They are a bit expensive but prices have decreased rapidly over the last few years. You can get a good LIDAR for less than Tesla charges for their Autopilot. You can get consumer level ones that go out to 18 meters for around $100.
But how are you removing a asset from circulation? Like I asserted in my original post when you are not using money, somebody else is -- unless you are actually putting your cash in a vault.

When ever you store money in a bank, it gives the bank the ability to make loans using that very money to other people who then can start other businesses which intern then generate more exchanges of cash with other people.

So again, unless you are actually storing raw cash under your bed -- the fact that you are not spending it is not a ill effect on the economy as a while. I also postulate nobody has a bed big enough to store enough raw cash that the economy would ever notice.

In short I am calling BS on the idea that you can actually remove money from circulation -- other than actually destroying it that is.

Maybe I am still missing the point, but just because you have a bunch of money does not mean you need to make boat building jobs. The bank can easily loan the money out to any of the Congolese people who can show that boat building is a good business. And you who have made a bunch of money off speculation can be part of that by simply hording your money into a bank.
While this is certainly interesting it doesn't have as wide an application as you might think. In tobacco the harvested product of value is in the leaves, bigger leaves means a bigger crop.

But take corn, larger leaves and a taller plant doesn't result in bigger ears of corn. A taller plant in general means that it is more likely to lodge or fall down in the fall before it's harvested. Some corn is harvested as silage meaning the entire plant is chopped and fed to cows. I've worked with farmers who experimented with varieties of corn that would be 3-4 feet taller than regular corn. The result was less feed value per acre than what they had been growing.

With soybeans, wheat or oats you can also likely get an increased amount of disease with more foliage. This development may see more application than just tobacco but it remains to be seen.

How crazy is it that we not only know each other in real life because of Jabber, but also work together. :)

I have many, many fond memories of hanging out on the old IRCs with the Jabber crew. 20 years! Geeze.
I used the Kanji Odessy 2001 Anki deck back in the day when you could get your hands on it. It was 2000 sentences with audio ordered such that each sentence followed the n+1 model. Hands down the best resource.

It still takes a few hundred hours to get through the pain period.
What’s the anticipated trust level?

For most commerce, I need to be able to tell that you are the same “Spooky23” who was here last time.

If you need to positively and authoritatively identify me, collecting numbers is not sufficient. End of the day, these companies are either overcollecting for convenience or doing a poor job of collecting information for compliance purposes.

What you describe seems to be the "sweat of the brow" doctrine, which was rejected in the US by the 1991 Supreme Court case Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service.

Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_United_St... :

> The Copyright Act, § 103, allows copyright protection for "compilations", as long as there is some "creative" or "original" act involved in developing the compilation, such as in the selection (deciding which facts to include or exclude), and arrangement (how facts are displayed and in what order). Copyright protection in compilations is limited to the selection and arrangement of facts, not to the facts themselves.

> The Supreme Court decision in Feist Publications, Inc., v. Rural Telephone Service Co. clarified the requirements for copyright in compilations. The Feist case denied copyright protection to a "white pages" phone book (a compilation of telephone numbers, listed alphabetically). In making this ruling, the Supreme Court rejected the "sweat of the brow" doctrine. That is, copyright protection requires creativity, and no amount of hard work ("sweat of the brow") can transform a non-creative list (like an alphabetical listing of phone numbers) into copyrightable subject matter. A mechanical, non-selective collection of facts (e.g., alphabetized phone numbers) cannot be protected by copyright.

The standard for creativity under Feist is extremely low, but a scan of an out-of-copyright work is a mechanical encoding into bits, which is not creative at all, so does not add copyright protection.

Spending time and money on collecting the data is irrelevant to US copyright law.
There is no problem with assigning people a number. the problem is that people start using that number as Verification, not as an identifier.

People treat your SSN as a password, when really, it just uniquely identifies you. Its basically an Email Address, not a password.

Tech abuse, gets karma this way.
If apps behave like virus or meta-trojans all the time, it doesnt go unnoticed no matter how stealthy.
even android itself was bent in this direction, thats not to slag android tho, i think bluestacks is great.
for example> https://www.bluestacks.com/
and this too
https://bluestacks-app-player.en.uptodown.com/windows
surprising that so many people are not willing to recognize tech abuse when it happens, even more so is how people actually defend tech abuse as a sustainable practice.
the compromises that android, and apps have been subjected to are close to rendering mobile platform nothing more than an advertizing/marketing portal

Here in the Netherlands we are not charged for visiting the GP (thanks Theme Hospital for learning me this term). Only for specialist treatments or medicine after diagnose you pay either a deductible if it falls within base insurance or 'normal' prices if you're not additionally insured.

