I don’t think it will be solved easily either. But I think it will be mitigated enough that the benefits outweigh the harms.
The credit score is a form of behavior modification tool. Some unseen force defined it, and then imposed it upon us. Comply, ideally excel, or be a social outcast (read: screwed).

We had no say. We certinly had no vote. Yet it's a simply ubiquitous tool that cleanly defines the behaviour of some man.

It is a hack. The article lists a whole series of things that are standard in other languages that you can't do in go. Here are some examples:

Find smallest/largest element in slice
Find average/standard deviation of slice
Compute union/intersection of maps
Find shortest path in node/edge graph
Apply transformation function to slice/map, returning new slice/map

And here are data structures that other languages have but go does not:

Sets
Self-balancing trees, with efficient insertion and traversal in sorted order
Multimaps, with multiple instances of a key
Concurrent hash maps, supporting parallel insertions and lookups with no single lock

If it were not a hack, then go would not have these limitations.
You can pick frequent or point-to-point service but you can rarely have both. Transfers are a perfectly normal part of a transit network.
Xs4all in The Netherlands does, but they are a daughter of KPN since 1997 and now in 2019 KPN wants to merge all their brands to KPN. So that ship might sail soon...

Is a Standard Car Dealership or Mortgage Lender going to support you redlining an agreement, crossing out the sections you don't like (which include oversharing every and all morsel of data they can fetch from you)? No. The salesperson/CSR is going to be confused, and not even know how to proceed.

In none of these cases did I opt in. And I decidedly couldn't opt-out.

I used to work with a public transit evangelist tragic (in his spare time) and he hated buses and bus-ways. I could never understand it. I think there's an element of permanance to light/heavy rail where the physical infrastructure is there (ergo it can "never" be taken away, ha ha) while a bus-way can be turned into a road.

I think there's some legit reasons (capacity) that light rail is better than buses in many circumstances, but there's a fair bit of fetishism in the anti-bus mob. It also seems to line up pretty well with 'not liking transit unions'.
I disagree with you. AMD is much more widely known than TSMC.
The choice shouldnt be between whether they need the drug or not but rather who to buy it from. The fact that there exists someone who needs a product is what drives the profit to zero in a free market because newer manufacturers are incentivized to provide the product. The choice is among from whom to buy not whether to buy at all.

Right now insulin is expensive because the government is preventing companies that can produce it for cheaper from selling in the united states because of a lawsuit by the current market holder. That the government even has this power is a textbook example of the danger of governmental interference in the free market. People are literally dying because the government has made the market less free intentionally

Yes, if you want to borrow money, the person loaning you money is generally going to insist that you opt into the system that helps them understand if you are a good credit risk or not.

That's not an unfair request on their part.

1. Start working on a brand new project.

2. Optimize for delivery and thus write garbage code.

3. Get recognized/promoted/a big bonus for delivering on time.

4. Start working on a new project or leave to a new company while others are forced to deal with your mess.

5. Rinse and repeat
> Coke is enjoyable to many, that's a benefit.

True. But would people enjoy it as much if it were priced accordingly to give the workers who made it a living wage? If they had to pay full non-subsidized prices for the corn sugar they use, and to give those workers a living wage as well? In other words, would people enjoy it as much if it was instead of a dollar a bottle, more like four dollars?

And don't even try and shift to a different company. It is not unreasonable to assume that there is ethical compromise involved in purchasing anything from a company Coke's size. Chiquita almost started a war so they could continue exploiting South Americans for cheap bananas.

I take issue with this "well there's no haaaarm" point because there very often IS harm. There is tons of harm if you follow the supply lines back to the developing world where western corporations exploit entire nations for the sake of cheap goods that then are consumed at a break neck pace in the West, far more than they should be, which then even harms THOSE people by making them overweight.

If your company could do actual good in the world by ceasing to exist, then I question why you need to exist in the first place. That's all I'm saying.

The Hubble famously had a few issues. Probably the most well known was the spherical aberration ground into the main mirror. But before that was discovered, there were a few hiccups during the deployment of the satellite. One of the more critical issues was that they could not get the high gain antenna to deploy. The brass put all the designers and engineers into one room and told them to figure it out ASAP. The engineers were confident that they knew what the problem was, they just needed a way to convey the solution to the politicians. A few hours in, my uncle ducked out, went to toys-r-us and bought a set of tinker toys. After sneaking back in, he and John Decker built a model of the antena and were able to successfully convey the fix to the higher-ups. By the end of the day they were able to deploy the antenna. I distinctly remember getting a set of tinker toys for christmas that year.

