There are many other voting systems that are better than the current first past the post (FPTP) voting system that the US currently uses. None are perfect, but pretty much every single one is better than FPTP.

A ranked-choice voting system would encourage the existence of more parties. Even a run off voting would help with the existence of more parties, while still preserving the simplicity of FPTP (though, getting people to vote is hard enough, forcing them to go vote a second time would probably be even harder).

This was the most interesting data point to me, and was an interesting counterpoint to easyDNS's realization that they were essentially a remote-employee only company. It also made me realize that "the cloud" isn't just a place where software goes, but where organizations can now go. (This is probably glaringly obvious to many others, but I'd never really thought of the cloud this way.)
Yes, if they announce the new "integrated" dependabot version will continue to only use public APIs, that would be a major positive statement about the "openness" of Microsoft GitHub. Otherwise buying major tools and integrate them looks scary.

Anecdote:

My wife and I normally file with turbo-tax, and usually end up owing money to the government. This year was different, and we actually got money back.

We have to pay to use turbo-tax (like 39.95 or whatever). When it was asking how we wanted to pay, there was an option where it could be taken out of our refund. We selected this; and were about to hit submit before we noticed that 39.95 figure twice.

Turns out they were going to charge us 39.95 to use their product, and (I doubt accidentally) 39.95 to pay them out of our refund. We sprinted back, chose to pay with our card (which was free) and filed.

I felt like I needed to shower after.

> That's the professional bureaucrat overseeing the work e.g. an architect

I'm sorry but that's absolutely wrong. You don't become an Architecte en chef by promotion, it's a competitive exam that requires extensive knowledge of art history, ancient architecture and preservation/restoration techniques. Most architects with this title have businesses of their own, they're just specialized in restoration work rather than construction work, and they're assigned a number of territories to study and preserve their monuments (as long as they're state-owned). It's not, at all, about "navigating the civil service", and since they're architects, they're not overseeing any architects besides their own employees.
Our current economic system's growth is based off of exploitation. As far as growth in general, I think there are very few frontiers left. Almost all usable land has been claimed. Almost all minable resources are being extracted. There are certainly going to be technological gains that will increase quality of living, but is that "growth" in the sense that we're producing more than before?

People seem to be really offended by the idea of not having a growth economy. As if it's some horrible thing that at some point our population will remain constant and we can find an economic model that doesn't rely on consuming an ever-growing amount of resources (blasphemy).

In the way I described, you're reversing cause and effect in many cases and putting the blame on people for being in a situation mostly out of their control. Poor people aren't poor because they spend all their money on avocado toast and fidget spinners, they're poor because wages have stagnated and the costs of housing, education, and healthcare have skyrocketed. The "welfare queen" stereotype of a poor person recklessly spending money doesn't reflect the evidence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_queen#Gender_and_racia...

It costs a lot of money to be poor in the USA:

“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”

> Remember, rising empires build roads, and declining empires build walls.

That’s a fine statement but the wall building is a symptom of decline, not a cause of it. I don’t think the Roman Empire would have reversed it’s decline by building more roads to Scotland and Germany.
To be perfectly honest- i do not look at the person any more. I only look at promises and outcomes. Power and Money corrupt absolutly, so i dont even want to waste time on the displays of those with rigid morals. They usually do not accomplish anything, cause any move could bring down the little statue of themselves they put up as example.

I rather have a rupt to the core bastard, which still prevents a catastrophic climate change, because he game of thrones whole industries.
And of the ones that do there is a lot of leakage with people taking loans or cashing out accounts when they change employers.

This is specifically what I am working on but taking the angle of helping people break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and make some progress towards their goals. If someone can save up enough to establish a small emergency fund then they are less likely to raid their retirement savings when their car breaks down or they get a medical bill they cannot afford. Further, when one feels like they have their financial life in order they are more willing to make 401(k) contributions beyond their matching amount.

It is difficult though. The default action for people and their personal finances is inaction. Working through some ideas to help that but there is no silver bullet.

Truly timeless is a very difficult thing (see the work by the Long Now Foundation for more on that). But I don't think that detracts from the point that these cathedrals were designed to last forever, from the perspective of the designers - the Notre Dame is 856 years old. It took about a century just to build it. It was epic, and clearly, it still is.

Who builds a building like that today? Other than the Long Now's clock, who is really building things designed to last for centuries, millennia? That's my point. Even the most epic of modern architecture generally isn't thinking beyond a century or so. Hell, my house is over 100 years old. So modern materials thinking, in its usual box, is not really up to the task of re-roofing Notre Dame in the way it deserves.

