One of the most memorable ride was a trip from Vietnam to Kunming in the 90s. I hope this old line is still running. The train travels along a canyon. The view is incomparably stunning.

China rail have pretty bad hygiene at that time. The passengers freely throw their trash on the floor and out of the window. The attendants swiped the floor every few hours. Every time they pushed a mountain of peanut husk away. There was a peasant family on board with a baby. The baby needed to relief. So the parents held him up to have him shit on the floor. The attendant saw it and really lost it. She scolded the hell out of the family.
It's tax policy that is designed to be non-transparent. When the government collects $20 dollars from my income I know exactly what kind of value is being collected. When the government prints $20 it's not transparent what kind of value is being redirected to the government.

Hi,

Great work on the website http://www.fast-files.com. I have a suggestion for the website. You could put a check in there before uploading the file, to make sure user has checked the box. You could save up some processing expenses as well. I personally could help add this process in your website if you provide some source control link.

You're assuming solar exclusively means PVC.
Yes, there's plenty of evidence. But let's go to the horse's mount - Amazon itself, in its 10K, lists counterfeit goods as a business risk.

https://qz.com/1542839/amazon-has-finally-admitted-to-invest...

Sure, they list it as a potential problem only, but I think we can at least agree it's worth considering, no?
Help me understand where I went wrong reading this. I read, paraphrased: "The problem with MMT is that if everyone believes in it, they'll do things that cause inflation to rise", and "This is a problem primarily for the investing class".
"one color and style .. with limited options" is simply incorrect, and your biases are showing. You're either being disingenuous or not affording the same luxury to Tesla that other manufacturers get. Plenty of manufacturers charge more for different colors, and, by the way, that's considered an "option".

It's also an assumption that they had to (try to) close all their stores to make the $35k Model 3 possible.

The fact of the matter is, every manufacturer wants to sell products for the highest overall profit (unit profit * volume) possible, and lower overhead. The fact that they previously refused to sell (presumably lower margin) short-range 3s does not mean it wasn't possible. Maybe it wasn't possible. Or maybe they'd rather make $100 per unit on a mid-range than $1 per unit on a short-range.
I thought a lot about a similar concept, using drones (maybe even swarms). Has this ever been attempted? I guess the energy and posioning constraints would be much tighter, but it would make for a fun project.

One advantage I see to using strings and wheels is that there is no strict requirement for spray painting, as it can be done with regular rolls. I was a bit disappointed to see that it used spray painting here as well (and quite a bit of sprays bottles per painting).
I agree, and diverging gets practically impossible if the image is farther away, like on a TV screen. There is no natural scenario when one's eyes would diverge, which is what would usually be necessary in such cases.
It will _always_ possible after an major airliner crash to say that one particular thing that would have prevented it would have been worth the cost.

But investing in just the specific mitigation needed to prevent the next disaster is not an option that we have. We only get to choose a level of investment in protection against classes of risks based on human judgement of the probabilities involved.

...sorry this comment is so awkwardly worded, but I lost the edit window for it almost immediately, I don't know why.

My underlying point would have been that the Bible considers the act of gay sex a sin, but sex between people of the same gender wasn't necessarily considered deviant in many ancient cultures (such as the Greeks.) The concepts of "heterosexual" and "homosexual" identity, or of "being gay" would have been alien.
I want an online version that will exist for at least 10 more years preferably 20 for $100 with the DVD copy, sold by one of the giants with the budget to sustain that.
The history here is a bit as follows. Back about four years ago, I set out to write a debugger for Julia and while I was at it, I figured I might as well fix all of the other things that have always bothered me about debugging. As an example of that, it had the following features:

- Being completely written from scratch in Julia
- Mixed debugging between Julia and C/C++ code
- Integration with https://github.com/mozilla/rr for time traveling debugging
- Debugging windows programs running on a linux host under wine (and in particular even as an rr replay).
- Zero overhead debugging by using mixed modes (DWARF based debugging generally, a much more accurate interpreter based one when possible).
- Very precise location tracking, on an expression basis, not just a line-by-line basis
- Multi-process debugging by riding along RPC calls, even across machine and even as separate rr recordings across machines

As you can tell from this feature list, that project was a bit over ambitious and in the end failed to be a particularly useful debugger for Julia. It was useable for a bunch of basic cases, but fairly brittle. Also, then 0.6 came around and all of Julia's internal APIs changed and porting over the entirety of Gallium would have been quite hard.

After 0.6 was released, I decided this wasn't working out for a Julia debugging story and pulled out just the interpreter and UI parts from Gallium (that package was called ASTInterpreter2.jl). This worked ok, but was lacking a bunch of features that I never got around to implementing, because the lead up to 1.0 required a whole bunch of compiler work that nobody else was available to do. This work now is based on that work from 0.6, but actually making it work nicely and paying a whole lot of attention to it that I was never able to. I'm very happy that Tim, Kristoffer and Sebastian decided to take this on, because I feel like my workload has only increased over the past year ;).

