Newtons laws of motion would be paradoxes according to your definition. An educated modern person is very familiar with them, but they are highly unintuitive to the uninitiated - this why it took so long to invent them and why they were such a big deal.

There's a distinction I've made in another comment between appearing to be contradictory to reasonably-well established knowledge vs appearing to be contradictory to intuitions. I don't think the latter are paradoxes, and I think the case in question is one of these.

The article contains predictions that VW will go from 26k electric cars sold in 2018 to 1.4m in 2025, while the current sales leader Tesla will only manage to go from 200k to 400k. There's a bunch of rhetoric in the article from car manufacturers that they will easily win because they've been building cars for a century. Statements like we were not in the production hell, and we are still not, and we will not get into any kind of production hell from an Audi executive. However there's very little talk about the most likely bottleneck they will face, which is battery production. There's a brief note that automakers are snapping up every battery they can find but no discussion of any potential problems they might encounter in snapping up enough to sell millions of electric cars per year. The much repeated 100 year experience certainly doesn't apply to battery production. Not only that, but even the battery manufacturing companies don't have experience in producing batteries in such quantities. It's still very much uncharted territory.
And yet again we see that propaganda pattern - insisting that there is a techlash instead of a bunch of whiney vested interests. Then there is the mindless "Do something" crackdown idea with no fucking clue how to fix anything but their power certainly won't be abused pinky swear!

Very simple answer: Nobody is obsessed with Lisp, but Lisp is just better. And almost every "new" idea or feature was prototyped in Lisp already several years ago. Most languages haven't caught up to the most basic Lisp features yet. e.g dump the running state to disc (with all loaded shared libs, open files,...), and restart from there later.

What's so good about it? See the relevant Lisp FAQ's. E.g. https://lisp-lang.org/

If you're in the UK, moving the area by hundreds of miles would be obviously detectable. If you said to the operator "I don't know where I am, somewhere in the New Forest" and then you gave them a long/lat in Newcastle, they'd know to check again. Given that phone towers connect emergency calls to local dispatchers, even saying roughly where you are isn't necessary.

Long-lat are highly effective precisely because almost anyone can read a number [including dyslexic people], and because the concept of a numeric pair as a GPS location is understood, at least in passing, by almost everybody.

> Council house dwellers made no comment about the accusations when we didn't ask.

> I've been discussing/arguing recently about whether being able to prove you've deleted the encryption keys for PII that you have on on long term backups/archives is something we'd want to explain to a judge or jury while the opposing counsel keeps saying "But they didn't delete the data! Show me when they deleted the data!"

What would an implementation of that look like? Would it rely on hardware keys or something? Because otherwise, even if you can prove you deleted a key (which seems very hard to prove a negative), how can you prove that no copy of the key exists? The same questions can be had for plain unencrypted data deletion as well.
There's no clear boundary between assumptions and knowledge. Spherical Earth and distant stars feel no longer paradoxical because we have internalized the more correct model. However, the latter is actually a good example of a result that was paradoxical in its time! Early attempts to measure stellar parallax[1] were unsuccessful, which was at odds with the heliocentric model, unless stars were actually unimaginably far away, something that was deemed implausible at the time.

It seems that most of this type of paradoxes result either from having an accurate-seeming model that nevertheless fails to predict an experimental result, or from making an intuitive but incorrect assumption that a model predicts something which, in fact, it does not.

Things like the stellar parallax and Olbers' paradox are examples of the former class, whereas Simpson's paradox and the Monty Hall problem are instances of the latter.

The graph at the top clearly shows flat TV habits from 2015 to 2019 for the elderly (and more TV use than younger demographics); and increasing computer and smartphone use but still less than younger demographics, even after increase.

So comments about how the elderly might be more succeptible to social network addition seem off the mark. They are still using computer/smartphone less than other demographics, not more.

ECS & Fargate is probably closer to the Heroku experience than Beanstalk is these days. You've got the same primitives you would with Heroku, in the form of Fargate tasks, being orchestrated by an ECS service.

