> It's not the caller's fault here, it's the incorrect implementation.

I agree. But then this shows that it's possible to write "safe" Rust code that only calls "safe" external code and still (to a first approximation) have the possibility of undefined behavior showing up at any point. In other words, Rust's famous static, compiler-enforced guarantees are not guarantees at all, more like firm promises.

Nothing wrong with that; it's easy to write memory-corrupting code in other safe-by-default languages like Haskell or OCaml as well. But it seems like Rust's marketing materials do try to suggest otherwise, and many people get wrong impressions (look at the first post in this thread, and the other comments on this article saying that Rust's "safe" code is 100% free from undefined behavior).
The author is trying to make an argument that it should have been done by the original researchers - since the implied conclusion is impossible and thus wrong, they shouldn't have been allowed to publish the study with this conclusion without a proper interpretation; and even though he might have some interpretations, what matters is that it was their job to produce them and include them in the paper.

Quoting OP, "It is up to authors to interpret the effect size in their study, and to show the mechanism through which an effect that is impossibly large, becomes plausible. Without such an explanation, the finding should simply be dismissed."
reduce the regulatory and tax burden faced by small repair shops. Increased competition and lower overhead costs will drive down prices.

I think manufacturer hostility to third party repairers is a much bigger burden than state-imposed overhead. It's not like all manufacturers are super-open and eager to share the schematics of their products with hackers, is it?
Don't think there is much rationale behind all these models. It's more like P(would buy a vacuum | bought a vacuum) > P(would buy X | bought a vacuum) where X is a single product. Now P(would buy a vacuum | bought a vacuum) < sum(P (would buy X | bought a vacuum)) for X that is not a vacuum, but what would be the recommendation? Hey, you bought a vacuum, come back and buy some non-vacuum stuff?

For most recommendation UIs, you would need a hero item that make people want to click on. It might turn out that another vacuum is probably the best item for some people to click on, and go on to buy other stuff once they are on the site.
I absolutely hate that you can't have unused variables in Go, or that you can't have unreachable code in Go or Java. It makes the already tiresome work of debugging significantly more frustrating.

They are remembered because they were quite good. We also remember the "Sound of Music" from the same era, and it's anything but anti-establishment.

But my points wasn't that ALL movies were like that, but that far more movies were like that. The 60s had a whole counter-culture, anti-establishment and protest movement that's not the same as the 80s (decade of the self, yuppies) and 90s or even today (identity politics and conservatism battling it out).

Decades do have a character and certain tendencies or fashions if you like, including in the arts.

Re: Brainfuck in education, it's not about unfamiliarity, it's about time-to-grasp-core-idea, and number-of-other-ideas-you-need-to-understand-first. You really want to minimize those.

Specifically in teaching asm, you want your students to reach as fast as possible the state where they completely wrap their head about all the details and edge cases of the machine. Brainfuck is a really simple machine, very easy to hold completely in your head. Even the simplest RISC processor that can do anything real would require you to first understand binary, hex, two's complement, the idea and implementation of a stack, and so many more things...

Imagine the case where button color is embedded into the implementation of every component. If a UX designer decided that the new apps' brand will be partly new button colors - congrats, you'll have to change every button component instead of a single line of CSS.

Fully encapsulating components is one thing, especially if their encapsulated implementations use shared stylings under the hood. Anything else is repetitive copy-pasta that will be difficult to maintain.
I'm simply pointing out that if you'd like to imagine a world where the ADA doesn't exist perhaps you can help yourself to a $500 plane ticket and say fly to Japan or Europe. I was mainly responding to your hyperbolic statement that the disabled could go to "a restaurant".

You'll find that the disabled have plenty of options, it's definitely not the case that if you don't say enforce wheelchair accessibility for seating areas that there are no restaurants around to accommodate the disabled.

But you do get a lot of hole in the wall places of a type I simply haven't seen in the US, e.g. what would be a very small take-away restaurant in the US, but with a ceiling high enough to have an upstairs floor accessible through some very steep set of stairs to get to a seating area.

That's what I mean by society being poorer for it. It's not a choice between waiving a magic wand to make everything wonderful for the disabled or not. Complying with what amounts to onerous building codes can cost a lot, and often that cost is so high that the establishment isn't viable anymore.

As mentioned - yes, this very well could be a legit problem! I don't mean to dismiss this employees' claims lightly. With the person Musk is though, I bet he sees it as a petty "human" distraction towards getting his larger goals for humanity. That doesn't excuse the way he handles it, but just gives perspective on his response. He seems to be a little bit of a robot sometimes - I don't think human empathy is his strong suit.

