Are there cases where company employees are reading your email for some reason other than marketing? Serious question --- I'm not too aware of how and where this is documented.

Your point about being compelled to hand over your key password (email password) is valid and interesting, but I'm inclined to restate my original point: email is not the tool for you if you believe you're apt to be arrested and your communications subpoenaed.
Thankyou,
Google Colab is great for one-off experiments, but it's not something you can rely on for production workloads. You don't have any guarantees your machine will run for some time (it usually shuts down after 15 minutes), it's very difficult to import your existing code and version it properly.
Actual title from the article: Managing Cross-Cultural Communication Barriers

Not sure where the submitter came up with the current submission title.
I like the idea of making the stakeholder express how important a change/project is to them. I've worked on projects where my team thought we were working on mundane stuff only to find out the Sales Department would have been willing to bribe us to prioritize something that would have made their lives so much easier.... and I've worked on projects which were considered mission critical that went basically unused in production. We can throw around all the scrum terms we want but getting the stakeholder to give meaningful input to the value of a story/project is a perennially difficult problem.
I couldn't disagree more.

We have proven that we aren't capable of handling the responsibility that comes with handling coal/gas. And unless you live in a shack in the woods you're a contributor.

Nuclear is the only energy source where we have a 100% plan for the byproduct of energy. While I agree we really need to come up with an alternative. Nuclear may be the only short term stopgap that gets us off of CO2 producing plants in the short term so we can get to a long term.

No nuclear planet has sent our entire planet on a crash course with climate change... Every energy source that powers our lives has a trade off and a byproduct. We all need to admit that, accept it and then make a plan to live in harmony with as much of the earth as we can.
Yeah the accessibility of the manpages was clearly the least significant objection by far, but yours is the first comment about anything else.
You're not wrong, but there's a big middleground here. To a user without some curiosity this:

LibreSSL releases contain several parts:

libcrypto: a library of cryptography fundamentals

libssl: a TLS library

libtls: a new TLS library, designed to make it easier to write foolproof applications

Various utilities such as openssl(1), nc(1), and ocspcheck(8).

With libcrypto, libssl, libtls, openssl, nc, and ocspcheck all links pointing to man.openbsd.org/x does not scream documentation. The words 'documentation' or 'manual' appear nowhere on the libressl home page.

They are undoubtedly present, but unless you click around assuming those aren't links to individual components, you wouldn't think so at a glance.

Pittsburgh, PA is pretty close to natural disaster free. Some parts of downtown will flood from the rivers, and there have been a couple very small landslides in the last two years from too much rain. But for most of the city, there aren't natural disasters really. No earthquakes, the mountains pretty much prevent tornadoes, no hurricanes, and flooding is not an issue unless you live on the bank of the rivers. Elevation increases pretty quickly as you move away from the river banks.

You have to be kidding, no one is going to notice a white drone 3km[0] above them, if there even is anyone around to notice. Sure, a spy sat is better, but it's also orders of magnitude more expensive, can't loiter[1], and might still have inferior imaging. This is just embarrassing.

Not just any arbitrary one, but certainly one that is big enough is a monopolist. This seems obviously true to me.

The big insight from Lina Khan's work is that harm to consumer welfare is sufficient but not necessary for an entity to be a monopoly. Bigness itself is a problem for society.
I actually have the same problem with gmail. I once, as in the last 6 months, waited a good 3+ minutes (as recorded in firefox dev tools) for gmail to fully load. Switching to chrome was a dramatically better experience. I didn't mention it here thinking Google was sabotaging Firefox.

Interesting. But what a potential use case for this? I mean what makes it stand out when put side by side with SQLAlchemy? Does it do anything differently?

From what I've been able to gather from that website, PugSQL is a wrapper around SQLAlchemy. So my question, why do we need a wrapper around an already well established, popular, robust and very powerful library?

Envoy is so slow that deployment at this scale would be too costly, or if you could afford it would immediately present itself as a huge opportunity for cost reduction.

JupyterHub is a decent option, but it's still missing a lot of the features you need to really be a productive data scientist, such as IDE support (code intelligence, command palette) or data science related features (reproducibility, versioning or scheduling). It's also up to you to install it and maintain it — something you don't want to spend time on or you might not know how to do (not many data scientist are experts on managing infrastructure and keeping it secure).
> But. The earth has a tendency to regulate itself and take care of itself. It will wipe out humanity if it needs to and then time will continue.

