Yeah, I agree. They need to have an ideological filter for the popular page or, better, do something like an ideological page-rank algorithm so it can be personalized. Right now it is pretty shocking content, a result of Gab's commitment to free speech and the purging of the (alt) right on other social media platforms.
A few days ago I ate a chili pepper out of boredom, and after finding out what a bad idea that was, I opened Reddit. The frontpage of /r/todayilearned had a post about someone learning that birds can't detect capsaicin and that peppers evolved it to deter mammals (which have grinding teeth).

These kinds of cosmic coincidences happen to me and everyone else every few weeks, and they mean absolutely nothing. We're just wired to see patterns. I (and millions more) see hundreds of Reddit posts per day, you (and millions more) see hundreds of ads per day. A crazy coincidence every 10,000 ads isn't very strange.

Something like this should be piss easy to prove, especially on Android. Traffic monitoring, monitoring when exactly the microphone is accessed on a rooted phone, anything really. The fact that this rumor has been going about for years and nobody has found anything, means it's just nonsense.
You say people will take a stand, but the vast and overwhelming number of us wont, we will just continue to help build the greatest surveillance system in history.

Which comes back to my original point. After all those movies there was still a demand. Where was that demand originating from?
Ah, yes I agree the writing style is a bit awkward especially at the end. I think the story itself is pretty compelling. The style does (somewhat awkwardly) parallel the story itself: these guys weren't looking to get VW into trouble, they were fascinated by what they thought was a technical solution to a hard problem.

That might work if no one was allowed to punish anyone for doing something simply because they consider it wrong. I don't want you, or anyone else, making that decision for me. Privacy is more about protection from people with power than it is for protection from direct harm.

I agree. Java is one of my favorite languages partly due to its verbosity. It's easy to figure out what I was doing when looking at my code later on. It's also easier to repurpose old code.

At Bridgewater, its not exactly just not micromanaging, that is one of the parts. Its more along the lines of knowing when to manage, specifically where the fine line is between micromanaging and "true managing", removing people who aren't performing (firing or getting them into the correct role), getting people leverage that they need (that is supporting them in the way they need) and escalating to other management "correctly". Management is finding the right balance of all of that to allow a subordinate to achieve their potential.

I wonder if we'll also move to a console-like architecture where there's only 1 pool of memory (in the case of the PS4 GDDR5) which is shared by both parts of the APU.. it would be quite nice because it allows the system to repurpose memory to whichever task is critical at that moment, you'd never have 'wasted' memory sitting around doing nothing.
Even if you agree that it’s preferable that certain topics be addressed by particular groups are are most affected by them — at the time Alan Moore was writing originally, that wasn’t an option. Either a white male wrote about it or it didn’t get written about, for the most part. He (and the rest of the British Invasion) opened a lot of doors for various topics to get addressed in mainstream comics for the first time.

Since then, the doors have opened wider for a more diverse group of writers in comics, and that’s a good thing, but I don’t think you should be too angry at Alan Moore for at least trying to address complex issues in an intelligent way.
You sound like my father. He does the same thing. The biggest value screen proctors have for me is to make them less glossy. The default in my experience never do this.

I do the exact opposite I remove all stickers when I buy a new computer.
I think that's the issue though. One should not need to have much experience in any particular language to read and understand what a particular piece of code is doing. It should be relatively intuitive. The more boilerplate a language has, the larger the cognitive load. This holds true regardless of whether or not it is invisible to anyone, it's just that much more annoying. I'm not doing a good job of expressing my thoughts here, but I absolutely "feel" this way when working with Java vs something like Python.

That being said, I'm a big of Java and the eco-system.

It seems like Kotlin is similar to Dart in many ways. New languages like them are able to be more concise while Java is stuck staying compatible with its past.
Just a note, not trying to pick your anecdote, but the experience of something seemingly occuring frequently out of nowhere is exactly the baader-meinhof phenomenon. You’d need to demonstrate a causal link to firmly disprove it, which would assumably be difficult in this case.
"This is also complicated by the fact that the industry isn't really incentivized to improve your health. Why run a predictive model and intervene to reduce your need for a stent when I make money from that operation?"

