I think one of the biggest issues that prevent making things better for passengers isn't necessarily the cost of building the infrastructure, but the acceptability of the status quo. The benefit to going with rail isn't dramatic enough to inspire urgency.

I really think it would be useful to completely eliminate most vehicles from city centers. Only mass transit would be allowed, and walking/cycling would be prioritized over that. People would go to one of the parking lots (which would also be train stations) outside the city and take mass transit to go to some common hub of the city. Since driving directly to your destination is no longer an option, catching a train closer to your house and improving mass transit automatically becomes important, and lower pollution and traffic within cities will improve many aspects of city living. Also, since roads would be much smaller, buildings can be built more densely, which improves walkability and livability of cities.

However, people are currently addicted to cars, so the conversation will likely never happen.
Had the same issue with an Electron app of mine, published on the AppStore with 10k users or so.

It's been more than a year that I'm in contact with Google/Widevine, waiting for my license.

This is a nightmare. It's such an obvious gatekeeping mechanism.
I can't decide whether it's journalistic malpractice not to mention Flowers for Algernon, or an incredible act of journalistic restraint and/or editing.
Gravitational potential isn’t something magic in the water. It loses the same amount of potential going from 3000ft to 2000ft whether there are 0 dams or 10 dams generating in the middle.

> If we compare the smartest people in the world now like Terence Tao to the smartest people of more than half a century ago like John von Neumann, there seems to be little difference. Eliezer Yudkowsky expands the thought out in his essay “Algernon’s Law”, stating it as:

>> Any simple major enhancement to human intelligence is a net evolutionary disadvantage.

Intelligence is an almost unalloyed good when we look at correlations in the real-world for income, longevity, happiness, contributions to science or medicine, criminality, favoring of free speech etc18. Why is it, then, that we can find quotes like “the rule that human beings seem to follow is to engage the brain only when all else fails - and usually not even then”19 or “In effect, all animals are under stringent selection pressure to be as stupid as they can get away with”20? Why does so much psychological research, especially heuristics & biases, seem to boil down to a dichotomy of a slow accurate way of thinking and a fast less-accurate way of thinking (“system I” vs “system II” being just one of the innumerable pairs coined by researchers21)?
Because thinking is expensive and slow, and while it may be an unalloyed good, it is subject to diminishing returns like anything else (if it is profitable at all in a particular niche: no bacteria needs sophisticated cognitive skills, nor most mammals) and other things become more valuable. Just another tradeoff.
If you already have a complete config management setup, you're already getting 85% of the benefit.

If you're choosing one, Chef and Puppet work by having an agent on each client contact a server and pull down whatever's designated for that client. Then they try to make the local client conform to that state. Ansible is a push system where your server goes out to each client and tells it what to do over SSH.

In the event of a server issue, a chef-controlled system will continue trying to be in the last state it downloaded. That is, if you make a manual changeto something that chef controls, expect it to be reverted shortly. An ansible-controlled system will diverge with every manual change, up until contact with the server is regained.

The major difference between Chef and Puppet is that Chef recipes are Ruby programs with supplementary libraries, while Puppet uses a DSL written in Ruby. If you already have some Ruby experience or coworkers who write in Ruby, Chef is probably a better choice for that alone.

If you don't know any Ruby at all, ansible configuration may be faster for you to pick up.
I can think of a few reasons:

- Convenience & economic: one kg of nylon bag costs around 2$, 20~40 times cheaper than biodegradable plastic, and nylon bag are taxed at more than 100%.

- Local market are full of farmers selling their fresh vegetables, poultry or pork. So when I go buy food for my dinner I come back with 3~5 bags, with each ingredients having their own bag. While a visit to supermarket often result in 1 bag for all of those.

- Average Vietnamese simply wasn't taught how precious nature is. Just 30 years ago we were riding on wood gas truck or cars modded to run on kerosene mixed with gasoline. There is a saying "Prosperity brings respect" (roughly translated) in Vietnam, and we are still poor and too busy to make more money.

- We simply don't have the facility for classifying trash and recycling/burning them.

