Correct, time_t second is already in practice not an "SI second" the later being defined by the "counts" in the "atomic" clocks:

"the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom" (at a temperature of 0 K)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second

That SI second is what I refer to when I mention an "atomic clock second."

The time_t second is effectively simply one 86400th of a day.

I used to follow a couple hundred journalists/researchers etc. "real people" and eventually moved to curating each segment through different accounts and allowing each account to assimilate into the communities instead of a clusterfuck of interests in one timeline (yes i know lists exist but like fb groups it doesnt really serve the purpose of exploring content, not as easily at least)

its been relaxing, carefully curating people that complain/add negativity to my feed out and adding more interesting accounts as time goes on
Extremist is not well-defined, despite how much you want it to be. People who thought women had the right to vote a hundred years ago were extremist.
Agreed. News junkies aren’t after the truth / meaningful debate. They are after confirmation bias and seeing people they hate get rekt.
I figured that the main point of a carbon tax is to make it more expensive, so people would use less of it. And I think those Polish drivers are right. People would not accept a carbon tax on top of excise taxes on gasoline. In Estonia the 44.1% of the final price of gasoline was excise taxes and another 20% of it was VAT. 64.37% of the final price was purely tax.[0]

The story is very similar in all the other European countries as well. Countries that have a GDP per capita 2 to 3 times lower than the US are paying more for gasoline.

> Technological progress will solve any policy problem. If you make it so that wind, solar, and next generation nuclear power is cheaper than other alternatives and more desirable, the market will progressively switch.

Two problems.

First, progressive switching is slower than needed to even decelerate warming. The system already has enormous momentum and it cannot be arrested easily and with gentle measures.

Second, technological path dependency is extremely strong. Historically the kinds of jolts to move from one systemic technological optimum to another (eg steam-rail-telegram to oil-road-radio) have been enormous. Wars and depressions, mostly. It would be nice to avoid these.
No, parent pointed out what I repeated, that history shows that freedoms are lost incrementally. You are the only one talking about inevitability.... which is par considering you also think it's totally obvious what some word that by it's very nature is inherently undefined, means.
I am, for the most part, a free-trade advocate.

But I have been having more and more doubts when it comes to China. Free trade has not made China a more free place. It looks like they are just using their economic power to hurt freedom everywhere.

Sorry, I'm not suggesting prefetching cross-domain. I know for a fact this works already, as I've done it.

I'm suggesting that one domain should be able to load assets cached by another domain. They can check the hash to ensure it's the correct, unmodified asset.
> Do you think induced demand might be a problem? It's been shown that by increasing the size of highways, for example, you increase traffic

The thing with induced demand is, everyone admits that it's possible to out build induced demand - it's just impractical to do so, so it rarely happens. The housing equivalent of induced demand (people who live in suburbs moving to the city) is a very real phenomenon, but it's inherently self-regulating. If people avoid living in the city because of cost, they'll stop moving in when the price stops coming down.

Luckily for housing, while the main reason we don't have infinite transportation infrastructure is cost, the main reason we don't have infinite housing is regulation which is inexpensive (in theory) to remove.

Why should you tell an officer something that you're not legally required to? It's none of their business, and if they can look it up, they can go ahead. It's a means of peaceful resistance to a procedure that's arguably unconstitutional (fourth amendment).

Personally, I usually travel with family, so I don't want to make a scene. But when I travel alone, I'm a bit more resistant to trade my rights for convenience.

I completely understand and respect people who peacefully resist border security, and hopefully those agents learn a thing or two about where the limits to their authority are. Please don't be a jerk about it, but you should never be compelled to give any more information or assistant than legally required.
White House launches tool to report political censorship on social media

Well, there are things you can do about it, but I didn't want to get into that when describing the incentives that make it difficult or impossible for them to censor the public discourse unilaterally, but possible to do as a cartel.

If you are acknowledging that a cartel in collusion with the government is acting to censor everyone's speech, that's at least a start.

No, none of the cause-and-effect relationships I described depend on anything being bad. They function in exactly the same way regardless of whether that would be good or bad.

The sneaky conceit is that you've constructed a causal scenario that presupposes the undesirability of a supposedly inevitably caused future. If we had more commerce, more free speech, more sharing of culture, and more cultural change, we would have less extremism. History shows us this quite clearly. It's when big, centralized powers start mucking about with the lives of individuals, that extremism rears its ugly head and becomes a problem.
It's been around long enough to not be a "buzzword" anymore. Now it's faded into the background as just something that everybody is using (even if all they use is HDFS). It's like nearly every other "once trendy, now commonplace" technology that rolls through the IT landscape. It's the "darling of the day" for a while, and then a new shiny comes along and becomes the new darling. Meanwhile the Hadoop clusters still keep chugging along doing their jobs, just like the COBOL code, MVS systems, iSeries boxes, JBoss servers, CORBA brokers, Beowulf clusters, or whatever else used to be trendy and now isn't.

