In retrospect should have gone into depth here.

There are fish dishes, traditional ones in coastal towns. But as the cooling chain is often none-existant, the parts of the country more far away from the coast only eat canned fish or salt-fish.

Its general either to expensive, or in danger of being rotten. So if you have a surplus of cattle/sheep/goat, anyone would prefer steak to the health hazard.

>wealthy groups in all the areas opt for fresh fish with soft texture contrary to the poor such as those in Afgoye and Adale who consume fish with rough
texture and smell because they cost less than other types of fish. Common low quality fish mostly consumed by the poor are Gacoore (Alestes affinis) and Koronto or electric fish in Afgoye. Some respondents in Bardera and Shinile in Hiran
admitted dislike for fish due to associated smell therefore
do not consume it at all. The quality of fish consumed also
depends on preservation and storage methods employed.
Generally, the preservation and storage techniques are
poor thus most of the fish is consumed immediately after
buying. Poor preservation methods and facilities are very
often the cause of spoilage.

I don't want to be the conspiracy guy, but if I read the email the opposite way, I found out that the message is the sabotage first (yes), but the second point about ramping up the production to 5k is the second subject.

> What makes Rust, like C or C++, efficient is not just that they are statically compiled, it's that they have massively-tuned optimizing compiler spending a lot of time in compile-time optimizations.

Consider that javac and the Java runtime have received plenty of resources and development time (since 1995 or so!).

The overhyped claim in the early days of Java was that it would be "faster than C" due to JIT optimizations. That has certainly turned out to not be the case. Further, Java and all the other managed languages (to include the CLR languages) remain unsuitable for real time applications due to GC pauses.

As this article points out, memory consumption for JVM based systems is also usually vastly higher than for C/C++/Rust/Ada.

C++ in particular has been a dumpster fire of a language, and IMO has set the industry back considerably. It's good to see Rust and a few other languages providing much better alternatives in the same space - languages suitable for lean, real time, high performance applications.
I am more inclined to your sentiment.
Now there is no excuse for badly formatted code and being a lazy slob, and I never use the word refactor in the sense it is used here.

I often _redesign_ old code to meet new requirements and to support new features, but I would not call it refactoring.

I always strive to leave the code better than when I found it. But I would not name it refactoring.
There is no evidence for any of the the claims being made. Unless we see a criminal investigation and charges this is nothing more than pr.

Musk does sound a bit like a paranoid crack head but the pr gambit is to distract from the recent string of tesla crashes and spontaneous combustions by floating the idea of sabotage.

Of course they cant directly allege sabotage because it is absurd but if you put the idea out there then people infer it.

If we look at this from a practical perspective, Super Tucanos and other "WW 2 Mustangs with guided munitions, FLIR, and GPS" could be low-cost alternatives to the A-10 for low-technology settings such as Afghanistan - the only goal would be to save money, not REPLACE the A-10.

The reason the A-10 is being considered for replacement really is to free up money for F-35s. The problem is that to push this agenda, the USAF is dangerously claiming the A-10 no longer has a role.

As everyone said, the F-35 is not a replacement for the A-10 for a variety of reasons, and neither is the Super Tucano.

However, that doesn't mean that the USAF can't use the Tucanos to save some money on operating costs.

This is the exact difference between someone who works and someone who is handed money to do work. I don't know if Amazon would be alive without this transaction, but it sure helped that Bezos was given 300k by his parents.
That is the lament, the prayer of the alpha customer. What will happen is that one day the money will run out. Then the game goes live regardless of its current state.

We are talking about factory floor equipment, the kind that's designed to run air-gapped and where you find lots of old unpatched Windows 2012 installs because the machine was certified with that and patching would require recertification.

Not sure if you've tried lately, but when you pay cash for a burner phone, most retail outlets require a driver license to scan your information into their system. When you activate it, you need quite a bit of personal information.

Are there ways around these? Sure, but it's not nearly as easy as you're proposing.

I'm glad that you believe it, but it's not a reasonable position. The primary reason for some U.S. tariffs is the legitimate reason of national security. We provide tariffs on certain foods, mineral resources, and military products because we want to guarantee that we do not loose production ability. Should we suddenly find ourselves in a world war, we would not be creating these production lines from scratch. Therefore, tariffs are always a balancing act between being nice to our friends and ensuring we keep some level of production available.
> Besides, if we are just on the cusp of having self-driving cars we should be able to deploy self-driving trains right now and reap all the benefits of autonomous transport immediately.

Self-driving (GoA4) trains are close to 40 years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_New_Transit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lille_Metro
There are very few cities in America where public transport is the most efficient option for MOST trips - e.g. think about cities where a family of four could honestly say that they wouldn’t need a car.

