> But would you call the green light blue? Because I know some Japanese who do

But that was not my point. Obviously, color categories are not fixed and may differ from culture to culture, yet you still know that "wine" (classified as red in western culture) has a different color than a traffic light. It does not matter that Japanese would call the green light blue, the same color they would (probably) say a clear summer sky has, because just like you would recognize that a red traffic light has a different color than red wine, Japanese would recognize that a clear-blue sky has a different color than a "blue" traffic light.

Every time this color discussion comes up, I am surprised people find this so interesting. Of course there are different names for different things in different languages / cultures. Of course these names often have a wider or a narrower set of semantic meaning than in your native language / culture, and this will of course lead to some "strange" word / concept / category overlap. But this is just unavoidable if unrelated groups of people build a categorical representation of a continuous world in their brains.

If you have ever tried to learn a single foreign language, you instinctively know this, and these color category differences shouldn't come as any surprise to you.
Yes! We really, really need scientists to be elevated above politics.

Scientists who can talk freely (and be respected for their views) about climate change. And unborn babies. And all sorts of other topics where their honest and well-researched opinions can be useful.

As it is today, scientists are often used as a political force ('March for Science', eh?)
All this does is render them mute to half the audience. It also leads to embarassing over-reaches and over-statements, which again diminish respect for their work.

We really, really need for politics to be removed from science.

This is good that you are calling this out.

I've seen non-science in Healthcare, and I've spoke out against it. I don't really understand why people are stubborn when there is data, and the data is solid.

If I could wish anything in software engineering- follow the data.
> But that's not the worst issue. The real problem is: under what license is the whole kernel, once you linked together the common Linux parts (which are under GPL2) and the ZFS parts (which are under the CDDL)? The "mere aggregation" provisions of GPL2 clearly don't apply, and the licenses are incompatible (on purpose, it's been documented that CDDL was intentionally made incompatible with the GPL). Since the CDDL can't apply (due to the GPL parts), and the GPL can't apply (due to the CDDL parts), distributing the combined whole would be a copyright violation.

I asked for the counter argument, so, thank you—but this strikes me as totally silly. If I distribute a zip file with a Linux ISO and an OpenSolaris ISO, is that also a copyright violation?

It seems to me, the Linux kernel and the ZFS module aren't actually being put together until they arrive on the user's machine, and at that point, redistribution is irrelevant.
You forgot car loans. A few years ago my wife was offered an 84 month loan when she was unemployed. Very few people keep a car for 84 months. I'm sure there will be a lot of people underwater on those loans pretty soon.
I insist on a manual, and have declined to buy cars I otherwise liked because they didn't make a manual transmission model.

I don't have a lot of experience with fully electric cars, but I've always read that the torque on electric cars makes the transmission unnecessary.

Is that not so? Have you had a bad experience?

My mistake. Apparently there are stratifications within Level 2, and I've mostly encountered 240V 3.8KW chargers, which are about 12 mph, but there are also 240V 7.6KW chargers at about 26 mph.

Level 1 charging makes sense at an office park if it's nearly ubiquitous. If it's a crap shoot whether you'll get a space or not, it becomes much less valuable. And it's still useless for public charging (mostly confined to mall and store parking lots) because you can't leave your car there for the 8+ hours it takes to get a decent charge. BTW, my research says 4.5mph for Level 1 which makes even 8 hours of charging underwhelming.

For any space where you can only park for a few hours (3 hours is a commonly enforced limit), then anything less than Level 2 7.6KW is a waste of space.

Level 3 chargers are huge and expensive, as you point out, and will probably be limited to dedicated charging stations for the foreseeable future.
Resources are allocated to their constraints. You spend as much money as you have, as much time as you have, you hire as many people as you can afford, and so on.

It may be because people don't think on an absolute time scale but rather a relative one; if you make 1 million in revenue and you only have 3 employees, you might feel like you should hire more. What happens if you start making one billion in revenue?

Certainly not all investing is gambling, but picking individual stocks and timing the market are pretty close to gambling.

Warren Buffet started and made much of his fortune when there were more inefficiencies in the market. It's not clear that the same method would work today.

With all of he data and speed that goes into trading, it's pretty unlikely that you have an informational edge unless you're able to pay for more data sources than everyone else and you have an army of humans looking for patterns for you. That is you need to spend a great deal of money getting that edge. Presumably that is somewhat what Renaissance is doing.

