'Rational' has a specific meaning in economics; on the weak end, it means an oddly strong knowledge of probability and game theory, while at the strong end it means completely prescient.

Outside of some limited cases, such as small groups of economists, there is no evidence that anyone, anywhere, had behaved 'rationally'.

It would seem that they could take over funding The Expanse too.

At least here in Sweden it says "A Netflix Original Serier" at the start of each episode, so I'd assume Netflix is at least partially funding it already. In fact is was only very recently that I discovered that it wasn't a Netflix exclusive show in the US.

All correct, except for the date, which was 1687 [1]. It happened during a war between the Venetians and the Ottoman Turks (the Turks stored gunpowder in the building; the Venetians fired a mortar at it). The Venetians compounded the damage by their incompetent attempt to loot some sculptures from the west pediment; these fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

But C++ GUI toolkits are disaster. While any kid can put together a reasonable looking JS app, the default options in toolkits like Qt are junk. Common features like centering a QComboBox aren't there. Quickly, you're going to have to custom build every widget. Then you need to hire engineers to manually press all the buttons. These engineers won't be too good at art stuff, so guess what, now you need to hire graphic designers - many of whom aren't familiar with Qt. You're best bet is to pay a consulting company tons of money to make a GUI, which you will struggle to keep updated. Even with unlimited cash, the lead time for this is unjustifiable.

Introducing the Dumb Startup Name Generator
While it is true that PHP is evolved more than it is designed, and as such retains the hallmarks of earlier generations and sometimes surprises you with its anachronisms, it is not true that this makes it impossible to create secure software. It just takes more discipline to avoid cutting corners. The same goes for many other languages and platforms so PHP is not alone here.

That aside, Nextcloud and similar user-extensible platforms are very hard to secure as it only takes a single slip of the thought by a single app author to open up the doors for unwanted visitors. As it is just the flexibility which gives Nextcloud (et al) its appeal this is a hard problem to solve.

I don't know. The market will decide.

Maybe they will have other jobs. Most uber drivers work part time anyway, so that's not any different.

Maybe you have to pay people a premium to be an emergency driver.

Or maybe people will just drive less when it is snowing. Most of the time when I am using transportation, I don't 100% NEED to go on the trip. Maybe Ill just buy groceries tomorrow instead of today.

But even so, if 90% of the time, transportation prices are near 0 $, that is still crazy distruptive.

The market can easily solve any of the problems you are bringing up, just with behavioral/price chances.

And trucking isn't even affected by any of the issues you brought up. An x% chance of being a day late is easily worth 90% shipping cost decreases.

Just to add to this, the anti-Japanese riots in China were a really big deal:

Some stores around Nanjing would even give you a discount if you yelled "I hate Japan"

OK, so our disagreement is very simple: exploiting the flaws of a slot machine is not cheating in my book. Neither is counting cards now that I think of it.

The rules for slot machines are ostensibly very simple. As long as you're only pushing the buttons that are supposed to be pushed without deteriorating them, you are acting within the rules of the slot machine, and as such cannot cheat.

The presence of hidden rules such as "don't push the buttons in this particular order and timing", or "don't push the buttons in a way that reliably causes you to win", are just silly and unfair. Especially considering casinos are exploiting gamblers' minds in the first place. Don't like slot machine exploiters? Fix your slot machines.

Likewise for counting cards: the player is merely acting upon information naturally gathered buy observation and play. Asking players not to act upon such information is intrusive —and unheard of in competitive play. Don't like card counters? Invest in a continuous shuffling machine.
I don't know how much Netflix money goes into the production, but Netflix takes a fair number of US/Canadian series and pushes them to other markets where they otherwise wouldn't be aired or released for months or years. This certainly does help the series (Netflix is paying them), but it's paying for distribution rights which may not impact production budgets significantly.

What you're describing is more like Level 4 which is basically Level 5 with a bit of hedge for weather and/or other specific environments.

"Level 3: Within known, limited environments (such as freeways), the driver can safely turn their attention away from driving tasks, but must still be prepared to take control when needed."

L3 on the other hand may be a good and useful system to, say, automate freeway driving but it's basically useless as a system for replacing taxis.

"But unlike postal codes in other countries which represent small areas suitable for in-depth geographic inquiry (Google “N6C 2B5” for a Canadian example), ZIP codes are woefully unqualified as units of analysis."

