Given the plain absurdity I can't help but ask what they are high on if they think a banking system is a neccessity to loot. Banks have certainly been complict but the solution is to hold /actual bad actors/ responsible.

Perhaps rhetoric or ideology given that it is dripping with antisemitic dogwhistles taken at face value. Most of those are essentially ancient bullying charging them with being disloyal, rootless, and exploitative after repeatably persecuting them, displacing
them and forcing them into a scapegoated "dirty work" that was religiously allowee so they stood to inherit the money after their death.
Looting like that has occured through time immemorial - from the occupation of Viking, literal stealing of goods and the very literal colonialism of the East India Company and Leopold.

Once again it ammounts to absurd scapegoating - if they actually wanted to hold the kleptocrats accountable they would hold them accountable!
Their fortunes aren't going to do them much good when they are isolated from them in prison or death row.

It is the blind hierarchical normism of enforcement double standard that is the true root. Ousted dictators aren't responsible for travesties and can retire quietly while enslaved hostages are guilty of materially supporting terrorists.
> I think he acknowledged it pretty clearly; he claimed it as one of his most public failures, didn't he?

He did? All I see is a series of articles where he randomly flails towards no clear goal, with no clear understanding of Sudoku and gaining no insight either. At the end it just peters out. The last article claims "Sudoku will not ship", and that's it for a post-mortem.

Unless he wrote another article elsewhere explaining how TDD failed him, or how he employed it wrong, or owning up to any mistakes, I think he acknowledged nothing.

Watching Norving vs Jeffries writing a Sudoku solver is watching someone who understands the field vs a novice who doesn't know what he doesn't know. Except this novice is a self-proclaimed expert. It's embarrassing, really.

> But also, where's the TDD naivete? The problem isn't TDD, the problem is knowing how to apply constraint propagation. You could TDD constraint propagation and it'd work fine.

Jeffries "sold" TDD as a design and problem exploration technique (aka "TDD is not about testing"), which it really is not suitable for, or at least not for algorithms (I've no doubt you can TDD a CRUD application, but how uninteresting is that?). It's a lot less sexy if he had said "yeah, all the TDD in the world won't save you researching the problem, maybe actually reading the literature on the subject or learning about specific techniques (like constraint propagation) will help". TDD as a design/discovery method for algorithms doesn't work -- you won't learn constraint propagation by doing TDD. Did Jeffries acknowledge anything of the sort?

You know why TDD is often demonstrated in toy examples with the Fibonacci sequence or similar algorithms? It's because everyone already understands them. It's easy to "arrive" at a solution you already know beforehand.

Be wary of anyone who proposes some procedure X, and when it fails claims "yeah, well, this is not a failure of X because <reasons>".

To add to the national comparisons - here in Japan the mother typically stays in hospital for a week to recover while getting help learning to feed, bathe and change the child. My daughter was born via C-section and so they kept my wife for 10 days. You can get a paid upgrade to a family room if you wish.

The tradition is then for the mother to stay at her parents house for a month to get help from grandma when she's learning the ropes (my wife lasted a week).

I couldn't imagine getting kicked out the same day. What a load of work! Especially if the father is expected to go straight back to work (as another comment said was typical before this year)

It’s exhausting that the author of Svelte has to continually compare his project to React. It’s a huge red flag when someone can’t substantiate why something is worthwhile without criticizing adjacent projects.

I understand that React is the front-end framework du jour, but React nor any other successful project got where it is by continually criticizing others’ work.

"1%" is a mirror that reflects human tendencies to only look jealously at those doing better than them, rather than objectively include those worse off.

Radiolab (I think?) had an episode on this.

Even the rich are jealous of their "1%".
No matter how you put it, people will find tendentious excuses for ignoring the issue, and when they are no longer tenable, they will switch to another, without any concern as to whether it is consistent with their previous position.
Warrants aren't due process?

It's pretty clearly the case that a process where the individual is not involved up front but retains the ability to challenge an unfavorable outcome can, for some things, be the process that is Constitutionally due. It's less clear exactly what the boundaries are for that, because the Constitution doesn't really explicit provide rules for determining what process is due for any particular action, leaving it in practice for courts to evolve standards.

>If your photos live on the service's servers, they are no longer yours.

They very easily could be, if the service wanted to write it's contract of adhesion to allow the user meaningful control over the scope of how the service can use the photos.

But conventional wisdom believes there is less money in that route, and nobody in "tech" is willing to settle for less than maximum exploitation of assets.

1. Where, in the original "article" is this "10k" size of the PGP key ever mentioned? (All I can see is the "Result size: 9846", which looks like some sort of output from a steganography program, and that's the data it found's size in bytes. An exported PGP key could be of a reasonable bit length and still be 9KiB in size, depending on additional metadata on the key.)

2. Link to source image? How was the key found to be embedded in the image? The tweeter seems to "not have Internet" — of course not! — when asked?

Of course not, even a totalitarian fascist regime would not be able to force their population to such a large downgrade in their lifestyles to achieve zero total emissions; any government trying to do that would get violently overthrown by their people.

The only conclusion that can be made from these IPCC projections is that we will not avoid a 2C increase because there's no chance that people would be willing to "pay the price" to achieve that.

You actually are betting your entire fortune on that the world will be better then. Because in the current szenarios for the year 2050 without major actions to combat climate change, your fortune most likely will be gone.

I personally hope that the world will be better in in 2050, but the only way for that to come true is in my eyes very systematic action to go reneweable across the bord.

