Note that the arrow solution failed because to the shunting yard the cars were immutable objects. They could only control the direction of the arrows in the non-toilet cars by how they oriented the whole car when they composed it into the train they were building.

If the non-toilet cars were made mutable, specifically if they were made so the arrows could be reversed, then the shunting yard could compose the cars without regard for the orientation of the non-toilet cars, and someone later could go through and set the arrow directions. I'd guess there is some sort of preload inspection done by the crew, which might be a good place to handle setting the arrows.

I never touched Photoshop in my life so no idea what you can tune there and what its defaults are, but general experience shows that a lot of people either just don't bother and go with the defaults, or go all crazy clicking and manipulationg everything without knowng what's going on.

I agree with you that for JPEG there is no silver bullet, but like that other comment here suggests, you could perfectly just run optipng on max settings in a cronjob and call it a day, because you know there will be absolutely no quality loss if you don't explicitly request it.

Yep. A lot of people assume freedom of speech means they are allowed to say anything they want in a public forum, and nobody are allowed to stop them. But in actuality, freedom of speech means you are free from being censored by the gov't, but only the gov't. A private forum (such as a site, or newspaper) can freely censor anyone's speech if they choose to use their forum/platform/print.
I think it's more effective if it's still read-write but the output is redirected to /dev/null.

That is an unbelievable amount of money to waste on a cancelled project. It's funny how these turn into an ego thing for the project owner. If the person in charge has good links and reputation, they can keep getting funding year on year, even when the project has gone bad. Usually they are good talkers, but bad executors and have been at a firm for a significant number of years (so people think twice about firing them because of the severance package alone). I've seen this at every investment bank I've worked in, with projects racking up GBP 40m in spend before getting canned. I suppose it uplifts the GDP at least...

GPA and class rankings do seem to be counterproductive measures if you're trying to get people to challenge themselves. The classes I got the most out of are the ones I got B's and C's in, or even had to redo in one case.

It definitely makes more sense if you look at the idea of the "sheepskin effect" where the degree is not a signifier of material mastered, but a signifier that you are a good worker. In that case, what you learn is generally far less important than whether you work well on a team. And a high GPA means you are orderly, methodical and conscientious.

Lidl is wasting 500 million euros

Because the introduction of a new data system did not work out, Deutsche Post already had to record a high loss several years ago. The same thing happened to Lidl. After seven years and costs of more than half a billion euros, the planned system is still not running smoothly. Now the discounter has pulled the ripcord.

Lidl has been on an expansion course for years. The discount store from Neckarsulm now has branches in almost every country in Europe and is now also growing in the USA. A new merchandise management system was needed to easily keep track of the increasingly complex business processes and to control branches, purchasing and logistics. Therefor the decision in 2011.

System is not good for high-turnover countries

Software from the Walldorf-based software company SAP was to be adapted to the needs of Lidl. So far, however, the new system has only been introduced in some small agencies in Austria, Northern Ireland and the USA. It has been shown that the SAP version developed by over one hundred IT specialists is not suitable for high-turnover countries. Now Lidl has stopped the project. In one of the newspaper "Heilbronner Stimme" present letter to the coworkers it is said that the actual "goals" are "not reachable with justifiable effort". So far, according to expert opinion, the project has consumed more than half a billion euros - for expensive IT consultants and SAP licenses, for example. Now Lidl wants to further develop its own inventory management system.
>> GOFAI had several defects, but… the main thing is, nearly all of it was false.

It would be nice to see some kind of substantial examples of how "(nearly all of) GOFAI was false", accompanying statements like the one above. The problem of course is - those are very hard to come by.

That is so because logic-based AI was abandoned. And it was abandoned because funding was cut repeatedly, not because of its failure to prove this theory or achieve that aim, but because the ones holding the purse strings were administrators and military pencil-pushers, who had no way to know a successful, or failed, program if one came up and bit them in the boogies.

And just to substantiate my comment- what, exactly, was "false" about logic programming, one of the major research subjects in GOFAI? It worked just fine back then, it works just fine right now. In very practical, down to earth terms, you can prove a proposition, or a predicate, true or false by automatic means, sure as you can answer "2 + 2 = ?".

