I think the reason for this (common) error is that we can only imagine the world through what it's like in our conscious experience of it. So when we think of some system processing information "about" the world, we're imagining what it is about in conscious-experience terms, which tends to hide what is difficult to explain.

What is it that is difficult to explain? We don't (currently) know of any phenomenon that is like (for example) what a sound sounds like to us.

The easiest technological species to detect for the longest time would be space-faring species that leave behind structures on airless moons. Note that even these traces aren't eternal. Micro-meteoroids and meteoroids will eventually erode even those.

You may be interested in NixOS' way. This is all what you need in your configuration.nix to get a webserver running with an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt, including automatic refreshes before expired and everything:

services.nginx = {

virtualHosts."example.com" = {
root = "/webroot";
enableACME = true;
};
};

You are 100% correct and it's actually 40 hours of mandatory community involvement. [1] Everyone around me just called it volunteer hours and I co-opted it. Thank you for pointing it out. :)

It is in fact called community involvement! It was my mistake.
It was much higher in the U.S. decades ago before the process started where the big companies cut employees and maximize profit for shareholders at the cost of everything else. The layoffs and offshoring alone reduced quality of life for many people. Then there's mega corporations like Walmart that can afford to pay people enough to pay their rent or buy food but intentionally don't. You'd see a bit more competition (and jobs) in mainframes, desktops or mobile if threats to incumbents didn't get hit with their patent or copyright suits. As in, legal monopolies designed to maximize profit of owner at everyone else's expense.

So on and so forth. The centralization of wealth and power into a rich few running a bunch of oligopolies provably harms the many in this country. Directly when there was immediate layoffs, low quality/security, bad services, etc. Then indirectly in long-term and network affects.
I mean, presumably, we could get "good enough" at agro-tech and then return everyone to option B, but with everyone just spending 5% of their time maintaining robots to grow themselves food and the rest doing whatever they like.

It's also a good way to push people onto alternate roads which may be more dangerous or go through a neighborhood. It's also a good way to get people to completely avoid your roads and make your city or town dry up and blow away along with anybody that your roads connect.

The question is: What's the goal?

Since my favorite scripting languages produced nothing of value in the last decade I started using hugo and don't care patching it. It just works.
Surgery might be a "one-off", but cancer surgery can be brutal. People with cancer who need surgery are often nutritionally depleted and surgery takes a big toll. Recovery time in the hospital could be weeks. Rehab, getting you back to where you can wipe your own ass and feed yourself, can take months.

It's not like you would just fly in, get cut and fly back in a week.

You would have to set up some kind of support system for yourself there, which would be very expensive.
That video does a good job of explaining the difference between negative placebo effects and illness. The article conflates actual mental illness with placebo effect. They are not the same, and telling someone who is suffering depression that it's all in their head is harmful, not helpful.

I find it humorous how we complain about how low income families are having such a hard time being trampled under foot by the out of control corporate greed. And here we are, complaining about. . .

Internet access that's only 768Kbps.

I mean, are you really still that poor if you can afford a smartphone, internet access, a computer, a wireless router and a cable modem? I've been to places in South Africa and Haiti where people are just happy to have clean water to wash their clothes and drink.

The notion that we are making a big deal out of this is absurd and laughable.

1. Jai is not even released.

2. Jai is a programming language, not a game engine.

Unity is slow because they are using an outdated C# implementation (some old Mono).
The problem with much of this advice is that all the difficulty is in the implementation. Like telling somebody the way to be healthy is to eat well, get enough sleep and exercise: knowing that is not sufficient to implement it successfully in general.

Knowing good habits to develop is much less than half the battle. I already have a pretty good idea what I should be doing, all the difficulty is in effective implementation. Progress is often two steps forward and one step back and dedicating time and other limited resources (money, willpower) to one area (e.g. health and fitness) can often conflict with progress in another area (e.g. time to work or socialize).

Knowing good habits is a good place to start but I'm much more interested in actionable advice to effectively develop and sustain good habits.
Coding without tests is amateur. Absolute rookie behavior. A codebase that leaves out tests should not be considered "exemplary."
Because you asked: Actually, I'm happy to give up a year or two of my lifespan in exchange for a much more urban lifestyle in a place a lot of our (wife and I) friends live. Assuming a regular lifespan somewhere into the 70s or so. I'd die earlier of boredom in a small town (I'm from one in India). Of course I might feel another way in ten years.

