Actually, far from surely.

Exactly this. I often hear such things from politicians who sound like they don't understand the topic, and it's usual at a point of "weakness" for civil liberties such as after terorism events. I assume it's just a form of lobbying, but I wonder if it's from other clueless people (police chiefs/unions who just want the job to be easier) or elite security services who make a conscious decision to trade public good for their own interests (ignoring the claim that they do good themselves...).
*rote memorization

Either way, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Even for open ended questions, in my experience it makes a big difference whether someone has prepared for it, and a weak candidate can prepare enough to appear (much) better than he/she actually is.
The UK government has a habit of ignoring its own experts, to the degree of firing them if they give advice the government don't like. Drug policy is another area that suffers from this approach.
Sadly, the thing that stood out the most to me is the sentence We attempt to make the compiler generate the most sensible error message, followed by an incomprehensible error message completely unrelated to the problem.

C++ should really get proper metaprogramming, with support for user-defined error messages. All this template stuff always seemed like an awful hack to me: Fighting the compiler instead of being the compiler.

The "market average" like S&P is the expected return of passive investment - doing nothing, so that's why it's a reasonable benchmark. This (not 0%) is the straightforward default alternative investment, the one against you can measure an opportunity cost.

The point of hedge funds is that they can do better than that, but charge a fee. However, if you get worse results than doing nothing, then the fee seems unjustified.
Yeah, that seems like false advertising. I believe that much true HBM/GDDR5 would have to cost tens of thousands of dollars. So I was skeptical. That said: if I could get a card with that much real GDDR5 on it, I'd consider paying whatever it took.

They could also tell that there are a number of countries with fresh democracies that have fared a lot worse (See the entirety of eastern Europe for instance).

The view that "Meh, it could be worse" is the one that's been most prevalent among those who I've talked to about the issue. As mentioned higher up in the thread, it's easy to look the other way when it comes to a couple of human rights crimes when your family has gone from starvation to owning cars and apartments in skyscrapers in less than a generation.
The only reason I can see you being down voted is because you're not providing a constructive argument in HN standards against carbs. But you do make an excellent point. I'd like to add that in addition to the dental antropologist listed in the article [0], Weston A. Price [1] is also very well known for the role of agriculture (more carbs) in human dental change.

This is another statement that is part of a trend in many countries, and it is worrying to be sure. But I suspect that the aim of these audacious statements is not to actually ban the technology of strong end-to-end encryption. Rather, it is to force the Google, Apple, and Facebook to provide backdoors in their popular messaging platforms (e.g., WhatsApp) that can be used by law enforcement.

They don't care about someone using GnuPG to mail someone something private (because that would be impossible to legislate effectively), but they do care about the big honey-pot of always-on end-to-end encryption offered to anyone with an off-the-shelf smartphone.

The call for legislation and a ban on strong encryption is meant to put pressure on Google, Apple, and Facebook to cooperate with the Five Eyes without too much fuss, and simply let them in. I can't see it making any sense otherwise.

Whether that access is to act on signals of religious radicalisation and planned acts of terrorism or something much more encompassing (big data predictive crime analysis and other scary stuff) I don't know.
There's a lot of EV's comparable to the Model 3 in both price and range. There's a lot of EV's comparable to the Model 3 in range and price. VW e-golf costs about the same (or less) with comparable range and size. Hyundai IONIQ is cheaper with about the same range and size. Then you have the ugly EV's like Nissan Leaf and Kia Soul. Cheaper and with comparable range and size (perhaps a bit smaller trunk).
> Worry not about German carmakers, they have infinite money to throw at any project. Once they decide to go serious about electric, Tesla won't be able to keep up with the competition.

If they have not come around by now, I seriously doubt they will make serious investments in electric cars unless the government forces them.
I happened to catch a Radio 4 documentary [0] on Sunday about the government's "Prevent" strategy, which aims to find evidence of extremism in places such as schools and "nip terrorism in the bud". It featured several worrying stories (including a school calling the police because a boy was talking about a toy gun he'd been given as a present [1]).

The most worrying part was when they interviewed a senior police officer and he actually said words to the effect of:

"We are operating in a pre-criminal space."

And went on to attempt to justify retaining people's data when they have intervened in this way.

So they are now actually talking openly about pre-crime, and using people's children against them.

I thought it was obvious the speed is essentially irrelevant to the democratic process in the context of minutes to count.

The extent of the competition over seconds and minutes here is bound to lead to some mistkaes, and I would question whether the checks are sufficient (the checks themselves may also be susceptible to mistkaes).

Yep. We had a 250k line codebase ten years ago that took 20secs for a full rebuild in Delphi. You could code like a demon. Even 17 years ago it had awesome reflection that let you do some really efficient (lines of code) stuff with generating classes on components.
> That's such BS. VPN apps are banned because they give users privacy. So it's logical that by removing them it hurts people's privacy in China.

I find it funny that this statement is literally an example of a logical fallacy.

> And that's a copout and you know it. As soon as people reset their phones or buy new ones they won't be able to "continue using them". Taking that as a "win" is absurd.

The person your replying also did not use the term "win", and yet you quote it and tack it on at the end to add emphasis. It's very strange.
Counterexamples: XML DOM APIs, as interfaced and implemented (separately) in, say, Java; or OpenGL, with its extension functions.

One problem is construction. When you need to interact with a library at one remove using interfaces everywhere, you can't simply new up instances; you have to go via factories. And that leads to ugly alien code.

Another is extension (OpenGL). If your super duper implementation has nifty new features, how do you expose them if you're living behind an interface? Does the interface enable extension in a usable way? Or is it indirect and awkward again?

In practice, you code and test against one or two implementations (bug compatibility), and other implementations are only supported by accident or effort by the implementors.

