What does outschool offer that khanacademy doesn't have?
How does this manage to connect the real world to a blockchain? The fundamental problem with the promises of insurance/bonds/stocks/whatever on a blockchain is that it doesn't matter what the blockchain says, people's real-world actions aren't tied to it, so it's not trustless. And so the blockchain part is pointless.

Only if all the related elements are all virtual and on the blockchain can it do anything - so we're stuck with gambling and cryptokitties for real world usage.
Congratulations on doing it right with regards to socialisation. Sadly, many homeschoolers (in my anecdotal experience) do it wrong - they tend to be the same ones who homeschool for religious reasons.
> You are proposing to offset economic inequality by degrading the education of the privileged. Your goal should be improve the education of the disadvantaged instead. Raise all boats, don't drain the lake. It's obvious that the United States could spend much more on education and do a much better job with the schools they have. Pinning any significant portion of the "huge cost" of the current system on middle class homeschoolers seems like sophistry intended to avoid the abuses of the hyper-capitalist, atomized system and ignores the actual problem.

I think you're exaggerating the negative effects of sending almost everybody to public schools. Look at Scandinavia, France, Germany (or even southern European countries), the vast majority of people goes to public schools and it's not like the advancement of humanity has stopped there. A similar argument can be made for socialized medicine, a highly privatized system like the American one ends up being: more expensive, more iniquitous and less effective. If you really think that dismantling or undermining the public school system is not going to end like the medical system in the US, well I don't know how to convince you.
This is super cool! I was totally unaware of Open Banking.
Sounds like yet another solid reason to continue to avoid using Chrome.
Are you sure about that? Logitech sells H264-encoding cameras which do yuvj420p ( which is full range as I understand it ).

No, the FDA does that. Apple needs to approve apps because there is no FDA equivalent for apps.
Often those custom search implementations are there because the "page" you're on isn't really a page, the scrollbar is fake, text is inserted and removed automatically as you "scroll", and as a result of all that Ctrl-F doesn't actually work by default. Of course you could argue that these heavyweight designs are a bad idea in the first place, but that's a trickier discussion. I think it's rare that web sites hijack Ctrl-F when leaving it alone is an option -- but I could be wrong about that.
The Irish Nationalist Party once got an MP elected in Liverpool:

In that case, the objective was to argue for home rule for Ireland. And to look out for the large Irish community in Liverpool.

I recommend this (well fundamented as usual) post from SSC:

'Basic Income, Not Basic Jobs: Against Hijacking Utopia.'

https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/05/16/basic-income-not-basic...

I think the main argument should be fundamented by charitable assumption, that most people actually have decent plans for employability and could use the available time much better than being stuck on a Job Guarantee (that could have very low marginal value to the employer anyway).
I have no idea what my Uber rating is, who do you even know?
I completely agree. Until the blockchain can confirm transactions at lower latency I don't think the 0x protocol can provide a stand in replacement for a centralized exchange. I'm currently working on a project that goes about settlement a different way so trades can be confirmed instantly given a little trust. If you're curious, here's some details on how it works https://merklex.io/blog/decentralized-clearing-network/
This is an interesting question that's above my pay grade. I would love to hear an answer from a knowledgeable lawyer.
> States with good programs don't want freeloaders to move in. They often require you to be a resident for a while before they will help you - the idea being if you come with the intent of not being a freeloader and something happens it is bad luck.

I've only heard of this for university tuition. If a student starts university in a state school, and their parents move to the state they have to pay out of state tuition for 2 years. States with good programs are usually liberal ones with high taxes. Discriminating on the basis of origin for disability services seems like a good way to piss off liberal voters. If you can find documentation to demonstrate that someone with cerebral palsy would be denied services because they moved there from out of state, I'm all ears, but I find this claim is dubious.

> It isn't unheard of for states to pay to move someone to a different state just so they to get that person out of their system.

This would help him move.

> It feels more likely to imply that "we have no hard evidence".

There is hard evidence of the vulnerability, which logically follows from any OTA update capability, but there may be no hard evidence of exploitation yet.