I agree attacking women or anyone is stupid in general. Instead, hear the person out and promise to investigate. Then take action if necessary and if not, share the facts. I don't think anyone can disagree with that course of action but hotter heads prevail sometimes on short notice like this.

1 Mbit/s is a problem? This communication network we're currently using started out at just 300 b/s, 3000x lower bandwidth. When speeds got up to 2.4 Kb/s, it really started to take off.

The bandwidth back than was more than adequate to handle a website like Hacker News, and the store-and-forward protocols that were developed back then to preserve bandwidth, like SMTP and NNTP, will probably come back into play for a Mars/Earth link. Any video would need to be highly compressed and low quality by today's standards, but in the 50s and 60s TV was far lower quality than it is today and served its purpose just fine. Audio recordings for voice messages likely would be just fine without any quality reduction.

When using a better receiving antenna and demodulators and stuff and extending the range to 3000m, maybe you start to see the problem?

As EEVBlog has shown many times, road surfaces are an extremely impractical place to put solar panels on. It needs to be kept clean to work efficiently, and you also need to make a surface with similar friction properties as asphalt, which is not easy when it needs to be transparent and durable enough to take cars and trucks driving over it constantly.

Of course if you meant something like panels on the side of the road, or roofs, or something like that then that's fine, those installations would just be pretty standard solar panel installations. But covering the road surface itself is just a bad idea that would require a significant engineering effort and massive cost to work to any degree at all.
Pure central planning has all sorts of problems of its own, since planning agencies are both corruptible and have limited powers of foresight (a general problem with any utilitarian proposal). On the other hand pure market solutions aren't working either. I don't believe that the 'drive to do better than everyone else' as a matter of economic necessity is a healthy or sustainable one.

I think there's a possibility for communism 2.0 where planning is distributed rather than being centralized or wholly reactive. We've built a great deal of the logistical infrastructure for this already, but our social and economic technology has fallen behind our physical capabilities.
Unreal. I was working as a developer in their investment bank at that time and by then a lot of their software suite was pretty mature.

there's pretty conclusive evidence of her crashing and the circumstances of that.

"Conclusive evidence" would be plane wreckage, fragments of her personal belongings (or those of other occupants) and the like. Or even statements from witnesses about a plane going down that matched the Electra's description.

But we have none of that. The only thing we have "conclusive" evidence for is that at some point she dropped out of radio contact, and was probably low on fuel.

I can get where he's coming from for the most part, though I don't think cherry picking Linus being rude is fair. Yes, Linus will snap at you if you push him, but it's usually well deserved, even if he could have tried to maintain a more PC stance (I'm not convinced that he should, but maybe I just enjoy reading his "final straw" responses.)

That C++ crack is legendary, and anyone who hasn't read the entire thread should check it out before assuming Linus is just a jerk.
If the idea sounds great and is arguably great on all accounts, but in practice proves to not work, time and time again, perhaps the idea needs to be parked until the environment is fixed. Otherwise, arguing about it becomes a distraction while, in its corrupted form, the idea actively damages the things it should be improving.

So you just say "don't do <<idea>>" and, rather than expand and qualify the statement with a paragraph like the above, you just move on to the actual topic you want to focus on.

I can believe it. Once upon a time, a friend of mine at one of the largest oil companies told me how they were passing around a complex spreadsheet with tons of tabs and formulas and it was for managing the budgets of all their chemical plants around the world. I tried to explain how I could just put it all into a database and whip up a front end for it, but he said there's no way a consultant like me could get anywhere near his department since all firms had to be vetted extensively, there'd be a big RFP, etc, and anyway it sounds like they thought Excel was just fine for managing all this money.

Perhaps I'm being naive, but how about reducing sales tax ('VAT' in UK) for items which come with long guarantee periods? So sale of a washing machine with a 10 year guarantee would be taxed at 5% instead of 10%, or similar. Wouldn't this give manufacturers an incentive to make more durable products?

Not to veer too far off-topic - but what does deep-frying not work on? (ice cream, veggies, sweets, sea-food, beef/any meats... all delicious when deep-fried). Maybe fruit is the one exception? I have never tried but may give it a go. It seems like a poor comparison, as almost all foods are delectable when deep-fried. I know very little about machine learning though, I will concede. I also cannot open the link (blocked at work).

I say this mostly for the humor, but also for the truth: deep-frying is the best. And I deep-fry food quite often. In fact, I am headed home to deep-fry some Won-Tons soon.

I don't know about billions, but I've personally witnessed an Excel spreadsheet for millions of dollars that was manually updated.
