I've had to tell my bank "it wasn't me" and it was a relatively quick process.

Also, most sketchy things are caught by the usage pattern algorithms before the transaction is even authorized. If I just blatantly emailed my card number to someone in Nigeria and they tried to buy a bunch of stuff there it would never go through in the first place.

Keeping some short numeric digit a secret seems like a rather vain effort to me.

This is separate from my desire for security to increase. Yes, I want security to continually improve. But the lack of client side security in the US doesn't actually impact consumers in a significant way, if you ask me.
Agreed on the structure part: structuring research is incredibly helpful for guiding the research itself, knowing what’s left to do, and the nice bonus of also making it easier to share the results, both incremental and final.

Research is in many ways naturally more unstructured than other dev tasks and people don’t get too much practice at doing or delegating it, so it can be fertile ground for organizational misunderstandings. Structure agreed upon up front can help all that.
China has a peg to the USD - they can peg at any given multiplier, no particular multiplier is any more valid than another, so how can they (or any other country with a peg) not be manipulating their currency?

It seems to me, the US gov't no longer cares much for the new multiplier, so this is just a cynical way to put negotiating pressure on them.
Considering the sheer volume of mobile devices in asia, and China in particular, this wouldn't surprise me. However, I was under the impression that "5g" doesn't actually mean anything. As in there is no technical definition or standard that Huawei could be ahead of. Are we just talking about general mobile technologies or have things changed wrt 5G?
Yes, the common name and the no SAN was one of those problems. It didn't help that 90% of all tutorials to do a self signed CA only set a CN, and sometimes you had dependent internal systems. How this appears to people who end up servicing tickets are just 'Chrome doesn't work anymore' and having to answer many people that 'Chrome won't work any more until a larger business process resolves, and there's nothing we can do about it' really sucks. Also to an end user who might be a nontechnical administrator of a enterprise application there was no indication that it was going to become a problem, they just show up to work one day and they can't work.

Sounds like a pretty local issue, and while it's true that there are spots like that (Mudchute in the Docklands is also awful) a lot of the areas with FTTC are pretty stable ... just look at TBB broadband stats for real speed tests.

Anecdotal ... I've lived in two completely separate areas of the UK and been connected to 3 different FTTC cabs ... none of them were problematic.
Blocks are useful, because you can distribute the workload onto several workers. Most encoders nowadays write first blocks with just nodes, then blocks with just ways and then just relations.
We've started using it at our org in early 2019. Each product team has developed, or is developing a list of 3 SLOs to be treated as high priority.

This means when we miss our SLO targets, that team drops all in progress work to fix what it broken.

Some teams actually started with broken SLOs, which meant pausing the roadmap to tackle performance concerns.

It's been working well. Improvements against SLO targets have been seen to have measurable impact with users. This has been in the form of "completing more steps successfully" while they use our product.

The aim overall has been to decrease user frustration, and improve user satisfaction – and to that end it's been very effective.
> Algebra was a unifying theory which allowed rational numbers, irrational numbers, geometrical magnitudes, etc., to all be treated as "algebraic objects".

That's more about water than food per se, though they go hand in hand.

It indeed does help that nearly all major Nevadan cities (and the vast majority of Nevadans, in turn) happen to be near the border between Nevada and one of the world's primary agricultural powerhouses, though.
Quite likely. I think Americans in support of single-payer ought to look to Canada, not just as a model of how to run a fair and cost-effective single-payer system, but how to implement it against massive political opposition from incumbent groups that financially benefit from a for-profit system. Americans might not be familiar with the name Tommy Douglas, but to many in Canada he's considered a hero.
When I go by the numbers it looks like there is easily room for enough renewable energy generation for everyone to consume energy services at "Western" rates. But a number of caveats:

Energy production is the easier part. Storage is the harder part. It seems like renewable electricity storage is just now getting to the point of maturity that solar electricity production was 10-15 years ago. [1]

The model Westerner in question is someone more like the median Dane than the median Texan. [2]

Some forms of consumption are going to be limited by constraints other than CO2 emissions from energy. Ruminants emit too much methane for everyone to eat beef like Australians. There are not enough redwood trees for the world's populations to install redwood hot tubs like Californians used to. There is not enough usable space in Luzon for most of the population to have a large detached house even if there were clean energy for all those houses.

