> If you make the congestion tax really high but most workplaces don't give people flexibility with work schedules, all you're doing is forcing people to take longer, roundabout commutes.

Then the tax is not high enough. There exists a number where people will say this job isn’t worth it. And you can even toll all roads since license plate scanners are relatively cheap.

Right now, the unpaid externalized costs of everyone driving to work at peak times is diffused across so many people’s inconvenience and time sitting in congestion. Not to mention the environmental costs of making a road 8 lanes wide for 4 hours of traffic out of the whole day.
I would say the commands are just not intuitive.

For example, when you type quit instead of quitting it instead prints out that you must type a different command to quit

can't the govt simply ban google and fund these 'different solutions'.
VW TDI owner and Boston resident, here.

Typically, gas stations which sell Diesel fuel put in anti-gelling additives that vary with the time of year. In the 12 years I've owned my car, I've never had a problem with gelling fuel, even when it got down to -5° F.

That being said, I'd have to lean on the glow plugs for 20-30 seconds at those temperatures, in order to get the engine block warm enough to turn over.
I took a look at the first result that popped up (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/26/world/europe/germanwings-a...) and interestingly, this ad_sensitivity tag is set to "tragedy". I'm curious to know what other options there are now - whether this is boolean, or a sliding scale.
Another nitpick: it's 1360 px wide.

There is a show on Apple TV+ called "For all mankind," (without spoiling) the latest season has a solar flare event, wonder if this is what prompted this article.

Anyways, it's a really great show and recommend anyone watch it if they are interested in the space race to the moon.
The role that can achieve those goals is not antrepreneour but politician or beaurocrat. Just because someone has proven to be a high achiever does not mean you get to retroactively choose what career they should have had.

Put in the actual work yourself instead of shifting the blame on others for not enacting the changes you desire.

Note: I agree all the issues you listed (mostly city life related) are real important issues. And they are hard issues. Especially because they are not technical issues. And I would love to see them fixed. But they are not Musks responsability.
I saw that pic and immediately wondered why they didn't seal off the areas of the fan that the filters didn't cover. I'm willing to bet that had a negative effect on the box fan setup's performance.
yyyy.dd.mm. (but not with hyphens!) are commonly used for all the languages where their grammar and word order means that the spoken way to say dates is like "twothousandtwentieth year's first march".
Internode is a bad example, they are the best of the lot in Australia/NZ, as I know from personal experience :)

I suspect how it will work out if it happens in the US is rather more like how Telecom NZ or Vodafone operate (Telecom used to be mainly owned by SBC/AT&T).

Where either you don't have the option of a data block past a certain upper bound, and get shaped to 64kbits for the rest of the month (Vodafone).

Or you have the option to remain full speed but the overage charge is out-of-this-world insane, something like 2c/MB. That's right, per MB. 10GB over cap is $200 added to your bill. Ouch.

They are pretty impressive. A bit slow and far from feature complete, but definitely in the same league as Google's suite. If Microsoft keeps their foot on the gas, they may be able to block Google's assault on Office.

EDIT: I heard that they would have support for rendering 100% of offline Office's documents/features. Is that still true? Would those parts of the documents simply be read-only online?
I agree with you.

The truth is, there's simply not enough bandwidth, especially not to stimulate "unlimited" data use and motivating people to become "data hogs." And it's not easy at all to increase the resources. There are real physical and technical limitations for providing more bandwidth which are hard to overcome in many areas.

The unlimited data plan was designed for much less devices in the wild.

I'm happy to listen to it. Andrew's work is incredible.
I can't help but think that a lot of the people making free-speech (online) arguments are being deliberately obtuse.

The Constitution and general body of law doesn't really address interactions on privately owned forums. It doesn't even really cover publicly (shareholder) owned forums, either, because they are, in effect, private as well.

Government-owned/controlled forums are a different matter entirely and they can't be censored in the same way.

Any online site has the right to say: this far and no further. How simple is that? State what you're not going to allow, admit that some things are judgement calls and call it done and dusted.

