Best post here and clears it up for me. I just could not figure this out as made no sense. Once out there there is no black mail possible. But if you put some out there to show you are serious it is very effective.

What is unbelievable is how bad this is suggests the rest is off the charts. Well I view this off the charts so the rest thermonuclear.
You can almost already do #1 - just store your dishes in your dishwasher. Pull out the clean dishes you need, put the dirty ones in the sink. When the sink is full, put them in the dishwasher, turn it on. Repeat.

Like I said - almost.

All that would be needed to make this actually work would be to own a second dishwasher, placed next to the first. So instead of putting the dishes into the sink, you put them into the second dishwasher; when it is full, you turn it on, then use it as the source for clean dishes. Ping-pong between the two.

The only other problem is the fact that this system wouldn't work for a large family (more than 2 people and place settings), or for food prep (all the dishes, plus pots and pans, etc) - unless both dishwashers were much larger, or the dishwasher were redesigned as a part of the storage cabinet system, etc.

In other words, the entire kitchen would almost have to be designed around the dishwasher. This is ultimately the solution to the problem, though. In industrial automation, you don't usually design the machines and processes to work like a human would, but rather optimize the processes for the machines, and the machines for the processes, to the point where a human can't even do the tasks any longer with the available machines, because they were designed for other machines to use.

Kitchens are designed around humans; you'd have to re-design the kitchen to be more machine-centric in the utensil/plate storage and cleaning process in order for your "dish robot" to become a reality (in which you would be working inside the "dish robot" you would call a "kitchen"). I really think you could do #1 (and likely #2 as well) - but it would require a huge redesign into what a "kitchen" (and "laundry room") is and how it works (and how humans interact with it) vs how these rooms (and machines within) currently are designed.

As such, I don't expect that such systems would be easy to build, inexpensive, or very flexible to usage. But they would or could be made highly automated.
Interesting, I hadn't heard about that before, but here's a link to an article about it: https://www.defenceaviation.com/2011/05/stealth-uh-60-black-...
Great point. I wonder what Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran think about our reaction, and what ways they see to manipulate it. Most Americans now consider war as "something our all-powerful military does in other places and protects us from worrying about at home." The lack of preparedness you are describing is the result of a mindset that believes any and all attacks will be stopped before reaching the homeland.

Don't do this.

It's useful to know the background of the authors of these stories, and an opinionated summary is helpful --- though more persuasive if written persuasively, rather than as a coded declaration.

It is not useful to reduce articles we simply disagree strongly with to "clickbait". Clickbait is something specific, going beyond even articles written in bad faith (which, if this article is from a "known anti-cyclist", it is not). Clickbait articles are free of substantive content, lacking even easily rebutted arguments.
This is a good criticism, but this is also why I started with "piloting" and the ability to try something else if it doesn't work as big plusses over UBI.

It's true some people are unsuited to industry, and some people are unsuited to child care or elder care. These still are not getting done nearly at the levels we'd like, though.
I've looked at that first article before. Nearly every single example listed could be done with a standard DB and/or required centralised trust. The author of the article doesn't appear to have put two and two together that if the land registry in Ghana wants a centralised public DB then obviously only the land registry itself should ever be allowed to write to that DB and why on earth do you need a massive, slow public network that the registry would need to pay to use just to confirm that it was in fact the land registry when it could just use a private key?

I do however think blockchains are an excellent, useful concept. Verifiable, non-repudiable, write-only audit logs are a fine idea and I can think of many uses for them. I've never heard a reason why they need to be run on inefficient, unscalable, power-hungry, untrusted, adversial public networks, however.

It's hard to see how placing trust in a giant AI would solve the issue. Just offering "fact-checks" that don't deal in context leaves so much open to interpretation. The major leftist/rightist media networks do what they do not as much through blatant lying (though that happens) as with technically-defensible interpretations of factual events, selective coverage/reporting, and twists of terminology (democracy vs populism, government vs regime, article vs screed, etc). When people call upon services like fact-checkers or find individual studies to wield in argument, the goal ends up being to find mental stopsigns to be able to dismiss the opponent's argument and totem-like symbols of legitimacy to prop your own arguments up.

