Maybe that is why I got downvoted. I would not have said "a man I interviewed." I would have said "a guy I interviewed" or "a candidate I interviewed." I associate the word guy and lady as the same thing, just gendered. I went with the feminine word because it is relevant to the thread - she chose to go into a known toxic environment for woman to, presumably, get a name on her resume. And after a quick thread elsewhere here, I've now learned that some folks don't like the word lady. :themoreyouknow:
Yes, and how does a $5B fine not accomplish that? It's not like any smaller company can look at this and say "well, the total valuation of all firms pursuing these activities is larger than the fine, so it's rational to continue doing that". By all means, fine every company that does this $5B, though.
not once have I noticed my samsung watch using bluetooth, it connects magically when its near the phone and disconnects when you leave it. Doesn't even matter what phone you use, you could get an iphone. Can't speak for android wear but bluetooth is a pretty invisible protocol, especially when it comes to wearables.

apple does absolutely nothing to make bluetooth invisible and force you to pair it using an iphone based app just like any smart "thing" including apple watch, fitbit, etc.
Insider trading and conflicts of interest are uncontrolled in this market. The major shows of works of an artist are scheduled long before they are publicly announced. These shows usually increase the value of works by the artists selected. The big donors to the museums that hold the shows are the kind of people who enjoy and buy art and wind up sitting on their boards. It would be bad enough if they steered the museums to schedule shows of the artists whose works they hold, but even if they do not hold any, they may have months of insider knowledge of future shows during which they can acquire some such works before the show is publicly announced and the market prices of the works rise.
I don't think it's the actual file sizes that people object to so much as all the redundancy and inefficiency that the bloat is indicative of. That is, for every increase in CPU, storage, and bandwidth; app developers insist on throwing it away with another layer of frameworks and intermediary libraries.

Housing groups are usually for people looking to rent a property together, not owners selling/renting.

Some people view that relationship as "you need me so come to me" - in my experience, those are the worst people to live with.

I rather like that Facebook lets people act naturally. The people that reply to those lazy posts are usually poor planners desperately seeking a flatmate... so neither group engages with my ads :D

Exactly. And as for why Icahn wants to sell -- well, he's a pre-IPO investor and might not want to stick around to settle for a public market price in 6 months when there is also possibly demand for Uber shares.
But is that when they "open" the email, or simply them opening Gmail?
In fact the "market cap reaction" shows us nothing of the sort. A large fine was predicted long ago and has been priced into the stock for many months. The most you can say --- and it's a dubious claim still --- is that the market priced a higher fine in. But you still don't know what Facebook's market cap would have been with no fine, and so don't know how the market values this.

Equally likely, though, is that the market doesn't believe Facebook meaningfully benefited from the actions they've been sanctioned for, and that they'll simply comply going forward, making this fine a one-time event that doesn't need to be factored into Facebook's forward revenues (minus what Facebook could have done productively with the $5B that it lost).
The goal here is some window into "what changed". For that, we don't need "compilable", and boilerplate won't be an issue provided it's stable (by no means guaranteed, to be sure).

If I had to bet at even odds, I'd bet against it being useful. But the win is potentially large and the effort isn't.
Green cities are cool. I mean literally, they are up to 4C cooler in apparent temp than bare concrete and steel. Quite apart from the thermal effect, they lift the soul. It says quite a lot that a city like London with so many parks and green spaces needs this (I have found exhausted bumble bees in the area around Wigmore hall on more than one occasion)

Green cities are just nice. If we don't have bees, what are we here for? I don't want to live in a city without flowers, and bees seem a consequent necessity, not a luxury.
Apparently because quite a few people have had bad experiences with it? When filesystems go bad, they really go bad, so it makes sense that these users would feel motivated to share their experiences.

Perhaps it's a vocal minority, but does it matter? Isn't the error rate what's most important? I've seen ZFS horror stories too, but not nearly as many, and that says something at least.

Faster speeds for some do not equate to faster speeds for all. This applies doubly so when bandwidth is metered and may cost the end user more money.

The little wild creatures don't appreciate that visibility. If the recent report on biodiversity loss bothered you, avoiding LED outdoor lighting is one easy action to take locally.
One of the big changes has been the shift to (mostly) solid-state lasers for this kind of work - it's taken longer to scale those up to weaponized power levels, but they're much easier to work with and miniaturize. The telecoms industry did a lot of the fundamental work in this area for fiber optics purposes. Back in the 70s they were using mostly chemical-powered lasers, which could get high powers without high-performance electrical power sources, but were a pain to work with (hence the use of large airliners).

