If there were an ability to resell on a secondary market it'd probably level out like you say. If you sell me something at a super low price, I can turn around and resell it for a typical price, which would usually level this out (effectively being more players in the market). But with todays "everything is a service" market with 50 pages of terms and conditions, it doesn't work.
I guess I just find it hard to believe there's faulty hardware across 3 different models and graphics cards rather than a bug in the driver.

What you're referring to is the three degrees of price discrimination.

https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/042415/what-are-dif...

First Degree: This type of pricing strategy takes place when businesses can accurately determine what each customer is willing to pay for a specific product or service and selling that good or service for that exact price. (ie car sales)

Second Degree: Companies price products or services differently based on the preferences of various groups of consumers. (ie Costco vs Whole Foods)

Third Degree: Companies price products and services differently based on the unique demographics of subsets of its consumer base, such as students, military personnel, or seniors. (ie flights)

The purpose here is for a company to identify the maximum consumer surplus it can acquire. As commented below, this surplus also changes based on supply/demand. Supply/demand change based on competitive products or substitute products.
I assume so, but the contracts are private. It certainly looks like the world wide license that Via would have had was split into 'China' and 'not China', hence how difficult these chips are to get a hold of. That being said, it's pretty much impossible to know for sure.

Yeah, I wanted to give an example and disclaim redoing that specific discussion if possible. But just to provide a different view, what you're saying is fine theoretically, but in practice often people see the insurance situation as "some bad costly thing X can happen to me, I want to pay reasonable money to not have to eat the whole cost if it happens". Now if insurance companies had some super-accurate data and models on you (a futuristic perspective here), they could just infer if X will happen to you and take some free money if it won't and refuse insurance/make you pay everything plus premium otherwise. One similar case nowadays is health and old age pension, though these tend to be very regulated or state-run (i.e., tax funded). The point is that the scope of things where this applies can become very wide in the future.

Someone in the linked comment tree said "dispersion of the cost in wider population" is "not insurance, but a social solidarity scheme" and you may agree. But it's possible that we are currently running some "social solidarity schemes" only because of the imperfect information.
Probably many people in the middle of a marathon regret the decision. But, afterwards they've run a marathon, and those who haven't, haven't.
I'd like that too, although the pricing steps are an interesting challenge: You want to make the full amount of regular users, but don't want the casual users to think "if I click this icon now to touch one file, it's gonna cost me 20 bucks", so you might need even more granular steps. E.g. a month costs the same as 1/10th of a year, a day costs the same as 1/8th of a month -> if you use it >8 days in a month it caps to the month, if you use it >10 months it caps to the year. Kind of like some public transport network cards work.

Shame should be a key element in combating this behavior. The guy from this article shouldn't have his username or profile pic pixelated, we should be able to see exactly who this is.
I agree with you, but I actually used the brute force for data recovery.

I had a NAS with a 22 characters passphrase that I had up and running for years and eventually forgot the password to. When I set it up I practiced the password enough times that I was sure I would never forget it so I never stored it anywhere. After years of never rebooting the NAS parts of the passphrase eventually got blurry and when I was about to move I realized I couldn't remember it anymore.
I didn't really have anything of high value stored on it, but it kind of became a pet project to try to "crack" into it again. Together with Hashcat and the extracted header I eventually managed to brute force it after a couple of weeks :)

I think you have a misunderstanding of what proprioception is. Proprioception is the built in feedback in your body together with the right processing which makes you know how your body is oriented and how is it moving. This is independent of sight and touch.

Imagine a robot arm. You have the armature and a beefy electric motor on it. Your task is to make it do some manipulation task. If all you can do is send voltage to the electric motor you will never succeed. You don't know where the arm is at any moment. But even if you would know where it started from you couldn't know how much it moved exactly just by knowing what voltage you sent to it. This is because minute variation in loading and tinny errors would accumulate into huge uncertainty in such an open-loop system. So basically you need something to close the loop. A rotational encoder on your robot arm, or muscle strain measurements on a living creature.

But just having the sensors is not enough. If you want to make the (robot or human) to touch a particular point in space you need to know how to turn the sensor readings into a transformation. I would be lying if I would tell you I know how exactly the human brain does this, but in robotics it's just a few transform matrixes multiplied together.
I think a number of US news sites (e.g. LA Times) still block EU traffic.

