i think it makes more sense to become a management consultant and in his spare time contribute to open source or work on software for fun for himself.
"Not a bug...a hair"
It's nontrivial because the price discrimination isn't perfect, and the paper looks at a number of secondary considerations (most notably the assumption that pricing dynamicalkly purely based on how far in advance bookings are made captures the difference between a class of business travellers who prefer a situation in which they have to pay even higher prices to ensure seats are available with a day or two's notice, and leisure travellers whose flexibility around travel dates means they care more about price than availability of the lowest price tickets)

I do agree that it's unremarkable that price discrimination results in higher total welfare than uniform prices though, and all the other conclusions are completely in line with expectations. Its also the case that the airline's own price discrimination models will be more sophisticated with access to better (commercially sensitive) data than this stylised version
Pretty bad for a system as crucial as this to be this bad in 2020. Honda ought to know better.
Encourage him to take some classes online. If he has fun and then says he wants to be a professional programmer, your role is to honor and support that choice. Help him figure out which tools can be learned quickly and he can get paid for. Let him know it's okay to be slow. Help him when he's frustrated. Consider the possibility he may be using this as a way to know more about you.

Good luck to him and to you. He seems like a cool dude.
A long time ago, I used to read mangas on Mangarock. It was completely free to and seemed to have most of the mangas. So, what value are u adding here?
Oh yeah, the same Kevin Roose who years ago claimed that early stage startup CEOs made a million (maybe half a million?) a year in cash or something absurd along those lines.

I don't have anything against the guy, but he seems completely disconnected from reality when it comes to his writing. It gets clicks, but it also shows either no interest in doing real research, or the desire the create a one-sided narrative.

The economic impact payments totaled $3200 over the whole year. Is there anywhere in America where that is enough to live on?

Calling it a failed experiment is ridiculous - it was infrequent and an order of magnitude too small.

I actually don't know of any studies of the nature I suggested. Note such a study would be fairly expensive as the cost of standardized high-quality one-on-one tutoring (with both mental and physical coaches) over a period of one year for the study cohort would be rather high, so such studies may simply not exist.

It's not soapboxing; in particular it would be interesting to see if the 'ability to learn and improve' changed with age. It's commonly assumed that it's harder to learn new things as we age, but I've never seen that data quantified personally... Hopefully it's less true than we imagine it to be.

the media issue is solved by using a more modern client that can generate embeds (e.g. glowing-bear for weechat-relay).
That leaves the whole setup of the application server that the EAR file needs out of the picture though. That stuff is not specified declaritively anywhere in the EAR, so it's just a wildcard that can make your application work or not work depending on version and configuration.
Except they're not really close because in one case, the government is handing you tax payer money in exchange for potential growth and revenue for the city whereas in the other case you are paying a specific government official for personal gain.

I used swipe typing and I was a little bit off and didn't notice it. Oops. But I think it's pretty clear from the sentence what I intended.
For a moment, take away the fact that this is your dad. Imagine a friend of yours with a background of "well, I took CS101 as a freshman" wanted to go into business with you. The pitch is that you use your experience and business contacts from being a thriving contactor in order to find and make deals and then you give the work to your friend to program the implementation. What sort of knowledge gap would exist between "learned the basics n years ago" and "someone you'd feel comfortable outsourcing work to in your real, actual professional life"?

Spell out everything that your hypothetical friend would have to go and learn for you to feel comfortable giving him even the most junior-level coding responsibilities or vouching for him as a "yeah, this guy can do the job" to a professional contact of yours. Write it all down, show it to your dad, and spell out the effort involved. That's what he's looking at learning in order to be taken seriously in the marketplace.

(I'd venture that some kind of consulting/contracting is what he'd wind up doing, both because I don't think many companies would take a resume like his seriously for a junior developer position and also because I don't think someone who's been at the top of the org chart would tolerate going to the bottom of the org chart for very long.)

2017 and 2018 vehicles. That's pretty surprisingly recent!

