Not the case with VW or Seat 1L or 1.2L TSI engines at 115 and 110 HP. They have six speed gearboxes and supercharged 3 or 4 piston engines on entry level Polo, Golf and Leon models. With two people in the vehicle it climbs well, it runs okay on the highway although with high fuel consumption, it overtakes okay and runs economically in the city. The 1.5 TSI runs faster and burns even less fuel on the highway but it's considerably more expensive.
Food does not leech calcium from the bones. High protein foods improve calcium absorption and increase calcium in your urine as a side-effect. No bone lost there.

> One needs to take that spread into account (i.e. realize that all people will not behave as you do) to get an optimal solution. The question to ask is "What behavior/policy will get the best outcomes given the differing behaviors you will see in society?"

The categorical imperative isn't about "is it likely that everybody will act like me" but "would it be good if everybody acted like me". You'll likely not end humanity if you start murdering your neighbors, because most people will not follow your example. Your murder might not even get noticed, so even the statistics won't change - and yet you'll probably agree that there's an ethical problem involved in murdering your neighbors.

I do agree with you that we shouldn't use Kant as the one-size-fits-all solution. Don't rely on telling people (or people understanding!) not to throw their trash everywhere, just put up a trash can so they can throw it in there. It is a solid framework for judging acts, but has it's weaknesses of course. The whole "the murderer is coming for your friend who is hiding in your bedroom, are you allowed to lie to him to save your friend" thing is something where I don't agree for example.

> > "And in her ears the little Seashells, the timble radios tamped tight, and an electronic ocean of sound, of music and talk and music and talk coming in, coming on on the shore of her unsleeping mind."

> So, even as she rests, Mildred is surrounded by noise, by constant entertainment, just like she is during the day with her t.v. walls. Montag's society uses these seashells for two purposes. The first is to control information, and hence, thought and potential rebellion. If they are the ones controlling what information you get, they can tell you whatever they want, giving only one perspective, and painting a rosy picture so that people are never discontented. They also use the shells to relay important information. For example, when Montag escapes at the end, they send a message through all of the seashells for everyone to look out for him, and to turn him in if they see him. They automatically have a huge civilian army at hand, through the use of the seashells. Secondly, if people are constantly "plugged in," they don't have any spare time for their minds to be on their own. If people never have silence, they never think, and so never have the kind of discontented thought that come from meditation.

As I cast my eye over the FSF's basic definition of free software [0] I can't spot much of a mystery.

If a user don't have those freedoms, then someone else is in control of their software. It is inevitable that sooner or later the situation will change and the person who does have control the software is going to do disagree with what the user wants to use the software for - and at that point the user is the one with the problem.

Stallman isn't using a genius level of insight, but he is avoiding some very common shortcuts people take where they assume that because people are on 'their side' today that they will remain on 'their side' even if the incentives change. They are then shocked to discover that when the incentives change that nobody was ever actually on 'their side', it was just that the shark swimming placidly alongside wasn't hungry before.

I'm usually with Stallman's theories, it amazes me people keep being surprised that liking someone doesn't mean that the person is immune to the incentive structures that surround them. People have a remarkable and underappreciated capacity to make decisions that are good for them rather than good in the abstract.

> Yet, on the other we have human drivers killing innocent people today, which is acceptable collateral damage, even though introducing av technology would help to greatly reduce that number.

Speaking for no one other than myself, vehicular deaths are not "acceptable collateral damage" so much as a statistical inevitability, one sought to be minimized as much as possible.

The problem with introducing autonomous vehicle technology, again IMHO, is the assumption that it "would help to greatly reduce that number."

This is not a known result.
You "expect" why? What is your prediction based on?

There is no data to suggest that this will happen. Furthermore, if self-driving cars do take off, they will continue to be outnumbered by normal cars for a very long time. It's not even clear that they will or should be the majority.

Surely the fact that multinational corporations such as these are able to work together with domestic political organisations to serve their own interests while being able to evade enforcement of domestic laws is an issue.
The unpopularity of the Trump administration notwithstanding, they have a clear reason to want to push in this direction. I can't imagine the Democratic party being quick to act on this issue for the time being, since ostensibly the overreach of these organisations is working in their favor.

Not to veer wildly into politics, but the gajillion places making fun of the right seem to be much less effectual than in the past.

