No argument that it would definitely be unethical. But how is it illegal? What criminal violations are occurring?
I've no idea what impact you think that makes on my point.

Rape may be 'taken seriously' incidentally (though actually you probably mean certain stereotypes of rape), but its conviction rate is still so low that, unfortunately, a rapist in the UK has a very high probability of getting away with their crime. The police certainly have improved in the professionalism with which they address rape, but rape prevention and womens charities in the UK still maintain that insufficient resources and effort is put into prosecuting rape cases to a conviction.
Thanks. I only comment I feel I have something to add to the conversation.
Agreed.

And many manufacturers offer an extended warranty on used cars. Buy a 1 year old "certified" car many times has a longer warranty than an identical new car at a lower cost.
Buying a new car makes sense IFF: 1) you don't get a luxury car. 2) you actually keep it until repairs are costing you $3000 per year. 3) you can actually buy it without doing financial harm to yourself.
I've owned several fords that all held up well:

1989 Ford Taurus: $450 car, required new battery terminals. Totaled it out fairly quickly--side note: head on collision at approx 45mph with no seat belt, walked away with scratches. Given 3300 by insurance people for the car only.

199X Ford Escort Hatchback: $500 car, zero maintenance over a couple of years. Eventually started stalling in neutral unless you revved it, I sold it to my sister for $200 and bought something else. Vaccuum hose had a hole, $4 fix.

1987 Ford Mustang: $3500 car, required a clutch immediately for $800. Drove for several years with no further mechanical problems (though it did have body issues), sold it for $2250. The decrease in value was almost wholly my own fault in causing & then neglecting the body issues.

I had one lemon, but not a Ford. A 199x Pontiac Grand Am. $850 car, immediately needed tires & a water pump (making it a $1200 car). Broke down approximately 15 times for various reasons, mostly small problems or problems I learned to live with. I eventually got a noticed it would be towed if not moved from where I had it parked, and I decided it was prudent to let it be towed.

Otherwise:

1996 Nissan Pickup: $3k car in 2009, still own it, has had zero repairs. Several things have failed: A/C, both front blinkers fell out of the truck, someone backed into the front bumper and misaligned the headlights, broken into & stereo & speakers stolen. Engine is otherwise perfect, though. I'm trying to sell it now, as I bought a Jeep Cherokee about a month ago. I would be incredibly surprised if I can't get $1500 for it, but I have someone coming to look this weekend at $2400 asking price.

Maybe I've been lucky, but the total amount of repair fees I've paid over all of these, including the lemon, is somewhere around $3k I'd guess, vehicles overall costing me a couple thousand for the last 15 years of vehicles, usually with redundancy by owning 2 at a time. I own a motorcycle now, as well, so I have three levels. I did the easiest repairs myself. If I couldn't learn it in 20 minutes on youtube, I paid someone else.

It's worth noting that while that's OK for desktop visitors, shifting the workflow to the client means you're putting a lot more stress on mobile visitors and resulting in a worse experience for them.

Network performance and latency is all over the place, leaving AJAX an unpredictable mess. On top of that you're adding the overhead of spinning up the javascript runtime on the phone, running the code etc. etc, all of which eats precious battery time for them, and negatively impacts your time to screen, a very important metric.
You also avoid some of the "people don't sell good cars" thing , because so many two year old cars are from people who just lease new cars every two years.

My school also recently switched over from Stewart's calculus. Maybe this was why. Sucks for me though b/c my $80 textbook is now worth nothing.

I haven't sold in that price range before, but I imagine at tax time there's some cars being bought for that price, certainly.
Nice tune, thanks. I like to say, you can afford a $500-2K car if you can afford another $500-2K car today. A buddy replied yesterday that then you have two non-op cars ;) I agree with what the article and one comment says about time and privilege, I'm lucky to have the other circumstances align so as to be able to afford these cheap cars.

This is true in cases where the manufacturer offers 5 year warranty with option to extend. We did just this recently ourselves and bought an 18 month old car. We still have a solid 3 years of factory warranty and can extend for an additional two if we so choose.