Think of it this way: if your software has a RCE, you fix or mitigate it regardless if it's actively being exploited or not.

> Are you worried that your iPhone or Tesla will be hijacked the same way?

That's a very valid concern for some people.

Ultimately, software security boils down to "who do you trust?". Say what you will about the US, but your goals and values are very likely less incompatible with those of the US than with those of authoritarian China [1] [2].

Maybe that’s part of the play? Here is a breakdown for subway costs: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DVW4_dgWkAAtjsE?format=jpg&name=...

What if you actually reduce track / signaling / control / facilities cost massively by virtue of using self-powered autonomous vehicles? Then the math could start making a lot more sense.
Oh yeah, for sure. Though they do need to store the "Library" I've saved, and the playlists I've created (for example).
Don't forget there is a Firefox Developer version that includes additional devtools.

This is a case where you hope it flames out in a big, obvious fashion, with lots and lots of false positives, as opposed to being merely kinda bad with a few unlucky saps being barred (or dis-barred, in this case) but the badness never being serious enough to discredit the concept.
Chrome serves me just fine nowadays. Unlike you, I'm not some kind of Gandhi of the tech scene or anything like that. If it serves me fine I won't stop using it. If Chrome ceases to support adblock extensions then I will go look for some other browser, I would probably change to Vivaldi or anything like that, or even Firefox, they sure as hell will be there.
I've personally encountered the same kind of thing in Chicago and Houston outside of the major business districts.

I've recently been living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I don't think I can recall even seeing a taxi in the area anywhere other than the taxi stand at the Detroit airport over the past 6 months.
Even rocket scientist have fairly bad foresight, see space debris as an example.

The reason these plants are reasonably cheap is that there are rows and rows of uniformly hooked up and distributed easy to access solar panels.

What you're suggesting is best accomplished by a government subsidy on solar panels. But then individuals own them and we won't have a way to recycle them when they all go bad in 30 years.
At this moment, as a consumer, I'm more concerned about Spectre mitigation impact, power draw and cost - among other things.

And currently, AMD is definitely winning there, and it may be my processor of choice for the next few years, until Intel fixes shortcomings in all those areas. 10nm is a step in the right directions, but the price/performance ratio is nowhere close to the mark.

But that's just my take on that.
Successful, long-time drivers do not waste there time with this pettiness. Nor do they waste time talking to reporters about insignificant issues like this when that time could be better spent actually making money. I've been driving on and off for 5 years now and all us veterans on the Facebook groups laugh at how silly all the constant nitpicking is.

As with any rating system, there will be outlying bad raters. That's why it is normal for absolutely no one to have a perfect 5 star. It's really not a bid deal.

Maybe it's unfair, but I can't help but think of Brave as just a scheme to push their cryptocurrency. They're removing the website's ability to monetize and replacing it with their own system. That seems gross.

Some general backend and web work, and some blockchain stuff as well.

The latter is the opposite set of tradeoffs. Completely permissionless, but lots of riff-raff and scammy nonsense going on.
And: Hyperloop actually made sense when you put it in the context of mars. You want transport to link your distant colonies. By running it in tubes you protect it from the storms. And to top it off there’s an extremely low air pressure on Mars so you don’t need to evacuate the tubes like you did on the earthbound proposal. It made no sense on earth but sorta makes sense on Mars. I’m pretty sure this is where the idea was born.
The Guardian view on Facebook: power without responsibility
It's there perhaps an angle with inter-exchange trading?
> It isn't unheard of for states to pay to move someone to a different state just so they to get that person out of their system.

It isn't unheard of for states to involuntarily ship people to other states for that purpose, either.
here's a full example. If you do this:

function test(p: {k: false | 'x' | 'y' | undefined}) {
// do stuff
}
const p = {k: 'x'} // inferred type: {k: string}
//...
test(p); // type error : Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'false | "x" | "y" | undefined'

The problem is that the type of p.k is inferred to `string` not `x`. The compiler can't know this is fine because you could call `foo(p)` in between the declaration and the `test` call, that mutates p.k.

If you add `as const` or an explicit type to p it is fine.

