Sorry to pick on you again, but missed the other fork of your argument that it is not economical to have more regulation than other countries:

> If the US regulates itself into having a difficult time making or using working/economical cars, then other countries can more economically create better cars ...

The problem is that global companies will build to suit the local regulation or that there will be a race to the bottom. Either leads to atrocities like this:

> Why do you deserve a job over a resident with equal skills?

This kind of discourse around immigration in some circles is extremely short-sighted. Every time America has taken in a wave of immigrants - whether unskilled or skilled (e.g. scientists fleeing Germany in WWII) it has been a net positive for the county in the long run. The idea that labor is a zero-sum game - where a job occupied by an immigrant is one not going to a native - is ridiculous on its face.

Consider a similar idea on the consumption side - "if an immigrant buys a TV it's bad because that means an American won't be able to get a TV" - to see how silly it is. But years of propaganda about "immigrants taking our jobs" has somehow turned this into a truism.

In conclusion, please read some research on the topic before trotting out this tired talking point [1][2][3].

I read your comment as suggesting to optimise for higher absolute revenue but lower absolute profit, which I find confusing - since it seems less useful than just optimising for profit - so maybe I'm not understanding what you are saying, or not fully understanding the consequences.

I'd say this is the main reason distributed systems even exist, because no amount of crash proofing file writes for the filesystem is going to make disks, raids correct and reliable, individual machines, datacenters reliable, operational mistakes not happen, interpretation and other mistakes not happen and so on.

On the other hand consistency on random writes to files is not something absolutely necessary. We can get away with just sequential writes and there would be not much to reorder and to mess up to begin with.

This reminds me of this quote from historian Carlo Cipolla in Steven Pinker's Enlightenment Now:

"In preindustrial Europe, the purchase of a garment or of the cloth for a garment remained a luxury the common people could only afford a few times in their lives. One of the main preoccupations of hospital administration was to ensure that the clothes of the deceased should not be usurped but should be given to lawful inheritors. During epidemics of plague, the town authorities had to struggle to confiscate the clothes of the dead and to burn them: people waited for others to die so as to take over their clothes—which generally had the effect of spreading the epidemic."

Quite the opposite. Electrical vehicles benefit from high oil prices so eliminating regulations that would reduce demand for oil (thus reducing prices) would reduce demand for EVs.

Increasing demand for oil and increasing oil prices will increase demand for EVs because it makes them more competitive.

It's not "real" 128-bit addressing; for addressing routable networks you have only 64 bits. The rest is for devices inside that network. Additionally, it is quite possible that any single device will have more than one IP (with SLAAC, it can ask for how many it needs. With DHCPv6, it can be limited, and that's exactly why Android doesn't support it. Your cellphone company would be able to prevent you from tethering). There's no NAT, so you can't hide a network behind a single IP.

Except for the fact that, you know, we've _literally_ ran out of addresses bar a very, very limited supply? And that _billions_ of people won't be able to access the internet as a result?

I can only imagine we'll be this complacent with things like oil, or plastic pollution or anything. Only acting when it's _far_ too late. Every ISP around the world should have pledged IPv6 20 years ago, but some are _still_ not starting today!

“We present models for encoding sentences into embedding vectors that specifically target transfer learning to other NLP tasks. The models are efficient and result in accurate performance on diverse transfer tasks. Two variants of the encoding models allow for trade-offs between accuracy and compute resources. For both variants, we investigate and report the relationship between model complexity, resource consumption, the availability of transfer task training data, and task performance. Comparisons are made with baselines that use word level transfer learning via pretrained word embeddings as well as baselines do not use any transfer learning. We find that transfer learning using sentence embeddings tends to outperform word level transfer. With transfer learning via sentence embeddings, we observe surprisingly good performance with minimal amounts of supervised training data for a transfer task. We obtain encouraging results on Word Embedding Association Tests (WEAT) targeted at detecting model bias. Our pre-trained sentence encoding models are made freely available for download and on TF Hub.”

This guy is a VP at Facebook. Words mean things and his words have weight within the company. This alone disgusts me. He could have easily taken the other side of the argument to stir debate and chose not to.

> Leakers, please resign instead of sabotaging the company

I think the level of hubris espoused by these Facebook employees is a much better reason to delete Facebook than anything I've seen so far. In fact, although the data we have gotten is incomplete, it seems to possibly be the general feeling. The focus on growth and profit over any thought of doing the right thing is actually evil, especially when one recognizes that evil is being done.

