He's right. Humanity's problems are solved by humans solving themselves. Each one of us is a puzzle that gets solved in the same way--doing the inner work to quiet our mind and open our hearts. When enough of us are solved, humanity's problems will automatically solve themselves.

Sundar seems to have done the inner work and understands this Truth. His "Cockroach Theory" is enlightening:

I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.

It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.

More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.

Lessons learnt from the story:

I understood, I should not react in life.
I should always respond.

The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.

Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of.

A beautiful way to understand............LIFE.

Person who is HAPPY is not because Everything is RIGHT in his Life..

He is HAPPY because his Attitude towards Everything in his Life is Right..!!

Right, and a growing concern is understanding the dangers and unavoidable pitfalls of censorship - even if the people who want to implement the systems have good hearts and mean for the best, it can make it easier for bad actors to take those systems over and silence who and what they want - and it can be subtle; imagine if such censorship existed in the US, and the Trump administration had control over it - do you think we would have heard anything about the Khashoggi trap, torture, and assassination by bad actors in Saudi?

pretty easy
a) While they needed the snorkel if they were to run at any speed submerged (as it enabled the use of the main, diesel propulsion plant), sneaking up on the enemy was often done on batteries (slow; limited duration; no trace on the surface) - but if you were following (as opposed to lurking in front of) a surface ship, you'd definitely have to run on diesels.

The downside to this, of course, being that you'd announce your presence to any competent lookout on the ship you were following.

b) If I was German, I'd definitely prefer to surrender to a western power; I do think it may have been a bit rash to announce my presence in such a spectacular fashion with all the risk that entails, when I could as well have slipped a couple of miles away, surfaced, draped some table linen from the conning tower and radioed my intent to surrender and request instructions; much better than getting rammed or blasted out of the water for my trouble.

c) Three out of four U-boat crewmen got killed during the war, so it could be argued that being on a U-boat had its own risks - besides, this late in the war, the tankers would hardly have had any fuel to ship anyway - the Germans lost their oilfields (primarily in Ploesti, Romania and Maikop, Russia) prior to the endgame and largely relied on synthetic fuels, available in limited quantities.

That being said, I agree with your assessment that the U-boat force had ceased to be a serious threat way before the spring of 1945 - fuel shortages definitely being a major factor.
The best-kept secret Wikipedia is the references section. First reference probably answers all your questions.

For those of you still in school, this is also how you "get around" the "Don't use Wikipedia" restriction on your school reports. You go to the Wikipedia article for whatever it is you're writing about, ignore it entirely and scroll down to the References, and go to town on those. 10 seconds of "research" and you've almost certainly got enough primary sources lined up to finish your report unless this is a thesis-level job. I scare-quote "get around" because this isn't even really "cheating", unless you're doing the assignment where you're explicitly instructed to use the library lookup system, in which case of course it is.

> No one was ever going to carpet bomb a wedding.

Not a wedding, indeed, an entire town, with possibly dozens of weddings happening at the same time. Plus hospitals, schools, etc.

If you had to pick between carpet bombing and smart bombs, which one would you pick? (And consider you don't have a choice, like the trolley problem, you NEED to pick one).
Surprised to see Guile weighing in at 2mb - my experience with it on Linux was a much larger install. What makes the Linux packages so much larger out of curiosity? I profiled it at more like 50-80mb when I compiled it a couple of months ago.
I'd really like to see an open-source QNX-type microkernel in Rust. Everybody is re-implementing early Unix in Rust, but that's not a good model. The great thing about the QNX model is that the tiny kernel barely changes from year to year, because everything is outside it and not very trusted. So it approaches being totally debugged.

L4 is too low-level - you have to run another OS on top of it, usually Linux. QNX offers a POSIX interface.

