If an airplane has multiple, cascading failures, it can fall out of the sky. If an EV fails, it can pull over.

Personally, I do think that this poses some risk- I might be hesitant to put my kids on a converted EV school bus, for instance- I think it's probably a better idea for a specialized contractor to outfit a fleet than it is for the fleet's mechanic to do so, especially if it's something that they've never done before.
Advertising is as much of a cancer as any form of communication.

What's happening is that the barrier of entry - better yet let's use the industry terms: the cost reach of advertising campaigns is low thanks to the internet that drove the cost of distribution of information close to 0.

So you're just seeing what was once a privileged tool open to the masses - and it's bad. Anyone can have access to it with a credit card.

Now just because there's a lot of bad advertising, probably the great majority of it, doesn't mean it's a cancer. Else everything that's abused in a bad way is a cancer.

Thoughts on Layer’s API Shutdown
This can be solved overnight if voters wanted it, however majority seem to think that somehow the system is OK,so why bother? Pharmaceutical companies absolutely should be able to make money,and tons of it,if the drugs are good,but then one needs to ask himself: what's more important,human health,or the company,which will make 1 billion instead of, let's say 2 or 3?
Also people temd to forget thst there a lot of large pharmaceutical companies outside US with no footprint in its market,yet they are pulling billions selling drugs to all those so called poor countries.
We need to decouple advertisement from money.

Why should someone with more money get to show off more?

More money doesn't mean a better product.

But what is the alternative?

A nationalized ad network? Like public healthcare, you pay X% of ... IDK ... your sales or something... but the amount of money doesn't determine what you get.

In public healthcare, your medical needs determine what you get, what would be an equivalent in business?
This. If I really need generics I'll use a different language.
If biodegrade-able products are from carbon based life, and carbon based life contains carbon, and biology breaks down biodegrade-able products, wouldn't breaking down something that contains carbon be releasing carbon into the air? And wouldn't that be NOT carbon neutral.

I don't think tying American prices to a multiple of the next highest price is very equitable, especially since Americans have been funding the majority of the world's pharmaceutical research for ages.

I think it'd be equitable for America to get drugs near cost and for the rest of the world to pay for drug development for at least 50 years.
Generics and interfaces go hand in hand IMO, especially in an application with heavy emphasis on data persistence. This way you can compose a class of some interfaces, pass it to a persistence layer (using a generic constraint of something common to all inputs of that layer), and then the persistence layer can check for all the interface types it cares about saving and pass those pieces off to whatever lower-level piece of code handles that one thing.

Generics enable you to avoid having 10 slightly different implementations of the same thing (even if dependencies are shared, you're still going to have 10 copies of plumbing without generics). Being wise about when and when NOT to use generics is to me the most important factor.

In our shop we tend to not introduce a new generic class/method until something gets painful (unless it's plainly obvious from the beginning). Because of this we usually begin to notice and reason about patterns in our code that seem common enough to warrant refactoring and whether the complexity of a generic implementation would be worth lowering the maintenance burden of copy/pasting said pattern all over the place. It's a case by case decision.

Having generics available at least allows us to make that decision for ourselves.

On a tangent, I recently interviewed with amazon and you can tell everyone’s being pushed to go to great lengths when it comes to customer satisfaction. The interview really gave me a sense of what amazons thinking when they give you a 25 dollar discount when you call them about a delayed delivery on a 30 dollar item. From the outside looking in, you think they are crazy but when you’ve seen the organizational obsession with customer satisfaction, it all makes complete sense.
Thank you for explaining the intricacies of -y vs. -ier.

Just a question though, would their claim of "IMPROVING HUMAN HEALTH" fall under -ier or -y?

>> I really cannot believe we eat animals

I don't understand this. We are animals. Why is it specially prohibited to us that we eat other animals?

Note also that, as animals, we are not plant-eaters: we can't survive on plant matter alone. We are made [1] to eat other animals. We are omnivores, yes?

So why is it unethical for us, specifically, to eat other animals when it's not unethical for other animals?

> Do you think folks in the US should be proud of subsidizing the rest of the world?

I don't know what "pride" has anything to do with it. The US does subsidize the rest of the world, implicitly, which is why any effort to reduce drug prices in the US will result in other countries paying more, in the long run.

> Maybe the US should allow governments to negotiate drug prices.

I don't know what you mean by "allow governments to negotiate drug prices". The US doesn't have any say in whether other countries negotiate prices domestically.
It's very shaky reasoning. For starters, I'm sure you are seriously underestimating how much per time unit, and how much people do eat sweets. Second: if someone likes taste of sugar, and you deny that person sweet drinks, you likely to see increased consumption of sweets, or just plain sugar added to other drinks (coffee anyone?) How deep are you ready to go with prohibitions in that light?
How do you explain Wikipedia?
> As I recall they did not do something simple like have monolithic blocks of code separated by architecture: if there was a loop, the body of the loop had interleaved instructions for all architectures. I'm sure this was in the days before instruction caches were a thing.

