In my opinion it's inevitable they will be victimized by this policy.

If you think about logistics, the govt will probably need to come up with standard ways of implementing backdoors and API for sending data back. It won't be a whole new system for every targeted company.

Every unwilling company/individual served with a notice will be aware of those methods. How long until those methods and/or keys are leaked?

After that, the hackers have unlimited time and motivation to break what will be the world's largest honeypot.

Also, it's only a matter of time until politicians will use these new powers against each other/their political enemies. Even State Police are getting these powers with no judicial oversight.

Many of the largest data breaches have been from government departments, and in my opinion this will be no different. I know they didn't leak everything, but even the NSA with their budget couldn't keep all their data secret.
To be clear, the scope of my comment is the problem described in the video. I literally know nothing about the details. I didn't understand the problem statement to encompass the incursion of snow, drunk drivers, or cyclists into the subway system, and I don't have any specific ideas on implementing a PTC-like system on a wide-area rail network.

BART has a lot of surface coverage, so yes, I agree that many of those issues can't be hand-waved away in that case. But a municipal subway is, well, a municipal subway. The problem being discussed here is scheduling and tracking, not collision avoidance, obstacle sensing, or any of that other stuff. They are complaining that they can't implement rolling block scheduling because they don't know where their cars are or how fast they're going, and they're saying they need to spend an absurd amount of money to remedy that situation, and that's what I'm objecting to.
I love taking photos whenever I go somewhere unusual or I do some new or special. Every few months or years I sit down and look through photos from different stages of my life, and I reminisce about those experiences. Sometimes it's by myself, but other times it's fun to revisit old photos of shared experiences with friends, which I think can help deepen bonds of friendship.

Edit: I thought this extra point would be interesting. Some of us also extend this behavior to certain online communications. Sometimes in group chats with friends different people will take screenshots of funny or amusing moments and share them with each other a few months later. Other times people will save a particularly humorous meme and re-share it to revisit any past discussion surrounding it.

I find that the comparison between them as dictators has merit. No question there. Same on the camps they are putting specific ethnic "others" into, to get their people to rally behind them.

My point specifically was about equating Nazis to socialists. There's been a concentrated campaign the past few weeks to say that Nazis were socialists, so socialists today are the real Nazis and not the guys with SS tattoos who are advocating for ethnic purity.

If you don't like socialists for whatever reason, that's a position you can hold. I just don't like this muddying of waters for political reasons.

Also again, I don't think you are spreading this on purpose. I've seen it start on alt right influenced subreddits and seen it spread the past few weeks, to the point that I am now seeing it casually mentioned in neutral forums as an offhand fact.
Was the latter imported in part because it was compatible with older Korean values? Just curious.
I think your sentiment is well-meaning but maybe a bit dangerous. It's setting up an unrealistic expectation of how adolescence "should" be, which risks leading parents to blame themselves or their kids when it doesn't turn out that way. Because it's extremely unlikely to turn out that way.

Adolescents are frequently at odds with their parents for the same reason 3 year olds are famous for temper tantrums: because it is part of the normal development of the human mind. Infants make no distinction between themselves and their parents; adults understand the difference completely. It takes about 18-20 years for that to develop, and there are well-known milestones along the way.

Teenage/parent conflict is certainly not a new phenomenon. You can find examples in stories almost as far back as there are records of stories.

> Conscious thought may deliver us to emotion, but the emotion that you arrive at is something that has always been inside of you.

Emotion precedes conscious thought; a big part of growing up is learning how to use conscious thought to identify, understand, and manage emotions. For very young children, emotion can be terrifying; it's great to feel happy but suddenly they might feel bad, angry, have scary thoughts, etc.--and it's all unexpected and unexplained. Teenage years are difficult because an entirely new set of powerful emotions, related to love and sex, emerge and the teenage conscious mind has to learn how to deal with them.

> What is the evolutionary advantage of making mothers miserable as a necessary part of producing offspring?

The answer to this obvious: to improve the fitness of the offspring. Conflict with parents happens during adolescence because adolescents are learning to how to be independent adults, and that means challenging authority.

