> It's meant as a long term plan to save us when earth goes down for whatever reason

It's literally being advertised as a workaround to global warming upthread… When Bezos gives literally not a single lonely shit about global warming and pours his billions into space crap, it's not with a 2ky term plan.

> Climate change on the other hand is mainly a short term threat, i.e. if we can deal with it in 500 years

Climate change is not something we'll have to deal with 500 years from now, it's something we're already 50 years late on.

Space isn't going away, and in dealing with AGW we'll likely have learned a lot about sustainable systems and ecosystems, and have innovated a bunch of useful things for long-term enclosed systems with no backup.

> Wow, calm down buddy.

Not sure why you're projecting that I'm anything but calm? Does it bother you that not everybody prostrates for the overclass? Does it make you feel uncomfortable to read such thoughts being written?

> such vitrolic/hateful language

Hahaha yeah right.
>Wondering why, given that the technology has been around for a while.

Probably because they got rich by being able to recognize a bad idea.

Also, being rich, they probably want to live longer, not die in a half-baked, worst-of-both-worlds technology.

We live outside of Boston with two kids, now 3y and 5y. We're about 10min from the subway, and we've never had a car. We do a lot of walking with our kids, and when they were younger we used the stroller more. I'm as happy with this as I was before kids.
I see many people 'cottaging' in the summer. Drive for a couple of hours to a cottage, spend two days there, and drive back. It's not that enjoyable of an experience, really like owning two houses, that you need to clean.

I look at the pictures from 100 years ago of little resorts, and little resort towns. You take a train, spend a week in a pleasant atmosphere. Maybe you own a little cottage near the railway tracks, in a small village. It was more communal and more enjoyable. You can walk into the village in 15 minutes.

In 100 years, we'll still be rich enough to afford cars, just they will be electric and self-driving. People only take public transportation because there's no parking, it's faster and/or cheaper, or they can get other stuff done while on it. All these being equal, people will choose cars.
Graphics are "improved substantially" from a low base.

Just before the smartphone revolution happened, Microsoft decided to make a GPU-centric graphics architecture (WDDM, which Wayland) imitates and Intel decided to make an integrated GPU that was just barely adequate to run Windows Vista.

Intel's plan has always been to take as much of the BOM for a PC for themselves, so they hoped to vanquish NVIDIA and ATI and might have even succeeded if it wasn't for cryptocurrency and deep learning.

The trouble is that Intel has been pursuing phoneishness for the last ten years instead of performance, systematically erasing the reasons why you would buy a PC instead of a phone. They've tried to sell phone chips in China where there is no free press and they can keep people from talking about the benchmark results, how slow their phone is, how hot it gets, etc.

Intel's idea has been that gaming is playing Candy Crush and they've let AMD steal their fire by making the CPU/GPU SoC for the XB1 and PS4 -- PC gaming has converged with console gaming in many ways, but the common denominator is that Intel integrated graphics is tolerable for the most casual of casual games, and even the recent performance improvements get you to 2 frames per second in League of Legends as opposed to 1. Intel is entirely AWOL when it comes to GPGPU on their integrated graphics but it just isn't worth the effort with their low performance parts.

€30k is only a little under the annual salary in Germany, so I'm suspicious that this figure is somewhat overblown as well.

Wrong.

Libra can still provide hassle-free currency access from within supporting apps and Web sites. Also it can provide "free" transactions whereas FedNow won't be free.

For 99% of legal money senders this removes the need to consider Bitcoin or most shitcoins.

The only use case left for crypto, which Bitcoin itself has somewhat neglected, is anonymous uncensored payments. And that's the one that doesn't work because it's extremely hard to get in and out without being noticed.
At least you can then properly blame the software for doing the wrong thing and potentially patch it. The kernel should not implement global behavior that encourages improper memory allocation failure handling.

I agree that it's clickbaity to question whether e-mail was a mistake, when it has clearly succeeded in being adopted around the world. After decades, nothing better has replaced it - and indeed, it will continue to be a fundamental part of the Internet.

That said, I've recently had to migrate a bunch of email addresses and what a pain it's been. The architecture is kind of a Rube Goldberg machine, seemingly overcomplicated. Add to that the incredible difficulty of hosting your own email server, I wish there would be some innovation to overhaul/redesign it with simplicity and ease of use in mind.

> E-mail is not chat. E-mail is not a todo-list. E-mail is not a tool for massive collaboration.

That sounds like a challenge: why can't we use e-mail for all those activities? I guess it would be too difficult to "bolt on" such functionality on the existing infrastructure..

The fact that people are (trying to) to use it in all these different ways suggests there are architectural limitations - not necessarily a mistake, but room for improvement or an opportunity to rethink it from the ground up.

---

Edit: After having read the article, I think that the limitation of e-mail may actually be an advantange. I love asynchronous communication because there's not an expectation to "be on call" and answer immediately.

If e-mail was redesigned to support activities like chatting and real-time collaboration, it would lose the "async" nature of it, and people would just expect instant replies. I can't stand using chat during work, it's an invitation for anyone to interrupt my thinking process. So, stay clunky e-mail, please take your time!

Curious, what is your quick take on it. It's partially related to this topic. Many small cities in N.America give homeless people free bus tickets to NYC or California, so they don't have to deal with them. This allows small cities no to worry about public transit, and widens the urban/rural divide.

Of course this applies to other providers too - why would you invest and add infrastructure if you have to share it with your competitors anyway? I think allowing providers to use their network contributions exclusively for a certain time, let's say 2 years, is a worthwhile incentive.

