That’s exactly what they are doing. They are profiling for risk and thinning their portfolio with anything aberrant or risk-inducing.

Insurance companies also use location data for this. All of the data people aren’t concerned about losing on social networks and cell providers is being used for these purposes too. And it’s really just started since 2018 or so to get implemented in insurance companies.

The insurance companies are always looking for mitigation technologies that help reduce portfolio risk. Their biggest problems have been dealing with the tidal wave of data and determining what data is worth using for evaluation purposes, but from what I’ve seen they’re starting to figure it out. Might seem arbitrary to drop some guy for his cluttered yard, but it’s so very not.

Just wait, without guaranteed rights to privacy it’s going to be a pretty massive tidal wave of “personalized insurance rates” based on a plethora of data people can’t quite conceive of at the moment.
Sorta burying the concern under a thin blanket of euphemism there...
Season 2 captured so much of my 1980s kid "this is the space future I was promised". At the time my uncle even worked on projects at Nasa and would describe some of the ideals of the space shuttle program in a way that For All Mankind Season 2 captured that boring reality never quite did, especially after the Challenger disaster.

(Plus, spoilers: Project Orion in that season! Which is one of the things that I can point to where FAM's timeline is maybe worse than ours, as it is fun to bring up every time people suggest they can't watch FAM because it is too "utopian". Project Orion was in part cancelled because of advances in cancer research, especially with respect to radiation. The FAM timeline seems to be spending so much on aerospace at the expense of cancer research among other things, and things like the 80s and 90s fights against tobacco seem almost non-existent in that timeline. People are still smoking nearly as much in that timeline's 80s as they did in the 50s. There are no signs of the near ubiquitous anti-tobacco PSAs of our timeline's 80s and 90s. I don't know how much the writers are intentionally working in such trade-offs, versus just trying to maintain storylines and aesthetics across its decade jumps, but it makes a ton of sense that there would be such trade-offs. Similarly, there are signs that civil rights are still generally worse in that timeline than ours, especially gay rights and feminism.)
Would they be within their rights to lie about having done so? The all-seeing, eye in the sky drone can be to lie about evidence or its sources. To me, that is the bigger issue here.
I consider it idiocy because you can have the same utility without putting control of your home into someone else's hands.

Of course. It's absolutely no skin off my back. I'm just expressing that I don't understand why people choose to do this. It's also true that I don't need to understand! But I am curious.
Yea I’ve never rlly understood the Reddit users that r frustrated at the mods for this specifically. It’s definitely unfortunate, and I haven’t gone on Reddit in over a month as a result. Altho u basically already answered it:

Wow. Just about every statement in that article is wrong. At least it wasn't just a collection of random paragraphs about type systems.
There is a lot of strategy in Diablo 1. Unlike Diablo 2, you are much less able to just wade into hordes of monsters.

Sure, you camped at doorways and killed monsters as they pathed in front of you individually.

Though, I'm not sure I'd classify that as "a lot of strategy".
> They're fitting a curve between expense of (installation and maintenance) vs (profit from charges sold).

Interesting, as there's clearly a high up-front cost from some of: contract negotiation/land purchase or rent/electricity infrastructure/charger parts/charger installation, and an ongoing cost of maintenance and electricity.

I wonder how big the fixed upfront costs are (especially land-related, and electricity infra) versus the physical charger itself? I have a sneaking suspicion that the chargers themselves may be a surprisingly small part of the overall cost.

This[0] suggests that Tesla may also have optimised the cost of their superchargers (assuming they weren't pricing them down for the bid discussed.)

Yes I know. The italic tag is not for icons.
Yes, my point is just that since all the "strn" C string-handling functions in the standard library use a size_t for the size if you've got more than INT_MAX characters there's not necessarily any problem. INT_MAX is pretty much always going to be lower than SIZE_MAX, even on 32-bit systems since the former is signed and the latter isn't. You just call snprintf or whatnot as usual. If you manage to have more than SIZE_MAX characters, then you have a problem. Libc probably can't solve it for you though, since SIZE_MAX has to be large enough to cover any allocation so you have some sort of segmented architecture that the C standard library isn't expecting.
One thing I love about NixOS so far is that when they do a rename, they can print a deprecation warning every time you use the old name while evaluating your config. When I get a moment, I go through and fix them.

