But Apple needs Netflix far more than Apple needs whatever you think it would gain by losing Netflix.
That’s awfully simplistic. Having spent most of today day wrestling with permutations of the various radiometric flux and power formulas. It’s pretty clear that depending on what you count as the “edge” you can get some very disingenuous results when it comes to anything related to the sun’s density. What’s the math behind the compost heap estimate there?

(Genuinely curious since I’ve spent the day doing math adjacent to this one)

It's not victimless, the loser is the service provider whose bandwidth is consumed. The line many draw is that corporations aren't people and can't be the victim, this is a false analogy.

Thus: let's switch who is penalized: everyone else on the flight. Bandwidth isn't unlimited, without payment it's hard to justify increasing bandwidth if it isn't profitable.

What should the author do? Report it. If he didn't, maybe you can submit it to the company. If they have a bug bounty, you may get paid (if this happens: would you give the money to the original author?)

If you run a company: you should determine how to insensitivise reporting, it's possible in this case: not fixing it spreads awareness, most people can't/don't exploit it.

The same newpapers that declare "Having a bacon sandwich could lead to bum cancer!!!!" Are also the ones most enamoured with Farage. So the readership is supposed to be disenfranchised over how they're lied to over the cancer scare stories but then believe the stories about how wonderful Farage is?

That said, I don't think I disagree with your greater point.
All of this really depends on the scale of the landlord.

There are many retiree types that are renting out their in-law suite or have an extra rental property and definitely cannot afford bad tenant behavior.

They are probably in a worse negotiation position compared to a squatting bad tenant in those cases and very much care about their neighborhood, probably more than the renter.

---

OTOH, rent control doesn't matter too much if the max percentage cap is high enough and tenants can't squat in eviction court for months as they destroy the old person's inlaw suite and their home.
Not to diminish Wittgenstein’s influence, quite the contrary, but I for one first heard about the idea of a “private language” while reading the works of Wilhelm von Humboldt [1], written around the 1830s (so about a century before Wittgenstein). I remember Humboldt saying something along the lines of “at the limit, we each speak our own, private language”. I read his work in translation, as I don’t speak German, so I cannot tell how much of a direct overlap there is between von Humboldt and Wittgenstein in terms of the nomenclature they were both using.

Regardless of the criminality a real world analog would be more akin to someone taking a chair in a starbucks without paying - maybe there's room, and maybe it doesnt burden them unduly - but the company definitely pays a cost for each table aggregated across its customers.
He really did that? Jeez, you're right. Still, such attacks have doubtless been used before. Even if they haven't broken the core protocol, I'd assume they've got a few zero-days sitting around.
Are You Too Smart to Think Wisely?
Exactly. Capitalists who don't want collective bargaining probably shouldn't motivate people to see their strength in numbers.

I don't see any mystery in why employees would band together in situations like these. They'd be fools not to.

Kubernetes: The retro-style, Wild West video game
Fascinating how the quasi-biography of Alan Lomax doesn't even mention his father: John Lomax, one of the original "folk song collectors" who traveled throughout the US in the 20s and 30s, transcribing and recording music from isolated rural communities.

In my view, John Lomax's project is more interesting: these old American folk songs provide a geneology of American myth, which is something with cultural import today. Ethnomusicology is fascinating from an abstract perspective (and interesting how they were mostly Jews, makes me more sympathetic as I am myself), but seems a little too distant, trying to solve a problem that might be a little too big...
> Suggest to an American to fly less and over 99% will say, "But my job. . ." as humans fly more than ever.

I see it as the reason why individual solutions will never work and why you need the government to step in to make sure those negatives externalities (aka killing the planet for our children) are properly priced in so that we subset those practices.
Many employees are evaluated by "scan to scan," which is a literal count of the rate at which they physically scan ASINs and bin codes in sequence, so any activity other than that (including bathroom breaks) counts as a penalty against their rate.

Of course they also have multiple quotas for items per hour, based on item size and expected daily volume, etc.
Perhaps there is a difference. Why is it worth looking into?