First of all, don't Canadian zip codes have the exact same limitation? Postal codes in general are designed for the convenience of mail delivery and nothing else. (For that matter, mailing address often misidentifies the actual city of residence if one lives near a boundary and always states a phony city if one is in unincorporated territory.)

There are two methods I can think of immediately to drill down into better detail. For one, zip codes are nine digits now, and using all nine digits (Zip+4) yields extremely narrow detail (generally no larger than the destination's building; often, homes have their own Zip+4. But that still leaves the problem of matching address to political boundary.

For that, there are many datasets that match street address to the underlying parcel, and knowing the parcel provides you with actual city (if in incorporated territory), state political district(s), city political district, Congressional district, etc. It's used by mailhouses for sending political mailers to the correct jurisdiction all the time.
What is the probability that the ejected black hole (if it is indeed such a thing) goes on to spawn a new galaxy?

Black holes are likely responsible for galaxy formation and evolution [1]. Since new black holes don't spin up from the void, I had assumed this meant all the galaxies to ever be formed have been formed (excluding effects of mergers). This, however, produces a new origin method (even if extraordinarily low-probability).

The tags you are describing are useful for planning but they become noise for developers in their day-to-day interactions with the board. Maybe you could use a custom field on your cards or a bracket [3] notation for effort? You could replace the impact tag by stack-ranking your cards in your Inbox/Icebox project.

In general, I prefer to use tags to highlight actionable things like "this is a high priority bug" or "this is ready to deploy" or "this is blocked" more than categorization, which can be better accomplished with separate boards. If your system has the concept of "epics" to group issues, that's a plus as well.

Random-order dithering can be done in WebGL, but they are of poor quality. I am talking about error-diffusion dithering, where you are reading and writing pixels, and then re-reading those modified pixels that change the rest of the pixels. In WebGL, you can read the pixels of the image, but you cannot modify and read. You are returning the actual pixel you have modified, which is what glReadPixels() returns. You could use webgl, but you'd have to use glReadPixels() for every pixel modified so that the next pixel knows the new data.
Yeah, the original design philosophy of AsciiMath was to make that input symbol something in ASCII that looks kind of like the desired symbol. The idea of supporting Unicode as an alternative is reasonable idea and probably one we should look at (feel free to make a pull request).

That was a great comment. It would really help morale, I think, if "we need to crunch hard for x days/weeks" from someone in management also came with "I accept responsibility for this situation.

Who is funding the developer? Why should they spend $5k (plus the opportunity cost of not using that dev's time on more fruitful pursuits) on 2 weeks of micro-optimization so that their 10,000 users will each experience a speedup so small they'll never even notice (and certainly never pay extra for)? How do you justify that expense?
I mostly agree with you, but I think there are two orthogonal angles worth considering.

First of all, some startups foster a cult-like, work-together-play-together environment where the pressure to overwork is subtly amped up as well since everyone spends all their time together. This kind of company is arguably exploiting young people's natural disposition and projected fantasies of success, although if they pay well and give above average equity then it could be more of a lifestyle choice than outright exploitation. It's also worth acknowledging that this kind of devotion can be a strong motivator that leads to high productivity. It's not necessarily the case that people have to work more because of mismanagement.

The second angle is that business success has very little correlation to the efficiency of management. Fundamentally if you have a good business then you will make more money for less work than if you have a bad one. Having obsessed workaholic employees is a decent way to improve your chances, but it's no guarantee. Sometimes in a startup you have to do a death march to survive long enough to test a reasonable hypothesis, but if it becomes so ingrained in the culture that you're still doing it at a later stage, then that's a company I won't touch with a ten foot pole.

> Common features like centering a QComboBox aren't there

Well, browsers didn't have proper vertical centering for UI elements for ages, too. Not to mention it's between a PITA and impossible to do "simple" things like styling a file upload button (only works via pseudo CSS on Chrome) or cross-browser styling of a scrollbar (usually people tend to handroll JS stuff, which is expectedly slow and unintuitive).

> You're best bet is to pay a consulting company tons of money to make a GUI, which you will struggle to keep updated.

It's the same in the Web sphere, with the added difference of clients not simply accepting "you cannot style a file upload button/input element cross-browser-like", they will usually answer you something along "it's the Web and HTML5 after all!!!". You will always need specialized engineers, designers and UX designers for a well-working app, no matter if native or web.
