love the sandwiches, but "Norway is a rich country with one of the world’s highest rates of GDP per capita. This is partly due to oil reserves in the North Sea, but it’s also to do with the nation’s productivity."

hahahahahahaha "partly" - understatement of the year.

Norway without oil is like Alaska without oil.

That said, Norway has managed their endowment brilliantly and at scale, to such an amazing degree that it gives me hope for the human race.
This is only really true in cities where the major commuting pattern is into the city. In the DC area, for example, most jobs are in Virginia or Maryland, not DC. So the subway benefits the relatively small number of (disproportionately higher income) people who take the subway or a car downtown. It doesn’t really benefit all the folks driving to jobs in Virginia and Maryland.
If you can't see a raised crosswalk, how can you claim to see someone wanting to cross the crosswalk?

It's absurd.

Counter-argument: if the beer-drinker is "selfish," then the onus is on them to drink water instead? Why isn't the water drinker "selfish" for imposing that concept on the innocent beer drinker?
Going over a speed bump at even 15 miles per hour is a minor annoyance, whether you're a driver or a passenger. I'm not surprised people are complaining about them.

Flashing lights make me feel safer as a pedestrian and are less annoying to me as a driver. I don't know how well they actually work, though.
Did you watch the video? They're actually quite difficult to see
That’s a lot of vitriol.

Based on the photos of the cross walk it looks like it isn’t clearly labelled. There’s 3 signs you have to read in order to know what is going on. There should be a sign giving drivers an estimate of the appropriate speed, or something similar.
I remember reading recently that the best-paid positions in SV were for product, not engineering. Take from that what you will.

Generally, programming ability is considered less rare and impactful than leadership/people skills.

Then by the same logic, doing so when other people pay won’t actually help anyone either.
Thanks for posting. These are interesting figures that show airships are not as good as I suspected.
If you don't want people going 35mph down the street, maybe the speed limit shouldn't be 35mph.

Edit: I hate vague traffic signs. "Reduce speed". Ok, I was going 30, now I'm going 20. Is that good enough?
If I saw that for the first time while driving, I would probably think it best to find another way altogether.
NAT traversal (hole punching) works for CGN well, doesn't it? sure you need a coordinator/RP between to CGNed users, but that is not really an issue as far as I know.

Hi. I completely agree. C++ is there for very fine control and serves the purpose well (and is constantly adding more control, e.g. trivially relocatable).

My biggest goal for a CS 101 class would just to build computational and critical thinking skills. I would love to just start off with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches[1]. As an engineering department, our students start with an engineering programming class that needs to also serve chemical, mechanical, civil, material, and biomedical engineers along with electrical and computer engineers(I hope I didn't leave anyone out).

Because of you i know who Ricegum is, you owe me.
You can get several kinds of guarantees out of these combinations: the microcontroller gives you an environment suitabke for guaranteed timings (not just latency), but also a seperate domain to isolate your software in. So stuff like highly safety critical code goes into the microcontoller (e.g. tight monitoring and control loops) while the complex application fluff (UI, networking, bells and whistles) goes on the main CPU with a big, convenient OS to develop on. And both parts can barely influence each other in unintended ways.

There are a lot of boards on the embedded systems market that use e.g. ARMs big.LITTLE architecture for that.
I guess it's, like, the author's style to use the ..., like, ... construction, but that makes it no less annoying.
Sure, allow the government to construct sports stadiums. The government can then make it free for any sports team to use (though preferential treatment of any one team has to be prevented), and since it's a public building any revenue generated from ticket sales goes towards operating the building, with leftovers going back to the government (just like libaries, museums etc). There's nothing really wrong with that. Naming rights also obviously stay with the government, anything else would be silly.
Playing devil's advocate, if you believe that we are a capitalist society (not advocating for or against capitalism) and operating under an efficient market then society does in fact value professional athletes on an individual basis more than doctors as they are paid far more.

Also I would argue that professional athletes playing their chosen sport for the entertainment of those watching are doing far more than showing off, they are in fact paid employees of high revenue corporations.

