Even maintaining current capacity would be an improvement over what's happening right now. They are intentionally trying to reduce the number of drivers before the transit system is ready to handle them.
Still none of your business. You get upset when someone interferes with you, but think it's ok interefering? Such hypocrisy.
Privacy works with how your treatment differs from a "reasonable expectation" of a person in your position. For a high governnent official, generally accepted treatment is zero privacy for the person himself, unless a crime is committed (you don't get to break in to film them, but feel free to use a zoom lens). For their family stricter norms are usually held.

So there could not have been a reasonable expectation of privacy on the deck of a yacht in the middle of public space in the first place.

Secondly you get to spread pictures as long as you're (reasonably) in them.
Totally agree. One thing I am noticing that a lot of people don't respect light exercise. Either you have to do something extreme like Crossfit or you may as well do nothing. It's like most photos of yoga people are super fit, skinny people in their twenties so a lot of people are scared to even start.

Internal vs. external iteration
As I understood it when they enter new markets (and maybe in other cases?) they sometimes end up paying out the drivers more than the rider paid. I personally remember a handful of occasions in SF when they had absurdly low rates for some period of time (like the two dollar rides when UberPool first started) where they were definitely losing money on every ride.
No, you continue to smell just fine for about 24 hours or until you induce yourself to sweat (exercise, sauna, wearing too many clothes for conditions). The bacteria and their food have literally been washed off of your skin and it takes them some time to regrow into sufficient numbers to produce odor.

What mechanism of applying body soap do you think persists after showering? Either way, the bacteria are mostly gone and more importantly their food is mostly gone. Of course, they immediately start trying to grow back, whether you used soap or not.

(I don't see any reason the tooth-brushing metaphor is warranted, since it seems to introduce more differences than similarities.)
I'm really hopeful for this and things like beyond meat, anything that will reduce of the misery and suffering of the animals we eat.
Account is probably dead-banned. Other comments are relevant but dead as well.
Not trying to sound mean with this suggestion, and I know it’s easier said than done, but have you considered telling him?

It will be awkward, but walking around smelling is going to hurt him in all areas of his life.

Better not hold your breath for that one..
I've always found this debate interesting. I own a few guns and don't want to see my rights restricted. But I also don't feel comfortable with the thought of my kid's teacher carrying a gun. And while I don't dismiss the possibility of armed teachers being a deterrent for school shootings, I do question the fact that so many other countries that have more restrictive gun control laws also have far fewer homicide rates (especially in mass shooting situations).

As a scientist, it feels like I'm looking at a dataset of the rest of the world that shows a strong correlation between strict gun control and lower homicide rates. But then I say to myself, "maybe we (America) can have less gun control, which will cause us to exhibit even lower homicide rates". But I know that thought doesn't really make sense.
I was going to ask which kind (dryer or washer, or plastic or wool) because my household uses those wool balls in the dryer, but now that I actually read about it they don't seem to do shit either...

Should they be extradited to the U.S. to face our jurisdiction?

I don’t think so. I don’t want India to have the power to extradite me if I send an email to a someone in India that they deem blasphemy or destabilizing or whatever. You’re talking about clearcut fraud, which is more sympathetic but the underlying legal precedent is what terrifies me.

It is a violation of human rights to subject people to laws that they have no democratic say in.

Also, in your example about Facebook, you do have a choice. Leaving aside that they’re global and have an EU presence and should thus be complying, if Facebook was US-based only, you are sending a request to their servers. You’re responsible.

Now, maybe the site in question also bears some culpability for what their partners do with their customers’ data, but I don’t see how Facebook is responsible for every law and jurisdiction for where those requests originate. If you don’t want Facebook to have your data, don’t send it to them! Blocking those requests is incredibly trivial, and the onus should be on you the sender, not the receiver.
The problem described is exactly why I wrote a short "How to Code" primer a couple years ago. It teaches some basics of Javascript. Javascript, at least in the browser, can be run with no extra dependencies. Everyone has a web browser these days.

