ZFS lets me back up every `apt-get` action, which is useful on Debian Testing:

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/71backup

DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/sbin/zfs snapshot rpool/ROOT/debian@apt-get_$(date '+%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S')";};

When I inevitably break Debian with no time to troubleshoot, I do

# zfs list -t snapshot | grep apt\-get
...
# zfs rollback -r rpool/ROOT/debian@apt-get_<insert time stamp here>

I'm not so sure: I think there's a cultural problem with American policing. I get the sense that US police expect immediate compliance with their Any failure to comply is met with escalation of force rather than with reason. This is the "Ask, Tell, Make" philosophy of policing.

Contrast this with the principles of policing by consent [0] that define the ideals (though not necessarily the reality) of policing in the UK and many other countries.

> Going from a final draft to a published, peer-reviewed paper involves quite a few menial tasks, and scientists will either need to fill those roles themselves, or someone needs to pay someone else.

In computer science, the authors do all of this themselves already. The final pdfs me and my authors produce is what gets published.
I believe that most of what believe about our climate has been pushed by "researchers" operating based on the attached strings, going back to the mid to late 80's, and I also believe that things are much worse than anyone thinks.

The earth and climate was operating in a very delicate balance, and humans disrupted the balance starting with the industrial revolution. Humans kept disrupting the balance until the changes we've wrought pushed the earth and climate past another tipping point, a tipping point where the earth and climate started operating independently of human greenhouse gas output. Which is where we stand today. Human output isn't helping, but we've gone past a point where eliminating our output will bring the system back into balance. The earth itself is now driving the climate changes, not humans.

The earth and climate have 3 very large and powerful positive feedback loops running, warming oceans, thawing permafrost and melting glaciers, and the resource driving all three feedback loops are greenhouse gases. The oceans, permafrost and glaciers harbor massive amounts of greenhouse gases, and typically positive feedback loops don't stop until they run out of resources, and I believe it's true for the 3 I've outlined.

Hubris got us here, "oh, how can humans disrupt the earth and climate, it's so massive, everything will be fine." Back in the day I got labeled as a tree hugging crazy hippy, basically by everyone.

Hubris still driving us, "if we reduce our output just a little bit we can completely change the direction of the earth and climate, this massive system" Today I'm labeled as climate change denier, because I don't think we can fix things, and I'm still labeled as crazy.
I think calling people in to the conversation instead of calling people out is more effective over time--but I totally get what you mean.

One strange consequence of our food industry is that whole, uncooked chicken is more expensive than packages of just chicken breasts, and is the same price as a cooked rotisserie whole chicken all at the same store. Anything specialty, such as "organic" or free range, will add quite a bit on top of that.

Cars have roll cages built into the frame of the vehicle. Thats why they don't crumple under their own weight if they roll. I don't know what kind of Mad Max world you're driving in but an external roll cage and a 4 point harness (as opposed to the 3 point harness already fitted in literally every car) seems like complete overkill for most use cases. Also motorway driving is generally the safest kind of driving, so while your story is certainly evocative I don't think it really justifies your claim that every car should have two roll cages. We don't put cow plows on most cars either, by your logic we probably should.

I like to say "The capabilities of attackers are not bounded by your imagination."

It is possible to get a "security bug" that is technically a security bug, but still isn't really all that important. But you generally want to be very careful in making that assessment, because just because one particular person, even someone fairly skilled in security, doesn't think it can be used to do anything truly harmful doesn't mean that the attackers won't figure something out.

XSS has been a particular rich source of this; it's very easy for someone not too up on security to say "Oh, whoopdedo, it lets you pop up an alert box or change the client side display", when in fact XSS can steal login cookies if you haven't properly secured them (which seems likely to correlate highly with people who don't think XSS is a big problem) and be used to proxy web connections to other resources in the context of the user, conforming to the same-origin policy [1]. So, for instance, with the recent story about a guy finding an XSS in Tesla's service management page, they were correct to respond to that as a serious issue; it wasn't just a way of moderately inconveniencing a service tech, it was a back door into their entire service system, potentially. XSS has a huge mismatch between the general developer's impression of its severity and its actual severity.

This is not completely true. Especially in VoIP, there are usually 1-5 layers of FCC-licensed phone companies involved in the call. The CLEC (Bandwidth, Level 3, AT&T, Comcast, et al) sell their numbers to Class 3 ITSPs like Flowroute, SIP.US, VOIP.ms, SIPSTATION, Twilio, etc, and then frequently that service is once again sold to another vendor that might have an actual end-user using the service. Just because one company's switch says "where the call came from" does not mean anything related to the actual calling party.

Too bad. THAT would still be a great discussion. No doubt Levin could learn a thing or two from McKenzie.
The first company I worked for was a high integrity systems/software firm. Getting your Chartered Engineer (CEng) status was seen as part of your professional development for most of the engineers.

It isn't required however. Most of the focus was put on the process being followed (DO178B, IEC 61508, or their equivalents which I've now forgotton) rather than the compentence of specific individuals. It's more of an organisational view of competance rather than focusing on individuals.

I’m a Christian: a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be precise. I served a two-year volunteer mission [1] in Germany, and I read the Bible and the Book of Mormon a lot in both English and German during that time. This helped me tremendously. I now speak fluent German.

It also makes a nice yardstick: you start out having to look at the original text after every verse. Soon you are able to start reading verses, chapters, then entire books without referencing your native language.

Yep. This applies to so many things. Watching your diet? Lifting weights? Learning to code? People will emphasize so many tips, micro-optimizations, recommendations, etc. that can be intimidating and add a ton of work to your plate. But simply showing up every day is 95% of what matters.
With the internet, they can build self-reinforcing “communities” on the basis of hate, intolerance, or really anything.

