“Simply put, unleaded fuel burns less smoothly than leaded and the toluene and benzene, which is added to the fuel to act as a lead substitute, burns to form what are called peroxides. Unfortunately peroxides are inherently unstable and explode, forming shock waves that cause detonation. This explains why engines designed to run on unleaded from the outset feature sophisticated knock sensors, which retard the ignition setting at the onset of harmful detonation.”

They are definitely outliers.

There have been tests done which show an inverse correlation between the cost of a person's car and how likely they are to stop for pedestrians waiting at marked crossings. Just as an informal example.

It is also extremely telling that the people who litter the most are young and rich.

Rich people overwhelmingly care a lot less about people they consider to be beneath them.

> You don't just roll into a country, make billions of dollars, and expect to pay no tax in perpetuity.

The reason this policy is being pushed, is because some nations have benefitted a lot from US tech companies, eg Ireland, while others eg France and Germany, are jealous that they're not getting their spoils (while simultaneously seeing no large domestic tech company creation). France and Germany have vast influence over the EU, they regard it as their little fiefdom of power. To watch Ireland become richer and richer and richer by the year, as their GDP per capita just keeps soaring ever higher, drives those sleepy giants crazy.

GDP per capita

Ireland: $68,000

Germany: $44,000

France: $39,000

It's pretty obvious what's going on.

Ireland's economy has tripled in size in 17 years.

France's economy hasn't net expanded since 2006.

Germany's economy hasn't net expanded since 2007.

I seriously doubt France and Germany - both high corporate income tax nations - want to see a bunch of Irelands further sprout up in the EU, pulling even more economic benefit away from the power duo in the EU.

I lived in China for more than 8 years. I found laowai amusing when I was in the transient long term vacation mindset when I first arrived. But after being there long enough to become fluent, marry a local, and deal with difficult situations unique to foreigners, I did find a bit of offense in the term. Not strong enough to say anything. But the subtext I heard in the term from some people was to intentionally keep this uncultured foreigner at arms length, and make sure he knows he will never fully integrate.

The word is a pun, and also means "always outside". This secondary meaning is not lost on Chinese people.
From the linked article, it's nice to see they moderated to a "fuel formulation change + limited engine modifications" approach.

It seems unwise, chemically speaking, to expect we'll be able to find a drop in replacement that's less toxic (vs creating something that we find out is toxic in another 50 years).
I am not a doctor, but it’s something to do with Spirulina binding with the metals.

Or it could be that I’ve mistaken Spirulina for Chlorella.

Because they bind with metals it’s important to get them from clean sources as I mentioned.
Patents exist outside GMOs. Honey crisp Apple's we're under patent for example.

The patent claim against GMO is a canard.
Having lived in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan I take a pragmatic view to whether I should be offended by peoples use of the term foreigner.

The Cantonese "gweilo" (lit. "monster/ghost person") and Taiwanese "adoga" (lit. "big nose") are more clearly offensive in literal meaning.

Both are extremely casual, and in most cases no ill will is intended.

But for each I've encountered situations where it wasn't so pleasant.

Notably once in a remote guangdong town, some people stopped on a motorbike, pointed at me and said "Gweilo" before riding off laughing.

Equally at a good friends wedding, his mum kept referring to me as "adoga" in the 3rd person.

"Adoga comes from England" rather than using my name, which she'd known for the past 3 or so years.

In China, I can't think of a specific situation where I was offended by the use of "laowai".
I agree with your theory that the agent-approach is flawed. I know Kotlin and I love the classic SimCity games so I'm gonna try and give the codebase a poke later.

Sometimes it is possible to get these questions to fit so format by framing them as "how do I debug this" instead of "how do I solve this". But yeah, it is kind of awkward and doesn't always work out...
I worked with a USN heli pilot & commander. They had to go repeated tests where they were strapped into a helicopter body, blindfolded, and then it was dropped and inverted into a pool. They had safety divers immediately in the water, but to pass, they needed to get unstrapped, find their way out of the vehicle, and to the surface.

