Incentives will shift and realign, but nuclear will still have some development. There's a reason it's used in submarines and aircraft carriers, and geothermal isn't going to solve that, even with vastly increased battery technology.
> Making the lane more narrow does not have to equal putting two lanes of opposing traffic closer together. We can make the dividing line(s) wider to compensate.

And now you're doing something different than the data and will plausibly get a different outcome. If the opposing traffic is not closer together then maybe people don't slow down as much or at all anymore. And you're pushing the cars closer to the pedestrians.

> To wit, this conversation revolves around residential neighborhoods, where cars frequently park on the street, where the speed limit is likely not 40MPH.

Yet that may nonetheless be the prevailing traffic speed, and the speed that emergency vehicles can reasonably travel when not impeded by "traffic calming" measures. That you didn't expect people to get the efficiency you're taking away from them doesn't mean you aren't taking it away. Moreover, fuel efficiency is a curve with an inflection point somewhere above 40MPH. That means 40 is better than 30, but it also means 35 is better than 25 and 30 is better than 20.

> Making the lanes narrow is meant to get people to follow the speed limits, I'd say at 30MPH or less.

Except that the speed limit is generally supposed to be set at the 85th percentile traffic speed (and is generally set ~10MPH below that for reasons of politics and revenue generation), so slowing down traffic will lead to a reduction in the speed limit.
> Politicians don't usually care much about what kind of world they're leaving for their own children, let alone random citizens of the far future.

Politicians probably care about this a lot much than they are given credit for; while plenty are actually short-sighted and narrowly selfish (just like plenty of non-politicians), no doubt a lot of the perception of that comes from people who disagree with them on what is best for the future portraying the politicians disagreement as disinterest. (This frequently happens when the disagreeing parties are not politicians, as well.)

To be fair, it's not just India that faces this problem. Italy, and to a lesser extent France, are kept back in economic development due to extremely long (civil) legal proceedings - in fact, Berlusconi and his crooks abused this multiple times to STFO of jail time.

In Germany, it's mostly the criminal justice system that suffers from massive case overload - it takes sometimes over a year to get the first trial in a simple pub brawl case or a small store theft - and that disconnect between infraction and punishment has been shown multiple times to result in more infractions (because thieves will think "ah, won't happen anything anyway").

I get why people want to claim India is a 3rd world country (and, for what it's worth, parts of India ARE, given e.g. sanitary conditions!), but one should not compare based on the efficiency of the legal system. Some might say that the USA could be considered a 3rd world country under this comparison, given that you can land in jail for civil debt, end up life-long in prison for small thefts (3 Strike Rule), end up on the chair for dealing drugs, ...

> The Jannissaries however were not primarily a means of inflicting terror or to promote conversion to islam.

Excuse me? "Not primarily to inflict terror"? The custom of mothers making their own children disabled with their own hands only to prevent them being taken away, their old memories destroyed, is not the result of the terror? The total number of people living there was much smaller then than today.

The non-muslim boys were regularly taken away from their families and converted to Islam. The forceful conversion existed, the pressure to non-muslims existed (and that was surely not the only one) exactly to push the non-muslims to finally convert, which actually succeeded among Albanians and in Bosnia.

And that explains the religious separation of that part of Europe today. There were no Muslims there before. Now millions.

Not to mention that the Ottomans very non-peacefully fought wars up until Vienna, which was under siege twice. Start with 1359 then look at the following pictures through the years here:

The giant lookup table is objectively not conscious. I mean it has no internal state even. That is why giant lookup tables are often used as examples of processes which appear conscious but aren't.

But what happens when you start compressing that lookup table to an algorithm which is much smaller and produces the same output? It will almost certainly gain a complicated internal state. As you make it smaller and smaller to get to a reasonable size, it gets more like an actual human brain.

It will no longer be a static program - it will have to "learn" from experience and data. That would save a lot of hardcoded rules.

Eventually you will have the smallest possible program that produces the same output exactly. And it will probably be a perfect simulation of a human brain (if that is what you are trying to imitate.) It will produce exactly the same output as a human, and run exactly the same internal algorithm as a human. And now, how on Earth can you say it's not conscious?

Jesus fucking nope. This is a good approach for some problems, and it may work for this team, for now, but I doubt that this is either sustainable or scalable.
B2B is generally quite a bit more expensive than B2C, and services are only worth what the market will bear. I would imagine that they did some sort of market research, and found that to be a competitive price. As for why it's a competitive price - well, it's what businesses are willing to pay at the moment.

