No, it wouldn't. Prices and taxation regime will simply adjust. Proof? Last decade prices were hitting $130+, yet nobody died. Price of air travel have plummeted last decade, and been going up since then, despite kero getting cheaper! And so did many other fuel cost sensitive industries.

What you said above is a popular culture myth.
The article says that Muslim financing tradition prevents banks from paying interest, and they must instead share their profits. In recent years this has been higher than the meager interest offered by banks' traditional savings accounts, so it is attracting non-Muslims at a growing rate. There is some debate as to whether all of these products technically fit the definition/custom--as some banks are advertising a certain rate of return through profit sharing, making it very similar to interest.

I used to think that the treads actually ruin the road because it changes to contact surface on which you apply the power differential from a line (on a tire) to a rectangle(the tread), i.e. it tries to rotate a flat surface which can't be rotated, so somethings got to give. Arguably a tire wouldn't have the same problem.

Turns out they are phantom packages from vendors on Ali Baba and TaoBao gaming the review system. This is called "brushing".

They managed to interview a "brusher". So the brushers have to make themselves look completely real during the buying process, hesitating, clicking links from different vendors and only after a while select the actual item they target. To get the "verified purchase" tag something has to be mailed somewhere. But instead of the actual item the vendor sends a package with random stuff and sometimes they send these to addresses of previous unknowing international customers to make it look more real.

I recently attended a talk [1] by Robert C. Martin where he spoke eloquently and astutely for over an hour on the subjects contained in the diagram on a single slide. Afterwards, I was impressed by the quality and content of the talk, and didn't feel like I'd been hypnotised by yet another slide-by-slide "presentation".

A well-given talk should not require its contents to be summarized as it is being given. Pictures are worth a thousand words, so technical diagrams are an obvious exception (there are others) to that.

I think one of the things that makes a language have a for beginners bias against it is that a great amount of code is written in it by beginners just trying to get some cool shit done, and then when professionals look at the code in the wild they develop a negative opinion.

To change a negative opinion like that once developed you need real language evangelists, like Crockford was for JavaScript.

Yep, but the CCD was made by Fairchild. The only significant value add that Kodak had to bring to the table - film - was absent. It's not as if CCDs weren't being used to capture digital images before Kodak. They didn't even invent the digital imaging technology in the device. All they did was package it in a portable system.

I'm not trying to trash the achievement of constructing that device, it was a marvel of engineering, but I think it must have created a misconception in the company that they had a special competence in this area that they really didn't have.

I remember Kodak supporters constantly turning to this as the reason why Kodak would succeed, while it was visibly failing. They did develop a CCD sensor business, but they divested themselves of it in 2011 as part of a strategy that "it would sell assets that are not central to its transformation to a profitable, sustainable digital company".

History's best concept car designs – CNN Style
It all depends on how you use reviews, I guess. I look for obvious problems and cost that in. Anecdotally it’s fairly difficult to hide bad reviews. It’s your expectations that make you unhappy; I don’t expect much buying a product sight unseen.

You see the same issues on Yelp. Reviews are always a secondary indicator of quality compared to, say, experiencing it yourself or getting a recommendation from a friend. I’d guess that the review style that is best depends highly on the good or service being sold, much like establishing consensus, and there is no general purpose review pattern that works well.

> You need some low-level justification for using an uint32_t and such: like conforming to some externally imposed data format or memory-mapped register bank.

This is backwards. You should use uint32_t etc. like any higher-level language would, unless you have specific reasons to know you need a machine-sized type. Making your code behave differently in some arbitrary, untested way on machines with different default int sizes isn't going to make it "less limited", it's just going to make it broken.

ARCore and ARKit Feature Sets Compared to Hamsters and DaVinci
Very interesting--I had never heard of this before.

It seems the higher interest rate is predicated on finding investors who want to take loans at higher-than-market-clearing rates. Does anyone have any insight into why non-Muslims are getting loans through these banks? I don't see how this scales to consistently provide higher returns, especially as more money moves into this system. Are tobacco and alcohol related loans failing at a higher rate than the rest of the market?

