Not all subscriptions are frivolous. I use a car subscription for example. As a startup founder I can't afford a car, still want access to one for hiking trips, and my entire monthly subscription fee including insurance is cheaper than renting twice a month from Enterprise and cheaper than renting for 3 days from Zipcar. (Also I don't believe in a long term future of car ownership -- I think one day it will be unnecessary -- just not yet.)
It’s not that simple. I choose to rent even though I have the savings to buy a house because I prefer putting my money in more liquid assets like stocks. People can choose to lease certain categories of assets and “own” others (e.g. public stock).

There are tons of hidden costs with ownership like insurance, property taxes, HOA, repairs/maintenance I don’t have to deal with. Plus the opportunity cost of locking $200k+ in an illiquid asset with high transaction fees to eventually liquidate years later isn’t appealing unless you’re buying a home firstly as a permanent home for raising a family and not as an investment.

Side note: There's a financing-related cost to a 0% car loan. It's whatever the surplus on the insurance that you're required to carry (because you have a loan) over what the true value of that insurance is to you.

I have a 0% loan right now on my LEAF. I'm likely to pay off that loan pretty soon as the value of that insurance (to me) is decreasing as the car ages, but I can't dump it unless the loan is paid off.

Not all subscriptions are frivolous, but some are less essential to fulfilling your everyday life than others. The company you're renting the car from is keenly aware the value of cars may diminish with time-- the risk is built into the cost.

Not without a lot of messing around. With Intel you can pretty much just straight install macOS + Clover + FakeSMC and you're golden. With Ryzen you have to start messing around with custom kernels, which means updates will break things and also means a lot of programs won't work.

Last I checked a lot of progress had been made, but you're unable to run any 32-bit applications and some software such as the Adobe Creative Suite simply won't run.
Well... If FT8 is considered normal these days then 1 watt is maybe 2-5x too high of power if you have a nice antenna and favorable conditions for intercontinental short text messages.

Lotteries are required to publish the odds of matching x out of y numbers. Once the design is fixed, this figure does not change.

The expected dollar value of a winning ticket, on the other hand, changes every week depending on the number of tickets sold that week as well as the amount of any unclaimed jackpot(s) rolled over from previous weeks. I won't be surprised if state lotteries are not legally required to publish these figures every week. Nobody wants to be held responsible for a precise amount published on Tuesday when a snowstorm on Friday causes ticket sales to plummet.

Many states do publish estimates of the jackpot, of course, for advertising purposes. But they're only estimates, and I've never seen estimates of anything other than the jackpot. The Selbees took advantage of smaller winnings that usually go unnoticed.
Ah, good explanation, thanks.
Sure. Even then though, if they ever decide to stop living that way they can pay off their debt without borrowing more, and keep the stuff they bought.

Only a loss compared to the price at the start. If you account for the utility they got from the item and depreciation it's probably just the current market value.
Apple may delete your iTunes metadata
Recently, when opening iTunes after letting my Apple Music subscription lapse, I discovered my entire listening history and ~15 years playlist metadata had been automatically purged by Apple. Upon contacting Support I was informed this was the expected behavior and that my data was likely unrecoverable.

Fortunately I had a backup of the metadata. Do you?
I find this stuff to be utterly overkill unless you are building the next Bloomberg terminal (say) and have completely separate teams. Or you have more than say 100 frontend coders working on the same codebase.

If you think you need micro services you are unlikely to need a micro frontend for another order of magnitude of scale. The people talking about both of these things never seem to point out the downsides and huge delivery overheads to these approaches. Much better to make sure you are doing everything perfectly on a single codebase before you take high risk, difficult to manage decisions because you read how cool it was on Martin Fowler’s blog.

About the leave of Uber. Grab is a terrible app compared to Grab compared to the UI, UX, and overall drivers attitude (personal opinion of course).

However for Indonesia, services like GoJek and Traveloka are picking up. I'm currently in Indonesia and GoJek has grown into a service that you can bail a ride to full market place with payments, vouchers, and rewards integrated into several consumer services such as package delivery, movie ticketing, Massages, make-up services, etc. They continue to offer even more and better services and gained a lot of attention die to Uber's leave.

In Georgia, for example, a relatively unheard of country, has a huge startup boom with many ride sharing apps, mobile money solutions, and the city Batumi is full of online casino kiosks.

It's probably a cold age in information age elsewhere, but certainly not din developing countries.

What would happen to a couple of Muslims burning a US flag in some parts of the US? I won't jump straight to murder, but I'll say physical violence would be highly likely.

This is not whataboutism. I'm not saying it's ok because it happens elsewhere. I'm just arguing against the portrayal of it as a uniquely Muslim problem. I think we would be able to find some icon or symbol in every culture which some subset of people consider murder a valid reaction to disrespect of that symbol.
> The items that are being offered for temporary ownership to this cohort are a far cry from the Rent-A-Centers of the world, which target cash-strapped consumers who often lack access to credit. Fernish, for example, is geared toward young people whose design sense comes straight from Instagram, Pinterest and West Elm’s catalog. The company, founded in 2017, trades in imitation Eames shell chairs, midcentury-style wooden dressers and Art Deco-inspired bar carts, offering brands like Crate & Barrel and more boutique names like Campaign.

So they're basically high end rent-a-centers? Apart from the exact products I'm not really seeing what's new, the business model goes back to at least 1930 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Rentals) and has all the legitimacy of the payday loan industry.

For those interested in the subject, the field that formalises the computation of chemical-reaction-like grammars is called P systems (or Membrane Computing) [1], which are known to be super-Turing devices [2].

Well, given the resistance to accept the practicality of super-Turing devices, a simpler model exists, MP systems [3], with simplified semantics and practical for biological applications.