With that said I don't think athletes should be using anabolics nor do I think doctors should be using anti depressants except under the recommendation of a neutral psychiatrist.
Although I totally agree. The arguments here aren’t very well laid out. I feel like we got some thesis statements but no data to back anything up.

It won't necessarily be for the router. The packet could be addressed to one of the machines on your LAN, in which case nothing NAT does will stop the router from happily forwarding it right through.

NAT does nothing to stop a router from forwarding any given packet -- and that's something that's still true regardless of what IP range you're using on the LAN side.
OTG is the company behind the iPad concept [1], and there are large installations at IAH, YYZ, LGA, etc.

I don't know, they're ok. I wouldn't use the iPads to surf but they're a great food ordering tool. The one advantage is that the seats at these iPad stations are usually very comfy. They also free you up from having to look for seating at a busy food court. I was once able to order Popeye's from several gates away where things were quieter, and my food was brought to me.

When you say P2P, it's only in a technical sense of not having centralized servers, right? I don't want to interact with nodes I don't own, for my particular use case.
As far as I can tell, the references you gave do not support your implication that there are benefits to nicotine smoking.

"The heaviest smokers" refers to THC smokers, not nicotine, which is the topic at hand. It may be that nicotine smoking does the same, but your reference does not show that that has been demonstrated outside of a Petri dish.

The "no benefits" refers to human health, not birds. Even with humans, smoking benefits the wealth of the cigarette manufacturer, which may lead to better health. But that also was not the point.

The prison/tobacco leaf development farm comparison cannot be used to judge the effect of nicotine smoking on one's health. For one, the paper does not mention which population smoked more, nor does it report nicotine levels in the stool samples. For all we know, the prison population may smoke 4x more than the farm workers. Or 1/4th as much.

The "In vitro anthelmintic effect of Tobacco" paper described in your link refers to study in a Petri dish of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of tobacco. It describes how "Dried leaves, stalks and the whole herb of tobacco are widely used as an anti inflammatory, antirheumatic and anthelmintic agent" and cites other papers which use nicotine extracts. This paper therefore cannot be used to conclude there is a beneficial in vivo effect of smoking tobacco.

Lastly, while the blood does indeed go through the lungs, it is wrong to say "a single central hub", as the heart is also a central hub.

Spaceflight is expensive. Every watt for a better camera means a watt away from scientific equipment. Power on such missions is micromanaged by necessity.

The functional purpose of the camera is in assisting dis-mounting and post-dismounting inspection. It did that. It also sent home good pictures.

I've been using syncthing for a few years because I was sick of missing files when going from my laptop to desktop and vice versa. I wanted to sync most folders in my /home directory (documents, photos, videos, code...) While ignoring node_modules folders.

It has worked surprisingly fantastically. I thought I would need a server to use as a "master" but syncthing actually supports merging folders automatically. It does not need a static IP address for either computer and it will opportunistically sync my laptop and desktop when they are both on the same network.

I had no idea before I tried using it that syncthing could support such a setup so well. High praise.
The 65k limit only applies to concurrent connections to the same remote ip and port. Meaning that you can only make 65k connections from a single IP to the same port of another IP. Which is unlimited for all practical purposes. However, popular services that could potentially see a lot of connections - ban IP addresses, do rate limiting, don't allow that many connections from a single IP. This in turn drives policies of small number of clients per IP, sometimes even rotating IPs, all to minimize effect of bans on users sharing the same IP.
You have to invest that money somewhere and the place with the best infrastructure to get what you need built matters more than the taxes you may pay on the profit.
How can I remove Google from my life?
Even so, driving over these at 35mph is damaging to a vehicle.

> Note the key difference between Space X and Boom. Space X took well-understood rocket engine technology and made it cheaper. It didn’t try to fight fundamental physics.

That's quite a revisionist characterization of SpaceX's 15-year toil, which many had described as impossible. Elon Musk said it best in March 2017 [0][1] when they achieved the revolutionary feat of successfully landing a reused rocket:

“It’s the difference between having airplanes that you threw away after every flight, verses reusing them multiple times."

