Great context on one of my favorite thinkers. I learned something I hadn't seen in other profiles, his views on family therapy/double bind theory were influenced by losing a sibling to suicide. Makes perfect sense.

I wish Bateson hadn't been so averse to getting involved in the controversy over double bind/family therapy. I admire the high-mindedness and invitation to systemic change, but unfortunately without his advocacy his ideas have gotten largely ignored by the mainstream psychiatric community.

This is a great quote:

> To one accusation that he was not taking the organic aspect of the disease seriously, Bateson replied:

I will concede that schizophrenia is as much a ‘disease’ of the ‘brain’ as it is a ‘disease’ of the ‘family’, if Dr Stevens will concede that humour and religion, art and poetry are likewise diseases of the brain or of the family or both.
I'm saying in a world where equifaxsecurity2017.com is a real domain, and securityequifax2017.com is a fake one that the real Equifax Twitter account posted[1], domain authentication is not authentication at all. As such, without EV, TLS provides essentially no security, correct.

And even for well-known domains, https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com/ (currently still works in Firefox) is an excellent example of why domain validation remains completely useless.

Half Dome is the only lottery-limited trail, and only the very end of the trail, at that.

Other than the entry fee, and a campsite fee if you're camping, there are no other fees.
Those are upsides.

For a dynamic language, i'd want:

* A REPL

* A language-browsable std lib or trivial reflection

* A consistent API where expectations are reusable

* eg., polymorphic operators "do the right thing"

* Optional typing

* Typing, when present, facilitates polymorphism

* Data processing handed off to fast VM plugins

* Target of major trans-lang libraries (eg., Spark, et al.)

* Good long-running performance

* Community preference for minimalism and clarity

* Easy package management

* Modern functional primitives (eg., comprehensions)

* Modern OO primitives (eg., extension methods)

* Modern metaprogramming primitivates (eg., reified classes)

And probably others. Each poorly provided feels like taking a big step back; and just an injury to my productivity.

I'm not sure I'd get over how manically procedural PHP is; how sequential by nature. Every OO or functional addition runs against its grain and feels random and accidental.
> Where did the idea of google neutrality come from?

From Google. They've stated time and time again that it's a magic algorithm and they don't hand-pick winners and losers. And it's a good thing, too, otherwise you're just inviting corruption. Top spots are literally worth millions, and if there's an small army of people that decide who ranks where, they are an obvious target for bribes.

This doesn't look that hand picked, though, more like somebody didn't check what would happen if they rolled out some algo change and targeted way too broad.
I wonder how much capacity it takes to power a parking lot full of street lights vs a parking lot full of Teslas. I imagine it's a wide gap - each Tesla draws about 1.4 kW[1], while each streetlight draws 80 watts[2].

I think it's really easy to focus on the big hitters and forget they are the exceptions. Yes, matching lapack, any GUI toolkit, a browser engine, and a handful of other things is a big challenge that takes its own community to overcome, not something any language community can do with an incidental fraction of the community's available firepower.

But those are the exceptions, and often you don't need a best-of-breed solution and may prefer the language-native one.

Again, I'm not theorizing about what could be here; I'm looking out in the world, where I see that most libraries tend to emerge out into a native version if the underlying language can possibly meet the basic requirements for performance and such. This is something that needs to be explained, not explained away.

Also... I love me some Haskell, and on a per capita basis the community is great, but if Rust's community isn't already several times larger and growing faster, I'd be stunned, just to pick one example. Haskell has some very interesting cases of best-of-breed libraries, but it doesn't exhibit the library profusion you get from sheer personpower. (Of course, it doesn't really have the problems you get when your libraries are generated by sheer personpower either.)
Yes, those are the extremes. But the more common case seems to me that you are an app developer selling user data.

In this scenario, the app developer certainly has an interest not to be intercepted, however the user and actual owner of the device likely would benefit from interception.
I think you sometimes need a new word or term to better capture an idea. I quite like the idea of mircomastery. We'll have to wait and see if it's one that survives though.
I'm not sure what to draw from this- the 7 "myths" being busted here aren't being shown to be wrong, just not the entire truth 100% of the time, and AFAICT no alternative approaches are suggested.

