Right: It's really annoying when some people peddle "rags to riches" stories where -- upon a bit more digging -- you realize that the protagonist was actually nowhere near "rags" status and that their family's affluence or connections were key factors in them being able to event attempt their lucky moon-shot.
Furthermore, some languages tend to attract less skilled programmers, in part due to having lower barrier of entry and requiring less domain knowledge for being able to crank out something functional, quickly.

This is beyond the pale and is not consistent with democracy or basic human rights.

No democracy will subject people to the indignity of security personnel presuming the right to go through their personal papers and thoughts. It is dehumanizing and shifts the pendulum towards a police state.
I mean somewhat objectively, not people's perception of it.

Today a person can communicate with anyone anywhere instantly, be almost anywhere in the world in a matter of hours, or get almost everything they would ever need in their entire life without leaving their house.

Sure we had planes and telephones in the '60s, and maybe we'll have teleporters and artificial telepathy in the future, but you know what I mean.

Rather than being an individual launch, I'm wondering if the exhaust from transfers (from LEO to other orbits) leave gases in their own orbit, and if a particular transfer is happening a lot, the gasses would accumulate in their own distinct orbit.

Context: I worked on a satellite that observed interesting phenomenon that appeared in low-visible-light around the Earth, and one of the things we picked up as noise was the gas from a spy satellite doing a transfer near the Earth-Sun line of sight.

I think the point is that since we have OOM more wealth, we are looking at some sort of asymptotic behaviour, right?

So if you expected wealth to be connected to happiness, and the connection is linear, you would expect happiness to be similarly off the scale.

It doesn't seem to be the case, so maybe it's something like a logarithm, so there's still an upward slope but it's barely anything.

I talked about the need for proper QA. About thoroughly testing my changes.

Though somewhat beside the point, if you have a dedicated test team, know that I don't trust my test infrastructure to catch all your screw-ups anymore than you have confidence that there won't be any. If it passes the tests, I'm pretty confident we didn't break anything, but it can wait until Monday, right?

On to the point, everyone has to do this once. We've all got a story (I have an anthology). If you're confident that a lesson has been learned, no reason to belabor the point.
I think $3500? At it's peak it was making around $200/m, so that is a bit more than the 12x monthly rate that websites used to go for. It was making a fair bit less when I sold, though, I just didnt have the time to keep it updated.

In hindsight, there are some websites I used to run that I really wish I could tell my younger self to keep running. I had a little video site (pre-youtube) that was doing well, a few forums (although those were an absolute pain to keep active), a link shortener (that got my server shut down over, as spammers found it useful), a music video site for myspace.

When I was 15, I hired a programmer on scriptlance to build me a php script to run a site I had sketched up. The project never really materialized, but the programmer I hired was none other than a (then 15~ year old) Guillermo Rauch, who later went on to author socket.io, mongoose, and found Zeit. I like to think I did my small part to help him on his path to being such a prolific programmer :]
To be fair it has flipped considerably, if you consider the extremists in each group.

In the 2000s the extremist conservatives wanted to censor everything (mostly due to religion) and liberals wanted freedom of expression.

Now it seems that extreme liberals want to censor "hate speech" which is absolutely valid, however the lines are moving or getting blurry to the point where they want to censor conservative ideas altogether, and conservatives want "freedom of expression".

I've seen this shift and I'm sure many others have as well.

There are two kinds of lessons you can learn when you mess up:

1. Be more careful next time so that you're less likely to make the same mistake again.

2. Fix the system so that nobody can make that kind of mistake again.

Learning lesson #1 will means that you're less likely to make the same, but learning lesson #2 will prevent you and your team from making that same mistake.

For something that's as easy to test as "is the site working", the real lesson there is that you set up your deployment system so that the website needs to respond to a health check before the deploy finishes.

> The most important part of UBI is universal

The U is the most important, but is more clear in the form where it is “unconditional”; it doesn't refer to replacing all other programs programs (particularly most visions do not have it replacing programs that are not means-tested benefit programs but instead are earned entitlements such as Social Security), it refers to the absence of means and behavior tests.

