It doesn’t seem like a good use of eminent domain to build a slower and less capable transportation network when airline service is already ubiquitous. “I prefer to spend more for a slower journey because I like trains” is a weak justification for the use of such an invasive power.
A little bit of both, really.

If Telus didn't have a misconfigured SPF record that caused host_check() to inadvertently (always?) return "pass", Gmail likely would have classified the messages as spam and the spammers probably would've quickly gave up.

On the other hand, one could reasonably argue that Gmail -- with all of their advanced algorithms and such -- should have been able to easily determine that these messages were "forged" (the absence of a valid DKIM-Signature: should have been a giant red flag, for example) and reject them, ideally, at SMTP time or, at minimum, immediately dump them into a user's folder. Likewise, a more restrictive DMARC policy (i.e., "p=reject") than what Gmail currently has ("p=none") would also have caused these messages to be rejected (although DMARC can potentially introduce other issues or unintended side effects).

Alternatively, you could blame it on the spammers.
Even if I did use the phrase "may have helped popularize cycling", it would be wrong. He definitely did and I don't think it's scope was limited to America.
Is it bad to completely ignore this behavior? For instance, something like:

Dog d = new Dog("fido");
d = alterDog(d);

public Dog alterDog(Dog d) {
d.name="arfybark";
return d;
}

It's not quite a pure function since it changes it in place, but at least the parameters and return types reflect the method. I ran across a term for this practice in the past but don't remember what it's called.

In the physical world, it would be like giving to the companies of everything you bought, permission to enter your house and remove or modify its products at any time. It's perfectly reasonable to stop offering a product or broadcast recall notices, but IMHO going beyond that is overstepping a boundary.
On the other side, it sounds like a job that needs to be done 24/7 and could be done remotely. Precisely the sort of thing that could employ rural America with suitable infrastructure build-out.

The greater range costs $15,000, it is mostly coming from a bigger battery (Tesla does have a modest edge on range/kW-h).

The form factor is also not a technical thing, it's the sort of thing I was trying to head off with they aren't really aimed at the same market segments. I think it is fair to say that the Model 3 is the more desired car, but that's not the same as demonstrating a big lead in electric platforms.
Great story. The curious part of me would love to see a video of how he codes and how fast / accurate / contextual the screen-reading software is.

That said I also believe your statements about "treatment standards for pets don't apply" is also completely wrong as the implication here would be that service animal should be treated less well than pets because they are "working", this is unbelievably ignorant and wrong on many levels.

Abusing a service animal simply because it is a service animal is wrong.
I like your sentiment but we’re talking serious company breakups in order to force it. Pretty much most industries could use some trust-busting but the political imperative (outrage) isn’t directed that way.
Calculated Risk Meaning and Using It to Get What You Want
People care enough to pay extra for cage-free chicken eggs at the supermarket. My local Safeway has about as many cage-free offerings as not. So people do care, and enough that catering to it is profitable. The question is whether they care enough to pay enough extra to significantly affect treatment of animals.

And who knows what the limit is as we grow wealthy enough to willingly pay extra to salve our souls. With enough wealth and wokeness, could we someday provide our livestock with an actually good, and perhaps even idyllic life ... before we kill and eat them?
Hmmm maybe, or maybe lab grown/produced?

Since facebook is addictive, I’ve replaced the facebook newsfeed with an extension so that I can only effectively use messenger and visit user profiles. It limits my facebook usage to only intentional things, and preserves it for the few cases where I have to use the platform for something.

I feel like Messenger is fine since it’s not a facebook exclusive feature (instant messenging).
I trust Google, but it's only because I have to. Their tools are 10x better than anything else for many cases, so you're simply doing yourself a disservice to not use them. It's not like Facebook where I can just email my friends or whatever. Google search is a fundamentally life changing technology that is untouched by any competitor.
“that if Musk had listened to the experts, he probably wouldn't have started Tesla in the first place”

Except he didn’t start Tesla, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning did. Musk soon joined, but that’s not what was implied.

I honestly expect better from Ars Technica. To me this is just more glorification of personality to god-like status. Yes he’s an impressive guy, but he’s never the only one singlehandedly making all the decisions, innovations, or executing the work.
The same arguments have been raised about making rockets, how non-states cannot make them, or how they cannot be reused.

Non-state entities have made all of the USA's rockets.

They weren't reusable because at the time they weren't cost effective. It's only recently that material sciences has reached the point where reusable rockets are potentially cheaper than single-use rockets (and even then, only after 5-6 launches).
It's an obvious measure.

It's a stop-gap if you believe automation is going handle 100% of the problems. It is how things are going to be, going forward, if you think the system is going to stop at 99%+something reliability.