Why do you use a loaded word like "promiscuous" instead of plain "sexually active"?
When I first read about Wittgenstein in some junior encyclopedia, it said that he discovered that many problems in philosophy were meaningless because words might mean different things. I imagined he was talking about words like "socialism" or "equality" -- words that are obviously slippery. But it turns out that words like "is" and "have" cause just as much trouble.

Wittgenstein is famously hard to read. I have the book (translated by a group including the author of this article) with side-side German-English text, the better to puzzle over his more inscrutable pronouncements. But this article is worth your time.
Most credit card companies also get paid a lot of money in interest, it’s not like they rely solely on interchange fees for rewards programs.

You're comparing someone who was caught with cocaine in his apartment with someone who wasn't even in the flight where cocaine was found.
We do know that the US government used a Flash applet to deanonymise a lot of Tor Browser users. It was revealed in some lawsuit I think.
It would be bad for those poor renters who already had apartment. But good for those poor renters who are just entering the market and looking for a home.
The political opposition was not democratically elected. They were elected by the rules--well, modulo foreign interference by their handlers--but that doesn't make it democratic and doesn't make it right and only serves to underline the stranglehold a vocally threatening minority holds on the system.

This is a recurring theme for the right wing in America. There's little reason to respect or trust their good intentions; fascists are an autoimmune disease of liberalism and they are demonstrating nearly every symptom.
Yes, I understand that, but i still think it's misleading. Even in Julia, we're still recording operations, just
a) at a much coarser granularity (if there's no control flow in the middle we can record it as one operation)
b) in the type of the tape data structure rather than explicitly

For example, one could imagine applying common subexpression compression to a tracer tape, and would get essentially the same thing.

Other places to stores this information are the stack of a closure chain, but it's still fundamentally the same information.

If they have full sql read write access on the server, it’s way easier to make a copy of the db, encrypt it, then blow away the original db in one go.
I was referring to detecting and distinguishing signals when someone is simply thinking of the word yes or no, similar to what you would expect from telepathy. But like I said in my previous comment, it’s an important step nonetheless for many reasons.
This is a silly conspiracy. The facts about the initial funding of research on Tor have always been public and well-known, and the conspiracy is based on the idea that there was some grand scheme looking forward into the future for more than 16 years. It's much more likely that some researchers at some government agency implemented the known idea of onion routing in a proof of concept, their work was more successful than anticipated, and later some other researchers at some other government agency were told to try to de-anonymize their colleagues' invention again.

However, I'd be more weary about more recent projects. A lot has happened during the past two decades in cryptography and privacy, and I do think it's credible that all kinds of agencies from all over the world nowadays have the task of subverting privacy projects right from the start. But back in the 90s? Unlikely.
Apple does not require that subscription fees be paid through in app purchases.

You have always been able to collect subscription fees on your own website and distribute your app for free.

>TechCrunch learned this week that Netflix is testing a payment method that bypasses iTunes in 33 countries. Until Sept. 30, new or lapsed users in select European, Latin American and Asian markets will be unable to pay using iTunes. Instead -- like with Spotify -- they will be redirected to Netflix's website to enter payment details directly with the video streaming service. In May, Netflix made a similar move prohibiting new subscribers from paying via Google Play.

There are not 800 acres of "private" golf courses in SF. Most of those golf courses are on public land in public parks. Do you also propose SF tear down Golden Gate Park and replace that with housing?
This is a business and satellite bandwidth is fairly precious.

A better analogy would be going into a restaurant with big “No Outside Food” signs with a sandwich you made at home, hiding the sandwich in a false compartment to get past a check at the door, printing the restaurant’s name on your sandwich wrapper so it looks like you bought it there, and then eating it at a table meant for paying customers.

You can thank inflation, the government's biggest hidden tax. And of course, it hurts the poor the most, those without the financial know-how to invest, buy CDs, T-Bills, etc. Yet there are still no moves to stop inflation. Why? Because it's good for business. Cheaper money.
Vitess is far too complex to run imo unless you want to become a vitess-admin. We tried it for good 6-weeks to get a working PoC and moved to CRDB and had one working in hours.

