No, it mustn't! The logical negation of the conjunction "classical* and local" is "non-classical or non-local". Electrical universe theory"?! Please stick to standard and generally accepted quantum foundations / interpretation. There's no (non-local) spookiness to be taken out of QM in the first place - except for those who choose to reject the non-classical option. %

* Your last remarks suggest you haven't read those Werner refs and don't know what is meant by the term "classical" as I've used it here - it's a reference to the structure of (general) probability state spaces, not to classical physics per se - and you should substitute "(naively) realist" for "classical" in the above.

% And those familiar with the probability theoretic aspects (see my links in a comment in a different thread here, or Tom Banks's teaser: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance/files/2011/... ), probably won't want to do that. For example, the reason violations of Bell-type inequalities occur in QM is mundane from this perspective: "What on earth did you expect?! You have observables that don't commute! Use the appropriate inequality." https://sci-hub.tw/10.1016/0375-9601(87)90075-2
The visitor pattern isn't appropriate everywhere, but it's quite good for traversing and manipulating ASTs (abstract syntax trees). An AST typically has many kinds of nodes, but programs that traverse the AST usually only care about some small subset of those nodes. The visitor pattern provides a clean solution: a generic AST traversal library visits all nodes in the tree while allowing the program to customize what happens when visiting specific nodes. I've found the visitor pattern very effective for creating derivative ASTs without knowing about everything that might be in the AST.

As a former Oracle employee, it's easy to see Oracle's shitty business model--

"Extort everyone for obscene license fees because we currently can, and force them to buy cloud credits they'll never use because Amazon."
TL;DR - Full list from the article:
'seven apps, including Yelp, the language-learning app Duolingo and the job search app Indeed, as well as the King James Bible app and two Muslim prayer apps, Qibla Connect and Muslim Pro, still send your personal data to Facebook before you can decide whether you want to consent or not.'
That's based on the assumption that workers were being fairly compensated for what Amazon was getting in the first place.

Hint: If you got a wage increase because of a minimum wage bump, you were probably being cheated in the first place.

I don't really understand the mentality in the United States where physical labor to perform complex (unautomatable or impractically automatable) tasks are so severely undercompensated. We pretend that having another human being sacrifice 8 hours of their life, and the costs to show up is worth barely enough where at the end of the month, societal safety nets need to be invoked to stay solvent. It's mystifying.

Is there something viscerally unpleasant to imagining someone flipping burgers for a living being able to afford to rent their own apartment, and be able to have enough to invest in bettering their lot?

The economy is horribly skewed. Labor is getting repeatedly short changed in an infantile quest for "the biggest growth numbers ever". It's a problem that won't be solved until the labor pool refuses to play ball, forcing businesses to grind to a halt. Taft-Hartley or not, Labor is going to be making many large waves in the coming years methinks.

There may be no 'society' anymore, bit there are a hell of a lot of people out there getting played.

I think we are both arguing in a healthy manner - I realized and I edited my post.

Continuing:
“Cover Flow was a failure as part of a music organisation software.”
- I feel like we should separate presentation from art. There are exceptions such as experiential art, performance art, where presentation is the art.

Just the way cover flow gets in the way of enjoying music, animated websites get in the way of the content (the experiment). Experiment is fine, its presentation is flawed.

I strongly and vehemently oppose anything that gets in the way of the content. Imagine if Rothko’s paintings were displayed in a gold plated frame with LEDs flashing - I’m taking it to an extreme to make a point that designers should do as little as possible and allow the content to speak for itself. It doesn’t mean that we should get rid of designers and hand over a .zip file of the images. It means that don’t make the experience frustrating. Don’t add your own flair.
Thanks, I updated the post.

I have a hard-won TDS meter that lets me measure the total dissolved solids in a cup of coffee.

Like music, coffee is an entirely subjective experience. Like music, distilling it down to data does _not_ implicitly destroy the experience. Judging a cup of coffee good or bad solely based on data is impossible. Maybe this cup is intentionally overextracted and that song is intentionally overmastered. That doesn’t guarantee that the coffee or song are good or bad, it simply helps you understand why you do or don’t like it.

After making a thousand cups of coffee with a TDS meter, I can predict what would make a cup of coffee better without needing the meter anymore, and I’ve learned that I care more about enjoying coffee than I do about perfecting it.