I still very much want all the ambitious features from above, and we do still have the code (and much of it is actually in use, just not for debugging) and I'm fully expecting them to make a recurrence. However, this time around, we'll start with a stable, usable system and gradually make it faster and add features, rather than building an unstable system with all the features and trying to fix it. The former approach is much better for getting usable tools out (though sometimes the latter can lead to more interesting results in a research setting). The other thing to note is that Julia is much more stable now, so it's easier to keep things running without breaking every few months.
That's exactly what he said. People made money for -performing- music, and performing artists still make money for doing that.

Yeah. Now that I think of it, Intel's probably releasing this Gen11 stuff because of the GDC conference. So this document should really be seen as a "sneak peak", as opposed to a fully in depth guide.

I don't think anyone can really complain about getting Gen11 details this early. I mean, I'd obviously want more documentation on a sooner timeframe, but Gen11 isn't even released yet. So we gotta keep our expectations in line with reality.
Unfortunately such training is for the limbic system, so pain and fear are required. The limbic system doesn't speak English and cannot reason.
The point is that the government doesn't need to borrow any money in the first place.

The government needs money only to buy the goods and services of the private sector in the service of the public interest. There is no other utility for money in the modern state.

The government no longer needs to keep stocks of gold, the government can create "digital gold" as needed.

Recall why the government needs to print money: because money is an abstraction, a fungible token that represents a constant fraction of the total real wealth in the the entire economic system. If we keep producing more goods and services, but don't produce more money, we enter deflation. To avoid deflation, the government needs only to ensure that the amount of money in circulation increases in line with any increase in economic output. As long as this is managed proficiently, the economic system will be stable.

The government increases the amount of money in circulation by purchasing goods and services from the public. To this end, the government can offer citizens money in exchange for labour that serves the public interest and fulfill both its economic and pro-social obligation.

What's the point of the government creating these abstract value tokens, giving them to us, and then demanding them back? And furthermore, why does the government need to borrow arbitrary amounts of similar tokens from other governments?

It doesn't. Our current system is a relic from the days of governments using a limited, fungible, physical resource (gold) which didn't linearly scale with economic growth.

The government no longer needs to borrow tokens, it needs only to create more of them, and should only occasionally need to remove tokens from circulation (taxation) as a way to account compel pro-social behaviour -- e.g. carbon emission taxes.

Yes, these people are wrong. We must be able to make judgements of fact to make good decisions about these things.
It's not weird to say; that assessment makes sense to me and I'm fairly sure it would to others as well.

Sociopathic kids will use the events and memories from the drills as triggers to intimidate and remind their peers of the threat - or as you say, even further as inspiration for actual attacks.

And I'd be willing to bet there are some unusual psychological characteristics of the folks who perform these drills and arrange them - does a normal-minded person really want to teach others what it's like to live in threat of imminent death?

All of this time and money should go to reducing the possibility of shootings occurring in the first place, and reducing the cycles of hurt which lead to them, rather than re-enacting and normalizing them.
Yes we should be hashing to avoid these sort of password logging issues. This is one of those old internet tech-debt that should be resolved in the future either via JS or HTML standard where password is hashed before sending to the server.

Reasons for this are:
- Internet services have grown and it's too much of a burden for user to have different password for every service.

- Even if users have different password, they use the same pattern and add some number of special character at the end which defeats the purpose if password pattern is revealed.

In order to protect the pattern of password across multiple services these login services should use client-side hashing. Think of it like something along the lines of SSL green icon in chrome, services not using client-side hashing are leaking it somewhere (no way to tell if they are not leaking).
Can you reply from the aliases? If you're using a service provider, can you share which one you use?

Every open marketplace is always going to list counterfeit goods as a business risk, because it is. That's not the same thing as implying that their reputation is damaged. On the contrary, Amazon's horrible reputation for counterfeit goods seems to exist here and on reddit and that's pretty much it.
Tesla claims they make 60% of all supply for the EV market specifically.

I believe this excludes plug-in hybrids and buses. It is also counting all Gigafactory pack capacity, which includes cells made by Pano in Asia that are assembled at Giga for Model S/X packs, so a bit squishy.

This isn't true at all. The size of the US isn't the problem, at all, no matter how much you want to believe it is. The best places for high-speed train routes aren't across the continent (even with HSR, it wouldn't be terribly competitive with airlines unless you're going partway, e.g. DC to Houston), it's along the coasts. The northeast corridor is the most obvious place to put HSR (no, Acela doesn't count). The other obvious place is along the west coast: SD-LA-SF-Portland-Seattle). Just a rail line between SanFran and LA would make a lot of sense, but the US simply cannot make it happen, even when it's all within a single state.

