It's worse than that in LA. These people live in an urban center, the middle of a city with millions of people, and expect it to behave like some austere countryside in New Hampshire.

If that's what they want, move. Cities aren't for antisocial shutins. Why are they here? Go get a bunch of land at a great price in the beautiful quiet countryside. Really, I wish them the best. Melrose and La Brea isn't going to be a good fit, enjoy time elsewhere.

There is a huge disconnect between the state of criminal law regarding liability/culpability, and the state of neuroscience as a discipline, as well as between both of those things and reality.

The voters elected people whose job it was to oversee Boeing, but those elected people failed at their jobs. Why should the voters be held responsible for that? It's not the voters' job to oversee Boeing, that's why they elected people to choose other people to run that agency. The whole purpose of representative democracy is that laypeople aren't qualified, nor do they have the time, to make every decision collectively needed to run a society, so they select qualified people to do that full-time for them. If those people can't do the job properly, or do an especially negligent job of it, they can rightfully be punished or even prosecuted.

Your argument is like claiming that a taxi company owner should go to jail when one of his drivers rapes a passenger, even if there was no way the owner could have known the driver had this propensity. It's totally nonsensical.

The executives at Boeing are the ones ultimately responsible for the decisions that led to these crashes, because they prioritized profits over safety, and directed their engineers to work towards that end. For that, they should go to jail.

Two things about that in reply to your comment:

1. Right now Firefox Monitor uses your Firefox account for signups. For somebody like me who already has a Firefox account, I don't see a net difference in risk here.

2. If you don't want to make one, then Monitor is transparent in that they just use https://haveibeenpwned.com under the hood (source: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-monitor-faq#w_h...), which doesn't require anything more than submitting your email and passing their Google captcha. It's unfortunate that they're not more forthcoming about this, but the option is there.

If I sell you a lock, and then 10 years later someone finds a vulnerability with the lock I sold you, should I refund you? That seems absurd. You are basically saying the product has to be perfect and the architects have to be able to see the future. Even if your hardware is formally verified, people can do physical attacks like listening to high frequency chirps of your cpu and using that to break security. Do you still deserve a refund?

There is no such thing as perfect security. It is a cat and mouse game that will continue until the end of time, requiring ever greater resources. Therefore... all software and hardware should be free because all software and hardware is defective?
>Having broken the zero interest barrier, there appears to be no bottom to interest rates anymore. The lack of a bottom opens up some very bizarre scenarios.

The flaw in that argument is that it seems to assume individual bonds are perpetuities (actual perpetual bonds are extremely rare). At some point, the bonds you have purchased will actually mature, and you will be paid face value. If it is less than the price at which you purchased the bond, this means you take a capital loss at that point. This decrements your overall rate of return. Therefore, you cannot just drive the price of bonds up forever by ignoring the yield becoming increasingly negative and just focusing on market price appreciation.
Isn't the reason that technically the CPU is still fast and it is the OS (that is outside Intel's control) that slows it down? And AFAIK all OSes can disable these mitigations (are they even a concern for personal computers, especially for cases like gaming?) so if you really want you can get your performance back.

Minor neighborhood roads are necessary so that residents can get home, but they were never intended for mass through traffic. Traffic near humans increases risk to life by way of accidents as well as localized air pollution (living within a short distance of a major roadway is extremely unhealthy in the long term, independently of the issue of regional air pollution that covers all of socal). Using roads for a purpose they were never engineered to serve is not the way out of LA's traffic crisis. But sure, saving two minutes on your commute is worth the cost of running over a dog or child now and then.
> Even if you are not doing any of that, you are still connected because you live in the middle of a society that reaps economic and material benefits from the structures that ultimately incentivize said deforestation.

Then they are also responsible because their government profit from it?

Everything is connected... the fact that it's connected doesn't means anything.

Your comment won't show anything, it won't change anything, it won't help anyone. You are simply making blanket accusation, like if even someone could simply no longer depends on the economy... that's so absurd.

Nobody in their right mind would buy negative yielding debt. Those long term negative rates aren't set by the market. Some pension funds are forced to buy those bonds, as well as quantitative easing.

8 months later retirement per year of life expectancy sounds like a lot but this is hard for me the visualize. because life expectancy isn't going up that fast, right?

It's similar to how I see social security in the us not being adequately funded. We only need to increase funding a little bit to make it solvent. We could do some easy things like increase the cap on income that gets taxed (s.s. has max payment amount, and the tax that pays for it is a percentage of income but there's a cap on how much income they tax, so just increase that income tax cap a bit).
Machine Learning by Andrew ng for sure and by far the best.
Last time I tried, I just couldn’t get userContent.css to work at all. Maybe a user error, but I’d really like an easy way to set some default styles to override the inane Web 0.5 era defaults such as zero margins and unlimited-width paragraphs. Reading Good Old HTML (tm) pages sucks, and although there’s the reading mode, it tends to simply drop vital content it doesn’t happen to support…
Just a warning as, speaking from experience, it happened unbeknownst to me. Congrats on the book btw!

No, they don't. Boeing should not be able to continue as a company, especially with its current management.

There is absolutely a huge need worldwide for large passenger aircraft, however, but the answer is very simple: sell Boeing's assets at fire-sale prices to another (probably foreign) company and let them take over. Perhaps Bombardier would like to massively expand? Or what about Mitsubishi? Or Embraer? Any of those companies could take over Boeing's factories and operations in relatively short order and start building new and safer planes.
Isn't this a "sane" default only in specific contexts though? (VMs). For a desktop PC that almost always runs a single heavy task (games, rendering, video encoding, etc) hyperthreading can be a day and night difference.
Caveat emptor: You are likely to be running with altered config settings, as indicated by your advice above to others, and it’s occasionally found that about:config changes are what are causing crashes. Consider unwinding your changes to provide a more accurate outcome. (I’m not part of Firefox, just pointing out an especially common expert user self-inflicted issue.)