Aircraft these days have much better electrical power systems (since all control surfaces and a lot more engine operation is electrically powered), and new aircraft carriers and surface combatants are being designed with about 50-100% margin on electrical power to make them compatible with these systems in the future.

(I'm the Flutter TL.)

Yeah, I was just writing a design doc earlier today and my math for how big a download we could reasonably expect users to wait for was based on a 5Mbit/s download speed. Half a megabyte takes under a second at that speed, but 5 megabytes takes more like 8 seconds. That's a huge difference. In an environment like the Web, where ephemerality is the norm, you really have to stay below 1MB from what I can tell.
>> Basically, the ability for someone to log into my account by brute forcing or obtaining my credentials

> you ensure that people cannot log in with credentials, even if they have them.

Except that you left out the second part of that sentence:

>> or being able to bypass the log on process by using the conventional second auth factor against me (by doing the same thing to my email account and/or my cell phone provider).

For example: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Mans-1M-Life-Savings-S...

In that case, the person was a victim of a SIM swap scam which redirected password reset messages to the attacker's cell phone, which then allowed them to access the account.

Regardless of how I initially termed it, having another factor just local to the device one is using rather than a 3rd party service that can be compromised in a way that you may not immediately realize is a far better way of doing multi-factor or multi-step auth.

But this solution should not just be limited to the HTTP application level protocol. It should also be available for other application level protocols (IMAP, SMTP, NNTP, IRC, etc). That means that U2F needs to account for this, or we should have more support for using client-side TLS certificates as part of the authentication process.
It's been fun watching this line be repeated for 30 years without getting more correct.

Normal users need good performance too, but the bottom end of the market is always saturated with completely unsuitable crap. A safe way to look at it is that most users need roughly the power of a 2 year old flagship device. That has been true for many years as well.
I don't think this should NOT be done, but I do worry people don't believe source-address spoofing is a thing. Since admin functions usually demand 2-way dataflow in TCP which means a SYN-ACK dance, it's possible the risk is lower here but if it turns out you can send data one-way and effect change in the system, this might not be enough to protect a system.

What do wiser minds say? Is this actually adequate? Isn't it better to ship with some kind of 2FA for admin?
How is increased taxation pro-market?
I agree. Typical users aren't going to complain "hey this app doesn't feel native" or even know what that means!

However, they will likely find it harder to use without an explanation why. If most of the apps a user uses follow the guidelines of Android/iOS, and they are primarily a user of one platform, and your app doesn't follow either, it seems obvious that they won't be able to use their built-up knowledge of how apps work in general to navigate your app.

Most people I know, including myself, have found it initially a little more difficult to navigate around apps from the platform other than the one we are used to using daily.

Apps that insist on creating the same UI on both platforms can be a mixed bag, IMO. Sometimes executed well, sometimes poorly. Because of this, I usually prefer apps that separately comply with each platform.

I am however interested in playing around with Flutter soon!

What are the arguments for and against this measure? I'd imagine that (some) businesses don't want to have to accept cash because it's a hassle and securing/handling cash costs time/money. And the government doesn't want people to be forced to go through an intermediary (i.e. a bank) to be able to participate in marketplace?
It'd almost certainly seem interesting to see whether one might manage to crosspollinate the above paper with this 'recent' generalization result from parameterized computational social choice theory:

Aziz, Haris; Lee, Barton E. – Sub-committee Approval Voting and Generalised Justified Representation Axioms (2017/2018)

Abstract:

"Social choice is replete with various settings including single-winner voting, multi-winner voting, probabilistic voting, multiple referenda, and public decision making. We study a general model of social choice called sub-committee voting (SCV) that simultaneously generalizes these settings. We then focus on sub-committee voting with approvals and propose extensions of the justified representation axioms that have been considered for proportional representation in approval-based committee voting. We study the properties and relations of these axioms. For each of the axioms, we analyze whether a representative committee exists and also examine the complexity of computing and verifying such a committee."

Exactly so: most existent people (myself included) would still insist the current "oughts" still apply in a universe of psychopaths.
The question is why. Given that we can not directly observe or measure ought-ness, there must be some psychological feature that evolved to created the idea in us. Further more, that feature is critically necessary for us, often more than life itself.

