As a fan of Fisher, it's interesting to read an open-minded review of his work from someone on the right. But the bit about Islam can't be left unchallenged. The reviewer says:

>>> I would not claim that Islam is monolithically malign, of course, but someone less constrained by their unconscious sense of ideological appropriateness would ask why interpretations of the faith lead people towards evangelistic violence and puritanical tyranny so much more than interpretations of other faiths.

But here in America we still have Christians practicing evangelistic violence and working to enforce puritanical tyranny. There's nothing unique about Islam in this regard, unfortunately. Like nearly any religion, it can be mustered to support incredible love or horrific cruelty.
They have been fined for abusing their position for a decade.

No, it does not.

According to you reference link:

> We currently plan to install the new developer policy and add the new license in January 2019 after the LLVM 8.0 release has branched.

Also, the source archive for LLVM 8 still contains the old license.

Which means that the first release under the Apache 2 license should be LLVM 9.
So the logic goes, don't join a union or you'll lose you job?

How does that not sound coercive? A company saying "If you collectively bargain against us, we will punish you" sounds ok to you? You've been tricked out of collective bargaining by decades of anti-union propaganda, and now you're carrying water for capital.

I never used CompuServe forums but my understanding is that they were public internet forums, not exactly something that could be used for personal/private messaging. Newsgroups (often used with an email client) pre-dated CompuServe forums by a decade and I'm pretty sure they had a much larger user-base.

AOL Instant Messenger didn't come out until 1997, email was already in heavy use by then.
I'm not sure how you came up with those numbers but I disagree.

A while back I made a python module for libjit and during experimentation I easily got more than 10x speedups by simply translating the python code to the jit. Dusted off the code and ran the test on two different gcd algorithms (time in seconds for 100000 iterations):

gcd: 13.303379424003651
gcd2: 5.1671242880111095
jit_gcd: 0.327398027991876
jit_gcd2: 0.21529806801117957

The jitted functions would probably be a small bit faster if I did any sort of optimations other than a simple algorithmic translation.
perhaps you may look into cryptocurrencies and virtual reality as two places where simple refinement will open up new industries.
An introduction or FAQ as to what all those terms mean. What is a local timeline? What is a federated timeline? Why would I want those to be separate? Which one do I use when I just want to see toots from people I follow? And why is it that sometimes when I visit some person’s profile page, it says I don’t follow them even though I do?

As a long-time Twitter user, I find the lack of initial hand-holding utterly frustrating.
I actually find all note-taking to be hugely distracting. If I really want to understand a lecture, I'd rather not be taking nay notes at all. Otherwise, when I'm taking notes, I'm just scrambling to get into paper what's being said or written and I can't spend any time trying to understand it. My goal is then to just write it down so I can re-read it at home and understand it.

That being said, I'm quite proficient in LaTeX and have taken notes in Emacs. I don't have that many more errors in LaTeX than I do in handwriting. Both are about equally distracting to me.

Sadly, as the other commenter has pointed out, they rely on the recipient server understanding them.

A lot of the fails I get are due to non-existent recipients, full mailboxes and some that detect it as spam end up replying (to me) just to tell me that they've detected it as spam (which I know already, and would prefer they didn't aggravate the issue by replying).

Bear in mind, I'm not talking about recieving spam directly (I get almost none) I'm talking about "back scatter" from innocent (but perhaps poorly configured) mail servers telling me they couldn't or wouldn't deliver "my" email.

This all goes to randomly generated addresses at my domain (which the spammers using my domain are generating), which I receive at my catch-all and may have to consider disabling, while ensuring my mail server doesn't also notify them that it didn't deliver their bounce back (otherwise I'm perpetuating the issue) all at the risk of losing legitimate emails if they're miss-spelt etc.

In total agreement, and I would add that Fisher's position is only acceptable in the left because it is founded in 'class reductionism' - which is sometimes used derogatorily - the idea that capital is the root struggle, because it is in part or in whole the cause of all other struggles.

It is also possible to try to position yourself on the traditional far left while also simply being racist or sexist, but that would be Third-Positionism, which is seeming more and more common in the alt-right. A Third-Positionist would find nothing that they could agree with in EtVC, because they would assert that "comradeship" across a 'cultural boundary' is a communist ideal.
No it's not, it's on the taxpayers because they get bailed out.

