"Ideological and eventual practical problems too" is way too general.

The very specific flash-point was Linus throwing an unjustified hissy-fit defending Larry McVoy of BitKeeper being difficult about Andrew Tridgel (Tridge of Samba fame) "reverse engineering" the data traffic of Bitkeeper for inter-operability (really just sniffing client packets with wireshark or something).

Whether the name "git" pertains to Tridge or Linus himself who in retrospect decided he acted like a spoiled brat is still not known :)

My prior reading contradicts this idea.

It's my understanding that humans, being bipedal rather than quadrupedal, are more efficient runners[0]. Quadrupeds have the advantage over short distances [like dwarves, they are natural sprinters [1]], but their metabolism is not suited to endurance running. They lack sweat glands necessary to cool their bodies over long periods of exertion as well.

There are hypotheses of early humans hunting by purely chasing down their prey during the hottest part of the day and into hyperthermia.[2]

I'll but add my own anecdata: Here in the mountain west, the gymkhanas at the county fairs are almost exclusively female riders. In the last decade or so of various county fairs, I've only seen three males total to the hundreds of female riders.

That said, the girls are very good.

Isn't the real problem with using EVs for long distance travel the charging time, though? My petrol engine car has finite range as well, but if I'm running low, I can easily find somewhere to fill up and it takes less than five minutes. If you have an EV, how easy is it to find a charging station, and how long does it take to recharge? Some of these practical issues still seem to be a long way from being solved, and until they are, pure EVs seem to have more potential for reducing emissions locally in congested urban areas than as long distance transportation.

Honestly, though, speaking as someone who had to use things made by military contractors, having people who object to the military working on them seems like a recipe for disaster.

But that's a pretty small slice of Google's business.

> Working for a company while using it as a staging ground for a coup against it is unacceptable.

So what does unacceptable mean?

Historically, coups like this happen to organizations all the time, to the point where conservatives consider it a fact of life.[1][2] It may be unacceptable now, but they'll just keep at it until their view becomes orthodoxy; it's more or less the point of liberalism. I'm also skeptical that the people in senior positions are that far from them ideologically; they simply have legal obligations to shareholders.

Another notion of acceptability is whether a coup sinks the company in the meantime. But it's a risk either way, unless the complaints are entirely without merit, and that seems unlikely.

Let's say Googlers who dispute this did quietly leave over these issues as you suggest. Google's incentives are structured perversely, the "user as product" business model is just ethically dysfunctional. Losing people who act as a check on bad behavior can thus compound these problems over time. If people then decide they've had enough (buoyed by a string of complaints from ex-Googlers) and go to Congress, that can also effectively sink the company.

Don't get me wrong, I bike too. I also have little faith that this sort of system will be implemented effectively and transparently. I also don't think it should be legal in the first place to gather this kind of data without informed consent (no, TOS doesn't count). There's so much going on in industry that an IRB wouldn't touch, and that's where I think we need more regulation.

(I also think we need change-lanes-to-pass bills, better bike infrastructure, more regulation on car infotainment systems, and GOOD approaches to punishing and preventing distracted driving).

This recent trend of calling everything addictive and normalizing this misuse is not only stupid but also dangerous to society at large. Addiction is a serious thing with a well defined meaning. By applying it to things that are just actually rewarding, as opposed to things that hijack the reward system via direct manipulation to skew responses to predicted reward, it creates a perception of danger.

This perception of danger then allows for the conversation about real issues that need solutions (usually education) to bottom out and begin calls for the use of government violence to prevent people from doing what they want. Encouraging the use of force against people who haven't done any violence or fraud themselves is a very bad thing.

The circumstances have to justify it. Misuse of the word addiction helps that false justification.

Why is this a problem? I don't mess with my phone while I'm driving, but if I'm sitting at a light for a minute or two, I'll take a peek if, say, a text message came in while I was moving, just to make sure it isn't something important from my wife or daughter.

Looks like the type tells you which HTTP status codes are possible from a given route, so that e.g. a route that can return only 200 or 403 is a different type from a route that could return 302. Which makes a lot of sense, because certain transformations / routing directives that you might want to do only make sense for particular HTTP status codes.

For the recent generations, with some limited exceptions, it pretty much is.

The early named ones were based around major social/economic issues that influenced them as they grew up - WWI, Great Depression, WWII - and then Baby Boomers created a sort of wave pattern in the population that made for easy groupings into the future.

That wave pattern has since become much flatter, if not disappeared completely, but the idea is pretty appealing so it persists. You will occasionally see it start to break down though, for example with "Millennial" being split into young and old.

