I wonder if software industry depends too heavy on ability to deploy updates.
Some time ago I watched Discovery's documentary about Maersk Triple-E. Engines got produced on other side of globe and couldn't really be tested until ship left the drydock. I guess that replacing the engine required as least disassembling 10% of ship. So engineers responsible for unit had only one attempt and had to made it right.

What is clear is that I did not take a large enough quote from the post I was replying to. Here is an expanded version:

>> Both York and Teller seemed to think Fermi was questioning the feasibility of interstellar travel—nobody thought he was questioning the possible existence of extraterrestrial civilizations

>What happens when a technological civilization 'doesn't last long enough'? It stops existing.

(your emphasis.)

Your observation that a civilization does not exist after it has ceased to exist does not "question the possible existence of extraterrestrial civilizations". To the contrary, unless we assume the author intended to state an empty tautology (which would be too pedantic an assumption to take seriously), then the statement I have just quoted is actually predicated on the assumption that it is possible for them to exist. So, when Fermi suggests that civilizations tend to fail before they colonize the galaxy, he is not questioning their possible existence.

Never give up, never surrender: My 44-year quest to sell a short story to Analog
Completely agree - does anyone know if there are similar open source projects around this? I already have an RPi camera setup for this exactly purpose, but I estimate speed manually (I've measured distance between two visible points on the camera and do a quick calculation as the front bumper passes each point).

I've had it on my "list of side projects" to solve this problem with OpenCV, but haven't gotten enough "Tuits" to get it done, yet since the camera footage has been enough to get me a police car in front of my house monitoring speed. My cousin is a cop in my county and he's indicated that the spot is basically a "ticket-writing factory" -- they don't even bother with cars going 5-10 over since there are so many going 15+ and parking right in front of my house, across the street, puts the cop in a spot where he's not able to be noticed until the car is too close to slow down enough to avoid a ticket.

For a while, the spot was even marked as a speed trap on Waze (not sure if it still is, nor whether or not I was the one who marked it :), but I haven't looked in a while).

When I get it done, I'll be sure to post the complete code along with a blog post on how to set it up, but if there's anything already out there that could get me close, I'd love to know about it.
Web Design Trend Element – Overlooked yet Obvious Restrictions – Designrazzi

> I've never bought the argument that cheap oil has a significant effect on car sales, especially in saturated developed markets.

If you look at the sales figures it is quite obvious that you're not in the majority here. It's a little tricky to model because cars are all getting better mileage every year, but when gas is expensive gas guzzlers definitely experience a dip in sales (and vice versa).

Yes, I understand that consumers benefit massively. But they are selling the oil at a lesser profit, not selling it at a loss.

If there was an extrinsic way to say that the value of oil in that ground is higher than the price they are charging for it, then it would clearly be a wealth transfer. Short of that, I don't think it is so clear, it can just be sensible trade.

A dumb insulting analogy: I build you a dresser (pump oil) and use the money you give me to pay for part of a car (I spend the proceeds locally, but also spend more than the proceeds).

If the price for the dresser is fair, I'm obviously not transferring wealth to you.

Actually, Larry Page himself thought from very early beginning that Google is an AI company:

AROUND 2002 I attended a small party for Google—before its IPO, when it only focused on search. I struck up a conversation with Larry Page, Google’s brilliant cofounder, who became the company’s CEO in 2011. “Larry, I still don’t get it. There are so many search companies. Web search, for free? Where does that get you?”… But Page’s reply has always stuck with me: “Oh, we’re really making an AI.”

> 2. While oil has a high elasticity of demand (people need to drive to work and heat their houses), I've never bought the argument that cheap oil has a significant effect on car sales, especially in saturated developed markets. Who decides to make a $20k, 5-10 year investment based on something as volatile as oil prices? Car sales are driven mainly by income growth, marketing, and social pressures.

Oil generally is considered to have a low elasticity of demand, or better said, is relatively inelastic, especially in the short term. You appear to be using the concept backwards.

And while you may not have bought the argument that oil prices affect car sales, that fact continues to be true without your consent and is borne out by economic research.
I agree on that. Unless you are developing a platform specific utility that is not meaningful in other environments, it is not a good practice to limit yourself. It also makes sense is when you are not creating a product bust just playing with a technology.

Even Microsoft is now doing multi-platform tools for developers (https://code.visualstudio.com/).
Yes, this is not obviously deflationary. Especially when it's a resource that contributes to market inefficiency, like transportation costs. If it becomes cheaper to move things from A to B, then price differentials between A and B become harder to sustain. (that can contribute both to price falls as well as price increases - if it costs less to export something to a foreign market, domestic consumers might have to pay suppliers MORE to persuade them to sell the item locally rather than ship it overseas).

The worst case is that various oil-exporting states find they suddenly have a huge budget hole and are forced into cutting the social programs which hold them together, resulting in riots and civil wars. Russia, Iraq, and Nigeria are obvious risks here. Potentially the proxy war between KSA and Iran might turn into an actual war between those two countries.

With persistent data structures you don't have a whole copy of the entire system. The two views of your system share memory where information didn't change. Sort of like how Git works.
Its going to come sooner or later though. Maybe this could be a good kick in the butt for nations that lived off selling their natural resources for so long that they have never bothered doing anything else. Middle east is the biggest offender, followed by Russia and a few in Latin America.

