Thank you for taking the time to read the article and sharing your feedback.

Noise is added for what is called plausible deniability. Note that messages themselves do not contain any user-identifier. We take extra measures to strip request headers not needed by the server to avoid extra information that could be used for implicitly linking messages[1]. Possibility of linking messages based on network fingerprinting (ex: IP - which we do not log) still exists and is an open concern which we will solve in the next version. This at most makes it possible for us to learn that these 3 domains are visited by the same person, again - given that the list of domains are from shortlisted top-news domains, it is safe to assume that they do not contain any PII.

That said, it is not the strongest model we apply -- due to resource-constrains we have not updated to strongest models like we do on more sensitive data - via HumanWeb[2]. We will soon do the changes on a couple of dimensions: a) each domain as separate message, right now this introduces un-wanted spatial correlations, and b) send the domain through the proxy network HPN[3].

I have some Soviet propaganda stories which were painfully clunky, Brazilian "spiritualism" books which I'm not sure what to do with, and a State-approved history of China.

In all of them, the Esperanto was quite good but the content is just so clunky. It was like Communist Bernstein Bears.

It masks the complexity of your statement. I know in ruby we had the same issues with the “try()” method. Our rule was, do or do not, there is no try. :)

But that there are economic expansion without inflation depends on globalization. We are importing goods from low wage countries. In other words we are importing low inflation until trade barriers stop that.

Ie central banks try to operate like they control wage inflation. But wage inflation is a global market nowadays.
the biggest wins w Kotlin, imo, are the sensible defaults - variables are non-nullable & collections are immutable by default. These eliminate entire classes of runtime exceptions and bugs (respectively).
The idea behind not paying is that it makes ransomware unprofitable and people stop doing it. A loophole for saving lives would cause ransomware distributers to target their attacks in ways that endanger lives.
I learned that Kotlin has a native compiler:

does this mean end user can run without JRE? Does Java proper have something similar?

Max is done and will likely never fly again as designed.

The real question is will Boeing re-design it as doing so will be an admission of guilt.
I have no idea where the stock is that they're planning on sending me. If the question is "what carrier service do I feel best about based on my anecdotes?", I am better than Amazon. If the question is "based on all the places from which Amazon could fulfill my order [or combinations of outstanding orders], which one(s) are likely to satisfy the constraints given our large base of actual carrier performance, and which one of those is optimal?", it seems laughable that I'd have any hope of answering that better than Amazon.

(I oversee Logistics software for another e-commerce player. Our network is vastly simpler than Amazon's and yet I'm quite sure we're better at it than our 99.5th percentile customer.)
Can someone summarize what they did? Just when I think the article is going to tell me - it breaks into the life story of some guy from Seattle.
The problem with any big book is that, at the end, the author has you over a barrel: either you loved it and the author is a genius, or you hated it and you are a sucker. Lots of people claim to love long, ponderous books just to avoid being the sucker or for fear of appearing unsophisticated.

I prefer great authors who were serialized, e.g. dostoevsky. The works are brilliant, but the individual chapters read well, so you rarely feel like you have to just slog through the damned thing.
The quality of the content strongly depends on the video material. Leaves in the wind on the background of a video can quickly cause a drop in video quality. Animation, on the other hand, is usually fine with Youtube's presets.
The result also seems to depend on the input format and how well Youtube's software deals with it. Many old videos made in a special Flash format suddenly turned choppy and ugly when Youtube changed something on their backend and as far as I know, that has been the case ever since.

As for HEVC, not supporting is makes sense. The cost of licensing all of Youtube's encoder and decoder systems would probably make a small dent in server cost; more than storage for H.264 content of the same length and quality would cost. For example, some versions of H.265 have a $0.02 cost per disc/title. Serving 5 billion videos (titles) each day, such a codec could easily sink the company. Of course, this is just one example of the codec licensing, and the pricing depends per region (which adds another layer of paperwork) so real pricing won't be that steep, but it's not going to be cheap to switch to HEVC playback.

Youtube has moved to VP9 and is seemingly going for AV1 as its preferred future video codec. VP9 and HEVC are pretty close when it comes to compression performance in many real world videos.

I honestly did know or even expect that Apple devices don't support VP9, but I don't blame Google for sticking to an open codec instead of giving in to Apple and their bet on HEVC for corporate contacts, especially when the codecs are this close in regards to performance.
Boeing is one of the pillars of the American economy and the market as well. Dumping the stock will hurt pretty much every fund that invested on it, plus Dow will plunge just because of this one stock if it's getting dumped.

