Would you be saying the same thing if someone said North Korea was democratic and then dismiss any arguments that it isn't democratic as 'semantics'? Simplistic generalizations on complex, broad, and especially controversial topics pretty much always results in ignorance based conclusions.
Ah, the credit cards or other documents is a good point. That would extend to any meeting room with notes or slides on the wall.
I checked out Xapiand several months ago after I stumbled across it during a fit of Github browsing. It certainly seems fast and very easy to add documents but there is so little documentation that I was unable to test it out in any significant way. I'm very interested to see where the project goes, especially if Xapian itself switches away from the GPL.
Yep, this is bad though.
Data Dictionary vs. Business Glossary
Sure, that is widely useful.

You can apply that to the real world if you then add social processes and see "knowledge" or "truth" as shared belief between a chosen set of people (or all of humanity). Then you can go down the whole rabbit hole of beliefe aggregation and voting theory.
> You give the greatest trust to reviews provided by the anonymous identities you have transacted with.

I don’t quite follow. Consumers deal with merchants. Consumers give reviews to merchants. So the anonymous identities you mention will be customers that I don’t know. Merchants won’t review each other, I presume.

In other words, as I understand it, the “anonymous identities I’ve transacted with” will be merchants, who don’t review other merchants.

> If a merchant creates 1000 sock-puppet consumers, they won't be reachable from your trust network, so you'll give them little if any weight.

What if do a successful deal with this merchant? Will I then trust that all those 1000 fake transactions took place? And will the people who trust me also believe that?
How is 2 & 3 from above different from 4?

An unknown input producing correct results is still a problem - the unknown input is the problem.

That's nothing like the situation in London.

There is nothing to stop visitors from using either contactless card payments, Android/Apple pay, or an Oyster card. Oyster cards are easily purchased from all stations, especially places many people arrive like Heathrow Airport. They're promoted on websites aimed at tourists like visitlondon.com, and covered in every guidebook to the city. The £5 deposit and any remaining balance is refundable at many machines, and doesn't expire.
I don't really believe product that requires another product to supply such an easy task.
> It's well know that if you start using C# , your entire stack will generally be MS based...(SQL Server, Azure etc... )

This is very not true. For the past 2 years or so of using C# I never used MSSQL, Azure or even Windows.
In case you were wondering, this is from a deleted scene in Pulp Fiction:

> Mia Wallace: "There are only two kinds of people in the world, Beatles people and Elvis people. Now Beatles people can like Elvis and Elvis people can like the Beatles, but nobody likes them both equally. Somewhere you have to make a choice. And that choice, tells you who you are."
Right, I don't understand why interrupting everyone's work in a local team is acceptable...
>A philosopher might say that these aren’t bona fide Gettier cases. True gettiers are rare.

I beg to differ. Besides the examples in programming the author gave, I can very easily think of examples in medicine, police work (e.g. regarding suspects), accounting, and so on...
It is an extremely frustrating practice (emailing you the password). I find that I have to go through this every few days for whatever reason and I've had cases where the email from Notion took five minutes to arrive.
The only reason would be for regular visitors who don't have British bank cards, but do pay an unreasonable transaction fee to their bank for foreign purchases.

TFL gather together all journeys made per day, so no matter how many journeys are made with the same contactless card there will be one charge made. However, an awful foreign bank might charge $2 per transaction, which could be more than the refundable deposit on an Oyster card.
I had deaf friends who had a flashing light baby monitor (flashed a light in their bedroom)... in 1985. There have to be better solutions now.
Did you expect her to visit absolutely everything in London in a couple of days of visit? That's not going to be possible, is it?
That's a good point. We didn't trigger that mechanic because we have a Free plan. However, by doing that we weren't targeting our "ideal customer" which is definitely a paid one.

On the other hand, if we would lower the CTR by defining the price, we would have higher CPCs or lowered the number of impressions due to a low Quality Score. Even if we WOULD get lower CPLs, that won't bring ROI since users still won't activate on our platform.

The problem wasn't about Google Search Ads settings: we hired skilled SEMs and everything. The problem was about the product-market fit understanding and segmenting potential customers based on related value props and keywords.
Fair point. Perhaps forcing us to be on Mars can teach us something about sustainability here on earth. Here's hoping.

Transport for London at the moment is fully self-funding from ticket prices, which I think is unusual elsewhere in Europe.
rust/c++/c has no gc and better performance/efficiency compared to java/golang. so you get excited for a library/db in those languages

golang is kinda a java alternative. a db/search-engine in java/golang kinda sucks (it will under pressure)

> Take a jangly language like JS, and add some typing for the compiler

It so turns out that there is a great sweet spot in between the straight jacket typing of classic Java/C# and the loose "do way ever you like" approach in Python/JS.

I don't want use another language that doesn't have optional typing and structural typing. It combines the best of both ends of the spectrum.
Unfortunately, no one can give you a way that would work for you, because that's kind of the point: you adjust your internal representation to your strengths. But here's an example of how I'd map it to a memory palace, based on what I did for my driver's license test.

In my case, I'd walk into the living room of my old house and I "see" that someone wrote "ct24" on the floor. That's all I need to remember that I'm trying to reconstruct that pr[A].pr[A^c_t]<=e-(t^2)/4, because I know I'm reconstructing an inequality, exponents of e are often negative, and I know that I need to parse that text as [][ct][t24] (which are the exponents and sub-indices I need).

I then picture that a guy comes to me and says "Hi, I'm Paxton", and he's wearing a t-shirt with an Omega symbol. With that, I can reconstruct A_t={x in Omega|p(A,x)<=t} (in case you didn't catch it, I map p(A,x)<=t to "Paxton").

