Assam NRC has cost 1.3 thousand crore and Assam is 3% of the entire population. This government doesn't have funds to run day to day operations (it has delayed payment of taxes to states), where will it bring so much money?

Also why is it needed? Because government could not do any good work. Economy is in a free fall, unemployment rate is highest in 45yrs

> If mineral companies could provided better safer environments there would be less harm from mining and everyone could go about their business blind to the costs of mining

Running an unsafe mine is a choice. A choice to drive down standards so you can drive down prices and win market share. The correct mechanism for paying for safety is higher market prices, by removing unsafe operators from the market and fining their profits.

It's also reasonable to make sure the workers are allowed to organize their own safety, usually through a union. These kinds of historic horrific fatalities were part of the drive for unionization in the first place.

If you look to the past (1945-1980) the general situation was improving at an unbelievable pace by an absurd magnitude. Resources were abundant and there was a lot that needed to be done, life got better very quickly.

It is very hard to be antagonistic in such circumstances - what is there to fight over, really?

It is possible that resources are getting scarce again and old battle lines are rediscovered as nations, classes and tribes restart old squabbles. There is less cheap oil per capita, cities are getting cramped and the radical change technology bought in the 90s and 2000s is slowing down so it isn't obvious that there are easy opportunities still opening up on that front.

It is.

India follows jus sanguinis (citizenship by right of blood) as opposed to the jus soli (citizenship by right of birth within the territory). The state cannot just assume that a person has the Right of blood.
It's the same reason the median radiologist in France will earn $150,000 while radiologists in the US can easily earn four to six times that depending on location. I know a radiologist in the middle of nowhere - one of the poorest states in the US, small city - earning over half a million per year, or roughly 15 times the median full-time income there. In major cities they can get up around a million dollars per year.

The healthcare industrial complex racket is a wealth transfer from everybody else to a million people working overly compensated jobs in the healthcare sector, from admin to doctors to nurses to IT workers to insurance salespersons.

Everyone complains about the wasted money in the military industrial complex. The healthcare industrial complex is 5x worse when it comes to that, or roughly a minimum of $1 trillion in overspending. The reason there are so few suggesting spending cuts in healthcare, is because there would be a never-ending line of strikes if you attempt to slash pay. The Democrat candidates for President for example all know we have a vast overspending problem in healthcare, they know taxes on the middle class have to go up to match Europe (for the same reason their taxes are so high), and salaries have to go way down in the healthcare field to similarly match Europe, and yet none of them dare say it.

Nitpick, but the bass part does not always play the root of a chord in the proper sense - "inversions" (which are actually very common) are precisely those chords where the bass is playing some note other than the root. What is true however is that the bass part provides the broadest level of "structure" in a piece of music that can be directly read in the score. Notes in other parts are always (at some basic structural level, disregarding further elaboration) chosen based on how they "relate" to the bass according to the rules of counterpoint.

The "thoroughbass" is a historic way of thinking about the "accompaniment" of a piece of music that's based on these principles; a "thoroughbass part" writes down chords by "annotating" a bass line with intervals, and music pieces can be written as "lead line(s) plus thoroughbass part" in a way that's comparable to a modern lead sheet but a lot more theoretically founded.
Amazon should be doing more due diligence on checking out who their partners are and what they're selling. Blindly accepting everybody without knowing who they are and then randomly banning them based on customer complaints sounds like a very unreliable and dishonest way of doing business.
Yep, and goes to show that the intricacies of character encoding need to be more well-understood by developers, instead of the incredibly small subset of Unicode Wizards leading the way and everyone else (me included) barely keeping up.

It might end up true on average, but my home country in central/eastern Europe (Slovakia) is definitely getting warmer. Long harsh winters of the childhood are gone (having snow 3 months in a row feels surreal these days), ticks and other creepers which were not present in the area I grew up are not very common (altitude cca 750m).