I don't know what the way out is, but I can't imagine externalizing our thinking/reasoning even more would be the way.

Some traffic engineers¹ argue that the problem comes from humans adopting the mechanical role of a "driver" who is entitled to seek the quickest route by a set of rules which they understand and adhere to imperfectly. Instead of trying to encourage everyone to pretend to be a robo-driver they emphasize returning to self-evidently confusing and complex environments which put the onus on the driver to negotiate.

>Using an address + length format would cost one more byte of overhead than an address + magic_marker format, and their PDP computer had limited core memory.

I find this interesting - why only one more byte of overhead? That would've limited string lengths to 256. So 2 bytes would seem the minimum, and even then, how do you go to 4 bytes once memory becomes cheap without breaking everything? Using NUL-termination, the upper bound for a string is effectively the amount of memory the OS is willing to give you, and code can keep working without modification for decades.

Am I missing something here?
Hah, yes, I agree!

But with a difference of point to point rather than line-based. Autonomous technology will probably mean a kind of union between private and public transport, and between road and metro rail.
Anecdotal, but in my building and several of my friends the landlords are just letting units sit open for months, as they flat out refuse to lower rents. They're actually remodeling one of them in an attempt to justify the(really, honestly ridiculously high) rents.

So they may be dropping on the high end, but across a lot of people i've talked to the low to mid end is stubbornly holding strong and refusing to see the writing on the wall that a beat up older apartment building just... isn't worth this much.

I have seen rents overall dropping on craigslist, especially for larger harder to rent units. They're down quite a bit from this summer if you're willing to split a 3+ bedroom apartment or house, when they were absolutely stratospheric before(often close to the same as just renting multiple cheap studios)

So the gist is that they can get better transaction throughput because they serialize transactions with a distributed clock rather than by locking? Isn't there also usually a query latency trade-off with higher consistency?
> This assumption completely disregards the measurable advantage men have in the tech community.

There is obviously an imbalance in the industry, but can you please provide proof that this is due to an advantage that men have?

> If you have identical programs, one for a historically disenfranchised group, and one for the group that's been in power for decades, only one of those programs is shitty.

Why would fighting racism with racism or sexism with sexism be a productive method of correcting imbalances? Wouldn't that just fuel and maintain the disdain between groups?
> The measurable advantage men have in the tech community

What is that advantage and how is it measured ?
I have worked at a bank and they definitely didn’t use eventual consistency for transactions. Money could be in flight when it transitions inside the bank, but never to client due to fraudulent behaviors, regulations etc. However not all transactions were not dealt with electronically and they were treated differently and mostly outside the systems until effective.

I don't know. The interface could be better, but a different interface wouldn't necessarily stop someone who's confused from sending the wrong alert. How many times do you see a dialog box and click "yes" without even reading it? I do it all the time, and it's usually fine... except sometimes I think "wait, what did I just agree to!?" Someone under pressure to get that drill going can easily make the same mistakes, no matter what hoops you make them jump through. Someone who thinks they read the text but didn't comprehend it can easily click through just about anything.

In the end, the correct process is probably have two people activate the alert, so that two people have to independently not read the dialog boxes or whatever to send a false alarm. But maybe that doesn't work either, I haven't done any research to that effect and don't really know.

On some level, I like the interface. There is a list of possible alerts, and you click the one you want to send to send it. It's just that it doesn't account for the possibility that the user doesn't ACTUALLY want to send the one they clicked. The same problem exists with any powerful tool. Hammers don't check that you're hammering a nail and not your thumb. Cars don't ask "there appears to be a pedestrian, are you sure you meant 'accelerate' and not 'brake'?"

#crunch – fun, addicting number sorting game
#crunch is a fun, addicting, simple number sorting game involving math arithmetic. You are given a list of numbers or math expressions and are asked to sort as many sets of numbers as possible within the time period. You get more points for sorting a number set fast in a particular round. To sort a number/expression, you drag your finger on the right side of the number/expression card and move it up and down moving around the numbers. Each time you move a card it checks if the numbers are sorted. If they are you move on to the next round. Once the time runs out you are able to enter your username to be put on the high score leaderboard. You can also share with your friends after playing a certain number of times.

