> radical unfettered libertarianism doesn't work

I agree.

> No it isn't, because absent laws people tend to do things like break your knees with a lead pipe if you're a union organizer.

You keep dragging things out further and further. Am I led to believe that without laws supporting unions, breaking knees suddenly becomes legal?

> So you agree there's an informational asymmetry, but you put the burden on the weaker party in the transaction to be responsible for the calculation of the costs and effects of it (despite agreeing they don't know as much about it)

I'm not putting the burden on them. The burden is on them, as a pure matter of fact. Every worker is ultimately responsible for the risk they put upon themselves. If they get injured or killed, they are the ones harmed. They're the ones who have to make the call.

Of course an employer that hides information on safety hazards or is otherwise negligent is liable for endangering others.

None of this is specific to trade. You're talking about fraud, coercion and extortion and all kinds of things. It's going nowhere. Of course nobody willfully "consents" to being endangered, defrauded or extorted.

> Again, no thank you. I'd rather have society put together so that people don't need to be an expert in every safety critical expertise in order to avoid harm from others.

You arguing against straw man libertarian, not me.
Haha, someone don't like this joke
Of course, the prosecutor is judge and jury in this case because they are not pressing charges. I'm almost certain uber would be held liable by any jury who heard that they intentionally turned off the braking that could have saved this woman's life. Then again, it is Arizona so it's not surprising that this is not even being prosecuted. Uber must be bringing in a ton of money to the state there to get off so easily.
Well 3 people dislike this i find that funny
So the person who spends the most amount of money is the one you trust the most? That's some interesting reasoning. Does that mean if I spend $21 you trust me more than the guy who spends $20?

One major issue with email address reuse is social engineering. It's a lot harder to attack someone's account if you can't even provide the email address.

Right now if you know someone's personal email, you can be pretty sure they use it everywhere. It's not a good practice, but it's hard to understand why until you've been the target of wtf-level social engineering attacks where someone got into one of your many accounts starting with nothing but an email address they don't even control.

Of course, there are some issues with the OP's email forwarding service:

1. You have to be someone concerned enough about security to want to generate email addresses, yet you have to be cool piping them through a third party. Ouch.

2. Niche product. I didn't realize how bad social engineering could be until I started hosting bitcoin services. I've had people break in to my AWS accounts twice (with bogus information) after Amazon told me they made a note on my account and that it should now be impossible. As we speak, I cannot get into nor cancel an AWS account that someone SE'd that's charging my CC every month even though it has my CC on file. I have to issue a charge-back. It's hilarious. Amazon thinks an email is more authenticating than a CC that's been on file for years before the attacker changed the email. They literally don't even have a customer support process for this situation. 99% of people even on HN have no clue how pwned they'd be if they're ever a target.

3. It's more of a feature on an existing product than a standalone service. I'd expect players like 1Password to implement it themselves.
Unless I'm severely misunderstanding you, a discrete set (or function) cannot be a dual of a continuous set (or function). If nothing else, the former is countable and the latter is uncountable; there can be no isomorphism between the two.
After struggling to hire top-notch engineers in the bay area as salaries started to spiral beyond reason, we decided to conduct a radical experiment in trying to train overseas developer talent on our tech stack before hiring them.

Unexpected Side Effects of Going Sugar Free
A function can. Coincidentally, I have a function with the same name and definition as your example. Actually, after doing a double-take on your alias, I see it can't work like you probably expect. You can't use arguments like that. It's simply substitution. If you do:

mkcd someplace

that'd result in:

mkdir -p "$1" && cd "$1" someplace

you want:

mkcd() { mkdir -p "$1" && cd "$1"; }

Anyway, it's subprocesses that can't control the working directory of the parent process (or other processes for that matter). A process can only control its own working directory.
I’m not a lawyer, so forgive my ignorance, but how can a corporation be criminally liable for anything ever? It’s not like you can charge a corporation with a crime or put a corporation in prison. Corporations can’t commit crimes because they cannot act; only humans can.
Running an unsigned app requires a separate option that's reasonably well-hidden, however [0], so it's difficult to avoid the signing requirement if you're going to distribute your app to a wide audience.

If you don't care about the designation then the most cost effective thing to do is just get the books from a previous year from somewhere like Craigslist or ebay. The official syllabus is published by the CFA Institute. Schweser have a cliff notes-style abbreviated version of the syllabus. It's faster and more direct but it doesn't go into as much detail. Level 1 is roughly equivalent to a bachelors in finance. After level 2 you'll roughly have the same level of understanding of finance, econ and accounting that an MBA would give you. Level 3 is more esoteric and deals more with portfolio management than other fields.
Niall Ferguson: A Big Tech Digital Dollar Would Be a Nightmare
I'd much rather see kids doing things in class that benefit from the use of multiplication, along with exposure to how to do it and arguments for using it, than to just lecture them on repeatedly writing 2x2=4 2x3=6 2x4=8 over and over for weeks.

