Do you not naturally do the same thing in your own life? If you're hanging out with some friends and want to recommend a certain drink or food, do you say something like "Oh my god, you've gotta try this, it taste so good," or do you pick up the packaging and read off some of the ingredients list and nutritional facts? Would you first say some cookies should be tried because they're "delicious," or that they are worth trying because of the measurements and other particular properties? Or, going to the extreme, would you say I should try something because of certain gustatory and digestive processes afforded therefrom, which create a positively stimulating sensation, as transmitted by the parietal lobe of the cerebral cortex?

> But in this scenario the police are unprompted at your door and their first ask is to come into your house. If the police just want to talk to you because they're concerned about you personally they'll just ask to talk to you in a place they wouldn't otherwise need a search warrant signed by a judge to enter.

"Their first ask is to come into your house" is based on a quote Vice took out of context (and then blew up into a nice big sub-headline to give it a bit more 'emotional weight').

The second part .. if the police is concerned about you they ask to talk to you where they meet you. For the type of person where this intervention happens this will probably be their home most of the time.

I always wonder where people get this idea that the police (and law enforcement in general) are all crooks breaking/bending the law to get you, but will have a problem to get a warrant if that's really what they want. Maybe too many crime shows?

What do you think about the tendency of glibc to use the latest available instruction set extensions for routines like memcpy? Should we be worried that when we call memcpy() in a program this will effectively mix some wide-datapath instructions into the CPU's instruction stream with potentially hilarious consequences like clock throttling? What's all that about?

When discussing the safety of nuclear power most comments seem to focus on the number of deaths. While death count is tragic in itself, it doesn't capture the full extent of human drama.

Consider this

Fukushima

"the nuclear accident was responsible for 154,000 being evacuated"

"In December 2016 the government estimated decontamination, compensation, decommissioning, and radioactive waste storage costs at 21.5 trillion yen ($187 billion), nearly double the 2013 estimate."

Chernobyl

"In 2005, the total cost over 30 years for Belarus alone was estimated at US$235 billion; about $301 billion in today's dollars given inflation rates."

"between 5% and 7% of government spending in Ukraine is still related to Chernobyl"

Lynx was widely used at my university when I started there in 1993. I remember vaguely not liking Mosaic and other early inline graphic browsers, not because they weren't revolutionary, but because they were too slow on our relatively slow networks and phone connections.
I'm with @jeremyjh on this one. There was no management. There was a "fuck it. works for me." kind-of half-assed implementation that was frankly terrible when compared to ANY of its contemporaries. It spawned a ton of competing "package managers" that attempted to do a better job but none of them "won" (probably because none were officially sanctioned) so you ended up dealing with like six of them in order to manage the dependencies of whatever random project you tried to work with.

No-one "managed" the problem. They just sat and watch the community flail around for years.

What does the implementation language have to do with anything? Sure one could complain that the program is slow/buggy but I don’t think that has much to do with whether one likes the implementation language or not.

Those are irrelevant as they can't even do basic tasks like shutting down the computer or restarting it.
Feel free to find a POSIX API for Linux' reboot syscall.

Some systems also require mounting additional filesystems, again not possible in a world limited to POSIX interfaces.

Sandboxing, SELinux, ...? Not in POSIX.

And so on.
I'll put in out there (at the risk of being downvoted) : an extremely destructive/insensitive world around a developing child, as a fetus or later, is to me one of the root causes of autism. See Bruno Bettleheim's theories (refrigerator mother, The Emtpy Fortress, etc).

"Autistic people have the conviction that their efforts have no influence on the world, because in the past they were convinced that the world is insensitive to their reactions."

This comes from my personal experience.
You are generally free to decline to talk to the police. You definitely do not have to invite them into your home. Your rights around police interaction are very similar to those in the US.
>>One thing I've found interesting in talking about Chernobyl is that advocates of nuclear power are often willing to accept the Soviet numbers as fact, since they confirm the idea that nuclear power is still relatively "safe" even in case of disaster.