For example, item 2 ("Simplify") tries to debunk the notion that simpler systems are more robust. The author seems to be trying to say, "simplifying a system isn't always going to make it more robust". Likewise, item 1 ("Add redundancy") tries to debunk the notion that redundant systems are more robust. Item 7 ("Remove the people who cause accidents") tries to debunk the notion that if you have someone who is always screwing stuff up, getting rid of that person will help you.

But...OK, I get it, none of these things are silver bullets or sacred cows or whatever. But what's the suggestion? Make systems more complicated? Avoid redundancy? Keep people around who always screw stuff up? This would make a lot more sense if it was presented as things which might help, but shouldn't be thought of as silver bullets that will automatically fix everything. Instead it's presented as myths being debunked, implying that the "myths" aren't just imperfect, but wrong, which doesn't make sense to me. Simpler is better than overly complicated. Redundancy doesn't solve everything but can certainly help. Getting rid of terrible employees who never seem to improve is generally a good idea. The way the list is presented seems not actionable at best, and misleading at worst.
If you don't mind me asking why would you want to do this? We are working on technology for a "digital twin" and have not really thought about applying it to inside the home. What benefits are there of knowing where you/other people are around the home?

I would like you to answer my questions concerning "how you came across this paper, and what about it lead you to conclude it was a more accurate source of information".

You haven't done that.

Obviously I am not suggesting what you think I did, as I've already answered your question by saying "we've improved our understanding of the temperature records" since 25 and 50 years ago, respectively.

I don't think you are denying that fact, just like I don't think you are suggesting that that older sources of information are automatically more correct than more recent ones.

I'm asking why you believe the publication you pointed to is more accurate than the xkcd comic.

What's the point of bringing up the Dansgaard–Oeschger events? The most recent D-O event was about 11,500 years ago, while the chart in Nurtaev and Nurtaev only goes back to 11,000 years ago.

Plus, if you believe the smoothing in Nurtaev and Nurtaev is valid then you must surely believe the smoothing in the xkcd comic is valid.

If you don't like the smoothing in the xkcd comic, the relevant source - cited as Marcott et al. (2013) - is "A Reconstruction of Regional and Global Temperature for the Past 11,300 Years", in Science, available from http://content.csbs.utah.edu/~mli/Economics%207004/Marcott_G... . You'll note it cites Oeschger, and describes the 73 globally distributed records used, and several different methods used to estimate the global temperature anomaly, along with associated errors.

How did Nurtaev and Nurtaev come up with their graph, that being a paper which you suggest is a good source for scientific argument? Which temperature records were used? How was the curve fitting done? What are the estimated errors?

Quite clearly at least one of them is wrong as Nurtaev and Nurtaev give a 0.5C global temperature rise above baseline during the "Medieval warm period", while Marcott et al. show it at about baseline, with a 0.5C temperature rise being above the uncertainty band.

How did you decide that the Marcott et al. paper (and hence xkcd) is less likely to be correct than Nurtaev and Nurtaev?

> A language by itself is probably not even in the top 3 considerations when choosing new tech. Stuff like runtime, ecosystem and the amount of available developers would probably be more important in most cases.

Totally depends on a domain. In serious mission critical software you wont use libraries, but will use the language.

I've found that those same young kids also don't tolerate long periods in the car very well. The periodic stops to charge work pretty well - you stop, plug in the car, then take them to grab a bite to eat and blow off some steam.

(Then you end up having to go unplug the fully-charged car long before they finish eating!)
Oh boy, alarmism at its finest. Crop yields are up anywhere from 50-100%. Livestock numbers are stable. Food supply is more than secure. Sea level rise, is fairly minimal at 3mm a year. Certainly not cause for doom and gloom. Certainly manageable. Basic needs of humanity are: food, water, and shelter. None of which is in danger or even remotely close to danger levels. The idea that the human race is any remote kind of danger is bogus.
You are probably going to spend more energy than that just lugging around solar panels.

