I've heard this (loss of 35-50% within 3-4 years) and it's not really true. (Or at least, depends on the vehicle.)

A 2017 Honda Accord goes for $20k new. A 2014 of the same model with 45k miles goes for $16k (KBB). A 2011 of the same model with 90k miles goes for $10k (KBB).

Basically, the first 3 years and 45k miles it depreciates $4000. The second 3 years and 45k it loses $6000 more in value.

Arguably it's cheaper to buy new and sell after 3 years than to buy 3 years old and sell after 3 years.

The years 7-9 are when the car stops losing value so quickly. Worth $6700 in year 9 and 135k miles. The last 3 years and 45k miles only depreciate $3300.
>If America invaded Mexico I could get your point, but they didn't (so far, with Trump at the helm all bets are off).

That's an analogy of something the US could do that it would be similar to the Crimea situation.

In real life they did much worse (just in the past 10-15 years): they invaded 2 countries (and bombed 8 or so), bombed them, occupied them, created hell-holes of fundamentalism and mayhem where functional states once stood -- and they did that 6000+ miles away from their borders, where they have no place to be, and no ethnic Americans to protect there to justify their actions.

>Oh, and Ukraine is not within Russia's borders. The USSR died a while ago.

Not sure if you even know the region. The two countries share miles upon miles of borders. Except if you took "within" to mean "surrounded" -- I mean "right there in their border".
Impact of the Video Game Industry: State by State
> The money for this would have to come from somewhere. Thus it makes sense to tax the biggest beneficiaries, the capital owners who permanently replaced workers with machines. They're paying because they're gaining the most.

How do you know they're gaining the most? That depends on the relative elasticities.

Economics is not zero-sum. Even the unemployed people will gain in the long-term as the gains trickle down and/or they gain from other technological advances.

> The world population is something like ~7.5 billion people. Everyone needs some form of meaningful employment and income.

See lump of labor fallacy. There are always jobs, but people don't take them because the wages are too low.

I'm pretty sure I heard similar stuff regarding the internet.

Some people lose temporarily and others win. What is wrong with that? That inequality is how capitalism works.

> Of course laws let the companies "export" the jobs to other countries for lower wages since the 70's.

That's wonderful. Poor people's wages are rising and global inequality is decreasing thanks to that.
This is absolutely retarded. In my my neighborhood I've seen an increase in luxury cars in the last 3 years or so. Porche SUVs, BMW SUVs, Teslas, etc. I think to myself, 8 years ago these folks were crying in a ditch..and they have forgotten about it already.

On the other end of the spectrum you have young people who equally do not care about the operating system, but do not have such strong ties to Windows. I was amazed that when I gave my Ubuntu laptop to children on our family meetings, they had absolutely no problem using it for anything they needed. It was mostly just browsing the web and watching YouTube, but the point is that it was not alien to them. If more cheap laptops shipped with Ubuntu pre-installed, the adoption could go up significantly.
Maybe i don't know the reference. Anyone care to clarify?

> IMO naming these programing constructs after their arcane mathematical roots is toxic to the advancement of the field.

I disagree. Why not call a duck a duck, and instead invent your own terminology, just because you're in a different field? Mathematicians invented those concepts first, whether you like it or not.

It's actually one of my three criticisms of (OOP) design patterns. Often they are just another names for a contrived way of how to pass functions as arguments, so they are actually bad abstractions (too little bang for the buck). (The other two criticisms are lack of formal definition and lack of representation in the computer language.)

Maybe I misunderstood the meaning of one or more of the steps above. However it seems that if law enforcement wants to look at the messages of a user they only need to make Riseup decrypt for them every message at step 5. The only protection is not logging in because they need the cleartext password to start with.

People check their email often, so maybe this is why they are writing

> this type of encryption is not end-to-end message encryption. With Riseup’s new system, you still put faith in the server while you are logged in

The message should be "if you think you're under investigation, abandon your email and don't login anymore."

Another attack is with the received messages: I assume they are all cleartext and can be intercepted before they are encrypted at step 6, with or without the cooperation of Riseup. Messages in a conversation often integrally quote all the previous messages so there might even be no need to force Riseup decrypt anything at step 5.
And... you know these are immune to adversarial examples?

It works well for a CQRS model. Which helps with super high scale apps. But most devs want joins and dont want to take the discipline to manage the data duplication.
It's been a while since I went through it, but did the tutorial not originally use RSpec, then switch it out at about version 4 (along with a few other tools) so that everything in the book made use of the most basic, out-of-the-box tools (as much as possible)?
> because blocking this stuff would amount to censorship

Facebook fired its "news curators" in response to criticism of it suppressing "news stories of interest to conservative readers from the social network’s influential 'trending' news section" [1]. This happened in May of last year.

Never looked at DocumentDB before. So if I get this straight, I can get a fully managed DB that can scale easily, but still have all the advantages and compatibility of a regular NoSQL like Mongo?