Because my car can do 155mph? ;-)
I've never gotten used to wearing a mask, so when I travel I make every effort to get a room away from the street so I'm less likely to have either street lights or the hotel's own lights shining in the window. I unplug everything I can, and I bring tape for the rest. Nightlights built into bathroom power outlets have been a particularly annoying trend lately, and most kinds of tape don't completely block the light themselves, but the tape can hold whatever thickness of paper or cardboard I need. Band aids will work in a pinch, but tape is cheaper.

Why can't they just leave the key in the glove compartment? That way, Zipcar only needs to unlock the car remotely when the user starts the rental, and lock the car remotely when the rental ends. In between, the user can use the key. like with every other car.

One facet of the problem (the cell coverage) is largely out of Zipcars control, no? I suppose they could add some functionality to their app so that you're alerted when you park at a location without cell coverage?

Thanks for your input.
People were suspicious because the published NYPost photo appeared to be photoshopped or altered in some way. Not sure if it actually was but it caught on.
Consumers benefit because of competition and redundancy several suppliers create.

Competition forces suppliers whose service is deemed inadequate by the market to change or disappear.

> Any reasonably competent quant can calculate a liquidity premium and factor it into their ETF arbitrage strategy

Liquidity premium isn't relevant here. The concept of the liquidity premium explains the differences in prices of otherwise identical securities as a function of their liquidity. What you're thinking of is called slippage, the difference between your target price and realized price for a trade.

When running an ETF arbitrage strategy, your concern is not explaining the price of the relevant securities. However, you do care whether you can enter and exit positions profitably. Slippage models are highly nontrivial.

> ETFs that trade illiquid assets should simply trade at a discount relative to their "last traded price" NAV

Many closed ended funds do in fact trade at a discount to their NAV.
Intel's 10nm die shrink gives significantly lower clocks than their 14nm process though Ice Lake supposedly makes up for it with higher IPC.
>Did Setting a Timeline Doom the Fight Against Global Warming?

No.

I also see no evidence in the article it has hurt attitudes either way. In fact, polls show general concern about climate change. Doing something is another matter[0], but people are mindful of it. Nonetheless, the article seems to be more about the author's personal feelings than whether it influenced the movement around it either way.

> That's very different from saying "to restrict a right it must be effective".

No, it says exactly that.

It is very different than saying “If a law restricting a right is effective, it is Constitutional”, which is not the same as “to restrict a right, it must be effective” (one states a sufficient condition, the other a necessary one.) Nevertheless,being effective is a relevant differentiator between one proposed restriction and another that explains why they might be seen differently Constitutionally, as while a law which is effective at serving some government interest may be unconstitutional, one which is not is almost by definition is not narrowly tailored to serve a compelling government interest.
Processes aren't dependant on previous ones. For example AMD screwed up with 65nm, but 45nm were just fine (although under GloFo, but the work had started much earlier).

If the next process won't work their only option would be to switch to TSMC.

My guess is that this is either a false positive by outguess or something embedded by NY Post meant for internal use.

Edit: outguess is finding binary data in the file, but the binary data is 57643 bytes, far larger than a PGP key. outguess 0.13 supposedly finds a smaller payload... Yeah my guess is just false positive.
The problem as I see it is that accumulation of wealth-movement power (note that I did not say "accumulation of wealth" because that isn't really at thing) seems to be necessary to some extent in order to overcome collective action problems in society. Funding medical school is a great example -- nobody wants to do it, on their own, but society as a whole wants it to get done.

Either you have wealthy individuals do it, or you have the government do it. But someone has to pool a lot of resources in one place and start moving them around, if we want things like free med school to exist.

Maybe it's better if the government does it; in theory it leads to better outcomes because the government has better incentives to make good decisions with their wealth-movement power, outweighing the inefficiencies of economic centralization by ensuring that people's basic needs are met across the population. This is what a lot of leftists and liberals will argue.

Meanwhile conservatives, libertarians, etc. will point to government track records in actually implementing programs well, engaging in corruption, designing good policy, and becoming extensions of corporate interests. Not to mention generalized waste due to mismatch between "incentives to start projects" and "incentives not to spend money".
Just before my kid was born here in the US, we got two boxes from Finnish families, and they were great.

It was approximately 100% of my son's wardrobe for the first several months, and we actually did have him sleep in it for a couple weeks early-on, putting the box on a (large, well-supported) stack of books next to our bed before we moved him into his own quarters. The clothing was unique (in the US) and attractive in a very Scandinavian sort of way, and held up really well. We've passed most of it on to other families, and each piece has probably been used by three or four different kids at this point.

I did a significant write-up on it here: https://www.care.com/c/stories/580/a-year-with-the-finnish-m...

NB: It was on Kinsights back when that existed, and Care.com's redesign kinda botched the formatting. Sorry to myself and others!

I can see how this is sometimes true, like if big tobacco donated to research on the safety of tobacco. Or if they took money from Epstein and used it to research sexuality in children that would be a problem.

But I don't see how that concern applies in this case.
It’s not something subject to a court. The FBI could haul in a user of state-legal marijuana and charge them with crimes in Federal court whenever they want (subject to the federal law prohibiting funds being spent on prosecution of medical marijuana in certain states).

That it isn’t happening regularly is just because the FBI/DEA and other federal agencies aren’t currently focused on it. That could change any time at the whim of an executive order from Trump.

It's great if that works for you, but we're not all alike. Personally, I find that the biggest thing for me is just having a consistent schedule. Does that mean other issues won't exist for others? Of course not! Some people find weighted blankets beneficial, and good for them. Some people like sleep masks and/or earplugs, ditto.

I think we should encourage people to experiment and find what works for them. The key is not "everyone do this" or "nobody do this" but "try things, pay attention to which ones work, and do those".
