I just don't understand the generality of the assertion. Law-abiding folks are suddenly going to become violent because the government changed one law? I can certainly believe that some segment of the population might revolt, but broad-scale revolt seems rather unlikely. Most of us are well-fed and entertained enough that the loss of firearms would be an irritant, not an issue worth risking life and limb over. Something like prohibition seems far more likely. Some folks would retain whatever weapons were deemed illegal, while the vast majority of folks would hand-over the bulk of their weapons and possibly retain whatever they thought they could conceal.
Huh? In what way is it biased?
I'm sure that if China wants talent to come, then they should be happy about this free publicity.

That reminds me of the Wartburg [1]. Our neighbor had one where I grew up, and us kids used to call it the "Atom bomb" due to the mushroom cloud of blue smoke it generated when it started up or pulled in.

Ledger technology has had a masdive impact on society, it's also very old.

But I think you are asking about blockchain technology, which is a different thing.

> What if they somehow pegged a token to their metrics, allowing them to remove a layer of abstraction and unlock value based on something closer to what really matters: the utility it provides people.

What makes you think any particular metric of theirs is a better measure of utility than stock price? If you've got a clearly-correct way to measure and aggregate utility, that's a bigger revolution than blockchain technology.
React Native: Why and How to Build Your Native Code in Go
Somebody read my code once and commented on my improper use of 'mod' or something like that. It then turned into a long discussion on how they might be incorrect, and so on and so forth on Reddit, back and forth on Lisp.

I love Lisp. It's a great language with great programmers.

Between those, the Trabants and the Serenas a morning in the former Eastblock would always look like fog. Heavy, worn out diesel engines of trucks and buses didn't help either.

The situation is now much better than when I lived there but even so Poland still has a huge smog problem.
For those arguing about the role of determinism (or lack of it) in evolution, I just finished and highly recommend the new book Improbable Destinies by Jonathan Losos. It covers both sides of the debate (sort of set up as "Stephen Jay Gould" vs "Simon Conway Morris") and gets you up to speed on all the latest fascinating stuff revealed by genome sequencing. There's a lot more to the topic than you might expect if you haven't been following the last few years.
> I will be diligent and take pride in my work.

YMMV, but this doesn't sound good to me. Outside the US especially, pride is not necessarily seen as a good thing. I work hard and and try to produce the best work I can, and to be pleased with it afterwards. All the same I'd hate to be accused of pride.

(I recognise that there's more than one interpretation of the word, and that e.g. Wikipedia [0] distinguishes between good and bad pride. I mean here that having done good work, owning nice things, or living in a nice place doesn't make me a better person than anyone else. I think self-worth is better found in other things, but reasonable people will certainly differ.)

I don't know about AMD, but NVIDIA GPUs also have internal protection. Tesla and Quadro GPUs have had internal error detection on registers and cache since Fermi at least.

But this is totally irrelevant anyway, the comparison we started with is to an analog alternative. Anything analog will have strictly worse noise and error problems. In neural networks, errors are probably not even a problem for analog implementation, so they definitely aren't a problem for GPU implementations.
I take it you don't have a powerful one that drains 150W.
I can trivially hear the fans (GPU or CPU) if someone site attempts to over-utilize the available hardware resources.
What's your experience with people actually enjoying it or at least not hating it and finding such people? I have done cold calling myself but found it very exhausting to the point that I just couldn't do it anymore.
If you run a red light and kill someone, it's pretty clear who is responsible though. If a driverless car runs a red light because of a hardware defect, who is? No one? Or do you think there will be a committee trying to establish what exactly went wrong and where? With planes, when autopilot does something stupid, Boeing/Airbus will ground all planes of the same type until they can figure out what the issue is. I can't imagine we will ever hold cars to the same standard as we hold airplanes, that's just impossible.
OK but more people are killed by cars on the sidewalk than are killed by bicycles total.

Evidence: http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/article196605814.ht...
Western-European capital city here. I can indeed absolutely get-by without a car, as I have for literally all my life.

There are certainly instances where a car is necessary, or sufficiently convenient. For example, I rent a truck when I move homes or get new furniture, and I get a taxi after surgery or a night out, and rent a car when doing something time/convenience-sensitive like hopping between locations on elaborate wedding days that involve a ceremony, food, drinks and after-party all around the city. But all in all, about 5% of my trips need to happen by personal vehicle, at most. Everything else is can be done via public transport or bicycles.

