His point is if you make the lenders take a haircut you end up having to pay much higher interest rates when you borrow. Just like how if I default on my credit card, my next one will have a much higher interest rate.
In K, I'd much rather read

(~2!)#x

(Not (~) modulo 2 (2!) filter (#) of x.)

Or perhaps more idiomatically,

x@&~2!x

(x indexed (@) where (&) not (~) modulo 2 (2!) of x.)

Reading a python comprehension requires awkward skipping around, and composing them together is a mess. APL-style uniform precedence is something I wish more languages imitated.

Still, anything's better than an endless sea of for loops.
why would that be wrong? if most people are searching for the truth wouldn't it be better to give them both sides of the issue and have them decide for themselves? Why is Google deciding why that specific Hillary query is taboo? And who gave them that right?

They aren't held in a negative light... After the war, they were forgiven and I think society in general has accepted that they were just following orders. The leaders definitely thought in a negative light.
"People use Facebook because _everyone_ is on facebook."

There was a time when everyone was not on Facebook.

Every social network with a critical mass now started without one.

Back around when Facebook started, MySpace was massive. Now it's extinct.
> Also your Uber driver doesn't know your race when he accepts your ride or not. Which is probably why I find it a lot easier to get an Uber than a taxi.

Not being able to hail a cab due to racist drivers is a problem. However, in your example, the Uber driven can see your name, which is a pretty reliable proxy for your race, unless it's highly generic like John Smith or something.

Taxi drivers have to accept cash and cannot force you to pre-pay for your ride like Uber can. That at least reduces the number of drivers who would otherwise refuse to pick you up because of a perception that you wouldn't pay.
The one nice thing about Prime vs Prime video, is they advertise both prices separately, so we can at least get a peak at what percent of the prime cost amazon thinks video is worth. We know they arent selling Video by itself at a loss, it wouldnt make sense to give away video as a loss leader, if you arent snagging people elsewhere.
This must be intentional on Amazons part. Other e-commerce companies like eBay completely removes these sort of counterfeit luxury goods from appearing on their site. Amazon could easily do the same thing if they wanted to. Also eBay has even less seller verification than Amazon. So that excuse doesn’t work.
I really love the idea of ditching reference managers. The utility of these three scripts (or something like them) really is demonstrated when on mobile.

RSS feeds, Twitter (or emails from colleagues) give me a raw list of papers to read. Using the url of whatever journal webpage as a basis it then gets converted to a doi by the Zotero translation server (hosted as a lambda on AWS). From there its the crossref API to generate a filename for the PDF, and then Elbakyan's resource to download the actual file (even though I'm usually on an academic network that has full access, the scihub api is cleaner). All this gets launched from the share sheet from the browser, and deposits files in a cloud drive.

A little bit off topic, but could anyone explain to me the actual utility of a reference manager if all your references have dois? I don't get what it provides over a folder of PDFs with annotations?
Are Algorithms Sexist?
This would be cool mixed with kind of a flipped free shipping thing, where I pay USPS $x a year and they deliver me up to y packages a week/year/whatever with no additional charge. You give the reference number to the vendor, the shipping comes up as free, they print a label and ship.
It's actually not too bad. You can run a pool of soffice processes, but unless you really care about the startup time, I'd suggest running individual processes per job, which you can run headless from the command line. For the most part libreoffice does well, although at some point you'll start to discover the quirks in their rendering...
The housing crunch is one of the biggest problems of our generation, worthy of a lot of brain power to solve. Why can't we have innovation in housing?

It's not a product for everybody, but a lot of people like social connections-- my old roommates all came to my wedding. Who knows, maybe one day they will figure out a product for families too. I think more options are always great, and reading Jon's response below, it's obvious there is a huge underserved population.
Just imagine Facebook without Indians.
I remember when Amazon was a relatively safe place to shop, and I didn't have to be as suspicious of what was sold there as I had to be in other places (such as eBay).