I don't care if someone steals my credit card number. That's not my problem. It's my bank's problem.

This is spot on. I refuse to use or even have a debit card issued for my actual bank account. Almost everything goes through CC's, so worst case, I have at least one layer between "my" money. As a bonus none of my CC's are from my bank, and I have several from different major vendors, so unless a lot of things go wrong at once, I should always have access to at least some amount of credit.

It's also made budgeting and tracking my spend much easier, since I don't want to pay interest on any of these things, and the tools for managing credit cards tend to be better than what I've seen for checking/savings accounts.

This is a better summary: https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/rej.2018.2167

After the initial report was published a number of let's say "conspiracy theorists" made their own articles and tried to find new things sometimes with doubtful methods.

The original research doesn't claim that any particular piece of argument in itself is conclusive but that combined together, it creates a corpus of oddities that amount to a strong doubt.

> Meanwhile Jeanne was apparently able to name old professors and maids of hers, things that her daughter would probably not have known or remembered.

In particular she made several "mistakes" when relating the names of people living with them, including the maid as you mention, which would be consistent with a maid that accompanied Yvonne to school but not Jeanne. See "Whom did Marthe Fousson accompany to school?" from the link above. Similarly for the piano teacher.

I have an Apple Watch, weirdly I don't find myself doing that a lot. Something about turning the screen around and being unable to see it. Although I think the newer watch versions have a better interface that comes up quicker. I might want to try using it more often.

Still, you have to admit that having a $400 watch as a barrier vs. a card that my bank gave me for free is a bit of an advantage toward the contactless card.
Rifled through it, seems to be just the standard stuff.

I was particularly disappointed by:

> The bad news is that this is a little harder than using the Monkey Rules to calculate derivatives. In some sense the Monkey Rules, particularly the Quotient Rule and the Chain Rule, "blow functions up" when they systematically calculate derivatives. In order to go backwards, and undo the Monkey Rules to find antiderivatives, you need to think a bit like a forensic analyst who studies the site of an explosion to see what sort of bomb was used. We'll discuss this analogy more later when we practice finding antiderivatives.

("Monkey rules" are the derivation rules, this kind of cuteness is a big part of the purported dumbing down)

Anyway, systematically calculating derivatives was always a big sticking point for, as indeed you often need to use multiple rules and it's not quite obvious which chaining of rules will get you there. I was hoping the authors could introduce a systematic algorithm (which no doubts exists but I never bothered looking up - I don't do much integrals day to day) or at least some strong form of intuition that goes beyond "if we did this we'd have something on which we could apply that rule".
No if you look at the chart from the NIHCM about halfway down the article, you see that 3% of total costs cover the first 50% of people.

The top 5% of people account for about 50% of spending and the top 10% account for 2/3 so conveniently the statement you made is actually pretty accurate too :)
Abuse handling isn’t free, there are providers who charge per report. I’m sure BitMitigate wasn’t paying Voxility sufficiently to deal with all the attention they chose to attract.

I would argue that that your latter assertion is not the case, at least not here in the US. When I got my first cellphone in the mid-00s, you bought your phone on an installment plan from the carrier as part of the service contract, the purchase installments were rolled up with your and service fees, and that's the way the world worked, regardless of which carrier you chose. Bringing your own device was not a thing.

It wasn't until later that I learned that cellphones could exist independent of their carrier networks and be unlocked therefrom; that one (in theory) could purchase a phone somewhere else, and then bring it to the the carrier of one's choice to be configured to interface with that network. And I only learned of that fact because I am nerd who likes to learn as much as he can about anything he becomes involved in.

