The far right seems mostly to be denying the science, at least publicly. The far left accepts the science, but is in denial about what an effective solution would be. (E.g. a carbon tax in the US would do essentially nothing in the big picture, except create an economic disadvantage vs China and the rest of the world. Mass adoption of veganism, even less.) Both sides seem to be trying to silence the center.

Another point many won't like: moralistic "nudges" are shown, scientifically, to _decrease_ support for climate policy. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333068802_Nudging_o...

Geoengineering deserves a few orders of magnitude more research than it gets, imo, probably some multiple of what NASA and the LHC get. If we actually want to solve the problem, this, and mass conversion of the grid to nuclear, are the best we've got right now.

One other point that is outside the Overton window of both sides: we may not be able to reduce oil consumption that much worldwide with cheap energy, because as that gets cheaper, rulers in the Middle East will simply lower oil prices, rather than have their entire economies bust. Without oil sales, there will also be (even more) misery for hundreds of millions of people.
Out of curiosity, why is this downvoted?
So they installed without further confirmation a silent update that removes a silent installer? No irony?
Is this CSI based?
It’s safer than C++, sure, but half of other languages are safer. Java doesn’t have unsafe code at all, not even in standard library, and it’s very hard to interop with. Same with JS & TS.

When people move from C++ to another language for more safety, Rust is not their only option.

Couple decades ago everything was written in C or C++. Desktop apps, mobile apps, web servers (cgi-bin, then COM objects for asp.classic).

People wanted higher level, easier to use, faster to compile, and safer languages. Java was the first popular one, then C#, then the rest of them followed. C++ is continuing to lose the market it once had. 15 years ago, people generally stopped using C++ for web servers. Some still do for unusual requirements, but most people don’t. 10 years ago, most people stopped programmed mobile apps in C++ (I did before that time, for WinCE and PalmOS), now it’s mostly managed languages there. Recently the same happened for desktop apps, no one likes Electron but it does the job, and people do use the software. Embedded and videogames have already started the transition, IMO.

Moving from C++ to better languages is a long trend, the industry is doing it for decades now. I don’t think Rust is a universally good option for that. Has issues with usability, labor market, libraries, platform support, and community. Good one for niche stuff, like some components of a web browser, or a bare metal hypervisor, but that’s it.
> By default, under the same origin policy, a browser won't allow requests cross origin.

Save a rather short-but-impactful list of exceptions.

> CORS is a mechanism to loosen security, not increase it.

Would that everyone shared your understanding.

Add in these two insights to those we are enlightening:

* CORS is enforced by the browser, so no, your curl command working doesn't say your service is fine

* That error message in the browser about 'no-cors'? It is 99% likely that no-cors is NOT what you want, so the error message is just misleading and unhelpful

...and you'll have covered my CORS wishlist :)
How can I take you seriously when you arbitrarily redefine stuff you don't approve of as 'luxury'?

It's not approve or disapprove it's afford or not afford in a wider sense than your personal affordability.

I don't disapprove of you or your life choices. I disapprove of a system which necessarily hangs up on this individualistic story against aggregates.

Not wanting to drive (hah) too far on this, the road system you drive on is a state and federal investment. If the heavy goods went by rail andnot road, and we did focus on deisel abatement and NO and particulates reduction you might have upsides.
Perhaps, but if you want to solve a problem, you need to address the primary cause. If the European rivers never released any single-use plastic it would not have a serious impact on the problem. The vast majority of this pollution comes from the Asian rivers (esp. the Yangtze); if you want to solve the problem, you have to address them.
Not really, you can just check that Content-Type is application/json and refuse to do anything if it’s not. That effectively shuts down application/x-www-url-encoded or multipart/form-data CSRFs. In fact, parsing POST payload as JSON without checking Content-Type first is frowned upon, and some frameworks refuse to do that by default.

Believe me, I would dearly like to learn something new that can benefit me in my daily work. But unfortunately I can't make sense of your examples as they stand so it would be great if you could provide some example code to illustrate your point.

I do not know about your background or experience in C++ and you may very well have valid points (hence my request for code examples). However I get to read a lot of code of inexperienced programmers in my job who use && references and std::move "because that's how you do it in a modern way" and then run into crap like use after move and then wonder what the hell went wrong...

