Yeah, I don't expect bike sharing to ever be profitable outside of (major) city centers. Maybe that's a good thing -- once we get over this stupid fad of monetizing basic improvements to urban life, we'll be able to buy the equipment for pennies on the dollar and run it as a public service ;)

FWIW, I think your analysis (young, educated, bourgeois) is spot on, and that bikeshare companies are completely aware. Check out this map of Citi Bike's availability:

https://member.citibikenyc.com/map/

If you're not familiar with NYC: it's only available in business, wealthly/middle-class, and rapidly gentrifying areas. To continue my baseless speculation: it wouldn't surprise me if Citi Bike's (hypothetical) profitability relied on only serving these populations. Reprehensible, and another reason to agitate for bike shares as an extension of public transport.

The idea behind ownership transfer is to ensure that an application never sees another application’s namespace. Ownership transfer doesn’t really involve copying files as it does on iPadOS — it is still held at the same location on disk. The original application can just no longer see it as it no longer remains in its namespace. At the end of the operation, the second application may choose to retain or relinquish the file as needed.
There's actually no shortage of B side tracks that went on to became of the most famous, favorite and popular songs in rock history. Sometimes even eclipsing the A side. [1][2][3]

Everything from Elis "Hound Dog", The Smiths "How Soon is Now" to Zeppelin's "Hey Hey What can I do." B-sides are/were often a chance for an artist to release something the record company rejected for the album but the artist really wanted to release. B-sides are actually often things for the fans.

I assume SEO targeting and associating phrases with various products. For example, people on Reddit will name and shame by dropping people's names accused of crimes next to the thing they are accused of in a complete sentence. This is an attempt to promote the relevance of those two facts in Google Search to each other.
Western countries already do so much to protect the environment from plastic that there's not much room to improve. It almost all gets buried in landfills or burnt, not spilt into the ocean. Since we've pretty much solved the problem already, why not invest that money into something we're not doing well, like CO2 emissions? Even if we were to reduce plastic waste in the ocean, perhaps there are less costly ways, like fining people for littering, putting nets on the stormwater drain outfalls, or, shockingly, stop trying to recycle if that's how it's getting into the ocean.

All environmental efforts have a cost and it's a mistake of hyped-up media consumers to assume that the latest popular cause must be fought at any cost. There may be other, more effective, uses of that money on things that aren't in the news right now.

I would be curious to know if this is the best way to learn a technical skill using a course in github?

Are there other variations of using github for a course?
I think so, actually. The reason is that usually carbon-based life gets its carbon from CO2. But life doesn't stop growing because it's going to kill itself, cf. global warming. So photosynthesis on these planets might continue until their atmosphere is drained of CO2 and they freeze. Then again, I suppose there could be an equilibrium, but that equilibrium would require the planet to remain "uncomfortably" cold to suppress photosynthesis.

Of course, that's a completely different argument from the one the researchers had.

Well, personally my guess is that it's actually a legitimate user since the username is based on their real name, and they've linked to their Twitter account in the past. It'd be pretty silly to sell an account so closely linked to your identity. Unless it was hacked and sold without the user's knowledge I guess.
Really most conspiracies come out of official stories that are incomplete. People want to complete them and tie together all the loose ends. Sometimes it is just fluxes and highly unlikely events. Sometimes it is because part of the true story is classified and can't be widely discussed. Very rarely is it where the conspiracy goes. Which often rely on large and exceptionally organized groups/individuals that keep a story together (which in reality never happens, because there are leaks everywhere). And frequently those colluding individuals are all morally corrupt. Which I find interesting too, because even corrupt people have morals (which is why we have whistleblowers).

What I do find interesting is Flat Earth Theory. Because it is the only conspiracy theory I'm aware of that there isn't clearly someone gaining power. Like sure, they claim NASA is winning, but it isn't clear what they are gaining from it.