Ratings tend to be skewed in various ways everywhere. But it's particularly extreme when people know the norm is to give a perfect score for any transaction that didn't have serious flaws--especially when you know lower scores have material negative real-world implications for individuals trying to earn a living.
Quid: Invent Challenges Developers to Think Big for Small Payments
Why does the old man need to learn programming? The developer already knows how to do that. If they're going to do things together anyway, let the developer do what he does best, and let the old man do what the developer can't (through his life experience, people skills, marketing savvy, or whatever). That way, you avoid two pitfalls:

1. The illusion that anybody's first web app can be an immediate success.

2. The hubris of techno-utopia, a.k.a. "learning to code is the solution to everything".

On that note: don't be preachy. Stories that are meant to "teach lessons" or contain "lots of social messages" are rarely good stories. Tell your story, make it a good story, and let the reader figure out the lessons for him-/herself.

Nonetheless, despite these criticisms, I like your core idea :-) I've never heard of an open-source movie being produced, but perhaps you can turn it into a (collaborative) novel?
Index funds are limited to public companies, which implies a certain size. That said, across a fund manager's assets are a lot of small cap and mid cap funds, which explicitly target smaller companies. In that sense, index funds do not only target the top companies.

If you mean top as in performance, that is also not the case. Index funds are based on the premise that they do not aggressively pick winners and losers within a sector, in contrast to active funds. This lets index funds hire fewer staff and charge fewer fees. Economists generally agree that over time, index funds outperform active funds on a risk-adjusted basis after accounting for fees.
That's how I understood. Instead of laying cables, the packs are moved back and forth between the charging site and the tunnel drilling machine.
> I had drivers who were clueless about using a navigator

I absolutely despise when drivers ask me the directions when their GPS is telling them right in their face.

That being said I've only ever rated a driver low once, and that was because that person probably should have never had a license to begin with.
Not really, it could be that the great filter is apathy and single world habitation for instance - maybe we've been really lucky in terms of asteroid collisions so far and putting our eggs in two baskets is the necessary step for survival.

We don't know what the filter is, so it's sensible to reject pessimism and just keep on trucking.
I sincerely hope permissionless solutions make such permissioned solutions obsolete. There are people, who by accident of their place of birth, are not permitted to use permissioned financial systems.
Somewhat related: The last version of Chromium said "Press Alt+F and then X" instead of Ctrl-Shift-Q when I tried to quit it using that key combo.

Unfortunately, Alt+F is trivially overridable by web pages (Twitch.tv in this case -- to move to the search bar), so that doesn't really work.

Chromium devs have no idea what the impact of their decisions are... and judging by the issue trackers they don't care.
I actually went to town on the features for the search on an internal project... And all anyone ever uses is pulling up tickets by number or by client or technician names.

"It has x, y, z features that the Google search has..."
"I didn't know Google did that."

There's even an explanatory popup with how to do anything fancier than a straight text search.... But they just really use numbers and names. Advanced feature usage is once in a blue moon.

At least they're happy with the search function, but lesson learned - for a lot of usages, people aren't expecting much more than a simple text match.
Since you are making the more extraordinary claim, you need to provide evidence that your computer usage practices are 100% infallible to sophisticated attacks against you by people who know a lot about you.
From what I've read the Max has 2 AoA sensors, but reads from only 1 at a time, and MCAS chooses that 1 sensor randomly.
Well said. Exactly right.
I think I'm social enough, but who knows. I always respond with conversation when they're interested.

But this is their job, and I'm paying for the service with my money. It's not the passenger's responsibility or obligation to socialize with the driver. The passenger's responsibility is to be there on time, not mess up the car, and pay.
Also much, much easier to solve, and more than possible with existing technology. May require more clean energy but it can be solved.
on linux fsync (I think).

On windows FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH ("Write operations will not go through any intermediate cache, they will go directly to disk").

It's all there.