Furthermore, GDPR has caused a massive decrease in the number of newly registered domains that are successfully recognized as spam:

> Prior to the implementation of GDPR, security researchers were able to identify and block 1.8 million newly registered malicious domains in October of 2017 alone. Fast forward to February of 2019 and that number drops to less than 160,000.[0]

And it has caused a major annoyance for the general public, who mindlessly consent to almost every "consent" prompt they are given.[1]

Companies are also at the mercy of their regional government when it comes to compliance. A company in Greece was fined 150,000 euros, not because the law made it illegal to process data in the way they did, but because the reason they provided for processing was the "wrong" one.[2]

> PWC asked its employees for permission to process their personal data when it should have used a different legal basis (combination of contract, legal obligations and legitimate interest). [(2)]

In effect, their effort to follow the law made them break the law, even though their actions were legal under Article 6, Section 1 of the GDPR.[3] This flies in the face of the EU's language in 2018, where they suggested that companies attempt to follow the "spirit of the law" rather than to worry about dotting i's and crossing t's.

Oddly enough, regulators seem to be pleased with this outcome of seemingly arbitrary enforcement.

This; and - we don't need to hear the rationale every time. My first company kept global css in a repo for all our projects to use, and we didn't need a cookie for our thought leadership. It's fine if you're proud of your design team but don't claim to have invented reusable UI.
It's actually a pretty crowded market at this point (I work at a competitor but have worked professionally with their data). The distance-covered sort of stats come from tracking data (usually derived optically from multiple cameras, giving locations of every player and the ball at 20hz or so), which Opta didn't offer directly until their merger with STATS.

The list is fine, the title is misleading: these are not projects every programmer should try, only the ones that want a more serious challenge than their usual. For many programmers these challenges are too difficult and a complete waste of time, as a certain psychologist was saying IQ is something you cannot train and IQ is generally telling how fast you can learn new things; with an IQ that is not enough, that time goes to infinite. Programming is now accessible to so many people and programmers are so diverse, enough have an IQ low enough to contradict the title.
Good luck with people like me. As ypu know, luks per default allows over 8 megabytes of key, so, i just make a dev/urandom file that is up to the byte filling the top default keysize, which means a password of over 8 million characters, of which none or very few at best are found via the keyboard. I use at the minimum 8 million chars on all my luks devices. And I've set the key stretching to take above 15 mins to unlock, even with the right password, so good luck with John the ripper.

It seems you're thinking of interaction in the context of, e.g., a work environment where efficiency is of capital importance. This is one kind of interaction, yes. But there are others.
I just spent almost an hour reading the drafts in question and converting documents back and forth to provide an English translation and a summary of what exactly the proposed changes are in a comment below, and this makes me a bit sad since it means the effort was mostly wasted.

This is not an election story or a random politician drafting a bill, but a draft by the relevant ministry of the elected government in Germany. It raises important questions about the relationship between large multinational companies and law enforcement in a country other than the US, with quite a bit of nuance and potential for in-depth discussion.

Price discrimination happens all the time currently, already, and has forever. Whether you know it is happening or not, everyone is still going to have a different price they are willing to pay; sure, maybe people will, as a whole, care more about not paying more in the future, but how much they care will still vary between people, and that will be priced in.
Tranfer learning is a form of this, where you train the first half of a neural net over a huge set of data, then take a much more specific task and train just a bit more by adding some layers, and you get great sometimes industry leading results. Look up Google's BERT project, trained generically on English texts and then you can reuse that part in many different tasks like sentiment analysis or entity recognition or translation. An amazing way to leverage Googles compute and data access and do cool things even as a single developer.

Just a word of warning here: my dad thinks along similar lines.

He's extremely self-centered. Anything good that happens to him is his doing, and anything bad is someone else's fault. And he has zero empathy.

After he had his third affair and my mother divorced him, my my brothers and I gradually cut ties with him. He is just not pleasant to be around.

He doesn't understand this. He thinks he is "owned" some love, after all the money and time he spent on us. He thinks my mother manipulated us (it's always someone else's fault).

I know this because after 10 years not talking to him, I allowed him back into my life. But it was out of pity and a bit of a sense of duty, so he could meet his grandson. I don't love him and my siblings positively hate him. He doesn't know my nephews, and probably never will.

A fair question. Depends on how you define touch. But probably the answer is yes, you can propriocept things you don't touch.

Suppose you were to anesthetize all the nerves leading to your skin. If you define touch in a way that's limited to skin interacting with stuff outside the body, then that would neutralize your sense of touch.

But according to the article, there are "piezo2" receptors embedded in muscle fibers. They can tell you how much the muscle is stretched or contracted. So even without using touch or sight, you could tell whether (say) your elbow is bent or straight based on information coming from your biceps and triceps muscles.

