The answer to your question is poverty. Several studies have shown how poverty has serious negative mental consequences, and how poverty makes everyday tasks significantly more challenging. Especially for someone who grew up poor and is poor as an adult.

https://ivn.us/2014/05/23/the-psychological-effects-of-pover...

> Recent studies suggest that the mental strain undertaken by the poor far surpasses previously expected amounts.

This strain can easily affect one’s ability to succeed in school and/or work, and can even influence one’s ability to pay bills on time. Specifically, poverty affects such cognitive functions as decision-making, memory, focus, patience and even awareness. The scientific reasoning for these shortcomings is linked to the brain’s finite ability. Thus the limited brainpower resulting from poverty infringes on the ability of such people to complete everyday tasks.

The problem with many people’s understanding of the stress of poverty is that they neglect to include the added stress that most U.S. adults face on a daily basis. Such triggers include work, money, health, relationships, poor nutrition, media overload, and sleep deprivation. In fact, 76 percent of U.S. adults correlate work and money to their top stress indicators.

I hear ya. Once the spec is finalized for the year I produce a change log. I have done so in between versions before but things tend to be menial and/or change a lot and it was a lot of work for not too much gain. Willing to go back on this. You can always watch the commits go in here though: https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/commits/master.
Why should anyone value your opinion on this? The person you responded to cited personal experience in working with the homeless. I have a reason to give weight to their opinion.
TLDR: severity is denial of service (as of today) for all of them
Weird how you haven't considered population density, or housing safety regulations, or the state of the economy, or the average productivity of immigrants looking for a better life at the turn of the century compared to the homeless in modern cities...

Almost as if comparing NYC 100 years ago to modern Seattle is total nonsense.
"receive $1500 a month and can't find a residence"

If they are receiving government assistance and not working, then the tie to the particular city isn't strong from a "needing to be there". There are communities in California where one can find two bedroom houses/apartments for $900/mo or less. Rooms, studios, etc. may be even cheaper. It may not be desirable to move to some of those communities, but there are options along the west coast that are affordable to the above situation.

Every day people make decisions of whether or not they can afford to live in a location and if not, move to where they can. A community I am quite familiar with have able bodied homeless people that prefer to live in said community and remain homeless. People working in the homeless services insist we need affordable housing for these people, it's never about whether or not affordable housing is available in other areas.

The area of drug use, mental illness and others is way more complicated. As adults, there is no way to involuntary commit someone to get them help, they will have to want to get help in order to change. It is a huge issue and outside my knowledge-base of how to best handle it.
Semi-trusted. You have total transparency into whether the node is following the rules of the code contract. The node could not, for instance, change values in the DB without doing so via the contract, and that would be logged for all to see. Very important for something like a key server.

There are two things you have to trust, which I mention in the post.

1. That the node is not denying writes. (What's sometimes in blockchains called censorship.) If the node just didn't run your request, you'd be locked out with no evidence. It's not unsolveable, though - you could combat this by using a 3rd party proxy which records the traffic, and thus can back up your claim that you're being censored.

2. That the node won't just shut down. To combat this, you'd need a procedure for moving to a new hosting node. Not impossible either, but you'd need to decide for your userbase what kind of process would make them most comfortable. The blockchain state is there to be cloned at any time.
Feels like this is the cycle of computing.

Think it's unlikely that Waymo will build out and operate a full fledged ride service - there's a lot of other factors to work out like scheduling, routing, supply-demand management, optimal vehicle distribution, pooling etc that they could just delegate to Lyft for.

