Are you implying that gun-owners would suddenly wage war on the nation if they were told to hand over (some portion of) their guns in the next year or face civil penalties? Doesn't it seem far more likely that most law-abiding folks would hand over their weapons to avoid interruption to their lives, possibly retaining one or two illegally?

Most of the people I know would complain and protest any confiscation, but I doubt they would shoot a law officer to protect that privilege. They would simply lose too much in return for that exchange.
This is just exactly the kind of attitude that keeps people like myself on the other side. The issue Tiel is obviously talking about is within the context of silicon valley and the online platforms they control.

It's irrelevant that repubs are gerrymandering, that trump talking about suing the media as a private citizen or that you believe that gamergate was a harassment campaign.

Yet you lay them out as if it's some solid evidence to imply right wing views are being discounted justly. That the current situation is just a case of bad opinions being beaten up on fairly.
That does happen in some cities - also to provide an alternative to exorbitant inner city parking costs - but it will add a lot of overhead to your trip, so for a daily commute it becomes unfeasible unless you're okay with adding 30-60 minutes to it. Every day.

> Traditional programming languages and imperative thinking don't lend themselves to writing state machines,

pretty sure most C introduction books cover various implementations of state machines. In "traditional" desktop WIMP GUI software it's a fairly common paradgim ; a bunch of frameworks such as StateCharts with SCXML even allow you to design the state machine graphically and have it compiled to C++ or Java code.
One thing I've quickly realized from driving an electric car: gas (petrol) cars smell really, really bad. We're just so used to it we don't notice.
For what it's worth, I'm trying to find a place that is free of cars because, well, they ruin life if you enjoy walking and cycling.

So far, places that come to mind are central Ghent and Rothenburg ob der Tauber (sadly the latter allows cars but they're still very few in number). If I were there I would expect to work remote, or start my own gig. I'd shop locally.

There are very few places in the world where you can live near other people and escape automobiles, and I suspect there are at least a few other people like myself.

>You may think it’s unnecessary to use a blanket at 10 p.m., when it’s still hot, but by 4 a.m., when it’s colder and you’re unable to shiver? You might need it.

We have a common saying for this in Turkish. When somebody feels hot and insists on sleeping without something covering them, we say something like "it snows on a sleeper at night, you better take this on you" and hand them a minimal sheet to sleep under.
I learned yesterday that Ken Thompson used to host readings of Unix source code at Berkeley where they would go through the code line-by-line (https://www.salon.com/2000/05/16/chapter_2_part_one/):
>And from the very beginning, Unix benefited from a communal vibe that spread directly from its creators, Ritchie and Thompson.
>
> Fabry recalls grasping the hidden wonders of Unix one week in 1975 when Thompson conducted a "reading" of Unix over several successive nights.
>
>"The first meeting of the West Coast Unix User's Group had about 12 or 15 people," recalls Fabry, a mild man, now 60 years old, who clearly delights in his 25-year-old memories. "We all sat around in Cory Hall and Ken Thompson read code with us. We went through the kernel* line by line in a series of evening meetings; he just explained what everything did ... It was wonderful."
In addition to the other fine points: A fundamental job of a life form is to pump entropy out faster than the environment can pump it in. This tends to eliminate any hot environments, such as stars, the insides of active planets, and one of my personal favorite science fiction life forms, neutron stars and other such exotica.

A life form must also be able to develop to some reasonable level of complexity in some reasonable period of time in order to be alive. This tends to eliminate old stand-by favorites such as nebula, very cold planets like Pluto, and the interstellar medium. It doesn't matter if they got a 12 billion year head start on us if they "live" a billion times slower than we do. (And if you start doing the math on how cold things are and how often particles interact in even a nebula, let alone an interstellar medium, it doesn't take long to see that a billion times slower is actually me being quite generous.) It is likely that at the time scales an interstellar life form would live at, the interstellar medium is too frequently disrupted by novae and such for anything to live in it.

So you pretty much end up limited down to roughly the temperature range we're familiar with pretty quickly just based on thermodynamic considerations. Given that you also have to add in the fact that chemistry must be able to support the life form, you end up with the result that life really isn't going to be that hard to identify, even if it's based on ammonia or something. It'll still be pretty obvious that something life-based is taking place.

One of the other things about this conversation is I think "a bit too much science fiction" can lead people to think that Earth life is somehow pedestrian or something, but in reality, Earth life is incredibly diverse and has covered almost every imaginable niche on this rather diverse little planet, and that makes the odds of meeting something that has literally no Earth analog pretty long. We could meet a planet of ammonia-based silicon life forms and it could very well be the case that we'd still recognize every player in the ecosystem just fine on sight, because we've got a lot of terrestrial data points as to what might constitute a viable life form. "Life forms that could exist in this universe that looks nothing like Earth life" may very well be a nearly empty set. (Or at least life that could naturally evolve. One could hypothesize a machine civilization in a lot of places, but it's hard to see how such a thing could evolve directly and biologically.)