Most people aren't nerds or have nerd-like tendencies. Most people simply want a magic rectangle so they can have Snapchat and Twitter in their pocket. The carriers do little to advertise the fact purchasing phones independently is even an option. So I'd say, no, most people don't know what they're getting into when they sign up.

And lest you say that said terms are right there in the contract, while true, be honest, when was the last time you carefully read and understood all 40-pages of the EULA when you have a more pressing problem to solve? I suspect even you commonly simply click the "I Agree" to get that damn boilerplate out of the way so you can Buy The Thing already.
Can you not just buy a phone separately from your network provider?

In the UK i can just buy any unlocked phone I want online and stick my sim card in it, the networks let you use whatever you want. My current phone is only 3g but this has worked everywhere I have traveled so far, Europe, Asia, Mexico, but not tried US.

For 2018 the India goods trade surplus with the US was $21 billion ($33.5b in US exports to India; $54.3b in India exports to the US).

US exports to India climbed from $21b to $33b over the prior two years (2017 & 2018). That's a nice increase of $12b or 57%; their exports to the US increased by $8b over that same time frame.

To put that into context, US exports to India will match US exports to France this year approximately, so it's already a serious export market for the US (and 50%+ larger than US exports to Italy, which is the 8th largest economy). Importantly, India has serious economic growth and a likely high long-term growth trajectory, whereas most of the top 20 economies have had very little or zero growth the past decade plus. If you're the US and you're seeking export growth, India is one of the best options.

The primary benefit to maintaining a good, equitable economic relationship with India, is that they're likely to have a very large economy in the near future. Even though they will remain poor per capita for a long time, they're almost guaranteed to become the world's third largest economy behind the US and China in the next few decades.

In terms of economic output they passed France this year and will soon pass the UK (within 6-12 months if they haven't already). That puts them #5 behind Germany, which they'll plausibly pass in six or seven years. 20 years from now when they have a $8 or $10 trillion economy, as an American, I'd prefer that the US have a reasonable economic relationship with India that benefits both sides. In the future they will probably be a very important market for the US, so you should try to take care of the relationship today.
Erm, with pairwise syncing you still want a "server". I've used unison as my primarily file syncing for a decade, and trying to maintain a spanning tree among partially-available nodes/disks is a pain in the ass. And creating loops means you can't rely on file deletions.

I agree it doesn't have to be a corporate-owned, or even corporate-snoopable "cloud" server, and if this is your goal then unison will work well. Also you can trivially solve the dedup using zfs, but I don't think dedup is a killer feature for personal storage.

(Better would be a "manual dedup" utility to catch those instances where you copied off the same thing multiple times over the years. I'd appreciate any recommendations here, although writing one seems trivial when I get around to it - calculate recursive sha256sums for every node in the filesystem tree, and look for the biggest matching ones)
The issue though is that Apple are prioritising thinness, not lightness.

Of course, one is sometimes a proxy for the other, but it's not a given.

I also travel a lot, and want a thin, lightweight laptop - but it must be functional, reliable and have excellent battery life; I don't care a jot if the next generation is 1mm thinner than the last if it means sacrificing keyboard usability and reliability, battery life and cooling.

We past the point where thinness was an issue a long time ago. Now it's just a pissing contest.

Alliant has a 2.5% back card (https://www.alliantcreditunion.org/bank/visa-signature-card)... it does have annual fee though, so unless you spend a lot of money on non-bonused categories it is probably not worth it.
Or if you can stash $100K with BoA or Merrill, BoA Travel Rewards give you 2.625% back (1.5% back + 75% bonus), with no annual fee.
So the card has a magstripe, and therefore, is no different than a regular card.

It's just that you now have to confuse your cashiers who are looking for verification info on the card when they're putting it into their point of sale systems.
IIRC someone crunched the numbers that even with unlimited fusion power, if you extrapolate the growth in energy use in the 20th century, we could only continue for ~200 years before significantly increasing global temperature due to waste heat.

An innocent-seeming 5% growth turns in to four orders of magnitude if it continues for two centuries.
