> I just see a set of facts.

I just see someone being totally disingenuous, so I'm not sure it's worth engaging with this.

To pick just one example (since I've already given several in the post you replied to which you seem to have ignored):

Does Christianity have as its "highest values" either "freedom" or "democracy"? Historically they've often been on the wrong side of both. Does any religion meet this test? If not then why did you feel the need to state this particular fact about this particular religion? As I said, it's rhetorically weak and open to entirely fair accusations of hypocrisy, even if you yourself are not a Christian.
Cool but...

My juvenile instincts led me to search straight for "sex". Result: a few images related to Sussex. I guess the search engine needs some work.
i don't know which business you work for, but i have it on good authority (from an unspecified sqlite core developer) that getting software into commercial airplanes requires 100% auditability of the source history. i _assume_ that's the same for space travel - maybe not, or maybe it depends on the context.
I dont know the old HN (how old exactly?), but what I know is that it has not changed that much in the last ~4 years in my opinion.
There are few articles on the 10-30 year outlook because it's been discussed so many times (see peak oil). No one wants to read old news. Anyway, one of the biggest flaws in your theory is how humanity will ween off oil, given the growth of renewables/electric cars. Oil is a finite resource. If there is a non-zero need for it, people will consume it and dip into this finite pool. As the pool depletes, prices will increase. So currently, what is oil used for, and do we expect to use oil in the future?

There are numerous critical uses for oil. Oil derivatives are used to fertilize most of the food on the planet. Oil derivatives used to make almost all clothes sold today. Oil derivatives are used to make tires, shampoo, paint, soap, toothpaste, rubber, glasses, and 10s of thousands of other products. Many industrial solvents, essential for 20th century goods, are oil derivatives https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrochemical . Here is a partial list of products made from petroleum http://www.ranken-energy.com/products%20from%20petroleum.htm . There are just so many uses for oil. Oil is critical for modern American life. Many experts expect oil based products to be used by humanity for the next thousand years.

Unless there is a drastic change in how oil is produced, petroleum will be consumed until all cost-effective reserves are depleted. The assumption the world "will only pull up half of what it already has in reserves"(!!) is naive.
Rage – The REAL Dislike Button
Unfortunately it's not viable. The H1B Visa program is extremely broken. Visas are capped yearly and run out in a few days. This happens around April.

There are a bunch of other reasons, like a preference for STEM graduates, abuse of the Visa program by big companies and more. They are all equally depressing to iterate through.

The easiest path to immigrate to the US legally is to find a good job in your home country in a company that has offices in the US, work there for at least a year and ask to relocate under the L1A/B Visa.

I went through several different Visas so feel free to ask me questions.
It's not that the metallic debris has caused the failure, but rather it indicates a serious failure has occurred inside the engine.
I doubt that president Obama's aides expected to be quoted in economic science articles on their cost prediction of the construction of a Death Star like orbital battle station.

If I read the paper right, I think the cost analysis of the Death Star is more a fun trick to build a real world money analogy in which the final quantity is of no relevance at all, as they later normalize it to a gross galactic product, based on the manhattan project.
It is still in force, in most if not all EU mainland countries and Switserland. e.g. http://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0004825/HoofdstukII/5/Artikel1... for the Dutch equivalence.

It basically means on a level crossing that you should yield to the car that is to your right. This a basic rule, adapted in priority by signaling law enforcement, traffic lights, traffic signs, signs on the floor of the road, and then mutual understanding between all drivers. On a roundabout its the otherway round (priority is to the car on the left, by virtue of cars on the roundabout having priority). This will be reinforced by signs next to the road and special triangels on the road surface (e.g. see https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaientanden_%28verkeer%29).

It is the fall back rule in case there are no signs or other regulations. i.e. in the us its is the fallback rule for a fourway stop situation. In the EU its the basics and people drive in the expectation that if you are on their left you will yield as in accordance with this rule.
> Are you really suggesting or implying that the poor won't be affected by this?

Due to some unfortunate medical issues, I currently live just barely above the poverty line (SSDI). I have about $100/year that I can spend on "fun" things like my fastmail account. I will be able to afford very few paywalls, if any.

The people I know personally that currently live below the poverty line are sick of being taken advantage of by supposedly "free" services.

Don't you dare try to tell me how you think the poor will be affected by any of this.

> Practically the entire internet is free

Some of it, like wikipedia, is free because it is funded by the community (a funding model that you seem very reluctant to acknowledge).

As for the youtube/etc, I already covered that in a previous reply[1].