You could probably do something similar in a traditional distro by creating an alias package that prints a warning on install, but then you actually have to watch the install logs to see that.

The much bemoaned waterfall is not a development methodology, it's a project management methodology. The developers had no process at all. That's an important point missed by developers who've never known anything other than agile development. From a developer's perspective it's not agile or waterfall, it's agile or nothing at all (typically). Agile, with its warts and all, is far better than nothing at all.

What if the thing in question is something that a majority of humans would agree is worth doing, but there is no way to extract profit? Which is to say, that the loop of capital goods -> apply labor -> extract value from labor -> accumulate more capital goods, does not map well to solving the problem / doing the work, etc?

By your logic, insider trading would be just fine.

For a market to function properly, information pertinent to traded value has to flow freely. The more you stifle that, the more rigged the market. Essentially, you sustain a monopoly that way.

Of course, people in possession of such "insider information" believe themselves in the right to profit from it. But that perspective is obviously biased and reveals a fundamental conflict between public good and private ownership. From the public perspective, the market works best when monopolies are dissolved quickly.

Of all the "Better C" programming languages I've tried so far, Odin is my favorite. Somehow it feels very ergonomic and familiar to a C programmer. Zig has many cool things, but I'm always second guessing myself and trying to figure out the "right" way to do things. But writing Odin is really nice and feels fun.

I have high expectations from Odin going forward, but there are some pain points hopefully will get resolved in the future.

unsurprisingly, you are completely backwards. The ability to anticipate inspection, and respond to demands, is central to property law -- law in the making for hundreds of years. The new twist is the ability to take high-resolution evidence from a distance, without announcing it, and keep that evidence unknown to the property owner.
Of course there is a grace period. Lenders lose a lot of money on the typical foreclosure and are in no rush to foreclose upon a property. They will work with the homeowner for a while to resolve any issues before resorting to foreclosure.
That's ok, the bits past the low bits are just there to avoid collisions, not an actual measure of high precision time beyond the low bits.

It's not worse than the hash solution, I'm just saying it's not necessary to hash it if the only objective is to reduce collisions.

In fact the hashing solution, if it is replacing the low bits with a hash of low bits plus something else, is actually destroying valuable time information.

I understand your sentiment, but the mortgage was issued conditional on maintaining home insurance.

Without an active policy, the lender is subject to much greater risk. If the house burns down sans insurance, the lender is now SOL.

And as the sibling response states, foreclosure is rarely a fast process. The problem is it can be very hard to find a policy if there's a gap in coverage, even more so if insurers are leaving the market.
I wonder how Google would actually implement that, given that "Google Messages", as far as I can tell, isn't really a "platform" (as stated in the linked article) but rather a client for RCS, which needs mobile operator support to work on Android, and to my knowledge does not work at all on iOS.

Same. As far as I’m concerned, Reddit closed up shop.
Capitalism, shareholder or otherwise, is a mechanism to optimize production, not a grand model for entire society. This statement does not imply socialism or other forms of heavy central government intervention. Rather, at the start of industrial revolution, and in poorest parts of the world today, having a full stomach and some clothes on your back is the most important thing. But as society becomes more prosperous, priorities other than optimizing production can be addressed, and public companies dedicated to only optimizing shareholder value are not the best tool to address these. Can be for profit and non profit organizations with charter than explicitly ranks different priorities. Can be services by local government, where everyone can easy move if they don't like tax/benefit balance. And so on.
You're missing the point: If the working class becomes the ruling one finally the majority rules, not a rich elite.
The copyright situation with music is kinda broken, different parts of the performance get quite different priority when it comes to copyright (many core elements of a performance get basically no protection, whereas the threshold for what counds as a protectable melody is absurdly low). Especially this means its less than worthless for some genres/traditions: for jazz and blues, especially, a huge part of the genre and culture is adapting and playing with a shared language of common riffs.

> I guess the solution would be to add an explicit API to create a GC root, invoked by native methods (which is a bit complicated by the fact that I use a moving collector).

