So you like the fact that the police know exactly where and when you drove? Because the licence plate tracking cameras require that, you know.

Also, the notion that there is some universal speed limit that makes driving safe on a particular road is silly.

Two scenarios with speed limit of x:
1) sunny day, brand new porsche, new tyres. I'm driving at a sped of x+5
2) windy, snowy day, nissan sunny from the 80s with almost worn out tyres. I'm driving at x-5

Pick the safer one. I doubt anyone would think option 2 is safer, yet 1 is illegal and 2 is perfectly fine.

On TV, claiming any of your legal rights means you're guilty - and trying to get away with it. Many people assume this also applies to the real world.

On top of my head of apps I use more or less daily. Xcode, Hazel, DragonDrop, 1Password, DayOne, Alfred, KeyboardMaestro, LINE, DaisyDisk, Sketch, Hopper, Fantastical 2, SnappyApp, BetterTouchTool and so on.

Some may have equivalents (but I'm sure nothing as polished) or will run under Wine but I have bad experiences with both.

There are also workflows that take advantage of macOS features (e.g. location service) that wouldn't work on Linux I guess.
The way I'm reading it here he's referring to the Mac Pro he didn't buy.:

"The spec I was going to go for was an 8-core model, with 32 gigs of RAM, a 1 TB flash drive, additional external storage, two D700s"

Unless I missed something.

Also, I've often wondered who needs a 700+ watt power supply? How many video cards, drives, CPUs, etc etc could that handle?
Kind of hijacking the thread, but what's the best software for running graphical VMs on top of a Linux desktop? (i.e. a Parallels equivalent)

I tried setting up MacOS through Qemu/KVM (using these instructions [0]) and it installed pretty much fine. I don't have a spare graphics card or monitor for VFIO, so I tried running it in a window, but the mouse and keyboard capturing was really finicky, so it was completely unusable.

It is a speed /limit/, it absolutely does also require you to make judgements for yourself, but not to drive above that speed.

It would be unreasonable (& annoying) to have different speed limits for every different corner/stretch of road. There's also considerations such as the weather & lighting conditions to take into account (& while I have seen signs on motorways for variable speed limits based on those in Europe, you cannot expect every case to be covered).
There's observational evidence of something. Dark Matter is just the place holder for the something.
When we use this language, coming from English, Spanish or Dutch or whatever, we have that as reference. If you would use this language truely, I guess it would mean that you start to think differently about the objects. Maybe the difference between train and car is not that important anymore.
Despite your sibling comment being more convincing, I rather prefer this explanation :).

I've heard a similar tale about 'wisdom tooth'. The story goes that it's a translation of the Dutch 'verstandskies'. 'Kies' means tooth (molar?), and 'verstand' can mean 'far-standing', so referring to the position of the tooth.

However, because 'verstand' more commonly means 'mind', it was mistranslated.

Now, Germans also use the 'wisdom' version, and Belgians use 'wijsheidstand', where 'wijsheid' is another of wisdom, so probably this story is incorrect. Many of us Dutchies still choose to believe it, however, and so we just have to conclude that both the Germans and Belgians are just kind of silly for making the same mistake.
If there is noone nearing the finish line, noone is late. It very well might be that the flagship self driving company does not even exist yet. The road to almost as good as a human is much shorter that the road to being unquestionably superior to human drivers. As a motorcycle rider, even the best systems are quite poor as of now where my safety is concerned. Apple has plenty of time, and money, to catch up if they choose a good strategy.
There was an Ubuntu thread some weeks ago that seemed to paint a pretty good picture of Linux pain points.
This comment is utter nonsense. First off, how is that any different from enforcement from a cop? Secondly, why do we have to wait until someone actually causes an accident? Breaking the speed limit, driving drunk, running red lights isn't bad enough?

Yes, with the caveat that TLS 1.3 is not finished. So nobody (including nginx) has a completed TLS 1.3, but they all have drafts which are presumed to be close to the final thing.

