I think you took my comment as sarcasm, but I quite agree with you; being able to leave out the curly braces was a mistake in the language design. Not as big as some of the others, but costly enough over all these decades.

Personally I prefer to be less strict about style whenever possible, but then I prefer to work in safer languages, and I don't have the same firehose to deal with.

I love our trams in Melbourne.

They are free, don't emit fumes, reduce pedestrian numbers on the sidewalk and get you where you need to go quickly. Hook turn laws work well to make sure traffic doesn't get in their way.

We still have an underground train loop and the trams help reduce congestion in there as well.
Agree... and I'd love to see another control, one that is just "pretty" but is not (considered) art...
Security features should NOT be limited to enterprise only. Performance, monitoring, advanced query capabilities are much better options. Security should be table stakes for ALL software today. Please reconsider.
Your comment is especially relevant re this quote from the original article:
"Thus do we hear of Pepys’s plan to burn a compromising book so it won’t be found in his library, even though his library includes the diary in which he records the purchase and his plans to conceal it. It’s as if Pepys can’t suppress his compulsive candor."

Pepys wrote in a rare (Shelton) form of shorthand and then used code words as well, for further security. His writings were reasonably secure, in their time.
Good idea, I definitely think it's doable.

> Don't want to participate? Then don't ask for a loan.

This is not pragmatic advice. I needed to take out loans to go to college. My phone company did a credit check before they'd let me sign up for a plan. So did my landlord before they offered me a lease. When I buy a car or apply for a mortgage on a house, they'll also check my credit.

Yes, sadly the proliferation of the "two point oh" meme has set society back on that front. (Had we the opportunity to start over, I would have proposed different punctuation for the delimiter to avoid natural confusion with decimals.)
It is, in one sense, illegal. "The NOI provides a history of FCC regulations in this area, noting that in 2007 and 2008 the commission “prohibited providers from entering into or enforcing exclusive agreements to provide services to customers in commercial and residential MTEs.”" - https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/06/exclusive-broadb...

What's not illegal is landlords accepting free services from the ISPs in exchange for their tacit agreement to not allow any other ISPs in. While, of course, saying to tenants that "you can choose any provider you want".

"Go buy a condo or a house" is not an option for the vast majority of people living in apartments. Otherwise, they wouldn't be living in an apartment.
It’s insane that it is $1400/month out of pocket, and if you have a high deductible plan you’d still be paying $6k+ potentially before it’s covered.

I pretty much agree with all your points. So given Comcast's track record, I've decided to not give them anything I don't have to. I have no reason to believe they will treat their internet customers any better then their cable subscribers. I like the way Sonic does business, so I'm going to support them, even if its slower. Its fast enough for my purposes (and we cord-cut, game, etc)
Wow, very impressive effect! How long until something similar to this makes its way into AR glasses for overlaying proper solid-looking rendered objects?

You obviously have a good point to make, but it needs to be done without firebombs.
epoll was a problem child API on linux, with a number of missteps early on. It's much better now. It does everything WFMO does and more. What disjoint APIs are you talking about? You can just use epoll and be done with it?

What are you talking about by "wait for both"?

But jesus, the windows API in this area is hot garbage. A hard 64 limit and O(N)? It's a terrible design.

There's no much of choice, really. You can opt out by basically choosing to not partake in modern society.
And I'm kind of at a loss as to why someone would question the desire for this. The statement is that it's literally as comfortable as a regular piece of the clothing, so the only downside here I see is an increased cost. Given that I'm sure some people pay close to or more than $400 for designer versions of jeans, it seems to me to be at least as good an investment of the money as that choice.

Put another way, would you pay $1500 for a car that had a bulletproof exterior if it didn't affect the look, feel or handling/visibility? I think a lot more people would opt for that, and for similar reasons.

People routinely spend much more money on things with much less utility, so I'm all for it.
My friend who’s on a high-deductible plan says they reimburse you for the portion that’s before your deductible. It’s actually kind of a sweet deal because you hit your deductible without being out any money. Then you don’t have to worry about paying for medical care for the rest of the year.

This is great - what you guys are doing particularly hits home for me.

I graduated out of UC Riverside, with a degree in Accounting, and if any of you are Asian-American in California, you'd know it's infamous nickname: University of Chinese Rejects. I'm willing to bet that my GPA was even lower than yours Jaclyn.

I managed to finagle my way into a UX/UI position at a major consulting firm and before that STRUGGLED to get nearly anybody to take me seriously. There's a lot of parallels to draw with Design to Engineering, most employers there are already making hiring decisions based on portfolio and aptitude, rather than grades. But still, the same platitudes of: great undergrad/masters, brand name companies, extroverts, etc all ring true. You're often focused on gaming the interview process and saying the right things, rather than being assessed as a measurement of your actual work output.

