I really hope the FTC does act on this. In the meantime, I use privacy.com to create virtual cards for each service I sign up. Canceling is then as easy as turning the card off.

> If you're trying to hint at some "it happens all the time, it's just hidden from public view", it doesn't.

> Non-Indians literally don't care

These are contradicting statements. We know non-Indians don't care ... because most of us don't even know about it, at least in any capacity to have a strong opinion. Maybe non-Indians "literally" not caring is why "it's just hidden from public view"
We have plenty of solutions. Put it in glass cylinders like France. Bury it like Finland, Canada, or the US.

Yes, but I was mostly responding to the "no shirt, no shoes.." portion of the comment, and don't think that common carrier status goes quite far enough in terms of ensuring access. I also think that the status should include banking, and possibly internet hosting providers and services, not just client access.

I am faculty at University of Toronto. As part of the process of considering someone for tenure here, the university solicits six appraisals from relevant experts at other institutions. The candidate will not know who the referees are. Generally, the appraisals are positive; a negative appraisal may severely affect someone's tenure case.

I don't see the concern in this post as one of widespread caste discrimination at University of Toronto, but more that he's worried that a single prejudiced person might upset this, either an external referee, or someone internal involved in the decision-making process. In fact, that is exactly what he says.

> looking at IITM's CS faculty listing [2], I see at least 20+ faculty without caste-based surnames. How exactly did the author find their castes?

If I count correctly, there are 47 faculty members there. So that leaves potentially 20+ faculty members with caste based surnames. How many can you identify? Are any of them lower castes?

If caste isn't an issue, why is the only response "well, of course you can't tell caste, so there can't be discrimination", not "actually, they are plenty of lower caste people in faculty positions, and they're totally open about it, because it's not a big deal?"

If you don't want to have to talk to customers, which only one developer who I've ever worked with has actually wanted to do, you need a way to equip someone else to do so.

Same thing if you want to keep your investors happy, your counterparts in other departments informed of when they need to have the hardware to pair up with your software ready, etc.

There's definitely such a thing as too much overhead, but developers who just do the things they are interested in without considering that they are part of a larger business are the other side of the coin that you're describing.
This is indeed a religion, because in my experience people tend to feel strongly holding very different positions. You can already see it in this thread.

I think quantifying and prioritizing is key, like you wrote. Respected engineering organizations like Google and GitHub all came to the same place. Flakiness is often unevenly distributed, so find & tackle ones that are the worst. Don't try to eliminate the flakiness because that's not economically viable.

I'm trying to put my money where my mouth is... we'll see how it goes.
I interpret it as though he has a family, and struggles to prioritize them over the rat race. That's what I struggle with, and when I sit back and consider the impermanence of it all, it makes me want to spend more time with my family and close friends, and less time trying to get wealthy. Maybe I'm just getting old, but this has become so much clearer to me in recent years.
Reminded me of the epilogue to Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, which read:

What if differences in outcome are due to genetics? Do we then genetically engineer each group (this tech will soon be widespread) until all group outcomes are equalized?

Serious question btw, I have heard someone applauding this (and seeing it as likely to occur as an emergent phenomenon due to free market competition).

(As a humorous side-note: I heard someone say in an interview, "I hope that differences in intelligence are genetic, because then it means we can do something about it with technology. If not, we'd be doomed! When has a social policy ever produced the desired outcome?")

Fair point, I got the meaning wrong.
Agreed, "real pain" is a subjective/vague term and even crypto is a broad term. My intended use here is to describe solutions that are more grounded/integrated into reality vs. more grounded in a fantasy of how the world works. It is hard to describe well though and if you keep unrolling most perceptions of reality are subjective
The main limit is minimum transaction fees. A gas station is usually at least a $20 transaction. Since most level 2 charges are about $1 of electricity per hour, you're paying massive credit card fees for short charges. The apps all support some sort of balance to combine charges into large single transactions.

I don't think anyone will see this point of "not enough testing", when a car should not continue with a stop sign, road cone, or human on the hood, under any condition. I think most everyone will see this as expected and desired behavior, with a clear demonstration of safe handling of a dumb situation caused by some angry idiots.