The first part of your post sounded pretty clever and workable, but this part sounds completely insane. Managing all of the side effects for all of those other architectures constantly would have been an never ending nightmare. Keeping separate blocks and only sharing data segments seems like the only way to keep your sanity.
The Linux Foundation's sponsorships are technically ads. Not particularly intrusive ads, so I generally don't mind them (much like I don't necessarily mind sponsorships of other things, like sports arenas and NASCAR drivers), but still ads nonetheless.

If I own a piece of physical hardware, they can't dictate how it runs software. Hardware ultimately listens to its owner, which is me, not them.

If they try to interfere with that, I will try every route I can to ensure my personal freedom.

For phones you can do most of what you want with LineageOS and Xposed; for AR headsets I'm sure something similar can be done and it's just a matter of time before hackers get together and make freedom a reality.
> It seems absurd that they only need to allocate $31 million for "alternative payments" while the old CEO leaves with close to $20 million in bonuses.

Not to mention the $77.5 million that goes to the lawyers who negotiated this settlement on our behalf (per the settlement).
....and without some of that marketing spend, revenue would decrease (or be co-opted by competition) and then we're back at the same problem. Companies probably over-index on advertising spend, but it's not as simple as "look no ads, now we can raise everyone's salary 2x"
There's a discord for learning languages that is doing one as well. It's a pretty massive server I joined to try and learn different languages. I'm not sure how related they are to that subreddit though.
I'd say neither is bad, but if I had those two options I'd go AWS. I personally think you will learn more (diversity) at AWS and it will set you up for later career choices better than eBay. Also might depend what groups within those two you are getting offers from, but I still would think AWS.
Would adding lard be an acceptable fat to throw in?

I grew up on a farm, my grandma and my family in general never stopped using fats in recipes. I use it for making cornbread alllllll the time.

Quote from my late grandma: "Its almost impossible to use too much fat when cooking"

I've since learned how to use duck fat as well in French cuisine. It dramatically reduces how much sugar you need to use in recipes.

And have you ever made home made ice cream? Its waaaaaay better than the ice cream you buy in stores. Then again, we made it from fresh cow milk we milked that morning, my god do i miss that. The ice cream, the cows can go suck eggs. :)
If that were the only way we produced meat, I would be far less opposed to consuming it.

Mass production in unhealthy factory styles is the majority source. Any incentive to end that process is a net gain in my view.
That is the same argument made to debunk climate change science. As if people dependent on a theory being true would set aside their morals and say that theory is true.
5nm isn't just on a whiteboard, it's in risk production already at TSMC. Volume production is slated for Q1 2020, less than a year away, and TSMC tend to be accurate with their estimates.
> Its just another goofy legal loophole to avoid adressing the issue.

It's not a legal loophole. It ensures that the price of the drugs in the US will never be more than the price of the drugs in Canada (plus any additional costs of importing).

Almost nobody will actually import the drugs from Canada, but the legality of it provides sufficient market pressure on pharmaceutical companies that they wouldn't be able to charge 100x the amount in the US that they would in Canada.
I really detest the general "hate" of advertising. Don't get me wrong: I'm a zealous ad blocker, largely because advertising can (and does) go over the line of being intrusive. Also I think the dirty secret of ad tech is ad personalization has pretty limited value.

But advertising in general is how people find out about things they might need or want. There might be a bakery 2 miles away you'll really enjoy. How will you find out about it if they don't advertise? Being strictly reliant on word-of-mouth is woefully naive (IMHO).

Take Google search, the user is literally looking for something. Why isn't an ad an appropriate response to someone searching for a search for "ozark jetski for hire"? As long as ads and organic search results are clearly differentiated, IMHO this is totally fine.

Certain behaviours obviously need to be restricted, like I'm a big fan of outright outlawing advertising to children. But advertising in general? In what world is that reasonable?

Why does it have to? Coke as a company is responsible for some horrifying effects on the world. Health effects, economic depression in the developing world, ongoing environmental harm. And for what? Sugar water. Not space travel, not energy, not transportation, not safer aircraft or cars, not saving lives, no. For fucking. Sugar. Water.

And they're far from the only company burning energy, effort, time and knowledge to accomplish nothing but profits at the expense of virtually everything else touching them.
So great strength of conviction except for self interest.

This is exactly why it's a childish opinion that ignores the interconnectedness of our society.

Advertising is baked in to the fabric of how our social systems work in an interconnected way.

That's just for the enclosure. It looks like it comes out to 60-70$ depending on how you build it. I'm targeting sub $50, but it's tough. Good resource though, didn't know about those cheap geared stepper motors.

Go has generics. What it actually lacks is user-defined generics.

Which shows the absurdity of the situation. The fact that it has generics demonstrates that generics are a useful and important feature. And yet they think their provided generics cover every possible use-case of generics that you will reasonably need in to use in Go.

Carbon neutral means the carbon that gets released at the end was initially taken out of the atmosphere, not the ground.

If you burn a piece of paper it's carbon neutral because the tree absorbed that carbon from the air. If you burn a piece of plastic you're adding carbon that used to be sequestered below the surface.

