I think the proposition of death is a bit of a stretch. Definitely inconvenient, though.

FWIW, dumb appliances could have done the same thing.

A furnace that stops working in the dead of winter while away can still burst your pipes if they get cold enough, a broken appliance (and an operator unwillingly to change the situation) can still cause someone to freeze the death or suffer from a deadly heatstroke.

This particular issue cited first probably has mostly to do with the fact that nest really wants you to have a 24V power source for the thermostat (A "C" or "Common Wire"). They've figured out how to make it work without for most systems, but that relies on an internal battery.

I meant it like this: 'If the windows access control dialog box had "Cancell" instead of "Cancel" it's a bug in a security feature, but not an attack surface.'

Now, you can make a semantic argument that it's a security issue based on what team needs to fix it, but IMO that's a meaningless distinction for users. What's distinct about a security bug is what it allows to happen.
> You linked to a Wikipedia article listing historical hurricanes."

Which gives the source: "Chronological List of All Hurricanes which Affected the Continental United States: 1851-2012". National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/All_U.S._Hurricanes.html

> I'll refer you to the NOAA page for hurricane / climate studies, which answers all your points.

No, actually, it doesn't.

"It is premature to conclude that human activities–and particularly greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming–have already had a detectable impact on Atlantic hurricane or global tropical cyclone activity."

"Premature to conclude" is a euphemistic way of saying "we have no evidence".

"Anthropogenic warming by the end of the 21st century will likely cause tropical cyclones globally to be more intense on average (by 2 to 11% according to model projections for an IPCC mid-range scenario)."

Your page says that it "likely" (how likely? They don't say.) will cause them to be 2-11% more intense by the end of the 21st century (not now).

It also says "That said, human activities may have already caused changes that are not yet detectable"

Those are vague claims that are not falsifiable (in other words, they are not science). Could there be "undetectable" changes? Sure. Could the whole thing be controlled by angry mythological dwarves? Or excited unicorns? Sure. But those hypotheses are not science.

What I said was that there is no evidence that the frequency or intensity of hurricanes has increased. And there is no such evidence. Sorry.

It's a double-edged sword. I've hired some pros on Thumbtack and Taskrabbit that were industry veterans and had to struggle to re-earn their reputation when starting from fresh on gig sites. They probably really would have benefitted from being able to carry a reputation from other systems.

Making reputation-follow "opt-in" makes a lot of sense. (Perhaps with egregiously negative reputations being weighted at least somewhat.)
And all the "gotcha" folk stumble on the "as far as is possible and practicable" part.

This is so indicative of the difference between the US and China.

So in China they're looking at a Social Credit System (which has been talked about here before [1][2]) which is a government program which would apply to all Chinese citizens and rate their trustworthiness. It's seen as authoritarian, providing no way to start over, etc.

Here in America we've got this post and it's implication that we're going to institute a similar social credit system except it will come from corporations, not government and it won't apply to everyone, only gig workers. It's seen as an interesting technical problem and a way to increase market efficiency.

A tale of two viewpoints.

Exactly, I'm vegan but I have a leather jacket I bought before transitioning. I will use it until it wears out. Some vegans would sell/throw out all their non-vegans clothes afraid of what others might think, but a lot of vegans do not care much.
Six frigates was a wonderful account of a fascinating time in American history. For those who have not heard of it, it is about the founding of the American navy.

I loved the glimpse of innovative American culture in those times: individuals with no experience building warships developing vessels capable of standing toe to toe(and in some cases, defeating!) the otherwise dominant British navy.

Any Reason code can be linked to OCaml code, because OCaml = Reason. In fact, they are only syntactically different. That is, Reason is an alternate syntax for OCaml. BuckleScript/js_of_ocaml can be used in either language, which is to say that any OCaml code can be compiled to JS libraries assuming there are no dependencies that will fail on JS (no need to convert to Reason code or anything).

> Being able to use Ocaml [...] packages is a feature

It's not, it's a necessity. OCaml and Reason are the same language; it's not like Erlang vs. Elixir which both run on BEAM.

My first Mac was he Titanium PowerBook, loved it really, but eventually the hinges developed cracks and caused screen flickering.

Mostly now I’m happy with the hardware still using mbp for development, iPad Air, & iPhone; but have noticed the degrade in software stability on all devices.

OS updates make me nervous and don’t address the issues I run into : general performance, responsiveness, Bluetooth device connectivity and hibernation.

I like tqkxzugoaupvwqr’s theory - maybe Apple is more focused on a swift rewrite and unified OS. In general all software and os releases feel rushed and incomplete.

Yeah, but if you post-process the impulse response, it's difficult to end up with something else that "looks" as much like a real impulse response. If that's important to you.

Information (intelligence, counter-intel, deception), logistics, maneuvering, and geography, are quite often the deciding factor; more-so than actual combat or the weapons used. It's quite amazing how few leaders/generals truly understand The Art of War. Early on I believe Napoleon understood the framework (see: Austerlitz), but as what usually happens without fail: he got greedy (e.g. invading Russia).

This quote in particular resonates:

"All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near." Ch1, verse 18
Swatch Internet Time and UTC solve the same problem: they both present a timezone- and locale-agnostic, almost-monotonous scale that's two-ways convertible with local times. Except UTC is more natural to reason about, because it looks like a local timestamp, and some people can do offset math in their head to approximate the real answer. You have to do much more conversions between Swatch Internet Time and local time, so you always need a tool.