Interesting discussion at the tail end of the document:

(a) We have all become very marker-prone, but shouldn't we nevertheless admit that, in the end, despite all we try to do, the most effective "marker" for any intruders will be a relatively limited amount of sickness and death caused by the radioactive waste? In other words, it is largely a self-correcting process if anyone intrudes without appropriate precautions, and it seems unlikely that intrusion on such buried waste would lead to large-scale disasters. An analysis of the likely number of deaths over 10,000 years due to inadvertent intrusion should be conducted. This cost should be weighted against that of the marker system.
How big is the mob? I don't think you want to do this 20 or more programmers (the more people you have, the more formalized communication structures you typically need).

I could imagine this working with four or five people, and I'd be worth the experiment, but I don't think I'd want to do it all the time.
I agree people confuse obscurity with "operational security".

Reducing your footprint, and keeping information disclosure to a minimum isn't obscurity.

On the more specific examples while port knocking is an acceptable security mechanism (so is geoblocking, and even whitelisting specific IP's only) it's again not obscurity, putting connections on random ports is and it can also be a very bad practice because obscurity often works both ways.

In a large organization even one with great documentation and knowledge management things will fall between the cracks, if we take their example to the then while the attacker might be slightly less likely to identify a non standard SSH port (because for some reason they assume that port scanning is expensive) it can also mean that your own security teams and tools can miss them just as easily.

When heartbleed came out for example people run it on the common SSL ports internally, pretty much all of it was patched rather quickly but from time to time you still find an instance of it and usually it's because some developer somewhere decided port 23216 is a good port for SSL.

The attackers are considerably more likely to perform allot of information gathering on their target, more so than internal teams, internal security tools often limit their tests to standard and specified ports because when the security team has a 4 hour window each month to turn their vuln scan a full TCP port scan is probably out of the question on a network with few 1000's of IP's and larger.

By adding unnecessary obscurity to your system you are effectively only increasing the likelihood of you missing something while the attacker is just as likely to find it as anything else.
Perhaps, but GM also has a worse reputation than Ford among buyers. Ford's reputation among the American brands is the best, while GM's is not that great, though Chrysler's is even worse.

If I want to buy a reliable, high-quality car that I know is going to last 10 years and not have the interior plastics all looking nasty and faded and falling apart after a mere half-decade, GM is one of the last brands I'd think of. No one thinks that Cadillacs are serious competition to real luxury cars like Mercedes.

I think Tesla would do much better partnering with a Japanese automaker. They know how to build high-quality cars in high volume, and they have great reputations too, which is important if you're trying to sell $100k cars.
Jews are an ethnicity first and foremost — you can't really compare it to being christian or muslim. You can choose to accept or refuse a religion, but you can't change your ethnicity (at least at a modern DNA therapy level).
Brilliant. This just reads like a conversation with Death in a Terry Pratchett novel.
IMO the above case is more of a symptom of the problem rather than what causes the problem itself. Someone who helps is implicated as guilty because being indifferent and lacking morals is expected behavior, while 'helping' is considered highly abnormal and therefore the action is suspect.

From personal experience I do not believe this is the real reason for why a family is left dying on the road. When I travel to certain countries in Asia I notice that there is a severe lack of morals and ethics. Heck in China, drivers back up over accident victims that they just hit to make sure the victim is dead so as to avoid a lifetime of hospital fees. I mean, this is murder done in the name to avoid paying a fee.

What you see here in India is part of this same lack of ethics and morals that pervade certain cultures. People are honestly capable of great evil.

What makes one culture more ethical than another country? I believe that the anthropological correlation lies in wealth and population. If a country is of high population and poor, then you will see more of this type of behavior.

High population cities that are wealthy like tokyo or singapore are not like this at all while in the rural areas of nepal I've seen a sherpa carry an injured european stranger on his back down a mountain to base camp.

Of course this is all anecdotal. There really needs to be a scientific study on ethics and culture. It would be a very touchy subject though as the results of the study will implicate some cultures as more 'evil' than others.
Here's a simple example:

Running sshd on port 22, seeing repeated authentication failures in the logs. conclusion: business as usual for sitting on the internet. signal to noise ratio: almost 0.

Running sshd on port $RANDOM, seeing ANY authentication failures in the logs. conclusion: someone is specifically targeting me or my network, I might want to pay some attention to this. signal to noise ratio: 1.

The best way to test a distributed system is to break it intentionally after you think you have sufficient monitoring to find all the problems. Then you'll know if you have sufficient monitoring.

And if you have an outage where you didn't have sufficient monitoring, then you add it afterwards. But at least by breaking it intentionally you can at least be watching.
> port knocking is clearly broken in multiple ways

What are those ways?
Kerala [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala] , a small southern state in India known for its high literacy rate in India [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Kerala] has a highly efficient emergency service on #108.[http://www.arogyakeralam.gov.in/index.php/special-initiaves/...]

