Recommended daily caffeine limit is usually quoted at around 400mg for an adult, although there's not a lot to back that number up.

The sentence you highlighted has nothing to do with WWII.

Eisenhower was president from 1953 to 1961.

There is a contradiction between privacy and law enforcement only if you think in rudimentary, white/black extremes.

Why don't you allow for shades of gray, workable anonymity that protects most regular people yet can be lifted by law enforcement in a auditable and costly process that rules out mass surveillance? Why can't we have crypto-banks that know you identity yet can't freeze your assets, only atest to them when compelled so by law? Can you mathematically prove such constructs are not possible? Is there a possibility they could serve society's needs better than either the current banking system or the Bitcoin-style hodge-podge?

> The key evidence to me that full stack is mostly BS is that it only crops up in web roles.

Scientific computing / Data Science / Machine learning is an area that benefits from people knowing the full stack. Siloed environments, where the scientists don’t talk to the engineers and the engineers don’t talk to ops are especially poisonous to this type of work.

Research and science requires a lot of trial and error and the compartmentalised waterfall style of development doesn’t work well.
Well, because that itself would become another attack vector. You need some sort of post-review after something is flagged malicious to prevent arbitrary take downs.
Trains are not actually easy to run with renewable energies. You need constant power over long distances to run trains effectively.

I would much rather have a coal or nuclear plants to run a fleet of trains rather then a bunch of batteries and some solar panels. Any volcano could disrupt not just air travel but also take down your land based transportation system.

But I agree insofar has having transportation being electric is a good thing. The same could be done for planes at some point. Elon Musk actually has a surprisingly good idea for an electric plane but he has no time to do it.
SpaceX spent less than 100mm year until 2012, and delivered something that cost others billions to create. As mentioned elsewhere, there is a lot of inertia in older/larger corporations.
This is not a will issue. It's not that against their will they're taxed. It's that they've successfully managed not to pay, contravening the supposed stance of the company.

Serious question: How do you enforce the will of the majority at the same time as protecting the interests of the minority? It seems to me that this only really allows the minority to set the agenda in most scenarios and the majority can only enforce their will in a "complete control" situation.

EDIT:

Why do states need representations in Congress at all? Aren't states arbitrary divisions anyway, as it relates to policy? Given that, why should we protect smaller states? I would like to know a/the rational basis for that, given that much policy is still left up to the state government so that they may govern their populace effectively as needed in their specific geographical region. Would it be better to protect them in the way of ensuring their ability to make their own laws as-needed isn't overridden by a proportionally-represented Congress? The requirement of equal representation of states (arbitrary) is causing unequal representation of people (what states are made of), which is what government is truly here for.

Equal representation in Senate = whoever has the highest (or at least "most correct as it relates to our map") geographical distribution has the ability to control legislative outcomes. But geographical distribution does not mean majority, and that's where we're at today. This then causes unequal representation of the people in presidential elections via the electoral college and thus further entrenches the unequal representation of the people.

I'd have to say that I disagree with the author's solution and that I really only see one choice, which is to merge (i.e. get rid of) the Senate with the House. The author's solution is merely the same thing by a different name. We should also abolish the electoral college, as this has the same effect as a Senate-type body on a democracy.
Not that long ago there was a few HN post about running on the metal that started off with this [0] (also called "Space Shuttle Style). Also speaking of NASA, they - and many other government departments - use a system called Technology Readiness Level (TRL)[1 -image] [2 - 1pg pdf]. This is used enough that you'll see it in HN comments. With humans on board, you are basically aiming for TRL 8. Look at the steps there and you'll quickly see that 4 years is pretty freaking fast. This not only includes code, but hardware. Everything has to be thoroughly vetted. In a typically contract you can go from TRL 1-3 in 6mo. 3-4 in 6mo-1yr. 4-5 in 1-2yrs. And so on. My guess is that the Tesla stuff is closer to TRL 5 or 6, since there is a driver involved. You'd need TRL 8 at level 4/5 to get fully autonomous driving approved. As it should.

As software people I think many will laugh at the low TRL of their own work. It isn't too bad or anything since other sectors need to move fast (probably security people will disagree). But other sectors need to move slow and ensure that things don't break. Because things breaking means people dying.

