I know that corridor - and I agree with you. Unfortunately, there's also a huge number of people that don't treat snow with the respect it deserves. If you live in WV or OH (or in PA near enough to the border to fake it) you still don't need to have your car inspected. In PA, you can probably still find a mechanic that will slap a sticker on anything, but it's getting harder.

In any case, you need good tires and working brakes to navigate snow effectively. Anti-lock brakes (in my opinion) are no better than a person that can properly pulse their brakes but ... if you've got even a slight warp in your rotor, you won't brake evenly enough to stop in the snow. The other problem in PA is PennDOT's "new regime". There's been far more ice packed onto the roads when it snows lately - because melting snow that's packed under tires turns to ice. I'd far rather drive on dry, crunchy snow (for traction)

A human can notice when new evidence becomes relevant. If something isn't already on a computer's checklist when it becomes relevant, the human has a better chance of deciding what to do.

EDIT: I understand that there is research going into making computers recognize "novel" situations. My comment only applies to algorithms that contain "checklists".
thanks.
"The data stream from the detectors provides approximately 300 GByte/s of data, which after filtering for "interesting events", results in a data stream of about 300 MByte/s. The CERN computer center, considered "Tier 0" of the LHC Computing Grid, has a dedicated 10 Gbit/s connection to the counting room."
Has anyone ever successfully done so? I thought the sheer nature of an NSL (not even being allowed to tell your wife or lawyer about it) made that route impossible.
Take notes (external to the code) on everything you learn about a given module, whether code/flow analysis, insights on input / output / objects, visible interactions, and what it reveals about how project-specific libraries are used. Otherwise, it's so easy to have an "oh, that's what that does" insight and lose it later because you assumed you'd remember it.

I wouldn't dismiss him, no. But everything is relative, and personally I find his opinions to be pedestrian compared to his other conservative colleagues. Judging by the relative infrequency of his majority opinions, I gather they feel similarly.
The posting is worth reading but the premise of bias is wrong. Technology (that is, Netflix's recommendation algorithm)does not have a racial bias per se but it does discover the cohorts viewers belong to (using their behavior) and report categories of recommendations derived from the aggregate cohorts behavior. If race were not a distinguishing feature in the cohort's data, it would not be a distinguishing feature.
I hate El Camino road. The right most lane is always far too wide which means if a bus has stopped everyone expects you to still squeeze from the limited space. If you don't they will honk. If you do there is always a possibility that the giant bus might miss you and hit you.

However an important take away for all bay area drivers from the article is

You are supposed to HUG the right shoulder when making a right turn. I am yet to see a single driver who embraces that principle. It is not just for your safety and convenience of the traffic behind you but also because of the safety of bike riders, if you make a sudden right turn they might hit you and get injured.
Something like this already exists.

I create an article on "bob", my pet cat. It says "bob" is a domesticated feline owned by Norman. Because I'm lazy I never update it when "bob" gets run over. Because it is such obscure topic, no one else updates it either. No one thinks to link it to accident report (one that killed poor bob). Non one ever expands on the life of "bob". No one updates it with link to cat species page, or the Norman page, or pets page.

That is very, very "low quality". It becomes wrong over time and never had much info to begin with.

That is obviously extreme end of spectrum. But the same issues occur for many, many topics for long ways along spectrum away from obscurity.

Wikipedia works causer there is a critical mass of people willing to create, expand, keep up to date any given topic. Topics need to be "notable" enough to reach that critical mass or else they rot. And rot reduces the value of entire thing.

I "browse" wikipedia, both the random link some else mentioned and by following links. Some, when they find knowledge is not there, try to add it.
Great ideas!
I think it does have non-volatile on-chip storage, which is used to store a randomly generated key that is encrypted with the key derived from the PIN and UID. It is that randomly generated key that is used to encrypt flash data.

I cannot find documentation to verify this. I presume the people down voting you do, but unfortunately they've chosen to down vote instead of being useful and posting a link. (The only link I've seen is for A7 and later systems)
But I could set the cost of mining low enough to make it feasible no? Seems like the attraction of creating an altcoin vs using Ethereum is that it's a simpler system. If I am not interested in leveraging the existing networks, that might be a better way to go?
While this might feel like a great way to introduce people to features in an application, needing it is probably a sign that your UI isn't really working. In my experience learning a UI is a chore, and people hate trying to do it. If the interface is well organised, uncluttered, and laid out in a logic manner that doesn't hide things there's no need to have an intro.

> Coding is one piece of computational literacy

Literacy is the wrong word to use here. It doesn't work to compare English literacy with this sort of thing.

English literacy in school is gained by a lot of practice. Writing, even if it's texting friends, is something you do daily and throughout the day. The written language is in the same language (though there is some transformation involved in turning words in the brain to symbols on paper) in which you think and speak.

Doing something like computer programming is far different. You won't get daily practice just by going through the norms of life. Even pushing yourself to getting daily practice won't happen if you don't have something on your plate which is interesting. People are lazy by default and just opening an editor can be too much effort. I procrastinate bad enough on paid projects, let alone things nobody is expecting me to do.

Just because people can read, doesn't mean they pick up books to better themselves. People would much rather be spoon-fed entertainment through TV.

I don't see the point of learning to code beyond having some familiarity with it. For this to be a useful skill you have to put a huge effort into keeping up with it. Learning a different language is a huge barrier (not difficult, but for surpasses the point of which most people are willing to go.)

