> imposes large costs on the current residents and home owners

You mean, imposes large costs on landlords and home owners. Residents are made better off if they're renters.
Your indoor positioning applications would require the installation of numerous positioning beacons--or in other words, significantly more hardware than the many thousands of speed signals they have already installed and are unable to maintain.
Also, hold those developers responsible for fulfilling their obligations.

I am, perhaps, a bit of NIMBY. I'm willing to accept that some of my concerns are not in the public interest. I don't want an apartment building in my neighborhood because of the impacts on street parking, traffic, noise, etc. All of those things negatively affect me, and so I take a lot of convincing.

But another issue is that developers have a history of claiming they will ameliorate these issues by improving infrastructure, such as adding underground parking, upgrading sewers, building sound barriers, etc and then do not. Or they exploit loopholes to avoid their obligations. An example where I live is that new developments are required to have sidewalks. Developers simply tell homeowners they are required to build the sidewalk within 2 years which, of course, doesn't happen. 5 years later, the city goes in an builds them and applies specials to the home and everyone is unhappy except the developer, who walked away from the project long ago.

Sometimes its seems that cities are so beholden to developers that they can get away with anything.

> But I would suspect that they see history as pointing to centralized architectures as significantly more vulnerable to being corrupted/controlled.

But unless there is a workable decentralized alternative the point is moot.

I don't see any good reason to avoid using Wikipedia just because it is centralized. I don't see any good reason for Snowden to have avoided using Lavabit (nor its other 400,000 users). Again, I'd speculate that anarchists who aren't technically-minded would probably agree by their actions.

Moreover, well-designed, stable decentralized alternatives like git seem to have no problem overtaking their centralized counterparts. So what is the use of equating "centralized" with "bad?"
I belive Xi would do the same.
Increase is home value is not always desirable, especially if you are tight securing a mortgage. With higher interest rate, this is going to be a no-no real soon.
Sure! The difficulty is supposed to adjust approximately every two weeks, and it readjusts based on how quickly blocks were found after the previous readjustment. The target is for blocks to take an average of 10 minutes.

The trick is that the difficulty adjustment time is not actually measured in weeks (or seconds), but in blocks. Since blocks are supposed to take 10 minutes, the difficulty readjusts every 2016 blocks. It looks at the time needed to complete the last 2016 blocks, and readjusts so that the next 2016 blocks will take two weeks at that rate.

If the hash rate is steady, then that readjustment will happen close to the two-week mark, and of course it will do very little because the rate is steady.

If the hash rate is increasing, then the period becomes smaller. As a simplified example, consider what happens if the hash rate is constant for the first week of an adjustment period, and then doubles. The first 1008 blocks took a week. The next 1008 blocks will take about 3.5 days. The next readjustment will therefore happen after about 10.5 days, not 14 days. The real Bitcoin network looks a little bit like this: over its lifetime, the actual difficulty readjustment period has averaged 13.17 days, not 14 days, because of the steadily increasing hash rate.

Now consider the opposite case, where the hash rate is cut in half after a week. The second batch of 1008 blocks will take two weeks, for a total of three weeks.

Worse, consider a case where the hash rate is cut in half every week. You'll (probably) never reach the next difficulty readjustment, and blocks will take longer and longer to mine until they're taking days or weeks instead of just 10 minutes. You could get into a spiral where a single event that significantly cuts the hash rate results in the network becoming much slower and less useful, so people use it less, so miners earn less, so they drop out and the hash rate drops further, etc.

It's hard to say just how the real-world hash rate would change in response to a catastrophe, of course. Maybe that sort of shock wouldn't happen. But this is the general idea of why Bitcoin could run into trouble due to a quick but not quite immediately apocalyptic decrease in the hash rate.

Perhaps it's a trust thing? It only works if you're 100% sure that a snoozed email will come back every time and no later than you told it to. Is it reasonable to trust Inbox to do that? Probably, but people have to be convinced of that. And note that for some of us, trusting the magical AI-enhanced black box that Google tends to build is a little on the hard side.
What I'm trying to tell you is, and I believe the legal and HR "reality" back me up on this, that the vast majority of friendships struck up in the workplace do not lead to legal or HR headaches. Certainly this has been my experience, and nothing has changed in the past few years to make me change my mind. The people who should be afraid, and I'm glad if they now are, are the people who do regularly get up to, or cross, the line into inappropriate behavior.

