It's an especially hard sell for me as, anecdotally, I've had _far_ more issues with Windows 10 than I ever had with 7. Recent one (1903 update) - virtually all text disappeared (desktop icons, menus, Notepad docs all appeared blank, and it made the address bar in Chrome take up about half the screen for some reason). On about 1/10 reboots, it would _eventually_ work if I restarted explorer.exe (text would start appearing in Task Manager, which was my cue to restart explorer). Safe Made, clean installing my graphics divers (assuming it was some sort of rendering bug), and sfc/DISM all failed to fix it. I eventually fixed it by (which was a shot in the dark more than anything):

1. Taking ownership of C:\Windows\Fonts

2. Deleting everything in \Fonts except files that are in use

3. Using sfc /scannow to restore to contents of \Fonts

4. Restoring ownership to Trusted Installer

All in all, not a fun process, and a couple of hours lost. I then wasted another 20 minutes or so as subsequent Windows Updates were failing, so I rebooted a few times to retry and was troubleshooting Windows Update. Apparently it was just installing in the background, but didn't feel like telling me that (it was just saying "Install now", then giving me a generic error code).

Similar issues have happened often enough that I'll delay updates until I know I don't _need_ my machine for at least a day. I never got to that stage with XP/Vista/7.
> If you start building a bunch of houses on your land, you may overload available transportation, utility, and public service capacity.

If you build a bunch of houses then you have a larger customer base and tax base and have the money to provide more services.

The real issue is that if you get a bunch of new lower income residents who consume more in services than they pay in taxes then it raises costs on the existing residents who have to make up the difference. But if that's the concern then better to use flat-rate service fees so that new lower income residents are at least paying for what they consume than to do something even more regressive with zoning by effectively excluding them from the community entirely.
Look at current events and how relationships are assets and liabilities.

No one was upset about a plug in not getting access to your browsing history. People were upset about the declarative ad blocking that took away some of the features that they ad blockers previously had and said Google was doing it to protect their business.

I’m not going to defend Google’s overall business practices, but from what I understand, it’s the same type of architecture that Apple has had for four years and no one said Apple’s intentions were nefarious.
Thank you, now I understand why politicians are always only talking about subsidize housing!

They could get both sides votes, increase the price of houses and claim to do something for affordability without actually attacking the problem of supply and demand.
This makes them look closer to a MLM scheme than a traditional business. Most of the corporate focus is on marketing to "employees" at the bottom who end up getting kind of screwed by the system. The product is entirely secondary.
Seconded. Both of those plugins are excellent for end-user improvements, because they let you simply add code to be run on a given site or set of sites. No nonsense with packaging and building and programming environments; you can just write the code you need in the browser, as you need it.

Pizza delivery is profitable. Pizza comes in a shape easy for transportation, the size and value of the delivery is economical for a delivery business and there's an established culture around ordering pizza for delivery.

no, they're slightly bigger in size, depending on how you measure and not exactly "twice as heavy" but rather 10% - 20% heavier :)

> Sure basic economics tells us that increasing supply ought to drive down prices for everyone, but at the individual level it's tough for people to make the connection.

Basic economics tells us that more supply lowers prices if everything else remains the same. Which it won't if the area becomes more popular.

"The assumption behind a demand curve or a supply curve is that no relevant economic factors, other than the product’s price, are changing. Economists call this assumption ceteris paribus, a Latin phrase meaning 'other things being equal'. If all else is not held equal, then the laws of supply and demand will not necessarily hold."

> Once it is a duplex it is a duplex. You cannot make those assurances for the next homeowner, or the one after that.

I don't think that is true, or at least it doesn't have to be true. First, imagine a world where instead of "you need four parking spots if you want a duplex," the law was more flexible and said something like "the # of cars registered to an address cannot be greater than the # of parking spots at that address." That would solve the problem but also allow the duplex owner to rent to at least some subset of tenants instead of not being able to rent at all. Second, my understanding is older houses are grandfathered in, so if I owned a duplex built 50 years ago that wouldn't pass duplex code today, I would still be able to use it as a duplex without bringing it up to code. That means there are already duplexes with two parking spots that are legal, but I just can't have one if I build it today with more modern, safer building methods. (IANA real estate laywer, but this grandfathering is my understanding of how zoning law works.)