Where I'm from out here in flyover country there are an awful lot of people stuck in dead end jobs that would literally jump at a drug like that if its effect was dramatic enough.

Getting that GED in a weekend? You better believe there are a lot of people out here in trailer park and opioid land who would be all over that. Doesn't mean much to us, but the GED opens up raises at their current jobs, and even jobs that they currently are not able to get. That's not even counting the waitress types trying to get through college at night without waking up their kid. Those single mom types would definitely take it. It wouldn't even be a question for them.

Only way an illicit drug like that would not be consumed around where I live, is if the people around here couldn't find out about it. (Even that though would be hard, because I'm sure we have drug dealers around here who are probably pretty good at marketing stuff like that.)

>What would happen if the mice escaped the facility, and bite other animals or humans

Genes don't typically transfer that way. Except for extraordinary circumstances where the disease is caused by some sort of virus, getting bit by someone with hemophilia or cystic fibrosis or down syndrome isn't going to give you the disease.

>or breed with 'normal' mice

It's not impossible for this to happen, but in general these mice have been bred for generations in a lab environment where they are provided with food and water without having to find it on their own. The world is already a harsh place for a normal mouse that is well adapted to it, so if you add in a "soft" mouse with some sort of debilitating genetic disorder, I wouldn't worry too much about it taking over the world.
> However, they still legally hold the rights to what they have, and thus releasing their content in public is still illegal. You'd have to get the original authors to legally release it elsewhere, which they might not even have the rights to.

Most scientists still hold the rights to their articles. You can often e-mail a professor if you need additional information, artifacts or code for reproducibility. Yes, it's hard to get professors to e-mail you back a lot of the times, but when they do, they are often open to giving you copied of their papers and underlying research data. Most journals don't put any restrictions on them for doing so.

In one of my publications, I had to pay an additional $150 just for that article to be open access (and that was over a decade ago. I'm sure it's gone up).
Hmmm, that actually makes much more sense.

Probably, it'd be hard to say for sure. I personally don't take it every day and sometimes just take half of my dosage, to reduce tolerance. There definitely is a tolerance though and also a bit of Yerkes-Dodson law type deal at play, e.g. if I take to much I am also not productive.

I would definitely say it increases my productivity output though overall.
I think NSA is major agent in surveillance. I am frankly more wary about governments and shady national security agencies doing surveillance on citizens than private companies doing it for commercial gains.
That definitely helps my understanding. I hadn't considered the complexities introduced in the recycling stages.

People are bad enough at contaminating the recycling bins as is, unfortunately (including myself if I'm careless).

Are there really only two types? Where does cellulose fall with regard to those? I've definitely seen cellulose food containers. None of them were ever meant for heating food—only for sealing/containing it for extended shelf-life. This includes bagging, not just hard containers.

My expertise lies in automated web scraping of difficult to obtain data, websites with bare bones structures and complex to parse, large scale websites, including those using 'scraping protection' services and sites that simply put - are hard for most to scrape. I use a variety of methods for getting the data and aim to obtain the data as quickly, accurately and efficiently as possible.
Does unsubsidized electricity even exist? Germany doesn't shutdown old coal plants although it can replace them with existing gas plants because the coal plants employ more people. Even Trump is supporting coal merely because it helps coal workers.
To any Cloudflare leadership or staff who are still watching this subthread, I'm sorry I publicly questioned your motives and integrity the way I did. I should have been skeptical without saying that I think your mission is something other than what you say it is. I wouldn't want some random person on the Internet to publicly say, or at least imply, that I'm a liar. So I shouldn't have done that to you. If I could give up the upvotes I got for that comment (and keep the downvotes), I would.

Mind you, I'm still skeptical. I probably won't use Warp on my phone, or Cloudflare on my personal site. But I should have been more careful about how I expressed that skepticism in public. None of us want a world where we all assume the worst in each other without strong evidence. So again, I'm sorry.
There's enough depressed alcoholics in my family that I can't condone using alcohol to cope - self medicating like that is hard to titrate appropriately. The difficulty with options like heroine and alcohol is it's super hard to walk a line where you're not causing harm.

