I live in Tokyo, and you'll get the occasional strong whiff of sewage that's worse than anything I've ever smelled in NYC. There are also quite a few public bathrooms that don't have hand soap and some of them you'd be better off not using. I think that the Japanese discipline to not litter coupled with the overstaffed garbage disposal workforce is what keeps the city clean, at least visually.
If that's what you're describing, you've described exactly how AMP works today (though AMP goes one step further and prerenders above the fold, making it instant instead of merely fast).
Hmm, so is the critical rate 22,5 then for between 20 and 25.
Construction is bad for you health.

Men die all the time building houses.

We don't live in Utopia. If for academia to work people get hurt then so be it.

Make an argument you can increase health and keep output the same and then maybe people should take you seriously.

But it's not making it.

What's the sucide or workplace injury rate compared to blue collar work to build a wall? Or are blue collar lives worth less or walls more important?
Pretty much any shared hosting service (which is the default for a small business not going for a more handheld hosted solution like Squarespace or Shopify) is cPanel enabled with PHP, MySQL (via phpMyAdmin), one-click Wordpress installation, and other similar features.
Steer him to /r/msp or to Karl Palachuk's books.

If his prices are that low he could likely increase by 25% or more and not lose any clients - and even if he did lose some odds are good that they'd be his cheapest and worst ones.

If you double your rates and lose half your customers, congratulations! Now you have the same revenue plus available time to go find more customers fine with the higher rate.
If you would like to pick the strongest cases from the list I'd be more than willing to poke holes in them. I skimmed through the wikipedia article and your other link, there was a lot of here-say, some things that may not be PC by today's standards, and some outright falsehoods. I did not see any racism though.

He had a black girlfriend, his son-in-law is Jewish. I really don't see how he can be racist. I think people may mistake his abrasive personality for racism, but when you're targeting individuals and not a race, it's not racism.
Interestingly enough there is also evidence, that a government structure with much smaller parts (decentralization) is even more inefficent, and especially prone to corruption.

Why is that? Did you make the mistake of teaching them to code?
I only skimmed the code, but when it's encrypted, is the only key/input that iv that you've got in the source there?
I don't think it's as much an outrage thing as it is a control thing.

Sure, cars are unsafe and thousands of people die on the roads every year, but I am a good driver and I won't have a bad accident like that. If I do it's my own fault.

Yes, eating too much is bad for me but it's my own fault - I could just eat less.

(side note - if I believe it would be my fault if I die of something, I'm going to believe if you die of that thing it's your fault)

Kids getting shot at school - not their fault and there is nothing they could do to avoid it.

Being blown up by a terrorist's bomb? Nothing you could do as an individual to avoid it.
Lots of scientists have looked for evidence of multiple origins of life, but so far no evidence has turned up. Every organism found so far fits on a tree of life using a common set of genetic molecules.

It would be an amazing discovery to find a second tree of life though!
Tokyo court orders car owner to pay NHK fee
The earth doesn't travel the same course each year. It's chaotic.

Best to define a second as a certain distance light travels in a vacuum and use that to build minutes, hours, etc. Then, have a fixed geo reference point (like, say, geo 0:0) that holds an atomic clock as a main reference.

We are only really talking about local coordinate changes in the time dimension, really, so might as well simplify.
I quite like this defense-in-depth approach, but it's disappointing that it will only be available as part of the probably expensive GKE Advanced. I would have thought safety features should be standard..
US prison sentences are ridiculously long in general.

In principle the key word is supposed to be "up to", the judge is supposed to use their discretion.

In practice, it's used as a lever to force plea deals. If you waste the government's time and money with a trial, you probably still won't win, but now you will be doing up to 20 years. Sign here and spare us the trial and you'll get 5 years.

Of course then you have the people who are truly innocent but are forced to plea out anyway at threat of spending a significant chunk of their lives in jail...

There is also the view that extreme prison sentences are supposed to be a deterrent and thus are unfair by nature. If know you are at risk of spending 20 years in jail, you won't do the crime. Of course in many cases criminals do not really consider the risk of getting caught, and likely wouldn't know the exact penalties for a given crime anyway...
fyi, I think age has a lot to do with it. my kids were 8 and 6 before they started playing outside (0.83 acres) no neighborhood kids to speak of.