I'm pretty sure in my own first grade experience that was the point where half the class started drifting towards the "I hate math" camp of now-adults.

I wasn't clear in saying the National Hospital Discharge Survey is a U.S. survey.
I work with physicists and engineers. The physicists think the equipment is miserable because it doesn't fit their idealized models. The engineers think that their tech is the best because nobody is doing it better. As a mathematician, I can see that both groups are consistent in the application of their assumptions, and both sets of assumptions have utilitarian foundations.
Particles landing on someone’s olfactory nerves causing chemical reactions that inform the person that they should be repulsed is not the same as a person “feeling” that someone with different color skin negatively affects them.

Libraries are for learning, community events, tutoring, many things, but having homeless people stink up the place ruins it for everyone. I don’t understand how someone can argue that society should let a group of people ruin it for everyone. It’s the same as someone walking in with speakers and blasting loud music in a library.

If reacting instantly is not enough to slow down you were driving way too fast for the conditions, period. Defensive driving is a solved problem.

Unless you're talking about times where things really are out of the domain of the car - people jumping in front. But nobody really cares about that non problem.

Cars unsafe? Compared to what? Cheeseburgers? Most of the time when I drive, I don't die and I don't kill people. That seems pretty safe to me.

Regarding liability here in this case, I'm not sure where I sit, probably on the side where uber is liable. Their company, no amount of "it's new so it doesn't count" hand waiving will change my mind.

But the way I feel about this is my bias for strong consumer protections.

In curious what on earth the argument is that lets uber off the hook here.
I mean, that's nice but it's not an incentive. If you assume, as the author apparently does, that Facebook is at least motivated to have you believe that they're secure, telling them you won't no matter what they say is counterproductive.
Which would make it wrong, but at the time, a non-expert who was looking for advice from people like doctors or their government would hear that they should be cutting back on eating eggs. Which would count as legitimately "convincing", if you're not a researcher in the field. Just wrong.

The Ltd or LLC after many company names refer to the Limited Liability that those forms of companies confer, that protect individuals within them from personal liability. Corporations were intentionally a lot like people even before Citizens United. There's also a concept called Piercing the Corporate Veil that is intended specifically for penetrating through these legal protections in certain cases.

That article seems like product placement.

Then they advertise a product at the end "best antivirus".
There is no accountability for a failure to raise a child well, so no, parents have no responsibility.

It is of course a conversation one could have on if parents should be held responsible.

Schools are the only force in childhood held even remotely accountable for the success of those children entering adulthood. Which is kind of where the desolation of inner city schools come from - the schools are punished for bad parenting, but have no real capacity (especially once punished via funding cuts) to do anything about it.

It's a good decision. You've created an easy to follow programming language, built a wonderful interface, provided excellent instructions.

People often forget that the essence of the code (the spirit of that code) is driven by the vision (and passion) of a single individual. Sometimes (but rarely) more than one person shares this vision.

I have literally seen 100s of programming languages on HN and quite frankly, they are mostly copy/paste of existing languages built around the same mindset of others - providing no real advantages to their target audience.

The target audience for https://easyprog.online/ide/ is different. The cost of entry (in the manner you have built this) is much smaller than other options for beginning coders.

You've done a nice job with this! I very much like that you wish to continue to control the direction until it can establish itself in some way.
It's not like humans are the only thing that grows exponentially for a limited period of time. If the yeast in a loaf of bread continued growing, it too would fill the universe very quickly. The saying is "trends that can't continue, won't".

The car did not need to slow down much to reach speeds where a collision with a pedestrian would not be fatal. And there were several seconds to react had the car been driven by an attentive human driver.

Gibson is incredible at conjuring up his environments. On the other hand, his prose is also second to none, usually.

All that said, just imagine how fantastic his novels could be with better plotting! He's not terrible at characters, it's the plot that ultimately disappoint. I think his imagination peaked with Neuromancer, unfortunately; his later novels didn't bring much new to the table beyond what he's laid out in that book, and I find his later obsession with art (like the locational VR art in the Blue Ant trilogy) and video games tiresome. His newest one didn't click for me at all.

Lost, ugh. Such a promising start completely wasted by lack of planning.
I agree. It's a known fact that guys don't develop fully until well into their late 20's, early 30's. For example: I took accounting and finance courses in college and I hated them. I did not understand accounting concepts and felt stupid while others seemed to grasp them. Fast forward, I am now in my early 30's and the same concepts now make sense. I actually enjoy looking at finance topics (not so much accounting, but I understand a lot more of it now). I've often questioned the timeline on education and why we try to learn the most important topics in our early 20's when half of us cannot comprehend them entirely until late 20's. Sure, there are always those who do get the information and advance quickly, then go on to achieve great things, but what percentage of the whole population does this?
can you elaborate? i'm not a lisper, so I don't understand what else would be present. I am guessing you mean things like switch statements?

"Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land? I loved to smell them when I was a boy. Lord, there were a lot of lovely books once, before we let them go". - Faber, the retired English professor in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.

The scent of old books always makes me think of this quote.

I solved this fairly easily for a startup I worked at a few years ago that used a Digicert EV signing cert.

First, we ran Windows under Parallels on a Mac Mini (we needed the build machine to handle Mac builds as well). I think I set the Windows VM to never lock the screen or sign you out, but the physical Mac would lock its own screen as usual. You could set things up the same way with a VMware VM running on a Windows host.

Then the only problem to solve was how to type in the signing password every time the certificate utility popped up its password dialog.

Like so many things on Windows, it was AutoHotkey to the rescue! I wrote a little 5-10 line AutoHotkey script to watch for the password dialog opening, type in the password and hit Enter.

Bingo, we had fully automated EV code signing for our Windows builds.

You mentioned that logging out or letting the screen go to sleep would lock the cert. I don't quite remember it that way, but I could be remembering wrong. It seemed that the certificate utility simply wanted a password typed into its dialog for every code signing.

So it may be that this AutoHotkey setup would also work with the cert utility running on a physical Windows machine with normal screen locking. In any case, it definitely worked great in a VM.

Of course this meant that we had to store the signing password in plain text inside the VM, but that was a lesser evil than requiring someone to babysit the machine whenever we pushed a build.
I don’t know about your school, but most of the useful classes generally occur later on. So, dropping out after a year means you missed out on the most useful parts.

It might seem wasteful, but gateway classes are what allow upper level courses to assume basic competency and move much faster. I had a computer architecture class where one assignment was to write a fairly simple program in x86 ASM and the handholding was a recommended book to get you started.

That said, a lot of collages had real issues teaching computers in the 90’s. Competent staff was hard to retain and enrollment was skyrocketing. So many schools tried to shuffle students into other departments.

Censuring healthcare options unfortunately stifles a patients' ability to pursue experimental treatments. This is an essential option for surviving an illness that is poorly understood by the mainstream. Experimental does not mean lack of scientific rigor. On the contrary, experiments are science.

National guidelines will always be behind the most cutting edge treatments, because treatments need to be proved before they become widely accepted. Proving takes time--sometimes decades that a sick person does not have. Someone who is dying from a complex illness need the option to pursue experimental treatments.

National guidelines are important, but need to be voluntary in order for sick people to have every chance to beat their illness.
Unless I'm severely misunderstanding you, a discrete set (or function) cannot be a dual of a continuous set (or function). If nothing else, the former is countable and the latter is uncountable; there can be no isomorphism between the two.

There is. Discrete samples are samples of the continuous space. In order to capture the continous space, you only really need to capture a particular set of samples that you then interpolate between.

The way I interpret isomorphism in this context is if you can capture one space in the other and then convert to the other without a loss of information.

Imagine a polynomial (in the smooth space). You can capture a particular set of points that uniquely determines the polynomial. In some circumstances you can use these samples to reconstruct the original polynomial by interpolating between any of the two points.

The 2 Underrated Startup Success Factors (2016)
Yeah, but there's always Popper's observation hovering in the background concerning definitions: 'all definitions involve the use words which themselves remain undefined'. Now if particular constituents of language (nouns, verbs, qualifiers) have empirical referents (EG, oak tree) then something other than words can be supplied to buttress and shape consensus for any formulated definitions, using words which themselves have empirical referents. But with conceptual referents (EG, democracy) definitions become subjective and lack clear capacity for unambiguous validation. So a definition of a concept which resonates with one individual based on their understanding of its verbiage may be dissonant for another based on that individual's understanding of the content of the definition.
How did you end up with top status on so many? Just unavailability of your preferred chain at different locations?
Look, this just doesn't disagree with what a "fair price" is. If "a man must live by his work" but the market doesn't afford it to him, then indeed "the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation". That means this kind of worker goes extinct, as many professions have in the past.

I'm well aware that Smith on occasion argues for protectionism to "smooth out" that extinction process. That's welfare. It has no bearing on fair prices in free trade.

You can think of it as a really nice intermediate language.

It might be hard to build a computer system that lets you reason about both probability and say quantum mechanics.

However it might be easier to build a system that phrases a probabilistic problem in terms of duality and then solves it.

Like why should each of this have it's own foundation when there's one that captures a lot of them?

> In the ideal world, a program with loop unrolling and vectorization should always be faster, but in practice, the bigger binary size induces cache misses and may produce a slower problem.

The solution is to use abstract, arbitrary vectors in the ISA instead of packed SIMD and unrolled loops. RISC-V gets this right with their V extension.
I'd really like to see self-driving car liability treated the same way airline crashes are. Less "whose fault is this" and more "how can we prevent this same accident from ever happening again?" The second is the really important question and the one we need to keep answering to reduce the toll of driving deaths. This will mean the cars driving on our roads getting more and more regulated over time but I'm quite OK with that.