In the first example, the idea is that the primary function of blinkers is to convey information. The law makes it mandatory to transmit that information with presumption that the information will be processed by human beings you are sharing the road with. If there are no humans around, the transmission of this information is meaningless and therefore should not be mandatory. If the road is used by autonomous vehicles which transmit information about their paths via radiowaves, signalling could be obsolete as well. The most important part in law is the underlying idea of the social agreement which is being enforced by it and reasonabless of the law (and enforcement).

My point is that by automating fine dispensaries, you are subversing the underlying idea itself (automatron can't know what or why is it enforcing) and reasonability.

Not really. Thats if the developers code it so that if you get a low score -> trigger images captcha (recaptcha v2)

Recatpcha v3 by itself NEVER shows anything to the user and its entirely up the application itself on how to deal with users who are likely to be bots (which also includes users with anti-fingerprinting measures)
"you're externalizing the societal cost of pollution to that country (and if it gets into the oceans, to everyone). In other words, you're not paying the true cost of that item"

It's not the responsibility of buyers a long way down the value chain and 1/2 way across the world to manage the social policies of other nations.

Do you want colonialism? Or not?

The 'pollution' is 100% the fault of the people doing it.

Also, I don't see why the manufacturing/creating process should be necessarily considerably more 'plastic waste intensive' than the end product itself - in fact, this would be economically wasteful and more expensive possibly.

So ... we could start putting big tarriffs on importers with bad environmental practice and human rights laws ...

I've been doing this since ages, so these's a lot of intuition going on, and I've a quite significant list of sketches at this point, so I personally start with a lot of convenient tools already.

To learn about the different techniques and mostly to get to know the basics I cannot recommend enough the amazing Daniel Shiffman ( https://twitter.com/shiffman/ ) and his awesome "The Coding Train" video series on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/shiffman

I usually do not release the code for my dailies, but I'm getting a few of them ready to include as examples for nannou, there's a PR with one example already up. I'm also always open to talk about the "how" I did something and to give you a pseudo-code version of what I'm using.
I've got a lot of rare stuff downloaded from Soulseek back in the day that I expect I'll never be able to find again.

You wouldn't even know it's a concert bootleg without the audience applauding at the end.

Despite this being an obvious honeypot to out the old people on HN, I'll bite. There's not much to miss about development
practices of yore, except for the way better emphasis on documentation. I find most software developers today can't write
worth a damn in their development practice. Requirements, specs, code comments, end user documentation, you name it. Really terrible bar. Perversely enough though, software developers today who blog can write amazing documentation on how to code. Go figure.
OTOH, to view development in the 70's to the 00's from an emotional lens, what I miss the most was really living through the hockey
stick of Moore's law. Everything was new and exciting until it got replaced 18 months later with a newer and more exciting
thing. And back then, you were a sucker to bet against Moore's law. All it took to get a front row seat to this action was to code.

If that is the case then again, the issue is on the receiving nation.

Richer nations are not externalizing their garbage, they're literally paying for it. If the receivers are not doing their job and putting it in the Earth, then that's not just some industrial by-product problem, it's point blank corruption.

Also, if it's consumer items in the Ocean, then the issue will be about where most consumers are, and how much they pollute, given that the issue might be Asia.

But the West obviously has enough of it's problems so it's not like anyone can point fingers really.

You could ctrl-u any web page, understand it, and do all the cool things you actually cared about yourself.

The web peaked before javascript f*cked it up completely.

Nobody played Matryoshka doll's with VM's and Containers, they did real work that mattered instead.

HTML and CSS standards and browser support for the standards were evolving semi-sensibly before M$ strangled it and the javascript "html5" spat on the grave.

Scheme/Lispy Lambda's just worked decades before these halfarsed modern languages came up with dozens of borked half- baked versions of it.

GUI's were an almighty colossal pain in the proverbial to write, so almost nobody did that and as a result were about 20 times more productive than they are today.

Threading implementations were borked, so nobody did that. They used processes and everything was much better. If you have any sense you will _still_ be using processes and not threads and your life still will be much better.