“It’s been 15 years to get to this point, I’m sort of at a loss for words. This is a great day, not just for SpaceX but for the space industry as a whole, in proving that something could be done that many people said was impossible.”

I certainly wouldn't call something that had never been done before by anyone a well-understood technology.

> And there hasn’t been fundamental changes in the physics since those prior efforts. It’s a different bet.

You may be correct on the physics, but you are ignoring other dimensions that could make this endeavor feasible. The first Concorde flew 50 years ago. Our understanding of CFD, materials science, manufacturing techniques etc has progressed significantly from what they were 50 years ago.

Speed limits are pretty ineffective at reducing speed, although they are good at communicating expectations (which is one the issue here). Iirc the green book recommends road narrowing for slowing down drivers.
How would you propose to solve the problem? Most attempts thus far have relied up getting attending doctors to do detailed data entry about patient state into an EHR, but that by itself is time consuming and detracts from immediate patient care.

Maybe someday AI and NLP technology will serve to automate much of the data capture, but we're many years away from those technologies being a practical reality.
That's not what I was suggesting these libs do. You receive JSON as text over the wire. Instead of parsing it into native Js objects, it's instead parsed into alternative implementations of immutable data structures. There's nothing inefficient about it.
Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one who think so.
We’re discussing “government budget” here. The marginal revenue brought by that extra payment is exactly the same as when everyone else pays it.
> cars should already be driving below 35mph since that's the road's speed limit

Let me stop you right there. What's generally accepted in the US--not sure about other countries--is to keep your speed less than 10 over the speed limit. This is commonly cited by new and old drivers, driving teachers, and traffic enforcement police. If cars are bottoming out when going over the bump at the speed limit, the road is built wrong.

I was OBSESSED with this game when I was a kid. Always bummed that it was never ported to anything else, the design style was a lot of fun.

Fun fact: Billy West (Fry from Futurama) did some of the voice acting for this game!
Widespread undernourishment and hunger was not defeated by charity. It was defeated by government. Widespread access to clean water was not accomplished by charity. It was accomplished by government. Widespread access to education was not accomplished by charity. It was accomplished by government. Widespread access to medical care for poor children was not accomplished by charity. It was accomplished by government.

Thus it is safe to say that government is much more efficient at accomplishing these goals than charity. Charity is much more efficient at the margins. It’s great for the fringe cases once the majority of the problem has been addressed.
The law is messier than you would think. At least in WA (where I live) if a pedestrian steps out when it would be unreasonable to expect the car to be capable of stopping (e.g. you step out a foot in front of a car that is going the speed limit and you weren’t visible) the driver is not responsible.
Although I completely agree about the general premise, it's borderline intellectually dishonest to include a link to your own web site as a reference (the "infrastructure" link). Just include the direct references to third parties, like in the footnote.
Thank you for going the extra mile for your patients. I'm sure you saved lives that way.

Too many hackers make the mistake of thinking that human bodies are deterministic machines that respond consistently to inputs just like computers. The reality of medical care is far more complex.
At a train station where you're raising pedestrians to get over the tracks already it'd be less difficult to integrate.
After a quick scan, I only saw this used once. Does it really bother you that much?

That said, the ellipsis construction is used in an attempt to make text feel more like casual conversation — in this case, something like drawing out the preceding word in a questioning manner or a maybe a pregnant pause. This is a very standard device used in the register that Matt Levine uses for his column, and I imagine that most people find that these casual devices he uses makes his column more accessible for a wider audience.
Is your complaint that the /64 allocation from ISPs is too big or too small? And are you primarily thinking of residential/"end-user" ISPs?
Please provide evidence that they're "sending a personal profile of your browsing preferences compiled from metadata" anywhere.

As far as I can tell, the only data that's sent is what Pocket-recommended links were displayed, and if you clicked on them. Is that what you're claiming constitutes a "profile"?
It would be a random address from a given subnet, yes. Basically the privacy, tracking and banning implications of this are more or less the same as they are with v4+NAT, with the v4 public IP mapping to the v6 subnet.