The darker side of the problem is that staff and decision makers at institutions have no skin in the game so to speak. They are not the owners, and are highly unlikely to see the long term downside of their decisions. They hope that by the time the music stops playing, they won't be around to have to deal with the consequences.

Some token measures like deferred bonuses or long vesting stock options have been done, but ultimately this just pushed out the horizon a bit. So you have to take care no to be part of a cockup in 5 years instead of 1 year.
Well crispyambulance said ~1000 years. That squiggly line means approximately, you can nitpick with him how approximate you want to be and which start and crumble dates you want to pick. Although he might point out that from the start of the Roman Republic to the dissolution of the Western Roman Empire gets you quite close to 1000 years (the overthrow of the 7th legendary king in 509BC; and Romulus Augustulus, the last emperor of Western Rome, up until 476 AD.)

Honestly this is a silly thing to nitpick, particularly when we all seem to agree that power structures can be virtually immortal on human timescales.
I very much agree that the default should change on college coming directly after high school. Sounds like we had pretty similar paths -- I also took a year off after high school, and did a lot of traveling that I funded by programming (I had a fair amount of previous experience). I feel like that year gave me a ton of perspective that I didn't have before, and while I knew that I liked programming beforehand, I think I gained some new appreciation for it. The one "issue" with that year off is that it's clear to me that I could have foregone college and still done well for myself working as a programmer, which definitely doesn't make me more motivated to finish college, since I much prefer working to going to school...but I'm not convinced that that's actually an issue, and I'm definitely really glad I took that year off. I'm much more disciplined and focused than I was before.

I believe part of the purpose of corporations is to create an entity that is capable of doing "icky" things that might be unpalatable for a person to do, but need to be done nonetheless. Specific examples of "icky" things include building war weapons, producing/testing drugs that we know will kill some patients, performing tasks which create pollution which will kill people, etc. I want to be clear that I'm not proposing how anything should be, and am definitely not implying we should let corporations run amok. I'm just suggesting I believe we're lenient on the icky behaviors of corporations by design. It saves legislators from having to specifically carve out exceptions in the law to allow dangerous things things. Nobody wants their name next to something that sounds like, "XYZ is allowed to kill some people". Instead, they just try to corral them in when it gets to be "too much."
Render the next 60 possible frames (and recursively the next 60 of each 60 to that frame), send them to the client, then based on controller input, it knows which frame to choose next.

Use AI to determine the "most likely futures" and process those branch further.

It could dynamically increase and decrease the "possible futures" sent depending on how fast a person is going and how many input choices they have at any given moment. Compression (combining like elements of different future frames) can happen strongly on frames further into the future that have more time to be decoded.
I never thought about it before, but you are correct - everybody does scream communism.
Engineers don't make decisions like this. Not providing documentation of the feature or providing training to pilots was the problem, and it's caused by multiple management failures. The lack of sensor redundancy likely also is due to management.

To be fair, airpods ended up being a lot more convenient than I imagined before trying them. I still carry around my tin audio t2s for when I'll be listening to music for an extended period of time. But in most cases, the convenience of not dealing with a cord and being able to pause/skip with a tap outweighs the loss in sound quality.
I wonder if we could come up with some set of characteristics common to those groups, perhaps a useful umbrella term. Oh well, guess we can't!
I went to professional school and graduate school with some people with elite undergraduate educations. Of the few that expressed something like an opinion about it, I would say that most of them didn't regret going to elite colleges, but that doing so certainly wasn't obviously worth it.

The answer is always going to be: It depends. Right?

Sometimes college isn't worth it at all, elite or not.

> - Fines account for <5% of the EU's budget

This is maybe not as comforting as you think it sounds. 1.5B is 1% of the budget that you describe below, which is non-trivial -- that's make or break money. I'm guessing it exceeds the total annual contribution of several member states (I tried to find the actual budget, but talk about incomprehensible documents [1] -- what's an "own resource"? What's with the obsession with sugar?). To that end it seems like fines like this are a critical part of the EU's budget.

> If you sum up all the fines collected by continent

I'm wondering if you have a reference for that -- I can't really find anything definitive and it would be interesting as a data point.

