Hmm, let's call "buy nothing" a neutral strategy. Then a combination of “buy stocks A, B, and C” and “short stocks A, B, and C” has the same effect as the neutral strategy. But the combination of “buy stocks A, B, and C” and “the broad market minus the stocks A, B, and C” is equal to "buy everything" and has not the same effect as the neutral strategy.

You seem to assume "buy everything" to be the neutral strategy. Then everything plays out as you say.
That is what I meant but you have to think differently from traditional architecture. Like you can’t be design system upfront when scrum teams are sprinting
The problem is the legal equation isn't that simple, and is subjective by merit of the extent to which it is subjected to persistent arbitration. This just leads to muddied waters and attempts to favorably contextualize the discussion in favor of one actor over the other. Black and white reasoning isn't a luxury afforded those who find themselves entangled in these situations. Some examples:

Does it stand to reason that attempting with purpose to discover exploitable flaws in and of itself makes you a bad actor? ( we've sentenced minors, academics and "white hats" using this argument )

What if someone wrote software that had a legitimate use, but made use of an undisclosed flaw that is then sold to many consumers and reverse engineered, revealing the flaw to larger constituents? What if bad actors merely used a tool out of its original context to exploit a side effect? Does this constitute intent? ( this was tried and the individual in question was jailed )

If an open source project collects money from a bad actor unknowingly and then discloses through a PR or official release the existence of a flaw previously unknown, should they be culpable? ( waiting to see this one play out, hasn't yet, but I have no doubt it will. Was kind of expecting it as a result event-stream.js )

This all just speaks to the concept of subjectivity vs objectivity in the litigation of this concept. The point where it is subjective, rather than objective is the point where it becomes an ethical discussion, and is therefor subject to the principle of fallibility and the human uncertainty principle. tl;dr, if you can't strip motive, investment and bias from the argument, it can't be objective by definition.
Well yes, but all emails I've ever seen already have their binary attachments encoded as base64
Let’s go with your argument. What economies of scale and purchasing power would make for a differentiable competitive difference vs Local Coffee Co? Are those economies the driving force for Starbucks success? For their competitive advantage in the eyes of a consumer?

WeWork is an international brand. Can you name another coworking space in nearby [state/country]? On the other hand there’s prob a WeWork there with a certain consistency wrt quality that you’d expect.

I think the point is not that they don't deliver a service; it's that the prospects for that service are far less rosy than they want you to believe, and the company is being gutted by disgraceful profiteering, nepotism, and what some people might call stealing.
In this case the article is talking about pretty expansive hardware projects, think GPS or a drone fleet and that software needs to be involved earlier with requirements and design instead of an afterthought.

That is quite different than the CRUD web application that most people are working with.
Imagine you work for BigCo in BigCity but live in SmallCity a one hour drive from BigCity. Now you options are spend two hours in your car each day, work from home, or walk 10 minutes to the local WeWork space where you have a desk. Now Imagine that there are also 7 other people at BigCo that live in SmallCity, now you guys can get a shared office space together and still be all be 10 minutes walk from the office.

In fact the company I used to work for did just that. They rented 10 desks at a local co-working space in the next town over and told everybody who lived around there that they where free to work there if they didn't feel like making the 1 hour commute each way.
When I walk through a forest, it is full of life. There are dozens to hundreds of critters living above and below me everywhere I walk. When I walk through developed areas, it is lifeless pavement. Anything that reduces humanities footprint, leaving more land to Nature, is probably a good thing. I hope people don't give up on solar paneled roads.
Starbucks does not have more competitive gross margins than Local Coffee Co. would to be a big enough differentiator.
Because minimizing ground covered with man-made stuff is a goal worth chasing. Leaves more of that thing called "nature" intact and doing its job, which - among other things - is to keep us alive and breathing.

Hence the idea of dual-using those insanely large areas covered with concrete that we use as roads is a great one in principle. We do the same with rooftops already, and it works great. But roads appear to be much more challenging than rooftops.
Somewhat. OP also mentions generating energy from the pavement, which I don't think will ever be reasonable.

Solar car park covers are a great idea. Easier access than roofs, don't need to be water proof. Good cooling airflow underneath. Tend to be close to cities where power is easier to transport.

Solar parking lot covers are the best ROI solar installations I can imagine.