Some manufacturers only offer 3 years though with no option to extend so the value proposition is not nearly as good IMO if you're buying a vehicle with only a year left on the warranty.

The Swiss Franc, just to take an example, comes in denominations up to 1000 Franc ($1083 at current exchange rates).

According to this site: http://www.pagetutor.com/trillion/index.html $100M fits on a pallet stacked 3 feet high or so. With banknotes worth 10x as much, that'd be a billion Swiss francs.

It's hard to believe it is going to cost you 8.12 million francs to securely store that for two years, which is what you'll currently pay for the privilege of owning the two year Swiss bond.
The whole point is that this is easier said than done. Yes, cars depreciate rapidly in the first two years, which is why people who own quality non-lemons that are less the 2 years old are generally very reluctant to sell them.
If you can find one, that's great, but the deprecation to me has always had more meaning as a reality check for a seller than an opportunity that can be easily obtained as a buyer.
For instance, you often hear that a new car loses "10%" (probably more) of its resale value the moment you drive it off the lot. Yes, if you try to sell your car the moment you drive it off the lot, you will lose 10% or more.
But go out there and try to buy a car for 90% of what someone just paid for it as they drive it off the lot!

Things might be a bit different in the UK because the annual MOT gives a good indication that these schemes are going to be dealing with cars that have been mechanically checked.

I actually don't disagree with you. I don't really recall seeing much of the nuts and bolts performance work being done when I was in university either. Even back then there was lots of work on distributed computing and such, but almost none on in-system performance optimization.

Funny ideas like your program needing to complete before the universe grows cold or shouldn't address more memory than there are particles in the universe don't get lots of attention at the academic level.

I think at the engineering level, where the theoretical CS gets turned into real systems, real resource constraints start to become serious problems. Things like the laws of physics and time really become important.

So for a 300GB graph, imagine you need to run some computation on data that size every day -- because of business reasons. So now you have to fit it into a 24 hour run-cycle instead of 40. So now you have to figure out how to shave off 40% off the run-time. Boom, you're now having to deal with performance optimizations.

For fun, let's say each time I get the result of that data, I can make a decision that earns $10,000, but at 40 hour run-times I can only make that decision 2 or 3 times a week instead of 5. So not only is it 40% too slow, but I'm only making 40% as much money.

Also, now you're dedicating a piece of hardware to that one task. And the data better never grow.

So you decide to rewrite the entire process in C, spend 2 months doing it, and now it runs in 5 hours instead of 40. I sunk $30k into the rewrite, but I'll make that back inside a week and it has room to grow as the data grows.

My other alternative is to figure out some distributed method that will get it down to <24hr run-times, but now I have to manage a compute cluster, with associated facility, electricity and management costs. I probably have to hire, if even part-time, a human or two to manage the cluster, so there goes additional overhead and administrative costs. Maybe I just go with Amazon, but there's downsides with that as well.

The solution for this problem is being worked on mostly at the engineering level, not the research one. And that's simply because the business forces are driving it to happen.

This is the real-life set of alternative choices computing groups are starting to contend with. It made more sense to distribute when 300GB of graph data was a lot. But now you can get a single machine that can fit that into RAM let alone disk. Single machines are outrageously powerful right now, but nobody has bothered to realize it.

A Radio Shack employee set me on my path in life.

