In Switzerland, recycling is done by the city administration. Put things in the wrong bin, get fined (and quite aggressively so). Instructions are sent to you when you move into the city and every year to every household. Works really well [1] (recycling rates: Glass 95%, aluminium 90%, paper 90%, plastic bottles 80%, batteries 70%).
Also, no landfills at all, everything is burned, air is filtered and heat is used for heating.

Yeah, what this tool doesn't account for is all the non-billable time you'll have to spend trying to find the work that you will be billing for.

If you figure 50% non-billable (which could be wildly optimistic), the ~200 work days per year would turn into ~100 billable work days, and there is your factor of 100.
You pump water into a boiler, not just submerging a giant heater into the dam.

No, it means the developer thinks they know that they are doing. Often, they don't. Read some CERT advisories for buffer overflows. There are hundreds of them.

The whole point of Rust is to put an end to that.

To reduce the amount of water behind the dam. I'm sure using the power to power pumps would be a better at that task though.

I think you need to do a better job telling the story. Honestly it would also help pictures of real humans/motivators. E.g. let Brad help you out by having a conversation the next time you are feeling anxious about <some issue>. I see honestly see both Fitness / Weight-loss as big markets.
First, I agree with you. But to answer:

One chooses to be obese more than one chooses to be tall, so arguing that tall people should have to pay more for their size while the obese shouldn't seems illogical.

Your reply makes me smile a lot. You are right. My English is not perfect. It could also be horrible. French is my first language and I don't practice English daily. But my understanding is perfect.

> High level application development might not change that much since the problems are usually poorly specified. But it might dramatically reduce the cost of writing system software.

I don't see that specifying system software is any easier - getting a specification in machine format is surely more-or-less equivalent to writing the program, and the specification is likely to not encode every single desire correctly - i.e. the spec will have bugs?

Or, in other words - you might not be proving what you think you're proving. You're proving what the code says you're proving, which is an entirely different thing.
I've seen fatal flaws from supposed experienced C and C++ developers in a large number of high profile projects, that would otherwise be nuked from existence had they used Rust.

I've also encountered severe flaws in libraries written by experienced programmers working for companies like Google and Red Hat that the Rust compiler caught during translation to Rust.

That's not counting the immense amount of tooling and features that make managing large projects a breeze in Rust. Managing a 100K Rust project with a large team is easier than managing a 100K C++ project with a large team. You can't guarantee that no one will ever make mistakes.

I find segmentation faults to be common place in C/C++ projects from experienced developers, and it's quite difficult to debug them at times.
And so was he. The first talking you hear is them telling the kids to stay put until they're sure no one is going to be rear ending them.

You can say whatever you want when you sell stuff in Australia, another set of laws (what we are talking about here trumps it). The most obvious case is warranties, you can take an iPhone back after 2 years with a 1 year warranty, and they have to fix it free. You can take expensive TVs back like 3 or 4 years after the warranty ends and get a repair for free.
> I'm not sure what you're arguing against

The top commenter analogized, jestfully, legalizing homicide with legalizing cybercrime [1]. A second comment said this comparison was unfair [2]. My comment [3] responds to that second comment.

In essence, if a state's claim to a monopoly on violence is legitimate, then its claim to protecting property rights is (almost) as valid. Thus, advocating a dissolution of the latter, e.g. legalizing cybercrime, can be compared, as a legal argumentum ad absurdum, with permitting murder.

Misguided developers incorrectly "validating" email addresses is the reason that one of my clients couldn't use one of the newer TLDs, ".place", and ended up scrapping it and trying to find something they wanted a lot less in the much more crowded .com space.

It's also why I far-too-often run into forms that won't let me use a "+" in the username part of my email address, which I use to track who's responsible for sending my email account off to third parties (e.g., "rob+paypal@....").