I say you are letting your fear of sensationalized stories, and/or general fear of the Other, lead you astray.

You know Rust has null too, right? https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ptr/fn.null.html

Rust has both references (which can't be null†) and pointers (which can be null, but can only be dereferenced within "unsafe" blocks or functions).

† Actually, they sort of can: an Option<&T> takes the same space as a &T, with the None variant of the Option being represented as a null behind the covers.
I doubt that the locations for prospective real estate developments are fungible enough to make the plans and conditions applicable to each interchangeable.

Remember that the things that are said to matter the most in real estate are "location, location, and location".

https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/28/magazine/28FOB-onlanguage...

Housing developments and their costs of construction and their suitability for a particular site and their aesthetic appeal to an area and the demand curve that they face there and their utility connection options and the other regulations that they will be subject to apart from permit approval are all different in different places, so a developer's level enthusiasm for building a particular project in one city or another, or one neighborhood or another, is very unlikely to be exactly transferable...

You might say that the auction mechanism would nonetheless take account of this because the developer would only bid amounts that would lead to profitability literally anywhere, but I don't think such amounts exist. ("Cool, the 50-story apartment building concept has been approved for construction on a vacant lot with no existing utility connections 5 km from the nearest other building and 30 km from the nearest bus stop! Let's go build it!")
So you like a socialist bullet to your head more than a fascist one?

This makes no sense. China was always going to develop more stuff locally and the US influence in the IT space was always going to decline. It's just a fact when you have a country as big as China rising in prominence and strength you will see declines elsewhere.

But when it comes to consumer products the US still has an innate understanding of how to build products for the world. And China may be great at building and duplicating but they haven't yet demonstrated how to do this from scratch.

My understanding is that for the study of ethics, morality is absolute in that there is an absolute answer, even if we don't know what that answer is.

If there were no absolute answer, then ethics as a field can't exist.

But that seems a bit tautological to me. Moral absolutism stood on more solid ground at a time when the world was smaller and more religious.
Is this a net financial win?

Presumably, homeowners have been doing the math and adding solar panels if it is a net financial win. Now, homeowners are required to do it whether or not it's a net financial win.

ie. the new solar installations either don't make economic sense, or it made sense all along, but homeowners were too stupid to do the math.
Chipmaking may go inhouse within national borders, but how many companies make Semiconductor Capital Equipment? That's an even more concentrated industry than the chip industry itself. The top 10 companies in the industry represent 90% of the market share by revenue, and 9 out of 10 are based in the US or Japan. (1 is Dutch) The trend would dictate further export controls upstream.

If development in the area is a bad thing, then it's definitely NOT being imposed on the landlord.

If development in the area is a good thing, then the value accrues to the property, which benefits the landlord, leading to increased rents. The renter has to decide if the benefits from the development are worth the increased rent, and this will vary by person.
Yeah, I think the React Native implementations being intra-process has only been a function of mobile OS's sandboxing requirements. A macOS / Windows / Linux application can feel free to separate the processes, which I agree does sound nicer on the surface.

I think the risk for a business is that when the rates get too high, shadow banking just takes over. Which it will, because the rates will be really high.

It’s a whole lot of work to serve 55,000 people with a GDP of $13,000 per capita. There just isn’t enough economic activity to make this work from an international bank.
Combine this sort of thing with China's increasingly aggressive military stance, and in the long term, maybe medium or short term, world trade is going to be completely reshaped.

Reliance on other countries now looks risky. If you manufacture in China, you're crazy if you don't have a backup plan for your operations being shut down as an outcome of government action on one side or the other.

A bicycle computer uses the radius of the wheel, multiplied by rotations, to determine distance traveled and uses that to back out to speed. More expensive bicycle computers use GPS to verify their measurements. This method is accurate enough for its use; it's not accurate enough to be the primary safety mechanism for trains carrying hundreds of people. For example, the difference between 15mph and 16mph on a bike is irrelevant because it doesn't trigger a response. But for an emergency breaking system, going above the threshold triggers a physical response (i.e., the emergency brakes).

