We should set it up so that it is based on air, water, noise pollution zoning: Law offices next to (or inside a single family house should be OK). However, if the law office attracts 50 cars per day, then obviously they are going to break noise/air pollution requirements.

Similarly there's no way for a quiet old couple that wants a quiet neighborhood to stay quiet unless the zoning allows for it. A lot of people would consider a Q1 zone anti-familyist but the REASON such a zone would be desireable is that's what rich people pay for - they only want to hear their own noise - so they end up buying 7 lots around their mansion.

We shouldn't make the need to want absolute peace and quiet a price but instead just let that group of people that want the same thing live next door to each other. Instead we encourage people to buy rural properties in a forest.

Sorry for that aside but zones for quiet level, air and water pollution levels - but traffic induced by business should be considered as part of the zoning, and then get rid of the residential / commercial separation - just focus on the pollutions.

Overly restrictive land use policies is one of the reasons I'm running for DCCC in San Francisco. The DCCC chooses who the "official" Democrat is in a race, which almost always translates into that person winning their race. The DCCC is controlled by NIMBYs, which is why we only elect NIMBY politicians. If you want this to change, we have to get pro-growth people on the SF DCCC.

Okay? But you can apply that logic anywhere to anything. Its also a "frightful gamble" that Google needs Microsofts and Apples blessing to operate on their platform. They have intrinsically tied themselves to a particular company's product. They also need Cisco's blessing for routing their packets. The default configuration of all of these products could be to ban google's products and services because they spy on their users or -insert-other-privacy-rationale-. I don't think just because you use and depend on another companies product that you should expect them to be malicious towards you.

I don't know why you've put "former" in there. Lots of people have iphones in Europe, but everyone knows it's an expensive commitment, and if you use all the nice integrations and Apple services it's hard to extricate yourself.
That link vindicates the news coverage, that the court found that repeating true facts about child rape is illegal defamation, because marrying her or also having sex with adults justifies the rape.

The case appears to turn on the claim that "having sexual interest in children" is not paedophilia as long as there is also sexual interest in non-children, or, in other words, that the actual defamation was an implied claim that Muhammad did not have a sexual interest in adults.

> In their opinion, by accusing Muhammad of paedophilia, the applicant had merely sought to defame him, without providing evidence that his primary sexual interest in Aisha had been her not yet having reached puberty or that his other wives or concubines had been similarly young. In particular, the applicant had disregarded the fact that the marriage with Aisha had continued until the Prophet’s death, when she had already turned eighteen and had therefore passed the age of puberty.

This is the same anti-girl (and I emphasize "girl", not "woman") logic that refuses to punish rapists like the drivers' ed teacher in italy who raped a girl student who was wearing jeans without underwear, on the basis of her clothing.

Do you ever get jealous reading about those medieval monks who would just live in a monastery and read, meditate/pray and copy-down books all day?

I do. When I'm acknowledging my worst depressive tendencies, I feel so much resentment for the way we're told that living revolves around constant productivity and being valuable to others. I think when I want an "out", I really just want to be out of that.

I've had these feelings my whole life though. When I was 14, I was 100% sure I would never make it to 18. I ended up getting hospitalized and changing schools midway through highschool. The therapy and drugs didn't really help the root cause, but the experience made me feel like I had permission to fail in a way. I felt I then knew what it was like to be completely useless and written off by everyone as without value, but it was sort of empowering in a weird way. I felt like I was in the bonus-round of a video game. Not chasing death but not really afraid of it either. Later on, I realized I was less angry with the world when I just accepted myself as a hopeless outlier with no intention of properly assimilating and that people's expectations of me were going to end up aligning accordingly anyhow.

But I think some people need ways to "drop-out", at least for a period. Back in the past, I think monasteries let people with that need escape. I don't know how we're expected to do it today. I wish I did.

Note that the post seems to be discussing about the old-school RISC reasoning, more than what we consider "RISC" in the modern world. Now RISC is just a style of ISA (and/or more informally some description of some internal aspects of pipelines of CPUs (regardless of the ISA), behind the decoder and register renaming - and even then that's very far from all aspects)). And btw just because an instruction is called “Floating-point Javascript Convert to Signed fixed-point" with "Javascript" in its name does not disqualify it for appearing in a "RISC" ISA (or even an old-school RISC uarch). At all.