They might just build a service to the extent of push a button and a vehicle will come, and take you where you tap. That's enough to work inside a controlled town environment. As times goes by there'll likely be a merger with an actual ride sharing company.
While I agree that autofill on its own is not a complete solution to GP's scenario, it's certainly a potential point-of-failure, and I understand their need to eliminate as much risk as possible. While the most significant aspect to be improved is the security habits of the clients themselves, that doesn't mean that GP and their company should be prevented from doing what little they can just because Google wanted things to work their way.
Right, with the implication that only homelessness with those secondary effects is the only homelessness that should be addressed.
I'm not sure I follow you here. When a friend shares an article, for example, the article comes as the owner put it on the web- page, author, etc. When I share that article, I say something like "h/t to kbutler for the find" That give credit in my circle to the person in my circle who found it. It's just a courtesy.
Maybe you've got it backwards? Maybe many people trusted Intel until they learned about the ME and how hard it is to switch it off, and the fact that if you switch it off you should use a special flag requested by the NSA that was previously unpublished.

I certainly trust Intel way less than before some of the more fishy details about the Intel ME got out.

Okay, poorly worded. I think (please correct me if I'm wrong) that in play you have distinct parts of the code-base that are for Java developers, while other parts are for Scala developers.

In Javalin, although some parts are written in Kotlin and some parts are written in Java, there is 0 duplication. If one part is written in Kotlin, both Java and Kotlin developers use that part. If a part is written in Java, both Java and Kotlin developers use that part.

That looks like it is headed in the right direction. I observe that in companies there are stories (often with particpant's names) which exemplify bad practices. Part of the motivation to do better seems to come from not wanting to be the person in one of these stories.
Not necessarily in the scenario they presented. While I haven't been in Copenhagen specifically, I've been in plenty of train cars late at night (think last few trains before service closes) where I'm the only person in the car.

Just like a random onlooker could see you from the platform, someone in another car could see you in your driverless one and call emergency services. The two scenarios are very similar in the end. It's just that the train car has a higher (but far from 100%) chance that you will be noticed more quickly.
I used the term "diskless" but did not intend to imply booting from a network. It probably was a poor choice of words as "diskless" may have a loaded meaning.

The media I create require no network to boot. They only require 1. a computer with an appropriate USB or SD card slot that can boot from USB or SD card, respectively, and 2. sufficient RAM to hold the system.

This sort of usage is what I am curious about on the MacIntosh.
Geee, what a dangerous fool...

What good is the ability to tell whether something is shit or fake or completely out of service when I can’t update or restore or correct it?

That is totally vulnerable in terms of DoS, state actor confiscation, and censorship. Awful!!!
Reading the comments here makes me feel like Google's PR team made its round.

The performance benefit in this has to be miniscule, the number of unmaintained webpages which are irrevocably broken by this has to be huge and the time period from introducing this feature to breaking webpages, which have not yet correctly implemented it, was simply far too short.

Even if you agree with having to enforce this somehow, this rushed execution of that was by all means irresponsible.

Despite that, it seems like 8 out of 10 highly upvoted comments here make no mention of this maybe not having been ideally executed or it maybe not necesseralily being advantageous to users either.
> there's a lot of other factors to work out like scheduling, routing, supply-demand management, optimal vehicle distribution, pooling etc

These things come along the way. If there is a service that's 10x cheaper than Lyft, I could imagine most people would churn to that service. The technology shift from human to completely autonomous driving is so huge that it could just disrupt the current market structure.
It was doing much, much, much less.
It’s a legacy restriction - it was just that they banned any radio transmitters, probably originally because older analogue radio transmitters could interfere with the aircraft’s radios and things.

I don’t think there would have ever been any legitimate concern of low-power digital devices like mobile phones causing any problems like coupling into control systems or anything... Digital radios are typically much better filtered and far lower power than analogue radios.

The company I work for makes satellite antennas for ships and large road vehicles, and the only time we’ve had a problem like that was when somebody mounted a 20kW S-band weather radar three metres from our antenna. It just requires a little extra shielding in one module though.

