There are definitely powerful SIGs that operate on behalf of more traditionally marginalized groups, the NAACP stands out. But a look at some other SIGs highlights that those in powerful positions often exert their political influence through SIGs. The ACLU, NRA, AARP and US Chamber of Commerce (surprise! it's not actually a part of the government) are notable examples.

I wonder if the Taliban who are across what looks like an easily fjorded stream knew Westerners were travelling that highway might they cross the border and kidnap and hold a few for ransom?

So far all I have done is use toy examples I have found on Github. Mostly I've used a text editor without an IDE to make small edits, then make to configure, build and flash. I've also used the Arduino IDE for the very simplest examples and mostly moved on to PlatformIO with VS Code.

My goal is sensors to monitor conditions like soil moisture and temperature, and control pumps on a water catchment system for landscaping, and potentially fire safety control purposes.

If I extend the functionality to fire safety control, that might involve starting a generator, and being able to fallback to LoRaWAN to accept simple commands to run programs and send updates on conditions. During extended power outages in the past I've found that cell towers stop working within a day or so, while only a couple line-of-sight miles away all of the infrastructure is working perfectly fine.

Note that for every thousand square feet of roof area, you can collect about 10,000 gallons per year if you're in most parts of Silicon Valley (16" rain/year), or 20,000 if you're near Santa Rosa (30"). Part of the inspiration for water catchment was the price of water, and the inspiration for automation was seeing photos of swimming pools filled to the brim surrounded by complete fire devastation after the Tubbs fire in Santa Rosa.
I think all humans are bounded by 7+/-2 chunks of working memory which I think correlates to upper bound of understandability. Personally I break up methods where I see more than 5-7 unique params/variables/concepts. Also usually co-locating related methods will help which is what OOP does.
Propaganda by Ed Bernays and Public Opinion by Walter Lippmann are two great books on the subject, as well.
I think it's about context. Scandinavians have snow and Ice, so it's more likely they'll skid.

I never had to parallel park, either, for my test, but I also will never parallel park unless I travel 4+ hours away from my home.

I did have to prove I could control/stop a skid on gravel, and make a decision on whether to pull onto the soft shoulder or pass or stop or whatever on a narrow lane. Because there is much gravel and huge machinery moving around here on back roads.

Haskell has a higher learning curve. It takes effort to pick it up. There is no learn Haskell in 5 minutes. But it's syntax is incredibly consistent and beautiful once learned.

Clojure has an incredibly simple syntax, but that isn't so much because it removed the complexity but rather that it just moved it away from the syntax imho.

Indeed, which breaks down the entire market rationale of capitalism right. It seems that we ought to put minimum hold times on shares. There shouldn't be any medium and certainly no short-term shareholders.

Consciousness is nothing mysterious. It is the state of the human body to be aware of itself. It's independent of any organs. It has nothing to do with the heart as previously thought or with the brain as is popular now. But it can be associated with the microbiome because consciousness or self-awareness always reacts to the microbiome. The microbiome serves to consciousness the content it creates in order to lead the consciousness. The self perceives this content as the "inner voice". A cat is not aware of itself as a cat because it experiences its environment directly and not through the filter of language as humans do. During sleep conscioussness "dies" and microbes take over and do their business of repairing the body without the meddling of the consciousness. When they become hungry and they want to be fed they wake up their slave (the consciousness) and serve him beautiful images of crossants and the smell of coffee in order to get their feed which is usually sugar. This is not a physics problem and physicists should take their atomic materialist doctrines with them and get out and continue discussing the temperatures 14 billions years ago in ever greater details. Physicists can have nothing to say about the human body.
This. I drive cars from the 90s for a combination of economic and nostalgia/aesthetic reasons, but every time I get in a recent model, I'm struck by how many of them have seriously compromised fields of visibility by comparison.

Is it just that there's no institutional rating of this sort of thing? I can't imagine that insurers would leave that stone unturned. Or is it really that it makes less of a difference than I'd believe?
Places where it's sunny and windy seem to build out both. I'm not sure why you're talking about which one is "better" when they're different and complementary.
> One problem with this is that a lot of land owners have been in the city for decades and their property tax rates are protected under Prop 13 [0]. Basically their tax rates get adjusted for inflation but aren't reassessed unless ownership changes or there's significant construction.

No, they don't. The tax basis value is adjusted annually to the lesser of the actual value or 2% greater than the previous year’s tax basis value in the absence of an event allowing unrestricted full-market assessment (most sales, for instance.)

