From the opinion:

"The trial court's grant of relief was reversed on appeal, the New York Court of Appeals ultimately concluding that there was no "taking," since the Landmarks Law had not transferred control of the property to the city, but only restricted appellants' exploitation of it."

The plaintiffs wanted to tear down the building. They weren't allowed to. They were otherwise allowed to do whatever they wanted with the building as long as its visual features remained intact. This is not a taking. And it turns out that requiring them to maintain the station was the right decision in the long run--the station is now far more profitable than it would have been as just another crappy NYC office tower.

Note also that Wickard v. Filburn reached the appropriate conclusion. In that case, a man grew wheat for sale and sold at least part of his production to out-of-state buyers. He grew more of it than allowed due to war-time restrictions, and used the excess to feed his own livestock. The court ruled that this violated the law. And that was completely correct. If he hadn't grown any excess, he would have needed to feed his livestock out of his permitted stock of grain, and would have had less to sell (if any) to others. Thus, a direct effect on interstate commerce.

Yeah I do the same. I buy a ~200 euro/dollar/pounds phone every 2-3 years. I'd love to work out how much money I've saved over the last two decades while always having a decent phone in my pocket.

It's getting more difficult now that Nexus is no more but Xiaomi and the other Chinese manufacturers are stepping up in that game. The Android One progamme is a saviour in that respect.
I don't want to give up, I just want to see what people actually want out of content/publishers/journalism...

just for example - asking HOW/WHAT to change got me downvoted here... how can the creative publishing industry survive if it's being punished for asking what would be better?
I don't think the article sets out to answer this specific question, but is face to face time inherently better than online interaction in terms of workplace productivity?

Maybe the counter intuitive nature of open office layouts is actually better because it has people communicating faster over email.
> They're enot Amazon's main employees, developers are.

According to [0] (page 30), Amazon's median compensation was $28,446. Where's your justification that either "main employees" are way less than half of Amazon's total employees or $30K/year is a normal developer salary.

Great numbers and congratulations to Tesla. If we as a country are going to lessen our dependence on fossil fuels companies like Tesla will need to lead the way.

Just a side note that Tesla received a ~$500m loan from the US government back in 2009, which was paid back in 2013 (the loan went out to some other automakers for electric vehicle R&D), and I believe the tax break on electric cars are still valid. Tesla is a really nice example of there being a problem that is both in the interest of the public and private sector to solve, and those sectors working together to innovate.

Dream big, but be realistic.

If you set your goal at an unfathomable amount of net worth, then you lose focus on the problem you're trying to solve, and basically set your self up for failure.

A good example of this is [1] marshmallow challenge, which is a challenge where you build a tower out of spaghetti and balance a marshmallow on top. The biggest tower wins. The organiser discovered that if he offered a $10,000 prize to the highest structure... No one could build anything, the pressure of a large incentive would overwhelm people and the marshmallow would collapse the hastily designed structure.

The lesson is to solve a problem iteratively and not to focus on the reward. This is how large companies like FAMG do it too. Not try to make a multi-billion dollar business from day one.

That's right! Though in the first, it would be "de eles" rather than "do eles", as "do" is a contraction of "de o", and one wouldn't say "de o eles".

To add further confusion: "de eles" is usually contracted to "deles", but only if "eles" is not a subject in the statement :)

The CO2 expenditure of the whole operation, including mining, milling, and transport, has been calculated to be about 4% of the amount of CO2 that is captured by the olivine. The financial cost of mining, milling, and transporting rock is about $7/ton.

We are not planning to do any new mining for the first allotments of olivine though, as there are literally "tons" of piles of olivine-rich rock sitting as "tailings" on the property of old mines.

This already excavated rock was mined in the pursuit of the mineral deposits below it and are considered "waste" by these mines. Kind of like buying a used car instead of having a new one created, that rock's CO2 is already accounted for. So, in this case, we do not have to mine it, only transport (ideally in an efficient manner like a train) and then mill it and spread it on the beach.

Cash creates the same conflict of interest. If someone shows up at your door with a "free" wheelbarrow full of cash, you're going to feel like you owe them in return. This could be looking out for their business interests, or as you said, ensuring code compatibility. And, in the back of your mind you might consider that keeping them happy could lead to another wheelbarrow at your door.
Yes, solar seems like it will continue to drop in price and you'd probably want to leverage that savings too.

A mass produced portable compressor unit could also be neat. Something for around the home. A 1kw to 3kw unit could be nice to make dry ice. You practically need to have AC if you want to work in Florida or other tropical climate. There is a big market for AC combined with solar in the U.S. since folks want AC and a good chunk probably also want to use solar. Given that you want cooling at night, a solar powered dry ice maker might be able to compete with solar + battery + AC. The panels can feed directly into the compressor to make the night's dry ice rather than storing the energy in a battery and running the compressor at night.