I tried to get Sonic at 100 Grand Avenue in Oakland after they put fliers on homes and businesses all around saying "We are coming to Oakland with our own fiber and offering gigabit!" (they have been in Oakland for a long time with their AT&T DSL product). Turns out, they decided to not install to my building (254 unit high-rise), most likely due to a, what I believe to be, illegal exclusive line ownership agreement that my commercial landlords signed with AT&T.

Thankfully, a recent entrant to the inner Bay Area market, Wave G (which has roots in Astound, a name those of you with connection to Walnut Creek might recognize, and RCN) is now providing me symmetric gigabit point to point internet for $80/month with no caps. Just very glad to finally be rid of Comcast.

I will say though that I've previously gotten Sonic at business addresses, both DSL and Fiber, and they have been super great. Glad to see the small guy winning in such a competitive market as the Bay Area.
Forget the $31 million. Just make equifax 1) pay 100% of all damages that result (or potentially result if it's not clear) from the hack 2) cover the entire cost of switching to a more secure system, including developing the system, issuing all americans with a smartcode token or something, etc., without receiving any payment for it or profit.
I do hope you tell her the prices she pays are significantly higher because amazon and home depot have to pay for her arriving via google.
Some google clicks are $25 each! You can be sure its you that pays that bill in the end.
Better hope not too many people looked at what you want to buy before you did. ;)

Someone should fund a "cash back for not using google" browser extension.
Thanks Rod, I wasn't asking why I was being down-voted though.
Because I said profit is driven zero not revenue. JFK to lhr requires all sorts of international permitting that is a fixed and varying cost that domestic routes do not have.

Airlines are a great example of the race to zero profit. Airline margins are slim and thus the cost of travel often reflects exactly the cost of doing the flight itself. JFK to Heathrow requires participation in multiple markets, currency instability, multiple regulators etc which make the cost more excessive. Also london and new York airports are busier than sfo increasing airport fees. Thus in a market with low basically zero margins, the cost from ny to London is more as competitors that cant make the unit economics work leave the market entirely. New competitora cant enter the market at a lower price point because their profit would be zero.
Remember Dennis Hastert? Remember how quiet the media was about that scuzzbucket? You notice how quiet they are about the fact that this convicted child molestor is now ... a respected congressional lobbyist?

It's probably worse than we know.
Couldn't disagree more. Buses are much slower, often have long and winding routes (because they're not stuck on rails), get stuck in traffic and can't hold as many people, my tram lines with dedicated lanes don't have those problems. I doubt you'd see many people taking buses for trips where trams are an option.

The permanence is also a feature. One of my favorite things about Melbourne is never having to visit a shopping mall because retail spaces spring up naturally along tram lines, these are easy to get to, open and walkable. It was also a big factor in where to buy an apartment, I'm pretty confident the tram lines will be there long after I die but bus lines can be changed on a whim.

It's a crime that Sydney and Brisbane got rid of them.
I love how the author doesn’t even mention the idea of a criminal wearing the vest. Now, everyone is safe from tasers. So criminals will go back to... guns? And police will shoot more innocent people than they already do. Hazzah!
I think even if people are covered, they may be counting on people finding it exhausting to jump through yet another hoop. Maybe they’ll even make us fax it :/
This is such a great idea! Thank for you doing this :)

I also came into tech from a non-traditional background and I struggled at the beginning to get my foot in the door. I studied math and econ in school, and even though my passion was writing software, it was hard to start applying without any projects or connections in the field.

To find a job, I spent money on a coding bootcamp post-graduation from college. This seemed like the only option at the time. If there was something like this at the time, I would have rather have gone that route instead.
It sounds like you're buying their DSL service. DSL is delivered over the telephone network's copper. A copper pair is necessary to deliver DSL.

Nope. Before they rolled out the fiber product you could BYOD. Of course before Fusion they would sell you service without a contract and then expect you to call them every time they raised the prices.

With the current Fusion offerings (ADSL, VDSL, AT&T FTTN, FTTH) they promise it's a $40/mo rate, but then omit that they charge $10/mo for the modem rental. You CAN opt out of the modem rental but then the monthly rate goes up to $50/mo. There's no option to purchase the modem outright (and it a junky Pace unit).

At least that's how things were when they first rolled out fiber. There was a ton of confusion and the phone reps dished out information contradicting the support reps who post in the Sonic support forum. Things may have changed since then but I doubt it as Sonic seemed extraordinarily attached to their subpar modem/router things. I ended up paying $10/mo for a defective modem I never used because it was easier than dealing with support.

