In python a dictionary key can be any `hashable` object. In practice this means almost any immutable type can be used (e.g. unicode strings, bytes, tuples, etc).

However, unicode strings are by far the most common dictionary key and the core language uses them extensively.

The problem is information asymmetry. The problem is often due to information the decision makers don't have, while the proper solution requires information the complaintants don't have. This, it's only possible to propose a solution together.
How about the pleasures of life without other people's music and TV, which adults and children play aloud with no headphones in NYC, on a subway and in a forced, enclosed space?

Should we thank the geniuses who designed phones with amplified speakers and no headphone jack (some people are too poor/cheap for Bluetooth I suspect)? Or do we thank Facecrook and Instascam for out-loud videos cranked up at a higher volume on Android?

Or a breakdown of norms due to being a permissive, some call freer society?

Whatever it is, it's a quality of life detriment for those of us in dense areas, and a personal pet peeve.

It's indeed important to note whether these devices have local control, but it's also important to note there there's no reason that a smart device and a smart phone cannot authenticate one another and communicate over a LAN.

I would hate to rely on my phone to unlock my door, only to find that when Google has an issue my door is effectively a wall. I'd also hate it if the lock opened on a loss of connectivity.

>If we socialized gains and privatized losses (in the sense of never bailing out those agents that got themselves into bad situations), these cycles would at worst be much less severe and frequent.

You should look at the severity and frequency of economic cycles around the world throughout history and I bet you'd reconsider this position. Often times they lead to the collapse of entire nations or worse, war.

Is that worth it to teach an overleveraged business a lesson? Remember, "businesses" don't make these decisions in a vacuum; they are run by and consist of people. People win and people lose in every cycle (just not always the same or most deserving groups).
This article is a bait and switch. It starts as though it has a general point to make about the idea of the public intellectual, when in fact the real purpose is the simple, everyday attack on those who have different political opinions to the author.

> Speaking of white audiences … here’s where I mention the intellectual dark web even though I would rather not. It’s the place — online, outside the academy, in pseudo-intellectual “free thought” mag Quillette — where reactionary “intellectuals” flash their advanced degrees while claiming their views are too edgy for the schools that graduated them. These are your Petersons, your Sam Harrises, your Ben Shapiros, the white (non)thinkers, usually men, tied in some vague way to academia
That's different from what OP's point is.

Dealing with refund requests is easy. The problem is customers who request chargebacks from their banks instead of requesting refunds from you.

Payment providers usually contest such chargebacks automatically. This ends up costing you a fee. And if you lose the dispute, or issue a refund as a matter of course, these chargebacks contribute to lowering your account's reputation. If this gets out of hands it can put your ability to receive payments in jeopardy.

What would be much more ideal is that, when the bank signals that one of its customers is contesting a charge, the payment provider would simply refund the charge without questions. And, assuming refunds (and chargebacks) are the exception rather than the rule, without the process lowering your score.

A lot of properly old fashioned paper is a very long way from white, and much more friendly for reading in the sun. Brilliant white bleached paper in even paperbacks seems quite recent, requiring use of sunglasses. Most of the books I remember from 70s and 80s - and I still have many - were much lower contrast, even in expensive hardbacks or heavy glossy art papers.

On desktop I prefer black on white, on phone white on black - but I would generally prefer tuning both down to lower contrast than either OS or websites want to let me. On my laptop I have the darkreader addon that lets me turn contrast down. My phone gets to stick in inverted accessibility mode as a part measure that is the nearest I can get. :( I've never yet had a smartphone that let me set display as I'd like - either on Android or Apple.

Output should never be stable in theory as people will not always need the same amounts of the same things. Optimally, output of consumer goods would dwindle if they were made to last as long as possible and convincing people to buy shit they don't need or really even want wasn't a key component of the economy. Also, the notion of "ways to use people" seaks directly to the alienation of labor central to capitalist systems.

> This isn't really true, though. Rather, I think there are tradeoffs.

One might say I stripped all nuance (etc) to make my point.

I agree with your second paragraph. On your first: I have a long-standing beef with references, though. The selection of references, I think, is much more significant than the contents themselves. And it takes a lot of expertise to intuit the degree of selection bias. It takes ground knowledge of the things not selected. I think a part of this Dunning Kruger trap is the illusion one can fact check and verify an argument. So the very presence of references becomes the shibboleth.
Not sure expiration is the worst problem with passwords. In no particular order,

* Most are easy to remember (most of us don't use LastPass etc)

* They authenticate the user but not the service!

* They're leaky (the system tells you when you have the wrong one, facilitating several kinds of attacks)

* People leave them lying around all the time

* Changing one almost always involves using the old one (instead of starting over from first principles)

Don't get me started on usernames! If you have a large hashed password, then the username becomes irrelevant (except as a way of leaking information).

Here's a modest proposal:

* Insist on large hashed passwords (256bit or better).

* Forget about usernames. The password becomes an 'account key' and is all you need

* Allow delegation: from one account to another; enable/disable features even for the 'main' account; give away authority for delegation at the feature level

* Never deny login for any reason, because that leaks security info (e.g. 'that password is illegal' is information). Just trust every legal password, and if it doesn't exist in the system then create a new default account
If we socialized gains and privatized losses, there'd be less severe cycles because there'd be less economy to have cycles on.
Yeah. I didn't mean to imply this is only a future problem, just that it will most likely eventually affect the entire global population.

This would depend on how well stripe can detect fraud.