The bonus is that any efficiency gains in the dry ice maker could be applied to processes further down stream that make methane or heavier hydrocarbons. You get a solar cooling solution and something that could be helpful when bootstrapping synth gas production.

Let me fix that.

>Some progress is real.

Let me similarly point three cherry-picked stats that show the world is getting worse, to point out how flawed that reasoning is.

* The percentage of the population living under democracies has gone down since 2000.

* Wealth concentration and income inequality have risen since the 1970s.

* Suicides have gone up.

If there is one thing I realise is that only technological progress marches on. The rest of "progress" (social, political) almost never goes unequivocally "forwards", and is subject to setbacks and upturns and reversals of previously achieved progress.
I agree. The Neatos with their LIDAR are way better.

I actually hooked up an ESP12 to it to have internet access to the vacuum functionality, from starting a job, the raw lidar data, or manually moving it.

The interesting thing is just four years ago, Writer Nikil Saval penned his book on cubicles and postulated about why cubicles made us all miserable and opined for more open office spaces:

https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/04/our-cub...

Four years later and we still see plenty of backlash from the open office concept. Is there a sweet spot somewhere in the middle, or will there be a sort of hybrid cubicle/open office concept in the near future?

I'm curious to see what the future holds for office spaces if neither of these are decent solutions.

Market hysteria is a thing. The people who trust the investor will buy/sell and the panic from the sudden influx causes a greater fluctuation. It's essentially chaotic but it's not unreasonable.

If the stock market were predictable there would be no money to be made.

I think GraphQL makes more sense here, at least in terms of unifying backend services and presenting them to a user—aka an API gateway—but this could be a very useful way to transmit GraphQL queries and subscriptions and for sidecar services like authentication, or just very simple services.
> Are you talking about someone crediting a webpage without attempting to attach the name of the author? I have never seen this in academic research, ever. Can you link to an example?

Let's continue with the Google Ngrams example. All I had to do was search Google Scholar for "Google Ngrams" to find easy examples on the first page of results, like this one: http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W14-1611

The paper is written by famous Stanford researchers, and they do not cite a single author of their data. Just URLs in footnotes.

This also happens to my research (ConceptNet) all the time. The fact that you haven't noticed it doesn't mean I'm making it up.

I don't see why you think researchers not giving credit for data is a different topic from what I brought up. What I said was, researchers in my field are in the habit of not giving credit for data, and instead they have adopted the convention of using half-assed footnotes with URLs in them, which is not appropriate credit. I speculate that one reason for this habit is that data often comes from inconveniently non-academic sources and would look bad in the bibliography. The habit is so pervasive that authors remain in the habit even when a paper exists.
I can't help but think that both of those issues are eminently solvable. In the case of teachers, focus on making a product for the teachers, then charge them either a flat fee or a percentage, ala kickstarter or patreon.

Indeed.

For all the talk about "range anxiety", it is a real concern that only Tesla seems to be actively working towards eliminating.

I've needed to drive across the country every year for the past 4 years, and allocating extra days to stop and charge was never an option. That's one aspect where my cheap Honda beats most electric vehicles. For EV to go truly mainstream, that should not be the case.
Time use studies support what you're saying:

https://www.bls.gov/tus/charts/household.htm

The most time consuming activity in households is food preparation.

The other way that cookbots can be addressed is by preparing food in kitchens and then shipping it out at very low cost. Autonomous vehicles are ideal for that. The food can then either be prepared by people or robots in commercial kitchens.
How about a better Roomba? One that can handle obstacles and cables, intelligently avoid dog poop, can always find its way back to home base for a charge, etc.
Full dosclosure: I am a roboticist. I've been in the field professionally for about thirty years.

I'm really skeptical that there is anything “after the roomba”. Or, to be more specific, I'm skeptical that technology used in the home will look anything like a robot, a self-contained intelligent machine that moves around and cleans/folds laundry/does dishes.

Ther are a couple of reasons for this. This first is that these problems are extremely hard to solve. And this is not true just in terms of algorithms, but also in terms of hardware. A humanoid robot is as complex as, if not more complex than, an automobile. Currently, humanoid robots go for $500,000 a pop. Even after economies of scale it's hard for me to imagine that getting below $50,000 — much less $5,000, which is probably the price range that makes them viable as anything other than a novelty for wealthy people.

Which brings up the second point. One thing I have learned the hard way in robotics is that you have to understand precisely what your competition is and how much money that competition requires to solve the problem. In the case of an in-home robot, for most of us the competition is our own labor or that of our significant others/kids/housemates. But we are not the early adopters of this technology. Wealthy people are. For wealthy people, the competition is either a live-in assistant or a contract cleaning service. Contract cleaning services pay their workers approximately minimum wage. Minimum wage is a very difficult price target for a robot to meet.