Surprised Telsa isn't doing this with their SuperCharger stations
There's the possibility that the humans in that area at that time were migratory, i.e. only visited it in the summer.
When Google indexes reputation impacting personal information, it is not verifying the authenticity of the information. This leads to a potential market for reputation harming falsehoods to be SEO-ed to the top of search results.

Sure, section 203 indemnifies Google et al, but it creates an incentive for bad faith actors to exploit the system.

What is your solution for this problem?
> Colas, the company that built the road, said in 2016 that the solar panels were covered with resin containing sheets of silicon to make them capable of withstanding all traffic.

I'm going to bet they said that after the check cleared.
To be fair, the Dutch solar bike path was reportedly more successful than expected.

So the idea isn't too crazy, it seems. Maybe it is unsuitable for heavy vehicles, or in areas where particulate is more likely to collect and affect the light gathering; but to some degree it can be successful.
we are already doing a massive project in geoengineering by pumping out huge amounts of CO2. There is a lot of controversy about the effects of this project. How could we ever agree on a other project considering that the feedback loops are very slow and very complex.
Sure, Haskell's perfectly fine. But so are most of the popular languages, and those companies see more value in those.
Why has this idea that consumption is wealth-generating caught on so thoroughly? Consuming, consuming, consuming seems like it's just burning the stored wealth of the country, by selling off our valuable productive assets in exchange for trinkets (really, we're selling dollars, but those come back looking to buy up real estate, companies, etc).

What's really wealth generating is investing in things that fuel long term productivity growth at a higher rate than the cost - education, automation, useful infrastructure (here's looking at you, Chinese ghost cities), tools/machinery, and R&D. Everyone buying TVs is the complete opposite, yet it would show up as a short term boost to the GDP.
Scrun has a definition of done, it usually is some form of

* code checked in

* accepted

For each user story. So performance, capabilities, and other enhancements or fixes are their own user story and follow the same path.
I know nothing of the details here, so this is total speculation, but I can imagine value in going with a solution you know wont "succeed", if the data you get from the failure is valuable. Like, no need to spend money trying to fix the tractor problem if the leaf problem is too severe. If in practice the leaf problem only deteriorates things by 30%, that's different than 80%, etc.

Spending the money to solve problems on your first run is likely to not actually solve all of them.

Then again, this could be a bold exercise in fraud and/or incompetence.
I actually love seeing the "pavement lights" in NYC when I walk past them, or recognize that I'm walking under them. At this point, I know they're purely decorative, but it was a nice touch and something idealistic that left behind something cool. As far as what I was thinking on sidewalks, the other response got it right; I was thinking of putting archways and solar roofing over sidewalks. It doesn't need to be high-yield, but the benefits really sound like they outweigh the risks (as a pedestrian) - keeps the sidewalk in shade, keeps the rain and snow off, and generally would make walking a nicer experience. I've been on covered sidewalks before (including the ubiquitous scaffolds in Manhattan, Hoboken, and Jersey City - I used to aim to walk by the buildings I knew had scaffolds up when the weather was bad out), and it's a better experience than just being outside. Plus, if it's covered well, I think it'd reduce the opportunity for pedestrian vehicle accidents; just from having less possibility of people and cars interacting.

EDIT: Also, thank you for answering about the road idea, it was a thought. Too bad it doesn't work. :-P
I liked the post except for its repeated use of the nonsense buzzphrase "virtue signaling." WTF is that supposed to mean?

We have lots and lots of words; I don't believe this BS phrase fills an otherwise unfillable gap.
Seems like it could be convenient to use typescript in some way. Not to code the DSL, but as the DSL itself.

It's language specific, but if a variation with minor attributing extensions existed that seamlessly round-tripped to yaml, the verbosity would just completely collapse.

Readability and creating from scratch could be an order of magnitude more efficient for anyone familiar with JS (reading a handful of interface definitions vs. human parsing back and forth between the docs and YAML).
Right now I am mainly using Feedly.

I think there will have to be a market for removing CO2 from the atmosphere. I honestly don't have hope that humanity is smart enough to estimate the consequences of global warming and act optimally. The biggest problem is that the richest countries will suffer the least from warming and some will even benefit.

More likely, I think a 3rd world country will realize how cheap and easy it is to pump sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. Sulfur dioxide cools the planet at a ridiculously low cost but then you get things like irritated lungs and acid rain. For some country, the costs of warming will outweigh the costs of using such a harmful approach and this country will be able to act unilaterally.

