So on my ad-supported site that does not ask users where they are from, I will have to put a geo-ip filter to keep EU people off in order to avoid fines? Otherwise, do we accept that statements like "we'll have to respect the laws of the countries we do business in" is a bit generic and over-reaching in a global medium? I have not read the proposed law and I trust this situation is covered, but I am still annoyed at every region having so many of it's own internet rules (not EU specific, goes with them all). Granted explicit business w/ explicit customers giving explicit monies in nation-backed currencies does make it easy to follow this law, but not everyone's business is like this.

I'm not saying that IQ and work ethic are linked, but rather that both are things that are to various degrees outside your control: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/to-predict-succes.... Whether it's biological factors (e.g. there are measurable differences in the brains of violent offenders), environmental factors (lead), or nurture, by the time someone has reached the age of moral culpability, I'm not sure how much control they have over what we call "work ethic" or "self discipline."

Would you rather that nations didn't spy on each other? I wouldn't. Effective spying helps prevent war, and lack of intel leads to wars.

If the British had had better intel they would never have invaded Afghanistan to repulse an imaginary Russian annexation. If intel had been listened to, instead of deliberately ignored/fabricated by Bush we wouldn't have invaded Iraq because of imaginary WMDs. If Kennedy hadn't actively understood the intel on Cuba, and just left it to the fears of the generals, the US would have invaded Cuba. The biggest fear of the Warsaw Pact is that the West would invade -- which was the West's fear also -- to the point that a lack of intelligence on Western force movements almost resulted in a counter-premptive invasion.

So maybe nations are fictions, but they are pretty powerful ones that most people are happy to roll with, and that makes the consequences real. These same people can agree on a set of collective norms that control who/what/where can be surveilled.

The propaganda that there are many ISIS terrorists embedded in Western nations is the key lever which will be used to transition from military/national intelligence to the surveillance state. This can't be won by railing against the NSA, but by countering (islamic and fascist) extremism, false reporting and propaganda.

And yet in the mean time we are being outflanked by traditional nation state adversaries using strategic propaganda campaigns. And they won't hesitate to spy on us. I want NSA(/GCHQ/DGSE/8200) working hard to prevent that, instead of navel gazing illegal programs about spying on environmentalists/unionists/politicans.

>It's not about "copying what you like" it's about "finding yourself first"

That's not what I got from the essay. PG is actually saying that a lot of works out there are blessed by the authoritative elites as good and worthwhile but what you actually like and enjoy is also authoritative as well. Rather than get sidetracked on what others think is important, what you truly like can be a better guide to avoid wasting time.

Therefore, the things you like may not necessarily change over the years (e.g. always liked Harry Potter) but your self-confidence in holding that opinion is now solidified (e.g. I now know that liking JKR "Harry Potter" more than Joyce's "Ulysses" doesn't mean there's something wrong with my brain. If I choose to write my own novel, I won't feel inadequate just because my writing style is closer to JK Rowling rather than James Joyce.)
Uncertain that it enables encrypted send and receive. It very likely decrypts to get it into the send format, and then is reencrypted on the receive side. Those are separate file systems so it's not certain that they share, or even should share, the same encryption key.

Update: Ahh well it helps to whole article before posting. Both encrypted and decrypted send/receive are possible. But this also suggests multiple keys per pool, a key per file system I guess?

I agree storage is required if we continue to have flat rate power charges for users, but implementing variable power pricing for consumers it reduces the need for storage and is really over due. IE power should be cheaper on windier days with moderate temperatures. Expensive if it suddenly gets hot and cloudy. And users should know what the rates are.

Users smart enough to change their electricity consumption eg night rates - they need more information to improve even more. Smart appliances will soon follow.

I AM a Python beginner, and I was amazed recently to discover that there was no way for me to assemble an executable for an OS I'm not on that didn't involve buying a computer running said OS.

I'm on Win10, and pyinstaller made it easy to create an .exe for Windows, but I could find no way on Earth to assemble an executable for Mac.

As it happened I just asked a tech-savvy colleague on a Mac to use pyinstaller on their machine, and it worked, but still - I'm really impressed with Python generally, but this seems like a surprising and considerable oversight.

Sure, Python is not a very functional language and will never be. I liked Python a lot in the past, and still use it as quick tool, because I know it well and its simplicity for practical usage is hard to beat, but the future of SW development is something more like Haskell, in my view.

What I meant was that the author complains that Python does encapsulation badly, because it doesn't have private/public. But that itself is, IMHO, an obsolete view which ignores functional programming.

No, not the same at all. Selling knives comes with the knowledge there is a certain amount of known danger - selling hot coffee at the temperature McDonalds served back then wasn't generally known it could cause such burns by the general public.

The case was remarkable in part because McDonalds knew that a certain percentage of customers would be severely injured, they worked out the percentages and assumed it would be ok.

McDonalds in fact at the time required coffee to be served at 188-90 degrees F (88 degrees C), which will scald in 3-5 seconds; most coffee shops serve it at 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) which increases burn time to 20 seconds.

In fact, the attorneys found that McDonalds knew about this problem already and over 500 people had been scalded already; they had paid out $500,000 in the year of the case alone.

I didn't say "perfect" I said "very well designed". I don't think perfect exists. My statement also was strictly about the languages themselves.