The 1% maximum increase does not (except when inflation happens to be unusually low) amount to adjusting for inflation, and it's not done without reassessment (value drops—rare in the Bay but still can happen—are immediately reflected, but increases are capped.)

> Raising tax rates won't touch these people.

Plus, the same thing that creates the limit on basis increases also puts a hard cap on rates.
That has a very simple and obvious answer: it depends whether the regulation makes the market more or less free. Promoting competition is good, setting artificial prices for things is not.
She's a physicist and is addressing the notion that electrons have consciousness. She works in quantum gravity and presumably knows quite a bit about particle theory. Her blog post is solely about the idea that electrons can have consciousness and why she - an expert in physics and quantum gravity - believes this isn't possible. Since, according to her conclusions, electrons can't have consciousness then the idea that all matter has consciousness can't be correct. The logic is quite sound. I don't know if her definition of panpsychism is correct but her logic is sound.

1. Electrons are matter.

2. Electrons don't have consciousness. (according to her argument)

3. Therefore the belief that all matter has consciousness is wrong.

Note that an argument can be logically sound while having a false conclusion. This happens if one of the premises are wrong. In this case it would be her conclusion that electrons can't have consciousness.
This is not an effective way of checking your blind spot. Unless you have a convertible or lean your head out of the window, the C-pillar will still block your vision.

You have to properly configure your side mirror in order to eliminate blind spots in most cars. With a side mirror configured like in the article, you can see everything beside you by sweeping your head just a few inches. This works extremely well, even in a car like a modern Camaro, which has little mirrors, slit windows, enormous b-pillars and a door sill that's higher than most peoples' shoulders.

Using your technique in a car like this will not work for anyone under 6'4 -- which is why so many people complain about the Camaro having visibility of a tank. They use the wrong, old fashion way of checking over your shoulder, rather than relying on properly configured mirrors, which is what I do and have no complaints about side visibility.

All WebGL implementations have significant overhead compared to native GL. For example, just clearing the screen at 60 fps taxes my CPU at 10% on Windows (30% on Linux) while a C program that does the same uses 0% CPU.

The reason for the performance penalty with Firefox on Linux is that the framebuffer content is copied from GPU to host memory, compositing is done and then it's copied back to GPU.

For other platforms I'm not sure.

Further, SIMD support has been removed from Javascript and not been added back to WebAssembly yet, so that's another factor 4-8 for computation-heavy code. Experimental pthread support is only available in Chrome experimental for now due to the Spectre and Meltdown exploits. And general GPU compute apparently is really tricky to implement in a secure way, although DOOM does not use it.
I thought that a lot of the younger nuclear plants were still around, and that only the very old ones were being retired. Also, aren't gas plants peakers (as well as baseload) due to the fact that they can be spun up quicker than coal?
I've been playing games off and on a long time. I had pretty much lost interest in social gaming, but Fortnite came around and it was fun enough for me to keep at it. Now I have decent enough skill to at least compete with the presumably younger people that sink hours and hours daily into it. And interestingly, I find that I approach the game tactics with a bit more wisdom and circumspection than I would've as a younger man, which can be an advantage.

Now, I wholeheartedly agree on your assessment of many games being cynical time and money sinks. It's really a shame. The coolest thing to me about a video game is the world it creates. And I'd rather not my time in that world be devoted to picking up coins everywhere. BioShock Infinite, I'm looking at you. Horizon Zero Dawn, on the other hand, does have some monotony, but overall the game is so enthralling you don't even mind. We need more games like that.

Well yeah, you need to implement the properties and data models in C++ and export them - if you are doing it right that is. But the UI code is very quick and easy to write in return!

Not mainly desktop, true - it is designed mainly for touchscreens, mobile or embedded. It is easy to use exactly because it's not a web technology bent for user interfaces.

Ticketing them is not required though. You could also get them towed by a private towing company that has a deal with that privately owned lot. And trust me, that will still punish the offender's wallet. And unlike ticketing, your turn-around time is going to be much faster. The cops will write a ticket for the guy, but they won't tow him. So if you want the car removed you have to wait for the towing company anyway.
In other words, society wouldn't have progressed much if seeing fire awestruck you every time you saw it.

> manual transmission vehicle

Why? I get that there is going to be a lot of missing sensors, but the automatic transmission is now so ubiquitous that it makes no sense to require you not to. I understand it's a nice additional skill, but in the modern era it in no way proves/disproves one's ability to function on the roadway. In fact, once these sensors all become as equally ubiquitous, there will be very little argument to be made against them as well. Might as well make an argument that you everyone should drive a Benz Patent Motor Car just to really "feel" the car.