The sensationalism ignores that this tends to be trapped pockets of otherwise wasted surplus energy. Bitcoin creates a global energy arbitrage market for the first time. Energy can't be transported long distance, but it can be used to mine bitcoin. The benefits here are massive, including incentivizing cheap green energy, or the use of mining for ambient heating.

>I hope we can view these incidents in context.

The context is that Tesla hardware is not sufficiently powerful, so they do "optimizations" and ignore stationary objects. This is not a video game where we can trick the player with some clever hacks, if the hardware is not fast enough the solution is to use better hardware and I think is very normal to see in newspaper when "autopilot" hits a wall, it is a public service even if Tesla fans and shareholders don't like it and try to play with numbers to show some statistics to favor Tesla(AFAIK Tesla still keeps the safety numbers they were using to promote their cools stats a secret)

Presidential elections lead the transition in the parties, and you can see this as early as 1948, and clearly by 1964, directly traceable to the Civil Rights Act. Barry Goldwater fought against the CRA, and he won Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina that year.

In the 1968 election you can see the transitional effects strongly, as George Wallace won 4 of those 5 states, and the Nixon Southern Strategy succeeds by 1972 with all the southern states voting Republican. And that was the end of the Southern Democrats. 1976 is an outliar, and it's 1992 before there's a crack in the armor and Clinton wins a few southern states. And the strategy as told by Lee Atwater is hardly a myth.
https://www.thenation.com/article/exclusive-lee-atwaters-inf...

That there are additional reasons why southerners flipped to the Republican party, including opposition to increasingly social liberalism of Democrats, does not mean the Southern strategy is a myth. An example of myth is the "lost cause" of the confederacy, revisionist history.

Does this energy consumption come more from mining (i.e. finding the new bitcoins) or from transactions?

If the former, then the Bitcoin network should find a way to reward nodes for transactions in a more environmentally-friendly manner since mining should (in my understanding) disappear or become insignificant at some point.

> What happens if YouTube is broken up? Facebook? Instagram? Twitter?

If you're going to break them up, you don't do it along those lines. You don't need to have six separate Facebook clones so that five of them can fail or flail around until they get bought back up by the others. Look at what happened with the AT&T breakup.

The lines you break them up on are the preexisting ones. Facebook can't continue to own Instagram and in general major social media companies can't buy competitors. Split YouTube off from Google so that YouTube competitors have equal access to Google's ad network and Google searches don't have any reason to suspiciously favor YouTube videos. That sort of thing.

> It seems safer to also require that any platform that offers free, open access to social media style content not show any bias towards that content unless it is otherwise illegal.

That is hopeless. To give an obvious example, a lot of spam isn't strictly illegal. You do want platforms to filter out content that all of their users want filtered out.

The problem is when they filter out content that some of their users actually want to see, merely because some other users don't want anybody to see it. But there is no principled test for that because the spammers and trolls will insist that they want to see spam and trolling while the censors insist that anything they don't like is spam and trolling that nobody wants to see.

It's inherently subjective. On top of that, you have the "anything not prohibited is now mandatory" problem where you have something which is questionably legal and if you allow it and then a court says it's illegal you're screwed but if you remove it and then a court says it's legal you're also screwed.

The only real solution is to fracture the power to banish into a million separate pieces so that everybody has a little but nobody has too much.
If you are looking for more practical resources related to architectures in the cloud, you should take a look at https://coderecipe.ai . It is a dev community that allows others to share recipes (architecture + pros/cons/limitation/cost analysis + deployment instruction + source code) that can be used directly in real life situations.

If you have one or a few specific domain of architectures in mind, for example “how to do user management in AWS”, you can search for a collection of similar architectures like this https://coderecipe.ai/search?q=%23usermanagement , this way you can compare different alternatives. Similarly, if you are interested in different ways to “Store time series of data”, there’s also a collection of that here https://coderecipe.ai/search?q=%23timeseriesdb. The site contains a lot of recipes that is based on serverless design, so this will give you everything serverless related https://coderecipe.ai/search?q=%23serverless .

I am the founder of this platform, currently we have mostly AWS related recipes but there will be more GCP and Azure stuff coming soon, let me know if you have any questions :)

How exactly do utilities like Teracopy implement high-performance copying? In other words, what are the performance bottlenecks in explorer.exe? Personally, I've observed that:

1. Explorer attempts to do a file enumeration prior to copying, which sometimes could waste a lot of time.

2. It seems tools like Teracopy use buffering aggressively, which can speed up the copying significantly based on my experience on Windows XP with slow HDDs.

Are there any other points worth noting?