The applicability of timestamp conventions for setting business meetings is largely dependent on how easily one can look up the same moment across multiple IANA timezones [1]. For example, looking up how typical local working hours cascade between different timezones [2]. If multi-converters like this became mainstream, Swatch Internet Time may very well have been a hit. But it wasn't, and such a tool, even for UTC, remains hard to find.

I'm skeptical about the truth of this statement, but open minded. Could you provide a source?
"10 customers at $10,000 per month is better than 10,000 customers at $10 per month"

In general, I agree with you but this particular statement can go both ways. If you only have 10 customers, losing 2 customers means losing 20% of your revenue which could be huge. Also, sometimes it may not be bad to sell something at $10/Month to a huge number of customers if the support needs are minimal. So it depends.

Interesting outcome.

The final html code from the first example is not that bad. There's the usual problem of beginner coders of too much div wrapping that probably isn't really necessary. I'm curious if the system can also create the css. The css also suggests a beginner coder, such as an overuse of unnecessary clear classes because of the overuse of floats for layout. Or having extra class names for things that are easily handled by a parent class reference, such as a "last" class on the last li in the list. Although, it appears the css is just a template obtained online. More on that later.

The second example using bootstrap is a soft failure in my eyes. Although the html does render correctly in the browser, which is because browsers do their best to render crappy html, the code is rough. The main problem is it decided to render the head element as a header element. Compared to the first example I'm shocked that this is the generated output. The usage of bootstrap does pose an interesting thought in that the content section of the html is more precise than the first example.

My reaction to this is it's a decent try at generating a website based on very strict rules assuming that more than half of the website creation process still requires a human to complete. For example, I could see this working quite well if one were to design your mockups strictly be bootstrap, or a template, and provide that css beforehand. If the mockup is custom outside of the template/bootstrap css then it'll have to generate that css itself. Which I think I'm more curious if that's possible. Generating html is easy as you can establish ground rules of "use this series of nested elements for this situation" and so on. The examples provided could just as easily be created by a drag-and-drop system that allows a non-coder to build a basic website. For that matter, use a markdown to bootstrap converter and train your writers/editors on the bootstrap basics and off you go.

But it sure did look like a fun learning exercise. As a front end dev, I'm not worried over my future and would be curious to see where it goes.

This is the "dinosaurs" argument, and it's mostly just annoying. Did humans inflict death, farming or other suffering on animals in order to make those plants? Not as far as I know.

Like, go look into more interesting things, like the fertiliser and non-food products that are difficult to avoid if you want something interesting, but even then you'll find that veganism can be quite pragmatic. But don't throw non-problems like the above at people.

I built this as an exercise in product management - even though it is just a little extension, I want to run it as if it were a revenue-generating product so that I can gain experience in that area.

"Veganism is a way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing and any other purpose." - The Vegan Society

Veganism for most is more than just food, it's includes seeking to reduce animal exploitation and suffering in any aspect of your life.

People who eat a vegan diet but ignore animal product consumption in leather, wool, cosmetics are not considered vegan by most vegans, it's usually referred to as "plant-based diet".

There is certainly a sizable segment of vegans who are dead-set on converting everyone to veganism. It's a minority, but a sizable one.

These are the people who possibly annoy you online and at restaurants and who are featured in anti-vegan memes.

The majority are perfectly content with just being vegan themselves, and you probably wouldn't know until you asked.

Having used contactless cards, I'm not sure if I agree with the comparison. Contactless cards don't save you just seconds, since people in front of you in the line use them also.

OmniGraffle 7.6.1 with License Key for Mac OS X
There are lots of small improvements that could be made to this system. Passengers are often left in the dark about what is happening, and so can't make informed decisions about which train to take, or whether to take the train at all. Announcements are rare except when trains are to be rerouted. The overhead signs that report arrival time estimates and delays are not always visible from the turnstile. And on the Lexington Ave line local track, most of those signs do not show the express train times, so transferring from the local to the express is always a gamble.
Well, hyperloop was kind of bullshit that now appears only made up for cheap publicity aka PR stunt.

Then there is the promise of taking humanity to "mars", which quite honestly, sounds a bullshit claim at this point. It wold have held more water, if they said it after making real tech breakthroughs (Ie not stunts like landing a rockets, which only guillable people finds magical because they were not tech savvy to know that it was possible with tech that is half a century old).

The concept seems straightforward but where did they start getting into trouble?

I'm very "sentience" oriented, and have a (relatively, for a veg person) high bar for one, so personally I consider them fair, um, game. But one probably shouldn't put "vegan" on the label.

Hmm, what does that mean?

Open source increases the ability of individual authors to develop skills which are transferable, which is advantageous in the job market. Simultaneously, being able to hire expertise in a given open source technology is valuable enough that it is worthwhile for companies to pay a premium for it.

So I'd assert that indeed, open source is beneficial for labor's wages. (At least for those workers who participate in it, as there is a barrier to entry which is easier to overcome if you have the time and resources to invest.)
Is the OCaml compiler really the same as those others though? I'd say it's more complex than that. It has a very large middle-end that most compilers don't. Things that are pluggable so far:

- Lexing/Parsing (ReasonML)
- Preprocessing (PPX)
- Backend (BuckleScript/js_of_ocaml)

Other parts of the compiler (not as pluggable?):

- Typechecking (which is really what makes it OCaml; TyPpx allows some changes)
- Semantics (can be overridden with PPX somewhat)
- Optimizations/middle passes (things like Flambda)