As far as I know if there is not enough space it should trigger a page fault, which in turn triggers an exception, which should probably result in a segmentation fault.
you way overestimate people - it happens fairly frequently in philadelphia that the trolleys are blocked by illegally parked cars. Cars also try to beat the trolleys at intersections and cause accidents all the time - which when the trolleys are old 50s/60s solid steel beasts - a modern car does not win that fight.
Well, for opiates specifically all one really needs to do is visit a doctor. It's gotten better, but in the past 5 years I've been offered a prescription for painkillers after nearly every doctors visit where I could have conceivably used them. I needed 5 stitches on my leg, and was offered 4 weeks worth of drugs. Ridiculous, considering the stitches weren't even in a month, and after 3 days I wasn't even taking acetaminophen.
Studying history seems like it would have immense value to society, but negative value to short-term corporate interests, and, by extension, may not be in the best interests of the individual. The same could be said of the study of ethics.

I must say “seems like” because there’s really no scientific way to prove this (most of the time...although there are some interesting micro-studies in behavioral economics). But if you think about it even a little bit, I think you would agree that having a “collective memory” about causality in society is incredibly valuable to the interests of the citizens of that society, even if it has negative economic value to individuals.

Then you don't know anything about true ayurveda. Have you ever met someone practicing ayurveda for anything and got treated? I got cured for 2 things, one of which has no known medicine (only repeated surgery for life) and it never got back in past 18 years.
> That's a problem. That's a TRAINING problem.

Isn't the root problem still related to the fact that the AoA sensors were returning wrong information and the MCAS was simply reacting to that in a dangerous and non-obvious way?

I guess the pilots should be aware of this type of system reaction but still it seems like something that should be fixed at a higher level than training (indicators, backup AoA sensors, detecting dangerous descent after trigging nose down, etc).
I grew up in the Soviet Bloc. I didn't assume you were from U.S., not sure what gives that impression. I was talking about U.S., because it originated the current drug policy of the Western countries, roughly speaking.

>In my experience it simply doesn't happen - I think people just know how damaging it could be (and possibly how much trouble they would be in) that they pretty much have to be considerate and self-aware.

That's not really the why, at least not here. The shortcomings of trams (including derailing and the inability to maneuver past stuck or badly parked cars) are handled by a 24h emergency crew dedicated for just that. I think they move on average less than one car per day, but those missions are much more frequent during wintertime.

Trams are much more prone to failure than buses.
I don't disagree. But tech is one of, if not the most, competitive sector right now.

According to Dept. of Energy:

US annual hydrogen production is approximately 10 million metric tons (1.0E+10 kg), 68% of which is used in petroleum processing.

Given that worldwide production of hydrogen-derived ammonia is 140 million tons in total, compared with hydrotreated gasoline coming in at about 2000 million tons worldwide, it doesn't appear that the U.S. is an outlier.

Decarbonizing the fertilizer industry would be fantastic. Wind-powered and solar-powered electrolyzers are already starting to do that job, perfect uses for intermittent energy sources. I'm skeptical that your process can realistically make more fertilizer than it consumes.

I find it a little disturbing that you boast "Hydrogen's quite easy" with this little public documentation to back up your claims. Be real careful here: you don't want to be the next Theranos.

You have lightning trapped in a bottle because of your luck in landing a YC slot. I encourage you to consider pivoting technologies away from anything involving hydrogen. Since you're such a big fan of ammonia, why not just go straight for that? Getting your nitrogen from the plant instead of from the air might stand a better chance to beat Haber-Bosch.
"gamers" are a small portion of the game buying community, especially very profitable more casual games.

Conversely, gamers are probably a high percent of the medium-high end hardware community. Those companies manufacturing physical products do need to cater to gamers.
Sibling comments are saying investors couldn't know better because they were either lazy or the information was obfuscated, but the truth is the rating agencies are PAID to review the risk and assign a simple letter system that summarizes how risky the investment is in a general sense. Too bad they were too worried about losing their customers and decided to slap an A on what should easily be a CCC

My experience is different (as an outsider to the whole elite school): many companies in the STEM fields will go to elite colleges to recruit. Graduates from state colleges have to apply themselves.

The order in my mind is:

1) STEM elite
2) Scholarship elite
3) STEM local
4) Any other program local
5) Trade
6) Any other program elite

This order does not apply to wealthy people. Those who come from wealth can apply to an elite college and get an elite education and work for their friends without stressing out about school debt.

Yes it does: it shows that there is a procedure that would have worked had the pilots recognized the issue and known about the procedure.

The pilots were stressed in part because they didn't know -- they had plenty of time to recognize the issue and take action had they known, but they didn't, so no amount of time would have helped them. We don't know if one more thing to know about would too much, but I rather doubt that.