I went to school in Maine; I have a feeling that you and I had a very similar experience.

I think the good faith available has rather remarkably drained out of even that, today.
I am curious if that is something that is taught at law school or just something that is picked up over time (like anything else related or unrelated to a person's career)? [1]

In my experience being good friends with people =/= accepting and applying their life advice. I have plenty of people I consider good friends who do almost nothing to further my career goals but are worth so much to me in terms of emotional support, companionship, and sharing in common interests.

Regarding the Google/Facebook group of potential friends: I would describe most people there as hardworking, diligent, and smart - all wonderful traits to look for in friends even if your end goals aren't necessarily aligned. And given the nature of the companies they're working for - there's plenty of value in hearing their perspective of how things operate from the inside of these companies in addition to the potential networking/social connection opportunities.

My advice (for whatever it's worth) would be to focus on finding a few people you could consider mentors or advisors - preferably people that have founded or are in the process of founding companies and look to them for advice on your particular path and situations. You're right that you likely won't find these people at school; I'd say the a better bet would be something like AngelList, Twitter, in-person events, or even cold-emailing those who you think you can provide some value to (this is important).

Best of luck on your adventure!
Is it though? The adblocker runs locally on your own computer; it certainly prevents the ads from doing what the designer intended, but it doesn't make the designer's computer (or any computer controlled by the ad network) do anything.

Versus tracking does actually do something on your computer (e.g. running JS to discover fonts). Arguably that is a circumvention of the intentions of the user on their own hardware.

> Based on rule it should be 10k to make it interesting for the investors (buy and rent to make some profit). The only reason I didn’t sell it is the hope that prices will go up in x years, but right now I technically subsidizing people living there + waiting on possible rent increase in couple years.

Maybe the market is telling you that SF house prices are wildly overvalued. Maybe the best move is not to wait for ever higher prices, but sell now.

People seem to be programmed to buy high and sell low, making the old truism to do the opposite very difficult in practice. Your description isn't uncommon, but is very characteristic of the physiology of a top.
Well, Aristotle showed this very thing when talking about “being”, “cause”, “effect”, etc.

Is is a shame that Greek philosophers are thought of as “old” when analytic philosophy is more or less what Aristotle did (when doing philosophy).
I'd argue that a wax seal was more a crypto signature (md5, sha, etc) than it was a cipher of the text enclosed.

Of course, reading by breaking means armed thugs killed you. But we'll leave that analogy aside!
I get that people do this and the mental path that leads there. I don’t get people who are self aware of doing it and still complain. If you’d be comfortable randomly watching garbage so long as you don’t expend effort to choose it, then pick randomly. Alternatively if there’s nothing on it you want to watch, don’t watch it.

I think this comes across as condescending but I really don’t get it.
No amount of education is going to save you if the truth isn't viable. The truth isn't "climate change exists". The truth is "climate change exists and you are going to pay for it". And there isn't much of an alternative to that. I don't like populism either, but what alternative do you have? If the way to promise development is by cutting down the Amazon, that is what is going to happen unless there is a viable alternative.
Companies are not technically human but they are made up of humans.They are an organized units of humans. Just like a government or a family each with different internal rules, structure and external expectations. Of course they can be held to moral rules. They may be bound to their shareholders to make a profit but it is not without boundaries which is what morality is, a guide or brake on how to achieve ones desires and goals. Having said that pricing is not a moral issue in 99% of cases particularly in a mostly free market where there is price and quality information available. If you don't like the price don't buy it, buy it from somewhere else, or it probably reflects the supply/demand. A pricing mistake by its nature is a defect in the free market, is not legally required to be honored, and theoretically should not be honored as it skews price equilibrium. Amazon is honoring it here here and in a case like the mms for marketing purposes.

