I think the part that the other replies miss so far is that you can treat genes as a form of information transfer, and that we've taken information transfer through cultural means to a completely different level. And that this has two effects:

1: It removes the need for saving a lot of information in the gene.

I remember reading as a kid that in many ways mammals have a vastly simplified genome compared to amphibians. Why? Because we only need to encode enzymes that work for a small range of temperatures, whereas amphibians need to be much more adaptable. I think human culture could have a similar simplification effect on our genome.

2: Our evolution is no longer bound to our genes

We can adapt faster than genetic mutation, and you could consider that cultural adaptability a form evolvability as well. We're basically the first "general purpose" species!

3: Being a social species (a fundamental part of being cultural) encourages diversification

Imagine a sports event where there are five completely different types of individual sports being played. Now let's say peak performance is defined as how good you can get by spending 100% of your training time on it, and that the Pareto Principle applies in the sense that you can reach 80% of peak performance in one sport by spending 20% of your training time on it. Not an unrealistic scenario, right?

People also join in teams of ten. Now imagine two ways of how those teams are graded: the first sums up the average performance of the team per sport, the second sums up the best individual performance per sport.

In the first case, the optimal strategy is having allrounders. In the second case, the optimal strategy (assuming nobody gets injuries) is to have one specialist per sport.

What I'm saying is that being social species means our selection pressure leans towards the second situation: we collaborate, so any group is as best, as its best individual specialists working together. Meaning human groups have selection pressure towards specialisation, and thus diversification.
As I understand one of the target audiences of Docker EE is RHEL/Docker users. New version of documentation now says:

- Docker Community Edition (Docker CE) is not supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Previous version of documentation have had no such sentence.
The article quotes Mayor Garcetti as saying that "improving air-filtration, building design and tailpipe emissions" may be better than zoning restrictions.

The article is properly scathing about the building of apartments with balconies and sliding doors not more than 100 feet from very busy freeways. But, it does not follow up on Garcetti's point: we need to be more aggressive in curtailing vehicle pollution. That's the root cause, after all.

As their particulate graphs point out, vehicle pollution has an 80/20 quality. A few vehicles cause a disproportionate amount of pollution - they cause the spikes in the graphs. This is also evident from driving around. You can clearly smell, and see, when you are following a badly tuned truck, or almost any 1970s and earlier car.
Cisco, Juniper, F5, and friends should be watching this trend closely.

I remember the various RISC UNIX vendors ignoring Linux when it was new, a bit clunky, and short on enterprise features. They missed the head start.

Won't be too long before there are nice ecosystems built around DPDK, Snabb, etc...and people start replacing their higher end Cisco gear.
The section "How does the Test Pilot experiment differ from Containers in Nightly?" isn't really clear. It doesn't explain what Nightly (and Developer Edition) users should expect to what they use (if they're not willing to jump to Test Pilot).

Are container tabs are being moved out of the browser core to the Test Pilot walled-garden extension store? Or Test Pilot extension is just enabler and all the stuff is still in the core? Or core is becoming chromeless/API-only and extension does the UI? Or both systems are going to be developed in parallel (or maybe Test Pilot is fast-ring and built-in stuff is a snapshot of whatever looks stable at relase time)? Or is it something else?
This always is an issue I take with people saying how certain technology is impossible due to <insert proof reducing technology to halting problem>. Type checking, code optimization, automatic proofs, etc. That's short-sighted.

As long as you reduce the power of your technology from "yes/no" to "yes/no/don't know" you're good to go.

Some optimizations may be impossible to apply in general due to the halting problem. But as long as you realize that the optimizer might return "I don't know if I can apply this", you can conservatively apply the optimization in the cases where the optimizer actually is sure.

Same for type checking. You can add a compiler warning: "Could not automatically prove type correctness.". Done. Now you can automatically check 99% of the cases where there are no halting problem issues, and leave the remaining 1% to the humans.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good.
I never argued with #1. And you are wrong on #2. My way promotes our civilization, theirs is just an echo of the civilizations of the past.
> In short, the causation is backwards - folks who want to or enjoy making things more complex end up using Java more often.

That is complete utter nonsense. Developers most likely use Java because

1. they have to which is the case for Android or using existing libraries/code base or

2. because they already know it which is typically caused originally by number 1.

3. The language is still one of the popular language so for many it is a safe bet.

As for ShoelaceTyingStrategyFactory... I have seen that crap in Typescript, I have seen it in C#, I have seen it in Objective C... Its caused by complex annoying needless requirements.

See what happens with Java can happen with any language where you are don't have a proper development process of removing needless requirements. You end up with complexity. And yeah sure some people enjoy solving complex things and making it scale but the neither the language nor the community caused that.

Now if you are talking about the spec writers like the JSR authors... yes those guys actually had it in there interest to make it complex because their company would be the only company that could make a reference implementation (for example Day software with JSR 283). But this is not the Java developer community as a whole.
Our 2011 Lexus CT200h (no longer with us I'm sad to say) would set time via GPS. I don't understand why every car doesn't do this (especially if it has navi, which requires the GPS chipset regardless).

