I made my own little debugging SMTP server in C# some time ago: https://github.com/vmp32k/MailBug/releases

It's not pretty but it works well enough. :)
And because it was attached to a web api, it was likely still io bound, so it didn't matter.

Context and knowing the right tool for the job is important indeed.
> integers, which are limited to JavaScript's 53-bit implementation

According to what? JSON just says that a number is a series of digits.
> it strikes me as intuitively sensible...

This might be intuitive if A weighted each N of some class equally, and N>>Kevin for each _class_, but observation indicates this is not the case. Also certain N tend to be overweighted regardless of the knowledge class to which they belong.

IRL I have observed that B can work around A's bias by framing knowledge expressed as a question.

> Sounds like narcissism.

I think this is a common bias with implications in the "machine consciousness" question, but I'll have to wait ton finish that point. Look for an edit.
I remember seeing ads for this around my neighborhood that were essentially baffling. Very trendy, but with zero communication about what go90 actually purported to do.

Google "go90 ads" and you'll see what I mean. Bright colors and slogans like "To watch, cut & share all the awesome" and "Brace yourself, entertainment is coming" which mean, effectively, nothing.

("Ooh, I love entertainment. Along with content it's one of my favorite things to experience.")

Also, "go90" is a terrible name.

All the ways I’ve earned a [good] living from marketing
This makes two big assumptions that can't be overlooked:

1. People can't self-manage (to some degree)
2. Performance is the end goal of management

I think both of these are wrong, or at least unfounded. I work in a more-or-less self-managed environment, and performance is actually pretty good. I get to pursue about 50% of my work independently and the other half is either collaborative and in line with a coworker's needs, or is one of those "must-dos". I don't see a possible world where I'd get more work done over the average day if there were artificial metrics like "time spent at desk", "lines of code written" or "number of tasks completed" dangled over my head - I'd probably just fuck off more and come up with clever schemes to break the game. This problem can be seen in academia as well - give a bunch of smart people a matrix of rules and yell "GO!". Watch them optimize.

I'd also argue that if it's only performance you're looking for, you're both ethically and intellectually off base. Good managers do increase performance/productivity - bad managers do not. But to assume that, as with teachers, academics, or software engineers, you can measure and reward behaviors without causing adverse affects on your workplace then you're dreaming. My manager is good because he backs off when needed, leaving me and a coworker to argue about an implementation design. My manager is good because he sets up an area of focus and says "ideas, go!". My manager is good because he will let people take a week or month to pursue a new solution that he personally doesn't understand, but trusts them to solve it aptly. My manager is not good because his team excels in certain metrics - his team excels in certain metrics because he is good. And last, my manager is good because productivity is not the end goal - employee happiness is. Happy employees do good work, and more importantly, they're happy for their own sake, which is much better than being surrounded by burnt out metric junkies.

So maybe my takeaway is that if we're going to do any kind of metric gathering it should probably be sub-perceptible and not be treated as a golden calf. If my CEO wants to devise a clever way of using me as a science experiment in pursuit of better management practices then I encourage that. But to tell people "here's what we're tracking now go off and do good work instead of that" is really fraught with problems.

>Tesla said it doesn’t show anyone the logs themselves, only a description of the logs that it distributes to media when it feels the integrity of its product has been impugned.

>“Drivers don’t have access to this data to defend themselves if they need it,” the Swiss driver said. “So this data is 100% to the disadvantage of the drivers.”

This is scary stuff and is one of the main things that spooks me about Elon's view of the future. He's pretty much the anti-Stallman. My devices log everything I do in a blackbox fashion and when I have a conflict with these companies they can use this logging against me. I can't get these logs and even if I could how could I properly interpret them for my defense. Look at how Toyota had teams of experts from all over the world going over their recent acceleration issues and still had a hard time making heads or tails of it.

How can a consumer like myself ever hope to have these kinds of resources if there's a conflict?

>The Guardian could not find a single case in which Tesla had sought the permission of a customer who had been involved in an accident before sharing detailed information from the customer’s car with the press when its self-driving software was called into question.

This is inexcusable. Executitves at Tesla shouldn't be making these calls, the consumer should.