Much respect to moms, but evolution does not give a shit about the mom once the offspring develops reproductive ability. Evolution does not give a shit about anything, really; I would not look to evolution to explain why people should be good to their moms.

I rarely take it out, I got real lazy, but just having it with me still "makes me" look at things differently, and I enjoy that. I don't know if it makes me more mindful, but it makes even a boring street I might walk down every day much more interesting.

Poor choice of words. There is extensive research showing that psychological stress causes inflammation (for example), and we have known this for quite a few decades.

Perhaps a better way to frame the argument is that Gold is useful only because society has agreed that it is a store of value.

Things like cars and bananas are useful outside of being a medium of exchange. You can use a car to get around, and you can eat a banana if you are hungry.

Dollar bills and Gold are useful as long as society agree that you can exchange them for cars and bananas. When society stops agreeing that currency is worth anything (i.e. hyperinflation), money becomes worthless and people throw it away or burn it.

Typically, printing excess currency is what causes it to lose value. Gold avoids that because you cannot just "print" it - you have to physically mine it from the earth by exerting effort.

Don't forget the ludicrous gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement ("anti-fraud") laws.
I would be very surprised if you could live worry-free with the investment proceeds of $100,000. You would have to earn 18% a year on that on average just to hit the poverty line in the US, and a more likely result would be living on 1/3rd of that. At just 6k/yr you would have food covered if you ate practically, or perhaps rent covered if you lived very modestly, but not both.

Assuming that you meant something closer to $1M than $100k I would start to agree. At that rate an initial investment into a home becomes realistic and more advantageous investment options open up. You are still not living high on the hog (60k/yr, ish), but you will probably only have significant problems if you are struck by disaster, illness takes you, or you have children.

At a further 10x that (roughly what the OP describes) you must really screw up to ever be one of the poor again. Many inefficient ways of living (eating out regularly, nice homes, expensive hobbies) open up. These are what most people consider comforts, and so I generally agree with the sense that this is the band where permanent comfortable living becomes possible.
Not sure if it will last, but Google Play Music does allow you to upload your music to the service. It does not matter if those songs get removed from Google’s licensing or if they never existed on Google in the first place: they are streamed independently.
Of course Intel would say this - even if it wasn't on track.

TBH, I'm actually quite impressed that Reddit has lasted as long as it has and is still as vibrant as it is. Yes, of course there are tons of cesspool and misogynistic/racist/tribal areas, but I've found that I still like and frequent my niche smaller subreddits, my city subreddit (tons of trolls there but they are always downvoted and good content bubbles up) and the larger "eye candy" subreddits like r/aww.

My guess is that Reddit explicitly did not try to put VCs number 1 in their priorities, unlike, say, Digg.

There's a lot of skeptics in here with myself included to a certain extent. But I really appreciate your story and am interested in pursuing a similar trajectory.

Bicycles, the upside of increased fractures is better cardio health. In Qld, helmet laws mean less brain injury but now that prevents some people using bikes. Some epidemiologists say its not clear which has worse outcomes: the people with horric brain injury, or the healthier people with less cardio risk.
I'm not the person you're replying to, but I'm curious about the other side of this: what were the red flags you found, and why do you consider them red flags?

I find that open-mindedness can be as simple as questioning and rethinking one's heuristics for detecting bullshit. These heuristics are useful for keeping us sane, but we should recognize them for what they are: epistemic shortcuts that allow us to dismiss something as false without really investigating it. What we gain in efficiency we lose in accuracy, and sometimes we end up missing out on something potentially useful.
To me, at least, this means that the overhead is substantially greater than zero.
Where do you place Jeffrey Epstein in relation to pizza extremism?
Quora used to be good before 2012-13(?), what with its credit system and all. You had a fixed pool of points to ask questions. Potential people who wanted people to ask them questions could arbitrarily set their points, and these points were deducted from questioner's pool, and added to the answerer's pool.

