The drone waits for the jet to come down below it, then leans sharply forward to chase it. In doing this, it drops quite a bit of altitude and hits probably a couple hundred miles an hour before it subsides and lets the jet fly on. The manuevers are quite plausible, the speed not so much. Unless the jet was actually a blimp shaped like a jet :)

But then you end up have to learn programming practices, engineering strategies, etc.

> I hope the classic interface you are talking about is same as the basic html view

No. There's are 3 interfaces: html, previous UI and new UI forced on users now. New UI apparently contains some features from Inbox product, and is much slower. You could opt out to use the old UI (dubbed Classic by Gmail) until yesterday. Now I can only choose between new UI and html.

That's an interesting example. While undoubtedly large, Walmart is still a brick and mortar shop, it's part of the short tail world. Walmart can press producers for significant discounts by simply affording them some of it's limited shelf space.

Amazon is "the everything store", the exponent of long tail online retail. If Amazon would employ the same tactics as Walmart, it would be quickly be out-competed by other online stores with a larger selection of products.

I know an ex-postdoc who's promising career was cut short by also identifying and exposing fraud. I suspect it's more common than we think, and it's thoroughly wrong that being honest and professional can ruin your career in a moment. If you find all your research was based on fabricated data, what choice do you have? Expose it, or knowingly continue the fraud and be equally culpable. You're ruined either way.

The deeper problem is the environment which drives people to commit fraud in the first place. These whistleblowers are victims of that.

As someone who left after my PhD due to not having a good publication record, I've seen the nature of the pressure to suceed at all costs to advance in your career. It's brutal. I doubt most start out with bad intentions, but fraud is the ticket to success for a significant minority.

Very entertaining article, thanks for that. I recognized a lot of my own a-ha moments w.r.t eBPF/bcc reading all the sections (especially the kern_version thing).

You seem to want to avoid either LLVM (understandable) or run-time compilation (would be great, but it's hard as you state).

> with a single data type: int

I was reading that too literally, because newbies usually find strings more interesting than ints. Anyway, you can use arrays of ints as strings. So :)

Anyway, I think that for new users it's more friendly if the ints, strings and functions have some magical tag to make errors more friendly, for example, what happens if someone uses

prints(7)

?

The graph with the pointers links looks nice (it even shows the string) but the font is too small. It would be nice to add a zoom to it.

What is the internal representations of functions? If I prints a function I get some weird characters.

It's still a massive source of revenue and it's what made these cartels big in the first place. Otherwise, they wouldn't be called "drug cartels".

It would drastically reduce the problem, just like ending the prohibition on alcohol drastically reduced, but didn't eliminate, Mafia activities.

There are people actively experimenting with manipulating people through feeding a process which produces division. They have confessed to this [1]. Some people are choosing to bet against Tesla as a result of this. The knowledge doesn't come with the disclaimer when you get it secondhand.

But, you're right that I'm speaking too broadly when I say it is a bet against all renewable energy. Thank you for removing this speck from my eye. I appreciate it.

As to your being offended by my reference: First off let me be clear that Elon Musk is a man. He cries the tears of a man. He has the many failings of a man. Many talks in which he describes his life makes it clear that he hates it and would not recommend it to others. Part of what is feeding into that these days is the cruelty directed toward him, much of which is not fully justified by the ever so slight nature of his failings.

Now as to your attempt to show Elon Musk as having done some sort of wrong? Let me remind you of some of your rusty scripture:

Jesus Christ talks about the many mansions of his father. He does not need to buy them. He made them. All things are made by and for him. Therefore, I'm not about to condemn someone for having mansions, in isolation from the rest of their deeds [2]. Solomon also had incredible wealth. Rather than calling that evil, Jesus Christ described Solomon as wise.

As to bailing out family? Jesus Christ came to save us, despite our sins. A healthy person doesn't need a healer. Moreover, we are described in scripture as children of God. So I'm also not about to condemn a person for trying to help someone related to them. Especially since I consider the continuance of solar deployment to be a moral /good/. That said, I've read the reviews of SolarCity. Clearly SolarCity is falling well short of the rest of Tesla given customer reviews of the company. Hopefully they manage to get things together at some point. That would be wonderful. Eventually, I expect solar to be a dominant provider of energy. It seems to me like a good long-term investment.