We also know it breaks down in hypotheticals. In that example about a world of psychopaths, most would agree right and wrong remain constant. But a different hypothetical, where god and sacred texts say the exact opposite of what they do, we would not see as many people saying their god would now be wrong.

Furthermore, we do know somethings about "ought" like that it is not entirely relative, remains constant across world changes and, is vital to pursue. But we don't know were it comes from and why it varies slightly among cultures. So while we know right from wrong and that such distinctions are vital, we don't know how we know this.

It might be that what I am describing is not quite what is meant by "ought". But there are other vital "self evident" concepts that needed adjustment to their definitions yet those adjustments neither destroy the entire concept nor even make any practical difference.

Time, for example, is not quite what people intuit and heat seems self evidently entirely different than light yet is not. Yet those facts make no difference in every day life. I expect a better understanding of the origin of ethics will follow that pattern.

> More tourism attracts the ire of residents that now have to deal with out-of-town people walking around their neighborhood, but I have rarely seen someone complain about negative economic impact of tourism let alone make a coherent argument about why it's bad.

Tourism is an economic curse similar to the curse of resources. It makes most unrelated economic activity less viable.

Don't think of debugging/stepping through neural network code using the same tools as stepping through procedural code. In the future you'll have better visual tools that show you a lot of information about the state of the network at once, rather than just the contents of a few registers that you see with a modern debugger.

For the record: I'm currently researching on Lucretius as a part of my MA in Philosophy.

This article starts from an assumption on Lucretius intentions that is weird for anyone familiar with the author. The thing is: we actually know way too little about Lucretius to try to make any 'learned' guesses. However, I got the opposite impression reading the article. If that's the starting point of the author's argument, that somewhat taints its point.

Fun fact: all we know about Lucretius is a conjecture. There are so many holes in who he was, how he lived, why he wrote, etc, that some researchers simply go off-script and invent whole biographies for Lucretius [1]. There is even those who go even further and simply state that Lucretius didn't even exist — he was a pseudonym for another author, Titus Pomponius Atticus, a friend of Cicero [2]. Others think that Lucretius' poem was edited by Cicero himself [3]. Others that the poem was tampered by the renaissance humanists [4], trying to make it more coherent and complete.

The point is: no one really knows. So, when I read/hear someone stating very confidently that Lucretius did this or that, that he was this or that person living this or that life, my alarm bells start ringing: there must be a bit of creative interpretation here that goes beyond what the historical facts allow.

The net loss that they are running against revenue is staggering. It is also telling that they bury that in the text and don't move it to the summary infographic. What does a profitable Lyft/Uber look like? We haven't seen it yet.

This also proves a bit of the lie that the drivers are getting screwed out of earnings. The company as a whole isn't profitable and those drivers should be carefully considering their future when, not if, the market losses patience over these losses.

Paul Keating (Australian Labor party) instituted national savings for superannuation with a mandatory contributions scheme set to rise ultimately to 15%. Its stuck on 9% because the moaning about ring-fencing money for future savings struck home with the voters. (it was due to rise to 12.5%)

In practice, the Australian pensions scheme is a bit buggered, half the population will be on government pension and the other half will be tricking things to get juuust below the pension threshold to get benefits cards, and access to medical help, but living life on the hog from the income on the super. (there is a mandatory 4% drawdown rate)

Significant numbers of people in Australia do have >$1.5m in savings, but far more don't and most are under $400,000 which means they are unable to sustain an adequate post-retirement income without government help.

Low wage earners forgo in % terms far more of their income than they can afford to mandatory super. So if you are in the bottom quartile, this super scheme enforces lifetime poverty when its likely you were always going to be on the pension, and could have used the net present value of the money to better effect.

People like me? I contributed to a scheme which paid above normal, and I made extra payments to the ceiling, and I have not been low paid since my dishwashing days in the 1970s and I'm going to be fine.

In principle this 401(k) thing is true. In practice it depends where you sit in the lifetime income profile, and your age and future expectations. it is probably better to save, but if you don't earn enough, and can secure government aid in retirement (in australia, the UK, Much of Europe, New Zealand) it is much less clear.

High income earners? Sure. Save more.

Same here. Multiple other brands have high failure rates in a short amount of time. In my case I think it is because of the poor quality mains power which suffers frequent spikes and outages during storms. Philips seems more robust to those conditions. They used to cost a good deal more but have come down to price parity with other brands.