Even then you have to deal with the fact that insider trading is essentially instantaneous with modern communication and trading platforms.

It's available for purchase now. Uniherz have a track record of delivering. Two phones now delivered as per promises of their previous Kickstarters. I have one of them (the Jelly Pro) and am completely satisfied with it.

Cultures with few color words are, generally, those without paints to choose among. You just don't need any particular precision about colors if you don't need to make decisions about them.

People from cultures we like to call "primitive" are routinely astonished at how blind most of us are to critical distinctions in their world. Imagine, we have only one kind of uncle! "We" doesn't say whether the listener is included, or whether the group are all blood relatives. There's no end to this stuff, including in ancient Greek, so quibbling about color distinctions when we have to wash out so much to translate is distinctly ... hick.

> This is important because Autopilot has proven itself to be safer than a human driver by a significant degree: a crash only occurs with Autopilot engaged approximately every 2.87 million miles, as opposed to traditional cars being manually driven which results in a crash every 436,000 miles.

This is an extraordinarily deceptive statistic, since it compares:

- Predominantly highway miles (driven on Autopilot) to miles driven in the overall mix of conditions where incidents are much more common

- Incidents in Tesla's relatively new vehicle fleet, which has safety features like AEB, to vehicles of all ages and technology levels in the entire U.S. fleet

Looks like AMD expected Intel would actually start to fight back a few years ago when AMD started the Zen and Rome cores, and AMD has been running full steam ahead since then. Meanwhile, in reality, Intel dropped the ball and was too slow to react, and now AMD has basically leapfrogged them. What a time to be alive.

I didn't write this thing, I'm just saying that the claims it makes are not the claims you say it makes. 'Functionally equivalent' is a bit like 'Turing complete' - it makes it easy to say something so true it's not actually interesting.

It's not some major discovery or controversial claim that Electron apps are an even more convenient and easier-to-leverage vector for exploitation than regular old binaries. But writing some blog post about it (they didn't give the vuln a name, they didn't rent it shoes, they aren't buying it a beer) does not warrant the weird invective you're throwing at it.
> Transpiling to JS may be a product of other motives (Typescript, Svelte, Elm etc.)

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying those tools should be avoided too or are you saying they are an exception to the "avoid complexity" rule?

I don't understand what you mean. What does Ruby have to do with anything? Also, what do you mean by lie?

> Bottom line, JS isn't my favorite language

Ok. That's fine. So what?

Would you care to elaborate on this? What would you consider to the be the advantages and what makes the complexity disadvantage outweigh them?

> I'm questioning a lot of the group-think decisions.

What is there to question? Don't use tools just because other people are using them, when you encounter a specific problem you want to solve, evaluate the available tools for solving it.

I'm not sure what you're asking here. Are you asking why people use state managers when building js applications on the web?
Oh, I get the appeal of land. Country living makes sense to me, and appeals. Done that. I like dense, walkable 'burbs, with nearby stuff to do, too.

Not a fan of apartment living (at least not for a family) though I get why people like it. What I don't like and can't understand the appeal of are typical low-density-but-not-low-density-enough suburbs, though. Worst of both worlds—few or no things in walking distance, not enough space to do much with or keep the neighbors away, but enough you have to own some stuff to keep it up, and the neighbors mean you have to keep it up. Ugh. Unfortunately it's that or suburban apartments (now that may truly be the worst of all options) if you want decent or good schools, in our city. Schools in denser areas are mostly bad, schools in the country are mostly bad. It sucks.

> Take a look at cricket -- it's both longer, more boring and dramatically more popular than baseball.

There has been a lot of innovation in cricket to make the limited overs form of the game more spectacular for modern audiences. Test cricket is the purest form of the sport and contains elements that are missing from the shorter versions but limited overs has experimented with a lot of rule changes over the years in an attempt to balance the game for the audience.

They limit the number of deliveries for any single bowler(pitcher). This means you have all rounders in the team who perhaps get hit a bit more. Imagine if a baseball team was required to share the load amongst 5 pitchers. And they have fielding restrictions in the game to balance things otherwise teams tend to start slow so they don't get out and chase runs towards the end.

But there's no way they're going to see those return on late stage investments? For Uber to 10x from their current market cap, they'd have to be worth ~$700 bn. That seems hard to achieve, let alone multiples in higher orders of magnitude.
We might not have a particular word to call out those distinctions, but they’re hardly mysterious. They can be described in a couple or a few words, and everybody would understand. They just aren’t considered important enough to warrant a dedicated word.