Some kinds of email validation are better than others. Using regular expressions and strictly adhering to the RFC is the one that developers are usually talking about when they say not to do it. filter_var(..., FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) is sort of okay, although there are lots of edge cases that it doesn't handle correctly.
>If you accept that as valid, then 20 years is a preposterously long timeline, and nobody could take seriously a prediction that far out.

I accept it ("things are changing so much faster now than they used to be") as valid AND I don't find 20 years a "preposterously long timeline".

"Much faster than they used to be" is not instantaneous, it just means that in the ancient world it took millennia, in the industrial world centuries, in the electronics world decades, and in the internet world years.

But self-driving cars are more in the electronic's world than the internet world. It's not like they are some new website or web business that takes over in a couple of years or so.

They need engineering work, safety tests, government compliance, infrastructure, etc, which take decades.

>in 20 years time, Hyperloop could easily become the dominant form of transportation

No, it wouldn't.

>20 years out? Unrecognizably different.

Hardly. 20 years is a perfectly good horizon to make realistic predictions. 1996 to 2016 for example: more mobile, more internet (which tons of people rightly predicted) would be totally correct. Policy decisions work in even larger timelines than that. Only superficial crap wouldn't a 1996 be able to recognize about 2016.
"Yes in my back yard." It's a group that advocates for building more housing in San Francisco.
You're only going to anger people by referring to another group as 'evangelists' when you yourself have already made note that you don't know enough about Rust to see why they are promoting it. There's much more to Rust than safety. You should actually spend a few months with it, and then give your opinion.

I am super excited for the self driving Autopilot to be enabled! I'd love to be able to buy a Tesla for my parents.

I smiled as I read it and took it to be a joke, but it might do the writer some good to be a little less subtle here. Admittedly I'm not very tall myself.
Fuel is weak argument. Vendover Productions recently did a video on youtube around costs around flying. IIRC the cost was less than 10%.

That said I do not mind to be weighted as long as airline guarantees something in return for my height. I would be in favour for some government regulation that seats should be progressively sized from small to large.

Some airlines from taller nations like Lufthansa and SAS have extra row of more legroom, but back support is still a problem and its not easy to get them.
After watching the footage several times, it seems to me like the car is breaking either just before or immediately at the point of impact, certainly way faster than a human driver could.

What I'm curious about is whether the autopilot predicted the crash due to the relative speed of the two cars ahead of it, or if it was reacting solely to the change in speed of the car that braked.
That's not what the article says is happening. The Tesla is alerting because the radar sees the (black) car in front of the (red) car in front (of the Tesla) is decelerating, even if the red car isn't, it's alerting because of that. It doesn't "know" they'll be an accident, it just predicts that it will have to slow.
Look, I get it, you don't want to give up the "power" of C for the improved memory safety of something else you don't yet understand.

Not quite: I am vehemently against the idea of trading simplicity of C for ultra complexity of Rust, just so I could get some compile time checking, and I will forever be the enemy of that idea.

But you could really simplify your argument to: "I don't care much about safety, so C is fine."

I care very much about safety. But I will not trade simplicity for an ultra complex language like Rust, just so the compiler could do some compile time checking.

Oh, you're a mere mortal like the rest of us.

Buddha was a mere mortal too. However, this programming business is special to me. Computers aren't only my passion. They're my life.

> These are the routes that will launch with $69 fares and have average (round-trip) fares of $300 (to) $350, including taxes.

The $69 number is only a launch promotion it seems.

That is an understatement. If it was only 2X, I would fly business class more often when going between continents.
Valve don't have investors or tons of shareholders to put pressure on them and company operated in quite unique way. Downside is that no one at company have time to deal with every problem even important ones.

According to some developers who visited office few years ago all Steam was literally developed and maintained by a "team" with less than 20 people or so. So Valve itself have very little number of employees, but very few of them working on anything Steam-related.
Most automatic systems brake proportionally to danger. On their own (without driver assistance) the goal is usually to bring an accident down to a "safe" speed like 30mph rather than prevent the crash completely.

