people calling it a sensible strategy or solid 'risk assessment' really surprises me.

You are to a large degree in charge of your risk. Proper, fullblown, 100% fabcricated accussations seems exceedingly rare. I've never seen any stats and the anecdotes I hear are often 3rd or 4rd degree.

Be a decent human being and you are probably still more likely to get struck by lightning or die in a car crash.

Meanwhile, the cost of walling yourself off from 50% of your colleagues (or as a manager, to avoid 50% of the workforce) seems like a very high cost to your career.

Facebook is definitely not a "critical network". It is a privately owned network operated by a corporation, it is not "critical" or even necessary, in fact, studies suggest increased use of Facebook correlates with poor mental health. Certainly, nobody needs access to Facebook.

Not every man is a sexist pig and not every woman is a saint.

But clearly women have more power over men (in this so called men's world) where they can easily accuse anyone and destroy their lives in an instant.

Both sexes have their good and bad side. We shouldn't let our guard down and favour one over the other.

How are things bad in western societies for women? Please give me examples. Where you have female leaders all around the place. If you were referring to the Middle East, I agree women are oppressed as hell over there.

I'm not sure I'd go as far as "beat a human 99.9/100", certainly not beat by a significant amount, but definitely "at least equal a human 99.9/100". Of course that 1‱ where the human wins could be large wins, but then you have to consider if they are in positions that actually matter i.e. tight loops.

I have a U2F Nitrokey and noticed it's been working in Firefox 66.0.5 for the last few weeks. I thought it was just an announcement I missed. I can confirm it works signing into a Google Account.
Here's hoping it is easy to switch off. Firefox has become extremely crashy, running under Qubes, where the GPU is forbidden, despite my turning off attempts at shader use everywhere I can find. E.g., even turning off "smooth scrolling" made a substantial difference. But it still crashes, even just loading a DDG search results page.

Advice welcome. (No, abandoning Qubes is not an option.)

>techies follow hot girls too

That's a pretty broad statement, not all "techies" are straight males.
Language features: it depends on what you need.

I am a huge fan of Lisp (started using professionally in 1982) and to a lessor degree Smalltalk (I wrote a nifty little NLP library for Pharo). That said, sometimes I really like the strict typing of Haskell, which I am using right now to develop a commercial product.

Smalltalk, especially with the increasing good modern Pharo system, is a great platform for some application, especially for getting close to data and flexibility in trying UI ideas.

In any case, Alan Kay has always been an inspiration to me.
From TFA:

> “A safety driver will sit behind the wheel to intervene if necessary and an engineer will ride in the passenger seat.”

I’m not sure where you went from “intervene if necessary” to mocking what seems to me to be a significant achievement.
I always wonder what exactly did he mean. I'm not quite familiar with Smalltalk and CLOS though I have tried them. But after work with Erlang for a while made me think I'm slowly getting what he said. I found these ideas are really fascinating.

Try to think about the following pieces:

1. A bee dies, the hive won't explode. Millions of cells die every minute within you.

In Erlang, usually, processes (object) are mostly organized as a bureaucratic structure, which has supervisors letting other objects doing the actual job. If someone dies or fails, the supervisor could just kill and replace them. This really looks like biological systems or human society. Not in a world that the boss let someone do some work, then the boss and the worker along with a whole world explodes if the worker fails (99% of OOP languages exception handling are not OOPish at all, it's totally imperative instead of modeling the relation between objects).

These correspond to the biological metaphor in the talk from Alan Kay in OP's article.

2. You can find and talk to someone alive if you know his address, email or phone number.

Java has object reference but it's not transparent to other systems, there is always the 'outside world' concept in this kind of reference or pointer system, similar to ST monad in Haskell. For a normalized database, there are transparent addresses for entity records, but they are dead and cannot talk to anyone until every time you need it, you sort of revive then interact with it for a short period, then you kill it and take its guts back to the database.

In Erlang, you can register any process (object) with an address like {user,42}, any other object can talk to it if they know the address, even from other servers. Just like how URL works mentioned in Alan Kay's talk.

3. The world is concurrent.

You have approximately a thousand audiences in a room. In order to count them, you let them all stand up. You tell everyone needs to get a number '1' in their mind. Then everyone finds another person, add their '1's, one person sits down, another person remains to stand, takes the former guy's number, then repeat the process. The last person stands has the count.

Usually, you only need to count very few times to get the answer. And this is what computer science is about. The problem is, that's not the way most computer program works. Because for most programs, even if you modeled 1000 people in Java, there's still only one person doing one thing at a time. Everyone runs on a monolithic thread. If you call libraries, you are giving them the most important thing you have -- the thread. And they don't promise they will return it to you.

