Large aircraft aren't generally allowed to fly low over cities unless they're taking off or landing from an airport. If a drone is going to be taking off and landing in residential areas, it'll necessarily be flying a lot lower. (I expect a lot of current drones might run out of battery before they could even reach 1000+ feet, where regular planes fly.) There's a lot of empty space in the sky, it's not hard to keep drones and Cessnas away from each other.

Laws won't stop people from flying drones where they shouldn't, but if caught they could be confiscated or the operators fined. If nuisance drones are a problem, we'll need "police drones" to chase them down and disable them. Sort of like how FCC regulations can't stop me from broadcasting a radio station on a frequency I'm not allowed to transmit on if I'm really determined to do it, but they can locate me, fine me, and generally give me strong incentives not to do it again.
It still is diff/patch based (and several people including Andrew Morton don't use Git, they use stuff like quilt). All of the code review is done on patches sent to LKML, git is only used as a merging mechanism for developers to manage their changes. And if you look at Patchwork and other things like that, they have an insane amount of tooling around tracking mailing list patches.
It will probably be much the same as it is today. Styles will go in-and-out of fashion(today: OOP is not cool; FP is hip), but in 25 years I for one will probably be typing ASCII characters into a text editor, debugging with logs & debuggers & print statements, and using a command line.

How would you fell if prices on amazon were higher for you than for others because of your income, residence or historical purchase data? With all the margins going to amazon instead of the sellers.

Evolution = Natural Selection. It's based on mutation of genes leading to a significant survival advantage over the existing species which in turn sees it's population go extinct like the neanderthals. First of all, meditation is a skill, not a genetic mutation. Second of all, there would need to be a massive disease or catalyst for it to even be possible for humans to evolve in a specific direction.
I personally view the feeling of satisfyingly right as the touch point begin empirical analysis. Given the amount of effort required to conduct a study, I wouldn't personally put forth the effort for anything that didn't feel satisfying right, as I'm sure most of our famous scientists of the past guided there own interests and motivations. You shouldn't be afraid of feeling ways about ideas, you should be afraid of becoming attached to a hypothesis, but you could still use an unproven hypothesis to guide your own life.
The term deep state has been around for a long time. It is the group of non-elected people who exert considerable influence from behind the scenes, and that remain from administration to administration. But whatever you want to call it, it is exactly the deep state that facilitates things like yesterday's $350B arms deal with Saudi Arabia.
Short term evolution over one's lifetime (getting better at swimming, getting better at coding, etc.) is a very different matter than a species evolution (changes so significant the next generations are a different specie).

The capacity to adapt to a new environment means different things in the context of day-to-day struggle or millions of years in a stable environment.

Homo sapiens sapiens is +/- 200 000 years old and has demonstrated an incredible adaptability but good luck evolving gills if oceans would rise 20 km in the next 25 years.

> It doesn't need to continue like this forever. It just means that, as opposed to earlier, the people in whom thought is too strong and uncontrollable are now the ones whose genes are removed from the gene pool, through mental illness and anxiety.

Mental illness and anxiety aren't necessarily genetic in nature and I am not quite sure there's such a thing as « genes being removed from the gene pool » in evolution (http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/misconcep_0...).
Evolution as a word has a specific definition and usage that you are misusing. You're being downvoted because in your comment, you seem to be implying that humans can through the "leveraging of emotions, beliefs, and actions" achieve evolution which is patently false, unless of course you're talking about some kind of 'cultural' evolution. But then you should specify that in your comment, because that isn't the context in which evolution is normally used.
I've been using Todoist. Now that I'm good with the keyboard shortcuts (including the quick-add from the desktop app), I find it to be a lot more effective than Evernote or OneNote was.
Amazon did try and user feedback was enough back in the day to make them stop - it wasn't the dominant retailer back then and users had much more power, so there's that.

Byw plenty other retailers already do or did adjust prices: Apple users are commonly targeted for being price insensitive.
It takes work to prevent things not just die due to oblivion and inactivity.

I had a bunch of Java applet computer games that ran for more than a decade but eventually were killed by applets becoming obsolete.

I ended doing the following:

1. Putting all code on github.

2. Making a series of youtube videos of the gameplay.

3. Writing a blog post.

Obviously this was a lot of work; but so was creating the games.