How do they have their surveillance tech on so many phones? Do people know that's what's going on?
The requirement would probably be sandboxing without access to the rest of the machine, since that's what they've allowed for previous "programming toy" releases. SmileBASIC has full programming capability aside from direct hardware and network access, including comprehensive control of rendering and importing/exporting programs (http://smilebasic.com/en/).
Over a certain age, yes, probably starting at high school. Sex ed and history classes should go over LGBT stuff and teachers/guidance counselors are supposed to be avenues for getting help for abuse, not that these two things work out right all the time in practice.
Frankly I don't believe in enough people changing their behavior to make any difference.

Past experience shows that the stable door only gets locked after the horse has bolted, in other words things will need to get worse before action will be taken.

And I believe even then only science, innovation and entrepreneurship (read: private initiatives) will save us.

In the future mankind will need to be more adaptable to climate change because changes will keep happening just like it always has been.

“California stop” is already a reserved term that means something else (slowing down mostly, but not all the way, at a stop sign).

When used for typesetting the Latin was intentionally scrambled, so even someone familiar with Classic Latin should find it more gibberish than not. For instance the `lorem` itself was most likely a chopped part of a longer word (dolorem).

My phone already does that (well, the prompt at least, if not the legal warning). I bet it does little to deter someone who has decided they have some legitimate reason to look at their phone. Effectively it just adds another step so the distraction lasts even longer.

Do you think the reasons most people don't express opinions like the ones notch has expressed recently is due to a fear of backlash over being considered 'un-PC' as opposed to not actually holding those opinions? This rhetoric plays into a common theme among extremists which is quite dangerous: "Everyone actually thinks the same way I do, they are just afraid to say it".
Can you clarify the flow that doesn't involve github and also doesn't involve mailing lists?
That's one take, but I can't agree with that. For one thing, what if it isn't a legacy you want to honor? Seeing comments from your dead abuser's account on facebook isn't something most people want.

Death is complex and people/cultures have all sorts of different feelings on it. I don't want to get text messages from my dead sister or emails from my dead grandfather. It's creepy and weird and unsettling (even if just for that split second or two before you figure out wtf is happening).

Hard pass.
Earnest question--what is the non-perjorative word? "Progressive" is the closest I've found. I genuinely want to debate ideas, but I'm not sure what the most precise term is.
heads up - a "California stop" is a driver rolling through a stop sign or red light. this is much different than an "Idaho stop", which is due to bicyclists in Idaho being allowed to treat stop signs as yield signs, and red lights as stop signs (now legal in Delaware as well).

not sure what the common nomenclature of what you described is though.
GitHub could support this workflow - they would need to find a way to integrate patches into GitHub Pull Requests.

One way to do it would be an "upload patch" option on others' repositories, where GitHub forks the repository for you under the hood, possibly creates a branch for you, and applies your patches linearly to that branch. It opens a pull request to the targeted branch of the upstream repository from your branch. Then when the pull request is closed, it cleans things up for you (temporary branch, fork) under the hood, if desired.
They say capitalists will sell you the rope to hang them with. But programmers do not understand business, so instead of selling ropes they made their own hanging ropes and freely shared them with everyone for a nice communal hanging.

Anyone can express their beliefs within reason (the US courts have put some limits on what falls under the first amendment, of course) - you just can’t be surprised when there are consequences for your public expression.

Notch obviously doesn’t care what people think of him anymore, that’s not something I personally feel we should be applauding. It’s one thing if you’re using “fuck you money” to speak against the status quo, it’s another to just be a bigoted jerk on Twitter.
Have you ever actually tried to run early iOS apps on iOS 10?

I have. I had an iPod Touch for a couple of years as a teenager, but then left iOS until I got an iPhone in college. Once I had the iPhone, I decided to go through my purchase history and re-download the apps I'd used on my iPod, for nostalgia's sake if nothing else.

To my dismay, exceedingly few of the old apps worked, and most of those that did had major graphical glitches. (Not including apps which had been updated by the developer more recently, of course.)
I have read several books that would argue that our biology specifically predisposes us to not be monogamous, especially when it comes to child rearing. Sex at Dawn and Sapiens are two examples. The latter makes a weaker case for it, but it equally rejects that we are biologically monogamous. The author there argues that best we can tell, when we were still evolving to be what we are today, there were tribes that practices essentially polyamory and group parenting, and there were more monogamy-centered ones, leading to the conclusion that we do have a choice in the matter. Bonobos, great apes closer to us than Chimps, are non-monogamous to a fault. I have two children that are a result of a non-monogamous relationship, and yes, it was definitely easier to have the extra hands and extra resources during their first few years.

