It sounds like the author doesn't quite know how cookies work. It's great that Firefox does cookie blocking by default, but it's not like not doing that is chrome-only -- and it's not chrome that's setting all these cookies, it's the internet advertising business.

It'd be more honest to write an article about Firefox breaking bad internet standards in the interest of the user, and another one about internet tracking being out of control.

Chrome has issues, and it'd be good if it blocked more cookies by default, but the headline here is way overblown.

The headline might even be apt with a different article! But it seems we all want to be believe the headline so much that we didn't read past it.

Edit: the article this was duped into has a much better headline.
Simply don't. Arguing that protestors should not enter the mine "because its dangerous" and beating them up to get them to stop entering doesn't make sense. This is similar to the recent Tweetstorm I read about a woman having a panic attack and the police shouting at her to calm down.

In this scenario the senior officers in charge should've known this would never work and ordered their men to stand down.

Actually I expected this to be about his current activities. What would be his largest mistake with respect to effective altruism?

A mistake there is about the life or death of thousands of people. Maybe more.
Unfortunately I am not surprised that there is support for these things. There exist some deeply unpleasant people who seem to exist in a permanent state of vicarious sadism. Essentially they like people being mistreated by other people. A not insubstantial section of the population are thoroughly entertained by the situation these children are in. They are generally the same people who become extraordinarily pleased at the first sign of war.
>Every school system has succeeded in whitewashing the history. Almost no one in America now knows about the camps

That's not true. The internment of Japanese Americans in WW2 is taught about in school, and almost everyone knows about it, although not everyone necessarily cares, and some Americans will defend it (and even suggest that maybe doing it to Muslims would be a good idea.)

The US doesn't really "whitewash" its history, nor practice mass indoctrination or nationalist brainwashing through its educational system, to the degree some believe. Learning about our history, and learning from our history, are two different things, though.
LOL, no shit. must be proud to be working in a shitty company.
Reading that statement horrified me and sent me back here to comment on it.

There was literally nothing these people could've done to prove themselves. If authorization were granted to fully exterminate them, this person would've gladly run with the order.

As terrible as this whole time period in American history was, it's even more terrifying to think of just how close it came to being even worse. And it all would've been justified and swept under the rug, and instead of being given a half day of US history class as a passing mention of "yeah bad things happened but it won't happen again", maybe given 2 days of study and a "we definitely learned to not do that again".
I don't think that OP is comparing Rust and Go. Just pointing out how with Go there is a list of points of criticism that are frequently brought up, and he's asking if there are pain points that can be raised up in a similar way with regards to Rust.

Chromium is free software. Chrome isn't, by any stretch of imagination.
Well, no, because in Portugal - for instance - the environmentalists are also protesting against Lithium mining.

I mean you're welcome to your opinion but the US putting its own citizens into concentration camps really didn't help Australia at all, much less the US, so I don't know why you would defend it.
The type of drones this is talking about don't fly at 10,000 feet. There's a big difference between a predator and a DJI phantom with an IED strapped to it. That is really what this is meant to stop.
The problem is launching enough missiles. Interceptors are expensive to develop, but cheap to make more of, and have relatively low cost of command and control (it doesn't matter if one gets launched by accident, right now). ICBMs are expensive to develop, expensive to make more of, and are expensive for command and control (because if one gets launched by accident, the world ends). So it's always going to be cheaper to make more interceptors than ICBMs.

But beyond that, interceptors make the entire targeting situation more complex. If you've got 1000 warheads, and no defenses, you can hit 1000 targets (not actually true, because you have a certain amount of failure rate, but anyway). If you're facing 10 interceptors, and some of your targets must be destroyed, then you have to launch enough warheads at each target that must be destroyed to still go through even if all of them are intercepted. So now you have ~90 must destroy targets you can actually hit with your 1000 warheads, even though you're only facing 10 interceptors. Those 10 interceptors have effectively negated 900 enemy warheads.
It’s worth reading through Phillip Opperman’s blog series (https://os.phil-opp.com/) where he writes about creating an OS in Rust. Not necessarily for the Rust part, but it has lots of nice info on how a modern system is bootstrapped.
The link in the answer titled "state machines" is a bit misleading, since it directs to the Wikipedia entry about Finite-state machines. But most computers (the ones we are talking about here) are Turing complete rather than being a (computationally much more limited) finite-state machine.
Now if only someone would invent an energy-storing liquid to power our cars.
Give the Firefox Containers a try - they are a far better experience than Chrome's profiles IMO. You can define multiple containers for different use cases or personas, and all the browsing and history and cookies from that persona stays within that container only. There is even a special Facebook container, which always opens Facebook in a separate container, so FB can't track you across different sites.

