But, would the sort of person who owns a 1959 Ferrari want an "average yacht" ? I don't think so.

Yacht is a purpose classification, there are little boats in my local habour that a couple of old people drive out into the open water every weekend in the summer, and then there's something like Britannia, the ex-Royal Yacht that is a permanent floating museum in Edingburgh. Both are yachts because they are (or in Britannia's case were) for the pleasure use of the owners rather than being military, transport or for any commercial purpose.

So it's not difficult _at all_ to spend $100M on a yacht, whereas it's pretty tricky to do that for a car.

Worse, unlike cars as yachts grow more expensive a staff becomes at first a good idea and then essential - even if you barely use it you may be spending $1M plus per year on staff.

Human moral development seems to be a cycle of an outburst of violence, followed by a dramatic retrenchment of violence in response. Each iteration brings greater violence and then an even greater retrenchment.

Eons ago we discovered through this cycle that rape and murder are wrong and should be met with cutting the offender off from society permanently. 75 years ago we discovered that systematic genocide and wars for land are wrong and should never be tolerated.

We are still recovering from that retrenchment, I think. As it fades further into the mists of history, the next violent phase of the cycle looms closer. It's uncertain whether we'll be around to discover any more moral lessons after it passes.

It's unlikely that quantum computing will define our future more than AI, since AI is already a part of everyday life and will continue to grow. Quantum computing, on the other hand, has no known practical applications as of yet. The "play with a quantum computer" links offered by the author will show just how useless a quantum computer is today.

Of course, I don't have any proof that quantum computing will never be real, but there's quite a bit of evidence to support taking a doubtful stance. Even D-Wave, the largest and most successful supplier of quantum computers, has to admit that what they make isn't really a quantum computer at all!

This seems easier in both Windows and OS X. On both, a native application gets its own directory, and will first look in there for any shared libraries it needs. It gives you a nice middle ground between static linking everything and dynamic linking everything that still avoids the "we have to choose between pervasive system-wide dependency hell and Dockerizing everything" situation that seems to exist on Linux.

That default, sadly, would basically guarantee the thing doesn't work for all too many users. And as a consumer electronics product (especially in the sub-$50 price-range), the market-smart thing to do is configure the defaults to work in the saddle-point of worst-case and common scenario (i.e. badly-configured local router talking to a standards-hostile ISP's DHCP configurations).

Ask HN: What tech paradox is analogous to 'dark night sky' paradox in physics?
Oblers' paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olbers%27_paradox notes that a (relatively) dark night sky seems inconsistent with the idea of an infinite and eternal universe, where one would expect that the sky would appear uniformly bright. This led to people questioning whether the universe really is infinite or eternal.

There are other similar paradoxes in other domains, and in each of them, the puzzling thing is that we expect a certain thing to be more prevalent than it actually is.

Can you think of an analog in the tech or startup world?
If you answer anything other than climate change, you haven't though enough about the issue.
That's not correct. Denmark is currently is currently at something like 45% of electricity from wind, and going past 50% in a year or two IIRC. It's not base load, because you don't need base load - it's an obsolete model from a world of capital-intensive, constant output plants. What you need is to match the demand.

Regarding long-term storage: Exactly. Tanks or caverns filled with methane generated from a renewable source is one possible solution. Of course, you need to have a firm grip on leaks.
The 500 Year experiment
Indeed. Many microreactors of the past like the PM3A in Antarctica were just too expensive to operate and maintain so they got replaced with oil. SMRs are great for lower capital cost but they won't just automatically be cheap to operate. The nuclear industry has to focus heavily on getting maintenance and operation costs way down. Some of that is regulatory, but lots of it is inherent.
You could say the exact same thing for eg. mass.
Exactly. Either show your code or the story that AI can generate fake news is, itself, fake news.

In plan9 they are exactly the same, not theoretically. Isolation happens on a file system level (everything is a file, but truly, not a "special device file").

While it's practically not possible to compare performance, just the fact that this is a part of the initial design and a core of Plan9 vs adhoc feature (actually ported from Plan to Linux) is enough to speculate on performance.

Probably better to work on one of your own ideas. Write down every idea you have, write out pros and cons for each, can you combine them? Then figure out simple business plans for each, keep it simple, find you competitors and learn from them, find your customers and learn from them, what resources you need to build a mvp, how are you going to market that, how do you plan to grow the business from the mvp.

From all this research hopefully you will get a better feeling for which of your ideas are worth following up, and their potential.