The threat from using sulfur dioxide may be enough to push countries who only marginally suffer from global warming to actually do something. I don't think it's possible to combat climate change without immediate and present danger.
It is a fiasco in the sense that it didn't work as advertised, or anywhere close.
If certain businesses were impacted, where did the demand get displaced to? With restaurants, was it to other restaurants that were more visible or were people more likely to eat at home? If some of the demand for other goods or services, not being a necessity of life as food is, simply vanished, is that a bad thing? Perhaps GDP goes down but efficiency goes up? And what effect does this have on the happiness of the population? These aren't meant to be leading or rhetorical but are interesting to ponder.
Please put in a bit of effort. Off the top of my head, Postgres, Office, Qt. In yesterday's Blender thread they discussed it and Maya, Autocad, 3DS Max. Web? Jquery, Drupal, Wordpress.

I would disagree. History is full of airplanes that were built or modified (sometimes improved) by hackers.

There's an immensely successful experimental aircraft industry, and I'm not just talking about people who are (successfully) building human-scale vtol drones.
So who is more liable. The card catalog with a reference to something awful or the actual thing that did something awful?
Good point. I am coming from the web app point of view. I assumed the comment section was a bit more generic. Also i should have clarified what context i am referring to.
I don't actually think that aged very well. Joel's company has been renamed after a product that's two years old, and his mature product has been fading in the market as newer alternatives like Jira and Asana and (ironically) Trello take over its market share.
I’ve recently built a thing at work to generate an OpenAPI spec from Clojure specs and some annotations, which worked out surprisingly well. We already have a collection of endpoints through compojure, and we just spec the handler functions and add some annotations for docstrings, and that’s basically it. As an added bonus we have the test suite validate all api calls against the spec, so in theory the OpenAPI spec should always be accurate.

For the curious, we took and hacked https://github.com/metosin/spec-tools to output OpenAPI 3, and added a very thin shim to hook that up to our routes.
That was also around the time Anand left the company. They probably had transitional issues.

That being said, last year all I could read on their comments section was their bias towards AMD to the point they were being accused of being paid by AMD. They had a ton of AMD coverage, including I believe a one on one with Lisa Su.

So I’m currently taking accusations of bias with a grain of salt.
But the "free and open internet" is a vague term. We would not say, for instance, that an internet without HTTPS or end-to-end encryption is desirable, despite it being less "open" in a surface-level sense, because we know that our underlying goals of a "free and open internet" are better served by reliable security and privacy.

I would also argue that an internet where you are afraid to send nudes to your partner is less "free and open" than one where you can. It's both technically and ethically challenging to build one where you can (one very promising approach, for instance, is DRM, which has the ethical issues of whether to build DRM and whether to portray DRM as reliable - see in particular Snapchat, whose DRM is used for this exact purpose), but it still seems like a worthwhile long-term goal.
Would it not be more economically prudent to simply rent a small office? When I looked into these shared spaces, I found them to be a significant rip-off.
> “We like features that improve both power and performance,” Clark elaborated. “Being on the right path more often is important because the worst use of power is executing instructions that you are just going to throw away. We are not throwing work away after we figure out dynamically that we were wrong to do it. This definitely burns more power on the front end, but it pays dividends on the back end.”

Every documentation I've seen is quite light on the branch prediction improvements. Going by the slides, they improved is accuracy by 1/3; I'd be curious to know how.
Side note: if your superscalar is big enough (yeah, those registers use power), couldn't you just get rid of branch prediction at no performance cost (doing something else while waiting for the data)?

My only grudge against Zen (as a consumer) is that the AM4 socket is intended for both APUs and CPUs. While this is a good thing, I have a couple utterly useless video outputs on my motherboard. I would have liked AMD to include some display driver circuitry on every chip. Maybe in the I/O die, if they use such a thing in all of their designs going forward? I mean, I would be quite content with using software rendering when I need to drive a screen, or even spare a bit of memory bandwidth and CPU cycles to drive an extra display from my desktop's graphics card.

Got a recommendation?
The bad actors are still liable. You go after them to force them to remove the original content that is being indexed.

Yes, it's whack-a-mole, but that will forever be the nature of the internet or any other tool that facilitates democratized content creation at effectively zero cost.
If direct sunlight triggers a harmful reaction in your water, you need to reconsider what's in your water.
Search engines came into existence back in the late 90s as a way to replace human-curated indexes of content so that the CPC (cost per click) for display advertisements could be reduced.

