As someone who lives in Chicago, I would caution against taking the claims in this post as face value. This specific point is not true:

>3) Without adequate funding, crime has skyrocketed as the city continues to crumble, unable to provide basic services. This hits the poor disproportionately.

The demographics of the city are changing rapidly, anyone who lived here “years ago” and thinks they know about living here today is working with old data.
Wow, why?

Also I suppose that's good for him, employee salaries are always forced down/up to the average of the company. So if you figure out you're really good at your company it's probably the time to find a higher paying job. And if you're bad you should cling on to that job.
I’ve never heard of Detroit as being a low tax city. In fact a quick google found a couple of lists showing it to be the second highest taxed big city in the country. And didn’t the last city tax increase get voted down because economists consulted said a tax hike would actually lower revenue, with the reason given that high tax payers would just move?
I'm annoyed this post ended with an open question. I was hoping it might at least have some ideas, as I do agree that verilog is a horrible abstraction layer.

However, I don't think an ISA for FPGA can exist, not one that that allows for quick synthesis.

Sure, you could drop down to a layer where everything is described as LUTs, FFs and routing; But you still need to run "place and route" before you can execute it, and that the expensive part of synthesis.

That's common. What you will find is that venture capitalists actually don't try to "kill" your idea - they will try to help you work through it. As an engineer, I guess, it helps to be skeptical in general. We are used to vetting technology, not business ideas.
Agreed. They perfected the UI with 8.1.

It appears Windows 8 was developed for mobile first and then shoehorned onto the desktop version of the OS. On desktop it felt like an ugly, unpolished incomplete mess, two OS running side by side at the same time.

Windows 10 brought much more polish to the desktop, the modern apps integrate much better, more and more setting dialogs get ported to uwp.

But at the same time the mobile version of 10 felt less optimized than 8.1, almost like a compromise between desktop and mobile. While that helped getting closer to the goal of a unified experience between desktop and mobile, this was ultimately the wrong vision anyways. And ironically now that mobile is dead, what is even the point in continuing to transform Windows 10 away from win32 to uwp? I'm aware they still have the Xbox which also supports uwp apps but here I see even less of a reason to create this cross platform experience.
"Free software" has a very distinct meaning.
Yes, and he goes on by saying "So, any way you look at it, race is coming on the back-burner." It's an argument that, by the 1980s the main parties were no longer focusing on race in their campaigns, and that all that was left from that POV was a matter of voters still holding on to those issues and trying to figure out who was on their "side", more or less sub-consciously. He's responding to your implied argument (it was around back then, too!) by saying that some voters will always be trying to hear "dog-whistles" out of something, and that there isn't much you can do about it other than leading that attitude change in a proactive way and patiently waiting for the voters to follow.

Of course, most people who bring up that selective Atwater quote won't tell you that. Sadly, you've been misled by a piece of political propaganda. Here's a blogpost discussing that Atwater quote rather extensively: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2013/06/what-did-lee-...

>The original comment was about the "right" conditions for internment camps for Japanese Americans.

No it isn't, it is clearly about using the current topic as a starting point to then explore the broader issues for human cultures in general and is quite obviously not about the specifics of US politics, no matter how much you may try and misrepresent what was written in order to narrow the scope to that.

"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."

It is useful to understand those points where the show diverged from reality. It was a show and we can’t expect 100% accuracy, but it’s good to know what was and wasn’t dramatic license. To be fair to the show though, they did actually highlight some of these divergences in the show itself at the end of the last episode. It’s really unfair to criticise a show for deviances from reality, if the show points out those deviances itself.

On the helicopter crash, if you look again at the scene they do show the helicopter hitting a crane cable. It is implied the pilot lost control due to radiation exposure but that is never stated. I have no problem with them moving the incident from later on to when they did, that’s just artistic license.

On the volunteers that went in to drain the tanks, we know now they received survivable radiation doses, but there would have been no way to be sure of that before hand. I have no problem at all with how this was dramatised.

With the mining to cool the core being unnecessary in the end, they say in the show there was something like a 50% chance this was unnecessary. I think this is one of the things they point out at the end of the last episode, but that’s just going on memory. No problem with this.

On treating the exposed firemen and plant workers as hazardous, this actually happened. It may not have been medically justifiable, but people were kept away from them on the basis there may be risks of exposure. Also the loss of the baby is never explicitly blamed on radiation, they just say some people believed it. That’s probably true.

