One problem which plagues my state: the money spent on fighting fires last summer had to come from somewhere, and that somewhere was a portion of the budget for road maintenance.

California had a lot of fires it had to fight last year. Where did that budget come from?

Meh, I’ll take a pass on that. Chlorinated tap water in developed nations should have no appreciable microbial content. If you’re concerned about lead, I can understand that. If your goal is sterile food and your baby is healthy, I don’t really get that. You’re presumably washing your baby’s bottles in tap water anyway.

So pleasure should only be for the wealthy?

I know that this may sound strange, and I don't share this trait myself, but for many people sex is a critical part of forming a romantic bond with their partner. Without sex, they feel unloved and invalidated in the relationship. That's just part of their emotional needs. So for some people sex is indeed a psychological need.
Javascript and reloading a web page are the obvious parallel. There are one liners for changing colors, fonts, etc. A tiny bit of canvas setup and you can draw freely. I think sound is slightly more complicated, but not much. It might make sense to make a little js library (maybe call it basic.js, though I'm not actually recommending copying the BASIC language) and then write some blog post that start with loading it, and then fooling around in the JS console.
I think he/she meant something different: it's not about how big/small are the chances, but about how much we know on the probability distribution.

You assume you know the probability distributions, you compare them and determine that nuclear will kill less than coal burning.

Except that you might have never observed a black swan event before (eg. massive sabotage of nuclear plants).

So the probability distributions you inferred from past events might be wrong.

The case of a lottery is different as the probability distribution of outcomes can be determined with certainty.

This assumes that consuming the news equates to being well informed. I certainly doubt that assumption. Journalism relating to areas I know well is often woefully inaccurate, if it even is reporting rather than opinion. And keeping in mind the Gell-Mann Effect, I should probably not give the stories about topics beyond my expertise the benefit of the doubt.
This leads to an honest question on my part:

What concessions would gun rights advocates accept in order to allow some restrictions? What's there left to give on this issue that wouldn't undermine any controls.

Say, for example, I wanted gun owners/users to be required to be as responsible as car users, i.e. pass a test, maintain a license and registration for weapons and weapon users, and hold liability insurance to cover damage either intentional or accidental (that would obviously scale with the likelihood and amount of damage the gun can do). What can gun control advocates give that will get that done?

I think part of the reason the gun debate can be one sided from the "control" side is that the US already is quite far to the "rights" side of the spectrum, relative to the rest of the developed world. It can be difficult to see where we could plausibly move further in that direction without causing more of the problems we're (hopefully) all trying to solve: unnecessary bloodshed.
Tech or nontech business? Engineering driven org or not? Size of org? Structure of existing team? Relationship of this team to other teams? Overall structure of org? Hiring strategy? Where in culture spectrum does your business require you to be?

When we had our first kid, we scoured the shops looking for good deals on diapers. Turns out there's a mailinglist you can subscribe to which alerts young parents when a shop in the vicinity has a sale on diapers. Buying them in bulk at the right time can save a lot of money.

By the time we had our second child, we didn't care. We buy diapers without thinking about it now. The stress of worrying about this is a bigger cost for us now than the money we pay.

Friends used cloth diapers for environmental reasons. Hell of a lot of work, and I have no idea what they cost. Old-fashioned cloth diapers are cheap, but messy.
This was also the case with TV's. Where one family in the street would own a TV and all the neighbourhood kids would come and gather to watch. Well before my time though :)
Additionally, an average person is able to understand what both are. The real issue is whether people think an idea has any value, not whether they understand domain-specific terminology.
You know you set the price right when people are angry at you, but they buy it anyway.

The important thing here is passion. It is easy enough to teach the basics of programming like it is easy to teach the basics of math, but without passion for the actual subject people tend to disregard even their own knowledge and expertise.

tl;dr: It is important to share with your children the things you are passionate about, but equally important is to watch for things your children are passionate about.

