Increasing population will be a contributor in the future if we do not change our technology, but that does not matter because even if everyone but the west (who has a stable population level) stopped emitting carbon we'd still be screwed

Focusing on reducing population is literally preemptive optimization on something that may or may not be a problem depending on the trajectory of energy/production over the next 10 years. It is also just a polite way of saying eugenics

The security teams are correct in the training they run about these: report the suspicious email and leave the investigation to them, don't try to DIY the investigation. Note you aren't penalized for false positives (reporting a legitimate email as a phishing attempt).
I don't see the problem here. Bars presumably are free to use this system or not, and no one really needs to go to bars anyway. This isn't like being prevented from shopping at a grocery store or getting to work.

Honestly, if this system ended up causing a bunch of bars to go out of business, I'd be laughing. Maybe people should find a better way to spend their time than getting drunk.
Damage from nuclear power isn't a hypothetical one. You're also acting like there are no other options. There are also additional options that aren't receiving investment needed to allow the technology mature. Coal power plants could also introduce CO2 scrubbers.
The risk of hitting an exploit on the command line, especially with something like wget, is enough orders of magnitude lower that I think it falls under acceptable. The standard cannot be zero risk because that's impossible. Even shutting off the internet link doesn't get you all the way to zero.
If you're spending >$1000 on tires, how is a $80 set of TPMS hard to justify?

Presumably you're buying snow tires for safety reasons. Proper tire pressure is important for traction, thus safety. And winter is the time when tire pressure fluctuates the most.
He shouldn't get a monopoly, but going from 1 to not in the top 400 overnight is suspicious. Not that Apple ever promised that wouldn't happen. But it is probably worth complaining about publicly in case that helps shake something loose.
Musk wants to re-engineering both tunnel boring and how we use tunnels - the latter may not pan out but the former is useful regardless of what gets run through the tunnel.

That's a learned trait. I don't click unsubscribe links; I click "report spam" and "report phishing" button.

> The whole "highways are ugly" argument really is mostly from/for upscale people who don't want their view ruined.

That's really, really not true. And "it's ugly" isn't the argument usually presented, either - it's that it's a tremendous waste of space.

Move all the roads underground and you can reuse that land. Maybe for a park, but also maybe for high-density housing that will make things more affordable for everyone.
They could start with a specific list of allowed uses:

* purchasing a physical item
* purchasing an electronic item accessible outside of the app
* subscribing to a service accessible outside of the app
* purchasing things through the app owner's own payment gateway

And then expand from there as necessary. Probably the restrictions would need to be tighter than that, but something along those lines.
The "server" part of the "server side rendering" is necessarily on premises, and likely to move to... something? Soon? I deliberately wrote it as thin as possible, because it will need to be rewritten, without question. The db, fortunately, is on a stable platform.

I don't disagree with the bloating issue, but in this case, these are all decently capable desktops, and it hasn't been even close to a problem.
There's no such thing as protected classes in dating though, so I don't think it's a useful parallel. You're allowed to not date, say, people of other races if that's how your tastes run, but you're not allowed to discriminate against providing business services to people by race.

My intention wasn't to focus on the mathematics of blockchains, but rather that experimental research in general should not be dedicated solely to those causes that solve real problems for real people. Proving Fermat's Last Theorem did not solve any tangible real life problems (that I'm aware of), but we pursued a solution nevertheless.

In terms of the original point, I agree that being able to run your own decentralized exchange is not a problem facing people today. However, by pushing the boundaries of the technology, we are building a foundation of knowledge and engineering for how to use smart contracts on blockchains in the future.

Also, 0x is open source [1], so in my opinion, this is much more akin to a research project than a commercial product. If commercial products can be built on it, even better. But I think we should be even more long term sighted than that, and accept that there are uses of these technologies that have yet to be discovered, and we won't be able to discover them unless we experiment.

This is the most fascinating thing I've read all day. Thanks for the information!
For mine, I had to pay for a TPMS reset every tire change. This isn't worth it.
This is exactly the case. If you click on a link in the fake phishing email you've failed the test. It does not require you to install anything, open an attachment, etc.

My children receive a secular homeschool education. They score well on standardized tests, interact well with their peers in extracurricular activities, and have healthy and meaningful relationships with other children and adults in their lives.

I recognize that there are some in the homeschool "community" who are ruining their children (imho). For the sake of freedom, I accept that there are terrible people in the world who should not have reproduced, but for me to have rights they must have them too.
I would reserve the high standards for some other setting (tech workers perhaps). Driving uber is worse than retail - nearly 100% of work is customer facing, the environment is cutthroat and many drivers can't catch a break (financial pressure, hard times that sort of thing).

And uber has huge surplus of drivers - they are going to cull hard, and driver volume will still be high in their major profit centers.
> I never think twice about clicking links.

I hope you don't work for any sensitive position.
I would like to note that I always tip well and give a 5 star rating to every driver I use.

