I don't mean to imply anything wrong with the article, but I totally agree that bringing this up is relevant. The potential motivations of who is telling you something is very important. One of the first things I did was google "who owns national geographic". Then I looked through the comments here to see if it'd been mentioned. (I would've made a similar comment, despite the almost inevitable downvoting which I see has so far happened to your comment.)

One might also want to check the linked article and its source, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_Reports (I also don't mean to imply anything about that.)

> The cost of occupying this new ecological niche is that we started working all day, every day.

That's not quite true. Farming is heavy, all day long work during sowing and harvest seasons, but other than these, which take a few weeks out of a year, it's not all that much work really. Keeping animals on the other hand requires some work every day (taking them in and out of the pasture, milking, cleaning sheds etc), but it's not all day long, it's really on the order of 1-2 hours a day.

Keep in mind also that for most of the history, farmers didn't really have all that much land to farm, and each farmer would work on much smaller plot than he and his family was physically able to. The reason for this is really Malthusian. If there's excess food, you have population growth, which makes you hit the carrying capacity only in a handful of generations. Look at American colonies for example. After they were founded, the population grew mostly through natural growth, further immigration being relatively unimportant -- foreign born population rarely exceeded 10%. Yet the population increased 20-fold in only 100 years.

This means that throughout most of the history, the farmer parents only had barely enough land to sustain themselves and 2 children -- only 2 children of each parent reproduced on average, otherwise you'd have population growth, which meant war or famine (or both). The farmer didn't have a lot of farming to do, because he just didn't have enough land to plow and sow.

If you are European, talk to some old people who grew up farming. My mother grew up on a farm in Eastern Europe, and her village only got electricity in early 1980s. When I talk to her, or my grandparents, or their neighbors, and I ask them if the life was poor back then, and what was the thing they needed the most, everyone always says that they had too little land. In America it was of course much different, for obvious reasons.
It's odd to pick a narrow definition of "election fraud" and then assert that an instance of fraud that changed the result of an election doesn't qualify.

The apparent presence of Bernie Sanders in the race definitely induced people to vote in the Democratic primary who otherwise wouldn't have. Otherwise, they could have either voted in a different primary or stayed home and registered their lack of support for the entire process.

The core UI is Qt 5.5.[1] When I started, it was still wxWidgets (shudder). We take a GTK dependency on Linux for some desktop integration in GNOME.

There's a bit of webviews these days, although there are Qt fallbacks or handoffs to actual browsers for everything important, for both compatibility and accessibility. Screen readers and QTWebViews did not play nice together when we implemented it.

From my personal interactions, and with my personal perspective of how Facebook has publicly conducted itself over the years, having worked at Facebook would immediately raise red flags in my mind about the philosophical perspective of the potential employee for having worked 'at will' at the company. Context certainly matters, but it would be become a point of conversation. Not all that different from a health-professional being wary of hiring someone who used to work for a tobacco company.

To me it would indicate the possibility that the person might not want to understand the wider implications of their work, might understand those implications but not care about them so long as they are personally or socially enriched, or might just agree with the duplicitous nature of the company. There are of course circumstances to account for, and everyone's reasons are different - but the above rationalizations would raise red flags for me - especially in my industry where thinking about wider implications of our work is absolutely critical.
The hiring a consultant/lawyer thing has potential to be troublesome for a lot of solo devs. Such services are not cheap and it’s not uncommon for independent devs to be very much cash-strapped.

But at the same time if you relied on exactly one platform to build out your business, you are taking a huge risk. The issue you are facing is the platform version of "What if your key employee gets run over by a bus?". On the other hand, if you wouldn't be thrown out of business by the metaphorical bus running over FB, then you have only made your business stronger, so best to start planning now.
I suspect that it's to avoid conflicts of interest. If Dropbox makes a lot of money from an overvalued IPO, it may look like market manipulation even if it's not.

Users run application instances that sit between their end users (clients) and the database itself. These application instances are what a client’s browser (or mobile app, IoT device, etc) interact with. The application in turn connects to the database.

Many users start simple, and run their application instances in only one region, with the database in that region as well. However, by spreading the database across three regions, the database itself can actually maintain availability (reads and writes continue) even if there is a region-wide outage due to MongoDB’s built in replication and auto-failover.

Developers can run their application instances in multiple regions and serve nearby clients from them, and achieve low-latency in-region reads to MongoDB cluster replicas in those regions. In this model, writes would go to the region with the MongoDB database primary, however, meaning users in some regions would have a cross-region network hop in order to perform writes.

MongoDB does have a concept called geo-zoned sharding, however, which makes it possible to have different write regions for different shards, which makes it possible to have users in different parts of the world actually achieve low latency reads and writes.
We should absolutely be deploying fission on a wide scale, but the issues with waste disposal and radioactive contamination, while vastly overplayed, also go away with fusion.

Also, fusion could be orders of magnitude more efficient than fission, to the point where we can solve literally all of our sustainability problems just by throwing energy at the problem. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere? Build a factory that uses electricity to extract CO2 from the air, combine it with water, and recycle it back into hydrocarbons. Not enough water? Build desalination plants--the only reason we don't is because they're energy-intensive and energy is expensive. Need a sustainable source of nitrogen-based fertilizers? Extract nitrogen from the air. Batteries don't store as much energy as hydrocarbons? Manufacture EVEN MORE hydrocarbons out of the air and water and then use them to power your airplanes, in a closed-loop system where you're not even increasing the net amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

You can make a great sustainability case with fission. With fusion, you can make an incredible sustainability case and take away all of the fears involved. And by the time we get around to inventing it, odds are we're going to be fucked enough not to have any other choice but to adopt it.