If a large capital project is not going to change that equation, it seems unlikely that that is an efficient use of money.

It’s sad to say that in all but the largest and densest American cities mass transit is used for the most part by people that can’t drive.
For an EU exit to be an agreeable choice, well at the risk of being drawn into an argument based on inappropriately simplified premisses, but here goes...

To exit the EU I think a fundamental member nation like the UK would need to observe, without cynicism, that the EU was somehow now incompatible with the UK's long-term socio-economic plans.

The UK would then need to make a thorough exit plan that demonstrably showed, again without cynicism, how the UK and its people would prosper and continue to support its allies and uphold it's principles and commitments.

This plan would then need to be proposed to the people in clear terms, without bias, without a marketing budget in an engaged bipartisan, honest manner.

In this day and age it really is not hard to see what is wrong with politics. It's so easy to imagine a 'better' way of doing almost anything. There is far too much polarity, one-upmanship, ego, self serving, and down-right 'fuck you' to the opposition. Trump and others literally fuck over the previous incumbent's changes just for the status and message it sends. Almost nothing is done for 'the people', everything is done for show and status. There simply is no substance any more.
Frequently, the actual time-to-pick-up does not match the predicted time-to-pick-up. It's effectively the proposed system -- you have to wait longer. Now they want to make you wait even longer.

Why not offer better service for higher prices (instead of the reverse)? Getting service from a "super" tier of drivers, ones that have:

* a history of ON TIME pick-ups

* fluent spoken English

* straightforward following of GPS directions

* GUARANTEED air-conditioning

* non-smoking

* quiet not talking loudly on the phone

* not a POS car with destroyed vehicle suspension/shock absorbers and trashed seating

Why most refugees do not live in camps – The Economist explains
As excited as I am for robotaxis, nothing beats the raw people moving capacity of trains. The places where robotaxis offer the greatest benefit is in providing first and last mile services getting people to the train station and back in sprawling suburban areas where adequate transit service isn't feasible.

You'd need to have some very smart, and tough public policy in place, though, to constrain robotaxis to instances where they provide maximal societal benefit. It will more likely be a free for all that makes traffic worse, not better, because that's just the way these things tend to go.
Wireshark is my favourite "I told you so" tool. You can't imagine how useful it is for network troubleshooting.

Heck, It's been many times that I've told a customer "you've got this device running this OS in your network doing DPI/ALG/etc and it's probably sitting points at the network diagram exactly here, which you conveniently forgot to add to the diagram" just by looking at a network trace with Wireshark.
Worth adding that Wireshark has a plugin system for adding protocols.

The fix/fast protocol plugin is something I'd have been in a lot of trouble without in my past.
I actually think self driving technology will be most cost effective in rural areas - you can't run bus routes because there is no common traffic patterns and the there isn't enough demand. However, self driving on demand transit will be able to pick people up and take them where they need to go. You may have to wail till a vehicle is free, but that's better than super infrequent bus routes and messy connections.
A little late to the conversation, aintcha?

First, I assume I'm being watched at all times, particularly considering this is internationally wired e-mail through a public email hosting service with less privacy protection than a glass-walled dressing room facing a public street. And a flashing red neon sign. Less than that. The spy agencies already have it and know this stuff exists, so I disadvantage nobody by sharing it with them.

Second, I know the U.S. government has it out for me. If I throw this garbage in the trash and do nothing, it will arouse a lot more suspicion than if I report it like a good little internet user.

I'm not above opposing the U.S. government's other agencies if the cause is just, but in this instance, fighting to protect the colossally stupid (so colossally stupid it makes the whole thing feel like a set-up) is pretty low on my list.
Is it reasonable to hate and avoid IPv6 for fears of further privacy erosion (easier tracking than with IPv4)?

While there is some good advice here, HN is an awful venue to ask this sort of stuff. Comparing yourself to anybody here is toxic. You never get a full picture and if you're already in the mindset that you're a failure, the guys in here who only talk about themselves in a positive way will only reinforce that.

You need to look after yourself.

Some ruts are too deep to climb out of without help. Find a psych{ologist,iatrist} and talk this through, take the medication they recommend (if any) and get well. It really can be that easy.

Then you can start to appreciate life, not the shit that people extol on here about investing and benchmarking and maximising pay. That will only ever lead you back to feeling you never have enough.

FWIW I found cycling and woodworking. And then a baby girl. I'm much clearer what life is all about now.
No one is yet sure whether traffic will increase or decrease.

As you describe, people may buy self driving cars and use the self-driving feature to drive them more often. Wealthy folks and people in rural areas are almost certain to take this route.

