every issue salawat mentioned wasn't something that would result in violence and deaths today so its not refuted by citing current statistic.

They're warnings for the future, because while its true that we're currently living in a pretty safe environment and are overall pretty well off, our children won't have that luxury.

Once these issues actually start getting reflected in global statics, its going to be way too late to actually realistically pull this proverbial ship around.

And he didn't even mention half of the things on the horizon with the potential to seriously harm society such as global warming and the evermore increasing amount of automation destroying the livelihood of a lot of people.

> 10B humans could live sustainably for a long time. The pain involved in the latter is fairly small.

That is far from clear. But whether or not this particular data point is defensible, it misses the larger point. (And you are not alone in this. This missing-of-the-point is my point.)

There are really two separate problems here, a short-term one and a long-term one. And by "short term" I mean like the next 100 years or so.

The short term problem is that our rate of carbon emissions control the third or fourth derivative of the economic impacts of climate change. We could drop our carbon emissions to zero tomorrow and still not avoid many of the negative impacts of climate change because we're still at >400PPM and will be for a very long time no matter what we do in the coming years.

The long term problem is that our entire global economic system is predicated on the assumption of eternal exponential growth in something, and that is not sustainable in the long run under any circumstances. At some point we're going to have to transition to at least polynomial growth, more likely an actual steady-state. AFAICT no one is even thinking about that.

There's an easier way - don't implement AMP.
Because you can check. Open it up, see what it does. Use Wireshark to inspect traffic.

More importantly, anyone can check, and many people have. Imagine the scoop that "the mute switch does nothing" would be for a tech journalist.
But in this particular case, it's the company doing the recordings, not the owner of the device, so it's a slightly different situation, in my opinion.

That said... The owner could be liable if for example it were necessary to explicitly inform of the existence of such devices the possibility of being recorded.
Know that even in all party consent states, if you continue talking after being made aware that the conversation is being recorded implies consent. This is why devices like google home are legal, they make a loud warning sound before they begin recording. For example in CA the law states that:

> (a) A person who, intentionally and without the consent of all parties to a confidential communication, uses an electronic amplifying or recording device to eavesdrop upon or record the confidential communication, whether the communication is carried on among the parties in the presence of one another or by means of a telegraph, telephone, or other device, except a radio, shall be punished...

(b) For the purposes of this section, “person” means an individual, business association, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, or other legal entity, and an individual acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of any government or subdivision thereof, whether federal, state, or local, but excludes an individual known by all parties to a confidential communication to be overhearing or recording the communication.

This whole thing reads like a security response driven by marketing and branding considerations. They put a lot of work into that seamless experience they're so proud of, apparently without security professionals being involved.

These factors point to a company that fundamentally doesn't take security very seriously. That's not a fast, easy, or cheap thing to change. I suspect it won't any time soon.
My understanding is those maps were for display and not actual use by sailors. The creatures are meant to be fun and fanciful to the not so adventurous person who keeps it on display at their home and uses it to entertain guests.

I base this on buying a few very old maps. One with California as an island, well after it was understood not to be. Simple things were pretty novel in the past.
That’s no excuse. These jets were doing a multi-agency testing operation to test out the new networking features for the jets sensors. Which means ships and satellites and other things were deployed in the area during the sighting in question.

I find it highly questionable during such a deployment only two jets in the same area (ie, the same light refraction area) saw the anomaly but nothing else did.

The entire point of these new networked systems is to have multiple sources to increase accuracy.

Additionally, satellites are always watching everything all the time. Multiple catch asteroids flying extremely fast all the time. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-asteroid-peril-isnt-science... (scroll down to see videos)
IIRC, the way they did it was to hook onto the local rail line; probably just long enough to get the train onto the "spur" - then move the tracks back.

Doing that just takes a lot of people and labor (you've probably seen old films of track laying from the late 1800s-early 1900s).

They wouldn't install a switch, as that would be too costly for something so temporary; so they probably just broke the track, moved it sideways a bit, connected it to the new "spur", moved the trains/cars onto it, then reconnected it back to the original line to allow traffic thru. Then basically the reverse to move in equipment to dismantle/haul away the remains.

Since they're making a portable-only model, it would make sense to have a stationary-only model as well.

> Science should not act like a club with first class and second class members.

Science isn’t the club; academia is.

Normally, when we say “scientist”, we mean “academic scientist”—i.e. someone who does science specifically for the enculturated ideals of academia (e.g. the advancement of common knowledge) using the process of academia (e.g. writing papers and sending them off to journals, attending conferences, etc.)

(You might define “academic scientist” in other ways, with something about a treadmill of papers and grants, but I would point out that any definition of academic science has to include tenured science professors, who aren’t subject to the same forces.)

Since academia (i.e. the global cooperation of academics to further knowledge by writing, reading and reviewing papers) is seen, by academics, as an unalloyed good, they see scientists who don’t take part in said academia to be doing something strange, something perhaps sub-optimal for the furthering of scientific knowledge.

And I feel like that’s maybe true, but also often misjudged: many “citizen scientists” are actually academic scientists. They may not be funded by a university or submit papers to Nature, but they collaborate and are in constant communication with people who do, such that their work isn’t advancing the boundaries of science any less optimally than their own work is.

Just the first example off the top of my head: Destin Sandlin, who some might call a “citizen scientist” (he’s a YouTuber who does science journalism but also often his own scientific experiments) works more heavily with “academic scientists” to do his experiments, than most University grad students ever even bother to do. He might be a “travelling” scientist instead of belonging to any particular institution, but he’s certainly an academic through-and-through.

The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users [..] we expect that advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers.

Hoping the user doesn't notice that you've been using their resources has always seemed like an awful gamble to me: both in the sense that you're deceiving your users by pinning the blame on other websites/their browser/their computer in the their mind, and also in the sense that you're just making it more likely that someday users will have access to this information.

