Do you believe that it’ll ship and the on-paper cost will be 0? Or that even accounting for operations and externalities it’ll be zero? (I appreciate the city wouldn’t get the profits directly, but I imagine it’ll benefit via taxes. I’m suggesting the externalities won’t be even close.)
Isn't that the point of the Peter Principle, you're good at your current tasks so you get promoted to do other tasks that you're not good at; as you're not good at those then you don't get promoted further, but you also don't get demoted to the tasks you excelled at.

The problem is viewing the company as hierarchical. Just because less managers are required doesn't mean it's a more important role.
No doubt contraceptives are a part, but they are actually taken by a small minority of people. They are only applicable to relatively young females, those capable of having children. Younger children and older women aren't much of a market. Depending on what ages you want to pick, the applicable population is probably less than 1/4 the total, with a smaller subset of that actually taking.

A quick googling says that 28% of women of "reproductive age" use the pill, which by my math is about 14% of women overall and 7% of the total population.

The slippery slope that people don't anticipate, is when government makes rules that allow them to silence people for "good" reasons. As soon as you allow that then you end freedom of expression.

Example: Administration A makes anti-hate speech laws
10 years later Administration B comes along, nobody likes them, they complain about it. Gets slapped with "hate speech" has to prove a negative that their speech isn't hate, from jail.....

Power corrupts that's why we try to limit the power of government, or any orginization, because government and corporations are made of people and people are fallible and greedy etc

The only thing you can do is simply allow pure freedom of expression, good or bad. Any given individual simply listens to what they want to listen to and ignores what they don't. That is the only practical way forward.
I find your comparing the running times of qsort and std::sort a bit dubious. How sure are you that the difference in running time has anything at all to do with inlining, and not differences in how those two methods are implemented? I get the point you're making, that using templates opens up all sorts of possible inlining optimization possibilities, but it still seems like an unfounded comparison to say that the run time difference between those two are solely due to inlining.

No, more like the former. As I understand it, the emulated TPM runs on the Intel ME, which can also run a webserver.

PHP was always simple to setup and use, the system package manager has all the extensions.

Sorry if I misunderstood what you're trying to say but this makes no sense to me. It's still the same simplicity to install PHP. But what you do with the package manager is not the same thing as what you achieve with composer. PHP extensions != PHP libraries.

You can also use the package manager to install python, ruby, perl, etc. What you generally don't do is use the package manager to install random 3rd party libraries (unless it's a really big project that's been packaged. e.g.: phpmyadmin)

Surely you wouldn't want php library maintainers to also create deb's and rpm's of their projects and host their own repositories, deal with distro release politics and other hindrances just so you can use apt or yum to install them?
Nice. IBM have for some time now provided an Oracle-style SQL*Plus command line utility for DB/2 with almost complete compat. I wonder if that could be a common syntax for such DB-specific utilities, or if the usql folks have insight to share towards another proposal.

Intel CPU Bug “Lazy FPU” (CVE-2018-3665)
I have to imagine it's probably closer to 1/2 of people, maybe even a bit more, that take prescriptions. As people age they are much more likely to be taking some prescriptions , I imagine it's quite a large percentage of people over 60. Many women take prescription birth control. Even for people who aren't taking prescriptions long-term, there's probably a fairly large percent of people at any given time that are on some prescription antibiotic, pain killer, muscle relaxer, or some other short-term medication.
> One of the best decisions I've recently made is starting my morning by reading a newspaper back to back.

That's the worst thing you can do.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/apr/12/news-is-bad-ro...

That's one of the useless things to do and a terrible waste of time. For major news, the best thing to do, which most newspapers don't want you to do is, compare reporting across newspapers and regions. It's why newspapers forced google, social media, etc to limit news to be region specific. It takes more work to find news from around the world, but you'll see how biased most news are.

Take the recent Trump-Kim meeting. The reporting from korea, singapore, china, russia, europe and the US were so different because all news exist to push an agenda. Of course this applies within the nation as well. The leftist media and foxnews covered the meeting very differently.