The (proven) modern high perf microarchitecture for generalists CPUs is pretty much the same for everybody nowadays (well some details vary of course, but the big picture is the same for everybody), so a RISC ISA is not necessarily very interesting anymore, but also not necessarily a big problem. However if we take things that still can have in impact on the internals, I would prefer RMW atomic instructions to LL/SC most of the time (arguably LL/SC is the "RISC" way to go). Hell I would even sometimes want posted atomics...

So back to the topic: if RISC is to be interpreted as microcode like/near programming, yeah the RISC approach failed for state of the art high perf in the long run, and it even was a very long time ago that it did -- but was it even thought by anybody that it would win? Not so sure. It was more a nice design point for another era, that only lasted a few years. Anyway the term has become overloaded a lot, and has produced crucial results, even if indirectly. And I agree a lot with the opinion that Skylake/Zen-like uarch is the way to go, and even VLIW is dubious (or even already known as a failure if we take Itanium as the main example) -- I don't even think the Web or anything can save it, to be honest. But conflating CISC with the presence of an instruction useful for Javascript is nowhere near the right interpretation of the term "RISC", regardless which is chosen. I mean at a point you absolutely can have a wide variety of execution units, without that disqualifying your from having the main "RISC" aspects.
It's got to be pretty intimidating. Getting locked up in a room with the investigator, being told that you're not actually required to be there, but it will seriously jeopardize your chances of employment if you decide to leave or decline, etc. I'm sure it works well as an intimidation tactic, as you say.

People need jobs and are willing to put up with lots. Going through with a polygraph is likely just one of a number of the things that people in these industries have to put up with.

If I understand you correctly, we don't have our priorities straight.

Money and consumption is put above relationships and growth. (I almost said "experiences" but, in my opinion, people use that term to justify shallow, expensive pursuits like traveling so they can show off how great their lives are. I think experience is valuable, particular leaving your comfort zone so that you can adapt, learn and grow.) Instead of leaning on relationships to provide for each other, and enduring hardships together, we want to individually achieve for ourselves, and remove any sense of inconvenience or boredom from our lives.
Trying to keep a random number secret likely is less stressful than an actual lie. Even if lie detectors worked this wouldn’t be a great approach. My way is better, scrap them for parts and buy beer for whatever is left over.

This article is making a lot of unattributed claims on behalf “Silicon Valley entrepreneurs”:

“the promise of technological fixes peddled by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs that seem to allow us to continue with business as usual.”

“But if we are to listen to Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and their allies in government and academia, we should not worry about changing our collective way of living on the planet: climate change is simply a problem that can be solved with “disruptive” new engineering innovations, from carbon capture and storage to electric cars.”

The only direct quote is from an unnamed Tesla executive answering an unspecified question: “those are questions for philosophers—next question.” For all we know, he might have been asked why bad things happen to good people.

Attacking whole groups of people for unspecified and unattributed proposals is a truly obnoxious rhetorical tactic. You can blame anything on anyone this way.

Edit: I want to clarify that I think the thesis of the article, that engineering is used both to enact and obscure political outcomes, is true and important. The engineering problems described are a fine example of this dynamic, and I wish the author had stopped there, rather undermining this important argument in such an easily avoidable way.
I agree with that in principle, but increasingly lots of gigs are tied to some kind of platform as intermediary, so it's getting harder to avoid tying yourself to some company's whims. I guess you can try to diversify and at least hedge your bets, but that's easier to do with some kinds of jobs than others.

Idk, I think we should make assisted suicide options more prevalent for older people. The reality is that life sucks for many of them. The article says that many of them feel like they’re a burden. That doesn’t mean they’re wrong. You’re going to be aware that you provide little value to people’s lives if you’re unable to do anything and are personally in general discomfort from your decaying body. Suicide does not need to be seen as a terrible thing. It’s totally reasonable to celebrate the end of life. To leave on your own terms sounds much less scary. The normal ideal way to die seems to be surrounded by loved ones but most people don’t get that. They get a scary bodily failure alone and in pain.

Not to mention the psychological benefits that might come from a healthier image of dying for young people.

MS employee here (I work with data but not in Office). My opinion: I don't find this acceptable. At the end of the day, sending data to a third party without the customers awareness is a violation of trust, regardless of how narrow in scope that data might be.

I'm curious to see how MS responds. There are several unanswered questions that I'd like answered. Specifically:

1. Any disputes about the factual nature of these claims?

2. If not, what is the third party doing with the data?
You can do something like that. For example, enblend does multi-scale "blending", where it builds an image pyramid and runs seam carving on each level before re-combining.
Can you elaborate on the way you were manipulated?
I admit I didn't read the entire article, but didn't we already implement this engineering methodology in WordPress with actions and filters? You essentially register functions to either do something (action) or process something (filter), and add a priority to it (i.e when is it meant to run with regarding the sibling hooks.