Do you think literally every piece of research which studies for e.g. something about ethereum is marketing for ethereum? Would you use the same logic to conclude that a systems paper that implements some novel kernel architecture by patching linux and running experiments is "marketing for Linux"? That someone implementing a novel language feature in GHC is "marketing for Haskell"? That a paper evaluating QUIC using anonymous Chrome telemetry is "marketing for Chrome"?
This is one of the reasons why I am happy with Kraamzorg [1]. I learned from them that if you got a boy the first thing you do when you change a boy's diaper is put something on their penis (such as a burp cloth) so that they can't pee you in the face (or on the carpet/wall/door or w/e). I remembered that even though we don't have a boy; we had a girl about 2 months ago. :-)

FWIW, we're changing diapers roughly every 3-4 hours. I can pretty much put my clock on it (a blue strip shows if she's pee'd). Every 2 hours is overkill. The strip wouldn't be full blue yet.

There's also (washable) cloth diapers which are better for the environment and wallet though they're also an investment. We're planning on switching to them, but it is too early for now.

I put this comment in the Tesla thread, but it applies here as well. Last summer saw a lot of really bad forest fires that had to be fought. The costs of fighting those fires had to come from the state in most cases, and many budgets suffered as a result (a situation made worse by the broad denials of federal assistance to states). In our case (Montana) the budget that suffered the most was road maintenance.

Our roads received the minimum possible care they could receive this winter; the state just couldn’t afford more.

Rather than getting defensive, municipalities should support these groups much in the same way they do volunteer fire departments.
If all centralized providers disappeared and I had to send a message to my friend, I wouldn't setup my own SMTP server... I'd just send him an iMessage. Or I'd post to a Slack group. The system without centralized providers is useless to most people using it today because no one wants to learn how to setup a mail server when there are dozens of alternative messaging tools.

As for the few that do have the capacity to setup a mail server, they would only be able to message others that also have the capacity to setup a mail server (again we're assuming no centralized providers and thus no delegation of this task to a trusted party). So maybe the system would still work for this niche group... but then we get into the bigger question: are there entities today that control the Internet and do they have the capacity to shut down systems like email? Tor?
It's great to see this in the Guardian. I use some of these publications as a litmus test for when a concept has finally gained broad appeal.

I think people feel like they need to do something to try to stop a “bad behavior.”

" Are you saying that people should only be angry about things they were promised explicitly?" I am def. in no position to direct how people should feel about something.

I assume you're referring to China, since "Asia" is a big and diverse place.

The Chinese use elimination training, or "potty on demand." You place the kid over the potty, make a specific sound they associate with going potty (you created the association previously) and they go. You then repeat this enough times in a day to eliminate the need for diapers.

I don't think elimination training is potty training. In potty training you're teaching the kid to tell YOU when they need to go, in elimination you are telling THEM when to go. Plus in potty training they're doing "active holding" whereas in elimination you're aiming for things to never get to that stage by going "potty on demand" enough throughout a day.

I think elimination training is very interesting and some parents have had great success mixing elimination with diapers to reduce the amount of accidents/cost. But even if they're trained on the elimination technique, they'd still need to be potty trained later, it just might be easier (since, again, you're asking them to tell you, rather than you tell them).
If your city isn't fixing potholes to your liking, it is almost guaranteed to be the result of a general lack of funds.

Have you ever lived in a city? I cannot reconcile this proposition with my understanding of any municipal situation I have ever seen. Cities certainly have enough money to patch potholes. They already have a compactor and a dump truck, and asphalt is cheap. If any city is not fixing potholes, it is a question of priorities. There is probably some byzantine explanation of e.g. why potholes on this street are fixed while those on some other are not, but that can't be simplified to "we don't have enough money".
You should pick your technical stack depending on what the requirements are. Picking the stack first means you're forever going to be trying to shoehorn the requirements around it, which is a pretty terrible way to design a long term solution.

And then you need to look around yourself at the resources you have now and what they may be 5 years from now. There's no use writing something up in a little used language hoping you'll be able to hire for it later and adding risk by writing something in a language or technology only you know in your company is creating an unnecessary bus factor of 1.