>But this sentence makes it all nonsense - as there's no proof for time existing.

First, if we're realists/utilitarian/pragmatists we don't need some fancy proof for time existing. We can see that the material world changes and we call that time. We even measure that passage with clocks. We even know (and have proven experimentally) that things going faster slow down clocks on them. So, whether time "really exists" or not is a meaningless question when we're concerned with time as we experience and know it.

It's like someone shooting a bullet at you, and you are asking "yes, but does this bullet _really_ exist?". Well, it might not (e.g. we might all live in a simulation, or the nature of physical objects might be just some probability distribution of information, and not "exist" in the plain sense we understand it), but in this life as we know it, a bullet hitting you will still have the consequences we know and expect.

Second, time exists in Relativity equations, so there's that.

>Time is a useful abstraction for calculating physical models, making forecasts. As we have other useful abstractions in math or programming - it doesn't make them existing in real world.

Doesn't matter. It's enough that we can measure it, we don't care for the "thing in itself" or if it's merely some illusion. We live in a universe where whether it's an illusion or not, it has the same effects for us (e.g. we grow old, things change state, our clock dials rotate).

> A lambda has no access to any outer environment

The issue is that the processing of your outer lambda is not traversing its interior to connect with the y reference; it is blocked by the inner lambda.

> lambdas are nothing but local text substitutions

An outer lambda can substitute inside the inner lambda, even if it's all textual.

"{{lambda {y} {lambda {x} {x y}}} arg}"

--> substitute y = "arg" everywhere y is not shadowed.

"{lambda {x} {x arg}}"

There you go: lexical closure: the "arg" text is captured inside the character string "{lambda {x} {x arg}}".

This simple thing not working is just a bug in your implementation (that you simply documented away as a requirement instead of fixing it).
I think this comes down to my last sentence -- delegating the decision to kill to a robot is not really different from deciding to kill. But we may do it anyway, and wash our hands. I suppose this is the source of the unease about autonomous drones. Not that they're worse than other killing machines, but that we might deceive ourselves into thinking that they're better.

Maybe a better analogy than a cruise missile would be a land mine. A device that kills, possibly much later than when it's deployed, and often an unintended target.

> You don't give a source, so it's unclear whether that figure accounts for Prop 13 effects

Since Prop 13 both sets the maximum rate of property tax and sets the procedural requirements for increasing any tax in California, everything about property tax in California is “Prop 13 effects.”

I suspect what you mean is “effects of the Prop 13 limits on annual assessment increases”.

> The average of existing tax bills (with embedded Prop 13 reductions) is meaningless for comparing to new-property taxes in another state.

The point wasn't comparing new-property taxes, it was addressing “how other states manage to do the same work the California Government does (having schools, roads and police) with much lower rates of income and sales tax and a much less smaller [sic] tax base.”

One of the ways they do it is by having higher property taxes. Often at effective tax rates higher than the prop 13 limit on nominal rates, even before the effect of assessment limits. (And, in the broader context of the thread, consideration of moving out of California, if the alternative is staying in place in California, property taxes with the Prop 13 assessment limit are absolutely the right comparison with new-home taxes in other states.)

That's the issue though---there was already an arms race (between users and ISPs), and it was making it hard to create reliable consumer electronics devices because DNS logic is complicated and the complexity adds cost (and more importantly, pushes configuration burden from the device onto the user).

It sucks that customization was damaged in the arms race, but that's the nature of measure-countermeasure in web technologies across the board. Every web technology is a three-edged sword: the spec, the intention behind the spec, and the real-world implementation of the spec.

DNS / DHCP implementation drifted from intention years ago.
I went from Ruby, to Node, to Elixir, and my annoyances with the package/project managers have decreased with every step. I'm honestly surprised that Python's 'approach' is so much worse than any of them. Are there any particular reason why there hasn't been a good package/project manager that became dominant in the Python ecosystem?

To elaborate on my current situation. With Elixir, I run mix new <project-name> and I get 1) a project structure, including test helpers, config stubs, formatter config, gitignore, and a mix.ex file where I can add dependencies. With some flags, I can get a supervised setup (for long-running stuff, basically), or an umbrella app that allows me to put multiple projects under one 'umbrella project'.

Aside from potential issues where the apps in an umbrella rely on different version of the same package, dependency is local to the project and doesn't conflict with another. I also get formatting and test 'tasks', with DocTest support.