I will fight for your right to say any damn stupid thing you want (barring yelling fire in a theater) , just don't try it in the middle of my f---ing living room.
Or alternatively, they learn from the problems of older frameworks, and can bring a fresh approach without having to worry so much about backward compatibility.
I work in one of the bad areas of the city. It gets real shady after dark, so once I'm working some OT my chances will increase, I expect.

And still, a 1 in 1000 chance isn't actually all that low. Seems likely that it'll happen at some point.
Which is easier to believe: that Woz misspoke during a video interview or that Apple has secretly acquired a $5 Billion company who just announced their earnings yesterday and somehow failed to mention material changes such as acquisition offers?

Uber specifically placed itself in the role of intermediary. I don't have a phone book of drivers numbers and I don't pay a driver. I have the Uber app and I pay Uber.

They want the money, part of earning it is accepting responsibility and liability.

Why in the world is anyone even remotely worried about the plight of poor Uber? Holy cow.
The kind of radicalism that raises my taxes to keep our country from falling apart is the kind I'm fully on-board with.

Or, better yet, taxes the massive, useless dragon-hoards of the 0.1%. But I'm a team player; I don't mind if mine go up too.
U mean countries like France? :-)

YES.
To fix MKL for AMD Rome/Zen2 just do
"export MKL_DEBUG_CPU_TYPE=5"

This helps quite a bit with Matlab (which uses MKL) as well.

For Blas/Lapack like libraries look for Blis and libFLAME.

Gcc-9.2.0 isn't bad, but if you want Zen2/Rome/Ryzen 3xxx optimizations I'd recommend AMD's AOCC, which is a tuned version of LLVM (including c, c++, and fortran).

If you need FFTs look at amd-fftw.

Basic low level math (pow, log, exp, exp2 and friends) library look at the "AMD Math library (libM).
> The fact that authority figures can't break it is a feature, for the kind of people who would want to use it

Like I said, this is why it will stay irrelevant. Most people don't want to perform those actions, nor support those actions by using the systems that do. We're never, as a society, going to want to support money-laundering, terrorist-funding or price manipulation.
If the working class turns to radicalism what makes you think it will be the kind of radicalism you agree with?

It’s more likely to be the kind of radicalism you find terrifying.
Honestly, the thing that made me “grok” flexbox, and actually start thinking in it, was figma’s auto layout.

As a dev from the 2000s, I had tables and floats seared into my mind. Any design problem layout problem boiled down to that, and I just used flexbox to make it easier.

But figma … that thing made me actually _think_ in responsive layouts. Not sure how they’ve implemented it, but auto layout just feels like an “interface to flexbox”. After a couple of projects, in my mind now everything is just auto layouts, and thus I’m now defaulting to using flexbox everywhere. Only more exotic design issues now need something different.
For C at least, the spec says that unsigned addition is modulo 2^64 (or 32 or 16 or whatever) so, imagine you had an 8 bit unsigned, 128+128 gives you 0. Divided by 2 is 0. That’s the right answer by the language specification. The trick is to get 128.
> I'm sure I could put out a better product if I worked 80 hours instead of 40.

No you couldn't. People seem to often miss this point. It's not a choice between "work crazy hours or produce less". It's a choice between "work crazy hours and do shit work" or "work sane hours and do a decent job".
> Again, this is not about personal preference.

There is no need for passive aggressiveness. I get that aping the exact phrase used in a parent comment is used to communicate disrespect, and it's duly noted, but all things being equal I would prefer not to go down that route.

My argument here is that people designing languages have made choices based on their personal preference as well. It's not really appropriate to take one specific set of features you like and declare it to be the objective winner.

> In the real world, 90% of programmers use either C#, Java, C/C++, JS or Python/Ruby/Perl in their jobs.

That's a No True Scotsman-like argument. Also, what's the meaning of the three different types of separators you used there? But for the sake of convergence, yes, let's assume every important real-world language is in that list.

