If you act like everyone is an equal threat, you will go insane and become very antisocial, making it difficult to breed. If you act like no one is a threat, inevitably you will be killed, and will not breed.

If you make a guess at who is or isn’t a possible threat (i.e. by stereotyping), you can reap the benefits of both stances.

I don’t see anything bigoted about that. It is not the same thing.
Rosenburgs were not convicted for treason, but espionage.

The judge convicting them worked along with the prosecutor on the bar to make sure that they got a clean cut, and more easily prosecutable charge of _espionage_ instead of original treason. But yes, his ultimate reason was his personal insecurity about seeing his fellow Jewish American giving the public even more reason to doubt the loyalty of Jewish Americans (given how all things were at the time...)

Excerpt from wiki.

> Kaufman is best remembered as the judge who presided over the espionage trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and imposed their controversial death sentences. Roy Cohn, one of the prosecutors in the case, claimed in his autobiography that his influence led to Kaufman's being appointed to the case, and that Kaufman had imposed the death penalty on Cohn's personal advice. This claim has not been verified, although it has been shown that after Kaufman learned that the FBI and Justice Department opposed death penalties in the case, he asked the prosecution to withhold its recommendation before issuing his death sentence. In his summing up Judge Irving Kaufman was considered by many to have been highly subjective: "Judge Kaufman tied the crimes the Rosenbergs were being accused of to their ideas and the fact that they were sympathetic to the Soviet Union. He stated that they had given the atomic bomb to the Russians, which had triggered Communist aggression in Korea resulting in over 50,000 American casualties. He added that, because of their treason, the Soviet Union was threatening America with an atomic attack and this made it necessary for the United States to spend enormous amounts of money to build underground bomb shelters." [5] Kaufman said that he had gone to synagogue to pray before issuing his death sentence; this enraged Supreme Court justice Felix Frankfurter, who later wrote to judge Learned Hand, "I despise a judge who feels God told him to impose a death sentence," and also told Hand that he was "mean enough" to stay on the court long enough to prevent Kaufman from having a chance to take Frankfurter's place in the so-called "Jewish seat" on the Court.[4][6]

> Right now the self driving tech doesn't do anything to communicate with the driver besides just a general warning.

I think this probably fails to understand how quickly it's making decisions, how quickly the situation could change, or how it could even judge it's own confidence. It could quite confidently drive you into a river; it's not likely to do that unless it's pretty sure it's a road.

As self-driving technology gets better, the robot is going to be much better and the failure situations much more rare.

> I just don't get this mindset. There are different levels of "paying attention" that require different levels of mental energy.

If one doesn't have to provide direction or speed, there is literally nothing to keep a human attentive enough to make a difference. You expect someone to passively look at a green/red/yellow indicator for hours at a time while not otherwise engaged with driving? And then when that indicator turns red you expect them to immediately be able to make a useful judgement? I think humans are more than likely to make that situation worse!

> The discussion also isn't made with nearly any other driver assist technology. No one suggests that automatic transmissions or cruise control are worthless because the driver still has to pay attention.

There is a huge difference. If you have cruise control or automatic transmission, the vehicle still doesn't go where it's supposed to without you paying attention. The driver still has to pay attention because they have to pay attention or they don't anywhere. With self driving cars, the driver is now a passenger and doesn't have to pay attention for the vehicle to work.

You can find many sources complaining about this in the US, yes. Real estate speculation, etc. People aren't happy about it, so that description is not unreasonable. Some cities are trying to pass laws to address it (not that those laws seem to work).

The density of construction matters a lot here too. Many US cities like the ones you mention were not planned out and are subject to sprawl.
Such a boring release. That's why I love Rust.
Just want to point out how appropriate this reply was on many levels. The core article was about privacy and using w3m overcomes most intrusions. The presentation on the site is apparently awful, but w3m removes all that and distills the page to text. As a developer I use w3m (and previously lynx) for all these reasons, but also as a first-pass proxy for more exhaustive accessibility checks. I guess what this makes me think about, is, for the moment, while we still have access to general purpose computers, we do still have a choice in how we consume what we are forcefed. Maybe if we exercise it enough, we'll get to keep that choice. Maybe not. Worth a try.

On-street parking isn't limited to property owners. Anyone can use it.

And no, not everyone can make the choice to use it. There simply isn't enough space, and if everyone drove then traffic would be horrendous. In Manhattan only 1 in 5 people even own cars, for example, and yet on-street parking is always completely full everywhere. So it doesn't make sense to offer it for free given that most people cannot use it. People who don't use it should not be paying for it and people who do use it should be paying their fair share.
Bastards! If they do anything to this global hero, many unpredictable today things will happen and none good for those who don't like the Truth!
I'm Swiss and agree.
I really appreciate the mental model expressed here: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2018/2/15/how-to-turn-a-...

The TL;DR is that a street is in a dense area that's slow speed and welcoming to all forms of transit, A road gets cars at a fast speed from point A to point B, and a "stroad" is the worst of both worlds and a common anti-pattern in many sprawly areas.

I don't know where you live. But if you were in the US then pretty much all of the land is unpopulated and quiet (except maybe for agriculture purposes but still).