From amateur auto racing, I also know that harness and latch design is critical to being able to escape in an emergency. Again, we practice getting out of the vehicle quickly.

A video is just not even close to what would actually help the passengers. Note that the pilot escaped ok, but no passengers did. Might as well just take their money and say "good luck".
I don’t know man. It was just something I knew from some time ago and there’s no end of google results that talk about this.

Not really sure what other source you’re looking for. A research paper? Even those can be nonsense.
Since many engineers aren’t licensed will they also have to stop referring to themselves as engineers?

> Rust has similar issues

I really do try my hardest to keep old questions and answers relevant. Stack Overflow allows editing Q&A for a reason, and any time I stumble on an older post, I at least think about updating it.

One thing that I've occasionally found frustrating is that someone sees a question was asked 2 years ago and thus assumes that it must be invalid / out-of-date. They simply don't look at the edit dates.

Remember that Rust has a pretty strong backwards compatibility guarantee. Any answer using only the standard library in the last 3 years should still be valid (crates are a different concern). If you find a question you think has become stale, add a bounty to it to raise attention — that's the SO recommended path of action.

We also have a Rust chatroom on SO where a bunch of regulars hang out and people are welcome to pop in and ask if a Q&A is still valid.

There's a lot of debate about what kind of activity software development is. The camp that doesn't see it as engineering argues that programming is a craft, or that code is "grown".

I think one of the key differentiators for engineering is that something engineered should work by design after it has been built (not including regular maintenance of a machine). A defect requires a special process to repair all built instances.

In software development, defects are a regular occurrence requiring continuing changes, and requirements change as well. Of course, that's very different from a bridge or a combustion engine for example.

Automated testing can help push software development _toward_ an engineering mindset.

BTW - you're right that most software devs don't need licensing or formal education, but it comes off as pejorative. While those could help set standards, some of the most talented people I've worked with have neither (and some of my class mates in college don't affirm a benefit for formal training).
That's not silly. There correct response is "well, what's your budget?" The reply may be a number that's an order of magnitude too small, but then you have a negotiating point to work with, or at least an understandable (and not condescending) answer.
It's happened multiple times. Companies attempting to reshore manufacturing have run into major problems with skilled labor and with modernizing lines and processes.
TLDR: 400,000 annual US deaths are attributed to lead poisoning, 10x increases over previous estimates. The difference is due to previous studies excluding low doses of lead, assuming they have no effect. The news here is that any rise of lead is dangerous.

The study is observational and looking for correlation, involves 12k people, and controls for all usual factors including wealth.

It seems legit to me, given that controls are in place and the mechanism has been well established earlier.
Donald Knuth: Do what you really think is important
There are plenty of creative people in china that retain their creativity inspite of the rigid Chinese educational system. Yes, some kids will get beat down into obedience, but China has a lot of people, so some won’t.

The bigger problem is just talent based: china isn’t taking much advantage of non chinese talent, while America is. The American talent pool for top tier talent is simply much larger than china’s despite having a much smaller population.
It would be ironic if the fourth AI winter came about because China over invested in AI. China's real estate boom has already hit peak Japan.

Do you have an article you would recommend on the route planning optimizations? That sounds interesting.
I have yet to talk to someone that can explain to me why a VAT wouldn't be better. We already know how VATs work, they're already fair, they already handle low-margin companies very well. Why bother with a revenue tax? It heavily stilts the game in favour of bigger players because it encourages vertical integration.

I agree that our largest tech companies are already too powerful and need to have a higher tax burden to compensate for the warping effect they have on the world, but that's more easily done via international tax harmonization / internationally agreed upon minimums to effective corporate income / wealth tax rates. A straight up revenue tax is bananas.
Did you not read the article? Millions of users took a personality test that had nothing to do with politics, and that data was sold to the Trump campaign for targeting.

