Isn’t this equivalent to stamping PDFs with your signature like we do elsewhere ?

Also the stamp has to be registered to have legal value, which makes it tough to change.

But your idea of signing with the result of some personal certificate is very nice. It can be checked by crypto, different everytime, and wouldn’t matter how it is signed, if it’s easy to reproduce the content etc..
It could be a bias of mine, but if averaged out over an entire county I don't think these are mutually exclusive. I'm talking about the 'rough parts of town' that are typically dominated by a minority population.

Try this:

Go find a crime map site, pick a big city and show homicides over the last year.

Then go to the racial dot map and see how it compares to the census of that locale.

I work with airline pricing but I'm no expert on that (this vertical is ridiculously complex. Half for necessary reasons and half because of 70 years of technical baggage), and I'm also no legal expert. So take everything here with a million grains of salt.

But I do not believe so. From my experience airlines are extremely strict about their partners displaying correct pricing. I've been told displaying a price lower than what is available is illegal / a liability and work under that assumption but I'm not the person who knows the specifics. However displaying a price higher than the lowest available will also get us in big trouble with the airlines. Maybe my work is biased since I deal with promotional campaigns and ads, but the general reason for a complaint will be something like (just making up fake examples) the airline having a 24-hour sale, and because we our systems didn't pick up on that for 2 hours so that's 1/12 their marketing budget thrown away.

Furthermore, many airlines don't directly manage their own booking and pricing and instead have it managed by a third party. So aside from legality and conditions from the airline, you can also be bound to conditions by your reservation system. There are plenty of them, but if you want one to Google for your curiosity Sabre Corporation is the largest.
Having grown up in South Korea in the 70s and 80s, I would not describe the social conditions of modern South Korea dreadful. Yes there are issues, but it is heaven compared to the times of 70s and 80s.

And let's not forget that S Korea is one of the most densely populated country.

The only notification I get on my phone is if someone in my contact list calls me, in which case my phone will actually make noise and vibrate. Otherwise, I check my messages on my own time, which makes the most sense to me because messages are supposed to be asynchronous communication, yet we treat them like they deserve responses ASAP.

I have been in similar circumstances at my university where critical servers were made inaccesible during ongoing research. So I understand Dr. Povey's frustration first-hand, but breaking into the building (and the protest) was an escalation unbeholden to a professor.

The banality of some student activist causes gets to me too and often politics do not align. However educators need to show patience and decorum.
> We detected the attacker at this stage, based on a number of behaviors (e.g. Firefox shouldn’t spawn a shell).

Yes, actually.

NOAA and NASA do a great job forecasting weather and tides. The CDC does a ton for public health: no recent pandemics I can recall. The NIH is one of the best biomedical research agencies in the world—-and the NSF, NASA, DoE, and DoD research divisions are no slouches either (GPS, internet, etc). The Library of Congress and Smithsonian make a lot of American heritage accessible to everyone—-and also do serious research of their own. The National Parks are awe-inspiring. The USPS can reliably get something to my family on the other side of the continent for $0.50. The USDA has kept our food supply wholesome, and the FAA/NTSB have made flying—an intrinsically crazy activity, absurdly safe. The SEC and FDIC have keep American markets aboveboard and attractive to investors from around the world.

There’s more to the government than the DMV and taxes.

In fact, if you’ve ever had to interact with the IRS, they are astonishingly pleasant—-I got a question answered and a (small) amount of money refunded in a ten minute phone call. It was vastly better than calling Comcast or the insurance company.
> Wouldn't that apply to git? You can probably get 90-95% of the benefit of git using mercurial with a fraction of the effort in learning. Life is too short to spend learning the internals of one version control system.

I haven't used mercurial much, but it seems like you would have to understand the same amount about the core data structures to do something in mercurial as with git [0]. The really simple activities you do day to day don't require any deep knowledge. And when you want to do more complicated things you have to know what you are doing.

Its similar to writing simple C++ programs vs complex ones. You may not need to understand smart pointers to write small programs, but understanding smart pointers or at least the concepts behind them is critical to write large programs.

[0]: There are minor differences between the two that probably make git harder to pick up. Among them being the staging area, and rather obtuse UI. However, the market effects of git are hard to ignore.
My suggestion is always just use what you need.

Responsive website? Use Bootstrap or Foundation.

Want to build for mobile? React Native, Ionic, or Cordova. These will also take you down the React or Angular path.

Just need minimal API access? Don't go further than jQuery.

Need something heavier? E.g. CRUD dashboards, listing sites, social media, you can pick up a web framework.

For IDEs, Sublime Text is almost a direct step up from vim. It's the fastest and lightest, has the most shortcuts, even a 'vim mode'. It's fairly cheap (compared to say, WebStorm) and doubles up as a great text editor and note taker.

They are discussing regulations upon businesses, rather than laws that regulate the behavior of individuals. It is an important distinction.