What you are looking for is city infrastructure with green scenery. That's possible but the price tag is going to be astronomical. You'd have to provide everything yourself (Water, Electricity, Gas, Food, etc...) Try that and you'll find out what you prefer living close to a city.
I've seen some of the massive empty developments myself. Not the city written about here.
Kids definitely can and do cook for themselves? I've also known families who would make and freeze dinners for the week so the kids just had to reheat them on weekdays. Or one parent gets home earlier and has dinner with the kids, but the other one will be later.
The Cambridge Analytica scandal was super interesting to me because it reflected an entirely standard and unremarkable data-collection process that I'd seen several times. And yet it filled international headlines. Congress was interested.

It's easy to do. You create some app that has "login with Facebook". That's great for users, right? One less password for them to remember. Then as soon as they log in you make a quick call to the Facebook API, get all their friends, and dump it in some database table.

Even if only a few people log in to your app, you can get a database of thousands of real people.

I don't work for that type of company anymore, but I've been many places where that was bog standard, the very first code you write for a new product.

Does anyone know if the Facebook API has changed now?
Unless you care about your job, your career, your reputation, your personal safety and that of your loved ones. In that case you should make sure you only target approved groups.
The dirty secret of government contracts is that most firms, no matter how good their tech and implementations are, couldn't win the contracts because they don't understand government procurement well enough. This leads to the same companies winning contracts over and over again just because they know how to win the bids, and not because their solutions or prices make sense. Many big contacting and consulting firms are really just experts in the procurement process.

This then leads into third parties acting as procurement contractors, where their only job is to win government contracts for others.

There are other middlemen taxes like this. Ever seen a proposal that says that it must go to a small business or a certain percentage of the award must go to a small business? Just find a small business to bid on the contract, take their cut, and then sell your product as the solution.

Government procurement is a dark place.
Right. Phrasing it as "my data" shows that they don't own my information. Instead, I own it, but they have it, and it is their responsibility to take care of it. They are responsible if something happens to my data that I don't want to happen (sold to spammers; leaked by hacking). The best course of action for them is to take as little as possible and then forget the information when it is no longer useful, to minimize their risk. This is exactly what I want to happen.
The phones? Definitely. I am not using my phone for more than internet surfing, reading the occasional PDF and messaging. Why would I pay 1000€ for a phone then.

The laptops: I could imagine buying one in the future. Linux has its warts and I am very accustomed to developing on Unix these days. But the current line seems to have problems and the touch bar would have to go.

Not meaning to disagree but I want to know what are your suggestions regarding how to combat extremist viewpoints that seriously advocate for genocide (what I assume would get one labeled a nazi). Do you have evidence of nonviolent alternatives that work?

(Again: I'm not saying that violence is the only answer- I genuinely am seeking evidence otherwise as I abhor violence.)
Che Guevara killed many people. He was a warlord. Assange uncovered a vast amount of actual crimes. Criminals were held accountable through his leaks. Your comparison is complete nonsense.
Most of the US doesn't have protected bike lanes, but that's what we're talking about here. I'm talking about my experience with one of the better protected bike lane setups in the US, and the advantages it grants.

Test them in the sense of thinking it through by working through the cases, it's more to help internalize the idea.

And writing things down is forcing my mind to serialize and deserialize ideas, and I think that helps the process.

(I'm not actually doing this often for Java generics, but I've been working on some other type theory stuff and I found it helped me get beyond "I understand this" to "I now feel relatively fluent expressing these ideas.")
That is no excuse for making cities louder than they need to be.

My comment about cost isn't a gripe, just an observation about their business model. It takes real belief in your product to charge that much for writing, when we're so used to getting it for free.

The solution would be to detect attempts at cutting you off and automatically close the gap momentarily to discourage this behavior.

Ideally your autonomous car would also take part in the community of tailgaters and communicate forward that the current speed is unacceptable if this is the consensus of several tailgating vehicles, and gently reduce distance in a controlled way until the car in front gives in and speeds up or yields.
For whatever reason the companies I've worked for have footed the bills to buy MBP's. The last one that I think had the best value were the 2015 MBP's. The ones with the Touchbar do not give me enough value for the price (I would have paid).

Without cooperation of the device, that is indistinguishable from that of a bad actor.

You can get what you want by owning the device and requiring it to cooperate (ie with controlled software or a certificate to allow monitoring / blocking).
> Science first, but the biggest economic driver will be tourism and sports.

Tourism for a couple of ultra-rich, yeah, but sports? Need massive structures for that one.

I rather believe that Moon commercial usage will be dominated by resource gathering: mining for rare materials deposited by aeons of asteroid hits, helium-3 (assuming the Moon Nazis from Iron Sky left us anything), or anything that can be chemically converted to rocket fuels in order to provide efficient fueling options for Mars and beyond missions.

Like most studies on the value of supplements, it was solely focused on whether the minerals "extend life" or "prevent cardiovascular disease." The research on that has been well settled that supplements do neither, so this study was just a waste of time and money.

