> They move the pollution from a tailpipe feet away from people

You can't move non-existent pollution. It hasn't occurred yet, so there's no "movement". Electric cars create pollution displaced from the location the car is used in.
Of course it's a second-class language, so are React Native and everything else that isn't Objective-C or Swift. But that's not what you said, you said they wouldn't allow it. If you want them to actually support it and make it a native option that's entirely different.
Yes. The ECU is extremely limited
I believe they manage the fuel costs by flying slightly slower (20% maybe from memory?) than normal. I read about the plans a couple of years ago.

That still gets there quicker than with a stop.

I'd do it. I'm in Adelaide, and I don't like the stop overs to Europe.

I don't know much about Common Lisp, all I know is that some people still think Apple only allows apps written in directly supported languages, which hasn't been the policy in years.
It appears I have accepted the usual stresses and matters of courses of flying as normal and in doing so have become a grateful sheep.

Then again, the times I've had to worry about missed connections are small and the rest didn't end the world; the worst I've had to experience is waiting longer than expected.
It is the same - maybe to a lesser extend - in Europe. People should really stop telling others how to be happy

Maybe everybody has stopped using vim, but it's my bread and butter and I cannot imagine using anything else. Even gvim is not good enough. It has to be vim and it has to have my settings in the rc file. Expecting me to pay thousands of dollars and then having to remap ESC is a ridiculous joke.

Recommendations...for what purpose? Please be more specific. Where are you now? What do you want to achieve? Do you want to build something from scratch or just polish your skills? Etc.

For example, I can tell you that Phaser is a very good library for game development (or similiarly, others that X is for Y), but that is pretty much useless if you are completely disinterested in that given area.
Equipment maintenance may not be low risk for automation.

If you look at modern automation trends in software, a key property is that they rely on throwing things away that don't work, and replacing them with known-good new "instances". The same approach is already used widely for physical goods as well - the "disposable society".

It's not difficult to image equipment "maintenance" being automatically performed by replacing major parts, instead of worrying about trying to diagnose and fix precisely what went wrong.
It seems true from my experiences in life, probably true for many others. Thank you for the quote
This solves the problem for you, the individual who values your goal, but that's the easy part. How do you suggest we get other people to do it?
This will not scale as more and more people make use of this though. I agree it's a very strong incentive though.
"At first blush this calculation may seem to placate some concern, but on second thought it's mostly worthless without any discussion of the current dispersal of the waste and it's "potency," i.e. the potential harmful effects of a given quantity.

Sure, but you'd have to do the same for every other power source as well.
Even making solar panels currently generates toxic waste ...
The value you would add by making it available to me is value you would also add directly to the other parties intending to purchase and use it. So really, we're in the same boat as before as far as availability is concerned, except now I'm buying from you for a higher price.

Only under the assumption that no competing, superior technologies exists. The worse the efficiency of the ad-model, the more attractive the alternatives will be.

Criticizing Microsoft over delivering an inferior user experience twenty years ago is in the same category as the critique against Google: as long as they have complete control over the market, it doesn’t matter at all. But when competing, superior technologies start appearing, it becomes their downfall. And the worse the user (advertisers, in case of Google) experience, the greater the incentive for competing technologies to appear.

Up to a point. After some threshold of noise the system becomes unstable. Similarly, after some threshold of fraud the advertisers lose faith and leave. I.e. mostly shit is not a place you want to be at.

> if your final destination from Sydney isn't London or New York then you need to make a connection anyway.

England is the 'motherland', so is still a popular destination for some and for Brits wanting to visit the colonies.

I think the New York route might be harder to fill but I suspect it has more to do with carving out a new market for Qantas, as there is a lot of competition flying to California.
Tech Workers: Friend or Foe?
Ha, yeah. As a customer, I expect you to place a realistic upper bound on your ability to deliver. Like, Nintendo's SNES Classics sold out in about 100ms. But they didn't promise an infinite quantity and THEN start asking digikey and mouser what their stocks of SuperFX chips looked like.