On top of that, you're asking the MTA to buy hundreds of new devices and maintain those on top of the existing devices they don't have the capacity to maintain...

Somebody help me understand: does the US really try to enforce its export controls not just on our own country, but on foreign countries? Many countries trade with Iran---do we really expect to keep all our goods from making it there by way of third-parties?
That's an interesting theory, but do you have any evidence that most of these events are more political in nature than actually talking about programming and technology? Your girlfriend's one or two anecdotes aren't really sufficient to make a generalization like that.
We're talking about subways, which do not have access to GPS, and which is what EU trains use. Most of the trains in the MTA system predate the EU and a fair number of the countries that are members of the EU! The London system uses a different positional system based on location beacons built into the lines to locate trains (essentially, land-based GPS).
The problem that I have faced repeatedly in the past is whenever I try to follow a tutorial, most of the time things don't work because React/other react libraries change so frequently and articles get outdated very quickly.

Read the statement as "the only typical way to do things" or "the only safe way to do things" or "the only way to do things without using a completely different type which supports NULL". The fact that Rust has unsafe non-GC'd pointers which can be NULL or otherwise invalid puts it in the same camp as Haskell, Go, C#, etc. but in Rust you are more likely to use references which can't be NULL.
Because they're not using proper methodologies to validate that there has been a change.

Science based on feelings is pseudoscience and should be treated as such.
I disagree with the author here, and while I admit that Null failures are a pain, it's not true to say they don't exist in other languages. "Maybe" and "Option" etc may force you to deal with them before they will compile, but that's not the same thing as saying the concept of Null does not exist in those languages. I'm sure there are some languages out there without any concept of Null, but they would have their own shortcomings for the lack of it.

It's also wrong to suggest that Null has no place in "logic". Boolean logic is one type of logic, but it's not the only type.

Finally, the examples of how Null works in various languages are really poor. "Why doesn't Ruby coerce nil into zero?" Because it doesn't coerce any types implicitly. Why should nil be the exception? How is that expectation "logical"?

Your answer is 99% techno-marketing bullshit, but you still delivered the kernel of a credible explanation: systemd.

It makes perfect sense now. cri-o, being "daemonless", reinforces the central role of systemd in orchestrating system resources, whereas containerd, being a daemon, weakens it. I can see how Red Hat architects would not love the idea, given the importance of systemd in the RHEL/Openshift stack.

>I mean, even your own criticism is that the dashcam video being released prematurely caused the public at large to reach inaccurate conclusions.

That is correct.

>BTW, the comment you linked to seems pretty representative of the general response to the video: "yes it looks dark, but Lidar should've seen her"

LIDAR is the red herring here. The less crappy camera would have seen her. The naked eye would have seen her. Pretty much anything but that dashcam would. Even the dashcam, perhaps, if it was set to higher exposure.

And that was someone who knows about LIDAR talking - most of people don't know what a LIDAR is. And so a lot of people really accepted the "it was dark" line of reasoning, never stopping to think that it would simply imply that Uber was driving beyond its headlights.

>I was under the impression this was by request from NTSB... Investigations take time.

Right, that's where "cutting Uber some slack" comes in. It can't feasibly take 50 days to come to the following conclusion: "we screwed up here, the pedestrian clearly shows up on vehicle cameras/sensors the moment she steps into the roadway" - which seems to be the case here (again, even now, we can't say that for sure!).

I can't blame Uber for not admitting fault - it's in their interest to do so. I do blame the city and the general public for letting Uber get away with that, and creating an overall victim-blaming sentiment (which was there from day 1 - including searching the public records of the victim).
No, it really wouldn't.

They already have all the staff and the tech. They just need to rebrand, and since the new company won't be ZTE, they'll just start buying American components again.

Replace all ZTE ads with ads for the new company, and never explicitly say that this is the rebirth of ZTE, while still making it very obvious to the consumer.

This will all be a blip on the radar.

For those who remember the TechTV/G4 merger - remember when The Screen Savers was "cancelled" and then a "new show" called Attack of the Show started airing in the exact same timeslot, with the exact same people, on the exact same set - but the branding was different?

That's what the Chinese government is going to do to ZTE and all its assets.
