>> It's a problem that the feature is called "autopilot,"…

> Why is that a problem?

The US is not in the business of allowing companies to sell products that pose a safety hazard to users or people around them.

Tesla's version of autopilot is a new feature that government agencies take pretty seriously. NTSB is now investigating the Florida crash.

There are several Youtube videos of people abusing the tech. Other drivers do not want those people driving around them. To get people to use the system safely, the government can (a) ask police to check that people are paying attention while driving, or (b) require stricter hardware controls such as hands must be on the wheel. (a) is impractical

> Cars without Autopilot (i.e. every car ever manufactured in the past 100 years) also do not enforce that the driver must hold the steering wheel. I don't see anyone complaining about that.

Other car systems are irrelevant. This is new tech that had to be approved for use in the US. It was approved last October.
For the EU to work, the countries need to function more as states. Maybe this is just the hard road for the EU to get to something resembling the states, or it will fall apart as a failed experiment.

The problem with your suggestion is information. The difference in quality is not in any way made available to the consumer. Terms people believe to indicate quality mean basically nothing, as indicated in this article. These cheap products, which are often the only choice, are intentionally advertised as the higher-quality product. So, no, it is not a matter of Americans having more options. They're being openly deceived, while their regulatory agencies are intentionally dismantled.
1. Your article is from the Linus Pauling Institute, which, as has been noted upthread, is the biggest pusher of the high-dose vitamin C myth, which has been pretty much debunked by now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Pauling#Medical_research...

2. One of the whole arguments against supplements (which is what we're talking about here, not the quantities found in an every-day diet) is that they tend to mega-dose. But not "mega-dose" in some scary, doping type way. The vast majority of bottles of supplements list RDA values of 200%-1000%, as if that's a good thing.

3. The studies that show cancer link do so with double-blind, placebo-controlled studies using normal, grocery-store supplement levels of antioxidants. e.g. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199404143301501, http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1104493

4. When you look at reviews that are not pushed by the Linus Pauling Institute, you get quotes like

> A recent review of the last 20 years of literature on the subject, presented at the American Association for Cancer Research 2015 meeting, found an overall increased risk of cancer among vitamin users.

> Unless they are being payed by the government, they are obviously creating value for someone (their customers).

This is only true provided that a free and fair market exists.

Large corporations are often able to exact monopoly rents through a combination of outright monopolization of key resources or capital, favorable / gameable regulations, and by acquiring competition or substitutes, just to name a few strategies.

This means that you and/or your employer might not be adding value at all, but could actually be destroying value, just like any other sufficiently-ineffective bureaucracy.
With firebase you can just write a front-end single page app and never think about servers or anything like that. It takes seconds to start using and very little knowledge about how it works.

Yeah but Stripe just asked me for my bank account number and last 4 digits of my social.

There was no background check and having to send over copies of various bills, statements, license, etc..

I felt like Stripe requested the least amount of info to legally accept payments where as Braintree requested a million things to build up some type of profile that they'll benefit from later.

You know, it's like the guy who sends you to a form where you need to fill out 4 pages of crap when in reality all he needs is your name to perform the service you're requesting.

> This is because the kernel suffers from some lock contention when accessing the table containing the socket descriptors.

This would indicate the problem is with packet delivery to application. From my experience even packet delivery to "filter" iptables chain is "slow".

But let's assume you are right, can you elaborate? Do you think SO_REUSEPORT on TCP sockets can solve the contention of accept()?

https://lwn.net/Articles/542629/

There are some initiatives improve SO_REUSEPORT CPU affinity, hopefully making it even faster.

Update: I misread. Ok, so "table containing the sockets", but this is just a large hash table, nothing too fancy... aRFS for greater locality?

> american beer

Is superior to almost all other beer, aside from a few outliers, such as the stuff the Trappist monks produce. It's all subjective though, because what you (general you) think tastes good, tastes like watered down swill to my taste buds, or just nasty (Czech beer for instance).

Our cheeses are rather good too, though not the pre-packed brand name stuff.

Really, the thing is, the US is huge, and there are a lot of mom and pop, or small time businesses that are local or regional. People come visit here, go to a chain store, and think that Kraft is the only cheese we sell, or see Budweiser and think that's the only swill we make. No, craft beers here blow all of your brand name beers away, hands down. (all IMO, of course)
It is not unacceptable to ask for updated payment details every so often, so users don't generally have issues with this and it saves you from having to store the actual card details. You just have to store the token as others pointed out.