When did Obama’s campaign ever do that?
That's, uhh, very much not the case for photography.
Right, but that article goes on to talk about various non-lead substitutes you should add... I know why unleaded vs leaded, but there are substitutes for lead that are designed for use in classic cars but don't actually contain lead, that's what I was asking the difference of.

Basically, why use actual lead in gas when lead substitute exists and is recommended for classic cars as an additive to unleaded fuel?
I can understand that, and certainly the web platform is much nicer than it used to be – especially when building for a constrained, known environment like Electron.

Don't discount the native platforms though, which are still very powerful. Constraint-based layout can be frustrating at first, but I've found it's not noticeably more awkward than CSS after a little experience.

Similarly, it's no worse figuring out how to build a native Windows GUI than it is figuring out what CSS or JS framework to use. Just a bit of research :)
That's OK, the people who know that there is a general conspiracy of corruption and that there are definitely conspiracies within the political and military power structure have been quite fed up with the likes of you for a long, long time now.

Just this weekend I was reading and watching about Norman Finkelstein, the son of a Holocaust survivor and author of The Holocaust Industry. He's been kicked out of his job and banned from entering certain illegitimate countries due to his work that simply tells the truth.

People like you, who just don't want to look at what's going on in the world around them or have no interest in standing up to prosecute those who do wrong, are the problem in this world.
I was wondering what this could be good for, but then I noticed that sharing my XMPP account password with some strange website would be a bad idea. Instead giving them session based access to my account could be acceptable.

I am curious what the author is planning to build on top of that.
Looks to me like it fluctuates around a specific level... which is pretty much what I said: periods of inflation and deflation.
I think SO has 2 problems :

1) it want to be a repository of canonical knowledge, a giant FAQ and wiki of everything. The problem is, that it does not fit the way the site actually works: people will write imperfect questions, precisely because they don't know the answer, and ask the opinions of their peers about things. But they are not domain experts writing documentation so they often get down-voted or their questions closed.

2) There is a karma system in which more karma gets you more power. Inevitably such system attracts people in search of fame or power, and this kind of people get off by telling others that they are smarter than them, or that they know this little site rule better and consequently censor their question. As regular users become fed up with the state of things and leave the site, the position of high-karma users become more entrenched. Then, those users obtain total control over the meta board to veto all fix proposals, make up even more draconian rules, and entrench their position even more.

Problem 1) causes inadequate meta rules, and 2) zealous enforcement of these rules. Some combination of 1) and 2) prevent the site owners from changing the rules.

From that article...

>measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, linked, by a sketchy and quickly refuted study, to autism. The supposed connection made a bigger impression than the refutation, and, while I didn’t actually know anyone who failed to get their children immunized for MMR, plenty of parents did refuse the shot;

According to Andrew Wakefield, what he suggested was just that people use single, separate shots instead of the cocktail MMR vaccine. And then people started switching to single shots and sale of MMR dropped, which made the government (or someone forced them as he says) stopping the import of single vaccines and thereby depriving people of that option...According to him, then and only then did the vaccination rates dropped.

I think the speaker's intent and beliefs about the meanings of the words they're using is relevant. Context is everything in language.

I think the issue that sort of overlaps what you are talking about is sometimes when people assert things "aren't offensive", what they really mean is that they think they should be free to use derogatory language without others being upset.

Heavy metals accumulate in organs inside your body. Algae and other plants have a mechanism that prevents oxidative metals from damaging them.

Anyone who complains about stackoverflow should visit their sister site about math:

https://math.stackexchange.com/

Because the difference is night and day. No pedantry (no pedantry on a math site! Impossible!), no assumption that askers are throwing their homework on them. In fact, my experience with mathematicians have had me question whether I choose the right career or if I should have become a mathematician. They all seem damn chill in comparison to most of us developers.

Anyway, the idea behind that site appears to be to help people learn math. Not to build the world's most polished question repository. I very much prefer the former approach.
lol nice however "Du hast Recht" is the proper translation alternative if you want to translate "that's right" -> "So ist es."
This is a valid point and you are right to rise it!