But that stopped being the case a while back. I learned the hard way that I can't be so casual about buying from Amazon anymore. This has eliminated a large part of the advantage that Amazon had for me.

It's worth poking around the sample questions on that literacy survey: https://nces.ed.gov/NAAL/sample_results.asp they're not using literacy in the sense of just being able to read english prose. I, at least, can see how you might fuck up the survey but still be able to muddle through writing a couple pages on Duchamp's Fountain, it wouldn't be easy but 1 in 100? yeah sure.

It's not superior to "one size fits all" when you have states whose history is wrapped up in terrorizing The Other with it's judicial system.
I can see why many people place feel that way. I agree that there should be some balance between collective and personal responsibility. I just think US society and politics has placed such a heavy emphasis on the individual for so long and that we'd be all better if we weren't so quick to blame each other but help each other out. I don't think anyone deserves to grow up with bad schools and yet that's the only option many people have.
It doesn't differ from many adults (though common cultural focus seems even more important for teens to me), I'm just challenging the idea that teens _do_not_ focus on pop culture.
> clicking the "Download PDF" link should redirect the user to an unusable in-browser PDF viewer

Pro tip: in Elsevier's case, middle-click the "Download PDF" link so it opens in a new tab. Briefly avoid switching to that tab until it does some redirects. Voilà, you get the actual PDF instead of the stupid viewer.

This looks like fantastic software btw, I wish more people would release their tools as old school POSIX-style shell scripts instead of asking for hundreds of MBs of dependencies or fancy electron GUIs.
I didn't even realize people with normal eyes couldn't see as closely as I could. Is it really true that normal eyes have a near point of almost 10 inches?
ASUS did this with their routers, and pooled reviews by making all of their routers different variants of each other, even if completely different. I was annoyed because I had an unbelievably shitty experience with one of their (very expensive prosumer) routers.

The silver lining, for me, is that I was so fucking annoyed with ASUS support that I angrily shipped it back to Amazon, bought Ubiquiti equipment, and experienced such quality whiplash that I bought a bunch of UBNT (now UI) stock. +160% since I bought.
Sure, but if your concurrent number of fully tendered requests at least sometimes dips below the number of cores, it is a big win.

(At the possible cost of top-end scale; improving response to normal workload significantly and hurting the top workload reachable somewhat).
Improper use of contacts can scratch ones eyes and not everyone can comfortably wear contacts. The risk of LASIK may not appeal to some, but saying "what about glasses or contacts?" is a silly question from the perspective of someone who has had LASIK. It's a personal choice.

Also, some of the negative responses to such a survey can be avoided by proper screening of candidates and not just wanting to take the money of every person who walks in the door. For all we know, the people who responded negatively to that survey were never good candidates for lasik in the first place and are just frustrated they spent the money for little change in their vision.
> The reality is Amazon doesn't care - there IS a market opportunity here for someone to take them on with trusted product catalog and quick shipping (using UPS / Fedex).

Target? Walmart?
For your use case, what part of your need isn't provided by a phone/address-book? I suspect it's the receipt of broadcast messages from your friend network? If so, then yes, you need a social network with features like FB.

Personally, I'd rather not receive those kind of messages - I only want to receive messages that someone specifically thought to send to me. Doing so dramatically reduces noise. The only exception to this is broadcast messages from important networks with built-in hard trust boundaries (the email list for my kids' classroom, my neighborhood watch list, the Whatsapp group with only me, my wife, my brother, and sister in law - not even parents), and even on those, I will leave if they become more of a cost than a benefit.
I can pull the Associated Press' RSS feed for free. Likewise with the BBC and ProPublica and The Intercept.

Why would I pay $13/month for news I can get for free without useless "social" features and data collection?
> I understand our society is not ideal, but I just think those problems are going to take generations to fix. Why not take care of yourself and do your best to fix your own shit.

When success is governed more by luck than effort, I'd imagine one might get tired of putting effort in forever with no results. "The floggings will continue until you succeed" is not a strategy for happiness at scale. American Exceptionalism is an incredibly toxic idea not supported by data.