Boeing, as well as many other firms, are just too big to fail suddenly.
100% this, I’ve been homeless and slept on the bus or subway to stay warm (and safe) and not once did someone try to help me. And now I’m years out of being in that situation and I am part of the same problem, I almost never take public transportation and use Lyft or my car to get around.
I was looking into API to make an app for avoiding this plane, then I thought maybe I should not upset those who can kill hundreds of people and expect to get away with it.

I am not a nervous flyer, I even used to do paragliding but I am pretty determined to wait few years before flying on one of those. One thing I learned about paragliding was that you must trust your equipment or don’t fly.
When the notifications say 'In Transit' they aren't passing through a FedEx building, but rather are sending GPS ping notifications every 12 hours. Your package was most likely on a slower mode of transportation such as rail or a trailer. This is done to show progress on slower routes because sometimes there could be a couple days between a hub touch.
The most glaring one in response to this symptom is to offer at least some public bath options.
It's really good work !
> The big problem here is that Amazon no longer offers you the ability to pick the delivery date. They'll tell you when your package will arrive, and you'll suck it up

But this isn't true. You can choose which day you want your package delivered. That's the point of setting your "Amazon delivery day". What am I missing?

Shelter bed usage in Seattle runs at 90% as of last year, with low reported use rate before that being an artifact of bad reporting rather than reflecting actual conditions [1].

In both cases Google chose to follow the law of the region.

In one of those cases, it was most profitable to continue selling under the constraints imposed by the law and in the other case it wasn't profitable to do so.

Boeing is one of the most heavily subsidized companies in the world -- right alongside Airbus. They are a strategic asset to the United States far beyond their market value. The market knows this, hence why their stock is not being hammered.
That just seems like a miscommunication/lack of understanding. People mod car engines all the time to have more power (sometimes several times more than original), and they do so with the understanding that it does affect longevity negatively.
The problem with MMT is this: It might work if you spend the money on infrastructure. But who's going to be making the spending decisions? Congress is. Do you trust Congress to spend the way MMT says they should? I don't, not by a long shot. Congress will say "Free money? Great! Ponies for everybody!" or something equally wasteful.

MMT might work (though I doubt it). MMT being run by Congress terrifies me.
The thing about the situation actually described was everything happened on a fairly large scale but it was far from given - a lot of transactions failed for various reasons not necessarily implying the FBI was making a systematic effort to stop them. Indeed, Krebs was making a systematically effort to stop them and they just kept going.
If one had watched too many Hollywood movies (where single points of failure are exploited ruthlessly by the Bad Guys), one might conclude that Krebs is far better off if more people are involved in this project, and that he should delegate at his earliest possible convenience (and maybe this is it?)
The price of dumb TVs has also fallen dramatically.
I completely agree. I'll make that change soon.

Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, there is an opposite view. I will add a few observations about the opposite view:

1) It's full of invective and straw-man arguments. It accuses Christine O'Donnell of not having read the Establishment Clause, for example. And it makes a completely irrelevant reference to "old antebellum slave oligarchies," even though it was the free New England states that were the ones that had state-supported churches.

2) It makes tenuous arguments. The "words 'separation of church and state' are not in the text," the article concedes. But "the idea of separation is" present. Of course! In support of that view, it points to the fact that the Constitution prohibits religious tests for office. "If government can't require its officials to support a church," it reasons, "is there a serious argument that church and state are not separate?" Of course, the prohibition on religious tests is entirely consistent with the existence of a plurality of public religions.

It also pulls a "??? Profit!" over the most significant issue: what does "no law respecting an establishment of religion" mean? The article states that it "mean[s] that not only no church but no 'religion' could be made the official faith of the United States." That reads the phrase as "no law establish[ing] [a] religion." But if that's what the Framers meant, they would have written that. That's how they wrote the rest of the first amendment "no law ... prohibiting ... or abridging ...."