This is incredibly annoying, I agree, but having run a service for which people type their email addresses, and having seen just how many people can't actually type their own email address properly (currently running at about 5%) I'm not surprised that a service aimed at non-technical people puts in attempted safeguards like this.

And my service is for technical people - I can't imagine what it's like for genuinely open services.

The fact is that these bug bounty programs should start paying competitive prices. They can lowball it by 10x-20x at most, but lowballing by 1000x leads to people just giving up their ethics.
Well, it's rather obvious that an IQ measures how good you are at completing IQ tests. The question is whether IQ is good predictor of success in whatever kind of work you are doing. If it is, then I can't blame them for making you take the test.

Definitely agree with memcached. This has been entirely bullet proof for us for years. We have had lots of nodes with billions of hits each running non stop for 3 years without a reboot on CentOS 5. Zero maintenance required. Amazing bit of software.

There's a crap ton of tech in the military world, and the US is generally the most advanced at a lot of it. Both public knowledge (F-22/F-35, THAAD, aircraft carriers) and all the other sorts of crap - satellites/surveillance tech, software (stuxnet), whatever. The arms race never stopped, it's just not about making singularly bigger bombs anymore, because they're plenty big to destroy the whole planet many times over.

The US isn't spending 800 billion a year on nothing.
While I agree that the emphasis should be on the protocols traction is important and most people see the platform.
It can also show some deficiencies of the protocols which is always good.
I think most of these platforms do understand the need for true federation. For example Mastodon can now talk and

> Don’t get us wrong, we believe that many of these services are crucial for society, like healthcare, education, and maintained roadways, but we believe that the way to achieve access for all is by deconstructing the state and capitalism, as well as other coercive hierarchies that exist in our society

One thing that always struck me, was in a capitialistic society we are actually all incentivised to fix potholes ourselves... Basically the improved potholes keep us safe, improve business, etc. I think many are just so short sighted, that when they think of capitalism they think of the standard "greedy corporation"

If people actually thought two steps ahead (including said corporation) theyd be more like Amazon, improve logistics and you improve the world. Literally, everyone profits. That's the point of capitalism, you can basically do what you want. These guys are filling potholes for themselves, they said as much. That's a selfish, capitalism-centric act

No, it's not the case that "everyone" does that. I don't, and many of my colleagues don't. Perhaps muggles in general don't, and perhaps you're really only talking about such non-technical people, but your hyperbole undermines your argument.

And I'm getting really tired of those big services automatically classing as spam anything that comes from a different domain.

My ideal business app layout (I assume we are talking enterprise, here) would be:

DB: A hybrid of Postgres & MongoDB

Front End: intercooler.js (SPAs blow out your complexity budget, which should be spent on business logic)

Caching: Redis

PaaS: the system should be designed to deploy on anything, including internal servers

For a SaaS app, I would look at rails due to the ecosystem and stability, but otherwise it would remain the same.
I just checked Dutch prices: googled and took the first link for diapers for newborns: 52 diapers for €7, or €5 if you buy in bulk. So that's 10-13 cents for random big chain diapers of a good brand.

Seems to be a typical price. At another chain, I get the same prices for another brand. Looking for the biggest A brand, I find 72 diapers for €15, which is a bit more expensive, but still less than 25 cents (though eurocents are worth a bit more than dollar cents, of course).
I'll choose 4 every time: pay for services I find valuable with real money and use an ad blocker otherwise.

It seems that many of these mining extensions are obvious scams anyway, an other commenter in this thread gave this as an example: https://getcryptotab.com/en/

It's an obvious pyramid scheme. Even if you wanted to mine Monero in your web browser (not exactly the most efficient way I'd wager) why would you share the benefits with some random third party instead of directly joining an open pool?

If you want a laugh I suggest looking at their calculator that (with the default values) tells you that you're going to win $40k if you manage to enroll 10 million people underneath you. Good luck!

This particular extension is the first result when you search "bitcoin" in the Chrome Web Store, with close to 20k ratings (all absolutely genuine I'm sure).

Websites that actually use mining as an alternative to ads don't use extensions in my experience, they simply load a Javascript/wasm miner à la coinhive.