The rest... is not free. Services like google or facebook may not cost money, but only a naive fool would describe their services as free. If, by some chance, you are actually ignorant of how their business model actually works, you should watch Aral Balkan's very good overview of how you are the product[2].

> Because I've learned considerably more from non-academic sites.

I can tell. You might want to consider studying better sources. I have nothing against those places, but there are significantly better educational sources available on the internet.

> You haven't fully connected all the dots yet.

I never claimed I had. I only know what I've seen, and I've seen the internet slowly crumble. NAT ruined the power to publish freely[3], and advertising became a perverse incentive working against actual journalism and creativity.

On the other hand, you seem unable to acknowledge that advertising is only one type of funding model, and you seem very naive regarding the actual costs that model exacts on society.

Explore more of the internet, and think of creative ways to approach the question of funding. If you are observant, you may notice that there are quite a few successful creative endeavors that exist outside of the world of advertising.

I'm assuming this isn't a real example of a thing you would want to do, because it doesn't make sense. (redirecting stderr to stdout, stdout to a file, then pipe to tee and echo?)

At any rate, you'd:

1. use some sort of popen()

2. use pipes and pass the same pipe to stdout as stderr

3. pass stdout of one popen to another's stdin

4. just use bash, because this gets so hairy and bash does it really well. When I want to use a complex pipeline of programs in non-bash programs, I'll frequently popen() to a bash script. This is ugly, but if you're really careful (shellshock?) it can be ok.
> Do you know at least 3 million people who use git without github?

Why must one have never used github while also not using github? I have many private repos I share amongst my machines, but I also publish projects on github when I want them to be public.

> Both Fossil and hg have an httpd built-in.

That seems horrible. Why do I want these features built in when they can be delegated to other applications (which I can choose among based on their features and not forced to use the one supplied?)

ATLAS and CMS physics results from Run 2 – live webcast from CERN
I like the subject is "General Finance". It seems like pretty specific case study to me....
I like the way you imagine 3 levels of communication, viz. chatting, email and project related. However, I think the jump from email to project-related is too large. The amount of ceremony required for project tools is too high relative to email. In particular, these tools are based on static 'groups' or 'teams' and hence are nothing like email's per-message variation in users. Furthermore they are based on asymmetric permissions (owner vs. non-owner) which leads to an entirely different set of dynamics.

I think a level between email and projects can bring a lot of benefits the author is looking for with only a modest increase in cognitive overhead. In this approach, there would be a first-class entity at the thread-level. So, the entire Discussion would be a first class entity.

This solves a lot of the author's problems. You don't have random stuff showing up and disappearing from threads (based on Subject and based on whether you happened to be copied or not).

Threads could easily have tracking numbers which would open up email to the 'outside world'. Also, once one has a first-class thread, one could associate append-only updateable content sections. This would be like attachments but without the versioning problems.

In fact it would be easy to build a lightweight process framework, with tasks etc. on such a foundation.

Disclaimer: Our company (https://tmail21.com) has built just such a system. It adds a first class entity at the thread level (which we call a TMail). It allows users to start with Simple Topic-Oriented Discussions and from there progress to Goal-oriented Discussions and from there to Lean Processes.

The problem isn't where it is - using "ls" to find files is never a good idea from my understanding. I think it's because of ls garbling file names but I might be mistaken there.

That the author is using that to find files is reasonable enough to me to disregard the rest of the blog.

> Some of the autonomous vehicles could communicate to negotiate the behaviour I assume it would have to work without in order to deal with both non-autonomous vehicles and areas of no cell phone signal.

Even the non-autonomous vehicles could have the capacity to show on-screen to the driver what it's planning to do, or what it will do based on your actions. That could be quite a cool approach, although the systems would have to be smart enough to not overload human drivers with too much information (and in turn cause accidents due to distraction).

How is this different than the traditional arts and entertainment fields? Most singers, song writers, painters, sculptors, writers, etc also struggle their whole life to make a living. Just because your art is digital and you can reach hundreds of thousands of people at the click of a button doesn't mean that you will become rich overnight. Sure we need new revenue models for content on the Internet--but my prediction is that they will lead to a lot fewer people watching content (much less paying for it). Not to mention that if your fan base is comprised of 13 year olds who need to ask their parents for a credit card every time, you can't make much money off of them.

Your efforts are appreciated, and I'm sure you're correct in all you say, but I can't escape the feeling that we're talking about different things.

I readily concede that "diffuse" has ambiguous meaning and therefore a poor choice, however.