Most importantly IMHO they make it perfectly, explicitly clear in the show that the risk of a follow up explosion was a thermal steam explosion, not a nuclear explosion. The fear was that the molten core would burn down into water tanks, leading to a massive steam explosion, blasting radioactive material over a very wide area. This was a genuine concern at the time, and if it had happened could very well have had the consequences they describe in the show. Conversations much like the ones portrayed about this did happen. This criticism is completely unfair.

Pins. Loved the idea. Unfortunately, they often go missing. Loading the browser, about 15% of the time, I get the "oh this is embarrassing" screen, with "restore your session". If I don't restore right then, all pins are gone. For good. Forever. I've lost way too much time recreating those over the last couple of years.

Have never had this happen ever in Chrome. I can't say it never happens in Chrome ever - maybe for someone it has - but not for me. However, I don't even know how to report this. "My pins get lost". If they're just special tabs, and tabs are known to get lost, is this even a 'bug'? Or just... "I'm doing it wrong" (as in, expecting pins to be more useful than they are?)
Firefox Lockwise and firefox sync are really good synchronizing tools. Between the two services, they do a good job of keeping my desktop, laptop, iPad and Android phone in sync. Since lockwise integrates with Android and ios' built in password manager systems it works everywhere including in apps. I don't feel like I am missing anything over the first party options.

I've been a Firefox desktop user for years, but I just switched to the Firefox mobile apps. On the iPad it's fine. It's basically safari with Firefox sync. On Android it feels like someone finally made a full powerful browser for mobile. You can run standard browser extensions and that is a big win for me.

Readers: reducing your emissions will make a difference, not just your reduction, but you will lead others, who otherwise might feel alone, to join you. And after reducing small things, you'll find it easier to reduce big things.

Eventually large number of people will reduce large amounts of emissions. Corporations, governments, and other institutions will follow.

You will make a difference. You will also find after reducing driving, flying, meat, etc, that you'll wish you had changed earlier. You replace those things with other things you like more.

China has 4 times our population and has been a unified country for most of the last 4000 years; they have a homogeneous population and a long long history of a Chinese identity, and were the worlds biggest economy and military power for most of that time. The last two centuries have been an aberration due to the fact that Europe figured out capitalism and the use of fossil fuels before the rest of the world. TLDR; china will overtake the us imminently and this will be a reversion to the historical norm

The main reason I stick to Safari on my Macbook is that I still get significantly better battery life from it than either Chrome or Firefox. Chrome has also switched to a UX breaking requirement to hold cmd+q to quit instead of just tapping it. I'm sure I could configure it back to what literally every single other app on my Mac uses, but it's incredibly annoying that they think they are special enough to deviate from the OS design.

After spending my first summer in Chennai this time after a decade living in the states, I wanted to point out some things:

1. Water crisis is bad but a good fraction of people (most of the upper and middle class) are getting by through exploitation of ground water. My guess would be half of the city still has usable ground water accessible through bore wells including where I live. However these Wells going dry is a common occurence. Someone is digging a deeper well every day in my street alone (no exaggeration). Heck, my house with 4 tenants is already exhausting it's 5th borewell. The day these Wells collectively stop giving water is when things are going to get very interesting.

2. The government here doesn't really consider water as an utility it's actually responsible for. All the articles you see are mostly talking about drinking water. The pipe system in the city is barely capable of only providing drinking water to most people even if most of the water sources are full. It is everyone's assumption that if you need more than a few tens of liters per day per person for things like showers that's completely on you, not the government. This is not going to change anytime soon. The entire plumbing system is riddled with leaks everywhere and no metering. People have also built systems to abuse this plumbing (by using motors) so unless we get a sudden abundance of water this system cannot provide the water the city needs.

3. Most importantly, if ground water runs out, the city really doesn't have any alternative for water in any developed country sense. No usable River for hundreds of miles and every river that CAN provide water originates in a different state and none of them are prepared to share their resources.

4. Chennai the city alone has more people than most Scandinavian countries. The desalination plants are not going to provide more than a few tens of liters per head even if their capacity multiplies by ten.