That's not right. People spend vast amounts of money and time on fun and entertainment hobbies education pleasure and leisure.

It's misguided to focus only on finding problems that need solving and pain that needs alleviation.
Probably because Safari is IE6 of today. That's pretty much as far from "the best" as it gets.

Not really, it requires huge investment to drill underwater and associated infrastructure to transport water. Besides it still requires desalination, on which it will compete with on-shore desalination plants and continental aquifers(until they run out, the cheapest option).

May I suggest a book called Countdown to Zero Day by Kim Zetter?

Its main focus is to talk about Stuxnet, but it goes into quite some details to put that attack into context. Under the deal that the US pulled out of, IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) had the authority to walk into any space in Iran under any suspicion that they might be building a nuclear bomb there, overwriting any local law that might prohibit them from doing so. That deal is still in place, because other seven signatories weren't stupid enough to pull out of that agreement (including Iran).
A lot of the business of middle managment is spin.

A legion of inexperience developers that you can shit on to work day and night can be spun into your managment being the saviour. A drama free experience contractor that does 9-5 and just delivers can't.

It goes all the way to the top though, because business is driven by those who can't really question or see through the bullshit.

Plus most of the experience guys will walk in the face of all the uselessness.

Destroying their ability or willingness to make war. Doesn't need to be occupation, but if they can still fight, you haven't won yet. And destroying cities usually doesn't do much for stopping them from fighting. It mostly just makes them want to fight harder.

The US lost the Vietnam War because we lost the willingness to fight. We can't effectively end the Afghanistan war because we can neither keep them from fighting, nor keep them from wanting to fight.
Yeah, except it is not clear this in fact was "over international waters". The U.S. says it was, the Iranians say the drone crossed into their airspace. Now I know many take the U.S. word for it, but given the escalating rhetoric, given Iraq, given people like John Bolton are in the administration, I wouldn't.

Moreover, as I said, the U.S. knows Russia is not about to conduct a surprise bombing raid on them, so does Russia know the same of the U.S. - They both have nuclear weapons and doing so would be catastrophic for both sides. Iran on the other hand expects a U.S. bombing raid any moment and in fact Trump just admitted one was ready to go ahead, so it's a bit different.

In fact, I suspect the U.S. knows all this and provoking a reaction from the Iranians to support further action from the U.S. was precisely the goal of this drone.
> don't build reactors in areas threatened by tsunamis and earthquakes. Germany is safe from both, so using Chernobyl and Fukushima to justify shutting down reactors in Germany, or even worse, stop construction of new ones, is borderline insane.

The real issue with fukushima was simple — in case of a tsunami, the emergency generators would be flooded and fail, and the connection to the grid might fail.

Pretty much all German reactors are in the flood plains of major rivers, and many of them had issues with the emergency generators being damaged by floods already. Or had issues with the grid connection failing. Luckily not both at once.

Considering these are all ancient reactors from the 60s and 70s — not even two-circuit pressurized water reactors, but single-circuit boiling water reactors — this is actually quite risky.

Add the multiple-billion-euro effort to build a storage solution, which has so far failed, and led to nuclear waste in a salt mine leaking into the ground water and causing issues, and you can start to understand why nuclear in Germany might be problematic.
Your speculation of what America was close to doing to Japanese Americans sounds much like the quote you are commenting on.
From my limited experience using it (while teaching an intern how to do web dev), the Dev Tools are horrible and byzantine for some use cases - seems like while Chrome super charged their Dev Tools after the blink fork, Safari's got stuck in the past.

I find Firefox's Dev Tools far better, except the JS debugging tab, which is behind Chrome's on almost all counts.
I think part of this depends on the school. The ones I attended would completely skip sections regarding the ~1,000,000 civilian deaths during the Philippine American War, the blunders in Korea and Vietnam (my classes basically said "they happened" and then the rest of the year was Civil War and WW2 movies), and there was absolutely zero discussion of American affairs in Central/South America and events leading to the Middle Eastern situation today.

Schools and teachers aren't 100% standardized in America. Some have thorough history programs. Some absolutely do brush over a lot of bad parts in history, and my high school in the South was one of the types to say "The Civil War had nothing to do with slavery." Our biology class also had a huge disclaimer about evolution and how nobody had to, or really should, believe it, but they were just required to teach it.

So I think when some people talk about how ridiculous/amazing the school system is, it's because that's just their experience. Schools are completely different depending on what state or even what part of town you live in.