This is so nobody is discouraged from visiting the doctor for help.
That’s not a problem so long as the number is a non-secret identity rather than a secret used to verify identity. A social security number (or any such personal identification number in any country) is only an identifier and not secret. It’s like an email address, not like a password.

A leak of lots of non-secret data (eg email addresses) is an integrity problem not a security problem. A leak of passwords or other secret data is s security issue.

> But many of these companies experience difficulties with respect to their business models, as can be seen from a bevy of recent licensing schemes that attempt to straddle the line between open source and proprietary.

It's not clear to me that Open Core has really failed. Case in point, Elastic just IPO'd for billions and has an open core. In their case they completely develop their project. Their community is something of a user community, and the contributor community is heavily Elastic managed.

Sure those in the contributor community might complain about how hard it is to contribute, but 99.9999% of the community is more in the 'user' end of the spectrum and appreciate the stability of having a single company's vision and backing

I'm not sure its in the spirit of open source, but that's not the question. The question is about effective business models.

(more fundamentally 'open core' can mean so many different models it may be becoming meaningless)
What if the person traveling wants to use a SIM card from his country of origin in order to receive important calls but don't want to incur incredible expensive data roaming costs and decides to use a local prepaid sim on the iPad to achieve that?

Just... stop arriving to those definitive conclusions when there are a couple of variables involved.
Most advise is dangerous if taken way too literally. People just need to understand than they are conveying a message with their face, posture, and hand movements. Don't communicate a bad one or worse, one you don't intend to communicate. Managers sometimes have to deliver bad news that they might not be on board with. Don't make a bad situation worse by saying one thing and having your face betray you. I remember a training video I was forced to watch that had an actor say the exact same words three times with totally different meanings because of the signal their non-verbal communication was making.

Being stoic all the time communicates quite a lot and not in a good way.
Yes, I do. But it's still easy to recognize native germans
Product can be highly variable (or uncertain) so dev goals would focus on skills necessary to achieve said product. Ideally these skills a general and transferrable.

Have you ever read a white paper? You see how they manage to say that the product will solve every problem you have and nothing specific at all? Same idea.
It's a double-edge sword. Inherent hierarchies develop, but without being stated and defined, political types are less able to fully exploit them. But when they do, it's less obvious to the non-political types.
The most important factor is the cost. Developing and maintaining a mobile app is expensive, and often there is no justification for spending that money, especially given that most users expect apps to be free.
Are you in an area where Kaiser Permenente operates? It has been, on the whole, a great healthcare provider. The level of integration of their centers is great--I can walk downstairs for an MRI or Xray or lab test (no waiting for one doctor's office to phone in authorization/orders). Electronic records are fully and usefully integrated. Costs are relatively low, and there are several options of locations in my area--small, neighborhood office; a larger, integrated facility; and a 24-hour hostpital-like facility. They also have partnerships with other hospitals in my area, so I can go to other hospitals and be treated fully under KP insurance. There are so many advantages, I've kept my KP plan over several employers (including a stint on the Healthcare marketplace).

I also recall there being at one time a DOS-based magnetic field simulation software, but I can't recall the name of it. Probably could find it (or at least the shareware version) in a simtel archive somewhere.

If you really want a better answer for this, look into browsing and asking around one of the various "magnetic overunity" perpetual motion/energy sites out there. Tons of people out there using such software trying to crack the laws of thermodynamics and extract "free energy" from magnets - here's a start down that wormhole:

Arandr0x hasn't demonstrated his/her ignorance. I'm not sure what you hope to achieve by harping on the ignorance of unnamed persons who aren't participating in this discussion.
He is trying to whitewash his record, and that of Judy Miller (who escaped the full censure she deserved because she is a personal friend of Arthur Sulzberger, the owner of the NYT).

Risen should have been fired for the Wen-Ho Lee with hunt alone, where the Federal judge in charge of the case apologized on behalf of the judicial branch of the Federal government to Mr. Lee for the way he was mistreated, with Risen acting as a cheerleader for the notorious Notra Trulock.

