Yep. Once the process becomes streamlined, these data-sharing companies will have their own Room 641A like we saw with AT&T and streamlined dragnet surveillance of telecommunications.

> mental illness is ... permanent

Disagree. Some mental illnesses are temporary.

For example some people will only have a single psychotic episode that will not recur: https://www.webmd.com/schizophrenia/guide/mental-health-brie...

I imagine a lot of mental illnesses that do not involve psychosis are sometimes this way too, but this is the one that came to mind where the temporary aspect is literally part of the name.

Other than that... People can respond well to treatment, and many of the disorders are episodic, with the episodes being temporary.
Canada to Introduce Digital Charter: Penalties for 'Misinformation'
Author here. This blog post is the result of my puzzling over how auto-complete works in the shell, and subsequently whether shell completion scripts could be written in Rust. It also introduces a new Rust crate, shell_completion[0], which is a library that exposes some low level primitives for writing shell completion scripts in Rust. shell_completion is certainly in its infancy, so I'd be happy to have contributors of any kind (both code and opinions are welcome).

It doesn't sound egotistical. It just seems like you had good parents and you put in a lot of hard work around a difficult subject and it paid off.

I wish I had put in more time as a kid for chess and that there was more STEM materials for computing and robotics. The 90's was a wasteland between the time of the BBC Micro/Commodore era and what we now have today with the Raspberry Pi and the maker movement. Windows 95 just wasn't very good for a kid with no idea where to start.

Is chess training software not a saturated market? I'm not super familiar with this to be honest.
Even without kids, lots of hobbies require going to far away places with equipment. Lots of those places may not have Uber.

Kids today just aren't imaginative anymore.
If you work 1 day a week, after half a year you can still take a week off; your 1 vacation day, added to the 4 other workdays you don't work.
ElementTree is in the stdlib. It isn't slow and has incremental parsing and so on.

It's also a nice API for dealing with XML.
> the entire point of pursuing fusion is to enable fantastically more energy usage

No, it's to enable enough energy usage for, as MacKay says, a first world standard of living for the entire world's population, instead of just a small fraction of it. That's more than today, but not fantastically more.

Also, as technology advances, the energy usage required for a first world standard of living goes down. Our entire house now has LED bulbs; that cuts our energy usage for lighting to about 10% of what used to be the standard (incandescent bulbs), or about a third of the previous "low energy" standard (fluorescent bulbs--which also have hazmat issues since they contain mercury). Computers today use only a small fraction of the energy of older computers while still delivering more computing power. HVAC systems and refrigerators are more and more efficient. Cars are more efficient--I have a small SUV with a four cylinder engine (up until a few years ago I would never have even considered a four cylinder engine for an SUV, but this one has good enough performance) that gets better gas mileage than the 4-door sedan with a V6 engine that I had before it. The list goes on.
The credit card processors and banks actually do not require a physical address. All you need to charge a credit card is the cart number, and you need to provide an expiration date that is in the future.

You can provide a zip code, or a full address, or the card security code, or a name, and those will be checked and you will be told if they match the information on file with the card issuer, but it is up to you whether or not mismatches should block the transaction.

Transactions with mismatches generally have a higher risk of being fraudulent, so it is a good idea to not go through with transactions when the data doesn't match because if you put through too many fraudulent charges bad things can happen to you, ranging from higher fees to having your ability to accept cards revoked.

British Victorians Who Became Muslims
Researchers have not seen any evidence that the ketogenic diet (or any other diet that trains the body to engage lipolysis to a greater degree) increases exercise capacity.

They have seen evidence that these diets can retool the body to more readily use fat as an energy substrate. While this doesn't translate to performance gains, it can mean that on a multi-hour/multi-day effort that a self-supported athlete might need to have a bit less food in their packs as well as foods with a higher proportion of fat that are lighter. Lighter pack = faster athlete.

But...even low intensity exercise over long duration is going to result in the recruitment of FTa/FTb muscle fibers that run almost exclusively by glycolyis. So an athlete counting on fat to be the primary energy substrate has be really highly trained, practiced, and know their pacing thresholds really well to keep the recruitment of those muscle fibers to a minimum.

Best paper I know of on the subject is this one: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55b7ffebe4b0568a75e33...

Seems like gas prices are currently around the ten year average: https://www.gasbuddy.com/Charts

I’m not sure that gas prices matter all that much to Tesla though. Even with the low-end Model 3, it’s tough to save money over an efficient gas car. Tesla’s appeal is based more on their cars being fun, quick, quiet, clean, practical, and technologically sophisticated.
This comparison isn't valid for nuclear; nuclear power plants use steam turbines to convert heat to electricity, just like coal plants do, and the thermal efficiency (fraction of energy from burning the fuel that actually becomes electrical energy) is about the same.
For the [horses mouth](https://web.archive.org/web/20180819145940/http://shitelonsa...):

"The most you could said is that [Tesla] executives were too optimistic. They presented a better face to the situation that should have been presented in the final few months, but then, if they didn't do that, it would have become a self-fulfilling prophecy - as soon as a CEO says I'm not sure if we'll survive, you're dead. You know, I think people are making too much of this [Tesla] thing."
oh yeah - this sort of thing is rife on thinly-traded commodity and forex markets, especially if you think the regulators aren't paying much attention - you'll see Barts all over the place.

