Creator of Sequiturs here. Very happy to receive your feedback and answer questions!
I think if climate friendly options were available in more chassis options and body styles, people would adopt them faster. I think people want to do the 'right' thing in switching to an EV/hybrid option, but there isn't a climate friendly, cost effective pickup/SUV option available.

Tesla has the right idea in offering a low cost EV option that doesn't look stupid with the Model 3. If there were Camry/Corolla and Accord/Civic EV options with the same off-the-lot price tag and same exact body style available, I think we would see more widespread adoption.

Additionally, if we were to see more electric utility vehicle options available with body styles identical to the gasoline powered ones we see on the road today, I believe that would capture another large swath of consumers. Of course, this hinges on the manufacturers to offer these options in spite of their gasoline producer friends urging them not to.
I think you are overthinking the issue.

Bottom line is you have competitors, there is nothing you can do about it and there are only three outcomes:

[1] You both are wrong about the market and you die

[2] One of you wins

[3] You both divide the market between you.

While it may appear good to be a monopoly,there are many inherent dangers such as complacency, risk of getting blind-sided etc

Use them as validation for your ideas. Nothing stops you from improving upon and applying their features.
You now have another party to measure your effectiveness against.

I scowled when I read about the Intel chip, and I stopped reading when they mentioned USB. Assuming for a moment that there's no hidden backdoor in the Intel chip (which seems exceedingly unlikely from all that I've read regarding IME, not to mention the un-auditable microcode), all this fancy hackery is still going to get pwned by BadUSB.

Secure computing cannot and will not move forward until we have a way to mitigate against this.
I wouldn't. MJ in a lot of places has gotten like "craft beer": there's an endless number of varieties and strains, growers put a lot of effort into creating new strains and growing them as optimally as possible (like using hydroponics), different varieties are claimed to have different effects, etc. You don't need kilograms of it, but there is every indication that a lot of it will be very valuable, just like many fine wines are very, very expensive per bottle and many fine imported cheeses are extremely expensive.

If you get a chance, spend some time at a McDonalds watching people order. A lot of people eat off the dollar/value menu, which offers 300-400 calorie sandwiches for $1-2. Even if someone orders two McDoubles, they're only having 800 calories and the macronutrient balance isn't bad.

Another innovation that's probably helping is the Coke "freestyle" machine that has hundreds of combinations. "Low/no calorie soda" is a prominent top-level menu item and it has many, many more diet soda and sports drink options than classic soda fountains, which often only have Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. Sadly, I don't have statistics in front of me, but based on my observations, this encourages people to choose diet soda more often.

The popularity of the Chipotle burrito bowl/salad is another encouraging trend. I don't have any statistics for this either, but I've observed that once people learn about fajita burrito bowls (no wrap, peppers instead of rice) they order it fairly often. This is a very reasonable meal and healthier than a lot of home-cooked food. A low percentage of Chipotle customers buy side orders of chips.

That said, there are still plenty of people ordering ridiculous meals. Reducing portions doesn't stop hungry people from ordering extra food, dessert with their lunch, and so on. Americans will have to change their tastes, reducing demand for junk food, in order to become healthier.

They are because you choose to make it that way, and that's why Texas is a shithole. It's not that here is perfect, it's that they actually are taking steps that make sense to try to improve things. Texas's laws as a state pretty much preclude any sort of development there in that direction. That's beyond the absurd political climate you have to deal with in a state where Rick Perry was governor multiple times.

Uber's new pricing model – monthly subscriptions
I think a lot of people do care deeply about getting more men into elementary school teaching.

But as for why tech: technology is increasingly a sector where people earn high wages: people care about some getting some share of that. More importantly, tech companies are becoming the center of our lives: they produce the products we spend our time with. Moreover, tech companies today are increasingly oriented around and dominated by technical employees, rather than "business" or marketing staff. If women aren't represented amongst these technical employees and founders, that will have a detrimental effect on society, because these products will be less likely to reflect the needs of women. Case in point: the ongoing failure of Twitter to properly ha for abusive behaviour and harassment, which overwhelmingly affects women.
I fully agree. I've found this to be quite common in NYC now which has already had positive impacts for me. For example, just yesterday a friend wanted to grab a smoothie and after looking at the caloric values, I ended up making a selection that had at least half the calories I would have consumed had I just gone by ingredient listing alone. Smoothies can be deceptive!

So this is a very interesting way of describing language niches, because I've often felt that Go nails one thing very well: routing streams of bytes.