5. While there's always blame on people here for wasting water, I'd argue that it's outrageous. Even the worst offenders don't waste that much water compared to any Western standards. My household is definitely in the lower quartiles of how much water we use but I estimate we use at best 50-70 liters of water per head per day including everything. Even if I don't want to think like this, I subconsciously think twice before using the toilet (maybe if I hold it for a while I can go one less time?). People here should not be blamed for abusing water, water should be a basic necessity for our lives.

6. Just three years back this city literally drowned in a flood that was far worse than what happened in Houston.
Believing that we'll be able to reach the 1.5°C goal[1] (much less th 2°C goal) is starting to look unscientific to me.

David Roberts put it this way:

> Basically, stopping warming at 1.5C would involve an immediate, coordinated crash program of re-industrialization, involving every major country in the world. It would be like the US mobilizing for WWII, only across the globe, sustained for the rest of the century.[2]

This is not happening and will not be happening because the the way our economic system is structured. Any country that wants to go first with the regulations needed will meet severe economic consequences. And well, time is too short for truly substantial coordination.

Deep adaptation[3] is our only hope. That and doing everything we can, considering the limitations imposed by geopolitics and our economic order, to slow things down.

Is it just me or did it sound like the author was complaining the whole time?

"FPGAs aren't evolved like modern processors with standardized programming models, so we must throw out the current model but I have no idea what is better."

Having worked with FPGAs, I can understand his complaints about the toolchain, they absolutely suck and are mostly closed source. This technology is just like microprocessors in its infantry, its evolving.

FPGAs have made crazy progress in the last decade and are getting to the point where it's now affordable for hobbyists and consumers to work with them instead of merely just aerospace & defense contractors with massive hardware budgets.

The problem with Verilog as an ISA is that it is too far removed from the hardware. The abstraction gap between RTL and FPGA hardware is enormous: it traditionally contains at least synthesis, technology mapping, and place & route—each of which is a complex, slow process. As a result, the compile/edit/run cycle for RTL programming on FPGAs takes hours or days and, worse still, it’s unpredictable: the deep stack of toolchain stages can obscure the way that changes in RTL will affect the design’s performance and energy characteristics.

Yes, RTL varies significantly from the actual hardware of the device (LUTs, Memory, Peripherals, etc..) but from a design standpoint, I don't see anything else that would make more sense to work with. FPGAs are significant BECAUSE of the fact that you get build and design at that level. Let's not forget that ISAs are a higher level abstraction of RTL...

If anyone from the Firefox team is reading this: containers are a great idea (I love them), it’s just that currently they’re too much work. Even on AMO, there’s now a bunch of site-specific container addons (Facebook container, Twitter container, Google container, etc) which clearly isn’t scalable.

A little bit of UX work is clearly needed to make them more mainstream and a first-class feature in Firefox.
I'm getting extremely pessimistic about our chances at stopping this. It looks like even though we drastically reduce our emissions (which looks very much unrealistic) we haven't yet factored in all these variety of negative feedbacks that exacerbate the problem even more.
It looks more and more like the chain of negative effects like the lost albedo effect, the methane released by the melting permafrost and tons of others will create a unstoppable runaway reaction. :(
Yes, in the same way that Illinois is a part of the US or that Mars is a part of the solar system or that the a moon orbits a planet.

However, a book about illinois, Mars, or one specific moon isn't really the same subject even if it is part of the larger subject. Illinois is not California any more than Mars is Earth.
NAT - regardless of firewalls or anything else - requires explicit config to allow packets to a host behind NAT. That’s is a security feature. Carrier grade NAT makes that even clearer. Note - I’ve configured non Firewall NATs - still requires explicit config. Some load balancer are basically non firewall NATs
ccTLDs are based on ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 codes, except some older ccTLDs before this was standardized (e.g. .uk instead of .gb) and a special case (.eu). It is also governed by a different entity/policies than gTLD (ccNSO instead of GNSO)

There was also a case where a country was removed from ISO 3166-1, resulting in ccTLD being removed (transitioned to other TLD). See .yu[1] which has been split into .rs and .me because of Yugoslavia breakup into Serbia and Montenegro.

> We've had fake news and media for years. People wisen up

I haven't seen much evidence of this. Now we've got a significant portion of the population who calls every news report that conflicts with their view of the world fake news and then turn around and consume media which has been measurably shown to be among the most inaccurate available. All of this behavior is supported by the President of the United States. When will people wisen up?