It's a symptom of just how thin trading is in crypto, even for the "biggest" one.

A 20 year old car today is heavily dependent on software, and they still seem to work.

To be clear: you asked a question about bankruptcy, that I answered. I also editorialized a little at the clearly implied frame of your question which seemed to assume that TSLA would be in chapter 11 in ten months. And that's insane.

Is the quality of the dependencies you use really so bad that it'd take you more time to fix them than to write your own code and then fix that?

Like I can see where I'd make that tradeoff, but it'd have to be a small function in a really niche use case, which isn't really that common. (I work on the JVM though and don't know how good/bad Python libraries would be in general.)

The United States doesn’t have the monopoly on a category of weapons called Less Than Lethal(LTL).

There are a range of production LTL weapons that are used for riot control that use directed/focused microwave transmitters.

It’s not unreasonable to think that US adversaries have developed similar LTL weapons.

Many small/portable systems exist for use by the military/police/secret service to disrupt UAVs up to several kilometres away.

It’s within the realm of possibility that an adversary of the US is applying some form of LTL weapon in certain locales.

There is also a theoretical possibility a substance used to mark known/suspected intelligence officers could cause the reactions described.

This is based on the 80’s era KGB “Spy Dust” marking agent story.

Perhaps such substances have evolved in both capability and side-effects.
A friend who worked on the charging system for the Model S reported that a few weeks before the vehicle shipped they were way behind schedule for building vehicles and falling further behind as the release date approached.

One Sunday morning the entire engineering team was on the manufacturing floor helping the struggling manufacturing team build vehicles and Elon appeared trailing a gaggle of execs. They started poking about and work started to grind to a halt. The engineering lead went over and asked what was up. Elon said that they were wanting to see first hand what was holding up production.

The engineering lead loudly told Elon to get the fuck off the manufacturing floor if he wanted any vehicles finished that day, that the engineering team didn't come in on a Sunday to dick about with execs and they would walk out if the execs didn't leave. If they wanted to talk they could schedule a meeting for Monday morning. Elon shut up and left and the team went back to building vehicles.

The engineering lead left the company several months after the Model S shipped as did most of the powertrain group. Tesla continues to burn through engineering talent, but like Apple, has a still continuous stream of bright eyed naive true believers willing to sign up.
This is pretty much the reason consultants exist. They are the employee's risk insurance.
I would be very interested to see those numbers arrogated, I have no idea whether these numbers are percentages of 100% original CPU performance or percentages of the remaining performance from the last bug. Either way, that's some serious performance loss. Even your normal light-weight users are going to start noticing slowdown.

It appears as if nobody at Intel is doing anything other than cursory security analysis of processors. So far the cost has been performance, but I imagine there may be some bugs without micro-code mitigation. Not only this but it appears to be only a matter of time until Intel ME is broken too.
Been doing Rails development for 6+ years. The most maintainable codebases I've worked on had some kind of service layer between the controller and the model. We used the "interactor" gem to create individual units of business logic that we could reuse and piece together into larger "flows". Business logic stayed in the interactors, persistence logic in the models. This lead to skinny controllers, skinny models and many, many many reusable skinny services. One fortunate side effect is that all these pieces became extremely easy to test in isolation, as well as integration tested.

Some suggestions:

- First, and maybe most important: familiarize yourself with the general functioning of the product from the user level. The code will make much more sense if you understand what it's actually supposed to be doing. Also, many of the class and method names reflect things that the product does, so understanding the product will help you decipher the code.

- Try to understand the high-level architecture, e.g., what are the major parts of the system and how do they talk to each other? Looking at how the product is built and deployed could help identify the major pieces. In Java, these pieces might correspond to jar files. If the product stores data in a database, what are the main database tables? If it's a web app, what are the servlets or other APIs that the GUI uses to talk to the back-end?

- If the product has Javadoc documentation, use that to get an overview of what the various parts of the code do. Try to find any other documentation that exists about the implementation of the system. (Unfortunately, sometimes there's no doc.)

- If there are people on the team who are willing to give you an overview of the code, spend some time talking with them.

- Once you've done all of the above, sit down with the debugger and try to trace the sequence of events that occurs when you perform some simple user operation, like clicking on a button in a GUI. Try to predict in advance what might happen based on your understanding of the architecture. Read through some of the code that you've executed to get a more detailed idea of how it works. Repeat many times with different types of operations.

