> If police are willing to entertain a check signed by you is fraudulent they should be willing to do the same for epayments.

The police, along with bank employees, generally aren't great at simultaneously entertaining multiple possibilities. Rather they rely on crude pattern matching, with regulations to protect your rights. If a bank is able to close your case as a matter of "user error" and move on, it is likely to do so.

You have blown up this thread asserting the complete equivalence of two things that are apparently very similar in the society you are used to, but not in others. In the US, there have been plenty of cases of people having to fight their bank because of forged transactions on some new "100% secure" digital scheme - the all too common trope of humans believing computers as authoritative sources rather than critically examining their workings. So, please enjoy your society where you can rely on the system to behave reasonably in the face of newer technology, and please stop trying to gaslight those of us who can not.

There are two types of trust.

1. Will I trust this person to do their job competently?

2. Would I trust this person not to defect in a prisoners dilemma situation?

The second is what you need the personal connection for. There are two ways to work on a project, to make sure it has the highest chance of success, or to make sure when it fails you don't look like your to blame.

#2 is needed so that both parties take a chance on each other and don't optimize for throwing the other under the bus.
I don’t waste my time trying to convince anyone of anything unless it directly affects me.

That means the only person I have to convince of anything in my personal life right now is my wife and even that it’s related to shared goals. For instance she’s religious - I’m not. What’s the purpose of trying to convince her of anything.

If relatives have a different opinion when I eat dinner with them, I just nod and change the subject quickly to something not related to for instance religion and politics.

At work, I have to do some convincing. But even then, “I stay in my lane”. If it is a larger project and I’m only responsible for one slice, I will give my opinion on the rest. But they can take it or leave it.
The Portland city government cut the PPB budget by less than 10%. Yes that's a relatively large cut, but it is not the main driver of officers leaving the bureau. The underlying reason is politics.
I'm not sure if this is OP's meaning, but, in that book, the moderately-wealthy live in gated communities ("burbclaves") with private security forces, who have nonlethal weapons that trap people in some kind of sticky expanding foam. It's just a minor world-building detail. It shows up when the initial protagonist ("Y.T.") gets involved in a scuffle while delivering pizza to one of these burbclaves. Relatedly, the pizza franchise is owned by "Uncle Enzo", a likeable Italian-American mobster. So everything is in some sense a private protection racket run by one mob or another.
It depends on the locality. It is easy to forget even popular "tourist destinations" have their local population before they became so popular. Short term rentals have a very real effect on housing markets in such places.

Kauai is one of my favorite Hawaiian islands and has one of the strictest short term rental regulations. I truly believe if short term rentals are free for all it would end up being a billionaire's playground (more so than it already is) with no locals being able to afford housing at all.
Believe it or not it's around a 60% reduction in launch mass, so it should cut costs significantly. Tsiolkovsky equation do be like that. https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20140009943

As for all the human related needs, the ISS has been a decades long study on practically all of those. That's kind of why we have it.

Supplying the mission isn't really a fundamental problem since you can send multiple times redundant amounts of all the supplies there on the previous cycle. But yes if something goes wrong they're on their own to solve it for (2 years - time spent there), much like any other mission not in close proximity to Earth. That's why you don't send idiots.

And you're right that there's no point in debating it further, because no amount of arguing will stop humans landing on Mars sooner or later.
The picture is literally, "Salmon Sushi" (bottom left quadrant.)

the article above makes it sound like the Norwegians pushed Atlantic salmon on to the the Japanese, and that the first salmon sushi was "invented" by the Norwegians, Which is patently false.

> However, as it stands, "we must save civilization" is doublespeak for "you, hoi polloi, go and build an Elysium for me and my friends", just as the Qataris said to the slaves to build them stadiums [3]. And if you own less than $30 million [4], don't kid yourself, you are still hoi polloi.

This is farcical on the face of it. There is no situation where the "hoi polloi" are going to be building colonies. This is a creation of science fiction with no basis on reality. You need fundamentally significant amounts of money to leave the planet. We're talking hundreds of thousands per person. Some rich person is not going to ship off people who are unwilling or don't want to go..

Amazon Redshift specialist.

Web-site : https://www.amazonredshiftresearchproject.org

Email is on the site.

