Thanks for sharing your thought process, I found it interesting.

I get the sense that there’s a gem in your scripting, and one of those might become useful and need more work, and then you’d have a reason to scale it.

There’s [a recent interview with PG](https://www.startupschool.org/videos/36) where he talks about the joys of hacking, you might find it interesting.
You are right. I don't think I read his comment very carefully before replying.

Despite the fix suggested, what you'd actually feel is acceleration, rather than velocity. 500ft descent over 18 seconds would be about -1.2ft/s acceleration.

I'm just assuming that global warming is going to be as bad or worse than current predictions and that the effect will be felt even more severely at high latitudes. If the arctic sea ice all melts the Arctic Circle may be the new Northern Europe. 20,000 years ago New England was all under glaciers, while now it's a pretty reasonable place to live.
To my knowledge, there isn't any language that really tries to be the kind of "portable assembler" that people try to shoehorn C into. There just really isn't the demand for it, since trying to be a portable assembler requires trading off fidelity to hardware for optimization, and most people would rather have faster code than more accurate hardware representation.

The internal IRs of compilers (such as LLVM IR or GCC GIMPLE) is likely to be much more accurate to hardware (and the ones I called out are indeed so). It's debatable if you want to actually call these non-assembly languages, though.
> If implied in your question that the goal should be equity in 'thought', how do you propose that is measured?

OP mentioned "ideas & experience," not "thought," which seems like an intentional framing as something unbounded and immeasurable.

Diversity of ideas could be measured by the average number of options/solutions that are seriously considered (and investigated/piloted) over the course of multiple projects for a team.

Diversity of experience seems somewhat obvious to me. But if you want clarity on this as well, the idea would be to value various types of experiences in the same way that companies value diverse outward traits like gender, sex, skin color, racial identity, etc. It's a balance. You could hire a person of each gender/skin color combination, but if they all grew up in the New England suburbs and all of them went to either MIT or Harvard, you are generally NOT going to have a diversity of experience, even though everyone _looks_ different. On the other end of the scale, you could hire one person from each type of school, big state school, small technical school, ivy league, "public ivy", liberal arts college, bootcamp graduate, etc. Hire people native to your country/culture, and people who come from a different part of the world. But if they are all white men, you are not going to realize as much benefit.

I think it's important to make an attempt to combine all of these concepts to come up with something that approaches the concept of "diversity of thought."
To "buffalo" is to confuse, befuddle, deceive, puzzle, baffle, confuse, mystify, bewilder, or bamboozle.

It can also be to impress or intimidate by a display of power, importance, or authority.

It doesn't seem to mean hunting or acting as a buffalo. I can't find those in any dictionary.
FWIW, most places have a definition of "motorized vehicle" written into their laws somewhere, and it's usually not "any vehicle with a motor". motors under a certain power outut or vehicles capped to a certain speed don't usually count as motor vehicles, to allow things like mobility scooters & powered wheelchairs to travel on sidewalks or bike paths.
Is there an up to date version of this? I wouldn't mind getting a poster of this on my wall.

This is all just so sad. There's really no winner in this, because at this stage of technology and general mistrust towards the opposing party there is nothing that anyone could do in order to provide an answer that everyone can believe in, let alone non tech people. We have truly created a state of lies, mistrust, fake news and conspiracy and this will end badly. It surely plays into Trump's cards which is also quite upsetting too.
What you're seeing is car companies trying to transition to "mobility" companies -- the difference being the former is a manufacturing company with 3% margins and the latter being a services company with much fatter margins.

Autonomous car fleets are the main "mobility services" prize of course -- all the major OEMs have autonomous research labs -- but you're seeing more interest in scooters and bikes (there was a headline about GM releasing an e-bike last week).
> One of the big reasons a lot of people really like NYC is that it's one of the few cities in the US that actually feels like a city.

