This was last year, but I live off of San Antonio Road and the one day that the Los Altos municipal maintenance staff placed the cones on the median instead of in the lane (I think in prep for the workers to trim the plants in the median), a Waymo self driving car in front of me stopped immediately upon encountering the coned region - there were no cars in front of it or pedestrians or workers within sight and we were going probably 35mph. I'm sure they changed the programming/data for that situation but there are several erosion drop offs on highway one along the coast that are coned off in unique ways, and everyone in a car is going by at 55-75 mph.
Perhaps the loan requirements should be more stringent on fields that are unlikely to support repayment for people that aren’t in a financial position to repay them? Not very different to lending in other areas of life.

Or remove the non-dischargeability and the govt backing at the same time, and let interest rates and lending requirements fall where they may.
But then what's the point of an autonomous car? I'd much rather drive than constantly be checking car instruments.

Exactly. If I am in the passenger seat talking to the driver, I know when to shut up and let them drive. If I am on the phone talking to a driver, there is no indication of them, say, approaching a difficult merge.

Given the abundance of div elements in modern HTML, a CSS rule to set padding in all of them can only make sense in an unlikely minority of abnormally simple and constrained pages. Setting a huge, fixed 15em padding is also highly suspect.

You need to "fight" only in poorly designed systems; UI elements can pretend to have a hierarchical namespace and avoid all interference with other components, and pages can be designed systematically (e.g. box-sizing border-box vs. content-box, padding vs. margin, flex...) to simplify CSS rules.

Yes, well at least they measure something. Critics of IQ often bring up how there are different forms of intelligence that IQ does not capture. While this is accurate, the types of intelligence that IQ does test for have been highly correlated to educational and economic success. Another criticism is that IQ is only useful for western society. To that I would question why then do Asians score among the highest? I think that this line of reason in not completely off-base, I just think it is because western society is more meritocratic. A lot of middle eastern and African societies value force and violence over intelligence. So IQ does measure western success, but only because the west is better civilization.

Because the truth is that the technical work is not the barrier, but rather the grit to grind through the hundreds of little problems that you'll encounter on the way to getting a working piece of code. So "do a coding bootcamp" functions as a rapid weeding process where someone can find out quickly if they're up to the career or not. Then if they're not, they didn't waste a ton of time finding out that it doesn't work out for them, and if they are, then the bootcamp will provide further vectors to progress.

x86 will be around in some form for at least 25+ years as legacy programs require it. Microsoft has played with x86 emulation on ARM, and they've had an ARM build on windows for years now.

We're sorta moving in the ARM direction for certain applications, budget laptops already are flirting with arm to varying success.

I think what we'll see is better compiler/tooling support for cross-compilation for modern programs, and a slow movement towards ARM as it matures in performance/cost.

Knowing where you’re going before you take off is generally a good idea. A paper map may not be the solution—pulling up an online map and figuring out your route before getting in your vehicle is one way and what I tend to do.

I routinely see locals plug local destinations into their navigator-of-choice, though, so expecting people to know the lay of the land these days may be a bridge too far. God forbid there is construction or an accident and you have to improvise!

The first set of points:

> Classes make functions visible while keeping data implied. Data structures make data visible while keeping functions implied.
> Classes make it easy to add types but hard to add functions. Data structures make it easy to add functions but hard to add types.

is known as the Expression Problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_problem.

The last point:

> Data Structures expose callers to recompilation and redeployment. Classes isolate callers from recompilation and redeployment.

is only somewhat true. I suspect it would be more accurate to say that it's a matter of indirection: static dispatch isolates callers from recompilation; static dispatch exposes callers to recompilation; calling a function pointer isolates callers from recompilation; calling a function directly exposes callers to recompilation. (All of this in statically typed languages.) Though this isn't my area of expertise. Perhaps someone else knows more? [Edit: sounds like these "expose" cases often don't cause recompilation either.]
If it fails, they lose their investment, which I believe was only on the order of double-digit millions, which is nothing to Visa. If it succeeds with their investment, they have a tiny amount of leverage. If it succeeds without their investment, they have no leverage at all.

