Thats odd, considering that calculations say that on average one would use 4000 kwh per year. (with average 10.000 kwh per house) Do you drive very little, or you charge mostly at work?

Personally I use 3500 kwh per year in my house. I would notice the bill going up. But I would also notice a bill disappearing all together.

Let me put it this way: would Houston's mayor prefer to receive a check for $15B to invest where needed for the future and growth of Houston or to replace stuff damaged by a storm? That's what I mean by this spend being a lost investment, a lost opportunity.

Maybe you're trying to point out it's not totally lost: the spend will make Houston incrementally better at withstanding storms of this magnitude in the future. If so, there's still a huge portion of that spend that's simply replacing lost capital.
There are (at least) two different conventions when it comes to titling: headline and sentence. It's a matter of taste and something that changes over time. I'm not sure if there's a reason deeper than that. In general, I think it's good practice for a publication (or site) to have a style manual for consistency, but just as there are separate AP[0] and Chicago[1] style manuals, it's unlikely you'll see one global style.

I'm beginning to wonder if our ability to sympathize only serves to advance the agendas of those who want to make money on us. Facebook's pushiness is and should always be held as unacceptable, in all circumstances and for all people.

"I sympathize that the company needs business users to keep it afloat" does not justify the kind of begging they've been up to lately.

The author's (and all our) collective sympathy keeps them soliciting us with their bullshit

I wasn't aware of CAA, that's a nice development.

> Do you want the ability to issue certificates under your own (constrained) intermediate certificate?

Look at it this way: currently, if you can send network traffic from some IP space, you can create valid domain certs. This is the equivalent of using a hosts file with a list of IPs to authenticate an ssh connection. Yes, I think an intermediary key, and not simply some arbitrary control of a network, should be required to generate a cert. It seems like CAA, or some extension thereof, could help this become a reality.
You're thinking about the tail end of the distribution. If self driving cars can solve 90% of the mass of the distribution, i.e. driving on highways and urban streets, it would be a significant improvement in terms of efficiency. Of course there will always be morale questions like the one you proposed. But quite frankly, the return on investment of solving the tail end scenarios like that is really small.
Actually, that subordinate CA isn't affected. See:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/net/...

And the blog post states:

> This will affect any certificate chaining to Symantec roots, except for the small number issued by the independently-operated and audited subordinate CAs previously disclosed to Google.

Similarly simply logging out of Facebook on Chrome and only accessing it through incognito or another browser has been great. Added benefit: (a little) less tracking.

It's much better to not have a Facebook account. After a while you get used to that feeling of not knowing what people are up to, but then you realize your life isn't negative because of that.

There's probably someone in your circle of friends and family that isn't using Facebook, so your friends and family are already used to reach to that person through other means.

Also, every time you meet friends and family you'll have things to talk about.
The mention of all of the Spanish/Mexican missions is a little misleading. Yes, they had a religious component, but all of Spanish society did at the time.

Most of the missions were accompanied by settlers and military protection and/or "presidios" nearby. They were strategic initiatives by the state, which was intertwined with the Roman Catholic church at the time.
Well, after a few cars get stuck (or crash) it will show up on the mapping system as blocked and the remaining cars will find another route. I'm semi-joking, but human drivers do that more than we would like to admit. Just needs a cheerful "please get out and push" message.

Or take a page from the internet playbook: Destroy the car and re-send from the origin.
"The tricks, hooks, and tactics Facebook uses to keep people coming back have gotten more aggressive and explicit. And I feel that takes away from the actual value the platform provides."

This is why I stopped using Facebook. I really didn't mind the platform until they crossed the threshold of being a useful product to reminding my each time I used it that I AM the product.

I like to fly under the radar and prefer people to find my pictures and posts naturally. Once they started force feeding people my content I decided to stop inflicting my peers with fuel for facebooks social cannons.
The difference is how advertising has been done traditionally. Think about TV vs. print. Advertisements need to be interspersed in both mediums, but how it is accomplished is different based on the medium. Why would it be different just because we now consume both on a different platform?

Yeah, to call the theory of an invented Jesus 'simpler' is quite a stretch, since you then would have to explain both the rise of Christianity, the gospel writings, and the records of Josephus the Jewish historian who did write about a prophet named Jesus. Simpler would in this case assuming there did indeed exist such a man.
> they'll have cars driving around empty.

> It's a prediction, I can't provide a source for events that haven't occurred.

Using the words "they will" makes it sound like an assertion. How are you so confident about "events that haven't occurred" will indeed occur? You listed out reports and demos, none of which necessarily suggest that "Late this year or 2018 they'll have cars driving around empty"? Do you have additional inside information that the rest of us don't have?

> Also, because Kyle Vogt said so, and he's never bullshitted me before, he's got credibility.

Mobile apps have complex UI, yet you don't see them switching ui frameworks every 6 months.

JavaScript is in a bizarro land by itself. I think the main reason is that is a starter language for many folks (the initial learning curve is gentler), and once they get good enough, they decide to re-invent the wheel again and again, just a bit rounder and rounder.

Also, since probably a lot of younger folks get into JS, they are more guilable/eager to just try new things, no matter how broken are they.

Sometimes this actually creates real progress, often it just increases complexity with no real advantages apart being "fancy and different"

This will probably would have been the case in mobile as well, but the realities there are different:

1. You are stuck with what apple and google provides to you, and at max you can build some util frameworks to make things a bit easier. Most replacements attempts have failed.

2. There is a higher/steeper barrier of entry to ship good mobile apps, and smarter/more experienced folks steer away into following the latest fad.