Builds of at least Firefox and Chrome / Chromium with TLS 1.3 exist in the wild if you're interested in testing this out.

In particular you should look at this if you have middle boxes such as a "transparent" TLS proxy or "traffic inspection" feature in a corporate or educational network. It is very likely these boxes have defects regarding TLS 1.3 because all of them are garbage built by idiots. If you find out early you might be able to plan for what to do about that before the proverbial impact with a fan.

I have cycled routinely on roads with speed limits greater than this. The first that comes to mind is Madison Ave in Sacramento (often 50mph+). For that matter I used to have a commute that took me on a brief stretch of I-5 in San Diego - that was hair-raising, to say the least. It's legal there due to lack of other options.
BenjaminTood, thank you for this guide. It definitively paints a picture where society is heading.

Naturally comes the question: Where does the guide
guide you to? To what person does it guide you?

Everything about this reminded me of the movie The Ticket, where the previously truly blind main character becomes blinded by the superficial in his pursuit of "The Successful Life".

What world is this, in which every human interaction happens in background of some kind of utility function?

In the end we all want to be happy, right? Numerous studies find, that 'the most salient characteristics shared by students who were very happy and showed the fewest signs of depression were "their strong ties to friends and family and commitment to spending time with them." ("The New Science of Happiness," Claudia Wallis, Time Magazine, Jan. 09, 2005).' [1]

I'm very sorry to say this: sadly enough, it's not how good you perform, but where you are born, what has the biggest impact on your career. [2]

From the About page of 80000hours:

high-impact careers.

We do this by providing career advice for talented
young people who want to have a social impact.

Maybe that's the main problem here? "[Having] little idea what to do". Being raised as sheep doesn't really teach you, how to stand for your own ideals.

I know. What I'm trying to say is, you're not asking them to change the contract for you. You're asking them to change the contract for both of them.

If you ask a prospective employer to remove any clauses that say "Any work done during employment is ours" then why should they bother? They put this clause in to a) avoid being the funder for work that doesn't benefit them and b) Ensure you don't steal other company resources.

If you suggested "Can we please add a clause that states any work done outside of contracted hours using resources not directly owned by the employer shall remain the property of the employee" that would seem much more reasonable.
Some of it, maybe. There was some talk about lack of work in rural America over the last election cycle.
Does the stats endpoint reflect stats for all processes?
Agree, and I'd like to add that I know at least two companies in the Netherlands where the 'actual work' in innovation is done at big chemical plants in the south-east of the country, but patenting and other administrative stuff however is done at the company HQ in Amsterdam, the capital.

This will probably be counted in their "Amsterdam-Brussels-Antwerp" statistic, but no real-life innovation has taken place there.

The other side to this story is that non-Europeans would probably still consider this place part of the "Amsterdam-Brussels-Antwerp" axis since it is only 100km outside of it, while for Dutch people this is 'the other side of the country' and thus, considered far away.
One problem I have with memory-managed languages for writing high-performance-code is that you need to give up the simplicity of not having to care about memory management. You need to know exactly how the garbage collector in this specific language (and current version of the language) works, and how to build your code around that. The resulting 'mental burden' is the same or even bigger as in C or C++, and the resulting code often looks worse then C++ code which does the same. An extreme example of this is asm.js, much higher performance than typical JS since it only uses numbers, not JS objects (and thus basically removes the need for garbage collection), but so much different from manually written JS that it is basically a different language.

As for smart pointers in C++: they are only useful in a code architecture that essentially emulates C# or Java (all objects as single entities on the heap) using C or C++ in such a "memory-managed style" really doesn't make much sense since it will be slower then a GC. The point about manual memory management is to reduce dynamic allocations as much as possible and have all your data either on the stack or in long-lived, big memory chunks. If you need to allocate and deallocate all the time, or track the ownership and lifetime for every little memory chunk, you're not using C/C++ to its advantage.