I'm still not sure what to say about this without repeating myself, except for: go and do it. You say it's a matter of investment, but on the other hand consider the benefits if someone pulled it off. If you really do believe you are the person who has this all figured out, please go ahead and implement this. Heck, make it a Kickstarter project or something, I'm in!
the article addresses hedge funds near the end.
Sure automating the process of selling discount vouchers might well work, but they don't need to buy Groupon to be able to create discount vouchers based on an adaptation of their own self-service model. They have more access to eyeballs than Groupon's mailing list anyway

Much of the value of the company Groupon lies in the sales team, which makes it an uncharacteristic acquisition target for Google.
It may not be a government plan, but the article sure makes it sound like the government is using the threat of legislation to force the ISPs to move. So instead it's some kind of threat maneuver?

defn is not retained from anywhere. It was coined by Clojure. I don't find it particularly shocking. I also consider the ability to write code effectively outside of an autocompleting IDE a feature, not a bug.
This could affect Facebook in a negative way. Think about big sites that get spammed with tons of fake email user accounts. Making Facebook registration the only option, these spammers will be forced through Facebook first, which just hurts Facebook. (Or do they want that so they can report a larger than accurate userbase? heh)

I like the example from the Chrome OS page, it looks really cute. Unfortunately, if JavaScript is deactivated no icons are visible. Some kind of fallback would have been nice.

I have sometimes experimented with JavaScript based animations in the past. But most of the time I decided against putting the animations on web pages, if the page is not about the JavaScript animation itself. Sometimes less really is much better and less distracting. So I think that animations like in the example from the Chrome OS page will not become mainstream.

You could also use SVG embedded in XHTML for animations. Fade-in effects and movements of objects and much more are possible. Unfortunately Inline-SVG does not work in Internet Explorer: the pages will have to be delivered with an application/xhtml+xml MIME type to browsers that can understand it (Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Safari). Internet Explorer will just show a download prompt for such a page. And the XHTML pages must be valid, otherwise the compliant browsers display an error page instead of the (buggy) web page. This is a huge difference to normal HTML pages.

With SVG it is possible to construct vector graphic animations without JavaScript for browsers that support SVG animations. Additionally, you can use JavaScript for more complex effects. This is an alternative to animations with image files and JavaScript. It is also possible to use images in SVG.

I think you place too much emphasis on the symbolism of the capitol building. There was far less damage done to the Capitol (fortunately) than was done in the streets during BLM riots.

And, the police killed an unarmed woman -- no outrage for that?
Crazy part is that one unelected guy (Zuckerberg)has this kind of power. To make this decision at his discretion.

That's exactly what indefinitely means-- they haven't publicly decided when.
Because unlike with Facebook no one has been able to show a single example of Telegram abusing their customers even once.

Let me use an example:

Would you want to ride the absolutely bulletproof and soundproof taxi that has one disadvantage: that it is well known that the drivers make notes about who you are and who you visit and sell that data to companies like Cambridge Analytica?

Or would you take another more ordinary taxi that might not be armoured and soundproof and might or might not log your visits - but at least no one has caught them red handed?

The answer depends on who you are I guess: [edit: if your main fear is that someone might be listening to your conversations and you don't care if the known shady taxi company logs who you visit, go with armoured, bulletproof taxi. I admit] there are times when E2E is a massive difference but for me this is mostly about preventing future Cambridge Analytica situations.

If you think Trump and/or his army treats this as a defeat, think again. Once Biden is in office, social media companies will become rubber stamps for the establishment or be faced with breakup. You wanted one-party rule...you're going to get it.
The censorship issue aside, it feels to me like these companies let this go on because it was good for their bottom line. Now that it looks like he's going away, they want distance.

I'm not advocating for or against this action, just that this seems like an opportunistic stand, not a principled one.
I'm not accusing you of anything. I just want to make sure that it's clear why proactively preventing vote fraud when there historically has been much isn't as simple as it sounds. My parents are all about voter IDs and other measures because they have only heard one side of the argument, that it is possible. What they haven't heard about is the cost to these laws.

Epistemologically, that's why I believe these discussions should be evidence based instead of theoretical or ideological. We don't do a good job of figuring out what is going to work and what is not going to work until we've tried some stuff out. And it needs to balanced. There will be a few people who will try to cheat the system. As long as they get caught and it doesn't affect the election, that's ok. There will be a price to pay in legitimate votes who are unable to cast a ballot because of whatever countermeasures we put in place. The question is, did we strike the right balance?
Mirror Text:

The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden.

