If there's nothing sketchy going on... what are they getting a warning for?

> You can't make a good first impression on a speed camera... I'd much rather have laws that go fishing than robots that enforce the law to the letter 100% of the time.

I don't want people being let off because they make a good impression! That lets the police enforce laws based on their biases, such as race or gender. I'd much rather have simple factual enforcement. Either you were speeding or not.
It's a slippery slope because the logic used to rationalize special treatment is that the outcome isn't the same for different people. Whatever measure or system they come up with, it won't change that, and they'll demand yet another concession.

In the progressive orthodoxy, merely observing that some distribution isn't independent of gender or ethnicity is necessary and sufficient proof of discrimination, and sufficient justification for a power grab too.
Yup, the ones we rode had a digital speedo, and I rode mine almost 30 a few times when the roads permitted it (on the southern side of Paris where they're smooth and relatively open). It was kind of scary though given the small wheels and lack of helmet so we generally kept our speed lower than that.
You could archive pages! ;)
this isn't a traffic problem, it is a zoning issue. Most cities suffer the same problem, affordable housing at any level is almost impossible to build for many reasons. From the land use regulations prohibiting tall buildings, from "concerned groups" looking for their slice of the pie or exercise of their political connections to city leadership, to environmental concerns which most are copies of the previous issue, to labor use issues restricting who can even do the work.

If more people could afford to live in town it would alleviate a lot of in town traffic. So until we can take city planning, at least the veto and coercion part, away from local politicians, not much is going to be done. I am not saying cities should have no say, what I am saying is that independent boards should be established to stop political graft which is the biggest inhibitor.

> suppose an attacker is able to get unprivileged code to run on your machine (by taking over some process). He is now able to extract secrets from other processes on the machine that he ordinarily wouldn't have access to. Think SSL keys etc.

I think that's the catch: it's the set of cases where someone can get code execution without being able to directly retrieve the targeted data, which is already pretty low, and where the best mitigation technique is to harden against these attacks rather than use a dedicated service (e.g. if you're using an HSM for crypto or have a dedicated SSL-offload box, you don't have to worry about keys being compromised when someone finds a bug in the much greater exposed surface area of your application).
A Peak into Einstein’s Zurich Notebook
I agree with your answers, but I would like to point out that a few dollars per year isn't necessarily a trivial amount depending on who you ask. And top-level domain fees are more or less flat across countries, besides a few exceptions.

I had never heard about geocities, that's interesting, thank you for sharing this.

Now, to elaborate a bit more about what I said, I don't think there is a lack of technical solutions for this, but rather a fully integrated solution is missing.
I would like to be able to "seed"/mirror specific content, like articles that I find interesting. Of course, that wouldn't help with content I (or others) haven't read already, but you would be responsible for the content you host, as you pick it (unlike ipfs or freenet, AFAIK). Integrated in a web browser, I suppose it could also "mirror by default", though I would be concerned about leaking user-specific content (so maybe a spec/protocol extension would be necessary for html/http to tell what could be mirrored?).

It occured to me that this was a bit like "boosting" a post in mastodon. Indeed ActivityPub could be an interesting transport mechanism for this, and could be a way to propagate update notifications back. Though I am not sure the content itself is mirrored with the current mastodon "boost" implementation.
A mirror index could also be ran over DHT, while a "search engine" could provide the post hashes, and let clients fetch the content from the DHT.

The whole idea is still quite a bit rough, but it surprises me that in 2019, hosting plain text content (more or less a few images) in a future-proof way isn't a solved problem, and we still have to rely on the Web archive. Applying trusted timestamping (by a few trusted third-parties) to the web archive content would be a good start, to trust mirrored content.

> It's useful independent of whether the comment is sarcastically enthusiastic, hyperbolic, vague or bitter.

You can say that, but until you've actually offered an argument that supports your conclusion I have no reason to reconsider my view. There's no question IMO that a sentiment can be useful while being sarcastic, hyperbolic, vague or bitter. I just don't believe that this one was, for the reasons I've previously stated.

> Your actual objection seems to be that it's hypothetical when in fact that's the point of the technique.

No, my objection is that it is hypothetical without reasoning for how the actual matter at hand could form a basis for the hypothesis. To say that because SAT scores are adjusted for adversity, "adversity scores should also be counted towards recruitment in elite military units, selection for senior military leadership and all significant promotions" begs the question: why? The post doesn't answer that question.

> Why claim a simpler non-sarcastic example on how honest test scores matter was somehow not made?

I haven't. Plenty of users have written simpler, non-sarcastic examples on how honest test scores matter. I acknowledged this already, and I'm not sure why you'd think otherwise.

> if what you wanted was the computer to calculate a_complicated_computation_that_yields_left(x) and make a nonvirtual call then you should have told it that.

Again, you're showing a preference to the zero-cost abstraction philosophy; the zero-cost use philosophy is intentionally different. The problem is that the computer cannot tell ahead of time whether it will be able to elide a branch or not. Suppose you tell it it should, what should it do if it can't know for sure that it can? If you say it should fail -- that's the zero-cost abstraction philosophy; if you say it should try -- that's the zero-cost use philosophy.

> and it will still work just as well as it would in a unityped language

I don't understand the analogy. Whether you infer or explicitly state, you still want all pertinent information statically known. This is the zero-cost abstraction philosophy (which you seem to prefer). My view is the following: the vast majority of things we'd like to statically know cannot be known at an acceptable cost. The question is what should we do with the rest? Should we pay for the effort of helping the compiler with what we can know, or let the compiler do its thing, which includes taking into consideration things that cannot be statically known. For the domain C++ and Rust target I prefer the first (because there isn't really much of a choice); for other domains, I prefer the second.

