It wasn't. I was extracting honey from comb one weekend. Shut the place up and left it on kitchen bench draining into a bowl. Came back to half a dozen in the honey, a couple on the bench and others randomly smashing into windows looking for gaps. Even once covered and sealed I could hear them at night getting inside. It was like a version of Hitchcock's Birds, but non terrifying.

Yes, bridge of sigh and glass manufacturing, definitely it is Venice.

And more or less the same bad news as the ones about Amsterdam, Venice has a continuous flow of tourists, all year round, the "offpeak" in Venice is more or less perfectly overlapping with the cold, rainy winter period where there is less people visiting (but not that much less).
That's oversimplified. Expected return is not the only factor to consider when deciding whether to invest or not. There is also risk to consider. A 51% chance to to either double up or lose your investment has a positive expected return, but if losing could mean catastrophe, it would be foolish to make that investment.

This is exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about.

If Tesla was actively working to prop up our fossil fuel based electricity grid, than I think this would be a fair argument. But they are not. Instead they are actively engaged in the solar+storage market, and they have stated multiple times that they believe the grid can be 100% renewable.

In the short term, yes, folks will need to rely on existing fossil fuel technologies to build factories, transport materials, and power the grid. That is because there is no other economically viable option. To expect the entire clean energy industry to bootstrap itself only using clean energy is a fallacy. In 20-30 years when the grid is more green and clean transportation is widely available, then arguments like these would be valid.

Consistent is a big one.

Imagine every time you reach for a module in your codebase you have to remember that Joe came from C# so he likes to use PascalCase for his methods instead of camelCase like the majority of JS libraries. And John likes Snake_case for his classes because he came from PHP and that seems more natural to him.

Computing used to evolve despite this concern...
Right, on pretty much every metric. So do you think that the Motorola Razr was a better product than the iPhone because you could buy an extra battery and swap it out? I remember well when the first iPhone came out and people waited in line for hours to be able to buy one. It was just so different than any other phone available at the time. I don't really feel that applies to Tesla, and I think most consumers (not people who read and report for Bloomberg News, but the silent majority of people who are actually buying cars and keeping these companies in business) would agree. Yeah, it's cool and it's battery-powered. I get it. But pretty much every new car now is loaded with technology and can reliably get you from point A to point B. So the main differentiator is that it runs on a battery. Is that enough to get people to move en masse to Tesla?

I often would like to tip someone without establishing an ongoing relationship with their site/work - and I'd think that they'd rather get something instead of nothing from me.

While it may be more sustainable, I have to say that personally I strongly associate the subscription model with all sorts of late-capitalist scams, from gym memberships to Juicero. Which isn't to say that I am opposed to supporting people creating cool, ongoing work, but that's the exception, not the rule, to that model.

You don't even have to modify the paper often. All that's really needed is for observers from any interested party to be allowed, which they are in the US. Then to affect anything above the city level an attacker has to bribe or coerce hundreds of people to turn a blind eye to things against their own political interests. They can watch polling places to spot ballot stuffing and counting places to spot count issues/fraud.

If people who are at home, can be persuaded to use wired connections, it frees up the wireless signal for people who don't have access to a wired connection.

I haven't read Behave by Robert Sapolsky, but I did read 'A Primate's Memoir' a while back and it was fantastic. A memoir of his time in Africa studying baboons, well written and entertaining. One of those books that I was sad to finish. You can learn a lot about human behavior and society by studying baboons.

Two books I've read this summer that would fit on this list are This will make you smarter from edge.org, and Waking Up by Sam Harris. The first is a collection of the essays from edge.org about what everyone should have in their cognitive toolkit [1]. Consider it a list of a) the many ways one can go wrong when trying to think scientifically, and b) some of the many concepts to consider when trying to solve a problem or understand something. Waking Up was good from the point of view of understanding the science behind 'the self' and meditation. I've started meditating because of this book, and it's a useful guide for avoiding the, shall I say, less rational aspects that are out there.

outdated info / blog posts - we're looking at how to improve developer.android.com to make sure people get the latest guidance. i'll see if we can expand scope to include blog posts. btw, if anyone has recommendations for how to address people finding outdated answers on StackOverflow ... i'm all ears.

too much time & attention - definitely agree with the general point, and for RecyclerView specifically yes, I think we can make this simpler.