I have had a couple drivers cancel on me. One came within 50 yards of us at the Disneyworld parking lot, then turned around and left, while we were waving them down.
Yeah, the joke is that next they'll release that the concrete tunnel road is subject to deterioration, so they'll shift to steel tracks. Then they'll realize that these individual vehicles should be linked together to allow for higher capacity. Then... then you have a subway.
There are always implied assumptions, like assuming that there are no bugs in the kernel drivers themselves, and assuming that memory is not damaged.

Saying "we cannot achieve anything because there might be firmware bugs" is technically true, but completely counter-productive. Adding "A little bit better or worse is not that big of a deal" is just bad engineering -- can you imagine doctor saying, "you might get hit by a car at any time, so I decided it is not worth it to heal you"?
Freakonomics did a recent podcast [1] which examined different methods of student loans and payback programs. One idea was letting businesses "invest" in students directly by paying for tuition, with the student agreeing to payback terms upfront, thereby shifting the risk from the student to investor.

Reasonable discourse dictates we assume everyone is arguing in good faith: i.e. that we are all similarly able to come to good conclusions, that we actually hold these views honestly, and we at least willing to entertain the idea that we could change our minds. If you do not believe this about a discussion, why waste time in it?

It'll work on the basis of tunnel on-ramps merging into the main tunnel, just like highways or train stations.
UBI fails because most people who we want to help won't make good decisions. As my childhood barber noted, in the great depression the "men" who couldn't afford to feed their family where the ones hanging out playing pinball with any cash they had. UBI wouldn't help them, any money they get wouldn't go for food, shelter (or a long list of other things), but to expensive entertainment.

No, I think they should be fired and not allowed to work in public transportation for some time, and only then after some rehab/training. People can change, after all. But this is a different issue with different sorts of solutions.

It is really more like having one cashier at a grocery store refuse to ring you up as opposed to the grocery store chain not allowing you inside because the cashiers decided you weren't delightful enough, even if that was because your child was loud a few times.

When it is the cashier, you have a bit of recourse, after all. When it is the chain, you have very little recourse and not only that, but now you have to figure out where else to shop. It might not be so bad in a town with many grocery stores, but it'll be mighty inconvenient if you have to drive to the next town to shop.
The reason is simple: it's because your statement is a mere opinion backed by no fact whatsoever.

Plenty of small startups are innefficient, and produce bad products that are badly thought out, and fail to meet any demand.

There are also plenty of government workers that are responsible, honest and hard working.

Basing retorical questions on opinions goes to nowhere. You asked a leading question that begged a very specific answer.
If you imagine this torus with flat sheets projected out from the innermost annulus, then the distance between the sheets would increase as you get further out. I wonder how far apart the sheets can be before the effect breaks down.
I buy that it would be a combination of both factors. I don’t buy that it would be exclusively due to the lack of Skype (I assumed his kids had grown up in the last decade or so, but fair enough) because I myself have been paid tens of thousands of dollars tutoring students of fairly wealthy family when I was in grad school and not once was I asked to do it over Skype.
The goal is "don't be phished", right? Measuring http requests is a proxy for that, and not a completely accurate one.

Yes.

If you are a circuit board, getting some water on yourself would be one way to (potentially destructively) learn about what your design actually is.

Or fault injection or fuzzing, same idea. By making errors happen, you find out about possible errors that even can happen, and that tells you something about the overall design. Maybe the design cannot be fully determined this way, but a portion can be learned, maybe a portion unreachable by any other means (MRI, neural probes, etc) so research into the mind and consciousness by use of psychedelics does make sense.
But it doesn't. Current systems do not do this, but people trust in them because machine learning is "more accurate", somehow. It's a huge problem managing expectations around a black box. Online training does not happen in any form at scale. These "fair" systems are, by and large, nonsense.
I'm not surprised you are getting downvoted but that's pretty funny.
I pretty much only give 5 stars even though I don't feel like that's what I should be giving. I was just stating if I was honest with my rating it would only hurt drivers. That's what I've always assumed and it turns out I was right.

Professional educators really only need the training and certification because they are dealing with students at scale. One on one teaching is not remotely the same as teaching in a classroom setting where you have to adapt to multiple learning styles and multiple achievement levels all while using standardized assessment techniques, detailed lesson planning, and classroom management skills. The vast majority of what composes an education degree is there because you are educating a large, diverse group. When it is just one teacher working one on one with a single student, a lot of that is irrelevant. The way you teach, the way you assess their progress, and the way you adapt to their needs is much more natural. And most of the principles that apply in both contexts can be learned on the fly.

> It's not like kids going to traditional schools can't also get additional educational opportunities.

This is true and it's a lot of why we homeschool. There are peers that are getting similarly elite educations and just doing it slightly different ways. If I had a billion dollars, I would be paying for an elite, personal tutor to educate my children. I wouldn't be sending them to a public school. Homeschooling allows my wife and I to provide something analogous to that elite structure for our children, even though they are firmly middle class.

I second that, to a degree. I write mostly TypeScript and Rust these days and it still behaves unexpectedly sometimes.

