> I’ve come to understand that economic-justice arguments on both sides are really ex post facto rationalizations for beliefs like “we should live in houses and drive” vs. “we should live in condos and take transit.”

Yeah, unfortunately I think this is basically true. You can almost perfectly predict whether someone supports SB 827 based on whether they prefer single family homes or urban density.
1,000,000 is easy to read, 1.000.000 too. It’s values like 1.350 that trip me up. Using a small space is not confusing to anybody.
>I bet the higher frequency of claims is either because people who buy electrics are worse drivers or simply more litigious. Probably both.

I think you should re-read what you are quoting. My reading is that the electric cars that were not made by Tesla had fewer claims than their ICE counterparts.
It's especially ironic, given that the game is made by Epic, a company that officially supports game development on Linux with their engine.

> Google reliably detect pages like this?

The same way it reliable detects the content of the site and everything else. Take a snapshot and keep the latest history.

You can easily change the content on a page with javascript so Google still needs to load everything to get an accurate representation. Since there are plenty of tools already (including Google's own) that measure page loading speed, it would be trivial to combine them into a performance score for search rankings.

If speed was actually made into a strong signal, major websites would've become as fast as AMP within months.
I have a one year old and this is such empowering advice. I discovered a lot of this on my own somehow, but reading that blog now reminds me to cut the bullshit that somehow keeps creeping back in. When explaining to my boss and peers why I was quitting my dream job, I would repeat, "life is fleeting, I want to watch my son grow up."

I've had that wish for a few months now. I have another job that's a bit less rewarding but I work from home and it's far more relaxed. I've already remarked to myself or my wife a dozen moments that I would have missed if I was elsewhere that day: at work, in traffic, etc.

I feel so blessed that I was lucky enough to figure this out this early in life.
That reverse lookup time is not counted in the first ping.

Your experience was due to a bug in iOS that Apple has since fixed. Those of us using platforms that allow quickly updating non-buggy browsers never saw such issues.

From 2014. Good summary video.
I've read too many papers published in peer review journals where a tiny advance is sold like a groundbreaking game changing advance, so I'm very difficult to impress.

The most popular cases of overstatement are the improvement of the batteries life and the cure of cancer. but there are similar bad reporting in less popular fields.

In this case it's easy to decide. We can just wait until April 1st 2033 and see if there is a tokamak fusion reactor that can break even without creative accounting.
Are you saying that the failure of YIMBY to understand counterpoints are what is making disagreements between tech workers and TOT?

I think it's the opposite. When YIMBY ignore counterpoints, that's a core point of agreement with TOT. Because TOT ignore counterpoints even harder.
I’m sure some smarter people than me has tried to take stabs at estimating what’s required to do this, so I can’t positively say this will or will not ever happen (especially with quantum computing). But do consider:

We think the brain has 100 billion neurons. Making those work is a very complex network, lots of chemical gradients, bio-electrical systems, cellular-level systems, and probably a host of other things we don’t know about. So it wouldn’t surprise me if for single neuron you’d need to model another billion things at minimum.

Now factor in all of the other input senses, and those 100B neurons have increased dramatically for I/O. Plus a multiplier to model everything going on inside a neuron. Then there’s also modeling the communication layers between, effects of myelin sheaths and all that.

So we’ve established that just to run a single “step in time” (whatever that means, as that’s a computing concept), we’re into probably billions of trillions of calculations.

Now what those model have to make sense and do something coherent. Every future step. So now you need some kind of meta model that is able to push this forward and continue in the right trajectory. Now complexity is dramatically even higher.

Now that we’ve somehow figured out how to model everything required for intelligence, we need to search that space through brute force, as you put it.

To me it seems like the time required will be astronomical — Sun might have blown up by then.

So why go down this route? Nature solved this in parallel relatively cheaply through billions of iterations and billions of permutations over tens of thousands of years.

Seems easier to simplify the problem down to more basic stuff that works well enough and iterate / combine systems. Either that or find a way to grow a “brain in a test tube” that you can hookup to a computer. There’s also always humans available at mass scale for pretty cheap across the globe — sophisticated intelligence built in.
but the non-tesla electric cars also had more severe (though fewer) claims. Part of that is probably that an electric car is just plain more expensive than it's ICE counterpart right now, and my experience is that repair cost of a vehicle scales with the capital cost of a vehicle.
Crypto peaked at 707 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. Less than three months later, market cap has now plunged by 65% to $245 billion, a drop of $462B.

Given how high transaction costs are (and production via electricity usage) crypto trading is almost certainly negative sum.

The only way it wouldn't be is if the non-monetary benefits (eg sense of security for different asset class, online purchases) exceed the electrical inputs.

I would be very surprised if it does given eg Steam and Bitcoin conferences stopped accepting crypto payment and the sense of security in an asset class is low after seeing -65% returns in a quarter.
What does "absurdly expensive" in this context mean? There are many companies that make affordable wooden platform beds. kd frames is a good one:

https://kdframes.com/collections/beds/products/asheville-pla...

https://kdframes.com/collections/beds/products/fold-platform...