When this was removed, it was the beginning of the end. Clickbait, self-promotion, rabid people-centric cults, unrelated answers (no person X, you should not answer with a sob story for 'what's the weather like in Seattle these days?'), no question details allowed, answers catering to the lowest denominator, crappy feeds, and (imo) the worst - fabricating actual relationships, sob stories, and credentials (IIT/MIT/etc.) to garner more views and become a top writer (w/e that's worth).

And the rabid and toxic community is nauseous, to say the least. No enforcement of community standards means that every non-mainstream opinion (or even an opinion that goes against the Quora mainstream) is lambasted as if you had insulted the commenter's family.

Although HN's moderation policy may seem caged to some, it is the reason for the quality of the community's discussions. Quora is a textbook example of what happens when users are given freedom to do whatever they want to. It is the reason why I deleted my Quora account happily (even though I had 1M+ views on my answers, and I liked answering the most mundane of questions) - the site is not worth the time you devote to it.
I think both would do better if they actually recommended me something I wanted to watch.

Like why doesn't YouTube put on the front page a user's new video who I'm subscribed to (Applied Science), pressed the dumb bell icon, and have watched literally every video of (which are always over 10 minutes)? I can't think of any more clear indication of "I want this" than that.

Netflix does similar things. Pushing their own content. The difference is that YouTube actually has more content that I want to watch.
It doesn't look like it would be easy. From their FAQ[1]:

>U.S. Customers - Coinbase stores all customer fiat currency (government-issued currency) in, custodial bank accounts, or in U.S. Treasuries.

>Non-U.S. Customers - Coinbase stores all customer fiat currency (government-issued currency) in segregated, custodial bank accounts.

You'll notice the non-U.S. customer cash is held in segregated, custodial bank accounts while the U.S. customer cash is held in custodial bank accounts and U.S. Treasuries. This leads me to believe the corporate cash is co-mingled with cash that's earmarked as belonging to investors.

That might not sound like a problem but if Coinbase goes under then creditors will stake a claim against the entire account. The best case scenario there would be that Coinbase keeps meticulous records and a bankruptcy court would return client funds in a few years.

Yet another reason to do it -- so that bug reports about websites not working without Javascript are taken seriously, and fixed.
If it is a computer that predicts astronomical events, seasons etc. as is theorized by some, and if it was built more than 2000 years ago presumably before people understood how the solar system works (I think back then it was not understood that the planets revolve around the Sun) then they must have based the design on a large number of observations recorded over time. If so, then it is also the first application of "big data" in that an algorithm was developed based on data and implemented using a mechanical computer.
Interesting (and IMHO a good thing to require acceptance of cash.) The situation in the US is more subtle:

I don't criticise him, I just think the structure of the project meant it failed to really launch. There are people like me (20y+ C++) that when certainly I think of D, I think of it being a closed project.

It got even worst when shopping malls decide to follow the trend of Green Power and LED lightning while buying some absolute crap to use. The results are there are places I can't go, worst one I will feel dizzy and may want to puke, lesser ones are super annoying I don't want to go.

I hear you, but unfortunately, I have no insights that any random EE (or advanced hobbyist) with some DSP experience wouldn't immediately bring up as well. It's safe to say that anything I could suggest has already ended up in plenty of proposals.

Your customer might not have the manpower to test your product all the time. They're presumably already spending a lot of money on you, they might not want to spend an extra headcount just for testing your work. They might feel that that's your job.
Let’s see it ship before we believe the hype.
It's basically an extension of "everything is a derivative work". I believe it's similar to how you cannot (and should not be able to) erase your employee's brains of the code they worked on.
I don't necessarily agree with this. If I want to watch well produced online content, I do not think Youtube.com. I do think that Netflix and amazon Prime video have "traditional" studio created content that has high production value. That said, I watch youtube and Netflix almost equally, but for different reasons.

Youtube is great for short videos, interviews and niche interest. IF I want to watch scripted drama like NARCOS, I can't find anything close to that on Youtube. At this point, I dont think that they are competitors. The content is not even close to being equal. Im not even saying one is better or worse, they just are too different to call them competition.
Would be nice to have a meta-protocol to negotiate protocols. Probably looks something like game-theory.
Some percent of the time the answer will be yes, and the loss is the difference in price, probably a lot more than $100. It is not unreasonable given no other information to assess the loss at $100, as the report being criticized does. If counterfeit goods didnt hurt sales one way or another, why would brands care so much about stopping them?

