@verroq is correct though, but that is a different subject than the one of the article.

(Infectious) diseases generally spread more easily in higher population density. That's basic epidemiology, more contacts = opportunities, but it's of course more complicated than one single statement, disease spread models need a lot more variables than just population density to make useful predictions.

what are they going to do between then and now to get older vehicles out of service? are there emissions tests in Norway? Do they have a cut off date, as in the car is beyond a certain age it is not tested? Do they treat trucks and such the same?

I think its an interesting idea and it might work depending on how fast fuel cell and battery technology advances. I have never been a believer of the all battery solution as it imposes weight issues and as power levels increase charging issues arise. (damned if you do damned if you don't scenario)

I don't want to know a trick. My point was that FB has unwittingly added a "feature" that helps me do something I want, which is minimize FB usage. Think of say, HN's noprocrast option. It would be crazy for FB to introduce such a thing, but that's what they've done for me here! No way am I going to try to disable it!
Well I usually put my phone to silent during class and especially presentations. The person you commented on mentioned there is no silent mode. Of course you could turn the phone off entirely, but then it takes longer to turn on, and you have to unlock the SIM card again... quite a hassle just to make facebook's apps shut up.

I don't know though, I've never used Facebook Messenger.

5 Realities That Frustrate All New Business Founders
If you limit yourself to either a popular Linux distro or one of two Unixes/Unix-likes, then bash can be available out of the box. Just as C is not C++, shell is not bash, so a shell script is what runs on (d)ash, busybox, toybox, ksh, bash, zsh, etc., without modifications. If it requires bash or zsh, then it's not a shell script but a bash/zsh/fish script. To name a popular non-Linux OS, take a fresh FreeBSD or OpenBSD install. No bash to be found, unless installed via ports and rightfully so. That said, I use bash myself all the time as an interactive shell but /bin/sh is not bash. sh (including bash and zsh) are terribly hard to write correct and resilient scripts in, and even rc is much saner to script in.
> It's not barbarism when it's consenting adults.

Do you think this is OK?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumfights

The barbarism in bull fighting and bear baiting lies not in the animal's absence of consent. Animals don't consent to be eaten, but eating animals is [EDIT] not generally considered barbaric. What makes boxing and bull fighting and bear baiting barbaric is the fact that the object of the game is to inflict pain on another living being. Many other sports have pain as a consequence (football, rugby), but in boxing the goal is to inflict pain. The more pain the better. The ideal outcome is to render your opponent unconscious. That, IMHO, is barbaric.

Money and social constraints also significantly distort the matter of consent. Muhammed Ali was a black man living in an age of discrimination. His professional prospects were limited more by the color of his skin than by the content of his character. I think he was capable of a lot more than bashing people's skulls in. But because society places so much value on bashing people's skulls in, we will never know.
If you feel you are being taken advantage of, negotiate a better salary, or go somewhere else they will pay you what you believe you are worth.

Assuming you're at a job where you're being compensated in line with your abilities, you can either choose to view what you do as burdensome labor, or as a fun challenge. The only difference between these two views is that one will make you depressed, and the other will make you happy. How do you want to feel?

Universal Basic Storage
1986: "Recent studies have shown that the core human need for annual digital storage is about 1.5 megabytes, which costs about $600. We propose to implement a policy of Universal Basic Storage so that by the year 2016, everyone on the planet will have their $600 bill for 1.5 MB of storage completely paid for."

As brilliant venture guys you are constantly challenging the assumptions of startups. Have you ever done the same for your assumptions about economics and history?

---------
An alternate view based on non-mainstream assumptions:

The only way to solve the human needs that “income” is intended to overcome is to let non-dislocated markets drive down the cost of producing those goods and services to trivial levels.

Trying to innovate around Universal Basic Income is like being in cold-war Russia and trying to innovate a better way to wait in line for bread. It’s a local maximum that doesn’t need to exist.

Why try to push that rock down the hill against the forces pushing back up against it rather than identifying and removing the countering forces and letting the rock roll down on its own?
---------

Yes, there are easy mainstream objections to all of the above. The point is to question the assumptions behind those easy mainstream objections. What if those assumptions are wrong?

Even supposing the unlikely event that 9/9 did get hypothermia before other symptoms, you are still saying that they all became simultaneously delirious to the point that not even one of them was found dead in a position that indicated some kind of normal reaction one would expect from an experienced person (I'm not saying a life-saving reaction - we know no one survived, but anything remotely bordering on rational)..
>Golden age fallacy?

I take offense to the idea of the "golden age fallacy".

Let's constrain fallacies to actual logical mistakes.

Some things actually have had a golden age -- e.g. for bebop it can be fairly accurately be told to be certain decades, and it's not wrong to point to that to say that things are not the same anymore.

