I realise that my original comment was not popular, but capitalism defies logic when it comes to housing markets. It no longer has anything to do with the earning capacity of the common man, in the global cities - New York and London being prime examples - property prices defy gravity. There is just nowhere else for the capital of the 1% to go, so we are stuck. It should have had a reset in 2008 but the banks were bailed out instead.

A lot of people including myself would like a grand reset of the whole capitalist rent seeking enterprise. But our prayers are nothing compared to their capital.

The other thing is that if there is a crash then the 1% can buy even more property and other assets at a bargain price. Whatever happens they win. Only a popular revolution can save us.
Depends where the exchange is located. The iffy ones seem to legally have the exchange in some tax haven, an office some place else, actual staff at undisclosed locations and ignore kyc. If you have to have a fiat bank account then you can't really do that or at least have problems like Bitfinex have had. Bitfinex/tether have the reputation of accepting iffy/laundered funds.

A 100% effective vaccination? Also, I didn't imply any moral judgement, I'm simply stating it's not as important as others.

With respect to the baby story, was that a strain which was prevented by a HPV vaccination?

I understand there is a benefit, and wasn't disputing that. All I was saying was that it was elective and less important. There is a reason it is not required for schools as MMR is, and that it is not standard.

Polls of registered voters consistently show that a staggering majority believe that their own Congressperson deserves to be reelected: https://news.gallup.com/poll/1600/congress-public.aspx. We're kind of in uncharted waters during the Trump Era, but in many years we're talking about a 2:1 or even 3:1 polling margin in support of the incumbent Congressperson. By similar margins, people say they're own Congressman is not corrupt.

Saying that Congressional voting doesn't track public opinion and therefore the US isn't democratic is suspect for two reasons. First, it ignores the fact that the subjects of opinion polls are different than voters. Votes track older, more conservative, wealthier, and more rural than the public overall. Second, it ignores the fact that people don't vote for policies, they vote for leaders. People trust their leaders to make the right decisions, and consistently reward them for those decisions by reelecting them, even when those decisions don't necessarily map onto opinion polls.

I truly don't understand this logic. If I found some legal loophole by which I could indiscriminately murder people with no repercussions, no one would excuse it with "well, technically he was allowed to do this so why are we surprised?"

And if I were working with the government to create that loophole… I mean, in this scenario, I'm still murdering people, right? Should my conscience be clean because the government wasn't representing the interests of the people? How is any of this ethically exculpatory?
It may be baffling that Tether hasn't collapsed yet. But consider the drawn-out drama of the Mt Gox collapse.

It took weeks for Mt Gox to unwind. In the time leading up to the finale, many people (who should have known better) insisted that the exchange was secure and fully capitalized. For example, this guy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP1YsMlrfF0

When incredible spreads started appearing between Gox and competitors, the gullible asked "How can I arbitrage this?" rather than "Where are the exits?"

Then they became irate at their inability to withdraw the funds they deposited to make a quick buck.

There were others who simply refused to believe the facts staring them in the face.

I expect the same to happen here. Settle in, this is going to take awhile to unwind.

I think there is no way around it, good freelancers and good clients will cut the platform leaving there the naive workers and problematic clients.

They survive by making you work for cheap when you enter the platform (kind of unwritten rule to earn "reputation") but once you start commanding better fees they will kick you out under any pretext - they know professionals with good portfolios are going to leave the platform anyway.

Freelance marketplaces are a race to bottom. They have a deleterious effect on your career turning you into a low-fee/shitty-client magnet.

>For example, a few of them are VERY opposed to gaurdasil, since in their minds (not mine) that helps promote promiscuity, and the downfall of good moral choices, etc.

Not disagreeing with the message of your comment, but I would be quite careful with relating what happened regarding Gardasil. While a lot of people opposed it on promiscuity grounds, there were many other reasons people opposed it, and they tend all to erroneously get lumped into the same category. Probably the most common reason was that the manufacturer was very strongly pushing to make it a mandatory vaccine for school, and was charging a huge amount for it. The cost at the time was a lot more expensive (order of magnitude) compared to other mandatory vaccines. So people felt it was mostly a money grab by the manufacturer. Additionally, at the time there were studies suggesting that were it to become mandatory, it would be a net negative for the overall health of society - because it cost so much. Money would be diverted to this vaccine from treating other health issues. There were studies indicating that the cost of mass vaccination was significantly more than the cost of the disease (relatively rare in the US).