Stripe gets the front page because they are popular with developers, but I've dealt with so many other more-corporate payment processors that are absolutely awful for reliability. Rampant downtime, terrible support, terrible concurrency limits, failure to meet SLAs, terrible documentation (900 page specs that are impossible to read). They all think they are awesome, and yet can't go more than 48 hours without having some system degradation email sent out. I don't want to name them, but they are some of the worst businesses I've ever dealt with. They just want to sit there and collect huge amounts of money for helping you connect to Visa/Mastercard/etc, and do little else.

Rage. Stripe hitting a little downtime is nothing in comparison.
Patrick, I think that it would be really nice to share the technical details of the post-mortem, once the dust has settled.

Many folks don't have the privilege to run a massive scale operation like Stripe, and lots of people can learn from it.
Even if this is a viable solution to the climate change problem, an individual country isn't going to foot the bill for the entire world, especially not when we are talking about a recurring expense on the order of hundred billions of dollars every single year.
There are buses, trains, etc. That can take you most of the way. It is super handy to be able to bike to a well served direct bus route, take the bike on the bus, and bike to the destination without having to have to change from/to an underserved indirect lane.
Same, I traced it back to my penchant for buying cheap shit cables. Measure the voltage at the back of the USB connector on the Pi3, it should be > 4.9 always.
Conversely, you made a broad claim that runs contrary to popular consensus. Cursory glance or not, the onus is on you to back up your initial wild claim with a source.

Regardless, are you really going to double-down on Hollywood producing more original stories than ever?

Hollywood studios today are in the business of SASOR (sequels, adaptations, Spin-offs, Remakes). That is their primary business model. They may buy up an original productions at festivals like Sundance & SXSW, but that is only for distribution and a light spend on P&A.
Your cherry picking. America will suffocate in its own ordure without immigration and in twenty and fifty year terms your aggregate life choices around sharing wealth will consume you (generically). Not trading with China is a great way to bring on a crisis if you want one.

I think it would be very interesting to keep the full map view, but then brutally limit the APM, within like a 1-2s window.

Limiting map vision seems a kind of arbitrary limitation to me, an artifact of the particular minimap size Blizzard chose that you can't change; you should be able to change its resolution, size and placement as you like, and then face the computer on roughly equal terms (without its ability to do ridiculous micro, i.e. try to produce pure strategy games).
Assuming Trudeau doesn't have another gaff or corruption scandal.. But I'm not holding out hope. Although NDP looks weak as hell too... I'm depressed for the future of this country.
Why are you blaming Hollywood for the lack of local distribution?

Hollywood made the movies. It's up to the local theater to actually show them. They generally don't because it's not worth the money to do so outside of big cities and college towns.

(Hollywood hasn't controlled the theater industry since 1948, when the courts ruled that studios owning theaters was a violation of antitrust law. See United States v. Paramount.)
Sure, now.

All I'm saying is that after reading through some of those regs, clearly it'd be prudent to bet on African properties for those playing the long game.
> I can just as easily say that the best way to maximize shareholder value is to minimize public scandal, scrutiny, and potential for legislature.

Scandals can get free marketing, for example, Nike and Colin Kaepernick. Attention is always better than no attention at all for a business. Every single decision is made to increase profit but there might be many things that need to be accomplished first so its hard to see the big picture. For example, a developer might want to improve a feature because they want more people to use their product. A manager gets approval to pay that developer because the investment is deemed a profitable one. What does the person who gave them that money care about the number of users. It's not their invention and they don't even use the service? They give the money because they know that More users = more market share = more ads to sell = a return greater than the initial investment. Until a business can run with people working for free, the person paying for things always dictates what is bought and thus the direction the company is headed.

Let's say that direction is contrary to the direction of another prominent member of the business wants it to go. Whether you want to believe it or not, the same calculus goes on in every person's mind: Is this the potential payoff of Option A greater than the potential loss of Option B given the risk?
> They __don't__ want the planes now like a backlog would imply, they want them in 2021.

Well, that's not 100% accurate.