That doesn't mean we can't do it, or we should just build another flammable wooden roof. But it does mean that we need to think about how it should be done, to protect and preserve the legacy of that historic triumph of the human spirit over time itself.

If you're worried about true timelessness... even the pyramids will die someday, eaten by the relentless desert sands. But we can maybe make something that lasts as long as human civilization itself, if we try.

This is kind of an unhelpful statistic. Thanks to extended adolescence and over education many Americans don’t really start working until their mid to late 20s. So the fact that younger workers have no savings doesn’t say much about the economy. It also ignores social security. Even if you earn $15,000 a year, so long as you work 35 years, social security will keep you around the poverty level. It also ignores pensions, which 13% of workers (and almost a quarter of baby boomers) are entitled to receive.
There's a guy in the high power rocketry hobby that is aiming for space this August at the BALLS event in Nevada. He won't say it, but given what he's done in the past, and the pictures of what he's building there's no other reasonable explanation.

The initial email exchange is indeed a sight to see, so I transcribed the text in the image:

Hello Mike et al

Thank you for making yourself available. There is a security vulnerability on the delivery.panerabread.com website that exposes sensitive information belonging to every customer who has signed for an account to order Panera Bread once. This shows the customer's full name, email address, phone number and the last four digits of their saved credit card number. Moreover, the users are easily enumerable which means an attacker can crawl through the records.

I can provide the specific details of the vulnerability over email once you respond, but if you prefer (for more security), I can also encrypt the information with a PGP key you provide me. Alternatively we can hop on a phone call.

Best Regards,
Dylan Houlihan

My team received your emails however it was very suspicious and appeared scam in nature therefore was ignored. If this is a sales tactic I would highly recommend a better approach as demanding a PGP key would not be a good way to start off. As a security professional you should be aware that any organization that has a security practice would never respond to a request like the one you sent. I am willing to discuss whatever vulnerabilities you believe you have found but I will not be duped, demanded for restitution/bounty or listen to a sales pitch.

Regards, Mike
>an architect who chose to do his career in the civil service and is suffisently adept at navigating it/old enough to have been promoted. That is not in itself particularly reassuring...

I have been paying a huge chunk of my paycheck towards social security ever since I started working full time at the age of 16. If I continue putting money into social security and never see it because I die at 70, how is that fair?

I would rather the government just give me all my social security money back and let me invest it. I have probably given them a couple hundred thousand dollars by now.

Tech companies hiring the most in bay area
Hi all,

I added job descriptions for the five thousands or so active job listings on Employbl. Listings are all for companies that have at least one physical office in San Francisco Bay Area.

Now you can search for jobs by a keyword like "javascript" or "sql" or "digital marketing" or "demand generation".

All job listings are populated by the Greenhouse API. About 175 bay area tech companies use Greenhouse as their applicant tracking system. Those are the companies that I pull jobs from!

When searching for jobs I wanted to see all the companies that Employbl has jobs for in one place.

Here's the link to see the page: https://employbl.com/job-listings/companies

Headlines that say "Fed survey shows 40 percent of adults still can’t cover a $400 emergency expense" are technically incorrect. A majority can cover the expense with either cash or credit.

But I think that misses the point.

Only 41.8% have enough cash on hand. That is, a majority of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck. They're not saving money or building wealth - they're surviving.

Maybe this is the norm in other countries. Maybe it's the historical norm. But it doesn't bode well for wage earners.

> All of the language semantics is thrown out of the window when you can realistically sum or concatenate the same two elements, but the operator can only be used for one case (example: python and numpy).

Huh? You can't realistically "concatenate" two numbers and you can't "add" two strings. You can only concatenate two strings, or a string and an (implicitly converted) number. You can only add two numbers, or the elements of two number arrays (or matrices). Plus isn't the "sum operator" (Σ). There generally is no sum operator, there's a sum function (which works on iterables).

So what's the issue? It doesn't cause problems unless you confuse types, which shouldn't happen in a statically typed language.

> For the list of examples, you can just use tuples if you want the "clean" look.

Is that really true though? Can I initialize an array of records with tuples that are implicitly named?

> There is no need to change the record semantics which is the same in almost all languages.

This is basically C/C++ syntax, which somehow manages to be less verbose than many supposedly terser languages.