Those are valid points, but that just means the API documentation and the concept documentation should largely be separate documents, not that the documentation doesn't belong. In the best cases a link over to relevant concept docs from API and vice-versa is great, and occasionally enlightens even hardened devs ("wait, there's an API to do this directly?", "Wait, this concept was added and streamlined in the 3 years since I first used this product?", etc)
Yep, confirmed.

When you click within a few vertical pixels of the underline, for click targets that are multiline where only the first line gets the underline, the click gets eaten 100% of the time. I'm sure there are other cases but that's the most obvious since the google search results are formatted like that.

line 1 - title
line 2 - url

the box around line1 && line2 form the click target. the underline only appears when you hover over the target area. if you hit that area between line 1 & line 2, where the underline is drawn, the click is eaten.

UPDATE: it's not eaten. it alternately toggles the underline on or off.

Also, you have to click above the green URL text for the click to toggle the underline. If you click past the edge of the URL text (under the 'le' in the example above), the click works correctly.
It is conducted like every other sort of corporate training around risk factors for the company, discussing principles and examples of violations and grey areas. Other examples are ethics e.g. "should I take a bribe?" and security e.g. "should i pick up a usb key in the parking lot and put it into a work computer?". Similarly the answer to "should I sexually harass my co-workers?" is also no.

AWS has heavy support for IPv4 because back-end stuff is all IPv4 and there isn't any push to change. IPv6 doesn't add any real value for servers that are all living in a private address space anyway, it adds an overhead to each packet, and learning off your addressing schemes is far easier with dotted quad.
Mandatory sexual harassment training is performed by every employer in California who doesn't want to get sued for someone getting sexually harassed at work.

The purpose of it is usually not educating people, but providing a liability shield. Juries don't look kindly when Billy was harassed by his manager, and Billy's employer couldn't even be arsed to put Billy through a two-hour course, that spells out why harassment is a bad idea.

On the other hand, if Billy's manager did go through this training, and harassed Billy, then the company can blame everything on the manager.

What is even more interesting and relevant is what we will do when videos are regularly and intentionally modified or created, and in much more striking ways than this one. I'm surprised we haven't already seen some good attempts at this with the amount of money and motivation that goes into US politics.

It never ceases to amaze me that people fail to see what is the real cause of dysfunction in your election system.

It's the single member constituency.

Also known as single member districts. This is what really ails your election system.

You can toy around with IRV, STV, AV, two round voting, etc etc etc but you will never really fix it. It seem that people think a "real fix" is a three party system. I call BS, you really need 6 to 8. That means multi member constituencies.

Once you go multi member you're very quickly arrive at party list proportional representation as your election system.
It's common in the U.S., and the second question is the sort of thing that would get you sent back to take the class again.

Generally I've seen they use the "stoplight" model, in that some behaviors are "green", near universally accepted as non-harassing, some are "red", near universally rejected as harassing, and some are "yellow" meaning individuals vary. "Red" behaviors should get you fired immediately, while "yellow" often puts some burden on the offended party to speak up about it, and it only becomes harassment if it continues.

Google's training when I took it a decade ago focused almost exclusively on the yellow/gray area and was pretty interesting because of it. Other trainings I've suffered through focused on the red zone which felt obvious, awkward, and dull.

> because cyclists are weird and it's okay to tell them to just ride in amongst trucks travelling 40mph.

This is unsustainable. It's caused blowback from cyclists. "Fine, you want me to play in traffic, I'm going to start doing some dumb shit." I say this as a cyclist, I'm doing only 5 miles round trip but I do it every day. I see people blow red lights, weaving in and out of traffic, hopping onto the sidewalk, blasting through crosswalks inbetween pedestrians.

I mean yea, don't give them bikelanes, this is what happens, they feel scorned or something and start breaking the law.
Using a spaced repetition system for math has never worked well for me. It's useful for memorizing mathematical facts (for example, the mean/variance of various statistical distributions), but over time my intuition will fade, and I'm left parroting facts, having lost the understanding of why they are true.

