I feel like this is the key distinction. I strongly prefer riding on roads, even when other people think it looks unsafe, for the simple reason that people on the road (generally) follow rules. You can, within reason, tell well in advance what someone is about to do.

I feel much safer in an environment where there are clear rules of engagement that are, by and large, respected.

(Anecdote: my most recent crash was with a scooter, the rider of which was very inexperienced in traffic and reacted to a tight spot by doing exactly the opposite of what they teach you in driver's ed. Feel free to guess whether this was on the road or on a bike path...)
I was confused about this, too. It's illegal here (unless the sidewalk has an inset bike lane, but they're usually inset to the road instead). You see it occasionally, but I certainly wouldn't expect the people doing it to be so self-righteous about breaking the law.
No, this will not reduce human population to the extent to meaningfully influence climate change, and definitely not fast enough. If education, better healthcare, better access to birth control would reduce every place to a below-replacement rate such as Japan, it would still not make any large difference within this century.

If you're talking about reducing population as a means of affecting climate change, then this means a larger/quicker decrease in population than what can be possible with reasonable means; if we'd somehow decide that we'd have to get to, say, 4 billion or below by 2100, then that requires either drastic reductions in reproduction or mass slaughter.
> This is largely theoretical now, as there's a single bit difference in definition (or implementation) of a NAT. (Leaves unknown untouched, or drops them.)

So ... any distinction between two different things is a single-bit difference and therefore largely theoretical? I am not sure I follow ...

> But you are right, that thinking of a NAT as a pure transformer that cannot drop packets results in a better model.

Which is the important point, in particular in this context where the common argument essentially is "because I consider dropping packets a function of a NAT, NAT is good to have", where the whole argument only hinges on the definition, not on any real-world facts about network devices.

> Is that even possible? I mean, sure, get a PC with 2 NICs and use raw sockets, but with a simple off the shelf network gadget?

I don't know, I have never investigated that, as I don't tend to use off the shelf network gadgets. However, there is no need to use raw sockets, just install Linux and use the kernel's netfilter, which behaves in exactly that way: If you only configure NAT rules but no filtering rules to prevent inbound connections, your LAN is wide open. And that is not bad design, that is the obvious way to implement this as a matter of separating concerns.

Now, Linux is (was?) a popular OS for off the shelf home routers, and some of them at some point even use(d?) netfilter for their NAT. If you consider what kinds of completely moronic security holes have been and still are being found in those kinds of devices (shell injection in the web interface, trivial buffer overflows, backdoors with hard-coded passwords, ...), that does not make me particularly optimistic that they are careful when putting together the actual network setup on those devices. Not configuring the filtering of inbound connections is exactly the kind of mistake that I would expect to happen in an environment that produces that kind of garbage: Unless you are competent and do invest in quality assurance, that is exactly the kind of problem that noone will notice, as it does not affect day-to-day operation, and noone in the target market will notice if you screw it up because even the supposed experts think that the NAT implies that they are safe.

I suspect other network stacks or even ASICs have similar separation of concerns in order to be usable for a broader market than "home routers", so I suspect you can make the same mistake on other platforms used for implementing home routers.

So, do I know that there are devices out there that do NAT but don't filter? No. Would I be surprised if there were? No, definitely not.

However, if you do away with NAT, that makes it much more likely that a home router lacking a filter wouldn't go unnoticed for long, because it's trivial to check whether it does filter or not. So, it's not only that NAT does not logically imply a firewall and that a firewall does not necessitate NAT, but that not having a NAT makes it actually more likely that your device does in fact have a firewall.

> All the same, Asbury avers that genetic assessment will only ever be an accessory to, and not a replacement for, existing methods of teaching and evaluation.

Now it is easy to measure GPS and given that it will get easier in the future we'll probably see less standardized testing. I wonder if in optimizing for GPS we might fall afoul of Goodhart's Law.

Someone things worries me is, if we tell children that 50% of the probability of their educational success is "determined" by their genes they will behave differently.

The main reasons to use a CMS have nothing to do with user interactivity. It’s about content sharing and reuse between pages. Interlinking of Pages. Site wide configurability.

Yes some small companies and personal web pages could be replaced by static HTML with minimal inconvenience.

But most companies benefit greatly from a CMS.

How about instead of telling users not to use a CMS, the CMS developers start listening to the security concerns that have been brought up to them again and again for the last 20 years.