Not run at all I think. Go is more strongly coupled to systems than most languages as it implements a lot itself, eg it directly uses the (non stable) syscall interface on osx.
During regular working hours? No way! 545 is awesome and takes ~30 minutes to Seattle. So an hour is more realistic. Even carpool is not bad with much better HOV coverage.
>They all have high motivation to arrive to exactly the conclusion they have arrived

That isn't the case for many of the involved parties (for example the Dutch government, or Mitch McConnell.) And I'm not sure I agree with your argument that "pin it on Russia" would be the most face-saving lie (compared to "just call it a leak" for example.)

Look, I share your desire to see the actual evidence first-hand; "just trust us" rarely sits well with me either.

But if this is a lie, it's a remarkably well-coordinated lie, apparently agreed upon by many sources with competing or even conflicting motivations and biases. Even in your description of your own research you appear to concede that there is evidence connecting the hacking to, if not necessarily the Russian government, then at least Russians; and that it was certainly in the Russian government's interest; and that what information is currently public tends to fall in line with the information we're told is still secret. (I hope I'm not mischaracterizing your statements here, I do appreciate the amount of detail and thought apparent in your comment)

It's true that the public doesn't have, as you say, "conclusive proof" at this time. But many people seem to be taking that lack of conclusive proof as evidence that it's all just fake news, a huge cross-party conspiracy to mislead the public.

(And the conspiracy theorists oddly always gloss right over the question of who did do the hacking if not the Russians, they're just certain that it wasn't the Russians, because the government and the media says it was the Russians, and everybody knows you can't trust the government or the media.) (And that mistrust, of course, is the precise goal of the Russian disinformation campaigns we do have conclusive proof exist. So that's an interesting detail.)

That's the part I can't get past. On the one hand you have a plausible, coherent explanation which fits all the available evidence; on the other hand you have... well... what? Unsupported free-form skepticism, as far as I can tell.
Google, facebook, etc are pretty horrible surveillance networks if that is what they are, considering you can just choose to not communicate with their services and they aren't surveilling you any more.
> Options specified by cgo using #cgo CFLAGS and the like are now checked against a whitelist of permitted options. This closes a security hole in which a downloaded package uses compiler options like -fplugin to run arbitrary code on the machine where it is being built.

How strong is the guarantee of "no code execution during build"?

I'm currently working on a Go build system and my understanding is that the Go compiler was designed for compiling untrusted code. You'd have to exploit the compiler on order to get RCE, right?

(I'm sandboxing it either way, but it's good to know for risk assessment)
It's actually slower to not use exceptions and what you describe is not an advantage - exceptions also force you to deal with it or pass it along, if the exception is checked. Bounds check failures aren't of course because that would be incredibly inconvenient and unwieldy, and anyway, you'd just pass it all the way up the stack to some much higher level point which is the only place you can sanely do something (like not render the string at all).
Very useful case for simple computer vision. I like it.

I wonder if something like this would be useful for large brands to detect if someone was using their logo on a website, or an item picture on an e-commerce site.
During QE they didn't just give the money to the banks, they bought stuff from the banks. This introduced new money into the system without being unduly unfair (although by the nature of buying a lot of things at once the price was lower than it would otherwise have been).

This means that when the BoE wants to contract the money suply (as it's doing now) it has assets to sell off.

If it printed money and then gave it away then it would be in a sticky situation if it wanted to shrink the money supply again.

Also producing that much extra cash every year would produce a high rate of inflation. This would have very weird effects and would probably be highly unpleasant for everyone.
Sure, but if it was Steam and Stripe that caused the insane fees wouldn't the growth have been more organic?

I look at that graph and see ridiculous spikes in transactions followed by months of very few. I have a hard time believe Steam and Stripe's transactions would follow that sort of pattern.