While doing all this, write down detailed notes. These notes will be useful for you to refer back to, and could also help the next new developer understand the code more quickly.
I agree with you about not caring, but I wonder if you've really not noticed that lots of people do care about how remains are handled?
> Maybe instead of putting on a show in court, Netflix et al should simply stop asking people for their physical addresses? I mean, that is the underlying vulnerability that will allow this push to succeed.

> We were so excited for the promise of the Internet to overturn all this legacy bullshit. Then the legacy bullshitters got here, built a bunch of proprietary services on top of HTTP, marketed them as progress, and are slowly reimplementing the status quo!

I don't understand your point. The tax Chicago is trying to impose has nothing to do with Netflix's service being proprietary. The tax would still be charged even if their service were built entirely out of free software and all they streamed was public domain material, as long as they charged for the service.
It's weird but I don't see any visceral hate. Just people asking hard questions.

Amazon/Google are also terrible examples to use. If either went under there is no effect on consumers. If Tesla goes under then many owners will have a car on their hand that potentially can't be supported.

A part-time/ZHC worker in the UK doesn't work a set number of days a week.

They're assigned a variable number of hours per week. It might be 4 this week, 20 the next, 0 after that, etc.

You wait for the rota and work what you've been assigned.

It's kind of like a lower-level version of being on call.

It only really even works in the first place because we have all sorts of insane welfare subsidies that mean people have their income topped up to make up the shortfall.

I would imagine something like this must exist in the US. A quick google brought up https://www.governing.com/topics/mgmt/gov-work-irregular-hou... which sounds basically like what exists here.
I prefer it framed as compulsory or highly rewarded, civil or military service. It’s a pity the US no longer has anything like the WPA [1], for example.

If a bulk of the species living on the planet collapse from climate change, humans will not be having a good time.
And yet, it is a lot less consolidated than antisocial media is.

You can actually run your own mail server without major problems, and even if you use an email provider, there still are quite a lot of them on the planet, and they do have to compete, so if one started to be too much of an asshole, users could reasonably easily switch to a different one, so that certainly limits what providers even attempt to do.
This is in no way specific to Python, and I think happens eventually in most languages. Only the heavier formal systems remain manageable.
They're typically broken out of the box because they don't pin their dependencies. pip-tools[1] or pipenv[2], and tox[3] if it's a lib, should be considered bare minimum necessities - if a project isn't using them, consider abandoning it ASAP, since apparently they don't know what they're doing and haven't paid attention to the ecosystem for years.

Wow!

That sounds fascinating.

I’ve never heard of such an example of specifically induced stress in academia.

The concept sounds intriguing, but I wonder if the inducement of stress in a testing environment as an add-on/addendum after would be of value. Effectively two tests, one with and one without induced stress. Experimental/control groups.
> When you take a life you forfeit any more rights you have

When you're convicted of it. Not before.

This seems to be a very recent thing. First off, I don't think the justice system is meant to "bring closure" to the victims, whatever that means. And secondly, if someone close to me was murdered, I seriously doubt that "closure" would make me feel any better about it.
> The name 'Vandal' got its connotation for no reason at all?

Well, vandal only became a reference for property destruction during the French Revolution. So your associations with that word are in fact quite modern.

Furthermore, if you’re going to assert that the vandals got the reputation that they deserved, then you’ll need to explain why goth now means “teenager with an affinity for black clothing”.
> Modern OSes can run arbitrary binaries, but they can pretty much run arbitrary non-adversarial binaries

Mostly. Modern OSes strive to run abdersarial binaries, but where they can do it safely or not is still in question, IMO.
Kind of. Waiting to commit works both ways:

1. If they castle one side, you can do the other and then launch an attack, usually it’s the pawns that clear the way and open lines, then rooks and minor pieces can get in the action. (As opposed to using rooks to push down pawns, if I’m reading your comment correctly)

2. You can also see if they are preparing an attack on one side, usually watching pawn structure or where they’re putting rooks. And then you can castle on the opposite side to effectively neutralize the attack.

Note that it’s definitely possible to launch an attack on the side you are castled on, especially if the center has a closed pawn structure - it’s just more risky and thus less common.
I'm not sure "thin" is the right word here. It took something like 20 minutes for someone to dump nearly $40 million worth of Bitcoin, and after the dust had settled, the price had dropped less than 12%.

There are many other factors that lead to this sort of thing happening with Bitcoin, including the lack of regulatory oversight you mention.
I've read that historically on Jeju Island in South Korea, women were the breadwinners for the longest time. This was because the most valuable thing peasants could do was dive for shellfish. Women could do it better than men since their level of body fat gave them more protection from the cold, etc.
Sounds like a super effective policy.

In any case, the second half of my comment should apply just as well for such folks. We allow much worse things with a warrant, even from that perspective.
EVs are fine but I don’t like Tesla as a company. I don’t want OTA updates, I don’t want a car that phones home like Chrome and Windows 10, I want the ability to fix things myself. I want to actually own the things I buy. Basically, I see Tesla as pushing for TOS/licensing like model for car ownership. I want too see companies like that fail.