One shot delimited continuations capture strictly more state than a simple async/await implementation. The latter only captures bindings that are referenced after resumption, thus naturally implementing a sort of liveness analysis that discards unnecessary state. You could of course do the same thing during regular compilation, but it's not strictly necessary, and the interaction with GC means this state could potentially live much longer.

That said, the extra object headers from heap-allocated activations will make up some of the difference.

That solution could be rephrased as:

“Make poor people poorer”.

The price increases won’t impact the wealthy, even if they did have to reduce their travel by 10-20%. But it will impact those that save (or pay-off) for years for their dream trip or honeymoon trip.

My preferred approach would be more progressive than regressive: just make rich people poorer through income/capital/dividend taxes.
> because they think that past growth was paid for with past success, when the reality is that it was paid for with current success.

Wow, great contribution. I appreciate so much when anyone can pull a nugget out of my ramblings and explain it back to me in a clearer way.

To add on to what you said and to bring this back to infrastructure, I think another challenge in the plateau phase is that you either need to spend a lot to keep old infrastructure working or massively reinvest to upgrade the infrastructure. If you've plateaued without expectations of future success, where do you get the funds to do either?
Seems as though robots would do a much better job. I'm imagining a giant spider that walks into a minefield with its armored body fairly high above the ground. The body very methodically scans, probes, digs, ...whatever works. Its probes sometimes get blown off and are replaced from a quiver. A leg is occasionally blown off, but a spider can keep working without a leg or two. At the end of its shift, it walks out and has its legs fixed. A big hook on its back can be snagged to helicopter it out in case it is immobilized by an uncaught exception.

From the link:

If you’re a JavaScript developer, you’ve probably seen this error more than you care to admit. This one occurs in Chrome when you read a property or call a method on an undefined object.

Does typing stop null object errors in JS, Java or C for that matter? No. You need to continually check for null objects in all langs I use including Python. It seems most of the bugs on that page are of a similar vein.

Electric Scooters are also extending the range people are willing to walk, making short trips much more convenient, and leveraging distant transit much easier.

>People often wonder how this is fair.

And that will fairly be debated until the end of time. Some jurisdictions do not have joint and several liability and so your example of liability being capped up to their % of their contributory negligence is a reality. Even in the joint and severally liable jurisdictions, there will be a finding of contributory negligence, but its pretty well understood a jury can't fairly assign %'s of fault anyway.

However, as someone who sees the reality of these cases, the guy with the deep pockets really doesn't pay either, their insurance pays, and this is really where things get both weird and fair. Say you hit me with your car and I file a claim with my insurance and your insurance, the insurance companies work it out behind the scene (and I promise they do these settlements in their own best interest, not the insured (your) or the claimants best interests (mine)) and insurance does this knowing tomorrow they will work together on another claim where the other insurance company will be liable.

Insurance issues aside, if it weren't for joint and several liability these deep pockets you reference would never be liable, they would always out spend the criminal defendant in attorney's fees and likely be attributed almost no % of liability. Joint and several liability encourages the fair settlement of cases to save time and money to all parties, and gives the claimant the best chance of being made whole, whereas these other system encourages outspending the other parties in litigation and disincentives settlements of claims, shifting a lot of costs on tax payers who pay for the courts.

It seems like it depends what you mean by "doomed". Suppose a volcano erupts and lava is flowing towards your town. You can try to stop it or get out of the way.

To an individual person, climate change is like a lava flow. Going at it with a shovel isn't going to do a whole lot. Something larger scale is needed.

So, as you say, we can get involved in politics and try to get the really big scale changes going. But, for individuals, I think figuring out how to get out of the way is more practical.

> The problem is, what do you do about it?

Set a realistic goal.

Total disarmament is unrealistic. But if the nuclear arsenals of the US and Russia could be brought down to hundreds, instead of thousands of weapons, we'd all be much better off.

We can make that happen, by demanding that our government makes the following things a priority:

1. Some small, unilateral, token-of-good-faith reduction in arms stockpiles.

2. Combined with making more serious, tit-for-tat arms reduction a diplomatic goal.

This isn't some novel idea. We have done this during the Cold war. We just need to do it, again.