I've had Ketamine infusions for treatment resistant depression, and it did nothing for me. After failing a large range of antidepressants, my doctor prescribed buprenorphine (usually used for getting off of opiates). The buprenorphine has helped far more than any of the other medications I've been on, but now I have problems with nausea.
I should be able to copy and paste a server configuration and create an identical copy of my server. Right now, the only solutions I see are generating images (too big and cumbersome) or writing scripts (too complex).

I would like to be able to type in a single command and replicate all the packages, services and configuration present in a particular server to a new target system.
How does it not scale? How does it not make sense? It sounds like maybe you work in a company where everyone is not responsible for customer service/support (which would be very unfortunate) or you're misunderstanding what customer service/support actually is (which I hope is the case).

Your backend developers shouldn't be answering phone calls from customers. That's the job of the helpdesk. But if the helpdesk doesn't know how to fix a problem, they should forward the call or the ticket to the developer. If something is messed up in the database, the helpdesk should have the ability to put the customer on hold, call the developer, and have them make the required change. If the documentation doesn't match reality, the helpdesk should have the power to get the developers to update the documentation. The helpdesk should be analyzing tickets and sending reports to development teams with the mindset that it is the responsibility and the expectation of the development team to make sure these calls stop happening, or that the helpdesk is empowered to resolve them without escalating a ticket.

That is a culture where customer support is everyone's job. If the development team is under no obligation to respond to ticket escalations, that is a toxic support environment. If development is under no obligation to reduce the helpdesk's call volume, that is a toxic support environment. If there is no helpdesk to call, or the helpdesk you've called has no direct line of communication with all of the supporting teams across the entire company no matter their role or function, that is a toxic support environment.
There are far better cryptocurrencies to do this than BTC. Today, an actual venezuelan, part of the team working on a cryptocurrency called Nano, twitted that he paid for his meal with it.

This would have never been possible with BTC, why? Mainly because the meal's cost was .5 NANO, which currently amounts to ~5 USD, that would have been the cost of the transaction fee alone for BTC, or even more. Nano is feeless and has transactions taking 10 seconds on average to complete.

Nano is a cryptocurrency that is already making an impact in Venezuela specifically, check it out. Bitcoin days are numbered.

Agreed. While the quote has a certain elegance to it, and certainly some truth, I suspect many people who have statues were on committees of some sort.

For all their flaws committees are a primary way in which people pool their collective experience and effort which is ultimately how anything significant is built.

I have an older APU1C4 with two WLAN cards (WLE200NX) and it's hosting two physical APs and a few virtual ones (diff BSSID/subnet one running at 2.4 ghz other at 5). I just run vanilla Debian on it... The SD card has finally become corrupted over the years, however. When I reboot it, all my changes that were supposedly flushed to disk are lost. Thankfully I only reboot it occasionally when there are critical kernel updates. I just rsync over the filesystem in memory to facilitate restoring the previous configurations.

Anyway, I run various services on it, aside from hostapd... It acts as my firewall, gateway, access point, and runs some other services like nginx to proxy some services from my LAN across subnets (like plex, etc) and motiond as a security camera monitor. I've used it as an SSH style VPN at times, in a pinch. When our WAN goes down I can simply plug my phone in to the APU via USB and tweak some iptables rules to use the LTE connection from the phone over USB network interface.

I also have a newer APU2C4, along w/ an AC WLAN card and an msata drive... have had it for years just sitting there, grr. I really only got the newer one since it has AES-NI support on the processor and I can do much heavier VPN traffic, but the SD card issues have become annoying, so I think this post has encouraged me to finally set it up this weekend... Thanks :P

Anyway, I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on any of the pcengines stuff... Go for it!

Just make sure the WLAN cards you use are well supported via hostapd. :)
To each their own I guess. There's numerous reasons I'd feel safer with my savings in Bitcoin.