Android Studio UI - we have some very good UX people now, but (1) it will take time for their work to launch and (2) there's only so far we can move from IntelliJ's approach, which is very much "we'll give you lots of options and you can customize to simplify"

thanks for the brain dump! very helpful.
I get $3-800 per month from Patreon, depending on how productive I am on drawing pages of comics.

I have next to no interaction with my patrons. It's pretty awesome. If I ask a question in a post I'll get a few replies, that's about it.

I mean they know something of who I am from following my Twitter or whatever, I'm no Pynchon, but every now and then Patreon sends out emails suggesting ways to make more patrons by livestreaming or whatever and I'm all "oh fuck that".

I'm not charging for time with me. Im not selling the illusion of companionship. I'm just charging for my comics.

Is that legal? Seems like a good way to get sued/arrested if you annoy the wrong person, or your 'friends' ever report you for it.

But seriously, that's pretty messed up either way really. You're exploiting people that think you're friends with them to get information from their computers without their knowledge. It's at best not ethical and worst not legal.
But TV does have bad effects — among other things, it causes us to believe that we have a deep knowledge of facts about subjects we actually have only a superficial knowledge of artistic depictions of (cf. the CSI effect in jury trials). Its unfortunate political and social effects are notable when one looks at the last few decades.

The world would probably be much better if people watched less TV.
I agree, however, those of us who understand the importance of paper ballots are having a hard time selling it to the public. We're coming across as Luddites. I'm impressed that the New York Times is promoting open source software; it's a small step in the right direction. Perhaps the message we should be spreading is that paper ballots are even more "open source" than any computer software. With paper, poll workers can prevent hacking by simply observing, using physical locks, and communicating with other poll workers. Software (open source or not) only seems to complicate all of that.
Not at all.

You can call me subjective but you will have a harder time calling me wrong. The magic man in the clouds as a theory of how the universe works has been debunked so many times and has so little evidence it should be discounted out of hand.

Math on the hand is so useful it was used to designed my cell phone, my car and the computer I type this on.

One of these these things has evidence and rich history of working and the other is religion. There is some false equivalence going on with your saying that we can't explain every detail of math it is somehow comparable to a thoroughly incorrect view of reality.

>One of my favorite low key social engineering hacks is that I used to have a keylogger installed on every machine I own. Whenever a friend needs to hop on my machine to show me something, they'd log into an account they own and I would have their password.

This isn't a "low key social engineering hack", it's betraying someone's trust.

>I would sit next to them and subtly jerk the mouse pointer right before they were about to click on something and it drove them mad for a good 20 minutes before I couldn't hold onto the giggles anymore.

This isn't actually funny, it's just being obnoxious and mean.

If you're next to them why not just jerk their arm when they are trying to click? It achieves the same "goal" of "entertaining" yourself and pissing the other person off. Jerk their laptop when you walk by. Throw stuff at them. Smack them in the head. Trip them when they get up to pee. "Hilarious."

>among a group of friends where everyone was trying to hack everyone else and pretty much anything was considered fair game.

This sounds like the bully saying "we were all having fun together."

You don't know the difference between having fun with someone and having fun at their expense - and that's just disturbing.

As someone who lived during the Windows 98 era, I wouldn't want others reading my IMs and emails (I had some very sexual and personal communication over those channels) or viewing my browsing habits.

Right; but implementing any sort of change to education in general, requires that specific curricula be changed.
My dad reads about the same level as you do. My wife reads about the same speed as she speaks. I am probably half the speed as my father at my peak. I have found out that my dad really isn't a details person. Sadly I am more of a global view first then details and I have to process stuff into that global view all the time. Being a Theological student in grad school I would have about 2,000 to 12,000 pages of reading per class. UGH took me forever to learn how to up my speed and my retention.
it's a clear message to the global community.
I really would love we be done with passwords altogether. We're asking non power users to make their password unique, and then make it complicated, and then remember all of them in their head, not on a post-it. Nobody can do that, not even us who are telling them to do that. And then, we explain to them they're dumb if they didn't do that.

Currently, my way to generate a new password is this : `pwgen | md5sum`. And then, I use "lost password" everywhere (but for my mailbox, obviously), that is, the rare times my browser is not already prefilling the login form.

This makes me wonder why we don't just go with that : generate a random password for the user in registration form, allow the browser to save it. On the login form, check if fields are prefilled. If not, only display an email field and send an auth link as mail. User clicking it (once, and fast enough) is logged in.

You still have to remember your mailbox password, but that's the only one, quite akin the root password of a server.
