It's actually a 100km/h collision done twice. Each car goes from 100 to 0, not from 200 to 0. There's twice the energy but it's distributed across the two cars so for each one it's equivalent to hitting a stationary wall.

That said, based on this video I don't think an actual 200km/h is anywhere near survivable for the average modern car:

> Responsibility for justice.

That's one of the most stupid politically correct ideas of the modern times. Thinking descendants of perpetrators owe anything to descendant of victim fails to account that, in most cases, the victims would actually have done the same than th eperpetrators had they be in the similar position of power (see slavery / natives vs europeans). It's bullshit. It's human nature that people abuse people. It's never a race/ people / specific group issue.
Feedly isn’t free. Site says basic/free is limited to “100 sources and 3 feeds”. It’s freemium. OP says they have over 100 feeds (which would be sources in this case, no clue what feeds are).

Perhaps some environmental changes have caused people to think more about whether or not they're introverts. Open offices seem like a strong candidate to me (but there might well be others).
I think most people imagine straws are a trivial and completely unnecessary luxury item that everyone can give up painlessly -- aside from seriously disabled people, whose voices don't count for much to most people, in part because I think most people imagine disabled people are some trivial percentage of the population. Reality: most stats cite 15-20% of the population as disabled and one study found that if you don't use stigmatizing language -- like disabled or handicapped -- then 60% of people admit to having varying degrees of difficulties with various tasks of day-to-day life.

"I keep on hearing AI claimed as an extinction level threat yet never has an actual mechanism been given - just a pile of tropes taken as dogma."

I believe that is the point I'm making: by digitizing the human experience and optimizing certain easily-optimized chains of thought, you will never see the mechanism; nor will I.

There is no mechanism in the sense you seem to be asking for.

This is a preponderance of the evidence argument, not a geometric one, so even if we completely understand one another, it's perfectly fine for you to feel the point hasn't been made and I to feel like it has.

We all know various situations where people are given what they ask for and it ends up destroying them. People who suddenly win the lottery don't generally have a bright future ahead of them. People with paranoia issues who spend a lot of time off medications alone researching things usually don't end up in a good place. Rebellious youths experimenting with opiates are in a dangerous place. Isolated social groups with tight moral strictures have problems in a larger secular society.

I don't know how many of these situations you'd like listed, but there are easily dozens, and that's speaking in a generic sense. Once you start individually customizing the scenarios, say an isolated youth with some tendencies towards paranoia living in a tightly-controlled social group, the scenarios expand without limitations.

And that's what current AI promises, customized experiences in various situations based on all sorts of variables you and I may never have considered. You do this with every person, in more and more situations, and the impact is undecidable. Yes, you don't get it. The reasoning doesn't hold up. That's because if I could make a specific case about one particular scenario, it wouldn't be applicable to the argument I'm making.

I wish I could say we're performing a wide scale social experiment that we've never seen before. But the word "experiment" implies a lot of agency that isn't there. We're just mucking around with millions of variables simultaneously across a population of billions and telling people that because there's nothing obviously bad to be seen, nothing bad must be there. Then we end up reading these vague studies about how teens who use their cell phones more are more unhappy than those who don't -- and we're unable to process that information in any reasonable context. We're expecting to be able to reason about AI, but if we could do that, we wouldn't need the AI in the first place.

There shouldn't be allowed to be a top 1% of internet users.
>Is there any cost that an ISP company has related to the amount of data transferred? All the costs that I'm aware of are related to the bandwidth, not the total transmitted data (eg.: IX connections and such).

the more data you have to transfer the more bandwidth you need to have available to be able to offer some desired throughput to your customers
I don't understand how this answers the question "Is there any cost that an ISP company has related to the amount of data transferred?". This all sounds like maintenance and they'd have that if I use 1GB or 1TB.
But aside that, I think that beyond the "we can charge you for data because you can", the per-data-transferred costs come from the overprovisioning ISPs do. The fraction of the advertised to actually supported bandwidth per user they can get away with is dependent on average amount of traffic users generate.

How do data caps help with that though? People are still going to use most of their internet during peek hours, because...well, those are the times people use the internet the most, by definition.

It's like trying to combat rush hour traffic problems by limiting the number of times people can use a highway. People are still going to use it during rush hour, they just are going to avoid using the highway during non-rush hour periods, which accomplishes nothing.

Checked last night and yes I do. Guess I'll be keeping a closer eye on my USB cables.

I rarely plug my phone into a computer, but I suppose this works just as well for any other USB device with a removable cord.

USB-C is probably safe for now on account of the smaller connectors.

