DDD is a set of principles where you have conversations with your business partners, model scenarios, determine a ubiquitous language, and build software that mirrors those models and conversations. Determining your bound-contexts, their relationship to other bound-contexts, and determining where sub-domains belong. Though this can be confusing since you could have an "order" domain in several bound-contexts with different purposes. It also tends to move away from traditional OO modeling since we're pulling things apart, not abstracting them in order to decouple. I took Eric Evans 5-day class two years ago, but I've been professionally utilizing DDD for about five years including helping build Accenture's new performance management system.
I thing J. J. Abrams is behind it.
To teach, you only have to be one lesson ahead of the students. And there's lots of teaching to be done, before the hard science kicks in. So plenty of room for everybody!
ChowBus? I also got an advertisement for Shef.
There were a few months when I just didn't leave the apartment at all (outside of very basic tasks generally in the evening). When I finally stepped outside one morning, everything just looked surreal.
It seems to me that the two-party system in the United States is, practically speaking, the same thing. Within each major party there are smaller caucuses, such as the Freedom Caucus, which are more extreme than the party as a whole and exercise outsized influence because the larger party needs them to maintain its big tent. "Big tent" == coalition.
FYI - the same thing happens with Hotels.com. When you "call the hotel" with the number listed, I learned that the representative is actually a Hotels.com rep, not a hotel employee or hotel call-center employee.

This matters. In my case, I asked about my corporate discount and they gave me a vague answer about "I dont see anything in the system", which I guess was technically not a lie, but definitely deceitful. I wised up because I knew we had a corporate discount and asked who I was speaking to. They gave vague answers like "I'm the call center representative" or "I'm here to help you book with X hotel".

The scam is they are trying to book you at a higher price w/o applying any corporate discounts, etc (and probably keeping a booking/affiliate fee). This should be illegal.
It’s still misrepresentation - would you really be okay with me putting up a bunch of pages pretending to be you with your name, photo, CV, etc. on the claim that’ll I’ll pass along any messages?

Now remember that GrubHub is doing this to make money, so I’ll take 30% off of all receipts before I kick the actual work over to you.

Oh, and GrubHub and UberEats like to do this to see which markets are the most profitable so I’ll be using your customer’s questions and orders as the basis for the ghost shop which will be undercutting you.
Pretend-legal agreements that are overly broad, capriciously enforced and written by out-of-touch culture “warriors” are a bad joke that should be regarded with contempt. Let the attorneys do their job, and devs, or the pop-dev-blogger entourage, should do theirs.
Honestly, I do the same thing as with just about any "I agree to these terms and conditions," etc. boxes. I check it and move on like just about everyone else. I assume there's nothing especially egregious or unusual in there.
There is a huge difference between people who are educated and people who are clever.

These days we have a huge number of educated people, many intelligent (high IQ) people but extremely few clever people. Clever people are those who have common sense and as Charlie Munger pointed out, 'common sense' ought to be called 'uncommon sense' because it's not common at all these days.

We have a problem now in our society that the task of capital allocation which used to be handled by clever people who had plenty of common sense has been artificially handed over to highly educated, intelligent people who in some cases completely lack common sense. They've been trying to design an elaborate, controlled economy from the top down... With an artificial government-controlled monetary system to support it.

Most intelligent people don't understand the importance of creative destruction; even though this process has proven itself to be the effective for millions of years and is the basis of natural evolution. It seems that most people in power have never heard of Leslie Orgel who once said that "Evolution is cleverer than you are".

You need to work with evolution, not against it. The system needs to allow creative destruction and natural selection.
Because of the confusion, death and fear it creates. It's a hospital, remember?
Is this the logical consequence of the web, that everything is reduced to just "content?" Whether it's a tweet or a movie that cost $100M to produce, it's just stuff that takes up space in a box on your screen.
Is the "everything else" really something you want to read about? So what if the majority of businesses are using FTP to upload new php files from the "website_latest_final_2" directory? We know that's not good, what is there to learn?

The reason we continue to look for improvement in productivity is the same reason I use Git instead of SVN or zsh/bash instead of GUI. Learning curve is steep but I feel so much more productive. The reward of learning something new can be massive. I've spent tons of hours on learning Vim and tweaking its config file, and it has rewarded me with an editor that I feel comfortable using for a lifetime. I've also wanted to try Emacs because of its potential benefits.