I think that's a first, right?
I don't think the majority of all American car miles stem from the "not everyones".

Poor city planning that makes cars all but essential is the problem, not the dozen houses way out in the sticks. In Germany even towns with a population of like 30k have at least basic necessities within cycling distance, and Germany is way worse than, say, the Netherlands. I'm pretty sure that the majority of the population lives in towns that are larger than that.
>Unless, of course, people want newer engines that are more efficient, want newest technology (carplay / android auto), and want newest safety equipment.

Those changes, generation to generation (2-3 years) will be marginal if even present anyway, except on rare cases.

And even them are more like "want" than need, as you say.

>Maybe I misread your comment, but keeping a car for 10 years may not be for everyone.

Might not be to the mindset of everyone, but that's what the parent addresses.
I used to post reasonable and non-snarky comments like this. I stopped doing it after about the fourth or fifth time that the commenters responding to my posts told me that I clearly had no idea what I was talking about and was uninformed because they had read the Hyperloop white paper. This literally only happens in Musk related threads.

Your profile says you work in machine learning - imagine if every thread you posted in about machine learning you were told that you were an idiot because someone had read I, Robot and the AI in that doesn't match your idea of ML so of course you're wrong.

So I just try not to post in most tunneling related topics, especially those related to Musk, any more unless I see something interesting (like your original comment for this whole thread noting that nobody here knows anything about tunneling). When I do find something interesting I try to respond honestly and directly, as you can see with my other responses in this thread; however, the GP comment here offers nothing to the debate other than basically saying "Elon is a superhero".

I would not be surprised if others in their respective fields take a similar approach in other cult of personality topics (Uber, Elon, Apple, etc.).
This seems like an obvious thing to try, but technically the convolutional structure already looks at different scales (in a way similar to mipmaps).
> Not a really scalable business

You don't need scaling when you work in luxury, anyway :)

I've worked in that industry too. I had stripe processing $10k single payments through credit card. Scaling was the last of my problem, I just wanted everything to work perfectly.
I would happily pay. So would many others. Things do not need to be free, they just need to be priced within reason.
There is parking assistance and then there are major safety features like ABS and better structures. Is a 2007 civic or accord missing those things?
Microsoft still has some vestigial stupidity from their past culture. It would only help them if they opened up for open source projects like this.
If you do it like that you have to be very careful how you design your intersections. Cyclists are even harder to see when they're hidden behind a row of cars.

Next time when I have access to a PC I can do the searching and reading for you, but until then you will have to wait. I will have access to a PC in about 10 days.

> 797 vehicles per 1000 people

Some people have more vehicles than they need.

My father has three old cars: a 2001 truck (to haul gravel/etc), a ... 1997 Nissan Pathfinder (4wd needed for 4 months/year), and the 1998 civic my passenger gave me in trade [1] (so he doesn't have to put miles on his truck, and to save at the gas pump).

That's one way to look at it, but not the only one. Look at the entire set of children. Then the subset of those born on Tuesday. Then the subset who have exactly one sibling. In that case the probability is 50%.
> In a language like python, you can start running your program instantly and push dealing with bugs as far back as possible.

Which is often never. Part of the reason why I avoid using anything written in Python.
I've increasingly noticed this myself. I known a number of people who spent like crazy and loaded up on debt prior to 2008. After the RE crash, some of them even went through foreclosure/bankruptcy. For a few years after it seemed like they were very wary of picking up too much debt but that wariness seems to be subsiding with time and I see them falling back into some of the same spending habits.

I think a long economic cycle is probably beneficial to businesses and politicians since time can insulate them from the consequences of poor decision making, but I wonder if a shorted cycle with less severe but more frequent downturns would be better for society. People seem to have really short memories when it comes to this stuff.
The stores geared for pedestrians are usually much much smaller, and people buy a lot less at a time and have less selection.

I personally never shop in such stores, I hate them for being overpriced and never having what I want. They have them in my area - a whole street of them, and I could walk to them, but I never do. I prefer to drive to the larger stores that I find FAR more useful. I fill up my car with FAR FAR FAR more groceries than I could possibly carry by any other method, except perhaps taxi.

> But there's a huge opportunity cost

Hardly. The stores are not interchangeable. I find the stores you like to be useless, and I would never live in a place where that's all they had.

> they'd provide the same economic benefit to the city as a whole

They would not. Typical purchase amounts are not even close. And you would need a lot more stores to cover the same amount of merchandise as those large stores, but of course a lot of small stores is far less efficient than a few larger ones.

I would have to shop every day in your world (no thank you), and I would spend more since I could not buy in bulk. I would probably have a smaller house, so I could not store in bulk either.

> Their cars are.

So your plan is for people to take public transit for 2 hours, every day, to buy small amounts of groceries, only what they could carry home on public transit?

And what kind of public transit could serve rural areas anyway?

