It's far more complicated than that.

Most of those who suffer from those tax do NOT have any alternative to their heavily-polluting cars. Rich people can pay such tax or go full EV but you cannot compel the poor to pay such taxes that will make them just poorer.

When you already have trouble feeding yourself and your family, you go crazy and you vote Macron out. Believe me, if Macron keeps lowering the taxes on the extra rich and insists on making the poor pay high taxes for indispensable fuels, we'll get the far right pretty quickly and a far, far worst government in power that will happily destroy any environmental regulation. We've probably passed that point already but there isn't many other options but to force Macron to stop his crazy politics (he lowered the tax on capital gains to a point where I pay far less tax on my stock gains than on my actual work, it's really absurd).

Yeah, I've talked with some people who believe we're close to general artificial intelligence and that we're fairly confident that we know what intelligence means but I'm not so sure we understand it.

When we finally understand how we think, then we'll be able to re-implement it in software. But I don't think we're anywhere near understanding how we think.

I agree there should be some opportunity for them to participate somehow. Any ideas of what that would look like?

ALF-CIO and other unions aren't setup to be tech companies themselves, and I don't think they have the internal talent to build and operate a popular web app well on their own. It would have to be some other way for them to interact with a tech company in a mutually beneficial manner.
Yeah that’s fair, thanks for clarifying.
Promises could be shimmed in browser JS (Jquery was my first experience with it) where async/await needed something like a babel/webpack transpiler for the syntax to really be feasible in a browser.

>Shit, look at Paris. [...] the government raises taxes on fuel to help pay for some the policies, the people riot and destroy things and the government backs down.

The fuel tax was only the trigger of a much larger discontent of the population, more so: only 19% of that tax increase will actually be used for the energetic transition (I could post sources on that but they're in French, ask away if you want to have a look). It sounds like you're assuming that the French population is an hegemonic group of people, but even among the yellow vests you'll find people fighting for various, and often contradictory goals.

Now I don't disagree with the general feeling of your message. The main issue to me, which is mostly empirical, being that the very people who are mostly responsible for climate change will be the very last to actually suffer from it.

Diet wise, I would suggest L-Theanine. It is a non essential amino acid found in some forms of Tea. Humans can safely ingest a large amount of it. For me, at about 300mg, I am very relaxed. Combined with Caffeine, it has a mild and similar effect as ADHD drugs.

This is because college majors people do can be broken down into half as being generally viewed as practical or career focused such as STEM, business, education, agriculture, communications, ect. Where as the other half tend to be more enriching fields, Psychology, Visual and Performing arts, Humanities and other social sciences. (https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d17/tables/dt17_322.10.a...)

The other point I think worth adding isn't that many of these humanities and arts fields are unemployable, but largely that they are some of the most popular majors and in turn their economic value is diminished as such. If there were twice or three times as many graduates per year in Computer Science, I'd expect the perceived economic value of a CS degree to decline as well.
I mostly agree with your analysis, but I think your examples don't actually fit. Please show me all the people abandoning google and amazon.

The immune system can be temporarily suppressed, using e.g. corticosteroids, or, relevantly, chemotherapy drugs like cisplatin. It should be obvious that suppressing the immune system creates far fewer risks than modifying the virus. I am not a doctor, but I feel certain of that: the worst-case is "patient dies" vs. "zombie apocalypse".
I do think it's absurd to expect them to moderate their behavior without regulation. If it made their products more expensive to do so (which it would), they'll just lose market share to some other less scrupulous corporation selling the same thing for cheaper.

A corporation's literal only job is to seek profits above all else. In the US, that's a legal requirement (Edit: I was very wrong about this). That doesn't make a corporation some subversive evil entity, more like an algorithm that finds solutions optimized for one variable. They do what they do because it's what makes them the most money. And remember, they have to operate this way (Edit: I was wrong about legal requirements on this).

So we can change the problem space by making it more expensive to behave in certain ways. Aka, regulation/emissions taxes.
So I haven't looked at this in a while but the usual way it's happened on linux drivers for nvidia cards is that they stop updates for X11, the linux kernel, and other parts of the system, even if they maintain the driver itself keeping it otherwise up to date feature and bug wise. This means that you'll be stuck at older kernel versions and older linux distro versions without a way to move forward on the proprietary driver.
But it's correct to say that the firmware used under Linux is the same one that is used as well under Windows (maybe as well MacOS)... or not?

(I personally understand that the "firmware" does the low-level stuff, and the drivers of the OS provide the abstraction through their functions, but I might be terribly wrong)

I don't think you can charge jobseekers to use the site (they are looking for a job, after all). It has to be free to use by the end user.

I didn't actually work on the systems that score reviews and filter out certain ("not recommended") reviews, so I'm not sure what signals went into them. I would guess recency, photos, account age/reputation, etc.

I had some other reasons for believing it was impossible for sales reps to manipulate review scores, but my memory is very foggy since this was ~9 years ago. Sorry if I made it sound like I had more insider knowledge; I edited that out of my comment.
In this particular example, ‘unnecessary use of cat’ is accompanied by ‘unnecessary use of grep’.

This is a lovely well-researched article on the origin of a number of otherwise bizarre I/O constants.

