Another worst offender are security questions to unlock accounts. Answers to these questions are usually visible to customer service reps and similar set of questions are asked among different services. This is scary.

It's dangerous as having password stored in plain text as answers to the security questions can potentially unlock many other accounts.

I highly suggest everyone answers each of them with a unique answer.

Yes, that’s exactly why pundits shouldn’t be so confident. All the same reasons for uncertainty apply to investors and pundits alike—-but confidence in punditry garners little risk.

The only response is to wait for Google to fix it.

Nothing you or I or the pager can do will speed that up.

You can have this without user intervention - have the lock download an expiration time with the list of allowed guest keys, or have the guest keys public-key signed with metadata like expiration time.

If the cloud is down, revocations aren't going to happen instantly anyway. (Although you might be able to hack up a local WiFi or Bluetooth fallback.)
Not every file respond to ioctl() and that's not what people mean when they say "unix philosophy".
Yes, in a sense ioctl() does model the object nature, but they aren't discoverable and rather adhoc, as the article points to powershell and capability for reflection for how a OOP based resource access would look like.
Or, perhaps those people could be rewarded in proportion to the value they deliver compared to others. You could then choose to live simply (but with life's essentials), working less, or alternatively you could work hard to obtain prestige and money.

You could say that our society works that way now, but there are innumerable pressures at work (many of them created by our public policy) that compel the less driven and the less capable to work ridiculous hours in "bullshit jobs" just to survive. It isn't necessary to compel less-skilled or less-interested people to work full-time just so that neurosurgeons will go to work. The people at the top of the skill pyramid get there because (a) they want to be seen as "the best" and (b) they want access to the money, power, and/or social prestige that comes with their chosen profession.

So many jobs are either not necessary or could be done in 1/4 the time. Our allocation of labor is massively inefficient, and it can't be just because we are afraid of making hard workers unhappy.
Some things decay quickly and some very slowly, forming a sort of chain where the events might happen fast-slow-fast-fast-superfast-superslow-slow-fast-medium-fast-slow, or something like that.

So these fast-decaying things disappear quickly but are also being constantly created by things spontaneously decaying into them. The point of a nuclear reactor is to increase the overall rates of decay, so you end up with disproportionately large amounts of the short-lived isotopes as opposed to what you would find in nature.

I disagree.
I feel it's not a site's responsibility to stop users from reusing their passwords if they choose to. It has no relation to the security of the service. As a metaphor, a good lock maker protects their customers from lock picking, not from a key left under the mat.

Personally, I reuse a simple password for very non-important services and it's very convenient. I think that's ok, or at the very least I should be able to choose to.

So you spent $2500 per year on having a car. How much would those 6x 600km trips cost you? Then add in the beach trips, each of those is going to cost a fortune with Uber or over $100 if you hire a car.

12,000km per year in Uber’s or hire cars will cost you far more than $2500. Sounds like you’re the perfectly rational car owner. As are a lot of people, this isn’t isolated to US only.

Unless one of the on-demand ride sharing services, gets some kind of membership going, that would be cheaper monthly than owning a car outright, I don't see it.
Most people need the convenience of owning a vehicle and having it available 24/7.
I do see more services like Turo helping with reducing the financial burden of car ownership though.
Not my recollection and I gave a lecture on it (in 1987): https://web.archive.org/web/20081202004655/http://web.onetel...

There are crisp sets, such as the set of French people. People are either French or not French. It doesn't make sense to say that someone's not very French, for example. But it does make sense to say that there's an 80% chance that someone's French, given other information about them.

The set of tall people is a fuzzy set. It does make sense to say that someone's not very tall. Tallness is a mapping from height to degree of membership of the set of tall people. So, for example, tallness(1.6m) = 0.0, and tallness(2.0m) = 1.0. To find out whether someone's quite tall, you could use the square root of tallness,to find out whether someone's very tall, you could use the square, and to find out whether someone's not tall, you could subtract their tallness from 1.0. And you might want to put a value on whether someone's quite tall but not very rich, for example, or make deductions given this.