Anyway, the only way I got noticed was doing what you guys are offering as a much more legitimized service. I had to create major projects for myself that would demonstrate I had some literacy in how work would actually be done in the field, cold email + network with a bunch of companies just to get a foot in the door, create a portfolio without any help.

I think I'm one of the few that got extremely lucky in the end, but it really warms my heart that you guys are providing a service that really formalizes the career shifting process. I'll be rooting for your guys' success.
A better question is “Why do entities who aren’t Chinese trust Huawei?”

Understanding that should connect the dots for your other question.
If I am thinking of the same incident, it was actually Syria that shot down the Russian surveillance aircraft, not the Israelis.

The battleship has no remaining role. Blanket heavy shore bombardment really isn't needed much.

Every other capability - over the horizon engagement, force projection, command of the high sea could be handled better by the carrier. Thanks to the surface and underwater defence provided by the carrier group, a carrier is not yet as vulnerable as the battleship of old.

If the carrier within a group becomes too vulnerable, it sure as heck won't be replaced by battleships, vulnerable and increasingly obsolete since the 1930s. Just as certain to be underwater as any newly vulnerable carrier, even with a full scale carrier-like protection group.

What unique capability do you see they could bring?

In that case, it's probably even a better idea. If the choice is a SWAT officer being somewhat immune to or being fully affected by a current strong enough to affect muscles, I would rather they be immune to whatever degree they can be, just because those muscles are probably in control of an automatic weapon.

That doesn't really help that the SWAT team probably shouldn't even be there 99% of the time, but I'll still take any small wins that are offered.
> I don’t know enough about this, but if there is drug-resistant HIV couldn’t this affect PREP?

The resistance in this article is to efavirenz and nevirapine, neither of which is used in PrEP. They're not even in the same class of drugs - both are NNRTIs, whereas PrEP consists of two NRTIs (in a single pill).
I don’t want to overstate the problem; I think it is a bit less readable. While types are rarely so indescriptive as “x”, they are often still plenty indescriptive, and I don’t know why we should introduce a syntax that depends on the clarity of type names or the frequency of other potentially ambiguous constructs when we could use a syntax that is unambiguous with no caveats and friendlier/more familiar to the larger body of programmers who have not yet tried Go.

This. You have to consider that Canada does not have a singular public health system since they are provincial responsibilities. The Federal government "guarantees" it, but in practice doesn't do anything other than delegating it to the provinces and equalizing funding between the provinces.

In almost all of the systems, medication is not covered unless you're a child, extremely poor, or very old.

In practice about 30% of all healthcare expenditure in Canada comes from private sources, since things like medication, dental care, vision care, and a whole myriad of other critical segments of healthcare are not covered by any government health plan.

Who is “they”? There’s a copay card you can use from Gilead that helps pay your co-pay but not aware if that helps you hit out of pocket expenses before you hit your deductible or if that counts as your copay.
All of this is true, and you haven't even started getting into prototype hardware where a minor coding error could cause your hardware to literally catch fire. When you're playing with mechatronics, you often get into fun games of "was it mechanical, electrical or software that let the magic smoke out". :)
It's the R&D equivalent of "contact your network administrator."

I read the article and I read your comment but I still don't quite get how all the pieces fit together.

To make it concrete, let's say we want to set a pixel to red, with 20% transparency.

During the transparent phase we light up the object with white light (always). We set this particular pixel to 20% transparency for red green and blue channels.

During the opaque phase we light up the pixel directly (how? I didn't understand this? just a strong spotlight aimed at the display?) and set red to 80% transparency (100% red * 80% opaque) and the green and blue channels we set to block all light.
I knew I knew that name from somewhere.

Trees can keep running for 40-100 years using your figures. Governments can compulsory purchase and designate regions as wilderness or reserve, and require region appropriate planting. Perhaps to resemble former natural forest.

You can't ask people to set their thermostat 1 degree warmer every year for that 40-100 years. You can expect there to be scope for continued tree planting for decades.

Neither is a sole solution, but both are part of a holistic, reasoned and coordinated journey to carbon neutrality.

That's horseshit. Granted, peak hour trains from Flinders are packed and using a laptop is a bit difficult since your elbows keep bumping into the next person sitting, but not being able to use a phone? People are always on their phones, reading, or knitting.
Monitoring services should be baked into any online system that stores personally identifiable information. The GDPR requirements are a good example of what should be required by law.

Any system you are required to provide information to should also allow you to see when your information is accessed and by whom. In most cases you should also have the option to deny access unless specifically granted.

Unfortunately not providing access could result in not getting credit, insurance, or work as no company will take on the risk - but you have the choice to opt-out.

