Exactly.

And there is no amount of social construct that can change this "opportunism".

Either we stop doing and publishing researches on social behavior or we have to assume that it will be distorted and used by malevolent actors or by sheer ignorance.

> and AFAIK sex doesn't influence these

I agree, the only exception I could see is testosterone.

Testosterone, among its other properties, is linked to risk taking behaviour, and risk taking behaviour, apart being of course dangerous, is a way to improve faster.

A Summary of Grace Hopper Story
There are a few parking lots at my workplace, and I park at one fairly close, at a time where the last spots usually fill up.

I haven't kept a tally, but there have been multiple times (after a few earlier experiences on the other end of the spectrum) where I've gotten the last spot on the far end of the lot, only to see the few cars ahead of me drive around and eventually end up going off to another lot.

In my case I'm the meek driver on a micro/lot level, but a prudent/optimistic one on a macro/workplace level. But in my anecdata it's probably saved me more time than any other behavior I could employ.
Why are some of the comments here defending the deletion of facts? If it's a fact that you've stabbed someone and there is a police record to uphold that then you should not have the right for that to be forgotten.

It's in the interest of other people to know if you have done something like this previously (that warrants a police record) and also serves as a deterrent to other potential perpitrators.

This article is interesting because it's an example of how the original intention of the law is being exploited. Surely, this can just be refined with an amendment.

This is great. Fortunately, at my work, if I just drive past the main entrance, and enter the parking lot nearest our entry door, I can start my journey through the lot at the closest point. This obviously eliminates the need for guessing or betting or settling early.

I admit that at certain times I do enter from the furthest entrance...and I always drive past the first spot, and bet on that second one. Quite often there is a better spot as I'm walking in, but sometimes there's not. So when faced with the opportunity, I follow the prudent strategy.

Now at an unfamiliar location (walmart, movie theater, whatever), I always try to find a spot that butts up against a curb (preferably on one side AND the back of the spot as well) to lessen exposure of my vehicle to other motorists (doors, bumpers) as much as possible.

Right.

Thank you for this, perspective is hard for those that weren't there. If you think these people were rubes for not understanding what a Social Security Number was for, consider not only did they not have a credit card, they didn't even need to apply for a Blockbuster card. Or maybe the best way of understanding how different the world was: some yutz thought it would be a good idea to put his secretary's SSN on a demo card instead of zeroes.

We can all laugh right up until we sign up for a site built by someone who doesn't know credit card companies offer test numbers or doesn't understand the value of hashing passwords.
False. In 2007 construction on Watts Bar unit 2 resumed after years of waiting. Similar work began on Vogtle around the same time.

From the post:

> Some of the top-level indicators are surprisingly healthy. HTTPS adoption has taken off like a rocket, driven in part by Google’s willingness to use it as a signal for search rankings — and the rise of free Certificate Authorities like LetsEncrypt. It’s possible that these things would have happened eventually without Snowden, but it’s less likely.

> End-to-end encrypted messaging has also taken off like a rocket, largely due to adoption by WhatsApp and a host of relatively new apps. It’s reached the point where law enforcement agencies have begun to freak out, as the slide below illustrates.

Still not sure what your point is or why you feel the need to tell people that may considering it not to buy it.

Hmm - do non-mathematicians "optimise" their parking? I really doubt it.

I feel like the people trying to park right near the door/entrance to the shops are not "optimising" the time they're there - I feel like they're probably just being lazy and "optimising" for the smallest amount of energy exertion possible (consciously or not). After all, why walk when you have a car? They don't seem to mind spending time following people walking back to their cars, or just looping around and around, or trying to squeeze into spaces that are too small when it is clearly obvious that you can just pull straight into a space another 20-30m away without any waiting or tight squeezes, then spend 15-30 seconds more walking. They're wasting a lot more time trying to get close so it can't be time they are optimising for otherwise people wouldn't do it.

(some people of course can't walk distance but then there are disabled spaces, parent + child spaces etc)

Well what I'm talking about is peer-to-peer. Literally my devices asking my friends devices for messages, updates and content.

I "add" you to my friends. I send you something like a v-card: A blob of metadata saying who I am and what my devices are (with certificates). You get a notification, you see this information and you get to decide there and then what access (if any) I get. This information gets sent to all your devices and you send me back a list of devices and their certificates. You post an update. It gets sent to all your devices. My device does a round-robin attempt on your devices for updates. It sees new stuff, downloads and spawns a notification (if applicable). I'd imagine there'd be ways to make push notifications happen too (ie for chat).

That scales well with a sensibly sized pool of people.

"But I'm an Insta-model with 2 million subs and a business!" ... then make one of your devices a real server in a real datacentre. That's the good thing here, with multiple devices, you can throw as much or little as you like at this. People at the low end still get first-class service up to a point, for just their data.

So people like Facebook and Google can stay in business but only as federated endpoints to this system, charging to provide delegated access.

The costs of nuclear power have never appropriately included the costs of disposal and handling of wastes which will become a permanent long-running tax on all of society for thousands of years.

It's similar to how the fossil fuels based externalities are also never included in the true cost.
The interesting thing is that for long term high reliable cold storage (for e.g. research data) using a bunch of tape robots seems to still be quite viable idea. (The robots read, check and replace broken tapes automatically getting data from tapes can take long so you normally put some form of sdd cache in front of it.)