Note that there's still no way to map a subnet to a person, just like there's no way to map a public v4 address to a person.
Did you watch the video? The raised-ness of the crosswalk is practically invisible. This wouldn't be news if it weren't confusing the shit out of all the locals. When's the last time you saw a damn speed bump in the local paper headlines?!

Maybe instead of assuming other people are idiots, just accept that people are people. There's probably a better solution here.
Not the truely Scottish ISPs. :>
When Home Ec Classes Borrowed Babies
The C11 rules for static values are pretty explicit:

```
If an object that has static or thread storage duration is not initialized explicitly, then:

- if it has pointer type, it is initialized to a null pointer;

- if it has arithmetic type, it is initialized to (positive or unsigned) zero;

- if it is an aggregate, every member is initialized (recursively) according to these rules, and any padding is initialized to zero bits;

- if it is a union, the first named member is initialized (recursively) according to these rules, and any padding is initialized to zero bits;
'''

I think that covers every possible value you can create, and it seems pretty non-indeterminate by my reading.
I believe the US has unilaterally backed out of the International Chocolate Shake Treaty, to the consternation of our global allies.

It really depends. In my own software, I really appreciate when code is "clean" like that. I find it easier to keep in my head when methods are short.

It also depends on logic reuse. If you are now able to use the `check` method in other places, then I say it's overall a successful refactor.
Could you expand on these problems? Why is SS7 an issue? (Aren't telcos moving to IP based platforms? Device registration on towers can work on whatever protocol the device supports the base station encapsualtes/proxy-es/processes that further, and the telco can use whatever routing it wants internally - eg iBGP. Or even some fancy OpenFlow based control plane.) And of course the issues with BGP seem even more interesting, if you could detail those too ot'd be great.
As it turns out, homeless people can't easily keep laptops on them and afford to hang out at Starbucks all day. Public libraries give them and other low income people opportunities to develop skills and education, and electronic resources to find a long-term career that can take them out of poverty.
Lost me about the time they said we must have global financial regulation. First of all, that sounds really scary, since it would doubtless (whatever the initial intentions) be written by and for the largest financial institutions. But, second of all, it's not so scary because the chances of the U.S.A, Russia, China, India, and western Europe all agreeing on a single financial regulatory authority are nil. Objectively nil, since not even within western Europe were they able to do that.

I think the writer is part of the late 20th-early 21st century intellectual elite, who learned that globalization is the future, who are now stuck in a state of cognitive dissonance because things seem to be going "backwards". Since it is an article of faith that this cannot be the case, they are trying to argue their way into a different scenario.

For better or worse, the nation state is not going away, and it appears to have been on the ascendance for some years now.
I have only respect for your idea and approach. The tricky part is figuring out where and how to apply it.

I think of the time I spent coding "lunar lander" and how I then read a physicist's description about the algorithms that I had implemented. I discovered that all the code I had created was really garbage - it was simplified to the point of fiction compared to anything in the real world. So there is an opportunity cost - what could I have been coding that would have been both instructive as code and for the problem domain too? There are lots and lots of good answers, and probably even more bad answers.

First we would have to ask what we want to accomplish from the code perspective as well as from a science perspective. My own personal preference is for mechanics and dynamics - perhaps in a 3D context (so matrix algebra would get involved.) This can be related to real-world things (building failures, game design, etc.) Also both coding and science principles are fairly well understood in that domain (well, it would be relatively easy to explain many of the mechanics issues - such as Feynman did in his well known books. And then there are the recent model failures due to poorly understood energy storage discovered for energy in structures during earthquakes. No models really exist to describe that yet.) And other science areas would certainly work. I don't know "weather", but I'm sure that there are some edge cases where simplified models are meaningful and insightful.

The reality is that it is very difficult to create good Training. And if you are trying to do two things at once - teach coding and physics - it is even harder. That is why there are usually prerequisites, so that coding can be taught, and then physics taught. I truly wish you only the best.
> How do you know if it would be stupid and ineffective?

Because you can already pay more taxes than required in many places, and (almost) nobody does so.

> Perhaps he’s representative of rich people who want to pay more tax.

He is representative — he doesn't pay more than is required. He is proposing that the government require people like him to pay more taxes, which would mean that low income people pay less.