A $10MM investment as a hedge against that outcome makes a lot of business sense, from a risk mitigation standpoint. The size of the investment is also indicative of their relative confidence that it will succeed - if they were sure that it would succeed and supplant their core business, they'd probably be investing a lot more.
Alas that seems a very low bar nowadays.
Accidental cat filter appears on Pakistan official's briefing
RCS solves NONE of the problems that need solving, and only gives carriers another thing to charge for. Specifically:

* the spec is very very complex, and most parts are optional, so no two phones/carriers/manufacturers/OS versions will ever agree on anything but the basic minimal set of features.

* there is no specification for end-to-end encryption, and even if there were, it would be optional (as noted above)

* RCS is reliant on carriers which is idiotic given that they have time and time again demonstrated that they cannot be trusted (SIM theft, wholesale sale of location data, etc). It is not a simple set of packets moving over the internet. It could have been. But it is not!

* Carriers CAN and likely WILL charge for it, because they can and because sadly (as noted above) RCS is visible to them as something more than an encrypted stream of data

* Phone number-as-identity is so stupid, even apple admitted it by allowing <email>@icloud.com accounts to work with imessage. People move countries, they change numbers. Phone number is a stupid identity! Oh, and SIM theft exists. Repeat after me: phone number is not an identity!

Google fucked this up MAJORLY so many times, it is not even funny. Hangouts could have been this, if not for internal politics at google. Another google-created service could have been it too. Before google released their 50th messaging app (or is Google up to 60 yet?), people might have listened and adopted what they offered. At this point everyone is too burned by Google releasing new messaging apps and then sunsetting them year later.

In reality, RCS is a terrible non-solution to the actual problem of rich secure messaging between people with guaranteed delivery and typing indication. It is instead a money-grab for carriers and a data-grab for the NSA. Nice and easy to spy on a protocol with no encryption.

The fundamental problem here is that the cost paid for a good does not directly include the cost to reclaim and/or sequester it. That cost is externalized, and so it winds up seeking a local minima, with serious adverse effects on the total system. If these costs are incorporated, everyone’s incentives are aligned and solutions will be found.

Cars obviously are the problem here. Had the SUV driver been riding a motorcycle, there is a high probability the scooter rider would be alive. But instead of saying to car drivers, "you are operating the least-forgiving vehicle, therefore you will bear the most burden of responsibility", we say, "ran over a bike because your were texting? Here's a $120 ticket, pay more attention next time."
In many cases dramatically so (and I say this as someone who doesn't even like x86 much).

It depends on your application. For small embedded applications where things like BOM or electrical power massively dominate, neither x86 or ARM is worth it (and this is in a world where you can get a small ARM for less than a dollar -- we're talking about CPUs that cost pennies in volume).

For pretty much every "mobile" application (where "mobile" includes not just phones and tablets but TVs, IoT etc) ARM is the majority. Intel BTW had several opportunities to dominate this with non-x86 devices and screwed all of them up.

But for desktop and especially server machines, the two x86 vendors really crush the alternatives (until a couple of months ago I would have said "Intel" rather than "x86 vendors, but AMD is really really hot). They've spent decades going after an architectural point with lots of fast IO lanes, huge caches, lots of micro architectural units, and the result is machines that can get a lot of data in and out quickly and operate on a lot of it at once. Basically they are designed for large sustained workloads. That's an interesting place to be financially, but it's a proportionately decreasing share of the computation market.

It's great to see that ARM-based machines have made strides in supercomputing but those workloads are quite specialized so you can't really learn much of anything from that. I do believe long term that's also a market where x86's complexity will work against it since supercomputing workloads are typically architected around the machine they will be run upon.

You're talking in vagaries, and including me in them, and I don't particularly care for that.

Bottom line for me is that if you want to call assholes being excluded from some spaces as 'censorship', you're free to do that, but most people are just going to call that 'assholes getting what they deserve'.