Just consider that they were still selling affected CPUs even when they knew about the vulnerabilities and even after the papers were published.
Yes, that's the real solution here. If there aren't investment opportunities, redistributing some more money will create them.

The best hack I've seen for refrigerators is piping the outside air into it in winter. In Alaska and other cold places like that people can use refrigerators passively cooled by outside air for half a year and more, using almost zero electricity.
Any sharp spike on that graph is a bad sensor read; the 1wire protocol has a pretty weak checksum and you can get bad data that crcs ok when you're reading lots of data. That covers the 30C, 15C.

The spikes to 12C or so that then slowly drop back down are generally the fridge being filled with groceries and taking time to cool back down. If you measured your conventional fridge you might see similar events.

I did have the arm board hang twice this summer. Once I was on vacation, luckily it froze with the fridge turned off (so it didn't freeze down to -5C which is where the dumb thermostat is set), and the fridge was fine for the 24 hours or so until I got home, creeping up to maybe 10C. I need to find a more reliable embedded computer.
"London has about 1/6th of the UK's population, so let's assume 5bn/year comes from London" isn't a good assumption - very few people drive/own cars in London.

I wonder how efficient water is for storing and transferring energy as opposed to something like a lead acid battery.

Ice takes a lot of energy to freeze. That means your freezer is going to be really inefficient for a long period of time once the power kicks back on. Also, any other food you put in the freezer is a thermal mass as well. It might be the last to thaw but it could also be the last to freeze if you deplete the "battery" and have to start the process over.

I'm surprised he didn't invest in further insulating the freezer. Deep freezes are not well insulated and waste more cold than your typical cheap foam beer cooler.
Thanks for the correction. I don’t know how the capital letters got in there...
Ha! People who wear power suits, makeup, expensive haircuts and shoes are already doing all this. Technology just means you don't have to spend time in the stylist's chair to accomplish it any more!
Why woud AC be safer than DC? AC has a higher peak to peak voltage (factor sqrt(2)), so if it's breakdown voltage related DC would be safer. but in cases dielectric breakdown happens for both AC and DC, I can imagine AC being safer since it regularly crosses zero current, potentially allowing the breakdown plasma to extinguish...

the 12V DC vs 120V AC is an apples oranges comparison, with 12V AC and 120V DC it's the other way around. both would be false comparisons.

why would voltage safety tests be unethical? why would one actually test flesh, instead of the theoretical safety models?

The reason we have AC everywhere is simple, historically it was easier to step up and down with transformers (which don't work with DC), but nowadays DC-DC converters are a solved problem.
If there's one change they should make, it's a dark mode.
Mozilla / Firefox owns Pocket.
But currently every appliance has it's own inverter, so running a fixed voltage add through the house would do little good since every DC appliance wants a different voltage.

To be honest, your plan sounds similar to a cocaine party where drugs got scarce and everybody tries to call their dealer in despair to keep the party going for a few more hours.

There is zero incentive for younger people to engage in that if not for complete dependence within such a system.

If that is the outlook, no economic instrument can be the solution since the way the economy is driven is the problem itself.

If you generalize your strategy to a global level you will end up in the exact same spot.

> Residential streets are not designed for heavy through traffic.

One could argue that every street is designed for the amount of traffic that it is able to support- that is, the one that keeps the vehicles circulating at normal speed on that road. If the main road is congested, then it means that that road is not designed for that level of traffic. The Waze algorithm is fine until it moves the congestion to a narrower road.

In theory, a well designed algorithm should direct to secondary and residential roads only the amount of traffic that doesn't congest them, not one car more.

Unfortunately there is limited consistency in tagging film stocks.
Pascal's wager suffer from the fact that it can be any of the myrriads of religions that are correct.

That attitude is similar to a rationale for public vandalism. It's my street! Why shouldn't I turn over the trash cans and spraypaint on the street signs if I want to!

I don't know that it makes sense to isolate just the narrow concept of deep fake creation. It seems like fundamentally a lot (most?) of the breakthroughs that make creation of deep fakes possible are the same ideas that make possible the current state of the art for classification, decision problems, advanced NLP, and other things we call ML or AI.

So to do this pro/con analysis you probably need to include the pros of these related technologies as well, which are certainly more than trivial amusement.
Yeah, to really get in among the weeds and measure the inaccuracies is hopefully impossible.

More scientific than what most would bother with.

If you want to know how boring casinos are, but don't live near one, go to any game arcade where the games give out tickets that can be traded in for prizes. Compare with home video game consoles.

They sucked most of the fun out of video games to turn them into gambling machines for kids. Now imagine if they sucked the remainder of the fun out, and the only thing left was the gambling. Now you can only have fun if you think playing a game where you are statistically guaranteed to lose everything in the long run is fun.

They may have more glamour in the gambling-centric cities, but the few casinos I have been in have all been sad, dingy, smoky places filled mainly with old women staring at their slot machine with dead eyes and cups full of their pension funds.

Even if you temporarily win at gambling, you're still part of a machine that sucks life out of people and leaves them drained husks.

If you don't have an expert system mathematically guaranteed to give you an advantage over the house, you're better off gambling on the stock markets, because at least if you lose there, it might have at least paid for someone else to have a decent non-bullshit job for a little while, and there's also a possibility that everybody wins, even those who didn't play.