Here's a question for anyone with this perspective: What should a fully tested, fully qualified, car do in this situation?

I see the "correct" answer as: immediately disable automation, and prompt a human for remote control.

What's your "correct" answer?

This is all opinion that could only be settled be a poll of those who became aware of this situation. I'm having trouble finding any, but this one from NY [1].

According to the article: "all charges that providers impose at their discretion, i.e., charges not mandated by a government." So they wouldn't need to include your school excise tax.

If they charge different fees depending on address (again, not taxes) then it seems like the intended effect to provide the actual price the consumer will pay.
The FCC did notice.

Providers are free, of course, to not pass these fees through to consumers

I wish more people knew about Privacy.com.

Using these virtual cards has been a life-saver.

Want to try a service for a month that doesn't do free trials? Hit that dark pattern with a single-use Privacy card and let the account lapse.

Want to join a gym but avoid their extremely predatory cancellation process? Boom; Privacy card that shit and term the card when you cancel.

Did you see a cool widget on a site that's notorious for getting pwned? Single use Privacy card that shit (or use Ironvest's Blur Virtual Cards if you want to use a credit card behind the scenes. Slightly more expensive and cumbersome though.)

No monthly subscription shall ever see the last four of my actual cards ever again. Gotta fight fire with fire.
But understand that modern CPUs have hyperthreading, meaning more than one independent thread of execution. A while(true) on one doesn't affect the other(s). So you won't notice much - other apps keep running.

Not because it isn't a resource disaster. But because unless you measure something, you might not notice.

Oh! You did measure something. Battery use and temp. There you go. It's a disaster. Some kind of management of such irresponsible threads is definitely a good idea.

The findings of the Lexmark International case(the link you have provided) are very important to understand in this context, as they provide us with all the information we need.

1. Is the software lock protected by copyright law? If so, no one should copy it.

2. Did McDonald's/Taylor defraud the users? If so, the users can sue them.

3. Is Kytch copying the software lock and selling it? If so, that would be a violation. However, you have said that they are not copying it; they are simply reading error codes and providing a different output. In that case, I do not see why they would need to invoke DMCA 1201 for an exemption. This is a completely different situation, like someone creating a keyboard or stand for my laptop. Kytch should apply for their own copyright in this case. Their appeal should be made in this direction.
This is their legacy way of collecting that data.

The future is doing away with the discount program. The grocery stores near me briefly did away with those (before starting up again). I assume because the Adobe-type systems are still too expensive compared to the legacy methods.

At Sinaptia we've been using audited (https://github.com/collectiveidea/audited) as our default audit solution. Audited is a complete solution to the problem of auditing records, but it lacks of one thing: a nice view to see and review those changes.
After building the same UI for inspecting these audits on several projects, we decided to extract it as a Rails engine and release it as an open-source gem.

The code lives in https://github.com/sinaptia/audited-ui. All contributions are welcome!

Gas pumps are larger transactions, so the credit card fees are less of a hit for the business. A level 2 AC charger is about $1 per hour of electricity, so you're taking huge credit card fees for shorter charges.

Most of the apps have some sort of balance that lets you make one $10 transaction and then spend it on a lot of smaller charge sessions.
The noise was from the various systems that operate the legs and gyros to maintain balance, so it's only generated when it's in a mode for actively traversing terrain. If it's in "peek" mode, it would probably be pretty quiet. Regardless, I don't think one cares too much about noise in the trench. Maybe they do, never fought in one.
I think modern science rides off the back of the good reputation developed by earlier researchers. In modern fields of "science" it's common to find failure to replicate rates of more than 50%, or even higher. Other fields don't even accept that replicability matters at all, or they blatantly misrepresent their own findings. So yeah, modern science (as opposed to say, pre-WW2 science) is more like a barrel of bad apples with a few good ones, rather than the other way around. People have started noticing in recent years.