This company is no longer a small company built out of a dorm room. It is a massive publicly traded company that has revenues and active users in the billions. Despite the current climate, words actually have meaning, especially words greatly amplified on these tools, and these actions have real consequences.

No. The only case when someone ever threatened to hold gun to my head and demanded money was taxation. With cryptocurrency it's possible to avoid that, because they don't know how much money you have. And even when they do know, it's much harder for them to take it, they need to know password.

The cool / terrible thing about English (and other "international" languages) is that if there is a way to pronounce something someway, someone will pronounce it that way. Once we then define grammatical rules based on pronunciation of surrounding words, we then have to deal with the fallout of those rules. I have my opinions of pronunciation, but if the majority start pronouncing "usual" as "oosual" then I'll just shake my head and grumble a bit while accepting that the language has moved on. After all, Americans say "Aluminum" and there's nothing I can do about it!

The end of the article makes a very good point:

It is well known that equal loudness is crucial for nuanced A-B testing with sound and often a PITA to get right. (and vice versa, PR A-B tests of some audio "enhancers" or simply toggling the ones of your soundcard often use this trick and nodge up volume a bit with effects on)

one key thing to keep in mind is that blind tests aren't the end all and be all. remember coke kept finding that people who drank coke preferred pepsi in a blind taste test. It turned out because Pepsi was sweater, but people's enjoyment of a beverage goes further than just sitting down taking a few sips of a drink.

Relying on data like that lead to one of the greatest follys in business history: New Coke. Many people when put on the spot get it wrong what they like, as they often focus on something very trivial. In coke, it was sweetness, and in these violins, loudness.

#DeleteNetflix Campaign Erupts in Brazil
That is absolutely, entirely useless and a completely stupid way of prolonging the demise of IPv4; CGN doesn't help in regards to you wanting an IPv4 for your next billion-dollar project which may require several v4's for all the different layers (because most web apps are not that simple these days).

So sure, sharing an IP amongst many people may help a little, but we've already ran out _today_. There are people living right now that will _never_ be able to access the internet or make a website because of this.

One example: Digital Ocean have a cap on the number of servers they can run at one time due to the fact each droplet gets a unique v4.

I wish somebody here were highly knowledgeable about the CAFE standards that are potentially being rolled back. The details we should be focusing on are the details of the tradeoff: How much incremental cost is added to the vehicle due to the standard? How much fuel efficiency is gained? Are there other tradeoffs (safety, etc) due to engineering constraints? The environmental tradeoff has to be weighed as well, of course.
I remember seeing articles in the past that indicated the fuel efficiency targets were essentially unrealistic, and unattainable without drastically altering the lineup of cars available from a given manufacturer. Hard to dig them up though.

Here are some (admittedly biased) links:

The more neutral article does mention a handful of technologies that help reach the fuel efficiency targets. Seemed like a lot of engineering (and therefore cost).

> There's no NAT, so you can't hide a network behind a single IP.

NAT66 disagrees with you. It’s been in the Linux kernel since version 3.7.

Whether you should do it is a different question, but saying NAT capabilities don’t exist with IPv6 is incorrect.
Yes obviously, but sailing is similarly remote from civilisation, you’re a small group with nobody else nearby. So the changes would be similar, except that it’s trivial to mount on a boat so the changes the GP was thinking about actually apply to that scenario.

> An easier to see example is with dishwashers and toilets. The new generation of toilets created by EPA regulations has made toilets that don't really flush very well and are more expensive than before; people end up flushing multiple times which then wastes water.

A similar comparison is diesel cars. For the last 15 years or so, all diesel cars have come with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) that removes a lot of the soot and other nasty things that come out of a diesel engine.

First of all, these systems mean the engine uses more fuel, as the components of the DPF need to be kept hot to operate properly (the same as a catalytic converter on petrol engines). However as the car gets older (~150,000km) the filter will end up getting pretty blocked up. This means the engine will produce less power, consume even more fuel, and if it becomes blocked enough, eventually damage the engine.

At this point you will be faced with a bill of a few thousand euro to replace the system - on a car that's probably not worth much more. Or as is common in a lot of Eastern European countries, just remove it, and drive another 150,000km. This is illegal in quite a few European countries, but if the job has been done properly, it's basically impossible to tell. European emissions testing doesn't test for these type of emissions, so you won't have any problems there.
