To play devils advocate, have you ever tried pulling out a map, planning your route, and then driving it?

I'm going to assume not based on your response since you'd likely learn the route after 1 or occasionally 2 times of doing that.

I say that because I work in an area where GPS directions are usually useless and often have to find my way to a new location based on directions, or by planning my route ahead of time. It works really well.
Oh definitely true. And they have done a killer job of building out all the bells and whistles and making it all quite fast.

But as someone interested in the guts, or understanding how to implement new types of systems, it can be quite overwhelming!
You would think POTS music would be unbearable, but it wasn't. It was about as tolerable as AM radio.

The argument of the original headline is made all the time and it rarely is a good one.

"Airlines look like they make money from flights, but really they make it from frequent flyer programs".

The same market is made about car dealerships with maintenance, Tesla about selling regulatory credits, gas stations with junk food, et cetera.

But I believe that a more accurate description is that the side behaviour is enabling the companies in question to lower prices in an attempt to steal market share. Without the side businesses, prices would rise, it doesn't necessarily mean that the businesses would be non-viable without the side businesses. Of course if you don't have it but your competitor does, that may cause problems.

Doesn't invalidate this article though, it's more about COVID-19 adaption than side businesses.
You're presenting communism for what it really is, but UBI for what it claims it will be.

Communists used to claim that communism would be effectively like a UBI. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs", etc. Marx never really elaborated on how this vision was meant to work in practice. It turned out the only way to get close was huge state control.

UBI is, let's be clear, a form of wealth redistribution. For the vast majority of workers it would not give them anything. It would take money away. Money would come in one pocket but go straight out the other in higher taxes, it must be so, because UBI removes the incentive to work for a lot of people who are comfortable being at the base level of subsistence it allows. That means they'd stop generating taxable income, increasing the burden on everyone else.

Thus for people like me, who work, UBI is not about giving me flexible resources. My work does that. UBI is about taking my resources to give them to other people. These people may feel freer or like they have more self-determination indeed, as they now have more money for less work than before. But for other people they are less free and have less self-determination, because previously they could have spent that money on themselves but now it's taken from them by the government.

Now UBI is a form of central planning. It must be because it posits a single variable that yields a "universal" income. Who decides what that income is and how it moves up and down? The government does, one might say, the government plans it. And who plans how it is funded? Same answer.
true - but we could just recolour it if needed

Don’t forget how much more expensive school is now than it was for the previous generation. An unfair grade is far more negatively impactful.

It's a learned skill.

London cab drivers are famed for "The Knowledge". You can see the physical change in the hippocampus from the MRIs. However, the physical changes also seems to negatively impact some of their cognitive skills, so there's tradeoff.
I know this is probably just their new marketing campaign, but there's this nugget of truth to it. I used to be so optimistic about the internet--about bringing the entirety of human knowledge to everybody's front door. But, the reality has proven to be so much more... complex. I really hope we do find a way get past this awkward teenage phase it seems to be having.

Big Front Seat is the best deal in US aviation. It's literally just a domestic first seat. No service, no food, no drinks. So basically the same as a domestic first class seat on a legacy airline. The only difference is it's a $20-100 add-on instead of a 2X-10X fare delta :) consider it next time! Spirit sucks in general, sure, but BFS is a hell of a deal.

I think your statement has merit whichever way it was interpreted, fwiw.
So, does your Linux Roguelike have any progression? Can I get a magic item (ie. a file) to put in my home directory to protect it from a single mistake, or something?
Interesting. It annoys me when hackers tend to do something 'creative' once they're in. Instead of recursively deleting everything (which has the most impact) - they try some novel and boring task which has low impact. The end goal of all nefarious forms of hacking should be to wipe everything.
Yes, the signal degrades more with longer cables which reduces the usable bandwidth. Short cables up to about 0.5m (1.5 feet) can use the full 40 Gbps. Slightly longer cables up to 1m can still carry enough signal for Thunderbolt 3 but usually at reduced speeds (20 Gbps).

Above about 1m (3 feet) a passive cable usually isn't good enough for TB3 connections and you have to use a more expensive "active" cable. Active cables have built in signal-boosting circuits -- they're amplifying and re-transmitting signals, not just passing them over the wires.
>Last time I looked, it was perfectly possible to install them directly, without support by the distro. Yes, it's more work.