[2]: TL;DR for the people who didn't read the article: He bought mansions. The mansion are near another. He converted one it into a school for his kids and others he knew who presumably were interested in attending. The other was for his wife, who was interested in having the option of alternate living arrangements. Another is thought to house security staff. It is a tabloid piece, trying to make a sordid story of Elon Musk's personal life for the entertainment of gawkers.
The discussion about whether metric, imperial or any other system inherently makes more sense has been beaten to death.

You can usually say that any given measurement system has intrinsic properties to recommend it, but I think any such discussion usually devolves into the same sort of nonsense as whether any two very different natural languages are inherently better than one another.

Is English a better natural language than Chinese, or the other way around? I bet if you polled their native speakers on that, even you selected ones who were close to bilingual in the two, they'd usually like their native language better.

It's very hard for people to step outside of themselves and recognize their cognitive biases. But it does tell you something that people who grew up with the imperial system are more likely to argue for its advantages, and the same for people who grew up with metric. It's not like it's genetic.

> [...]notice how nearly every euro thermostat has decimals so you can set it to 17.5[...]

This is an interesting point I hadn't heard before, but for the sake of consistency, do you think the US dollar is also an inherently inelegant currency because it has fractional values, as opposed to some other currencies that don't? Does the very existence of cents on the dollar annoy you as you go about your business?

If you hold that view and you grew up with the imperial system and think 17.5 Celsius makes no sense, I congratulate you on your consistency.

But I'm willing to bet that this isn't even a thing you'd noticed or thought of, which is indicative of the cognitive bias of just trying to find reasons for disliking what you're unfamiliar with, even when those reasons can be perfectly transposed on other things with which you are familiar.

Side note: By "unfamiliar" I'm not claiming that say a European who dislikes the imperial system doesn't understand it, or the other way around. But as with natural languages measurement systems are something where it's hard to truly become "bilingual" as an adult.

You can argue (and I think you'd be right) that say metric is simpler, but is it better by some objective metric in the minds of its users than imperial? Who knows. I could also try to argue with a native Chinese speaker that their writing system is overly complex, and I'm sure I'd get millions of them that would think I was crazy.
Then why not take the evaluation down to that level? Why do we even need brand level proxies in 2018? It would probably be best if we evaluated down to the article level of granularity, at least.

>What happens when an automated system sends you a message?

I'm not sure I see the problem. I don't want automated emails in my Inbox. Period.

For the few ones that you'd think I want (e.g. overdue notices), they are in my "other" list - those that don't go into either my inbox or my quarantine - so they don't get an autoresponse email. But frankly, there are very few automated emails that I want.

As an example, I've set up Zillow alerts that tell me if a house in my neighborhood is on sale, or has been sold. In one sense, I do want these emails, but I simply don't want them in my inbox. They remain quarantined, and I'll see them whenever I check my quarantine pile. Most of the sites I intentionally signed up for because they occasionally will send me something useful - they all still go to my quarantine pile. I don't need them in my inbox intermingling with more important emails.

>How do you handle the backscatter problem (ie when spammers spoof the sender address causing your helpful challenge messages to be sent to someone random who then complains..).

If the spoofed email is in my whitelist, they don't get an email. If not, what exactly is the problem? That some random stranger got an email from me? That's just spam for them - I doubt they'll even notice. At best, they may realize someone is using their email address as a From in a spam email.

At least in the 1+ year of running this, none of these has been problems.
That is a comprehensive list, which I know most normal folks could never do.

Many PhD programmes are now four years with the first year being rotations in several labs doing short projects for a few months each. At the end, you can decide which supervisor is the best fit and work on a mutually interesting project proposal. (I wish I had this option in retrospect)
>If I think this approach is really effective, it also creates a huge pain for a lot of tools relying on emails such as WebEx invites or when you want to contact someone for sales.

I haven't used WebEx, but what is the problem exactly? Are you concerned you won't see the invite or that the sender will get an annoying automatic response?

Incidentally, this is all just a Python script. If you can construct a reasonable enough pattern for the email address, you can always have custom rules for them - it's fairly trivial. Just like I have a list where emails go straight to quarantine without producing an annoying email.

>or when you want to contact someone for sales.