It felt good doing the "archive" of them even though no one else cares. I suppose it is a bit organising a box of old photos; makes you think about what you have been doing.
He appointed a person that was leaking information after leaking bodily fluids as the chief of CIA. And he got raised eyebrow and stern talking in return.

I wonder what traits will define the Facebook transcender like the Windows transcender [1] mentioned in PG's essay.

You can argue that since that essay (2005) the iPhone/iPad and Android and then eventually "all meaningful apps becoming web enabled" has mostly made Windows the last choice amongst the candidates rather than the first when it comes to selecting
personal computing devices. Right now, people who use Windows see it in the same way people see crusty old government bureaucracies - it is just one of those things you deal with because you have to, and move away from ASAP.

That's actually a scary scenario. I'd be stuck relying on my neighbors for "pirate" wifi which would be unreliable unless I was able to run some QoS and setup their router. If that failed I'd be SoL because I don't know how use HAM radio and access the packet network. What other options or ideas am I missing? Excluding the cell carrier network.
I think parent means to search it in reverse: split the pricing by class enough and eventually you'll find something that correlates. That's a quest for a modern ambulance chaser to be sure, but I can see some merit in it.
I'm pretty sure Amazon already does this - prices are different based on your location and purchase history at the very least. Sometimes its obvious but other times they will just push a different seller to the top of the list which effectively changes the price. You can chalk it up to their 'dynamic pricing' but it always seems to favor me over my wife (the majority of our purchases go through my account).
I write my notes in restructuredtext, and have them version controlled in. GitRepo. Spacemacs support for restructuredtext is as good as vim's. I can also edit my notes from the Web editor offered in GitLab, or GitHub.
Janelia farm sets its rule to make small labs from the beginning, and postdocs there get better pay and welfare, ie more money for each headcount. However they recently just downgraded some part of the welfare for postdocs. Also they kind of push for high impact papers, combined with they don't have a graduate school, they are more inclined to be small labs. But I also heard some people find ways to circumvent such limitation.
I hope they stick to subreddits that don't shadowban you for posting links to your own content.

Sure, but you wouldn't have played graphically impressive games on an xt either way cause CGA was the bottleneck rather than how much data you could fit on a floppy.

Anecdotally speaking I don't recall loading times were much of an issue on pc games at the time, unlike on some 8 bit platforms.
I read that Amazon in fact already does it, too. They price high-volume goods competitively, but niche products, not so much.
My understanding of evolution is we can change the overall makeup of our species through our actions and choices, such as C-sections leading to women having narrower pelvises over time.

This suggests collectively changing how we use our brains would lead to a society in which people who don't use their brains the same way could be less likely to thrive. Thus, they'd be selected against evolutionarily.

What part of this conflicts with your understanding of evolution?
> By 2013, China’s success in identifying C.I.A. agents had been blunted — it is not clear how.

If I can make a software analogy here, this is the least satisfying resolution to a bug in your program. Imagine a devastating but intermittent bug, that simply disappears after a period of time or after innocuous changes to your program. Not knowing what happened or how it "fixed itself" is very frustrating.

Alternate theory: The F.B.I. and the C.I.A. know exactly how they fixed it, but they won't tell The New York Times that part.
Reading between the lines, a lot of the mole suspicion seems to focus on ethnically Chinese CIA employees.
That's actually pretty interesting. I'd say that I hit a lot of those checkmarks, but I've never had problems making friends and developing deeper relantionships. On the other hand, I've had incredible difficulties developing my software engineering career because of my difficulties is trusting my employer and co-workers. I'd say I struggle to build relationships in competitive environments.
"not inherently evil"

The concept of the consumer surplus is the reason why capitalism is preferred over other economic systems such as feudalism or communism.

One price for all is a cornerstone of our social contract. Discarding it will place that contract in danger.

If all the profit in a trade goes to the robber barons, such trades will be rightly seen as unfair and calls for the revolution will become loud.
On our site, we just load AMP as a base experience, and load our other stuff on top of it if it's not served in the AMP browser.
So we get the initial render speed of AMP, along with the SEO advantages, and can still implement features not supported by AMP for the majority of our users.
Yeah but VGA wasn't popular until at least '90 and EGA probably not much earlier, around '88 maybe (before that you'd probably be more likely to have a c64 than a better-than-CGA PC compatible).