Call-center employment would be fairly stressful and unpleasant but it might compensate for those made unemployed by self-driving trucks (there are 100's of thousands of truck drivers in the US).
Cage free is still factory farming, there's just no cages, but a huge big closed dark cage. I'm in no denial when I'm buying those eggs.
Agreed. The number of times that manual tests have unearthed completely unthought of situations is huge. A good QA tester will do weird and wonderful things that no developer ever thinks of doing, never mind testing for. Saying you shouldn't manually test is like saying you shouldn't shower. Sure, you can get away with it for a time, and it saves time! But eventually someone's going to point out you smell bad. Having a customer have to tell you your product is broken (smells bad), because you didn't know, because you didn't bother testing, is seriously not what you want.

Show HN: Hackathon project to browse live broadcasted videos around a country
I don't understand why people are so enamored of the distinction between "unit" tests and "integration" tests. That dichotomy has never seemed useful to me. In my mind the relevant distinction is speed. There's one fast test suite that you run before every code commit, and another slower suite that you run every night on a cloud instance or testing machine, and review the results in the morning. The fast/slow distinction is roughly comparable to the unit/integration distinction, but I don't have any problem with testing a DB interaction in the fast suite - and in fact consider it to be a good practice - if the interaction is fast enough. In general the fast suite should check as much as possible within the constraint of needing to be fast.
>> - implementation complexity: a LLVM-webassembly-toolchain along with your own GC is much harder and more work than a JS backend, and would need to have a rather good payoff to be worth investing in.

I strongly disagree. Wonder why no language(managed or unmanaged languages) designer uses this gem named JavaScript as compile target?(web stuff excluded)

It seems your whole argument revolves around the fact that JS has better support than WASM in browser. We already know this. WASM is a work in progress. It's not ready yet for prime time. This year we will get some managed languages compiled to WASM. Next year we might get GC. I believe in some distant future javascript will be compiled to wasm either by the client or by the browser itself(for backward compatibility). JavaScript is JIT-ed in the browser anyway.

A crucial difference, IMHO, is that rockets were a largely non-competitive industry, whereas the car business has been a cut-throat competition for near a century.
I will buy NUMMI cars (except Teslas) as long as possible. Those cars are pure gold!
Exactly, and it's because we, as all animals that live in groups, have a strong sense of hierarchy inside the group and our place within it. Position inside the group is a primary unit of one's perceived "value".
Yeah, I've been thinking about that too. I'm doing a lot of work in grafana with timeseries data, so how would you this kind of work and trend discovery non-visually? I guess now I'll need to experiment if you could do something by mapping the graph into an audio signal with changing pitches or something.
A bug that results in data loss is not “slight” or “small”. I’d honestly rather have an unstable beta app than a production release that doesn’t offer a proper data migration. I’m disappointed that the VLC team would rather remove their app from an app store (again) than fix an issue with their app. At least Google is trying to look out for their users.
Human brain mechanism is a mystery
The takeaway here is not that Elon/Tesla did anything “wrong”. I’m glad the article acknowledges that if Elon has listened to the experts he would not have started in the first place. And that by over-shooting Tesla may end up ahead even after the blips. Many journalists who point out the staff size disparity fail to note, unlike ARS, that Tesla outsources way less.
> 1. He followed it up with a gentler "I'm very happy for your volunteering."

"Gentler" seems like a euphemism to me. I read it instead as passive aggression which is generally considered rude and not a productive way of communicating with people.

Normal communication:

1. X makes an unreasonable demand of developer Y. "Users expect Z, you devs should always do Z."

2. Developer Y counters X's unreasonable demand with simple-to-follow reasoning: "I understand where you are coming from, but there are important technical reasons why we cannot do Z. Unless you have the time to dive into the code to understand those technical details (and perhaps even become a developer yourself in the process), you're just going to have to trust us on this point."

Benefits: clarity, positive example, trollproof.

Costs: several sentences, restraint.

Passive Aggressive Communication:

1. X makes an unreasonable demand of developer Y. "Users expect Z, you devs should always do Z."

2. Developer Y tries to "teach" X not to make unreasonable demands by making a similarly unreasonable demand. If devs should always do Z, and if current devs are too busy to do Z, then it should be so obvious that X must become a dev that Y will imply it in the response: "Thanks for volunteering!"

Benefit: brevity

Cost: confusion, consequent anger/humiliation in X that makes it harder for them to learn the ostensible lesson, troll food, negative example for future devs to follow, scary to potential devs, etc.

