The only real problem with most of these "identity theft" problems are that lenders are not punished/fined when they lie to credit bureaus and say you borrowed some money instead of someone who has impersonated you. Prevent the banks/loan makers from libeling you and this information leaking is not that much of a big deal. Banks might not like it, but the populous would definitely support it.

Economics is supposed to be value-neutral: it describes the world as it exists, and doesn't attempt to pass judgment on whether any of the behaviors it describes are good or bad. There's a whole level of punditry and policy-making on top of economics that takes these concepts and says "Ok, we want full employment and equitable distribution of wealth and minimal dead-weight loss" and then tries to tweak the appropriate levers to get that, but the field of economics itself is concerned with figuring out what the levers are.

The economist isn't really concerned with whether consumption is good or bad, but takes it as a given that people want to consume. When the hypothetical protagonist in the story buys himself a yacht, he's satisfying his own desires by redirecting the productive efforts of many Kongolese towards his own end. You can layer a value system on top of this, and argue either that it's immoral for one person to be able to direct the energies of thousands of other people for his personal efforts, or argue that it's moral because he previously delivered more value to the Kongolese through his grain speculation than he is consuming through the building of his yacht. But those moral judgments are separate from the fact that under the monetary system in this thought experiment, he has both the ability and incentive to direct resources in this manner.
The main reason it's required in the EU is because it's so easy to cross land borders without leaving a trace.

In the UK, there's no need because it's an island, so passports can be more easily screened at the borders.
That's ... incredibly interesting. I can't figure out a counterpoint to this. You are correct, 'identity' is not all that easy to verify outside of a small group. I think there are larger implications about human nature here than just trying to o-auth a user.
Domain is $10 but it’s for a single domain. For every website you will buy one. In addition, play store asks one-time $25 fee. You can submit as many apps to app stores as you want.

Generally, you have to do more things during web development such as SEO, cross-browser testing, meta tags. In addition, you need to deal with responsive design.
Mobile apps are easier easier to develop because apps display one thing at once while web sites and apps display a few components in one screen.
I had similar idea for my 1st game. I don't like the idea of downloading native app for everything.

I bought a (.)app domain to host my game. I never build website before, although I have decent understanding of HTML and CSS, so people suggested me to start with a static website first in HTML+CSS. Result was a terrible website www.chessxplode.com

Next was to learn JS, React, HTML5/WebGL, cloud computing and more to build the game. Instead I decided to focus on what I know well, game programming in native iOS. Once native game was ready, focus shifted to grow the game.
> If there was nobody willing to consume or buy products, how would anyone make income?

I don't know what the author's intention was, but my assumption when I read that was their economic world view is one in which people should focus inwardly, striving for sustainability over specialization. It's conceivable to have economic exchange without luxury goods, because that labor can instead be directed into other activities.

That said, I had many of the same questions myself. I think specialization in society has been historically important to the betterment of humanity in many ways. As has the ability of markets to enable businesses to invest labor ahead of sales, so whether or not someone purchases something (with the exception of custom projects like a yacht) rarely has any impact on whether or not it will actually be made. Just ask Atari.
> I'd wager you are not a great representation of the market that 99% of apps serve

I'd wager no one is. Snapchat has 200 million users. There's some 4 billion people on the internet. Niches are niches, and no one serves everyone.
And thinking about it some more, a register-based bytecode is less flexible and future proof. A JIT can do register allocation according to the register set of the current (runtime!) target, while a register-based bytecode would be fixed, thus requiring register remapping or reallocation by a JIT to better match the actual hardware.
> but misleading

I wondered about that when I was watching it. The Katherine Johnson character, in the movie, had a huge epiphany that "saved" the space program: use Newton's method to find roots of polynomials! I groaned out loud when I saw that - I'm sure that the actual NASA engineers were very definitely familiar with high-school calculus (in fact, that's probably what most of the human computers were doing most of the time). I'm sure that she actually did make contributions that were profound - so why not just show those? Most of the audience wouldn't have noticed the difference and you wouldn't have to make it look like she did the equivalent of coming into a stock trading company and saying "Have you considered buying low and selling high?"

