Soviet censorship vectors were able to wrap dissenting viewpoints as "counter-revolutionary" or "bourgeois" without regard for the consistency of content to the wrapper.
Unionization is well beyond freedom of association. It's freedom to enforce a monopoly. Can you be consistent, having no objections if others do that too? For example:

Airlines form their own sort of union. (we might call it a cartel) They decide to agree on prices instead of competing. Prices double.

Fueling stations do likewise. They agree that gasoline should be $12 per gallon.

Cell phone providers decide that you should pay $1 per megabyte. They all agree, being in their union, that they won't work for less.

Good?
Mathematicians: No!

Engineers: Eh, maybe?

The guy doing the engraving on the gold plaque on the side of the space probe: What is that, a potato?

Aliens: They treat root vegetables as numbers.

Alien anthropologist: They worship plants.

Alien TV presenter: In showing us agriculture, they introduced us to mathematics!

Some payment processors on this list are 100 times more evil than Paypal and do all the things you hate about Paypal but worse.

Story time: The biggest offender in my limited experience in dealing with some alternatives is 2checkout. Please please stay away from it. They can make up any excuse and shut you down with a two word excuse (we were told "digital locker" for a saas site which created html5 animations and our account was shutdown without notice (with no way to appeal) also locking out all customers and their payment info.. at that time it was like Paypal so they had all the cc info not us). Lost thousands of dollars per month and had to email users by hand to switch to Paypal.

So do your due diligence and read reviews before signing up and trusting anyone on the list

I'm afraid I don't understand your question. Can you clarify?

I'm going to assume it's a reference to my comment about corporate offices and Prop 13. The measure I referred to is one that will end Prop 13 protections on corporate offices. As a result, real flesh people will continue to benefit from Prop 13 and non-people people will not.

Telephone Is Lying to You About Sounds (2014)
I think this this pretty unnecessarily (and uncritically) dismissive of this work.

Sure, this work hasn't sprung from the primordial academic goop without influence, but the authors of this paper embraced old ideas to get faster and sparser FPGA implentations of neural nets. We have something now that we didn't before.

The vague ideas were there, but parallel progress in other domains have brought us to the point where we're able to take principles, put them into practice, and learn from them.
You're not, but that's only a small piece of it. IP cameras, smart speakers, tablets, e-readers, smart watches, etc., all have this problem in some form or the other.
What is it like to live in a country where things that every other developed country seems to be able to afford (like public health care) are impossible without invoking “euthanasia for the old”?
Right but it’s not like the original post has a quantitative poll of why millennials don’t go to malls.
Seems like OReilly really goes out of their way to hide ALL books these days. When you go to the main site (https://www.oreilly.com/), where do you see anything related to books? All I see is "online learning", "blended courses", "conferences" and "ideas".

I'm a bit upset by this, because I've found the Safari experience terrible.
> Unions by definition will increase the number of protections for workers and increase the costs of labor.

This is only true insofar as the market is inefficient.

Suppose you have a free market for car services (i.e. no taxi regulations or similar) and the drivers all get together and unionize. They demand higher wages and get them. The only way the company can pay higher wages is to raise prices, so they do, demand for car service is reduced, and some of those people lose their jobs.

Since they're no longer employed, the people laid off quit the union. Car Service Number Two shows up, has no contract with the first car service's union, pays the original lower wage to the people put out of work, and attracts customers by charging lower prices. That causes Car Service Number One to lose business and have to lay off more drivers who then go to work for Car Service Number Two, and so on until everyone is working for Car Service Number Two. If they then unionize again, Car Service Number Three appears to hire the workers laid off due to the higher wage ad infinitum.

Which is why unions don't work in competitive markets.

> the problem with the free market is that it has to optimize for infinite growth.

There is nothing that requires this. What it needs to optimize for is efficiency. If you're paying $50 then you have to charge >$50 and you lose business to the competitor who pays <$50 and then charges <$50. But at scale this isn't a problem -- when everything you buy costs less, it isn't a problem that you get paid less.