I offer consulting, rather than fingers-on-keys building-a-system.

For clients with existing systems, typically I explain how Redshift works, why they're having problems, and that it's the wrong database for their use cases.

For greenfield clients, typically I explain how Redshift works, why they would have problems, and that it's the wrong database for their use cases.

Almost all clients end up planning to change database; Redshift is not a general purpose database, scales when and only when correctly operated, and correct operation is demanding in many ways.

However, for the use case it does have, which is timely SQL on Big Data, there are no other options; you have to be relational to get SQL, and you must sort to be timely, and sorting has profound implications throughout the data design, ETL system and user base.

In all cases, explaining the necessary information almost always takes two or three hours all told, and that's the job done, but it took five years of specializing in Redshift to learn enough to do that, so I have to charge a reasonable amount, 500 USD flat rate, but there's an honour system : you pay only if you think you got your money's worth.

I've had those on and off in 25+ years since HS/college, but they've been more ... regular in the last few years. Not every night, but I think I have "didn't go to class" dreams (nightmares?) probably every other month now. Usually it's a college class, not HS, but same thing. Sometimes when waking up... it still feels real, and I need a moment to double check I'm really... here and not in the past about to fail a test.

You’re right - whether being oppressed by people with the veneer of accountability or by a private military force without any, we should just shut up and accept it all as-is because there can’t possibly be any other way to have security.

> [...] the universe, including Earth, does not care or need to care about humanity in order to keep on existing.

This objection is technically correct, but misses the point completely. It's irrelevant whether "the universe" cares – all that matters to humanity is whether humans care. And they do care about the survival of their species.
how did you get that interpretation from any of this?

regardless, a for-profit company should not use its runway on ideals as it won't last very long, it has to build and find ways to be known about beyond its small community. that's what this is about.

Using the "eugenics" angle to argue against people who want a sustainable world (while parroting the agenda of Elon "let's all move to Mars" Musk who believes he is such a superior being he needs to grace the world with 10+ kids) is uproarious when it comes from a camp is viciously against immigration.

Every day I..

1. Run

2. Think about my death

3. Try to eat only food grown in the ground.

I am not alone in doing [2], in fact I found out its a national tradition in Bhutan: https://medium.com/the-ascent/in-bhutan-people-think-about-d... - it sounds strange and I am not I recommending it to everyone, but it's totally changed my mindset on life and dissolved my depression and anxiety. I find when I focus my thoughts on the fact that I will die, and I have no idea when that will be, I feel a profound deep feeling of gratitude. The small trivial things don't matter anymore.

Two the biggest dysfunctions we have in western society are worship of youth and an irrational fear of death, to the point we don't feel comfortable to speak about it. We would rather pretend it does not exist and happens to other people.
No, but it would be fine as a normal submission.

> Currently the people in Antarctica are there on research projects, increasing it to 20K people would imply what? Something other than research? What do you think will be required to make Antarctica housing of 20K people for 100 years economically viable.

This is besides the fact that we've mandated by international law that Antarctica is forbidden from being "economically viable" because of the restriction on any economic activity. Plentiful (more than 20K) people live and work in the far northern arctic on the European and the North American continent with conditions roughly equivalent to those seen in the less extreme portions of Antarctica.
Perhaps they rely on some flawed signals to make their decisions such how many positive reviews you have (the buyer) vs seller's reviews(i.e who is more likely to lie).

There could also be bad faith from Airbnb as some comments frame it but I believe most of the time it's just a tricky business. Check ebay and you see the same issues or even worse.
This didnt mention how much of policing has moved to spying through social and other internet media. it has now a large role
Based on this perspective, any argument about improving the lot of a human or humanity wound have to first make the case that it’s rational to care about humans in the first place.

Even if this position seems obvious to you, I respectfully would suggest you consider that most people do not hold extremely nihilistic views like this, and that a lack of nihilism is not naive.
That's a pretty shallow similarity to a financial crisis
Oh, cool, direct links to the relevant papers!

It's not always easy to find the relevant stuff in C++ land.

Thanks a lot!

I have to read this stuff first, but my gut feeling would still be that `constexpr` and such isn't reflection at all.

