I view our success as a product of evolution. It is the driving factor that got us down out of the trees, cultivating our food and to where we are today.

Would we be putting a little less pressure on the environment without people like Edward Bernays, possibly. However, I think our collective consciousness can put itself a little at ease. As we enter the 6 mass extinction event, it's a natural cycle and if it wasn't us, some other species would dominate the planet.

That's the same dilemma some one making a new car like Tesla has to face.

So you first make something the rich people want. Like luxury residences in spaces, Elysium like. Like really really affluent neighborhoods for ultra rich. Tourism is another part. Make people go to space, stay for a few earth-days, have them see some spectacular astronomical phenomenon. Sky size theaters, Toy space shuttles like we have dashing cars, Disney land like attractions etc etc.

The other part of course is permanent science labs, where you do high quality research and development. Something like the Large Hadron Collider takes a lot of real estate and resources on earth to build. Eventually that kind of work can be done in space. That will make a lot of smart people want to work in space.

Of course since resources are plenty in space, and energy is just pointing you array of panels at sun. I'm guessing due to the economics of it, a lot of other people might want to stay and work there. Like electricity strapped countries, might want to manufacture in space.

The use cases are endless that way.

Eventually you extend it to everybody else.

XUL is a DSL, rust is not.

And to be fair, so many bad DSL has been done in the past, espacially behind corporate walls, that I understand the avortion for them. And anyone who had to work on a Lisp or Ruby code created by a DSL inspired hacker know the pain.

DSL have many problems, but the most obvious one is that you get a language without the testing, documentation, tooling and community of a battle tested general one. And because by nature it targets a niche, the miracle needed for it to get real traction requires even bigger divine interventions.

Even if nix was amazing (I couldn't tell, I haven't tried it), and the resulting product, not only fantastic, but worth people switching to it (which is not the same and harder to achieve, or even to recognize with honesty), the scale it would need to become practical may not even fit in the niche it targets.

Yes, the AS/400 9401 "Advanced Portable" is the size of a regular desktop PC. Some pictures are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/31231773@N02/albums/7215762371...

I have one. Even at the time it was considered a toy, too small to do anything serious. Another 9401 model called "Advanced Entry" was significantly more capable, and was the smallest anyone would actually buy. Documentation (last updated in 2013, about 20 years after the machine was current): http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/printableversion.wss?docURL...

The portable was more of a sales and training tool, with a base 8 MB of RAM (maximum 16 MB in 1994, 56 MB in 1995) and billed as a single-user machine: https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?appname=s...

IBM also claimed the portable could be used for "low cost kiosks." The starting price adjusted for inflation to 2019 was over $12k.

The article is quite clear about that differentiation:

"the judge wrote that fingerprints and face scans were not the same as “physical evidence” when considered in a context where those body features would be used to unlock a phone."

(Emphasis mine.)

It's the context of using those body features to unlock a phone, that makes them testimonial rather than physical evidence. Outside that context, they can still be physical evidence.

But does that mean the police can't use physical evidence to unlock your phone? I don't know if it's possible to get a fingerprint from a glass and use that to unlock a phone, but if it was, would that still be legal? What about if someone wrote their password on a note?

Socialism does not argue for taking your personal property, only property that is used for making profit which will then be taken by the working class to earn their full labor value instead of having a boss steal the surplus value.

By nature HFT is not highly multithreaded and avoids handoff.
So having more cores is not that different than having more discrete CPUs -- no benefits for cache locality/faster coherency.

In that regard if latency is an issue overclocked 8700K (or 8086K) should be sufficient.

>>You can even shape it dynamically on the fly, so the beam will go down, or to the right, away from the eyes of motorists.”

So, cyclists and pedestrians just have to deal with it, as always. Just like current "automatic" high-beam, which does an "ok" job at detecting other cars but fails completely at detecting other non-vehicular road users.
Mate, I think you might have some logic issues... I doubt the police told your friends to sod off. And what exactly did you expect them to do? Get 10 patrols, 1 heli in the air, organize a man hunt to find a bloody phone? Try reporting a crime that involves bodily harm or weapons, see how fast they react. It's a matter of priorities. There was an armed robbery at the off licence where I buy smokes from, the police was there in about 15 minutes after it happened, they chatted with everyone around (there is a pub right next door), they checked the cameras and it seems, as per the owner, they found the perpetrator. As a funny note, the dude managed to steal about 20 quid, all the store had in notes at the time. So chill, have a kitkat, stuff is getting better.
The chunk based solutions are rather high latency though, at least in typical implementations streaming sites relying on them are often 10-30 seconds behind live data.

IceCast is much faster than that at least - and not so problematic - typically the stream starts a bit before live data so you have a second or two in which you can reconnect and match up the current ending of the data.

EDIT: Both of these are abuses of HTTP though while they probably should be using a dedicated UDP-based streaming protocol which wouldn't suffer from any of these issues. WebRTC goes in the right direction by using RTP for this.
A blog I wrote about 5 years ago on obtaining your licensing as a professional engineer includes affiliate links to a site that sells packages that help with the application process.

That amount was about double 2017, so I'm interested to see how much growth is left.

But these are all great efficiencies. It’s a total waste of money to optimise gp locations for people that are well enough to go to work and can afford a private gp if they want it.