Only true in some cultures or over some very high range of IQ. Income correlates highly with IQ from a normal low to a normal high range and income correlates with reproductive success in male.
I would recommend going to university and doing that Masters in CS. Mind you, it could be a pretty steep learning curve not having done any undergraduate work.

My rationale is simply that as a self-taught coder, you are unlikely to have a solid grasp of the fundamentals. It is the fundamentals that will support your work in the long term. As you hare discovered coding is only a small part of the total knowledge required to be a competent software engineer (and I use that term deliberately).

The complex stuff that you would like to work on will, sooner or later, require more than programming knowledge. In the long term your additional education will make you far better prepared to handle the intricacies of your intended work.

In closing, it is rather like the distinction between a pharmacist and a general practitioner. They both know the names hundreds of pharmaceutical products. But only the GP is qualified to correctly diagnose the patient's condition and thus optimal prescription(s). In simple cases the pharmacist could probably make a diagnosis and supply the correct drug, but it might not be based on the same thorough examination and diagnosis that the GP would make. In complex cases the latter approach could have adverse effects. Fortunately in medicine there is a protocol that avoids such problems. In programming there are no such protections.
Not really, no? There's a lot of things that IQ predicts; we just take them for granted as just 'being smart'.

You'll find a lot more high-iq than low-iq people at top jobs, for example. I'd be very surprised to meet a google/facebook/amazon/etc senior developer with IQ of 85 or less; and while those companies are big enough that maybe some such people exist, it's immediately obvious that iq correlates with success at such jobs.
While population development historically is exponential, looking at current societies all over the world indicate that there are ways to significantly reduce the growth: economic development, women's rights and education.

In particular, population growth slows down where it matters, i.e. for those people that have the biggest carbon footprint.
Have a company-provided MacBook Pro 2017 here.

Aside from being much better to develop in than Windows (iTerm2 is a dream, even compared to CygWin/ConEmu) a few things seem really shitty;

1) The keyboard. It's bad. Really bad. The space key on mine is starting to stick already and its only been a few months. I'm using a cheap Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard with the keys remapped to OS X defaults.

2) Mouse handling. I have no idea what is going on over at Apple but mouse code has been awful for as long as I can remember and the Magic Mouse we were given with these laptops are probably the most unergonomic device I've ever used. They are really terrible.

I'm using a wireless Logitech mouse which is much better, but there are crasy OS issues with sensitivity/acceleration that no matter how much configuring and tweakingf I do, never feels right.

3) The last OS X update seems to have caused a LOT of issues for people using certain models of external display adapters. I've basically lost a 1/3 of my screen space because I can only get one external monitor to work at a time since the machine updated to 10.13.4.
This. I am a person prone to bipolar disorder and it made a huge improvement for me.

You can also add a natural anti-depressant (coffee, red bull) at the morning and depressant (milk, yogurt) at the evening to the mix.

Another advice is to avoid working with Flux / Night Shift at the evenings. This sends conflicting signals to the brain: warm screen light asks for relax but the need to work asks for concentration and focus. This does not go well together.

But you totally can watch an entertaining/scientific YouTube channels with Flux / Night Shift on at the evening. It will gradually drag you to a very good sleep. The good thing it is repeatable, so you can follow this deeply satisfying pattern everyday.

EDIT: Bipolar disorder, not bistable disorder.

When sleep schedule is completely broken, 20mn sport just after wake up in the morning is a good way to fix it. Normally, 10 days of regular schedule with sport in the morning is enough. You can stop sport after if you do not like it.
As stated in the article, low delay is very hard to achieve over a reliable transport based on re-transmissions (such as TCP) - you have to wait for the loss to be detected and then the retransmitted packet to arrive. This is at least 3 x the latency of the link. Therefore if you really care about bounded low latency you need to use some form of erasure correcting algorithm (to provide upfront redundancy).

In the article we simply show that substituting one "old" algorithm for a more modern one can give you much better efficiency (protection against packet loss) for the same bandwidth and latency/delay budget.
At the time it was considered, but the randomness in the packs was considered a 'sales tactic', not gambling. (I'm not sure wether Carta Mundi, the printer for a.o Magic the Gathering being a Belgian company had anything to do with it). Loot boxes otoh are compared to slot machines.