I think what most people have trouble realizing is that global warming indeed is a chaotic shift in many weather patterns and only overall average is rising. Ie it might just rain more during summer due to changed water circulation, which will take average yearly temperature down. Most people equate global warming with less snow during winter and heat waves in the summer and imagine it as a equal rise of say +2 all over the place, spread over whole year.
What I meant was that Brouwer doesn't need lawless sequences; all the results are valid with lawful sequences only. He just didn't know that because he didn't know that lawful sequences can be undecidable. You can call it arbitrary, but it doesn't have to be random, it just needs to be unknowable, which is the case even if it's chosen by a computational rule. It is true that most of the sequences of the kind you presented are not computable, but I don't think any result of Brouwer's is affected.

I was specifically referring to my example doing strictly hard real time stuff.

What you are describing looks more like a regular software and can be more cost effective implemented in any higher level language then C.

On a side note while I do not know very much about Rust beyond some main concepts I did couple of experiments with decent size example and compile speed made me turn away from it. When/if significantly improved I might be more interested working with it.

EDIT: added "higher level language then C" instead of "higher level language" to make more clear

> How is a user supposed to verify the infrastructure?

This is a bit outside of my league and thus might be completely irrelevant, but Signal does something interesting in this area: https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/

> Modern Intel chips support a feature called Software Guard Extensions (SGX). SGX allows applications to provision a “secure enclave” that is isolated from the host operating system and kernel, similar to technologies like ARM’s TrustZone. SGX enclaves also support a feature called remote attestation. Remote attestation provides a cryptographic guarantee of the code that is running in a remote enclave over a network.

> Originally designed for DRM applications, most SGX examples imagine an SGX enclave running on a client. This would allow a server to stream media content to a client enclave with the assurance that the client software requesting the media is the “authentic” software that will play the media only once, instead of custom software that reverse engineered the network API call and will publish the media as a torrent instead.

> However, we can invert the traditional SGX relationship to run a secure enclave on the server. An SGX enclave on the server-side would enable a service to perform computations on encrypted client data without learning the content of the data or the result of the computation.

I haven't seen it mentioned, but as a Tesla owner one concern I had was that if I sold my car Tesla might not get around to wiping the information it had on me. Worse there were stories of people selling cars where the new owner was given CC numbers and more of the old owner.

Nice coincidence with the article is I had a 2017 Volt. Great car, hated OnStar. First just trying to make them go away is nearly impossible and GM was doing their best to link even remote start on the app to having an account; it may actually be so but I sold it before the grace period expired.

OnStar is an example of how car makers are expecting to profit off cars once they leave the lot. Go look at the rates OnStar wants and for what. We had more than one update go around where features were going to be stripped from the app without subscription to basic information promised originally was to be moved to a premium category. I can honestly say OnStar was in my top three for reasons for leaving my Volt.

Yes, they can send you driving habit data if you opt in. I have a similar feature with a small blue tooth device for State Farm in my Tesla; connects to my phone and such and scores driving. Going to see what it does over six months. Currently my impression of it is that it thinks I take ever turn too fast; always one star out of five unless I come to full stop. It also will deduct points for going eight miles over speed limits. It rates acceleration, deceleration, turning, speeding, and phone use. On phone use it logs it but does not score for it as it could be a passenger.
It's hard to pick just one.

* Laser eye surgery in 2009 - I know it isn't really a "product", but it is one of the best purchasing decisions I've made.

* Kindle - it is so much more convenient than reading or collecting physical books, and with the e-ink screen doesn't detract from that "book feel" for me

* Tretinoin - this might be a weird one, but as someone who is very into skincare this single product makes me feel confident that I am effectively taking care of my skin for the long term. I don't have to worry about if I'm "doing it right", or bother with gimmicky expensive "texture-enhancing" or "anti-ageing" or whatever-the-next-buzzword-is products. Tretinoin has a very large body of research behind it. We know it works. A single tube of tretinoin (coupled with sunscreen!) saves me a lot of wondering and money. This is not to say I use nothing else at all, it's more like this one product and the knowledge base we have on it keeps me from spending money on otherwise expensive skincare that I don't need, which is _marketed_ to do the same thing as tretinoin but isn't actually shown to work like tretinoin is.