The miniaturization of transistors ain't jet science.
The thing is, considering the current state of web development, "front-end/back-end/full stack" labels just don't hold up. Knowing cache strategies, all the subtleties of consuming full blown services, orchestrating computing distribution, etc. used to be deemed "back-end" because the webserver did it. Now with service workers, background workers, fetch api, indexedb and many new browser apis and frameworks, you can run all that in a browser. Does that make it in fact "front-end stuff" ? And all the complex tooling to set to do efficient SSR/code splitting, with all this transpiling and bundling, forcing you to understand http, resource and module loading, file system, componentized architecture... Is it more "backendy"?
I recently interviewed for a "full stack" job, first thing I did was asking what they imagined the daily tasks to be. Turned out, it was mostly about dealing with stuff involving data and request flow orchestration spanning on both services and browser, and wiring up some react components to handle the data flow / rendering. The "UI" components are handled by a team of specialists in UI/UX/semantics/accessibility/animation... So what should the job be called ? Client-server app developer? Glue developer? Backend guy who knows the browser as an app platform? Developer of all the stuff you can't see on screen?
I've seen other companies using "full stack" for other meanings. "UI guy who knows how to deploy", "service guy who knows enough to diagnose and patch the front when UI guy has higher priorities", "guy who make templates render data", "guy who will be able to perform maintenance tasks accross all the layers while specialists handle the features"...
So for me, the true problem is that we are collectively bad at describing what we do, and give to non-tech people some umbrella terms that spread more confusion.

In your settings there's an option to tun this off (I agree, a truly terrible user-hostile default).
Weather issues are one problem for airships. Actual ships are an option for transatlantic routes but there is basically one limited alternative for that. People basically want cheap and fast. Once you get beyond driving that mostly means subsonic planes.
Augeas – a configuration API for everything
Some of the numbers in the article are unsourced and highly questionable. 130-140dB dynamic range of hearing? That's the difference between an anechoic chamber (~10-20dB) and enough sound pressure to literally rupture your eardrums (~150dB). Maybe you can technically perceive that dynamic range... once.

I certainly agree that artifacts in 128kbps MP3s are noticeable but the assertion that 320kbps AACs or MP3s created with modern encoders are audibly different from uncompressed audio really needs some evidence. Every single double blind test I have seen conducted between them has shown that nobody can tell.
It's pretty obvious that accumulation of genetic and epigenetic errors -- bit rot -- is a major factor.

But there's also a developmental issue. Neoteny played a substantial role in human evolution. And as people get older, they tend to look more and more like adult "prehuman" primates. Bushy eyebrows. Hair on the ears.
It's not miserable at all -- in fact, I personally think that it makes most websites better. If a website can't operate without JS, then I just don't use that site. No loss to me.

VMs are another reasonable approach. I don't do that, though, because it's more hassle than it's worth to me.

That's not my primary concern. My primary concern is really to stop bad behavior that is very common across all websites (tracking, etc.)
To say nothing of what audio compression does to music (Ref: loudness wars [0])

I was intrigued by this paragraph in the article:

>> Psychoacoustics is the study of how humans perceive sound, and it's relevant here because advocates of lossy data compression argue that when listening to CD-quality audio, it is impossible for our brains to perceive all the data reaching our ears. It is, therefore, unnecessary — the argument goes — to store and reproduce all of that data. But which data can be removed is another question, and this is why various psychoacoustic principles are exploited in different amounts by different perceptual audio coding algorithms.

I wonder if different people will perceive sound differently (in terms of frequency and dynamics) purely based on physiological/psychological traits?

Ethics reduce profit, thus they are ignored when there is no regulator or law enforcing them.
I would argue that it is transitive but diminishes in proportion to the degrees of separation and depends upon both awareness and the nature of the association. For example, discounting somebody's moral standing for knowingly befriending a pedophile seems more reasonable than discounting their moral standing because their cousin unknowingly befriended a pedophile.
You can't ensure this natively either.
Many hourly jobs actually don't get paid for sick time off, or sick hours are accrued as a benefit that you use-or-lose. The former scenario is obviously not fraud, but even in the latter scenario they've earned the pay they're getting while sick from prior work.
Burning hydrogen today deprives the market of 5 billion years from now. I'm not trying to be pedantic. Nothing throws off good things for free.