There is no evidence that the Earth is sentient and assigning needs and wants to it is fallacious. Geological records show that the Earth has gone through several eras where life flourished followed by major extinction events. If we want to achieve long term stability for the human civilization, we need to achieve the power to control the climate and transform landscapes. Of course, we need to do it judiciously; but not developing such capabilities is shooting ourselves in the foot in the long run.
Does the planet _really_ need any more crypto exchanges?

Hardly a week goes by without a couple of new ones starting. Surely we must have more than enough by now?
This looks great but I'm not sure if the title is accurate. For most of the world the barrier to running an exchange is four fold:

1. Technology

2. Regulatory

3. Trust

4. Critical mass

This looks like it only address 1. Which is certainly a big hurdle but I would have loved to seen something explaining how to get 2 - 4 done.

From some of the answers bellow:

> You don't have to trust! 0x Exchanges are non-custodial

That's great. There should be a writeup on that front and center of the how and why.
Ok, this is true. But as a Ruby developer, I'm being approached to program in Elixir, because those are even more difficult to find.

You can find more experienced Ruby devs -- finding someone with multiple years of Elixir would be very difficult.
My take is that they should use the memory subsystem to route the DMA to the appropriate L3 cache.

I don't think the main issue is conserving QPI bandwidth: it's minimizing latency when a core loads the data into L2. That latency often causes ~30% performance drag on e.g. packet processing applications.

Nice to see Python ports of Clojure libraries. Are there others? Is there something close to spec or Plumatic Schema?
Way to thoughtfully articulate your point and make a compelling argument for it.
Yes, I am using Angular CLI and I love it. I'd become jaded over the years with all the Visual Studio way of creating projects, lots of dialogs, popups, template generators and in my opinion dumb boring click-click way of dealing with things where the meat is hidden from the the programmer. With the new stack I feel like I am getting a whiff of fresh air. I'm still using C#/EF to create web APIs and deal with the DB layer but on the front end i'm much happier with Angular/Node/Typescript.
> Providing a single mother with a cash payment to fend for herself in an inflated housing market is not as effective as providing quality public housing. Giving people more money to fill up their cars is not as progressive as offering free public transport.

To me, this is actually an argument for UBI. A poor single mother deserves access to the same market of housing as everyone else! And public transit is great, but your living and employment options are super limited if that is your only choice.

Absolutely, we need to study how much social services would actually need to be offset. Perhaps free housing and buses are still valuable even with UBI. But having dual-class public and private options is not true progress.

It seems that in this author's view, a UBI is only a means to an end for tackling inequality, and doesn't believe the actual poverty alleviation aspects are of value. While I respect the point being made, I would argue that this in itself is a pretty privileged position.
Anyone know how this compares to Teller (https://teller.io/)?
Yes I know it's not literally impossible for me to self-study quantum field theory (or insert other math-heavy discipline) and I have been self-studying math and have made significant progress over the last few years. But I went through medical school and have 2 kids now, so there just isn't time in the day to put in the hours to get to where I want to be in a reasonable amount of time. I don't work at some big cushy tech company where I get paid $120k/yr for working basically 30 hrs a week. I do what I can in the evenings, but there's no way I'll achieve what I could have if I had studied math for 4 straight years when I was single and had no responsibilities.

Thank you for the thorough and practical write-up.

About the only thing I would add to it is i18n concerns.

A few quick ones off of the top of my head:

- Words are separated by whitespace or dashes.
- Customers only ever enter ASCII.
- Customers only ever enter accented characters with/without accents.
- A "Unicode-capable" system will happily take in any valid unicode.
- A "Unicode-capable" system will pass through any valid unicode undisturbed.
- Software systems perform Unicode normalization.
- WinNT API is UTF-16.
- There is 1-to-1 mapping between uppercase and lowercase.
- Unicode collation algorithm is optimal for every single language.
- Unicode collation algorithm is optimal for multi-language document sets.
- Distinguishing/coalescing plural and singular forms of words is easy.
- There are separate plural/singular forms of words.
- Words have stem and optional suffixes, but not prefixes.
- Soundex etc. works for every language.

You're thinking of "Income Share Agreements" which have made their way into the USA.

https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2017/03/why-on...