Yes, drastically. Wikipedia and Hacker News don't have access to the contents of my phone or desktop, just as they don't have access to the contents of my home or mailbox.
Finding relevant code, possibly during onboarding of new devs

That one is huge for me. So often coming into a new codebase (especially in the case where some of the libraries or underlying frameworks are new to me) I just want to know "How the F was that value populated??"

Kudos, would be super useful in my opinion.
"a pipeline is a real application which consists of at least one function"

So.... every application is a pipeline? This really clears very little up for someone not already familiar with the concept. The Jenkins link is about testing and deploying code. Is that the intended use case for this tool as well?
Are we speculating that the patent filed is on the process for production? Any references here?

I can't claim I'm familiar with the CIS. That said, I'm surprised there aren't some readily accessible official statistics on the matter. You'd think that's something the US census bureau or some other department would keep track of. They sure make no mistake about my immigration status when it comes to filing my taxes.
This is simply part of how they've implemented Jack Welch's Vitality Curve[1]. It's pretty common practice for most large companies, although I understand more and more are starting to move away from this approach. As it turns out, most people don't enjoy playing Game of Thrones with their co-workers every quarter.

I lost access to some materials years ago too. It was a great program but I got hired and it no longer made sense to keep learning python. The switch to fixed terms is a bit off putting for me
I think that profitability at all levels is the core of the issue with crazy student loan debt. Why do guidance counselors steer kids toward expensive schools they can only afford through huge impractical loans? Why do overpriced schools exist in the first place? I suspect because some institutions getting rich off loan interest use their influence to encourage this.

Mass exploitation of a population is best done when you can advise them to act in your best interest while convincing them its in their own, and that's best done from a position of authority.

If the health of society was a primary concern then the conflicting profit motive would have been legislated out of existence, so we could maximize the benefits of an educated population for the least cost.
Yes. I don't give them permission to run code on my device arbitrarily and perpetually.

Think of it like this: If Hacker News required a fat client to function on your desktop, would you actually be here at all?
The advantages of a typical GC are that it avoids the development costs of manual memory management, and it allows high throughput. The main disadvantage is usually latency spikes. Using this feature decreases maximum latency spikes by orders of magnitude, with only a small cost in cognitive burden and throughput. If without this feature GC might have been a good tradeoff if not for latency, there is only a sliver of design space in which using this feature would push the throughput out of acceptable bounds. (And cognitive burden is still way lower than any other form of memory management.)
i thought LIDAR has high cost barrier to be in consumer vehicles.
I don't see how encryption at rest helps with an online attack.

That's a far cry from OP's comment that livestock animals are "pretty much unable to survive in the wild."

I agree with you that crop plants are much more fragile and unable to compete without watering and fertilization. Tomatoes bred to make big 1 lb bags of water for their seeds will have a rough time compared to the tiny tomatoes made by the wild ancestor of tomatoes.

Some might opine that having to search through upwards of 75% of the length of a page before finding out what problem a tool addresses is a situation possessed of wonderful and bountiful opportunity to become even clearer.
Show someone with an iPhone how to turn any website into a web app with one button in safari and their mind will be blown, yet the feature predates the App Store. No one knows how to do this outside of tech circles. Apple had it as a stop gap before the coming App Store, then promptly never mentioned again to cement the store as the only way to get additional utility from the phone; web apps are a vestigial feature.
I think it depends a lot on what you mean by "compete". I'm a heavy Twitter user. I now only use its PWA on Android and it's fine. I wouldn't call it perfect, but it's certainly very usable, and I suspect most non-experts would have a hard time telling that it's not a native app.

Especially for MVPs, I think they're competitive for a wide range of uses. The UX may not be as polished, but that can be more than made up for by instant availability, instant updates, lower dev costs, and faster release cycles. The ability of a new company to learn is limited by release cycle time, and I think fast, low-cost learning is a huge advantage to startups.
Academia’s shameful practice of conference interviews
I’m not convinced this works so great for Google. Some rewrites are very noticeable as a user, and things in the UI frequently shift around for no discernible reason. Perhaps worse, they seem unable to get below a certain level of bugginess in products like Google Maps and Gmail. Perhaps because a new round of rewrites always introduces new bugs before all of the old ones ever get fixed.

Perhaps their metrics tell them that all of this is fine, I don’t know. But then, you have to realize Google has so much money they don’t really have to spend it very efficiently.