Contrastly, in Erlang, every process (object) must have its own resource, no one can stop other people from doing things, no one can use up all the resources. The real world is a concurrent world where everyone is an isolated individual who can do things at the same time.
The mail delivery part is the least misleading part of the headline. The description of the trucks as self driving is far worse.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_biconditional

This is a very interesting thing to see here as a resident. I bike a lot and am amazed by all of the little signs and regulations neighborhoods around here have posted clearly aimed at these van dwellers. A lot of places have limits on vehicle heights for parking long term, and I see signs that say 'no vehicles over 7ft tall overnight' among other things. One of my coworkers who owns a home here bought his own RV, and he has to deal with cops knocking on it's door and trying to tow it even though it's in front of a home he owns.

For what it's worth, after 5 years the wife and I have decided to leave the area. Even though we are able to save 100% of one of our incomes, there doesn't feel like there will be a time when purchasing makes any sense to us. If we put down 300K, we are still looking at a roughly 150% higher monthly mortgage payment than rent for a house that needs work. And looking at the interest paid over the life of the loan is dizzying, almost a million in interest.
Same can be said for keys on a keyboard you rarely use but why not have it there for that one time you need it? I for one, don’t want to be going through menus just to adjust my steering wheel - especially when I already started driving (which surprisingly happens often that someone else adjusted the steering wheel and I don’t notice until I’m already driving).

As far as comparing with the Volt, the Model 3 and Volt are in two different leagues. The volt is a mass market EV that could’ve been had (ironically, they discontinued it ;) for well under $30k. Model 3 starts at 40k and is competing with BMWs, Audi’s and Mercedes with much better ergonomics due to increased R&D spending over something like a Chevy.

It’s not surprising that Google prefers reliable sites with a valid server certificate.

In this case, the user can be sure that the site uses encryption of personal data to increase protection and security. However, it must be understood that obtaining a certificate can be a daunting task (which accounts for the additional weight of this factor when ranking).

When a site requests a certificate, the organization that issued the certificate becomes a trusted third party to read more here https://sitechecker.pro/http-vs-https/ and check it. When your browser accesses a site that uses the secure HTTPS protocol, it uses the information contained in the certificate to authenticate the site. A user who understands the difference between HTTP and HTTPS, can safely make purchases, and not be afraid that his data will be stolen.
>I have no idea why people think the USPS is this giant wasteful pit of money in the federal budget

A concentrated disinformation campaign funded by people who stand to benefit from privatizing mail delivery. It started with the mandate to pre-fund pension and healthcare benefits for the next 75 years, funding pensions for retired employees who aren't even born yet. That means by federal mandate, the USPS is sitting on $400 billion that they can't touch [1]. That's not all bad in and of itself, but they're also limited by law on what they can charge for stamps, and the federal review board doesn't always let them increase prices to keep up with costs [2].

The same group of people who forced the USPS into an precedented fiscal nightmare are the same people going on TV and telling you that the USPS is fiscally irresponsible and a waste of money and should be privatized. Not a big surprise that Rep Tom Davis III was the author of the bill passed in 2006 but in 2004 FedEx was one of his biggest campaign contributors.

Corruption is hard to define.

Lying to get into office and pursuing legislation that is supported only by moneyed special interests are probably both corrupt things a politician can do, and they certainly erode trust in the government. But the don't get tallied up in the same way quid-pro-quo bribes do.

In many places and times, governments have been pervasively corrupt, so that for example, in practice you will never get a drivers license or a building permit unless you first bribe the inspector or officer who needs to award the permit. This type of corruption is on the decline in almost every country. To my (limited) knowledge it has been relatively rare in the USA throughout its history.
I took this class at Georgia Tech as an undergrad and I also highly recommend it for the material. We had a chain of CS classes leading up to it (2110 -> 2200 -> 4290) on the undergrad side, but when I took it, this course was actually cross-listed as both an undergrad and graduate CS and ECE class (so CS 4290/6290 and the same sort of thing for the ECE major were all in the same literal lecture hall). Of course, most CS students were only taking this if they were in the System & Architectures thread (or maybe Devices?), but most CS students had to at least take up to CS 2200 (Systems & Networks, which basically took the concepts up to "Build me a working 1 CPU computer", whereas this class took the next steps from "Okay, so how do we do better than 1 instruction per cycle?"). Multi-core processors are really cool!

I frequently take for granted that most people don't have this foundational knowledge. The basics come up more than you'd think, especially when provisioning the right hardware for the task.
