Plot twist: the publisher is selling the counterfeits too. Why sell one good book when you can sell one bad one through Amazon and _then_ one good one directly from your site?

Ok, probably not, but if we're talking about the dystopian end state of a system where the middlemen have gotten out of control then maybe we should look out for things like that.

In _Anathem_ (a sci-fi novel) Stephenson describes a future where for every authentic version of a document on the net there are millions of fake ones--bogons, they call them. The history of how the bogons (and the defence system that successfully ignores them most of the time) is somewhat left to the imagination, but I imagined it like this:

- Content creators set up special channels where they can get paid for access to the content.

- Parasites infiltrate the channels and resell access the content, undercutting the Creators.

- The Creators ban the Parasites from the channels, so they can't make copies of the content.

- The Parasites re-infiltrate without much delay.

- The Creators stop banning the Parasites, and instead--after identifying them--serve them slightly degraded content, so rather than having to compete with themselves, the Creators now compete with a slightly shittier version of themselves. They hope the Parasites don't notice the content degradation.

- The Parasites notice the degradation and get new identities, and continue reselling the original content.

- There arms race between these parties produces better and better fakes, to the point where there's so much fake news (or whatever content) that the only way to verify its authenticity is to re-do the journalism yourself to see what you find.

In my version, the Creators win by establishing an economy of trust (part PGP, part cryptocurrency) where being a parasite is less profitable than either making good content or helping distribute good content (in a way that benefits the creator and gives the consumer reason to believe that they're not being lied to).

I'm not sure if I think this will actually happen, but if it does then we'll have to go through the pre-web-of-trust darkness (where the light of truth is occluded by bogons) before things are reliably authentic again.
Most of the things, good and bad, are corporation related.. more so than ever. The example isn't clean though. There have been plenty of examples of corporate money creation, many also with disastrous results. Hyperinflation has been a problem for both. Recently though, inflation control is something central banks have done reasonably well, at least relative to those narrow goals.

In any case, that's neither here nor there. There are things which are neither governments corporations. These days, those two aren't always all that different

The problem with coursera and udemy is that they lock you into their platform and limit you in terms of what you can do. When you build the product with its own website, you can basically do whatever you want in terms of innovation.
The 'arguing grades up' I always saw students doing seemed weird to me. But I was paying for school and ultimately just paying for a job-entry ticket so maybe I wasn't in the right mindset.
In practice - aside from instant answer functions, the amount from which Bing results and DDG vary, is so infinitely small as to be hardly noticeable.

You should get a check too. Everyone who paid student loans in the last ~20 years should get some amount of money. We could afford it for less than DOD accounting fraud.
ICLR Reproducibility Interview #3: Alfredo and Robert
I think its interesting to apply the sentiment to other things.

Would a state funded levee system be a "fuck you" to people who lost homes in the flood that prompted them? It's being paid from their taxes, after all.

Is the chicken pox vaccine a "fuck you" to people who had it when they were young before it was available?

Are surgery advances a "fuck you" to people who previously got an amputation?

Was the introduction of the GI Bill a "fuck you" to everyone who served in the armed forces being it? After all, veterans pay taxes.
Certainly, but why would you jump to "take from; give to" rather than reforming a system of universities that vastly overcharges for an education - that at best is half-wasted on classes that are forgotten and unnecessary to a major? Would it not be a better use of taxpayer money, time, and policy to reform the university system, the loan system, rather than taking from one and giving to ...yourself? You're not a bank robber are you?!

In my experience, the folks who have tens of millions of dollars in farmland are not concerned about the inheritance tax. They're incorporated in some fashion.

In my area, it is legitimately the folks who own 50-60 acres of ground that is worth $3000-5000/acre who are most concerned and vote on that issue.
In China:
1. Most people do NOT use email. They prefer to call or use Wechat.
2. In China, institutions such as Lost&Found usually expect those who lost their stuffs to come or simply call them rather than contacting them via email because most people in China do NOT use email.

This ‘objective’ method really makes me laugh.
You're allowing perfect to become the enemy of good. People who buy luxury cars are not going to stop buying luxury cars. So the options are luxury cars that pollute the environment, or luxury cars that do not pollute as much.

