in animals that have not been observed to reproduce non-sexually.

Yes, but compared to Switzerland there is no annual cap. If you have 3 medical incidents in the same year you pay the deductible on each. This means the insurance doesn't actually protect you from financial ruin if enough bad stuff happens to you, thus defeating the point of the insurance all together.

In Haskell, these direct equivalents aren’t bad at all:

cityToState = Map.fromList
[ (city, state)
| (state, cities) <- Map.toList citiesByState
, city <- cities
]

cityToState = Map.fromList $ do
(state, cities) <- Map.toList citiesByState
city <- cities
pure (city, state)

For multiple “nested loops”, I generally prefer do-notation over both list comprehensions and combinators such as concatMap, unless the structure is simple enough that the combinator version is much shorter.

From Wikipedia: The bills in both House and Senate had bipartisan support, as well as strong support from numerous music industry groups representing musicians, producers, and publishers, as well as from digital streaming media services and related industry groups.

Notably missing from the list are musicians themselves (who are the "groups representing them"?) and consumers.

Is this actually a good thing? Will it lead to greater income for the majority of musicians (as opposed to the top 0.1%?). Will it end up raising prices on Spotify or making it harder for new streaming competitors to enter the market?
And as we noticed in 2000, 2008 and in the EU crises:

Regulation does not work either. For 2 main reasons:

* Regulations are stupid and do not catch all problems, which then causes those uncaught problems to become systemic and threaten not just the bank, but the entire country, because regulation often also forbids or discourages banks from checking other problems (or at the very least pushes an attitude of "if you check compliance with the regulations, security check done"

* Governments cannot be trusted to carry out the regulations ("too big to fail")

Find it interesting that the article seems to place the blame on the women, when it's long been said that the docs and hospitals, ever in search of time compression and profits, were encouraging c-sections versus vaginal birth.

> I find a majority is pro-Russian

Where are the pro-russian comments?

> but I wonder if the issues that Reddit identified with the campaigns by Russian entities may be as far reaching as YC.

You mean the nonsense they had to push to appease the media right? Glad you didn't bring up the $200,000 that some russian company supposedly spent on facebook to win trump the election. If the russians had been running a propaganda campaign on reddit, they did a piss poor job because 99% of the propaganda on reddit has been anti-russia since the very beginning.

> The content of the comments is interesting too, attacking the reputation of journalist.

So criticizing journalists ( an occupation that has lost an incredible amount of credibility recently ) means that you are a russian? I guess that makes 80% of the US population russian agents. But what about journalists who critize other journalists? Doesn't that make them russian agents too? Oh dear.

To me, the only suspect comment in this entire thread is yours. Or maybe that's because I'm a russian agent. /s

Seems like the whataboutism propaganda campaign has morphed into the "everyone's a russian agent" campaign. Wonder what it'll morph into next.

Keep in mind that Congress, EU parliament, EU commission and I'm sure many others were all hacked in the past 2 years. Needless to say, they all see themselves as above this whole regulation thing.

And of course, those penalties cannot come from the tax coffers. They need to be leveled against the pay of the politicians, because otherwise how could they ever work ?

Launch vehicles are similar to commercial aviation. They are very risk averse, they do not adopt new technologies nearly as quickly. There is a good reason for this, they let other industries vet technologies so it is known to be reliable by the time aerospace uses it.

Also another consideration is the additional radiation concerns in space. Newer processors are more susceptible to single event upsets. So more processing power needs to be devoted to error checking or additional weight is necessary to rad harden the component.
You did provide ID which I believe is a big difference compared to just pressing accept. No signature?

Just because the EULA isn't legally binding doesn't mean that the company in question can't act upon it. But you have no legal obligation to follow the EULA (because you didn't sign it).

When it comes to a "physical" license that makes it a bit more tricky, I'm not sure of the details. But they certainly can revoke the online-aspect of a product (tesla will (I believe) revoke super-charger access and mobile-app access if they feel that you violated their terms).

If you cheat in a multiplayer game that will probably violate the EULA (but not any laws). If you are caught you will likely be banned.

> * What about Netflix accounts, is my girlfriend not bound by the ToS when I was the one who clicked Agree, and thus she could legally rip their content and share it? Very weird. *

You both could legally rip their content (as long as you don't break any laws doing so (and by ripping and circumventing their encryption you most likely would break a few laws)). If they detect it they can and probably will terminate your account (even if what you did was legal). But you didn't break any laws by not following the EULA.

IANAL.