> So a property not designed to hold a large number of people, isn't allowed to hold a large number of people. That seems reasonable. Just from a fire-safety perspective alone it makes a lot of sense to require custom-built commercial facilities after a certain number of kids.

I understand the need for some requirements, like fire safety. That's very important and there are separate rules for that. But California requires something like 35 indoor sq feet per child in a home day care facility. That means you can have 14 kids in a 1,000 square foot home, but can't have 15 kids in a 3,000 square foot home. These laws are very blunt instruments.
Obviously laws will have to be changed to support a cashless economy. You're attacking a strawman by assuming that a cashless economy must exclude people because of contradictory laws like the UK one you mentioned.
From their S-1:

>Driver incentives. Driver incentives refer to payments that we make to Drivers, which are separate from and in addition to the Driver’s portion of the fare paid by the consumer. For example, Driver incentives could include payments we make to Drivers should they choose to take advantage of an incentive offer and complete a consecutive number of trips or a cumulative number of trips on the platform over a defined period of time. Driver incentives are recorded as a reduction of revenue to the extent they are not excess Driver incentives (as defined below).

>Driver referrals. Driver referrals refer to payments that we make to existing Drivers to refer new Drivers onto our platform. Driver referrals are recorded in sales and marketing expenses, as they represent the receipt of a distinct service of customer acquisition for which there is evidence of fair value.

The channel still gets the previous revenue leading up to the demonitization switch, so no, Google doesn't gain anything. In fact, they lose because they're now hosting videos that no longer generate revenue.
>But all of your examples hurt someone else.

In the case of the parking, how is someone else harmed as long as they are aware of the parking before any purchasing/leasing decisions are made? Signing up for any paid service fiscally hurts someone, but the vast majority of people have no problem as long as there is full agreement on the extent of that harm before signup. Only when the harm is hidden in fine print or not disclosed at all is it an issue.

I guess to say it another way: you should be able to do whatever you want to your property if it doesn't really hurt anyone without their consent. As for what constitutes consent, that is an entire planet of canned worms waiting to be opened.

Out of genuine curiosity, on which $10k+ transactions is the government reporting requirement (which strictly is of your bank and not you) a hardship or privacy concern of yours?

I mean, people make embarassing transactions all the time, and it virtually never leaks. Even Trump's Daniels payoff (as juicy a story as you could possibly imagine) didn't show up as a leak from a bank or the government. In practice, this just hasn't been the privacy concern everyone thinks it is.

A lot of people use it because it's so obvious that they're operating at a loss. That's why the ride is so cheap. If they brought prices up to what they "should" be, volume would go down or the competition would snatch it up.

If Uber wants to take a loss on my ride, I'll be there every time.
1. Identification is not needed, only presenting a token, everyone gets exactly one token during the occasional registration. If you lose a token, you can get another one, deactivating the last ones.

2. There should not be any proof of work. Really, PoW is one of the worst things to secure a blockchain. In fact, you don’t need a blockchain. You just need a Merkle Tree. Blockchains are about ordering of transactions - the order here is irrelevant! (see caveat below)

3. How can you be sure every vote is counted in ANY system? As long as you can communicate your vote to a network, the gossip protocol takes care of it. Everyone gossips every vote to their neighbors, so just send it to a few nodes. Again - NO BLOCKCHAIN.

4. For each election, you fork a token to use. Then you simply participate in token mixers, like Monero rings. Put all your derived tokens into a hat, then each takes a token and uses it to cast a vote.

You may be wondering, what if someone votes with an “old” token version that hasn’t been mixed. First of all, we can require mixing. And secondly, they cryptographically signed over their token to someone else so when that someone votes with that token, it will override your vote for that token. Since they present your signature in the token history, that you signed it over.

This also allows us to have forms of democracy where you sign over tokens to other people for a timestamp range of, say, the next 1-2 years, to make decisions on your behalf. Better than representative democracy. More like a giant parliamentary system. You may pick a science expert to vote for scientific bills, and a criminal justice reform activist to vote for criminal justice bills.

We can get to near total participation in the democracy this way.