Maybe at some deeper level fuzzy logic does reduce to probability theory, but the idea is quite different. It's about vagueness rather than about uncertainty.

Kleindienst v. Mandel does not take a stance on the matter of the reach of the Bill of Rights to foreign nationals and was instead decided on different grounds.

The fact that the government can be compelled to allow US citizens to cross the border irrespective of any enumerated standards is orthogonal to the reach of the first amendment to non-citizens. These are entirely different legal matters, and the case you're linking to was decided entirely on the former and not the latter.

Keep in mind that hardware run with a firmware. What is called a hardware issue can actually be a software issue.

It wasn't just one box for us. Basically, the part number was defective (motherboard NIC), every single one that was manufactured. This affected a variety of things, since servers are bought in batch and shipped to multiple datacenters, damn impossible to root cause.

CRC can be computed by the OS (kernel driver) or offloaded to the NIC. I think it's unlikely for buggy CRC code to shipped to a finished product, it would be noticed that nothing works.
> I own my car outright. Calculated, it costs me roughly ~2500 a year to keep it,

Does that include depreciation? Even if you own the car outright, it seems to me that a proper cost accounting should include the cost of eventual replacement of the car.

> On the other hand to take an uber/lyft "only" to-and-from work each weekday

Yes, I think if your daily commute depends on a car, ownership is the most cost effective model. But an increasing number of people are finding ways to commute in other ways.
Except they're not, they're man-made laws. (I don't believe in any deity or religion but arguing on delusions is beyond the point.)
What "moral tests" do credit scores use? You could certainly argue that they are not an accurate reflection of credit worthiness.
> just reasonably close to mass transit

The problem is not that people live outside of cities, it's that many people do not live near viable mass-transit options.

One of the pain points to using Wasm in the real world, is the lack of decent debugging.

eg no ability to run code in a debugger, set breakpoints, etc.

That being said, it's an area being worked on.

Wasm generated by LLVM can already have debugging info stored in it using Wasm "custom sections" (they're a thing) in DWARF format. eg .debug_info, .debug_str, (etc)

So, debuggers are at least possible.

Unfortunately, the way Wasm does variables doesn't map to the way DWARF currently does them. So they can't be encoded correctly. A Major problem. :(

Yury Delendik is working through a spec for fixing that (officially):

https://yurydelendik.github.io/webassembly-dwarf/

His initial implementation, with patches (on an older) LLVM so it generates correct debug info according to the in-development spec, is here:

https://github.com/yurydelendik/llvm-project/tree/frame-poin...

Testing and feedback by a wider audience would be useful. :)

A more recent fork of LLVM (based on 8.0.1 dev ~3 days ago), with Yury's patches applied is here:

https://github.com/justinclift/llvm/commits/release_80-wasm_...

Personally, I'm still trying to get my head around generating DWARF debugging info. Hopefully work it out in a few days. :)

If you're driving yourself to work everyday, no, it isn't cheaper. Many people take public transit to and from work, and also own a personal car.

Why are tips becoming customary for Uber rides? Wasn't one of their original selling points the lack of tipping?
Yes, you are correct, I'm not arguing every single mortgage will end in default, but that every macro environment where zero down mortgages proliferate will always end in tears to whoever is left holding the bag (currently homeowners and investors, and, crucially, rarely loan originators).

Of course, to my knowledge, the only environment where zero down mortgages were really widespread was the mid-aughts housing bubble, but even with an n of 1 I still think it's a bad omen.
I'll upvote you just because that was a trend that I explicitly called out to my wife: "it seems half of the official guidelines seem written around the goal of avoiding blame being shifted outside of the family-unit/potential to be sued rather than any empirical basis, measurement, or cost/benefit trade-off.
Totally. But I will tell you, <C-x> is a habit built around the other options too. So I just use <C-x> on any completion (which I frequently use <C-x><C-f>).

Here's a dumb example (dumb because there's other ways to do it that are better)

Let's say I'm overloading a function.

void foo(int a, int b)
{}

I could do v<C-x><C-p> until I fill in the b, then type ", int c)". Now it'd be totally easier to do "v<C-x><C-l> backspace , int c)", but that's a different point.