"The real green decision" is whatever is more environmentally-friendly than what you would have done otherwise.
You're right about `--stream`, but you didn't need the variable assignment. Also, `-c`, besides the fact that it's not available in jq-1.5 which some people are using, is very pointless in this situation, since we're looking to output text, and `-c` is for outputting objects/arrays in a compact format. The fact that `-r` wasn't used causes jq to output the text encoded as json strings. So, instead of outputting:

.movie.name = "Interstellar"
.movie.year = 2014
.movie.is_released = true
.movie.else = "Christopher Nolan"
.movie.cast[0] = "Matthew McConaughey"
.movie.cast[1] = "Anne Hathaway"
.movie.cast[2] = "Jessica Chastain"
.movie.cast[3] = "Bill Irwin"
.movie.cast[4] = "Ellen \\\\ Burstyn"
.movie.cast[5] = "Michael Caine"

You're outputting:

".movie.name = Interstellar"
".movie.year = 2014"
".movie.is_released = true"
".movie.else = Christopher Nolan"
".movie.cast[0] = Matthew McConaughey"
".movie.cast[1] = Anne Hathaway"
".movie.cast[2] = Jessica Chastain"
".movie.cast[3] = Bill Irwin"
".movie.cast[4] = Ellen \\\\ Burstyn"
".movie.cast[5] = Michael Caine"

Another point is how the strings at the right of the `=` are displayed. They should be quoted. The reason why they're not is because you piped the second element to `tostring` instead of `@json`.

A better version of your suggestion would've been:

jq -r --stream '
select(length > 1)
| (
.[0] | map(
if type == "number"
then "[" + tostring + "]"
else "." + .
end
) | add
) + " = " + (.[1] | @json)
'

The use of `length > 1` instead of `length == 2` is a minor point, but if a future version jq decides to sometimes put 3 elements in these arrays, your filter would ignore those when we're likely to also want those. `length > 1` ensures what we need, that there are at least the elements that we're going to be using, while `length == 2` might filter some of those out, even if it's not right now.

Your use of `add` is neat, though. I wouldn't have thought of that.
Anecdata. I personally know a person mid-30s that truly thinks life is exactly what you can see in the series Friends [0]. With almost all the unrealistic expectations promoted by scenes in that series. And that person sees any deviation from that as a failure in life.

And to be clear, we're talking about an educated person with a relatively successful life. But the expectation that real life follows "Hollywood" is still there. I started to doubt that everybody is able to draw a clear line between reality and fiction as long as they bask in that fiction for too long or at key moments in life.

The good-looking CRT filters take some serious hardware to run well, too. The cheap options like the "scanlines" mode on the NES Classic so little resemble the real thing that I'm not sure why they bother. Maybe people who didn't grow up with CRTs think that's a retro look?
It may look similar at a glance, but they're quite a ways behind in practice.

Tesla has over 1500 charger stations (and 13,000 stalls) in north america right now, Electrify america is planning 500 stations (2,000 stalls) by the end of 2019.

If you take a look at tesla's map they not only have significantly more coverage, but they have a lot more density around cities where from what I can see EA has just a couple stations. Not to mention that EA seems to only have a few stalls at each location, compared to 6+ in most places for the tesla superchargers that i've personally seen.

I'm all for more chargers, and I'm excited that EA is happening, but Tesla is pretty much unparalleled right now when it comes to charging infrastructure, by quite a large margin.

https://www.tesla.com/supercharger
That almost seems like the exception that proves the rule. For Ionity, they have what looks to be a few dozen chargers installed in Europe, a few dozen more under construction, but nothing in the Americas, China, or elsewhere.

The home charging units are nice, but not, I think, what people usually mean when they are discussing charging infrastructure. What people typically mean in that context is "chargers I can use when I am traveling." In that context, GPs "they won't invest a dime" statement is understandable in its sentiment, even if not entirely true. Auto manufacturers do not seem to be taking charging infrastructure needs seriously. Although it is good that this seems to be changing, it's not happening quickly enough.

If anything, the lack of progress on this front is further evidence that the traditional auto companies do not take EVs seriously, and have no intentions of doing so.
>> and you might get some health benefits.

That depends. There are streets in the UK so polluted that jogging on them, breathing in lots more bad air, is actually worse for you than not jogging. Similarly, the violent accident rate for bicycle commuters is scary. I don't know of any regular commuter who hasn't been to hospital at least once.

I respect your comment, and your viewpoint. But I often hear versions of this: "I had it hard, so we shouldn't let these soft youngsters get off any easier."

I'm not saying you don't have a point (college education has a cost), but on some level it's really just an argument for never making anything better.

I prefer to think, "Are we really so backwards and impoverished as a society that we don't even have the resources to educate our citizens?"

I bought an NVidia Jetson Nano 4GB memory- because I liked the Raspberry Pi so much, but the Pi 3 does not really work as a development machine. The Nano does really pretty well with the addition of a fan, swap space, a good power supply (adafruit). The BIG problem with the Nano is that it is arm64 and the availability of the Arm64 linux things (like Docker images) is limited.