‘Request a Woman Scientist’ Has Recruited 10k Researchers
Some people like to use the term "far-left" to mean "far-left of me", without acknowledging that they're nowhere near the center themselves.
You can get a pair of Ascend Sierra towers for ~$2k. From an objective measurement standpoint you won't find anything substantially better than these at any price point.
Why is that a mistake?
So when we convert Unix time to Y-m-d format, are those conversion algorithms aware of the leap seconds?

Is it hard coded in there somewhere?
My kids are about a year behind yours, but are quite adventurous despite growing up in the city. My parents live at the edge of the metropolis and have a similar sized property with forest and stream and a small lake. It’s quite often that the older two simply vanish on a nice afternoon at grandparents. What’s disturbing is my own panic at not knowing where they are when they’ve gone off exploring the same land that I did as a child.
Apple fought the US government. Why can't Huawei fight theirs? Oh, right... They will be executed if they do.
Perhaps you could show them what they're missing out on. Have you been able to talk them into camping yet? With 100 acres and a creek you've got to have a couple of nice spots.
Such a thing would be outmatched in the competition for resources. It's probably much harder for new life to form when there's already existing life around to take whatever materials are required for life to exist.

If life coming to be is already rare enough that we don't see any evidence of it elsewhere in the universe, how much more rare should one expect for it to be under these circumstances?
The concept of a micromort [0] argues that people often to put a value on their life, at least probabilisticly.

Valueing life is also not unique to western civilization. Yes, it values individualism highly, but confucian values are also highly concerned with humaneness and the value of life.

They have their own chips. I don't think they have to be worried like ZTE.
There is good evidence that the rubber "safety" matting that's common on new playgrounds causes significantly more long-bone injuries (broken arms and legs) than previous surfaces like wood chips. Kids test the limits and play up to the point of pain, so they'll leap off structures onto rubber matting in a way that they wouldn't do onto wood chips or pea gravel. In the name of "safety", we're using surfaces that prevent scrapes and road rash, but have higher risk of more significant injuries when you account for the change in kid behavior.
I think either way control plane is free now?
It will be interesting how the unintended consequences roll out with this.

With Chinese companies already having Google free software/service stacks in China, being able to get adoption of those stacks internationally may allow the full bifurcation of the Android ecosystem, essentially eviscerating Google’s monopoly.

Long term it could be a turning point to deflating American dominance of the most important market in the modern world.
I would say, that PHP faired through time much better than Perl.

May be is Facebook's investment in the platform, may be it is wordpress , the PHP's 'killer app'.

I invested into building a system in PHP in 2010 (and using ignite as framework), when opportunity came to redo it, recently , I picked Java (besides type safety, I also had to build a client as an Android app, so sharing classes across both was another reason for Java).

I would also say that 'health' of a particular language+ecosystem should be measured by 6 variables.

1) new project uptake (OSS) -- eg how many new projects are created using particular language.

2) existing project updates frequency (OSS)

3) leavers (how many projects leave this ecosystem)

and same for non-OSS projects (where this can be measured)
Does being tough on crime deter crime?
That would be USA. Nothing much is happening on the federal level, because of the deadlock there. But there's plenty of new legislation on state level.
If not religion, then something else. Whether it's ethnic violence, like the Rwandan genocide or the Balkans; political violence, like the Vietnam war or the Great Leap Forward in China (plus the Chinese civil war); for money, such as the Belgians in the Congo.
Didn't they do this with ZTE also? As I recall the issue was resolved when ZTE paid a fine and promised to change board members and leadership?
Could the same happen with Huawei?
I suggest we can only have 640 kilobytes of law before a garbage collection event.
Perhaps I don't fully understand the reasoning that went into these things when they were decided, but I think the following would be more sane:

- Hardware clocks track Terrestrial Time, and TT is used for timestamps and all timekeeping that doesn't care about where exactly on the planet you are

- Leap seconds are treated as part of the timezone data. UTC is treated as just another timezone, with the appropriate leap second offset given by the timezone data for that date and time

- NTP keeps hardware clocks synchronized to TT and also carries updates to timezone data (including leap seconds)

This doesn't solve the problem of hardware clocks jumping backwards or forwards in time - hardware clocks can drift or be misset etc. and be updated - but I can't help but thinking that much of the pain around time and timezones is caused by basing our timekeeping on UTC rather than TT.
Storyscript: String together microservices and functions in a serverless way
Honestly nobody uses the SPL. PHP's array type is more than powerful enough for the vast majority of data structure tasks and the standard library has functions for treating it as a stack, a list, etc.