In my experience, spaced repetition systems excel when I can create cards that take 10 seconds or less to answer. So they work really well for something like language learning. But it's difficult to reduce mathematical arguments into 10 second chunks．
I'm surprised it doesn't include a link to a "security site" with a domain like "passwordcheck.ru" to verify that the new password is secure.

The thing that confuses me about this is that it includes the password. Certainly most people would go "that's not my password" and ignore it. Are they trying to filter out the results to only people with atrocious passwords?
> Arguably, the dropping of the atomic bombs saved more lives in the long run by forcing the Japanese to surrender and end the war, full-stop.

This was a popular myth that Truman started. In fact, if we’d told the Japanese we would let them keep their emperor, they almost certainly would have surrendered. The Soviets had just entered the war in the Pacific and we wanted to end it before they captured much territory. Ironic since the Japanese had no intention to risk a Soviet occupation either.

> Rust can be faster than C in the general case because of the optimizations permitted by, among other things, strict aliasing rules.

Sure. The same is true for Fortran, for example. It's just that the few benchmarks of Rust vs. C I have seen so far all seem rigged in one way or another.
Plumber = get hands dirty, sometimes real dirty, little respect, and work is hard.

Civil engineer = except for the top tier branch smart people will find a difficult community fit, moderate to modest money, too many external influences towards the discipline, seemingly prime for disruption by the tech world (already happening).

Lawyer and family doctor = too many hours in school and then too many hours in work (generally).

Disclaimer: I'm a civil engineer, work alongside plumbing engineers, know zero actual plumbers, fiancee is doctor, looking to pursue law.
Just for posterity, to see if I was completely bonkers in 2018: I believe that it is possible to realize AGI today, using currently available hardware, if we just knew enough of the principles to create the right software.

Novel computational concepts have often been demonstrated on very old hardware, with the full knowledge of the tricks required to make it work. Often, more powerful hardware was required in order to pionéer the technology, and often the proof-of-concept on older hardware is too slow and clunky to have been a compelling product. But it's often been physically possible for longer than people realize.

I've never made a "long game" statement like this before, so it'll be interesting to read this comment about what I thought before in 2038 or 2048, if it still exists then.
> cyclists are weird ... e-scooters are for "normal people"

Could you please elaborate on this? Why do you think so (or why do you think that is a widely held belief)?

If anything I would have thought that it was the opposite.
> After all, those languages use the same backends - GCC in the case of C & Ada, LLVM in the case of C & Rust.

The killer flaw of C for performance is the pointer aliasing problem. C only has the very coarse-grained tools of strict aliasing (often disabled in large applications because it breaks code!) and restrict (which relies heavily on manual programmer annotation) to control these aliasing issues. Since Rust has the rule that you can only have one mutable reference to an object at once (and read-read aliasing issues don't matter), it can effectively automatically add in these annotations without relying on programmer annotation.

I watched the side by side comparison of the three videos about thirty times before I read any of the text.

Why is it being framed as Acosta doing a chop rather than the woman in the video trying to punch Acosta. All three of the videos, to me, look like the woman going for a throat punch and Acosta's movements reactionary.

I can't tell who has the whacky bias here. Is it me?

Edit: rather than change my comment after I've posted it, I mean to write that both of the reduced frame rate videos appear as though the woman is going for the throat. The original video just looks nothing like that.
Yeah, i'm curious, so what does it cost for a "vanity/memorable ip like 8.8.8.8"?
I actually came across this the other day. I recently got into using IRC and wanted to learn lisp, so I decided to make an IRC bot. I wanted to get an idea of how this would work in Chicken Scheme (since the documentation for the irc egg was not great) and the only one I could find was your kylling.scm bot. So thank you for putting the code for kylling.scm out there because it helped me get started with the IRC bots I am maintaining now.

Look at the overspecific promises going forward!

- We will make arbitration optional for individual sexual harassment and sexual assault claims

Ordinary harassment and assault is still covered by forced arbitration, as is systemic sexual harassment. Good to know.