Twenty years later, we are still realizing the price that we pay for universal indexing of all human-created content: we have enabled hate groups to congregate safely under anonymous identities, while simultaneously enabling the complete loss of having a "private life" away from the prying eyes of others.

Yahoo's human-curated index, and the many "books about the Internet" that were published back in the day, certainly did not have the breadth of coverage that search engines did. But in return for that, every site you visited could be assumed to have at least the value the index stated it would have. Topical, relevant, curated. And safe.

This article isn't the best at expressing this point, but they're realizing the same thing that few of my tech friends wish to consider: Stripping away the human review and approval process of maintaining a "card catalog" index of websites may have been profitable, but it comes at the cost of our humanity.

A reservoir is not a "lake", by definition.
Also wider tires on cars are able to catch and drag small pebbles that add to the damage.
Road surfaces need the ability to flex while withstanding huge loads. Materials such as asphalt have this ability. Glass, in layers thick enough to support the loads necessary do not.

Bitumen can also be patched and repaired relatively quickly and easily, and can use relatively simple machinery to repair/replace large sections at once. Solar panels require a lot more surface preparation, precision joining and when they break (because they will - accidents happen), leave dangerous road surfaces that cannot be easily patched/repaired.

Solar Roadways won't work with our current state of technology where we need fixed rigid panels. Something that is either a replacement for bitumen, or can be mixed into it and is able to self-assemble a current pathway might be a viable option. But we're a long ways off doing anything like that.
Soylent growing and getting more funding doesn't necessarily mean people like its taste, it means that it solves a problem better than some other competing products for some customers.
If there's one thing you can be assured of, it's that removed graffiti will be replaced by new graffiti. Only through prolonged removal each time it reappears do the new attempts stop (or at least get reduced to a trickle).

They a pretty comparable, I think the reason elixir is gaining more popularity, is mainly due to it looking like ruby rather than lisp. Also, I personally feel like the BEAM is better for handling concurrency than the JVM.
I have serious doubts these experiments will lead to commercially successful implementations, but I don’t think it is useless to do them.

Reason? Solar cells keep getting cheaper and cheaper. That makes the costs of scaffolding to hold the cells take a larger and larger share of installation costs. In the limit where cells are essentially free, putting cells everywhere there is some large horizontal area will make sense.

Now, of course, we may not get close enough to that limit for this to make sense, cells may be too fragile for mounting in a road, there may be plenty of more profitable places to put solar cells, etc, etc, but that isn’t guaranteed, and we can’t tell without experimenting.
Indeed, it is one of the, I would say, key technology developed at CERN that we were unable to push enough in the industry.

I have read the blue book of smalltalk so far, which describes the smalltalk internals.
I think people undervalue clean-looking (alphabet-only, few special character) things, things that don't require people to use the symbol-parsing part of their brain. Basically easily human-parseable things. I suspect this phenomenon can be observed in the case of relative popularity of JSON, TOML, YAML and Python plus the relative unpopularity of Lisp, Haskell, Rust and XML. And if we look at protobuf in this context it is not easy to parse for humans, which causes people not to want to use it, developers are not

they're more comfortable with the parser being a black box but the format being relatively easy to parse compared to the parser being easy to understand but the format basically unreadable for a human.
For what it's worth, there are non-WeWork coworking spaces all over. I'm not sure if you're near Flagstaff, but there are several in the area.

I believe search engines and social media should be held liable for the content they distribute. They could choose to moderate the content more closely, or if that is too expensive for their business model, they could enter agreements with content creators who want their content appearing in searches or online. They can counter sue the content creators.

Our society and our democracies are suffering under the vast amount of disinformation. Nobody knows what to believe or who to trust. What's real and what's bullshit. Something needs to change.
2 years after the ~2008 crash, I bought stocks in 4 companies that didn't yet recover yet from the crash... 2 of them doubled in value in just a few months and 2 of them went to basically zero... so I just about broke even.
I am not an optimist. It doesn't matter to me if my salary doubles in the next five years unless it improves my quality of life living here. After seeing the major cities here change so much over the last 15 years, I am convinced that an expanded presence of large tech companies will make things worse in every metric I care about: housing; healthcare; affordable education; transportation; etc. Great, I can afford the latest iPhone!
