So my intuition about your thought experiment is that said high performing individual would probably waste away quite quickly by the onset of severe depression leading to high incidence of drink, drug abuse, and possibly suicide. I don't think their savings account would be very high priority.
There's 'cards in columns' and then there's cards with images, owners, checklists and due dates on them.

If you go back to the submission where it was just the "X is no longer working with Y" story, then a good portion of the commenters on that story felt that it wasn't a good story for HN and if there was a real story to share it would be in follow up posts.

I can't imagine what a story on this topic would look like for everyone to agree it belonged on HN.

Maybe that means that none of them do, but I'm not sure that conclusion is right. I think it is best to generally prefer sunlight to silence, even when the sunlight doesn't produce as much value as we'd like to see.
Should Universities Be Responsive to Student Demands?
This is actually an insightful question.

The practical answer is no. There is an unimaginable amount of possible 3:30 minute vidoes—far more than the number of possible 4kb or even 40kb files.

To be fair, most of those possible vidoes are just noise. We don't have to be able to compress those because people don't care if one video of noise is different from another. We also don't have to reconstruct the video perfectly: as long as it looks more or less the same, the audience is happy. (This is called "lossy compression".)

But even with these caveats, there is no realistic method for compressing realistic 3:30 minute videos that well on a computer. We likely can't do all that much more than current compression algorithms without a different set of tradeoffs. (Like being better at some videos but worse at others.)

That said, a big part of how compression works is by relying on information already present when decompressing. This demo relies on having a particular kind of chip with certain capabilities (ie a CPU and a GPU) and presumably some standard library functions... etc.

How well could we "compress" videos if we had more information available when decompressing? Here's a fun thought experiment: what if we had a model of a human mind? We could then feed in a pretty sparse description and have the model fill in the details in a natural intuitive way. It would be very lossy, but the results would be compelling.

And you know what? That's a decent mental model of how speech works! If you just look at information content, spoken words are not very dense. But if I describe a scene you can imagine it almost as if you're seeing a video. This works because we both have the same sort of brain as well as shared experiences and intentions.

You can think of speech as incredibly effective—but also rather lossy—compression.
SUVs and crossovers are becoming more popular by the day, so this might be more of a problem than people imagine. I wonder if there is a way to discourage cars with high ground clearance--a rollover hazard, perhaps?
> someone somewhere has some sort of technical data unlikely to be vulnerable to human memory/eyewitness accounts related to the crash.

I can agree with this. Having this information recorded should be a standard feature for cars of this price-range.

However, the information should be in the customer's control (which should also be fairly passed onto Tesla through a subpoena if necessary).

Its a basic tenant of "ownership". If you don't have primary control of the data, you really don't own it.

> Anything else just feels like NIMBY entitlement.

I disagree. I also think there is a sense that our urban/suburban planning should serve more that just the interests of motorists, and should support activities other than just driving to/from work.

My wife and I used to drive 45 minutes just to park on the outside of a nice residential neighborhood so we could take a walk. Now we can get to family, friends, parks, businesses, etc; just by walking.

Traffic congestion for commuters is a problem, but that doesn't mean that all streets should be maximally employed to reduce that congestion.
In an environment like ours where the split between genders is so drastic small bits of humor like this do less to make people laugh and more to help people who already feel excluded feel even more excluded.
Yeah, me too. I'm not a Waze user, but I've lived in my area long enough to be familiar with a lot of the neighborhood roads. My personal solution is to only take side streets when the traffic on them is light enough that I'm not making it worse, and to be extra cautious as I do so. Not really a scalable solution though.
An extra 45k cars a day and you should rezone your house into a gas station. :)

Streets are kind of built for an expected load too right? I live on a dead end and have to assume my street would wear out faster than the neighborhood thoroughfare if it had an equal level of traffic.
And we thought leaf blowers and car alarms were bad enough. I really, really hope I don't have to listen to one of my neighbors firing up one of those things in his backyard, any time soon. And I'd even more hate to be... a "resident" of his goldfish pond.
If you include a very effective collision avoidance system, then I'm in.

I'd use it for frickin' everything. Commuting would be so nice without having to sit in traffic.

Eastern Massachusetts rush hours are brutal. Just zoom straight to your destination using an "as the crow flies" route, and rely on the auto-pilot and collision avoidance to take care of the actual steering while you check your email.