While anecdata, I will also bring up the example of my 80 year old grandfather. When he was in his 60s, my grandmother suddenly died. A few years later he reconnected with an old friend, and they developed a romantic relationship, and are married and still together. They are some of the most co-dependent people I know. Happy, it seems, but co-dependent. I think co-dependence doesn't just afflict young people.
Interestingly enough, personality traits are pretty much solidified by age 7[0]. That suggests that 7 years old is not an arbitrary number in this study.

> As an example, if you have 250,000 images and videos, your library metadata and previews will consume about a half a terabyte.

I assume this is mostly from the preview image size and not meta data? This is where I was hoping for a configurable image size because I would be willing to have smaller previews to be able to store more metadata.

If the goal is to archive my entire life's photos or even use it for business use then at some point it looks like I would need a dedicated drive / computer just to view the photos on the other drives. If it is configurable then I could push this limitation further.
I wish the journalist had asked more about this seemingly alarming statistic:

"Zendrive now has its monitoring technology on 60 million phones, roughly one of every four U.S. drivers"

For example:
How did this "monitoring technology" get on 60M phones? Do the owners know it's there? Is it hidden in other apps? Is there clear disclosure of its existence in those apps? What is done with this data? Who has access? Is it anonymized? Is it sold to third parties? Is it used for advertising or other non-safety-related purposes? How do they distinguish between drivers and passengers? What do they do about COPPA if it's on the phone of an under-13-year-old? Etc.
Yeah, that's the only thing I don't like about this proposal. Just seems so fragile.

It's funny that the NYT headline is "As Rents Rise, Artists Are Reviving the Idea of the Medieval Guild," as one of the primary functions of the medieval guild was rent-seeking.

I would like to add my 2 cents here :

1. If you want to do something but not able to do anything about it, maybe its not something you "want" to do. It's like swimming against the tide, it'll always be hard. So, instead find something you "want" to do. For ex: deep down you might enjoy painting, but looking at an article on how some programmer made millions by selling his startup, you might be tempted to try your hand at coding. But no matter how much you motivate yourself, your mind will continue to resist when the implementation phase comes, as, deep down, that's not what you are interested in.

2. When you start a project, don't spend too much of time on planning/research. Any project you start, try to finish atleast the most important parts of it while your initial enthusiasm lasts. If you spend most of your initial enthusiasm on planning/research and other stuff, you'll have little energy left for implementation. Start and course correct along the way.

Well, when I'm behind someone fiddling with their phone and it takes them an extra five seconds to start moving (and only because I beeped my horn to prompt them to look up), I think it's a problem. We're all trying to get to our destinations safely and quickly. This means traffic has to flow, or we all sit around longer getting more aggravated about it.
I agree with you. On the other hand, what if someone wants an awful DRM'ed bullshit? Seems like poor form to purposefully bait-and-switch them. If, say, my Yubikey had some secret dance move that allowed people to read the private key from it, I'd be pretty miffed.

The typical level of sensitivity is absolutely in range for a single unit to produce a catastrophic event.

It sounds like you may have a low sensitivity factor. The usual starting point for estimating this, along with using the "1800 rule", puts typical sensitivity around a drop of 50 points in blood sugar for every unit of insulin. This based on a weight around 65-70 kilos and 0.5 units/day/kilo.

Of course it depends on other details too, even time of day. (My wife, who uses a medtronic pump, clocks in at right about this level but is less sensitive in mornings and more so later on. her pump is programmed for these time-dependent sensitivity fluctuations )

This level of sensitivity absolutely has lethal potential with a single-unit swing. If you're in the low end of normal at 75 points and take another unit dropping it to 25, this is plenty low to cause a person to pass out and thereby be unable to take corrective action, with lethal consequences, especially if the pump is still delivering a basal dose inching levels even lower.

You might argue that careful people shouldn't encounter this situation, and you'd be right. But it still can and does happen, meaning a hobbyist setup that gets something even a little bit wrong has that same potential.
I believe its because of what some of the above commenters discussed: that some drivers believe not only do they have a "right" to the lane, but its their job to enforce the speed limit.
While I like the concept of maker spaces, they vary so much from space to space.

The space nearest to me was started by people whose primary interest is Burning man. I toured the shop and it was... chaotic at best. They reconfigured the shop to focus on whatever contraption they were planning for next years show. They seemed to say whatever they could to potential paying customers just to collect their money and keep the shop running. They cut some serious corners on safety and I don't think I could have accomplished the tasks that I set out to do had a gone down the maker space route.

I realize that other shops might be different.
