The story is still unfolding - but I still love how transparent and informative they have been with timely updates.
if anyone tried the same stuff many of us got away with in the early 2000s (or 90s), then the punishment would be much much stricter.

It always amazes me that the person who effectively opens an unlocked door gets the book thrown at them while the people who left it unlocked get off scot-free.
The World’s Best Message Broker Is Now Free. Here’s Why I Made the Decision
Frankly, it's not your car, no matter how much money you forked over for it.

And, if you have a Tesla, you can verify this by disabling its ability to talk to Tesla. After some period of time, your car will no longer run.

Or you can crash it, get it fixed by a non-Tesla service provider, and watch it also fail to run. Not because of a mechanical failure or even a software failure, but because Tesla hasn't OKed it to run.

I'm curious about what happens if/when Tesla goes out of business. What happens to all those Model S and Model 3's out there - do they get OTA patched to no longer phone home, does the data coming out of the Tesla flip over to whoever purchases that capability from Tesla, or do they all just stop? It will be interesting to see.

The most extraordinary claim is that we are here by 'chance' or a happy 'accident' rather than a supreme being putting us here.
A new above ground track comes nowhere near the cost of updating a subway system below an extremely dense metropolis that will attempt to keep running 24/7/365?

Not much of a shocker there. That’s a true apples to oranges.

It is true that corruption has resulted in exorbitant cost over runs by the MTA but I think this is a silly comparison.

My local Mariano's (a Chicago/Milwaukee chain now owned by Kroger's) was trying just this the other week. They had some kits (maybe they were HomeKits) in a cooler in the deli section. Maybe it was a test.
I agree with Bill Gates' description of platforms as companies which provide tools which are used by other entities to generate more economic value than the value of the owners of those tools. How you measure said economic value is another story and one I am grappling with. And I think social media companies are ultimately aggregators, not platforms. What I think should come out of any regulation is an obligation for aggregators at a certain scale to 1) stop calling themselves neutral platforms, because that's not accurate, 2) be required to disclose in verifiable, auditable detail how they are prioritizing content from an algorithmic perspective, how they are compensating generators of both paid and organic content from a both monetary and "in app currency" perspective (likes, etc), and 3) when they do exercise their editorial judgment and kick 3rd party apps off their APIs, explain how and why they came to such a judgment, not in a storytelling kind of way, but in a parametric (they hit this number, so we took action) kind of way. And if there is a human in the loop, that human needs to have certain competencies, which would resemble professionalism like that of lawyers and doctors. These three requirements would have to be agreed upon like international standards of a sort. Now, I am aware that everything I am requesting is also likely to be infected by 'bureacracy' and that is something I'm not sure I have a way to solve for.
Back in the late 1800s, city planners met to try to come up with some plan for dealing with "the manure problem". Large cities couldn't handle the amount of manure produced by the horses in the city. They ended the meeting early, because they couldn't come up with any sort of plan.

Then cars came along and they were all like "Yay! The pollution problem is solved!"

I too wonder what the impact of so many lithium batteries is going to be. I mean, I know they are saying that they are extremely recyclable, and I hope that's true. But I wonder what the unintended consequences of this switch is going to be.

What's your theory about why so many seem to be doing such a bad job meeting the letter and spirit of the law? Are they consulting with lawyers or other legal experts and bending over backwards to do the best they can given the advice they're given? Or are they maliciously flouting the obvious requirements as part of a concerted, and possibly coordinated, effort to undermine the law?

Do you seriously think Philip Cross is an actual individual ? Personally I think it a plainly obvious that it is well organised, probably well funded PR operation. Which is perfectly fine by me (I'm certainly not as naive as to think that such things are not happening for years).

A high cost of living is a market signal that "too many" people live there.

If unemployment/basic income adjusts for cost of living, you wind up with a positive feedback loop that ignores these messages.
Do you think I don't know that as a well paid software developer, the interests of a bank CEO making $600 million a year plus many times that in stock is not necessarily aligned with my own? Of course I do.

But clarity is important. I have more in common with the business owner who could stop working but chooses not to than I do with the line cook making $10/hr, even if the financial interests of the business owner are diametrically opposed to my own (I'm not conceding that point, mind you).

