1. Straight off the bat, you're giving a gigantic subsidy to the largest retailer of the world, whose CTO is the richest man in the world. That's coming out of taxes paid by normal people. If that's not obviously increasing wealth imbalance I don't know how to make it any clearer. The other companies who pay for those who work in NYC do so without creating a gigantic competition to see what city will give them the most money.

2. There are many reasons to be skeptical of Amazon's promises to create jobs.

3. Many of the jobs created are for technical, mental labor that requires education. There is no shortage of these jobs already, and many of the jobs are filled by people moving into New York, rather than by the people who are already there.

4. The cost of living is NOT the same as SF, yet. Rents in SF are much higher still.
> In the era of fake news and propaganda that would put "1984" to shame, people supporting something doesn't mean it's favorable to others and to themselves. There so called "IT cells" of some political parties that spread misinformation and bring out nationalistic pride.

While some have IT Cells, others have outsourced their propoganda campaign to firms like Cambridge Analytica. So I guess almost all major parties are in the mix.

Fake news is a global problem and even US based institutions are having a difficult time dealing with it. Not sure how it can be used as an argument to point India as "fascist".

> There is a dualism that's commonly seen in India: any foreigner who has visited would've encountered random people wanting to take photos with them (even if those people would never see the photos, but that's not as much an issue nowadays since many people have camera phones), and this is because they consider white skinned people as superior, richer, exotic, and fast and loose (this last one is about women), etc.; at the same time, many people are also made to believe (through fake news and propaganda created by the government and its ministers) that India had a rich history of cultural and scientific advancement unlike any other country in this planet's existence and that foreigners have stolen all these as well as constantly suppress the "facts". This latter point brings about a wellspring of support on various policies, even without understanding how these may be bad for the citizens supporting them.

I've been made to believe that India had a rich history and culture since I was like five. Statements like India was a golden bird and what not were not rare to hear. From what I remember there was no current government or ministers at that time. Again I am not sure how this relates to fascism.
This is what I've done, I mentioned it in another comment, but we shouldn't have to resort to that.

Is there an exception in the TOS for that? It's my understanding that they forbid regular users from creating multiple accounts, though enforcement of the rules is pretty ineffective.

Look at AMEX, which has been rebuked by many merchants due to higher fees. The biggest risk for Visa & MC in doing this is that AMEX might begin to seem more swallowable for merchants.
I still don't see your point. No one acts as if housing supply is a magical fix-all to affordability. Almost all housing issues in America are caused by multiple factors and New York is no different.
But with a password manager, you don't need to make that distinction. If it's trivial to make all passwords unique, why not do it?
How do people feel about the passwordless option discussed in the article?. I feel like it can be done smoothly by:

- giving the user a link to their email service

- providing a link in the email that completes the auth flow, no need to copy paste anything.
The obvious reason is that any local browser config pages cannot be SSL protected because the device can not provide a valid certificate for 192.168.0.33 or chromecast.local

I think your parent mostly has a problem with excludability exercised at the extremes, e.g. sprawling private golf course that is empty except for the five days a year the owner visits.

I can sympathize, with goods I'm not that concerned but the thought of (for example) a small group of people locking up the world's limited amount of beachfront, riverfront, and lakefront for themselves seems deeply wrong.

Programming Models for the Event-Driven Architecture
That page is full of doublespeak. They claim they "don't keep personally identifiable information or IP information" in the permanent logs, but then go on to explain how they log everything else that you would need to track someone. In addition to saving everything about the DNS query itself (domain, record type, etc)j, they also admit to logging (quoting from the above URL):

* Client's AS (autonomous system or ISP), e.g. AS15169

* User's geolocation information: i.e. geocode, region ID, city ID, and metro code

* Absolute arrival time in seconds

While Google's AS that the use as an example is huge[1], sometimes the AS is very revealing[2] and only map to a few addresses[3]. Combined with the geo-data, if you're on a smaller AS, Google has better tracking data than the IP address that is easy to correlate back to unique users[4].

As for their claim that "We don't correlate or combine information from our temporary or permanent logs with any personal information that you have provided Google for other services."

There is a lot of carefully chosen language in that claim. You didn't "provide" them with the AS number or geo-data; they looked that stuff up based on your IP address. How are they defining "personal information", and exactly what counts as "provided Google for other services."? These are totally undefined terms and companies have a tendency to evolve their definitions of important-but-not-strictly-defined terminology as the Overton window shifts and bad behavior becomes sufficiently normalized that they can use the "everybody is doing it" excuse.

But looking at it in terms of what they currently say misses the larger problem: unless they have shown that their ability to amend this policy is restrict by a Ulysses Contract[5][6], they can change their policy at any time. They can also have the policy changed by an external power, against their will (e.g. a court could order them to start logging (w/ a timestamp) who communicated with them[7], even if they didn't want to.

Absolutely! Launching a change to the web platform is a long, arduous process. This feature is currently taking the very early first steps.