Credit reporting services provided by the likes of Equifax and Experian particularily commercial rather than personal credit are critical to the current speed of the economy. Shutting them down would have a devestating effect on the economy.
I always felt like the only way you can eliminate the spread of a highly adaptive std is to develop a low barrier on-the-spot test administered just before intercourse at the latest or some point reasonably earlier in a date or whatever. This would still fail under the dormancy period viruses assume but it should improve the odds I'd imagine for those connected in one way or another to promiscuous sexual networks.
I'm glad they raised the orbit, it's just that it's not enough for me (in the northeast US) to be in the radio footprint of the satellite. It was launched into equatorial orbit with a fair amount of inclination, but elevation angles from my location never exceed 11 degrees making reception difficult.

I was hoping to receive the satellite's Morse code beacon and/or telemetry stream [1]. BTW: Does anyone know the downlink frequency for the photos?

> If you live outside of L.A., this paper has no actual value to your news intake for the day. IMO it seems their entire focus is California and that’s it — yes.. it is the “LA TIMES” but they have many different sections.

I'm not sure I can fault them much for this. I imagine most that care for national news care enough to get it from some more well known agency, like WaPo, NYT, etc. You can either try to compete with the likes of them, or focus on what they can't easily provide, which is more local news.

This is just what the Internet does, consolidate services into the few players that do it best. It would be interesting if their were bundled subscriptions for local papers. If there was an integrated offering such that you could buy NYT or WaPo with LA Times, or SF Chronicle, or whatever your local paper was tacked on for a moderate fee, I imagine a lot of people would opt for that. Enough that it might be beneficial for both agencies.

NYT and WaPo definitely have the online resources and talent to do something like that, and if they did it well, they could offer a platform for newspapers to use for publishing that allowed enough branding that they could probably make quite a bit of money while making it trivial to combine articles between sources very smoothly.

> Probability-wise I just mean there's a 2/8 chance that it's one of these pawns.

Right—there's a 2 in 8 chance that the assassin is one of those pawns, and a 1 in 2 conditional probability, given that one of them is the assassin, that the one you pick is the assassin; so, by 'deconditioning', a 1 in 8 chance overall.

(I think it might make this more plausible—just in terms of probability, not a better rule—to imagine that the rule is changed so that the assassin has to be one of the pawns who can check the king. Then the probability of one of those pawns being the assassin is 100%, by fiat; but you've still only got a 50% chance of picking that one.)
> Real cities have metros underground, full stop.

I am not sure if this implies you think Melbourne is lacking a underground metro? Or perhaps you're just making a general statement.

FWIW Melbourne has both trams and a underground metro system that does a fairly respectable job serving the CBD, and good network coverage to inner suburbs.
A congestion charge isn't "banning poor from the roads" any more than other significant costs like vehicle and fuel taxes or inner-city parking. And in the absence of the congestion charge, London's roads would be utterly unusable for everyone, including "poor" people who need an emergency ambulance provided by the free Government healthcare.

If the congestion charge was eliminated, daily commuting to central London by car would still be a non-starter for even the most aspirational middle-class office worker—let alone the poor.

If you've ever been to London you'd notice that the mass transit system—particularly the tube—is dominated by smart-looking, professionally dressed people navigating the city. It's a great system, it's almost always better than driving, and its use spans a broad socio-economic group.
The executive protection market would be a great target for this.

It’s effectively for free, except for the massive society wide risk of fraud that they’ve foisted upon all of us. The stuff looks cheap because, like any polluting industry, the price does not reflect the true cost.

> You can't grow crops on it - not enough water.

This is false. You can grow crops almost anywhere in the U.S. using water intensive techniques.

You won’t be able to do it at scale while funneling all the profits through a single entity though. It can only be done with smaller farms and more attention from a larger number of specialized farmers. We know more about how to do this now than any time in history.

If you want to have a single entity collect all the profits you need a one-size-fits-all methodology, and cattle grazing is that.

So that’s the trade off. An existential one for big beef companies.

Cattle also destroy the plants that maintain soil health and allow you to store water in the landscape, so it’s a vicious cycle. Fairly easily undone building berms and planting pioneer species.
You're describing a commodity. So what's an example of a popular product that no longer differentiates on features/quality yet exists solely due to advertising? ... Actually I'm having a hard time thinking of mature products that DON'T meet that description.

Soft drinks, insurance companies, investment advisors, pretty much all prepared foods, all over-the-counter drugs, shampoo, deodorant, desktop computers, etc, etc -- these are the sources of 95% of ads. Yet the difference among them is almost nonexistent.

The ads for these products don't inform the consumer; they exist only to push the brand into consumer consciousness, a necessary evil because otherwise your company's commodity won't survive competition with other companies's commodity products without fabricating mindshare via by constant repetition of media promotions.

Branded commodities exist at all because advertising has constructed a fantasy around them intended to give consumers a sense of identity, and ultimately, meaning in their lives. Buy this slightly tweaked commodity to become smarter or sexier.

Without ads, 95% of everything we guy will quickly drop by at least 50% to match that of the nameless generic commodity that it is.
