This is nonsense and ignores that the rich and wealthy can actively destroy value on a far more massive scale. The damage fracking has done to the environment for example is far more than any homeless encampment and that's just one example.

Most of the wealth from the poor is stolen through increasing rent seeking behaviors from landlords, insurance companies and lobbying. I could speak at length the ways banks organized things as to punish the poor by organizing deposits to occur after transactions so that they can charge overdraft fees or insurance companies deciding not to cover you because of pre-existing conditions.
Hmm. If they depend on Social Security for 90% of their income, should Social Security be included in their savings? It's not conventional savings, and yet it's funding their retirement.

In the same way, should pensions be counted as part of savings?

And if you run the calculations that way, what does it do to the distribution of wealth?

Note well: I am not saying that this is the right way to run the calculations. But I think it could be a somewhat informative alternate way to do them.

I had good grades and test scores. Very nearly straight 4.0. I applied to a wide variety of schools. I got zilch at every single one, save some strange merit scholarships that were basically 1/2 off after increasing the price by 2x, but everyone who had at least a B average got these. I was actually in the accelerated program in HS, but the schools didn't take in the different GPA scale, so taking the harder courses ended up screwing me out of money.

Now that I'm older I still get no money, but I don't even get the "merit scholarships."

Yeah, but that only tends to work in favor of the company. Try telling them you're salary, so you'll only be working 25-35 hours / week. Even if you get your work done and don't have a 'butt needs to be in the seat' type job, they'll laugh at you.

Ask HN: How did you change your online behavior after the Snowden leaks?
I'm currently reading Edward Snowden's autobiography "Permanent Record". It is now over six years since his famous release of internal documents from the Intelligence Community.

I have the impression that despite the knowledge that his leak brought us, many have gone back to 'business as usual'. But if I take it seriously, I would have to assume that all the traffic I am generating is being logged and stored for an indefinite time, and that various international intelligence agencies have direct access to the data stored on servers of all major cloud providers, negating the usefulness of 'https everywhere' and similar approaches to encrypted transmissions.

So I'm curious how you changed your online behavior in the past six years. Do you store all private data on your own servers? Do you take additional measures with regards to encryption, in storage or in transmission?

Combining psychedelics with meditation opens the very real risk of conditioning one's meditation practice to require psychedelics to have any efficacy. When not taking psychedelics and meditating one will attempt to re-create or grasp after the pleasant sensations and thoughts previously experienced, which severs one from looking into the present moment as it is.

Sounds like something you _want_ to believe is true, but I'm not sure that it is.

Is there even anecdotal evidence that this is a risk?
I currently run a batch of trading servers solo. The trading system is a C++ process with an asynchronous logger that prints log levels and times. One of the issues with trading is that you're dependent on your datafeed and exchange connections working which is out of your control.

I use a python monitoring script that tails logs watching for ALERT level log lines and constant order activity combined with a cron watchjob to ensure the process is alive during trading hours. The exception handler in the monitoring script sends alerts if the script itself dies.

If there are any issues I use twilio to text me the exception text/log line. I also use AWS SES to email myself but getting gmail to permanently not block SES is a pain in the ass. By design Twilio + AWS SES are the only external dependencies I have for the monitoring system (too bad SES sucks).

On my phone I have Termius SSH setup so I can log in and check/fix things. I have a bunch of short aliases in my .profile on the trading server to do the most common stuff so that I can type them easily from my phone.

I also do all my work through a compressed SSH tmux including editing and compiling code. So if things get hairy I can pair my phone with my laptop, attach to the tmux right where I left off, and fix things over even a 3G connection.

This compressed SSH trick is a huge quality of life improvement compared to previous finance jobs I've worked where they use Windows + Citrix/RDP just to launch a Putty session into a Linux machine. It's almost like finance IT has never actually had to fix anything while away from work.

If that's Sentry's opinion (and it seems like it is), that's fine, but that's not what "anti-competitive" means. The word for that is "competitive."

Then it was a fairly useless question to ask to begin with.
Why not GPLv3+? Under that license, it's possible for someone to offer a commercial fork, but it requires that the source is released under the same license, which makes third-party commercial forks 1) not a good business plan and 2) not contain code that the original author can't merge to the original branch, which are both aspects desired by the author. The GPL is a free/open-source license as defined by FSF/OSI. If additional permissions are needed, they can be added as allowed by section 7 of the GPLv3. In my opinion, the GPL fosters the best free software community because contributers can be certain that their code is not used in "anti-free-software" ways.

> We have found that inflation (1) worsens income distribution

This is an interesting question, but that's [1] a terrible study.

It compares "data averaged over 5-year periods" across different countries. It's effectively a scatter plot of income inequality versus inflation.

The study's findings are better stated as "countries with high inflation have worse income distributions." Which makes sense. High-inflation countries tend to have low-quality institutions and low economic growth, factors which make being middle class difficult and poor miserable.

