I think the pure interface is the useful part. If there's mutation, but I can firewall it behind a (non-leaky) pure interface, then I don't have to reason about that mutation if I'm looking at code outside the interface. That's a huge win.

Now, OO tries to do the same kind of thing - hiding things behind an abstraction that you don't have to think about from outside the abstraction. The problem is, all the abstractions leak. Does Haskell's hiding mutation behind a purely functional interface leak? I don't know enough to say, but I think it's a critical question.

Use `whois` to see who controls the IP address and then contact them. As others have noted, you won't be able to route a single address differently, so your best bet would be to host with the controlling entity.

For example, lets say you wanted 199.255.255.254. That's controlled by hostwinds.com, which offers VPS hosting. There doesn't seem to be anyone on that IP address. The reverse DNS lookup makes it appear that it's in their normal client space. A phone call to the right person there might get you what you want.
In general, I don't think it is a good idea to connect to multiple services over the same Tor link. One of those services could be compromised in some way (hacked, government backdoors, etc.), and could be used to de-anonymize sessions at other services, by using the ip-address of the exit-node and the time-frame in which the communication took place.

I see it more as leveling the playing field. Women are less aggressive and ruthless in negotiations, and that contributes to the staggering pay gap we see in tech and elsewhere. This gap needs to end, and such a measure might well prove effective.

Such a measure will also mean that aggressive salary negotiators will go elsewhere after their attempts at negotiation are rejected by Reddit HR. Since these people are almost always male, that's a win. It will result in a workplace with less men : )

>> The actual problems with health insurance markets have less to do with information asymmetry and adverse selection than with too much information. That can make some people’s insurance very expensive at actuarially sound rates. For instance if you have a cancer of a given kind, this is verifiable to the outside world, and if the treatment costs are $200,000, the cost of an insurance policy will in turn be about $200,000. Buying the policy won’t be cheaper than buying the treatments, and in that sense the market for insurance is not always present. That is a very real public policy problem, but it is not well understood by invoking standard theories of asymmetric information.

I think the problem with insurance is too much competition. With a single provider there is no incentive to lock people out. The entire point of insurance is to amortize unexpected costs over time and population. In a market with multiple providers and people changing providers there is a financial incentive to exclude higher cost individuals rather than just spread the cost of treatment over everyone. This is not an argument in favor of any particular system, just pointing out a problem with the notion of free market insurance plans. There are plenty of problems with every solution.
Okay, doing it for decades doesn't mean they need it. It wasn't there from the start.

>How do you expect to track down a Swatter without using metadata?

As I said in my other post, you don't actually need call records to find a swatter. They called the police, the police have the number, tada. I'm not arguing against deleting everything that could possibly classify as metadata, I'm saying we should cut down the types of metadata available. And we need to stop the government from making copies of private data 'just in case' and declaring it not to be a search/seizure until some later stage.

It's interesting to note that Adachi is quoted in the article for saying "'I have to say, video — at least from my experience — tends to exonerate more than it does to convict.'"

"Not offensive in any way.." That' certainly subjective. Comparing Snowden as a war hero could be offensive to those that actually fought in wars. If they put it in the Nathan Hale statue at CIA, now that would be ironic.

I'm on a the fence about Snowden, however disrespecting a war memorial to prove a point seems to border on tasteless. How about putting a Snowden statue in front of an AT&T store; that would be better messaging in terms of protest without disrespecting actual war heros.
The Coase theorem basically says that you can have any initial allocation of resources and so long as they are tradable, transaction costs are low, and a few other conditions are met, you will end up with an economically efficient outcome (i.e. those who will put the resources to the most remunerative use will end up with them).

Which isn't to say that any initial allocation will satisfy us as fair or that the outcome will satisfy us as fair, but a top down system may well end up being neither fair nor efficient.

What straw man? I've been arguing against forced prison labor this entire time, even before you joined the conversation. I haven't deflected any points you were making to some new topic.

And yes, I'm all for taking the TVs out of prisons and not having it be a good time. I'm also against mandatory labor. They're prisoners, but they're still human beings.

Others here have said it's voluntary, so if that's true, that's at least better. I still think they should be paid fairly so as to not displace jobs from people not in prison, though.