Most people didn't have state of the art computers, a PC AT with EGA & color monitor costed close to $10k in 1984 (1980s dollars!). Going to the mall to play on a color monitor was a thing kids were doing back then.

Can't speak much about Tandy as I think these were mostly only popular in America. In Europe you'd still be playing mostly in CGA well into the 2nd half of the 80s, and the only popular PCs until close to the end of the decade were cheap XT clones with CGA at most, or monochrome Hercules more commonly.

Anyway I'd concede that it would have probably made a big difference to graphics fidelity in the very late 80s or early 90s. But I think a lot of people forget that warp-speed improvement of PC hardware and plummeting prices were more a 90s than an 80s phenomenon - in most of the latter we were still in the flat stage of the S curve!
From the publisher side does anyone have data on AMP's impact on search rankings (to the original publisher - not Google :-))
When you use the "!g" bang operator, DDG is not anonymizing your search to Google. It is simply redirecting you to Google.

Stop blaming Apple. This is a crappy implementation that doesn't work well cross platform. There're plenty of ways to implement a static navbar that doesn't break mobile safari's scrolling behavior.
> CIA Agents are really foreign people reporting back

Definitely: "one was shot in front of his colleagues in the courtyard of a government building"

If you're running a US-agent embedded spy ring, your ring's members don't hang out together. They probably don't even know of each others' existences.
A separate execution environment for animation can help, but usually not for cases where your GC'd code needs to change the rendering in response to user input. A good example which falls down often is scrolling.
Propaganda being countered by propaganda. Nothing to see there.
Price discrimination in moderation can be a good thing for business health and society. If a business can detect that a person can afford to pay more for the service, then that additional inflow effectively subsidizes the service for people who can only afford using the service at the cheapest rates.
What uniquely distinguishes our species, more than anything else, is our ability to tell stories. From hunting a mammoth to constructing an atomic device, everything depends on our ability to believe in a common story.
Perhaps being in the moment allows are prospecting to consistently start from reality. Where if your lost in a maze of possible futures it's easy to keep going to different starting points and generating lots of trash timelines. Where if you are starting your imagination from this moment right now the tree is shorter and more grounded in reality.

That only works if:

1. Profits are capped.

2. The company cannot gauge or drop service to non-profitable customers.

Neither applies.
Awesome, let's hack webkit so that our hack of a product works.
I'd say the equivalent to the SF Bay Area surrounding area would be Seattle, Los Angeles, Portland, and San Diego. One could definitely argue those areas are even more vibrant than the combination of Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati Chicago, etc.
And also: Publish it.

Eventhough no-one will use it; this forces you (at least that's how I work) to make things look decent. Make sure you code actually compiles and it is complete.
Clearing the cache of possible timelines seems possible. Also filtering out input, what to focus on and what to ignore. Meditation also opens up new pathways of input from our senses, or guides us to existing pathways that we'd never noticed is a better way to express that. New input gives us new places to start predicting from.
> Apple is clearly doing the right thing here. They can't charge developers 30% to sell apps and content through their platform, then allow one developer to skirt the rule by calling it "tipping".
Tencent can just man up and pay the thirty percent like the rest of us have to do.

I think you're confused and you don't know what the case is about.

By the way, I didn't knew that Apple Developer Program was free? Guess what it is included in the yearly price.
Some studios had their own in house compression that was quite impressive at the time. I remember the amount of time our engine coders put into compression routines, it was a significant effort. That being said, I have no idea how it would stack up...
This blows a hole in Uber's claim that they're just a booking service that takes a cut. They're clearly a reseller, which makes drivers their employees.
Wish the article would like to the study that examined these schools
I agree that the intuitive feelings can be a good starting point for better analysis, but I don't then incorporate those ideas into my model of the world without verifying them to a sufficient degree of rigor. If the subject is something like, "what food is in this unlabeled tin can" then sufficient rigor is opening the can and then I can reasonably assume that the rest of the identical unmarked cans in the box it came from are probably more of the same. If the subject is, "how does the human brain work" I'm going to require a hell of a lot more investigation and evidence before I can say that a theory that I've come up with is correct. Extremely intelligent people have been working on this problem for many decades and while we've learned some things we're not yet anywhere close to understanding how the brain works in even animals with much simpler brains. Because of this, I am very skeptical of any theory I as a laymen could come up with regardless of how much research I read from scientists working in the field, and I certainly wouldn't consider a "feeling of satisfyingly right" as being meaningful at all in my consideration of what model is correct and which is not correct.