I'm currently reading Martin Gilbert's "The First World War: A Complete History". It's been a great read so far. Although there are very many sad and tragic parts, one section put tears in my eyes:

“As [Friedrich] Feuchtinger’s regiment reached the Russian trenches, the Russians turned to flee. One of them, being closely chased, and apparently without his rifle, stopped all of a sudden, turned round, held out his right hand, and put his left hand into his tunic pocket. As he did so, Feuchtinger plunged in his bayonet. ‘I see his blood redden his uniform, hear him moan and groan as he twists with the bayonet in his young body. I am seized with terror. I throw myself down, crawl to him, wanting to help him. But he is dead. I pull my blood-stained bayonet from the dead body. Wanting to fold his hands, I see in the left hand a crumpled photo of his wife and child.”
One piece of advice I like to give nowadays, is that if you don't know how to get to a goal, then do this:

1) Divide up that goal into pieces.
2) Take those initial pieces and divide that up.
3) Take one of the bits from 2, and create a lame, incomplete version of it
4) Keep polishing that bit until it's great

The key steps are 3 and 4! It's hard to build even a small production ready component of something, even a very small subpart. However, pretty much anyone can build a lame, insecure, wonky version of that subpart.

An example is the movement syncing system in my MMO. First I went through an "Asteroids in HTML5" tutorial. Then I got hold of a "Chat in Websockets" tutorial. Then I hooked them up in the lamest way imaginable, then kept on iterating.

The very hardest part is 4, of course. In order to do that part, you have to know what it is you don't know. A good Comp Sci education gets you a good ways there. (Warning: If your profs and TAs keep telling you "you don't need to know [X]" because libraries/etc take care of that for you, you need to figure out if they're only saying that because they don't know themselves. If on the other hand, they give you some background information about when you do need to know [X] then that's valuable information.)
The biggest difference between academic tools and those in industry is that they're sinking major funds into producing (expensive, hard to produce at scale) training data. That, in theory, should allow them to develop better algorithms for actually predicting which mutations in the tumor are going to be the best (immunogenic) targets. This tool, and several others like it, are modular enough to allow you to plug in whatever prediction algorithm you like, while still getting the benefit of all the other steps.
Google CEO highlights corporate changes following walkouts
I thought this whole conversation was in the context of companies like Google? I don't think companies are people. They definitely don't get to flout the laws as they see fit, but they have the right to operate in the markets they choose. Even lobbying makes me uneasy.

As to the laws, yes, it's up to the citizens to shape and evolve them, through a referendum, elected official, regime change or whatever other way. But once they're signed, they're the law.
“Change your password qwerty immediately. You have been hacked.”
I am not sure what you point is. It's not just a binary thing: we do business in the country or we don't. With any decision you have to see if it's in line with your values or not.

For me personally, I am fine with passive censorship in China. My wife is Thai-Chinese so I can accept that there is a cultural difference. Where I would draw the line is when a company hands over information about individuals and then those individuals disappear with out any due process.
The world is not an engineering problem
The last time I read about this technology there was a concern that there would be lasting smell from the toilet due to how it cleans itself (improperly). Has the issue been fixed?

I believe you also need to remove a poop-filled/stained component from it every few months, but this would probably be just a minor inconvenience for people who haven't even owned a modern toilet before.
How does that solve anything? If you still need an IPv4 address, what's the point?
Married people with 3 kids and suburban preferences mostly do not want to move to begin with. That's why targeting this demographic is usually going to be less effective if you're trying to concentrate a large number of workers in one area.
Or Apple switch them to the A series processors! Although I really cannot see that happening on the pro lineup anytime soon (Although I think its highly likely on the air and non-pro MacBooks)
Ok. Perhaps that's the language. Which IDE/editor has the most intelligent support for it? There seems to be no Hy plugin for PyCharm (e.g. IntelliJ Idea supports Clojure nicely AFAIK).

These are great ideas. Write them into your representatives. Designated street-side scooter parking would also be a plus. Not only does it signal to drivers "consider another option," it also deals with the scooter litter problem.

"Technology is neither good nor bad; nor is it neutral." -Melvin Kranzberg

What is bad are the neutral to bad actors who propagate technology, without planning or caring for its unintended consequences.