"ISAs provide students money to cover college costs, and in exchange, students agree to pay back a percentage of their future income for a set period of time—interest-free and capped. At Purdue, for example, a senior majoring in economics who took out $13,000 in a “Back a Boiler” ISA would pay 4.39 percent of her income over 100 months, up to a maximum of $32,500."

"If a student struggles to secure a job after graduation or earns less than $20,000 per year, the college would collect no money. If a student is extraordinarily successful financially, Purdue could be paid back up to 250 percent of the amount originally awarded."

They can let people know it exists through any number of ways. They just can’t bundle that advertisement explicitly into product they sell on the App Store. But they actually do (in the radio spots). They just can’t do it in plain text.

Again, this is can be true in other places in retail as well. Walmart may not be happy if I slap a giant sticker on my box that says, “Buy direct from us for less!” Sometimes the stores don’t care. Sometimes they do. If they don’t like it they reserve the right to kick you off the shelf or ask you to remove it.

As a entrepreneur: Exchange services is very difficult to differentiate. It’s a commodity service. Why should I invest in marketing to promote my new exchange?

- Most of existing tokens have not active project behind
- Many times the token is useless for the project and it will not increase in value if project succeed (just see ZRX token. It’s down -76% from 52wk high while your team is working actively on the project. Why investors have to buy tokens?
everything in this comment is completely, empirically wrong. public services are more efficient and have been basically forever. where public services are bad, it's generally because they are desperately underfunded and cut into by the private sector and austerity governments, which under capitalism are nearly all governments.

This happened to me. I had a 5 star rating until I started using Uber for work travel to/from a busy airport that I live close to. A driver could easily spend 20+ minutes getting to me before they could spend the 15 minutes driving me to my destination for $10. This tanked my rating down to around 4 stars for a while. I was relatively new to Uber so it was easy to check my rating after a ride and do the math to see when I was getting a 1 star review averaged into my rating.

I started tipping the drivers cash which helped, but then I realized it was easier to just use a taxi at the airport. It would only cost a few dollars more, and I wouldn't have to wait for the driver to get through 20 minutes of airport traffic to pick me up. I also didn't have to worry about my rating if I pissed off the driver (especially for short airport fares the drivers seem to like telling me that their credit card machine was broken. Argue with them a bit and the machine magically starts working).

Hi Tom!

After reading the Why page, I still don't have a concrete notion of what this is. So I'll jab a few questions that might help me make some sense:

First question is about decentralization. What is off-chain relay in this case? Is that a centralized part of the system? Are there centralized parts of the system?

Can this be used to implement more robust margin trading? To my knowledge, only centralized exchanges/brokers currently exist for margin trading.

What settlement speeds can be expected?

That's it for the questions. I don't want to retract from them, but I'll mention that the site doesn't work well with Dark Reader: all theme generation modes, except static, render most of the text invisible.
Er, no. I'm using a storage system right now that makes this guarantee; when the store responds to a block write, it's going to be stable. The implementation in question uses battery-backed RAM for performance, but that's just an implementation detail.

This is definitely not impossible. It's not even that difficult (and yes, I've written a number of transactional storage systems over the past 30 years).

Not seeing much discussion of the guy who called it right and is losing his job because of it. I'm not sure if there's a way to know if he's being forced out or choosing to avoid some backlash, but it seems sad that the one person in the story who made the right call pays a hefty price, as opposed to being kept, protected, and/or promoted. Same thing has happened to many people trying to do the right thing, Roger Boisjoly would be a super famous example, one of the engineers who predicted the Challenger disaster.

> > If I sell paper cups to Walmart they will take a 12-17% cut for “entitlements”. I can’t compete with the white label house brand on price that doesn’t have those entitlements.

> The store is obviously going to make a margin to pay for the costs of operating the store. The store brand can't avoid those costs by being in-house because it still needs shelf space and stock clerks etc.

Your implication here is that Walmart's 12-17% charge is fine because that covers the costs of operating the store. Ignoring the fact that 12-17% are in massive excess of the operational costs, your implication is then that storefronts should not make a profit.

Which is frankly a ridiculous notion. Storefronts should make a profit, or there is little point to their existence. The App Store is not a public service. It is a privately-owned storefront. As long as we live in a capitalist society, demanding that the App Store cede its profits is absurd.