Example: for a service we wanted to port Rusts’ Result.

https://gist.github.com/KenanSulayman/34a40daa3ebbd1e1bdf7c7...

Notice the ‘as any’ and ‘_T!: T;’ et al. hacks to make it work.

Other than that it’s completely a one to one port from the Rust core implementation.
I lived in Chicago more than twice as long, and directly in the Loop for 90% of that time, not out in the neighborhoods. I lived for a year directly next to the Lake/Wells junction. I know about L noise.
There's a pretty wide canyon between "has a monopoly on a phrase" and "drops from long-term #1 to virtually unlisted overnight". Moving up and down organically in search is normal and to be expected. Suddenly going from #1 to completely missing in results should not be expected.
I really like the idea of this! Potentially quite helpful for the GraphQL space, I think, since these query files could map 1:1 with resolvers (if I understand GraphQL correctly).

I've been working on a Node+TypeScript web app on and off for the last couple years, and one thing that's always bugged me with it is database access - it uses Knex.js as a query builder. Knex is a solid (if imperfect) DSL for interacting with SQL, but as time goes on and I get more comfortable with SQL, I've started wishing I could write raw SQL instead more easily. I think an architecture like PugSQL might help bridge the gap between "passing a bunch of SQL strings around" and a query builder.

Slightly off topic further thinking - one problem I've always had with Knex and TypeScript, though, is the lack of static typing - I've been writing runtime validations for each individual query result. This has been a bit annoying to maintain at scale since I don't have very good patterns for it. With a system like PugSQL, though, I could imagine just having input and output validators for each parameterized query.

Of course, the long term dream would be to generate type definitions from the SQL files, but I assume that would require a heck of a lot of magic (e.g. "actually run a query, figure out what the schema of the result table is, and create a snapshot of that"). I haven't seen a lot of prior art in terms of "static typing of DB access without a big ol' ORM," but I'm hopeful there's some options.

How does pressure affect melting points? I thought the core was like ~6000 C and the melting point of iron is like ~1538 C.

My brain is seg-faulting trying to figure out why pressure would make something need to be hotter to melt. I know melted things generally take more space than solid things (except ice, right?). But why does that have to be? Doesn't pressure affect volume already?

The case of revenge-porn aside, public things are public, and making things public comes with consequences. If you are relying on the current lack of human ingenuity in connecting that public data together, you're going to be disappointed.

The "retirees" are Chevron/Unocal retirees in Arizona (and presumably pension-holders or stockholders) specifically, not general Arizona retirees.
Thanks for sharing that! Really nice to hear from a satisfied user amidst all of this.
No, it's really not any worse. Under both systems, the social credit system is run by some organization that has no real accountability to the people it's keeping track of. China's government is, in a way, "privatized", since it only works for an elite group of people who control it, which if you think about it sounds very much like a corporation.
If it's just a few things like "find all foos that are between 20 and 30 kg" then that might be nothing but building a simple query out of a few criteria. Not all searches need to be or even aspire to be a super-general search like Google. The ebay search probably isn't all that complicated (relatively) for example. If you're trying to make another Google for some strange reason then the article applies more.

It feels that way. As much as I want Mr. Musk to succeed, this doesn't feel any better than the dozens of other small people movers that have been around for half a century or more.

If you don't like lots and lots of noise, then you have no business patronizing a bar or restaurant in America. The same is becoming more and more true of workplaces too. Americans love noisy places, and they love to talk really, really loudly.

If Uber were considered an actual employer, and the US had stronger protections for employment (instead of at-will) then that would make sense -- there's a good argument it should be illegal to fire you merely because customers rate you badly because they don't like your hairstyle or where you come from.

But I'm particularly basing my original argument on the fact that dispatch car services easily become a natural monopoly or duopoly, so customers don't have choice and they need to get around the city.

Whereas driving is a relatively low-skill and low-paying job, of which there are many many others in our service economy -- tons and tons of service jobs. My point is that if you lose your job driving for Uber, you can find another decent-enough substitute job because there are literally thousands of companies hiring. If you get banned from riding Uber, there may be no good substitute because there are only a handful of public transportation options at most, and at a given time/place Uber might be the only one.
Do you have any specific reasons why? Looks like astroturfing.
Yeah, we just set our tracks on fire. It's fine.

(Well, that's the ground-level light rail — Metra — that does that)
Right, so fix that first, don't tell people they have to go to a certain school while you spend another 30+ years figuring it out.

Also blaming it on just conservatism is silly, the bluest most democratic districts have some of the worst problems and solutions. Administrators keep thinking more of the same and blanket solutions address the needs of every kid. They forget that children are individuals. If this were the case, schools in very liberal areas like D.C., Chicago, LA, etc would be amazing and all producing the very best students given their funding and that the school board would be incredibly liberal/progressive.

Talk to teachers, many of them that burn out or leave because of how bad its gotten home school their own kids because they've seen the sausage factory.