As you say, such "communities" existed before the Internet. It's just that now, they can better organize to affect the real world. I think Forrest Gump's observation applies here. Even 8chan had some sort of ideology justifying what they said and did. Even the worst scoundrels of history used words like "love" and justice." (And yes, Godwin's Law comes into play if we go down that rabbit hole! So let's not.) If we are to gauge how toxic a group is, I think we need to go to first principles and measure how driven by viral outrage an online group is.

It's natural for people to come together because they are outraged. However, when continuing the cycle of outrage, driving more attention, driving group membership, driving more outrage continues for its own sake, there is a problem. It shouldn't be outrage and attention driving a group. It should be higher principles.

Unfortunately, outrage is a fundamental fuel of virality in 2019. Today, we need to be skeptical of actors who lean too heavily on the cycle of outrage, whether they're openly reprehensible, or if they merely dress their movement in high language.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE3j_RHkqJc

In 2019, the world has long known to be skeptical of religions gone wrong, which we call cults. We need to develop the same kind of skepticism to groups actually ruled by outrage, not principle.
The modern Hippocratic Oath says that. The original one Hippocrates promulgated and the ones taken by European physicians followed for centuries afterwards explicitly prohibited things like surgery.

"I will not use the knife, not even, verily, on sufferers from stone"

Pre-antibiotics and pre-clinical trials that wasn't as unreasonable a position as it would be now. Of course some European medical workers did perform surgeries, just lower class ones who didn't take an oath.

1) Energy density matters. You cite no data to back your claims up, in fact the opposite is true. Lithium batteries pack just as much energy per kg. Lithium is at 41.7 kJ per gram [0], Oil is at 45 kJ per gram [1]

Battery tech has more room for improvement than the hard chemical/physical limits of oil.

2) Job creation is a farce. We don't more oil riggers any more than we need more lamplighters and switchboard operators. If you want to ensure everyone has a good quality of life - a basic income looks more promising.[2]

Part:

- Confirmation bias. You remember the irrelevant ads, because they made you do a double take, they stood out as unusual.

- The terrible ads are actually effective at getting clicks from people with similar interests, but less of an aversion to ads, less ad-blindness due to depression, more willing to buy online, ...

- Especially with retargeting (what you describe with the fridge), the CTR is higher than with non-retargeted ads. But it is also one of the most visible forms of advertisement (everyone has a story similar to you, where they get followed by ads after looking at cars or fridges).

The online ad industry fuels the likes of Google and Facebook. Tremendous engineering and research effort goes into making these systems more efficient. Personalization and tracking of preferences is at the state of the art for these companies. Though not the potential best, it is close to the best possible we can do with ML right now.

i think the original 1947 UN proposition of partition was accepted by the jews and not the arab population of the region (at the time we didn't use the term "palestinian" to speak of arabs living there). This was the best time because the situation was a bit more symetrical then. Just two people on one land who couldn't live next to each others and had to be split.
I am glad that you "don't care" about breaking a few million phone systems across the world. Every single IT manager, however, does care. If you start having carriers wholesale-blocking calls based on their lack of STIR/SHAKEN's verifications, then you will completely disable the vast majority of IP- and POTS-based phone systems in the country, many of which were purchased/installed in the early-2000's.

You can have the "I don't care" attitude when you have one telephone number in your life. You have to care when you have a couple hundred thousand telephone numbers in your life, like I do, working for a Class 3 ITSP.

They are not mutually exclusive:

- Use HoTT or any other type theory as a logic / foundation of math.

- Use Hoare logic to reason about programs, using your logic / foundation of math to deal with inferences that are not given by the rules of your Hoare logic, i.e. for Hoare's "Rule of Consequence".

There are several ways of connecting the two. One is Hoare type theory [1]. Another is using Characteristic Formulae [2, 3].

I'm still not convinced that that sentence wasn't meant to imply this generalization. (Whether the author has deliberately written the sentence like that or subconsciously, I can't say.)

Besides that, bringing in nationalities was completely useless. The author had already established that low cost contractors yield bad results, so why tie that to nationalities needlessly? It adds nothing to the text except for a slightly racist undertone and a bash on engineers of these nationalities.

>You're 100% wrong. Many people, especially big trucks, have swerved off the road to avoid killing people and animals. If you'd ever taken a defensive driving course, you'd know that it's always quicker to steer avoid collision than it is to brake.

You are 100% failing to properly parse my comment. I'm expressly saying that braking with zero regard for the situational details is not ideal but it accomplishes the goals of a self driving car.

* react to situations in a manner similiar to and predictable by humans

* not make any important stakeholders more likely to get sued

My first take on this is that Tesla hasn't placed enough former employees at NHTSA yet.
There probably is some certain math, but I don't personally know it. I will say you will be functionally a third cofounder so if your negotation skills are up to snuff then yes you can angle for that. 2nd employee certainly cannot argue for that like you can. Might as well. At the very least take 5% since that is what a bunch of early executives will want and they will be likely building less of the actual tech stack than you.

These "ultra low emissions" coal plants are designed to limit emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulates. If all the emissions control equipment is used as designed it will reduce acid rain and smog. It won't reduce carbon dioxide emissions though.

The other problem that China has had is getting coal plants to run their emissions control equipment all the time, even when inspectors aren't on site: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-coal-power/china-of...

Beijing has spent billions of yuan creating a surveillance system to monitor companies around the clock. In 2013, the state launched a nationwide crackdown after the Ministry of Environmental Protection accused plants of trying to cut costs by turning off or manipulating emissions control equipment.