3) As with the present Supreme Court precedent on the subject, the article rests almost entirely on the letter of Thomas Jefferson. But Jefferson (a) was not a Framer; and (b) was a radical wingnut. What he thought about things carries some weight, but not all that much. (I would add that almost everyone who invokes Jefferson's view to interpret the First Amendment would recoil in horror at invoking his views to interpret the Second.)
The secular problem with this:

How do we make sure that people aren't forced into this?
It's true in my experience as well. I am not a fan of Fedex as they have subjected me to a myriad of unintended adventures. However, once I had to mail a time-sensitive RFP to Canada and Fedex got it there well ahead of their specified time; I tried UPS and USPS and they both shrugged when asked about delivery guarantees for this shipment.
Boeing will be fine. By the end of next year everyone will have forgotten.

Even if Boeing wasn't fine, it would be fine, because the government would just bail them out.

Investors know this and ignore the drama.
I'll remember that the next time a homeless guy tries to attack me on a run, like one did this past weekend. I should give him flowers and kisses instead of punching him in the face.
Mental illness has been on display in the media 24/7 for quite some time, so functional crazy is not a pipe/pill dream after all....

If any hardworking individuals were given the same accountrements in a high-cost city (permanent housing with housekeeping), there would be a huge waiting list. With a possible impending retirement crisis, able-bodied may not be the best term for qualification.

As an aside, recycling is not profitable anymore, but the pre-existing obligations prevent dramatic or even drastic change on that front. This is no different.

If I were to throw something on the wall for homelessness, I'd say keep it simple and build 3 new regional cities in the west, central and east with a clean slate design and throw up a sign that says "give us your tired, your poor" and see what happens. That way, several states, cities and counties are pooling their resources/budgets, you give everyone a red/white/blue moment, but in the true American Spirit, you make it someone elses problem overnight (aka. Make it disappear) for something you were going to pay for anyway.

If we limit "extreme economy/political/welfare/climate experiments" to only these 3 regional areas, we may actually get lucky and build something resilent enough to be a runway for future generations, while being strong enough to be a safety net for the current gens.

I say all of this in jest, but if it becomes a question of millions of old people dying with dignity, instead of homeless in the streets, there will be enough "zeros" to build it (nimby lingo).
"too big to fail" they said.

"whatever it takes they will fix it".

I'm personally glad this model is getting shelved. You'd just have a bad taste flying in one of those regardless of tweaked the design is or how good the software is going to be.

I'm also glad this is happening because it's a win for humanity and a loss for bureaucracy.

I have full confidence that the next model will be rock solid and much better overall.
> It AMAZES ME how unreported it goes that they are doing this right now.

It don't think it's a secret. Why do you think it'd be a major story?

> nobody bothered to ask.. 'Why?'

Because they're doing logistics... everyone knows that. Have you never had an Amazon logistics person deliver you parcel?
Well that's just like your opinion man. Infinite Jest is a masterpiece imo.

My favorite book of all time and oddly prescient in many ways.

For instance, I'm aware of at least one startup developing the vid-chat masks Wallace wrote up with a straight face. See also snapchat filters.
But unlike the others, the max has been grounded for almost a year. It’s not just a news cycle, there are people who have never given two thoughts about the aircraft they fly on that now remember “that max plane” or “that 7-something plane” or even just boeing as being the one that keeps crashing.

I fully expect websites to pop up that will take a flight number as input and tell people if there is a MAX plane involved.

They won’t shake this one off easily.
No that's not the point of GDPR, it's about choice and control over data.

You're free to not share your email if you don't want to read the report. The rest of us can make our own decision.
There's also no guarantee that paying gets you your data back. Either because the random holders don't care, or because a white hat killed off some part of the ransom holder's communication channel.
> Naturally, our holding does not cover individuals who do have access to adequate temporary shelter, whether because they have the means to pay for it or because it is realistically available to them for free, but who choose not to use it.

What if they have the ability to earn the means to pay for shelter, but choose not to do it? Or they have the means to relocate to somewhere where they could afford to pay for shelter but choose to remain in an area with a higher cost of living? IMHO it's a mistake to focus solely on the the current state and not the choices which led there.

Commercial banks don't create money, they create loans. And when loans are zeroed out they no longer exist. There's interest that is earned as revenue and eventual profit, but only the Treasury creates money.

Money doesn't work on faith. Money is debt. The currency issuer takes on debt(the US government.) The debt is coined/minted/printed to fulfill some government budget. These dollars go to people to build/work/service the programs. The government coerces people into working by raising a tax. If the government runs a deficit, then the private sector has a net positive gain. If the government runs a surplus, then the private sector has a net loss(e.g., austerity.)