Hi plaidfuji! I did try HoughLinesP during experimentation. I vaguely remember (since this was almost 2 years back) getting the actual line segment as a combination of multiple smaller line segments in all cases (which could then be combined to form the actual segment using some heuristic). It came down to getting the actual table line segment out which a combination morphological transformations and cv2.findContours provided (without the need for another combining step).

TTF is a CRDT-like approach. They both maintain an extra data structure including tombstones. And TTF-operations are only applied on the designed data structure. To be applied on the document visible to users, TTF-operations need to be translated like CRDT.

Your solution is to combine GOTO with TTF. Actually, it is a combination of OT and CRDT.

> People adapt to crap.

And these are not trivial adaptations.

I'm 49. I got my first computer at 10. I've been dealing with family, friends, coworkers, and church congregants ever since about how to use computers and software and web sites. What I've just come to realize is how much effort normal users put into getting their stuff to work, because, when it finally comes time for them to ask for help, they are resistant to changing anything about their behavior. That tells me that they have SIGNIFICANT investment into getting to the place they already are.

Perfect, ready example: It's telling that my wife and kids struggle to find files they've saved on a MacBook, which should be the KING of usability. I mean, this is a problem we should have solved 20 years ago, right? Yet, any time I suggest ways to search or sort in Spotlight or Finder, I get pushback about not having time to learn how to do it better.

I think about all the stupid crap I put up with from computers and web sites on a daily basis -- as a full-time programmer/sysadmin/devop -- and I despair. I just had to register an account to download Docker to my work computer. And wait for the confirmation email. And fish it out of my spam folder. And fish the saved password out of Firefox's password manager, which had saved it under a different domain. You and I, as people who read this site, deal with this crap all. day. long. I'm totally with Jaron: How do normal people deal with this world WE have created?

> They can't keep themselves secure... they can't police themselves?

What does that have to do with it? Better laws on security will force the government to police itself better too.

Simple example: a law requiring all passwords to be stored with unique salt and encryption of certain minimum strength. Or a law preventing IoT devices from functioning on a network when their password is still set to the default.

How do you fail to see how simple actions such as these would help?

> Wait, what? From what I've always understood, the math behind de Broglie-Bohm interpretation results in the same exact results as the Copenhagen interpretation.

The de Broglie-Bohm interpretation is not the same as the pilot-wave theory, which was never fully fleshed out. de Broglie-Bohm is valid and makes the same predictions as the standard interpretation, but as I understood it, has never been generalized to the relativistic versions of the standard theory. That is, there is no de Broglie-Bohm version of quantum field theory.

This is discussed in the article; the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation relies on a global pilot wave, which has non-locality issues that pilot wave theory hoped to avoid.

> It shouldn't be possible for any "computer simulation" to disprove it, by definition.

Here I believe they are disproving the idea that the oil droplets riding the pilot waves cannot result in the double-slit interference pattern, using standard fluid mechanics (which appears to be Tomas Bohr's area of expertise).
the whole reason behind such a system would be so that the other parties don't know that they're conversing with an ai representation of myself. otherwise they'll just ask for me instead.

May I ask why you made this source code publicly available but didn't put a license on it? What was your motivation?

In general, using unlicensed software code poses a large risk for any serious company (corporations even use specialized software to check the license of every open-source project they use), so you might be able to convince them to buy a proper license from you or stop using the code. If they won't you can take legal action.
Because the article was written in 1997.
"Do you accept cookies" is only relevant because there isn't a separate login mechanism in HTTP. Actually knowing whether you are sharing data with the website, and what website that is, would be a major improvement. Security measures don't have to be 100% effective. Just like road safety you should focus removing the impact of flaws, not to prevent flaws as such. A separate authentication mechanism would remove a large amount of security issues, including potentially phishing and password leaks entirely. These common security issues of compromising the system of the user or the company would simply not have the same impact anymore.

A not insignificant part of the large Internet companies power comes from that they are the only ones who can handle, or people trust to handle, security. It isn't that hard today to create your own e-mail system or smart phone. But managing those systems, especially for a reasonable cost at scale, is just beyond what most new entrants in the market can handle.

From my personal experience, I rarely travel to github.com directly. I either go to a link of some repo I'm interested in, or I have github.com/login bookmarked so it goes to the login page.
Normally I am still logged in too, so github.com goes to my dashboard(?) page anyway.

I think you have to ask, if someone is going to github.com, what are the chances they don't have an account and so signup is more applicable. Rather than users who probably have somewhere specific to go or are logged in already and will bypass that page.

Just my two cents.

I do understand where you're coming from and vaguely remember thinking the same when I first started using github.