His decision to use his platform to condone rather than condemn the actions of his supporters at the Capitol building has rightly disturbed people in the US and around the world. We removed these statements yesterday because we judged that their effect -- and likely their intent -- would be to provoke further violence.

Following the certification of the election results by Congress, the priority for the whole country must now be to ensure that the remaining 13 days and the days after inauguration pass peacefully and in accordance with established democratic norms.

Over the last several years, we have allowed President Trump to use our platform consistent with our own rules, at times removing content or labeling his posts when they violate our policies. We did this because we believe that the public has a right to the broadest possible access to political speech, even controversial speech. But the current context is now fundamentally different, involving use of our platform to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government.

We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great. Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete.
Consider this a specification for a date range defining when his account will be restored. Now we can parse the statement as follows:

1. Indefinitely: The date range has no end.

2. And for at least two weeks: The beginning of the date range is at least two weeks away.

From this, I conclude that Mr. Trump's account will be muted for at least two weeks, and thereafter it could be un-muted at any time, but possibly the heat death of the universe may make the whole thing moot at some point.

GraalVM is mature enough to power Twitter.

AOT compilers for Java exist in production since around 2000, basically all commercial JVMs supported it, specifically those targeted for embedded deployment.

AppCDS in Hotspot is nothing new, basically just like Flight Recorder, proven components from BEA J/Rockit JVM acquired by Oracle, which they eventually decided to make available on Hotspot.

Likewise OpenJ9 AOT and JIT caches, have years of production testing, from IBM J9 deployments in WebSphere Realtime JVM (now discontinued), IBM mainframes, Aix and Linux.

PTC and Sonic have been used for years in military deployments, and factory automation scenarios.

Aicas focus mainly in embedded scenarios.

Excelsior JET was quite good, but for whatever reason they went bankrupt.

Android Runtime, although not Java, has been AOTing since Android 5, starting with Android 7 evolved into a mix of interpreted/JIT/AOT with PGO from JIT, in Android 10 gained the ability to upload PGO profiles to the store so that devices can AOT right away.
Yet the article also says it assigns a female adult, and a child a specific weight.

Which means the weight is a ballpark anyhow. They aren't weighing anyone until totalled when on the plane.

Would they blame overweight people, if a bunch of over average people got on, and skewed that??

edit: just re-skimmed the article, I still don't get how a statistically averaged weight, which can be wildly variable for specific flights, causes issue because it was wrong.

Am I missing something? Is the average supposed to mostly be OK, thus not requiring fuel changes and delays for almost all flights, sav the outliers?
You can come up with a title without editorializing. "Boeing screws up again" would also have been wrong and editorializing.
they do. which is how they figured out the discrepancy between estimated and actual weight.
but they do need to estimate the weight to plan the loading of baggage and cargo, e.g. more male adults in the back of the plane means cargo will prefarably be put in the front of the hold and vice versa.
To summarize: AT&T sucks. Well, the good news is that a majority of iPhone users are not using AT&T.

Anyway, if I were to develop mobile apps instead of web apps, I would still go with iPhone first : much less splintering. But maybe I'm overestimating this issue ?
As the gp said. A trademark dispute is not necessarily a straightforward legal at all. Buying the claim of one side and using your power to enforce an otherwise tenuous sounds like ... uh bullying.

Twitter puts a nofollow attribute on its links to reduce incentive for spammers to tweet. Nofollow means search indexers don't crawl from that link nor count it toward any ranking. (Twitter would have low SEO values anyway because it has too high a concentration of links compared to text.)

As for short URLs, they shouldn't be designed to steal page rank. If they do a proper 301 redirect, then the original address should receive the SEO value.

Why?
This is in fact fair play. Do you dispute that the trademark was taken and that the app name did not infringe?
There was an article today in the WSJ about SpaceX needing $1B in public funding to achieve its goal of shuttling astronauts to the Space Station [1]. That is unfortunate and frankly a little unsettling. It is sad to see the space entrepreneurs who argue against costly government space programs rely on the same government/taxpayer funding to launch their own ventures
