This is so eye-opening. I've been frustrated with these things for a while and I always figured it was me. When asked to click on the traffic signs, I'm never sure whether to click on just panes that have a part of a sign or include cells that show the posts it is attached to. I finally got so discouraged, I tried the audio clues and have found that to be easier. I've found that, after listening closely, I only need to identify a single word and that is usually relatiely easy. All in all, however, I really do hate these things.
I personally don't believe that pornography is a major driver of violence against women, but I'd argue that we already do have a hair-on-fire problem in the US. A third of women have experienced physical violence from their partners, one in ten have been raped by their partner.

I don’t see people arguing for extreme measures, to the point of “ridiculousness”, to improve the state of walking around cities. So I don’t take this too seriously, it doesn’t seem to be done in good faith so much as, “I don’t like cars and there are some negative externalities, let’s use this as an excuse to really screw over anyone who thinks to use one.”

And of course, this is how a coastal elite most likely feels meanwhile they think traveling by airplane is okay or should even be celebrated.

It’s not in good faith.
Given that the conviction rate exceeds 99% it all seems like splitting hairs -- when you've been charged, you will be sentenced. It seems unlikely that they're just that good at deciding who to charge.

2015 MBP was great, but I also immensely enjoyed my 2013 MacBook Air. The Air's battery life, form factor and performance made it hands down the best laptop for its time.

I'm actually in the process of wiping it to give to a friend and feeling a bit of sadness. I use a 2017 MBP now - the screen is what finally got me - but you're right, todays hardware just doesn't compare to how it felt back then.

This is literally the point of congestion pricing.

If you really need to drive around in lower Manhattan once in a while (e.g. you are doing a big run to Home Depot), you pay the $5 fee. Unless you are truly destitute, it's not that bad to pay a couple times a year.

The price system isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn efficient at controlling quantity demanded.
The most observed behavior among the longest lived is radical independence. It isn't wild to suggest surviving a holocaust death camp would make a person more independently minded. Conversely, most people take this for granted while craving conveniences at every turn.

I learned to program JavaScript more confidently on my first Afghanistan deployment. Being able to work offline without references or tools was important when I was constantly on the move. Even to this day portability and performance are the things I value most in an application. Most other JavaScript developers I have encountered in the real world need a mountain of third party libraries and frameworks with a fixed internet connection for the simplest of things.
They already offer the option to not store raw data and just get a one time analysis. I believe the terms say they store it for 3 months, although I don’t remember exactly. That’s what I did with 23AndMe. I also falsified all the personal information I could except for approximate age, gender, and ethnicity since I figure that affects the readings. Doesn’t help me if my extended family decides to use the kits, but it seemed an acceptable middle ground to satisfy my curiosity of trying the service myself with my paranoia about how they would use my data.

I agree that power is everything. Absolutely everything. Most people forget this when they have a good job where they aren't treated badly.

At the same time, it is worthwhile to decouple the problem of power from other problems - so that we can think clearly about how we might go about controlling power. This opens the possibility for solutions which would involve funding the arts and sciences. If we don't think clearly about both problems, we'll never be able to solve either.

I looked at some of those brands to see what made them different from Lodge. One had a different handle, while another one had a thicker bottom and thinner sides for better searing, but they're also in the hundreds of dollars. A 12" Lodge skillet is $40, that's at least half the price of the 12" skillets for the other brands. For the price, I don't think that Lodge can be beat.
Legally? Probably not a lot. IANAL tho.

> try transporting kids or groceries using the subway

Err. I was transported plenty as a kid on the subway without using elevators, so were many other kids.

Groceries... generally you just walk. I live in a less dense city and it's never been a problem walking to the grocery store. Including for my parents when I was a kid.

I mean, getting rid of cars means more room for sidewalks mean they are defacto cleared of this stuff. The reason it's a problem right now is they are packed into the same 5 feet as the pedestrians.

I suspect you are right. I put what I consider the least compelling reasons at the bottom.

$10 really isn't that much money... as demonstrated by the number of people who pay it. Understand that when I say the right number might be "ridiculous" I do mean "ridiculous". I'm avoiding saying specific numbers because then I have to justify them, but think thousands, possibly large numbers of thousands.

It's about saving time and work. Cast iron takes a lot of work compared to even plain old stainless steel plans in prep and cleaning. They are very heavy to handle and can't use such foods as tomatoes because they are too acidic.

An informal survey as to why you would use a cast iron is "it make meat taste better" and it "heats more evenly".
Survivorship refers to people that engaged in an activity with a chance of "survival" (which could mean actual life or death situations, or things like interviews, school applications, etc.) and did survive have a biased view towards the probability of surviving that activity - usually overestimating the chances of "survival". A classic example is that you might not want to trust it when a professor in a competitive says success in the field is likely with hard work - sure, the professor may have worked hard and succeeded but he's biased towards his own experiences, and is likely not making an honest assessment of the chances of success. Survivorship bias is a form of selection bias: the "survivors" are essentially selecting their own experiences over that of the general population.

Whereas selection bias is when some external factor causes analysis to be focused on a specific subset of the broader population. For instance, survey responses reflect the selection bias of people who were willing to take that survey. Reviews on user-generated review sites are biased towards the people that felt strongly enough to leave a review. The example in this post is selection bias. This is not the opinions of views of individual survivors as in survivorship bias. Rather the study is inherently limited to selecting those that were healthy and fit enough to survive the Holocaust.

