"Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human" is a great book and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in human evolution or general diet. This article however, is sophomoric.

Anyone interested in the origins of human society and violence should also read "The World Until Yesterday" by Jared Diamond, "The Origin of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind", "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl, "Tribe" by Sebastian by Junger and "
Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland".

One problem with TFA, male Bonobos exist and do not act like male Chimps. Why? Furthermore, human females are not that different from human males. How might this change the pretext of the article? Human males and females are more alike than different, except on the fringes where a tiny percentage of males are much more violent (think of the most violent criminals). Do male humans tolerate the most violent males? Also, do "alpha" males chimps, stay alpha for very long if they wield too much violence? Must alpha male chimps maintain the support of the females? Do some research. See for yourself.

Also, what is the meaning of alpha in this article? The "arch-reactive aggressor"? In humans? So are alphas the most violent or the most respected? Could the alpha not be the most violent but instead have the respect of the most violent? How might that happen? Executioners? Try again.

To add personal anecdote: Most of us live in such relatively peaceful environments that we've completely lost touch with how the power dynamics of physical violence work in humans. We have mostly a school-yard version of reality. A society where "words" are violence further obscures the mechanics of physical violence.

Truly dealing in violence, absent of any law or government, is like eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Once you taste it your eyes are opened to a whole world right within ours which no one understands. We in the west live in a total bubble, so much so that we don't understand simple danger. The typical "active shooter" drill is basic evidence of this fact. It's a ridiculous and dangerous model in the face of true unencumbered violence. It is designed to keep schools from getting sued, not keeping children alive. You didn't know that because you've never had to kick in a door and kill as many people as possible (sickening I know).

Furthermore, once you understand violence truly, living in modern western society is like being an extraterrestrial in human skin. It is completely bizarre. This article is candy for those in the bubble.
Lots of things being done in the political arena are things you could previously say "simply aren't done." All while things that simply need to be done are totally ignored.

That's why quite a few languages don't have block comments. But then it gets very tedious to comment out a section of code without a language aware editor. For me, having comments and strings highlighted is essential.
>Helping anyone nuclearize is taboo

Only because most of the nations that haven't got them but are seeking them are poor nations that don't have a lot of close friends among the nuclear nations. It's kind of a "got mine, screw you" deal. Iran and the like have just as much right to develop and hold nuclear weapons as everyone else.

The thought of "regional troublemaker" having nuclear weapons countries bothers nations like the US, Russia, France, (etc) for the same reason some people at the top of the social hierarchy doesn't want poor people to have easy access to firearms. Those already at the top generally don't like seeing the playing field leveled and it's true all the way from the individual level to the national level.

In a democratic society if the party you want to push around is well enough armed to hurt you back that limits your ability to push them around to cases where you are actually consider to be "in the right" by the court of public opinion otherwise the people will promptly decide that it's not worth it.
Are there any sites with a "crowdsourced" directory? Might be interesting to have something like wiki-pedia that is a curated source, but curated by a larger group of volunteers. Although, I could see it getting corrupted by marketing purposes, but at the same time it might be able to be maintained cheaply by a foundation. Human intelligence providing grouped sites might be a useful asset, and there could be statistics/requirements for getting listed.

I know what you mean, I have kids and don't have a lot of time to learn about the things I want to. The thing is, people like that aren't who I'm talking about.

I'm talking about people who will make no effort to learn about a topic, and then feel that their opinion on said topic is of the same weight as everyone else's (including experts). These people will then act/vote based on this opinion and act offended when it's questioned. This mentality is creeping into everything.

I don't want to politicize this but lets use climate change as an example. Forget about whether or not climate change is real or not. Just leave the possibility that it could be, and could be a potential threat to the existence of humanity.

Now, don't get caught up on who is right or wrong, just think about the overall quality of the debate that's currently occurring. It's not climate change that scares me so much as the quality of the debate.

Eventually we will be faced with a very large problem and we don't seem to be in any shape to work together to fix it.
I dunno. The city if thought of as a business is right to offer incentives to get big employers as such employers as big and profitable as Amazon are likely to bring in even more skilled labor and high wage paying jobs. Yes this would lead to gentrification. But that is the job of the elected officials to set aside some of the projected windfalls in tax revenues for specialized housing for displaced people and for infrastructure and the like to accommodate Amazon. The problem is officials would rather line their own pockets with union money or campaign against or for whatever topic is all the rage than actually work.
If you have a machine joined into a domain (Active Directory, FreeIPA, others), it already has a custom CA certificate installed into its store. So this domain CA will just sign the certificate for the local DNS server, like it does for other local TLS services. If you don't, just make up a local CA and install the cert on your machines or devices.

