It's not a simple trade off. That's the problem, it's multi-dimensional.

Diesel tends to be better at providing a satisfying driving experience with really high mileage. Better mileage means less CO2.

Diesel also tends to emit particulates and trace elements in the oil that it combusts. That means more smog, "acid rain," etc..

If you have to pick one axis, "acid rain" is out of vogue and CO2 isn't and diesel looks like a clear winner and you wonder why every car isn't one. If you pay attention to both axis then diesel starts to dramatically lose its advantage and you really have to use some exotic cleanup technologies just to keep it in the same league as gas engines.

I really don't know if there is big money involved, so much as just too simple a view of the problems. It's not like "clean coal" they both use effectively the same fuel that's just refined differently.

"In truth, Wayne’s roles, and personal ideologies, were much more ambivalent, complicated, and nuanced in his opinions than popular memory allows."

His characters were always divorced ( and possibly misogynist ) , lousy fathers and frankly, assholes.
I think that's the charm - the character could say what's
on his mind. Embittered, more or less tired of life. Somebody who'd paid the price for all that violence and hubris. This was pretty outrageous at the time.

I also think his movies were a lot for people who had ...daddy issues.

But the guy had a basket of riffs ( and usually hooks
from the writers ) to make that work. Those movies play weekly on infinite repeat.

I think Teh Movies would have made movies where women did what John Wayne did but that would have landed flat at the time. He had ...some movies with the great Woody Strode, where Woody played the better man ( especially "Liberty Vallance" ) so it's harder to say he was strictly racist.

Also - see "Rustler's Rhapsody" which is a deconstruction of the contradictory tropes in Westerns.

They do identify the moment - when "Midnight Cowboy" won the Oscar - when my parents' generation disconnected from movies.
What version are you talking about? Modern blender has a great gui. I used it last year and felt it was incredibly efficient and easy once I had the ~20 keys I needed for my project in muscle memory.
Power, Efficiency, or Emissions. Choose two for diesel. We now know exactly what we got: exhaust spewing out deadly particulates and NO2.
Iceland is still breeding at a healthy yet sustainable 2.04 births per woman, actually.

Compare to 1.4 in Italy (and I thought they were Catholics!) or 1.38 in Germany.

Actually now I look it up the US is only 1.88 in the last stats that come up, so Iceland is out-breeding the US.

Edit: and while I don't know why I bother researching and typing these things since I inevitably wind up with negative karma the moment I suggest something not directly in line with HN herd opinion, I wish to add that the top-selling car in Iceland is the respectably mid sized Skoda Octavia.
I have realized for quite some time now that there are at least three different uses of types in programming languages (with different goals), namely:

1. Specification of constraints on data - the function arguments and return values. This corresponds to usage of types in logic. The goal here is the correctness of the program (and ease of reasoning about it).

2. A way to define polymorphic functions, i.e. functions that do the same or similar operations with different kinds of data. Here we classify data as of some type so that we can define two functions with the same name, but different types, where the correct one is selected either during compilation or run time based on the parameter type. The goal is conciseness, to avoid explicit conditional statements everywhere or other ways of code duplication.

3. Finally, to specify way how the computer is to store data, or generally how to model abstract concepts (such as integers) within the computer. This becomes less relevant with time (as languages increase in abstraction), but is important use historically. For example, integers that can be modeled with many different types in C. The goal here is to have type as a reference to concrete and efficient representation of the abstract concept.

I think this is pretty much what the paper is suggesting, although IMHO not so clearly.
So where do you think we should go from here? Honestly. I share your misgivings about regulating political speech, but then we get things like

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/10/11/us/politics/20...

Whether or not you agree with the slant of that article, it is a fact that Super PACs have enabled a massive centralization of political contributions - which, even if there's a limit on how much advertising can accomplish in general (cf. Trump), is still fundamentally undemocratic, and should be fought. We probably can't just go back to how things used to be, so how do we go forward?
It really is incredible. It's worth giving serious consideration to pausing human activity in the oceans until we really understand what the whales are doing and saying.

Uber hire drivers as freelancers but treat them as employers.

- Uber drivers can't hire people to drive for them.

- Uber drivers can't decide which car they want to use.

- Uber drivers can't decide the price they are charging their customers.

- Uber discourages tipping.

- Uber doesn't pay for their healthcare.