I think what we're both touching on here, and what the article touches on as well, is the question of what happens when the accumulation of wealth becomes so great, that it's utility becomes almost incomprehensible. We know the sun consumes matter, but to speak of the markets 5 billion years from now is so incomprehensible, that the energy produced today might as well be 'free'. The discussion stops being an economic one and turns into a religious one.

To bring it back to the article, what I understand you to be saying is, what if the Congolese Trading Window had opened into the living room of someone who could throw off good things for 'free'. They won't purchase goods that deprive someone else of having them. So basically, a never-ending flow of rice comes out of this window. This person, or even just the window if there's no person attached, literally becomes a god. It's why the sun has been worshiped. It's why feudal lords had the honorific 'lord'. The disparity in wealth between a parent and child is so great that religions have used the terms 'mother' and 'father' to describe nature and deities. A King's Divine Right. The Emperor's Mandate of Heaven. We could find others I think.

In all of these cases, there is still consumption of resources to produce something, just that the scale at which this happens is beyond the realm of understanding for the end-user. We have a decent idea that the sun will be burning in however many billion years, but will markets exist? No clue, so yeah, it's 'free'. Before we knew these facts, it was grounds for worship, but now, we just know it as physics.

You asked if I thought if to produce without consuming was the worst possible thing, and then mentioned that the need to consume was missing the core insight. What is your answer to your question?
My biggest fear with On-Demand is that there's no cap to the cost, and an unruly service or access pattern could blast up the RCUs/WCUs instead of getting a simple throttle and timeout. Is this a valid fear, and is there any way around it if so?

There are many startups coming up with solidstate lidars that will be commercialized in the next two years. Teslas of today without lidars during that time will have big disadvantage compared to the competition. I am assuming Tesla will also release one with Lidar in 2020 though Elon Musk publicly say it is not needed. Like Steve Jobs he will change his statement when Tesla releases one with lidar.
It's quite simple really, I'm pro-Brexit for two reasons primarily: The EU has legislated against religious displayed in the workplace.

Do decentralized web of trust schemes actually work? What are the precedents? AFAIK, only centralized webs of trust work, and even those still leak around the edges and take some degree of active policing to defend.

It's also not as rare as it should be. In my area recently, a man died because he couldn't afford the oxygen supply he required.
I think at this stage, nobody is certain. But I tend to side with more information is better, and you filter what you don't need. Same reason sensor fusion algorithms use the gyroscope and accelerometer in concert to measure movement.

Not seeing it. I've spent some time working in a (state, not federal) legislative office and have a political science degree (specialized in pragmatics of US politics.) I've seen some of her interviews. I don't see anything that indicates that she would be incompetent as a legislator. Could you explain the basis for your assessment?
I mean, google was the innovator for many of these practices. They originated Gerrit and no code review tool comes close to critique, although GitHub and co are catching up.

Nonsense. It's less than 1% of our carbon emissions iirc. In theory we could convert that over to biofuels and/or hydrocarbons produced using CO2 from the atmosphere, at which point it would be carbon neutral. It may be the only reasonable way to get the energy density we need for practical air travel in the near term.
It's interesting that in 1983 global warming was not on Asimov's radar. He mentioned overpopulation and pollution, but nothing about CO2.

Even if you're running your trains off coal, you still win. Large scale power production is inherently more efficient. And we can do a lot better than coal of course, natural gas is much better for air quality. Current nuclear is miles better in terms of pollution and speculative near-future fission (LFTR,etc) could be damn near "renewable" in terms not having to worry about running out of the stuff. You've also got hydro, wind, solar, etc. In practice those later three aren't nearly as unreliable as you make them out to be.

Anyway, the point is that grid power is excellent no matter were you get it from, and because you can run them off the grid trains are exceptional.
It’s pointless to scream at this flying tree though. Methane and energy production emissions both completely overshadow emissions from aircraft, and have actionable, less painful paths for improvement.
The "wouldn't rape you" tweet is crass but the first, longer quote is a perfectly reasonable point of view.
The title of this article is "Security researcher cracks Google's Widevine DRM (L3 only)". That it affects only their L3 streams is an important distinction I think. The article goes on to explain that, "the hack works only against Widevine L3 streams, and not L2 and L1, which are the ones that carry high-quality audio and video data.

Any user who cracks a Widevine L3 stream would only gain access to grainy low-quality video and lo-fi audio."