Not drawing a distinction between blue and dark, however, is quite alien. And there isn’t anything hick about admitting that.
I asked someone in ad tech why “pay to remove the ads” is unheard of.

Think about it from the advertisers’ perspective:

You have a user base with a bunch of people. The ones that paid you to remove ads are, at least on average, wealthier than those that don’t. They certainly have disposable income.

In other words, the people that paid for a subscription are exactly the fraction of the audience the advertiser is paying for access to!

Of course, this argument falls apart for per-user targeted ads when ad blockers are prevalent. However, it makes perfect sense for display ads that are targeted based on content, or audience demographics, such as traditional mass media: tv, radio and newspapers.

In fact, the logic seems to extend to any website that is trying to charge an above-bottom-feeder premium for ad real estate.

They probably rely on network segmentation to keep the various components separated. If they consider the segmentation to be 100% effective, there'd be no need to do the kind of in-depth testing you advocate. I don't think it's justifiable to assume that segmentation doesn't have its own bugs that could be exploited.
> I can tell you traffic lights are extremely insecure.

All municipal infrastructure tends to be. It's usually implemented to a cost and security considerations are completely absent.

You can bet that in any given city, all those street light control cabinets are keyed alike and the city has no true idea who has keys and who doesn't.

This exact problem applies to so many domains it's literally for lack of effort that they haven't been exploited yet.

The economics of commodities brick and mortar business are very tight.

The reason is because they are... wait for it: commodities.

If the owner is not working the business himself he has to hire someone to do it and along with it goes any chance of making a profit.

If you want to have a side brick and mortar business you have to work on it yourself (and take all the hard work and hours it takes) or accept that you will barely take a dollar out of it.

For such a thing to pay back a decent amount you have to have many of them and that will still probably require a lot of attention just like a full time job, but now as a manager.

I don’t know the reason behind the question but if you are looking for passive income, you should go in the opposite direction.
"PHP is fast to write. Hearing people from the outside saying its impossible to write a php site that quickly makes me laugh. PHP makes development easy."

Perhaps if the "anti-car" argument is framed more precisely, you'll see that it's entirely consistent with using a car for those 4:30 am trips to the airport. What all these efforts seek to minimize is not all car travel for all people, but rather routine car travel for many/most people. That includes, first and foremost, daily work commutes, because that's what dictates road capacity necessary to make traffic jams manageable, so that's the kind of car travel that's a) most expensive for society b) leads to cityscapes that are uncomfortable or actively hostile for pedestrians and cyclists. The way to do that is by giving them a viable alternative, not merely inconveniencing them by, say, neglecting highways and calling it a day. A city where commutes by public transit are a viable option* for, say, 3/4 of the population is a city where the other 1/4 has fewer traffic jams to contend with, and where that same 3/4 can make an economically rational decision to spend $150 a month on Uber instead of owning a car, which will cover airport trips, grocery trips, etc.
They are a late stage investor, so their bets are expected to be expensive. They are also not looking for quick returns, but rather counting on their portfolio companies to substantially change the industry that they operate in over the long term. i.e. Uber for driverless cars, semis, logistics, shipping. WeWork for pulling off spaces-as-a-service globally (for offices, apartments, schools, lifestyle services). Slack being able to shift enterprise communication and collaboration away from email and Microsoft products.

As long as the code isn't abstracted more han 1 or two layers deep, it's commented in places where the control flow isn't that intuitive, and follows best practices for whatever the kids of languages is, it doesn't matter if it's home spun. Just being "home grown" is not synonymous with bad software. At the end of the day, just using frameworks are no guarantee that the code is readable and maintainable. Usually by the time someone is looking at your code to rewrite or update it, what seemed like an awesome choice of framework at the time can end up being a nightmare to parse as documentation has dried up, forums that were the sole source of knowledge are offline, and now your once amazing code is just garbage to the poor coder trying to make sense of the random abstractions of the framework.
Isn't ADA required? I worked with Air Force C2 platforms for east European NATO programs and the systems I was working with (one was called ASOC) was, at it's core, ADA. We also had civilian ATC in our facility and a few of those devs played on our softball team all writing ADA as well. But, it was part of the design spec and non-negotiable per FAA, Air Force, etc as far as I remember.