One could imagine a body that doesn't have this and works by some combination of dead reckoning (where the brain knows it pulled on the muscles this much, therefore the limb must have moved that much, and keeps a running total), sight, and cues from how the limbs are interacting with the outside world. But the article says it isn't just that. Instead, the brain is getting direct information from muscles.

You could, though, make a case that touch should be generalized and this should be included in it. The article says piezo2 receptors are used both in touch and in muscles. If you wanted, you could define touch to include sensations within the body, where this part of this muscle is touching this other part of the same muscle and feeling that.

No, the actual issue with so-called "rape culture" is the way it enables predators by providing them with cover, plausible deniability, social support etc. etc. That's why male-hierarchical and supremacist societies like we see in many places outside the West are a huge problem. (And they hurt males also, since sexual predation often targets them too - much like we'd see in the stereotypes about prison rape in the U.S. It's not homosexuality in the modern Western sense but sexually predatory behavior that's masking as homosexuality. The underlying dynamics are exactly the same as when females are targeted.)

you're grossly underestimating the absolute ingenuity of 7-10 billion people jostling against each other for status. even if people were taxed such that net income was exactly the same for everyone, higher earners would still try to claim superior status from it.

and that theoretical limit of perfect, simultaneous, accurate information is akin to the heat death of the universe, and really not worth practical (as opposed to theoretical) discussion. for all practical purposes, at the very least there are rate limits related to the propogation of and reaction to perfect info, not to mention all the ways people will actively obstruct it.

Where are you getting this overly broad statement from? Don't imply your own particular experience is what even comes close to being the case in other situations. People are different. What floats your boat or my boat is not universal or even close to that. There are plenty of people doing plenty of interesting things (or for that matter ordinary things) that are way more exciting than 'the kids'. And no the answer is not to pour energy into 'making your kids project more interesting' either. I'd even say it's the opposite. Don't feel you need to hand feed kids the experience. A parent has many responsibilities not just giving 100% to their children (or even close to that) the way I see it (and once again from my experience going through that with children).

Now that said sure if I worked at a job that I didn't enjoy or did unimportant work that was boring I'd probably think it's pretty exciting and find kids very interesting.

Why has this sort of article become anathema?
Every hotel or airbnb you use has (with near certainty) a "used" mattress.
Women just have to learn to deal with such men. As the current top comment says, she was first cat called at age 6. So women learn early that there are men after them.

I don't mean it as victim blaming or shrugging it off, either. It is in a way a sad fact of life. On the other hand, I personally think there is too much emphasis on the downside of being attractive, and not a lot on the upside.

Personally, to be honest, I also think about a rich white woman walking through a poor village in a third world country. She'll be swarmed by beggars, but is she really oppressed?

As another commentator answered, men typically experience nothing of that. Zero, zilch, nada - no interest by other people at all. I am not convinced that is the better side of the deal. The usual comment will be "talk to women" - I have talked to women who would be bothered if nobody would notice them on the street. So there is that.

To point to another example: we learn to lock our doors, don't show our valuables around, and so on. Not because everybody else is a thief, but because a few people are thieves after our valuables. It sucks, but outrage about it doesn't really help against it. Not do draconian laws, it seems.

On the internet, there are presumably over 3 billion people, so if you are fishing for predators, you can easily attract some, even if their general prevalence in the population is low. Even a "horde" would be few in relation to the several billion total.

Another issue, of course, is how to explain it to young girls. I am really not sure what to tell my daughter yet.
I'd say that, generally speaking, we have a moral responsibility not to use any skills we might possess to cause harm to others.

Beyond that, yes. I taught myself to program, and I am still learning. I taught myself to draw and paint, and I am still learning. I taught myself to write fiction, and I am still learning. I learned these skills because I enjoy creating through them, and creating things is what I've found makes my life worth living. I create for fun and for profit (necessary to survive) and, yes, to help others—but if you think you can cast moral aspersions on me or anybody else because we aren't pursuing those three outcomes in a proportion you personally find acceptable, my recommendation for you is to take a step back and get some perspective.

It might not come to you immediately. Likely, you will have to work at it.
There are differences between the sexes, but they are not the ones described here. These are gender differences. There's probably some fuzzy overlap, but the article doesn't cover it.
Honestly? Enjoy it while you can! You might well have to put work on the back burner for a couple of years -- kids that age are a full time job! although it gets easier once they are at school.

I say enjoy it because firstly, you never know what challenges life will bring. But soon enough, they'll be in high school and then you'll be packing them off to college and you'll have plenty of time on your hands again for work & projects.