This is why I do in the Wren VM. Any time a native C function has the only reference to a GC-managed object and it's possible for a collection to occur, it calls a function to temporarily add the object to a list of known roots.
Presumably the company pays the lawyers?
I’ve never heard of a lender foreclosing for no insurance. Usually they’ll force sign you up for some captive insurance company or insurance of last resort, and add the cost onto your monthly payment.
Alpine has at least the following deficiencies:

I have been very connected over the past 2 years, growing a coding focussed Instagram to 100K followers. The past 6 months I have radically stepped back and boy do I feel better.

For me the issue was the drip, drip, drip of every social cause there is. I care and an empathetic about all of them but seeing a mention of x, y and z every few minutes gets wearing. You feel like you can't enjoy things.

My over active brain churns on the topics constantly, looking at all sides and view points regardless of if I want to think about the topic.

Far from being a highlights reel of other people's lives social media has become a reel of everyones opinions (positive and negative on every topic and social cause/injustice) and it's exhausting.

If only there were some quantitative data that tracks trends over time over the last century; like temperature, growing season, ice core consistency.

If only there were some climate disaster with 3 intersecting 100 year storms in 1993 that impacted the entire US East Coast, it could even be made into a movie with George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, and Diane lane.

"100 year" flooding events in New Orleans, Houston, Germany, Spain, England, Mississippi, Italy.

"100 year" drought events in Spain, Mississippi, US West.

"100 year" forest fires in Siberia, California, Canada, Greece.

Gee, the climate isn't changing at all.

I was thinking about subtle ways we've adapted as I watched a classic car event in the South East United States, recently. Wow, just 50 years ago, air conditioning was an option (still not on USPS or UPS trucks); 30 years ago we didn't have window tint. Our houses now have low e windows, we have better insulation, better polyurethane foam sealing, bigger and more air conditioners. But the climate isn't changing?
But it's what is happening in societies, that are not even capitalistic. Some people are making "friends" only to gain some material (or equivalent) benefits, parents can view their children as an investment too, even the coupling of nobles in dynasties where politically motivated in the past.

That's a fair enough way to think about this from some angle. Specifically I guess the citizenship one which clearly makes people Americans way earlier than my scenario.

It's not as easy as that though on a more philosophical level and from various different angles. E.g. think yourself back to the days those Asian tribes presumably came to America. I read it was three waves. Was the first wave the only true "native Americans" then and the second wave was an immigrant already? That became "native" when and how then? (never mind that there was no such thing as citizenship of a country at that time)
I don't think it's that simple: The US Air Force doesn't give a damn if some farmer buys up nearby land and uses it for farming. They do care if it's a foreign entity trying to use bulk land purchases to spy on or otherwise harm the United States or its people.

The real problem here is the lack of transparency in ownership of corporations in the United States. If corporations weren't allowed to buy--then keep--other corporations (instead of just absorbing all their assets) this wouldn't be a problem.

Rant: I don't think corporations should be allowed to sell brands that don't include the name of the corporation clearly marked on the packaging. Walmart's Equate products all say they're manufactured by and for Walmart right on the bottle/box/whatever. Every product should be like that. Any and all corporations that own a brand should be on the label. From the bottom all the way to the top. The whole child-parent tree should be present.
Best places to get some cheaper clothes! I found a whole bunch of awesome shirts... picked them all out.

There are downsides to this approach because it uses internal iteration while most things in Rust use external iteration. But shit happens. Go doesn't even have a first class concept of iterators as an abstraction (yet), and its standard library contains patterns for both internal (sync.Map) and external (bufio.Scanner) iteration.

> The only thing I can think to do is have a `scan()` method that finds the next newline and notes its location inside the `Lines` struct and a separate `line()` method that actually fetches the resulting slice from the buffer.

Yup that works too. That's basically the design used by the `streaming-iterator` crate: https://docs.rs/streaming-iterator/latest/streaming_iterator...

> I don't run into this in C or Go

Of course you don't. Neither C or Go even have abstractions called "iteration" at all. They have patterns for them. And Go lets you iterate over a fixed set of built-in types. (Currently. Maybe it's changing: https://research.swtch.com/coro)

Besides, Go has a garbage collector. You should expect all sorts of patterns involving memory/copying to change when you move from a language with a GC to one without.

You can get device manifests before the gear even ships, including MAC addresses, serials, out of band NIC MAC, etc. We pre-stage our configurations based on this, have everything ready to go (rack location/RU, switch ports, PDUs, DHCP/DNS).
