>I'm glad we never needed to learn these forms in school:

I'm not. You vastly underestimate how much easier that is to read, especially for students in school.

Just about everything except for the business itself. Cool, you outsourced a bunch of operational stuff.

What you're forgetting is that insurance companies still need their custom insurance software with all of their custom risk models built in. That's the entire value proposition of the business so your estimate that it's only "0.5%" of what the company needs is way off.

Sounds like costs rose if they threw more engineers at the problem.

>ensure its security, just like they would do with any other asset.

This motivation is asinine. Record leaks don't do anything to harm the original records and it's not like Marriott's secret sauce is a list of customer records. Companies don't protect assets from things that don't cause the assets harm.

Personal data does not have value to the company in that regard. It's a liability more than an asset.

Which road do you take to Iceland or NYC from Paris?

That’s difficult for a common workflow. Going into “settings” for a password is as goofy as going into settings to look at your calendar.

Well then the hoped for transmission lines must have been financially ridiculous to build or else it would have been done. If there is one thing you should have leaned about the energy market at this point, it’s that participants tend to favor money over idealism.

If your mental model relies on them choosing fossil fuels over money, it’s wrong.

Yeah, the change to 100 or 200mb came as a desperate attempt later to stop the gmail hemorrhage.

Conway's law. If you fuck up the org of a project, the project will be just as fucked up. For something that is supposed to integrate across google products, it should never be so isolated.

what you're missing is that "treating people with respect?" has little overlap with things people get outraged over.

So where is your outrage over the price of nearly all manual labor, fast food jobs, etc? $15/hr is pretty standard for unskilled work.

Not really the same thing. Most are just a shell of their former culture and independence.

It’s similar to native Hawaiians. Despite significant effort, that culture is being drowned by tourists and the massive non-native population influencing them. Sure, you can celebrate the culture and the language, but it doesn’t even begin to give you a glimpse of what it could have been without European invasions.

It’s a JavaScript tool that existed 5 years ago.

Being pro-trade and pro-competition very often means not actually being for a free market. Policies that dictate what apple can do with its iphones’ app access might be “pro competition”, but the regulation used is against free markets.

The free market argument would be to let Apple do what it wants with its products. A “competition commissioner” is antithetical to that.

Nothing to do with the parent. It’s the app developers using mdm that are the problem.

Citizenship has no relationship to extradition.

Switching to ipads for the pilots resulted in saved fuel costs as well (yet another article). The populist notion that corporations are just evil things out to do stupid things really clouds rational thought. :(

Well then it's not because of technology is it?

I think you forget that not every government is so nice. A comment against a young politician today could be a comment against the sitting dictator in 10 years that won’t care so much about the statute of limitations.

Not if you abide by the definition.

I don’t think you understand what the role of a CEO of a company is. Despite your flippant implication, being an incredible liar isn’t even close to qualifying you for CEO of an F500.

>a far more representative and democratic parliament that any US government due to the use of proportional representation.

any US government? Do you understand that many state-level governments are proportionally representative?

Not if the engineers were assured the pilots would be trained to quickly recognize trim issues and flip off the MCAS when it started misbehaving.

Then keep building more. It will stop being such an attractive investment when the supply isn’t constrained.

>This person also had a similarly aged daughter and he was doing none of this for her.

Cool, but that has nothing to do with industry bias. This same phenomenon is shown by enrollment rates at university in CS.

>non-white men

I assume Asian men are actually "white men" for the purposes of your example?

>A thought experiment: how would an economy run solely on a Bitcoin-like currency behave? And how would it respond to business cycles?

Similar to how it behaved during the gold-backed dollar era. "Money shortages" were a thing often leading to market corrections during the early 1900s. This book references it several times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reminiscences_of_a_Stock_Opera...

Other than the last one, those are entitlements requiring the government provide you with things, not rights.

>We get cheap oil because they will not have a planet to live on.

Yes they will. Hyperbole is unnecessary and harmful when the real projected outcomes are already bad enough.

>If the price were to include a carbon tax, it would likely be at least ten times higher and we would very quickly get rid of our beloved gas guzzlers.

10x is highly unlikely. At 450kg of CO2 per barrel and even $50/ton of CO2 offset costs that’s about $25 additional per barrel, which puts it at a lower cost than the 2007 era peaks.