The right way to do this is longitudinally, studying populations over time. Even that's hard, given the number of interceding factors. At a minimum, an input must be the distribution of credit and debt, given inflation transfers wealth from the former to the latter.

> If a 3500lb vehicle can't decide what it is about to impact, it needs to slow down (to a stop if necessary).

Don't be so sure. What if it's a bird, and you're traveling at 70 mph on a busy freeway? Slowing down or stopping could result in getting rear-ended or worse.

Clearly more testing is needed, and more work needs to be put into identifying objects early.
If I hired a painter and I told them they couldn't go home, go out to lunch, or leave the premises for 16 hours, even if they only take 10 minutes to paint, I'm paying them for that time.

If a company puts a demand on your time, they need to pay for that time no matter what your profession. So when I'm on call on a weekend and I'm expected to answer my phone and be immediately available and connected to the client, I'm billing them for the fact that I cannot leave the confines of my internet.
It would be cool if they started that way, but closing their source and pretending that it's to make the market more competitive is really a stretch.
> > 5.6 seconds before impact, it classified her as a vehicle. Then it changed its mind to “other,” then to vehicle again, back to “other,” then to bicycle, then to “other” again, and finally back to bicycle.

That alone should have been ground for immediate cessation of operation until a driver could take over, for the system to be declared unworthy of operation on public roads until this problem was fixed. The differences between 'pedestrian with bicycle', 'vehicle' and 'bicycle' are so large that any system that wants to steer a vehicle should be able to tell the three apart at at least 50 yards of distance or even more.

That is the reason why regular drivers have to pass an eye test before they are allowed behind the wheel. If you can't see (or understand what you are seeing) you should not drive..

Hi this is the author of the article. You're just making the exact mistake this article is about: you assume people who click on your ad and then buy something, bought something BECAUSE of your ad.

From the article: "Suppose Luigi’s Pizzeria hires three teenagers to hand out coupons to passersby. After a few weeks of flyering, one of the three turns out to be a marketing genius. Customers keep showing up with coupons distributed by this particular kid. The other two can’t make any sense of it: how does he do it? When they ask him, he explains: "I stand in the waiting area of the pizzeria."

It’s plain to see that junior’s no marketing whiz. Pizzerias do not attract more customers by giving coupons to people already planning to order a quattro stagioni five minutes from now."

It's the same in online marketing, you often target people who are searching for say a pair of shoes. People who are searching for shoes have way higher baseline probabilities of ending up buying a pair of Nikes, whether you show them a Nike ad or not. So if you do not correct for this 'selection bias', you have no idea what your ad did.

The research I describe in the article clearly shows (and please look it up yourself, the links are all there) that selection bias is HUGE, and that it's hard to know ROI, because true advertising effects are tiny if you measure them in an experiment.
I just want to say I love the little built in links/dropdowns within the article to expand information. Much more user friendly and smooth than using formal citations.
> Probably

Hopefully. The concern is if what the article says is indication that they won't, or at least not for some time. Does "does not require associated software because Windows doesn't need it" mean that they didn't see a point in making the associated software for a user minority? That's what I think the concern is.
When my dad worked as a mechanic in a power plant, if they went down and had to call him in on a day off, it was a guaranteed minimum of four hours that they had to pay him, even if it only took an hour to fix whatever it was. Almost always at time and a half, as he'd already put in his 40. Double time on scheduled holidays.

- HQ'd in the Netherlands ensuring worldwide users are protected by stringent EU and Dutch privacy legislation

VS. DDG based in the United States

- Startpage provides Google results

VS. DDG provides primarily Yahoo and BING results

- Startpage offers Anonymous View, a proprietary feature that lets users browse their search results privately via a protective proxy

VS. DDG does not have this feature, but has done well to design an intuitive and attractive experience.

Making a request to the server is completely different than opening a new connection. HTTP/2 lets you use an already opened connection, if applicable. Thus it is able to bypass making a handshake/etc. for every request made as well. Making a request however will still have to traverse the network irregardless. GraphQL gives you a query language to tell the server what you want in a single request. So if it is your first request to server, and a new connection needs to be opened, HTTP/2 is irrelevant. Basically, HTTP/2 and GraphQL have NOTHING to do with each other.

This is a FIDO2 device.

It's actually easier to support this in Linux than a "conventional" PIN-based FIDO2 token because the Linux system doesn't need to arrange to read a PIN from the user and send that to the token, the token is going to read the user's fingerprint instead.

If you just want a second factor, it'll work like an old FIDO device, which you might be familiar with for U2F - everything is already in place, loads of people are doing this including with Yubico's existing FIDO2 (pin-based) product.

If you want this to be the sole factor (as in the Windows demos or for a site where the convenience of one touch login is good but you don't need MFA security) that ought to work with WebAuthn out of the box, but I actually haven't seen a demo, so I can't say this from personal experience even though I own a FIDO2 token.

In the end, this is precisely what the license change is trying to prevent. It's happened to several database companies at this point, and they're simply trying to hedge things off on competing SaaS providers (their commercial model).