When I was driving to work, I felt that the stress would give me chronic stress issues, or make me drop dead one day at 40. That I am not ok with.
I spent time volunteering at a community service organization in San Jose, California, specifically focusing my time on their rental assistance program for local low income residents. The gist of the program was providing assistance with one month's rent to people who encountered some sort of emergency that would otherwise have left them homeless. My responsibilities included meeting with applicants for the program, understanding their emergency, working through a monthly budget with them to ensure they could pay their rent going forward, and verifying their story.

Having grown up in an upper-middle class family, I gained a whole different perspective on the struggles people face making ends meet. I've always been politically liberal, but my ability to empathize was categorically different after spending time volunteering at this organization.

Equally important, though related, was getting a better understanding of the needs of people in my local community.

I raise this issue here because many people on this site are transplants to tech hubs throughout the U.S. and worldwide and we often live in our little bubbles in our respective communities. I cannot stress enough the importance for all of us to learn about the communities in which we live, outside of our little bubbles, and offer our talents to improve the lives of residents of our local areas and make these communities better places to live.
Maple Valley still has infrastructure in place though I'm sure it's rotting away. I drive by there often when I'm back in 05301-land and it's haunting to behold. I think it's been for sale[1] for ... decades ... hard to imagine small hills like this ever being economically viable again. Even when I was a kid my peers chose to break their arms and legs at the more distant (and likewise defunct) Hogback Mountain.

its not hard, just don't name a new design app after an already existing one.
I think its because nginx was (and for most, still is) generational [compared to apache] in terms of core features and ease of configuration. I can see how caddy would be the next alternative though: more – "modern" if you may – features (money quote: built-in letsencrypt) but more importantly even simpler configuration.

edit: This is also where your use case makes it easy to see why nginx (or caddy) won't cut it.

Doesn't change my opinion much because I am not a domain expert in self-driving cars.

All this would do is make me question the nature of the data collected. For instance, is that 50 million miles of diverse roads and weather conditions or the same mile over and over again on a sunny day? Or were the human-driven cars equipped with contemporary collision-avoidance equipment or a motley representative assortment of cars from the past half-century?

What would sway me is auto insurers offering a discount for relying on self-driving car technology. I can wait patiently for that to happen.
The most effective thing, as shown in European cities, is to make it hard to speed. Have narrower roads that cannot be easily traversed at high speed. To see an example in the US, look at Center City Philadelphia. Outside a few major thoroughfares like Market Street, the roads are one way in each direction and very narrow. Walking as a pedestrian on Walnut (a major retail road) feels very safe.
This whole thing has a huge assumption behind it: That you're someone worth being connected to.

Yes, but not necessarily in the way that you mean. In trading, it's said that you make your money in the buying and not in the selling. In networking, you can go after the "hunted," which is basically buying high. If you already have the "funds" for that, it might even be the smart move. As a networker, you can also go after fellow "hunters." You can seek value which hasn't been widely recognized yet.

the most important thing you can do to become well connected is to be doing something that is worth connecting to.

It seems to me, that a good thing to do is to recognize the worth early. "Buy low," then sell high.
Quantum Suicide – Killing yourself for fun and profit
It isn't irrelevant in the slightest if their plan is to replace all these contract drivers with automated cars. That would in fact be a long term business strategy. Considering waymo's lawsuit for alleged theft and their large monetary investment in self driving I disagree with being utterly irrelevant.
Such individuals are often chosen to be on the board for their experience and networking prowess.

It's quite true that testing their mental faculty would be a challenge. Therefore the decision could simply lie with other board members based on their observations of his behaviour and the direct contributions he makes to the company.
I repealed your argument before the accusation of your own willingness to punish others in pursuit of your ideology merely highlight your own hypocrisy. There is no subtlety there.

Please do yourself a favor and read this for a while instead. Taking bits of statute in isolation and extrapolating from them is a Bad Idea, and if ou ever get sued it will impair your ability to understand your own case. I've seen what that looks like close-up and it's not pretty.

I think more in line with the article, if you found a street-light where 85% of people ran it, there is something wrong with the red-light, and it should be removed.
Red light cameras increase accidents because people speed up if they think they are even slightly close to the limit.

