OK. I can put on coffee.

Seriously, I was on TV in Connecticut for nearly 30 years. Where I lived was common knowledge. I'd often meet someone whose friend had told them I lived in their neighborhood.

Only once did someone knock on my door just to say hello. Most people are respectful and there are dozens of other clues to where I live since I run a business there.

I appreciate your concern, really.
A robot with computer vision could easily tell apart maize from soy from squash (different colors, react under polarized light differently, leaf size, plant structure, etc). The real problem is that
1. squash has limited commercial value.
2. corn grows to 8' tall while soy is only a couple feet. The corn would block all the sun from the soy. When you plan a field full of corn it all grows at a uniform rate so each stalk gets an even amount of sun, rain. If you want the advantage of both crops, you rotate every year or two. That way the soy can perform nitrogen fixation with various bacteria and produced essentially free nitrogen fertilizer for your corn.
Do the people in Nebraska know you’re in California? Is that disclosed or simply not mentioned, hoping nobody catches on?

Do you have any problems with this remote setup like Sinclair has with “Centralcasting” local news from far away? (Graphics and visuals for the wrong station showing up, talent’s obvious lack of knowledge of local events and terminology, etc...)

Just to show everyone how much you are wrong I’d like to point out that you are probably the only person on this website ignoring that the model 3 is 35k$ before all incentives.

I think of Bitcoin as being a Gold 2.0.

That may be a bug, not a feature. See William Jennings Brian, "Cross of Gold" speech. Having a fixed currency and economic growth forces deflation, which is really tough on debtors.

Gold, like diamonds, is a promoted rarity. The gold industry's "World Gold Council" puts effort into into getting gold safely locked up in safe uses like jewelry and off the trading market.
LEDs are point light sources, of course they hurt - each dot is very bright in order to produce enough light overall. By comparison CFLs produce a lot less glare for the same light output, being basically light-emitting surfaces rather than dots.

If an LED light is expected to be in the field of view they install diffusers over LEDs. Diffusers, however, absorb some of the light and spread the rest across wider angle, so they don't get installed unless needed. For the street light you'd want a narrow beam (facing straight down) and a maximum light output (to save energy along, which adds up quickly for long roads).
> Have you considered thinking critically about the impacts of surveillance technology, rather than reciting quotes from 6th grade social studies absent any introspection?

Have you considered not being rude and insulting?

People who think critically about surveillance have a wide range of views on the topic.
Not at all. The "inner world" is exactly the thing one seeks to annihilate when meditating or practicing "mindfulness." It is the world of reflective thoughts, trains of thought, tangents, and intrusive thoughts.

The "outer world" is a representation as well, yes, but it is the representation (and instantaneous interpretation) of directly-available sensory information. One might call this representation an analogue of one's embodied reality.

A preference to live in one's "own inner world" is a preference—while doing some act "A" out in the world—to think about some other "not-A" thing (usually a continuous, long-standing "not-A" context that stays with you regardless of what "A" you're currently experiencing.)

People on the autistic spectrum tend to have exactly this preference.

To do this type of business legally, you have to comply with both federal laws and state laws. The federal laws basically say you have to register with FinCEN and comply with anti-money laundering laws, which mostly means you have a duty to know who your customers are and why they're transacting with you, to refuse to do business with people who are obviously laundering money, and to report suspicious activity to FinCEN. It's reasonably doable to comply with federal law as an small operator. However, this person didn't just fail to register, she also knowingly facilitated money laundering, which is illegal even if you're registered.

What exactly you have to do to comply with state law varies dramatically. In some states buying and selling bitcoin is basically unregulated, and in others there are onerous registration/licensing and financial requirements that are basically impossible to fulfill as an individual. Off the top of my head I'm not sure where California falls on the spectrum.

> Even after a short while, you'll find these brackets seem to become automatic and mentally disappear

Is this really true? It's by far the most off-putting thing about Lisp dialects to me. Trying to get nested parentheses to match is extremely tedious when I have to do it in non-Lisp languages. It seems horrific if my whole programming experience is one long exercise in "why doesn't this bracket match!?!?!!". I know it can't be this bad because too many people have no problem with it, but it's the only thing I can think when I see some Lisp source code with 50 nested parentheses ...
Hah.

This is directly contradicted by the article - they mention imprisoned scientists and engineers proposing what eventually becomes a sharashka themselves.

From the article "Kickstarter is virtually genericized at this point"

> IndieGoGo are a bunch of scammer-enablers.

Agree, IndieGoGo has developed the opposite reputation. I would say that IGG is "genericized" in it's own way. As a backer, IGG just feels sleazier. No one has mentioned their Flexible Funding[0] which is a core tool for scammers and something IGG uses as a strong selling point.

IGG could fix this but they make money on Flexible Funding. As they state in the link below: "With flexible funding, you keep all funds, even if you do not meet your goal!" (note the exclamation point at the end). Scammer-enablers might be too kind of a word. Collusion might be accurate.