I guess the point is to strike a balance between trust in the automatic systems and trust in the driver to make the right decisions.

Another way to look at it is that the system is designed to protect you, not the car. Use automatic braking to bring the crash down to something the car can protect you from, the rest is up to you
Service workers aren't a bonus anymore. Safari alone is holding back webapps considerably.
The public address could be enough for the server to realize there are two browsers from the same LAN. Then it tells the browsers to look for each other.

I'm not really sure that it is practical with large LANs (a /16) but it doesn't look impossible. If they design for privacy they could develop an algorithm that works.

And if I connect with a VPN I probably don't want to bypass it. I've got customers that accept unconveniences to protect their network with VPNs. Should browsers break it with WebRTC? I didn't think so. It's a vulnerability that I keep blocked.
I think it's the ratio of font to non-font on my screen becoming too high, looking messy. Or too much text looking too important.
Anyway, the effect is exaggerated on my rather big screen with rather low resolution (22" 1680x1050).
Looking again on a 15" 1920x1080 ... I actually prefer the webfont. Consider my criticism withdrawn.
It costs more to lend money to black people even if FICO is held equal [1]. The lender doesn't care about your race, they care about your probability of repayment. Is it legitimate to charge people higher interest rates solely because they are black?

It costs more to employ a woman, since she'll get sick more and poses a higher risk of vanishing into babyland. Is it legitimate to lower her wage commensurately?

I don't know the answer to these questions. But unless you are willing to bite the bullet and endorse the racial/sexual discrimination I propose above, you don't have a clear answer either.

Self-organizing has a very clear definition. Wikipedia has an entire article on it. I suggest you look it up. None of the many self-healing claims of the past, including this one have ever been self-organizing. As a result, have no programmable group memory. The amount of damage that can be repaired, stress fractures that can be repaired, etc is an incredible small range compared to any biological system. This is no different.

As far a swarm being a meaningless buzz word, again I beg to differ. From biological to robotic swarms, very simple instructions can achieve amazingly complex results. I have a high confidence that when we actually do have a real self-healing technology, swarm will be an apt description of its nano tech.

Most Tesla's on the road don't have rear facing radar. I don't think the rear facing camera is used for anything other than parking. So, that leaves ultrasound, which has limited range.

I would think in theory they could use the camera alone to detect an approaching vehicle, and take some remedial action.
Good call, that is kind of weird. Will fix it :)
And then Australians wonder why they pay so much more for everything. The truth is that, good or bad, regulations are not free. Servicing mandatory extended warranties, accepting otherwise ineligible returns, hiring lawyers and compliance officers, etc. That all costs money.

How can this possibly be discriminatory against Samoans when the airline explicitly stated that seating arrangements were to properly distribute weight on the aircrafts?

1. The airline's motives have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with race

2. The airline clearly explained its motives

It's almost as if people actually don't understand what discrimination means.

I like your <type> statement because it draws to the bigger problems with generalizations. It's also the weird logic flow I see more and more in western culture.

"Privilege" is a word I hear thrown around a lot today. Often times when people use that word, they do not realize they are making broad assumptions about other peoples' circumstances (typically) based on an ascribed attribute.

To go even further in relation to this and air travel, is obesity ascribed or achieved? If you get charged extra for being tall, that's not something really in your control. Discriminating against an ascribed trait isn't really fair and is the reason for civil rights legislation.

There are cases where it's difficult to determine if something is ascribed vs achieved. This is why laws for marriage equality have taken as long as they have in much of the world.

In terms of obesity, we see the trends and we see it's increasing. This is something we can measure. Homosexuality was something that could be hidden, and therefore the measurements could easily be off as people may have lied in previous decades to fit in with social norms.

Ultimately, fighting obesity has a lot to do with education, and changing some of the very wrong ideas we have about what is and isn't healthy food. But that's another matter.