The problem now is regulatory costs and cost disease preventing the lower prices from actually happening in many cases. But you can't fix high regulatory compliance costs by increasing regulatory compliance costs.
Yes, there's lots you can do to mitigate the risk but nothing perfect.

Which, realistically speaking, is quite fine.
Why are you so offended by the use of the word kill? Where does that imply entitlement or the assignation of moral blame? Millenials stopped going to malls, ergo millenials killed the mall. That's just a neutral statement of fact.
The sub demonizes asian women and white men. It's exactly like /r/incels (which got banned) except they blame on it on their race.
Yeah; it’s actually pretty easy work. Interns have a lot of uncommitted time, and they’re going to leave soon so you don’t want to integrate them into the team too much. It’s also way easier to build to a well-defined spec (which an in-production endpoint would likely have).

So you let them rewrite something that already works. If what they build is good, you‘ve just knocked out a good chunk of technical debt and found someone you probably want to hire. If not, they don’t get an offer. Either way you probably didn’t pay them much to begin with so there’s a lot of upside and not much downside.
My last serious boyfriend was from an older middle eastern culture. In his view, setting a high bar for leaving a person's life intact, even if it means letting them go and walking away, is merely friendship, not love.

I'm not at all impressed with the high percentage of people who promise to love each other forever when they take marriage vows, then seek to vindictively tear each other part during the divorce. My divorce was amicable.
"tried to" is clearly implying intent.
My personal (lay) theory is that the global curvature of the universe is flat, but that there are local distortions due to the energy of the big bang/rip.

Two (probably completely inaccurate) thought experiments:

Imagine a sheet of aluminum foil. Crumple it up really tightly into a ball then stretch it back out again. The sheet won't be perfectly flat anymore: it will have ridges and valleys introduced when compressing the sheet. Place objects with mass onto the sheet and those will cause further distortions, but there will be areas without mass that are also distorted.

Imagine a sheet of fabric. Place an object with mass on the sheet, then pull on the sheet (like trying to remove a tablecloth without displacing the tableware). Depending on the velocity of the pull, the mass of the object, and a bunch of other factors, you might introduce ripples into the sheet around the object. Again, distortions in areas without mass. (From my very lay understanding, this would be related to, but independent from, gravitational waves, which are caused by motion of mass in space-time rather than the expansion of space-time itself. But then again, motion is all dependent on the frame of reference, so what do I know?)
Could you give examples besides taxi drivers (who are a terrible example of full-time work)?
devaluing other contributors

Maybe this isn't what you meant, but why is it that human beings see someone they know producing a lot of value as diminishing the value produced by others, especially in technical matters?
Illinois at least supports their claim - that it's because of the large cities, not the states as a whole. Take away Chicago and Illinois would be pretty Republican: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/Il...
The article raises good points, and I agree.

Seeing how piping curl to shell is a common practice to install something, I wonder what safer (and still simple) alternatives there are? Recently I encountered this situation and I piped curl to a file, read through the script to ensure what it does, then chmod +x the file and ran it. Not sure if that will become a common practice though..
I think it might even be easier - take the PTP program and relax a few constraints for eligibility (or at least link it to AMI) and you're done! The option to convert deferred taxes to liens is in there, and the interest rate is high enough to make people think twice about using this for financial engineering without being punitive.

At that point the state has the ability to get their money from any future sale without the extra complexity of having to own the property.
> No, you misunderstand the terminology. "Subsequent encounter" means with the doctor not with the rattlesnake

You can reference ICD codes with the schema.org/code property of schema.org/MedicalEntity and subclasses. https://schema.org/docs/meddocs.html

"Subsequent encounter" is poorly defined. IMHO, there should be a code for this.
It doesn't matter. An additional element at the beginning of a sequence won't make anyone think you unintelligent, just a bit confused

Sounds quite regressive, some states like Oregon have made such setups (filming public rights of way with a fixed camera) illegal.
And if they are all abusive?