My original design was to automatically whitelist anyone I send email to - in the end I didn't go that far, but it will likely alleviate this problem. My solution is mostly for my own personal email, though. If you plan to conduct a lot of business where you expect/want random people you don't know to email you, then this scheme won't work well.

>As a result I think that this approach might be better if it was for instance triggered only on emails with an “Unsubscribe” link, or on emails with specific keywords.

I just did a query. Fully one third of the quarantined emails do not have the word "unsubscribe".

I like this and I'm in favor of decentralization. However, it's hard to imagine decentralized beating centralized when centralization has such a huge economic incentive. We need to create an environment where people and developers are incentivized to use/build decentralized systems. Maybe through law? Like a carbon tax would incentivize people to buy EVs. Data tax.

The NHS and Wikipedia seem to disagree with you:

Google's conversion in search results states it is a half liter for some reason. Maybe it assumes "imperial pint" means "metric pint"?

Are you sure? Wikipedia [1] disagrees with you.

> pinte	1	~952.1 ml	~2.01 pint	~1.68 pint	Although etymologically related to the English unit pint, the French pint is about twice as large. It was the main small unit in common use, and measured 1/36 of a cubic French foot.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_measurement_in_France...
Not the person you replied to, but I believe it depends on region and terminology:

> In Canada, the Weights and Measures Act (R.S. 1985), which has the laws in English and French printed side-by-side, defines a pint in English as 1/8 of a gallon, but defines a pinte in French as 1/4 of a gallon.[10] Thus, if you speak English and order "a pint of beer", servers are legally required to serve you 568 ml of beer,[11] but if you speak French and order "une pinte de bière", they are legally required to serve an Imperial quart (une pinte), which is 1136 ml—twice as much.[12] To order an Imperial pint when speaking French in Canada, one must instead order une chopine de bière.

By capping to 25km/h they can likely stay within the regulations for small mopeds (not even requiring a proper driver licence and having relaxed requirements for the vehicle). If they go to 45km/h they would be treated as a regular scooter that requires a regular drivers licence (or a smaller one for slow vehicles). If they go 100km/h they would be treated as a motorcycle, requiring a special driver licence for motorcycles, and having to comply to safety requirements for motorcycles etc.

I don't think we will see them going over 45 km/h in Europe

Funnily enough I once got into a fight with the owner of a bar, who had an happy hour where the pinte would sell for the price of the demi (half pint). However the demi was the same size of the pint served in thicker glasses. He claimed that since France is a metric country he had no legal obligation to call half a liter of beer a pint.

It's basically made Prime feel useless for its original purpose of free shipping on warehouse items, because if I'm buying most things that would come out of their warehouse I'd rather pay for shipping direct from a specific vendor because I don't trust anything shipped from Amazon. Maybe it's still worthwhile for other services (music, video, groceries, whatever).

Sure I can get my money back if I get a detectable counterfeit, but what about my time dealing with it and without having what I ordered? And what about items that aren't easily detected as fake but which are notably substandard when used (e.g. odd-size or lithium batteries that die in 6 months rather than 2 years)? It's not like ordering from Amazon is really notably cheaper than other options these days anyway.

How does this solve problems of data leaks? Let's say some social network uses this Solid framework and you login with your Solid POD. Can't the social network then just save your data into a database? Now when the social network gets hacked millions of personal data is still released into the wild?

What I'd like to see, is every device run a small process which can read the user's data. Html then has a syntax that can be interpreted like

{{ solid://mydata/name }}

{{ solid://mydata/profile.jpg }}

{{ solid://mydata/age }}

etc.

That data is on the user's device encrypted. Apps can never read your data, they can only tell your device to display that data.

That way developers cannot read your data, store them in their own databases, and then accidentally get their own database hacked and we are back to square one.

I'd like the data on your device to be encrypted and have some type of homomorphic encryption such that if an app were to show average age of users, then an app would be able to run some sort of `select average(age) from users` but since the encryption is homomorphic, the app never learns information about any individual user. This would apply for machine learning operations too, so that we could get netflix style recommendations of movies, without a company ever learning what movies we liked, our age, etc.

However, I don't know the first thing about homomorphic encryption so I guess I just have to wait until some great soul builds something like this for us.