So you want to use a part in a design. Maybe...I dunno...check how much stock you can purchase in a short period of time with little notice? If say, your core processor is on a 14-week lead time at every factory that makes them, maybe you'd want to do a limited run to start with?

It doesn't sound like this company made it that far, though. Did they even have a final product? I can't quite tell from the article, but it sounds like 'no.'

The biggest problem I see with this kind of argument is that once you enable the explicit and outright marginalization of a particular group, it becomes essentially impossible to ensure that it stays limited to said group. See: "First they came...".

There are two other problems with this mindset. The first is that objectively quantifying the benefit vs. downside of marginalizing a particular group doesn't happen. Instead, feelings and opinions seep in -- a fear of the "other", if you will. The second is that, by marginalizing a group, you more often that not end up making your problem worse.

The "other way" is to try to understand the root causes behind such attacks, and work with the communities that are closest; in this case, Muslim communities around America. It's quite known by now that American Muslims are very willing to cooperate with authorities when the need arises.
I do this and even though I'm not a touch typist, there is a sense of position information about keys in my mind. However with the touch bar (I'm assuming, having never used one for longer than 2 minutes), even that sense will not help.

Generally a good article but I think the author struggles too much with something that isn't that difficult. If you really enjoy something then won't you naturally pursue it? Of course, you love it. If you have multiple things you love you'll pursue multiple things, dividing your time between them. IF you hate something then the only reason you would give it time is because there's something you don't hate about it.

This isn't that difficult, its really just intuitive.
"If a single bitcoin transaction uses enough energy to power 5 households for a day, that certainly makes me not want to do any bitcoin transactions anymore."

This is another point where BECI is misleading... the author managed to screw up so many things on his site :-(

Feel free to transact more. This will NOT consume more energy, as explained by many other commenters. The energy per transaction decreases as more transactions are processed, see argument #5:

Yes, but the hashing of the merkle tree to obtain the merkle root takes like 10^4 hashes for 10^3 transactions.
Compared with 2^80 that is about the number of hash operations needed to find a POW block header, it it trascurable.
> Flashlight geek here.

Can I ask a flashlight question? :) How do I tell how many lumens a flashlight really is?

(If it matters, I'm trying to find a flashlight that fits in my pocket, is < $20, is ideally zoomable, and is as bright as possible.

> Lithium batteries still can't approach 10% of gasoline's energy density, so gasoline is mandatory for trucks, and will be until yet another new battery technology is not only discovered and brought to market, but mass-produced to the point that we have a battery-pollution problem.

Too bad that correct number to look at is entire power system energy density (engine+fuel+transmission). Electric engines are a lot lighter so batteries do not need to have same energy density.

Just curious : don't you apply updates ?

I self host my gitlab and when there's an update it goes down for several minutes (well actually I don't know if it's unusable, haven't tried, but with the backup and the updates, it's long)

I'm the only one working on it, so that's not a problem for me.

Still, it takes time.
It's not that confusing.

By bloodshed, I mean death or casualties, not limited to only when blood pours out. When people talk about bloody wars, they also cite casualties which includes wounded. It's obviously incalculable, but consider these:

1. US gang violence. (8,900 deaths in 2010, higher in 80s,90s)
2. Drug war related deaths in Mexico 1990-2010 (220,000 deaths)
3. Drug war related deaths in Columbia, 1990-2010 (450,000 deaths)
4. Killings by militarized police. (unknown)
5. Overdose deaths (65K in 2016 at peak, but a lot in 70s-90s)

https://colombiareports.com/the-price-of-colombias-drug-war/

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/05/upshot/opioid...

I would guess that overdose deaths primarily occur because the user doesn't know what dosage they are given, a result of the black market. I suspect there are some intentional suicide overdose deaths, but those would be low. The overdose deaths are just for one year as are the gang violence deaths. Gangs arm themselves with drug money.

The US had 720,000 deaths in our bloodiest war, the Civil War, 2/3rds of that was disease, which you may or may not consider bloodshed. Just Mexico and Columbia alone account for 670K deaths between 1990 and 2010. Add 7 years to the top end, and 20 years from 1970 to 1990 and that number is growing substantially.