Zettel* is not for everyone, just as GTD or Pomodoro or Agile/Scrumm or Kanban. But when it works for those certain people, it is like magic, and the productivity level just skyrockets. When GTD was popular a decade ago, it really revolutionized how I worked, and its biggest benefit was that it offloaded brain so I can really focus on what is essential, not having to constantly remember what I needed to do next.

It's the same reason I use markdown, git, vim/emacs/vscode, etc.
The result will depend on difference between "could harm" and "actually did harm".
Grubhub literally says on their website "Grubhub helps you find and order food from wherever you are. How it works: you type in an address, we tell you the restaurants that deliver to that locale as well as showing you droves of pickup restaurants near you.".

Grubhub literally says 'shows you restaurants that deliver to you', imply the restaurant is delivering, not Grubhub. Furthermore it implies if you order, you're ordering from the restaurant- where Grubhub may have put up that ordering entirely without their consent!
What I don't understand: With more and more money getting created and a bigger and bigger percentage of that going to the richest, where should all that money go except the stock market? I mean how many yachts can you buy?
So so true. Every time I am like “wait, but what about social distancing?”. “Ho right. It’s 1980.”

Don’t limit your ire to Amazon here. I purchased The Replacements “Pleased to Meet Me” from iTunes. Now the first track on the album is “not available in your region”. I’m an album listener, not a song listener, and now that record is useless to me. Bonus the Music App auto-deleted it for me.
When you click on a number to call the restaurant and not the restaurant answers it is fraud if the restaurant did not agree on that.

Doesn't matter if you end of providing the exact same service.

What if I picked up calls going to Apple and all I did was transfer you to the correct person. You are still getting the same service if you called Apple directly but its not legal because Apple did not give me permission to impersonate them.

Or what if a private entity picked up your call to 911?
Except that what they're doing is just barely legal, so it would require legislative policy changes.

But on that note, if someone from the Executive branch wants to try to prosecute GrubHub for this, I'm all for it. Highly unethical at the very least.
I was done being scared of the virus in April when I saw all the lies and scams piling up. I've been back to normal life as much as possible. Most of my family and friends are the same way. That includes some who are over 60 years old. On the list of things I worry about, coronavirus is not even on the top 10. As soon as the restrictions are lifted, I will return to every normal activity.

I still obey the law, and I wear a mask around others who feel fear, because I respect them as people and want them to feel comfortable around me. I understand that some people feel hatred or resentment towards me because of my lack of fear of coronavirus, but I do not reciprocate their feelings.
I've heard it well before too, but when is the last time you heard it? But thats besides my point. We were mislead about masks in the beginning, even Fauchi was not advocating mask wearing in the beginning, yet there were stories about nurses being forced to ration and re-use theirs. I'm not saying it wasn't what needed to be done but it had consequences, one of which is a certain level of skepticism when the message is changed from "Masks are not" to "Masks are"
Curious now if we lived in the same area lol or if this is just some sad coincidence.
Here they’re going beyond that and saying, “Bill’s Eatery. Phone number: 555-...”, which a reasonable person would think was the restaurant’s number, not a grubhub number.
And some are seriously slow too
I understand that, my point still stands
You left out the second part of that sentence. Emphasis mine:

> ... you type in an address, we tell you the restaurants that deliver to that locale as well as showing you droves of pickup restaurants near you.

The complainants here seem to qualify under the second half of that sentence as long as they are offering a pickup service.
Your last paragraph is accurate but it's not 1) the sensible line that is being pushed via propaganda or fines, laws etc and 2) what the mask wearing population believe.

Social shaming and mass compliance needs exaggeration and propaganda. fear of the stick not think for yourself.

Propaganda is necessary in an epidemic.
A lot of modern "problem markets" ultimately show us (IMO) some of the limits of economics.

Economic theorising and/or "storytelling," as my econ professor termed it, can create plausible explanations. They're not strongly predictive though. In-context (say, a stock market) these theories can be somewhat dependable. "Predictive" is a strong term, but it's less wrong within highly similar contexts... that's how trading algorithms (non NN ones) work. They theorize within highly limited contexts.

In practice, these theories can be predictive enough to be successful trading strategies. In most cases, to be investably predictive a theory needs to be narrow. Certain asset classes, certain epochs, etc. Certain market conditions.

Even though they use similar concepts (supply, demand, price, and their marginal determinations), a theory about energy bonds cannot be applied to urban real estate. More academic theories go for generality. Broader theory, but not tradable predictive.