How so? Until I got to college my second job (after "sandwich artist" at Wendy's) was as a paid contributor to one of the two powerhouse gaming blogs at the time (the one that wasn't Kotaku; if you were in the scene back then, you'd heard of us), back when blogging was first coming to the public consciousness and the term "blogosphere" had yet to be coined. And while in retrospect I'd classify the quality of my own writing as "tabloid amateur" at best (please, God, don't go look at it!), we held ourselves to quite high standards of integrity: we could not accept any gifts from publishers, including paying for our own lodging and airfare when traveling to events; if we attended after-parties (at E3 and such), we had to disclose our presence and acknowledge any conflicts of interest; and when receiving games to review not only did we have to disclose as such, but we were forbidden from keeping any games, so we held raffles in order to award the games to our readers (back when physical copies were the norm, remember). If even our flying-by-the-seat-of-our-pants blog could adhere to standards, why is everyone so dim on the prospect of integrity for game journalists?

I don’t know if probably is the right word. There might be a hard fork there might not. The DAO hack was only three months after the Homestead release. You could credibly say Ethereum was in beta. I think over a year later that’s no longer true.

At the time of the DAO hack there also hadn’t been a public demonstration of the scale and danger of contract hacking. That’s also no longer true.

That said, ETH is an anarchist federation in the end, and the market will decide which reality is most valuable: the one in which the parity hack happened or the one in which it didn’t.
I had concerns about RFI when purchasing my LimeSDR[1] USB version. Perhaps adding more shielding on the back side of the ports and around the unit itself is in order? I imagine that aluminum could help and it is fairly easy to put in place.

Make up even more ridiculous excuses for why this is clearly for the better of all of us and could not have been handled better.
This is exactly my point. Paying "high" taxes if you're getting something good for your money can be worth doing.

Call me a pacifist, but I don't like paying taxes for military equipment that the military leaders themselves have said is not useful for them. But Congress keeps doing it because Boeing and Lockheed keep paying them to do it. I would MUCH rather a good percent of my "defense contribution" go toward lowering education costs for ALL Americans.

Regarding all the taxes you mention, those really are regressive taxes. They make up a greater percentage of poor people's incomes than they do rich people's. Back when gas in the US was over $4/gal, the poor people suffered immensely. The rich people already were able to choose Tahoes with 13mpg and not care, so the extra gasoline bill was not something that affected them. But poor people suddenly had to choose whether they drove to work (to earn minimum wage), or whether they replaced a shoe with a hole in it.

I firmly believe that the reason we get less quality in return for our taxes is because of the absolute corporate control over the majority of Congress. And since elections are driven almost entirely by money, to win a seat you have to accept corporate money and then return the favor (else you're out next election).

From the article --

Imagine Tesla didn’t exist, Steve Jurvetson told me. “What would the world look like? I have this sinking suspicion it wouldn’t look that different than 10 years ago. A bunch of hybrid cars. A bunch of noise about hydrogen vehicles. You know, I don’t think the world would look anything like today — where entire nations are saying, ‘We’re going to stop making gas cars.’ ”

The last thought is the really compelling one for me, what would the world look like if Elon Musk hadn't started SpaceX and Tesla?
The alternative is government mandated poverty. The government hardly ever creates wealth. They can create the conditions for wealth creation by getting the heck out of the way.

To be a bit dramatic, Venezuela, PRK, Sudan, and Cuba all have incredibly low wealth inequality. Except for the rich and corrupt, everybody else has just about the same as everybody else, which is nothing, based on government policies. Hong Kong is cutthroat with high levels of inequality, but it's also an engine of economic growth. Would you really rather like in Sub Saharan Africa than Hong Kong?

EDIT:
And massive wealth and capital concentration brought us Amazon and Google. In exchange for newly minted millionaires being "equal" to us, would you rather live in a world without those technologies - next day shipping and Google Maps and Search?

It depends on what kind of development you're doing.

For most web and business programming I've done, at the end of the day I'm mostly just taking data and transforming it into other data. Most of the time, looking at these programs as a series of functions through which data gets piped to obtain the result works well. As a result I think that functional programming is a good fit a ton of code that is written using OOP. For fun, I tried converting some old side projects to F#. Once I'd gotten used to the language, I ended up being able to express the same ideas more clearly, and with fewer lines of code. Functional programming isn't magic, but it can be very effective when used in the right places.