> I just don't get why people sit on their asses and complain instead of getting out and making shit happen or at least trying to. I don't get the barely getting by mentality.

Because there are lots of folks working their asses off who are barely getting by. These people are not hard to find and talk to about their situations (at least, in my experience politically canvassing by foot).

I am not sure. I am a c++ programmer. We don't have a sexy new framework every week or something like that. I am not really worried. I suspect that if I wanted to I could write c++ until I retire. I changed jobs some time ago to keep writing c++ instead of being forced into c#. I kind of hate microsoft, that is mainly why. Rust sounds kind of interesting but I just skimmed the manual a bit. In my spare time I program coq instead. Just because it is interesting. I don't have much anxiety.
I feel this problem as both a buyer and a seller. The fake copies are everywhere and it's really hard to fix them. I am forced to buy my competitor's fake product, receive it and then file a complaint that it's fake. That is the only way I have to deter the fake sellers.
As a buyer, prices are also crazy sometimes. I never buy with confidence any more on Amazon having faith about getting the lowest price. I now always double-check Walmart and often Walmart is cheaper!
I don't think it would be right to out the whistleblower unless you're going to sue Google for unfair treatment, and you need their testimony.

This sort of thing is why we have courts.
They still sell tons of stuff from the infinite dictionary of random import brand names that nobody's ever heard of like "Amplim," "Kootion," "Ktaxon," "Yosoo," "Zimtown," "Zokop," etc.
I guess it's obvious in retrospect but most of my panic here was that someone would need cash. If that was the case, and cards weren't accepted, it would be truly draconian.

"I'm a mog - half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend."
I wore contacts for several years before my eyes became sensitive to them. I'm unsure if it was the cleansing agents or the contacts themselves. It wasn't dirty contacts, even new contacts would irritate my eyes. I stopped wearing them when I couldn't bear to keep them in for more than 4 hours.

This is only my own experience, but I'm quite certain that contacts are not a solution for everyone.

I had lasik when I was 30 (I think) I've been incredibly pleased with it.

Doesn't mean that isn't what people are calling a "standup".

More seriously, even if standup actually were 5 minutes like it should be according to theory, no interruption takes less than half an hour to recover from and resume flow.
For many crimes they just don't bother looking for you because you will eventually need to resolve the issue. This makes it seem like it is easier to hide than it is, but you're not really hiding. I guess what I am trying to capture is the difference in active vs. passive policing.

Have you ever tried to evade the law? You can't get a driver's license or nondriver's identification card, as the warrant prevents you from renewing or they stall you for arrest; you can't apply for social benefits, as you need ID; you can't take most jobs, as they are linked to your identity; and you can't get a passport and often can't leave the country. Going out can be hazardous as even if you don't need to provide ID you might get arrested for not doing so anyway, and social functions may request an ID either for serving alcohol or for admission.

If you do get out of the country, you'd have similar or worse problems in Canada, and Mexico is far less amenable to undocumented transients than it used to be. Going further south might be an option but you're now talking about relocating to a different culture at considerable expense. Unless you're a well-off murderer the cost-benefit is not in favor of this.

>So many of the "brands" on Amazon are not even brands, it's just made up words next to a generic imported product. Like "iGoEnergeeFan" or something similarly stupid.

Indeed, or the recent trend of naming your generic company with an ALL CAPS name, "VECTROMOX", as if that's somehow effective at differentiating your obviously fly-by-night operation.

>Those good ole' "produce cheaply overseas and markup in our stores" business models of American retailers have come right back around to bite them in the ass.

Good, imho. #firstworldproblem here but I loath America's rip-off economy. $25 for a t-shirt that cost $2 to make overseas, or $100 for a pair of pants that cost $5 to make. I try really hard to buy stuff that was either made in the US, or at least somewhere with high quality standards like Japan, Korea, Taiwan or Germany. It takes a non-trivial amount of extra time and work to do that though, especially on Amazon.
I'm not necessarily if translates into online social media, but at least in meatspace there's no shortage of social clubs where the high price tag is a feature not a bug. They're called country clubs.

re:Invent Roulette
As unpopular as it might be - I kinda like open offices for this reason. (work type dependent).