You are correct that that number doesn't appear in the Bible, it's extrapolated from the count of 600,000 which only included males over the age of twenty.

In all civilized states you are allowed to protest against your leaders. You can march with a "not my president" sign and so long as you are non-violent you will be allowed to continue. Try a "not my commander" protest in the army.

That old chestnut. Is it true?
I love it. 1) you're charging 2) it's OSS-ish 3) and you seem to have a business model that'll work long-term. Don't listen to me because I'm not a paying client, but keep up the good work!

Another idea for how to charge people: "enterprisey" usage, e.g. 2000+ files in one folder or anything that normal file managers choke on.
>The bus doesn't necessarily go where I want to go, when I want to go there. Uber/Lyft do. At scale, they can do both demand-dispatching and ride-aggregation.

Hail a cab? You can even use a cab-hailing app? There is nothing magic about Uber/Lyft's service that a municipal taxi service couldn't use.

And an aggregated bus service through Uber isn't going to be any better. Once the VC funding subsidy runs dry and the dream of cheap, point-to-point ride hailing is going to die. You're going to have to learn to walk a few blocks every now and then.

>As long as there's a competitive market with multiple entrants, the cities wouldn't be at the mercy of the private corps.

If you're talking subsidization then it will have to be. Administering tax subsidies or credits for using ride-hailing in lieu of actual public transit would be a nightmare to implement if the market is truly open to any entrant to the market. And there is no reason a city government should want to allow a private corp to skim off the top either.

>But seriously, smartphone penetration is quite high. And how many smartphone users don't carry their phone with them when they go out?

More than you would think. Young people, old people, poor people, mentally handicapped people, people who have been away from power outlets for a while. Foreigners who don't have domestic SIM cards yet.

>Buses aren't a good choice for "everyone" either--they only help people whose trips align with bus lines and schedules.

Bus lines and schedules aren't exogenous. They're put together based on estimations of where the demand for the bus line is. You think people aren't at the mercy of Uber and Lyft's schedules? You call a car and it says you're waiting 15 minutes for the next ride, that's no different than going to the bus stop and seeing that you'll be waiting 15 minutes for the next bus.
Another solution is that the broken males will engage in some sort of discernible behaviour. Yet another is that smaller populations with this issue will survive in places that couldn't be reached by the damaged one and will repopulate.
IIRC, this question came up with Westmoreland in the Vietnam War. The US was considering transitioning to a volunteer army (which did happen after the war), and a reporter asked Westmoreland what he thought of the idea. He was adamantly opposed to an army of mercenaries, and the reporter shot back by asking if he preferred an army of slaves. Westmoreland replied that he didn't want such insulting language used of "our patriotic draftees" -- meaning that he had internalized an if-by-whiskey argument.

It is all about hazard/risk modeling and mitigation. E.g.

Someone rm -rf / ing the server will happen eventually with near 100% certainty in any company and can be mitigated by tested, regular, multiply redundant backups.

Cosmic rays flipping bits will happen with near 100% probability at the scale someone like Amazon works at can by mitigated by redundant copies and filesystems with checksum style checks. Similar with hard drive failure.

Earthquakes will happen in some areas with near certainty over the time periods companies like Amazon presumably hope to be in business and could be mitigated by having multiple datacenters and well constructed buildings. Similar for 'normal' scale volcanoes.

Fires will happen but they can be mitigated (with appropriate buildings and redundancy).

Small meteorite stikes are unlikely but can be mitigated by redundancy.

Solar activity causing an electomagnetic storm - yeah one can shield one's datacenter in a Faraday cage but in this situation the whole world is probably in chaos and one's datacenter will be the least of one's concerns (unless shielding become standard in which case you'd better be doing it). Similar applies for nuclear war, super volcanoes, massive meteorite strikes or other global events at the interesting end of the scale.

But yeah there are going to be things that get missed. They key is having an organization that (1) learns from its mistakes and (2) learns from others' mistakes and continually keeps their risk modeling and mitigation measures up to date. And note that many of the hazards that are worth mitigating have the same mitigation i.e. redundancy (at different scales).

I think people run enough browser tabs (+ their office suite + background OS tasks) where the core difference will outshine the single-core speed. It's not hard to overwhelm 4 real cores.
> - Almost at the very beginning, there was no /usr folder in UNIX. All binaries were located in /bin and /sbin. /usr was the place for user home directories (there was no /home). Putting /home on a separate partition remains a pretty common thing to this day because users will tend to have greater storage requirements than just the root. /usr/bin and the like are the result of people realizing that this secondary larger disk is an acceptable place to put binaries and other files that aren't needed at bootup.

The author cites to this post by Rob Landley – http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2010-December/074...