An, oh yes, pen plotters were fun to watch. Laser printers are absolutely wonderful.... but it's like the difference between a wood fire and panel heater... Which would you rather sit with a whisky in hand and just watch?

I was under the impression that Linguistic Relativity (or Sapir-Whorf) as in "the structure of a language affects its speakers' world view or cognition." was well recognized. I would think programmers would be particularly fond of this idea, because I for one tend to go about problems differently when I write in different languages (also a technique I use when I'm stuck on a problem).
It relates because you said this distinguishes Charlie Hebdo from killing Muslims burning a flag. If they all have negative sentiment, and they all commit hate crime unprovoked, or provoked by disrespect to culture and icons, then the problem is not unique to one of them.

There are non-Muslim states that will execute people for disrespectful depictions, so I can't see how this is a uniquely Muslim problem.

To be clear, I don’t have a horse in this particular race. I’m neither condemning nor condoning the market dynamics of sneaker arbitrage here. It’s just an example I’m very familiar with because I used to write scrapers and I’ve been offered silly amounts of money to make them for sneaker trading groups. Not as much as hedge funds will pay for writing crawlers for market research, but still more than you’d probably expect just so they can flip Supreme shirts and Yeezys faster than competitors. It’s ridiculous, but this is the world we live in. The point is simply that when the stakes are high (particularly when there is money to be made), stopping adversaries will be really, really difficult.

Back to the point at hand, I don’t like recaptcha in principle. But given my view from both sides of the table, it’s one of very few things that consistently works for sophisticated adversaries. It’s about as close to a silver bullet as they come, with the additional upside that it’s the absolute easiest thing to implement - in both an absolute sense and relative to the return. And once you have, most of what you can implement beyond recaptcha has diminishing returns in comparison.

All of that being said, I would be inclined to agree that most websites and apps don’t need recaptcha, simply because most of them aren’t worthwhile targets for the types of attacks recaptcha is singularly effective against.
I think it is supposed to mean member, but i don’t remember, common enough practice though

You don't sound like you really want to be a part of these companies your preparing to interview at by saying "Heck I didn't even apply for these jobs.". And you seem to be having trouble finding a good reason to really go to the interview. The more I read your post; the more I feel that you don't want to feel stupid or inadequate based on the interview. Everyone doesn't want to feel stupid or inadequate, this is normal. Also you've put the interviews on a pedestal that'll declare you as good enough by discounting your experience and achievements thus far.

If you feel this wound up before the interview how do you think you'll feel working for these two companies? It'll be a daily anxiety/fear of being inadequate for the job.

My advice is to lower your expectation/valuation of the interviewing company and go to the interview if you really deep down inside want to. These kinds of interviews have a history of making interviewees feel worse about themselves so bear that in mind.

I often wonder how this would map to other languages (as C++ often entails complexity and clever work arounds such as this article).

In Java or C# (and of course in C++), you could have a token system where the token can only be provided by Device :

VFS:
void register(DeviceToken):

DeviceToken: empty interface (marker)

Device:
private DeviceToken provideDeviceToken();

This hides both VFS and Device classes from accessing each others' private members.

You can also constrain how gets to provide DeviceToken by adding sufficient comments in code.
I think that's a bit of a reach.

That's all client/requester side, which has been implemented on third party sites/services. There'd be a lot of questions raised if suddenly it required that you use a different technique.

A more subtle and (IMO) more realistic variant would be to backdoor the javascript to capture all input on that site instead.

But you have to ask yourself - who would be the government target, in that case?

They'd have to:

- Have a technically sophisticated target where the government doesn't know their password, and is unable to otherwise break their security (eg forcing Google/Apple/Microsoft/etc to do the work, cloning devices, regular surveilance)
- Have that same target also regularly test their passwords against a password strength meter on the public webpage.
- Be willing to risk a public leak that this was happening.

I don't think that anyone who meets the first point would be stupid enough to meet the second. I mean, sure, people make plenty of dumb mistakes - but surely not that one, repeatedly.
In a civilized world those companies should be doomed by labor laws and regulation dodging anyways.