Edit: typo
This is still a step in the direction of being more humane, and should not be underestimated.
> The dog always seemed miserable

What does that mean?

The point of outside time for a pet is to get a ridiculous serotonin high and pee where-ever they want.

The point of outside time of a guide dog is to do work.

If you compare me while I am at work to a person who's out at a bar with friends, I probably look "miserable". That doesn't mean I'm being abused at work. It just means that animals who work for a living (me, the dog) sometimes need to tone down the hormone rush in order to do our jobs.

Does this dog look miserable when in public, or does the comparison set (all the other dogs in public) simply look like the peak of hormone high?
Eh yes and no. Many may care enough to buy these labels but not enough to do research or accept the BS of most of these labels.

Perfect! We used domains for this but the module was marked as deprecated and it stressed me out, knowing that we depend on a deprecated concept that will be removed soon.

Now all I need to do is to abstract domain usage so when the time cones I can switch to Zones.
no worries - thanks. I'm sometimes deeply aware and involved in it, then move on to other areas, and don't have to think about it for a while. the apparent moves to nginx/fpm in the php as a 'default' for many situations has, I admit, perplexed me a bit - my muscle memory has not adapted to newer ways of dealing with this approach.

So many of the problems in WP stem from the extreme 'hackability' from the early days, and a resistance to push for more security by default (the lack of ability to even attempt to install updates via ssh is, imo, a good example).

If you've been keeping up with such things, then you know that there is currently a move to shut down many coal and nuclear plants, much of which is due to the economics of natural gas, but also due to environmental concerns. However, in parts of the U.S. there is also a movement to prevent the building of natural gas plants and the pipelines that feed them, again due to environmental concerns. If this path continues, then parts of U.S. may soon find themselves unable to provide adequate heat and power during the cold of winter, which will no doubt lead to many deaths. The Trump administration is currently working to prevent something like this from happening, yet is taking significant heat for that.

I'm glad this is brought up. ever since I left Google my parents no longer have much to brag about when taking to relatives about me. I got to spend a year doing stuff I was passionate about without having to defend my decisions to anybody and it was so liberating. Life is much more fun when you are not in the spot light, you can pretty much do whatever you want.

In my time off, I built a few profitable projects and gave away CEO title to my friends. I write blog posts anonymously so my name is never associated with anything. It was a pretty big mindset shift, but it's been pretty good so far

> So you’d ask, what about reusable milk cans or kegs to supply cafes? Again. No.

Every time I go to a coffeehouse I see that, even in the biggest chains, baristas serve milks (animal/plant based) from normal bottles. I have always wondered why is that: aside of how wasteful it is, isn't it also more expensive?
Google knows far more about me than Facebook. But their product is not premised on my genuine identity, or the sharing of my social graph with apps.

Google has been pretty good at preserving the illusion of "anonymous browsing".
The key here is the reccomendation engine. Is an automatically-generated reccomendation an endorsement?

If someone is watching "non-extreme" material and suddenly gets a conspiracy, far right, or propaganda video suggested to them, what responsibility does Google have for that reccomendation? To what extent is it possible for people to "self radicalise" from Youtube?

(I've experienced this myself; an innocuous gaming video had a column of reccomended videos all relating to the same game .. and a livestream of Tommy Robinson. Why? Is Google radicalising gamers accidentally?)
>Their tools are 10x better than anything else for many cases, so you're simply doing yourself a disservice to not use them.

Two related quotes[0]:

The human body has no more need for cows' milk than it does for dogs' milk, horses' milk, or giraffes' milk.

The very saddest sound in all my memory was burned into my awareness at age five on my uncle's dairy farm in Wisconsin. A cow had given birth to a beautiful male calf. The mother was allowed to nurse her calf but for a single night. On the second day after birth, my uncle took the calf from the mother and placed him in the veal pen in the barn—only ten yards away, in plain view of the mother. The mother cow could see her infant, smell him, hear him, but could not touch him, comfort him, or nurse him. The heartrending bellows that she poured forth—minute after minute, hour after hour, for five long days—were excruciating to listen to. They are the most poignant and painful auditory memories I carry in my brain. Since that age, whenever I hear anyone postulate that animals cannot really feel emotions, I need only to replay that torturous sound in my memory of that mother cow crying her bovine heart out to her infant. Mother's love knows no species barriers...

The human brain has over 100 trillion synapses, which is somewhat analogous to storage or memory (in both senses). Some estimates for the storage capacity of the brain are as low as a terabyte. Others are an order of magnitude or two higher.

Being electrochemical, the brain is “slow” compared to a computer (around 10hz). But it’s massively parallel and an interesting combination of digital and analogue.
