“Only” is a distortion enough, and also using the number from +2 deg prediction in the +1.5 deg context. If I’d go through it I could find many more of these “muddying the water” techniques. As I’ve quoted the IPCC in that specific case reports the results of the specific scientific paper which is much more precise than what is “distortedly” presented. There are exact criteria specified under which the estimates hold, they are precisely calculated and if you don’t trust the paper you are free to point to the scientific errors, if you find any, which I doubt. But summarising it like it’s just some random guess is precisely the distortion I point to.
Of course, bad design is also caused by human error.

So let’s say the airplane gets damaged, and one of the flight controls is no longer available. A legacy airplane would still try to use that surface because it doesn’t know any better. The F-35 digital flight control systems will say, “That surface isn’t doing much for me anymore, so I’m going to have to compensate by using some other things. Maybe I’ll have to move them a little bit more to get the same effect because the pilot still wants to turn left.”

This is definitely tough. It seems like society has two competing goals, we want women to be able to compete at a national/international level, but we also don't want to have to put people in one bucket versus the other.

I don't necessarily think that punting the decision to the "weight/tested algorithm" solves this hard problem. I think you'd create the equivalent of minor league vs major league. With a few women in the minor league and none in the major.
My answer is single payer in the long term, and consumer protections in the short term. Sorry you don't trust government; citizens are who decide how government runs. Private insurance isn't accountable to anyone.

Yeah, this is basically what I'm saying. :) Labour codes are developed over time. In the beginning, it's the wild west. Want to be a janitor and not use any personal protective equipment? Go right ahead! After workers keep getting sick, the government begins to legislate requirements around health and safety.

Awareness of mental illness is a relatively new thing.

They include, as an example, monthly psychologist visits which continue after the person stops working for the organization. They also include training for the person's family and social support groups.

Prediction markets are interesting but I don't think they've taken off at all.

One of the larger issues with Ethereum is that Solidity, and the EVM as an extension, make it really, really difficult to write correct, cheap contracts.

Off the top of my head, choices like:

* uint256 as a standard word size

* the possibility of reentrancy attacks

* overflowing integers wrap around

* contract upgrades are non-trivial (particularly upgrading solidity versions using an upgradable contract paradigm).

* Operator semantics are confusing

* State mutability is not as explicit as it ought to be

I know bad language features like hoisting were fixed a while back (and maybe some of the stuff I listed as well), but many of us are stuck on pinned older versions of solidity because upgrades.

Questions like: "what transactions are present for a particular address" have non-trivial answers. Key management is difficult even for experienced users, as are addresses and identity management.

There is some momentum toward using WASM instead of EVM in future Ethereum versions, but I honestly think the proper move is to develop and use a standard language for the purposes of building secure financial contracts.

Running a full-node and keeping it healthy (let's say with state pruning, i.e. not a full archive node) is actually pretty difficult. Most people probably use infura because of this. I still don't have a great answer on how to properly determine that a node (geth, unsure about parity) is effectively 1. up to date and 2. healthy (i.e. can be load balanced), making it difficult to automate stuff like load balancer promotion / demotion.

Last week the gas price on the network went up like 20-40x for 4-5 days because of an individual contract spamming transactions with a high gas price. It seems like few people noticed and few people cared.

There's currently a big drag on Ethereum prices from the legacy of the ICO boom. During the boom, it acted like a double-pyramid-scheme: the only way to invest in ICOs was to buy Ethereum first, which made the price of ETH skyrocket, which meant for eye-popping dollar values raised by ICOs (denominated in ETH, not dollars, so the top-line had to be multiplied by the ETH price), which attracted new investors into the market, which raised the price even more, which meant that early ETH investors were sitting on large paper gains, which made them even more willing to open their money and fund ICOs, and so on.

When the bubble burst, this pyramid scheme works in reverse. Many ICO companies were holding the bulk of their assets in ETH. To convert that to dollars to fund operations, they all need to sell, and they're all fighting over the same shrunken pool of incoming ETH/USD dollars. So as more of them sell, the price dropped, which forced even more to sell, and so on.

IMHO the worst was actually the capitulation last December, which saw ETH go down to $85 from a high of $1200. (Possibly not coincidentally, this capitulation started right around when the $40M raised by a typical ICO declined in value to the roughly $5-7M that's a typical Series A.) But until ICO companies go bankrupt or start shipping useful products, they'll be a continual drag as they liquidate ETH to pay salaries.

I consider the error types to be a useful information that should absolutely be part of the method type.

If a method can fail on IO that's different than if it cannot fail. And the surrounding code has to account for that.

So, you might think that the methods are interchangeable if the error type is not present in the signature but this is actually wrong. Different failures have to be handled differently.

(I assume that you are /not/ talking about valid error cases in the problem domain that also might have to be handled)

I don't think of YC as an accelerator, but maybe that's where things are headed since we (InfluxDB) went through in W13?

Originally it was enough to have a few people, an idea, and a prototype. I think that was the model for the most successful YC companies currently out there (Dropbox, Airbnb, Stripe, PagerDuty). Some didn't land on their actual idea on product until after the batch (Twitch).

There are certainly companies that come in with a baked product and the start of some real users/customers who then use their time in YC to juice their numbers and raise big rounds at crazy valuations right at the close of the batch. However, I think what YC offers that is unique (and a real strength) is that they back completely unknown founders very early in their process of building a product and a company and give them the connections and advice to help build something big.

