But they are also promoting getting rid of the existing water fountains, which typically are already using water that has been cleaned and filtered by their local system. If they succeed, you have to use their service instead of just leaning over and drinking. As adults, many of us do have water bottles, but very few children that I know do - they just drink from the fountains. Making it harder for kids to drink, while inflicting ads on adults who just want some water doesn't sound like a great business model to me.

Why is it the responsibility of private insurance companies to look after society’s most vulnerable?

I think it is a much more sensible arrangement that insurance companies are free to operate as they see fit and that the government be responsible for the well being of its poorest citizens.

Should grocery and clothing stores be required to feed and clothe the poor, respectively? To me, this feels like a shrinking of government duties onto businesses.
From the article:

> When you declare a Django model by subclassing from its Model base class, Django automatically creates a new relational database table for it.

That sounds convenient - but feels like too much implicit behavior for me. I almost always prefer a framework that lets (or forces) the user to explicitly specify operations.

Same with "import-time side-effects". When I find myself providing such a shortcut, I usually wrap it so the user must call it explicitly, to control what/when these effects happen.
We took Knights once with a 10-month-old. It made sense because we flew with our car seat. Apparently, they'll store the car seat for the ride home.

Now that we have two kids, and prefer to rent a car seat or use mass transit at our destination, we park at Logan. It costs about the same. (It also makes sense because we no longer live where Knight's services.)

I can’t imagine any circumstance other than a Ph.D program where someone spends 5+ years studying in depth some tiny area of science and practicing research. And without doing that I’m having trouble believing almost anyone will do serious research. There are a few people who did it but to me that is extraordinarily unlikely.

Machine learning from what? Existing dinosaurs? The data is gone, what you're suggesting is that some type of AI is going to literally create life from nothing. Considering we aren't capable of autonomously driving a car down the road without killing someone, we've got a while to go before that happens.
Each of the three things you mentioned is a misinterpretation of what I said, but apparently clarifying intent is "fudging", so I'm done here. I don't care to argue against strawmen for internet points, and I don't care to maintain bridges with antagonistic people.
None of this is unique to our generation though. We may feel that it is because the 1900s seem impossibly far back, but our great-grandparents faced many of the same issues. Factories polluted like crazy, outright corruption in politics, newspapers filled with propaganda or outright libel, corporations owning entire towns and paying their workers with "company scrip" instead of cash to keep them perpetually indebted. Drugs and alcohol were rampant back then too.

One thing that actually has immensely since then though is that society is measurably more accepting of women, people of color, LGBT people. So while we don't have everything fixed yet, I like to remember that we do have real social progress, so it's possible
Ugh. Then I'd have to use Bing for everything.
Isn't that obvious? There are laws against having HR files available to anyone, and some fabled company culture doesn't get to override that.
A more realistic scenario is "why is my insurance more expensive than the new lower rate that everyone else is now getting? I used to pay the same amount as everybody else."

If the models improve, you get lower costs provided there is robust competition in the industry. That's why people let insurers drive in their cars now with them via an app to get lower rates.

That said - the main issue that creates the Kafkaesque world you speak of is poor correlation analysis. In the short term the insurer doesn't suffer due to false positives. Over time, however, to grow their market base you would expect that they start to test whether their analysis is actually reducing risk. With ML this presents a problem because they may not actually know why profiles are high at some point.

Denying financing is different than not lowering insurance rates, to be sure, and would also be looked at differently. I'm having trouble deciding where the slope starts getting slippery here as I hate the idea of some bad week of lawn care causing financial stresses for so many reasons - but insurers also already do all of this with a smaller dataset.

I wouldn't assume net rate increases - but I'm not sure if that should impact our overall thinking on the problem.

you're probably right that it depends on the specific coverage. I recently moved to an apartment with an access controlled garage so I did some research to see how this would affect my premiums. in general I found that it doesn't do much for your overall premiums. I don't think my car insurance offers vandalism protection specifically, although I certainly hope it falls at least partially into some other category! I can certainly imagine that the company would change the price of that specific coverage quite a bit depending on where the vehicle is parked.

Conda works with a different, parallel ecosystem, whose main source of packages is managed by a single company (Anaconda Inc). That company validates, rebuilds, and possibly silently patches code, to provide their own packages.

pipenv brings simpler workflow to pip. pip leverages packages which are published by their authors onto pypi, which is managed by the Python Foundation.

I've never understood why it's allowed to give up "suing rights" in contracts. It is in the interest of the public that any law infringement gets investigated and the infringers punished.

In principle a lawsuit is just asking a neutral party to judge whether there indeed was a law breaking where I suspect there was one. Ideally, this is not a inherently hostile action that should be met with any negative consequences.

I know criminal and civil law are different beasts, but still the situation is analogous to renting out a room to someone in exchange for them promising not to report me to the police if I beat them up, else I can kick them out without notice.

It should be an inalienable right of anyone to report/sue for any wrongdoing against them. It should not be conditional on losing some (any) beneficial things.

"I agree I will not sue you even if I later find out that you did something illegal against me" should not be legal to be in a contract.
If I understand correctly, warrants are issued for a place to search and/or items to be seized. I don't think the criteria is actually naming a specific individual.

If it were, police would be prevented from executing warrants where evidence shows that stolen goods are being warehoused until they had an idea of who was doing the stealing, right?
Especially a well written and researched bug report. Many typical users lack the skill to do that, and a software developer would have an ample amount of it.
I used "stack" to name the LIFO logic sequence not an implementation idiom. Linked list, pointer into sequential memory array, or restaurant plates have a congruent dimension that "stack" abstracts over within the ordinary computing tradition.