Most Surprising Facts About Farting That Everyone Must Know
Farting is one of the most natural body processes in human beings. While some people may hide it or some won’t, the fact is that everyone does fart. Whether at home, office, school, traveling and even sleeping, everyone farts. On average, every person farts for almost 10 to 20 times daily. This release of gas can be stinky, funny as well as embarrassing at times.

Chinese gov blocking specific keywords and network ranges is one thing. Intel censoring reviews is an extraordinary claim... could use some extraordinary evidence.
I really cannot concur. I live in the depths of Bavaria in a small village with ~2000 residents. Our apartment is connected by two 100MBit/s DSL and 500MBit/s Cable lines, set up in failover configuration in case one goes down (which always only happens on Cable for a few minutes, and that setup exists only because I work 100% remote). The village is located in a mountainous region, yet everywhere I go, I have +100Mbit/s LTE available, safe for the completely unpopulated areas between mountains.

For all of this I pay

- 39,99 for the cable
- 29,99 for the DSL
- 30,00 for unlimited LTE

On the other hand, there are very small villages with population < 500 with only 10 or 20Mbit/s DSL available. However, I think that this is to be expected in these areas and any complaint about it is, at least in this day and age, a first world problem and your own fault for living in the middle of nowhere.
I agree. It is dangerous, but I also happen to think that attempting add asterisks to individual freedom runs counter to the spirit of this country. More than that, I believe that few dead bodies matter less than individual freedoms, as sad as those deaths are. We come at this argument from different perspectives.

I think misbehaving root processes are a different case, though: any misbehaviour as root can have dire consequences, which is why running as root is a Bad Plan in general.

Eastern European countries are ...complicated.

The state-owned telcos were privatized in 90-ties, because the state is a bad owner, by ...state owned telcos from the west (Deutsche Telecom, Telefonica, etc). Of course, the first thing they tried was to move the obsolete equipment from their home countries to Eastern Europe for the price of a new one and for the money to get the new equipment in their home countries.

That didn't work out, because new competitors appeared, that built FTTH/Tripple Play networks from the scratch, with very low red tape at the time. That made the old DSL equipment not competetive in the cities (some even wanted to charge based on data transferred via DSLAM, making the flat-rate FTTH even better deal), so the ILECs had to do something with it - which meant to build their own FTTH network. DSLAMs were relegated to country side.

That's how Eastern Europe got fast and cheap fixed-line Internet in their cities. In the country, it is still mixed bag, better bet is LTE & 3G.

>The issue is that when there's a failure of any kind, you can't just "pull-over" in a flying car. You need to land.

Honestly, this (and noise/general nuisance factor) would seem to be the bigger issue than reliable autopilots, which presumably can be gotten to over time.

If you scale up personal flying vehicles to mainstream use, even with a mandatory costly and rigorous maintenance schedule, it's hard not to believe that you'd have lots of these dropping out of the sky and causing fatalities and damage on a daily basis.
Most countries register their citizens to vote too, and have national ID. If you were already registered to vote in the entire union automatically, and you had an ID-card (like the SSN, but actually good for identification with any security built into it) that would work everywhere in the US I wouldn't have a problem with requiring voters to ID themselves.

Why the US refuses to do either of those things, instead putting a lot of hassle on the population when election participation is so low it jeopardizes the fundamentals of democracy, that people feel like the government actually represents them, I have no idea.
They need to settle their master accounts anyway.
This is actually a very narrow way of looking at users. There are plenty of situations that the users aren't aware of their "problem" or "need". In other words, they are not aware, that they could do something more easily, comfortably, etc. Or maybe they are aware, but don't have a solution. These people never fulfil the "hacker" or "expert" condition.

I would even argue, that designing primarily for anyone who could be described as "hacker" or "expert", is a highway to hell. These people have significantly different mind and way of using products (especially tech products), than mass market. So picking up this particular segment is a bad choice for most (not all) products.
You are making things sound way more complicated than they need to be, the situation is actually very simple: if you need to return multiple error codes, use a return value for the error code and give back things via an output parameter, otherwise just use a sentinel value for error (0, -1 or NULL depending on context, they aren't totally random you know, 0 and nonzero are used for false/true, -1 is used when you expect some index and NULL when you expect some object). When in doubt just use an error return code everywhere (e.g. what many Microsoft APIs - even some C++ ones - do with HRESULT).

Interested to see this.

I've done something similar in the past (building models that translated paper drawings into HTML+css) and ultimately found it usually didn't save me much time.

Translating a look into code is much less labor intensive than it once was and code reuse and stylesheet preprocessers and the ilk (webpack, etc) save tons of time.

I'd get something reasonable out of the model but then the actual look and feel work came into play.

My next step was to be able to reference other sites for styling hints but ultimately I wasn't getting enough utility out of it to continue.

Do you find the same with this approach? If so, what plans do you have to take it the next few yards so it's a more comprehensive front end tool.

>The last time I looked at the retail quadcopter/RC plane market, when faced with a communications failure most of the quadcopters would return to the launch point and safely land. None of the RC planes had such a function - most seemed to just turn off the propeller and glide in whatever direction they were facing at the time.

Once you have a quadcopter you've got enough digital hardware and software that adding "return to base" is basically free since it's just an additional software routeine.

RC planes don't already have the required hardware/software to implement a return to base feature because they don't need it and of course nobody is going to greatly increase the cost and complexity of the product just to add that one feature.