And that's really why you need a medical doctor taking the edge off your symptoms and therapist who helps you deal with the underlying issues themselves. Medicating and go is a terrible, terrible idea.
Outlook for iOS is a pretty good app with most of the good from Inbox if you maintain near-zero inbox. I find myself using that almost all the time now because Gmail is so slow compared to it. I'd rather deal with a mobile keyboard than Gmail.
Two things here:

I also find myself going back to these heavier games time after time. I always convinced myself that casual games allow for quick picking up and putting down just in case something comes up. But at the end, I find myself getting tired or bored. I recently picked up Street Fighter 5 and borrowed an arcade stick from a friend who played competitively. Very easy game to get into with movesets that aren't complicated and short matches, but it's a tough game to master when you factor in combos, frame data, reading opponents, learning character match ups, etc.

I also think the massive Steam library is a symptom of the console market. If you're primarily a console player, your games are almost always $60USD. You might be able to grab a title that's $40 on release, but that's rare. PC players are used to discounts and smaller titles. Sometimes it's really steep discounts like 20% off + all DLC only 6 months after release. I think PC players (myself included) are willing to bite the bullet by spending $30 on a full title that we may play since we are so conditioned on the value of a launch title being $60. Rocket League is a prime example. If Rocket League had been a console only release in 2012, I'm certain it would have cost $60. However, it was released for $20(?) to PC and PS4 by a smaller company.
Does the link have to be directly to the illegal content, or just to a domain that supplies illegal content somewhere on the domain? The SciHub homepage is not itself illegal content.
I wouldn't leave for any realistic amount. 20%, 50%, 100%. Even a x10 wouldn't be enough to make me leave (after that it starts to get really unrealistic, and I don't hypothesize on unrealistic situations).

The other dev in my company won't either, at least not until 100% (we both know he could get that by jumping ship to go to defense/banking jobs that pay at least double our salary).

Why is that? For me, I'm a founder (the other dev is not), and I'm emotionally invested in our company success. The biggest other factor is that we do social good. That's the main reason we are there and will stick there as long as the company runs. Salary is enough to live confortably, and way higher than the minimum wage, so we aren't complaining. The work is interesting as well, and we get to have a good dev culture, focused on making things better. All the people working their are nice.

Finding another company that satisfies all the non-monetary consideration is a crapshot, frankly. I would be very hesitant even if I was not a founder, a lot of things aren't apparent until you are several months in your new contract.
As a non-music example (and please somebody prove me wrong), I cannot find the 1954 movie "So This is Paris", starring Tony Curtis. No copies available anywhere on amazon, ebay, or searching through internet sites. There was a short clip of one of the songs on Youtube a few years ago, but it was taken down for copyright infringement. I simply cannot find it anywhere.
The issue is that publicly traded companies have a duty to shareholders to disclose this data and all companies have to follow antitrust laws. Which is why the SEC is trying to get this data. It’s pretty shady, but you’re right, it is a competitive advantage (breaking antitrust laws or disclosure laws is often advantageous... hence why the laws were written).
> Have we not all learned by now that large media is merely playing for click-bait and sensationalism at this point and can not be trusted?

When are you going to learn that laypeople are not capable of critical thought?
Agreed. I've thought of this as the 24/Jack Bauer line of thought. Torture is illegal and should be- but if you've tried everything else and you're running out of time before the nuke hidden in Los Angeles goes off- break the law and torture the terrorist.

Then- go to the cops after saving the city\failing to save the city and turn yourself in. Accept the consequence for breaking the law. Civil disobedience embraces this- civil rights activists fighting Jim Crow laws were more than happy to get arrested to highlight the injustice/immorality of the law.

Calling pirating content civil disobedience though is disingenuous in my opinion, especially if you have the means to access it the proper way and are using it to access your career. If you want to 'protest' then download it and then send an email to the FBI that you did so and then publicize it.
If we have cheap/free energy, we could just synthesize hydrocarbons instead of digging them out of the ground.

As an imperfect analogy, we used to mine fertilizers. Now we use energy to create ammonia directly from nitrogen in the air.

