> I'd bet the majority of bing traffic comes from such workplaces.

I'd agree with you on that bet. I stumbled onto that revelation when I was running PPC campaigns for B2B software. Bing is a hidden goldmine when it comes to that demographic, thanks to the captive market and the fact that essentially all marketing agencies blatantly ignore Bing's existence so there's no keyword competition.
> It's a small one

I beg to differ. No cash means:

- kids will have even less opportunities to be kids. We are creating a word where they can't screw around. It's terrible for their growth.

- you have no workaround for any situation that doesn't fit the box perfectly. No way to speeds things up. Removing by passes mean a rigid and unforgivable system.

- you remove any possibility to try alternative systems, since by definition alternatives don't work in the way the current one does. Actually they often offend the current system. But you need those alternative to exists over-wise, you get stuck.

- of course, it also means morality is going to become law. Unable to hide, people leaving differently will be exposed.

- you'll get dependent on electronics. It means you need to have the privilege to have access to equipment and services otherwise you are excluded from society. Also in case of infrastructure failure, society is on hold.

This not a "little corner of privacy", it's "a huge part of what's allow us to function in this imperfect world".

An imperfect system needs workarounds. It's very important. Otherwise you'll get worst than a Gilliam's Brazil dystopia.

Overbuild production capacity sufficiently and the need for storage size goes down fast.

(If your grid can supply twice your need at full power it will still be enough with half the sun and wind, and the storage will be filled faster and used less. We actually ran the numbers.)

If I understand your point correctly, it is not a problem. If your TCO-ed recursive function calls Java functions, they will expand the stack temporarily, but it will all be popped back to your stack frame by the time they return. It is no different than if you made the same calls from an equivalent non-recursive function.

I noticed the same thing, and looked around for other sources, which (I guess predictably) point out that while this creates some regulatory problems in the immediacy (you need to be able to predict stocks to set harvest numbers), it's not the first time this has happened and the expectation is that the numbers will rebound.

As I understand they needed to download images from any external servers using an URL. I am not sure if that is possible even with CORS.

Also they don't save preview images and generate them when needed as I understood. So what you are suggesting requires a lot of disk space to keep thumbnails that might be never needed later.

And if you don't have millions of uploads per day then it makes no sense trying to save some seconds of CPU time by unnecessarily complicating the system. In most languages there already are libraries for resizing images.

>And this is exactly why many schools of socialist thought see centralized state control, even in a democratic state, as generally private property; the particular workers whose labor is applied to the means of production have their control so diluted by other parties that the control is almost as completely alienated from them as in the case where they have no ownership.

That's interesting to me, because a situation where the workers whose labor was applied to the means of production retain complete control seems like private property to me.

A situation where the control of property is held by an agent of the commons doesn't seem private precisely because the commons includes people that have no ownership from applied utility. Essentially, it's as if no-one's labor has been applied at all and in those cases the resources belong to the public.

Here's the article from a more reputable, less "doomsday prepper" source: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/environment/climat...
We need a Pearl Harbor or 9/11 level event to drive people to action. However, the back-to-back world-wide coral bleaching events didn't do it, and the back-to-back record breaking storms in both the Atlantic and Pacific this year didn't do it.

By the time it gets destructive enough that effective mass action becomes possible, I fear it will be too late for us.
No. Considering Chernobyl on its own, treating all radiation exposure cases which are above the statically insignificant cancer rate threshold as deaths, and coal is still more dangerous per kWh. [Source](http://www.the9billion.com/2011/03/24/death-rate-from-nuclea...).

After the accident, Chernobyl continued to provide power to Ukraine, up until it's last reactor was shutdown in 2000.
That makes it the defining moment, IMO. I did not say the "starting moment" or something similar. There is simply nothing that compares.

I see Kurzweil as a sadder figure: someone who achieved a lot as an inventor, and whose overblown prognostications about the future come (largely) from overestimating how quickly everyone else can improve technologies and adopt them. It's sort of a revenge of the mediocrity principle. If you are exceptional, assuming that other people are basically like you can produce disastrously skewed mental models of the world.

I'm reminded of the complaint that startups are disproportionately geared toward solving the problems of highly educated, able-bodied adults who have more money than spare time. "I'm like this, my friends are like this, and by the principle of mediocrity we're not unusual... therefore, iOS could use another food delivery app." You need to measure, rather than guess, whether you are unusual relative to large numbers of other people.

On top of that Kurzweil appears to have some good old fashioned self-delusion about death: believing he can "bring back" his beloved dead father as software, the life extension supplements, etc. (I don't believe in souls or uncomputable quantum woo in brains. I have no problem in principle with "brain uploads." I think that the obstacles in practice are extremely formidable and typically underestimated by people who have spent more time with computers than with biology.)
I'm sorry I'm being so aggravating too. We're hurt most by those to which we're closest! I've been using FogBugz for almost a decade now, and it's been overall really positive. But I'm sad that it hasn't really kept up.

You mentioned using other tools – "like GitHub for integrated version control". I can't understand why anyone would use GitHub and FogBugz/Manuscript. GitHub already does pretty much everything FogBugz does, plus it's like 'embedded version control' instead of just 'integrated'.

