Credit allows people to purchase things beyond their current wealth but rather within their future means to pay (their future productivity and trustworthiness). This is particularly useful for those who aren't born into wealth: Credit is practically the only way for normal folks to access productive capital, such as a home that allows you to avoid paying rent, or an education that in theory makes you more productive in the future.

You are correct to point out that the prediction of one's future ability to pay (their future productivity and trustworthiness) is difficult. But I think eliminating credit (at least when used to purchase productive capital) is throwing the baby out with the bath water.
The opposite is true to me. The film was OK, but the show was excellent.
FISA warrants don't apply to this situation at all: they only apply within the US.

And even within the US, FISA warrants are only applicable to data collected which is intended to be presented in court. The CIA and NSA have no mandate whatsoever to gather data suitable for presentation in court, and investigatory agencies such as the FBI/DEA/ATF, which do have such a mandate, have lots of ways to launder evidence. In practice, FISA warrants are often issued long after the data has already been collected, and the FISA warrant is only requested as a means of laundering the evidence via one of the exceptions to fruit of the poisonous tree (parallel construction, inevitable discovery, or the good faith exception).

As it applies to this situation, I don't see any reason to believe the US is any less likely to spy on anyone than China. If you don't have the means to produce needed technologies yourself, then I'd choose the US or Chinese manufacturers based on other factors, such as cost, or which nation has incentives to use the data they collect against you.

I’m not disputing Ms. Gross’ talent as an interviewer, genuineness, or work ethic. And the question is appropriate for an interview, specifically because it’s diplomatic and open ended.

Certainly when talking to people we won’t have the same resources and ability to research the person we speak with the same way Ms. Gross has with the persons she interviews. And in the context of “talking to people” I don’t think this particular question is going to make a good reflection on the asker. If you have literally nothing else to say, then fine, but again that typically shows lack of wit and charisma. I’d recommend starting with a personal observation of the person that is clearly meaningful to the person you engage, in which you have a guinuine interest.

I don’t disagree. But you have to start somewhere. I’ve seen so many computer science majors who couldn’t get their foot in the door because they knew “theory” but couldn’t compete with developers from other countries that actually focused on learning what they needed to get a job, had experience and they are willing to work for less.

Of course that’s not meant to be a knock against them. I agree with them.

Yes in theory, I’m a “developer”, but I don’t compete in the market by studying leetCode and algorithms. I compete by being able to discuss architecture.

I’m actually in the weird position that half my learning agenda for 2019 is getting caught up on the cool kids front end frameworks of the week. I’ve been focused so much on higher level “architectural theory” and the back end for the last few years, I haven’t been keeping up on the front end. It’s weird because yeah, I make more than most “full stack developers” in my market, but if I had to get a job tomorrow, I don’t have the table stakes to outcompete a developer with four years of experience when a company wants someone that can hit the ground running now. Especially if they are looking for contractors.

Sure, I am qualified for an over paid “digital transformation consultant”, “cloud consultant” type of role, but those aren’t as plentiful.
A perspective from Wozniak from supermemo:

The core knowledge of intelligent thinking, in mathematics and beyond, is the rules of mathematical derivation in the most abstract and universally applicable form. Those rules can be applied in a myriad of daily situations. This universal applicability in problem solving makes the basis of what others consider an intelligent person. If properly formulated and represented for learning, these rules can be memorized in a standard way; in other words, memorization can be a way toward intelligence!"

>"Can't we just look at the actual rate of death from brain cancer (death rates not diagnosis rates since this reduces the bias from changes in how often it is detected), and see if there's been an increase in brain cancer?"

Just seeing an increase could be due to anything, the prediction "if cell phones could cause cancer then there would be an increase" is too vague.

Instead someone needs to come up with a mathematical model that predicts a precise pattern of cancer due to a precise exposure schedule. Then that model would need to be verified later on new data. That type of "testing a precise prediction against real world observational data" study is actually the gold standard of science (eg, astronomy). You need to do the hard work of coming up with the precise model though, and people attracted to medicine generally dont like math.

It's possible but I think corporate interests, rather than our energy independence, will be the driving force of US foreign policy as it had been in the past. As long as banks, oil companies, etc stand to make a lot of money in the middle east, our foreign policy won't change much.

Profits for generics are too low and there are no new market participants because outlays for initial investment and conformance testing is too high. Generics manufacturing is a strange beast, there are surprisingly few players involved, there is very little overcapacity, and that's not a good situation.