Beyond that, I don't think what I'm saying is any more complicated or controversial than the example of the match and the sun.

My attempts to clarify have revealed further gaps in my precision of phrasing, but your explanations haven't identified any specific points of confusion for me. I'm sure that says more about my comprehension than about your explanations.

We're now in open battle with HN's anti-dialogue margin creep -- and we know who wins that battle, every time -- so I'll take my distant memories of undergrad mechanics and E&M, mark the page dirty, invalidate the cache, etc.

Missing the lead time aspect.

There's no point in capping tight / shale oil, the production decline half life is only a couple months. The last wells drilled before the price drop are rapidly declining to zilch now. Its a treadmill and you must keep drilling. If you want production in say two years, you start planning the new wells now. We stopped awhile ago. In a very long term sense you're correct, but in a short term sense shale is dead-ish till maybe 2018 even if the Saudis hike the price today. If you're looking for scams and propaganda, in shale they all live in cornucopian fantasy projections of decline rates vs actual historical decline rates, and never the two shall meet. Sure if the decline half life of a shale well was 40 years instead of 4 months, America would be energy independent, yeah. Generally for reports and analysis of shale, the further from geological reports the more comedic and disconnected from reality.

Oil sands aka Canada get killed off a different way. Its very expensive and the extensive financial structuring required to buy all the loot to produce is crazy. The Saudis basically make an example by saying as long as they're the swing producer, they decide when and how badly Canadian oil sands will go bankrupt. Who will run out of cash first, you as a sands producer, or the Saudi Royal Family? There's some talk oil sands have never made a profit and never will, when everythings accounted for, especially predictable Saudi price manipulation. And talk that the EROEI ratio is less than one. Most of it is just talk. But the facts based on that talk are correct that its very marginal, right on the border of being a real energy source like traditional oil or merely a jobs program / bubble scheme like ethanol was. Anyway the leadtime point is its hard to raise money to resurrect a bankrupt financial ecosystem. There are two strategies. One is wait for the Saudis to collapse and no longer be swing producers while hoping the world economy holds together till other sources come on line, the other other is some kind of nationalization of the sands / job program where you can "in your face" to the Saudis that Canada is going to produce half a million barrels a day no matter what the price is manipulated to. Both are kind of unappealing in their own way.

one thing which would really be great is an OSM client for Kindle/ebook readers with an offline data store. With an optimised interface and map styling it could come in handy in many cases (hiking, bike tours - anything where weight, power and portability are a concern).

Obviously an editor like spatialdev are developing would need more advanced features thus they are targeting android.

The irony.
In software you pay for complexity. Big software is more complex than small software (by definition!) so it's more expensive.

However, managing systems of small software also incurs complexity, the smaller the software components the harder you have to work to make them play together.

It's often not clear a priori whether it's worth to pay a lot more up front to get a monolithic solution or to try and glue together many simple tools.
Then they would not be 'self driving cars'. A whole pile of the possible applications for self driving cars hinge on the ability of the car to operate independently. If a licensed operator needs to be present then a very large number of the self driving car advantages instantly evaporate.

The general take of college, yes, is a joke. But for me I was able to find some diamonds in the rough at the University I went to. Sure there were pointless classes I had to take, professors whom I would learn what they liked/disliked and regurgitated it back to them, but all of it was worth it for just one professor and the affect he had upon me (and all his other students for that matter).

He was the 'Hard' Professor of our CS program. The one where if you could walk out of a test with a 50/100 you felt like you just won the lottery. He was ruthless, iron clad, and never made a mistake with his grading. He would never assign a textbook in which he wouldn't use every chapter to lecture from. He would run through a red pen for each class writing notes back to us and giving us different ways of studying and writing down exercises from the book or his mind to help us understand. We would learn the material. Getting out of his class with a 'B' or even rarer an 'A' was considered a very high honor (and jokingly, the stuff of legend) at our University.

But when he recently announce his retirement, students from years gone by came back, almost like a pilgrimage, to reach back out to him in some way. His ruthless tests, his wise teaching, his fatherly advice for all things in our initial careers in whichever direction we went with them, that is a reason I was glad I went to college and had the honor and privilege to learn from him. Jokes of how many people had to extend their stays at university because he 'failed' them, but then again each person whom hated him at that point, still made the trek back and regarded him one of their lives best mentors.

Are there crappy people in college (students, instructors, professors, admins, etc.) ... heck yeah. But then again there are those who instill values and education in their peers. You just need to find them.