Any time you have to deal with "plumbing" (for lack of a better term), Go makes the job absolutely trivial. In a sense, I think it's a shame that Go has made it's name as "a language for concurrency" because I think that the concurrency features are in fact supporting features of the aforementioned usage: streaming dumb bytes left and right. Otherwise stated, Go is concurrent because concurrency helps ship bytes; it's not concurrent for the sake of solving general concurrency problems.

With that in mind, I'm still not clear on what makes Go's type system sub-par. I keep hearing this meme repeated, and although I know next to nothing about type theory, I have always found Go's type system to provide just enough scaffolding for byte-delivery pipework. Beyond that it just gets out of the way.

Consider this: Go is formally a static language, but it behaves (in the sense of how it's used in a workflow) in a manner closer to a dynamic language (compile time is equivalent to ipython's warm-up time, go playground makes testing snippets interactively very simple, etc). I think it's an error to compare Go with C. Go feels more like Python with concurrency and type safety.

So again: I understand the use-case for generics, but viewed through the lens of "nailing" the problem of shipping bytes (which again, I contend is Go's purpose), I fail to understand why Go's type system is repeatedly labeled as lacking. Go isn't Rust. It's not solving the same problems as Rust. From there, what is it that makes Go's type system shitty? I would describe it as "just enough type system".

Other than generics, what is it that people are expecting this damn thing to do? I'm very much open to being wrong (especially since this would inevitably introduce me to some interesting languages), but I can't quite conceptualize what people have in mind when they complain about Go's type system.
> 760 calories on a burger is a fine portion.

Depends; most people should not be eating 2000 calories a day, because most people don't burn anywhere near that many calories a day with activity.
FUD? Anything but blind allegiance to the schedule is raging FUD, huh? The real problem here is the zero-tolerance approach that people like you take to the meekest expression of any concern, even while you acknowledge that the system is imperfect. What is that, exactly?

>different countries have different levels of wealth and medical care, and many diseases are only regional

I'm not talking about developing countries and I'm not talking about yellow fever. Look up the history of the varicella vaccine in Britain, for example. So, the set of vaccines you'd demand of others would be different based on the opinions of experts in your locale. And, you see nothing wrong with continuing to make those demands? No room for questions? OK.

I won't even refute the statement about maligning you, etc. I don't have the energy to continue pointing out the contradictions.

2. Does the environmental impact of creating and disposing all the batteries in electric cars counterbalance any emission gains?
> In fact, there is no such thing as an immutable or stateless computer

Nobody calls the computer immutable/stateless. Immutable/stateless is an architecture pattern, implying that nothing important is stored or shared between calls.

It doesn't say that you can't cache info or write log files, etc.

> Just a bunch of buzzword nonsense

Well, what's the alternative that you propose? Should my HTTP requests leave lots of state-full files laying around? Is it easier to manage deployments when every box has different files laying around depending on how old it is?

Also, remember these techniques are for people "at scale". If you only have 1 or 2 boxes, these techniques may not be useful to you, so feel free to ignore them. I've got a 1000 boxes, and have seen first hand why it's a bad idea for each box to be able to be a unique snowflake.

Even if you have physical machines, you shouldn't put your production image on it to debug it -- you should put a debug image on it that allows SSH. If it's a hardware problem, it will be easy to find. If it's a software problem -- well, you have 1000 other boxes running that software, so you'll see it again. Just add better logging.

Maybe i'm grossly oversimplifying this, but wouldn't it be easy to have participants in a study wear an EEG cap (maybe some work needed to put it in a fashionable form) and keep a X-second sliding window of data? They could then use a smartwatch or something similar to notify the system "hey! i just experienced deja vu!" The EEG data could then be passed back to neurologists so that markers might be identified.
They'd need to be accurate labels though.

I think of the lack of adoption as more of proof that in situations where hard facts rule, consensus rarely matches correctness. Social proofs, "hot technologies", tech fads, etc. are all demonstrations that much of the decision-making in both small and large organizations is much more "social" than technical.

This is why I am immediately skeptical of any SV venture that proclaims to be the new hotness in tech. They may be hot, but it's socially, not technically.

I tried Qubes for a while a year and a half ago but at the time it felt too much like a paradigm shift for me, and I didn't like the idea of running a redhat based dom0 with a lot of packages, it felt a little too much turn-key.

I then decided to try to put something together from scratch to understand it better, so I ended up rolling my own debian/virtualbox/pfSense/i3 environment, link in my profile to my blog describing how I set things up.

This of course is for sure NOT as secure as Qubes, but for basic browsing and development (no 3d/gaming) seems good enough for me, it also was fun putting it together and has been working fairly well over the year or so I have been running it.

This said I am glad Qubes development is ongoing and will likely look into running it again at some point.