I didnt like this economist's article. A lot of economists are also political commentators who like to bring toy economic arguments to bear on problems that really aren't captured by economic theory at all. He appears to be one of them.
You can apologize by not modifying my behavior with your ad tech microscope. Put it back in your pocket.

> now that renewables are increasingly competetive...

... with legacy energy sources.

When talking about fusion / nuclear vs renewables, think in terms of max energy produced per site, not cost per unit.

Similar to total thrust vs specific impulse.

The largest respective power generation stations by source -- Three Gorges Dam / Itaipu Dam (Hydro, 22,500 MW capacity, ~100 TWh/yr), Kashiwazaki-Kariwa (Nuclear, 7,965 MW capacity, 60 TWh/yr, currently suspended for earthquake-proofing), Tengger Desert Solar Park (Solar, 1,547 MW capacity, ? TWh/yr), Alta Wind Energy Center (Onshore Wind, 1,547 MW capacity, 2.68 TWh/yr, Gansu not included due to utilization issues), Walney Wind Farm (Offshore Wind, ~1,000 MW capacity, >1.3 TWh/yr?).

And then realize that hydro & wind are both location-limited. And solar has a large footprint: Tengger is 43km^2.

Nuclear (and eventually fusion) scales footprint much more slowly with capacity. Kashiwazaki-Kariwa is 4.2km^2.
Vote with your feet. The longer you stay, and the deeper in you click (url to url), the more implicit your assent.
There are two primary styles of software development.

The first is “make the change/feature easy, then make the easy change/feature”. I call this Structure-Driven Development (SDD), because the features of the software are emergent properties of the structure of the system. This often concerns various “layers” of the system (HTTP, auth, validation, data access, error-handling, etc).

The second is “make the change that’s currently easiest”. I call this Feature-Driven Development (FDD), because the structure of the app is whatever emerges from feature development. This, naturally, concerns the various features of the software itself, spread across whatever primitive components are already available and usually copying structure from the first few features written.

IMO, successful agile product development involves a mix of these styles. SDD produces better structure at the expense of heavy up-front development costs. FDD helps you figure out where to apply SDD.

I like to start projects with SDD for the first few weeks of a project, then alternating styles every 2 weeks to test and refine structural assumptions (think of it like a REPL for architecture). This also helps keep teams from getting too stuck in either style as many do.

Get locked into SDD, end up not shipping a single feature for weeks. Especially prone to happening on single-developer projects. Especially unlikely with good project management + strong communication between engineers and stakeholders.

Get locked into FDD, code yourself into corners, gradually building a pile of mud that no-one fully understands. Far less likely (but still possible) on single-developer projects. Senior engineering oversight and adequate time budgeting are critical to preventing this.

Both styles have their tradeoffs, and like most things it takes experience/maturity and a dash of luck to navigate the balance successfully on a given project.

One indicator that your SDD is working is that you do much less of it after the first month or two of development, as the structure will be in place and effort can largely shift to features and polish.

> Kids have been sexualized and have to grow up too quickly. Kids have been made into tiny workers that do busy work for most of their childhood, away from their parents, because both parents have to work.

> It's dystopian, disgusting and perverted

Correct me if I'm wrong, but for most of history, weren't "kids" already married and working to support a family when they were in their teens?

I know my grandparents, my great-grandparents, and a few before them were married before they turned 18. And two of my grandparents told me they worked at a factory when they were around 7!

Add to the fact that if you got married and then moved to another state, it could be years before you see your parents again.

After my paternal great-grandmother got married at 16 and moved across the country, she never saw her parents again. They did exchange letters but that was it. And according to my grandfather (her son), it was pretty common.
It does me good to have those 1000 books. When I finish one on the train I get to pick a new one from the device when I don’t have network.