First, structural, flaw in the study: its actually just a statistical analysis of another study...which was based on self-reporting of diets and exercise habits.

Second, fatal, flaw in the study: they actually found a positive correlation between supplements and health...until they "adjusted" for demographic data and activity levels. In other words, they p-hacked until they found the result they wanted. The big problem? They filtered out everyone who uses supplements because they derive health benefits from using them. Obviously, once you filter out all the people who benefit from supplements you're left with the people who didn't...

Supplements do have benefits with respect to addressing nutrition deficiencies related to diet, which is the whole point of using supplements in the first place. And that's the reason that people with higher incomes and activity levels use them...

All in all, this is just another case of bad science issued by researchers needing more grant money (or tenure) and being promulgated by the media .
I was a devoted Macintosh user from 1985 onward, but it's been six or seven years since I last bought an Apple product. Apple seems to have become increasingly particular about the kind of experience they want you to have when you use their equipment, and it doesn't appeal to me; it's pretty, to be sure, but it's too paternalistic. I'd rather be left alone to do things the way I feel like doing them.

The MacBook Pro I use at work is nice enough, though I feel more of an eye-rolling irritation with its high-tech touch bar, paper-thin keyboard, and USB-C-only design than the sense of futuristic delight Apple must have been hoping for. I cannot see anything about it which comes close to justifying its $2800 price tag, and I would never consider buying one for myself.

Hardware performance outran my day-to-day needs a long time ago, so I am perfectly content with a $300-$400 second-hand laptop and a $250 phone. I have learned to take a sort of contrarian delight in the humble, rugged utilitarianism of a ThinkPad, and I recently got a phone with a QWERTY keyboard, because I'm tired of typing on glass and fighting with autocorrect. It's probably a good thing for the world that Apple keeps pushing the frontier of design forward, but I don't need to be along for that ride myself.

Definitely. There's so much money to be made here in ticketing and towing people that are parking illegally. You would easily pay the salaries of the people doing it and then also send a lot more revenue back to the general treasury.

It always astounds me that they don't have more enforcement agents out there. On my 10 minute bike ride I routinely see at least one ticketable infraction per minute. Hell, give me a ticket book (and a percentage cut for my trouble) and I'll gladly go earn ticket revenue for the city myself.

> the Max was grounded without any clear technical understanding. As such, there is no clear technical path to follow in order to restore it to flying.

This is interesting and not being discussed enough. Those planes were all grounded because it's known that in a short space of time 2 have crashed (and a 3rd one didn't because there was an extra pilot who got some insights and knew what to do). But it's not known if all had the same problems.And with all discussion if the 737Max design was stretched too much while avoiding new training or certification, it won't be easy to Boeing to make people confident again that there are no more "new features" hidden somewhere.

We need better road pricing mechanisms for electric vehicles. If roads can no longer be funded at least by fuel taxes, that leaves an immediate revenue shortfall. Simply increasing registration fees does not consider variable levels and times of car use.

Ideally we would have an open standard used by all vehicles to communicate position in real time to the Government. This could be used for road pricing and integrated into the display panel of the vehicle.

> Note that bicyclists and skateboarders also slow down busses, which are what lower income people use to get around.

Bicyclists are substantially faster than downtown buses (due to stop frequency). It seems unlikely that they are slowing down the buses very much. Push skateboarders use the sidewalk; electric skateboarders move at the same speed as bicyclists.
If your elderly or disabled. Although if you that level of elderly, you might not be able to use a car either, and the disabled often have motorized wheelchairs that could go as fast as bikes.

For people who say 'but the disabled need cars', I want to offer some ancedata: I know a retired couple that bought a house in SF years ago because they wanted a working transit system when they can't drive cars anymore.

> I used an early form of autopilot and you quickly started to pay attention to where the system would fail. It was like cruse control where you look for situations where you can turn it on but never stop paying attention.

You may do this, but I bet the majority of people do not. I know that Google has data about it's self-driving cars that they know their "safety drivers" simply don't pay attention. In Uber's case - here in the Phoenix area last year - this inattention helped to cause an arguably avoidable fatal accident. These were people supposedly trained not to do this - yet they did.

As far as cruise control is concerned - there've been more than a few accidents of people thinking it did more than it does, and not pay attention to the road in front of them. Tesla's autopilot system, while better than simple cruise control, has - because of this better system (and poor marketing) - caused people to think it does more than it can, and has led them to sleeping in their vehicles while it "drove", to being completely inattentive, etc.

It is pretty well known at this point that those "middle levels" of self-driving technologies are things that shouldn't be implemented, because people either misunderstand them, or misuse them, leading to often fatal accidents.
Another thought occurred to me, can free speech survive speech that attacks free speech?

Free Speech does just fine against other speech. It's administrative dirty tricks on campus, and the use of corporate force through de-platforming which creates a de facto regime of top-down censorship -- which we have to worry about in 2019. Noam Chomsky called such behavior out in the 80's in the media of the day. Such behavior fits the "propaganda model" described in Manufacturing Consent.

In 2019, it's not the government we have to worry about in terms of free speech. It's powerful corporations and the established media misinforming people and stacking the deck.
