You have to understand that my apparent is older than Dallas, Installing AC would be very complicated and expensive. Adapting buildings to the changing climate will take time, rushing it could be disastrous to old buildings.

Mandatory AC is not the solution but many other solutions are being deployed. The first massive heatwave happened in 2003, it wasn't as hot as this summer but took us by surprise and caused over 15,000 death in France, around 70,000 in Europe.
Compare this to 1,500 death in the record breaking heatwave of this summer.
The minutes of that meeting merely say that Theresa May informed them of the outcome, which they all knew already of course. It says nothing else. Quite possibly nobody else spoke.

The Sion[1] from german car startup Sono Motors will have this. The first cars are planned to be released in 2020.

I personally am not sold on the idea of panels on a car. The positioning will probably be subpar to outright bad most of the time and small accident repairs will cost more, as the panel modules will need replacements.

We have a few electric ferrys in Denmark, so it’s certainly possible, but they obviously aren’t charged by onboard solar or wind power.
Why Teslas don’t—and can’t—have solar roofs [1]

The top of an electric car has maybe 3–5 square meters of flat space.

Solar panels, even at high noon, usually only produce about 200 watt-hours per square meter.

The most efficient production electric vehicles today (probably the Hyundai Ioniq and the Tesla Mod 3) would only be able to travel 2–4 miles on that amount of electricity…in an hour. Most people could walk faster.

Financially, the cost of the panels and electronics, R&D and assembly would never pay for itself in the life of the vehicle, compared to charging from the wall in your garage.

While it might be nice to have for cars that sit there for a while or in the apocalypse. Right now it is better to use home solar panels or charging, as they have more surface area. Or maybe build parking structures with panels that can charge with more area. Maybe one day when they are small enough or can pull in sun into a smaller surface areas it will make sense.

Solar panel cars would probably also really up insurance rates and add more safety work/R&D.

Yeah, that’s a good way of looking at it. Note that a typical modern solar panel is around 285-340 watt these days.

Nick Bostrom is a philosopher, not an engineer. If he spent his time actually making things instead of fear mongerng, he might have an appreciation for how truly difficult it is to actually get things to work, and the challenges that would still confront advanced AI. His instantaneous end-the-world outcomes are not plausible and will never be realized. Yet he argues for draconian, fascist controls on technology and society that have real negative ramifications.

Unless prison radializes them and conditions them to integrate even less with society. Then it would have the opposite effect you desire, even if statistics painted the picture you want to see.
I think the "new" aspect here is that the open source software isn't the same thing as the premium version. The core product is similar but the problem it's solving is different and so are some of the features. I can't think of other OSS funding models that sell quite different products to fund the OSS side.

I actually think Aether Pro is a revelation for software engineers and remote teams. The async nature of the app make this way less disruptive to flow than Slack but it's also so much more organized and visible than email threads. I only started using it recently but I'm already excited by how it'll help my team communicate better. The Pro offering is a very similar product to the OSS version but the audience, benefits and use cases are entirely different and effectively it's a brand new product in itself.
A lot of the times we would just do nothing. Marijuana possession doesn't need punishment for example.

Otherwise there are a tonne of options from before prison became the norm. Community service, restitution, fines, public shaming, exile, corporal punishment, capital punishment. Some more acceptable today than others.

I figure more people coming in also means more overtime benefits, eventually translates to better pension benefits too. Given most pensions are based on the compensations and benefits of the last years of service rendered.

Then of course there could be plenty of hidden stuff like more prison crowds means some one selling food(I hear animals eat better food than inmates) to the prison likely makes more money, and hence better bribes/commissions in the chain of people involved.

Eventually it comes down to profit per person. And they'd like to make it up on scale.

I'm paying less for my 240m² house that I own than I did when I when I was renting a 70m² apartment a year ago. I live in a better neighborhood with three times the space and with every monthly payment I'm building my net worth. I take ownership of my home and learn skills to maintain and repair it. I run around naked with really loud music at night and it's nobody's business but mine. Feels great. Also free parking and I'm growing food that I eat. Neat. There is no doubt that owning my home is a lot better for me than renting, both economically and living standard wise.

But without infinity, a system cannot examine itself, only subsets of itself. Even for the two copies in lockstep, you need a system at least two times as big as the one being examined.
It's a lot less surprising if you look at the functions as Taylor series, then you'd see that exponentiation is basically the same thing as cos + sin. This also explains "why e and not 2?", because the Taylor series for e, cos and sin are very nice by definition (e is defined to have trivial derivative, and radians are defined to make sin and cos have simple derivatives) while the Taylor series for exponentiation by 2 is not.
I'm intrigued by many aspects of the language: focus on staying small, simple and fast; emitting a single statically linked binary with no dependencies; no null, undefined values or behavior; immutable by default; cross-platform GUI library..

Oh man, growing up I had a book of aeroplanes, with diagrams and stats for hundreds of planes that I would obsess over. But the editors did a very cruel thing which was putting a photo of the YF-23 on the cover, but the plane was not in the book. Drove me nuts!
The capabilities actually used were and are a real overkill, for many orders of magnitude.

The whole think tanks and whole branches of military from the start worked on many order of magnitudes multiplied assumptions of the military capability of the opponents. Only now you can read their acknowledgment that the estimates were hugely overblown (1). So they did produce overkill from the start as they produced "enough" rockets and planes. Then they replaced the plain nuclear warheads with the thermonuclear warheads, again many orders of magnitude overkill. And the "victory" is defined as destroying more than the opponent, no matter if anybody would be able to live in the world afterwards. Against the fact that the world was never so interdependent as it is now -- if you would remove all the stuff from your possession where at least some parts were produced in e.g. Asia, you would not have almost anything useful.