"Government and academics are still debating how much money is needed to distort a market. The truth is, not a whole lot is required to distort any asset market. This is a problem the stock market has been dealing with since the 1920s"

Sure. Not much is required, but that just makes it plausible. I'd wager some real estate markets are much harder to nudge than others. The highly sensitive marginal dynamics this article is theorising aren't a feature of all real estate markets at all times. They're almost certainly very linked to bubble/bull markets.

One rare example of broader theory being applied to actual trading is Soros. I think his concepts probably apply here. "Reflexivity," specifically.
That doesn't really chance GP's argument. There are a lot of countries where it's not illegal. Should it be? A lot of people would disagree with banning every kind of insensitive behaviour by law. And yet a conference might not want to host that kind of behaviour in their event, and want to make clear what kind of behaviour they find acceptable or unacceptable. Especially for such temporary events, it's useful to have clear lines and guidelines about what's acceptable and what not, especially in a society where some people don't seem to know or care. But that doesn't mean everything should immediately be legislated by law.
More to the point this function trivially statisfies f(x)-1-x = X (f(x)-1) + X^2 f(X). You should be able to convince yourself that this is equivalent to the fact that its power series satisfies the Fibonacci recurrence, and that this power series starts with 1 + x.

You can also use this to easily find generating functions that satisfy other starting conditions.
cough back in the 80's I was employed by a division of British Telecom explicitly partially as DEV/OP on a billing system as I had SYSAD experience on the platform.

HIPAA contains a security and privacy rule, but its original aim was to spur patient record portability between providers and insurers. That lineage of regulation, which also includes HITECH, ARRA, and provisions tied to Medicare expansion, established the carrots and sticks thought necessary to modernize the health industries records--to get them off paper and into bits. All this modernization eventually happened, but it's hard to say whether the regulation was the primary driver or if these companies would have done it anyway. Having worked in the industry, I lean toward the regulations being the primary driver. Low risk tolerance was already a characteristic of health organizations before HIPAA (and I think patient safety was the main reason). When HIPAA was signed in 1996, most US industries were heavily computerized, but health organizations lagged far behind. Lack of competition where most providers and insurers operated meant there was little commercial incentive for them to spend money to be able to exchange files with organizations in other states. Digitalization just wasn't coming together in health care as rapidly as in other industries, although I didn't work in health at the time so I don't feel like I personally know all the reasons.

It's been a long time since 1996, but most of the IT messes inside health organizations are self-inflicted. HIPAA and friends don't mandate which operating systems you use, specify approved encryption algorithms, or tell you when and how to update your computer systems. These are all choices left to the implementation teams, and they chose to work with vendors who aligned their solutions to information architectures that just don't change very fast. I think if you compared this IT situation to, say, large scale manufacturing in the US you'd find similar problems of outdated platforms supporting expensive and hard-to-change niche software. And it's probably market forces, not government regulation, that's responsible for this similarity.
I had never considered this eventuality in a plural democratic human/robot society.
I was thinking the same and it actually makes the analogy even better. Many people don't floss because it's tedious, annoying, a little bit painful, and they see no actual benefit. Similarly many people ignore some of these correctness practices because they can be tedious, annoying, a little bit painful, and they see no benefit.

Everyone sees the value of brushing, but many don't see the value in flossing. Everyone sees the value in some sort of quality assurance (be that a manual QA process, automated unit & integration testing, etc.) but don't see the value in the formalized methods proposed by the author.
There was a big screw-up on masks that the public health establishment has not come out and apologized for. And they wonder why people don't trust them...
The problem is that you don’t know what someone else’s needs are. Wearing a mask doesn’t protect you, it protects the people around you.

You choosing not to wear one puts everyone else at risk, even if they’re wearing one. And if someone is a caretaker/family of a person with elevated risk, they still have to go outside sometimes (groceries, pharmacy, etc). If you’re a carrier of covid and are unaware of it, and you choose not to wear a mask, that person is helpless to your spit droplets that you’re spraying everywhere.
> the way New York and Sweden

It's funny, the proponents of "the Swedish way" say that they are nothing like each other.

Of course in reality Sweden has had "strong recommendations" in place for months, and they are getting stricter.

https://www.thelocal.se/20201029/new-coronavirus-measures-fo...

"According to the new guidelines, which are outlined on the Public Health Agency's website and are effective immediately, everyone in Stockholm, Västra Götaland and Östergötland are strongly urged to:

"Refrain from being in indoor environments such as shops, shopping centres, museums, libraries, swimming pools and gyms. Necessary visits to for example grocery stores and pharmacies are ok.