The user experience ranges between good to mediocre to bad, depending. Google is simply too rich and powerful to care. So long as the goose keeps laying the golden eggs, they can just keep going along and patting themselves on the back.
It's a bit late now but i want to clarify I did mean "lose interest" not "burn out".. Used the wrong phrase completely.
Camille’s book is great.
I started working on it about 4 months ago and have been dog-fooding it since, but it's still in a pretty rough state.

Part of the problem is the quality of open-source language analysis tools. I use Open JTalk for text-to-speech on examples without available recordings (which is most of them) and sometimes it gets the pronunciation plain wrong. So I use a different program (Kuromoji) to get a written representation of the pronunciation, which it also frequently gets wrong but (hopefully) at different times than Open JTalk.

The other problem is that so far I've been the only user, and many things that should be configurable aren't (I expect the constantly looping audio to be high on the list of things people would want to change).

That said, if you're interested, I could write up a minimal readme file, slap on a license and push it to GitHub.
The television industry has had many years to build out rules/regs and basic standards for content. Is it time to start treating youtube posters as television stations and regulate them similarly?
They were (just read that youtube took them down) getting millions of views. From what I understand, ad revenue on a site like youtube is much higher per view than on adult sites because most advertisers are so reluctant to put their product next to adult content. I'm not sure who watches them either, but they were clearly making money producing the content.
Yeah. For example, the original author could declare they own the copyright on xyz release and its released under a certain licence
This is a great effort. I hope this takes off and some organizations become vetting entities. It's a lot easier to trust eg Lyft Engineering vetting than Joe Xyz at a glance.
>No PWA competes with a native experience. Not performance wise, not usability wise, and ultimately for the developer not even development wise.

How much of a usability advantage does an app for, say, IMDB offer that the regular website doesn't? Or the loyalty card apps that a lot of grocery stores and coffee shops use now?

A lot of apps on the market are functionally just wrappers put around a poorly optimized website. They'd be better off putting their efforts towards making a great experience on the mobile web instead of trend-chasing.

In the iOS environment Apple could actually help here through a simple awareness campaign. You can save website bookmarks as icons on your home screen as it is, but this functionality is little known and not easily discoverable.
I think this is why the movie spent so much time on the bathroom issue. Not only was it a stand-in for many other forms of discrimination, but it's something the audience could understand with just a high school level math education.

It's quite possible that the scriptwriters themselves didn't understand the math and tried to pick out the easiest example they could understand and translate on the screen.
The costs of hacks are still largely external, while the costs of avoiding such hacks are high and internal.
This is interesting:

> the app store reviewers are wise to tricks for mimicking services

Has that been written up anywhere? I'd really like to know more about the reasons behind this arms race.
Most companies hire me to build a mobile app because they think App/Play-Store are the places to be, marketing wise.
You gotta take this with a huge dose of ceteris paribus. At best I will give the author 'perceived value' but it is naive to think that money earned == real value to society.
It does, but the cost is coming down quickly as a result of innovation.
Typescript is just a huge bandage. It doesn't change that JavaScript has horrible tooling that changes every full moon. Not to mention it still keeps many of JavaScript's horrible warts.
I'm ever so slightly optimistic in this regard. As soon as we see a few GDPR-related penalties assessed, the risk-reward calculation will change drastically.

According to their 2017 annual report [1], Marriot had $22.9bn in worldwide revenue. A 4% penalty on that would be $900M.

This is true. The problem is that most jobs have had stagnant wages for decades and developers are an exception. That is where the guilt comes from. But we need income growth like we need other kinds of growth. The transition to carbon free economy is going to be expensive. It's not going to happen if we decide income growth is toxic.
Technically yes, but people don’t use it and think about it this way. Changelists are supposed to be small, couple hundreds of line changes at most. You don’t develop a complete feature of thousands of lines in a single CL, that would be insanely hard to review. What happens is that work gets split into small chunks, and each one is submitted separately, not to feature branch, but straight to head.
Many agree with you. I've not encountered an addiction myself, (yet, at least, knock on wood), so I have no stance one way or another, but I've read accounts where many people have experiences similar to yours, and yet there are others that (claim to, at least) encounter it like an illness. They were sick, got treated, and now are not sick. Perhaps the Sinclair method that others discuss does that, breaking the longing for the alcohol, perhaps not.