This scenario's premise assumes Expo's success could heavily depend on claiming patent infringement against Facebook. If that were true then it'd probably be simpler not to use Facebook open source under the BSD+Patents license.

But for several reasons, the Expo team is working without the assumption we need the option of suing Facebook for patent infringement to be successful. I find companies that are sufficiently durable for other reasons to be more appealing to people whose livelihoods depend on the company in some way, including developers, the team, and investors.

Given how many spiders are only inside or only outside spiders, you basically just said you seen him sending the spiders to their death. The person smashing the spider isn't much different than the person putting it outside.

Well, according to http://www.minix3.org, MINIXCon2017 is cancelled due to shortage of papers, so there won't be progress-triggering happening there...

I have a "plan" (we'll see where it goes when I get to it) to do something like this on my Jeep for camping. Except, instead of an external battery, my plan is to get either an Optima or Odyssey hybrid battery (maybe two, if I can fit them under the hood), that can be used for cranking and deep-cycling.
I think we have a tendency to form groups in which the individuals have roughly the same ability to beat each other up. It's a primitive mutual respect.
Yeah, it wouldn't really help communicate with the victims in an emergency like this because virtually none of the general public is going to have (and know how to use) specialized equipment that they only need in extremely rare situations. Perhaps equipment could be distributed to the volunteers, but it seems like many of the boat owners already had basic radio capabilities anyway.
I find it ironic that he lauds the Houston sprawl for keeping housing prices low. He makes some very excellent points about how the rest of the nation has perceived or had the storm presented to them. But his "efficient use of land" argument for paving over huge tracts of wetlands is absurd.

"As a result, it's easier to develop real estate than most cities, which keeps real estate prices - especially housing prices - low relative to the rest of the country."

Easier development != intelligent, sustainable or ecologically friendly.

How do I disable autoplaying video on my Android phone though? It's really annoying that news sites think it's ok to use my mobile bandwidth with redundant videos.
Well there's also some other factors I would think... as soon as you want that fancy web app of yours to convert a 10GB video file you're going to be sad. Or if you want to have control of your data. Or if you don't want someone ELSE to have control of your data. Or if you don't want them listening to everything you say, profiling everything you do, and lacing everything with advertising... Much is done remotely which has absolutely no need to be. Voice recognition is the perfect example now. Sure you need a gigantic corpus and a datacenter full of GPUs to train the recognizer... but once its trained, you could use it on a raspberry pi without a problem. But the company wouldn't get the data that way.

There's no reason a similar system couldn't be built to deliver platform-native applications that run with full access to data you control and which call out to corporate servers only for situations where those corporations are going to provide actual VALUE that couldn't be had locally couldn't be made. It just hasn't been.
Of course you know Facebook works fine through the web browser on your phone. The app is a big bloated hunk of unnecessary.

The course is clear, you need to delete your web browser too.
> I guess you could go through the case log of FIRE.

As I stated above,

>> You can probably build a case against my assessment if you spend all day scouring the past decade for counter-examples. In fact, that work was (literally) already done

In that comment, I was referring to the FIRE database.

So I already addressed the rest of your argument:

>> But "cat everything | grep 'my view point'" does not a preponderance of evidence make.

And in the post after that:

> There are literally millions of political speeches and politically charged courses every semester on college campuses. Taking millions of data points and filtering out 10 or 100 of them, and then generating a perpetual outrage machine out of your teeny tiny artisinally crafted sample set, is the definition of a delusional filter bubble.

I'm glad organizations like FIRE exist!

I agree places like Evergreen have bad cultures.

But the "liberal threat to free speech on college campuses" is 1) extraordinarily over-blown to the point of absurdity; and 2) places undo emphasis on liberal institutions when the most heinously anti-free-speech institutions are all conservative.
The "... just booked this hotel!" is the funniest because they make it seem like they booked it for the dates you're searching.

What do you mean exactly? When did they started doing that? I've always been of the "under the radar" type myself, not too popular and so on, and I can't imagine how Facebook would be forcing my content over people.

Urbanization doesn't necessarily regress the issues I'm talking about, especially since cities can still have their own neighborhood and block communities.

Urbanization isn't unnatural and it agrees with our tribal instincts.

Look at Tokyo: extremely high density with extremely small social unrest. Paris, now a collection of different tribes, can't say the same.
Is there a list of CAs that will be affected? I can't find a link to one in the article.
I use vim for writing out html:

You can script vim too by specifying a list of commands in a file then running it:

That's a good point, but the long running (although shrinking) gap between what the standard recommends, vs. what you can do with real compilers is one of the reasons that coding in C can be so error-prone.

In the UK, differential tariffs were introduced in the 1970s for the benefit of homeowners with electric storage heating. On the Economy 7 tariff you get substantially discounted power for a seven hour period overnight, often as much as 50% lower than the peak rate. Pretty much every British EV owner uses this tariff and a timed charger, because it offers huge cost savings.

Adultery has become vastly more socially acceptable. It isn't considered nice, but it doesn't get you killed anymore.

And for murder, that can be a bit of a tautology as socially unacceptable killing is murder and anything else isn't considered on the same level as murder. But if we consider killing that isn't considered murder and if you consider forms of killing that, if not legal, are punished lighter than murder, it becomes clear that our society does allow some forms of killing others.

Well, I think that there's a human controlling the vehicle is a big part of the problem with each vehicle taking up so much space. If autonomous vehicles were working in unison, arguably:

* traffic problems will be significantly reduced
* you won't need traffic lights like they exist today
* the vehicles can be reduced in size (double occupancy perhaps); a family can just order a couple cars and have communication between them
* streets can be reduced to fewer lanes; possibly one-way because the vehicles can navigate the best route in any case