I think situational awareness will remain very important to small to medium size air forces. I can't help but think of the Swedish Air Force. The idea was to be able to strike very hard if absolutely necessary. Otherwise, the air force would not be deployed at all. We never expected to operate in air superiority conditions. It was always about inflicting maximum damage to an invader. In such a situation you are already accepting heavy casualties and higher risk to the pilots seems more palatable if that means more room to improvise to achieve the objective.
Which ironically results in massive public subsidies for middle class people when heavy rail is operated at huge losses.
It would be nice if the program would abort if a non-void function returns without a value. The only cost would be a slightly larger executable.

I am not sure this is a technology problem, this is more of a societal problem. This city had the will to experiment with removing ads, and it had good results

I understand the irony of that page having multiple ads :P
This is the first I've learned about things like the "Evercookie," and now I'm wondering if there's a U.S. Attorney out there who would be interested in a CFAA prosecution.

I utterly fail to see how it could be the case that website scraping arguably violates the CFAA (though I have my doubts there), but this kind of malware deliberately designed to violate the expressed intent of people to remove data from their own machines, for the purpose of accessing identity information, doesn't.

Interestingly, if you try to download the zip file of the evercookie repo from github, Chrome detects it as malware and blocks it. That makes me rather more confident in the security model of Chrome.
MRAs do things to solve issues too.

For example, when the Department of Education rescinded the guilty until proven innocent policy. That was the work of men's rights groups.

But feminists fight everything MRAs try to do to solve these issues. They complained when that policy changed. When MRAs tried to bring attention to male victims of domestic violence, feminists claimed they were distracting from female victims.

And you're absolutely right, women aren't the enemy. There are plenty of women who support men's rights.

But there are also women who claim that men sitting comfortably are "manspreading", that men speaking are "mansplaining", and who presume that every man accused of sexual assault is guilty.
But it doesn't really work like that, does it? After all, it's up to an individual to create something meaningful. The money will always be there in one form or the other. Without google or facebook relaying on advertisements as their business model, coca cola would go for other channels. They'd pick billboards instead of instagram ads, or local newspapers ads instead of native ads. Now I may be a bit biased, however can you really argue that local newspapers and billboard owners will make better use of that capital? And it's not facebook/google restricted either; big companies like that have a very wide range of things they do and ways in which they promote the brand. And come to think of it, facebook, google, and all the other advertising giants we here seem to hate are in a much better position to use that money in a meaningful way. Definitely better then a random wannabe instagram influencer.
> Or, from another perspective, they’re pushing for a URL shown in a navigation bar to represent the origin of a document, rather than where you attained it from. (Which is already true of SOCKS and HTTP CONNECT proxies, of course.)

Very good points, but the devil lies in the details. Preserving authenticity of web content through public-key cryptography is of course a welcome change. But HTTPS is for encryption from the client to the server (Transport Layer Security). So browser UIs were designed so a lock next to a URL meant you securely connected to the host of the URL. That's what we've been teaching people browsing the web for more than a decade.

Subverting the meaning of URL bars and HTTPS indicators to make Google's control over the web less visible to the end user is of course a very politically-motivated choice and is yet another direct attack on the web as we know it to promote corporate interests. I would be all in favor of adding cryptographically-enforced authorship information in browser UIs, but would rather add a clickable "person" icon next to the HTTPS lock.

So in the end you would end up with visual indication that a secure connection was established to the Google AMP gateway (or whatever website) and that this website is sharing content that provably originated from somewhere/someone; you would just have to click the button to figure it out (just like for TLS connection details).

Also, if authentication of content is a concern or interest of yours, maybe content-addressable systems such as IPFS/DAT (among others) could interest you.

> formats will emerge to attach signed origins to more document types (e.g. images; PDFs) and then people won’t be able to do easily lose the source of these documents.

There are already standards for doing precisely this on the web. ActivityStreams with Linked Data Signatures comes to mind, for example. But these corporations have no interest whatsoever in building an open and federated web.

We're talking about Google. The company who, for example (among many other scandals) stopped federating their XMPP server (GTalk). From the switch of the button, they consciously chose to prevent millions of people who were previously chatting just fine to do just that. If that's not a manifestation of evil corporate power, i don't know what is.

Plating trees in your garden is always a recipe for future disputes with your neighbours, as petty as it sounds people get really uppity about keeping your shrubbery out of their view and boundaries. But that also depends where you live, I've seen a lot of trees cut down in my city over the past few years because they are a "nuisance". It's more likely that the city council just gave up on keeping them maintained or gave in on 1 or 2 complaints. Some of these trees were oaks that were most likely hundreds of years old and this is in public parks not close to any properties.

They are also trimmed down which is not as bad but not really helping the problem mentioned. Again these trees were hundreds of years old.

https://i2-prod.leicestermercury.co.uk/incoming/article16420...

Planting trees in public spaces seems like a recipe for the council just taking them down. I'm not sure if it's even allowed by law.

Absolutely reasonable question. How about coffee? Soda-prohibiters usually ignore it, because, I guess, they like it themselves, or expect a huge backlash. However, it's a very common way of excessive sugar consumption world-wide.
