Thanks for your comment. I think you may be right.

I don't think I was misrepresenting anything (at least, I was trying not to). I just pointed out that behaviour-changing updates that may be harmless in, say, smartphone apps, are much more problematic in environments such as driving-assisted cars.
I think this is objectively true.
And I think we need to come up with mechanisms to solve these problems.

> That learning pattern (resolving unintended surprises as they happen decreasingly often) is common in software.

My argument is that changes in behaviour are (almost automatically) surprising, and thus inherently dangerous. Unless my car is truly autonomous and doesn't need my intervention, it must be predictable. Updates run the risk oof breaking htat predictability.

> Others have preferred the surprise-free and PR-friendly option of not saving the dozens of thousand of lives dying on the road at the moment.

My worry is that (potentially) people will still die, just different ones.

> being in favour of Telsa (and Waymo) taking more risk than necessary

If I'm taking you literally, that's an obviously unwise position to take ("more than necessary"). But I think I know what you meant to say: err on the side of faster learning, accepting the potential consequences. Perhaps like NASA in the 1960s.

But my argument was simply that there is a problem with frequent, gradual updates. Not that we shouldn't update (even though that's actually one option).
We ought to search for solutions to this problem. I can think of several that aren't "don't update".

But claiming that the problem doesn't exist, or that those that worry about it are unreasonable, is unhelpful.

Even though I've been using my own domains for my email for nearly the past 20 years, so can use whatever local part I want, I long ago switched to using "firstname.lastname@" instead of "firstname@". And that was just to prevent dictionary attacks. Luckily my surname is not that common, which helps.

I don't think I've ever received any email intended for somebody else.

I think humans can progress on that scale, but I also think we need to do it the human way. That is, the scenic route if you will, the longer way. If we can just nibble our way to full coverage (of roof tops in this case) faster than we put up new roofs, I think we'll be fine. Utility solar will follow eventually.

Also, and this also ties in to mankinds irrationality - say there is some kind disaster or bombing campaign. I fully believe roof top, i.e. decentralized power generation must be more robust than utility solar.

Blockchains depress me. There are so many technlogies that are vastly more interesting. But most of those haven't created $120,000,000,000 Ponzi schemes, so they're ignored by politicians.

Imagine what would happen if the EU pledged 340 million Euro to database research! Or at any of the great peer-to-peer networks out there. Or at something like Git. Think of all the fascinating new technologies we'd get. But instead they're going to throw money at the goddamn blockchain.

His insights on having been part of the open source movement at MSFT and being involved with some beloved tools at GitHub makes his insight and observations most interesting!

1. If only energy were the only problem. Extinctions, resource depletion, overcrowding, etc. I like futuristic technologies. I also like kids playing on grass, not astroturf, however space-age.

2. Consuming less doesn't require austere or lower standard of living. Most Americans can reduce their energy and other consumption probably by 75% and improve their standards of living.

My standard of living has improved since acting to consume less and I'm not special.
The problem is you need more space after having kids. If your already spending 75% of your income on rent adding another room is not feasible.

Or more basically you need a significant surplus to be able to afford kids.

> Kare also developed the icons, such as the trash can for discarding files, that helped define graphical interfaces. She and Jobs hit it off because they shared an instinct for simplicity along with a desire to make the Mac whimsical. “He usually came in at the end of every day,” she said. “He’d always want to know what was new, and he’s always had good taste and a good sense for visual details.” Sometimes he came in on Sunday morning, so Kare made it a point to be there working. Every now and then, she would run into a problem. He rejected one of her renderings of a rabbit, an icon for speeding up the mouse-click rate, saying that the furry creature looked “too gay.”
"Market" is weird to measure, because you're not really asking what market rate is, you're asking what your baseline is. If you can get a FANG job, the number you care about is effectively the average of what FANG would pay. If you can't, then it's effectively average rate outside of FANG.
> In high school there were all sorts of bad choices. There were soda and junk food vending machines.

I read a bunch of years ago in Branded by Alissa Quart of American schools where soda giants would fund equipment for the sports teams and provide free soda for the cafeteria. So the school would both have to pay for their own drinks in the cafeteria and refuse sponsorship of the sports team to avoid being involved with soda the companies. It just makes economic sense in that case to let the soda company rope the kids in.

It's been a while since I read it, and I can't verify the truth. For me, it sounds like schools should have no part in getting kids addicted to soda.
I'm general, when the price-to-rent ratio is too high. Last I heard San Francisco averages >30. It only makes sense (financially) to own if the price-to-rent ratio is under ~15. If you're an investor looking to become a landlord don't even consider buying a property if the price-to-rent ratio is greater than 8.

Its a smart choice in other situations too - like when you are intending to live somewhere on a temporary basis, for example. You would certainly be better off (again, financially!!) if you were renting a room for a couple hundred bucks a month if that allowed you to sock away $2,000 a month into your retirement funds. That's provided you have the ability to actually save/invest the extra money you have, a mortgage can act like a forced savings account for some people.

I suspect that GraphQL corresponds more to Erik Meijer's "coSQL" formalism (see A Co-Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks). The advantages with respect to SQL would be an open-world assumption (easier distribution, no normalisation), the disadvantage would be the lack of arbitrary joins (which requires normalisation and indexes).

The answer to your question is: Since a few million years. Nevertheless, I understand your point.

