I believe the assumption here is that this is a bad thing, and it may be, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.

When is it OK to charge different cohorts of users different prices? Why is it ok in some instances, and not in others?

If we charged white hetero males (of which I am one) more than everyone else, would that be OK because they are NOT part of a minority?

To give a bit of context of how I'm looking at this for our business, we're in the sleep tech space, and lack of sleep is a huge issue in the African American community due to socio-economic reasons. I've got some designs on how we can offer African Americans a lower price on our product than other user groups. I doubt there would be a "backlash" because it's a discount, rather than an increase in price...which is really just perspective...
People sit in them to do jobs that weren’t designed for humans.
In the cold war the US and USSR both wanted Zaire to declare their support. Also every country gets a vote in the UN.
What? I live in canada where tipping culture is not as present as in the US but still very widespread and it's universally known (at least before the lockdowns) that working in restaurants is pretty much the best job you can get as long as you don't work in the kitchen. I've had close friends work in a wide range of restaurants/hotels, and even those working in very normal restaurants still made way more than any other job they could get.

I like my student job since it's outdoors, and I have other revenue streams, but you don't get any tips. So my colleagues usually jump at the occasion to work in a restaurant whenever they can even if our workplace is extremely pleasant to work at.

They want to keep tips going because not because it allows them to barely reach the minimum but because it makes them way more money. Otherwise, they'd advocate for removing the different minimum wages.

I'm actually puzzled, and I'm wondering if you have ever worked in a waitstaff job because I've never ever met a waiter being against tips.
>Or does that only apply to Ohio or the Midwest

Um.... He was referring to Intel the company as a whole. Shut it down and give money back to investor. ( I am sorry to say he is not an expect on Semi-Conductor Industry judging from his other comments. So just ignore it ) Not targeting the Fabs in Ohio or the Midwest.

Seriously, you seemed triggered. No one is hating Ohio here. At least not as far as I can tell. It will be great for Ohio, and I am sure Ohio's future will be bright with many more tech companies to follow after Intel. Grab a coffee, take a break from Social Media and Internet. Have a nice day.
I'm pretty sure the S1 MP3 and the TI-83 CPU don't use 100 mA though. I'd sure like to know if someone is making a low-power Z80 I can actually buy.

I mean, it's a little goofy, because a lot of the Z80 design was a response to design constraints that no longer exist, right? You don't need to fit your CPU in 40 pins or 10000 transistors anymore. And even the MuP21 probably would have been a better design under those constraints.
Desktop app dev feels like a dying art, unfortunately. I see many comments mention Qt, but just wanted to give a shout-out to wxWidgets too. I chose it on a recent project over Qt for resulting in a more lean statically linkable self contained binary, and it also seemed easier to get a native look for all platforms I was targeting.

Straight people: here’s why homophobia doesn’t exist (because if I acknowledged it exists I’d have to acknowledge that I play a part in it and I’d feel bad about myself)
I don’t think Paxos is superior than 2pc. 2pc is dramatically simpler to implement. And if you layer 2pc on Paxos (something highly available) you can get the best of both worlds — simplicity and fault tolerance. The thing with Paxos is that it’s expensive and very hard to get right. So usually you have a very small but critical component that’s built on Paxos, then you compose the rest of the system on top with strong assumptions of the availability of the dependencies.
"west coast liberal" here -- I'm thrilled to hear about this project. While I'm not a fan of the political climate of Ohio I want to see the midwest (and rest or the country) thrive.

Of course those jobs where designed for people. What do you think the people who designed the jobs were planning on using?

> The vast majority of murders in most U.S. major cities and in the country as a whole are concentrated in a very small, highly concentrated area of demographic regions, yes, even inside cities.

that's true everywhere.

you don't see many homicides on the Alps here in Italy.

The most dangerous city for homicides in Italy is Vibo Valentia (population 33k) at 6 homicides every 100k (still only 60% of LA) Rome is only at 0.5, 12 times less (20 times less than LA, despite a comparable population).

It's safe to say that in most neighbourhood in Rome there are zero homicides/year, some areas have seen no homicides in years. Some in decades.

Because, as you point out, an average doesn't reflect the situation of single areas of demographic regions.