From where I sit, if you're in a place where you are no longer suffering and others are no longer suffering, you get to define how you relate to the problem you had. Having your only option be a group that insists you must be a victim when you don't agree feels wrong. Now, do we have real people in that situation - not a perma-alcoholic but somehow being forced to join AA or go to jail?. I don't know.
I too am an advocate but willing to bet you some scratch that the incidence of grief, harm, or violence from someone tripping on mushrooms versus a tee-totalling sober population is lower. You went directly to the most formidable source for reporting trips and they even break it down by bad experiences vs good vs etc. so of course you're going to find some stories that exist.

Suppose you ruin the Congolese economy - bright young men and women who would have become doctors and engineers become grain farmers to get in on the magic window money train. A landlord who owns a building with a magic window on it becomes rich, runs for office, and implements disastrous social policy.

The point isn't that trade is actually bad, the point is that you've become an actor, moral or not, in the congolese economy. The attempt to find a single number that makes you good, and not bad, is simply Calvinism minus the theology. You can find out how good you for the world around your accounting statement as effectively as Anubis could find out by putting your heart on a scale.

Ok, so you save a few bucks, kill a few people... then eventually come to the same conclusion every other Autonomous Driving company already has... you need LIDAR for this work reliably?
I don't think you want/need web-of-trust to evaluate licensing. You probably just want to see "what is the full set of (transitive) licenses I'm agreeing to when taking on this new dependency?" Right? If so, there's cargo-license [1] for that.

Marriott probably keeps the passport numbers to identify people in their hotel chain management systems, because they are an international company with hotels (and other similar properties) worldwide.

Name, address, and email probably isn't fine-grained enough, as multiple people can all share the same information - and name isn't enough because some people name all their kids the same, sometimes the same as the parents (yes, it is crazy insane, perhaps narcissistic - but people). Then there are those who do similar things for fraudulent reasons.

In theory (I'm sure there are ways around it) no two people should have the same passport and passport ID number. Now, not everyone has a passport, but if they do, and they are travelling internationally, Marriott likely would rather have that information, so they can track you as you use their services in multiple places around the world (and offer you various amenities, upgrades, advertising, etc of course)...

That would be my guess.
Eh, when you say "hey, the things you do are going to have a dramatic affect on the story" but they DON'T have a dramatic affect on the ending...maybe you fucked up a little bit?

Again: loved the games, had a lot of fun, but I was also disappointing that decisions I thought would matter wound up being relatively meaningless.

Not trying to say your experience playing the game wasn't valid, just that it might not be the best example to point to since that was a rather noteworthy example of what NOT to do for many people.

I think this blog post from Brian Krebs captures the problem pretty well: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/12/a-chief-security-concern...

There's a lack of attention at the executive and organization levels in these major corporations, so they're not set up to deal with security threats in a forward looking way.
Your thesis rests on the opinion that merely "creating freely exchangable tokens of value" is a sin in itself.

I'm sure that's a defensible position, but far from common sense. I certainly don't agree with it.
You realize that most Russians speak at least two languages fluently. In fact, I usually have a better time talking to people with Russian accents in English than most other nationalities.
I've been working in Open Source for a long time now - decades. The problem I see is that so many rich and wealthy companies (and their billionaire owners) are the big beneficiaries of open source. Look at Spark, Hadoop, Linux, gnu tools and others - who uses them at a large scale? It is the wealthy companies who avoid paying salaries for the development of those tools. So I've become convinced that we should distinguish between small companies and large companies, and that small companies should get to use open source, while the big wealthy companies should be required to pay. It should be analogous to the free software given to education - with restrictions in license. (Of course, this won't happen. I'm just sharing my perspective.)
That's stipulated by the crate metadata and the only authority of that claim is the author's, right? Why would you want/need bolstering of that claim by a web-of-trust? What would it mean if the WoT identified a different copyright owner than the author or a different license from the one the author offers?
You're absolutely right! The basic software infrastructure that can be adapted to safely and securely handle user data is completely free.

It may be worth considering that adapting said FLOSS software, doing the requisite custom integration work, and then doing a large migration successfully might all be perhaps slightly less free than the software you correctly and wisely point to.