Maybe Anil will push thru some fucking Markdown support tho before I'm finished migrating to GitLab. You guys (the extended Fog Creek family anyways) are probably half the reason why Markdown has been so widespread [i.e. Stack Overflow]. FogBugz has been marketed forever as being just for making software! How can you have relegated all of your users to using 'rich text' for so many years? Why?!

(Also, would you please add a 'description' to the cases so everyone can see, at the top of the case, a checklist [written in Markdown!] with everything that needs to be completed before the case can be closed? And how 'bout some case description templates too why'll you're at it?)

We can run our own Firefox Account servers. A privacy-focused hosting co-op could run that as part of their services, or someone could run their own at home (but that's not useful to the general public).

People get annoyed of being told x-y-z is not secure, while not being offered any practical solution, especially if the risk/probability of attack is low.

(I'm assuming Firefox has a good reason for working the way it does, but I guess the first step would be to have more documentation about that.)
Well I appreciate the link. That's certainly easier than editing properties in about:config.

First: Please don't use "Edit" for responding to responses to your comment; it make following threads much, much harder.

On Topic:

> Some people mention having original highest-resolution images are important. I don't think that is true for most applications.

It is true for every application when the next generation of displays hits the market. The question is not the long term usability of our current low-res images but just the migration to the next step. At the moment Acorn announces their new APhone and has a million handsets sold by tomorrow, you want your service to deliver at least viewable images. It's not always the app that sets the bar, sometimes
it is the device.

You've exhaustively listed every nuclear accident recorded and said, "That's a melt-down every 24 years" as if that were something terrible. The numbers do not support you. Nuclear has less deaths per kilowatt hour produced than coal by orders of magnitude, and even kills less people than hydroelectric, solar, or wind power.

Even if we did consider deaths from catastrophic events somehow "worse" than the occasional, not-so-newsworthy death, look at the Banqiao dam breakage. That's rarely brought up as an argument against hydroelectric power.

Nuclear is hated due to superstition and fear-mongering. Please don't add to it; it's our only thoroughly demonstrated alternative to large-scale fossil fuel consumption.

I think the comment above is understated. There is evidence that psychoactive compounds have been used since at least 3000BCE in Mesoamerica. Looking into it it seems lead was first mined around the same time in Greece but the lead sweetener idea wasn't popular until the roman empire. Note that there were reports even back then of health issues associated with the practice.

It is called Elasticsearch and not Elasticdatabase, at one point it sounded like good idea to jump on the nosql bandwagon.

It is a fantastic idea to call the index directly from the frontend and could be solved with a read only type of index or api key with read only scope.

The current design with an unnecessary security layer outside of Elasticsearch is a poor idea adding too much administrative overhead and ridiculous latency.

I think you’re assuming that there’s some minimum bar for “literacy, ability to work in an office environment, etc.” and that everyone above that bar is of fairly equal value to employers. I think you’re also assuming that nearly everyone can be brought up to this bar (note: if employers believed this, they could hire people without college degrees for cheap and train them on the job). As soon as you look at these traits as existing on a non-binary spectrum though, and employers wanting to hire people at an appropriate place along the spectrum (the most desirable workers obviously being more expensive to hire), I think it becomes obvious that any sort of filter that lets through everyone or nearly everyone is not going to end up being very valuable.
Depends on where and which countries you consider "Europe".

The article says, "Earth's destruction" but it doesn't really mean that. It's more about the extinction of humans and other life.

That's great, and needs to continue, but it hasn't happened organically.

There have been significant investments in economic, political, and social support of renewables which have enabled that growth. Also, the rising price of oil has made it more competitive.

Renewable energy has been promoted. Nuclear energy detractors have only advocated against it, rather than fighting the more difficult "shut down the nuclear plants and also spend money on more renewables" fight, they went with just "shut down the nuclear plants". Coal was the unintended result.
That's known as the Gambler's fallacy. Basically, "Assuming that whatever happened before will happen again (e.g. I got away with murder last time so it'll be fine for me to murder someone again now)". Just because there have been failures doesn't mean there will continue to be failures. Consider the industry evaluates each of these issues and knows how to prevent against them in the interim. Not to mention ongoing science to improve the efficiency and stability of these systems.

The Main Reasons Why Startups Fail in the Food and Drink Industry
But I think they know that, yet have chosen a path that is feasible both socially and economically. The end goal hasn't changed, I still think they're in the process of making a transition that (hopefully) will serve as a template for the rest of us Europeans on the long run. The approach is radically cynical and pragmatic, but I think the future will go to prove that it was the best way forward.

I'm saying that as a citizen of a country that has deep involvement and investment in those "perfectly fine nuclear plants". I can tell you that the dramatic aging of some of the most ancient nuclear facilities in the country is worrying (to say the least) and the shady business we have to get into to get (and dispose of) the needed fissile material is a terrible burden on our ability to be a voice for good on the world scene.

Is burning coal the perfect solution? Surely not. Yet, our neighbors beyond the Rhine are already world-class producers of solar panel, they've steered away from nuclear energy and their ability and willingness to explore energetic alternatives is an encouraging sign for our collective future.

So again, I hope they succeed.
No, it matters what his reasoning is, too, as it relates to just being lucky (or as I tell my nieces when they’re studying for a science class and guess the right answer: if you’re right for the wrong reasons, you’re still wrong.)