I'm sort of a Mulally fan, he I think was fairly critical in how smoothly the 777 development was for Boeing - and was passed up to be CEO of Boeing, and went to Ford as CEO instead. But I wonder that today Ford is in something a problem spot, and how much of that (if any) is attributable to Mulally.

""Fleet" is longstanding car industry lingo. Not something Tesla dreamed up to keep you under their boot."

I am aware of that and I hear that terminology used by rental car companies and equipment dealers, etc.

My objection is to what I hear as a subtle difference - the post-sale automobile to a private, end-user is still referred to as belonging to their fleet - as if one's ownership and use of the car were a minor detail.

I dislike this subtle shift in language and attitude.

The DNC Looks Increasingly Incompetent When It Comes to Cybersecurity
If you read the post again, you'll see my use of "limited educational and career opportunity for women" was referring to the reference to the "evil patriarchy" of the past, not the present, which I do believe is better.

But that being said, there are still plenty of factors working against women in parts of the education system and the workplace.
They count the Great Lakes as well, including all of the Michigan lobe of Michigan-Superior.

I'm a bit surprised they don't also count everywhere within 100 mi of the doors into the international terminals of every international airport. If you're going to set an arbitrary limit without legislative oversight, why not set it in a way that maximizes your agency's own power?

What's magical about 100 miles, anyway? It seems very suspiciously based on a power of ten of a specific unit of measure, and not on any real distance that may be supported by statistics or analysis. I'd say draw the line where you have a 95% certainty that any persons encountered on the border side of it just crossed over. Which is to say that the border patrol would have to stay on the border side of any major highway, and would need to pay attention to where the boats come and go.
> lack of governance

Lesser government power is not the same as lack of governance. Indeed, government having the power to pick and choose winners and losers is fundamentally unjust and violates the rights of the people.

> Greenspan and Co's systematic dismantling of regulations directly led to the financial crisis, fraud and a 4 trillion bailout.

The "deregulation" narrative makes for a good story, but it's not that true. There are several examples of additional government intervention which played an important role:

- Incentives for sub-prime mortgages. The government provided incentives for banks to provide mortgages to people who normally wouldn't have a good enough standing. This was done in the name of helping minorities buy houses.

- Previous bailouts. The government bailed out banks multiple times in the past. When banks make risky loans and investments, fail, and then get bailed out by government because they're "too big to fail", this signals to the banks that they should keep being riskier and risker, because the government will cover their risk.

- Housing incentives. The mortgage rebate on income tax is a direct incentive for people to buy expensive houses instead of renting or buying within their means.

- Monetary policy. The Fed unnaturally driving inflation and interest rates distorts investment and development. This is covered extensively by Business Cycle Theory.
Ive been picturing the rail problem for some time as well.

Not just for cars, but also for cargo... just have a constant gondola-like conveyer that detaches a platform from the line to slow it enough to allow for cargo to get on, then re-zip-it backinto the line and speed it along, de-rail it once it hits its exit/location...

ideally though, in cities, there would be no surface streets and all cars would have their own level below that of bikes pedestrians.

What would SF look like if a superstructure was built above all streets and all pedestrian and bike traffic was moved up there? (sure, SF may be a poor example, so just select [city])

Look at Singapore's vast underground connecting malls between facilities. Those are pretty amazing.

I grade US urban/city planners rather poorly.

I don't think we have to go back to carbs with manual chokes (not that it was all that bad anyways), but frankly an electronic TBI like GM put on the very last generation I small block Chevy engines (with wasted spark ignitions instead of a distributor) would have been a good place to stop (as they're dead simple to work on and program unlike a lot of newer FI setups, and overcome the major problems with carbs like needing altitude and temperature compensation).
Then make the benefit universal (like UBI), and adjust tax brackets of the wealthy to ensure they don't directly benefit.

I know it doesn't refer to replacing all other programs.

Regardless, the idea of "earned entitlements" is a lie, and they should be ended. UBI being available in their place is a handy way to get rid of them.
I came to WPF having not touched WinForms for nearly a decade and I fell in love immediately.

Once you accept that reactive data models are the 'correct' pattern things become so much simpler.