I think IoT and smarteverything is going to have us re-evaluate our relationships with the companies we buy from . There's a fairly major power inbalance in their favor and they are not shy about using it.
Management and other myths

1. Complex systems tend to produce complex responses (not solutions) to problems.

2. Great advances are not produced by systems designed to produce great advances.

I'd be so happy if some big entity (Google/Apple/YC) decided one day to relocate a big portion of their existence to a new place. That time when a city is just being born, when new things new restaurants new houses are being built is so special, it would be so different from dealing with the current line of rentiers waiting to pounce on inflated rent prices.

> On the other hand, the best example of widespread cleaned up easy to use linux we have in android or chromeos, well, ...

The new hybrid Android / ChromeOS systems like Samsung's Chromebook Plus are surprisingly useable as low-end laptops. Chrome is fully operational, and you have Google Docs. You also have the entire Android ecosystem, which gets you things like the Kindle reader. And I can confirm that Termux (https://termux.com/) works fine, so you can get a basic command-line without rooting the machine.

If you want a light, expendable travel system, or a gift for somebody who wants a computer that "just works", it's a surprisingly viable option.
Not everyone who is a good independent researcher is a good man-manager. For some people, researching independently -- or perhaps collaborating with a few other independents -- might be a better route than being forced to spin up a research group (and more-or-less-inevitably finding themselves with limited time to do the hands-on stuff themselves).
Interesting, but market cap isn’t everything - FTA:

"While Tesla’s market capitalization has swelled in size, Ford still overshadows the Palo Alto, California-based company in most other financial metrics. Over the last five years, Ford has posted net income totaling $26 billion, while Tesla has lost $2.3 billion. Last year, Ford had annual revenue of $151.8 billion compared with Tesla’s $7 billion.

And when it comes to car sales, Tesla sold 40,697 vehicles in the U.S. last year, according to researcher IHS Markit. Ford sells that many F-Series trucks in the U.S. about every three weeks."

It's really easy to make punchy-sounding arguments about why a certain field isn't as important to teach, so we should be rather reluctant to go along with them.

For example your argument about psychology could equally applied to almost any field and physics. "I feel the same way about (Computer Science|Biology|Chemistry) which to me is even more problematic as it is based on the premise that we can learn about (computers|life|chemicals) by studying (code|proteins|chemicals). Again it should be tied to something like quantum physics instead." In fact this argument makes no sense to me, why wouldn't studying human behaviour be the best way to learn about human behaviour?

Same for the argument about philosophy, it's too easy to assume something valuable a field produces is too amazing to ever be topped. "After [the light bulb] I really don't see what new revelations [about electricity] are going to be of fundamental value to society."

> Question is, how many people would just sit on their arses watching JK?

The people who are already two decades into a Jeremy Kyle binge-watch will likely not change their behaviour even under a UBI scheme, but at least their kids would have a chance to do something with themselves rather than continue the generational unemployment.

I think it's important for us t acknowledge that UBI won't solve every existing problem, and nor should it, but it could set up the coming generations for a much more productive and happier world.
Is it truly possible to have a solid understanding of the interface and its use, though, without having a reasonable insight into, at least, the likely implementation of something?

> The driver said he believed Tesla had violated Swiss data protection law by declining to send the raw data

Raw data might not help anything if there are no instructions on how to interpret it. There are two ways of hiding data: by not showing at all and by showing it in a flood of useless data, where it can't be seeing except if you know what you are looking for (and when there is only raw data and no manual, well, you can't make a good use of it).

Yes, having some data is better than none, but I don't expect it to be that helpful for a while.
I too, liked Sleepers. You will need to stock up on extra paper gasket, cork gasket (valve covers), hoses, fan belts, fuel pump diaphrams, oil, and somehow gasoline, although wood, coal, propane powered bugs were made during ww2. Oh, and vw bugs did have electronics that failed, the regulator. On a 65 it uses a generator (6 volt) and has the reg under the back seat, buy a few.

Personally, I would opt for the '67 for virtue of the sealed beam headlamps, 12v electrical (still a generator), and extra power (1500cc vs 1300cc). And for end times utility, a swing side bus would win out.

But I digress. Any pre-obd2 car is easily flashed with a eeprom and burner, or replaced by an aftermarket ecu. No reason to be stuck with a 'black box' in your more modern car.