He does have a point about the Plame affair, but there is a big difference between journalists helping cover up malfeasance in public office and those protecting whistleblowers. This could be addressed by extending the whistleblower statutes to cover journalists.
I feel like when people just say "tests" there's a lot of conflating. Usually, on a site like this or on a blog post, "tests" are referring to automated unit-testing or talking about TDD...which is probably most rare and most fought against in game dev (from what I've seen from an adjacent industry).

Testing, in general, is pretty essential to writing code that does what you want. Test code is just automating what you'd be doing manually and it's a lot faster to have the code do it than for me to do it 10 times. Even if that's printing out a value or showing it in a debugger. Testing frameworks or libraries to fuzz out problems and harden code are quite common. Game dev often has a lot of manual play testers. Most engines and dev consoles have a lot of tools to either just record the screen or save state when problems are seen.

Heck, most "cheat codes" were added to jump around the came to test for bugs. That's technically "test code."
It's not only the cost to encrypt something. It's the cost to create security policies, hire people who know the field, implement protections beyond encrypting data at rest, updating old software to deal with the new security measures, etc. It's never as simple as "just encrypt that field".

Until there's a good reason to do so people aren't going to bother.

> When I googled Naltrexone, it warns: “Alcohol: Avoid. Very serious interactions can occur”.

The whole point of using Naltrexone to treat alcohol abuse is to use the adverse reactions to foster aversion to counteract the desire to drink.

I'm a fairly new manager and I'm working really hard on how to word something like this to my devs. Do you have any advice for that?
Of course not. But it should be trivial to subtract the two known sets and check who is missing.
Why does this start downloading a file to my computer the moment I click on that link? That's pretty shady...
There are users who prefer to use a desktop web application than a mobile app. Many types of task are better on a large screen with a mouse and keyboard.

It depends on the type of app and target audience.
I strongly agree that EMRs are making this problem worse, not better. And doctors seem to hate quite ubiquitously the extra amount of documentation they have to do. While there is a lot of evidence in some areas that EMRs have improved quality of care and patients' lives, I don't think this is one of them.
It is funny how in these kinds of discusions it is always "you guys have excesive amount of A and not enought of B, whilst we have a perfect balace of A and B" instead of "you value A more than we do, but we like B more".
Are you the creator of VCV Rack? It’s a cool piece of software and certainly one of the most beautiful user interfaces I have used in an open source program.

The project website is cool as well. Very nice with the images of the rack in the mobile version :)
Then use an annoying lengthy in person procedure to issue a new one.
Not that one wants this sort of information to be leaked of course, but it's hard to see information that is routinely copied by hotel desk clerks and which is written down on countless forms is deeply sensitive information that will cause dire outcomes if it gets out.
These days European ones hopefully follow the GDPR at least.
The US/Allies were fine with the March 1917 revolution--the Karenski government kept shooting American/Allied bullets with American/Allied guns against the Germans on the eastern front. The Allies weren't happy with the Bolsheviks making peace with the Germans and then taking those guns and bullets and fighting other Russians with them.

Edit: In fact, the American president was more than pleased that in his request for the US to declare war that, with the "democratic" Karenski government, the war had become Democracy vs Autocratic and it was ok to enter at that point on the side of Democracy.
Note that there is USB 3.1 Gen1 (limited to 5Gbps) and USB 3.1 Gen2 (limited to 10Gbps).

Overall, I think a quick glance at the whole discussion under my comment proves my point quite well.
>One of the reasons that so many dogs end up in shelters and rescues is that people think this way. What people need to realize is that in many ways a dog is just like a baby that never becomes self sufficient.

No analogy is perfect and you shouldn't attempt to apply them beyond the scope of the intended similarities. A dog isn't like a baby in that babies require many hours of attention per day. Dogs do not, and the vast majority of dogs are fine being alone for a few hours.

>Rescue organizations typically have more applications than dogs (very different than a general shelter).

In my area the shelter has been taken over completely by a rescue organization. They conduct the rescue type perfect fit required interviews for all adoptions. They definitely do not have more applications than dogs.
> it just uniquely identifies you

not even. you need other data points, like DOB, to build enough uniqueness, and there are still many stories of collisions.
To be honest a lot of your suggestions are probably very solid but come off like the "Find a mechanic you can trust" solution.

By that I mean the advice of "find a mechanic you can trust" only is applicable to someone already familiar enough to know how to determine if a mechanic is trustworthy.

