My team follows microservice patterns, and have deployed services that utilise websockets over both serverless (Azure Functions and Lambda) as well as regular hosted services (on k8s, EC2 and Azure App service etc). Nothing stopping you there. On the streaming video side we did an app that used Azure Media services + Azure functions.. works well enough.

Not necessarily a good idea, but one 'feature' of microservices is the ability to pick different stacks, languages and delivery methods on an individual service level.

> If shares aren't a factor in production why does a company usually go bust when its share price crashes?

You have causality backwards.

> What about the Great Depression?

Marx didn't predict it. He predicted a very different phenomenon based on the long rate returns to capital leading to periodic crises, which would end in a revolution and after that he gets a little bit vague.

The Great Depression was an asset bubble that burst with no fiscal or monetary mechanisms available to cushion its effects. It was the most spectacular in a long line of crises exactly like it.

> Marx spent most of Das Kapital differentiating market value and essential value and so it is with shares.

Marx made the same error you're making; which is believing that there is a "true" or "essential" value for anything. His economics was based on the economics of the time, which had not yet solved the diamond-water paradox with the subjective theory of value.

Given the choice of "live with it" and having a wide and increasing array of palliatives to make living with it easier, or "suffer more exercise" that has at least a sunk time cost and isn't necessarily going to resolve the issue or reduce need of palliatives, is it that insane why someone would do the first?

I'm not anti-exercise (barbell squats are the only good thing for my knee that got out of whack from an elliptical) and think "so what's your plan?" when I hear excuses about weak X stopping people from even starting a progression system, but I don't think it's insane to make the tradeoff in favor of "living with it" and I've made that tradeoff myself at various points in life for various things besides body aches.

Quite literally there is nothing that Tesla Model 3 does better, than being a car.

Take away all the whiz bang, all the software, the AutoPilot, the dashcam, the dog mode and the arcade games, the massive touch screen and the smartphone app. Touch nothing but the steering wheel, shift wand, accelerator and brake... and drive it fast and hard on a winding summer road. Nothing can touch it, certainly nothing anywhere near its price point, and nothing that you pop the family in comfortably when you’re done.

Pretty crappy job. That’s funny!

Plant communication is certainly fascinating, but I wouldn't call it a sign of consciousness. Isn't it just another reaction to stimuli?

I can imagine an experiment where some plants are placed in an environment where the communication chemical they secrete interacts with a gas in the air, slowly poisoning the plants. Would the plants adapt by changing their own behavior, or would some later generation survive due to a mutation? If they changed their own behavior, that might point toward a kind of individual consciousness.

Pinning hopes on a technological hail-mary assumes the political, economic, social and technological structures that we have built up to today will continue to be available at the time 'we' decide to put serious effort into a solution.

Many quadraplegic people have limited use of their arms. Pretty much everything I know about quadraplegics I learned from the most excellent documentary, Murderball, which is about quadraplegic rugby, a full-contact sport played in wheelchairs. Athletes are assigned a number based on their degree of movement ability and your team can field a certain total, so strategically you can opt for a larger number of less-mobile players.

If you watch Murderball, which I'd recommend, make sure to watch the DVD extras, which includes an episode of Jackass starring some of the film's athletes.

It depends. Almost all corporate to corporate contracts have clauses about data protection and security breaches. This would allow many of their clients to cancel their contracts with cause. Usually that happens if the business wasn’t getting a lot of value from the service as of late, or the value they were getting doesn’t outweigh the liability.

It’s hard for boards to ignore major breaches if you’re a public company and its hard to win business if you’re known to be lax with security.

The owners manual says that you can't shift to park if the car is in motion.

And it will automatically switch to park if the car is stopped, the drivers door is opened and the driver's seatbelt is removed (also when the car is switched off), so in that regard, it may be safer than a traditional shifter, it'd be nearly impossible for a driver to run himself over with his own car.

If the driver really wants to keep the car in neutral after exiting the vehicle, you can press N, then press it again and hold for 2 seconds.

I don't have a car with a push button shifter like this, but the reverse button is so distinctive that I'd think it'd be pretty easy to orient your hand and get used to pushing the buttons without looking.

I'm not sure if this shifter is on all of the Accords, or just the Hybrid, but in the hybrid there are no other driver gears, there's no transmission at all, just some clutches to connect the engine directly to the wheels or to a generator, or both -- the engine uses a fixed gear ratio when connected to the wheels, if the car is outside a speed the engine can handle, then the electric motor drives the car.
Not sure what you mean, there are all sorts of providers who have been actively on roads for the past few years. Including some giving rides to passengers like Lyft in Las Vegas.