OpenBSD has radeondrm enabled on mips64, powerpc and arm64. It can initialize the board just fine without emulating x86, since KMS. Working 3D acceleration is another story.

I've been writing C++ for 21 years now (started when I was 14). To be honest, I have never seen a solid case where move semantics provided added value (in terms of code readability and maintainability) over just passing object references as function parameters.

With front-end development getting increasingly popular, I think backend is starting to become just a thin wrapper around database. If database can be securely locked down enough, a lot of business logic can be shifted to the front-end.
In Munich, where I live, for example, we have bike lanes on the sides of most streets throughout the town, and dedicated bike paths in the countryside. It's wonderful - cyclists can drive safely the speed they'd like to, without interfering with neither cars nor pedestrians. I use my bicycle almost exclusively for anything up to 20km.

As others mentioned, you can block their user-agent. That will stop most crawling. They have some bots that use browser agents to see if you serve different content to non-google bots.

To block those, you can feed their IP's to haproxy or iptables ipset.

fetch_google()
{
for line in $(dig +short txt _cloud-netblocks.googleusercontent.com | tr " " "\n" | grep include | cut -f 2 -d :)
do
dig +short txt "${line}"
done | tr " " "\n" | grep ip4 | cut -f 2 -d : | sort -n | uniq | xz -9ecv > _GOOGLE.netset.xz
};

In HAProxy, you could include the decompressed version of that IP list with something like

acl BOTS src -f bot.txt

Then either redirect, reject, silent-drop.

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that the age of HTTPS-All-The-Things hasn't led to a resurgence in the use of Basic Auth. As you note, the security problems that have been the big knock on Basic Auth for decades are completely obviated if your whole site is served over HTTPS.

My guess on the reason why is two-fold. First, we've been telling people that Basic Auth is a terrible thing only stupid people would use for more than two decades now, and once a lesson like that gets hammered deep enough into the mass consciousness it tends to stay there even long after the underlying facts have changed. And second, using Basic Auth means giving up any possibility of styling/designing your login experience and relying instead on the browser's built-in dialogs, which tend to be clunky and ugly in the extreme.

> If every child had a computer or iPad, she could log into a customized cyber classroom and learn at her own pace.

Who determines what her own pace should be, and how do they do that?

One of the biggest problems I've had when learning things on my own has been pacing. Suppose learning the subject requires first learning A, then B, then C, and so on, each part building upon the previous parts.

I'll tend to end up spending too much time on some parts. I might, say, get stuck on B because I'm not confident I'm good enough at B to move on, even though my B is actually sufficient to support C.

Other parts I don't spend enough time on. Let's say I find D uninteresting, but am really looking forward to E. I'll tend to rush through D, just getting a superficial understanding, and move on to E without adequate preparation.
Move semantics is the language support for shallow copies. If you never use shallow copies, fine! But a lot of code bases use shallow copies, and it's a valuable tool.
I am currently struggling with Google and been even considering just straight up creating a Brazilian "Yandex/Baidu" clone or something somehow.

My current business is heavily Google reliant, and Google been proving to be a very poor business partner:

* Keeps punishing my site both in organic rank and AdWords rank (thus price) for not being mobile, despite my site being intended to be viewed by engineers with big screens.

* They remove frequently whatever features they had to avoid wasting money, the one that offended me the most is that I can't anymore advertise on mobile websites unless I also allow apps too, and apps are purely fraudulent clicks, babies don't buy industrial parts...

* Google refuses to take care of fraud, I've visited the top sources of clicks on my display campaigns and there was comments for example on store pages explicitly complaining it was pure fraud, and Google does nothing about it (example: one source of clicks was a flashlight app on Android that opens ads whenever the user turns the flashlight on, clicking the ad is only way to turn it off again)

* Google often randomly stop my ads and search because bogus reasons, requiring me to call them to fix it.

* They removed from AdWords interface the max click price when the campaign is in automatic mode, in the past this was very useful to find out if their AI was bugged (like one time it insisted on setting max cpm to 0.01 despite average cost until that day being 1.20...) or oberpricing me (charging ludicrous prices per click)

Their product (ad publishing, not search) is crap, but they have literal Monopoly, all other ads publishers I tried gave me almost zero clicks...

Only thing I don't tried yet is more traditional ads, but I don't have money for that (for example TV ads)

I honestly don't know why so many governments with strong antimonopoly laws tolerate Google shenanigans.
Building it into the language has the advantage of enabling fiber code in all libraries. I think rust is making a huge mistake here.

The reason it's even possible to retrofit fibers into old Java code is because all the threading and async stuff is built into the language. Unless you're using native code enabling fibers will be as easy as switching out thread pools that your threads use.
True. And even with public transit, activities like taking kids to soccer practice / music school requires carrying some equipment along. Not really convenient lugging duffelbags if there is more than one kid.
> individualized learning is also part of montessori, and, it has been championed by the OLPC project as one of the possible outcomes of giving a computer to every child.

It was not championed by OLPC as merely one of the possible outcomes; individualized constructivist education was the motivating purpose for the project, around which hardware, software, and content development was organized.
I’ve been using Soulver for like 12 years and it’s one of my favorite and most-used apps.

There was a huge amount of time between Soulver 2 and 3 so I gladly paid for version 3 (even though it doesn’t sync with iOS which isn’t a big deal, and some features haven’t made their way over so I still keep 2 installed).

There might be decent alternatives but at this point, I’m so used to Soulver I don’t want anything else. Plus, the new Alfred workflow is really good.

Yeah, I don't understand this post. There are billions of pages out there without AMP and Google indexes them just fine. If you don't wanna implement AMP, then just don't implement it. You don't have to completely block Google over it.
