How can you find text of license of curl in Toyota? I have friend with Toyota wanted to verify. Or maybe someone in this thread can verify this? Is it somewhere in user-guide?

Seriously how people can possibly think some random email from user guide or whatever text they find in car is valid support channel? It is either completely idiotic or there's something wrong with Toyota information guide that leads to this misunderstanding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-capitalism

Anarcho-capitalism is a political philosophy that advocates the elimination of the state in favor of individual sovereignty, private property, and free markets. Anarcho-capitalists believe that, in the absence of statute (law by decree or legislation), society would improve itself through the discipline of the free market (or what its proponents describe as a "voluntary society").[2][3]

One aspect that concerned me:

In an anarcho-capitalist society, law enforcement, courts, and all other security services would be operated by privately funded competitors rather than centrally through compulsory taxation. Money, along with all other goods and services, would be privately and competitively provided in an open market.

Sooooooooo private security firms for law enforcement? Pretty sure we saw how that worked out in Iraq with Blackwater. No thank you. There's a ton of flaws with this philosophy once you start thinking about it and following certain aspects to their logical conclusion.

Such as:

>>> I'm an anarchocapitalist and would love to see all of these costs unbundled, so that we each pay only for what we use.

So you only use 2.5 miles of a highway to get to and back from work - right? Should you pay for the entire highway or just the parts you use? So what if other people only use "parts" of that same highway? Does that mean we suddenly have huge gaps in our highways since people are only paying for the parts they use?
I'm amazed how many people get their email address wrong. I have <firstname>.<lastname>@gmail.com, which is fine, and hardly gets any mail meant for someone else. <firstletter><lastname>@gmail.com however, is basically unusable. Funny thing is, the latter was the one I created first, but I forgot the password so had to create the other. I managed to recover it later and I'm glad I have the former.

I personally prefer RSS over mailed newsletters. And was expecting that newsletters will eventually die. I was wrong. Not sure why they didn't died and actually grow more popular, but IMHO RSS is probably too complicated for regular Joe, so they probably not even know RSS exists. I'm only subscribed to newsletter when RSS is not an option, like js weekly, android weekly... But wish I can read those in digg/reader too.
I believe the original author meant "my girlfriend" as in, the girl he was with specifically, whom he had explained ML to, and kept a journal of.

I think it was uncharitable for you to assume he was implying anything about girls generally. If it had been "Machine Learning: for your girlfriend," that could have been reasonable to make that assumption over.

Edit: revising, shortening, done~
I think the touchbar is the way to go for desktops and laptops. You can imagine Apple rolling out a touch bar enabled desktop keyboard. But touch screens are totally impractical for use when your computer is docked, which means you can't really incorporate them into your workflow.

The battery life point is really depressing. Every MacBook since the original has been improving on that front and this is such a huge regression. If I wanted just 5-6 hours of battery life I'd buy a PC.

I think part of this is perhaps a shift in strategy among big non-tech companies. They used to be extremely aggressive about outsourcing and offshoring tech roles. My sense is that this strategy is changing among many of them as they come to see technology as a core profit center for them.

I think the problem is that to transition to a public transit model would require the transportation to be built first. It would also require the public transit to operate at a loss for a decade or two while buildings and people transition to this new mode of transportation. Many people are against this in the US because it's expensive and nobody likes tax hikes. Also people love their cars.
Tangential question here - can anyone comment on the recent-ish proliferation(explosion) of sites thats float an HTML 5 light box a few seconds after the page loads asking people to "Sign up now for our newsletter!" It's a pretty obnoxious practice.

99% of the time there's no reason to incorporate in Delaware for your side project. Just form an LLC in your state and it'll be considered a "disregarded entity" on your tax return and you'll report the income/expenses on schedule C of your 1040.

If you're making more than a few grand (net) then you might consider having your LLC taxed as a corporation and enjoy the 15% tax treatment. If Trump gets his way, corporate taxes might finally be reduced and you'll get even more favorable tax treatment.

However, if your intent is to enjoy the income but you expect a narrow net income or loss (lots of expenses can be attributed to your business), then stick with a single-member, disregarded entity, LLC.

I think MRI's are a great example of the costs.