Thats not a clear case of anything. Thats the opening of an important debate because it points to some underlying issues with society and technology that needs to be debated much more seriously than simply yelling "Luddite fallacy" and what people otherwise like to brush aside any concern about the speed of technology vs. societies ability to cope with it.
You've hit on a great point here: learning a programming language requires you to be able to interpret it in your head if you want to be really productive on it. I think that that bears repeating.
That was already the case for most taxi drivers. Except they also had to pay to rent the medallions to some useless rentier like Evgeny Freidman, while Uber doesn't charge.
Its like law school-its better to graduate from Stanford at the bottom of your class, than from Santa Clara University at the top. Prestige matters.

Presumably you mean that because there's government, it's arbitrary and likely fraudulent. I'm not sure how that's worse than Alice showing up with a card swiper, or showing up with Bob's card swiper, but... whatever.

The cognitive dissonance here makes my head hurt. What exactly is the person "sharing" their car with you?

VW is not the only supplier of diesel engines and the other manufacturers to date have not been proven to cheat (though it may very well be that Mercedes, BMW or some other company will end up in the same docket besides VW when all is said and done as far as I know there is no proof of this at the present).

So this not 'the death of diesel for automobiles', though it may definitely be the death of diesel sales for VW in the United States.

As for public health suffering: the best way to improve public health is to promote cycling, reducing the total mileage a person spends driving during their life is the biggest public health benefit you could score and from that perspective whether you focus on diesel or petrol or CO2 emissions versus NOx as the most important is time, effort and resources wasted.

I'm trying to imagine everybody that I see cycling here driving a vehicle and the resulting pollution would be astounding, especially for short trips (when the catalytic convertor has not yet warmed up).
In America, diesel is traditionally for trucks. And wrt ( pickup ) trucks, my uncles ran farms, and unless they were hauling something, they'd take the car to town. That was like putting on a clean shirt.

People were too poor to have cars but they needed a pickup to work the farm. So if you had a car...
Interesting, reminds me of a related question. I've looked recently for 10 gig ethernet on a new laptop and haven't been able to find it.

I know it is overkill, its just that it has been about ten years already, isn't it cheap enough yet? Can't a modern ssd keep up with it?
Sure, it's a start. We would have to just wait & watch.
They tend to make more money as Uber/Lyft drivers than they do as medallion cab drivers?

I've been taking a fair number of Uber rides lately, and the fares are both much lower for me, and much higher for them, because Uber gives them a considerably higher cut than they would get working for a taxi company. Owner-operators might be a different matter.
"Craft" isn't a kind of beer, so there isn't 11% of the market to go after. About the closest you'd come to that is super-hoppy IPAs. If the narrative I'm supposed to be worried about is that AB InBev blankets the market with a good super-hoppy IPA, I guess I'm fine with that.

When I land in SF, if I haven't purchased any plan ahead of time, my rate 5$ per MEGAbyte. That is IF my phone actually works, which is probably 90% for outgoing and 50/50 for receiving incoming calls. Canadian ISPs are horrible, but we don't have much choice. Since Uber relies on having a working phone it cannot rise above that horrible bar. Taxis don't require any working technology.

B1/B2 visas are for business and pleasure - so I could see that working for you at the local interview.

I believe B1 is pleasure and B2 is business or vice-versa.

IANAL but I would recommend having a good source of funding and having an incorporated company and not having taken any kinds of exams such as TOEFL or SAT etc.
The mouse focus issue is more related to missing APIs. If you call operators (tools) from Python they do indeed depend on context, just like they would if you use them from a toolbar, menu or shortcut key. These are not intended to be used for scripting really, but they are available and sometimes the only way to do things because there is no equivalent API function available.
List of mutual defense treaties. This may be a good working definition of "part of the empire." They don't enjoy the same rights as US citizens but their security is guaranteed by the US military. http://www.state.gov/s/l/treaty/collectivedefense/

I'd say it cuts both ways. I don't get out much myself, but I keep pretty well in touch with friends from all walks of life via social media. In another era many of those relationships would have atrophied with both time and distance.
Yes, I think you're on point with how the exploit could work. Just as reference, I do think the notion of "payola" is similar in practice - using avenues to represent an organic growth of interest, but achieved through alternate means.
The author's calculations about how much it costs to make the payments on a car are flawed. Driving for Uber full time, your car won't last as long as the loan. Based on my experience driving for Lyft and Uber last year, you can figure about 5-7K miles per month for a full-time driver.
Probably a combination of lack of need until recently (125MB/sec is more than fine to saturate a classic disk), parts cost and power consumption.