The `sizeof` example seems more in this direction (because some expression gets actually inspected).
Large population implies low quality existence, at least in a system of finite resources. Multiplication for the sake of it is almost a guarantee to suffering for some.

Would you mind elaborating a little on what you liked about Bitwarden over 1Password?
Exactly. Things are just complex, and who wants to wire up a form library from scratch? All of the tools out there now (assuming you know which to choose) have made our lives easier, and (vastly) less bug ridden, then ever before. It's hard to know what to choose, but the domain itself is necessarily complicated.
> establishing a space station on mars to make it easier to travel the rest of the galaxy..

Considering that the "rest of the galaxy", aka the Milky Way is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 km give or take across, the 250,000,000 km to Mars aren't going to provide much of a head start.
Gun laws, you mean? Not technically, because the courts have temporarily halted measure 114, but if allowed to go into effect? Yes, absolutely.

114 is poorly written, with several "the authorities will develop and manage this process" without providing additional funding to do so, nor definite timelines. One example is background checks - currently if OSP doesn't complete the check in a certain timeframe (3 days) the FFL is allowed to release the firearm. Under 114, there is no limit. OSP can delay approvals forever, thus effectively denying certain people or groups of people from obtaining a firearm, all at their discretion.

There are other dumb things as well (i.e. many shotguns would be illegal because of the magazine capacity limit, the requirement for "approved" training, but little definition of what that looks lime, etc).

And through all of it, those who obtain firearms illegally will continue to do so, thus bypassing all these new measures anyway.
It seems like Airbnb is doing the gamification and manipulating it as well. I’d rather all reviews stay, good and bad and let the consumer decide for themselves. As soon as some reviews get promoted and others hidden I stop paying attention to them
Not a single one of your job listings includes a salary range required by NYC.
Not attacking you, but I’m not sure if this is privilege or not.

I’ve uprooted for greener pastures twice in my life, and it has paid off both times. If I didn’t, I’d be impoverished and possibly hooked on (the scary) drugs.

If fluffy social aspects outweigh your immediate economic concerns, it stands that you are privileged enough to make the choice to stay still.

On the other hand, uprooting requires a certain resilience and fortitude that not everyone has. People who can torch their old life to chase something better are privileged in a way too, are they not?
It seems the goal of these types of policy decisions is to ensure continuity and prevent catastrophes (i.e. a sudden loss of diversity). A range of potential populations could fit these criteria. Beyond that, agonizing about what you should do one way or the other seems egotistical to me. Just trust in the wisdom of the crowd.
Can anyone elucidate why code written in a functional style is harder to debug?

Is it really deprecated? Isn't MSI still the only installer type directly supported by Group Policy? My company had an enterprise customer request an MSI for that reason.
The difficulties arise when trust is single dimensional and the problems are multidimensional. If you trust someone professionally, but not personally, and there are personal conflicts or misunderstandings, you have no where to go.

> no one talks about Linux and it’s inconsistencies which are much more significant.

Except that with Linux you actually get to choose the desktop you want to use, and it's very possible to customize it yourself if you don't like the baked-in design.
> To me it still feels counterintuitive and almost magical that any large, arbitrary computation result can be easily verified without repeating the computation, without the verifier needing much memory or data.

Why counterintuitive? That’s kind of all of cryptography and most of computer science. Take factoring into primes (which has been done for forever): it’s really time consuming and expensive to determine what the prime factors for a number are, particularly if it’s a big number and you know it only has two. That’s because division is very very difficult and time consuming. Multiplication on the other hand is super cheap so once you tell me the prime factors, I can confirm much more quickly whether or not they’re factors.

In computer science, one of the earliest identified computation classes is NP complete which has this property. Eg traveling salesman and knapsack packing problem are examples. It can be insanely difficult to find a path that exists between two cities in a graph under some cost. But if you give me a solution I can easily confirm whether it meets the criteria (global optimality testing is itself NP complete but if you give me a set of solutions you can verify which one is the cheapest).

I’m not claiming that factorization is NP btw. There are complexity classes beyond NP that share this property. https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/159/is-integer-...

Anyway. ZK proofs themselves are super surprising and not intuitive but not because verification is fast but because verification reveals nothing to the verifier about the solution. That’s the mind blowing result.