I used Ember for almost 2 years. My experience was mostly good (see my comment regarding Ember Data--which apparently has no counterpart for React), but it enforces breaking things up into separate files a little too stringently. Routes, Controllers (at least until Components can safely replace them), Components, Templates, and Helpers (even for the most trivial operations which, IMO, are OK to sometimes include in the view).

Not to mention Ember does not use standard ES6 classes yet.

You can scrap most of Ember and just use Glimmer Components, but then all you have is a View layer, so you are not much better off than you are using React. And you __still__ have to use separate template files and helper functions.

You'd think someone so opposed to "fake news" as it's called would also be a fan of centralization. The mainstream news coverage of the 2016 election was objectively in favor of Clinton with perhaps the exception of Fox News and a few other small outlets, if you were to presuppose that her election was the "correct" outcome for democracy wouldn't that be exactly the direction you would follow?

Is Leap for people who are i) female, ii) identify as a woman, or iii) both?

I ask because I have a few friends who are biologically female, but genderqueer (by which they mean that they don't prescribe to the cultural stuff that is usually attached to gender). Would this be suitable for them?

As a more general note, since this looks to be a community that's about inclusion and addressing discrimination, it might be worth taking care not to conflate "female" and "woman".
What do you want out of this discussion?

Logic and speculation doesn't explain history. If you think the propaganda wasn't the only reason, then bring some historical evidence rather than opinion.

The fact that some other countries don't have jaywalking laws, even though everyone everywhere agrees that walking in the street can be dangerous is already evidence that jaywalking laws are not a given.

Someone else already mentioned this here, but that is not how US traffic laws are created. The public doesn't have to agree or disagree with it. It can sometimes influence the process, but public opinion doesn't usually make or break traffic laws.

i can see where SDN might be applied to build your own machinery for inter domain routing, but how does it help in the broader internet where bgp is applied?

sure, I guess if you developed a new mechanism for resolving transitive policy with baked in authentication, and got everyone to agree to use it, you wouldn't need to convince the router vendor. but it seems like the first two things are harder than the third.

I am interested in the answers to these tough questions as well. I can sympathize with the position women are in and can understand the strong desire to form an organization like Leap. To that end, I applaud and support them.

However, I do wonder about comments like this:

Progressives are currently combatting this same kind of
toxic / exclusionary behavior in men that exacerbates the inequality between men and women to this day.

I’m sure if it is “measurable” you can provide some numbers?

A bit of topic obviously here. But that's how overall I feel about Apple's UI experience or product design in general. The UI interaction if you think about is also a protocol of sorts - between user and the device.

Say user scans the the preferences window, finds the checkboxes they were looking for , picks one, clicks on it, it reacts back and is marked as such and so on. Now try to reduce the number of needed actions and decisions needed by the user there. Maybe they don't have to click "Apply" button when done. Or maybe there are only 2 checkboxes. Or they are not even in the preference menus at all.

The comparison with the other company makes no sense. A company has a "single point of failure". At this point there's waayy too many actors and people who want Bitcoin to succeed.

The market is huge at this point. Like NASDAQ is like 7T IIRC. Crypto is today ~550B. It was like ~750B not too long ago.

Note how there's no glue joining the idea of the company and crypto. It could go down but it could also go really up even higher.

It's funny how the one thing that North Korea agrees with the West on is how dope Bitcoin is. Like in some sense NK, is very vested in this going well.

This make sense but only for websites that are actually shared in social media (assuming you also pull Facebook, Twitter, VK, etc).

For other websites with high traffic but with less shares, this does not work (adult websites, tools, etc).
1 additional byte of overhead would give you 2 bytes for the length, since you wouldn't have to have the NUL byte at the end of the string.

You could do some kind of variable int encoding scheme, where longer strings would require more bytes for length, with some overhead to indicate how many length bytes are required for each string.
That seems a bit ridiculous. Being paid UBJ to clean highways, with incentives to be on time and not miss days would vastly improve one's health and build effective job and time management skills, something that playing video games all day wouldn't.