Also, if you do integrate multiple providers early on, you can break users up over them so that again your risk is minimized. This does come with some accounting pain, but it mitigates some risk so it is worth it. So essentially if you had to move away from one vendor it isn't your entire customer base all at once.

> It seems like you are much smarter than the rest of us.

I'm not smarter than the rest of us. I just happen to be a researcher in the field of railway engineering, specifically in the design of high and very high speed tracks for conventional high-speed rail.

> Would you please tell us plebs what the fatal flaw is?

The main issue with very high speed rail is the cost required to build and maintain infrastructure that must meet such precise tolerances to keep the transportation system safe and reliable and the track usable for human transportation. Technology is still far away from providing a solution for speeds below 400km/h, and the solutions that are currently available are simply cost-prohibitive.

The problems associated with this project are further compounded by the uncertainty of the whole vehicle solution.

Then there are the physics problem. Just for a brief glimpse on the true nature of the problem, in moderately stiff soils a vehicle traveling above 700km/h triggers a response from the soil that is much like the sonic boom triggered by supersonic planes, but with Raileigh waves. This phenomena is already a major problem in some railway lines operating at lower speeds (in Sweden, for example, where a high-speed track crosses an unusually soft soil), and manifests itself in vibrations that are measured in centimeters. Currently, the only available solution to this problem is essentially reducing the traveling speed on regions where the soil stiffness is low. Yet, in hyperloop's case these issues aren't rare: they are the norm.

Adding to the problem, speeds above 700km/h mean that the vehicle clears a span of around 200m in 1 second, which means that even with the vehicle's load the entire section must have an elevation delta in the milimeter range just to limit the vertical acceleration alone. This level of precision is unheard of in civil and railway engineering, and is something that is very expensive to pull off. Now, consider this issue while adding to the mix issues such as natural changes in the region's relief. These levels of precision require a straighter line with lower inclinations, accompanied with larger turn radii. This means bridges and tunnels for hundreds (if not thousands) of kilometers.

Meanwhile, even high-speed railway has serious feasibility problems, to the point where only a hand-full of high-speed railway lines manage to turn a profit ( Paris-Lion for example).

Meanwhile, in the real world the hyperloop hype competes with air travel, which doesn't require trillion-dollar infrastructure construction and maintenance costs, is very flexible, and is far cheaper to operate.

The investment in high-speed railway lines for travel speeds between 300 and 350km/h only rarely makes sense. That's the main reason why today only a few operators have spent money on that sort of infrastructure, and the vast majority of those operators did only so for political and propaganda reasons. Increasing the infrastructure bill a few orders of magnitude to get the exact same thing that are offered today by conventional rail and air travel is simply unheard of.
'"only people who have done something wrong would care about privacy" is a frequently used truism which is actually quite false.'

I agree with this. Strongly.

However, there are two important counterpoints here that don't apply in normal circumstances:

1. They were actively involved in litigation, which means normal information retention procedures were already out the window (or should have been). E.g. you can certainly do things like routinely delete business emails older than some specified age, but if you know those emails contain subject matter that is pertinent to active litigation you likely should not.

2. The encryption/destruction that occurred here weren't a "normal course of business" thing, but a response to the litigation. That gives a strong impression that it was willful and intended to evade laws and rules related to discovery.

Interesting. I was trying to do something like:

If the game is targeting young kids, it's missing out on its primary audience. For one thing, young kids often do not have cellphones of their own. But for another, I was recently at a mall in a fairly major city, and I did not see one person under 18 playing, but near every Pokestop, and every lower spawn rate Pokemon, I found dozens of people. Pokemon games have had somewhat adult humor and themes for years, though the TV show is undoubtedly meant for a younger audience. Given that most of the people who really wanted this game are people who grew up on Pokemon and are now adults, not at least providing the option to have social interaction feels a bit wrong. It could be abused, sure, but I think throwing the necessary resources at keeping it from being abused, and punishing abusers would be worth keeping the game relevant to its current primary consumer.
Yes, I know that Solomonoff induction is completely impractical for real life machine learning. My point was that if you can survive in the simulation to the point where you see either the 0 or the 1, we don't have any way even in theory (let alone in practice) to guess the probabilities of seeing a 0 or 1, unless you use some sort of learning algorithm. You can use any learning algorithm for this; it doesn't have to be Solomonoff induction.
I agree, and it's called red tape. UBI won't fix that.