This is one of the major pains of building a platform: you also have the limit the damage that a "trusted" user can do, like if a moderator were to get hacked by username/password reuse.

I learned this the hard way on a forum I built and ended up painstakingly building a feature that lists all moderator actions and a "Reverse" button next to them. ...Among many other similar features.

It's funny to think back on the day I decided to build a forum: "How hard could it be?"

The point is not the number of cars or trash bags. It is the incentive to use a vehicle or generate a bag of trash. If a $20/day charge is out of reach for the poor, 100% of the poor will avoid parking and take public transit. If $20/day is meaningless to someone that makes $500k/year, then they will not factor that into their decision to drive versus take public transit. So for those that set prices, does it matter whether demand elasticity is equal across income levels or not?

They leave the problems for the very end, where they note that the supreme court has already said that classifying a cable modem as an information service is an allowed reading of the law.

My overall impression reading the definions is what salawat said, that something about the ordinary use of language isn't happening. But even with those definitions my question would be if broadband isn't a telecommunication service then what is the telecommunication service it is over?

Unfortunately, "the supreme court was just plain wrong last time" is not really allowed in legal decisions. It sounds like at least one of the judges wants to argue that since ISP email is no longer generally used things have changed.

You've got it!

My kid was uncertain and stressed by the pressure to make a decision; once he decided "I won't" his stress went away and his grades shot up. Instead of going to college at 18 he got a job. A year after graduating he knew what he wanted and got into a good school in a program he wanted.

What shocked me is how much disapproval he received from his classmates and the school (especially the "guidance" counselor). "Loser", "what's wrong with you?", "are you too stupid to get into college" (asked one of his fellow AP Calc classmates).

Apparently the approved path is to get into a school and ask to defer for a year. Deciding you're not ready seems to threaten everybody's assumptions.

What sort of surprised me is that when you had the first generation with widespread internet access, they didn't remain deeply in love with psuedonymity. We all had our psuedonyms-- AIM screen names, email addresses that weren't firstname.lastname@domain.com, forum usernames derived from fantasy-novel characters, and the like-- but seemed perfectly eager to trade it away for non-anonymous alternatives once MySpace/Facebook/etc. became the dominant paradigm.

The concept of "I can have multiple, context-dependent identities" seems like it solves a lot of community problems naturally.

You can choose whether or not to leverage an established name between different communities. You can seek a fresh start by spawning a new identity and returning to zero. The context-dependent identity can hide or exaggerate factors that might trigger bias (can you tell from a username alone if the person you're writing to is 13 or 30, or do you have to actually judge what they're saying?)

I think the most effective use of it that still sticks around is the Reddit/HN throwaway accounts-- you want enough identity to get notified of responses without any further attachment to the rest of your life.
The title seems misleading. The problem here isn't dotfiles. The problem is that developers are using $HOME instead of a standard directory for storing user-level config files. I had never even heard of $XDG_DATA_HOME before reading this article.
I know the video you speak off Putin claimed that those launchers can be used to house tomahawk missiles which isn’t true as the launcher for the SM3 missile isn’t designed for that.

The SM3 missile can be used to attack ground targets but the US doesn’t have any nuclear warheads that can be fitted on it.

That said considering that the Israeli Arrow 3 system has a range of 2400km and it’s partially integrated with the US missile shield in Europe it’s more than just a local problem from Russia’s point of view.

Can you pitch alternatives, though? For example, an attacker can still spoof IP addresses in 2019 and create volumetric attacks that you certainly cannot endure without someone's help upstream (i.e. centralization). No need to bother with spoofing though since you can rent a botnet for peanuts. Attackers have decentralized attacks but there is increasingly only centralized defense.

I wonder how Makefiles got such a bad reputation. After decades of reading how bad Makefiles are, I recently tried writing one for a moderately complex build, just for fun.

I'm not saying it's great, but there are a lot worse build systems around that people still actively advocate (cough msbuild).

> Prosperity Comes From Eliminating Jobs, Not Saving Them
> optional typing

The problem with that is that all the languages seem either to inherently be dynamic or static. Any attempt to add the other kind is hamstrung by the language's inherent tendencies, and it doesn't really work. Perl or python, for instance, have optional typing, but it's not checked at compile-time. And then there's things like c++ or d variant that--again, they don't quite feel quite as dynamic as they would in a dynamic language. I don't think these features can truly coexist well in the same language.

That's no hard ask. You just have to fight inertia, but there's really not much standing in the way of something like that.

You're missunderstanding me, I'm just stating the possible conclusion that makes this an interesting argument (that it's ridiculously high and no one would pay it except on rare occasion) before the logic (look at all these externalities).

> you should actually calculate the externalities

That sounds like inviting lots of nitpicking debate on the internet. I invite you to though. If you do so in good faith and come up with a number that is reasonably low, well congrats, you shouldn't find the argument convincing.

> you should do so for competing modes of transportation.

True - I haven't personally because I think it's intuitive that they are far lower, if you disagree feel free to include them in your version of the calculation.

> you are only calculating the costs of cars to others, not the benefits.

I struggle to think of any positive externalities for personal cars. Everything you list are benefits to the owner except tolls. Tolls naturally don't count because that's the mechanism by which we ask them to pay for their externalities, to count them as a positive would be double counting.

If you think there are some compelling ones, again, feel free to include them in your version of the calculation.

Pricing in externalities is not a "sin tax". A sin tax would be "being lazy (driving) is a sin so we're going to tax them for driving".