Random does not mean a uniform distribution. Toss 2 six sided dice and 2's and 12's are uncommon. But it's still a random process.

Reading code is difficult and time-consuming. To really understand a function you need to try it with different inputs, either with interactive testing or in a debugger; AND you need to know what the functions it calls does.

The second part, knowing what the code the function is calling does, is nearly impossible when they are other functions in the program itself.

Just putting this on a vps or cheap dedicated server with 16gb ram would've led to sub-ms response times at much lower costs (if you don't get Azure and Cloudflare for free like him). At those response speeds, scalability is also not really an issue if you cache aggressively at the edge.

Argos is then nice to have but not really necessary. If the server responds back <1ms, those 30% saved RTT are probably not detectable for the user.

“Natural rights” don’t come naturally. Something is a “natural right” not because laws of physics dictate they are inviolable but because they are essential to humanity and peaceful existence, and every human is born into them.

The “natural rights” to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, assembly, association, religion, arms, etc. are the closest we’ve come as a race to “absolute moral truth”.

I'm extrapolating a bit from the article, but it sounds like he was walking past the frat house on the street when Gutzeit left the house approached him on the street and attacked him.

If you are minding your own business walking down the street and someone approaches you to physically attack you, especially with 10-20 fraternity brother behind them ready to jump in, it doesn't seem unreasonable to me to use a knife in self defense. That is a life threatening situation, or at least a risk of grievous bodily harm situation.

The fact that he wasn't indicted makes it hard for me to believe the situation occurred otherwise. It seems to me like the Ny Mag article may have significantly misrepresented the event.

As a counter-argument: databases do ~interesting~ things with your queries and the layout of your data anyway. SQL is meant to be declarative - it's not meant to define exactly how an operation is done, only that it's done in a method that results in something that logically looks like what you've declared it to look like. So as long as the row is ordered correctly when you do a `SELECT *`, it'd be perfectly reasonable in my opinion to store it physically in any order the database engine prefers.

> Random does not mean a uniform distribution. Toss 2 six sided dice and 2's and 12's are uncommon. But it's still a random process.

True, but dice don't adjust their own shape so that they're more likely to stop at certain values.

> Also, saying you often get some set of mutations may be likely if subsets of those mutations provide advantages or there is some process that makes those mutations more likely.

Yeah, but doesn't take away from the fact that evolution is canalised into certain options (most of the time) by its own evolutionary history.

I'll take either bet. €1000 says the German economy will not crash in the next 5 years due to the mass replacement of people by AI. Another €1000 says that the transition to electric vehicles will not crash the German vehicle industry. (I've changed your wording from cars to vehicles because I do not see the point of the needless restriction.) Let's say as well if the same person wins both bets they get a bonus €1000.

"Why not alternatives to organic life?"

Underestimates the fact that, as near as we can tell, building life from organic molecules is easier (and substantially so).

Given that life seems to be a relatively rare event sequence, and that organic life is the easiest form we've been able to figure out from chemistry (ne physics)... betting on another kind is a long shot.

Granted, maybe we've missed something obvious. Maybe our understanding is critically flawed. But from everything we know right now, one can't just handwave and say "Well, many kinds of life are possible."

I second Duluth trousers. I had difficulty finding pants that fit since I'm a little shorter but have bigger legs. Getting pants with larger legs means a larger waist and a belt only helps cinch that up so much. Gusseted crotch trousers fixed all that. I've worn both the ballroom jeans and their khaki pants and they're both worth it.

A bonus is, if you're into martial arts, being able to kick above the waist or 'roll' (Judo/BJJ), you can still do so in those pants.

This seems relevant if you sell crypto on Coinbase/GDAX. Selling (even if you buy some other crypto right away/trade) is the taxable event and it's just normal to pay taxes on that in the USA. Aren't financial institutions required anyway to send that info (especially above 10K) to the IRS? What makes this special? Or is there something else I'm missing? What if someone parks cash in USD at Coinbase. Does Coinbase pay you interest? If so, again taxable and coinbase should send a 1099. Would all seem pretty straight forward...
Diesel isn't that cost efficient actually, even if you drive a lot. Diesel are more expensive to maintain due to regulations, plus diesel cars tend to be more expensive their petrol counterparts. Moreover, there is depreciation, which tend to be worse for diesel cars, because they are valued less on the second hand market (fairly or unfairly).

On average, you should expect to drive at least 150.000+ km before you've broken even on a diesel car with its petrol counterpart.

People only look at fuel consumption and fuel prices, but maintenance and depreciation are actually one's biggest loss on a car purchase. And in general petrol comes out on top.
