HSTS is currently used by 2.8% of all websites, up from 1.2% this time last year. [1] If people are using Qualys SSL Labs tool to check their "grade", they won't be awarded an A+ grade unless their HSTS max-age is at least 6 months [2], so I'm going to assume the average is somewhere close to that due to how common usage of that tool is.

My grandma still uses browser bookmarks, but I have no none-anecdotal source for this.

> But if the additionally abstraction layers allow there to be greater diversity of applications and more tools for more niche cases because development is easier and/or faster

Please try to find a single example where this is true. Niche cases and greater diversity all come from a lot of work keeping runtimes up to date and APIs backward-compatible. This is only because of Free Software. Trying to credit this to "abstraction layers" is insulting to all of the programmers working on Free Software libraries, compilers, runtimes and operating systems.
Pown.js – security testing an exploitation framework on top of Node.js and NPM
I had a year's worth of my life crater next to the launch pad. It's a terrible feeling.

It was ever thus. Before first light of the 100-inch telescope on Mt. Wilson in 1917 (at the time the world's largest), George Ellery Hale was so nervous that he only invited a poet, Alfred Noyes--no members of the general press.

Noyes later recounted the drama as part of a poem, "Watchers of the Skies":

"To-morrow night! For more than twenty years,
They had thought and planned and worked. Ten years had gone,
One-fourth, or more, of man's brief working life,
Before they made those solid tons of glass,
Their hundred-inch reflector, the clear pool,
The polished flawless pool that it must be
To hold the perfect image of a star.
And, even now, some secret flaw—none knew
Until to-morrow's test—might waste it all.
Where was the gambler that would stake so much,—
Time, patience, treasure, on a single throw?
The cost of it,—they'd not find that again,
Either in gold or life-stuff! All their youth
Was fuel to the flame of this one work.
Once in a lifetime to the man of science,
Despite what fools believe his ice-cooled blood,
There comes this drama.
If he fails, he fails
Utterly. He at least will have no time
For fresh beginnings. Other men, no doubt,
Years hence, will use the footholes that he cut
In those precipitous cliffs, and reach the height,
But he will never see it."

I'm not clear on exactly what happens once the senescent cells are cleared.

Can an elderly body body replace these cells on its own, or would senescent cell clearing generally need to be paired with a stem-cell replacement protocol of some kind?

You mean beyond what is Drools and OpenRules? I think CEP and to some extent ML took over w/ (IMO) better documentation and better libraries.
Technically, having the option to decline fares is a form of pricing power.
Should it be something you learn? Sure. Should it be the first thing you learn in the stack, or something that blocks you from shipping? Shrug. Some people feel the need to depth-first-search their stack as part of the learning process. But at some point you have to say "This is as deep in the stack as I'm going to care about today" -- otherwise you end up sitting down to make a web app and studying particle physics.

I think 2 years ago, you absolutely needed to go that deep, mostly because when you sat down to work in the React ecosystem, you were almost certainly going to end up debugging something in a webpack config. I don't think that's the case today. It's a nice-to-have, and certainly will bring value eventually, but at this point I'm hoping to pull my non-C-R-A apps onto C-R-A so that managing the tooling isn't my job.

Plenty of devs ship plenty of business value in Rails without understanding the full stack, and that's fine. It's worth taking a deep dive when needed, or when specific concerns make themselves known, but saying "you need to learn everything now!" is a huge barrier to entry -- getting those out of the way is a good thing.

why did Democrats enact the legislation that protected our privacy?

They didn't. In fact, it was the Obama administration that reclassified broadband carriers such that they are no longer under FTC jurisdiction (see DannyBee's comment, current top comment), making a new (FCC) rule necessary.

This pending rule change is not in effect at all yet; it was only put through 3 weeks after the 2016 election and wouldn't have taken effect until next December.

Had the Obama administration cared about privacy, they could have timed the rule change and the FTC authority removal to take effect at the same time.

[EDIT]: changed "a week before the 2016 election" (a different, significant rule change) to 3 weeks after.
It's more likely that our successors will only inherit the harmful products of our civilization.

Consider this: People today are still dying from landmines and poisons that were using during wars a 100 years ago [0]. They may remain around for over 300 years [1].

The things that will most immediately affect the civilization after ours will probably be our radioactive waste, the long-term effects of climate change, the extinctions caused by us, unexploded mines and bombs, and stockpiles of nuclear and other weapons.