Coroutines are not necessary in PHP. In fact, the share nothing architecture of the LAMP stack is one of it's advantages if that suits your needs.

The setup of a Java web stack alone is painful enough to make PHP a viable option in comparison.
>Also, the president does not have the authority to start a war; that is delagated to congress. Of course, by that standard the US hasn't had a war since WWII

There’s a lot to unpack there, from congressional abdication of their responsibility of oversight to the changing nature of warfare.

But I would note that congress hasn’t entirely abdicated its oversight role in declaring war, modern congresses pass an “Authorization for Use of Military Force”, or the AUMF as it’s called, to find and detail their approval for military action.
This reminds me of the announcement that Google will let u delete your history.

Yeh, right, when pigs fly. Your history powers their "AI". Aint no unlearning that.
Thankfully there are search engines that do that for you, like shodan.
lol they don't even have https
All of us are making assumptions about how much testing Tesla does internally before deploying a feature to customer cars. I think it's way more than the equivalent of "3 test patients", but from the outside of course there's no way to know.

From the linked tweet, there's no way to evaluate how unusual the failure case was. And of course we don't know how likely it was to have been a pedal misapplication. We do know that that's not uncommon, though.

The original comment I replied to assumed that there was no internal testing, and you're assuming there was very little internal testing. Both of you are jumping to that conclusion with very little support.
I think it would be great if China accomplished some major software and hardware innovations.
I had a longer reply to this but lost it.

There's some significant security concerns with this (I start claiming to cache the pornhub css file), it's not at all clear how it works when you have other caches (if Bing refers me, how do I decide to use bings cached version of my asset vs Google's). I guess you might mean that google can cache something as my site, but I'm pretty sure that would also allow me to maliciously overwrite Google's js in your cache.

And it still has the latency issues: to connect to your site I now have to establish an initial https connection and load the main html page. That's significantly more than 0 latency.
China is the perfect example of where people are making their own guns, they aren’t that great and lack economy of scale. Besides, China has a death penalty in place for illegal gun production.

Guns will wear out eventually, heck, they can also run out of ammunition. Industrialization is an incredible enabler for gun use (one the founding fathers obviously didn’t have to worry about), and taking that away causes the system of mass gun violence to fall over quickly.

Simply taking 11 million units of production offline will make guns much more expensive worldwide, let alone in the USA. That crazy person who has an idea to go shoot up a school will have to find some money to pay up if they don’t have one already. Let’s also not ignore what happened in other countries that banned or severely cut back on gun use: none of what the pro gun crowd would predict what would happen.

> We'd save more lives by forcing car manufacturers to install ML based drunk detection systems in the driver seat.

Why do that when Uber/Lyft have already mostly solved the problem and self driving cars will do so even more? If gun advocates actually believed in gun control at all, we could talk about technological solutions in that space. But their position is that any gun control at all is useless, and ironically enough implies that only a ban would be worth considering. (And yes, I’m all for taking away your manually driven car when self driving car technology is ready, it just makes so much sense from a safety and traffic perspective).

I know right? If you ship horrible security flaws so often, eventually no one will think they're intentional :D

Honestly you could probably do it without engineers knowing about it simply by cutting QA and red team budgets.

I'm not saying I think that's what happens at Cisco. Having worked at large companies that actively try to ship secure products, and having observed (as a paying end user) the general terrible-ness of networking hardware, that it is more plausible that they're just not being careful - I want to say incompetent by that is likely unfair to the majority of engineers there.

Of course nothing says that various gov. agencies in many countries aren't auditing the equipment themselves and making use of flaws without publicizing them.
One article from which that first picture was taken[0] suggests other than the narrative you want to present:

Today, the two are at opposite ends of the political spectrum. In
the interview last December, Trump said on Fox that Sharpton “is
a guy who I don’t believe really believes what he’s saying.”