In the article, they're mostly describing airlines that weigh people to distribute loads on planes. That seems logical. Now in regards to airlines charging them a different price due to weight and fuel consumption, that gets into a very grey area of how we deal with the reasoning behind obesity, choice, human rights and market costs.

With some software I'm sure they can determine some unavoidable accidents before they happen.

Sure, Amazon does make returns effortless. But there are two complications. First, DOA is not really a problem. Second, it seems that Amazon nukes accounts that return too much stuff. Or so I've read. So if you order many HDDs from Amazon, you're faced with many decisions about borderline poor packaging.
Reliable low latency transmission of audio and video is also one of those things that looks easy unless you try to actually get it working in practice.
> When configured to use CLI sendmail,

That's not correct. PHPMailer can be configured to send mail through raw SMTP, by directly invoking sendmail, or by calling PHP's mail() function (which is itself a wrapper around sendmail). This vulnerability affects only the last mode, when PHP's mail() calls sendmail. If you have PHPMailer configured to call sendmail directly, this vulnerability does not apply.

Yeah, looks like you're right, and although there might be some ways to abuse other Postfix command line options for some kind of mail abuse, I don't see that it offers any options that'll write a file to a specific location. If true, that's another big point in Postfix's favor.

On one of my web-facing servers running Postfix:

> One chooses to be obese more than one chooses to be tall

I wonder - have you ever tried weed? With a few foreign molecules in your system you can go from barely liking cookies to consuming 5 boxes without being able to stop. The satiation part of the brain is very sensitive. Imagine having to constantly fight similar urges because of slight mutations in that zone. I think physical make up could be indirectly the most important factor in determining weight, especially when it comes to extremes like obesity.

That's why I usually break fast initially and check the rearview; extend the braking distance to allow extra room for the person behind if they are too close.
It's not a grey area at all. Airlines should have the right to charge customers per pound of items they take with them --- be it flesh or carry-on.
PHPMailer can be configured to send mail through raw SMTP, by directly invoking sendmail, or by calling PHP's mail() function (which is a thin wrapper around sendmail). This vuln affects the last mode, where the command line is invoked by PHP itself. Yes, a good admin would configure mail differently, but this being PHP, it tries to be flexible and support the simplest options possible.
Seriously, dude. That is some privilege.
When the car is motionless (e.g. immediately after it has come to a stop from the emergency breaking), does the computer engage the breaks just soft enough so the car stays put?

And would this reduce the impact from behind if it were to happen?
The CXOs went because that's their JOB as CXO of a publicly traded company--it's their job to serve the interest of their shareholders. If any one of them did what this guy suggested they should have done, they should be fired.

No matter how much you hate him, he IS the president now, what would they do? Just say fuck you to the president for no reason other than to stroke their own political ego? Or try to carve the relationship so they can actually influence the guy to make the right decisions when it matters?

I really don't get these people who are still doing this type of campaigns. It's a loser mindset--thinking that it's all fucked just because of a single person. Yeah he's a president, so what? George Bush was a president too, and the world didn't end. Losers always complain because they know they depend on their environment instead of trying to make a difference themselves.

A winner on the other hand would proactively try to make a difference no matter how harsh the situation is. They definitely won't make an enemy with the president of the country their company is based in.

They definitely are far more expensive. This is why I maintain loyalty with a frequent flyer program with an airline that has a generally decent business / first class.

For shorter flights, I'll sit wherever and gain miles/points, but for anything 3+ hours, I'll use an upgrade (about 15k miles/points) for a better seat and service. This keeps the flights inexpensive, while opening up the option for more leg room when I really need it (I'm 6'6").

I don't, and that is exactly my point: it's not more or as much work as you perceive it to be, making one's own packages. An experienced packager can get 98% of the software packaged in under five minutes. I do that all the time.

I would have never picked Python precisely because of the pathologies you describe (and which became obvious to me when building and packaging Python). In my experience, your choice of the programming environment led down the rabbit hole you describe.