Of course sometimes things fade away just because they are obviated by something clearly superior. For the map/reduce part of Hadoop that may well be Spark. But even now, in my experience, most Spark set ups are running on HDFS and using Yarn. shrug

I guess the numbers, but the phone body can dissipate something like 1W, the chip can output 5W of heat when fully utilized at max clock, the difference accumulates until it shuts down to protect itself from melting. You need active cooling to run it at max clock, and I don't know if the firmware will let you even if the temp sensor says it's fine.

How much of this is because of the rich vs. poor axis rather than the urban vs. rural one?

There's rich rural (think of the Hamptons, Tahoe, Marin/Napa Counties) and poor rural (Appalachia, Deep South, Central Valley), just like there's rich urban (lower Manhattan, Pac Heights, wealthy areas of Taipei/Shanghai/Tokyo etc.) and poor urban (the Tenderloin, the Bronx, much of Baltimore or Detroit). I never see things like trash left out, drug use, etc. in rich rural areas, and it's usually a 5 minute walk to an organic food market. Conversely, I see trash, shit, junkies, mentally ill people, random stabbings, and so on all the time in the Tenderloin. While there may be some correlation between poverty and rural areas, it seems like poverty is a much bigger cause of various social ills.

OFX is a painful spec; hard to know what is and is not used by various banks.

I spent a bit of time writing a simple streaming OFXv1 (SGML) parser in Rust, but I'm too ashamed to open-source it. The idea behind it was you read the OFX file byte by byte, using Nom to parse out tokens, and emit events when you hit SGML tags and element content (SAX-parser style). Then you have something over the top of that that accumulates state until it has a complete OFX data element, and then emits that.

Advantage: Very low memory usage. Disadvantage: Probably overkill, since OFX files probably wouldn't be megabytes or gigabytes.

It works for my bank feed, but who knows how many other banks!

If you have any ideas on how to support this well in a non-hacky way that doesn't involve relying on a scripting language (all other existing implementations seem to be some form of scripting language :().
I think people pay for it because they can make money on a small % of what they buy so they pick out the easy money and dump the trash somewhere else. So the result is pretty much the same. A bunch of trash from developed countries gets dumped on the 3rd world only 2 people made money from it and we can all feel good about it because no first world dumps trash in the ocean, they go through extra steps before that.
So don't leave the city if rural areas suck so bad.

Claiming to want to have a debate about free speech only to default to strawman arguments, baseless dismissals, and arrogant ignorance; your ironic and authoritarian behavior exhibits their point: the meaning of speech is subjectively defined by the individual
Induced demand means that wider roads don’t reduce latency (traffic). But it does increase throughout (cars per hour).

More housing may not result in an equivalent drop in price. But it will increase the number of people with access to economic opportunity.

Suffice to say I’m in favor of increasing throughout. For both transportation and housing.

> Mind you, Wahhabist groups were literally spreading their message just a few years ago (still in 2017) in front of shopping malls here in Berlin.

So do Neo-Nazis quite regularily. But the problem runs deeper. I find it acceptable for a society to say, that it doesn't want certain types of messages to be brought forward. E.g. if your political message is to basically disallow any other political message other than your own, why should society tolerate your message? Or if you are going in all inflamatory and start to divide people and spell out goals of genozide – why would any society that wants to remain civilized not in some form penalize that kind of behaviour?

As much as I am for free speech, censorship in any form (be it your collegues who stop interacting with you because of your shitty ideas) fulfilled certain societal functions and a lot of the change we saw in the recent years has also to do with the fact, that this censorship is not only gone, but the polar oposite: 30 years ago extreme opinions would have drowned out in the sea of mainstream opinions.

Today we have digital systems that penalize mainstream opinions and reward extreme opinions on the fringes. This leads to entirely different discourses and also ultimately to the need of more censorship to retain social stability.

The crucial question is how this censorship looks like once it comes (and it will).

The Christchurch shooter amassed a cache of weapons, and also posted a copy of his manifesto and a link to his real Facebook account to 4chan.

The censorship/Facebook algorithms amplifying abhorrent content debate is one thing but I'm surprised by the lack of scrutiny of the security services over this. Especially for a member of the 5 Eyes. I can't help but feel this could have been prevented without any of the changes being proposed.

I would prefer a sunsetting scheme along the lines of tenuring objects in generation scavenging garbage collection. In essence newly created laws would be up for review after a short period of time at which point they are either trashed or batched into a group with a longer time until next review. Long lived laws (ex. don't murder people) which have passed many reviews would be tenured into a pool of rare or only forced review.

Along with this approach I would want a new mechanism for batching several individual single topic bills for collective passing on a single vote. That as opposed to the current U.S. model of bundling wholly unrelated legislation into a single bill for voting on.
Because those other 80% are focused on posturing and tasks associated with getting higher pay.

> If I wait exactly one second, Unix time advances by exactly one second, unless a leap second has been removed.

What complete and utter bogus. Just because some moron in the IERS has defined that my day has more or less seconds doesn't mean time stands still for me. If I wait 1 second in UNIX time, one second passes. As in: If I am travelling at 1 meter per second, and I wait one second in UNIX time, I travelled one meter. Maybe UTC didn't advance but time in the real, actual world advanced.