$150 for a full-size platform that folds and is made of solid wood seems like a good price to me.

You can get lower if you go for a metal frame, e.g. Zinus:

Nothing on the YIMBY side holds a candle to the NIMBY group Gay Shame's vandalism of city property, doxxing, harassment, threats of violence, and assault.
From Comcast in San Francisco, I'm seeing that CloudFlare is the slowest of Google Public DNS, OpenDNS, Level 3, and Comcast's resolver.

Definitely not what I was expecting...

Tesla doesn’t do collision repair. They have a program to certify third party body shops for that.

FWIW I would be surprised if there is not a delay when deleting from S3/Azure Storage/GCS (and thus anything that uses those services).
Because bedbugs.
I don't think the anti-cheat middleware they are using works on Linux.
There is going to be a higher threshold of self-driving vehicles, because random accidents by random people is not narrative-inspiring but for self-driving vehicles all accidents will be the fault of The Corporation. Every single individual accident will be the focus of world media fascination and speculation to derive how the motives of the corporation's singular supermind chose to allow it to happen, which will turn out to be that it was too greedy, scheming, uncaring, lazy, etc. There will be intense focus on a trickle of rare accidents because they are caused by a powerful corporate overmind that is potentially betraying us all, and little interest in a greater number of random accidents caused by no one of particular recognition for no discernable reason. Which is exactly what we've seen so far.
Could you elaborat on the IKEA mattress? What was the model name and who was the famous manufacturer?
Indeed. I misread it as “higher” on both. In that case it’d be the reverse, with electric drivers being statistical better drivers.
It’s been a year
No business is completely a dumb pipe, the DMCA provisions are very specific and are increasingly overruled once enough (copyrighted) content is in place.

Cloudflare also specifically removed that site for a stated reason that they claimed CF was helping them. That is outside the bounds of the site content itself and is a perfectly fine argument to stop doing business based on libel and misrepresentation.
None of your business. Who do you think you are? Facebook?
I think it would be fair to say they Apple'd it.

Given how they sued people who gave bad reviews to their products, I think that is more than enough reason to never buy from them, especially sight unseen.
Interesting in light of tesla's claim that autopilot improves safety
At one point he briefly mentions (almost in an off-handed way) the issue of scaling the novel semiconductor production approach. Would be interesting to know how big of an ask that really is. Maybe I'm jaded by current events but figure it's only a matter of time before the science community has its Bernie Madoff moment. Especially in light of how renewables seem on the cusp of their moment to shine.
Most users think otherwise. Most users prefer results that load instantly, which is why the dominant search engines in the US, Japan, China, and Russia as well as the dominant short message sharing services in the US and China all provide special support for AMP results.
I was looking at an Ecosa Sleep ad on facebook a few months ago and considered purchasing one of their mattresses, until I read some of their comments.

They claim their mattresses are better because of reduced EMF radiation (compared to traditional mattresses with springs) and when i called them out on their pseudo-science bs I got a nasty reply telling me I was wrong and to do some research!
Why do or don't people like IoC?
I have to disagree with you here regarding "enterprisization". Having worked in multiple large Java code bases leveraging multiple DI frameworks (Spring, Guice, and Dagger), I've definitely seen both sides of the argument first hand. I'm targeting DI specifically here, because it is most often complained about when talking about "enterprise" software. What I've learned is that proper use of DI is hugely beneficial in large code bases. Where things really break down is when the code base suffers from a lack of philosophy. The biggest issue with DI is that it is very easy to abuse, but these abuses have very specific patterns and can easily be avoided by applying a principled approach to development.

Regarding the beauty of DI, let me provide an example of a typical large application. Such an application may need a UserInfo class to model a user's information in the app. This user info class will likely have many dependencies: it needs a way to persist itself to disk, to make network calls for server syncs, and any other ancillary components. As an app component, I don't need to understand any of this. I just add a component to my constructor and I immediately have access to any functionality I may need. Using DI in this way also has a nice side effect: classes can be stateless singletons and still be easily testable with mocks. And the best part is none of this is magical. All of it is governed by a few simple rules.
I think it's best to split these in to two 'investigations' to talk about. Yep the barrier probably contributed to the death but are we really interested in talking about? We're here to talk about the self-driving bit! We wouldn't be talking about it if it was a 2002 Toyota Camry that hit it..
Haha! April Fools Day is one of my favorites!
On a phone? Last time I tried adblocking on a phone I was super irritated by it. Some proxy setup that never quite worked and felt like it slowed everything down.
I learned base 12 arithmetic in gradeschool and the textbook used T and E for 10, 11.

I'm pretty sure this was before people started using hex notation for computing and logic.
Make performance (not AMP) matter in search rankings and websites would immediately start getting faster.
Needs a [video] tag.

That didn’t seem like a “behind the scenes” kind of video, more like an overview of what Demo Day is, with montages of each presentation, some off-the-cuff conversations with people, and a (to me, odd) conversation on marijuana beverages.

I like this as a basic, “What Is Demo Day?” video.