If you sat through a blind test of a thousand songs, and at the end discovered that you _can_ distinguish 16/44 from 32/384, you might still _choose_ not to care. Most people don’t want every cup of coffee to be competition grade because it’s really expensive (density sorting), really difficult (dual-wielding flow-restricted kettles), and the payoff isn’t worth it every day to them. Maybe that’s how you’d feel after A/B testing 1,000 songs, as I did after pouring 1,000 cups. Maybe not.

For most people, knowing that 16/48 is indistinguishable or better than 32/384 will save them thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of audio setup, tuning, design, repurchasing, etc.

For a few people, it’s worth it to them to go competition, either in coffee or in music. That’s certainly their right, but it’s not at all guaranteed to make them any happier than they would be with 16/48.
The problem is the 8 hour workday for me. Getting ready for work takes an hour, commute is at least an hour by train each way, so getting enough sleep is tough.

"... We need wilderness preserved--as much of it as is still left, and as many kinds--because it was the challenge against which our character as a people was formed. The reminder and the reassurance that it is still there is good for our spiritual health even if we never once in ten years set foot in it. It is good for us when we are young, because of the incomparable sanity it can bring briefly, as vacation and rest, into our insane lives. It is important to us when we are old simply because it is there--important, that is, simply as an idea." - Wallace Stegner

Your comment reminded me of this excerpt of a letter to the American Congress about environmental preservation.
I'm not even sure what I've got. I can hear very well. With enough focus I can follow people and animals around at pretty sizeable distances. I practice that. Or perhaps I should say I enjoy doing that, in the dark in the small pieces of forest that still remain where I live. I can easily follow a conversation from 30 meters distance, with sufficient focus.

But I cannot process, and sometimes not focus on multiple people talking, even when they're not talking through one another. I can tell you a lot generally about their speech, just not what it says. Where they're standing, tone of voice, are they moving, what their intentions are. But if there are 2 conversations in earshot of me I cannot tell you what anybody is saying even if they're shouting to me. If 3 people are standing around and talking I can only participate if I totally ignore one of them and just blindly shut them out, whatever they're saying. Sometimes it gets worse and even with little disturbance I just cannot tell anymore what people are saying to me.

People don't understand. In a 1:1 conversation I'm warm, open, attentive and so on. In a 3 way or more conversation, I'm cold, absent, distracted, annoying (because: very bored) ... Worse, often suddenly, from their perspective, I no longer understand them. I've learned to just hide this, and guess, and find some other excuse to turn the conversation back into a 1:1 conversation.
I think housing should be a basic human right. Just get Elon Musk to build affordable underground tunnel homes with his Boring company. He wants to build a city on Mars, so why not test the technology (and social aspects) here on Earth where it's much easier.

> Values really shouldn't be thought of as second-class citizens of a dict.

Aren't they? If I do `d["a"] = 1; d["a"] = 2` the first assignment is completely gone after the second, I don't get a set with superimposed values on the "a" key.
The thought is more like, if everyone goes to the city park nearest them, each city park can bear the traffic. If everyone around the world visits just this one city park, it becomes unsustainable.

So nobody owns anything, or has exclusive right, but when each area is used mostly by the respective locals, it's more sustainable all the way around. That's the tension.
I feel like this is the past of housing as well. Most people you see that live in a relatively nice housing unit in a nice neighborhood have a roommate -- the person they married. I remember when I was younger I would always ask myself why it seemed everyone other than me had twice as much money with which to buy a house... then I realized.
My guess is this is the sort of functionality you'd want as a GitHub bot that proposed PRs automatically for you to manually evaluate and merge.
> Oracle's P/E ratio implies the expectation of great growth, but to me Oracle looks kind of floundering with competition from F/OSS databases and all the failed acquisitions / new lines of business such as "cloud".

Umm, ORCL's PE is currently 18.7 and the average PE of the S&P 500 is currently around 21 so your statement about a PE that is pricing in "great growth" is dubious at best:). The average S&P 500 PE ratio is also above 18 if you start at a reasonable date of say 1980..

That’s definitely something that happens in non-Electron apps, though.