Yep. I think I can recall exactly one corporate network that prevented password(n+1) combinations. Most don’t and as a result my corp passwords have historically not been great.
Yep, especially for inexperienced divers. This is why one of the cert qualification dives is a "deep" dive, usually in the 90-110ft (30ish meters), and why that dive is usually just a really simple descent + a few elementary tasks at the bottom while maintaining neutral buoyancy.
I find the arguments about pirating interesting; they often go into arguments about "intellectual property", but what we're really talking about here are different publishing methods. BitTorrent is one fairly effective publisher that does offer content for free, but it does require a consumer to take on some costs: risk of going to a sketchy site and risk to their computer (viruses). If a streaming service is good enough and cheap enough, it can offer enough value to a consumer that the consumer will choose the streaming service over BitTorrent.

Considering that this is going to require streaming services to really reduce the cost to the consumer, how can the streaming services have a sustainable business model over the long term to support themselves? The subscription model is one way, but the gaming industry may be ahead here: charge for each individual item, but make it really cheap. For example, a consumer might scoff at paying $3 per episode of GoT, but $1 or $.50 might be pretty nice... add that up for a season, and your streaming service has made almost as much as a subscription would have made. Of course, this requires streaming services to continue to offer new, good content to continue to entice consumers, which they might not like having to do.
MCAS was not designed to make the 737 Max behave like the 737 NG or Classic. It was designed to make the 737 Max certifiable at all.

The problem with the 737 Max is that the engine nacelles are further forward and larger than previously, so the lift that the nacelles make at high angle of attack is greater. This results in less stick force being necessary to maintain a high angle of attack than at lower angles of attack. This is uncertifiable behavior. Hence, MCAS, to augment the manuvering characteristics of the 737, to increase stick forces at high angles of attack.

In a hypothetical universe where the Max was the first 737, it'd be fly by wire and all the stick forces would be synthetically generated anyway.

It'd be great to see Stripe adopted by donation platforms for livestreaming like Streamlabs and StreamElements, chargebacks remain an awful abuse vector there.
>unfulfilled need for a group identity and sense of belonging.

To some extent perhaps, the non-hate group types are very very guarded and closed to outsiders in my experience, they are generally private to those outside of kin (blood relation) and kindred (like a coven, church, clan, group) which are often pretty small groups of people.

For those remotely interested just go randomly browse /r/asatru and /r/heathenry for the non-racist types and make your own observation.

Personally I find them to be an interesting lot, there are quite a few that still do blood sacrifices and from their self-reports on ritual it seems to largely just be a lot of getting together, getting drunk, and dancing around in a field/woods/someone's yard with the occasional mention of some practice or ritual that may or may not have a basis in historical reality, usually based largely off of a modern book or a combination of archaeological discoveries and surviving myth/poetry.
I guess that's true if you consider churches weird. Some are weird. Most are full of fairly normal people. Other than the desire to focus on growing as people. And, depending on your area, the theism.

But all the other desires and concerns you list are met by millions of people by going to church. And participating! Just like university, it's possible to go while essentially being disconnected from everyone.

And if the concern is the weirdness, most churches would be more than happy to let folks join in on activities and charitable work with no theological or financial commitments. I've never seen religious tests in churches other than to be a teacher of religion, which makes sense.

Not sure about OP’s costs, but I sell physical goods and have a similar attitude: I don’t want money from anyone who’s not delighted to give it to me. Most people are good most of the time and it works out fine.

I have had a couple of obvious scammers take advantage, but that’s on them to square with their conscience. Life’s too short to spend it fussing with folks like that.
One way to think of it: Computers enabled massive economic growth, which in turn led to higher carbon emissions. It would be interesting to try to quantify the increase/decrease in carbon emissions due to computing.

This is a very narrow argument, it's well know how much eye strain is caused by staring into a full screen LED all day.
A darkmode allows concentration and focus over longer periods without strain that completely outweigh any reduced focus due to slightly worse perceived contrast... not to mention how much better rested you will be after using darkmode before bed.
It gives a good CMS/JS security overview (much better compared to other services I previously used), scans for cookies and HTTP/S headers, locates privacy policy and bunch of other non-intrusive checks.

Card issuers are often able to detect
that a transaction is fraudulent before
it is disputed, and when this happens,
they will send us a notification.

Is there a mechanism like that but in the reverse direction? i.e. if a seller detects someone testing stolen cards, and wants to alert the card issuer all those cards are stolen?

Interesting. Reminds me of when I worked on the Zeus Web Server: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeus_Web_Server

It was a static content focused poll-based (might have had epoll too) web server written in non-STL C++ which dramatically outperformed multi-threaded Apache. I remember it had a "stat cache" to reduce the number of syscalls made, and a nice set of string classes for passing around substrings of e.g. HTTP headers.

Banks tend to have savings from everybody. If they're dumb and they lose that money, a lot of people will lose their lives' savings.

> A local agriculture will drive down the cost of food

Is this true? In my experience the cheapest food is rarely almost never locally produced. It may be marketing and the demand for local food is higher.

Long supply chains have a lot of value add. Sure there is cost to transporting and storing the food, but the process has other efficiencies that more than make up for the cost. I've even read stories about Central American countries exporting their produce only to reimport it back for the locals to conusme.

These vehicles are ultimately transitional steps on a road to an all electric future, and it seems that's already starting to happen. According this this article, people dont want to go out and buy a hybrid or electric car, they want to buy the car they want such as a rav4 and have it be electric or hybrid. No more silly looking cars that advertise how eco friendly they are. Heres to hoping electric cars become cost competitive to gas cars within the next decade!