I was part of a team that used web notifications as an experiment in sending live election results to people's devices:

https://medium.com/the-guardian-mobile-innovation-lab/genera...

It's a pretty fascinating feature set. You can attach images, update the content of an existing notification, attach buttons to perform custom actions, choose to make it silent or not... I think there is more utility than most implementations in the wild would suggest. One fascinating aspect of it for me is that you can do very time limited things (e.g. send election results) - users might be reluctant to download an entire app just for one evening of updates, but being able to send notification through the browser sidesteps that entirely (and more broadly, it puts a useful tool in the hands of people who can't afford native development).

That said, I agree that it's total madness that the default UI allows you to ask for permission on page load. We always had the prompt behind a button on the page and it worked great, so I think Mozilla have the right idea here.
Is this basically why things like Inbox, and the endless attempts at messaging, all come out as seperate products rather than enhancements to existing products, because that way you get to say you launched something new?
That's true, but meth mouth is a particularly shitty side effect.

Yea I saw your design doc. Impressive project. I only questioned it because looking at your YouTube it seemed that you had a history of posting on April 1st. Which, I really appreciate learning how to hack. Now I am getting everything free from Amazon. But don’t tell the CIA
Heyo, I'm a PhD student in the field. I figured I can talk about its current status.

First, here are various search terms: clockless, self-timed, delay-insensitive, latency-insensitive, quasi delay-insensitive (QDI), speed independent, asynchronous, bundled-data

There are a wide variety of clockless circuits that each make their own timing assumptions. QDI is the most paranoid, making the fewest timing assumptions. Bundled-data is the least paranoid (its effectively clock-gating).

A clockless pipeline is always going to be slower than a clocked one and requires about 2x the area. However, clockless logic is way more flexible, letting you avoid unnecessary computation. Overall, this can mean significantly higher throughput and lower energy, but getting those benefits requires very careful design and completely different computer architectures.

Most of the VLSI industry is woefully uneducated in clockless circuit design and the tools are terribly lacking. I've seen many projects go by that make a synchronous architecture clockless, and they have always resulted in worse performance.

What this means is that it would take billions of dollars for current VLSI companies to retool, and doing so would only give them a one-time benefit. So, you probably won't see clockless processors from any of the big-name companies any time soon. What they seem to be doing right now is buying asynchronous start-ups and shutting them down.

As of the 90nm technology node, its not possible to be switching all of the transistors on chip without lighting a fire. This mean that the 2x area requirement is not much of a problem since a well-designed clockless circuit only needs to switch 25-50% of them at any given time. Also since 90nm, switching frequencies seem to have plateaued with a max of around 10 GHz and typical at around 3 GHz. When minimally sized, simple clockless pipelines (WCHB) can get at most 4 GHz and more complex logic tends to get around 2 GHz (for 28nm technology). Leakage current has become more of a problem, but it's a problem for everyone.

There is a horribly dense wikipedia page on QDI, but it has links to a bunch of other resources if you are curious.
Here's a mirror whose URL is more petty-tyrant firewall friendly https://archive.fo/7x6Ui
I agree, but there are less snarky ways to say that.
Wouldn't the answer be a circulation of apples, depending on how many apples we're talking? Half the apples would pile up in a top corner, which'd push some of the apples into the bottom corner instead, making them traverse to the other side of the spaceship.

This is of course ignoring that the spaceship itself might be bumped off-course by the apples or start spinning because of them.
The Alto and Ethernet Software (Butler Lampson, 1986)
>i'm pretty sure an addition/modification of one trait to an existing genetic line doesn't immediately render null-and-void all existing fitness of that line

That's true, but these lab lines generally are inbred for generations on purpose before the disease gene is even added, so even the "normal" lab mice without the disease are quite different than wild mice, and even quite different than other strains of lab mice.

Not really true. Econophysics, which is composed almost entirely of physicists, has not really panned out in any way.

One of the biggest criticisms of economics is faith in complex mathematical models without solid foundations or conserved quantities like in physics. Econophysics doubles down on this. It's not the right direction.