I can't think of anything except connecting to a _fast_ SAN that would require a 10GBE port in a laptop. Maybe something specialized for a network engineer, but even then it's probably easier to buy dedicated equipment for line rate port monitoring
If you want to be that sort of gatekeeper then feel free, but know that "science fiction" has long had a larger umbrella than the term you want, and your beliefs are in the minority.

For example, "Star Wars" won the Hugo for 'Best Dramatic Presentation' in 1978 so right there it's obvious that a lot of people - and those who are more identifiable and influential than your bland 'many people' - classify it as science fiction.

(Bear in mind that "The Force" or an equivalent has long been a thread in SF. Think of the mental powers of the Lensmen, or precognition in 'Dune', or telekinesis in 'Stranger in a Strange Land'. You cannot handwave it way as "fantasy" without throwing out a lot of other SF.)

I also gave two other examples of mainstream science fiction which are no less fantastical than Babylon V. To that list I'll add Pellucidar.

What is the science driving "Tunnel in the Sky"? A magic device that can slow time and allows space warp. What of the rest qualifies as 'scientific' which makes it notably "science fiction" instead of simply "fiction"?

What is the science behind "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"?

Or "The Dispossessed"? The main characters live on a moon, the primary is also inhabited, there is occasional radio and rocket connection between the two, and there's a computer that helps with resource planning. None of those details drive the plot.

For that matter, is there any TV series you think should be called "science fiction"? What actual SF do you think deserves being called SF? I gave names. Now it's your turn.

Google prototypes have a big, red stop button that, I assume, takes precedence over hackable software.

Similarly, it's easy to not have door unlocking connected to hackable software.

In general, I find hacking worries unwarranted.

Sure, cars from car manufacturers were hacked because car manufacturers are bad at writing software and are bad at security.

Google is good at software and they are top-notch on security. They have been fighting hacking of their web services from day one, they employ world class cryptographers and security researchers. They are also aware that if their cars were hacked, it would be a very bad PR.

Requiring licensed driver would significantly hamper adoption of self-driving cars not to mention cutting off people who need such service the most (e.g. old people who are no longer fit for driving; disabled people; drunk people etc.)
The networks used by supercomputers have have kernel bypass with DMA for more than a decade... and they do a lot of processing on the data, too. Check out Infiniband and Intel's Omni-Path for modern examples. Or the Cray T3E (1995), which had an excellent network with a user-level DMA engine that only did 8- or 64-byte transfers.

Also you need a special drivers license [1], that needs to get renewed every 5 years and entails that you are mentally and physically fit (checked by a doctor) and know much about the region you're going to drive in (checked in a test).

> That 0.08 g/km figure is using the 'new european driving cycle' which features unrealistically low loads on the engine, engines are known to increase their NOx emissions quite a bit when under load.

Doesn't that lend further support to the point that U.S. regulations, while also obviously not perfect, are stronger in this area?

> Anyway, NOx is not the only gas that the EU is concerned about, C02 figured very large in the whole reduction program as well.

But you were challenging pwthornton's assertion that "The US is also much more concerned with air pollution that affects human health." While CO2 emissions are undesirable, NOx and particulates are what actually kill people in polluted cities.

Diesel are also better in wet weather compared to gasoline engines although gas engines are better than the used to be.

Better in wet weather how? I've to assume that you must mean something related to torque and traction, as the only problem one might have with a gasoline engine in the wet might be ignition parts. Though never much of a problem on maintained vehicles, what little problem there was went away when distributor caps and wires went away twenty years ago.

ARPANet funding started in 1967 or 1968 and brought up the first links in 1969, CompuServe in 1969, FidoNet started in 1982, JANET in 1983, so I don't think you had access to Janet, FidoNet, and CompuServe prior to the ARPANet, or even prior to TCP/IP in 1978 or so.

Some kind of network was going to happen — but remember that Telenet, Tymnet, and PC-Pursuit (aside from CompuServe, The Source, Minitel, and of course the PSTN itself) were already generally available in the 1980s. The issue is that the existing networks were either too tightly controlled and inflexible (Minitel, CompuServe, the PSTN) or too slow (FidoNet) to support a lot of the applications to which we put the internet today.
