- Most apps aren’t targeting “the world”.

> "And would I want to work on yet another language, knowing I’ve already solved the interesting problems?"

Sometimes this happens to me too, where I want to scratch an itch, and I try to do it by writing real software and using it. In general I have found that to be a bad idea. For those I prefer writing throw-away software, and only writing real software when it's "boring" but useful work.

> Panasonic is the one who manufacturers Tesla's batteries, that's not a operational advantage for them. Many other car companies have similar deals with other battery manufacturers, like Toyota/Mastushita.

Panasonic = Matsushita

AFAIK, Toyota does not currently have a battery partnership (other than the R&D-based old partnership with... ahem, Tesla), but in December last year they + Panasonic started a feasibility study to see if Panasonic could become their main supplier.

I don't agree with your first point. But at any rate, if you're only ever bothered when a guy you like gets banned, "free speech" really means "it's their platform but I don't respect that".

Facebook, YouTube, and the like are publishers.

As a society, we did not have qualms before the internet about publishers declining to amplify the views of people like Alex Jones. Even in the absence of YouTube's support, he arguably has far more of a voice now than he did in the pre-internet days, before he could host his own website. He has that on top of all the traditional means of communication he always had, which includes passing out flyers and yelling in the street.

It is the responsibility of information disseminators to curate their content. Nobody is going to jail over these editorial choices, so the notion that this is a constitutional issue is pure hysteria. YouTube and Facebook are finally stepping up to the responsibility they have long owed us from the beginning.
I do remember hearing of a recount from one polling station in one county in the 2016 election being done on the paper backups, where they found there were many more electronic ballots counted than recorded on paper. It was explained away as user error (attempting to start over somehow not erasing your original vote), which I find worse than the stories about voting machine hackability...

The 1800yd range is based on a .338 Lapua round. That round requires a pretty hefty platform to remain stable.

Yes, I was thinking of something much larger than your typical consumer drone. I wasn't thinking of the little Mavic drone that lands in your hand. I suspect that it would be much smaller than a Predator, however.

I would love to see the drone platform that could hold a .338 rifle that steady half a mile in the air.

I should think there'd be some kind of gimbal involved.

Second, the system calculates the solution at the point of the trigger pull.

If you mean, "around the time the operator pulls the trigger."

This is fine if the movement is predictable (as it would be for a trained human). I suspect a drone is going to struggle mightily with a .338's recoil.

You're telling me that CIA contractors or other engineers couldn't engineer some kind of gimbal that would be more stable than a human operator? Making it lightweight and incorporating it into a drone would be difficult. I don't think it would be impossible or impractical.
I just looked at your home page and that just seems incredible to promise to your clients. Do you actually have writers taking this gig? I know of no professional copy (or other) writers that would write unlimited articles for $250 a month, esp. "on demand" and "in brand tone." Not to mention all the back and forth that goes with client writing.

Yes, your clients may get articles, but not quality articles (or even ones that read like they've been written by native English speakers or people who understand the topic). And if the marketing person has to rewrite everything, what's the point in buying it in the first place?
Not being American, and living somewhere where freedom of speech is not guaranteed, I don’t understand the problem.

Surely freedom of speech is different to freedom from consequence.

If I want I can legally (in the US) go about spreading hateful lies, but I better be prepared for the consequences of my actions. I can say what I want, but it doesn’t mean what I say is acceptable or that others have to like it.

If platform owners decide they don’t want me using their systems to promote my particular brand of racist demagoguery, well, fair enough.

There must be some sort of social responsibility. The Internet gives anyone with a bit of determination the reach and influence previously only available to large organisations, but with great power etc...

Yes it’s legal to say anything, but surely for those who do say things, especially to a large (and largely uncritical) audience there is an obligation to do so responsibly. By poisoning our shared information well with their vicious lies, Mr Jones and his ilk are being highly irresponsible and should be held to account.
Still very easy for people to bypass. Just pushes the adjudication into the "interpret screenshot" layer. The screenshot can be a completely valid Photoshop mockup that looks exactly like the client's specifications for the Rails app they hired you for, showing that you pretended to do the work.
We already have "the power." People just don't want to accept the responsibility of their own contribution to the demand of said pipelines.