While I can't independently confirm Rob's claims, and he doesn't provide any citations, I do find them very believable – /usr was invented at Bell Labs because they were running out of space on their puny 1970s hard disks. (And an RK05 was small even by 1970s standards – the IBM 2314 mainframe hard disk, released in 1965, had a 30MB capacity; the IBM 3330, released in 1970, stored 100MB – of course, these disks would have cost a heck of a lot more than an RK05, and were likely not feasible for the UNIX team given their budget.)

If they had bigger disks (or the facility to make multiple smaller disks appear like one big disk) – it is less likely they would have split the operating system itself across two disks (/ and /usr). (Using separate disks for the OS vs user data was more likely even with bigger disks since that was common practice on systems at the time.)

(Some other operating systems from the same time period already had some ability to make multiple disks appear like one big disk. For example, OS/360 has the concept of a "catalog", which is a directory mapping file names to disk volume names; this means you can move individual files between disks without changing the names by which users access them. In their quest for simplicity, Thompson and Ritchie and co decided to omit such a feature from UNIX.)

Recommending someone to build in the cloud is an easy and safe recommendation to make. Therefore, more people will go that route when asked what you should do.

Pretend for a second you plucked someone from a royal family that never prepared their own food, and they asked you how to make food. Are you going to recommend they purchase land, start a farm, grown their own vegetables, and raise their own cattle? Hell no. You tell them to go to the grocery store (cloud) and if they are desperate, they can purchase some pre-made food at restaurants (SaaS providers).

When you don't know anything about a person's exact needs or abilities, making the safest recommendation is easiest, and therefore it proliferates.

I hate the cloud but I know how to do what I want on my own without it. You don't know that about other people.
Exactly. E.g program analysis tools can tell you whether your code does not have bugs or it might have bugs (for a very large set of potential errors).

For example, the Astrée static analyzer has checked the whole 100K LOC fly-by-wire Airbus software and determined there were only a few potential bugs amongst those classes of errors tested. That software was written in a Turing-complete C subset.

The key point to "get through" the halting problem in program analysis is to err on the safe side. That is, to allow false positives.
I think the incentives of different investor types should be considered.

If you're a speculative investor and plan to own for <1 month or so, who cares about voting rights.

If you're a long term investor, say >2 years, non-voting shares means the company doesn't have to burn itself for quarterly or annual results.

Activist investors won't like it (but there's not really that many of them).

Will probably work well as long as things are going well for the company. If things go badly, management will need to be very self-aware or the recourse will be a large discount to the share price.
Understandable. The dtrace command you see is tracing a process "ls" (regardless of switches). I didn't show my work (ls -ld .) that generated the output, so your confusion isn't unfounded. :)
In my case, one of the reasons I hate raw tomatoes is because the seeds look like an alien egg cluster sac and I know they can pass through human digestive system and still remain viable unharmed by the digestive juices.

It's easier for humans to conceptualize what is happening if you visualize the design for them.

A good command line would better protection would have helped, but this fails some of the core of good interface design.
Less isolation (e.g. extensions are shared between containers, and so are some other things), and works in the same window.
Not sure if I should continue to comment here.

> I don't consider it a rigorous subject.

Many universities offer undergrad, masters and phd level work in this subject. Could be helpful to know why you think it is not rigorous.

> Do you have this understanding?

Like I said, I have a beginner level interest in the subject, ie, I have taken a undergrad. level relevant course in psychology and one in philosophy of mind, and occasionally read related books.

Maybe you do have a full explanatory theory of qualia, of other mind, transcendence of objects in perception, unification of consciousness, how consciousness leads to another, forming the concept of "I" in addition to "me", how to speak of contents of consciousness in their own right and so on.

There's various thought experiments to highlight some of the basic problems that you have to go through, (ex: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qualia-knowledge/)

If you you have a complete explanation of mind in physical term, please do share or write some papers on some journals so people can slow down on AIs and start building a mind.

What are they going to say, "Oh, in my spare time I enjoy being old, blind, and Jewish."
Well the jews we're unique that they combined the power of a religious community and religion in general(religion do activate core psychological mechanisms among humans, and a good way to inherit ideals to children) together with being extremely closed to the outside world, both because because they choose so, but this was also forced on them through history, most strongly embodied in the holocaust, one major reason for the existence a Israel as the place where most Jews live.

And as a religion, lasting 3000 years isn't that unique. Christianity and buddhism are very old too.

"Electric-powered vehicles, of course, have no exhaust emissions. However, because they’re 24 percent heavier on average, the study found that EVs shed more particulate matter from tires and brakes, and also kick up more particulate matter from road surfaces."

If the brake pads are smaller and aren't required to slow down in many cases, the EV should win, especially when the average EV on the street is likely similar in weight compared to an average non-EV vehicle.

As far as kicking up existing particulate matter, EV's shouldn't be penalized for kicking up dust on the road which came from others cars, which are almost entirely non-EV cars and 18-wheelers.

I bet there are other more significant factors to derive impact on pollution from EVs than brake dust, such as the source of electricity used to charge them.

I'll try to look at the study later to see how the 1% difference between road pollution between gas and EV vehicles was calculated.