But Vibo Valentia is known for being a city run by the mob ('ndrangheta), a place you don't visit if you come as a tourist, LA is famous for Hollywood and people think it's a glamorous city, while it's actually more dangerous than a mobsters reign in the far south of Italy.

There are ~20k homicides every year in the US, >70 times more than in Italy, but the population is only 5 and a half time more than Italy.

The fact that homicides in the US are highly clustered, especially in large cities, makes it more dangerous, not less.

It happens a lot, to a lot of innocent people.

That's a good suggestion. But in reality we'd have to support both Azure AD and our own storage for users who are not using Azure AD. And possibly even on-premise version, which is additional complication.

It's beginning to look clear why it's an idea from few years ago but still not implemented.
Hopefully they are able to expand their lineup to include a 15" model. I tried to work on a 14" MacBook Pro and ended up returning it because it felt too small. Though I probably still wouldn't exchange my 16" M1 MBP for a 15" Framework laptop unless Framework manages to even come close to competing with M1's power efficiency. That really depends on a chip designer making something competitive though. Not much Framework can do other than find ways to improve Linux's power management.

Buddhism is about recognizing that everything is one, i.e. there's no sky/earth, but just sky-earth as one thing altogether.

Of course you don't have to believe it or find it useful, I'm just explaining Buddhist thought in general and Thich Nhat Hanh's thoughts in particular here.

You need SGs because not everything in the world lives inside a K8S cluster or flows through a CNI. And you need IAM because if you have 10 users and 10 resources but not every user is allowed to perform all actions on all resources you need policies. Policies apply (generally) on roles, actions and resources. IAM that only works on some random resources but not on others are pointless, unless you have a very small setup (i.e. less than 100 resources, less than a small office of users), but at such a small scale, you shouldn't even be thinking about AWS (unless you are on track to scale 1000x).

S3 isn't just "I have many files and it needs a lot of disk space". Like I wrote, if you just use base S3 API primitives then no, you're not really using anything AWS-specific, and making a comparison between something that does more than you need seems odd to me. Edge storage, cold storage, cheaper storage based on reductions of redundancy or access times, mirroring, versioning, multi-level IAM (integrated with the rest of your IAM) are all things that make the difference between "look at my virtual USB disk" (most MinIO configurations out there, the unsupported ones that is) and "durable and reliable multi-level object storage, configured for my needs".
the very next sentence reads: "This idea is apparently false."
I always appreciate a good shell pipeline, shared.

I am stronger in python, and definitely wrote a script to cheat at Words With Friends back in the day (always told my friend afterwards and only pulled that stunt a few times).

If I had known posix better, my script may very well have been a one-liner of bash. Awk-ward.
This is a very childish rant. You could swap Ohio, with Missouri, Indiana, Iowa... All country have states/provinces that are more developed than others. You liking your home state (or not) doesn't make it better. You can say whatever you want, good luck getting people to move to Ohio.
YAML allows comments, I'll give it that. But what I really want is splitting configuration into multiple files that can be imported to others. And substitutions. Basically HOCON known on the JVM as https://github.com/lightbend/config

"You can’t do much in life without ID."

This is a common belief that, to me, displays a serious lack of knowledge of the breadth of human experience. It should not be hard to imagine how people who are some combination of very sick, old, lonely, disabled or poor can have their ID expire and then not get a new one for year after year. Yet people seem to constantly proclaim this as unthinkable or nonsensical, as if only their version of a lived life is believable.
"Been smoking 20 years, still no lung cancer!"

You're only 30. Give it 10 years. Not being snarky, the damage is being done, you're just not at that point yet. 38, been programming since the same age and I'm starting to feel it. Change your habits now and start focusing on ergonomics.

If it's not, then most of that bill is likely to be heating.

That bill seems very high - through winter with my reverse cycle ACs I spend less then that to more or less constantly heat my entire house.

For what it's worth, I think people are nit picking rather than crying foul. It's a great story, thanks for sharing it!
I don't write Python, but I think row level typing is stricter. Both the names and types of the record fields would have to satisfy the function signature, so the quacking is only honored on field names. Where dynamic languages will of course accept floats where ints are called for, etc, quacking all the way down.

The point of my original comment was to suggest that some of the flexibility offered by duck typing can be achieved in FP, so they should seem similar.

I would still just pass the fields as two parameters.
This sounds like it takes the cosmological principle to its extreme.