(The years since have likely shown the studies to be inaccurate, but they were out there).

On top of that, they put in a ton of money on marketing. They paid a large number of physicians to go on speaking tours about the benefits of Gardasil. These physicians were sometimes touted as experts, but most were just regular physicians who had no particular expertise on the matter.

In that kind of environment, you can understand that people will not trust the motives of the company, and thus by proxy their claims on the effectiveness of the vaccine. The manner in which they pushed for that vaccine likely hurt the vaccine movement overall.

(And on the side, I always suspected that the whole "promotion of promiscuity" argument was merely a strategy by those who don't believe in mass medication by the government - so they put out the morality propaganda to help their cause).
I haven't used the platforms in a few years but I used to. I think the highest pay I ever managed was like $25 or maybe $40 per hour. It seemed pretty hard to get those projects though.

I guess the convenience of having all of those potential contracts is a trade off with the fact that you are competing with everyone on Earth that signed up and looked at that web page. So people that have $100 rent in a small Indian village can and do bid extremely small amounts sometimes and they end up making much more than their friends in the village and are happy to have it.

The reason they try to stop the external communication is because people go outside the site for projects once they have made a connection with a client. To me it's questionable whether it should be legal to force people to do all transactions on your platform. But from a business standpoint it is the aspect that has the most impact on how much cut they collect.
If a lot of people did that, I'd expect payments to drop to somewhere around the marginal cost of operating the vehicle which is mostly mileage-based. Or below because there's no shortage of people who need money now even if they realize they're basically borrowing money from their future self.
One of my friend's parents works at a company where a large percentage of the engineers / etc. are corrupt (think Boeing with its FAA certifications done by fellow engineers, but with all the engineers agreeing to not look at each other's stuff)- and he decided to stay there and continue to work, despite the corruption- if the company goes down or gets attacked by the Feds, he has a lot of proof to show that he wasn't part of the problem. He's also sort of doing that classical destroy-the-company-from-the-inside thing.
> Removing symbols that have a dark history doesn’t erase past wrongs, but it does acknowledge those harms and open the door for a better future: concepts that are understood by our local middle schoolers who have pushed to remove the name Stapleton from their school.

Oh come on. Removing symbols isn't always as simple as a spray painted swastika and the average middle schooler most certainly does not grasp the concept of historical memory.

EDIT: I'm not advocating for the proud display of offense symbols. I just find the author's implication of her dissenters being less developed than middle schoolers in bad taste.

I'm not talking about building a database; I'm talking about using a relational model for data.

Like most general-purpose programming languages, Clojure has a hierarchical data model. We have a number of collection types, and we can put any collection into any other collection.

A relational model takes a fundamentally different approach. Relational data is represented not by nesting collections, but by a flat set of tuples. Efficiency is achieved through indexing, not by rearranging collections.

There's some interesting research around on using the relational model outside of a database, but that's not a design goal of Clojure.
Sometimes I am surprised how much time some people invest in building tools for use-cases that can easily be achieved with ubiquitous cli tools. I have a handful of scripts which are triggered by cron jobs / systemd timers and notify me via XMPP.

The fundamental concepts of parsing new complexity are literally baked right into the core of university EE programs, and introduced at an appropriate time.

Thevenin and Norton equivalence is the stuff of circuits 1. It wouldn't be appropriate to introduce this tool in e-circuits 1, where the primary focus is analysis of primitives like the diode, BJT, FET, and op amp.

Likewise, the digital side of the house has concepts like sum-of-products/products-of-sums, K-maps, and builds primitive logic gates/flip flops up into SSI, MSI, LSI and VLSI abstractions. It wouldn't make sense to introduce these concepts in courses which focus on analysis of LTI circuits.

The tools at an EE's disposal for handling complexity abound; the above examples barely scratch the surface. Context and practice are the keys to retention, and I would posit that a single course which attempts to teach a smorgasbord of them across various sub-domains has little value if only that students would struggle to discover their relevance. As it stands, many students already struggle to see why the Laplace transform might be introduced in a first course in ordinary differential equations.
Option 4: sell your ride data to a 3rd party. Knowing who you are, where you travel to, what's around those areas. They - or a 3rd party - could advertise what's in the area you were taken to, track where you frequent and recommend riding to places you haven't been to in a while showing you what's "new" in those areas, etc.

I don't Uber (and have only used Lyft once), so maybe they already do this or are planning to.