(And even if individual outliers might produce an X equivalent to a "golden era of X" artifact, statistically it would still be true to say that now it's not like the golden era of X, if less such works are produced in total and even less consumed and appreciated -- e.g. if I make a great "Miami Bass" tune, it wont mean that the late eights weren't the "golden age" of Miami Bass).

In fact the golden age is so much not a fallacy, that is a valid historical construct (e.g. for Roman democracy the golden age was so and so centuries -- no ifs and buts about it).

There are a lot of small honor ceremonies, for example he lighted the olympic torch in Atlanta 1996. The problem is that is difficult to coordinate that all the major newspaper put an article about him in the front page. (Perhaps for some anniversary, like the x0th anniversary of the word championship? And what happens if he lives 10 more years?)

Also, there is some social norms that prevent criticism at the obituaries so they are more hagiographic than usual articles.
Certainly they provide a service. I guess they are the 'Hotel' of office space rentals and I'm thinking there might a huge market for the 'Motel' version at a lower price point. I bought a house to have an office because having that office rent cost makes a lot of projects I want to do not viable.
In theory it is great when there are many choices. In practice, companies focus - and it is better when they have a single working product than a few almost-working products.

I don't want to say that everything FB does is fine - but this particular product is OK. Looking other way - would I like to get a working standalone product being integrated in FB, so that I cannot use it without viewing wall. Hell no!

On mobile I use FB app anyway - so maybe it is why I don't feel the pain. (And installed Messenger app quite some time ago.)

Yes, great series (available on Netflix in the US). The series starts with Norway ending oil and gas production to combat global warming, which the rest of Europe and the world isn't too happy with.

Wouldn't it be better if they were just automatically dimmer at night? Wouldn't you still prefer a real dimmer switch, even if it moves automatically on a schedule? I can't see wanting to pull out a phone (which I may not even have with me at night) to dim the lights while my hands are wet. I don't even have a smartphone, and my flatmate broke hers irreparably the other day and has been without while waiting for a replacement.

I really don't see any reason why people should be expected to control devices which are right in front of them with something in their pocket.

There's a reason we still carry cash: when the lights go out, and the ink on the credit card recorder runs dry, you can still pay for things. People who do not carry cash deserve a nomination for the Darwin Award.
Not so sure about that. You also have to "have it" in you in some deeper subconscious way, not just rationalize what you should say.

The same way a shy person can read about the actual best ways to approach a romantic interest, but not be able to convey it realistically enough.

Why would this be a problem for an AI? Well, if we imagine a powerful thinking AI, I'd also attribute it with having emotions, subconscious (e.g. hidden weights in its neural network brain, etc), so this would also apply to it -- can't see why it would have to be a total "sociopath" (which for humans comes from some kind of genetic or environmental accident).

Besides, while you can "contemplate about every sentence and somehow compress that into 1 second", actual "trial and error" with humans cannot be compressed.
Not really off-topic, since the motivation of the evil Europeans in that show was to force Norway to continue to produce oil after Norwegians decided they no longer needed it.

Comparing C and Makefiles and `npm init` just doesn't make any sense to me. For something in style of the former (i.e. no real dependency management) you have the ClojureScript Quick Start - download a JAR & make a build script, done. For the later I just don't see how `npm init` is any easier / different than `lein new mies easy`? And doing anything serious with Node requires reading up on a far more dizzying array of choices than the Clojure(Script) ecosystem offers.

I'm happy to hear why you believe otherwise.
Sorry about that, I forgot to fix the site for Firefox. I will get it fixed soon. I am kind of a CSS noob, so I'll have to ask for help from someone.
Yep, as long as we develop extensions and tools for platforms with ToS like that, we are to be blamed. It reminds me of most developers' blissful ignorance of CLAs and merrily pushing patches to projects where they hand over copyright ownership to the likes of Google, Ubuntu, Microsoft, etc., while probably not being aware that their code can be relicensed into anything without their future consent.

>People view old Egyptian culture as one homogeneous whole when in fact there were major tech changes over the millennia.

I think viewing them as homogenous has basis in the fact that their religion, belief systems, social structures remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years.

Ofcourse they built better boats, better tools, better tombs, better textiles, better mummifications techniques; but underlying philosophy and religion was virtually unchanged from old dynasty to Cleopatra.

Grocery stores are some of the lowest margin businesses in the US (on the order of 3%). Payroll is a pretty large expense, so it's not as if Walmart can just willy-nilly double salaries because the Waltons are extremely wealthy.

Replace "intellectual assets" with "computing assets" and you're probably right.

I want to expand on your point about privacy by pointing out that arrests are often entirely up to police discretion. A suspended license could result in a warning, a ticket, or an arrest; ultimately, it comes down to whether an officer is in a good mood when he stops me or whether he likes my face. Allowing surveillance dragnets just makes it easier for law enforcement to have something to charge you with if they don't like you.