Sure!

If you look at the levels of reported 'imposter syndrome', there is a noted rise over the last few years.

I'm assuming here that you are aware of imposter syndrome and perhaps have felt it at times yourself. I certainly have.

To our peers, we pretend we know more than we do to feign this confidence that has almost emerged as necessary since there are so many that can do our jobs as programmers.

This feigned confidence manifests as imposter syndrome. Since we can't be honest (and risk management firing us because we're incompetent), we never quite feel like we're 'good enough' for our jobs.

Does that help?
Only in that it doesn't fundamentally have an analog hole which makes attempting it certifiably insane.

sabine seems to be a physicist without much knowledge of the philosophy of mind (hence why they "just discovered" panpsychism). a shame because if her characterization of panpsychism were correct we would have a tidy little refutation of it. we do not.

> Further ethical constraints and clarifications are forever up for debate.

Like pretty much any debate about ethics I would say.

When I do my deduction, you don't see me trying to make it look like going to the restaurant with my kids is a business expense. It would be possible to argue that it is actually a business expense, it would be legal to, but we can both agree that it's abusing the law and it wasn't actually a business expense.

This is the same, their office in Bermuda (if they even have a physical location there) aren't actually making $23B in 2017, that money was made in others countries, using peoples from theses others countries, using infrastructures from theses others countries, thus theses taxes have to be paid for this reason.

This is what I consider unethical.
Well, I'm curious, and the question is being begged - how are San Francisco policies an administrative and bureaucratic disaster?
Could someone explain to me why we should look into this, because we do not live in an anti-deSitter universe. So what is the relevance (beyond the obvious mathematical curiosity and elegance)?.
Sounds like a doable piece of work for a motivated programmer. I looked at the code base the other day out of curiosity. I found that it was quite nice on first glance. It wouldn't take that long to get into for an experienced Rails dev (which I pretend to be)... who knows...
does subjective experience arise from matter? By which I mean, does it exist?

I realize that seems like a completely bananas question to ask. But any theory of consciousness seems to get into absurd territory very quickly. The only proof we have that consciousness even exists is that each of us (or me, anyway, who knows what you guys are) vehemently professes to experience it. Other than that, all we seem to find is complex web of deterministic reactions.

So what if the question is wrong? When we parse "I think therefore I am", we look at "am" as the insight, but it seems to me the "I" is left undefined.

edit: I'm sorry, I jumped the gun on this a bit, you were saying it doesn't arise. But nevertheless, I'm left uncomfortable declaring something exists that we can not actually perceive from the outside.

Really simple, there needs to be a cold war-mentality cultural shift in America. People need to ostracize their friends who are pro-China, and politicians need to know that they have the unanimous support of the people before we begin to defend and reorient ourselves (certainly on many different levels). Unfortunately, a fair amount of businessmen and a handful of billionaires have business interests in China (while our middle class has a knife twisted into its back), and push pro-China anti-trade war propaganda through the various media outlets that they own, like WaP, NYT, Economist, Financial Times, and so many reasonably intelligent people are deceived into believing that is a fallacy to oppose China, blasting you with sophistic comparisons like the Thucydides Trap. Also, in 2018, we had the unfortunate problem of the Democrats rabidly opposing the trade war, because they believed it to be of their advantage to make Trump look like a fool for engaging in it and against China, while informing people that Russia is the true enemy and that Trump is complicit with them. However, now that the election is over, I think that will die down and their will be bipartisan action. If and only when the people are united against China will there be a stand, although that may not come to pass until things are too late - our culture is more interested in noble virtue signaling and Marvel movies
Not that I disagree with your reasoning (and that going after Meng Wanzhou is a strange and seemingly unnecessary escalation), but China does not really negotiate honestly or play by any set of recognized international rules. I guess you could say the same of the US, but then you see the dilemma.

My, unfortunately cynical, takeaway is that no matter how “woke” we like to think we have become as a global society, everything still eventually boils down to might makes right.

> There's an even simpler, more effective way of checking blind spots: Actually turning ones head and looking over the shoulder.

Properly adjusting your mirrors doesn't mean that you never turn your head and look over your shoulder, but that you don't have to do it nearly as often.

That's good, because physically turning your head is an incredibly slow and risky operation when compared to a glance.
This is not true at all. When changing lanes, scan from over your shoulder, to your side mirror and you get complete coverage. When first setting off, scan from I’ve done shoulder, through to the side mirror, to the front screen, up to the main mirror, out to the other side mirror and finally over the other shoulder to check all around the vehicle before setting off safely.