20 miles in 12 minutes. Sweet.

I would just be slightly concerned about collisions with birds.

By the way, if fuel is unlimited, then we could have flying restaurants. They'd have names like High Altitude Café, Cloud Starbucks, etc.

Your first link is about credit card debt, and your second link is about a family with no credit. You can't link the two. What point are you trying to make? You said this:

Maybe this goes without saying, but the average family in North America lives well above their means. Rent to own furniture, a leased lexus for the wife and ginormous pickup truck for the office job husband, dinner and drinks out multiple times per week etc.

But none of your links actually back that up. If we're trading personal anecdotes, fine, but otherwise you're caricaturing the average family as struggling because of (I would guess based on your implication) stupidity and greed. This doesn't seem to match my experience of the "average" family, but it is common dog whistle language.

I recently spent several hours trying to implement BFD...only to find out it's broken on CCR, known to be broken, and won't be fixed any time soon [1]

But to be fair, I've run across similar things in Cisco land. Spend hours trying to get something to work, when I finally run across an single line somewhere on their site that says what I'm trying to do doesn't work with CEF and I have to disable CEF if I want it to work. Which cuts my throughput by 10x.

I am. But I interpreted his comment differently from the way you did.

The article's thesis, with which I partially I agree, is that poverty is persisted, at least in part, by a poverty-induced inability to consider one's long-term welfare.

jimrandomh's comment seems (to me) to be saying that the poor are not making bad decisions, but instead behaving in an objectively logical/near-optimal way given how little money they have. See the beginning of his comment:

> This article tries to shift perception from "poor people make bad decisions because they're intrinsically dumb" to "poor people make bad decisions because poverty makes them dumb." But this is also wrong; the decisions poor people make are, for the most part, sensible decisions given the circumstances they're in.

>Yes, it does cost more, due to using electricity. However solar is getting cheaper.

Its kind of funny to talk about how solar will be cutting the costs when solar is exactly what the competition is.

Sun -> plant

Sun -> Solar Panel -> Light bulbs -> plant.
Thing is, it's not an 'order of magnitude' different in price... Three $2500 CCRs vs, what? I know somebody who recently bought a whole Juniper MX960 for around $10,000. For a serious ISP that is a big jump in capability and resiliency.

If looking at used/refurb core routing platforms these days, anything that is not capable of being upgraded to a reasonable density of 100GbE is selling for very affordable prices now. Even systems that are fully modular and redundant and capable of more than 60 10GbE interfaces in one chassis, such as the MX480 or MX960. Or an ASR9006/ASR9010 with first generation linecards.

The data is a bit skewed, because the biggest flow is in the 19th century, but it shows the borders of the Federal Republic of Germany (1949) not the German Confederation (1815), which included Austria (which itself was much bigger, including Hungary etc.) and Prussia (which was basically where Poland is today).

There really was no "Germany" back then, just German speaking states, which fought wars against each other, had different religions and so on. The reason they united was basically because they hated Napoleon more than each other.
That sounds incredibly stupid. Can I just start a spamming operation where I "allege" people owe me money and hope they don't respond within 30 days?

In cases like this where it is word against word, I think it is important as an outsider to hedge your bet. Act as if the allegations are true and false at the same time.

Assuming they are true: make sure to create a safe space (virtually, in real live, and in discourse) for potential victims. Don't put the accused person on sensitive community functions. Take (this and further) accusations very seriously. If someone doesn't want to deal with him, don't push the matter and don't ask why. You want to avoid retraumatization of potential victims, and you want to create a climate where affected people can feel safe. You should give people raising these accusations the benefit of doubt, and resist the urge to dig for proof or to argue about what actually happened or not. Especially given how hard it is for victims to get recognition and justice by going through the "official" channels, i.e. court. (This is basically the idea that is discussed as "power of definition" among feminists in Germany; I'm not sure how it's referred to in other countries, a quick search didn't come up with much.)

Assuming they are false: It's rarer than most people think that accusations of sexual abuse are falsely raised, but it is still a possibility. Especially given that he is a exposed public figure and possible target for "character assassination". Any scenario could be possible, from personal revenge to a smear campaign by an intelligence agency. One should protect oneself from this possibility, whether it is real or not. Don't exclude him from your communities. Don't stop using his software, don't judge or punish him. Don't give him the punishment of shunning.