The article tries to argue that Classical Chinese is singularly foreign

> ... a fourth reason for the complexity of the topic of this entry is also the reason significantly responsible for its being the only one of its kind in this Encyclopedia. There are no entries under “Translating and Interpreting…” for Greek philosophy, for example, nor German Idealism or French Postmodernism. Even Indian philosophy lacks such an entry. This fact should bring home not just the singularity of the classical Chinese written language, compared to contemporary languages derived from the proto-Sanskrit Indo-European family of languages written in alphabet scripts, but remind us as well of the greater distance between Chinese and other cultures from past to present.

but thankfully acknowledges that the situation isn't so simple even for those other languages

> ... it is highly unlikely that by utilizing a Sanskrit vocabulary Kant’s philosophy is going to come through a translation at all clearly.

The focus on vocabulary and the meaning of individual characters gives me the impression of someone trying to understand a text in a foreign language purely by consulting a dictionary, whose definitions may very well have been guessed from the text you're trying to read! Then the difference to French or German or even Ancient Greek is that a translator can be reasonably expected to become fluent in that language, whereas Classical Chinese is more like Biblical Hebrew. There, too, contradictory translations proliferate, with ambiguities and gaps left by forgotten words leaving plenty of wiggle room for the translator to insert their favored interpretation.

I am an introvert, but people at work usually don’t realize it for quite a while. I spent years “training” myself to be sociable and can do so quite effectively, but I still dislike it and would much rather be alone. Sometimes that builds up to the point where I need to take time off work just to recover from social interaction.

Paying for bandwidth makes sense. More infrastructure is needed to move more bits around.

Paying for data transferred does not. Data isn't limited like water or electricity.

There ought to be a law that advertising a plan as "unlimited" is disallowed if there is a cap.
I had to turn in the Macbook Pro at the Apple store and it took them more than a week to return it. They had to ship to a centralized repair center. I doubt anyone got to watch.
I don't think this directly impacts a cost per unit of data transferred, as the poster was wondering. I agree that maintaining the network and ensuring it can meet capacity is a cost that the ISP passes on to their customers, but I would point out that this is why people pay a monthly subscription to their ISP.

To my mind the question would be "if an ISP has network with a fixed capacity, do their monthly operating costs differ between a month where they consistently utilize 50% of that capacity compared to another month where they utilize 80%?"

I suspect the cost to the ISP is the same in either case: they have purchased the equipment and bandwidth to support the network and those costs are fixed, regardless of how much of that bandwidth they are actually using. If that is true, this idea that there is only so much data per month to go around and if you use more then your neighbor then you should be charged more money would be fundamentally dishonest.
Yeah it looks like a great project with endless directions to expand.

I think it would be nice for that drop down for authentication to just offer one more choice. For me there's sort of an "oh, just google" moment when there is just one built in authentication.

That's not to take away anything from the project as it is, it's pretty great.
In France, there are caps on the speed but not on the amount of data.
Yes, but what you are describing is Orwellian, statist bullcrap that Americans typically don't abide with at all. We are not supposed to be a nation run by administrative bureaucrats whose jobs are to hassle us. So whether or not flying is Constitutionally protected, the right to travel freely generally is protected. All this corporo-statist bs security at the airports has been in a knee-jerk response to a few incidents that seem designed to instill fear in the public and lead to the Orwellian nightmare that we have now. I'd personally like to see most all of it rolled back if only so that the cost of government can go down. If you don't feel safe flying then don't. Being free means being brave and hey it's not for everyone. Luckily, there are many asshole nations to choose from where they will happily take your freedom and let you live out your life is slavery to them for the sake of some free food or whatever.

As far as un-appealable no-fly lists, that's just more Orwellian bullshit that people should not tolerate. A person living in a free country should never find themself in a position where they are on a secret list that they can't get off of!
The web is a public space - it's not your property or your front yard.

You're wrong here. Just because it's a public space does not mean nobody owns the property. As a simple example, a shopping street is usually a public place. That does not mean that all window displays, doorways and adjacent buildings are automatically a free-for-all.

In fact, only "the tubes" of the web are a public space. The rest is owned property, even if there are no visible fences.
doesnt that sound like laundering?
Both statements are technically correct. One statement clearly transports the facts, the other is massively misleading.

The additional use of "books" is further misleading and technically not correct. It is one single book.

How much does unmetered 10Gbps of back-end network transit cost?

In the US at scale I think it would be around $5,000/month. That gives you peak capacity of 3PB but you can’t expect anything like perfect utilization.

With a bit of hand-waving I would guess your provider’s transit cost is on the order of $3-5/TB/month...

Even if EU geography brings this down to $1/TB/month, they are losing money on you. I seriously doubt it’s going to be on the order of $0.10/TB/month for transit.

Contrast this with AWS bandwidth costs in Europe!
Especially on those machines: You could simply press the reset button and it would go back to a pristine state. There was no hard drive or other state that persisted across reboots.