Nowadays we have ride-sharing and electric 'public transportation' mini-cars available that you can rent for 15 minutes or a few days. The costs are about twice that of a normal car, but as I only use it in 5% of my trips my total expenses are barely affected, while giving me the convenience of a car when necessary.

There's no real reason to keep a personal car myself. Actually I've never owned one, but it's become easier and more convenient over time. Borrowing a car from a friend or traveling far to a car rental, or expenses of renting aren't problems anymore.

Having kids or working very far from home changes the incentives quite a bit. But I think there's a lot of value in optimising for distance. As a species we spend way too much time on mundane travel, even to the point of inefficiency. I've seen people chase a job that pays $300 more for $250 in self-paid traveling costs per month. These are people who will pay $10 for delivery of groceries instead of spending 30 minutes to go to the store, but are willing to travel 20 hours more each month for a $50 net benefit.

My point was that in many European countries, Poland among them, the vehicle is insured no matter who drives it.

My post is now edited to be clearer.
Western Europe sans Switzerland doesn’t pay very high, so ya. You’ll see more Europeans working tech in china than Americans. Likewise, Japan, Taiwan, and Korea also generally don’t pay programmers as much as China does, so you’ll see foreigners from those countries working in China (and the fact that they are next door).

"The extraterritorial nature of these two frameworks..."

I've noticed that this is something the EU has tried to do lately, to just sort of push their regulations on the rest of the world. I don't see what sort of authority they'd have to impose this on citizens of other countries.

I wonder if Europe pushes the issue, if this will be treated like libel tourism, where US citizens and companies without a Eurpoean nexus will be explicitly protected from judgements against them.
It's frequently used to mean “Full Time Employee” (distinct from both a part timer and a contractor), probably originally by people who have overheard the HR speak and misunderstood what it is referring to, but the use seems to be established on its own at this point.
I also recommend the new book Improbable Destinies by Jonathan Losos, which has a big discussion on convergent evolution and the role of "replaying the tape" - it refers back a lot to Gould's book "Wonderful Life" and what new genome sequencing is revealing and how it relates to what he got right and/or got wrong and/or how he was misunderstood.
Hong Kong doesn’t pay programmers as well as Shenzhen outside of a few banking related jobs. Not a good comparison. HK is more of a business/banking center, so programmers don’t have as much status as they do across the border in Shenzhen.
The difference is that US lures people to move and eventually become citizens. China want's people to work there, transfer the technology and go away.

It's basically impossible to naturalize as Chinese citizen even if you marry a local and live there for decades. Japanese are strict in immigration but they take ten times more immigrants than China. Only about 1000 people get Chinese passport per year.

I've been idly wondering if it would be so bad if advertising on the web simply wasn't profitable. Losing search engines seems like the biggest loss to me, and admittedly it's a doozy. But otherwise, it's not immediately obvious to me that the web is better for all the ad-funded content on it in the first place.
To add to your grain of salt, I've had quite a number of quotes (I'm a consultant) in the last 3 months that have gone nowhere. These are for firms that I've worked with for years that are all of a sudden very tightfisted about projects that they would have shoveled money at before.

I'm not sure I understand that, why go through the trouble of setting up random domains to bypass filters if you then load https://coinhive.com/lib/coinhive.min.js directly? Any filter will probably already block that URL if no other.

Now if they started serving the JS from random domains and URLs that would mean trouble because you couldn't just use the URL-based filter approach most adblockers use. I'm surprised this doesn't appear to be more common. If it gains steam we might have to use a whitelist approach for trusted 3rd party javascript sources. Not necessarily a bad thing IMO, although that might stifle innovation a bit on the web.

A couple of relatively recent studies done in Australia came up with the result that driver error was the cause of collisions with pedestrians/bikes around 80% of the time.
Converting on-street parking can help to increase capacity but I don't think you can convert a lot of parking lots into roads. And where real estate prices are high, they're often underground anyway. Making more efficient use of the roadway is great but they'll probably not more than double efficiency (as long as not all cars are self driving and the road is also used by pedestrians), so doubling the number of trips will still increase congestion.
I don't know how common it is, but professional liability insurance for engineers definitely exists. I expect that it's more common for consultants and others operating their own businesses than it is for employees of large companies. But there are certainly areas like construction where someone with a professional engineer license has to sign off on drawings where it may be more of a thing.
Surprisingly, when it comes to stamina and general energy, I couldn't tell the difference.

I don't practice any sport consistently, from time to time I'll join someone for a long jog or go hiking or whatever, but only a few times a year. I tend to walk a lot though, as I don't drive.

Maybe there were changes but the lack of being regular and measuring my performance prevented me from noticing them.