I remember this specifically because at 10 years old it was soooo cool!!... at the time.
My uncle had given me this old AM/FM radio. He said it had a bad volume control on it and was not putting out the sound that he wanted. It still tuned in stations, but with the volume cranked you had to hold the radio next to your ear to hear what was on the station.
There was a Radio Shack in town. It was next to the grocery store in this strip mall (this facility is no longer in existence).
Even though I was 10, while getting groceries she let me wander into the Radio Shack where I used to look at all the gadgets they had on display. It was her way of knowing where to find me when she was ready to leave. The attendants in the store usually had no problem with me wandering around because I generally kept my hands to myself and just gawked at the gadgets.
One day I brought the old radio into the store with me and asked the attendant if he knew of a trick to how to fix it. The guy was an older gentleman. Older than my Mom if that is any measure.
He smiled and looked at the radio briefly. He asked if it was my radio and I told him how it was given to me. He then asked where my Mom was. Timing was such that my Mom just walked in the store to fetch me.
My Mom apologized for me interrupting him with the old radio, but he said that was not any problem. He wanted to help me fix the volume control on the radio.
While we stood there, he broke out a small screwdriver and opened the case. After some inspection he pointed out to me how the volume control rheostat (potentiometer) was worn out and what it would take to fix it.
He said he could order a replacement part, but that I would need to learn how to do some minor soldering to replace it. I had seen my Grandfather do soldering, and I knew what that was enough to say that I was willing to try. In my mind, the worst that could happen was the radio would end up still useless.
A few weeks later, he had the new part in for me. I took it home, and with a little help from my Grandfather we had the new volume control soldered into the radio circuit board. My first personal AM/FM radio. That radio went with me everywhere for years. I sometimes wonder how many pounds of batteries I went through with that thing.
For years afterward, when I was in town I would hang out at the Radio Shack and learn about the different electronics parts and bits that they had on the walls. Along the way I learned about how electricity works and what problems can occur with electrical devices. I also learned about logic controls and programming, and eventually I learned about computers. All in that tiny little store that hired geeks out of necessity before IT was a buzzword.
That Radio Shack was an informal school in my life.
I miss that old store. Good people willing to help others with their gadgets.
So long Radio Shack.
Thanks for the kick start to my interests that have brought me to my career. The first store I can recall that validated my geekiness as a good thing.

Low interest rates on new cars are a smoke and mirrors game. If you weren't getting low interest rates, you'd be getting a better cash price. I bought a used car earlier this year and financed it at 3%. I'll pay around $1500 in interest. I save several times that in depreciation, and even new with 0% interest, the price still would have been close to that $1500 more.

Also, the decision isn't necessarily between brand new car and a 10k used car. If you're buying a two or three year-old car, it's probably over 10k.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting this. I have been using TigerTonic, but will give Gin a go after reading this.
On the home page you have a question "How much does it cost?" and then ramble on without answering the question. That seems odd considering you do have a pricing page.
Yeah, otherwise it would be http://www.the-erlang-must-flow.com/
Poor people do this all already, just with beater Fords and Chevys instead of old ass Mercedes. And instead of fixing it themselves they just pay someone, which makes it even harder.

The Mcjob holder gets a ride, runs the risk of their kid getting cold, makes the choice between food and fixing their car.

They already do this.
In this example, yes.

If you went for a compression stress however you'd probably want that same bending stiffness (by making a hollow tube) because rarely the force is perfectly axial.

Microsoft Confirms Internet Explorer to Be Rebranded, “Browser One”
This article is making the assumption that rent control works. The real world is significantly more complicated, but basic micro economics suggests this is not the case.
Yes, I do not know where people imagine that this supply of 1-2 year old cars comes from. The ones that do exist are mainly from rental fleets, with 30k of miles per year. Not exactly a winner of a car there.
I'm waiting for a case of plausible deniability through abstraction of identity to cause the whole SSN based system to collapse. As sloppy as our government and corporations have gone about handling our SSN, there is ever increasing lack of confidence that it individually and uniquely identifies anyone.
You'd just end up fixing it again for another $5k, and another $5k, and another. It adds up, in small amounts of time, labor and parts.

There is no used car fairy. You don't get to pay $5k for the equivalent of a $25k car. Physics pretty much puts that to a stop by constantly degrading every part in the car.

The whole point of "mileage" in buying used cars is not that a car is better or worse at a given mileage, but that it's more and more and more likely to fail. Each part has a guesstimated point at which it will fail, because all the parts have defects. As your car gets older, practically every single part fails. You end up replacing everything. Your old SUV will eventually cost you as much as that new Mazda.

The hedged bet with a new car is that by the time you pay it off, you won't have paid anything other than regular maintenance costs, and you can now buy yet another new car. If you drive like a grandma or barely drive at all and garage the car you can stretch this out for a long time. Most people are not grandmas.

Leasing is a very sensible solution for most people because it combines hassle-free maintenance-free car ownership with a promise for an always-working car at a fixed [read: no surprises] price.