Most "news" is just noise. It's nonsense journalists make up to push a narrative. There are only a handful of important news items each week. It's better to focus on those than reading a useless newspaper end to end.

That's something I did in high school because I saw an ad saying it increased you SAT score. What a waste of time. There are far better ways to spend your time than reading nonsense from someone who isn't an expert in anything.
>rather due to lack of the trust framework necessary to have faith that those interpreting the evidence are interpreting it correctly.

Funny to hear it framed that way, because most of the flat earth trolls - if you can get them to admit to their game - do it to mess with people who take it on faith that the existence of system means that it can produce results. The general person over-assumes "science's" ability to deliver all the time.

Maybe the Earth really is round, but everyone believes bullshit published in $newspaper about $research because "science said so" rather than reading and evaluating the research paper, all the time. We know damn well that the the news is going to misrepresent findings, but once it gets into meme machine called journalistic narrative everyone starts taking it on faith.

Two empty lines before function definitions is part of the PEP8 style standard, which is widely used in the Python community. Most Python autoformatters and linters default to PEP8.

As for empty lines within code, I personally find it helpful to visually separate logical segments.

This is a good video but it gets the definition of omega and theta wrong, or at least their definition is very non-standard.

By default, O, omega and theta all refer to the worst case running time.

- O(n) means worst_case_run_time <= C n
- omega(n) means worst_case_run_time >= C n
- theta(n) means C1 n <= worst_case_run_time <= C2 n

If you want to talk about something other than worst case, you usually just say it in words, like "the average complexity of this algorithm is O(n^2)".

(I can't remember when someone has ever looked at "best case".)

To rephrase

- "This algorithm is O(something)" means I have an upper bound on the running time on the worst inputs.

- "This algorithm is omega(something)" means I have a lower bound on the running time on the worst inputs.

- "This algorithm is theta(something)" means I have both an upper and lower bound on the running time on the worst inputs (that differ only by a constant multiple.

In particular, a lower bound does not mean "best case" (they aren't even in the same part of the sentence).

(There's also some other detail from the video like the bit representation of string length that needs a footnote but that's much less important, I think.)
Broadband used to be symmetric (reference to e.g. T1 or E3). Now it is asymmetric. Without mentioning the upload speed, it can be anything.
The Peter Principle would be if a good engineer, in order to be promoted, had to become a manager--even though they didn't want to manage people and aren't good at it. It is rather based on traditional hierarchies which good companies offer ways around, e.g. individual contributor advancement tracks.

What I was saying was that just OK engineers can get promoted to management and actually be quite good at it.

It seems dumb that poles are uncommon in an area with little topsoil over a granite substrate? Why so fancy? Incidentally this could mean that the trailer parks are cheaper to serve than swankier neighborhoods; there are lots of poles in trailer parks.
Well, on *BSD the way this works is that when the session leader exits the pty/tty will internally call vhangup(2), which in turn does all that revoke(2) does on the tty FD plus it sends SIGHUP to any processes with that tty as the controlling tty.

Linux for a long time had nothing like this. It has a vhangup(2), but looking at its implementation it doesn't seem to do what the BSD vhangup(2) does by calling revoke(2): replace all open file descriptors pointing to the tty with one that returns EIO for read(2)/write(2)/etc.

Linux does NOT have a revoke(2), or at least I can't find it. There was a patch for that back in 2006 and 2007. I don't know what happened to that.