> Imagine inferring the worst-case performance characteristics of all program functions just as a part of the language.

I am not sure what exactly you mean here. In general, inferring properties statically has some very clear benefits and very clear costs. The more precise the information, the higher the cost.

>when demand outstrips supply adding a different type of supply (like an apartment building) won't depress prices materially (for detached single family residences). they're different market segments.

That's not how the real world works. In the real world, people who want to live in a single family home also want to live in a low density area. No one wants a single family home if there's a bunch of apartment buildings across the street.
I changed my book from 10$ to free.

After 300 sales I decided it was better to let hundreds of thousands learn how to save money, than 300.

I suppose my request as an author, give feedback. At least let me know what you like or didn't like.
Go to http://exoplanet.eu/diagrams/ and select "Semi-major axis" for the X axis (this is the appropriate analog of "radius" for an ellipse) and "Planetary Mass" for the Y Axis. Note that the bottom right corner is empty because we can not yet detect stuff there. All of the solar systems planets would be in that corner. The Fulton gap is the lower density region at 0.1 to 0.2 jupiter masses.

Yeah, I've seen similar stupidity at my employer. Most recently a trip to San Diego (from DC) for a convention. Convention was Sunday-Wednesday and travel was only approved on those days.

Not only were the Saturday fares less expensive by about $300, which was roughly in line with hotel cost, they were also direct. All the Sunday flights had layovers in the normal mid-western hubs. Seemed like a no-brainer to allow the Saturday travel, but nope, it required special approval from a VP.

Wrong. The law is quite clear on this. They are not allowed on public roads, unless they are RDW-approved. Those that are approved (like the Segway) are considered mopeds, require a moped-licence and the minimum age of 16, and are consequently forbidden from using the pavement.

Writing Viruses for Fun, Not Profit
Ok, so we can explain this plus Dark Matter in one shot. Basically, planets slightly larger than Earth are practically guaranteed to evolve intelligent life. Intelligent life eventually develops technology that allows them to shield the existence of their planet, or even entire stellar system, from the probes of the Evil AI Lifedestroyer. So, all that Dark Matter is just the intelligent life in the universe, using normal prudence to keep out EAILD (see above), more or less like most humans live in houses with walls.

So, any system that is not part of Dark Matter yet is either:
1) unconducive to life (or complex life, anyway)
2) was already zapped by the EAILD
3) like us, is in a transient state where the EAILD hasn't arrived yet, but we haven't learned how to cloak our solar system yet either

Again, the key here is that planets just slightly larger than Earth are the most likely to evolve intelligent life, so they nearly always end up cloaking, and thus we don't see them.

Enjoy.
> So as far as I can tell it wouldn't matter if it was posted on Medium or a personal blog on their own site.

Indeed it doesn't matter. Medium is just the quickest/easiest/nicest way to write something and get a nice webpage out. Compared to wordpress/blogger/... the UX is just that little bit nicer, and the resulting web page is nicer on the reader (at least, the reader who doesn't mind pushing the login button once at some point) too.

Nothing that isn't privileged information, unfortunately.

> Everything I know and have found says IPs are classed as personal data only if combined with other data. I've yet to find anything that supports your claim, which is why I changed my mind on this.

Recital 30 (https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-30/) says "in particular" when combined with other information, but the addition of that phrase indicates this is not the only case. The accuracy of your statement depends on how you interpret that recital. Based on this case (https://www.alstonprivacy.com/ecj-declares-ip-addresses-pers...) I suspect the broader interpretation is the one that would win over regulators.

Additionally, the information about that case states there is clear agreement that static IPs are personal data, which alone contradicts your belief.

It's not about heroification and myth-making or what you're used to. It's entirely about the excitement found in the chaos, and either you thrive on that, or you hate it... or you get Stockholm Syndrome and learn to love it because of the psychological trauma of running that gauntlet.

It's stressful for sure, in a manner not dissimilar to jumping out of a plane for the first time. The rollercoaster of emotions. The dread and worry about how the fuck you're going to pull off the impossible. The heartbreak you feel as you think you're just not going to be good enough to pull it off this time. The relief when you manage it again. The exhilaration of having come through it, perhaps with some bumps and bruises, but you made it and it didn't kill you.

Work in this kind of environment long enough and it will either break you or make you feel like there's nothing you can't do. One thing's for certain though, it does change you, in a way that those who haven't worked in startups will never quite understand.

Consulting is certainly a different mindset. You can either become attached to the project and make it as much your baby as the rest of the team, or you can function as mentor and help them to grow to the point they can handle it themselves. There's a lot of satisfaction in this. I find that the more emotionally involved I am in a project, the more fulfilling it is. The more detached I remain, the less so. I get a lot of enjoyment about being part of a team coming together for the achievement of a goal - even if that goal is to make someone else rich. When a project is personal, and by personal, I mean I'm emotionally attached to the outcome and I am vested in seeing it succeed, the emotional highs and lows are where the magic is found... that's what makes me feel alive and that is what I live for.

That's a very simplistic view. In Paris for example cars come from outside the city, from people who live too far / don't have access to public transportation / have kids / need cars for their job / or are just too lazy to do something else. These people can't/won't use scooters.

I'd agree with you if 1 scooter = 1 less car, that would be awesome. But it's pretty obvious when you visit Paris that it's not the case though, scooters are mainly used teenagers and tourists, who wouldn't use car in the first place.
I really should know better. I typically argue "don't talk to cops" when stuff like this comes up. And if I were SWATed right now, I'd hit the UPS panic button, and politely request a call to my lawyer. Because there's really nothing for me to say that would help me.