(I'm fully on board with the idea that a language ecosystem is constrained by the highest level of abstraction in the type system that's shared across all ecosystem libraries. It's the strongest argument for a large standard library.)

Whether or not Apple Music and Google's offers are inferior, are they inferior enough that Spotify can overcome the "power of defaults"? If I'm all in in either ecosystem, the integration benefits of Apple Music may make up for any inferiority. The same could be said about Youtube Red.
South Africa is hardly the only country where multivitamins are common. If rationality were the only metric for decision making, I would expect homeopathy to be far less common globally than it is today.

As for Aids denialism, South Africa suffers from a case of cultural antiestablishmentism, particularly in the context of Western medicine. Thankfully our government has stepped up in recent years, and actively promotes HIV/Aids education these days.
that's arguably not what a company's task is or ought to be

Ok, argue it. Why should a company, as a member of the society it's based in, be above criticism for taking immoral actions just because they happen somewhere else?

And does that apply to any immoral action, or do you draw a line?
Plenty of apartments in the US have washing machines, I've lived in several apartments and all had a washing machine[1].

As for the reason why many don't - historical (they weren't designed when household washing machines didn't exist and were never retrofitted), and slumlords not wanting to manage another appliance.

Add to that nowadays Americans don't do much air drying of their clothes so a washer without a dryer is much less appealing. As long as you had physical space adding a washer to an apartment that wasn't designed for one is cheap. Adding a dryer is very costly - dedicated plug or gas line plus ventilation to the outside. So if it's not economically worth the dryer upgrade than most landlords just won't bother with a washer upgrade either.

If your landlord doesn't provide a washer and your apartment doesn't have washer hookups you could always get a portable washing machine (or jury rig a regular washer to be 'portable') for any apartment as long as you had somewhere to store it. I've even hear of someone splitting the water line under the sink to install a washer in a rental.

Same thing with dishwashers, some apartments have them, some don't.

[1]One apartment I lived in though had all the washing machines and dryers in the shared basement and they were coin operated and we weren't supposed to use them after 9.
It's weird you'd get planning permission for building residential buildings with units that don't have washer/dryer hookups in (some places in) the US. (At least my take away from TFA was that there are still new buildings being build like that)

It's not true, though. SF is pretty much average in this regard.

Americans in general just don't seem to care about public spaces, pretty much anywhere in the country. I've travelled to many US cities and the only reason other cities some how feel "cleaner" is because there's literally nobody walking in them.

The cities made for walking (like NYC and maybe Boston) are on par with SF. Maybe less dog poo everywhere though.

> There's a lot of EV's comparable to the Model 3 in both price and range

No, there isn't.

Here's a chart made by a Redditor comparing price with range of all the Evs on the market. Checkout how much of an outlier the Model 3 Long Range is.

Even the Standard Model 3 has much more range than all the other EVs except the Bolt, and other Teslas.

Yup exactly this. Many people fail to understand that what Tesla built already the Germans did not even start to think about.

Sure they have a lot of expertise about building classical cars and engines no doubt about that. But TESLA is an entirely different product. It's not only a product it's a PLATFORM.

German car makers are building good machines but that's what it's about them. They give a sense a feel of luxury and high quality. Tesla built a product and additional services around their PLATFORM in the way american companies are famous for. The future generations of buyer/renters are tech savvy people not interested that much in the machine itself but about the whole range of additional services that come with the platform.

i'm not even sure about that. i think i remember the story about islamic terrorists in europe last year using plain old SMS to coordinate their attack. didn't make a difference though, their communication was only analyzed after it happened.

so for the average imbecile just using whatsapp, signal or a self-hosted service would actually make a difference, but if it'd make a difference for law enforcement is a different matter. having access to billions of messages and actually doing something with them are two different kinds of beasts.

I'm still angry at Spotify and don't use their service as a consequence. I got Spotify during the beta. Then the advantages were gradually revoked (first a "free" account with less ads iirc, now no perks at all). Nothing surprising but there are way too many other ways to listen to music (and needed to use others for some tracks anyways) for me to comply and subscribe.

Mostly using HypeMachine now. Although it is probably gonna shut down, and all there will be left will be subscription based music services :(

That's only during stressful times though. ;)
GCHQ are the only reason the UK are able to maintain their grip over the world economy. If it weren't for the UK's massive spy industry, it'd just be another irrelevant European state.

People in general will tolerate restrictive systems as long as they are economically compensated or economic system is humming. The most authoritarian regimes, use fear but the most used tactic is to "payoff" the "village elders". If a dictator yielded the kind of break-neck growth that China experienced in any Western country, there is a good chance people will put up with it. The problem is when the growth dies, and the gravy train stops. How will CCP handle a low growth system? By becoming more authoritarian, that is what is happening in China with corruption purges.

> Berlin

Lol what? In Berlin you see heaps of trash, broken furniture and fridges on the sidewalks once you leave the main roads. The city stinks in the summer (guess this is due to not enough water in the sewage). In Neukölln (and other parts of the city) you gotta take care of druggies everywhere. Parts of the city have a severe neonazi problem (left-wing and "foreign looking" people are getting beaten up, and their cars torched). Rents are skyrocketing and the government doesn't care much except to fight those who protest against gentrification.

I don't get the Berlin hype. Really not.

It's slower, which is important when you're trying to push a lot of emails. If you keep the TLS connection open, sending an HTTP request is very fast. Waiting for the roundtrips of that chatter reduces the throughput, especially on higher latency links.
Why is that? What security does it provide? This very project just demonstrated that you can send pretty much anything in HTTP(S) so any malware (I presume) you're trying to defeat can do the same.