Maybe this one is a little more useful

"def _<C-x><C-p><C-x><C-p>" may expand to "def __init__(self" Note that here I'm holding down ctrl and just hitting "xpxp"

Honestly I end up finding a lot of patterns in my code just because I started thinking about it this way. It is more one of those things where once you start thinking about it with it in mind you will find patterns.

It is also an easy habit to develop, if you already use <C-n>, because when you press ctrl you just also hit x and keep your pinky down on ctrl. I feel like there is just no downside to using <C-x> because in reality it is just one more keystroke, which is done with the other hand (so even less increase in work).

Probably more likely people who commute by public transport but who occasionally need a car. If you wanted a car 20 times a year, and rideshare can plug that 10 times, you’d be better off renting the other 10 times rather than owning a car outright.
based on extremely unlikely/ minimal outcomes.

I often get the same feeling, but there's _so few numbers_ in these articles. Where do you get them / how do you come to that conclusion?
I'm in a similar boat. I drive my car a few times a month, so I made a spreadsheet calculating the cost of car ownership, and it was ~$1600 per year including insurance, depreciation, regular repairs, car registration, investment losses, etc (a fairly large portion of the cost is the "opportunity cost" of having funds locked up in a car vs investments). For the number of trips I take Uber ended up costing me about the same, but I lose a fair amount of flexibility in the process.

Based on this I went without a car for about a year and used ride sharing services exclusively, but I found it to be more hassle for very minimal savings. (Some of the variables obviously depend on where you live though. ex: parking)

The fact of the matter is that owning a used car that's 5-10 years old actually isn't that expensive. I purchased my current car for $8k when it was ~6 years old, and did the same for the car before that. Repairs have been basically non-existent, just the normal oil change every year or two (I drive a few times a month).
I like it!

I'll take brief comments that shed partial light on something over no comments at all and no insight at all.
He says 35k km over 3 years so nearly 12,000km per year. He claims gas is $360 per year. That would get you about 5,000km in a small car like he describes. He’s obviously understated the gas cost, probably by leaving out the larger than normal costs when taking the longer trips to the beach/wife’s family. $30 (400km) of usage a month driving to the shops/short trips sounds about right.
Are the requirements on the social media profiles 'higher' on the visitors than on their own population? That doesn't make sense.

This is not a social credit system. The US has zero obligation to let anyone into the country and can deny a visa for no reason at all if they choose.

Reward for the extra day worked? If top performers are rewarded more than everyone else and working the extra day or two is optional,everyone else can opt to not work the rewardless extra day while top performers opt to work a full week for the reward.

It's much like competitive shift jobs for waiters, the good performers get the hard well tipping shifts.

I live in a major US city as well. It would cost me around $300/month to park near my home, and hundreds more to park at my various destinations over the course of a month.

I don't own a car outright - many people obviously do not - so that's another $400+ every month for a rapidly depreciating piece of equipment that will inevitably cost me additional money in maintenance and repairs in the years to come.

And of course there is insurance, gas and registration.

And once I'm spending this $1000/mo for the benefit of owning my very own car, I'd still be using ride shares or public transit anytime I'm going to consume alcohol.

Instead, I spend maybe $50/mo on transit, $100/mo on ride shares and another $200 or so every other month to rent a car for a weekend (and on those occasions, I get to pick the car).

Transportation, to me, is a minor line item in my budget. I never have to search for or pay for parking. I am never in a situation where I would be inclined to drive after drinking. My car can never be broken in to because it doesn't exist. It's actually a pretty sweet setup if you can pull it off.

TBF, Turkey is cheaper for many people both in terms of transportation costs and the value you get for your money. I doubt it’s a coincidence rnce that the lira has been dropping so much in value (30% last year) that international shopping tours were organized Turkey is also trying to position itself as a transport hub so I’ve noticed a lot more people staying in the country for 1-3 days to see a few of the sights.

Going to the US is too expensive for many who aren’y in neighboring countries. It’s also hard to get around.