Lately, I've been getting into game development as a hobby. And when I'm simulating a miniature world with hundreds or thousands of stateful actors, I find that OOP works really well - in that the way to code models the game world aligns well with my mental model of the game world. You absolutely can program games using a functional style - I've just found OOP to be a better fit here for my uses. It's still useful to use a functional approach where you can, though, even inside an OOP game code base. John Carmack has written and spoken about this.

They weren’t exactly sharing an opinion. They called to the claims of the article that contradict the other’s experience. They mentioned—admittedly un-cited—recent evidence that also contradicts the other’s claims of anecdotal experience.
Over a short term, yes, but there's likely to be work done on co-operation + communication standards between autocars. If a cars at an intersection are all auto, a quick Raft election can decide who goes first, so they'll all get to go through much faster. Broadcasting intention can also help with overtaking, trailing, etc. And if road train standards get built in they can all run much faster and more efficiently on highways as well.
> LibreOffice is slow. On a ~2010 business-class Dell laptop that still is in perfectly good physical condition, running Debian 9, with a handful of tabs in Firefox and a mosh running:

Libreoffice is monolithically designed, as shouldn't be representative of the generic performance of modern software.

The reason is that StarOffice was envisioned as desktop environment, therefore, all the components of the suite are loaded on the first startup.

$ libreoffice --writer &
$ time libreoffice --calc --terminate_after_init

real	0m0.104s
user	0m0.016s
sys	0m0.008s

If anything should be compared, then Microsoft Office should be used, as it always had a very fast startup (AFAIK, due to components preloading).

I think the article is very misguided; the problem is in the expectation that anything should be faster, even in contexts that are implicitly slower (networks, i.e. internet), or with features that will inevitably slow down the experience (e.g. browser plugins).

Using as reference the slowest software - Libreoffice, Atom, Firefox - is nothing else than cherry-picking.

In this perspective, a sibling article is correct - if you want faster alternatives, you have them.

And I vaguely remember that ESA/390 is actually 32bit address architecture in hardware and it's 31bitness comes from using highest bit of address as a flag that such tricks are taking place.
"ADHD millenials" generalize much? I am a millenial who loves the 1v1, competitive aspect of SC2, but I also love games like Civ, Crusader Kings, Heart of Iron etc. There are other RTS games out there for you, but I don't understand why SC2 being competitive is a negative thing. Yeah, competitive sc2 games are fast, but a lot of games with a dedicated, competitive playerbases are going to play fast because mechanical, execution advantages are a valid way to win. But watch a pro sc2 game and you'll notice that there is a ton of thought and strategy that go into every game. Sometimes it's a mindgame against the opponent because they have a known playstyle, sometimes it's a clever reaction to the way an opponent is playing in that particular game. You can play aggressively and try to pressure your opponent to make mistakes, or you can play defensively and try to strike when you've spied an opening. Claiming it lacks strategy because of the speed at which games play out is selling it way short.
The autocomplete is somewhat easy to fix in principal. Just offload to a daemon for the autocompletes, for example.

No, I haven't bothered with it. :( I did setup GLOBAL, which is quite nice. Though, many languages nowdays would benefit greatly from a presentation compiler. Which seems silly, at the extreme. It isn't like projects have gotten more complicated in scope. They have ballooned in implementation complexity, though. :(

>If there is a service that's 10x cheaper

Why would a ride service based on autonomous cars be 10x cheaper? It's not like 90% of the current revenue or costs are human labor. I'm not sure the exact ratio of driver labor vs. gas/maintenance/depreciation, but I'm pretty sure it's less than 10:1.
I live in an area where I was unaffected (north of Houston). It really only affects where I'd buy a house in the future, as I'd ensure I'm not near a bayou or creek (my current home, a lease, is outside of that danger zone). If you're open to where you live, and aren't stuck on a certain hot spot, I still think it's a great (if hot with the traffic you mentioned) place to live.