A lot of your advice is probably 100% valuable, but as someone working through a lot of these same concerns I'm stuck wondering "Well, how do I know I'm actually doing that?" It leads me to wonder if I'm actually successful at any of this or just Dunning–Kruger-ing my way through it.
> Do people really spend that much more time outside than I do? Am I some sort of sky-avoiding freak?

Haha, have you noticed how half of the cars suddenly have ski racks as of the past month or so?
...in absolutely no way is this true. Where did you learn this?

Who taught you that websites are 100 points worse (on whatever scale, you never say) than mobile apps?
Except it matters for the people that die in the meantime because someone believed the promise.
This app is pretty decent: https://www.falstad.com/vector3dm/

Looking at the source code, indeed many of the magnetic fields are computed via the Biot-Savart law, though some interesting ones are not. I might try rendering them.
I personally find that people in product, sales, upper management, etc... want to push for features, things being easy/fast, etc over everything else.

They tell developers to "not worry about it" and force deadlines on them that don't allow for doing things right.
"I then got hold of a 3.2TB Micron 9100 PRO NVMe SSD"

How does one "get hold" of a $3k SSD? This is awesome though, you clearly put a lot of work into this.
Yeah, I meant Constitutional law trumps state law but states can also decide to keep doing it, betting that the federal government won't bother to enforce.
"good enough for Google" == "nobody got fired for buying IBM"
The lack of clear vision in Linux system call design is a source of continual frustration. I feel like any time I or anyone else proposes generic ways to solve certain longstanding problems, the response is a hostile sort of "no" based on, ostensibly, lack of demonstrated use cases for genericity, but in actuality, I think, simple change aversion. The result is an accumulation of a pile of ad-hoc kludges and crud that do one thing or not the other (e.g., the batch-but-not-async and async-but-not-batch distinction the article mentions).

There needs to be more openness to providing general interfaces that solve whole classes of interface problems all at once, and without the technical conservatism that confronts people trying to contribute new interfaces.
Surely, but I think your danger meter may need recalibration here. Dying of toxicity of psilocybin is practically unheard of (unlike with alcohol, for example), and while there are no solid stats on injury/death related to behavior while on this drug, it is considered the safest of recreational drugs according to a recent global drug survey:
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/may/23/study-halluc...

Given the chances you'll be riding your bike among cars piloted by people on prescription painkillers or alcohol, I'd be surprised if riding a bike isn't significantly more dangerous than taking psilocybin, but once again, there are no good stats on psilocybin-related behavioral results so this is just speculation.
What an amazingly annoying hack to browse, you need to spend hours to just compile the whole thing.

It's not really that complicated to just create a magnet of a folder and then spend time spreading the magnet link.
I was once on a team that had a product with some crypto features that was under attack.

There was a hackers forum where daily discoveries were discussed.

It was indeed exhilarating, and exactly that way you describe it: on one hand, we didn't really want the thing to be cracked, but on the other it was impossible not to be rooting for those scrappy hackers going down the wrong path at first before figuring out the right one, one step at a time. Every morning, we'd log in to that forum to check their overnight progress.

Still, we were confident that our bank-strength crypto algorithm would prevail.

It did not. :-)

While we had done our due diligence, an external implementation partner had decided to change the audited code later in the process, which broke things completely, in the most embarrassing way.

In the end, it didn't matter, and we probably sold a few more units that what we would have sold without the broken crypto.

Fun times.

If it gets taken down, he'll probably be able to find another one.
Bread and butter is also 'open source', but not 'free'. There is no problem with 'open source' that is free for non-commercial usage and paid for commercial usage. Is this what GPL is about?
Ignoring the harm of the alternatives is also irrational. If you remove the wine you replace the calories with something else, and that will have its own risk numbers. Some studies sort of average that in but an average isn't nearly as good as numbers for specific items. You can't reasonably extrapolate total risk from one or two diseases either.

Dealing with tiny risk factors is very difficult, and it's easy to make the wrong conclusions. See also the vast majority of reporting on whether x food is good or bad for you.
It definitely shouldn't. What is the filename? Do you have any compromised browser extensions or malware on your machine?
I saw a video where a guy did an incredibly thorough review of a product. Just a guy who bought something that didn't have a lot of reviews, so he threw together a video in his garage and backyard.

Eventually it got to the point where he had one of the top videos when you look up the product name on YT. A bit later the company sent him a bunch of their other products and he reviewed them. It's smart for the company to do that, but it makes the subsequent videos feel just a bit tainted.