I don't understand what is so problematic about understanding there are drastically different economic classes in society. Understanding where those boundaries lie and the differences between them leads to greater clarity in the issues facing all classes.
Good, I like most of what Musk did, but always had issues with bringing semi capable drive assist that clearly made some accident possible. Not causing it, enabling irresponsible behavior and coating their product with glitter in the same time. I don't think it's right for companies to sell that sort of things.
> Writing an entire language and ecosystem just for a game is insane

Don't think so. It was actually a series of games and critics generally like the game engine aspects. Naugthy Dog developed for new platforms and their games were written to show off the capabilities of the platforms. Since there were no off-the-shelf game development systems like that - where one could develop inside a running game on prototype hardware - they developed their own. At that time there was a lot more Lisp education and they had their computer science education from MIT.

Looks like the GOAL/GOOL runtimes and dev environments worked very well, created well received games and they sold a lot of them. Naughty Dog used Allegro Common Lisp on the development environment side and their own Scheme-based runtime on the game hardware.

Later when they were bought by Sony, they switched to C++ to be able to share code inside Sony - which then seemed to be problematic and they returned to Scheme for some stuff:

Ok, I am very depressed person and I do not have motivation. All the comments are very insightful, great and true.

I checked your http://schuwing.com website and want to tell you it is really great what you have built.

Now Advice: Forgot about all the expectation you have about money, payment model, people will like it or not.

Think about positive side of it. Check your website again and see what the great thing you have built. How much you have learned during process. Can you mention it on your resume? Can you talk with passion about this? After two years when you see this Is it not making you great or felt yes I have achieved something?

If yes than do not fear and push the release button. Forgot all about you negative thoughts. Loose your expectation if someone will buy or not. Continuously improve it.
The phone and note handling were amazing demos of what multitasking really offered. At the time it was still the domain of IBM's Top View and similar character-based pseudo mutitasking extensions to MS/DOS.

Doing a demo where the phone rang and a notepad window popped up on its own was just short of voodoo. It didn't make any sense but I always privately fantasized Bell and Control Data would decide to get married and make a Plato terminal out of 7300s.

What amazes me more than anything else is the fact I'm still UNIXing for food nearly 40 years later.

interesting presentation! i think it's interesting how they dismiss cryonics out of hand as not viable nor yielding any useful insights -- says a lot about that field's lack of scientific basis.
I think all the model of modern startup culture is suboptimal but widely spread and so considered the only possible scheme by literally everyone. Couldn't we imagine the case when not enterpreneur dictates 'what to build' to developer, but exact opposite of that? Developer knows what he is going to build, and just hires marketing-minded guy for legwork wrt funding, marketing, and other extrovertial stuff - for the same little wage and stock options as it's done usually.

> But I maintain that the idea that the industry would collude to not make cures is wrong.

Why would you need to collude to make a decision like that? Everyone in that industry makes the same sort of analysis, I imagine. "How many doses of this will we sell, how much will they cost to make, and how much will we be able to charge for them?"

If the equation indicates you'll lose money, exactly why wouldn't you just move on, assuming you're a for-profit business? You can always lobby for government or philanthropy or something to pay for the drug, but how many instances are there of a company just saying we're gonna lose at least a billion on this thing but it will be great and help a lot of people?

Pointer events integrate inputs from mice, touchscreens, and pens, making separate implementations no longer necessary and authoring for cross-device pointers easier. The one input API to rule them all!

Except... of course Pointer Events doesn't work in Safari. Safari doesn't even support the regular mouse event "buttons" property which has been in the specs forever, which is a constant source of Safari specific bugs in my experience. Nothing happens when you click? Oh, you must be using Safari!

Why is input handling such a pain in the behind!
Going "small scale" does not solve the heat problem unfortunately. If it does then the authors did not mention it. All they mentioned is how large scale plants deal with the problem.

> The trouble had started in 1986, when General Motors announced it would close seven plants in the area, starting a depression.Thousands of workers were laid off, and families began to flee the area in search of jobs. In 1987, Money magazine had named Flint the worst place to live in America. Now, dealers were at large, peddling cocaine, marijuana, LSD, and prescription pills.