Having the 4x mission critical managers sitting in a cluster & overhearing each other's conversations did wonders for keeping everyone on the same wavelength - without meetings.

Was a bit of an eye opener how powerful that can be. 40 man team, insane yearly sprint-like pressure for 2.5 months solid. Everything continuously on fire basically...but it's fine as long as the center holds. Also had an interesting effect on team morale - they're a lot happier to charge into battle if they're confident leadership is unified.
I agree with your sentiment. I'm just too jaded to believe the government is capable to doing anything. I think I'm my best bet at staying alive and thriving.
For this to succeed, I think you'd need a company that provided boxes as a service. Instead of having to order anything and plug it in, you just sign up online, the same as today's social networks.

Here's the twist: the company (presumably a non-profit or social purpose corp) would also offer the ability to buy your box, at which point they mail it to you; when you plug it in, your existing data is copied to it and you begin to self-host instead.

This makes it easy to sign up for and try out, while also offering a path toward self-hosting, once you decide you like it and don't want to keep paying the monthly fee.
Regarding your video card, there wasn't an option to have it re-packed in an Amazon box?

Usually for items that will ship with external facing identifiable product information, they will give you the option (a checkbox) to have it packed inside an Amazon box...

I've got an Epson ink bottle printer. The bottles last for thousands of sheets, don't cost much, and don't dry out. I only print a couple of times a month and moved from a Brother printer because a set of four cartridges cost €120 and you couldn't use the scanner when any of the ink cartridges were empty.
I paid instantly for a yearly subscription (90 euros) because I really want the opportunity to support a project that keeps me in contact with my friends and interest groups and that doesn’t harvest me for my data. I’ve seen techies clamour for a subscription-based Facebook service for years... it’s clearly not in Facebook’s interest to pander to the opt-out-of-information-collection crowd, so I’m delighted somebody is providing an alternative and I’m willing to take the plunge and vote with my wallet.
If this was normalized, nobody would be panicking about the social ramifications. Put him into a normal middle and high school. Let his brain atrophy. Such is the price we pay.

I'm still a teenager, but I'm in the workforce, but I try to maintain some level of "kid-ness". I still do stupid stuff with my friends, and make out in parking lots. Both are possible, and if this guy is determined, he can skip a lot of the boring parts of life and get to the good stuff.
Lots of people do the equivalent of this, early college classes and then they go to a top tier school for undergrad. I think Reid Barton did this.

There are caveats, I know someone who finished the CS curriculum in high school, when he got to Berkeley the only credits he had left for his CS degree were non-CS, which bored him, so he just dropped out and started a startup. Seems fine now, as far as that goes, aside from the exodus from the bay area that the housing situation has forced on many of us...

Exactly. But all this tells you is that there was some added value that Facebook brought that made people sign up even when it didn't have critical mass. Currently, the only network I know of that might be in the right place to compete with Facebook is Instagram. Which is basically the same, but with more pictures of food.
It seems like there are free sites that do that already.
I've never done anything useful with an IDE as a Ruby developer. Why do IDEs like IntelliJ even exist? I personally don't have a need for them, and I refuse to understand that other people have different needs and wants.
There lies the trade off. Quality control / trust verification is hard, and you will have way more products available if you forego it. You’ll also have a ton of junk mixed in too.

I might try it, if they accept Bitcoin. Which I doubt they do. But I don't even see a payment link at https://wt.social/

Maybe you must try creating an account first.
Of course. I’m talking about for household essentials. Amazon has built a gigantic marketplace by instituting zero quality control. Target is a marketplace with much stricter quality control and a vastly smaller selection. If you’re fine with caveat emptor than Amazon is the better choice.
Thanks. I kinda remember it. But wanted fresh comments/suggestions as it's been a few years :)