And so on. Note that I can take some shortcuts here because I'm playing to my strengths of being used to equations, and therefore I don't need to memorize that the second step defines A_t because it comes naturally.

For a completely different approach, you can picture a kid trying to say "Practice", but he mumbles instead "Pra... Pract...et... 24!", which you can map back to the equation ("Pract" = Pr[a^c_t]). The fact that the "24!" at the end comes out of nowhere only makes the scene more memorable, and therefore easier to remember.
Specialized data structures can be built that contain primitives and other types supporting this kind of thing. But you still can't store arbitrary data because they could contain FFI pointers, handles to native resources, things that need to run destructors etc.

So to do this safely all the types must be whitelisted through a custom trait. Copy is close, but not quite, since references are still Copy.
SSHaha: social engineering via SSH
In science, experiments with a good control is how this problem is removed. And repetition is how to control for coincidences and outlier measurements.

Software engineering has many of these Gettier cases, because most software engineers do not follow the scientific method when investigating a problem!
Agree on that, the problem was about target market segmentation & keywords. The insight is that we shouldn't focus on a broad market (and test hypotheses for different product parts separately).

In response to this the British police have recently changed the law allowing them to chase and hit motorcyclists with their cars. Last year, the gangs would ride scooters without wearing a helmet. This would mean that the police weren't authorised to chase them, as chasing them could cause them to drive dangerously and harm themselves

Google Maps (on Android at least) has an awful style when using it as a pedestrian. The map overemphasises the road numbers like A3, and it can be difficult to find the name of the road.

Maybe nothing worth shipping back to earth, but perhaps resources for shipping to orbit. Fuel, space ship components, or entire ships or satellites.

Older houses have interesting wiring. I've even seen a 5A circuit (once) in a really old place, varnished cotton clad copper wire and other interesting stuff.

Also (in NL), a fire that had started in a junction box that somehow died out without becoming more serious. That was a pretty scary find in a house that I had just bought.
Definitely, traffic source matters. We always analyze the funnel broken down by referrals. However, the case was largely about wrong target market segmentation & keywords.

Say you write some movement software.

You expect that people will move forward, left, or right.

You didn't expect people to try moving backward.

People start moving backward, but the software happens to do the right thing due to how it was written.

Is the software defective because of your missed expectation?

Peel the Onion: Recognition of Android Apps Behind the Tor Network
This was at one point (in the AI winter before the 2006, I believe) referred to as the "starving at the door" problem.

The "problem" was that a rational robot (or rational human) needs to decide to open a door or not. He can't just stay in front of the door, because eventually he'll die. So the "cost" of waiting is small, but accumulating. And of course, we know this is stupid.

He also cannot open the door. There might be a bear behind the door, which might kill him. Small, but nonzero chance of that happening. Cost of death is inf (because it fails all other goals, it must be a higher cost than the sum of failing everything, therefore effectively it's infinite).

So a rational robot/human will never open the door. Rather he'll die in front of it, from exhaustion. The fun thing is that you actually see this behavior in rule based reasoning systems. They will refuse to do anything at all, because it might kill them (even if they technically don't know what death is this still happens. They can still add together the costs of failing everything). You have to go in and manually remove these cases if you want things to work.

So yes, you need a belief system. Even a purely rational decision making systems needs a belief system. To solve this problem it needs to believe it will never die (or at least that a sufficiently small chance of death means death never occurs). The fun thing is, this is a true belief: it's demonstrably wrong. In a practical system there will be a lot more beliefs than just this one.
We also have significantly more people on Earth though. If anything, more planets makes us more self sustainable in the future.
> - We tend to only hire highly experienced people. There's nobody with under 8 years of work on the team. Juniors will have to somehow convince us they can do it; it's somehow more believable that an older person will be able to work independently than a younger one.

Hm, does that imply that you don't have any process or provisions to train up juniors / begineers?
Oh look a YouTube video to a talking head. I wonder what ideologies he thinks are ignoring science? Maybe an interesting perspective on differences in town-planning outcomes, or a critique of economic schools compared to real world measurements...nope! Of course he has a lot of opinions on feminism, homosexuality and for some reason seems to have a lot of trouble imagining himself discussing these topics without offending people.
How does this logic apply to Dimebag Darrel?
Exactly my point.

If someone emits a criticism it MUST mean that they want "an American system" and "to sell the profitable parts to the friends and family of conservative politicians" because, of course, that's the only alternative to the current situation...

So it's fine to criticise as long as the criticism is limited to suggesting that perhaps the hospital's car park could be slightly cheaper, if that's not too much bother, please, sorry.

Hence why people either say that everything's great or keep quiet.

It's not as much as you'd think, specially if you can survive on the first couple of decades with regular shipments from earth, mostly for very advanced materials and electronics.

A lot of manufacturing capacity in our society is redundant and focused on non-essential items. In addition, some manufacturing processes are complex because of the scale of our society but could be made simpler for a small colony, especially if you are not worried about details or finishing quality and approach it from a more utilitarian perspective.

Your mission is to write software that's so good that people do not need to upgrade their hardware.

Email, word processing, the vast majority of commercial workloads, would work fine on machines with a tiny fraction of the typical PCs power today. But developers insist on using godawful “frameworks” to do the most trivial things. Like JS based text editors that take gigs of RAM to do less useful stuff than Emacs could do in megs.

The PC of the future is something like an RPi with an eInk display with a solar panel on the other side.