MP systems are proved to be Turing-equivalent and there is a nice paper [4,5] (shameless promotion) that shows how to convert each type of "chemical reaction equation" into basic, sequential "assembly" (set of instructions for register machines).

In [5], a compiler and a simulator is implemented, but the source code is not yet available (I will eventually do so).

> This is a welcome step. I moved (back) to iPhone recently and one thing I miss from Android is Work Profiles that can be turned on and off and act as pretty much a separated user. It sounds like this is slightly more limited than that, but it’s a good start. At least being able to easily turn work stuff off on the weekend is a huge deal for work life balance (and I feel a bit uncomfortable when my work stuff is effectively not isolated from my personal stuff.)

Did Android do away with work profiles recently? I used to have one and then following an update from the Enterprise, the apps were commingled and there was no way to explicitly "turn off work".

Credit score system the Americans apparently have to "build" isn't used elsewhere, as far as I know. But may countries have so sort of tracking and rating system to evaluate applicants for bank loans and credit cards.

In my country, all negative activities are recorded, and can hinder your ability to obtain a loan or a credit card in the future. Banks and lenders can access this data, but not the landlords and the rest as you'd see in America.
The main problem is that kitchens operate with dirt cheap labor costs. In a market like New York, all those cheap hole in the walls are paying their workers cash under the table and running with razor thin margins.

It’s one thing to target a cushy market like bookstores, but restaurants are cutthroat, and on top of that meal kit customers are fickle.

For you to be able to rent something, someone has to own it. And since that someone will want to make a profit, the rental fee reflects that.

I think a better option is shared ownership, such as several neighbors sharing a lawnmower, or similar things that see regular use, but also have significant idle intervals between uses.

Unfortunately the design patterns we use and the tooling is flawed.
It has been this way for at least 25 years and the RDBMS, languages, design patterns, and architectures ( 2-tier/ 3-tier) are the cause.

They make it simple to get started and even without knowing what you are doing you can easily churn out something that works if it is simple, doesn't change often, doesn't need to scale and deals with small amounts of data.

Yeah it did, and restaurants actually put up stickers for it on their doors!

What you're describing is what Travis Kalanick bought and have been building in LA and San Jose since last year. There are other commissary kitchens that's now doubling as virtual kitchens with half a dozen brands sharing utility, equipment and even staff.

I'll do you even one better, here's the real future in less than three years:

Restaurants will shed front of house as most low end full service will be liability, instead restaurants will consolidate, rely on DSPs (especially GrubHub because unlike the other two chooses to break apart their commission structure), and merge with digital agencies in order to brand, market, create content, and manage communities.
Yup, at some point it just becomes an arms race.

The fundamental imbalance in such an arms race is that the tech giant might have countermeasures that would prevent the SSH alias from working (my team does), but the level of paranoia required to get those countermeasures in place is beyond what a bank could effectively implement. This particular battle disproportionately favors the red team.

And that's not to say that my team has everything covered. The red team consistently manages to find forehead slapping holes in our defenses. There's just too much surface area to cover.

reCAPTCHA is a rate-limiting measure. Google handles all the heavy-lifting and attacker protection for you, and the slow fade you see in the video is that rate-limiting in action. But if you get a clean CAPTCHA result back from them, then that client is very unlikely to be an automated attacker. It's super easy and scales really well.

Conveniently, normal users with typical browser configurations get nothing but the animated checkbox. For nearly everyone, the whole experience is simple and easy. The only people who get inconvenienced are the low-grade privacy enthusiasts who think that preventing tracking is the path to Internet safety. Ironically, "tracking" is literally the mechanism by which legitimate users can be distinguished from attackers, so down that road lies a sort of self-inflicted hell for which the only sensible solution is to stop hitting yourself.

Germany is special in more ways than one, as I understand owning isn't so heavily subsidized vs. renting there compared to other western countries. It's at least far more common to rent in Germany.

We're currently down in the lowest part of the solar cycle (e.g. very few sunspots) which has a great influence on skywave propagation.

When there are a lot of sunspots, you will be able to make contacts in modes like Olivia (and nowadays FT8) but also classic Morse code across continents pretty much every day if you pick the right frequency on the shortwave bands. The throughput is relatively low, but in Amateur Radio the "journey is the reward", so it's more about making contacts, testing what is possible etc. rather than exchanging a lot of information.

With the current low sun activity, the skywave propagation is a lot worse, but even now you will be able to make contacts across continents pretty much every day, especially on the 14 MHz band (20m), even with power as low as 1W and simple antennas (like a full size dipole). The "windows" when propagation between two places on the planet is possible are much shorter though.

You can experience this in real time by observing the beacon transmitters of the NCDXF International Beacon Project, which transmit in fixed timeslots on various frequencies, with beacon locations around the world.

There are web-sdr receivers where you can listen to the shortwave bands in real-time from your browser (http://websdr.org/ for an extensive list) and if you tune one of them to 14100 kHz (CW mode), you will - over the 5 minute cycle that it takes for all beacons to transmit - receive a number of the NCDXF beacons. To identify which one was transmitting without learning Morse code, refer to the chart at https://www.ncdxf.org/beacon/.

The beacons transmit their callsign followed by four long dashes at 100W, 10W, 1W and 100mW transmitter power.

Try this at different times to see how band conditions change; they do a lot over the course of the day!

I could go on and on, shortwave propagation is one of the most fascinating things, isn't it? :-)
Is this really true? I was wondering about complexity analysis, for example.
Actually, you have to replace your heating every 30 years. Unless you are exempt, which is becoming more and more unlikely. See EnEV §10.
Enumerating all solutions and checking will always be the simplest approach for find the set of inputs returning true for a decision problem. However, a constraint solver will not necessarily have to enumerate all solutions.