It's clear though that I'm against this, and you're not, so there's really no point in continuing on. I'll just say that I hope you never have to experience working for pennies a day.
It's a good example for another reason, too, though: switches and 12V relays are inherently unreliable devices that vaporize a small part of their contacts every time they turn on and off, and so while fixing the system is indeed easy and cheap, it's also frequently necessary. Meanwhile, it's pretty easy to build solid-state power electronics that with MTBFs and wearout times in the billions of cycle times, far longer than the rest of the car. (Not to say automakers don't ever biff it and build shitty solid-state power electronics that break all the time, though.)

> I haven't tried it, but I've looked at it. I think it adds too much complexity. Who decides which files go on the annex and which don't? Doesn't seem like an automated great solution for a scale-able team.

I would put all binary files into git annex (as determined by `file`). This can be done by a commit hook automatically. With another hook that makes sure that `git annex pull` is run when the user checks out code, you'd have a solution that was close enough to automatic for most use cases.

(You'd have to help your users with weird situations from time to time, but that's true of git anyway.)
I'd be a lot more convinced if he'd posted a procedural version of the data model whose OOP implementation he mocked, rather than the simplest UI code he could find. Or if the UI example hadn't centered around a "struct with member functions", which is oh so very very completely totally very different from an object.

I'll grant that OOP is often very poorly taught in schools, and very poorly written about in blog posts with contrived examples. But insisting dogmatically on procedural code to model an object is just as silly as insisting on object-oriented code to program a procedure. There's room in the toolbox for both, with even a little left over for some functional programming once in a while.

there should just be one country-wide insurance pool. No company insurance pools or any other insurance through groups. that way risk gets spread out nicely. And I think administrative costs would be much lower.
Yes, you can also write safe code in an unsafe language, but until you are literally willing to code review every program anyone writes in your unsafe language of choice, there is value in having safe languages where we don't have to rely on your throughput and accuracy.

There is a real difference between a safe language, and a safe subset of an unsafe language that gets verified by some guy (no disrespect). The former is (everything else being equal) just way better for everyone involved, especially for the guy.

While I completely understand that by eliminating negotiations for new hires helps to level the playing field, this is just a short-term bandage on a much larger wound.

I would have much preferred she change their hiring policies to educate their hiring managers on how NOT to be biased against women and to NOT penalize women who negotiate for themselves. Treat women who aggressively negotiate their own salaries THE SAME WAY YOU WOULD IF IT WERE A MAN! Education, ultimately, is the answer to a long term solution. It would also help to make sure you have an equal balance of sexes that comprise your hiring team to truly level the playing field.

For a capitalist society, if you're a stronger negotiator, then you should absolutely reap those benefits, and if you're a weaker negotiator, then you have something to strive for and improve. By eliminating it altogether, I'm not sure how you can achieve sustainable, long term success. This decision also seems to undermine or belie the accolades thrown on her for being a Feminist icon in the tech/vc world. If you're trying to level the "playing field" then LEVEL it, don't eliminate it.
Totally agree with you in that IPv6 and the end of NATs are great for the Internet.

My honest (though possibly unpopular) opinion is that the incentive should have been given years ago through government intervention, by legally compelling ISPs to provide IPv6 connectivity to their customers. If most of the Internet had been switched to IPv6 by now, no bidding war over IPv4 addresses would need to take place.

Naturally, it's moot to point out what could have been done and wasn't. But I think this illustrates a limitation of market-based incentives: they seem to work well on the short term, but have a tendency to fail on the long one. Slow IPv6 adoption is, in my view, a market failure that should have been corrected through government intervention.
That is a very good point, and it made me realize that I was automatically translating the original statement to something other than what the literal words say. My internal translation of the statement that you quote would be "to be net harmful, the marginal employee would need to be causing [an equivalent level of harm expressed in QALYs as killing 100 people] per year", which is different in a subtle way. Specifically, it is possible to cause negative quality without committing a crime. So, someone could argue that the financial industry as a whole (and Goldman Sachs specifically) redistribute assets in such a way as to cause a net lowering in quality of life across all affected without committing any specific crimes in the process. I don't know enough to say whether this is the case, but it doesn't seem obviously wrong to me (that they cause some harm, not that they cause 100 deaths per year per employee level of harm. That seems way too high).

If someone were to use the original statement to say that it would be ok for the employee to kill 50 people and then save 100 in Africa, I would be against that, even if it were necessary to kill the 50 in order to raise the money to save the 100.

Does that help clarify?

