>ISAs are securitized and resold. Lambda has zero incentive to do anything above and beyond pushing students through some percentage of the program.

I disagree with your analysis of the incentives here. The price people pay for tomorrow's securitized ISAs depends heavily on how well today's ISAs pay off. It's a delay in the feedback loop, but it isn't broken.

That being said, this incentive alone is likely weaker than the prevailing incentives in for-profit education, which seem to encourage saving a buck wherever possible and over-promising, under-delivering.
> > Epic Games continued to argue that Apple has an App Store monopoly and charges excessive fees, but the judge pointed out that the 30 percent rate that Apple collects is the "industry rate" collected by PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Google, and more. "It's all 30 percent and you just want to gloss over it," the judge said to Epic's lawyers.

She also glossed over the fact that software can be distributed free with its own payment systems in laptop/desktop OSs like Windows, OS X, Ubuntu etc. When I paid for Sublime I didn't go into an App Store to pay for it.

Smartphone/tablet OSs are logical successors to the laptop/desktop OSs we have not game consoles. They are general purpose computing platforms.
Like probably most folks here, I block ads at the pihole, and rarely ever see them. I actually pay for YouTube so that they don't show my kids any ads when they're not on my network.

I don't think I'm buying things based on ads, at all, but the adtech guys would surely disagree. I also find it hard to square the near universal loathing of ads with the draw of Times Square. I too enjoyed the lights of the ads.

Rain? High winds? I doubt a 250 pound dude in a jetpack is going to fair any better than 15,000 pound copter.

Tight areas... maybe. But if the tree canopy is too tight, I don't see how a dude with a jetpack is truly going to navigate that efficiently. They'll just find a near by clearing to land and hoof over... which, the same can be said of someone in a copter. Though, the one from the copter can ruck 70+ pounds of life saving medical equipment because they're not carrying jetpack equipment.

Forest Fires? I mean, what advantage do they have to smokejumpers? All that extra jetpack gear means less firefighting gear on them.

Look, it's cool. It's awesome. I also want to be the first person to get a DUI in a jetpack. But for the price of a cheap helicopter and going to a scenario such as a fell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fell)... a less complex helicopter that can ACTUALLY carry gear seems like the smarter investment for a search/rescue department.
This is actually a really cool idea. I saw someone mention that in order for people to use peer-to-peer tech it'll have to become easier, and more fun...

You're effectively defining a serialization format using a subset of xml. You can do that with JSON as well, adding "type" properties as required.

The problem is that everybody has their own subset of xml for serializing objects, while for json you can load arbitrary json into a straight-forward tree of dicts, lists and literals.

If receive arbitrary xml the only way to process it is with xml-specific tools because the object model does not map to any programing language.

He said he is a brahmin and its brahmins duty to advice how the country should be run and not be a soldier as vedas consider brahmins as superior to all the other varnas.

Because the author did not really study the so called social credit system, instead they just quote everything from wikipedia without double checking the facts.

That wiki try to associate every thing related to credit in China to the social credit system, which is terribly wrong.

For example, playing loud music may get you blacklisted by the beijing subway company, not the national credit system.

The first step to finding legal precedent is exploring practical precedent. This being an injunction hearing, part of the judge’s job is determining whether Epic is likely to prevail in its argument. The fact that it seeks to challenge practical precedent makes the outcome less predictable and an injunction less reasonable.

Based on existing law, why is the laptop/desktop model inherently superior to the game console model?
You and me both, my friend. Perhaps now more than ever before, we are not so much dissatisfied with our careers (with a dissatisfaction that has always been present), but more able to think deeply about why that is the case. In my opinion, the answer isn't pleasant and yet, it's strangely comforting (even freeing) in a sense.

Now that I have accepted that my lasting happiness will not be found in a prestigious job or fame as an engineer, where shall I find it? Perhaps the same place other humans have for the last ten thousand years. In the center of a quiet meadow in the woods. Next to an animal that considers me a friend. In the arms of someone I love. Plucking strings on an instrument, singing my stories.

Is this response a coping mechanism, or an acting choice to minimally engage with the parts of human existence which entail naked power brokering and empire building? Maybe it's a little of both. May we both find our own peace somehow, friend.