"Refrain from attending, for example, meetings, concerts, performances, sports training, matches and competitions. This advisory does not apply to sports training for children born 2005 or later.

"If possible avoid physical contact with people other than those you live with. According to the Public Health Agency, this includes for example attending or throwing a party or similar social gatherings."

The war on general purpose computing is strong. The RIAA has been at the forefront of restricting & preventing user freedoms since time immemorial.

Only this time, unlike with Betamax[1], they are winning. Backed by anti-circumvention laws like the DMCA section 1201, which makes any lock, no matter how poorly built, a criminal violation to break or even to build or discuss ways of breaking.

Been hearing about a crash since Trump took office. Let me know when it happens so I can start buying, I got a lotta cash I've been stashing.
Quite frankly, you've missed the mark on a number of points. First is that dirty money is effectively worthless until it's cleaned, and launderers recognize that it will take some percentage to clean the money. In other words, they're willing to take a loss on an asset, as that's their fee for getting clean cash.

> The only reason money launderers can have an outsized effect on the real estate market is because they generate more demand. Period. But that demand is no different from legitimate buyers. Demand is demand. That's the entire story.

You're not seeing the full story, and it's a point that's touched on in the article. These transactions don't happen in a vacuum, and the market doesn't know that the buyer was legit or a launderer. The transaction sets a comp, which then gets used by everyone to set their prices. Enough transactions from launderers, and you can effectively reset what the market value for a property is. There's also impact on supply as many who are deciding on when might be a good time to sell now see the market 10% higher than expected. Suddenly you can get an increase in supply, higher market values, and transactions that make it more favorable for launderers.

>A launderer will always prefer to buy 2 properties at a market value of $1 million each, over buying one of those at an inflated $2 million. Always. The laws of supply and demand don't disappear just because you're laundering money.

A launderer prefers transactions that are least likely to generate attention from the authorities. Depending on the legal legwork, the "suspiciousness" of a given transaction, and other factors it's tough to say what they'd prefer.
IMO I agree that the real problem is the last one. GrubHub has a history of this, basically co-opting restaurants brands for their own benefit.

https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/29/21113876/grubhub-seamless...

Also they then use SEO to get their own phone numbers and website higher than the actual restaurant's number/site, basically guaranteeing a cut of any phone/website order, even if the customer doesn't want to go through Grubhub.
Ah makes sense if you think of it as 1 / (100 - 10 - 1)

89 being a fib itself is quite a coincidence though?

Evading Chinese capital outflow restrictions occurs on the Chinese side. Vast majority of real estate in Vancouver adhere to Canadian law, the industry is very well developed, agents and lawyers cross their T's and dot their I's.

The issue is there are just too many wealthy Chinese people. Essentially any Chinese citizen who owns property in tier1 Chinese cities, many snatched up 20 years ago for nothing, can afford to buy 1M+ homes in Vancouver or Toronto if sold. None of it involves black money, just being lucky at the right place at the right time and having a desire to live in Canada. The TL;DR: is there's like more legitimate Chinese millionaires by wealth than there are Canadians.
Because when people don't get exactly what they want, they blame the restaurant instead of the Grubhub employees who messed up. The restaurant loses business, grubhub makes a quick buck.

It's at the very least a trademark violation, this is exactly what trademarks were set up to prevent.
That is a myth (the Ius primae noctis) despite what Braveheart may say.

On the other hand, a little history shows how many things can be lawful (even "patriotic"!) and extremely inhuman (aberrant, whatever). Not so long ago.

Yes they have to ask for permission to present themselves as an agent of the company, which they do when they present their own phone number as the restaurant phone number. So I imagine the lawsuit will have many legs to stand on.

This is business, which has many rules. Its not just 'do whatever you like as long as it makes money'.
> but wouldn't wear a simple mask for that very same country is shameful.

There aren't as many of those as you think. The media likes to find all cases of people doing that and reporting on them.

Instead the media should do some polling and get statistics on mask wearing. But they won't, because in general most people are wearing masks, and that goes against the narrative.
Does the fraud begin when you serve different food, or does it begin when you represent yourself as the restaurant without their consent? Everyone would agree passing off different food is fraud. Using a different number and marketing yourself as jdmichael's friendly delivery service is not fraud, since the customer knows they are not working directly with the restaurant. Using a different number and marketing yourself as the restaurant IMO is fraudulent.