Its definitely more involved than just a git push, you'll have to deal with RDS for databases for example, and get credentials for that into your application. Having said that I think the extra effort needed for ECS is worth it, you end up paying less for the resources your consuming (in some cases significantly less), and you're sitting within AWS so integrating with other products they provide is a lot smoother.

Maine families face elder boom, worker shortage in preview of nation’s future
I like that question!

Hmm, I'd say to be a paradox, it needs to be so unexpected that it's an apparent contradiction. Merely slightly unexpected is not sufficient.

"I did not expect you to arrive so early" is not a paradox.

"The left facing arrow on your website takes me to the next page." whilst both unexpected and unintuitive, is not a paradox.

Some edge cases:

"I am speaking to you in person whilst I am watching you on a live broadcast on television" is maybe a paradox.

A statement like "Fruit juice is as unhealthy as sugary soft drinks." could be a paradox for many people.

The US consumer looking for a $24k 110hp car with cloth seats is not walking onto a Mercedes lot. Mercedes and BMW have always been luxury here, and for a long time there was a price premium simply for the exchange rate and tariffs. It would take a lot of advertising to make Mercedes a middle market brand and it would hurt their luxury image. Considering the number of not wealthy people I see financing or leasing “aspirational” cars like E-class Mercedes or BMW X-series, this isn’t really hurting the breadth of their market.

Yeah, but nothing in the car world is that easy. First you need to fit this to all cars. Then you need to test it (not that cheap), document it extensively (safety level, failure states, activation conditions, ...), check that it actually does what it's supposed to do instead of for example worsening it and then you need to get it certified for all the automotive markets which alone is probably as expensive as all that came before.

Of course the theory is simple, but the practice includes so many departments and agencies that it probably cost several millions. And you need to earn those back, after all.

There doesn't have to be a clear boundary to say that, for example, there's a difference between unfounded assumptions and beleifs that have been tested to different degrees of rigour. What basis is there for the belief that abstract reasoning ought to involve more sophisticated processing? I think it's just an assumption with no solid basis (my initial comment gives the reason I believe that assumption exists).

Yes, the stars thing may have felt paradoxical but it isn't itself a paradox. The thing is that if all it takes for something to be considered to be a paradox is for it to feel paradoxical to a sufficient number of people the a lot of well-established bits of scientific knowledge -- that are in no way paradoxes to people who have the relevant undergraduate degrees -- are paradoxes because they feel that way to the population at large.

In general, most residential buildings (houses and appartment buildings) from before WWII are probably still heated by coal. The post-WWII appartment buildings are usually heated via a warm water sent from an outside coal-based plant (either small one that's just serving a bunch of buildings or a large one serving entire districts/cities).

I live in a dense city where most buildings are from pre-WWII and thus most people burn coal (except for the ones who value convenience and can afford to install a gas boiler in their flats). The smog can be hard to bear during the winter. Also, since there a big population of poor people in the city, you can get 10 kg packs of coal in many convenience stores :) It's for those who didn't just buy a tonne of coal up front before the heating season, because they didn't have a spare $200 laying around.

Having only one ISP locally is typically either caused by market size or local regulation. Comcast does offer a national backbone and sells transit, cdn and other similar services through a subsidiary called Comcast Technology Solutions. The backbone at a national level has definitely received upgrades and they are advertising multiple terabits of capacity. Of course upgrading the transit network does not help if your local link is saturated, which is a problem in some areas.

If there is truly demand for unmetered internet someone will step in and fill the void. Some ISPs also use total transfer as a way to discriminate between business internet and residential internet.
It is possible to fall (essentially) forever without hitting the ground. In fact, the ISS does exactly that.

In addition an object can be "in freefall" whilst travelling upwards. A ball thrown upwards begins "falling" the moment it leaves your hand.

These direct consequences of Newton's laws of motion, and are unintuitive to most modern people, even those who learned Newton's Laws in high-school science.

They are apparent contradictions, and hence I would classify them as paradoxes.