Think of it this way, which changes behavior getting a ticket in 4-6 weeks by mail or having a cop pull you over today. Or worse watching someone get a ticket, or possibly noticing a flash and having no idea what it's from.
So would I but I think it's important to avoid just using what our current selves want/would do in discussions on what would make happy humans. We're products of our environment. Modern humans would be fucked (and unhappy) if magically transported back 20 000 years myself included, as I believe humans 20 000 years ago would be if transported to now. What's more is that there's an issue of extrapolating what is best for a society as a whole from the wants of the individual even without the differing time period. I or any other person may want a billion dollars but if everyone was suddenly given a billion dollars that wouldn't be a net gain, it'd be an economic catastrophe.

I'm not even 100% on this theory and it's one of my least researched so there's plenty of room for someone to come and slay me with data but I think the discussion definitely needs to come from a place of "pre-agricultural humans living their pre-agricultural life while ignorant of modern life" compared to "modern humans living their modern lives", rather than one of "well why don't you just go live in a forrest if you like it so much!?"
Depends where in the US. You're unlikely to set your cruise control and leave it in a big city, unless it's late night/early morning.

Outside of the big cities, it can be much more relaxing. I drove across the mid-west and did the same as you. Drive at 70-80 mph and not take the cruise control off for hours.

This is a civil suit, the district attorney is for felony trials. Levandowski definitely seems to have committed a felony. What usually happens in these sorts of cases, from what I have read, is that the civil suit takes place first and establishes the facts, and then the felony trial takes place based on them.
I use Material UI for a few projects, and like it a lot.

Nope, definitely not the case. Seen the inside of many big companies who have top tier security teams. None that I've seen have veto and none can block shipping. The best they can do is escalate, and the business owner gets to decide if they want to ship or not.
If we interpret "the power" in this case to refer to bargaining power, then oddly enough, the Internet has been the worst thing for mail-order brides (and their less-remote equivalents, "sugar babies.")

Look at a "regular" dating site: there are far more active male users than female, the men send almost all the messages, and the women reply to nearly none of them.

Now look at one of these mail-order bride "dating" sites, or, equivalently, a "sugar-baby" site like SeekingArrangement—where, in either case, the men come pre-qualified as having money and being willing to give that money to the women: now, on these sites, there are far more active female users than male, the women send almost all the messages, and the men reply to nearly none of them.

When you take non-wealthy men out of the dating pool, suddenly there are few enough men left that supply-and-demand forces women to compete over men. Which puts them in a much weaker negotiating position than they would be otherwise.

Even some of the bigger mountains are struggling. Saddleback, in Rangeley, ME has shut down, and Sugarloaf, also in northwest ME, is not doing that great.
I didn't say that it does. But it seems to be an important addition to the claim that "Pakistan has a system of laws that is based on the British system". Hudood Ordinances are certainly not based on the British system. And they're a big part of the problem being discussed here.
I imagine they will figure out ex-utero in a couple of decades. Our understanding of genetics will improve too.

I imagine an underground bunker somewhere growing babies in tiny pods in 1000's. Those babies are in pods until full adult hood and an artificial process is injecting memories and skills into the brains of this pod babies.

Bonus brownie points if there is a pod cluster on an alien space. A billion super humans that land on earth who were all manufactured in transport.

Do they treat humans like we treat cows pigs and chicken?
> And even at the historic lows, numerous studies suggest fatality rates would be even lower if we'd stuck to the national 55/65 speed limits.

Evidence, please.

We did this experiment and the evidence is against you.

Fatalities did not significantly increase for any of the states that increased their limits after the 55mph thing ended and there was some weak evidence that they went down.
I will have to disagree with the previous answers. You don't have to WRRITE code to stay up to date. You can READ one or more books about programming. That's what I do, and it is a thousand times more efficient than simply writing code just for the sake of it, because you get to learn new stuff in the process.
No one uses Windows mobile, that comment was hardly fair. Pretty sure Android is 80%+ share.
> Are knowing obscure algorithms like this any test of a person's programming ability ?

No, it is not. Knowing what a priority queue is is a reasonable expectation; knowing the monotone variant is not.

Unfortunately, far too many empathy-deaf programers get to interview candidates. They think that maintaining the company's reputation for having a hard interview process will work in their favor - no "undesirable" candidate get through under MY watch! - unaware of the long-term ill effects such stupid questions have on their profession.

"Hire programers smarter than you" seem to be interpreted as "ask more obscure things than what you were asked". :(

Sorry should've elaborated. I know there are UWB RFID tags in NFL player shoulder pads. I was also under the impression that the ball itself is tracked. Is this not the case?

I imagine a football is easier to sneak sensors into than a cricket ball though. Restrictions of the ball itself. Which I realize now that you call it out.