You don't want to restrict the creation of money if the economy is expanding. You want the money supply to grow or else you will have deflation.
Looks like it'll be 300 smackeroos for a mid-range TV for some time.

It's just the definition of mid-range that shifts - heading to 50" LCD nowadays it seems ...
Off the top of my head? Ask a system service that has the privilege to change it for you after authenticating you.
Given old inventory, you can lose more than 2 years. For example, the chromebit CS10 got a design award in 2015 and can still found on asus' website with a link for where to buy.. About 1 year of support remaining.
I think when you have a mapping of keys to values you really need to have an understanding of what keys are possible (so you don't have an exception accessing the map).

Java enum classes work well for enumerating those, so I end up creating those. These work great so if I use the enum in an if-else sequence the compiler knows if I covered all possible values.

For mappings I instead add a constructor to my enum class so that I can setup the mapping as an instance variable.

Costco sells buckets of emergency food with 20ish year shelf lives. I think at one point they had a year-long supply bundle available, best I can find now is 1-month (for one person) at $114 (though it's out of stock).

https://www.costco.com/all-emergency-food.html

So, if/when that's back in stock, $114 x 12 x (# of people in household) is your price for a year of food. Can probably go a little lower if you allow for some lower-calorie rationing (1800 instead of 2000 will probably keep everyone alive and fairly healthy, if not thriving, and for some people might still be more than sufficient). Might want some multivitamins or something, too.

Though you've gotta figure out something for water, separately.

I guess maybe then you eat a month of it per non-emergency year and buy another month's worth every year, to rotate through the supply well before the expiration but while maintaining (about) 1-year's supply of food at all times. That way you're not just wasting the money by putting the food on a shelf until it goes bad, and you're never eating food that's very close to its expiration date. Unclear whether the food's healthy enough that eating it for 1/12 of all meals in a year, indefinitely, wouldn't cause noticeable harm versus whatever diet it's replacing. Or whether it's tolerable enough to eat in a non-emergency situation that you'd be able to convince all the other members of your household to commit to a plan like that :-)
Will your paraglider fit into your carryon? :)
There are many factors such as gas prices that need to be considered as well when it comes to RV sales for example. Maybe people are now able to fly and stay in hotels instead. Maybe more people know that the best days of owning an RV are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.
Regulatory compliance is an interesting argument. I can imagine many cases where a device is legal only because the firmware implements certain restrictions that the user might desire to remove but should not.

Off the top of my head:

1. the emissions example that you make. The VW dieselgate is essentially about this; the users may want to switch to a 'more dirty' firmware because that gets better performance or mileage; but the vehicle inspection system (in countries where that is a thing) wants to ensure that vehicles with such modifications are not allowed to drive.

2. digital radios that might technically be able to receive and transmit over a wider frequency range, but are legal to use or sell only because they have restricted the 'forbidden' ranges, limited the maximum transmitting power to the level that doesn't require a permit, etc.

3. scooters and other vehicles which are technically more capable, but are sold in a certification/tax regime as "speed less than X", which is enforced in firmware; and modifying it to remove that restriction may be illegal.

4. drones obeying a 'no-fly' zone blacklist and refusing to fly near airports - again, a firmware restriction that some users might plausibly want to remove.
I bet they will stop building the 737 max and start building the 737”new model that is the max with some changes that can be retrofitted”. Like a larger stabilizer, longer frame, or maybe something easier. But something that lets them say it’s a “new” model but keeps 99% of the production line untouched and can be negotiated with the existing buyers.
We’ll see how it works in some weeks.

Points against charging extra for public transit during congested times.

1. It’s much better for someone traveling during congestion to use public transport than to use a private vehicle.

2. Traveling during congestion almost always is accompanied by increased travel times —- a natural incentive to adjust travel times.

3. Keeping fare prices consistent and simple makes the system easier for everyone to understand and less confusing to new users.
How arrogant to comment that these hospital systems should have been secured by now, given that WannaCry has hit hospitals in the past couple of years. Shows a lack of understanding of the economics of security. I agree with the point made by others about not negotiating with terrorists. Outlawing payments would not prevent the attacks, though, the prisoner's dilemma will remain. I am not an economist, but as long as the value of the assets being rescued is greater than the value of the money handed over, the trade will occur. At some point, yes, the ransom will be too great, but the parties will continue to seek the path of least resistance.