And Sharpton has used his MSNBC and radio shows to criticize Trump,
arguing that his stances on Barack Obama’s birth certificate
and the Central Park Five were racist.

And here's another one[1] where Al Sharpton out and out calls Trump a racist.

So that leaves the fact that he one dated a black woman as your evidence to disprove everything else?

H.P. Lovecraft was a racist and virulent antisemite, and yet he still married a Jewish woman. Racists are not racist about everything, all the time, like cartoon characters, and where people like Trump are concerned, obviously class status also has an effect on the way race is viewed.

Not terribly convincing.

>Heck, you probably still think that, this particular bit of fake news has been drilled into everyone's skulls relentlessly for over a year.

Now you're resorting to personal attacks, so this conversation is over.
This would be a good idea, if Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities weren't also "effectively full" (they aren't full, but their land is mostly all claimed by someone and unusable for human housing, so they are effectively 'full')

We have an affordability crisis in Michigan because average rents are now up into the $1600/month range in many areas. Once you adjust for income, a $1600/month rent in Michigan is an effectively identical expense to a $3200/month rent in SF/NYC.

When NYC / SF / other top-tier cities chew you up it's no big deal -- cash out and move to the Midwest. But what can someone do when a Midwest or other bottom-tier cities chews them up? They're stuck, there's nowhere cheaper to move that still has any jobs.

I don't know that you can prevent hostility after combining large groups of people from different cultures. Maybe throttle the stream of immigrants from different cultures so people can assimilate?

Better than censorship.
Frida 12.5 Released
Delicate balance is the word I would have used. As a scoutmaster (BSA in the US) It seemed to me that many of our youth have no comprehension of their own mortality. I used to try to impress upon them the necessity to stay more than one mistake away from disaster. I recall two incidents that demonstrated this.

At a winter camp out the scouts were explicitly warned not to sled on the side of the hill that had trees. One scout didn't heed and hit a tree. He left the campout in an ambulance.

Another scout - luckily at the bottom of sandstone bluffs - decided to see how close he could get to the pot formed by a waterfall. He lost his footing and went into the pot which still held water. He was not injured but had to walk the rest of the hike in wet clothes. It was about 45°F so he was pretty uncomfortable. (At this park several people die each year because they make the same mistake at the top of the bluffs.)

These are just the actions that resulted in a problem or serious injury. There were many times when the youth got too close to the edge - often literally - and were lucky enough to escape unscathed.

On a visceral level I agree with not being overprotective, but being underprotective may not always have the desired effect of instilling a desire to be aware of hazards. Moreover, are we willing to accept the occasional death or maiming of a young person so their cohorts can learn about danger?
What if the solution-space is so constrained we can't tell the difference between new emergence and common genetic molecules.
Rule of law, democracy, free speech and dissent are at odds with secret courts, secret processes and secret orders. A democracy is about transparency and accountability which cannot happen in secret.

A democracy loses meaning with these kinds of laws, and the freedom act is a classic example of Orwellian doublespeak.

There are obviously many people who care deeply about democracy but given how long these activities have gone on and get passed without strong public push back betrays a serious lack of organization in the public sphere. Unless a million people are on the roads this won't stop.

Corporations lobby the government to change laws to boost their profit. Those laws are enforced by guns.

It is a myth that corporations like free markets.
This seems really similar to techniques I've heard about in road design. A lot of safety improvements are pretty well compensated by changes in people's behavior. For example, if you make shoulders and lanes wider, people will feel like they're going slower and speed up to compensate. Even with things you wouldn't expect, like the dedicated/third brake light made mandatory for cars in 1986, there were significant changes in behavior (decreased following time) to compensate. However, there are many safety improvements that are more or less invisible to the end user. The best example is rumble strips -- they're never noticed until they do their job.
This sounds like a nightmare. Not to mention the possible safety issues as this “fleet” starts to age.
>evaluate what up to a 20% increase in housing supply would bring to any one given area and they never say it would fall by anything more than 2%

Hold on. That study is about an increase in the housing stock of a single neighborhood in a city, only for the top decile of expensive neighborhoods, and the resulting effect on rents within that same neighborhood. Its counterfactual is somehow taking the entire private expenditure used to build that housing and putting into public works projects in the bottom 9 deciles of neighborhoods in order to attract demand there instead.