There is a big difference between a democratically elected government and a business. Governments must demonstrate restraint because they ultimately report to the people. Businesses typically demonstrate restraint in order to avoid regulation by the government. If you neuter government, then there are very few reasons for them to demonstrate restraint. In other words, the government is the chicken wire.
Considering he referred to minority concentrations in urban cities compared to the rest of the city, I believe the bias would be on your part since he didn't bring up rural areas at all.
There's nothing to memorize here, or there shouldn't be, because "filter" is a standard array function in JS that I imagine most JS developers have encountered.

Knowing how "filter" works is valuable because now you can use that knowledge in the future on any project that uses JS, unlike "_.compact" which is only applicable in projects that use lodash. You can be relatively confident that you can write "filter(elem => <some function>)" and that other developers will know what "filter" is doing.

The second part is more tricky, but still useful.

The !! operator is just two "!" operators. That's pretty normal too. The first "!" converts an object/number/whatever into the opposite of its boolean value. The second "!" negates the first boolean, thus turning the opposite of the boolean value into the object's original boolean value.

Even if figuring this out on your own is slightly more difficult, it gives you valuable insight into the language (JS is very dynamically-typed and the not operator can cast objects to booleans), which will help you write better/safer/more concise/clearer code in the future.
It's funny, I've had exactly the opposite experience.

I’ve never understood the thought that we can separate public and private morality/ethics. I remember during the Bill Clinton hearings, many of his supporters said that just because he is untrustworthy in his private affairs (pun intended), doesn’t mean he is untrustworthy in his public affairs. I’ve heard the exact same line of reasoning being used by Trump supporters.
The market only provisions grocery stores after massive subsidization, centralization, and exploitative labor. Can you usually purchase cheap local produce for less than that offered by a conglomerate? I'm certain there are useful parallels between healthcare and the grocery market, but I feel like you left them out of your comment. Take bananas for instance: ubiquitous, constantly in demand, sold mostly by two companies, and widely produced by slave labor.

> safely dispose of ferric chloride, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid

The first step is easy: neutralize them with any base, such as baking soda. You don't need precision, just add a lot of it, and make sure the pH is close to 7 (or beyond, baking soda is not corrosive) at the end. After this step, the solution is no longer acidic or corrosive and much safer to handle.

Unfortunately, the next step is tricky. The solution is safe, but it still contains a lot of Cu+ ions, which is a heavy metal pollutant and poisonous.

On the other hand, if your sulfuric or hydrochloric acid is unused for etching anything (clean without those nasty ions), you are good to go, just dump them in the sink after you've neutralized them (test with pH paper) it's perfectly safe.

Guess what: if every cop is going around doing mental statistics about who is 'more likely' to make a mistake, they'll introduce bias because they are biasing their sampling with their pre-conceived notions. If you spend your whole day chasing black people and white people get no oversight, then of course you'll be introducing bias.

So whether this cop was being overtly racist or not, he was perpetuating an inherently racist system.
Maybe this is a good place to articulate what's been on my mind lately regarding growth. I don't think there's much local opportunity for developers beyond starting their own businesses past the senior level. Instead you have to be willing to move. Individual companies will not be able to challenge you beyond their business needs.

The other thing I wanted to talk about is how I solve technical problems. The first thing I do is get a representation of what the problem is in my mind enough to where I can see a clear path forward. This leans on my ability to take a 10,000 foot survey of a problem space. My current role deals with microservice architecture. Microservices is right in my wheelhouse due to my better-than-average sysadmin skills.

But I end up having to learn a lot within a short amount of time. So in order to cut down on what I call the "sheer mass of information needed for mastery" any time I look at a new tool or tech, I make a beeline for the "architecture" or "concepts" page. This is where I work out exactly which concepts and which level of the architecture I'm working at.

I then use the problem statement and vision above to hone in on a perfect implementation. Then I look at the actual state of the system and work to bring it more in line with the perfect one.

I recently was tasked with getting one of our guys unstuck. He was having a tricky issue with aquasec that he'd been beating his head against for a week. It took me five minutes to understand the problem, then I went to my desk and spent twenty on obtaining a reproduction. I didn't want to redo his work, so I then asked him what happened when he did X and Y. From his answers I had a clear path to being able to demonstrate that it was aquasec throwing a false positive on a npm library, and was already in talks with our devops team about next steps. It took 30 minutes for me to move his issue forward.

I feel like this manner of solving issues with techs that you don't necessarily have full understanding of could revolutionize the industry. But I can't really grasp how to teach it. It looks like magic to people when I show it to them, they think it relies on years and years of experience. I mean, it kind of does, but I was able to avoid ever getting fully stuck on problems even as a teenager.

But stretching out the problem space and treating each barrier in turn, diving in a little bit into complex techs along the way, I don't see a lot of coders doing that. Instead they just kind of muddle around with what they know, believing they need perfect understanding of a tech before being able to solve problems effectively with it seems to be the norm. And we have this tech landscape where years of experience in technologies becomes the primary determinant behind how most employers judge candidates.

I think the increasing march of devops and other techs that purport to unite the whole world into one walled, splendid garden will eventually bifurcate the tech world into supermen who know everything, and the underclass who can only work in one garden. If that's not how things already are?