To me, your observation of the non-composability of stacks seems related to the ability of push-down automata and turing machines to compute more complex inputs than the finite automata (and equivalents).

> Drawing on its massive store of customer data, Amazon plans on shipping you items it thinks you'll like before you click the purchase button. The company today gained a new patent for "anticipatory shipping," a system that allows Amazon to send items to shipping hubs in areas where it believes said item will sell well. This new scheme will potentially cut delivery times down, and put the online vendor ahead of its real-world counterparts.

IIRC, they now site the most frequently ordered items in smaller, more localized distribution centers for quicker/shorter shipping.
Not to mention that most companies seem to get off with nothing more than a slap-on-the-wrist type fine, if at all. It seems as if it's just become a cost of doing business.

I assume that the culture of employee activism or at least advocacy being encouraged and fostered by internal systems of communication was probably part of the selling point for a lot of people to begin with.

> If self driving cars are not legally required (ie because they are that much safer), or they are cheap people will continue to buy and own cars.

They will be cheaper. No licensing, insurance, maintenance, fuel, but still almost all of the convenience of a personal vehicle requiring only a short wait time.

> Don't forget that the self driving world you imagine is worse for the environment: all those cars going empty to a distant parking lot until you are done with work eat up a lot of energy.

That's not how it would work. If parking becomes necessary because network capacity is too high and utilization too low, the car would park in its immediate vicinity. We have lots of parking everywhere to accommodate far more cars than would be needed in a world with mostly self-driving cars.
That feels a bit like money laundering for targeting parameters.

I think that's not a bad thing. For big companies like that it is impossible to drive them out of the market with a competing company, so if you want to change it makes sense to do so from within. Especially since its such a powerful corporation they will always find people to replace the ones that leave, so your leaving doesn't actually help your cause all that much. Much better to stay inside and exert your power from within.

No bias there!

I'm sure someday it will be a thing but the infrastructure is not there. Or not here in my neck of the woods yet. We only have two maybe three EV charging stations in my entire province. Not that autonomous vehicles are all EV but I'm sure that's the direction they industry is heading and wants.

But to realistic, on this -13C day with icy roads I am not looking forward to an autonomous vehicles. I can't see an autonomous vehicle driving me on slippery narrow winding country roads. Half the time maps don't have the roads correctly mapped here, the road lines are covered in snow, no paved shoulder, roads are infrequently plowed and salted.

> Consider the average personal car is only in use 5% of the time.

I only use my toilets a small fraction of the day as well, would you suggest we crowdsource them for greater efficiency too?

Also this statistic presumes that cars work better with higher utilization and that's muddy at best. Sure, greater utilization is more efficient but it also means the cars go through parts much faster, require more oil, more fuel obviously. And of course the ride share companies aren't paying to maintain the cars that they are running into the ground.

Most people give up on the car at the first 5k estimate not realizing they just fixed/replaced the expensive parts which are now good for more years.

This solves many of GMs problems.

They don't have an easy means to rid themselves of an excessive number of dealerships. However a sharing system can effectively do that; fwiw I have little if any issues with the dealership model and i drive a TM3!

it also insulates them from having to make appealing vehicles, they have already proven they cannot do so in the sedan market and have effectively abandoned it.

snark aside, they are already experienced in selling to rental fleets and have put together packages for cars that suit that market very well while not appealing to regular buyers
Two different things here. The person I replied to said that every reddit was ignoring this specific article "I searched this article on reddit". My point was to show that that specific article was covered across 37 different subreddits. My conclusion would be that this specific NYT article didn't get much traction on any subreddit, due to the lack or relative upvotes.

That said, there are dozens of FISA posts on many of the political subreddits, typically linking to others sites, not the NYT article. The T_D has been very vocal about the FISA abuses, as they should be. Apparently T_D can't link to this specific article due to subreddit specific rules. So I can't really compare this specific NYT article. Plus comparing the # of upvotes across subreddits has a lot of other issues.

IMO, this recent abuse is due to the lack of transparency in the entire FISA process. There shouldn't be secret courts ordering secret wiretaps on Americans with no oversight. The whole program should be scrapped. Tell your reps to vote it down next time.
I have similar outlook at the future, we already have poor voting on people that have clearly no interest helping the poor.

I used to be really excited about tech prolonging life, but now i think it will be artificially made prohibitively expensive so the rich cast can hold on to their power even more.

Currently the power was lost when next generation was bad at managing their parent's empires... well I think we are quickly approaching techno dystopia.

I think you're missing the point. For the last 70 years American politics has promoted a set of policies that have made cities hard or impossible to navigate without cars. You don't have to be "40 miles from the nearest paved road" to experience this.

Now a lot of the same people that promoted and lobbied for these ideas are trying to sell a "quick fix" in the form of car sharing and other recurring revenue models.

There is no quick fix. The US needs a lot of public infrastructure investment before not owning a car is viable for the majority of people. Uber is not affordable compared to buying a $500 used car from Craigslist if you commute every day and does not solve the problem of navigating big box store "shopping centres" as a pedestrian.
As a computer science (Informatics) student, I shy away from any path in a prove that makes me make some kind of statement about primes. They are the death of every approach they are involved in, to me.

This doesn't actually go against what's being said.

Unexamined feelings are still felt. I'm still the only one who can tell you with 100% accuracy what I'm feeling.

Even if you're technically wrong about what you're feeling, there's no way for me to verify that you're wrong. You are still the sole arbiter of absolute truth on that matter.

Because people love to read into things that aren't there. Apparently, I have a very threatening face when I'm concentrating on something and I look kind of angry. I'm not. And it's kind of exhausting to have people try and tell you what you're feeling when they have no clue as to what's actually going on inside of your head.
