Counting vulnerabilities is entirely useless. You can easily attribute more vulns to better security, as it may indicate a larger/ better group of people are looking for vulnerabilities.

"A stampede"

I get the cattle-based pun, but this is oversold. At the store I see a 200 foot display case with the large majority devoted to beef, pork and chicken and the fake meat over to one side, past the lamb/veal/"etc", taking up no more than 10% of the display case. Customers aren't stupid, and stores aren't either. We want meat; they know how to sell it to us.
Are Tesla cars equipped with enough processing power? I agree that with some good cameras a ton of processing power and a super AI you could avoid crashes, I mean Tesla hit a fire Truck, the cameras would have been enough to detect the obstacle but the AI or the hardware needed to process the camera output is years behind what it should be.

Don't assume they would. Plenty of purchasing in large companies is associated with some higher up hearing about something, wanting it, then buying it to 'help' in some obscure way.

I chew my American food cut with a knife and fork much more than my South Indian food that I eat with my hands (curries and rice are already in small pieces and meat is picked off the bone by hand).

You could make some argument about cutting food into bite size pieces vs biting it off a larger piece, but I don't think the fork plays the pivotal role here.

Speaking as someone who's changed their mind fairly recently on whether illegal immigration was logical or not (past six months, to "actually, I don't see what's wrong with it"), I'd say the biggest reason is just because of how many things are really, really innefficient under the current system.

You hear stories about kids raised in the US by undocumented parents since shortly after birth, just to get deported to a (more or less) third world country that they have no history in. That's a bit insane, no? And it's not like it's being fairly enforced across the board, either. Try to find any persecution against it that isn't against someone in an at-risk community of low income. It's super unlikely that it's just them doing this.

And the idea that the government can/should keep peaceful people out feels a bit...off, to me. Without serious reform, at least.

As it stands, a lot of the thought processes on the "CLOSE UP THE BORDERS" sort of sentiment are a bit backward. For example, why would we want to get rid of unskilled workers who work for very little? It'd make more sense to get rid of the foreign skilled workers, since they're more than likely taking high-paying jobs. (For the record, I don't like either of those outcomes.)

At the moment, another portion of why I think illegal immigration is fairly sane is just because legal immigration to the US (and many other places, it's not alone in it) is stuck in the Stone Age. It's 2018, there's no excuse for how innefficient it is at this point - especially for low-income people.
Calling it milk also encourages people to give these products to infants in the mistaken belief they are an acceptable substitute for real milk. Of course they aren't, as real milk is nutrient-dense and nut "milks" are essentially water unless they are fortified.

Also, almond farming is remarkably water-hungry. 10% of California's water use is tied up in growing almonds.
In Santa Monica, they're planning to add a pictograph of a scooter to bike lanes so the tourists know to ride there instead of the side walks. (And they're charging the scooter companies additional fees to pay for the costs.)
> pursuing happiness is a sure-fire way to not be happy

Depends if you really understand what you want and why. For someone who has experienced some of the worst life has to offer and whose world view is solidified, happiness might mean little more than a handful of creature comforts and a job with a decent (or nonexistent) boss.

Finding deeper/truer purpose is really a luxury to many people at the bottom. Sure, it's important to be able to feel like you're part of something worthwhile that's bigger than yourself, but there are a lot of ways to experience that feeling which don't require a whole lot beyond 'pursuing happiness'. [I know there's plenty more subtlety to these arguments, but I think in a lot of cases like this one, philosophical musings benefit greatly from a healthy dose of pragmatism.]
I think blocking content and net neutrality are mostly totally different issues. (Although content blocking I guess is one subset of NN).

It's interesting because, due to free speech laws in the US, ISPs can't really block anything. But they are required to monitor and report people who transfer illegal content:

Just to be 100% clear, Rust can expose a C ABI for exactly this purpose. You still have to deal with unsafe around the boundary, but can keep the core fully safe.

Doing so was some of the earliest production uses of Rust, and is still among the largest.

Probably like anybody else although they probably have a better chance for dealing with it since they can afford to take time off to care for themselves and hire the best therapists. Otherwise they are people you and me who just happen to be good at business but this doesn't mean they are better equipped at handling other issues like mental health.

Both AMD and Intel seem highly supportive of OSS.