I often hear news of this service being extremely efficient and the reports of bystanders not helping accident victims are rare from that state. This has to do something with the literacy rate as well as an efficient emergency service. Most of the cases of "no one helps you in India" cannot be generalized is my opinion.

I'm an agile coach and my clients won't stop talking about this.

Here's the deal, some 70%+ of developers are introverts. Mobbing can be great for fixing a bug or mentoring more than one person at a time but mobbing is not how you should expect your devs to work all day every day. This is probably not lost on fellow HN'ers but OMG the cargo culting amongst managers. Do not let them see this article.

Lastly, watch this time lapse video of a team mobbing and pay attention to the body language. Who is plugged in, who is checked out, who is talking the most? I think this says it all. https://youtu.be/p_pvslS4gEI

IANAL: Wouldn't any evidence gained from 'mental-health clinical records' be inadmissible anyway? Something about doctor-patient confidentiality?

Why is moving the SSH port Security by Obscurity? Its log cleaning by avoiding annoying portscans, nothing else..
There is NO Security gained by moving the port. If you think random portscans are a security risk to your SSH server you should seriously reconsider your SSH configuration.
While non-strict evaluation helps with forming cyclic structures in general, in this specific example it is not required. You just need a language that allows names to appear in their bindings, such as in C:

struct node { int x; struct node *next; } allOnesList = { 1, &allOnesList }, *allOnes = &allOnesList;

May this configure a security issue?
Hey no worries, your perspective (as a breathing human who's actually done this before, whereas I'm very much being a couch referee or whatever that phrase is) is really interesting.

I think it's a cool idea. I'd still worry about people taking over, coasting, checking out or otherwise not getting to express themselves, but realistically that's a constant concern anyway, regardless of whichever development structure you take.

But I'd try it. I'd be exhausted, frustrated and very much in need of a drink after the first day, but that says more about me than it does the approach :-)

No you can't tell by looking at their ID card or their accent unless the surname of that person clearly indicates the caste.

> Is it on your ID card?

EDIT: The only place where you ever need to fill your caste is in your application for ID card or while applying for an University. However, your caste is not printed on the ID card though you are provided a certificate for it (that you need to provide in case you want to avail any government benefits). You can see an example of Voter ID card here: http://3.imimg.com/data3/RA/DI/MY-513699/pvc-electrol-photo-...

> Is there anything stopping someone from moving to a different city and pretending to be a different (better?) caste?

That won't work. The issue is that no one wants to "leave" their caste. There is no better or worse caste these days. It was the case centuries ago where the Brahmin caste was considered superior to the rest (when Kshtariya Kings ruled India). That is no longer the case. In the ancient times, education was only restricted to upper castes. These days we have quotas (almost 50%) in education/jobs sector for lower castes.

The only place where caste has a major impact is in marriages and politics. If you love a person from a different caste and your in-laws are against your caste you'll have a tough time dealing with that situation. Unless your in-laws are total whackos (see news reports on honor killings) you should be able to convince them. Those who can't convince elope and get married.

When it comes to politics casteism is rampant. If you belong to a particular caste and your caste does not have enough representation in that constituency you are standing from you are bound to lose (irrespective of whether you are a good candidate or not). Each caste votes as a group and only vote for their own candidate. The reason for that is all castes in India want a slice of the pie. Some castes want higher quota in education while others want quota in private sector etc.

If you hear stories about how bad the caste system is in India take it with a pinch of salt. Most of it is politicking. There are however a few real cases of caste based violence that mostly go unreported by the mainstream media as the people involved in that violence do not have political patronage.

If you hear someone saying that they want the caste system to be abolished what they really mean is the modern caste system (of which I gave examples of) rather than the traditional caste system (that which existed centuries ago and of which you find a lot of articles/writings on the interwebs).
This seems fallacious, but I can't put my finger on how. Yes, there is currently a lack of "planet-altering intelligent species," but, as far as we can tell, there has always been a lack of planet-altering intelligent species. We don't have any evidence of a being with human-level capabilities than then died out.

To Be Continuous – Ep. #20, Is Bimodal IT BullshIT?
Thanks for your comment. The sentiment I recall is, for instance, related to a thief that's running away after having just stolen a purse and you have the ability to stop him. It was said in regards to big city living and making yourself part of the act in some manner, where you might get pulled into the police station to make a statement and spend hours on something you didn't want to be a part of. Again, I've never set foot in the country, so I can't say either way. Another smaller example might be someone is talking on their cell phone on the train, and thus a Japanese person wouldn't go up to the one yapping on the phone to tell them it's rude, per Japanese standards.