No need to drag letsencrypt and co into the game, that's only for publicly facing machines.
I played hockey with a rich guy who had a collection of about 30 super cars. The dealer he worked with knew the cars he was looking for. If the dealer saw something come up, he'd contact him and say "Hey I think I can get X car for $Y. Want me to pull the trigger?". The other way was when the local Ferrari dealership was getting a new, hard to get model, they'd contact him since he was a preferred buyer and he'd get first right of refusal basically. That's how he got his LaFerrari. You can't just walk off the street and buy some cars.
There used to be dmoz.org, r.i.p. It doesn't seem to be working anymore, but it used to at least have an archive.
I don't think there are $50 million cars even one of the GT40's and Ferraris that raced at Lemmans a lot less than that.

It's generally considered inelegant but not nonsensical. There exist hidden-variable theories that reproduce all the normal predictions of quantum mechanics (including quantum computations), but they require non-local interactions. I think a restricted set of CTCs could mediate those interactions.

I think I switched from Hotbot to Google around 2000, maybe 2001. I told everybody I knew about the fantastic new search engine. Their plucky upstart vibe made them seem like they were carrying forward the spirit of the internet back then, before they ate the internet.
A little ironic in the other direction too, I think. New Yorkers saw the deal as corrupt favouritism and wanted to stop it from happening. Now New York has even more of a reputation for corruption by making it clear they won't uphold the terms of deals they make. Really, Amazon are lucky the subsidies disappeared before they made significant capital investments, otherwise it would practically have been extortion.
As I grow older I found myself questioning more and more the absolute position against any form of physical violence in modern society. Before you get angry I really do mean questioning as in I don't know, not that I have a pro stance on violence.

There are obvious and known problems with violence. But do we know that there are no problems with the complete lack of violence as a way to impose rule/discipline or to settle disputes? And what if (as with many other things) the mode in which you apply violence is more important that the presence of lack of it? And what I mean by that, when I was a child it was normal for parents to slap children - a type of violence that does not harm but was quite effective in settling some situations.

Maybe I could explain this better but I want to keep it short. And in general it seems to me society is changing so fast that I ask myself if in some cases we go against known negatives without really knowing the alternative negatives. Even asking questions about some of those issues it not really socially acceptable any more.
That's a lovely thought, but I don't think it's based in reality. Change, by it's nature, is disruptive, painful, sometimes unbearable. Human nature is to avoid pain. In all of human history, I'm not aware that the human race has ever collectively, proactively changed it's behavour in the way you describe, and I see no evidence that we'll suddenly start now. Ultimately the changes will happen, but they will happen in the same way they have always happened: mother nature will compel us to change by making us suffer.

I only have friends on my account, but I did follow what was clearly a "corporate" or entrepreneurial account once, and I simply can't imagine why anyone does it. It's not even virtue signalling, because no one else sees my feed, so the only benefit is that I gave this specific advertiser the unhampered use of my eyeballs. They may not be selling a specific company, but they're definitely advertisers. No thanks.

I could never see why people thought IG or Twitter were so bad until that day, and I'm almost certain it's because they've followed a few corporate accounts and now all their friends are drowned out in the noise.

> Yet every example we know of where trade has had the fewest obstacles (Britain during Victorian reign, Hong Kong under UK rule, Japan during the Meiji, Singapore post independence, Taiwan since split with China), we see a rapid improvement of the quality of life in just a couple of generations.

If there was a causal connection, you'd expect the US to have a much better quality of life than, say, Sweden. I leave it to you to judge that.

And don't mistake me for somebody who's arguing for socialism. I'm just not a fan of "let them starve, as long as I got mine" libertarianism, and apparently a lot of people aren't either. I'd wager that most libertarians wouldn't be either, if they weren't among those that do well in the current system, but that's beside the point.

> There are countless examples from as far back as the 1800s of wealthy people putting their money towards public good, and doing a far better job of it than modern governments do now.

Totally. And it seems to me that there are fewer and fewer today doing it in a similar fashion. I'm not a fan of government, but I'm certain that without it, Uber would use whips to motivate its delivery staff, and those on the receiving end of that motivation would have no way to quit working for Uber.
Yes exactly. It sounds like a long time unless you're waiting around for your classical computer to brute-force solve a problem for which quantum computers have an exponential advantage.