Although, I would be interested in an actual ‘behind-the-scenes’ video, conversing everything from startups preparing & testing their presentations, to the back-end software, to venue operations.

If anyone is looking for more information about locked-in syndrome, the book "Consciousness and the Brain" by Stanislas Dehaenehas has some chapters about a few of these patients. Dehaenehas details how they use fMRIs to communicate with some of the patients. Its a very interesting read.
You’re assuming a high UBI. I’m not.

The economics are sound so long as it’s a simple income. Economists have argued for simple payments to decision makers instead of regulations many times and different contexts.

I second that. I recently bought a king size tempur, upgrading from my queen size (which got moved to my spare room). It's not just comfortable - it's next level. I slept on a Casper at an airbnb for a full month this past summer - it's not bad but it isn't tempurpedic.

Ps, check my past comments - I am not a shill, just someone who digs tempurpedic.
I'm not a big fan of any of the people mentioned in the article (though I have occasionally had exposure to good pieces from Quillete), but it's been several years since I've been exposed to what this article calls the "Intellectual Dark Web" and adjacent fora. I honestly just thought it was called "people who aren't stupid", or less acidly, "liberalism" (in the classic sense). Seriously, look at this list of bullet points:

> A willingness to engage in conversations with people who have different beliefs and political viewpoints

> Rejection of identity politics (and a recognition that it has become the dominant ideology in mainstream media discourse)

> Ideas worth listening to

>Honoring of freedom of speech

With the exception of the identity politics bullet pt, which requires a value judgment about the current state of mainstream discourse, none of these seem remotely controversial to me. Pearl-clutching, censorship, and labeling thoughts as wrongthink have their uses for the purposes of social cohesion, but are of questionable usefulness in any context where you're trying to improve your understanding of pretty much _anything_. I've read some pretty out-there stuff in these communities, and been happy to consider it and be able to articulate _why_ I find it vile. I've also read things that would've pattern-matched to something horrible, but upon consideration realized that they were actually saying something pretty reasonable that didn't have any of the negative implications that the normal approach would lead one to expect.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not exactly criticizing this article. What I'm talking about _should_ be a trivial part of most fora, but the article isn't wrong that it's pretty rare and pretty fragile among communities on the Web.
Okay? I wasn't talking about Nim or any language specifically.
Depends on the state. Reusing mattresses is not permitted in California, unless the mattress has undergone a sanitization process that often costs as much as the mattress is worth.
Also, whether by design or not, this links back to your personal website which leads to directly identifiable information about you.

Their main mental block is their belief in infinite industrial growth on a finite planet, an idea so powerfully foolish that it obviates their standing as technocrats.

This is the Erlich/Simons bet. It's not that the author is wrong to say there is a limit to growth, it's just that it's preposterous to assert we're close to it. We are not close to it in any useful sense. It's not even 200 years off: it's beyond.

We will have normal cyclical boom and bust many times before we reach it. The rape of the Amazon and they CO2 burden are more worrisome, but as limits represent a different reason to clamp consumption and growth.

My theory, for what it’s worth, is that the civil rights legislation of 1964 and ’65, which removed legal barriers to full participation in national life, induced considerable anxiety among black citizens over the new disposition of things, for one reason or another. And that is exactly why a black separatism movement arose as an alternative at the time, led initially by such charismatic figures as Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael.

I don't know about the second clause but I believe differently about the first clause. Removing the legal impediment did not obligate society to change, black America received as much systemic instituionalized racism after the law changed as before, it was now simply illegal. Freeing the slave (btw, largely they freed themselves) didn't give them work and passing the civil rights laws didn't magically end racism or provide opportunities.
Just one thought: I am glad that there are people who are trying to solve extremely hard problems even if they will never see success themselves. I much prefer money and intelligence being spent on fusion than on developing new weapons or technology to create perfect surveillance so more ads can be served.

As far as I understand fusion is at a point where we know almost 100% it can be done but there is a long list of hairy problems to solve. Working on these is money well spent in my view.
Hmm, you're right about keyboards. My gut still says that learning a new interface is an unlikely thing to expect of consumers, but it'll obviously need more thought.

My issue certainly isn't with interfaces being easier for all things, I was challenging that this benefited in any substantial situation at all, but I'll concede my point until and unless I refine my argument about people being unwilling to invest effort in a new interface.
I'm not surprised. Tesla's Model S replaced Toyota's Prius as the eco-conscious high-tech status symbol vehicle to own. Owner surveys show a lot of people came over to Tesla from ordinary cars rather than from other luxury cars or muscle cars. Someone coming from a compact hybrid that does 0-60 in 11 seconds, to a huge sports car that does it in 2.5 seconds, is probably more likely than the average driver to get into an accident.
Not opening for me.

So you think Google has no interest in making search results load faster and this factor is just a ploy?
How would you prove identity on a blockchain? You'd be worse equipped than Facebook. Are you suggesting some entity verify folks who sign up for this distributed social network? Make an Ehtereum contract to do it? Either way, this sounds dubious at best.