Amazon's flavors of Android require extensive work to clone Google's proprietary APIs and map them to Amazon-owned equivalents.

If you read the thread I linked, you'll see that Google doesn't really bother to ensure open source Android builds actually work at all: They post them but are only concerned with proprietary flavors being functional. Which means a lot of work has to be done to make open source Android even build in the first place.

Then, most apps are built on proprietary Google APIs, not open source Android APIs. So you either have to use something like micro-g to let you use Google services without the proprietary on-device code, or create your own replacement APIs that just claim to be Google, but aren't, which Amazon does and Microsoft experimented with when they made Android apps installable on some test builds of Windows Mobile. Or you have to substantially rewrite the apps not to use proprietary Google APIs.

So you have to do a lot to make open source Android anything actually work and do what people expect it to.
I think people underestimate just how extreme this sort of assertion is. To quote Cadwalladr: "I didn’t think it was possible to have free and fair elections ever again. That liberal democracy was broken."

Apparently, decentralized media and the threat of foreign meddling are reason enough to believe that liberal democracy is not just working poorly, not just compromised at present, but permanently impossible.

Without getting into specific charges, I think the claim is completely ahistorical. Compared to the media of the 1990s, it's relatively easy to frame wild misinformation as a newly-released genie that's going to change everything forever. But the early history of US democracy, until perhaps 1850 or 1900, was overwhelmingly one of limited and misleading information. US history classes celebrate as breakthroughs in democracy a great many things that fall far short of Cadwalladr's measure for a doomed republic. Mass media connected politicians directly to their public - but FDR used the threat of antitrust suits to have radio stations spike any stories critical of him. Cheap printing and mass literacy opened access to printed news, which lied the country into the Spanish-American war. Thomas Nast helped inform the masses and break the boss system - by bringing their knowledge of politics to the now-decried level of "regurgitating political cartoons". Early presidential campaigns were overwhelmingly conducted by spreading lies about the opposing candidate to voters who could not possibly fact-check them, so blatantly that much of modern negative campaigning looks wholesome.

I don't particularly want to go back to the information levels of 1800, but I also don't think we're particularly at risk of that. The suggestion that people telling lies to voters is a novel and catastrophic threat is one that's almost never put in decent historical context, and it seems misleading to lament a narrow and recent set of changes as though they have no counterparts in the past of democracy.

The idea that there's a dichotomy between "the people" and "corporations" is specious. Almost everyone is employed at a corporation. People buy food, clothes, entertainment, etc., from corporations. A vote for corporations is a vote for things "the people" need or enjoy--iPhones, movies, cars, lifesaving drugs, etc.

Google does not have incentive to fix this, because they can simply not fix it, and get along just fine.

That's the point.

It doesn't have to be conscious dereliction, it can just be 'big, dumb bureaucracy'. Interestingly, operational ineffectiveness can happen within well run organizations, particularly if there's no poignant reasons to change.

These kinds of things tend to happen when one part of the organization is mining Oil or Gold and throwing vast surpluses around the rest of the camp.

It's well known that you have to spend money to make money, as they say.

No investor worth their salt simply looks at past profits and decides right then and there whether a company is a good investment, because past performance alone does not predict future performance.

You have to look at the business and economic landscape, think about the business model and make a calculation about how compatible they are. This is especially important for companies recently founded.
Historically, the market was regulated to prevent new entrants from entering the market and preventing competition. In NYC, this was a hard limit on the number of taxis with every taxi requiring a medallion. In suburban towns, taxi companies typically need to be licensed by the town and some towns have limited the number of companies or total taxis.

Uber really disrupted that as it rolled out across the US and other countries by basically rolling out illegally and then getting customer support to change laws.
Banks generally have full backing, verified by frequent auditing, it just may not be all cash or cash-like assets.

But then again, not all of bank’s liabilities are cash either. E.g.: CDs.

Things get hairy when their long-term assets go down in value and/or there’s a sudden demand for withdrawals triggering a mismatch between short-term liabilities and long-term assets.

We have strikingly little audits from this stablecoin. Do assets match liabilities or not? For a bank, they always will or else they get shutdown before losses become too great.

No, this doesn't match my experience. The people who resist types are usually web designer types who haven't actually worked with type systems at all so they view it as ivory tower nonsense - complexity for complexity's sake.

There is the occasional person who worked with Java in college and hated it, and assumes that every language with types is just a variation on Java. This is, of course, not a very informed position.