Intel's iGPUs had the best Linux drivers for the longest time, while AMD just managed to mainline their GPU drivers into the 4.15 kernel.

I think AMD is "worse" at it but for understandable reasons. They're a smaller company, so it takes a bit longer for AMD to release low-level manuals. (Ex: still waiting on those Zen architecture instruction timings AMD!!). Even then, AMD releases "draft" manuals which allow the OSS world to move. So the important stuff is still out there, even as AMD is a bit slow on the documentation front.

Basically, Intel is a bigger company and handles the details a bit better than AMD. But both are highly supportive of OSS in great degrees.

All they need to do is open it up and take a look inside. There should just be a USB port and a pair of wires, maybe a pair of resistors. If there's anything else, this is a Trojan Horse. You can probably open this up with a butter knife, maybe a small pair of pliers to open up the USB connector.

Don't forget mushrooms! Stuff in the Lactarius genus are commonly called milky caps.

It's actually a tradition to mess with mushroom beginners by asking them to put the sap from Lactarius piperatus on their tongues, because it's super spicy and burns a ton. But it's also the easiest way that you ID the mushroom and tell it apart from a couple look alikes.

Points 1 and 2 are answered in this article [1] from a couple weeks ago. To summarize:

1. Scooters are indeed stolen. The batteries can be sold for around $50. "The Bird will chirp at you if you try to steal it, but they chirp so often that no one pays attention

2. From the charger's POV, they do it on the side: "in the end it pays for a fancy dinner" and "It’s like a game and I would do it even if the prices were halved, which they probably will be". From the company's point of view, would it really be a surprise if they were losing money?

>and quite a few people who are "printing money" are printing the wrong kind of money to raise venture funding on.

Only if you agree with the premise that "Venture Capitalists Get Paid Well to Lose Money".[1]

(I don't agree with that conclusion, I just think they're not writing enough checks for their own purposes.)

In that case the right kind of company in 2018 is an AI social media machine learning cloud platform startup, and there's a whole lot fewer than 1000 of those total worldwide due to the simple fact -- and I think you can see the end of this sentence coming -- that I just spouted gibberish.

More seriously, when Airbnb was founded ten years ago it wasn't the right company either, and the only pivot it made is from being a "rent out your apartment to tourists over the Internet" company 9 years ago to a "rent out your apartment to tourists over the Internet" company with 4 million lodging listings in 65,000 cities and 191 countries which has facilitated over 260 million bookings and as of a year ago, closed a $1 billion round at a $31 billion after becoming profitable in 2016.[2] The founders did this by selling cereal.

(One anecdote does not contradict the general point.)
I guess my problem with the meat producers trying to lock down the word meat is that I'm not buying "meat".

I buy specific things. I want to buy chicken. I want to know the chicken was raised in a humane way, as far away from cages and their most recent defection event as possible. I'd like to buy chicken raised on a omnivorous diet of pecking whatever seeds and animals they find on the ground, but I'll take vegetarian raised chicken too. I usually buy as much of the chicken as possible minus the feet, heads, and feathers.

Reducing the burden I have to go through to buy meat will increase the amount of meat I buy. Forbidding the labeling of meat substitutes as meat will not increase the amount of meat I buy or decrease the burden of researching and choosing that meat, but it will still offer me with lots of meat-substitutes with heavily regulated labeling that allows me to decrease the burden of researching and choosing my proteins.
Unlimited wealth can also cause its own set of problems and anxieties that run deeper than "which bank should I use" or "which whim should I indulge next".

E.G. Does someone like me or do they just like my money? What should I do with my life now that I'm unfulfilled by indulging my whims?
If that were the definition then almost nothing on the shelf (inc. cow) would be considered "milk."

Many people seem to be under the mistaken impression that in the US cow milk is simply squeezed out and bottled. Whereas in reality cow milk is pasteurized, homogenized, separated, and processed, then re-assembled.

Meaning that cow milk in the US is completely artificial. If you've ever tried milk in the EU or straight from a cow you'd know they taste vastly differently to what is sold as "milk" on a US shelf.
Urine is mostly water, and salt.