Introducing Structured Scopes
About a year ago I was working on an API and needed to provide some scopes to my JWT. To my surprise, there was no real standard way to define and implement scoping. I did some research and every implementation I found was somewhat different and specific to an individual use case.

Looking at RFC 6749 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-3.3) re; OAuth, I found the requirements to be fairly loose. I needed something more ordered, and ... well, structered.

Hence, I introduce Structured Scopes, a specification on how scopes can be defined and accepted regardless of the platform or implementation. The specification is on GitHub (https://github.com/ahopkins/structured-scopes).

I have been working on this for quite a while now, and its earliest implementation was inside one of my python open source projects Sanic JWT (https://github.com/ahopkins/sanic-jwt/blob/dev/sanic_jwt/validators.py). However, the idea is broad enough to be implemented in any language. And, in fact I do not believe that its usage is limited to web development alone, although that is its intended target.

A real short overview is that a scope is made up of 2 parts: namespace and action(s).

A base scope is matched by any inbound scope bearing the same namespace, and (if defined) the same actions.

Perhaps a few examples will illustrate the idea:

| Base scope | Inbound scope | Expected outcome |

|user|something|fail|

|user|user|pass|

|user|user:read|fail|

|user:read|user|pass|

The specification has a lot more examples, or you can see the tests on my Python repo (https://github.com/ahopkins/sscopes-python/tree/master/tests).

Please let me know your thoughts. I will be releasing a python implementation (https://github.com/ahopkins/sscopes-python) in the coming days to PyPI, and will begin working on some in other languages as well.

Amazon is now in the business of selling a lot of cheap crap instead of promoting quality articles. Everyone I ever talked to about this noticed it and most are looking for other ways to buy their stuff.

They are also actively engaging in fraud by having up fake reviews for low quality prime articles and then closing the reviews for said articles so legit buyers can't review them. When you report it, you get the usual "we are looking into it", but nothing ever happens.

You'd expect this kind of shady behavior from a company that is in financial trouble and I wonder how they'll deal with their tainted image going forward.

There were a bunch of oil development projects that started up 10 years ago at $100+/barrel prices which were put on hold. IT is surprising how quickly they can be brought online.

Last time the oil price peaked we saw how effective technological change is at opening new fields and techniques.

There is also a whole bunch of Russian and deep offshore fields which become economical at high prices too.

> creating a modern implementation from scratch and it gaining some traction, basically what Clojure did for Common Lisp

it's not a new implementation - it's a fully incompatible new language. Zero CL code runs in Clojure because the operators are incompatible/different and any existing CL code needs to mostly re-architected, since Clojure has a very different approach (more functional, less object-oriented, less state, lazy data structures, no linked lists, hybrid libraries /language partly using hosted language, ...).

The difference is that we don't assume there is this one winning variant. Let's say you have a product that works for both, large enterprises and small businesses. Both visitors end up on your pricing page at some point - the enterprise customer has clicked around in the documentation looking at SLAs and other enterprise stuff and the small business visitor has focused on getting started pages primarily. When they end up on the pricing page you would ideally want to focus on showing/highlighting enterprise pricing and mentioning all those enterprise features again for the enterprise customer, while the small business customer gets to see small business pricing and that it's easy to use. AddAI automates figuring out those combinations and over time learns to show the right thing automatically.

Matrix Sequel Has Hacker Cred (2003)
I don't live in the US/UK/Europe so Amazon deliveries are things I pay a lot for and take a while to get to me. So when I buy something, I have to be damn sure I'm going to like it. That's lead to the following strategy: filter reviews to only look at 1-star and 2-star reviews and make sure you can live with it if all the things people say there end up being true. It's served me well so far and no amount of 5* reviews will change my decision to buy or not. Also, I look for things elsewhere, and only go to Amazon for buying, I don't use their search. That helps a lot as well