Such assumptions should be constantly challenged.
Most audio software for musicians are desktop apps or plugins. And people do make money selling virtual instruments and effects and so on that way. I don't know how much, but it's a market that exists.
If they paid decent and made it so you could drive one way for four hours and drive back to base the next four hours and go home for the night, the shortage would end like that.
> When there's no product differentiation, distribution wins. In the telco case, products build on top of broadband were 10x improvements over products built into broadband. YouTube, Netflix and other internet content providers could do things that cable and telephone simply couldn't. Now, competitors must differentiate on expertise, community, and developer experience.

I don’t disagree, but I think the important thing to understand is the flip side of this argument: products built on top of broadband were 10X better… and that created demand for the dumb pipe. If you wanted these new products, you had to order broadband. And then cable and telcos had local monopolies/oligopolies, so there was no need to differentiate themselves. Others created the demand and they locked customers into renewing contracts. Why be anything other than a dumb pipe in such a scenario?
I don't know which I hate more, printers or PDFs. I wish everything could be done on DocuSign or similar platforms.
No, it can be one in the same. A modern day example is neighborhood gentrification. Increase the price until only a certain group of people can live there, and those that can't tough luck. So the end result is we get neighborhoods that consists of a majority of one group, and like super low percentage of other groups. ie, Mostly white neighborhoods vs ghettos dominated by black/hispanic groups.

Then looking back, there's IBM who profited by building systems to help Nazis process the Holocaust. And then later built a punch card system for Japanese internment camps in the US, during a time when asians, and Japanese people especially, were highly discriminated against in WW2. People were hurt here for no good reason, and all as an 'economic decision'. In my eyes, IBM is culpable for the atrocities they helped create, even if it was 'just for money'.

Bringing it back to Tinder, the question is why do we need this kind of price discrimination? How is it >consistently< determining that gays, lesbians, and over-30s should be charged more than their younger and hetero counter parts? The key word is consistently, because that feels like targeting. Why not have a flat fee structure, since we're all created equal in the pursuit of a romantic partner? If Tinder wanted to make more money, then just increase the base cost for everyone, not just for certain people in protected classes.

Can anyone imagine if Netflix said, hey we're gonna increase the price for gay and old people by 20%. Like Why? Everyone enjoys watching movies and shows, it's not like gay and older people have more fun watching them than heteros. It's equal enjoyment.

When it comes to the shape of the steering device, a wheel has more scope for fine-tuning of the direction than a lever, or joy-stick.

What I learned from coding on an iPad for two weeks
I wonder what a comparable gasoline car would have consumed in fuel if idled with the passenger compartment heat on for an identical 12 hour period of time in the same ambient temperature.
Not really. My understanding of the opinion (which I don't share, FWIW, and you probably know this) is that the null dereference should not be deleted, and it should be marked as an undeleteable trap similar to what an out-of-bounds access might be in Rust. That is, not unreachable in the sense of "code can never reach here", but unreachable in the sense that if it is hit then no other code executes.
I wish they'd ship US ANSI keyboard in Europe, I would totally pick one up.
This is a very good example of how you can save yourself the mental hurdle of remembering how to configure something etc.

I can only suspect how much time, trial and error this must've taken. This is my main issue with IaC. The concept really lends itself to any kind of modern infra, however I'm really put off by the sheer amount of time it takes me to whip out a bunch of Ansible playbooks and helper scripts, and on top of that make sure that all of them are idempotent.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong and this should be easy?
Wow, scrolling to the end, where he shows the edits, it's not even subtle changes. He changes "a girl asked why I write" to "a girl asked why my writing is so vulgar". It feels like the editor thought he was "juicing up" the story and giving readers what they want. He also makes the grammar INCREDIBLy proper, more proper than most editors would. It feels like he just likes editing stuff.
> listened to feedback and fixed the issues before shipping. That’s an important thing for a product that every Apple customer uses every day on every device. It’s one thing to make a mistake, it’s a wholly different thing to deny that anything’s wrong.