However, we need to add that there are people who both know a word might be offensive and still decide to use it. I believe this is the critical distinction OP was trying to make with his point
I hadn't thought about talent pool and very good point. In my mind even if China did want to take advantage of this they may have issues due to their reputation (I for one would not want to live/work in china due to their blatent disrepect for IP).

Follow up: Do those people then get encouraged to continue to foster their creativity within the system? Does the government, upon seeing that someone "withstood" their education change their approach and allow them to continue to explore?
Sure. That's my joke.

You'd obfuscate the content, but to be practical you'd still have to know what it said.

Apart from the specific Japanese language specifics, I didn't read anything that I wouldn't expect in more than half of the American companies that I encounter outside of SV.

Nope, it's just that many of her pieces carry a tone of numerous implications that those with whom she works (eg coworkers and such), are idiots. She has a condescending tone which I don't care for. That is all.
The typical user using the user agent also wants access to "premium content", and also typically is willing to jump through several hoops to get it. Like paying a lot to cable tv providers, signing up for international VPN, risking downloading viruses, etc. etc.

The danger with DRM in the browser being universally available is that more and more content will get locked behind it(say YouTube), but lets not pretend that content providers have not been willing to forgo some revenue in favor of locking things down. E.g Netflix, HBO etc.
What this post does not talk about is a different customer: the person who is searching for programming advice.

SO is useful, but it is often awful. For instance, most Python examples on SO were written for Python 2, thus you need to add parenthesis if you want to cut and paste them into the Python 3 REPLs.

Many coders will accept the excuse that having to manually insert parenthesis "keeps you own the ball" or "helps you learn", etc. No, it's the kind of machine stupidity that we have to dispense with to achieve artificial intelligence.

Often I get five or six competing answers. Sometimes the best one is at the top. Sometimes the one at the top has a comment that says the author of the post and the original poster both agree it is wrong and that you should ignore it and scroll down to the one below.

Meanwhile, the Q&A format means that I may have to scroll through a large amount of incorrect source code before finally finding the two or three lines I really need.

Those small things add up because I am juggling a number of balls in the air as I work, and I just don't need any cognitive trash.

If you program in Python, Java, Ruby, Rust, Javascript, etc. you may find that your biggest head scratchers have do with integration with and the choice of third-party libraries -- discussion of which is severely curtailed on SO.

I am fascinated with the discussion about "People asking insufficiently detailed questions" because that is one of the great unresolved problems of Hacker News -- "Ask HN:" is choked with many cries for help which can only be replied to with "We need to know more about this to give you a real answer" that frequently don't get answered.

>I still read SO, but as someone who was around before it existed I don't really feel like the quality of answers is any higher than the random forum posts of yore, it's just that they're all under the same URL now, and the same user interface.

Hmm, we really remember things differently. I remember:

- Answers locked behind paywalls (ExpertsExchange)

- Searching pages of forum threads.

- Answers spread across multiple posts

- "Nvm, I solved it" https://xkcd.com/979/

In my experience, finding answers to programming questions is in a much, much better state of affairs now than it was in 2007.
But they're there because you can't. I remember the days of Usenet and the various news groups for help. You help a person with a question and then go on to read something else... and there's a followup question a few minutes later. And another. And another.

The people answering questions have time boxed their involvement. Here's 15 minutes, here's an answer and move on.

I've had discussions on slack that span days. But that's ok... because its people I know and trust to be mindful of my time and theirs. They ask interesting questions that make me think.

To open up the spigot to everyone asking those questions (and while they are the ones I'd be most interested in having a discussion with), would make it impossible for me to ask or find anything in the future.

And as an expert in my domain, I'd be rather annoyed at getting dozens (or I suspect hundreds Jon's case) questions asking my opinion each day. I don't have time for them. I've chosen to spend time to answer this question and have a reasonable work / life / social-site balance.
So that's a "yes" to my question?