Then you place the tape robots into a fireproofed room with exhaustive protection measurements (e.g. filling the whole room with CO2 or similar on fire alarm, having extra fireproofed doors which are comparable with bomb shelter doors etc.).

Over budget and late is the norm for projects that complicated. If you’re spending enormous sums of money on something that isn’t very, very close to something you know how to do, again you’ve actually done something very similar, and recently, massive cost overruns are the norm[1].

If the average software project is over budget, late and doesn’t do all the things it was supposed to do on design stage, just think how much more complex these things are.

I don’t think the article assumes an engineer can produce reliable estimates for complex work; in fact it claims the opposite:

In other words, its easy to estimate a task that essentially amounts to copy and pasting some well known CRUD API end point patterns, but any even remotely creative or novel work is almost guaranteed to be totally unknown.

Bias is more about assigning judgments to a person based on visible qualities rather than actual capabilities.

IOW - Elderly people who can actually code get discriminated against all the time (for basic coding jobs, but obviously everyone thinks they got the next Microsoft brewing). This gets justified in many ways around 'agility', 'flexibility' etc. but in essence it is bias.

In some cases there might be actual reasons like you say, problem comes when it is a summary judgment. In general people don't like being judged I guess, and when necessary - like to be judged based on their actual impact. (Granted there are probably also folks who will cry discrimination when there are actual reasons ... I guess we just funded hr eh :).

I have heard same goes for overweight people.
It is supposed to include decommissioning and waste management costs in that £92.50. I'd bet high that there'll be significant taxpayer funded overrun on that. In 2012 that price was comparing against offshore wind strike price of roughly £150/MWh. It was predicted to reach parity mid or late 2020s. Oh dear.

I'm more struck by the link in the middle of the piece to "£100m fund aims to boost UK wind power". Wonder what they could have achieved with Hinkley's £22.5bn.

Hey Nasrudith,

I think you are on a interesting topic, but seems like you are comparing some quite different things.

In your example cutting open a drain cover is not directly away from anyone, where as stealing food is.

The thing you seem to be missing in your case, is that you are not taking into account the time factor and only looking at a single action.

I agree that cutting open a drain cover (vandalism) is less bad when saving a trapped child. However, I do not agree that there should be nothing bad happening to the cutter. Imagine if instead of a drain cover it was someone's house.

Would breaking a window and then being absolved of all responsibility be okay? Should there not be a middle ground where nobody is solely at a loss.

Perhaps the breaker could pay for part of the new window? Perhaps the city could pay for the window as appreciation for the effort of saving one of their citizens?

Perhaps here instead of stealing, the bread could be loaned, or sold at a cheaper price to those in need.

Do you see what I am saying here?
> Consider the GPS software that tells you how to get to a restaurant; it’s also used to direct military drones to their targets.

Perhaps they should use a different example. GPS was developed for the military, then made available to the public sector. Sounds like this license is meant for folks who don't want their open-source used by the icky governments.

Whether a militant regime will give a damn about your licensing is another matter.

Regardless, this is an interesting question: how far does culpability go? If you murder someone you're culpable, if you assist that murderer you're culpable, if you assist the person who assisted the murder... how far removed do we go? The getaway car salesman? The man who does his taxes?

It seems to me that if it is the case that testosterone is responsible, then it would be much better science to identify that and have "high testosterone" vs "low testosterone" groups. You'd be able to predict more strongly if the evidence isn't binary but rather a variable.

This is similar to the claims that "race" predicts health issues, when actually it's usually some specific gene which is only correlated with race.

I don't see how it helps to introduce that extra layer of indirection.
Absolutely not, the history and timelines do not support the narrative of TMI and Chernobyl stopping construction. They certainly didn't help, but go back and read this pre-Chernobyl analysis that lays the blame squarely on mismanagement:

https://blowhardwindbag.blogspot.com/2011/04/forbes-article-...

Or look at when new projects were started, and you see nuclear starts dramatically fall even before we had TMI and Chernobyl.

The revisionist history is to say that we stopped building nuclear because we are scared of it. The reality is that economics and bad management make it extremely unattractive to build, then and now.

The route to market is tough here, whatever the technological solution. People don't believe Facebook is as bad as it is, even when Facebook admits they are to their faces. So whatever we're talking about here, it realistically only comes about after Facebook is ordered to break up or stop trading.

After that, I think there are multiple routes to a true peer-to-peer social network (I've just detailed what I'd do in in another comment in this thread) but the important thing is that companies (looking at phone manufacturers here) aren't storming off and reinventing their own custom shapes of wheel.

So unless Facebook does this all for us and then vanishes (yeah right), it has to be a international standard spec. Nothing else could get enough traction at the consumer-electronics level.

I think the key point is that there is a requirement that the facts being deleted have no significant public interest [0]. So, for example, Boris Johnson can't have his name removed from search results because there's a public interest in preserving the historical record (can't delete facts with significant relevance to the public), but you can have revenge porn deleted (the public really could care less, and doesn't at all benefit from, what you look like naked).

"Nunavut’s [suicide] rate is 100 per 100,000, ten times higher than the rest of Canada and seven times higher than the US. When I visited Nunavut’s capital, Iqaluit, in July, virtually every Inuit I met had lost at least one relative to suicide, and some recounted as many as five or six family suicides, plus those of friends, coworkers, and other acquaintances."

So one in 1,000 kills himself and nearly everyone has a relative that did it? Pretty big families over there.