TBF, Apple is trying to make Mac a walled garden.
How so? The JSON model is much more restricted than XML. For example:

* In XML an "object property" can be represented as either an attribute or an element, in JSON only dicts can have attributes.
* In XML elements can contain a mix of text and child elements. For serializing objects this is almost never desired.
* JSON has a single way to define lists, in XML you need to roll your own.
I am unable to follow your line of argument. What does your position on privacy have to do with fighting a monopoly?
> if phones are general purpose computers or game consoles

There is zero law that makes this distinction.
Scale and market power are what makes a monopolist, by definition. It doesn't matter if the terms have changed; what has changed since 2008 is the scale and power of Apple.

Incidentally, the 30% came from the iTunes Music Store, on which the App Store was based 100%.

The most popular game consoles have 2-3 thousands games total. They are truly "curated". The Apple App Store and Google Play store each have 2-3 million apps each. They're orders of magnitude larger than game consoles. This is the crucial difference in platforms.
Correct, but they don't get to advertise to you.

Interested to see if this is going to fail like the other times its been tried, or fail differently. Instead of continuing with this stupidity that is doomed to fail and impossible to fund in the long term.. ie free money with no strings attached, why don't they try something that has been proven to work with people that are actually poor (living on less the $1 a day with no social services, municipal services, etc), microcredit. This way you select for the people that actually want to get out of poverty, vs the people that are just going to blow through the money on useless stuff and come back asking for more.
Apparently with the SCS, if you were to be blacklisted there is possibility to challenge the decision. Liu Hu appealed his decision but is still on the blacklist and has problems due to his low SCS.

Another case is listed below:

In Xie’s case, he didn’t have time.

“No one notified me that I was on the blacklist. Then court officials detained me, so I had to pay the fine,” he said. Xie is now off the blacklist.

Lawyer Li Xiaolin was also not given advanced notice that he was blacklisted.

In 2014, Li was sued for defamation and lost. A judge ordered Li to make an apology, which he submitted in writing in April 2015. Ten months later, when he was away on a work trip, he was blocked from buying a return flight home to Beijing. That’s when he found out he was blacklisted.

It took him another three weeks before an official told him why.

“The court said my apology was not sincere. I asked officials how they determined what is sincere.” Li said.

Eventually Li wrote a second apology and the court removed him from the blacklist in 2016. Then last year, he tried to get a credit card.

“The bank denied my application. I figured out that the bank might still have my name blacklisted and I was right,” Li said.

The bank updated its records the next day, but by that point, he had spent almost a year to fully clear his name.

“The social credit system gives a very powerful weapon to officials, in a country with very unbalanced relations between citizens and the government,” she said.

For now, Liu is still on the blacklist, which the Chinese state media refers to as the list of “laolai” or deadbeats.

He is still trying to get off it.

EDN – Extensible Data Notation
It is amusing how each of us define our own _lightweight_, for me it is the size and readability of the code. Others it is the magnitude of the executable bytes. To someone else it might mean the startup time, the number of dependencies or the build/test/debug iteration time.
I completely agree. If you just look at it as a system, it’s completely unstable. When do I most need support in my habits? When something goes wrong and I miss a day. When does a streak system completely remove all support and pile on a bunch of negativity? When something goes wrong and I miss a day.

Streaks seem to be good at taking you from 99% compliance to 100%, but that’s not the problem most people face.

What has worked way better for me is to take the world a week at a time. I track my compliance across all of my habits. It’s usually only like 75%, but I bet you most people aren’t hitting that. Then I meet someone for up to 30 minutes once a week. She’s not an accountability buddy (also an unstable system). She’s a project manager. We talk about what’s going wrong and how to fix it, or what’s going well and how to keep it. Done it all year and it has helped tremendously.

Back to streaks, I had an idea for streaks that still give you a goal, but they’re not so huge. So you reach for the next number in the powers of 2 or Fibonacci sequence, and your streak counter starts over when you hit it. Then you’re not trying to preserve your one precious streak, you’re just setting a new record. “I did 128, let’s see if I can hit 256!”.

While I agree with you, the traffic to China did stand out in my router log enough for me to notice this. Had they used Amazon Aws, I might have never investigated.

Plus, this is how I learned that Phillips is just a brand of a Chinese company now.

And where the regions do get relevant again is for the legality of it. If it's an EU company doing such data extraction, they would be swiftly punished for it. Same I presume for the US. So I would assume that they are using a Chinese intermediary for the data to avoid / delay the legal consequences from it.

Superior for developers because their margins improve. For low margin ones like Spotify that is make or break, especially when you take into account that they are fighting with preinstalled and OS promoted incumbents in both the platforms like Apple Music which are not subjected to the same.