The other posters mentioned the trade-off, or people die in plane crashes but many more would have died had they taken the car. Power needs to be generated one way or another...

Also, can we agree that the Chernobyl plant's design and management might have been lacking? New models are much safer.

This "older parents" hypothesis is thrown around very often, but it's entirely based on correlational studies (obviously, it wouldn't be ethically possible to do it in a controlled study).

And there's a very plausible alternative explanation for that correlation: Autism is probably at least partly genetic and autism impacts social interaction. It's very plausible to think that it simply takes people with autistic personality traits longer to find a partner to have children.

At the same time, I would hope that Canadian police is a bit more trustworthy and trusted than US police.

I certainly wouldn't want that kind of visit from police officers whose primary concern is to find a reason to arrest or shoot you, but if police is honestly trying to help and prevent problems, it's an entirely different matter.

Police culture, policy and accountability matters a lot in a case like this.
>infinity itself is something that cannot be embedded in a finite program

I am not sure what you mean by infinity here, but there are many ways in programming to handle infinite streams in an otherwise finite program. Python's itrrtools.count and the ability to map and filter over it would be a basic example.

Indeed I could argue that every game's or webserver's event loop is embedding infinity in a finite program.

The fiduciary duty was to eBay. Which means eBay wanted craigslist to make more money, either through ads, data sales or both. Craigslist is so comparably benevolent, any additional revenue would have exploited its users.

The lawsuit also involved reversing the staggered board elections craigslist put in place specifically to prevent eBay from gaining access to confidential material.

Both the share dilution and board procedural change were done in response to ebay’s surprise launch of an attempted direct competitor to craigslist.

Both sides claimed victory, and eBay did not end up influencing Craigslist in any way. So it is hard to paint it as much of a victory. [1]

And whatever you think of craigslists slow, stodgy UX and feature set, it is hard to imagine if eBay had gained control having some positive impact on the site’s destiny apart from some comparably exploitive direction.

Ebay wanted first to make money off craigslist, and failing that to get info that would allow their competing biz to do so.

>I don't understand why fertility rate is not a bigger consideration for people who consider themselves interested or invested in social progress. Fertility

From their perspective, the right thing for their societies to do is to progressively go extinct serving each member's personal convenience. Fertility, outside of personal choice as a lifestyle accessory, is something for the deplorables and the developing nations. Some are so educated that they expect miracle drugs in the future will keep them young forever (solving the pesky non-replacement problem).

(They also rationalize their societies extinction in that the world is "overpopulated").
>No. The reproductive bracket has remained fairly constant in the last 100 years - i.e whether people get to 70 or 100, reproduction stops at ~50.

You're looking at the wrong thing. It's the life expectancy of the children that matters most, not the life expectancy of adults into old age. The reason the number of women in the reproductive bracket has risen is that more of those births are surviving to child bearing age.
Yet Linux is full if half-assed undocumented cruft despite Linus' vigilance. It's just gigantic. He doesn't care much about how great your new LSM, IO scheduler, FS is, if it's relatively sane, and you don't do crazy things elsewhere in the code, he'll pull it. (Nowadays it's not directly him.)

As a library author, I am very, very nervous about doing anything that might cause clock throttling. After all, you will not see a 2x gain from twice the SIMD width (there are many other limiting factors, and of course, Skylake issues 2 x 512b operations max vs 3 x 256b ops).

Even if you did get 2x, you would have to balance that against clock throttling in circumstances where you have no idea of the _relative_ importance of your library. Are you 95% of the cycles, or 10%?
> anyone can assume the worst could happen, and when it did happen in Chernobyl

The miniseries makes it clear that the absolute worst outcomes at Chernobyl were prevented through huge effort: water was drained from the tanks under the meltdown, so there was no steam explosion that would have smashed the other reactor cores as well. The meltdown then did not burn through the concrete and into the groundwater table.