The ground truth is UNIX time which advances monotonically and linearly. UTC is a political garbage mess plopped on top of actual time. So, on the graph you've got it the wrong way around: The x-axis should be UNIX time, the y-axis should be UTC time.
I live in Texas near SH 130 which is (in)famous for having the highest speed limit posted in the nation (85mph) I think only on the Autobahn can you legally go faster anywhere in the world. In the end you have the normal rabble rousing in the news cycle whenever there is a fatal crash (anecdotally uncommon) but would love to see some statistics comparing SH130 Crashes and fatality rates to other roads in US or world. Some cursory googling does not reveal any studies of this caliber unfortunately.
I find that cities just poor enough that not enough of rich people live there (rich people tend to convince the city to regulate how others live their lives which results in stress) but not poor enough that there's rampant crime seems to be the sweet spot.
But that's always true anyway because of clock drift, skew, etc. Otherwise we wouldn't need NTP in the first place.
I don't consider myself qualified to answer that question, but I do think someone should study it. It would be interesting to try to correlate various empirical outcomes with available living space (though of course it will be tricky to control for all the variables, because I'm sure this correlates with e.g. wealth).
Yes. In the United States the NRC requires that civilian nuclear power plants be remediated to a point where the property can be released for unlimited use within 60 years of termination of the license. Most of this time span is provided for financial reasons, not technical, as decommissioning is financially secured by a trust fund which gains value with time (the use and investment of which is monitored by the NRC).

The NRC does recognize an "entombment" state for facilities in which they are secured so as to be permanently safe, but this does not remove the 60-year requirement, so is usually done when another facility on the same site still has an active license, preventing full-site remediation.

With regards to the second point, definitely.

Quite a few years ago the security team of the organisation I worked at didn't have our internal vulnerability scanning services automated. It relied on them capturing the IPv4 addresses (specifically the /32's, not the subnets) and manually entering them into the engine.

Our security team mistyped a handful of these addresses and instead of the scan running across our internal infrastructure, we scanned WalMarts external facing infrastructure in the US from Australia.

These scans were happening semi-regularly for a period of a few weeks before we received a cease and desist and the sec. team realised their error. I'm still rather surprised more didn't come of it.
Basically this. It was Pandora’s Box.
Yet initiatives like Carbon tax have been shot down (Australia) by big money, putting dangerous delays into the schedule.

In limited cicrumstances it can make sense. If you're investing in a multi-year project you may as well maximize your investment in one year and take the loss against other taxable income that year. Then, when the project is finished, you pay taxes on the income that year. Only you can take those funds and invest them into a new multi-year project...

That's not anywhere close to "the best solution"
It isn't the "thoughts and prayers" part by itself, it is the "thoughts and prayers" offered by politicians and then absolutely nothing else. Even Christians can find it hypocritical:

> "Prayer that doesn't lead to concrete action toward our brothers is a fruitless and incomplete prayer. [...] Prayer and action must always be profoundly united"

- Pope Francis. (grabbed from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoughts_and_prayers)

Otherwise, that to many people the phrase has become synonymous with willful inaction is just collateral damage.

It doesn't even call out the hypocrisy of christians that don't support gun control. They can believe in other ways forward, like arming all kids with guns and having them practice lots of active shooter drills, or whatever, but it is the "it is not that bad, let's not worry about it" attitude that makes people angry. The original comment I was replying to talked about a "having a national dialogue on gun control", which simply hasn't happened.
The question is not "do they have the right", but rather should they be prevented via the government. Seeing as a coal plant (the other likely option) has impacts all its own, I think not. It is the lesser of two evils, if not a perfect good.

Obama is also the only 2 term president who has been at war for his entire time. It is also hard to Obama didn't start a war. During his term, we had: Libya, Iraq (2014-), Syria, and Sudan (among other conflicts that I am sure I am forgetting). We can certainly argue about how much the US "started" those wars; some were from NATO (in which the US is major player), and some were clearly the US getting involved in an external war.

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.
Or that they're pretty out of spec for a 737. I think other people in the thread have pointed out that the extra lift from the engine position is considered normal in other airplane models, but I haven't seen a lot about that aspect of the MCAS issue so I can't comment on it.
There are downsides to FP as well. I am not advocating one over the other. But there is a concrete theoretical reason why FP is more modular, reuseable and organized than OOP code.

Smalltalk is possibly the only OOP language that lets objects be compose-able and modular. Check out Pharo if you're interested. If you learn smalltalk well enough, you could apply its principles to traditional OOP languages and gain the modularity benefits.

I doubt that's the only reason but according to this table [0], AGC triplets are 2x more prevalent than UGC in that bacteria.

Edit: this the frequency of that codon being used o the genome sequence. But the assumption could be that it is also preferably produced as a t-RNA so it can replicate its genome efficiently.

It's more likely that they have introduced errors, or non-preferred patterns, which affect the number of replication forks and stall the replication machinery.