Seems to me that those laid-off workers found other employment, and the police then spent their time jailing them for working hard to survive.

> But inside one of the arrested suspect’s cars, police found a young boy. Wasylyshyn called on Williams who carried the boy to a police car and told him everything would be okay. “He was part of this so-called victimless crime,” Williams told me.

The ones who victimised that boy were the ones who took him from his parents and locked the latter up!

> The end take for the cops included several motor vehicles, vanloads of suspects, and, crucially, over $100,000 in cash from the reverse buys.

How is this different from highway robbery? If gangsters stole a large amount of property & money from hard-working businessmen, I doubt that the Atlantic would celebrate it.

Remote (yes, no, how often).

Salary. Over here in .be, it's very difficult to compare salaries. When posted at all, it's usually a single monthly number before tax. It's impossible to compare that with other postings, because one offer might contain a better pension fund, or a company car (what kind?) or meal vouchers (worth?) and dozens of other potential forms of non-cash wages. I'd much rather see an annual number which includes the net worth (or employer cost?) of all that nonsense.

You're conflating control over personal data with one of the purposes for doing so, i.e., the presentation of ads. That is by far not what privacy or data protection is limited to.

Not to mention that blocking or hiding ads or trackers is not the same as preventing the collection of personal information. Unless you avoid visiting a service entirely, depending on the implementation you may not be able to inhibit any of it.
Ah, this actually seems okay to me. My web browser use is often opening several tabs in the background while I read the one I am on. A four minute delay for the background ones sounds fine (if I'm on my way to mars, that is. For my home connection obviously this would be awful).
I have no less than seventeen different point releases of lodash buried in my node_modules directory for one project. That's completely insane, but every plugin we use for something has it's own massive tree of dependencies, which have their own dependencies, ad absurdum, until I've got paths too long for Windows to be able to delete down in there.

Not to even get into the clusterfuck that is semver and how the default behavior with npm isn't to pin to a specific version of a package. It's bitten me in the ass several times lately because some dependency of ours will have a new patch version, and it completely breaks everything.

I'm living mostly on the back-end, .NET world. NuGet isn't great, but it's a breeze compared to fighting with JS-land. Packages are kept to a reasonable size, rather than fragmenting into micropackages, references only update when you tell them to, and stability is valued. Of course, you've also actually got a standard library, so you don't have to rely on third-party code for basic functionality.

> Literally runs counter to everything the GDPR stands for.

If the idea is that no one should be able to avoid complying with the GDPR, even if they decide they no longer want to do business with whomever it is exactly that's covered by it, then maybe the whole thing was a bad tradeoff. I'll grant that Google and Facebook might be acting in bad faith – hell, I'll just assume they are – but surely, for some not-necessarily-insignificant number of other entities, it should be perfectly fine if they decide that the costs of compliance exceed the corresponding benefits.
I heard they will change that to $5 or $0 without usage.

Two important details:

1. Doctors don't appear to even think about lead poisoning unless you give them big fat clues like "My job is scraping lead paint off a bridge." What they don't think about, they don't ask about, just like everyone else.

2. The patients presenting with psychiatric symptoms that could be caused by lead poisoning are much more likely to be near the poverty line than a random sampling of people with stress and depression. Insurance companies are not likely to pay for lead blood tests unless they see a good reason to do so, and poor people are much less likely to have insurance in the first place.

You're again asserting thread unsafe mutations as a reason. It is not. Or if it is Kotlin is just wrong. Guarding against null in an unsafe thread race is pointless to the extreme. That didn't fix anything. It's pointless to complain about it ever. It's a wrong error in that fixing the error doesn't fix the bug in the code.

There is no possibility of any kind that my snippet is null-unsafe exclusively. My code is null-safe in all situations where the resulting behavior is also correct. And the compiler could trivially prove that.

If they wanted to actually take a stab at compiler-audited thread safety they should add some annotations or such to mark what is guarded by what. Otherwise the only reasonable assumption is to assume thread-compatible. Which my code also runs correctly in.