That is the only issue I tackled in the platform.

Right.

In the UK, societally, we've decided that we don't value everyone having a decent place to live.

We don't seem to really have a "goal" for our society, I think. Maybe "everyone should have a job". But that's indirect; people want jobs because they (ideally) result in outcomes like feeling like you're contributing and receiving a stable life in response.

"Everyone gets a house if they want" is a really solid goal to aim for that we've just sort of given up on. It's not unviable at all, it's just politically been brushed aside.

Beyond that, it's more a look into the mindset someone requires to be a successful entrepreneur. It's not about the technology, the architecture, or the language. It's about identifying a problem, and getting people to pay you for a solution. The technology is tertiary.
> but that mean http3 is going to use UDP

Yes.

> there is going to be a new TCP named TCP/2

No.

There is a new protocol called QUIC, which runs on top of UDP. That is, to routers/firewalls/middleboxes etc. that are not specifically aware of QUIC, it will just look like UDP traffic.

QUIC provides TCP-like features (reliable streams, with retransmissions of dropped packets etc.) plus more. As to why QUIC instead of improving TCP; experience has suggested that TCP has essentially become ossified, meaning that middleboxes will drop TCP packets using new features (see e.g. ECN). Thus in QUIC there's a focus on ossification-resistance (mandatory encryption, and as little information as possible exposed outside the encryption, etc.).

HTTP3 runs on top of QUIC (which runs on top of UDP). Hopefully that makes it clearer.

As far as EU citizens vs. residents, that concept ought to be clear: an EU citizen doesn't have protection of EU laws when outside of the EU just as an American banking in France isn't protected by US banking laws. The passport of a complainant isn't relevant, but their physical location.

Yes, that's a common point of confusion, but it's completely correct: the GDPR applies to people in the Union, not to EU citizens everywhere (for non-EU companies, that is - an EU company has to apply the same protections for every user in the world).

Nah, that would a very wrong approach. If you want any chance, a Lisp machine needs to run on current OS. It needs to run on Linux, Windows, OSX. It's very easy to run on any OS, besides VM, we have seen linux subsystems for windows, ios, windows call on linux. And even user land kernel with gVisor, so build it on current OS.

They look nice, but I can’t help question how safe they really are, they’re more like giant baskets woven together by artists as opposed to calcuated engineering by engineers.
As an Indian - yeah Mosquitos are a real problem in SE Asia. The usual techniques of dealing with them are - use mosquito nets. In a different video the owners have a mosquito net on the bed frame. Usually with mosquito net, they are a non-issue during night time. The hard to deal with problem is evening time.

The truth is - these houses will never be as comfortable as a centrally air conditioned houses of US. Evening problem can be somewhat dealt with blinds and nets that close off the house after sunset. But the best method is, usually to turn-in early to bed. That is what, people who live in villages do. In the end - owners have to adapt and I do not think these houses are for everyone.

I think the parent is referring to being able to grow easily. Per the video, an 18m timber can be grown in 3 years.

Season 2 of The Wire portrays the decline of the working class (longshoremen). It also paints what I perceive to be one of the most compelling and multidimensional depictions of an archetypal Trump supporter (along economic lines).

I watched it, and then I noticed how Trump talked.

He talked just like them.

I think more academically minded, "educated" folks should watch it. It's a different world from our own, and one we don't fully understand.
I think this is the most plausible meaning yes. My reading was pretty naive. As for the "I work in insurance" part, I always thought it was her job before the plague, and maybe it meant that the caste of "scientists" who were ruling in the future were actually mostly con-people, self-proclaimed "scientists" who took advantage of the collapse to take control. It doesn't really make sense in a way, they invented time travel after all. In my defense, I saw this movie when I was pretty young so most likely missed a lot of subtleties.

I don't think a Lisp machine would make much sense these days, as far as the hardware is concerned. Designing and building CPUs is very expensive, and the small market for such a machine would make them prohibitively expensive.

But an operating system built around the idea could be quite interesting. From what I know, the systems running on the Lisp machines of the 1980s were nightmares from a modern security perspective. But the idea of having a closely integrated development-runtime-environment centered around Lisp is appealing, I think.

Except that building an OS from scratch is a lot of work, at least if you want to support a reasonable range of hardware. But maybe you do not even need that. Now that I think of it, one might build a desktop environment for a modern Unix-ish system that aims to reproduce the Lisp machine development environment of the olden days. This would also allow one to harness the existing Lisp implementations. Does anyone know of such a project?