I ordered a 4GB Pi4 which seems to have advantages, and I assume the availability of Arm64 images will sky rocket?
> I think the Haskell people saying the tools are good (like me!) are just using a very different criteria of "good" than you (and most data scientists!).

Exactly, which is why Haskellers should listen to and respond to feedback rather than asserting it is the feedback-giver that is wrong.

> For me a "good tool" is robust, reliable, and easy to fix. For most of the data scientists I know, a "good tool" is one where "a single easy to remember command magically does the thing I want in one go".

I don't agree with this statement and I think demonstrates some of why Haskellers are kind of frustrating. Most data scientist (and most people in general) want to focus on solving the problem they're tasked with, not elegantly and efficiently positioning themselves to be able to do so. Jupyter and Numpy/Pandas are great because they allow the user to focus exclusively on solving their problem, not on language or framework-level concerns. This is not "a magic command that does the thing I want in one go." It is the separating the needs of the hammer maker from the needs of the carpenter.

"Nobody has anything..." is plainly not true. Li-ion battery used in most e-cars is so easy to dismantle to individual cells which can be easily resold, that it actually incentivizes theft. Legal refurbishment is equally easy plus there is huge demand for electricity storage which will keep for decades siphoning off any refurbished cells not suitable for vehicle use.

Battery recycling and reprocessing is already mandatory in many countries, to avoid contamination by landfill leaks. It is just question of scale.

We are an all or nothing sort. If we use statefulness and sticky sessions we almost always tend to use it in a way where migration to another server is next to impossible.

If we had better tools for the moderate position then life would probably be easier than at the extremes.

While the idea of migration is useful for resilience in the face of hardware failure, it’s more attractive from a standpoint of elastic scalability.

But.

We are still living in a bubble where we believe that cloud providers aren’t going to oversubscribe their hardware the way ISPs have been doing for decades. As the ratio of private server rooms declines, that bubble starts to wear thin.
I think it's irrelevant. In fact the protobuf might be the best choice. If it was just defined as so:

bytes key = 1;
bytes value = 2;

... your overhead can be as little as 4 bytes and you can alias the memory of the key and value (using a type like std::string_view) instead of copying it. It takes a few nanoseconds to decode a message like this.

>The stress in the US system is very different. Indian schools (basically the oldschool british system I grew up with in boarding school) are hard but not stressful. Performance metrics are clear and students know what they have to do. US schools have become strange minefields of nebulous collage prep. Grades are given, everyone gets As.

Can you please point out the schools giving away A’s? My high school and the colleges I attended were certainly not that way. Not even remotely. I’m going to get a masters soon and I want to go to this type of school.
I've seen CRUD reinvented about 20 different ways, and I'm sure more are still out there. The industry throws things out and starts over, often due to "fashion", NOT logic. It's more work to create the same CRUD app now than it was 20 years ago. We are devolving because the industry chases fads instead of productivity. (There are exceptions, but it requires more things to go right, including managers who know when to say "no".)

We still do our work on 99% desktops at my org, yet the UI's are using frameworks optimized for tablets, which wastes a lot of screen real-estate, making the UI tedious. Fear of Being Left Behind (FBLB) gave everybody Tablet Fever. We hit the wrong target, and are doing it again with microservices. I warned the architect they are not a good fit for our org, but he has FBLB and dismisses me as an ol' fuddy-duddy.

If you make IT like the music and clothing business, then it's a fashion chase, and usually the fashion business doesn't want older people also.

If the industry randomly changes like a genetic algorithm of techniques, older people will on average not be able to keep up. Older brains are just not as good at that, on average. Instead, if tools and techniques are tuned and perfected based on incremental lessons of the past and present, then EVERYONE will be more productive. Repeated throwing-out-and-starting-over is expensive.

All of it is extremely interesting to me as a RE Investor. You hit the nail on the head. We are putting a product out there that would have never existed in the first place.

Here is where the article misses: No matter what, your numbers have to be right. I'm a firm believer in the invisible hand. If, as an Investor, you set your market rent too high - you may never find tenants. That's just one example.

Investors aren't the problem. Wholesalers (part of the group of Aggressive marketers) play a role in driving up prices taking aggressive finders fees (called Assignment Fees) for finding the properties for investors. Thing is, if they price their assignment fee too high, they may never find an Investor (flipper) to assign their contract to. Once again, market dictates it. If there is no meat left on the bone for the flipper to create their end product (based on current Retail comps) then they'll get stuck with the contract and a large majority can't close the deal on their own. Just join a wholesaler group on Facebook and you'll see the amount of inexperienced people trying to make a buck.