This is the problem everyday developers, like myself, have with attack vectors on encryption and cryptography. We read up on Oracle attacks, and specific proven attacks like CRIME (and every other attack against openssl and crypto in general). Yet the majority of us can barely understand the basic details. The majority of the research written about the topic is published from the perspective of the top 1000 cryptographers on the planet. Whether the concepts are honestly too complex for "normal developers" to comprehend or whether the top experts in the field enjoy the superiority and exclusivity of being "in the know" while labelling the rest of us "stupid", the fact is nobody dumbs down the information involved to the point where 95% of us who work in technology can apply the knowledge to counter these attacks.

The research is published with information that is far too low-level. Very few software developers, including the vast majority of engineers with degrees, understand the theory and math behind these issues. The best of the worst of us know not to roll our own crypto, but that is clearly the tip of the iceberg. Someone out there needs to figure out how to properly explain "Crypto for Dummies" if we ever want or expect the overall security of encryption to improve.
>Windows 10 isn't too bad OS wise either though.

On a fundamental technical level, windows 10 is a pretty finely tuned os.

On any other benchmark you might choose (privacy, invasiveness and advertising, user control, user experience, active user deception) windows has been going downhill for years.

I can't say a lot about Leipzig but many german cities were rebuild far more car-centric then they were before. Public transportation, small streets and biking seemed outdated back then. A lot of medieval building were destroyed after 1945 to make room for cars. There's a good german (not subtitled) documentation about this topic [1].

The Nazis had the same attitude before. Cities had to be car-centric, that's why they moved on with the Autobahn and created Volkswagen. The obligation to use bike lanes (Radwegebenutzungspflicht) was issued under the Nazi regime. It was part of the fascist mindset that cities are made of concrete (instead of children playing in parks).

It is. I already knew Go, but read it from cover to cover. It's a very nice book, and as was said, the Go1 compatibility promise will ensure it stays relevant for a long time.
Anecdotal, I know, but I was on a flight a few months ago where the wire for the hand held controller for the entertainment system had gotten so hot it burnt my hand. I'm not sure how far away the autoignition temperature of cotton is from the burn-my-hand-temperature, but I suppose it's possible that if it was cotton on that wire as opposed to my skin it may have caught fire. And while the wire delivering that content was non critical and probably on a seperate power network to the main systems of the plane, a fire on a plane is a fire on a plane regardless of which system caused it.
Agreed. My girlfriend and I are a 200k household and still do quarterly review of various digital subscriptions, which though small can add up to significant amounts. A debt to the tune of $500/month recurring charge makes me... ugh. We recently bought a nice Honda Fit, slightly used, for $16k or so. We paid cash which I think helped us think rationally about our needs instead of starting from what kind of payment we could "afford". Even at low auto loan rates, I feel bad that people are being fast-talked into that kind of debt. The worst thing about this is that it's very hard to save for the next vehicle while making these kind of payments. So when the thing they are driving eventually has to get replaced, they are perpetually stuck in this auto-financing black hole.
Well for one, computers and the internet are a huge part of automation. This is a long-term, multi-faceted trend.
Why providing Clean Air and Clean Water is such a hard problem
Until you provide proper transit and stop expanding roads and parking (which surely will degrade driving experience) and make new neighborhoods walkable (see above) demand for driving will not fall even if it becomes more expensive. Only the poor will be hurt.

There are many roads overbuilt for the kind of traffic they face. Cutting them down to size is an excellent idea. Providing light and heavy rail is also great. Buses have limitations and still require expensive infrastructure for high level of service.
Aside from the other problems people have been discussing in this thread, it sounds like there'd be a good case to re-draw the county lines in your area to simplify administration of the region.

Legitimate concerns, but the UK now is a much smaller fry in the global market with considerably less local production - Switzerland and Norway are both out of the EU too (EEA regulations aside) and the products they consume are th same quality - I don't see companies going out of their way to exploit any regulatory laxness in the UK - it just wouldn't be worth it.

Unless Ms. May decides the only way to save the UK economy post-Brexit is to change the country to a Laissez Faire model overnight.

>For many people events in politics directly impact their lives

That doesn't fit what I've seen on Facebook. A better description, "for many people, ranting about their political opinions on Facebook seems to be fulfilling for them." The only way it impacts their lives is that it was the source of their entertainment for the day.
That's all fine and dandy as long as you don't have a butt-in-chair job. I live in a city because I don't want to spend 20% of my waking life stuck in traffic. Once we figured all the post-scarcity stuff out, we might live like the Solarians, but for now it's just not practical.

> What sort of database is effectively useless for querying?

Cassandra, Riak, Voldemort, HBase, Bigtable, Azure Table Storage, and many other implementations of wide column stores have similarly limited querying.

I'm also not sure what you mean by the limiting scaling model. I can go from 0 to 160k reads/second by turning a knob, and 160k is only the default limit (you can request higher limits).

It is not a document store. It's a wide column store. Use it for the right job and it does very well. Treat it like postgres and you are gonna have a hard time.