Airlines always want the most fuel-efficient plane now, but will settle for ASAP. With leasing, they can dump their old planes and lease new models.

That's why the Singapore A380s were chopped up this year - they were heavy and thus not fuel efficient.

The DC-1/DC-2 was developed for TWA because Boeing promised their entire 247 production run to United.

I think it's fascinating that motorists (like you) happily break traffic laws all the time. As a simple example mild to moderate speeding is completely acceptable, as are any number of other minor infractions.

However a bicyclist who comes to a rolling stop (an act which endangers nobody but the cyclist, and which poses little danger since cyclists can hear and see what's going on unhindered) is often trotted out by folks like you as proof that _they_ are somehow the lawbreakers.

Do you see the hypocrisy in your position, or are you unaware?

It’s worth mentioning the huge advantage that impossible dropship or blink micro can give. It isn’t raw apm, but perfect timing sometimes that is an issue. The management of attention is truly important
There's a difference that could be important: Libra is effectively a bank, and like other banks creates money, but the new money is not denominated in dollars, it's in Libra. If American banks create too many dollars, that's a problem for every American, since Americans up to now have been pretty much stuck with using dollars. If Libra mismanages their supply and reserves, the main effect will be on the market price of Libra, right? Am I understanding things correctly?

With the banks we're used to there's a potential tragedy of the commons in that their separate decisions all affect the shared money supply, which is indistinguishable, so one reason to have a central bank is to get some overall control of those distributed decisions. A distinct competing currency already under a single decision maker doesn't so obviously need that extra governance. I don't know, maybe it does, but I'd like to see the reason spelled out.

(Hayek raised this point in his Denationalisation of Money.)
Yes. Well maybe.

Here is a brain dump:

I used a popular app in Sydney. Sydney loves it's coffee and coffee shops and people don't mind shelling out $5 for coffee, queuing for it but the coffee has to be good.

A lot of people will go to the same coffee shop every day, near where they work, or perhaps on one of the train stations on their way. So if just that coffee shop has the app supported it that might be all they need. A single coffee shop could have it's own app and be all good, in theory. Although people often need marketing and re-marketing to remember about the app. So seeing an ad for Cloosiv on the train, then seeing the sign at their local will help them adopt it. A free first coffee helps as well!

To use the app, you have to know what coffee shop you are going to in advance - so there is an element of habit by the users. If you are in a strange area and don't know where to get a coffee you'd probably walk in, by which time you probably are better of queuing although maybe the app is still faster. Unless you are using the app for discovery. If I am in a dense area I can find a coffee shop easily. But if all the coffee shops are listed and I am in a area with few shops it could be a useful way to find my nearest. But you'd need a lot of saturation for that - a bit like Uber has nowadays but not at the beginning.

Another aspect is the move towards bringing your own cup. This is awesome for the environment, assuming people aren't throwing away the permanent cups! Usually there is a small discount for BYO cup.

Hopefully it should cater for that, but to do so would require them waiting for you to appear before making your coffee - negating the speed benefit but there are other benefits such as loyalty points, not needing your wallet and so on.
> I almost never buy an app from the Mac App Store when it's also available directly.

Unpopular opinion, but I always try to buy Apps from the Mac App Store. It is easy to purchase and with buyer protection. You can easily install the app on another Mac and it updates automatically and all my apps are in the same place with just one account. But most importantly, Mac App Store Apps must run in a sandbox which is much more secure, than just downloading an app from the internet which might run with root privileges on your Mac.

I did purchase Soulver 3 though because I wanted to support the developer as I have been using Soulver 2 almost daily for 10 years. But sure enough, the in-app purchase experience did not work and crashed when going to PayPal. Ended up purchasing through the web-site. The downside now, is that my Soulver 3 App has megabytes of Paddle API frameworks embedded in it that is not used, and Little Snitch reports that Soulver 3 tries to connect to paddle 2 times every freaking time I start the app. Very annoying and unnecessary.