The healthcare industry has two sides: the providers and the insurers. A hospital may not have the incentive to steer you away from unnecessary surgery, but your insurance company definitely does, since they'll be the ones paying for it. And your insurance company may have even more information to base its models on, since it knows about all the procedures you've had at any provider. So I'd expect insurance companies to be pioneering this kind of health-improvement software, not hospitals.

Pitfalls of Lombok aside, I agree that it is indispensable to reduce the amount of boilerplate in Java. That being said, it is largely a hack but most of the IDEs have Lombok support so it's not _as_ bad.

"dramatically", bullshit!

There's over population and energy restriction. It's all natural and the right ecologic thing to adjust the population to the available resources.

If you let your country be invaded by Africans in this situation, you will get the same fate as Africa. Instead of having a reduction of the population to the levels sustainable naturally (about half the population in European countries), you will get a violent decimation instead.

So the correct title should be:

First we need excess energy to have a storage problem. Ignoring that, I think some market based mechanisms on the consumption side could gobble that capacity up.

If energy is a big enough input to some process like metallurgy, recycling, computation, etc in times of excess you could drop the price to the base mwh rate minus the cost of a theoretical amortized storage solution + transmission inefficiencies and give incentive to burn that capacity off.

Since we've already invented the economy, we can pass around excess money to use for on demand/scaling consumption instead of building big energy network storage and transportation and eating the cost.

In theory subsidizing scalable supplies with the fixed supplies.
Per US NRC definitions,

High-level radioactive waste or HLW means: (1) Irradiated reactor fuel, (2) liquid wastes resulting from the operation of the first cycle solvent extraction system, or equivalent, and the concentrated wastes from subsequent extraction cycles, or equivalent, in a facility for reprocessing irradiated reactor fuel, and (3) solids into which such liquid wastes have been converted.

https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/part060/p...

Given that all American irradiated reactor fuel is still young enough to retain substantial portions of its original strontium 90 (and other medium-lived fission product) content, it doesn't seem like an overly broad definition to me. Maybe in practice things like slightly radioactive steel ends up lumped in with spent fuel? If so, yes, that's bad.

I agree that we don't need to bury spent nuclear fuel in permanent geological repositories. Don't try to chemically reprocess the waste, bury it beyond observation, or otherwise convert a simple, compact, inexpensive problem into a more diffuse, complicated, expensive one. Monitored/guarded sheds is fine.

It's pretty easy to identify serious vs. non-serious art, and we'd been doing it for thousands of years. Great epics in music and poetry, literature and painting are great because they are serious. What's happened now is that if you level the critique the parent did, we get your reaction - a subtle insistence that we must consider all art serious, no matter how lazy it is.

As a Node.js dev: don't hold your breath waiting for better exception support in callback-based asynchronous code. Node didn't really have a procedural legacy; it was always async (sorta), and exceptions are awful to try to reason about with callbacks. Then we got Promises, which made it worse. Now we have async/await, which helps restore typical exception behavior a bit . . . until you have to integrate with any code written in a callback- or promise-oriented style (anything older than 15 months, almost all of the standard library).

In general, I think without language-level support for continuations (callbacks, coroutines, promises, async-"colored" functions, whatever), projects like Vert.x are going to cause a lot of friction with regards to exceptions. Having a large synchronous legacy to contend with doesn't help either.
One big problem is that insurance companies are looking to optimize financial outcomes, not health outcomes. Sometimes these coincide but often they do not.
When you compare the speed and effectiveness of Russia's military renewal (including planes like the Su-35) with the chain of fiascos in the US defense sector, one really wonders whether the Soviet Union's KGB campaign was a success. The KGB wanted to place deep cover agents within the US establishment (political and defense) in order to subvert the USA and damage its ability to threaten the Soviet Union. Normal KGB practice for this was to set up agents, but then let them run free with no control from Moscow or any requirement to send info back to Moscow. This made them virtually undetectable and when the Russian Federation disbanded the KGB, those deep cover agents continued to function. Soviet defectors in the 70's and 80's warned about the KGB campaign but nobody seemed to listen.