The main cause of dryer fires is lint buildup resulting from poor maintenance, cleaning, or installation, from what I understand. Built up lint is an ideal material for starting a fire. I suppose if you added some sort of sensors, you could make a smart dryer that demands to be cleaned before running if it detects a significant buildup. Might be able to largely mitigate the risk, barring active user circumvention. I'm just spitballing, though.
>The vast majority of philosophers are not good writers.

I never understood this claim. I have to assume that people are letting their judgement of the content affect the judgement of the writing style. Plenty of canonical philosophers were absolutely beautiful writers - Plato, Hume, Nietzsche. Modern analytic philosophers are almost fanatical in their adherence to simple, straightforward language. The result might not be beautiful, but I certainly don't think you can call it "bad" either. Some philosophers may be bad writers (Hegel is a pain), but on the whole they seem to be mostly good writers. It's all that they do, after all.

>After all, giants are giant for a reason.

Well... are they? All of them? I think you can make this claim with a good deal of confidence about math and science, because we have a pretty strict set of rules for evaluating good and bad work. But do you really think that everyone in the artistic canon has a good reason to be there? What about all the still-living artists who have only recently been "canonized" via a flurry of academic attention (writers like DeLillo and Pynchon would be good examples). Are we confident that we'll still be talking about those guys 200 years from now? If not, how far back in time do we have to go before we can confidently say, "these giants have a reason to be giants?"

I'm not endorsing pure aesthetic relativism, nor am I saying that none of the canonical artists deserve to be there. I'm just saying that I've never heard a convincing explanation of why the canon is a good judge of, well, anything.
Yes. The plan is for this tone the same across all OpenZFS platforms. How long it takes to be adopted by the others is another story though.
That honestly sounds like a very poorly written decorator to me. I work with Django professionally and have been for years now. I'm not going to say I know the framework like the back of my hand, but I'm pretty damn close. Django already supplies the request object to every single view regardless of whether or not the view is class or function based. Why you would need a decorator to replicate existing functionality is beyond me. It's possible that the decorator was created for an older version of Django that was missing some important part of the request object, but I can't for the life of me figure out what that would be.

Alan Jacobs has a pithy overview of Morton, and the following is taken from a recent post on Morton by him:

This strategy of employing familiar language in unfamiliar contexts gives the appearance of being radical but may not be quite that. It strikes me as being largely a reversal of Skinnerian behaviorism: the behaviorists said that human beings are nothing special because they're just like animals and plants, responding to stimuli in law-governed ways; now the object-oriented ontologists say that human beings are nothing special because animals and plants (and hammers and black holes) all possess the traits of consciousness and desire that we have traditionally believed to be distinctive to us. The goal of the philosophical redescription seems to be the same: to dethrone humanity, to get us to stop thinking of ourselves as sitting at the pinnacle of the Great Chain of Being.

It's hard for me to take Morton too seriously because our ( by which I mean his and mine ) Metaphysics are so diametrically opposed. Hyperobjects are so ontologically complex as to give the feeling they have been invented solely to justify the philosopher's pre-existing beliefs ( though in fairness, you can write that about a lot of things ).

No, in (almost) all other mainstream languages you have some kind of block-end block-start markers. {} or begin end or whatever the language uses. Significant whitespace was considered a bad idea in days long past but that lesson was forgotten.

So Python has ... nothing. I program a lot in Python but this is one headache I could have done without. It also always makes me read a little bit further than I have to when looking at some block of code because you never know that something else might follow until you drop that indentation level back down. So now you have to count indentation levels.

Sure. And email is circa 50 years old. At this point, given how distributed it is, it's basically impossible to change. It was not designed for the modern environment, so people have compensated with culture.

Slack, however, is new, centrally controlled, relatively easy to change, and frequently updated. So the email analogy doesn't apply at all.

> Large industrial machinery. Data centers. Manufacturing

The good thing is these loads are relatively constant and predictable. One reasons electricity is expensive is the peak loads are much higher than a regular day - you need a power station (or storage) on standby for that hot day when everyone suddenly runs their AC continuously all afternoon.

>Electrified transportation

This is different and a good opportunity that the article talks about. Esp a plugin hybrid could charge on windy sunny days and not charge in the peak times as above.
Yeah, i think renaming it to Positive/Negative Signal should reduce some pressure. For you to optimally determine how the news really impacts on the price, you'd have to monitor several channels/chatgroups/reddit forums and feeds of several cryptogroups to see whether they are affected. Too much work, and i doubt even machine learning will be helpful in this scenario.

I love how people like to explain things to me as though a wikipedia article presents something over actual knowledge and experience.

Iceland has a very divisive political system at the moment. The ruling government has been a coalition of the Progressive and Independence parties, roughly the european versions of the social conservative and pro-business factions of the Republican party respectively. Though it should be said that no one in Iceland really touches quite how regressive American social conservatives are. And, of course, being (sort-of) Scandinavian, there's a massively strong Social Democrat/Pirate/Left-green contingent in the Reykjavik area that can't stand the agenda of the main ruling parties.

Iceland doesn't function because they manage to get people to agree more than Americans do. There are something like 13 political parties in an average election, and they stand in bitter opposition to one another across a huge variety of issues. Iceland functions because they make their government function anyway. Nothing about being small makes it easier for two opposing parties to somehow figure out a way to get the damned bills paid. You could replace the entire American republic with Donald Trump and Barack Obama, and we'd get no more done than we do today, because the government isn't trying to solve problems. They're trying to preserve whatever problem is most plausibly the fault of the other party.
I think that is unlikely.