I understand that, in general, door locks aren't considered to be very high-security in vehicles: doors can be opened in other ways. But remote start is a very big deal. Article doesn't mention whether the car prevents people from driving away after it's been started. I would have loved to see a portion of the video where they tried to shift into D and move the car.
How would one go about reverse-engineering Bluetooth LE? Is it looking at packets through WireShark?
Absolutely this.. Things in India have changed a lot in the last decade. Passports are one example. It used to take months when I was a kid. My first passport took 3 months from application to getting it in hand and needed an "agent". My last one was through "taktal" - expedited application by paying extra fees and I got an SMS that the passport was sent to the printers by the time I walked out of the passport office. Another sms that it was dispatched next day and the day after I had it in my hand. No bribes, no agents, super smooth.

For the common person, the most corrupt organizations they would encounter is around land and house registration, cops and maybe the DMV. If you work for the government, then it gets even worse as you are expected to pay for the job, pay for transfer to a nicer place etc. However, it is getting better every year.
The real problem is not the fines, but to comply to all of them.

For example, EU article 13 has a direct impact on my product (my users can upload custom resources). Good thing that Belgium didn't implement it yet. But when they do, I probably need to move my business to Delaware or something.

They claim that article 13 is to reign in the big companies like YouTube. But in the end this also makes sure that EU has a hard time of building their own YouTube.

Anyway, I looked into it, and it seems possible for me to move my business abroad when we get that far.

But all this basically proves my point. It's easier to build a startup when you are outside of the EU.

Try searching for some objectives data, e.g.:

* Estimated Iraqi civilian fatalities: from 3k to 7k in 1 month, 1 week and 4 days [1]

* Estimated Ukrainian civilian fatalities: from 1k (according to UN) to 4k (according to Ukraine) in 1 month [2]

In short, Western news are unsurprisingly biased towards the Western perspective.

Edit: note also that Ukraine has a larger populations than Iraq, so I'd expect more civilian casualties in Ukraine than in Iraq, but actually there are less.

I very often, though, this is how privatization schemes end up working. The private sector takes over the most profitable consumers, leaving the unprofitable, costly customers to the public sector.

And realistically, if a voucher policy were implemented, it is unlikely that it will be perfectly designed. Unfortunately public policy is not driven entirely by well designed models.
I would recommend switching to their Events API. Webhooks are great until they aren’t. Querying the Events API means you are able to resume if GitHub, your network or your Raspberry Pi was down.

And bonus, your pi doesn’t need to be exposed to the world.
> why aren't we raising awareness about thousands of other political, social and economic issues around the world that actually need awareness

Our lives are going to change. Depending on how concerned and committed western people will be, we'll have to face a major energy crisis, or give up our democracies for cheap oil & gas. If trump is re elected, I see nothing good coming for the west. We are living crucial times, fascism is back in full force, our medias and politicians are being bought one by one with dirty russian money. And fascists don't feel the need to hide anymore.

But people fail to see why this war isn't yet another political, social or economical "issue". I looks like we're in for a very dark age...

You might wish to consult those laws yourself before you call random shit a war crime...
Not strictly all. You still have more time on the days you work from home, which you could use to be social.

But yeah, if everyone is "hybrid", then the pressure on the housing market is unlikely to go down enough, which means that many people may find themselves in living conditions poor for remote work, which means they're more likely to go more often to the office, which means they're back to where they started...
My honest opinion on tech is simple, if you arent good at leetcode your growth as a developer is limited. Move out ASAP:

if (can solve hard leetcode problems) {

return moveToFAANG;

} else {

// move out of developer roles

return moveToManagement(bestBrandedCompanyCanGetInto).asynchronous(workOnOwnCompanyInFreeTime);

}
Doing some quick image searches for teardowns, it seems that different models have been done both ways. Some with spherical bearings and some with intersecting cylinders. It makes some sense that either way works, as you're only ever rotating around one axis at a time.
As I understand it, the new money that's 'created'(not even minted as paper money is pretty niche now) by the government is given to the banks to invest.