Saudi oil production is higher than it has been since the late '70s. Which means to me that they're driving supply well above any kind of stable point. Certainly, they're taking an economic hit from it. Which they have done before to drive other suppliers into line.

The Saudis are not so much chasing hares as cockroaches.

I always suggest Vanguard funds - Vanguard Energy Fund Investor Shares:

https://personal.vanguard.com/us/funds/snapshot?FundId=0051&...

Note that this is SUPER RISKY investment fund. If you look at the chart it has major swings up and down. The fund is down 20% for 2016 (yikes!). But if you had held it from 2012 -> 2014 you would have gotten a 40% return on your investment.

I like Vanguard funds since they have a low management cost to them and they tend to be a little more conservative in their selection.

I happily use a github repo for taking my 'programmer notes'. Advantages:

2. Allows me to use my preferred editor
3. No need to worry about backups: Git push and you're done
4. Accessible from anywhere, even if you don't have your computer

Is there anything that Quiver would offer that I wouldnt already have with a github repo?
Yes, and if you look at the market cap on both of GOOG and GOOGL on Google Finance, you'll note that they are the same (after close -- during trading they seem to be very close but slightly different, probably for timing reasons) and if you do the math, you'll see that for each they aren't reporting the individual cap but the combined cap.

My first reaction was that the problem was one or the other share class being excluded, and then I checked exactly the sources you cite and checked the numbers and realized that couldn't be the problem if.you used Google Finance reported market caps, because they don't report it that way.

Who thinks of falling prices as wealth transfer?

Seems like a reasonable description to me.

Oil price = $100/bbl
Gas = $4/gal
I spend $400 per month on gas.

Oil price = $25/bbl
Gas = $2/gal
I spend $200 per month on gas.

The extra $200 I have each month used to go to the oil producer.

Exactly.

The Saudis tried petro-power politics by driving prices up through cutting production, but other OPEC members immediately increased production for the additional lucrative revenue.

OPEC has been dead for a while -- why? It was a cartel that survived on the basis of raising and lowering production in unison, and now it is a race to the bottom. The Saudis were betrayed and this is their revenge.

The oil flood is as much about punishing other OPEC members as it is about killing potential Iranian oil revenue.

I think you're grossly over-estimating the gap between #1 and #2 in a world where network-connected cameras are so cheap and include significant local processing capabilities.

More importantly, however, there are multiple forces driving deployment of cameras in a variety of area (e.g. right now my city is offering homeowners a tax benefit to install one because of an increase in crime, many people want all police activity to be recorded, etc.) and it seems unlikely that anything will reverse that trend. I think that means that the way to prevent abuse isn't to try to fight block the technology but rather to focus on legal protections & oversight – things like retention policies, restricted access and logging, etc. to avoid strengthening the argument that privacy activists are preventing legitimate police work.

I just wanted to respond to this:

> It's not immediately clear to me how e.g. throttle is implemented, but it must accumulate state inside it somehow in order to replay the event after the timer.

Certainly, a lot of FRP (and functional programming in general!) concepts involve state. I would never argue that there is no state in functional programming, just that the state is more explicit, localized, and easier to reason about.

In fact, in pure FRP, there are two fundamental building blocks: Behavior and Event. A Behavior is simply a value over time, and an Event is a value at an instant in time. Therefore, Behaviors are where you store state. However, what makes them "easier to reason about" is that oftentimes the API forces you to construct them in a way that makes all of the possible ways to change the Behavior are clear and present at once.

In summary, all inherently stateful concepts require stateful code, at lease somewhere under the hood. I would say that FRP and functional programming just make the state explicit.
There's a huge difference between negative interest rates on the part of the government as a lender and as a borrower.

As a lender (ie, giving out loans that only need to be paid back in part), they mean the gov is essentially giving away money (which constitutes an incredibly corrupt bargain with the banking establishment, but is obviously distortionary on face regardless of who's getting the deal).

As a borrower (ie, charging to hold money at the fed) they're essentially collecting a fee for various regulatory and quasi-seigniorage services. For instance, if you require assets to be held in certain forms (central bank deposits, government bonds...), a negative yield is basically charging for providing an asset that satisfies those regulatory requirements.
I agree. I sell truck accessories. Yes, it does have a significant effect. People really are that short sighted.
BuGit: File-less distributed issue tracking system with Git
That's why significant end of line whitespace is a terrible design feature. You can't see it. It might get deleted accidentally.

There were some systems back in the DOS/early UNIX era which had significant EOL whitespace. Spaces at the end of a line are still significant following a "\" in shell files. Some early word processors under DOS had significant whitespace at EOL, but tended to display something like a paragraph mark when it mattered.

Python had tab/space trouble at beginnings of lines, but the compiler was finally fixed so that it emits an error if tabs and spaces are mixed in a way which makes indentation visually ambiguous. That was a neat solution to the problem.

Leading tabs in makefiles were a mistake. The author of "make" once wrote that he put that in, and then, the next day, realized it was a bad idea. But he already had a user base of three users and didn't want to change it and break their code.

I thought this idea was dead and buried. Sometimes, they come back.