Technology is an amplifier, and like other amplifiers humans build, it is far easier boost some existing signal when you abdicate yourself from the goal of also maintaining the integrity of the signal: sure, you can get more power if you don't care about noise. In fact, building a perfect amplifier of arbitrary power is probably impossible.
>Would you consider drones and smart bombs bad when the alternative is carpet bombing?

That's not the alternative, though. Drones are used in hundreds of situations where without them, the US simply wouldn't have taken action.

You don't need a routable IPv4 address, only your ISP needs it. Think overlay networks.
Even after graduating from college over 20 years ago. I purposefully took a job as a computer operator in a larger city where I still live that was way below my skillset and the amount I could have made at in a smaller city closer to home as a junior Dev for the opportunity.

Over a decade later, when I really started taking my career seriously again, I made the same calculation. I had two choices, I could accept an offer that was paying more but using a technology that I didn’t see having a future or taking a job paying only little bit more but was clearly a better long term play technologically. I’m aggressive about keeping up and having a competitive resume.

I respond to every local recruiting company that reaches out to me. I keep them in the loop, I’ve met a few recruiters for lunch and I refer my favorite ones when I know someone is looking. I’ve also done hiring through recruiters.

The problem is when you have to go in cold and pass a google-style interview just to get considered for any job, even at a greeting card company. The now ubiquitous position where "we only hire the top 1%."
With that much competition, being old puts you at a definite disadvantage. Especially when tech interviews focus on CS trivia rather than engineering design and experience, benefiting those fresh out of college.

I am still hands on. But, I had to elevate myself above being seen as “just a Developer”. I’ve been asked simple technical questions to determine whether I had basic competence, but all of my interviews over the past few years have been along the lines of “draw out an architecture” or “describe how you would solve these $hairy_problems we are having. I have never been asked a leetCode type question. The closest I’ve gotten was writing a merge sort on the board - I did, got an offer but I was so turned off by the entire process that I took another job instead.
Really? When and where?
That's fully backwards. The people with the incentive to delay moving to IPV6 are the ones selling IPs. Those buying - ISPs - are also the ones that have the incentive to move to IPV6 as in an IPV6 world, they wouldn't have the spend that money. And ISPs are the ones best positioned for further IPV6.

That IPV6 adoption is slow is precisy because buying ranges of IPV4 addresses is still cheap enough that people are doing it.
Only the most dogmatic pacifists in the US still maintain that the US entering WWII was the wrong choice. Yet the US literally incinerated hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians through carpet fire-bombings. Thankfully, we seem to have left the world of total war.

Whether nuclear weapons and targeted drone strikes made the world in some broad strokes more peaceful on purpose, well, probably not. Nonetheless, we haven't had carpet bombings anywhere near the scale of WWII in decades.
As much as I love working in IT, if things continue down the path where you are expected to become a labourer in 3rd World Country (mentally) and as a consequence start suffering devastating effects such as physical illnesses,

I would strongly, STRONGLY recommend my kids to not pursue IT as a career at all - better be a civil engineer or even a plumber or a lawyer or a family Doctor and live a good life with good money.
Your Client Engagement Program Isn't Doing What You Think It Is
I don't think this analysis is correct. Imagine Chrome started charging small amounts of bitcoin for each HTTP request but Firefox still allowed free access. I don't think you'd say "I'm now incentivized to use Chrome because I have to have an artificial scarce resource."

ISPs can basically get all the IPv6 resources they need, but IPv4 addresses are becoming scarce and costly. Amazon just spent a lot of money to get more IPv4 addresses: that's cost, not profit.

If Amazon owned all the addresses and they were making great profits as a monopoly seller, this would indeed be an incentive not to move to IPv6. Instead, it's really just driving up people's costs.