> As I said in my other post, you don't actually need call records to find a swatter. They called the police, the police have the number, tada.

And if the Swatter used another phone to call a Google Voice number to create a local line in another city, they will need Metadata to figure out what that _OTHER_ telephone number is.

Otherwise, they have a phone number to a fake google-account created in TOR. That's not very useful.

Phone Number 555-0000 called Google-Voice 555-9991, which THEN called the Police. Only having "555-9991" is completely worthless. You need metadata analysis to unravel the proxies.

Furthermore, executing a warrant generally requires a name and a case. You don't got a name yet, you're trying to build a case without warrant powers at this point of the Police game.

Do you think these Swatters are dumb or something? They aren't using their personal phone numbers to call the police, they're actually redirecting themselves a little bit.

> I'm not arguing against deleting everything that could possibly classify as metadata, I'm saying we should cut down the types of metadata available. And we need to stop the government from making copies of private data 'just in case' and declaring it not to be a search/seizure until some later stage.

The legal standard between 1940s (since the closure of the Office of Censorship, which straight up allowed the US Agents to read mail and censor them), and now has been that metadata collection doesn't need a warrant.

Metadata collection is NOT search/seizure in Smith v. Maryland. Its how things have operated for literally decades.

Now if you don't like it, that's fine. But know that you're moving from the status-quo. This is how the government has operated since the 1970s at very least (see again... Smith v. Maryland).

Going back to the cases before that was Olmstead v. United States, 1928, which collection of straight-up data was considered not search/seizure btw. (So we've actually cut back upon collection from a historical perspective. Police powers were greater in the 1920s than today)

- Smuggling a heavy bronze statue into a park has bypassed

- Statues have potential but very small likelihood of being
'malicious'.
- Heavy statues have great potential to cause physical harm when
not properly built or installed.
- This potential for harm is considered minimal to non-existant
when the sculpture is commissioned or otherwise created by people with
known identities.
- When some idiot goes into a park and stabs somebody, it's a

- When a passerby (or some idiot trying to climb it) gets hurt by
large, official looking part of the park, it's a city issue (lawsuit).

A random rock that's 100# and 8' off the ground is, potentially, a dangerous rock.

Your reasoning around my analogy actually illustrates my point fairly well– I'm afraid there isn't much I can do to bridge our disagreement there.

Rather than the city of Boston be mocked for their overreaction, I would be much happier if we improved our education in electronics. And other things, because education is the best way we know how to conquer fear in an institutional setting.

The idea that this had "ultra-top priority" because of its political nature is, while possible, extremely unlikely. The chance that its political nature was even noticed by the people responsible for removing it are incredibly slim, and if anything I'm surprised at how long it took for it to get a tarp over it. I've seen much quicker removals of defacements in parks across the city, by park officials to plainclothes police. Despite this, the political nature of the message is wholly irrelevant to the actual issue at hand.

No quantitative idea, but as disgusting as the salaries for football coaches (N.B., depending on the school, it may be a budget separate from the academic enterprise), university presidents, &c. are, I would be willing to bet that they are dwarfed by the army of bureaucrats handling what I termed regulatory compliance.

On the research side, off the top of my head you've got grant administrators, institute review boards, research integrity office, postdoc affairs. You've also got "Title IX administrators". Accepting federal funding takes a lot of work.

The worthiness of the services the bureaucrats are providing I leave as an exercise to the reader, but I think it's problematic that the people making the regulations are not the ones paying the bills when it comes time to comply with the regulations.

When git repacks[1], which it does periodically (but not on every commit), it will store objects in as compact a form that it can, which basically means that it looks for root objects that it can delta a given object against so it stores each chunk of text as few times as possible.

What it doesn't do is store files as deltas explicitly against the previous or next revision of that file. It attempts to find a best fit dynamically.

It also does something like this packing procedure when responding to a fetch to avoid sending more data than it needs to, btw.

Customers increase your revenues and your costs. If you're making a play that's long-term by necessity and will be running at a loss for a while, then customer acquisition actually speeds up your burn.

On the other hand, VCs determine: whether your company can raise money, whether your competitors get funding, what your acquisition/exit options are, and what kind of job you personally will get after leaving the company (one way or another).

Also, VCs are a small set of people who all know each other and in which one voice can end not just your job or company but your career. Customers are a large set of people where one might get pissed off and write a bad Yelp review.