And the third issue is that to first approximation these problems are already solved. And not by what we would consider a robot, but by appliances. My grandmother, for most of her life, kept house without elecricity, and hence without a dishwasher, vacuum, or dryer. These appliances dramatically reduced the effort it takes to keep house, without being robots. I strongly suspect that any cost-efficient solution to folding clothes or taking dirty dishes from the sink and turning them into clean dishes in a cupboard will resemble an appliance. If you want your dishes cleaned robotically, then you don't put a robot in the kitchen. You turn the kitchen into a robot.
I think you're overstating the problem with carbon released from decaying wood.

Trees newly planted now will net-absorb carbon for the next 50-100 years, exactly the time period when we need to bring the carbon balance under control until we have our energy used cleaned up and other technologies developed. When the newly planted forest matures, trees fall and rot, but new growth takes their place. So it doesn't release a large amount of carbon, but enters a steady state roughly carbon-neutral.

Just making sure to reply to each person that raised a concern. There is a lot of fraud that comes into every single cloud provider as root access to a virtual server can be used for a lot of malicious activity. As a result every cloud provider has automatic and manual processes that they run to find these accounts and flag them.

In the case of DigitalOcean when an account is flagged it is locked, which simply prevents a user from creating more resources and an email notification goes out to the user to establish a line of communication.

There is no service interruption, and certainly the account, it's droplets, and other resources are not deleted, and never deleted automatically when the account is initially flagged.

There are numerous communications that go out even if a user is unresponsive.
Not sure if fully remote is the best goal. What if a company is fully remote, except for ~10 employees in a city who request an office at the local downtown co-working space? That kind of flexibility would be ideal, IMO.

> Nobody’s stopping you from installing those apps if you want - an offline Maps app, Signal, Firefox with uBlock.

I never said otherwise. Again, you can't install a system-wide adblocker.

> It might not be the system default app, but I’m not sure how that’s a fundamental loss of privacy

Because if it's harder to use on every use, you won't use it.

> Sure, you need an Apple ID, but how hard is it to generate a throwaway account for that purpose?

In that respect, it's exactly like a Google account. I never claimed otherwise. The fact that it's tied to things you do like apps you download and where you search allows deanonymization, just like in the Google case.

> Nobody ever said you had to use one that was tied to your actual identity.

Except if you want to build apps for your own device that you don't want to reinstall weekly. On Android, nobody has to know anything about you, even if you want to develop for your own device, which should not result in loss of privacy on a platform that respects privacy.

> I don’t know where you read that Apple IDs can’t be deleted - on https://privacy.apple.com/ if you sign in there’s a nice big Delete your Account button.

Thanks for this link. Somebody created an Apple ID with my email address, and after I took over their account, I could not figure out how to delete it from the Apple ID Account page, and a search doesn't return that privacy page. It's way harder to find than Facebook's delete account page.

The attestation API can be used to detect probable root, but that's not the only thing it does. It can be used to detect if an APK is modified(and thus probably cracked) or not. There are various things you can check for and you can allow rooted phones while disallowing modified APKs.

The laws were different back then. The State Dept changed the rules a decade or more ago, I forget when, and AES 256 has been the default cipher ever since. Encryption is listed as a munition. I would have gone to jail if I put anything greater than 40-bit encryption on the shareware sites. Look what happened with Phil Z with PGP.
I think you misunderstood my argument - apologies for not being clearer.

There is a difference between a company's _incentives_ to do something that is permitted by law - for which I would agree that said company is worthy of criticism to a reasonable extent - and that which a company is _compelled to do so by law._

My point was that Tim Cook's speech was largely to prevent scenarios that would lead to law-makers wanting to create laws like the latter. And Apple _should_ get credit that they have a bunch of incentives to collect user data at will, like many other tech companies, but explicitly avoid that as company policy.
Amazing results - I am especially taking great pleasure in watching the shorts get decimated.

If you think of rigorous code reviews as brutal, you're seeing it the wrong way. Reviews are about the code, not the people that write it, and the process of reviewing means teaming up to make sure it will be the best it can be.

If its really sloppy, bend your boss' ear and see if they agree. If so, develop a plan of action with your boss to get things up to standard for everyone.

If it's sloppy and terrible and no one wants to change, find a new job.
Cheers! That's a great example.
Wait I thought AWS made you pay if you got hit with a DDoS or even a moderate amount of traffic. It's just there is no cap on costs if you have any kind of autoscaling enabled. There use to be many posts complaining about surprise charges on AWS.
And depending on the amount of code, that's an awesome trade-off if OP can just have one instance instead of managing a cluster.

From what OP has said, there's probably a good change they can get more performance with some optimization.