In previous research, I haven’t been able to find an economist that supports rent control. Does anyone have examples?
Amazon Warehouse jobs have been well above minimum wage for quite some time. They are difficult, but warehouse jobs are not easy. I feel like there is a generational gap where people are expecting a comfortable office job.

It's hardly slavery. It's a choice. You an always go somewhere else to work. Amazon doesn't have a monopoly on low-skilled labor jobs.

I've known plenty of people that have worked in an Amazon Warehouse (in different states/locations) and they don't have to piss in bottles.
Reminds me a of a 2600Hz article from the 90s.
Out of curiosity, have you ever owned a building? I might suggest that your opinions might change once you have. Owning rental property isn’t a tidy math problem.

Newer buildings have more predictable costs, definitely not older buildings. It’s pretty much the opposite of what you said in the real world. Newer buildings can lease to higher quality tenants at higher rates with lower eviction/non-payment/damage risk. Older buildings can run the gamut. You can have an older building filled with stable senior citizens that runs perfectly for decades or you can have an older building filled with tenants who constantly break things, are late on rent, run meth labs, or simply trash a place and vacate in the middle of the night. You might have to evict someone and the process could take a year. Air conditioners fail randomly and expensively. Roof leaks develop and tenants might not even report it for months (yes, that sort of thing happens all the time. As a building gets older, the risks increase, but the rent you can charge decreases compared to a new building.

My suggestion is to actually ask people who have owned building exactly why they oppose rent control so fiercely and the answers aren’t going to be about greed but about increased financial risk.
> those taxes are factors into accommodation prices

Citation needed. Accommodation pricing is typically set by supply and demand. Which is why, last minute hotel deals at steep discounts are a thing.

> Tourists pay real property taxes

Then states/counties should be recovering delinquent property taxes from them
I think vacancy rates in some metropolitan areas increased primarily due to rent control, rent stabilization, tenant rights or the risk of future legislation.

If you can't raise rents, you'd be less likely to react to lower market rents. So prices stay sticky on the way down. Even if the laws are not in place now, there is a risk of them being in place in the near future and you'll be stuck at below market rents.

Also if you can't remove tenants then you'd be more selective and naturally that would increase vacancy rates.

A high vacancy rate doesn't prove that its not expensive to fill a rental. In fact higher vacancy rates means losing a tenant is even greater than if there were low vacancy rates. That means that an empty apartment is going to stay on the market even longer. And most landlords have some debt arrangement, are paying interest, taxes and insurance in addition to forgoing rental income.

The reddit AMA author seems to have worked at a ‘traditional’ FC where there are miles of bookshelf or pallet style storage. In this layout it is difficult to place optimized restrooms as one pick worker may cover half of a million sqft building in a shift.

Newer, robotized FCs have much more tightly packed, human-inaccessible storage zones and have restrooms a reasonable distance from static pick workstations.
Well I feel much more worried about being a pedestrian in the suburbs than in a city. Drivers seem to forget people and bikes exist unless they’re constantly reminded of their presence.
There is still actual old school slavery around. Mostly in the third world: https://www.antislavery.org/slavery-today/modern-slavery/

What to call it when US Ivy League graduates are shocked to discover that they share a country with blue collar workers, I don't know...
It seems that the US union law favors so called enterprise bargaining or worksite-level bargaining. Companies and workplaces either unionize or not. That kind of system pits unions against companies. If the workplace unionizes, non-unionized companies get an advantage. Whoever fucks their workers hardest gets competitive advantage.

My experience of unions comes as an entrepreneur in countries with sectoral bargaining. Companies representing the whole sector negotiate against unions representing most or all workers in that sector. There may be company level deals also, but they are just a side show dealing with local issues. When the deal is made, everyone is at the same level of pain and gain. If company in retail business must allow their workers to pee, so does their competitor. You don't get competitive advantage if you fuck with your workers.

It's really just matter of arranging incentives.
My guess: probably 5% is cost, staff to review, maintain ecosystem, credit card fees, customer support etc etc.