PS: C# for tools is great though (not so much because of the language, but because of the standard framework, which is much nicer than the C++ stdlib).

Thank you, but for my experience (spoke with some lawyer) while this is legally true(no min investment required) it's really hard that they accept your request with only $14k-20k invested in your business in 2017.

A differing five cents:

Germany is the best country in the world in which to drive.

Drivers are trained well. They look before they turn. THEY DON'T USE THE LEFT LANE AS A CRUISING LANE - they move over, pass, and return to the right lane. They use their turn signal.

You can go very, very fast in situations where it's warranted. In situations where it's not, people slow down. As someone who walks, rides a bike, and enjoys not being deafened by road noise in towns, this is good.

My experience driving has primarily been California, Ireland, and Germany, and Germany has been _far_ superior to the other two.
I instinctively get that thought whenever I work with C#. It's really nice but would it kill them to at least offer simplistic memory management semantics?

That was an interesting read; he wasn't even very confrontational there. The point was also solid - they had an internal performance optimization change which was unproven, yet broke things in the real world. That, and the lack of guidelines or tests for what kind of usage results in the behaviour, it's a de-facto "feature" of the interface that they should not break.

I like this a lot - a nice balance of strongly evidence-based ways of being happier and more productive, and a summary of more anecdotal (but likely still useful) self-help techniques. To those kvetching about the latter, I think they're still valuable - particularly as it saves me wading through hundreds of self-help books for the occasional gem.
They hadn't done any testing during the kickstarter, and even if they had saying it was fine for anyone to use (the original recipe contained known allergens) and that it puts you into perfect health are clearly bullshit.

Some things don't compare well. Unfortunately, fee systems are some of those things. I just looked up Etsy because 3.5% commission seems unrealistically low (credit card fees are easily higher):
https://www.etsy.com/help/article/136

Turns out, they have several other fees on top. So it's not only 3.5%, it's actually $2.4 a year per item. Add to that the credit card fees of minimum 3-4.4% + $0.25 per sale.
On top of this, you need to add the shipping fees, currency conversion fees and each platform have their own particular setup.

This all goes to show that you can't just randomly pick fees out like that. The total cost to the user needs to be considered.

Slightly off-topic, but one of Ryszard Kapuściński's African reportages had an amusing story of traveling with a driver who only knew two (2) words in English. The words were listed as:

Problem
No problem

Armed militia ahead ? Problem. It looks like they're going to let us pass ? No problem. Low on fuel ? Problem. Shelter found ? No problem. Storm is coming ? Problem. The remaining communication was done by hand waving (a snake, etc), watching his darkening or lightening facial expression, body language, various gestures.

No, it wasn't expressive at all, but it got the job done. Ryszard traveled where he wanted, the driver got paid.

Having said that, this is a win either way. It teaches all of us about rigorous science, it allows far-fetched ideas to be taken somewhat seriously as long as there is some sort of experimental evidence, and it provides a forum for practicing scientists and interested laymen to cross-pollinate.

There is another factor (human) that is not taken into consideration about accidents.

Just like the recent discussion about "troublemakers", 90% to 95% of drivers are - with different levels of driving competence - OK.

It is the remainining 5%, maybe 10%, that create most of the issues, directly or indirectly, that is not only speeding, it is often distraction, aggressivity at the wheel, etc..

One of the reasons why "black boxes" that record driving habits are not as common as they could or should be, besides of course the usual privacy risks, is that everyone is afraid if the data that would come out of them.

If all drivers were monitored it would likely come out that a small minority (the said 5% or so) should simply be deprived of the right to drive any vehicle (no insurance would ever cover them, as insurance is about risks, not about certainties) and this would break quite a few "social contracts", including the unwritten one in which there is a "right to drive" (because our cities and lives are organized in such a way that a car is needed to commute, to take kids to school, etc.).