EDIT: Some trivia as well. On BSD SIGHUP is generated by the tty. On Linux and Solaris/Illumos it's only generated by the session leader process on exit, and only if it wants to. This is how bash's disown builtin works: it just doesn't HUP the disown background jobs. The C shell (csh) historically never generated SIGHUP because it's a BSD shell. Back in the early aughts there was some controversy where csh users wanted OpenSSH's sshd to close a session when the pty session leader exits, as otherwise the session would stay open indefinitely. The OpenSSH developers feared this would lose data, and they were right. The source of this problem was that csh wasn't generating SIGHUP on Solaris and Linux, so background jobs stayed alive and held an open file reference to the pty, which meant that they kept sshd from seeing EOF on the ptm, so sshd would not terminate the session as long as those bg jobs stayed alive. This is all still the case today.
This is exactly what I was thinking about while reading the article. Funny they didn't mention it.
Not sure I understand what you are proposing as an alternative. It seems that you can either test against a 'real' system on the other end, which probably means one project pulling, building and standing up possibly dozens of other services just to run it's test suite. Or, you mock it in some way. I prefer the recording approach as it mocks at the lowest level possible giving you the most test coverage possible.

> On the other side if they don't have to move millions of people to the same hub but rather move a much smaller number of people, they can afford to dig smaller tunnels and stations which are way more easy and fast to build.

The actual cost of tunneling itself is generally fairly cheap--somewhere around $50 million / mile. The expensive part is the stations. You can probably save money without having to build mezzanines, but the lower utilization of the tunnel and the greater number of vertical access shafts needed (not to mention the challenges inherent in moving through that very crowded portion of real estate) is probably going to cause cost blowouts compared to subways. Particularly if you design the tunnels to move cars, not people (SOV cars being about the worst use of space possible).

Bucky was confident that we could use computers to solve our problems. We could enter all relevant data and the machine could compute the optimal solutions for us.

The issue has always been ensuring we ask them to solve the right problems.

If we use AI to tell us how long to imprison people (already happening) rather than how to decrease recidivism, that's a meta-computer choice that we made, not the AI.

If we use AI to kill people, rather than to figure out how not to have to kill them in the first place, that's also our choice.

>I never knew there's a sculpture of a fearless girl staring down the charging bull in front of the stock exchange building -- the media always just shows the bull.

You're joking, right? When that statue was put up, there was massive hype and media coverage that went on for days. And there was a controversy when the bull sculptor objected to the way that the girl statue was juxtaposed, and that got a lot of coverage. Including here on HN, IIRC.
How about instead the US as a nation returns to not being cowards about attempting aggressive new efforts at leaping forward on infrastructure.

We should be doing a lot more things like this, rather than basking in our pathetic decades-long stagnation of clinging to barely good enough.

Every American should be angrily protesting the backwards, ancient transport systems the US relies on.

The Fed should be mandated with establishing a $1+ trillion infrastructure development fund, by 'printing' dollars over 20 years to fill the program. We should further leverage Federal agencies like DARPA, corporate R&D, inventors, foreign capabilities, and the vast US university system, to fund and spur radical efforts to build new, experimental infrastructure everywhere.

Today's regressive, conservative approach would have never enabled the US to build the Interstate Highway System. It's time for a radical change, the sooner the better. We must stop tolerating mediocrity by proclaiming that things are good enough as is.

To be fair, that's from my understanding "aggressive configuration of CUBIC in Chrome", not something dictated by the protocol.

It's an interesting point though that move to UDP and doing congestion-control in higher levels, in user-space, makes it easier for applications to be overly aggressive, and there's some incentive for them to do so. Clear downside of how frozen the lower levels of the stack have become in some ways...

I often run in DND, with some of my contact list set to bypass DND and notifications off for nearly every app.

That combined with notifications set to repeat on messages (like old feature phones used to) means I'll get a few pings from people I'd like to hear from. Everything and everyone else is silence until I decide to unlock and look.

The only thing I miss on iPhone is a notification LED as even with repeat I occasionally miss a message or call from friends. Then again perhaps I don't: in all my years on Android, and paying for several LED apps, I never once got the simple notification behaviour I sought from an LED. Not once. Android always overwrote it with something else, or Google's preferred colour or different behaviour.

My old feature phones and early GSM mobiles managed to do LEDs sanely enough.