- We will update and expand our mandatory sexual harassment training

Everyone knows already that mandatory XY training serves to deflect liability from the company. If the previous instance wasn't good enough for its purpose, the new one will certainly be.

Why not just follow policy in the employee handbook? They usually have a section on harassment and appropiate conduct, and form part of the employment contract.
Here's a good example of how these rolls can be abused:

> Just prior to the 1990 general election, postcards were sent to over 100,000 black voters in the state. The sending of these postcards was financed directly by the North Carolina Republican Party and indirectly by Senator Helms’ reelection campaign. As I recall several thousand white voters were sent postcards as well. Information gathered by DOJ during its investigation showed that the voting precincts targeted to receive the postcard mailing were 94% black, overall.

> The postcard contained inaccurate information telling voters that they could not vote on Election Day if they did not reside at the address at which they were registered for the 30 days prior to the election. The postcard also suggested that any voter who did attempt to vote would be subject to federal prosecution.

This case wound up with a consent decree being put into place.

As for number of instances, I'm not sure how you'd possibly begin to quantify that. Most instances would result in no reporting whatsoever, those reported would be hard to prosecute (anonymous threatening calls, for example), etc. What's clear is intimidation/suppression attempts do still occur - it's trivial to find examples of them.

Nobody follows these rules. Whenever a skater is coming at me I very much get a "get the fuck out of my way, peasant" vibe.

That's why I believe they should be enforceable rules aka laws.
LPDDR doesn't come in modular form. It's always soldered onto the same PCB as the processor. The number of packages used is determined by the data bus width of the processor. If Google has access to a processor with a DRAM controller that supports LPDDR4 and ECC, they can design a suitable motherboard.
An erroneous Angle Of Attack sensor would not be the cause of a crash (though stated as so in this article) - it could certainly be a contributing factor. The aircraft, from the public evidence so far, was still flyable.
I'm from Germany and I find it sounds disturbing as well, never heard of such thing before. However according to some this apparently is common industry practice. So I wonder, what exactly happens at a sexual harassment training?

Yes, we can rule out near-term AGI, because we can also rule out far-term AGI, at least in the way AGI is defined in this talk. You can't isolate "economically beneficial" aspects of intelligence. Emulating human-like intelligence means emulating the primitive parts of the brain as well, including lust, fear, suspicion, hate, envy, etc... these are inseparable building blocks of human intelligence. Unless you can model those (and a lot else besides), then you don't have AGI, at least not one that can (for example) read a novel and understand what the heck is going on and why.
Terminating an employee for cause is a big deal. Sexual harassment is worthy of termination. Failing to take sexual harassment training is not.
Imagine an overlay network that consists of nodes running directly on end users' computers. It has its own routing system and it can establish connections to other nodes via local network, via internet, punching holes through NAT, etc. If popular things like web browsers implement support for that overlay network, ISPs don't even have to provide NAT or routable IP addresses to customers that want to access the web, they can just run some nodes themselves that have internet connectivity and expect end users' nodes to find those nodes over local network and get web connectivity over that overlay network. Of course there are no limits of how integrated overlay networks can become. But notice how little change overlay networks can be made to impose on everyone and to support effortless gradual transition.

Ford needs -

1) Better styling. I just bought a Grand Cherokee, and despite the 2020 Ford Explorer being RWD, I would never consider a Ford vehicle. Their exterior/interior styling is bland.

2) An off-road sub brand to compete against Jeep. The upcoming Bronco/baby Bronco/Ranger is a start, but Jeep is making a killing with the brand image despite 95% of people only taking their Wranglers over curbs in a mall parking lot. The 'dream' sells. They need to compete with Jeep in off-road prowess to sell the dream.

3) High performance trim levels for 2020+ vehicles high margin vehicles (Nautilus, Explorer, Aviator, F150, Mustang, Navigator) with hybrid/electric options that have a sub 10.5 second quarter mile.