Oh, and let's say you're a long-time Sonic customer that wanted to upgrade to fiber. Want the $40/mo promo rate? HA! Good luck. Sonic has shifted towards giving the finger to loyal customers in favor of spending beaucoup bucks on new ones. For a while they were even offering ~6 months free if you got a coupon code from Nextdoor (UGH).
Just be rich!
An appeal to ignorance requires to me make an assertion. Saying something is _possible_ is not an assertion.

I concur however, that if one has a genuine concern for plant suffering then only ethical course of action is suicide.
> The public response to the settlement has been overwhelming. Millions of people have visited this site in just the first week. Because the total amount available for these alternative payments is $31 million, each person who takes the money option is going to get a very small amount. Nowhere near the $125 they could have gotten if there hadn’t been such an enormous number of claims filed.

What a joke.
I think the mandatory phone service if you get Sonic FTTN (aka resold AT&T FTTN) is also a result of that regulation. DSL is Title 1 but phone is Title 2, or something like that.
What makes you think all that money goes to R&D? Last I checked pharma was making insane profits
This is amazing. How are you running into trouble with this for 5 years? What is their counterargument?
I would be quite fine with them going out of business -- I never chose to do business with them.

Other businesses would pay a lot of more attention if this were to happen a few times.
> Conversely buses pull over to the side of the road, usually into a lane that is used for parking...

This can actually be pretty bad for travel time as well, because then the bus has to wait for a break in traffic to get back on the road. Now in the US many places build bus stops out to the road lanes so that they don't have to waste time pulling in and out of traffic.

This seems less a problem of trams running in the middle of the road and more of a problem of localities that don't build suitable waiting areas next to the tram tracks. Example: https://nacto.org/wp-content/themes/sink_nacto/views/design-...
I think blaming the present day migrations on "climate" some how is "citations needed:" they're very obviously (to me) caused by political problems and wars the US fomented. Blowing up Libya and Honduras were shitty ideas.
I would think a sail, or rudder, could redirect the force from the CO2 canister.
I don’t feel you realize how good you have it.

What you're missing is that the price is the same for fiber and DSL. If you're in a part of the Bay Area where all you can get is 3 Mbps DSL from Sonic, they'll gladly charge you that same price (and yes I did this for a while until I realized that Sonic wasn't particularly loyal to their customers).

Oh, and $40 is the promo rate these days.
I believe the theory you're referring to is what Wikipedia calls the theory of Abiogenic petroleum origin [1]. But that theory is for hydrocarbon liquids and gasses, not for coal. The two theories can be complementary, i.e. coal and peat from buried plant matter and (some or all) oil from planetary upwelling (and perhaps from 'deep microbes').

I'm not taking a position here myself although I do find the theory interesting, particularly the theory of a deep microbial biota. I think you're right that it is generally discounted in the mainstream scientific community.

I am at a loss as to what your threat model might be where that makes some kind of sense.
I think it demonstrates pharma has excess cash. Also in countries where there’s a public system pharma usually has 0 advertising because people have no choice anyway.
Something I don't understand about DRFM is doesn't your physical bird skin reflect a signature at a physical rate of (Y), where DRFM will only be as good as (Y)(N) where N is always some percentage above Y?

TLDR: won't it appear as two different energy returns/tracks (one from your physical aircraft, the other from your DRFM-replay source)?
Being cynical is easy, but there is plenty of fairly high quality reporting on this issue in the mainstream media.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-turkey-trump/trump-sa... - “Turkish operation of the two systems together — and more specifically, when it is in stealth mode — would allow the S-400 to acquire intimate knowledge of the F-35’s radar signature,” Karako wrote.

“Such insights would almost immediately find (their) way back to Russia, and the capability of F-35s around the world could thereby be degraded.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/17/world/europe/us-turkey-ru... - Ellen M. Lord, the Defense Department’s under secretary for acquisition and sustainment, said the S-400 and its radar systems could compromise the F-35’s stealth capabilities and jeopardize the fighter jet’s long-term security.

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/16/politics/trump-turkey-s40... - 'The S-400 poses a real threat to US national security, analysts said. The Russian system is built to defeat US stealth technology, leading officials in Washington to worry that if Turkey took delivery of F35s, the Russian system could be used to collect valuable information about the fifth-generation fighter jet.'
It's possible. The heat signature is well-hidden on the B-2, YF-23, F-117, and A-10. Yes, from the perspective of ground-launched IR-seeking missiles, the A-10 is actually stealth. The tail wraps around the engines as seen from many angles on the ground.