Others predict that people won't buy cars at all and will instead rent them from ride services, who in turn may promote ride sharing on an unprecedented scale. Poor folks, for whom a car is a major expense, are almost certain to take this route, as well as city dwellers.

Personally, I think we may see traffic increase in some areas and substantially decrease in others. I suspect the largest source of traffic -- the commute -- will shrink considerably as networks of reasonably dense self-driving vanpools and small busses pop up.
Am I understand it right?

Pretty much the most active users of cryptocurrencies so far are different kinds of investors who use it to avoid taxes and exposure of their assets to government and such?

> the implication here is that the NYC subway's sole financial problem is corruption. Is that actually true?

So, that isn't the assertion. The argument that taxes are raised for a project, then being diverted to general funds is a separate issue from the one of corruption, and speak more directly to OP's argument that "taxes don't go down", to which the rebuttal from GP was "Well, taxes shouldn't go down, because maintenance is a thing". If the taxes don't go down, and also aren't being used for the purpose they were raised, you have sort of a shell game.

That said, on the matter of corruption, here are a few quotes from the first source I linked:

Self-driving subways have been a thing for nearly 40 years.
Not a lawyer but naming conflicts usually apply when things are in the same sector, not just when they are “competing”. Apple Computer and Apple Records are in completely different sectors, so that’s fine. You could not call a company “Apple” if you sold electronic parts, as that is too similar in the sector to Apple Computers, even if you’re not directly competing.
"When Young first reached out to Google in May about his findings, the company replied by closing his bug report with a “Status: Won’t Fix (Intended Behavior)” message. But after being contacted by KrebsOnSecurity, Google changed its tune, saying it planned to ship an update to address the privacy leak in both devices. Currently, that update is slated to be released in mid-July 2018."
Good idea re: point 1.

Point 2 is the main thing to fix. I think it's because I don't have a concept of wrapping when I generate the cells initially.

Thanks for the feedback.
It's becoming a common occurrence to fall victim to false positives from algorithmic filters. False positives are just always going to be part of any kind of machine-learning algo. In the end it's statistical probability, and probability doesn't equal certainty. Sure there are techniques to reduce false positives, but I sincerely think that any user-affecting policy based on ML / algos should always have a real-live human based support fallback to get real resolution to the real issue of false positives.
Three years into a job, I often feel I would love to move somewhere. Thailand, Sweden, India, South Africa etc.

I have actually moved quite a few times and found the new place to be very similar except I don't have my friends anymore, have to learn my way around, figure out the banking system, and figure out the new job.

Are you sure that the problem is the complexity of the domain? Are you sure its not the co-workers, or impossible feature requests, or short timelines?

I mean it may feel complex if you're asked to understand 1000s of lines of codes and debug them or something.

Having said that, I will add that every few years a new small platform comes out that needs new hardware. It is "simpler" in the sense you describe but much tougher because there is no tooling, and no guides, and you have to work much harder to figure things out.

tl;dr: mere nostalgia.
> It seems like a bit of class warfare on the part of the Koch's.

You can get richer by increasing your wealth or by decreasing everybody else's wealth. People that think that life is a zero-sum game think that both are the same thing.

People with a growth mindset care more about wellbeing over relative richness. Sometimes the best way for me to have more is for everybody else to also have more. And others happiness and wellbeing is part of my own.

The Koch's fall in the first category.
> US agriculture is outrageously subsidized. I'll go into a specific example in a moment

Yeah, corn. That's why everything is HFCS heavy in the US. And I do mean everything.

Things that didn't need to have so much sugar like bread, ketchup, other sauces, soup, etc.

It's easier to get it than to avoid it.

And american's health suffer for it.
The problem with global menu bars is that you can have multiple windows on the screen, and the menu in this other place, totally separate from the windows (the top of the screen) depends on which window is focused. That is weird.

I'm sure everyone that has used OSX has at some point wondered when they couldn't find a menu they were looking for only to realise some window on a different screen was focused.

And what will happen to the country and the economy that sustains them if they "stop digging" ?
That will work as soon as we have a single currency.

The EU is a really good example here of how a single currency puts everyone on the same economic accounting basis and so eliminates the ability of a country to 'fudge' the numbers through either internal subsidies or currency manipulation.

The reason you need a single currency is that if you're going to sell barrels of wheat from country X to country Y, and country Y buys televisions from country X. How many units of currency is a television worth relative to a barrel of wheat? If those values are tied to the same currency, then the economic incentive to grow wheat or build televisions will be on the same footing.
There seems to be too much ideology on both sides of the argument, a bit more pragmatism would be better.