We can't trust peer review, correct. Climate peer review isn't run by generic disinterested scientists, it's run by climatologists specifically - the very people whose income and influence directly depends on the perception that it's a very important field. If they were to be exaggerating as a group, how would the peer review process fix that? It wouldn't, which is why the many scientists and engineers who have peer reviewed climate science and think it's no good have to resort to public declarations.

That's like saying we can't trust medical diagnoses because they're made by doctors.

That's a major critique of the entire US medical system isn't it? That doctors over-medicalize things because they're financially incentivized to do so. We can debate to what extent that's true but you're depicting this as an obviously absurd idea when it's actually taken pretty seriously by lots of people, partly because there have been cases in the past where doctors appear to have (accidentally) created fake epidemics, like the wave of multiple personality disorder diagnoses that appeared and then disappeared within the last 50 years.

a "known climate change denier" who's not actually denying climate change

Right! In fact nobody given that label actually denies that the climate changes, which is why it's a slur. The climate has always changed. Yet as Hausfather discovered, the monster they've given birth to doesn't care about minor details like that. You're either a doomer or a denier and there's nothing in between.

The people signing this declaration are saying that there is warming, but it's caused by both natural and artificial factors. They don't even deny humans create warming. But they criticize specific claims made by climatologists, and thus get described by people who haven't read the document - and by you - as "denying anthropogenic climate change".

> Unfortunately, the difference between a good trader and a successfull one is not ability alone but privilege! Be it insider information or better latency, its the same thing here!

And my point is that you are holding trading to a different standard.
Is it a problem that Apple has so many resources that a hobbyist has no chance of competing with at making smartphones? Or Google and search engines, Chipotle and burritos, etc?

Of course not. Those companies have earned their market shares by investing in the right places, innovating, good strategy, etc. Same is true for HFT firms.

There would be a problem if either Apple or Citadel had a monopoly or was breaking the law. If there's proof that's the case, we have courts and regulators to step in.

> I replied to your stronghold statements, didnt i?

> Now, is HFT just a client side approach of front running? Which is an insider privilege and illegal.

According to the legal definition, front running is when you have orders you are executing for clients and you trade ahead of them on your own account. HFTs do not have client orders, ergo they cannot possibly front run anything.

If you use some expanded definition of front running, then it depends on the details of the definition. For some sufficiently broad definitions, probably yes. But then it's of course not illegal and possibly not even bad.
I have this monochrome hi-res LCD with an HDMI controller for some lithography project.

The EDID advertises YCBR colors. But in reality it only accepts RGB.

The amdgpu driver in my AMD laptop is the only machine I own that actually sends YCBR, and I had to add an EDID override for it. It's a pain to do. It's confusing. And then the HDMI port is now only capable this specific screen.

Thankfully the amdgpu driver has now be fitted with few knobs allowing you to override some of the settings at runtime.
It was pretty customary up untli the last few cycles of 80 year-olds being the major party nominees for presidential candidates to release all of their medical records. There is no law forcing this, but ethically, if you believe yourself to be qualified to set policy for and lead the most powerful hegemon to ever exist in the nuclear age, I think you owe it to the world to let them evaluate you on all fronts using all possible information. You no longer deserve privacy. Your tax returns, medical records, all non-classified communications, should be an open book.

There have to be tradeoffs. If you still want privacy, have it, but then you get to stay just a normally wealthy, powerful person and can live out your days sipping mai tais on tropical beaches and doing hookers and blow every night, but not being put in charge of a military with the power to glass half the planet if it wanted to.

I’ve read the book, although I think to be fair I gave up in the final monologue- which is just pages of excruciating exposition. The book just has one small flaw, Rand builds a world where her philosophy is true, and that world looks nothing like ours. It’s just absurd phantasy.

The beautiful thing is a funny jibe because it’s just so lazy to make your philosophically good characters physically superior too. It’s like if you put the slightest critical eye to the work it immediately creaks.
While we haven't tested this, I suspect the main scaling bottleneck in practice is the primary database, as every Epoxy transaction goes through it. If you wanted to run Epoxy at large scale, you'd need a primary that supports very high transaction throughput.