The big difference was more about the upper respiratory system, with huge improvements in terms of taste, snoring, and the throat. I wasn't coughing much when I smoked, but I had a significant amount of mucus, especially in the morning, and had to clear my throat often. I'm also less prone to headaches if I drink a bit less fluids than I should, I feel dry but without the pain.
This lawsuit was between cities trying to ban diesel cars and their respective states. The two states are openly supportive of their local car industry, while the cities were motivated to improve local air quality by looming EU fines. The court, being the highest administrative court in the country, is also unlikely to be in the car industry's pocket: any backroom communication with industry lobbyists would be a major scandal. To draw an analogy to the US Supreme Court: judges may bring all sorts of personal biases to the bench. But they are unlikely to risk the social prestige of their role for whatever bribe is on offer. After all, they could have chosen much more lucrative careers in the private sector long ago if money was their motivation.

As a factual matter, i. e. "unexpected consequences", your idea might become true. But it's a risky strategy to hope that premature obsolescence of your product will result in consumers coming back for more. With the VW diesel scandal in the background, it's also possible that the industry will end up having to shoulder a major part of the monetary burdens. It's much more likely that the loss to their brands, and the very public failure of their diesel strategy, will far outweigh any gains from some turnover in cars.

Some diesel cars may also be retrofitted with cleaner technology, and others can probably be sold abroad, making the losses not quite as large as one might expect.

Haha I've done it, the Dutch are a bit crazy but yeah... we transport furniture on what essentially is a (frontloaded) trailer-bike.

That having been said, I think it's a silly solution to expect bicycles to take over logistics. I think we can all agree however that if the only vehicles on the roads were for logistics and public benefit (e.g. ambulance) that'd be a massive improvement already.
> Latency won't be a killer, especially if a quick intervention is required

Probably not controlling them but observing vehicles and steering in case they stop working. E.g. if a car stops on a busy motorway because of a software fault, a remote controller could drive it to the shoulder or next exit to avoid congestion.
> What’s the solution for those of us (probably everyone here) that spend 8+ hours a day on the computer then, if not a standup desk?

Why preclude a stand up desk?

I have at least five different positions I use at my office that I switch between periodically:

1) Stand up desk, up

2) Stand up desk, down, seated (office chair)

3) Stand up desk, down, seated (balance ball)

4) Meeting room, laptop on table

5) Random chair around the office, laptop in lap

I also try to stay hydrated and intentionally use the restroom furthest from my office to just get a few steps in throughout the day, which helps more than you might think.

The stand up desk makes a massive difference. I can't handle working from home now.

Newk's Eatery selects Graphus for email-based protection
Typically these bans are limited to the inner city or the historic center, there is - outside of some small towns in Switzerland - no major European city that I am aware of that has banned vehicles outright.

The towns that have banned vehicles completely that I am aware of are all small and have simply set up a major parking lot right next to the access road into town. For the ones that I am aware of this was a practical thing to do because the streets in winter were already more or less useless due to the snow and the inclined roads so it was a relatively minor step.

A nice example of such a town:

This makes CF seem fine for your different variants of popcorn.gif, your (subresource integrity checked) Javascript implementation of the VIC-20 computer, or a public blog post, and NOT so great for patient access to histology results, private web forums, banking, and many other things on the Web.

The use of short lived auto generated domain names is the kind of patterns that triggers maleware warning at domain registrars and I know IIS (registry for .se) have people being paid to actually monitor such type of domain abuse. The domain industry see it as abuse and "advanced malware technique" would not be out of the question when describing it.

Also, it not just random domain names. It is random registrant data. It is short lived domain names. It is obfuscated NS infrastructure.

The authority they have is that delegated by the sovereign members of the EU, and the fact that the authority of a sovereign power is limited only by its own decisions and it's practical capabilities.

> vehicle maintenance is less costly

Nowadays with turbos, injectors, particle filters (required in Europe from 2007) and other fiddly bits, it's not clear that diesel engines have an advantage.

The particle filters are especially kludgy - most rely on having fuel injected down the exhaust pipe to burn the trapped cinders and regenerate the filter. If you don't run the engine long enough at 2000 rpm or so (to get the right temperature), you may clog the filter and need an expensive replacement.

(Worse yet, some designs just use the engine fuel injectors at the "wrong time" to get the piston to expel fuel down the exhaust pipe. This can contaminate the engine oil with diesel fuel and cost a few thousand in repairs, as a colleague learned the hard way ...)
Sometimes, nobody should be held responsible. It's called an accident.