My point was more along the lines of criticizing 'correlation vs. cause' and providing equally weak arguments.

What I believe is that there are multiple factors at work here. So higher home prices are probably one reason why people are deciding against children, but most certainly not the only one. And 'deciding against children' doesn't mean they will never have any children, maybe they just wait a few more years before they get the first and in the end there will be one less for some couples.
Practically everything I eat comes out of a package these days. I'd prefer it wasn't like that, but it was the easiest way to measure calories when I was losing weight. You don't lose half your body weight by not making extreme sacrifices, despite what charlatans might tell you in an effort to sell you something.

After I hit my lowest weight I decided to ease up on the extreme calorie counting and shift my efforts towards eating simple home cooked meals since they'd be less expensive and, if you believe the common wisdom, healthier. Consequently, I put on about 30 pounds. This was mostly eating tofu, eggs, potatoes, fruit, mushrooms, various vegetables, cheese, and homemade bread (usually whole grain).

So I went back to what worked. One other thing eating packaged foods did was give me a bunch of time back. I'm still about 10 pounds up from that experiment.

I'm from Denmark, but I lived in San Diego for a while. Between a bit of offroading and weekend trips, I have spent more time in Imperial Valley than most "tourists."

I find it a deeply fascinating place. Whenever I showed visitors around in California, I would take them past Salton Sea. Not only is Salvation Mountain an interesting place, the vibe of the entire valley seems special. Most tourists from Europe see only the coast, the big cities, and perhaps a couple of the larger national parks. The contrast from those places to Imperial Valley is stark. Everybody I brought there appreciated the experience.

I did know that Salton Sea was polluted (5 minutes in Bombay Beach will convince you), but I did not know it was as bad at this article portrays.

To your last point: in NYC it's pretty easy to do things requiring "undisturbed attention" on a 45 minute express Metro North train into the city from the suburbs. It's a very different experience from the subway.

As for the other three, I guess I could say that I'm not sure it's realistic to try and budget your time so efficiently that a 30-45 minute commute is intolerable. Many people have commutes for which that's a margin of error on how long it will take them - that sounds like a real problem.

Aside from working from home full time, what kind of commute are you looking to have, and at what distance from work? It's not realistic for most people to achieve a 15 minute commute, so 30-45 in a train really isn't that bad. If it really matters then you could do things on the train that would normally keep you from your spouse or kids at home :)

I just want to point out that 90% accuracy is, from a user's point of view, awful handwriting recognition performance. It means you will be correcting on average about 10 words per paragraph!

With the risk of extreme downvoting...I'll play devil's advocate here. Note that I'm not advocating any particular viewpoint, other than to cast doubt on a frequently held opinion, that may not be all that well founded:

> anti-vaxxers cause harm to others due to herd immunity

"Ninety-five percent of children entering kindergarten have received two doses of MMR vaccine, as have 92 percent of school children ages 13 to 17 years. In some states, the MMR vaccination rate is near 100 percent.

Despite achieving a vaccination rate that theoretically should ensure vaccine-acquired herd immunity, outbreaks of mumps keep occurring, primarily among those who have been vaccinated " [0]

---

"Arkansas is battling an outbreak of mumps that began in August. As of December 2, 1,824 people had contracted the disease, despite 90 to 95 percent of school aged children and 30 to 40 percent of adults being “fully immunized,” according to the state health department...
Whether they’re vaccinated or not, children miss the same number of days of school due to influenza " [1]

---

As disturbing is the lack of choice a child actually has (for anything, really. I distinctly remember not eating enough sweet things that I wanted):

> plus their children usually have no choice in the matter.

"Comparing vaccination rates in 34 developed nations revealed a significant correlation between infant mortality rates and the number of vaccine doses infants receive. The U.S. requires the most vaccines and has the highest infant mortality.

Research shows the more vaccines an infant receives simultaneously, the greater their risk of being hospitalized or dying compared to those receiving fewer vaccines " [2]

Yes, all the articles are from Mercola, a known 'anti vaxxer', that said all his articles are supported by studies, which is exactly my point: you can't make sweeping statements of opinion and always assume you're right, especially if the 'pro-vaxxers' are also fudging results:

"An eight-month investigation revealed shocking flaws in Merck’s clinical trial design, which effectively prevented assessment of safety. Serious adverse events arising outside of a two-week period post-vaccination were simply marked down as “medical history”" [3]

It's also remarkable how you can present only one side of the coin. Why aren't we all doing international trade in Rubles? Well, the military spending has at least something to do with that, the Soviet economy was not exactly a powerhouse compared to the US's.

And do you think the powers that be appreciated it when Saddam and Russia started to plan for an oil market denominated in EUR instead of USD?

That it exactly the sort of thing you might want to do as a sort of hedge against the restraint against Russia you mention. So while I agree with you 100% in the examples you describe, you should be aware that some talking about the "petrodollar" has this more nuanced understanding.

How frequently is this curriculum revised and how are updates communicated to children after they graduate from that course/class/curriculum?

I'm mostly curiously because of how dietary research has changed and because there is little consensus on what a "bad" diet is. Almost everyone will agree to avoid sugar and processed food, but that's about where it ends. You also have to factor in individual genetics and lifestyle, although perhaps less so in countries like Norway where there would be a common genetic ancestry.

That is called begging the question. If intellectual property did not exist, “theft” would not be theft, and nobody would create a business which would depend on it existing.