Not to mention the fact that Electron apps just bundle an archive containing the app sources (minified or not), whereas you’re not necessarily going to be able to read the source code of a C++ app running on your system.
That's the thing though. It only works in your favor if your popularity is not low in a group. Like a joke, people will laught depending on the delivery as well as the person delivering.
Before Python grew a set type, it was common to implement them in a similar way, i.e. as a dict with some kind of default value (0, 1, None, etc).
They don't. I don't know where your getting this idea from. The tiny origination fee that lenders charge is nothing to compared the amount of interest earned over the life of the loan. A lender would much rather have steady income over 30 years than constantly having to seek out new deals.

> IIUC, Chrysler/Ford/GM/Toyota etc. don't give consumers any ability to mess with the electronics or software in these cars.

I think they just don't want the hassle, AFAIK they keep the ECU mostly a black box even to first-party mechanics as well (because in the U.S. if they show it to their first party mechanics, they are generally obligated to sell it to third parties at a reasonable price as well). Third party, and even open source, ECUs do work well though (emissions control being a bit more difficult to get right, mind you, and some of these projects are mostly abandoned by now); I don't think it's really that hard to swap it out, the sensors are mostly passive components.

The article (and numerous other sources I've seen over the years) disagrees with you so I'm curious why you're so certain?
MP3s at any bitrate cannot properly reproduce certain sounds, as preecho can happen and it is fairly easy to train yourself to notice it. Pretty much any modern lossy format can be made transparent at high enough bitrates though.
Is it really riskier than a married couple purchase, assuming the friends have lived together for a reasonable period before?

Assuming their assessment is correct, that a non-Tesla employed mechanic doesn’t have the training or quality controls, then my response to Tesla would be: “Document these quality controls and release sufficient information to allow a mechanic to become trained and qualified.”

In my view making this kind of information available should be required by law for any product.
I reckon it's a bit of both. As the internet allows people to share information about "special places," more people will travel there. I see this all the time with rock climbing--areas get more publicity, and climbers flock there, and there are real impacts because of increased traffic. I guess that is tangentially related to more social media posts, but there are also just more people climbing now than there has been in the past.
> E-cars are nowhere near a car culture, because of the significant innovations in every ecar that have no history, nobody you can collaborate with to learn. It may someday be a culture, but not yet. Its something new under the sun. Maybe its sensible to go slowly.

People have been building electric cars independently for a long time, but it is a smaller culture since some of the parts (particularly the motors) are not commodities yet.

The issue is that you cannot forcibly update devices; not all users accept them, often because of the concerns which were being discussed in this thread.

But if you continue to 'support' the legacy algorithm to keep things working for those users, you also open them up to attack and they will surely complain if someone steals their information from "your service".
The more I traveled and experienced other cultures, the more I realized people are the same everywhere.
I've reveiwed California laws, but some time ago, and other jurisdictions vary (sometimes considerably), but my recollection is that after repossession, the lender must pay the excess value to the borrower in a fairly short timeframe. The auction sale to establish value is not required by law, but is allowed by law, and provides an efficient and nearly unchallengeable method to establish the current value.

When banks end up owning properties is usually when there are no bidders; the starting bid is usually either the amount of delinquent debt or the total of the debt and any other costs that can be charged to the borrower. The bank has effectively shown that the house is worth less than what was owed at that point in time, and then it's their job to get rid of it (in some cases a bit of staging will go a long way, in others, they'll have to sell it for much less or hold it for a long time or both)

AFAIK in the case of automobiles, it is already required by U.S. law. It is my understanding that they are obligated to make the same materials available to third party mechanics that they do to their own.

The only rebuttal to this that I have found compelling is that 24/192 downloads make sense if you are going to sample the music in your own creations. Recording and mixing with extra dynamic range, combined with only needing to low-pass once at the end has demonstrable advantages. Of course this was a response to marketing that was definitely not targeted at samplers, so it's not so much of a rebuttal as arguing at cross points.

So what, was Whole Foods giving employees more hours than what was required to have the store functioning properly, simply because labor was cheap? That doesn't add up, to me. Also, this is discounting the value of the employee's time. Like, if they get the same paycheck, but are working fewer hours for it, that's of no benefit to them.
How is that different than the folks who run an after market engine management system, or a custom fuel map on the OEM board?

The reality is level 5 is a pipe-dream except for a few situations and I don't expect to ever see it widespread until they resolve the situation where the road is snow-covered, ditch is full of snow so can not be easily identified, it's snowing moderately heavy and there's oncoming traffic, while driving at night. Oh, and it's in a rural area so maps are somewhat lacking in accuracy. When that happens I'll believe it.