I know it sounds 'illogical', as they both at first glance seem alike, but there are aspects of difference to consider.
Loot boxes are generally packaged with 'addiction triggering' opening ceremonies. Furthermore, the probabilities are not publishes (afaik they are for trading card games), and the digital platform also enables for far more ingenious addiction/purchase/retention inducing psychological gaming than physical card packs.
Stop guessing, SQL joins explained
2.3 is approximately the replacement rate, it's stopping growth but not reducing the population. With zero growth we'd still be as much a cause of climate change as we are now; a Japan-like population decrease (if achieved everywhere) might cause a meaningful decrease in multiple centuries, but we don't have multiple centuries.

Voluntary control of reproduction is a nice thing, but it won't achieve population reduction, it will only stop/limit growth.

It's important to note that there's a distinct difference between virtual and physical loot box systems. I've seen collecting MtG cards turn into quite considerable theft, but virtual systems are worse, because

* there's no physical item involved

* the distribution in virtual systems can be changed to the customer's disadvantage

When a kid buys 30 card packs in a store, people notice. Also, holding 30 packs in your hands is very different from opening 30 virtual loot boxes, because the packs and contents don't just disappear into some virtual table.

And then, you can be sure that the distribution of cards has been decided before the packs have been put in the store and not changed on the fly to prey on the customer's addiction and make them buy even more.

Physical loot box systems are still addictive and borderline gambling, but the limits are much more defined.
It is unfortunate that you have been down-voted. It seems that thinking is a luxury these days. Prohibition supposedly works even though a pile of empirical evidence suggests otherwise, and the Government supposedly has good intentions. All they have to do is claim it's (whatever the heck they want) for the safety of you, your kids, and vulnerable people, and they can do virtually anything. They are doing just exactly that. It's OK though, in this case they give you the illusion of safety at the cost of other people without said other people even realizing it, and you can shift the blame: you no longer have to admit to yourself that you are a horrible parent and keep continuing the terrible parenting.

I wonder if the same people who have down-voted you and I also spoke out against Facebook and its anti-privacy issues.

EDIT: my friend just bought a bag of chips assuming it will taste good but it really doesn't. I guess if he's not allowed to taste it before buying, then it's gambling! Did you know that eating chips could contribute to numerous health and financial issues? Ban chips effective immediately! Think about the children!

How do you know when to go to bed when idling on a device? There is just endless streams of crud to browse, code to write or whatever. Do you need to have a "bed time" or you just end up feeling tired?

What I've noticed about eliminating (most) device use after 7pm is that I'm actually pretty excited to go to sleep around 9:30-10pm because I just end up feeling tired. When I was browsing, consuming social media etc, I just didn't really know when to stop.
I did the same thing. It got to the point where I had to set it to about 5 snoozes of 3 hard math problems then a final 5 problem set.

It worked for a few months, but eventually I began just hard powering down the phone and falling back asleep for hours.

What exactly can genetics determine that can't be determined by direct tests of ability? I can understand that genetic tests of intelligence are relevant to the debate about eugenics, since genetic tests could be done in advance and used to determine which children get born.

But by the time the child comes to be educated, it seems that you could get the same information more accurately by directly testing the child's ability. You don't need to test the genetics, because you have access to the actual child. Genetic tests could give us a measure of how well a child will do in life, but in fact we already have this measure just by looking at their schoolwork. The genetics don't add anything.

I think the brunt of the "Tesla Autopilot Deaths" problem is not the tech, but the marketing department (which has to include Elon Musk of course). This "kind of autonomous driving" is absolutely deadly, by definition. It's never going to work well. "The car will drive by itself, until it can't. So don't pay any attention, until you need to save your own life. We'll give you 2 seconds warning". I mean, really? I don't know why Tesla could possibly think this is a good idea. By extension, anyone who actually uses or trusts autopilot is basically forfeiting their life. I think it is cognitively harder to use autopilot and pay attention, than to simply drive safely.

As far as the tech goes, I am in agreement with Elon. I think LiDAR is a short term advantage, but the companies/stacks depending on LiDAR will reach a local maximum from which they won't recover without totally starting again from scratch. LiDAR is short range, low resolution, and extremely expensive. There is no reason that visible light (+ IR) CMOS cameras can't do better by an order of magnitude, at a lower cost.
We'll never see this requirement in USA because it would be proof salient to everyone of how much more dangerous driving is than cycling.