Yes, you can install them and they will break with every single update and you need to re-install them. And you will encounter bugs that no-one has any idea why they are there and no-one will help you with.

>There's an open source driver, nouveau, but of course it's behind the newest hardware.

It's not just behind, it's actively sabotaged by nvidia by locking basic hardware functions behind closed firmware that it encrypted.

What benefit is the YAML giving you?

On your examples, one mixes an specialized language into a general one. The general language is much better for most tasks, but once in a while there is a problem that fits the specialized one. But YAML isn't much better than a general language for defining data structures (what config files are), and isn't general in any way.

To me, one of the least realistic parts of that series was the reactions of other characters upon learning the Weissman score achieved by Richard Hendricks.

Every single character, regardless of their background, upon learning of the score, immediately expressed some variant of "holy shit" or "that can't be possible!".

Is there any real-life equivalent that would cause such a universal reaction to "hey, ZZZ achieved an X in Y score!"

It's more than that, honestly, I feel Frequent Flyer programs are being misconstrued as an asset, when in fact for exit strategies they are probably a liability.

I don't have any real data, but anecdotally, the only people I've known who are truly loyal to a loyalty program are the hyper-milers, and they accumulate so many miles and just sit on them.

United has since changed their program (of which I'm still a member, but only use begrudgingly), and you wont lose your miles so long as you remain active on the program. I'm sure there are more caveats, but I don't pay attention to it anymore.
What do you think a good definition of “racist tweet” would be?
Much of crime is driven by poverty. If the consequence of poverty-driven crime is more poverty, then this negative feedback loop turns society into an incarceral state.

The truth is that most folks writing c++ are spending a ton of time debugging their language knowledge or sticking to what they know.

The language is almost totally unprincipled in my opinion so you just have to know the minutiae to reason about and work with novel constructions.

In the hands of an expert, it's an awesome tool. To me, it's a miserable chore.
> Also, your usage of "paid luxury travelers" is suspicious. I get that traveling on vacation is a luxury, but I feel like it implies they pay more.

To be clear, by "paid luxury traveler" I was referring to folks who pay for business or (proper) first-class when they travel. The well-to-do retiree or executive type. The people who pay for Lufthansa First.
Have we considered not tying school funding to property tax? What if all the property tax was (sort of) evenly distributed among schools? Similar to Canada [1] (and I bet other countries).

Ugh, seems you're just trying to come up with ways to apologize and gain sympathy for racists. No, it's not universal or common that people feel more empathy for murderers or criminals. People might feel empathy with more context, when remorse is expressed and time has passed, this applies to both murderers and racists.

The examples in the TED talk are poor. If you're in public relations, don't make an offensive joke about not being able to get get AIDS in Africa because you're white. If you're in journalism, don't plagiarize and make shit up. These people failed at the fundamentals of their job description.

Should the world just ignore racist tweets and the damage that racists/racism causes? Should racists get the same cushy "rehab" murderers do, by putting them in prison?

The issue is that no one in CS seems to care that "Notation in any field is a barrier to entry". Almost all CS Ed research presently focuses on the problem-solving skill of CS rather than the technical literacy. There is almost no interest from educators to train this literacy despite work from myself [1] and others [2] saying that explicitly training these skills improves student performance.

The issue, in my opinion, is that notation and technical literacy are skills that students are "expected" to pick up through proxy. They do problem-solving problems, so they are getting experience coding. But the issue with this is that since novices are struggling with notation/syntax, they are juggling problem-solving issues (logic errors) and technical issues (syntax errors).

Another thought on 60 years ago being different times:

In the biography of a 1st world politician (national level during the 1970s), he recollects that he lost his first race, in the 1960s. Only to win it a day or two later, because someone noticed that a bunch of people who had voted for his opponent not only did so in alphabetical order, but were also dead.

So he did in fact proceed to the legislature, only to find the first topic of debate for that session was about how long someone had to be dead before they couldn't vote anymore.

I hope that in 2020 the metabolically challenged no longer vote, at least not in alphabetical order.
Personal story, fwiw. Wheelchair Tom was a neighbor growing up. Nice guy. Little quirky, but nice. Tom gave out quarters for Halloween, and paid small amounts to neighborhood kids to help out around his property.