While big business doesn't want to stop building pipelines, nobody wants to stop buying whatever comes out of them, either. It would be fun to see you try to convince the "working class" of the developing world to stop what they are doing and cease their from-behind pursuit of material wealth. You could try to bribe them but I'm not sure if that is what I would call sustainable.

With "workplace organizing" the benefits are immediate and obvious, and the eventual consequences, negative or otherwise, are not. Kind of thing where a wage increase is obvious, but the eventual outsourcing of your job for cheaper labor, or the eventual bankruptcy of the business when the pensions are due, is not.

We face the opposite problem here, since the effort involved (lifestyle changes) and the negative effects (higher taxes) are immediately obvious, while the benefits are neither immediate nor obvious.

Its more like you are trying to convince people to demand lower wages...

The problem itself (specific to AGW) is not even immediately obvious, apparently you need PhDs from multiple disciplines to understand the problem or you are dismissed with the Courtier's reply, leaving you reliant on an Appeal to Authority. That isn't necessarily wrong, but that is what you are dealing with. Manifesting change then depends on establishing complete faith in that authority or consensus, and, in contrast to a pay raise, the only thing you can utilize as motivation for change is guilt and fear. Then you have to be ensure that bad actors won't try to manipulate that fear via groupthink for less noble purposes... We don't have a great track record for that.

Anyway, I sort of think the seemingly fanatical calls for massive top-down solutions to this problem tends to do more to defeat or demoralize individual or bottom-up efforts, as you might promote, and seems designed to evoke increased permissiveness to those who seek mainly to centralize and expand corporate and government power.

Why didn't they go for a .su or .ru subdomain and a russian hosting company? I'm sure putin would welcome them with open arms.
Free speech is, in fact, primarily the right to say what you want, not the right to stop others from saying what they want. I admitted that the latter form is sometimes important, but that imparts no requirement on the rest of us to always agree with it.

>you and your property are deployed to support

In particular: "you and your property" is a much more general concept here then it might normally be. If I lend out my printing press to people then I should be able to say what they print with it. If I sell printing presses at a fair market rate, ie I am satisfied with my side of the transaction, then I shouldn't turn around and impose terms on the use of that press. These two things are qualitatively different, even though they both involve limiting the use of printing presses that were at one point mine.

Of all the things you could argue, I think this is explicitly not one of them. All the crazy and ridiculous things Alex says are in no way comporable to a direct call to violence or endangering Public safety with knowingly false statements.

In other words, Facebook is silencing free speech in a way that is definitely not covered if they must comply with the bill of rights.

I feel reasonably confident that desalination technology is currently sufficient to avoid civilization collapse and/or war.

Yes. But the experience up until now, is that desalinization is so much more expensive than other water sources, to the point that such plants often get mothballed when the other sources become available again.

UBI hasn't been about supplemental welfare for decades now. Most UBI proponents back it out of practical reality vs desire to aide the poor.

In 40-50, 100, 250, etc years, more jobs will be automated. The population will have grown, especially in the undeveloped and developing nations. And resource scarcity will have increased. UBI is simply being recognized as a tool to be utilized in managing that reality. At least, if and until we can become a spacefaring species not locked into a closed economic system with extremely finite resources.
The answers I read here are classic over engineering. Sometimes the simplest answer is the best answer, and you don't need to build a complex system. That is to say the same methods that are used to defend against a gun, either another gun to disarm the assailant (be it a person or drone) body armour. Killing the GPS, etc. are all good methods too, don't get me wrong, it's just that they may be more Factory.getFactory().getFactory().getInstance()... type of solutions. Initially just the same methods should work.
Nets would work to arrest and capture the drone, but to stop it you could probably get better results with a confetti like shot of something stringy and sticky. I bet long thin cotton or nylon thread would quickly tangle in the propeller, and sticky tape shards would disrupt the airflow properties of the propeller.