An MRI machine used on average 10 times a day for 10 years can do 36,500 scans at the cost of ~3 million for the machine. 3,000,000 / 36500 ~= 82$ for the machines time. (Clearly more if it's used less often, but also clearly not 500+$.)

This is a case where the actual cost has almost nothing to do with the machine it's all about manpower + some consumables. So, what's the manpower actually doing? A huge chunk of time in the US is simply billing aka waste.

Red State Blue State – This American Life (2012)
I'm crazy excited that this might actually have a chance to come to fruition. Back in my salary-man days, I worked for Hiroshi Fujiwara when he was doing work on Superconducting DC technology.

The idea was similar to this one -- set up solar and wind generators in the Gobi desert, and transmit the energy through a superconductor network to Japan, Russia and other countries. The Superconductor system (I believe) could transmit energy at nearly 99% efficiency,

We got to see the 200m superconductor track at Chubu University, which was amazingly cool.

That goes a zillions times more for defense contractors, in not considering them evil, especially including keeping them in business.

Hard to win, impossible nowadays against a serious opponent, if you've let them go out of business. And many many of our troops needlessly died in WWII due to our playing catch up because we'd neglected these "merchants of death".

Delivering a great internationalization experience on a budget
Eh yea, but there's an economic feasibility limit too. From the Wiki article I linked:

"As of 1980, the longest cost-effective distance for direct-current transmission was determined to be 7,000 km (4,300 mi). For alternating current it was 4,000 km (2,500 mi), though all transmission lines in use today are substantially shorter than this." [It's unclear when "today" means, or at what voltage these lines were running. But the 1000KV range this renewable grid is running is pretty typical, and, is in the ballpark of these quoted distances.]

For reference, the circumference of earth is about 40,000km (as parent was pondering). The thing is, transformers and wire haven't exactly changed much since 1980. So until we can figure out room-temperature super conductivity, or a more efficient way of massively scaling up/down voltages than transformers, I'm inclined to believe the situation hasn't changed much since then. Then again, I'd love to be proved wrong.

Design patterns, anti-patterns and refactoring
I was a bit afraid of smudges too, but it's really not an issue. Under normal conditions, they're not visible while the screen is on. And when it gets too dirty, a touchscreen is much easier and safer to clean than a standard one.

As a power user, you probably use the keyboard most of the time and occasionaly a single mouse operation (like moving focus somewhere). For that, it's quite intuitive to tap.
I don't tend to recite my slides, so your prediction that the talk was more insightful was ... insightful.

Each of the slides was accompanied with an anecdote that attempted to both illustrate the point and to provide more background about why I think it is important.

I'm a developer and plan to get the new MacBook Pro. I just don't use function or escape keys that much. So, it seems like it's a subset of developers that are bothered by this.

I used Windows when I was young, then switched to Linux for 10 years professionally, and finally I switched to the Mac about 5 years ago. I find it much easier to use day-to-day than Linux. Especially using multiple displays in different offices.
The Wikipedia article on Cascading failure [0] lists a few examples of this kind of a large scale grid failure. You start by taking one (or some) power plants down, thus overloading others trying to reblance the system, and possibly failing too. Such a chain reaction can, over multiple generations, take a great many power plants down.

You can definitely get a place in Minne for $1k. I was just quoting median numbers. $2k for a 2br is in some of the more posh areas. But my point was more reasonable that NYC. Much more space for much let money. And the suburbs here would be even cheaper than the $1k.

Do most developers really need anything with a CPU more powerful than an iPhone 5 to build apps or web pages? In most cases if they do they're doing it wrong.

I've several React Native apps in both appstores. I think while React Native is not suited for all types of apps, there is a sweet spot for certain projects where it really shines. The development speed is really unparalleled, with hot reloading you can see your app changes as soon as you hit 'save' in your editor.
I can't comment on India's medical system, never used it and never really researched it. However:

> You can choose which one to go to (from an ambulance or any other time).

In theory, yes, in practice, it's a little harder. I mean if you were just in a car crash it's not a guaranteed thing that you're going to be capable of speech, let alone coherent enough to make your choice. And more importantly you shouldn't have to, your concern at that moment should be "put my head back together please" not "is this lifesaving treatment going to cost me my home."