The rules proposed for creating easily legible diagrams determine mathematical limits for the proposed visual language. (Prime example: no crossing of arrows.)
If all time is flat then perhaps the only time travelers who manage to make it back in time are the ones who don't change anything. Or, to look at it another way, their changes are already "baked in".
Word exists is useful, the same like the concept of time. I don't take it anywhere no worries.

"This kind of argument" you mean "argument"? Arguments applies to everything, agree. This kind of argument applies first of all to time and possibly to something else by analogy. Beauty of reasoning.

But if in some hypothetical universe, you realise by arguments, that nothing exists - what's the reason of "giving back the word" which in this hypothetical universe has no meaning? I don't follow this logic.
I don't think that's true, it's just never been implemented in a way that wasn't bad.

You could, for instance, let people have a public key to identify themselves. Your browser or other client could automatically submit your chosen key for you (or expose a button for you to submit it), then there's a challenge and response, and you're logged in. Your account details are stored with the public key as the id.

Um, the pi-hole wasn't specifically targeted. They just wouldn't accept anything other than Google's DNS. Some ISPs will do DNS hijinks too, like transparently intercepting port 53 traffic and re-routing it.
“Primer” is the one exception. It deals with time travel in a physically realistic way (not surprising given it is an independent artsy film school movie by a writer/director with a math background).

Why are they not competitors?

I might be way out there, but if two companies provide the same service (even if they vary slightly), they are competitors.
> ... but it's OK for me to be 1000 times as wealthy as some other people.

Can you point me to the place where we write that? Because I certainly don't see it.

I'm speculating, but the world he imagines is one where the wealth of those who are 10x and up richer don't exist because feedback mechanisms (e.g. tax) exist to use that excess wealth to help those who are now 1000x poorer.

> Good job beating the system. If you tracked all the hours and mental energy you spent on these tasks vs the amount of money returned, what do you think the hourly rate would come to?

I also churn. After an initial investment of learning the concepts, I spend very little time. I can go onto a major issuer's site and spot a good deal in minutes. I have a small text file where I note offers I see on Reddit that may be of future note.

I don't recall how long it took to "learn churning" but it was small chunks spread out over a long period.

I periodically take breaks when coding to rest my brain. I'm taking one right now in fact :)

So I'd argue the time cost was zero/near zero since I wasn't going to be "productive" during those breaks anyways.

Then again, I'm not an extremeist - I mostly keep an eye out for destinations I'd like to vacation to, what airlines service them, then sign up with a card that can get me points to pay for that flight.

In the end, I'd estimate I save 1-2k on airfare per year plus some spare change in cashback. (Credit card rewards are treated as discounts and thus not taxable income, so getting tax free airfare then putting the money into an IRA or 401K is +EV).

I don't let myself get wrapped up in getting an extra percent back on my tacos or something though - in fact through analysis I've found that keeping entertainment money as cash reduces spending to a point it's better to use cash than use a CC and get rewards for spending at bars, restaurants, and the like.
While this is a hostile development that will be painful for some, there's a part of me that's grateful for every shitty thing they do because it increases the likelihood of a challenger.

Would Stripe exist if PayPal hadn't been so hostile to their customers? Giant markets of money movers all explicitly saying "We hate having to use these guys, isn't there anything better?" tells David that it might be worth fighting Goliath.

IMO blockchain is like a green-party candidate that undermines more promising candidates by sapping votes in a system that doesn't allow runoff voting – it's a shiny, utopian distraction that prevents people from starting the companies I think are more appropriate and promising – card & payments startups that support or resemble existing infrastructure.

Privacy.com, Final (RIP), the venmo card – the first company to unseat the incumbents in the card space is going to be a big deal. Stripe is making excellent headway in eating the elephant, using their web payments platform to get big enough to compete in the more difficult card issuance space. Here's hoping they have ambitions of re-investing the clout they get from cards to attack the underlying processing layers, and disrupt global financial infrastructure from the outside in.

The Point Of Sale industry is making great headway here too. Revel, etc. The blockchain equivalents have flopped, but the card-based ones are now standard issue at even the tiny mom and pop stores. There's real hunger for modern tech in the payments space, it just needs to roll out in more accessible stages.

Totally agree, the problem with that kind of thinking is that it ignores the creation of wealth. A world without superyachts would probably be a world where they did not exist i.e. two hundred years ago (guess). Wealth is always distributed unequally due to nature, it is a random and chaotic world. The difference from two hundred years ago is that the accumulated wealth of the world now enables superyachts to exist. From the factory and the machines that make a screw, to the metal panes, the engine etc... All that machinery ends up indirectly benefiting most of the population who are now able to buy other goods which were produced thanks to the accumulated wealth (machinery, technology, resources, knowledge) that made superyachts possible. It is a symbol of conspicuous consumption, but also a symbol of everything that made it possible and in the process raised the standards of living of a whole lot of people.
Thanks, I'll make sure to dig into that some more!
I think that's where the concept of the Republic and the Constitution come into play. For example, if the Constitution places a limit on the number of terms of a rogue Government then it is not possible to elect them again. Of course this assumes that amending Constitution is either impossible or quite difficult.
I think for the display a Turing machine can simulate a kind of video RAM on a specific location of the tape ; but I guess a single pixel would need a significant amount of cells.