"Mischief", supposedly, among other terms. But such "terms of venery" are usually Victorian parlor games, not actually used in practice. Any of the words you used is fine.
It is very important, in some contexts, to distinguish between Republican voters and Republican politicians. What you hear if you talk to the former can be wildly different from what the latter deliver and even what they make planks of their party platform.

Notably, the voters tend not to like neoliberalism and globalization and to be big fans of "why don't they just..." solutions for various problems—say, "why don't they just build a wall at the border?" Sound like any recent, prominent R politicians? Yep—he seems to have noticed the large gap between the Republican Party platform and what the average Republican voter you talk to at a diner says they want, then exploited that gap, which worked because the gap is very real and pretty large.

This occasionally got a bit weird, like in some of his speeches about how he'd provide "beautiful" healthcare to everyone, which seemed strangely close to some kind of (very vague) messaging about adding a public option of some kind of universal coverage and was met with cheering by his audience. This is because left- and right-wing populism in the US share a surprising amount in common, but those issues and commonalities are often ignored or deliberately sidelined by party elites. This is related to how laws that get passed and policies that are enacted are disturbingly disconnected from public sentiment generally.

(none of this should be taken as an endorsement of the former president, I'm just observing the lay of the electoral landscape and how he exploited that. I am also not claiming that a similar difference between typical voters and party leaders/platform doesn't exist for the Democrats—it absolutely does. This is all probably a result of our really shitty FPTP elections.)
The population that pays taxes to fund schools is much larger than the population that has children in school. It isn’t “their” money.
Does Adium not compile on newer versions of macOS? Development appears to have slowed down, but it doesn't look completely abandoned. I might try to feed it to Xcode on my hackintosh if only to see what kinds of errors crop up.

That said, I've switched back to terminal-based IRC clients, so I haven't run either Pidgin or Adium in probably 10 years. It's sad. Both were really good tools.
If you get a cheap printer you have to buy expensive paper.

I have the worst time printing in my house because the relative humidity level is very high in the summer. In the summer when my hair is curling and curling and curling from the humidity I have prints curling and trying to come off the walls. (In the winter I complain that static electricity is making my hair stand up on end.)

You can't save money by buying 20 reams of paper on discount from Staples because the paper will soak up water and misbehave when you try to use it.

Missing the target and hitting civilians?

Sounds right to me. In fact that’s one of the main reasons why we have different nations and borders in the first place. We should not assume our WEIRD values are universal.

Ironically, if you google "is speak good english grammatically correct" there are a lot of articles debating whether it's ok, or if "speak English well" is better. This is the kind of subtlety that's hard to understand for non-native speakers.

Are you saying we shouldn't even try?
Those annual trainings are there to show compliance.

And also obeisance -- on the part of the person required to sit through these trainings (and pretend that they had some connection to reality).
My French bank was welcoming me for A YEAR AND A HALF with a blocking page (I neeed to click ok I understand twice to go further) when I was loggong in, saying in essence "because of the new law blah blah, you need to provide us the following document: ". And that is all there was. No mention of the nature of the document.

I called them every 15 days and the help line guy or gal was telling me "impossible, you cannot have this page". Despite having sent them a screenshot.

Then one day it was gone. Came back a year later, and gone again after two months.

I really like the bank so I did not switch but I was close to do so.
Awesome idea, but "cotowali" is a truly terrible gibberish sounding name, maybe even worse than klubernetes.
Thinking in terms of risk and who bears it is the right way to think. Thanks for bringing this up.
Yes, we live in a pluralistic society. We still have a certain amount of base values and organizations and institutions that accompany that. The right to an education is enshrined in the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights a multilateral treaty adopted by the UN General Assembly.