Jobs aren't easy to land. There is no equivalent to manufacturing in tech which can lead to an army of workers being employed. The tech rabbit hole grows deeper each day as we add more tools and specialty areas in which we need to be familiar with. Areas such as wrangling data has a daunting list of pre-reqs and I imagine this will be a trend moving forward (programming paired with knowledge of the domain you are building software for.)o

The sad fact is that technical knowledge doesn't take down the issues which data shows to be a problem with people in ghettos.

People who live in a ghetto have a hard time moving. A life of poverty creates huge issues which people who don't live in poverty don't understand. It's called grinding poverty for a reason. The grinding is going on in your head and that will drive you mad. For a long list of reasons, jumping past the most bottom rung of the employment latter is something few people in this situation will ever be able to do. A well paid programming job isn't a bottom rung job.

Well paid development jobs are well paid because they are hard to get and hard to employ for. If it were easy, then they wouldn't be well paid. Teaching people in the ghetto how to write code isn't going to help them get these jobs and it isn't going to help employers in hiring.

Freelancing and the gig economy is even worse. You can make far more money going solo by starting your own shop than by traditional employment. But the same ratios work here as in the rest of the economy. You get 1% (or less) who can figure out the game and thrive while everyone else just scrapes by.
NY Judge Rules in Favor of Apple in Government Request for iPhone Data
I find it amusing that you spend so much time commenting on every Ethereum post on hacker news. For someone who is so dismissive of Ethereum as a technology, you sure spend a lot of time criticizing it.

But more directly to you post: forking an altcoin would be a terrible idea for this person's usecase. Do so not only requires more work (creating and deploying clients) but also is completely insecure as such an altcoin would have no mining power behind it.

Creating a token on an existing blockchain, like Ethereum, would be a much better idea since the clients would already exist and the network would be much more secure. Moreover tokens on the Ethereum blockchain are light-client friendly and have access to smart-contract functinality.

> That drives me nuts that cars are totally unpredictable at 4 way stops. These people get to a 4 way stop and frantically wave everyone else through I presume because they don't know who has the right of way.

There's all kinds of legitimate reasons you might be uncertain about who actually has right of way (and, even more so, have doubts about whether other drivers perceive the situation the same way, and agree with your perception of who has right of way.)

Recommender system algorithms typically personalize search results based on similarities to items recently watched, purchased or simply added to a shopping basket. More advanced recommenders suggest based on past history (well YouTube seems to). I don't find personalization by similarity offensive. If I watched a Netflix movie starring Sidney Poitier, I'd expect recommendations to view movies from top Black actors of all time. I see this as ranking on similarity not on racial bias. http://www.imdb.com/list/ls051979184/

It's good that you stopped, but it would be even better to take the nearest exit and wait it out there, because if you are stopped on the side of the road in poor visibility conditions, someone might not see you and before it's too late might hit you if they aren't exactly in the lane, which can happen during poor visibility.

Well if you don't want to be connected to the Ethereum blockchain then you probably should just use a webserver. The advantage of using a blockchain like Ethereum is that it is very secure and very reliable compared to a webserver - also it is perhaps less work maintaining a DAO than a webserver.

So if you want to issue tokens for your hackspace, it would be nice if they existed on a public blockchain so that users could trade then and see their balance at any time - no need to worry about server uptime or vulnerabilities.

> Land value tax would replace other taxes such as income tax.

Considering 30% of US land is owned by federal government (and there's more by states and municipalities), how would this replace the income taxes? Federal budget is comprised of 46% personal income taxes and 13% federal income taxes, so roughly two-thirds of it would have to be replaced by land value tax.

> The larger the city, the higher is the likelihood of public spaces having a variety of homeless encampments, broken glass, needles and plain old feces.

The larger the city, the higher is the likelihood of accessible but nevertheless private property having those same things; though in either case its likely to be restricted to particular parts of the city, and those are likely to be the ones with lower property values (this reduced property value is both a cause and effect of the condition, its a positive feedback loop.)

The larger the city, also the more likely public -- and accessible private -- spaces are to be fairly pristine enclaves. These will usually be found in substantially different parts of the city than the nasty bits.

Those companies are definitely on the bleeding edge of remote work culture, but there seem to be many others who would hire someone remote if it were the right fit (my company for example).

Then again, maybe it's because I'm not really looking, and I'm being contacted by those who are just grasping at straws at that point.

> AWA allows courts to order anything so long as neither the Constitution nor laws passed by Congress explicitly forbid it.

And that interpretation the judge considers absurd:

"the government's construction of the AWA produces absurd results in application. If, for example the President sent to Congress a bill explicitly authorizing a court to issue the kind of order the government seeks here, and if every single member of the House and Senate were to vote against the enactment of such a law citing the kinds of data security and personal privacy concerns that Apple now embraces, the government would nevertheless describe the order sought here as permissible because Congress had merely rejected the bill – however emphatically, and however clear its reasons for doing so – rather than affirmatively passing legislation to prohibit the executive branch's proposal. Yet in such circumstances, it would be absurd to posit that the authority the government sought was anything other than obnoxious to the law."

And there's the related law in which Congress explicitly didn't oblige the companies: CALEA.

> it's easy to speculate with empty plots of land.

It's easy once you pony up the cash (land loans are generally in 70-75% range, 80% is an exception, so one needs to have the 25-30%), have a credit history that's good enough for the bank to approve the other 70-75%, willing to take a hit on the property tax (~1% annual), and will generally be okay and have other sources of income if the market were to cool down or take a dive.