If not, I guess they haven't had the pleasure of the full Apple experience yet.
Yes, they have been pushing it for a long time. But its a major undertaking, so things take time. I think its just even more impressive that they have managed to push a decade long project steadily forwards. The latest memorandum that I linked even had a short summary of the previous initiatives:

> In August 2005, OMB issued M-05-22, Transition Planning for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), requiring agencies to enable 1Pv6 on their backbone networks by June 30, 2008. This policy outlined deployment and acquisition requirements. In September 2010, OMB issued a memo entitled "Transition to IPv6," requiring Federal agencies to operationa11y deploy native IPv6 for public Internet servers and internal applications that communicate with public servers. Specifically, the 2010 memorandum required agencies to upgrade public/external facing servers and services (e.g., web, email, DNS, ISP services) to operationa11y use native IPv6 by the end of FY 2012; and to and to upgrade internal client applications that communicate with public Internet servers and supporting enterprise networks to operationally use native IPv6 by the end of FY 2014

So that 2005 memorandum laid out groundwork to setup basic ipv6 backbone networks, and mandate purchases to be ipv6 compatible. That has been happening in the past 15 years so that now we are at the point that the latest memorandum is aiming to transitioning to IPv6-only deployments. If they set the requirement to be largely IPv6-only in just couple of years, then they must believe that there is good readiness for that at the moment, and I would like to think they have done their homework here.
This is somewhat unobservant? Tesla sells a million EVs/year (and is on track to sell two million in 2022). A variety of Chinese electric bus manufacturers, in aggregate, sell ~60k battery electric busses annually. Electrical charging infrastructure is becoming ubiquitous (electric power is everywhere, from the lowly 120V outlet to the 300kw fast DC charger at your local business), while there is so little hydrogen infra we can safely round down to zero for our purposes. Finally, at the end of a battery pack’s life, it can be recycled (Redwood Materials, started by Tesla’s ex-CTO JB Straubel already has begun ramping production of anode copper foils [1] for, wait for it, Panasonic, Tesla’s US battery cell provider).

EVs have already won, having pulled ahead of combustion vehicles and hydrogen vehicles are still stuck at the starting line.

Ohio has 5 metro areas and is decently well developed, with good schools. It's a bit culturally dull from a costal perspective (well mine anyway), but perfectly nice in most ways. I've enjoyed a number of visits to Cleveland and Columbus.
I am going to tell you something very depressing. Saving health insurance companies money (and taking a cut of the savings) is not a viable business model. Health insurance companies are pass through entities. They do not really care about the cost of treatments.

I'm using Tailscale on my home network. Right now my two most interesting use cases are 1) I have it installed on my Home Assistant VM so I can access it wherever I am without having to futz with internal vs external URLs, and 2) I have a few Raspberry Pi's scattered around the house running zwavejs2mqtt which doesn't have any authentication built in (i.e. anyone on my wifi could theoretically mess with my zwave network). I told it to listen on each Pi's Tailscale address and use ACLs to lock it down so just Home Assistant can talk to the websocket API.
This sounds like the neural net just learned how to identify an input parameter to the simulator based on some of its output.

It might be noteworthy if we could assume the simulator's behavior is equivalent to natural laws and starting conditions to within some absurdly small error bound, but there's no way that level of accuracy is possible (unless I'm mistaken).
I have no problem with the notion that certain words should be used with care. Rape jokes are generally in very bad taste. Flippantly using the word is rather uncouth.

I also think there is balance. The fact that some claim offense or hurt at a word does not mean no one should use it.
Well, largely because the Arab countries are not. They do bad things, yes. They did a one-time expulsion of Jews, which is now no longer on going. They have highly discriminatory immigration policies. They have abusive "guest worker" programs that end up as de-facto slavery for many. These are pretty bad things (though discriminatory immigration policies is pretty uniform, the world over), but these things are not generally what people mean by apartheid.

It's not fully fair to describe Israel as apartheid either. Its actual citizens largely have the same rights on paper no matter ethnicity or religion (though the religious marriage laws are an oddity, and the inability to intermarry does make it comparable to those prohibiting interracial marriage in South Africa).

But it is actually somewhat fair to compare Israel to apartheid South Africa. They have an active, ongoing separation of populations into segregated areas and even nominally independent states, that have no effective autonomy due to the overwhelming power and actual physical control of Israel. The Gaza strip and the West Bank are nearly direct equivalents of South Africa's bantustans. If you accept that Israel does have real sovereignty over all the territory it occupies, the differences in how it treats different people really don't seem just.