"overactive classification"

Let me drop you off at Skid Row down in Los Angeles. A capacity for "overactive classification" will keep you from looking like a weak target and make you alert.

If you want to talk about "getting over this as a species", then why not put your money where your mouth is and move to a "diverse" neighborhood? I'm sure your snobbish weariness will slap you back in the face when you realize that you can't leave anything in your vehicle, when you can't leave windows open at night, etc.

Now something that should be over, as a species, is the will to annihilate discriminatory thought as a sacrifice to membership in the modern shibboleth of "secular holiness and secular virtue". There is no virtue and no holiness in discarding the innumerable scenarios where being "racist" is a life and death difference.

In a way, it's a form of class warfare where rich people, with private security and gates, mock lower classes for not merely getting along "like they should". Think of all the celebrities talking about the evil of guns in an awards ceremony, oblivious to the hundreds of armed personnel protecting the venue!

A weird part of "contemporary" thought is the idea of all or nothing. That if one makes judgements on a racial grouping, it automatically means one is utterly incapable of dealing with individual people...as individual people. I'll never move to a black-majority neighborhood but I'll never disrespect an AA as an individual. Yet I've been told how bad that is, even as the same people fumble to "relate" to an AA by trying to imitate greeting stereotypes they saw on TV! Because ultimately it's less about the people they claim to care about and more about having a social holy halo; a mere trinket they affix to their self-worth.
Also "teleco". I assume this is supposed to be telco or telecom

> they usually mean requiring that compile-time-detectible undefined behaviors

I don't believe that's the case for plenty of reasons, such as:

- compilers already do that ( yeah, it's one of those RTFM things. See for example GCC's undefined behavior sanitizer)

- the standard already specifies exactly what it is left undefined, thus it's a compiler-related issue (see point above)

Let's face it: some people mindlessly parrot the"undefined behaviour" mantra just for show.
This already exists, it was a big story back in the day (for the time a highly backed Kickstarter campaign):

Two legs seems cheaper than four legs.
Most buyers in your ‘fair auction’ would disagree, as they would pay more than others per share. Because of that, many potential buyers would wait to see what price the market finds reasonable. End result is increased risk for the company going public.

Some kind of Vickrey auction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickrey_auction) would probably be fairer.

In this example, I guess the bank handling the IPO talked to potential investors and then set what it thinks was a reasonable price, taking into account that, typically, the company doing the IPO wants the positive PR of a rising stock price. It seems they underestimated, as 40% is very steep.
Thanks!

If the stock price bounces up and back down (but still closes higher after a year compared to IPO), no one is really upset. People chalk it up to hype.

If the stock price is lower after a year than IPO, you start feeling a lot of investor pressure. No one likes losing money and people take it as a sign that there are problems with your business.

Would it be a good idea to use the term technology instead of AI?

It's basically an act of war, you are destroying their self-governance. So when war is moral (ie in defense of self or others against violent oppression / other autonomy destroying acts), there is a case to be made. But then you still need to justify your specific means - which is a direct attack on the Civilians of the country by taking away their apparent liberty without telling them that is the case. Obviously that view entails understanding lies as taking away others' liberty by denial of truth on which to base their decisions.

The decision would be easier (but not easy) to make if their own government was deceiving them grossly, in which case your interference could bring more truth than it obscured. Any moral choice remains predicated on the lack of availability of better, more direct and honest methods. And of course these are practical decisions with all the obscurity and uncertainty they entail.

Between the characteristic of an attack on civilians and the potential of actually bringing in more truth than is obscured if their own government is sowing lies, I first pointed to helping the citizens of the country as the only moral option. Without making a decision (I would have to think about it further), there might be drastic circumstances where there was no other viable course of action - but again within the context of acts of war and significant collateral damage.

> If i call a function in a library which uses static dispatch, the compiler will include the relevant monomorphisation of the function, and any other generic functions it calls.

Indeed, and that's what precisely one wants if they've chosen static dispatch since the alternative approach is opaque and inhibits optimization. Inlining across compilation units is a rather important feature! I don't see how that prevents reusability, though?

I consider myself a good enough engineer, and I've picked up a lot of languages. Recently I built and launched a server agent for Cronitor. Going in I knew it needed to be portable and compile to an executable. I considered Go, Rust and C.

I decided to spend a day and build 3 versions of a basic Usage block to get a feel for each. I'd never written Go or Rust, and only passable C.

I did C first and then tried Rust. I gave up. It was too much of a learning curve for a ~3 mos project. I ended up using Go. I'll write up a blog post soon, Go is not without challenges, but I'm comforted by blog posts like this to see that I'm not the only mortal here still challenged by Rust.

> The idea that race is a social construct is simply dumb

The idea that it is not a social construct is both dumb and ahistorical. (OTOH, readily apparent phenotype obviously has some correlation to genotype, so there is going to be a degree of correlation between he social construct and genetics, especially when the social construct includes socially-enforced rules discouraging reproduction outside of the socially-ascribed category.)

> If our collective memory was wiped today, tomorrow we would distinguish humans by what we call 'races'.

We'd probably adopt a somewhat similar concept with different dividing lines based on loose association of readily apparent phenotypic traits with the social affinities, power dynamics, and other conflicts and commonalities that formed after the mass forgetting event. This is easily predictable because studies of concepts of race across time and space in history without such mass forgetting events show differences driven by such affinities, shifting (mostly slowly) as those affinities change over time.

> Why is this controversial?

Because it aligns with what some people want very much to believe (hence support for it) but is inconsistent with historical evidence (hence, opposition to it), producing controversy.
That's a tough one because electricity is the main cost, and most people are not aware enough with their electricity costs and CPU efficiency to consent to that intelligently.