So when we see so-called "bad decisions" resulting in useless aircraft, useless stealth ships, and a whole chain of military equipment fiascos (up to and including $10,000 hammers) you really have to wonder whether the KGB won the cold war after all. We now know that the USA ran a decades long campaign to subvert the Soviet Union by sowing corruption deep within the Soviet system. How could the KGB not have done the same? Also, the Soviet Union disbanded itself quite abruptly and unexpectedly. Students of the KYB and of Russian strategy seriously wonder whether this was done to prevent the ultimate endgame in the US plan which would see Russia balkanized into a dozen small squabbling countries. Watch the film "The Turkish Gambit" to get an idea of the kind of chess games that Russians are capable of playing.

Admittedly, any other comparable (or even better?) language could lure me just as readily.

I have to agree, the pragmatic and thoughtful approach that the TS team has brought to the language makes it reasonable to write in and easy enough to reason about at any given time. Plus, being a superset means that if you want to 'drop into' JS to take advantage of some quirk or whatever at any time, you can just disable your linter and do the deed.

Coming from a C# and Python fan, TS hits the mark pretty solidly on all levels.

Making a choice to protect people trying new treatments keeps those people safer but the trade-off is that you develop new treatments slower, which means more people suffer and die waiting for treatments.

Developing quickly versus safely are different decisions, but I don't think one is purely stronger or weaker than the other.

Again, not my stereotypes, I don't own them, didn't start them, and don't perpetuate them; I've never spoken about West Virginia outside of this thread.

I'm glad that I was misinformed, in fact, I have to give credit where credit is due: here's an impressive fact on West Virginia from U.S. News -

West Virginia is the 10th most affordable state in the U.S. and ranks third for equal opportunity, scoring especially high in education equality, by race.

The fear of needles and razor blades goes back at least to the 1960's. The actual number of documented cases is very small, and the vast majority of those don't even involve injury. Follow up studies discovered that most of the reports turned out to be hoaxes perpetrated by the kids or parents (an older sibling playing a prank on a younger sibling, then getting scared when the parents found out and letting the parents report it as legit).

"The Razer Blade in the Apple" by Joel Best and Gerald T. Horiuchi concluded in 1985 that the threat of a halloween sadist had been greatly exaggerated from 1958 to 1983.

I’d add “take risks, then do everything you can to reduce the risks.”

Other than possibly in finance, working 100 hours a week _for someone else_ is not going to lead to owning a mega yacht. One needs to actually take the risk and accept the consequences. “Risk” usually is working for no compensation for a while, sometimes years.

(Tech is unique for not absolutely requiring this, in that a VC may be willing to absorb most of the founding risk. The founders receive salaries long before cashflow would support them. In almost any other industry, “owning the means of production” actually means taking that risk yourself.)
This is the physical equivalent of rewriting a complex software system from scratch. Seems like it’ll be less pain and effort than modifying the existing system, yet five years later you end up with a pile of shit that you’re tempted to rewrite from scratch. The next “rewrite” won’t have any humans onboard.

The position that he and Hamilton took was somewhat incoherent in my opinion, since the Constitution did list rights, like the prohibition on ex post facto laws and bills of attainder, and the guarantee of habeas corpus except in times of insurrection.

Hamilton made an interesting argument in Federalist 84, that rights like freedom of the press and of speech are too vague to belong in a legal document, since their interpretation would necessarily be determined solely by political winds. Compare to the more concrete prohibition of ex post facto laws, for example. Nevertheless, the majority of the Bill of Rights turned out to be more like those concrete provisions. The First and Second Amendments are the most notable exceptions, and his predictions have partially panned out. Thankfully, it's been for the better anyway: freedom of speech as we know it would not exist without the First Amendment.