Soulver 3 has actually been a bit of a disappointment. They rewrote the parser and math engine in Swift and a lot of functionality has been lost in the process. I'm sure this will be addressed in further releases, but for now, it has no iCloud sharing and you cannot share documents with the iOS app. Bit flicking operators does not work anymore, which was so useful for programming. It has gained support for date time calculation which is very nice, like 'today + 30 days', but Numi does this better and also has a 'now' variable for current time you can do calculations with. The new Soulver 3 UI could be better and I especially find it annoying that the window has a rather large fixed min-width and I also don't like the different color for the right column. Numi is a a copy of Soulver, but has bypassed the original. Unfortunately, I found Numi after I purchased Soulver 3, but I have ditched Soulver 3 for Numi. Numi has more functionality, looks much better and has fewer bugs. Edit: I don't like that Numi is not available on the App Store either. Numi is created by a developer from Belarus, which is a country only slightly better than DPRK and I would very much like to have Numi in a sandbox.

Isn't the federal reserve in the United States a private corporation that is not part of the government?
It's fairly easy to use Class Data Storage and include an archive in Java 12 where startup time is important. This reduces start time significantly.

JVM starts really quick (~100ms on my machine) and doesn't use much resources as long as your app is small. that's... Uncommon in Java land though. Even simply apps pull in Guava/Apache Commons and a few client libraries. This can easily be thousands of classes. Nobody thinks about it because runtime cost for loading shitloads of code is so low. But you can improve this a ton by using ProGaurd and stripping out stuff you don't need
On a somewhat related topic: Google changed gmail URL to mail.google.com from gmail.com. I think this is for easier tracking of users--it is easier to set cookies that are shared by all Google apps and sites.
How so? It's super easy to just download and put into any website. Look at the demo above.

It took us about 3 months of work to get all the quirks out, but anyone can do it. A developer can grab our library but if you don't know how to code, it's just a widget you get off the Internet. And it works on YOUR WEBSITE. This isn't like Dropbox because there is no desktop app.
Yes. Mesosphere storage team participated heavily in developing CSI and DSS (the storage service) leverages it.
I agree. The way way the categories are worded essentially excludes the possibility that maybe we shouldn’t be training these models at all. We have banned potentially insightful experiments in both medicine and psychology because they are unethical. I see no reason ML should get a pass.

Base expansions and tech transitions as actions are all triggered by certain momentary events. This is simply due to the fact that each of necessary actions for that have prerequisites. And a neural network will simply learn long term strategies as sequences of trigger responses without any actual long term memory involved.
Probably it's just the sheer amount of connections you have to make. But it's possible to have even 10 people. Especially if you go through a central hub.
You could of improved it with a protobuf or a json file then, but with the size of your data set, it shouldn't really matter what your using.

It can be hard to beat an in memory data structure when your data set is small enough, true.
One of the side effects of CORS is that you can't display most off-site images through WebGL. Displaying an off-site image through <img> is allowed. Otherwise ads would break. But you can't bring the same image into the WebGL system.

I hit this trying to display map tiles. The map tiles are on a server that doesn't send any CORS headers. A simple 2D display of the map works fine. But using a 3D library that allows rapid movement, perspective views, and flyover hits a CORS block. I can force through that with a browser add-on, but that's just for testing.

Incidentally, CORS-plugin for Firefox has a major security hole. You give it a URL to allow, but, randomly, it switches invisibly to "all URLs" and opens a security hole.
I like how this doesn't have a frame around it, and is just an extension of the curb, including for safety reasons.

My city (walking distance to Boston, Mass., proper) seems relatively pro-bikes by US standards, and was experimenting with placing a pipe frame bike rack in parking spots, on at least one major street. But given the Boston-area prevalence of texting drivers, drunk drivers, aggression over parking spot scarcity (see "Boston space savers"), and high degree of animosity between some drivers and bikers... that frame looked to me like a deathtrap cage, for getting you mangled by a bunch of bicycles, if a car ever hit the frame at-speed while you were inside.
Yeah, exactly. Software you've uninstalled gives away permission to use your camera to a remote web page? That's malware, and would get most apps banned permanently.
Disney owns Hulu, I expect that'll be rolled into Disney+. I might be over estimating Netflix's skill in this area, but I suspect they are really good at converting production money into subscribers.

All that said, none of this is good for creators or customers, it doesn't really matter if Netflix is first, second, or dead.