The YC series A program strikes me as more of an accelerator.

>> Humans have always shaped nature

Tell that to Antarctica, or to Everest, or to the vast oceans. Until the last century mankind's presence was slight. We lived in the nice places that we convenient for us. Now we live everywhere, or at least our trash does. The idea that humans are part of the natural world, that we need not curtail our behavior because we were put here too, is quasi-religious dogma promoted by climate deniers. Humans are different. We have abilities vastly beyond any other species. That comes with responsibilities, responsibilities that cannot be sidestepped by declaring us just another mammal looking for food.

Companies derive so much value from third party JS that it's pretty much impossible to not use any third party JS. There's some paper on it that I can't find right now but the average site has dozens of third party resources and the number increases with largeness (more popular sites, which correlates with larger companies, tend to have more third party dependencies) and over time (it was less ten years ago). It's not just third party libraries embedded in their code, but products they're using on their site.

In general I agree that you should minimize unnecessary JS, especially simple libraries like the "left-pads" of the world.

Exactly the point. But on some cars pretty much everything requires you to interact with a touch screen (cough, Tesdla, cough), and even if it does not, there's usually not enough buttons.

On my wife's Sonata, e.g., sure, you can switch the screen between map, nav. entry, radio, etc. with physical buttons. But after that it's all touch screen.Thank God they at least left alone knobs for the climate control...

Cats are trash for rodent control. They spend too much time playing with their 'food' and not enough time actually killing it. Dogs are much better at killing rats yet we don't let dogs roam around outside willy nilly.

Most rodent control in the modern era comes from modern building techniques and materials, as well as waste disposal networks, that keep rodents out of our buildings and away from human sources of food. Go to a neighborhood with well maintained buildings but no cats and you'll find fuck-all rodents. Go to a neighborhood with run down buildings and a million cats, and you'll find a billion rodents.
Not sure if sarcasm. In fact the whole point of Drawdown is to enumerate all the possible fruit, both high and low hanging, and come up with numbers justifying their picking in parallel. So yeah, refrigerant management is part of the solution, and you can check their numbers for how much it would save and how much it would cost, and that is done deliberately to avoid nonsense like "why are you bothering with air conditioners?!".

In contrast, the upthread comment seemed to be arguing that a blanket bill trying to establish a regulation framework for climate change is insincere because of minutiae about NYC's mismanaged transportation infrastructure.

Going back to your snark: it's the equivalent of "Throw the whole Drawdown plan in the trash because China has too many air conditioners." See the problem with that logic?

Wait, what? I think that's going the wrong direction.

There are quantum(-specific) phenomena that contain true randomness -- i.e. no amount of knowledge will make the result more predictable.

Those phenomena get harnessed to interact in a certain way to produce use computations. Such devices are quantum computers.

But if you just want the randomness, you don't need the computer part. You just measure the quantum phenomena and don't bother to make the interactions happen in just the right way to do (other) computations. The "computer" part is irrelevant for that use case (random number generation).

By analogy, this sounds like "how to turn a (classical) computer into a heater". Same issue: running a current through a wire creates heat. Certain setups of said wires also produce useful computations. But if you just want the heat, you just need a regular boring resistor; you don't need to make it into a computer as well, though you're free to use whatever heat it throws off as well.

Edit: Okay, on further reading, that is what they mean by a quantum computer: one that just takes such measurements and where you can specify a distribution it samples from. But, just to clarify, this is not the kind of quantum computer you hear about generally, where it solves factorization or simulated annealing or something.

As in the quote from Scott Aaronson, it's not the most interesting thing you can do with a QC.
I've done WCAG / ADA work over the last two years and it's been a wake up call for government funded organizations and even small businesses, not to mention designers, developers and staff who manage content.

From my experience, most of these lawsuits are "predatory" in nature. Law firm finds a sympathetic case, sues as many orgs as they can, and collects massive fees along the way while the web developers get thrown under the bus, or also collect massive fees (yay?!?). The same can be said for "workshops" that teach people about compliance.

Passing automated WCAG tests, vs actually following the "spirit" of compliance are two completely different things. I've spent countless hours attempting to get my code to pass automated tests, just so when I pass back to the client they don't throw it back in my lap, despite my code being fully compliant and accessible.

We also do design work, and work with external designers with no concept of accessibility. Often (most) times, clients dictate the design and often make decisions that violate accessibility rules. Color contrast, "wiz bang" features are the two most common violators. Full accessibility limits design freedom considerably.

I met with a 100% government funded org just last week and told them their (hundred + page) site (no CMS) was not in any way compliant. You should have seen the look on their faces. They then proceeded to show me websites they like, to inspire a redesign project and NONE of them were even remotely compliant despite all the examples also being gov funded.

20-30% in the cost increase to make a new website project fully compliant. Retrofitting an old website? The cost could easily exceed the initial development.

To be clear, I'm not saying websites should not be compliant, just that ... it's messy and the guidelines aren't always clear. Aggressive law firms are only making things worse.

Final note: The accessibility capabilities of social networks are ... not good. Where do you post transcriptions of your Facebook video? Where do you specify alt tags, or "long descriptions"? The list is extensive.

Final final note: Once your web developer is "done". Your staff who blogs and the content creators that fuel this work can ruin everything. Staff training is often overlooked.