I'm also not "afraid of feeling ways about ideas", I just don't built my models of the world based on feelings unless I'm building a model of my feelings.
>to "live in the moment". But arguing that those who don't do so have mental illness and/or anxiety is a bit much.

In school I had a headmaster who was all about the importance of living in the moment (and related, nice-sounding advice). Naive as I was I spent too much time trying to figure out what is wrong with me until I eventually decided such people need not criticize the minds of young adults with selling this kind of bullshit.

To each their own and measure one another by the value they create, and how they treat others, not by some worldview such as this which basically blurs the line between philosophy/religion and science.
Have a lotta respect for Nic Harcourt. He gave our band and many other "unknown" bands a chance in KCRW. The guy is really open to new sounds and thats very rare these days
> I hypothesize that the source of most anxiety or nervousness stems from our brains making no correct predictions in that moment.

Since fight/flight behaviour is regulated by the amygdala and basal ganglia, you can say:

Anxiety stems from our amygdalae getting started up, because they sense a threat where none is, and effecting inappropriate behaviour thereafter.

Actually, the threat is often correctly sensed, it's just the behaviour (running away, attacking, feigning death/freezing) that's not useful in the modern world.

The therapeutically interesting question is how to change that.

Compared to the rational parts, those emotional mechanisms are much deeper and better wired to the rest of the brain. At the same time they aren't very sophisticated. Some people refer to them as "reptilian complex".

We can't adjust emotions directly and in general we have to wait much more time (think: weeks, sometimes months) to let new ideas like not being afraid of something sink into the subconscious.

But knowing and accepting that makes it possible to grow.

As far as I can see, Project Baltimore is just this organization's name for its articles on Baltimore issues. There was not any separate study.
If you haven't done much front-end word, let alone handled quirks of mobile browsers, consider listening to other people on this thread instead of arrogantly pontificating all around.
Navon Warren grew up in West Baltimore. He was three months old when his
father was shot to death. Before his 18th birthday, he would lose two uncles
and a classmate, all gunned down on the streets of Baltimore.

If Navon is in any way representative, I'm really not sure what they expect schools to do. The school only gets them for 35 hours a week, 8 months per year. Over half the school qualifies for free lunch, which I think is a standard poverty indicator (though crazily enough, half isn't high poverty! [1]). Not much of that sounds like a home life or environment conducive to learning. I'm guessing the school pays poorly too, combined with what sounds like pretty horrific circumstances for much of the student body, makes me guess they aren't getting the best teachers either...

Are you aware of any research on this subject? It seems very hard (if not impossible) to disentangle the damage of childhood sex caused by social expectations and cultural response from the innate damage of childhood sex. (Even without the obvious ethical considerations of any non observational experiment).

Intuitively, I find it hard to believe that there could be any significant innate damage to having sex as early as puberty (when "wild" humans would presumably start). I also do not see an innate mechanism for the age difference to cause significant harm.

It is also not at all obvious to me that prepubesent sex would present innate harm; but that, at least, seems plausible (although I still can not think of a mechanism of damage beyond influencing the child's sexuality; which is only a problem if you consider the new sexuality inferior.
They cannot. How can wagon wheel makers live in the age of the car? Their business model is defunct.

We outsourced our opinions and fact-finding to journalists for a few hundred years. Now that time has past. Journalists themselves have destroyed their own industry by producing a poor quality product. Maybe in future journalists will re-invent themselves as purveyors of pure factual reporting, and those that care about that kind of thing will pay for it. But it is a niche market. Democracy, decency, enlightenment and society will suffer of course. But those things were never guaranteed with any kind of real safeguards.
Nearly any cleaning supplies from my experience are much more expensive in Amazon than in a local store.

For example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J5HK3MY one can of Ajax (same size) costs $0.99 in Rite Aid.

Perhaps people who are buying cleaning supplies from Amazon are so used to it that they never visit local stores?
>One price for all is a cornerstone of our social contract. Discarding it will place that contract in danger.