At best, the next civilization may dig up some of our machines and partially reverse-engineer them, but they'll probably never be able to access their original functionality. For example using our laptops/phones as a source of light, or their batteries as explosives. What little technology of ours that still fully works by then, will probably cause wars over its ownership, even if the tech itself is benign and beneficial.

> "if your numbers for race as a whole don't match the underlying distribution you probably have a selection bias in there"

That's an extremely strong statement to make. The proportion of Asians in professional soccer is substantially lower than the population distribution. Are you claiming that the main reason for this is selection discrimination?
Ok, so what laws that are in place do anything to control the speed of the driver (Aside from laws that would apply regardless of driving for fee or not)
Apart from the length of the match, (?=foo)f is equivalent to foo.* & f.* (the extra .* ensures that both of them match foo).

No, Uber is not a marketplace. Uber is a consumer product. Uber designs the product and sets prices. Driver's can't compete with each other and I can't 'shop around' on Uber to find a different deal.

If Uber switches to (self driving) cars that Uber owns itself, how does that change the sales tax model? The product is still essentially the same, the consumer still pays Uber, tax shouldn't change here. The backend shouldn't dictate whether sales tax is applicable here.

Etsy is a general marketplace and should handle sales tax/GST just like Amazon does. Which it does.
I've thought about this, but I think there's a serious question as to whether humans can even muster an effort on the scale that would be required to harvest and prevent release into the atmosphere.

Take ocean clathrates, for example. At a certain point, the ocean may become warm enough to destabilize them. What do we do in that case? Put up collection tents over the ocean that are millions of square kilometers large? The problem just doesn't seem tractable.

But who knows? I'm certainly not the sort of engineer that is qualified to answer these questions.
It's about self-perfection: figuring out the best way to live, getting closer to that ideal, and exploring and trying to resolve its internal contradictions.

But the best way to live differs from culture to culture -- and I'm not convinced that the rural South has the same kind of ideal as the North, which means I came on too strong earlier. What does the Celtic or Celticized world's high culture look like...?
If you look at the video in the article, there's a dude poking a hole with his boot in one of the smaller bubble. It looks like a possibility to capture the gas, maybe drill from top on the smaller ones and from side or bottom on the large ones... but, I'm not an expert. Also, top comment here linked to a conference where they've showed a submerged Siberian plane bubbling gas from beneath sea surface - 500 to 5000G of Methane. So long, and thanks for all the fish :/
Ok, how do these regulations help that?

Taking someone somewhere against their will is already illegal, which of these extra laws (and taxes) prevent that?

The result would be the same in either case - the driver would be held accountable for, basically, kidnapping and extortion, and you'll be left either short more money or stranded 60 miles out of town. A regulation in place isnt going to prevent someone from doing that. Regulations would have no impact on that case.
"If it’s easy for you to imagine a conscious robot, then you probably side with Dennett."

If you learn React, you can write for web, multi-platform desktop and (native) mobile, with React Native. Same can't be said for Qt or WPF.

Also the Qt community is minute compared to the JS community, that is significant.

Not quite, something would have be done about lateral motion. L1-L3 are only stable along the axis between the orbiting bodies. L4 and L5 are local gravitational minima, but that doesn't help us here.
I specifically invest in homes that have been foreclosed on when someone has passed away, because I can't stomach the thought of purchasing someone's home that they were evicted from because they couldn't afford it (ie vultures on the court house steps).

I can't tell you how often someone's heirs either didn't know or didn't care enough to take care of what was required to keep the mortgage in good standing to sell the property and get the equity out.
There are clearly multiple axes of inequality in our society beyond the economic, including race and sex. A fair and equal admissions policy should account for all of those.

Where did you get that? Every link I've ever seen indicates that the half-life is 7-9 years.

Regardless of what the half-life is, what you say is true about the concentration of methane. It is so much better at trapping heat than carbon dioxide, though, that even over a 100 year time frame, it will warm the earth 34 times more than carbon dioxide would.

I found housing prices to be harbingers of what turned out to be the "Great Recession". Looking around my metropolitan area, wages and income just weren't keeping pace (and we didn't have a localized influx of foreign investment, like in Vancouver, BC).

I suspect that escalating rents, tuition, and perhaps some other things, are similar signs of change, although it may prove to be less sudden and dramatic.

Sooner or later, the "slop" in consumers' budgets that can accommodate these runs out.