Perhaps instead of just disagreeing and then intimating that I don't know what I'm talking about, you could give a counter-argument.
At the point where you can't really talk to people anymore because your window is just flooded with spam, no. It may be easier for Nianic, but not for the players.

The US is closing in on "Full Employment", if by Full Employment, you mean:

January 2008 Labor Participation Rate: 66.2%
July 2016 Labor Participation Rate: 62.7%

62.7% participation means 94 Million Americans are not working. (Source: http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/labor-force-...)

Full Employment only calculates people who are actively looking for work; anyone else is not part of that calculation.

To make an easier example, if 20 people are in a room, and 9 say "I'm employed", 1 says "I'm looking for work", and the other 10 say "I've been out of work for so long I'm not even looking), then that means:

90% employment (10% unemployment rate); but the labor force participation rate is only 50%.

Add another 5 people people to the mix (people that recently turned 18), and suddenly you have full employment, even if you have 10 of those 25 not looking for work or unable to work.

So to say "The US has an OK recovery and is closing in on Full employment" is an empty saying because you can have statistical full employment and have half of the population not holding a job.

Capacity is a problem, but not a significant one. The problem is the cost to build, maintain and operate the infrastructure required to comply with the speed requirements, the fact that most of the technology doesn't exist, that the physics issues of a vehicle interacting with a foundation medium at very high speeds are far from being tackled (commonly referred to as trans-rayleigh trains), and that even the most basic issues of the propaganda talking points are yet to be tackled by the project.

Hyperloop reminds me of the Simpson's monorail episode in many ways.
I haven't checked but I kinda doubt it... and I kinda hope not - the windows console API is so much nicer than the unix terminal system it would be a pity to make it an ugly hybrid.

Of course, you can run a terminal emulator inside the windows console and handle those sequences too! If I had to guess, I'd say that's what Microsoft would have implemented.
I personally would recommend Paymentwall, as it is a more international and complete solution.

I have tried multiple payment processors, but no one has such a wide coverage. In addition to card processing, Paymentwall allows you to accept payments made with bank transfers, prepaid cards, mobile payments, and different ewallets.

I never had any issues with expanding to new markets, and am currently processing payments from the United States, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Middle East.

The API integration was straightforward and simple, and gave me access to all of their available options at the same time.

So far it is the best payment processor for international payments I have found.

And some people have an allergy to water. I think GP meant "harmless" as referring to general population. There are always people who are allergic or otherwise harmed by things that are harmless to the 99.99% of humanity. Additional labeling might be justified if their number grows beyond a rounding error. And that still doesn't change the fact that unless you're the confirmed rare case for which X is harmful, you have no reason to fear it or to believe (and spread) misconceptions about it.

My family raises grass-fed beef and sadly, this article is spot-on when it comes to the lack of consistency with that product.

We know of farmers who go to cattle auctions and buy the cheapest steers they can find -- often sick and/or emaciated ones coming from farms in financial distress -- then fatten them up on grain while giving them pasture to forage, and sell it as grass-fed at farmer's markets. Just install a pretty girl in a tank top and a Realtree baseball cap at your booth and it all goes off without a hitch.

A good rule of thumb is that 1 acre of grass supports 1 head of herd. When you go to the farmer's market, ask the people selling you beef what their herd size is and how many acres they have under pasture. They should know these numbers cold. They should be ready to talk your ear off about how much of a pain in the ass haying is. They should know how calving is going and how many calves they've lost this year.

It is very possible, easy in fact, to raise animals (or vegetables) in toxic conditions and turn around and sell into farmers' markets. If you want clean food the answer is simple; buy into CSAs with farms run by people you trust. They should be willing to let you come to the farm, walk around, ask questions. Many of the best farms are not certified organic because they smartly use stuff like potash that is cheaper, makes better vegetables, and ecologically way better than organic equivalents when used in the right amounts.

I find it interesting that much of the discussion on this thread has centered on enforced standards. There has never been good enforcement of governmentally-sanctioned standards pertaining to high quality farm produce in the US. Certain private organizations are OK but the people administering them tend to be assholes so that results in a lot of farms (including ours) doing things the right way and selling to people who trust us, without getting formal certification.