So, really- more substance, less assertiveness, would do a world of good to those for whom "AI" means everything that they read online after 2012 and who may end up missing a hell of a lot of the history of the field if they take that sort of "GOFAI failed" statements at face value.

Why is Mongo a bad option for a document store? Serious question.
But it's not just "not government mandated", it's that the current US president went as far as to ban the term "climate change" building a list of "phrases to be avoided".

Surely that doesn't help, no matter how private sector focused the USA is, in fact it's actively undermining the effort to save our planet.

Speaking of which, what incentive does the private sector have to save the planet beyond its own back yard?

Why does Tesla do it? Isn't it like, Elon Musk's personal mission, his own choice? Is this a common occurrence yet, then, in the US automotive industry? Are they gaining an majority yet on the other companies, you know the ones that couldn't give a rat's ass about saving the planet. Cause I only ever hear about Tesla being a unique outlier, saving the planet through capitalism instead of regulation. But since the US private sector is doing such a great job without regulation and the government's deafening silence, I guess there must be a ton more of these companies operating at similar scale, developing new tech to help solve climate change. Are other industries doing the same?

Are there any historical examples where unregulated capitalism somehow ended up solving ecological problems of its own creation? Of course I mean, adjusted for the amount of times it wrecked ecosystems because of its tendency to deep dive into tragedy-of-the-commons scenarios.

The really large scale ecological problems I've seen (somewhat) solved in my lifetime have all been through government regulation. Acid rain and ozone holes, to be specific.

Isn't it, if you think about it rationally, a capitalist solution can only solve problems on a local level. If it doesn't affect the bottom line, then there is no incentive to be "better", because companies measure "better" in profit, anything else is meaningless. As soon as the company grows to control things on a global scale, and therefore be incentivised to keep their resources (living environment) intact on a global scale, then it might as well be a government. At least in terms of power.
At that point, you've spent a fair amount of money onboarding the employee, and they'd likely be eligible to file for unemployment benefits. Even if there are no further repercussions under the "ban the box" regulations, it still tips the scale—at least a bit—toward reducing the friction for those with criminal records to obtain employment.
What kinds of things do you configure ? For us, the test environment is the same as the development environment, only we don't send out emails. Then there are some test scripts, but those are provided by Symfony and remain unchanged. So there is very little to setup.

And indeed, tests don't take much time to write once you get used to writing them. It's like anything. The more you do it, the better you get at it.

The moment AEI is advocating Natural Gas (a fossil fuel, FYI) and "advanced drilling" technologies, you know they are onto something and it's increasingly clear to the public that methane leaks and the 100x potency as a greenhouse gas is making it a non-option as renewal energy source.

Also, quoting BP, one of the big three oil companies, as the data source for CO2 report is like quoting Philip Morris's research on how smoking affects lung cancer, or quoting Monsanto for resarch on how RoundUp affects human digestive system. You get the idea.
I don't think it really counts as compression. It's like taking the statistics of a text and generating a new one with a Markov chain.

Bugs don't magically "shift". If you eliminate a class of bugs, it's gone (e.g. memory bugs).

> ... most certainly will also be noticed and stopped swiftly.

That's not necessarily the case. It very much depends on how it's "stolen", the cluefulness of the attackers, etc.

For example, if the data is pulled out of the live system via (say) some kind of SQL exploit, then intrusion detection gear has a possibility of noticing and reacting in a reasonable time frame.

However, if (again, for example) the data is copied directly from backup tape when the tapes are transported to secondary storage, or are (in)correctly disposed of. That's extremely unlikely to be detected. Ever.

There are just so many attack vectors. :/

The thing is, they don't show the hardware which would go with the spend. The construction equipment used to occupy the Spratleys has to then be followed by new ships, new airplanes, new heavy armor.

Domestically, the provinces are very powerful. the PLA is not out in force in complex, expensive hardware, its paramilitary presence which is not a huge increasing cost given mandatory post-university universal conscription.

Missiles and Nuke are a fixed cost.

TL;DR absent a plan for war (which they don't have, and show no signs of wanting) there is no visible basis to assume a huge hidden military budget.