So if you consider some stack to be inferior (maybe because its highly inconsistent in its design or it only runs on closed and locked down platforms or whatever) you still should just dismiss it as 'oh its just a tool' instead of accepting that it's shitty and makes you miserable when working with it? Why wouldn't I want to work with best thing ever if it helps me keep my sanity every day?

Do you want to use something that makes you miserable? Is any language including those designed by 3 year old 'just a tool' that is to be used despite obviously being shitty?

Denial of resources thanks to denial of debate in the parliament.

> If I understand correctly, the current Australian government does not believe in human caused climate change but still enjoys domestic support from voters. Is that changing?

Not really. The governments strategy is currently to isolate and intimidate the concerned (scare campaigns, proposal of laws to outlaw "environmental protest terrorism"), whilst repeatedly telling the rest of the country: "we're fine", "we're doing our bit", "the problem doesn't exist" and "we can't survive without coal".

Starcraft supports the theory that mouse is much better for positioning and selection than keyboard. It's so much better, it's worth it keeping one hand at the mouse.

I mean, that was what the vi fans I met in my youth tried to deny. They claimed positioning by incremental search was better.

In a late uncle's stuff, I came across a copy of "The psychology of human computer interaction" by Stuart K. Card et al. A book from the early eighties detailing Xerox PARC UI research. They did a study comparing cursor keys (or vi keys), word and line keys (home, end, next word etc.), incremental search and mousing. They found the same as Apple later would.

I'm working with a content creator who shares unlisted dailymotion videos online. They get their videos stolen by bad actors who then sell on their content and the creator loses thousands a month in customers.

I'm curious about anyone who has went down this route and anyone who has worked on these types of systems.

If we all repeat that together, it will be true.
A lot of good answers in this thread and I think most of the answers you'll find are from people interested in programming for reasons other than money. A few off the top of my head:

1. A lot of those people you're studying with may never finish, may transfer to other areas, find a job in a different field or gravitate to management or business side of things if they are money driven. The ones who truly enjoy it will keep doing it.
2. There is an enormous amount of software yet to write, whole industries, systems and governments have yet to be digitized. We will need both really clever engineers and rank and file programmers to get us there.
3. There is a large (and growing) amount of legacy software already written, we need more and more developers to maintain and keep it running.
4. Software is currently pretty clunky and inefficient and has a long way to go in comparison to other areas of engineering and with hardware topping out we need CS grads to make our software more efficient.
5. CS is a massive field with all kinds of interesting areas and as others mention programming is seeping into other industries making a CS education pretty versatile choice and basis for an education.

If everyone is aiming for FAANGS look elsewhere, use your time at uni to explore niches that interest you and focus your time there.
Then who will contain costs? Healthcare providers are also for profit, and have an incentive to get paid.

US insurance companies can’t deny providing insurance, but they can dictate following established guidelines, and requiring justification for straying from them. They are also requiring to pay out 80% of the premiums they collect.

It is not an ideal system, especially with stories like the above, but in the US, there is a ton of money being extracted in the healthcare field, and someone must be the arbiter to prevent waste and abuse. In many countries it’s the government, but absent that, who will?

Note that since the ACA law passed, healthcare costs have stopped rising at the meteoric rates they used to. Again, the system isn’t close to perfect, but someone with knowledge (doctors in government or insurance company) must be used to prevent abuse by healthcare providers billing excessively. Or at least in a lower trust society.

I have a close family member who is a doctor works at health insurance companies and sees doctors trying to experiment with off label uses of medications that cost thousands of dollars per month. If the insurance company approved every one, the premiums would have to skyrocket for it to stay in business, so they follow the CDC and FDA and other research to create rules so that it’s used in cases where it has a chance of working.