She had a new company, so she still had a stressful job: https://francesvalentine.com/
I moved into a rental house with an HOA in a place where even the roads were private. Across the street lived the president of the HOA. Her daughters were off at college, but their cars were parked in front of their house for months without moving. The streets were small and parking was only allowed on that side of the street.

Faster forward four years, I parked my car in front of their house for a period of two days because I had gotten a new car but had not yet sold the old one and had nowhere to put it. On the second day I got an unnecessarily nasty (it got strangely personal), unsigned (zero contact information; no names), non-letterhead letter from "the HOA" saying that police had been notified about my car and that it would be towed after 72-hours. This was a nice car, not an eyesore; and they had to know it was my car at that point.

I briefly considered writing a letter to all the HOA members warning them about someone "impersonating the HOA". I also thought about having my lawyer draft a nasty letter to the HOA. Instead, I just kept my car parked on either end of their house every two days until I moved out (taking a photo each time, which at some point they must have seen me do), even though I had some other options. Had they simply knocked on my door and asked me about it, that wouldn't have happened.

I disagree with gun registries being a precursor to confiscation and prosecution. I think the Government in their wisdom is trying to do the right thing. Having weapons registered means that if a crime occurs with a gun, it can be traced to a legal owner and they can be held accountable for the crime. This in turn means that legal gun owners will be more responsible with the storage and use of their weapons which will reduce the amount of crimes perpetrated by "legal" weapons. It will mean that if a weapon is stolen, it will be reported as such because the registered owner doesn't want to be held accountable for a crime with a stolen weapon.

There is much good that can come from registration. It will lead to more responsible gun owners.

However, the argument on the other side of the fence is also true - criminals will always be able to get unfettered access to illegal weapons. However, those weapons will have to be smuggled into the country, not stolen from those who purchased them through legal channels.

But just like the Jews, if you've got a gun and owning a gun becomes a crime that the government decide to enforce retroactively, then you have effectively signed your arrest warrant by registering them.

I don't think this is their intention however. Their intention is merely to hold legal gun owners to a standard of care that I believe they should be held and currently aren't. They're saying "if you own a gun, you're going to be expected to care for it responsibly. If you do not care for it responsibly, you are going to be held accountable for the damage it causes."

But you know what they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The government has a history of making laws that seem to be well intended that end up being exploited because they're overreaching while saying "oh, we don't mean that, we'll never enforce it in that way."

Yeah this is a little disturbing. If I make almond milk at home I probably use a cup of almonds to make a quart of almond milk, the commercial stuff is probably less than a quarter of that.

It’s a good example of where the numbers don’t make sense. If you look at the price of the product and the price of almonds something just doesn’t add up
Anduril aka "flame of the west" is Aragorn's sword. He uses it to fight orcs, but also to fight "Southrons" and "Easterlings", men under the influence of Sauron. (Make of that what you will)

Notably, Aragorn is able to defeat the latter two groups using his sword at the Battle of Minas Tirith, thus repelling them from "The West". I suppose Luckey thinks of his system as a way to repel evil people like the Southrons?
"They can quit stressful jobs, or immediately get appointments with great healthcare providers, or go travel in Europe for a year."

I believe I know what you mean. I disagree. I have no experience being a billionaire, or a millionaire for that matter, however here are my casual observations and thoughts:

A billionaire cannot just quit a job. There must be a transition period. A billionaire can't just no call no show. It's possible, but it never happens.

A billionaire cannot travel to Europe like I can, going from Airbnb to airbnb, hopping in an Uber, surfing with the locals, enjoying fish tacos. A billionaire ends up being an ambassador with little privacy.

Immediately get appointments with great healthcare providers. Maybe. But so can I.

No, sorry, you're right that venture capital as an asset class underperforms most other investments, but that doesn't mean that every company that is "printing money" should receive investment. The mathematics of venture investing only work for a subset of businesses.

The other non-dairy milks at the grocery store are also named after their appearance. No one is trying to trick someone into drinking almond milk, the almond part is clearly labeled. But it's a white liquid used for many of the same things as dairy milk, it's not confusing to call it a milk.

I also purchase almond flour and I have never been confused that it wasn't actually wheat.
I don't think a billionaire's money buys as much relief as we might think. You could afford the best therapist but are you getting quality or just someone who can big up their reputation to justify charging you $10K per hour for the same service as every other therapist?