The real reminder is to be aware that under the "right" conditions most people would actively or passively support such things being done to their fellow human beings. The reminder is to be wary of setting the stage for those conditions to materialize.

No problem.

I think that feeling is extremely important when learning new things. It show's that you are starting to build a model of the problem space and filling it with things that were non-obvious to you.
The entire American condition is held together by paranoia. If there isn't a credible external threat then it turns on itself:

The idea of a soviet expansionist theory that actually impacts the US is laughable to enough of the population

Nobody powerful actually believes the teachings of Karl Marx except to placate their internal public

People kind of seem to understand that interference in the middle east creates danger from very specific people who dont represent everyone, not really protecting us from anything

so now that paranoia leads us to ideological introspection, in the absence of a common enemy

It gives Russia a rapidly shrinking amount of power and since those gas dependent countries can always switch back to coal, the risk is basically zero except in a war.
You know what's worse than a buggy product? No product. It's better to launch with a few bugs that you can fix and iterate on the final product design than making the perfect product that no one wants.

Also, the question could be reworded to refer to not just bugs but also features since a startup will often pivot in some way even after launching which users will have to deal with.
Anaconda is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Here are a few reasons:

1. Continuum analytics doesn't have a real business model and someday it will go away.

2. In the bad old days, before wheels, there really was a problem integrating C libraries with Python. Wheels work basically the same way conda packages do, so there is no problem. You can get an "official intel MKL" numpy, the only trouble is that (officially) the python packaging system has no way of saying "these N packages all satisfy the same dependency and you can install the one that is best for you".

3. "Testing together" is a wild goose chase because the combinatorical explosion of different libraries you could test together is practically unlimited.

4. Anaconda for a long time has been unable to package a "tensorflow-with-gpu-that-just-works" because NVIDIA won't let them. Without that, the window is broken and Anaconda is not giving you a problem free experience.

5. Numerous things about the way Anaconda is implemented make it slower than it has to be by a lot.

6. Since Anaconda doesn't confront all of the problems I've mentioned above you will still need to implement stabilizers to stabilize it, and if you're going to do that you can just build on wheels and have fewer things to understand, have go wrong, etc.
I know one of the authors who worked on this; he described it as "decimal floating" because he insisted "there's no point".

Seems he was right: even IBM didn't do a hardware implementation after Power 6 IIRC.
Nowadays "Windows" usually refers to "Windows NT"; not Windows 9x or Windows CE.

Windows NT was highly portable. It ran on PowerPC, Alpha, Itanium, and a whole lot of other architectures. The same is true for iOS.

This reminds me of something I read about memristors.
Once they get cheap and fast enough to be sold in gb or tb sticks they might replace ram and ssd's/hdd's for some computers. This would allow a computer to boot once (at the factory) and then just return to the state it was when powered on again.
The more optimization in boot times, the higher the maintenance burden.

I think this can only be solved on an architectural level by introducing "specialization" in a "general" manner. In other words, have a supervising process monitor times and adjust the system to the local hardware and software demands. The adjustments to be good probably require some kind of learning mechanisms, which you also don't want to have in a kernel itself. Just my two cents.
Coal towns are still a thing but solar towns never existed.
Almost every developer at some point will be approached by someone to work for free for some killer idea that that person had. In those cases, I found it useful to have them fill out a checklist list this, or put together a multi-page Executive Summary and a Business Plan. You'd be surprised how quickly you can get someone off your back and them off their idea, if they now have to go and do some actual work. And you never have to say 'no' and get that person offended.
I dislike the idea of the startup for "solving a problem". Problems are very specific, personal and not so broad as other options.

In fact:

1. Not everyone has a problem.

2. Not everyone is aware is having a problem.

3. People bear problems. Even the worst ones (ex. health).

So, why build your startup around a problem. Why don't you better build it around a "need". A need would be much stronger usage driver than problems.

Not really agism, but I've noticed that companies are super relucant to pay extra for experience. They put their price tag on and think that's the end of it.

There's a company local to me that's been failing to deliver on their digital transformation for years because they can't hire the skills they need, but they refuse to interview me based on price, despite the fact it's costing them more to not deliver.

I dunno, I’ve seen plenty of startups killed by the mentality that calling their shitty product an ‘MVP’ somehow makes up for how shitty it is.

If the pain point you are solving is big enough, people will accept buggy and slow products regardless. Sometimes its better to ship, especially if you are testing product market fit. A bug free, slick, with awesome tech used, is worth nothing if no one is willing to pay for it/solves a big enough problem.