> In general, focusing on transit at the expense of drivers is simply the smart thing to do

Plus, as Seattle continues to expand, it's only going to become more expensive and difficult (zoning, nimby etc) to build rail mass transit. Now is the time to do it and do it aggressively. You put it into place now because you won't be able to later.

The Future of Food
Even if self-driving cars were perfect and every manufacturer came out with one tomorrow, it would still be 20 or 30 years before the existing cars on the road were all replaced. To say nothing of the decades of R&D that will be required starting now in order to get us to that point.

I think it's naive to suggest this as an alternative when we could have working mass transit systems using proven equipment within a decade. Why would we wait for what might come when we could have something better today?
The former is a (small) generalization of the latter, tacking on a tag to forcibly ensure the sets are disjoint. It's not worth thinking of them as different.

In any case, Flow doesn't require that the sides of the | are different.

Ha like that time when I was a young clerk, a couple approached me recounting their earlier near-miss with a skunk.

You are correct, but that doesn't invalidate anything I said. If someone is a great CEO for you, and they tell you they will retire to a less stressful job unless you pay them $10m it is worth it, even though you know next year (and $10m richer) they will retire. Their success over that one year should more than make up the money you spend.

Of course this assumes that one more year of development is required for the next CEO to be ready. Great CEOs try to have a replacement (or several) in training at all times.

Note that I'm assuming a great CEO - most are not great.

If you asked me why I didn't like, say, the movie "Dunkirk", and then I told you why I didn't like it, it would be really odd to reply that it's not my business.

Go is like the Six Million Dollar Man language, compared to C. It's everything C can do, but much better.

Both C and Go are very, very simple languages; there aren't many keywords, and it's pretty easy to grok both at a functional level. It takes, of course, a bit to reach the second-level understanding you need to make full use of either language, but it's easy to hit the ground running in both.

We sometimes get stuck on one language being better than others because it has X feature or Y concept, and I've seen some people essentially root for one language over another. But at the end of the day, languages are tools to get your work done, and on balance the work is going to be hard whichever route you go. Use the one that suits the talents you have available and that broadly complements the needs that you have.

Ouch. You’re probably right about the hobbyist mindset. If I were responsible for a large enterprise I’m sure I’d be more circumspect about the stewardship I’d have over the company, employees, and customers. I hope that wouldn’t mean I’d decide it was fair and reasonable, just that I’d be more constrained on a practical level.

But I’m not, so...

Regardless, I have no interest in consulting to help companies solve an invented problem based on a bad law. I make plenty of money without making the world a worse place.
We used to, the company is no longer active. It was really neat data. It was open source code, but it's now a few years out of date, and would maybe be a good idea to rewrite, modernize and bring a big barometer network back online.

On the individual scale, the sensor data was noisy, but in a dense environment with lots of sensors, the noise is identifiable and filterable to get solid pressure trends (actual pressure values is considerably harder).

EMEs – the most controversial HTML5 extension
I thought "Pandora's Star" did a poor job of exploring the effects on society. For a culture that is 350 or so years in the future, it felt remarkably like the 20th century, and in some cases 20th century suburbia.

Part of the reason is that several of the main characters are from the 20th century. I rolled my eyes when one of the characters, when starting up a plane, said something like "atomic batteries to power; turbines to speed. ... I've been waiting a long time to say that."
A facet of their character, expressed in a specific environment, is still a part of their character. Your behavior, wherever you are, is who you are.
Article: "public central economic planning is bad. turns out free markets have (privatized) central planning too. this is also bad."

Edit: fine, alright. He's questioning the fact so many other countries with strict gun controls have fewer homicide rates. No shit they do.

Acknowledging the correlation between gun control and lower homicide rates, this "scientist" then says to himself "maybe we can have less gun control, which will cause us to exhibit lower homicide rates".

And then he edits it with "But I know that thought doesn't really make sense".

Fucking social media, I swear. I want to quit it like I want to quit nicotine and alcohol.