Maybe a secondary school for advanced coding or bringing guilds back.

Wages must be paid to people in order for those taxes to be collected, and in order for jails to be built and operated.

"The government" is highly inefficient at doing whatever it proposes itself to do. All the work it performs doesn't provide actual value. So much so it can only make its own accounting "work" by the means of printing money. Without that ability it wouldn't be able to honor the debts it acquired while it emitted currency, potentially leading to a default. If it manages to get out of that, it would have to be significantly downsized, with many of its functions migrating into the free market.

"The government" is composed by individuals, such as politicians and public workers, plus corporations associated with them. All of those people have financial incentives. Once fiat currencies start losing too much of their purchase power, even those people won't want to keep using them, feeding into an ever decreasing size of the state.

Those people would have no financial incentive for creating an "internet tax", or using guns to steal other people's money in the presence of a market that is now more free, growing fast and making people wealthier. They'll just leave "the government" to be paid better, or even to get paid in the first place, as "the government" might become bankrupt.

Of course "the government" will try to collect taxes by all means imaginable. Fat chance. With less and less ability to pay its officers, it will progressively lose its power to enforce taxation.

Keep an eye on the financial crisis that is overdue, and what's going to happen after it, so that you understand how short the life of the state is.

But if you really think that's bollocks, do yourself a favor and don't accumulate crypto currencies.
For Mirimir and other ~low anonymity personas, I just use a different VM and nested VPN chain for each persona.[0] If keeping them unlinked is not critical, I use the same host machine, and don't obfuscate writing style.

And because I use nested VPN chains, no individual VPN provider can correlate stuff from different personas. It's the same distribution of trust thing that Tor does. Albeit far weaker, because I'm only using several VPNs, and not thousands of Tor relays. But still, it'd take some effort to obtain logs from enough VPN providers.

If I care more about keeping personas unlinked, I make sure to use different VM OS, given the risk of WebGL fingerprinting. Because using the same virtual graphics driver and physical GPU gives the same fingerprint.

If I care even more, I use Whonix via nested VPN chains. With a different Whonix instance for each persona, or group of somewhat linked personas.

If I care lots more, I do all of that, using a different host machine, on a different LAN, with different nested VPN chains.

>But not marrying and not having children is not suicide, neither for the individual nor the society.

Isn't it?

Take away the moral connotations for a second. If a country's population does not reproduce, tautologically, it will die off.

Sure, not reproducing is not suicide in the same way that a shotgun in the mouth is. But isn't it, in the same way that refusing food is?

After WWII, the UN adopted a definition of genocide that included "(d)imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group." If China were doing it to SK, we'd call it genocide. If SK is doing it to SK...?

I'm not trying to assign blame here. But that's the point: whether you die in your bed surrounded by family, in your garage with the car exhaust on, or in a totalitarian purge---you are still dead.

So, I don't know---neglect? decline? twilight? Sustainable (non-) growth? Call it whatever you want, <2.0 TFR reduces the population however anyone feels about it.

If the time scale of climate change matched the time scale of coral evolution, then your comforting thought might hold water. Unfortunately, our climate is changing faster than many evolutionary processes can keep up with.

Rates of change can matter. Just because you can safely walk down 30 flights of steps, doesn't mean you can safely jump off the roof of a 30-story building.

Totally agree with this sentiment. Especially in situations of deadly but hardly justified self defense.

Sure, if you feel threaten you should use your gun. But you're feeling being would have a significant cost for society and you should have to bear your part of it.
pretty easy really. Add acid to water, then add baking soda to the acidic water until it's neutralized. (no more bubbling), then pour it down the sink with more water. Use appropriate precautions, gloves, goggles, well-ventilated area, etc. Once the acid is neutral, it won't hurt anything in the pipes.

Usually it is a good idea to refer to original work for methodology, not a heart warming journalistic report.
I'm not sure that's true. Less gun related violent crime, certainly. But that can lead to higher rates of other kinds of violence, as those who are good with knives or their fists are now the top of the food chain. It is not clear that the total amount of violence would go down significantly. (The total number of deaths might, though.)

For example, there is very little gun violence in the UK. But the amount of knife and fist violence might surprise you.
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." -HL Mencken

I agree with your sentiment. I often ask people what percentage of the warming is due to CO2 emissions and what percent is due to natural fluctuations. And I struggle to receive an answer. There is nothing about the 20th (or 19th) century that makes it some sort of end all be all yard stick for permanent climate expectations on the planet.

People will usually retort with an admission that the climate is always changing, has always been changing, and will always be changing, but they resort to the argument that the climate "has never changed this quickly". Which is bogus and ignores even relatively recent periods of rapid and consequential climate change as the Medieval Warming Period and the Little Ice Age, both occuring this millennium, which is a blink of an eye on a geological scale.

The alarmism is completely unwarranted and counter productive. If we were to disappear off the planet tomorrow, what would happen? Would the earth continue to warm or would it enter a cooling phase?