Why was Tom in a wheelchair? Tom killed his wife years earlier in a crime of passion after catching her with another man in their bed. He grabbed a gun, shot both people. She died. Tom walked out and the lover came behind him and shot him in the back.

Tom went to prison for a very violent crime. I raked leafs for him as a kid, and so did my kids. I wouldn't have had second thoughts of asking him to keep an eye on the kids for a while if needed. Tom was a member of our community who had a very violent past that all the adults knew about and were accepting of.

Alternatively, there are folks who have sterling records that I would not let my kids do chores for.
Yes, really only D and Rust, nothing else.

If you think other language X supports RAII, you don't really understand it. It's not really compatible with obligate-GC. Finalizers, in particular, are not it.

The thing about destructors is that reclaiming memory is only their most trivial use. In C++, as in D and Rust, and Haskell, too, catching errors is the type system's most trivial use. It does the heavy lifting.

If your program isn't putting the type system to work, you're toiling away with a screwdriver while people around you are using impact drivers and forklifts.

I do miss it but less than what I expected. My laptop has a good autonomy, so I'm less dependent on charging. Also, most of the charging happens when it's linked to the usb-c monitor where you can't trip on the cable (which is above the desk).
Mostly web dev currently but I've worked in a few different domains.
That to me, is the key boundary being crossed, like enough to merit a large-class action award for any damages sustained anywhere by anyone who plugged a USB-C device into the port.

I do think there's something to be said for liability for creating a port that is so similar to USB-C, but also causing damage, akin to copyright laws, based on consumer confusion. I.e., if a reasonable person might think it is a variant of USB-C, and USB devices seem to work for long periods of time without apparent damage, then Nintendo is liable by virtue of resulting damage to the consumer's property (not to the USB organization). There's a certain liability for negligence in that case. But I could also see reasonable arguments that if Nintendo were explicitly saying it is not a USB port, that they shouldn't be liable (I don't agree but see it as a reasonable argument).

But if Nintendo is advertising it in anyway like that, they should be held liable. I just don't see a reasonable argument for why that wouldn't be the case. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Anyone could be a potential murderer. I had a coworker who committed murder-suicide, and I nobody saw it coming.

In the same vein, anyone could be rehabilitated.
I agree with both of you. The level of business that grants a "write us to know prices" message must be well above the small to medium customer... but still it itches when you're interested and realize that their product is not directed at you at all.

We could argue that they would get more money, but at the end of the day they probably decided that a single bigger fish is definitely worth losing business from a hundred smaller ones. I guess it's one of those "nice problems to have", if you grow so much that you have it.
I wouldn't say that's a dichotomy. Internet popularity was fleeting before twitter and it probably still will be long afterwards. In general, the path out of unpopularity is to do research before you post something. If you don't want to do it yourself, you can hire a PR firm.
How do you know that's not because the richer countries have more jobs and opportunities? That's why the richer countries are richer.

Not to mention richer countries also tend to take more refugees and treat them better.
In Germany I was asked to provide my criminal record while working at a payment processing startup that had to obtain certain certificates. They were probably looking for crimes of a fiscal nature however, which is understandable. Second chances are second chances but security is mostly about trust.

Another job at a startup in Germany that worked in less tightly controlled spaces has never asked me to produce my criminal record, nor could they legally. An employer can only ask questions that are reasonably necessary for them to make a fair consideration about me as an applicant. You could ask an accountant about embezzlement convictions, a pharmacist about drug convictions etc., but that is not applicable to software engineers.

This is the only sane way to do things.

I would be very interested in understanding how much of that recidivism rate is attributable to "ex-felon discrimination" or whatever we might call it as opposed to other variables.
You say "should be to wipe everything". Why do you think that's the most important goal? I'd have thought the BEST hackers would ensure their continued control of the system and ability to exfiltrate data without arousing any suspicion. A good virus doesn't kill its host, a good hacker doesn't nuke their woot.
Quick Tips to Build Your Blog from Scratch
You're not making a good argument for your position. In this context, being a pedophile (distinct from the act of abusing children) is closer to being a racist (distinct from the act of abusing people of a different race) than to being a bank robber.

Also, why construction and retail? A remote-work programming position seems less dangerous for the public, even following your reasoning.