I think there is some value in establishing the fact that the positions you initially argued were morally neutral are now being established as moral positions. There is also some merits to the discussion of the consequences of each of these policies. You've advanced two positions that take money away from special needs students for other students in ways that deny their right to an education. I'm glad you now somewhat acknowledge that consequence by appealing to arguments that seem to amount to "Education is not a right and even if it is, that doesn't mean special needs assistants are necessary to provide that right." I think it's useful to expose the position that is a consequence of a seemingly much more benign funding claim. I suspect many people might have a surface level agreement with the initial funding policy but will nonetheless reject the idea when they see the consequences on the right to education. Just because we have different moral positions doesn't make all positions equally valid and exploring the consequences of moral positions is still a useful exercise.

There is an important distinction in this law. Paying an official to do something he would have done anyway is not a bribe, even if in the absence of it they might have never "gotten around to it".

It's specifically things like this article alleges, kickbacks to officials involved in procurement decisions.

Interestingly this isn't just for engineers. I know someone who was looking at a role offered by a crypto exchange for a company secretary but they were having a hard time attracting people from the traditional finance industry into the realm of crypto.
Not to mention that anytime I see extremely high pay in crypto companies I think the salary is overinflated because they are paying a large portion in tokens.

This format of critique is so snarky and tribalistic. I enjoy it sometimes, particularly John Gruber's "translations from corporate bullshit" articles, but there's no point in denying that this format works best for preaching to the choir, not nuanced analysis. Original NYT article was very biased; so is this one.
I'm a heavy Pidgin user during undergraduate days (2006-2010), when Yahoo Messenger was still really popular.

If you're not working fully async, you can always ask the person to schedule a call where you can discuss X if you can't come up with one simple question.
I can't speak to Python beyond the fairly minimal touch points I have with our projects, but Python anecdotally seems much rougher than it should be in many respects. But pretty much everything I touch (Node, Java, Ruby, dotnet-core) ends up being solved with asdf, a Brewfile for the Mac users and yum-and-xargs for the Fedora folks (me), in very short order. As far as new machines go, I have a shell script that I share with new folks (and my own version for a new machine) that just gets things done. (Used to use chef-zero, but that got really crusty.)

I like Docker for a lot of things. That said, on code inside containers is pretty awful, in my experience, and I'd much rather use docker-compose with something like Traefik to route outside Docker so I can run my service locally and everything works as I expect it. You can always tell a project that I work on because there's a bash script in there that fires up tmux with docker-compose, all services under nodemon, ngrok, etc. all good to go. ;)
The Wargaming hobby is largely about logistics though. Wargamers play Hearts of Iron for a reason, as well as "Campaign for Africa" (and start counting your "pasta" tokens, which require an additional "water" token to cook, etc. etc.).

If anything, the USA's obsession over logistics is pretty damn obvious when it comes to games we all enjoy. SimCity, Farmville, Cookie clicker, OpenTTD, Two Point Hospital / Theme Hospital, Rollercoaster Tycoon.

Even Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 has a weight assigned to every object, rules for how much a cart can carry, the number of horses needed for your cart, the relationship of the strength of the horse multiplied by the quadruped bonus vs the dragging capabilities (not the lift-capabilities of the creature) + the large bonus applied to the creature. etc. etc.

Yes, I'm that dungeon master who makes his players explain to me, in detail, how they really moved the 100,000 coin from the dragon hoard to their base. 50 coin is a pound, so that's 2000 pounds they have to move. Bag of Holding / Magic can only carry a few hundred pounds, and there's lots of other treasure around.
Well that's the fastest I've purchased anything in a while.
The point is that a "destroyed credit rating" only matters if your credit rating matters.

For many people, their credit rating is irrelevant.

For folks with unpaid medical bills, their credit rating is often in the crapper anyway (because loss of income tends to do that), so unpaid medical bills don't matter.

I was also surprised by this. I moved country and was shocked that none of my phonebook worked and I needed to run a script to add a +1 to all of the non-international numbers in my phonebook.

Maybe phones don't necessarily know the current international prefix?