We're still in the world that can lose the form as we know it in just one erroneous decision, even if some humans in some caves/shelters manage to survive, what's left will be worse than the most pessimistic movies. And in that world, just the cost of a single type of the plane (F-35) is projected (that means lower than what will be) to 1.508 trillion dollars. And the US just exited one nuclear arm control treaty.

Yeah, what Tesla is doing instead is investing heavily in the infrastructure - charging stations, batteries, and I don't know if they operate solar power fields but they also do solar panels and installation. So if anything, Tesla is doing a lot with solar panels already - just not on their cars for the aforementioned reasons.

Isn't it a case of the better killing the good ?

From your excerpt is seems electric panels still give 2-4 miles of range per hour of charge. Even taking into account the added weight, it's a net positive so why dismiss the idea completely ?

All sorts of market inequalities including when developers cut corners can be fixed by proper regulation and oversight. At the end of the day the cooperatives of people who want to build a few-story home together and they hire a managing company that will direct the building but they will be able to oversee the books should be the winning strategy imo. It just takes more involment from each tenant during construction but ultimately that’s the only way you can be sure that something is done the way you want it - oversee it yourself. It is a burden obviously but given the stakes I think it’s justifiable.
Dunkerque isn't exactly a tourist location! At least for French people. It's in the north of the north so it has worse weather than most places (the North is notorious for its rain and cold compared to other places, everything is grey.).

This is not a given at all. You have to consider the cost of enforcing the payment system. If transport is free you don't have to maintain the turnstiles and gates, employ verification agents, create cards, print tickets, etc. It's not clear at all that fares are covering this cost by themselves. Public transport is already greatly subsidized and already free or cheap for large parts of the population (elderly, disabled, unemployed, students, children).

This article illustrates a cultural problem that is emerging especially with the 20-30s generation.

You can try blaming it on baby boomers, high living costs, lifestyle choices, avocados etc.

They don't care about ownership or property and instead want to consume everything as a service right away for convenience. This might be a one off service or something they are tied into with some contract.

I'm 31 and my peers either can't or won't buy property, cars, phones, kitchen utensils or other assets.

It's like feudalism 2.0, there's a whole bunch of people who own nothing now and are tied into contracts which can be quite onerous. Serfdom 2.0 for the middle classes. Ready to be milked by the people who own these services.

Another example is the music market. It's become intangible with Spotify etc. I still keep digital copies of music and host a Plex server which I control. Noone can deny me access that way. I still have CDs if something really goes wrong.

It's almost like it's cool to be a consumer of Airbnb, Uber, Lyft, Deliveroo, Lime, DriveNow instead of painstakingly saving for that second hand car or holiday at that hotel resort.
A Game That Made Rats Jump for Joy
> If we ban loot boxes in video games, why dont we ban Magic/Pokemon card boosters that you can buy from physical shops?

We really should.

Generally, buying and opening a $4 magic booster pack gives you a shot at a card worth $30+ (sometimes 10x more) on the secondary market, but it's a lot more likely you get card worth $1.

This is clearly gambling.

AFAIK, Wizards only gets away with this by pleading ignorance to the secondary market value of the cards and claiming the contents of each pack is worth the same amount. To this end, they can't discuss prices internally, even though they definitely know if a card is very powerful, it is likely to be sought after and expensive.

Now a lot of you will say, "No one opens packs for cards, people just buy the cards they need." Well, that is easy to say when you have $500 dollars of disposable income to put towards a single Magic deck (which will be obsolete within the year due to rotating sets). As a child, I couldn't afford all the cards I needed for my decks, so I bought packs and cracked them. Specifically, I would buy a box of booster packs and hope to get lucky. This is what all my friends did, and AFAIK continues to be extremely common among kids.

Moreover, despite feigned ignorance, they do know the relative desirability of each card in a given set. They test very heavily internally. Therefore, they can know how many copies the market will demand, and adjust the rarities accordingly to boost sales of booster packs to the secondary market (the card sellers are also buying bulk booster packs and cracking them to get their stock).
Heidegger's response looks rather weak to me, but note that Marcuse also didn't get his point about the treatment of East Germans by 'one of the Allies':

We still need a viable alternative that is both a deterrent and allows for rehabilitation and reintegration. I think things like prison, corporal punishment, exile, etc., are good deterrents but they're horrible at reintegration which is why prisons have such a high recidivation rates. On the other hand, community service isn't a high enough deterrent and flat fines disproportionally affect poor people.

That doesn't mean anything. A standard panel (1m×1.9m) has a peak power of 300W.

What we must compare is the solar radiance times the efficiency of the panel, and multiplied by the surface, would give you your available power
> My uncle is a cop in DC and he says >90% of the hits on plates are for the same number but a different state. Is there any work in identifying the state a license plate is from?

As is so often the case, it seems like it'd be easier to move ourselves to the machine, by including the state information in the code. If a code can only belong to one state, this problem just can't arise.
I guess this cannot be backed up by data. It's a moral belief.
According to my (admittedly minimal) understanding of Turing machines and the halting problem, a Turing machine has a set state encoded on the tape and then the head starts running the program.

I didn't think there was any provision in pure Turing machines for referencing external data, so to reference itself, Q must contain itself recursively on the tape to start with.

If every copy of Q contains a full copy of Q within it then it must be an infinite length program, and any Turing machine will require infinite steps to even read it.

I don't believe this "proof" for this reason.