Also, the U.S. is becoming a less friendly place to foreigners. Although I don't know whether that applies -- or will be made to apply, by this 'embrace the "winners"' Administration and Congress -- to the global 1% buying in to e.g. U.S. real estate. (The U.S. currently being the center of my perspective.)
Qt is not that fun either, at least two years ago. Old style class hierarchies, clunky abstractions and awful build step (QMAKE). It got better with the use of lambdas, no longer necessary to have class to connect to a signal, lambda works as well.

However QML is an improvement. It was a bit quirky to get render the way you wanted and it was not native & look and feel, but maybe have gotten better since I used it. I could imagine that TypeScript + QML could be quite pleasant. Big downside is that the install size of your program is quite big.
I agree with your position (and with Dennett's). "Talking" is not like an independent module with a lede you can attach to a lion's brain to get it to talk. It must be integrated with the lion's brain, and that necessarily changes the brain to the point that it's no longer a "lion." This is because even simple statements like "I am hungry" require the ability for sophisticated abstraction. "Talking" is more than mere vocalization, it's also the thought processes behind the vocalization. Once you've changed a brain so that it is capable of those sophisticated abstractions, it's no longer the same.

It doesn't have to be for our survivors... We could, and I believe we should, do it for the next civilization to come after ours, even if it's a few alien visitors.

The GST is supposed to apply to just about everything equally, with a few exceptions. If you want consumers to pay less GST, vote for a government that will reduce it, as in 2006.

The government is doing exactly the right thing in changing the law so that irrelevant differences in corporate structure don't affect the tax paid.

Yeah, that's always been one of my points: existing cab fares are probably already close to the the price to sustain a business and pay a living wage.

Like you said, cab drivers (and probably cab company owners) aren't exactly fatcats. Meanwhile what's Travis Kalanick's net worth? How much are they paying top engineers at Uber?

Don't get me wrong, there's definitely corruption and protectionism in the existing taxi industry, but I fail to see how the low $5-7 fares are anywhere near sustainable. Is the revenue from surge pricing enough to offset the current discount?
If by "responsive, fast, reliable" you mean awful screen tearing when you mix X11, OpenGL, and/or video playback.

http://www.nature.com/news/software-error-doomed-japanese-hi...

> Software error doomed Japanese Hitomi spacecraft

> Dan McCammon, an astronomer at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, helped to design and build Hitomi’s premiere scientific instrument, an X-ray calorimeter that measures the energy of X-ray photons with exquisite precision. He has been working on the technology for more than three decades, flying versions of it on the ASTRO-E mission, which failed on launch in 2000, and the Suzaku spacecraft, in which a helium leak rendered the instrument useless weeks after its 2005 launch.

> McCammon says that it would take about US$50 million from NASA, and another 3–5 years, to build a replacement calorimeter. A version of it is slated to fly on the European Space Agency’s Athena mission, but that is not due to launch until 2028.

Well, Cloud Foundry is deployed by BOSH. So you can, if you wish, use RackHD to deploy it to naked hardware (instead of OpenStack, GCP, AWS, Azure and I forget what else).

Your apps will still be containerised, distributed and wired up the same way.

There's always a point at which it makes engineering sense to flip the switch to doing it yourself. But that frontier is never static. We (plus our peers in the Cloud Foundry Foundation) and others in this space like Red Hat OpenShift are constantly pushing back the tipping point at which it makes economic sense to DIY.

We already have very large customers with very large engineering teams, who've built platforms before. And they are switching because that effort no longer makes business sense. It's an expense they don't need for a platform they're the only maintainers of.

One of our peers at IBM wrote about DIY[0]. We have our own much more markety-businessy whitepaper, with a very detailed case, on the same topic[1].

Hm, good point regarding Asian American. Using "yellow" seems ridiculous but is value-wise the same as saying "black." And I can't just claim "just get rid of it all and call'm people!" because there are very useful reasons to be able to define general race (for example, when reporting a crime, you give gender, race, hair, clothing, approximate height). Even that though will become trickier as the genetic pool equalizes.

Dunno man, good point. I hadn't thought of it because all of my "Asian-American" friends have very distinguishable country-specific characteristics that they can identify because their family migrated more recently than your average Black family's, and they don't have a history of slavery obfuscating their origins.

EDIT: Thinking more on it, I believe I'm used to hearing "Asian" to describe race, as opposed to "Asian-American" to describe heritage or nationality.

EDIT2: And also thinking more, I believe my friends use "FOB" to describe an actual Asian, i.e. someone born in Asia. Which probably will be a horribly offensive slur one day and I'll be the 2060 equivalent of "the grandpa that says 'negro' way too much."