Generally, it also helps to fly toward the enemy. This is a bit of extra incentive to not wimp out and flee. :-)

The F-35 is a bit of a failure with the heat signature. The tail heats up from the engine exhaust. There are prohibited maneuvers that damage the tail due to heat.

Aircraft don't have to be perfect about heat signatures. They aren't in a cold vacuum, and the enemy isn't flying the James Webb Space Telescope.
If I itemized by time wasted by hours, does that come out of a different pot of money than the $31m these checks used?
You are correct. Moreover,amazon uses one platform to support others. For example the eCommerce platform is supported by AWS. I would rather look at amazon as a portfolio of platforms.

This model is very hard to beat, since usually the emerging platform operate at a loss, which is big barrier to entry.

The key to win here is not to fight the emerging platform but the supporting platform. For example, if one attack AWS, it would likley take down the eCommerce part.
Agreed. How does one become more resilient though?
Ugh this title. Flight by light? A solar sail is not flying. An airfoil generating lift is flying.
Yes I did; I wasted some time during my struggles with my own dissertation reading all of Drexler's gorp. It was hilarious. It's mind boggling to me he invented a "subject." I know guys with a Ph.D. in nanotech. One of them is a very talented GPU programmer who is embarrassed about the whole thing.
Looks like I got out just in time. Verizon's DSL options were notoriously overpriced and slow in my area, and I seriously doubt they got any better once they weren't forced to compete anymore.
I wonder if this is something to do with their implementation, because in every place I have lived and been with trams the trams were faster than buses since buses were stuck in auto traffic. I love trams and trains. Tracklife for me.
That's the official Pentagon line, but it's not it. What are they saying, the S-400 are backdoored with a network connection to Russia? And Russia already has S-400s in Syria, with Israel and the US operating F-35s in the region...

The real reason is the US doesn't want to set the precedent for NATO countries buying weapons outside of NATO, and you can be sure the military industrial complex has a huge hand in that.

Americans lost over $2.4B in online scams last year, new report claims
"Having written these numerous large, complex systems, I believe there are less than 10 instances where generics would've been super helpful."

If you wrote Python, you'd probably be saying, "there are less than 10 instances where type declarations..."; you could make similar statements about concurrency or a host of other features.

And you'd be more or less right.

Here's the deal: a language with generics is very different from a language without generics. You write different code, you solve problems differently, you think differently. This is why they should have had generics in version 1.0 and why adding them later seems so underwhelming to some of us. Generics have a lot of advantages, but you are going to be looking at a bizarre mixture of programming styles for a long time.
Both FTL and antigravity have about more evidence in their favor (white juday interferometers, while probably bullshit, are at least physical) as nanotech.
I had Sonic fiber for a while. The speeds definitely weren't consistent -- max downloads would suffer (but still be much faster than non-fiber offerings) during peak hours. Plus they still don't offer native IPv6, static IP addresses (they reneged on that), or reverse DNS with fiber (their ADSL offering still does). If all you're doing is "surfing the web" that's probably not a big deal. But it is a step down from the Sonic of yesteryear that was targeted at power users and had excellent customer support.
Not sure about F-22; however recently Israel attacked some targets in Iraq using F-35s in stealth mode, and those were likely monitored by Russians in Syria (or I would be very surprised if they weren't...)
A lot of times buses/busways get trotted out as the anti-transit alternative. Or are super watered down. In general if you have to build new infrastructure doing it with rails vs asphalt cost is not actually that different.

In general, for developed countries with high labor costs busways are a rotten deal since buses have such low per-driver capacity. And the most successful busways can't scale and end up getting replaced by light rail anyways. (Ottawa, Seattle, LA's Orange Line)
Speaking of, I'm trying to get my hands on a T400s Thinkpad, but not having much luck finding these units.

I plan on flashing it with libreboot and want to give guixsd a try as a daily driver.
Where is this? In the US I’ve never seen a hospital without windows and free tv. Although gyms are different, likely because if you are healthy enough to hit the gym you are healthy enough to go home.

Although one thing that always stood out is no one is expected to sleep in a hospital. A nurse or doctor will likely be in every few hours doing something to wake you up. And in between there will always be noise from the hall.
That makes even less sense. Was the code flow like:

sparc instruction

jump +6

Not separating the code out by blocks seems unworkable to me.
Only works for Java (and maybe JavaScript). No help for those of us using real languages.