For inputs one could introduce memory-mapped peripheral registers, like the M68K does.

The original definition of TM can be preserved if you consider that you are introducing the notion of an outside world that would look at the tape at the end of the TM run (for display etc.) and feed another tape with different initial cell states (peripheral register values) for the next run.

> simulation is not reality.

Virtual machines and emulators are however quite useful ; and it seems that for some people, simulating human intelligence is the Graal.
That's perfectly reasonable and honestly I agree. If people coming here have the same rights and responsibilities I don't see the issue. The only thing I'd add is it may make sense to have a waiting period for certain welfare programs like the UK does, where you have to pay into the system for a little while before you are eligible in order to prevent people from coming for solely that purpose. Outside of that it seems such a plan would be popular, why isn't anyone framing it this way? Instead I see that we should #DefundICE[0], why is that better than reforming the laws that ICE is enforcing?

The thing I find funny about some of the media narrative on this topic is the claim that ports of entry are the only places significant drug trafficking is occurring, it’s almost 2000 miles of wilderness...

you know what’s going on at entry ports because it’s being monitored, you can’t quantify what’s going through in places you’re not looking, more probably flows through hidden tunnels that are discovered all the time

there’s no hyperbole in saying it’s a threat and an emergency, seeing the effects of the drugs and crime, people getting raped/killed, human trafficking... it was an emergency decades ago when they could have done something to prevent it from getting to this point
It might be that the parent is ok with anyone being 10 times as wealthy as them, and not 100 or 1000 times as wealthy as the least wealthy person.
I'm not aware of a spectre v1 attack for the altair 8800, or indeed any of the CPU's of that era, Z80, 6502, 8086/8....

But then, things moved on, standard ways to add more cache with multiple cores was lapped up and later on we found a design flaw that echoed back for a decade or more upon all these multi-core CPU's.

Though in fairness and to put some context upon all this, CPU design is more complex than writing TAX laws. Yet we have exploits for TAX laws appearing and used all the time by large corporations. Whilst the comparison is not ideal and some would say, unfair. It does highlight that nothing is perfect and what we may class as perfect today (or darn close), could and may very well be classed as swiss cheese in the future. It gets down to how far away that future is.
After all, we still have encryption utilised that we have (on paper) shown to be flawed to future quantum CPU's!
But in a World that was aware of Y2k decades before the event, the penchant of business to drive everything to the last minute for profit will always be a factor in advancements. After all, if CPU cores had isolated caches instead of sharing, then that would mitigate so many issues, yet it would cost more to make and most consumers would not appreciate the extra cost for what to them is little value in return above and beyond the cheaper solution. That's business for you and CPU's are made by them for profit.
This thing does exactly that. You can see in the text it generates, it sounds like someone who's thought about things and keeps a consistent tone about the subject.
Several forces would contribute to both VISA and MC changing fees at the same time.

- the typical open and transparent "price signaling" where competitors can "see" others' price changes. Similar to one airline immediately changing (matching) a ticket price in response to another airline lowering or raising its price. Same mechanism as Amazon bots constantly web scraping Best Buy and Walmart and Best Buy in turn scrapes Amazon. Everybody is constantly monitoring everybody's prices.

- Visa and MC have overlap of owners[1][2]. 4 out of the top 5 owners are the same for both: Vanguard, Blackrock, FMR, State Street

- Visa and MC have overlap of member banks that also have minority ownership

Yes, you were being sarcastic about the coincidence but it seems like the natural economic equilibrium is for both to have near identical network fees.

I used to work in an audio processing research center back in 2003, and colleagues next to me were able to isolate each instrument in a stereo mix live using the fact that they were "placed" on different spot in the stereo plane.

Don't ask me how they did that, it was close to magic to me at that time, but i'm sure it wasn't neural networks. Although it probably involved convolution, as it is the main tool for producing audio filters.

If anyone has more info on the fundamental differences of the neural network approach compared to the "traditional" one, i'd be thankful.
This looks awesome, thanks for sharing! :)

It's a good point, things like forcing rotation are the worst. It doesn't prevent re-using other passwords, is hugely frustrating.

This is also true for complex password patterns. It's so dumb. Don't make me use special characters, period. Otherwise it's going to be a dollar sign at the end, which is a common pattern, so now the theoretical complexity gains are vastly reduced.

It's also frustrating when I've entered more than the required amount of characters (sometimes a lot more) and your stupid form validation still insists I need more character classes. Why exactly? Stop making password rules suck, if they do, I'll assume your infosec department is completely useless.

Citibank is bad, too.

It uses some kind of JS trick to replace usernames and passwords with asterisks, and you end up with all kinds of invalid information stored in your password manager.
How about username/password fields that actually look like data entry fields? In the Delta example, the "fields" are indicated by a faint grey underline with placeholder prompts nearly as dark as the page text. I've seen this on multiple sites; I guess it's not fashionable to show "ugly" text entry boxes in the UI, but without them, it's hard to immediately recognize where I should click to enter my username.