Was there a cap for DSL?
Chrome added “install app” in the omnibar
Especially if you're paying for one of the better services, like Andrews and Arnold etc. They have caps listed on their broadband pages. There have been regular stories where customers have been sent letters about their bandwidth usage even though they're on 'unlimited' plans. The ISPs generally refer to clauses in ToS, which (imho) doesn't mean anything can be 'unlimited'.
I don’t believe Hanlon's Razor applies to police
OFCOM and the ASA banned the use of the word "unlimited" to describe broadband plans with a usage cap, which pretty much killed caps overnight. More recently, they banned "up to" speed claims - the advertised speed must be representative of the actual speed of the majority of users during peak hours. Broadband providers must also offer a guaranteed minimum speed, with the right to cancel the contract without penalty if that speed cannot be achieved.
Traffic in a highway during rush hours, can't imagine a better analogy. Nailed that one.
This should be presentation 101, you don't just put the text on the screen that is the same thing you are reading aloud. It should be for charts, diagrams, or some other visual to support your presentation or to break up the monotony. I was also taught to never use white backgrounds, I'm not sure if that is proven but I've always followed that rule. That said, I avoid presenting at all costs :)
The first game I played for 12 hours straight without noticing what happened. The only real flaw was the crystite strategy that had a "runaway win" nature.

So what was the actual situation?

A) The password was being sent in full to the server, over HTTPS?

B) The password was being sent in full to the server, over a plain text (unencrypted) channel?

It sounds like the CTO was claiming the former (A).

If you are running JS on the client anyway, then it seems reasonable to pass the client the salt, and ask only for the hash of the salted password.

But, if you say it's never OK to send the full (unhashed) password over HTTPS, then this implies it's not OK to have a fully server-side web app with password authentication. Because the only way to validate the password is for the client to send the whole password (unless you only ask for specific characters, but then password storage gets harder).

This is a key component of cable company advertising: they stress the _speed_ at which data is delivered to your home network and, somehow, leave out how much data they will allow to be delivered.

Thus the situation in this article: they subscriber purchases a 4K television and chooses a higher bandwidth cable internet plan. They do not realize that they are only paying to use the same fixed amount of data up more quickly.

I wonder if we'll eventually see companies like Netflix and Disney pressure cable companies to drop these bandwidth caps. In this article the subscriber cancels their Hulu account and turns down the Netflix video quality, directly costing Hulu money and devaluing their 4K television.
Not really, it sounds like a rainy day fund - a business may be out of business (or out of the building) within ten years, but the building will be around for at least another fifty, retain its value, and provide constant income.

The laundering aspect may have a grain of truth in a way though; instead of having e.g. an investment or sale paid out (and consequently taxed), it's rerouted into buying a building. Why pay I dunno, 50% income tax to get the money right now instead of reinvesting the money and long-term earning a lot more?

First thought:

The club is described by Sherlock Holmes in the story "The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter" as follows:

There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to comfortable chairs and the latest periodicals. It is for the convenience of these that the Diogenes Club was started, and it now contains the most unsociable and unclubbable men in town. No member is permitted to take the least notice of any other one. Save in the Stranger's Room, no talking is, under any circumstances, allowed, and three offences, if brought to the notice of the committee, render the talker liable to expulsion. My brother was one of the founders, and I have myself found it a very soothing atmosphere.

Second thought prompted by lwhalen:

According to the Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers by the third-century AD biographer Diogenes Laërtius, Diogenes of Sinope, the fourth-century BC Cynic philosopher, often masturbated in public, which was considered scandalous.[7][8][9] When people confronted him over this, he would say, "If only it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing my belly."[7][8][9]

The problem is narrative setting, it's very easy to take the same facts and truths and present two different narratives.

Unbiased news and journalism should present the facts without a narrative, but this is very dry and doesn't get the same clicks as a breath taking story.
Somewhat, maybe.

In the UK my ISP (which has excellent service but a small customer base, so it has actual quotas, not a faux "unlimited" service with some hidden usage policies) charges £45 pcm for the cheapest 200GB quota and £55 pcm for 2TB quota. So that means 1.8TB of quota comes to £10 pcm end user cost (ie that has their profit and taxes baked in). Maybe much less difference than you realised.
I for one think those photos / charts are important as otherwise you won't understand how big WeWork is. Couple of days ago I was casually checking Wework locations and was surprised that they have 24 locations in Beijing, 10 in Bangalore, 21 in Tokyo ! They are everywhere.

But wouldn't new ones be created? I think that's what the parent poster is getting at - teasing out if this isn't just a common case of reactionary environmentalism and anti-human bias, where the criteria for finding that a certain construction is harmful is not applied to natural features, revealing the whole reasoning to be hypocritical, and not the real reason why it's the argument is being made.
That doesn’t sound right. Two hours a day, 14 days, two adults (watching separately) is 56 hours of 4K streaming. Netflix 4K streaming is 3.5 to 7 GB per hour. So worst case for two weeks is 392GB. Now over a month, with a little extra watching on weekends, I can see how you’d blow past the cap.
This is still the case in the Houston Tx area. I am paying 50 extra bucks to have "unlimited" internets because kids. We averaged 7 days before our 1TB was used each month.