E.g. the following: "...why not use 130 instead of 132? Due to the complex alignment between the 1403's chain and the print hammers, a line width divisible by 3 (such as 132) works out better."
There have been intense debates already for this decision. The fundamental reason is because Javascript has a messy "this.fieldname" requirement to access public fields so the only way to use a private field requires a symbol to denote that its private and not overlapping.

I would've preferred the "this.private.fieldname" instead but # is what ended up winning.
> You need 256 bits of entropy and permanent, reliable power; or permanently writable and reliable media.

I did mention that already: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18955720 "If the device ever powers down, you will need 32 bytes worth of persistent storage, so you don't repeat the random stream every time you boot up."

> You haven't addressed the bit where you're presenting a solution in search of a problem.

Here's the problem: if the attacker controls one or several of the random sources, they may partially control the output of the RNG. In some cases, a simple bias can lead to catastrophic key recovery attacks (ECDSA comes to mind). In other cases, the attacker could simply use the RNG as a communication channel. It only takes 4 tries to control 2 bits of a hash. This is also described in the link you should really really follow.

> I'm quite familiar with random devices (i.e., Fortuna) and stream ciphers, thank you.

Good. Then you know that a stream cipher such as Chacha20 is a suitable high security RNG for long term keys (otherwise it wouldn't be suitable even as a stream cipher). The only problem is forward secrecy (the key used by the stream cipher is necessarily stored somewhere, and if it gets stolen, all past keys, including ephemerals!, are toast). That's what fast key erasure is for: have a 512 byte buffer or so, whose first 32 bytes are filled with your current seed. Stream 512 bytes from that seed and overwrite the entire buffer with it. The first 32 bytes will seed the next batch of random bytes. The rest can be distributed to the API user. (Also don't let users access the RNG state, they're obviously going to duplicate it.)

---

By the way, DJB points out that our go-to persistent storage, hard drives and SSD, aren't exactly easy to erase. Which is quite crucial for the forward secrecy fast key erasure achieves. My opinion is that every computer should come up with a dedicated persistent writeable (and over-writeable) memory. The tiniest chip should be able to afford 32 bytes of such memory.
This is an important argument to consider, but I think it is not so obvious that this is true.

A hidden assumption in your calculation is that poor people emit the same amount of CO2 as rich people. Poor people may not have a car, and may not take a plane to go on vacation. They are also likely to live in a smaller apartment, reducing the heating/AC costs. This is probably more true if you view this on a global level.

Even if CO2 taxes are regressive, you could think of a way to compensate for this by altering tax rates/brackets
Google Phishing Quiz
Seems like a good start.

One concern is that I don't generally buy products starting with Q&A from people I follow. My process is more like: research products that solve problem X, then look at trusted reviews for X. It just seems like the intersection of reviews from people I follow and products that I want to buy would be extremely sparse (i.e., most of the time there wouldn't be a matching review).
And the solution already exists within the product: wireless charging.
After you bought your first Dyson product, and realized all this, why did you buy 4 others? It appears like their branding and marketing worked as designed, if you bought 4 more of their products, despite the pricing.

Deep Learning as Engineering
In the 40's and 50's our marginal tax rate was higher then 70%. In fact it exceeded 90% for a period of time.

However this is the marginal tax rate which means you don't pay that except for earnings over a certain dollar amount.

Also with all the loopholes in our tax law the effective tax rate was closer to 40% anyways.
If you want human like recognition (eg rotation and orientation invarience) of objects it seems like you would want to at least train them on image sequence data with multiple views of the same object (like video).

It's not like humans learn image matching based on a sequence of disjointed 2D images. We train on binocular moving images of changing distance and orientation.

Maybe the training sets are not well chosen for this sort if issue. Certainly expanding the set with rotations translations and scalings isn't difficult, but different orientation views would require a bit more effort.

Yes, but this is irrelevant.

France just threw away a political year on a gas tax they had to roll back. The political fallout, in the form of the yellow vest conservative movement, may well delay further progressive climate reform by another election cycle at least. The fact that a gas tax makes logical sense does not matter, what matters is if it has real world efficacy.

If the climate reform you are passing is causing backlashes that nullify it, we just wasted precious time for no reason. It does not matter how much you think the voting public should just get over themselves.

As an example: There is broad public support for substantially increased rates in top marginal taxation and in capital gains. Raise the money there and use it to subsidize low-carbon or negative-carbon alternatives.

This also highlights that what works is contextual. To my knowledge there is very little opposition to the ongoing rollout of cap-n-trade in the EU. And of course, if you can pass carbon taxation schemes, they are fantastic since they simply pull the external costs into the price and let the market sort it out.
Depends on what we are comparing.

Gitlab Cloud v Github Cloud. Github cloud is easier to grok, and get started versus gitlab, adoption on github is very visible, and immediate from first landing.

Gitlab On Premise v Github Enterprise. Gitlab wins in offering (open source, and complete ci/cd). However, I would argue that the marketing is much stronger with Github. Github has a streamlined message which you can consume easily and then once you're in you get deeper into the meaning of.

This is what I am referring to. Model or not, it's something that is a barrier to entry.