I agree with other poster, just cos you read back the file and it compared byte-for-byte, unless large it's likely to have come from the OS's RAM file cache.
The above comment pointed out that they abandoned the idea of moving personal cars, they will now have large proprietary vehicles that only travel within the tunnels and have seating for a bunch of people. Aka, trains.
Lambda school is far and away the best version of this so far. I went to an alternative "bootcamp" but now recommend Lambda School to everybody who comes asking, owing to following Austen Allred on Twitter and judging him a person of good character and with a strong understanding of what makes an institution like Lambda valuable in the long term.
i really appreciate what elon musk is doing, but to be clear, he's not strictly trying to make tunneling cheaper for mass transit.

as i understand it, the high costs of transportation projects are a political problem not an engineering one. well-run subway projects have been completed at $50-100 million per mile, while most such projects in the US are 5 to 10 times that. that's attributable not to sticter safety standards or excessive land costs or public agencies being inefficient, even if those things do contribute at the margins. it's because so many constituencies laden these projects with deadweight costs (lawsuits, foot-dragging, overcharging, kickbacks, etc.).

while his engineering leadership is exceptional and that contributes to lowering costs, elon adeptly sidesteps much of those constituent ladenings, perhaps through careful choice of goals and projects and sheer force of will. for all his faults, he seems to have the right blend of vision, skill, money, charisma, and motivation to bring these projects to completion without a lot of deadweight loss.

so the boring company's technological advances just won't translate to cost reductions generally in underground transportation projects. even if a project uses the boring company for the tunneling, the large infrastructure contractors will find ways to extract their generous slice of pie. we need political/social/economic solutions to reduce these costs, not technological ones.

What you need to assemble your own space station (2007)
It is already a massive problem and it will only get worse.

Again, emissions are only a small part of the pressure we put on the environment.
Deforestation, loss of natural habitat, dwindling fish stocks, pollution at large, and indeed emissions: These are all caused by ever more people needing ever more resources.

This has nothing to do with eugenics, which has a completely different meaning.
Compared to the land lost with a 4°C global temperature rise that's a pretty good tradeoff.
It's also extremely unreliable. That's why you need coal/gas to supplement wind.
> Vaccines, and reducing child-mortality (and other health care), for example, are not inherently energy-intensive. Neither is massive computing power and storage (data centers are ripe for being carbon-neutral).

They may not be that emission-dependent in principle, but their supply chains might. Remember that for any technology we want to keep through changes, we also need to keep its entire supply chain in some form - from raw material through all specialized processing steps, plus populations and transportation required. These may not be so easy to decarbonize, though I do have high hopes, especially if and when electric vehicles finally take over.

> This might have the additional benefit of slowing down population growth even more, resulting in sustainable levels.

Or it may have the exactly opposite effect - accelerating population growth. So far the only thing that seems to solidly correlate with population growth is the development level, and that correlation is negative. I.e. as countries become wealthier and consume more, their population growth rates decrease.
I specifically wrote "There's plenty of failure that needs to be dealt with all around with those accidents." That means Boeing, the airline, the FAA, and the pilots. To say that any one action is 100% of the cause is incorrect. Every point of failure needs to be corrected in the chain of events leading to the crash.

When you're trying to make airplanes safe, matters of taste, politics, emotions and legal culpability have nothing to do with it. The NTSB has a very good track record of dispassionately sticking to the facts, and I am looking forward to reading their report.

AI Uses Echolocation to Identify What You're Doing
The math on this is highly questionable:

The contract posted on the LVCVA website projects an
operating capacity of 4,400 passengers per hour using
“autonomous electric vehicles at high speeds,” which
might include a Tesla Model X or Model 3, or another
Tesla chassis converted into a 16-passenger shuttle.

There are two tunnels involved, so to manage to get 2,200 passengers through in one direction per hour, you're going to have to get 36 passengers out of whatever vehicles and 36 passengers into those same vehicles every minute.

The only way this can work with Model 3s or similar will require a loading/unloading experience similar to the Test Track ride at Epcot in Disney World, including the line and the numerous staff helpers to make sure you are buckled in.

Combine that with also needing to move those people down to the station and back up to their destination, and the likelihood that any of the three stations are in a location you already are or want to be, I'm not sure how useful this is going to be.
Firefox has session restore, which also works when the browser is closed abruptly. Is it now working for you?