Adoption is slow because the extra costs of IPv4 addresses are still smaller than the costs of really getting every piece of infrastructure and software working correctly with IPv6. We're not that far away, but there's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem until we're close enough that people can start to turn off IPv4 and effectively force stragglers to adopt.
Do you have any personal experience in doing so? They seem like tempting projects from the outset, but getting started with some clear goals in mind, alongside philosophical/idealistic differences from what's already out there so you're not simply rewriting something for the sake of it has prevented me from getting too far down a particular rabbit-hole.
I find it insulting when billionaire entrepreneurs make their fortunes with American resources using the power and reach of American markets and then spend it on humanitarian philanthropy in hostile, Communist third world countries.

The modem business from apple represents a huge amount of leverage over intel. It doesn't really matter what part it is, if you sell 50 million of something per quarter you're going to do whatever it takes to keep that business. Even if apple stops buying x86 processors modems alone make them one of intel's most important customers, especially when intel is trying to grow their modem business.

thunderbolt is a hurdle to arm macs but I don't think an insurmountable one. As you mentioned Intel already committed to opening the spec and if apple can't negotiate getting tunderbolt host controllers tossed in super cheap and forcing intel to honour its own commitments with modem sales they don't deserve to be valued at 1T.

TB is one of the big reasons I think macbook would be the obvious 1st mac to switch. It currently only has USB-C (no TB) and it's due for a refresh since the lack of touch id makes it an outlier.

When apple switched from ppc it was a multiple year effort and I don't see any reason a switch to arm, whether it's a full move or particular products would be any different.

I agree it's an issue but I propose the opposite solution, meaning side-walk devices should go at max 10 mph.

Talking about such, is there any data on accidents caused by e-scooters? (percentage wise e.g. vs bikes)
You can use threshold value to detect whether there is no number. If the prediction accuracy is below this threshold value you can say it as no number
That really heavily depends on the market in question. They're all so different in terms of culture, regulation, politics, market structures, productivity, output, wealth, etc.

Jordan for example has the same population size as Sweden, that's about where the similarities end.

Sweden, along with Canada and Australia, are just about ideal micro US versions in technology, in terms of potential to pull off your scaling of activity. Good market economies, relatively robust technology societies and technology economies, high GDP per capita and incomes, plenty of wealth and capital to invest, stable open societies with respect for human rights, english language use giving them global benefits (Sweden having one of the world's highest english language adoption rates, outside of primarily english speaking countries), and so on.

Japan has far less spending power per capita - disposable income - than the US, and their economic output per capita is similarly far lower. Their cost of living is not far lower to offset. US GDP per capita will be around $63,000 for 2018. Japan is down around $38,000 to $40,000. Culturally Japan has historically not been friendly to risk taking, entrepreneurial activity. That has shifted some over the last 10-15 years, but not immensely (it's starting from an extreme where a long corporate career was the only acceptable path). There's a considerable difference between Sweden and Japan on that conservativism. Japan also is very different at a macro level, they put themselves into a particularly bad 20+ year debt trap that has robbed their economy of the surplus capital it needs to invest into expansion and innovation.

Germany is doing OK, in regards to technology and tech start-ups. They've lagged a bit in the transition from old industrial to new technology [1][2], it appears to be a cultural problem that is acting as friction. Culturally they're not nearly as dynamic on entrepreneurism as Sweden has become. Perhaps it's just easier to change directions at the scale of Sweden than Germany, with all the entrenched institutions and large conglomerates that Germany has.

I used Bird, Lime, Lyft, and Jump scooters over the weekend in LA and they were great for getting around when I'd have otherwise considered driving (over a 45 minute walk). I tried a Skip scooter again when I got back to SF, and once again, it simply could not handle a minor (for SF) hill. I don't know what the solution is, since it seems like a bad idea to power them more to handle hills given the dangers that would pose on flat (or downhill) terrain, but I can't imagine them really taking hold in the same way in hilly cities.
Yeah that’s a good question. Smelters don’t generate their own power generally, right? But I believe they also use a lot of air cooling so most of that draw is going to be electrolysis.

Wikipedia has a list of aluminum smelters and I notice none of the biggest are in the US. Is that just because, or due to code limitations?
Cool, thanks for the explanation. It does make more sense to me now.
