Just a note to Americans: prostitution is generally legal in Europe. Switzerland has a very high cost of living comparable to NYC or SF, but it has a male:female sex ratio similar to that of San Jose. Other places in Europe have relatively

I'll see your monad and lift you a functor. Or maybe computer programming should start bottom-up, progress through single-static assignment (SSA) and then get to impure, mutable constructs.

Design brought forth, intentionally or not, creates everything but the content of the experience. It's the "view" that people see that creates most of the UX.

That sounds like Valley Medical here in Si Valley. Ostensibly, they have to "accept everyone" but realistically, they put people on buses and send them elsewhere. Also, there are many specialties with zero appointments available a

Microsoft abused subcontractors to deny them benefits even though they were de-facto employees. It doesn't matter what bullshit excuses Microsoft or anyone else comes up with, because they treated people like garbage.

Prosperity may have increased a lot for those at the top, but there's never been so many people living on freeway on-ramps until now. For the low end, it keeps getting worse-and-worse in the real world while academic happy-clappy about

I'm sure others already asked: "y u no sha3?" on the git dev lists. Assuming quantum computers with many qubits land, aren't prime factorization, EC and matrix math crypto basically DOA?

Hmm... the big question relating to depression and/or childhood abuse is did they check for hippocampal atrophy or dysfunction? I would suspect abused and depressed people have trouble enjoying most dopaminergic rewards.

Right/left is a divide-and-conquer gambit. There are rich Democrats and rich Republicans whom are nearly indistinguishable in action and vary only on minor supposed values, both wings of as Gore Vidal called it, "The Property&quot

There was a SF startup with an obnoxious, high-density open-floorplan (ie a narrow table down a long corridor like a bad library with the panopticon of managers watching) that tried this bullshit with me. They didn't even look at it, a

In CA, 101 acts as that wall between PA and EPA. The differences are more subtle: less trees. https://goo.gl/maps/c6t8e6dtHbn Trees are one of the major factors affecting property value. If antifa really wanted to atta

In Syria, ISIS, war against Assad and mass exodus is due entirely to the regime not helping farmers get water during a time drought and famine. No doubt many farmers also killed themselves, but the gamut of hardships fell on deaf Western ea

The root problems are the LACK of regulation of throttling algorithms, content classes, obsfucated service agreements and enforcing the honesty of claims. Letting telcos "regulate" themselves and take over the FCC (Ajit Pai, et al

There's nuance in throlling and prioritization. All traffic must be prioritized somehow or it's not going to work well for anyone. Perhaps WPS-enabled lines on grandfathered unlimited plans should be getting the lions-share of ban

Interesting. I wonder how this interacts with data and voice lines on WPS... given priority but not?

If corporations are willing to suicide the planet and potentially billions of lives for dirty energy, why would a telco not sabotage health and safety services if it made them more money?

There's no inherently intractable reason aircraft "need" human pilots when autopilots are faster, better and make fewer errors. At this stage, an aircraft guider would be able to instruct the aircraft as to what's needed