Throw in JSON.net and QuickType (amazing if you haven't seen it, feed it JSON or JSON Schema and it outputs correct code to serialize to from JSON in about 25 languages pretty much idiomatically (for C# it uses JSON.net for TypeScript interfaces and if you want it runtime validation).

It's a remarkably stable way of hoisting an API.

Tesla insiders say 'it's a s--tshow' under beleaguered Elon Musk
I suspect it's never been tried because the cost necessary to get from where we are now to there outweighs the potential benefit compared to more conventional transit solutions, carpooling, etc. Once automated driving gets to a point where it's possible to implement "autopilot-only" lanes (and doing so gets past the sociopolitical hurdles), I suspect those will come into play too, though.
> it will end up being used to fulfil interrogation/arrest/etc. quotas

FTFY
That's a reasonable starting assertion, I guess, but all kinds of things have long histories of use without precluding the validity of using other things. Sometimes things get used because of inertia. Sometimes things get used because people who don't really know the difference say things like "we definitely must use X" (historically X might be a megacorp technology company like SAP or Oracle or IBM) despite Y being just as good or better.

For instance, did you know that Windows XP has a long history of being used in military embedded devices that store user data (on a writeable, obviously, FAT32 file system) where the way you turn them off is to just cut the power? I shit you not. I've seen state-of-the-art Navy-used sonars where the internal computer was running Windows, and you would transfer data off of the internal hard drive by FTP over Ethernet, and it had no on/off switch, just power or no power.
I don't know how I can put it more simply: it's definitely not true that any able bodied person can attend Burning Man.
We have a company policy to never deploy on Friday, and only under ideal circumstances on Thursday. This protects everyone from unneeded overtime and panicking clients during off hours.

It's one of the central policies to ensure happy clients and smooth running operations that gets regular review and questions from clients when they are in a hurry. But when it was implemented, stress levels across the board plummeted. And only a small amount of client education was needed before they agreed it was a good policy.

There are emergency circumstances that override this rule of course.
>I've given more than one presentation where the survey has included some variant of both "Way too basic" and "Went way over my head."

When I was explaining some of the finer points of pointers (pun not intended), like star star argv (pointers to pointers etc. - in the C course), one of them said: "now it is overhead transmission" :)

It's a psyops game. The Nazis, the police, drill instructors and domestic abusers all play it. People are more pliable when you instill panic and confusion in them. Yell at them, make them think they're doing everything wrong and that they could get shot at any moment and they'll generally fixate on compliance.
It's fascinating how technology, moods, fashion and status have sort-of followed each other.

I know Beau Brummell introduced the austere, well-coiffed style that sort of evolved to the modern suit[1] (likely helped by the dyes mentioned in the article). The Modern suit was also helped along by being a product of mass productions, as John Berger outlines[2].

The standard color of the suit had shifted from black to dark blue by the 1970s when I was growing up, John T. Malloy described the dark blue suit as a non-negotiable element of proper business attire.

And the rise of effective dyes in the 1960s meant that happy, colorful looks were universal as the casual look.

I think all this went into the late 70s/early-80s tendency of punks to wear black, which would now imply rebellion though that didn't prevent fusion of high fashion and rebellion later.

And that's a small fragment of all the ways these things have gone.

So what do you guys think: hunter-gatherers, then feudal farmers and then now - how does median/average suffering per capita compare?

We all have better luxuries now than kings had hundreds of years ago. Less famine, life threatening situations and so on. But we do have a way to compare ourselves with best parts of lives of many interesting people around the world. We have antibiotics and painkillers, but we also seem to have way more options and anxiety.

I'd assume there's much less physical pain. But what about suffering that can be caused by things like depression?

Do you think it's about the same, much better, slightly worse?
There are plenty of sex work concepts in Switzerland. The German countries cater to carnal desires very efficiently.

Even if your automation is great, there’s often a series of events that goes like this:

Error discovered -> Call person responsible -> Roll back

It’s not just about whether you have the ability to fix the error, it’s about whether deploying on Friday is likely to disrupt people’s personal lives. Or, put another way, it’s not kind to deploy on Friday, it’s selfish. It looks good if you push out features quickly, and if it blows up someone else has to take time out of their weekend. On my team ops controls releases and if you miss the Thursday build you’re not getting anything in production until Monday.