And no, this does not save one from understanding the rest of the code. :)
That might make sense if there is some canonical answer to your questions. But if you arbitrarily choose "right" answer you are annoying people who already have some experience. But then, I guess you target people with little to not experience, right?
If Jenkins works for you, great. It does seem to support both clang and cppcheck, although not PVS-Studio (which is one of the better tools out there in my experience).

Personally, I'm happier with plain old text files that can be manipulated with awk, grep, etc., can be databased if needed (since they're csv files) -- and can also be compared using my all-time favorite software, Beyond Compare.

The problem, I think, is that you couldn't prove votes weren't _added_, unless there's some smart way to solve this problem. Obviously you couldn't inject too many votes or the total would seem suspicious. But considering US election turnout varies you could probably get away with a few percent, which could easily swing a close election.
No, me too.

At one point, years into the Agile movement, we were wrapping up a very difficult meeting and I said words to the effect, "You know, we knew going into this that most of the problems in a project come from the requirements process. We have tons of studies that show that. And instead of tackling that problem, we just spent 10 years trying to get better at our part of the development process. Why did we do that? Did we think we would shame the business and management people into doing their jobs better?"

We are the drunk looking for his keys under the street light because the light is better here, instead of in the alley where we dropped them. I want another book called "the inmates are running the asylum" but about software development instead of design concerns.

> You made a silly ad hominem about me potentially being able to afford to ignore increased prices. So let's go ahead and assume the externalities are priced so high that it's an effective ban for all but 0.1% or whatever.

Pricing in the externalities doesn't mean we selectively jack the prices up on the "bad stuff" like plastic bottles (where you get to define what's bad). It means that the price of nearly everything goes up because the cost of raw materials, shipping, etc goes up since everyone on the supply chain has to pay for the pollution they're generating now.
That's when people realize they've failed at life, their bodies are giving out, and they can't afford to retire. High opiate abuse, too.

Nothing is wrong with the cardboard except weight. Nothing is bad about the box except for the remainder of unused space that is in almost every package (and filled with more expensive paper or inflated filler)

For a shipper, minimizing weight and wasted space is a double win. This product has nothing to do with what the consumer wants.

Yes: Gravimetric measurements from GRACE have been a breakthrough. The press release referenced within your wiki citation is well worth reading in this context:

https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4626

Besides in situ wells, other helpful measurement techniques are InSAR (interferometric SAR) and post-processed GPS. Both let you measure surface subsidence to better than 1cm accuracy over broad areas, mostly due to groundwater withdrawals. This subsidence (which is in the multi-meter range in parts of CA, https://www.usgs.gov/centers/ca-water-ls) is of concern in and of itself, due to disruption of infrastructure like highways and pipelines caused by subsidence.

But, subsidence is indirect as a measurement of groundwater withdrawals, because you don't know the relationship between height lost at the surface and volume withdrawn underneath. This depends on a compaction parameter which is very hard to know.

Property owners can stymie the use of wells as a groundwater monitoring tool, because it is often not in their direct interest to supply information about local groundwater depletion. For this and other reasons, it's rather hard to use well data, even in well-instrumented areas like California.
> Trying to keep a random number secret likely is less stressful than an actual lie.

Which begs the issue: If a lie detector is accurate only for answers that are stressful, then it sure looks like we need a detector to figure out if an answer is stressful or not.

Or to put it differently, now you have two problems: Lie detection and stressful-answer detection.

Nevertheless, I concede that your beer detection plan is superior.
This "append-only" style also seems like it could lead to new code being added just to "undo" what the existing code is doing, which is obviously waste.

Reminds me of a process I saw at work years ago. An employee was given an Excel macro to run on a weekly spreadsheet file. The instructions included "Unhide cells D through F". It turned out that the macro had code in it to hide cells D through F, but the employee didn't know how to just remove that code from the macro, so they had to manually undo something the code did, every single time they ran it.
In America, people would build their houses around an industrial zone and then complain about the industry -- this happens all the time. For some nuisances, like airports, it has broader impacts beyond just the industrial zone.
Thanks for that thought! Definitely fits in there. Do you have a link to some source about that, though? I'd love to know about this in more detail.
The process was broken for seven months before anybody noticed?

If I were the Washington Post, I'd wonder why nobody brought up discrepancies with other lists during that time.