This is not surprising. Most people here are already neck deep in implementing surveillance technology. They are the last ones to find it creepy or disturbing, if anything its in their interest to brush it off and pretend its the most normal thing as this thread has done.

That's why discussions about privacy, surveillance and ethics are best had in a context where their significance is not diluted by conflicting personal interests. Posting about these issues is tech communities is like asking individuals rushing to the gold rush with dreams of riches to inquire about their thoughts on democracy. Pointless.
Well, yes there is a difference, evolution works by natural selection since nature is incredibly smart and the only changes that get actualized are those that are beneficial for survival and reproduction and those that do not hinder it.

Artificially controlled selective breeding doesn't mean evolution, take for example bulldogs which have been overbred by humans that prioritized looks, so a modern bulldog's health is frail compared to its ancestors, hardly what one would call evolution.

But on the elephants case, yes it is evolution as human interference seems to be mostly as a "regular" predator.

Most places running newer POS terminals have switched to digital signatures on the screen, which is much nicer... but some bars (especially nightclubs where they don't want bright POS terminal screen shining in your face) still do paper receipts with pen signature, yeah.

Outside of nightlife and restaurants, I almost never deal with paper signatures anymore. Pretty much all retail, etc, does digital signatures and digital receipts, paper receipt upon request.

Its still pretty backwards compared to how most things credit card related work in Europe, but gets the job done and is indeed gradually getting better over here (and, as some of the other posts have mentioned, the saving grace if you don't want to deal with any of this is that cash is almost universally accepted).
IIRC until the recent fix they pushed in a macOS update for the new i9 models, MacBook Pros don't have any of their power limits set (or have them on the defaults at 100W). The processor runs at full turbo, until the CPU gets to 102 C and throttles itself to keep it at about 99C.

> There are two different senses of "efficiency" in farming (or other production). One is the amount of food you get per unit of human labor input. Supporting a fully urbanized population requires this metric to be high.

Are you suggesting that the reason the US/Europe is not at the Malthusian limit / has a low population growth is because we don't grow enough food? You'll have to pardon my incredulity.

Your point is strictly true - we are growing less food than we theoretically could grow, but that seems beside the point: we still have an enormous surplus of food.

In all these cases the CPU isn't going over its designed temperature limit, so unless Intel are messing with those numbers too now (AFAIK the expected lifetime is based on continuous running at the maximum temperature, like many other electronic components are rated at) the lifetime won't be shorter than the spec.

(I'm curious if these new CPUs based on smaller processes do have a measurably shorter lifetime in practice; a lot of people can probably tell stories of decade-old Prescotts and such which are still in active use.)

You don't even have to think about parenthesis matching when your editor does it for you.

When using Emacs, the editor can ensure the parenthesis always match. It can also show you which parenthesis match, and if you insist on allowing having non-matching parenthesis, it can show you exactly where they don't match. So even in that case you don't have to worry about it because the editor will point it out to you.

Parenthesis are probably the most trivial and unimportant thing about Lisp, and people get way too hung up about them.

What's far more important is the power that Lisp gives you, how easy it is to program what you want in it, and how elegant and easy to understand the solutions you come up with are.

Instead of having some kind of spaghetti code monstrosity full of ridiculous boilerplate as you would in other languages, you could have a nice and simple solution in Lisp. Isn't that worth allowing some extra parenthesis in to your code?

Of course, but author is very clear on the early/alpha nature of the project plus there's uncertainty as to whether he will continue this as a project or not.. also he's the only contributor.

It looks like the opposite to me?

TCP minimum header is 20 bytes.[1] QUIC "short header" (after key negotiation) looks like it can go down to 2 bytes for non-roaming connections with a 1-byte packet number, if the server allows the omit_connection_id, and 10 bytes otherwise.[2] Add the UDP header (8 bytes[3]) and you're at 10-21 bytes. So if you both supply a connection ID and a 4-byte packet number you're just barely at the same transport overhead as TCP; otherwise it's less.

(The QUIC "long header" is longer but that's a fixed cost and shouldn't matter too much for overhead.)

Or am I missing something?

[2]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-quic-transport-08#sec...
[3]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Datagram_Protocol#Packet_...
Because it's not obviously a flaw, and since it's not obvious you'll have to supply arguments if you want people to believe it's a major flaw.

QUIC is supposed to send fewer packets for the same payload, at least that's what I've heard. I don't follow it closely. Assuming that's true, if you want people to believe that QUIC packets are bigger and that the increased size more than compensates for their reduced number, you'll have to supply arguments. Packet traces for a few typical connections would be good arguments. Assuming it's false, you'll need much the same kind of argument.

It's really no different. Consider this function in Go:

func Foo(s string) string {
println("hello")
}

And in Clojure:

(defn foo [s]
(println s))

The Go code has two () pairs and one {} pair. The Clojure has two () pairs and one [] pair. There aren't more overall parenthesis, they are just in a different place. Any decent editor will catch missing parens just as they would missing braces in other languages.

There are some cases where you do get a few more parens, e.g. with mathematical operators, but overall it's not that different, it's almost completely user perception.