You might ask how that can be so - but one clear example, the market dictates these jobs do not provide benefits, that is their competitive advantage even. So how can a different company competitively provide non abusive practices?
> This makes me think that the "difference" you cite is less a matter of which laws the cyclist chooses to break, and rather more due to the vehicle with which the cyclist chooses to break them. Were cyclists likewise equipped with an exterior body and 1-2 tonnes of mass they would be responsible for a wholesale slaughter.

It's the net effect of both. From a consequentialist perspective it does not make much sense to focus so heavily on cyclists running red lights. Drivers speeding is much more dangerous and occurs at a much higher frequency, yet it is much more socially acceptable than cyclists running red lights.

FWIW the server in question is really simple. It has since been ported to Golang, which has become one of Mixpanel's primary languages (alongside Python and JS/TS).
Alas, no, I do not get to do Erlang in any kind of professional capacity now, and haven't since 2015.

That said, I do use LFE for a lot of personal projects. I don't mind it being niche-ish largely because Virding wrote it to be a very thin wrapper around vanilla Erlang, so as a result there's not a lot to mess up. With the exception of macros, there's really not many changes to the semantics from regular Erlang, meaning that the transformation to and from LFE is trivial. LFE mostly exists to keep the syntax consistent and cleaner, and while the language is kind of toy-ish, it almost doesn't matter.

Honestly, I'd be a lot more worried for something like Joxa or Clojerl, not because they aren't awesome projects (they are), but they don't have as direct of mappings to the BEAM semantics.

Also, Virding is very active on the #lfe Erlangers Slack, so typically when I have a question, it is resolved pretty quickly.
That shows the author doesn't understand the issue well, because every definition is semantics. That's what the word means. The question is why certain semantics are prefered.
Agreed on uS DOD being at the very founding core of SV(per Steve Blank’s Secrets of Silicon Valley).

While I think it is a good idea to retain and utilise anti-monopoly regulation, at the same time we run the risk of foreign government integrated hybrid commercial entities that can be weaponised in the global geodigital realm.
You can tell from what perspective this article is written, and who the audience is: boomer retail investors and retail industry people.

I’d love to see an article about what millennials actually wanted and why the mall didn’t address it.
This doesn't make sense. Housing that's being rented out is in use by renters. No property is being wasted. Taking properties off the rental market will drive rents up. What do you have against renters?

Vacant property is being wasted. Not too much of that, though.

Morally speaking, a housing market has much in common with a traffic jam or a crowded bus. Everyone takes up space, though some more than others. If you're living somewhere that housing is scarce, you're a small part of the problem, according to the space you take up. The only way to not be part of the problem is to move away.

It doesn't make sense to pick on some of the people in a crowd for making it crowded, assuming they're all taking a similar amount of space.

There are also a bunch of cases where you specifically want "odd primes" (i.e. excluding 2).
>>I can't think of a single major economic center that has affordable housing now.

That's what makes them major economic centers: real estate prices. The building, renovation, redevelopment, renting and investing of real estate ... that a massive part of the the modern economy. Think Vancouver makes its money on tourism or lumber? Fishing? It is all down to industry that is perpetually-increasing land values.

Right, but let's judge the piece on its own merits, not by association.
That’s a good point - the attitude of “how is this any better than X, just use X” is one of the reasons why the web is so centralized.
And it's even stupider to give the user zero local tools to interact with them short of letting them loose on the big bad internet.

I wouldn't mind if my washing machine could ding my phone when there's a load of damp clothes in there that I need to handle before they grow mold. That's cool, I'm forgetful, and I waste a lot of water being that forgetful. But it shouldn't need to talk to the internet to do that.

The problem is not smart appliances, per se, it's the centralized and vulnerable way those smarts are being implemented. Because it's in the manufacturer's interest to compromise my own security and autonomy.