If you’re really sick you’ll be seen very quickly, and you’ll be extremely glad the doctors aren’t busy pandering to people with minor conditions.
That sounds to me like (1) not a clear example of a Gettier case and (2) something that would, in fact, be rare.

#1 because one of the reasons for your believing X has cancer is that "he has the symptoms", which (if I'm understanding your example correctly) is in fact a consequence of the cancer he actually has; so, at least to some extent, your belief is causally connected to the true thing you believe in just the way it's not meant to be in a Gettier case.

#2 because (so far as I know) it's not at all common to have both (a) cancer in an organ that doesn't show up in your X-ray (or MRI or whatever) and (b) a cyst in the same organ that looks just like cancer in the X-ray/MRI/whatever. I'm not a doctor, but my guess is that this is very unusual indeed.

So this isn't a very convincing example of how clear-cut Gettier cases aren't rare: it's neither a clear-cut Gettier case nor something that happens at all often.

Bees aren't the only pollinators by a long shot, they're just the most commercialized/domesticated one. Take corn/maize, you have to rely on a pollinator speices or manual pollination if you grow small amounts in your garden but if you grow acres and acres of it wind alone will sufficiently pollinate it.

The plants still produce the pollen though. Pine trees for example produce copious amounts of pollen but it offers a relatively poor protein source so most pollinating insects don't make use of it.

Bees consume pollen as one of their food sources though, they just happen to pollinate plants due to accidental transfer while collecting pollen for their own use. You can then harvest some of the wax and honey as a commercial product and it's much easier to load up box after box of honey bees on a truck to transport to the next field than it is moths, butterflies, beetles, mosquitoes etc. Modern farming outright relies on domesticated bees, domesticated bees aren't remotely 'natural' though and nature has plenty of other means of spreading pollen sufficiently for reproduction.

A recent figure puts just domesticated honey bees at 80-100 million colonies worldwide. An average-size colony may bring in 100 pounds of pollen in a season so 8-10 billion pounds of pollen annually.

If you saw just a 10% die off of those domesticated colonies, you're talking about an insane amount of pollen. 2000 maize pollen grains weigh one milligram, so 907 million grains per pound for maize.

So the NAB scale, depending on the type of pollen, 5-89 grains per cubic meter of air is moderate and 20-1499 grains per cubic meter is a high pollen count.

Yeah, there's a LOT of air but you can see how even a small reduction in colonies could drastically increase average pollen counts. Add in global warming which can extend the growing season and open up new regions and you also see an amplification of pollen during a given period.
You're right. I honestly haven't seen maillist until after I began working on Esgy. Maillist seems like a good solution too.
This reminds me of a recent event at WrestleKingdom 13, a Japanese professional wrestling event where, as you might imagine, pretty much everything is planned and choreographed ahead of time.

In the opening match, Kota Ibushi suffered a concussion. Some doctors came out, carried him out on a stretcher, and took him to the back. As it turns out, this was all planned. The doctors were fake, and this course of events was determined ahead of time. But coincidentally, Ibushi _actually_ suffered a real-life concussion in the match.

Wrestling always has an interesting relationship with reality.
Another really great work that's related to some of these concepts is "Naming and Necessity" by the philosopher Saul Kripke.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_and_Necessity

It investigates how we assign names to things and what those names mean and how we can reason about them.
Your model of thinking is something like idealized bayesian one, not like human. If your mind decided that something is true with sufficient probability, it then fails to see alternative explanations. This "something" will be a reality to you, not just a belief about reality. But it is not the all. Your mind have some ideas associated with cow you've seen, and those ideas also becomes beliefs of yours. Implicit beliefs, you are probably not aware of them, you could notice this implicit beliefs only if they will begin to contradict evidence in a sharp way. For example, you can implicitly decide that this is a soft tempered cow, that would like to lick you in a face, if you come near. It was not important when you saw the model of a cow, so you didn't become consiously aware of your idea of a cow temper. But it was planted in you idea of reality. Maybe you would have an intention to come near the cow to be licked in the face, and you might be unaware of this intention. Human mind can easily manage such tricks.

And it leads to a funny thing. You saw the model of a cow, and it make you believe that there is a cow in the field and that you saw a cow. Then you could find a heap of poo, and you will strengten your beliefs futher. You might find a lot of evidence and it all will be explained under assumption that you saw a cow. And this evidence will strenghten your belief that you will be licked in the face, when you come near the cow.

But you didn't saw the cow that made this heap of poo. The real cow is pitch black, with a horns of gigantic size and they are really sharp. The real cow has red glowing eyes and it is going to kill you. But before you see the real cow itself, all the evidence that would point that there is a cow would also reinforce the idea of soft tempered black and white cow. The longer you manage to keep youself oblivious to real cow traits, the more surprised you will become when you find the real cow.

Local food is not necessarily more environmentally friendly. According to a paper on food transportation and reducing its carbon footprint, about 11% of typical US food consumption's carbon footprint comes from transportation [1]. If the food you're eating from the area you're in is not suited well for growing that kind of food, it's quite possible the local farmers are making more of a carbon impact versus growing it in a more suited area and shipping it.

I had the same impression in Asia, where subway exists are numbered and it makes a lot of sense to get out at the right exit but Google Maps does not really take the exits into account although they are on the map.

It also does not display the non-Latin names of stops, which would've been useful sometimes, especially when asking people for directions. People in Asia aren't often terribly familiar with the names of the stations in English.