Writing down what you intend to do and verifying with your team it is sensible is not "the waterfall model". This "I just want to code" attitude is a major disease of young programmers and a leading cause of shitty software. Think ahead. Write it down. You are not a lonesome dove.
Publishing total income is way different than publishing all your financial information.

There is information in people's finances that should be 100% private. What if an employer looks at the financials of someone applying for a job and sees they claimed $100k in medical expenses last year because they had cancer? Companies will do that if they have the ability, and people will lose jobs because of it.

It doesn't matter if you make it illegal. I worked a recruiting agency for a while, and illegal hiring practices are incredibly common.

Pretty interesting. I wonder what prompted Munich to switch back and forth between softwares. Also, don't governments have some sort of internal IT infrastructure that helps them run more efficiently and oversees these costs? I also assume there are some factors at play here (like people being used to certain software) that make transitions very difficult

Primitive recursion is a subset of µ-recursion so there is no such example. I assume you just want an example of primitive recursion.

The term is confusing if you are used to “recursion” in the context of programming. Primitive recursion basically corresponds to programs that don’t use recursion or unbounded loops. For example “compute the factorial of 55” or “sort this input list of at most 10000 integers”.

Yes, something strikes me as strange about the withdrawl announcment.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the incentives and subsidies were coming from the state, not the city. Cuomo and many majority Democrats in the state Senate were on board. The mayor, DeBlasio was on board.

The opposition was driven locally by councilpeople and community activists. Some in state government opposed but I doubt it would have been enough to derail it, especially considering upstate cities have had similar blockbuster subsidy deals given to them (Albany with IBM/nanotech, Buffalo with Tesla/Solar City).

It seems like Amazon would be driven to withstand some (likely temporary) public criticism in order to get billions of dollars of incentives. After all, they already faced the same criticism during the HQ2 spectacle and have a lot of same type of backlash in their hometown to begin with.

Makes me wonder if there's another story playing out that the public has not heard yet.
I'm nostagic for precise search, but I wonder how it would have fared with the scale we have now.

(Edit: scale and diversity of input data but also audiences)

Google regularly fails to include all words I searched (even if it's only three or four), often retrieving completely useless results. I doubt it's due to incompetence; I take it as a signal that they're now struggling to match the volume and characteristics of the data they have to ingest to an adequate user experience.
NYC rejected Amazon. Not the other way around.
Looks like it is 70-80%, possibly higher.

> First of all, complaints about the capex of nuclear make little sense if you are trying to argue for wind/solar;

I'm having a hard time making sense of this claim. You compare the costs of wind/solar to nuclear basically by capex only, why does the cost of capital even matters? Why what relation do fossil fuels beating them on under developed countries change how one compares to the other?

Re: availability, that’s right if you only have a primary node and no standby ones. Like manigandham said, there won’t be any downtime if you have a standby node.
I loved the experience of reading this article. The flow through the images, animations, and text all controlled without thinking only using one input-device was executed perfectly. There was a strong connection between the text and the image media where one would give way to the other but at the same time supported each other throughout without taking control away from the user.
Still, Google is tightening the screws: moving DNS resolver into the browser, instead of using the system one; moving DNS over to https+ESNI to hide among other traffic; forcing their own DNS servers instead of user configured. That's all together means, that they do not trust not only the ISPs, but neither the user, and that they want to have a unobstructed communication channel out of their software to the mothership, privacy and control by the users be damned.

So the pihole community is tiny, but that may be the reason, why Google thinks that they are worth the sacrifice: after all, there is just a few of them.

Well the point is that the city should not be thought of as a business. Neoliberalism is a dead-end ideology that got us into today's mess.
This all is true.

I also wonder how much of the yacht business is really about money laundering or tax-evasion. Like the art collecting world. If your company buys the boat in one country, reflags it to Panama, sells it in Monaco the next tax year... I don't know any details but I'm sure there's substantial room here to massage what numbers you present to various tax collectors.
I use it as visual feedback from the parser. That is, if I’ve messed up a bracket placement while moving code around, all the code after that will be colored “oddly” and I can instantly tell both that I’ve made a mistake, and often where exactly that mistake is.

I contest that they highlights based on keyword-based regex too. I haven’t formally analyzed TextMate grammars, but I believe the scoping behaviors take them into context free grammar territory.