Which is why I don't own any, and I'm sitting here working on my own washing machine door transmitter instead.
There were 800K polling places, maybe 9 workers per polling place. Most of those would do little during the day.

If you transported the ballots to central location, you could wind-up with a smaller number of counters working through the night.

So basically, if tasks were divided poorly beforehand something seemingly ridiculously easy on paper could wind-up a complete disaster for a few, at scale.

Please do not confuse ridesharing with ridehailing although the companies like Lyft und Uber invest a lot to blur the line.

This is not a good argument as Uber & Lyft are not yet making profit and in general you cannot compare both numbers as ridehailing grabs trips from public transit:

You should really reconsider the UI for your site. Yours is the most aggressively hostile website I have encountered in recent memory.
The physical Amazon book stores are incredible in that regard. Every section has nothing but the top books. I recently was in the market for books to learn Japanese. The tiny Amazon store had the top three books. The huge and famous Powell's in Portland had obscure books (some of the were cool and are now on my "once I got the basics down"-list), but none of the top books you'd expect to find.
I think matters are complicated in this regard, I have heard that cyclists count as pedestrians (and not as vehicular traffic) in some jurisdictions/countries, so in such cases they can even and should ride on the opposite side of the road from vehicular traffic.

I thought it was safer if cycling on roads, to ride forward on to the one coming traffic, rather than have traffic come up from behind you.
One can read a lot into that chart, depending on one's own bias.

For example, if jobs get better, then families can live on one income. This is good. We're still way above the workforce participation of the 1950s, which generally was a better time for family life in the USA.
If you're working on a gig platform, you're at the mercy of the platform itself. Since you aren't the paying customer, and the client is, platforms' incentives rarely inline with those of workers.

As you can see, over the last 3 years, we've rewritten large parts of our infrastructure in golang. While we still use python for a lot of things, we felt that the type safety and concurrency primitives in go were a much better fit for writing some of our core services.
> So how do you define right or wrong ?

Easily: what is right improves the human condition and reduces suffering. What is wrong does the opposite.

Let me short-circuit your next question, which is surely "how do you measure what improves the human condition, and what is suffering?" We have to use our judgment, which we are graced with by virtue of being moral agents. This is subjective, like anything worth doing, which means we sometimes get it wrong. And that's fine. The fact that we sometimes imprison innocent people doesn't invalidate wholesale the concept of a system of justice.

Tokyo has decently affordable rent relative to its size/level of prosperity. Compare it to NYC or the SF bay area and it's no contest.

Their defense would probably be that once they cut their legacy nodes there is a lot of incentive here for the individual players to defect from their announced participation in the market consensus.

The modern way of doing price fixing is through corporate M&A and that's been rubber stamped by every U.S. administration for >40 years.
1. It does not imply intent, when used in a jocular manner for dramatic effect. People say things like "my Tesla autopilot tried to kill me by steering into the median" even though there is no actual intent to kill there.

2. Even if it did imply intent it does not imply moral blame.
Well, why would you keep any money over 1k in a savings/checking account?

Savings accounts nowadays don’t serve any purpose (you definately shouldn’t be saving money in them) besides being FDIC insured. Checking accounts should only hold temporary money in order to finance short-term liquidity constraints (paying off credit cards, etc).

All extra money should be put in a brokerage account: risk-free treasuries, money markets, equities, etc.

But maybe average people don’t have any extra money at all? Or maybe they use savings accounts? I don’t know, but either is sad and irrational.
You do outright own it, though. It's just that outright ownership doesn't free you from all possible obligations or regulations.

For instance, on a minuscule open source project of mine, I wrote all the code and another developer has (kindly) stepped up and managed upgrades to one of the dependencies, bumping the version number when it's time to do so.

If he and I were employed together to work on this project, a workload distribution of me writing and maintaining the entire codebase (minus one line) and him coming by every couple months to update a version number would not be a very fair or realistic division of labor.

The open source development process is very different from anything else. None of my projects at work have a long tail of contributors submitting comment typo fixes.