Caveat: although honest validators in each district can construct an eventually consistent Merkle tree by simply finding all validly signed tokens, ordering them lexicographically, and signing them, we DO need a “cutoff” time that they stop accepting offers. This is a Buridan’s ass problem, and it gets even hairier in a Byzantine Generals setting. We need to know that no one submitted a vote after the cutoff time. Thus, we need a two phase commit — each node has to gossip the cutoff time and other nodes have to acknowledge a widely gossipped message or get kicked out of the consensus. There are always edge cases to this — see Ripple’s consensus process for instance — and theoretically in very unlikely cases a “fork” can propagate to the population at large, one person thinking a vote was cast before the cutoff and the other thinking the vote was cast after the cutoff. But unless that handful of votes determines the entire election, that won’t matter. And frankly the same thing can happen even more with current systems.

I agree that my theory is reductionist, but on the flip side, that also keeps it simple and interesting to talk about, like we are now :)

I start with the very debatable axiom that all new code begins its life as liability. I've argued this in the past by deduction:

You type a single character into your editor, and (depending on the change, and your language's execution story), you've probably broken your code. Type a few more characters, and it is now less of a liability, because it compiles. A few words more, and it is less of a liability, because it accomplishes some small task (imperfectly). By the time you have committed some set of changes into version control, you've hopefully ironed out the liabilities. But, it's entirely possible that you've created more liabilities than assets. Code review hopefully refines it further, but things still sneak through. I could keep going, but I think this is clear?

Measuring the liability:asset ratio for a given piece of code is a challenge, and is more qualitative than quantitative. I believe that this is also an argument in favor of "new code is a liability", otherwise code review should catch all of our mistakes.

But yeah, I have found it to be useful "in the real world" as a heuristic for thinking about how code bases evolve over time. I do not think that it translates into a hard-and-fast rule to weaponize in code reviews. However, it does temper your expectations about the fallibility of code, and it is also a convincing argument for code review as a quality-control process.
I think it would be interesting to know how much you feel this process has influenced the actual curriculum and delivery methods. The last thing we need right now is a regulatory approval process creating some kind of pedagogical monoculture that doesn't allow us to explore new ways of educating folks young and old. There are certainly risks involved with deviating from the norm, but there are undoubtedly rewards waiting to be uncovered as well.

I think the main thing regulation should do is help manage how much risk the students are exposed to. They can filter out low effort scams while allowing experimental programs that can rationalize their approach a wide latitude to innovate and even fail. Based on my cursory assessment of Lambda's model, they would likely survive this type of scrutiny.
> need more face to face interaction.

One aspect of the problem is face to face interactions can be tedious and boring. E.g. if you have a particular interest, you can easily find a virtual community with people from all over the world, but you may not be able to find people close to you.

If that's the case then you may think you'll go to some local organized event for more face time with people, but if you are not interested in that activity then you'll just hang around bored.

That's why virtual connections are so rewarding, because you can easily find people with similar interests, and also you can be there whenever you feel like it, unlike in real life when you can't just leave the group for several hours, returning when you are in the mood, like you can do with an internet forum.

UBER masks this real number across many of their general line items.

EG they put ~$300,000,000 of the "Driver Incentive" cost into "Cost of Revenue" line item that represents:

- "Any amount paid to a driver that exceeds the revenue earned by that driver (for instance, if a driver’s earnings from a trip exceed the fare for that trip). Excess driver incentives jumped by about $300 million in 2018 from the previous year, largely due to Uber Eats."

And then they stick $1,800,000,000 into "Sales & Marketing" representing:

- "Discounts, promotions, refunds, and credits for customers,"

- - - -

A popular criticism of UBER is that their unit economics are not sound - eg they can't make money at scale on a per ride basis.

So this giant $2.1b glut of Driver Incentives and Customer Incentives is one of the areas to deeply study and build a position around if you'd like to be an UBER stock holder :)

Here it's is about DRM, so if you tolerate one (from Nintendo), another (Bethesda) has an excuse to push on you more. Only demanding DRM-free is consistent in this regard. I.e. my personal view - vote with your wallet and don't use Switch, if the issue of DRM bothers you. Not sure what else users can practically do about it. Otherwise, I don't see this improving really.

> should your mortgage go underwater you will lose that home

How did you arrive at that conclusion? I'm no expert in that field, but an underwater mortgage really means a decrease in mobility for a mortgage borrower (example: if they want to sell their home and relocate, then their sale proceeds will not cover their full liability). It should have no bearing on the ongoing affordability of that mortgage which is the primary cause of a mortgage borrower losing a home. What am I missing?