> So do you believe that Indian doctors/other medical types are just vastly more ethical than the (very often Indian) doctors in the US?

This is not American doctors doing this (or at least, not the topic of this article): This is American businessmen who have no background in medicine that are making these decisions.
From what I read, the touch bar is a separate system, with its own processor and running watchOS - effectively a remote display - so an app crash shouldn't affect it.
> ...turning the lights on and off, controlling the fan in my bedroom, turning the lights off in the house when I go out and turning them back on again when I come home amongst loads of other things.

Do you have some sort of smart-home controller that controls these devices (e.g. a Wink or SmartThings hub) and IFTTT integrates with said controller? If so, what about the hub is insufficient and requires you to use IFTTT?

I ask because as someone who thinks IFTTT is neat, every time I look at any recipes especially regarding home automation, I don't see anything that I couldn't do with home-assistant or even with my Wink hub or Veralite controller when I used those. Instead, it looks like I'd just be offloading functionality onto a remote service that adds yet another failure point to the system.

You don’t need government investment to make that happen. The issue was the lack of money supply, which was solved partially by Roosevelt’s ban on owning gold, but partially by people fleeing Europe, which allowed the federal government to print more.

This has nothing to do with Sanders’ policies though. Sanders’ policies are a continuation of everything wrong with the New Deal, namely things like the minimum wage and government-supported worker unions, which prevent hiring of low-skilled workers, usually from the lower class, and make hiring overall a risky process, leading to less hires, higher unemployment, and corporations outsourcing abroad.
You don't even need to live in another country to see that problem. That happens right here in the USA.

In Michigan, lots of new buildings are exempt from parking minimums, as part of pretend initiatives to be "transit-oriented". But there's no actual public transit, everyone still has to drive. So, for businesses/residents in these buildings, people now just park their cars anywhere

Along both sides of streets? Cars. On top of sidewalks and bicycle lanes? Cars. In other people's front yards? Cars. If you live in the neighborhood, your struggling to get in and out of your own property because other people's cars now block you in -- cars from buildings that were supposedly so "transit-oriented" that they didn't need their own parking.

"But that's illegal" you say. Sure, absolutely. But that stops no one -- your still required to drive to go anywhere or get anything done, so it still happens, regardless of how strict enforcement gets.

---

Parking minimums aren't some evil plot to waste land or sell cars. Parking minimums are an attempt to prevent buildings from shoving their parking costs onto other citizens -- which is what happens in 95% of America without those rules.
I have no idea how iocage is being rewritten, but if I were to rewrite iocage in Go I would call the relevant system calls directly. I would not wrap exiting programs or shell scripts.

The iocage shell script was totally unmaintainable. I know because I forked it and used it for my own purposes, until I stopped and wrote my own thing (coincidentally, also in Go). Implementing state machines correctly in shell script is painful.
Bucky Fuller promoted the idea of a World Grid. One of his foundational principals is that as the system you design for gets larger you can engineer greater efficiencies.

Two reasons I've heard, but haven't tested out personally yet:

1) The pop up results in higher conversions (people actually filling out the email address field and hitting "subscribe")

2) The action of "closing" the modal popup confirms that the viewer of the page is probably a real human and that they genuinely made some kind of movement on the page (scrolling slightly, moving the mouse off the window, etc). This is supposedly taken into account by google, etc when judging page rank for pages.
Yes it's tempting to say that but it doesn't solve the underlying problem which is the development didn't create sufficient parking space. It didn't create because the government didn't mandate. A parking lot is not a high value salable area for a property developer and so unless he is building it for the 1% who value and pay a premium for such, there is no incentive fir him to do so. So as people become wealthier and buy vehicles, they park on the street and impose negative externalities on the society.

The article appears to argues that Government mandates of parking space per bedroom etc. are wasteful and should be avoided. I'm pointing out what happens when these mandates are not put in place.
Even a single computer can take down big servers using BlackNurse Attack
Maybe I'm generalizing too much - but couldn't we say that electricity generation is starting to resemble the internet more and more?

Servers (generators) that provide content, users (consumers) that want to consume it. As more and more people use things like rooftop solar - more servers are brought online, and the infrastructure needs to be updated accordingly to direct the "traffic" well.