The article makes it seem like they are going to start competing with Uber right this moment. In reality the body of the article indicates that a human driver will have to be employed and that only Waymo employees and their friends will be using them. So in other words, it will be more expensive than Uber and it will only be active in an area where Uber drivers would rather not be anyway.

This terrifies me. Uber is a very good source of income for a lot of people. So google is going to run Waymo at a loss out of their endless pockets and starve thousands of people of essential income? And we are all supposed to dangle on the edge of our seats while we wait to see whether or not this task is within the capabilities of our current technology, with all these people’s livelihoods at stake? This is fucking bullshit. There aren’t good jobs to transition into at the same skill level because of automation and outsourcing. Expecting everyone to go to college, let alone go to college and become programmers, is mental gymnastics levels of rationalization. Rationalizing away the difficult and uncomfortable question of whether or not technology is leading is to a place we want to be and what we can do a about it.

One job after another will disappear and don’t believe for a second that programming is safe. They used to say it about lots of writing tasks that are now automated by gtp2. I would bet most “journalists” could be automated by gtp2 because most of their readership doesn’t look for or recognize high-level order or coherency or even truth anyway. And don’t for even one split second try to tell yourself that high level order and logic are off the table for robots.

Here is a good example. I'm not poor. $30 on a meal means very little to me.

I'm not aware of many low calorie, healthy, quick food options, even if price isn't an issue.

I think that's the problem. You can get $0.99 cheeseburgers + fries + milkshakes quickly, but you can't get a $9.99 salad quickly. I know fast food chains sell salads but... I feel like that's a guaranteed way to not get the full nutrition of what a salad is really supposed to offer.

What are your thoughts?
Or at least tested by a well known 3rd party. There's been quite a bit of research on bicycle efficiency, if this worked I'd expect it to be big news in various bike research related circles.

Like other sibling, I would be very much interested in a talk like this. Teaching networking with real world examples and explaining 2-3 large scale architectures w.r.t networking. Maybe a long video(or small series) and a follow-up on twitch for Q/A. Would even pay for this.

That sounds like a model for computation not consciousness. A JIT compiler would qualify.

This is a misleading argument. If I operate as a sole trader, I am the legal person responsible. If I am the sole shareholder of a corporation, I and the company are distinct legal entities. An unincorporated association is the individuals it is composed of and has very little recognition in law. An incorporated association? Legally distinct and visible to a court.

The objection is that "it's too hard to define legally". Nonsense. Courts distinguish between natural and artificial legal personality all the time. Corporations are a legislative creature. People aren't.

This is a policy problem. The benefits of automation should be enjoyed by everyone in society, not just those with capital.
The medical definition of conciseness includes things like responding to bright light by constructing the iris. It’s not high on the scale, but it’s very much part of the current definition in active usage. So, in practice it’s useful have level of consciousness and as such the minimum can be extremely low without becoming less meaningful.

More importantly as we understand more about the brain we may eventually understand how everything works. Any definition that would then exclude humans as conscious becomes irrelevant.
Costco pizza is great, but poor people don't shop at stores that make you pay just to shop there. They don't buy in bulk because even when it would be cheaper in the long run they don't have the money for the investment or the space to store what isn't being used. Often they don't live in areas where a costco is even anywhere near them. Those in food deserts don't even get regular stores. When time is factored in (prep time, clean up and number of shopping trips required) bad food is unquestionably less expensive.
Why just public schools? At least in California (and I suspect elsewhere), teachers at private schools are paid quite a bit less than public school teachers.

I know this because I used to work at a private school! I did that for two years, then left all of it for a tech job so that I could climb out of student loan debt and actually have a decent life. (The basic issue is that parents can't afford to pay more because they pay twice for education: first they pay taxes to send other kids to school, and then they pay private school tuition on top of that for their own kids. The result is tens of thousands of dollars in lower pay for private school teachers.)

Anyway, the point of this isn't to dump on anyone's school. I just want to help correct the idea that private schools are somehow less worthy of care and attention than public schools are. The truth is that private schools are often in financially precarious circumstances!

You say favorable regulatory environment, but favorable to who? If you have a bunch of regulations that make it hard to start a new ISP and compete with the incumbents, but also get rid of the ones that prevent them from buying each other, it's hard to call that "deregulation" rather than regulatory capture.