And yes, it really is a general unwillingness to invest in infrastructure. You can see it in everything else going on in the US these days. No, the 50s interstate system is not a counterpoint, because that was 60-70 years ago now, and things in this country have changed a lot since then. The US was good at lots of infrastructure in those days, not just highways.
I've had occasion to participate in an active shooter exercise using simunitions. It was for police and EMS to practice their response. All participants were given safety gear, informed of the risks, and signed a waiver. I can't imagine not being given the proper safety gear and not being briefed about the exercise beforehand.

Is there an enterprise behind, interested in people mouth data?
They don’t want people to keep writing COM/ActiveX code, and they don’t want search engines to point you to such pages, so why would a commercial entity spend money to keep those pages around?

Hosting costs may be peanuts for them, but there’s also maintenance. Even if they don’t bother updating the look of the site, there’s the fact that old sites eventually run on no longer supported technologies that may only run on unsupported OSes, both potentially riddled with security vulnerabilities.
> This is the top comment of literally every Amazon thread. This has nothing to do with ads.

I disagree. The comment questions why Amazon would do this now, since they're already facing consumer trust issues, and chasing advertising dollars will likely erode consumer trust further.
For those unfamiliar with KiCad and electronics, it is an electronics design tool. You need a tool like that to design PCBs (printed circuit boards) where components are later placed to build devices.

For those familiar with electronics, but eyeing KiCad from a distance, it is a very capable tool which can be used to produce moderately complex designs. I have personally designed 4-layer boards with impedance-controlled differential pairs with it. While you might not want to use it to design a PC motherboard, well, let's just say that we don't all design PC motherboards.

The upcoming KiCad conference (https://kicad-kicon.com/) looks very interesting (my company, PartsBox https://partsbox.io/ is a sponsor) and the future for KiCad looks bright :-)

A 'software engineer' need not even have a college degree, the only qualification for calling yourself a software engineer is finding an employer willing to give you that title. Even non-PE mechanical engineers at least have the bare minimum decency to get an undergraduate engineering degree before calling themselves engineers.

Of course, some people get software engineering degrees, or computer science degrees (that term is another can of worms entirely), but that is not the rule.
Reposting this comment from Eric's blog for more context (PM on the Developer Relations team. We have been migrating blogs since 2017 and enabling employees to export / migrate their blog. To your specific issue, ex-employees that want their blog posts can email me dan(dot)fernandez(at)microsoft(dot)com and I’ll route to the support team. This does not include comments as the MSDN/TechNet blogs are not GDPR compliant (aka the right to be forgotten).

As for why, other community sites like TechCommunity are driving blogging at Microsoft for individuals, while product teams are looking to group official blogs (Windows, Office, and Visual Studio), and for blog posts that were really tutorials, moving them to open source documentation on https://docs.microsoft.com on GitHub. Customers ran into a number of issues where blogs provided out-of-date content/guidance that lead to support issues. For example, of the 16k+ blogs, 86% had not been used in 18 months and thousands were created with no posts or only a single blog post. Cheers,-Dan
> Toyota and VW shipped 10 million cars worldwide last year without any logistics issues. Hell, most companies are able to ship their products without any controllable logistics issues.

These companies are shipping with more or less established infrastructure and supply chains that have been optimized over decades. Tesla has been building almost all of its infrastructure and supply chain from scratch (batteries, supercharger networks, software tech, etc.), while also getting cars delivered. And breaking tons of new ground in almost every area of automotive tech.

(You can argue that Torota and VW build infrastructure too, but almost all of it is incremental, and almost none of it is groundbreaking.)

> Why does Tesla get a pass for failing to do something that every other manufacturer gets right?

Nobody's giving them a pass. It just seems unreasonable to draw conclusions without understanding the entire context.

I feel very differently. Weeks in college (typically around the end of the semester) where I pulled 2 all nighters, slept all day a couple days, and generally got much less sleep on all the other days would feel like months. Whereas a month in the middle of the semester would feel like a week due to the monotony.

Now that I work full time I don't go through cyclical periods of sleep deprivation so perhaps now I would experience this the same way you do.

You're the vendors customer.
You're the VISA/Mastercard's customer.
You're the gateway/merchant account providers customer.

People need to learn to accept that you simply aren't Amazon's customer unless you buy direct from them, in very much the same way you aren't eBay's customer.
You're not going to have a functioning economy with the massive climate problems that are coming, along with the Boomer's refusal to invest in infrastructure. If you look at how the Boomers vote, all they care about is the "invading" "Mexicans", abortion, and lower taxes for rich people. Basically, they're a bunch of greedy racists who vote to shoot down any attempt to improve the economy through things like better taxation of the class that can afford to pay more taxes, and better infrastructure for all of us.

No, they're not wiser at all, and they haven't been through any hard times. You're thinking of their parents who went to war in WWII. Those people are mostly dead now. The Boomers are their spoiled, greedy children, who are mostly to blame for the state of this nation now.
I think it's a little absurd to think that shooting somebody with a pellet gun once is going to benefit them in an active shooter situation. With repeated training, maybe, but this is something that is never going to happen again.