If you want to argue that we should be more accommodating towards assholes, then I really look forward to hearing that argument.
This comment seems to be ignoring the long and recurring history of the FBI and other government agencies in subverting, persecuting and destroying the lives of those who were peaceful members of left leaning political parties, basically anyone who identified as a communist or socialist... or who knew anyone who identified that way.

Federally guaranteed student loans exceed $120 billion every year. That is a massive subsidy, and it may be increasing costs for more people than it helps. The glut of admissions being able to pay artificially high tuitions is emboldening administrators to add more dormitories every year, expand the administrative class, and build rec centers -- raising tuition even further.

> Last year, FSA provided more than $120 billion in federal grants, loans, and work-study funds to approximately 13 million students at nearly 6,000 participating schools.

Cache is not a solution, it's a work-around. We didn't use caches in the days when memory was faster than CPU.

There's always an adjustment period when transportation options begin to shift rapidly. If you go back and read newspapers from 100 years ago, you'll see people complaining about how cars are a menace and don't belong on the road with horses. Based off of some of the stories about how recklessly people handled some of those cars, you might even be inclined to agree with the anti-car crowd of that time!

However, just like with cars, banning scooters altogether is probably not going to be a widespread outcome. The reason scooters are so popular is because they actually do solve a crucial missing link for many cities, especially southern cities which often have terrible transit options and patchwork sidewalk and bike paths. Then you factor in the crazy summer heat and humidity, and it's no wonder that people are into the idea of a quick, breezy, ride that can navigate on either roads or sidewalks.

Here in Raleigh (which is a fraction of the size of Nashville to be fair ), there is a major problem of pedestrian unfriendliness the second you leave the downtown core or college campus area. The sidewalks are spread out thinly, often only existing along major arterial roads which are hard to cross, and then often only one sidewalk on either side. The back roads which would be safer to walk on in real cities normally (due to having less traffic), typically lack sidewalks at all. So you end up with your options being big empty, sidewalks with no shade or benches alongside cars going 50mph (on a road that doesn't usually have actual houses on it) or tighter roads with no sidewalk at all where people actually live (no benches, but more shade). It's a crappy time for a pedestrian either way and it's no surprise that most people don't want to make use of either option. However, I've found that on a scooter it's actually not terrible. The big empty sidewalks aren't so miserable because you get a breeze, and on the back-roads your scooter keeps up with cars better and has a light on it for visibility.

The issues with parking in bad places could be pretty easily solved with a some infrastructure for racks and geofencing to ensure riders end up there. The helmet issue can be changed by making helmets more portable and widely available. I bought a helmet for myself and my husband just to use the scooters. It's slightly inconvenient, but not a big deal. I can buckle it to my backpack. I'd prefer something that could fold up, or maybe a sharing model (leave a helmet / take a helmet at stations with scooters), but again I think that's something we can solve with regulation rather than outright banning. One thing I've wondered is if scooter companies could install a little camera facing the rider (or require you to take a pic with your phone camera) to verify a helmet is on before starting the ride using ML (like the "hotdog, not hotdog" joke app from the tv show "Silicon Valley").
Perhaps I'm using the wrong terms. My only point is that I'm not a huge food enthusiast, and trying to guess which bacon at Whole Foods will "taste like bacon" is why I prefer a more curated grocery store.

That's not a functional difference since it doesn't affect how the coin functions for users. BCH is certainly more at risk for a 51% attack but the risk is an abstract threat, not something that changes the fundamental nature of BCH. Your own logic actually demonstrates this because if some future event caused BCH to have a higher share of the hashrate then your own reasoning would demand that BTC be considered illegitimate without any technical qualities of BTC having to change.
But they're not using 'rationalism', which is the specific thing term you mentioned. And lots of other fields, likes economics and decision theory, use 'rational' and that term covers the core interest of the 'rationalist' community.

Naming is hard, it's common for lots of people to make 'mistakes' similar to what you've pointed out, and it seems like a very minor criticism of what is otherwise a great group of people united by an interest in important and useful thinking.