Easier said than done, though multiple car companies and charging companies are stepping up the kW their cars can handle. It'll be a mixture of faster charging, more battery storage overall, as well as more efficient use of electrons, all three helping with range/recharge issues.

Not sure I agree. In the history of humanity, religion has done much more damage than e.g. white nationalism.
Desalinization isn't a good example for the reasons you say, but theptip writes below that heating water in residential and commercial settings might be better. Since water once heated stays hot for a good while in the insulated storage tank. Also buildings can be heated with hot water instead of forced air, typically through pipes in the floor. Which is nicer because it keeps your feet toasty and doesn't dry out the room so badly.

A freezer is possibly another such use case, if it keeps the temperature to within +/- X degrees of the set temperature, it can delay kicking in during periods of expensive electricity, and over-cool during periods of cheap electricity.

I could load the washer or dryer and program it to run it when it's cheapest if I'm not in a hurry.

Charging an electric car could work the same way.

Air conditioners are a huge deal, my single biggest electricity consumer. In a world where things were smarter they would chill coolant/water/ice during times of cheap electricity, and that would be used to cool during the hot evenings.

The problem is I have no way to take advantage of any of that. The electric grid isn't giving me feedback on the spot price of electricity (and in many places they don't even break it down on the bill, showing just one value for $/kwH for the entire month - that's what my bill looks like.)

Even if that problem is resolved, my appliances are too dumb to take advantage of that information to optimize my costs.

The grid needs to convey the realtime pricing information to customers, and then smarter appliances will be developed to take advantage of that information. The market may be able to do a surprisingly effective job of moderating demand itself if both the information and the means to apply it are available.

A vehicle miles added tax would, in smart policy districts, allow the curbing of excessive car use, especially for a company like Uber or Lyft. There's also congestion tax, which many cities are already implementing. Some cities just straight up banned non-electric past a certain year, so we're already moving slowly to deal with traffic. I think we'll have the tools we need by the time it's a huge problem. In Boston, the traffic is pretty awful, there are just many cars shoved into a small area with infrastructure based on cow paths from original settlements.

The problems Intel has at 10nm are well covered by the tech press. And Intel has confirmed this to investors. The thing that is new here is the claim that internal documents show that Intel is rather more worried than people expected.

It's not really believable that Intel thinks it has no chance in servers. What I think is believable is that Intel will not be able to limit AMD's advance into their market share. This should start to show in next quarter's results, as AMD server product qualifications are finalised by large data centres (as AMD has pointed out in their briefings).

What I had believed until now is that Intel was essentially pivoting to a different strategy, moving away from traditional CPUs. But this article makes me believe they have just miscalculated and could be in for a rough few years (where rough, for Intel, is still making billions of dollars).

We have to separate the words from the action of saying those words. The words on Twitter do sometimes include slander and threats which would make them illegal. However, often the words themselves are perfectly legal. That doesn't mean the action of speaking those words are legal. Using your example, imagine someone standing just outside your property and yelling at you 24/7. The words themselves might not be a problem but it doesn't mean they can't be charged with any number of crimes from disturbing the peace to harassment. Social media bots can function in a similar way.
Interesting how this kind of news always drops whenever there is bad press about Facebook.
Station wagons have better aerodynamics than sedans. They are worse on weight distribution (more hanging mass, higher center of gravity) and chassis rigidity (which means they can't be as sporty). It's a shame no one makes an electric wagon, but SUVs are in fashion. In addition, SUVs make for easy battery placement: just take a standard chassis, raise it 10-15 cm, and put the batteries on the bottom.

You're right that pickups and commercial vehicles are the hardest markets for electric cars. Conquering those segments means the rest of the mass market would be completely dominated by electric cars. The United States will also be one of the last markets to be dominated by electric cars, because of its characteristics (long commutes, big distances, heavy car usage).