Basically you have to do an impossible balancing act. You don't want to perpetuate this patriarchal shit that lets men often get away with sexualized violence. But you also don't want whoever might be abusing this claim (agencies, personal enemies, ...) to win. So the only sane course is to be all about protection of victims, providing a safe space etc., but not punishing anybody.
You are ignoring conversion, storage, transport, LED, and LED -> plant losses.

Where's Pentagon in all this? I would think they'd be the first to find a practical use for it. Much faster than a paraglider, and much easier to deploy than a helicopter.

I can imagine a group of commandos crossing the enemy lines at 100mph to sabotage something or other, or a spy escaping back to the safety of his own side. At least there has to be a movie based on this. Like, a jet-troops vs. jet-troops fire-fight.

That's an interesting thought. I'm not sure how I'd handle that either. Like you said the pickup truck is the default answer. I will say in lieu of a truck, I have a hitch on one of my cars and a small flatbed trailer[0]. :/ Mine has boards on the sides and bottom of it so I can haul rock and dirt. But the thought of wheeling a treadmill around is for some reason kind of hilarious. I'd take it to the gas station though to meet someone and use a video to demonstrate it prior.

Worst case, I would probably have it in the garage and they can look at it there. Probably a risk you have to take to have someone cart off a big old treadmill.

One thing I would definitely do is probably sell it fairly cheap. Just to make sure it moves with the 1st person who is interested. Rather than get a bunch of time online and gazers coming over. People are also less likely to complain about something if they get a deal on it too so it's a win/win. Well other than the cash lost but I'd make that deal.

Not quite.

There is a traditional free right to roam, but it does not extend to gardens and areas next to houses. Outside of that, it is rather permissive.

Back on topic but still in Sweden: more or less all shortcuts in residential areas are closed, either by physical barriers, or more commonly by official signs forbidding pass-through traffic, and they are typically respected.

Yeah, remote access goes through their servers. You can still drive the car, you just can't use their smartphone app. I don't know why you'd expect anything else.

And yet, WRT your last paragraph, SUVs still sell, so there remains some kind of market for swiss-army-knife-cars.

usually its treated as a holding company, it can then buy your current assets at low cost. it could also be a management company that(optionally) manages that holding companies holdings and collects fees. you then use the income to invest in other countries so the income never comes back through your home country. you can work for your company for free, so any services you do for its clients, can pay directly to it.

its not overly complicated as long as you know and understand the rules in each stop along the way and its perfectly legal.
Minority Report style fancy transportation is totally unnecessary. All we need is an automatic congestion charge similar to Uber's surge pricing. Heck, such a system would work great for keeping traffic out of residential areas too.
Forget the breakdowns as an impediment to business. Most businesses have high startup costs just from taxes and fees alone. I'm trying to start a small hobby business and just getting the ball rolling I've forked over $500 in filing fees. I imagine it must be nigh on impossible if you are poor and want to start a small business. And I know people do it but they borrow heavily from friends and family.
That price is highly dependent on the illegality and subsequent scarcity. If we have two million pound farms in the city, the price is going to drop by a LOT.

As you point out, classifieds and listings services already exist; the distinguishing feature of MurderBay is that everything from the website name to the owners' public declarations of contempt for takedown requests is designed to encourage people to use the site to seek out assassins/murders and as a result the vast majority of people using the site are there to search for links to facilitate the commitment of murders. Sound familiar? (OK, much worse, fair enough) The same could not be said for Craigslist, which is why Craig Newmark has spent an awful lot less time in courtrooms and prison cells than the people behind a certain Swedish website despite his website probably having facilitated the commitment of crimes that hurt people a lot more than filesharing ever conceivably could.
The question was if MITM would be able to prevent automatic update notifications. Their solution doesn't solve this: it prevents attackers from changing version information, but doesn't prevent them from replaying previous version information.
This is not even in the least bit true. The credit report "debt clock" is static. Activity, acknowledgement, etc matters not.

I cut my teeth at an "ISP" that would order a business DSL line at a MDU/Apartment complex, run it through a Linksys router, then over the phone wiring using 2-wire "HomePNA" devices and charge each person $30/month for the service.

The routers locked up so much they had one of those plug-in timers [1] set to reboot the router each night during their 'daily maintenance period'. They wouldn't even dispatch someone to do it when they started getting calls.