I'm not sure if you would count the Philippines as directly related to US policies, but I think their death count is already at 12K for the year.

Anyway, these are some numbers that I threw together in about 10 minutes. It excludes a bunch of countries that were directly affected by US drug war policies. The numbers are quite high. Not WWII total deaths high, but certainly Civil War military deaths high (our bloodiest war).

One plus point of this article, is they say why the journey takes so long!

I wish Amtrak ran an overnight service to San Jose or Oakland. The San Joaqins train might work: The train portion of the journey, from Bakersfield to the Richmond BART station, is about 5 1/2 hours, or 6 hours to Jack London Square. The problem is a 2 1/2 hour bus ride from Union Station to Bakersfield.

I think the better option would be the Coast Starlight, which I have taken.
The trip from LA Union Station leaves at 10:10 AM, and is scheduled at San Jose 10 hours 1 minute later.

Imagine something like this: A consist of mostly sleeper and business-class cars, with a lounge/cafe and diner car. Your train departs Los Angeles Union station at 8 PM. You either have a late meal on the train, or you ate earlier at Union Station (you have to go to the Traxx restaurant). In the time before bed, you wander around, work on your laptop (there's good cell & wi-fi coverage for the first part of the journey), and chat/network with people in the lounge car.

Time passes. The ride quality is fine (at least, it was to me).

At 6 AM, your train pulls in to San Jose. Some people get off here, but not all, and the journey isn't over: Instead of terminating, the train moves from Union Pacific to Caltrain right-of-way.

Your train departs San Jose after Caltrain 309 (the 6:04 Baby Bullet). After Caltrain 309, the next train isn't until 6:23, so there's room in case your train was delayed overnight.

Your train stops at Palo Alto around 6:45, Redwood City around 6:55, and Millbrae around 7:10. The Palo Alto stop lets people turn back south on Caltrain 206 (6:54, Limited) or Caltrain 212 (7:33, making all stops). Redwood City lets people transfer to Caltrain 211 (6:59), which stops at all remaining Caltrain stations on the route. And Millbrae is the BART connection.

Your train arrives at 4th & King around 7:30 AM. Downtown LA to Downtown San Francisco, fed, watered, and comfortable, in 11 hours 30 minutes, although you were only awake for like 4 of those hours.

I want this now.

You are missing the point entirely. It's not about the "why", but rather the precedent it sets.

> We DON"T have Radical Christians, Radical Hindus, Radicial Buddhist trying to blow up civilians.

Ehh there are in fact radical Christians who kill innocents in the US. Radical Hindus and Buddhists also exist, but in other countries.

> It does mean however that more specific attention should be paid to muslims, as they are most likely to contain the threat.

So I assume you think it's OK to profile people of other religions and/or ethnicities (e.g., African Americans)?
The military is also not the only protection system in place. You are right, just considering the GDP is too limited, but considering just the military is also too limited. Police, fireman, courts, security systems, the SEC, locks, alarms, etc all contribute to protecting assets in the US.

It's a hard number to measure. Bitcoin inflation has a fixed measurable cost though (12.5 coins per 10 minutes), if that's acceptable to you for the benefits you get, then it's money well spent burning electricity.

If I understand the talk correctly, this is just a way to assign objects a lazy list of shorts, and then sort them by that list using a recursive bucket sort.

I like his system for generating these lists when there's nested data. However, it's often as simple as concatenating the lists generated by the fields of the object.

The O(n) time bound isn't surprising to me, since each byte of information in the input can lead to at most one scan through the bucket array. Actual performance is obviously a lot better.

I'd still like to see this integrated into a more mainstream language. It would be an interface where all you have to implement is a generator that concatenates the generators of the fields of your class in the desired order.

I know how to do any combination of fixed-width numbers, structs, unions, strings, but I'm not sure how to handle tree-like structures, and something with cycles... I can't even think of a regular comparator for.

I assume this isn't this simple, so what am I missing?
